Recitals. 1. On April 27, 2022, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing with respect to the above referenced Municipal Code Amendment adopting a comprehensive update to the Development Code and, following the conclusion thereof, adopted Planning Commission Resolution No. 22-14, recommending that the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopt the proposed Municipal Code Amendment. 2. On May 18, 2022, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed Municipal Code 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 May 18, 2022, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, the City Council hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The City adopted its last comprehensive update to Development Code in 2010, 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 updated General Plan, adopted in December 2021; (ii) ensure compliance with applicable Federal and State legislation; (iii) incorporate form-based zoning regulations for walkable mixed-use development; (iv) incorporate appropriate standards from older Specific Plan and Planned Communities to allow for the repeal of outdated plans; (v) add new objective design standards for multi-family and mixed-use development projects; and (vi) clarify Code content, address existing deficiencies, and improve usability; 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 2021. The City made the Public Draft Development Code Update ("Public Draft") available for public review on Ordinance No. 1000 - Page 1 of 7 April 7, 2022. 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. SECTION 3: The City has prepared an Addendum (the "Addendum") to the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 2021050261) (the "Final EIR") prepared for the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Update, attached hereto as Attachment B to this Ordinance, which confirms that the environmental impacts stemming from the proposed Municipal Code Amendment were adequately addressed in the Final EIR and that neither a subsequent EIR, a supplemental EIR, nor a negative declaration is required for environmental review of the proposed Municipal Code Amendment. 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 "CEQA") based also on the following specific findings and determinations: a. On December 15, 2021, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted Resolution Number 2021-132, adopting environmental findings pursuant to CEQA for the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Update, certifying the Final EIR, adopting a statement of overriding considerations, and adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The General Plan Update specifically contemplated revisions to and a comprehensive update of the Development Code such as is accomplished by the proposed Municipal Code Amendment and the Final EIR analyzed the impacts thereof. b. The proposed Municipal Code Amendment 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 proposed Municipal Code Amendment simply implements the goals and policies adopted in the City's updated General Plan and analyzed in the Final EIR. c. There have been no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the proposed Municipal Code Amendment 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 addressed the impacts of adopting the City's updated General Plan, and revisions to the development code and was certified on December 15, 2021. Since adoption of the updated General Plan in 2021, 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 proposed Municipal Code Amendment 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 Ordinance No. 1000 - Page 2 of 7 previously found to be infeasible would now be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the proposed Municipal Code Amendment; 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. The City Council, exercising its independent judgment after considering the administrative record, hereby adopts the Addendum to the certified Final EIR, attached hereto as Attachment B, reaffirms the findings adopted as part of the Final EIR certification and set forth in Resolution No. 2021-132 as remaining applicable to the proposed Municipal Code Amendment. The custodian of records for the Addendum, documents and other materials that constitute the record of the proceedings upon which the City Council's decision is based, including, but are not limited to, the staff reports for the proposed Municipal Code Amendment, all of the materials that comprise and support the Addendum to the certified Final EIR and all of the materials that support the staff reports for the proposed Municipal Code Amendment, is the Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730. SECTION 4: Based on the foregoing, the City Council hereby adopts the proposed Municipal Code Amendment adopting a comprehensive update to the Development Code, as set forth in Attachment A attached to this Ordinance and incorporated herein by reference. The Municipal Code Amendment set forth in Attachment A replaces, in its entirety, the provisions of the City's existing Title 17 ("Development Code") of the Municipal Code. SECTION 5: The provisions of this Ordinance, insofar as they are substantially the same as provisions of ordinances previously adopted by the City relating to the same matter, shall be construed as restatements and continuations of the earlier enactment, and not as new enactments.

SECTION 10: The City Council declares that, should any provision, section, paragraph, sentence, or word of this Ordinance be rendered or declared invalid by any final court action in a court of competent jurisdiction, or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences and words of this Ordinance shall remain in full force and effect.

Wherever conflict occurs between the provisions of this title and any other provision of law,the more restrictive of any such provisions shall apply,except for conflicts between the requirements of this title and any adopted specific plan or special planning area, in which case, the requirements of the specific plan or special planning area shall govern. H. Severability. If any portion of this title is for any reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unconstitutional, or unenforceable, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this title.The city council hereby declares that this title and each article,chapter, section,subsection,paragraph,subparagraph,sentence,clause,phrase,and portion thereof is adopted, irrespective of the fact that one or more portions of this title may be declared invalid,unconstitutional, or unenforceable.

A tree removal application may be submitted together with any application for tentative subdivision maps or other proposals for urban development. 3. In addition to required application materials, the planning director may cause to be prepared, at the applicant's expense,a report by a qualified arborist to assist in making a determination on an application for a tree removal permit. 4. If more than five trees are proposed to be removed,the planning director shall,not less than ten days before rendering a decision,provide for public comment through notice to adjacent property owners of the pending application. The notice shall include: a. Description of the tree removal permit request. b. Results of the investigation by staff. 5. The planning director shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny the application for a tree removal permit,and may impose such conditions deemed necessary to implement the provisions of this chapter, including,but not limited to: a. Replacement of the removed tree or trees with equal or greater number of tree(s) of species and quantity commensurate with the aesthetic value of the tree or trees removed. b. Tree relocation to another site on the property;provided that the environmental conditions of said new location are favorable to the survival of the tree and provided further that such relocation is accomplished by a qualified landscape architect or qualified arborist. G. Historic landmark designation.Where the trees in question are designated as a historic landmark,a request for a tree removal permit shall be subject to review and approval by the historic preservation commission and certificate of appropriateness procedure pursuant to chapter 17.18 (Historic Preservation Commission Decisions). The action of the historic preservation commission can be appealed to the city council. H. Emergency waiver. Where the planning director determines a tree to be in a dangerous condition requiring emergency action to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare,the permit requirement may be waived. In the event of an emergency caused by a hazardous or dangerous tree, which condition poses an immediate threat to person or property, any member of the fire district may authorize the destruction or removal of such tree without securing a permit. I. Factors for consideration. 1. Private property. Where an application for a tree removal permit is filed on private property and is limited to five trees,the planning director shall consider the following prior to approval: a. The condition of the tree(s)with respect to disease, danger of collapse of all or any portion of the tree(s),proximity to an existing structure, or interference with utility services. b. The necessity to remove a tree in order to construct improvements which allow economic enjoyment of the property. c. The number of trees existing in the neighborhood, and the effect the removal would have on the established character of the area and the property values. d. Whether or not such trees are required to be preserved by any specific plan, community plan, condition of approval, or designation as a historic landmark. 2. Associated with a proposal for development. Where an application for a tree removal permit is associated with a proposal for development or is on private property and involves greater than five trees,the planning director shall consider the following: a. The condition of the tree(s)with respect to disease, danger of collapse of all or any portion of the tree(s),proximity to an existing structure, or interference with utility services. b. The necessity to remove a tree in order to construct improvements which allow economic enjoyment of the property. c. The number of trees existing in the neighborhood, and the effect the removal would have on the established character of the area and the property values. d. Whether or not the removal of the tree(s) is necessary to construct required improvements within the public street right-of-way or within a flood control or utility right-of-way. e. Whether or not the tree could be preserved by pruning and proper maintenance or relocation rather than removal. f. Whether or not such tree(s) constitute a significant natural resource of the city. g. Whether or not such trees are required to be preserved by any specific plan, community plan, condition of approval, or designation as a historic landmark. J. Findings. The director shall approve, or approve with conditions, an application for a tree removal permit after finding all of the following: 1. For a development project, every effort has been made to incorporate the tree(s)into the design of the project and the only appropriate alternative is the removal of the tree; 2. For requests not associated with a development project,the tree presents a threat to public health and safety and must be removed; and 3. The removal of the tree will not have a negative impact on the health, safety, or viability of surrounding trees, nor will it negatively impact the aesthetics or general welfare of the surrounding area.

(Code 1980, § 17.16.140; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012; Ord.No. 867,2014) 17.16.150 Reasonable accommodation. A. Purpose and intent. In accordance with federal and state fair housing laws, it is the purpose of this section to allow for reasonable accommodations in the city's zoning and land use regulations,policies, and practices when needed to provide an individual with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. The intent is to alleviate the need for a variance request for a reasonable accommodation as described herein. B. Permit application. 1. Applicant. A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability, their representative, or a developer or provider of housing for individuals with a disability. A reasonable accommodation may be approved only for the benefit of one or more individuals with a disability. 2. Application. An application for a reasonable accommodation from a zoning regulation, policy, or practice shall be made on a form specified by the planning director. No fee shall be required for a request for reasonable accommodation, but if the project requires another discretionary permit,then the prescribed fee shall be paid for all other discretionary permits. 3. Other discretionary permits. If the project for which the request for reasonable accommodation is made requires another discretionary permit or approval,then the applicant may file the request for reasonable accommodation together with the application for the other discretionary permit or approval.The processing procedures of the discretionary permit shall govern the joint processing of both the reasonable accommodation and the discretionary permit. A s stated in section 17.16.150.A(Purpose and Intent), a variance is not required for the reasonable accommodation. However, if the project includes a separate request to deviate from city standards unrelated to the accommodation, a variance application may be required. 4. Required submittals. In addition to materials required under other applicable provisions of this Code, an application for reasonable accommodation shall include the following: a. Documentation that the applicant is: i. An individual with a disability; ii. Applying on behalf of one or more individuals with a disability; iii. A developer or provider of housing for one or more individuals with a disability; ii. The specific exception or modification to the zoning code provision,policy,or practices requested by the applicant; b. Documentation that the specific exception or modification requested by the applicant is necessary to provide one or more individuals with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy the residence; and c. Any other information that the director reasonably concludes is necessary to determine whether the findings required by this section to approve a reasonable accommodation, so long as any request for information regarding the disability of the individuals benefited complies with fair housing law protections and the privacy rights of the individuals affected. C. Review procedure. The planning director is the designated approval authority for reasonable accommodation requests and shall approve a reasonable accommodation request if the compliance requirements below are addressed. D. Required findings.The written decision to approve a request for reasonable accommodation shall be based on the following findings,all of which are required for approval: 1. The requested accommodation is requested by or on the behalf of one or more individuals with a disability protected under the fair housing laws. 2. The requested accommodation is necessary to provide one or more individuals with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. 3. The requested accommodation will not impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the city as "undue financial or administrative burden" is defined in fair housing laws and interpretive case law. 4. The requested accommodation will not result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the city's zoning program, as "fundamental alteration" is defined in fair housing laws and interpretive case law. 5. The requested accommodation will not, under the specific facts of the case, result in a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals or substantial physical damage to the property of others. E. Conditions. The planning director is authorized to approve or deny applications and to impose reasonable conditions upon such approval,as the director may deem necessary to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses,to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare,and to enable the director to make the findings required by section 17.16.150.D(Required Findings). F. Alternative reasonable accommodations. The decision maker may approve alternative reasonable accommodations that provide an equivalent level of benefit to the applicant. G. Consideration factors. The city may consider, but is not limited to, the following factors in determining whether the requested accommodation is necessary to provide one or more individuals with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling: 1. Whether the requested accommodation will affirmatively enhance the quality of life of one or more individuals with a disability; 2. Whether the individual or individuals with a disability will be denied an equal opportunity to enjoy the housing type of their choice absent the accommodation; 3. In the case of a residential care facility, whether the requested accommodation is necessary to make facilities of a similar nature or operation economically viable in light of the particularities of the relevant market and market participants; and 4. In the case of a residential care facility, whether the existing supply of facilities of a similar nature and operation in the community is sufficient to provide individuals with a disability an equal opportunity to live in a residential setting. H. Consideration factors; fundamental alteration to zoning program. The city may consider, but is not limited to, the following factors in determining whether the requested accommodation would require a fundamental alteration in the nature of the city's zoning program: 1. Whether the requested accommodation would fundamentally alter the character of the neighborhood; 2. Whether the requested accommodation would result in a substantial increase in traffic or insufficient parking; 3. Whether the requested accommodation would substantially undermine any express purpose of either the city's general plan or an applicable specific plan; and 4. In the case of a residential care facility, whether the requested accommodation would create an institutionalized environment due to the number of and distance between facilities that are similar in nature or operation. I. Rules while decision is pending.While a request for reasonable accommodation is pending,all laws and regulations otherwise applicable to the property that is the subject of the request shall remain in full force and effect. J. Effective date.No reasonable accommodation shall become effective until the decision to grant such accommodation shall have become final by reason of the expiration of time to make an appeal. In the event an appeal is filed, the reasonable accommodation shall not become effective unless and until a decision is made by the city council on such appeal,pursuant to the provisions of this section. K. Expiration. Any reasonable accommodation approved in accordance with the terms of this chapter shall expire within 24 months from the effective date of approval or at an alternative time specified as a condition of approval unless: 1. A building permit has been issued and construction has commenced; 2. A certificate of occupancy has been issued; 3. The use is established; or 4. A time extension has been granted. L. Time extension.The planning director may approve a single one-year time extension for a reasonable accommodation for good cause. An application for a time extension shall be made in writing to the director no less than 30 days or more than 90 days prior to the expiration date. The request for an extension shall be subject to the same notice, hearing, and appeal requirements applicable to the original application. M. Violation of terms. Any reasonable accommodation approved in accordance with the terms of this Code may be revoked if any of the conditions or terms of such reasonable accommodation are violated, or if any law or ordinance is violated in connection therewith. Revocation of a reasonable accommodation shall be subject to the same notice, hearing, and appeal requirements applicable to the original application. N. Discontinuance. A reasonable accommodation shall lapse if the exercise of rights granted by it is discontinued for 180 consecutive calendar days.If the persons initially occupying a residence vacate, the reasonable accommodation shall remain in effect only if the planning director determines that: 1. The modification is physically integrated into the residential structure and cannot easily be removed or altered to comply with the zoning code; or 2. The accommodation is necessary to give another disabled individual an equal opportunity to enjoy the dwelling. The director may request the applicant or his or her successor in interest to the property to provide documentation that subsequent occupants are persons with disabilities. Failure to provide such documentation within ten days of the date of a request by the city shall constitute grounds for discontinuance by the city of a previously approved reasonable accommodation. O. Revocation.Any revocation shall be noticed and heard pursuant to the procedures established in this title. P. Amendments.A request for changes in conditions of approval of a reasonable accommodation, or a change to plans that would affect a condition of approval shall be treated as a new application. The director may waive the requirement for a new application if the changes are minor, do not involve substantial alterations or addition to the plan or the conditions of approval,and are consistent with the intent of the original approval.

