shall be entitled to utilize the Work Product for any and all purposes, including but not
limited to constructing, using, maintaining, altering, adding to, restoring, rebuilding and
publicizing the Project or any aspect of the Project. Consultant retains ownership of all pre-
existing intellectual property, methodologies, templates, software, and proprietary tools
developed independently of this Agreement. Consultant grants the City a nonexclusive,
perpetual license to use such materials solely for purposes of the Project, including
operation, maintenance, repair, and future modification.
7.3 Title to Intellectual Property. Consultant warrants and represents that
it has secured all necessary licenses, consents or approvals to use any instrumentality, thing
or component as to which any intellectual property right exists, including computer
software, used in the rendering of the Services and the production of the Work Product
and/or materials produced under this Agreement, and that City has full legal title to and the
right to reproduce any of the Work Product. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold
City, and its elected officials, officers, employees, servants, attorneys, designated
volunteers, and agents serving as independent contractors in the role of City officials,
harmless from any loss, claim or liability in any way related to a claim that City’s use is
violating federal, state or local laws, or any contractual provisions, relating to trade names,
licenses, franchises, patents or other means of protecting intellectual property rights and/or
interests in products or inventions. Consultant shall bear all costs arising from the use of
patented, copyrighted, trade secret or trademarked documents, materials, software,
equipment, devices or processes used or incorporated in the Services and materials
produced under this Agreement. In the event City’s use of any of the Work Product is held
to constitute an infringement and any use thereof is enjoined, Consultant, at its expense,
shall: (a) secure for City the right to continue using the Work Product by suspension of any
injunction or by procuring a license or licenses for City; or (b) modify the Work Product
so that it becomes non- infringing. This covenant shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

of Consultant’s employees, except as set forth in this Agreement. Consultant shall not, at
any time, or in any manner, represent that it or any of its officers, agents or employees are
in any manner employees of City. Consultant shall pay all required taxes on amounts paid

Consultant shall fully comply with the workers’ compensation law regarding Consultant
and Consultant’s employees.
9. Confidentiality. Consultant may have access to financial, accounting,
statistical, and personnel data of individuals and City employees. Consultant covenants
that all data, documents, discussion, or other information developed or received by
Consultant or provided for performance of this Agreement are confidential and shall not
be disclosed by Consultant without prior written authorization by City. City shall grant
such authorization if applicable law requires disclosure. All City data shall be returned to
City upon the termination of this Agreement. Consultant’s covenant under this Section
shall survive the termination of this Agreement. This provision shall not apply to
information in whatever form that is in the public domain, nor shall it restrict the Consultant
from giving notices required by law or complying with an order to provide information or
data when such an order is issued by a court, administrative agency or other legitimate
authority, or if disclosure is otherwise permitted by law and reasonably necessary for the
Consultant to defend itself from any legal action or claim.
10. Conflict of Interest.
10.1 Consultant covenants that it presently has no interest and shall not
acquire any interest, direct or indirect, which may be affected by the Services, or which
would conflict in any manner with the performance of the Services. Consultant further
covenants that, in performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall
be employed by it. Furthermore, Consultant shall avoid the appearance of having any
interest, which would conflict in any manner with the performance of the Services.
Consultant shall not accept any employment or representation during the term of this
Agreement which is or may likely make Consultant “financially interested” (as provided
in California Government Code §§1090 and 87100) in any decision made by City on any
matter in connection with which Consultant has been retained.
10.2 Consultant further represents that it has not employed or retained
any person or entity, other than a bona fide employee working exclusively for Consultant,
to solicit or obtain this Agreement. Consultant has not paid or agreed to pay any person or
entity, other than a bona fide employee working exclusively for Consultant, any fee,
commission, gift, percentage, or any other consideration contingent upon the execution of
this Agreement. Upon any breach or violation of this warranty, City shall have the right,
at its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Agreement without further liability, or
to deduct from any sums payable to Consultant hereunder the full amount or value of any
such fee, commission, percentage or gift.
10.3 Consultant has no knowledge that any officer or employee of City
has any interest, whether contractual, noncontractual, financial, proprietary, or otherwise,
in this transaction or in the business of Consultant, and that if any such interest comes to
the knowledge of Consultant at any time during the term of this Agreement, Consultant
shall immediately make a complete, written disclosure of such interest to City, even if such
interest would not be deemed a prohibited “conflict of interest” under applicable laws as

11.1 Professional Services. In the connection with its professional
services, the Consultant shall defend, indemnify, and hold the City, and its elected
officials, officers, employees, servants, volunteers, and agents serving as independent
contractors in the role of City officials, (collectively, “Indemnitees”), free and harmless
with respect to any and all damages, liabilities, losses, reasonable defense costs or
expenses (collectively, “Claims”), including but not limited to liability for death or injury
to any person and injury to any property, to the extent the same arise out of, pertain to, or
relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant or any of
its officers, employees, subcontractors, consultants, or agents in the performance of its
professional services under this Agreement. Consultant shall pay all reasonable defense
costs and expenses, including actual attorney’s fees and experts’ costs incurred in
connection with such defense.
11.2 Other Indemnities. This subsection does not apply to construction
management and inspection services governed by California Civil Code Section 2782.8.
With respect to claims and liabilities which do not arise in connection with the
performance of professional services by a “design professional”, as that term is defined
in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(c), including, but not limited to, those claims and
liabilities normally covered by commercial general and/or automobile liability insurance,
and to the maximum extent permitted by law, Consultant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, protect, defend, hold harmless and indemnify the Indemnitees from and against
any and all damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action,
proceedings, judgments, penalties, liens, stop notices, and losses of any nature
whatsoever, including fees of accountants, attorneys and other professionals, and all
costs associated therewith, and the payment of all consequential damages (collectively
“Damages”), in law or equity, whether actual, alleged or threatened, which arise out of,
pertain to, or relate to the acts or omissions of Consultant, its officers, agents, servants,
employees, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers, or contractors, or their officers,
agents, servants or employees (or any entity or individual for which or whom Consultant
shall bear legal liability) in the performance of this Agreement, except to the extent the
Damages arise from the active or sole negligence or willful misconduct of any of the
Indemnitees, as determined by final arbitration or court decision or by the agreement of
the Parties. Consultant shall defend the Indemnitees in any action or actions filed in
connection with any Damages with counsel of the Indemnitees’ choice, and shall pay all
costs and expenses, including all attorneys’ fees and experts’ costs as they are actually
incurred in connection with such defense. Consultant shall reimburse the Indemnitees for
any and all legal expenses and costs
incurred by the Indemnitees in connection therewith. The indemnification obligation
herein shall not in any way be limited by the insurance obligations contained in this
Agreement.
11.3 Nonwaiver of Rights. Indemnitees do not, and shall not, waive
any rights that they may possess against Consultant because of the acceptance by City,

incident to activities or operations performed by or on behalf of the Consultant.

termination of the Agreement and are in addition to any other rights or remedies which
Indemnitees may have under the law. Payment is not required as a condition precedent to
an Indemnitee’s right to recover under this indemnity provision, and an entry of judgment
against Consultant shall be conclusive in favor of the Indemnitee’s right to recover under
this indemnity provision.

Section 4. SOQ Submission Requirements

tabs? Can this be clarified so that we make
sure we are compliant?
There is no Section 4.8, only sections 4.1-4.7
are required to be submitted.

representative of all disciplines you are
proposing on. Only the description of the

the right to increase or decrease this limit if
needed.

How many firms is the City looking to award
for each of the listed disciplines on page 11

consultants set for each discipline but is
looking to award to multiple consultants for
each category provided that they meet the
requirements of the RFQ and that their
reference checks are in good standing.
9 Is there a page count limit, and if so what
does not count towards it?
There is no page count limit.

we do not perform all of them. Do we need

However, Exhibit H itself should only be
submitted under the portal for Exhibit H on
planet bids.

RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
CITY OF CORONA, BEDFORD WASH BRIDGE AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS | The
Meadowbrook Park Pedestrian Bridge, located in San Bernardino, served as a vital
connector for pedestrian traffic, providing safe access within the local community.
Unfortunately, in 2017, the bridge sustained severe damage from a fire, reportedly caused
by individuals experiencing homelessness. This incident brought attention to the
vulnerability of public infrastructure to various risks, including both environmental and
social challenges. Although public information on the progress of the bridge’s repair or
replacement has been scarce, efforts to restore the bridge remain a top priority. The goal
is to ensure the restoration of pedestrian safety and improve the overall accessibility of the
area. The reconstruction of the bridge involves integrating design improvements focused
on increasing durability and safety, while also addressing the broader goal of community
revitalization. These enhancements may include reinforced materials, better fire-resilient
features, and improved security to prevent future damage. The project highlights the
importance of proactive urban infrastructure maintenance and the need for collaboration
with local agencies to address both the physical and societal challenges facing
communities. This reconstruction effort, while centered around restoring the bridge, also
offers the opportunity to enhance its role in fostering community connections and accessibility for pedestrians in the area.
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, SECOND STREET BRIDGE OVER WARM CREEK | The 2nd Street Bridge in the City of
San Bernardino was a transformative infrastructure project designed to enhance traffic flow, pedestrian access, and safety

practices, cost and schedule control measures, and performance tracking systems.
Overall Project Management and Methodology | Z&K’s project management approach centers on proactive
communication and efficient execution of all project phases. This ensures that every milestone is met while maintaining
transparency with stakeholders. Our approach is structured as follows:
ü Planning: At project initiation, we develop comprehensive plans encompassing scope definition, resource
allocation, risk management strategies, and stakeholder engagement protocols. Utilizing advanced tools such as
GIS mapping and scheduling software, we create accurate, actionable plans that guide the project from start to
finish.
ü Execution: Our construction managers coordinate all team members, ensuring timely delivery of tasks while
mitigating risks and addressing challenges promptly. We maintain open communication with contractors, City staff,
and other stakeholders to ensure alignment at every stage.
ü Monitoring and Evaluation: Regular progress assessments are conducted to track performance against
predefined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Adjustments are made proactively to address unforeseen
challenges and maintain alignment with project goals.
Quality Control Procedures | Z&K places quality at the forefront of our operations, implementing rigorous quality
assurance protocols to ensure that all deliverables meet or exceed City standards. Comprehensive field inspections are
conducted at critical project stages to evaluate compliance with requirements and identify potential issues early. Contractor
submittals are verified against project specifications and City requirements to ensure alignment and quality. Regular audits
and evaluations are performed to rectify potential deficiencies before they escalate. Additionally, standardized benchmarks
and checklists are established for consistent quality control throughout the project lifecycle.
Cost and Schedule Control Procedures | Effective cost and schedule management is a cornerstone of our project
management approach. At the outset of each project, Z&K develops baseline budgets and schedules that serve as critical
reference points. These are closely monitored through regular financial audits to ensure expenditures align with approved

ensuring project transparency. Weekly and monthly progress reports outline accomplishments, upcoming milestones, and
challenges encountered during the project. These reports are supplemented by detailed logs, photographs, and test results
that document project developments comprehensively. Real-time updates are made available through project management
platforms, allowing City staff to access critical information on demand and remain informed throughout the project’s duration.

CONTRACT APPROACH
Steps to Provide On-Call Services | Z&K Consultants implements a structured and proactive approach to deliver superior
on-call construction management, inspection, and materials testing services. The process begins with a comprehensive
project initiation phase, where we establish communication protocols, define roles and responsibilities, and set clear
expectations with City staff and contractors. During this phase, Z&K reviews all project plans, specifications, and schedules
to align with the City's objectives and regulatory requirements.
We assign a dedicated project manager to oversee the entire project lifecycle, ensuring accountability and efficiency at
every stage. Experienced inspectors are deployed to provide continuous oversight, from pre-construction meetings to
project closeout. Pre-construction meetings are conducted to confirm mobilization readiness and alignment on project
requirements. Throughout construction, our team meticulously monitors contractor performance to verify compliance with
design plans, specifications, and applicable regulations. Materials testing is seamlessly integrated into the construction
process, with Converse Consultants providing specialized expertise to ensure the quality and structural integrity of all
materials used. Our testing program adheres to industry standards, delivering reliable results that support decision-making
and risk mitigation.
Z&K prioritizes transparency and accountability through regular reporting and meticulous documentation. Progress reports,
inspection logs, materials testing results, and change order summaries are shared with City staff to provide a real-time
understanding of project developments. By maintaining open lines of communication and delivering consistent updates,
Z&K ensures that all stakeholders are informed, and the project progresses smoothly towards completion. This systematic
and collaborative approach allows us to meet and exceed the City's expectations for on-call services.
Ensuring Contractors Stay on Schedule and Under Budget | Z&K Consultants employs a multi-faceted and proactive
approach to ensure that contractors meet project schedules and stay within budgetary constraints. Regularly scheduled
progress meetings serve as a platform to discuss milestones, address any challenges, and confirm alignment with the
established project plan. Our team meticulously develops and maintains a comprehensive master schedule, which is
continuously updated to reflect real-time progress and identify potential bottlenecks early. Rigorous cost monitoring is
performed throughout the project lifecycle, allowing for early detection of budgetary deviations and the implementation of
corrective measures.
A key component of our strategy is the thorough review of contractor submittals, RFIs, and work plans. This enables our
team to anticipate potential risks and preemptively address issues that could lead to delays or cost overruns. Z&K fosters a
collaborative relationship with contractors to swiftly resolve minor discrepancies before they escalate into significant
problems. By doing so, we mitigate the risks of unintended change orders and ensure that the project progresses without
disruptions. Additionally, Z&K enforces strict adherence to all contractual obligations and continuously monitors contractor
compliance with established project milestones. Our focus on accountability is further strengthened by detailed
documentation of progress, which is shared with stakeholders to maintain transparency. By combining meticulous oversight,
proactive risk management, and effective communication, Z&K ensures that all projects are delivered on time, within budget,
and to the highest standards of quality and performance.
Tools for Managing Staff and Keeping the City Informed | To ensure seamless project execution and maintain
transparency with the City, Z&K utilizes a suite of advanced project management tools, including Primavera P6, Procore,
and GIS-based dashboards. These platforms allow for real-time tracking of project progress, integration of inspection and
testing results, and streamlined document management. Our tools are designed to facilitate clear communication, enabling
City staff to access live updates on schedules, budgets, and project performance metrics.
Weekly progress reports are a cornerstone of our approach, providing the City with key updates on milestones, risk
assessments, and potential challenges. These reports are supported by detailed documentation, such as inspection logs,
materials testing results, and change order summaries, ensuring all relevant data is readily available. Our GIS dashboards
enhance visualization, allowing City stakeholders to see spatial progress and project impacts across locations.
In addition to reporting, these tools promote collaboration among all project participants. By aligning Z&K staff with City staff
through centralized project management systems, we ensure that all parties remain informed and that issues are addressed
swiftly. This integrated and technology-driven approach ensures transparency, fosters accountability, and keeps the City
fully engaged throughout the project lifecycle.
Experience with Projects Resulting in Default or Termination | Z&K Consultants has a strong track record of
successfully managing public works capital projects, with no instances of projects resulting in contractor default or
termination under our oversight. Our proactive and detail-oriented approach ensures that risks are identified and mitigated
early, preventing situations that could lead to excessive delays or liquidated damages. Should any issues arise, our team
is experienced in managing disputes and maintaining open communication to resolve conflicts quickly and effectively,
ensuring project continuity and protecting the City’s interests.
By leveraging our comprehensive work plan, proactive contractor oversight, advanced project management tools, and
proven expertise, Z&K Consultants ensures the successful delivery of on-call construction management, inspection, and

outlined in this RFP. Our approach is built on decades of proven success in delivering municipal capital improvement
programs. By employing robust methodologies, leveraging skilled personnel, and utilizing advanced tools, we ensure
efficient execution, accountability, and transparency in every aspect of service delivery. Below, we detail the key
components of our approach and the methodologies used to manage and deliver these services effectively.
Key or Critical Aspects of Services
Comprehensive Construction Management: Effective oversight across all
project phases is essential to keeping construction projects on schedule and
within budget. Z&K assigns a dedicated Construction Manager to coordinate
tasks and oversee inspection and materials testing services. By implementing
advanced project management software, we maintain real-time tracking of
schedules, budgets, and milestones, ensuring that all aspects of the project are
continuously monitored and any challenges are addressed promptly. Our
structured and proactive approach ensures seamless communication between
the City, contractors, and stakeholders, maintaining alignment with the City’s
goals.
Inspection Services and Quality Assurance: Z&K’s inspection team ensures that construction activities adhere strictly to
design specifications, safety protocols, and regulatory requirements. We deploy trained and certified inspectors to monitor
grading, paving, utility installation, and structural elements. Our inspection methodology focuses on daily oversight, thorough
documentation, and addressing non-compliance issues in real time, ensuring that quality and safety standards are
consistently upheld.
Proactive Risk and Change Order Management: Managing risks and minimizing change orders are critical to avoiding
project delays and budget overruns. Z&K’s approach includes conducting pre-construction reviews of contractor work plans,
RFIs, and submittals to identify and mitigate potential risks. By collaborating closely with contractors and maintaining strict
adherence to contract terms, we ensure that any necessary changes are addressed promptly and effectively, minimizing
their impact on project timelines and costs.
Stakeholder Coordination and Transparency: Collaboration with City staff, contractors, and stakeholders is vital for
successful project execution. Z&K fosters an open communication environment, ensuring alignment with the City's
objectives and community needs. Regular meetings, public updates, and accessible reporting tools provide transparency,
while our streamlined communication strategy facilitates seamless collaboration.
Regulatory Compliance and Documentation: Adherence to federal, state, and local regulations is a cornerstone of our
approach. Z&K ensures that all construction activities comply with ADA standards, stormwater management requirements,
and other applicable regulations. Detailed documentation of compliance activities is maintained, providing a reliable audit
trail and ensuring grant funding eligibility.
Methodologies for Managing Delivery of Services
Work Task Control: Each task is meticulously managed through a detailed Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), which
outlines deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities. Z&K employs tools such as Primavera P6 and Procore to manage and
monitor task progress in real time, ensuring that schedules and budgets remain on track.
Assignment Tracking: Our cloud-based task management systems, including Smartsheet, enable transparent assignment
tracking. Tasks are prioritized, monitored for completion, and adjusted as needed to maintain project flow. Automated
notifications ensure accountability across all team members, providing the City with clear visibility into progress.
Integrated Communication Strategy: Z&K employs a multi-tiered communication approach:
•Internal Coordination: Weekly meetings ensure alignment and address challenges within the team.
•City Coordination: Regular check-ins with City staff provide updates on milestones, budgets, and adjustments.
•Community Engagement: Outreach activities, including forums, newsletters, and dashboards, keep the public
informed and engaged.
Project Status Reporting: Detailed progress reports are delivered on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, covering milestones,
financial expenditures, inspection results, and testing outcomes. These reports are integrated into visually engaging
dashboards, providing City staff and stakeholders with a comprehensive overview of project status and actionable insights.
By addressing these critical aspects through proven methodologies, Z&K ensures the successful delivery of construction
management, inspection, and materials testing services that meet and exceed the City's expectations.

