SUBJECT: Consideration to Order the Annexation to Landscape Maintenance District 1 and Release of Real Property Improvement Contract and Lien Agreement, Document No. 92-317285 Related to Case No. DRC2022- 00065, Located on the West Side of Sycamore Court and South of Wilson Avenue, 5770 Sycamore Court, APN: 0201-182-34. This Item is Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 3 Exemption under CEQA Section 15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. (RESOLUTION NO. 2023-032) (RESOLUTION NO. 2023-033) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve the attached resolution ordering the annexation into Landscape Maintenance District No. 1; and
2. Approve the attached resolution releasing the Real Property Improvement Contract and Lien Agreement for document no. 92-317285 and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to sign said resolution and allow its recordation.
BACKGROUND:
Case No. DRC2022-00065 was approved by the Planning Department on July 6, 2022, for the construction of a 3,329 square foot two-story single-family residence located on the west side of Sycamore Court and south of Wilson Avenue, at 5770 Sycamore Court, parcel 2 of Parcel Map 13692. The project was approved subject to conditions that the property be annexed into the Landscape Maintenance District 1 and a release of the Real Property Improvement Contract and Lien Agreement (Lien Agreement) recorded against the property be removed.
ANALYSIS:
The owner, Stapp Family Trust 02/24/03 submitted the Consent and Waiver to Annexation Form for Landscape Maintenance District 1. A copy of this form is on file with the City Clerk’s Office.
Additionally, the Lien Agreement recorded on July 30, 1992, as document number 92-317285 per Resolution No. 92-102 for Steven R. Luna and Monica A. Luna was submitted precedent to the recordation of Parcel Map 13692. The Lien Agreement was to guarantee the installation and completion of the frontage improvements at a later date as determined by the City along Parcel “A” (previously located at the northeast corner of the project area) to provide future public access

4 4
to Parcel 2 of Parcel Map 13692. Parcel 2 was granted an access easement through the property to the east, 5780 Sycamore Court, therefore, no longer requiring the frontage improvements along Parcel “A” as described in the Lien Agreement. On February 18, 2004, the City processed Resolution No. 04-027 summarily ordering the vacation of the irrevocable offer of Parcel “A” of Parcel Map 13692, an offer of dedication for future public access to Parcel 2. The vacation was recorded on March 15, 2004, as document number 2004-0176579.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
On July 6, 2022, the Planning Department staff determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as the project qualifies as a Class 3 exemption under CEQA Section 15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed annexation would supply additional annual revenue into the Landscape Maintenance District 1 in the following amount:
Landscape Maintenance District 1: $92.21
Further, the development will construct no new street trees that will need to be maintained by the City.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses the City Council’s vision for the City by ensuring construction of development that promotes a world class community.

