I. Introduction
A. Introduction
This document has been prepared to provide the San Bernardino County Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO) and other interested individuals and agencies with
pertinent information relating to governmental functions, facilities, services and costs
and revenues applicable to proposed Annexation No. 04-XX to the City of Rancho
Cucamonga, California.
This annexation proposal has been initiated by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. This
document supports the City's petition by addressing all of the service related
considerations applicable to the property, thereby permitting the LAFCO Staff and
Board Members to fully understand, evaluate and approve the annexation request.
This plan of services addresses the basic level of public services that are required to
support the future development of the properties annexed and the associated
population growth and the manner in which urban and municipal services will be
provided.
The proposed annexation area is located north of Wilson Avenue between East
Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road, in an unincorporated area of San Bernardino
County within the City of Rancho Cucamonga's Sphere of Influence; the area has
been pre-zoned by virtue of the City's adoption of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan
(ENSP) in 1992. The proposed annexation includes a total of 300-acres. Within the
300 acres, only 95 acres has residential development potential — 40 acres located at
the northeast corner of Wilson Avenue and East Avenue, 40 acres located at the
northwest corner of Wilson Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road, and an additional
15 acres located on the west side of Wardman-Bullock Road north of Wilson Avenue.
In addition, the annexation area includes 205-acres of land designated Flood Control
and Open Space/Conservation and Utility Corridor.
There are no specific proposals for development at this time. However, the City has
conducted Environmental Review and a General Plan and Etiwanda North Specific
Plan Amendments to change the residential land use for 80-acres from Very Low
Residential (.1 to 2 dwelling units per acre) to Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units
per acre). Future development of the area could yield approximately 218 dwelling
units, as illustrated in Table 1 below.

B. Project Background
The Etiwanda North Specific Plan comprises approximately 6,840 acres and is
located within the City of Rancho Cucamonga and its Sphere of Influence. The
project site is located within the unincorporated portion of San Bernardino County.
The project includes the annexation of 300-acres from San Bernardino County into
the City of Rancho Cucamonga. As part of the approval process, the City of Rancho
Cucamonga prepared an Initial Study Environmental Checklist to address issues
associated with the Land Use amendments and the annexation.
The existing and uses within the annexation area presently comprised of Flood
Control facilities (Etiwanda Creek basins), vacant land, and one single-family
residence located on Wardman-Bullock Road approximately 2,000 feet north of
Wilson Avenue. The surrounding area is a combination of Flood Control land and
facilities, single-family residential development or land that is being entitled for
single-family development. A summary of surrounding land uses and land use
designations are reflected in Table 2 below.

II. Planning and Statutory Consideration
A. Planning Considerations
The proposed annexation area is contained within the City of Rancho Cucamonga's
Sphere of Influence. The City's General Plan current land use designation for the site
is Very Low Residential (130 acres), Open Space/Conservation (160 acres), and
Utility Corridor (10 acres). Of the 130-acres presently designated Very Low
Residential, 80 acres are proposed for amendment to Low Residential, and 35 acres
are proposed to be amendment to Open Space/Conservation, leaving 15 acres as Very
Low Residential.
The project is also included in the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, adopted by the City
Council on April 1, 1992. At this time the proposed project consists of amendments
to both the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan and the Etiwanda North
Specific, and annexation to the City. No proposals for site-specific development are
being considered at this time.
B. City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan
The City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan designation for the 300-acre project
site is currently shown as Very Low Residential (0.1 to 2 dwelling units per acre) for
130 acres, Open Space Conservation (i.e. Flood Control) for 160 acres, and Utility
Corridor on 10 acres. The General Plan Amendment proposes a change from Very
Low Residential to Low Residential for 80 acres (40-acres located at the northeast
corner of Wilson Avenue and East Avenue; and 40 acres at the northwest comer of
Wilson Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road). In addition, the General Plan
Amendment proposes to change 35 acres from Very Low Residential to Open
Space/Conservation, for a total area of 205 acres designated Open Space
Conservation. A 15-acre portion of the project area will remain as Very Low
Residential.
