Gillison, City Manager INITIATED BY:Jason C. Welday, Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Marlena C. Perez, Principal Engineer Sarine Hazarshahian, Assistant Engineer SUBJECT:Consideration of a Contract with Onyx Paving Company, Inc., in the Amount of $2,636,000 Plus 10% Contingency for Construction for the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Local Overlay Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Project). This Project is Exempt from the Requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Government Code Section 15301 – Existing Facilities. (CITY) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Approve the plans and specifications for the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Local Overlay Pavement Rehabilitation (Project) on file with the City Engineer; 2. Accept the bids received for the Project; 3. Award and authorize the execution of a contract in the amount of $2,636,000, to the lowest responsive bidder, Onyx Paving Company, Inc, for the total bid amount; and 4. Authorize the expenditure of a 10% contingency for the construction contract in the amount of $263,600. BACKGROUND: The City uses asphalt overlay as a paving method to apply a new layer of asphalt to deteriorating roadway surfaces. Instead of replacing the existing asphalt surface completely, asphalt overlays will use the existing layers as a base for the new asphalt pavement. An asphalt overlay project extends the life of the pavement an additional eight (8) to fifteen years. Engineering staff used its Pavement Management System (PMS) to determine the list of neighborhood streets to be resurfaced. PMS is a planning tool that analyzes existing pavement conditions and identifies good, fair, poor conditions. A vicinity map illustrating the various neighborhood streets schedule for asphalt overlay is included as Attachment 1. ANALYSIS: The scope of work for the Project consists of weed control, routing and crack sealing, asphalt concrete overlay, adjusting existing manholes and valves to the new grade, thermoplastic restriping, installation of pavement markings, upgrading curb ramps to meet ADA standards and concrete repairs. The contract documents call for eighty (80) working days for construction completion. Page 21 Page 2 2 8 4 2 The Notice Inviting Bids was released to the general contracting community and was published in the Daily Bulletin Newspaper on May 6 and May 13, 2025. The City Clerk’s office facilitated the formal solicitation for bidding the Project. On May 20, 2025, the City Clerk’s office received three (3) construction bids. The Engineer’s estimate for the Project was $3,000,000. The apparent low bidder Onyx Paving Company, Inc. submitted a bid in the amount of $2,636,000. A full bid summary is included as Attachment 2. Engineering staff has reviewed all bids received and found all to be complete and in compliance with the bid requirements, with any irregularities deemed inconsequential. Staff has completed the required background investigation and finds the lowest responsive bidder Onyx Paving Company, Inc. meets all bid document requirements. ENVIRONMENTAL: Staff has determined that the project is Categorically Exempt per Section 15301 “Existing Facilities” subsection (c), Class 1 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). FISCAL IMPACT: Anticipated construction costs are estimated to be as follows: Expenditure Category Amount Construction Contract $2,636,000 Construction Contract Contingency (10%)$263,600 Construction Inspection Services*$83,720 Construction Inspection Contingency (10%)*$8,375 Construction Soils and Materials Testing Services*$25,940 Construction Monumentation Survey Services $46,760 Bid Noticing Advertisement $1,665 Estimated Construction Costs $3,066,060 *Construction Inspection, Survey and Soils and Materials Testing is estimated to be approximately 6% of the base construction contract.

This Project is Exempt From the Requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Pursuant to Government Code Section 15301 – Existing Facilities. (CITY) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Approve the plans and specifications for the Westside Library Expansion Project (Project); 2. Accept the 11 responsive bids received for the Project; 3. Award and authorize the execution of a contract in the amount of $11,500,000 to the lowest responsive bidder, ACC Contractors, Inc.; 4. Authorize the expenditure of a 10% contingency in the amount of $1,150,000; and 5. Authorize the execution by the City Manager of an Amendment to contract No. 2019-141 with Willdan Engineering to increase the annual compensation limit to $1,500,000. BACKGROUND: This Project will create an expanded library facility at the City-owned Lions East and West sites. The Legislature and Governor of the State of California have provided funds for the Building Forward Library Infrastructure Grant program through the passing of California Senate Bill 129. This is an amendment to the Budget Act of 2021 which authorized $439M in funding to support library maintenance and capital projects through sustainable and equity-focused matching grants on a one-time basis. On March 19, 2022, the Library submitted a grant request for first round funding and on October 18, 2022, received an “intent to fund” award letter to fund the Westside Library Expansion Project in the amount of $6,498,126. This grant requires a 50% match by the City in the amount of $3,249,063. In April 2023, the City entered a contract with DLR Group, Inc. to provide project design services for the Westside Library Expansion Project. The scope of work for design services awarded to DLR Group, Inc. included design of an exterior central courtyard; modernizing and unifying the building exteriors; redesigning interior spaces to include library Page 26 Page 2 2 8 4 9 collections, programming, technology, study, and staff areas; redesign and update all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing features; and creation of architectural specifications and bid set for the project. ANALYSIS: The scope of work for the project includes a full interior demolition and renovation of the Lions East and West buildings to accommodate modern library programmatic needs. Interior improvements will feature a welcoming public lobby, areas for collections, customer service counters, individual and group study rooms, community event spaces, and designated staff and administrative areas. Exterior renovations will include new paint and finish treatments, an architectural canopy element to visually unify the two buildings, updated signage, and replacement of all windows and glazing. Site enhancements will provide accessible walkways and paths of travel, a new courtyard hardscape, and updated landscaping and irrigation. The project also includes new roofing, lighting, ventilation, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, along with updated technology throughout the facility. Selected plan sheets are included for reference in Attachment 1. The contract documents call for 282 working days to complete this project. The Notice Inviting Bids was released to the general contracting community and was published in the Daily Bulletin on April 22 and 29, 2025. The City’s Procurement Office facilitated the formal solicitation for bidding the project. On May 20, 2025, the City Clerk’s Office received 12 construction bids. The Engineer’s estimate for the project was $12,500,000. The apparent low bidder is ACC Contractors, Inc. who submitted a bid in the amount of $11,500,000. A full bid summary is included as Attachment 2. Staff has reviewed all 12 bids received and found 11 of them to be complete and one incomplete in accordance with the bid requirements with any irregularities to be inconsequential. Staff has completed the required background investigation and finds the lowest responsive bidder, ACC Contractors, Inc., meets the requirements of the bid documents. A copy of Contract No. 2019-141 is on file with the City Clerk’s Office. ENVIRONMENTAL: Staff has determined that the Project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per California Code of Regulations Section 15301 “Existing Facilities” subsection (a), Class 1. A Notice of Exemption was filed with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors for San Bernardino County on April 12, 2024.

Over the years, the scope of services has changed from time-to-time as new opportunities have come up and existing programs and services were re-evaluated. Over the last few years, the City has worked with the Chamber to update the scope of services to better align resources with current and emergent economic development needs and trends. Services and programs provided by the Chamber enhance support for the City’s ongoing economic development efforts. ANALYSIS: As previously noted, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has historically contracted with the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce to provide services related to promoting businesses and enhancing economic development.

Gillison, City Manager INITIATED BY:Jevin Kaye, Finance Director Rick Flinchum, Finance Manager Kelly Guerra, Special Districts Analyst SUBJECT:Consideration to Approve and Adopt Resolutions Certifying the Results of Elections and Adding Annexation Nos. 2025-6, 2025-7, 2025-8, 2025-9, and 2025-10 to Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Street Lighting Services) of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. (RESOLUTION NOS. 2025- 022 TO 2025-026) (CITY) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve and adopt the Resolutions Certifying the Results of Elections and Adding Annexations Nos. 2025-6, 2025-7, 2025-8, 2025-9, and 2025-10 to Community Facilities District No. 2022-01. BACKGROUND: The City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-063 (the “Resolution Authorizing Future Annexation”) authorizing the future annexation of territory to Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Street Lighting Services) (the “CFD 2022-01”) to provide maintenance and services to streetlights, traffic signals, and appurtenant facilities for new development. The City conditions property owners to annex such properties into the existing CFD 2022-01 to fund street light service and maintenance. In April 2025, the Property Owners signed an Annexation Proceeding Deposit Agreement to initiate the annexation process. ANALYSIS: In May 2025, the Property Owners submitted their Consent and Waivers and their Official Ballots, one for each annexation, to the City Clerk’s Office Election Official. The Election Official has canvassed the ballots and completed the statement of votes cast (See Exhibit “A” of their respective Resolution). The Property Owners cast their vote unanimously in favor of the special tax levy for CFD 2022-01. Adoption of the Resolutions constitutes the City Council’s formal action certifying the election results and adding the Annexation Territories to CFD 2022-01 and directs the recordation of an amendment to the existing Notice of Special Tax Lien. By recordation of this amendment, prospective purchasers of the property within the Annexation Territories will have notice of the special tax obligation affecting such properties. A map showing the property is included in their respective Resolution. Page 77 Page 2 2 8 4 3 FISCAL IMPACT: CFD 2022-01 was formed to be financially self-sufficient, meaning the revenues generated by the District offset the costs of providing services and can be adjusted annually based on changes in the overall operating costs of streetlights. COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED: This item addresses the City Council’s core value of intentionally embracing and anticipating our future by ensuring that new development is fiscally sustainable.

Gillison, City Manager INITIATED BY:Jevin Kaye, Finance Director Rick Flinchum, Finance Manager Kelly Guerra, Special Districts Analyst SUBJECT:Consideration of Approval of Resolutions for the Landscape Maintenance Districts, Street Lighting Maintenance Districts, and Park and Recreation Improvement District as follows: (1) Resolutions Ordering the Preparation of the Annual Engineer’s Reports; (2) Resolutions Approving the Preliminary Annual Engineer’s Reports; (3) Resolutions of Intention to Levy Annual Assessments and Sets the Time and Place for a Public Hearing for Each. (RESOLUTION NOS. 2025-027 TO 2025-035) (CITY) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions for Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) Nos. 1, 2, 3B, 4-R, 6-R, 7, 8, 9, and 10; Street Lighting Maintenance District (SLD) Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8; and Park and Recreation Improvement District No. 85 (PD-85) (collectively, the “Districts”): 1. Adopt Resolutions Ordering the Preparation of the Annual Engineer’s Reports; 2. Adopt Resolutions Approving the Preliminary Annual Engineer’s Reports; 3. Adopt Resolutions of Intention to Levy Annual Assessments and Sets a Public Hearing for July 16, 2025. BACKGROUND: The City of Rancho Cucamonga oversees the management of the Districts, which involves determining the annual assessment rates that property owners must pay for the maintenance and operations of the parks and landscaping within each District, such as maintaining turf, ground cover, landscape lighting, irrigation systems, graffiti removal, hardscapes, playground, and related facilities, and providing street lighting coverage, operation of street lights, traffic signals, and associated facilities, throughout the city. Each District maintains specific improvements per its boundaries, while PD-85 was established to provide for the City’s two largest parks, Heritage Community Park and Red Hill Community Park. Property owners pay these assessments based on the Districts in which they live or own property. Without the assessments, funding wouldn’t exist to provide maintenance or services to the community, and the financial burden would be directed to the City’s General Fund resources, which would take away resources from other services offered to the community. Property owners pay the annual assessment through their property tax bills, but it is separate from the general levy of property tax. Page 104 Page 2 2 8 5 1 Each year, the City Council is recommended to adopt three resolutions for the LMDs, SLDs, and PD-85, each of which together performs the following steps as set by the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972: 1. The City Council initiates the creation of the Annual Engineer’s Report. 2. The City Council reviews and accepts the preliminary Annual Engineer’s Report. 3. The City Council announces its intention to levy annual assessments and sets a date and location for a public hearing. If adopted, the City Council will conduct a public hearing on July 16, 2025, and following the public hearing, the City Council may pass a resolution confirming the assessment levy as recommended. Once this resolution is officially adopted, the Districts will be reaffirmed for the upcoming fiscal year, and the assessments will be added to the San Bernardino County tax rolls before the August deadline. These assessments will appear as a separate item on each parcel’s property tax bill. The recommended rates were developed as part of the Fiscal Year 2025/26 budget process and are included in each District's projected revenues. ANALYSIS: Each District within the City has its distinct improvements based on its boundaries and the community it serves. It is important to note that each District’s assessment rate must adhere to the maximum allowable rate as mandated by state law. To ensure the financial viability of each District, the City’s staff conducts an annual financial analysis. This analysis considers the current operational requirements as well as the anticipated needs for future capital replacements within each District. During the budget process, the City staff evaluates each District’s financial situation and provides a recommendation for assessment rates to the City Council. The recommended rates are designed to align with the operational and capital needs of each District for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2025/26. As such, the recommended assessment rates are based on various factors, including inflation, the rising costs associated with providing services, and the need to secure funding for necessary capital expenditures. City staff recommends increases to some districts to ensure that sufficient funds are available to cover the increasing costs of maintaining and operating them. Specifically, costs associated with providing services such as park maintenance, landscaping, and street lighting have increased due to labor costs, materials, and rising utility rates. Moreover, staff recommends increasing rates when necessary to ensure funding is set aside for future capital expenditures, which is essential for the long-term sustainability of the Districts. In addition to the revenue from the assessments, another revenue source from certain districts is transfers of funds from the City’s General Fund. Those transfers come in two forms: mandated contributions per the engineer’s report for the portion that is considered a general benefit to the community or per the City’s General Fund Subsidy to Special District Policy. The former is legally required and is determined per Proposition 218 provisions. For the City, the only District that has a mandated contribution from the City’s General Fund is LMD 2, of which the general benefit portion is 8.62% of the operational expenditures. For the Fiscal Year 2025/26, LMD 2 is budgeted to receive $373,580 from the General Fund. Page 105 Page 3 2 8 5 1 LMD 2 was originally formed when the Victoria area was developed in the 1990s. At that time, the law did not require a specific general benefit calculation and apportionment. Subsequently, when the City took LMD 2, 4, and 6 to a vote in the early 2000s, to include an inflator to allow assessments to keep pace with rising costs, the law still did not require a specific general benefit calculation and apportionment. During those respective elections, LMD 2 was voted down by the residents, and LMDs 4 and 6 were approved. The two measures that passed were renamed LMD 4R and 6R. Following the election, services were reduced in LMD 2. At the same time, the California Courts began reviewing a series of cases between 2009 and 2013 that pertained to the general benefit requirement. Ultimately, the Courts determined new LMD measures had to include a specific general benefit calculation by land use category. When LMD 2 was put back in front of the voters, following those court cases, it was approved and thus contains a legally mandated general benefit subsidy from the General Fund. In 2016, the City took Measure A for LMD 1 and PD 85, to create new districts with an inflator to the voters. That measure also contained a minimum legally required general fund subsidy in the amount of 11%, but it was voted down overwhelmingly by the voters. Subsequently, the City determined that to subsidize only one district, even if legally required, but not provide a similar equitable amount of funding to other districts, would be impractical and illogical. Thus, the General Fund Subsidy to Special Districts Policy was developed. This policy provides for contributions from the General Fund where required by law, or where no other practical solution exists. It has been utilized to provide a funding subsidy to the existing Street Light Districts (SLDs) as new SLDs are practically speaking impossible to create and get voter approval for on existing street lights. It also helps provide an equitable General Fund subsidy to all landscape districts, if needed, because the District is at the maximum allowable assessment, provided the general benefit equivalent does not exceed 11% of the adjusted total budget. That 11% factor is meant to provide equity with the east side planned communities; however, the actual subsidy factor is determined through the annual budget process and might be less than 11% based on the financial needs of the District or more than 11% when the necessary financial resources exceed that threshold. As a note, other districts that have had ballot measures, including LMD 4-R, 6-R, and 8, since Proposition 218 was established, do not have mandated contributions from the City’s General Fund because when they went to election, the case law was under review by the courts and a final decision including direction and a formula to calculate general benefit was not yet in place. The following LMDs and PD-85 are recommended to receive subsidies in Fiscal Year 2025/26 as part of the budget approval process: LMD 1: A contribution of $158,870, or 11% of the operating expenditures. LMD 1 will also receive $121,440 for operational expenditures and $39,210 for capital replacement from Community Facilities District No. 2018-01, The Resort at Empire Lakes. LMD 6-R: No contribution is budgeted from the General Fund for FY 2025/26 as revenues in LMD 6-R are anticipated to be sufficient for the upcoming year. The voters of LMD 6-R have approved an annual assessment rate escalator tied to the consumer price index, which slightly reduces the financial burden from the General Fund. PD-85: A contribution of $118,420, allocated as $34,130 for the operations of Red Hill and Heritage Parks, equaling 3% of operating expenditures, and $84,290 for the Red Hill Water Feature, or 100% of the operating expenditures for that community-wide improvement. PD-85 will also receive $43,020 for operational expenditures and $46,980 for capital replacement from Community Facilities District No. 2018-01, The Resort at Empire Lakes. Page 106 Page 4 2 8 5 1 The following SLDs will receive subsidies in Fiscal Year 2025/26. For SLDs, the subsidy may exceed 11%, as previously stated, because service levels cannot be reduced as they can for LMDs. As such, transfers from the City’s General Fund are budgeted only to the extent needed to eliminate any funding deficit or insufficient reserves. However, with the formation of Community Facilities District No. 2022-01, Street Lighting Services, the new development will provide additional funding to SLDs, which, over an extended period, should reduce the financial burden on the City’s General Fund. SLD 2: A contribution of $146,120, or 19% of the operating expenditures. SLD 2 will also receive $67,000 from Community Facilities District No. 2018-01, the Resort at Empire Lakes, and $22,220 from Community Facilities District No. 2022-01, Street Lighting Services. SLD 5: A contribution of $22,040, or 41% of the operating expenditures, due to the negative fund balance. SLD 7: A contribution of $36,050, or 20% of the operating expenditures. Incorporating the above analysis of transfers from the City’s General Fund, the following is an additional analysis for consideration about the recommended assessment rates for the Fiscal Year 2025/26: Due to changes in State law with Proposition 218, the City cannot increase assessment rates without voter approval for certain Districts. These Districts include LMD 1, LMD 7, LMD 8, SLDs 1 to 7, and PD-85. In these cases, services are reduced where feasible to lower operating costs, or capital projects are deferred in order to keep the District from being in a deficit. As indicated above, some of these Districts receive funding from the City’s General Fund in the form of General Benefit Equivalent to support operations. As previously mentioned, that funding is approved by the City Council per City policy. No changes are recommended for the assessment rates in LMD 3B and SLD 8, as staff have determined that the current rates are sufficient to meet the operational needs of these Districts. A 3% increase is recommended for LMD 2, from $572.06 to $589.22, which is below the maximum allowable rate of $613.93. This increase is necessary to cover rising operational costs and fund planned capital improvement projects, including lighting repairs, playground replacement and upgrades at Victoria Arbors Park and Vintage Park, and the continuation of drought-tolerant landscaping installation. A 3% increase is recommended for LMD 4-R, from $437.86 to $451.00 per single-family residence, also below the maximum allowable rate of $547.29. This increase is required to address increased operational costs and support capital improvement projects, including a park shade replacement at Milliken Park and the continuation of drought- tolerant landscaping installation. A 2.94% increase is recommended for LMD 6-R, from $504.32 to $519.13 per single- family residence, which is the maximum increase allowable. This increase is required to address increased operational costs. A 3% increase is recommended for LMD 9, from $311.92 to $321.28 per single-family residence, also below the maximum allowable rate of $742.25. This increase is required to address increased operational costs and support the capital improvement project that includes new installation of electrical infrastructure, light poles, foundation of LED lighting at a single baseball field at Garcia Park. A 3% increase is recommended for LMD 10, from $887.43 to $914.05 per single-family residence, remaining below the maximum allowable rate of $1,142.19. This increase is necessary to cover increased operational costs and fund planned future capital improvement projects. Page 107 Page 5 2 8 5 1 The table below displays the maximum assessment rate, the current assessment rate, and the recommended assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2025/26. District Maximum Assessment Rate Current Assessment Rate Recommended Assessment Rate (FY 2025/26)Notes LMD 1 (General City)$92.21 $92.21 $92.21 A rate increase would require voter approval. LMD 2 (Victoria Neighborhoods Parks) $613.93 $576.06 $589.22 Recommend a 3.0% increase to reflect inflation costs and planned capital improvement projects. LMD 3B (Commercial Industrial) $352.80 $282.24 $282.24 No change is recommended. LMD 4-R (Terra Vista Planned Community) $547.29 $437.86 $451.00 Recommend a 3.0% increase to reflect inflation costs and planned capital improvement projects. LMD 6-R (Caryn Planned Community) $519.13 $504.32 $519.13 Recommend a 2.94% increase for the operating financial gap. LMD 6-R typically receives a subsidy from the General Fund, but this is not needed in this upcoming fiscal year. LMD 7 (North Etiwanda)$307.05 $307.05 $307.05 A rate increase would require voter approval. LMD 8 (South Etiwanda)$151.45 $151.45 $151.45 A rate increase would require voter approval. LMD 9 (Lower Etiwanda)$742.25 $311.92 $321.28 Recommend a 3.0% increase to reflect inflation costs and planned capital improvement projects. LMD 10 (Rancho Etiwanda) $1,142.19 $887.43 $914.05 Recommend a 3.0% increase to reflect inflation costs and planned future capital projects. SLD 1 (Arterials)$17.77 $17.77 $17.77 A rate increase would require voter approval. SLD 2 (Local Streets)$39.97 $39.97 $39.97 A rate increase would require voter approval.

PD-85 (Red Hill and Heritage Parks) $31.00 $31.00 $31.00 A rate increase would require voter approval. FISCAL IMPACT: Assessment revenues collected for each District are dedicated to its maintenance, operations, and capital improvements. As previously stated, each District covers the costs of maintenance that benefit the community's property owners. Without these Districts’ assessments, without the assessment funding that the District provides, the financial burden of maintaining those specific improvements would be the responsibility of the City's general tax dollars, and the City's General Fund would not be able to provide as vigorous and well-rounded services as it does. COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED: This item addresses the City Council’s core value of providing and nurturing a high quality of life for all by ensuring the City can provide services for parks and landscaping, which beautify the City and provide a means of recreation and leisure. It also emphasizes the City Council actively seeking and considering public input by ensuring these reports are available for the public and scheduling a public hearing on July 16, 2025.

Jason C. Welday Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Date Page 115 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 3 Fiscal Year 2025/26 INTRODUCTION Reason for Assessment Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to: Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include, but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement or facility such as paseos, community trails, fencing and irrigation systems, and providing for the growth, vigor and care of the trees and landscape plant materials. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting of landscape or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Process for Annual Assessment The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. During the course or upon Page 116 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing, must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it.

If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the boundaries of the District. Description of the Boundaries of the District The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of the District are generally described as that area of the City which is not located within the City's planned development communities. The District is made up of various landscaped sites throughout the City. As such, the parcels within the District do not represent a distinct district area as do the other landscape maintenance districts within the City. Typically parcels have been annexed to the District as they have developed. Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report. Description of Improvements and Services The improvements maintained by the District include the paseos, community trails, trees, landscaped sites and appurtenant facilities that are throughout the District. These improvements are located within the street right-of-ways and dedicated public easements which are within the boundaries of the District. The landscaping maintenance includes, but is not limited to, the pruning, fertilizing, mowing, weeding, pest control, removal of trash/debris, and irrigation of the trees, shrubs, vines, ground cover, and turf. Maintenance of associated improvements and facilities, such as community trails, fencing and irrigation systems, includes but is not limited to, grading and replacement of trail surfacing, trail fence repair and replacement, steel fence painting, repair and replacement, and irrigation systems control, adjustment, trouble-shooting, repair and Page 117 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 5 Fiscal Year 2025/26 replacement. Services include personnel, materials, contracting services, utilities, capital projects and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and repair required to keep the improvements in a healthy, vigorous and satisfactory condition.

Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the estimated costs of maintenance, available fund balance and maximum allowable assessment with the goal of maintaining the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance with Proposition 218. It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and tax collections from the County, whichever is later. Beginning with Fiscal Year 2016/17 the City will maintain a Capital Reserve Fund to be used for deferred maintenance and pending capital projects.

Page 137 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 25 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Other Revenues: This includes other revenues that are not levied through the annual assessments that support the District operations. These other revenues may include: interest earnings, other rental/lease income (cell site tower leases), Park Maintenance Fees, Sports Field User Group Rentals, and parking permits (Metrolink Station paid parking). METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement." Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by Page 138 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 26 Fiscal Year 2025/26 the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. General Benefit Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next "separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred," and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed. In this District, the improvements being financed consists of the maintenance of local improvements located within the boundaries of the District and include paseos, street trees, landscaped areas, Parks - 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 and appurtenant facilities that are located throughout the General City and were installed to create a common landscape theme and neighborhood identity for parcels within the District. The improvements are situated within the public rights-of-way of the internal local street network within the General City which provides ingress and egress for parcels within the District to access the City’s system of arterial streets. City residents and traffic from parcels not within the District do not use the internal local street network or paseos except for the express purpose of accessing properties located within the District, and therefore do not benefit from the improvements. Only parcels which are within the District and proximate to the improvements and within the District are being assessed. Accordingly, there is a direct physical and visual nexus between each parcel being assessed and the improvements to be funded by the assessment that does not exist for parcels outside of the District boundary and that is particular and distinct from that shared by the public at large. Under these circumstances, all of the benefits conferred are direct and local in nature, and provide a benefit to only those parcels located within the boundaries of the District. Based upon this, it has been determined that there is no quantifiable general benefit to the surrounding community and the public in general from the maintenance of the improvements within the boundaries of the District, and therefore no portion of the project costs should be attributed to general benefit. Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District and, as such, confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and Page 139 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 27 Fiscal Year 2025/26 • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing beautification, shade and overall enhancement to properties within the District. The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements, including the community trails, were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District, only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements is identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined are now being levied differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one EBU. Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Page 140 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 28 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel Multi-Family Residential 0.50 Unit Non-Residential 2.00 Acre The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.

The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public Page 150 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.

