Page 2 of 67
2. The proposed annexation shall be subject to all standard conditions
required by the Local Agency Formation Commission.
NOW,THEREFORE,the City Council as the governing body of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga, California does hereby adopt, approve, resolve, determine and order as follows:
SECTION 1: Based upon the facts and information contained in the record of this
project,the City Council makes the following findings and statements,
and takes the following actions, pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")(Public Resources Code Section
21000 et. seq.):
a. The City of Rancho Cucamonga seeks approval of a series of
actions related to the annexation of approximately 300 acres of
land from unincorporated San Bernardino County into the City of
Rancho Cucamonga, and the approval of a General Plan
Amendment and Etiwanda North Specific Plan Amendment. The
changes in General Plan designation and in the Etiwanda North
Specific Plan will reduce the acreage permitted for development
by 45 acres by changing the General Plan designation for a 45-
acre portion of the property from Very Low Residential (.1-2
dwelling units per acre) to Conservation and changing that
portion of the project site in the Etiwanda North Specific Plan
from Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre)to Flood
Control/Resource Conservation. At the same time, a change is
proposed to allow a change in residential density on 80 acres of
the property from a General Plan designation of Very Low
Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre)to Low Residential (2-4
dwelling units per acre) and a change for that 80-acre portion of
the property in the Etiwanda North Specific Plan from Very Low
Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre)to Low Residential (2-4
dwelling units per acre). These changes in designation for the 80
acres of the site proposed for development will increase the
allowable number of dwelling units on the property from 168 to
218 (an increase in 50 dwelling units). The requested actions do
not include approval of a specific development proposal or the
subdivision of the property. These series of actions and
approvals are hereinafter defined in this Resolution as the
"Project."
b. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has submitted the following
applications relating to the Project:Annexation DRC2003-01164,
General Plan Land Use Amendment DRC2003-01162, and
Etiwanda North Specific Plan Amendment DRC2003-01163
(collectively the "Project Applications").
c. Pursuant to CEQA and the City's local CEQA Guidelines,the City
staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental
effects of the Project.
I
Resolution No. 04-211
Page 3 of 67
d. Based upon the findings contained in the Initial Study, City staff
determined that,with the imposition of mitigation measures,there
was no substantial evidence that the Project would have a
significant effect on the environment and a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, City staff provided public
notice of the public comment period (commencing on April 21,
2004 and ending on May 26, 2004)and of the intent to adopt the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
e. The City Council has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and all comments received prior to and at the June 16, 2004
public hearing and, based on the whole record before it,finds that
the Mitigated Negative Declaration was presented to the City
Council for consideration and that it was prepared in compliance
with CEQA.
f. The City Council finds, based on the whole record, including the
Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, comments to the
Mitigated Negative Declaration, staff report, and staff and public
testimony received at the Planning Commission and City Council
hearings,that there is no substantial evidence that the Projectwill
have a significant effect on aesthetics, agricultural resources,
hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral
resources, population and housing, public services, recreation,
transportation and traffic, and utilities and service systems. The
conclusions for these findings are contained in the analysis of
potential impact to these resources that is contained after the
listing of each resource in the Initial Study.
g. The City Council finds, based on the whole record, including the
Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, comments to the
Mitigated Negative Declaration, staff report, and staff and public
testimony received at the Planning Commission and City Council
hearings,that the impacts to the resources and services listed in
this paragraph will be reduced to less than significant levels with
mitigation measures:
L Air Quality. The eventual development of the Project site
with homes will result in short-term construction related air
quality impacts from on-site stationary sources, construction
vehicles, construction worker vehicles and energy use.
Eleven mitigation measures will be imposed that include, but
are not limited to, requiring the proper maintenance of
equipment, utilization of low-emission mobile construction
equipment where feasible, use of paints and coatings that
meet SCAQMD standards, implementation of measures
designed to reduce fugitive dust such as landscaping,
phased grading, street sweeping and the suspension of
Resolution No. 04-211
Page 4 of 67
grading operations during high wind periods,the use of water
and soil-stabilizing agents, and other measures designed to
reduce project emissions, including the use of electric or
clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible,the
incorporation of low polluting mechanical equipment for
residential structures, and the use of thermal pane windows
and weather-stripping. With these mitigation measures, the
City Council finds that the Project's impacts to air quality will
be mitigated to a level of less than significant.
ii. Biological Resources. This Project does not include the
approval of any development of the site and reduces the
portion of the site authorized for development by 45 acres.
However, to address impacts from potential development of
the site, mitigation measures have been imposed to require
developers who propose development within the Project site
to prepare a Biological Resource Habitat Assessment for the
area of the proposed development and to acquire and convey
to the County of San Bernardino, or some other qualified
conservation entity as approved by the City, land that
supports Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub (RAFSS)
habitat at a ratio of one acre for each acre of RAFSS
disturbed by the proposed project. With these mitigation
measures,the City Council finds that the impacts to biological
resources will be mitigated to a level of less than significant.
iii. Cultural Resources. Although this Project does not involve
the approval of any specific development project for the site,
there is the potential that when developed, Native American
archeological resources could be discovered. Mitigation
measures have been imposed to require the use of a
qualified archaeologist to monitor construction activities, and
to have a qualified paleontologist conduct a pre-construction
survey of the site and to follow specified protocols for the
salvage of any important resources. With these mitigation
measures, the City Council finds that the impacts to cultural
resources are mitigated to a level of less than significant.
iv. Geology and Soils. The Etiwanda Avenue Scarp segment
of the Red Hill Fault Zone traverses a portion of the Project
site. In accordance with the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault
Zone Act, any future development of the site within the
Etiwanda Avenue Scarp segment must be accompanied by a
geotechnical analysis to determine site-specific mitigation
measures. In order to control dust and erosion, four
mitigation measures are imposed that include,stabilization of
the soil to reduce particulate emissions, requiring the
sweeping of area streets, suspending grading operations in
high wind conditions,and the use of chemical soil stabilizers.
With these mitigation measures, the City Council finds that
the impacts to geology and soils will be mitigated to a level of
less than significant.
Resolution No. 04-211
Page 5 of 67
v. Hazards and Waste Materials. The Project site faces on-
going threats of wind-driven fires and is within a hazardous
fire area. The Project site was burned during the October
2003 Grand Prix fire, and after the vegetation returns, the
area is likely to face additional wind-driven fire risks in the
future. To protect against these threats, mitigation measures
are imposed that require the development of the site to
comply with standards imposed by the Rancho Cucamonga
Fire Protection District, and the preparation and
implementation of a Fuel Modification Plan. During site
planning of any development of the site, fire protection
landscaping, design features and planning will be made a
part of that development proposal. With these mitigation
measures, the City Council finds that the risks of wind-driven
fire will be mitigated to a level of less than significant.
A. Noise. Although no development project is approved with
this Project, during future construction of the site, on-site
stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and
construction equipment, is anticipated to generate noise
exceeding City standards. Mitigation measures have been
imposed to regulate the hours of construction operations, to
require the developer to hire a consultant to perform weekly
noise level monitoring, and to impose additional measures if
construction noise exceeds City standards. With these
mitigation measures,the City Council finds that the short-term
noise impacts from the development of the site will be
mitigated to a level of less than significant.
h. The City Council finds, based on the whole record, including the
Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, comments to the
Mitigated Negative Declaration, staff report, and staff and public
testimony received at the Planning Commission and City Council
hearings,that the Project has the potential for contributing to the
cumulative impacts identified in the Program EIR for the 2001
City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. Upon approval of that
General Plan, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding
Considerations of significant adverse environmental effects to
aggregate resources, prime farmland, air quality, the acoustical
environment, library services, aesthetics and visual resources.
Mitigation measures were imposed;however,they did not reduce
impacts to less than significant levels. The City Council found
that the benefits of the General Plan, including less overall traffic
volumes as a result of pedestrian-friendly mixed use
development and conservation of valuable open space,
outweighed the unavoidable impacts from the General Plan. This
Project is within the scope of the General Plan EIR and the City
Council finds that by clustering the development into a smaller
area, that the changes proposed by this Project are consistent
with the General Plan's intent to reduce traffic volumes and
preserve open space.
Resolution No. 04-211
Page 6 of 67
L The City Council finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration
reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City
Council. Based on all of the findings contained in this Resolution,
and the evidence in the record, the City Council hereby adopts
the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project.
j. The mitigation measures in the Mitigated Negative Declaration
that correspond to the environmental impacts which may result
from the Project are hereby adopted and made a condition of
approval of, or incorporated into, the Project.
k. The City Council has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the Project that has been prepared
pursuant to the requirements of Public Resources Code Section
21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure
compliance with the mitigation measures during project
implementation. The City Council hereby adopts the "Mitigation
Monitoring Plan"attached as Exhibit"F"to the June 16,2004 City
Council staff report for this Project. The Mitigation Monitoring
Plan shall be used to monitor compliance with the mitigation
measures and conditions that have been adopted or made a
condition of Project approval as set forth in this Section of this
Resolution and in the Mitigation Monitoring Plan.
I. The City Council designates the custodian of records for the
Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring
Program, and all other materials which constitute the record of
proceedings upon which the City Council's decision is based to
be the office of the City Planner of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga, located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho
Cucamonga, California 91730.
SECTION 2: Application and proposal is hereby made to the Local Agency
Formation Commission of the County of San Bernardino for Change

