AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE RANCHO
CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO AN
UPDATE TO THE TEMPORARY USE PERMIT REGULATIONS
Recitals.
A. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has prepared Municipal Code Amendment
DRC2018-00028, as described in the title of this Ordinance. Hereinafter in this Ordinance, the
subject Municipal Code Amendment is referred to as the "Amendment".
B. A Temporary Use Permit ("TUP") allows for the temporary utilization of a property
for a special, unique, or limited duration use such as a festival, parade, outdoor sporting event, or
for seasonal sales.
C. On August 14, 2019, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a noticed public hearing with respect to the Amendment and, following the conclusion
thereof, adopted Resolution No. 19-48, recommending that the City Council of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga adopt this Amendment.
D. On November 6, 2019, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a noticed public hearing on the Amendment and concluded said hearing on that date.
E. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
II. Findings.
A. Based upon all of the evidence presented to the City Council during the above -
referenced public hearing, this City Council hereby finds and concludes that the changes
proposed to Title 17 (Development Code) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code by this
Amendment are consistent with the General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs.
General Plan Community Services Policy CS-2.3 is "aimed at continuing to promote and develop
special events that enrich the lives, celebrate and honor diversity, and bring all residents together
in Rancho Cucamonga." Temporary use permits provide a simple way to regulate short-term
activities and special events that can bring residents together and often create an enhanced
quality of life and promote economic development. The amendment to the TUP regulations will
broaden the types of activities subject to a temporary use permit, clarify the standards applied to
temporary uses, and generally make the administration of temporary uses easier thereby
facilitating such events/uses as sales and grand openings, art shows, charity events, carnivals,
food trucks, pop-up restaurants or crafts shops, produce stands, Christmas tree stands, fireworks
stands, and car shows, etc. General Plan Land Use Policy LU-1.1 states, "Protect neighborhoods
from the encroachment of incompatible activities or land uses that may have a negative impact
on the residential living environment." Temporary use permits are intended to allow community
events and activities for limited time periods in locations where the uses may not otherwise be
allowed in the applicable zone. Economic Development Policy ED-2.3 states, "Expand recreation
and cultural attractions to enhance tourism/visitor potential and to boost sales and transient
occupancy tax." The revised TUP regulations provide greater clarity on the requirements for
temporary uses that could be regionally significant (e.g., concerts, outdoor sporting events) and
which could draw visitors from beyond the City. Public Health and Safety Policy PS-13.4 states,
Ordinance No. 961 — Page 1 of 17
"Require that acceptable noise levels are maintained near residences, schools, health care
facilities, religious institutions, and other noise sensitive uses in accordance with the Development
Code and noise standards contained in the General Plan." A common development standard for
temporary uses has been added to the TUP regulations calling for the provision of noise
attenuation measures to the satisfaction of the planning director.
B. The Planning Department staff has determined that this Amendment is exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which
have the potential for causing significant effects on the environment. Pursuant to State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that
the activity in question may have significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject
to CEQA. The Amendment does not propose any physical change to the environment itself.
Furthermore, the Amendment pertains to a ministerial action — issuance of a temporary use permit
— which is statutorily exempt from CEQA and which relates to uses that are by their very nature
short in duration and without permanent change to the land. Based on this evidence and all of the
evidence in the record, the City Council concurs with the Planning Department staff's
determination that the Amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment and is
therefore exempt from further environmental review under CEQA.
III. Ordinance.
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 17.16.070 (Temporary use permit) of Title 17 (Development
Code) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows:
"A. Purpose. Temporary use permits provide a process for administrative review for short-term
activities that may not meet the normal development or use standards of the applicable zoning
district, but may be acceptable because of their temporary nature. The intent of these regulations
is to ensure that the temporary use does not adversely impact the long-term uses of the same or
neighboring sites, or impact the general health, safety, and welfare of persons residing within the
community.
B. Applicability. A temporary use permit shall be required prior to the establishment of those
uses specified in section 17.104.020 (Temporary Uses —Permit Requirements and Exemptions).
C. Review process. Applications shall be submitted along with required materials and any
application fee as established by city council resolution a minimum of 15 days prior to the event.
The planning department and other departments as necessary shall review the request and
render a decision. The decision shall clearly state, in writing, any conditions of approval or reasons
for denial. Temporary use permits will be reviewed for compliance with development standards
related to those activities provided in chapter 17.104 (Temporary Uses).
D. Findings. The planning director shall approve, or approve with conditions, an application for
a temporary use permit after finding all of the following. If the director does not make all of these
findings, he or she shall deny the temporary use permit:
The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use will not, under the circumstances
of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
Ordinance No. 961 — Page 2 of 17
2. The use, as described and conditionally approved, will not be detrimental or injurious to
property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the city.
3. Approved measures for the removal of the use and site restoration have been required to
ensure that no changes to the site would limit the range of possible future land uses
otherwise allowed by this zoning code.
E. Conditions. In approving a temporary use permit, the director may impose such conditions
as are needed to ensure that the required findings can be made. Such conditions may include but
shall not be limited to the following:
1. Measure to minimize impact on adjacent uses, such as buffers, hours of operation,
lighting requirements, and/or parking measures.
2. Property maintenance requirements to ensure that each site occupied by a temporary
use shall be cleaned of debris, litter, or any other evidence of the temporary use upon
completion or removal of the use.
3. Appropriate performance guarantees/security may be required before initiation of the use
to ensure proper cleanup after the use is finished.
4. Other conditions of approval deemed reasonable and necessary to ensure that the
approval would be in compliance with the findings above. (Code 1980, § 17.16.070; Ord.
No. 855 § 4, 2012)
F. Revocation. A temporary use permit may be revoked or modified by the director based on
any of the following grounds:
1. The permit was obtained by misrepresentation or fraud.
2. The conditions of approval for the permit have not been met, or the permit is not being
exercised.
3. The use for which the permit was granted is being or is permitted to be or operates in
violation of any statute, ordinance, law, or regulation.
4. The permit is being exercised in a way that is detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or constitutes a nuisance."
