California State Redistricting and its
Impacts on Rancho Cucamonga
Background
•California must redraw the boundaries of its
Congressional, State Senate, and State Assembly
districts every 10 years, to reflect the updated
census population data.
•The Commission has released draft
Congressional, State Senate, and State Senate
Maps which propose to split the Rancho
Cucamonga Community apart.
Why does it matter?
There are no commonalities between our
residents and those of Los Angeles County
and the remote mountain and desert areas of
San Bernardino County.
The special needs of our uniquely diverse city
need effective representation and only get
diluted when lumped into Districts with
competing priorities.
The location of district lines decide which
voters vote for which representative.Changing
the lines will change the relevant voters and
can change the identity and priorities of a
district’s representative.

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
CITY COUNCIL/FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES
The City of Rancho Cucamonga City Council held a Special Meeting on Monday, November 3, 2021, in the Tri-
Communities Conference Room at City Hall, located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga,
California. Mayor Michael called the meeting to order at 3:35 p.m.
Present were Councilmembers: Ryan Hutchison, Kristine Scott, Sam Spagnolo, Mayor Pro Tem Lynne Kennedy,
and Mayor L. Dennis Michael.
Also present were: John Gillison, City Manager; James L. Markman, City Attorney, Matt Burris, Deputy City
Manager/Community and Economic Development; Lori Sassoon, Deputy City Manager/ Administrative Services
and Linda A. Troyan, City Clerk Services Director.
Council Member Hutchison led the pledge of allegiance.
B. PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
There were no public communications.
C. ITEMS OF DISCUSSION
C1. Study Session - Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFD). (CITY)
City Manager Gillison reported when redevelopment agencies in California were eliminated, there was no longer
a financing mechanism to invest in infrastructure to support development in cities. Years later, a new financing
tool called the Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) was developed. EIFD is how redevelopment
worked, providing for the use of tax increment financing for certain types of infrastructure and other public
investments.
Deputy City Manager Sassoon introduced Joe Dieguez, Senior Vice President of Kosmont Companies, who via
PowerPoint explained how EIFD’s work. He informed that an EIFD can take 12-18 months to form, is governed
by a Public Financing Authority led by city or county, with mandatory hearings for its formation and requires no
public vote to issue debt. He clarified that it is not a tax. He noted that a partnership can be developed with the
County for beneficial uses of a site. Included in the presentation was an analysis regarding how an EIFD might
be used to finance potential future infrastructure projects in the city.
Joe Dieguez, Senior Vice President of Kosmont and Deputy City Manager Sassoon responded to Council
comments on this new private sector investment and development method.
Council consensus to: Pursue district formation to establish base year for incremental value growth as soon as
feasible (first action would be City/County adoption of a Resolution of Intent); and continue to pursue
opportunities for external funding sources (e.g. IIG and AHSC grants), ideally under joint City/County EIFD
platform for greater priority; discuss with potential partners (e.g., County) to determine feasibility for cooperation;
and refine analysis assumptions (e.g., boundary, development projections, levels of contribution, targeted
infrastructure costs) based on continued outreach and feedback.
D. ADJOURNMENT
Mayor Michael adjourned the meeting at 4:55 p.m.

Annette Cano-Soza, Assistant Engineer
SUBJECT:Consideration to Accept Public Improvements Located at the Northeast
Corner of Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue, Related to Case No.
DRC2008-00909, as Complete, File the Notice of Completion, and
Authorize Release of Bonds. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve and accept the public improvements and their design, required for the
development of Case No. DRC2008-00909 and authorize the City Engineer to file the
appropriate Notice of Completion;
2. Release 90% of the Faithful Performance Cash Bond (Receipt No. 274958) for the
associated public improvements;
3. Release the Labor and Material Cash Bond (Receipt No. 274958); and
4. Retain 10% of the Faithful Performance Cash Bond (Receipt No. 274958) as the
Maintenance Cash Bond to be released upon approval of the City Engineer after
successful completion of the 1-year warranty period.
BACKGROUND:
On January 22, 2014, the Planning Commission approved Case No. DRC2008-00909, the project
consisted of the demolition of an existing veterinarian office and construction of a new veterinarian
office and a commercial retail building on 0.60 acres of land located at the northeast corner of
Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue. An improvement agreement and securities were
approved by the City Council on December 7, 2016, to ensure construction of the required public
improvements.
ANALYSIS:
All public improvements required of this development have been completed to the satisfaction of
the City Engineer.
The developer, NAS Alta Loma, LLC has deposited the following securities:
Faithful Performance Cash Bond $14,000 Receipt #274958
Labor and Material Cash Bond $61,800 Receipt #274958
Typically, a separate maintenance bond in the amount of 10% of the Faithful Performance Bond

would be submitted to the City once work is completed. However, the developer has requested
the City retain 10% of the faithful performance cash bond in the amount of $1,400 as the
maintenance cash bond for the warranty period (one year from the final inspection).
With completion of the improvements, 90% of the Faithful Performance cash bond and the full
Labor and Material cash bond are no longer required. The improvements will be re-inspected in
10 months and the remaining cash bond will be released upon approval of the City Engineer if no
defects in materials or workmanship are observed.
FISCAL IMPACT:

SUBJECT:Consideration of the Purchase of Irrigation Parts and Supplies on an as
Needed Basis in an Amount Not to Exceed $175,000 during FY
2021/2022 and $175,000 during FY 2022/2023. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council award the purchase of irrigation parts and supplies on an
as needed basis from SiteOne in accordance with Request for Bids (RFB) #21/22-109, in an
amount not to exceed $175,000 during FY 2021/2022 and $175,000 during FY 2022/2023,
contingent upon approval of the FY 2022/2023 budget.
BACKGROUND:
Irrigation parts and supplies are a vital part of the City’s landscape maintenance program and are
very important to the proper operation and longevity of the irrigation network. The quick repair of
broken lines, leaky valves, and other irrigation components are imperative to save water and
preserve the City’s extensive landscape infrastructure. RFB #21/22-109 required fixed pricing
through December 31, 2022. This enables the continued purchase of irrigation parts and supplies
during the first half of FY 2022/2023 while a procurement is conducted for the following calendar
year.
ANALYSIS:
The Public Works Services Department provided the Purchasing Division with specifications for
review and determined the best method of procurement. The Purchasing Division prepared and
posted a formal Request for Bid (RFB) #21/22-109 for “Irrigation Parts and Supplies on an As
Needed Basis” for one (1) year firm fixed pricing to the City’s automated procurement system.
There was a total of Four Hundred and Seven (407) vendors that were notified and Eight (8)
prospective bidders that downloaded and or reviewed the solicitation documentation. One (1) bid
response was received.
All applicable bid documentation is on file in the City’s electronic bidding system and can be
accessed through the City’s web page.

updates to the part-time salary schedule increasing those steps below the minimum wage to
$15.00 per hour. In addition, the bottom steps of the part-time Library positions were changed to
match the full-time position’s hourly rate.
The City recently negotiated an updated job description for the position of Assistant to the City
Manager. The scope of duties, responsibilities, and requirements match those of the Deputy
Director classification. Changes to the RCMA salary schedule include an increase to the salary
range for the Assistant to the City Manager to match the Deputy Director of Human Resources
salary range. The RCMA salary schedule effective date would be December 2, 2021 to facilitate
the current Assistant to the City Manager recruitment.
All other salary schedules, classifications, job titles, and other terms of employment remain the
same.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution updating the salary schedules for
job classifications employed by the City for fiscal year 2021-22.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING SPECIFIC PLAN
AMENDMENT DRC2016-00730, A REQUEST TO CHANGE THE ZONING
DESIGNATION FOR A 6.96 ACRE SITE WITHIN THE ETIWANDA
SPECIFIC PLAN FROM ESTATE RESIDENTIAL (ER) TO VERY LOW (VL)
RESIDENTIAL FOR A SITE LOCATED ON 12774 BANYAN AVENUE;
AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF – APN: 0225-111-07
A.Recitals.
1.EGL Associates, Inc. filed an application for the approval of Specific Plan Amendment
DRC2016-00730 as described in the title of this Ordinance. Hereinafter in this Ordinance, the
subject Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment request is referred to as "the application."
2.On the 18th day of September 2021, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing with respect to the above referenced Specific Plan
Amendment and, following the conclusion thereof, adopted its Resolution No. 21-48, recommending
that the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopt said Specific Plan Amendment.
3.On the 17th day of November 2021, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date.
4.All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
B.Ordinance.
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: This City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the
Recitals, Part A, of this Ordinance are true and correct.
SECTION 2: Based upon substantial evidence presented to the City Council during the
above-referenced public hearing on November 17, 2021, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, the City Council hereby specifically finds as follows:
a.The application applies to a property located on 12774 Banyan Street in the Very
Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and
b.To the north are single-family residences within the Estate Residential (ER) Zoning
District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; to the south are single-family residences within the Very Low
(VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; to the west is a vacant property within the Estate
Residential (ER) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and to the east is a preschool within
the School (S) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and
c.The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Very Low (VL)
Residential and the Etiwanda Specific Plan zoning designation for the project site is Estate
Residential (ER); and
Attachment 1
Page 62
Ordinance No. 990 - Page 2 of 5
d.EGL Associates, Inc. submitted an application for the subdivision of a vacant 6.96-
acre site into 9 lots (Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18012-1). All 9 lots are for the future development
of 9 single-family residences: and
e.The application includes Specific Plan Amendment to change the project site’s
zoning designation from Estate Residential (ER) to Very Low (VL) Residential for the 9 residential
lots. The project also includes Tree Removal Permit DRC2018 to remove up to 157 Heritage Trees.
House product for the lots is not a part of the project scope and will be submitted at a later date; and
f.The site is currently zoned Estate Residential (ER) and is within the Etiwanda
Specific Plan. The applicant has requested to change the zoning designation to Very Low (VL)
Residential, which will enable the subdivision of the project site in a manner which is consistent in
design and density with all other existing residential development along the north and south side of
Banyan Street, between Bluegrass Avenue and Etiwanda Avenue; and
g.The proposed lots comply with the 90-foot lot width and 200-foot lot depth
requirements of the Etiwanda Specific Plan for the Very Low (VL) Zoning District. The subdivision
has an average lot size of 26,914 square feet, which exceeds the required 25,000 square foot
average lot size.
SECTION 3: Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the
above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1
and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a.That proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan 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 Specific
Plan Amendment will implement the Land Use Policies outlined above and will not be inconsistent
with the density or quality of existing development within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area and the
City.
b.The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan amendment does promote the goals and
objectives of the Etiwanda Specific Plan 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 Etiwanda Specific Plan amendment will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
The proposed Specific Plan Amendment will enable development on the subject property to be
consistent with all other residential development along Banyan Street. The lots will be of similar size
to the surrounding development. The minor increase in density will 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.
Page 63
Ordinance No. 990 - Page 3 of 5
d.The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan. The General
Plan states that the Very Low (VL) land use designation is characterized by detached, very low
density single-family residential units on 0.5-acre lots or larger, with private yards and private
parking with a density range of 0.10 to 2 dwelling units per acre. The related subdivision
(SUBTT18012-1) for the project site has a proposed density of 1.29 dwelling units per acre. The
proposed Specific Plan Amendment will be fully compliant with the General Plan; and
e.The proposed amendment is consistent with the objectives of the Etiwanda
Specific Plan. The project site is being subdivided for the development of single-family residences
with a density of 1.29 dwelling units per acre and an average lot size of 26,914, in excess of the
required 25,000 square foot average lot size. The lots will be of similar size to the existing
residential lots to the south and east, and will become an integral part of the surrounding area.
SECTION 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 City Council finds that there is no substantial evidence that the
project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference,
based upon the findings as follows:
a.Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the City’s local
CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of
the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the
imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would
have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment
period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b.The City Council has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the
comments received from the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) 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. During the Public Comment Period, staff received comments from the CVWD
regarding requesting a minor textual correction in the percentage of groundwater provided by
CVWD to the City, from 35% to 45%. This correction has been incorporated into the Mitigated
Negative Declaration. The City Council further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects
the independent judgment and analysis of the City Council. Based on these findings, the City