The following section applies to designations of historic landmarks,points of historic interest, and conservation districts. A. Types of designations. 1. Automatic designation. Any property within the city that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places or the California Register of Historic Resources is automatically designated as a landmark for purposes of this chapter. 2. Prior designations. Any historic landmark or point of historic interest previously designated as such by the city on or before the effective date of this chapter shall continue to be a historic landmark or point of historic interest as previously designated for purposes of this chapter and shall be subject to all provisions herein. 3. New designations. The city council may designate any structure, property, or properties as a historic landmark, point of historic interest, or contributing resource subject to the criteria and procedures set forth in this chapter. 4. Amendment or rescission. The city council may amend or rescind the designation of any historic landmark,point of historic interest,historic district, or conservation district for purposes of this chapter, subject to the same procedures required for their designation, including without limitation hearing and recommendation of the planning commission. B. Designation criteria for historic landmarks. 1. The city council may designate a property as a historic landmark if it meets the requirements below. 2. Historic landmarks must meet at least one of the following criteria: a. It is or was once associated with events that made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. b. It is or was once associated with persons important to local, state, or national history. c. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type,period,or method of construction. d. It represents the work of a master,possesses high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. e. It has yielded or has the potential to yield information important to the prehistory or history of the local area,California, or the nation. 3. Historic landmarks must retain integrity from their period of significance with respect to location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, association, or any combination of these factors. A proposed landmark need not retain all such original aspects,but must retain sufficient integrity to convey its historic, cultural, or architectural significance. Neither the deferred maintenance of a proposed landmark nor its dilapidated condition shall, on its own,be equated with a loss of integrity. Integrity shall be judged with reference to the particular characteristics that support the property's eligibility. C. Designation criteria for points of historic interest. 1. The city council may designate a property as a point of historic interest if it meets the requirements applicable to historic landmarks under section 17.18.020.B (Designation Criteria for Historic Landmarks). Points of historic interest shall not be required to retain integrity from their periods of significance. 2. Designated points of historic interest shall not be subject to the same restrictions applicable to designated historic landmarks and contributing resources. 3. Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting or foreclosing analysis of the impacts of a proposed project on a point of historic interest under the California Environmental Quality Act. 4. The commission shall maintain a current register of points of historic interest for public use and information. D. Designation criteria for historic districts and conservation districts. 1. The city council may designate a property or collection of properties as a historic district if the proposed district meets the requirements of both section 17.18.020.B (Designation Criteria for Historic Landmarks) and section 17.18.020.0 (Designation Criteria for Points of Historic Interest). 2. A historic district must meet at least one of the following criteria: a. It has an identifiable, clear, and distinct boundary that possesses a significant concentration of structures sharing common historical,visual, aesthetical, cultural, archaeological, or architectural plan or physical development. b. It demonstrates character, interest, or value as part of the development,heritage, or cultural characteristics of the community, state, or country. c. It is the site of a significant local, state, or national event. d. It is associated with the lives of persons important to local, state,or national history. e. It is identifiable as the work of a master builder, designer, architect, artist, or landscape architect whose individual work has influenced the development of the community, county, state, or country. 3. Historic districts must retain integrity from their period of significance with respect to location, design,setting,materials,workmanship,feeling,and association.Not all properties or structures in a proposed district need to retain all such original aspects, but a substantial number of such properties and structures must retain sufficient integrity to convey the historic, cultural, or architectural significance of the district.Neither deferred maintenance within a proposed district nor the dilapidated condition of its constituent buildings and landscapes shall, on its own, be equated with a loss of integrity. Integrity shall be judged with reference to the particular characteristics that support the district's eligibility. E. Conservation districts.The city council may designate a property or collection of properties that do not qualify as a historic district as a conservation district if the proposed district has either: 1. A distinctive, cohesive, and identifiable setting, character, or association that makes it unique and an integral part of the city's identity. 2. A recognized neighborhood identity and a definable physical character and either high artistic value or a relationship to urban centers or historic districts that makes conservation of the proposed conservation district essential to the city's history or function. F. Owner consent. Owner consent is not required for a structure or property to be designated as a point of historic interest, historic landmark, or contributing resource. However, a structure or property cannot be designated as either a historic landmark or a contributing resource over the owner's objection unless the city council makes all of the following findings: 1. The structure or property is on the city's historical inventory. 2. The structure or property possesses exceptional architectural, historical, aesthetic, or cultural qualities. 3. Designation will preserve or protect the exceptional qualities of the structure or property. G. Designation procedures—Historic landmarks and points of historic interest. 1. Application.The city council,historic preservation commission,planning director,or the owners of the subject property or their authorized agents may apply for a historic landmark or point of historic interest designation. A third party that believes that a property or structure should be designated may submit a written request for the commission to initiate an application. In the event the city council or commission initiates the application, the planning director shall complete the required application. 2. Except as necessary to correct an unsafe or dangerous condition pursuant to section 17.18.080(Unsafe or Dangerous Condition), it shall be unlawful for any person to carry out or cause to be carried out any activity requiring a certificate of appropriateness on a proposed historic landmark for which an application has been filed until the city council has taken final action denying the application. 3. Survey. Within 45 days of when a designation application is deemed complete, the planning director shall conduct a survey to document all potentially historic features of the subject property and prepare a report to the commission. 4. Approval. The city council is the final approval authority for designations with a recommendation from the commission. 5. Upon designation by the city council, the planning director shall record the location, characteristics, and significance of the historic landmark or point of historic interest on a California Depatltuent of Parks and Recreation Historic Resources Inventory Form 523 and include therewith a description of the particular features that are to be preserved and the legal description of the historic resource. 6. A designated historic landmark or point of historic interest may be identified by an approved city marker,but such a marker is not required. H. Designation procedures—Historic districts and conservation districts. 1. Procedures for the application and designation of historic districts and conservation districts shall be the same as those applicable to historic landmarks and points of historic interest except as modified by this section. 2. Except as necessary to correct an unsafe or dangerous condition pursuant to section 17.18.080(Unsafe or Dangerous Conditions),it shall be unlawful for any person to carry out or cause to be carried out any activity requiring a certificate of appropriateness for any property within the boundaries of a proposed historic or conservation district for which an application is pending. 3. Whenever the city council designates a historic district or conservation district,it shall also adopt a written description and clear depiction of the district boundaries; an inventory that identifies and describes contributing resources for the district; and a conservation plan to regulate the manner in which the preservation objectives of the district will be attained. (Code 1980, § 17.18.020; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.18.030 Maintenance of historic resources. A.

(Code 1980, § 17.26.010; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.26.020 Zones established. A. Zone purpose. Zones are established in order to classify, regulate, designate, and distribute the uses of land and buildings; to regulate and restrict the height, setbacks and bulk of buildings; to regulate the area of yards and other open spaces around buildings; and to regulate the density of population. The city is divided into zones that are grouped into two categories: (a) base zones and (b) overlay zones. These zones are listed and described in Table 17.26.020-1 (Rancho Cucamonga Zones),along with the general plan land use designation that they implement. B. Base zones. The base zone is the primary zone that applies to a property. Every parcel throughout the city has a base zone that establishes the primary land use type, density, intensity, and site development regulations. Base zones are grouped into five categories as follows: 1. Residential Zones. 2. Form-Based Zones . 3. Industrial Zones. 4. Open Space Zones. 5. Special Purpose Zones. C. Overlay zones.The Overlay Zones supplement base zones for one or more of the following purposes: 1. To allow more flexibility from the standard provisions of the underlying base zone. 2. To protect unique site features or implement location-specific regulations. 3. To specify a particular standard or guideline for an area. D. Sub zones. Sub zones are subsets of the primary zone. Sub zones align with the primary zone development standards and uses requirements except where otherwise noted in this title. E. In the event of a conflict between the regulations of the base zone and the Overlay Zone,the provisions of the Overlay Zone shall apply.

(Code 1980, § 17.26.020; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) Chapter 17.28 ADOPTION OF ZONING MAP 17.28.010 Zoning map established. The city council hereby adopts the city zoning map (hereafter referred to as the zoning map) as the official designation of zone boundaries on real property within the city. The zoning map shall be regulated as set forth below. A. Incorporated by reference. The zoning map is hereby incorporated into this Development Code by reference as though it were fully included. B. Map amendments. Amendments to the zoning map shall follow the zoning amendment process established in chapter 17.22 (City Council Decisions)and shall be reflected on the city's zoning map. C. Record of zoning map changes. The zoning map and a record of all prior amendments thereto shall be kept on file with the city clerk and shall constitute the original record. Electronic and hard copies of the currently effective zoning map shall also be kept on file with the planning department. D. Relationship to general plan. The zoning map shall implement and be consistent with the city's adopted general plan. E. Zone symbol.Zones shall be illustrated on the zoning map as follows: 1. Each base zone shall be shown on the zoning map by use of its representative zone symbol, as listed in Table 17.26.020-1 (Rancho Cucamonga Zones). 2. Each adopted Specific Plan shall be delineated with the respective zone symbol (SP ) and number to distinguish it from other adopted Specific Plans and/or Planned Communities. This designation on the zoning map serves to provide a reference to the corresponding master plan project documents adopted by the city council. 3. Each Overlay Zone shall be shown on the zoning map by use of its representative symbol in conjunction with the base zone symbol (e.g., VL-H), as listed in Table 17.26.020-1 (Rancho Cucamonga Zones). (Code 1980, § 17.28.010; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.28.020 Zoning map interpretation. If there is uncertainty about the location of any zone boundary shown on the zoning map,the precise location of the boundary shall be determined by the planning director as listed below. A. The boundaries of a zone shall be the parcel lines of real property, unless otherwise shown. Where a zone's boundaries approximately follow plot lines,those lines shall be interpreted as the zone boundaries. B. If a zone boundary divides a parcel and the boundary line location is not specified by distances printed on the zoning map,the location of the boundary shall be determined by using the scale appearing on the zoning map. Except as otherwise provided by this Code through integrated development, each portion of the property shall be developed to the standards and allowed use provisions of the applied zone and any applied overlay zone(s). C. Where the street layout on the ground or the parcel lines differs from such layout or lines shown on the zoning map,the planning director shall determine the exact boundary and the zoning map shall be amended to conform to the layout on the ground. D. Where a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the property that was formerly in the street or alley shall be included within the zone of the adjoining property on either side of the centerline of the vacated or abandoned street or alley. (Code 1980, § 17.28.020; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) Chapter 17.30 ALLOWED LAND USE BY BASE ZONE 17.30.010 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to establish allowed land uses and corresponding requirements for permits and entitlements for each of the city's base zones. Standards and allowed use regulations for form-based zones are provided in article VIII(Form-Based Code). Uses allowed herein are consistent with and implement the corresponding land use designations in the city's general plan. Allowed land uses include both primary and accessory uses that are permanent in nature. Regulations for temporary uses are listed separately in chapter 17.104(Temporary Uses). (Code 1980, § 17.30.010; Ord.No. 855, § 4, 2012) 17.30.020 Classification of land uses. In order to simplify land use regulations,land uses listed in this chapter and throughout this title have been grouped into general categories on the basis of common function,product, or compatibility characteristics. These allowed use categories are called"use classifications."Use classifications describe one or more uses having similar characteristics but do not list every use or activity that may appropriately be within the classification. Each land use is described in chapter 17.32 (Allowed Use Descriptions). For example, "personal service use"includes a wide range of individual personal service uses(beauty parlor, dry cleaning,tanning salons,tailors). Rather than listing all such uses individually throughout this title, "personal service use"is listed once and is further described in chapter 17.32 (Allowed Use Descriptions). The following rules apply to use classifications: A. Specific use regulations.Additional use regulations for specific land uses are listed in article V(Specific Use Requirements). B. Temporary uses. Land use classifications in this chapter identify both primary and secondary or accessory uses that are permanent in nature. Temporary uses are separately listed and regulated in chapter 17.104(Temporary Uses). C. Uses not listed. Land uses that are not listed in the zone tables are not allowed, except as otherwise provided for in this title. D. Illegal uses.No use that is illegal under local, state,or federal law shall be allowed in any zone within the city. E. Overlay zones. When a property is located within an Overlay Zone, any special allowed use provisions associated with said Overlay Zone shall apply. If the special allowed use provisions for the Overlay Zone are in conflict with the allowed use provisions of the base zone, the allowed use provisions for the Overlay Zone shall prevail. F. Special planning areas.When a property is located within a designated Special Planning Area(e.g., Specific Plan, Planned Community, master plan), there may be special allowed use provisions associated with the adopted/approved area plan. If the documents associated with the Special Planning Area are silent regarding allowed use provisions,the allowed use provisions of the base zone shall apply. If the allowed use provisions of the adopted/approved area plan conflict with the allowed use provisions of the base zone, the allowed use provisions for the Special Planning Area shall prevail. G. Similar uses. When a use is not specifically listed in this Code, it shall be understood that the use may be permitted if the planning director determines that the use is substantially similar to other uses listed based on established criteria and required findings outlined in section 17.16.100 (Similar Use Determination). It is further recognized that every conceivable use cannot be identified in this title and, anticipating that new uses will evolve over time,the planning director may make a similar use determination to compare a proposed use and measure it against those uses listed. (Code 1980, § 17.30.020; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.30.030 Allowed land uses and permit requirements. A. Allowed land uses. Allowed uses and corresponding permit and entitlement requirements for the base zones are listed in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone). Uses are organized into common categories as follows: 1. Residential uses. 2. Agriculture and animal related uses. 3. Recreation,resource preservation, open space, education, and public assembly uses. 4. Utility,transportation,public facility, and communication uses. 5. Office and service uses. 6. Retail and restaurant uses. 7. Automobile and vehicle uses. 8. Industrial,manufacturing, and processing uses. B. Permit requirements. Generally, a use is either allowed by right, allowed through issuance of a conditional use permit, or not permitted. In addition to the requirements for planning permits or entitlements listed herein, other permits and entitlements may be required prior to establishment of the use (e.g., building permit or permits required by other agencies). The requirements for planning permits or entitlements identified in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone)include: 1. Permitted(P).A land use shown with a"P"indicates that the land use is permitted byright in the designated zone,subject to compliance with all applicable provisions ofthis title(e.g.,development standards)as well state and federal law. 2. Permitted with a Minor Use Permit (M). A land use shown with an "M" indicates that the land use is permitted in the designated zone upon issuance of a minor use permit from the designated approving authority, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this zoning code (e.g., development standards)as well as state and federal law. 3. Conditionally permitted(C).A land use shown with a"C" indicates that the land use is permitted in the designated zone upon issuance of a conditional use permit fromthe designated approving authority,subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this zoning code(e.g.,development standards)as well as state and federal law. 4. Not permitted (N). A land use shown with an "N" is not allowed in the applicable zone. Additionally, uses not shown in the table are not permitted, except as otherwise provided for in this title. 5.

In addition to the allowed use provisions listed in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone), additional allowed use provisions are described in the following articles and chapters of this title: A. Specific use requirements. Article V (Specific Use Requirements) identifies several use types that have special land use and/or development requirements. Some of these use types have special requirements or regulations established by state or federal law and others have special requirements based on local issues, priorities,and preferences.Use regulations in article V are intended to supplement the allowed use regulations in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone). B. Outdoor sales and operations. Unless permitted by definition in chapter 17.32 (Allowed Use Descriptions) or permitted as a temporary use with an approved permit in chapter 17.104 (Temporary Uses), all businesses shall be conducted within an enclosed building. C. Temporary uses.In addition to the permanent land use listings in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone), chapter 17.104 (Temporary Uses) establishes regulations for uses that are temporary in nature. D. Overlay zones. In addition to the allowed land use regulations in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone)for the city's base zones,chapter 17.38 (Overlay Zones)identifies special regulations and requirements for land uses within the Overlay Zones. E. Special planning areas.Article VI(Special Planning Areas)identifies areas of the city with adopted planning documents for development within each respective project area (e.g., specific plans, Planned Communities, master plans). These planning documents establish land use and/or development regulations that are unique to the particular project area. Where those planning documents conflict with allowed use listings in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone), the allowed uses in the Special Planning Area documents shall prevail. F. Conversion of residential structures. No structure originally designed as a residence (including hotels and motels),or as an accessory structure or addition to a residence,shall be used for any commercial or office uses unless the building and site are improved to meet all Code requirements for an office or commercial development. This includes such things as, but not limited to, building code requirements, fire code requirements, and Development Code requirements. Such a conversion shall be subject to the development review or conditional use permit process, as required by the base zone use regulations contained in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone). G. Hillside residential. 1. The Hillside Residential Zone permits single residential dwellings either on separate lots or clustered together in a buildable area along with accessory structures only. Uses other than residential dwellings are deemed to be too intensive and are not consistent with the general plan. 2. Hillside development review is required for any subdivision or development within the Hillside Residential Zone. As part of the hillside development review, environmental studies and investigations such as,but not limited to,geological,hydrological,seismic,slope and soil conditions,access/circulation, and biota research, shall be conducted for any development in this zone. Based on this information, the actual number of dwelling units shall be determined. However, the maximum density shall not exceed two dwelling units per net buildable acre. Determining the buildable area of a site must also meet the performance development criteria in this chapter. Additionally, a site plan showing lot layouts, access, street design, building locations, building design, vegetation management, wildfire protection, and grading shall be prepared in accordance with the review procedures contained in article II(Land Use and Development Procedures). All such proposals must comply with the absolute policies, design standards, and standards in this title. (Code 1980, § 17.30.040; Ord.No. 855, § 4, 2012) H. Additional Agricultural uses. Agricultural uses are allowed on certain lots, subject to the requirements of Section 17.32.030(Agricultural uses permitted or conditionally permitted). I. Industrial Interim uses. Additional uses are allowed in certain industrial zones on an interim basis,according to Section 17.36.40.D. Chapter 17.32 ALLOWED USE DESCRIPTIONS 17.32.010 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to describe use classifications listed in chapter 17.30(Allowed Land Use by Base Zone). Use classifications are land uses that have been grouped into general categories on the basis of common function,product, or compatibility characteristics. This chapter should be used as a reference for the land use classifications listed throughout this title. Additional definitions for specialized terms used in the zoning code can be found in article IX(Glossary). (Code 1980, § 17.32.010; Ord.No. 855, § 4, 2012) 17.32.020 Allowed use descriptions.

