SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution to Release the Real Property Lien on Tract 20334 Placed by Resolution No. 2015-141 Related to Drainage Reimbursement Agreement 43, Located on the East Side of East Avenue South of Banyan Street and the Authorization of a Release of Deposit in the Amount of $31,349 from the City Trust Fund (Fund 882). (RESOLUTION NO. 2023-022) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution to release the Real Property Lien on Tract 20334 (previously described as APN No.'s 225-191-09 and 225-191-17) related to Drainage Reimbursement Agreement 43 (DRA-43);
2. Authorize the Mayor to sign the approved release of lien and the City Clerk to cause the said release of lien to record.
3. Approve a release of a deposit in the amount of $31,349 from account 1882000-2305.
BACKGROUND:
On July 15, 2015 Resolution No. 2015-141 was approved by the City Council causing a lien to be recorded against Tract 20334 (previously described as APN No.’s 225-191-09 and 225-191-17).
The lien was recorded against the land in Tract 20334 on July 23, 2015, as Document No. 2015- 0315128, to ensure the collection of payment for previously completed storm drain improvements by the Developer of the neighboring tract to the east, Tract 17651 prior to the completion of any development on the listed parcels. A copy of the agreement is on file in the City Clerk’s Office.
Drainage Reimbursement Agreements are put in place when a development project is conditioned to complete the construction of a storm drain that not only mitigates the impact from the current project, but also anticipates capacity needs should the remaining vacant parcels within the vicinity of the project be developed in the future.
DRA-43 established amounts to be paid to the City by the Developer of the above listed APN’s (Manning Homes), which are in turn paid by the City to the Developer of Tract 17651 (K.
Hovnanian Homes) as a reimbursement for the construction of Storm Drain Line-A from Etiwanda Avenue Storm Drain System Line 2-1 to Gypsum Drive. The amount required to satisfy the requirements in the Agreement is $31,348.15.

1 8
ANALYSIS:
The City Engineering Services Department received payment in February 2023 from the Manning Homes on behalf of Tract 20334 for the full amount of $31,348.15 listed in DRA-43, which fully satisfies the requirement set in the Agreement.
Approval of this item by Council would authorize the Mayor to sign the release of lien and cause the release to be recorded with the San Bernardino County Recorder’s Office.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
None
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City has received revenue in the amount of $31,348.15 to satisfy DRA-43. This amount will be paid to the Developer of Tract 17651 through the release of a deposit from Account 1882000- 2305 (City Trust Fund).
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses the City Council’s vision for the City by ensuring the construction of high- quality improvements that promote a world class community.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the City’s local CEQA Guidelines, Applied Planning prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project, which was peer-reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to review this document. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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.
On October 28, 2021, the Planning Commission reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record before it, found: (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.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed annexations would satisfy the conditions of approval for the development and supply additional annual revenue into the landscape and lighting maintenance districts in the following amounts:
Landscape Maintenance District No.7: $ 2,763.45
Street Lighting Maintenance District No.1: $ 159.93
Street Lighting Maintenance District No.7: $ 299.88

SUBJECT: Consideration to Approve and Adopt Resolution Certifying the Results of an Election and Adding Annexation No. 2023-1 to Community Facilities District No. 2022-02 (Industrial Area Services) of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. (RESOLUTION NO. 2023-026) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve and adopt the Resolution Certifying the Results of an Election and Adding Annexation No. 2023-1 to Community Facilities District No. 2022-02.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council approved Resolutions No. 2022-064 (the “Resolution Authorizing Future Annexation”) authorizing the future annexation of territory to Community Facilities District No. 2022-02 (Industrial Area Services) (the “CFD 2022-02”) to provide maintenance and services to landscape, storm drains, streets and roadway and police safety calls and services throughout industrial areas.
The City conditions the property owner to annex such property into the existing CFD 2022-02 to fund industrial maintenance and services attributed to the new industrial projects. On November 11, 2022, the property owner signed an Annexation Proceeding Deposit Agreement to initiate the annexation process.
ANALYSIS:
In February 2023, the Property Owner submitted their Consent and Waiver and Official Ballot to the City Clerk’s Office Election Official. The Election Official has canvassed the ballot and completed the statement of votes cast (See Exhibit “A” of the Resolution). The Property Owner cast their vote unanimously in favor of the special tax levy for CFD 2022-02.
Adoption of this Resolution constitutes the City Council’s formal action certifying the election results and adding the Annexation Territory to CFD 2022-02 and directs the recordation of an amendment to the existing Notice of Special Tax Lien. By recordation of this amendment, prospective purchasers of the property within the Annexation Territory will have notice of the special tax obligation affecting such property.
A map showing the property is included in the Resolution.

FISCAL IMPACT:
CFD 2022-02 was formed to be financially self-sufficient, meaning the revenues generated by the District offset the costs of providing services and can be adjusted annually based on changes in the overall operating costs of the District.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses the City Council’s goal to ensure the fiscal sustainability of the City’s special districts. This item also supports the City Council’s core values of intentionally embracing and anticipating the future.

