RECITALS. 1. Pursuant to the Cortese/Knox Local Government Reorganization Act of 1985 (Government Code Section 56000), the City of Rancho Cucamonga (the"City') is conducting annexation proceedings to consider the proposed annexation of territory described in Exhibits "A" and "A-1" attached hereto and expressly incorporated herein and made a part of this resolution by this reference. 2. On September 20, 2000,the Local Agency Formation Commission of the County of San Bernardino reviewed the proposed annexation and adopted Resolution No. 2686 making certain determinations regarding the above-described annexation, approving the annexation, and authorizing the City to order the same. 3. On October 18, 2000, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed annexation application. 4. The territory described in Exhibits"A"and"A-1"(the"Territory')is located within and consistent with the established sphere of influence of the City and is contiguous with current City limits. 5. The annexation of the Territory represents a logical extension of the City's boundaries and urban services. 6. The Board of Supervisors of the County (the "Board") previously certified an Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") for the University/Crest Development Project (the "Original University Project") in 1991 (SCH #88082915). The Original University Project was never constructed. Subsequent to the 1991 approval,a portion of the Original University Project was purchased,and in 1998 the new owners made application to the Board for approval of the Revised University Project (the "Revised University Project"), severing the University portion from the Crest portion of the Original University Project. The Board was presented with the Revised University Project and certified a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report("SEIR")on October 26, 1999 (SCH#98121091). In its Statement of Facts, Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations, dated October 26, 1999, the Board found that the SEIR had been prepared to evaluate the potential environmental effects that would result from the development of the proposed modifications to the Revised University Project in accordance with the requirements of both the California Environmental Quality Act, as amended, ("CEQA")and the State CEQA Guidelines (the"Guidelines"). No judicial determination to the contrary has been issued. Resolution No. 00-221 Page 2 of 13 7. The Revised University Project will be located within a portion of the Territory being annexed and represents the maximum development density permitted under the zoning that the City proposes for the Territory. As a responsible agency under CEQA, the City reviewed the SEIR for the Revised University Project and determined that certain design, construction timing, circulation issues, and zoning concerns created by the development of the Revised University Project were not adequately addressed in the SEIR. The City prepared an addendum to the SEIR (the "Addendum'), pursuant to Sections 15096 and 15164 of the Guidelines,to more thoroughly analyze these concerns. On August 16, 2000, the City adopted Resolution No. 00-161 certifying that the City independently considered the environmental effects of the Project as shown in the EIR,the SEIR, and the addendum. In its Statement of Facts, Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations, dated October 26, 1999, the City Council found that the EIR, the SEIR, and the addendum had been prepared to evaluate the potential environmental effects that would result from the development of the proposed modifications to the Revised University Project in accordance with the requirements of both the California Environmental Quality Act, as amended, ("CEQA")and the State CEQA Guidelines (the"Guidelines"). The City's Statement of Overriding Considerations furtherfound that the benefits of the Revised University Project outweighed the unavoidable adverse environmental effects of the project. No judicial determination to the contrary has been issued. 8. In October of 1997,the Etiwanda School District(the"School District")adopted a Negative Declaration in conjunction with the acquisition of a future school site within a portion of the Territory being annexed (the "Intermediate School Property'). 9. In June of 2000, the Etiwanda School District (the "School District") adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration in conjunction with its review and approval of plans to construct an Elementary School within a portion of the Territory being annexed (the "Elementary School Project"). 10. The City Council of the City previously certified an EIR for the Etiwanda North Specific Plan ("ENSP") in 1992 (SCH #89012314). The ENSP is a comprehensive plan to guide the development of over 6400 acres of land, including the 500 acres comprising the Territory. The ENSP EIR analyzed the potential environmental effects that would result from the development of the Territory in conformance with the ENSP and determined that with the mitigation measures proposed the impacts on the environment would be less than significant. 11. The City Council has determined annexation of the Territory is consistent with the ENSP. The City Council has further determined that the Revised University Project and the School Project are both consistent with the zoning proposed for the annexed Territory. 12.The City Council has determined that the annexation of the Territory to the City would be beneficial to the public purposes of the City, in that the properties will provide for the development in a manner consistent with the City's General Plan and with related development. Resolution No. 00-221 Page 3 of 13 13. Regular County assessment roles are to be used for tax purposes. 14.The subject 504+/- acre-property is legally uninhabited. 15.All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this resolution have occurred. 16.The affected territory will be taxed for existing general bonded indebtedness and contractual obligations of the City.

The City Council hereby makes the following findings in regard to the environmental documents: a. The City, as the lead agency under CEQA for the annexation of the Territory, has reviewed the previous environmental documents prepared in conjunction with the previous projects to analyze the potential environmental effects of the annexation. b.

The City Council furtherfinds that the mitigation measures set forth in the previous environmental documents are adequate to address the effects the annexation will have on the environment and will ensure that the annexation will result in a less than significant impact on the environment. c. The City Council expressly finds that the annexation is consistent with the projects reviewed in the previous environmental documents and does not create different or additional environmental effects beyond the impacts previously identified. d. The previous environmental documents have been completed and reviewed in full compliance with CEQA. e. The previous environmental documents collectively reflect the City Council's independent judgment and analysis. 5. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth in this Resolution, this Council hereby resolves that the territory described in Exhibits"A"and"A-1" is annexed, and directs the City Clerk to transmit a certified copy of this resolution with applicable fees required by Section 54902.5 of the Government Code to the Executive Officer of the Local Agency Formation Commission of the County of San Bernardino.

