B. ITEMS OF DISCUSSION
B1. DISCUSSION OF RELATIONS REGARDING CITY POLICY, HOW INTERPRETED AND DIRECTED
Mayor Alexander stated over the years, it has always been a difference of opinion how projects were perceived,
reiewed and approved. He felt the job of the Planning Commission was to keep the Council on line with
development. He realized that there is a lot of dedication and commitment involved from the Commissioners.
He hoped the Commission and Council can discuss how they really feel about issues. He continued to point
out that the Council only has two weeks to reach a decision on an issue, while the Planning Commission has
had weeks and months to study and vote on something. He also added he heard many good comments at the
ICSC Conference in Las Vegas about the Planning Commission and the plan of the City.
Chairman Barker stated he has always understood that the Council has the authority to overturn the Planning
Commission's decision. He felt the role of the Planning Commission was to make recommendations to the
Council for their consideration. He pointed out that all of the master plans and specific plans are not cast in
concrete and can be changed if needed. Mr. Barker said that the citizens developed a plan and that we used
to brag about being "the City with a plan." He expressed concern that comprehensive long term planning is in
danger. He stated the Planning Commission and staff needs to be able to be concerned with planning issues
and not have to attempt to interpret politics or count votes and determine whether there is a special relationship
each time a particular developer or individual appears. He felt there has always been a coordinated effort
City Council/Planning Commission Minutes
May 29, 1996
Page 2
between the Council and the Planning Commission, and that when a Commission decision is overturned they
could use this as a guideline for the future. He felt the City needs to continue to work towards a vision. He
stated there is no challenge or question about the authority of the Council, but that the Planning Commission
needs to know what direction the Council is headed.
Councilmember Curatalo stated he felt the Planning Commission should continue their good work and that he
is totally satisfied with the job they are doing. He stated if there is a problem, that possibly they need to look
inward to see if it is the Council creating it.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he is proud to be raising his family here. He realized there is going to be
differences of opinion. He pointed out how the golf course and the Epicenter were not originally in the plan,
but have now proved to be very successful. He felt the City should be very selective in what is being developed
on Foothill towards the I15 Freeway. He felt Lewis was treated differently, and wished that all developers knew
the rules going in and that they were all treated fairly. He felt the Foothill Corridor needed to be revisited. He
stated this is not political and that he just wants to do the right thing. He stated he is not against anyone and
felt the Planning Commission has done a good job. He felt it was more difficult for the small or mid-size
business to come into the City than a larger business. He felt the Council needed to be flexible but still have
a vision for the City. He realized there are differences, but nothing that could not be overcome. He stated his
main concern is Foothill Boulevard.
Councilmember Williams stated the Planning Commission has always been selected because they were the
best to do a big job. She stated she would never want the Planning Commission to be "yes" people for the
Council. She stated just because there is a difference of opinion does not mean they are not doing a good job
or their job at all. She felt sometimes the Council mixes people into a situation instead of the information the
Planning Commission looks at. She agreed with Councilmember Gutierrez that everyone needs to be flexible.
She stated she definitely does not want the Planning Commission to be "yes" people to whatever the Council
would want.
Councilmember Biane stated he stands behind the hard work the Planning Commission did in creating the
General Plan. He felt flexibility was very important. He felt the Council was more people oriented because they
are elected, whereas the Planning Commission is just looking at the facts. He felt Foothill Boulevard from
Haven to Etiwanda should be full retail and that this was his vision.
Commissioner McNiel thanked the Council for getting this meeting together. He felt there is more of a division
between the Planning Commission and the City Council than there ever has been. He stated if the Council
has a change of goals, then the General Plan needs to be changed to reflect this. He stated he did not feel
the Planning commission process is any more or less arduous than any other one in the City. He stated he
hears the Council is constantly "beating up" the Planning Commission, and added that he did not agree with
this. He felt the approval of the Masi and Wohl projects were a step down in standards when approved, but that
the golf course and Price Club center was a step up. He stated the Lewis' do not get special treatment, and
that he did not think small businesses were being treated poorly, just being held to standards. He asked that
the Council at least read the Planning Commission meeting minutes before making their decision. He stated
when he has come to a Council meeting to speak it is because he wants the Council to get the full picture of
the issue.
Commissioner Tolstoy wanted to know what standards the Wohl project will be held to. He felt Rancho
Cucamonga was the jewel of the Valley because of the standards that have been set. He felt the Planning
Commission needed to hear from the Council if the Wohl project will be held to previously approved standards,
or are those standards coming down and exceptions made.
Councilmember Biane felt the Wohl project will be held to current standards.
Councilmember Gutierrez felt standards should be kept as they have always been.