INITIATED BY:Peter Castro, Deputy City Manager
Zack Neighbors, Director of Building and Safety Services
Lori Price, Community Improvement Supervisor
SUBJECT:Consideration of a Professional Services Agreement with Willdan Group
for Contract Code Enforcement Services for a 1 Year Term, with the
Option of Two 1 Year Renewals in the Amount Not to Exceed of $525,000.
(CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council approve a Professional Services Agreement with Willdan
Group for contract Code Enforcement services for a 1-year term, with the option for up to two
one-year renewals, in the amount not to exceed $525,000.
BACKGROUND:
For over 20 years, Willdan Group has been providing local governments with code enforcement
services throughout California. Their services provide a wide range of code enforcement
functions, including on call support and administrative services to support our CALVOL grant
funded services. Willdan Group has consistently provided excellent service in meeting the needs
of the city by providing this service.
The Community Improvement Division provides code enforcement services citywide, including
weekend and after-hours on-call coverage in response to reported concerns. These activities are
handled on an as-needed basis to ensure timely response and support for overall community well-
being.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed Professional Services Agreement will provide on-call code enforcement services
through Willdan Group to support the City’s ongoing efforts in maintaining a healthy, safe, and
well-regulated community environment. Code enforcement plays a critical role in addressing
health and safety issues, ensuring compliance with municipal codes, and promoting community
standards.
In addition, the CALVOL Grant Program targets underserved youth from the Inland Empire by
providing training and skill development that support careers in public service, including
administrative analyst functions. As part of this grant program, the City has added a contract
Administrative Assistant position, and Willdan will provide the associated administrative support
for this role, which will be funded through this Professional Services Agreement. This partnership
enhances both community safety efforts and workforce development opportunities for local youth.

By maintaining dedicated on-call coverage during weekends and after-hours, the City can ensure
prompt response to reported issues and continue providing high-quality service to the community.
This on-call model strengthens overall code enforcement operations and supports the City’s
commitment to public safety and neighborhood quality of life.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Professional Services Agreement with Willdan Group for contract weekend code
enforcement services is for a 1-year term, with the option to renew for up to two (2) additional
one-year terms in an amount not to exceed $525,000. The Fiscal Year 2025/26 Adopted
Budget includes funding for these services.

Consultant’s violations of personnel practices and/or any violation of the California
Labor Code. City shall have the right to offset against the amount of any fees due to

drawings, photographs and any and all other writings, including drafts thereof, prepared,
created or provided by Consultant in the course of performing the Services, including any

benefit of the City. Upon payment being made, and provided Consultant is not in breach
of this Agreement, all Work Product shall be and remain the property of City without
restriction or limitation upon its use or dissemination by City. Basic survey notes,
sketches, charts, computations and similar data prepared or obtained by Consultant under
this Agreement shall, upon request, be made available to City. None of the Work Product

notwithstanding any disputes between Consultant and City concerning payment,
performance of the contract, or otherwise. This covenant shall survive the termination of
this Agreement. City’s reuse of the Work Product for any purpose other than the Project,
shall be at City’s sole risk.

copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual and proprietary property rights relating to
the Work Product and the Project itself, and Consultant shall disclaim and retain no rights
whatsoever as to any of the Work Product, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
City shall be entitled to utilize the Work Product for any and all purposes, including but
not limited to constructing, using, maintaining, altering, adding to, restoring, rebuilding
and publicizing the Project or any aspect of the Project.

that it has secured all necessary licenses, consents or approvals to use any
instrumentality, thing or component as to which any intellectual property right exists,
including computer software, used in the rendering of the Services and the production of
the Work Product and/or materials produced under this Agreement, and that City has full
legal title to and the right to reproduce any of the Work Product. Consultant shall defend,
indemnify and hold City, and its elected officials, officers, employees, servants,
attorneys, designated volunteers, and agents serving as independent contractors in the
role of city officials, harmless from any loss, claim or liability in any way related to a
claim that City’s use is violating federal, state or local laws, or any contractual
provisions, relating to trade names, licenses, franchises, patents or other means of
protecting intellectual property rights and/or interests in products or inventions.
Consultant shall bear all costs arising from the use of patented, copyrighted, trade secret
or trademarked documents, materials, software, equipment, devices or processes used or
incorporated in the Services and materials produced under this Agreement. In the event
City’s use of any of the Work Product is held to constitute an infringement and any use
thereof is enjoined, Consultant, at its expense, shall: (a) secure for City the right to
continue using the Work Product by suspension of any injunction or by procuring a
license or licenses for City; or (b) modify the Work Product so that it becomes non-
infringing. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
8. Status as Independent Contractor. Consultant is, and shall at all times
remain as to City, a wholly independent contractor. Consultant shall have no power to
incur any debt, obligation, or liability on behalf of City or otherwise act as an agent of
City. Neither City nor any of its agents shall have control over the conduct of Consultant
or any of Consultant’s employees, except as set forth in this Agreement. Consultant shall
not, at any time, or in any manner, represent that it or any of its officers, agents or
employees are in any manner employees of City. Consultant shall pay all required taxes
on amounts paid to Consultant under this Agreement, and to defend, indemnify and hold

statistical, and personnel data of individuals and City employees. Consultant covenants
that all data, documents, discussion, or other information developed or received by
Consultant or provided for performance of this Agreement are confidential and shall not
be disclosed by Consultant without prior written authorization by City. City shall grant
such authorization if applicable law requires disclosure. All City data shall be returned to
City upon the termination of this Agreement. Consultant’s covenant under this section
shall survive the termination of this Agreement. This provision shall not apply to
information in whatever form that is in the public domain, nor shall it restrict the
Consultant from giving notices required by law or complying with an order to provide
information or data when such an order is issued by a court, administrative agency or
other legitimate authority, or if disclosure is otherwise permitted by law and reasonably
necessary for the Consultant to defend itself from any legal action or claim.
10. Conflict of Interest.
10.1 Consultant covenants that it presently has no interest and shall not
acquire any interest, direct or indirect, which may be affected by the Services, or which
would conflict in any manner with the performance of the Services. Consultant further
covenants that, in performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest
shall be employed by it. Furthermore, Consultant shall avoid the appearance of having
any interest, which would conflict in any manner with the performance of the Services.
Consultant shall not accept any employment or representation during the term of this
Agreement which is or may likely make Consultant “financially interested” (as provided
in California Government Code §§1090 and 87100) in any decision made by City on any
matter in connection with which Consultant has been retained.
10.2 Consultant further represents that it has not employed or retained
any person or entity, other than a bona fide employee working exclusively for Consultant,
to solicit or obtain this Agreement. Consultant has not paid or agreed to pay any person
or entity, other than a bona fide employee working exclusively for Consultant, any fee,
commission, gift, percentage, or any other consideration contingent upon the execution of
this Agreement. Upon any breach or violation of this warranty, City shall have the right,
at its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Agreement without further liability, or
to deduct from any sums payable to Consultant hereunder the full amount or value of any
such fee, commission, percentage or gift.
10.3 Consultant has no knowledge that any officer or employee of City
has any interest, whether contractual, noncontractual, financial, proprietary, or otherwise,
in this transaction or in the business of Consultant, and that if any such interest comes to
the knowledge of Consultant at any time during the term of this Agreement, Consultant
shall immediately make a complete, written disclosure of such interest to City, even if
Page 164
PSA with Professional Liability Insurance (Non-Design) Page 7
Last Revised: 11/12/2020
such interest would not be deemed a prohibited “conflict of interest” under applicable
laws as described in subsection 10.1.
11. Indemnification.
11.1 Professional Services. In connection with its professional services,
the Consultant shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify City, and its elected officials,

3.3. Project Understanding and Approach
3.3.a Understanding
Willdan understands that the City is seeking qualified Vendors to submit a proposal response for Request for
Proposals (“RFP”) #25/26-001 for Contract Code Enforcement Officers for Weekend Code Enforcement Services in
accordance with the minimum Scope of Services and Specifications indicated in the RFP. With a proven history of
delivering code compliance solutions across California, Willdan is uniquely qualified to assist the City in maintaining
and enhancing neighborhood livability, public safety, and community aesthetics.
Our officers will address violations occurring from Friday through Sunday, with fluctuating hours based on
operational needs, complaint volume, and community events. The service will ensure that the City effectively
addresses violations that arise outside of normal weekday business hours, promoting public health, safety, and
welfare.
Willdan understands that the objective of any awarded contract is to provide timely, efficient, and consistent
enforcement of local codes and ordinances for violations occurring during weekends. This includes addressing a
wide range of issues, such as public health and safety concerns, nuisance violations, and other community
improvement matters that arise outside of regular weekday enforcement hours.
Willdan’s assigned personnel will conduct field inspections, respond to complaints, issue notices and citations as
appropriate, and maintain detailed documentation of all enforcement activities using the City’s case management
systems and forms. Our officers will address violations related to:
Blight Enforcement: Through field contact with tenants and property owners, efficiently provide guidance to
address blighted conditions such as overgrown weeds, trash, debris, inoperable vehicles, and graffiti.
Vendor Enforcement: Education and enforcement of unpermitted vending activity, generation of inspection
reports, and issue of Administrative Citations to vendors are specifically related to the enforcement of
unpermitted vending ordinances on municipality-owned or controlled property, such as parks, public rights of way
(sidewalks), and areas outside the permitted vending spaces.
Sign Enforcement: Ensuring signage, advertisements, and public notices comply with established guidelines and
regulations, fostering a well-informed and compliant community.
Rental Housing Enforcement: Assist with the routine and comprehensive inspection of residential rental
properties to ensure the overall quality of the unit meets the requirements of the Health and Safety Code and
property maintenance guidelines. This includes educating property owners, managers, and tenants about those
requirements.
Our team will be flexible in handling other code enforcement priorities as directed by the City.
Our approach emphasizes voluntary compliance through community education, supported by firm enforcement
where necessary. We are committed to upholding the City’s fairness, safety, and accountability values in every
interaction. With Willdan’s extensive municipal experience and adaptive service model, the City of Redlands can
expect professional, efficient, and results-oriented code enforcement support tailored to local needs.
Willdan’s proposal demonstrates the necessary resources to perform the intended services.

Possible Potential Challenges
Willdan is prepared to address all of the items contained in the Scope of Services in the RFP. Our only possible
potential challenges involve the availability of City staff, including Code Enforcement staff members and Law
Enforcement Officers, to assist with the embargo of vended items and assistance with public nuisance complaints
(loud parties, disturbing the peace, and unauthorized outdoor events). In the event City of Rancho Cucamonga
staff is not available to assist Willdan team members, our staff will document issues from the road right-of-way or
adjoining properties and provide our findings to City staff.
3.3.b Approach
Willdan offers unparalleled expertise in code enforcement, assisting jurisdictions in upholding and enhancing the
quality of life for their residents. Our team of seasoned professionals brings extensive experience in neighborhood
preservation, housing inspection, and code enforcement, acquired through decades of public agency service. We
specialize in designing and implementing comprehensive inspection programs that ensure public safety, foster
community involvement, and safeguard community standards through education and enforcement of municipal
codes.
Our Code Enforcement staff provide flexible services tailored to meet the specific needs of each community,
whether on an as-needed, assigned, or regular basis.
Our approach to providing service will be customer service focused, providing the following:
Provide experienced staffing familiar with all facets of code enforcement disciplines.
Staff will have PC 832, CACEO, and, in some cases, ICC certifications.
Staff will receive training to maintain their certifications and stay educated on developments in the
profession.
Willdan will provide our personnel with all necessary equipment to ensure their success as the City
requires.
Personnel will work collaboratively with City personnel to deliver services on schedule and within budget.
Our team will work to educate the public on code requirements and work with the community to achieve
voluntary compliance as much as possible.
Willdan personnel will use notices, citations, and other means of enforcement only when necessary.
The Willdan team will collaborate with the City staff to achieve community goals and ensure the City’s
program success.

Willdan’s general approach to code enforcement is the following:
Scope of Work Methods and Strategic Plan
Location + Office Hours
Willdan has 50 offices nationwide.
Willdan services will originate out of our San Bernardino Office, which is
approximately 22 miles from City Hall.
As we regularly do with our Staff Augmentation services, our proposed
personnel are prepared to work out of the City’s office and will adhere to a
regular schedule to be determined by the City.
Investigate Violations (commercial enforcement)
Our employees will adhere to the laws, statutes and protocols that govern a legal
inspection.
Staff will utilize zoning maps/GIS software to determine correct zoning.
Personnel will determine ownership through City and County records and/or
investigation through an ownership database.
Our employees will attempt to view the alleged violations from the public right-
of-way and will not perform investigations without the owner’s consent or
warrant.
Investigate Unpermitted Vending Activity
Willdan’s approach to investigating vendor activity will include collaborating with
City staff, law enforcement, environmental health, and other personnel and may
include the following:
o Vending activity on or adjacent to all City and other applicable properties.
o Inspect unpermitted vending activity for violations of standards for
maintaining access to building entrances, driveways, and parking areas.
o Vendor locations that block/limit emergency access and pedestrian mobility.
o Vendor locations that create a public nuisance, i.e., at street corners where
a crowd or vending equipment would create visual obstructions to turning
drivers.
o Garbage and discarded food blowing about or accumulating on the ground,
adding to the sanitation problems generated by this activity. o Non-compliance with generally applicable laws, including the Americans
with Disabilities Act at specific locations to the extent necessary to ensure
safe and unobstructed access along public sidewalks.
Investigate nuisances, illegal signs and rental housing conditions
Willdan will identify and address blight in the commercial and residential
corridors as directed by the City. This process will include the education and
notification of business owners and property owners for the following code
violations:
o Dangerous building conditions.
o Excessive accumulations of trash and debris in public view.
o Lack of landscaping.
o Weeds or overgrown vegetation.
o Unpermitted storage or storage containers.
o Unauthorized posting of signs on street signs, utility poles, etc.
o Improper storage of trash cans.
o Unpermitted signage or violations of the City’s sign code.
o Illegal outdoor displays.
o Other nuisances as defined in the City’s Municipal Code

Scope of Work Methods and Strategic Plan
Implement Remedial Actions
When code violations are confirmed, Willdan personnel will take all necessary
action to obtain voluntary compliance from the responsible party.
Our staff will follow the City’s policy and procedures and Municipal code
requirements regulating enforcement actions.
Our staff will issue letters and notices of violation (courtesy, regular, and final) to
resolve code matters.
Staff are prepared to issue Administrative Citations or levy civil penalties if
required by the City.
Staff will utilize all other tools such as criminal citations, criminal complaints,
stop work orders, abatement warrants, receiverships, and recordation to
eliminate code violations.
Document Inspections
Willdan staff will document each code case assigned by keeping detailed notes
of all inspections, conversations, and photographs.
It should be noted that our staff will store actual records or will upload records
into the City’s database, whichever the City prefers.
Staff will retain all correspondence, letters, or emails related to the case.
Copies of all pertinent entitlements, permits, and records will be retained in the
file.
All notices, letters, citations, orders, warrants, or other enforcement documents
will be maintained on file.
All property ownership information will be saved in the appropriate files.
Gather Evidence
Willdan personnel will gather all pertinent facts regarding the case, including
taking photographs. The information will include all evidence provided by the
reporting party, neighbors, the property owner, city records, photo
documentation and witness statements.
Personnel will review and catalog all City evidence related to the investigation.
Our employees will collect additional evidence through inspections.
Customer Service
Willdan staff undergo regular training in customer service, code compliance, and
various other areas mandated by our HR department, including topics such as
sexual harassment prevention, creating a safe work environment, and defensive
driving.
Willdan staff will receive ICC training, CACEO training courses, and other
continuing education courses.
Personnel will also be provided PC 832 refresher courses periodically.
Equipment Provision
Willdan will provide personnel with a laptop, tablet, cellphone, vehicle, and mi-fi
as required by the City.
Willdan will purchase all uniforms pants, shirts, boots and safety equipment as
required by the City.

3.3.c Options or Enhancements to the Scope of Work
With 61 years of experience, Willdan has consistently demonstrated its proficiency in delivering building and safety
services, including code enforcement, to municipalities. Our unwavering success stems from our commitment to
hiring skilled professionals, providing comprehensive training, equipping our employees with the necessary tools,
and maintaining diligent oversight by our program managers. Adhering to contract guidelines, we outline our
approach and methodology for this specific contract as follows:
Time Management
The staffing included in this proposal will be made available to the City for the contract duration.
Principal-in-Charge Albert Brady and Project Manager Scott Barber will make every effort to address the
City’s needs and make sure the staff listed in this proposal will be available to meet the needs of the
City.
Scheduling
Regardless of the demand or schedule, Willdan understands that efficient communication of project
goals and challenges is essential to capitalizing on our full resources and delivering the highest quality
and most cost-effective services to the City. Willdan offers assurance to the City that our proposed
team members will be available to the City when needed.
Staff/Client Relationships & Ability to Meet Deadlines
Willdan currently is providing Code and Building & Safety services to approximately 135 clients in
California, which keeps our staff relatively busy. However, we have over 105 code professionals on our
team and our department is continuing to grow. Willdan is 100 percent dedicated to the City’s project
and is capable of providing the City with the customer service they deserve all while meeting the
timelines outlined in this proposal. Therefore, we do not anticipate any constraints in providing services to the
City.
Willdan’s Internal Training Program for Code Personnel
In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, continuous learning is essential to
maintain a competitive edge. To foster employee development and improve
organizational performance, Willdan has implemented a comprehensive Internal Training
Program for all code personnel. This program is designed to enhance technical
competencies, develop leadership capabilities, and support professional growth. Our
management team, who provides three annual employee trainings, is composed of
certified instructors accredited by the International Code Council (ICC) as a preferred
provider, the American Association of Code Enforcement (AACE) and the California Association of Code
Enforcement Officers (CACEO).

