ORDINANCE NO. 1022
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE RANCHO
CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING NON -
STOREFRONT MEDICAL CANNABIS RETAIL AS A USE
PERMITTED WITH A MINOR USE PERMIT FOR PROPERTIES
LOCATED IN PORTIONS OF THE NEO- INDUSTRIAL (NI) AND
INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYMENT (IE) ZONES , AMENDING
CHAPTER 8.52 OF TITLE 8 OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA
MUNICIPAL CODE EXCEPTING CERTAIN NON-STOREFRONT
MEDICAL CANNABIS RETAIL FROM THE PROHIBITION ON
COMMERCIAL CANNABIS ACTIVITY, ADDING CHAPTER 5.20
TO TITLE 5 OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE
ESTABLISHING REGULATORY AND OPERATIONAL
RESTRICTIONS FOR SUCH A NON-STOREFRONT MEDICAL
CANNABIS RETAILER, AND MAKING A DETERMINATION OF
EXEMPTION FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT
I. Recitals.
A. Chapters 8.52 and 17.94 and Table 17.30.030-1 of the City of Rancho Cucamonga (“City”) Municipal Code (“RCMC”) currently prohibit all commercial cannabis acti vity in the City, with limited exceptions to allow cannabis activity that the City is required to permit under state law.
B. On October 9, 2015, Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill 243, Assembly Bill 266, and Senate Bill 643 into law, which collectively were known as the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (hereinafter “MCRSA”). The MCRSA established a State regulatory and licensing scheme for commercial medical cannabis businesses.
C. On November 8, 2016, California voters approved the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA”). The AUMA made it lawful under State and local law for persons 21 years of age or older to possess and cultivate limited quantities of cannabis for personal use. The AUMA also established a State regulatory and licensing scheme for commercial adult-use cannabis businesses.
D. On June 27, 2017, the Governor signed into law Senate Bill 94, which repealed the MCRSA, included certain provisions of the MCRSA in the licensing provisions of the AUMA, and created a single regulatory scheme for both medicinal and adult-use cannabis known as the Medicinal and Adult -Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”). The MAUCRSA retains the provisions in the MCRSA and the AUMA that granted local jurisdictions control over whether cannabis businesses could operate in a particular jurisdiction. Specifically, California Business and Professions Code Section 26200 provides that the MAUCRSA shall not be interpreted to supersede or limit authority of a local jurisdiction to adopt and enforce local ordinances to regulate businesses licensed under the MAUCRSA including, but not limited to, local zoning and land use requirements, business license requirements, and requirements related Ordinance 1022 Page 2 of 16
to reducing exposure to secondhand smoke, or to completely prohibit the establishment or operation of one or more businesses licensed by the State, within that local jurisdiction.
E. On September 18, 2022, the Governor signed into law Senate Bill 1186 (“SB 1186”), which enacted Medicinal Cannabis Patients’ Right of Access Act. SB 1186 provides that a city cannot adopt or enforce regulations that prohibit the “retail sale by delivery” of medi cinal cannabis. This includes any regulation that has the effect of prohibiting patients within the city or their caregivers from purchasing, by delivery, sufficient medicinal cannabis to meet their demands in a timely and readily accessible manner. Examples of prohibited regulations include prohibiting retail sale by delivery of medicinal cannabis within the jurisdiction being conducted by a licensed non-storefront retailer.
F. T he City Council desires to establish reasonable zoning and land use regulations regarding the operation of non-storefront medical cannabis retailers that are intended to address the potential negative impacts of cannabis businesses on the community.
II. Findings.
The City Council finds that adoption of this Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15061(b)(3). The activity is not subject to CEQA because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment; and the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The businesses authorized under these proposed Development Code and Municipal Code text amendments are similar to already existing permitted general uses such as retail, with the only difference being the product sold or consumed (i.e., cannabis). This Ordinance does not change the zoning for any properties, meaning that they do not create negative environmental impacts or result in physical changes to the environment. Non-storefront medical cannabis retailers developed pursuant to this O rdinance would be independently reviewed and evaluated pursuant to CEQA. City staff shall cause a Notice of Exemption to be filed as authorized by CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines.
III. Ordinance.
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. The above recitals and findings are all true and correct and incorporated into this Ordinance by this reference.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Establishing, Repealing, and Amending Certain Service and User Fee Adjustments for Various Departments (Building and Safety Services, Planning and Economic Development, and Community Services), Consider Amending the Transportation Development Impact Fees for Engineering Services, and Consider Two Resolutions Approving Such New Service and User Fees.
(RESOLUTION NO. 2023-121) and (RESOLUTION NO. 2023-122) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Conduct a public hearing on the proposed new and amended fees;
2. Adopt a Resolution to establish new fees, repeal outdated fees, and amend certain existing fees for Citywide service and user fees; and
3. Adopt a Resolution to amend Transportation Development Impact Fees for the Engineering Services Department.
BACKGROUND:
The City can impose fees under the authority granted by California Government Code Section 66000 et. seq. Fees are allowed to be imposed to recover costs associated with the provision of specific services benefiting the user, thereby reducing the use of General Fund monies for such purposes. One such example are the fees charged to new development which are a way of recovering costs incurred in processing or mitigating the development, to ensure that existing taxpayers are not subsidizing for-profit enterprises. To impose fees, the City must hold at least one public hearing as part of a regularly scheduled meeting to allow for public comment on the proposed fees.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga has established fees by authority of the Municipal Code, City Ordinances, City Resolutions, City development/funding agreements, and State and Federal statutes. As a matter of routine, City departments typically revisit fees at least once per year to ensure that small adjustments can be made over time to keep up with operational and construction
2 1
2 8
costs. Additionally, to reduce the number of fees brought before the City Council annually, certain fees are adjusted annually by applying a fee escalator approved by prior resolutions. Further, the City Council has by longstanding practice sought to recover from new development, as close to 100% of actual costs, through fees, as is practical.
Most of the City’s Development Impact Fees (DIF) and permit fees were last updated in 2018.
Typically, fees would have been reviewed in the years following 2018, but due to COVID, and 2020 and 2021 being such anomalous years resulting in flat or reduced costs, fee updates did not occur. 2022 marked a return to a more typical level of operations, but skyrocketing inflation coupled with rapid cost changes made it impractical to update fees during the year. During the past four months of 2023, inflation has returned to a normal range and prices have begun to stabilize allowing departments to once again review fees and make recommendations for adjustments. To summarize, the current 5-year adjustment accounts for inflation in 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023 with 2020-21 generally being relatively flat and certainly atypical in terms of inflationary pressures.
This report covers requests for revisions to fees for Building and Safety Services, Planning and Economic Development, and Community Services as well as an update to the Transportation DIF. Without updates fees, the City is subsidizing new development using taxpayer dollars because it is not covering actual costs (construction bids, wages and hours of labor) that are incurred in the development process (inspections, permits, reviews and impact mitigation).
ANALYSIS:
It is necessary for the City to periodically update its user fees to ensure that fees charged are commensurate to the estimated cost of providing individualized services. Fee studies are conducted to justify modifications to fees as needed. For many years the City has (except for Development Impact Fees which represent actual construction costs) used a time (hours of labor) and wages (cost per hour) methodology to ensure it provides accurate cost recovery without exceeding actual costs. The following user fee adjustments are detailed in the first proposed Resolution (Attachment 1):
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The City last conducted a comprehensive fee study for user fees for Building and Safety Services and Planning in 2018. By late 2022, both departments identified the need for an updated comprehensive fee study. The City contracted with NBS, whom it has used before and who has extensive statewide experience in this area, for a comprehensive fee study to review current fees for both Building and Safety and the Planning Departments.
The analysis completed by NBS for each department reviewed existing fees to ensure fees do not exceed the costs of services and to provide an opportunity for City Council to realign fee amounts with the City’s cost recovery policies.
While the purpose of the study was to determine the full cost to the City of providing the service, the City ultimately decides what level of cost recovery is desired through the fee schedule, up to the full cost. Staff reviewed the results of the study and refined the final proposed fees taking into consideration the degree of overall fee change and, where appropriate, comparisons to local jurisdictions. This review resulted in fee recommendations that in some cases are lower than the full cost recovery estimated by NBS. This is part of the City's effort to support homeowners and the business community by reducing barriers to entry into the local marketplace and ensuring Rancho Cucamonga remains competitive with other local jurisdictions.

