SO GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE ALSO.
OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS A PRESENTATION FROM THE DIOCESE, I BELIEVE, AND THAT IS THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE DISTRICT IS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A FIRE RISK REDUCTION COMMUNITY.
I'D LIKE TO CALL FORWARD OUR DEPUTY FIRE CHIEF RICK SAUDER AND OUR FIRE MARSHAL SHANE ADAMS.
[00:10:13]
OKAY.GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MICHAEL, MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL.
SO TONIGHT, UH, FIRE MARSHAL SHANE ADAMS AND I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THE, UH, WILD LAND READINESS AND RESOURCE ISSUES.
AND, UH, THE FIRST ONE'S GONNA BE, UH, THAT SHANE WILL COVER IS THE RISK REDUCTION COMMUNITY DESIGNATION, AND THAT WAS JUST A STATE DESIGNATION, UH, FOR THE DISTRICT WILDLAND PLANNING AND MITIGATION PROGRAM.
THE SECOND ONE WILL BE THE, THE HEA POD PROGRAM.
SO THIS IS A, BASICALLY THIS IS PATENTED AERIAL DEVICE.
IT'S FOR FIREFIGHTER, IT'S A FIREFIGHTER DIPPING TANK.
AND THE LAST ONE WE'LL TALK ABOUT IS THE, UH, FIREBIRD DETECTION SYSTEM, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY AN EARLY DETECTION DEVICE ACROSS OUR WALL AND URBAN INTERFACE.
SO SHANE WILL KICK IT OFF AND THEN I'LL CLOSE IT OUT.
UM, SO RECENTLY THE FIRE DISTRICT WAS DESIGNATED AS A FIRE RISK REDUCTION COMMUNITY BY THE BOARD OF FORESTRY.
AND WHAT THAT DESIGNATION DOES IS, UH, ALLOWS US TWO THINGS.
ONE IS ELIGIBLE FOR STATE GRANT FUNDING FOR WILDFIRE MITIGATION PROJECTS, AND TWO, IS A MANDATE BY THE STATE, UM, TO REDUCE INSURANCE COSTS FOR OUR HOMEOWNERS.
SO THE FIRE DISTRICT WAS SELECTED BASED ON OUR GENERAL PLAN, OUR WILDFIRE PREPAREDNESS PLAN, LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, AMONG MANY OTHER PLANNING DOCUMENTS THAT SAYS THAT OUR, OUR COMMUNITY IS DEVELOPED AND BUILT WITH SAFETY AT THE FOREFRONT.
AND, UM, WITH THE WILDLAND ENVIRONMENT, UM, THERE'S ABOUT 160 OTHER CITIES AND SPECIAL DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT WAS DESIGNATED WITH, UH, THE RISK REDUCTION COMMUNITY LIST.
SECOND, UM, IN TERMS OF OUR WILDFIRE MITIGATION, THE FIRE DISTRICT RECENTLY PROCURED, UM, A HEA POD, UH, WHAT A HELI POD DOES, IF I CAN MUTE THIS HERE.
UM, WHAT A HELI POD DOES IS AN AERIAL FIREFIGHTING TANK, UH, OF WATER.
IT'S ABOUT 3,700 GALLONS OF WATER THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AT OUR BANYAN FIRE STATION AT THE CORNER OF BANYAN AND, AND MILLIKEN AND OUR AVIATION PARTNERS, UM, FROM CAL FIRE CAN COME DIP, UM, THE TANK, UH, GET ABOUT A 800 GALLONS OF WATER AND BE ABLE TO, UM, PLACE WATER ON A FIRE DURING INITIAL ATTACK, UM, IN RAPID SUCCESSION.
SO INSTEAD OF BRINGING HELICOPTERS IN FROM, UM, THE REGION AND BEING ABLE TO, THAT FLIGHT TIME BACK AND FORTH, HAVING THIS AERIAL ASSET HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY REDUCES THAT TRAVEL TIME, UH, BACK AND FORTH FROM OTHER AREAS IN THE REGION.
SO, UH, THIS IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.