All recreation areas or facilities required by this section shall be maintained by private homeowners associations,property owners,or private assessment districts. F. Other miscellaneous residential development standards. 1. Zero lot line. The dwelling unit may be placed on one interior side property line with a zero setback,and the dwelling unit setback on the other interior side property line shall be a minimum of ten feet, excluding the connecting elements such as fences,walls, and trellises. Pools, decks, garden features, and other similar elements shall be permitted within the ten-foot setback area, provided, however, no structure, with the exception of fences or walls, shall be placed within easements required below. Where adjacent zero lot line dwellings are not constructed against a common lot line, the builder or developer must provide for a perpetual wall maintenance easement of five feet in width along the adjacent lot and parallel with such wall. 2. Usable yard area.For single-family detached and semi-detached development,a minimum area of 400 square feet(with a minimum horizontal dimension if any direction of 15 feet) usable rear yard area that is graded flat and level shall be provided between the rear of the primary dwelling unit and the rear property line. If the development is located in an area with slopes or grade differences between properties,then this flat area shall be located at the top or toe(base)of non- retained slope banks. If there are retaining walls, this usable yard area shall be at the top and behind, or at the toe and in frant, of a retaining wall in areas of hilly or sloped terrain where grading is being designed to minimize alteration to the natural land form,usable open space may be provided in the form of decks, patios, balconies, or some similar form of built structure designed to fit the natural topography rather than as graded level yard area. 3. Visitor parking. For projects with private streets or driveways, visitor parking required by chapter 17.64(Parking and Loading Standards) shall be provided in off-street visitor parking bays within 150 feet of all dwelling units. Visitor parking shall be clearly delineated through proper signage. Signage may include,but is not limited to,pavement marking,freestanding signs designating the stalls as visitor parking,and directory signs guiding visitors to the visitor parking area. 4. Driveway depth/width. All lots within single-family detached and semi-detached residential developments shall have driveways designed to accommodate the parking of at least one automobile in a garage and one automobile on the driveway in a manner that does not obstruct sidewalks or streets. Driveways shall have a minimum depth of 19 feet and width of 18 feet. Drive approach shall be developed per city standards. 5. Amenities. To enhance the quality of life for multi-family development, additional amenities shall be required as follows: a. Laundry facility. Each unit shall be provided with a hookup for a washing machine and clothes dryer in the interior of the dwelling,or common laundry facilities shall be provided and equipped with washing machines and clothes dryers at a rate of one washing machine and clothes dryer per five units. Common laundry facilities should be conveniently located for all residents within the complex. Common laundry facilities can be within freestanding buildings,attached to dwelling units,or within the recreation room. The design of the common laundry facilities shall be architecturally compatible to the dwellings. 6. Roofing materials. a. New development within Residential Zones shall have tile roofing material made of clay,ceramic, concrete, slate,or composite materials such as fiber-glass. Metal tile roofing may be considered if it is demonstrated by the applicant that the general appearance of it(such as the surface finish, color, and texture)are equivalent to the general appearance of, for example, concrete tile. b. Existing development within Residential Zones may be re-roofed with a roofing material that is of the same type, e.g., composition shingles,that are currently on the roof. The exception is wood shake which must be replaced with tile or shingle roofing. c. Existing development within Residential Zones with tile roofing material may be re- roofed with composite shingle if it is demonstrated by the applicant that at least 50 percent of the residential structures located on the same street of the subject structure have composite shingle roofing. d. Additions to existing residential structure(s) and new accessory structures shall have roofing material that matches the roofing material on the existing residential structure(s). The exceptions is that a patio cover addition with a flat roof may have composite rolled roofing. 7. Roof-mounted air conditioning units. Replacement of existing permitted roof mounted air conditioning units that are located on residential development may be permitted. All other proposed roof mounted air conditioning units shall be placed entirely out of public view as seen from a public street, sidewalk, or Regional/Community multi-purpose trail. 8. Slope planting. Slope banks five feet or greater in vertical height and of 5:1 or greater slope,but less than 2:1 slope, shall be, at minimum,irrigated and landscaped with groundcover for erosion control. Slope banks five feet or greater in vertical height and of 2:1 or greater slope shall be landscaped and irrigated for erosion control and to soften their appearance as follows: one 15- gallon or larger size tree per each 150 square feet of slope area, one one-gallon or larger size shrub for each 100 square feet of slope area, and appropriate groundcover. In addition, slope banks in excess of eight feet in vertical and of 2:1 or greater slope shall also include one five- gallon or larger size tree per each 250 square feet of slope area. Trees and shrubs shall be planted in staggered clusters to soften and vary slope plane. Slope planting required by this section shall include a permanent irrigation system to be installed by the developer prior to occupancy. Maintenance by a homeowners' association may be required by the planning commission on a case-by-case basis. 9. Waterways. Waterways, if preserved onsite, adjacent, or nearby shall be incorporated into the overall design of the development and count towards open space percentage requirements. G. Special streetscape. It is the intent of this section to create streetscape standards for landscape, building, and parking setbacks that help to identify the function of streets and to improve the scenic quality of the community. Table 17.36.020-3 sets forth the minimum setbacks based on street classification in the general plan circulation plan. These setbacks shall be required of all new developments that contain or abut any one of the street classifications listed in the table. Setbacks shall be measured from the face of the ultimate curb location.

A), 6-17-2015) 17.36.050 Development standards for open space zones. A. Purpose and applicability. The purpose of this section is to establish minimum development standards that are unique to development projects within Open Space Zones. Development standards in this section apply to all land designated on the zoning map within an Open Space Zone. B. Open space zones described. As identified in chapter 17.26 (Establishment of Zones), the city includes three Open Space Zones: Open Space (OS), Flood Control(FC), and Utility Corridor(UC). C. Open space site development standards.General site development standards for Open Space Zones are listed below. These development standards supplement the development standards in article IV (Site Development Provisions)that apply to all zones(e.g.,parking, signs, landscaping, lighting). 1. Open Space (OS)Zone development standards. All development within the Open Space Zone shall comply with the following criteria: a. Minimize alteration to the natural landform. b. Protect areas capable of replenishing groundwater supplies. c. Protect the natural drainage of the area. d. Protect waterways from indiscriminate erosion and pollution. e. Protect lands having biological significance, especially riparian(water-related)areas and their associated woodland vegetation. f.

When removal of vegetation is necessary and grading is to be undertaken, it shall be done in a manner,which will minimize soil erosion. Seeding and mulching or other stabilization measures are to be used to protect the disturbed land following construction. c. No topsoil may be removed from the site except for that area to be covered by improvements. The topsoil from such areas is to be, if practical,redistributed on the site to provide a suitable base for seeding and planting. d. Any fill proposed to be deposited in the floodway must be protected against erosion by riprap,vegetation cover, or bulkheading.No fill may be permitted which, acting alone or in combination with existing or future uses, affects the capacity of the floodway or unduly increases flood heights. e. Those criteria listed in section 17.36.050.C.3 related to structures shall be complied with. f. Any structures or land outside the Flood Control-Open Space Zone which could be subject to flood inundation, as depicted on the Federal Insurance Flood Rate Maps or otherwise by the city engineer, shall comply with flood protection measures as outlined in title 19 of this Code. g. No structure shall become a debris-catching obstacle. 3. Utility Corridor(UC)Zone. All development within the Utility Corridor-Open Space Zone shall comply with the following criteria: a. Buildings shall not be designed nor used for human habitation unless expressly permitted by this chapter. b. All buildings shall be designed for compatibility with surrounding development relative to materials,height, size, scale, and setbacks. c.

The Senior Housing Overlay Zone is intended to facilitate the construction of affordable rental housing units that will serve the current and long-term city need for affordable senior citizen- oriented dwelling units while maintaining a high degree of quality in project design and construction. The zone is further intended, by offering various development incentives, to make the development of senior citizen-oriented affordable units attractive to potential developers while at the same time providing assurances to the city that units developed by use of the incentives offered as part of the Overlay Zone remain available and affordable to the target group intended—senior citizens of low and moderate incomes. B. Applicability. The Senior Housing Overlay Zone may be applied in combination with residential zones. A Senior Housing Overlay Zone shall be indicated on the zoning map by the reference letters "SH"after the reference letter(s)identifying the base zone. C. Target population. The primary resident population group that is intended to be served by the units constructed through use of incentives offered as part of the Senior Housing Overlay Zone are senior citizens who meet the following criteria: 1. For tenants,residents,or occupants who are married to each other,either spouse shall be 55 years of age or older. 2. For individuals who are not married, each individual shall be 55 years of age or older. D. Income restriction.In addition to the age restrictions set forth in subsection C.1 and 2 of this section, any individual or married couple who wish to occupy or reside in the project shall have and maintain an annual income from all sources equal to or less than 80 percent of the median income for persons or families within the County of San Bernardino as currently defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. E. Qualifications.The Senior Housing Overlay Zone requires the presence of certain conditions before it can be applied for or attached to a specific parcel of land. In order to adequately and satisfactorily serve the target population that this zone has been created to serve, any proposed project site must demonstrate the following conditions and features: 1. Appropriate base zone. 2. Land uses in the immediate and surrounding area, current and projected, must be compatible with the living environment required by senior citizens and must be free of health, safety, or noise problems(e.g., area generally quiet). 3. Area infrastructure must be in place or constructed as part of the project and capable of serving the proposed project including: a. Streets; b. Sidewalks; and c. Traffic/pedestrian signals. 4. Proposed site topography must be fairly level and easily traversed by persons of limited mobility. 5. Proposed site must demonstrate proximity to commercial establishments, service providers, and other amenities including: a. Food shopping; b. Drugstores; c. Banks; d. Medical and dental facilities; e. Public transit(main or frequently served routes); and f. Open space/recreational facilities. F. Development incentives. In order to reduce development costs associated with the construction of housing oriented toward senior citizens of low and moderate income, the city is prepared to offer a developer some or all of the following incentives,depending upon the quality,size,nature,and scope of the project proposed. 1. Reduction in required on-site parking.The city will grant a reduction in required on-site parking down to a minimum ratio of 0.7 non-covered parking spaces per unit. 2. Dwelling unit density bonus. In order to maximize net yield per acre, the city will consider increasing the allowable project density by either granting a 25 percent density bonus to the project site's existing density category(per Government Code § 65915),or by granting a request for a change in density range(per the city's general plan),or both depending on the quality,size, nature, and scope of the project. 3. Fee waivers/reductions. Projects submitted under the Senior Housing Overlay Zone may receive, depending upon their size, nature, and scope, a reduction or waiver of some or all city- imposed development submittal and processing fees. Such reductions of waivers may affect the following fee schedules: a. Development review; b. Park fees; c. School fees(when applicable); and d. Other fees(where applicable). 4. Fee reductions or waivers are subject to negotiation between the city and the project developer and will be granted based upon that amount of reduction or waiver necessary to place per unit monthly rental costs in the range affordable to the target population. G. City/developer agreement. Development incentives granted by the city to a developer using the Senior Housing Overlay Zone are predicated upon the long-term availability and affordability of the units for the target population previously defined. In order to ensure that the units remain available and affordable to this group, the developer will be required to enter into a development agreement with the city per Government Code §§ 65864 through 65869.5. H. Administrative guidelines. The city shall establish a process and such administrative guidelines as it shall deem necessary in order to implement the provisions of the Senior Housing Overlay Zone.

A proposed waiver or reduction of development standards shall neither reduce nor increase the number of allowable incentives or concessions under section 17.46.040 (Density Bonuses and Incentives and Concessions Allowed). F. Multiple zones. If the site of a development proposal is located in two or more zones,the number of dwelling units permitted in the development is the sum of the dwelling units permitted in each of the zones based on the site acreage within each zone. The permitted number of dwelling units may be distributed within the development without regard to the zone boundaries. G. Affordable housing requirements.

The purpose of this chapter is to implement the sustainable planning and design provisions of the city general plan. The provisions of this chapter are intended to encourage developers to go above and beyond typical development practices by: creating incentives for compact,mixed-use development; encouraging use of alternative energy sources;promote alternative means of transportation(e.g.,bicycling,walking, transit); creating incentive to reduce energy use; and facilitating low impact development techniques. The provisions contained within this chapter are to be used in combination with other provisions in Article IV (Site Development Provisions)and the adopted CalGreen Building Code. (Code 1980, § 17.50.010; Ord. No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.50.020 Applicability. Compliance with this section shall be determined as part of the related discretionary entitlement review process or minor design review if another discretionary process is not needed. The following applies: A. Non-residential(including mixed-use)development.New buildings,or substantial renovations(see section 17.50.020.D. below), shall comply with all mandatory provisions of the "City of Rancho Cucamonga, Green Building Compliance Matrix (Nonresidential)" as maintained by the planning director and as required by the California CalGreen Building Code. B. Residential development. New buildings, or substantial renovations (see section 17.50.020.D below), shall comply with all mandatory provisions of the "City of Rancho Cucamonga, Green Building Code Compliance Matrix (Residential)" as maintained by the planning director and as required by the California CalGreen Building Code. C. All municipal projects undertaken by the city shall: 1.

(Code 1980, § 17.50.030; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) Chapter 17.52 HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT 17.52.010 Purpose and applicability. The purpose of this chapter is to categorize hillsides into five slope categories and establish limits on land use density.Additional design standards and guidelines are provided in article VII(Design Standards and Guidelines). The development and density limits established in this chapter apply based on the location of property with five established slope zones (section 17.52.020). (Code 1980, § 17.52.010; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.52.020 Establishment of slope zoning limitations. All property within the city can be categorized into one of the following slope zones. Regulations apply as indicated. A. Zone 1 (five percent natural slope or less). This is not a hillside condition. Grading with conventional fully padded lots and terracing is acceptable. B. Slope Zone 2 (five percent to 7.99 percent slope). Development with grading is permitted in this zone, but existing landforms must retain their natural character. Padded building sites are permitted; however, techniques such as contour grading, combined slopes, limited cut and fill, and split-level architectural prototypes, or padding for the structures only,may be required to reduce grading. C. Slope Zone 3 (eight percent to 14.9 percent slope). This is a hillside condition. Special hillside architectural and design techniques(see article VII(Design Standards and Guidelines))that minimize grading are required in this zone. Architectural prototypes are expected to conform to the natural landform by using techniques such as split-level foundations of greater than 18 inches, stem walls, stacking, and clustering. D. Slope Zone 4(15 percent to 29.9 percent).Development within this zone is limited to no more than the less visually prominent slopes and then only where it can be shown that safety, environmental, and aesthetic impacts can be minimized. The use of larger lots, variable setbacks, and variable building structural techniques such as stepped or pole foundations are expected. Structures shall blend with the natural environment through their shape, materials, and colors. Impact of traffic and roadways is to be minimized by following natural contours or using grade separations. E. Slope Zone 5 (30 percent and over). This is an excessive slope condition and development is prohibited,unless all the following are satisfied: 1. The property is located south of Banyan Street; 2. At least 75 percent of the lots or parcels that are the subject of the development application are surrounded by lots or parcels improved with structures; 3. The proposed project is determined to appropriately address slope stability and other geological factors of the site; and 4. Vegetation fuel management for wildfire protection can be achieved and maintained. (Code 1980, § 17.52.020; Ord.No. 855, § 4, 2012) 17.52.030 Density limitations. This section correlates the steepness of the terrain with limitations on development intensity. The total allowable residential dwelling units shall be calculated based on the total(buildable)land area within each slope category multiplied by the capacity factor for each to the slope category. A. Using the land capacity schedule. Table 17.52.030-1 (Land Capacity Calculation) converts the amount of gross site acres into the amount of net buildable acres based on slope measurement. TABLE 17.52.030-1 LAND CAPACITY CALCULATION Land capacity formula: (Acreage of_% slope)x(Capacity ratio)=Net buildable area Acres of Land Adjusted Net Buildable Area Slope Measurement Capacity Ratio (x) (Gross (Acres x Capacity Ratio) Under 10% A 1.000 Ax 10-14.9% B 0.750 Bx 15-19.9% C 0.500 Cx 20-24.9% D 0.250 Dx 25-29.9% E 0.025 Ex +30% F 0.000 Fx Total (Ax+Bx+Cx+Dx+Ex+ Fx) B. Calculating permitted units. The maximum number of dwelling units that may be permitted in a proposed development shall be determined by multiplying the total adjusted net buildable area(Ax+ Bx+Cx+Dx+Ex+Fx) above by the permitted number of allowed units per acre according to the zone. C. Exceptions. The following land areas, meeting any or all of the following criteria, shall not be included in the calculation of total allowable dwelling units: 1. All land areas,regardless of slope, which will be subject to inundation during a 100-year storm after development has occurred. 2. All land which is in a geologic hazard zone,as defined in the public health and safety chapter of the general plan of the city, and for which no feasible mitigation measures are proposed. 3. All land area which lies within a federally recognized blue line stream or contains significant riparian or streambed environs. 4. All the following are satisfied: a. The property is located south of Banyan Street; b. At least 75 percent of the lots or parcels that are the subject of the development application are surrounded by lots or parcels improved with structures; c. The proposed project is determined to appropriately address slope stability and other geological factors of the site; and d. Vegetation fuel management for wildfire protection can be achieved and maintained. (Code 1980, § 17.52.030; Ord.No. 855, § 4, 2012) Chapter 17.54 USES IN HISTORIC STRUCTURES 17.54.010 Purpose.

