AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE RANCHO
CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE TO MODIFY
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES WITHIN THE
DEVELOPMENT CODE AND ESTABLISH NEW ZONING
DISTRICTS, AMEND LAND USES AND DEFINITIONS AND
CREATE NEW DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY, MAKING
FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF, AND MAKING A
DETERMINATION THAT THE ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT FROM
THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Recitals.
A. The City of Rancho Cucamonga (the "City"), has prepared Municipal Code
Amendment DRC2021-00170, as described in the title of this Ordinance. Hereinafter in this
Ordinance, the subject Municipal Code Amendment is referred to as "the amendment".
B. The City is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws
of the State of California.
C. The City has prepared the amendment related to industrial development and for
other purposes described in the staff report in support of this Ordinance, which amendment is
identified in Exhibits A through O of this Ordinance.
D. On the 26th day of May, 2021, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing with respect to the amendment and, following
the conclusion thereof, issued Resolution No. 21-37 recommending that the City Council of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga adopt said amendment upon further consideration given to truck
queuing, rooftop solar coverage, and permitted uses within industrial zones.
E. On the 16th day of June 2021, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a noticed public hearing on the amendment and concluded said hearing on that date.
F. All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
SECTION 2. Findings. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this
Council during the above -referenced public hearing, this Council hereby finds and concludes that
the changes proposed to Title 17 (Development Code) in the amendment are consistent with the
General Plan's goals, policies and implementation programs. General Plan Policy LU-3.3
recognizes the need for regional serving land uses, like industrial uses, and that these uses need
immediate access to the regional transportation network that is designed to provide maximum
access capabilities and permit maximum dispersal of traffic. General Plan Land Use Goal CM-5
and Policy CM-5.2 require new developments to evaluate and when needed provide necessary
transportation infrastructure to mitigate for transportation impacts. General Plan Land Use Goal
CM-7 supports the maintenance of an efficient and safe network of good and freight movement
that supports the needs of the business community. The block networks standards proposed
Ordinance No. 982 - Page 1 of 100
provide guidance to new development with some flexibility with the master plan process to
develop a transportation network that will not only support individual development, but provide
efficient, safe transportation infrastructure for a variety of industrial uses. Finally, General Plan
Land Use Policy LU-3.4 promotes development that is sustainable in its use of land and limits
impacts to natural resources, energy, and air and water quality. Solar power generation
standards and EV charging stations and infrastructure help encourage clean energy use and help
reduce environmental impacts related to industrial development.
SECTION 3. CEQA. Planning Department Staff has determined that the project 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 effect 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 a significant effect on the environment, the activity
is not subject to CEQA. The consolidation of zoning districts, changes to the entitlement process
and the elimination of higher impact industrial uses from the land use table will impose greater
limitations on industrial development than exist today and will thereby serve to eliminate
potentially significant adverse environmental impacts. The implementation of requirements for
solar collector systems for new industrial development will provide a renewable electric resource
for the development and reduce dependence on non-renewable electric resources. The new
standards relating to parking, access, and street circulation avoid impacts relating to queuing and
ensure that vehicles can reach arterial streets and freeways in as few miles as possible. Requiring
new development to install electric vehicle charging infrastructure will encourage use of electric
vehicles for industrial uses, reducing GHG emissions in future developments. These requirements
impose greater limitations on industrial development than exist today and will thereby serve to
eliminate potentially significant adverse environmental impacts. Each of these components,
individually and cumulatively, does not result in the possibility of creating significant to cumulative
effects on the environment. Future development subject to these provisions will be reviewed for
CEQA compliance under separate entitlements or actions as proposed by these code updates.
During the entitlement process, the applicant will be required to comply with CEQA. In reviewing
each project for compliance with CEQA, an applicant may be required to submit environmental
studies that �nalyze potential impacts such as air quality, biological resources, cultural resources,
noise levels', and transportation/traffic caused by the site -specific project. On a case -by -case
review of each project, the appropriate environmental document will be prepared to address
project -specific impacts. Based on this evidence and all the evidence in the record the City Council
hereby concurs with Planning staff's determination that that the Amendment will not have a
significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further environmental review
under CEQA.

