P1 STAF'P REPORT ~- , - ~ RANCHO CUCAMONGA POLICE DEPARTMENT RANCHO Date: March 12, 2012 CUCAMONGA To: Mayor and Members of the City Council John R. Gillison, City Manager ~~ From: Mike Newcombe, Police Chief By: Steve Smith, Police Lieutenant Subject: APPROVAL TO IMPLEMENT AN ACTION PLAN TO PROTECT PRIVATE AND PUBLIC PROPERTY RIGHTS ON LANDS BORDERING CUCAMONGA CANYON RECOMMENDATION The Police Department recommends that the City Council direct staff to post signs limiting the unlawful access to trails which traverse across private property, eliminate the off-roadway parking area on Almond Street, and use police resources for public education and the enforcement of laws within the Cucamonga Canyon area of the city. BACKGROUND ANALYSIS There have been a growing number of complaints by residents of the neighborhoods surrounding Cucamonga Canyon. The Police Department has tracked activity in this area and found there have been a significant number of vehicle burglaries, reports of trespassing, and parking violations, as well as several complaints of vandalism and littering. This activity is believed to be predominately attributed to visitors attempting to access the canyon by unauthorized routes. The Police Department believes the bulk of unlawful activity can be mitigated by curtailing unlawful access to the canyon. Public education is a key component to crime prevention. Signs are part of the notification and education equation. No Trespassing signs would be posted by the City at the entrance to unauthorized trails and would notify visitors that use of these trails is unlawful. No Canyon Access signs would be posted at designated roadway sites and would notify visitors that there is not an authorized route to the canyon from those locations. Police resources would be used to make public notification of lawful and unlawful means of canyon access through social media sites. Elimination of the graded off-road parking area on Almond Street and reverting back to traditional street parking where permitted would reduce available parking by about 100 cars but would still allow about 80 cars to legally park on the roadway. This would, in theory, significantly reduce trespassing and unnecessary foot traffic through neighborhoods that are not located near authorized canyon trails. The Police Department would follow these actions with increased enforcement in the area by utilizing traditional patrols, equestrian patrols and off-road vehicles. Enforcement action would have a minimal fiscal impact on city resources. Together, the combination of enhanced signage and public education, reduced parking, and stepped up enforcement activities is designed to reduce nuisance and criminal activity in the neighborhoods surrounding Cucamonga Canyon. STAFF REPORT hIs1NNING DEPART i~1ENT Date: March 12, 2012 To: Mayor and Members of the City Council John R. Gillison, City Manager From: James R. Troyer AICP, Planning Director J~ RANCHO C,UCAMONGA Subject: RANCHO CUAMONGA COMMUNITY MEETING -TRAIL CONNECTIVITY BACKGROUND: The objective of our planned trails system is to provide a network of interconnecting off-road trails that are integrated with recreation and open space areas within and outside our borders. The hiking and riding trails are also intended to connect to our residential and commercial activity centers, as well as our system of on-street bicycle trails. Hiking and riding trails serve primarily for recreation purposes -horseback riding, hiking, jogging, running, and walking for pleasure. Such trails may also incorporate bicycling in their design (both for street bikes and mountain bikes) where feasible. The regional trails traversing the commercial and industrial areas of our City also provide a safe and convenient opportunity for bicycling to work or to shop. The ultimate system of hiking and riding trials will provide over 242 miles of recreational enjoyment throughout the community and open space areas in our Sphere of Influence. We have adopted three types of hiking and riding trails: • Regional Multi-Purpose Trails -which serve as the backbone of the public trail system, covering long distances and connecting to regional parks, open space preserves, national forests, and other regional trails leading beyond our community. The regional trail system within our City primarily follows flood control channels and utility corridors, which will be implemented through joint-use agreements with the appropriate public and private agencies. These trails should provide for equestrian, pedestrian, and bicycle use. The right-of-way standard for regional trails is thirty (30) feet minimum width. Exceptions to the standard may be granted by the Planning Commission, based on physical constraints. • Community Trails -which are more numerous than regional trails, are intended to provide convenient off-road access to community facilities such as parks, schools, and shopping centers. Community trails function as collectors that link local feeder trails in subdivisions to the regional trail system. When completed, these trails will provide multiple trail route possibilities, from short jaunts to long loops throughout the community and sphere. Community trails follow streets, utility corridors, and easements. They are intended for equestrian and pedestrian use. The right-of-way standard for community trails is twenty (20) feet minimum width. Exception to the standard may be granted by the Planning Commission, based on physical constraints. • Local Feeder Trails -which are contained within residential subdivisions iri the Equestrian/Rural Area. These trails are generally not mapped in the General Plan or P2 P3 RANCHO CUAMONGA COMMUNITY MEETING-TRAIL CONNECTIVITY