AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EASTVALE,

LOCATED GENERALLY ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF SCHOLAR WAY AND
CITRUS AVENUE, ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 152-050-050.
The City Council of the City of Eastvale does hereby ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. The proposed project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed project requires the adoption of a Negative Declaration pursuant to Section 15074
(Article 6) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
The City Council, in light of the whole record before it, including but not limited to the City's local
CEQA Guidelines and Thresholds of Significance, the proposed Negative Declaration, and
documents incorporated therein by reference, any comments received during the public review
process, any responses provided, and other substantial evidence (within the meaning of Public
Resources Code Sections 21080(e) and 21082.2) within the record and/or provided at the public
hearing, hereby finds and determines as follows:
Review Period: That the City has provided the public review period for the Negative Declaration
for the duration required under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15073 and 15105.
Compliance with Law: That the Negative Declaration was prepared, processed, and noticed in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section
21000 et seq.), the CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.),
and the local CEQA Guidelines and Thresholds of Significance adopted by the City of Eastvale.
Independent Judgment: That the Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and
analysis of the City of Eastvale.
No Significant Effect: The project submitted by the applicant does not result in any potential
significant effects on the environment as identified in the Negative Declaration. Therefore, the
City Council finds that there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record, that the
project will have a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to the City of Eastvale Zoning Code, the City Council makes the finding
below pertaining to the Change of Zone No. PLN19-20021.
Finding 1: The proposed Change of Zone is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the
General Plan.
Evidence: The current zoning for the project is Heavy Agriculture (A-2-10), which allows limited
residential uses that includes single family dwellings and mobile homes. The current A-2-10 zone
would not be consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designation of High Density
Residential (HDR). However, the proposed General Residential (R-3) zone district allows the
development of multi-family residential dwellings, which would be consistent with the intensity