DATE:April 5, 2023
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Elisa C. Cox, Assistant City Manager
Erika Lewis-Huntley, Management Analyst III
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Authorizing the City to Enter into Settlement Agreements with CVS, Allergan, Teva, Walmart, and Walgreens, Agree to the Terms of the Related State-Subdivision Agreements, and Authorizing Entry into the Related State-Subdivision Agreements with the Attorney General. (RESOLUTION NO. 2023-034) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-034, and authorize the City Manager to sign agreements, authorize direct receipt of all settlement funds, and take any other necessary or appropriate actions to implement the settlements.
BACKGROUND:
In 2021, nationwide settlements were reached to resolve all opioids litigation brought by states and local political subdivisions against the three largest pharmaceutical distributors—McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen (collectively, the “Distributors”)—and against manufacturer Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its parent company Johnson & Johnson (collectively, “J&J”). These “2021 National Settlements” were finalized in court judgments in April and May 2022, and payments have already begun. In all, the Distributors will pay up to $21 billion over 18 years, and J&J will pay up to an additional $5 billion over nine years. The City Council approved the Distributors and J&J Settlements by Resolution 2021-135 adopted on December 15, 2021, and elected direct payment of approximately $1.3 million in settlement funds over the next 15+ years for the specified uses related to opioid response, treatment, and prevention.
In late 2022, additional agreements were announced with three pharmacy chains—CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart—and two additional manufacturers—Allergan and Teva. In January 2023, each of those pharmacy chains and manufacturers confirmed that a sufficient number of states had agreed to the settlements to move forward.
ANALYSIS:
As with the 2021 National Settlements, states and local governments that want to participate in the 2022 National Settlements now have the opportunity to “opt in.” The greater the level of subdivision participation, the more funds will ultimately be paid out for abatement. Assuming maximum participation, the 2022 National Settlements require:
1 7
5 7
•Teva to pay up to $3.34 billion over 13 years and to provide either $1.2 billion of its generic version of the drug Narcan over 10 years or $240 million of cash in lieu of product, as each state may elect;
•Allergan to pay up to $2.02 billion over 7 years;
•CVS to pay up to $4.90 billion over 10 years;
•Walgreens to pay up to $5.52 billion over 15 years; and •Walmart to pay up to $2.74 billion in 2023, and all payments to be made within 6 years.
These figures include amounts attributable to prior settlements between the Defendants and certain states/subdivisions and amounts for attorneys’ fees and costs.
Under both the 2021 and 2022 National Settlements, at least 85% of the funds going directly to participating states and subdivisions must be used for abatement of the opioid epidemic, with the overwhelming bulk of the proceeds restricted to funding future abatement efforts by state and local governments.
California and its cities and counties stand to receive up to $1.8 billion in the 2022 National Settlement for substance use prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery. Payment timeframes vary by settlement and can last up to 15 years. Based on the allocation formula for cities, it is anticipated that the City of Rancho Cucamonga will receive an estimated $1,054,775 over the term of the settlement. Actual settlement amounts to be paid depend on the level of participation by eligible states and subdivisions, so the final amount may vary from this estimate.
Participating states and subdivisions will receive abatement proceeds through annual payments continuing over a period of years.
In addition to providing billions of dollars for abatement of the effects of the opioid epidemic in communities across the nation, the settlements also impose changes in the way the settling defendants conduct their business. For example:
•The Distributors will create a groundbreaking clearinghouse through which they will be required to account not only for their own shipments, but also the shipments of the other distributors, in order to detect, stop, and report suspicious opioids orders; •J&J (which ceased marketing opioids in 2015 and ceased selling opioids in 2020) will not market or sell any opioid products in the next ten years and has agreed to cease lobbying concerning prescription opioids for ten years;
•Teva and Allergan have agreed to strict limitations on their marketing, promotion, sale, and distribution of opioids, including a ban on: (1) promotion and lobbying; (2) rewarding or disciplining employees based on volume of opioid sales; and (3) funding or grants to third parties; and
•Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens are required to implement changes in how they handle opioids, including requirements addressing their compliance structures, pharmacist judgment, diversion prevention, suspicious order monitoring, and reporting on red-flag processes, as well as blocked and potentially problematic prescribers.
1 7
5 7
Cities and counties that wish to become initial participating subdivisions must sign and submit the Settlement Agreements and State Subdivision Agreements by April 18, 2023. Cities can then request direct payment of their settlement funds, or let the local allocation be paid to the County.
Staff recommends that the City elect direct payment of the settlement funds, as it did for the 2021 National Settlements. Cities that elect for direct payment must follow the use and reporting requirements of the Settlement Agreements. The settlements allow for a broad range of approved uses by state and local governments to abate the opioid epidemic. A list of approved uses (Exhibit E of the Settlement Agreements) is set forth in Attachment #2 to this staff report.
The City Attorney’s Office has participated in several countywide calls with the County Counsel’s Office to more fully understand the litigation and the potential benefits of the proposed settlements. The settlements are the product of years of litigation and settlement negotiations. All parties believe this is a fair settlement that brings significant funding to address the opioid epidemic.
It is recommended that the City participate in the settlement, approve the agreements, and retain the settlement funds over the coming years for programs and services to be developed to serve Rancho Cucamonga residents in accordance with the program guidelines.
FISCAL IMPACT:
By this action, the City would receive an estimated $1,054,775 in settlement funds over the next 15 years for the specified uses related to opioid response, treatment, and prevention.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This action promotes the Council’s core value of promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all.