This section is intended to limit the number and extent of nonconforming uses by regulating their enlargement,reestablishment after abandonment, and alteration or restoration after destruction of the structures they occupy. This section is also intended to limit the number and extent of nonconforming structures by prohibiting their movement, alteration, or enlargement in a manner that would increase the discrepancy between existing conditions and the standards currently prescribed in this Code. (Code 1980, § 17.62.010; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.62.020 Continuation and maintenance. A. A use lawfully operating on a property or within a building/structure or on a property that does not conform with the use regulations or the site development regulations for the district in which the use is located shall be deemed to be a nonconforming use and may be continued to operate, except as otherwise limited in this section. B. A building/structure lawfully occupying a site that does not conform with the standards for front yard, side yards, rear yard, height, coverage, distances between structures, and parking facilities for the district in which the structure is located shall be deemed to be a nonconforming structure and may be used and maintained, except as limited provided in this section. C. Routine maintenance and repairs may be performed on a nonconforming use or structure.(Code 1980, § 17.62.020; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.62.030 Alterations and additions to nonconforming uses and structures. A. No nonconforming use shall be enlarged or extended in such a way as to occupy any part of the structure or site or any other structure or site which it did not occupy at the time it became a nonconforming use,or in such a way as to displace any conforming use occupying a structure or site, except as permitted in this section. 1. A nonconforming residential structure may be enlarged, altered or renovated in a manner which decreases the degree of nonconformity or does not increase the degree of nonconformity, provided that such enlargement, alteration,or renovation does not violate any other provision of this title. B. No nonconforming structure shall be altered or reconstructed that results in an increase of the discrepancy between existing conditions and the standards for front yard,side yards,rear yard,height of structures, distances between structures, and parking facilities as prescribed in the regulations for the district in which the structure is located except as permitted in this section. (Code 1980, § 17.62.030; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.62.040 Discontinuation of nonconforming use. Whenever a nonconforming use has been replaced by a conforming use or has been discontinued for a continuous period of 180 days or more,the nonconforming use shall not be reestablished, and the use of the building/structure or property thereafter shall conform with the current regulations for the district in which it is located,provided that this section shall not apply to nonconforming dwelling units. Discontinuation shall include termination of a use regardless of intent to resume the use. (Code 1980, § 17.62.040; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.62.050 Change of nonconforming use. The planning director may consider and approve, or conditionally approve, a request to change a nonconforming use to a different nonconforming use,provided that: A. There is no new building/structure proposed beyond any existing building/structure on the property. B. The different nonconforming use is not of greater intensity or type resulting in an increase in: traffic, noise, odor, lighting, residential dwelling units, the need for additional parking, , and improvements required to ensure compliance with building and fire Codes; and C. A minor use permit is obtained. (Code 1980, § 17.62.050; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.62.060 Restoration of a damaged structure. A. An involuntarily damaged or destroyed nonconforming single- or multi-family dwelling unit may be reconstructed or replaced with a new structure within the same footprint (including pre-existing nonconforming setbacks),height, and number of dwelling units, in compliance with current building and fire code requirements. B. If the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged portion of the structure is 50 percent or less of the appraised value of the structure immediately before the damage, the structure may be restored to its nonconforming condition and the nonconforming use continued. The extent of damage or partial destruction shall be based upon the ratio of the estimated cost of restoring the structure to its condition prior to such damage or partial destruction to the estimated cost of duplicating the entire structure, as it existed prior thereto.Estimates for this purpose shall be made by,or shall be reviewed and approved by, the building official and shall be based on the minimum cost of construction in compliance with the building code. C. Any reconstruction,restoration, or rebuilding undertaken pursuant to this section shall conform to all of the following: 1. Reconstruction shall start within one year from the date of the damage, and such reconstruction shall be diligently pursued to completion. 2. Rebuilding/restoration of a nonconforming use or structure shall require the issuance of a minor use permit. 3.

The State Historical Building Code (Part 2.7 (commencing with Section 18950) of Division 13 of the Health and Safety Code)for work on qualified historical buildings or structures. 6. Local zoning ordinances, so long as the pre-damage size and number of dwelling units are maintained. 7. Architectural regulations and standards, so long as the pre-damage size and number of dwelling units are maintained. D. The reconstruction,restoration,or rebuilding of a single-or multi-family dwelling may be prohibited if it is determined that: 1. The reconstruction, restoration, or rebuilding will be detrimental or injurious to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood, or will be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood. 2. The existing nonconforming use of the building or structure would be more appropriately moved to a zone in which the use is permitted,or that there no longer exists a zone in which the existing nonconforming use is permitted. 3. The building is located in an industrial zone. E. With respect to other development, whenever a structure which does not comply with the standards for front,side,and rear yards;height of structures;distances between structures;and parking facilities as prescribed in the regulations for the zone in which it is located, is destroyed by fire or other calamity,by act of God, or by the public enemy to the extent of 50 percent or less,the structure may be restored and the nonconforming use may be resumed, provided that restoration is started within one year and diligently pursued to completion. When the destruction exceeds 50 percent or the structure is voluntarily razed or is required by law to be razed, the structure shall no the restored except in full conformity with the regulations for the zone in which it is located, and the nonconforming use shall not be resumed. 1. The extent of damage or partial destruction shall be based upon the ratio of the estimated cost of restoring the structure to its condition prior to such damage or partial destruction to the estimated cost of duplicating the entire structure,as it existed prior thereto.Estimates for this purpose shall be made by or shall be reviewed and approved by the building official and shall be based on the minimum cost of construction in compliance with the building code. 2. Alteration, expansion, or restoration of a nonconforming use or structure shall require the issuance of a minor use permit.

(Code 1980, § 17.64.050; Ord.No. 855, § 4, 2012; Ord.No. 863 § 4,2013) 17.64.060 Reductions in parking requirements. The number of parking spaces specified for a new development and/or use is established in section 17.64.050 (number of parking spaces required). This section establishes alternatives to providing required on-site parking subject to specific requirements. These include in order of importance allowing for shared parking,providing parking off-site,or reductions in the overall required number of parking spaces. A. Shared parking. In order to encourage efficient use of parking spaces and consistency with best 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 parkingperiod. 1. Minor use permit for shared parking.A Minor use permit may be approved for shared parking facilities serving more than one use on a site or serving morethan one property. The minor use permit may allow for a reduction of the total numberof 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. b. The efficiency of parking provided will equal or exceed the level thatcan 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 cityattorney, and include: a. A guarantee that there will be no substantial alteration in the uses that willcreate a greater demand for parking without application for approval of an amended minor 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. B. 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. 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. 1. The parking study shall include a discussion of the following options for a reduction of required parking, including,but not limited to: a. Shared parking that may be provided in accordance with section 17.64.060 B; b. State density bonus that may be provided in accordance with chapter 17.46; c. Tandem parking that may be counted towards the required parking calculation. 2. The parking study shall include a parking management plan,that the city require the developer, management, and/or owner of the development/use to implement, that contains the following provisions including,but not limited to: a. Periodic evaluation of the parking management plan to ensure that it continues to address any parking issues on-and off-site and that on- and off-site conditions are consistent with the analysis of the parking study; b. Monitoring with periodic inspections by the property owner,property owners' association, or property management to ensure that all parking areas are used exclusively for that purpose. These inspections may occur jointly with the city at the discretion of the city; c. Prohibition of non-vehicle related storage in a garage and measures to ensure that such storage only occurs within the dwelling unit associated with the garage unless restricted by the property owner. Measures to prevent storage in a garage include restrictions in the tenant lease,periodic inspections, and windows on garages to facilitate visual inspection; d. Property owner,property owners' association, or property management enforcing a limitation on the number of vehicles per dwelling unit; e. Day(i.e., days of the week)and time restrictions on the use of guest parking; f. Creation of parking permit district off-site and parking permit programs on-site by the property owner,property owners' association, or property management; and g. Alternative solutions for physically providing parking spaces on-site including converting single-stall spaces to tandem spaces, installing parking lifts,methods to prevent parking in spaces by non-residents of the development, and shuttles and valet services that cater to users within the development. 3. Implement a car/bicycle share program in which vehicles/bicycles are made available for shared use to individuals on a short-term basis; and 4. Off-site parking maybe provided in accordance with section 17.64.060.G. (Code 1980, § 17.64.060; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012; Ord. No. 881 § 4, 2015; Ord. No. 938 § 9, 2018) C. Off-site parking. Where on-site parking for a new development or use is not feasible or practical, off-premises parking may be provided subject to the standards established in this subsection. All distances specified shall be between the nearest property line of such parking facilities to the nearest property line of the site of the development/use being served. 1.

A spreadsheet and/or a map providing an inventory of all existing or proposed parking spaces; e. Documentation of the number of adult tenants per apartment unit identified by bedroom count only; and f. Documentation of how on-site parking restrictions will be enforced to ensure they are used for daily parking needs by assigned tenants and their guests and not, for example, for storage purposes. 3. Approval. The above documents shall require the review and approval by the planning director, engineering director, and,if necessary,the planning commission and city council. 4. Access to transit. Total parking requirements for commercial or mixed-use developments along Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue may be reduced if located within 1/4 mile from an existing transit stop. E. Industrial use parking—"land banking". 1. If the final end-user has not been determined for an industrial development for which entitlements are requested pursuant to the provisions of this Code, and the parkingand loading demand characteristics for the use are unknown,the anticipated maximum amount 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 thesubmittal of a parking and loading demand study to be prepared by the applicant or by thecity and funded by the applicant. Such a study shall estimate the parking demand for thelikely proposed use(s) including a worst case scenario based on the recommendations ofthe 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 usesof 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 for a future use(s). These areas shall be set aside as open space and landscaped in sucha 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 facilityis 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 constructionof some or all of the additional parking if the parking study demonstrates need. If the ownerfails 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. (Code 1980, § 17.64.060; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012; Ord.No. 881 §4, 2015; Ord.

(Code 1980, § 17.64.100; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.64.120 Electric vehicle parking requirements. A. Purpose. In response to the growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs), the charging/support facilities they require, and their contribution to emissions reduction in support of State law, EV charging infrastructure shall be incorporated into all new developments. B. Applicability. EV charging stations (or conduits and wiring for them) shall be required in all new multi-family residential, commercial,mixed use, office, and industrial developments. C. For the purposes of this section: 1. Electric vehicles refers to all vehicles which operate on battery power and recharge from the electrical grid, including plug-in hybrid EVs and battery electric vehicles. 2. EV charging stations come in a variety of designs and are separated into levels based on the amount of electricity that is transferred to a vehicle battery. EV charging stations with increased voltages translate to a faster charging time. The three main categories used to describe EV charging are: a. Level 1. The most basic and inexpensive form of charging,using a standard 120 volt electrical supply to transfer between 1.4 to 1.9 kW of power from the electrical grid to vehicle batteries. b. Level 2. A faster recharging option that uses a 240 volt electrical supply to transfer up to 19.2 kW of power from the electrical grid to vehicle batteries. Because it operates at a higher voltage,Level 2 charging usually requires the purchase and installation of dedicated charging equipment. c. Level 3. DC Faster Chargers. The faster battery recharging option currently available,used primarily to recharge battery electric vehicles. This option uses an electrical supply between 440 to 480 volts to transfer 32 to 100 kW of power from the electrical grid using direct current(DC)to charge vehicle batteries. These chargers are larger and are typically located in publicly available locations near major destinations and/or near major transportation corridors. 3. EV charging stations shall meet the requirements of the California Electrical Code and the CALGreen Code. D. Designated spaces. Outdoor charging of electric vehicles shall only occur in designated electric vehicle spaces, according to the following: 1. Electricity shall only be provided from outdoor electrical outlets installed according to the California Electrical Code. 2. Electric cords shall not cross vehicular or pedestrian pathways. 3. When installed in common parking areas(e.g.,surface parking lots,garages,etc.),the spaces shall be restricted to electric vehicles charging only and identified with signageand pavement markings. E. Electric vehicles in single-family residential zones. When installed, electric vehicle charging in single-family residential areas shall be located as follows: 1. Within a garage or carport; 2. Outside of setback area; or 3. If within a setback area, screened from view of the public right-of-way with landscaping or fencing. (Code 1980, § 17.64.110; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) F.

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 zones as follows: 1. Industrial Park (IP) Zone; Class A performance standards. The most restrictive of the performance standards to ensure a high quality working environment and available sites for industrial and business firms whose functional and economic needs require protection from the adverse effects of noise, odors, vibration, glare, or high- intensity illumination, and other nuisances. 2. Neo-Industrial (NI) Zone; Class B performance standards. These standards are intended to enable a complementary mix of uses and provide for a limited range 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) Zone; Class C performance standards. It is the intent of the standards of this section to make allowances for industrial uses whose associated processes produce noise,particulate matter and air contaminants,vibration, odor,humidity,heat, glare, or high-intensity illumination which would adversely affect thefunctional 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.

(Ord. No. 930 § 2,2018) Chapter 17.74 SIGN REGULATIONS FOR PRIVATE PROPERTY 17.74.010 Purpose and intent. The purpose of this chapter is to establish regulations for signs,pursuant to Government Code Sections 65000 et seq., 65850(b), 38774, 38775;Business and Professions Code Sections 5200 and 5490 et seq.; Civil Code Section 713; and other applicable state laws. These regulations are intended to protect the public health, safety, and welfare and provide for the integrity of the community's aesthetics. The city recognizes that signs and other graphics are an essential element of a community's visual appearance and provide a means to identify and promote businesses, provide useful information to the public,and should not become visual distractions along public roadways. Consequently,the purpose of this chapter is to provide sign regulations for signs on private property that are consistent with the goals and objectives of the city's general plan and the community's visual and aesthetic goals. In addition,these regulations are intended to: A. Promote an economically stable and visually attractive community. B. Promote signs and graphics that are attractive,pleasing, and harmonized with the physical character of the environment and surrounding properties, while serving the identifying needs of the business community. C. Prevent an inadvertent favoring of commercial speech over noncommercial speech, or favoring of any particular noncommercial message over any other noncommercial message. D. Promote traffic safety and the smooth and efficient flow of pedestrians and vehicles to their destinations. E. Direct persons to various activities and enterprises, in order to provide for maximum public convenience. (Code 1980, § 17.74.010; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.74.020 Policies for sign regulations. The following policies regarding signage in the city are established: A. Regulatory interpretations. The requirements of this chapter shall not be interpreted to nullify any easements, covenants, or other private agreements that provide for more restrictive sign regulations than are required by this chapter. B. Message neutrality.It is the city's policy and intent to regulate both commercial and noncommercial signs in a viewpoint-neutral and/or content-neutral manner. The message of the sign shall not be reviewed except to the minimum extent necessary to identify the type of sign. C. Message substitution. Subject to the property owner's consent, a noncommercial message of any type may be substituted in whole or in part for the message displayed on any sign for which the sign structure or mounting device is authorized pursuant to this chapter,without consideration of message content.A sign permit will be required. The purpose of this requirement is to prevent any inadvertent favoring of commercial speech over noncommercial speech, or favoring of any particular noncommercial message over any other noncommercial message.In addition,any on-site commercial message may be substituted, in whole or in part, for any other on-site commercial message,provided that the sign structure or mounting device is authorized pursuant to this chapter,without consideration of message content. This requirement does not create a right to increase the total amount of signage on a parcel, lot, or land; does not affect the requirement that a sign structure or mounting device be properly permitted;does not allow a change in the physical structure of a sign or its mounting device; and does not allow for the substitution of an off-site commercial message in the place of an on-site commercial or noncommercial message. D. On-site/off-site distinction. Within this chapter, the distinction between on-site and off-site signs applies only to commercial messages. E. General prohibition. Permanent signs not expressly permitted by this chapter are prohibited. (Code 1980, § 17.74.020; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.74.030 Sign requirements and review procedures. This section describes the administrative provisions for signage regulation, including permit requirements and review procedures. These permit requirements and procedures are also listed in article II(Land Use and Development Procedures). A. Permit required.The following permits or entitlements shall be required for signs: 1. Sign permit. a. Applicability.A sign permit shall be required for all permanent signs(building attached or freestanding)prior to erection,relocation, alteration, or replacement of a sign,unless otherwise exempted by this chapter. The process for application,review, and decision regarding a sign permit shall be as established in section 17.74.030.B (Review Procedures)below. A sign permit shall not be required for general maintenance of existing signs or the replacement of the sign face (including message)when the area of the sign is not being changed and a building permit is not required(e.g.,the replacement of a sign face on a can sign). b. Approval authority. The designated approving authority for sign permits shall be the planning director,or designee. c. Approval findings.A sign permit shall only be granted when the planning director finds the proposal to be in conformance with all applicable provisions of this title. d. Additional permits. In addition to a sign permit, a building permit may also be required. 2. Temporary sign permit. a. Applicability.A temporary sign permit shall be required for all temporary signs (building attached or freestanding)prior to erection or placement,unless otherwise exempted by this chapter. b. Approval authority. The designated approving authority for temporary sign permits shall be the planning director, or designee. c. Approval findings.A temporary sign permit shall only be granted when the planning director finds the proposal to be in conformance with all applicable provisions of this title. 3. Uniform sign program. a. Purpose and intent.A uniform sign program provides a process for the city's review of, and decisions related to,requests for signs for multi-tenant projects. The intent of a uniform sign program is to allow for the integration of a project's signs with the design of the structures to achieve a unified architectural statement and to approve common sign regulations for multi-tenant projects. b. Applicability.A uniform sign program shall be required for all new multi-tenant shopping centers, office parks, and other multi-tenant,mixed-use, or otherwise integrated developments of three or more separate tenants/uses that share buildings, public spaces, landscape, and/or parking facilities. c. Approval authority. The designated approving authority for uniform sign programs shall be the planning director. d. Approval findings.A uniform sign program, or revisions thereto,may be approved only when the designated approving authority makes all of the following findings: i. That the proposed uniform sign program is consistent with the development standards for signs as provided in chapter 17.74(Sign Regulations for Private Property); and ii. The design, location, and scale of proposed signs for the integrated development are in keeping with the architectural character of the development. e. Conditions of approval.The designated approving authority may impose conditions and/or require guarantees in order to ensure compliance with this title and to prevent adverse or detrimental impact to the surrounding neighborhood. B. Review procedures. 1. Method of application. An application for a sign permit, temporary sign permit, uniform sign programs, or variance shall be made on the form(s)prescribed by the planning department. The application shall be accompanied by any fees as specified by city council resolution as outlined in article II(Land Use and Development Procedures). 2. Levels of review. Except for signs subject to initial review by the planning director, all signs are subject to review under plan check/zoning clearance,which is a ministerial decision.Appeals go first to the planning commission and then to the city council, after which judicial review will be available. Uniform sign program proposals begin their formal review at the planning director level, although planning staff may perform an initial advisory review and make recommendations to the planning commission. 3. Timely decision. At each level of review or appeal, the decision shall be rendered in writing within 30 days. The time period begins running when the application is complete, or the notice of appeal has been filed,whichever applies. The timely decision requirement may be waived by the applicant or appellant. If a decision is not rendered within the required time, then the application or appeal shall be deemed denied. 4. Appeal. The appeal right arises whenever a written decision is delivered to the applicant, or the time for decision has run without a written decision (whichever is earlier). In this context, the term "delivered" means personally delivered or placed in the U.S. mail, or actually received, whichever occurs first. 5. Time for appeal.Any affected person may appeal any sign permit decision or appeal to the next level or review, so long as the notice of appeal is delivered to the city as outlined herein and in article II (Land Use and Development Procedures). The time for decision begins running when the notice of appeal is actually delivered in person or is received by the city. 6. Status quo. During the time of review or appeal, the status quo of the subject sign(s) shall be maintained. This does not apply whenever a sign,by virtue of its physical condition, constitutes a significant and immediate threat to public safety. 7. Judicial review. Following final decision by the city council, any concerned person may seek judicial review of the final decision on a sign application pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure § 1094.8. Such review must be filed within 30 days of notice of final decision, unless state law requires otherwise. 8. Right to permit.When any sign application complies fully with all applicable provisions of this chapter, and with all other applicable laws, rules, and regulations, the permit shall be approved and issued within the required time. 9. Permit denial. When a permit application is denied, the denial shall be in writing and sent or delivered to the address shown on the applicant's form, and shall state the grounds for denial. 10. Processing of applications. a. Completeness.The planning director shall determine whether the application contains all the information and items required by this chapter. If it is determined that the application is not complete,the applicant shall be notified in person or in writing within 15 days for sign permits and 30 days for uniform sign programs of the date of receipt of the application that the application is not complete and the reasons therefore, including any additional information necessary to render the application complete. b. Disqualification.No sign application will be approved if: i. The applicant has installed a sign in violation of the provisions of this chapter and, at the time of submission of the application, each illegal sign has not been legalized, removed, or included in the application; ii. There is any other existing Code violation located on the site of the proposed sign(s)(other than an illegal or nonconforming sign that is not owned or controlled by the applicant and is located at a different business location on the site from that for which the approval is sought)which has not been cured at the time of the application,unless the noncompliance is proposed to be cured as part of the proposed new sign; iii. The sign approval application is substantially the same as an application previously denied,unless: • 12 months have elapsed since the date of the last application; or • New evidence or proof of changed conditions is furnished in the new application; iv. The applicant has not obtained any applicable required use permit. 11. Multiple sign applications. When an application proposes two or more signs, the application may be granted either in whole or in part,with separate decisions as to each proposed sign.When an application is denied in whole or in part, the planning director's written notice of determination shall specify the grounds for such denial. 12. Permits issued in error. Any approval or permit issued in error may be summarily revoked by the city upon written notice to the holder of the reason for the revocation. 13. Inspections. Inspection and approval of foundations is required when a sign includes a footing design. The purpose of such inspection is to allow the inspector to verify the size and depth of excavated footing,reinforcement method,etc.All signs subject to permit require final inspection and approval by both the planning department and building and safety department. (Code 1980, § 17.74.030; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.74.040 Exempt signs. The following sign types are expressly exempted from the permit requirements of this chapter but still must satisfy any and all other applicable permit requirements when necessary(e.g.,building, electrical, plumbing,grading, encroachment).

