NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the
Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above -
referenced public hearing on May 27, 2026, including written and oral staff reports, together with
public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The Articles/Chapter/Sections of the Municipal Code subject to the Amendment
are as follows:
(1) Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed land uses and permit requirements) of
Section 17.30.030 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements) of
Chapter 17.30 (Allowed Land Use by Base Zone) of Article III (Zones,
Allowed Uses, and Development Standards) of Title 17 (Development
Code) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code is hereby amended
to include a new table note to allow a Child Day Care Facility/Center
use as an accessory/secondary use to an approved Assembly use upon
approval of a Minor Use Permit within the Very Low (VL), Low (L), Low
Medium (LM), or Medium (M) Residential zones and revising the
allowed landed uses in the Medium High (MH) and High (H) Residential
zones to allow a Child Day Care Facility/Center use upon approval of a
Minor Use Permit; and
(2) Table 17.38.060-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by
Placetype) of Section 17.38.060 (The Resort) of Chapter 17.38
(Overlay Zones and Other Special Planning Areas) of Article III (Zones,
Allowed Uses, and Development Standards) of Title 17 (Development
Code) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code is hereby amended
to revise the required entitlement for a Child Day Care Facility/Center
use in the Transit (T), Mixed Use (MU), Recreation (REC), and the
Mixed Use Overlay (MU Overlay) zones of the Resort to be a Minor Use
Permit; and
(3) Table 17.136.020-1 (Allowed Land Uses in Form -Based Zones) of
Section 17.136.020 (Allowed Land Uses) of Chapter 17.136 (Land Use
Standards) of Article VIII (Form -Based Code) of Title 17 (Development

b. The Amendments conform to and do not conflict with the goals, policies, and
implementation programs of the General Plan, including, without limitation, the
Housing and Land Use Elements thereof, and will provide for development in a
manner consistent with the General Plan.
3. The Planning Department Staff have determined that the project is statutorily exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, which
includes activity covered by the common sense exemption when a project does not have potential
for causing a significant effect on the environment and it can be seen with certainty that there is
no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. As the
proposed amendments are administrative in nature and further actions or projects facilitated by
the amendments would be required to perform environmental evaluation at time of site -specific
project submittal, it has been determined that the proposed text amendments would not have the
potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed
the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent
judgement, concurs in the staff determination of exemption.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above,
this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Municipal Code Amendment
DRC2026-000269 as indicated in Exhibit A incorporated herein by this reference.
5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 27th DAY OF MAY 2026.