9. As part of the settlements with the Settling Defendants, local subdivisions, including certain cities, that are not plaintiffs in the MDL may participate in the settlements in exchange for a release of the Settling Defendants.
10. Copies of the proposed terms of those proposed nationwide settlements have been set forth in the Master Settlement Agreements with the Settling Defendants.
11. Copies of the Master Settlement Agreements have been provided to the City Council with this Resolution.
12. The Settlement Agreements provide, among other things, for the payment of a certain sum to settling government entities in California including to the State of California and Participating Subdivisions upon occurrence of certain events as defined in the Settlement Agreements (“California Opioid Funds”).
13. California local governments in the MDL have engaged in extensive discussions with the State Attorney General’s Office (“AGO”) as to how the California Opioid Funds will be allocated, which has resulted in the Proposed California State-Subdivision Agreements Regarding Distribution and Use of Settlement Funds (“Allocation Agreements”) from the settlements with the Settling Defendants.
14. Copies of the Allocation Agreements for all of the settlements with the Settling Defendants have been provided with this Resolution.
15. The Allocation Agreements allocate the California Opioid Funds as follows: 15% to the State Fund; 70% to the Abatement Accounts Fund; and 15% to the Subdivision Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, all funds allocated to California from the Settlements shall be combined pursuant to the Allocation Agreements, and 15% of total from each settlement shall be allocated to the State of California (the “State of California Allocation”), 70% to the California Abatement Accounts Fund (“CA Abatement Accounts Fund”), and 15% to the California Subdivision Fund (“CA Subdivision Fund”).

The percentage from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund allocated to each CA Participating Subdivision is set forth in Appendix 1 to the Allocation Agreements and provided to the City Council with this Resolution. The City’s share of the CA
3 Abatement Accounts Fund will be a product of the total in the CA Abatement Accounts Fund multiplied by the City’s percentage set forth in Appendix 1 of the Allocation Agreements (the “Local Allocation”).
19. A CA Participating Subdivision that is a city will be allocated its Local Allocation share as of the date on which it becomes a Participating Subdivision. The Local Allocation share for a city that is a CA Participating Subdivision will be paid to the county in which the city is located, unless the city elects to take a direct election of the settlement funds, so long as: (a) the county is a CA Participating Subdivision, and (b) the city has not advised the Settlement Fund Administrator that it requests direct payment at least 60 days prior to a Payment Date.

These sites consist of several non-contiguous areas throughout the City. As such, the parcels within this District do not represent a distinct district area as do the other LMD’s within the City. Typically, new parcels within this District have been annexed upon development.
The various sites maintained by the District consist of parkways, median islands, paseos, street trees, entry monuments, community trails and parks. The parks consist of Bear Gulch Park, East and West Beryl Park, Old Town Park, Church Street Park, Golden Oaks Park, Hermosa Park, and the undeveloped Don Tiburcio Tapia Park.

SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Supporting Cal Cities in its Opposition to Ballot Measure – “The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act” (Initiative AG # 21-0042A1). (RESOLUTION NO. 2023-036) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council approve Resolution No. 2023-036, supporting Cal Cities in its opposition to ballot measure – “The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act” (Initiative AG # 21-0042A1).
BACKGROUND:
On January 4, 2022, the California Business Roundtable (CBRT) filed the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act (AG # 21-0042A1). On February 1, 2023, the measure qualified for the November 2024 ballot.
The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act would amend the California Constitution with provisions that limit voters’ authority and input, adopt new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and may make it more difficult to impose fines and penalties for violation of state and local laws. In 2022, CBRT attempted to place this measure on the November 2022 ballot. On March 2, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-033 supporting Cal Cities in its opposition to the ballot measure. Fortunately, the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act ultimately failed to obtain enough signatures to be included on the November 2022 ballot.
This is the third attempt from CBRT to advance this dangerous initiative. Cal Cities, along with a broad coalition of local governments, labor, public safety, education, and infrastructure advocates continue to strongly oppose this initiative.
ANALYSIS:
Local government revenue-raising authority is currently substantially restricted by state statute and constitutional provisions, including the voter approved provisions of Proposition 13 of 1978, Proposition 218 of 1996, and Proposition 26 of 2010. The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act adds and expands restrictions on voters and local government tax and fee authority, making it even more difficult for counties, cities, schools, special districts, and the state
1 7