Ordinance No. 982 - Page 13 of 100
17.16.120 Minor use permit.
A. Purpose. The minor use permit provides a process for director review and determination
of requests for uses and activities whose effects on adjacent sites and surroundings must be
evaluated. These uses and activities generally meet the purposes of the applicable zoning district
but require special consideration in their design or operation to ensure compatibility with
surrounding or potential future uses. It is anticipated that uses qualifying for a minor use permit
only have an impact on immediately adjacent properties and can be modified and/or conditioned
to ensure compatibility.
B. Applicability. This section applies to land use requiring a minor use permit as designated
with an W" on the allowed use table (Table 17.30.030-1).
C. Review process. An application for a minor use permit shall be filed with the planning
department in a manner prescribed by the planning director with the required fee as established
by city council resolution. The planning director is the approving authority for minor use permits.
However, the planning director may also refer a minor use permit to the planning commission for
review and approval pursuant to section 17.14.060.0 (Referral to the Planning Commission).
D. Findings. The director shall approve, or approve with conditions, an application for a minor
use permit after finding all of the following.
1. The subject site is suitable for the type and intensity of use or development
proposed, and the proposed location, size, and design of the use are compatible with
adjacent uses or with natural resources;
2. The operating characteristics of the proposed use, including traffic, noise, light,
and other characteristics, will be in keeping with the character of the neighborhood and
othe� adjacent uses or uses in the vicinity;
3. j The proposed improvements of the site, including building design, height and bulk
of buildings, setbacks, fencing, landscaping, signage size and location, are compatible

17.20.040 Design review.
A. Purpose. This section establishes the review procedures for residential, commercial,
industrial, and institutional development proposals to facilitate project review by local responsible
agencies and the development/design review committees in a timely and efficient manner; to
ensure that development projects comply with all applicable local design guidelines, standards,
and ordinances; to minimize adverse effects on surrounding properties and the environment; and
to maintain consistency with the general plan, which promotes high aesthetic and functional
standards to complement and add to the physical, economic, and social character of the city.
In addition, the city finds that a design review process will support the implementation of the
general plan, as it stresses quality community design standards. The city further finds that the
quality of certain residential, institutional, commercial, and industrial uses has a substantial impact
upon the visual appeal, environmental soundness, economic stability, and property values of the
city. This section is not intended to restrict imagination, innovation, or variety, but rather to focus
on community design principles which can result in creative imaginative solutions for the project
and a qualit' design for the city. It is the purpose of this section to:
1. Recognize the interdependence of land values and aesthetics and provide a
method by which the city may implement this interdependence to its benefit.
2. Encourage the orderly and harmonious appearance of structures and property
withith the city along with associated facilities, such as signs, landscaping, parking areas,
and streets.
3. Maintain the public health, safety and general welfare, and property throughout the
city.
4. Assist private and public developments to be more cognizant of public concerns
for ft e aesthetics of development.
5. Reasonably ensure that new developments, including residential, institutional,
commercial, and industrial developments, do not have an adverse aesthetic, health,
safety, or architecturally related impact upon existing adjoining properties, or the city in
general.
6. Implement those sections of the city's general plan that specifically refer to the
preservation and enhancement of the particular character and unique assets of this city
and its harmonious development.
7. Minimize the effects of grading by discouraging mass grading and excessive
slopes to ensure that the natural character of terrain is retained.
Ordinance No. 982 - Page 16 of 100

materials, and natural hydrology, while also encouraging improved drainage from lots
directly to a street, storm drain, or through a public or privately maintained easement.
9. Limit the impact of slopes on adjacent developed properties and limit construction
on identified seismic or geologic hazard areas.
10. Encourage the use of a variety of housing styles, split-level grading techniques,
varied lot sizes, site design densities, maintenance of views, and arrangement and
spacing to accomplish grading policies.
11. Help ensure that adequate levels of public services are provided for existing and
future development in the city.
12. Encourage orderly development of residences within areas more readily served by
public services.
13. Encourage the development of master planned projects that provide the service
needs of the residents of these projects.
14. Encourage the use of energy conservation techniques in all new residential, mixed
use, institutional commercial, and industrial development.

