INITIATED BY:Julie A. Sowles, Deputy City Manager of Civic and Cultural Services
Linda A. Troyan, MMC, City Clerk Services Director
SUBJECT:AB 361 Findings for Special Brown Act Requirements for Teleconference.
(CITY/FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council/Board of Directors of the Fire Protection District make the
following findings in order for the City’s legislative bodies to continue meeting virtually: (1) the City
Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency; and (2) the
COVID-19 state of emergency continues to directly impact of the ability of the members of the
City’s legislative bodies to meet safely in person.
BACKGROUND:
On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency to exist in California due
to the spread of COVID-19. This proclamation is still in effect. The Governor subsequently issued
numerous executive orders suspending or modifying state laws to facilitate the response to the
emergency. Among other things, these executive orders superseded certain Brown Act
requirements and established special rules to give local public agencies greater flexibility to
conduct teleconference meetings. The special rules included provisions allowing local public
agencies to conduct teleconference meetings without having to provide a physical location from
which the public may attend or comment; without having to use teleconference locations that are
publicly accessible; and without having to identify teleconference locations on the agenda. Those
special rules expired on September 30, 2021.
On September 16, 2021, in anticipation of then-imminent expiration of his special rules for
teleconference meetings, Governor Newsom signed AB 361. In key part, this bill amends the
Brown Act to establish special requirements for teleconference meetings if a legislative body of a
local public agency makes two findings pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)(3). Like
the special rules in the Governor’s executive orders, the special Brown Act requirements in AB
361 include provisions allowing public agencies to conduct teleconference meetings without
having to use teleconference locations that are publicly accessible; and without having to identify
teleconference locations on the agenda. The AB 361 special Brown Act requirements are
scheduled be repealed on January 1, 2024.
In order for a local public agency to be subject to the AB 361 special Brown Act requirements for
teleconference meetings, a legislative body of a local public agency first must make a finding that
it has “reconsidered” the circumstances of a declared state of emergency. Second, there must be
Page 26
Page 2

4
3
a finding that such emergency continues to directly impact the ability of legislative body members
to meet safely in person. Alternatively, for the second finding, there must be a finding that state
or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing measures. These findings
must be made within 30 days after the first teleconference under AB 361 and on a monthly basis
thereafter.
ANALYSIS:
Due to the continuing, rapid spread of the Omicron and Delta variants of COVID-19, staff is
recommending that the City Council make the necessary findings in order to continue holding
teleconference meetings. The findings were first made at the January 5, 2022, City Council
meeting. Federal and state officials continue to recommend social distancing measures, including
limiting in-door gatherings, to limit the spread of the highly transmissible Omicron variant of
COVID-19.
It is expected that virtual meetings will only be conducted pursuant to AB 361 where a City Council
Member or other member of a commission/committee is unable to meet in person due to exposure
to COVID-19. Under AB 361, the public must also be given an opportunity to participate in a virtual
meeting via a teleconference option, and the amended agenda provides call-in information.
However, the public will continue to be permitted to attend the meeting in person. It is unclear if
future meetings will require a teleconference option.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact caused by this item. The City has the necessary equipment to conduct
a teleconference meeting.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This item directly supports the Council Core Value to actively seek and respectfully consider all
public input by allowing the City’s legislative bodies and members of the public to safely participate
in public meetings.

SUBJECT:Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Side Letter Agreement
Between the City of Rancho Cucamonga and Teamsters Local 1932.
(RESOLUTION NO. 2022-136) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving a Side Letter of
Agreement between the City of Rancho Cucamonga and Teamsters Local 1932.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council previously approved a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
between the City of Rancho Cucamonga and Teamsters Local 1932, effective July 1, 2022, to
June 30, 2025. The MOU includes a provision providing a stipend for employees required by the
City to hold a valid Class “A” Driver’s License.
On October 13, 2022, the City and Teamsters Local 1932 met and conferred in good faith. The
parties agreed to clarify Section 35 of the MOU: Class “A” Driver’s License Stipend.
ANALYSIS:
The agreed amendment to Section 35 of the MOU: Class “A” Driver’s License Stipend, provides
clarification on stipend pay for employees required by the city to hold a valid Class A Driver’s
License while working on resolving a medical hold or other types of hold on their driver’s license.
In this clarification, employees will have two pay periods to resolve any issues. If the hold is not
released within this timeframe, the employee will no longer receive the stipend until such time that
the hold is released.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the Side Letter of
Agreement between the City and Teamsters Local 1932. This Side Letter of Agreement shall be
incorporated into the MOU. The MOU will remain in full force and effect except to the extent
modified by this Side Letter of Agreement.
This Side Letter of Agreement shall not be effective until ratified by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The agreed-upon clarification will not result in any fiscal impact.

SIDE LETTER OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
AND THE TEAMSTERS LOCAL 1932
The City of Rancho Cucamonga ("City") and the Teamsters Local 1932(collectively, the
"Parties") entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") that commenced on
July 1, 2022 and expires on June 30, 2025.
The Parties met and conferred in good faith in September of 2022. The Parties agreed to
clarifying Section 35 of the MOU: California Class “A” Driver License Stipend. That
section shall be modified and replaced with the following:
SECTION 35: CALIFORNIA CLASS “A” DRIVER LICENSE STIPEND
Employees required by the City to hold a valid Class “A” Driver’s License for their
position and participate in Department of Transportation (DOT) random drug and
alcohol testing shall receive a stipend of $75 per month ($34.61 per pay period.)
The Department will provide and maintain a list of positions and employees in those
required positions. The list will be available upon request.
Effective the first full pay period after adoption of this side letter by the City
Council, employees on the City list who are on or placed on a medical hold and/or
for any other reason are therefore unable to operate vehicles requiring a Class “A”

SUBJECT:Consideration of a Professional Services Agreement with Granicus
(GovQA) for Public Records Request Management Software in an
Amount Not to Exceed $170,000 for a total of seven years. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council authorize execution of a three (3) year contract for public
records request management software with Granicus (“GovQA”), with an option to renew in one-
year increments to a total of seven years, in an amount not to exceed $170,000, and approve
GovQA as a single source vendor.
BACKGROUND:
The City Clerk Services Department identified the need for public records request management
software to efficiently manage all incoming public records requests and information. The GovQA
Platform allows for the comprehensive processing of public records requests, including
distribution to designated departments, information collection, time tracking and reporting.
In 2017, after a Request for Proposal process, the City entered into a Professional Services
Agreement, CO 17-160, with GovQA for public records request management services. In 2021,
the City amended the contract to continue services with GovQA for a one-year period.
ANALYSIS:
GovQA has met the needs of the City, providing proper and efficient management of public
records requests. In accordance with the City’s procurement policies and procedures, GovQA
should be considered a single source vendor due to standardization and the administrative cost
to change vendors.
Standardization of the public records request management software improves the processing of
public records requests; and allows both staff and the City’s customers to continue with the current
structured methods for electronic processing of requests. Continuing services with Granicus will
also minimize the amount of time staff would need to spend on soliciting for a new proposal and
training users to learn a new system.
Due to the success of GovQA as a public records request management solution and meeting the
City’s standards for customer service, staff is seeking approval from City Council to use a single

source procurement process for the GovQA Professional Services Agreement. The Agreement
was reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office, Risk Management and DoIT.
The single source justification and agreement is on file with the City Clerk’s Office.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost for public records request management software services has been budgeted for Fiscal
Year 2022/2023 and will be approximately $20,020 annually, with a 5.5% annual increase, not to
exceed $170,000. Funding for this service will come from General Fund object 1001209-5300
Contract Services.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses the Council Core Values of intentionally embracing and anticipating the
future, by utilizing a software system that will allow staff to efficiently continue to process public
records requests in compliance with the Public Records Act.

SUBJECT:Consideration to Approve Professional Services Agreements to Add an
Additional Seven Selected Vendors for On-Call CEQA Environmental
Consulting Services. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve and execute master agreements to add an additional
seven selected consultant firms to conduct “on-call” CEQA environmental services.
BACKGROUND:
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires state and local governments to
consider the potential effects of a project before deciding whether to approve it. CEQA’s purpose
is to disclose the potential impacts of a project, suggest methods to minimize those impacts and
discuss alternatives to the project so that decision makers will have full information upon which to
base their decisions. CEQA applies to both public and private projects.
The Planning and Economic Development Department routinely uses environmental consultants
to assist in the CEQA analysis of private development projects. Other City departments such as
Engineering Services, Community Services and Public Works utilize CEQA consultants as
needed for public projects. To reduce contract redundancies and streamline the procurement
process, a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) was prepared to create an “on-call” consultant list
for CEQA services that can be utilized by all City departments.
ANALYSIS:
In 2018, the City solicited a formal Request for Statement of Qualifications #18/19-201 for the
purposes of creating a qualified vendor list for “on-call” CEQA consulting services. After receiving
24 responses from prospective vendors, an evaluation panel was formed, and the proposal
responses were evaluated and rated in accordance with the criteria identified in the SOQ. At its
meeting on March 20, 2019, the City Council approved the execution of master agreements with
the top 11 selected consultant firms to conduct “on-call” CEQA environmental services for seven
years.
Since the execution of the “on-call” contracts with the 11 consultant firms, they have been
contacted as needed and selected for various projects based on project need and consultant’s
Page 34
Page 2

availability. However, due to high demand that many of these consultants are experiencing, city
departments have experienced difficulty in securing consultants to conduct the CEQA consulting
services for projects. As such, staff is seeking approval to expand the list of available consultants
and add an additional seven vendors to the original 11 vendors that were selected in 2019. These
seven vendors are the next ranked from the 24 prospective vendors that originally responded to
Statement of Qualifications #18/19-201 solicitation process. These firms are: LSA Associates,
CASC Engineering and Consulting, Lilburn Corporation, UltraSystems Environmental, T&B
Planning, Willdan Engineering and Infrastructure Engineering Corporation.
Once the contracts are executed and all necessary paperwork submitted, the additional
consultants will be added to the “on-call” list and can be contacted as needed and selected for a
project based on project need and consultant’s availability. The consultant’s work under each
individual contract will have to be authorized by the City. Consultants selected are not guaranteed
work but are available if/as needed for work up to the contracted amount over the course of the
contract term. The contract term for these seven additional consultant firms is aligned with the
initial 11 selected consultant firms, expiring in February 2024, with the option of two one-year
extensions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CEQA services for private development projects are funded by the project applicant. For public
projects, funding for CEQA services would be appropriated as part of an approved project budget.
COUNCIL MISSION/VISION/GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This item contributes towards the City Council’s vision of “building on our success as a world class
community, to create an equitable, sustainable, and vibrant city, rich in opportunity for all to thrive”
by ensuring that planning and development services and processes are provided in a responsive
and efficient manner.

SUBJECT:Consideration to Award a Contract to DUDEK for the Preparation of an
Urban Forest Management Plan in an Amount Not to Exceed $250,000.
(CITY/FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council/Board of Directors of the Fire Protection District accept
the proposals received, award and authorize the execution of a contract in the amount not to
exceed $250,000 for the preparation of an Urban Forest Management Plan to DUDEK of
Pasadena, to be funded from various City and Special District accounts.
BACKGROUND:
The City is responsible for overseeing the care and maintenance of approximately 77,000 trees
within its borders. To address the magnitude of all that is involved in managing the urban forest
presently and in the future, staff determined there is a need for a comprehensive Urban Forest
Management Plan (UFMP). This plan represents a cross-departmental initiative that will build on
planning efforts such as the General Plan, the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood and Conservation
Plan, and the Climate Action Plan.
City staff will work closely with the consultant to prepare the UFMP which will analyze and provide
recommendations for items such as: tree ordinances, the city’s tree inventory, a tree canopy
analysis, identification of the current health of the urban forest, and location specific species goals
for existing and future development. The UFMP will assist City staff with incorporating urban forest
management best practices, including setting greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals,
wildfire prevention, long-term City tree canopy cover goals, and establish maintenance practices
for commercial trees. The canopy analysis will also identify opportunities for urban forest
expansion for both public and private trees. This document will further identify reforestation
solutions to address replacing trees that are reaching the end of their life span. The UFMP will be
led by a science-based, community-driven process. The consultant and City staff will facilitate
community engagement activities such as surveys, workshops, an urban forest summit, and
develop social media posts to solicit advice and feedback on UFMP development and
implementation. Presentations to the Planning Commission and City Council will occur to provide
updates and progress of the plan. The final and adopted UFMP will provide staff with a long-term
Page 36

plan to mitigate future state mandates, drought, urban heat effects, and wildfires, while creating
a roadmap for the City’s urban forest over the next 50 years. Having this plan in place will create
opportunities for the City to pursue grant opportunities related to climate action initiatives.
The Procurement Division prepared and posted RFP #21/22-011 for preparation of an Urban
Forest Management Plan. There were seven hundred fifty-three (753) notified vendors; thirty-two
(32) prospective bidders downloaded or viewed the bid package, and three (3) responses were
received.
ANALYSIS:
An Evaluation Committee consisting of City staff from departments that will benefit from the
UFMP conducted a thorough analysis of the RFP responses and scored and ranked the
proposals in accordance with the RFP evaluation criteria. The top two (2) highest ranked vendors
were invited to be interviewed and provided an opportunity to present additional information to
enhance their proposal submittals. Vendors were evaluated and rated based on their
presentation and responses to pre-determined questions from the Evaluation Committee.
DUDEK was the highest ranking and was determined to be the most responsive vendor providing
the best value while meeting the scope of services listed in the RFP. Therefore, staff
recommends City Council award a contract to DUDEK of Pasadena, California, effective
November 2, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $250,000. DUDEK will have 15 months to
complete and deliver the UFMP along with assisting staff with modifications to the municipal
code as required. A copy of the contract is on file in the City Clerk’s Office.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2022/23 adopted budget for this project is $250,000 to be funded from various
City and Special District accounts. The completion of the Urban Forest Management Plan will
enable City staff to prepare future budgets based on the findings and recommendations made
within the plan.
The chart below has been prepared to illustrate the funding break down from the various Fire
District, City, and Special District accounts considering the number of trees in each Special
District.

SUBJECT:Consideration of an Appropriation in the Amount of $360,033 for the
Contract to ConvergeOne, Inc. for Replacement of Library Network
Equipment Under the USAC E-Rate Program. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve an appropriation in the total amount of $360,033 for the
contract that was awarded in April 2022 to ConvergeOne under the USAC E-Rate program. This
funding includes E-Rate reimbursement in the amount of $194,049 for one-time eligible charges for
the replacement of network equipment serving public patrons of the City’s library system. The
contract with ConvergeOne was awarded and approved by City Council in April 2022, however funds
were not appropriated in FY 21/22 due to the delayed approval process for the USAC E-Rate.
BACKGROUND:
In 2016, City Council approved the procurement and installation of upgraded network equipment
at both the Archibald and Biane Public Libraries to provide wireless public internet access utilizing
the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) E-Rate program. The E-Rate program
provides discounted pricing and partial cost reimbursement to support public internet access in K-
12 schools, colleges and universities, and public libraries. The E-Rate program also provides
federal funding to offset the cost of public internet projects based on a combination of factors
including school district demographic data and square footage calculations of library buildings.
This funding can be received either as a reimbursement or as a direct subsidy of the initial
equipment purchase.
The 2016 project provided high-speed wireless internet access to both City libraries with up to 10
Gbps service, allowing for patrons to bring personal electronic devices or use the library’s laptops
at no cost.
Rancho Cucamonga’s libraries have historically served as centerpieces for learning and
exploration, providing access to media in a variety of forms at no cost to patrons. The past few
years have highlighted the importance of providing high-speed internet access to underserved and
low-income communities in a safe and welcoming environment. Having reliable wireless internet
at both libraries has become a valued expectation of the community and a lifeline to access online
services for a significant number of constituents.
ANALYSIS:
Much of the network equipment purchased in 2016 is near the end of its service life and requires
replacement to ensure serviceability and support. Utilizing a trusted consulting firm, staff
conducted a procurement solicitation under the E-Rate program to receive quotes for equipment

and services. The most competitive fully responsive bid was submitted by ConvergeOne, Inc. in
the amount of $360,033. Of this amount, the USAC E-Rate program will reimburse $194,049,
resulting in a net cost to the Library in the amount of $165,984.
There were a total of 3 responses to the E-Rate solicitation, with ConvergeOne, Inc. providing the
only fully responsive bid based on the equipment specified. Pricing from ConvergeOne reflected
the applied discount of 80% from manufacturer suggested retail pricing for all equipment that
qualified under the E-Rate program. This contract with ConvergeOne was awarded and approved
by the City Council in April 2022 but funds were not appropriated in FY 21/22 because the USAC
E-Rate reimbursement was not confirmed until FY 22/23.
All related documents are on file with the City Clerk’s Office and DoIT.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs for this project were not included in the FY 2022/23 budget. Staff recommends funding the
project from the Library Capital Fund. The following additional appropriations are being requested:
1329601-5605/0-3786 (Capital Outlay, Computer Equipment): $194,050
1329601-5605 (Capital Outlay, Computer Equipment): $73,090
1329601-5300 (Contract Services): $92,900
1329000-4745/0-3786 (Other Intergovernmental Reimbursement): $194,050
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This project supports Council’s Core Values to provide a nurturing and high-quality life for all by
providing equitable access to high-speed internet for all residents at no cost, and intentionally
embraces the future by investing in critical infrastructure ahead of service interruptions.

SUBJECT:Consideration of an Increase to AMG & Associates, Inc. Contract No. FD
2021-011 in the Amount of $278,000 and Authorization of an
Appropriation in the Amount of $278,000 for the Fire Station 178 Project.
(FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Fire Board:
1. Approve an increase to AMG & Associates, Inc. contract No. FD 2021-011 for $278,000
for the Fire Station 178 Project; and
2. Authorize the appropriation of $278,000 to the Fire Capital Fund (Fund 288) to cover
additional project costs.
BACKGROUND:
On February 17, 2016, the Fire Board approved the purchase of 3.8 acres of property located at
the corner of Town Center Drive and Terra Vista Parkway for future Fire Station 178. This
property is centrally located in an area of the City planned for high-density residential and large-
scale office building developments. This strategic location will help maximize existing resources
to better serve the central community while providing for systemwide draw-down and
corresponding demands for service.
On August 5, 2020, the Fire Board approved a contract amendment with Mary McGrath Architects
for Conceptual Design Build services of the new Fire Station 178. The conceptual design for the
station is a 12,176 square foot, two-story fire station that will house three (3) on-duty firefighters
24 hours per day. The station is designed to accommodate up to seven (7) on-duty personnel in
order to address potential future changes in response and staffing needs.
On September 1, 2021, the Fire Board awarded contract FD 2021-011 to AMG & Associates, Inc.
for design-build of Fire Station 178, to include both Additive Alternate No. 1 (Records Storage
Building) and No. 2 (Solar/Battery Storage System). The total contract awarded was $16,389,052
(including an allowance of $630,348 for design-build and additive alternates) and an additional
project contingency of $945,522 (totaling 10% for allowances and contingency). Construction of
Fire Station 178 utilizes the design-build process, the first time for both the City and the District.
This progressive process involves a general contractor and licensed architect partnering to form
a design-build team and then working collaboratively under a single contract to provide design
Page 41

and construction services. This process allows for a unified flow of work, greater flexibility in
awarding a contract, higher quality work, and greater cost certainty with fewer change orders and
delays.
During a study session on September 1, 2021, the Fire Board also considered options for
construction of a 9/11 Memorial using steel remnants obtained from the South Tower of the World
Trade Center. During the study session, the Fire Board directed staff to move forward with
incorporating the 9/11 Memorial at the Fire Station 178 site. In doing so, the 9/11 Memorial will
also serve as the public art for the facility.
On October 20, 2021, Mary McGrath Architects’ contract for Conceptual Design Build services of
Fire Station 178 was amended to include the design and layout of the 9/11 Memorial, as well as
creation of the Basis of Design documents and coordination with the Design-Build contractor’s
team.
As with the Fire Station, the conceptual design build phase of the 9/11 Memorial has been a Team
RC project with input from the City Manager's Office, Planning, Public Works, Community
Services, and the Fire District. Utilizing this feedback, Mary McGrath Architects created a design
that is centered around three artifacts from September 11th: steel from the World Trade Center,
pieces of the plane from Flight 93, and a piece of the Pentagon. The artifacts have been linked
together with a canopied walking path, and a central canopied gathering space occupying the
space in between. Along the paths, in the space between the artifacts, are two monuments to
commemorate the City of Rancho Cucamonga’s Gold Star Service Members who have lost their
lives since September 11th. Additional elements include a planter with three flagpoles, a granite
pedestal with an eternal flame, benches for reflection, garden areas, and gathering spaces.
ANALYSIS:
The Basis of Design documents were prepared at a concept level of design and included written
performance requirements. The intent of these documents was to allow AMG & Associates’ team
to provide a high‐level order of magnitude cost proposal for the park addition and ultimately,
complete the construction documents and construct the 9/11 Memorial.
The Basis of Design documents were provided to AMG & Associates’ team in May 2022 for review
and pricing. However, due to the intricacies of the project and the various elements included in
the design, pricing was difficult to determine due to the design having only been prepared at the
concept level. The initial pricing was received in July 2022; however, construction numbers came
in higher than expected due to rising construction costs and a number of unknowns with the
project. District staff worked with AMG & Associates and Mary McGrath Architects to identify
options for value engineering in order to reduce costs. Ultimately, it was determined that the best
way to get accurate, competitive pricing for the project was to move forward with schematic
design, design development, and completion of construction documents.
Staff recommends approving a change order with AMG & Associates, Inc. in the amount of
$278,000 for the 9/11 Memorial at Fire Station 178. The change order includes the Schematic
Design, Design Development, Construction Documentation, and Pre-Construction Services costs
for the 9/11 Memorial. Once design is complete and pricing is received, the Fire Board will be
able to determine if and when to proceed with the next phase of the 9/11 Memorial.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost of the contract amendment is $278,000. An appropriation of $288,000 in the Fire
District’s Capital Fund (3288501-5650 / 1645288-6318) is needed for the amendment.