INITIATED BY: Matt Marquez, Planning & Economic Development Director Mena Abdul-Ahad, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Public Convenience or Necessity DRC2022-00385- Metro Supermarket- A Request for a Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) Determination for Alcoholic Beverage Sales for Off-Site Consumption (Type-20 off-sale beer and wine) for a Grocery Store (Metro Supermarket) Located in the Center 2 (CE2) Zone at 8160 Day Creek Boulevard – APN: 0229-021-73.
This Project is Categorically Exempt from the Requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1 Exemption – Existing Facilities). (RESOLUTION NO. 2023-029) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Resolution, making a determination of Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) for off-sale beer and wine sales for Metro Supermarket located at 8160 Day Creek Boulevard and direct staff to forward a copy of the resolution to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).
BACKGROUND:
On October 12, 2022, Metro Supermarket, a new business (in the process of obtaining tenant improvement permits) in the city, submitted a Public Convenience or Necessity application to the Planning Department for review. The application proposes to operate a Type-20 Off-Sale alcohol license to sell beer and wine related to the operation of a grocery store, Metro Supermarket. A Type- 20 license specifically authorizes the sale of beer and wine for consumption off the premises of where it is sold.
The State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) regulates the distribution of liquor licenses by setting limits on the various types of licenses in each census tract. The limits are calculated based on the ratio of liquor licenses to the population within a given census tract and are regulated by Section 23958 of the California Business and Professional Code. In cases where a census tract exceeds the limit, a finding of PCN is required by the local agency, which in Rancho Cucamonga is the City Council. The legislation purposely left the term Public Convenience or Necessity undefined so that the local legislative body, the City Council, would have the greatest latitude for discretion based on the local conditions and circumstances.
1 6
5 4
Relative to this case, ABC permits up to four (4) alcohol licenses within Census Tract 22.07, within which the subject project site is located. Census tract 22.07 currently has five (5) existing off-sale licenses (Type 20 & Type 21). According to ABC, the proposed alcohol license constitutes a sixth license. As this exceeds the four (4) alcohol licenses permitted, Census Tract 22.07 is overconcentrated. Thus, a determination of PCN is required to be approved by the local jurisdiction before ABC can issue the related alcohol license.
On May 5, 2021, the City Manager established a policy for making PCN determinations in situations where the existing census tract is or may become over-concentrated. This policy, included as Attachment 5 to this report, establishes that PCN determinations will not be recommended by staff for businesses in areas where the number of off-site alcoholic beverage retail licenses are over-concentrated. However, exceptions may be granted for businesses that meet the following criteria:
1. The surrounding census tracts are not over-concentrated;
2. The census tract does not have a higher rate of DUI arrests or criminal activity than the City average when taken as a whole for the preceding 3 years;
3. There are no sensitive receptors such as schools, churches, preschools, daycare centers, parks community centers, or other businesses where children are known to congregate within 2 blocks in any direction of the subject business;
4. The business would not operate 24-hours a day;
5. The business will provide for crime prevention through environmental design measures as recommended by the Police Department and approved by the Planning Department;
6. A business that wants to obtain an off-site alcohol beverage license located within an over- concentrated census tract may also be recommended for approval if:
•The business provides a unique product offering not generally or readily found within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Some examples, not intended to be exhaustive, of a unique product offering, would include a distillery/brewery/winery that had both on-sale and off-sale licenses or a specialty retailer that carried a substantial offering of unique imported products not otherwise readily available; or •The business is a grocery store that is 20,000 square feet or larger and where the sale of alcohol does not constitute more than 10% of the product display floor area, and which is not located within ½ mile of other grocery stores that exist within the City boundaries.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed Metro Supermarket comprises a tenant space totaling approximately 20,121 square feet in size. The supermarket proposes to sell international Asian products. Their hours of operation will be Monday to Sunday from 8:00 am-9:00 pm with approximately 23 employees.
According to the ABC census tract authorization data finder, the census tract in which the site is located (22.07) currently contains five (5) off-sale licenses. This includes Walmart, Chevron Gas Station, Food 4 Less, Total Wine & More, and Arco Gas Station. Based on the population of the census tract, a maximum of four (4) off-sale alcohol licenses are permitted without the local municipality making a determination of a PCN. If approved, Metro Supermarket will be the 6th of-
1 6
5 4
sale alcohol license in Census Tract 22.07.
In analyzing the subject application against the PCN policy, staff found the following:
•The surrounding census tracts are overconcentrated. The following table below illustrates the number of existing off-sale licenses surrounding census tract 22.07.
Surrounding
Census Tracts
# of Off-Sale Licenses
Allowed
# of Existing Off-
Sale Licenses
20.47 2 5
22.04 4 5
21.12 2 7
20.50 4 1
•Within the last three (3) years, the city has had a total of 2,060 DUI/Drunk in Public reports.
During that same time frame, census tract 22.07 had 153. That is 7.43% of the total (time range queried – 03/01/2020 – 02/28/2023).
•The proposed business is not located within two blocks of any sensitive receptors. The business is located in an existing commercial shopping center within the CE2 zone and within the City Center land use designation. No sensitive receptors, such as schools, residences, or places where children congregate are in the vicinity of the subject business location. Further, both the Zone and the General Plan land use designation anticipate this type of use.
•The business will not operate 24-hours a day. The proposed hours of operation are Monday to Sunday from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm.
•The business will provide for crime prevention through environmental design measures as recommended by the Police Department and approved by the Planning Department. •The business is proposed to be located within an existing commercial tenant space which is designed to facilitate efficient emergency response pursuant to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design best practices such as indoor and outdoor security camera and alarm systems. No improvements associated with the proposed PCN will result in adverse circumstances which will prohibit or delay adequate crime prevention measures.
Staff notes that Criteria No. 6 of the City’s PCN policy provides that, despite a use being located in an overconcentrated census tract, the City Council may approve a request for a PCN if certain criteria is met, namely that the business provides unique products not readily available elsewhere in the City, is a minimum of 20,000 square feet, limits the sales area of alcohol product to less than 10% of the floor area, and is not located within ½ mile of another grocery store.
Thus, staff recommends approval of the requested PCN in compliance with Criteria No. 6, as the business provides unique products (Asian groceries) not readily available throughout the City, is a minimum of 20,000 square feet (the proposed floor area is 20,121 square feet), the sales area of alcohol product is limited to 10% of the floor area (the proposed floor area dedicated to alcohol is 153 square feet), and the use is not located within ½ mile of another grocery store (Walmart is located approximately ¾ of a mile to the east by car).

Fact #1: A grocery store with the general sale of alcoholic beverages is a common and acceptable business practice.
Fact #2: The site is located at 8160 Day Creek Boulevard, on the south side of Foothill Boulevard between Day Creek Boulevard. Foothill Boulevard is designated as a major thoroughfare and the site is suited for this type of business.
Fact #3: The Census Tract in which the site is located (22.07) currently contains Five (5) off-sale ABC licenses. This includes Food4Less, Chevron Gas Station, Walmart, Total Wine & More, and Arco Gas Station.
Fact #4: The business is located within a retail shopping center, which does not contain any sensitive users, such as daycare facilities, schools, and/or churches.
Fact #5: Rancho Cucamonga residents would be afforded more convenient opportunities with the addition of a new grocery store that sells international food in addition to beer and wine to the current selection of off-sale retail locations. Only approximately 153 square feet will be allocated for the display and sale of beer and wine.
Based on the above analysis, staff finds that the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control Off- Sale beer and wine license (Type-20) at the site will not have a negative impact to the surrounding uses.
Environmental Assessment: The Planning & Economic Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the CEQA. The project qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, which covers the permitting of existing structures that involve negligible or no expansion of use beyond the existing at the time of the lead agency’s original determination. The project consists of issuing a PCN determination for a new business with minor interior modifications of the building. Staff finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment in that the building was intended to be used by a commercial tenant.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Allowing for the public convenience or necessity, in this case, will allow the business to sell beer and wine, which will induce additional sales at this location, thus increase sales tax revenue for the City.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
For reasons discussed in this report, staff notes that the project will achieve the City Council’s Core Value to “Promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all” by providing unique Asian produce with the added beer and wine option for the community.