I. Introduction
A. Introduction
This document has been prepared to provide the San Bernardino County Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO) and other interested individuals and agencies with
pertinent information relating to governmental functions, facilities, services and costs
and revenues applicable to proposed Annexation No. 04-XX to the City of Rancho
Cucamonga, California.
This annexation proposal has been initiated by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. This
document supports the City's petition by addressing all of the service related
considerations applicable to the property, thereby permitting the LAFCO Staff and
Board Members to fully understand, evaluate and approve the annexation request. This
plan of services addresses the basic level of public services that are required to support
the future development of the properties annexed and the associated population growth
and the manner in which urban and municipal services will be provided.
The proposed annexation area is located north of Wilson Avenue between East Avenue
and Wardman-Bullock Road, in an unincorporated area of San Bernardino County
within the City of Rancho Cucamonga's Sphere of Influence; the area has been pre-
zoned by virtue of the City's adoption of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan (ENSP) in
1992. The proposed annexation includes a total of 300-acres. Within the 300 acres,
only 95 acres has residential development potential — 40 acres located at the northeast
corner of Wilson Avenue and East Avenue, 40 acres located at the northwest comer of
Wilson Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road, and an additional 15 acres located on the
west side of Wardman-Bullock Road north of Wilson Avenue. In addition, the
annexation area includes 205-acres of land designated Flood Control and Open
Space/Conservation and Utility Corridor.
There are no specific proposals for development at this time. However, the City has
conducted Environmental Review and a General Plan and Etiwanda North Specific Plan
Amendments to change the residential land use for 80-acres from Very Low Residential
(.1 to 2 dwelling units per acre) to Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre). Future
development of the area could yield approximately 218 dwelling units, as illustrated in
Table 1 below.

B. Project Background
The Etiwanda North Specific Plan comprises approximately 6,840 acres and is
located within the City of Rancho Cucamonga and its Sphere of Influence. The
project site is located within the unincorporated portion of San Bernardino County.
The project includes the annexation of 300-acres from San Bernardino County into
the City of Rancho Cucamonga. As part of the approval process, the City of Rancho
Cucamonga prepared an Initial Study Environmental Checklist to address issues
associated with the Land Use amendments and the annexation.
The existing and uses within the annexation area presently comprised of Flood
Control facilities (Etiwanda Creek basins), vacant land, and one single-family
residence located on Wardman-Bullock Road approximately 2,000 feet north of
Wilson Avenue. The surrounding area is a combination of Flood Control land and
facilities, single-family residential development or land that is being entitled for
single-family development. A summary of surrounding land uses and land use
designations are reflected in Table 2 below.

II. Planning and Statutory Consideration
A. Planning Considerations
The proposed annexation area is contained within the City of Rancho Cucamonga's
Sphere of Influence. The City's General Plan current land use designation for the site
is Very Low Residential (130 acres), Open Space/Conservation (160 acres), and
Utility Corridor (10 acres). Of the 130-acres presently designated Very Low
Residential, 80 acres are proposed for amendment to Low Residential, and 35 acres
are proposed to be amendment to Open Space/Conservation, leaving 15 acres as Very
Low Residential.
The project is also included in the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, adopted by the City
Council on April 1, 1992. At this time the proposed project consists of amendments
to both the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan and the Etiwanda North
Specific, and annexation to the City. No proposals for site-specific development are
being considered at this time.
B. City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan
The City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan designation for the 300-acre project
site is currently shown as Very Low Residential (0.1 to 2 dwelling units per acre) for
130 acres, Open Space Conservation (i.e. Flood Control) for 160 acres, and Utility
Corridor on 10 acres. The General Plan Amendment proposes a change from Very
Low Residential to Low Residential for 80 acres (40-acres located at the northeast
comer of Wilson Avenue and East Avenue; and 40 acres at the northwest comer of
Wilson Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road). In addition, the General Plan
Amendment proposes to change 35 acres from Very Low Residential to Open
Space/Conservation, for a total area of 205 acres designated Open Space
Conservation. A 15-acre portion of the project area will remain as Very Low
Residential.
The proposed Low Residential District is intended as an area for single-family
residential with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet (average lot area of at least
10,000 square feet) and a maximum density of 4 dwelling units per acre; and the Very
Low Residential District is intended as an area for single family residential uses with
a maximum density of up to 2 dwelling units per acre. In addition, the project site is
within the Equestrian/Rural Overlay District. The Overlay District extends generally
north of Banyan Street between the western City limits and Milliken Avenue, and
then north of I-210 Freeway between Milliken Avenue and eastern City limits. The
District allows the keeping of horses and other farm animals.

