DU = Dwelling Units, SF = Square Feet; P/DU = Per Dwelling Unit; P/1,000 SF = Per 1,000 Square Feet 2 Parking demand calculated using rates obtained from the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 17.64.050 ‐ "Number of parking spaces required." 3Hourly utilization rates obtained from the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Shared Parking , 3rd Edition. 4 The project will be constructing 29 retail exclusive parking spaces along the new Frontage Drive on Foothill Boulevard. Therefore, those spaces have been subtracted from the overall parking requirement for the retail component of the Project at the Site. 5Parking demand calculated based on the California Law 65915‐65918 'Density Bonuses and Other Initiatives.' The parking requirement includes disability and guest parking. 6As per the ULI Shared Parking , the utilization factor for the category “Resident reserved” is 100 percent. Therefore, the garages were considered to be fully occupied. 7This refers to the parking spaces provided in the gated area excluding the garages. 8Gated spaces within the Foothill Center Project will be open from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily for shared use parking. 9 This includes the parking for the non‐gated area of the site. 1 Parking demand obtained based on parking survey counts collected at the site by Counts Unlimited on April 19, 2022 and April 20, 2022. For every hour, the higher of the counts on the two days was used as a conservative approach. Parking demand has been adjusted by a occupancy factor of 75% (25% vacancy), provided by adjacent office building owner/operator, to account for potential full occupancy of adjacent offices. 32 140 110 6

However, the Municipal Code Section 17.64.050 A.6. states that for calculating parking requirement, the number of square feet for office properties should be the net of “square footage dedicated to office hallways 44 inches or less, electrical and mechanical rooms, elevator shafts, stairwells, bathrooms and storage closets.” For purposes of this analysis, these identified areas have assumed to be equal to a minimum of 15 percent of the square footage of the two neighboring office buildings. Therefore, for purposes of calculating required parking for the existing office uses, in accordance with the Municipal Code, the total net square footage of the existing offices was considered as 129,958 sf. 4 The project will be constructing 29 retail exclusive parking spaces along the new Frontage Drive on Foothill Boulevard. Therefore, those spaces have been subtracted from the overall parking requirement for the retail component of the Project at the Site.

e. The project complies with all pertinent development standards related to building height, site coverage, front/rear setbacks, and parking at the time t he application was deemed complete.

3. Based upon all available evidence in the record and presented to the City Council during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, the City Council hereby finds and concludes as follows:

Page 366 ends

Resolution No. 2023-007 - Page 3 of 5

c. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. The proposed development meets all standards outlined in the Development Code at the time it was deemed complete, as well as the design, development standards, and policies of the Planning Commission and the City; and

d. The proposed development, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The project site is vacant; the proposed land use is consistent with the General Plan’s vision for Foothill Boulevard and the expectations of the community.

4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Compliance Memorandum, 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 based upon the findings as follows:

a. The City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted a comprehensive update to the City’s General Plan (GPU) and certified a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2021050261) on December 15, 2021. As part of the GPU, the Project site was designated for “City Center” land uses, which allows for residential development at densities ranging from 40 to 100 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and non-residential development at a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) ranging from 1.0 to 2.0. According to Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines, a Program EIR may be prepared on a series of actions that can be characterized as one large project. Use of a Program EIR allows the Lead Agency to consider broad policy alternatives and pr ogram-wide mitigation measures, as well as greater flexibility to address project -specific and cumulative environmental impacts on a comprehensive scale.

b. Pursuant to Section 15183(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines, “if an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards…then an additional EIR need not be prepared for the project solely on the basis of that impact.” The 7.94-acre property is designated by the City’s General Plan for “City Center” land uses. The proposed Project is fully consistent with the site’s GPU land use designation of “City Center” and would be consistent with all applicable GPU policies. Therefore, no subsequent or supplemental EIR is required for the proposed project. To demonstrate that no subsequent EIR or environmental review is required, a CEQA Section 15183 Compliance Memorandum dated October 11, 2022, was prepared by Michael Baker International. Staff evaluated this memorandum and concluded that the project is within the scope of the EIR certified as part of the City’s GPU on December 15, 2021. The project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the GPU EIR, nor have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required

Resolution No. 2023-007 - Page 4 of 5

to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant. The City Council has reviewed the Planning Commission’s adoption of the CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Compliance Memorandum and concurs with their determination.

5. Based upon the findings, evidence, and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, the City Council hereby denies the appeal (DRC2022- 00445) and upholds the Planning Commission’s decision to approve Design Review DRC2019- 00850 subject to each and every condition set forth in the Conditions of Approval attached to Planning Commission Resolution No. 22-29.

6. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

SUBJECT:Public Hearing to Consider and Conduct First Reading of Ordinance No. 1015 to be Read by Title Only and Waive Further Reading, Amending Title 17 (Development Code) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code to Make Various Technical Text Amendments, Amending the Current Zoning Map with Various Technical Amendments; and the Consideration to Adopt Resolution No. 2023-005, Amending the General Plan Land Map with Various Technical Amendments. The City has Prepared an Addendum to the General Plan EIR (SCH No. 2021050261) for the Project. (ORDINANCE NO. 1015) (RESOLUTION NO. 2023-005) (CITY) RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a first reading of Ordinance No. 1015 and adopt Resolution No. 2023-005, approving an Addendum to the General Plan Environmental Impact Report, approving the proposed text amendments to the Development Code, approving the proposed amendments to the Zoning Map, and approving the proposed amendments to the General Plan Land Map.

BACKGROUND:

On December 15, 2021, the City Council adopted the updated General Plan for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The General Plan is the City’s blueprint, or constitution, for future development. It documents the city’s long-range vision and established clear goals, objectives and actions to guide the community through the next 10 to 20 years of change. The City Council initiated this update process, referred to as PlanRC, to be compliant with changes in state law and to build on our success as a world class community to create a balanced, vibrant and innovative city. This comprehensive General Plan Update addresses issues and challenges facing the City, including diversifying employment opportunities, expanding housing and mobility choice and preserving the character, history, and quality of life that make Rancho Cucamonga a special place to live. The updated General Plan will advance the City’s vision for a sustainable, resilient, equitable and healthy community.

On May 18, 2022, the City Council adopted the updated Development Code for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The goals of the Development Code update were to codify the community’s vision as established in the General Plan update process, increase certainty in the development review process, and facilitate implementation of key General Plan concepts related to land use and urban design. A primary objective is to integrate form-based regulations in appropriate areas, such as along Foothill Boulevard, to promote pedestrian activity and transition these areas from auto-oriented to more walkable and urban configurations. Fundamental elements of the Development Code update are:

Page 375 ends

2 1
6 2
0 •A hybrid Development Code that integrates form-based and conventional zones. •New form-based zoning regulations for walkable mixed-use areas along Foothill Boulevard and other key corridors.
•Incorporation of appropriate standards from older Specific Plans and Planned Communities into the new zoning regulations to allow for repeal of outdated plans. •New objective design standards for multi-family residential and mixed-use development projects. •Revisions to conventional zones as needed to implement the land use vision of the General Plan. •Revised general development standards to address General Plan policy or existing deficiencies with respect to landscaping, open space, and noise, among others as needed. •Improved administration and permit procedures to streamline development review for projects consistent with the General Plan and ensure adequate tools for enforcement of the Code. •Compliance with State and Federal law.
•Consistency with the updated General Plan.

Since the updated Development Code has been in effect, certain clean-up and clarifying amendments have been identified which need to be made in order to better calibrate the Development Code to the vision of the General Plan, to have clearer standards and procedures, and to expedite development application processes. The amendments proposed in this staff report are to ensure that the Development Code maintains consistency with the City’s vision for development as stipulated by the General Plan.

ANALYSIS:

Development Code Text Amendments:

The Development Code text amendments consist of various technical amendments to Articles II, III, IV, V, VI, VIII, and IX. The technical amendments include formatting and typographic error fixes, new definitions, new/clarified development standards, new chapters and sections, and the creation of a new Open Space zone. A summary of the changes are listed below and on Attachment A.

New chapters and sections include:

1.Section 17.36.020 (Development standards for two units in single-family residential zones) a. This section was added to permanently adopt the interim code standards consistent with Senate Bill 9 which were adopted via Interim Ordinance No. 994, with final modifications consistent with case law

2.Section 17.36.030 (Urban lot splits in single-family residential zones) a. This section was added to permanently adopt the interim code standards consistent with Senate Bill 9 which were adopted via Interim Ordinance No. 994.

3.Section 17.62.070 (Nonconforming lots)
a. The inclusion of this section adds to Chapter 17.62 which already addressed nonconforming uses and structures but did not include nonconforming lots. This new section provides standards for the use, development, or improvement of nonconforming lots.

4.Chapter 17.77 (Transfer of Development Rights)
a. This section was added to implement a citywide Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program which mirrors the TDR program in the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood and Conservation Plan.

5.Chapter 17.90 (Drive-In and Drive-Through Uses)
a. The chapter has been updated with new development standards to regulate the development of drive-in and drive-through uses which align with the goals of the General Plan.