The proposed Low Residential District is intended as an area for single-family
residential with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet (average lot area of at least
10,000 square feet) and a maximum density of 4 dwelling units per acre; and the Very
Low Residential District is intended as an area for single family residential uses with
a maximum density of up to 2 dwelling units per acre. In addition, the project site is
within the Equestrian/Rural Overlay District. The Overlay District extends generally
north of Banyan Street between the western City limits and Milliken Avenue, and
then north of I-210 Freeway between Milliken Avenue and eastern City limits. The
District allows the keeping of horses and other farm animals.

C. Etiwanda North Specific Plan
The project area is subject to the policies set forth in the Etiwanda North Specific
Plan. The Etiwanda North Specific Plan is a specific area acknowledged in the City's
General Plan subject to land use and community design within the north Etiwanda
area. The Etiwanda North Specific Plan was adopted on April 1, 1992 (Ordinance
493) and comprises of a 6,840 acres within the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the
City's Sphere of Influence. The project is located in Sub Areas 2.3, 6, and 8 of the
Etiwanda North Specific Plan, portions of the Upper Etiwanda and Etiwanda
Highlands neighborhoods.
The Etiwanda North Specific Plan designates the site as Very Low Residential,
Utility Corridor, and Flood Control. The Very Low Residential portion lies along
East Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road; the Flood Control portion lies between the
two residential areas, surrounding the Etiwanda Creek basins and drainage system;
and the Utility Corridor portion lies along a portion of the east-west Southern
California Edison corridor near the northern segment of the annexation area.
The proposed project includes a Specific Plan Amendment that would change the
current designation of Very Low Residential (.1-2 Dwelling Unit per Acre) to Low
Residential (2-4 Dwelling Units per Acre) for 80-acres of the 300-acre annexation
area; and from Very Low Residential to Flood Control for 35-acres. The remainder of
the 300-acre annexation area will remain within the existing land use designations of
Flood Control and Very Low Residential.
D. Applicable Laws
LAFCO is authorized and mandated by State law as the agency responsible for
evaluating and approving annexations to an incorporated city. Subsequent to the
initial consideration of an annexation request by the City, a public hearing is held
before the LAFCO Board where the annexation proposal is approved, denied, or
modified. The following Protest Procedures for LAFCO proceedings are outlined in
California Government Code (within Section 57000) and summarized in the LAFCO
Procedures and Guidelines.
1. Following a LAFCO Commission action to approve an annexation, a resolution of
that action is forwarded to affected agencies and individuals. Thirty days
following the LAFCO Commission action the Protest Period is announced though
a combination of publication of a legal advertisement in the local newspaper and
through mailing of individual notices to anyone who has previously request such
notices. The protest period can be no less than 15 days nor more than 60 days,
from the date of the announcement. All protests must follow strict LAFCO
requirements, but generally they must be in writing and be received during the
protest period. The protest must also indicate whether the letter is from a
landowner and/or a registered voter from within the annexation area; only those
10
Plan for Services
Resolution No. 04-151
Page 17 of 25
that are either a landowner and/or a registered voter form within the annexation
area are eligible to submit a valid protest.
2. At the conclusion of the protest period, LAFCO staff will make a finding of the
results of any protests received for adoption by the LAFCO Commission. The
Commission must take one of the following actions based on the result of the
protest findings:
a. For uninhabited annexations (<12 registered voters within the annexation
area) the Commission must either:
• terminate the annexation if protest is received from 50% or more of the
assessed value of land owners (improvement values are not counted)
within the annexation area; or
• approve the annexation if written protest is submitted by landowners
who own less than 50% of the assessed value of the annexation area.
b. For inhabited annexations (>12 registered voters within the annexation area)
the Commission must either:
• terminate the annexation if protest is received from 50% or more of the
registered voters in the annexation area;
• call an election if protest is received from at least 25% and less than
50% of the registered voters, or if 25% to 100% of the number of
landowners —who own at least 25% of the total annexation land value —
submit a written protest [The voters (whether they own land or not)
would then decide the issue by majority vote in a special election]; or
• approve the annexation without an election if written protest is received
from less than 25% of the voters and less than 25% of the landowners
(owning less than 25% of the land value).
The above referenced requirements also require the submittal of a plan for services
for areas to be annexed. This document satisfies this statutory requirement.

. Service Considerations
A. Roadways and Transportation Services
The proposed development is not located within any Transit Service Corridor.
