WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO PRESENTATIONS

[ANNOUNCEMENTS / PRESENTATIONS]

WE HAVE ONE PRESENTATION I'D LIKE TO CALL

[B1. Presentation of Rancho Cucamonga’s 2024 Safest Cities Ranking.]

THIS PRESENTATION, BY THE WAY, IS THE PRESENTATION OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA 2024 SAFEST CITIES RANKING.

I'D LIKE TO CALL FORWARD OUR POLICE CHIEF CAPTAIN SMITH, AS WELL AS OUR LIEUTENANT ALLISON.

EXCUSE ME, THAT'S NOT ALLISON.

IT'S CHRISTIAN.

CHRISTIAN, EXACTLY.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

WE ARE PLEASED TO PRESENT TO YOU WALLET HUB SAFEST CITIES FOR 2024.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN, UH, WALLET HUB ANALYZES 182 CITIES ACROSS THE US AND THEY PICK, UH, OUT, ACTUALLY OUT OF THAT, THEY CHOOSE 150 OF THE MOST POPULATED CITIES, WHICH FOR SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY WOULD INCLUDE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, FONTANA, SAN BERNARDINO, AND FOR RIVERSIDE COUNTY, THEY CHOOSE, UH, THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE AND MORENO VALLEY.

ACCORDING TO THE 2024 WALLET HUB REPORT RELEASED EARLY THIS MONTH, RANCHO RANKED 48 OUT OF 182 CITIES.

WE RANKED 51ST IN 2023 FOR, UH, THE INLAND EMPIRE.

WE RANKED NUMBER ONE, AND THE RESEARCHERS UTILIZED THREE MAIN CATEGORIES TO DETERMINE EACH CITY'S OVERALL SCORE.

NUMBER ONE WAS HOME AND COMMUNITY SAFETY, WHICH IS WEIGHTED AT 60% NATURAL DISASTER RISK AT 20%, AND FINANCIAL SAFETY AT 20%.

TODAY WE'RE GONNA FOCUS ON HOME AND COMMUNITY SAFETY FOR HOME AND COMMUNITY SAFETY.

WE RANKED NUMBER 30 OUT OF 182 CITIES ANALYZED.

THE HOME AND COMMUNITY SAFETY RANKING WAS BASED ON DATA INDICATORS SUCH AS VARIOUS TYPES OF CRIMES PER CAPITA TO INCLUDE THE PRESENCE OF TERRORIST ATTACKS, THEFTS, AND ASSAULTS.

ADDITIONAL RATING INDICATORS INCLUDED THE OVERALL PERCEPTION OF SAFETY BY OUR COMMUNITY TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES, AND THEY ALSO LOOK AT STAFFING LEVELS.

FOR FIRST RESPONDERS, THEY LOOKED AT NUMBER OF FIREFIGHTERS, PARAMEDICS, EMTS, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT EMPLOYEES PER CAPITA.

FOR THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA STATION, OUR TOTAL STAFFING IS 186 PERSONNEL.

143 OF THOSE ARE SWORN AT 110 DEPUTIES, 15 DETECTIVES, 15 SERGEANTS, TWO LIEUTENANTS, AND MYSELF.

AND WE HAVE 43 PROFESSIONAL STAFF WHO SUPPORT US.

THE NUMBER OF DEPUTIES ON THE RADIO EACH DAY WILL VARY BASED ON THE DAY AND TIME, BUT IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO HAVE 30 OR MORE DEPUTIES ON THE SHIFT TO INCLUDE PATROL TRAFFIC AND OTHER SPECIALIZED TEAMS. IN ADDITION TO RCBD STAFFING, WE ALSO UTILIZE SHERIFF'S AVIATION, THE SPECIALIZED ENFORCEMENT DIVISION, SPECIALIZED DETECTIVES, BOMBS AND ARSON GANGS, NARCOTICS, CRIMINAL INTELLIGENCE, THE HOPE TEAM, THE CORONER, AND THE CRIME LAB AS NEEDED.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE ALSO UTILIZE OUR, UH, VOLUNTEERS.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, THE CALLS FOR SERVICE OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS, UM, HAVE ACTUALLY DROPPED.

SO GOING BACK TO OUR CALLS FOR SERVICE PRE COVID.

SO 2017 TO 2019, THE RANCHO STATION AVERAGED ABOUT 150,000 ANNUAL CALLS FOR SERVICE.

ONCE COVID HIT, IT DROPPED ABOUT 8,000, AND THEN 21, IT WAS ABOUT THE SAME AT 142,000 CALLS FOR SERVICE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, AT 22, IT WAS 128,750.

AND IN 23 DUE TO THE NETWORK DISRUPTION, UH, THAT WAS ONLY SIX MONTHS OF DATA THAT WAS ANALYZED, AND THE ESTIMATION IS 123,467.

SO WE'VE SEEN A STEADY DECREASE OF CALLS FOR SERVICE SINCE, SINCE COVID.

THIS ALLOWS FOR A HIGHER PRESENCE OF OUR DEPUTIES AND ALSO ALLOWS 'EM TO BE MORE PROACTIVE.

[00:05:01]

UM, ONE OF THOSE TEAMS IS GONNA BE OUR MULTIPLE ENFORCEMENT TEAM.