1. Scheduling for committee review. Upon acceptance of a complete application for
design review approval, a project shall be scheduled for committee review. The applicant
and any persons requesting notice will be notified at least ten days prior to the committee
meeting.
2. All development proposals submitted pursuant to this section are reviewed by the
design review committee, which will make a recommendation on the project to the
planning commission. Review and analysis by the design review committee will consider
design elements, such as, but not limited to, compatibility of the project to surrounding
properties, relationship of the design and layout of the project to the site, architectural
design, and use of materials, grading, landscaping, screening and buffering techniques of
adjacent properties, signs, and open space. The design review committee will determine
if the project adequately meets city design guidelines and standards and will transmit an
appropriate recommendation to the planning commission. The design review committee
shall review the project design submittals and make recommendations to the planning
commission based on:
i. Design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the
applicable elements of the city's general plan, design guidelines of the appropriate
district, and any adopted architectural criteria for specialized area, such as
designated historic districts, theme areas, specific plans, community plan,

commission may deem necessary to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses, to preserve the
public health, safety, and welfare, and to enable the commission to make the findings required by
section 17.20.040.D (Findings).
17.20.060 Conditional use permit
A. Purpose. The purpose of a conditional use permit is to provide a public review process for
the discretionary review of proposed uses and activities that require special consideration to
ensure that their effects are compatible with locational, use, structural, traffic, and/or the
characteristics of neighboring properties and the community. This discretionary review process is
intended to ensure land use compatibility and to mitigate potential impacts or conflicts that could
otherwise result from the proposed use. More specifically, a conditional use permit is intended to:
1. To consider the relationship of the use or project to the surrounding area,
neighborhood, and community as a whole;
2. To determine if the project's use and location is compatible with the types of uses
that are normally permitted in the surrounding area;
3. To consider the compatibility of the proposed use with the site's characteristics;
4. To evaluate the adequacy of services and facilities for the proposed use;
5. To provide an opportunity for public review and comment on the proposed use;
and
6. To identify conditions and requirements necessary to comply with the basic
purposes of this Code, the General Plan, and any applicable plans or regulations
B. Applicability. This section applies to any land use requiring a conditional use permit as
designated with a "C" on the allowed use table (Table 17.30.030-1). Any development subject to
approval of a conditional use permit must comply with all applicable requirements of this Section.
C. Application requirements. An application for a conditional use permit shall be filed with the
planning department in a manner prescribed by the planning director with the required fee as
established by city council resolution.
D. Approving authority. The planning commission is the approving authority for conditional
use permits, except that the approving authority for all industrial buildings with a gross floor area
of 75,000 square feet or greater is the city council. The planning commission may approve,
conditionally approve, or deny a conditional use permit application. In instances when an
application for a conditional use permit is processed concurrently with other land use entitlements
requiring action by the city council, the planning commission shall make a recommendation on
the conditional use permit application to the city council.
Ordinance No. 982 - Page 19 of 100
E. Findings. The approving authority shall make the following findings before approving a

the purposes of the applicable zoning district as well as any applicable specific plans or
city regulations/standards.
3. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use being
proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints that would
make conduct of the use undesirable.
4. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use would
be compatible with the existing and other permitted uses in the vicinity including
transportation and service facilities.
5. Granting the permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious to detrimental

persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property
is located. The factors to be considered in making this finding include:
a. Property damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor, dust,
vibration or illumination caused by the use;
b. Hazard to persons or property from possible explosion, contamination, fire
or flood caused by the use; and,
C. Significantly increase the volume of traffic or negatively alter the pattern of
traffic.
6. The proposed use will not pose an undue burden on city services, including police,
fire, treets, and other public utilities, such that the city is unable to maintain its current
level of service due to the use; and
7. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California
Envil onmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed project has been reviewed in
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

feet of rail (excluding spurs), flood control, utility, or freeway
M
iv
v
corridors. The parallel street shall run through the block. Street
crossings at intersecting corridors shall be established on a case -
by -case basis based on feasibility and needs by the City Engineer.
• Intersections along arterials shall be aligned with existing/proposed
intersections on the opposite side of the arterial where possible and
meet minimum design standards for offsets or clearance from
adjacent corridors as required by the City Engineer.
• Two distinct points of connection shall be provided through an
internal block network to the arterial street network for every
industrial parcel.
Parking location and design
• Surface parking shall be located to the side or to the rear of principle
buildings to the greatest extent feasible.
• Surface parking stalls for employees and guests may incorporate
shade structures that are capable of supporting solar/photovoltaic
array systems with a minimum clearance height of 12 feet.

lanes.
• The applicable tree and landscaping standards are not required in
the sections of the parking areas where solar arrays systems are
placed. See Section 17.56.060.N.1.b (Exception for solar
collectors).
• All new development within the Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial
Employment (IE) Zoning Districts requires a Parking management
plan, see Section 17.64.070 (Parking management plan).