Page 173 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 27 Fiscal Year 2025/26 BENEFITS FROM IMPROVEMENTS AND QUANTIFICATION Benefits from Improvements The improvements previously defined are expected to confer certain special benefits to parcels within the District. The benefits are described below. Sidewalks and Community Trails People walk for a variety of reasons, whether the reason is to commute to work or school, run errands, shop, leisure activities, fitness, or some other purpose. To enhance the overall walking experience, pedestrians seek out and utilize sidewalk facilities and community trails that are in close proximity to their property and provide a safe place to walk as well as an environment that provides a certain amount of visual interest. Sidewalks and community trails serve as a critical component in the transportation network providing users access to parks and recreational areas, schools, commercial areas, and neighbors. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sidewalks provide many benefits including safety, mobility and healthier communities (FHWA, n.d). • Improved Aesthetics: A survey conducted by DMB (an Arizona based commercial developer) found that there was a strong demand for communities characterized by pedestrian access, a sense of connection, and a sense of community and diversity (Urban Land Institute, 2006). According to the Urban Land Institute report Creating Walkable Places: Compact Mixed-Use Solutions, people want their neighborhoods to provide more opportunities to walk (Urban Land Institute, 2006). A survey sponsored by the Surface Transportation Policy Project found that 55% of respondents would like to walk more, 63% would like to run errands on foot and walk to stores, and 79% would like sidewalks and other places to walk and exercise (Urban Land Institute, 2006). The continued maintenance of the inter-connecting sidewalks and community trails improves the livability and appeal for properties within the District. • Increased Safety: According to the FHWA, sidewalks reduce roadway accidents, including pedestrian/motor vehicle accidents. In addition, roadways without sidewalks are more than twice as likely to have pedestrians involved in accidents compared to sites with sidewalks on both sides of the street (FHWA, n.d.). In 2008, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) National Pedestrian Crash Report identified California as one of the states with the highest number of pedestrian deaths (NHTSA, 2008). • Economic Activity: Uniform and well-maintained sidewalk and community trail improvements create cohesion throughout the District. This cohesion enhances both the residential and retail experience as well as encourages maximum use of building and lot area. According to Active Living Research (2010), economic benefits of walkable developments include enhanced marketability and faster sales or leases than conventional development. The National Complete Streets Coalition notes that street Page 174 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 28 Fiscal Year 2025/26 design that is inclusive of all modes of transportation, where appropriate, not only improves conditions for and access to existing businesses, but also is a proven method for attracting new development (Pugliese, 2008). Street Landscaping The overall appeal and safety of an area is enhanced when landscaping improvements are in place and kept in a healthy and satisfactory condition. Conversely, appeal and safety decreases when landscaping is overgrown, unsafe or destroyed by the elements or vandalism. • Improved Aesthetics: Street landscaping improvements improve the livability, commercial activity, appearance and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District. Regular maintenance ensures that the improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties adjacent to or in close proximity to the improvements within the District. According to the Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011), streetscapes have a significant effect on how people view and interact with their community. With streetscapes that are safe and inviting, people are more likely to walk, which can help reduce automobile traffic, improve public health, stimulate local economic activity and attract residents to the community. • Increased Safety: Safety for pedestrians involves not only a degree of protection from vehicular accidents, but also from criminal activity. Well maintained areas mitigate crime, especially vandalism, and enhance pedestrian safety. A recent study has found that after landscape improvements were installed, there was a 46% decrease in crash rates across urban arterial and highway sites and a second study reviewed found a 5% to 20% reduction in mid-block crashes after trees and planters in urban arterial roads were put in place. In addition, there is less graffiti, vandalism, and littering in outdoor spaces with natural landscapes than in comparable plant-less spaces (Wolf, 2010). The Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011) has found that streetscapes reduce traffic speeds, and when combined with improved pedestrian crossing conditions, can significantly reduce collisions. Furthermore, maintained sidewalks and trails increase pedestrian safety by reducing the number of trips and falls from those using the improvements. • Economic Activity: Well-maintained street landscape improvements not only make adjacent properties appear more stable and prosperous, but can spur investment in the property. According to the FHWA, landscaped sidewalks create an inviting place for customers to shop and do business (FHWA, 2001). Parks Park facilities enhance the overall quality of an area and are an important component of complete and sustainable neighborhoods. Neighborhood parks offer both active and passive recreational opportunities: a place to play, exercise, spend time with neighbors, or relax. The parks within the District are developed and maintained to appeal to all age groups and interests, Page 175 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 29 Fiscal Year 2025/26 and promote a healthy community. Recreation and park facilities have proven to be a potent factor in maintaining a high standard of livability in the community. • Improved Aesthetics. The park improvements provide beautification, shade and enhancement to properties, which creates a sense of community for the parcels within the District. The overall appeal and desirability of an area is enhanced when public parks and recreational facilities are in place, improved, operable, safe, clean and maintained. Conversely, appeal and desirability decrease when park and recreational facilities are unsafe or destroyed by the elements or vandalism. According to The Trust for Public Land, Corporate CEOs say that employee quality of life is the third most important factor in locating new businesses (Harnik and Welle, n.d.). • Economic Activity: Parks attract both businesses and residents to communities. According to The Trust for Public Land, small company owners say recreation, parks and open spaces in close proximity to properties used for business purposes are the highest priority in choosing a new location for their businesses. As a result of the collective improvements (sidewalks, community trails, street landscaping and parks) being maintained, the overall livability for properties within the District will increase. Livability encompasses several qualities and characteristics that are unique to a specific area. The Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011) expands on the concept of livability and the various benefits associated with that designation: The livability of an area increases property desirability and business activity. Livability is largely affected by conditions in the public realm, places where people naturally interact with each other and their community, including streets, parks, transportation terminals and other public facilities. Livability also refers to the environmental and social quality of an area as perceived by employees, customers and visitors. This includes local environmental conditions, the quality of social interactions, opportunities for recreation and entertainment, aesthetics, and existence of unique cultural and environmental resources. Quantification of Benefit As a result of the District maintenance and servicing activities, there will be a level of general benefits to people that do not live in or intend to conduct business within the District. In order for property within the District to be assessed only for that portion of special benefits received from the District maintenance and servicing activities, general benefits provided by the ongoing maintenance and servicing of the improvements needs to be quantified. The amount of general benefit that is provided from the District maintenance activities cannot be funded via property owners’ assessments. The District currently consists of 5,843 single family residences, 525 condominium units, 589 multi-family (apartment) units, 51.88 acres of commercial property, 4 schools, 1 Church, 1 fire Page 176 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 30 Fiscal Year 2025/26 station, and 56.54 acres of undeveloped property. Properties are classified by their land use code as shown on San Bernardino County’s latest secured roll. Sidewalks and Community Trails The City is comprised of many smaller communities located throughout the City. Most of the communities have parks and schools that are proximate to and serve the residents in their immediate vicinity. There are four schools in addition to the six parks within the District. Two of the four schools have school District boundaries that are only within the District. However, two of the schools include areas outside of the District as part of their school district boundaries. The primary reason persons living outside the District would enter the District would be to access the schools. Therefore, we must consider the school district boundary areas outside of the District when analyzing the pedestrian traffic that may use the sidewalks and community trails within the District. The Summary of Travel Trends, 2009 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) prepared by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA, 2011) analyzed the number of person trips by various modes of transportations such as private vehicle, transit, walking or some other means of transportation. According to the Pacific Division data extracted from the 2009 NHTS database, of the annual 181,703 (in millions) total person trips, 21,252 (in millions) or 11.70% of those person trips were made by using walking as their mode of transportation (FHWA, 2011). According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2010), the average household size in the City is 2.98 persons. Based on this average household size, and considering there are 6,957 residential units within the District, there are approximately 20,732 people residing within the District boundaries. There are an estimated 12,000 residential units within the school district boundaries that are not within the boundaries of the District. Based on the City’s average household size, there are approximately 35,760 persons residing outside of the District boundaries, but within the school district boundaries. The following shows the estimated number of residential units and persons within the school district boundaries and either within or outside the District boundaries: School District Population Estimated Number of Residential Units Estimated Number of Persons Within District Boundaries 6,957 20,732 Outside District Boundaries 12,000 35,760 Total Population 18,957 56,492 In order to determine the estimated total number of persons who are within close proximity to the sidewalk and trail improvements, and would utilize walking as their mode of transportation, we applied the 11.70% of person trips reported from the NHTS Pacific Division study, to the total number of persons within District and school district boundaries (56,492). There are Page 177 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 31 Fiscal Year 2025/26 approximately 6,610 people within proximity of the District that utilize walking as their mode of transportation. Applying the 2009 NHTS walking trip percentage to the District population (20,732), we estimate that of the 6,610 persons who are within close proximity of the District and use walking as their primary mode of transportation, 2,426 people are within the District boundaries. Therefore, the total surrounding neighborhood area population, located outside of the District boundaries, but in close proximity to the sidewalk and trail improvements, who use walking as their primary mode of transportation is estimated to be 4,184 people. School District Population Estimated Number of Persons Within District Boundaries 2,426 Outside District Boundaries 4,184 Total Population – uses walking as primary mode of transportation 6,610 In order to obtain a better picture of the overall level of general benefit provided by the sidewalk and community trail improvements, the pedestrian traffic that utilizes walking as the mode of transportation that will seek out and use sidewalks and community trails within the District’s boundaries, but live outside of the District, must be considered. The 2009 NHTS further details the purposes of the 21,252 (in millions) reported walking trips. Based on the property types within the District, people utilizing the sidewalks and community trails within the District would most likely do so for the following reasons: walking to school, day care or religious activity, social or recreational activities, and shopping or running errands. The following details the number of walking trips, based on the 2009 NHTS study, for each of the activities that are the most likely reasons people outside of the District would use the sidewalk and community trail improvements within the District: Trip Purpose Number of Walking Trips (in millions) School/Daycare/Religious Activity 872 Shopping/Errands 5,820 Social/Recreational 2,268 Don’t know/Other 139 Total 9,099 Of the total number of walking trips reported, 9,099 (in millions) or 42.81% are for purposes that persons outside of the District would utilize the sidewalk and trail improvements within the District. Applying this percentage (42.81%) to the number of people using walking as their mode of transportation and that live outside of the District (4,184), but use the sidewalks and community trails within the District, there are approximately 1,791 people using the maintained sidewalks and community trails for general benefit purposes. The persons engaging in general benefit activities represents 3.17% of the total school district population (56,492), and is therefore considered to be District general benefit. Page 178 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 32 Fiscal Year 2025/26 School District Boundary General Benefit 3.17% Given the location and nature of the improvements, it is very unlikely the public at large would seek out or use the sidewalks and trails within the District, but would use those proximate to their own properties. The City has regional trails that connect different areas of the City, and those trails do appeal to and attract other residents of the City as well as residents that live outside the City. Nevertheless, it is likely that certain members of the public at large use the sidewalks or community trails within the District. As such, we have assigned a 1.00% general benefit for the sidewalk and community trails to the public at large. Public at large General Benefit 1.00% Based on the above calculations, the general benefit portion of the improved aesthetics, increased safety, and economic activity benefits resulting from the sidewalk and trail improvements is estimated to be 4.17% and the special benefit is estimated to be 95.83%. Sidewalk and Trail General Benefit 4.17% Street Landscaping Based upon the City’s General Plan (2010) Roadway Hierarchy, the streets within the District are classified into one of the following categories: arterial, collector, or local (minor) streets. The majority of street landscaping is located along roads classified as collector and local streets and primarily situated within the public right-of-ways of the internal local street network. A portion of the maintained landscaping is, however, located along the arterial streets, and, as such, provides some general benefit to pass-through traffic. Local Streets For purposes of determining general and special benefits, all streets within the District other than the specific streets listed as collector and arterial streets below are considered local streets. The local streets within the District were intended to serve individual neighborhoods and not to be pass-through streets, but cul-de-sacs or loop roads to reduce through traffic (Victoria Community Plan, 1980). In addition, according to the City’s General Plan (2010), the primary intended purpose of local streets is to serve fronting properties. From a visual inspection of the layout of the District one must conclude that the purpose of the local streets is exclusively intended for the benefit of the parcels on such streets. There is no local street that provides a direct or efficient means of traveling from one place to another such that one could reasonably expect a driver to purposefully choose the District’s local streets as the best route for travel unless necessary because the route either began or ended with a parcel in the District. A route beginning or ending with a parcel within the District does not include the “general public” for purposes of determining general benefit. Page 179 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 33 Fiscal Year 2025/26 However, one can imagine a minimal degree of pass through traffic even on something such as a cul-de-sac. As expressed by the Court in Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010), “... courts of this state have long recognized that virtually all public improvement projects provide general benefits." Given the location to the schools, parks, and shopping in the City, there are bound to be drivers that make use of the local streets for no other reason but to turn around or go back from where they came, especially if they are dropping their children off at one of the schools. Additionally, given the nature of the street landscaping, one could imagine a small degree of “residential tourism” wherein drivers are in fact simply “passing through” to enjoy the beautiful views of the homes, the natural surroundings or visiting friends. A conservative estimate of 1.00% for each scenario would result in the general benefit portion of the improved aesthetics, increase safety, and economic activity benefits resulting from the street landscaping improvements on local streets to be 2.00% and the special benefit is estimated to be 98.00%. Local Street General Benefit 2.00% Collector Streets: Victoria Park Ln, Etiwanda Ave, Highland Ave and Church St Because of the similarities in use, layout, type, and designation, the benefits of Victoria Park Ln, Etiwanda Ave, Highland Ave and Church St are considered to be equal. Etiwanda Ave, Highland Ave and Church St border the District and are used as the main access to and from properties within the District. Victoria Park Ln serves as the main access point to each of the four schools and is the connector street running through the District. Victoria Park Ln, Etiwanda Ave, Highland Ave and Church St connect the various neighborhoods, schools and parks within the District in addition to providing circulation between the local streets and the arterial network. As such, we must also consider the neighborhoods that surround the District and are within the school district boundaries, but not within the actual District when analyzing vehicle traffic that may use the streets within the District. The City’s Traffic Study (2009) does not include the traffic volume and number of daily trips on the connector streets within the District. As such a study is unavailable at this time we have use the NHTS Pacific Division data in order to estimate the number of drivers who use the streets within the District. According to the Pacific Division data extracted from the NHTS database, of the annual 181,703 (in millions) total person trips, 152,827 (in millions) or 84.11% of those trips were made using a personal motor vehicle (FHWA, 2011). According to the 2001 National Household Travel Survey, household file, U.S. Department of Transportation (2001), the mean drivers per household is 1.75. Based on the drivers per household average, and considering the 6,957 households within the District, there are approximately 12,175 drivers within the District. There are an estimated 12,000 residential units within the school district boundaries that are not within the boundaries of the District. Based on the drivers per household average, there are approximately 21,000 additional drivers that reside outside of the District boundaries, but are in close proximity to the District. Page 180 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 34 Fiscal Year 2025/26 School District Population Estimated Number of Residential Units Estimated Number of Drivers Within District Boundaries 6,957 12,175 Outside District Boundaries 12,000 21,000 Total 18,957 33,175 Applying the percentage of vehicle trips (84.11%) reported from the NHTS Pacific Division study to the District and school district boundaries area outside of the District population sets (33,175), approximately 27,903 people are within proximity of the District that utilize a private vehicle as their primary mode of transportation. Applying the 2009 NHTS vehicle trip percentage to the estimated number of drivers within the District (12,175) approximately 10,240 people within the District boundaries use a personal vehicle as their primary mode of transportation. Therefore, the total surrounding neighborhood area population, located outside of the District boundaries, that uses a vehicle as their mode of transportation is estimated to be 17,663 people. School District Population Estimated Number of Persons Within District Boundaries 10,240 Outside District Boundaries 17,663 Total Population – uses personal vehicle as primary mode of transportation 27,903 In order to obtain a better picture of the overall level of general benefit provided by the improvements, the vehicle traffic that will seek out and use the collector streets to access parcel’s within the District, but live outside of the District, must be considered. The 2009 NHTS further details the purposes of the 152,827 (in millions) reported vehicle trips. Based on the property types within the District, people utilizing the collector streets to access properties within the District would most likely do so for the following reasons: attend school, day care or religious activity, social or recreational activities, and to shop or run errands. The following details the number of vehicle trips for each of the activities that are the most likely reasons people outside of the District would use the collector streets to access properties within the District: Trip Purpose Number of Vehicle Trips (in millions) School/Daycare/Religious Activity 6,470 Shopping/Errands 30,998 Social/Recreational 16,185 Don’t know/Other 688 Total 54,341 Of the total number of vehicle trips reported, 54,341 (in millions) or 35.56% are for purposes that persons outside of the District would most likely utilize the collector streets within the District. Applying this percentage to the number of people using vehicles as their primary mode of Page 181 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 35 Fiscal Year 2025/26 transportation and live outside of the District (17,663), but would use Victoria Park Ln, Etiwanda Ave, Highland Ave or Church St as a connector to their destination within the District, there are approximately 6,281 people using the maintained streets for general benefit purposes. The persons engaging in general benefit activities represents 18.93% of the total estimated drivers (33,175), and is therefore considered to be District general benefit. As previously mentioned, the local street special benefit has been estimated at 98.00% and, as such, the estimated minimum special benefit of Victoria Park Ln, Etiwanda Ave, Highland Ave and Church St should be reduced by 2.00% to account for that portion of traffic using local streets representing general benefit. Based on the above calculations, the general benefit portion of the improved aesthetics, increased safety, and economic activity benefits resulting from the street landscaping improvements on collector streets is estimated to be 20.93% and the special benefit is estimated to be 79.07%. Collector Street General Benefit 20.93% Arterial Streets: Milliken Ave, Base Line Rd, Day Creek Blvd and Rochester Ave Arterial streets are intended to provide a higher degree of mobility and generally serve longer vehicle trips. The arterial streets with landscape improvements serve not only residents in the immediate vicinity, but persons who live outside of the District and are passing by. The City’s Traffic Study (2009) does not identify the percentage of traffic on arterial streets, which is pass- through traffic. Before we determine and allocate the percentage of special and general benefit for the arterial streets, we must first compute the estimated pass-through traffic. In lieu of having a study that identifies the pass-through traffic on the arterial streets, the estimated number of special benefit trips on the collector streets has been used since in order to enter or exit the District, a vehicle must travel on one of the arterial streets listed below. Per the City’s General Plan (2010), collector streets have an estimated 5,000 to 20,000 vehicles per day, for an average of 12,500. Taking the 12,500 average daily trips for collector streets, 2,616 trips (20.93%) are for general benefit purposes, and 9,884 trips (79.07%), is deemed to be for special benefit purposes. Estimated Number of Trips Collector Street Special Benefit – 79.07% 9,884 Collector Street General Benefit – 20.93%1 2,616 Total 12,500 (1) The 20.93% general benefit percentage already includes the 2.00% general benefit to account for the portion of traffic using for local streets. The City’s Traffic Study (2009) does provide an estimated number of daily trips for specific areas within the District. When the City’s Traffic Study (2009) did not provide the estimated number of daily trips the average number was derived from the estimates provided in the City’s General Plan. Page 182 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 36 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Street Name Average Number of Vehicles per Day1 Milliken Ave 30,400 Base Line Rd 19,140 Day Creek Blvd 25,000 Rochester Ave 12,500 (1) Average Number of Vehicles per Day is from the City’s Traffic Study for Milliken Ave and Base Line Rd, (average based on City’s Traffic Study at points of street within the District), and from the City’s General Plan for Day Creek Blvd and Rochester Ave. Based on the estimated number of 9,884 trips for special benefit purposes, we then reduce the average number of vehicles for each arterial street, to calculate our estimated pass-through trips. The pass-through trips are vehicles driving along the maintained streets within the District for a portion of their trips, but not residing in the District or benefiting from the landscaping improvements in place. Street Name Average Number of Vehicles per Day Less: Estimated Special Benefit Trips Estimated Number of Pass Through Trips Estimated % General Benefit Milliken Ave 30,400 9,884 20,516 67.49% Base Line Rd 19,140 9,884 9,256 48.36% Day Creek Blvd 25,000 9,884 15,116 60.47% Rochester Ave 12,500 9,884 2,616 20.93% Although Rochester Ave is listed as an arterial, the City’s General Plan (2010) Roadway Hierarchy includes this street as a Tertiary Travel Corridor, which categorizes the street as more locally oriented and locally travelled. In addition, the Roadway Hierarchy says that the typical number of vehicles per day is between 10,000 and 15,000 (average 12,500). Etiwanda Avenue and Church St are also included in the category, and as such, the general benefit trip percentage is close to the same as for the collector streets. As previously mentioned, the estimated minimum special benefit of Milliken Ave, Base Line Rd, Day Creek Blvd and Rochester Ave have already been reduced by 2% to account for that portion of traffic using local streets representing general benefit. Street Landscaping General Benefit Percentage The general benefit percentages determined in the previous sections were then applied to each type of road in the District. The area in square feet of landscaping being maintained in the District was determined by the City’s Public Works Department. The general benefit percentage for each road and street type was multiplied by the total square footage being maintained for such street. The general benefit square footage was summed for all street segments and divided into the total square footage of all landscaping maintenance. The result is the overall general benefit percentage. The following table details this calculation.

Neighborhood Parks The six parks within the District were installed specifically for the residents of the District. Each of the parks is considered to be a neighborhood park, intended to serve those parcels within a one-half mile radius from the park. All parcels within the District are within a one-half mile from one of the six neighborhood parks, and most parcels outside of the District have their own neighborhood parks within close proximity. Even though the park facilities were installed for the benefit of the residents and those working within the District, there will be some general benefit to those people who do not live or conduct business inside the District. There are 43.10 acres of park land within the District. According to the Trip Generation (2003) report, a City park generates an average of 1.59 trips per acre, with a range of rates between 1.04 – 8.00 (arithmetic mean is 4.52). Considering the mean rate per acre (4.52 trips), there are approximately 195 daily trips generated for parks within the District. According to the 2009 NHTS database, the average number of persons per vehicle is estimated to be 1.61 persons. Therefore, based on the 195 daily park trips generated, 314 people are using the parks within the District. There is a standard of one-half mile as a reasonable distance to walk to a park (California DOT, 1979). There are 6,957 households within the District, and an additional 1,834 households that are within a one-half mile and have direct access to the parks, but whose properties are not within the boundaries of the District. Page 184 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 38 Fiscal Year 2025/26 One-Half Mile Park Population Estimated Number of Residential Units Percentage Within District Boundaries 6,957 79.14% Outside District Boundaries 1,834 20.86% Total Population 8,791 100.00% To allocate the average of park trips generated and people using the parks within the District, we allocate the 314 estimated people using the parks daily by the percentages shown above. Based on the one-half mile radius population, approximately 66 people may use the parks within the District, but living outside of the boundaries of the District. One-Half Mile Park Population Estimated Number of People Using Parks Daily Within District Boundaries 248 Outside District Boundaries 66 Total Population 314 A factor that has been considered is that most of the people living within the one-half mile radius from the parks within the District also live within a closer distance to other parks that are not within the District, and will most likely use the parks that are closer in proximity to their property. However, in calculating the general benefit usage we recognize that those people may still use the District parks. Taking the 66 persons using the parks within the District, but residing outside of the District, divided by the total population residing outside of the District, but within one-half mile from the parks (1,834), the estimated percentage of persons engaging in general benefit park activities that do not reside within the District represents 3.60%. One-Half Mile Boundary General Benefit 3.60% Given the location and size of the parks, it is very unlikely the public at large would seek out or use these smaller, local parks. Especially, when the City has larger community and regional parks that are intended to attract people from outside areas, and provide recreational opportunities beyond those supplied by the neighborhood parks. However, various sports teams are allowed access to the parks for games even though according to the City, sports teams with members residing within the District are given first priority for use of the parks. Nevertheless, it is likely that certain members of the public at large may use the smaller parks, and as such, we have assigned a 1.00% general benefit for the park improvements to the public at large. Public at large General Benefit 1.00% Page 185 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 39 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Based on the above calculations, the general benefit portion of the improved aesthetics and economic activity benefits resulting from the park improvements is estimated to be 4.60% and the special benefit is estimated to be 95.40%. Park General Benefit 4.60% Collective General Benefit Since the District is comprised of improved aesthetics, increased safety and economic activity benefits resulting from a blend of improvements (sidewalks, trails, street landscaping and parks), the activity of both pedestrians and vehicles must be addressed in a collective form rather than independently. Therefore, the arithmetic mean of the general benefit percentages has been used to quantify the overall level of general benefit for the District. This general benefit result is provided in the table below: Sidewalk and Trail General Benefit 4.17% Street Landscaping General Benefit 17.10% Park General Benefit 4.60% District General Benefit 8.62% The general benefit, which is the percentage of the total budget that must be funded through sources other than assessments, is 8.62%. The special benefit then, which is the percentage of the budget that may be funded by assessments, is 91.38%. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act, Article XIII D of the California Constitution, and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act, all parcels that receive a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by local agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements. Section 22573 of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: Page 186 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 40 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements." The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Examples of parcels exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and right-of- ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. Furthermore, Proposition 218 requires the City to separate general benefits from special benefits, whereas only special benefits may be assessed. As further detailed in the following sections, the Method of Assessment uses the following components to assign special benefit to each parcel: • Benefit Points: Assignment of points for aesthetic, safety and economic special benefits. • Benefit Factor: Multiplier. For residential parcels the benefit factor is units, and for non- residential parcels the benefit factor is lot size (acreage). • Benefit Units: Sum of a parcel’s benefit points multiplied by the parcel’s benefit factor. The total amount is the special benefit units assigned to a parcel. Apportioning of Special Benefit As previously outlined, each of the parcels within the District receives a special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services provided is identified and the proportionate special benefits derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. Page 187 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 41 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The total costs of maintenance and operation, less the amount of general benefits identified, will be assessed to the parcels within the District based on the estimated benefit units assigned to each parcel. To assess special benefits appropriately, it is necessary to relate parcels of different land uses and development status to each other. The benefit unit method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment since there is a total of 5,890 single family parcels within the District which represents 90.96% of the total assessable parcels within the District. The following shows how each parcel’s benefit units have been determined. Aesthetic Benefit Points Aesthetic Benefit Points are assigned based upon the property’s proximity to the improvements as well as the property’s existing land use. All Single Family Residential parcels are located within the same proximity to the collective improvements (sidewalks, community trails, street landscaping and one-half mile from one of the parks). Each Single Family Residential parcel is fronted by sidewalk improvements, is within a one-half mile from one of the neighborhood parks, and uses the roads with street landscaping to enter and exit the District. In addition, the community trails are located throughout the District and serve as connectors between the different neighborhoods, school and shopping locations. All properties are within similar proximity to the trail improvements. Many trails are located along the sidewalks and streets, and all properties within the District have access to the trails through the various access points located throughout the entire District. The Single Family Residential parcels within the District are relatively similar in both building size and lot size. Since the improvements are provided uniformly throughout the District, Single Family Residential parcels are assigned 4.00 aesthetic benefit points, one for each of the improvement types. Multi-Family and Condominium parcels are within close proximity to the sidewalks, and receive the benefit of having maintained sidewalks for users to travel and access the property. Although these parcels benefit from the aesthetics of the sidewalks they do not receive the same benefit as Single Family Residential parcels, since Multi-Family and Condominium parcels do not have continuous sidewalk improvements along the frontage of each parcel/unit. Multi-Family and Condominium parcels are within a one-half mile of the neighborhood parks, use the roads with street landscaping to enter and exit their housing complexes within the District, and are in close proximity to the trail improvements. Accounting for the lower average household size of Multi- Family and Condominium parcels, and not having continuous sidewalk improvements directly fronting their property/unit, these properties have a reduced level of benefit from the improvements. Multi-Family and Condominium parcels are assigned 2.80 benefit points. Maintained sidewalks and street landscaping create an aesthetically pleasing environment for both employees and patrons of commercial properties. The overall aesthetics, interest and desirability of commercial properties within the District increase, as a result of the maintenance and servicing of the collective improvements. Based on the City’s Land Use Plan and residential designations of homes within the District, there is an average of six Single Family Residential properties per acre within the District (General Plan, 2010). However, given the nature of their property use type, Commercial properties do not receive the same level of benefit Page 188 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 42 Fiscal Year 2025/26 from the trail and park improvements in relationship to residential land uses. Commercial properties are assigned 16.00 benefit points. A handful of parcels within the District are used to provide public services (such as fire stations, schools, churches and other similar uses) to the surrounding community, and are located based upon their proximity to the parcels they serve. These parcels benefit from the collective improvements in place, but at a reduced level compared to a Single Family Residential parcel, due to the nature of the improvements and their land use. In addition, these public service parcels are in place for the surrounding community, and the existence of well-maintained parks, street landscaping and community trails is not a significant factor in the decision to locate those facilities. Given the nature of their property use types, these public service parcels are assigned a 1.00 benefit points in recognition of the limited benefit they receive from the improvements maintained by the District. Undeveloped parcels within the District receive an aesthetic benefit from the maintenance of the collective improvements, but given the very limited activity and pedestrian access that these properties provide, properties within this land use category receive a reduced level of benefit. To account for this reduced benefit, all undeveloped properties are assigned 0.40 benefit points. Common area, roads and easements are deemed to receive no benefit from the District maintenance activities because they serve as connectors for other properties and do not receive benefit from the increased aesthetics. Utility parcels are located based on their proximity to the parcels they serve, and based upon their property usage (wireless towers, flood control basins and fire trail/access roads) do not benefit from the increased aesthetics. The following shows the aesthetic benefit points assigned to the parcel land use categories within the District: Parcel Land Use Category Aesthetic Benefit Points Single Family Residential 4.00 Condominium Residential 2.80 Multi-Family Residential 2.80 Commercial/Industrial 16.00 Public Service Parcels – Church/Fire Station/School 1.00 Undeveloped 0.40 Common Area/Roads/Easements/Utility 0.00 Page 189 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 43 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Safety Benefit Points Safety Benefit Points are assigned based upon the property’s proximity to the improvements as well as the property’s existing land use. The Single Family Residential parcels within the District are relatively similar in both building size and lot size. Since the sidewalks, trails and street landscaping improvements are provided uniformly throughout the District, Single Family Residential parcels are assigned 3.00 safety benefit points, one for each of the improvement types. Based on the additional pedestrian traffic that commercial property generates compared to residential property, and that there is an average of six Single Family Residential Properties per acre within the District, Commercial parcels are assigned 18.00 benefit points. Multi-Family and Condominium parcels are within close proximity to the sidewalks, and receive the benefit of having maintained sidewalks, trails and street landscaping for users to travel and access the property. Multi-Family and Condominium parcels receive a reduced level of benefit from the safety of the sidewalks as they do not receive the same benefit as parcels that have continuous sidewalk improvements along the entire frontage of their parcel/unit. In addition, Multi-Family and Condominium parcels have a lower average household size, which results in a reduced volume of pedestrian traffic on the sidewalks and trails compared to a Single Family Residential parcel. Multi-Family and Condominium parcels are assigned 2.10 benefit points. A handful of parcels within the District are used to provide public services (such as fire stations, schools, churches and other similar uses) to the surrounding community, and are located based upon their proximity to the parcels they serve. However, based on the nature and location of the sidewalk and street landscaping improvements and public access to these properties, these parcels receive a safety benefit from the maintenance of the improvements. These public service parcels are assigned 2.00 benefit points in recognition of the benefit they receive. Well maintained green areas reduce the occurrence of crime and vandalism, and as such the maintenance of the improvements within the District create a safety benefit for the undeveloped parcels within the District. However, the safety benefit is reduced compared to a Single Family Residential parcels due to the very limited activity and pedestrian access that these properties provide. Undeveloped properties are assigned 0.30 benefit points. Common area, roads and easements are deemed to receive no benefit from the District maintenance activities because they serve as connectors for other properties and do not receive benefit from the increased aesthetics. Utility parcels are located based on their proximity to the parcels they serve, and given the nature of the property usage ((wireless towers, flood control basins and fire trail/access roads) do not benefit from the increased safety. The following shows the safety benefit points assigned to the parcel land use categories within the District: Page 190 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 44 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Parcel Land Use Category Safety Benefit Points Single Family Residential 3.00 Condominium Residential 2.10 Multi-Family Residential 2.10 Commercial/Industrial 18.00 Public Service Parcels – Church/Fire Station/School 2.00 Undeveloped 0.30 Common Area/Roads/Easements/Utility 0.00 Economic Benefit Points Accounting for the existing economic activity throughout the District, as well as the potential for properties to develop, redevelop and invest in their economic presence, properties within the District are assigned benefit points for the economic activity benefits received from the uniform and maintained improvements. Economic activity benefit points are assigned based upon the property’s location to the District activities, as well as the property’s existing land use. The District’s improvements will allow properties to maximize their development, land use and occupancy rates. Residential land uses are assigned benefit points in proportion to the number of trips generated and average number of occupants per dwelling unit in comparison to the typical single-family parcel. Single Family Residential parcels are assigned 4.00 benefit points, one for each of the improvement types. Studies have consistently shown that the average multi-family residential unit impacts infrastructure approximately 80% as much as a single-family residence. Condominium parcels are assigned 3.20 benefit points since the number of trips generated per condominium unit is approximately 80% of the typical single-family residential units (Trip Generation, 2003). Multi-family residential parcels are assigned 2.40 benefit points per dwelling unit since the number of trips generated per multi-family residential unit, per the City’s Traffic Study (2009), are 60% of the typical single-family residential unit. To recognize the increase in economic activity and additional pedestrian traffic that non- residential properties generate compared to residential property, non-residential Commercial properties are assigned benefit points based on the average trip generations of non-residential property compared to a Single Family Residential property. Based on the City’s Traffic Study (2009), and given that the non-residential parcels within the District are of mixed uses, the trip generation rate for non-residential parcels averages just under 320 trips per acre, which is approximately 5.6 times per acre that of a single family residential development. The trip generation rate is reduced to account for pass-through trips which are estimated to be 20%. Therefore, the economic benefit points assigned Commercial parcels is 4.50 per one residential benefit point. Commercial properties are assigned a total of 18.00 economic benefit points. The public services parcels and utility parcels within the District are used to provide services to the surrounding community, and are located based upon their proximity to the parcels they serve. These parcels receive no economic benefit from the collective improvements in place. Therefore, they are not assigned benefit points for economic activities. Page 191 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 45 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The availability of well-maintained sidewalk, landscaping and park improvements within the local community enhances the ability of owners of undeveloped parcels of land to develop those parcels, as studies have shown that there is an increase in demand for residents and businesses to locate within communities with well-maintained sidewalk, landscaping and park improvements. However, since undeveloped parcels generate fewer trips and given the limited activity these properties provide, they receive a reduced economic benefit from the maintenance of the collective improvements. To account for this reduced benefit, but still recognize development potential, all undeveloped properties are assigned 1.50 benefit points. Common areas and roads are deemed to receive no benefit from the District maintenance activities because they serve as connectors for other properties and do not receive an economic benefit. The following shows the economic benefit points assigned to the parcel land use categories within the District: Parcel Land Use Category Economic Benefit Points Single Family Residential 4.00 Condominium Residential 3.20 Multi-Family Residential 2.80 Commercial/Industrial 18.00 Public Service Parcels – Church/Fire Station/School 0.00 Undeveloped 1.50 Common Area/Roads/Utility 0.00 Total Special Benefit Points Calculation The formula below shows the total special benefit points calculation for each parcel within the District: Parcel’s Total Special Benefit Points = Parcel’s Aesthetic Benefit Points + Parcel’s Safety Benefit Points + Parcel’s Economic Benefit Points Parcel Factors The method of apportioning the benefit to the parcels within the District reflects the proportional special benefit assigned to each property within the District based upon various property characteristics of parcels as compared to other properties within the District. By adjusting the assigned special benefit points set forth above by parcel factors, a more complete picture of the proportional special benefits received by each parcel within the District is presented. Given that the special benefits provided by the District focus on aesthetic benefit, safety benefit, and economic activity benefits, it was determined that lot size (acreage) for non-residential parcels and units for residential parcels were the most appropriate parcel factors. The number of units for non-residential parcels would not accurately reflect the amount of development and Page 192 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 46 Fiscal Year 2025/26 redevelopment that may occur. In addition, a larger parcel allows for a greater area to develop and redevelop than smaller parcels, which corresponds to larger parcels receiving proportionately greater aesthetic, safety and economic activity benefits when compared to smaller parcels within the District. Therefore, the benefits assigned for each parcel in the District is in direct proportion to the size of the parcel and potential development of the parcel. Residential parcels are limited by the number of units on the parcel more than the actual lot size. However, the greater the lot size, the more units can be placed on a parcel, and the more persons who use and benefits from the collective improvements. Therefore, the benefits assigned for each parcel in the District is in direct proportion to the units assigned to that parcel. The formula below shows the parcel factor calculation for each parcel within the District: Residential Parcel Factor = Units Non-Residential Parcel Factor = Acreage Total Benefit Units per Parcel Calculation To appropriately quantify and assign the total benefit units for each parcel within the District, the total special benefit points are further adjusted according to the formula below: Parcel’s Total Benefit Units = Parcel’s Total Special Benefit Points X Parcel Factor Total Special Benefit Units The total special benefit units for the District at this time are 81,554.33 Data Considerations and Parcel Changes The use of the latest Assessor’s Secured Roll information has been and shall be used in the future as the basis in determining each parcel’s land use category, units and lot size (acreage), unless better data was or is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number, the land use category, units and lot size (acreage) of the subsequent valid parcels shall serve as the basis in assigning parcel factor special benefit units. If a single parcel changes to multiple parcels, the special benefit units shall be recalculated based on the property type, number of units and acreage data for the new parcels, rather than each new parcel receiving a proportionate share of the original assessment. Special Considerations: Publicly Owned Parcels Any publicly owned parcels that benefit from the improvements cannot be exempt from the assessment. The special benefits accruing to these types of parcels must be determined using the same kind of formulas and benefit point assignment as applied to privately owned parcels. This requirement is clearly conveyed in Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution which states in part, “... Parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can Page 193 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 47 Fiscal Year 2025/26 demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit.” Publicly owned parcels are categorized and assigned benefit units using the same methodology as privately owned parcels, based on their land use as shown on the latest County Secured Roll. Rate per Benefit Unit The assessment rate per special benefit unit is calculated by dividing the total cost estimate to be assessed by the total special benefit units assigned to the parcels in the District. The following formula provides the assessment rate per special benefit unit calculation: Rate per Benefit Unit = Total Costs to be Assessed / District’s Total Benefit Units Method of Assessment Spread The method of assessment is based upon a formula that assigns the special benefits to each parcel, with special benefit points being adjusted by the parcel’s number of units or lot size (acreage). The formula below provides a summary of the annual assessment calculation for each parcel in the District. (A) Parcel’s Total Benefit Units = (B) Parcel’s Total Special Benefit Points X (C) Parcel Factor (B) Parcel’s Total Special Benefit Points = Parcel’s Aesthetic Benefit Points + Parcel’s Safety Benefit Points + Parcel’s Economic Benefit Points (C) Parcel Factor Residential Parcel Factor = Units Non-Residential Parcel Factor = Acreage Applying the Method of Assessment Spread The maximum assessment for each parcel in the District is calculated by the following procedure: Step 1: Assign each parcel its appropriate land use category based on the most recent San Bernardino County Assessor’s Secured Roll data. Page 194 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 48 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Step 2: Determine each parcel’s appropriate aesthetic benefit points based on land use. The aesthetic benefit points are shown in the following table: Parcel Land Use Category Aesthetic Benefit Points Single Family Residential 4.00 Condominium Residential 2.80 Multi-Family Residential 2.80 Commercial/Industrial 16.00 Public Service Parcels – Church/Fire Station/School 1.00 Undeveloped 0.40 Common Area/Roads/Easements/Utility 0.00 Step 3: Determine each parcel’s appropriate safety benefit points based on land use. The safety benefit points are shown in the following table: Parcel Land Use Category Safety Benefit Points Single Family Residential 3.00 Condominium Residential 2.10 Multi-Family Residential 2.10 Commercial/Industrial 18.00 Public Service Parcels – Church/Fire Station/School 2.00 Undeveloped 0.30 Common Area/Roads/Easements/Utility 0.00 Step 4: Determine each parcel’s appropriate economic benefit points based on land use. The economic benefit points are shown in the following table: Parcel Land Use Category Economic Benefit Points Single Family Residential 4.00 Condominium Residential 3.20 Multi-Family Residential 2.80 Commercial/Industrial 18.00 Public Service Parcels – Church/Fire Station/School 0.00 Undeveloped 1.50 Common Area/Roads/Utility 0.00 Page 195 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 49 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Step 5: Sum the aesthetic benefit points, safety benefit points and economic benefit points for each parcel. The total benefit points are shown in the following table: Parcel Land Use Category Aesthetic Benefit Points Safety Benefit Points Economic Benefit Points Total Benefit Points Single Family Residential 4.00 3.00 4.00 11.00 Condominium Residential 2.80 2.10 3.20 8.10 Multi-Family Residential 2.80 2.10 2.80 7.70 Commercial/Industrial 16.00 18.00 18.00 52.00 Public Service Parcels – Church/ Fire Station/ School 1.00 2.00 0.00 3.00 Undeveloped 0.40 0.30 1.50 2.20 Common Area/ Roads/ Easements/ Utility 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Step 6: Determine the appropriate parcel factor based on the parcel’s land use. The unit of measurement for each parcel factor, by land use, is shown in the following table: Residential Parcel Factor = Units Non-Residential Parcel Factor = Acreage Step 7: Multiply the total benefit points by parcel factor to compute each parcel’s total special benefit units. Step 8: Sum the result of Step 7 for all parcels in the District. Step 9: Separate the general benefit from the special benefit, and divide the portion of the budget representing special benefit by the result of Step 8 to compute the rate per benefit unit. Step 10: Multiply each parcel’s total benefit units by the result of Step 9 to compute each parcel’s assessment. Step 11: In future years the rate per benefit unit may be adjusted by inflation. Page 196 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 50 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Proposed Maximum Assessment Rates The Fiscal Year 2025/26 maximum allowable assessment rate is calculated by dividing the net total to be assessed by the total special benefit units assigned to parcels in the District based on property type, unit and acreage data. For Fiscal Year 2025/26, the calculation is as follows: Maximum Assessment per Benefit Unit =Special Benefit to be Assessed /District’s Total Benefit Units $55.82 = $ 4,550,862.81 /81,554.11 Parcel Land Use Category Total Benefit Points Parcel Factor Maximum Allowable Assessment for 2025/26 Single Family Residential 11.00 Parcel 613.93$ Condominium Residential 8.10 Unit 451.81 Multi-Family Residential 7.70 Unit 429.22 Commercial/Industrial 52.00 Acre 2,902.23 Public Service Parcels - Church/ Fire Station/ School 3.00 Acre 167.43 Undeveloped 2.20 Acre 122.25 Common Area/ Roads / Easements/ Utility 0.00 Parcel - Cost of Living Inflator Each fiscal year, beginning Fiscal Year 2014/15, the maximum allowable assessment amount may be increased by the lesser of 3% or the percentage change in the year ending February preceding the start of the Fiscal Year of the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U), for the Riverside – San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index area. If for any reason the percentage change is negative, the maximum allowable assessment would not be decreased by reason of such negative percentage change and would remain at the amount as computed on the previous fiscal year regardless of any CPI-U adjustment. If operating costs are such that the maximum assessment amount is not needed, the City would levy only what is needed for that fiscal year. The actual assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2025/26 will increase from $572.06 to $589.22 per single-family residence, a CPI increase of 3.0% as compared to Fiscal Year 2024/25.