to raise revenue by any means.
For instance, local governments levy a variety of fees and other charges to provide core public services. Major examples of affected fees and charges are:
•Nuisance abatement charges, such as for weed, rubbish, and general nuisance abatement to fund community safety, code enforcement, and neighborhood cleanup programs.
•Commercial franchise fees.
•Emergency response fees, such as in connection with DUI. •Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport charges.
•Document processing and duplication fees.
•Transit fees, tolls, and parking fees.
•Facility use charges, fees for parks and recreation services, garbage disposal tipping fees.
Virtually every city, county, and special district must regularly (e.g., annually) adopt increases to fee rates and charges and revise rate schedules to accommodate new users and activities. Most of these would be subject to new standards and limitations under threat of legal challenge. Based on the current volume of fees and charges imposed by local agencies, including council-adopted increases to simply accommodate inflation, Cal Cities estimates the amount of local government fee and charge revenue at risk is approximately $2 billion per year including those adopted since Jan. 1, 2022. Over ten years, $20 billion of local government fee and charge revenues will be at heightened legal peril. Hundreds of local tax measures were approved in 20221 that likely do not comply with the provisions of the initiative. Nearly $2 billion of annual revenues from these voter- approved measures will cease a year after the effective date of the measure, reducing the local public services funded by these measures, unless the tax is re-submitted for voter approval.
Specific provisions of the measure include:
Fees and Charges2:
•Except for licensing and other regulatory fees, fees and charges may not exceed the “actual cost” of providing the product or service for which the fee is charged. “Actual cost” is the “minimum amount necessary.” States and cities have the burden to prove the fee or charge is not a tax and does not exceed “actual cost” with “clear and convincing” evidence. •Requires fees and charges paid for the use of local and state government property and the amount paid to purchase or rent government property to be “reasonable.” These fees and charges are currently allowed to be market-based. Whether the amount is “reasonable” (introducing a new legal standard aiming to force below market fee and charge amounts) must be proved by “clear and convincing evidence.”3 The standard may significantly reduce the amount large companies (e.g., oil, utilities, gas, railroads, garbage/refuse, cable, and other corporations) will pay for the use of local public property. •Prohibits fees on new development based on vehicle miles traveled.

•Taxes and fees adopted after Jan. 1, 2022, that do not comply with the new rules, are void unless reenacted5.
•Invalidates Upland decision that allows a majority of local voters to pass special taxes.
The measure specifies that taxes proposed by the initiative are subject to the same rules as taxes placed on the ballot by a city council.
•Expressly prohibits local advisory measures which allow local voters to express a preference for how local general tax dollars should be spent.6 •Requires voter approval to expand existing taxes (e.g., Utility, Transient Occupancy) to new territory (e.g., annexations) or to expand the tax base (e.g., new utility service). •New taxes can only be imposed for a specific time period. •City charters may not be amended to include a tax or fee. •All state taxes require majority voter approval.
Fines and Penalties7:
•May require voter approval of fines, penalties, and levies for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws unless a new, undefined adjudicatory process is used to impose the fines and penalties.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of this measure could have significant fiscal impact in Rancho Cucamonga and require steep reductions in service levels, result in indeterminable legal and administrative burdens and costs from new and more empowered legal challenges and bureaucratic cost tracking requirements, result in the delay and deterrence of municipal annexations and associated impacts on housing and commercial developments, and have significant service and infrastructure impacts.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
Opposition to the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act initiative is aligned with the Council’s vision to build on our success as a world class community, to create an equitable, sustainable, and vibrant city, rich in opportunity for all to thrive, as the measure, if adopted, would have a significant impact on service and infrastructure, including in fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, drinking water, sewer sanitation, parks, libraries, public schools, affordable housing, homelessness prevention, and mental health services.

ACCOUNTABILITY ACT” (INITIATIVE 21-0042A1)
WHEREAS, an association representing California’s wealthiest corporations and developers is spending millions to push a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2024 statewide ballot; and
WHEREAS, the measure includes undemocratic provisions that would make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and infrastructure, and would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures where voters provide direction on how they want their local tax dollars spent; and
WHEREAS, the measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, including local infrastructure and our environment; and
WHEREAS, the measure may make it much more difficult for state and local regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment, public health and safety, and our neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to local services at risk and could force cuts to fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services, and more,