RESOLUTION NO. 2023-029
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A DETERMINATION OF
PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY (DRC2022-00385) FOR
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES FOR OFF-SITE CONSUMPTION
(TYPE-20 OFF-SALE BEER AND WINE) FOR A GROCERY STORE
(METRO SUPERMARKET) LOCATED IN THE CENTER 2 (CE2) ZONE AT 8160 DAY CREEK BOULEVARD; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF– APN: 0229-021-73
WHEREAS, Metro Supermarket, filed an application for a Public Convenience or Necessity determination DRC2022-00385 as described in the title of this Resolution, for a Type-20 (off-sale beer and wine), license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Public Convenience or Necessity request is referred to as "the application." WHEREAS, Section 23958 of the Business and Professional Code requires the City of Rancho Cucamonga to make a determination on whether the issuance of the said license will service the public convenience or necessity.
WHEREAS, On the 15th day of March 2023, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga reviewed said application prior to the adoption of this Resolution.
WHEREAS, All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-referenced public hearing on March 15, 2023, including written and oral staff reports, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The site is located with Census Tract 22.07 on property addressed 8160 Day Creek Boulevard, on the south side of Foothill Boulevard; and b. The California Department of Alcoholic Beverages Control permits up to four (4) active off-sale retail licenses to exist within Census Tract 22.07 and five (5) licenses currently exist in the census tract; and
c. The request for a 6th off-sale retail license will overconcentrate the census tract.
Pursuant to Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4 an “undue concentration” of off-sale retail license applications exists under either the following two scenarios: (1) “The applicant premises are located in a crime reporting district that has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes . . . than the average number of reported crimes as determined from all crime reporting districts within the jurisdiction of the local law enforcement agency;” or (2) “the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to population in the census tract or census division in which the applicant premises are located exceeds the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to population in the
Resolution No. 2023-XXX – Page 2 of 3
ATTACHMENT 7
county in which the applicant premises are located.” According to ABC’s online database, Census Tract 22.07 has five (5) existing off-sale licenses. This means an undue concentration of off-sale licenses exists within the census tract if another off- sale license is issued; and
d. The business is located within a retail shopping center, which does not contain any sensitive users, such as day care facilities, schools, and/or churches; and e. The business will not operate 24-hours a day as the proposed hours of operation are Monday to Sunday from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm.
f. The business will provide for crime prevention through environmental design measures as recommended by the Police Department and approved by the Planning Department.
g. The business is proposed to be located within an existing commercial tenant space which is designed to facilitate efficient emergency response pursuant to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design best practices. No improvements associated with the proposed PCN will result in adverse circumstances which will prohibit or delay adequate crime prevention measures.
h. Rancho Cucamonga residents would be afforded more convenient opportunities with the addition of a new grocery store that sells international food (Asian products) in addition to beer and wine to the current selection of off-sale retail locations; and i. With the imposition of a condition recommended by the City and set forth in Section 5, the retailer will operate the business in a manner that would not result in a change of use from a market to a liquor store in violation of the City's Development Code; and
3. Based upon the findings set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, and with the condition specified in Section 5, this City Council concludes that the issuance of an off-sale beer and wine license for Metro Supermarket will not have a negative impact to the surrounding uses.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this City Council hereby determines that with the imposition of the condition specified in Section 5, the issuance of an off-sale liquor license for Metro Supermarket will service the Public Convenience or Necessity.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this City Council hereby approves the request for a Public Convenience or Necessity determination subject to the conditions set forth below, Planning Department:
1. The area devoted to the display and sale of alcoholic beverages shall be limited to a maximum 10% of floor area. Any increase above and beyond this limit will result in Code Enforcement action and ultimately to the revocation of the store's business license.
6. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution Authorizing Application to, and Participation in, the State Prohousing Designation Program. (RESOLUTION NO. 2023- 030) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution authorizing application to, and participation in, the Prohousing Designation Program and authorize the City Manager to execute any documents necessary or appropriate as required for application to and participation in the Prohousing Designation Program.
BACKGROUND:
The 2019-2020 State budget established the Prohousing Designation Program as part of a broader spectrum of support, incentives, and accountability measures to help meet California’s housing goals. The Prohousing Designation Program, administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), provides incentives to cities and counties in the form of additional points and/or other preference in the scoring of competitive housing, community development, and infrastructure funding programs. Additionally, cities with a Prohousing Designation are eligible for direct funding assistance through the new Prohousing Incentive Pilot (PIP) Program. The PIP Program offers $25.7 million in additional funding on a competitive basis to Prohousing cities to help accelerate housing production and preservation.
ANALYSIS:
Awarding of the Prohousing designation is considered “over the counter” and is not competitive.
Any jurisdiction that meets the threshold criteria, which Rancho Cucamonga does, could potentially be awarded the Prohousing Designation. Applicants are required to demonstrate that policies that significantly contribute to the acceleration of housing production have been enacted or are proposed to be enacted. Jurisdictions must receive a minimum score of 30 on the application. The scoring criteria are separated into four categories:
•Favorable Zoning and Land Use
•Acceleration of Housing Production and Timeframes
•Reduction of Construction and Development Costs
•Providing Financial Subsidies
1 7
2 0
Applicants are required to score points in each of the four categories. Policies identified as “proposed” must be implemented within two years.
To date, 10 California cities and counties have received their Prohousing Designation. With the launch of the PIP Program, it is expected that many more jurisdictions will be seeking the designation. For the purpose of calculating the PIP funding award, eligible applicants receive a base award based on population as well as a bonus award based on the Prohousing Designation score multiplied by 10,000, up to $500,000. For example, an eligible applicant with a Prohousing Designation score of 35 points will be eligible to receive up to a $350,000 bonus award in addition to the base award. For Rancho Cucamonga, the total PIP funding award would be from $1,450,000 to $1,650,000, depending on points awarded on the application. Jurisdictions receiving the Prohousing Designation are automatically considered for PIP funding. No additional application submittal is necessary.
Unlike the Prohousing Designation Program, funding awards from the PIP program are competitive, with applicants being ranked based on their Prohousing designation points on a regional basis. Awards will be funded until the PIP funds are depleted.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no cost to participate in the Prohousing Designation Program. If the City is successful in receiving PIP funding award, those funds would be designated towards programs and activities that accelerate housing production or preservation.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
Providing housing opportunities supports the City Council’s Vision of creating an equitable, sustainable, and vibrant city rich in opportunity for all to thrive and supports the Council Core Value of Equitable prosperity for all.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA,
CALIFORNIA, REPEALING CHAPTER 9.34 OF THE RANCHO
CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE TO END THE NARCOTICS
AND GANG-RELATED CRIME EVICTION PROGRAM, AND
MAKING A DETERMINATION THAT THE ORDINANCE IS
EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
ACT
I. Recitals.
A. The City of Rancho Cucamonga (“City”) has not enforced the Narcotics and Gang-Related Crime Eviction Program (“Program”), found at Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Chapter 9.34, in many years due to legal questions surrounding the Program.
B. The City Council desires to repeal the Chapter 9.34 in light of the fact that the City has not enforced, and does not intend to enforce, the Program going forward.
II. Findings.
A. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the City’s local CEQA Guidelines, the City Council finds that adoption of this Ordinance is covered by general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The City Council finds that there is no possible significant effect directly related to adoption of this Ordinance, therefore no further action is required under CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR § 15061(b)(3)). This is because this Ordinance will result in no potential development that could have an environmental impact.
III. Ordinance.
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Chapter 9.34 (Narcotics and Gang-Related Crime Eviction Program) of Title 9 (Public Peace, Morals, and Welfare) is hereby repealed in its entirety.
SECTION 2. The City Council declares that, should any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance for any reason be held invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 3. Neither the adoption of this Ordinance nor the repeal of any other Ordinance of this City shall in any manner affect the prosecution for violations of ordinances, which violations were committed prior to the effective date hereof, nor be construed as a waiver of any penalty or the penal provisions applicable to any violation thereof.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider and Conduct First Reading of Ordinance No. 1017 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. The City has Prepared an Addendum to the General Plan EIR (SCH No. 2021050261) for the Project. (ORDINANCE NO. 1017) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt an Addendum to the General Plan Environmental Impact Report and Climate Action Plan and conduct a first reading of Ordinance No. 1017, approving proposed text amendments to the Development Code.
BACKGROUND:
On December 15, 2021, the City Council adopted the updated General Plan for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. 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 addressed 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 advances 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. 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.
On December 13, 2023, Planning and Economic Development staff presented “Phase I” of these clean-up and clarifying amendments to the Planning Commission at which point the Commission
1 7
1 6
voted unanimously to recommend the City Council approve the recommended amendments which that body did on January 18, 2023. This action also included amendments to the Zoning Map and General Plan Land Map.
Planning Commission Hearing
On February 22, 2023, staff presented another set of amendments to the Planning Commission as part of “Phase II” of the development code amendments. The Planning Commission reviewed those amendments, and after deliberating, unanimously recommended (four in favor, none against, with one absent) that the City Council approve the subject Phase II set of amendments, with a recommendation that certain language in Chapter 17.89 be clarified. Specifically, the Commission referenced Section 17.89.010(B) (Applicability) and 17.89.040(L) (Legal Nonconforming) relative to Automobile Service Stations, stating that this language was unclear.
The Commission also to requested staff amend and correct various minor typographical errors for the Council’s benefit in Chapter 17.89 (Automobile Service Stations) and at various points in Article IX (Glossary). These edits have been made and are included in both the attached Ordinance and redlines for Council’s review.
As has previously been described to the Council, the Development Code and General Plan are living documents in that they are intended to change over time to reflect the evolving complexity of the development review process. Further, the Council will recall that staff will be proposing a series of changes to continually calibrate the development code to effectuate the general plan’s long-range vision throughout 2023. Thus, staff is now proposing a second phase of development code amendments, with the expectation that additional amendments may be forthcoming later in 2023.
ANALYSIS:
For this second phase of amendments, the Development Code text amendments consist of various technical amendments to Articles III, IV, V, VIII, and IX. The technical amendments involve formatting and typographic error fixes, as well as various text changes, including but not limited to:
1. Amendments to Article III amending street connectivity standards in single-family residential zones;
2. Amendments to Article IV amending accessory structure standards and screening standards within form-based zones;
3. Amendments to Article V amending standards for automobile service stations and smoke shops citywide, and height restrictions for wireless telecommunication facilities in form- based zones;
4. Amendments to Article VIII amending various standards within form-based zones related to building height, façade and building articulation, establishing development standards and revised building types in the NE2 zone changes to the form-based zone land use table for consistency in applicability across all form-based zones, requiring that subdivisions over 3 acres in size comply with large site development requirements, revise block standards in form-based zones, amend height and step-back standards related to new development in form-based zones which is adjacent to zones with lower density or height limitations, and clarifying non-residential use mix requirements;
5. Amendments to Article IX amending various definitions for automobile service stations and smoke and tobacco shops
1 7
1 6
Development Code Text Amendments:
1. Article III
a. Street Connectivity Standards (Chapter 17.36, Section 17.36.010):
Proposed amendments to Article III establish additional street connectivity standards for all new developments in single-family residential zones. For example, future development will be required to provide through streets without cul-de-sacs, and dead-end streets will only be allowed to provide future connectivity to adjacent development. Implementing these standards will improve circulation for residents, improve response times for emergency services and reduce vehicle miles traveled.
2. Article IV
a. Accessory Structure Development Standards (Chapter 17.42, Section 17.42.040):
Amendments to Article 4 edits Table 17.42.040-1, which provides development standards for accessory structures. Prior to these edits, this table led to confusion between front setback and what is referred to as the front yard, or those areas between the street and the house that are located outside of the front setback. Due to this confusion, it was unclear to staff whether certain structures could be located in the front yard as long as they remained outside of the front setback. This amendment clarifies that certain open structures with a solid roof (i.e. patio cover, gazebo), is permitted in the front yard but still prohibited from being located in the front setback.
b. Screening Standards with Form-Based Zones (Chapter 17.48, Section
17.48.050.D.4):
This amendment clarifies that materials, supplies, equipment, loading docks, trucks, and trailers shall be stored within an enclosed building or an area screening from public view within form-based zones. Screening requirements, particularly within ME1 and ME2, are critical as these are formbased zones which permit a variety of medium to high intensity uses where buildings front streets creating vibrant hubs of activity. Establishing clear screening requirements facilitates this desired neighborhood form.
3. Article V
a. Automobile Service Station Standards (Chapter 17.89):