This section describes the procedures for measurement of signs(including area and height)and construction and maintenance requirements. A. Sign area measurement procedures.Sign area shall be computed by including the entire area within a single,continuous,rectilinear perimeter of not more than eight straight lines,or a circle or an ellipse, enclosing the extreme limits of the writing, representation, emblem, or other display, together with any material or color forming an integral part of the background of the display or used to differentiate the sign from the backdrop of structure against which it is placed, but not including any supporting framework or bracing that is clearly incidental to the display itself. Backing plates shall count as part of the sign area unless they are transparent.In the case of two-sided,multi-sided,or three-dimensional signs, the area shall be computed as including the maximum single display surface which is visible from any ground position at one time. See Figure 17.74.060-1 (Sign Area Measure). FIGURE 17.74.060-1 SIGN AREA MEASURE SIGN AREA • r z LOGO ' n I LE.1c3[3l ' , Le.uJch FREESTANOLNG SIGN AREA AF EA 0± 3 U 0 JEC- I S s 111visrp /1151111 Le.-.yin B. Sign height measurement. Sign height shall be measured as the greatest vertical distance measured from the grade at the point the sign supports intersect the ground and any accompanying architectural features of the sign.However,if the sign is constructed upon an artificial berm,the height of the signs, as measured from the toe of slope or berm, shall not exceed 150 percent of the maximum height allowed by this title. C. Construction requirements. Every sign and all parts, portions, and materials thereof shall be manufactured, assembled, and erected in compliance with all applicable state, federal, and city laws and regulations,including the locally adopted building code.All signs shall comply with the following criteria: 1. All transformers, equipment, programmers, and other related items shall be screened and/or painted to match the building or shall be concealed within the sign. 2. All permanent signs shall be constructed of quality, low-maintenance materials such as metal, concrete,natural stone,glass,and acrylics.Techniques shall be incorporated during construction to reduce fading and damage caused by exposure to sunlight or degradation due to other elements. 3. All freestanding signs that incorporate lighting shall have underground utility service. 4. All temporary signs and banners shall be made of a material designed to maintain an attractive appearance for as long as the sign is displayed. D. Clearance from public utility facilities. The person erecting a sign and the owner of the premises shall maintain any legally required clearance from communications and electric facilities.A sign may not be constructed,erected,installed,maintained,or repaired in any manner that conflicts with a rule, regulation, or order of the state public utilities commission pertaining to the construction, operation, and maintenance of public utilities facilities. E. Interference with motorist field of vision. 1. No sign shall be located in a manner which may obstruct or interfere with the view of a traffic signal or other traffic regulatory signs. No sign shall, as determined by the director of engineering/city engineer,be so located as to create a hazard to the life or property of any person using the public right-of-way. 2. Any required landscaping may be trimmed as needed to provide maximum visibility of the sign or signs. 3. Signs shall not be located within the clear visibility triangle. F. Sign siting. 1. Location of building-attached signs. Building signs may be located along any frontage of a building that faces directly onto a public right-of-way or an internal circulation path of the site. Orientation of signs such that they face directly onto residential property is to be avoided and is allowed only when there is no practical alternative and the visibility of the sign from the residence is minimized. 2. Setback and spacing of freestanding signs. a. Where a setback exists,the minimum setback distance for freestanding signs shall be measured from the back of the public right-of-way or side of a driveway.Unless an encroachment permit is granted, all freestanding signs shall be located outside of the public right-of-way and any required clear visibility triangle. b. The minimum spacing distance between permanent freestanding signs, excluding on- site directory signs, shall be 50 feet. The designated approving authority will review a proposed sign location on a case-by-case basis to ensure the sign is located outside the required clear visibility triangle and does not otherwise inhibit motorist safety. G. Maintenance requirements. Every sign and all parts, portions, and materials thereof shall be maintained and kept in proper repair. The display surface of all signs shall be kept clean, neatly painted, and free from rust and corrosion. Any cracked, broken surfaces, malfunctioning lights, missing sign copy,or other non-maintained or damaged portions of a sign shall be repaired or replaced within 30 days following notification by the city.Noncompliance with such a request will constitute a nuisance condition and zoning violation and will be enforced as such. H. Sign removal or replacement. When a sign is removed or replaced, all brackets, poles, and other structural elements that support the sign shall also be removed. Affected building surfaces shall be restored to match the adjacent portion of the structure. This requirement does not apply to routine maintenance. (Code 1980, § 17.74.060; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.74.070 Sign development and design standards. A. General sign development and design requirements. The following general design requirements shall apply to permanent on-site signs. 1. Design compatibility with building. Signs shall be compatible with the architectural style of the main building or buildings upon the site where the sign is located. Signs located on commercial or mixed use sites but in a predominantly residential area shall consider compatibility with such residential area. 2. Sign illumination.The artificial illumination of signs,either from an internal or external source, shall be designed so as not to cast stray light on surrounding rights-of-way and properties. The following requirements shall apply to all illuminated signs: a. External light sources shall be directed and shielded to limit direct illumination of an object other than the sign. b. The light from an illuminated sign shall not be of an intensity or brightness that will create glare or other negative impacts on residential properties in direct line of sight to the sign. c. Unless otherwise permitted by another requirement of this chapter, signs shall not have blinking, flashing, or fluttering lights, or other illumination devices that have a changing light intensity,brightness,or color. d. Colored lights shall not be used at a location or in a manner so as to be confused or constructed as traffic control devices. e. Light sources shall utilize energy-efficient fixtures to the greatest extent possible and shall comply with title 24 of the Code of Regulations. B. Development and design standards for specific sign types. In addition to the general sign design requirements in section 17.74.070.A above,the following requirements shall apply to the specific sign types: 1. Awning and canopy signs.

Generally, all new off-site commercial signage is prohibited within the city. Existing off-site commercial signs(e.g.,billboards)are considered nonconforming signs as regulated by section 17.74.130 (Nonconforming Signs and Abandoned Signs). However, consistent with state law,the city does permit off-site subdivision directional signs as provided in this section. B. Subdivision directional signs. The purpose of subdivision directional signs is to direct the traffic related to new residential subdivisions in a manner that minimizes visual clutter,reduces unnecessary traffic through established neighborhoods, and provides an orderly, attractive, high-quality image of the city. When originally placed, signs will require a sign permit as required by this chapter. 1. A maximum of six signs may be used to lead customers to the site. 2. Signs shall be no larger than 60 inches by ten inches and shall be grouped on a four-sided sign structure as shown in Figure 17.74.100-1 (Subdivision Directional Sign). 3. A sign structure shall be located not less than 600 feet from an existing or previously approved sign site.Further,each sign may only contain the name of the subdivision and a directional arrow as shown in Figure 17.74.100-1 (Subdivision Directional Sign). 4. The placement of each sign structure shall be reviewed and approved by the planning director. 5. Signs placed on private property shall be done with written consent of the property owner and filed with the planning department prior to issuance of the permit. 6. A sign location plan shall be prepared showing the site of each directional sign and shall be submitted to the planning department prior to the issuance of the sign permit. 7. Any such sign approved for a particular subdivision within the city shall not be changed to advertise another subdivision without prior approval of the planning director. 8. There shall be no additions,tag signs,streamers,devices,display boards,or appurtenances added to the sign as originally approved. 9. Further,no other directional signing may be used such as posters or trailer signs. 10. All nonconforming subdivision directional signs associated with the subdivision in question must be removed prior to the issuance of a new sign permit. 11. A $500.00 cash deposit shall be placed with the city to ensure compliance with this title. Any sign placed contrary to the provisions of this title may be removed by the city, and the cost of removal shall be deducted from the deposit.Additional costs incurred by the city resulting from the removal of illegal signs shall be charged to the developer. 12. The sign shall be allowed until the subdivision is sold out. 13. The off-site subdivision signs program may be implemented and installed through the Building Industry Association (BIA) if an agreement is approved for the regulation and control between the city and the BIA. If such a program is implemented, all off-site subdivision signs shall be regulated and installed per the agreement and approvals between the BIA and the city. The BIA shall not install any new structures without express written consent of the planning director. FIGURE 17.74.100-1 SUBDIVISION DIRECTIONAL SIGN l a � I 1 --�ADOW RUM 413.

Except as otherwise provided by this section, all existing signs which do not meet the requirements of this chapter shall be deemed nonconforming signs and shall either be removed or brought into compliance with this Code when a substantial alteration to the sign is made. Change of copy shall not be deemed a substantial alteration. For purposes of this section, a "substantial alteration" shall be defined as repair or refurbishing of any sign that alters its physical dimensions or height, or replaces any integral component of the sign including,but not limited to,alterations to exterior cabinets,bases,or poles.In addition,substantial alteration shall also include any repair or refurbishing of a sign that exceeds 50 percent of the depreciated value of the sign and structure, but excepting customary maintenance. The term "customary maintenance"means any activity or work performed for the purpose of actively maintaining the sign in its existing approved physical configuration and size dimensions at the specific location approved by the city and includes the following: a. Repainting the sign text, cabinet, or other component of the sign without changing the advertising message; or b. Routine replacement of border and trim with substantially the same colors and materials. 2. A nonconforming sign may remain in use provided no additions or enlargements are made thereto and no structural alterations are made therein, except as permitted for customary maintenance in section 17.74.060.G (Maintenance Requirements) of this chapter. If said nonconforming sign is destroyed or removed, or ceases to be used for the use in existence as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, every future sign at the same location must be in conformance with the requirements of this chapter. B. Abandoned signs.Abandoned signs may be abated by the city. For regulatory purposes, any factors indicating abandonment shall not begin occurring until 120 days after this chapter first goes into effect.

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 greaterthan ten percent of the collector absorption area upon that solar collector surface on the propertyof another at any one time between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., provided that this section shall not apply to specific trees and shrubs which at the time of installation of a solar collector or during the remainder of that annual solar cycle cast a shadow upon that solar collector. D. The location of a solar collector is required to comply with the local building and setback regulations and to be set back not less than five feet from the property line or any easement thatis adjacent to the property line. E. Developers of all new residential subdivisions shall dedicate easements for the purpose of assuring that 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 declarationof 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.

Building placement shall be done in a manner to create new pedestrian spaces and plaza area. Buildings shall orient the public entrances toward the street. Building layout should be oriented to screen the drive-through lane. Drive-through lanes shall be screened through building orientation and the use of a combination of low screen walls, heavy landscaping, and trelliswork. G. Stacking distance/parking. The drive-through lane shall be of a sufficient length to accommodate the necessary stacking of cars. The stacking distance shall be determined through a parking study as provided in chapter 17.64(Parking and Loading Standards).Each drive-through lane shall be separate from the circulation route necessary for ingress and egress from the property or access to any parking spaces within the site. These requirements do not apply to the reuse of existing properties. H. Parking. The parking requirements for drive-through facilities shall be determined according to chapter 17.64(Parking and Loading Standards). The gross floor area for outdoor seating shall be subject to the same parking requirement. I. Pedestrian orientation. The site plan shall create opportunities for courtyards and plazas and other landscape open space to promote safe and convenient pedestrian movement with continuous landscape pathways between buildings. The design should discourage a need for pedestrians to have to cross a drive-through lane wherever possible. J. Architecture.Drive-through facilities within an integrated shopping center or master plan must have architectural style consistent with the theme established in the center. Architecture must provide compatibility with surrounding uses in form, materials, colors, scale, etc. Building planes shall have variation in depth and angle to create variety and interest in the basic form and silhouette of the building. Articulation of building surface shall be encouraged through the use of openings and recesses which create texture and shadow patterns. Building entrances shall be well articulated and project a formal entrance through variation of architectural plane, pavement surface, treatment, and landscape plaza. K. Signs. All signs shall conform to the provisions of chapter 17.74 (Sign Regulations for Private Property). Drive-through facilities in an integrated shopping center or master plan must comply with the uniform sign program as established in the center. L. Performance standards. Special performance standards for restaurants with drive-through facilities: the use shall be operated in a manner that does not interfere with the normal use of adjoining properties. If, in the opinion of the planning director, the provisions of this paragraph are being violated, the violations shall be grounds for reopening conditional use permit hearings and adding conditions to control the violation. Performance standards include, but are not limited to, the following considerations, which, where appropriate, shall be incorporated as conditions of approval in all use permits as determined by the planning commission or city council: Page 10 1. Noise levels measured at the property line shall not exceed the level of background noise normally found in the area. 2. The premises shall be kept clean, and the operator shall make all reasonable efforts to see that no trash or litter originating from the use is deposited on adjacent properties. For drive-through restaurants or other uses which typically generate trash or litter, adequate trash containers, as determined by the planning director, shall be required and employees shall be required daily to pick up trash or litter originating from the site and within 300 feet of the perimeter of the property. 3. All graffiti shall be removed within 72 hours. 4. No undesirable odors shall be generated on the site. 5. The on-site manager of the use shall take whatever steps are deemed necessary to assure the orderly conduct of employees,patrons, and visitors on the premises. 6. A copy of these performance standards and all conditional use permit conditions of approval shall be posted alongside the necessary business licenses and be visible at all times to employees.

