AMENDMENT DRC2010-00571, A COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE
TO THE DEVELOPMENT CODE, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF
A. Recitals.
1. On May 23, 2012, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a duly noticed public hearing with respect to the above referenced Municipal Code
Amendment and, following the conclusion thereof, adopted its Resolution No. 12-23,
recommending that the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopt said amendment.
2. On June 20, 2012, and continued to July 18, 2012, the City Council of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the amendment.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
B. Ordinance.
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: This City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the
Recitals, Part A, of this Ordinance are true and correct.
SECTION 2: Based upon substantial evidence presented to the City Council during the
above-referenced public hearing on June 20, 2012 and July 18, 2012, including written and oral
staff reports, together with public testimony, the City Council hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The City adopted its current Development Code in 1983, and has since
updated and amended individual sections of that code; and
b. The City desires to adopt a comprehensive update to the Development Code in
order to (i) reflect the goals, policies, and implementation measures of the City's General Plan,
adopted in May 2010; (ii) ensure compliance with applicable Federal and State legislation; (iii)
adopt an official zoning map consistent with the General Plan; (iv) promote sustainable
development; and (v) improve the organization and usability of the Development Code; and
C. The City has prepared a comprehensive update to the City's Development
Code that implements the policies of the General Plan, which was updated in 2010. The City
made the Public Draft Development Code Update ("Public Draft") available for public review in
April 2012. The Public Draft is a comprehensive revision and update of Title 17 of the Rancho
Cucamonga Municipal Code that sets requirements for private development of property,
including development standards, permitted uses, building heights, building setbacks, parking
standards, sign standards, landscaping requirements, subdivisions, animal keeping regulations,
and other development-related topics; and
d. The City has prepared an updated zoning map which is a graphic
representation of the Development Code and represents no rezoning of land, which is included
as Attachment 2; and
e. Based on feedback received regarding the Public Draft, the City prepared a set
of revisions (the "Revisions"), which is included as Attachment 3; and
f. City staff has also identified numerous non-substantive amendments ("Additional
Amendments") that will need to be made to provisions of the Municipal Code outside of Title 17 to
accommodate the proposed Development Code Update, which is included as Attachment 4.
g. The Public Draft, including the zoning map and as amended by the Revisions
and together with the Additional Amendments, constitutes the Development Code Update.
SECTION 3: The City has prepared an Addendum (the "Addendum") to the City of
Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Environmental Impact Report (SCH#2000061027) (the "Final
EIR"), attached hereto as Attachment 5 to this Resolution, which confirms that the
environmental impacts stemming from the Development Code Update were adequately
addressed in the Final EIR and that a subsequent EIR or negative declaration is not required for
the Development Code Update. The City Council finds that the Addendum complies with the
California Environmental Quality Act, its implementing regulations at 14 California Code of
Regulations § 15000 et seq., and the City's local CEQA guidelines (collectively "CEQK) based
also on the following specific findings and determinations:
a. On May 10, 2010, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted
Resolution Number 10-068, adopting environmental findings pursuant to CEQA, certifying the
Final EIR, adopting a statement of overriding considerations and adopting a Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program. The General Plan specifically contemplated a revision and
comprehensive update of the Development Code such as is accomplished by the Development
Code Update and the Final EIR analyzed the impacts thereof.
b. The Development Code Update does not propose substantial changes to the
City's development regulations that were not analyzed in the Final EIR or that will require major
revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. The Project simply implements the
goals and policies adopted in the City's General Plan and analyzed in the Final EIR.
C. There have been no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Development Code Update is being undertaken that were not contemplated in
the Final EIR or that will require major revisions of the Final EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects. The Final EIR that addressed the impacts of adopting the City's General
Plan and revisions to the land development code was adopted on May 10, 2010. The existing
conditions reported in the Final EIR are very similar to those currently in existence. Since
adoption of the General Plan in 2010, the City has not processed any amendments to the plan.
