ORDINANCE NO. 893
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING
CHAPTERS 13.08 AND 13.09 OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA
MUNICIPAL CODE TO REDUCE DRAINAGE IMPACT FEES FOR
CERTAIN SECOND DWELLINGS AND ADDITIONS ON
EXISTING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES
A. Recitals.
1. Chapters 13.08 and 13.09 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code generally
requires payment of drainage impact fees based on the net area of an entire parcel, or for parcels
larger than one acre, on the net area of the developed portions of such parcels subject to the
certain exceptions and limitations.
2. The City Council finds it would be in the public’s interest to create new exceptions
the City’s existing drainage impact fees for the development on single-family residential properties
of guest houses and second dwelling units that are less than 650 square feet in area and to limit
drainage impact fees for development of additions, guest houses, and second dwelling units that
are 650 or more square feet by limiting the basis of such fees to the net area of the new
development.
3. It is the express intent of the Council in enacting this ordinance to merely reduce
the amount of existing drainage impact fees in the limited cases described herein and not in any
case establish or impose a new fee or increase any existing fee.
4. All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
B. Ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council hereby ordains as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council finds that the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this
Ordinance are true and correct.

Code is hereby amended by adding a new subsection “F” as follows:

single family residence that is required to pay drainage fee pursuant to this
chapter and the permit is issued for an addition, guesthouse, or Second
Dwelling unit 650 or more square feet in area, the fee shall be based on
the net area of the addition, guesthouse, or Second Dwelling unit calculated
as follows: the square footage of the permit application as determined by