Commissioner Lumpp realized that the Council is the final decision maker. He stated the Council needs to
give the Planning Commission direction in order for them to make their decisions for the future. He felt if the
goals of the Council are not in the General Plan, then it needs to be changed. He stated some people from
the Council have worked hard to get the quality of life in the City that everyone enjoys.
Commissioner Tolstoy felt Foothill Boulevard should be revisited and that the Council allocated the funds to
do this. He felt spot decisions never have worked and that the whole plan should be looked at.
Councilmember Gutierrez felt the General Plan, if looked at, should focus on Foothill Boulevard.
Commissioner McNiel stated he did not know why the Lube business ever got approved for the site and that
it would create a real problem.
Commissioner Tolstoy agreed.
Chairman Barker stated he had been told over and over again by Masi that they had votes by the Council to
get their changes approved for their project.
Commissioner McNiel commended the Planning Department staff for their expertise, customer service and
good job they always do. He stated he had heard from Masi that they just wanted to get through the planning
process so they could hurry up to get to the Council to get their projec! approved how they wanted it.
Councilmember Biane felt the developer not only played a political game with the Council, but also with the
Planning Commission.
Commissioner Lumpp felt all builders should start a project at the standards that are set and if they have a
reason to change the standards he would listen to them then.
Commissioner McNiel asked the Council if they have ever told him how to vote on a project, and then asked
them how many times they have ever called him to ask questions about a project. He stated he does not feel
comfortable with appeals when they go to the Council. He felt things were deteriorating.
Councilmember Biane stated he totally disagreed.
Councilmember Curatalo stated he felt something is wrong some place when the Council overturns the
Planning Commission five times.
Councilmember Gutjerrez stated he did not feel the Council and the Planning Commission were on the same
page.
Commissioner McNiel stated if the Planning Commission is going in the wrong direction then they need to know
this.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked Commissioner McNiel what his vision was for Foothill Boulevard.
Commissioner McNiel stated Office and Light Commercial with ancillary services because that is what the
General Plan states.
Chairman Barker stated the Planning Commission has to go by the rules of the General Plan.
Councilmember Curatalo concurred that the Planning Commission is to follow the General Plan and that is their
guidance.