On March 17, 2021, the City Council directed the City Manager to research and compile information about service stations in the city in response to a variety of concerns which had been raised by residents over and to consider how service stations may factor into the General Plan’s vision for land use and economic development. This analysis included but was not limited to analyzing the number and location of existing service stations in the City, analysis of land use benefits of these uses to the community, costs of providing public safety services at service station locations, and the consideration of possible performance standards and/or conditions that could be placed on service stations to promote optimal community benefit. On April 21, 2021, the City Council conducted a special study session enacting a moratorium on service stations until such time that staff could sufficiently analyze issues raised. On April 6, 2022, this moratorium was extended to April 20, 2023.
1 7
1 6
This amendment establishes a new chapter for Automobile Service Station standards which ensures that these uses will effectuate the vision of the general plan by:
i. Establishing separation, distance, and adjacency requirements from sensitive uses. For example, automobile service stations shall be located no closer than 1,000 linear feet to other automobile service stations and not more than two stations are permitted at any intersection; ii. Promoting and preserving public health, safety, convenience and the general welfare of the community by ensuring that automobile service stations will not create pedestrian and vehicular traffic impacts. For example, new standards establish that the minimum site area for automobile service stations is 40,000 square feet and that no more than two driveways shall be provided to any street from a property which includes an automobile service station;
iii. Regulating that the design and operation of automobile service stations will mitigate any impacts associated with these uses, including traffic, excessive pavement, lighting, litter, hazardous material and noise. For example, new standards require that building placement and frontages be consistent with form-based zoning requirements, and new operational standards ensure safe and convenient access by regulating site maintenance, location of trash facilities, noise impacts, placement of mechanical equipment like hydraulic hoists be located indoors; iv. Supplementing the standards in the underlying zones within which these uses are located. These new operational standards include regulations for ancillary uses such as convenience stores, car washes and vehicle repair shops to ensure that these will be complimentary, and not detrimental to, the surrounding neighborhood. For example, alcohol sales related to ancillary uses of automobile service stations located in overconcentrated census tracts will be prohibited, and ancillary services will also be prohibited from operating 24 hours a day.
Lastly, the proposed amendments include language regulating the discontinuation of an automobile service station or related structure, as well as establishing regulations for automobile service stations which may become legal nonconforming as a result of the adoption of this proposed amendment.
Specifically, these legal nonconforming regulations provide that existing automobile service stations may not be modified (enlarged, extended, reconstructed or moved to another location of the subject parcel unless the station is modified to improve soil, ground water and storm water quality, made to improve traffic safety, and be made to enable zero-emissions vehicles b. Smoke Shops (Chapter 17.102, Section 17.102.040):
Over the course of the past few years, and in response to concerns received from the community, city staff from Healthy RC as well as the Youth Leaders, a community group comprised of high school-aged volunteers, began researching these concerns related to the proximity of smoke shops to sensitive uses, such as schools and parks. Consultation with Rancho Cucamonga Sherriff’s Department
1 7
1 6
confirms that there is a correlation between the proximity of these uses to schools and parks and the instances of sales of tobacco products, including vaping, to minors. Currently, the code establishes a 200-foot distance requirement of such uses from schools and parks. The proposed amendments increase this separation requirement to 1,000 linear feet. In addition, this amendment also establishes signage regulations intended to deter minors from entering such businesses without a parent or legal guardian, places a maximum percentage of the floor area which can be dedicated to selling tobacco paraphernalia, and establishes provisions for smoke shops which would be made nonconforming as a result of the adoption of this section.
c. Height Standards for Wireless Facilities in Form-Based Zones (Chapter, 17.106, Section 17.106.040.D):
This amendment establishes height standards for wireless facilities in form-based zones. Prior to this proposed amendment, the code provided height standards for wireless facilities which did not account for wireless facilities in form-based zones.
This amendment corrects this inconsistency by providing clear height standards for all applicable form-based zones.
4. Article VIII
a. Height and Massing for Projects Adjacent to Existing Residential (Chapter 17.130, Section 17.130.030.J.1-3):
To better calibrate new development, which is located next to existing single-family residential zones, staff proposes amendments and clarifying language which requires that fifth stories and above of new development be stepped back an additional eight feet from the fourth story along interior rear and side facades.
Further, this amendment also clarifies similar step-backs for fourth stories on new development adjacent to single-family residential zones, relative to interior rear and side facades.
b. Vertical Articulation Standards (Chapter 17.130, Section 17.130.030.L, 1-3):
This amendment clarifies language related to vertical articulation for upper stories of new development, and also establishes that when building facades exceed 400 feet along a right- ofway, vertical breaks at least 60 feet wide and 40 feet deep shall be provided. The resultant areas created by these spaces shall be required to provide pedestrian amenities and be accessible to the public This additional articulation and revised standards aide in creating a pedestrian-scaled building mass along frontages that creates a welcoming, safe streetscape. c. Clarifying Height Limitations and Floor Area Ratio (Chapter 17.130, Table
17.130.050-1):
This amendment eliminates height limits for new buildings adjacent to lower density residential zones within the ME2, CO1 and CO2 zones in lieu of the revised standards related to interior side and rear yards described previously. This amendment also clarifies that Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is applicable only to non- residential portions of development, including non-residential portions of mixed- use development.
1 7
1 6
d. New Building Type and Related Standards (Chapter 17.130, Table 17.130.060-1 and Section 17.130.060):
Changes to this table propose adding the “Main Street” building type as a permitted building type to the NE2 zone. These changes also introduce a new “Large House” building type as an allowable building type in the NE2 zone, which is a predominately single-family residential zone which permits a limited variety of nonresidential uses. Corresponding changes to Section 17.130.060.K establish development standards for the Large House building type. e. Building Entrances and Facades (Chapter 17.132, Table 17.132.030-1):
Related to the corresponding amendments which allow the Main Street building type within the NE2 zone, Table 17.132.030-1 has been updated to permit the “Shopfront and Gallery, Arcade, Terrace, and Recessed Variations,” Building Entrance and Façade Type within the NE2 zone.
f. Allowed Land Use Standards (Chapter 17.136, Table 17.136.020-1):
Currently, Table 17.136.020-1 provides that Assembly Uses, where permitted, require a Minor Use Permit in all conventional and form-based zones, except CE1, CE2, ME1 and ME2 where they are permitted by right. This inconsistency had led to confusion internally. Thus, staff proposes an amendment to where Assembly Uses would require a Minor Use Permit in all zones. This would establish consistency in review and ensure that staff is able to properly analyze and condition any impacts which may occur as a result of this use. This amendment also eliminates Automobile Service Stations as a use permitted within form-based zones, consistent with changes to Automobile Service Station standards. g. Various Changes to Large Site Development Standards (Chapter 17.138, Sections
17.138.010.C and 17.138.030.G-I):
Various amendments to these referenced sections include refinements to form- based code standards to better calibrate new development to the General Plan vision. These proposed amendments include: 1) requiring new subdivision maps over three acres in size located within form-based zones to comply with Large Site Development Standards; 2) revising Table 17.138.030-1 by establishing block size standards for the Neighborhood General 2 (NE2) zone and reducing maximum perimeter block sizes within the Corridor 1 (CO1) and Corridor 2 (CO2) zones from 2,000 feet to 1,700 feet to better provide pedestrian-scaled blocks; and 3) clarifying language related to height transitions related to new development adjacent to zones with lower maximum density or lower height limits, specifically that any height restrictions which apply in this case apply to buildings across the entire development site, with the exception that any buildings which are located entirely more than 60 feet or more away from a shared lot line are not subject to the height restrictions.
h. Clarifying Non-residential Use Mix (Chapter 17.138, Section 17.138.030.J):
Currently, related to non-residential use mix standards within form-based zones, there are standards provided in Section 17.130.040.B, as well as in Section
17.138.030.J, Table 17.138.030- 2. It is unclear how these standards relate, and this has led to confusion in the application of this standard. Staff proposes an amendment which provides that when there is a conflict between these two sections, the most restrictive standards apply.
1 7
1 6
5. Article IX
a. Changes to Universal Definitions (Chapters 17.140 and 17.154):
Amendments to this section include proposed new and updated definitions for automobile service stations and smoke shops (Chapter 17.140) and terms related to revised form-based code standards (Chapter 17.154).
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 centers can help Rancho Cucamonga maintain a high level of fiscal performance and become a regional destination and focal point of activity
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(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, and 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 D ecember 2021 (State Clearinghouse No. 2021050261), demonstrates that the analysis in the General Plan EIR adequately addresses the potential physical impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project and that none of the conditions described i n 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 environmental 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 examined 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
(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 significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects requiring major revisions to the General Plan EIR. The following a nalysis 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 agenc y's findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation 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 and include changes to Articles III, IV, V , VIII and IX.
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
1. Article III
a. (Street Connectivity Standards, Chapter 17.36, Section 17.36.010):
Proposed amendments to Article III establish additional street connectivity standards for all new developments in single-family zones. For example, future development will be required to provide through streets without cul-de-sacs, and dead-end streets will only be allowed to provide future connectivity to adjacent development. Implementing these standards will improve circulation for residents, improve response times for emergency services and reduce vehicle miles traveled.
2. Article IV
a. (Accessory Structure Development Standards, Chapter 17.42, Section 17.42.040):
Amendments to Article 4 edits Table 17.42.040- 1, which provides development standards for accessory structures. Prior to these edits, this table led to confusion between front setback and what is referred to as the front yard, or those areas between the street and the house that are located outside of the front setback. Due to this confusion, it was unclear to staff whether certain structures could be located in the front yard as long as they remained outside of the front setback.
This amendment clarifies that certain open structures with a solid roof (i.e. patio cover, gazebo), is permitted in the front yard but still prohibited from being located in the front setback. Also, b. (Screening Standards with Form-Based Zones, Chapter 17.48, Section 17.48.050.D.4) This amendment clarifies that materials, supplies, equipment, loading docks, trucks, and trailers shall be stored within an enclosed building or an area screening from public view within form- based zones. Screening requirements , particularly within ME1 and ME2 , are critical as form - based zones permit a variety of medium to high intensity uses where buildings front streets creating vibrant hubs of activity. Establishing clear screening requirements facilitates this desired neighborhood form.
3. Article V
a. (Automobile Service Station Standards, Chapter 17.89) On March 17, 2021, the City Council directed the City Manager to research and compile information about service stations in the city in response to a variety of concerns which had been raised by residents over and to consider how service stations may factor into the General Plan’s vision for land use and economic development. This analysis included but was not limited to analyzing the number and location of existing service stations in the City, analysis of land use benefits of these uses to the community, costs of providing public safety services at service station locations, and the consideration of possible performance standards and/or conditions that could be placed on service stations to promote optimal community benefit. On April 21, 2021, the City Council conducted a special study session enacting a moratorium on service stations until such time that staff could sufficiently analyze issues raised. On April 6, 2022, this moratorium was extended to April 20, 2023.
This amendment establishes a new chapter for Automobile Service Station standards which ensures that these uses will effectuate the vision of the general plan by:
ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR
i. Establishing separation, distance and adjacency requirements from sensitive uses. For example, automobile service stations shall be located no closer than 1,000 linear feet to other automobile service stations and not more than two stations are permitted at any intersection;
ii. Promoting and preserving public health, safety, convenience and the general welfare of the community by ensuring that automobile service stations will not create pedestrian and vehicular traffic impacts. For example, new standards establish that the minimum site area for automobile service stations is 40,000 square feet and that no more than two driveways shall be provided to any street from a property which includes an automobile service station;
iii. Regulating that the design and operation of automobile service stations will mitigate any impacts associated with these uses, including traffic, excessive pavement, lighting, litter, hazardous material and noise. For e xample, new standards r equire that building placement and frontages be consistent with form-based zoning requirements, and new operational standards ensure safe and convenient access by regulating site maintenance, location of trash facilities, noise impacts, placeme nt of mechanical e quipment like hydraulic hoists be located indoors;
iv. Supplementing t he standards in the underlying zones w ithin which these uses are located. These new operational standards include regulations for ancillary uses such as convenience stores, car washes and vehicle repair shops to ensure that these will be complimentary, and not detrimental to, the surrounding neighborhood. For example, alcohol sales for ancillary uses of service stations located within overconcentrated census tracts will be prohibited, as will 24 hour services for ancillary uses.
Lastly, the proposed amendments include language regulating the discontinuation of an automobile service station or related structure, as well as establishing regulations for automobile service stations which may become legal nonconforming as a result of the adoption of this proposed amendment. Specifically, these legal nonconforming regulations provide that existing automobile service stations may not be modified (enlarged, extended, reconstructed or moved to another location of the subject parcel unless the station is modified to improve soil, ground water and storm water quality, made to improve traffic safety, and be made to enable zero-emissions vehicles. b. (Smoke Shops , Chapter 17.102, Section 17.102.040).
Over the course of the past few years, and in response to concerns received from the community, city staff from Healthy RC as well as the Youth Leaders, a community group comprised of high school-aged volunteers, beg an researching these concerns related to the proximity of smoke shops to sensitive uses, such as schools and parks. Consultation with Rancho Cucamonga Sherriff’s Department confirms that there is a correlation between the proximity of these uses t o
s
chools and parks and the instances of sales of tobacco products, including vaping, to minors.
Currently, the code establishes a 200 -foot distance requirement of such uses from schools and