BUILDING AND SAFETY SERVICES
Since the 2018 comprehensive fee study was conducted, the Building and Safety Services Department evolved their workflows for receiving and processing plans and permits. The Department’s process moved away from traditional paper submittals to become fully digital. Due to this significant shift and the length of time that has passed since the 2018 study was completed, a new fee study was deemed necessary. Staff recommend making the following adjustments, which if approved, will recover approximately 99% of the costs incurred:
To create a more equitable approach, Building and Safety staff recommend separating submission types by residential routed (full plan review) and non-routed (plan checked via a Community Development Technician), and a no plan check submission type to align with the varying ways properties are developed and improved. Staff is recommending an increase in some fees and a reduction in others like residential permit fees which include water heaters, tankless water heaters, swimming pools, tile lift and relay roofing, and patio covers.
Certain existing fees related to the Building and Safety Services Department have been collapsed, combined, or eliminated to create a new streamlined approach for applying fees to plan check and inspection services. Some of the common permit types obtained by local businesses and homeowners are recommended for fee reductions to relieve some of the cost burden, and to encourage property owners to obtain building permits. For a few permits, staff are recommending a lower fee than what was recommended by NBS including fees for block walls, fences, interior remodels, and cabanas.
Staff is also recommending, effective July 1, 2024, the fees be automatically adjusted on an annual basis by the percentage change in the Employment Cost Index (ECI) for state and local government workers, total compensation (not seasonally adjusted), during the 12-month period ending on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, as published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. The ECI escalator is consistent with other departments who apply the ECI to permit fees to ensure recovery of costs for administering the service. These fees are subject to the current 7% Technology Fee and 10% General Plan Fee.

PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Based on the findings in the NBS fee study analysis, current planning fees are under-recovered.
The fee study concluded that the current cost recovery rate from fees related to Planning’s development services is, on average, 69.8% of the total cost of providing services, which is significantly short of the City Council’s long-standing goal of 100% cost recovery. To recover the full cost of services, most fees would have to be increased; however, an increase to all fees to obtain 100% recovery is impractical and not recommended. A deeper review was conducted on each fee to determine what adjustments should be made to better align Planning fees and costs recovered to services provided. Staff recommend making the following adjustments, which if approved, will recover approximately 88% of the costs incurred:
Deposit and Flat fee types
The majority of fees are categorized as either Deposit-based or Flat (fixed). For Deposit-based fees, the applicant must complete a processing agreement, acknowledging the deposit and their
2 1
2 8
awareness that they will be charged for the actual time and materials required to perform the work/service. Applicants must also agree to provide additional deposits if the cost exceeds the initial deposit collected. Applicants will receive a refund if any amount of the deposit is unused.
As part of this study, it was determined that some fees should be recategorized to Flat fees as they were typically found to be more predictable, or were charged at actual cost. This recommendation covers fees like the Landscape Plan Review-New Development Reviewed by City Staff, Technical Report Review-City Administrative Processing Fee, Tribal Consultation, and Zoning Map Amendment.
Increases
Staff recommends increasing a total of 85 fees, at an average of 24%. Of the 85 increased fees, eight are Deposit-based. Increasing these fees will help the City better align or keep up with the related actual cost of providing the services; however, not all recommended increases will result in a 100% recovery rate. For example, the current Annexation fee is $15,000 (Deposit-based), the full recovery fee is $84,461; however, staff recommends the deposit increase to only $40,000.
Therefore, while the Annexation fee reflects the highest recommended increase (166%) over the current fee amount, it does not actually recover the full amount of cost, and because it is Deposit- based, the payee will receive a refund for any unused portion of their deposit. Another fee reflecting a more sizable, recommended increase (119%), is the Public Noticing Staff Time for Small Mailers, which is a flat fee. The increase from $204 (current) to $448 (full recovery) is recommended to offset the time it takes staff to prepare and mail out notices, as well as increased supply and mailing costs.
Decreases
Staff recommend decreasing six fees including the Certificate of Appropriateness- Residential/Non-profit fee which is currently $2,644. It is recommended that the City fully subsidize this fee to encourage maintenance and avoid demolition due to neglect.
Recommendations to decrease other fees are linked to savings realized through the enhancement of processes due to technology updates, such as the Property Ownership List- Standard and Custom application.
No changes or subsidized fees
No change recommendations are being made for 24 existing fees. Some of these fees include the Density Bonus Agreement, the General Plan Amendment, and the Master Plan Amendment.
Of these 24 fees, several will continue to be subsidized, such as the Landmark Application, the Property Ownership List-Small application, the Mills Act Application, the Temporary Use Permit- Residential Haunted Houses, and the Tree Removal Permits-Single Family Residential for Dead Trees. Other fees are being recommended for slight increases but remain mostly subsidized; these include the Temporary Use Permit for Non-Profits and the Temporary Use Permit for All- Others.
New fees
Recommendations are being made to add four fee categories. These include the Annual Below Market Rate Rental Monitoring Fee for monitoring costs associated with the Density Bonus affordability covenants to ensure private development maintains the affordable units they proposed as part of their project; Public Noticing-Large Mailer, to account for the additional time it takes staff to prepare large mailers; SB 330 Preliminary Application Fee, for costs associated with reviewing SB330 applications; and Tree Removal Permits-Process fee, to recover expenses related to the additional staff time spent reviewing and processing tree removal permits when a tree was removed without an approved permit.
2 1
2 8
Removed
Several fees were found to no longer be needed and are recommended for removal, such as, Government Referral, City Facilitation of Consultant, Large Day Care Permit, Pre-Application Review- Planning Commission, and Preliminary Review.
Other minor updates are recommended for several fee categories, including name updates and the creation of new sub-categories. For example, Specific/Community was updated to Specific Plan, Design Review was updated to Major Design Review, and the subcategory Facilitation of Consultant was renamed to City Administrative Processing Fee.
Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood and Conservation Plan
Although a majority of the Planning and Economic Development Fees are recommended for replacement in the attached resolution, the fees established to recover costs associated with the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood and Conservation Plan remain unchanged, and Resolution #20- 003, which adopted these fees, remains in place.
General Plan Maintenance Fee
State law requires every city and county adopt and maintain an up-to-date comprehensive General Plan to guide the community’s future growth and development. Without a valid General Plan, the City can be legally restricted from making land use changes and approving new development projects, including functions such as amending the development code, issuing land use and building permits, and taking other actions on planning and building applications.
Updating the General Plan and implementing it is an unfunded State mandate. As such, State law recognizes that the City Council may establish fees to support work including, but not limited to, the adoption and administration of the General Plan, but that the “fees shall not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged” (Government Code Section 66016). In 2018, a 10% General Plan Maintenance Fee was adopted. NBS reviewed the current fee to determine if additional adjustments were needed.
Staff has estimated the cost for the most recent General Plan update, including consultant costs and staff time, to be $2.8 million. While the NBS study indicates a full cost recovery would increase the General Plan Maintenance Fee from 10% to 15.9%, staff recommends maintaining a 10% rate at this time. The fee will help defray the costs of updating and implementing the General Plan, updating the General Plan EIR at the 5-year mark to allow development to continue to “tier” off the document to streamline environmental review, as well as preparing implementation programs necessary to make the appropriate findings and determinations required in the development process.
The recommended fees for the Building and Safety Services and the Planning and Economic Development were initially compared with fees in nearby cities. However, due to outdated comparisons and differing calculation methods, this approach was largely ineffective and unhelpful. The final fee adjustments are based on detailed fee studies and expert recommendations, involving input from department staff and consultants, ensuring a more relevant and informed decision-making process.

