ORDINANCE NO. 58 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING RE- QUIREMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OF- WAY IMPROVEMENTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH BUILDING CONSTRUC- TION. (2) Ordinance No. 59 Wasserman explained this was again on the agenda because (first reading) of a procedural problem. This was an unusual ordinance adopting a set of regulations by reference, therefore, had to be handled differently from the usual way. This Ordinance needed to be introduced for first reading with title and number read, have a public hearing date set by Council and be published once in two consecutive weeks. Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by West to approve the introduction of Ordinance and waive the entire reading. Motion unanimously carried. Wasserman read Ordinance by title and number. 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.

Motion unanimously carried. PUBLIC HEARING An ordinance had been suggested and reviewed by the Community Advisory Committee's establishing a storm drain fee of $2500 per acre to be applied to land divisions and the issuance of building permits, and a Systems Development fee of one percent on the building valuation to be assessed at the time of development which will be used for the construction and planning of storm drain facilities. Mr. Hubbs summarized the process the Advisory Committees went through to identify the existing city resources for street and storm drain improvements, an identification of types of needs to proceed with, and a prioritizing of those needs to determine which projects were most needed. These were presented to Council by memo dated February 21, 1979. Ken Willis of the BIA stated the industry took "no position" on the storm drain fee issue since there was a need. How- ever, on the Systems Development fee, there was some unfair- ness regarding that fee. The BIA could find no authority for the fee since it did not meet standards of Government Code 66484 nor is it authorized by the Subdivision Map Act. He said financing should be provided that is equitable to all and questioned that new residents in the city bear the burden of improvements for residents already living in the city. He spoke in favor of setting up assessment districts for funds. City Council Minutes February 21~ 1923_ Page 3 PUBLIC HEARING Clara Murillo asked about the $2500 fee and what happened to those land divisions that were already in process. (continued) Hubbs said it would effect any map that records after the passing of the ordinance.

(Resolution No. 79-11 was referred to the March 7 meeting for adoption with the enabling Ordinance No. 63). (8) FACT FINDING Wasserman presented a summary report from the Fact Finding REPORT Committee. As part of the report, Wasserman presented two charts for "Interim School Financing Alternatives." One assuming the $700 school fee was split between the elementary and high school districts. The other assuming all the fees went directly to the high school. The following comments were made from those attending: Dr. Norman Guith, Superintendent of the Central School District, spoke regarding No. 11 on the report. (Copy of report included in the Council packet). He stated the sentence "if the moratorium continues, the school districts will face a loss of revenue which may affect the ability of the districts to resolve the school impaction problem," would lead one to believe the schools needed the additional students. Although development needed to occur in order to obtain fees, the impaction fees were not adequate. He outlined to Council the overcrowding problems within the Central School District. Mrs. Liz Galarini spoke regarding the statement in 'No. 9 of the Fact Finding Report emphasing these fees were interim solutions only. And No. 7 she said the proposed school on Hermosa for the Alta Loma School DiStrict and the purchase of temporary classrooms were "ifs." Ken Willis said the $700 fee was established at the time of the School Task Force was investigating the issue. It was felt adequate at that time. Since then there has been a rapid degree of inflation. Curt Bonneville spoke regarding No. 8 of the Report and the available capacity within the Chaffey Union High School District. He said growth which is presently taking place in South Ontario is projected to use up all available space in Ontario High within the next 3 to 4 years. George Godlin spoke on No. 11 and the statement, "failure to lift the moratorium would result in an impact on the city and other entities." He felt since Proposition 13 that growth no longer pays its own way. He felt the Committe~ should have explored the real impact of Proposition 13 and that growth was a loosing issue. ---~ Wasserman said in his experience residential development had never paid its own way. Cities subsidized residential development by sales tax, in lieu revenues from the State, and revenue sharing, etc. Mayor stated he would not be present at the next meeting. The issue before Council was how did Council wish to approach the growth management issue. Discussion followed whether to wait until the next meeting or to call a special meeting since the Mayor would not be present. City Council Minutes February 21, 1979 Page 5 FACT FINDING Dougherty said anything done would have to be by urgency REPORT measure which required a 4/5 vote. Council decided to (continued) adjourn to February 28 at 6:00 p.m. at which time the staff would report on the following: 1. Check with the Chaffey Joint Union High School District on the number of developments in the Ontario and Fontana areas. --- 2. Determine whether or not there are any students attending Alta Loma High School who are not residents of Rancho Cucamonga. 3. Some type of recommendation concerning what the fees would have to be on an interim basis with alternatives: a. For Alta Loma and Central Districts alone. b. With the High School included. 4. How much of the growth in South Ontario would be going to Chino Unified School District. 5. Suggested phasing plan if Council were to release the 556 units. 6.