I have identified all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them from the improvement described in the Special Benefit Section of this Annual Engineer’s Report (the “Specially Benefited Parcels”). For particulars as to the identification of said parcels, reference is made to the Assessment Diagram, a copy of which is included in this Annual Engineer’s Report. 2. I have evaluated the costs and expenses of the improvements upon the Specially Benefited Parcels. In making such evaluation: a. The proportionate special benefit derived by each Specially Benefited Parcel from the improvements was determined in relationship to the entirety of the maintenance costs of the improvements; b. No assessment has been imposed on any Specially Benefited Parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on such parcel from the improvements; and c. Any general benefits from the improvements have been separated from the special benefits and only special benefits have been assessed. I, the undersigned, respectfully submit the enclosed Annual Engineer’s Report and, to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, I certify that the Annual Engineer’s Report and Assessment Diagram included herein have been prepared and computed in accordance with the order of the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Assessment Law. Jason C. Welday Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Date Page 205 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 3B – City of Rancho Cucamonga 3 Fiscal Year 2025/26 INTRODUCTION Reason for Assessment Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to: Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement or facility such as paseos, community trails, fencing and irrigation systems, and providing for the growth, vigor and care of the trees and landscape plant materials. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting of landscape or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Process for Annual Assessment The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally, describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. During the course or upon Page 206 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 3B – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the boundaries of the District. Description of the Boundaries of the District The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of the District are generally described as the commercial and industrial area of the City which is generally bounded by Foothill Blvd on the north, 4th St on the South, East Ave on the east and Grove Ave on the west. Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report. Description of Improvements and Services These improvements are located within the street right-of-ways, Metrolink, and dedicated public easements which are within the boundaries of the District. The landscaping maintenance includes, but is not limited to, the pruning, fertilizing, mowing, weeding, pest control, removal of trash/debris, and irrigation of the trees, shrubs, vines, ground cover, and turf. Maintenance of associated improvements and facilities, such as community trails, fencing and irrigation systems, includes but is not limited to, grading and replacement of trail surfacing, trail fence repair and replacement, steel fence painting, repair and replacement, and irrigation systems control, adjustment, trouble-shooting, repair and replacement. Services include personnel, materials, contracting services, utilities, capital projects and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and repair required to keep the improvements in a healthy, vigorous and satisfactory condition. In addition, it is the City's intention to continue to use cost effective Page 207 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 3B – City of Rancho Cucamonga 5 Fiscal Year 2025/26 materials, including the future ability to replace landscaping with drought resistant or low water use plants, in order to lower expenses of the District.

Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the estimated costs of maintenance, available fund balance and maximum allowable assessment with the goal of maintaining the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance with Proposition 218. It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the District is as follows: Operating Reserve Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2025 2,430,246$ Contribution to/(Use of) Reserve - Fiscal Year 2025/26 (64,260) Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2026 2,365,986$ Page 214 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 3B – City of Rancho Cucamonga 12 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Definitions of Budget Items The following definitions describe the costs and expenses included in the District Budget: Personnel Services: This item includes the costs attributed to the salaries of all full-time and part-time employees dedicated to maintenance of the District improvements.

Page 215 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 3B – City of Rancho Cucamonga 13 Fiscal Year 2025/26 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIIID also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. Page 216 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 3B – City of Rancho Cucamonga 14 Fiscal Year 2025/26 General Benefit Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next "separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred," and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed. In this District, the improvements being financed consists of the maintenance of local improvements located within the boundaries of the District and include paseos, street trees, landscaped areas and appurtenant facilities that are located throughout the District and were installed to create a common landscape theme and neighborhood identity for parcels within the District. The improvements are situated within the public rights-of-way of the internal local street network within the District which provides ingress and egress for parcels within the District to access the City’s system of arterial streets. Traffic from parcels not within the District do not use the internal local street network or paseos except for the express purpose of accessing properties located within the District, and therefore do not benefit from the improvements. Only parcels which are within the District and proximate to the improvements and within the District are being assessed. Accordingly, there is a direct physical and visual nexus between each parcel being assessed and the improvements to be funded by the assessment that does not exist for parcels outside of the District boundary and that is particular and distinct from that shared by the public at large. Under these circumstances, all of the benefits conferred are direct and local in nature, and provide a benefit to only those parcels located within the boundaries of the District. Based upon this, it has been determined that there is no quantifiable general benefit to the surrounding community and the public in general from the maintenance of the improvements within the boundaries of the District, and therefore no portion of the project costs should be attributed to general benefit. Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District and, as such, confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing beautification, shade and overall enhancement to properties within the District. The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not Page 217 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 3B – City of Rancho Cucamonga 15 Fiscal Year 2025/26 share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements, including the community trails, were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District, only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements is identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the method of assessment became more refined, however, the assessment per parcel has remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined are now being levied differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one EBU. Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier Non-Residential 1.00 Acre The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU Page 218 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 3B – City of Rancho Cucamonga 16 Fiscal Year 2025/26 assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment. The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2025/26 maximum allowable assessment rates for the District: Property Type (County Use Code) Maximum Allowable Assessment Rate per EBU Actual Asessment Rate per EBU Total Units/Acres Total EBUs Non-Residential $352.80 $282.24 2,988.52 2,988.52 The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the landscaping and community trail improvements is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report. ASSESSMENT DIAGRAM An Assessment Diagram for the District is shown on the following page.

Jason C. Welday Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Date Page 226 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 4-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 3 Fiscal Year 2025/26 INTRODUCTION Reason for Assessment Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to: Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement or facility such as paseos, community trails, fencing and irrigation systems, and providing for the growth, vigor and care of the trees and landscape plant materials. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting of landscape or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Process for Annual Assessment The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally, describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. During the course or upon Page 227 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 4-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.

Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the estimated costs of maintenance, available fund balance and maximum allowable assessment with the goal of maintaining the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance with Proposition 218. It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the District is as follows: Operating Reserve Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2025 6,590,141$ Contribution to/(Use of) Reserve - Fiscal Year 2025/26 (892,502) Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2026 5,697,639$ Page 240 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 4-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 17 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Definitions of Budget Items The following definitions describe the costs and expenses included in the District Budget: Personnel Services: This item includes the costs attributed to the salaries of all full-time and part-time employees dedicated to maintenance of the District improvements.

Page 241 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 4-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 18 Fiscal Year 2025/26 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement." Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. Page 242 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 4-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 19 Fiscal Year 2025/26 General Benefit Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next "separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred," and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed. In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are incidental general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which include: • the control of dust and insect infestations, and • the visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel through the District. However, it has been determined that these benefits are incidental and do not provide a direct benefit to parcels outside of the District that are not being assessed. Any incidental benefit received by parcels outside of the District is further offset by the incidental benefit received by parcels within the District from the maintenance of landscaping improvements by the other assessment districts within the City. Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District and, as such, confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing beautification, shade and overall enhancement to properties within the District. The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements, including the community trails, were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District, only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. Page 243 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 4-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 20 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements is identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the method of assessment became more refined. On December 2, 2009, Proposition 218 assessment ballot increase was approved by the property owners in this District. Therefore, all parcels included in the District boundary, are being levied in accordance with Article XIII D and Proposition 218. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment since there is a total of 2,651 single family parcels within the District which represents 69.1 percent of the total assessable parcels within the District. A method has been developed to convert other land uses to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property’s specific development status, type of development (land- use), and size of the property, as compared to a single family residential parcel. Other residential land uses are assigned Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU) in proportion to the number of trips generated and average number of occupants per dwelling unit in comparison to the typical single- family parcel. Based upon the trip generation data from the ITE Trip Generation Report, San Diego Association of Governments’ Guide to Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates which have been adopted by San Bernardino County Transpiration Authority (formerly known as San Bernardino Associated Governments) and the most recent census data for the City of Rancho Cucamonga, condominiums are assigned 0.80 EDU’s since the number of residents and number of trips generated per dwelling unit are 80 percent of the typical single family residence. Multi-family residential units are assigned 0.70 EDU’s per dwelling unit since the number of residents and number of trips generated per multifamily residential unit are 70 percent of the typical single-family residential unit. This reduction is further supported by virtue of the fact that both condominium developments and multi-family residential development have a higher level of landscaping that reduce the benefit received by these parcels from District maintained landscaping. EBU’s are assigned to Commercial and Industrial parcels based upon the number of trips generated as well. The ITE Trip Generation Report shows that non-residential uses similar to those found in the District generate from 30 to 400 plus trips per day based upon the specific land use. An average trip generation rate of 135 trips per day was used since the non-residential uses within the district are generally those that result in fewer trips per day per acre, when compared Page 244 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 4-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 21 Fiscal Year 2025/26 to more intense non-residential uses such as community shopping centers which can generate in excess of 500 trips per day. Based upon an average density of approximately 9 single family residential units per acre and a trip generation rate of 10 trips per day for a typical single family residential unit, the trip generation rate for commercial and industrial parcels is approximately 1.5 times that of an acre developed for single family residential use based upon an average of 135 trips per acre for non-residential uses. The trips generated by non-residential uses has been reduced by approximately 40 percent to account for the number of “pass-by” trips which are those trips which stop at non-residential parcels enroute to/from residential parcels. This reduces the trips generated per acre from 135 to 81. Since non-residential parcels do not receive a significant special benefit from the park facilities maintained by the District, the number of trips generated per acre has been further reduced in proportion to the ratio of expenditures for landscape maintenance versus park maintenance within the District, which has been estimated by the City to be 60% parks and 40% landscaping. Therefore, commercial and industrial parcels have been assigned a value of 3.25 EBU’s per acre to represent the special benefit received by those parcels relative to the typical single-family residential parcel. Vacant parcels are assigned an EBU value of 0.25 per acre because they receive a lesser benefit from the improvements until such time as development occurs. Publicly owned school parcels are also assigned an EBU value of 0.25 per acre in recognition of the limited benefit they receive from the improvements maintained by the District and the benefit conferred upon other parcels within the District by the open space and landscaping maintained by the School District on their parcels which might be used by properties within the District under joint use agreements between the School District and the City. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel’s EBU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Benefit Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel Condominium 0.80 Unit Multi-Family Residential 0.70 Unit Commercial/Industrial 3.25 Acre Vacant (incl. all undevelped property)0.25 Acre Schools 0.25 Acre The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be Page 245 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 4-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 22 Fiscal Year 2025/26 based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment. The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2025/26 maximum allowable assessment rates for the District: Property Type (County Use Code) Maximum Allowable Assessment Rate per EBU Actual Asessment Rate per EBU Total Units/Acres Total EBUs Single Family Residential $547.29 $451.00 2,652.00 2,652.00 Condominium 547.29 451.00 1,249.00 999.20 Multi-Family Residential 547.29 451.00 4,001.00 2,800.70 Commercial/Industrial 547.29 451.00 176.40 573.30 Vacant (incl. all undevelped property)547.29 451.00 64.85 16.21 Schools 547.29 451.00 35.41 8.85 The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the landscaping and community trail improvements is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report. Cost of Living Inflator Each fiscal year beginning Fiscal Year 2010/11, the maximum allowable assessment amount may be increased by the lesser of 3.5% or the percentage change in the year ending February preceding the start of the Fiscal Year of the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U), for the Riverside – San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index area. If for any reason the percentage change is negative the maximum allowable assessment would not be decreased by reason of such negative percentage change and would remain at the amount as computed on the previous fiscal year regardless of any CPI adjustment. The annual assessment cannot exceed the actual costs to operate the District in any given year. If operating costs are such that the maximum assessment amount is not needed, the City would levy only what is needed for that year. The actual assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2025/26 will increase from $437.86 to $451.00 per single-family residence, a CPI increase of 3.0% as compared to Fiscal Year 2024/25.

Welday Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Date Page 254 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 6-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 3 Fiscal Year 2025/26 INTRODUCTION Reason for Assessment Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to: Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement or facility such as paseos, community trails, fencing and irrigation systems, and providing for the growth, vigor and care of the trees and landscape plant materials. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting of landscape or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Process for Annual Assessment The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. During the course or upon Page 255 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 6-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing, must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.

Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the estimated costs of maintenance, available fund balance and maximum allowable assessment with the goal of maintaining the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance with Proposition 218. It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the District is as follows: Operating Reserve Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2025 780,685$ Contribution to/(Use of) Reserve - Fiscal Year 2025/26 778 Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2026 781,463$ Page 264 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 6-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 13 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Definitions of Budget Items The following definitions describe the costs and expenses included in the District Budget: Personnel Services: This item includes the costs attributed to the salaries of all full-time and part-time employees dedicated to maintenance of the District improvements.

Page 265 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 6-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 14 Fiscal Year 2025/26 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. Page 266 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 6-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 15 Fiscal Year 2025/26 General Benefit Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next "separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred," and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed. In this District, the improvements being financed consists of the maintenance of local improvements located within the boundaries of the District and include paseos, street trees, landscaped areas and appurtenant facilities that are located throughout the District and were installed to create a common landscape theme and neighborhood identity for parcels within the District. The improvements are situated within the public rights-of-way of the internal local street network within the District which provides ingress and egress for parcels within the District to access the City's system of arterial streets. City residents and traffic from parcels not within the District do not use the internal local street network or paseos except for the express purpose of accessing properties located within the District, and therefore do not benefit from the improvements. Only parcels which are within the District and proximate to the improvements and within the District are being assessed. Accordingly, there is a direct physical and visual nexus between each parcel being assessed and the improvements to be funded by the assessment that does not exist for parcels outside of the District boundary and that is particular and distinct from that shared by the public at large. Under these circumstances, all of the benefits conferred are direct and local in nature, and provide a benefit to only those parcels located within the boundaries of the District. Based upon this, it has been determined that there is no quantifiable general benefit to the surrounding community and the public in general from the maintenance of the improvements within the boundaries of the District, and therefore no portion of the project costs should be attributed to general benefit. Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District and, as such, confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing beautification, shade and overall enhancement to properties within the District. Page 267 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 6-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 16 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements, including the community trails, were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District, only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements is identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one EBU. Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. Vacant parcels are assigned an EBU value of 0.25 EBU's per acre because they receive a lesser benefit from the improvements until such time as development occurs. Publicly owned school parcels are also assigned an EBU value of 0.25 EBU's per acre in recognition of the limited benefit they receive from the improvements which are provided for the use and benefit of the residential units within the District, and the benefit conferred upon other parcels within the District by the open space and landscaping maintained by the School District on their parcels which might be used by properties within the District under joint use agreements between the School District and the City. There are two benefit zones within the District: Zone 1 and Zone 2. Parcels in Zone 2 are assigned 0.75 EBU per dwelling unit due to the reduction in special benefit they receive as a result of their location relative to the majority of the improvements maintained by the District. Zone 2 parcels are on the far east and west side of the District. Therefore, parcels within Zone 2 do not receive the same special benefit from the improvements due to their proximity, as parcels within Zone 1 which are assigned 1.00 EBU per dwelling unit and are generally located adjacent to or in close proximity to the improvements. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Page 268 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 6-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 17 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value M ultiplier Single Family Residential - Zone 1 1.00 Parcel Single Family Residential - Zone 2 0.75 Parcel School 0.25 Acre Undeveloped 0.25 Acre The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment. The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2025/26 maximum allowable assessment rates for the District: Property Type (County Use Code) Maximum Allowable Assessment Rate per EBU Actual Asessment Rate per EBU Total Units/Acres Total EBUs Single Family Residential - Zone 1 $519.13 $519.13 966.00 966.00 Single Family Residential - Zone 2 $519.13 $519.13 310.00 232.50 School $519.13 $519.13 5.35 1.34 Undeveloped $519.13 $519.13 0.00 0.00 The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the landscaping and community trail improvements is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report. Cost of Living Inflator Each fiscal year beginning Fiscal Year 2011/12, the maximum allowable assessment amount may be increased by the lesser of 3.0% or the percentage change in the year ending February preceding the start of the Fiscal Year of the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U), for the Riverside – San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index area. If for any reason the percentage change is negative the maximum allowable assessment would not be decreased by reason of such negative percentage change and would remain at the amount as computed on the previous fiscal year regardless of any CPI adjustment. The annual assessment cannot exceed the actual costs to operate the District in any given year. If operating costs are Page 269 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 6-R – City of Rancho Cucamonga 18 Fiscal Year 2025/26 such that the maximum assessment amount is not needed, the City would levy only what is needed for that year. The actual assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2025/26 will increase from $504.32 to $519.13 per single-family residence zone 1 and from $378.24 to $389.35 per single-family residence zone 2, a CPI increase of 2.94% as compared to Fiscal Year 2024/25.

Jason C. Welday Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Date Page 277 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 7 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 3 Fiscal Year 2025/26 INTRODUCTION Reason for Assessment Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to: Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include, but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement or facility such as paseos, community trails, fencing and irrigation systems, and providing for the growth, vigor and care of the trees and landscape plant materials. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting of landscape or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Process for Annual Assessment The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public Page 278 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 7 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.

Page 290 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 7 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 16 Fiscal Year 2025/26 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. Page 291 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 7 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 17 Fiscal Year 2025/26 General Benefit Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next "separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred," and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed. In this District, the improvements being financed consists of the maintenance of local improvements located within the boundaries of the District and include paseos, street trees, landscaped areas and appurtenant facilities that are located throughout the District and were installed to create a common landscape theme and neighborhood identity for parcels within the District. The improvements are situated within the public rights-of-way of the internal local street network within the District which provides ingress and egress for parcels within the District to access the City’s system of arterial streets. City residents and traffic from parcels not within the District do not use the internal local street network or paseos except for the express purpose of accessing properties located within the District, and therefore do not benefit from the improvements. Only parcels which are within the District and proximate to the improvements and within the District are being assessed. Accordingly, there is a direct physical and visual nexus between each parcel being assessed and the improvements to be funded by the assessment that does not exist for parcels outside of the District boundary and that is particular and distinct from that shared by the public at large. Under these circumstances, all of the benefits conferred are direct and local in nature, and provide a benefit to only those parcels located within the boundaries of the District. Based upon this, it has been determined that there is no quantifiable general benefit to the surrounding community and the public in general from the maintenance of the improvements within the boundaries of the District, and therefore no portion of the project costs should be attributed to general benefit. Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District and, as such, confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing beautification, shade and overall enhancement to properties within the District. Page 292 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 7 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 18 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements, including the community trails, were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District, only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements is identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. When the District was formed, Article XIID and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon the passage of Article XIID and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the method of assessment became more refined, however, the assessment per parcel has remained the same since 1996/97 Fiscal Year. Further, no parcel included in the District formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined are now being levied differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one EBU. The following table provides the weighting factors to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value M ultiplier Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU Page 293 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 7 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 19 Fiscal Year 2025/26 assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment. The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2025/26 maximum allowable assessment rates for the District: Property Type (County Use Code) Maximum Allowable Assessment Rate per EBU Actual Asessment Rate per EBU Total Units/Acres Total EBUs Single Family Residential $307.05 $307.05 3,124.00 3,124.00 The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the landscaping and community trail improvements is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to the special benefit received by such parcels of real property.

Jason C. Welday Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Date Page 301 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 8 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 3 Fiscal Year 2025/26 INTRODUCTION Reason for Assessment Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to: Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement or facility such as paseos, community trails, fencing and irrigation systems, and providing for the growth, vigor and care of the trees and landscape plant materials. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting of landscape or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Process for Annual Assessment The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. During the course or upon Page 302 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 8 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the boundaries of the District.

Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the estimated costs of maintenance, available fund balance and maximum allowable assessment with the goal of maintaining the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance with Proposition 218. It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the District is as follows: Operating Reserve Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2025 42,682$ Contribution to/(Use of) Reserve - Fiscal Year 2025/26 (51,140) Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2026 (8,458)$ Page 307 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 8 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 9 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Definitions of Budget Items The following definitions describe the costs and expenses included in the District Budget: Personnel Services: This item includes the costs attributed to the salaries of all full-time and part-time employees dedicated to maintenance of the District improvements. Additionally, this includes benefits available to City employees.

