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 comer of Wilson Avenue and East Avenue, 40 acres located at the northwest comer 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 Pian and Etiwanda North Specific Plan Amendments to change the residential land use for 80-acres from Very Low Residential (l 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 I below. 4 Plan for Services Table 1 Development Potential PROPOSED LAND USE ACRES ESTIMATED ESTIMATED NUMBER DENSITY OF DWELLING UNITS Very Low Residential 15 1.2 18 Low Residential 80 2.5 200 Conservation/Flood 205 NA NA Control TOTAL 300 218 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.

Each of the proposed annexations is under separate environmental reviews. 6 Plan for Services Plan for Services 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 corner 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. 9 Plan for Services 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 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. 11 Plan for Services III. 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 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 Plan for Services 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 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 15 Plan for Services 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 also participates in an automatic response agreement, known as West 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 16 Plan for Services 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.