SUBJECT:Consideration of Amendment No. 3 to Contract No. 2020-107 with
Champion Fire Systems for Fire Suppression System Maintenance and
an Increase to the Contract Spending Limit for Fiscal Year 2022/2023.
(CITY/FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council and Board of Directors:
1. Approve Amendment No. 3 to Contract CO 2020-107 with Champion Fire Systems for
fire suppression system maintenance.
2. Increase the contract amount spending limit $37,730 to a total of $82,730 during FY
2022/2023 for City facilities.
3. Increase the contract spending limit $16,150 to a total of $36,150 during FY 2022/2023
for Fire District facilities.
BACKGROUND:
On October 7, 2020, the City Council and Board of Directors accepted the bids received for fire
suppression system maintenance including testing, repair, and preventative maintenance for
water-based systems, fire extinguishers, fire/smoke doors, kitchen hood systems, fire hose, and
clean agent suppression systems. The City Council and Board of Directors awarded the fire
suppression system maintenance Contract CO 2020-107 to Champion Fire Systems, of Rancho
Cucamonga, in accordance with Request for Proposal RFP 20/21-003. Staff has been satisfied
with Champion Fire Systems and has since renewed their contract for the 2021/2022 Fiscal Year
and the 2022/2023 Fiscal Year and plans to continue with their services throughout the remainder
of their contract. The contract is currently working under Amendment No. 2 with a not to exceed
amount of $45,000 for City facilities and $20,000 for Fire District facilities during the 2022/2023
Fiscal Year.
ANALYSIS:
The contract amount covers routine maintenance and extra work. However, additional work is
required more than what was originally anticipated. After a recent thorough inspection, it was
discovered that repairs are needed at City Hall, Animal Center, Lions West, Public Works Service
Center (PWSC), PWSC Warehouse, City Fleet Shop, Archibald Library, Victoria Gardens Cultural
Page 44

Center, RC Sports Center, LoanMart Stadium, Fire Fleet Shop, Fire Station 176, Fire Station 175,
and the Public Safety Facility. These repairs consist of minor repairs including missing
escutcheons, signage replacement, gauge calibration, and major repairs including fire sprinkler
relocation, fire sprinkler head replacement, and fire suppression system leaks. The estimated cost
of these repairs is $30,980 for City facilities and $13,150 for Fire District facilities.
For staff to account for the aforementioned repairs in addition to future repairs that may be
needed, staff recommends the City Council and Board of Directors approve Amendment No. 3,
increasing the contract spending limit to an amount not to exceed $82,730 for City facilities and
$36,150 for Fire District facilities during FY 2022/2023. Amendment on file with the City Clerk’s
office.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fire suppression repairs at the various City and Fire District facilities are within the Fiscal Year
2022/2023 adopted budget in accounts 1001312-5304 (City Facilities Maintenance), 1700312-
5304 (Sports Complex Maintenance), and 3281529-5304 (Fire Facilities Maintenance).

improvements remain free from defects in material and workmanship.
BACKGROUND:
On August 4, 2021, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Golden Gate
Construction, Inc. in the amount $753,620 for the Civic Center COVID-19 and ADA Improvements
Project FY 21-22. Additionally, the City Council authorized a 20% contingency in the amount of
$150,724 to address unforeseen construction related incidentals.
The scope of work performed consisted of reconfiguring several departments, including carpet
and ceiling replacement, in the upper level of City Hall, the remodeling of the Community Services
Department breakroom, the expansion of two (2) offices in the Finance Department and the
replacement of carpeting in two stairways, plus other related work.

ANALYSIS:
The subject project has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications
and to the satisfaction of the City Manager. The final cost of the construction contract is
$860,287.05, a net increase of $106,667.05 resulting from twenty-three (23) Contract Change
Orders, as summarized below:
• Deductive Contract Change Orders: During the course of the project, several adjustments
to the project scope required less work to be performed by the contractor than originally
intended. This work included the elimination of a partition wall and door, as well as
demolition of an existing wall. A decrease of $1,473 is a result of two (2) Contract Change
Orders.
• Additive Contract Change Orders: Several adjustments to the project scope required
additional work to be performed or materials to be provided by the contractor. This work
included demolition and replacement of cabinetry and hardware, changes in flooring
materials and paint, additional doors and hardware, HVAC improvements, and other
associated improvements. An increase of $108,140.05 is a result of twenty-one (21)
Contract Change Orders.
At the end of the one-year maintenance period, if the improvements remain free from defects in
materials and workmanship, the City Clerk is authorized to release the Maintenance Bond upon
approval of the City Manager.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The final contract amount for Golden Gate Construction, Inc., Contract No. CO 2021-103, is
$860,287.05. Sufficient funds are available in the Capital Reserve (1025001-5602) and Federal
Grants Fund (1275208-5602 / 2085275-0) for the final project cost.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This project addresses the City Council Core Values of promoting and enhancing a safe and
health community for all and intentionally embracing and anticipating the future. This is
accomplished by ensuring City staff have a safe environment where they can collaborate with
peers, while limiting the spread of communicable diseases. The project also increases
accessibility to workspaces and other areas of the Civic Center to meet the City’s American with
Disability Act Transition Plan.

Consideration of Resolution No. FD 2022-035, Setting Forth the Findings
that Allow the Board of Directors to Make Amendments and Other Changes
to the 2022 California Fire Code by Approval of an Ordinance Adopting
Said Fire Code. (RESOLUTION NO. FD 2022-035) (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Directors of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection
District adopt Resolution No. FD 2022-035 that makes express findings of fact relevant to the
adoption and amendment of the 2022 California Fire Code as required by Health and Safety
Code Section 17958.7. These findings of fact, based on local geologic, topographic, and climatic
conditions are necessary to provide the legal justification for making local changes and/or
amendments to the California Fire Code.
BACKGROUND:
Health and Safety Code Section 17958 provides that the District shall adopt ordinances and
regulations imposing the same, modified, or changed requirements as those that are contained
in the regulations adopted by the State of California. Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5(a)
permits the District to make changes or modifications to the California Fire Code when such
changes are reasonably necessary because of local geologic, topographic, or climatic conditions.
Section 17958.7 of the Health and Safety Code requires that the Board, before making any
changes or modifications to the California Fire Code, make an express finding that such changes
or modifications are reasonably necessary because of local geologic, topographic, or climatic
conditions.
ANALYSIS:
Counsel has advised that the express findings should be adopted in a resolution of the Board that
is separate from the ordinance that adopts the Fire Code. However, to comply with the
requirements of the Health and Safety Code, both the adopting ordinance and the findings
resolution need to be approved and adopted in conjunction with each other. As in years past,
District staff has determined that local geologic, topographic, and climatic conditions do exist that
make changes and modifications to the California Fire Code reasonably necessary. It is
recommended that the Board simply formalize those findings by way of this resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This resolution performs an administrative function required by State law and does not have a
fiscal impact on the Fire District.
Page 58
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
In facilitating the adoption and amendment of the 2022 California Fire Code, this resolution affirms
the following stated values of the Fire Board:
•Providing and nurturing a high quality of life for all.
•Promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all.
•Relentless pursuit of improvement.

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE RANCHO
CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT, RANCHO CUCAMONGA,
CALIFORNIA, SETTING FORTH FINDINGS WITH RESPECT TO LOCAL
GEOLOGIC, TOPOGRAPHIC, AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS WHICH
MAKE CHANGES, MODIFICATIONS, AMENDMENTS, ADDITIONS,
DELETIONS, AND EXCEPTIONS TO THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE
REASONABLY NECESSARY
WHEREAS, the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (“District”) is a public agency located
in the County of San Bernardino, State of California; and
WHEREAS, The Health and Safety Code Section 17958 provides that the District shall adopt
ordinances and regulations imposing the same, modified, or changed requirements as are contained in
the regulations adopted by the State of California (herein after “State”) pursuant to Health and Safety
Code Section 17922; and
WHEREAS, The State is mandated by Health and Safety Code Section 17922 to impose the
same requirements as are contained in the most recent edition of the California Fire Code; and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5(a) permits the District to make changes or
modifications to the California Fire Code which are reasonably necessary because of local geologic,
topographic, or climatic conditions; and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires that the Board, before making any
changes or modifications to the California Fire Code, shall make an express finding that such changes or
modifications are reasonably necessary due to local geologic, topographic, or climatic conditions; and
WHEREAS, The Board has determined that local geologic, topographic, and climatic conditions
do exist that make changes and modifications to the California Fire Code reasonably necessary and that
those conditions are:
1. Geologic
a. The District has within its boundaries active seismic hazards along five known earthquake
faults. Seismic activity events within the District occur throughout the year and a fire potential
exists with these events. Existing structures and planned new development are at serious
risk from an earthquake. This risk includes fire, collapse, and the disruption of utility services,
including water main breaks and lost or diminished water supply for firefighting purposes
along with the loss of natural gas and electricity services that supply power to essential
systems. Areas can become isolated and/or be subject to delayed responses as a result of
bridge, overpass, and road damage and debris.
b. Due to its location along the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, the District is subjected to
flooding, flash flooding, and rapid runoff conditions during rain episodes. Some of the major
arterial streets in the District are designed to function as part of the flood control system and
are at times impassable as a result of high, swift-moving running water. Other streets are
often damaged and/or clogged with debris during flooding episodes creating delayed
responses by emergency apparatus. Roads are often washed out or obstructed by landslides,
especially in the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area.
c. The District’s jurisdiction includes a significant amount of designated Wildland-Urban Interface
Fire Area comprised of both State and Local Responsibility Areas. The native vegetation in
ATTACHMENT 1
Page 60
Resolution No. FD 2022-035 - Page 2 of 4
2
9
6
6
these areas of the south aspect of the San Gabriel Mountains is capable of and has in the
past produced wildfire conflagrations that threaten large numbers of homes and businesses
and have in the past destroyed homes and other buildings. Wildfires threaten the continuity of
electricity services since calculated flame lengths are capable of damaging above ground
transmission lines that are installed across the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area. Loss of
electricity can affect public and private water supply systems if pumps do not have the power
necessary to maintain minimum pressures in the systems. Loss of electricity can also affect
the ability of essential systems to operate as designed. Evacuations cause streets to reach
capacity, which slows response times.
2. Topographic
a. The District is situated on the alluvial fan of the San Gabriel Mountains, an inclined plane that
increases from approximately 1,200 feet in elevation on the south side of the District to
approximately 3,000 feet in elevation on the north side of the District. This elevation change
occurs across approximately seven miles creating several roads with steep slopes that slow
fire apparatus and produce extended response times. Some slopes within the District exceed
30%. The slopes, with a south facing aspect and native vegetation consisting chaparral and
various types of sage scrub, contribute to fast moving wildfires with extreme flame lengths,
especially during Santa Ana wind events.
b. The District contains two freeways and several main arterial streets that connect several of
the foothill cities. Traffic conditions on any given day, absent geological or climatological
complications, are sufficient to cause delayed responses by fire apparatus. The District also
has several at-grade railroad crossings that are used daily by commuter and freight trains.
Train traffic across these grades causes extended response times or the need to dispatch
additional units that can respond from the opposite of the train crossing.
c. The elevation change within the District and the rapid rise of the San Gabriel Mountains
adjacent to the District are topographical conditions that naturally create flooding throughout
the District and region. A comprehensive flood management system has been constructed but
flooding, including flash flooding, still occurs during significant rainfall and snow melt
conditions. Flooding can damage the electrical distribution system and leave roads heavily
damaged or impassable. The flood management system in the District relies on many mid-
block and intersection at-grade drainage channels that create dips in roads that require fire
apparatus to slow their response in order to prevent damage to the vehicles. Other rises and
troughs designed to direct and carry flood waters during rain episodes that are built into major
arterial streets create elevation changes dramatic enough to produce fire apparatus damage if
they are not traversed at significantly reduced speeds. Reduced speeds along these main
thoroughfares create extended response times.
3. Climatic
a. The District is bounded on the east and the west by canyons that channel seasonal high-
pressure air masses from the desert to the ocean creating Santa Ana winds. Santa Ana winds
in the District have a history of sustained velocities of 40-60 miles per hour with gusts in
excess of 80 miles per hour. The winds create damage that includes downed power lines,
downed utility poles, fallen trees, and blowing dust and debris. These hazards create
extended response times. The wind can cause damage to the public electric utility resulting in
the possibility of fire alarms, fire pumps, other fire and life safety protection equipment, and
traffic signals being rendered ineffective or completely out of service.
b. The summer and early fall months often see periods of high temperatures and low humidity
that quickly dry out the native chaparral and other foothill vegetation as well as the historic
windrows planted when the area was a mostly agricultural area. The combination of high
temperatures, low humidity, and Santa Ana winds create critical fire weather conditions
Page 61
Resolution No. FD 2022-035 - Page 3 of 4
2
9
6
6
capable of producing catastrophic wildland fires and wildland-urban interface conflagrations.
The District has experienced a number large area wildland during the course of its existence.
Such fires quickly deplete the District’s resources and the resources of neighboring
jurisdictions as these fire events are generally large regional events that span several cities
and many miles. Critical fire weather conditions can result in a public safety power shutoff
(PSPS). Actual wildfire events can result in evacuations that fill streets to capacity, which
delays emergency response.
c. The rapid rise of the San Gabriel Mountains has the potential to and historically has
generated thunderstorm and significant rainfall events that quickly result in both localized and
regional flooding, including flash flooding. Flooding has resulted in roads and bridges being
washed out or otherwise made impassable. Flooding has been substantial enough to result in
major debris flows that include whole trees and boulders which block entire streets and knock
down poles and towers that support power lines. These conditions cause damage to utility
systems and can significantly impede or delay emergency response.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE
PROTECTION DISTRICT HEREBY FINDS AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
1. The facts set forth in this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Changes, modifications, amendments, additions, deletions, and exceptions to the California Fire
Code are reasonably necessary in the District.
3. The reasonably necessary changes, modifications, amendments, additions, deletions, and
exceptions to specific sections of the California Fire Code are listed along with the applicable
findings in a matrix appended to this resolution, marked as Exhibit A, and incorporated by
reference herein.
4. The aforementioned changes, modifications, amendments, additions, deletions, and exceptions
have been incorporated in detail in Ordinance FD 58.
5. Copies of this Resolution and Ordinance FD 58 shall be filed with the California Building
Standards Commission as required by Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7.

DATE:November 2, 2022
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY:Robert Neiuber, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT:Consideration to Approve a Resolution Adopting an Amendment to the
Rancho Cucamonga Management Association and Rancho Cucamonga
City Employees Association Salary Schedules for the Fiscal Year
2022/2023. (RESOLUTION NO. 2022-129) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution adopting an amendment to the Rancho
Cucamonga Management Association (RCMA) and Rancho Cucamonga City Employees
Association (RCCEA) salary schedules for the fiscal year 2022/2023.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council traditionally adopts salary resolutions biannually for classifications employed by the
City of Rancho Cucamonga. These resolutions are updated to reflect changes in salaries, additions
and deletions in classifications, changes in job titles, and other terms of employment.
The Risk Management Division provides essential services to the City and Fire District including
identifying, analyzing, administering, managing, and controlling adverse exposure to occupational
safety risks and losses. Risk Management operations have been administered by a single Risk
Management Coordinator under the direction of the Human Resources Director for several decades,
even though the size of the City organization has doubled, and the scope of risk management duties
has grown. Changes to the division are necessary to keep pace with the growing organizational
needs.
The Building & Safety Services Department provides quality building related services to the
community through innovative programming, technology, and the highest standard of code
application including inspections. Currently, the Building & Safety Services Department is also
restructuring to keep pace with growing organizational needs.
ANALYSIS:
As a result of the continued expansion of service levels, the duties and responsibilities of the Senior
Risk Management position have evolved to directly assist the City and Fire District with updated
safety policies and procedures, respond to OSHA investigations, file small claims court matters for
RCMU and other departments, and manage the impacts from recent environmental and health risks.
The expansion of duties and responsibilities is more consistent with a Risk Manager classification.
Changes to the salary schedules reflect the Risk Management Division reorganization and include:
•Reclassification of the Senior Risk Management Analyst position to Risk Manager. The salary
range for this position would be set equal to the Finance Manager salary range. In addition, this
Page 70
Page 2

reclassification would result in a 5% salary increase and an increase in benefits from
Supervisory/Professional to Management.
•Addition of a new Safety Officer position. The Safety Officer will develop, implement, and
administer occupational health and safety programs, and safety-related training. The salary
range for this position would be set at 20.5% below the Risk Manager salary range and 22.5%
above the Risk Management Coordinator salary range.
•Reclassification of the Public Works Safety Coordinator to Risk Management Coordinator. The
Risk Management Coordinator would be responsible for the overall support of the Public Works
safety program and programs for other Departments as directed by the Safety Officer. The Public
Works Safety Coordinator position would be deleted from the salary schedule. The current
RCCEA salary schedule includes a Risk Management Coordinator salary range. The salary
range will remain the same. This reclassification would result in a 1% salary increase.
Additionally, the Building & Safety Services Department restructure would include the addition of the
Building & Safety Manager position. This position was recently removed from the salary schedule.
The Building & Safety Manager would bring back the position at the same salary range to allow for
greater flexibility in recruiting and supervision.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution adopting the amended
salary schedules for RCMA and RCCEA to include the aforementioned changes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Fiscal impacts as a result of the Risk Management reorganization would incur a total of no more
than $165,000 for the fiscal year 2022/2023. Fiscal impacts for the Building & Safety Manager
position would incur a total of $163,080 for the fiscal year 2022/2023.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addressed the City Council’s vision of building a world-class community, to create an
equitable, sustainable, and vibrant city, rich in opportunity for all to thrive is achieved.

DATE:November 2, 2022
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY:Michael Frasure, Director of Building and Safety Services
SUBJECT:Consideration of a Resolution Setting Forth the Findings that Allow the City
Council to Make Amendments and Other Changes to the 2022 California Codes,
and 2021 International Codes by Approval of the Ordinance Adopting Said Codes.
(RESOLUTION NO. 2022-130) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-0130, regulations imposing the
same, modified, or changed requirements as those that are contained in the regulations adopted by
the State of California when such changes are reasonably necessary because of local geologic,
topographic, or climatic conditions. the 2022 California Model Codes and applicable 2021
International Codes.
BACKGROUND:
The California Building Standards Commission recently adopted the 2022 Edition of the California
Building Codes, which is also known as the California Code of Regulations, Title 24 (CCR, T-24).
The 2022 California Building Codes include the California Building Code, the California Plumbing
Code, the California Mechanical Code, the California Electrical Code, the California Residential
Code, the California Green Building Code, and the California Historical Building Code. The
ordinance will bring all of the City’s Building and Construction Regulations into compliance with the
latest codes adopted by the California Building Standards Commission. Also required is the
adoption of the 2021 International Pool and Spa Code and the International Property Maintenance
Codes. Under State statute, specific referenced model codes must be adopted by the local
jurisdictions within 180 days of the publication date of the model codes. The effective date for local
enforcement of the new codes will be January 1, 2023.
Additionally, any modifications made by local agencies to the technical regulations adopted by the
California Building Standards Commission may only become effective if the local jurisdiction makes
express findings of needs for changes due to local conditions. These modifications must be directly
related to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions in the form of an Ordinance and
must be filed directly with the Building Standards Commission after its adoption.
ANALYSIS:
The 2022 California Building Codes are based on the International Building Code, Volumes 1 and 2,
2021 Edition, the International Residential Code, 2021 Edition, and the International Property
Maintenance Code, published by the International Code Council (ICC); California Green Building
Code 2021 Edition, published by a joint effort of different State agencies; the 2021 International
Pool and Spa Code published by the ICC and the American Association of Pool and Spa
Professionals (APSP); the Uniform Plumbing and Mechanical Codes, 2021 Editions, published by
Page 79
Page 2
the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAMPO); and the National
Electrical Code, 2020 Edition, published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
The City has previously adopted a number of technical amendments to the building codes because
of special local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions. All applicable past amendments
are carried over into the new codes at this time. Examples of some major local code amendments
are the requirements of high wind design criteria, Class A fire retardant roofing materials for new
buildings built in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, soil reports for new construction due to
the special conditions of soil in the City, etc. At the beginning of each municipal code section
shown in the Ordinance, there are tables of the code sections which identify the local amendments.
It should be noted that the amendments to the administrative provisions and regulations addressing
elements of construction that are not regulated by the California Building Standards Commission do
not need to meet the test of being necessary due to climatic, geological, or topographical
conditions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No new fees or changes to the current building permit fee structure are proposed as part of this
building code adoption process.
COUNCIL GOALS:
ENHANCING PREMIER COMMUNITY STATUS AND PUBLIC SAFETY: The adoption of these
codes will bring our building and construction regulations into compliance with the latest codes and
is an excellent demonstration of local government with outstanding vision of maintaining up-to-date
construction requirements and great public safety.