CIVIC AND CULTURAL SERVICES
COMMUNITY SERVICES
The Community Services Department is unwavering in its commitment to improving service options to meet the evolving needs of our valued customers. In this endeavor, staff have introduced recommendations for new options for court and field rentals, which provide greater flexibility for our patrons. Additionally, to create a more sustainable service delivery model, the Department recommends increasing the ActiveNet Transaction Fee by 1%, making minor language changes, and removing fees no longer applicable to its business model. Staff have carefully considered these changes to ensure the Department’s fees align with the community’s needs and preferences.
Staff is also recommending, effective July 1, 2024, the fees be automatically adjusted on an annual basis by the percentage change in the Employment Cost Index (ECI) for state and local government workers, total compensation (not seasonally adjusted), during the 12-month period ending on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, as published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. The ECI escalator is consistent with other departments that apply the ECI to permit fees to ensure recovery of costs for administering the service. The ECI will not apply to deposit-based fees.
The following development impact fee adjustments are detailed in the second proposed Resolution (Attachment 2):
ENGINEERING SERVICES
Transportation Development Impact Fee (DIF) Update
On April 18, 1991, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted Ordinance No. 445 creating and establishing the authority for imposing and charging city-wide transportation development impact fees. The last fee update to the Transportation DIFs occurred in December 2020 through the City Council’s adoption of Resolution No. 2020-122.
It is necessary for the City to regularly evaluate the costs of the transportation development impact fee program to ensure the impact fees charged keep pace with the increasing construction costs for these vital projects that help mitigate the citywide traffic impact of new development. The current Transportation DIFs have been reviewed and analyzed by City staff and found insufficient to meet both current and future transportation needs due to significantly increased construction costs since the last fee update in December 2020. Recent (2022 and 2023) actual costs received from competitive bids for things like traffic signals and left turn flashing arrows, for example, bear out that the City is only covering about 60% of the actual cost from fees collected and the difference is being covered from General Fund tax dollars. The increase for this year is calculated at 37%. This is based on the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) Price Index for Construction Items from 3rd Quarter 2020 to the 2nd Quarter 2023. This increase also includes the administration fee to manage the DIF program. The Building Industry Association (BIA) has been made aware of the adjustments proposed. For all developments, the fee increases would be effective 60 days from the date of adoption. It is not recommended that the City delay implementation if possible, as each passing month sees prices further rise and the resulting deficit further strains the City budget.

EFFECTIVE DATE OF FEES:
Fees approved through the adoption of the attached Resolutions and incorporated into the Master Fee Schedule would be effective January 2, 2024, for Community Services. For Building and Safety Services, Planning and Economic Development, and Engineering Services, the fees would be effective 60 days from the adoption of the Resolutions, consistent with State law. The annual fee adjustments would be effective on the first day of each fiscal year, July 1, as set forth in the fee resolutions, and staff would update the Master Fee Schedule accordingly.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65090, this item was advertised fifteen (15) days in advance as a public hearing (1/8-page ad) in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper.
FISCAL IMPACT:
By consistently examining user fees annually, these user fee updates provide additional revenue per fiscal year to offset the City's costs.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This action is in keeping with the Council's Core Value of intentionally embracing and anticipating the future by taking actions to keep fees in line with costs over time.