Primary access will be provided via Wilson Avenue, East Avenue and Wardman-
Bullock Road. The annexation area is located on the north side of Wilson Avenue
between East Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road.
The proposed project does not include any specific proposals for development at his
time. However, based on the analysis in the Environmental Checklist, future
development of the residentially-zoned properties (95 acres total) will require
improvements to East Avenue, Wilson Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road at the
time of development to accommodate vehicles traveling to and from the site. The
future residential projects will be required to provide street improvements (curb,
gutter and sidewalk) along all street frontages of the site and within the project, as
well as the completion of Wilson Avenue between East Avenue and Wardman-
Bullock Road. The City of Rancho Cucamonga will assume responsibility for street
maintenance of public arterial roadways within the annexation area.
B. Electricity
The proposed annexation area lies within the service boundaries of the Southern
California Edison Company (SCE). SCE has indicated that the demands associated
with the project are accommodated within their master planning efforts and service
can be extended to the site.
The costs and rate structure to the property owners for these services are controlled by
the Public Utilities Commission. As these services are provided by private
companies on a user-pays-all fees basis, no additional costs to the City would be
incurred due to annexation. Assuming buildout of the approximately 218 lots,
electrical consumption for the project site, based on SCE designated criteria, is
estimated as follows:
218 dwellings X 7kw/unit = 1,526 kw per month; or 18,312 kw annually.
C. Natural Gas
Natural Gas is provided by The Gas Company. The Gas Company maintains natural
gas pipelines in Etiwanda Avenue and Wardman-Bullock Road. Natural gas service
will be provided via extensions of these existing transmission pipelines. The Gas
Company anticipates no problems in extending service to the site and has included
the project in its master planning efforts.
12
Plan for Services
Resolution No. 04-151
Page 19 of 25
The costs and rate structure to the property owners for these services are controlled by
the Public Utilities Commission. As these services are provided by private
companies on a user-pays-all fees basis, no additional costs to the City would be
incurred due to annexation. Annual gas consumption upon development of the site is
estimated to be about 85 therms per unit per average month, for a total of 18,530
therms per month or 222,360 therms per year.
D. Telephone Services.
The telephone service to the project site is provided by Verizon Communications.
The facilities will be extended from Etiwanda Avenue or Wardman-Bullock Road
into the respective developable areas of the project site. Verizon anticipates no
problems in providing communication services to the project site.
E. Drainage Services
The majority of the drainage from the annexation area will continue to surface drain
to Etiwanda Creek. Future development proposals will be required to convey
drainage to the City storm drain system. All streets will be designed to accommodate
storm waters that could exceed the top of curbs in the event of a 25-year storm as well
as the right-of- way for a 100-year storm. All necessary facilities will be localized in
nature and will be inspected and maintained by the City of Rancho Cucamonga
Engineering Division.
The County of San Bernardino Flood Control District is responsible for the
maintenance of the Etiwanda Creek channel and basin system, which lies within the
mid-portion of the project site. The San Bernardino Flood Control District has
planned improvements to the Etiwanda Creek Basin system beginning DATE, with
expected completion DATE. Channel and basin improvements have been designed to
capture all flows entering the creek and conveying the flows and then offsite. .
F. Water Services
The Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) covers approximately 50 square
miles, and provides water treatment, storage, and distribution of domestic water to all
of Rancho Cucamonga, adjacent unincorporated County areas, and portions of the
Cities of Ontario, Fontana and one tract in Upland. CVWD derives water from three
sources — groundwater (43%), surface water (12%) and imported water (45%).
Groundwater is derived primarily from the Cucamonga basin. Groundwater may also
be pumped from the Chino basin, but must be replenished through purchases of State
Water Project (imported) water. Canyon water is derived from surface and
subsurface water form Cucamonga, Deer, Day, and East Etiwanda Canyons. CVWD
13
IPlan for Services
Resolution No. 04-151
Page 20 of 25
also purchases water from northern California via the State Water Project. The
current daily usage in the CVWD service area is approximately 42 million gallons per
day.