RESOLUTION NO. 2022-130
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, SETTING FORTH
FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF AMENDMENTS TO THE 2022
CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, RESIDENTIAL CODE, PLUMBING
CODE, ELECTRICAL CODE AND MECHANICAL CODE
BASED ON LOCAL CLIMATIC, TOPOGRAPHICAL AND/OR
GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958 provides that the City of Rancho
Cucamonga may adopt ordinances and regulations imposing the same or modified or changed
building standards as are contained in the codes required to be adopted by the State pursuant
to Health and Safety Code Sections 17922 and 18930; and
WHEREAS, the State of California is mandated to adopt the building standards and
other rules contained in the model codes specified in Health and Safety Code Section 17922,
and to publish said codes, as amended, collectively as the California Building Standards Code;
and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5(a) and 18941.5(b) permit the
City to amend building standards in the codes comprising the California Building Standards
Code based on findings that such amendments are reasonably necessary because of local
climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does hereby
find and resolve as follows:
Section 1. The Building and Safety Department has recommended that changes and
modifications be made to the 2022 Editions of the California Building Code, Plumbing Code,
Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, and Residential Code, and that such modifications are
reasonably necessary due to local conditions in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, as described
below:
A.Climatic Conditions
1.Hot, dry Santa Ana winds are common to all areas within the City of Rancho
Cucamonga and San Bernardino County in general. These winds, which can
cause small fires which spread quickly, are a contributing factor to the high
fire danger in the area and create the need for an increased level of fire
protection. This added protection will supplement normal fire department
response available and provide immediate protection for life and safety of
multiple occupancy occupants during fire occurrences.
2.San Bernardino County and the City of Rancho Cucamonga are located in a
semi-arid Mediterranean type of climate which predisposes all fuels to rapid
ignition and spread of fire. Therefore, there exists a need for additional fire
protection measures.
B.Geographical Conditions
Attachment 1
Page 81
1.San Bernardino County and the City of Rancho Cucamonga are located in
Seismic Zone 4. There are earthquake faults that run along the northern, eastern
and southwestern boundaries of the County. The Cucamonga Fault and San
Andreas Fault are the major earthquake faults lying on the northern part of the
City. They can create major damages and pose one of the greatest hazards to
lives and properties in the county. The San Jose Fault together with the Whittier
Fault on the southwest location of the county and the San Jacinto Fault on the
eastern part of the County can also create major earthquakes with tremendous
damages. Experts predict a major earthquake might occur in our area within the
next 50 years. This situation creates a need for additional fire, life, safety
protection measures.
2.Traffic and circulation congestion presently existing in the City of Rancho
Cucamonga often places fire department response time to fire occurrences at
risk. This condition will be exacerbated by any major disaster, including any
earthquake wherein damage to the highway system will occur. This condition
makes the need for additional on-site protection for property occupants
necessary.
C.Topographical Conditions
1.The City is built on soil with high degrees of landslides, rockslides from the
adjacent foothills and mountains. In addition, the majority of the City has steep
hills and streets with great potential of flooding and erosion problems which
inhibit firefighting and rescuing capabilities.
Specific amendments to the 2022 Editions of the California Building Code, Plumbing Code,
Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, and Residential Code, as set forth in City of Rancho
Cucamonga Ordinance No. 1011 are found reasonably necessary based on the climatic,
geological, and/or topographic conditions cited above in this Resolution and are listed as
follows:
Building Code amendments Findings section(s)
Section 101.4 Chapter 1 Administrative

TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY:Noah Daniels, Finance Director
SUBJECT:Public Hearing to Consider the Detachment of Certain Property from Street
Lighting Maintenance Districts Nos. 1 and 6 and Consideration of the
Approval of a Resolution Ordering the Detachment of Such Property from
the Districts and to Adjust the Boundary of Each District’s Map.
(RESOLUTION NO. 2022-131 AND RESOLUTION NO. 2022-132) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council conduct a public hearing to consider the detachment of
real property, identified as 12434 4th Street, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 (“the Property”), from
Street Lighting Maintenance Districts Nos. 1 and 6 (collectively, the “Districts”).
BACKGROUND:
The Property is included within the boundaries of the Districts and Community Facilities District
No. 2022-01 (Street Lighting Services) of the City of Rancho Cucamonga (“CFD 2022-01”). The
purpose of CFD 2022-01 is to provide maintenance and services for streetlights, replacing the
historical Districts for new development within the City. The Property was annexed into
CFD 2022-01 on June 1, 2022, and the Districts provide similar services.
On September 6, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution Nos. 2022-123 and 2022-124
declaring the intention to detach the Property from the Districts and set a public hearing to be held
on November 2, 2022, to consider the proposed detachment. Upon closing the public hearing,
the City Council should consider approving the Resolution to order the detachment of the Property
from Districts and adjust the boundary of each District’s map.
ANALYSIS:
Since the Property is included in the CFD 2022-01 and the Districts, the Property must be
detached from the Districts. The Landscape and Light Act of 1972 (the “1972 Act”), which the
Districts were formed through, provides that the City Council may order the Property be detached
from the Districts following a public hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The special assessments revenues levied by the Districts will be removed. However, such special
assessments are being replaced by special taxes with CFD 2022-01. CFD 2022-01 was formed
to be financially self-sufficient, meaning the revenues generated by CFD 2022-01 offset the costs
of providing services and can be adjusted annually based on changes in overall operating costs
for the streetlights.

RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission and Staff recommend the City Council conduct first reading of
Ordinance No. 1012 by title only and waive full reading of the following:
•Approval of Municipal Code Amendment to amend Title 17 of the Municipal Code to
incorporate mew optional development standards and approval of Zoning Map
Amendment to amend the Zoning Map to establish a new Overlay Zoning District.
BACKGROUND:
For over 5 years, the residents and property owners living in the vicinity of Camino Predera, a
street within the Red Hill neighborhood, have struggled to agree on what constitutes appropriate
housing styles and sizes for the development of the remaining lots on Camino Predera. Many of
the existing residents in the Camino Predera area have raised concerns about the applications
submitted to the City to construct new houses on the remaining vacant properties in their
neighborhood. They have expressed these concerns during various steps of the City’s review
process of these applications including the Design Review Committee meetings and the Planning
Commission public hearings. Many of these concerns have centered around the overall size (floor
area) of the proposed houses, their form or visual “massing”, overbuilding on the site in general,

SUBJECT:PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION OF MUNICIPAL CODE
AMENDMENT AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENT – CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA – Consideration of a proposal to amend Title 17 of the Municipal
Code to incorporate new development standards related to, for example,
structure height, modifications to existing topographical conditions, and the City’s
application processing requirements applicable to thirty-eight (38) properties that
are located on the north and south sides of Camino Predera and all properties
that have street frontage along Predera Court, a residential neighborhood
generally located north of Foothill Boulevard/Pacific Electric (PE) Trail and west
of Carnelian Avenue/Cucamonga Creek, in the Low Residential (L) Zone and
amend the Zoning Map to establish an overlay zoning district (“Camino Predera
Overlay”) that identifies which properties are subject to the new development
standards; APNs: 0207-631-01 through -11 and -14 through -25, and 0207-641-
01 through -15. These amendments are exempt from environmental review
pursuant to Section 15161(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines. DRC2020-00004 and DRC2022-00315. (ORDINANCE NO.

and crowding between structures. The overall theme of these concerns was that these proposals
were not compatible nor consistent with the character of the existing neighborhood. These
concerns are rarely expressed, and never to the same degree, by the owners of properties
elsewhere in Red Hill, or the greater citywide Hillside Overlay in general, when a Hillside Design
Review (HDR) application is proposed in their vicinity. Additionally, the property owners and
applicants for the development of the remaining undeveloped lots have raised concerns that
meeting the desires of the neighbors is economically or physically infeasible.
In late 2018, owners in Camino Predera submitted to the City Council an appeal of the Planning
Commission’s approval of a development application proposed on the north side of Camino
Predera. The City Council considered this appeal during two public hearings. After considering
the concerns of the Camino Predera owners, the Councilmembers asked the applicant’s architect
to revise the proposal. The architect subsequently made significant modifications to the technical
and design details of the proposed house. At the third and final public hearing for the application,
the City Council upheld the Planning Commission’s approval with the proposed modifications.
During this last public hearing the City Council requested that staff review the current hillside
development standards, and if necessary, establish new standards. The intent of this request was
to alleviate the concerns noted above and to ensure that any house proposed in the future would
be compatible and consistent in character with existing houses along Camino Predera. Similarly,
it was to facilitate the development process by providing future developers/homeowners clear
objective standards.
As staff began this effort, the scope of the City’s review initially included all areas within the
citywide Hillside Overlay. However, staff determined the concerns that were assumed to be
shared commonly in the citywide Hillside Overlay by staff were not frequently expressed by all
property owners. Staff concluded that the topography and development pattern of Red Hill was
unlike other areas in the Hillside Overlay and, therefore, the scope of the review was further
revised to explicitly apply to thirty-eight properties located along Camino Predera and Predera
Court. This area, labeled as the Proposed Camino Predera Overlay, is shown in the Figure 1
below and additional details are provided later in this report. The following staff recommendation
is the culmination of efforts to work with the community and develop new standards, per the City
Council’s request.

Community Workshops
Staff initiated a workshop to obtain input from the Red Hill community. This would more accurately
inform staff of the development-related issues, if any, in Red Hill. That information, in turn, would
be used to create the proposed standards. The first workshop was conducted on August 8, 2019,
at Lions Center West, a community center located at 9161 Base Line Road. To assist with this
workshop, the City contracted with a meeting facilitator and a contract planner who specialized in
Code development to join City staff during the conversation with the community. All property
owners in the Red Hill community were invited to attend. At this workshop, staff explained the
purpose of the Code amendment, process, and an overview of the expectations of the
amendment. The residents were later encouraged to separate into groups to discuss their
concerns and highlight the things they appreciate most about their neighborhood.
This workshop was informative for staff. The majority of those in attendance identified several
positive attributes of Red Hill. They indicated that they had no desire for more
regulations. However, the property owners in Camino Predera expressed mixed comments about
development in their neighborhood. After the first workshop, staff further narrowed the focus of
the evaluation of the standards so that they would only apply to Camino Predera.
Staff began forming draft changes to the standards for discussion and feedback at the second
workshop which was conducted on September 9, 2019, at Valle Vista Elementary located in Red
Hill at 7727 Valle Vista Road. The meeting facilitator and contract planner who were present at
the first workshop also joined City staff for this second workshop to help property owners reach
consensus and model various development standards. Some of the most notable changes to the
standards requested by the residents included a maximum building height on the properties on
the south side of Camino Predera, increased side yard building setbacks, standards for roof
designs, and increased height for retaining walls, among others.

At the second workshop attendance was slightly less than the first. Attendees were primarily
those who reside or owned property in Camino Predera. The attendees were encouraged to break
into groups again to discuss their likes and/or dislikes with the proposed changes. The feedback
was divided between the owners on the north side of Camino Predera, who were supportive of
the changes, and property owners of vacant properties on the south side of Camino Predera, who
were not. Staff continued to refine the draft standards so they would reflect the comments received
during the second workshop.
On January 22, 2020, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for the proposed
amendments to the Municipal Code that would, if approved, amend the City’s development
standards for the properties in Camino Predera. After receiving staff’s report and comments from
the public, the Commission continued the hearing to an unspecified date to allow more time for
discussion of the potential changes to the hillside standards and collaboration between the
property owners in Camino Predera. The Commission also directed staff to continue working with
the Camino Predera community and conduct additional workshops prior to bringing the item back
to the Planning Commission for further consideration.
As requested by the Planning Commission, staff organized a follow-up third workshop on January
30, 2020, in the Tri-Communities Room at City Hall. With this effort, the scope of the City’s
review/analysis was “condensed” to address only the properties within Camino Predera and only
include the applicable owners.
As before, all owners in Camino Predera were invited to attend. This meeting allowed staff to
obtain further, focused, input from the Camino Predera owners and what was important to
them. Everyone was provided the opportunity to provide their thoughts on the standards
proposed by staff and propose their own standards. During this workshop it became apparent
that there were disagreements between the owners and their counterparts on the north side and
the south side of Camino Predera, respectively, regarding details of the proposed development
standards.
Generally, the standards proposed by the owners on the north side of Camino Predera were more
restrictive than those currently in the Code. In the meantime, the owners on the south side of
Camino Predera proposed new development standards that were relatively minimal or “no
change” compared to the standards proposed by staff. In some instances, some of the new
development standards generally related to design requirements, proposed changes considered
unnecessary or ineffective by the majority of owners. These standards were related to the type
of roof design, e.g., hip, gable, and flat; garage door orientation; and the setback of the garage
relative to the house.
More than a year later staff conducted a fourth workshop on July 29, 2021. Note that the fourth
workshop was scheduled for an earlier date in March 2020 but was postponed due to State-
mandated restrictions on in-person meetings in response to the COVID pandemic. A facilitator
was contracted by the City to assist in the discussion. As before, all owners in Camino Predera
were invited to attend. This workshop allowed staff to share with them a refined set of proposed
standards based on the collective discussion during the third workshop. The revised set of
proposed standards included adjustments to the proposed standards that staff believed was a
“balance” between what the owners on both sides of Camino Predera wanted. And, in general,
staff considered them to be fair and respectful of the property and development rights of all owners
on Camino Predera. Also, staff deleted proposed standards that were unnecessary.

Staff observed continuing disagreements regarding specifics of the proposed development
standards and that establishing new standards that would be mutually agreed upon by the owners
was unlikely. The most notable standard that was the subject of significant disagreement was
related to structure/building height relative to the finished surface of Camino Predera (the
street).
The fifth, and final, workshop was conducted on March 17, 2022. This workshop served as a
check-in with the owners in Camino Predera before staff moved forward to having the standards
reviewed for recommendation by the Planning Commission and subsequently reviewed and acted
upon by the City Council. Staff shared with them a draft of the proposed standards based on the
collective discussion during the third and fourth workshops. As before, these revisions to the
proposed standards were relatively minor and incorporated a balanced approach to the
standards.
Staff observed continuing disagreements regarding specifics of the proposed development
standards. Determining new standards that would be acceptable by all owners was seemingly
not possible. During the final workshop, staff received comments from some of the attendees
which concluded that consensus was highly unlikely and that the City needed to make a final
determination on the proposed standards.
ANALYSIS:
The subject properties that would be affected by the proposed amendments are within a
residential area that is referred to by its residents and others outside of the area as “Red Hill.”
Red Hill is also identified in this manner by a variety of resources and documents authored by the
City including the General Plan. Red Hill is bound, and generally defined, by Foothill
Boulevard/Pacific Electric (PE) Trail, Carnelian Avenue/Cucamonga Creek, Base Line Road, and
the City’s western boundary limits to the south, east, north, and west, respectively, as shown in
the Figure 2 below.
Figure 2 - Red Hill Neighborhood

Development within Red Hill mostly consists of single-family residences that were constructed
prior to the City’s incorporation in 1977. Characteristics of this include varying lot dimensions
and configurations, eclectic architecture, and mature landscaping. Red Hill also has a relatively
rural appearance as demonstrated by the limited number of streetlights and the absence of
street improvements such as sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. These characteristics and existing
conditions inform how the City considers development proposals in Red Hill.
On the west side of Red Hill is Red Hill Country Club. This golf course and associated
buildings/amenities cover 178.55 acres or about 1/3 of the land area of Red Hill. There is also a
school, Valle Vista Elementary, near the center of Red Hill. There is no commercial development
within the interior of Red Hill. There is some commercial development fronting along Foothill
Boulevard along Red Hill’s southernmost perimeter. Aside from access from Red Hill Country
Club Drive, these commercial properties are not directly accessible from any of the interior
residential streets of Red Hill.
Except for the non-residential properties described above, the General Plan land use designation
and Zoning of the properties within Red Hill are Low Residential District and Low Residential (L)
Zone, respectively. Not including the area at the north side of Red Hill near Base Line Road all
properties are also within the Hillside Overlay.

Site Characteristics – Camino Predera
The specific location of the subject properties is Tract 10035 (recorded in May 1985) located along
the southeastern edge of Red Hill as shown in Figure 4 below. This tract consists of thirty-eight
(38) lots located along Camino Predera and Predera Court (Camino Predera).
Figure 4 - Camino Predera Neighborhood
Camino Predera is generally characterized by sloped topography that decreases from
approximately 1,345 feet above sea level (ASL) on the north side to approximately 1,280 feet ASL
on the south side. Exact existing and finished grade elevations vary depending on the lot. It is
not unusual for adjacent lots to have relatively significant elevation differences between them as
demonstrated below via the image capture from Google Maps (Figure 5).

The approval of Tract 10035 did not include the construction of any houses. All residential
development, except for a set of three (3) houses, was proposed one house at a time. Twenty-
one (21) of the thirty-eight (38) lots are developed with single-family residences that were
constructed prior to 2010. Sixteen (16) of these houses are located on the north side. There is
only one vacant lot (APN: 0207-641-12, Lot 35) remaining on the north side. The other five (5)
houses are on the south side.
Of the remaining seventeen (17) undeveloped lots, there are two houses under construction
(APNs: 0207-641-03, Lot 3 and -04, Lot 4) and another currently in plan check pending
construction (APN: 0207-631-07, Lot 17). In addition, the Planning and Economic Development
Department is currently reviewing applications for the development of two (2) lots (APNs: 0207-
631-08, Lot 18 and 0207-641-12, Lot 35).
Current Development Review Process
All proposals to develop a property within the Hillside Overlay require the review of a Hillside
Design Review (HDR) application for review and approval by the City. As Camino Predera is
within this overlay, all development there is subject to this requirement. These applications are
reviewed and approved by the Planning and Economic Development Director per Section
17.16.140 (Hillside Development Review) of the Municipal Code. The exceptions to this are 1)
when there is excavation or import of soil to the project site (thus modifying the existing grade)
which would result in a change in the existing grade of 5 feet (or more) in depth or 2) when there
is a Variance associated with the HDR application. For such circumstances, review and approval
by the Planning Commission is required per Section 17.122.020(G)(1)(i) (Hillside Development)
and Section 17.20.030 (Variance) of the Code. In comparison, residential development that is not
in this overlay requires a Minor Design Review (MDR) and the development limitations are not as
restrictive.
Although it is not required by the Code, historically all HDR applications in the Overlay have
been forwarded to the Design Review Committee for their review and recommendation to the
Planning and Economic Development Director. The Director, as per the Code, would then
review the application and take final action, e.g., approve/deny/modify the project. Note that an
HDR application in Camino Predera has, until recently, been automatically forwarded to the
Planning Commission by staff regardless of whether it had 5 feet (or more) of excavation/fill
and/or needed a Variance as described above. The decision-making body that would review
and take final action on the project would be the Planning Commission and not the Planning and
Economic Development Director. In addition, all applicants for HDR applications in Camino
Predera are asked to conduct a neighborhood meeting as a courtesy to the other property
owners in Camino Predera. These actions are not typical for HDR applications that are
submitted for proposed development in other areas within the Overlay.
Proposed Standards
After receiving the feedback through community workshops and analyzing the potential impacts
of the changes, staff proposes standards as shown in the table below; however, note that the
owners in Camino Predera continue to have disagreement with three of the proposed
standards. The owners on the north side provided their proposed standards and additional
requirements. Table 1 below identifies the Development standards that are currently in effect,
proposed (by staff), and proposed (by the owners on the north side of Camino Predera). The
specific standards where there is disagreement are identified in bold in the same table.

Many of the proposed changes are focused on minimizing, but not eliminating, the height and
visual massing of the houses on the south side of Camino Predera as measured from the surface
of the street as described below.
1. Building (house) height: The maximum height above the level of the street of 14 feet
(south side) and 25 feet (north side) is proposed by staff to fulfill the following:
o Ensure that Camino Predera will have an inviting character where the houses on
both sides “frame” the street along the north and south elevation. It is the City’s
goal that all residential streets function and have a neighborhood aesthetic.
o Allow houses on the south side to continue to be readily visible with a similar curb
appeal, as seen from the street, as the neighboring houses across the street thus
ensuring a degree of resident’s enjoyment of their property; and
o Allow for a “conventional” single-story (floor) house with a typical sloped roof (hip,
gable, etc.). This minimizes the possibility of a house that has unconventional
architecture that the property owner may not prefer; have design elements that
may be generally incompatible with the architecture of other houses within Camino
Predera; and/or is challenging to construct, and/or is impractical as a residential
space.
The height limit doesn’t prohibit a height of up to 30 feet (above finished grade) throughout
any property within Camino Predera – it only is limited to that height as measured from
the street. Provided that the grade allows for it, a house can continue to be up to 30 feet
in height if it does not exceed 14 feet in height above street level.
Page 121
Page 10

2. Excavation/import (“cut/fill”): The increase in the maximum proposed in cut/fill from 5 feet
to 8 feet is proposed by staff to fulfill the following:
o Allow a greater depth of earthwork/grading modifications without discretionary
review and approval by the Planning Commission.
o Allow an increase in retaining wall height from 4 feet to 8without requiring the
approval of a Minor Exception or Variance for discretionary approval by the
Planning Director or Planning Commission, respectively.
In both cases, this would allow for a pad (foundation) to have a lower elevation relative to, and
a lower roofline as seen from, the street. This in turn will help accommodate the proposed
building height of 14 feet (south side) or 25 feet (north side).
Staff does not propose any revision to the front yard building setback of 37±5 feet, i.e., 37 feet as
measured between the front of the house and the curb at the street with a variation of 5 feet (as
high or low as 45 feet and 32 feet, respectively). This is to ensure that the front wall plane of each
house is visibly “articulated” and maintains visual interest along the street frontage. Note that this
variation in the front setback is generally standard for single-family residential development
elsewhere in the City.
Staff also does not propose any revisions to the side yard building setbacks which are currently
5/10 feet, i.e., 5 feet on one side of the house and 10 feet on the opposite side of the house. The
owners on the north side of Camino Predera wanted the side setbacks to be increased to 10/15
feet. Generally, the widths of properties on the south side, as measured at the front property line,
are narrower than the corresponding widths of the properties on the north side as explained below
(note that the following dimensions do not include the lots within Predera Court - these lots are
unusually narrow as they “front” onto a cul-de-sac street).
The narrowest lot on Camino Predera is 61.8 feet wide (APN: 0207-641-06, Lot 6). In comparison,
the average lot width is 90.26 feet. The average width of the developed lots (mostly on the north
side) and undeveloped lots (mostly on the south side) is 106.83 feet and 75.64 feet, respectively.
Applying increased side setbacks would create practical and aesthetic challenges for the owners
on the south side. For example, to construct houses using these side setbacks the proposed
house would be relatively “narrow”. Lot 6 would have a house of 36.8 feet in width. In the
meantime, the fascia of the house that would be part of the “living” area, i.e., not the garage,
would have a width of only 16.8 feet. The dominant feature as seen from the street would be the
garage door (which is typically 16 feet wide by 7 feet high).
Under Senate Bill 330 (SB330), that was approved by the State on October 19, 2019, “affected
cities...may not change their General Plan or Specific Plan(s) land use designation or Zoning Map
for any parcel to a less intensive use below that which was allowed on January 1, 2018, per
Government Code Subsection 66300(b)(1)(A). For these purposes, “less intensive use” explicitly
includes “reductions to height, density, or floor area ratio, new or increased open space or
lot size requirements, or new or increased setback requirements, minimum frontage
requirements, or maximum lot coverage limitations, or anything that would lessen the
intensity of housing” [emphasis added]. In addition, affected cities...may not revise the allowed
intensity of use in any existing General Plan or Specific Plan(s) land use designation, or Zoning
Map district below that which was allowed on January 1, 2018. This section effectively prohibits
affected cities...from making changes to development standards for zoning districts that allow
Page 122
Page 11

