A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA SUPPORTING HOUSE
RESOLUTION 2927 WHICH AMENDS THE FAIR HOUSING ACT
REGARDING LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING
RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES
WHEREAS, local control is the bulwark of our federal system and local government
is the branch of government most in tune with the needs of local residents; and
WHEREAS, House Resolution 2927 seeks to strengthen local control by giving local
governments more say in regulating residential care facilities; and
WHEREAS, while everyone joins in recognizing the importance of residential care
facilities as a valuable tool for rehabilitation, that fact must be balanced with the needs of existing
residents; and
WHEREAS, local governments like Rancho Cucamonga are best able to determine
local needs and identify appropriate locations to accommodate residential care facilities; and
WHEREAS, House Resolution 2927 recognizes the necessity of local governments
role in this matter by allowing reasonable local and state regulations governing such things as the
proximity of such facilities to each other, the maximum number of allowable occupants, or the
ownership, use, or occupancy of a residential care facility by a convicted felon, registered sex
offender, or recovering drug addict.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga does hereby support the passage of House Resolution 2927 and its recognition of
local governments rightful role in regulating residential care facilities, and further resolves that the
City Clerk should cause a copy of this resolution to be forwarded to our local Members of Congress
and United States Senators so that they might know of our support for this legislation.