UH, THAT TEAM INVESTIGATES VIOLENT CRIMES AND OFFENSES RELATED TO NARCOTICS.

THE TEAM IS COMPRISED AND MADE UP OF ONE SERGEANT, ONE DETECTIVE, AND FIVE DEPUTIES.

WE ALSO HAVE OUR SOLUTIONS ORIENTED POLICING AND AS OR THE SO TEAM, UM, THAT TEAM IS RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE QUAL QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

THEY DEAL WITH THE HOMELESS, UH, MENTAL HEALTH, UH, LIQUOR LICENSE, UM, ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING.

AND THAT TEAM IS MADE UP OF ONE SERGEANT, ONE DETECTIVE, AND SIX DEPUTIES.

WE ALSO HAVE OUR VICTORIA GARDENS INVESTIGATIVE INVESTIGATIVE TEAM.

UM, THAT TEAM IS, UH, MADE UP PRETTY MUCH OF PATROL DEPUTIES WHO HANDLE PATROL FUNCTIONS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON RETAIL THEFT CRIMES.

UH, THEY COVER ALL OF THE VICTORIA GARDENS MALL ALONG WITH THE FOOTHILL BOULEVARD COURT, UH, BOULEVARD CORRIDOR.

UH, THEY MEET WITH RE RETAILERS TO DISCUSS CRIME TRENDS AND ORGANIZED RETAIL, UH, CRIMES THAT TEAM'S MADE UP OF ONE SERGEANT, ONE CORPORAL, AND 12 DEPUTIES.

SO WE SPOKE ABOUT MEMBERS OF OUR SOAP TEAM AND HOW THEY CONDUCT AFTER ACT ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING, UM, WHICH IS A HANDS-ON TRAINING.

UH, THIS TRAINING PROVIDES IS PROVIDED AT TO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, UH, STAFF AND STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.

UH, THEY ALSO PROVIDE, UH, SAFETY PRESENTATIONS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS AS WELL.

AND THEY MEET REGULARLY WITH APARTMENT MANAGERS AND NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH TEAMS HERE IN FRONT OF YOU, CR CANINE, UH, DEPUTIES.

UM, WE HAVE THREE CANINE DEPUTIES EACH ASSIGNED A BLOODHOUND HERE AT THE STATION.

THE PHOTOGRAPH TO OUR LEFT, IT SHOWS, UH, DEPUTY HASSEL WITH THIS CANINE KIVA, AND WE GOT KIVA IN 2022.

PHOTOGRAPH IN THE MIDDLE, THAT'S DEPUTY STORM WITH HER CAN NINE BOOTS.

AND WE JUST RECEIVED BOOTS EARLIER THIS YEAR IN 2024.

AND THE PHOTO TO THE RIGHT IS DEPUTY ALLEN WITH HER KINE NICKS, WHO WAS OUR OLDEST CANINE, AND WE RECEIVED HER IN 2019.

SO OUR CANINES AID DEPUTIES AND TRACKING OF FELONY SUSPECTS AS WELL AS MISSING PERSONS.

UH, AS YOU KNOW, OUR CANINES ARE LOVED THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND THEY, THEY HAVE A GREAT IMPACT ON EACH COMMUNITY EVENT THAT WE HAVE WITHIN THE CITY.

AND AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COMMUNITY EVENTS AND THE ENGAGEMENT THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS, UH, WE HOST REGULAR EVENTS WITH THE COMMUNITY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

UH, ONE OF 'EM IS GONNA BE ALONG WITH THE LIST THAT YOU GUYS SEE IN FRONT OF YOU.

UM, ONE THAT'S NOT ON THERE.

IT'S GONNA BE OUR SUMMER CAMP AT CENTRAL PARK WHERE OUR DEPUTIES, UH, INTEGRATE WITH THE KIDS WHO ARE OFF FOR SUMMER SCHOOL, UM, PROVIDING SEVERAL DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES WITH THEM.

UH, WE HAVE THE HEROES AND HELPERS.

UH, WE DO THAT WITH OUR UNION WITH SIBA, AND WE STUFF A BUS FULL OF GIFTS FOR CHILDREN WHO WERE HOSPITALIZED DURING THE HOLIDAYS.

THAT'S A GREAT EVENT THAT WE, UH, ARE ENGAGED IN AS WELL.

UH, WE HAD A GREAT TURNOUT, UH, THIS PAST SATURDAY AT OUR PUBLIC SAFETY OPEN HOUSE HERE IN THE CITY.

THIS SORT OF THE FIRST YEAR THAT THE PD, UH, FIRE DISTRICT AND PUBLIC WORKS JOINED FORCES TO ENHANCE THE COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE.

SO FOR THAT, UH, OPEN HOUSE, IT WAS VERY, VERY WELL ATTENDED.

I WAS A EXTREMELY, UH, GRATEFUL FOR THE ATTENDANCE THERE.

AND IN FACT, UH, THE LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT STAFF, THE LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT FROM THE FIRE STAFF AS WELL AS PUBLIC WORKS AND OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS, UH, WAS AMAZING.

THE PUBLIC WAS HAPPY.

EVERYBODY WAS SMILING.

