ORDINANCE NO. 59 A proposal was put forth to reduce one of the provisions
(second reading) of the National Electrical Code. The California Occupational
Health and Safety Administration advised that reducing the
(continued) requirements of the National Electrical Code would be placing
an employer who chose to follow that option in a position of
being in violation of the Code. Therefore, Mr. Grant proposed
the following modification to Article IX, Section 24:
Exception 2 -- "In dwelling units" to precede the second
--- exception, then problems with CAL OSHA would no longer exist.
City Attorney was consulted as to whether any minor changes
such as this would constitute the necessity to hold first
reading and republishing. City attorney stated that any change
would require a first reading again, and to be safe, it would
be best to republish notices of public hearing. Mr. Dougherty
stated it would be best to adopt the ordinance as presented
than to come back for an amendment.
Council concurred this would be best.
Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by Mikels to adopt
Ordinance NO. 59 and waive entire reading. Motion unanimously
carried. Title and number read by Wasserman.
(Direction to staff was to have an amendment for Ordinance
No. 59 prepared for the next agenda as previously discussed).
ORDINANCE NO. 59
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE 1978
EDITION OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND MAKING
CERTAIN CHANGES THEREIN NECESSARY TO MEET LOCAL
CONDITIONS.
ORDINANCE NO. 66 An ordinance which would amend the Home Occupations sections
of the zoning ordinance. Jack Lam presented staff report. (5)
(second reading)
Mikels asked if the title of the ordinance were changed to
include some mention of the Home Occupations instead of
just the code sections, would it require a new first reading.
~r. Dougherty said it would require a first reading.
In this case, however, the attorney advised the Council
to refer the ordinance back to staff since there were some
additional problems with it.
Action: Council referred Ordinance No. 66 back to staff
for revisions and to include in the title reference to
Home Occupations and to bring back to the next meeting for
first reading.
ORDINANCE NO. 67 An ordinance changing zone from R-1-8500 to R-3 for (6)
9.3 acres of land located on the northeast corner of
Ramona and 19th Streets.
Mayor stated that he had difficulty tying this in with the
consistency in the current general plan. Lam pointed out
this was consistent with the general plan which designated
this area high density residential. This ordinance is the
last of "withhold:' ordinances under the County. Lam
explained the County would approve such zone changes but
withhold the enabling ordinance until site plans were
approved. In this case, things were held up even longer with
the moratorium.
Mikels said on the published general plan maps which the
public had that piece was not designed as high density.
He asked what amendment changed this designation. Herman
Rempel, Chairman of the Planning Commission, said this was
not an amendment to the general plan, but was changed
during the hearing phase to the Planning Commission of the
general plan. This was prior to acceptance of the general
plan after the general plan map was published.

ORDINANCE NO. 67
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, REZONING ASSESSOR'S
PARCEL NO. 202-171-47 (ZC 97-65 and 98-65).
(7) ORDINANCE NO. 69 An ordinance establishing changes in the school fees for
the financing of interim school facilities.
(second reading)
Mikels proposed that item 8C be amended as follows: ........
8 (c) Land may be required as an equivalent arrangement in
lieu of fees, or a portion thereof, in accordance with
Government Code 65974.
Question arose whether to amend the ordinance and have
first reading or adopt as is and bring an amendment back
at the next meeting.
Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by Mikels to approve
Ordinance No. 69 in the present form, and to bring back
an amendment to section 8(c) at the next meeting as discussed
previously. Motion unanimously carried.
(8) ORDINANCE NO. 65 An Ordinance amending the zoning ordinance to add a new sign ordinance and repeal all existing sign provisions.
(first reading) Jack Lam presented the staff report.
Mr. Lam explained that although the County ordinance is the
one that is currently in effect, the city staff has been --
operating under Ordinance No. 19 in which all signs require
a director's review. The proposed ordinance has been
in the development stage for approximately one year.
City staff has conducted numerous meetings with interested
parties including the Chamber of Commerce. As a result
of these meetings and public hearings conducted by the
Planning Commission, the Planning Commission is recommending
to the Council amendments to the zoning code as stated in
Ordinance No. 65.
Lam outlined features of the proposed ordinance which are:
1. Reduce the size and number of signs any one user may have.
2. A five-year amoritization schedule for non-conforming
signs is included based upon the value of the sign.
3. All signs must be maintained to a certain standard
4. Recognition of signs which the city would identify as
having historical or heritage value and termed as
historical signs may be allowed to remain provided they
are maintained and do not constitute traffic hazards
or have other negative effects.
5. A provision to amoritize billboards over a five-year
period as other non-conforming signs.
Lam then presented slides showing problem areas within
the city with examples of other types of signing as used
in neighboring communities.
Meeting was opened for public input:
1. Mark Denni from Wilmington Savings & Loan who was the
Chairman of the Committee for Fair Signing in Rancho
Cucamonga. He read a letter which he had sent to the Council
dated March 1, 1979.
City Council Minutes