MITIGATION MEASURES INCORPOPRATED INTO THE PROJECT TO AVOID SIGNIFICANT
EFFECTS
Air Quality
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.The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where
feasible.
4.The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans include a statement that
work crews will shut off equipment when not in use
5.All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1108.
6.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.
7.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 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
Page 72
Initial Study for
Tentative Tract Map No. 18012 (SUBTT18012-1)
City of Rancho Cucamonga
Page 6
accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403 requirements.
8.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 Particulate Matter (PM10)
emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
9.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 PM10 emissions.
10.Landscape with native and/or drought-resistant species to reduce water consumption and to
provide passive solar benefits.
11.All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate high-efficiency/low-
polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water heaters.
12.All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate thermal pane windows
and weather-stripping.
13.Projects shall be designed in accordance with the applicable California Green Building Standards
(CALGreen) Code (24 CCR 11).
14.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.
Biological Resources
1.The proposed action should not occur during the migratory bird nesting season (Feb 1 - Aug 31).
In the event construction must occur during the nesting bird season, a qualified biologist should
conduct a nesting bird survey no more than ten (10) days before the start of construction. If the
biologist determines that there are active nests, appropriate buffers will be established for each
nest and no work will occur inside the buffer of an active nest until the fledglings are no longer
dependent on the nest or until the biologist otherwise determines the nest is inactive. In the event
this mitigation measure is implemented, it is expected that site development would not result in
"take" of nesting migratory birds.
2.Perform a Burrowing Owl Survey that is in conformance with the Department of Fish and Wildlife
Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation and submit the written report outlining the findings to the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the Planning Department within 30 days of
groundbreaking activity. The Burrowing Owl Survey shall follow the following protocol:
a.Burrowing Own Survey methodology shall be based on Appendix D (Breeding and non-
breeding season surveys and reports) of the CDFW Staff Report. Results of the pre-
construction survey shall be provided to CDFW and the City. If the pre-construction survey
does not identify burrowing on the project site, then no further mitigation is required. If
burrowing owls are found to be utilizing the project site during the pre-construction survey,
measures shall be developed by the qualified biologist in coordination with the CDFW to
avoid impacting occupied burrows during the nesting period. These measures shall be
based on the most current CDFW protocols and will at minimum include establishment of
buffer setbacks from occupied burrows and owl monitoring. If ground-disturbing actives are
delayed or suspended for more than 30 days after the pre-construction survey, the site
shall be resurveyed for owls.
b.During the non-breeding season from September 1 through January 31, if burrows are
Page 73
Initial Study for
Tentative Tract Map No. 18012 (SUBTT18012-1)
City of Rancho Cucamonga
Page 7
occupied by migratory and non-migratory resident burrowing owls during a pre-
construction survey, burrow exclusion and/or closure may be used to exclude owls from
those burrows. Burrow exclusion and/or closure should only be conducted by a qualified
wildlife biologist in coordination with CDFW using the most current CDFW guidelines.
c.During the avian nesting season from February 1 through August 31, if nests are
discovered, they shall be avoided through the establishment of an appropriate buffer
setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary “no construction”
area would have to be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as determined by
a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is complete and all nestlings have fledged
and have left the nest, construction in that area may resume.
3.A biological construction monitor (BCM) shall be present during the days when initial ground
clearing, best maintenance practice (BMP) installation and vegetation removal activities are
occurring. The BCM will be observe the activities and watch for special status reptiles such as the
Coast horned lizard ((Phrynosoma blainvillii) and Coastal whiptail (Aspidoscelis tigris stejnegeri),
and if detected will relocate them out of harm’s way.
Cultural Resources
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 Archeological resources of
CEQA to eliminate adverse project effects on significant, important, and unique prehistoric
resources, including but not limited to, avoiding archeological sites, capping or covering
site with soil, planning the site as a park or green space or paying an in-kind mitigation fee.
Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the inventory, evaluation,
and proposed mitigation of resources within the project area. Submit one copy of the
completed report, with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological
Information Center for permanent archiving.
2.In the event that cultural resources are discovered during project activities, all work in the immediate
vicinity of the find (within a 60-foot buffer) shall cease and a qualified archaeologist meeting
Secretary of Interior standards shall be hired to assess the find. Work on the other portions of the
project outside of the buffered area may continue during this assessment period. Additionally, the
San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Cultural Resources Department (SMBMI) shall be contacted
regarding any pre-contact and/or post-contact finds and be provided information after the
archaeologist makes his/her initial assessment of the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input
with regards to significance and treatment.
3.If significant pre-contact and/or post-contact cultural resources, as defined by CEQA (as amended,
2015), are discovered and avoidance cannot be ensured, the archaeologist shall develop a
Monitoring and Treatment Plan, the drafts of which shall be provided to SMBMI for review and
Page 74

Tentative Tract Map No. 18012 (SUBTT18012-1)
City of Rancho Cucamonga
Page 8
comment, as detailed within TCR-1. The archaeologist shall monitor the remainder of the project
and implement the Plan accordingly.
4.If human remains or funerary objects are encountered during any activities associated with the
project, work in the immediate vicinity (within a 100-foot buffer of the find) shall cease and the
County Coroner shall be contacted pursuant to State Health and Safety Code §7050.5 and that
code enforced for the duration of the project.
5.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 to the report to San Bernardino County Museum.
Geology and Soils
1.The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and
RWQCB) daily to reduce PM10 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
PM10 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 PM10
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 PM10 emissions.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
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.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1.AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a)Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?( )( )( )()
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but
not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a State Scenic Highway?
( )( )( )()
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or
quality of the site and its surroundings?
( )( )()( )
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the
area?
( )( )()( )
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. Therefore, no impact is anticipated.
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.
Therefore, no impact is anticipated.
c)The site is located on the north side of Banyan Street, east of Etiwanda Avenue and is
characterized by single-family residential development as well as vacant land zoned for
single-family residential development to the south, east, and north. To the west is a school.
The visual quality of the area will not degrade as a result of this project because the project
is similar in development type, aesthetics, and massing as the surrounding built
environment. Design review is required prior to approval. 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. Therefore, a less
than significant impact would occur.
d)The project would increase the number of streetlights 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. Lighting will be selected and located to confine the area of
illumination to within the project site. Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur.
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, or a
Williamson Act contract?

Comments:
a)The site is designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance. The site is located on the north side of Banyan Street, east of Etiwanda Avenue
and is characterized by single-family residential development as well as vacant land zoned
for single-family residential development to the south, east, and north. To the west is a
school. 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 characterized by existing and
planned development. Farmland in the southern portion of the City is characterized 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. he proposed
project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts
evaluated. Therefore, no impact is anticipated.
b)There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no
Williamson Act contracts within the City. Therefore, no impact is 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. Therefore, no impact is
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. Therefore, no impact
is anticipated.

e)The site is located on the north side of Banyan Street, east of Etiwanda Avenue and is
characterized by single-family residential development as well as vacant land zoned for
single-family residential development to the south, east, and north. To the west is a school.
The nearest agricultural use is more than 500 feet east 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. Therefore,
no impact is 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 discussed in subsection b, the project would not exceed any air quality standards and
would not interfere with the region’s ability to comply with Federal and State air quality
standards for Criterion 1 Increase in the Frequency or Severity of Violations (local air quality
impacts) or Criterion 2 Exceed Assumptions in the AQMP (consistency with the 2019
AQMP). Therefore, the project is consistent with the 2019 AQMP, and no impacts are
anticipated.
b)Both the State of California and the Federal government have established health-based
ambient air quality standards (AAQS) for seven air pollutants. These pollutants include
ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), coarse
particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM10), fine particulate matter less
than 2.5 (PM2.5) microns in diameter and lead. Among these pollutants, ozone and
particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) are considered regional pollutants while the others have
more localized effects. In addition, the State of California has set standards for sulfates,
hydrogen sulfide (H2S), vinyl chloride and visibility reducing particles. These standards are
designed to protect the health and welfare of the populace with a reasonable margin of
safety.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga area is within the South Coast Air Basin, which is under
the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The
California Clean Air Act (CCAA) provides the SCAQMD with the authority to manage

transportation activities at indirect sources. Indirect sources of pollution are generated when
minor sources collectively emit a substantial amount of pollution. Examples of this include
motor vehicles at an intersection, a mall and on highways. SCAQMD also regulates
stationary sources of pollution within a jurisdictional area. Direct emissions from motor
vehicles are regulated by the Air Resources Board (ARB).
The combination of topography, low mixing height, abundant sunshine, and emissions from
the second largest urban area in the United States gives the Basin the worst air pollution
problem in the nation. The Basin experiences a persistent temperature inversion (increasing
temperature with increasing altitude); this inversion (coupled with low wind speeds) limits
the vertical dispersion of air contaminants, holding them relatively near the ground.
Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) of 1970, the EPA established national ambient
air quality standards (NAAQS) for six major pollutants, termed criteria pollutants: ozone
(O3), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM10), fine particulate
matter less than 2.5 (PM2.5) microns in diameter, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide
(NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and lead.
Criteria pollutants are defined as those pollutants for which the Federal and State
governments have established AAQS, or criteria, for outdoor concentrations in order to
protect public health. Data collected at permanent monitoring stations are used by the EPA
to classify regions as “attainment” or “non-attainment” depending on whether the regions
met the requirements stated in the primary NAAQS. Nonattainment areas have additional
restrictions as required by the EPA. The EPA has designated the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG) as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
responsible for ensuring the Basin’s compliance with the FCAA. The South Coast Air Basin
is in Non-Attainment Status for Ozone, PM10 and PM2.5.
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 Quality Impact
Analysis (date) was prepared by Urban Crossroads (November 8, 2016) that utilizes
CalEEMod (Version 2016.3.1) to evaluate short-term construction emissions and short-term
construction emissions for localized significant thresholds, long-term operational emissions,
operation emissions for localized significant thresholds, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
Short Term (Construction): Project Emissions and Impacts
The project proposes to subdivide an approximately 6.96-acre parcel for the construction of
9 single-family residences. The project site is currently vacant. The potential emissions
associated with construction of the project are described in the following sections.