SPECIAL PLANNING AREAS Chapter 17.112 PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 17.112.010 Special planning area purpose and intent. Special planning areas are 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. 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 the city 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: A. Specific plans. Specific plans are a tool for implementing the areas of at least 300 contiguous acres. Specific plans allow for flexibility in design and customized development standards tailored to specific needs and conditions. Specific plans must be consistent with the general plan and comply with the specific content and procedural requirements of state law. Specific plans provide the basis for the development of the properties [in] the plan area. To the extent that a specific plan is silent as to any matter, it may be supplemented by applicable provisions of this Development Code,provided that the provisions of a specific plan supersede and control over any conflicting provisions of this Development Code without regard as to which is more or less stringent. . Subsequent development within a designated specific plan area must be consistent with the corresponding specific plan document(s) for that area. B. Master plans.Master plans are discretionary planning entitlements(not a zone)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. 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 insure 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. C. Overlay zones Overlay zones establish unique use and/or development regulations for areas of the city to address special site conditions,protect resources, and/or address land use needs opportunities in combination with the base zones of the same parcels. Regulations for overlay zones supplement the regulations that apply to the corresponding base zone. To the extent that the overlay zone establishes allowed land use or development standards that deviate from those of the base zone, however,the regulations for the overlay zone prevail.An overlay zone will apply to the entirety of an individual parcel.. The city has established overlay zones for Cucamonga station, industrial commercial, hillside development, senior housing, and equestrian uses. Descriptions of each are provided in section 17.114.050 (Overlay Zone Descriptions). (Code 1980, § 17.112.010; Ord. No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.112.020 Applicability of special planning areas. Special planning area development and design requirements apply to those parcels of land with adopted plans(e.g.,master plan)and/or zone designations of specific plan,planned community, or overlay as shown on the Figure 17.114.010-1 (Special Planning Area Map)and the city's zoning map. The list below identifies all currently adopted or designated special planning areas within(or partially within)the city. This list and the special planning area map will be updated from time to time as additional special planning areas are designated or approved. A. Specific plans(specific plan zones). 1. 2. Empire Lakes Specific Plan. 3. Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood and Conservation Plan(EHNCP). 4. . B. Master plans. 1. 1. Victoria Gardens Master Plan. C. Overlay zones. 1. Cucamonga Station 2. Senior Housing Overlay Zone. 3. Equestrian Overlay Zonet. 4. Hillside Overlay Zone. (Code 1980, § 17.112.020; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.112.030 Relationship to other zoning and development regulations. Each of the city's special planning areas allows for establishment of unique land use and/or development standards that vary from base zone regulations. This section explains the relationship of each type of special planning area to other zoning and development regulations. A. Specific plans. Specific plans are legislatively enacted planning documents that replace the zoning of the property for the project area. As such, specific plans may include unique zoning regulations and procedures for subsequent development within the project area.Where a specific plan establishes unique regulations that conflict with regulations in this Development Code, the regulations in the specific plan shall prevail. Where the specific plan is silent or refers to the city's Development Code for regulations,this Development Code applies. B. Master plans.Master plans are a discretionary planning entitlement that allows for the establishment of unique land use and/or development standards within the designated project area. Where a master plan is adopted or approved with unique regulations that deviate from the regulations in the city's Development Code,the regulations in the master plan shall apply to subsequent development within the project area. Where a master plan is silent or refers to the city's Development Code for zoning or development regulations,this Development Code applies. C. Overlay zones.Overlay zones,by definition,establish special land use and/or development standards for particular geographic areas of the city. Those special land use and/or development standards supplement the zoning regulations of the underlying base zone. Where the zoning regulations of the overlay zone conflict with the regulations of the base zone or any other provisions in this Development Code,the regulations of the overlay zone shall apply.Where the overlay zone is silent or refers to the city's Development Code for zoning or development regulations, this Development Code applies. (Code 1980, § 17.112.030; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) 17.112.040 Procedures. Procedures for the review adoption of specific plans and master plans are listed in article II(Land Use and Development Procedures). Specifically, see details regarding general application processing procedures (chapter 17.14), entitlements decided by the city council(chapter 17.22)for specific plans, and entitlements decided by the planning commission(chapter 17.20) for master plans. Specific plans require Specific Plan(SP)Zone designation on the city's zoning map and adoption of a specific plan document (Code 1980, § 17.112.040; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) Chapter 17.114 SPECIAL PLANNING AREA MAP AND DESCRIPTIONS 17.114.010 Special planning area map.

(Code 1980,§ 17.114.010;Ord.No.855,§4,2012) 17.114.020 Specific plan descriptions. The specific plans listed below have been adopted by the city and designated on the zoning map as Specific Plan(SP)with a specific reference number to each adopted plan. This section provides a reference to each adopted specific plan, along with a summary of the unique land use and development standards applicable to each individual specific plan. A full copy of all adopted specific plan documents (and any adopted amendments thereto) shall be kept in the planning department and in the city clerk's office. A. Empire Lakes Specific Plan (ELSP). The Empire Lakes Specific Plan was adopted in 1994. It includes 380 acres within the previously adopted industrial specific plan area as Sub-Area 18. The primary purpose of this subsequent specific plan is to provide for a broader mix of land uses than was originally permitted within the industrial area specific plan. The plan was expanded to include such uses as recreational, hotel/conference center, retail, restaurant, and entertainment, as well as office, research and development, and light industrial uses. These uses are intended to surround the existing 18-hole golf course. A subsequent amendment to further expand the use list included limited multi- unit residential development to maximize potential use of the Metrolink station near Milliken Avenue. B. Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood and Conservation Plan (EHNCP). The Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood and Conservation Plan was adopted by the city council in 2019.The plan area is located along the northeastern edge of the city at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains; west of State Route 15, north of State Route 210, and north of existing residential neighborhoods in the city. The plan area includes 4,393 acres.The plan represents a unique opportunity to permanently preserve unspoiled views of the San Gabriel foothills and mountains,permanently conserve rural open space and habitat resources, secure recreational access to the foothills,while providing unique new neighborhoods that reflect the city's heritage. This plan has been prepared to guide land use and shape new development within the plan area.The community-based vision is for large quantities of conserved rural and natural open space in the plan's 3,603-acre rural/conservation area,underwritten by and in balance with high quality neighborhood development in the 790-acre southerly neighborhood area already surrounded by existing neighborhoods. This area had long been under San Bernardino County's jurisdiction, and the city's interest is to implement this plan for the future of this portion of rural land,preserving much of the foothills for future generations. Please refer to the adopted Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood and Conservation Plan maintained by the planning department and city clerk for comprehensive details. (Code 1980, § 17.114.020; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012; Ord.No. 958, § 1,2019) 17.114.040 Master plan descriptions. The master plans listed below have been adopted by the city. This is a partial list because the city has also approved other master plans that are simply site plans approved as part of the previous master planning entitlement. This section provides a reference to the more detailed 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 depai liiient and in the city clerk's office. A. Victoria Gardens Master Plan. The Victoria Gardens Master Plan was adopted in 2009 as a subset of Victoria Arbors for 174 acres for the Victoria Gardens Regional Mixed-Use Lifestyle Center. Please refer to the adopted Victoria Gardens Master Plan document maintained by the planning depaitiiient and city clerk for comprehensive details. (Code 1980, § 17.114.040; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012) 17.114.050 Overlay zone descriptions. The Overlay Zones listed below have been adopted by the city and designated on the zoning map with representative zone symbols in combination with the base zone symbol for each parcel with an overlay designation. This section provides a reference to each adopted Overlay Zone, along with a summary of the unique land use and development standards applicable to each Overlay Zone. Comprehensive regulations applicable to each Overlay Zone can be found in article III,chapter 17.38 (Overlay Zones). A. Cucamonga Station Area.The Cucamonga Station(CS)Overlay Zone designates an area around the Rancho Cucamonga Metrolink station for modified FAR and density standards. B. Senior Housing Overlay Zone. The Senior Housing (SH) Overlay Zone designates areas for construction of affordable rental housing units for senior citizens. Special development regulations include qualifications, incentives, and required agreements for development and maintenance of affordable senior housing projects. Specific regulations can be found in chapter 17.38 (Overlay Zones). C. Equestrian Overlay Zone. The Equestrian (E) Overlay Zone is designates areas of the city for the keeping equine,bovine,and cleft-hoofed animals. Special development regulations include standards for animal keeping and trail requirements as outlined in chapter 17.38 (Overlay Zones). D. Hillside Overlay Zone. The Hillside (H) Overlay Zone establishes special development regulations for hillside areas of the city with a slope equal to or greater than 8 percent. A complete listing of the development regulations for qualifying hillside areas is included in chapter 17.52 (Hillside Development). (Code 1980, § 17.114.050; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012) ARTICLE VII. DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES Chapter 17.118 PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 17.118.010 Purpose The purpose of these design standards and guidelines is to assist developers and designers in understanding and complying with the city's standards for building and site design.The standards and guidelines are based upon community design goals as expressed in the general plan to encourage the orderly and harmonious appearance of structures and property along with associated facilities, such as signs, landscaping,parking areas, and streets. They establish a high standard for design quality but are flexible enough to allow individual expression and imaginative solutions. 17.118.020 Applicability The provisions of this article may be required based on the zoning of a property or the use of a property unless otherwise specified in this article. Any addition,remodeling,relocation, or construction requiring a building permit within any zone is subject to the design standards and guidelines of this article.In addition, projects may be subject to site development review (Section 17.16.100), minor design review (Section 17.16.130), or major design review(Section 17.20.040). The following types of design provisions apply: A. Standards. These provisions are requirements for the project with limited flexibility. B. Guidelines.The project should address the design guidelines,but some flexibility is permitted in how they are achieved. Chapter 17.120 GENERAL DESIGN PROVISIONS 17.120.010 Purpose and Applicability The purpose of this chapter is to provide general design standards for all development as applicable according to section 17.118.020 (Applicability). The standards are organized under two major categories: site plan design and building design. In general, the standards prioritize the relationship of a structure to other structures,uses,views,existing site conditions,and pedestrian orientation,and emphasize consistency in architectural design across a building and a site. This chapter does not include guidelines. 17.120.020 Site design A. Grading.

Chapter 17.122 DESIGN PROVISIONS BY DEVELOPMENT TYPE 17.122.010 Purpose and Applicability The purpose of this chapter is to provide design standards that are unique for specific development types provided in this chapter, as applicable according to section 17.118.020(Applicability). The development types addressed in this chapter include single family residential development; hillside development; commercial, office, and industrial development; and signs. The design standards and guidelines contained in this section supplement the standards in Chapter 17.120 (General Design Provisions).17.122.020 Single- family Residential Development A. Single-family home designs. The placement of houses in single-family residential subdivisions is an important element in creating a functional and quality living environment. Single-family residential development should promote an attractive streetscape through architectural and site planning design elements that create variety and interest. Housing tracts characterized by repetitious street scenes of nearly identical two-story houses built at the minimum setback lines are not desirable. Generally, it requires a combination of design concept solutions to achieve the goal of creating varied, interesting, and attractive streetscapes. 1. Standards. a. At least 25 percent(of all single-family detached units in any new single-family residential development in a Residential Development Zone consisting of four or more units) shall be single-story units. The number of single-story units may be reduced on a case-by-case basis when needed to serve the purposes of this 12 development code and when justified by such considerations as location, lot size, and topography. b. Vary front yard setbacks by at least 5 feet so that no house has the same front yard setback as a house,plotted on an immediately adjacent lot on either side of it,with primary frontage on the same street. c. Vary garage treatments such as detached and semi-detached, side and rear entries, etc. d. On flag lots,use 12-foot width for that portion of the driveway providing access to the garage to minimize concrete and maximize landscaping potential. e. Taper three- or four-car garage driveways down to a standard two-car width at street. f. Vary floor plans and elevations as shown in Table 17.122.010-1 (Single-Family Variations Required). TABLE 17.122.010-1 SINGLE-FAMILY VARIATIONS REQUIRED Number of Dwellings Floor Plans (minimum)(1) Elevations (per floor plan)(2) 5-10 3 2 11-20 4 3 21-40 5 3 41-60 6 4 61-80 7 4 81-100 8 4 Over 100 8 + 1 (for each 40 additional) 4 Table notes: The following may be counted as additional floor plans: (1) Reverse footprints: •Alternate orientation of 90 degrees or greater. •Alternate garage orientation(e.g.,side entry or detached). (2) Reverse footprints shall not count as additional elevations.Variations in the following design elements, which create a significant difference in streetscape appearance,shall count as additional elevations: •Plans with different architectural styles. •Plans with changes in massing and scale. •Plans with roof ridges running in different directions. •Plans with significant changes in roof pitch appropriate to the style. 2. Guidelines. a. Avoid excessive repetition of single-family homes with near identical floor plans and elevations. Clustering houses around common space,zero lot line,reverse plotting, angling house to the street, and side entry garages may be permitted if they provide streetscape variety and visual interest,particularly in the Low Medium Zone. b. Use two-car garages with bonus room on some floor plans or offset the third car space to avoid garages which dominate the streetscape. One-story massing is preferred on corner side yards. 13 c. Avoid identical or similar elevation schemes plotted on adjacent lots or across the street from one another. d. Avoid identical color schemes plotted on adjacent lots. e. Vary lot size and lot width in order to provide designers with opportunities to include significant variations in house orientation that balance livable open space with mass.For example, a wider lot creates opportunity for greater separation between homes and accommodates side entry garages. f. Design house size and mass in proportion to the lot size and lot dimensions. Houses that project a two-story volume straight up at the minimum setbacks on small lots are inappropriate. g. Provide greater variation in front yard setback on larger lots (e.g.,two acres or larger). h. Vary garage treatments such as detached and semi-detached, side and rear entries, etc. i. Pair garages to create larger front yards, allow greater separation between driveways, and create variety along the streetscape. B. Subdivision design.The following standards and guidelines apply: 1. Standards. a. Provide two means of ingress and egress. b. Spacing for right-of-way widths, street sections, street radii, and intersections shall conform to the street design policy available from the engineering depth tiiient. c. Corner lots are to be wider than interior lots. d. If the proposed subdivision is bordered or surrounded by undeveloped land,prepare a conceptual subdivision master plan for those properties to demonstrate how circulation routes could be plotted, e.g. for vehicles,pedestrians, and emergency access, and how storm water drainage infrastructure could be provided. e. Provide four-way intersections(not offset"T"type intersections)on collector or larger streets. f. The maximum length for cul-de-sacs is 300 feet for single-family and multi-family developments. g. Intersections, including knuckles, shall be perpendicular(radial on curves). h. Align intersections with existing streets or provide adequate spacing between intersections. i. For private, gated entrances provide adequate turnaround space in front of the gate and a separate visitor lane with a call box to avoid cars stacking into the right-of- way. 2. Guidelines. a. Physically integrate and align the design of lots and streets with one another to create neighborhoods. 14 b. Physically integrate and align the design of new development with existing or potential adjacent development relative to street design and lot pattern. c. Avoid double-frontage lots on interior streets. 17.122.030 Hillside development. These Hillside Design Standards and Guidelines are intended to facilitate the appropriate development of hillside areas and apply within the Hillside Overlay Zone and Hillside Residential Zone. A. Site design. 1. Standards. a. To the extent possible,the width of a building,measured in the direction of the slope, shall be minimized in order to limit the amount of cutting and filling and to better"fit"the house to the natural terrain. b. In steeper terrain(20 percent slope and greater), front yard setbacks may be reduced to a minimum of 20 feet from back of curb or back of sidewalk,whichever is more restrictive, in order to minimize rear yard grading. 2. Guidelines. a. Design of building sites should be sensitive to the natural terrain and structures located in such a way as to minimize necessary grading and to preserve natural features(such as prominent knolls or ridgelines)to the maximum extent possible.

Views.Minimize impact to views of significant visual features as seen from both within and outside a hillside development. When designing lots and plotting homes, the following standards and guidelines apply: 1. Standards. a. Any significant public vista or view corridor as seen from a secondary collector or major arterial shall be maintained. FIGURE 17.122.020-2 RETAIN INTEGRITY OF NATURAL SLOPE DO TH I S Larger manufactured slopes should be located on the uphill side of the structure to reduce the appearance of grading from the street Slopes should be rounded 1111 to provide a more natural appearance Street DON'T DO THIS Street 2. Guidelines. a. Houses should be oriented to provide the opportunity,if available, for views to residents of the house(although such views may be limited). b. Residential development projects should incorporate site plotting solutions such as clustering houses in a"compact"location; variable setbacks between houses; multiple orientations of the plotting of the houses; and other site planning techniques to preserve open spaces on the project site,protect natural features on the project site, and provide the opportunity, if available, for views to residents of the new development(although such views may be limited). c. Privacy within the rear yards of new and existing residential development should be considered when planning the plotting of a house on a lot; the location and size of windows when designing floor plans; and the location and size of balconies, decks, etc. when designing exterior elevations. However,this guideline should not altogether restrict specific building placements,windows, and/or exterior features. 16 FIGURE 17.122.020-3 PRESERVE OPEN SPACE WITH CLUSTERING .---1111:4111111111110 d. Whenever possible, as based on the overall parcel configuration and orientation, homes should be designed to front onto east-west streets or should be plotted to follow the natural contours rather than fronting onto north-south streets. e. Where possible, graded areas should be designed with manufactured slopes located on the uphill side of structures,thereby hiding the slope behind the structure. f. Clustering of development through density transfer should be encouraged in environmentally sensitive areas in order to reduce the potential for fire hazard and spread, erosion, and excess runoff and to preserve existing natural features and open space. 17 FIGURE 17.122.020-4 PLACE MANUFACTURED SLOPES BEHIND BUILDINGS DO THIS-STEEP SLOPES Separate sidevralkr — Na parking Stalwl n and reforest dlsrn6urrd banks Split secdtxy Roadway Parking bay DO THIS-FLATTER SLOPES sKiteralk Pas3lble Vail Roadway C. Roadways and driveways. 1. Standards. a. Conform roadways to the natural landform. The physical and visual character of a hillside should not be altered by creating large notches in ridgelines or by defining wide straight alignments. Reduced road sections, split sections, and parking bays should be considered in the layout of hillside streets to reduce grading. 18 FIGURE 17.122.020-5 GANG DRIVEWAYS TO REDUCE GRADING C_1C]TIH:I' DON'T DO THIS Round cif cut slope to conform to the natural cOrlioVf of the hill� Cur slope Into hillside `1 Roadway�` Roadway—I —Round oft cut slope —Too steepfor plants to —Remove small knobs on become established roadway cut to conform -ti� 1(npbr ay remaining td the natural grade from roadway cut Vista Roadway Roadway —Round off cut slope —Spill roadway sectkons I.Aasx grading io ro accwnmodate grade �� change accommodate w`e Ieve1 arwwrial highway goadway _ Roadway Rpddwdy-`�� b. Where road construction is permitted in hillside areas, disruption to the natural landform and existing vegetation shall be minimized to the maximum extent possible. Regrading to approximate the profile of the natural slope conditions is preferred;retaining walls are discouraged and, if necessary, shall be screened with landscape materials. The view along a street front should create a pleasant appearance with a sense of open space and landscaping. Some techniques include the following: i. Utilize landform planting in order to create a natural appearance and provide a sense of privacy. ii. Reduce the impact of grading and resulting retaining walls by creating visual interest with the combined use of terraced or crib walls, landscaping, and variations in the texture and pattern of sidewalks and wall materials. iii. Where adjacent to a steep hillside,minimal grading for the road and right-of-way, with a transition to a natural landscape, can be utilized to provide an open and more rural appearance. iv. A split roadway increases the amount and appearance of landscaping, and the median can be used to handle drainage. v. Where retaining walls are proven to be absolutely necessary adjacent to roadways or within street setbacks,they shall be limited to three feet in height and screened with landscape materials to create an aesthetically pleasing streetscape. Otherwise, terraced or stepped structures shall be utilized which are separated by a minimum of three feet and screened with appropriate landscape materials. 19 c. Driveways that serve more than one parcel are encouraged as a method of reducing unnecessary grading,paving, and site disturbance.