C. Etiwanda North Specific Plan
The project area is subject to the policies set forth in the Etiwanda North Specific
Plan. The Etiwanda North Specific Plan is a specific area acknowledged in the City's
General Plan subject to land use and community design within the north Etiwanda
area. The Etiwanda North Specific Plan was adopted on April 1, 1992 (Ordinance
493) and comprises of a 6,840 acres within the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the
City's Sphere of Influence. The project is located in Sub Areas 2.3, 6, and 8 of the
Etiwanda North Specific Plan, portions of the Upper Etiwanda and Etiwanda
Highlands neighborhoods.
The Etiwanda North Specific Plan designates the site as Very Low Residential,
Utility Corridor, and Flood Control. The Very Low Residential portion lies along
East Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road; the Flood Control portion lies between the
two residential areas, surrounding the Etiwanda Creek basins and drainage system;
and the Utility Corridor portion lies along a portion of the east-west Southern
California Edison corridor near the northern segment of the annexation area.
The proposed project includes a Specific Plan Amendment that would change the
current designation of Very Low Residential (.1-2 Dwelling Unit per Acre) to Low
Residential (2-4 Dwelling Units per Acre) for 80-acres of the 300-acre annexation
area; and from Very Low Residential to Flood Control for 35-acres. The remainder of
the 300-acre annexation area will remain within the existing land use designations of
Flood Control and Very Low Residential.
D. Applicable Laws
LAFCO is authorized and mandated by State law as the agency responsible for
evaluating and approving annexations to an incorporated city. Subsequent to the
initial consideration of an annexation request by the City, a public hearing is held
before the LAFCO Board where the annexation proposal is approved, denied, or
modified. The following Protest Procedures for LAFCO proceedings are outlined in
California Government Code (within Section 57000) and summarized in the LAFCO
Procedures and Guidelines.
1. Following a LAFCO Commission action to approve an annexation, a resolution of
that action is forwarded to affected agencies and individuals. Thirty days
following the LAFCO Commission action the Protest Period is announced though
a combination of publication of a legal advertisement in the local newspaper and
through mailing of individual notices to anyone who has previously request such
notices. The protest period can be no less than 15 days nor more than 60 days,
from the date of the announcement. All protests must follow strict LAFCO
requirements, but generally they must be in writing and be received during the
protest period. The protest must also indicate whether the letter is from a
landowner and/or a registered voter from within the annexation area; only those
10
Plan for Services
Resolution No. 04-211
Page 20 of 67
that are either a landowner and/or a registered voter form within the annexation
area are eligible to submit a valid protest.
2. At the conclusion of the protest period, LAFCO staff will make a finding of the
results of any protests received for adoption by the LAFCO Commission. The
Commission must take one of the following actions based on the result of the
protest findings:
a. For uninhabited annexations (<12 registered voters within the annexation
area)the Commission must either:
• terminate the annexation if protest is received from 50% or more of the
assessed value of land owners (improvement values are not counted)
within the annexation area; or
• approve the annexation if written protest is submitted by landowners
who own less than 50% of the assessed value of the annexation area.
b. For inhabited annexations (>12 registered voters within the annexation area)
the Commission must either:
• terminate the annexation if protest is received from 50% or more of the
registered voters in the annexation area;
• call an election if protest is received from at least 25% and less than
50% of the registered voters, or if 25% to 100% of the number of
landowners —who own at least 25% of the total annexation land value —
submit a written protest [The voters (whether they own land or not)
would then decide the issue by majority vote in a special election]; or
• approve the annexation without an election if written protest is received
from less than 25% of the voters and less than 25% of the landowners
(owning less than 25% of the land value).
The above referenced requirements also require the submittal of a plan for services
for areas to be annexed. This document satisfies this statutory requirement.