Summary of Peak Construction Emissions (Emissions Summary of Overall Construction
with Best Available Control Measures)
Construction activities associated with the project will result in emissions of CO, VOCs, NOx,
SOx, PM10 and PM2.5 and are expected from the following construction activities: demolition,
grading (including soil import), building construction, painting (architectural coatings) paving
(curb, gutter, flatwork, and parking lot), and construction worker commuting.
Localized Significance Summary (Construction Emissions with Best Available Control
Measures)
Equipment Exhausts and Related Construction Activities
Construction activities produce combustion emissions from various sources such as site
grading, utility engines, on-site heavy-duty construction vehicles, asphalt paving, and motor
vehicles transporting the construction crew. 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; however, as
shown in the tables above, the amount will not exceed any threshold of significance.
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 Coatings
Architectural coatings contain VOCs that are similar to ROCs and are part of the O3
precursors. Based on the proposed project, it is estimated that the proposed project will
result in a maximum of approximately 20.05 lbs of VOC per day (combined for all
construction sources) during construction. Therefore, this VOC emission is the principal air
emission and is less than the SCAQMD VOC threshold of 75 lbs/day.
Odors
Heavy-duty equipment in the project area during construction would emit odors. However,
the construction activity would cease to occur after individual construction is completed. No
other sources of objectionable odors have been identified for the proposed project, and no
mitigation measures are required. In compliance with 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.
Naturally Occurring Asbestos
The proposed project is located in San Bernardino County and it is not among the counties
that are found to have serpentine and ultramafic rock in their soils. In addition, there has
been no serpentine or ultramafic rock found in the project area. Therefore, the potential risk
for naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) during project construction is small and less than
significant.
Cumulative Impacts: Short-Term Construction Emissions
Continued development will contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga
area, which already exceed Federal and State standards. During the construction phases
of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, construction
worker vehicles, and energy use will generate emissions. In addition, fugitive dust would
also be generated during grading and construction activities. While most of the dust would
settle on or near the project site, smaller particles would remain in the atmosphere,
increasing particle levels within the surrounding area. Construction is an on-going industry
in the Rancho Cucamonga area. Construction workers and equipment work and operate at

one development site until their tasks are complete. Nevertheless, fugitive dust and
equipment emissions are required to be assessed. The General Plan Final Program
Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Air Quality based on the
future build out of the City. Based upon on the Urban Emissions Model (URBEMIS7G)
estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan (FPEIR), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone (O3),
and Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10) would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for
significance; therefore, they would all be cumulatively considerable if they cannot be
mitigated on a project basis to a level less-than-significant. This city-wide increase in
emissions was identified as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement
of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the
Section 4.3 of the General Plan FPEIR.
Although the project will have a less than significant impacts, the implementation of the
following best practices and mitigation measures from the City’s 2010 General Plan FPEIR
will further reduce the project’s short-term air quality impacts:
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)The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel
powered equipment where feasible.
4)The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans
include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use.
5)All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule
1108.
6)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.
7)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
hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of
construction.
Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds
exceeding 25mph) 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.
8)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
PM10 emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
9)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 PM10 emissions.
Project Long Term (Operational) Emissions and Impacts
Long-term air pollutant emissions are those associated with stationary sources and mobile
sources involving any project-related changes. The proposed project would result in a net
increase in the amount of development in the area; therefore, the proposed project would
result in net increases in both stationary and mobile source emissions. The stationary
source emissions would come from additional natural gas consumption for on-site buildings
and electricity for the lighting in the buildings and at the parking area. As shown in the
following tables, project implementation will not exceed any significance thresholds. No
long-term, operational impacts will occur as a result of the project.

Summary of Peak Operational Emissions
Cumulative Impacts (Long Term/Operational Emissions)
The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the
potential impacts to air quality based on the future build out of the City. In the long-term,
continued development 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,
all developments would be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a project
basis to a less-than-significant level. This City-wide increase in emissions was identified as
a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding
Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the Section 4.3 of
the General Plan FPEIR.
Although the project will have less than significant impacts, the implementation of the
following mitigation measures from the City’s 2010 General Plan FPEIR are designed to
further reduce the project’s operational and cumulative air quality impacts:

10)Landscape with native and/or drought-resistant species to reduce water
consumption and to provide passive solar benefits.
11)All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate high-
efficiency/low-polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water
heaters.
12)All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
thermal pane windows and weather-stripping.
13)Projects shall be designed in accordance with the applicable California Green
Building Standards (CALGreen) Code (24 CCR 11).
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. Although the project will have less than significant
impacts, the implementation of mitigation measures listed in subsection b) above from the
City’s 2010 General Plan FPEIR designed to minimize long-term, operational air quality
impacts, will further reduce the project’s impact.
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 ¼ mile of
single-family residences.
According to the SCAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Handbook, land uses associated with odor
complaints typically include agricultural uses, wastewater treatment plants, food processing
plants, chemical plants, composting, refineries, landfills, dairies, and fiberglass molding
(SCAQMD 1993). The proposed residential project does not include any uses identified by
the SCAQMD as being associated with odors and therefore would not produce
objectionable odors. As such, the proposed project would have no significant impact in
regard to objectionable odors. No mitigation is required.
Although the impacts are anticipated to be less than significant, the mitigation measures
listed under subsection b above and the following mitigation measure will further reduce
any potential impacts.
14) 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 or roofing, painting and paving. These odors are temporary and would
dissipate rapidly. Operational odors (Long-term) are not typically associated with the type
of use. Odors from the proposed residential use would most likely be from activities such
as cooking and lawn care; however, these odors would be minimal and not considered to
be significant. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated.

Comments:
a)The project site is located in a vacant parcel surrounded by single-family residential uses
and a school. The site has been previously disrupted due to its location in urban area.
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 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. A Biological Assessment which included a field
survey, and a literature review was prepared for the project site by Bellini Biological
(November 22, 2016). Additionally, a Biological Assessment Memorandum was also

prepared on September 19, 2020, in order to address any site changes from the original
2016 report,
Based upon the disturbed habitat conditions at the site, which is located in an urbanized
area, unique habitat and/or soil types and conditions do not exist, and therefore suitable
habitat is lacking at the site for all potentially present special status plant species. No special
status plants were detected during the site inspection. As such, it appears that no special
status plants are present and it is expected the proposed action would have no effect upon
special status plants.
The following special status wildlife species are potentially present at the subject property:
Cooper’s Hawk (Accipiter cooperii) – CDFW Watch List Species
Suitable habitat for Cooper’s hawks is described as: forest and woodlands and leafy
suburbs. These hawks are commonly found in parks, quiet neighborhoods, over fields, at
backyard feeders, and even along busy streets if there are trees around. Cooper’s Hawks
build nests in pines, oaks, Douglas-firs, beeches, spruces, and other tree species, often on
flat ground rather than hillsides, and in dense woods. Nests are typically 25-50 feet high,
often about two-thirds of the way up the tree in a crotch or on a horizontal branch. Suitable
foraging habitat is present as Cooper’s hawks adapt well to urban settings. Cooper’s hawks
were not detected during the site inspection. Suitable nesting habitat is present in
eucalyptus trees at the site. In addition, other large trees within 500 feet of the subject
property provide nesting opportunities.
California horned lark (Eremophila alpestris actia) – CDFW Species of Special Concern
Suitable habitat for California horned larks is described as: the stubble, grass, and fallow
lands near cultivated fields. The majority of the birds live in the wide expanses of the
deserts, foothills, and dry grasslands that encircle the farming areas. The nest is a
depression on the ground, lined with grass. Marginal foraging and nesting habitat is present.
Not detected during the site inspection.
Belding’s savannah sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis beldingt) – CDFW Species of
Special Concern
Suitable habitat for Belding’s savannah sparrows is described as: grasslands with few trees,
including meadows, pastures, grassy roadsides, sedge wetlands, and cultivated fields
planted with cover crops like alfalfa. Nests are amid a thick thatch of the prior season’s dead
grasses in densely vegetated areas. The nest is usually on the ground or low in grasses,
goldenrod, saltrnarsh vegetation, or low shrubs such as blueberry, blackberry, rose, and
bayberry. Marginal foraging and nesting habitat is present. Not detected during the site
inspection.
Critical habitat is a term defined and used in the Endangered Species Act. It is a specific
geographic area(s) that contains features essential for the conservation of a threatened or
endangered species and that may require special management and protection. Critical
habitat may include an area that is not currently occupied by the species but that will be
needed for its recovery. The closest critical habitat area with respect to the site has been
established for the San Bernardino kangaroo rat located roughly 0.4-miles northwest of the
subject property within the alluvial fan chaparral/ scrub habitat associated with Day and

Deer Creek canyon washes in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Due to the
distance between the subject property and critical habitat areas it is apparent the proposed
action would not result in destruction or adverse modification of a critical habitat area of a
federally endangered or threatened species.
Under the provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MTBA) (16 U.S.C., §703, Supp. I,
1989), it is unlawful to “pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, attempt to take, capture, or kill,
possess, offer for sale, sell, offer to barter, barter, offer to purchase, purchase, deliver for
shipment, ship, export, import, cause to be shipped, exported, or imported, deliver for
transportation, transport or cause to be transported, carry or cause to be carried, or receive
for shipment, transportation, carriage, or export, any migratory bird, any part, nest, or eggs
of any such bird, or any product, whether or not manufactured, which consists, or is
composed in whole or part, of any such bird or any part, nest, or egg thereof.” In addition,
most birds that nest within the state of California are afforded further protections under
California Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) code. Section 3503 of CDFW code states “It is unlawful
to take, possess, or needlessly destroy the nest or eggs of any bird, except as otherwise
provided by this code or any regulation made pursuant thereto.”
The following migratory birds were detected during the site inspection; Mourning dove
(Zenaida macroura), Eurasian collared-dove, American crow, Western scrub-jay, Northern
mockingbird, House finch, and Lark sparrow.
No nesting activity was detected during site inspection; however, the site inspection was
performed during non-nesting season. Suitable nesting habitat is present at the subject
property for nesting birds within the eucalyptus trees and other vegetation at site, and on
the ground. As such, the proposed action has the potential to impact nesting birds, including
the Burrowing Owl. This is true even if their nests are not directly impacted as disturbances
near an active nest can be disrupting to the point of causing nest failure. As such, the
following mitigation measures shall be implemented in order to reduce impacts to a less
than significant level:
1)The proposed action should not occur during the migratory bird nesting season
(Feb 1 – Aug 31). In the event construction must occur during the nesting bird
season, a qualified biologist should conduct a nesting bird survey no more than
ten (10) days before the start of construction. If the biologist determines that there
are active nests, appropriate buffers will be established for each nest and no work
will occur inside the buffer of an active nest until the fledglings are no longer
dependent on the nest or until the biologist otherwise determines the nest is
inactive. In the event this mitigation measure is implemented, it is expected that
site development would not result in “take” of nesting migratory birds.
2)Perform a Burrowing Owl Survey that is in conformance with the Department of
Fish and Wildlife Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation and submit the written
report outlining the findings to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife
(CDFW) and the Planning Department within 30 days of groundbreaking activity.
The Burrowing Owl Survey shall follow the following protocol:
a.Burrowing Own Survey methodology shall be based on Appendix D
(Breeding and non-breeding season surveys and reports) of the CDFW
Staff Report. Results of the pre-construction survey shall be provided to
CDFW and the City. If the pre-construction survey does not identify

burrowing on the project site, then no further mitigation is required. If
burrowing owls are found to be utilizing the project site during the pre-
construction survey, measures shall be developed by the qualified
biologist in coordination with the CDFW to avoid impacting occupied
burrows during the nesting period. These measures shall be based on the
most current CDFW protocols and will at minimum include establishment
of buffer setbacks from occupied burrows and owl monitoring. If ground-
disturbing actives are delayed or suspended for more than 30 days after
the pre-construction survey, the site shall be resurveyed for owls.
b.During the non-breeding season from September 1 through January 31,
if burrows are occupied by migratory and non-migratory resident
burrowing owls during a pre-construction survey, burrow exclusion
and/or closure may be used to exclude owls from those burrows. Burrow
exclusion and/or closure should only be conducted by a qualified wildlife
biologist in coordination with CDFW using the most current CDFW
guidelines.
c.During the avian nesting season from February 1 through August 31, if
nests are discovered, they shall be avoided through the establishment of
an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife
biologist. The temporary “no construction” area would have to be
maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as determined by a
qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is complete and all
nestlings have fledged and have left the nest, construction in that area
may resume.
The Biological Assessment Memorandum submitted on September 19, 2020 identified that
two Special Status reptiles, the Coast horned lizard (Phrynosoma blainvillii) and Coastal
whiptail (Aspidoscelis tigris stejnegeri) have the potential to occur on the project site. In
order to prevent impacts to special status reptiles, the following mitigation measure will be
implemented.
3)A biological construction monitor (BCM) shall be present during the days when
initial ground clearing, best maintenance practice (BMP) installation and
vegetation removal activities are occurring. The BCM will be observe the
activities and watch for special status reptiles such as the Coast horned lizard
((Phrynosoma blainvillii) and Coastal whiptail (Aspidoscelis tigris stejnegeri),
and if detected will relocate them out of harm’s way.
b)The project site is located in an urban area with no natural communities. No riparian habitat
exists on-site. Therefore, no impact is anticipated.
c)No wetland habitat is present on-site. Therefore, no impact is anticipated.
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. Therefore, no adverse
impacts are anticipated.

e)There is a total of 158 trees on the project site, with 157 of them considered Heritage Trees
due to either their size or species. 110 of the 158 trees (about 70%), are either dead or
nearly dead. The remaining 48 trees (47 of which are Heritage Trees) are in poor condition
due to the presence of Asian Longhorned Beetle and the wood decaying Sulfur Fungus.
These trees constitute a hazard on any future development on-site, as all trees are at risk
of toppling, which may result in property damage. The project proposes to remove all 158
existing trees. The Planning Director has approved the replacement of 47 trees, to be
planted on the project site, in order to mitigate the removal of the 47 heritage trees currently
in poor condition on the site. This tree replacement plan is incorporated in the project plans.
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. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated.