6.Chapter 17.97 (Live/Work Units)
a. This new chapter establishes standards for the location, development, and operation of integrated live/work units in mixed-use zones and for the reuse of existing residential, commercial, and industrial structures to accommodate live/work opportunities.

Page 376 ends

0 Key amendments to existing chapters and sections include:

1. The Development Code currently contains four Open Space zones: OS – Open Space, HR – Hillside Residential, FC - Flood Control, and UC - Utility Corridor. The Open Space Zones help further the City’s commitment to maintaining a network of open spaces. Open Space is generally characterized by the absence of, or limited presence, of buildings and other development. The current zoning map combines three of these open space zones into one color designation, which proved to be difficult for property owners and city staff to differentiate the appropriate regulations, development standards, or allowed uses amongst the three zones. To correct this, the three combined zones have been separated on the zoning map and will be further clarified in the zoning code. The separation and clarification of the zones will result in a better understanding of each open space designation’s intention or purpose and ensure that future development and/or uses are aligned with the General Plan.

2. Article VIII (Form-Based Code) contains various technical updates including minor text edits and clarifying language for minimum parking setbacks. Generally, the updates are intended to better calibrate the Article to meet the vision of the General Plan and to make the standards clearer for applicants. In addition, the ME2 zone will allow for ‘Manufacturing, Food Processing’ by approval of a Conditional Use Permit, and allow for ‘Retail, Warehouse Club’ as a permitted use. Lastly, the section on Thoroughfares has been updated to include specific standards for new thoroughfares such as lane widths, sidewalk widths, and landscape buffer standards. Connecting places and people requires more than a simple road, paseo, or sidewalk. The characteristics of those connections is what creates the walkable environment that the General Plan envisions. The additional clarity and details for thoroughfares will help emphasize the importance of connectivity, not only with its design elements but also with the way it functions.

Zoning Map and General Plan Land Plan Map Amendments:

The Zoning Map amendments also consist of various technical amendments and associated amendments to the General Plan Land Plan Map. The amendments include the creation of the new Open Space zone, rezoning of residential areas, and the rezoning of various parcels as technical clean-ups. The amendments are listed below:

1. Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor (OS/FC/UC) – Various Parcels Citywide:

This technical clean-up to the map will implement the text changes to the open space zones previously discussed. Open space is currently regulated by four zones, however, the zoning map identifies three of the zones as one zone on the map (OS/FC/UC). This has created conflict with applying proper zoning to the property, identifying land uses, among other things. This technical clean-up to the map and corresponding revisions to the relevant text will resolve these conflicts.

2. High Residential Zone amended to Low Medium Residential Zone – Various Parcels (Victoria Arbors):

This technical clean-up will rezone a single-family neighborhood within a Master Plan community from High Residential (H) back to Low Medium Residential (LM). The LM zone is consistent with the existing development intensity, the existing character of the single-family neighborhood, and addresses the substantial nonconformities that were created by the H zone designation. Additionally, the LM zoning remains consistent with the Suburban Moderate General Plan Designation as it is within the density maximum and promotes the development of single-family neighborhoods.

Page 377 ends

4 1
6 2
0 3. High Residential Zone amended to Medium High Residential Zone – Various Parcels (Candlewood):

This technical clean-up will rezone five parcels from High Residential (H) to Medium High Residential (MH). The affected parcels are vacant or underutilized, and suitable for medium-high density development up to 24 units per acre. MH zoning remains consistent with the Suburban Moderate General Plan Designation as it is within the density maximum and promotes the development of a range of medium-intensity housing options, including multifamily residential that can be compatible with nearby lower density residential developments.

The rezoning of these parcels from High Residential (H) to Medium High Residential (MH) will not result in a net loss of potential housing units. Senate Bill 330 allows for the rezoning of parcels as long as the new zoning designation is not reducing the intensity of land use below what was allowed under the General Plan or Specific Plan land use designation and zoning ordinances of the City that was in effect on January 1, 2018. In 2018, the parcels were zoned as “OP – Office/Professional District” within the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The OP zone allowed for various commercial uses such as professional offices, banks, and restaurants with no residential density.

4. Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor amended to Neo-Industrial – APN: 020901315:

This technical clean-up will rezone a 1-acre parcel from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor back to Neo-Industrial. The vacant parcel was inadvertently zoned to OS/FC/UC as it appeared to be part of the adjacent flood control channel. This zoning amendment also includes a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Neo Industrial.