III. Service Considerations
A. Roadways and Transportation Services
The proposed development is not located within any Transit Service Corridor.
Primary access will be provided via Wilson Avenue, East Avenue and Wardman-
Bullock Road. The annexation area is located on the north side of Wilson Avenue
between East Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road.
The proposed project does not include any specific proposals for development at his
time. However, based on the analysis in the Environmental Checklist, future
development of the residentially zoned properties (95 acres total) will require
improvements to East Avenue, Wilson Avenue, and Wardman-Bullock Road at the
time of development to accommodate vehicles traveling to and from the site. The
future residential projects will be required to provide street improvements (curb,
gutter and sidewalk) along all street frontages of the site and within the project, as
well as the completion of Wilson Avenue between East Avenue and Wardman-
Bullock Road. The City of Rancho Cucamonga will assume responsibility for street
maintenance of public arterial roadways within the annexation area.
B. Electricity
The proposed annexation area lies within the service boundaries of the Southern
California Edison Company (SCE). SCE has indicated that the demands associated
with the project are accommodated within their master planning efforts and service
can be extended to the site.
The costs and rate structure to the property owners for these services are controlled by
the Public Utilities Commission. As these services are provided by private
companies on a user-pays-all fees basis, no additional costs to the City would be
incurred due to annexation. Assuming buildout of the approximately 218 lots,
electrical consumption for the project site, based on SCE designated criteria, is
estimated as follows:
218 dwellings X 7kw/unit= 1,526 kw per month; or 18,312 kw annually.
C. Natural Gas
Natural Gas is provided by The Gas Company. The Gas Company maintains natural
gas pipelines in Etiwanda Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road. Natural gas service
will be provided via extensions of these existing transmission pipelines. The Gas
Company anticipates no problems in extending service to the site and has included
the project in its master planning efforts.
12
Plan for Services
Resolution No. 04-211
Page 22 of 67
The costs and rate structure to the property owners for these services are controlled by
the Public Utilities Commission. As these services are provided by private
companies on a user-pays-all fees basis, no additional costs to the City would be
incurred due to annexation. Annual gas consumption upon development of the site is
estimated to be about 85 therms per unit per average month, for a total of 18,530
therms;per month or 222,360 therms per year.
D. Telephone Services.
The telephone service to the project site is provided by Verizon Communications.
The facilities will be extended from Etiwanda Avenue or Wardman-Bullock Road
into the respective developable areas of the project site. Verizon anticipates no
problems in providing communication services to the project site.
E. Drainage Services
The majority of the drainage from the annexation area will continue to surface drain
to Etiwanda Creek. Future development proposals will be required to convey
drainage to the City storm drain system. All streets will be designed to accommodate
storm waters that could exceed the top of curbs in the event of a 25-year storm as well
as the right-of- way for a 100-year storm. All necessary facilities will be localized in
nature and will be inspected and maintained by the City of Rancho Cucamonga
Engineering Division.
The County of San Bernardino Flood Control District is responsible for the
maintenance of the Etiwanda Creek channel and basin system, which lies within the
mid-portion of the project site. The San Bernardino Flood Control District has
planned improvements to the Etiwanda Creek Basin system. Channel and basin
improvements have been designed to capture all flows entering the creek and
conveying the flows and then offsite. .
F. Water Services
The Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) covers approximately 50 square
miles, and provides water treatment, storage, and distribution of domestic water to all
of Rancho Cucamonga, adjacent unincorporated County areas, and portions of the
Cities of Ontario, Fontana and one tract in Upland. CVWD derives water from three
sources — groundwater (43%), surface water (12%) and imported water (45%).
Groundwater is derived primarily from the Cucamonga basin. Groundwater may also
be pumped from the Chino basin, but must be replenished through purchases of State
Water Project (imported) water. Canyon water is derived from surface and
subsurface water form Cucamonga, Deer, Day, and East Etiwanda Canyons. CVWD
13
Plan for Services
Resolution No. 04-211
Page 23 of 67
also purchases water from northern California via the State Water Project. The
current daily usage in the CV WD service area is approximately 42 million gallons per
day.
Residential water use amounts to 60 percent of the total water consumed, followed by
landscaping at 20 percent. CVWD's master plan estimates demand needs through the
year 2030; with residential water demand is expected to continue to be the greatest
sources of water demand. CVWD anticipates growth by ensuring that adequate
facilities are available to meet the water demand as it arises. CVWD is also one of
seven member agencies that operate under the umbrella of the Inland Empire Utilities
Agency (IEUA). The IEUA had adopted a 10-year growth or capital improvement
program that is based upon growth projections provided by the member agencies.
CVWD is responsible for collecting developer fees for the construction and operation
of water facilities.
The CVWD will supply domestic water to the site. The site currently contains one
exisisitng single-family residence, and which can be assumed to use approximately
640 gallons per day. The remainder of the site is undeveloped. Water is currently
provided to the area by a 12-inch main located along Wardman-Bullock Road located
along the east boundary of the proposed annexation area.
The proposed annexation area holds the potential for approximately 218 single-family
residences to be connected to the CVWD domestic water system. Single-family
residential units have a daily water demand of 640 gallons per day(GPD). Thus, the
project will result in an increased water demand of the CVWD system of 139,520
GPD. This represents a less than one percent increase in water currently demanded
from existing development within the City.
G. Sewer Services
The Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) currently covers over 240 square miles
and operates four wastewater treatment facilities that serve the cities of Rancho
Cucamonga, Fontana, Ontario, Upland, Montclair, Chino, and Chino Hills. An
additional treatment facility is currently planned. Two of the exisisitng treatment
plants, Regional Plants I and 4, serve development within the City of Rancho
Cucamonga. CVWD provides conveyance facilities to the treatment plants. The
project site is with the service area of treatment plant number 4 (RP-4). RP-4 is
located on 6`h Street and Etiwanda Avenue in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
plant treats approximately 37.9 million gallons per day (MGD) of wastewater and has
a capacity of 44 MGD. The water treatment facilities cleanse the treated water to a
tertiary level and it is then used for irrigation proposed. Development fees are
collected by member agencies for wastewater treatment facilities and passed on to the
IEUA to use for new treatment plant construction.
14
Plan for Services
Resolution No. 04-211
Page 24 of 67
With the exception of extending pipelines to the project site, there will be no
requirement for the construction of a new water or wastewater treatment facilities or
expansion of existing facilities. The future projects will connect to the existing sewer
lines in the surrounding area.
Based on the CVWD Master Plan and IEUA estimates, wastewater generation in the
project area is approximately 270 gallons of wastewater per unit per day. Therefore,
the 218 residential units proposed will generate approximately 58,860 gallons of
sewage per day. This represents less than one percent of current wastewater treated at
RP-4, and will not exceed capacity of the plant.
In addition, the proposed project will comply with all regional Water Quality Control
Board wastewater treatment requirements and will obtain required NPDES (National
Pollution Discharge Elimination Systems) and SWPPP (Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan)permits prior to project construction.
H. Police Services
The City of Rancho Cucamonga has contracted with the San Bernardino County
Sheriffs Department for police service since 1978. Currently the City contract
includes 93 uniformed officers — including 11 sergeants, 2 lieutenants and one
captain. With a population of 146,700 (January 2003 Department of Finance
estimate) the current ratio of officers to residents is approximately 0.63 officers for
every 1,000 residents. The projected average response time to an emergency call for
serviced within the vicinity of the project site is at five minutes.
The City's Police Department is temporarily located at 8340 Utica Avenue in the City
of Rancho Cucamonga, the permanent facility at 10510 Civic Center Drive, adjacent
to City Hall, is currently being expanded and remodeled.
Police service calls will incrementally increase as result of the proposed project. The
proposed project will increase population by approximately 685 residents thus
creating the need for approximately 0.43 additional officers if the current
officer/resident ratio is maintained. The funds for additional police officers are
provided as part of the City General Fund. Each year the City's annual budget
negotiation with the Sheriffs department results in additional officers to be added to
the Police force.
I. Fire Protection & Emergency Medical Response
The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (RCFPD) provides fire protection
and emergency medical response to approximately 50 square miles, which includes
the City Sphere of influence and the project site. Six fire stations are located within
15
Plan for Services
Resolution No. 04-211
Page 25 of 67
the City; and the RCFPD currently maintains a personnel ratio of 0.18 firefighter per
1,000 residents. The goal of RCFPD is to provide a five-minute response time for 90
percent of emergency calls placed within the City. Currently the City is providing
five-minute service for 85 percent of the emergency calls. Existing fire stations 173,
175 and 176 will serve the project area.
Station 173 — 12158 Base Line Road (3 fire fighters)
Station 175 — 11108 Banyan Avenue (6 firefighters)
Station 176—East Avenue at 23`d Street—(3 firefighters)
The proposed project will incrementally increase the population in the vicinity by 685
residents thus creating the need for 0.12 additional firefighter personnel in order to
maintain the current firefighter personnel/resident ratio. With the recent opening of
Station 176, located approximately one-mile from the site, the current response times
will continue to be less than five—minutes to the project site.
The RCFPD also participates in an automatic response agreement, known as West
End Joint Power Authority(West End),with neighboring fire departments to send the
closest fire engine to a reported structure fire without regard to the city boundaries.
The American Medical Response (AMR), a private ambulance service, provides
ambulance service for the residents in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. AMR is
located at 7925 Center Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga.
J. Libraries
The Rancho Cucamonga Public Library system will serve the project area upon
annexation. The Rancho Cucamonga Library is located in a 2,200 square foot
building in the City of Rancho Cucamonga on Archibald Avenue, north of Interstate
10 Freeway and west of Interstate 15 Freeway. The Library contains approximately
115,000 books (novels, magazines, references, etc,) and serves a full-time population
of over 146,000 residents. In addition, the City has planned a new library within the
Victoria Gardens regional shopping center of approximately 22,000 square feet,
which serve the projected need at build-out of the City.
Library funding is derived form a percentage of the property tax allocation and
disbursement with the County of San Bernardino (refer to the Fiscal Impact
Analysis).
K. Street Lighting
The project presently does not contain any streetlights, however, will be required to
install streetlights with development. The project will be annexed to the City of
16
Plan for Services
Resolution No. 04-211
Page 26 of 67
Rancho Cucamonga's existing City-wide Arterial Street lighting District, and the
Etiwanda North Street Light District.
L. Solid Waste
Burrtec Waste Industries will collect refuse from the project area under franchise
agreement with the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Burrtec takes all refuse collected to
the Transfer Station of Napa Street, at which point approximately 60% to diverted to
the Mid-Valley land fill in Rialto, the remaining refuse is transported out of the
county landfill system.
The City has implemented recycling programs, as required by state law, local Source
Reduction and Recycling Element.
M. School Services
The annexation area will be served by the Etiwanda School District (grades K
through 8) and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District (grades 9 through 12).
Based on the generation factors used by the Etiwanda School District, the area will
generate approximately 140 K-8 and 30 high school students from the 218 new
homes. Approximately 95 of these students would be would be elementary level (K-
5) and 45 would be intermediate level (grades 6-8). The total students generated
would be approximately 170.
Historical enrollments in both Chaffey Joint Union High School District and the
Etiwanda Elementary School District have increased dramatically over the past 10
years. Historical student generation data from the districts indicate the project could
generate an addition of approximately 170 students at build out, based on a total of
0.78 students per household.
At present enrollments at all schools serving the project are at or over their capacities.
However, recent changes in school financing laws indicate that payment of state-
mandated developer impact fees represent full and complete mitigation under CEQA,
regardless of the enrollment to capacity conditions of the affected schools.
N. Parks and Recreation Services
The City of Rancho Cucamonga Community Services Department serves the
surrounding parks and recreation facilities. The recreational amenities and programs
include - Community Center at Lions East and Lions West, Senior Center, Family
Sports Center, Epicenter/Sports Complex, and 20 park sites throughout the City. All
17
Plan for Services