3.4.c. Additional Information
Code Enforcement
Code enforcement services are among the most complex and challenging services that government agencies
provide. According to nationwide studies, property values, crime rates, insurance rates, business development,
and the sense of community pride can be directly impacted by the successes of a jurisdiction’s code enforcement
program. Willdan provides a variety of services in the code field to support code enforcement divisions and assist
them in achieving community goals.

SUBJECT:Consideration of a Request to Summarily Vacate a Portion of Right-of-
Way Along East Avenue Related to Project Case No. DRC2020-00438,
Located at the Southeast Corner of Banyan Street and East Avenue.
(RESOLUTION NO. 2025-095) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt and authorize the recording of the attached resolution
ordering the summary vacation of a portion of right-of-way along East Avenue related to Project
Case No. DRC2020-00438.
BACKGROUND:
On June 22, 2021, the Planning Commission approved Case No. DRC2020-00438 for the
development of a 2,641 square-foot single family residence with an attached 752 square-foot
three (3)-car garage located on the southeast corner of East Avenue and Banyan Street. The
Project was conditioned to vacate the excess right-of-way along East Avenue.
East Avenue was originally dedicated with a specific right-of-way alignment intended to
accommodate the planned roadway configuration at the time. However, subsequent planning
efforts and roadway improvements have resulted in a realignment of East Avenue that no longer
corresponds with the original dedication. The current alignment has been constructed in a manner
that renders a portion of the previously dedicated portion of the right-of-way unnecessary for
public use or future roadway expansion. As such, the original right-of-way dedication is now
considered excess and is no longer required to support the existing or planned transportation
network in the area.
ANALYSIS:
Section 8334(a) of the California Streets and Highways Code authorizes the City to summarily
vacate (by Resolution with no public hearing) vacate excess right-of-way of a street or highway
not required for street and highway purposes.
The adoption of the attached resolution would summarily vacate approximately 6,900 square feet
of excess right-of-way along East Avenue and will further authorize the City Clerk to record the
resolution with the County Recorder’s Office. The excess public right-of-way is currently not being
used to accommodate current traffic volumes and is not required for future traffic volumes.

Furthermore, it has been determined that no other current or future public uses for the right-of-
way are anticipated.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:

SECTION 5: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND MERIT INCREASE
Annual performance reviews have been replaced with professional development plans
and at least two (2) ongoing coaching check-ins per year.
The City has formed a committee of all bargaining groups who agreed to change. 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.
RCMA employees on or starting a probationary period would be eligible to receive up to
five percent (5%) through the term of their probationary period per the Personnel Rules
and are then 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:
• No later than the first and second week of November – Employee fills 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 determine.
• 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 five percent (5%), but no
greater than top step. The change will be reflected in the first full pay period the following
February. Employees at the top step of their salary range will be eligible to receive a non-
PERSable stipend of $500, paid in conjunction with the check for the first full pay period
in February. There is no retroactivity for Plans not timely submitted. Employees on a
performance improvement plan as of December will not be eligible for a merit increase or
stipend.
SECTION 6: MANAGEMENT BENEFITS
Employees designated as Management are not eligible for overtime pay, or
compensatory time for working hours over and above the normal daily work schedule.
Employees shall be entitled to the benefits below:
Page 234

A. Management Leave – Eighty-five (85) hours per fiscal year. Days off must be
approved by appropriate supervisor.
B. Life Insurance – The City provides $50,000 base coverage of life insurance for
bargaining unit employees. Employees who want to purchase additional life
insurance coverage with personal funds may do so at the City’s group rate.
C. Deferred Compensation
457 Plan – Bargaining unit members may contribute to the 457 Plan. The City
matches up to 2% of what the employee contributes into their 457 Plan through
payroll deductions, into the 401(a) Plan.
Participation in the 457 Plan at two percent (2%) for new bargaining unit members
shall be automatic with an opt-out option.
401(a) Plan – The City contributes four percent (4%) of base salary paid into the
401(a) Plan for all RCMA employees.
D. Technology Reimbursement
The City shall provide reimbursement for employee to procure ancillary
technology devices and related peripherals in support of their positions up to a
maximum of $1,000 per fiscal year amount. Approved devices and peripherals
shall be determined by the Human Resources Department.
The City will no longer provide employees a phone stipend or any ancillary
technological devices, other than a desktop or laptop computer for his/her
workstation as is provided to most City employees for their daily use. Devices
procured under the reimbursement program must be made available for work
related activities. Reimbursed devices are exclusive to the employee for
personal and City related use and may not be transferred to another user within
24 months of being purchased.
SECTION 7: HEALTH INSURANCE
A. Level of Benefit
The City shall provide employee and family health insurance for all full -time
continuous salaried employees within the bargaining unit, subject to the limitation

Page 235

Effective the first full pay period in December 2026, monthly amount will increase
to $1,550.
Effective the first full pay period in December 2027, monthly amount will increase
to $1,600.
B. Use of Accrued Vacation for Above City-Paid Contribution Maximum
Health Insurance
Employees who elect a health insurance program with a premium above the City-
paid contribution maximum may also elect to use the cash value of redeemed
accrued vacation to pay for any above maximum premium. Such use will be on
a dollar-for dollar and pre-tax basis. Such election must be made in writing, may
cover all or a specified part over the maximum premium, and be effective for one
calendar year unless the participant terminates employment with the City during
the year (see Appendix A for complete info rmation on this optional benefit). If
accrued vacation is insufficient to pay for any above maximum premium, the
difference will be deducted from the employee’s net pay. This periodic payout will
not be included in the computation of overtime and will not counts towards
Vacation Buyback. The parties agree that this position will not be used when
bargaining, contemplating, or calculating the health insurance benefit.
C. Cash In-Lieu Payment
Represented employees who wish to waive coverage under a City-paid medical
insurance plan, are eligible for this benefit and may opt out of medical insurance,
as long as they meet the ACA requirements stated in section C1 and C2.
Employees eligible for this benefit shall receive $300 per month cash -in-lieu
payment.
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.
Page 236

D. Affordable Care Act Reopener
The Rancho Cucamonga Management Association 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.
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
Page 237
9
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: 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 employees with
planning for future health care expenses. Employees are allowed a onetime 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 provisions. 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 10: DENTAL INSURANCE
The City shall provide a dental insurance plan for all full-time continuous salaried
employees and beneficiaries within the bargaining unit.
SECTION 11: OPTICAL INSURANCE
The City shall provide an optical insurance plan for all full-time continuous salaried
employees and beneficiaries within the bargaining unit and elected officials.
SECTION 12: FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT PLAN UNDER SECTION 125
The City has established a flexible spending account plan managed by a third -party
administrator that is open to voluntary participation of members in the bargaining unit. The
City agrees to pick up all administrative fees associated with maintaining this program for
bargaining unit members (including but not limited to debit card fees).
SECTION 13: 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" and "Tier 2"), or in the two

The City adopted a resolution providing that all employee CalPERS contributions
shall be deducted on a pre-tax basis to the extent permitted by law or IRS regulation.
All employee payments of the employer share are done pursuant to Government
Code Section 20516(f).
There shall be no sunset date to any provision in Section 13.
D. PEPRA – Employees hired on or After January 1, 2013*
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 or any MOU, Agreement, Rule or Regulation
predating 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 an initial 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 one

compensation earned by the member during a period of at least 36 consecutive

based on "pensionable compensation" (Section 7522.10) rather than
"compensation earnable" (Section 20636).
E. In addition, the City has adopted the PARS Retirement Enhancement Plan
generally described as one-half percent (.5%) 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 10

SECTION 21: SICK LEAVE BUYBACK AND EARLY RETIREMENT
NOTIFICATION INCENTIVE
If employees within the bargaining unit terminate their City employment after five (5) years
of continuous service, the City will buyback 130 hours of sick time if they provide at least
two (2) weeks written notice of their intent to separate.
If employees provide early notification of their intent to retire from the City, the City will
pay employees for additional accrued sick leave hours in accordance with the schedule
below. Notification 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 twelve months
(365 calendar days*) 100 hours additional sick leave buyback
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
Page 243
15
employee’s retirement date will not be counted toward the required notification periods in the
schedule above.
SECTION 22: HOLIDAYS
Employees receive the following 14 holidays. All full time continuous salaried employees
shall be compensated at their regular rate for these days:
(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
(6) December 24 Day preceding Christmas
(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) Three discretionary days may be taken by an employee at his/her
convenience subject to approval of the supervisor. 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 (2) consecutive days are holidays and
it would result in the City Hall being open to serve the public only two (2) days
during the week, only one (1) of the holidays will be observed and the other
holiday will become a floating holiday, except as provided during a Holiday Closure
pursuant to Section 38. 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. 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 Years. 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 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.
Page 244
16
SECTION 23: HOLIDAY TIME
The City agrees that employees 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 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: HOLIDAY FACILITY CLOSURE
During the term of this MOU, there will be Holiday Facility Closures, 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 of 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,
management leave, compensatory time, vacation accruals, personal leave, or use
unpaid leave. When holiday closures are implemented by the City, Section 22's
provision regarding consecutive holidays shall not apply.
SECTION 25: NATAL AND ADOPTION LEAVE WITHOUT PAY
The City shall provide employees within the bargaining unit up to four (4) months natal
and adoption leave for the birth or adoption of a child including the paid leave as outlined
below; such leave shall be pursuant to the provisions of the California Pregnancy
Disability Act ("PDA"; California Government Code Section 12945), 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 26: NATAL AND ADOPTION LEAVE WITH PAY
Employees within the bargaining unit are granted up to 120 hours of natal and adoption
leave with pay for the birth or adoption of a child, however, use of the 120 paid hours
does not extend any time charged under FMLA or CFRA. Any paid time required beyond
this initial 120 hours must be charged to sick leave, vacation, compensatory or floating
holiday time.
SECTION 27: WORKERS COMPENSATION LEAVE
Any employee 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 (3) months of such disability absence, payments in an amount equal to the
Page 245
17
difference between the disability payments received under Workers Compensation
Act and the 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 day of such disability absence. In the event
the employee's disability absence should exceed three (3) 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 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 required to serve military leave will be compensated pursuant to the
Military and Veterans Code. To qualify for compensation, the military orders must be
submitted to the supervisor prior to their tour of duty and must be attached to the

month. Each Department Head will determine the number of employees needed to perform
translation duties per department, subject to review and approval of the City Manager or
designee. Employees who receive bilingual pay are expected to perform translation
services for their department and for other City Services should the need arise. An
updated list of the employees receiving bilingual pay will be provided every six-months or
as changes occur. Bilingual duties will be distributed as equitable as possible.
SECTION 31: 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 $7,000 during any fiscal year. Eligibility for said
reimbursement in an amount not to exceed $7,000 in any one (1) 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 as regards coursework undertaken at a college
or university that is licensed/accredited by one (1) of the six (6) regional
accreditors involved in higher education accreditation in the United States.
B. The applicant for reimbursement shall represent to Human Resources,
documentation prepared by the accredited/licensed college or university which
Page 246
18
evidences the applicant's receipt of a grade of "C" or "pass" in a pass/fail class. 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 their 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 their 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, receipts shall be provided to Human Resources

Department Head must be applied equally to all employees in that classification.
SECTION 33: 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

Page 247
19
or has an interview but is not selected for the job, the employee is encouraged to request
feedback from their supervisor as to reasons why they were not selected. The supervisor
will work 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 check their City email account regularly for
information regarding promotional opportunities.
SECTION 34: RECOVERY OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COSTS

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 req uests
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

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU)
BETWEEN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA AND
EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEE GROUP
SECTION 1: EFFECTIVE DATE
The provisions of this MOU are effective January 1, 2026, and shall continue for an 18-
month period, ending June 30, 2027.
SECTION 2: COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT
Effective the first full pay period in January 2026, all Executive Management Group
covered employees will receive a 2% cost of living adjustment.
Effective the first full pay period in December 2026, all Executive Management Group
covered employees will receive a 2% cost of living adjustment.
Effective the first full pay period in June 2027, all Executive Management Group
covered employees will receive a 2% cost of living adjustment.
SECTION 3: SALARY STRUCTURE AND SALARY SURVEY
Executive Management employees will be assigned to salary ranges, which are no less
than 20% below the control point and no more than 15 % 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.
A.In order to prevent compaction issues, the top step of every Executive Management
Covered employee's salary range should be a minimum of 5% above the top step of
the available salary range of any subordinate employee as determined by the City
Manager. Human Resources will review compaction issues each year taking into
account any changes in salary ranges due to increases in control points, top steps
and cost of living adjustments.
B.Effective the first full pay period in January 2026, adjustments to the bottom and top
of the classification salary ranges will occur as outlined below:
Page 258

These changes to the salary ranges do not affect employee pay unless an employee is now
paid less than the bottom of the range. In that case, the employee would move up to the
new bottom of the range. In addition, those currently at top step would see increases in the first
full pay period in February per the MOU MAP process.
C. During the first six months of the MOU, the Executive Management Employee
Group (EMG) and the City will work cooperatively to agree on an updated salary
survey that may, but is not limited to, include new survey cities, surveyed
positions, and benchmarking. If EMG and the City do not reach an agreement by
the end of June 2026, the existing survey based on accepted past practice will
remain in place. Both parties agree to biweekly meetings during that period to
work cooperatively on this matter.
D. All classifications within the Executive Management Group (EMG) that are not
surveyed are benchmarked to a surveyed classification. The benchmarking
determines the relationship of the position to the market based on the salary survey.
Future classifications may align with an existing benchmark classification, or an
additional benchmark classification may be proposed that includes future
classifications, as mutually agreed upon by the City and the EMG. If more than half
of the survey cities have a comparable position, then benchmarked positions would
then be surveyed.
The following positions will be surveyed:
City Clerk Services Director, Community Services Director, Eng ineering Services
Director/City Engineer, Finance Director, Human Resources Director, Innovation and
Technology Director, Library Director.
The benchmark classifications are outlined below (surveyed positions are underlined
and followed by the position(s) benchmarked to the survey position):
Community Services Director – Public Works Services Director
Page 259
3
Eng Services Director/City Engineer – Building and Safety Services Director, Economic
Development Director, Engagement and Special Programs Director, and Planning
Director
Human Resources Director – Organizational Development Director
Library Director – Animal Services Director
Example of how benchmarking works:
The City conducts the survey of the positions noted above.
Let’s assume the survey shows the Engineering Services Director/City Engineer is 5%
below market.
By using the agreed upon benchmarking, the Building and Safety Services Director,
Economic Development Director, Engagement and Special Programs Director, and
Planning Director would also be found to be 5% below market.
This information helps the City and bargaining unit understand where these positions
that are not surveyed are in relationship to the marketplace. The benchmarking and the
survey are for informational purposes only.
SECTION 4: EXECUTIVE BENEFITS
Employees designated as Executive Management are not eligible for overtime pay, or

(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 provide the 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 the conditions in this
paragraph are not otherwise satisfied.
C. Affordable Care Act (ACA) Reopener
The 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 in the amount the
City provides for employee health coverage.
SECTION 6: 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 funded without any City
contribution, participation in a group health insurance program(s) which is making group
health insurance available to the City's retirees and eligible dependent.
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.
Page 262

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 or eligible dependent.
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 7: DENTAL INSURANCE
The City shall provide a dental insurance plan for all full-time continuous salaried employees
and their qualifying dependents.

maintaining this program for bargaining unit members (including but not limited to debit card
fees.)
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 employees with
planning for future health care expenses.
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 provisions. No Employer
contributions are to be made to the plan. At the discretion of the Executive Management

the extent permitted by law, this is special compensation and shall be reported as
such pursuant to Title 2 CCR, Section 571(a)(1)(F) as Value of Employer-Paid
Member Contributions. The parties also agree that the City has no additional
obligation or costs should CalPERS, the State or the IRS determine

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 or any MOU, Agreement, Rule or
Regulation predating 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 an
initial 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 one percent (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 two percent (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).

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

SECTION 12: VACATION
All full-time employees shall, with continuous service, accrue working hours of vacation
monthly according to the following schedule. In order to compete for talented Executive
Staff, the City Manager may provide an accrual rate for new Executive Management
Group covered employees up to the equivalent of a ten-year employee upon hire. This
is important as many experienced candidates have significant time in the public sector
and might have to begin at a much lower accrual rate than they receive at their current
Agency.

SECTION 13: VACATION BUYBACK
Annually, any employee that wants to have the City buy back 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
buy back of 20 hours up to a maximum of 200 hours. This buy back shall occur twice
annually, in June/July (between the last payday in June and the first pay day 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 14: VACATION CAP
Effective December 2020, and every subsequent December, any employee with more than
1,040 hours of accrued vacation time will have their accrued vacation lowered to 1,040
hours and the cash equivalent of those hours above 1,040 will be deposited into their VEBA
Page 266
10
account in April of the following year.
Example: Joe has 1,140 hours of accrued vacation in December 2020; his accrued vacation
is lowered to 1,040 hours and the cash equivalent of 100 hours of vacation time is
transferred to his VEBA account in April 2021.
SECTION 15: HOLIDAYS
Employees receive the following 14 holidays. All full-time continuous salaried employees
shall be compensated at their regular rate for these days:
(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
(6) December 24 Day preceding Christmas
(7) December 25 Christmas Day

(12) Three discretionary days may be taken by an employee at his/her convenience
subject to approval of the supervisor. 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 (2) consecutive days are holidays and it would result in the City Hall being open to
serve the public only two (2) days during the week, only one (1) 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 Years, 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 who are eligible to bank a holiday have until June 30 (end of fiscal year) to use the
Page 267
11
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 16: HOLIDAY FACILITY CLOSURE

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 of 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, management leave, vacation accruals,
personal leave, or use unpaid leave. When holiday closures are implemented by the
City, Section 15’s provision regarding consecutive holidays shall not apply.
SECTION 17: BEREAVEMENT LEAVE

or holiday time as personal leave. These 40 hours can be used incrementally (i.e.,
1hour, 1/2 hour) throughout the fiscal year. Use of this time is for situations requiring
the employee's attention and needs to be cleared with their supervisor when using this
time.