8
housing. The caveat is that an affected city...will not be limited by these provisions if it
“concurrently changes the development standards, policies, and conditions applicable to other
parcels within the jurisdiction to ensure that there is no net loss in residential capacity” per
Government Code Subsection 66300(i)(1).
In the analysis of SB330 and how it applies to the proposed Code amendment, it was determined
that the City cannot adopt any new development standards as requirements that would be
specifically applicable to residential structures such as height and setbacks. These can only be
provided as optional standards. To do so otherwise would be inconsistent with SB330, as
changes to building height or setback can reduce the intensity, or size of the future dwelling
unit. This determination was made while conferring with the City Attorney’s office during the
preparation of the staff report for Planning Commission, finalizing the proposed standards, and
checking their applicability within the context of State-adopted legislation that is currently in
effect.
Therefore, the proposed optional standards are as shown in Table 2 below. If an owner prefers
to follow the Optional Standards, then they will not be required to submit a HDR application (as
typically would be required for development in the Hillside Overlay). Instead, they would be
allowed to submit construction plans for the proposal directly to the Building & Safety Department
for ministerial plan check. Similarly, a review by the Design Review Committee would not be
required nor would the applicant be asked to conduct a neighborhood meeting. This will save
applicants time and money in the development review process while utilizing the optional
standards to address concerns about the character of development in Camino Predera and the
City’s review process for development proposals are expressed by the owners in Camino
Predera.
If an owner prefers not to follow the Optional Standards, then they will be required to submit a
HDR application and follow the procedural steps for HDR as described previously in this report.
Table 2 - Proposed Optional Development Standards for Camino Predera

To apply the optional development standards, staff is proposing to establish a new Overlay Zoning
District called the “Camino Predera Overlay”. This new Overlay will identify the 38 specific parcels
Page 123

in Camino Predera that would be subject to the new optional development standards. The new
Overlay is shown in Figure 6 below.
Figure 6 - Proposed Camino Predera Overlay Zoning District
Coordinated with the establishment of the new Overlay is a Municipal Code Amendment which
will amend Chapter 17.38 (“Overlay Zoning Districts and other Special Planning Areas”) to add
the purpose, applicability, and optional development standards of the Camino Predera Overlay;
Chapter 17.114.010 (“Special Area Map”) to add the Camino Predera Overlay to Figure
17.114.010-1; and Chapter 17.114.050 (“Overlay Zoning District Descriptions) to add the
description of the Camino Predera Overlay.
General Plan and Municipal Code Consistency: The City is proposing to amend its current
Municipal Code and Zoning Map to incorporate optional development standards and apply them
to a specific location in the City consisting of 38 single-family residential parcels on Camino
Predera and Predera Court. The City prepared the amendments, which are included as
Attachments 1 and 2, to the attached draft City Council Ordinance (Attachment D). The Municipal
Code Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment conform to and do not conflict with the General
Plan, including without limitation, the Land Use Element and Housing Element thereof, and will
provide for development in a manner consistent with the General Plan.
Planning Commission Hearing: On October 12, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a
public hearing for the proposed subject amendments to the Municipal Code and Zoning Map that,
if approved by the City Council, would amend the City’s development standards for the properties
in Camino Predera and create a new overlay district.
After receiving staff’s report and their recommendation, the Commission opened the public
hearing for comments. The Commission received testimony regarding the proposed changes in
the maximum building height and potential changes to the side yard building setbacks, and
whether any changes to the standards were necessary. Also, there were statements about the
loss of views. Some commenters mentioned flexibility with property development options. Lastly,
Page 124
Page 13

clarification and applicability of SB330 was discussed. These collective comments are
summarized in the Minutes for the public hearing (Attachment B).
The Commission closed the public comment period and asked staff to address the comments
received from the community. They also asked staff about the new procedural steps that will
apply when an applicant chooses to follow the optional development standards. Staff addressed
these questions and provided additional clarifications. The answers and clarifications have been
incorporated into this staff report.
The Commission discussed, for example the proposed optional standards, the character of
Camino Predera, and the context of State-adopted legislation. After doing so, the Commission
agreed with staff’s recommendation the City Council the approval of the amendments to the
Municipal Code and Zoning Map.
CEQA DETERMINATION:
The Planning Commission has determined that the amendments to the Municipal Code and
Zoning Map are statutorily exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). The amendments qualify under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects
which have the potential for causing significant effects on the environment. Pursuant to State
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the activity in question may have significant effect on the environment, the activity
is not subject to CEQA. The amendments do not propose any physical change to the environment
itself. The new optional standards do not include an associated development project. The
standards will serve to simplify the process that a property owner needs to follow to construct a
single-family residence on their property on Camino Predera and Predera Court. Any
environmental analysis that may be required for each single-family residence will be conducted
when a proposal is received. Staff notes that the construction of one single-family residence is
typically exempt from CEQA per Section 15303 of the CEQA guidelines. Based on this evidence
and all the evidence in the record, the City Council concurs with the Planning Commission’s
determination that the amendments will not have a significant effect on the environment and are
therefore exempt from further environmental review under CEQA.
FACTS FOR FINDING:
Per Section 17.22.040(C) of the Municipal Code, amendments to the Municipal Code and Zoning
Map “may be approved only when the City Council finds that the amendment[s] are consistent
with the General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs.” These include the following
Land Use and Housing goals:
•Land Use LC-1.2 Quality of Place. “Ensure that new infill development is compatible with
the existing, historic, and envisioned future character and scale of each neighborhood.”
•Land Use LC-1.9: Infill Development. “Enable and encourage infill development within
vacant and underutilized properties through flexible design requirements and potential
incentives.”
•Land Use LC-1.11: Compatible Development. “Allow flexibility in density and intensity to
address specific site conditions and ensure compatibility of new development with
adjacent context.”
•Housing H-5.1: Development Review Processes. “Consider new polices, codes, and
procedures that have the potential to reduce procedural delays, provide information early
Page 125
Page 14
1
5
2
8
in the development process regarding development costs, and charge only those fees
necessary to adequately carry out needed public services and improvements.”
•Housing H-5.4: Development Standards. “Evaluate and adjust as appropriate residential
development standards, regulations, and processing procedures that are determined to
constrain housing development, particularly housing.”
Overall, the standards proposed are designed to minimize impacts to surrounding, existing
residential properties in Camino Predera and ensure that new development is compatible with the
Camino Predera neighborhood and that the character of the neighborhood is preserved. Also,
they represent a balance of the property owners concerns with future development and property
rights.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed amendment itself will not create a fiscal impact, however significant staff and
consultant time has been expended by the city to achieve the proposed amendments. If
applicants choose to exercise the proposed standards, they can reduce application costs and
save time by utilizing a ministerial process, rather than a discretionary process.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
The subject amendments fulfill the City Council goals for providing and nurturing a high quality of
life for all; building and preserving a family-oriented atmosphere; intentionally embracing and
anticipating the future; equitable prosperity for all; working together cooperatively and respectfully
with each other, staff, and all stakeholders; and actively seeking and respectfully considering all
public input. The amendments are consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and
the objectives of the Development Code. These City-initiated amendments to the Municipal Code
and Zoning Map will facilitate development while retaining compatibility and character of the
existing Camino Predera neighborhood.
CORRESPONDENCE:
The subject amendments were advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin
newspaper, vacant properties in Camino Predera were posted, and all owners of property in Tract
10035 and within 660 feet were mailed notifications. During the preparation of the Planning
Commission staff report, staff received correspondence regarding these amendments. Staff also
received correspondence during this overall process, e.g., following one of the workshops. The
correspondence is attached (Attachment 1). Correspondence received after this report is
prepared will be provided accordingly.

Hey Mike,
Hope all is well. Just want to say again that your efforts at the 4th Workshop were appreciated
and we are looking forward to the progress regarding the new standards. We realize it's time
consuming and not easy.
So, we are just checking in to see how things are progressing. We also are prepared to
preview the standards before the last (5th) workshop as was agreed as necessary at the 4th
workshop. Reviewing the revised new standards in advance, prior to Anne's approval will make
the process agreeable and final. The final workshop (#5) will allow all the other stakeholders to
view the changes and be satisfied. We are all looking forward to when this will finally be
resolved.
In the meantime, stay well.

Mike,
I want to make sure that my comments about the height of the homes on Camino Predera were
captured. I believe that the 10 feet is the maximum that this street can tolerate to s ll allow for view
sharing with those on the North side and above.
Again, thanks for listening.

Subject: Camino Predera
Mike,
I would like my comments added to the Public Record concerning Camino Predera Hillside Development
Standards.
We (my husband Robert Eric Weber and I, Catherine M. Weber) are very concerned about the proposed
side setbacks of 5/10 feet. We believe that these lots are large enough to have 10/15 - the size the
Patel's proposed in their plans that were approved by the Planning Commission. This will greatly affect
our home if the lot to the east of us is developed. The plans that were submi ed by the lot owner had a
3-car garage directly to the east of us with only 5 feet from our front yard. The development of these
mansions on both sides of us dwarf our home. The homes should be in line with the size of the homes
that exist today.
Thank you for the opportunity to express our views. Please feel free to contact me if you have any
ques ons.

Dear Michael Smith,
First and foremost, I want to thank you for your time and professionalism at Thursday night workshop.
My name is Sofia Vega, my husband and I purchased Tract #10035, Lot 13 on the South Side of Camino
Predera. I am writing to respectfully request consideration of the building height (currently 30’ max)
Issues of high concern are the following:
Conceding to a 30-foot height down to a 14-foot height has already been excessive. I strongly
disagree in reducing the height any further, adding unnecessary building construction cost to
people in the south side.
Soil Disturbance / Higher Cost
Minimizing soil disturbance should be kept to a minimum to minimize risks and preserve native top soil.
Working with the natural contours of the site. If we are required to drop the site even more, we will
need a deeper foundation (excessive excavation/grading) and larger retaining walls, resulting in
incurring a higher cost. This will lead to a financial hardship for many of us on the south side.
Flat Roof
Due to the possible height restrictions, some of us will have no alternative but to build a flat roof. A flat
roof has an average lifespan of only 10 years and is susceptible to water damage, resulting in higher cost
for all.
Water Damage and Drainage
Building on a lower spot means that water is more likely to drain toward a home. This will lead to a
lifetime problem for the homeowners. Our most crucial and concerning issue is water damage and
drainage. Water is often the most difficult site issue to understand and predict. Surface water,
including runoff from rain can cause flood and water damage to the property.
Side Setbacks to remain at 5/10
Allowing to maximize the square footage in width, helps keep cost down by minimizing building further
back and down the slope.
It will be shameful to force the south side to incur all the added cost. If these new demands are
enforced, my family and I will unfortunately need to reconsider our building plans or selling the lot due
to the greater cost we will incur. I ask you to please carefully consider our concerns as your decision will
determine critical outcomes for many people on the south side.
Respectfully,
Sophia Vega

Mr. Mike Smith and Mr. Tabe VanderZwagg,
We are wri ng to you concerning the street we live on, Camino Predera. We are specifically concerned about the
proposed Hillside Standards and would like to express our thoughts on the standards that are being proposed.
We believe that the height of these homes is concerning for those on the south side and the north side. The
homes have always been ered so that view sharing was available as evidenced by the homes on Red Hill Country
Club Drive above Camino Predera. As an owner on the south side I love walking up the street to see the
view. With these developers building mansions and 3 story homes it is impossible to enjoy the view. That is why
we believe that the homes should be limited to 10 feet. There are many other lots available throughout Rancho
Cucamonga where these types of homes should be built and fit in be er, ul mately this is not the appropriate
neighborhood.
Addi onally, there are homes that are being proposed that have only 5 feet side setbacks. This is outrageous. This
does not emulate the current community. This community is not your typical track housing development where
you can reach out and touch your neighbor. It appears that these developers are a emp ng to build on every
square inch of the lots with such small side setbacks as to be negligible. There is a house proposed to the west of
our home that proposes exactly that. Which is why we believe that the side setbacks should be at 10/15 feet,
and echo the current trend.
Without some protec on from the standards, the developers will make Camino Predera just another
neighborhood with windows that must be kept closed because the neighbors are so close. We are asking that
you please stand with the homeowners and help preserve and maintain our community. To many of us that live
on neighborhoods where hills make it difficult to maintain maximum privacy due to the geography, we are
desperately asking that you don’t take away even more of our privacy by allowing these builders to have these
absurd setbacks.
Sincerely,
Lisa and Chris an Agraso

Mike:
Thanks again to you and Tabe for your time with the neighborhood Thursday evening for discussion of
various draft Camino Predera Development Standards. As an initial follow up to this latest workshop, I
have attached the draft Technical Standards for Development on Camino Predera document that I
shared with you and attendees at the meeting and as per your request.
As discussed at this most recent workshop, the handout you provided was not consistent with the
prior exhibits and understanding of the neighborhood representatives for a number of items as listed
on your handout. Regrettably, we spent the vast majority of the allotted one hour meeting time
discussing the 14' height limit listed on your handout, which is the key concern as relates to view
sharing for this neighborhood as it has been a consistent design for the majority of the Red Hill
viewshed hillside areas. I will follow up with providing comments addressing the various draft Special
Technical and Special Design criteria listed on your handout and prior iterations to help with
clarification as may be needed concerning these draft development standards. I believe it very
important to identify those draft Special Technical and Design criteria items listed where there is
general consensus, versus those items simply opposed by those who want to develop and sell the lots.
I also found it most interesting to hear our newest property owner who purchased the former Bardos
lot using the term "share" several times during comments offering her objection to any limitation on
the height of her future home built on the lot. The "not building in a hole" comment has likely been
shared by one of the development proponents, and as I stated, the roadway was cut across the side of
an existing natural hillside, and no "holes" were created during the roadway grading and construction.
Red Hill has a view share precedent that has been established over the many years of government
control of the viewshed hillside areas, and any indication that the City does not have a view protection
ordinance appears disingenuous in recognizing what has been an established pattern of view sharing
development well predating the City's Hillside Ordinance which requires development that respects
the natural terrain and use of reduced building profiles that follow the contours of the natural hillside
areas. Thanks for your help with this.

Hey Mike,
Thanks again for organizing and leading the discussion at last weeks workshop (3/17/22). It
would be unusual to have consensus on ALL the items on the proposed standards, but I think
it's pretty good that there are only a few points where we cannot agree. I do believe we all
agreed though to include the previous Garage Doors and Garage Dimensions sections that
did not appear on the most current DRAFT.
So, for the record, Lynn and I believe:
1. The building height on the South side of Camino Predera should be <10 feet. This would be
consistent with the Danny Dera project (Lot 3) and with the Semler/Adams project (Lot 4,
currently under construction). This would also be consistent with the Bardo's project (Lot 13)
which was just under 10 feet but was not recommended for approval by the planning staff due
to other reasons including side setback recommendations, and subsequently not approved by
the Planning Commission.
Due to the nature of the hillside and the history of this particular area, the <10 feet maximum
would allow for view sharing with those on the North side of Camino Predera and the homes
above on Red Hill CC Drive.
2. The Side Setbacks should be a minimum of 10/15 feet. This would be consistent with the
Danny Dera project (Lot 3), the Patel project (Lot 16), and the Semler/Adams project (Lot 4,
currently under construction). This would also be consistent with the Bardo's project (Lot 13)
which was not recommended for approval by the planning staff who recommended the side
setbacks be increased to 10/15 feet. The recommendations were not applied and the Planning
Commission subsequently denied the project.
3. The Front Setbacks should be a minimum of 37 feet. Currently, it states 37 plus/minus 5
feet. I understand the plus/minus is "in the code" however, code items are changed and
adjusted often. Thirty-two feet from curb is essentially twenty feet from sidewalk to the closest
building wall plane on the front elevation. We don't believe that is appropriate for single family
residences. It's too close.
As a matter of record, it is also important to note that over the years, Planning Commissioners
and Councilmembers alike have recognized this area to be one of Rancho Cucamonga's
special gems and have expressed that the code be adjusted for this specific area.

Michael, I am okay with these changes except for the top of curb height of 14' on the south side of
camino predera. This height is far too low for a standard home. This is a custom area where the
typically top plate height should be a min. of 10' which would not allow for a standard roof pitch. The
maximum top of curb height should be 22' which is a 8' decrease from the existing standards which is
more than reasonable. Having too low of a building height will make the rest of the block look very
awkward and will diminish the value of the community. Please include this as a comment for public
records.
Thank you for your time.

Good morning, Michael.
Thank you for allowing us to par cipate in the discussion related to development codes for the Camino Predera
lots. We have owned our property at 8072 Camino Predera since 1996 and all of us in this neighborhood
purchased our property because of the view and beau ful hillside landscape. Please consider our concerns below
and add it as part of your recommenda ons to the Planning Commi ee for approval.
Everyone should be aware that building a house in a flat, deserted area is much different than building a house on
a hillside. Our community is figh ng to preserve the natural contour and environmental landforms that makes
our loca on a highly desirable place to live. Everyone who’s planning to develop new housing projects within our
community should be sensi ve to preserving the local views of our environment. The designs for all new projects
should conform with the landform rather than adjus ng the landform to fit the house, such as filling the lots with
dirt to raise their eleva on to increase their views. Also, please observe that all the plans being presented to the
city are just empty shells. A er the building is completed, these owners will start plan ng trees which will further
diminish our views.
Our mee ng on 3/17/22 is a clear indica on that there’s a great divide on ideas between the exis ng
homeowners and those who wish to build their new homes. In all our mee ngs, it is clear that the conten ons
are about the building height and setbacks for lots 10 through 16. I’m now wondering if we should allow different
codes for these lots as opposed to the steep hillside lots on lots 1 through 9. I don’t believe there are any exis ng
conten ons on these lots right now and therefore proposing we finalize those codes for those lots separate from
the exis ng highly contested lots. I’m proposing that we follow the design codes implemented south of Red Hill
Country Club Drive and north of Camino Predera as it is a great precedent for the steep hillside proper es. The
loca on I’m referring to are 8535 to 8559 Red Hill Country Club Drive wherein the building height was set at no
more than approximately 8 . I have a ached pictures of the proper es for your reference.
I’m also a aching pictures of our sideyard and the vacant lot next to us. You will note that the builder of our
property excavated several feet of dirt to insure my neighbors in the back do not lose their views. I’m also
a aching addi onal photos of our backyard to show the result of this design in rela on to insuring our neighbor ’s
view is not obstructed. If the new owners are willing to work with us, I’m sure there’s a way to make this a win-
win for everyone. Unfortunately, what I o en hear from the new lot owners is “I can’t” live with the building
height as opposed to finding a way to ensure that all our concerns are understood and respected.
Thank you for taking the me to insure our concerns are noted and please help us preserve our re rement homes
for us to enjoy the view and landscape.
Sincerely,
Tom and Alona Reyes

Good Afternoon Mike;
As I tried to briefly recap on Thursday for our new Neighbor Sophia, so that she would have a bit of context other
than what she has heard from the development side of the street, we have been standing up for 20 + years to try
and stop more McMansions from going in.
It simply makes no sense to have anything higher than 8 or 9 feet as that just wipes everything out for most of the
original older homes that were here first. That said, I would be willing to compromise on the under 10 feet just to be
able to move on from Adams and Patel's nastiness and bullying. In spite of Mrs. Adams spin, facts do matter.
As it is 10' would essentially wipe out our view. Anything higher is simply going to wipe out what is left of view
sharing for any of us who have been here since the beginning and are not in it for profit, unlike the folks who want no
rules.
As these are going to be custom homes and in consideration of our unique neighborhood, and all the walkers and
people who live in this area and enjoy the views, 10 and 15 minimum side yard setbacks are the only common sense
thing that will also offer any hope of a view share for us and the existing neighbors. We don't need more rooftops and
blue skies.
We love our City and would at least like to see a bit of it here and there in our own neighborhood.
Thanks for your help as always,
Best,
Suzanne Buquet

Mike, I appreciate you and Tabe taking the me and interest in our concerns of the future developments on
Camino Predera. At last Thursdays mee ng, most of the me was taken up over the view height standards. I, like
most all of the residents on the north side, proposed a height limit much less than the 14' specified on the
proposal sheet. We ranged from 8'to below 10' from curb to top of the project. I have a ached a photo of the
Adams home in progress of being built from the UPPER level of our home at 8080 Camino Predera. It is not
completed yet and Mr. Adams tells us that the roof construc on will be a flat roof and could add about 2'more in
height to the overall height from the curb. The plan calls for, I believe, about 9' although we would like to have
seen an even lower height . As you can see by the picture, that if the 14'rule was adopted it would eliminate all
but the sky. I say this also, because there are more lots to be built adjacent to this one to the east. I hope this
gives you all a be er perspec ve as to why we are so concerned. Thank you for your considera on.

Hello Mike-
Thank you for all of your time and organization at the workshop on Thursday night.
There are a few key points that I would like added to the record.
I really hope that there is a way to get a set of standards that will keep everyone content.
1- The Building Height Maximum should be LESS THAN 10 feet. For the south side
2-The Side Setbacks should be set at 10/15 feet.
Another thing that I feel could help avoid the conflict and the appeals would be a case case by case or lot by
lot collaboration. After a few standards are modified. This would be helpful to the neighbors. The New Build
and the City Council could possibly help reduce the delays...
I would also like to see if I could view the plan in review for the Last Empty Lot on the Northside of Camino
Predera.
"Tave" mentioned that he would email it over to me.
Thanks again for your valued time in these matters

Hi Michael,
Just got your notice on my property. I hope this meeting is good
news, as I have been waiting about 2 years to start building. My
Neighbor, next to me, bought is 6 months prior to my purchase was
able to build with finish date end of 2022..but his process also
dragged on and on.
I hope to be a resident of Rancho within 2023. If I can offer anything
to get the plan approve, let me know.