As a result, there are no substantial changes to the environment which would require a
modification of the Final EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or
a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
d. There is no new information of substantial importance that was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Final EIR
was certified that shows (a) the Development Code Update will have any significant effects not
discussed in the Final EIR; (b) the significant effects examined in the Final EIR will be
substantially more severe than previously shown; (c) mitigation measures or alternatives
previously found to be infeasible would now be feasible and would substantially reduce one or
more significant effects of the Development Code Update; or (d) considerably different
mitigation measures or alternatives than those analyzed in the Final EIR would substantially
reduce one or more significant effects on the environment are now available.

Article VI Special Planning Areas
Chapter 17.116 Master Plan Purpose
Section 17.116.010 Special Planning Area Purpose and Intent
Special Planning Areas are geographic areas within the City that have adopted plans with
unique use, development, and/or design regulations that vary or deviate from the Citywide
zoning and development standards. Throughout the United States, Special Planning Areas are
created for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to private development applications for
master planned communities, protection of unique resources (e.g., historic district,
environmental protection), special site considerations (e.g., hillside development, scenic
corridors), and/or special use considerations (e.g., targeted use areas, redevelopment
opportunities). Since incorporation, Special Planning Areas in Rancho Cucamonga have been
established for all of the above listed reasons.
This Chapter identifies and describes the City's Special Planning Areas, which are areas subject
to unique zoning and development regulations according to the following general categories:
C. Master Plans. Master Plans are discretionary planning entitlements (not a zoning
district) that allow flexibility in the allowed uses and development standards for
specific types of projects. Master Plans are required for mixed-use projects and
other integrated developments that warrant special development consideration
beyond conventional zoning regulations to address the special or unique needs or
characteristics. Master Plans are also required for areas designated on the General
Plan Land Use Map with the Master Plan symbol (FReSt ^` Wh Gh are deSigRated
mixed use s4--z4. The Master Plan entitlement requires preparation of a conceptual
master plan to address issues such as circulation, drainage, open space linkages,
trail connections, compatibility with adjacent uses, and similar concerns through a
comprehensive approach and creative design flexibility. Master Plans are intended to
assure a harmonious relationship between the existing and proposed uses, and to
coordinate and promote the community improvement efforts of both private and
public resources. Subsequent development within the master planned areas must be
consistent with the approved conceptual master plans.
Chapter 17.118 Master Plan Descriptions
Section 17.118.040 Master Plan Descriptions
The Master Plans listed below have been adopted by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. This is a
partial list because the Citv has also approved other Master Plans that are simolv site plans
aooroved as Dart of the orevious master olannino entitlement. This Section provides a reference
to ea�the more detailed adepte4d-Master Plans, along with a summary of the unique land use
and development standards applicable to each individual Master Plan. A full copy of all adopted
Master Plan documents (and any adopted amendments thereto) shall be kept in the Planning
Department and in the City Clerk's office.

This Addendum to the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Environmental Impact Report
(SCHtt2000061027) (the "EIR") has been prepared in connection with the City's comprehensive update
to its proposed Development Code Update (the "Project"). The Addendum confirms that the
environmental impacts stemming from the Project were adequately addressed in the EIR and that a
subsequent EIR or negative declaration is not required for the Project.
Proposed Development Code Update
The Project is a comprehensive update to the City's Development Code designed to implement the
policies of the recently completed 2010 General Plan Update. If adopted, the Project would set
requirements for private development of property, including development standards, permitted uses,
building height, building setbacks, parking standards, sign standards, landscaping requirements,
subdivisions, animal keeping regulations, and other development-related topics.
The Development Code has not been comprehensively updated since its original adoption in 1983. At
that time, the City was predominantly vacant, and most development concerned of large tracts of land
with hundreds of residential units or large distribution warehouse complexes. As reflected in the 2010
General Plan Update,the City is now largely developed with most land use applications being proposed
for smaller residential subdivisions or more modest commercial and industrial development.