The subject 500+/-acre annexation area is legally uninhabited,as certified by the County Registrar of Voters office. The area is within the sphere of influence of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. I i2. The County Assessor has determined that the assessed value of land and improvements for privately- owned parcels within the annexation area is$5,062,857. Because of the significant amount of exempt properties within the annexation area,the Assessor was requested to assign values to parcels owned by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District,the Edison Company,the Cucamonga County Water District,CALTRANS,the Metropolitan Water District,the Cucamonga Public Facilities Corporation,and the Etiwanda School District. Together,those properties have been valued at$5,033,700. Thus,the total assessed value of the annexation area for protest purposes at the conducting authority level is$10,096,557. 3. Notice of this hearing has been advertised as required by law through publication in The Sun and the Daily Bulletin,newspapers of general circulation in the area. 4. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has pre-zoned the annexation area for low density residential uses(L), Neighborhood Commercial(NC),General Commercial(GC),Utility Corridor(UC),and Flood Control/Riparian(FC). These designations conform with the General Plan of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, 5. The Commission's Environmental Consultant independently prepared an Initial Study for the Commission's use as a CEQA responsible agency to determine that no significant changes or new significant impacts have occurred since the preparation and adoption of the following documents which address the environmental impacts from developing the 500+/-acre annexation area in accordance with General Plan designations. Prepared by the County of San Bernardino: Final Environmental Impact Report,University/Crest Project PUD No.W121-49,August, 1989(State Clearinghouse#88082915);Addendum to Final Environmental Impact Report,University/Crest Project PUD No.W121-49,May, 1991 (State Clearinghouse#88082915);Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report,Revised University Project,April, 1999(State Clearinghouse#98121091);and Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report,Revised University Project,July, 1999(State Clearinghouse#98121091); Prepared by the Etiwanda School District: Negative Declaration,Acquisition of Future School Site, October, 1997;and Negative Declaration,Construction of Intermediate School,June,2000; Prepared by the City of Rancho Cucamonga: Etiwanda North Specific Plan,April, 1992;Draft Environmental Impact Report,Etiwanda North Specific Plan,May, 1991 (State Clearinghouse #89012314);Program Environmental Impact Report Part 11,Etiwanda North Specific Plan,April, 1992 (State Clearinghouse#89012314);and Initial Study/Addendum,Revised University Project,Supplemental Environmental Impact Report,June,2000; 3 Resolution No. 00-221 Page 12 of 13 RESOLUTION NO.2686 Copies of the applicable environmental review documents have been previously provided to the Commission. The Commission certifies it has reviewed and considered the Initial Study prepared by its Environmental Consultant,the County and City's Environmental Impact Reports(EIAs),as listed above, and the effects outlined therein,the Etiwanda School District's Negative Declarations and environmental effects as outlined in the Initial Studies,which indicate that approval of the acquisition/development of the school site will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment,and the City's Initial Study/Addendum,and finds that they are adequate for its use as a CEQA responsible agency. The Commission further finds that it does not intend to adopt alternatives or mitigation measures for this project.The Commission hereby acknowledges the mitigation measures and mitigation monitoring plans contained in the County and City's EIRs and finds that no additional feasible alternatives or mitigation measures have been identified. The Commission finds that all changes,alterations,and mitigation measures are within the responsibility andjurisdiction of the City and other agencies,not the Commission. The Commission finds that it is the responsibility of the City and the Etiwanda School District to oversee and implement these measures and the mitigation monitoring plans. The Commission hereby adopts the Candidate Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations regarding the environmental effects of the annexation,a copy of which is available for review in the office of the LAFCO Clerk. The Commission finds that all feasible changes or alterations have been incorporated into the project;that these changes are the responsibility of the City and other agencies identified in the Candidate Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and the EIRs;and that specific economic,social or other considerations make infeasible adoption of the alternatives identified in the EIRs. The Commission,as a responsible agency,notes that this proposal is exempt from Department of Fish and Game fees because the filing fee was the responsibility of the City,as the lead agency. The Commission directs its Clerk to file a Notice of Determination within five(5)working days with the San Bernardino County Clerk of the Board of Supervisors 6. The local agencies currently serving the area are: County of San Bernardino,Metropolitan Water District of Southern California,Inland Empire West Resource Conservation District,Inland Empire Utilities Agency(IEUA),IEUA Mid-Valley area and Improvement District C,Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District(City subsidiary),Cucamonga County Water District(CCWD),CCWD Improvement Districts 3, 5,6,and 1963-1,County Service Area 70(Countywide),and County Service Area 70,Improvement Zone OS-1 (open space). County Service Area 70 and County Service Area 70,Improvement Zone OS-1 will be detached from the annexation area upon successful completion of the annexation pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Section 25210.90. None of the other agencies will be affected by this proposal. 7. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has submitted a plan for the provision of its municipal services which indicates that the City can maintain and/or improve the level and range of services that are currently available to the area to be annexed. The Plan for Services has been reviewed and compared with the standards established by the Commission. The Commission finds that such Plan conforms with those adopted standards. 8. The annexation area can benefit from the extension of services,as evidenced by the Plan for Services. 4 Resolution No. 00-221 Page 13 of 13 I RESOLUTION NO.2686 9.