Motion carried unanimously 5-0.
D.Public Hearings
D1. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT MODIFICATION -STOR'EM SELF STORAGE - A request to modify
an existing Conditional Use Permit to allow outdoor recreational vehicle and indoor personal storage
at an existing 123,577 square foot recreational vehicle storage facility located within the Neo-Industrial
(NI) Zone at 8530 Hellman Avenue and 9292 9th Street: APNs—0209-012-07 and 0209-012-06. This
item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section
15301—Existing Facilities
Mena Abdul-Ahad, Assistant Planner, presented Commissioners with a Staff Report and
presentation (copy on file).
Mena Abdul-Ahad mentioned the applicant is requesting to add personal self-storage to the
exiting Conditional Use Permit and has also secured a lease agreement with the adjacent

Draft
No comments from the Public, Chair Dopp closed Public Hearing.
Commissioner Boling asked for clarification in the special conditions stating there is nothing that
identifies the expanded use to include the leased space. Asked is it sufficient to have it only
referenced in the Resolution that is being proposing tonight.
Serita Young, Assistant City Attorney, stated for clarity it will be added to the initial condition.
Commissioner Boling wanted to confirm and said from a public safety perspective (Fire and
PD), any standard conditions from those entities that would apply to any new applicant for a
similar situated outdoor storage facility also applies to the expanded use area. For the record,
those standard conditions would be used for this expanded use, so there is no disparity on how
we are treating this additional use as opposed to a new application to do the same type of
business.
Jennifer Nakamura, Deputy Director of Planning, assured him that any and all regulations are
met as part of the Fire Prevention Departments regular inspection process.
Commissioner Daniels asked would Fire and PD typically look at the site when a new business
license is issued.
Jennifer Nakamura replied that yes and said it would typically generate a fire inspection but
when we confirmed with Fire that they did not have an inspection on record, that is why we
added this condition to assure it would take place in a reasonable timeframe to make sure there
are no issues.
Commissioners Daniels stated for the record. he does have a recreational vehicle at this storage
facility and indicated he does not have any financial conflict of interest.
Chair Dopp asking for a motion to modify special condition #1 to update and add the additional
leased space storage area to the approval.
Motion to adopt Resolution 22-27 by Commissioner Boling, second by Commissioner Morales.
Motion carried unanimously 5-0 vote. In addition to staff’s recommended changes.
D2. MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT DRC2020-00004 AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENT DRC2022-
00315 – CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA – Consideration of a proposal to amend Title 17 of the
Municipal Code to incorporate new development standards related to, for example, structure height,
modifications to existing topographical conditions, and the City’s application

south sides of Camino Predera and all properties that have street frontage along Predera Court, a
residential neighborhood generally located north of Foothill Boulevard/Pacific Electric (PE) Trail and
west of Carnelian Avenue/Cucamonga Creek, in the Low Residential (L) Zone and amend the Zoning
Map to establish an overlay zoning district (“Camino Predera Overlay”) that identifies which
properties are subject to the new development standards; APNs: 0207-631-01 through -11 and -14
through -25, and 0207-641-01 through -15. These amendments are exempt from environmental
review pursuant to Section 15161(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines. These items will be forwarded to City Council for final action —A request to modify
Michael Smith, Principal Planner, presented Commissioners with a Staff Report and
presentation (copy on file).

Draft
Chair Dopp opened Public Hearing.
The following residents of Camino Predera expressed structure height concerns:
• Satia Vega
• Catherine Weber
• Eric Weber
• Suzanne Buquet
• Tom Snedeker
• Christopher Nosrad
• Renee Massey, stated for the record, City Council recommended that the proposed house be
reduced by approx. 10%, and side yard setback to be increased to reduce the overall massing
of the house.
• Jay Adams stated the 14 ft. height is doable, and the setbacks make sense.
Jennifer Nakamura stressed the goal and direction from Council from the beginning was to find some
common ground to get property owners along both sides of Camino Predera to find standards they
can agree to. She mentioned staff spent over 2000 hours, as well as an estimated $15,000 in
consultant time to try and see if we can come to some census with the community, was the primary
focus. Once it was recognized we were never going to get to a consensus, staff had to use our
recommendations to the Commission. The State of California has made housing production the
priority in the State forcing local jurisdictions to accommodate. SB330 is one of those laws. As we
were reviewing the standards, we recognized it was going to apply.
Mike Smith reviewed the side yard setbacks requirements with the Commissioners.
Commissioner Daniels asked were there CC&Rs for this tract when it was first developed.
Mike Smith answered yes, but it was binding between the property owners. Not something we
enforced.
Commissioner Daniels stated it was mentioned there are 11 lots on the south side. He asked are
those all-different property owners.
Mike Smith replied that he does know multiple properties are owned by the same family.
Commissioner Boling asked when did the current standards in the Hillside Overlay for the 30 ft. height
maximum and the minimum 5/10 ft. side setbacks come into existence.
Mike Smith responded he cannot say when it was adopted but it has been in existence for at least 20
years.
Commissioner Boling asked what is the average height of a single-story family house.
Mike Smith stated it would vary depending on the roof line but a typical height is 14 ft.
Commissioner Morales asked for explanation if it went down to 10 ft. vs. 14 ft.

HPC/PC MINUTES – October 12, 2022
Page 4 of 6
Draft
Mike Smith replied if we were a single-story house, as they are generally designed, we would have
to excavate deeper into the existing grade. He said 14 ft. is a reasonable height to a typical single-
story home. It is possible it could be 10 ft. but keep in mind these are optional standards because of
SB330, we cannot make it go below the limit that is now in place.
Jennifer Nakamura mentioned the 14 ft. limit is measured from the highest level. Also, to be
considered is the type of slope. She said in our professional opinion, 14 ft. is an appropriate overall
height.
Vice Chair Williams mentioned this is assuming the applicant will chose to take the options. She did
express how pleased she is with this and getting a standard in place was a goal 8 years ago.
However, her concern is they will not choose the option that was set forth and will go with the old
standards and if they do that, the appeal process is alive and well.
Jennifer Nakamura explained the applicant can choose to use the existing standard that are in place,
30 ft. maximum height limit. It would go through a discretionary entitlement hillside design review
process. Required will be a neighborhood meeting, noticing, public hearing, and appeal process is
an option. We can encourage them to bypass the discretionary review process and go straight to a
ministerial review if they do this saving time and money. She said the Planning staff will still do a full
thorough review on that project, absorbing the costs.
Commissioner Williams confirmed and stated if they choose the options we put forward, there is no
appeal process available to the neighborhood. It becomes a ministerial decision.
Chair Dopp asked Serita Young, can somebody make a reasonable argument that reducing the height
by a couple feet and increasing the setbacks by 5 ft., does it really create a less intensive argument.
Can somebody make that argument?
Serita Young replied according to SB330, no.
Commissioner Daniels asked if there were any consensus from the property owners on the south side
what they would like to see.
Mike Smith answered that his impression from workshops from property owners on the south side
wanted the standards to stay the same.
Chair Dopp stated he understands the passion on both sides. He has been the only individual up
here who has been at all the hearings since where things got intense starting from 2019. This is
nothing against anybody in the room, but each side is cherry picking lots as an example of what the
development of Camino Predera can be. As a Planning Commissioner and start to sort things out in
terms of setting strong standard for the neighborhood. It has always been his concern that one size
fits all approach is going to make some people happy or unhappy under certain circumstances. As a
Commission from his standpoint, we almost want all developers on the south side of the street to pick
the optional standards. If you use the requirements it is going to be so much worse. Those are some
of his initial thoughts. To be fair, do we really want Camino Predera to look like every other
neighborhood in the city because it is unique. There is a lot of opportunity for a real community on
Red Hill Country.
Commissioner Daniels stated that staff has been put in a difficult position to satisfy both parties. What
they are proposing is a good solution to the SB330. The existing residents have to realize without
these options anybody can come in and propose a 30 ft. height building. He does believe what will
Page 203
HPC/PC MINUTES – October 12, 2022
Page 5 of 6
Draft
be built there will be very nice. He indicated staff has done a good job coming up with a solution to
this dilemma.
Commissioner Boling stated the City Council and the Planning Commission directed staff to bring the
community together, communicate issues and concerns, identify common ground, compromise where
appropriate, and attempt to reach consensus and after a number of years, after several community
engagement meetings, it appears there are, but a few outstanding issues remain. Unfortunately, a
true agreement is highly unlikely. Staff’s approach is a novel way to encourage new houses to be
built, not required but encouraged to be built with greater difference to the north neighbors and include
some of what they want on the north side without giving up everything that the south side already
has. He is struggling to see the gives on the north side from the current existing standards that apply
to the hillside overlay that exists throughout a good portion of the city. Staff has done it’s best in
navigating a very emotionally charged and heartfelt issue of the effective property owners and he
approves staff’s recommendation.
Commissioner Morales stated there are a lot of strong feeling on both sides after 20 years. That is
why it took 5 workshops to try and align everyone’s interests as much as possible. The 30 ft. height
above the street was reduced down to 14 ft. and that was a big improvement. The 10 ft. height would
make a future developer turn away and go with the 30 ft. height they could get. It also creates
standard development guidelines for future developers, what City Council asked for that started all
this. The 14 ft. height maximum above the street level would be best for the neighborhood character
feeling for both sides of the street and make it look better.
Vice Chair Williams concurs with her colleagues. The optional method is attractive enough to
encourage people to use that. She hates to think there is a chance for more appeals. She does like
having the optional set of standards and hopes staff will encourage people to take the option and help
them along the way as much as they can.
Chair Dopp expressed he is not happy with Sacramento telling us and putting our hands behind our
back on this one to a large extent. He would like to have seen a foot or two on the setback and the
height. It is what it is at this point.
Motion to adopt Resolution 22-28 recommending approval to the City Council by Commissioner
Boling, second by Commissioner Daniels. Motion carried unanimously 5-0 vote.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND ADOPTING ZONING MAP
AMENDMENT DRC2022-000315 THAT WILL APPLY TO ALL
PROPERTIES LOCATED ALONG CAMINO PREDERA AND
PREDERA COURT, A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD
GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF FOOTHILL
BOULEVARD/PACIFIC ELECTRIC (PE) TRAIL AND WEST OF
CARNELIAN AVENUE/CUCAMONGA CREEK, IN THE LOW
RESIDENTIAL (L) ZONE; APNS: 0207-631-01 THROUGH -11
AND -14 THROUGH -25, AND 0207-641-01 THROUGH -15.
THESE AMENDMENTS ARE EXEMPT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEW PURSUANT TO SECTION 15161(B)(3) OF THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
GUIDELINES
A.Recitals.
1.The City of Rancho Cucamonga is proposing to amend existing development
standards by creating optional standards that would apply to the development of new, and
modifications to existing, single-family residences, and similar related structures, on thirty-eight
(38) vacant or improved properties located along Camino Predera and Camino Court (collectively,
Tract 10035). In addition, the City proposes to create an overlay that identifies these properties
along Camino Predera and Camino Court subject to the new optional development standards.
2.The City is proposing to amend Title 17 of the Municipal Code and Zoning Map for
these properties that will be subject to these amendments. The City has prepared two
amendments for this purpose consisting of Municipal Code Amendment DRC2020-00004 and
Zoning Map Amendment DRC2022-00315 as described in the title of this Ordinance (hereafter
referred to as “Amendments”).
3.As shown in Attachments “A” and “B”, the Amendments propose to amend Title 17
of the Municipal Code to establish new optional development standards and the Zoning Map to
incorporate them into a new Zoning Overlay (hereafter “Camino Predera Overlay”), respectively.
4. On October 12, 2022, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a noticed public hearing on the Amendments and concluded said hearing on that date.
5. On November 2, 2022, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing
on the Amendments, and all interested persons were given an opportunity to present oral and
written evidence regarding the Amendments and concluded said hearing on that date.
6.All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
B.Ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and ordained by the City Council of
the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
Attachment 4
Page 209
1. Recitals. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in
the Recitals, Part A, of this Ordinance are true and correct.
2. Findings. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the City Council
during the above-referenced public hearing on November 16, 2022, including written and oral staff
reports, together with public testimony, the City Council hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. Per Section 17.22.040(C) of the Municipal Code, amendments to the
Municipal Code and Zoning Map “may be approved only when the City Council finds that the
amendment[s] are consistent with the General Plan goals, policies, and implementation
programs.” These include the following Land Use and Housing goals:
• Land Use LC-1.2 Quality of Place. “Ensure that new infill development is
compatible with the existing, historic, and envisioned future character and
scale of each neighborhood.”
• Land Use LC-1.9: Infill Development. “Enable and encourage infill
development within vacant and underutilized properties through flexible design
requirements and potential incentives.”
• Land Use LC-1.11: Compatible Development. “Allow flexibility in density and
intensity to address specific site conditions and ensure compatibility of new
development with adjacent context.”
• Housing H-5.1: Development Review Processes. “Consider new polices,
codes, and procedures that have the potential to reduce procedural delays,
provide information early in the development process regarding development
costs, and charge only those fees necessary to adequately carry out needed
public services and improvements.”
• Housing H-5.4: Development Standards. “Evaluate and adjust as appropriate
residential development standards, regulations, and processing procedures
that are determined to constrain housing development, particularly housing.”
b. The Amendments identified herein have been processed, including, but not
limited to, public notice, in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law, including the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
c. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the
City’s local CEQA Guidelines, these Amendments are exempt from environmental review
pursuant to Section 15161(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
The proposed Amendments would not substantially increase the severity of effects relative to the
environmental topics analyzed in the Certified EIR for the City’s General Plan, nor would the
project require new mitigation measures or alternatives. Based on this evidence and all the
evidence in the record, the City Council concurs with the Planning Commission and Planning
Department staff’s determination that the Amendments will not have a significant effect on the
environment and that the Amendments are exempt from environmental review. The City Council
has considered the proposed exemption as described in the related staff report and oral reports
related to the Amendments provided to the City Council by staff.
d. The Amendments are consistent with the direction, 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.
Page 210
e. The Amendments do not conflict with the policies and provisions of the
current General Plan or the Hillside Overlay. The subject properties are not within any Planned
Community, Specific Plan, and/or Master Plan.
f. The City Council finds that the Amendments serve the important purpose
of providing sufficient development standards that will apply to single-family residential
development on thirty-eight (38) vacant and developed properties located along Camino Predera
and Predera Court (Tract 10035). The City Council further finds that establishing new optional
development standards and the Camino Predera Overlay protects the public health, safety, and
welfare.
g. The findings set forth in this Ordinance reflect the independent judgment of
the City Council.
3. Determination on Municipal Code Amendment DRC2020-00004. Based on the
findings set forth in this Ordinance and the totality of the administrative record before it, the City
Council hereby approves Municipal Code Amendment DRC2020-00004 set forth in Attachment
“A”, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
4. The City Council hereby amends the Municipal Code as follows: Chapter 17.38
(“Overlay Zoning Districts and other Special Planning Areas”) to add the purpose, applicability,
and optional development standards of the Camino Predera Overlay; Chapter 17.114.010
(“Special Area Map”) to add the Camino Predera Overlay to Figure 17.114.010-1; and Chapter
17.114.050 (“Overlay Zoning District Descriptions) to add the description of the Camino Predera
Overlay as shown in Attachment “A”.
5. Determination on Zoning Map Amendment DRC2022-00315. Based on the
findings set forth in this Ordinance and the totality of the administrative record before it, the City
Council hereby approves Zoning Map Amendment DRC202-00315 as set forth in Attachment “B”,
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
6. The City Council hereby amends the Zoning Map. The parcels that are subject to
the amendment are parcels identified by APNs: 0207-631-01 through -11 and -14 through -25,
and 0207-641-01 through -15. For reference purposes, a list of the parcels affected by Zoning
Map Amendment DRC2022-00315 is also included in Attachment “B”.
7. The City Council declares that, should any section, subsection, subdivision,
sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance for any reason is held to be invalid or
unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not
affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares
that it would have adopted this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence,
clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections,
subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.

Subject: New Development Standards for Camino Predera
CAUTION: This email is from outside our Corporate network. Do not click links or open attachments
unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Mayor Michael, Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy and Council Members Scott and Hutchison,
Wednesday, November 2nd, will be a public hearing where this council will be deciding
to approve, deny or amend the recommendation from staff and therefore the Planning
Commissions recommendation for approval to council for final action.
For the record, I believe any action should be postponed until the new member of the
City Council that represents District 1 is seated. We will have NO representation that
night if this matter is continued. I did contact John Gillison regarding this point but he
concluded that Council can make that decision on Wednesday. I agree, but thought it
would save everyone some time since I'm sure you all agree that representation is
important. After all, that is what our country is about...representation.
As you all know, our neighborhood has been working, in good faith, with the city over
twenty years to bring reasonable changes to the last of the lots in Red Hill on Camino
Predera.
After 5 workshops, many neighborhood meetings, DRC, PC, CC meeting and
appeals...it all came down to one PC meeting where, all of a sudden, staff
presented a three year old Senate Bill that has never been mentioned in ANY
workshops, discussions and/or meetings with staff members. Communication from
staff has been non existent since the 5th Workshop, even though I have reached out a
few times (see attached). I believed we had a good working relationship, as was
encouraged by both the Planning Commissioners and of course this Council, to come
up with a plan for the remaining lots that would be consistent with t he hillside homes
from Red Hill CC Drive south to Camino Predera. The tiered homes are tiered
BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANT SLOPES which also creates one of the most
amazing neighborhood communities in Rancho Cucamonga.
And now, the Planning Commission is forwarding this recommendation for approval.
Page 216
I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with the direction that this effort has taken and the
recommendation that staff has prepared.
Lynn and I will be attending the meeting on the 2nd along with our neighborhood ho me
owners, and will be encouraging you to amend Staffs recommendation to a maximum
height of 10ft. with side setbacks at 10/15ft to prevent crowding.
Remember...the 4 previous projects that have been either approved or denied by Staff,
PC and CC have all met this criteria (Lot 16 - approved at height 14ft but side setbacks
at 10/15ft, Lot 13 - denied even though height was at 10ft but side setbacks were 5/10ft
and Staff and PC recommended 10/15ft, Lot 4 -approved. Height is at 9.4ft and side
setbacks are at 10/15ft, and Lot 3 - approved. Height is at 1ft with side setbacks at
10/15ft.)
Because the city has established precedent...we recommend the Council amend Staffs
recommendation.
Feel free to respond or call me. I would love to hear from you.
See you on the 2nd.

Subject: City Council Nov 2 Muni Code
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members;
Forgive me in advance as this is a bit long, but every word is important. As
you know, we have lived in this Community for decades and in our beloved
home, which we purchased in 1998, and this home is part of the original 38
lots in the 10035 Tract.
We love this Community and have stepped up many times over the years
to be a part of the solution with both time on Committees and money to
help make Rancho Cucamonga the great City it is. As such, I am beyond
disappointed that 20+ years of our time and efforts have resulted in nothing
but broken promises by the City to protect the last view vista in Red Hill.
Back in July of 2004, the then City Council upheld the appeal that Lynn &
Renee filed on the former Stachowiak home, Lot 12 ( and then it was
purchased and built by the Adams Building Company who along purchased
lot 10 and 11). Diane Williams, who was then on the City Council, even
stated that she was concerned that house would set the standard and
guess what it did, and yet you’re considering allowing homes to be even
larger.
I do not doubt that staff is tired of this after 20-plus years and you know
what, so are we. But it appears we have come full circle and not in a good
way. I feel we have been totally gaslighted. I am simply at a loss as to how
the SB 330 that the City has been fully aware of since 2018, even applies
to this situation since it seems to be directed at development projects and
low-income ones at that. Why suddenly is it being trotted out and being
touted as the City has its hands tied, and thus can’t reduce density or
intensity? WHAT!!