The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act [Deleted codified text is denoted in strikeout. Added codified text is denoted by italics and underline.] Section 1. Title
This Act shall be known, and may be cited as, the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act.
Section 2. Findings and Declarations
(a) Californians are overtaxed. We pay the nation's highest state income tax, sales tax, and gasoline tax. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, California's combined state and local tax burden is the highest in the nation. Despite this, and despite two consecutive years of obscene revenue surpluses, state politicians in 2021 alone introduced legislation to raise more than $234 billion in new and higher taxes and fees.
(b) Taxes are only part of the reason for California's rising cost-of-living crisis. Californians pay billions more in hidden "fees" passed through to consumers in the price they pay for products, services, food, fuel, utilities and housing. Since 2010, government revenue from state and local "fees" has more than doubled.
(c) California's high cost of living not only contributes to the state's skyrocketing rates of poverty and homelessness, they are the pushing working families and job-providing businesses out of the state. The most recent Census showed that California's population dropped for the first time in history, costing us a seat in Congress. In the past four years, nearly 300 major corporations relocated to other states, not counting thousands more small businesses that were forced to move, sell or close. (d) California voters have tried repeatedly, at great expense, to assert control over whether and how taxes and fees are raised. We have enacted a series of measures to make taxes more predictable, to limit what passes as a "fee," to require voter approval, and to guarantee transparency and accountability. These measures include Proposition 13 (1978), Proposition 62 (1986), Proposition 218 (1996), and Proposition 26 (2010).
(e) Contrary to the voters' intent, these measures that were designed to control taxes, spending and accountability , have been weakened and hamstrung by the Legislature, government lawyers, and the courts, making it necessary to pass yet another initiative to close loopholes and reverse hostile court decisions.
Section 3. Statement of Purpose
(a) In enacting this measure, the voters reassert their right to a voice and a vote on new and higher taxes by requiring any new or higher tax to be put before voters for approval. Voters also intend that all fees and other charges are passed or rejected by the voters themselves or a governing body elected by voters and not unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats.
(b) Furthermore, the purpose and intent of the voters in enacting this measure is to increase transparency and accountability over higher taxes and charges by requiring any tax measure placed on the ballot- 1
either at the state or local level-to clearly state the type and rate of any tax, how long it will be in effect , and the use of the revenue generated by the tax.
(c) Furthermore, the purpose and intent of the voters in enacting this measure is to clarify that any new or increased form of state government revenue, by any name or manner of extraction paid directly or indirectly by Californians, shall be authorized only by a vote of the Legislature and signature of the Governor to ensure that the purposes for such charges are broadly supported and transparently debated. (d) Furthermore, the purpose and intent of the voters in enacting this measure is also to ensure that taxpayers have the right and ability to effectively balance new or increased taxes and other charges with the rapidly increasing costs Californians are already paying for housing, food, childcare, gasoline, energy , healthcare, education, and other basic costs of living, and to further protect the existing constitutional limit on property taxes and ensure that the revenue from such taxes remains local, without changing or superseding existing constitutional provisions contained in Section 1{c) of Article XIII A. (e) In enacting this measure, the voters also additionally intend to reverse loopholes in the legislative two thirds vote and voter approval requirements for government revenue increases created by the courts includin g, but not limited to, Cannabis Coalition v. City of Upland, Chamber of Commerce v. Air Resources Board, Schmeer v. Los Angeles County, Johnson v. County of Mendocino, Citizens Assn. of Sunset Beach v.
Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission, and Wilde v. City of Dunsmuir.

CODE AMENDMENT DRC2023 -00050 TO AMEND
ARTICLES III, IV, V, VIII AND IX OF TITLE 17 OF THE
MUNICIPAL CODE, A SUPPLEMENTAL UPDATE TO
THE DEVELOPMENT CODE, AND ADOPTING AN

PLAN, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THEREOF
The Ci
ty Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Recitals.
A. The City of Rancho Cucamonga (the “City”) , has prepared Municipal Code Amendment DRC2023-00050, as described in the title of this Ordinance. Hereinafter in this Ordinance, the subject Municipal Code Amendment is referred to as “the amendment”.
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 a mendment 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 Attachment 1
Ordinance – 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 ef fect 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.

(CITY) RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report.
BACKGROUND:
Established by Resolution 19-075, the Community Parks and Landscape Citizens’ Oversight Committee is made up of members of the public that reside and own property within Landscape Maintenance Districts #1 General City, #2 Victoria, #4R Terra Vista, #6R Caryn Community, and #7 North Etiwanda, Street Lighting District #2 Residential, and Park and Recreation Improvement District #85 (collectively “the Districts”), and do not serve on any other standing City Commission or Committee. The primary purpose of the Committee is to review the annual audit after it is prepared and report the results of its review to the City Council and the community on an annual basis.
The Committee does not have budgetary, operational decision-making authority, nor the authority to allocate financial resources or direct staff.
ANALYSIS:
At our meeting on February 21, 2023, Noah Daniels, Finance Director, and Frank North, Audit Manager of Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP, provided an overview of the audit for the Districts for the Fiscal Year 2021/22. The reports generated by the audit include:
•Audit Communication Letter
•Independent Auditors’ Report on Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances
•Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting By law, each District accounts for its revenue and expenditures in its funds. The auditor reviewed their work, and a discussion was held regarding the audit process and how the City ensures that funds collected for maintenance and operations are spent to benefit each District.