The principal objectives of the Development Code Update are to:
• Implement the policies of the General Plan
• Ensure the Code is consistent with state and federal laws
• Make the Code modern, integrated, and easy to use for developers, business owners, residents,
staff, and decision makers
• Streamline approval procedures while ensuring meaningful public participation
• Create value by promoting mixed use development in designated areas
• Allow for the development of modern housing and business uses
• Promote sustainable development
• Simplify design standards without compromising the quality of development
• Incorporate and update regulations currently located elsewhere in the code, including
Entertainment,Tree Preservation, Signs, and Historic Preservation.
The Project is considered to be largely procedural in nature. The Project will also update the City's
zoning map to reflect the mixed use land use designations shown on the General Plan Land Use Map
(Exhibit 3-3 of the General Plan EIR) and to specific plans and overlay districts previously adopted by the
City but not appear on the current map. 1 Additionally, the Project included the consolidation of land
use tables into one master land use table with consistent descriptions across all base zoning districts.
These changes are made to ease implementation of the Development Code by City Staff, and to improve
understanding with the general public. Table A-1 shows the translation of existing land use activities
into fewer land use descriptions.

Rancho Cucamonga 1010 General Plan Update
Environmental Impact Report
The 2010 General Plan Update and Environmental Impact Report
On May 19, 2010, the City Council adopted the 2010 General Plan Update and certified the EIR. The
updated plan serves as the foundation for many of the City's regulatory documents, including the
Development Code, specific plans, community plans, master plans, and design guidelines. With the
2010 General Plan update, the City's focus shifted to infill development (development of remaining
vacant properties within developed business districts and residential neighborhoods).
As stated above, the Project includes updating the City's zoning map to conform to the mixed use
designations in the 2010 General Plan Update. The mixed use general plan designation and zone district
approach is a key feature of the General Plan Update and was the second of the objectives listed in the
EIR for the general plan.' Further, the mixed use concept is discussed in nearly every chapter of the EIR
impact discussion and the description of policies intended to address environmental impacts. The mixed
use land use designation is reflected in the project description of the EIR in Tables 3-3 Buildout Summary
by Land Use, 3-4 Residential Land Use Summary, and 3-5, Non-Residential Land Use Summary. 3 The
project description also includes a narrative description of the location of the mixed use areas, and the
General Plan includes Figure 3-3 illustrating the locations."
The EIR evaluated potential for the 2010 General Plan Update to result in environmental impacts, as
summarized in the following table:
No Mitigation Mitigation Measures Significant and Unavoidable
Agricultural Resources Cultural Resources Aesthetics
Biological Resources Hazards and Hazardous Agricultural Resources
Geology and Soils Materials Air Quality
Population, Housing and Hydrology and Water Quality Climate Change
Employment Land Use and Planning Mineral Resources
Public Services Noise
Parks and Recreation
Transportation and Traffic
Utilities and Service Systems
The City made findings regarding the environmental impacts of adopting the General Plan as well as
overriding considerations for significant and unavoidable impacts, both individually and cumulatively,
for the following issues: Aesthetics, Agricultural Resources, Air Quality, Climate Change, and Mineral
Resources.
The findings made by the City necessary to certify the EIR and adopt the General Plan also included a
mitigation monitoring and reporting program. For impacts to Land Use and Planning, the City
determined that changes or alterations have been incorporated into the General Plan that avoid or
substantially lessen the significant environmental effects identified in the EIR resulting in a less than
significant impact. More specifically the City's findings stated there would be no conflict between the
General Plan and the land development code because updates to the land development code, as well as
adherence to standard conditions related to consistency of future development with the proposed 2010
Page 11 of 14
Addendum to the
Rancho Cucamonga 2010 General Pion Update
Environmental impact Report
General Plan Update and the City's Development Code will reduce the potential impacts related to plan
consistency to a less than significant level.
CEQA Review Requirements
The California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") generally requires agencies to analyze the possible
environmental impacts of a project prior to approval. Depending on the nature and extend of the
potential impacts, the agency may be required to adopt a negative declaration or environmental impact
report (EIR).