Mayor Alexander commented that it can also be changed if needed.
Commissioner Tolstoy stated if the vision has changed, then that needs to be stated. He pointed out there is
a lot of vacant centers on Foothill already built.
Councilmember Biane stated he felt all commercial centers go through periods where there might be vacancies
or there are transitions.
Councilmember Curatalo stated he is satisfied with the Planning Commission's work and felt they should stay
on course.
Councilmember Gutjerrez stated he is very satisfied with the direction the City is taking although he disagrees
with some of the steps taken to approve a project. He feels everyone should go by the same standards. He
stated he values the quality of life in Rancho Cucamonga like everyone else does, and did not want anyone to
think he did not care and was only making political decisions. He felt it was a good idea to get together and look
at the General Plan so that everyone is on the same page. He stated he hopes that the Planning Commission
will give the Council the benefit of the doubt as he will try to give them.
Councilmember Williams felt the General Plan needed to be looked at, including the Foothill Corridor. She felt
there were some awful stdp centers along Foothill Boulevard and wondered how the standards were set. She
stated she didn't think that standards were always applied evenly. She didn't feel standards should be cut, but
left as they are. She also commented that Foothill Boulevard should be looked at.
Mayor Alexander felt everyone on the Council should draft their concerns about the General Plan and that they
should possibly be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review in order to make modifications to it. He
suggested a land use consultant look at what the Council comes up with before the changes are made.
Councilmember Williams did not feel they should keep saying "change" the General Plan, but that they should
say "revisit" the General Plan.
Councilmember Biane felt the Planning Commission should keep on saying "no" to people when something
isn't going to work and also treat them with respect. He also felt the General Plan should be revisited. He
stated he did not know if a land use consultant was really needed.
Commissioner Tolstoy stated he did not feel the staff had the time to review the Council's changes in order to
change the General Plan.
Jack Lam, City Manager, pointed out there is a lot involved in changing the General Plan and a lot of things that
need to be considered. He felt infrastructure needed to be looked at and other various elements.
Councilmember Williams felt the 4th Street area should also be looked at.
Commissioner McNiel stated if the direction is changing he would appreciate the Council letting the Planning
Commission know.
Chairman Barker felt when the Planning Commission is ovedurned that it is sending a message to them and
that is something for them to consider and incorporate.
Commissioner Lumpp felt there is a change in direction, and that he likes the idea of revisiting the General Plan.
He stated his intention is not to relax standards. He asked for the Council's support when the Planning
Commission does make a decision so there is not a perceived division.

Ron Austin, resident, stated he has been here two years and originally was in the Long Beach area
where he was heavily involved in youth development, especially basketball. He stated he has put
together an All Star basketball team that he enters into leagues all over Southern California. He felt
this was a way to keep kids off of drugs, and that he requires high academic standards for participation
on the team. He stated the team is doing well, but he felt he was at a disadvantage because the other
teams in the leagues were able to practice on indoor basketball courts, where they could not. He
stated he has spoken with several schools, including Chaffey College, but was not having much
success in locating a facility, and asked for the Council's help.

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
STAFF REPORT
DATE: August 7, 1996
TO:
Mayor and Members of the City Council
Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager
FROM:
James C. Frost, City Treasurer
By:
Linda D. Daniels, Interim Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:
APPROVAL TO ADOPT ANNUAL STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT
POLICY
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the annual Statement of Investment Policy for the
City of Rancho Cucamonga.
BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted a Statement of Investment Policy in July 1987. California Government
Code, Section 53646, requires the City Treasurer to annually render a written Statement of
Investment Policy to the City Council. Further, the City Council must consider the policy at a public
meeting. Any changes to the investment policy must also be considered by the City Council at a
public meeting.
Senate Bills 564 and 866 went into effect January 1, 1996. Provisions of these bills are set forth
under sections entitled "Permitted Investments/Deposits-Repurchase Agreements (Repos)" and
"Reporting" which affect the local level have been included on the attached Statement of Investment
Policy. Staff has always maintained an investment policy even more conservative than that allowed
under state law. As a result the City has not experienced investment difficulties such as those in
Orange County. The attached policy removes investment instruments that could be deemed "risky."
The policy has been thoroughly reviewed by the City Treasurer and staff.
Respectfully submitted,
JF/LDD/pm
attachment
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
PURPOSE
This statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City's temporary
idle cash, and outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management
system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled
cash.
OBJECTIVE
The City of Rancho Cucamonga operates its temporary pooled idle cash investment under the
Prudent Man Rule (Civil Code Section 2261, et. seq.).* This affords the City a broad spectrum of
investment opportunities as long as the investment is deemed prudent and is allowable under current
legislation of the State of California (Government Code Section 53600, et. seq.) and other legal
restrictions as the City may impose from time to time.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS - Security purchases and holdings should be maintained within
statutory limits imposed by the Government Code. City policy has been to limit investments more
stringently than allowed under state law.
Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:
Safety - The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss
of principal, interest, or combination thereof. The City only operates in those
investments that are considered very safe.
,
Liquidity - This refers to the ability to "cash in" at any moment in time with minimal
chance of losing some portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an important
investment quality especially when the need for unexpected funds occasionally
OCCtlrS.
Yield - Yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide, and is
sometimes described as the rate of retum. Yield should become a consideration only
after the basic requirements of safety and liquidity have been met.
Diversification - The purpose of diversifying is to reduce the overall portfolio risks while attaining
an average market rate of return; therefore, it needs to be conceptualized in terms of maturity,
instrument types and issuer. The portfolio should consist of a mix of various types of securities,
issuers, and maturities.
Statement of Investment Policy
Page 2
Safekeeping - Securities purchased from brokers/dealers shall be held in third party