5. Center 2 Zone amended to Industrial Employment – APNs: 022902180, 022902191:

This technical clean-up will rezone two vacant city-owned parcels totaling approximately 7 acres from Center 2 to Industrial Employment. The parcels were rezoned along with a large development area as part of the 2022 Zoning Map amendment. However, the parcels contain a unique property configuration and are located adjacent to the Interstate-15 freeway, which doesn’t make them conducive for the development vision of the Center 2 zone.

The rezoning of this parcel from Center 2 to Industrial Employment will not result in a net loss of potential housing units. Senate Bill 330 allows for the rezoning of parcels as long as the new zoning designation is not reducing the intensity of land use below what was allowed under the General Plan or Specific Plan land use designation and zoning ordinances of the City that was in effect on January 1, 2018. In 2018, the parcel was zoned as “RR – Regional Related Office/Commercial” within the Victoria Community Plan, which did not permit residential uses.

6. Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to Very Low Residential – APN: 106264157:

This technical clean-up will rezone a parcel from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Very Low Residential. The property is currently developed with a single- family residence and was mistakenly rezoned to OS/FC/UC. This zoning amendment will require a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Semi-Rural Neighborhood.

7. Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to Medium Residential – APN: 108947125:

This technical clean-up will rezone an existing property from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Medium Residential. The property is currently developed with a private education use (Montessori School) and was errantly zoned to OS/FC/UC. This zoning amendment corresponds with a proposed General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Suburban Neighborhood Low.

Page 378 ends

0 8. Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to Medium Residential – APN: 108926155, 108928157:

This technical clean-up will rezone an existing property from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Medium Residential. The property is currently developed with a single-family residence and was errantly zoned to OS/FC/UC. This zoning amendment corresponds with a proposed General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Suburban Neighborhood Low.

9. Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to Neo-Industrial – APN: 020917115:

This technical clean-up will change the General Plan Land Use Designation from General Open Space and Facilities to Traditional Town Center. This technical amendment requires a General Plan Amendment.

Planning Commission Hearing:

The proposed amendments were presented to the Planning Commission on December 13, 2022, at a noticed public hearing. During the public hearing, Staff recommended changes to the Planning in addition to those noted above. The changes primarily consisted of fixing inadvertent redline sections, deleting irrelevant text, and minor changes to ensure compliance with applicable laws. The Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution 22-30, recommending approval of the EIR Addendum, the General Plan amendments, the Zoning Map amendments, and the Development Code amendments, with the additional recommended changes, to the City Council for consideration on a 3-0 vote (two Commissioners absent).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

In approving the General Plan update in December 2021, the City Council certified the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2021050261) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the City has reviewed the proposed amendments to the Development Code, Zoning Map, and General Plan Map against the General Plan EIR and determined the EIR adequately addresses all the environmental issues associated with the project. The proposed project would not result in any new significant impacts on the environment based upon the analysis and conclusions presented in the General Plan EIR. In addition, previously identified significant impacts would not be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR. Finally, no new feasible mitigation measures have been identified that would substantially reduce significant impacts identified in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, staff has prepared an EIR Addendum for the amendments to the Development Code, Zoning Map, and General Plan Land Plan Map. Unlike an EIR, an Addendum is not required to be circulated for public review.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The adoption of these amendments will further facilitate future development consistent with the vision outlined in the General Plan. The General Plan vision for denser, mixed use urban centers can help Rancho Cucamonga maintain a high level of fiscal performance and become a regional destination and focal point of activity.

COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:

These amendments address multiple City Council Core Values, including providing and nurturing a high quality of life for all, promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all, intentionally embracing and anticipating the future, building and preserving a family-oriented atmosphere, and more.

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR

1.1 BACKGROUND
This document serves as the environmental documentation for the City’s update to its Development Code (proposed project) to ensure consistency with the City’s General Plan. This addendum to the General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR), certified in December 2021 (State Clearinghouse No. 2021050261), demonstrates that the analysis in the General Plan EIR adequately addresses the potential ph ysical impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project and that none of the conditions described in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15162, exist and preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration is not necessary.

1.2 PURPOSE OF AN EIR ADDENDUM
According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(a), an addendum shall be prepared if some changes or additions to a previously adopted EIR are necessary, but none of the conditions enumerated in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a)(1) to (3) calling for the preparation of subsequent EIR have occurred. As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations):

When an EIR has been certified or negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant envir onmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(a) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
(b) Significant effects previously exami ned will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;

ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR

Page 4 ends

(c) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (d) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

The proposed project would not trigger any of the conditions outlined in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a)(1) to (3) because these changes would not result in new s ignificant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects requiring major revisions to the General Plan EIR. The following analysis provides the substantial evidence required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(e) to support the finding that a subsequent EIR is not required and an addendum to the General Plan EIR is the appropriate environmental document to address changes to the project.