Vacant Land as of February 2005
Vacant Residential Property = 950 acres
Single Family Dwelling Units (SFDU) = 5,363 units
Multi-Family Dwelling Units (MFDU) = 5,248 units
Vacant Industrial Property = 719 acres = 31,319,640 square feet Assuming that the average floor area ratio for General Industrial is 0.5 then the future square footage of industrial development is 31,319,640 square feet x 0.5 = 15,659,820 square feet.
Vacant Commercial Property = 334 acres = 14,549,040 square feet Assuming that the average floor area ratio for General Commercial is 0.25, then the future square footage of commercial development is 14,549,040 square feet x 0.25 = 3,637,260 square feet.
Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU) per Land Use
Different types of land uses have different traffic trip generation rates. In order for nexus fees to be tabulated for each type of land use, the “Equivalent Dwelling Units” or EDU for each type of land use must first be determined. The calculation of a particular land use type’s EDU is based on the traffic trip generation rate for that land use from the ITE Trip Generation Manual. Per City Resolution No. 91-092, the EDU for various land uses was determined to be as follows:
Land Use Type EDU
Residential - Single Family Detached Unit 1.0 EDU

Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
NBS performed a Fee Study for the City of Rancho Cucamonga (City) Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments. The purpose of this report is to present the findings and recommendations of the various fee analyses performed as part of the Study and provide the City with the information needed to update and establish user and regulatory fees for service. Throughout the process, the Study afforded much effort to ensure that not only are the fees and charges reasonable and equitable, but that they also meet industry standards and uphold the statutory requirements of the State of California.
California cities, counties, and special districts may impose user and regulatory fees for services and activities they provide through provisions set forth in the State Constitution, Article XIII C § 1. Under this legal framework, a fee may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service or performing the activity. For a fee to qualify as such, it must relate to a service or activity performed at the request of an individual or entity upon which the fee is imposed, or their actions specifically cause the local government agency to perform additional activities. In this instance, the service or underlying action causing the local agency to perform the service is either discretionary and/or is subject to regulation. As a discretionary service or regulatory activity, the fees considered in this Study fall outside of the definition and statutory requirement to impose general taxes, special taxes, and fees as a result of property ownership.
The City’s main reason for conducting this Study was twofold: (1) first, to ensure that existing fees do not exceed the costs of service, and (2) second, to provide an opportunity for the City Council to re-align fee amounts with localized cost recovery policies.
1.1 Findings
This Study examined the fee programs managed by the City’s Planning and Building and Safety departments. The Study identified an estimated $5.5 million in eligible costs for recovery from fees for service compared to approximately $4.8 million the City is currently collecting each year from fees. The following table provides a summary of the Study’s results:
Table 1. Report Summary
As shown in Table 1 above, the City is recovering approximately 88% of the costs associated with providing user and regulatory fee-related services. Should the Council adopt fees at 100% of the full cost recovery amounts determined by this Study, an additional $1 million in costs could be recovered.

Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 2 However, Section 2.2.3 later explains, there may be other local policy considerations that support adopting fees at less than the calculated full cost recovery amount. Since this element of the Study is subjective, NBS provided the maximum potential of fee amounts at 100% full cost recovery for the City to consider. Once the City Council has reviewed and evaluated the results of the Study, the City can set fees at appropriate cost recovery levels according to local policy goals and considerations.
1.2 Report Format
This report documents the analytical methods and data sources used in the Study, presents findings regarding current levels of cost recovery achieved from user and regulatory fees, discusses recommended fee amounts, and provides a comparative survey of fees to neighboring agencies for similar services. The report is organized into the following sections:
Section 2 - Outlines the general framework, approach, and methodology of the Fee Study. Sections 3 through 5 - Discusses the results of the cost of service analysis performed by department and/or fee program. The analysis includes: (1) fully burdened hourly rate(s); (2) calculation of the costs of providing service; (3) the cost recovery performance of each fee category; and (4) the staff-recommended fees for providing services. Section 6 - Presents the conclusions of the analysis provided in the preceding sections. Appendices to this report - Include additional details of the analysis performed and a comparison of the fees imposed by neighboring agencies for similar services.