UH, THE RON ICE BICYCLE RODEO WAS WELL ATTENDED.

WE PROBABLY HAD ABOUT, UH, 40 BIKES TO GIVE AWAY AS WELL AS BICYCLE HELMETS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO WE HAD PEOPLE LINED UP, THEY HAD A GREAT TIME.

AND BEFORE I WAS LEAVING, IT WAS ABOUT ONE 15 A A YOUNG GIRL APPROACHED ME.

SHE WAS ABOUT EIGHT YEARS OLD, AND SHE SAID, UH, HEY OFFICER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING THIS TODAY.

WE REALLY HAD A GOOD TIME.

HER MOM WAS BEHIND HER AND SHE STOPPED ME.

AND SHE SAID, HEY, JUST SO YOU KNOW, UM, WE LIVE IN LOS ANGELES AND WE CAME ALL THE WAY OUT HERE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS, AND I'M GLAD WE DID.

UH, SO IT WAS KIND OF SOMETHING SPECIAL I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL THAT.

UH, THEY MADE THAT TRIP FROM LA TO COME OUT AND, AND SEE US.

AND I ALSO WANTED TO SAY THAT, UH, THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE CITY, POLICE AND FIRE PLAY A HUGE ROLE IN THAT.

BUT SO DO ALL THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS, UM, WITHIN THE CITY.

UH, MY PARTNERS ARE SEATED BACK HERE, UH, IN THE ROOM.

EACH ONE OF THEIR DEPARTMENTS PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN THE SAFETY, SECURITY, AND, UH, BEAUTIFICATION OF THE CITY.

SO I WANNA MAKE SURE I, UH, I GIVE THEM THOSE KUDOS.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU CHIEFS.

UM, LIEUTENANT AND CHIEF SMITH AND LIEUTENANT MCS, MC CHRISTIAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

APPRECIATE IT.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ANYONE HAS ON THE PRESENTATION? I, I, I APPLAUD YOU AFTER YEAR TO YEAR LOOKING AT THAT ONE OF THE EARLIER SCREENS ABOUT THE DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF CALLS FOR SERVICE, UH, THAT SHOWS YOUR PREVENTION EFFORTS ARE, ARE TRULY WORKING AND, AND PAYING OFF.

[00:10:01]

MR. MAYOR, MAY I PULL D FOUR? AND I DID NOT TELL YOU EARLIER, SO DO YOU MIND IF I PULL THAT ONE TONIGHT? YES.

SINCE YOU DID NOT TELL ME, YOU CANNOT PULL IT.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY WITH COUNCIL MEMBER SCOTT ABSTAINING AND ITEM D THREE WITH EXCEPTION TO ITEM D FOUR.

ITEM D FOUR.

MR. MAYOR, I KNOW WE WERE ALL THINKING OF THIS AS EACH COUNCIL MEMBER READ THAT PARTICULAR AGENDA ITEM.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU INDULGING ME AND ALLOWING ME TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS BECAUSE I KNOW WE WERE ALL THINKING OF IT, BUT IT'S THE FIRST TIME IN A VERY LONG TIME.

HOW LONG MR. SISON, SINCE WE'VE ACTUALLY NAMED A FACILITY AFTER AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, WOULD THAT BE SINCE THE LIBRARY? PROBABLY, YEAH.

PROBABLY GOING BACK TO THE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS WHEN, UM, WHEN WE, UM, NAMED SOME FACILITIES AT CENTRAL PARK OR, OR THAT AFTER OR AT, UH, VICTORIA GARDENS AFTER ELECTED OFFICIALS.

SO TONIGHT WE'RE CONSIDERING RECOMMENDING THAT THE MEMORIAL PARK NINE 11 BE NAMED AFTER ONE OF OUR DEAR COLLEAGUES, SAM SPAGNOLO.

AND SO I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING AN ACTUAL FORMAL PRESENTATION WHEN THAT EVENT TAKES PLACE, BUT I DIDN'T WANT THIS AGENDA ITEM TO JUST GO UNNOTICED, SO I'M JUST GONNA READ WHY WE'RE DOING THAT.

SAM SPAGNOLO NOLO WORKED 20 YEARS TO BRING SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001 MEMORABILIA FROM ALL THE CRASH SITES TO RANCHO CUCAMONGA TO ESTABLISH A MEMORIAL TO HONOR ALL FIRST RESPONDERS AND OTHERS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES.

ON THAT TRAGIC DAY, MR. SPAGNOLO HELPED FOUND A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION FREEDOMS FLAME, AND WORKED TIRELESSLY TO STORE ITEMS FOR THE DAY WHEN THE CITY HAD BOTH A FUNDING AND A SITE AND A DESIGN.

AND SO I KNOW I WAS VERY MOVED WHEN I READ THAT ON THE AGENDA, AND I JUST DID NOT WANT THAT TO PASS TONIGHT WITHOUT MAKING COMMENT.

AS I MENTIONED, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A FORMAL CEREMONY WHEN THAT ACTUAL NAMING TAKES PLACE AND WHEN THAT MEMORIAL IS COMPLETED.

THANK YOU.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM D FOUR? SO MOVE SECOND, PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY AND I KNOW THE OLA FAMILY WILL BE INCREDIBLY HONORED FOR THIS RECOGNITION.