Residential water use amounts to 60 percent of the total water consumed, followed by
landscaping at 20 percent. CVWD's master plan estimates demand needs through the
year 2030; with residential water demand is expected to continue to be the greatest
sources of water demand. CVWD anticipates growth by ensuring that adequate
facilities are available to meet the water demand as it arises. CVWD is also one of
seven member agencies that operate under the umbrella of the Inland Empire Utilities
Agency (IEUA). The IEUA had adopted a 10-year growth or capital improvement
program that is based upon growth projections provided by the member agencies.
CVWD is responsible for collecting developer fees for the construction and operation
of water facilities.
The CVWD will supply domestic water to the site. The site currently contains one
exisisitng single-family residence, and which can be assumed to use approximately
640 gallons per day. The remainder of the site is undeveloped. Water is currently
provided to the area by a 12-inch main located along Wardman-Bullock Road located
along the east boundary of the proposed annexation area.
The proposed annexation area holds the potential for approximately 218 single-family
residences to be connected to the CVWD domestic water system. Single-family
residential units have a daily water demand of 640 gallons per day (GPD). Thus, the
project will result in an increased water demand of the CVWD system of 139,520
GPD. This represents a less than one percent increase in water currently demanded
from existing development within the City.
G. Sewer Services
The Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) currently covers over 240 square miles
and operates four wastewater treatment facilities that serve the cities of Rancho
Cucamonga, Fontana, Ontario, Upland, Montclair, Chino, and Chino Hills. An
additional treatment facility is currently planned. Two of the exisisitng treatment
plants, Regional Plants 1 and 4, serve development within the City of Rancho
Cucamonga. CVWD provides conveyance facilities to the treatment plants. The
project site is with the service area of treatment plant number 4 (RP-4). RP-4 is
located on 6`h Street and Etiwanda Avenue in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
plant treats approximately 37.9 million gallons per day (MGD) of wastewater and has
a capacity of 44 MGD. The water treatment facilities cleanse the treated water to a
tertiary level and is then used for irrigation proposed. Development fees are collected
by member agencies for wastewater treatment facilities and passed on to the IEUA to
use for new treatment plant construction.
14
Plan for Services
Resolution No. 04-151
Page 21 of 25
With the exception of extending pipelines to the project site, there will be no
requirement for the construction of a new water or wastewater treatment facilities or
expansion of existing facilities. The future projects will connect to the existing sewer
lines in the surrounding area.
Based on the CVWD Master Plan and IEUA estimates, wastewater generation in the
project area is approximately 270 gallons of wastewater per unit per day. Therefore,
the 218 residential units proposed will generate approximately 58,860 gallons of
sewage per day. This represents less than one percent of current wastewater treated at
RP-4, and will not exceed capacity of the plant.
In addition, the proposed project will comply with all regional Water Quality Control
Board wastewater treatment requirements and will obtain required NPDES (National
Pollution Discharge Elimination Systems) and SWPPP (Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan)permits prior to project construction.
H. Police Services
The City of Rancho Cucamonga has contracted with the San Bernardino County
Sheriffs Department for police service since 1978. Currently the City contract
includes 93 uniformed officers — including 11 sergeants, 2 lieutenants and one
captain. With a population of 146,700 (January 2003 Department of Finance
estimate) the current ratio of officers to residents is approximately 0.63 officers for
every 1,000 residents. The projected average response time to an emergency call for
serviced within the vicinity of the project site is at five minutes.
The City's Police Department is temporarily located at 8340 Utica Avenue in the City
of Rancho Cucamonga, the permanent facility at 10510 Civic Center Drive, adjacent
to City Hall, is currently being expanded and remodeled.
Police service calls will incrementally increase as result of the proposed project. The
proposed project will increase population by approximately 685 residents thus
creating the need for approximately 0.43 additional officers if the current
officer/resident ratio is maintained. The funds for additional police officers are
provided as part of the City General Fund. Each year the City's annual budget
negotiation with the Sheriffs department results in additional officers to be added to
the Police force.
I. Fire Protection & Emergency Medical Response
The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (RCFPD) provides fire protection
and emergency medical response to approximately 50 square miles, which includes
the City Sphere of influence and the project site. Six fire stations are located within

the City; and the RCFPD currently maintains a personnel ratio of 0.18 firefighter per
1,000 residents. The goal of of RCFPD is to provide a five-minute response time for
90 percent of emergency calls placed within the City. Currently the City is providing
five-minute service for 85 percent of the emergency calls. Existing fire stations 173,
175 and 176 will serve the project area.