Subject: Building heights and set-backs on Camino Predera
CAUTION: This email is from outside our Corporate network. Do not click links or open attachments
unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Dear Mayor and Council members, My wife and I [James and Renee Scott] live at 8054 Camino
Predera. We have attended several neighborhood workshops and a couple of the planning dept.
meetings. We are very concerned about the building height and set backs of the planning
commission's recommendation. This is such an incredible community, and we would very much
like to see that it maintains its fantastic views and neighborhood goodwill. When we first moved
here over six years ago, we were not planning to stay long, frankly, because of the political
environment in california. But since then, we have come to love our neighborhood, our house
with incredible views, and the city of Rancho Cucamonga as well. We also have property up off
of Snowdrop Rd. and are considering building on that parcel. Needless to say, we are pro
development. But development must have consideration of current home owners. We believe
that in consideration of how the slope falls-off on the southside of Camino Predera and to keep
a number of current homeowners relatively content, a building height of 10 Ft. from curb would
be warranted and certainly not higher than 12 ft.. Side set-backs of no less than 10 ft. would also
improve the look of future developments. We love our community and hope that you will give
our thoughts consideration in your upcoming meeting. Looking forward to seeing you on
Wednesday, respectfully, James and Renee Scott
Page 219
Yet Planning now has “optional standards” to be able to rush the
development crowd thru the process? And come to find out this is the
ONLY street in the City to be able to rush thru this process and not even
have to submit for Design Review or have to comply with the City Hillside
Ordinance requirements. Again WHAT!
While I appreciate Staff’s efforts regarding the Community Meetings, to
expect or even consider that those who live in and love our unique Red Hill
Community could come to a mutual agreement with those who want to
build Mc Mansions, with view capture for profit, is certainly a serious
misunderstanding of human nature and the capacity for greed.
We want neighbors but not at the cost of wiping out the last remaining lots
with more massive structures which is what is going to happen with the
minimal side yard set backs of 5 and 10 and 14 feet homes. The last
remaining lots are NOTa one-size-fits all even under the low residential
guidelines.
These are very generous-sized lots and really could have been zoned (VL),
very low residential which would be an automatic 10 and 15 side yard set
back with 25% lot coverage. Most of these lots are double the size of 7,200
sq feet and much closer to or exceed the 20,000 VL lot area guidelines.
Seriously, if ONE developer was building on these last 14 lots, would we be
expected to negotiate with them to try and preserve a bit of what makes our
neighborhood special?
And despite the claims, the majority of the lots at issue are owned by
people who only want to build and sell at a premium and could care less
about the neighborhood only profit, and planning just handed them a huge
Golden Ticket.
While I appreciate the creativity in providing “Optional Standards, have any
of you really looked at those lots? Every single lot is unique and honestly,
one or two may not even be buildable.
Allowing Planning to throw out the current protections via the Hillside
Guidelines, you’re giving people a free pass to build more Mc Mansions, and
only now, you’re making it Building and Safety’s problem, which is exactly
what started the problem in 2003 in our neighborhood.
Page 220
And while you may not be familiar with the plan check process, I am. On a
typical Design Review submittal, if planning misses pertinent information
during their 30-day Design Review Process, how much will you think will be
missed when their plan check deadline is 10 days and then 5 days? What if
the house comes in looking like Disneyland and is purple? These Optional
Standards are a disaster in the making, and rewards the developers by
fast-tracking their project with minimal review and totally miss the point of
compatibility with the remaining Red Hill lots.
While we certainly never expected to have view capture, view sharing is
certainly possible, and 10 and 15 side yard setbacks will at least help with
that opportunity. Not only for the current stakeholders who have to live
here and plan to continue to live here but ALL the residents who walk and
bike daily on this last unique vista in Red Hill.
Staffs comments on page 43 of the Planning Commission Agenda may
suggest that 14 feet and 5 and 10 allow for an inviting character where
houses along both sides “frame and have an aesthetic appeal” this makes
our street like any other 7,200 S.F. lot in any part of the city. And it’s
simply NOT like any other street in the City. While it sounds nice, it is fluff
and not reality. This is not 4 to an acre zoning where 5 and 10 is typical,
this really should have been rezoned to very low residential zoning and 10
and 15 should be the normal setbacks. All the walkers, riders and people
who enjoy our beautiful area will be looking a wall of homes. Please
remember that this is the LAST vista in Red Hill, which, if approved, will be
just a wall of more Mc Mansions. You all saw the rendering that the City
provided showing what 14 feet of homes up the street would look like and I
think it's shameful that anyone would think that is acceptable for the last
vista in Red hill.
You may remember that in 2019, lot 13, Mr. Bardo’s lot was denied due to
massing and 5 and 10-yard setback by THIS City Council and that home
was under 10 feet, so where is the logic in this?
How do you throw out the Hillside Standards, which are in place for a
reason and put properties at risk by not providing a grading and drainage
plan with the slopes that are out there? These lots are certainly not typical
or average cookie cutter 7,200 square foot lots.
Page 221
The sheer size of these lots allow for a LOT of flexibility for unique homes
that fit the Hillside contours. Where are there any checks and balances
with a Golden Ticket?
I respectfully urge you to deny this “alleged solution” (which seems a lot
more like making the pesky neighbors go away), or at a minimum, at least
reduce the building heights to be under 10 feet and the 10 and 15 side
yards so we can still maintain a bit of what makes this street special for
everyone.
Please, no Golden Tickets for Mc Mansions which planning allowed to
happen so many years ago. And it seems very strange as to why this
seems to be on the fast track and being rushed through with no heads up
or communication from planning that this was scheduled for the November
Planning Commission until the summons in the mail. And this is now being
rushed to City Council this Wednesday....
Respectfully,
Suzanne Buquet

Council Member Ryan Hutchison,
Firstly, I hope you are well.
I am reaching out to you today regarding this Wednesday's Council meeting.
I am IMPLORING you to postpone item (Gl) on the agenda until a representative can be elected and seated on the
Council to represent our District 1. That person will be our voice, a voice we desperately need as we near a decision on
our LONG twenty-two year journey with the city regarding building on Camino Predera. It will also give us time to study
SB330 which at this point does not seem to apply to this area. This law has been in effect almost three years and not
once has staff presented it at any meetings.
Here's what I pray for on Wednesday:
1)For a postponement...OR ...
2)Amend the "optional standards" to read the maximum height at 10ft and side setbacks at 10/lSft.
Since 2019, there have been four projects that have come before the city on these south lots and there is precedent for
our request. See the following:
Lot 4 -This project was approved in 2019 with a height at curb under 10ft with side setbacks at 10/15ft.
Lot 3 -Danny Dera Project was approved by PC on 3/13/2019 with no objections. The residence is . 7 feet below
the street curb and has side setbacks greater than 10/15ft.
Lot 13 -Bardo's project had a maximum height at curb of 10.5 ft with side setbacks at 5/lOft. Staff did not
recommend approval. Planning Commission denied project. Mr. Bardos appealed to Council who offered to
approve his project that night if he would increase his setbacks to 10/15/t as recommended by staff He refused,
so on 5/5/21 City Council denied his project.
Lot 16 -The Patel project was approved on 5/5/21. The height at curb is 13 ft. (not what we wanted, but close)
and side setbacks at 10/15ft.
Because these projects are "on the books" it is difficult to argue that what we have been working on for 22 years is not
new. We have been very consistent. I look forward to speaking this Wednesday and hope to convince you to amend the
"optional standards".
Sincerely,
Renee Massey

Rancho Cucamonga City Council Members,
Dear City Council Members,
I am a Camino Predera Resident, and I am opposed to the “Optional Standards” for
our street. Additionally, I request representation be in place for District 1 before this
decision is made.
I am not an attorney, but I do have the ability to read and reason and believe that SB
330 is specifically about aligning the General Plan with Existing Zoning densities.
See attached detail of the case from “Holland and Knight Alert” regarding YIMBY et
al. v. City of Los Angeles et al.. The case before the City Council has nothing to do
with densities and therefore SB 330 should not be the reason that the City Council
abdicates its responsibility to the existing landowners.
The attached article makes the case that Los Angeles will certainly appeal the
decision.
From the Article: ”Most critically, under the court's reading of the statute, even local
governments that have harmonized their general plan and zoning standards would
be precluded from applying those zoning standards if doing so would frustrate the
development of the project at the proposed density. Local governments, for
instance, would be categorically precluded from applying setback, height and yard
requirements contained in their zoning codes if the application of those
requirements would necessitate a density reduction.”
The proposed decision before the City Council does not involve a density alignment
with the existing zoning. This is a single-family development and there is not a
change in density and zoning.
I urge you, the City Council members, to postpone the vote on this critical issue that
preserves the views of Camino Predera. Additionally, I urge the City Council to read
the attached article and to use your own ability to reason.
Sincerely,
Catherine Weber

Temas
•Following its longtime practice, the City of Los Angeles Planning Department
initially refused to process, and later denied, an applicant's proposal to build a
multifamily development in an area of the San Fernando Valley that was zoned
for single-family housing, but nonetheless had a general plan designation that
allowed multifamily development.
•A 2018 amendment to California's Housing Accountability Act (HAA) requires
local governments to accommodate development at the density allowed in their
general plan in circumstances where zoning ordinances are inconsistent with
the general plan.
•In a recent lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles, the applicant together with
petitioner Yes In My Back Yard challenged the City's denial and argued that
the amended HAA required local governments to accommodate the general
plan's density, even when zoning classifications dictated lower densities.
•This interpretation, if it prevails, has the potential to significantly disrupt local
governments' practices with respect to processing requests for housing
development approvals.
YIMBY et al. v. City of Los Angeles et al.1 concerned a proposed 67-unit housing
development in the Woodland Hills area of the San Fernando Valley.2 While the City
of Los Angeles's (the City) general plan designated this area for multifamily
residential developments, the zoning requirements imposed by the applicable Canoga
Park-Winnetka-Woodland Hills-West Hills communities imposed a maximum density
of one residence per lot, mandating single-family detached homes.3 The City cited this
zoning designation, among other things, in denying the project.4
Page 229
Petitioner Yes In My Back Yard (YIMBY) alleged that the City's treatment of the
project violated Senate Bill 330 (SB330),5 the Housing Accountability Act
(HAA)6 and the Permit Streamlining Act (PSA).7 The Los Angeles Superior Court's
interpretation, if it prevails, has the potential to significantly disrupt local
governments' practices with respect to processing requests for housing development
approvals. This alert focuses upon YIMBY's HAA-related argument and the court's
discussion of that argument.8
Background on the HAA and Subdivision (j)
Prior to 2018, the HAA did not account for situations where a general plan's standards
conflict with zoning requirements with respect to allowable density. As the YIMBY
court noted, this statutory silence allowed local governments to "avoid compliance
with the HAA by maintaining low zoning densities that force a project into a
discretionary rezoning process[,]" even where the density was permitted by the
applicable general plan.9 The California legislature amended the HAA in 2018 to
address this loophole, adding two sentences to the HAA that were codified as
subdivision (j)(4):
For purposes of this section, a proposed housing development project is not
inconsistent with the applicable zoning standards and criteria, and shall not require a
rezoning, if the housing development project is consistent with the objective general
plan standards and criteria but the zoning for the project site is inconsistent with the
general plan. If the local agency has complied with paragraph (2), the local agency
may require the proposed housing development project to comply with the objective
standards and criteria of the zoning which is consistent with the general plan,
however, the standards and criteria shall be applied to facilitate and accommodate
development at the density allowed on the site by the general plan and proposed by
the proposed housing development project.10
The YIMBY petitioners alleged that precisely the scenario that the 2018 HAA
amendments sought to prevent had occurred with respect to the Woodland Hills
application: the general plan contemplated multifamily development, but the zoning
classification established under the Community Plan specifically limited residential
densities to one single-family residence per lot. In response, the City looked to the
zoning limitation and said than the application was not complete and required no
action by the City unless the applicant sought to change the zoning in a discretionary
process.
The Court's Interpretation
Page 230
In resolving the parties' HAA dispute, the court closely parsed both sentences of
subdivision (j)(4). With respect to the first sentence, the court reasoned that "a project
is not inconsistent with [the broader category of] zoning standards…if it is consistent
with the objective general plan standards even though the zoning is inconsistent with
the general plan."11 In other words, "a city must look to its general plan if the zoning
is inconsistent."12 The court found that "the Property's zoning is clearly inconsistent
with the General Plan designation[,]"13 and accordingly its disposition ultimately
turned on the first sentence of (j)(4). Nevertheless, the court also provided a lengthy
and illuminating discussion of subdivision (j)(4)'s second sentence, adopting a reading
that could have broader impacts on land use approvals.
The parties disputed whether, absent an inconsistency between the general plan and
zoning, local governments were required to accommodate the densities allowed by the
general plan. The City had asserted that (j)(4) in its entirety only comes into play in
the event of such an inconsistency. In the City's view, absent an inconsistency, it was
entitled to apply its objective zoning standards (which included density limits as well
as setback requirements, height limits, etc.) to a project, regardless of whether the
application of those zoning standards would frustrate development at the allowable
density.14 YIMBY, on the other hand, argued that each sentence of subdivision (j)(4)
covers a different scenario: the first sentence applies in the event of an inconsistency
between zoning and the general plan, while the second sentence applies where there is
no such inconsistency. Thus, in YIMBY's view, "the first sentence…provides that a
city must look to its general plan if the zoning is inconsistent, and the second sentence
provides that a city may look to its zoning's objective standards if the zoning and
general plan are consistent and must do so to facilitate and accommodate the site's
density allowed by the general plan."15 Critically, YIMBY posited that "[i]n either
circumstance, the city is required to permit the density allowed by the general plan."16
The court agreed with YIMBY, writing that "the City's interpretation ignores the plain
meaning of the second sentence[,]" which "expressly permits a city…to require a
project to comply with those objective zoning standards that are consistent with the
general plan, but it must do so in accordance with the general plan density. The plain
language of the second sentence does not require any inconsistency for the general
plan density to apply."17
Thus, the court concluded, "section 65589.5(j)(4) requires a city to defer to its general
plan's density requirements whether a property's zoning is consistent or inconsistent
with the general plan."18
Implications
Page 231
The City will almost certainly appeal the court's determination. Moreover, the facts
presented here align with those of the Snowball case (Snowball West Investments, LP
v. City of Los Angeles, Case No. 20STCP00771), which involved a different proposed
housing project in another part of the City with RA-1 zoning.19 However, should the
court's reasoning prevail, its interpretation of this provision has the potential to
significantly limit local governments' discretion over proposed housing projects that
are consistent with the general plan.
Most critically, under the court's reading of the statute, even local governments that
have harmonized their general plan and zoning standards would be precluded from
applying those zoning standards if doing so would frustrate the development of the
project at the proposed density. Local governments, for instance, would be
categorically precluded from applying setback, height and yard requirements
contained in their zoning codes if the application of those requirements would
necessitate a density reduction.
The court's reasoning also threatens an interpretive land use practice common in
Southern California. Like many jurisdictions, the City long ago established a
procedure for evaluating use permissibility that looked to a "hierarchical system of
uses" regulated by its general plan and zoning ordinance. This hierarchy progresses
from least restrictive to most restrictive, and recognizes that zoning classifications in
areas allowing greater development intensity also permit less intensive uses. In other
words, an area zoned for intensive commercial use categorically also permits less
intensive commercial uses. In the YIMBY case, the City relied on an exhaustive
argument about Footnote 9 in the City's General Plan to support its suggestion that the
zoning ordinance and general plan were not in fact inconsistent, because Footnote 9
permitted more restrictive prohibitions such as density restrictions to be incorporated
by reference into the general plan policies.20 The court rejected the longstanding use
of the cascading hierarchy of zoning restrictions to imply general plan consistency in
circumstances that thwart the residential densities contemplated by the general plan.
The YIMBY decision is remarkable for several reasons. First, despite claiming to
afford deference to the City's interpretation of its own land use rules, the court seized
upon an opportunity to find that state housing law principles aimed at the promotion
of housing development took priority over local regulatory frameworks that
traditionally have been used to thwart housing. Second, the YIMBY court went beyond
the posited question where a zoning ordinance conflicted with a jurisdiction's general
plan, ruling that even where there is consistency between plan and zoning, an
objective zoning limitation cannot be enforced if the result would be to reduce the
density of housing contemplated by a jurisdiction's general plan. Last, the court
emphatically rejected the long-held practice and policies of the City's Planning
Department, ruling that violations of SB330, the HAA and the PSA occurred when the
Page 232
City, as it has long done, finds that applications are not complete and refuses to
process them when they do not conform to a staff-level determination of how an
application should be processed. If the ruling prevails through appeal, the implications
for how the City and other jurisdictions process housing applications could be far-
reaching.
Notes
1 YIMBY et al. v. City of Los Angeles et al., Case No. 21-STCP-03883 (Cal. Super. Ct.
July 29, 2022).
2 Decision at 1.
3 Decision 1, 13-14.
4 Decision at 1. Initially, the applicant sought a preliminary application approval under
Senate Bill 330 (SB330), a state law that aims to lock in place existing development
standards under which an application will be evaluated. Decision at 6. Initially, the
City of Los Angeles (the City) refused to process the SB330 application, claiming it to
be incomplete because it did not seek a zone change for the property and misstated the
application for a density bonus. In a separate portion of its decision, the court ruled
that the City's conduct violated SB330 and the Permit Streamlining Act (PSA).

6 Cal. Gov. Code §§ 65589.5 et seq.
7 Cal. Gov. Code §§ 65920 et seq.
8 The court also discussed the City's conduct with respect to the proposed project in
other ways, raising other issues that are beyond the scope of this alert.
9 Decision at 28.
10 Cal. Gov. Code § 65589.5(j)(4).

12 Decision at 29.
13 Decision at 33.
14 Decision at 29-30.
Page 233
15 Decision at 29.
16 Decision at 29.
17 Decision at 30. The court's interpretation of the second sentence of subdivision
(j)(4) is dicta, inasmuch as it rules that the first sentence of the subdivision applies in
the event of an inconsistency. However, the order clearly announces that general plan
density requirements prevail of zoning requirements that operate to limit general plan
density.
18 Decision at 30.
19 In Snowball, a different L.A. Superior Court judge denied a petition for mandamus
following the City's denial of a zone change under similar circumstances: the general
plan category for the project contemplated as many as 244 homes, but the zone
category would permit only 19 homes. The City required the applicant to seek a zone
change. The Snowball court reached the opposite conclusion of YIMBY – accepting
the City's contention that no inconsistency existed between the general plan and the
zoning ordinance, despite the disparity in allowable residential units, because a similar
footnote in the plan incorporated by reference all more restrictive zoning categories
into the plan. Finding no such inconsistency to exist, the Snowball court concluded
that the HAA did not apply and the City was not obligated to grant an application
seeking to make use of the general plan's contemplated density. Snowball is on appeal
to the Second Appellate District Court of Appeal, and briefing has begun.
20 The Snowball court encountered a nearly identical footnote in a different portion of
the City's general plan, and sustained the City's long time practice of hierarchical
zoning interpretation – finding no conflict between plan and zoning to exist.

PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING
PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission and staff recommend the City Council conduct
first reading of Ordinance 1012 by title only to:
o Amend the Zoning Map to establish a new Camino Predera Overlay
Zone;and
o Amend Title 17 of the Municipal Code to incorporate new optional
development standards for the Camino Predera Overlay Zone
DATE:November 2, 2022
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
INITIATED BY:John R. Gillison, City Manager
FROM:Michael Frasure, Director of Building and Safety Services
SUBJECT:Public Hearing for Consideration of Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance
No. 1011, to be Read by Title Only and Waive Further Reading, Adopting the
2022 Edition of the California Building Model Codes and the 2021 Edition of the
International Building Codes. (ORDINANCE NO. 1011) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the 2022 California Model Codes and applicable
2021 International Codes. The effective date of the Ordinance would be January 1, 2023.
Additionally, December 21, 2022, will be the last day to submit applications at City Hall and
December 31, 2022, will be the last day to submit permit applications by electronic document
submittal for projects designed under the current 2019 code standards.
BACKGROUND:
The California Building Standards Commission recently adopted the 2022 Edition of the California
Building Codes, which is also known as the California Code of Regulations, Title 24 (CCR, T-24).
The 2022 California Building Codes include the California Building Code, the California Plumbing
Code, the California Mechanical Code, the California Electrical Code, the California Residential
Code, the California Green Building Code, and the California Historical Building Code. The
ordinance will bring all of the City’s Building and Construction Regulations into compliance with the
latest codes adopted by the California Building Standards Commission. Also required is the
adoption of the 2021 International Pool and Spa Code and the International Property Maintenance
Codes. Under State statute, specific referenced model codes must be adopted by the local
jurisdictions within 180 days of the publication date of the model codes. The effective date for local
enforcement of the new codes will be January 1, 2023.
Additionally, any modifications made by local agencies to the technical regulations adopted by the
California Building Standards Commission may only become effective if the local jurisdiction makes
express findings of need for changes due to local conditions. These modifications must be directly
related to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions in the form of an Ordinance and
must be filed directly with the Building Standards Commission after its adoption.
ANALYSIS:
The 2022 California Building Codes are based on the International Building Code, Volumes 1 and 2,
2021 Edition, the International Residential Code, 2021 Edition, and the International Property
Maintenance Code, published by the International Code Council (ICC); California Green Building
Page 240
Page 2
Code 2021 Edition, published by a joint effort of different State agencies; the 2021 International
Pool and Spa Code published by the ICC and the American Association of Pool and Spa
Professionals (APSP); the Uniform Plumbing and Mechanical Codes, 2021 Editions, published by
the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAMPO); and the National
Electrical Code, 2020 Edition, published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
The City has previously adopted a number of technical amendments to the building codes because
of special local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions. All applicable past amendments
are carried over into the new codes at this time. Examples of some major local code amendments
are the requirements of high wind design criteria, Class A fire retardant roofing materials for new
buildings built in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, soil reports for new construction due to
the special conditions of soil in the City, etc. At the beginning of each municipal code section
shown in the Ordinance, there are tables of the code sections which identify the local amendments.
It should be noted that the amendments to the administrative provisions and regulations addressing
elements of construction that are not regulated by the California Building Standards Commission do
not need to meet the test of being necessary due to climatic, geological, or topographical
conditions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No new fees or changes to the current building permit fee structure are proposed as part of this
building code adoption process.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
ENHANCING PREMIER COMMUNITY STATUS AND PUBLIC SAFETY: The adoption of these
codes will bring our building and construction regulations into compliance with the latest codes and
is an excellent demonstration of local government with an outstanding vision of maintaining up-to-
date construction requirements and great public safety.