UH, AND JUST SO THE PUBLIC IS AWARE, THE NAMING RIGHTS CHANGED MANY YEARS AGO TO NOW ANYTHING THAT'S GONNA BE NAMED IN SOMEBODY'S BUDDY'S NAME FOR ALL THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION THEY HAVE DONE, IT'S DONE IN MEMORIA.

IT'S DONE AFTER THEY UNFORTUNATELY PASS.

AND IN SAM'S CASE, UH, THIS IS TRULY A TRIBUTE TO EVERYTHING THAT HE MEANT TO THE CITY MEANT TO THIS FIRE DISTRICT AND HIS LOVE FOR THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

SO THANK YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP, LYNN.

WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO, UM, OUR PUBLIC.

LET ME GRAB THIS

[CONSENT CALENDAR ORDINANCE(S) - SECOND READING/ADOPTION]

[E1. Consideration of Second Reading and Adoption of the Following:   ORDINANCE NO. 1031 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT TO AMEND ARTICLES III, V, AND IX OF TITLE 17 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE, TO ESTABLISH STANDARDS FOR THE INSTALLATION AND USE OF BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE FACILITY USES, AND FINDING AN EXEMPTION FROM CEQA UNDER SECTION 15061(B)(3) OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES]

UH, IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS ORDINANCE AS IT WAS FIRST READING IN OUR LAST MEETING AND WAS APPROVED FOR FIRST READING WITH A PUBLIC HEARING?

[00:15:01]

THEN I WOULD ASK TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO WAIVE FULL READING AND ADOPT ORDINANCE NUMBER 1 0 3 1 BY TO BE READ BY TITLE ONLY AND WAIVE FURTHER READING.

MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND.

SECOND, MADAM CLERK, ORDINANCE NUMBER 1 0 3 1.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA APPROVING A MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT TO AMEND ARTICLES THREE, FIVE AND NINE OF TITLE 17 OF A MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH STANDARDS FOR THE INSTALLATION AND USE OF BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE FACILITY USES AND FINDING AN EXEMPTION FROM CE QA UNDER SECTION 1 5 0 6 1 B THREE OF THE SE QA GUIDELINES.

VERY GOOD, PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

THERE ARE NO ADMINISTRATIVE

[ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING ITEM(S)]

[ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARINGS ITEM(S) - CITY/FIRE DISTRICT]

[G1. Public Hearing to Consider Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1032 to Extend by 10 Months and 15 Days the Moratorium on the Granting of any Zoning Approval, Home Occupation Permit, or other Permit, License, or Land Use Entitlement for Using Real Properties Zoned and/or Developed for Residential Use in the City of Rancho Cucamonga for Home Experience Sharing Enacted by Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1030. (INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 1032) (CITY)]

SO I'D LIKE TO HAVE CARRIE RIOS, OUR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT MANAGER COME DOWN AND SHE'LL GIVE YOU THE STAFF REPORT ON THIS ITEM.

IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER, UM, INTERIM EMERGENCY ORDINANCE NUMBER 10 32, WHICH WOULD EXTEND OUR CURRENT MORATORIUM ON, UM, HOME EXPERIENCE SHARING FOR AN ADDITIONAL 10 MONTHS AND 15 DAYS WHILE WE'RE WORKING ON THE REGULATIONS TO BE BROUGHT FORWARD TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL.

UM, SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO CARRIE.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL.

TONIGHT WE'LL DISCUSS A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO ADOPT INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE NUMBER 1 0 3 2, WHICH EXTENDS THE MORATORIUM ON HOME EXPERIENCE SHARING FOR ADDITIONAL 10 MONTHS AND 15 DAYS AS A REFRESHER AND FOR THE PUBLIC THAT MAY NOT, THAT MAY BE HEARING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME.

I'LL BRIEFLY DEFINE WHAT WE MEAN BY HOME EXPERIENCE SHARING.

THE TERM REFERS TO THE RENTAL OF RECREATIONAL AMENITIES ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES INDEPENDENT OF ANY RESIDENTIAL RENTAL.

THESE AMENITIES INCLUDE SWIMMING POOLS, BARBECUES, AND SPORTS COURTS.

UNDER THIS MORATORIUM HOME EXPERIENCE SHARING IS DECLARED UNLAWFUL ACROSS ALL ZONES IN THE CITY.

THIS MEANS THAT NO EXISTING OR NEW HOME EXPERIENCE SHARING ACTIVITIES CAN TAKE PLACE, NOR WILL ANY PERMITS OR LICENSE FOR SUCH ACTIVITIES BE APPROVED DURING THE MORATORIUM PERIOD UNDER GOVERNMENT CODE.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

UNDER GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 6 5 6 5 8 5 8, THE CITY CAN ENACT INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCES TO PROTECT PUBLIC WELFARE.

THE CURRENT MORATORIUM ON HOME EXPERIENCE SHARING ESTABLISHED BY ORDINANCE NUMBER 1 0 3 0 IS SET SET TO EXPIRE ON NOVEMBER 1ST, 2024, AND WE RECOMMEND AN EXTENSION.