Page 308 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 8 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 10 Fiscal Year 2025/26 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. Page 309 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 8 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 11 Fiscal Year 2025/26 General Benefit Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next "separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred," and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed. In this District, the improvements being financed consists of the maintenance of local improvements located within the boundaries of the District and include paseos, street trees, landscaped areas and appurtenant facilities that are located throughout the District and were installed to create a common landscape theme and neighborhood identity for parcels within the District. The improvements are situated within the public rights-of-way of the internal local street network within the District which provides ingress and egress for parcels within the District to access the City’s system of arterial streets. City residents and traffic from parcels not within the District do not use the internal local street network or paseos except for the express purpose of accessing properties located within the District, and therefore do not benefit from the improvements. Only parcels which are within the District and proximate to the improvements and within the District are being assessed. Accordingly, there is a direct physical and visual nexus between each parcel being assessed and the improvements to be funded by the assessment that does not exist for parcels outside of the District boundary and that is particular and distinct from that shared by the public at large. Under these circumstances, all of the benefits conferred are direct and local in nature, and provide a benefit to only those parcels located within the boundaries of the District. Based upon this, it has been determined that there is no quantifiable general benefit to the surrounding community and the public in general from the maintenance of the improvements within the boundaries of the District, and therefore no portion of the project costs should be attributed to general benefit. Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District and, as such, confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing beautification, shade and overall enhancement to properties within the District. Page 310 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 8 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 12 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements, including the community trails, were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District, only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements is identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one EBU. Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel Non-Residential 2.00 Acre The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.

Jason C. Welday Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Date Page 319 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 9 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 3 Fiscal Year 2025/26 INTRODUCTION Reason for Assessment Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to: Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement or facility such as paseos, community trails, fencing and irrigation systems, and providing for the growth, vigor and care of the trees and landscape plant materials. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting of landscape or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Process for Annual Assessment The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public Page 320 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 9 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the boundaries of the District.

Each year, as part of the District levy calculation process, the costs and expenses are reviewed and the annual costs are projected for the following fiscal year. District Budget Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget Expenditures Personnel Services: Regular Salaries 290,690$ Fringe Benefits 145,350 Subtotal - Personnel 436,040 Operations and Maintenance: Operations and Maintenance: O & M/General 17,800 Building and Equipment Rental 1,000 Subtotal - Operations and Maintenance 18,800 Contract Services: Contract Services General 2,610 Contract Services Parks and Landscaping 139,600 Tree Maintenance 64,500 Subtotal - Contract Services 206,710 Utilities: Water Utilities 78,810 Electric Utilities 4,224 Subtotal - Utilities 83,034 Assessment Administration 5,240 Admin./General Overhead 98,720 Subtotal - Operations and Maintenance 412,504 Capital Expenditures: Captial Outlay Improvements 1,440,000 Subtotal - Capital Expenditures 1,440,000 Total Expenditures Budget 2,288,544$ Page 326 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 9 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 10 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget Revenues Taxes: Estimated Assessments, Net of Estimated Delinquencies 802,420$ Anticipated Prior Year Delinquencies Collection 1,380 Subtotal - Taxes 803,800 Other Revenues: Rental Revenue 110 Park Maintenance Fees 2,950 Subtotal - Other Revenues:3,060 Total Revenues Budget 806,860 Contribution to/(Use of) Fund Balance (1,481,684)$ Total Gross Estimated Assessments 802,073.85$ Total District EBU Count 2,497.56 Actual Assessment per EBU - Fiscal Year 2025/26 321.28$ Maximum Allowable Assessment per EBU - Fiscal Year 2025/26 742.25$ Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) will be based on the estimated costs of maintenance, available fund balance and maximum allowable assessment with the goal of maintaining the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance with Proposition 218. It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the District is as follows: Operating Reserve Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2025 1,461,902$ Contribution to/(Use of) Reserve - Fiscal Year 2025/26 (1,481,684) Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2026 (19,782)$ Page 327 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 9 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 11 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The City has reserve funds that are more than sufficient to cover an estimated six months’ worth of maintenance and servicing costs for the District. When there are excess funds in the District’s reserve account, the excess can be used to lower the annual levy to property owners within the District. The City will continue to annually review the estimated costs and expenses for the District as well as reserve fund levels, in order to determine if future levies can be reduced as well. Definitions of Budget Items The following definitions describe the costs and expenses included in the District Budget: Personnel Services: This item includes the costs attributed to the salaries of all full-time and part-time employees dedicated to maintenance of the District improvements. Additionally, this includes benefits available to City employees. Operations and Maintenance: This item includes the costs of City staff to perform maintenance duties within the boundaries of the District. Contract Services: This item includes the contract costs of a landscape maintenance company responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the District improvements. Utilities: This item includes the costs to furnish electricity, water, and telephone services, as required, for the operation and maintenance of the sprinklers and irrigation controllers in the District. Assessment Administration: This item includes the cost of all particular departments and staff of the City, as well as consultants, for providing the administration, coordination and management of District services, operations, and incidental expenses related to the District. This item also includes creation of an annual Engineer's Report, resolutions and placing the assessment amounts onto the County tax roll each year, along with responding to any public inquiries and future Proposition 218 balloting proceedings. General Overhead: This item includes the costs of all central services departments of the City for providing the coordination of District services, inspections, annual bid management, responding to public concerns, public education, accounting, auditing and procedural matters associated with the District. This item also includes an allocation for general City staff time for administrative functions and systems that provide for a functional and operational District within the City's administrative structure. Capital Outlay: This item includes new improvements to further enhance the level and quality of service provided within the boundaries of the District. This may include new monuments, irrigation systems, and other large improvements. Page 328 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 9 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 12 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Other Revenues: This includes other revenues that are not levied through the annual assessments that support the District operations. These other revenues may include: interest earnings, other rental/lease income (cell site tower leases), Park Maintenance Fees, Sports Field User Group Rentals, and parking permits (Metrolink Station paid parking). METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D. all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. Page 329 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 9 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 13 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. General Benefit Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next "separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred," and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed. In this District, the improvements being financed consists of the maintenance of local improvements located within the boundaries of the District and include paseos, street trees, landscaped areas and appurtenant facilities that are located throughout the District and were installed to create a common landscape theme and neighborhood identity for parcels within the District. The improvements are situated within the public rights-of-way of the internal local street network within the District which provides ingress and egress for parcels within the District to access the City’s system of arterial streets. City residents and traffic from parcels not within the District do not use the internal local street network or paseos except for the express purpose of accessing properties located within the District, and therefore do not benefit from the improvements. Only parcels which are within the District and proximate to the improvements and within the Assessment District are being assessed. Accordingly, there is a direct physical and visual nexus between each parcel being assessed and the improvements to be funded by the assessment that does not exist for parcels outside of the District boundary and that is particular and distinct from that shared by the public at large. Under these circumstances, all of the benefits conferred are direct and local in nature, and provide a benefit to only those parcels located within the boundaries of the District. Based upon this, it has been determined that there is no quantifiable general benefit to the surrounding community and the public in general from the maintenance of the improvements within the boundaries of the District, and therefore no portion of the project costs should be attributed to general benefit. Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District and, as such, confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and Page 330 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 9 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 14 Fiscal Year 2025/26 • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing beautification, shade and overall enhancement to properties within the District. The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements, including the community trails, were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District, only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements is identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one EBU. Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of development (land-use}, and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel Multi-Family Residential 1.00 Unit Non-Residential 2.00 Acre The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment. Page 331 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 9 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 15 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The following summarizes the Fiscal Year 2025/26 maximum allowable assessment rates for the District: Property Type (County Use Code) Maximum Allowable Assessment Rate per EBU Actual Asessment Rate per EBU Total Units/Acres Total EBUs Single Family Residential $742.25 $321.28 1,080.00 1,080.00 Multi-Family Residential 742.25 321.28 1,381.00 1,381.00 Non-Residential 742.25 321.28 18.28 36.56 The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the landscaping and community trail improvements is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report. Cost of Living Inflator Each fiscal year beginning with Fiscal Year 2001/02, the maximum allowable assessment may be increased each year, based upon the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), for the Riverside – San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index area, as determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its successor. The Engineer shall compute the percentage difference between the CPI for March of each year and the CPI for the previous March, and shall then adjust the existing assessment by an amount not to exceed such percentage for the following fiscal year. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the Engineer shall use the revised index or a comparable system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living. If for any reason the percentage change is negative the maximum allowable assessment would not be decreased by reason of such negative percentage change and would remain at the amount as computed on the previous fiscal year regardless of any CPI adjustment. The annual assessment cannot exceed the actual costs to operate the District in any given year. If operating costs are such that the maximum assessment amount is not needed, the City would levy only what is needed for that year. The actual assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2025/26 will increase from $311.92 to $321.28 per single-family, a CPI increase of 3.0% as compared to Fiscal Year 2024/25.

Jason C. Welday Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Date Page 340 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 10 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 3 Fiscal Year 2025/26 INTRODUCTION Reason for Assessment Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to: Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement or facility such as paseos, community trails, fencing and irrigation systems, and providing for the growth, vigor and care of the trees and landscape plant materials. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting of landscape or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Process for Annual Assessment The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public Page 341 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 10 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.

Page 349 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 10 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 12 Fiscal Year 2025/26 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D. all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. Page 350 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 10 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 13 Fiscal Year 2025/26 General Benefit Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next "separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred," and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed. In this District, the improvements being financed consists of the maintenance of local improvements located within the boundaries of the District and include paseos, street trees, landscaped areas and appurtenant facilities that are located throughout the District and were installed to create a common landscape theme and neighborhood identity for parcels within the District. The improvements are situated within the public rights-of-way of the internal local street network within the District which provides ingress and egress for parcels within the District to access the City’s system of arterial streets. City residents and traffic from parcels not within the District do not use the internal local street network or paseos except for the express purpose of accessing properties located within the District, and therefore do not benefit from the improvements. Only parcels which are within the District and proximate to the improvements and within the District are being assessed. Accordingly, there is a direct physical and visual nexus between each parcel being assessed and the improvements to be funded by the assessment that does not exist for parcels outside of the District boundary and that is particular and distinct from that shared by the public at large. Under these circumstances, all of the benefits conferred are direct and local in nature, and provide a benefit to only those parcels located within the boundaries of the District. Based upon this, it has been determined that there is no quantifiable general benefit to the surrounding community and the public in general from the maintenance of the improvements within the boundaries of the District, and therefore no portion of the project costs should be attributed to general benefit. Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District and, as such, confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing beautification, shade and overall enhancement to properties within the District. Page 351 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 10 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 14 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements, including the community trails, were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District, only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements is identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one EBU. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment. The following summarizes the Fiscal Year 2025/26 maximum allowable assessment rates for the District: Property Type (County Use Code) Maximum Allowable Assessment Rate per EBU Actual Asessment Rate per EBU Total Units/Acres Total EBUs Single Family Residential $1,142.19 $914.05 786.00 786.00 Page 352 ____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 10 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 15 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the landscaping and community trail improvements is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report. Cost of Living Inflator Each fiscal year beginning with Fiscal Year 2002/03, the maximum allowable assessment may increase each year, based upon the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), All Urban Consumers (CPI- U), for the Riverside – San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index area, as determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its successor. The Engineer shall compute the percentage difference between the CPI for March of each year and the CPI for the previous March, and shall then adjust the existing assessment by an amount not to exceed such percentage for the following fiscal year. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the Engineer shall use the revised index or a comparable system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living. If for any reason the percentage change is negative the maximum allowable assessment would not be decreased by reason of such negative percentage change and would remain at the amount as computed on the previous fiscal year regardless of any CPI adjustment. The annual assessment cannot exceed the actual costs to operate the District in any given year. If operating costs are such that the maximum assessment amount is not needed, the City would levy only what is needed for that year. The actual assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2025/26 will increase from $887.43 to $914.05 per single-family residence, a CPI increase of 3.0% as compared to Fiscal Year 2024/25.

These other revenues may include: interest earnings and Developer Energizing Fees. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including traffic signals. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by Page 368 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 11 Fiscal Year 2025/26 the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and • providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District. The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. General Benefit In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which include: • the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel through the District However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct benefit to parcels outside of the district that are not being assessed. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. Page 369 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 12 Fiscal Year 2025/26 When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The Equivalent Benefit Unit ("EBU") method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU). Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land- use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Benefit Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel Multi-Family Residential 1.00 Unit Non-Residential 2.00 Acre The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment. The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2025/26 maximum allowable assessment rates for the District: Page 370 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 13 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Property Type (County Use Code) Maximum Allowable Assessment Rate per EBU Actual Asessment Rate per EBU Total Units/Acres Total EBUs Single Family Residential $17.77 $17.77 28,411.00 28,411.00 Multi-Family Residential 17.77 17.77 12,631.00 12,631.00 Non-Residential 17.77 17.77 3,134.76 6,269.52 The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the streetlights and traffic signals is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report. ASSESSMENT DIAGRAM An Assessment Diagram for the District is shown on the following page.

These other revenues may include: interest earnings and Developer Energizing Fees. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including traffic signals. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by Page 386 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 11 Fiscal Year 2025/26 the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and • providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District. The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. General Benefit In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which include: • the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel through the District However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct benefit to parcels outside of the District that are not being assessed. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. Page 387 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 12 Fiscal Year 2025/26 When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one EBU. Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel Multi-Family Residential 1.00 Unit Non-Residential 2.00 Acre The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.

Jason C. Welday Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Date Page 396 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 3 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 3 Fiscal Year 2025/26 INTRODUCTION Reason for Assessment Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to: Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements, the installation of LED street lighting, and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Process for Annual Assessment The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. Page 397 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 3 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.

Description of the Boundaries of the District The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of the District are generally described as that area located south of the 210 Freeway, west of Etiwanda Ave, southwest of the I-15 Freeway and east of Haven Ave, also known as the Victoria Neighborhood Planned Community, and are more particularly in the diagram of the District included herein. Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report. Description of Improvements and Services The improvements are the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and appurtenant facilities throughout the District. The maintenance and servicing includes, but is not limited to, furnishing electric current for public lighting facilities including street lights and traffic signals, and associated appurtenant facilities.

Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as Page 405 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 3 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 12 Fiscal Year 2025/26 property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EBU). Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land- use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value M ultiplier Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel Multi-Family Residential 1.00 Unit Non-Residential 2.00 Acre The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.

Jason C. Welday Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Date Page 414 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 4 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 3 Fiscal Year 2025/26 INTRODUCTION Reason for Assessment Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to: Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements, the installation of LED street lighting, and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Process for Annual Assessment The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. Page 415 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 4 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the boundaries of the District. Description of the Boundaries of the District The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of the District are generally described as that area of the City known as the Terra Vista Planned Community, which is located north of Foothill Blvd, west of Rochester Ave, east of Haven Ave, south of Base Line Rd and includes the northeast corner of Base Line Rd and Haven Ave. Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report. Description of Improvements and Services The improvements are the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and appurtenant facilities throughout the District. The maintenance and servicing includes, but is not limited to, furnishing electric current for public lighting facilities including street lights and traffic signals, and associated appurtenant facilities. Services include personnel, materials, contracting services, utilities, and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and repair required to keep the improvements in operational and satisfactory condition. In addition, it is the City's intention to continue to use cost effective materials, in order to lower expenses of the District. In Fiscal Year 2017/18, the acquisition by the City of the street lights and installation of LED street lighting specially benefiting the properties within the District has been added to the improvements.

Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the total amount of funds needed to maintain the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance with Proposition 218. It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the District is as follows: Operating Reserve Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2025 103,569$ Contribution to/(Use of) Reserve - Fiscal Year 2025/26 (40,480) Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2026 63,089$ Page 420 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 4 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 9 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Definitions of Budget Items The following definitions describe the costs and expenses included in the District Budget: Personnel Services: This item includes the costs attributed to the salaries of all full-time and part-time employees dedicated to maintenance of the District improvements.

Page 421 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 4 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 10 Fiscal Year 2025/26 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including traffic signals. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. Page 422 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 4 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 11 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and • providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District. The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. General Benefit In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which include: • the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel through the District However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct benefit to parcels outside of the district that are not being assessed. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as Page 423 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 4 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 12 Fiscal Year 2025/26 property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EBU). Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land- use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel Multi-Family Residential 0.50 Unit Non-Residential 2.00 Acre The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment. The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2025/26 maximum allowable assessment rates for the District: Property Type (County Use Code) Maximum Allowable Assessment Rate per EBU Actual Asessment Rate per EBU Total Units/Acres Total EBUs Single Family Residential $28.96 $28.96 2,652.00 2,652.00 Multi-Family Residential 28.96 28.96 5,250.00 2,625.00 Non-Residential 28.96 28.96 234.39 468.78 Page 424 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 4 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 13 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the streetlights and traffic signals is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to the special benefit received by such parcels of real property.

Welday Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Date Page 432 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 5 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 3 Fiscal Year 2025/26 INTRODUCTION Reason for Assessment Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to: Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements, the installation of LED street lighting, and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Process for Annual Assessment The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. Page 433 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 5 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the boundaries of the District. Description of the Boundaries of the District The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The boundaries of the District are generally described as that area located north of the 210 Freeway, south of Banyan St, west of Rochester Ave and east of Milliken Ave, also known as the Caryn Planned Community.

These other revenues may include: interest earnings and Developer Energizing Fees. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including traffic signals. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by Page 440 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 5 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 11 Fiscal Year 2025/26 the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and • providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District. The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. General Benefit In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which include: • the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel through the District However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct benefit to parcels outside of the district that are not being assessed. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit Page 441 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 5 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 12 Fiscal Year 2025/26 derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the method of assessment became more refined, however, the assessment per parcel has remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one EBU. The following table provides the weighting factors applied by land-use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment. The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2025/26 maximum allowable assessment rates for the District: Property Type (County Use Code) Maximum Allowable Assessment Rate per EBU Actual Asessment Rate per EBU Total Units/Acres Total EBUs Single Family Residential $34.60 $34.60 1,276.00 1,276.00 Page 442 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 5 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 13 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the street lights and traffic signals is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report. ASSESSMENT DIAGRAM An Assessment Diagram for the District is shown on the following page.

Page 457 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 6 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 10 Fiscal Year 2025/26 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including traffic signals. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. Page 458 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 6 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 11 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and • providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District. The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. General Benefit In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which include: • the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel through the District However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct benefit to parcels outside of the district that are not being assessed. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as Page 459 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 6 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 12 Fiscal Year 2025/26 property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the method of assessment became more refined, however, the assessment per parcel has remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one EBU. Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier Non-Residential 1.00 Acre The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment. The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2025/26 maximum allowable assessment rate for the District: Property Type (County Use Code) Maximum Allowable Assessment Rate per EBU Actual Asessment Rate per EBU Total Units/Acres Total EBUs Non-Residential $51.40 $51.40 2,568.10 2,568.10 The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the streetlights and traffic signals is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report.

Jason C. Welday Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Date Page 468 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 7 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 3 Fiscal Year 2025/26 INTRODUCTION Reason for Assessment Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to: Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements, the installation of LED street lighting, and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Process for Annual Assessment The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. Page 469 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 7 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the boundaries of the District. Description of the Boundaries of the District The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of the District are generally described as that area of the City known as North Etiwanda, which is generally bounded by Highland Ave on the south, Day Creek Channel on the west and City limits on the east and north. Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report. Description of Improvements and Services The improvements are the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and appurtenant facilities throughout the District. The maintenance and servicing includes, but is not limited to, furnishing electric current for public lighting facilities including street lights and traffic signals, and associated appurtenant facilities. Services include personnel, materials, contracting services, utilities, and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and repair required to keep the improvements in operational and satisfactory condition. In addition, it is the City's intention to continue to use cost effective materials, in order to lower expenses of the District. In Fiscal Year 2017/18, the acquisition by the City of the street lights and installation of LED street lighting specially benefiting the properties within the District has been added to the improvements.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including traffic signals. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by Page 476 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 7 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 11 Fiscal Year 2025/26 the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and • providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District. The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. General Benefit In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which include: • the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel through the District However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct benefit to parcels outside of the district that are not being assessed. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. Page 477 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 7 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 12 Fiscal Year 2025/26 When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The Equivalent Dwelling Unit ("EDU") method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). Every other land-use is converted to EDUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land- use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EDU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value M ultiplier Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel Multi-Family Residential 0.50 Unit Non-Residential 2.00 Acre The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EDU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EDU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.

Jason C. Welday Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer Date Page 486 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 8 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 3 Fiscal Year 2025/26 INTRODUCTION Reason for Assessment Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to: Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements, the installation of LED street lighting, and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Process for Annual Assessment The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which: • Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein. • Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements. • Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District. • Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. • Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment. • States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year. If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. Page 487 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 8 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2025/26 During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the boundaries of the District. Description of the Boundaries of the District The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of the District are generally described as that area of the City known as South Etiwanda, which is generally bounded by Etiwanda Ave on the west, Highland Ave on the north and Foothill Blvd on the south. The southern portion of the District is bounded by East Ave on the east and the northern portion of the District is bounded by the I-15 Freeway on the east. Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report. Description of Improvements and Services The improvements are the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and appurtenant facilities throughout the District. The maintenance and servicing includes, but is not limited to, furnishing electric current for public lighting facilities including street lights and traffic signals, and associated appurtenant facilities. Services include personnel, materials, contracting services, utilities, and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and repair required to keep the improvements in operational and satisfactory condition. In addition, it is the City's intention to continue to use cost effective materials, in order to lower expenses of the District. In Fiscal Year 2017/18, the acquisition by the City of the street lights and installation of LED street lighting specially benefiting the properties within the District has been added to the improvements.

Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the total amount of funds needed to maintain the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance with Proposition 218. It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the District is as follows: Operating Reserve Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2025 1,849,102$ Contribution to/(Use of) Reserve - Fiscal Year 2025/26 (62,014) Estimated Reserve Fund Balance, June 30, 2026 1,787,088$ Page 492 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 8 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 9 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Definitions of Budget Items The following definitions describe the costs and expenses included in the District Budget: Personnel Services: This item includes the costs attributed to the salaries of all full-time and part-time employees dedicated to maintenance of the District improvements.

Page 493 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 8 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 10 Fiscal Year 2025/26 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Overview Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including traffic signals. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]. Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement". Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed. Page 494 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 8 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 11 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Special Benefit The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by: • improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and • ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and • providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and • providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District. The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements, including the community trails, were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance. General Benefit In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which include: • the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel through the District However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct benefit to parcels outside of the district that are not being assessed. Method of Assessment Spread Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as Page 495 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 8 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 12 Fiscal Year 2025/26 property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home equals one EBU. Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment. Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value M ultiplier Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel Multi-Family Residential 1.00 Unit Non-Residential 2.00 Acre The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment. The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2025/26 maximum allowable assessment rates for the District: Property Type (County Use Code) Maximum Allowable Assessment Rate per EBU Actual Asessment Rate per EBU Total Units/Acres Total EBUs Single Family Residential $193.75 $30.60 1,206.00 1,206.00 Multi-Family Residential 193.75 30.60 1,381.00 1,381.00 Non-Residential 193.75 30.60 31.89 63.78 Page 496 ____________________________________________________________________________ Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 8 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 13 Fiscal Year 2025/26 The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the street lights and traffic signals is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report. ASSESSMENT DIAGRAM An Assessment Diagram for the District is shown on the following page.