A. Expenses shall be incurred as regards coursework undertaken at a college or
university that is licensed/accredited by the State of California, and Colleges and
Universities accredited by any of the six (6) regional higher education accreditors
in the United States. The applicant for reimbursement shall present to the Human

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
Page 271
15
as appropriate, pro-rated to reflect no reimbursement being made for expenses
related to classes where the minimal grade was not received).
B. 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.
C. Eligibility for reimbursement upon completion of coursework shall be predicated
upon the employee's department head or their 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 City Manager or their designee in such regards shall be final.
D. 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

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
Page 272
16
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 29: ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW MODIFICATION
Annual performance reviews have been replaced with professional development plan and
at least 2 ongoing coaching check-ins per year. 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 a
committee that includes EMG participation at least every three years to assure their
usefulness for employees and supervisors.
New EMG employees are eligible to receive a merit increase during their first year with the
City and promoted EMG employees are eligible to receive a merit increase during their first
six months in their new role. They would then be eligible for the development plan review
increase as long as their first-year or six-month anniversary respectively was prior to the
end of November (ex. A New employee hired in March through November would be eligible
for the upcoming February increase. An employee hired in 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:
• No later than the first and second Week of November – Employee fills 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 determine.
• 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.
Employees at the top step of their salary range will be eligible to receive a stipend of
$500 (non-PERSable), paid in conjunction with the check from the first full pay period in
February. There is no retroactivity for Plans not timely submitted. Employees on a
performance improvement plan as of December will not be eligible for a merit increase or
stipend.

SECTION 30: SEVERANCE
All Executive employees are at-will employees who may be terminated with or without
cause, and who have no appeal rights.
Executive employees with over one (1) year of continuous employment with the City from
July 1, 2022, who are terminated, will be eligible to receive severance pay of 90 calendar
days of their base salary if the terminated employee voluntarily executes a Compromise
and Release Agreement, which includes a waiver of all claims against the City and/or
challenges to their termination, within ten (10) calendar days of receiving notice of
termination.
Executive employees with over five (5) years (60+ months) of continuous employment with
the City from July 1, 2022, who are terminated, will be eligible to receive severance pay of
120 calendar days of their base salary if the terminated employee voluntarily executes a
Compromise and Release Agreement, which includes a waiver of all claims against the City
and/or challenges to their termination, within ten (10) calendar days of receiving notice of
termination.
Employees are not required to execute the Compromise and Release Agreement since it is
an agreement, and its execution is totally voluntary on the part of the employee. However,
it is a condition of receiving the severance pay. The severance pay is consideration for the
Agreement.

GUIDELINES SECTION 15282(H) AND 15061(B)(3)
A. RECITALS
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
1. The City of Rancho Cucamonga (the “City”), has prepared Municipal Code Amendment,
as described in the title of this Ordinance. Hereinafter in this Ordinance, the subject
Municipal Code Amendment is referred to as “the amendment.”
2. The City is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the
State of California.
3. As shown in Exhibit A of this Ordinance, the amendment proposes to amend Chapter
17.100 of Article V of Title 17 of the Municipal Code to update the regulations regarding
Accessory Dwelling Units (“ADUs”) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (“JADUs”).
4. Portions of the City’s current regulations for ADUs and JADUs require amendment to
remain consistent with State Law. Hereinafter in this Ordinance, the subject Municipal
Code Amendment is referred to as the “Amendments.”
5. Senate Bill (“SB”) 477, effective March 25, 2024, amended Accessory Dwelling Unit Law
(“ADU Law”) (formerly Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22) (now Chapter
13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code), which reorganized ADU Law and has
led to references to ADU Law in the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code to be no longer
applicable.
6. Additionally, the State of California adopted amendments to Government Code Sections
66313, 66314, and 66323, altogether known as SB 1211, effective January 1, 2025, which
further amend standards and requirements for ADUs and JADUs.
7. Moreover, Assembly Bill (“AB”) 2533 prohibits the City from denying a permit for an
unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, unless a finding
can be made that correcting the violation is necessary to comply with conditions that
would otherwise deem a building substandard under Section 17920.3 of the Health and
Safety Code. This law also specifies the City’s obligations to inform the public of this
prohibition, the prohibition to require a homeowner to pay impact fees, and the prohibition
against penalizing an applicant for having an unpermitted ADU or JADU.
8. On October 22, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a noticed public hearing with respect to the Amendments and, following the
Page 277
Ordinance No. 1049 – Page 2 of 11
conclusion thereof, adopted Resolution No. 2025-035 recommending that the City
Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopt the Amendments.
9. On November 19, 2025, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a
noticed public hearing on the Amendments and concluded said hearing on that date.
10. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
B. ORDINANCE
The City Council finds the foregoing recitals and their findings to be true and correct and hereby
incorporates such recitals and their findings into this Ordinance.
SECTION 1. Findings. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during
the above-referenced public hearing, this Council hereby finds and concludes that the changes
proposed to Title 17 (Development Code) in the Amendments are consistent with the Development
Code and the General Plan’s goals, policies and implementation programs. Pursuant to Section
17.22.040(C) of the Municipal Code, amendments to the Municipal Code “may be approved only
when the [C]ity [C]ouncil finds that the Development Code/zoning map amendment[s] [are]
consistent with the [G]eneral [P]lan goals, policies, and implementation programs.” The
Amendments are consistent with the following Housing Element program:
• General Plan Housing Goal H-1 strategizes for a diverse community with a broad
range of housing types and opportunities to accommodate expected new households.
Specifically, Policy H-1.1 is to encourage the development of wide range of housing
options, types, and prices that will enable the City to achieve its share of the Regional
Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA); Policy H-1.2 is to recognize the unique
characteristics of elderly and disabled households and address their special needs;
and Policy H-1.3 is to facilitate the development of ADUs to provide additional housing
opportunities pursuant to State law and established zoning regulations.
• General Plan Housing Goal H-4 promotes a community with quality, healthy housing,
and Policy H-4.2 is to encourage the revitalization and rehabilitation of substandard
residential structures.
• General Plan Housing Goal H-5 aims for a city with an efficient process for improving
and developing housing. Specifically, Policy H-5.4 is to evaluate and adjust as
appropriate residential development standards, regulations, and processing
procedures that are determined to constrain housing development, particularly
housing opportunities for lower- and moderate-income households and for persons
with special needs.
SECTION 2. CEQA. The proposed Amendments (the “Project”) are exempt from or not
subject to the requirements of CEQA, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(h),
which establishes a statutory exemption for the adoption of an ordinance regarding second
units in a single-family or multifamily residential zone by a city to implement the provisions of
Sections 65852.1, Article 2 (commencing with Section 66314) or Article 3 (commencing with
Section 66333) of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, as set forth in
Section 21080.17 of the Public Resources Code. In addition, the City Council finds that the
Ordinance is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that amendments
to the City’s ADU and JADU regulations in accordance with State Law will have a significant
effect on the environment.
Page 278
Ordinance No. 1049 – Page 3 of 11
SECTION 3. Action. The City Council hereby amends Chapter 17.100 (Accessory Dwelling
Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units) of Article I (In General) of Title 17 (Development
Code) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code in its entirety, to read as shown in Exhibit A of
this Ordinance, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The Amendments
have 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”).
SECTION 4. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this
Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of
any competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of
this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, and
each and every section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase not declared invalid or
unconstitutional without regard to whether any portion of the Ordinance would be subsequently
declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 5. Effect of Ordinance. This Ordinance is intended to supersede any ordinance,
resolution, and administrative regulations of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted by the City
Council in conflict with the terms of this Ordinance.
SECTION 6. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect 30 days after the date of its
adoption. The City Clerk is directed to cause this Ordinance to be published and/or posted as
required by law.
SECTION 7. 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.
SECTION 8. Submission of Ordinance to HCD. In compliance with Government Code
Section 66326, the Planning Director is hereby directed to submit a copy of this Ordinance to the
Department of Housing and Community Development within sixty (60) days after adoption.
SECTION 9. 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.

17.100.010 Purpose.
Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) are a valuable form
of housing in the City. These units meet the City's General Plan housing policies related to the
development of a variety of housing options, including ones that serve the unique needs of elderly
and disabled households; rehabilitation of deteriorating housing units, providing housing stock
accessible to lower- and moderate-income households; and meeting the City's share of regional
housing needs.
The purpose of this Chapter is to establish development standards for the construction and
operation of ADUs and JADUs on lots zoned to allow single-family or multi-family residential use,
including mixed-use zones, in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of State Law.
17.100.020 Applicability.
The provisions of this Chapter apply to all lots that are zoned to allow single-family or multi-family
residential use. ADUs shall be deemed to be an accessory single-family residential use consistent
with the General Plan and zoning designations for the lot.
ADUs are defined as an attached or detached residential dwelling unit that provides complete,
independent living facilities for one or more persons, and is located on a lot with an existing or
proposed primary dwelling. It shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating,
cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel as the single-family or multi-family dwelling is, or will
be, situated.
JADUs are defined as a unit that is no more than 500 square feet in size and contained entirely
within a single-family residence. A JADU may include separate sanitation facilities or may share
sanitation facilities with the existing structure.
17.100.030 Approval required.
A. A building permit is required for the construction of ADUs and JADUs, which must satisfy the
requirements of the California Building Standards Code, Government Code Title 7 Division 1
Chapter 13, and the Chapter herein.

C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter to the contrary, no minor exception from
any requirement of this Chapter shall be approved, nor shall any application for such a minor
exception be accepted for processing.
D. Where a building permit application for an ADU or JADU is submitted with an application for
a single-family dwelling or multi-family dwelling that is subject to discretionary review under
this Chapter, the ADU or JADU application will be considered separately without discretionary
review or public hearing, following the approval of the main dwelling unit(s).
E. Pre-approved ADU plans are available on the City’s website under the Building and Safety
Department page. An application for a preapproved detached ADU plan must be approved or
denied within 30 days within the current triennial California Building Standards Code
rulemaking cycle or a plan that is identical to a plan used in an application for a detached ADU
approved within the current triennial California Building Standards Code rulemaking cycle.
17.100.040 General allowances.
There are four categories of ADUs and JADUs in Government Code Section 66323 that are
subject to the standards set forth in Title 7 Division 1 Chapter 13 Article 2 of the Government

of 10 feet.
4. When a required garage, carport, or covered parking structure for the main dwelling is
converted or demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU, replacement of
parking spaces that are eliminated by the construction of the ADU shall not be required
as long as the ADU remains in use as a legal ADU.

include all the following:
i. Delineation of all areas of the property that are for the exclusive use of a cotenant.
Each cotenant shall agree not to claim a right of occupancy to an area delineated
for the exclusive use of another cotenant, provided that the latter cotenant’s
obligations to each of the other cotenants have been satisfied.
ii. Delineation of each cotenant’s responsibility for the costs of taxes, insurance,
utilities, general maintenance and repair, improvements, and any other costs,

service to the primary dwelling, the ADU has a separate water, sewer, or electrical
connection to that utility.

separate from the primary dwelling as a condominium. However, it does not imply it is
allowed outside of meeting all the conditions in this section.
B. Rental Terms. Any rental of an ADU or JADU shall be for a period exceeding 30 consecutive
days.
C. Owner Occupancy for JADUs. The owner must reside in either the remaining portion of the
primary dwelling or in the newly created JADU. Owner occupancy shall not be required when
the owner is another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.
17.100.100 Existing nonconforming units.
A. Notwithstanding any other law, and except as provided in subsection B, the City will not deny

Chapter 5 Article 1 of the Health and Safety Code.

necessary to comply with the standards identified in Section 17920.3 of the Health and Safety

submitting a building permit application.
D. A homeowner applying for a permit for a previously unpermitted ADU or JADU constructed
before January 1, 2020, shall not be required to pay impact fees or connection or capacity
charges except when utility infrastructure is required to comply with Section 17920.3 of the
Health and Safety Code and when the fee is authorized by subdivision (e) of Section 66324
of the Government Code.
E. Subject to compliance with Section 17920.3 of the Health and Safety Code, upon receiving
an application to permit a previously unpermitted ADU or JADU constructed before January
1, 2020, an inspector may inspect the unit for compliance with health and safety standards
and provide recommendations to comply with code that may be necessary to obtain a permit.
Should the inspector find noncompliance with health and safety standards, the City shall not
penalize the applicant for having the unpermitted ADU or JADU and will approve necessary
permits to correct noncompliance with health and safety standards.”

COMMITTEE, APPROVING A MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT
TO AMEND SECTION 12.20.080 OF CHAPTER 12.20 OF TITLE
12 AND SECTIONS 17.20.020 AND 17.20.040 OF TITLE 17 OF
THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ELIMINATE REFERENCES TO THE
TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE, AND MAKING A FINDING OF
EXEMPTION FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 15061(B)(3) AND
15378(B)(5)
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 a municipal corporation, duly
organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California.
B. Policy H-5.1 of the City of Rancho Cucamonga 2021-2029 Housing Element states
that the City will consider new policies, codes and procedures that have the potential to reduce
procedural delays, provide information early in the development process regarding development
costs, and charge only those fees necessary to adequately carry out needed public services and
improvements. Program HE-10 of the City of Rancho Cucamonga 2021-2029 Housing Element
states that the City will continue to evaluate and improve the permit processing procedures to
facilitate residential development. Additionally, one of the City’s pro-housing designation
commitments is to streamline the processing of housing development applications through the
reduction in the number of public meetings required.
C. The Trails Advisory Committee is an advisory committee of the City Council of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga, subject to the Ralph M. Brown Act (Gov. Code, § 54950), that is tasked
with discussing and providing recommendations to the City Council on the development of the City's
trail system and trail design standards. Since the establishment of the Committee in 1981, the
Committee has also been tasked with reviewing and make recommendations to the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga regarding trail locations and the application of trail
design standards for development proposals within the City. The Committee, however, has not met
in nearly two years.
D. In accordance with Policy H-5.1, Program HE-10 and the City’s pro-housing
designation commitments, the City desires to dissolve the Trails Advisory Committee. The
dissolution of the Committee will streamline the City’s processing of housing development
applications through the elimination of a public meeting before the Committee and the elimination
of duplicate reviews since the City has adopted a trails implementation plan that sets forth the
standards for the development of trails by project applicants.
E. Additionally, the City is proposing amendments to the Municipal Code to eliminate
references to the Trails Advisory Committee. The City has prepared Municipal Code Amendment
DRC2025-00254, as described in the title of this Ordinance, which include amendments to the City’s
Development Code. Hereinafter in this Ordinance, the subject Municipal Code Amendment is
referred to as the “Amendments”.
Page 289
Ordinance No. 1050 - Page 2 of 7
F. On October 22, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a noticed continued public hearing with respect to the Amendments and, following the
conclusion thereof, adopted Resolution No. 2025-034 recommending that the City Council of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga adopt the Amendments.
G. On ________ ____, 2025, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a noticed public hearing on the Amendments and concluded said hearing on that date.
H. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
Section 2. Ordinance.
A. Recitals. The City Council finds the foregoing recitals and their findings to be true
and correct, and hereby incorporates such recitals and their findings into this Ordinance.
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 changes
proposed to Title 17 (Development Code) in the Amendments are consistent with the Development
Code and the General Plan’s goals, policies and implementation programs. Pursuant to Section
17.22.040(C) of the Municipal Code, amendments to the Municipal Code “may be approved only
when the [C]ity [C]ouncil finds that the Development Code/zoning map amendment[s] [are]
consistent with the [G]eneral [P]lan goals, policies, and implementation programs.” The
Amendments are consistent with the following Housing Element Goal:
a) H-5.1: Development Review Processes. The City will consider new
policies, codes and procedures that have the potential to reduce procedural delays, provide
information early in the development process regarding development costs, and charge only those
fees necessary to adequately carry out needed public services and improvements
2) The Amendments have 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 dissolution of the Trails Advisory Committee and the proposed
Amendments (the “Project”) are exempt from or not subject to the requirements of CEQA and the
State CEQA Guidelines pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(5)
because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that either the Committee dissolution
or the proposed Amendments, eliminating references to the dissolved Trails Advisory Committee
within the Municipal Code, will not have a significant effect on the environment, and because the
Project constitutes and administrative process of the City and/or organizational and administrative
activities of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. The
City Council has reviewed the administrative record concerning the Committee dissolution and the
proposed Amendments and the proposed CEQA determination, and based on its own independent
judgment, finds that the Committee dissolution and the Amendments set forth in this Ordinance are
not subject to, or exempt from, the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections
15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(5).
D. The City Council hereby dissolves the Trails Advisory Committee effective upon the
effective date of this Ordinance.
Page 290
Ordinance No. 1050 - Page 3 of 7
E. The City Council hereby amends Subsection (B) of Section 12.20.080 (Performance
Measures and Implementation) of Chapter 12.20 (Complete Street Program) of Title 12 (Streets,
Sidewalks, and Public Places) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code to read as shown in
Exhibit A of this Ordinance, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
F. The City Council hereby amends Section 17.04.020 (Planning Agency) of Article I
(In General) of Title 17 (Development Code) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code to delete
Subsection (C) and renumber Subsections (D) through (G) to Subsections (C) through (F),
respectively, to read as shown in Exhibit A of this Ordinance, attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference.
G. The City Council hereby amends Subsection (C)(3) of Section 17.20.040 (Major
Design Review) of Chapter 17.20 (Planning Commission Decisions) of Article II (Land Use and
Development Procedures) of Title 17 (Development Code) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal
Code to read as shown in Exhibit A of this Ordinance, attached hereto and incorporated herein by
this reference.
Section 3. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance
is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of any competent
jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.
The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, and each and every
section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase not declared invalid or unconstitutional without
regard to whether any portion of the Ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
Section 4. Effect of Ordinance. This Ordinance is intended to supersede any ordinance,
resolution, and administrative regulations of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted by the City
Council and the Planning Commission in conflict with the terms of this Ordinance.
Section 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect 30 days after the date of its adoption.
The City Clerk is directed to cause this Ordinance to be published and/or posted as required by law.
Section 6. 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.
Section 7. 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.

