A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING
THE REGIONAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BE OPPOSED IN
ITS CURRENT FORM AND TO CHANGE THE WORD "PLAN"
TO "REPORT"
W!~REAS, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has been
designated by State and Federal statues as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the
purposes of regional planning; and
WHEREAS, SCAG has prepared a Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) to address
numerous issues within the SCAG region; and
WHEREAS, the document, with its current title, mandates, pursuant to State law,
the review and implementation of all provisions and chapters which is inconsistent with the overall
intent of the RCP; based on SCAG policy; and
WHEREAS, the Chapters, in some instances, are inconsistent with each other causing
an unclear, subjective interpretation which is inconsistent with the overall intent of the RCP; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of the Plan will result in an additional layer of
nonrepresentations] government with non-elected SCAG staff making decisions that will impact local
government; and
WHEREAS, the RCP does not contain sufficient controls to ensure consistent
decision making by local jurisdictions should the advisory elements become numdatory; and
WHEREAS, implementation of this document conflicts with existing regional
governing emities, delaying the due process by removing local control.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council recommends
opposition to the Regional Comprehensive Plan in its current form and to change the word "Plan" to
"Report" in order to ensure proper emphasis on the advisory nature of the chapters contained in the
document, and object to its contents in its present form.
WHEREAS, the City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