2.1 Scope of Study
The following is a summary of the fees evaluated during the Study:
Planning Department
o Appeal fees
o Development Agreements
o Environmental / CEQA Review
o Design review
o Conditional /Special Use permits
o Tentative Parcel / Subdivision Maps
o Other types of Planning entitlements, and permits
o Cyclical General plan maintenance, update, and implementation
Building and Safety Services Department
o Department Processing Fees
o Commercial New Construction, Addition, and TI permits & plan checks o Residential New Construction permits and plan checks
o Miscellaneous minor residential permits
o Mechanical, plumbing, electrical permits, and plan checks o Fire Alarm Systems
o Fire Sprinkler Systems
The fees examined in this Study specifically excluded utility rates, development impact fees, and special assessments, all of which fall under distinct analytical and procedural requirements different from the body of user/regulatory fees analyzed in this effort. Additionally, this Study and the excluded facility and equipment rental rates, as well as most of fines and penalties that may be imposed by the City for violations to its requirements or code. (The City is not limited to the costs of service when charging for entrance to or use of government property, or when imposing fines and penalties.
2.2 Methods of Analysis
Three phases of analysis were completed for each City department studied:
Cost of Service AnalysisFee EstablishmentCost Recovery Evaluation
City of Rancho Cucamonga (City)
Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 4 2.2.1 COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
This cost of service analysis is a quantitative effort that compiles the full cost of providing governmental services and activities. There are two primary types of costs considered: direct and indirect costs. Direct costs are those that specifically relate to an activity or service, including the real-time provision of the service. Indirect costs are those that support the provision of services in general but cannot be directly or easily assigned to a singular activity or service.
Direct Costs:
Direct personnel costs – Salary, wages and benefits expenses for personnel specifically involved in the provision of services and activities to the public. Direct non-personnel costs – Discrete expenses attributable to a specific service or activity performed, such as contractor costs, third-party charges, and materials used in the service or activity.
Indirect Costs:
Indirect personnel costs – Personnel expenses supporting the provision of services and activities. This can include line supervision and departmental management, administrative support within a department, and staff involved in technical support activities related to the direct services provided to the public. Indirect non-personnel costs – Expenses other than labor involved in the provision of services. In most cases, these costs are allocated across all services provided by a department, rather than directly assigned to individual fee/rate categories. Overhead costs – These are expenses, both labor and non-labor, related to agency-wide support services. Support services include general administrative services such as City Manager, Finance, Human Resources, etc. The amount of costs attributable to the departments or divisions included in this Study were sourced from the City’s Cost Allocation Plan.
All cost components in this Study use annual (or annualized) figures, representing a twelve-month cycle of expenses incurred by the Department in the provision of all services and activities City-wide.
Nearly all the fees reviewed in this Study require specific actions on the part of City staff to provide the service or conduct the activity. Since labor is the primary underlying factor in these activities, the Study expresses the full cost of service as a fully burdened cost per labor hour. NBS calculated a composite, fully burdened, hourly rate for each department, division, program, or activity applicable to the specific organization and needs of each area studied. This rate serves as the basis for further quantifying the average full cost of providing individual services and activities. Determining the fully burdened labor rate for each department, and the various functional divisions within a department, requires two data sets: (1) the full costs of service, and (2) the number of staff hours available to perform those services. NBS derived the hours available based on the complete list of all City employees and/or available service hours of its contracted professionals (where applicable).
City of Rancho Cucamonga (City)
Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 5 The City supplied NBS with the total number of paid labor hours for each employee involved in the delivery of services included in this Study. These available hours represent the amount of productive time available to provide both fee-recoverable and non-fee recoverable services and activities.
Available labor hours divided into the annual full costs of service equal the composite, fully burdened, labor rate. Some agencies may also use the resulting rates for purposes other than setting fees, such as calculating the full cost of general services or structuring a cost recovery agreement with another agency or third party.
NBS also assisted the City in estimating the staff time for the services and activities listed in the City’s fee schedule. Time tracking records for the fee programs studied as part of this analysis, when available, proved useful in identifying time spent providing general categories of service (e.g., division administration, plan review, inspection, public information assistance, etc.). However, the City does not systematically track the service time of activities for all departments or all individual fee-level services provided. Therefore, NBS also relied on interviews and questionnaires to develop the necessary data sets of estimated labor time. In many cases, the City provided estimates of the average amount of time (in minutes and hours) it took to complete a typical service or activity considered on a per-occurrence basis.
It should be noted that the development of these time estimates was not a one-step process but required careful review by both NBS and department managers to assess the reasonableness of such estimates. Based on the results of this review, the City reconsidered its time estimates until all parties were comfortable that the fee models reasonably reflected the average service level provided by the City. Finally, the fully burdened labor rate(s) calculated in earlier steps were applied at the individual fee level time estimates, yielding an average total cost of providing each fee for service or activity. The graphic below provides a visual representation of the steps discussed in this section.
City of Rancho Cucamonga (City)
Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 6 2.2.2 FEE ESTABLISHMENT
The fee establishment process includes a range of considerations, including the following:
Addition to and deletion of fees – The Study provided each department with the opportunity to propose additions and deletions to their current fee schedules, as well as re-name, re-organize, and clarify which fees were to be imposed. Many of these fee revisions allowed for better adherence to current practices, as well as the improvement in the calculation, application, and collection of the fees owed by an individual. Some additions to the fee schedule were simply the identification of existing services or activities performed by City staff for which no fee is currently charged. Revision to the structure of fees – In most cases, the focus was to re-align the fee amount to match the costs of service and leave the current structure of fees unchanged.
However, in several cases, fee categories and fee names had to be simplified or re- structured to increase the likelihood of full cost recovery or to enhance the fairness of how the fee is applied to the various types of fee payers. Documentation of the tools used to calculate special cost recovery – The City’s fee schedule should include the list of fully burdened rates developed by the Study.
Documenting these rates in the fee schedule provides an opportunity for the City Council to approve rates for cost recovery under a “time and materials” approach. It also provides clear publication of those rates so that all fee payers can readily reference the basis of any fee amounts. The fee schedule should provide language that supports special
City of Rancho Cucamonga (City)
Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 7 forms of cost recovery for activities and services not included in the adopted master fee schedule. In these rare instances, published rates are used to estimate a flat fee or bill on an hourly basis, which is at the department director’s discretion.
2.2.3 COST RECOVERY EVALUATION
The NBS fee model compares the existing fee for each service or activity to the average total cost of service quantified through this analysis. Here are the possible outcomes of the fee analysis:
Cost recovery rate of 0% - This signifies that there is currently no current recovery of costs from fee revenues (or insufficient information available for evaluation). Cost recovery rate of 100% - This means that the fee currently recovers the full cost of service.
Cost recovery rate between 0% and 100% - This indicates partial recovery of the full cost of service through fees.
Cost recovery rate greater than 100% - This means that the fee exceeds the full cost of service. User fees and regulatory fees should not exceed the full cost of service.
In all cases, the cost recovery rate achieved by a fee should not be greater than 100%. In most cases, imposing a fee above this threshold could change the definition of the charge from a cost of service based fee to a tax which has other procedural requirements, such as ballot protest or voter approval.
NBS assisted with modeling the “recommended” or “target” level of cost recovery for each fee, established at either 100% or any amount less than the calculated full cost of service. Targets and recommendations reflect discretion on the part of the agency based on a variety of factors, such as existing City policies and agency-wide or departmental revenue objectives, economic goals, community values, market conditions, level of demand, and others.
A general method of selecting an appropriate cost recovery target is to consider the public and private benefits of the service or activity in question, such as:
To what degree does the public at large benefit from the service? To what degree does the individual or entity requesting, requiring, or causing the service benefit?
When a service or activity benefits the public at large, there is generally little to no recommended fee amount (i.e., 0% cost recovery), reinforcing the fact that a service which truly benefits the public is best funded by general resources of the City, such as revenues from the General Fund (e.g., taxes).
Conversely, when a service or activity wholly benefits an individual or entity, the cost recovery is generally closer to or equal to 100% of cost recovery from fees collected from the individual or entity.
In some cases, a strict public-versus-private benefit judgment may not be sufficient to finalize a cost recovery target. Any of the following factors and considerations may influence or supplement the public-versus-private benefit perception of a service or activity:
City of Rancho Cucamonga (City)
Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 8 If optimizing revenue potential is an overriding goal, is it feasible to recover the full cost of service?
Will increasing fees result in non-compliance or public safety problems? Are there desired behaviors or modifications to behaviors of the service population helped or hindered through the degree of pricing for the activities? Does current demand for services support a fee increase without adverse impact to the community served or current revenue levels? In other words, would fee increases have the unintended consequence of driving away the population served? Is there a good policy basis for differentiating between the type of user (e.g., residents vs. non-residents, residential vs. commercial, non-profit entities, and business entities)? Are there broader City objectives that merit a less than full cost recovery target from fees, such as economic development goals and local social values? NBS provided the cost of service calculation based on 100% full cost recovery and the framework for the City’s use to adjust the amount of cost recovery in accordance with its broader goals as they pertain to code compliance, cost recovery, economic development, and social values.
2.2.4 COMPARATIVE FEE SURVEY
Appendix B presents the results of the Comparative Fee Survey for the City. Policy makers often request a comparison of their jurisdictional fees to those of surrounding or similar communities. The purpose of a comparison is to provide a sense of the local market pricing for services, and to use that information to gauge the impact of recommendations for fee adjustments.
In this effort, NBS worked with the City to choose five comparative agencies - Ontario, Fontana, Upland, Eastvale, and Chino. It is important to keep the following in mind when interpreting the general approach to, and use of, comparative survey data:
Comparative surveys do not provide information about cost recovery policies or procedures inherent in each comparison agency.
A “market-based” decision to price services below the full cost of service calculation is the same as deciding to subsidize that service.
Comparative agencies may or may not base their fee amounts on the estimated and reasonable cost of providing services. NBS did not perform the same level of analysis of the comparative agencies’ fees.
The results of comparative fee surveys are often non-conclusive for many fee categories. Comparison agencies typically use varied terminology for the provision of similar services.
NBS made every reasonable attempt to source each comparison agency’s fee schedule from their respective websites and compile a comparison of fee categories and amounts for the most readily comparable fee items that match the City’s existing fee structure.
City of Rancho Cucamonga (City)
Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 9 2.2.5 DATA SOURCES
The following data sources were used to support the cost of service analysis and fee establishment phases of this Study:
The City’s Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2023-2024
A complete list of all City personnel, salary/wage rates, regular hours, paid benefits, and paid leave amounts provided by the Finance Department.
Various correspondences with City staff supporting the adopted budgets and current fees, including budget notes and expenditure detail not shown in the published document.
Prevailing fee schedules as adopted by City Council
Annual workload data provided by each department and/or fee program evaluated in the Study.
The City’s adopted budget serves as an important source of information that affects the cost of service results. NBS did not audit or validate the City’s financial documents and budget practices, nor was the cost information adjusted to reflect different levels of service or any specific, targeted performance benchmarks. This Study accepts the City’s budget as a legislatively adopted directive describing the most appropriate and reasonable level of City spending. NBS consultants accept the City Council’s deliberative process and the City’s budget plan and further assert that through this legislative process, the City has yielded a reasonable and valid expenditure plan to use in setting cost- based fees.

Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 10 PLANNING DEPARTMENT FEE PROGRAM
The Planning Department is tasked with ensuring land uses in Rancho Cucamonga comply with City codes, the General Plan, City Council and Planning Commission policies, and State law requirements.
Approval of projects through the planning process is often required prior to issuing building permits.
The Planning Department handles environmental review of public and private projects. Advanced planning programs provided by the department include a comprehensive General Plan update, preparing and amending specific plans, and conducting special land use studies as directed by the Planning Commission and City Council.
3.1 Cost of Service Analysis
NBS calculated the total estimated annual cost of services provided by the Planning Department, segregated between costs for activities that are eligible and/or targeted for recovery in fees for service and those that require another funding source other than fees. Table 2 shows the estimated full cost of providing services on an annual basis and the fully burdened cost per hour developed for cost recovery purposes through fees for services.
Table 2. Fully Burdened Hourly Rate – Planning Department
As Table 2 above shows, the total cost of providing services is approximately $2.9 million per year.
However, the results of the cost of service analysis identified $1.7 million in cost for recovery from the City’s fees for service with the remaining $1.2 million recommended for recovery through other funding sources. All subsequent cost of service calculations at the individual fee level assumes a fully burdened hourly rate of $224.
Based on interviews with Department staff, the analysis segregated the total cost of services into four primary services categories: (1) Public Counter Duty / General Info; (2) Advanced / Long-Range Planning Activities; (3) Non-Fee Support to Other City Departments; and (4) Current Planning Direct Services. In order to clarify the underlying costs and assumptions used to calculate the fully burdened hourly rate, here is a summary of the descriptions for each cost category:

City of Rancho Cucamonga (City)
Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 11 Public Counter Duty / General Info – Activities associated with responding to phone calls and general information requests that support the development review process.
Typically, some portions of costs for provision of general public information and assistance do not apply toward recovery from fees and are considered a basic function of governmental services to the public. Planning staff estimated that approximately 50% of these costs support land use application review activities, while the remaining costs should not be considered in the calculation of fees for services. Advance / Long Range Planning – Advanced planning programs provided by the department include a cyclical and comprehensive General Plan update, preparing and amending specific plans, and conducting special land use studies as directed by the Planning Commission and City Council. These costs are not considered for recovery from Planning fees but are commonly recovered partially through a separate “Long Range Planning” or “General Plan Maintenance” surcharge on top of relevant planning and building permits in other California cities. NBS has calculated a separate surcharge for recovery of these costs as part of this Study, discussed in Section 5 of this report. Non-Fee Support to Other City Departments – Staff in the Planning department support other City departments on various non-fee related initiatives such as community improvement projects. These costs are not recommended for recovery from Planning fees.
Current Planning Direct Services – Development review and approval comprises the majority of this Department’s work efforts. 100% of these costs apply toward recovery from the Department’s routine types of fees for service.
The fully burdened hourly rate involves significant analytical and policy-related decisions regarding the inclusion of categorized activity costs. The decision to either include or exclude certain costs toward recovery in fees for service stems from the basic fee setting parameters set forth by industry standard fee calculation methods and the California State Constitution. State statutes require that any new fee that is levied or any existing fee that is increased should not exceed the estimated amount required to provide the service for which the charge is levied.
3.2 Fee Establishment
The list of fees as shown in Appendix A.1 to this report reflects some minor changes to the City’s prior fee schedule. Highlights include:
Fees that were redundant or unused were deleted such as: Government Referral, City Facilitation of Consultant, Large Day Care Permit, Pre Application Review – Planning Commission, and Preliminary Review.
Fees names for the following fees were updated to clarify its use: Design Review was updated to Major Design Review, City Administrative Processing Fee-Facilitation of Consultant was updated to City Administrative Processing Fee, and Other Environmental Review IS/ND/MND (Non-EIR) was updated to Other Environmental Review (Non-EIR).
City of Rancho Cucamonga (City)
Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 12 To update fee structures to be clearer and more precise, added new sub-categories for the following fees: Development/Density Bonus Agreement, Development/Density Bonus Agreement – Modification, Other Environmental Review (Non-EIR), Technical Report Review.
New fee categories were added for Annual Below Market Rate Rental Monitoring Fee, Public Noticing, SB 330 Preliminary Application Fee, and Process fee for tree removed with no permit.
In addition to these changes, the Study’s efforts focused on review and refinement of the Department’s tools to calculate special cost recovery. The proposed fee schedule distinguishes between projects recommended by the Department as flat/fixed fee amounts, versus projects requiring an initial deposit and hourly billing basis for cost recovery Section 2, Methods of Analysis, provides additional discussion on the Study’s approach to adding, deleting, and revising fee categories.
3.3 Cost Recovery Evaluation
Appendix A.1 presents the results of the detailed cost recovery analysis of fees for the City’s Planning Department. In the Appendix, the “Cost of Service per Activity” column establishes the maximum adoptable fee amount for the corresponding service identified in the “Fee Name” list. This Cost of Service per Activity is reflective of the Department’s total estimate cost for review of each entitlement/ permit, as well as any supporting department/division’s review as required by the City’s established development review processes.
Currently, the Department is recovering approximately 70% of the total cost of providing services from fees. As Table shows, the City collects approximately $851,000 per year in revenue at the current fee amounts. At full cost recovery and the same demand level for these services, the City would recover approximately $1.2 million.
Table 3. Cost Recovery Outcomes
NBS provided a full cost of service evaluation and the framework for considering fees, while the City departments determined the appropriate cost recovery levels at or below full cost amounts.
The “Recommended Fee / Deposit Level” column in Appendix A.1 displays the City staff’s initial recommended fee amounts. Based on this information, the staff recommends that all fees recover 100% of the costs of providing services. These initial recommendations for adjusted fee amounts are projected to recover approximately 100% of the total costs of providing fee-related services, assuming the demand for services remains the same.