B. Uses not listed. Other uses not specifically listed in this section shall furnish parking as
required by the designated approving authority in determining the off-street parking
requirements. The approving authority shall be guided by the requirements in this section
generally and shall determine the minimum number of spaces required to avoid interference
with public use of streets and alleys. (Code 1980, § 17.64.050; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012; Ord.
No. 863 § 4, 2013)
17.64.060 Reductions in parking requirements.
A. The required number of parking spaces may be reduced in accordance with the following
requirements.
B. Shared parking. In order to encourage efficient use of parking spaces and good design
practices, the total parking requirements for conjunctive uses shall be based on the number of
spaces adequate to meet various needs of the individual uses operating during the peak parking
period.
1. Conditional use permit for shared parking. A conditional use permit may be
approved for shared parking facilities serving more than one use on a site or serving more
than one property. The conditional use permit may allow for a reduction of the total number
of spaces required by this chapter if the following findings are made:
a. The peak hours of parking demand from all uses do not coincide so that
peak demand will not be greater than the parking provided.
i. The efficiency of parking provided will equal or exceed the level that
can be expected if parking for each use were provided separately.
2. Shared parking agreement. A written agreement between the landowners and in
some cases the city that runs with the land shall be filed, in a form satisfactory to the city
attorney, and include:
a. A guarantee that there will be no substantial alteration in the uses that will
create a greater demand for parking without application for approval of an
amended conditional use permit.
b. A reciprocal grant of nonexclusive license among the business operator(s)
and the landowner(s) for access to and use of the shared parking facilities.
C. Evidence that the agreement has been recorded in the county recorder's
office.
C. Other parking reductions. Required parking for any use except a single-family dwelling,
accessory dwelling unit, or two-family dwelling may be reduced through approval of a minor
exception by the planning director. Required parking may be reduced with approval of a
conditional use permit for all new industrial uses in the Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial
Employment (IE) Zoning Districts.
1. Criteria for approval. The approving authority will only grant a minor use permit or
a conditional use permit for reduced parking if it is determined that the project meets all of
the minor use permit criteria in section 17.16.120 (Minor use permits) or the conditional
use permit criteria in section 17.20.060 (Conditional use permit), and that three or more of
the circumstances listed below are true.
a. The use will be adequately served by the proposed parking due to the
nature of the proposed operation; proximity to frequent transit service;
transportation characteristics of persons residing, working, or visiting the site; or
because the applicant has undertaken a travel demand management program that
will reduce parking demand at the site.
b. Parking demand generated by the project will not exceed the capacity of or
have a detrimental impact on the supply of on -street parking in the surrounding
area.
C. The site plan is consistent with the objectives of the zoning district and
incorporates features such as unobtrusive off-street parking placed below the
RR
ground level of the project with commercial uses above or enclosed parking on the
ground floor.
d. The applicant has provided on -site parking for car -share vehicles via a
recorded written agreement between the landowner and the city that runs with the
land. Agreement shall provide for proof of a perpetual agreement with a car -share
agency to provide at least one car share vehicle on -site.
2. Application submittal requirements. In order to evaluate a proposed project's
compliance with the above criteria, the planning director may require submittal of a parking
demand study that substantiates the basis for granting a reduced number of spaces.
D. Mixed use parking. All mixed use projects shall include a parking study prepared by a
qualified traffic/parking consultant that demonstrates how proposed land uses utilize the parking
spaces that are required per section 17.64.050-1. Parking studies are subject to review and
acceptance by the director of engineering services/city engineer and planning director, and an
independent peer review consultant. The parking study may also include a discussion of the
following options for a reduction of required parking, including, but not limited to:
Shared parking may be provided per section 17.64.060 B.
2. 1 State density bonus may be provided per chapter 17.46.
3. Tandem parking may be counted towards the required parking calculation.
4. Implement a parking management strategy that may contain the following
prov sions, but are not limited to:
a. Monitored with periodic inspections;
b. Storage within the unit, and not within garage (view windows on garages);
C. HOA to enforce limitation of number of vehicles per unit;
d. Time restriction on guest parking; and
e. Shuttles that cater to users within the development.
5. Implement a car/bicycle share program in which vehicles/bicycles are made
available for shared use to individuals on a short term basis. (Code 1980, § 17.64.060;
Ord.I No. 855, § 4, 2012; Ord. No. 881 § 4, 2015; Ord. No. 938 § 9, 2018)
E. Induotrial use parking — "land banking"
1. If the final end -user has not been determined for an industrial development for
whic i entitlements are requested pursuant to the provisions of this Code, and the parking
and oading demand characteristics for the use are unknown, the anticipated maximum
amoint of employee, truck, and trailer parking specified in Table 17.64.050-1 (Parking
Requirements by Land Use) shall be determined. In addition, the director may require the
submittal of a parking and loading demand study to be prepared by the applicant or by the
city and funded by the applicant. Such a study shall estimate the parking demand for the
likely proposed use(s) including a worst case scenario based on the recommendations of
the Institute of Traffic Engineers, Urban Land Institute, the American Planning Association,
or other acceptable source of parking demand data for uses and/or combinations of uses
of comparable activities, scale, bulk, area, and location.
2. The applicant shall submit a site plan acceptable to the director showing how all
the parking for employees, trucks, and trailers will be provided on the site in compliance
with the applicable requirements of this chapter. However, if the director determines that
not all of the parking is required for the final proposed use(s), then subject to the provisions
of section 17.14.100 (Modification), the excess "land banked" parking may be identified
on the approved site plan and not constructed until such time as the parking is required
M
for a future use(s). These areas shall be set aside as open space and landscaped in such
a manner that they will not be used for parking. In addition, a binding covenant or other
legal agreement in a form acceptable to the city attorney shall be submitted and signed
by the property owner and tenant guaranteeing that the reserved open space will be
constructed for employee, truck or trailer parking if a change to a more parking -intensive
use occurs.
3. The applicant shall conduct a study of actual parking use to be carried out by a
qualified consultant at the time of change of tenancy or within three years after the facility
is fully occupied and the use established or at other such earlier time as deemed
necessary by the director due to observed parking deficiencies or traffic queuing. The
parking study shall be subject to approval by the director. The city may require construction
of some or all of the additional parking if the parking study demonstrates need. If the owner
fails to comply, the city may, but shall not be obligated to, undertake construction of the
required additional parking. Any costs and expenses incurred by the city shall be the
responsibility of the owner.
17.64.070 Parking management plan
A. Purpose. This section provides regulatory standards governing the requirements of
parking management plans in the Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment (IE) Zoning
Districts. The purpose of the plan is to minimize traffic, manage on -site circulation, and effectively
allocate parking needs for each industrial site.
B. Applicability. A parking management plan shall be provided as part of a comprehensive
effort for establishing employee, guest, truck, and trailer parking in a new industrial development
within the Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment (IE) Zoning Districts and how those
spaces are managed.
C. Parking management plan. A parking management plan shall be processed as a part of
the site development review, subject to approval of the planning commission. The plan shall
comply with the following:
1. The parking management plan shall be based on a parking study documenting
parking demand beyond the minimum allowance in Table 17.64.050-1 (Parking
Requirements by Land Use).
2. The parking management plan shall identify the location of specific parking
facilities and the number of parking spaces in such facilities that are available to meet the
parking demand of the new development.
3. Parking identified on the plan shall be delineated as being reserved for employees,
guests, trucks, or trailers, and whether other access control measures are used to ensure
the availability and enforcement of the plan as well as on -site vehicle circulation.
4. The parking analysis shall demonstrate that parking for all users is provided,
identifying existing supply and demand for similar uses and what will be provided on site.
5. The owner or manager designee of a development approved under the parking
management plan shall provide an accurate and current record of the uses and parking
allocation for the development. The planning director may require this record to be
provided or updated annually if it is determined that parking for the proposed use is
impacting adjacent streets, and when the owner applies for a change in use or
development plan review for the subject site.