FROM: John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Mike McCliman, Fire Chief
Rob Ball, Fire Marshal
SUBJECT: Public Hearing for Consideration of Second Reading and Adoption of
Ordinance No. FD-58, to be Read by Title Only and Waive Further
Reading, An Ordinance of the Board of Directors of the Rancho
Cucamonga Fire Protection District Adopting by Reference the 2022
California Fire Code, With Errata, Together With Certain Changes,
Modifications, Amendments, Additions, Deletions, and Exceptions;
Providing for the Issuance of Permits and Collection of Fees; and
Repealing Conflicting Ordinances. (ORDINANCE NO. FD-58) (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Fire Board of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District holds a
public hearing to receive a report and take comment on the adoption of Ordinance No. FD-58.
Staff further recommends, upon the conclusion of the public hearing, that the Board moves to
adopt Ordinance No. FD-58 which will adopt the 2022 California Fire Code together with local
amendments and District standards, all of which will constitute the Fire Code of the Rancho
Cucamonga Fire Protection District.
BACKGROUND:
Every three years, the State Fire Marshal adopts a new California Fire Code based on the model
code provisions of the International Fire Code. When this code is adopted and made effective
July 1st in the triennial cycle, city and county fire departments and fire districts have six months
to make amendments and adopt the code at the local level.
The code adoption process requires two readings of the proposed ordinance. Unlike most other
ordinances, the public hearing for the fire code adoption ordinance is held in conjunction with the
second reading of the ordinance in accordance with Section 13869 of the Health and Safety Code
and Section 50022 of the Government Code. If the proposed ordinance is adopted, its
provisions become effective January 2, 2023.
ANALYSIS:
This proposed ordinance continues the Fire District’s commitment to reducing risks, promoting a
high quality of life, preserving economic vitality, and protecting the environment in Rancho
Cucamonga. Consistent with the last five code adoption ordinances, most of the amendments
proposed by this ordinance are administrative in nature designed to support and facilitate the
business operations of the Fire District. Other amendments provide some fine tuning to safety
standards. These enhancements have been included in previous ordinances and reflect this
Page 260
Page 2
community’s values and commitment to a culture of safety for residents, households, and
businesses.
The local amendments to construction provisions are minimal and are limited to those necessary
to address the challenges inherent to Rancho Cucamonga’s climate, geology, or topography. The
Fire District is keenly aware that one of the primary ways of being a partner in this community’s
sustainable economic development is to simply implement at the local level the fire, health, and
environmental protection provisions approved by the State Building Standards Commission. Staff
asserts that the proposed amendments do not significantly impact development, construction, or
business operations and thus will not have an adverse financial impact on developers or
businesses.
The proposed ordinance also carries over provisions from the 2019 Fire Code that provide
additional abilities to recover court costs and attorney's fees. The Fire District rarely uses the
courts to gain compliance with fire prevention, life safety, and environmental protection codes and
standards, but when persistent non-compliance has left no other options, the compliance efforts
taken into the courts have a cost that is sometimes substantial. The provisions approved in 2019
and included in this proposed ordinance will allow District staff to more fully recover the costs of
court cases and put the cost burden of gaining compliance on the violator and not on the general
fund of the Fire District. These additions to the ordinance provide the best opportunity and tools
to ensure the risk reduction, hazard mitigation, and safety that is expected and valued in Rancho
Cucamonga is not a burden to those who comply with safety codes and standards.
Additionally, the proposed ordinance adopts by reference the State’s fire safe regulations for the
State Responsibility Area and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones within the Fire District’s
jurisdictional boundaries. This adoption by reference puts the Fire District in compliance with the
State’s requirements for providing fire protection and prevention services in designated wildland-
urban interface fire areas.
As with previous fire codes adopted by the State Fire Marshal, the 2022 fire code has some
noteworthy changes.
The battery and energy storage chapter has been significantly enhanced to address the rapid
evolution of technology related to energy storage systems. Of particular note, previous codes
have offered very little guidance on the use and storage of energy systems and products that
utilize lithium battery technology. This has presented a challenge at the local level with providing
consistent guidance to and regulation of an energy product with a known history of fire events. In
Rancho Cucamonga, Prevention staff researched the subject of lithium batteries and became
aware of literature that contained peer-reviewed industry best practices. This literature has served
as local standards in an attempt to reduce the hazards of lithium batteries in storage and use.
The 2022 California Fire Code includes nearly all of the safety provisions that the Prevention
Bureau and Building Department have been using locally.
Also new to the Fire Code is a section on additive manufacturing, which is also known as 3-D
printing. This technology continues to improve rapidly and is seeing wider use, especially at the
industrial scale. 3-D printing is a process that uses fine powders of various composition that are
both a dust explosion and inhalation hazard. The inert gases used in the process can be
asphyxiation hazards in enclosed spaces. The 2022 Fire Code incorporates NFPA standards by
reference for the regulation of 3-D printing, classifies many of the materials used in the process
as hazard materials already regulated by the Fire Code, and gives the local fire agency express
authority to obtain technical information about the process and equipment before approving its
use.
Page 261
Page 3
A troubling trend several years ago of clothes dryer fires, especially in multi-tenant residential
buildings, prompted Prevention staff to require regular maintenance of the dryers in accordance
with the manufacturer’s specifications. The property management and maintenance staff of multi-
tenant residential buildings have been required to keep a log of this maintenance work and make
the log available for review by the fire inspectors during the annual inspection. New to the 2022
Fire Code is a specific requirement for clothes dryers to be regularly maintained in accordance
with manufacturer’s specifications.
Also not previously addressed by the Fire Code is escape rooms or puzzle rooms. When these
entertainment businesses arrived in Rancho Cucamonga many years ago, the Fire District
considered them to be similar to special amusement buildings, which include fun houses and
haunted houses. The Fire District required the escape rooms to comply with the codes in place
for special amusement buildings. This was not enthusiastically received by the owners and
operators of the escape rooms because one of the main requirements of such entertainment
occupancies is for exiting that complies with the Building and Fire codes. The early iterations of
escape rooms wanted the exit doors to be locked as part of the puzzle that had to be solved in
order to move to the next area. The Prevention Bureau and the Building Official were not willing
to accept locked exits as part of a game. In the 2022 Fire Code, the term Special Amusement
Building has been expanded in scope to include escape and puzzle rooms. The new term Special
Amusement Area is inclusive of escape and game rooms and requires these entertainment
venues to comply with the same codes as haunted houses and fun houses, which is the safety
standard that has been in place locally for many years.
In the 2019 code, the safety provisions for food trucks and other mobile food preparation vehicles
were included in the Fire Code for the first time under the International based codes. It was a
good addition to the code. In the 2022 Fire Code, oversight of mobile food prep vehicles has been
taken out of the Fire Code and returned to county Health Departments. There is still a role for fire
agencies with regard to the safety of food trucks, especially those with commercial cooking
operations. The Fire District will continue to work cooperatively with the Health Department in
providing safety for mobile food operations, the operators, and the patrons.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The ordinance will re -authorize the assessment of fees by the Fire District for inspections and
permits. This authorization provides the mechanism for the inspection services to recover
associated costs; however, the collection of most inspection and permit fees is currently being
waived by a resolution of the Board to that effect. The ordinance also re -authorizes the fees and
fines for false and unwanted alarms, maintains the ability to issue administrative citations, and,
as previously mentioned, improves the ability to recover costs of legal services. All of these
elements of the ordinance are designed to ensure fiscal responsibility by maximizing cost
recovery where is it appropriate.
As previously noted, the amendments affecting construction standards are minimal and not
expected to adversely impact the cost of development. The safety enhancements that are
continued by way of this ordinance have proven to be reasonable from a cost-benefit perspective.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
The adoption of the 2022 California Fire Code, along with the proposed amendments, supports
the Board’s vision of ensuring Rancho Cucamonga’s continued success as a world class
community that is an equitable, sustainable, and vibrant city, rich in opportunity for all to thrive
and affirms the following stated values of the Fire Board:
• Providing and nurturing a high quality of life for all.
• Promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all.
• Building and preserving a family-oriented atmosphere.
• Relentless pursuit of improvement.

DATE:November 2, 2022
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY:Noah Daniels, Finance Director
SUBJECT:Consideration to Receive and File Quarterly Financial Update for the First
Quarter of the Fiscal Year 2022/23. (CITY/FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council receive and file the attached quarterly financial update for the
first quarter of the Fiscal Year 2022/23.
BACKGROUND:
Quarterly, the City Manager's Office and Finance Department provide the City Council with a brief
update on the budgetary status of the City's financial performance. The report includes the City's
operating funds consisting of the General Fund, Library Fund, and Fire District. The report also
provides economic factors and information to provide meaningful context for the City Council.
ANALYSIS:
The quarterly financial update includes a detailed financial analysis and discussion for the City
Council's review and consideration. With 25% of the fiscal year completed, the revenues and
expenditures of the General Fund, Library Fund, and Fire District are within the expected ranges.
However, below are summary-level notes and considerations to aid the report's review.
•Property tax is a primary source of revenue for the General Fund, Library Fund, and Fire
District, and the first apportionment occurs in December. As a result, property tax is below
the benchmark of 25% for the first quarter. The General Fund property tax category
includes property tax in lieu of vehicle license fees, which are not received until the year's
second half. Property taxes are projected to grow by approximately 5% from the last fiscal
year.
•Sales tax is a primary source of revenue for the General Fund and is received monthly;
however, due to timing, receipts for two months in the first quarter will be received in
October and November. For the first quarter receipts, sales tax is at the expected
benchmark of 8%, equal to 32% of receipts estimated for the first quarter. Sales tax flows
with consumer spending cycles. As such, the first and second quarters of the fiscal year
make up a little more than half of the sales tax receipts.
•Other primary sources of revenue for the General Fund include franchise fees and
transient occupancy taxes (TOT). TOT is received monthly from hotels within the City and
is projected to increase by approximately 12% from last year. The increase is due to
improving room occupancy and revenue per available room for existing hotels, which
directly impact TOT, as well as receipts from Hampton Inn, which began remitting TOT to
the City in July 2022. Due to receipt timing with the various franchisees, franchise fees are
not received in the first quarter of any year.

•Personnel services for the General Fund and Library Fund are below expectations for the
first quarter due to various full-time and part-time vacancies. Overall, recruitment of
positions has been challenging for the City as unemployed workers are more
discriminating about their employment options given low unemployment and abundance
of unfilled positions.
•Expenditure categories for operations and maintenance and professional services include
encumbrances for services, which sometimes result in spending exceeding the
benchmark. Including encumbrances is a conservative budgeting technique that prevents
budget overspending by placing commitments against the budget. The year-to-date
expenditures for the departments are analyzed individually within the report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Occasionally, staff may identify necessary budget appropriations during the preparation of this
report. However, no bugdet appropriations have been identified for the first quarter.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
Providing the City Council with regular financial updates on the City's financial performance
supports the Council's efforts to create an equitable, sustainable, and vibrant city, rich in
opportunity for all to thrive, by providing meaningful, timely financial information upon which they
can base their current and future decisions that impact the City's finances.

PURPOSE AND OVERVIEW OF THE REPORT
The City Manager’s Office and Finance Department is providing this quarterly financial report to the City
Council as a high-level overview of the City's financial status through the prior quarter ended September
30, 2022, as well as an overview of economic indicators that can influence the City's revenues and
expenditures.
This report has several components:
1.Quarterly Report: Includes budget to actual variances for revenue and expenditures for July 1, 2022,
through September 30, 2022, presenting the percentage of budget received/expended and the
revenue/expenditure from the prior year for comparison. Actual expenditures include encumbrances
as a conservative budgeting practice. The quarterly report provides this detail for the General Fund,
Fire Fund, and Library Fund.
(Pages 1 to 8)
2.Economic Brief: This report compiles economic information and indicators, such as employment data,
sales tax data, and other local and regional economic news.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
After the first quarter of the fiscal year, the City's financial
status is in line with expectations. Significant accounts and
notable variances are presented in this quarterly financial
report.
The tables in this report compare budgeted to actual
amounts for the General Fund, Fire District, and Library.
The year-to-date (YTD) actuals are unaudited and
presented with encumbrances. The revised budget
includes budget adjustments, encumbrance carryovers,
and any supplemental appropriations approved by City
Council during the quarter. The percent of the budget (%
Bud) is the percentage received/spent of the budget. The
2021 Actual shows the comparable actual from the first
quarter of the last year.
Green, yellow, and red colored icons are presented to aid
and visualize the financial analysis – green meaning good,
yellow monitor, and red alert.
GENERAL FUND OVERVIEW
The General Fund is the general operating fund for the
City. It includes multiple programs within several
departments that provide direct programs, activities, and
services to the citizens and businesses of Rancho
Cucamonga.
With 25% of the fiscal year complete, the General Fund
revenues and expenditures are in an expected range
considering seasonality, carryovers of purchase orders,
and adjusting for one-time events from last year.
Operating revenues equal 9% of the annual budget versus
20% at this time last fiscal year. However, prior year
operating revenues would be at 9% if not for a
retrospective transfer to the General Fund for the
reimbursement of public safety costs from ARPA funding.
Operating expenditures equal 19% of the annual budget
versus 24% at this time last fiscal year. This report
analyzes the deviation from the prior year in the
departmental level section.
The table above includes departmental and non-
departmental spending. Non-departmental expenditures are
excluded from the individual departmental analysis section.
Major Revenues. The primary revenue sources for the
General Fund are property tax, sales tax, franchise fees,
and transient occupancy tax. Based on budgeted figures
and receipt schedules, the General Fund's significant
revenues are within expected ranges. Other revenues
with notable variances are highlighted below.
Property Tax. The first major apportionment of property
tax occurs in December each year. The City partners with
a property tax consultant to continually monitor and
project property tax revenues for the City. Based on
projected growth, the budget estimate is 5% more than
the prior year. The property tax revenue category includes
Property Tax in Lieu of vehicle license fees in the amount
of $23.7 million, which is received in installments, the first
being in January of each year. Also included in the revenue
category is $3.2 million for residual payments from the
dissolution of the former redevelopment agency, which is
not received until later in the year.
Sales Tax. Sales tax is a significant revenue source for the
City and is monitored closely by City staff and the City's
Page 330
2
sales tax consultant. The City received the first monthly
allocation of sales tax in September. The allocation
represents approximately 32% of the estimated sales tax
for the first quarter, and the balance of the first quarter
allocations will be received in October and November.
Recent economic indicators, such as inflation of food,
general goods, fuel, and Federal Funds rate increases,
have the potential to slow taxable sales. However, it is too
early to project the impacts of these economic forces, and
the upcoming fourth calendar quarter is the largest for
sales tax receipts. Therefore, City staff will continue to
monitor sales tax projections.
Franchise Fees Transient Occupancy Taxes. Transient
Occupancy Taxes (TOT) and Franchise Fees comprise 15%
of the taxes received by the General Fund. Franchisees
remit payment to the City on recurring schedules, but not
in the first quarter of the year. Gas and electric franchise
fees are received in the year's final quarter. Refuse and
cable franchise fees are quarterly but received after the
quarter's close. TOT is remitted by hotels to the City
monthly. The pandemic significantly impacted TOT, and
exiting the pandemic, the budget estimate projects
growth of approximately 12% from the prior year's
budget, based on forecasted room occupancy and
revenue per available room. Additionally, the City began
receiving TOT in July 2022 from the Hampton Inn, and a
new hotel is currently in construction.
Licenses and Permits. Includes building and engineering
permits, which comprise 5% of the budget, and other
miscellaneous licenses. After the end of the first quarter,
actual revenue is at 36% of the budget.
Fines and Forfeitures. Includes vehicle and parking fines,
which comprise 70% of the fines and forfeitures budget,
and other general fines and forfeitures. This category
includes vehicle code fines collected by San Bernardino
County and remitted to the City. Parking citations and
vehicle release fees are at 17% of the budget, and vehicle
fines are at 7%.
Charges for Services. Includes various plan check and
engineering fees, which comprise 52% of the budget, and
recreation fees at 29%. Recreation fees are expected to
be higher than last year due to facility closures and limited
programs in response to the pandemic. However, there
has been a notable reduction in demand for recreational
classes and programs before the pandemic, likely due to
customers finding other sources of recreation when
pandemic-related closures occur and not returning to City
provided programs. It is uncertain whether this is a
temporary or permanent reduction in demand and is
being monitored. Currently, recreation fees are below
budget expectations at 15%.
Intergovernmental. Includes motor vehicle in-lieu fees
and homeowners property tax relief revenues from the
County, which are received later in the year.
Transfers In. Transfers represent the transfers of
resources from other funds to the General Fund. Through
the fiscal years 2021 and 2022, the City received $26.8
million in State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. The City
experienced significant revenue loss due to the pandemic
in the form of sales tax, transient occupancy taxes, and
departmental charges for service revenues. These funds
had to be used for general government services up to the
calculated revenue loss. After the final program rules
were published and the revenue loss replacement
calculations were completed, resources for monthly
public safety costs paid by the General Fund were
transferred. For accounting purposes, public safety
expenditures made between July and September 2021 are
retroactively recorded, resulting in the current year's
variance.
Other Revenues. Includes interest earned on invested
funds, rental and lease income, reimbursements, and
miscellaneous revenues. Reimbursements represent 37%
of this category and are at 25% of the budget after the first
quarter. This category includes $250,000 of
reimbursements for the administration of the former
redevelopment agency that are recorded as first and third
quarter installments. Recreational and miscellaneous
rental and lease income represent 24% of this category
and are at 14% of the budget.
Departmental Expenditures. General Fund departmental
expenditures tend to vary due to operations, the timing of
vendor payments, and purchase order carryovers from
the prior year. Therefore, YTD expenditures may be above
or below 25% but still within the expected range.
Page 331

Generally, personnel services will appear to be higher
than the benchmark of 25% for the quarter due to the
allocation of fringe benefits to departments at the start of
the fiscal year. The departmental allocation is based on
budgeted positions authorized and adjusted at the end of
the year to reflect the actual costs for filled positions.
However, excluding fringe benefits, personnel services
are generally below the first quarter's benchmark due to
vacant positions in virtually every department, which
have been challenging to fill. Therefore, the individual
departmental highlights illustrate exceptions to this trend
or notable activity.
Departments that provide centralized services to the City
have a net reduction in the total budget under Cost
Allocation, representing the estimated costs of services
expended within that department to benefit another
fund(s) within the City.
Operations and maintenance are slightly above the
benchmark at 27% but are not significant costs.
Operations and maintenance and Professional services
exceeded the benchmark at 51% and 67%, respectively,
due to encumbrances for animal care and veterinarian
services totaling $113,540 and $79,690. Actual spending
for operations and maintenance through the first quarter
is similar to last year. Spending on professional services
increased from the previous year due to increased spay
and neutering services performed. Capital outlay
expenditures are higher than the benchmark due to the
purchase order carryover and purchase of a veterinary
ultrasound system in the current year.
Operations and maintenance are below the benchmark at
13% but are not significant costs and are similar to last
year. Professional services are above the benchmark at
98% due to annual encumbrances for plan check contract
services that assist the department.
Operations and maintenance are below the benchmark at
14%, slightly more than last year at 8%. Professional
services are below the benchmark at 3% due to the timing
of expenditures for elections occurring in November.
Elections occur in even-numbered years and are a
significant budget item for City Clerk and Records
Management Department.
Operations and maintenance expenditures are lower than
the benchmark at 1% due to less travel and meeting
activity in the first quarter of this year compared to last
year.
Operations and maintenance are below the benchmark at
10% and are similar to last year. Operations and
maintenance were lower compared to the prior year due
to Healthy RC’s Los Amigos Neighborhood project.
Professional services are also below the benchmark at
16% due to the timing of miscellaneous purchases, such
as office supplies and membership dues.
Page 332
4
Operations and maintenance are below the benchmark at
23% but are not significant costs and are similar to last
year. Professional services are below the benchmark at
3% but comparable with actual spending last year after
excluding the prior year’s $105,000 encumbrance for
contract legal services to aid community improvement.
Typical with other professional services, spending for legal
costs is driven by need within a department.
Personnel services are below the comparable range with
other departments at 34%. Excluding fringe benefits,
personnel services are 11% of the budget, the same as last
year. Similar to other departments, there have been
delays in filling full-time and part-time vacant positions.
As previously mentioned, the pre-pandemic client base
shows reduced recreational service demand. In
combination with strains in recruiting, the personnel
services budget will be monitored going into future
quarters. Operations and maintenance and professional
services are below the benchmark at 18% and 15%,
respectively. However, they are higher than last year at
1% and 10%. The pandemic significantly impacted
programming and events, and these accounts will vary
compared to the previous year when pandemic-related
reductions were in effect. Capital Outlay for pickleball
court construction, digital projectors at the cultural
center, theater control system, and other various
purchases have been fully encumbered this quarter for
future purchases.
Operations and maintenance are at the benchmark at
26% and are comparable with the last year. Professional
services are below the benchmark at 14% and are less
than the prior year at 27%. This variance is due to the prior
year's expenditures, including $13,700 of professional
services for the RC Enhanced Infrastructure Financing
District (EIFD) that were expended in the Economic and
Community Department budget and reclassed to the EIFD
Fund after the close of the first quarter. Additionally,
$6,300 of professional services for the General Plan were
expended in the prior year.
Operations and maintenance are above the benchmark at
45% due to a $96,000 NPDES County Permit per
agreement with San Bernardino County Flood Control
District. The remaining operations and maintenance
budget are at 5% of the budget, the same as last year.
Professional services are above the benchmark at 81%,
and the higher amount is related to encumbrances for
plan check services and other services to aid with the
review of large projects.
Operations and maintenance and professional services
are above the benchmark at 50% and 80%, respectively,
due to various encumbrances issued at the start of the
year for maintenance and janitorial services. Utilities are
above the benchmark at 33% compared with last year at
28%. Gas utilities are up $17,100, or 77%, from last year
due to the upwards trends in the usage of gas utilities
from operations resuming more City facilities, timing of
utility bills, and gas price increases. Electric utilities are up
$86,540, or 28%, from last year due to rate increases from
October 2021. Utilities will be monitored and adjusted at
midyear to reflect costs projected through the end of the
year.