ORDINANCE NO. 65 2. Arden Berg of the Sign Users Council showed slides of
signs along Foothill Boulevard starting at Wilmington
(first reading) Savings & Loan going west. to Vineyard, north to Baseline,
east to Archibald, south to Foothill.
(continued)
After his presentation, May asked Mr. Berg to come back
in two weeks with ten slides which he felt were good signs.
--- 3. Neil Olsen, Marketing Officer at Security Pacific
Bank, who lived at 4815 Polara, Covina, stated he was not
in favor of the ordinance and felt the businessman would
lose a great deal of business as a result of this ordinance.
He also felt the amoritization clause should be deleted
along with the design standards.
4. E.P. '~Shorty" Guerra said he was definitely against
eight-foot signs.
5. Wesley Mills, resident of Alta Loma, who was in the
business of planning, stated that more successful areas
have had some type of sign ordinance. He suggested perhaps
the ordinance could include a committee of semi-experts
to review signs.
6. Chuch Buquet, Chairman of the Cucamonga Subcommittee
of the Advisory Committee, spoke in favor of the ordinance
and felt the ordinance was trying to set forth guidelines
for signing in the city and was trying to make it fair for
both the small and large businessman.
7. Ken Willis, of the BIA, said the BIA was in support of
the staff's recommendation of permanently located directional
signs for tract housing instead of the type which is now
being used.
8. Doug Hone spoke emphasizing that for nine months the
Chamber of Commerce has been having sign committee meetings
every Wednesday morning at 7:30 a.m. Overall he felt the
ordinance as written was very good. He did feel the
recommendations regarding height, square footage and amori-
tization cculd be combined in an architectural review
process.
9. A1 Castro, of A and R Tire Company, expressed concern
that an eight-foot sign would not be adequate.
10. Jeff Schrenka, of Lucas Land Company, local resident,
and member of the Chamber of Commerce Sign Committee,
spoke on the consi~.erations of the committee between the
amoritization clause and the grandfather clause. He
felt the amoritization clause was more fair to the small
businessman.
He also stated size and height were not significant issues.
He said community people went to a business because of the
product, not because of the size of sign. Said a lower
profile sign ordinance would be more attractive to the com-
munity.
11. Mary Lane, member of the Advisory Committee, asked if
the Chamber of Commerce had taken a stand on the sign ordi-
nance.
12. David Humphrey, Manager of the Chamber, read paragraph
from a letter addressed to the Council which said, "The
Chamber Board of Directors feel that the Chamber has acted
in good faith with its members and the business community
as a whole in gathering as much input for the eventual adop-
tion of a Sign Ordinance for the City of Rancho Cucamonga
as possible. There are certain areas in the proposed ordi-
nance with which the Chamber is not completely comfortable,
City Council Minutes
March 21, 1979
Page 6
ORDINANCE NO. 65 i.e. abatement rather than some sort of grandfathering,
(first reading) size and height of free standing and monument signs.
Taking all the foregoing factors into consideration, the
(continued) Board of Directors does not wish to take a stand on the
adoption of the proposed sign ordinance. We feel that there
must be an ordinance adopted soon for the good of the
community."
13. Ed Murray of Ed's T.V. spoke against the ordinance and__
the amoritization of non-conforming signs.
14. Herman Rempel, Chairman of the Planning Commission,
stated as a result from discussions on the General Plan,
the Planning Commission asked the people what they wanted
their community to look like. One of the things which
was brought up many times was the eye pollution in the
community. He said it was the Planning Commission, long
before the present Staff was on-board, who asked to hav~
the sign ordinance developed.
He emphasized the process used in developing the present
sign ordinance by studying other sign ordinances, from
consulting other offic%~ls in other cities, and input from
study sessions and public hearings.
15. Bill Kunz from Kuntz and Company, an outdoor sign
business, who lived in Glendora, emphasized his company wap'
concerned about the adoption of an ordinance that would
eliminate outdoor advertizing. He felt good signing
could be controlled rather than eliminated.
16. John Glyn from Foster Kliser spoke regarding a problem
his company had with the amoritization period. He said they
sell the advertising space which would be just as valuable --~
in five years. He stated to remove a sign they could recu-