IT IS A PORTABLE UNIT, SO WE CAN JUST, UM, PLACE IT ANYWHERE THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY, EVEN OUR REGION.
SO IF THERE'S A WILDFIRE THREAT THAT MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON RANCHO CUCAMONGO, WE COULD BE A PART OF OUR GOOD PARTNERSHIP AND TAKE THAT TO ANOTHER REGION AND SET IT THERE.
SO THIS, UH, DEVICE CONNECTS TO A STANDARD FIRE HYDRANT AND FILLS UP IN ABOUT FOUR MINUTES, AND AS THE HELICOPTERS GO BACK AND FORTH, WE'RE ABLE TO GET, UH, FIRE ON WATER.
I'M SORRY, WATER ON FIRE THAT MUCH QUICKER.
COULD YOU REAL, JUST REAL QUICK FOR THE AUDIENCE, COULD YOU EXPLAIN HOW THAT HELICOPTER TAKES THE WATER OUT OF THAT TANK? ABSOLUTELY.
UM, SO THIS HELICOPTER IS COMING OUT OF PRADO, UH, DOWN IN CHINO.
AND SO THE HELICOPTER TRAVELS UP TO, UM, OUR BANYAN FIRE STATION.
THAT BLACK THING THAT'S COMING OUT OF THE HELICOPTER IS A SNORKEL TUBE.
AND SO THERE'S 3,700 GALLONS OF WATER INSIDE THE TANK RIGHT NOW.
THEY'LL DIP THE TANK AND THEY START TO SUCTION.
IT TAKES ABOUT A MINUTE FOR THEM TO FILL UP, AND NOW THEY ARE FILLING THEIR TANK ABOUT 800 GALLONS.
IT TAKES ABOUT A MINUTE FOR THEM TO FILL UP, AND THEN IF THERE WAS A FIRE, THEY WOULD TRAVEL TO THE FIRE AND DISPLACE THAT WATER ON THE FIRE AS PART OF INITIAL ATTACK.
SO IT GOES ON, THEY FLY AWAY EVENTUALLY AND, AND DROP THE WATER.
SO AT THIS POINT, THEY HAVE THAT 800 GALLONS OF WATER, AND THEY CAN DISPLACE THAT ON A FIRE ANYWHERE IN OUR REGION.
SO THIS SLIDE, WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS THESE ARE THE, THE FIREBIRD DETECTION DEVICES, AND, UH, BACK IN JANUARY OF, OF LAST YEAR, UH, CHIEF BERETTA AND MIKE PALMER GAVE A PRESENTATION TO YOU ABOUT THESE, UH, EARLY DETECTION DEVICES AND REALLY, ESSENTIALLY HOW THEY'RE DESIGNED.
SO EACH ONE OF THESE, UM, HAS A 360 DEGREE VIEWING ANGLE ON THEM.
[00:15:01]
AND, UH, THE DESIGN IS, THEY'RE, THEY'RE GONNA BE, UH, THEY ARE ALREADY IN PLACE AND THEY'RE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE NORTHERN BORDER OF OUR, OF OUR CITY, ACROSS THE FRONT COUNTRY, THE VEGETATION, WE HAVE A TOTAL OF, UH, THREE, UH, THREE 30 OF THESE DEVICES.AND, UH, THE WAY IN WHICH THEY WORK IS GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
THE WAY IN WHICH THEY WORK IS THERE'S A, LIKE I SAID, THERE'S 30 DETECTORS.
THEY CAN, UH, SPOT A FIVE FOOT BY FIVE FOOT ON A THOUSAND FEET AWAY FOR THESE DETECTORS CAN REACH.
AND, UH, UM, THERE'S, UH, ON EACH OF THE DEVICES, THERE'S UH, EIGHT THERMAL SENSORS AND THERE'S ALSO SIX PHOTO SENSORS.
AND, UH, THE WAY THOSE ARE DESIGNED TO WORK IS, I'LL GET TO THE, UH, THE HOW HERE IN A SECOND.
