The most probable locations of future fault rupture
are within the special studies zone as designated on
the maps compiled by the State Geologist under the
Alquist-Priolo Geologic Hazards Zone Act. Any
proposal for development of a project, as defined in

Zones Act, within an Alquist-Priolo or City adopted
Special Study Zone, as shown in Figure V-3, shall
include a report by a certified engineering

criteria of the Alqulst-Priolo Special Studies Zone
Act.
No structures for human occupancy, other than a
single-family wood-frame dwelling not exceeding two
stories when such dwelling is not part of a
development of four or more dwellings, shall be
permitted to be placed across the trace of an active
fault. Where faults cannot be specifically located,
the probability of fault rupture shall be
investigated and, where appropriate, buildings shall
be designed to accommodate foundation offsets while
retaining structure integrity.
Restrictions which apply within state designated
Fault Hazard Special Studies Zones for the Cucamonga
fault shall also apply to the City adopted Special
Studies Zone for the Red Hill fault. Any proposal
for development of a project, as defined in Section
2621.6 of the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zones
Act, within either Special Study Zone shall comply
with the Policies and Criteria of the State Mining
and Geology Board with reference to the Alquist-
Priolo Special Studies Zones Act.
SECTION 2: The Rancho Cucamonga Planning Commission recommends that
the following seismicity policy be added to the Public Health and Safety

Agents and sellers of real property which is located
within a Special Studies Zone shall disclose to any
prospective purchaser the fact that the property is

the requirements of the Alquist-Priolo Special
Studies Zones Act.