Station 173— 12158 Base Line Road (3 fire fighters)
Station 175 — 11108 Banyan Avenue (6 firefighters)
Station 176 —East Avenue at 23`d Street—(3 firefighters)
The proposed project will incrementally increase the population in the vicinity by 685
residents thus creating the need for 0.12 additional firefighter personnel in order to
maintain the current firefighter personnel/resident ratio. With the recent opening of
Station 176, located approximately one-mile from the site, the current response times
will continue to be less than five—minutes to the project site.
The RCFPD alsoartici ates in an automatic response agreement,reement, known as West
P P P
End Joint Power Authority (West End), with neighboring fire departments to send the
closest fire engine to a reported structure fire without regard to the city boundaries.
The American Medical Response (AMR), a private ambulance service, provides
ambulance service for the residents in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. AMR is
located at 7925 Center Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga.
J. Libraries
The Rancho Cucamonga Public Library system will serve the project area upon
annexation. The Rancho Cucamonga Library is located in a 2,200 square foot
building in the City of Rancho Cucamonga on Archibald Avenue, north of Interstate
10 Freeway and west of Interstate 15 Freeway. The Library contains approximately
115,000 books (novels, magazines, references, etc,) and serves a full-time population
of over 146,000 residents. In addition, the City has planned a new library within the
Victoria Gardens regional shopping center of approximately 22,000 square feet,
which serve the projected need at build-out of the City.
Library funding is derived form a percentage of the property tax allocation and
disbursement with the County of San Bernardino (refer to the Fiscal Impact
Analysis).
K. Street Lighting
The project presently does not contain any streetlights, however, will be required to
install streetlights with development. The project will be annexed to the City of

Rancho Cucamonga's existing City-wide Arterial Street lighting District, and the
Etiwanda North Street Light District.
L. Solid Waste
Burrtec Waste Industries will collect refuse from the project area under franchise
agreement with the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Burrtec takes all refuse collected to
the Transfer Station of Napa Street, at which point approximately 60% to diverted to
the Mid-Valley land fill in Rialto, the remaining refuse is transported out of the
county landfill system.
The City has implemented recycling programs, as required by state law, local Source
Reduction and Recycling Element.
M. School Services
The annexation area will be served by the Etiwanda School District (grades K
through 8) and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District (grades 9 through 12).
Based on the generation factors used by the Etiwanda School District, the area will
generate approximately 140 K-8 and 30 high school students from the 218 new
homes. Approximately 95 of these students would be would be elementary level (K-
5) and 45 would be intermediate level (grades 6-8). The total students generated
would be approximately 170.
Historical enrollments in both Chaffey Joint Union High School District and the
Etiwanda Elementary School District have increased dramatically over the past 10
years. Historical student generation data from the districts indicate the project could
generate an addition of approximately 170 students at build out, based on a total of
0.78 students per household.
At present enrollments at all schools serving the project are at or over their capacities.
However, recent changes in school financing laws indicate that payment of state-
mandated developer impact fees represent full and complete mitigation under CEQA,
regardless of the enrollment to capacity conditions of the affected schools.
N. Parks and Recreation Services
The City of Rancho Cucamonga Community Services Department serves the
surrounding parks and recreation facilities. The recreational amenities and programs
include - Community Center at Lions East and Lions West, Senior Center, Family
Sports Center, Epicenter/Sports Complex, and 20 park sites throughout the City. All

IV. Fiscal Analysis
The project will be annexed to the City of Rancho Cucamonga's existing Landscape
Maintenance District No. 7 for perimeter street landscape maintence, the City-wide
Arterial Street lighting District, and the Etiwanda North Street Light District.
A Fiscal Impact Analysis has been prepared on behalf of the City addressing the general
costs and revenue anticipated as a result of the annexation. The report "300-Acre Fiscal
Impact Analysis City of Rancho Cucamonga" by Stanley Hoffman Associates, Inc. forms
a part of the Plan of Services as an exhibit. By its inclusion into Plan of Services, the
City certifies to the report's accuracy.