As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 (Addendum to an EIR):
(a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. (b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. (c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration.
(d) The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. (e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanati on must be supported by substantial evidence.

A copy of this addendum, and all supporting documentation, may be reviewed or obtained at the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department, 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730.

1.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The intent of the project is to ensure that the updated Development Code is consistent with the adopted General Plan. The key amendments to existing Development Code chapters and sections are described below and in Table 1.

ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR

October 2022 Page 5
• Currently the Development Code contains three Open Space zones: OS – Open Space, HR – Hillside Residential, and OS – Open Space, FC Flood Control, UC Utility Corridor. The combination of three open space uses into one zone, “OS – Open Space, FC Flood Contr ol, UC Utility Corridor,” proved to be difficult for property owners and City staff to differentiate given that each use category had their own permitted uses in the Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone). As a result, the zone is proposed to be split into two: P – Parks and FC/UC – Flood Control/Utility Corridor.

The ‘Parks’ zone will focus on public parks, schools, and facilities while the ‘Flood Control/Utility Corridor’ zone will focus on flood control channels, utility corridors, and utility sites. The two zones will provide more clarity to property owners and City staff to determine the zoning classification for a parcel and its associated permitted uses. The proposed zones are still in alignment with the General Pla n Land Use Designation of “General Open Space & Facilities” and they will further specify the zoning classifications depending on land use. In addition, the existing “OS – Open Space zone” is proposed to be renamed to “OSC – Open Space Conservation” to differentiate it as an open space zone meant for conservation areas and protection of natural resources as well as further aligning the zone with the General Plan Land Use Designation of “Rural Open Space”.
• Article VIII (Form-Based Code) contains various technical updates including minor text edits and clarifying language for minimum parking setbacks. Generally, the updates are intended to better calibrate the Article to meet the vision of the General Plan and to make the standards clearer for applicants. The substantive edits consist of changes to Table 17.136.020-1 (Allowed Land Uses in Form-Based Zones) in which zones ME2 and CE2 designate ‘EV showroom and Outdoor Sales’ as a permitted use. In addition, the ME2 zone will allow for ‘Manufacturing, Food Proc essing’ by approval of a Conditional Use Permit, and allow for ‘Retail, Warehouse Club’ as a permitted use. Lastly, Section 17.138.030.H (Thoroughfares) has been updated to include specific standards for new thoroughfares such as lane widths, sidewalk wid ths, and landscape buffer standards as well as a section diagram displaying an example of a typical thoroughfare.

1.4 ZONING MAP CLEANUP

Additionally, the proposed project also includes changes to various parcels in the City that fall under specific zoning designations as shown on Figure 1, Prior to Zoning Amendment, and Figure 2, Post Zoning Amendment. The zone changes are described as follows:

Page 392 ends

ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR

Page 8 ends

 Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor (OS/FC/UC) – Various Parcels Citywide: A technical clean-up that will include name changes to the open space zones, the creation of a new zone that will regulate parks and public facilities, and separation of the open space zones on the zoning map. Open space is currently regulated by four zones that are defined se parately in Table 17.26.020-1 and listed separately on the Land Use Table 17.30.030-1. However, the zoning map identifies three of the zones as one zone on the map (OS/FC/UC), which has created conflict with applying proper zoning to the property, identifying land uses, among other things. This technical clean-up will address these conflicts. All affected parcels are currently zoned OS/FC/UC. Following the proposed amendments, the affected parcels will remain under the open space category and will remain consistent with their corresponding General Plan designation.  High Residential Zone amended to Low Medium Zone – Various Parcels (Victoria Arbors): This technical clean-up will rezone a single -family neighborhood within a Master Plan community from High Residential (H) back to Low Medium Residential (LM). The affected single -family neighborhood was inadvertently zoned H as a result of the General Plan consistency table that established the H zone as an implementing zone for the Suburban Moderate General Plan designation. The LM zone is consistent with the existing development intensity, the existing character of the single-family neighborhood, and addresses the substantial nonconformities that were created by the H zone designation. Additionally, the LM zoning remains consistent with the Suburban Moderate General Plan Designation as it is within the density maximum and promotes the development of single-family neighborhoods. The rezoning of these parcels will not constitute a net loss of potential housing units per State law. Senate Bill 330 allows for the rezoning of parcels as long as the new zoning designation is not reducing the intensity of land use below what was allowed under the General Plan or Specific Plan land use designation and zoning ordinances of the City that was in effect on January 1, 2018. In 2018, these parcels were zoned Low Medium Residential at a density of 4-6 dwelling units per acre. The proposed zoning of Low Medium Residential per the updated Development Code allows for up to 8 dwelling units per acre.  High Residential Zone amended to Medium High Zone – Various Parcels (Candlewood): This technical clean-up will rezone five parcels from High Residential (H) to Medium High Residential (MH).