THE EXTENSION AIMS TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY WHILE ALLOWING TIME TO STUDY THE IMPACTS OF HOME EXPERIENCE SHARING.

THIS INCLUDES DEVELOPING REGULATIONS TO MITIGATE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

THE ANALYSIS SO FAR HOME EXPERIENCE SHARING HAS GAINED POPULARITY PROVIDING SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME TO FAMILIES.

HOWEVER, IT BRINGS SEVERAL, SEVERAL CHALLENGES INCLUDING INCREASED NOISE, TRAFFIC, AND SAFETY ISSUES, WHICH CURRENT LAWS DO NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESS COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT HAS SEEN AN INCREASE IN CASES THIS PAST YEAR AND RESPONDED TO A CONCERN JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND.

THE COMPLAINT WAS ABOUT A PROPERTY RENTING ITS POOL WHERE LOUD MUSIC AND PARKING ISSUES WERE CAUSING A NUISANCE TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE CITY IS ACTIVELY STUDYING THE IMPLICATIONS OF HOME EXPERIENCE SHARING TO DETERMINES ITS APPROPRIATENESS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

THIS STUDY WILL HELP CREATE THE NECESSARY REGULATIONS TO ENSURE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY WHILE INTEGRATING THESE ACTIVITIES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

THE CURRENT ORDINANCE IS CURRENTLY BEING ENFORCED ACCORDING TO THE GEN, THE GENERAL ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONS IN THE MUNICIPAL CODE VIOLATING IN ANY ASPECT OF THE CURRENT ORDINANCE CONSTITUTES A MISDEMEANOR WITH PENALTIES INCLUDING CITATIONS EACH DAY.

A VIOLATION COUNTS AS A SEPARATE OFFENSE EMPHASIZING THE SERIOUSNESS OF COMPLIANCE.

ADDITIONALLY, VIOLATIONS CAN BE TREATED AS NUISANCES, ALLOWING THE CITY TO TAKE CIVIL ACTION TO ABATE THE ISSUES THE NEXT STEP.

THIS URGENCY ORDINANCE IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURING WE CAN EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH HOME EXPERIENCE SHARING IN OUR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

DURING THE EXTENSION PERIOD, STAFF WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE ACTION.

WE'LL CONTINUE RESEARCHING THE IMPACTS OF HOME EXPERIENCE SHARING, AND ACTIVELY ENGAGE WITH RESIDENTS, PROPERTY OWNERS, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO GATHER INSIGHT AND ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS.

WE'LL FOCUS ON DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK THAT WILL ADDRESS SAFETY, MAINTENANCE AND COMMUNITY INTEGRATION

[00:20:01]

AS MENTIONED IN THIS PRESENTATION, EXTENDING THE MORATORIUM WILL ALLOW THE NECESSARY TIME STAFF NEEDS TO CONDUCT THOROUGH STUDIES AND ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY TO FURTHER UNDERSTAND THEIR CONCERNS.

TO CONCLUDE, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE CITY'S COUNCIL ADOPT BY A FOUR FIFTHS VOTE.

INTERIM URGENCY NUMBER 1 0 3 2, EXTENDING THE CURRENT MORATORIUM PROHIBITING HOME EXPERIENCE SHARING USES FOR AN ADDITIONAL 10 MONTHS AND 15 DAYS.

THIS INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE WILL TAKE EFFECT AT MIDNIGHT ON NOVEMBER 1ST, 2024, AND EXPIRE ON SEPTEMBER 15TH, 2025.

WITH THAT, THIS CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION AND WE ARE OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU.

QUESTIONS OF STAFF BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SEEING NONE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IS THERE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT DESIRES TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON THIS MATTER OF THIS URGENCY ORDINANCE? SEEING NONE, THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

WE'LL BRING IT BACK FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS.

IF THERE ARE NONE, WE'VE DEALT WITH THIS EARLIER AND NOW WE'RE JUST EXTENDING IT FOR, FOR THE REST OF THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR.

UM, SO DO I ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO INTRODUCE WA FULL READING OF BY AN BY TITLE ONLY AND ADOPT BY A FOUR-FIFTHS VOTE INTERIM ORDINANCE NUMBER 1 0 3 2, MOVE FOR APPROVAL.

SECOND MADAM CLERK, INTERIM URGENCY, ORDINANCE NUMBER 1 0 3 2.

AN INTERIM URGENCY ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA ENACTED PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 6 5 8 5 8 EXTEND BY 10 MONTHS AND 15 DAYS A MORATORIUM ON THE GRANTING OF ANY ZONING APPROVAL, HOME OCCUPATION, PERMIT, OR OTHER PERMIT, LICENSE OR LAND USE ENTITLEMENT FOR USING REAL PROPERTIES ZONED AND OR DEVELOPED FOR RESIDENTIAL USE IN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA FOR HOME EXPERIENCE SHARING AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF.

VERY GOOD.

PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

VERY GOOD, THANK YOU.

WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO CITY MANAGER

[CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORT(S)]

WE HAVE

[H1. Consideration of Lease Agreement with Galleano Winery, Inc. for Landscaping the Leased Premises Envisioned within the Central Park Master Plan. (CITY)]

MR. GILSON? YES, MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

SO AS YOU KNOW, UM, IT'S BEEN A COUNCIL GOAL FOR A WHILE NOW, UM, TO, TO CONTINUE TO BE MOVING FORWARD ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF CENTRAL PARK.