Under Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, when an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration
adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency
determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the
following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the
previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been
known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as
complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or
negative declaration;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in
the previous EIR;
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be
feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project,
but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those
analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects
on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation
measure or alternative.
If the none of these conditions calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration
are met, but minor technical changes or additions are necessary to a previously adopted environmental
Page 12 of 14
Addendum to the
Rancho Cucamonga 2010 General Plan Update
Environmental Impact Report
document are needed, Section 16164 of the CEQA Guidelines allow the lead agency to prepare an
addendum to the prior environmental document.
A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant should be included in the
addendum, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must
be supported by substantial evidence.
The addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final
EIR or adopted negative declaration, and must be considered by the decision-making body prior to
making a decision on the project.
Analysis
This addendum to the EIR has been prepared for the Project because none of the conditions specified in
Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines requiring the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative
declaration are met.
First, the Project does not propose substantial changes in the City's development regulations
that were not analyzed in the EIR or that will require major revisions of the EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects.
The Project simply implements the goals and policies adopted in the City's General Plan and
analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The General Plan specifically mentions revises and updating
the Development Code, as shown in the following table.
The Development Code shall be updated to reflect the density and LU-2.1, LU-2.2, LU-3.3, LU-
intensity ranges (especially along Foothill Boulevard) as specified in 3.8, LU-4.2, LU-4.3, LU-4.5,
the General Plan including updating the development standards to LU-5.1, LU-9.5, ED-2.1, ED-
be consistent with the General Plan provisions. (Table LU-2 of 2.4 ED-4.4
Chapter 2)
The Development Code shall be updated to develop guidelines or LU-2.4, LU-9.1, LU-9.2, LU-
standards that will guide infill development and make it compatible 9.4, ED-1.4, ED-4.1
with the surrounding neighborhood communities
The mixed use zoning was also reviewed throughout the EIR and illustrated in the General Plan
Land Use Element in figures LU-2 and LU-3 and in Figure 3-3 of the Draft EIR. The proposed
project does not change either the policies or the figures shown in both the EIR and the General
Plan. The project does not change any densities, intensities, land uses, or designations beyond
those analyzed in the EIR. As a result, there is no change in the project and no new significant
environmental effects, or increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects is
anticipated as a result of the proposed project.
Page 13 of 14
Addendum to the
Rancho Cucamonga 2010 General Plan Update
Environmental Impact Report
Second,there have been no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which
the Project is undertaken that will require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects. The EIR, which addressed the impacts of adopting the City's
General Plan and revisions to the land development code, was adopted on May 10, 2010. The
existing conditions reported in the EIR are very similar to those currently in existence. Since
adoption of the General Plan in 2010, the City has not processed any amendments to the plan.
As a result, there are no substantial changes to the environment which would require a
modification of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
Third, there is no new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not
have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was certified
that shows (a) the Project will have any significant effects not discussed in the EIR; (b) the
significant effects examined in the EIR will be substantially more severe than previously shown;
(c) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found to be infeasible would now be feasible
and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project; or (d)
considerably different mitigation measures or alternatives than those analyzed in the EIR would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment are now available.
As the Project is consistent with the General Plan there are no new effects that were not
discussed in the EIR. Similarly, the Project will not result in changes to the impacts identified in
the EIR that could be considered substantially more severe. The Project does not alter any of
the review processes in place for new projects, nor does it exempt new uses in the zoning
ordinance from review. The Project addresses areas of responsibility for development review
and affirms the appropriate body to make recommendations clarifies appeal procedures and
establishes project review timelines. None of these changes will result in physical changes to
the environment inconsistent with the General Plan as analyzed in the EIR. No additional
mitigation measures are necessary.
Summary
In sum, the General Plan EIR sufficiently analyzed the potential impacts associated with the proposed
Development Code Update. The City has a thorough development review process that is fully
documented in the General Plan EIR, and that will remain in place following the proposed project.