perate the material costs, but not the advertizing value.
Mikels pointed out that there was a process to revise the
ordinance if problems should develop.
Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Schlosser to approve
Ordinance No. 65 for first reading, set April 4 for second
reading waive entire reading. Motion unanimously carried.
Wasserman read title and number.
ORDINANCE NO. 65
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A COMPRE-
HENSIVE SIGN ORDINANCE AND REPEALING CERTAIN SECTIONS
OF THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY CODE PERTAINING TO
SIGN REGULATION
RECESS Mayor called a recess at 9:50 p.m. Meeting reconvened
at 10:05 p.m. with all members of council and staff present
SPECIAL Mayor asked Robert Frost, President of the Alta Loma School
ANNOUNCEMENT District Board of Trustees to bring a special announcement.
Robert Frost stated he had just come from a meeting at
Chaffey High School regarding the unification issue.
It had been voted to pass the school unification along to
the State. As soon as the State gave its approval, it would
then go to a vote, hopefully in March. If passed at that time,
unification would become effective June 1981.
(9) ZONE CHANGE Rehearing of an appeal of a Planning Commission decision
APPEAL to deny a zone change. Jack Lam presented the staff
report. Mr. Wesley Mills represented the Parks. Council
L. Parks had been presented the basic plan for the proposed restaurant.
Mr. Mills pointed out the residence was an historical
landmark and had potential toward improving the cultural
aspects of the community.. He pointed out a precedent had
City Council Minutes
March 21, 1979
Page 7
ZONE CHANGE been established in a sister city by having a commercial
APPEAL venture in a residential area.
L. Parks Council then considered the following issues:
(continued) 1. What would happen if this restaurant failed?
2. The possibility of a condititional use permit.
3. Is this really the place for a fine restaurant?
4. Zoning of surrounding property.
5. Concern for the home since it was of historic value.
Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by West to uphold the
Planning Commission's decision and deny the zone change
request.
Motion: Mikels made a motion to reconsider the motion
on the floor. For lack of second, the motion failed.
Vote: Motion to deny the zone change carried by the
following vote:
AYES: Schlosser, Palombo, West, Frost
NOES: Mikels (he felt the proposal had merit, a C.U.P.
would have given the city protection regarding
any future use of the property, and his concern
for the historical value of the home.)
HISTORICAL An ordinance establishing measures to identify, designate, (10)
ORDINANCE preserve and protect the historic resources in the City.
Ordinance Mr. Bill Holley, Director of Community Services, presented
No. 70 staff report. He emphasized that the historic commission
had studied approximately twenty different city ordinances
(first reading) during the past seven months in the process of drafting
the one being presented.
Mr. Leonard Gorczyca, Acting Chairman of the Historical
Preservation Commission, spoke of the need for the
ordinance. He told the Council the Commission had inven-
toried on a preliminary draft some 160 sites in the city
which would be considered for historical landmarks. Not
all would meet the criteria in the proposed ordinance
since it is very specific.
Mikels suggested changing Section 18(b) to a from a
60-day period to a 45-day period and in 18(d) from the
45-day period to a 30-day period. Therefore, sections
would read as follows:
SECTION 18: (b) A public hearing before the Historic
Preservation Commission shall be at a time and place fixed
by the Secretary but not more than forty-five (45) days
after the submission of an application or a proposal for
which the public hearing is requred.
(d) A public hearing may be continued by the body holding
the same for a period not in excess of thirty (30) days.
West questioned the necessity of filing fees in Section 17.
Mr. Holley pointed out at the present there were no fees
established, but at a future date the ordinance would allow
for the Council to establish some.
City Council Minutes
March 21, 1979
Page 8
HISTORICAL Dougherty pointed out that the enabling section would apply
ORDINANCE to all applications under the ordinance. In certain cir-
cumstances Council might want to have a filing fee and that
Ordinance Council would have the power to set fees by a Resolution
No. 70 once the ordinance was established.
(first reading)
Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Palombo to approve
(continued) Ordinance No. 70 with changes in Section 18 (b) and (d),

