A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING THE
LOCATIONS WHERE UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING IS
MANDATORY AND THE REGIONS WHERE IN-LIEU
UNDERGROUNDING FEES MAY BE SPENT IN ACCORDANCE
WITH CHAPTER 17.84 OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA
MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 1045 added Chapter 17.84 to the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal
Code in order to establish requirements for undergrounding overhead utility lines for new
development and redevelopment projects; and
WHEREAS, Section 17.84.020 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code authorizes
developers to pay a fee in lieu of undergrounding overhead utility lines where the City Engineer
determines, based on certain findings, that utility undergrounding is impractical; and
WHEREAS, Section 17.84.060.B. states that an exemption from the undergrounding
requirement may not be approved, and an in-lieu fee is not permitted, in General Plan Focus Areas
shown in a resolution approved by the City Council and any specific plan or master plan adopted by
the City Council; and
WHEREAS, Section 17.84.070 states that any in-lieu fees collected for utility undergrounding
must be spent in the region in which the development from which the funds were collected is located,
as identified in a map approved by the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby resolves as
follows:
Section 1. Pursuant to Section 17.84.060.B. of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code,
the City Council hereby adopts the map set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto showing the General
Plan Focus Areas where an exemption from the utility undergrounding requirement is not applicable.
Section 2. Pursuant to Section 17.84.070 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code,
the City Council hereby adopts the map set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto showing the regions in
which in-lieu fees may be spent based upon the location of the development that genereted such
funds.
Section 3. The City Council finds that the establishment of the maps set forth herein is
not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it can be seen with
certainty that such maps would not have a significant effect on the environment. (Pub. Res. Code
Sec. 15061(b)(3)). This is because the maps merely clarify the areas already outlined by the City
Council in Ordinance No. 1045 and are not intended to expand or authorize any new development.
Section 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Resolution is for
any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of any competent
jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution.
The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Resolution, and each and every
section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase not declared invalid or unconstitutional without
regard to whether any portion of the Resolution would be subsequently declared invalid or
unconstitution
Section 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