Amendments to Chapter 17.66 (Performance Standards)
Amended Section:
17.66.110 Special industrial performance standards.
17.66.110 Special industrial performance standards.
A. Purpose. The performance standards allow industrial uses to operate consistent with the
overall characteristics of the land use category to provide for a healthy, safe, and pleasing
environment in keeping with the nature and level of surrounding industrial activity. The
performance standards contained in Table 17.66.110-1 (Industrial Performance Standards) are
applied based on the zoning districts as follows:
1. Industrial Park (IP) Zoning District, Class A performance standards. The most
restr ctive of the performance standards to ensure a high quality working environment and
available sites for industrial and business firms whose functional and economic needs
requ re protection from the adverse effects of noise, odors, vibration, glare, or high-
interj sity illumination, and other nuisances.
2. Neo'-Industrial (NI) Zoning District, Class 8 performance standards. These
stan ards are intended to enable a complementary mix of uses and provide for a limited
rang' of industrial activity while assuring a basic level environmental protection. It is the
intent of the standards of this section to provide for uses whose operational needs may
produce noise, vibration, particulate matter and air contaminants, odors, or humidity, heat,
and glare which cannot be mitigated sufficiently to meet the Class A standards. The
standards are so designed to protect uses on adjoining sites from effects which could
adversely affect their functional and economic viability.
3. Industrial Employment (IE) Zoning District, Class C performance standards. It is
the i itent of the standards of this section to make allowances for industrial uses whose
asso-iated processes produce noise, particulate matter and air contaminants, vibration,
odor humidity, heat, glare, or high -intensity illumination which would adversely affect the
functonal and economic viability of other uses. The standards, when combined with
standards imposed by other governmental agencies, serve to provide basic health and
safety protection for persons employed within or visiting the area.