programs and facilities are funded through a combination of user fees and City
general fund.

IV. Fiscal Analysis
The project will be annexed to the City of Rancho Cucamonga's existing Landscape
Maintenance District No. 7 for perimeter street landscape maintence, the City-wide
Arterial Street lighting District, and the Etiwanda North Street Light District.
A Fiscal Impact Analysis has been prepared on behalf of the City addressing the general
costs and revenue anticipated as a result of the annexation. The report '300-Acre Fiscal

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ETIWANDA CREEK
The following is a summary of the projected fiscal impacts of Etiwanda Creek at full
buildout assuming annexation to the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Annually recurring fiscal
impacts are projected for the City's General Fund and the Rancho Cucamonga Fire
Protection District.
Project Description
The Etiwanda Creek project area is located within the Etiwanda North Specific Plan
(ENSP) in unincorporated San Bernardino County. The proposed annexation area,
comprised of approximately 300 acres, is generally located north of Wilson Avenue
between East Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road. Approximately 205 acres of the area
is characterized by Etiwanda Creek, including the spreading basins,drainage system and
conservation area. Etiwanda Creek area could generate a (there is no development
proposal currently submitted) residential development of 218 homes on about 95 gross
acres. The population for Etiwanda Creek is projected at 686,assuming 3.15 persons per
unit. Assessed valuation is projected at $120.5 million based on an average housing
valuation of$552,672 per unit.
Fiscal Impacts
Table A presents the projected recurring fiscal impacts to the City's General Fund and
the projected recurring revenues to the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga provides a full range of public services, including: police
protection; other related emergency/non-emergency services; public works, including
engineering, road maintenance and park maintenance; community services; planning
services; library services and general government.
The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District provides fire protection to the proposed
project as a subsidiary district. In addition, a landscape maintenance district (LMD) is a
separate entity that covers the maintenance of storm drains,slopes, detention basins,trails
or a combination thereof. The LMD has no effect on the revenues and costs presented

under the City General Fund. Fiscal impacts are presented in constant 2004 dollars,with
no adjustment for future inflation.

Page 34 of 67
Property tax rates for the project area are based on information provided by the San
Bernardino County Local Agency Formation Commission, the County of San Bernardino
Auditor-Controller's office and the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Due to uncertainty in the
full impact of the ongoing State of California's budget adjustments overtime,a hypothetical
decrease in the Motor Vehicle License Fee has been used in this analysis to test potential
changes. However, it is recognized that the actual changes may manifest themselves in
different ways.
City General Fund -No MVLF Reduction
An annual recurring surplus of$72.1 thousand is projected for the City General Fund after
full buildout of Etiwanda Creek. The projected surplus is based on revenues of$247.2
thousand, and costs of $175.1 thousand, including a 15 percent contingency costs
estimate. The revenue/cost ratio for the City General Fund is estimated 1.41.
The major recurring revenues projected forthe City General Fund are property tax;off-site
retail sales and use tax; and motor vehicle license in-lieu revenues. Projected major
recurring costs forthe project are police protection and public works maintenance of public
arterial and local roadways in the annexation area. A landscape maintenance district will
maintain landscaping, slope areas, trails and landscaped parkways and medians.
City General Fund -With MVLF Reduction
Under this scenario it is assumed that revenues from the State for motor vehicle license
fees will be reduced by about two-thirds due to budget cuts at the State level. An annual
recurring surplus of$45.4 thousand is projected forthe City General Fund afterfuil buildout
of Etiwanda Creek. The projected surplus is based on revenues of$220.5 thousand,and
costs of $175.1 thousand, including a 15 percent contingency costs estimate. The
revenue/cost ratio for the City General Fund is estimated 1.26.
Potential Impacts of Recent Passage of Proposition 57
According to the March 16, 2004 City Budget Update memorandum from City Manager,
Jack Lam, one outcome of the recent passage of Proposition 57 is that the City will
experience a%cent sales tax shift to the State instead of the earlier''/2 cent shift proposal.
While this would reduce the sales tax generated by the residents of the project by about
Stanley R.Hoffman Associates,in c. v Etiwanda Creek Annexation Fiscal Analysis
May 3,2004 City of Rancho Cucamonga
Resolution No. 04-211
Page 35 of 67
$13.3 thousand,the project would still be estimated to have an annual recurring surplus of
approximately$58.8 thousand to $32.0 thousand.
Rancho cucamonga Fire Protection District
The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District(RCFPD)service area currently includes
the incorporated City of Rancho Cucamonga and the City's Sphere of Influence;therefore
the proposed Etiwanda Creek development is currently located within the RCFPD
jurisdictional boundaries. Based on the information provided by the City, the RCFPD
currently has adequate funding to provide fire protection services within its jurisdictional
boundaries. The Etiwanda Creek development will contribute annual property tax and
earned interest revenues projected at$150.2 thousand to the RCPFD.
Landscape Maintenance District
The proposed storm drain, landscaped slopes, detention basins and trails are to be
maintained by a landscape maintenance district. At this time it has not been determined if
the project facilities will be included in a new LIVID to be formed, or if it will be annexed to
an existing LIVID. Under either scenario, the maintenance of the common area
landscaping, slopes, and trails will not impact the City of Rancho Cucamonga General
Fund.