The affected parcels were inadvertently zoned H as a result of the General Plan consistency table that established the H zone as an implementing zone for the Suburban Moderate General Plan designation. The affected parcels are vacant or underutilized, and suitable for medium -high density development up to 24 units per acre. MH zoning remains consistent with the Suburban Moderate General Plan Designation as it is within the density maximum and promotes the development of a range of medium intensity housing options, including multifamily residential that can be compatible with nearby lower density residential developments. The rezoning of these parcels will not constitute a net loss of potential housing units per State law. Senate Bill 330 allows for the rezoning of parcels if the new zoning designation is not reducing the intensity of land use below what was allowed under the General Plan or Specific Plan land use designation and zoning ordinances of the City that was in effect on January 1, 2018. In 2018, four of these parcels were zoned “OP – Office Professional” which did not allow residential uses. One parcel was zoned Medium Low and is being rezoned to Medium High Residential.

ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR

October 2022 Page 9
 Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor amended to Neo- Industrial – APN: 020-901-315: A technical clean-up that will rezone a 1-acre parcel from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor back to Neo-Industrial. The vacant parcel was inadvertently zoned to OS/FC/UC as it appeared to be part of the adjacent flood control channel and undevelopable due to its size, lot depth and w idth, and nearby property constraints. This zoning amendment also includes a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Neo Industrial.
 Center 2 Zone amended to Industrial Employment – APNs: 022-902-180, 022-902-191 (City): A technical clean-up that will rezone two vacant parcels totaling approximately seven acres from Center 2 to Industrial Employment. The parcels were rezoned along with a large development area as part of the 2022 Zoning Map amendment. However, the parcels contain a unique property configuration and are located adjacent to the Interstate -15 freeway, which doesn’t make them conducive for the development expectations of the Center 2 zone.
 Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to Very Low Residential – APN: 106-264-157 (SFR):

A technical clean -up that will rezone a parcel from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Very Low Residential. The property is currently developed with a single - family residence and was mistakenly rezone d to OS/FC/UC. This zoning amendment will require a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Semi-Rural Neighborhood.  Open Space/Flood Control/Utility to Medium Residential – APN: 108 -947-125 (Montessori School near Windrows Park): A technical clean -up that will rezone an existing property from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Medium Residential. The property is currently developed with a private education use (Montessori School) and wa s mistakenly rezoned to OS/FC/UC. This zoning amendment will require a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Suburban Neighborhood Low.  Open Space/Flood Control/Utility to Medium Residential – APN: 108-926-155, 108-928-157 (SFR):

A technical clean -up that will rezone an existing property from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Medium Residential. The property is currently developed with a single-family residence and was mistakenly rezo ned to OS/FC/UC. This zoning amendment will require a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Suburban Neighborhood Low.
 Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to Neo-Industrial – APN: 108-947-125: This technical clean-up will rezone an existing property from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Neo-Industrial. The property is currently developed with a private education use and was mistakenly rezoned to OS/FC/UC. While t his zoning amendment will require a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Traditional Town Center , the change reflects existing conditions of the property and therefore will not result in any environmental impact.

2. Findings
The General Plan contains policies related to land use and community character, focus areas, open space, mobility and access, housing, public facilities and services, resource conservation, safety, and noise. The General Plan EIR included Standard Conditions of Approval (See Chapter 4 Implementation) for the following environmental topics: aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, noise, transportation, tribal cultural resources, and wildfire.

The policies of the General Plan and the City’s existing development standards apply to all development in the General Plan Planning Area and would continue following adoption of the proposed project. As indicated above, the Development Code revisions are intended to improve alignment with the General Plan. As shown in Table 1, the text revisions constitute minor changes to existing Development Code intended to clarify and support implementation the rezoning of the General Plan. The proposed map revisions shown in Figure 2, correct mapping errors that were identified during the Development Code review or changes that reflect existing developed conditions of the land.

The General Plan EIR considered land use designations and the general pattern of future development. While the Development Code is not specifically evaluated in the General Plan EIR, st ate law requires that land use and zoning be consistent. The General Plan EIR included policy changes as well as an update to the Development Code, which included zoning updates. Overall, the proposed revisions to the Development Code are minor in nature and are required to ensure consistency with the recently adopted General Plan, any physical impacts associated with the rezoning of parcels are addressed through the City’s General Plan Implementation Chapter, zoning, and development standards. For these reasons, the proposed project would not change the conclusions of the General Plan EIR.

