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.

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.