UM, FOLLOWING THE, UM, GREAT RECESSION IN THE DOWNTURN OF 2009 THROUGH 11, UM, THE CITY WENT BACK AND REVISED THE CENTRAL PARK MASTER PLAN AFTER A SERIES OF EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND MEETINGS.

UM, AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THAT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED.

UM, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING, UM, EVER SINCE THE EARLY 2020S ON THE NEW CENTRAL PARK MASTER PLAN.

AN ELEMENT OF THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN, UM, UM, A PART OF OUR HERITAGE WITH, UH, UM, A VINEYARD IN THAT.

AND SO THE LEAD FOR THE CITY ON THE CENTRAL PARK PROJECT, INCLUDING THE MASTER PLAN AND SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN ALYSSA COX, THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER.

SO I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO HER FOR THE PRESENTATION.

ALYSSA, GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TOPICS, ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH CENTRAL PARK, SO I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE UP HERE WITH YOU THIS EVENING.

UM, THE PICTURE OF THIS GRAPES ON THIS SLIDE AND ON OUR, UH, ON OUR FINAL SLIDE I JUST WANNA POINT OUT ARE ACTUAL GRAPES THAT ARE GROWING IN OUR VINEYARD RIGHT NOW.

SO WE'LL GET, WE'LL GET INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT, BUT THESE ARE, THESE ARE ACTUALLY RANCHO CUCAMONGA GRAPES RIGHT HERE.

SO YOU'LL REMEMBER, UH, BACK IN JUNE, 2017 AND THROUGH EARLY 18, WE CONDUCTED A ROBUST COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS TO SOLICIT COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CENTRAL PARK MASTER PLAN.

UH, THIS PROCESS INCLUDED MULTIPLE ONLINE SURVEYS, MULTIPLE COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS, VARIOUS STAFF STUDY SESSIONS, COMMISSION AND COUNCIL STUDY SESSIONS, AND IT WAS VERY NEW TECHNOLOGY AT THE TIME.

WE DID AN ONLINE FACEBOOK LIVE BROADCAST SESSION Q AND A AND THIS WAS CUTTING TECHNOLOGY ONCE UPON A TIME.

THE RESULT OF THAT PROCESS ALLOWED THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONFIRM THE DIRECTION OF THE CENTRAL PARK, UH, MASTER PLAN AS A UNIQUE PLACE FOR UNIQUE AMENITIES THROUGHOUT THE OUR CITY.

ONE THAT WOULDN'T REPLICATE IN ANY OTHER PARKS AND ONES THAT WOULD BRING REGIONAL DRAW INTO THE OUR COMMUNITY.

UH, PREVIOUS ITERATIONS OF THE MASTER PLAN HAD BEEN LARGE ACRES, UM, BASICALLY SPLITTING IT UP INTO THREE OR FOUR SECTIONS AT A TIME.

AND WE WENT BACK AND REDID THIS PLAN SO THAT WE COULD DO IT IN SMALLER BUILDABLE SEGMENTS THAT WE COULD DO IN TWO TO 11 SEGMENTS AT A TIME, WHICH GAVE, GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD UP AND SAVE FOR FUNDING FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL SECTION.

[00:25:01]

SO AFTER WE DID OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, THE CITY COUNCIL SENT US BACK TO SOLIDIFY THE DESIRE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS BY ACTUALLY PREPARING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY BEEN DONE ON ANY OF THE MASTER PLANS BEFORE.

THIS REALLY HELPS US IN THAT NEXT STEP IN DEVELOPING THE FUNDING AND GETTING THINGS MOVING EACH TIME THROUGH.

SO THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING DOCUMENT, UM, WHICH AT THE TIME DEFINED THE DEVELOPMENT OF WHAT WAS ROUGHLY 76 ACRES.

NOW IT'S A LITTLE LESS THAN 70 ACRES WITH THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE OPENING OF THE BARK AT CENTRAL PARK, UM, IS REALLY A COMMUNITY INSPIRED RECREATIONAL ELEMENT PLAN, AS I SAID, INCORPORATING THAT PHASED APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT.

UM, EACH OF OUR SEGMENTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE ITS OWN BUILDABLE SEGMENT, UM, AND IT ENABLES US TO CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF FUNDINGS AND PARTNERSHIPS IN ORDER TO KEEP THIS PROJECT MOVING A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME.

SO ONE OF THE PHASES IN THE CENTRAL PARK MASTER PLAN WAS THE VITICULTURE PAVILION.

DURING OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND DISCOVERING PORTION OF THE MASTER PLAN, THERE WERE MORE VINES PRESENT ON THE PROPERTY THAN WE HAD ORIGINALLY BELIEVED TO STILL BE LIVING.

WE, IT WAS OUR HOPE THAT WITH PROPER CARE THESE VINES COULD POSSIBLY FLOURISH AND THRIVE INTO THE FUTURE.

AND EXCITED BY THAT DISCOVERY AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESERVE A PIECE OF THE CITY'S AGRICULTURAL HISTORY.