parks. The proposed amendments increase this separation requirement to 1,0 00 linear feet. In addition, this amendment also establishes signage regulations intended to deter minors from entering such businesses without a parent or legal guardian, places a maximum percentage of the floor area which can be dedicated to selling tobacco paraphernalia, and establishes provisions for smoke shops which would be made nonconforming as a result of the adoption of this section. c
. (Height Standards for Wireless Facilities in Form -Based Zones, Chapter, 17.106, Section
17.106.040.D).
This amendment establishes height standards for wireless facilities in form-based zones. Prior to this proposed amendment, the code provided height standards for wireless facilities which did not account for wireless facilities in form -based zones. This amendment cor rects this inconsistency by providing clear height standards for all applicable form-based zones.

a. (He
ight and Massing for Projects Adjacent to Existing Residential, Chapter 17.130, Section
17.130.030.J.1-3)
To better calibrate new development which is located next to existing single -family residential z
ones, staff proposes amendments and clarifying language which requires that fifth stories and above of new development be stepped back an additional eight feet from the fourth story a long i
nterior rear and side facades. Further, this amendment also clarifies similar step-backs for fourth s
tories on new development adjacent to single-family residential zones. b. (
Vertical Articulation Standards, Chapter 17.130, Section 17.130.030.L, 1-3) This amendment clarifies language related to vertical articulation for upper stories of new development, and also establishes that when building facades exceed 400 feet along a right - of- way, vertical breaks at least 60 feet wide and 40 feet deep shall be provided. The resultant areas created by these spaces shall be required to provide pedestrian amenities and be accessible to the public This additional articulation and revised standards aide in creating a pedestrian -scaled building mass along frontages that creates a welcoming, safe streetscape. c
. (Clarifying Height Limitations and Floor Area Ratio, Chapter 17.130, Table 17.130.050-1) This amendment eliminates height limits for new buildings adjacent to lower density residential zones within the ME2, CO1 a nd CO2 zones. This amendment also clarifies that Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is applicable only to non -residential portions of development, including non- residential portions of mixed-use development.
d. (
New Building Type and Related Standards, Chapter 17.130, Table 17.130.060 -1 and Section
17.130.060)
Changes to this table propose adding the “Main Street” building type as a permitted building type to the NE2 zone. These changes also introduce a new “Large House” building type as an allowable building type in the NE2 zone, which is a predominately single-family residential zone where a limited amount of nonresidential neighborhood serving uses are permitted .
Corresponding changes to Section 17.130.060.K establish development standards for the Large House building type.