To the Community Parks and Landscape Citizens' Oversight Committee City of Rancho Cucamonga, California
We have audited the statement of revenues, expenditures and cha nges in fund balances of Landscape Maintenance Districts #1 General City, #2 Victoria, #4R Terra V ista, #6R Caryn Community, and #7 North Etiwanda, Street Lightin g Maintenance District #2 Residential, and Park and Recreation Improvement District #85 (collectively, the Districts) of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, California (the City), for the year ended June 30, 2022. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information relate d to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga dated April 22, 2022. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualita
tive Aspects of Significant Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the Districts are described in the notes to statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during Fiscal Year 2021/22. We noted no transactions entered into by the Districts during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
The statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Significant Unusual Transactions
Management is responsible for the policies and practices used to account for significant unusual transactions. No significant unusual transactions have occurred during Fiscal Year 2021/22.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with mana gement in performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require u s to accumulate all known and l ikely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. No misstatements were found.

Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such dis agreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated December 12, 2022.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain sit uations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the Districts’ statement of reven ues, expenditures and changes in fund balances or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion th at may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues Discussed with Management
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the signif icant events or transactions that occurred during the year, business conditions affecting the Districts and business plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstate ments, the application of account ing principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.

OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Community Parks and Landscape Citizens' Oversight Committee City of Rancho Cucamonga, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applic able to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances of Landscape Maintenance Districts #1 General City, #2 Victoria, #4R Terra Vista, #6R Caryn Community, and #7 North Etiwanda, St reet Lighting Maintenance District #2 Residential, and Park and Recreation Improvement District #8 5 (collectively, the Districts), of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, California (the City), for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances, and have issued our report thereon December 12, 2022.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements, on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal c ontrol was for the limited purpo se described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to i dentify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitation s, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Cit y’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance wit h certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on complian ce with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that a re required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

DATE:April 5, 2023
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Katie Bailey, Management Analyst II
SUBJECT: Consideration to Approve the Creative Placemaking and Public Art Strategic Plan. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Creative Placemaking and Public Art Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
At its regular meeting on July 19, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 912, amending the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code regarding creative placemaking through public art. This ordinance established policy for the City and private developers to fund and implement new public art projects as the City grows into the future. Pertinent to the implementation of the ordinance was the formation of the Public Art Committee (PAC) during the regular meeting on December 20, 2017. PAC member duties include advising the City Council regarding the selection, purchase, placement, and maintenance of art installed by the City or on City property and expenditures from the City of Rancho Cucamonga Public Art Trust Fund.
In 2019, the PAC recommended that the City develop a Creative Placemaking and Public Art Strategic Plan (RC Public Art Plan) to guide the public art process for both the PAC and the City.
The development of the RC Public Art Plan saw significant delays due to the onset of the COVID- 19 pandemic. Still, the process included a robust, meaningful community input process, which provided valuable insight into the needs of the community regarding public art.
ANALYSIS:
Before drafting the plan, Staff conducted a robust community engagement process that consisted of a survey that yielded 642 submissions, six (6) pop-up “Mappy Hours” with 155 community participants, six (6) affinity group interviews with 97 community participants, and sixteen (16) one- on-one community interviews.
This outreach effort aimed to provide creative and accessible ways for all community members to engage in the process, give in-depth feedback, and identify a range of community priorities to inform the future of placemaking and public art in Rancho Cucamonga. The community engagement process provided the foundation for the RC Public Art Plan Vision, Core Values, and Goals identified in the plan.