Operations and maintenance are below the benchmark at
13%, but the costs are not significant. Professional
services are above the benchmark at 67%, including
$47,130 in encumbrances for tax consultation and
financial services to aid in implementing governmental
accounting standards. Excluding encumbrances, spending
for professional services is similar to last year.
Operations and maintenance and professional services
are approximate to the benchmark at 24% and 22%,
respectively. Operations and maintenance spending
compared to the last year is higher due to expenditures
for a virtual interview platform and first aid supplies. Also,
professional services spending is higher due to
investigative services.
Operations and maintenance are above the benchmark at
76% due to the timing of accounting entries. In the current
year, Finance recorded the internal charge to the
Computer and Equipment Internal Service Fund was
processed in the first quarter; however, not in the first
quarter last year. This internal service charge funds
further purchases of citywide computers and equipment.
Excluding this internal service charge, the current year
would have been similar to last year at 7%. Professional
services are above the benchmark at 39%. Professional
services include software subscriptions and other related
services. This account will historically vary based on the
timing of payments to vendors. Utilities are below the
benchmark at 19% and the same as last year.
Operations and maintenance are below the benchmark at
6%, but the costs are not significant. Professional services
are above the benchmark at 35%. They include
encumbrances of contract services for peer review
services and other additional staff services totaling
$106,900.
Operations and maintenance are above the benchmark at
44% and include an annual encumbrance for gasoline to
fuel police vehicles totaling $338,000. Professional
services are at the benchmark of 25%. Professional
services represent the contract with San Bernardino
County Sheriffs to provide police services to the City.
Utilities are approximate to the benchmark at 21% and
not a significant cost. Other expenditures are the
proportionate share of insurance costs for Police in the
Public Safety Facility and are charged quarterly.
There are no notable account variances, as operation and
maintenance is not a significant cost.
Operations and maintenance are above the benchmark at
83%. In the current year, Finance recorded the internal
charge to the Vehicles and Equipment Internal Service
Fund, which was processed in the first quarter; however,
not in the first quarter last year. This internal service
Page 334
6
charge funds further purchases of citywide vehicles and
equipment. Excluding this internal service charge, the
current year would have been similar to last year at 34%.
Professional services are above the benchmark at 81%,
but spending is similar to last year. Expenditures for
professional services include $652,900 for park
maintenance and operations, consistent with the
previous year. Utilities are at the benchmark at 25% and
similar to last year. The capital outlay budget accounts for
the citywide concrete repair program, which will begin
later in the year.
FIRE DISTRICT OVERVIEW
The purpose of the Fire District is to provide fire
suppression and prevention services to the citizens and
businesses within the City. The Fire District comprises the
Fire General Fund and Community Facilities Districts (CFD)
85-1 and 88-1. There are seven active fire stations within
the City, and one is currently being constructed.
With 25% of the fiscal year complete, the Fire District
revenues and expenditures are in an expected range
considering seasonality, carryovers of purchase orders,
and adjusting for one-time events from last year.
Fire District Revenues. Operating revenues equal 2% of
the annual budget versus 1% last year. The primary source
of revenue for the Fire District is property tax.
Property Tax. The first major apportionment of property
tax occurs in December each year. The City partners with
a property tax consultant to continually monitor and
project property tax revenues for the Fire District. Based
on projected growth, the budget estimate is 5% more
than the prior year. Included in the property tax revenue
category is $14.6 million for residual payments from the
dissolution of the former redevelopment agency, which
are received later in the year.
CFDs 85-1 and 88-1 levy special taxes for funding
administration, personnel services, maintenance, and
operations within the CFDs' boundaries. The special tax
levy has remained purposefully unchanged for several
years, and the Fire District subsidizes the CFDs. Combined,
the CFDs will collect $6.7 million and receive a $3.6 million
contribution of resources from the Fire District. The
contribution is shown as a Transfer In (revenue) to the
CFDs and Transfers Out (expenditure) from the Fire
District in the summary, revenue, and expenditure tables
for the Fire District.
Other Notable Variances. Other revenue includes interest
earned on invested funds, rental and lease income,
reimbursements, and miscellaneous revenues.
Reimbursements from the Other Post-Employment
Benefits (OPEB) Trust for the retiree healthcare costs
comprise 55% and other non-abated reimbursements,
which primarily consist of CalOES, comprise 32%, totaling
87% of the category budget. Finance requests
reimbursements from the OPEB Trust for retiree
healthcare costs near the end of each fiscal year, and
reimbursement from CalOES for fire support depends on
the timing of reimbursement receipts processing by the
state agency.
Fire District Expenditures. Operating expenditures are
27% of the annual budget versus 21% last year.
Page 335
7
Fire District personnel services incur fringe benefits as
incurred. Personnel services are lower than the
benchmark at 21% and are comparable to last year at
22%. The budget for personnel services includes the nine
new staff for Fire Station 178, anticipated to be hired in
January 2023.
Operations and maintenance are above the benchmark at
36%, less than last year at 52%. The decrease is due to the
timing of the general liability insurance premium of
$556,000 being paid after the first quarter, and adjusting
for this payment, the category is similar to the prior year.
Professional services are above the benchmark at 41%
and are more than last year at 39%. Professional services
include a variety of encumbrances for recurring services
totaling $716,100. Spending is consistent with the
previous year.
Utilities are approximate to the benchmark and similar to
last year at 25%.
Capital outlay accounts for ADA improvements at Fire
Station 174, which will occur later in the year.
Debt service accounts for the interfund loan between the
Fire District and the General Fund. The interest
component of the interfund loan is shown as debt service
for the Fire District. This interfund loan will be fully repaid
in October 2023.
Cost allocation represents the estimated service costs
that City departments expend to benefit the Fire District.
The City charges cost allocation at the start of each fiscal
year.
Other expenditures include reimbursements to the City
for shared costs and services, miscellaneous expenditures
which occur during the year, and primarily Fire District
CalPERS unfunded actuarial liability (UAL) payments. The
UAL payment of $3.7 million comprises 80% of the budget
for the category, and the payment occurs near the end of
the year.
LIBRARY FUND OVERVIEW
With 25% of the fiscal year complete, the Library Fund
revenues and expenditures are in an expected range
considering seasonality, carryovers of purchase orders,
and adjusting for one-time events from last year.
Library Revenues. Operating revenues equal 1%, the
same as last year. The primary source of revenue for the
Library is property tax.
Property Tax. The first major apportionment of property
tax occurs in December each year. The City partners with
a property tax consultant to continually monitor and
project property tax revenues for the Library Fund. Based
on projected growth, the budget estimate is 5% more
than the prior year. Included in the property tax revenue
category is $140,000 for residual payments from the
dissolution of the former redevelopment agency, which
are received later in the year.
Other Notable Variances. Other revenue includes interest
earned on invested funds, rental and lease income,
reimbursements, miscellaneous revenues, contributions,
and fundraising. Support from the RC Library Foundation
comprises 79% of the category budget.
Page 336
8
Library Expenditures. Operating expenditures were 41%
of the annual budget versus 42% last year.
Similar to the City, personnel services for the Library will
appear to be higher than the benchmark of 25% for the
quarter due to the allocation of fringe benefits to
departments at the start of the fiscal year. Excluding
fringe benefits, personnel services for the Library Fund are
below the benchmark at 14%, similar to last year. Like
other City departments, the Library Fund has experienced
delays in filling full-time and part-time vacancies.
Operations and maintenance are above the benchmark at
73%, the same as last year. At the start of each year, the
Library encumbers funding for printed and digital book
materials and supplies for the two libraries, and the
spending at the end of the first quarter includes $529,100
in encumbrances.
Professional services are above the benchmark at 62%,
higher than last year at 52%. The timing of payments to
vendors impacts the category. For example, the vendor
for the one subscription service was paid at the end of the
first quarter of this year and in the third quarter of last
year.
Utilities are below the benchmark at 16%, similar to last
year, and not a significant cost to Library.
Capital outlay represents the planned purchase for
another 24/7 Library Material Kiosk that will be installed
outside Fire Station 178. The installation will occur later,
most likely in the third or fourth quarter of the year.
Cost allocation represents the estimated service costs
that City departments expend to benefit the Library. The
City charges cost allocation at the start of each fiscal year.
Transfers out are at the benchmark of 25%, the same as
last year. This category represents the transfer of
resources to the Library Capital Project Fund to construct
the Secord Story and Beyond Project at Paul Biane Library.
These transfers are charged quarterly.
Other expenditures include unplanned programming and
miscellaneous expenses during the year. This category will
vary depending on actual activity.

ECONOMIC BRIEF
As the City moves from Q1 2022-23 into Q2, signs of a change are clear. While inflation is declining slowly, it remains
stubbornly high. Interest rates are rapidly rising, which is affecting the housing market. Long lead times and supply chain
delays remain, and the economy is beginning to adjust to the changes in demand.
Unemployment Rate
Based on preliminary data for August 2022, the City unemployment rate is 3.1%, up 0.2% from July 2022 and 2.6% from
one year ago.
The City unemployment rate is favorable compared with:
•At a regional level, San Bernardino County unemployment rate was 4.2% in August, up 0.3% from July and down
3.3% from one year ago.
•At a statewide level, California unemployment rate was 4.1% in August, up 0.2% from July and down 2.9% from
one year ago. In August 2022, the unemployment rate increased in 53 out of 58 counties in California.
•At a national level, the U.S. unemployment rate was 3.7% in August, up 0.2% from July and down 1.5% from one
year ago.
The table below summarizes August compared to the previous month and year.
The City unemployment rate is very favorable when analyzed against comparable cities in San Bernardino County. The
following graph illustrates the City's and other cities' unemployment rates compared with the San Bernardino County
unemployment rate.

Historically, the City's unemployment rate is favorable compared to San Bernardino County. The graph below illustrates
the annual unemployment rate for ten years and the available months for the current year for the City and San Bernardino
County.
Labor Force
The labor force is another economic indicator of the labor market's health. The labor force includes all persons classified
as employed or unemployed. However, it does not include unemployed people that are not looking for work. Thus, the
size of the labor force demonstrates the number of people looking for work and how likely they feel they can get a job.
Over the last year, job resignations have reached new highs. Monitoring the labor force will indicate whether workers are
leaving or finding new jobs.
At a statewide level, forty-five of the 50 sub-state areas recorded year-over employment gains in August. The City labor
force increased by 600 compared to July and by 4,200 from August 2021. On the year-over change, unemployed workers
decreased by 2,400, and employed workers increased by 6,600, indicating that workers seeking employment could find
jobs. The table below summarizes the labor force for August compared to the previous month and the previous year. Note
that the totals and net totals are rounded.

An increasing labor force and total employment are positive economic indicators. The labor force has increased by 14,500,
and employment has risen by 18,900 since 2012. The graph below illustrates the annual labor force and employment
numbers for the City over ten years and the completed periods for the current year. The gap between the labor force and
full employment represents unemployment in terms of people rather than as a percentage rate. The tight gap indicates
that even though anything below 5% unemployment is considered "full employment," few people are left without a job.
Choices abound, albeit workers are far more discriminating than ever about where and for whom they choose to work.
Consumer Price Index
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the average change over time in the prices consumers pay for goods and
services. The CPI provides a way to compare what goods and services cost this month with the same cost a month or year
ago.
The CPI is the most widely used measure of inflation and provides information about price changes in the economy.
However, CPI is not a cost-of-living index. A cost-of-living index is a conceptual measurement goal and not a
straightforward alternative to CPI, as a cost-of-living index measure changes needed to reach a certain "standard of living."
Instead, CPI reflects changes in the prices of goods and services over a period and does not go beyond other factors.
CPI is calculated at regular intervals within urban or metropolitan areas to allow for a combination of factors impacting
price change for items to take effect. The table below illustrates the CPI for all urban consumers for 2021 through the
completed 2022 year. The City refers to the CPI for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Area.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland calculates the median CPI to measure core inflation while removing highly
volatile commodities—such as food and energy prices which are largely set by global markets. Median CPI is calculated
by ranking the highest inflation rate to the lowest (each item is weighted by consumer spending), then using the item in
the middle of the pack for the measurement. The result is that average price trends can be identified when the highest
and lowest inflation rates are removed for any given time. The graph below shows that the median CPI has been steadily
rising over the last year and is at its highest level in decades. The concern is that overall inflation impacts more than a
handful of outlier categories.
Sales Tax
Sales tax has grown rapidly coming out of the pandemic, fueled by internet sales and accumulated cash. As a general
statement, revenue growth more often than not, is followed by more growth. Despite this trend, there are some definite
headwinds to contend with, including:
• Five (5) increases to the Federal Fund's interest rate to date, some as large as 75 basis points, with more hikes
expected if inflation does not soon begin moderating
• Fuel price instability caused by both supply and demand factors

• Stock market retreat as equities are substantially negative in terms of returns for the calendar year
• Rising consumer prices could further weaken consumer confidence, and households may begin to pull back on
discretionary purchases
• Rising employee costs and worker shortages are holding back rebounds in hospitality and travel
• Pandemic cycles may impact future spending patterns
At the end of the City’s fourth quarter (June 2022), the City's top five sales tax-producing sectors included casual dining,
service stations, discount department stores, building materials, and new motor vehicle dealers. At the end of the City's
first quarter (September 2022), the EV auto sales business, which produced the majority of sales tax for new motor vehicle
sales, relocated its point-of-sale location outside the City. As a result, the City will no longer receive sales tax receipts from
this business. For the other sectors, the economic forces highlighted above have a meaningful impact on each of these
sectors:
• Escalating costs and staffing shortages present ongoing challenges for casual dining and restaurants
• Shoppers of general consumer goods might be shifting spending to cover higher food and gas prices
• Increases in the cost of materials, particularly building materials, will likely be passed on to consumers
These are just cautionary economic indicators suggesting a slowdown could be on the horizon. However, much of the
fiscal year lies ahead, and there remains significant uncertainty about how much these larger economic forces will shape
the impact on taxable sales for the City. Therefore, at this point, the City is cautiously monitoring things and proceeding
conservatively.
The graph below illustrates the quarterly sales tax receipts by quarter for several years, adjusted as noted in the prior
section for the loss of auto sales in the current fiscal year. Based on forecasts for FY 2023, sales tax has exceeded pre-
pandemic levels. Additionally, this graph demonstrates a repeated trend for sales tax receipts, whereby the fourth quarter
of the calendar year is the most significant quarter for the City.

Questions?
DATE:November 2, 2022
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY:Matt Marquez, Director of Planning and Economic Development
SUBJECT:Consideration to Approve Submittal of a Letter of Interest for Participation
in the San Bernardino Regional Housing Trust. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the submittal of a Letter of Interest for
Participation in the San Bernardino Regional Housing Trust.
BACKGROUND:
In response to an increased need for access to affordable housing across the San Bernardino
region, the lack of sufficient funding to produce needed affordable housing, due in part to the
dissolution of redevelopment, and an increased interest in solutions to comprehensively address
regional housing needs, the San Bernardino Council of Governments (SBCOGG)/San Bernardino
County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), referred to as the SBCOG, is developing pathways for
increased funding to support housing related programs. One such pathway is the establishment
of a regional housing trust fund, which would serve as a funding mechanism to support housing
programs. A housing trust fund is a program or independent organization that raises funding to
dedicate to housing construction, preservation, and rehabilitation, often concentrated on
affordable housing, homeless housing services, down payment assistance, gap financing,
supporting housing trusts, and related activities. The goals of a housing trust are to create
affordable housing and/or homelessness solutions by leveraging new funding sources.
In 2021, in response to increasing concern around the region’s housing shortage, the City/ County
Managers Technical Advisory Committee (CCMTAC) of the SBCOG formed an adhoc
subcommittee (Subcommittee). The Subcommittee expressed interest in exploring the feasibility
of implementing a housing trust fund for the San Bernardino region. In response to the request of
the Subcommittee, in January 2022, SBCOG released a Draft San Bernardino Regional Housing
Trust White Paper that details the potential benefits, structures, and an assortment of relevant
case studies regarding the formation of a Regional Housing Trust Fund. In the White Paper, it is
recommended that a housing trust serving the San Bernardino Region be structured as a Joint
Powers Authority (JPA) made up of participating members with a non-profit component that allows
the Housing Trust to solicit and accept private donations. It is further recommended that a Housing
Trust should be administered by SBCOG to utilize existing staff resources and expertise related
to the pursuit of regional grant funds and to better connect housing with regional transportation
efforts.
The SBCOG is in the process of identifying jurisdictions interested in participating in the regional
housing trust. They are requesting submittal of a letter form jurisdictions interested in
participating.

ANALYSIS:
Housing supply is one of the most critical issues today facing the State of California, including
San Bernardino County. The state and county face a significant housing supply and affordability
crisis spurred by high land costs, rising construction costs, and limited financing options. The
vision for the San Bernardino Regional Housing Trust (SBRHT) is to attract significant funding
and affordable housing development interest into the San Bernardino region. Goals include:
1. Increasing and preserving the region’s affordable housing supply
2. Attracting affordable housing developers
3. Increasing housing opportunities
4. Protecting against displacement and poor housing conditions
Through strong participatory governance, member jurisdictions will work to increase the region’s
affordable housing supply, reduce household overcrowding, increase equitable access to
community resources, and provide financial relief for vulnerable and cost-burdened households.
Trust Funds in California & Membership
There are at least 48 affordable housing trusts in California, whose members include more than
60 local jurisdictions. Housing trusts in Southern California include the West Hollywood Affordable
Housing Trust Fund, the Orange County Housing Finance Trust, the Skid Row Housing Trust, the
Santa Monica Citywide Housing Trust Fund, the County of Ventura Housing Trust Fund, the newly
formed San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust, and others. A local government would take
formal action to join the housing trust fund JPA by adopting a resolution at the local level.
Following local approval, the administrating agency, potentially SBCOG, would approve their
membership and certify that the jurisdiction has paid membership dues and is compliant with other
membership requirements.
Funding a Housing Trust & Benefits
Housing trusts receive financial support from a variety of sources. Some of the most common
categories of funding include dedicated funding from local jurisdictions, State and federal grants,
bonds, and private donations. Importantly, there are significant funding sources that are only
accessible to housing trusts. There are a variety of benefits of affordable housing trust funds. In
general, they provide a variety of quality housing types and options for those who might otherwise
struggle to afford it. This includes support for lower and middle-income earners such as teachers,
service workers, warehouse and logistics personnel, and other essential workers. Depending on
how they are administered, benefits can also include: providing housing and supportive services
for individuals and families experiencing homelessness; bringing outside money to the region, not
otherwise accessible; and improving the quality of existing affordable housing to improve quality
of life for residents and neighbors. Effective housing trusts achieve these outputs by leveraging
new funding sources, rather than redirecting existing funding sources.
Trust Fund Administration & Costs
To maximize stability and access to funding sources, the housing trust fund would most likely be
structured as a hybrid nonprofit-Joint Powers Authority (JPA). The housing trust could potentially
leverage the administrative support and executive leadership of SBCOG to achieve efficiencies
and would have oversight from its governing board. The trust would establish a JPA with those
that choose to participate. SBCOG could administer the trust and the costs to the agency would
be offset by the housing trust fund’s resources. SBCOG’s existing staffing infrastructure is skilled
in all requisite administrative areas including executive leadership, financial accounting, and
administration, making SBCOG an ideal candidate for housing trust fund administration.
Based on research into successful programs across the state, SBCOG estimates that an
Page 344

affordable housing trust fund will require approximately $230,000 in annual contributions from
participating jurisdictions for the first five to ten years of operation until the fund achieves financial
independence. Member dues will be based on a combination of factors, such as the jurisdiction’s
population, jobs, and anticipated growth and may range from $1,500 to $50,000, depending on
which factors are selected, how many jurisdictions choose to participate, and local characteristics.
Operations of the housing trust is determined through the development of an Administrative Plan
which would establish a board of directors responsible for managing housing trust fund activities
and goals. These approved activities could include new construction of affordable housing,
predevelopment activities for affordable housing, down payment assistance for first-time
homebuyers, preservation or rehabilitation of existing affordable housing, support for community
land trusts, and establishment of housing and supportive services for people experiencing
homelessness.
Steps to Establishing a Regional Housing Trust & Timeline
The creation of the SBRHT is envisioned to occur through the following steps:
1.Identify Participating Jurisdictions
2. Draft Administrative Plan
3. REAP 2.0 Funding Application
4. Establish a Joint Powers Authority (JPA)
5. Adopt Administrative Plan
A draft timeline of events for the creation of the housing trust is as follows:
Source: SBCOG
As part of step 1 of the formation process, staff is asking the City Council to approve submittal of
a letter of interest to participate in the SBRHT. It is important to note that submittal does not bind
the City to participate in the trust. However, should the City choose to participate and then choose
to opt out at a later date, the jurisdiction would have the ability to do so by adopting a resolution
rescinding membership at the local level. Typically, this is required at least six months prior to
the start of a new fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The subject item will not create a fiscal impact at this time. However, should the City choose to
become a member of the SBRHT, membership dues will be required on an annual basis.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
Goals of the SBRHT include increasing the regions affordable housing supply and protecting
against displacement and poor housing conditions. The subject item is consistent with the City
Council’s core values, as it serves to provide and nurture a high quality of life for all; building and
preserving a family-oriented atmosphere; intentionally embracing and anticipating the future; and
contributing to equitable prosperity for all.

RE: INTEREST IN PARTICIPATING IN SAN BERNARDINO REGIONAL HOUSING TRUST
Dear Mr. Wolfe,
The City of Rancho Cucamonga is interested in participating in the San Bernardino Regional Housing
Trust (SBRHT) to be established by the San Bernardino Council of Governments (SBCOG). Through
the SBHRT, the City of Rancho Cucamonga intends to further the SBHRT’s goal to attract significant
funding and affordable housing development interest into the San Bernardino region.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga anticipates that SBCTA/SBCOG will administer SBRHT and that each
participating Party shall make annual contributions toward the budgeted administrative costs of SBRHT.
In return, SBRHT will provide services and support to the region and its Parties to carry out the purpose

Why Do We Need a Housing Trust?02
6
Why are we here?
Household Overcrowding
(more than 1 persons per bedroom)
•The Region has Census tracts with concentrations
of more than 20% of households that experience
overcrowded.
Household Overpayment
(spending more than 30% of income on housing
costs)
•Renters are especially cost burdened
•The Region has Census tracts where more than
80% of renters are burdened by the cost of
housing.
7
Why are we here?
Poverty
(varies by number of people per household –a family
of 4 [2 adults and 2 children] are considered to live in
poverty if they earn less than $27k per year)
•The Region has Census tracts with concentrations
of more than 40% of households living below the
poverty level
Cost of Transportation
(as a percent of total household income)
•Regional average transportation cost is 27%
•Regional average combined housing and
transportation cost is 59%
Tax Credit -Higher Resource Areas
(higher resource areas are more competitive for
accessing TCAC funds for affordable housing)
•Most areas in the region fall within the
moderate to low resource categories.

DATE:November 2, 2022
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY:Robert Neiuber, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT:Consideration to Approve the City Manager's Amended and Restated
Employment Agreement. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached amended and restated employment
agreement between the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the City Manager,
John R. Gillison.
BACKGROUND:
On July 6, 2011, the City Council approved an employment contract with John Gillison to serve
as City Manager with an effective date of September 1, 2011. That agreement provides for
performance reviews with consideration for annual merit salary increases. The agreement has
been amended from time to time since originally approved.
ANALYSIS:
City Council members recently completed their performance evaluation of John Gillison. The
performance evaluation covered the period of November 2021 to November 2022. Based on the
overall performance rating from that evaluation, the City Council directed staff to negotiate a
contract amendment to reflect a merit increase in his performance. The proposed contract
amendment would provide a two percent (2%) merit increase. The merit increase is consistent
with the personnel rules as applied to all other city employees. The amendment would also
provide that the City contribute an additional two percent (2%) of the Employee’s base salary into
the Employee’s Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HSA), for a total of 13%. In addition, the
amendment would provide that the City contribute an additional one percent (1%) of the
Employee’s base salary into the employee’s 457 plan. Finally, the amendment would allow Mr.
Gillison, on a one-time basis, to convert up to 160 hours of sick time into vacation time. The
effective date would be the first full pay period after Council approval. This amendment
incorporates those changes and restates the original contract and incorporates all of the previous
amendments into one document.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached amended and restated City
Manager’s contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The changes to the contract will result in an annual increase of $20,100.