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR
Related to the corresponding amendments which allow the Main Street building type within the NE2 zone, Table 17.132.030-1 has been updated to permit the “Shopfront and Gallery, Arcade, Terrace, and Recessed Variations,” Building Entrance and Façade Type within the NE2 zone. f. (
Allowed Land Use Standards, Chapter 17.136, Table 17.136.020-1) Currently, Table 17.136.020-1 provides that Assembly Uses require a Minor Use Permit in all form-based zones, except CE1, CE2, ME1 and M E2 where they are permitted by right. This inconsistency had led to confusion internally. Thus, staff proposes an amendment to where Assembly Uses would require a Minor Use Permit in all form-based zones. This would establish consistency in review and ensure that staff is able to properly analyze and condition any impacts which may occur as a result of this use. To be clear, staff proposes that Assembly Uses not be permitted within the NE2 form- based zone. This amendment also eliminates Automobile Service S tations as a use permitted within form -based zones, consistent with changes to Automobile Service Station standards.
g. (V
arious Changes to Large Site Development Standards, Chapter 17.138, Sections 17.138.010.C and 17.138.030.G-I)
Various amendments to thes e referenced sections include refinements to form -based code standards to better calibrate new development to the General Plan vision. These proposed amendments include: 1) requiring new subdivision tract maps over three acres in size located form-based zo nes to comply with Large Site Development Standards; 2) revising Table
17.138.030-1 by establishing block size standards for the Neighborhood General 2 (NE2) zone and reducing maximum perimeter block sizes within the Corridor 1 (CO1) and Corridor 2 (CO2) zones from 2,000 feet to 1,700 feet so as to better provide pedestrian -scaled blocks; and 3) clarifying language related to height transitions related to new development adjacent to zones with lower maximum density or lower height limits, specifically that any height restrictions which apply in this case apply to buildings across the entire development site, with the exception that any buildings which are located entirely more than 60 feet or more away from a shared lot line are not subject to the height restrictions.
h. (
Clarifying Non-residential Use Mix, Chapter 17.138, Section 17.138.030.J) Currently, related to non -residential use mix standards within form -based zones, there are standards provided in Section 17.130.040.B, as well as in Section 17.138.030.J, Table 17.138.030-
2. I
t is unclear how these standards relate, and this has led to confusion in the application of this standard. Staff proposes an amendment which provides that when there is a conflict between these two sections, the most restrictive standards apply. i. (
Changes to Universal Definitions, Chapters 17.140, and 17.154, various sections) Amendments to this section include proposed new and updated definitions for automobile service stations and smoke shops (Chapter 17.140), and terms relate d to form- based code standards (Chapter 17.154).

