AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA,
CALIFORNIA, REPEALING CHAPTER 9.34 OF THE RANCHO
CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE TO END THE NARCOTICS
AND GANG-RELATED CRIME EVICTION PROGRAM, AND
MAKING A DETERMINATION THAT THE ORDINANCE IS
EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
ACT
I. Recitals.
A. The City of Rancho Cucamonga ("City") has not enforced the Narcotics and
Gang-Related Crime Eviction Program ("Program'), found at Rancho Cucamonga Municipal
Code Chapter 9.34, in many years due to legal questions surrounding the Program.
B. The City Council desires to repeal the Chapter 9.34 in light of the fact that the
City has not enforced, and does not intend to enforce, the Program going forward.
11. Findings.
A. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City Council finds that adoption of this Ordinance is covered by general
rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on
the environment. The City Council finds that there is no possible significant effect directly related
to adoption of this Ordinance, therefore no further action is required under CEQA pursuant to
Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR§ 15061(b)(3)). This is because this
Ordinance will result in no potential development that could have an environmental impact.

sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance for any reason be held invalid or

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.
SECTION 3. Neither the adoption of this Ordinance nor the repeal of any other Ordinance
of this City shall in any manner affect the prosecution for violations of ordinances, which violations