compatibility with existing land uses in the surrounding area; and
b. That the proposed amendment would not have significant impacts
on the environment nor the surrounding properties; and
c. That the proposed amendment is in conformance'with the General

CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Ordinances.
BACKGROUND:
In February 1996 several citizens testified before this City Council about their concerns of lack
of landscape maintenance in their neighborhoods. Following that testimony staff was directed by
the City Council to develop new language in the Municipal Code pertaining to standards for
landscaping in residential areas. Working through an Ad Hoc Committee appointed by the
Mayor, which included Councilman Guiterrez, Councilman Curatalo, residents and staff, that
language is before you tonight in the attached ordinances. The proposed language has been
reviewed by the City Attorney's Office
Prior to coming before you the Planning Commission held an advertised public hearing on June

DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 96-03 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA -
A request to amend Title 17, Chapter 17.08 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal
Code pertaining to the addition of property maintenance standards for landscaping.
BACKGROUND: In February 1996, following testimony from several concerned citizens, staff was
directed by the City Council to develop new language in the Municipal Code pertaining to property
maintenance standards for landscaping in residential areas.
The attached resolution and ordinance with the amended language addressing those concerns is
being submitted to the Planning Commission for review. This language was developed by an ad
hoc committee made up of two City Council Members, members of the community, and staff. The
language has also been re;viewed by the City Attorney's office.
ANALYSIS: Currently the Municipal Code does not require landscaping in residential
developments. This has created problems for Code Enforcement when complaints have been
received regarding lack of landscape maintenance. The language proposed in the attached
ordinance, when adopted into the Municipal Code, will address these problems by requiring
landscaping in front, side, and rear yards visible from a public right-of-way and maintenance of that
landscaping by the property owner. The proposed language was written in a manner that does not
require a specific type of landscaping.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached
Resolution recommending approval of Development Code Amendment 96-03.

DR_AFT'- FOR DISCUSSION ONLY
DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 96-03 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A
request to amend Title 17, Chapter 17,08 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code
pertaining to the addition of property maintenance standards for landscaping.
Bill Makshanoff, Building Official, presented the staff report.
Vice Chairman McNiel questioned the interpretation of "substantial."
Mr. Makshanoff stated that he had discussed this item with the City Attorney's office. He felt
that the term "substantial," meaning a considerable amount, was somewhat ambiguous and
subjective. He defined "substantial" as being the majority of a yard visible from the public right
of way.
Vice Chairman McNiel asked if this code amendment was enforceable.
Mr. Makshanoff responded that the City Attorney had indicated in the affirmative.
Commissioner Lumpp asked for a clarification by saying that putting in landscaping is not so
much the issue, but rather maintaining what is already there so that it doesn't cause
deterioration in the neighborhood and devalue property.
Mr. Makshanoff concurred. He further stated that the problem has been that the code has not
required landscaping to begin with so that as long as a homeowner did not let it go to weeds,
they would be in compliance.
Commissioner Melcher said that a homeowner doesn't have to landscape his yard, but if he
does landscape it, he has to maintain it under current code.
Chairman Barker opened the public hearing.
Hyman Gibson, 6830 Mango Street, Rancho Cucamonga, stated that he represents a group of
neighbors who had been speaking to the City on behalf of this ordinance for the last six months.
He went on to say that this group has been trying to encourage people to at least do something
to their land to maintain property values in the neighborhood. He indicated that one of the
neighbors in their area has a tendency not to care for their property and that the group of
neighbors he was representing had gotten together and offered their help, which was refused.
He further stated that when they turned to the City, they were told there was nothing that could
be done. Mr. Gibson and the neighbors he represents feel that the proposed amendment
would help them to help the neighbors and perhaps "poke" them into compliance. He further
stated that the City of Rancho Cucamonga makes a real effort to make the main streets look
nice and his group would like the same effort at the neighborhood level.
Commissioner Melcher asked if Mr. Gibson's group had worked with the City on the wording of
the ordinance.
Mr. Gibson responded affirmatively and said that the group he represents had petitioned and
talked to other neighbors regarding their concerns.
Chairman Barker closed the public hearing.