THE VITICULTURE PAVILION IN THE ADJACENT VINEYARD WAS INCLUDED IN THE MASTER PLAN TO PROVIDE INSIGHT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS INTO THE VITICULTURAL HERITAGE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA, AS WELL AS TO ENSURE THE CONTINUATION OF THE CUCAMONGA VALLEY AMERICAN VITICULTURAL AREA.

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS SINCE THE PLAN WAS ADOPTED, GINO FELIPE AND DOMINIC GALLIANO HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO CARE FOR SOME OF THESE HISTORICAL VINES AND HAS HOPED MANY OF THEM HAVE COME BACK TO LIFE AS PROVEN, PROVEN BY THE PICTURES EARLY ON.

UM, THESE VINES, WE ARE ESTIMATING TO BE AT LEAST 80 YEARS OLD AND THEY'RE COMING BACK TO LIFE WITH SOME REALLY BEAUTIFUL AND REGULAR TLC.

BOTH THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND GALLO WINERY INCORPORATED RECOGNIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING EXISTING VINEYARDS AND EXPANDING THE VINEYARD ACREAGE OF THE A VAA MINIMUM LEVEL OF PRODUCTION IS CRITICAL TO MAINTAIN THE A VA DESIGNATION AND TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO SHOWCASE THE CLASSIC WINES OF THE CUCAMONGA VALLEY.

WITH DEVELOPMENT ENCROACHING ON MANY OF THE HISTORICAL CUCAMONGA VALLEY VINEYARDS, THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESTORE AND EXPAND AN EXISTING FOLLOW FORMER VINEYARD IS A UNIQUE WAY TO HELP PRESERVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA VITICULTURAL HERITAGE.

SO THROUGH THE LEASE, GALLIANO WINERY WILL CONTINUE THE REVITALIZATION RESTORATION OF THE EXISTING HISTORICAL VINES BRINGING BACK TO A PRODUCTION LEVEL OF GROWTH.

THESE HISTORICAL BLOCKS WILL SERVE AS EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITS FOR VISITORS ILLUSTRATING THE HERITAGE OF THE VALLEY, WHILE ALSO PRODUCING SOME OF THE EXCELLENT ZINFANDEL AND MISSION GRAPES AND VINTAGES.

THE AREA KNOWN FOR FURTHER GALLIANO WINERY WILL WORK TO CLONE AND INTRODUCE NEW SPECIFIC GREAT VINES IN A MODERN WORKING BLOCK LAYOUT THAT CAN EXPAND CAPACITY AND ENSURE THAT THE LEASE A AREA REMAINS A VITAL PART OF PRODUCTION IN THE VALLEY.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS LEASE IS BOTH TO SHOWCASE OUR HISTORY IN THE AREA AND TO MAINTAIN ACTIVE PRODUCTION OF WINES FOR THE AREA JUST AS THE MASTER PLAN HAD ENVISIONED.

AND I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT HERE, YOU SEE THE AREA ON THE MAP WITH ALL OF THE BLUE AND RED AND GREEN DOTS.

THOSE ARE WHERE OUR CURRENT VINES EXIST.

OUR MANY, UH, PEOPLE, A PART OF OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM WENT OUT AND WITH THE HELP OF GIS WENT AND CATALOGED WHERE ALL OF THE VINES ARE.

AND SO THOSE, WE BASE A LOT OF THE MASTER PLAN ITSELF AND THEN WHERE THE TENTATIVE TRACK MAPS WOULD BE BASED OFF OF WHERE THE EXISTING VINES ARE, AND THEN AREAS THAT WE COULD BUILD THE NEW VINES IN WITHIN TO THE LANDSCAPING WITHOUT IMPACTING ANY OF THE PROGRAMMING THAT THE MASTER PLAN CALLS FOR.

SO THE MASTER PLAN, OR I'M SORRY, THE LEASE OF THE LAND WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $400 A YEAR WITH THE OPTION TO RECEIVE A PRIVATE LABEL WINE FROM THE GRAPES FOR CEREMONIAL PURPOSES AND EVENTS, BUT NOT FOR SALE.

THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT IS VALID FOR 10 YEARS WITH TWO OPTIONS TO EXTEND THE INITIAL TERM FOR FIVE YEARS EACH THE LENGTH OF THE LEASE AND THE FACT THAT THE RENT DOES NOT BEGIN UNTIL IN AREAS PLANTED WAS DESIGNATED TO SUPPORT AND RECOGNIZE THE SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT THE LEASEE WILL MAKE IN RESTORING AND MAINTAINING THE SUBJECT AREA.

SO WITH THAT, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE THIS LEASE BETWEEN THE CITY OF RANCH CUCAMONGA AND GALLO WINERY WINERY INCORPORATED LEASING A PORTION OF CENTRAL PARK FOR THE PURPOSE OF PLANTING THE SUBJECT AREA WITH GRAPEVINES AS ENVISIONED WITHIN THE CENTRAL PARK MASTER PLAN AND TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT WITH GALLIANO

[00:30:01]

WITH THAT, I'LL SHOWCASE A FEW MORE GRAPES AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, ALYSSA COX? I DO MR. MAYOR? SURE.