Provisions for this annual assessment are included in Chapter 3 of the 1972 Act. The purpose of this report is to set forth findings and the assessment analysis for the annual levy of assessments for the Park and Recreation Improvement District No. PD-85 (the “District”). This District, using direct benefit assessments, was originally created to provide funds to finance the cost of construction, maintenance, operation and debt payment of Heritage Community Park and Red Hill Community Park in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Subsequently, the debt has been repaid with only the ongoing maintenance and operation with periodic capital improvement expenditures of the parks remaining. FINDINGS Section 22573 of the 1972 Act, requires assessments to be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. The section states: The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The means of determining whether or not a parcel will benefit from the improvements is contained in the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7, commencing with Section 5000 of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California). The 1972 Act also provides for the classification of various areas within an assessment district into benefit areas where, by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of all territory receiving substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements and may consist of contiguous or noncontiguous areas. As the assessments are levied on the bases of benefit, they are considered a user’s fee, not a tax; and, therefore, are not governed by Article XIII A. Properties owned by public agencies, such as a city, county, state, or the Federal government, are not assessable without the approval of the particular agency and, normally, are not assessed. Certain other parcels used for railroad mainline right-of-way, public utility transmission right-of-way, and common areas are also exempt from assessment. The assessment for mobile home parks will be based upon underlying lot acreage.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this ______ day of ___________, 2025. ATTACHMENT 1 Page 544 1 Exhibit A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND TEAMSTERS LOCAL 1932 July, 1 2025 – June 30, 2026 Page 545 2 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) BETWEEN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA AND TEAMSTERS LOCAL 1932 (Teamsters) SECTION 1: RECOGNITION The City of Rancho Cucamonga recognizes the Teamsters Local 1932 (Teamsters) as the recognized employee organization for City employees in the Maintenance Bargaining Unit, comprised of the following classifications: Maintenance Worker Senior Maintenance Worker Lead Maintenance Worker Lead Mechanic Mechanic Electrician Equipment Operator Signal and Lighting Technician Signal and Lighting Coordinator Inventory Specialist Maintenance Coordinator SECTION 2: COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT Effective the first full pay period in July 2025 the following equity adjustments, resulting in a increase in salary for employees in those position, will become effective for the following positions: o 5.75% Equipment Operator o 1.53% Inventory Specialist o 1.51% Lead Maintenance Worker o 10.68% Lead Mechanic o 1.15% Senior Maintenance Worker o 7.27% Signal and Lighting Coordinator o 5.33% Signal and Lighting Technician Effective the first full pay period in July 2025, all Teamsters covered employees will receive a 2% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). Effective the first full pay period in June 2026, all Teamsters covered employees will receive a 1.5% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). SECTION 3: SALARY STRUCTURE As of the effective date of the MOU, all employees will be assigned to salary ranges which are no less than 20% below the control point and no more than 10% above the control point. Actual salary within the range is determined by performance, achievement of goals and objectives, or for recent appointments, growth within the position. SECTION 4: SALARY SURVEY The City shall conduct a salary survey of labor market cities approximately six months before the start of new labor negotiations for the next MOU. Page 546 3 Subsequently, the City will conduct a compensation survey of all covered classifications using the City’s current survey methodology (salary and salary plus medical and EPMC). Positions with four or less comparable positions shall be benchmarked to another Teamsters position. SECTION 5: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN The annual performance review shall be replaced with a professional development plan and at least two (2) ongoing coaching check-ins a year. The City will form a committee of all bargaining groups who have agreed to change from an annual performance evaluation to an annual professional development plan effective July 1, 2022. The committee will review the form(s) and processes not defined here for employees and their supervisors to develop the annual plan. Training, as well as handouts, will be provided to employees and supervisors to assist with the professional development plan and yearly coaching conversations. The City will review the form(s) and process with this committee at least every three years to assure their usefulness for employees and supervisors. Teamsters Local 1932 covered employees on or starting a probationary period would be eligible to receive up to 5% through the term of their probationary period per the Personnel Rules, and would then be eligible for the merit increase in the next development plan cycle as long as the probationary period was completed before the end of November (ex. An employee whose probationary period ended in March through November would be eligible for the upcoming February increase. An employee whose probationary period ended December to February would have to wait for the following February for another increase.) Each November, employees and their supervisors will work together to develop the Professional Development Plan which must be completed by the employee and supervisor by the end of the second full week in December of every year. Plan Timeline: • First and second week of November – employees fill out their “My Action Plan.” • Third and Fourth week of November -employees and supervisors work together on the Plan, and supervisors review the plans with their managers or who their department determines. • Remainder of November through second week of December – Supervisors finalize the Plan taking into account any input which their supervisors provided and go over the Plan with the employee before submittal. Upon submission of the completed Plan in December (as outlined in the timeline above), employees not at top step are eligible for a merit increase of 5% but no greater than top step. The change will be reflected in the first full pay period the following February. There is no retroactivity for plans where the employee portion is not timely submitted. If, due to unforeseen circumstances where the employee is unable to timely submit the employee portion, the City agrees to provide additional time and/or resources as is necessary. Employees on a performance improvement plan as of December will not be eligible for a merit increase. All performance improvement plans will be reviewed in November. The current performance evaluation system will end June 30, 2022, with any increase from then on being part of this new once a year system. Page 547 4 SECTION 6: LIFE INSURANCE The City provides $30,000 base coverage of life insurance for all employees. Employees who want to purchase additional life insurance coverage with personal funds may do so at the City’s group rate. SECTION 7: HEALTH INSURANCE A. Health Insurance Contribution Effective the first full pay period in July 2020, the City shall provide employee and family insurance for all existing full-time continuous salaried employees within the bargaining group, subject to limitation that no such monthly funding by the City shall exceed $1,500 per month. Effective the first full pay period in December 2025, the City contribution shall increase to $1,550 per month. B Cash In-Lieu Payment Beginning in 2023 represented employees may waive coverage under a City-paid medical insurance plan and receive a $300 per month cash-in-lieu payment if they meet ACA requirements. To be eligible, an employee must provide the following: (1) proof that the employee and all individuals for whom the employee intends to claim a personal exemption deduction for the taxable year or years that begin or end in or with the City’s plan year to which the opt-out applies (“tax family”), have or will have minimum essential coverage through another source (other than coverage in the individual market, whether or not obtained through Covered California) for the plan year to which the opt- out arrangement applies (“opt-out period”); and (2) the employee must sign an attestation that the employee and his/her tax family have or will have such minimum essential coverage for the opt-out period. An employee must sign an attestation every plan year at open enrollment or within 30 days after the start of the plan year. The opt-out payment cannot be made, and the City will not, in fact, make payment if the employer knows that the employee or tax family member does not have such alternative coverage, or if conditions in this paragraph are not otherwise satisfied. C Affordable Care Act Reopener The Teamsters or City may reopen negotiations on the issue of health insurance benefits to address changes to or the elimination of the ACA and in order to avoid penalties or taxes under the ACA or other statutory scheme that may result from an interpretation of the ACA or other statutory scheme by the Internal Revenue Service or other federal agency (including, but not limited to, a revenue ruling, regulation or other guidance) or state agency, or a ruling by a court of competent jurisdiction. These negotiations will not result in a reduction or increase in the amount the City provides for employee health coverage. Page 548 5 SECTION 8: RETIREE MEDICAL Subject to the conditions stated below, effective upon a service or disability retirement from City service at or beyond age 55 with 10 consecutive years of City service at the time of retirement, retirees shall be eligible to 100% personally fund, without any City contribution, participation in a group health insurance program(s) which is making group health insurance available to the City’s retirees. It is agreed and acknowledged by the parties to this MOU that no representation is or can be made by the City, that such group retiree health insurance is available, or if available, will remain available for any specific future period of time. If no such group health insurance is reasonably available, or if the private carrier(s) terminates such coverage as to the retiree group or any individual group member, the City shall have no obligation/duty to self-fund or otherwise provide insurance or replacement insurance. All premiums for the retiree and/or eligible dependents shall be borne by the retiree. The City shall advance and submit the necessary premiums to the carrier(s), subject to the retiree reimbursing the City not later than 30 calendar days after City payment of the premium. Failure to timely reimburse the City shall result in no further premium payments being made by the City, resulting in termination of insurance coverage. The City’s duty to advance said premiums shall terminate at age 65 of the retiree, regardless of whether or not the retiree is eligible for Medicare. City shall advise the group carrier of the insured’s status as a retiree. Coverage eligibility shall then be solely determined by the group insurance carrier(s). It is likely that premium rates for retirees and/or dependents shall be greater than rates for employees. Regardless, retirees shall pay 100% of said rates. If at any time, it is determined by any group health insurance carrier that the City is prohibited from seeking premium reimbursement from a retiree, City affiliation and retiree enrollment in said group insurance plan shall immediately terminate upon rendering of the insurance carrier’s decision. In such case, no retiree shall seek reimbursement from the City for any prior premiums paid by the retiree to the City as and for premium reimbursement. SECTION 9: RETIREMENT BENEFIT Unit members who do not meet the definition of “new member” under the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) (those unit members shall be referred to as “classic members”) are enrolled in either the CalPERS retirement plan commonly referred to as the 2.5% at age 55 retirement plan (“Tier 1”), or in the 2% at age 55 retirement plan (“Tier 2”) and shall be provided the benefits as described below: A. Tier 1 – Employees Hired before July 3 2011 §21354.4 2.5% at 55 Full Formula §21574 4th Level 1959 Survivor §20042 1 Yr Final Compensation Page 549 6 1. Effective October 2022, employees shall pay the full eight percent (8%) of their PERSable compensation toward the CalPERS member contribution. The City will adopt a resolution to reflect this change prior to the effective date. B. Tier 2 – Classic Employees Hired on or after July 4, 2011 §21354 2% @ 55 Full Formula §21574 4th Level 1959 Survivor §20037 3 Yr Final Compensation 1. Effective October 2022, employees shall pay the full seven percent (7%) of their PERSable compensation toward the CalPERS member contribution. The City will adopt a resolution to reflect this change prior to the effective date. C. It is understood that all contributions paid by the employee as described in Parts A through C above shall be calculated based upon the full base salary of the employee, plus any additional PERSable compensation. D. There shall be no sunset date to any provision in Section 9. E. The California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) – As it may from time to time exist, the PEPRA shall in its entirety be given full force and effect. Any provision in this MOU which contradicts any provision of the PEPRA shall be deemed null and void, with the contrary PEPRA provision(s) being given full force and effect. Therefore, no provision of PEPRA shall be deemed to impair any provision of this MOU. PEPRA includes, but is not limited to, the provisions described below: Unit members hired on and after January 1, 2013, deemed to be a “new member” as defined in Government Code §7522.04, shall individually pay the Member CalPERS contribution rate of 50% of the normal cost rate for the Defined Benefit Plan in which said “new member” is enrolled, rounded to the nearest quarter of 1% or the current contribution rate of similarly situated employees, whichever is greater. Unit members who are “new members” and miscellaneous employees on and after January 1, 2013, shall be enrolled in the 2% @62 retirement formula (Govt. Code §7522.20). Unit members who are “new members” on and after January 1, 2013, shall have “final compensation” measured by the highest average annual “pensionable compensation” earned by the member during a period of at least 36 consecutive months (Section 7522.32), and their retirement benefits shall be calculated based on “pensionable compensation” (Section 7522.10) rather than “compensation earnable” (Section 20636). F. In addition, the City has adopted the PARS Retirement Enhancement Plan generally described as .5% (one-half percent) at 55 or at 60, depending upon the employee’s hire date, for all miscellaneous employees hired on or prior to December 31, 2012. To be eligible, employees must be at least age 56, have ten (10) years of full-time continuous service and retire from the City. This benefit will be paid to qualified retirees in addition to any CalPERS benefits to which they are entitled. Page 550 7 SECTION 10: VOLUNTARY EMPLOYEE BENEFIT ASSOCIATION (VEBA) The City has established a Voluntary Employee Benefit Association (VEBA) through the California Government Voluntary Employee Benefit Association to assist employee with planning for future health care expenses. Employees are allowed a one-time election to opt into the plan. Represented employees shall be eligible to participate in the plan according to a schedule negotiated separately from this agreement. Contributions to the Plan shall be made as City contributions through a salary reduction arrangement. All contributions made on behalf of employees through such salary reduction arrangement are made on a pre-tax basis in accordance with IRS provision. No employer contributions are to be made to the plan. At the discretion of the applicable bargaining unit, contributions may be amended once per year provided that such amendment is permitted by IRS regulations and in conformity with the plan document. SECTION 11: DEFERRED COMPENSATION The City will match dollar for dollar up to 2.4% of base salary in deferred compensation for any Teamsters covered employee who pays up to 2.4% of base salary into deferred compensation through payroll deductions. For example: if an employee with a monthly salary of $4,000 puts 2.4% per month of the pay they earned into deferred compensation ($96), then the City will match the amount, up to the 2.4% maximum, and pay $96 towards that employee’s deferred compensation. Effective the first full pay period in July 2022, Deferred Compensation participation for new bargaining unit members shall be automatic with an opt-out option. SECTION 12: DENTAL INSURANCE The City shall provide a dental insurance plan for all full-time continuous salaried employees within the bargaining unit. SECTION 13: OPTICAL INSURANCE The City shall provide an optical insurance plan for all full-time continuous salaried employees within the bargaining unit. The City agrees to average the cost of optical insurance for all full-time continuous salaried employees within the bargaining unit. SECTION 14: PREMIUM ONLY PLAN UNDER SECTION 125 A. The City has implemented a Section 125 (premium only plan) that allows pre-tax payroll deductions for employee’s contributions for health benefits. B. The City agrees to provide technical assistance (such as automatic payroll deduction, etc.) in the event employees within the bargaining unit decide to expand this benefit from a “premium only plan” to a “flexible spending account” provided that those participating pay all costs incurred in expanding and maintaining this program. Page 551 8 SECTION 15: BEREAVEMENT LEAVE When a death occurs in the family of a full-time employee, the employee shall be granted up to 80 hours of bereavement leave with pay. A death certificate or other acceptable evidence may be required by the City Manager or designee before leave is allowed. Family members are defined as follows: employee’s spouse or domestic partner, employee’s parents, employee’s grandparents, employee’s children, employee’s siblings, employee’s grandchildren, employee’s great-grandparents, employee’s spouse or domestic partner’s parents, employee’s spouse or domestic partner’s grandparents, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, employee’s spouse or domestic partner’s children, employee’s spouse’s grandchildren, employees spouse or domestic partner’s great-grandchildren, employee’s spouse or domestic partner’s great-grandparents, or a blood relative residing with employee. The City Manager or designee shall approve such bereavement leave. (References to domestic partner refer to registered domestic partners, as defined by California Family Code Section 297.) Employees are eligible for an additional 40 hours of bereavement leave in addition to the currently provided 80 hours when the bereavement leave is related to the employee’s spouse or domestic partner, employee’s parents, employee’s children, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, or employee’s siblings, employee’s spouse or domestic partner’s parents, employee’s spouse or domestic partner’s children, or a blood relative residing with the employee. An employee who utilizes bereavement leave shall notify their supervisor of the intent to use such leave. In accordance with AB1949, the bereavement leave must be completed within three (3) months of the date of death but need not be taken consecutively. SECTION 16: PERSONAL LEAVE Employees within the bargaining unit can use up to 40 hours of accrued sick leave, vacation, administrative leave or holiday time as personal leave. These 40 hours can be used incrementally (i.e., 1 hour, ½ hour) throughout the fiscal year. Use of this time is for situations requiring the employee’s attention and addressing work-life balance issues. Personal Leave needs to be cleared with their supervisor when using this time. Personal leave can be taken after six months service. SECTION 17: VACATION All full-time employees within the bargaining unit shall, with continuous service, accrue working hours of vacation monthly according to the following schedule. Length of Hours Accrued Annual Hours Service Per Pay Period Accrued In Years 1 3.077 80 2 3.461 90 3 3.846 100 4 4.230 110 5 4.615 120 6-8 5.000 130 9 5.384 140 10 5.769 150 11-13 6.153 160 Page 552 9 14 6.538 170 15-17 6.923 180 18+ 7.307 190 SECTION 18: VACATION CAP Employees will be cashed out of vacation balances in excess of 1040 hours as follows: A. In the first year of the MOU, as this new cap is implemented, existing employees who at the end of the calendar year have vacation hours accrued that exceed 1040 hours will make an irrevocable decision before the end of the 2019 calendar year as to whether they want the overage distributed via cash or deferred compensation, or if they will maintain their current accrued vacation hours in excess of 1040 in a separate one-time bank, which will be treated as any other vacation. If the employee selects payment or distribution, the payment or distribution will occur in April of 2020. B. Beginning in 2020, any hours accrued over 1040 hours as of the end of each calendar year will be cashed out via check or deferred compensation. Employees will make an irrevocable decision by the end of the calendar year as to the cash-out method, and the payment or distribution will occur in April of the following calendar year. SECTION 19: VACATION BUYBACK Annually, any employee that wants to have the City buyback vacation hours shall make an irrevocable election to do so. The irrevocable election shall be submitted in writing to the City’s Human Resources Department on or before December 15 and shall indicate the number of hours of vacation that the employee expects to earn in the following calendar year that the employee wants the City to buy back, with a minimum buyback of 20 hours up to a maximum of 160 hours. This buyback shall occur twice annually, in June/July (between the last payday in June and the first payday in July) and December (between the first and second payday of the month), and the employee must indicate the total amount of hours they want paid out in June /July and in December. Regardless of the number of hours requested to be cashed out at either time, the most the City can cash out is the number of hours accrued and available in that calendar year to date. Employees must maintain a minimum of 40 hours of accrued vacation subsequent to any payment of vacation buyback time. SECTION 20: SICK LEAVE All full-time employees shall, with continuous service, accrue 120 hours of sick leave annually. Sick leave accrual (10 hours/month), begins on the first day of employment A. Personal Sick Leave Employees can use sick leave for personal illness, injury, a health-related reason (such as the diagnosis, care of treatment of a health condition), or preventive care. B. Family Sick Leave Employees can use sick leave for the illness or injury of a health-related reason (such as a diagnosis, care or treatment of a health condition), or preventive care of a qualified family member. Page 553 10 For the purpose of Family Sick Leave, a qualified member means the employee’s child (includes any age or dependency status, or for whom the employee is a legal ward or stands in loco parentis), parent (includes person who stood in loco parentis of the employee as a child, parent-in-law, spouse, registered domestic partner, grandparent, grandparent-in-law, great-grandparent, great-grandparent-in-law, grandchild, great- grandchild, or sibling.

Sick leave can be used for additional purposes as provided in Government Code Section 12945.8, subsections (a)(3) and (b), as well as all other purposes as allowed by applicable law. SECTION 21: SICK LEAVE BUYBACK AND EARLY RETIREMENT INCENTIVE* Effective the first full pay period in July 2022, if employees within the bargaining unit terminate their city employment after 5 years of continuous service, the City will buy back 130 hours of sick time if they provide at least two weeks’ written notice of their intent to separate. If employees provide an early notification of their intention to retire from the City, the City will pay employees for additional non-cumulative accrued sick leave hours in accordance with the schedule below. Notifications must be given in writing to Human Resources in the form of an irrevocable letter of resignation with intent to retire. • Notification of at least six months (180 calendar days*) – 75 hours additional sick leave buyback. • Notification of at least four months (120 calendar days*) – 50 hours additional sick leave buyback. • Notification of at least two months (60 calendar days*) – 20 hours additional sick leave buyback. *Employees must have leave available in order to be eligible for the additional buyback. Use of vacation and management leave during the time between the notification and the employee’s retirement date will not be counted toward the required notification periods in the schedule above. SECTION 22: HOLIDAYS The City Offices shall observe the following fourteen (14) holidays. All full-time continuous salaried employees shall be compensated at their regular rate for these days. Page 554 11 (1) July 4 Independence Day (2) First Monday of September Labor Day (3) November 11 Veteran’s Day (4) Fourth Thursday of November Thanksgiving Day (5) Day Following Thanksgiving Floater (6) December 24 Day preceding Christmas (Floater) (7) December 25 Christmas Day (8) January 1 New Year’s Day (9) Third Monday of January Martin Luther King’s Birthday (10) Third Monday of February President’s Day (11) Last Monday of May Memorial Day (12 – 14) Three discretionary days may be taken by employee at his/her convenience after six months service subject to approval of the department head. Days may not be carried over from one fiscal year to the next. Whenever a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday shall be observed as a holiday. Whenever a holiday falls on a Friday or Saturday, the preceding Thursday shall be observed as the holiday. When a holiday combination occurs (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.) where two consecutive days are holidays and it would result in the City Hall being open to serve the public only 2 days during the week, only one of the holidays will be observed and the other holiday will become a floating holiday. For example, for Thanksgiving, Thursday will be observed as the regular holiday; however, Friday will become a floating holiday to be used at a later date. For Christmas, Wednesday will be observed as the regular holiday; however, Tuesday (the day preceding Christmas) will become a floating holiday to be used at a later date. In the instance of Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s, employees will have until June 30 to use those floating holidays accrued between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. Also, those days will not accrue as floating holidays until the actual holiday has occurred. Each year the City will designate which days will be observed and which are floating holidays. Employees within the bargaining unit who are eligible to bank a holiday have until June 30 (end of fiscal year) to use the banked holiday earned from July 1 through April 30. Any holiday banked in May and June, employees have until September 30 to use the banked holiday. SECTION 23: HOLIDAY TIME The City agrees that employees within the bargaining unit who are assigned to work on a holiday, whether or not their regular shift assignment requires they work that day, are eligible for pay at time and one-half for working that day. This time and one-half may be taken as compensation or put in a compensatory time off bank, (in effect, compensating at double time and one-half). That rate of compensation is tallied as follows: the ten (10) hours compensation for the holiday, plus compensation at time and one-half for the hours actually worked. This payment at time and one- half abrogates the employee’s right to that holiday. SECTION 24: PREMIUM HOLIDAY COMPENSATION Bargaining unit employees required as part of the regular work assignment to work on Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Independence Day or Thanksgiving Day, are allowed to observe the holiday on another day. Additionally, these employees who work on the aforementioned designated holidays may select to receive compensation on that holiday at time and one-half for the ten-hour shift or take a second holiday as time off at a later date. Page 555 12 SECTION 25: HOLIDAY FACILITY CLOSURE During the term of this MOU, there will be Holiday Facility closures, and certain City facilities may close in conjunction with the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Closure dates for City facilities shall be determined by the City in order to balance the impact on public services. The City will strive to provide a schedule on Holiday Facility closures at least six months or more in advance of the closure. During a holiday closure, affected represented employees may take paid leave from holiday, compensatory time, vacation accruals, or use unpaid leave. When holiday closures are implemented by the City, Section 20’s provision regarding consecutive holidays shall not apply. SECTION 26: NATAL AND ADOPTION LEAVE WITHOUT PAY A. With Pay Employees within the bargaining unit are granted up to 80 hours of natal and adoption leave with pay for the birth or adoption of a child, however, use of the 80 paid hours does not extend any time charged under FMLA or CFRA. Any paid time required beyond this initial 80 hours must be charged to sick leave, vacation, compensatory or floating holiday time. Effective the first full pay period in July 2022, employees are eligible for an additional 40 hours of paid Natal and Adoption leave for a total of 120 hours. This is part of and does not add to leave time allowed by Federal or State leaves. B. Without Pay The City shall provide employees within the bargaining unit up to four months natal and adoption leave for the birth or adoption of a child including the paid leave as outlined above; such leave shall be pursuant to the provisions of the California Pregnancy Disability Act (“PDA”; California Government Code Section12945), if applicable. The City’s PDA policy is incorporated herein by reference. Employees on this leave of absence without pay beyond the four-month period will be responsible for the payment of medical, dental and optical premiums to keep the coverage in force during the leave of absence. SECTION 27: WORKERS COMPENSATION LEAVE Any employee within the bargaining unit covered herein who is receiving disability payments under the “Workers Compensation Act of California” for on-the-job injuries sustained while engaged in the performance of duties of any such City position, shall receive from the City during the first three months of such disability absence, payments in an amount equal to the difference between the disability payments received under Workers Compensation Act and employee’s full salary. Such payments by the City should be made without any deduction from accrued sick leave benefits. The City’s obligation for such payments shall commence on the first (1st) day of such disability absence. In the event the employee’s disability absence should exceed three months, an employee shall be allowed to supplement the Workers Compensation benefit received under State law with available accrued sick leave, accrued vacation leave or accrued compensatory time. The total number of leave hours, along with the Workers Compensation benefit, shall not Page 556 13 exceed the employee’s base pay for each day of the leave. For this purpose, accrued leave hours can only be used in one-hour increments. SECTION 28: MILITARY LEAVE Employees within the bargaining unit required to serve military leave will be compensated pursuant to the Military and Veterans Code. Finance may require military pay information in order to calculate a qualified employee’s pay. SECTION 29: MILITARY SERVICE BUY BACK Employees within the bargaining unit have the option for military service buyback at the employee’s expense. SECTION 30: OVERTIME A. Maintenance Bargaining Unit The City agrees that employees within the bargaining unit who are, due to health and safety reasons, sent home to rest and to be available to work additional hours as a result of a storm or impending emergency situation and are not subsequently recalled to work, will be compensated for the hours not worked in that shift, due to them having been sent home, to bring the total hours to 10 worked in that shift. Employees within the bargaining unit who are subsequently recalled to work the storm or emergency situation will work no more than 12 consecutive hours, due to health and safety reasons. Any hours worked in excess of 10 in that 12-hour shift will be paid at time and one-half, regardless of the total number of compensated hours for that week. Employees within the bargaining unit, who have already worked forty (40) hours in a work week, may request time off in order to avoid payment of overtime. It is at the discretion of the supervisor to approve that request. B. Overtime Calculation For the purpose of overtime calculations, Vacation Leave, Holiday leave, and Comp Time shall be considered hours worked. Overtime is compensated at 1.5 times the employee’s Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regular rate of pay. Only hours worked as defined here shall be considered for the purpose of calculating the FLSA overtime pay. SECTION 31: COMPENSATORY TIME Employees may choose to earn compensatory time (comp time or CTO) in lieu of payment for overtime, if approved by a supervisor, in accordance with the following provisions: 1. HHW/Used Oil Program Comp Time: A. Employees can request and be approved for comp time for work at the HHWF facility if they code their timecard to the appropriate HHWF account number (see Finance for directions). Comp time earned for working at the HHWF must be exhausted first as the employee uses comp time. Use of this HHWF comp time must also be properly Page 557 14 coded on the employee’s time card (see Finance for directions). The maximum amount of comp time that an employee may accrue pursuant to this section is 80 hours. Employees will be paid out by the last pay period in June for all HHWF comp time unused as of June 1 of each year; they will be paid out by the last pay period in December for all HHWF comp time unused as of December 1. No comp time pursuant to this section may be accrued in December of any calendar year. B. Employees working at the HHW and being paid out of the Used Oil Recycling Program overtime account can only receive overtime payments for that work. 2. All other Comp Time: An employee that works overtime between January 1 – November 30 of each calendar year may decide to accrue compensatory time off (CTO) at 1.5 times the number of overtime hours worked instead of receiving immediate payment for overtime worked. The maximum CTO that an employee may accrue is 150 hours. Once an employee reaches that accrual cap, all additional overtime worked in that calendar year shall be paid. Employees may use CTO as time off during the calendar year, subject to supervisor approval. Supervisors shall not unreasonably withhold approval for use of accrued CTO, and the need to replace the employee using CTO with another employee on overtime shall not be the basis for denying a requested use of CTO. Any CTO that is earned between January 1-November 30 of a calendar year that is not used as time off before November 30, minus any comp time the employee plans to use during the holiday closure dates in that same year, shall be cashed out with the last paycheck distributed in the calendar year. Overtime worked during December of a calendar year shall not be eligible for CTO. SECTION 32: ON-CALL PAY On-call assignments and requirements for employees assigned to being on call will be determined by the Department Head or designee(s). Employees within the bargaining unit required to be on- call shall be compensated at the rate of $275.00 per week. On-Call employees who field calls, dispatch other employees, or do other work directly related to being on call should report hours worked to the closest 1/4 hour on their timecard. SECTION 33: CALL BACK PAY (non-exempt) A. If an employee is required to be called back to work after completing his or her normal shift or after having left City premises or the employee’s work location, the employee shall be compensated at the appropriate rate for each hour worked on call back with a minimum of two (2) hours call back compensation at the appropriate rate, regardless of whether the employee actually works less than two (2) hours. This provision shall be applicable to employees although the employee’s regular work week is not completed but shall not apply to employees who are continuing on duty for their normal work shift. The time starts when the callback call is received by the employee. Employees must arrive at the worksite and perform the work required in order to receive call-back pay. B. When an employee is called on his/her day off or after hours for work purposes, the employee shall be compensated at the overtime rate or in comp time for the actual time worked, rounded to the nearest quarter hour (.25). Page 558 15 SECTION 34: ACTING PAY/OUT OF CLASS PAY Acting Pay/Out of Class Pay will take effect for Teamsters bargaining unit employees who assume responsibilities of a higher-level classification after 120 working hours at the higher-level classification within a 30 calendar day period.

There shall be no change in the current voucher method of funding these footwear items/accessories. The City may provide uniforms (including shirts) and/or maintenance of uniforms for all positions covered under this MOU. The City reports CalPERS on an annual basis, the actual value of compensation paid or the monetary value for the purchase, rental and/or maintenance of required clothing for Teamsters covered CalPERS’ Classic Members. The parties analyzed the value and determined it shall not exceed $710.00 per fiscal year. The parties agree that to the extent permitted by law, this is special compensation and shall be reported as such pursuant to Title 2CCR, Section 571(a)(5) Statutory Items. The parties also agree that the City has no additional obligation or costs should CalPERS, the State or the IRS determine otherwise. SECTION 38: TUITION REIMBURSEMENT FOR APPROVED COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY COURSES Reimbursements by the City of the following enumerated college and/or university course expenses shall not exceed two thousand three hundred dollars ($2,300.00) during any fiscal year. Eligibility for said reimbursement in an amount not to exceed $2,300.00 in any one fiscal year shall be contingent upon a determination by the employee’s department head or his designee that all the following conditions precedent exists: A. Expenses shall be incurred for coursework undertaken at a college or university that is licensed/accredited by one of the six regional accreditors involved in higher education accreditation in the United States. Page 559 16 B.

As regards each class for which reimbursement is sought (where an employee is simultaneously enrolled in multiple approved classes and does not receive a “C” or “pass” in any one or more of such classes, the amount of expenses subject to City’s reimbursement shall be reduced and/or as appropriate, pro-rated to reflect no reimbursement being made for expenses related to classes where the minimal grade was not received). C. Eligibility for reimbursement for said expenses shall be confined to either: 1) those courses that in and of themselves consist of curriculum which is predominately related to the development of skills reasonably anticipated by the City to enhance the applicant’s job performance (by means of a non-inclusive example only, art classes would not qualify for reimbursement); or 2) where the employee has declared a major that is job-related as set forth in this section C, to those classes which must be completed as a condition precedent to successful completion of the course of study in the selected major. D. Eligibility for reimbursement upon completion of coursework shall be predicated upon the employee’s department head or his designee, making a written determination prior to the affected employee’s enrollment in the course(s) for which reimbursement is later sought, that the coursework is offered by an accredited college or university and that the above- described job nexus does exist. The determination of the Department Head or his designee in such regards shall be final. E. The costs which shall be subject to reimbursement are limited to the following: 1) tuition; 2) books; 3) supplies; 4) parking; and 5) laboratory. In addition to all other conditions precedent to reimbursement set forth in this section, prior to reimbursement being approved, written receipts shall be provided to the Personnel Department and shall evidence each expenditure for which reimbursement is sought. SECTION 39: ENCOURAGING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Promotions are movements to a different classification with a higher pay range. Bargaining unit employees are encouraged to seek regular performance feedback from their direct supervisors and other Department leadership for professional development and in order to prepare to compete for future promotional opportunities. If a member applies for a promotion to a bargaining unit position and is not selected for an interview, or has an interview but is not selected for the job, the employee is encouraged to request feedback from their supervisor as to the reasons why they were not selected. The supervisor will work with other Department personnel and/or Human Resources to provide a response to the requesting employee within 30 days of the request. Bargaining unit employees are encouraged to register on the City’s employment portal to be informed of promotional opportunities by email, and to check their City email account regularly for information regarding promotional opportunities. Page 560 17 SECTION 40: RECOVERY OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COSTS The City may pay the cost of training and certificate programs, up to $10,000, for individual employees that are not required to maintain their positions, with the goal of providing additional development opportunities for employees. Employees can request that the City pay the cost of such training and certifications. The Department Director and/or Deputy City Manager, with the approval of the City Manager, may approve these requests, subject to budget availability. If an employee requests participation in a training or certificate program with a registration cost of $2,000 or more, the employee will be required to repay the cost of that training or certificate if they leave City employment within 4 years of the registration for that program. One-quarter of the amount owed is forgiven each year. The employee must sign an agreement indicating that any outstanding amount can be deducted from their final paycheck upon separation any outstanding amount is due at separation. This benefit does not pertain to professional conferences related to an employee’s ongoing continuous learning, which are routinely budgeted within a department’s budget. SECTION 41: REQUIRED CERTIFICATIONS AND RECERTIFICATIONS The City will pay for the cost of any required certifications or recertifications required of employees to maintain their positions. Required certifications must be outlined in an employee’s classification specification.

Matters Subject to Grievance Procedure An employee shall have the right to file a grievance concerning an alleged violation, misinterpretation or misapplication of City policy, City Personnel Rules and Regulations, and/or the Memorandum of Understanding.

Failure of the employee to take further action within eight (8) working days after receipt of the written decision of the supervisor, or within eight (8) working days if no decision is rendered, shall constitute a waiver of the grievance. 2. Department Review: The department head receiving the grievance of an employee or a designated representative shall discuss the grievance with the employee, the employee’s representative if so desired, and with other appropriate persons. The department head shall render a decision and comments in writing and return them to the employee within eight (8) working days after receiving the grievance. If the employee does not agree with the decision reached, or if no answer has been received within eight (8) working days, the employee may present the grievance in writing to the Personnel Officer. Failure of the employee to take further action within eight (8) working days after receipt of the department head’s written decision, or within eight (8) working days if no decision is rendered, shall constitute waiver of the grievance. 3. Personnel Officer: The Personnel Officer, or his/her designated representative, upon receipt of the grievance, shall discuss the grievance with the employee, and/or the employee’s designated representative, and with other appropriate persons. The Personnel Officer or designee shall render a decision in writing to the employee within eight (8) working days after receiving the grievance. The decision of the Personnel Officer shall be final.