Once the community engagement process concluded, the RC Public Art Plan was drafted. At a glance, this plan outlines the following:
•RC Public Art program Vision and Core Values;
•RC Public Art program goals, strategies, and performance measures; •Art priority areas and selection criteria;
•Program implementation guidelines; and,
•Roles and Responsibilities for critical stakeholders.
If adopted, this plan will provide a roadmap for Staff to implement the RC Public Art Program over the next seven years.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If adopted, the RC Public Art Plan will assist Staff in prioritization for funding sources. Most often, projects identified for the RC Public Art Program will be funded through the Public Art Trust Fund.
However, as outlined in the RC Public Art Plan, Staff will look to leverage the Public Art Trust Funds through grant applications and private funding, and, when applicable, Staff will request General Fund support for projects or staffing needs that fall outside the parameters for Public Art Trust Fund use.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses City Council's Core Values by providing and nurturing a high quality of life for all through placemaking and public art initiatives. In addition, public art enhances livability and promotes and enhances a safe and healthy community for all.

SUMMARY
The General Plan Update, completed in December
of 2021, outlines a long-term goal for the City
of Rancho Cucamonga to become the cultural
and economic hub of the Inland Empire, rich in
opportunity for all who live, work, and play in the
city to thrive. Public art plays an important role in
the City’s progress towards that goal by enhancing
placemaking efforts, supporting efforts to improve
overall quality of life, and expanding opportunities
for community engagement.
In 2017, the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted
its first public art ordinance, which established
policy for both the City and private developers
to fund and implement new public art projects
as the City grows into the future (the “Public Art
Program”). In 2018, City appointed the Public Art
Committee (PAC) to serve as an all-volunteer group
of community professionals who advise the City
Council on the implementation of the Public Art
Program. Finally, in 2019, City Council approved the
PAC’s recommendation to complete a public art
plan, and City staff, led by the RC Public Art Core
Team, launched an 18-month community outreach
program that guided the development of this
RC Public Art Plan.
This RC Public Art Plan establishes the RC Public Art
Program’s vision, core values, and goals, and provides
guidance on implementing and maintaining a public
art program within the City.

2 Confirms the RC Public Art Program
Vision and Core Values
Vision
This RC Public Art Plan will support the goal of establishing the City of Rancho Cucamonga as the cultural hub of the Inland Empire by equitably bringing art to the public realm that engages, inspires, and reflects our diverse cultural and artistic heritage while empowering the community through a variety of art and cultural amenities . The RC Public Art Program should engage artistic excellence, foster joy, inspire civic pride, and ignite a sense of wonder and excitement.

What This RC Public Art Plan
Accomplishes…
Identifies Priority Areas and Selection Criteria
The RC Public Art Plan establishes priority areas for public art placement, including General Plan Focus Areas, historic community centers, bike and pedestrian paths, parks, green spaces, and major thoroughfares, intersections, and City gateways.
When selecting public art placements, the RC Public Art Plan recommends priority be given to locations that are that high visible, high accessible, and contribute to the placemaking priorities outlined in the General Plan.
Provides Implementation Guidelines
The RC Public Art Plan provides guidance on procuring public art, including process outlines for commissioning new art, purchasing existing art, accepting public art donations and loans, maintaining public art, deaccessioning public art, maintaining public art records, and maintaining and leveraging funding for the RC Public Art Program.
Roles and Responsibilities
The RC Public Art Plan identifies critical stakeholders in the public art process and outlines the respective responsibilities of each group, including RC Public Art Staff1, the Public Art Committee, the City Council, the City Manager, Art Selection Panels, Future Groups, and other City departments .
Sets Priorities
for RC Public Art
Programming
Art that supports placemaking:
The RC Public Art Program portfolio
should be used to link neighborhoods,
help increase the vibrancy and
economic viability of our cultural
centers, and animate public spaces
in a way that inspires community
members to engage with and take
ownership of areas where they live,
work, and play.
Attract and retain regional artists:
The RC Public Art Program portfolio
should include works commissioned
by local and regional artists, and
programming should include efforts
to attract and retain artists to the
region.
Art that reflects the City’s diverse
population and cultural history:
RC Public Art programming should
reflect the diversity in our community
and equitably represent our cultural
history.
Art for and by the community:
The RC Public Art Program should
include projects supporting initiatives
such as mental and physical
well-being, sustainability, and
community-led art projects.

