SECTION 3: The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is
statutorily exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under Section 15061 (b)(3) of the
State CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that
this text amendment will not cause a significant effect on the
environment. The City Council has reviewed the Planning
Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own
independent judgment, concurs in the staff's determination of
exemption.
SECTION 4: Chapter 17.02, Section 17.02.140 - Definitions, the definition for

adjacent primary dwelling, school, hospital or church
located on any adjoining site. The location of corrals,
fenced enclosures, barns, stables or other enclosures used
to confine horses shall conform to this requirement. This
setback shall not apply from any adjacent guest house
or second dwelling unit.
SECTION 5: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of
this Ordinance is, for any reason, deemed or held to be invalid or
unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent
jurisdiction, or preempted by legislative enactment, such decision
or legislation shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions
of this Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga hereby declares that it would have adopted this
Ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause,
phrase, or words thereof, regardless of the fact that anyone or
more sections, subsections, clauses, phrases, or words might
subsequently be declared invalid or unconstitutional or preempted
by subsequent legislation.