UM, FIRST OF ALL, ALYSSA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WORKING ON THIS VERY UNIQUE PROJECT HERE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CITIES ARE ACTIVELY PLANTING 10 ACRE VINEYARDS IN THEIR CITIES, BUT I IMAGINE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF REALLY CUSTOMIZED TERMS IN THIS LEASE TO BE ABLE TO, TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

I THINK THIS IS KIND OF A WIN-WIN WIN IN THE FACT THAT, UH, OUR COMMUNITY SAID THAT WE'RE REALLY INTERESTED IN PRESERVING OPEN SPACES IS A GREAT WAY TO DO IT, UH, IN A BIG IN IN A BIG WAY.

UM, PRESERVING OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE AND AGRICULTURE, WHICH WE'VE HAD HERE IS, IS QUITE A LOT LONGER THAN I'VE BEEN AROUND.

AND IT ALLOWS US TO DEVELOP A PORTION OF CENTRAL PARK WITHOUT BREAKING OUR GENERAL FUND, WHICH IS ALSO A REALLY GOOD THING.

I SEE, UH, GINO FLIPPY, UH, IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY, WHO'S ALSO, LIKE YOU SAID, DONE A LOT OF WORK ON THIS AND MADE THIS POSSIBLE FOR US.

SO I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF, A LOT OF, UH, PLAYERS HAVE BEEN PART OF THIS TEAM AND I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU GUYS FOR DOING THIS.

THIS IS SOMETHING I'M PERSONALLY, UH, REALLY EXCITED ABOUT.

I'M FROM A FAMILY OF GREAT FARMERS MYSELF.

I THINK VI UH, VINEYARDS ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND PRETTY EXCITED TO HAVE ONE HERE, UH, IN CENTRAL PARK.

THANKS.

AND IF I MIGHT, UH, GINO HAS BEEN AN AMAZING PARTNER AT THESE LAST FEW YEARS.

UM, AND NOT NECESSARILY AS PART OF THIS LEASE, BUT JUST BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE FOR THE LINES AND FOR THE AREA, UM, CONTINUES TO WORK WITH US AND SHARE THE HISTORY AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO RECORD SOME OF THAT HISTORY AND KEEP THAT FOR PROSPERITY.

SO HUGE, HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNER AND, AND NUMBER ONE VOLUNTEER ON THIS PROJECT.

I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU ALSO TO ALYSSA AND GINO.

WE HAD A CHANCE AS A COUNCIL TO TASTE SOME OF THE GRAPES THAT WERE ALMOST 100 YEARS OLD AND THEY WERE AMAZING.

WE HAD DEL MISSION AND ROSA PALINO, PALINO PALOMINO, AND THEY WERE ALL JUST FANTASTIC.

SO I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE BOTTLED.

SO THANK YOU.

WE HAVE OUR OWN BRAND OF WINE FOR RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

I I WOULD JUST MAYBE JUST SAY, UM, IT WARMS MY HEART, GINO, YOUR FAMILY BEING IN THIS VALLEY FOR DECADES.

UM, AND TO SEE YOUR WORK TO NURTURE AND GO OUT AND SEARCH AND DISCOVER IN A SENSE ALMOST LIKE A TREASURE HUNT OLD VINES THAT, UM, I'M NOT SURE IF YOU PLANTED THEM BECAUSE THAT WAS 80 YEARS AGO, , BUT I CERTAINLY REMEMBER, UH, DRIVING ON A BUS ON 19TH STREET AND DRIVING BY AND BASELINE AS A, AS A YOUNG SCHOOL KID AND SEEING VINEYARDS FROM A FOREST, AS YOU COULD SEE FROM HAVEN AVENUE ALL THE WAY OUT TO, TO ROCHESTER.

UM, AND, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU TALK ABOUT HISTORICAL PRESERVATION AND WE HAVE SOME HOUSES THAT WE HAVE RESTORED AND, AND WE HAVE OUR, OUR, OUR, OUR HISTORICAL HOMES IN OUR CITY, BUT WE'VE NEVER HAD A HISTORICAL VINEYARD, UH, THAT WE, THAT TRULY IS THE EMBLEM OF OUR CITY, A A A CLUSTER OF GRAPES.

SO, UM, THANK YOU GINO.

THANK YOU ALYSSA, THANK YOU STAFF FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD.

IT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO BE NOT ONLY THE ABILITY TO, TO MAKE WINE, FINE WINES, WE HOPE, UM, BUT ALSO FOR OUR CHILDREN TO LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY OF OUR COMMUNITY, UH, WAY BACK WHEN RANCHO KOKOMO WAS THREE LITTLE COMMUNITIES AND, AND, UH, EVEN BEFORE THEY WERE EVEN NAMED.

SO, UM, ANYWAY, DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, UH, BASED ON STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IN THE STAFF REPORT? 'CAUSE IT'S A LITTLE LENGTHY AND, UH, IF WE JUST APPROVE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION ON THE LEASE APPROVAL AND ALL THE PS THAT GO WITH IT, AND THE CITY MANAGES AUTHORITY, UH, AS PART OF THAT.

SO MOVE SECOND, PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

VERY GOOD.

WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO COUNCIL BUSINESS.