Driveway grades above 15 percent may be permitted up to a maximum of 20 percent,provided they are aligned with the natural contours of the land, if determined necessary to achieve site design, and if all safety considerations have been met to the satisfaction of building and fire officials. Proper design considerations shall be employed, including such items as vertical curves and parking landings. In any case,parking landings shall be utilized on all drives over ten percent grade. e. Driveways shall not be permitted that exceed 20 percent slope except that one length,not at the point of access, of not more than ten feet may have a slope of 22 percent. 20 f. On driveways with a slope of 20 percent or greater,a coarse paving material or grooves for traction must be incorporated into the construction. These driveways shall not exceed 100 feet in length from the bottom of the approach to the structure.

Retaining walls,not to exceed four feet in height, are permitted for soil stabilization adjacent to a driveway. Retaining walls shall be screened with appropriate landscape materials when grading is unavoidable. Otherwise,terraced retaining walls shall be utilized which are separated by a minimum of three feet and appropriate landscape materials. h. Adjacent to driveways, slopes no greater than 50 percent(ratio of 2:1)will be permitted. i. Driveways shall enter public/private streets maintaining adequate line of sight. j. At the point where driveways intersect the public right-of-way,the pavement of the driveway shall not be a minimum of five feet from any side property line. Exceptions may be considered based on lot size,percentage of slope, and use as a common(joint)driveway. 21 FIGURE 17.122.020-8 LANDSCAPING OF RETAINING WALLS OO THI5 DON'T XI THIS Roof slope approxtrrates Avoid large gable ends on The slope of the hill destroys that of hillside and toaoas downhill elevations. the relationship between its direction. building hugs the hrllsrdeand the building ground Form better. and increases the building's effective bulk. ... ..

The form, mass, and profile of the individual buildings and architectural features should be designed to blend with the natural terrain and preserve the character and profile of the natural slope. 1. Standards. a. Terrace the building to follow the slope.Where possible,use roofs on lower levels for the deck open spaces of upper levels. Where decks are provided,they shall be a minimum of six feet in width to provide adequate usable area and to effectively break up the mass. b. Use split pads, stepped footings, and grade separations to permit structure to step up the natural slope. Rooflines should terrace with the pad.

The building envelope for all structures shall be as follows: i. Downhill lot.An overall maximum height of 30 feet is permitted, as measured from finished grade, from the required front setback extending toward the rear of the lot. The maximum height at the side setbacks shall be 15 feet extending up toward the center of the lot at a 45-degree angle to a maximum height of 30 feet as measured from finished grade. ii. Uphill lot. A maximum height of 15 feet is permitted at the required front setback and shall extend up and toward the rear of the lot at a 45-degree angle to a maximum overall height of 30 feet as measured from finished grade. A maximum height at the required side setbacks shall be 15 feet extending up toward the center of the lot at a 45-degree angle to a maximum height of 30 feet as measured from finished grade. iii. Cross-slope lots.A maximum overall height of 30 feet is permitted, as measured from finished grade, from the required front setback extending toward the rear of the lot. The maximum height at the required side setbacks shall be 15 feet extending up toward the center of the lot at a 45-degree angle to a maximum of 30 feet as measured from finished grade. f. Excavate underground or utilize below-grade rooms to reduce effective bulk and to provide energy-efficient and environmentally desirable spaces. However,the visible area of the building shall be minimized through a combined use of regrading and landscaping techniques. For example,the use of earth berms around the lower part of the house minimizes larger visual expanses of wall areas and functions as a natural solar heating and cooling insulator. g. Exterior structural supports and undersides of floors and decks not enclosed by walls will be approved only if it is proven that no alternative type of construction is feasible and that fire safety and aesthetic considerations have been adequately addressed. 2. Guidelines. a. The design of the structure shall give consideration to the lot's size and configuration in order to avoid the appearance of overbuilding or crowding and to minimize the blocking of views. For example,within a development,the majority of the units should not be designed with minimum setback to minimum setback. b. Avoid large expanses of a single material on walls,roofs, or paving areas. Create interesting, small-scale patterns by breaking up building mass,varying building materials, and through design and placement of windows and doors. c. Building materials and color schemes should blend with the natural landscape. Treated wood or materials of a wood-like appearance,having the necessary fire- retardant characteristics, are encouraged for exterior surfaces. Where exterior stucco is used, it should have a final coat of integrated color in a muted earth tone. Contrasting color accents should be kept to a minimum,particularly on the view side.Use of other natural materials, such as river rock, is encouraged. 25 E. Walls and fences. 1. Guidelines. a. Walls and fences can be used to define a sense of place and create an attractive appearance. However,walls should not dominate a view, and their height should be limited adjacent to a street or trail or within a rear yard. Terracing and extensive landscaping can reduce the effective bulk. In addition, street-front walls should incorporate varying design and natural materials. The use of open-view fencing is encouraged, so long as adequate public safety and residential privacy are maintained. b. Fences will be allowed immediately adjacent to structures to provide a private outdoor area. These fences shall be designed as an integral part of the building in order to minimize the visual impact on surrounding areas. c. Walls and fences shall integrate materials and colors used in the structure's façade. Naturally occurring materials, such as river rock, shall be used whenever possible. d. Walls and fencing visible from the public right-of-way shall be designed to incorporate visual interest through variation in placement,use of planters, differing materials, and modulation of the wall plane. F. Landscaping. 1. Standards. a. In wildland-urban interface fire areas, landscaping shall be in accordance with fire district codes and standards.

In order to protect slopes from soil erosion and slippage and to facilitate significant revegetation, a permanent irrigation system shall be installed on all slopes with required planting. However,the emphasis shall be toward using plant materials that will eventually not need to be irrigated. Water and energy conservation techniques shall be utilized,including,but not limited to, such items as drip irrigation and alluvial rockscape. c. Landscaping shall be used to screen views of downslope elevations. When the structure height exceeds 20 feet from finished grade on a downslope side, additional landscaping will be required. d. Slopes with required planting shall be planted with informal clusters of trees and shrubs to soften and vary the slope plane. Where slopes are two to one(2:1) and five feet or greater in height,jute netting shall be used to help stabilize planting and minimize soil erosion. e. Native vegetation shall be retained and supplemented in canyons and along natural drainage courses. 2. Guidelines. a. Natural landform planting should be used to soften manufactured slopes,reduce the impact of development on steep slopes or ridgelines, and provide erosion control. b. Maintain a"vegetative backdrop"by replanting with native trees. The vegetation should screen structures to the extent possible at maturity and preserve the appearance of the natural skyline. 27 FIGURE 17.122.020-15 VEGETATIVE BACKDROP DO THIS DON'T DO THIS Variety In undulating StraightCbdflk 444 bank erkicattl. h@igtitE.nig pleasing raadscape roadway IandscaPe4541 c. In order to minimize the grading of large flat areas and encourage water conservation techniques, large expanses of low-growing grass in the front and side yards adjacent to a street are discouraged. d. Native or naturalized plants, or other plant species that blend naturally with the landscape, shall be utilized in all areas with required planting. G. Grading. 1. Standards. a. Grading shall be phased so that prompt revegetation or construction will control erosion. Where possible, only those areas that will be built on,resurfaced, or landscaped shall be disturbed. Topsoil shall be stockpiled during rough grading and used on cut and fill slopes.

Grading permits shall only be issued when a plan for erosion control and silt retention has been approved by the planning director and building official,without regard to time of year. c. No excavation or other earth disturbance shall be permitted on any hillside area prior to the issuance of a grading permit,with the exception of drill holes and exploratory trenches for the collection of geologic and soil data. These trenches are to be properly backfilled and, in addition,erosion treatment provided where slopes exceed 20 percent. d. To encourage maintenance of slopes for erosion control and aesthetics,property lines shall be located two feet back from the top of slope. e. No point on any structure subject to the provisions of this section shall be closer to a visually prominent ridgeline than 150 feet measured horizontally on a topographic map or 50 feet measured vertically on a cross-section,whichever is more restrictive. f. Lot padding is limited to the boundaries of the structure's foundation, a usable rear yard area(residential only)of 15 feet adjacent to and between the structure and top or toe of slope, and a 24-foot by 24-foot corral area. If it is physically unfeasible to design a reasonably usable yard area due to conflict with other grading standards, then other forms of usable open space should be considered, such as decks,patios, balconies, or other similar forms of built structures designed to fit the natural topography. g. No finished slopes greater than 50 percent(ratio of 2:1)may be created except beneath the enclosed envelope of a structure where the maximum created slope is limited to 67 percent(ratio of 1.5:1)or less. h. Slopes within city-maintained landscape easements shall not exceed a maximum grade of 3:1 or 33 1/3 percent. 29 i. Fill or excavation shall not exceed a depth of five feet at any point except where the planning commission determines that unusual topography, soil conditions,previous grading, or other unusual circumstances indicate that such grading would be reasonable and necessary. FIGURE 17.122.020-18 CONFORM BUILDING PADS TO NATURAL CONTOURS 1 ,11i 'moo U - rJ j. All retaining walls shall be screened with appropriate landscape materials. Retaining walls are limited to: i. One upslope(from the structure)not to exceed four feet in height. Otherwise, terraced retaining structures shall be utilized which are separated by a minimum of three feet and appropriate landscaping. ii. One downslope from the structure not to exceed four feet in height.Where an additional retained portion is necessary due to unusual or extreme conditions(such as lot configuration, steep slope, or road design),the use of terraced retaining structures shall be considered on an individual lot basis. Terraced walls shall not exceed three feet in height and shall be separated by a minimum of three feet and appropriate landscaping. Terracing is not to be used as a typical solution within a development. iii. On lots sloping with the street, and other configurations not discussed above,one retaining wall,not to exceed 3'/2 in height,may be used in a side yard where necessary. iv. Walls that are an integral part of the structure may exceed eight feet in height; however,their visual impact will be mitigated through contour grading and landscape techniques. v. On horse-keeping lots, additional retaining walls,not to exceed four feet in height, are allowed to provide a flat,usable corral area and access to trails. 30 k. Cut or fill slopes shall not exceed eight feet in height at perimeters of the site or elsewhere without the use of walls,terracing, and other mitigating measures, such as contour grading or landscape buffering, and then only as approved by the planning commission after conclusive demonstration that such cut or fill heights will not adversely affect adjacent properties,views, landforms, or other significant considerations not specifically discussed here, and that they are absolutely required to accomplish land development under extreme or unusual circumstances and conditions.

Drainage. 1. Standards. a. Drainage channels shall use an AC or concrete liner in addition to a naturalizing treatment. b. Debris basins and energy-dissipating devices shall be provided,where necessary,to reduce erosion when grading is undertaken in the hillside areas.Natural drainage courses shall be protected from grading activity. In instances where crossing is required, a natural crossing and bank protection shall be preferred over steel and concrete systems. Where brow ditches are required,they shall be naturalized with plant materials and native rocks. c. Building permits and grading permits shall not be issued for construction on any site without an approved location for disposal of runoff waters, including,but not limited to, such facilities as a drainage channel,public street or alley, or private drainage easement that is not adequately protected from off-site drainage. d. The use of cross-lot drainage shall be minimized. In situations where this is not possible using conventional design,optional techniques including,but not limited to, single loaded streets and reduced densities shall be considered. Extensive use of cross-lot drainage shall be subject to planning commission review and may be considered only after demonstration that this method will not adversely affect the proposed lots or adjacent properties and that it is absolutely required in order to 31 minimize the amount of grading which would result with conventional drainage practices. e. Where cross-lot drainage is utilized,the following shall apply: i. Project interiors. One lot may drain across one other lot if an easement is provided within either an improved, open V-swale gutter which has a naturalized appearance or within a closed drainage pipe that shall be a minimum inches in diameter. In both cases,an integral wall shall be constructed. This drainage shall be conveyed to either a public street or to a drainage easement. If drainage is conveyed to a private easement, it shall be maintained by a homeowners association; otherwise,the drainage shall be conveyed to a public easement such as a public alley,paseo, or trail. The easement width shall be determined on an individual basis and shall be dependent on appropriate hydrologic studies and access requirements. ii. Project boundaries. On-site drainage shall be conveyed in an improved open V- swale gutter that has a naturalized appearance or within an underground pipe in either a private drainage easement,which is to be maintained by a homeowners association, or conveyed in a public easement such as a public alley,paseo, or trail. The easement width shall be determined on an individual basis and shall be dependent on appropriate hydrologic studies and access requirements. 2. Guidelines. a. Where possible, drainage channels should be placed in less visible locations, and more importantly, should receive a naturalizing treatment including native rock, colored concrete, and landscaping so that the structure appears as an integral part of the environment. b. Natural drainage courses should be preserved and enhanced to the extent possible. Rather than filling them in,drainage features should be incorporated as an integral part of the project design in order to enhance the overall quality and aesthetics of a site,to provide attractive open space vistas, and to preserve the natural character of the area. I. Trails. 1. Guidelines. Trails are an integral part of a hillside area and provide recreation areas for equestrian, hiking, and biking uses. They can also function as a means to take up grade or to convey drainage. a. In hillside areas, it is not always necessary to provide full improvements for trails. A more natural experience may be achieved, and the amount of grading required can be reduced,by providing minimal improvements in appropriate areas, such as undevelopable, steep slopes. 32 17.122.040 Commercial,office,and industrial development. The majority of design standards and guidelines for commercial, office, and industrial development are provided in chapter 17.120 (General Design Provisions). This section contains only those provisions that are unique to commercial, office, and/or industrial development. A. Special site design provisions. 1. Standards. a. Screen drive-through lanes from public view by orienting the building and a combination of landscaping,berming, and low screen walls. 2. Guidelines. a. For commercial projects, give special attention to creating pedestrian scale and an inviting place for pedestrians to shop. b. Site amenities, such as walls,hardscape, street furniture,trash enclosures,lighting, and monument signs, should be designed as part of the total architectural package for the project. c. Integrate signs into the architectural program. B. Parking areas. The following standards and guidelines apply: 1. Standards. a. Screen parking areas from public view with, landscaping, low walls, grade differentials, and building orientation. b. For parking areas, include one tree for every three parking stalls for shade. 2. Guidelines. a. Distribute parking evenly throughout a site instead of concentrating all in one large parking lot. b. Consider the types of users desired and plan the project accordingly rather than trying to maximize building floor area. c. Parking areas should not be the dominant element in the overall design of a project and should be designed to minimize visual disruption. d. The design of parking areas should also minimize auto noise, light and glare, and ambient air temperature. This can be accomplished through the use of sound walls, general location,use of well-designed lights, and landscaping throughout the parking lot. C. Pedestrian orientation. 1. Guidelines. a. Colonnades or loggias and other covered walkways or structures that provide shade to pedestrian spaces shall be utilized whenever possible. b. At street level,the use of building materials and building details that relate to human activity shall be required where appropriate. 33 c. Convenient pedestrian circulation shall be provided throughout all projects to connect public streets,parking areas, and public transit facilities with buildings and pedestrian open spaces. d. Open spaces shall be integrated with pedestrian walks and defined by landscaping and other elements to create a sense of place. e. Where possible, open spaces shall be accessible to the public. f. Street furniture. Benches, light standards,kiosks,trash receptacles, and other street furniture in on-site open spaces shall be designed in a coordinated fashion to enhance the appearance and function of the site and open space. g. Pedestrian areas shall be highly visible and well lit. D. Special architectural provisions. 1. Standards. a. Paint roll-up doors and service doors to blend in with main building colors. b. The creative use of building materials is required. A minimum of two primary building materials shall be used. The recommended primary and secondary building materials are as follows: i. Primary building materials: concrete including form-lined and sandblasted concrete;textured/decorative block(CMU) including split-face and slumpstone block; and rock paneling including granite;marble; and slate, and glass/glazing as the dominant finish at office areas/pods/corners. Similar primary materials may be considered on a case-by-case basis. ii. Secondary building materials: glass/glazing accents,tile trim,polished metals including brass, copper, and aluminum;brick; distressed wood,;painted metal elements; and painted accent stripes. Similar secondary materials may be considered on a case-by-case basis. c. The application/use of metal, e.g.prefabricated sheets/paneling for exterior walls, columns, exposed framing,roofing, and finishes (except as an accent material/trim) for all buildings within all industrial zones(Neo-Industrial,Industrial Employment, etc.)is prohibited. 2. Guidelines. a. For commercial projects,vary the roof through the use of vertical separations,vary the roof structure,or vary the parapet line or ridgeline. b. Provide interest and variation to storefront designs for shopping centers to complement the architectural style. Design elements to be considered include providing offsets or bays, strong base material,varying storefront treatment,multi- pane windows, and varying the bulkhead treatment. c. For industrial buildings,design the office portion as the architectural focus with the appearance of an office building in terms of detail and amount of glass. (Code 1980, § 17.122.030; Ord.No. 855, § 4,2012; Ord.No. 867,2014; Ord.No. 881 § 4,2015) 34 17.122.050 Signs Every building shall be designed with a precise concept for adequate signing.Provisions for sign placement and sign scale in relationship with building and readability shall be considered in developing the signing concept. While providing the most effective signing, it shall also be highly compatible with the building and site design relative to color, material, and placement. The city's goal is to promote a quality visual environment by allowing signs that are compatible with their surroundings and effectively communicate their message. A. Combining signs and architecture. 1. Integrate signs into the architectural scheme. Indeed,the building itself can serve as a large and impressive sign. To achieve this effect, however, the individual signs on the facade should reinforce the character of the building,not obscure or detract from it. 2. Use signs as a means of business identification rather than as a form of advertising. 3. Simple messages, layout, and color scheme make signs easier to read. 4. Select colors and materials that complement the architecture, including monument signs. 5. Size of signs should be proportional to the scale of the building and their affixed surface. 6. Use wall sign placement to direct the customer to the business location. 7. Visually balance the sign area with the building mass and height rather than designing to the maximum standard. B. Signs for office and industrial development. 1. Consider the layout and shape of the architectural features of the building.Design elements such as window patterns(vertical and horizontal rectangles,arches, squares, etc.)will help determine the sign shape that will suit the building. 2. Use individual letters rather than canister-type signs. C. Uniform sign program. 1. Provide a uniform sign program for shopping centers and office or industrial complexes with multiple buildings to create a coordinated project theme of uniform design elements, such as color, lettering style, and placement. 2. Specify a consistent sign type and avoid mixing different sign types, such as canister signs with channelized letters. 3. Use a consistent size(e.g.,maximum height and length)that is proportionate to the building. 4. For shopping centers, use an 18-inch maximum letter height. For buildings plotted at the street setback line,use a 12-inch maximum letter height. 5. Limit sign length to be no greater than 65 to 70 percent of the leased space width. 35 Chapter 17.123 MULTI-FAMILY AND RESIDENTIAL MIXED-USE 17.123.010 Purpose and Applicability The purpose of this chapter is to provide objective design standards for multi-family and residential mixed- use development, as applicable according to Section 17.118.020 (Applicability).