March 12, 2012 Page 2 Trails Implementation Plan, but are established as private easements at .the time of subdivision review. The intent of local feeder trails is to provide access to the rear of every lot, wherever feasible, to a Community or Regional Multi-Purpose Trail. Local feeder trails can also provide logical riding loops within subdivisions. The right-of-way standard for local feeder trails is fifteen (15) feet minimum width. Exception to the standard may be granted by the Planning Commission, based on physical constraints. To support the implementation of a comprehensive equestrian trails system within our community, we have established an Equestrian/Rural Overlay District within the General Plan and Development Code. The Overlay District extends generally north of Banyan Street between the western City limits and Milliken Avenue, and then north of the Foothill Freeway between Milliken Avenue and the eastern City limits. The purpose of the District is to designate an area that allows the keeping of horses and other farm animals. However, this provision also applies to any site designated Very Low on the General Plan Land Use Plan. All new developments within this district are required to provide community and local trails for equestrian use in accordance with the Hiking and Riding Trails Plan of the General Plan. The intent is to establish a connected system of equestrian trails that provides access to local and regional recreation areas including the National Forest, equestrian facilities, regional parks, and City regional and community trails. Where lot sizes within the Equestrian/Rural Overlay District are insufficient for the keeping of horses, public and private boarding facilities are encouraged. Land dedication and/or in-lieu fees have been established in order to acquire land for a public boarding facility within the District. The Trails Implementation Plan, prepared by our City staff and adopted in 1991, includes more detailed design standards for each trail type, addresses the administration of the trail system by the City, and covers the implementation aspects of the trail system. The implementation section includes an inventory of the trails, along with a priority list of capital improvement projects related to existing and proposed trails. The capital improvement project listing for each trail type is reviewed and revised on an annual basis so that progress can be monitored. Our planned system of regional and community trails are located based on the criteria of safety, function, aesthetics, trail linkage needs, important land use connections, and the feasibility of land acquisition and/or dedication. The trails plan identifies the bridges and street under crossings that will be required, and trail heads that will provide access to the trail system at key locations throughout the community. Trail heads function as staging points for hikers, bikers and riders, and will be equipped with facilities such as restrooms, drinking fountains, parking for cars and trailers, watering troughs for horses, bike racks, benches, and shade. The Hiking and Riding Trails Master Plan included the upgrading of a previous (1981) Community Trail to a Regional Trail now identified as Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail Corridor. This recently completed Regional Multi-Purpose Trail follows the Southern Pacific railroad corridor, which travels east-west through the City, connecting the cities of Claremont, Montclair, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, and Rialto. Our City acted as the lead agency, partnered with the San Bernardino Association of Governments (SANBAG) and surrounding cities to develop a master plan fora 21-mile long trail. The Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail Master Plan was the basis for pursuing a range of funding sources including federal and state funds, grants, and private donations to build the trail. The trail has been completed as envisioned as a recreation corridor to be shared by bicyclists, pedestrians, runners, and equestrians. Current Community Trail connections to this Trail include the Cucamonga Channel Trail and the Etiwanda Avenue Trail. P4 RANCHO CUAMONGA COMMUNITY MEETING-TRAIL CONNECTIVITY March 12, 2012 Page 3 BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES: The benefits of a Trail system are many and include, promoting a healthy life style, encouraging walking and less deperidence on autos thereby reducing air pollution, establishing an aesthetic visual improvement to the neighborhoods and establishing an area identity. The challenges are in establishing important trail links that were not provided prior to the City's Incorporation. Often this means working with special agencies and utilities that do not have the same priorities as the residents. The City has taken an incremental process because of the costs and complexity of completing missing links and it can be seen that progress is being made. It should be remembered that a majority (69.7% of completed system) of the City Trail System is composed of local feeder trails that is maintained by individual property owners or home owners associations.