CALIFORNIA, REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 89 ADOPTING A
DESIGN REVIEW PROCEDURE WHICH ESTABLISHES A
DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE AND DESIGN REVIEW
CRITERIA
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
A. In 1979 the City Council of the City Rancho Cucamonga (“City”) adopted
Ordinance 89 and the City’s Planning Commission adopted Resolution 79-61, both collectively
establishing the Design Review Committee as an advisory body to the Planning Commission
and City Council and applicable governing regulations in order to support the implementation of
the General Plan.
B. The Design Review Committee is a recommending body with the authority to
review architectural and site plan elements as defined by Municipal Code Section 17.04.020.
The Design Review Committee has further been operating under the guidance of established
documentation such as Rancho Cucamonga’s 2023 Boards/Commissions/Committees Staff
Liaison Handbook.
C. In order to better define the role of the Design Review Committee considering
recent changes to State law governing land use and land development procedures, City staff
have prepared draft administrative regulations, otherwise referred to as the DRC Bylaws.
Planning Commission Resolution 2025-033 repealed the previous Planning Commission
Resolution 79-61.
D. On October 22, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga considered the proposed DRC Bylaws, and following the receipt of public comment,
adopted Resolution No. 2025-033 approving the DRC Bylaws and repealing Planning
Commission Resolution 79-61.
E. The City Council desires to repeal Ordinance No. 89, as the Planning
Commission’s adoption of the DRC Bylaws by adoption of Resolution No. 2025-033 now provide
the governing regulations for the Design Review Committee.
Section 2. Ordinance.
A. Recitals. The City Council finds the foregoing recitals and their findings to be true
and correct, and hereby incorporates such recitals and their findings into this Ordinance.
B. Ordinance No. 89 (An Ordinance of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, California,
Adopting a Design Review Procedure Which Establishes a Design Review Committee and
Design Review Criteria) is hereby repealed in its entirety.
Attachment 1
Page 297
Ordinance No. 1051 Page 2 of 3
Section 3. CEQA. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the
City’s local CEQA Guidelines, the City Council finds that adoption of this Ordinance is covered
by general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a
significant effect on the environment. The City Council finds that there is no possible significant
effect directly related to adoption of this Ordinance, therefore no further action is required under
CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR § 15061(b)(3)).
This is because this Ordinance will result in no potential development that could have an
environmental impact.
Section 4.Severability. The City Council declares that, should any section, subsection,
subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance for any reason be held 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 thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections,
subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid
or unconstitutional.
Section 5.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.
Section 6. 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.

and Consider a Resolution Approving Such New, Amended, and
Repealed Service and User Fees. (RESOLUTION NO. 2025-097) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1.Conduct a public hearing on the proposed new, amended, and repealed fees;
2.Adopt a Resolution to establish new fees, repeal outdated fees, and amend certain
existing fees for Citywide service and user fees
BACKGROUND:
The City can impose fees under the authority granted by California Government Code Section
66000 et. seq. Fees are allowed to be imposed to recover costs associated with the provision of
specific services benefiting the user, thereby reducing the use of General Fund monies for such
purposes. To impose fees, the City must hold at least one public hearing as part of a regularly
scheduled meeting to allow for public comment on the proposed fees.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga has established fees by authority of the Municipal Code, City
Ordinances, City Resolutions, City development/funding agreements, and State and Federal
statutes. As a matter of routine, City departments typically revisit fees at least once per year to
ensure that small adjustments can be made over time to keep up with operational and construction
Page 300

5
costs. Additionally, to reduce the number of fees brought before the City Council annually, certain
fees are adjusted annually by applying a fee escalator approved by prior resolutions. Further, the
City Council has by longstanding practice sought to recover from new development, as close to
100% of actual costs, through fees, as is practical.
This report covers requests for revisions to fees for the following departments: Building & Safety,
Community Services, Engagement and Special Programs, Engineering Services, Library
Services, and Public Works.
ANALYSIS:
It is necessary for the City to periodically update its user fees to ensure that fees charged are
commensurate to the estimated cost of providing individualized services. Fee studies are
conducted to justify modifications to fees as needed. For many years the City has (except for
Development Impact Fees which represent actual construction costs) used a time (hours of labor)
and wages (cost per hour) methodology to ensure it provides accurate cost recovery without
exceeding actual costs. The following user fee adjustments are detailed in the first proposed
Resolution (Attachment 1):
Building & Safety
The Building and Safety Department is proposing several fee adjustments to promote equity and
stronger alignment between fees, project scope, and staff time.
The fire sprinkler fee is being bifurcated for production and tenant improvement projects, with
assessments now based on the number of sprinkler heads, systems, or floors in increments of
three (3). A new Energy Storage System (ESS) fee category is being introduced to ensure
consistent treatment and cost recovery for renewable energy installations. The tile reroof fee is
reduced to match the composition reroof rate for equitable treatment among property owners with
differing roofing materials. A new retaining wall fee structure introduces a subset fee for walls up
to 30 feet, while the 31–100-foot range replaces the previous 1–100-foot range at the same rate.
This update provides a more detailed breakdown that lowers costs for smaller projects while
maintaining alignment with staff time requirements. Lastly, two (2) new Egress Lighting fees are
introduced to fill a gap in the fee schedule, ensuring equitable and practical cost recovery for new
egress lighting systems.
Collectively, these updates ensure that all fees more accurately reflect the resources required for
plan review and inspection while maintaining fairness and transparency among stakeholders.

Community Services
During the Fiscal Year 2025/26 user fee review process, the Community Services Department
reviewed all department fees and conducted a comprehensive analysis of thirty-six (36) existing
fees to ensure alignment with operational practices and service delivery standards. As a result of
this review, ten (10) fees were recommended for removal, two (2) fees were revised to clarify
language and applicability, and five (5) fees were adjusted in value to more accurately reflect the
cost of service. The fee removals primarily addressed items that were either obsolete, redundant,
Page 301
Page 3

5
or no longer operationally supported, including but not limited to the Mobile Dry Erase Whiteboard,
Additional Stage Pieces, Ticket Exchange Fee, and Votive with Tealight.
In addition to the recommended removals and revisions, seven (7) new fees were introduced to
establish equitable cost recovery for newly implemented or restructured services. Notable
additions include the Audio/Visual (AV) Package at Central Park, designed to simplify customer
transactions through bundled rental options; the Box Office Setup and Box Office Ticketing
Services fees at the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center, developed to improve transparency and
ensure cost recovery for labor and administrative resources; and the Choir Riser Rental Fee,
implemented to reflect the introduction of new equipment available for public use. Each new fee
was developed through an evidence-based evaluation of resource utilization and service demand.
Collectively, these actions reflect the Department’s continued commitment to prudent fiscal
management and operational accountability. The recommended modifications ensure that user
fees remain consistent with industry standards, support sustainable service delivery, and uphold
the overarching objective of maintaining a fair and transparent fee structure responsive to
community needs.

Engagement and Special Programs
The Engagement and Special Programs Department is proposing fee updates for the City’s Level
2 (AC) and Level 3 (DC) ChargePoint Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations. Pricing has not
been updated in multiple years and has not kept pace with rising electricity and operational costs.
As part of this update, the City would like to standardize EV charging fees to per kilowatt-hour
(kWh) instead of per hour, which aligns with market rate and industry standards.
Staff recommend updating Level 2 pricing from $1.50/hr. to $0.35/kWh and Level 3 pricing from
$0.35/kWh to $0.55/kWh. This proposed update includes implementing a uniform Idling Fee of
$10.00 per hour, applied after a 25-minute grace period once charging has stopped, and
applicable to all locations to encourage timely vehicle movement and ensure full utilization of the
chargers by all drivers. The proposed pricing improves transparency and helps to ensure long-
term sustainability of the EV program.

Engineering Services
The Engineering Department is proposing updates to maintain consistency and accuracy within
the Master Fee Schedule. The Electric, Telephone, and Cable Television fees under
Undergrounding Overhead Utilities were removed and replaced with a statement directing that
the applicant shall submit a detailed estimate prepared by a qualified registered engineer in
accordance with City Ordinance 1045, following City Council approval of agenda item E1 on
September 3, 2025. In addition, a new category for the Non-Residential Affordable Housing
Development Impact Fee was added in accordance with Resolution 2021-131 and Ordinance
991, as it had not been previously included in the Master Fee Schedule.

The Library Department is proposing to add one (1) Cancellation and Rescheduling Fee for the
Exhibition Space under Indoor Facility Rentals at Second Story and Beyond®, and to remove the
large room categories and their respective deposit fees from Indoor Facility Rentals, as large
rooms are no longer part of the library’s rental offerings following the recent build-out of the space.

Public Works
The Public Works Department is proposing new fee-based programs to support Urban Forestry
operations, along with two existing fee updates for Lien Administration and Lien Release.
Trees within the City are maintained on a grid cycle, with grids established based on Landscape
Maintenance District budgets. The Residential Service Request Program will allow residents to
request tree pruning outside of the normal grid cycle at the contractor’s rate and the resident’s
expense.
Public Works also receives requests from the community to dedicate memorial trees within City
parks and landscaped areas. The Memorial Tree Dedication Program, which has been inactive
for several years, will be reinstated to formalize the associated fees within the Master Fee
Schedule and allow residents to dedicate trees planted by Public Works staff.
The Lien Administration Fee recovers staff time to research delinquent accounts, determine
eligibility for assessment, conduct public hearings, and process lien placements through the San
Bernardino County Tax Collector and Recorder. The Lien Release Fee covers the cost of
releasing liens once debts are paid in full. Both fees were last updated on December 2, 2020, and
continue to ensure proper cost recovery for these administrative services.

Employment Cost Index (ECI):
To ensure consistency across all City departments and the Fire District, staff recommends
standardizing the language governing annual Employment Cost Index (ECI) adjustments for user
fees. The Community Services Department, Library Services Department, and Fire District fee
schedules previously referenced that ECI-based fee adjustments would be “rounded up to the
nearest whole dollar.” This language has been revised to align with the standardized format used
by all other City departments, which specifies that adjustments shall be “rounded to the nearest
whole dollar,” ensuring consistency in the fee schedule presentation. Staff further recommends
pausing the ECI escalator for the Building & Safety Department’s Solar/photovoltaic up to 15 kW
– Residential fee to remain compliant with Assembly Bill 1132’s caps on residential photovoltaic
permitting fees.
Effective Date of Fees:
Fees approved through the adoption of the attached Resolution and incorporated into the Master
Fee Schedule would be effective January 1, 2026, with the exception of the Community Services
Department’s fees, which would take effect on July 1, 2026. As previously approved by City
Council, the annual fee adjustments would be effective on the first day of each fiscal year, July 1,
as set forth in the fee resolutions, and staff would update the Master Fee Schedule accordingly.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65090, this item was advertised fifteen (15) days in
advance as a public hearing (1/8-page ad) in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper.
FISCAL IMPACT:
By consistently examining user fees annually, these user fee updates provide additional revenue
per fiscal year to offset the City's costs.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This action supports the Council's Core Value of intentionally embracing and anticipating the
future by ensuring fees remain aligned with actual costs over time.

Sean McPherson, AICP, Principal Planner
SUBJECT:Public Hearing to Consider an Appeal of the Planning Commission’s
Decision to Approve a Request for Design Review, Minor Exception, and
Variance for the Construction of 166 Single-Family Residences
Proposed Within an Approved Tract Map on Approximately 70-acres
Located Near the Northeast Corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Wilson
Avenue in the Low Residential (L) Zone; (Tracts 16072 and 16072-2)
This item is Exempt from the Requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Section 15162. Case
File Number: Design Review DRC2024-00395, Minor Exception
DRC2025-00168, Variance DRC2025-00169. (RESOLUTION NO.
2025-096) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission’s
October 22, 2025, approval of Design Review (DRC2024-00395), Minor Exception (DRC2025-
00168) and Variance (DRC2025-00169), for th construction of 166 single-family residences within
the previously approved Tract Map (Tracts 16072 and 16072-2).
BACKGROUND:
The project site, located northeast of Etiwanda Avenue and Wilson Avenue, totaling
approximately 70 acres comprises Tracts 16072 and 16072-2, which in turn comprise only a
portion of a larger 354-lot subdivision approved in 2004 (SUBTT16072). Notably, an
Environmental Impact Report was certified by the City on June 16, 2004 in relation to
SUBTT16072. The final map for SUBTT16072, which included Tracts 16072 and 16072-2, was
approved by the City Council and recorded at the County in 2023. Staff also notes that grading
permits were issued in January 2024 which were tied to the 2023 Final Map approval and the
earlier 2004 tract map approval. As of the writing of this report, grading activity for the future public
streets and building pads for the future homes has already commenced and is nearing completion.
Also in 2024, two developers (Toll Brothers and Lennar Homes) submitted plans for single-family
residential housing product to build out SUBTT16072 with the goal of starting construction on the
housing product following all necessary grading activity. Toll Brothers proposed to develop 188
single-family residences while Lennar Homes proposed to develop 166 single-family residences
within the approved subdivision.

On October 22, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider Lennar Homes’
development application for the construction of 166 single-family homes. At that meeting, one
member of the public who lives in the vicinity of the project area spoke at public comment and
raised general concerns regarding placement of walls and rodents. Also, one day prior to the
public hearing, on October 21, 2025, staff received a letter from Lozeau-Drury, a firm representing
the Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (SAFER), which challenged staff’s
determination that the project was exempt from CEQA and that no further CEQA action was
necessary, arguing that a supplemental EIR should be prepared for the project. Specifically, that
letter expressed concerns that staff was relying on the original EIR certified in 2004, and asserted,
without evidence or supporting documentation, that there have been “changed circumstances,
new feasible mitigation measures, and new impacts” within the intervening 21 years. This letter
was provided to the Commission prior to the public hearing for their consideration. After taking
public testimony and considering the contents of this letter, the Planning Commission deliberated
and voted unanimously to approve the subject applications for Lennar Homes.
On November 3, 2025, the City received a timely appeal dated October 29, 2025 from Lozeau-
Drury of the Planning Commission approval which is included with this staff report as Attachment
2.
ANALYSIS:
Similar to the letter received from Lozeau-Drury prior to the Planning Commission public hearing,
the subject appeal letter asserts that a supplemental EIR should be prepared for this project. The
letter raises general concerns, with no evidence or supporting documentation, that there have
been changed circumstances, new feasible mitigation measures, and new impacts in the
intervening 21 years since the original EIR was certified by the City in 2004.
Staff has previously noted that the proposed project for the construction of 166 single-family
residences is exempt from further CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
For a full discussion on that topic, please reference the Planning Commission staff report and
meeting minutes included with this staff report as Attachment 1. The appellant, Lozeau-Drury, on
the other hand, asserts, with no evidence or supporting documentation, that there have been
changed circumstances, new feasible mitigation measures and new impacts since the EIR was
certified in 2004 and that a supplemental EIR is required for this project.
In response to the appellant’s assertion that a Supplemental EIR is required, staff offers the
following facts:
1. There have been changed circumstances since the 2004 EIR was certified
FACT: There are no changed circumstances since the 2004 EIR was certified which
necessitate a supplemental EIR. The proposed project involves the construction of 166
single-family residential units within the previously approved subdivision SUBTT16072
which created 354 single-family residential lots. The current application proposing 166
single-family residential units equates to a design review of the housing product to be
located on these previously approved lots. Staff acknowledges that the Design Review
application also includes Minor Exceptions and Variances to accommodate deviations
from code standards for features and setback encroachments, but these are minor in
nature and do not rise to the level of creating additional environmental impacts which had
not already been analyzed under the previous EIR. Thus, there have NOT been any
changed circumstances since the 2004 EIR which necessitate a Supplemental EIR.