CHAPTER1
INTRODUCTION
This report presents the fiscal impact analysis for Etiwanda Creek assuming annexation to
the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The fiscal impact analysis projects recurring public
revenues and costs to the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Fund and the Rancho
Cucamonga Fire Protection District assuming full development of the project.
The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District is a subsidiary district with its own budget
separate from the City's General Fund. Additionally, an LMD will be, used for the
operations and maintenance of common areas, but it has not been determined if Etiwanda
Creek will annex into an existing LMD or if a new one will be created.
1.1 Background
The property comprising Etiwanda Creek is located in the northeast portion of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga's Sphere of Influence in the unincorporated area of San Bernardino
County. As shown in Figure 1-1, the project is generally located north of Wilson Avenue
between East Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road. Upon annexation,the entire project
would be within the City limits of Rancho Cucamonga.
Etiwanda Creek is a community of about 300 gross acres in size,of which some 95.0 acres
are proposed for residential development. The other 205 acres are allocated for spreading
basins, drainage system and conservation areas. Potential development within the area is
estimated at 218 residential dwelling units for an overall density of about 0.7 units per total
acre and 2.3 units per residential acre. The buildout population of the area is estimated at
686 based on a factor of 3.15 persons per unit.
The focus of the fiscal analysis is the ongoing operations and maintenance costs of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga as provided through the General Fund revenues plus the Fire
Protection District revenues and costs. General Fund revenues include property,sales and
use taxes and other taxes; franchise fees; fines and forfeitures; licenses and permits;
charges for current services; revenues from other agencies; use of money and property;

and other miscellaneous revenues. The Gas Tax Fund receives revenues primarily from
gasoline taxes collected by the Federal and State governments and are restricted for road
related capital and operations and maintenance costs.
The ongoing range of services that the City of Rancho Cucamonga provides includes:
• Police protection
• Planning
• Public works, including engineering, road maintenance and park maintenance
• Community services
• Library services
• General government
The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District, as a subsidiary district governed by the
City Council, provides fire protection services to the City and the Sphere of Influence area.
1.2 Approach
The fiscal analysis presents the projected recurring impacts of the proposed development
associated with Etiwanda Creek. Fiscal impacts are projected for the City General Fund
and the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District.
The fiscal analysis is based on data and assumptions from the following sources:
• City of Rancho Cucamonga revenue and cost factors are estimated based on the
General Fund Adopted Budget Fiscal Year 2003/2004 and discussions with key City
staff.
• The fiscal methodology is based on the Fiscal Analysis, General Plan Update, City of
Rancho Cucamonga, prepared by Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, October 2, 2000.
• Some project information was obtained from the Plan for the Provision of Municipal
Services,Annexation No. 01-01 to The City of Rancho Cucamonga, prepared by the
City, November 5, 2001.
• Residential valuation estimates are based on sales data provided by similar projects
that have been developed or proposed in the City or within the sphere of influence.
• Estimated population is based on 3.15 persons per household,as provided by the City
of Rancho Cucamonga.
• Cost and revenue factors are projected in constant 2004 dollars, i.e., not adjusted for
inflation.
• Existing land uses are provided by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

• Property tax rates for the project area are based on information provided by the San
Bernardino County Local Agency Formation Commission, the County of San
Bernardino Auditor-Controller's office and the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
• Also, there is uncertainty in the full impact of the ongoing State of California's budget
adjustments over time. For this analysis, a hypothetical decrease in the Motor Vehicle
License Fee has been used to test potential changes. However, it is recognized that
the actual changes may manifest themselves in different ways.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This chapter presents the detailed development description for Etiwanda Creek assuming
full buildout of the area.
2.1 Development Description After Buildout
Acres, Units and Population. Etiwanda Creek area has a total potential of 95-acres
residential land for 218 single family detached homes. As shown in Table 2-1, there are
approximately 95 gross acres of residential uses. Other acreage associated with the
development includes 205 acres of conservation space/flood control areas. Of the 95
acres, some 15 acres are proposed for 18 units and the remaining 80 acres are proposed
for 200 units. The respective average densities are 1.2 dwelling units per acre and 2.5
dwelling units per acre with an overall density of about 2.3 units per residential acre.
Buildout population for the Etiwanda Creek area is estimated at 686 persons based on an
average of 3.15 persons per housing unit. Population per housing unit is based on
information from the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Project Valuation. As shown in Table 2-2, total residential valuation for the Etiwanda
Creek area is estimated at $120.5 million after buildout, based on an average value of
$552,672 per unit. As presented in Table 2-2, the valuation is derived via a weighted
average of other single family detached units of comparable developments that have been
proposed for annexation to the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The comparable units have a
combined estimated valuation of$414.50 million spread across an estimated 750 single-
family units.
2.2 Public Infrastructure
Streets. Primary access to Etiwanda Creek will be provided via Wardman-Bullock Road.
As shown in Table 2-3, there is an estimated 6.61 street lane miles to be developed as a
part of the project; this includes local streets within the project boundaries of Etiwanda
Creek. All 6.61 lane miles of streets are assumed to be public streets maintained by the
City of Rancho Cucamonga, once annexed by the City. The local street lane miles are