Comments:
a)The applicant has submitted a cultural resources study prepared by Earthtouch, Inc. on
December 2016. The cultural resources study included archaeological records search by
the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) of all properties within a 1-mile radius
of the project site. Data sources consulted at the SCCIC included archaeological records,
Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility (DOE), historic maps, and the Historic Property
Data File (HPDF) maintained by the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). The HPDF
contains listings for the NRHP and/or CRHR, California Historical Landmarks (CHL), and
California Points of Historical Interest (CPHI). Additionally, the City of Rancho Cucamonga
Local Inventory of Historic Resources (2011) and the Local Register of Historic Resources
(last updated July 2012) were reviewed for any listings that might be relevant to the project.
A pedestrian survey was also conducted on the property.
The results of the records search at the SCCIC indicated that there have been at least 60
archaeological investigations conducted within a 1-mile radius of the subject property. None
of the 60 reports included any portion of the property. The SCCIC maps indicate that 16
archaeological resources have been identified within a 1- mile radius of the property.
However, there were no archeological resources or architectural properties recorded within
the project site.
Based on the information obtained through the records search and from the field survey,
there is sufficient information to conclude that the prosed development will not impact any
historic resources. Based on this information, no impact is anticipated.

b)There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project site; however,
the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans
according to the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6). Construction activity, particularly
grading, soil excavation, and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and
potential archaeological resources. The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact
Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Cultural Resources based on the future build out
of the City. The following mitigation measures as identified in the FPEIR shall be
implemented:
1)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 an in-kind mitigation fee.
Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the
inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the
project area. Submit one copy of the completed report with original
illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information
Center for permanent archiving.
Additionally, during the tribal consultation process detailed in the Tribal Cultural Resources
section of this document, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians have asked to include the
following mitigation measures:
2)In the event that cultural resources are discovered during project activities, all
work in the immediate vicinity of the find (within a 60-foot buffer) shall cease
and a qualified archaeologist meeting Secretary of Interior standards shall be
hired to assess the find. Work on the other portions of the project outside of
the buffered area may continue during this assessment period. Additionally,
the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Cultural Resources Department
(SMBMI) shall be contacted regarding any pre-contact and/or post-contact
finds and be provided information after the archaeologist makes his/her initial
assessment of the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regards
to significance and treatment.

3)If significant pre-contact and/or post-contact cultural resources, as defined by
CEQA (as amended, 2015), are discovered and avoidance cannot be ensured,
the archaeologist shall develop a Monitoring and Treatment Plan, the drafts of
which shall be provided to SMBMI for review and comment, as detailed within
TCR-1. The archaeologist shall monitor the remainder of the project and
implement the Plan accordingly.
4)If human remains or funerary objects are encountered during any activities
associated with the project, work in the immediate vicinity (within a 100-foot
buffer of the find) shall cease and the County Coroner shall be contacted
pursuant to State Health and Safety Code §7050.5 and that code enforced for
the duration of the project.
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
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:
5)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 the construction of infrastructure, and
surrounding developments. 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.
6.GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project:

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 1,500 feet west of the site, and the Etiwanda Avenue Fault Scarp lies
approximately 2,500 feet to north. These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0-7.0
earthquakes. The San Andreas Fault, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is about 10 miles
northeasterly of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. 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 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 PM10 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 PM10 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 PM10 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 PM10 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 Soboba Gravelly Loamy Sand 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 Soboba Gravelly Loamy Sand Soil association according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit
4.7-3. These soils typically have very slow runoff. 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. Therefore, no
impacts are anticipated.

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 6 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 3 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit (oF) over the next
century.
Assembly Bill (AB) 32 requires that the California Air Resources Board (ARB), the lead
agency for implementing AB 32, determine what the statewide GHG emission level was in
1990 and approve a statewide GHG emissions limit (427 million metric tons of CO2
equivalent) to be achieved by 2020 and prepare a Scoping Plan to outline the main
strategies for meeting the 2020 deadline. Significant progress can be made toward the 2020
goal through existing technologies and improving the efficiency of energy use. Other
solutions would include improving the State’s infrastructure, and transitioning to cleaner and
more efficient sources of energy.
The ARB estimates that 38 percent of the State’s GHG emissions in 2004 was from
transportation sources followed by electricity generation (both in-State and out-of-State) at
28 percent and industrial at 20 percent. Residential and commercial activities account for 9
percent, agricultural uses at 6 percent, high global warming potential gases at 3 percent,
and recycling and waste at 1 percent.
It is not anticipated that any single development project would have a substantial effect on
global climate change but that GHG emissions from the project would combine with
emissions across California, the United States, and the world to cumulatively contribute to
global climate change. Therefore, consistent with the ARB’s Climate Change Scoping Plan,
the proposed project was evaluated for consistency with the Early Action Measures
(Scoping Plan is a recommendation until adopted through normal rulemaking). The

proposed project is assessed by determining its consistency with the 37 Recommended
Actions identified by ARB. In compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 97 and CEQA, the project
has been analyzed based on a qualitative analysis (CEQA 15064.4). Additionally, the ARB
was directed through SB 375 to develop regional GHG emission reduction targets to be
achieved within the automobile and light truck sectors for 2020 and 2035.
SCAQMD and ARB maintain ambient air quality monitoring stations in the Basin. The
stations closest to the project site are the Upland station and the Fontana-Arrow Highway
station. The Upland station monitors all criteria pollutants except PM10, PM2.5, and SO2
which are monitored at the Fontana-Arrow Highway station. The ambient air quality in the
project area for CO, NO2, and SO2 are consistently below the relevant State and Federal
standards (based on ARB and EPA from 2007, 2008, and 2009 readings). Ozone, PM10,
and PM2.5 levels all exceed State and Federal standards regularly.
Project 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. 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 City of Rancho Cucamonga has not adopted a threshold of significance for GHG
emissions. However, a screening threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year is based upon South
Coast Air Quality Management District staff’s proposed GHG screening threshold for
stationary sources emissions for non-industrial projects, as described in the SCAQMD’s
Interim CEQA GHG Significance Threshold for Stationary Sources, Rules and Plans.
Project related GHG’s would include emissions from direct and indirect sources. Based on
the Greenhouse Gas Analysis by Urban Crossroads dated November 8, 2016, total project
related emissions would be 216.06 MTCO2eq/year, as shown in the following table:

As shown in the table, direct and indirect operational emissions associated with the project
as compared to the SCAQMD’s interim threshold of significance of 3,000 MTCO2e per year
would result in a less than significant impact with respect to GHG emissions.
Cumulative 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 (CO2). 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
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, Ch4, and N2O. CH4 is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment.
Based on the Greenhouse Gas Analysis by Urban Crossroads dated November 8, 2016, no
significant impacts to GHGs from short-term construction impacts would occur as a result
of the project as shown in the table above. Because the project would result in minimal
emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD’s interim threshold of significance, the project’s
contribution to cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. The proposed project would
have less than a significant short-term cumulative impact.
Although a less than significant impact is anticipated with regard to cumulative short-term
construction emissions, the following enforceable mitigation measures in accordance with
Mitigation Measure 4.5-1 of the 2010 General Plan Update FPEIR will further reduce the
project’s short-term impacts:
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.
Cumulative Long 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. To date, there is no established quantified GHG emission
threshold.
The project involves the subdivision an approximately 6.96-acre parcel for the construction
of 9 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: water efficient landscaping, shade trees, and
walkways that provide accessibility to public sidewalks.
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. The proposed project will incorporate several design
features including: water efficient landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that provide
accessibility to public sidewalks. 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.
Based on the Greenhouse Gas Analysis by Urban Crossroads dated November 8, 2016, no
significant impacts to GHGs from long-term, operational impacts would occur as a result of
the project as shown in the table above. Because the project would result in minimal
emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD’s interim threshold of significance, the project’s

contribution to cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. The proposed project would
have less than a significant long-term operational impact.
Although a less than significant impact is anticipated with regard to cumulative long-term
construction emissions, the following enforceable mitigation measures in accordance with
Mitigation Measure 4.5-1 of the 2010 General Plan Update FPEIR will further reduce the
project’s long-term operational impacts:
7)Construction and Building materials shall be produced and/or manufactured
locally, as feasible. 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.
8)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 develop 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.
9)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 or as
required by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD).
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.

10)Reuse and recycle construction and demolition waste. 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 subdivision an approximately 6.96-acre parcel for the construction
of 9 single-family residences which is consistent with the General Plan.
No other applicable plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG
emission apply to the project. The 2010 General Plan Update includes 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 proposed project includes water efficient landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that
provide accessibility to public sidewalks and therefore is consistent with the sustainability
and climate change policies of the General Plan. The General Plan Final Program
Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of GHG’s 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. Based on the Greenhouse Gas Analysis by Urban
Crossroads dated November 8, 2016, no significant impacts to GHGs from short-term,
construction impacts or long-term, operational impacts would occur as a result of the project.
Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD’s
interim threshold of significance, the project’s contribution to GHGs from short-term
construction and long-term operational cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. In
addition, the proposed project would not hinder the State’s GHG reduction goals established
by AB 32. Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur.

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.
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

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.
c)There are schools located within 1/4 mile of the project site. The project site abuts an
existing school. The project will be required to comply with existing State and Federal
standards on the use and transport of hazardous materials. Typically, the residential uses
proposed 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.

f)There are no private airstrips within the City. The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is
located approximately 2 and 1/2 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 3 years, includes policies and procedures to be administered by the City of Rancho
Cucamonga in the event of a disaster. Because the project 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

Comments:
a)Water and sewer service is provided by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD). 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 (NOI) 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 EGL Associates, Inc., May 16, 2016, 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 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:
6)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.
7)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 47 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
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 the 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, it is required to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) to minimize water pollution. With implementation of the mitigation measures
specified under subsection a) and the following mitigation measure, less than significant
impacts are anticipated.

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.
h)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.
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.
j)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. Therefore, no impact is anticipated.