SO, UM, ON THE LAST SLIDE, BEFORE WE WERE OFFERED A GRANT FOR ONE POINT, IT WASN'T GRANT, IT WAS A STATE, UH, FUNDING FOR $1.9 MILLION, AND THAT FUNDED THIS ENTIRE SYSTEM.
SO, UH, THE WAY IN WHICH IT WORKS IS, UH, IF A FIRE IS SENSED, UH, BY THESE DETECTORS, UM, A, UH, SINCE THEY ARE, THEY ARE, UM, BUILT WITH, UM, RADIO COMMUNICATION.
THEY HAVE A WEATHER STATION ATTACHED TO 'EM, AND THEY ALSO HAVE THE, THE CAMERAS THAT I'D MENTIONED.
ONCE THE, UH, UM, A FIRE IS DETECTED, THE A RESPONSE WILL WILL SEND TO OUR DISPATCHING CENTER.
AND WHAT THEY'LL SEE IS THEY'LL SEE A PICTURE OF THE, UH, THERMAL SENSOR AS WELL AS A, A PICTURE OF THE FIRE.
IMMEDIATELY A DISPATCHER CAN IDENTIFY THE FACT THAT IT IS CONFIRMED, A FIRE, THEY'LL SET A RESPONSE, WHICH INCLUDES A FIRE ENGINE, AN INVESTIGATOR, AND A BATTALION CHIEF IN ROUTE.
THERE'LL BE A URL CODE THAT IS ATTACHED TO, TO OUR TABLET COMMAND, WHICH IS A, WHAT WE USE AS FAR AS THE RESPONSE CODES.
UH, THEY CAN CLICK ON THAT URL CODE, AND WHAT THEY'LL SEE IS THEY'LL SEE A LIVE PICTURE OF THE, THE, UH, FIRE, WHETHER IT'S SMALL OR BIG, AND THEY CAN DECIDE WHETHER TO RAMP UP THE CALL OR THE, OR KEEP IT AS IT IS.
THEY GET ON SCENE AND THEN THEY COULD MAKE DECISIONS AT THAT POINT.
SO THE INTENT IS, UH, RAPID IDENTIFICATION, KEEP THE FIRE SMALL, GET A RESPONSE GOING QUICKLY, AS OPPOSED TO WAITING FOR A NINE ONE ONE CALL FROM, FROM A CITIZEN OR A PASSERBY.
IT REALLY CONDENSES DOWN OUR, OUR ABILITY TO, TO, UM, KEEP THESE FIRES SMALL.
SO THE PARTNERSHIP WAS WITH, UH, L-A-D-W-P AND CBWD.
WE HAVE A 20 DETECTORS THROUGH CBWD AND, AND 10 DETECTORS THROUGH L-E-D-W-P, OR ACTUALLY IT'S BACKWARDS, IT'S 10 WITH LED, UH, CBWD AND 20 WITH L-E-D-W-P AND IT'S ON THEIR PROPERTY.
AND, UM, THAT'S THE GREAT PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH THEM.
SO THIS HAS BEEN, THIS HAS BEEN OVER YEARS AND YEARS OF, OF PROCESS, BUT IT STARTED WITH, UH, CHIEF BERETTA AND MIKE PALMER BACK LAST YEAR, AND WE IT TO YOU GUYS.
SO THAT'S OUR, THAT'S THE CONCLUSION OF OUR PRESENTATION AND WE'RE, WE CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS? YES, MR. MAYOR, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE VERY FIRST SLIDE PLEASE? OKAY.
MAYBE IT WAS THE SECOND SLIDE.
AND PROACTIVELY WHAT YOU ARE DOING, WHAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS DOING TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS, THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY, HOW YOU ARE ACTIVELY SEEKING AND ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTING ALL OF THE TECHNOLOGY THAT'S AVAILABLE, MAKING SURE YOU HAVE THE EQUIPMENT, EVERYTHING THAT'S NEEDED TO BE OUT IN FRONT, NOT WAITING, NOT WAITING TO RECEIVE THIS, WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND I JUST WANNA THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY AND THE RESIDENTS AND BEING DESIGNATED AS A FIRE RISK REDUCTION COMMUNITY AND WHAT THAT STATUS IS GOING TO DO FOR US, WHAT IT'S GOING TO DO FOR OUR RESIDENTS IN TERMS OF INSURANCE RATES.