ITEM OF DISCUSSION: Public Safety Programs Designed for Trail Safety (Oral Presentation) STAFF REPORT R~1NCH0 CUCAMONG.1 FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT Date: March 12, 2012 To: Board President L. Dennis Michael and Members of the Board John R. Gillison, District CEO From: Mike Bell, Fire Chief By: Rob Ball, Fire Marshal RANCHO CUCAMONGA Subject: Discussion of the Adoption of the Wildland Urban Interface Fire Area Map RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Fire Board place on the agenda of a future regular Board meeting consideration of an ordinance adopting the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area map. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS In June 2008, after amulti-year mapping project, the City of Rancho Cucamonga was notified that Cal Fire had determined that there is undeveloped land within the City that meets the criteria for being classified as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. According to Government Code Section 51179, once a city has been notified by Cal Fire that there is one or more Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones within the city, the city is required to adopt by ordinance a Local Agency Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone map that officially designates the hazard area. Cities can, through the use of local findings, alter the boundaries of the hazard area either by excluding parcels recommended for inclusion in the hazard or by including parcels that were not originally included by the computer model used to map the State's fire hazard zones. In addition to designating Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, the California Fire Code requires both the State and local agencies, where applicable, to designate Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Areas. These are areas that are determined to be "at a significant risk from wildfires." The Wildland- Urban Interface Fire Area is also required to be designated by ordinance in order to establish the geographical limits of where the wildfire protection construction methods of Chapter 7A of the California Building Code will be applicable. In the absence of a local ordinance designating the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area, the wildfire protection construction methods cannot be enforced at the local level; they can only be encouraged. ' In consultation with counsel, it was determined that a single ordinance could be adopted by the Board using the designation of Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area. This is intended to avoid confusion that could result from two different terms that essentially mean the same thing. As such, the map that has been prepared for the Board's consideration at a later date includes a modified area of Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone within the City as well as all of the area north of the city that is within the Fire District's jurisdiction. P7 The land to the north of the city is primarily State Responsibility Area since it still has watershed value, but the Fire District has responsibility for structure fires and prevention within that State Responsibility Area. As such, as far as this community and the Fire District are concerned, the P8 DISCUSSION OIL "r1iIS ADOI'1'ION O1~'1'HI WILDIJ\ND URBAN IN"n_.xPACI Flltl~ ARIA ~\P PAGE 2 Ivlnxcli ]2.2012 combined hazard area that is within the City and the hazard area beyond the City but in the Fire District are a single Wildland-Urban interface Fire Area. If the ordinance designating the Wildland- Urban Interface Fire Area is approved by the Board, the City simply needs to ratify the ordinance as is typically done with other Fire District ordinances. Ratification would fulfill the City's obligation to adopt a map by ordinance Not all cities that have Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones have adopted a map. According to counsel, it is unclear what the consequence is legally of not adopting the map even though the State code requires a map to be adopted. There does seem to be agreement that in the absence of an adopted map, the local Building Official cannot enforce the wildfire protection provisions of the Building Code. Experience has now shown that the wildfire protection provisions of the Building Code are effective at reducing ember intrusion into homes and other buildings. Recent research into wildfires has shown that the leading cause of structure fires for homes and buildings in wildfire prone areas is ember intrusion. Thus, without an adopted map, construction in the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area could be completed without the benefit of the ember-resistant construction features leaving newly constructed homes and other buildings at greater risk of destruction from a wildfire event. As with any legislative action that introduces regulations or designates a part of the local jurisdiction to be different from the whole, questions about the impact of such actions are common and appropriate. Attached to this Staff Report is a, document that contains Frequently Asked Questions and answers to those questions. Through the networks of fire chiefs and fire marshals, cities that have adopted a map were asked what concerns were raised during the adoption procedures. The results of that query show what is on the minds of community residents. Also, before final approval of the statewide map by the Director of Cal Fire, the local units of Cal Fire held public hearings to ' take input. The questions raised at those hearings also informed fire agencies as to the concerns that residents have regarding the map and the designated area. Staff is willing to provide answers to other questions that are not included in the Frequently Asked Questions. Also included with this Staff Report are two maps -one map shows all of the Fire Hazard Severity Zones within Rancho Cucamonga as originally determined by the State's compute modeling. The second map is the map that the Fire District is recommending that the Board adopt as the designated Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area. The recommended map is based on the revisions made by the State