AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 5.08.100 OF THE RANCHO
CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE TO AMEND THE LIMITATION ON
TOTAL VALUE OF PRIZES AWARDED DURING THE CONDUCT OF
BINGO GAMES
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 5.08.100 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code is hereby amended
in its entirety to read as follows:
"Each organization holding a license under this chapter shall conduct bingo games in accordance
with the following requirements:
A. No minor shall be allowed to participate in any bingo games;
B. The licensee shall conduct bingo games on property as listed on the license application
form;
C. All bingo games shall be open to the public, not just to the members of the licensee
organization;
D. A bingo game shall be operated and staffed only by members of the licensee organization.
No person shall receive or pay a profit, wage or salary from any bingo game;
E. No individual, corporation, partnership or other entity except the licensee organization
shall hold a financial interest in the conduct of such bingo game;
F. No person who is obviously intoxicated shall be allowed to participate in a bingo game,
and no alcoholic beverage shall be allowed to be consumed in the room in which the bingo
game is being conducted;
G. No person shall be allowed to participate in a bingo game, unless a person is physically
present at the time and place at which the bingo game is being conducted;
H. The total value of prizes awarded during the conduct of any bingo games shall not exceed
the total value set forth in California Penal Code Section 326.5, in cash or kind, or both,
for each separate game which is held.
I. No licensee shall conduct bingo games more than two days per calendar week and more
than six hours out of any 24-hour period. No bingo game shall be conducted before 10:00
a.m. nor after 11:59 p.m. of any day."
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby finds that adoption of this Ordinance does not constitute a
"project" within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) because there is no potential that
the regulations of bingo games will result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in
the environment. In addition, this Ordinance falls within the "common sense" CEQA exemption set forth in
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because "it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility
that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment."
SECTION 3. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance is for any
reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of any competent jurisdiction, such
Ordinance No. 1040 - Page 1 of 3
decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby
declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, and each and every section, subsection, sentence,
clause, or phrase not declared invalid or unconstitutional without regard to whether any portion of the
Ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the
same to be published in the manner prescribed by law.