As discussed in section 2.2.4, Comparative Fee Survey, NBS compared the City’s current list of fees to those of 5 comparison agencies selected by the City. While the results of comparative fee surveys are often non-conclusive for many fee categories due to comparison agencies typically using varied terminology for the provision of similar services, NBS made every reasonable attempt to source each comparison agency’s fee schedule. The results of the comparison are presented in Appendix B.1 to this report.
City of Rancho Cucamonga (City)
Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 14 BUILDING AND SAFETY SERVICE FEES
The Building and Safety Department’s is responsible for ensuring that structures adhere to minimum standards to safeguard life, health, property and the public welfare. This is accomplished through building plan review, issuance of building permits and inspection of buildings to ensure compliance with local and state laws. Building and Safety also performs certain fire reviews and inspections on behalf of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (RCFPD).
4.1 Cost of Service Analysis
NBS calculated the total estimated annual cost of services provided by the Building and Safety Department, segregated by those costs that are eligible and/or targeted for recovery in fees for service and those that require another funding source other than fees. The costs recoverable through fees were also translated into a fully burdened hourly rate for the purposes of individual fee calculations. Table summarizes the outcomes of the analysis:
Table 4. Fully Burdened Hourly Rate – Building & Safety Services Department
As Table 4 above shows, the total cost of providing services is approximately $3.4 million per year.
However, the results of the cost of service analysis identified $3.2 million in cost for recovery from the City’s fees for service with the remaining $180,000 recommended for recovery through funding sources other than fees. All subsequent cost of service calculations at the individual fee level assume a fully burdened hourly rate of $152.
Based on interviews with Department staff, the analysis segregated the total cost of services into four primary services categories: (1) Public Counter and General Information; (2) Building Code Enforcement; and (3) Direct Services (Processing, Plan Check, Inspection. In order to clarify the underlying costs and assumptions used to calculate the fully burdened hourly rate, here is a summary of the descriptions for each cost category:

Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 15 to recovery from fees for building permit applications. Building staff estimates approximately 90% of this activity supports building plan review and inspection activities, while 10% of the remaining costs should not be considered fee recoverable. Building Code Enforcement – Work activities in response to a complaint received by the Building Department related to violation of a prior condition of approval, City Ordinance or State law. Includes complaint investigation, follow up, and any associated abatement or enforcement actions. None of these costs are recommended for recovery in the City’s user and regulatory fees for service.
Direct Services (Processing, Plan Check, Inspection) - Work activities associated with an active building permit application. 100% of these costs are recoverable in Building user and regulatory fees for service.
The fully burdened hourly rate involves significant analytical and policy-related decisions regarding the inclusion of categorized activity costs. The decision to either include or exclude certain costs toward recovery in fees for service stems from the basic fee setting parameters set forth by industry standard fee calculation methods and the California State Constitution. State statutes require that any new fee that is levied or any existing fee that is increased should not exceed the estimated amount required to provide the service for which the charge is levied.
4.2 Fee Establishment
The list of fees as shown in Appendix A.1 to this report reflects some minor changes to the City’s prior fee schedule. Highlights include:
Fees that were redundant or unused were deleted such as: Patio Covers pre-engineered fees, Utility Release processing fee, Scanning Fees, Outsourced Plan Check, and Residential Solar Power Storage System fees.
Updates to the following fee names and fee structures to be clearer and more precise were made: S1 Mini Storage, R3.1 Change of Occupancy (Build-Out Only) to R3/R4 Change of Occupancy (Build-Out Only), R4, Wall Opening (windows/doors) new altered, and Utility Release (Utility Connection), Cell Site modification, Retaining Wall over 6’ high, and Solar/photovoltaic up to 15Kw – Residential.
New fee categories were added: S1 Parking Garages (open or closed) above 50,000 square feet, Defensible Space Review, Roof Repair up to 400 sq.ft., and Public Art - Structural Review.
In addition to these changes, the Study’s efforts focused on review and refinement of the Department’s tools to calculate special cost recovery. The proposed fee schedule distinguishes between projects recommended by the Department as flat/fixed fee amounts, versus projects requiring an initial deposit and hourly billing basis for cost recovery.
Section 2, Methods of Analysis, provides additional discussion on the Study’s approach to adding, deleting, and revising fee categories.

Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 16 4.3 Cost Recovery Evaluation
Appendices A.2 and A.3 present the results of the detailed cost recovery analysis of fees for the City’s Building and Safety Services Department. In the Appendix, the “Cost of Service per Activity” column establishes the maximum adoptable fee amount for the corresponding service identified in the “Fee Name” list. This Cost of Service per Activity is reflective of the Building and Safety Department’s total estimated cost for review of each plan/permit, as well as any supporting department/division review as required by the City’s established development review processes.
Currently, the Department is recovering approximately 93% of the total cost of providing services from fees. As Table shows, the City collects approximately $3.6 million per year in revenue at the current fee amounts. At full cost recovery and the same demand level for these services, the City would recover approximately $3.9 million.
Table 5. Cost Recovery Outcomes
NBS provided a full cost of service evaluation and the framework for considering fees, while the City departments determined the appropriate cost recovery levels at or below full cost amounts. The “Recommended Fee Level/Deposit” column in Appendices A.2 and A.3 display City staff’s initially recommended fee amounts. Staff recommends all fees to recover 100% of the costs of providing services except for the following miscellaneous permits, in order to keep those affordable and encourage public safety for Rancho Cucamonga residents:
Tent/Awnings
Wall opening (windows/doors) new/altered
Block wall 3-6 ft high - 1st 100 linear ft.
Fence (wood, wrought iron, chain link) over 6' high
Interior remodel (residential)
Siding, stucco, brick, or stone veneer
Solar/photovoltaic - 0-250 kw Commercial
Insulation / drywall
Cabana - outdoor living area with walls
Carports
Exhaust hood, vent fan, ventilation system, Heating unit, compressor, or Evaporative cooler Residential /commercial each
These initial recommendations for adjusted fee amounts are still projected to recover approximately
99.6% of the total costs of providing fee-related services, assuming the demand for services remains the same.