Page ii March 2022 ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE INTERIM ZONING CODE AMENDMENT CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR 1 . Addendum to the Certified General Plan EIR 1.1 PURPOSE This document serves as the environmental documentation for adoption of the Interim Development Code (project,proposed project) and Zoning Map to be in compliance with the General Plan.This document is an addendum to the General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR), certified on December 15, 2021 (State Clearinghouse Number 2021050261),which demonstrates that the analysis in the General Plan EIR adequately addresses the potential physical impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project and that none of the conditions described in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15162, exist and preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration is not necessary. 1.2 BACKGROUND On December 15, 2021, the Rancho Cucamonga City Council certified the environmental impact report and adopted the updated General Plan for the City of Rancho Cucamonga (City). The General Plan is the City's blueprint, or constitution, for future development. The General Plan documents the City's long-range vision and established clear goals,objectives,and actions to guide the community through the next 20 years. While the General Plan is the policy document that provides an overall vision, policy direction, and implementation strategy to support future development in Rancho Cucamonga, the development code implements general plan policies through detailed development regulations, such as specific use types and building standards. Although the purpose and intent of zoning is different from the General Plan, State law requires that zoning be consistent with maps and policies in the General Plan. Uses and densities/intensities are permitted if they are consistent with both the General Plan land use designation and the zoning of the property.When a zoning ordinance becomes inconsistent due to a general plan amendment,the city must enact a consistent zoning ordinance within a reasonable time. The current development code is not consistent with the intent of the character-based General Plan Land Use Designations and does not contain the necessary standards to implement the General Plan vision for walkable, mixed-use places. As a result, proposed Interim Development Code is designed to implement the Land Use Designations in the General Plan,including the addition of form-based code components for the new mixed- use place types established in the General Plan. As the City is under development pressure to implement the newly adopted General Plan, the adoption of the Interim Development Code as an urgency ordinance will allow the City to begin implementing the General Plan immediately. 1.3 Purpose of an EIR Addendum According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(a),an addendum shall be prepared if some changes or additions to a previously certified EIR are necessary, but none of the conditions enumerated in CEQA Guidelines Page 3 March 2022 ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE INTERIM ZONING CODE AMENDMENT CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR Sections 15162(a)(1) to (3) calling for the preparation of subsequent EIR have occurred. As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations): When an EIR has been certified or 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 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. The proposed project would not trigger any of the conditions outlined in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a)(1) to (3) because these changes would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects requiring major revisions to the General Plan EIR. The following analysis provides the substantial evidence required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(e) to support the finding that a subsequent EIR is not required and an addendum to the General Plan EIR is the appropriate environmental document to address changes to the project. As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 (Addendum to an EIR): (a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. Page 4 March 2022 ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE INTERIM ZONING CODE AMENDMENT CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR (b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. (c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration. (d) The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. (e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. A copy of this addendum, and all supporting documentation, may be reviewed or obtained at the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department, 10500 Civic Center Drive,Rancho Cucamonga,California 91730. 1.4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project is to adopt an Interim Development Code to implement the Land Use Designation in the General Plan as an urgency ordinance.The Interim Development Code contains provisions to ensure that land development is consistent with the policy direction of the General Plan. As the current Development Code was comprehensively updated in 2012, the recommendations included in the proposed project include amendments to standards and requirements within the existing structure and format of the Code(Development Code Update City of Rancho Cucamonga, page 3). These recommendations include topics such as General Plan Implementation and General Code Issues,Mixed-Use and Multi-Family Objective Design Standards,and Specific Plan and Master Plan Analysis.The fundamental elements of the Development Code update are: • Integrating and modifying the form-based and conventional zones. • New form-based zoning regulations for walkable mixed-use areas along Foothill Boulevard and other key corridors. • Incorporation of appropriate standards from older Specific Plans and Planned Communities into the new zoning regulations to allow for repeal of outdated plans. • New objective design standards for multi-family residential and mixed-use development projects to respond to changes in state law and facilitate housing production. • Improved administration and permit procedures to streamline development review for projects consistent with the General Plan and ensure adequate tools for enforcement of the Development Code. The implementation of the General Plan is generally managed by the Development Code (Title 17 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code). The Development Code includes zoning districts consistent with the General Plan and applies development standards to each zoning district that guide site layout, key design elements,and development intensity.The proposed project also includes objective design standards for mixed used and multi-family development as form-based elements that will be applied to base zoning districts. March 2022 Page 5 ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE INTERIM ZONING CODE AMENDMENT CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR As shown below in Table 1. Specific Plans and Master Plans Revised or Replaces with Interim Zoning Code Update and referenced in the General Plan EIR (Land Use and Planning,page 5.11-16), several of the existing plans in the city would be reappealed and changed to comply with the new standards of the Interim Development Code Update. Table 1.Specific Plans and Master Plans Revised or Repealed with Interim Zoning Code Update Plan/YearAdopted or Amended Notes on Review Empire Lakes Specific Plan (ELSP) (Also Amend the ELSP boundary to cover area as required by the Development referred to as IASP Sub-Area 18 Specific Agreement,with those regulations,requirements,and standards remaining in place. Plan) 1994 adopted/2016 last revised The remaining ELSP areas will be regulated by policy and standards in the General Plan Update.Areas regulated by the General Plan Update will be implemented with the citywide code(including new form-based districts,and design standards). Etiwanda Highlands Planned Unit Repeal— Develop two new zone districts (e.g.,VL- EH 9000 and VL-EH 14000)to Development(EH) 1988 regulate this area, consistent with the standards in the existing Planned Unit Development(PUD).Standards not regulated by the PUD would be regulated in the new zone districts.All other standards and procedures applicable to the VL District would apply to the VL-EH Districts. Etiwanda North Specific Plan(NESP)1992 Repeal — A portion of this Plan area was amended and now regulated by the Etiwanda Heights Specific Plan.The portion identified for low density residential can be regulated by the existing Low Residential District standards.The remaining area will be regulated by the Traditional Neighborhood Land Use Designation and subsequent zoning district and the zoning that replaces the Etiwanda Highlands Planned Unit Development(see above). Etiwanda Specific Plan (ESP) 1985 Repeal—A small area will be regulated by the new form-based zoning district based adopted/2000 last revised on General Plan placetype. Regulate the Very Low density area with the existing Very Low Residential District. Create new zone districts to regulate the remaining areas consistent with the standards in the Specific Plan. Terra Vista Community Plan (TCVP) 1983 Repeal—The Plan Area along Foothill Boulevard will be regulated by the new form- adopted/1995 last revised based zoning district based on the General Plan Update. The remaining area is a combination of Low Medium, Medium, Medium High, and High zoning districts. Create new zone districts to regulate the remaining areas consistent with the standards in the TCVP. Town Square Master Plan(TS)2002 Repeal—This area to be regulated by policy and standards in the General Plan Areas regulated by the General Plan will be implemented with the citywide code(including new form-based districts,and design standards,as applicable). Victoria Arbors Master Plan(VA)2002 See VCP below.Victoria Arbors Master Plan overlaps with the VCP. Victoria Community Plan(VCP) 1981 Repeal—A portion will be regulated by the applicable new form-based zoning district based on General Plan placetype. For the remainder, the existing Low and Low Medium Residential zoning districts will be applied based on the designation in the VCP.The Mixed Use overlay will also be deleted as part of this effort. Page 6 March 2022 ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE INTERIM ZONING CODE AMENDMENT CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR The Interim Development Code update includes modifications to existing zoning districts as well as new zoning districts with form-based code components.Table 2, General Plan Moding Existing Zoning Districts,displays the following recommended zoning districts to implement each of the General Plan land use designations and if modifications or new zoning districts are needed (Interim Development Code Update, 5). Recommendations to implement the General Plan and create new zones to implement the new mixed-use land use designations are provided in Section 2.B of the Interim Development code update (Interim Development Code update, 5). Other changes to existing zoning districts may be recommended based on an assessment of General Plan policies in Appendix A of the Interim Development Code update. Appendix A is used to identify inconsistencies between the General Plan and the City's Development Code and provide recommendations to resolve those inconsistencies (Interim Development Code Update,A-1). The Interim Development Code will facilitate development in zoned properties and bring them into compliance with the General Plan. While zoning districts will change, the development potential and impacts are already addressed in the General Plan EIR.In most cases,there are development standards for any new permitted use that would not be subject to CEQA review.However,development policies,programs,ordinances,and permits that define the development process would still apply.

As the proposed project is intended to align the Development Code and Zoning map with the General Plan,implementation of policies and actions from the General Plan and mitigation measures identified in the EIR would have the same mitigating effect under the Interim Development Code and impacts would also be less than significant. Table 3 lists the significant and unavoidable impact determinations of the General Plan EIR and compares the resulting impacts of the proposed project to those determinations.The General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the General Plan would result in significant and unavoidable impacts to agriculture/forest resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, and transportation. As described below, the proposed project would be within the scope of analysis of the General Plan update identified in the EIR. The proposed project would incorporate all applicable General Plan policies and implementation measures for significant and unavoidable impacts identified in Table 3 and would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects.

March 2022 Page 11 ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE INTERIM ZONING CODE AMENDMENT CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 2. CEQA Analysis 2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The General Plan contains policies related to land use and community character, focus areas, open space, mobility and access, housing, public facilities and services, resource conservation, safety, and noise. As previously described in Section 1.4 and referenced in Table 3, the General Plan EIR addresses potentially significant impacts related to agriculture and forestry, air quality, cultural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, and transportation. The policies of the General Plan and the existing development standards apply to all development in the General Plan and would continue to apply to the land that is the subject of the proposed project. The proposed zoning changes are intended to align the City's Municipal Code and Zoning Map with the land use designations and policies and implementation measures with the General Plan and will replace or amend specific plans and master plans previously adopted. Therefore, these changes would not result in significant changes to the existing land uses and or development standards as compared to that analysis in the General Plan EIR. The modification to the specific and master plans in the General Plan EIR is consistent with the specific design standards and guidelines in the Development Code update (Development Code Update,Appendix-H). The General Plan EIR anticipates growth in focused areas of the community that are already designated for development (Project Description, 3-2). The Land Use&Community Character in Section 5.11 Land Use and Planning details policy changes for different place types.These focus areas will increase housing and building intensity as well as create more urban spaces (Land Use and Planning, 5-11-7).The General Plan EIR suggests Volume 4 Implementation Strategy recommends policy change in the development code changes. (Project Description,3-3) Chapter 3, Project Description of the General Plan EIR, considers anticipated growth for existing and proposed General Plan Designation as listed in Table 2. General Plan Modin Existing Zoning.The Land Use Designations listed in Table 3-2 Existing and Proposed Land Use Designations of the General Plan EIR display density ranges for mix of existing land use designations that will comprise the new place type;these density ranges are consistent with the recommendations listed in proposed Interim Development Code update (Project Description,3-6). 2.2 FINDINGS The discussion in this addendum confirms that the proposed project has been evaluated for significant impacts pursuant to CEQA. There are no substantial changes in the circumstances or new information that was not known and could not have been known at the time of the certification of the General Plan EIR. As a result, and for the reasons explained in this addendum,the project would not cause any new significant environmental impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant environmental impacts disclosed in the General Plan EIR.Thus,the proposed project does not trigger any of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 March 2022 Page 14 ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE INTERIM ZONING CODE AMENDMENT CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR,and the appropriate environmental document as authorized by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) is an addendum.Accordingly,this EIR addendum has been prepared. The following identifies the standards in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 as they relate to the project. 1. No substantial changes are proposed in the project which would 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 proposed project will align the new zoning districts as shown in the Interim Development Code update with the land use designations including the addition of form-based code components and mixed-use place type descriptions assumed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed changes are consistent with the General Plan as evaluated in the General Plan EIR.Therefore, the updates to the Development code would not change the conclusions of the EIR and would not require revisions to the General Plan EIR due to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. 2. There is no 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 demonstrating that the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR. The policies and implementation measures identified in the General Plan EIR would continue to apply to all development in the city and would have the same effect to reduce or eliminate environmental impacts as disclosed in the General Plan EIR. The amendments to the Development Code were discussed in the General Plan EIR, and there is nothing in the proposed project that was not known and could not have been known at the time the General Plan EIR was certified demonstrating that the project would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the EIR.Therefore,no new impacts would occur because of future development.Because a development project must be consistent with the General Plan,zoning, and development standards of the City,the resulting impacts would be the same as those disclosed in the certified General Plan EIR. 3. There is no 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 demonstrating that significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR. Implementation of the proposed project would have the same significant impacts as those disclosed in the General Plan EIR. The General Plan policies and implementation measures identified in the General Plan EIR to reduce physical environmental effects would apply to all new development.These policies would have the same effect in reducing or eliminating environmental impacts as disclosed in the General Plan EIR. There is no new information that would demonstrate that significant effects examined would be substantially more severe than shown in the certified General Plan EIR. 4. There is no 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 demonstrating that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found Page 13 March 2022 ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE INTERIM ZONING CODE AMENDMENT CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 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. The proposed project will align the zoning districts in the City of Rancho Cucamonga with the General Plan Land Use Map as evaluated by the General Plan EIR. All policies and implementation measures identified in the General Plan EIR would continue to apply to all development in the city and would have the same effect in reducing or eliminating environmental impacts as disclosed in the General Plan EIR.The proposed project would not change the assumptions described in the General Plan EIR and, therefore, would not substantially change the conclusions of the EIR or require new mitigation measures. 5. There is no 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 demonstrating that 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. The proposed project changes would not result in an increase of overall development intensity and the resulting impacts would be the same as those disclosed in the certified General Plan EIR. Therefore, no new mitigation measures or alternatives to the proposed project would be required. March 2022 Page 14