B. In the Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment (IE) Zoning Districts an on -site
renewable energy system must be provided on all new industrial developments that include the
construction of a new building, which meets the following standards.
1. The renewable energy system may be a solar collector system or other form of on -
site renewable energy, provided such renewable energy source is recognized by the State
of California as a renewable resource under the Renewable Portfolio Standard Program.
2. The renewable energy system shall be built to generate an amount of electricity
sufficient to meet the following criteria:
a. Annualized building demand based on the approved use or, if no use is
proposed, then the demand for the most energy intensive use that could occupy
the building; and
b. Annualized demand required to charge fully electric vehicles and trucks,
assuming that all vehicles and trucks to the site are fully electric; and
C. A reasonable rate of efficiency loss over 10 years.
3. The renewable energy system shall be metered separately from the non-
renewable metered power usage of the building.
4. Solar collectors may be installed on support structures that provide shade over
parking areas to achieve minimum requirements.
95
5. Developments subject to this section and subject to a conditional use permit shall
phase construction and operation of renewable energy sources pursuant to a phasing plan
approved by the city engineer and subject to the following requirements:
a. Renewable energy generation in each phase shall meet or exceed annualized
demand for the facility described in subsection 2(a) through 2(c) above based
on the proposed use, building design and operation and electric vehicles and
trucks anticipated to be in operation during each phase;
b. Identify thresholds and events that would prevent or cause progress to the
next phase;
c. Provide for biennial review and evaluation of the building and electrical
demand for compliance with the phasing plan conditions; and
d. Phasing plans shall include a tolling provision to delay implementation of all
or a portion of the plan's implementation should the electric utility serving the
development provide written certification that it can only accept a specified
limited amount of renewable energy from the development along with an
explanation of why and what events would trigger a change or increase in the
amount accepted. The need for continued tolling shall be recertified by the
electric utility as part of the biennial review and evaluation described in
paragraph 5(c) above.
C. No person shall allow a tree or shrub to be placed or grown so as to cast a shadow greater
than ten penjcent of the collector absorption area upon that solar collector surface on the property
of another t any one time between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., provided that this
section sha I not apply to specific trees and shrubs which at the time of installation of a solar
collector or uring the remainder of that annual solar cycle cast a shadow upon that solar collector.
D. The ocation of a solar collector is required to comply with the local building and setback
regulations nd to be set back not less than five feet from the property line or any easement that
is adjacent I D the property line.
E. Devo.,lopers, of all new residential subdivisions shall dedicate easements for the purpose
of assuring hat each lot or dwelling unit shall have the right to receive sunlight across adjacent
lots or units for use of a solar energy system. The easements may be contained in a declaration
of restrictions for the subdivision, which shall be recorded concurrently with recordation of the
final map or issuance of permits, whichever shall first occur. The easements shall prohibit the
casting of shadows by vegetation, structures, fixture, or any other object, except for utility wires
and similar objects.