As discussed in section 2.2.4, Comparative Fee Survey, NBS compared the City’s current list of fees to those of 5 comparison agencies selected by the City. While the results of comparative fee surveys are often non-conclusive for many fee categories due to comparison agencies typically using varied terminology for the provision of similar services, NBS made every reasonable attempt to source each comparison agency’s fee schedule. The results of the comparison are presented in Appendix B.2 to this report.

Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 18 GENERAL PLAN MAINTENANCE SURCHARGE
The City of Rancho Cucamonga updates its General Plan on a routine basis. This Plan helps to guide the growth of the community in a consistent manner. Government Code 66014 (b) allows local agencies to, “…include the costs reasonably necessary to prepare and revise the plans and policies that a local agency is required to adopt before it can make any necessary findings and determinations”. This section of the Government Code supports inclusion of general plan maintenance and update costs in fees for service.
5.1 Cost of Service Analysis
As shown in Table below, the City would need to collect approximately $409,000 per year in funding for the purpose of updating and maintaining the General Plan.
Table 6. Annual General Plan Update Costs
This is based on the City’s estimate of $2.5 million in contract costs required to update the General Plan every 10 years, plus 50% of the estimated costs of Advance / Long Range Planning staff support quantified in Section 4 of this report. Also, the City currently charges a General Plan Maintenance Fee and has accrued a fund balance, which is also shown as an offset to the contractor cost requirements included in the fee calculation.
5.2 Fee Establishment
The City currently collects a 10% General Plan Maintenance Fee, applicable to specific planning applications and building permit types. In general, the Fee applies to projects that either impact or are subject to policies in the General Plan. The City and consultants reviewed the proposed list of development user fees and determined the following Planning Department and Building and Safety Department fee items are eligible for the surcharge:

List of Fees Eligible for SurchargePlanning Department Building & Safety Department
City of Rancho Cucamonga (City)
Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 20 The recommended fee revenue for relevant fee types subject to this Surcharge is approximately $2.6 million. The following table provides options for surcharge amounts based on various cost recovery targets:
Table 8. General Plan Implementation Fee Calculation
Each jurisdiction’s policy makers must decide to what degree new development impacts the revision and maintenance efforts to their Plan. For jurisdictions with large amounts of undeveloped land available, the impact is typically considered higher than for jurisdictions that are closer to “build-out” of available land resources. This surcharge should apply to projects with the largest relative impact on the maintenance, update, and use of the City’s General Plan.
5.3 Cost Recovery Evaluation
The City’s existing General Plan Maintenance Fee recovers approximately 92% of the Department’s cost of providing services. As shown in the following table, the City collects approximately $376,000 per year in revenues at current fee amounts. At full cost recovery, the same demand for these services would generate approximately $409,000.
Table 9. Cost Recovery Outcomes
Upon reviewing this information and options for establishing this surcharge, City staff recommends continuing to charge the current 10% fee. If adopted, the fee could generate approximately $257,000 per year. The remaining unfunded amount would be subsidized by other City revenue sources such as the general fund. This is appropriate considering there is a broader community benefit received from the Plan, as well as use of the Plan by other non-development services departments such as public safety and utilities.

Fee Study – Planning & Building and Safety Services Departments 21 CONCLUSION
Based on the Cost-of-Service Analysis, Cost Recovery Evaluation, and Proposed Fee phases of analysis in this Study, the proposed master schedule of fees formatted for implementation has been prepared and included in the City’s accompanying staff report.
As discussed throughout this report, the proposed fee schedule includes fee increases intended to greatly improve the City’s recovery of costs incurred to provide individual services, as well as to adjust fees downward where fees charge exceed the average costs incurred.
Predicting the amount to which any adopted fee increases will affect Department revenues is difficult to quantify. For the near-term, the City should not count on increased revenues to meet any specific expenditure plan. Experience with these fee increases should be gained first before revenue projections are revised. However, unless there is some significant, long-term change in activity levels at the City, proposed fee amendments should – over time – enhance the City’s revenue capabilities, providing it the ability to stretch other resources further for the benefit of the public at large.
The City’s Master Fee Schedule should become a living document but handled with care:
A fundamental purpose of the fee schedule is to provide clarity and transparency to the public and to staff regarding fees imposed by the City. Once adopted by the Council, the fee schedule is the final word on the amount and manner in which fees should be imposed by the departments. Old fee schedules should be superseded by the new master document. If the master document is found to be missing fees, those fees need eventually to be added to the master schedule and should not continue to exist outside the consolidated, master framework.
NBS recommends the City adjust fees on an annual basis to keep pace at least with cost inflation. The City’s historical approach has been to apply the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employee Cost Index for State and Local Government Employees – Total Compensation. In NBS’ opinion, the City’s approach is in line with industry standards and could be continued.
Conducting a comprehensive user fee Study is not an annual requirement; it becomes worthwhile only over time as significant shifts in organization, local practices, legislative values, or legal requirements change. In NBS’ experience, a comprehensive analysis such as this should be performed every three to five years. It should be noted that when an automatic adjustment is applied annually, the City is free to use its discretion in applying the adjustment; not all fees need to be adjusted, especially when there are good policy reasons for an alternate course. The full cost of service is the City’s only limit in setting its fees.
As a final note in this Study, it is worth acknowledging the path that fees in general have taken in California. The public demands ever more precise and equitable accounting of the basis for governmental fees and a greater say in when and how they are imposed. It is inevitable in the not-too-distant future that user fees and regulatory fees will demand an even greater level of analysis and supporting data to meet the public’s evolving expectations. Technology systems will play an increased and significant role in an agency’s ability to accomplish this. Continuous improvement and refinement of time tracking abilities will greatly enhance the City’s ability to set fees for service and identify unfunded activities in years to come.