The terms and conditions contained in this MOU are applicable to all full-time employees within this unit and contain the complete results of negotiations concerning wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment for said employees represented herein. ARTICLE I RECOGNITION Pursuant to the provisions of existing rules and regulations and applicable State law, District hereby acknowledges Association as the exclusive recognized employee organization for the representation unit, which includes all employees of District specified in Exhibit A attached hereto, who are employed on a full-time basis. ARTICLE II COMPENSATION §1. Salary Ranges A. Survey Cities (1) Association and District agree the survey cities shall be Pasadena, West Covina, Corona, Ontario, Riverside, and Chino Valley Fire. In the year prior to MOU expiration, a survey of the identified labor market cities will be completed, reviewed by the Association and District, and used as the comparison basis for any negotiations regarding market equity adjustment. (2) The Association and District have identified the following benchmark classifications to be surveyed: Administrative Assistant, Emergency Manager, Emergency Medical Services Administrator, Executive Assistant II, Fire Equipment Mechanic, Fire Prevention Specialist II, and Management Analyst I. (3) All classifications within the Fire Support Services Association (FSSA) are associated to a benchmark classification. Future classifications may align within an existing benchmark classification, or an additional benchmark classification may be proposed that will include future classifications as mutually agreed upon by the City and the FSSA. The associated classifications in relation to the benchmark classifications are outlined below. • Administrative Assistant • Emergency Manager: o Emergency Management Coordinator o Emergency Management Specialist • Emergency Medical Services Administrator: o Emergency Medical Services Quality Improvement Nurse • Executive Assistant II: o Executive Assistant • Fire Equipment Mechanic: o Fire Equipment Apprentice Mechanic o Fire Equipment Lead Mechanic o Fire Shop Supervisor o Maintenance Officer • Fire Prevention Specialist II o Fire Prevention Specialist I Page 582 6 Fire Support MOU 2025-2027 o Fire Plans Examiner o Fire Prevention Supervisor o Deputy Fire Marshal • Management Analyst I: o Management Aide o Management Analyst II o Management Analyst III o Community Outreach Specialist o Public Relations Officer The survey will look at monthly amounts and compare highest salary, medical (health, vision, dental) deferred compensation (paid and matching) RHS and VEBA (paid) and any additional CalPERS employee pickups above normal PEPRA rates. . §2. Salary Plan A. Equity Adjustment Effective the first full pay period in July 2025, an equity adjustment to the following classifications will be made: o 2% For Administrative Assistant o 8.9% for EMS Administrator and EMS Nurse o 2.5% for Executive Assistant II and Executive Assistant I o 3.5% For Fire Prevention Specialist II, Fire Prevention Specialist I, Fire Plans Examiner, Fire Prevention Supervisor, and Deputy Fire Marshal o 3.% For Management Analyst I, Management Analyst II, Management Analyst III, Management Aide, Community Outreach Specialist, and Public Relation Officer B. Cost of Living Adjustment Effective the first full pay period in July of 2025 all bargaining unit members shall receive a three and one-half (3.5%) percent cost of living salary adjustment. Effective the first full pay period in July of 2026 all bargaining unit members shall receive a two and one-half (2.5%) percent cost of living salary adjustment. C. Ranges The base salary ranges for all classes in the bargaining unit shall consist of ranges having six (6) steps, labeled A through F, with approximately five percent (5%) between each step. Advancement between steps requires a satisfactory or higher annual performance evaluation. However, no employee shall receive more than one step increase in a 12-month period unless granted for outstanding achievement pursuant to Section 2(G) below. Placement within the range shall be in accordance with the following: (1) Salary on Appointment New employees shall be compensated at Step "A" of the salary range to which their class is allocated. If unusual recruitment difficulties are encountered or a candidate is exceptionally well qualified, appointment at a higher step in the salary range may be authorized by the Fire Chief. Page 583 7 Fire Support MOU 2025-2027 (2) Merit Salary Adjustment Advancement within a salary range shall not be automatic but shall be based upon job performance and granted only on the recommendation of the employee's supervisor and approval of the Fire Chief. Employees shall be considered for merit salary increases in accordance with the following: a. Employees who are placed at Step A upon original employment, reinstatement, or promotion are eligible for a merit salary review after six (6) months of service. Subsequent consideration for merit salary adjustments shall be on a 12-month consecutive basis from the date of last merit salary adjustment. b. Employees who are placed at Step B or above upon original employment, reinstatement, or promotion shall be eligible for a merit salary review after six (6) months of service. Subsequent consideration for merit salary adjustments shall be on a 12-month consecutive basis from the date of last merit salary adjustment. c. The granting of an official leave of absence of more than thirty (30) continuous calendar days, other than military leave, shall cause the employee's merit salary review date to be extended the number of calendar days he or she was on leave. d. If, in the supervisor's judgment, the employee's performance does not justify a salary increase on the review date, the employee shall be reevaluated before the expiration of six (6) months dating from the employee's review date. If the period of postponement exceeds three (3) months and the employee receives a salary increase, the employee shall be assigned a new review date based on the date the increase was granted. e. Authorized salary step increases shall become effective at the beginning of the pay period nearest the employee's review date. f. Should an employee's review date be overlooked, and upon discovery of the error, the employee is recommended for a salary increase, the employee shall receive a supplemental payment compensating him or her for the additional salary he or she would have received had the increase been granted at the appropriate time. g. The normal merit salary increase shall be one (1) step granted in accordance with the preceding. However, to reward outstanding achievement and performance, the Fire Chief may grant one (1) additional step increase not to exceed one (1) step in any six (6) month period. h. In order to address a situation wherein application of this section would result in the inequitable treatment of employees and upon the recommendation of the Fire Chief and approval of the Board, an employee may be placed at any step in the salary range for his or her class. Page 584 8 Fire Support MOU 2025-2027 (3) Salary on Promotion An employee, who is promoted to a position in a class with a higher salary range than the class in which he or she formerly occupied a position, shall receive the nearest higher monthly salary in the higher salary range that would constitute a minimum five percent (5%) salary increase over his or her base salary rate, provided that no employee may receive a rate in excess of Step F of the promotional class. If the promotion occurs within sixty (60) days of a scheduled merit salary review date, the employee shall receive the merit increase (if otherwise entitled to it) and the promotional increase concurrently. The employee shall be given a new merit salary review date for purposes of future salary step advancement. The new date shall be based upon the effective date of the promotion. (4) Salary on Demotion An employee who is demoted to a position in a class with a lower salary range shall receive a new merit salary review date based upon the effective date of the demotion and receive a salary in accordance with the following: a. Disciplinary demotion - any designated salary step in the lower salary range which will result in the employee's receiving at least a five percent (5%) reduction in pay. b. Non-disciplinary demotion - that salary step he or she would have received in the lower class if his or her services had been continuous in said lower class. (5) Salary on Transfer An employee who is transferred from one position to -another in the same class or to another position in a similar class having the same salary range shall receive the same step in the salary range previously received and the merit salary review date shall not change. (6) Salary on Position Reclassification When an employee's position is reclassified and the employee is appointed to the position, salary shall be determined as follows: a. If the position is reclassified to a class with a higher salary range than the former class, salary and merit salary review date shall be set in the same manner as if he or she had been promoted. b. If the salary of the employee is the same or less than the maximum of the salary range of the new class and the salary range of the new class is the same as the previous class, the salary and merit salary review date shall not change. c. If the salary of the employee is greater than the maximum of the range of the new class, the salary of the employee shall be designated as a Y-rate and shall not change during continuous regular service until the maximum of the salary range to which the class is assigned exceeds the salary of Page 585 9 Fire Support MOU 2025-2027 the employee. (7) Salary on Re-employment An employee recalled after a layoff shall receive the same salary step in the range of the class which he or she was receiving upon layoff. (8) Salary on Rehire Upon rehire, an employee shall be placed at such salary step as may be recommended by the supervisor and approved by the Fire Chief. The employee's merit salary review date shall be based on the date of rehire. (9) Acting Pay Acting pay shall be one (1) step, approximately five percent (5%), above the affected employee's base salary rate. When the work schedule or assigned duties are extremely different, the Fire Chief may approve acting pay which is greater than 5%. To receive acting pay the employee must: a. Be formally assigned duties appropriate to the higher class. b. Work in the higher class at least fifteen (15) consecutive work days, five (5) shifts for employees working twenty-four (24) hour shifts. Acting pay will be paid beginning with the sixteenth (16th) consecutive day worked in an acting capacity, sixth (6th) shift for employees working twenty-four (24) hour shifts. c. In any instance where it is reasonably anticipated at the commencement of the acting assignment that the assignment is likely to extend beyond fifteen (15) consecutive work days or five (5) shifts, the described five percent (5%) acting pay shall commence being earned from the first day/shift of the acting assignment. (10) Salary on Change in Range Assignment When a class is reassigned to either a higher or lower salary range by the Board, the salary of each incumbent in such class on the date the reassignment is effective shall be adjusted to the step he or she was receiving in the former range. D. On-Call Pay All the employees that can provide mechanic services for the Fire Equipment shall, be part of the On-Call rotation as outlined below, unless relieved of such duty by a supervisor. Being on-call means that an employee is required to promptly return to work after being called and be fit for duty and able to respond. Employees on standby are not permitted to drink alcohol or use any substance that will affect their ability to return to work. Being on-call does not constitute hours worked since employees are off-duty and permitted to engage in personal pursuits. However, since employees on standby are waiting to be engaged to work, the parties agree that employees are entitled to compensation as provided in this Section. Employees on-call are required to respond to a phone call as quickly as possible, generally within a few minutes. Upon responding, the employee will be instructed as to whether they are required to return to work (it is possible that the issue Page 586 10 Fire Support MOU 2025-2027 could be resolved by talking to the employee on the phone or using a computer to resolve the issue) and if so, will be informed of the location to which they must respond. Response time will generally be 60 minutes or the employee’s normal commute time and any additional minimal time necessary to get ready to return to work, whichever is greater. While on-call, employees will be provided with a District vehicle. Employees who call in sick for a day while on standby shall not receive standby pay for the day if they are unable to respond to a call for service. Employees will be eligible to receive standby pay on a day they call in sick if at the time they call in, they notify their supervisor that they are able to respond to calls for service after regular scheduled hours. An employee on-call may exchange on-call duties with another employee eligible to receive on-call pay, subject to the approval of the immediate supervisor. To provide flexibility to the affected employees in order that an individual employee can conduct personal business other than during scheduled hours of work, the District shall at its expense, provide each affected employee with a cell phone and/or other means of communication whereby the necessity to respond to the work site(s) can be communicated to the affected employee. Each affected employee shall be required to maintain such communication device in a functioning status and shall carry such device in such manner that District-initiated communications shall be received when transmitted. It is the goal of the District to provide for an on-call rotation among affected employees, resulting in a requirement that each affected employee be in an on-call status for not more than seven (7) consecutive calendar days without relief of such status for at least seven (7) consecutive calendar days. However, the parties recognize that needs of the District, injury, illness or other events may result in a District requirement that any given affected employee be maintained in an on-call status for greater than a seven (7) consecutive calendar day period. Each affected employee in a designated on-call status for seven (7) consecutive calendar days, shall receive additional compensation in the amount of four hundred ($400) dollars for each seven (7) calendar day period of time in an on-call mode. Employees in an on- call status for less than seven (7) consecutive days would receive additional compensation of $57.14 per day that they are on call. E. Bilingual Pay Employees who qualify for bi-lingual pay will be provided said pay at $75 per month. Eligibility exams will be provided and administered by the Human Resources Department. Bi-lingual pay applies to the top 5 recognized languages from the most recent Census. F.

Purpose This article is intended to provide a fair and orderly procedure for the resolution of employee grievances. A grievance is a claimed violation, misinterpretation, misapplication, or noncompliance with existing District codes, resolutions, written rules, policies, procedures, orders, and regulations, or this document. This grievance procedure shall not apply to disciplinary matters or to reviews of performance evaluation reports or to discharge of probationary employees. Disciplinary matters include all warnings, written reprimands, suspensions, reductions in pay which are not the result of transfer or reassignment, demotions, dismissal or any other action which consists of a taking of property as said term is defined by the courts in the disciplinary context. (Reassignments and/or transfers that result in a loss of compensation shall not be deemed to be disciplinary actions). Page 603 27 Fire Support MOU 2025-2027 §2. Objectives The grievance procedure is established to accomplish the following objectives: A. To settle disagreements at the employee-supervisor level, informally if possible. B. To provide an orderly procedure to handle grievances. C. To resolve grievances as quickly as possible. D. To correct, if possible, the cause of grievances to prevent future similar complaints. E. To provide for a two-way system of communication by making it possible for levels of supervision to address problems, complaints, and questions raised by employees. F. To reduce the number of grievances by allowing them to be expressed and thereby adjusted and eliminated. G. To promote harmonious relations generally among employees, their supervisors, and the administrative staff. H. To assure fair and equitable treatment of all employees. §3. General Provisions A. Preparation of a grievance will be accomplished in such a manner and at a time that will not interfere with normally required work procedures. B. The Board of Directors or its individual members shall not be approached by employees or their representatives at any time that the grievance is being processed. C. Failure of the grievant to comply with time limitations specified in the grievance procedure shall constitute a withdrawal of the grievance, except upon a showing of good cause for such failure. Failure of District supervisory or administrative staff to comply with specified time limitations shall permit the grievant to proceed to the next step in the procedure. EXCEPTION: Notwithstanding the above, an extension of time is permitted with the mutual consent of both parties. D. In the event a grievant elects to represent himself or herself or is represented by counsel other than that provided by the employee organization, the employee organization shall be apprised of the nature and resolution of the grievance if the issues involved are within the scope of said organization's representation rights. E. If an individual named in a dispute is unavailable within the time period specified in these procedures, time limitations can be extended by mutual agreement of the representatives of the respective parties. F. Any period of time specified in this rule for the giving of notice or taking of any action exclude weekends and holidays. G. Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, the term "days" shall mean Page 604 28 Fire Support MOU 2025-2027 business days of the District's Administrative offices. H. An arbitrator shall not have authority to determine if a matter is within the definition of a "grievance" and/or is timely filed or otherwise administratively prosecuted on a timely basis. §4. Informal Grievance Procedure Most problems or complaints can be settled if the employee will promptly, informally and amicably discuss them with his or her immediate supervisor. Such an initial discussion shall precede any use of the formal grievance procedure. If the immediate supervisor fails to reply to the employee within ten (10) days, or the employee is not satisfied with the decision, the employee may utilize the Formal Grievance Procedure. Although invocation of the Informal Grievance Procedure does not mandate submission of the grievance in writing, the immediate supervisor shall document the substance of the informal grievance meeting. Failure by the employee to advise the immediate supervisor of the grievable problem or complaint within seven (7) days of the date that the employee knew or should reasonably have known of the existence of the problem or complaint, shall constitute a waiver by the employee of the ability to utilize the grievance procedure. §5. Formal Grievance Procedure A. Step I The employee and/or representative shall present the grievance, in writing and signed, to his or her immediate supervisor within fifteen (15) days of the date that the employee knew or reasonably should have known of the events giving rise to the grievance. An official grievance form must be used stating names, dates, times, place, and nature of grievance, explaining how the grievance fits within the definition of "grievance" as set forth in § 1, above. The employee's supervisor shall attempt to resolve the grievance with the employee and shall submit his or her decision in writing to the employee within ten (10) days after receipt of the grievance. The employee shall have the right to appeal the decision of the supervisor to the Fire Chief. B. Step II (1) If the grievance is not resolved to the satisfaction of the employee, the grievant has seven (7) days following receipt of the written response from his or her supervisor to file a written appeal to the Fire Chief or designated representative. (2) Written appeal to the Fire Chief or designated representative shall consist of the statement of the grievance and shall include a statement by the grievant's representative setting forth the reasons why the response of the employee's supervisor did not satisfactorily resolve the grievance and an indication of the action desired by the grievant. The written appeal shall explain why the grievance fits within the definition of "grievance" as set forth in §1, above. (3) After submission of the written appeal, the Fire Chief or designee shall reply within three (3) days, in writing, to the grievant regarding the grievance. In event of rejection, reasons for so doing will be included in the response. C. Step III (1) If the grievance is not resolved to the satisfaction of the employee, the grievant Page 605 29 Fire Support MOU 2025-2027 has seven (7) days following receipt of the written response from the Fire Chief or designee to file a written appeal to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the District. The CEO may designate a representative to act in his or her stead. (2) Written appeal to the CEO or designated representative shall consist of the statement of the grievance and shall include a statement by the grievant's representative setting forth the reasons why the response of the Fire Chief or designee did not satisfactorily resolve the grievance, and an indication of the action desired by the grievant. The written appeal shall explain why the grievance fits within the definition of "grievance" as set forth in §1 above. (3) After submission of the written appeal, the CEO or designee shall reply in writing within fifteen (15) days, to the grievant regarding the grievance. The reasons for the decision will be included in the response. (4) Section 1 - PURPOSE defines a grievance as a claimed violation, misinterpretation, misapplication or noncompliance with existing District codes, resolutions, written rules, policies, procedures, orders and regulations, or this document. The decision by the CEO or designee shall address whether or not the complaint of the employee is grievable pursuant to the grievance definition set forth in § 1 above and/or is timely filed or otherwise administratively prosecuted in a timely basis. In the event that the CEO or designee determines that the employee's complaint is not defined by § 1 above as a grievance and/or is not timely filed or otherwise administratively prosecuted in a timely basis, the CEO or designee shall advise the employee that the complaint is not grievable and the grievance shall proceed no further unless or until on application by the employee, a judgment is entered at the trial court level, indicative of the complaint being jurisdictionally grievable pursuant to the definitions set forth in § 1 above and/or pursuant to requirements of timeliness. D. Step IV (1) If a grievance is not resolved by the CEO or designee and is deemed "grievable" pursuant to these rules and regulations, (a defined grievance and/or timely) then within seven (7) days of service by the CEO or designee of a grievance decision, the employee may further appeal the matter by filing with the office of the CEO or his/her designee a written appeal to binding arbitration. Said appeal shall be timely only if it is received in the office of the CEO or designee not later than seven (7) days after service of the grievable decision by the CEO or designee. (2) The employee's appeal shall state with specificity the identification of the District Codes, resolutions, written rules or regulations or sections of this document which is claimed to have been violated. The appeal shall additionally state with specificity all allegations of facts upon which the grievance is based, and the specific relief sought. (3) Within ten (10) days after receipt of a valid appeal, the CEO or his/her designee shall request of the California State Conciliation and Mediation Service, that it submit a list of seven (7) arbitrators for hearing of the grievance. The CEO or designee shall direct that a copy of the list of arbitrators be sent to the employee Page 606 30 Fire Support MOU 2025-2027 and to the CEO or designee, as well. (4) Absent mutual selection of an arbitrator from either the submitted list or otherwise, the arbitrator shall be chosen by an initial flip of the coin, with the prevailing employee or CEO/designee having the option of making the first strike or directing that the opposing party make the first strike. Following alternate striking, the one remaining arbitration candidate shall be deemed the appointed arbitrator. (5) The arbitrator shall conduct the hearing at a time and place mutually agreed upon by the parties. (6) The hearing shall be memorialized by use of a certified shorthand reporter. The shorthand reporter shall be selected by the employee. (7) All fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne equally by the parties. (8) All fees and expenses related to the securing of a representative and/or legal counsel, the preparation of transcripts, witness fees and other expenses attendant to the presentation of evidence, shall be borne by the party at whose direction said expense is incurred. (9) The per diem fee of the shorthand reporter shall be borne equally by the parties. The cost of transcription shall be borne by the party ordering the transcript. (10) Neither the Federal nor California State Rules of Evidence shall be binding upon evidentiary issues at the hearing. However, such authorities may be considered by the arbitrator in rendering evidentiary rulings. Further, the California Administrative Procedure Act shall specifically be of no application to the hearing process. (11) Although the Rules of Evidence shall not be strictly adhered to, hearsay that would be inadmissible in a civil or criminal proceeding cannot in and of itself support a finding by the arbitrator without corroboration. In general, the arbitrator shall admit evidence which is of such reliability that reasonable persons rely upon it in the conduct of serious matters such as the hearing. (12) The burdens of proof and production of evidence shall be borne by the employee and shall be by a preponderance of the evidence. (13) Not later than ten (10) days prior to the date of commencement of the hearing, the parties shall exchange lists of witnesses each intends to call at the hearing, and a list of documents it intends to introduce at the hearing. Said documents shall be attached to the notifications provided for herein, and the notifications shall actually be in receipt of the opposing party on or before the tenth (10th) day prior to commencement of the hearing. Failure to comply with said requirements shall result in exclusion of witness testimony and/or rejection of exhibits not designated in the submissions. (14) The arbitrator shall be empowered to issue subpoenas for the production of Page 607 31 Fire Support MOU 2025-2027 persons and documents. The arbitrator shall designate the subpoena form to be utilized in such case. The California Code of Civil Procedure, the Evidence Code and other applicable statutes shall apply to the validity and processing of subpoenas and to the method of service of the same. (15) Not later than thirty (30) days after closure of the record, the arbitrator shall render a binding opinion regarding the issues at dispute, and shall submit the binding opinion to the employee, Fire Chief, and the Chief Executive Officer of the District. (16) The conduct of the arbitration proceedings shall be governed by this MOU, and not by CCP § 1280 et seq. ARTICLE V DISCIPLINARY APPEAL §1. Purpose This article is intended to provide a fair, orderly, and due process compliant procedure whereby employees can seek review of disciplinary actions. Disciplinary actions shall be defined as: 1) oral warning, 2) written reprimand, 3) suspension without pay, 4) reduction in pay which is not the result of transfer or reassignment, 5) demotion, 6) dismissal. Transfers or reassignments resulting in a reduction in bonus or related compensation shall not be considered disciplinary action and shall not be subject to review pursuant to either this MOU or any other District rules, policies and regulations. Further, oral warnings and written reprimands shall not be subject to appeal beyond the level of the Fire Chief or designee as set forth below. Performance evaluation reports and/or the discharge of probationary employees shall not be subject to review pursuant to this Article. §2. General Provisions A. Preparation of an appeal will be accomplished in such a manner and at a time that will not interfere with normally required work procedures. B. The Board of Directors or its individual members shall not be approached by employees or their representatives at any time that the appeal is being processed. C. Failure of the appellant to comply with time limitations specified in the appeal procedure shall constitute a withdrawal of the appeal, except upon a showing of good cause for such failure. Failure of District supervisory or administrative staff to comply with specified time limitations shall permit the appellant to proceed to the next step in the procedure. EXCEPTION: Notwithstanding the above, an extension of time is permitted with the mutual consent of both parties. D. Any period of time specified in this rule for the giving of notice or taking of any action excludes weekends and holidays. E. Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, the term "days" shall mean business days of the District's Administrative offices. Page 608 32 Fire Support MOU 2025-2027 F. Neither a hearing officer nor the CEO shall have authority to determine if a matter is within the definition of a disciplinable appeal and/or is timely filed or otherwise administratively prosecuted in a timely manner. §3. Pre-Disciplinary Notice A. Unless In those instances where a supervisor intends that a disciplinary action consisting of the loss of property (suspension, reduction, demotion or dismissal), the supervisor intending to issue said recommendation shall provide the affected employee with a written notice prior to imposition of any such disciplinary action. Said written notice shall at a minimum, consist of the following: (1) A statement of the disciplinary action that is being proposed. (2) The proposed date of imposition of said action. (3) A statement of the basis for said proposed action. (4) The Notice shall include as attachments, the materials upon which the proposed action is based (with the exception of the employee's personnel file, which need not be attached to the Notice).

Rather, the purpose of the meeting is for the subject employee to provide the Fire Chief or designee with an informal rebuttal to the findings and conclusions set forth by the Fire Chief or designee. E. If the employee does not elect to participate in a pre-disciplinary review meeting, then the Fire Chief or designee shall issue a Notice of Disciplinary Determination based upon a review of the Notice of Intended Disciplinary Action and the materials incorporated therein.

Regardless of whether or not the Notice Intended Disciplinary Action is issued by the Chief or a designee, the Chief shall preside over any timely requested pre disciplinary review proceeding and shall issue a determination either rejecting, modifying or sustaining the nature of the proposed action. However, the pre- disciplinary review proceeding shall not result in an increase in the severity of the proposed action without an amended Notice of Intended Action being first drafted and served and which so reflects the Fire Chief’s recommendation. G. The Fire Chief shall cause the Notice of his/her post-review determination to be served upon the employee and/or the employee's representative. H.

L. Although the Rules of Evidence shall not be strictly adhered to, hearsay that would be inadmissible in a civil or criminal proceeding cannot in and of itself support a finding by the hearing officer without corroboration. In general, the hearing officer shall admit evidence which is of such reliability that reasonable persons rely upon it in the conduct of serious matters such as the hearing. M. The burdens of proof and production of evidence shall be borne by the Fire Chief. The standard of proof shall be by a preponderance of the evidence. N.

APN: 0209-211-68, -69 The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows: SECTION 1. Recitals. A.The City of Rancho Cucamonga (the “City”) is proposing to update the official Zoning Map to address zone changes for the properties located on property addressed 9720 and 9750 7th Street, APNs: 0209-211-68 and 0209-211-69, generally located on the northeastern corner of Archibald Avenue and 7th Street. . B.The City has prepared Zoning Map Amendment DRC2025-00044, as described in the title of this Ordinance, to implement the zone changes. Hereinafter in this Ordinance, the subject Zoning Map Amendment is referred to as the “application” or “Amendment.” C.The City is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California. D.The project site consists of two parcels with a combined size of approximately 2.16 acres, which are improved with two existing industrial warehouse buildings with a combined total square footage of 42,050 square feet. E.This amendment changes the zoning designation of the subject parcels from Center 1 – Southwest Cucamonga (CE1-SWC) to Neo-Industrial (NI). F.On April 9, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed continued public hearing with respect to the amendment and, following the conclusion thereof, adopted Resolution No. 25-10 recommending that the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopt said amendments. G.On May 21, 2025, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the amendment and concluded said hearing on that date. H.All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred. ATTACHMENT 1 Page 620 2 SECTION 2. Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows: A. Recitals. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts s et forth in the Recitals, Section 1, of this Ordinance are true and correct. B. Findings. 1) Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-referenced public hearing, this Council hereby finds and concludes that the proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs. The existing General Plan Land Use Map designation for the subject parcels is Neo-Industrial Employment. The subject parcels were rezoned in error to Center 1 - Southwest Cucamonga (CE1-SWC) as part of a previous ordinance (Ordinance 1023) approved in 2024. Prior to the passage of Ordinance 1023, the subject parcels were zoned Neo-Industrial (NI), consistent with the existing General Plan Land Use Map designation. Thus, the proposed amendment will correct a discrepancy between the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning Map. 2) The Zoning Map Amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The amendment will only revert the subject parcels to a previous zoning designation to be consistent with the underlying General Plan land use designation. Further, the action does not include any additional development of the site and all existing buildings will remain in their existing condition, thus the Zoning Map Amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, nor will it be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3) The Amendment identified herein has been processed, including, but not limited to, public notice, in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law, including the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). C. CEQA. The City finds that the Project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b) (3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The applicat ion is for a Zoning Map Amendment only, with no new physical development associated with the proposed amendment. Further, the zone changes are intended to ensure consistency with the General Plan, thus no change in the baseline environmental conditions bec ause the General Plan is the highest authority of land use planning within the City. Therefore, the application will not have any specific impacts on the environment. D. Determination on Zoning Map Amendment DRC2025-0044. Based on the findings set forth in this Ordinance and the totality of the administrative record before it, the City Council hereby approves Zoning Map Amendment DRC2025-0044 as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference . Page 621 3 E. Zoning Map Amendment. The City Council hereby amends the official Zoning Map reflecting the amendments set forth in Exhibit A. F. Severability. The City Council declares that, should any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance for any reason is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereo f, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional. G. Enforcement. Neither the adoption of this Ordinance nor the repeal of any other Ordinance of this City shall in any manner affect the prosecution for violations of ordinances, which violations were committed prior to the effective date hereof, nor be construed as a waiver of any penalty or the penal provisions applicable to any violation thereof. H. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be in full force and effective thirty (30) days after its adoption, and shall be published or posted as required by law. I. Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause it to be published in the manner required by law. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 21ST DAY OF MAY, 2025. CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA BY: L. Dennis Michael, Mayor I, Kim Sevy, City Clerk of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing Ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council h eld on the 21st day of May, 2025, by the following vote-to-wit: AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Page 622 4 NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: ATTEST: City Clerk of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 623 5 Exhibit A: Amended Zoning Map Page 624 DATE:June 4, 2025 TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council President and Members of the Board of Directors FROM:John R.

FD 059 AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES, ESTABLISHING THE WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE FIRE AREA, AND MAKING CERTAIN AMENDMENTS TO DEFENSIBLE SPACE REQUIREMENTS The Board of Directors of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (District) hereby ordains as follows: SECTION 1. Establishment of Fire Hazard Severity Zones and Designation of the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area. A.In accordance with Government Code Section 51178, the State Fire Marshal has identified Fire Hazard Severity Zones within the Fire District's jurisdiction and has notified the Fire District of such Zones. B.The Fire Hazard Severity Zones recommended by the State Fire Marshal were received by the Fire District on March 24, 2025 and in accordance with Government Code Section 51178.5 within 30 days after receiving the Fire Hazard Severity Zones as recommended by the State Fire Marshal, the Fire District made the information available for public review and comment and presented the information in a format that was understandable and accessible to the general public including, but not limited to, maps. C.Pursuant to Government Code Section 51179(a), the Fire District is required to designate, by ordinance, Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in its jurisdiction, within 120 days of receiving recommendations from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Government Code Section 51178. D.The map of Fire Hazard Severity Zones designated by the Fire District is hereby attached as Exhibit A, incorporated by this reference, and entitled: the Rancho Cucamonga Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area dated 2025. E.The District's Board of Directors hereby designates as Fire Hazard Severity Zones, all areas identified by the State Fire Marshal as Fire Hazard Severity Zones within the District's jurisdiction. F.In order to more fully protect the public health, safety, and welfare, any parcel with more than one Fire Hazard Severity Zone designation, as identified by the State Fire Marshal, shall be classified to the highest Fire Hazard Severity Zone designation assigned to the parcel, in its entirety and with all Fire Safe Regulations contained within Title 14, California Code of Regulations, commencing at Section 1270, applicable to such designation. The District’s Board of Directors finds that adoption of the requirements of this Subsection F is necessary in order to provide effective fire protection since the State Fire Marshal’s fire zone maps generally do not follow parcel boundaries. SECTION 2. Map Adoption. The District's Board of Directors hereby adopts as the official map of the Rancho Cucamonga ATTACHMENT 1 Page 626 Ordinance No. FD 059 3 5 6 8 7 Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area, the Rancho Cucamonga Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area Map dated 2025, effective January 1, 2026, and on file in the office of the Secretary of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District. SECTION 3. Fire Protection and Prevention Notwithstanding the provisions of Government Code Section 51182(a)(1), and as permitted by Government Code Section 51182(a)(1)(B), the Fire District shall be authorized to increase the required 100 foot defensible space on a case by case basis, whenever deemed necessary by the Chief or designee to provide comparable fuel reduction, modification, and/or management defense to wildfire when fire behavior models applicable to Fire Hazard Severity Zones within the Fire District's jurisdiction establish such need. The Fire District's Board of Directors hereby finds and determines that requiring such additional defensible space, based on specific circumstances, is necessary to significantly reduce the risk of transmission of flame or heat sufficient to ignite nearby structures, and that there are no other feasible mitigation measures possible to reduce the risk of such ignition or spread of wildfire. The Board further finds that requiring such additional defensible space is made necessary as a result of unusually high wind speeds in the District's jurisdiction. SECTION 4. Prior Maps Superseded. Any and all provisions in any previously adopted District ordinances designating Fire Severity Zones within the District’s jurisdiction, are superseded by the provisions of this Ordinance. SECTION 5. Successor Provisions. It is the intent of the District's Board of Directors that in the event any of the California statutes or regulations referenced in this Ordinance are renumbered or recodified, any successor statutes and/or regulations containing substantially the same requirements as the predecessor statutes and regulations, shall fully apply as though set forth herein, and the same shall be read to the extent necessary to give full meaning and effect to this Ordinance, to the maximum extent permitted by law. SECTION 6. Certification. The Secretary of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance. Furthermore, in accordance with Government Code Section 51179(g), the Secretary shall post a notice at the office of the county recorder, county assessor and county planning agency, identifying the location of the map provided by the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Government Code Section 51178, as may be amended by the District.

AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAINED: ATTEST: Page 628 DATE:June 4, 2025 TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager INITIATED BY:Jason C. Welday, Director of Engineering Services/ City Engineer Alberto Felix, Traffic Engineer SUBJECT:Consideration of First Reading of Ordinance No. 1042, to be Read by Title Only and Waive Further Reading, Amending Section 10.20.010 and Deleting Section 10.20.020 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Regarding Declared Prima Facie Speed Limits on Non-Local Streets. (ORDINANCE NO. 1042) (CITY) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council conduct first reading of Ordinance No. 1042, to be read by title only, amending Section 10.20.010 and deleting Section 10.20.020 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code regarding Declared Prima Facie Speed Limits on Non-Local Streets. BACKGROUND: Speed limits along most of the roadways in any city are established by an Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) conducted in compliance with the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and supported by the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) 2014 Edition, Revision eight (8). Depending on the type of enforcement needed and on road condition changes, the CVC requires engineering and traffic surveys be completed at least every five (5), seven (7) or fourteen (14) years to support enforcement of the prima facie speed limits. Per the CVC, prima facie speed limits refer to the default speed limit unless the street is posted with a different speed limit. Under CVC 22352, the prima facie speed limit of 25 mph applies to businesses, residential areas, and school zones and may not be altered by a local jurisdiction. Under CVC 22358, prima facie is 65 mph or 55 mph, except under certain situations such as school zones or at rail crossings, however, local jurisdictions can declare a lower prima facie speed limit on local roads by ordinance or resolution when an engineering and traffic survey shows that the prima facie speed limit is not applicable for the existing conditions on the local road. Assembly Bill 43 (AB 43) was passed in 2021 and amended some sections of the CVC related to speed limits, including extending the period that a speed limit is justified by an E&TS to fourteen (14) years, consideration of pedestrians when conducting an E&TS, and allowing local authorities to reduce speed limits if “after completing and engineering and traffic survey”, the local authority finds that the speed limit is more than reasonable and safe per the existing road conditions. While this legislation provided additional tools for Cities as they set speed limits, it still requires establishing based on prescribed methodologies as described above. Page 629 Page 2 2 8 4 4 In a review of citywide speed limits completed in early 2024, staff noted a number of streets in the city that had outdated engineering and traffic surveys. With the passing of AB43, in order to build an up-to-date and comprehensive database and tracking system, staff determined that a complete citywide speed limit update was necessary. Having updated and valid engineering and traffic surveys allows police officers to enforce the posted speed limits using radar and lidar, one of the key tools in maintaining a safer driving environment. Setting proper speed limits also affects traffic flow and is important when creating timing programs for signalized intersections. In addition, proper speed limits are important for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users. The comprehensive update also allows staff to better manage when engineering and traffic surveys are approaching expiration to plan accordingly for re-surveying. ANALYSIS: In the Fall of 2024, the city hired HR Green, a traffic engineering consultant, to review the E&TS for all the streets within the city. The consultant reviewed three hundred and five (305) street segments and determined that engineering and traffic surveys for two hundred and thirty-five (235) of the segments could be extended to fourteen (14) years from the date of the last performed survey, per the guidelines set in AB 43. The consultant conducted new E&TS for the remaining seventy (70) street segments. Of the seventy (70) new surveys conducted, it was recommended that sixty-two (62) street segments be maintained at the existing posted speed limit, and that eight (8) segments be modified from their current posted speed limit to be properly enforced. The changes for the eight (8) segments are summarized in the following table, and include seven (7) segments where speeds are proposed to be lowered and one (1) segment where speed is proposed to be raised: Segment From To Existing Speed Limit (mph) New Declared Speed Limit (mph) Banyan Street West End Sapphire Street 40 30 Church Street Haven Avenue Terra Vista Parkway (West)45 40 Church Street Terra Vista Parkway (West)Elm Avenue (West)45 40 Church Street Elm Avenue (West)Spruce Avenue 45 40 Church Street Spruce Avenue Elm Avenue (East)45 40 Foothill Boulevard Etiwanda Avenue East Avenue 55 50 Spruce Avenue Foothill Boulevard Elm Avenue 40 35 Victoria Street Ramona Avenue Hermosa Avenue 30 35 When compiling the changes and upon further review of the City’s Municipal Code Chapter 10.20 “Special Speed Zone”, it was determined that an update to the Municipal Code was necessary to provide a clearly defined list of speeds on all road segments under one section of the code versus providing two separate sections with the city’s posted speed limits. It is recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance including changes to speeds along the street segments listed above. All other street segment speeds in the ordinance shall remain as currently posted. Page 630 Page 3 2 8 4 4 FISCAL IMPACT: Fiscal impact is expected to be minimal and will include installation of new speed limit signs and removal of pavement markings along the eight street segments proposed for change. The cost for this work is expected to be minimal and will be absorbed within current operating budgets. COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED: This item addresses the City Council’s Core Values of promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all.

Questions? DATE:June 4, 2025 TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager INITIATED BY:Jennifer Nakamura, CNU-A, Planning Director Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner SUBJECT:Public Hearing for Consideration of an Appeal of the Planning Commission’s Decision to Approve a Design Review and Conditional Use Permit – Goree Architects for Cal Box - A Request for Site Plan and Architectural Review of a 45,993 Square Foot Addition to an Existing 98,406 Square Foot Industrial Building and a Conditional Use Permit to Operate a Manufacturing Use within Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) Zone, at 8949 Toronto Avenue; APN: 0209-401-05. The Project Qualifies as a Class 32 Exemption Under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 – Infill Development Projects. The Project also Qualifies as a Class 1 Exemption Under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities (Design Review DRC2023-00379 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2024-00288). (RESOLUTION NOS. 2025-020 AND 2025-021) (CITY) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council deny appeal DRC2025-00107 and uphold the Planning Commission’s April 23, 2025, approval of the Cal Box II Warehouse Expansion Project, including Design Review DRC2023-00379 and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) DRC2024-00288. BACKGROUND: On April 23, 2025, the Planning Commission approved Design Review DRC2023-00379 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2024-00288 for the Cal Box II Warehouse Expansion Project, located at 8949 Toronto Avenue (APN: 0209-401-05). The approved Project includes a 45,993-square- foot addition to an existing 98,406-square-foot industrial building. In addition, the Conditional Use Permit authorizes the continued operation of the existing manufacturing use on the site. Prior to the hearing, a comment letter dated April 21, 2025, was submitted by the law firm Lozeau Drury on behalf of the Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (SAFER). The letter was distributed to the Planning Commission ahead of the meeting for their consideration. After reviewing the staff report, staff’s presentation of the project which addressed the comments submitted by Lozeau Drury, public comment, and submitted rebuttal materials, the Planning Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to approve the Project. On April 30, 2025, SAFER filed a timely appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision. The appeal challenges the City’s reliance on CEQA exemptions for the Project, asserting that an initial Page 646 Page 2 2 8 4 6 study and preparation of a mitigated negative declaration (MND) or environmental impact report (EIR) are required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). ANALYSIS: SAFER’s appeal argues that use of the CEQA Class 32 and Class 1 Exemptions is improper because (i) the Project will have cumulatively significant air quality impacts, which precludes reliance on the Class 32 (Infill Development Projects) Exemption, and (ii) the Project does not consist of a “minor alteration” and therefore exceeds the scope of a Class 1 (Existing Facilities) Exemption. With respect to the Class 32 Exemption, SAFER asserts that the Project could have potentially significant cumulative impact on air quality, given its location in a census tract with high existing pollution burdens, and anticipated use of diesel trucks during construction. With respect to the Class 1 Exemption, SAFER asserts that the scale of the proposed building addition exceeds the scope of what is permitted under the CEQA Guidelines. The following analysis addresses each exemption and explains why staff finds the CEQA review to be appropriate and legally supported. As a preliminary matter, lead agencies may apply multiple exemptions to a single project under CEQA review. The project will be exempt from further review under CEQA so long as the combined effect of the exemptions places the project as a whole outside the purview of CEQA. Here, the City applies separate CEQA Exemptions for two different components of the Project, which, in combination, exempt the entire Project from further review. Those components are discussed in further detail below. 1. CEQA Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) Applies to the CUP for the Continuation of an Industrial Use in the Existing Warehouse. The City applied the Class 1 Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 in connection with the CUP for the continuation of the permitted industrial use in the existing warehouse. The CUP does not authorize a new use, or physical expansion of the existing use, and the Class 1 Exemption does not relate to uses within the proposed building expansion. This application is consistent with CEQA, which allows use of a Class 1 Exemption for regulatory actions involving the continuation of existing uses. Under CEQA, exemptions are valid unless an exception applies under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines. No such evidence that an exception applies has been presented here. Finding: The CUP does not constitute an expansion of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving the expansion of an existing or former use. Because there is no expansion of the existing use authorized by the CUP, a Class 1 Exemption applies. No exception under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies. 2. CEQA Section 15332 (Infill Development Projects) Applies to the Construction of the Warehouse Expansion for Storage Use. The City applied the Class 32 Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 in connection with approval of the construction of an expansion to the existing warehouse for storage uses. The Class 32 Exemption is supported by a CEQA technical memorandum (See Exhibit D to Attachment 1), and environmental consultant analysis. The CEQA technical memorandum concludes that the Project qualifies for a Class 32 Exemption because it meets the five required conditions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332. Page 647 Page 3 2 8 4 6 Importantly, the proposed 45,993-square-foot warehouse expansion is well below the 75,000- square-foot screening threshold for potentially cumulatively considerable impacts on air quality, as identified by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. In addition, the proposed warehouse will simply provide an indoor space to store cardboard inventory and other materials that are currently kept outdoors and will not result in an increase in traffic to or from the Project site. The City’s environmental consultant notes that operational efficiencies caused by the warehouse expansion may reduce fugitive emissions. With respect to air quality impacts caused by construction, the City’s environmental consultant notes that short-term construction impacts are not typically considered cumulatively considerable unless they result in significant, prolonged environmental degradation. Here, emissions would be temporary, localized, and regulated by existing air quality laws and best management practices. Further, the nearest sensitive receptor is located more than 2,000 feet from the site, further reducing any concern of direct health risk during construction activities. Finding: Use of the Class 32 Exemption applies to the expansion of the warehouse for storage uses and is supported by substantial evidence. No exception under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies. This item was advertised as a public hearing item with a regular legal advertisement in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper on May 21, 2025, the property was posted on May 21, 2025, and notices were mailed to 14 property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site on May 20, 2025. FISCAL IMPACT: The Project site is currently assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax is shared with the City. The proposed building addition will increase the value of the Project site, and the City’s annual share of the property tax will increase accordingly. COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: The Project supports the City Council's core value of the relentless pursuit of improvement by increasing the operational efficiency of an existing manufacturing use within the City. The CUP will allow existing manufacturing uses to continue, while the warehouse expansion will allow for the relocation of outdoor storage into an enclosed building, reducing visual clutter and enhancing site aesthetics.

The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 – Infill Development Projects. The project also qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities (Design Review DRC2023-00379 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2024-00288). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the resolutions of approval for Design Review DRC2023-00379 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2024-00288, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval. BACKGROUND: The project site is located at 8949 Toronto Avenue and is developed with a 98,406-square-foot industrial building constructed in 1995 by Cal Box. Cal Box manufactures and distributes custom designed corrugated boxes for businesses. They are proposing an expansion of their existing facility to store raw materials and finished goods manufactured on site. The parcel is approximately 532 feet from east to west and 613 feet from north to south, with an area of approximately 336,283 square feet (7.7 acres). The right-of-way improvements, including sidewalk, curb, gutter, landscaping, and utility undergrounding along Toronto Avenue, have been completed and will remain as part of this project. The existing Land Use, General Plan, and Zoning designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Industrial Building 21st Century Employment District Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) North BNSF/Metrolink Right of Way - - South Industrial Building 21st Century Employment District Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) East Vacant Land City Center Center 2 (CE2) West Industrial Building 21st Century Employment District Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) Attachment 1 Page 649 Page 2 of 5 ANALYSIS: The applicant proposes constructing a 45,993-square-foot addition along the west elevation of the existing 98,406-square-foot industrial building. The addition will be used to store raw materials and finished goods related to the site's primary manufacturing use, which is proposed to continue in relation to the subject request for entitlements. While the use is permitted with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) pursuant to Development Code Section 17.136.020 (Allowed Land Uses), the existing building is nonconforming in terms of street-side setbacks. Development Code Section 17.62.030-B (Alterations and Additions to Nonconforming Uses and Structures) states: “No nonconforming structure shall be altered or reconstructed in a way that increases the discrepancy between existing conditions and the standards for front yard, side yards, rear yard, height of structures, distances between structures, and parking facilities.” The proposed addition will reduce the discrepancy between current conditions (190-foot setback from the face of the curb on Toronto Avenue) and the required setbacks (15 feet minimum), as the addition will bring the overall building closer to the street (70 feet from the face of the curb). Figure 1: Site Plan Page 650 Page 3 of 5 Design The proposed building addition will be of concrete tilt-up construction and designed to match the existing building, including the use of form lines and high windows. A two-story design element with glazing has been added to the southwest corner of the addition to create an office-like appearance, along with new landscaping along the west and south elevations and decorative paving at the main vehicle entrance. The landscaping in the existing parking lot area will be enhanced to meet current landscape requirements, including the addition of trees, shrubs, and ground cover. The existing and new loading areas, dock doors, and trailer parking stalls will be located on the north and south elevations of the building and screened from public view by an existing wall and by the building. Figure 2: Colored Rendering Development Code Conformity The project was designed to bring the site into closer conformance with development standards of the Mixed Employment 2 (Zone) including building and parking setbacks, number of parking spaces, and floor area ratio as shown in the following tables: Required Provided Compliant? Building Setback (Street) 5 to 15 Feet 70 Feet Yes* Building Setback (Side) N/A 40 and 50 Feet Yes Building Setback (Rear) N/A 135 Feet Yes Parking Setback 10 Foot Minimum 81 Feet Yes Landscape Coverage N/A 10.8 Percent Yes Floor Area Ratio .4 – 2.0 Percent 43 Percent Yes Building Height 4 Stories (Maximum) 1 Story Yes *The proposed addition will bring the building into greater conformance with the required streetside setback in compliance with Development Code Section 17.62.030-B related to Nonconforming Uses and Structures.

With the proposed expansion, the existing manufacturing use is required to obtain a CUP to comply with this requirement. Cal Box operates 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday, with up to 64 employees working in two shifts. During peak periods, up to two Saturday shifts may be added per month between 2:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Office personnel work from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. On average, 20 trucks access the site daily. The expansion will not increase the number of employees or vehicles accessing the site but will relocate existing outdoor activities indoors. The site has sufficient parking to accommodate the current staff, trucks, and trailers. Design Review Committee The Design Review Committee (DRC – Daniels and Boling) reviewed the project on October 1, 2024. Staff presented the item, and committee members inquired about nonconforming setbacks and compliance with other development standards. Committee members also asked the applicant about their business history in Rancho Cucamonga and operations related to the proposed addition. They noted that colored renderings were missing from the plan set and requested that the applicant provide a rendering before the item goes to the Planning Commission. The full set of plans attached as Exhibit B includes the requested color renderings. Public Art This project is required to comply with the public art ordinance as outlined in Chapter 17.124 of the Development Code. Based on the area of the proposed addition, the total art value required Page 652 Page 5 of 5 per Section 17.124.020.C. is $45,993 ($1 per square foot). A condition has been included pursuant to the Development Code that requires the public art requirement to be fulfilled prior to occupancy. Environmental Assessment Planning staff determined that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under: • Section 15332 (Infill Development Projects): Covers infill developments on sites less than 5 acres, with no significant impact on traffic, noise, air quality, or water. • Section 15301 (Existing Facilities): Covers the Conditional Use Permit requirement for a Manufacturing Use (Large) over 50,000 square feet in the ME2 Zone. A Section 15332 CEQA exemption was prepared by UES (April 2025), an environmental consultant hired by the City (Exhibit D – CEQA Section 15332 Infill Exemption). Staff reviewed the exemption and confirmed that the project meets CEQA criteria and does not significantly impact biological resources, traffic, noise, air quality, or water. While the overall site is approximately 7.7 acres in area, the area disturbed by the proposed improvements is significantly below the 5-acre limit permitted by the Section 15332 exemption. The proposed addition will replace a paved area currently used for outdoor storage with an enclosed building. The Planning Director independently reviewed and concurred with staff’s findings. Correspondence This item was advertised as a public hearing with a regular legal advertisement in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper on April 8, 2025, the property was posted on April 9, 2025, and notices were mailed to 15 property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site on April 8, 2025. To date, Staff has not received any comments related to the project to date. FISCAL IMPACT: The project site is currently assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax is shared with the City. The proposed building addition will increase the value of the project site, and the City’s annual share of the property tax will increase accordingly. COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED: The project supports the City Council's core value of the relentless pursuit of improvement by increasing the operational efficiency of an existing manufacturing use within the city.

(Design Review DRC2023-00379 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2024-00288). The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 – Infill Development Projects. Site Characteristics: The project site is located at the terminus of Toronto Avenue and is developed with a 98,406 square foot industrial building. The parcel is approximately 532 feet from east to west and 613 feet from north to south, with an area of approximately 336,283 square feet (7.7 acres). The right-of-way improvements (including landscaping, and utility undergrounding along Toronto Avenue have been installed and will remain as part of this project. The existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Project Overview: The applicant proposes constructing a 45,993 square foot addition on the west side of the existing 98,406 square foot industrial building that is used manufacturing purposes. The addition will be used to store raw material and finished goods related to the main manufacturing use. While the proposed use is permitted with a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Development Code Section 17.136.010 (Allowed Land Uses), the existing building on the site is non-conforming in terms of street side setbacks. Development Code Section 17.62.030-B (Alteration and Additions to Nonconforming Uses and Structures) states that “(n)o nonconforming structure shall be altered or reconstructed that results in an increase of the discrepancy between existing conditions and the standards for front yard, side yards, rear yard or height of structures, distances between structures, and parking facilities…”. The proposed building addition will reduce the discrepancy between current conditions and the required setbacks as the addition will bring the overall building closer to the street. The proposed building will be of concrete tilt-up construction and designed to match the existing building including the use of form lines and high windows. Two-story glazing has been added to the southwest corner of the addition to create visual interest, along with new landscaping along the west and south elevations and decorative paving at the main vehicle entrance.

The existing and new loading areas, dock doors and trailer parking stalls are located on the north and south elevations of the building and screened from public view by an existing wall and by the building. The project was designed to bring the site into closer conformance with development standards of the Mixed Employment 2 (Zone) including building and parking setbacks, number of parking spaces, and floor area ratio as shown on the following tables: Required Provided Compliant?

Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, which designates the site as 21st Century Employment District. This designation allows for the expansion of existing industrial uses, provided they maintain clean industrial operations. The project includes the construction of a 45,993-square-foot addition to an existing 98,406-square-foot industrial building used for manufacturing purposes, aligning with the intent of the General Plan; and b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located as the project site is within the Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) Zone which permits Light Manufacturing Large land uses subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit; and c. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. The Development Code permits the expansion of existing non-conforming buildings that do not result in an increase of the discrepancy between existing conditions and the standards for “front yard, side yards, rear yard or height of structures, distances between structures, and parking facilities…”. The proposed addition will reduce the current non-conforming front setback in conformance with the Development Code; and d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. A CEQA exemption was prepared for the project which determined that the propose building addition would not have a significant impact on the environment. 4. Planning staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 – Infill Development Projects, as the project is for the construction of a 45,993-square-foot addition to an existing 98,406-square-foot industrial building.

A. Recitals. 1. Goree Architects for Cal Box filed an application for the issuance of Conditional Use Permit DRC2024-00288, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 23rd day of April 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on said application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced meeting on April 23, 2025, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a project site located at 8949 Toronto Avenue (APN: 0209-401-05); and b. The existing Land Use, General Plan, and Zoning designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Industrial Building 21st Century Employment District Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) North BNSF/Metrolink Right of Way - - South Industrial Building 21st Century Employment District Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) East Vacant Land City Center Center 2 (CE2) West Industrial Building 21st Century Employment District Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) Page 679 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2025-013 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2024-00288 – GOREE ARCHITECHTS FOR CAL BOX April 23, 2025 Page 2 c. Approval is for the operation of a Light Manufacturing Large land use within a 144,399 square foot building; and d. The subject Conditional Use Permit is related to Development Review DRC2023- 00379 to expand an existing 98,406 square foot building by 45,993 square feet (total area 144,399). 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The use is consistent with the general plan designation. The 21st Century Employment District permits existing industrial uses to remain. The site is developed with an existing industrial building, parking, and landscaping. The related expansion of the existing industrial building (Design Review DRC2023-00379) is not expected to increase the number of employees or vehicle trips to the project site as it will bring activities that currently take place outdoors within the expanded building footprint; and b. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the Development Code and the purposes of the applicable zone as well as any applicable specific plans or city regulations/standards. Per Development Code Table 17.136.020-1 (Allowed Land Uses in Form- Based Zones), manufacturing uses over 50,000 square feet are classified as Light Manufacturing Large and require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) Zone. The existing manufacturing use has been in operation in the current location prior to the CUP requirement. With the proposed expansion, the existing manufacturing use must obtain a CUP to comply with this requirement; and c. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints that would make conduct of the use undesirable. The project’s scale and operation align with the intensity of neighboring land uses. The proposed conditions of approval will ensure compliance with performance criteria, safety standards, maintenance expectations, and all related municipal codes to mitigate any potential adverse impacts associated with the manufacturing process; and d. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use would be compatible with the existing and other permitted uses in the vicinity, including transportation and service facilities. The manufacturing use on the site will take place entirely indoors, and the intensity of the use is not expected to exceed that of the current use on the site; and e. Granting the permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious or detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located. The scale and operation of the use are of similar intensity to the surrounding uses. The use has been conditioned to meet performance criteria, safety standards, maintenance standards, and all other Municipal Code standards to mitigate any potential impact related to the proposed manufacturing use; and f. The proposed use will not pose an undue burden on city services, including police, fire, streets, and other public utilities, such that the city is unable to maintain its current level of service due to the use. The expansion of the existing operation is not expected to hinder the city’s ability to maintain its current level of service; and Page 680 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2025-013 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2024-00288 – GOREE ARCHITECHTS FOR CAL BOX April 23, 2025 Page 3 g. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities, as outlined in Section 4 below. 4. Planning staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines. The project also qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities, which covers the permitting of existing structures . The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department’s determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs with staff's determination of exemption. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 23RD DAY OF APRIL 2025.

The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 – Infill Development Projects. The project also qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities (Design Review DRC2023-00379 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2024-00288). Associate Planner Tabe van der Zwaag presented a PowerPoint presentation (copy on file). He noted that a copy of the letter from CEQA consultant, Universal Engineering Sciences (UES), responding to Lozeau Drury, LLP (Attorney’s Office), was provided to the commissioners under separate cover on 4/21/2025 and was available at the meeting for viewing. Page 721 HPC/PC Final Minutes – April 23, 2025 Page 2 of 3 Chairman Morales opened the public hearing. Applicant Widera and Plant Manager Baker where both in attendance and available for questions. Commissioner Dopp asked whether this serves as their manufacturing facility. Applicant Widera confirmed. Commissioner Dopp stated that their intent is not to expand production, but rather to address storage needs. Applicant Widera confirmed. He explained that when the corrugated materials are stored outside, they are subject to weather conditions, and they often experience some loss of product especially when it rains. Vice Chairman Boling inquired whether the site is fully developed, and owner occupied. Applicant Widera confirmed. Vice Chairman Boling stated that storage operations are currently conducted outdoors, and those activities will be moved indoors, thereby reducing noise, lighting and air quality issues compared to current operations. Applicant Widera agreed. Chairman Morales asked whether there would be any increase truck traffic to the site than what they already have. Applicant Widera confirmed that there should be no increase in traffic. Chase Preciado, Lozeau Drury representative, spoke against the project. For the record, it is noted that correspondence from Lozeau Drury was received after the agenda packet was prepared, expressing opposition to the project due to environmental concerns and stated a mitigated negative declaration or and environmental impact report should be completed for the project. The actual correspondence should be referred to for details. Hearing no other comments from the public, Chairman Morales closed the public hearing. Applicant Widera responded to the public comment, and stated there will be no extra burden on the environment. He said it will reduce the noise and beautify the area. Commissioner Dopp expressed appreciation for seeing a business that continues to engage in manufacturing within the city limits. He also thanked staff for addressing environmental concerns. He noted that the land has previously been used for storage, there will be no business expansion, and no increase in traffic is anticipated. He stated his support for the project. Commissioner Daniels expressed appreciation to the applicant for their continued investment in the community. He agreed that relocating the storage operation indoors would enhance efficiency and commended the applicant for complying with all development codes. Commissioner Diaz expressed her appreciation that they are focused not only on maintaining the quality of their product by protecting it from external elements, but more importantly, ensuring the safety of their workers. Page 722 HPC/PC Final Minutes – April 23, 2025 Page 3 of 3 Vice Chairman Boling commended the Economic Development Department for their excellent work in attracting new businesses. He also highlighted their efforts in supporting business retention through ongoing collaboration with local companies.

Dear Chair Morales, Vice Chair Boling, Honorable Commissioners, and Planner Van der Zwaag: This correspondence is submitted on behalf of Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (“SAFER”) and its members living and/or working in and around the City of Rancho Cucamonga (“City”) regarding the Cal Box II Project (DRC2023-00379 and DRC2024- 00288) (“Project”) and the proposed adoption of a California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Class 32 Categorical Infill Exemption (“ In-Fill Exemption”) or a Class 1 Existing Facilities Exemption (“Existing Facilities Exemption”). For the reasons discussed below, the Project does not qualify for CEQA’s Infill Exemption nor does it qualify for the Existing Facilities Exemption and requires preparation of an initial study followed by either a mitigated negative declaration (“MND”) or environmental impact report (“EIR”) prior to approval. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project proposes a 45,993 square foot addition to an existing 98,406 square foot industrial building. The Project Site is located at the terminus of Toronto Avenue in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Page 725 April 21, 2025 SAFER Comment on Cal Box II Project Page 2 of 4 LEGAL STANDARD CEQA mandates that “the long-term protection of the environment . . . shall be the guiding criterion in public decisions” throughout California. (Pub. Resources Code (“PRC”) § 21001(d).) A “project” is “the whole of an action” directly undertaken, supported, or authorized by a public agency “which may cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.” (PRC § 21065; 14 CCR § 15378(a).) CEQA requires environmental factors to be considered at the “earliest possible stage . . . before [the project] gains irreversible momentum,” (Bozung v. LAFCO (1975) 13 Cal.3d 263, 284 n.28), “at a point in the planning process where genuine flexibility remains.” (Sundstrom v. Mendocino County (1988) 202 Cal.App.3d 296, 307.) To achieve its objectives of environmental protection, CEQA has a three-tiered structure. (14 CCR § 15002(k); Committee to Save the Hollywoodland Specific Plan v. City of Los Angeles (2008) 161 Cal.App.4th 1168, 1185-86.) First, if a project falls into an exempt category, or it can be seen with certainty that the activity in question will not have a significant effect on the environment, no further evaluation is required under CEQA. (14 CCR § 15002(k)(1).) Second, if the project is not exempt and there is a possibility the project will have a significant effect on the environment, an initial threshold study is required. (14 CCR § 15002(k)(2).) Third, either a mitigated negative declaration is required if the initial study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect (id.) or an environmental impact report is required if the initial study shows that the project may have a significant effect (14 CCR § 15002(k)(3). Because staff has recommended that the Commission find the Project to be exempt from CEQA, we are at the first step in the process. CEQA identifies certain classes of projects which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA. These are called categorical exemptions. (14 CCR §§ 15300, 15354.) “Exemptions to CEQA are narrowly construed and “‘[e]xemption categories are not to be expanded beyond the reasonable scope of their statutory language.’” (Mountain Lion Foundation v. Fish & Game Com. (1997) 16 Cal.4th 105, 125.) Here, staff has recommended that the Project is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA’s Infill Exemption (14 CCR § 15332.) Under CEQA’s Infill Exemption, a project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA if the project meets the following five conditions: (a)The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. (b)The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. (c)The project site has no value, as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. Page 726 April 21, 2025 SAFER Comment on Cal Box II Project Page 3 of 4 (d)Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. (e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Here, staff has also recommended approval of the Project on the basis that the Project qualifies for CEQA’s Existing Facilities Exemption. Projects falling within the Existing Facilities Exemption are those that “consist[] of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alternation of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.” (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301.) Examples of the types of projects that qualify for the Existing Facilities Exemption include “[a]dditions to existing structures provided that the addition will not result in an increase of more than: (1)50 percent of the floor area of the structures before the addition, or 2,500 square feet, whichever is less; or (2)10,000 square feet if: (A) [t]he project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and (B) [t]he area in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive. (14 Cal Code Regs. § 15301(e).) DISCUSSION I.The Project May Have a Significant Air Quality Impact, Precluding Reliance on the Infill Exemption. The Project does not qualify for the Infill Exemption because it might result in significant, cumulative air quality impacts. According to the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment’s (OEHHA) CalEnviroScreen Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool, the census tract where the Project is located has a pollution burden of 88, meaning residents in this tract bear a higher pollution burden than 88 percent of tracts in the state. (Exhibit A.)1 For diesel particulate matter (“DPM”), a toxic air contaminant, the Project location is worse than 69 percent of other census tracts in the state. (Exhibit B.) Diesel trucks, like those to be used during the construction and operation of the Project, are a major source of DPM emissions. (Exhibit B.) Exposure to DPM is known to cause serious health problems, such as heart and lung disease and lung cancer. (Exhibit B.) These health impacts are important to consider given that the census tract where the site is located is in the 68th percentile for cardiovascular disease, meaning it is higher than 68 percent of the census tracts in California. (Exhibit C.) 1 CalEnviroScreen is available at: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/ed5953d89038431dbf4f22ab9abfe40d/ Page 727 April 21, 2025 SAFER Comment on Cal Box II Project Page 4 of 4 Within this setting, the Project will contribute to the already harmful air quality conditions in the surround area. This is a potentially significant cumulative impact that disqualifies the Project from proceeding under the Infill Exemption. The Project must undergo CEQA review through the preparation of an initial study followed by an EIR or MND to adequately analyze this impact. II.The Project Does Not Meet the Criteria for the Existing Facilities Exemption. The Project does not qualify for the Existing Facilities Exemption because it does not consist of a “minor alteration” that involves a “negligible or no expansion of [an] existing or former use.” (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301(e).) The Project greatly exceeds what is permitted as an addition to an existing structure, which at most is a 10,000 square foot addition. Here, the Project is proposing a 45,993 square foot addition, more than four times the additional square footage allowed under the Existing Facilities Exemption. Thus, the Project is far too big to qualify for this exemption and must be analyzed in an EIR or MND. CONCLUSION SAFER respectfully requests that the Planning Commission find that the Project does not qualify for the Infill or Existing Facilities Exemption and recommend that staff prepare an initial study followed by an EIR or MND for the Project in order to analyze and mitigate significant impacts as well as ensure compliance with CEQA.