FACT: As noted previously, the application proposing 166 single-family residential units
equates to a design review of the housing product to be located on these previously
approved lots. Staff acknowledges that the Design Review application also includes Minor
Exceptions and Variances to accommodate deviations from code standards for features
and setback encroachments, but these are minor in nature and do not rise to the level of
creating additional environmental impacts which had not already been analyzed under the
previous EIR. Staff also notes, relative to mitigation measures, that the applicant has
provide updated studies in adherence to the original mitigation monitoring and reporting
program and as it relates to the grading permit review. For example, updated biological
and cultural monitoring assessments were provided to the City as recent as 2022 and
2023, respectively, prior to the issuance of grading permits in 2024. Thus, as there are no
new impacts associated with the proposed project, there are no new feasible mitigation
measures since the 2004 EIR which necessitate a Supplemental EIR.
3. There are new impacts since the 2004 EIR was certified.
FACT: As with #2, above, and as the current application equates to a design review of the
housing product to be located on these previously approved lots, there are no new impacts
since the 2004 EIR was certified that necessitate a Supplemental EIR.
Lastly, and in summary, staff notes that CEQA Guidelines Section 15163 provides that the lead
agency may choose to prepare a supplement to an EIR rather than a subsequent EIR if a) any of
the conditions described in Section 15162 would require preparation of a subsequent EIR, and b)
only minor additions or changes would be necessary to make the previous EIR adequately apply
to the project in the changed situation. None of the conditions described in Section 15162 exist
which would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR, nor have there been any changed
circumstances which necessitate changes to the previously certified EIR.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
Denying the appeal and upholding the Planning Commission’s approval of the subject project
support the City Council core value of “intentionally embracing and anticipating the future” and
“building and preserving a family-oriented atmosphere” by completing construction within a long-

SUBJECT:DESIGN REVIEW, MINOR EXCEPTION, VARIANCE – VINOVA
(LENNAR) - A request for site plan and architectural review of 166 single-
family residences within an approved tract map on approximately 70-acres
located near the northeast corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Wilson Avenue;
(Tracts 16072 and 16072-2). This item is exempt from the requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Section
15162. (Design Review DRC2024-00395, Minor Exception DRC2025-
00168, Variance DRC2025-00169).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 2025-036, approving
Design Review DRC2024-00395, Variance DRC2025-00169, and Minor Exception DRC2025-
00168 subject to the attached conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND:
The project site is approximately 70 acres within Tracts 16072 and 16072-2, as described in the
title of this report. The subdivision was originally approved in 2004 for 354 single family lots at an
average density of 2.3 dwelling units per acre. Environmental review for the original entitlement
was completed through a certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the project was
annexed into the City under Development Agreement DRC2002-00156. The project area has a
General Plan land use designation of Traditional Neighborhood and is located within the Low
Residential (L) zone.
The tentative map for the project area was approved in 2004, and the final map for all tracts within
the project area was recorded in 2023. In 2024, two developers (Toll Brothers and Lennar Homes)
submitted plans for single-family residential housing product. Toll Brothers proposed to develop
188 of the approved 354 lots, while Lennar Homes proposed to develop 166 of the approved lots.
The current application represents only Lennar Homes’ portion of the overall project area
development. Toll Brothers has submitted separate applications which will be reviewed at a
separate public hearing to be noticed at a future date.
Staff also notes that grading permits for the development were issued in January 2024 which
were tied to the 2023 Final Map approval grading activity has commenced. Thus, the subject
Design Review, Variance and Minor Exception applications are only for the housing product itself
and associated features such as the placement of perimeter walls.

All streets within the project area were previously approved as public streets and will be
maintained as part of the City’s street network. Access to the subdivision will be provided from
Wilson Avenue and Etiwanda Avenue through multiple connection points established with the
original subdivision approval. The project will maintain non-obstructed vehicular and pedestrian
access throughout the neighborhood with no gates or perimeter walls, ensuring a fully connected
and accessible community consistent with the General Plan.
The existing Land Use, General Plan, and Zoning Designations for, the project site and the
surrounding properties are as follows:
Land Use General Plan Zoning

Architecture
For the proposed 166 single-family residences, the applicant has chosen various design themes,
including a contemporary farmhouse, contemporary coastal, contemporary vineyard and
contemporary prairie architectural theme. Each style integrates varied rooflines, exterior materials
and color palettes to create visual diversity while maintaining consistency with the overall
subdivision design.

Figure 2: Select examples of architectural renderings.
The architectural styles use high-quality material and detailing to create a contemporary, yet
compatible, neighborhood character. Building elevations feature concrete slate tile roofing, stucco
sliding with optional shingle or horizontal accents for texture and decorative wood barge boards
with fascia treatments and wood trim around windows and doors. Decorative front entry doors
and garage doors include lights and metal roll-up garage doors with treated windows to add visual
interest. Fourteen color schemes highlight each architectural style while maintaining a balanced
streetscape, using neutral tones, warm wood accents and darker contracting trim colors to create
depth and articulation on all street facing elevations.
Homes are plotted with alternating floor plans, elevations and colors to avoid repetition, with
corner lots receiving enhanced elevations for consistent design quality on all public facing sides.
Private driveways, landscaped parkways and pedestrian connections support curb appeal and
walkability. Front setbacks and building spacings allow adequate light, air and privacy between
residences while maintaining an attractive cohesive neighborhood design.
The proposed project offset 12 floor plans across two series. Series A provides single story
homes, from 2,652 to 3,062 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 to 4.5 baths, including options
such as tandem bays, storage bays, and flex space. Series B provides two-story homes from
3,462 to 3,805 square feet with 4 to 5 bedrooms and 4.5 to 5.5 baths, plus tandem or compact
third bay configurations. Across both tracts, the mix totals 166 homes, with 79 single-story and 87
two-story.

Parking
Section 17.64.050 (Number of Parking Spaces Required) of the Development Code requires two
off-street spaces per single-family detached dwelling, on in a garage or carport and one in the
driveway. For 166 homes, the minimum requirement is 332 spaces. The proposed project
provides at least two-car garages for every home with 150 of the homes including a third-car stall
(tandem or compact). Each lot includes a standard driveway that accommodates at least one
vehicle. The proposed project satisfies the code requirement for parking.

Minor Exception
The project is consistent with the development requirements for the Low Residential (L) Zone
except for a few site-specific conditions requiring minor exceptions. These requests are limited in
scope and are necessary to address topographic constraints, seismic setbacks, existing
infrastructure and yard usability while maintaining functional lot layouts. The request address site-
specific constraints without altering the approved subdivision layout or overall development
pattern. The design approach prioritizes functional yards, continuous walls for maintenance
efficiency and minimal grading impacts ensuring consistency with City standards and
neighborhood character whenever possible.

Open Space, Recreational Amenities, and Landscaping
Ultimately, the proposed project will provide five neighborhood parks that will serve both Lennar
and Toll Brothers; Zinfandel, Syrah, Mission, Malaga and Sultana Cross. The parks will be
maintained by an HOA but remain accessible to the public. The proposed joint improvements
create one connected system with a multi-use trail, concrete pedestrian walkways, trail markers,
lighting and three-rail vinyl fencing.
Figure 3: Preliminary Landscape Plan
Key amenities include open lawns, picnic nodes and concrete tables, shade structures, overhead
vine trellises, Adirondack seating, barbecue areas, outdoor fitness equipment, a natural themed
tot lot, two fenced pickleball courts a sand volleyball court small soccer goals, overlooks with
bench seating, monument and concreate steps and pet waste stations. Landscape features
vineyard rows with crushed stone mulch, grass-meadow and slope planting succulent
demonstration gardens, cobble and crushed stone paving accent boulders vegetated swales with
catch basins, and accessible path to basin bottoms.

Design Review Committee
The project was heard by the Design Review Committee (Boling, Dopp, McPherson) on
September 23, 2025. While the committee members were supportive of the project, in particular
complimenting the design of the open space and recreation areas, the committee members did
request that the developer consider additional architectural enhancements to portions of the
second story wall plane above the garage on the Contemporary Coastal (Plan 10B) and
Contemporary Prairie (Plan 10D). The applicant responded affirmatively that their designer will
be looking into that issue. The applicant has provided enhanced renderings which exhibit these
two architectural styles which the applicant feels better represents the true character of these
styles. These enhanced renderings have been included with the project plans and can be found
in Exhibit B.
Public Art
Pursuant to Development Code Section 17.124.020(B)(1), residential projects with a density
equal to or less than four dwelling units per acre are exempt from meeting public art requirements.
The proposed project has a density of 2.3 dwelling units per acre, thus it is not subject to the
public art requirement.
Environmental Review
The City previously certified an Environmental Impact Report on June 16, 2004, in connection
with the City’s approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072. Pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental
EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of
the same project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or
more severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the
circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe
environmental impacts; or (iii) new important information shows the project will have new or more
severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible
to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce
impacts.
Staff has reviewed the project for compliance with CEQA. As the project only involves the
construction of housing product and associated features such as walls within the boundaries of a
previously approved and previously graded subdivision, staff has determined that: i) no
substantial changes are proposed that indicate new or more severe impacts, ii) no substantial
changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed,
iii) no new important information has been presented as part of this application which shows that
project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered, and iv) there are no
additional or different mitigation measures which are now feasible or which could be imposed to
substantially reduce impacts. Accordingly, the project is exempt from further review under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
The proposed project supports the City Council core values of “intentionally embracing and
anticipating the future” and “building and preserving a family-oriented atmosphere” by completing
construction within a long-vacant and approved subdivision with for-sale units, which will
inherently be conducive to families.

Vice Chairman Boling reiterated that the applicant had been given the opportunity to review the Conditions of
Approval provided by staff and therefore had ample time to do so.
Planning Director Nakamura confirmed.
Commissioner Daniels suggested to allow the applicant a few minutes to look over a hard copy of the Conditions
of Approval while the Commission deliberates.
Applicant Tobin, along with Architect Andresen reviewed the documents.
Commissioner Daniels stated that he had spoken with the City Engineer regarding the ingress and egress
easement on Parcel 2. He noted that he had not realized the easement was intended for Parcel 1, ensuring that
any future development on that parcel would access London Avenue rather than Base Line Road. He
commented that this was an excellent addition to the map.
Vice Chairman Boling stated that in the Conditions of Approval, number 7, Subsection 1, the Engineering
Services Department requires the applicant to provide fiber optic conduit along Base Line Road. He further
stated that Subsection 2 requires the same along London Avenue and inquired about the rationale for this
requirement, given that London Avenue is a small residential cul-de-sac. He asked to explain how this aligns
with the City’s Master Plan for fiber optics.
Principal Engineer Sotomayor explained that it is the City’s requirement for developers to install fiber optic
conduit along project frontages to support future connectivity. He added that the City’s long-term goal is to
have fiber installed citywide.
Vice Chairman Boling expressed appreciation to the applicant for preparing the proposed parcel map noting that
it aligns the subject site with the General Plan and zoning for future use. He added that while it may not reflect
the current use, it appropriately prepares the site for future development while respecting the long-term operation
of Parcel 1 as a valued community asset, the Child Care Center. He asked staff to confirm that the Child Care
Center would be permitted to continue operating as legal nonconforming use, provided that operations are not
discontinued for an extended period of time.
Assistant Planner Lee confirmed.
Chairman Morales re-opened the public hearing to allow the applicant an opportunity to respond after
reviewing the Conditions of Approval.
Applicant Tobin stated that they had reviewed the Conditions of Approval, found them to be standard, and had
no objections. He apologized for the earlier confusion.
Hearing no comments from the public, Chairman Morales closed public hearing.
Motion: Moved by Commissioner Dopp; seconded by Vice Chairman Boling to adopt Resolution 2025-038
approving Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM20935. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.
D2. TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP – JACLYN MCDOWELL ON BEHALF OF MARK REYNOSO – A request
to subdivide an existing 76,782-square-foot parcel into two parcels within the Very Low (VL) Residential
Zone, Hillside Overlay Zone, and Equestrian Overlay Zone, located at 5451 Moonstone Avenue; APN:
1061-251-32. This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
as a Class 15 exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 – Minor Land Divisions (SUBTPM20985).
Assistant Planner Lee provided a PowerPoint presentation (copy on file) and noted that a few typographical
errors had been identified in the Staff Report and draft Resolution; corrections were made, and red-lined copies
were provided on the dais. Corrections in the Proposed Lots; changed Parcel 1 from 21,926 sq. ft. to 54,855
sq. ft., and Parcel 2 from 54,855 sq. ft. to 21,926 sq. ft.

Commissioner Dopp inquired about Parcel 2 on the east end of the lot, nothing that the staff report lists the
minimum lot width as 142 feet and 383 feet, though it appears to be approximately 9-10 feet. He asked how
the measurement was calculated and how it complies with applicable standards.
Assistant Planner Lee responded that staff had expressed similar concerns. However, she noted that there are
no objective findings to recommend denial, as the subdivision meets the development standards required for
the underlying zone. She added that the measurements are based on definitions of lot depth and lot width as
outlined in the Development Code.
Commissioner Daniels stated that the Government Code allows denial of subdivisions based on issues of public
health or safety, referencing Section 66474, which provides legal grounds for denial if a project poses serious
health problems. He noted that while the subdivision is consistent with the City’s General Plan and zoning, be
believes the proposed layout of the two parcels is poor. He expressed concern that the flag portion of the lot
may not be properly maintained and could become an eyesore to the community. He then sought assistance
from legal counsel.
Assistant City Attorney Young responded that she is not sure we can correlate a bad design to a health problem.
She said we would need a bit more facts, such as studies to back up a denial based on a health issue.
Commissioner Daniels stated that the proposed design creates an untenable situation with the long, narrow flag
portion of the lot and the adjoining areas to the west. He commented that the configuration appears to serve no
purpose other than to meet the minimum lot size requirements.
Chairman Morales opened the public hearing.
The applicant explained that the lot’s angled design is due to the existing contours of the site. He noted that an
existing driveway and a grove of mature trees along that driveway influenced the layout, as they wished to
preserve the trees.
He stated that one of the requirements is that the lot must extend completely through the site and connect to
both sides. He explained that, although that portion of the lot is not necessary, it was included to meet site
requirements. He added that the intent is to divide the property, so the back house and pool remain, with plans
to rebuild the house and resurface the pool.
The following individuals spoke in opposition of the project: Larry Weidinger, Gary Drejdan, Maureen
Malady-Myers.
The comments included the following concerns:
Privacy
Health hazard
Mountain view
Wall height
Habitat area
Septic
Bridle trail around property
The applicant provided an explanation on the following:
Trees – The grove of mature pine trees will be left alone.
Septic – Septic will be done by professional engineers.
Height and placement of the building – They are abiding by all code standards.
Bridle Trail – Will be addressed during planning.
Commissioner Dopp stated that there is a gate at the rear of Parcel 2 and inquired whether the future
property owner would be responsible for maintaining the area. He expressed concern that, while there is
an intent to preserve the existing trees, lack of proper maintenance could pose a public health and safety
risk, particularly related to wildfires.

Applicant confirmed and indicated maintaining the area it is something that can be added to the Conditions
of Approval.
Hearing no other comments from the public, Chairman Morales closed public hearing.
Commissioner Dopp asked staff to clarify the requirement for property lines to extend from the front to the
back of the site. He referenced the applicant’s statement that the lot was designed to reach the east end
of the parcel to satisfy a city code requirement and requested confirmation as to whether such a provision
exists in the regulations.
Planning Director Nakamura responded that staff would review the subdivision ordinance during
deliberations, noting that the cited requirement is not one she is familiar with. She clarified that the current
application pertains solely to the lot split and is unrelated to any future approval of the house design, which
would be addressed separately through the entitlement process. She emphasized that today’s focus is on
the subdivision of the two lots.
Commissioner Dopp stated that he finds it difficult to support a parcel with such an irregular shape due to
potential management and liability concerns. He commended that a large portion of the parcel appears
unviable as a standalone property. While acknowledging that this is not sufficient grounds for denial, he
expressed discomfort with the configuration.
Commissioner Daniels concurred with Commissioner Dopp. He also stated he would like to see the rear
flag portion combined with Parcel 1. He explained that as a Commission, part of their responsibility is to
try to make good planning and have parcels that makes sense. With that in mind, he is uncomfortable
approving this because he believes it is a terrible design, especially after seeing the amount of land
available in Parcel 1.
Commissioner Diaz and Vice Chairman Boling concurred.
Planning Director Nakamura suggested re-opening the public hearing to allow the applicant to return and
clarify which concerns they are willing or unwilling to address. She said that she was unable to identify any
provision in the subdivision ordinance requiring the east-west lot configuration but stated that staff would
further review and examine the matter. Regarding variances, she explained that they may be granted for
development standards outlined in Title 17. Therefore, if a variance related to lot standards were
necessary, it could be considered. In response to concerns about the existing trees, she explained that all
departments will review the site once a development application is submitted. If the property is located
within a high fire hazard zone, there may be requirements for the removal of certain trees and the replanting
of fire-adaptive trees as part of the new development.
Chairman Morales reopened the public hearing.
Applicant stated if there is nothing in the code that indicates they have to extend all the way across the
subdivision, he would be open to revising that and going with the quickest approval process possible to
avoid further delays for his client. He said he would be okay with going perhaps a little bit under 20,000 sq.
ft. in Parcel 2 and could easily remove 1,200 sq. ft. right away.
Chairman Morales closed the public hearing.
Planning Director Nakamura stated the Commissioners have the following choices to make:
Accept staff’s recommendation for approval,
If they feel they have the findings to make a denial, they can do so, or
Continue the item to a date uncertain and allow staff to work with the applicant to finalize any
revisions and to determine what the best path forward would be.
Motion: Moved by Vice Chairman Boling; seconded by Commissioner Daniels, to continue this item to a
date uncertain. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.

Commissioner Daniels noted that the Commission is not reviewing the development of the parcels at this
time and stated he was unclear whether the existing structure would be refurbished. He requested that a
small reference map be provided showing the locations of structures on the parcels.
Assistant City Attorney Young responded that it would not be appropriate if only considering a lot split. The
potential proposal on a lot split could change over time because it is in preliminary review right now.
Commissioner Daniels asked for clarification on whether the house will remain.
Planning Director Nakamura replied that as staff mentioned in the report, the house is to be demolished but
the idea is to rebuild in the same place.
Commissioner Daniels stated that it was not clear as the applicant indicated something different.
D3. DESIGN REVIEW, MINOR EXCEPTION, VARIANCE – VINOVA (LENNAR) - A request for site plan
and architectural review of 166 single-family residences within an approved tract map on approximately 70-
acres located near the northeast corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Wilson Avenue; (Tracts 16072 and 16072-
2). This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under
CEQA Section 15162. (Design Review DRC2024-00395, Minor Exception DRC2025-00168, Variance
DRC2025-00169).
Principal Planner McPherson provided a PowerPoint presentation (copy on file).
Chairman Morales opened the public hearing.
Applicant was present and available to answer questions.
For the record, correspondence from Lozeau Drury, LLP was received following the preparation of the
agenda packet, expressing opposition to the project. The correspondence should be referred to for further
details.
Resident Edward Aldaz had the following concerns:
Wall placement
Health risk – vermin
Digging close to home
Applicant responded to the wall concerns and said there will be permitted walls built around the homes.
They will be developing everything within property line and the track boundaries.
Principal Planner McPherson clarified that the walls referenced were primarily interior walls to the approved
lots. He said this project will also include walls along the perimeter as is standard in a subdivision like this.
Relative to the comment about any additional grading, it has already commenced. There is no expectation
that grading beyond the boundaries which have already been graded will occur. The application before the
commission tonight is relative to the construction of the homes on those, previously graded lots.
Commissioner Daniels referred to the two different roofing materials being proposed and that several of the
units feature standard seam walls. He commented that typically only one type of roofing material is used
and asked for the reason behind the use of two.
Applicant explained that it is an architectural feature intended to create diversity.
Commissioner Daniels commented on the gable roof extending over the entrance appears awkward with
the flat wall positioned in front of it. He also inquired how the two subdivisions will be phased.
Applicant responded that they are trying to revisit the traditional style in a contemporary way. In terms of
the phasing, there are essentially two different product lines. The one-story and two-story homes will be
built simultaneously.