CHAPTER
PROJECTED FISCAL IMPACTS
This chapter presents the fiscal analysis of Etiwanda Creek to the City of Rancho
Cucamonga. This analysis first focuses on the recurring revenues and costs that impact
the City of Rancho Cucamonga's General Fund,described in Section 3.1. This is followed
by a projection of recurring revenues to the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District
presented in Section 3.2. All projections are presented in constant 2004 dollars with no
adjustment for future inflation and assume full buildout.
3.1 Rancho Cucamonga General Fund
The fiscal impacts presented assume that the City of Rancho Cucamonga will receive 7.0
percent of the 1.0 percent basic property tax levy for the General Fund and 1.7 percent of
the basic levy for the Library Fund. Impacts are also presented assuming: 1)no impact on
MVLF fees; and 2) a two-thirds reduction in MVLF fees due to proposed State budget
adjustments.
No Impact on MVLF
Table 3-1 presents the projected fiscal impacts for the City's General Fund assuming that
there is no reduction in revenues received from the State in the category of motor vehicle
license fees. Recurring revenues are projected at $247.2 thousand. Annual direct
recurring costs are projected at$152.3 thousand. Added to the projected direct costs is a
contingency cost, calculated at 15 percent of direct costs, or$22.8 thousand. Adjusted
total recurring costs, including estimated direct costs and contingency costs,are projected
at $175.1 thousand. A recurring surplus of $72.1 thousand is projected for Etiwanda
Creek, as shown in Table 3-1. The revenue/cost ratio is calculated at 1.41.
Projected Revenues. Projected recurring revenues to the City of Rancho Cucamonga
General Fund include property tax; property transfer tax;off-site sales and use tax; motor
vehicle license in-lieu revenues; Proposition 172 sales tax; franchise fees; fines and
forfeitures; charges for services; other revenue; library revenue; and state gasoline tax.

The largest projected revenue source is property tax at $84.3 thousand, representing
approximately 34.1 percent of total projected recurring revenues. Off-site sales and use
tax is the second largest projected revenue source at$53.4 thousand and 21.6 percent of
the total revenues. Motor vehicle license in-lieu revenues are projected at$40.1 thousand
and 16.2 percent, the third largest recurring revenue. These three revenue sources
represent approximately 71.9 percent of total projected recurring revenues.
Proiected Costs. Table 3-1 also presents projected recurring costs to the City General
Fund for Etiwanda Creek at buildout. Recurring direct costs to the City of Rancho
Cucamonga General Fund include police protection; animal control, engineering; public
works maintenance; facilities maintenance; planning; library; community services;
contribution to the Fire District; and general government costs.
Police protection costs are projected at about$52.7 thousand and account for 34.6 percent
of the total recurring annual costs. Public works maintenance for public roads is projected
at$30.2 thousand and 19.8 percent of the total recurring costs. General government costs
(administrative functions)are projected as the third largest recurring cost at$20.2 thousand
or 13.2 percent of total projected costs. These three projected costs of police protection,
pubic works maintenance and general government represent approximately 67.6 percent of
total recurring costs.
Impact on MVLF
Table 3-1 also presents the projected fiscal impacts for the City's General Fund assuming it
is impacted with a reduction in revenues received from the State in the category of motor
vehicle license fees. Recurring revenues under this scenario are projected at $220.5
thousand. Adjusted total annual recurring costs, including estimated direct costs and
contingency costs, are projected at $175.1 thousand. A recurring surplus of $45.4
thousand is projected for Etiwanda Creek under these conditions.The revenue/cost ratio is
calculated at 1.26.
Proiected Revenues. The largest projected revenue source is General Fund propertytax
at $84.3 thousand, representing approximately 38.3 percent of total projected recurring

revenues. off-site sales and use tax is the second largest projected revenue source at
$53.4 thousand and 24.2 percent of the total revenues. Library Fund property tax
revenues are projected at$20.5 thousand,the third largest recurring revenue. These three
revenue sources represent approximately 71.8 percent of total projected recurring
revenues.
3.2 Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District
The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District(RCFPD)provides fire protection to both
the corporate City and the Sphere of Influence areas.,Etiwanda Creek is located within the
jurisdictional boundaries of the RCFPD.
Table 3-2 presents the projected recurring revenues to the Fire Protection District from the
full buildout of Etiwanda Creek. Annual recurring property tax revenues are projected to
total $150.2 thousand after buildout.
Annual recurring fire protection costs are not projected for the Etiwanda Creek
development. Based on the Plan for the Provision of Municipal Services Annexation No.
01-01 to the City of Rancho Cucamonga prepared by the City, the RCFPD currently has
adequate funding to provide fire protection within its jurisdictional boundaries.
3.3 Landscape Maintenance District
For Etiwanda Creek,an LIVID will be used to fund the ongoing operations and maintenance
costs related to any storm drains, slopes and trails within the project area. It has not been
determined at this time whether or not Etiwanda Creek will be annexed to an existing LIVID
of if a new LIVID will be created. Under either condition, the costs related to this function
are entirely separate from the City's General Fund and there will be no fiscal impact on the
City's General Fund.

CHAPTER 4
FISCAL ASSUMPTIONS
Chapter 4 presents the recurring revenue and cost assumptions used in preparing the
fiscal analysis for Etiwanda Creek in the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
4.1 General Information
Table 4-1 presents the general City information used to calculate fiscal factors.
Population.The City population of 146,666 is based on the California State Department of
Finance estimate as of January 1, 2003. The population estimate is used to project per
capita revenue and cost factors.
Housing Units. For calculating per housing unit factors,the City housing unit estimate of
46,870 from the State Department of Finance (DOF) for January 1, 2003 is used. Using
the DOF information, persons per housing unit is about 3.13,this analysis uses a ratio of
3.15 persons per household as provided by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Employment. Based on information from the City of Rancho Cucamonga, the City's
current employment estimate is 47,205. This estimate is used to calculate revenues and
costs based on employment.
Population/Employment Ratio. New population and employment generate some
revenues and costs,which are calculated based on the split of population and employment
and the ratio of each to the sum of the two. The sum of population and employment is
193,871. Population represents 76 percent of the total and employment represents 24
percent of the total. The projected City revenues or costs are split based on this ratio.
That is, the share of projected revenues or costs allocated to population is divided by the
City population of 146,666 while the employment share of the projected revenues or costs
is divided by the City employment estimate of 47,205.
Estimated Total City Developed Acres. Some costs,such as public works and planning,
are projected on a per-developed acre basis. The number of developed acres within the
City is estimated from City's Geographic Information System(GIS)and CoStar databases,