The following identifies the standards in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 as they relate to the project.

1. No substantial changes are proposed in the project which would require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

The proposed project would better align the Development Code with the recently adopted General Plan; therefore, the proposed revisions to the Development Code are consistent with the General Plan as evaluated in the General Plan EIR and adopted by the City. Additionally, the proposed rezoning of parcels in the Cit y are a technical clean -up correcting errors in the zoning map that would not result in direct physical impacts to the environment different from those anticipated in the General Plan EIR .

Consequently, the changes to the Development Code and rezoning of parcels would not change the conclusions of the EIR.

2. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certifi ed as complete demonstrating that the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR.

The General Plan Update anticipated the need to amend the Development Code to implement the goals and policies adopted by the City. The General Plan EIR relies upon the Implementation Measures included in the General Plan to regulate all future development. The es Measures will continue to apply to all development in the City and will have the same mitigating effects as disclosed in the General Plan EIR.

Because these change s are a result of the Development Code review anticipated by the General Plan Update, there is no new information that was not known and could not have been known at the time the General Plan EIR was certified . The impacts from the proposed project would be the same as those disclosed in the certified General Plan EIR.

3. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete demonstrating that significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR.

The proposed project would have the same significant impacts as those disclosed in the General Plan EIR.

The General Plan policies and Standard Conditions of Approval identified in the General Plan EIR to reduce physical environmental effects would apply to all new development. These policies would have the same mitigating effect as disclosed in the General Plan EIR . The proposed project would better align the Development Code with the recently adopted General Plan, and therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan EIR. Additionally, the proposed rezoning of parc els in the City are a technical clean-up and would not result in direct physical impacts to the environment. There is no new information that would demonstrate that significant effects examined would be substantially more severe than shown in the certified General Plan EIR. Future development that would require amendments to the General Plan would be required to undergo appropriate environmental analysis.

4. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete demonstrating that m itigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or mo re significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

The proposed project would better align the Development Code with the recently adopted General Plan as evaluated by the General Plan EIR. All policies and Standard Conditions of Approval identified in the General Plan EIR would continue to apply to all development in the C ity and would have the same mitigating effect as disclosed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would not change the assumptions described in the General Plan EIR and does not change the conclusions of the EIR or require new Standard Conditions of Approval or mitigation. Additionally, the proposed rezoning of parcels in the City are a technical clean -up and would not result in direct physical impacts to the environment. Future

development that would require amendments to the General Plan would be required to undergo appropriate environmental analysis.

5. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete demonstrating that m itigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from thos e analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

The proposed project would not result in direct physical changes to the environment but would ensure that the Development Code is consistent with the General Plan. Additionally, the proposed rezoning of parcels in the City are a technical clean -up to reflect the proposed Development Code change or reflect existing developed conditions of property. As such, development in the City would continue to be consistent with the buildout projected in the General Plan EIR, and the resulting impacts disclosed in the General Plan EIR would remain the same. Therefore, no new Standard Conditions of Approval, mitigation measures, or alternatives to the proposed project would be required.

There are no substantial changes in the circumstances or added information that was not known and could not have been known at the time of the adoption of the General Plan EIR. As a result, and for the reasons explained in this addendum, the proposed project would not cause any new significant environmental impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant environmental impacts disclosed in the General Plan EIR.

Therefore, the proposed project does not trigger any of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR, and the approp riate environmental document as authorized by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) is an addendum.

Attachment 6

Page 407 ends

a. Per Section 17.22.040(C) of the Municipal Code, amendments to the Municipal Code and Zoning Map “may be approved only when the City Council finds that the amendment[s] are consistent with the General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs.” The proposed Amendments are consistent with the following Land Use Element and Housing Element policies:

• Land Use LC -1.2: Quality of Place. “Ensure that new infill development is compatible with the existing, historic, and envisioned future character and scale of each neighborhood.”

• Land Use LC-1.4: Connectivity and Mobility. “Work to complete a network of pedestrian- and bike- friendly streets and trails, designed in concert with adjacent land uses, using the public realm to provide more access options.”

• Land Use LC -1.9: Infill Development. “Enable and encourage infill development within vacant and underutilized properties through flexible design requirements and potential incentives.”

• Land Use LC -1.11: Compatible Development. “Allow flexibility in density and intensity to address specific site conditions and ensure compatibility of new development with adjacent context.”

• Housing H -1.3: Accessory Dwelling Units. “Facilitate the development of accessory dwelling units to provide additional housing opportunities pursuant to State law and established zoning regulations.”