Low (VLR) Land Use District is characterized by detached, very low-density single
residential units on 0.5 acre lots. The proposed lots average 27,043 square feet in size.
Additionally, the project is within the City’s Equestrian Overlay, and the site will include a
private equestrian trail system providing equestrian access to each lot and to the community
trail along Banyan Street. 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. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

f) 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?
( )( )( )()
Comments:
a)The project site is not within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to
General Plan Figure PS-9 at build-out. Additionally, the applicant has submitted a Noise
Study by Rincon Consultants, Inc. (February 2020) to review existing noise conditions and
construction noise levels. The analysis finds that the primary existing sources of noise in
the project vicinity are motor vehicles along Banyan Street.
The measured noise levels in the vicinity of the project site range from approximately 46
dBA Leq to 70 dBA Leq. According to the City’s adopted exterior noise standards, an exterior
noise exposure below 60 CNEL is normally acceptable for single-family residences.
Conservatively assuming that the project site would be exposed to traffic noise levels up to
70 CNEL from Banyan Street, the proposed on-site noise-sensitive receivers could be
exposed to normally unacceptable noise levels. Using an attenuation rate of 4.5 dBA per
doubling of distance, single-family residences associated with the proposed project would
require a setback of at least 116 feet from the centerline of Banyan Street to meet the City’s
normally acceptable level of below 60 CNEL. Based on the project site plan shown in Figure
2, current plans for the project include a setback of approximately 50 feet from the centerline
of Banyan Street to the southern residential lots. At this distance, the traffic noise levels
from Banyan Street would attenuate to 65.5 CNEL based on an attenuation rate of 4.5 dBA
per doubling of distance.
Construction of the proposed project would generate temporary noise that would exceed
existing ambient noise levels on and around the project site but would cease upon
completion of construction. Oeration of equipment during site preparation and grading could
generate noise levels in excess of up to 68 dBA Leq at the nearest single-family residences
30 feet north of the project site boundary and Frost Early Education Center 30 feet east of
the project site boundary. Additionally, grading could generate noise levels up to 67 dBA
Leq at single-family residences 115 feet south of the project site boundary across Banyan
Street. Construction noise level estimates do not account for the presence of intervening
structures or topography, which could reduce noise levels at receiver locations. Therefore,
the noise levels presented represent a reasonable worst-case estimate of actual
construction noise. According to Section 17.66.050.D.4 of the RCMC, construction noise
should not exceed 65 dBA Leq when measured at the property line of an adjacent residential
or school land use.
To further reduce noise impacts and to ensure noise levels are below the level of
significance, the following mitigation measures shall be incorporated into the project.
Exterior:
1)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.
2)Consistent with the hours described in Section 17.66.050.D.4 of the RCMC,
construction times shall be limited between the hours of 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM

on weekdays and Saturdays. No construction activity shall be permitted on
Sundays and national holidays.
3)Construction activities shall be scheduled to avoid operating several pieces of
equipment simultaneously, to the maximum extent feasible.
4)Contractor shall provide stating areas on-site to minimize off-site
transportation of heavy construction equipment. These areas must be located
to maximize the distance between activity and sensitive receptors.
5)Construction vehicles shall not park, queue and/or idle at the project site or
along the adjoining public rights-of-way prior to the construction hours.
6)Electrical power shall be used to run air compressors and similar power tools
and to power any temporary structures, such as construction trailers.
7)Temporary noise barriers with a minimum height of 10 feet, would be placed
along the northern, eastern, and southern boundaries. To be effective the
barriers must break the line-of-sight between on-site construction activities
and off-site receivers to the north, east, and south throughout the duration of
site preparation and grading activities. The noise barrier should be
constructed of material with a minimum weight of 2 pounds per square foot
with no gaps or perforations. Noise barriers may be constructed of, but are not
limited to, 5/8 inch plywood, 5/8 inch oriented strand board, or hay bales.
8)Implement a permanent solid wall with a height of a least six feet, or sufficient
to break the line of site, along the southern project site boundary capable of
reducing traffic noise from Banyan Street by at least 4.5 dBA.
9)The perimeter block wall shall be constructed as early as possible in first
phase.
b)The normal operating uses associated with this type of project normally do not induce
ground borne vibrations. Construction related vibration may create short term noise and
vibration impacts. With the mitigation measure listed in under d) below, any impacts will be
less than significant.
c)The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic. Because the
project will not significantly increase traffic as analyzed in Section 16 Transportation/Traffic;
it will likely not increase ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the project. Impacts will
be less than significant.
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 mitigation measures listed under Section a)
above reduces any impacts related to constriction noise to a level less than significant.
e)The site is not located within an airport land use plan and is not within 2 miles of a public
airport. The Project is located approximately 6 miles northeast of the Ontario Airport and is
offset north of the flight path. No impact is anticipated.

f)The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2 1/2 miles to the west
of the City's westerly limits. No impact is anticipated.
13.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 is located in a predominantly developed area and will include the construction
of 9 single family homes. Although the project will increase the population growth in the area
there will be a less than significant impact as the project is consistent with the underlying
Zoning and General Plan Designation. The density was analyzed as part of the build out in
the General Plan FPEIR. Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not
attract new employees to the area. No significant impacts are anticipated.
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:

b) Police protection?( )( )()( )
c) Schools?( )()( )( )
d) Parks?( )( )()( )
e) Other public facilities?( )( )()( )
Comments:
a)The site, located on the north side of Banyan Street, east of Etiwanda Avenue would be
served by a fire station located approximately 3/4 of a mile from 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. 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. Therefore,
a less than significant impact would occur.
b)The increase in 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
regularly patrolled. Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur.
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,
plus the Etiwanda School District special tax. This standard condition is also added as a
mitigation below. With this, impacts to the School Districts will therefore be considered less
than significant.
1)The developer shall pay the current residential school facility fee plus the
Etiwanda School District special tax.
d)The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
nearest park is located 1/2 mile from 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. Therefore,
a less than significant impact would occur.
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 standard conditions the
increase in Library Services would be mitigated to less than significant impact. Additionally,
the closest public library, the Paul A. Biane Library, recently completed a second floor
addition that added 13,500 square feet of specialized programming space. The proposed
project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts
evaluated. Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur.
15.RECREATION. Would the project:
a)Increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional
parks or other recreational facilities such that
substantial physical deterioration of the facility would
occur or be accelerated?
( )( )()( )
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require
the construction or expansion of recreational facilities,
which might have an adverse physical effect on the
environment?

Comments:
a)The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
nearest park is located 1/2 mile from the project site. This project is proposing the
subdivision of an approximately 6.96-acre vacant parcel for the construction of 9 single-
family residences. The project is in conformance with the Very Low (VL) General Plan land
use designation and will not increase the use of parks or other recreational facilities beyond
that contemplated by the General Plan. A standard condition of approval will require the
developer to pay Park Development Fees. Therefore, impacts will be less than significant.
b)See a) response above.
16.TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC. Would the project:
a)Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy
establishing measures of effectiveness for the
performance of the circulation system, taking into
account all modes of transportation including mass
transit and non-motorized travel and relevant
components of the circulation system, including but not
limited to intersections, streets, highways and
freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass
transit?
( )( )( )()
b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management
program, including, but not limited to a level of service
standards and travel demand measures, or other
standards established by the county congestion
management agency for designated roads or
highways?
( )( )( )()
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either
an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that
result in substantial safety risks?
( )( )( )()
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature
(e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
( )( )( )()
e) Result in inadequate emergency access?( )( )( )()
f) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs
regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities,
or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of
such facilities.
( )( )( )()
Comments:
a)Implementation of the proposed project will generate 86 vehicle trips daily. The proposed
project includes the subdivision of a 6.96-acre lot for the construction of 9 single-family
residences. The ITE Trip Generation Manual estimates that each single-family residence
will generate 10 trips daily. 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 in an area that is mostly developed with street
improvements existing or included in 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)The ITE Trip Generation Manual estimates that each single-family residence will generate
7 morning and 9 evening two-way peak hour trips daily. 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. The project is in an area that is mostly
developed with all street improvements existing. The project will not negatively impact the
level of service standards on adjacent arterials. The project will be required to provide street
improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site. No impacts
are anticipated.
c)Located approximately 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 anticipated.
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.
e)The project will be designed to provide access for all emergency vehicles during
construction and upon completion of the project and will therefore not create an inadequate
emergency access. No impacts are anticipated.
f)The project is residential. Although houses are not part of the proposal, when the houses
are submitted for review, adequate parking, specifically an enclosed garage and a driveway,
in compliance with standards of the City of Rancho Cucamonga will be required. Therefore,
no impacts are anticipated.

17. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a
tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code
Section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape
that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of
the landscape, sacred place, or object with the cultural value to
a California Native American tribe, and that is:
a) Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of
Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical
resources as defined in Public Resources Code
Section 5020.1 (K)?
( )( )( )()
b) A resource determined by the lead agency, in its
discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be
significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c)
of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying
the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public
Resources Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall
consider the significance of the resource to a California
Native American tribe.
( )()( )( )
Comments:
a)The applicant has submitted a Phase I Cultural Assessment prepared by EarthTouch, Inc.
(December 2016) for the project site. The Study included an archaeological records search
by the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCIC) at CSU Fullerton of all properties
within a 1-mile radius of the project site, a paleontological records search, and a pedestrian
field survey of the project site.
Based upon information provided by the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCIC),
and a lack of permanent water within or near the subject property, cultural site sensitivity
was deemed to be low. Historic maps and aerial photographs suggest the subject property
was likely part of the Henry Albert family ranch.
The property, which was considerably larger and part of the lands owned by the Etiwanda
Colony, was planted as a fruit orchard in former years before the land was subdivided. In
summary, following a pedestrian survey of the entire parcel, no built environment or
architectural resources were found, nor were any prehistoric or historic archaeological sites
or features discovered. Near the center of the southern end of the project site, a granite
block fragment and clay brick were identified, along with the remaining eucalyptus trees.
The rock fragment and brick were likely remains from the nearby demolished residence to
the west on the adjacent parcel. Mechanical equipment may have moved the stone and
brick since the project site was tilled to eliminate weeds. Thus, no significant cultural
resources were identified in the direct project Area of Potential Effect (APE), and, therefore,
the proposed project will have no effect to historic properties. Nor will the project have a
significant impact on any cultural properties identified in the indirect or visual project APE.
b)In conformance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, a Phase I Cultural Assessment
was performed on the project site by EarthTouch, Inc. (December 2016). The study consists

of an archeological record search and field visit. The results of the records search and field
survey are discussed in section a above.
In conformance of California Senate Bill (SB) 18, a notice of the proposed project was sent
out to the appropriate tribes as recommended by the Native American Heritage Commission
on January 16, 2018. On March 29, 2019, The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians
requested that mitigation measures by incorporated in the event that archeological or
cultural resources are discovered during the grading process. These are incorporated
below.
In conformance with California Assembly Bill (AB) 52, a, notice of the proposed project was
sent to the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, the
San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians, the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, The
Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians – Kizh nation, and the Morongo Band of Mission Indians
on January 20, 2021. The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians requested that mitigation
measures be incorporated in the event that archeological or cultural resources are
discovered during the grading process. These are incorporated below. Should any
undocumented archaeological or cultural resources be discovered during grading activities,
adherence to the mitigation measures listed below will ensure that all impacts will be less
than significant.
1.) The project Applicant will be required to obtain the services of a qualified Native
American Monitor(s) during construction-related ground disturbance activities.
Ground disturbance is defined by the Tribal Representatives from the Gabrieleño
Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation as activities that include, but are not limited
to, pavement removal, pot-holing or auguring, grubbing, weed abatement, boring,
grading, excavation, drilling, and trenching, within the project area. The
monitor(s) must be approved by the Tribal Representatives and will be present
on-site during the construction phases that involve any ground disturbing
activities. The Native American Monitor(s) will complete monitoring logs on a
daily basis. The logs will provide descriptions of the daily activities, including
construction activities, locations, soil, and any cultural materials identified. The
monitor(s) shall possess Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response
(HAZWOPER) certification. In addition, the monitor(s) will be required to provide
insurance certificates, including liability insurance, for any archaeological
resource(s) encountered during grading and excavation activities pertinent to the
provisions outlined in the California Environmental Quality Act, California Public
Resources Code Division 13, Section 21083.2 (a) through (k). The on-site
monitoring shall end when the project site grading and excavation activities are
completed, or when the Tribal Representatives and monitor have indicated that
the site has a low potential for archeological resources.
2.) The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Cultural Resources Department
(SMBMI) and shall be contacted, of any pre-contact and/or post-contact cultural
resources discovered during project implementation, and be provided
information regarding the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with
regards to significance and treatment. Should the find be deemed significant, as
defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), a cultural resources Monitoring and
Treatment Plan shall be created by the archaeologist, in coordination with SMBMI,
and all subsequent finds shall be subject to this Plan. This Plan shall allow for a