after public comments on the original computer modeling were considered. The recommended map also includes the input of Rancho Cucamonga's Fire Safe Council as well as guidance from locally stationed Cal Fire and US Forest Service personnel. Staff, including Building Official Trang Huynh, also visited with the BIA to make the City's private sector construction partners aware of the deliberations on the fire area boundaries and to obtain their input. To help with more easily defining the boundaries of the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area, major streets are used as boundary markers. According to counsel, the ordinance adopting the recommended map does not require a public hearing and can be placed on the agenda of a regular meeting at the Board's pleasure. Respec submitted, Mike Bel/~~f%~ Fire Chief x Mm~+ • J ~+l M~ • N CD CD ~--~ • N 0 c~ 0 PREVENTION BUREAU Adopting aWildland-Urban Interface Fire Area Map Frequently Asked Questions Q: Will my homeowner's insurance go up if my home is in the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area defined by the map? A: The Fire District consulted with several national insurance companies and was told by all of them that simply adopting [he map will not affect insurance rates. Insurance companies use information from risk and hazard assessment services in addition to their own proprietary risk modeling [o determine how much risk is associated with insuring a particular home. Wildfire risk isjus[ one of the "data points" in the total risk assessment. Since the State's Fire Hazard Severity Zone map has been available publicly since 2005, [he information has already been factored into risk and hazard assessments. Insurance companies consider several factors besides the State's map [o assess wildfire risk. Some areas such as flood control channels that are not included in the State's Fire Hazard Severity Zone map are considered by some insurance companies to be wildfire risk areas due to the vegetation that grows in the channel. Q: Will 1 have to take out my landscaping and re-plant with fire-safe landscaping? A: No. Existing homes and neighborhoods will not be required to comply with the fire-resistant landscaping requirements of the current California Codes. However, being in the designated Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area means [hat you should expect to receive information about how [o make your landscaping more fire-safe than it might already be. Homes in the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area may also be eligible to participate in community clean up days facilitated by [he Ci[y and [he Fire District. Such events are designed to assist homeowners in the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area with the clean up and haul away of dead or dying landscaping in an effort to make the area around homes less prone to catching fire From the blowing embers produced by a wildfire. Q: Will new homes be required to have fire-safe landscaping that is essentially a moonscape of sand and rocks? A: New homes will be required [o landscape in accordance with fire-safe landscaping requirements and guidelines. However, far from a moonscape, fire-safe landscaping allows for the use of turf and other live ground covers, shrubs, and trees. The two main differences between fire-safe landscaping and traditional landscaping is [hat fire-safe landscaping uses plants that have fire-resistant characteristics and fire-safe landscaping requires shrubs and trees [o spaced further apart so as to reduce the opportunities for fire [o spread from one plan[ or tree to another. The Fire District will be installing fire-safe landscaping at the new Hellman Fire S[a[ion so [he community can see an example of the type of landscaping [hat new homes in the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area will have. Q: If I add a room, deck, or patio cover onto my home, will it have to be constructed using the wildfire prevention construction methods and materials found in the California Building Code? A: Additions to existing homes and buildings will not be required to utilize [he wildfire construction methods and materials. Exterior construction features such as decks and patio covers will be required [o use the safer construction methods and materials in order to better protect the existing home. OVER 10500 Civic Center Drive • Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 • 909-477-2770 Q: If my home is included in the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area now, will it always be in the high fire hazard area or are there conditions under which it could someday no longer be in the high fire hazard area? A: Cal Fire, the State's fire protection agency, is required [o review and update its fire hazard maps every five years. As the inputs to the computer model change (such as recent fire history, new development that reduces or eliminates flammable vegetation, etc), the area that is determined [o be hazardous could change. Once the Stale updates its maps and sends that information to the cities, the cities and local fire agencies will have an opportunity to review their maps and determine what changes need to be made. For example, if new development pushes the hazardous vegetation further away from existing homes, some homes that are in [he hazard area now may not be in the hazard area in the future. Q: What happens if the City of Rancho Cucamonga does not adopt the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area map? A: The main drawback of not adopting [he map is [hat the Building Department will no[ be able to require the safer fire protection construction for new homes and buildings that are