WE KNOW WHAT INSURANCE LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW, AND I PERSONALLY WAS DROPPED AND I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS WHEN YOU ARE IN A HIGH FIRE RISK ZONE, WHICH YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IDENTIFYING THAT.
THAT WAS SOMETHING ELSE THAT WAS GIVEN TO US IN DESIGNATING OUR CITY AS A HIGH RISK FIRE AREA.
BUT NOW THAT WE ARE ACTIVELY IN THE REDUCTION PHASE IN MAKING SURE THAT OUR RESIDENTS CAN ACCESS INSURANCE, THAT WE ARE TOTALLY PREPARED FOR GRANTS AND FUNDING ONCE WE HAVE THIS STATUS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THAT.
I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF WORK WHEN YOU HAVE TO WRITE THOSE PLANS OUT AND APPLY FOR IT.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN JUST DO EASILY AND QUICKLY.
YOU MENTIONED LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER, AND OUR OWN CUCAMONGA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT WHO ARE PARTNERS IN HELPING US GET SOME OF THIS TECHNOLOGY, ESPECIALLY THE FIREBIRD TO EARLY DETECTION, AND THEN THE HELO
[00:20:01]
POT BEING THE FIRST, WHERE, WHAT'S THE CLOSEST ONE? THE FIRST IN WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, AND HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS FOR, FOR OUR COUNTY.SO I JUST WANNA SAY ON BEHALF OF THE RESIDENTS, INCLUDING ME, HOW MUCH YOU'RE ACTIVELY DOING AND WHAT THAT SAYS ABOUT OUR PREMIER FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO WORK HARD TO DO THIS ON OUR BEHALF.
SO I WANNA SAY THANK YOU AND MAKE SURE I ADDRESSED EVERY ONE OF THOSE.
ANYONE ELSE? I, I WOULD JUST, UM, JUST FOR THE AUDIENCE, UH, INFORMATION, THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS VERSUS 170,000 RESIDENTS LOOKING FOR FIRES, THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SYSTEM, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, IS WHETHER IT'S DAY OR NIGHT, IT'S GONNA DETECT AND THE DEAD OF NIGHT, A WIND SWEPT SANTA ANA WIND CONDITION ARRIVES.
A FIRE STARTS THAT DETECTOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WILL SEE IT BEFORE ANY, ANY PERSON THAT'S ALREADY SLEEPING IN BED.
IT'S WATCHING 24 7 EYES ARE THERE.
AND THE OTHER PART THAT'S REALLY, UH, EXCITING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR SYSTEM IS THAT WHEN IT DOES DETECT THAT FIRE, IT SENDS A MESSAGE OR A RIGHT TO OUR DISPATCH CENTER.
THERE IS NO TALKING BETWEEN SOMEBODY CALLING 9 1 1 AND TRYING TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT EXPLAINING WHAT THE, WHERE THE LOCATION IS.
THIS GIVES THEM ACTUALLY THE INCIDENT GOES DIRECTLY TO A DISPATCHER.
THE DISPATCHER THEN KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE TO SEND THE, THE RESOURCES TO HELP EXTINGUISH THE, THE FIRE.
THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND, AND FOR, UM, BEING ONE OF THE FINEST DEPARTMENTS THAT I'VE EVER BEEN AFFILIATED WITH.
IT'S A PLEASURE AND A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
THAT BRINGS US TO PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS.

THE TIME AND THE PLACE FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO PLACE OR TO COME SPEAK TO THE CITY COUNCIL OR FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT BOARD ON ANY ITEM LISTED OR UNLISTED ON THIS EVENING'S AGENDA.PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HOUR PRIOR TO THE BUSINESS PORTION OF OUR MEETING BEGINNING.