motion unanimously carried.
ORDINANCE NO. 70

FICANCE TO THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.
COOPERATION A cooperation agreement with San Bernardino County which
(11)
AGREEMENT deals with publicly owned housing units withing the City
OF COMMUNITY of Rancho Cucamonga. Phil Rush from the Office of Community
DEVELOPMENT Development, San Bernardino County, addressed Council.
Council considered what the benefits would be to the city
as opposed to doing this ourselves. Mr. Rush pointed
out the city had no Housing Authority of its own and only
an Housing Authority was approved to apply for these
available funds.
Mikels expressed that a great deal of time went into
establishing the ~hree adopted elements of the General --
Plan and can foresee same type of effort going into the
Housing Element. He stated we should develop this issue
before rushing into a decision with the County.
Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Palombo to direct
this to staff to explore the kinds of alternatives that
are available to Rancho Cucamonga and how a consideration
of this item could be integrated into consideration of the
Housing Element for the General Plan. Motion unanimously
carried.
COMMITTEE 1. Advisory Committee - Chuck Buquet, Chairman, for the
REPORTS Cucamonga Subcommittee, said the Advisory Committees' main
concern was storm drains which would be reported on
later. They had been working on the sign ordinance and
were now working on some other items with staff.
Meetings are on third Thursdays each month in the Library.
2. Historical Commission - Leonard Gorczyca, Acting
Chairman, stated that to answer questions which were
being asked about sites which have been named of historical
importance, the next step will be to take these sites and
establish an inventory in accordance with the prescribed
form and outline by the State. Then the list will be submitt__ed
to the City Council who will be final authority on desig-
nations.
FIREWORKS Jim Robinson, Assistant to the City Manager, presented the
(12) staff report. Staff recommendation to Council was:
"Establish a rotation system for issuance of permits.
Qualified organizations would be added to the list each
year. In addition, the City Council could consider a ran-
dom drawing or lottery to determine the order of prioritY
for this original list. Those qualified organizations
that receive licenses each year would rotate to the bottom
of the list and move up the list as licenses are issued
each year. Upon written request,qualified organizations
would be added to the list each year.
City Council Minutes
March 21, 1979
Page 9
FIREWORKS Those speaking on the issuewere:
(continued) Phil Tubillo, Sons of Italy, emphasized this was a
non-profit organization and should have a part in the

rotation basis of selection.
Bill Wieland-Vineyard Little League, favored the rotation
basis of selection.
Bill Griffith, Rancho Cucamonga Kiwanis, in favor of the
staff's recommendations. Also suggested limiting
ireworks booths to non-profit service organizations
that would turn monies generated in this fund raising
effort back into the city for the betterment of the city.
Ron Boatwright - Boy Scout Troop 641, favored the grand-
father clause and felt more booths might be considered.
Chuck Buquet, Miss Softball America, expressed they
would be able to use any money in developing fields
since there is a lack of fields in town.
John Rose, Citrus Little League, felt stands should be
given on basis of needs.
West expressed he would like to see any money earned
stay within the community.
Motion: Moved by~Mikels, seconded by West and unani-
mously carried there should be as follows:
1. One fireworks stand per 10,000 population.
2. Accept staff's recommendation to establish a ro-
tation system for issuance of permits with qualify-
ing organizations being added to the list each year.
In addition, to establish a random drawing to

to be residents of Rancho Cucamonga.
5. Be a non-profit organization with certificate on
file with the State and to present this as proof

STORM DRAIN- Mr. Wasserman stated that since the last Council meeting, (13)
SYSTEMS FEE staff had met on two occasions with the representatives
of the industrial community with the assistance of the
Chamber of Commerce helping to coordinate the effort.
A meeting, which was held this afternoon, was for the
purpose of indicating to the community the extent
of flood control problems in the city and rationale
for staff and Advisory Committee's recommendations
to Council for the storm drain fee ordinance.
Mr. Hubbs, City Engineer, gave an overview of storm drain
needs in the city with some approximate costs.
Ken Willis, Building Association Industry, indicated
the BIA felt there was an injustice with the Systems
Development fees. He felt that if such a fee were
imposed, Council should take into consideration:
City Council Minutes
March 21, 1979
Page 10
STORM DRAIN- 1. The cumulative impact of all fees which brings the
SYSTEMS FEE average cost on residential development to the
$5,000 per unit range.
(continued)
2. Recommended reducing the Systems Development fee
to ½ percent.
3. Recommended removal of the beautification fee.
Doug Hone stated that what shocked people the most
was once the fees were on, the Council then took them off.
Basically, he felt the main concern was the urgency
of the measures.
Discussion followed as to what Council wished to have
included in an ordinance. Council decided to consider
each item referred to in Mr. Hubbs memo dated March 21
to the Council and make a decision on each item.
1. Fees are to be collected at the time of recordation
of a Parcel Map and eliminate payment of fee on
vacant parcels of a Parcel Map.

time for payment of fees at the issuance of the building
permits. Motion unanimously carried.
2. Fees are to be collected on a parcel basis at the
issuance of a building permit on any portion of the
parcel.
Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded'by Schlosser to approve