The proposed project is under the 75,000 square feet of warehousing used to screen out potential cumulatively considerable projects under CEQA according to the Southern California Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) cumulatively considerable threshold. The proposed project will cover an existing storage area. It will not result in an increase in traffic on the roadways. It will reduce traffic and congestion on-site and off-site. The construction is being completed to cover cardboard that otherwise must be covered with tarps, depending on the weather, and/or stored in other storage facilities. This will reduce the trips made to and from the facility. In addition, the cardboard boxes are now stored in the parking lot. Covering the area will allow operational efficiencies to reduce traffic and circulation congestion on the site. The Project would not contribute significantly to the surrounding area's air quality conditions, so it would not have a potentially significant cumulative impact because the potential impact would not be cumulatively considerable. In addition, the heavy equipment used during construction would be temporary and adhere to all current regulatory standards that are in place to reduce the potential air quality impacts to less than significant. No mitigation measures would be required to reduce the project’s potential impact on air quality. The project is categorically exempt from CEQA's requirements under CEQA’s In-fill Exemption (14 CCR §15332).

Recitals. 1. The applicant, Goree Architects for Cal Box, filed an application for the approval of Design Review DRC2023-00379 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Design Review is referred to as "the application." 2. On April 23, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted Resolution No. 25-012 approving the application and making findings in support of its decision. 3. On April 30, 2025, Lozeau Drury, LLP (“Appellant”), filed a timely appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision approving the application. 4. On June 4, 2025, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga opened a duly noticed public hearing on the appeal, conducted the public hearing, concluded the hearing on that date, and adopted this Resolution denying the appeal and upholding the Planning Commission’s approval of the application and making findings in support thereof. 5. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon all available evidence in the record and presented to the City Council during the above-referenced public hearing on June 4, 2025, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, the City Council hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located within the City; and b. The application applies to a project site located 8949 Toronto Avenue (APN: 0209-401-05); and Page 737 Resolution No. 2025-020 - Page 2 of 4 c. b. The existing Land Use, General Plan, and Zoning designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: d. Approval is for the design review and site layout of a 45,993 square foot addition to an existing 98,406 square foot industrial building; and e. This application is in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit DRC2024- 00288 to operate a Light Manufacturing Large land use in the resulting 144,399 square foot building. 3. Based upon all available evidence in the record and presented to the City Council during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, the City Council hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, which designates the site as 21st Century Employment District. This designation allows for the expansion of existing industrial uses, provided they maintain clean industrial operations. The project includes the construction of a 45,993-square-foot addition to an existing 98,406-square-foot industrial building used for manufacturing purposes, aligning with the intent of the General Plan; and b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located as the project site is within the Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) Zone which permits Light Manufacturing Large land uses subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit; and c. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. The Development Code permits the expansion of existing non-conforming buildings that do not result in an increase of the discrepancy between existing conditions and the standards for “front yard, side yards, rear yard or height of structures, distances between Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Industrial Building 21st Century Employment District Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) North BNSF/Metrolink Right of Way - - South Industrial Building 21st Century Employment District Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) East Vacant Land City Center Center 2 (CE2) West Industrial Building 21st Century Employment District Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) Page 738 Resolution No. 2025-020 - Page 3 of 4 structures, and parking facilities…”. The proposed addition will reduce the current non-conforming front setback in conformance with the Development Code; and d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. A CEQA exemption was prepared for the project which determined that the propose building addition would not have a significant impact on the environment. 4. Planning staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 – Infill Development Projects, as the project is for the construction of a 45,993-square-foot addition to an existing 98,406-square-foot industrial building. The Section 15332 CEQA exemption covers infill developments on sites less than 5 acres in area that will not have a significant impact relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water. A Section 15332 CEQA exemption was prepared by UES (April 2025), an environmental consultant hired by the City (Exhibit D – CEQA Section 15332 Infill Exemption), to demonstrate compliance with the Section 15332 exemption. Staff evaluated the CEQA exemption prepared by UES and concluded that the impacted area is less than 5 acres in area and will not have a significant impact on the environment relating to biological resources, traffic, noise, air quality, or water. The City Council has reviewed the Planning Department’s determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs with staff's determination of exemption. 5. Based upon the findings, evidence, and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, the City Council hereby denies the appeal (DRC2025-00107) and upholds the Planning Commission’s decision to approve Design Review DRC2023-00379 subject to each and every condition set forth in the Conditions of Approval attached to Planning Commission Resolution No. 25-012. 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon all available evidence in the record and presented to the City Council during the above-referenced public hearing on June 4, 2025, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, the City Council hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located within the City; and b. The application applies to a project site located 8949 Toronto Avenue (APN: 0209-401-05); and c. b. The existing Land Use, General Plan, and Zoning designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Page 741 Resolution No. 2025-021 - Page 2 of 4 d. Approval is for the operation of a Light Manufacturing Large land use within a 144,399 square foot building; and e. The subject Conditional Use Permit is related to Development Review DRC2023-00379 to expand an existing 98,406 square foot building by 45,993 square feet (total area 144,399. 3. Based upon all available evidence in the record and presented to the City Council during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, the City Council hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The use is consistent with the general plan designation. The 21st Century Employment District permits existing industrial uses to remain. The site is developed with an existing industrial building, parking, and landscaping. The related expansion of the existing industrial building (Design Review DRC2023-00379) is not expected to increase the number of employees or vehicle trips to the project site as it will bring activities that currently take place outdoors within the expanded building footprint; and b. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the Development Code and the purposes of the applicable zone as well as any applicable specific plans or city regulations/standards. Per Development Code Table 17.136.020-1 (Allowed Land Uses in Form- Based Zones), manufacturing uses over 50,000 square feet are classified as Light Manufacturing Large and require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) Zone. The existing manufacturing use has been in operation in the current location prior to the CUP requirement. With the proposed expansion, the existing manufacturing use must obtain a CUP to comply with this requirement; and c. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints that would make conduct of the use undesirable. The project’s scale and operation align with the intensity of Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Industrial Building 21st Century Employment District Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) North BNSF/Metrolink Right of Way - - South Industrial Building 21st Century Employment District Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) East Vacant Land City Center Center 2 (CE2) West Industrial Building 21st Century Employment District Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) Page 742 Resolution No. 2025-021 - Page 3 of 4 neighboring land uses. The proposed conditions of approval will ensure compliance with performance criteria, safety standards, maintenance expectations, and all related municipal codes to mitigate any potential adverse impacts associated with the manufacturing process; and d. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use would be compatible with the existing and other permitted uses in the vicinity, including transportation and service facilities. The manufacturing use on the site will take place entirely indoors, and the intensity of the use is not expected to exceed that of the current use on the site; and e. Granting the permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious or detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located. The scale and operation of the use are of similar intensity to the surrounding uses. The use has been conditioned to meet performance criteria, safety standards, maintenance standards, and all other Municipal Code standards to mitigate any potential impact related to the proposed manufacturing use; and f. The proposed use will not pose an undue burden on city services, including police, fire, streets, and other public utilities, such that the city is unable to maintain its current level of service due to the use. The expansion of the existing operation is not expected to hinder the city’s ability to maintain its current level of service; and g. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities, as outlined in Section 4 below. 4. Planning staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines. The project also qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities, which covers the permitting of existing structures. The City Council has reviewed the Planning Department’s determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs with staff's determination of exemption. The City Council has reviewed the Planning Department’s determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs with staff's determination of exemption. 5.

Dear Mayor Michael, Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy, Councilmembers, and Planner Van der Zwaag: This correspondence is submitted on behalf of Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (“SAFER”) and its members living and/or working in and around the City of Rancho Cucamonga (“City”) regarding SAFER’s appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision approving the Cal Box II Project (DRC2023-00379 and DRC2024-00288) (“Project”) and the proposed adoption of a California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Class 32 Categorical Infill Exemption (“ In-Fill Exemption”) or a Class 1 Existing Facilities Exemption (“Existing Facilities Exemption”). On April 23, 2025, SAFER submitted comments to the Planning Commission, explaining why the Project does not qualify for CEQA’s In-Fill and Existing Facilities Exemption. These comments are incorporated by reference and attached as Exhibit 1. SAFER now submits these supplemental comments which are supported by air quality expert Dr. James Clark, from the environmental consulting firm Clark & Associates. Dr. Clark’s comments are attached as Exhibit 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project proposes a 45,993 square foot addition to an existing 98,406 square foot industrial building. The Project Site is located at the terminus of Toronto Avenue in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. 2025-06-04 - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - ITEM G1 - CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED 6/2/2025 Page 745 June 2, 2025 SAFER Comment on Cal Box II Project Page 2 of 4 LEGAL STANDARD CEQA mandates that “the long-term protection of the environment . . . shall be the guiding criterion in public decisions” throughout California. (Pub. Resources Code (“PRC”) § 21001(d).) A “project” is “the whole of an action” directly undertaken, supported, or authorized by a public agency “which may cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.” (PRC § 21065; 14 CCR § 15378(a).) CEQA requires environmental factors to be considered at the “earliest possible stage . . . before [the project] gains irreversible momentum,” (Bozung v. LAFCO (1975) 13 Cal.3d 263, 284 n.28), “at a point in the planning process where genuine flexibility remains.” (Sundstrom v. Mendocino County (1988) 202 Cal.App.3d 296, 307.) To achieve its objectives of environmental protection, CEQA has a three-tiered structure. (14 CCR § 15002(k); Committee to Save the Hollywoodland Specific Plan v. City of Los Angeles (2008) 161 Cal.App.4th 1168, 1185-86.) First, if a project falls into an exempt category, or it can be seen with certainty that the activity in question will not have a significant effect on the environment, no further evaluation is required under CEQA. (14 CCR § 15002(k)(1).) Second, if the project is not exempt and there is a possibility the project will have a significant effect on the environment, an initial threshold study is required. (14 CCR § 15002(k)(2).) Third, either a mitigated negative declaration is required if the initial study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect (id.) or an environmental impact report is required if the initial study shows that the project may have a significant effect (14 CCR § 15002(k)(3). Because staff has recommended that the Commission find the Project to be exempt from CEQA, we are at the first step in the process. CEQA identifies certain classes of projects which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA. These are called categorical exemptions. (14 CCR §§ 15300, 15354.) “Exemptions to CEQA are narrowly construed and “‘[e]xemption categories are not to be expanded beyond the reasonable scope of their statutory language.’” (Mountain Lion Foundation v. Fish & Game Com. (1997) 16 Cal.4th 105, 125.) Here, staff has recommended that the Project is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA’s Infill Exemption (14 CCR § 15332.) Under CEQA’s Infill Exemption, a project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA if the project meets the following five conditions: (a)The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. (b)The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. Page 746 June 2, 2025 SAFER Comment on Cal Box II Project Page 3 of 4 (c)The project site has no value, as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. (d)Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. (e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Here, the Planning Commission also determined the Project qualifies for CEQA’s Existing Facilities Exemption. Projects falling within the Existing Facilities Exemption are those that “consist[] of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alternation of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.” (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301.) Examples of the types of projects that qualify for the Existing Facilities Exemption include “[a]dditions to existing structures provided that the addition will not result in an increase of more than: (1)50 percent of the floor area of the structures before the addition, or 2,500 square feet, whichever is less; or (2)10,000 square feet if: (A) [t]he project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and (B) [t]he area in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive. (14 Cal Code Regs. § 15301(e).) DISCUSSION I.The Project Will Have Significant Air Quality Impacts, Precluding Reliance on the Infill Exemption. Dr. Clark found that the Project will result in significant air quality impacts. (Ex. B, p. 9.) Dr. Clark used the California Emission Estimator Model (CalEEMod) to prepare an analysis of the Project’s construction and operational emissions and found that the construction phase of the Project “would add as much as 1.24 lbs per day of diesel particulate matter (DPM) [a toxic air contaminant] to the immediate vicinity of the Project Site.” (Ex. 2, p. 7.) Since DPM is known to cause serious health problems, such as heart and lung disease and cancer, Dr. Clark notes that “the City should perform a multistep, quantitative health risk analysis for toxic air contaminants,” the impacts of which “will be greatest for the receptors nearest to the Project Site (including Cal Box II staff who will be present during all of the construction.” (See Ex. 1. Ex. 2, p. 7.) Dr. Clark’s CalEEMod analysis also revealed “that daily PM2.5 emissions would increase by as much as 11.3 lbs per day during the construction phase of the Project. The average daily Page 747 June 2, 2025 SAFER Comment on Cal Box II Project Page 4 of 4 increase during the first 12 months of construction would be 0.6 lbs per day. The 0.6 lbs per day would effectively double the PM2.5 emissions from the Project Site that are normally seen from the Site’s operations.” (Ex. 2, p. 6.) Since the Project is “located in the top 5% of all census tracts in California for exposure to PM2.5 this represents a substantial increase in the exposure of the community to the pollutant.” (Id.) Because the Project will result in a substantial increase in DPM and PM2.5, the City must analyze and mitigate the Project’s significant cumulative air quality impacts in a mitigated negative declaration or an environmental impact report. II.The Project Does Not Meet the Criteria for the Existing Facilities Exemption. The Project does not qualify for the Existing Facilities Exemption because it does not consist of a “minor alteration” that involves a “negligible or no expansion of [an] existing or former use.” (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301(e).) The Project greatly exceeds what is permitted as an addition to an existing structure, which at most is a 10,000 square foot addition. Here, the Project is proposing a 45,993 square foot addition, more than four times the additional square footage allowed under the Existing Facilities Exemption. Thus, the Project is far too big to qualify for this exemption and must be analyzed in an EIR or MND. CONCLUSION SAFER respectfully requests that the City Council grant SAFER’s appeal and find that the Project does not qualify for the Existing Facilities Exemption or the Infill Exemption because it will result in significant air quality impacts and recommend that staff prepare an initial study followed by an EIR or MND for the Project in order to analyze and mitigate significant impacts as well as ensure compliance with CEQA.

Dear Chair Morales, Vice Chair Boling, Honorable Commissioners, and Planner Van der Zwaag: This correspondence is submitted on behalf of Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (“SAFER”) and its members living and/or working in and around the City of Rancho Cucamonga (“City”) regarding the Cal Box II Project (DRC2023-00379 and DRC2024- 00288) (“Project”) and the proposed adoption of a California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Class 32 Categorical Infill Exemption (“ In-Fill Exemption”) or a Class 1 Existing Facilities Exemption (“Existing Facilities Exemption”). For the reasons discussed below, the Project does not qualify for CEQA’s Infill Exemption nor does it qualify for the Existing Facilities Exemption and requires preparation of an initial study followed by either a mitigated negative declaration (“MND”) or environmental impact report (“EIR”) prior to approval. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project proposes a 45,993 square foot addition to an existing 98,406 square foot industrial building. The Project Site is located at the terminus of Toronto Avenue in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Page 750 April 23, 2025 SAFER Comment on Cal Box II Project Page 2 of 4 LEGAL STANDARD CEQA mandates that “the long-term protection of the environment . . . shall be the guiding criterion in public decisions” throughout California.

Third, either a mitigated negative declaration is required if the initial study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect (id.) or an environmental impact report is required if the initial study shows that the project may have a significant effect (14 CCR § 15002(k)(3). Because staff has recommended that the Commission find the Project to be exempt from CEQA, we are at the first step in the process. CEQA identifies certain classes of projects which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA. These are called categorical exemptions. (14 CCR §§ 15300, 15354.) “Exemptions to CEQA are narrowly construed and “‘[e]xemption categories are not to be expanded beyond the reasonable scope of their statutory language.’” (Mountain Lion Foundation v. Fish & Game Com. (1997) 16 Cal.4th 105, 125.) Here, staff has recommended that the Project is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA’s Infill Exemption (14 CCR § 15332.) Under CEQA’s Infill Exemption, a project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA if the project meets the following five conditions: (a)The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. (b)The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. (c)The project site has no value, as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. Page 751 April 23, 2025 SAFER Comment on Cal Box II Project Page 3 of 4 (d)Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. (e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Here, staff has also recommended approval of the Project on the basis that the Project qualifies for CEQA’s Existing Facilities Exemption. Projects falling within the Existing Facilities Exemption are those that “consist[] of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alternation of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.” (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301.) Examples of the types of projects that qualify for the Existing Facilities Exemption include “[a]dditions to existing structures provided that the addition will not result in an increase of more than: (1)50 percent of the floor area of the structures before the addition, or 2,500 square feet, whichever is less; or (2)10,000 square feet if: (A) [t]he project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and (B) [t]he area in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive. (14 Cal Code Regs. § 15301(e).) DISCUSSION I.The Project May Have a Significant Air Quality Impact, Precluding Reliance on the Infill Exemption. The Project does not qualify for the Infill Exemption because it might result in significant, cumulative air quality impacts. According to the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment’s (OEHHA) CalEnviroScreen Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool, the census tract where the Project is located has a pollution burden of 88, meaning residents in this tract bear a higher pollution burden than 88 percent of tracts in the state. (Exhibit A.)1 For diesel particulate matter (“DPM”), a toxic air contaminant, the Project location is worse than 69 percent of other census tracts in the state. (Exhibit B.) Diesel trucks, like those to be used during the construction and operation of the Project, are a major source of DPM emissions. (Exhibit B.) Exposure to DPM is known to cause serious health problems, such as heart and lung disease and lung cancer. (Exhibit B.) These health impacts are important to consider given that the census tract where the site is located is in the 68th percentile for cardiovascular disease, meaning it is higher than 68 percent of the census tracts in California. (Exhibit C.) 1 CalEnviroScreen is available at: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/ed5953d89038431dbf4f22ab9abfe40d/ Page 752 April 23, 2025 SAFER Comment on Cal Box II Project Page 4 of 4 Within this setting, the Project will contribute to the already harmful air quality conditions in the surround area. This is a potentially significant cumulative impact that disqualifies the Project from proceeding under the Infill Exemption. The Project must undergo CEQA review through the preparation of an initial study followed by an EIR or MND to adequately analyze this impact. II.The Project Does Not Meet the Criteria for the Existing Facilities Exemption. The Project does not qualify for the Existing Facilities Exemption because it does not consist of a “minor alteration” that involves a “negligible or no expansion of [an] existing or former use.” (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301(e).) The Project greatly exceeds what is permitted as an addition to an existing structure, which at most is a 10,000 square foot addition. Here, the Project is proposing a 45,993 square foot addition, more than four times the additional square footage allowed under the Existing Facilities Exemption. Thus, the Project is far too big to qualify for this exemption and must be analyzed in an EIR or MND. CONCLUSION SAFER respectfully requests that the Planning Commission find that the Project does not qualify for the Infill or Existing Facilities Exemption and recommend that staff prepare an initial study followed by an EIR or MND for the Project in order to analyze and mitigate significant impacts as well as ensure compliance with CEQA.

Clark’s review of the materials in no way constitutes a validation of the conclusions or materials contained within Project file from the City of Rancho Cucamonga. If we do not comment on a specific item, this does not constitute acceptance of the item. The project site is located at 8949 Toronto Avenue and is developed with a 98,406-square-foot industrial building constructed in 1995 by Cal Box. Cal Box manufactures and distributes custom designed corrugated boxes for businesses. They are proposing an expansion of their existing facility to store raw materials and finished goods manufactured on site. The parcel is approximately 532 feet from east to west and 613 feet from north to south, with an area of approximately 336,283 square feet (7.7 acres). The applicant proposes constructing a 45,993-square-foot addition along the west elevation of the existing 98,406-square-foot industrial building. The addition will be used to store raw materials and finished goods related to the site's primary manufacturing use, which is Clark & Associates Environmental Consulting, Inc.

Figure 1: Proposed Addition The proposed building addition will be of concrete tilt-up construction and designed to match the existing building, including the use of form lines and high windows. A two-story design element with glazing has been added to the southwest corner of the addition to create an office-like appearance, along with new landscaping along the west and south elevations and decorative paving at the main vehicle entrance. The landscaping in the existing parking lot area will be enhanced to meet current landscape Page 762 3 | Page requirements, including the addition of trees, shrubs, and ground cover. The existing and new loading areas, dock doors, and trailer parking stalls will be located on the north and south elevations of the building and screened from public view by an existing wall and by the building. Cal Box operates 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday, with up to 64 employees working in two shifts. During peak periods, up to two Saturday shifts may be added per month between 2:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Office personnel work from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. On average, 20 trucks access the site daily. The expansion will not increase the number of employees or vehicles accessing the site but will relocate existing outdoor activities indoors. The site has sufficient parking to accommodate the current staff, trucks, and trailers. After a careful review of the supporting documentation it is clear that a Class 32 Categorical Exemption is not warranted for the Project. The City should require the Proponent to prepare an environmental impact report (EIR) for the expansion project. Specific Comments 1. The Project Does Not Warrant A Class 32 Categorical Exemption As is detailed in the CEQA Notice of Exemption: Memorandum of Findings 1 prepared by Universal Engineering Sciences, the Subject Property is an approximately 7.41-acre parcel developed with a single structure consisting of a manufacturing area and administrative offices. The findings of the UES memorandum concluded that the proposed project development involves a 45,993-square- foot addition to an existing warehouse building and will occupy no more than 1.5 acres of land. The addition will be adjoined to the current building within the same parcel, and therefore, no new land area will need to be developed or disturbed. The parsing of the Project from the Project site is assumed to be the reason for the CE. Section 15332 and 15301 of CEQA states that a CE is appropriate if • Section 15332 (Infill Development Projects): Covers infill developments on sites less than 5 acres, with no significant impact on traffic, noise, air quality, or water. 1 UES. 2025. CEQA Notice of Exemption: Memorandum of Findings – CAL Box II Warehouse Expansion Project. Page 763 4 | Page • Section 15301 (Existing Facilities): Covers the Conditional Use Permit requirement for a Manufacturing Use (Large) over 50,000 square feet in the ME2 Zone. As noted above the Project is situated on a 7.41 acre parcel, not just the 1.5 acres which the 45,993 square foot addition will be added. The reconfiguration will involve access all of the site to ensure that construction can proceed. The attempt to parse out the smaller parcel is clearly not supportable. 2. The Project Site Is Located In The Top 5% Of Zip Codes In California For Exposure To Ozone And PM2.5, Adding Additional Sources Of Ozone Precursors and PM2.5 Would Adversely Impact The Community The Project Site is located in census tract 6071002110 (zipcode 91730). Using the Office of Environmental Health and Hazard Assessment’s (OEHHA’s) California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool Version·4.0 (CalEnviroScreen) it is possible to assess the existing concerns for the census tract in which the Project is located. The Project Site is also identified as an SB 535 Disadvantaged Community due to the high exposure of the community to criteria air pollutants. Page 764 5 | Page Based on the CalEnviroScreen summary of zipcode 91730, it is clear that the area is in the top 26% of all communities in the State of California impacted by pollution. The Project Site is in the top 4% of communities in the State of California impacted by particulate matter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5), a criteria pollutant regulated for by U.S EPA and the State of California. In addition, the Project Site is in the top 5% of communities in the State of California impacted by ozone. Increasing the number of sources of ozone precursors and PM2.5 within the community via the construction of the Project will exacerbate pollution levels and place a greater health burden on the community, 3. Using The CalEEMod Software From The California Air Pollution Control Offices Association (CAPCOA) It Is Clear That Emissions From A Warehouse Constructed Onsite Would Release Substantial Concentrations Of Criteria Pollutants And Toxic Air Contaminants To The Immediate Vicinity Of The Project Site. Page 765 6 | Page Using the CAPCOA’s CalEEMod software I have prepared an analysis of the construction and operational emissions of the Project assuming it is operated in the manner described by the City. Using the default parameters from the CalEEMod the model (Exhibit to this letter) assumed a construction phase lasting approximately 14-months in duration. Figure 2: Emissions From Construction Of Addition Based on the CalEEMod analysis it is clear that daily PM2.5 emissions would increase by as much as 11.3 lbs per day during the construction phase of the Project. The average daily increase during the first 12 months of construction would be 0.6 lbs per day. The 0.6 lbs per day would effectively double the PM2.5 emissions from the Project Site that are normally seen from the Site’s operations. Page 766 7 | Page Figure 3: CalEEMod Emissions For Operation For a Project located in the top 5% of all census tracts in California for exposure to PM2.5 this represents a substantial increase in the exposure of the community to the pollutant. In addition, the construction phase would add as much as 1.24 lbs per day of diesel particulate matter (DPM) to the immediate vicinity of the Project Site. To determine whether the construction activities will exceed a significance threshold for construction activities, the City should perform a multistep, quantitative health risk analysis for toxic air contaminants (TACs) from the construction and operational phases of the Project. TACs primarily associated with the construction phase are diesel particulate matter (DPM) from off-road construction equipment. The impacts of those emissions will be greatest for the receptors nearest the Project Site (including the Cal Box II staff who will be present during all of the construction). In addition to TACs from diesel exhaust (assumed to be diesel particulate matter or DPM), the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB’s) analysis of tailpipe emissions shows that in addition to simple alkane hydrocarbons, the emissions also contain benzene (human carcinogen), 1,3-butadiene (human carcinogen), ethylbenzene (human carcinogen), toluene (neurotoxin), acetaldehyde Page 767 8 | Page (respiratory irritant), and formaldehyde (human carcinogen), and other air toxins. These air toxins make up approximately 22% of the total organic gases (TOGs) emitted from vehicles. CARB TOG Speciation Profile Run Exhaust 2 CAS# Chemical Name Fraction 75070 Acetaldehyde 0.0028 107028 Acrolein 0.0013 71432 Benzene 0.0247 106990 1,3-Butadiene 0.0055 100414 Ethylbenzene 0.0105 50000 Formaldehyde 0.0158 110543 Hexane 0.0160 67561 Methanol 0.0012 78933 Methyl Ethyl Ketone 0.0002 91203 Naphthalene 0.0005 115071 Propylene 0.0306 100425 Styrene 0.0012 108883 Toluene 0.0576 1330207 Xylenes 0.0480 Clearly the majority of emissions of these compounds from the surrounding sites to the Project site will be associated with passenger vehicles, resulting in significant exposure to benzene (human carcinogen), 1,3-butadiene (human carcinogen), ethylbenzene (human carcinogen), toluene (neurotoxin), acetaldehyde (respiratory irritant), and formaldehyde (human carcinogen), and other air toxins. The inherent toxicity of TACs requires the City to first quantify the concentration of each TAC released into the environment at each of the sensitive receptor locations through air dispersion modeling, calculate the dose of each TAC at that location, and quantify the cancer risk and hazard index for each of the chemicals of concern. Following that analysis, then the City can make a determination of the relative significance of the emissions. The results should then be presented in an EIR prior to approving any agreements with the Proponent or issuing any permits for the Project. 2 https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/speciation-profiles-used-carb-modeling Page 768 9 | Page Conclusion The facts identified and referenced in this comment letter lead me to reasonably conclude that the Project will result in significant impacts if allowed to proceed. Sincerely, Page 769 City Council Appeal Cal Box II Warehouse Expansion June 4, 2025 Project Timeline April 23, 2025 - the Planning Commission approved: •A Design Review for a 45,993 sq. ft. expansion to an existing 98,406 sq. ft. industrial building at 8949 Toronto Avenue. •A CUP permitting the continued use of the existing manufacturing use on the site. • The Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to approve the project after considering all materials and public comments. •On April 30, 2025, staff received an appeal of the project. Project Location Project Site Looking Northeast Overall Site Plan Project Area Photo of Project Area Looking South Building Rendering Environmental Assessment Planning staff determined that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under: •Section 15301 (Existing Facilities): Covers the Conditional Use Permit requirement for the existing manufacturing use. •Section 15332 (Infill Development Projects): Covers infill developments on sites less than 5 acres, with no significant impact on traffic, noise, air quality, or water. Issues Raised in the Appeal Letter Improper Use of CEQA Exemptions •The appellant argues that the City wrongly relied on two categorical exemptions: •Class 1 – Existing Facilities: •Claim that the scale of the warehouse expansion exceeds the scope of a “minor alteration.” Class 32 – Infill Development: •Claim that air quality impacts from diesel trucks and existing pollution burdens make the exemption inapplicable. Response to Issues Raised in Appeal CEQA Allows Use of Multiple Exemptions •Class 1 applies to the continued manufacturing use of the existing building only. •Class 32 applies to the new 45,993 sq. ft. warehouse addition, which meets all required infill criteria. Air Quality Concerns Addressed •Project size is well below the SCAQMD 75,000 sq. ft. threshold for air quality significance. •No increase in site traffic; storage use may reduce outdoor emissions. •Construction emissions are temporary, localized, and regulated. Noticing & Correspondence •Notices were mailed to 15 property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site on May 20, 2025; •This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper on May 21, 2025; •The property was posted on May 21, 2025; •A second letter was received from the appellant on Monday, June 2nd, which raised similar arguments to the original appeal letter and has been distributed to the council. Staff Recommendation •Staff recommends that the City Council deny Appeal DRC2025-00107 and uphold the Planning Commission approval of Design Review DRC2023-00379 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2024-00288.