• Housing H -5.1: Development Review Processes. “Consider new polices, codes, and procedures that have the potential to reduce procedural delays, provide information early in the development process regarding development costs, and charge only those fees necessary to adequately carry out needed public services and improvements.”

• Housing H-5.4: Development Standards. “Evaluate and adjust as appropriate residential development standards, regulations, and processing procedures that are determined to constrain housing development, particularly housing opportunities for lower and moderate income households and for persons with special needs.”

b. The Amendments identified herein have been processed, including, but not limited to, public notice, in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law, including the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).

c. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the City’s local CEQA Guidelines, the City has prepared an addendum to the certified Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) (SCH #2021050261) prepared for the General Plan Update and Climate Action Plan. The addendum concludes that the proposed Amendments do not result in any new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects beyond what was analyzed in the certified FEIR. No new information has become available and no substantial changes to the circumstances under which implementation of the General Plan has been undertaken since the certification of the FEIR have occurred. The proposed Amendments would not substantially increase the severity of effects relative to the environmental topics analyzed in the Certified FEIR, nor would the proposed Amendments require new mitigation measures or alternatives. Based on this evidence and all evidence in the record, the City Council concurs with the Planning Commission and Planning

Page 408 ends

Department staff’s determination that the Amendments will not have a significant effect on the environment and an addendum is the appropriate level of environmental review under CEQA. The City Council has considered the proposed addendum attached to the staff report accompanying the Amendments, along with the certified FEIR, and hereby adopts the addendum.

d. The Amendments are consistent with the direction, goals, policies, and implementation programs of the General Plan, including without limitation, the Housing and Land Use Elements thereof, and will provide for development in a manner consistent with the General Plan.

e. Subject to the approval of the related amendments (General Plan Amendment DRC2022-00465) the Amendments do not conflict with the policies and provisions of the General Plan, Planned Community, Specific Plan, and/or Master Plan identified herein.

f. The City Council finds that the Amendments serve the important purpose of providing sufficient development standards that will apply to various development types throughout the City and to better calibrate the Development Code and the official Zoning Map to the vision of the General Plan. The City Council further finds that the proposed Amendments protect the public health, safety, and welfare.

g. The findings set forth in this Ordinance reflect the independent judgment of the City Council.

3. Determination on Municipal Code Amendment DRC2022- 00464. Based on the findings set forth in this Ordinance and the totality of the administrative record before it, the City Council hereby approves Municipal Code Amendment DRC2022- 00464 set forth in Exhibit “A,” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Elisa C. Cox, Assistant City Manager
Michael Parmer, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Selection of a Delegate for the Southern California Association of Government's (SCAG) General Assembly. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council appoint a member to serve as Rancho Cucamonga’s delegate at the upcoming SCAG General Assembly. The Council may also wish to select an alternate delegate if desired, although it is not required.

BACKGROUND:

The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is the nation's largest metropolitan planning organization, representing six counties and 191 cities in an area covering more than 38,000 square miles. SCAG undertakes a variety of planning and policy initiatives to encourage a more sustainable Southern California now and in the future. As the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization, SCAG is mandated by federal and state law to research and draw up plans for transportation, growth management, hazardous materials management, and air quality.

SCAG is governed by the General Assembly which brings together the official representatives of SCAG's membership and helps set the agency's course for the coming year. The General Assembly serves as a forum where policy matters can be identified and addressed. Amendments to SCAG's Bylaws may also be considered at the General Assembly. In addition, members of the General Assembly also vote on SCAG's General Fund budget and SCAG's new President, Vice President, and Second Vice President are announced for the upcoming year at this annual event.

ANALYSIS:

This year's Regional Conference and General Assembly will be held in-person on May 4 and 5, 2023 in Palm Desert, CA. If a Member City wishes to select a Delegate to participate in the General Assembly, City Council action is required to appoint the Delegate. An Alternate may also be selected; however, it is not required. Each General Assembly Delegate (or Alternate) will be invited to the SCAG's Regional Conference and General Assembly event. If a City has a Council Member that serves as a Regional Council Member on the SCAG Board, that person is automatically the City's delegate, however, if an Alternate is also desired, they will need to be appointed by the City Council. Mayor L. Dennis Michael currently serves as a SCAG Regional Council Member; however, Council appointed Councilmember Kristine Scott as the delegate at last year’s SCAG General Assembly and Councilmember Ryan Hutchison as the Alternate. Delegates and Alternates are required to submit FPPC Form 700 Statement of Economic Interests to the SCAG office upon appointment.