DRAFT- FOR DISCUSSION ONLY
Commissioner Melcher stated that this was particularly interesting to him due to the fact that a
fellow employee was interested in the proposed amendment. He went on to say that she and
her husband live next door to one of the situations that this ordinance is designed to combat.
He disclosed that he had taken the liberty of having her look over the amendment and believes
this is a step in the right direction. Commissioner Melcher stated that he will support the
amendment.
Commissioner Lumpp asked if he had a front yard full of green weeds, would he be in
"substantial" compliance with the landscaping requirement?
Ralph Hanson, Deputy City Attorney, responded that tonight's amendment would set a
minimum standard to begin discussion with neighbors and Code Enforcement. He went on to
say that the City is not looking for a law to put people in jail and that if it ever came to court it
would be a difficult matter. He indicated that it would be used in extreme situations and would
be controlled by very detailed and elaborate facts. Mr. Hanson disclosed that those issues of a
"substantial" nature would be addressed on a case-by-case basis and to do anything other than
that would be to create an impossible bureaucracy. He concluded by saying that it would just
become an annoyance for everyone.
Commissioner McNiel felt that this issue was what the California initiative process was designed
for. He supported the amendment.
Motion: Moved by McNiel, seconded by Lumpp, to adopt the resolution recommending approval
of Development Code Amendment 96-03.

is hoping this principle applies to politics itself.
SCAG, which is made up of local elected officials from
Los Angeles, Orange, Venturn. Imperial, Riverside and
San Bernardino counties, is planning what it hopes is
the fLrst of many congressional leadership conferences
for the often-fractured Southern California delegation.
The idea is simple enough: Bring the 30 members of
the delegation together under one roof and get them to
put aside partisanship for the sake of unifying around
key issues and projects that benefit the region.
The timing of the summit in downtown Los Angeles is
rather ironic: Aug. 19, the eye of the political whirlwind
between the Democratic and Republican national con-
ventions. But maybe, just maybe, the timing will prove
to be what makes the meeting successful.
Perhaps it will serve as a
sanctuary, a safe house of
reason amid furious partisan AT ISSUE:
warfare.
How can dissension
SCAG officials, among
them Torrance Councilman among the region's
George Nakano, point out Congress members
that disunity in the delega- be reduced?
tion in past years has result-
ed in California losing key scientific projects, such as the
superconducting supercollider and a national earth-
quake center. These federal projects went to states with
more aggressive, unified delegations.
SCAG proposes that the delegation commit itself to
several efforts that will bolster the region's economic
health. These are:
· Reauthorization of the intermodal Surface Transpor-
tation Efficiency Act, which will shape future transpor-
tation projects designed to improve air quality and re-
duce congestion.
· Continued funding of the Alameda Corridor, which
will fuel the region's international trade business into
the next century.
· Standing fLrm against the dosing of military instal-
lations in the region. That's essential, considering the
number of hits Southern California bases have taken in
the 1990s.
· Working to assure that the economic benefits of the
North American Free Trade Agreement are realized.
SCAG's idea of identifying key issues that the delega-
tion should pursue free of partisan bickering makes a lot
of sense. A consensus, we believe, could also be reached
in helping the region's aerospace industry take a bigger
role in space exploration and space-based technologies.
We urge all the Congress members in the coastal Los
Angeles area -- Anthony Beilenson, Julian Dixon, Juani-
ta Millender-McDonald, Maxine Waters, Jane Harman,
Steve Horn and Henry Waxman -- to attend the SCAG
conference next month.