3.) Any and all archaeological/cultural documents created as a part of the project
(isolate records, site records, survey reports, testing reports, etc.) shall be
supplied to the applicant and Lead Agency for dissemination to SMBMI. The Lead
Agency and/or applicant shall, in good faith, consult with SMBMI throughout the
life of the project
18.UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project:
a)Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the

to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal
needs?
( )( )( )()
g) Comply with Federal, State, and local statutes and
regulations related to solid waste?
( )( )( )()
Comments:
a)The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by
the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-1 and RP-4 treatment plants The RP-1 capacity
is sufficient to exceed the additional development within the western and southern areas of
the City. The RP-4 treatment plant has a potential ultimate capacity of 28 mgd which is
considered more than adequate to capacity to treat all increases in wastewater generation
for buildout of the General Plan. The project is required to meet the requirements of the
Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater. No impacts are
anticipated.
b)The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by
the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho
Cucamonga and RP-1 located within City of Ontario, neither of which is at capacity. The

c)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. The impact is not considered
significant.
d)The project is served by the CVWD water system. There is currently a sufficient water
supply available to the City of Rancho Cucamonga to serve this project. No impacts are
anticipated.
e)The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by
the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho
Cucamonga and RP-1 located within City of Ontario, neither of which is at capacity. No
impacts are anticipated.
f)Solid waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler who disposes
the refuse at a permitted landfill with sufficient capacity to handle the City’s solid waste
disposal needs. 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.
19.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)Certain biological resources described at the Initial Study Checklist Item 4, Biological
Resources may be adversely affected by the project. Additionally, as yet unknown cultural

resources may exist within the project area. This IS/MND incorporates mitigation that
reduces potential biological resources impacts and potential cultural resources impacts to
levels that would be less than significant.
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 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, 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. 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. Mitigation measures
contained in this Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels.
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

Aug 31). In the event construction must occur
during the nesting bird season, a qualified
biologist should conduct a nesting bird survey
no more than ten (10) days before the start of
construction. If the biologist determines that
there are active nests, appropriate buffers will
be established for each nest and no work will
occur inside the buffer of an active nest until
the fledglings are no longer dependent on the
nest or until the biologist otherwise
determines the nest is inactive. In the event
this mitigation measure is implemented, it is
expected that site development would not
result in "take" of nesting migratory birds.
2)Perform a Burrowing Owl Survey that is in
conformance with the Department of Fish and
Wildlife Staff Report on Burrowing Owl
Mitigation and submit the written report
outlining the findings to the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and
the Planning Department within 30 days of
groundbreaking activity. The Burrowing Owl
Survey shall follow the following protocol:
a)Burrowing Own Survey methodology shall be
based on Appendix D (Breeding and non-
breeding season surveys and reports) of the
CDFW Staff Report. Results of the pre-
construction survey shall be provided to CDFW
and the City. If the pre-construction survey
does not identify burrowing on the project site,
then no further mitigation is required. If
burrowing owls are found to be utilizing the
project site during the pre-construction survey,
measures shall be developed by the qualified
biologist in coordination with the CDFW to
avoid impacting occupied burrows during the
nesting period. These measures shall be
based on the most current CDFW protocols
and will at minimum include establishment of
buffer setbacks from occupied burrows and owl

monitoring. If ground-disturbing actives are
delayed or suspended for more than 30 days
after the pre-construction survey, the site shall
be resurveyed for owls.
b)During the non-breeding season from
September 1 through January 31, if burrows
are occupied by migratory and non-migratory
resident burrowing owls during a pre-
construction survey, burrow exclusion and/or
closure may be used to exclude owls from
those burrows. Burrow exclusion and/or
closure should only be conducted by a
qualified wildlife biologist in coordination with
CDFW using the most current CDFW
guidelines.
c)During the avian nesting season from February
1 through August 31, if nests are discovered,
they shall be avoided through the
establishment of an appropriate buffer setback,
as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist.
The temporary “no construction” area would
have to be maintained until the nest has
completed its cycle, as determined by a
qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle
is complete and all nestlings have fledged and
have left the nest, construction in that area may
resume.
3) A biological construction monitor (BCM) shall
be present during the days when initial ground
clearing, best maintenance practice (BMP)
installation and vegetation removal activities
are occurring. The BCM will be observe the
activities and watch for special status reptiles
such as the Coast horned lizard ((Phrynosoma
blainvillii) and Coastal whiptail (Aspidoscelis
tigris stejnegeri), and if detected will relocate
them out of harm’s way.

scheduled meeting to allow for public comment on its proposed fees. Fees are allowed to be
imposed in order to recover costs associated with the provision of specific services benefiting the
user, thereby reducing the use of General Fund monies for such purposes.
As a matter of routine, city departments revisit fees at least once per year to ensure that small
adjustments can be made over time to keep up with operational and construction costs. In
accordance with that approach, departments have once again reviewed their user and developer
impact fees to determine what adjustments should be made at this time.
This report covers requests for revisions to and establishment of fees for the Community Services,
Engineering Services, and Planning departments. The corresponding cost analysis worksheets
were placed on file in the City Clerk’s office on November 18, 2021.
ANALYSIS:
The following user fee adjustments are detailed in the proposed resolution (Attachment 1):
Community Services
The Community Services Department reviewed its fee schedule with consideration to community
need, usage and cost. Overall, the changes are modest. While the resolution repeals the previous
fee schedule and adopts this new version, most fees remain unchanged.

The following summarizes those few changes that are included in the proposed resolution:
Increased Fees:
• Various optional equipment rentals to reflect current market rates.
• Group 5 fees were added to park shelter rentals.
Modification of existing fees:
• Equipment rental fees were restructured from a flat fee to a “cost plus overhead”
model.
New Fees:
• A Partial Hall (1/3 of Event Hall- Large) has been added to Premium Hours at Central
Park.
• A Day Porter Fee was created to recover those costs associated with rentals.
• Cap was added to microphone and projector fees to accommodate a weekly rate.
In addition, various obsolete fees were deleted, and other language modified to provide
clarification and align with the Department’s practices. New language also allows the Community
Services Director to approve waivers or reduce room deposit amounts if multiple rooms are
rented, and to negotiate fees for extended periods of rental at the Playhouse. Additionally, new
language authorizes the City Manager to adjust fees as appropriate on a case-by-case basis,
including but not limited to partnerships, funerals, large revenue generating rentals, emergencies,
and other unique circumstances in order to meet community need.
Engineering Services/Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Utility (RCMU)
The Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Utility Electric Fees and Charges Schedule was established
on August 31, 2001 and last updated on December 2, 2018 by Resolution 18-126. Analysis of the
fees revealed that with advancements in meter technology, changes in business practices and
increases in contractor costs, some of the fees are no longer applicable or need to be increased
or decreased for the services being provided. The descriptions were also updated to better define
each fee. The proposed changes would recover the cost to administer the service. The following
chart summarizes the changes included in the proposed resolution:

Planning Department
In 2019, the City adopted the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood and Conservation Plan. One of
the components of that plan was an option to allow property owners in the rural conservation
areas to transfer their residential development rights in exchange for permanent conservation of
the Rural/Conservation Area property. In February 2021 the council reviewed and adopted the
framework for the TDR program. A new proposed TDR Processing Fee covers staff time used in
order to administer the TDR process for an individual property.
In 2021, Ordinance No. 982 was adopted to revise standards for industrial development. As part
of these revisions, certain new industrial projects will be required to apply for a Conditional Use
Permit that is considered by the City Council. Our current fee structure covers staff costs for up
to Planning Commission Review. Staff proposes an additional tier in the fee structure with a minor
increase that covers costs for additional staff time to prepare and present required Conditional
Use Permit or CUP modification for City Council consideration.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65090, this item was advertised fifteen (15) days in
advance of the public hearing (1/8 page ad) in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper.
FISCAL IMPACT:
By consistently examining user fees annually, these user fee updates provide additional revenue
per fiscal year to offset the City’s Costs. Overall additional revenues are anticipated to be nominal
during the current fiscal year.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This action is in keeping with the Council’s core value of intentionally embracing and anticipating
the future, by taking actions to keep fees in line with costs over time.

FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY:Jennifer Nakamura, Management Analyst II
Lori Sassoon, Deputy City Manager/Administrative Services
SUBJECT:Public Hearing to Consider First Reading of Ordinance No. 991, to be
Read by Title Only and Waive Further Reading, Adding Chapter 3.76 to
the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code to Establish a Non-Residential
Affordable Housing Development Impact Fee, and Resolution 2021-131,
Establishing Non-Residential Affordable Housing Development Impact
Fees. (ORDINANCE NO. 991) (RESOLUTION NO. 2021-131) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council continue the hearing to December 15, 2021.
BACKGROUND:
Development Impact Fees are one-time fees paid by new development to fund the cost of
providing services to serve that development. This authorization exists through the enactment of
the California Government Code sections 66001 through 66025, also known as the Mitigation Fee
Act. The Mitigation Fee Act is based on the concept that new development has to mitigate its own
impacts to the system.
ANALYSIS:
Staff has been in contact with key development stakeholders for several since early November.
Recently, one of our industrial development associations requested an additional two weeks to
engage in further analysis and discussion. Therefore, we are recommending this item be
continued to December 15, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None by this continuance.

INITIATED BY:Ivan Rojer, Fire Chief
Mike McCliman, Deputy Fire Chief
Darci Vogel, Fire Business Manager
SUBJECT:Consideration to Approve Actions Related to the Acquisition of 8234
Almond Street. (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Fire Board ratify the Board President’s execution of an agreement with
the County of San Bernardino and The Jane Anne Morgan Revocable Living Trust Dated
September 18, 2019 to purchase 8234 Almond Street (Assessor Parcel Number 1061-172-19).
BACKGROUND:
In 2015 the City and District first began discussions with Jane Morgan about the possibility of
purchasing 8234 Almond Street (APN 1061-172-19) to assist with a trailhead or trail host concept
for Cucamonga Canyon. The property is approximately 5.25 acres and is situated near
Cucamonga Canyon in the northwest portion of the City. Although not initially fruitful, the City and
District maintained regular communications. Subsequently, in August 2021, the Fire District and
County of San Bernardino met with the property owners who expressed an interest in selling the
property as soon as possible.
The San Bernardino Council of Governments, in partnership with the United States Forest
Service, has prepared a Final Draft Cucamonga Canyon Management Plan (Plan) dated October
15, 2020, of which the County is a participant. The purpose of the Plan is to provide “… direction
and guidance for the protection of the natural and cultural resources of the canyon, as well as
allowing continued public access to the area.” One of the elements of the Plan is to establish a
single consistent trail and method of parking for public use. The Plan identifies the property as
one potential option for a trailhead and parking.
The County and Fire District determined it would be agreeable to acquire and use the property
for either the potential purpose defined in the Plan or one or more of a number of other potential
public projects. The site is ideal as a base of operations for the Cucamonga Foothill Preservation
Alliance who provides volunteer services including trail guides, trail information and trail cleanup
in Cucamonga Canyon. Additionally, the site is uniquely situated to serve as a base of operations
for a fire or public safety facility, or during an emergency, because of its location and proximity to
Cucamonga Canyon. As such, it was determined that the County would contribute to this
endeavor by purchasing the property and then conveying it to the Fire District at no purchase
price. The Fire District will be responsible for carrying out any future projects and be solely
responsible for future costs.