INTRODUCTION
In 2017, the City of Rancho Cucamonga (the City)
adopted its first public art ordinance. The Creative
Placemaking & Public Art Ordinance (Ordinance No.
912) established milestone policy for both the City
and private developers to fund and implement new
public art projects as the City grows into the future.
To guide the implementation of the Public Art
Program, in 2018, the City appointed the PAC to serve
as an all-volunteer group of community professionals
who advise the City Council regarding the selection,
purchase, placement, and maintenance of art
installed by the City or on City property.
The PAC’s recommendation to move forward with
developing the RC Public Art Plan was approved by
City Council in 2019. City staff, led by the RC Public

The RC Public Arts Plan
With that vision in mind, and through robust community input, the RC Public Art Plan establishes the vision, core values, and goals for the RC Public Art Program, in addition to recommendations for the commissioning, review, implementation, and maintenance of public art projects across the City.
The RC Public Art Plan is shaped by a rich community outreach process led by the RC Public Art Core Team, who facilitated a multifaceted engagement program to gain valuable feedback over 18-months . The outreach process was successfully implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. It included numerous stakeholder interviews, affinity group meetings, a robust community survey, and online and in-person outreach maps to pin locations and learn about the types of public art the community desires . The public outreach provided insight into the heart and spirit of the many neighborhoods that comprise the community and has been foundational to the RC Public Art Plan’s core.
The RC Public Art Plan is a resource to help guide City staff and the RC Public Art Program into action and is intended to be a living document that can be reviewed and utilized by RC Public Art Staff and the PAC . The RC Public Art Plan is part of the General Plan Update process, the City’s new comprehensive development plan that serves as a blueprint for the City’s future . Together, the General Plan and the RC Public Art Plan ensure that creative placemaking and public art are integrated into overall planning and development objectives well into the future and provide guidelines for the City for the public art process . Finally, this RC Public Art Plan coincides with the City’s Climate Action Plan (“CAP”), weaving together the arts, culture, climate, health, and well-being for years to come.
RC Public Art seeks to activate the City’s vision for
the future, to create an equitable, sustainable, and
vibrant city, rich in opportunity for all to thrive.

Public art is original works of temporary or permanent art designed and/or created by an artist or artist-led team. Public art lives in the public realm and is visibly and/or physically accessible.
Public art can take shape in many ways and forms as long as it remains free and accessible to the public. At its very best, public art brings the community together. It provides a nexus of community pride, celebrating a place’s unique and enduring qualities and its people.
Public artwork can be contemplative, engaging, fun, interactive, and awe-inspiring. It may honor and tell stories about the past, enrich and inform the present, and envision and activate the future. It occupies public places such as community centers, parks, open spaces, streets, alleyways, trails, bus stops, bridges, transportation infrastructure, and private developments accessible to the public for free.

Creative Placemaking happens when…
partners from public, private, nonprofit, and
community sectors strategically shape the
physical and social character of a neighborhood,
town, tribe, city, or region around arts and
cultural activities. Creative placemaking
animates public and private spaces,
rejuvenates structures and streetscapes,
improves local businesses viability and public
safety, and brings diverse people together
to celebrate, inspire, and be inspired.
– Ann Markusen and Anne Gawda, National Endowment
Art’s Mayors’ Institute on City Design .2
In line with this definition and the General Plan’s goals for placemaking, the RC Public Art Plan aims to use the placement of public art and cultural programming as a means to link neighborhoods, help increase the vibrancy and economic viability of our cultural centers, and animate public spaces in a way that inspires community members to engage with and take ownership of spaces where they live, work and play.
The RC Public Art Plan will prioritize creative placemaking in both General Plan Update focus areas and other areas of historical and cultural relevance as identified by the RC Public Art Plan outreach.
What is Creative Placemaking?
The Resort, Healthy RC members at The Resort, 2019

[Placekeeping is] the active care and
maintenance of a place and its social fabric
by the people who live and work there. It is
not just preserving buildings but keeping the
cultural memories associated with a locale alive,
while supporting the ability of local people to
maintain their way of life as they choose.
- U.S. Department of Arts and Culture3
The City of Rancho Cucamonga recognizes the need to equitably honor the diverse cultural heritage of Rancho Cucamonga and amplify voices and cultural legacies that have been erased or marginalized in the past.
Creative Placekeeping provides a framework for this work, keeping the past, present, and future alive as a vibrant part of the identity and growth of the city. These principles will be integrated into RC Public Art through programs and initiatives that aim to preserve and maintain Rancho Cucamonga’s rich development and cultural history for our community members. https://usdac.us/blogac/2017/12/11/creative-placemaking-placekeeping-and-cultural-strategies-to-resist-displacement What is Creative Placekeeping?