constructed in the fire hazard area. Without the new and proven construction methods and materials, [here is a greater chance that a home will catch fire. Research conducted during and after recent wildfires has found [hat once one house catches fire there is a substantially greater chance that additional houses will catch fire. This is because a house on fire produces more embers for a longer period of time than the passing front of a wildfire. It is the blowing embers that start fires in homes and buildings, so whenever and however possible it is important to try to keep even one house from catching fire. Q: What are the enhanced construction methods and materials required by the California Building Code that are intended to reduce the opportunities for embers to enter into or otherwise cause a fire in a house or building constructed in the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area? A: • Exterior windows and doors must be constructed of multi-panes of glass with at leas[ one pane of tempered safety glass to reduce the chances of breaking when struck by large embers or blowing rocks, or exterior windows and doors must have afire-resistance rating of not less than 20 minutes. • Exterior wall construction and materials must be a 1-hour fire-resistance assembly or utilize non-combustible materials, ignition-resistant materials, heavy timber (large dimensional ]umber) construction, or log wall construction. • Decks and patio covers must utilize noncombustible materials or wood that has been treated with an approved flame-resistant product. Lumber less than 2 inches in nominal size is generally not allowed. • All roof venting must be constructed ofnon-combustible material and screened with 1/16-inch metal wire mesh. • Roofing material shall be Class Afire-safety rated. • Roof eaves must have enclosed soffits with non-combustible or 1-hour rated construction material. For open roof eaves, the underside must have 2-inch minimum dimension lumber for decking and rafter [ails with 2- inch minimum dimension lumber solid blocking between the roof eaves and the exterior wall assembly. Q: Did the Fire District solicit the input of others when considering where to draw the lines that form the boundaries of the proposed Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area? A: Yes. The Fire District consulted with the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Safe Council, a local community interest organization of Rancho Cucamonga residents who advocate for wildfire safety through informational and educational efforts. The Fire District also consulted with fire prevention and protection officials with Cal Fire and the US Forest Service who work in local offices and who are aware of the local fire history and potential. The input from all of these dedicated individuals is greatly appreciated. -2- CUCAMONGA CANYON LAW ENFORCEMENTS RESPONSIBILITIES: The primary concern of the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department is protecting the quality of life of the residents near the canyon entrance. Residents have expressed concerns about pollution, vandalism, theft, and trespass. It is the police department's responsibility to develop an approach to reduce the criminal influences that tend to diminish that quality of life. It is also the responsibility of the police department to allow visitors to the community to have access to public areas in a manner that is officially permitted and lawful. STATISTICAL DATA: See attachment MITIGATING THE PROBLEM: To lessen the affect of criminal activity in the neighborhoods near the entrance to the canyon we will utilize amulti-disciplinary team including: • Police o Citizen Equestrian Patrol o Crime Prevention • Fire • US Forestry • Property owners • City Public Works The team approach will allow a greater access to resources and better cooperation which will increase the probability of success in obtaining the objective of reducing criminal activity. POLICE DEPARTMENT STRATEGY: An issue of this type should be engaged from various approaches such as: • Public education and notification • Proactive enforcement of laws The police department in conjunction with the fire department is planning a public education effort. We are researching how we can utilize popular social media sites to enhance this effort. We believe social media will allow us to disseminate information that canyon access is not permitted via private property. In addition, information will be distributed to residents on how to identify and report suspicious activity. In conjunction with the public works department we will be creating and installing advisory signs of no canyon access and no trespassing signs warning of criminal prosecution (see illustrations for location and design of signs). We have obtained trespass agreements from most of the land owners who have trails utilized illegally by visitors to access the canyon. These agreements will allow us, on behalf of the land owners, to issue citations and remove individuals who are trespassing on these lands. The police department has already begun using equestrian patrols made up of deputy sheriffs and civilian volunteers to make contact with trespassers and issue citations when necessary. An additional emphasis has been placed on the beat car to be proactive in and around the neighborhoods. Once the advisory and no trespassing signs are installed we will periodically conduct special enforcement in the canyon area to promote compliance with canyon access laws. By encouraging visitors to use only lawful access to the canyon we believe there will be a significant reduction in criminal activity in and around the neighborhoods near the canyon.