ANALYSIS:
The Fire District requested the County, through the County’s Real Estate Services Department
(RESD), take the lead on drafting an agreement and managing the transaction. RESD reviewed
the requested purchase price for the property and determined that it is reasonable. The
acquisition and future use of this property for a public purpose was reviewed pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined to be categorically exempt from
further environmental review in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
As provided above, the property is identified as one potential site for a trailhead and parking lot
in the Plan, but the Fire District has not prepared plans for such uses or made any decision to use
the property for such purposes, and the Fire District is not required to use the property for such
purposes pursuant to this Agreement. Upon Fire District’s acquisition of the property from the
County, the Fire District shall use the property for such public purposes as may be determined by
the Fire District in its sole discretion consistent with Government Code section 26227. If the Fire
District determines in its sole discretion to develop or make any improvements to the property,
the Fire District shall comply with CEQA at such time as the plans for the use and development
of the property are determined by the Fire District.
In the event that (a) no improvements or development of the property for such public purposes
are commenced within 24 months after the date of the conveyance of the property to the Fire
District, or (b) the property is used for purposes other than supporting the social needs of the
County consistent with Government Code section 26227, or (c) the Fire District sells, leases or
otherwise conveys, or attempts to sell, lease or otherwise convey, the property to another person
or entity prior to the completion of the development or improvement of the property for the
purposes required herein, title to the property shall automatically revert from the Fire District to
the County for no consideration, without any action required on the part of County, and Fire District
shall promptly and duly execute, notarize, and deliver to County a quitclaim deed conveying to
County all right, title and interest of Fire District in the property.
Given the need to complete the sale of the property by December 31, 2021, the Board President
executed the agreement with the County on November 15, 2021. It is recommended that the Fire
Board ratify these actions. The agreement is on file with the City Clerk.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact at this time as the County is purchasing the property and then conveying
it to the Fire District at no cost. The Fire District will be responsible for future improvements to this
property which will be considered as part of the FY 2022-23 budget process.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses the City Council’s core value of promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy
community for all, as well as intentionally embracing and anticipating the future. This item also
incorporates working together cooperatively and respectfully with stakeholders and other
organizations.

QUESTIONS?
DATE:December 1, 2021
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY:Sean McPherson, AICP, Senior Planner
SUBJECT:Receive Presentation on Senate Bill 9 and Provide Direction to Staff on
Responding to Upcoming SB 9 Regulations. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the report and provide direction to staff
on regulations to implement SB 9.
BACKGROUND:
In response to the housing shortage and affordability crisis, on September 16, 2021, Governor
Gavin Newsom signed into law Senate Bill (SB) 9. SB 9, which takes effect January 1, 2022, req
uires the ministerial approval of two types of projects within single-family residential zones: two-
lot subdivisions (known as “Urban Lot Splits”), and residential development projects of up
to 2 units per lot (“Two- Unit Projects”), subject to certain qualifying criteria. Because SB 9
requires that these applications be approved on a ministerial basis, the City cannot hold public
hearings or consider subjective factors, such as aesthetics and neighborhood character, for
qualifying applications which meet basic criteria. In short, this legislation makes it possible for
there to be up to 4 units constructed on a single-family zoned lot where only one single family
residence previously existed, inclusive of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) and Junior Accessory
Dwelling Units (JADU).
ANALYSIS:
Applicant-property owners now can further develop single-family residential lots by applying for
an Urban Lot Split, a Two-Unit Project, or both an Urban Lot Split and Two-Unit Project, subject
to certain qualifying criteria and the project meeting specific standards as discussed below:
Qualifying Criteria and Standards for Urban Lot Splits:
Proposed adjacent or connected structures must meet building code
safety standards and are sufficient to allow separate conveyance.
The applicant-owner must sign an affidavit stating that the owner intends to occupy one of
the housing units as the owner’s principal residence for at least 3 years following the lot
split. Community land trusts and qualified nonprofit corporations are exempt.
No other owner-occupancy requirement is allowed.
The minimum lot size of the new parcels is 1,200 square feet, and the new lots must be
approximately equal in size with no lot being less than 40 percent of the original lot size.
For example, if an existing 10,000 square foot lot is subdivided under SB 9, the maximum
Page 167
Page 2
1
0
3
0
split could be 6,000 square feet for one new resultant lot and 4,000 square feet for the
other resultant lot.
The City cannot require:
o Dedication of right of way
o Construction of offsite improvements
o Correction of nonconforming zoning conditions
The City may require, as conditions of approval:
o Easements for public services and facilities
o Access to the public right-of-way
o Other objective development standards as described below
For Two-Unit Projects:
For units connected to an on-site septic system, the City may require a percolation
test completed within the last 5 years or, if the percolation test has been recertified,
within the last 10 years.
Objective development standards as described below.
In addition, SB 9 establishes general provisions which are applicable for BOTH scenarios:
Zoning – Parcels must be zoned single-family residential and be located within a city any
part of which includes an “Urban Cluster” or “Urbanized Area“ as defined by the US
Census Bureau. Rancho Cucamonga is located within an Urban Cluster, thus single-
family residential zones within the City are subject to the provisions of SB 9 which include
the Very Low, Low, Open Space and Hillside Residential zoning districts.
Standards – The City may impose objective zoning and subdivision standards, provided
such objective standards do not prevent the construction of either of the two units being
less than 800 square feet in floor area.
Setbacks -
No setbacks are required for an existing structure or a structure constructed within the f
ootprint of the original structure. In other circumstances, the City may require four-
foot side and rear yard setbacks. The City can apply its own objective front setback,
provided that the front setback does not prevent the development of at least two units of
at least 800 square feet each.
Parking – One off-street parking space per unit may be required, unless the project is
within a half-mile walking distance of a high-quality transit corridor or a major transit stop
or, within one block of car share.
Short term rentals - Any unit created as a result will not be used for short-term rentals and
must be rented for a term longer than 30 days.
Urban Lot Split AND Two-Unit Project - SB 9 allows for the simultaneous application of
both an urban Lot Split and Two-Unit project. In this scenario, no Accessory Dwelling Units
(ADU) or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU) may be permitted to be constructed.
Restrictions, Limitations and Reporting Obligations: While SB 9 limits the City’s ability to enact
discretionary authority, the legislation establishes certain limitations on new development. For
example:
Affordable and Rental Housing Restrictions - The Urban Lot Split or Two-Unit Project shall
not involve the demolition or alteration of affordable housing, rent-controlled housing,
housing that was withdrawn from the rental market within the last 15 years or housing
occupied by a tenant (market-rate or affordable) in the past 3 years.
Lot Locations – Subject parcels cannot be within the following areas:
o Designated historic district / a historic landmark
Page 168
Page 3
1
0
3
0
o Wetlands
o Farmland
o Hazardous waste site (unless the site has been cleared for residential use/mixed-
use by the State – Public Health Department, Water Resources Control Board, or
Toxic Substance Control)
o Earthquake fault zones (unless the development complies with applicable seismic
protection building code standards)
o Lands under conservation easement
o Habitat for protected species
o FEMA Flood Plain (unless the site is subject to a FEMA map revision, or if the state
meets requirements for minimum flood plain management criteria)
o High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (unless the site has been excluded from the
hazard zone by the City or if the proposed project incorporates fire hazard
mitigations measures pursuant to certain building and fire code standards.
Housing Element Report – The City must report the number of units developed pursuant
to SB 9’s authority in its annual housing element report. The City must report the number
of applications for urban lot splits in its annual housing element report.
SB 9 and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): Because applications subject to SB
9 are approved ministerially, CEQA does not apply, and the bill creates a new statutory
exemption for an ordinance adopted to implement SB 9.
Potential Impact to Rancho Cucamonga: In order to determine the potential impact that SB 9 may
have upon the City of Rancho Cucamonga, staff analyzed the number of existing single-family
residential zoned parcels in the City. According to the City’s ArcGIS data, there are approximately
23,658 parcels within Rancho Cucamonga between the Very Low, Low, Open Space and Hillside
Residential zoning district which are eligible for development under SB 9 under either an Urban
Lot Split or a Two Unit Project or both. The table below details the breakdown of the location of
these parcels by Planning Communities as described in the pending PlanRC General Plan.
Planning
Communities
Approximate Number of SB
9 Eligible Parcels (Lot Split
or Two Unit Project)
Alta Loma 11,864
Central North 1,198
Cucamonga 5,275
Eastside 105
Etiwanda 4,574
Red Hill 642
Totals 23,658
As discussed above, certain restrictions and limitations apply to single-family residential zoned
parcels which prevent further development under SB 9. For example, parcels which are improved
with historic landmarks are not eligible for further development under SB 9. Also, parcels located
within certain environmentally sensitive areas such wetlands and farmlands are prohibited from
accommodating further development under SB 9. Further, properties located within Very High
Fire Severity Zones (VHFSZ) are also prohibited from further developing under SB 9 unless the
applicant-owner meets a strict set of standards for development. Similar exceptions are applicable

to Earthquake Fault Zones, FEMA Flood Plains, and Hazardous Waste Sites. Staff notes that
there are a minor number of parcels within the fault zones and flood plain within the City. So, while
these parcels could technically be developed under SB 9, there would generally be additional
regulations with which applicants and property owners would have to comply. Beyond this, there
are also practical and financial factors which applicants and property owners must consider. For
example, while a lot may technically be eligible for a 50/50 or 60/40 Urban Lot Split, the location
of existing structures and buildings on a property might complicate a lot split or render a lot split
impractical or financially infeasible. For example, an existing single-family residence which may
be located in the center of a lot may be required to be demolished so that an applicant can achieve
the maximum 60/40 lot split. The cost of demolishing a single-family home just to accommodate
a lot split may be impractical or infeasible for a property owner or applicant. Thus, the numbers
provided in this report represent an approximate “worst-case scenario” in terms of the number of
lots that could be further developed under SB 9.
It is also important to note that certain properties may be prohibited from further developing due
to an inability to meet certain building code requirements. For example, the City has adopted a
Local Agency Management Plan (LAMP) which regulates onsite water treatment systems (i.e.,
septic systems). Rancho Cucamonga’s LAMP limits the size of parcels on septic systems which
can be subdivided to 20,000 square feet. Any lot less than 20,000 square feet which is on a septic
system pursuant to Rancho Cucamonga’s LAMP is ineligible to further subdivide that parcel under
SB 9, but may be able to accommodate a Two Unit Project.
Thus, while the total number of parcels affected by SB 9 is anticipated to be approximately 23,658,
the number of parcels which may ultimately be developed under SB 9 could be lower.
Policy and Development Code Considerations: Considering the number of parcels which may be
eligible for development under SB 9, and especially considering any impact this new development
may have upon existing single-family residential neighborhoods within Rancho Cucamonga, staff
is exploring potential regulations which may be implemented in order to ensure that SB 9 is
implemented in an appropriate and legally defensible manner that carefully considers public
health, safety and welfare in the City.
Potentially, development under SB 9 could have the potential to cause specific adverse impacts,
such as additional traffic which could exacerbate existing access and emergency response
constraints within certain neighborhoods where access, circulation and parking may be deficient
or limited (i.e., dead-end streets within Very High Fire Severity Zones, neighborhoods where
roads do not meet minimum width standards, etc.). Consequently, implementing SB 9 regulations
in areas such as these could negatively affect the health, safety and welfare of the public.
Further, SB 9 could also impact the availability of services in existing single-family residential
neighborhoods by facilitating the creation of lots and construction of units which are inconsistent
with utilities in existing single-family residential neighborhoods. It is critical that the City prevent
any public health and safety impacts that may arise under this new requirement. Maintaining the
quality, livability and safety of existing single-family residential neighborhoods throughout the City
is a critically important community objective, as evidenced by both the 2010 General Plan and the
pending PlanRC General Plan.
To address such concerns, staff recommends that the City Council consider approving further
research into the following areas, subject of course to compliance with the provisions of SB 9:
Objective Standards for Zoning: Consider adopting objective zoning standards to ensure
Page 170