Commissioner Daniels stated that the Fire Department will likely require two access points prior to the
storing of lumber for construction and asked if the developer will construct the street network.
Applicant confirmed that approximately 90% of the street network has been constructed.
Commissioner Daniels asked if Lennar designed the parks.
Applicant answered that it is a mutual effort and want to do the best they can for the community.
Commissioner Daniels complimented the project. He said it is very nice and will be a good asset to the
development of the community. He asked if Wilson Avenue will be open soon.
Applicant answered that they will open it as soon as they can.
Chairman Morales closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Dopp stated that he got to see this at the Design Review Committee meeting. He
remembers comments being made about the front wall, possibly making it a balcony. Aside from that, it
was decided that most of the designs were appropriate for the neighborhood. He indicated he is a big fan
of some of the amenities. For example, the Central Paseo he originally was pushing for with the developer
when there was a lack of one on a map that was before them a few years ago. It is nice to see it carried
out because it was not a requirement at the time. He said that the design helps create a stronger sense of
community within a subdivision, noting that traditional urban studies show such connectivity is often missing
in developments characterized by long roads. He added that incorporating amenities and green spaces
at a central nexus point will provide an excellent gathering area and be a valuable enhancement to the
project.
Commissioner Daniels stated he went through all the minor exceptions and the variances and did not have
any problems with the waivers that are being requested which are very minor.
Commissioner Diaz stated that we have 166 new single-family homes coming to an area of the city where
people want them, and it is very exciting. She said the issues presented are minor exceptions and
expressed no concerns. She supports staffs’ determination that the CEQA report on file remains relevant
and applicable, and stated that she looks forward to seeing the project move forward.
Vice Chairman Boling stated, as mentioned previously, there were some issues and concerns addressed
at the Design Review Committee meeting related to a couple of the models and elevations. The applicant’s
submission and provision of the 3D rendering helped give them a better perspective of what those products
are intended to look like. As it pertains to the minor exceptions and variances, they are nominal.
Regarding the letter that was received by the city late in the process challenging the previously certified
EIR, there have been no substantial changes nor new uses planned for this project, so he sees no issues
or problems. As it pertains to the comment made by the public, he strongly encouraged the resident to
speak directly to the applicants representative pertaining to the issues and questions that he has that are
beyond the scope of the commission’s actions being taken tonight.
Chairman Morales addressed the public comment regarding rodents, stating that those issues should
subside as the site is developed. He thanked the applicant for working collaboratively with staff to ensure
the project is completed properly.
Motion: Moved by Commissioner Dopp; seconded by Commissioner Daniels to adopt Resolution 2025-
036 approving Design Review DRC2024-00395, Variance DRC2025-00169 and Minor Exception
DRC2025-00168. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.

D4. MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT – CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA – A request to amend Title
17 of the Municipal Code for the development of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory
Dwelling Units (JADUs) in compliance with State ADU Law. This item is statutorily exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Section 15282(h). A public
hearing will be held by the City Council for final action at a future date to be determined. (DRC2025-00072).
Assistant Planner Lee provided a PowerPoint presentation (copy on file).
Commissioner Daniels asked for clarification regarding the ADU pre-approved plans and whether any
member of the public may request access to those plans.
Planning Director Nakamura described the pre-approval process. Any licensed contractor, engineer or
architect may submit a plan for an ADU. The City conducts an initial review, and once approved, the plans
are filed and posted on the City’s website. She noted that anyone may use the City’s pre-approved plans
to apply for an ADU, which is the basis of the City’s ADU Pre-Approved Program.
Commissioner Daniels asked Assistant City Attorney Young why penalties cannot be imposed for an
unpermitted ADU built two to five years ago and later discovered by the City.
Assistant City Attorney Young responded that she had not reviewed the legislative intent behind the
provision but suggested that the state may have recognized the large number of unpermitted additions
constructed by property owners for various reasons. She explained that if those additions were built to
code and can be legalized, this process provides a pathway for doing so without penalty, thereby creating
additional housing units that the City can count toward its housing requirements.
Commissioner Daniels asked if there is a timeframe for compliance, if an ADU is discovered.
Staff responded that they do not believe there is a timeframe.
Planning Director Nakamura mentioned if work is done without building permits there is a 50% penalty.
Chairman Morales opened the public hearing.
Hearing no comments from the public, Chairman Morales closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Dopp stated that the amendment will make it somewhat easier to meet the City’s housing
goals. He noted that while the overall impact may be limited due to the small number of lots over 20,000
square feet, it still represents a move in the right direction.
Vice Chairman Boling said he is encouraged at the number of ADU’s that have been developed in the city
over the past few years. He expressed appreciation for staff’s diligence in bringing forward Municipal Code
Amendments such as this one.
Chairman Morales thanked staff for their hard work in updating the regulations to ensure consistency with
state ADU law.
Motion: Moved by Vice Chairman Boling; seconded by Commissioner Diaz to adopt Resolution 2025-035

Re: Appeal of the October 22, 2025 Decision of the Planning Commission to
Approve the Vinova Project (Design Review DRC2024-00395, Minor
Exception DRC2025-00168, Variance DRC2025-00169)
Dear City Clerk Sevy and Planner McPherson:
I am writing on behalf of the Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility
(“SAFER”) and its members living and/or working in or around the City of Rancho Cucamonga
(“City”) to appeal the Planning Commission’s decision of October 22, 2025, to approve the
Vinova Project (Design Review DRC2024-00395, Minor Exception DRC2025-00168, Variance
DRC2025-00169), which proposes the construction of 166 single family residences on
approximately 70-acres, located near the northeast corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Wilson Avenue
in the City of Rancho Cucamonga (“Project”), and to approve the Project based on the 2004
Environmental Impact Report prepared for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072.
SAFER objects to the City’s decision to rely on the 2004 EIR because there have been
changed circumstances, new feasible mitigation measures, and new impacts in the intervening 21
years, and therefore a supplemental EIR is required to analyze the Project.
This appeal is timely filed within 10 calendar days of the Planning Commission’s decision
and is accompanied by the required filing fee of $4,902.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Davis
Lozeau Drury LLP

b.The Tract Map (SUBTT16072) was approved by the City Council on June
16, 2004, the Final Map was approved and recorded in 2023, and associated grading permits
were issued in January 2024;
c.The applicant proposes the construction of 166 single-family residences on
the aforementioned subdivided and graded lots;
d.The existing land uses, General Plan land use designations, and zoning
designations for the project site and the surrounding properties are as follows:

e.In addition to the Design Review application which permits the construction
of the proposed single-family residences, the Project also includes a request for a Variance to
permit deviations from the following requirements on specific lots within the proposed
development: permitted driveway frontage, deficient side yard setbacks, and front yard setbacks
the encroachment of structures into required setback areas, and the construction of walls which
in certain cases will exceed allowable height limitations. These deviations are necessary due to
the design of existing cul-de-sacs, topographical constraints caused by the configuration of the
proposed lots, steep terrain, and proximity to seismic fault zones. The specific lots to which the
requested Variance will apply are as follows: TR16072-2 Lots 3, 4, 19, 20, 21, 90 and 91, and
TR16072 Lots 18, 19, 20, 34, 35, 58, 59, and 60; and
f.The addition to the Design Review and Variance, the application also
proposes a Minor Exception to permit deviations from permitted wall heights on certain lots within
the proposed development due to topography and proximity to seismic fault zones. The specific
lots to which the requested Minor Exception will apply are as follows: TR16072-2 Lots 1 and
TR16072 Lots 2, 5, 6,12 and 50; and
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 makes the following findings for Design
Review (DRC2024-00395) pursuant to Development Code Section 17.20.040: finds and
concludes as follows:
Page 336
RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX - Page 3 of 7

a.The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plan. The project site is designated as Traditional Neighborhood. The proposed project
aligns with the land use goals and policies identified in the general plan, including the construction
of traditional neighborhoods including single-family residences not to exceed 8 dwelling units to
the acre; and
b.The proposed project is in accord with the objective of this Development Code
and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located. The project site is located within the Low
Residential (L) zone which is intended to accommodate the development of single-family
residential neighborhoods. The underlying subdivision map is consistent with subdivision
standards which were in place at the time that the subdivision was approved. The subject Low
Residential (L) zone anticipates the development of single-family neighborhoods as proposed by
the application; and
c.The proposed project is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions
of the Development Code. The project meets the required standards for site design, circulation,
landscaping and parking upon approval of the related request for a variance and minor exception;
and
d.The City Council has considered all issues raised in the appeal and determines
that 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.
An Environmental Impact Report was previously certified by on June 16, 2004 relative to
SUBTT16072 and related grading activities. The proposed project proposing to construct
residences on the previously subdivided and graded lots will not result in any additional significant
environmental impacts which had not already been considered by the previously approved EIR.
Further, the proposed project to construct the residences will be required to comply with all
mitigation measures associated with previous approvals.
4.The City Council also hereby makes the following findings in support of Variance
(DRC2025-00169) pursuant to Development Code Section 17.20.030:
a.Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the
objectives of this code. The specific lots to which the requested Variance will apply are as follows:
TR16072-2 Lots 3, 4, 19, 20, 21, 90 and 91 and TR16072 Lots 18, 19, 20, 34, 35, 58, 59, and 60.
The Variance is requested to accommodate a greater driveway frontage width on certain lots, and
side yard and front setback encroachments on other lots. These deviations are requested due to
the existing lot size of the previously approved lots, some of which are located on cul-de-sacs,
and others which are complicated by topography and proximity to seismic fault zones. A strict of
literal interpretation of the specified regulations would result in the developer not being able to
construct housing product of a compatible size when compared to other similarly situated
properties throughout the project area which would be inconsistent with the objectives of the code;
and
b.There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone. The subject project area comprises approximately
70 acres located within the northeast portion of the City. This area is characterized by steep terrain
Page 337
RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX - Page 4 of 7
6

7
and proximity to seismic fault zones. Further, the underlying subdivision map upon which the
project proposes to construct 166 single-family residences was approved in 2004 at such a time
that development standards in place today did not exists. As such, exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances exist which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone; and
c.Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same
zone. The granting of the requested variance is necessary in order for the subject lots to
accommodate single-family residences of the size which are enjoyed by the owners of other
properties in the same zone. Specifically, topographical constraints, including steep slopes and
proximity to seismic fault zones deprive the subject lots identified in (a) above the ability to develop
to the size of other similarly situated lots in the vicinity. Granting the variance permits these
property owners to enjoy privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the same zone; and
d.The granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone. Due to
topographical constraints, such as steep slope areas and proximity to seismic fault zones, require
that multiple properties within the project area will require variances to develop to a size consistent
and compatible with other properties in the same zone. Thus, the granting of the variance will not
constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations on other properties as other
properties within the zone which are similarly encumbered have also requested a variance; and
e.The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The granting
of the variance is intended to allow for housing on the select lots identified in (a) above to enjoy
the same privileges as other properties in the zone. It is not anticipated that the granting of the
variance will be determinantal to the public health, safety, or welfare, nor is it anticipated that the
granting of the variance will be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity as
all properties which obtain the granting of a variance are still required to comply with all necessary
building and safety codes and regulations.
5.The City Council also hereby makes the following findings in support of Minor
Exception (DRC2025-00168) pursuant to Development Code Section 17.16.110:
a. The minor exception is consistent with the general plan or any applicable
specific plan or development agreement. The project site has a general plan land use designation
of Traditional Neighborhood, and the zoning is Low Residential (L). The request for a Minor
Exception is limited to specific lots and specifically related to wall height on said lots due to
topography and proximity of these lots to seismic fault zones. These specific lots include
TR16072-2 Lots 1 and 2, and TR16072 Lots 2, 5, 6,12 and 50. The Minor Exception on these
specific lots does not affect the General Plan designation, zoning designation, or the residential
purpose of the project site; and
b.The proposed minor exception is compatible with existing and proposed
land uses in the surrounding area. The surrounding area to the project site includes areas which
are similarly steep in slope. Requests for such increases in wall height are not uncommon in steep
slope areas. The Minor Exception for increased wall height on the lots identified in (a) above is
consistent with other similar requests in similarly sloped areas. Thus, the proposed Minor
Exception is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in the surrounding area; and
Page 338
RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX - Page 5 of 7
6
3
8
7
c.The proposed exception to the specific development standards is
necessary to allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or
accommodate unique site conditions. The increased wall height is necessary to accommodate
steep slope conditions and unique proximity to seismic fault zones. Permitting the increased wall
height allows the subject lots for which the Minor Exception is being requested to be developed
similar to other lots in the area which do not have these same unique constraints; and
d.The granting of the minor exception will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone, and will
not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity. The Minor Exception will allow the applicant to construct pads and
building footprints on the parcels identified in (a) above such that these lots and house sizes will
be similar to other lots in the area which do not face the same topographical constraints. Thus,
the height increase is consistent with the standards and guidelines of the City. Further, the
increased wall height is unlikely to impact public health, safety and/or welfare
6.The Planning Department 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 for a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15332 – Infill Development Projects, as it involves the construction of eight single-family
residences on a 4.78-acre site.
The Class 32 exemption applies to infill developments on sites less than five acres in size that
are consistent with the applicable general plan and zoning, and which would not result in
significant impacts related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water.
To support this determination, a CEQA Section 15332 exemption report was prepared by CSG
Consultants, Inc. in April 2025, an environmental consulting firm retained by the City. Staff
reviewed the exemption documentation and concluded that the proposed project would not result
in significant environmental impacts, including those related to biological resources, traffic, noise,
and air quality. 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.
7.Both Planning staff and the Planning Commission have determined that the project
complies with the requirement of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s
CEQA Guidelines. An Environmental Impact Report was certified by the City Council on June 16,
2004 as part of the original approvals of the underlying subdivision for the project site,
SUBTT16072. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR
or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the
same project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more
severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances
under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental
impacts; or (iii) new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts
than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce
impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. Staff
has reviewed the project for compliance with CEQA. As the project only involves the construction
of housing product and associated features such as walls within the boundaries of a previously
approved and previously graded subdivision, staff has determined that: i) no substantial changes
Page 339
RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX - Page 6 of 7
6

7
are proposed that indicate new or more severe impacts, ii) no substantial changes have occurred
in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed, iii) no new important
information has been presented as part of this application which shows that project will have new
or more severe impacts than previously considered, and iv) there are no additional or different
mitigation measures which are now feasible or which could be imposed to substantially reduce
impacts.
8.The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 3rd day of December 2025.

Re: Appeal Comment - Vinova Community Project (DRC2024-00395; DRC2025-
00168; DRC2025-00169)
Dear Mayor Michael, Honorable Members of the Rancho Cucamonga City Council, Mr.
McPherson, and Ms. Sevy:
This comment is submitted on behalf of Supporters Alliance for Environmental
Responsibility (“SAFER”) and its members living or working in and around the City of Rancho
Cucamonga (“City”), in support of SAFER’s appeal of the Rancho Cucamonga Planning
Commission’s October 22, 2025 decision to approve the Vinova Community Project (DRC2024-
00395; DRC2025-00168; DRC2025-00169) (“Project”) based on a 2004 environmental impact
report (“EIR”) prepared for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072 . The Project is scheduled to be
heard at the Rancho Cucamonga City Council meeting on December 3, 2025.
The City cannot rely on the 2004 EIR, because CEQA Guidelines section 15162 requires
preparation of a supplemental EIR. As discussed below, new feasible air quality mitigation
measures have become available in the intervening 21 years since the certification of the 2004
EIR that would reduce the Project’s significant and unavoidable air quality impacts. SAFER thus
respectfully requests that the City Council grant SAFER’s appeal, find that the City cannot rely
on the 2004 EIR, and require the City to prepare a supplemental EIR instead.
SAFER’s review of the Project has been assisted by air quality expert Patrick Sutton,

P.E., from Baseline Environmental Consulting. Mr. Sutton’s comment and CV are attached as
Exhibit A and are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project involves the construction of 166 new single-family residences on 70 vacant
acres of the parcel, located near the northeast corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Wilson Avenue, in
the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Surrounding land uses include vacant land to the north and east,
single-family residences to the west, and a water district facility and residences to the south. The
Project site currently has a General Plan land use designation of Traditional Neighborhood and is
zoned Low Residential (L). The remaining 80.8 acres of the parcel would be developed with 188
single-family homes in a separate project by a different developer.
In its approval of the Project, the City relies on an EIR it had originally certified on June
16, 2004 to analyze the development of 354 single-family homes on a 150.8-acre parcel for
Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072.
LEGAL STANDARD
I.CEQA Guidelines § 15162 (Pub. Res. Code § 21166)
The City employs CEQA Guidelines § 15162 (14 Cal. Code Regs. [“CCR”] 15162; Pub.
Res. Code [“PRC”] § 21166) to claim that no supplemental CEQA review is required for the
Project. However, under CEQA Guidelines § 15162, a supplemental EIR is required when:
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have
been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was
certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the
following: . . .
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact
be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project,
but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those
analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects
on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or
alternative.
(14 CCR § 15162(a)(3)(C)-(D).)
As discussed below, under CEQA Guidelines § 15162 a supplemental EIR is required
because multiple new feasible air quality mitigation measures have become available since the
EIR’s 2004 certification that would reduce the Project’s significant impacts. Accordingly, the
City must prepare a supplemental EIR to require the new mitigation measures.

