ORDINANCE NO. 818-A (URGENCY)
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, EXTENDING INTERIM ORDINANCE N0.818,
PROHIBITING CREMATORIES IN ALL LAND USE ZONES AND
PROHIBITING THE ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS AND OTHER
LAND USE ENTITLEMENTS FOR SUCH USES WITHIN THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF
Don Granger, Senior Planner, gave the staff report.
In response to Councilmember Williams, Mr. Granger indicated that the application for a
crematorium has been withdrawn and the case has been closed. The purpose of the moratorium is
to allow time to develop regulations in the event that an application is submitted in the future.
Mayor Kurth opened the public hearing.
John Lyons noted that office use was intended on Haven Avenue and indicated that this type of use
should be located in the heavy industrial area. As there are heavy winds in this area, Mr. Lyons did
not think that crematoriums should be located adjacent to any residential area.
Mayor Kurth closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Williams noted that all of the environmental impacts associated with this use should
be fully explored before the use is allowed in a specific zone.
MOTION: Moved by Williams, seconded by Spagnolo, to adopt Ordinance No. 818-A by urgency.
Motion carried 4-0, with Mayor Pro Tem Michael being absent.

02. UPDATE ON CONCERNS RELATING TO CUCAMONGA CANYON ACCESS (Oral Report)
Linda Daniels, Interim Deputy City Manager/Redevelopment Director, stated that there was a
meeting on August 31, 2009 with the residents. At that meeting, both long and short term solutions
were discussed. The long term solution includes opening the gate, providing a paved parking area

with services and working with the U.S. Forest Service to patrol and provide proper maintenance of
the area. Possible short term solutions include the establishment of a permit parking area, creating
parking along Almond, working with the Forest Service to install signs regarding prohibited activities,
working with adjacent property owners on the placement of no trespassing signs and increasing
police patrol in the area.
Mrs. Daniels noted that the City owns full right-of-way along a portion of Almond. This area could be
graded and would allow approximately 40 cars. Signs could be installed directing people out of the
neighborhood to the appropriate trail. She also discussed an option to establish a permit parking
district, noting that 75% of the residents need to be supportive of the concept. The residents who
attended the meeting recognized the need for outreach to other neighbors. Mrs. Daniels indicated
that the residents were encouraged to call the Police Department and staff when there is a problem.
In conclusion, she recommended that the matter be referred to a subcommittee so further work can
be done.
In response to Councilmember Gutierrez, parking along Almond was discussed. Councilmember
Gutierrez expressed a concern with people walking through the neighborhood. It was noted that
further discussion was needed. Councilmember Gutierrez stated that other options should be
explored and inquired if a parking lot could be placed at the end of Almond. Visitors could travel
through property owned by the Cucamonga Valley Water District. In response, Mrs. Daniels stated
that although the District has been an active participant in the discussion, they have been hesitant to
facilitate vehicular traffic. Oil and debris from vehicles could contaminate the water supply. Also
discussed was the involvement of the private property owners adjacent to the neighborhood and
speculation on how vehicles were accessing the area.
Councilmember Spagnolo indicated that he supported parking regulations; however, he was
concerned with how these regulations could affect other neighborhoods. He concurred with
restrictive parking and signs as short term solution to the problem.
Mayor Kurth noted that the U.S. Forest Service should be proactively addressing this matter. In
response to Councilmember Gutierrez, Mrs. Daniels noted that there are no recognized Forest
Service trails in this area.
Councilmember Williams expressed a concern with fire in that area. She inquired if signage was in
place prohibiting barbecues and incendiary devices in the canyon. Councilmember Williams also
inquired about staffing at the Cucamonga Valley Water District plant. In response to Councilmember
Williams, it was felt that District staff could notify the City of violations once signage was installed.
Councilmember Spagnolo encouraged the Police and Fire Departments to be more proactive in the
neighborhood until the matter can be resolved.
Kathleen Norco confirmed that the problems are still occurring in the neighborhood. As a result of
this matter, she noted that neighbors are talking about forming a neighborhood watch. She thanked
the Council for their help.
MOTION: Moved by Gutierrez, seconded by Williams, to refer the matter to the Public Works
subcommittee. Motion carried 4-0, with Mayor Pro Tem Michael being absent.