0
that SB 9 development does not adversely impact existing single-family residential
neighborhoods. For example, the City could require that structures have a maximum
square footage with a minimum width so that they give an appearance of a standard
single-family structure as viewed from the street. Further, the City could also require that
all other structures built pursuant to SB 9 be screened from the street, that buildings be
no taller than one story, and that basements, when proposed, be counted in the square
footage of the structure.
Objective Standards for Subdivisions: Regarding subdivisions, and to minimize impacts to
existing single-family residential neighborhoods, the City could consider requiring that new
lot lines be parallel to the street and that access to the back of lots be solely from alleys,
except for properties which have no alleys. Again, the configuration of existing structures
on a lot may be a practical matter for applicants and property owners, as Urban Lot Splits
may necessitate the demolition of an existing single-family home which may be impractical
for many individuals.
Historic District: SB 9 does not apply to properties located within historic districts and
although Rancho Cucamonga is not an old city, we do have areas of historic significance
which should be carefully studied to determine if further protections are appropriate.
Very High Fire Severity Zones: SB 9 prohibits urban lot splits and two-unit development
within Very High Fire Severity Zones, unless certain standards are met. Staff notes that
additional development within Very High Fire Severity Zones could result in impacts to the
public health, safety and welfare, particularly in those areas within Very High Fire Severity
Zones where parking and access may be limited, or roadways may be deficient in meeting
current standards. To address these concerns, the City could consider implementing
additional regulations relative to SB development within Very High Fire Severity Zones.
Public Health and Safety Considerations: The City may deny a proposed SB 9
development, including subdivisions, provided that the building official makes certain
findings that the project would have specific adverse impacts which cannot be mitigated.
An example of this could be that utilities in certain neighborhoods may not be sized
properly for multi-family development. In the event that it is found that additional SB 9 units
were to cause a neighborhood to exceed utility capacity, this could prohibit additional units
within certain neighborhoods as this might be an impact that could not be mitigated. In
this case, the City might consider researching where existing neighborhoods may be at,
or near, utility capacity and consider prohibiting SB 9 development in these areas.
SB 9 Units as Affordable Housing: Both the 2010 General Plan and pending PlanRC
General Plan promote the development of a variety of housing types for the purposes of
facilitating the creation of affordable housing. As such, the City may consider adopting an
inclusionary housing ordinance which requires that SB 9 units be deed restricted as
affordable units to further the important local and statewide goals of increasing the
availability of affordable housing.
Next Steps: Upon receiving direction from the City Council, staff intends to research the above
considerations, as well as any other offered by Council, and return to the Council sometime in the
first quarter of 2022 with Development Code Amendments which maintain compliance with SB 9
regulations, but which also appropriately protect the public health, safety and welfare of the City’s
high quality residential neighborhoods.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. Moving forward, the implementation of SB
9 regulations could result in fiscal impacts associated with additional dwelling units. There could
be property tax implications as well from the creation of additional lots and residential housing
stock.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
SB 9 is a significant piece of legislation which will soon affect communities throughout California
and pose significant regulatory and policy challenges at the local level. Staff’s goal is to regulate
and administer SB 9 development while minimizing any adverse impact to the public health, safety
and welfare of the community. As such, staff is fulfilling the City Council’s core value of “actively
seeking and respectfully considering all public input” by soliciting input and direction from the City
Council.

Senate Bill 9 (SB 9)
Project Background
•September 16,2021 –Governor Newsom signs into law SB 9,which
requires the ministerial approval of two types of projects within single-
family residential zones:Urban Lot Splits and Two -Unit Projects;
•These projects are now permitted,subject to certain criteria,without
the need for public hearings and the City cannot consider subjective
factors such as aesthetics and neighborhoods character;
•January 1,2022 –SB 9 becomes effective.
Analysis
SB 9 projects are subject to certain qualifying criteria and standards for UrbanLotSplitsandTwo-Unit Projects:
•Structures must meet building code safety standards;
•Applicant-Owner Affidavit;
•Minimum lot size of 1,200 square feet,and maximum of 60/40 split;
•For units on septic systems,the City may require percolation tests;
•Project must meet objective design standards i.e.setbacks).
Other general provisions include:
•Zoning –parcels must be zoned single-family residential;
•Standards –the City may impose objective zoning and subdivision standards solongasthestandardspermitaunitofatleast800squarefeetinsize;
•Parking –One off-street parking space per unit may be required,unless theprojectiswithinahigh-quality transit corridor or major transit stop;
•Short-term rentals –SB 9 units cannot be used for short-term rentals ;minimum rental period must be longer than 30 days.
Restrictions and Limitations
Certain restrictions and limitations apply with the application of SB 9. For example:
•Historic landmarks are not eligible for further development under SB 9;
•Properties located within Very High Fire Severity Zones (VHFSZ) are also prohibited from further developing under SB 9 unless the applicant-owner meets a strict set of standards for development. Similar exceptions are applicable to Earthquake Fault Zones, FEMA Flood Plains, and Hazardous Waste Sites.
•It is also important to note that certain properties may be prohibited from further developing due to an inability to meet certain building code requirements.

SUBJECT:Update Regarding State Redistricting by the California Redistricting
Commission and its Potential Impacts on Rancho Cucamonga’s
Representation in Congress and in the California State Legislature.
(CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council urge all residents to support the City’s position to maintain
the City of Rancho Cucamonga entirely under one Congressional, one State Assembly, and one
State Senate district, within San Bernardino County.
BACKGROUND:
California must redraw the boundaries of its Congressional, State Senate, and State Assembly
districts every ten years to reflect the updated census population data. California voters
authorized the creation of the Commission when they passed the VOTERS FIRST Act in 2008. It
authorized the Commission to draw the new district lines in conformity with strict, nonpartisan
rules designed to create districts of relatively equal population that will provide fair representation
for all Californians.
The Commission holds public hearings and accepts public comment. After hearing from the public
and drawing the maps for the Congressional districts, the State Senate and Assembly districts,
and the Board of Equalization districts, the Commission must vote on the new maps to be used
for the next decade, with the goal of finalizing maps by the end of this calendar year.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed maps released by the Commission unnecessarily bifurcate the City of Rancho
Cucamonga. Unfortunately, the Northwest portion of Rancho Cucamonga is disenfranchised from
effective representation with the rest of the City by being lumped into separate Congressional
and State Assembly districts that are almost totally in Los Angeles County. For the State Senate,
Rancho Cucamonga is split in half, over two districts, with the northern portion being part of the
distant High Desert region of San Bernardino County.
The affected Rancho Cucamonga residents have strong ties and a strong sense of identity with
the rest of the Rancho Cucamonga community and the Inland Valley. There are virtually no
commonalities between our residents and those of Los Angeles County and the remote mountain
and desert areas of San Bernardino County, and the proposed Congressional, State Assembly

and State Senate District Maps needlessly split our community and our neighborhoods, effectively
nullifying their voices and opportunity for strong representation.
The City has already submitted a letter to the Commission urging them to revise the proposed
Congressional, State Assembly and State Senate District Maps to keep Rancho Cucamonga
whole and entirely within San Bernardino County. City staff will share a presentation at the City
Council meeting to provide additional details regarding the proposed maps, the community
information, and action efforts to keep Rancho Cucamonga whole.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses City Core Values, “Providing and nurturing a high quality of life for all”, and
“Equitable prosperity for all” because keeping Rancho Cucamonga whole aims to achieve these
values by maintaining strong representation.

California Citizens Redistricting Commission
721 Capitol Mall, Suite 260
Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: Proposed Congressional, State Assembly, and State Senate District Maps for the City of
Rancho Cucamonga
Dear Members of the California Redistricting Commission:
On behalf of the over 177,000 citizens of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, I strongly urge the California
Citizens Redistricting Commission (Commission) to reconsider its proposed Congressional, State
Assembly, and State Senate District Maps and maintain the City of Rancho Cucamonga entirely under
one Congressional, one State Assembly and one State Senate district., within San Bernardino County.
The proposed maps released by the Commission show that a portion of Rancho Cucamonga will be
under the VCD_RIASB_11, VAD_RCFR_1107 and VSD_POF_1107 respectively. Unfortunately, the
Northwest portion of Rancho Cucamonga (bordered by Carnelian Avenue and the 210 freeway) which
includes approximately 52,846 residents of Rancho Cucamonga’s population, is disenfranchised from
effective representation with the rest of Rancho Cucamonga by being lumped into separate
Congressional and State Assembly districts that are almost totally in Los Angeles County. For the State
Senate, Rancho Cucamonga is split in half over two districts, with the northern portion being part of the
distant High Desert region of San Bernardino County. Our concerns with the proposed District Maps
include:
• VCD-CD210_1107 Congressional District Map
o It contains the northwest section of Rancho Cucamonga and neighboring communities of
Upland and San Antonio Heights (both in San Bernardino County). It also includes Los
Angeles County communities of Claremont, La Verne, San Dimas, Monrovia, San Marino,
Temple City, Pasadena, Alta Dena, and La Canada Flintridge and San Bernardino County
mountain communities of Wrightwood and Lytle Creek. Some of these communities,
particularly in Los Angeles County, are more than 35 miles from Rancho Cucamonga and
have no commonality or shared interest with the city. Also, the nature of the district as drawn
will result in a primary focus in Los Angeles County with the residents of San Bernardino
County having little voice or ability to influence policy.
• VAD_210_1107 State Assembly District
o It contains the northwest section of Rancho Cucamonga and neighboring communities of
Upland and San Antonio Heights (both in San Bernardino County), it also includes Los
Angeles County communities of Claremont, La Verne, San Dimas, Monrovia. Pasadena, and
Alta Dena and San Bernardino County mountain communities of Wrightwood, Crestline, Lake
Arrowhead, and San Bernardino. Some of these communities, particularly in Los Angeles
County, are more than 35 miles from Rancho Cucamonga and have no commonality or
shared interest with the city. This map includes Foothill and non-Foothill communities with
true mountain communities and the divergence of interests, including how the National Forest
is accessed and used, camping, fire management and transportation issues is extreme and
will inevitably result in widely disparate opinions on these issues, making effective
representation very difficult.

• VSD_ANTVICVAL_1107 State Senate District
o It contains the northern portion of Rancho Cucamonga and includes the High Desert
communities of Lytle Creek, Adelanto, Victorville, Hesperia, Barstow, Fort Irwin, Baker, Silver
Lakes, and Pinon Hills. Some of these communities are more than 70 miles from Rancho
Cucamonga and have virtually no commonality or shared interests with the city. The High
Desert and the West Valley area of Rancho Cucamonga are extraordinarily different. One is
more rural, the other is urban/suburban. One has much heavier industrial and commercial
and the other is predominantly more open space and larger lots with farming and ranching.
Clearly, the proposed Draft Maps do not meet the Commission’s stated criteria to respect counties, cities,
communities of interest, and neighborhoods, where possible. In fact, the proposed Draft Maps bifurcate
a substantial and well-established portion of our community and place it in with either a half-dozen
prominent Los Angeles County communities or High Desert communities. The voices of our 52,846
residents that live in the Northwest area will be completely drowned out by the 713,180 voices in the
proposed Congressional and Assembly Districts that overwhelmingly reside in Los Angeles County. For
the Senate District, the voices of our 84,924 residents that live in the northern area will be completely
drowned out by the 905,123 voices in the proposed Senate District that reside in the High Desert
communities that extends all the way to the state line.
The affected Rancho Cucamonga residents share little or no community interests with these communities
located in Los Angeles County and minimal interests with the desert and mountain areas of San
Bernardino County, particularly the remote areas near the state line. All municipal services for this area,
including library, community services, community development, animal control, and others are provided
by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Law enforcement services are provided through a contract with the
San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and fire and emergency response is provided by the
Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District.
The affected Rancho Cucamonga residents have strong ties and a strong sense of identity with the rest
of the Rancho Cucamonga community and the Inland Valley. There are historical ties and communities
of interest and the City has historically been all or mostly in one Senate, Assembly or Congre ssional
district. There are virtually no commonalities between our residents and those of Los Angeles County
and the remote mountain and desert areas of San Bernardino County, and the proposed Congressional,
State Assembly and Senate District Maps needlessly split our community and our neighborhoods,
effectively nullifying their voices and opportunity for strong representation. Rancho Cucamonga is a
stable community, with modest infill population growth, and there is no logical reason to bifurcate the
entire City needlessly along a freeway corridor that didn’t even get built until 20 years after the City’s
incorporation.
For these reasons, we respectfully request that the Commission keep Rancho Cucamonga whole and
REVISE the Proposed Congressional, State Assembly and Senate District Maps to include the ENTIRE
City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to call (909) 774-2006 if you require any further
information or have any questions.
Sincerely,
L. Dennis Michael