DISCUSSION
I. A supplemental EIR is required because new feasible air quality mitigation
measures have become available since the certification of the 2004 EIR.
Air quality expert Patrick Sutton, P.E., from Baseline Environmental Consulting has
reviewed the City’s Staff Report for the October 22, 2025 Planning Commission hearing on the
Project, the 2004 EIR, and other relevant documents regarding the EIR’s air quality analysis and
mitigation measures. According to the EIR, construction on the parcel where the Project site is
located will have significant and unavoidable air quality impacts from construction and
operational emissions of criteria air pollutants. (Ex. A at 1, 5.) However, Mr. Sutton found that
these impacts can be substantially reduced with incorporation of numerous new air quality
mitigation measures that are substantially different than the measures proposed in the 2004 EIR,
each of which were unavailable in 2004. (Id. at 5.) Unless these mitigation measures are required
by the City and adopted for the Project, a supplemental EIR is required. (Id. at 1.)
A. New mitigation measures are available to reduce the Project’s adverse
construction air quality impacts.
According to the EIR, construction on the Project site would have significant and
unavoidable impacts as a result of criteria air pollutant emissions. (Id.) The estimated daily
emissions of nitrogen oxides (“NOx”) and reactive organic gases (“ROGs”) from construction of
the Project would exceed the significance thresholds of the South Coast Air Quality Management
District (“SCAQMD”), even with implementation of the EIR’s existing proposed construction air
quality mitigation measures. (Id. at 1-2; EIR at 5.4-14, 5.4-27.)
The EIR’s existing mitigation measures to reduce construction emissions of NOx and
ROGs include: (1) MM AQ-5, which states that construction contractors will use construction
equipment with low emissions and high energy efficiency, and that construction grading plans
will include a statement that all construction equipment will be maintained accordingly; (2) MM
AQ-6, which states that construction contractors will use electric or clean alternative fuel-
powered equipment where feasible; (3) MM AQ-7, which states that construction grading plans
will include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use; (4) MM AQ-8,
which states that construction contractors will use architectural coatings with low levels of
volatile organic compounds (“VOCs”); (5) MM AQ-9, which states that temporary traffic control
will be used during soil transportation; and (6) MM AQ-10, which states that only low volatility
paints and coatings will be used. (Ex. A at 2.) Even with the implementation of these mitigation
measures, the EIR concluded construction-related air quality impacts would be significant.
Mr. Sutton identified numerous additional mitigation measures that are considerably
different from those analyzed in the EIR that would substantially reduce the Project’s
construction-related air quality impacts. For example, a new mitigation measure can be
implemented to require all on-road, heavy-duty diesel trucks to be model year 2018 or newer.
(Id. at 3.) Newer model diesel trucks have vastly lower emissions and were not available in 2004.
Appeal Comment Re: Vinova Community Project
December 3, 2025
Page 4 of 5
(Id.)
Additionally, City could require all off-road construction equipment exceeding 50
horsepower to be equipped with electric engines or Tier 4 final engines certified by the
California Air Resources Board. (Id.) Tier 4 Final engines would reduce construction emissions
and were not available in 2004. (Id.)
Super compliant VOC paints are also now available but were not in 2004. The use of
super-compliant VOC paints, rather than just low-VOC paints, would further reduce the Project’s
VOC impacts.
In addition, Mr. Sutton recommends engines should be powered with alternative fuels,
such as natural gas, electricity, propane and hydrogen fuel cells, to the maximum extent possible
during every construction phase and activity. (Id.) These technologies were not readily available
in 2004, but are now available to reduce the Project’s construction-related air quality impact.
Thus, there are readily available mitigation measures that were not analyzed in the 2004
EIR – and could not be analyzed at that time because they were not technologically feasible –
that would substantially reduce Nox, ROG, and VOC emissions during Project construction.
Additional CEQA review through a supplemental EIR is required to effectively evaluate and
mitigate the Project’s air quality impacts. (Id. at 3.)
B. New mitigation measures are available to reduce the Project’s adverse
operational air quality impacts.
According to the EIR, operation on the Project site would also have significant and
unavoidable impacts related to criteria air pollutant emissions. (Id. at 4.) The estimated daily
operational emissions of NOx and ROGs would exceed the SCAQMD’s significance thresholds,
even with implementation of the EIR’s existing proposed operational air quality mitigation
measures. (Id.; EIR at 5.4-15, 5.4-28.)
The EIR’s existing mitigation measures to reduce operational emissions of NOx and
ROGs include: (1) MM AQ-11, which states that the Project will contribute to the cost of off-site
traffic signal installation and synchronization through payment of a traffic signal fair-share
mitigation fee; (2) MM AQ-12, which states that all appliances in the Project’s residential units
will be energy efficient; and (3) MM AQ-13, which states that the Project Applicant will contact
local transit agencies to determine bus routing in the Project area to accommodate bus stops at
the Project access points. (Ex. A. at 4.)
Mr. Sutton identified numerous additional mitigation measures that are
considerably different from those analyzed in the EIR that would substantially reduce the
Project’s operational air quality impacts. For example, a new mitigation measure can be
implemented to require each home to be equipped with electric vehicle charging stations that
meet the California Green Building Standards Code’s most ambitious voluntary standard. (Id. at
5.) A new mitigation measure can also be implemented to require the Project Applicant to use
Appeal Comment Re: Vinova Community Project
December 3, 2025
Page 5 of 5
only electric landscaping equipment rather than equipment powered by gasoline, diesel, or other
fossil fuels. (Id.) In addition, MM AQ-12 could be revised to require the use of all-electric
energy appliances without any natural gas connections and exclude the use of propane and other
fossil fuels for heating and cooking. (Id. at 4.) These technologies were not readily available in
2004 but are now available to reduce the Project’s operational air quality impacts.
There are numerous readily available mitigation measures that were not analyzed in the
2004 EIR – and could not be analyzed at the time because they were not technologically feasible
– that would substantially reduce the Project’s operational NOx and ROG emissions. Additional
CEQA review through a supplemental EIR is required to ensure all feasible mitigation measures
to reduce the Project’s significant air quality impacts. (Id. at 3.)
CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, a supplemental EIR is required to implement new feasible
mitigation measures to reduce the Project’s significant adverse air quality impacts. Therefore,
SAFER respectfully requests that the City Council grant SAFER’s appeal and require the City to
prepare a supplemental EIR. Thank you.

Subject: Review of Air Quality Impacts Analyzed for the Vinova Residential Community,
Rancho Cucamonga, California.
Dear Ms. Davis:
Baseline Environmental Consulting (Baseline) has reviewed the 2025 Staff Report from the City of
Rancho Cucamonga Planning Commission 1 for the Vinova residential community project proposed
by Lennar Homes on Tracts 16072 and 16072-2 in Rancho Cucamonga. According to the Staff
Report, the Vinova project was previously analyzed as part of a 2004 Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) in connection with Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072 (the “project area”) and is exempt from
further review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The 2004 EIR included the
development of 358 single-family homes on 150.8 acres. The Vinova project would develop 166
single-family homes on 70 acres of the project area. The remainder of the project area would be
developed by Toll Brothers and include 188 single family homes.
The primary purpose of our review was to determine whether the potential environmental impacts
related to air quality from implementation of the Vinova project have been properly evaluated,
mitigated, and disclosed to the public. Based on our review, there are numerous improvements that
can be made to the existing mitigation measures identified in the 2004 EIR that would warrant
additional review of the Vinova project under CEQA.
NEW MITIGATION MEASURES AVAILABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION
According to the 2004 EIR, construction of the project area would have a significant and
unavoidable impact related to criteria air pollutant emissions. As summarized in Table 1, the
estimated unmitigated daily emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and reactive organic gases (ROG)
during construction of the project area would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management
District’s (SCAQMD) recommended thresholds of significance.

Map Number 16072, pages 5.4-14 and 5.4-27. November 25.
The 2004 EIR identified the following mitigation measures to reduce construction NOx and ROG
emissions to the maximum extent feasible:
Mitigation Measure AQ-5: The Construction contractor shall select the construction
equipment used on-site based on low emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The
construction contractor shall ensure the construction grading plans include a statement that
all construction equipment will be tuned to and maintained in accordance with the
manufacturers specifications.
Mitigation Measure AQ-6: The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean
alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible.
Mitigation Measure AQ-7: The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-
grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use.
Mitigation Measure AQ-8: The construction contractor shall use low VOC architectural
coating during the construction phase of the project.
Mitigation Measure AQ-9: During construction of the proposed improvements, temporary
traffic control (e.g., flag person) will be provided during soil transport activities. Contractor
will be advised not to idle trucks on site for more than ten minutes.
Mitigation Measure AQ-10: During construction of the proposed improvements, only low
volatility paints and coatings as defined in SCAQMD Rule 1113 shall be used. All paints shall
be applied using either high volume low pressure (HVLP) spray equipment or by hand
application.
As shown in Table 1, the mitigated daily emissions of NOx and ROG during construction would
remain above the SCAQMD’s thresholds of significance. Based on current best practices typically
implemented under CEQA, the existing air quality measures identified in the 2004 EIR can be
improved as follows:
Mitigation Measures AQ-5 and AQ-6 can be revised to require all off-road construction
equipment greater than 50 horsepower to be equipped with electric engines, if available, or
Tier 4 final engines as certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). When the 2004
December 3, 2025
Page 3
EIR was published, the best available technology for off-road equipment was Tier 2 engines.
Since 2015, all new off-road equipment greater than 50 horsepower are equipped with
Tier 4 Final engines, which reduce NOx and ROG emissions by approximately 96% and 86%
relative to the Tier 2 emissions standards, respectively.2
In addition, engines should be fueled with alternative fuels, including natural gas, propane,
hydrogen fuel cell, and electricity, as commercially available and to the maximum extent
feasible during each construction phase and activity. A Construction Emissions Minimization
Plan (Emissions Plan) should be prepared that includes an equipment inventory summarizing
the type of off-road equipment required for each phase of construction, including the
equipment manufacturer, equipment identification number, engine model year, engine
certification (tier rating), horsepower, and engine serial number. In addition, the Emissions
Plan should include a Certification Statement that the Contractor agrees to comply fully with
the Emissions Plan and acknowledges that a significant violation of the Emissions Plan shall
constitute a material breach of contract. The Emissions Plan should be submitted to the City
for review and approval prior to the issuance of building permits.
Mitigation Measures AQ-7 and AQ-9 can be revised to require all on- and off-road diesel
equipment to not idle for more than 2 minutes, except as provided in exceptions to the
applicable state regulations regarding idling for off-road equipment. Documentation should
be provided to equipment operators in multiple languages (e.g., English, Spanish, Chinese) to
remind operators of the 2-minute idling limit.
Mitigation measures AQ-8 and AQ-10 can be revised to require the use and enforcement of
super-compliant volatile organic compound (VOC) paints with a maximum VOC content of
10 grams/liter, which is substantially lower than the current SCAQMD Rule 1113
requirements for low VOC paints that allow a maximum VOC content of 50 grams/liter. It
should be noted that there have been numerous amendments to the SCAQMD Rule 1113
since the 2004 EIR was published, including the most recent amendment in 2016 which
reduced the maximum VOC content in paints to 50 grams/liter. In response, paint
manufacturers have developed super-compliant VOC paints for widespread use in recent
years to remain well below the regulatory requirement.
In addition, the project sponsor should be required to submit a signed certification
statement to the Rancho Cucamonga Planning Commission, confirming that the super-
compliant VOC requirement has been incorporated into the construction contract
specifications, for review and approval.

Page 4
A new mitigation measure should also be incorporated that requires all on-road heavy-duty diesel
trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of 19,500 pounds or greater used at the project site (e.g.,
haul trucks, water trucks, dump trucks, and concrete trucks) to be model year 2018 or newer. Due
to substantial improvement in emission standards for heavy-duty trucks, the NOx and ROG emission
factors for running exhaust in 2018 are approximately 68% and 83% lower than the corresponding
emissions factors for heavy-duty trucks in 2004 when the EIR was published.3
According to 14 CCR 15162 (a)(3)(D), additional CEQA review is required if mitigation measures
which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects on the environment. As described above, there are readily available
mitigation measures that would substantially reduce emissions of NOx and ROG and improve the
enforcement of mitigation measures during construction of the Vinova project; therefore, additional
CEQA review of the Vinova project is warranted to evaluate, mitigate, and disclose the severity of
potential air quality impacts to the public.
NEW MITIGATION MEASURES AVAILABLE FOR OPERATION
According to the 2004 EIR, operation of the project area would have a significant and unavoidable
impact related to criteria air pollutant emissions. As summarized in Table 2, the estimated
unmitigated daily emissions of NOx and ROG during operation of the project area would exceed the
SCAQMD’s recommended thresholds of significance.

Unmitigated Emissions 64.7 87.9

The 2004 EIR identified the following mitigation measures to reduce operation NOx and ROG
emissions to the maximum extent feasible:
Mitigation Measure AQ-11: The proposed project will participate in the cost of off-site
traffic signal installation and synchronization through payment of the traffic signal fair-share
mitigation fee. This fee will be collected and utilized by the City to install and synchronize
traffic lights as needed to prevent congestion of traffic flow on East Avenue between Banyan
Street and the project boundary, and Etiwanda Avenue between Highland Avenue and the
north terminus of Etiwanda Avenue.

Mitigation Measure AQ-12: All appliances within the residential units of the project shall be
energy-efficient as defined by SCAQMD.
Mitigation Measure AQ-13: The project proponent shall contact local transit agencies to
determine bus routing in the project area that can accommodate bus stops at the project
access points and determine locations and feasibility of bus stop shelters provided at project
proponent's expense.
As shown in Table 2, the mitigated daily emissions of NOx and ROG during operation would remain
above the SCAQMD’s thresholds of significance. Based on current best practices typically
implemented under CEQA, these air quality measures can be improved as follows:
Mitigation Measure AQ-12 can be revised to require the use of all-electric energy appliances
without any natural gas connections and exclude the use of propane or other fossil fuels for
space heating, water heating, or indoor cooking.
Mitigation Measure AQ-13 can be revised to require the project proponent to evaluate the
feasibility of establishing a new transit stop within a half mile of the project area prior to the
issuance of building permits. Without a timeframe, the project proponent has no incentive
to complete the mitigation measure. If a new transit stop is feasible, then the transit stop
should be constructed at the project proponent’s expense prior to the issuance of building
occupancy permits.
A new mitigation measure can be incorporated that requires each home to be equipped with
electric vehicle charging infrastructure that, at minimum, meets the most ambitious
voluntary standard (currently Tier 2) in the California Green Building Standards Code at the
time of project approval.
A new mitigation measure can be incorporated that requires the project proponent to use
only electric landscaping equipment. No landscaping equipment powered by gasoline, diesel,
propane, or other fossil fuels should be used. The project proponent should incorporate this
requirement into the project design and tenant contracts (as applicable).
As described above, there are readily available mitigation measures now available that would
substantially reduce emissions of NOx and ROG and improve the enforcement of mitigation
measures during operation of the Vinova project. Pursuant to 14 CCR 15162 (a)(3)(D), additional
CEQA review of the Vinova project is warranted to evaluate, mitigate, and disclose the severity of
potential air quality impacts to the public.
Conclusions
Based on our review of the 2025 Staff Report and 2004 EIR, the significant and unavoidable impacts
related to criteria air pollutant emissions during construction and operation of the Vinova project
can be substantially reduced with the incorporation of new mitigation measures. In accordance with
December 3, 2025
Page 6
14 CCR 15162 (a)(3)(D), additional CEQA review of the Vinova project is required to evaluate,
mitigate, and disclose the severity of potential air quality impacts to the public. It should be noted
that any CEQA review that attempts to tier from the 2004 EIR should also account for the potential
air quality impacts associated with the 188 single-family homes proposed for development by the
Toll Brothers on the remaining portion of the project area.

To the members of the RC Planning Department:
I am a resident near tracts 16072 and 16072-2 off Etiwanda and Wilson. I strongly oppose
the Planning Commission's decision to approve a request for Design Review, Minor
Exception and Variance for 166 single-family residences, squeezing in more homes in
smaller lots rather than the originally planned smaller quantity of larger lots. The more
tightly compacted houses are not consistent with our surrounding neighborhoods, will
more significantly increase traffic congestion, negatively impact the quality of our
environment, and frankly is a sneaky and deceptive way to make changes to the
neighborhood, whose current residents were told otherwise.
Furthermore, I have not received any notice about the proposed development of 73
condominium units and 16 commercial spaces in the SW corner of East and Wilson, but I
passed by a board there with no public hearing notice attached. I strongly oppose any
condominium building and any commercial spaces in this lot and neighborhood. This is a
residential area of single family detached homes on larger lots, not fit for higher density
housing or commercial spaces.

BACKGROUND:
At its regular meeting on June 21, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 912, amending
the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code regarding creative placemaking through public art.
Pertinent to implementation of the ordinance was the formation of the Public Art Committee which

Planning Commission; (ii) one member of the Rancho Cucamonga Community and Art
Foundation; and (iii) three members of the public appointed based on relevant work experience,
trade, industry, or expertise. Committee members serve a term of two (2) years. Duties include
advising the City Council regarding the selection, purchase, placement, and maintenance of art
installed by the City or on City property, and expenditures from the City of Rancho Cucamonga
Public Art Trust Fund.
ANALYSIS:
The terms of three Public Art Committee members will expire on December 31, 2025; Ebony J.
McGee Anderson, Ilianna Salas, and Leslie Matamoros. The Community Services Subcommittee
(Subcommittee) met on November 19, 2025, to interview candidates and recommended
incumbents Ebony McGee and Ilianna Salas for re-appointment. Leslie Matamoros’ term
completed and did not reapply for continued service. The Subcommittee also recommended the
new appointment of Tara Bryan. If approved, their terms will be through December 2027, and will
join the following existing Public Art Committee members:
• Bryan Dopp, Planning Commissioner (Term 3/2025-2/2027)