as shown in Table 4-2. There are an estimated total of 9,544 developed residential acres
in the City; and a total of 3,446 developed non-residential acres within the City. In total,
12,990 developed acres are within the City.
4.2 Revenue Assumptions
The revenue assumptions for the City's General Fund are summarized in Table 4-3.Table
4-3 also summarizes the revenue assumptions for the Fire Protection District. Projected
recurring revenues to the City General Fund include property tax; document transfer tax;
off-site sales and use tax; Proposition 172 sales tax revenue; franchise fees; fines and
forfeitures; motor vehicle license in-lieu revenues; charges for services; other revenues
such as rental/leases/and sales of fixed assets; library revenues and state gasoline tax
funds. Interest revenues are not projected in this analysis.
Taxes
Property Tax. Property tax revenues are projected by multiplying the tax allocation
percentage for the City of Rancho Cucamonga's General Fund, Library Fund and the
Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District by the projected assessed value within the tax
rate area (TRA)in which the project is located. As shown in Table 4-3,the City of Rancho
Cucamonga General Fund allocation is shown at 7.0 percent of the basic 1.0 percent levy.
Document Transfer Tax. Real property sales are taxed at a rate of$1.10 per$1,000 of
transferred property value. The property transfer tax is divided equally between the City
and the County,with the City receiving$0.55 per$1,000 of transferred property value. As
presented in Table 4-3, it is assumed that residential development will change ownership at
an average rate of about 7.0 percent per year, or that each home changes hands on the
average of about once every 14 years.
Offsite Sales Tax. The City receives sales tax revenue from the State Board of
Equalization equal to one percent of all taxable sales generated within the City. The
Etiwanda Creek development does not include on-site retail uses that would generate
direct taxable sales and use tax to the City upon annexation. However, indirect sales and
use tax revenues will be generated from purchases made by the residents of the

proposed project estimated to be captured within the City. It is assumed the City of
Rancho Cucamonga will capture 50 percent of the taxable purchases made by the future
residents of Etiwanda Creek. The 50 percent capture assumption is based on the access
to existing and planned retail within the City boundaries, including the future Victoria
Gardens Regional Mall due to open in 2004.
Residential Sales and Use Tax. Residents of Etiwanda Creek will generate sales and
use tax to the City of Rancho Cucamonga through retail purchases in the City. As shown
in Table 4-4, taxable sales from Etiwanda Creek residents are projected at$9.64 million.
Taxable sales are projected based on the assumption that the average household income
of project:residents represents about 25 percent of the total assessed valuation and that 32
percent of household income is spent on taxable retail sales. The fiscal analysis assumes
the City will capture 50 percent of total taxable retail sales or about$4.82 million in taxable
retail sales.
Based on sales tax of 1 percent, potential sales tax to the City is projected at $48.2
thousand after buildout. At 10.75 percent of sales tax, use tax is projected at $5.2
thousand after buildout. Use tax is non-situs taxable sales allocated back to jurisdictions
by the State. Total sales and use tax is projected at$53.4 thousand after buildout.
According to the March 16, 2004 City Budget Update memorandum from City Manager,
Jack Lain, one outcome of the recent passage of Proposition 57 is that the City will
experience '/4 cent sales tax shift to the State instead of the earlier 1/2 cent shift proposal.
While this would reduce the sales tax generated by the project residents by about$13.3
thousand, the project would still be projected to have an annual recurring surplus of
approximately$58.8 thousand to $32.0 thousand.
Use Tax, In addition to sales tax, the City also receives a use tax allocation equal to
approximately 10.75 percent of the one percent sales tax allocation. The use tax factor is
derived from two major sources:

• A use:tax rather than a sales taxis paid on construction materials from residential and
non-residential development. This tax is counted in the county in which construction
takes place, not at the point of sale of materials.
• A use:taxis levied on purchases from out-of-state sellers of goods for use in California.
The State Board of Equalization assembles the use tax collections into a number of pools.
County pools for each county are based on tax proceeds assigned to a county level. A
statewide pool is developed for tax proceeds, which cannot be assigned to individual
counties. These pools of use tax proceeds are then distributed to individual cities and
counties on a quarterly basis. The distribution percentages to local jurisdictions for the
county pool are calculated on the basis of each city's and county's share of total
countywide non-situs based sales tax as a percentage of total point-of-sale, sales tax. A
similar procedure is used in the allocation of the statewide pool.
Proposition 172 Sales Tax (Public Safety Augmentationl. The State's allocation
formula for public safety augmentation revenues from Proposition 172 is generally tied to
each city's sales tax effort. Therefore, based on Proposition 172 revenues of$299,500
and City sales tax revenues of$14,626,000, these revenues are projected at $20.48 per
$1,000 of additional sales tax generated.
Franchise Fees

are estimated at $12.50 per capita and per employee based on the City budget fees of
$2,423,180 and the City population plus City employment estimate of 193,871.
Refuse Franchise Franchise fees for rubbish services are projected at$8.00 per
capita, based on residential refuse costs of $1,173,379 and the population estimate of
146,666. Commercial (non-residential) refuse franchise fees are projected at $27.73 per
employee based on commercial refuse costs of$1,309,000 and employment of 47,205.

projected at$317.49 per developed acre, as shown in Table 4-7.
Facilities Maintenance.Total facilities maintenance costs in 2003-2004 are$1,903,950.
Based on the fiscal methodology used for the General Plan Update,it is assumed that the
proposed project would incur a marginal increase in facilities maintenance costs of 20
percent,or an increase of$380,790. This marginal increase of$380,790 is divided by the
total 12,990 estimated developed acres, for projected facilities maintenance costs of
$29.31 per developed acre, also shown in Table 4-7.
Planning Department

balancing building and safety costs in the long term. The line item of building and safety
costs is riot projected in the fiscal analysis.
Community S_ ervices• As shown in Table 4-5, City Community Services costs are
estimated to total$2,337,520 in 2003-2004. On a per capita basis,this cost is projected at
$15.94.
Library. As shown in Table 4-5, the Rancho Cucamonga library costs are projected at
$12.90 per capita, based on a library annual budget of $1,891,680 and population of
146,666.
Fire District Tnsfer. Based on the proposed fiscal year 2003-2004 budget the General
Fund is transferring $1,136,770 to the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District to
supplement the District's other funding sources. Based on the total population and
employment estimate of 193,871, the General Fund transfer cost to the Fire Protection
District is projected at$5.86 per capita and employee.
General Government Costs. Table 4-9 presents the estimation of general government
costs. All City costs are categorized as either general government costs or non-general
government costs. General Government costs are related to City administration and are
generally not associated with direct line department services to City residents or
employees. Non-general government functions provide direct services, such as animal
control, police, or community services.
As shown in Table 4-9, general government costs are estimated at $10,483,060. Non-
general government costs are estimated to total$34,330,390. The general government as
a percent of non-general government costs is equal to 30.5 percent. Due to economies of
scale,it is estimated that the marginal increase in general government costs would be one
half of this amount, or 15.3 percent. The 50 percent marginal increase in general
government costs is based on the fiscal methodology for the General Plan Update.