Table 1: Proposed Major Development Code Revisions
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 , transp ortation, 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 i ndicated 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 of the General Plan.
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, state 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. Consequently, the changes to the Development Code 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 certified as complete demonstrating that the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR.
ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
2. CEQA Analysis
October 2022 Page 11
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 se Measures will continue to apply to all development in the City and will have the same mitigating effect s 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. 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 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.
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. 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 mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more

2. CEQA Analysis
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. 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 appropriate environmental document as authorized by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) is an addendum.

Randy McChure, resident, expressed the following concerns:
•Street reduction to one lane in front of his house @ 5605 Archibald Ave. •Measurement of wall height
Elaine Carvalho, resident, requests a copy of the survey of the property line that was promised at the November meeting. She would like a copy before construction begins to verify the placement of property line. Regarding the parcel map, the staff report indicates 1.93 acres, but the San Bernardino assessors map indicates 1.68 acres.
Joshua Flores, an associate pastor at church located on the Southeast side of property spoke of concerns of the retaining wall and wants to make sure the soils compaction/stabilization will be reviewed accordingly.
Shiv Talwar, Applicant, answered the following concerns:
•Size of parcel - will be certified by a professional land surveyor. •Retaining wall - He understands their concerns.
Chair Dopp closed Public Hearing.
Tabe van der Zwaag, explained how the wall height was calculated.
Brian Sandona, Senior Civil Engineer, explained that street and right of way improvements are made as properties develop. Should the property to the north develop or redevelop, then street and right of way improvements will take place. There will be one lane, in that location like the current condition. That one portion will be shorter for the time being, until the north lot is developed.
Commissioner Boling asked if the lot to the north is vacant or does it have structure on it.
Brian Sandona stated it does have structure on it. The frontage on Archibald is not constructed.
Commissioner Boling asked when would the requirement for the property owner need to fund and construct making sure the street frontage gets done.
Brian Sandona answered it will occur upon development or redevelopment of the property. Any addition or development greater than 650 sq. ft. would trigger frontage improvements.
Commissioner Boling asked for confirmation that the timing of frontage improvements up to the property owner and whether they want to fund and complete now or would be required by the City if they were to redevelop their property such that it triggers the requirement.
Brian Sandona replied yes.
Commissioner Daniels asked if there would be fencing or barricades.
Brian Sandona stated that the Engineering department would work with the applicants engineer, to create a transition so it is safe.
Commissioner Boling requested Staff to indicate the dates of legal notices for the record.
Staff responded as follows:

Jennifer Nakamura stated that the project plans are conceptual. Sometimes, when completing their final building documents, occasionally discrepancies or issues arise, and staff works with developer to rectify those problems. We will make sure that the correct and accurate information is displayed on the final plans and, the final map will go to the County for final verification and accuracy.
Commissioner Boling said the proposed parcel split and construction of the two-single family homes helps achieve the city’s housing objectives. The proposed project is well designed, and it considers potential use of the Equestrian trails and compliments the existing neighborhood character. He wishes the applicant all the best as they move forward in building side by side their dream homes.
Vice Chair Morales stated the process to address the issues brought up tonight will be addressed at the appropriate time when it goes through its final steps. He also agrees, it’s a well-designed project for this neighborhood and it will enhance it.

Sean McPherson, Acting Principal Planner, presented Commissioners with a Staff Report and presentation (copy on file).
Chair Dopp opened Public Hearing and hearing no one, closed Public Hearing.
Commissioner Daniels asked about the requirements of service stations that sell alcohol and that there were concerns relating to the hours of operations and if that was addressed.
Sean McPherson responded with regards to service stations that sell alcohol, there are 28 census tracts in the city. Twenty-three (23) of which already include some form of off sale alcohol license and out of those eleven (11) are already over concentrated or significantly overconcentrated. Alcohol sales with regards to service stations has been something considered and factored into staff’s approach. He said as it is right now, the current proposal in the Code Amendment would be that any service station which exists in an overconcentrated census tract and requests a CUP to sell alcohol would not be supported.

Commissioner Daniels asked if the city has the authority over hours of operation.
Sean McPherson stated that for new gas stations with convenience stores and other similar uses 24-hour operations would be prohibited. Typically, calls such as service stations occur at certain hours to where it became practical for us to implement or propose a provision be added to the code to regulate hours of operations.
Commissioner Daniels asked how that will work to make service stations be non-conforming.
Sean McPherson replied where a convenience store sells alcohol tied to an existing service station would fall under legal non-conforming provisions of the code.
Commissioner Daniels asked what the max height for cell towers is.
Sean McPherson answered in form-based zones the new standard will be 50 ft.
Jennifer Nakamura mentioned the current code requires that the wireless tower not exceed the height limit for the zone of which it is being placed. She said in the form-based zones we don’t have overall height limits; they are story limits and that is why we had to institute a height requirement.
Commissioner Daniels mentioned in staff reports, acronyms are always used for the zones, and he has to look them up. He requested if they could explain what those zones are.
Sean McPherson indicated we would correct that for future reports.
Commissioner Boling stated so that Commissioners have a better understanding of what our decision-making impacts could be, he asked from staff for a census tract of which ones have businesses that do offer off sale alcohol and then which of those are overconcentrated in a map form. Having that available and periodically updated would be beneficial.
Sean McPherson responded that it could be put together in content of overconcentrated census tract in the future.
Commissioner Boling stated in legal non-conforming language, he asked do we need to specify where we identify any automobile service station that is unlawfully operating in the city and not conform to the provision shall be considered illegal and non-conforming use.
Sean McPherson responded on the recommended changes slide, last bullet point, has some added verbiage but will reword this section in prior to consideration by the City Council.
Commissioner Morales mentioned the development code amendment will align better with the General Plan itself. It cleans it up and creates alignment that we want.
Chair Dopp stated holistically speaking there are some things we have been seeing on this design review we have been asking for. He is happy to see Healthy RC involved for the teenagers can see action.
Chair Dopp stated he agreed with the direction we proposed for service stations. He expressed concerns about prohibiting cul-de-sacs. He indicated sometimes small cul-de-sacs are good options for single family developments to create community.

Jennifer Nakamura stated that housing accountability act requires us to have objective development standards and the General Plan strongly supports street connectivity. To maintain objectivity, prohibiting them provide a clear standard in the next code update we are considering adding an exception process to allow a developer to ask permission to build a cul-de-sac if there is a compelling reason why a cul-de-sac should be considered.
Commissioners Boling, Daniels and Morales concurred with Chair Dopp regarding cul-de-sacs.
Motion to adopt with recommended changes by Staff, Resolution 23-05 recommending to City Council for final action by Commissioner Daniels; second by Commissioner Boling. Motion carried unanimously 4-0-1 vote. Absent: Commissioner Williams.

The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Recitals.

B. The City is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California.
C. As shown in the Exhibits A through K of this Ordinance, the amendment proposes to amend Articles III, IV, V, VIII and IX of Title 17 of the Municipal Code to establish new and updated development standards.
D. On the February 22, 2023, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing with respect to the amendment and, following the conclusion thereof, adopted Resolution No. 23-05 recommending that the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopt said amendment with the recommendation that certain language be clarified relative to Automobile Service Stations in Chapter 17.89.
E. On March 15, 2023, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the amendment and concluded said hearing on that date.
F. All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
SECTION 2. Findings. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-referenced public hearing, this Council hereby finds and concludes that the changes proposed to Title 17 (Development Code) in the amendment are consistent with the Development Code and the General Plan’s goals, policies and implementation programs.
Pursuant to Section 17.22.040(C) of the Municipal Code, amendments to the Municipal Code “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 amendment is 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
Ordinance No. 1017 – Page 2 of 45
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 -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.”
SECTION 3. CEQA. 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 amendment does 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 amendment will not substantially increase the severity of effects relative to the environmental topics analyzed in the Certified FEIR, nor w ill the proposed a mendment require new mitigation measures or alternatives. Based on this evidence and all evidence in the record, the City Council concurs with Planning Department staff’s determination that the amendment 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 a mendment, along with the certified FEIR, and hereby adopts the addendum.

Notes:
1. The maximums allowed by zone may not be attainable due to limitations from other standards (e.g., building and design standards) or unique site characteristics, such as lot size, trees, waterways, and steep slopes.
2. FAR applies to non -residential portion of the development only, including non -residential portions of mixed-use development.
3. Maximum height in feet determined by building type, see Section 17.130.060. For properties within the Ontario Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (OALCP), the maximum height is established in the OALCP. The OALCP standard supersedes the maximum height allowed in this Article.
Density and FAR are calculated individually. When there are multiple development sites on a single property, individual development sites may deviate from minimum or maximum standards so long as the total site average FAR and Du/AC are within established limits.