IT'S NOT GONNA HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE THREE SPEAKERS.
YOUR COMMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES.
UM, AND THERE'S THIS LITTLE LIGHT ON THE MICROPHONE AND THERE'S ALSO A TIMER ON THIS, ON THE SCREEN THAT YOU CAN KIND OF PACE YOURSELF WITH, UM, WHEN THAT LIGHT GOES OFF, YOU, YOU'VE REACHED YOUR THREE MINUTE TIMEFRAME, BUT I NEED TO ALSO ADDRESS THIS EVENING AS WE DID OUR LAST MEETING, AND WE'LL BE DOING IT JUST ABOUT EVERY MEETING FROM NOW ON.
THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE IN THE WAY THE PUBLIC CAN ADDRESS A CITY COUNCIL THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
AND THAT WAS THROUGH SENATE BILL NUMBER 7 0 7 OR 7 0 7.
YES, THE CITY WILL ACCEPT PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS FROM BOTH IN PERSON AND REMOTE PARTICIPANTS.
PUBLIC COMMENTS WILL BE TAKEN FIRST FROM THOSE ATTENDING IN PERSON, FOLLOWED BY THOSE PARTICIPATING REMOTELY.
ONCE ALL IN PERSON COMMENTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, THE CITY CLERK WILL ANNOUNCE THE NAMES OR TELEPHONE NUMBERS OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN REQUESTED TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT REMOTELY.
PLEASE RAISE, USE THE RAISE HAND FEATURE ON AND PRESS NINE BY PHONE AND PRESS SIX TO UNMUTE.
AND WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN TO SPEAK, A MEMBER OF THE STAFF WILL CALL YOUR NAME AND OR ANNOUNCE THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER.
SO WE HAVE THREE SPEAKERS THAT ARE HERE THIS EVENING WANTING TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL.
OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS BRITTANY DORST BOST, EXCUSE ME, FOLLOWED BY LIZ.
DID I DO THIS CORRECTLY? OKAY.
UM, THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALLOWING ME THE TIME TO SPEAK.
I'M NOT GONNA TAKE TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME, UH, PARTIALLY BECAUSE I HATE PUBLIC SPEAKING, BUT ALSO BECAUSE I PREPARED A LITTLE LETTER TO GIVE TO YOU GUYS.
SO, UM, YOU CAN READ IT ON YOUR OWN TIME, HOPEFULLY WITH AN OPEN MIND AND AN OPEN HEART.
UM, I DON'T THINK THAT I CAN EXPLAIN THE WHOLE SITUATION IN TWO TO THREE MINUTES, NOR DO I EXPECT YOU TO BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH A RESOLUTION IN SHORT.
UM, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HAVE TWO TREES REMOVED FROM THE PARKWAY OF MY HOUSE.
MY HUSBAND AND MY NEIGHBOR CAME LAST MONTH.
WE WERE CONNECTED WITH A GENTLEMAN NAMED NICHOLAS.
UM, THERE'S BEEN SOME MOVEMENT.
WE APPRECIATE THAT CONNECTION THAT YOU GUYS MADE.
HOWEVER, THE RESOLUTION IS NOT, UM, SOMETHING THAT'S FEASIBLE FOR MY FAMILY OR MY HOUSEHOLD.
SO, UM, IN THE LETTER I KIND OF GO OVER WHAT WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING AND WHAT HAS BEEN
[00:25:01]
PROPOSED TO US AND WHY THAT'S NOT AN OPTION FOR US AT THIS TIME.AND I'M HOPING THAT YOU CAN READ IT AND MAYBE HAVE A BETTER RESOLUTION TO HELP US DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE.
IF YOU WOULD PROVIDE, HAVE, HAVE YOU GIVEN THE CLERK THE LETTER.
I HAVE A IF YOU OKAY, PERFECT.
IF YOU WOULD GIVE THAT TO HER, SHE WILL MAKE SURE WE ALL RECEIVE A COPY OF IT, AS WELL AS OUR CITY EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT STAFF.
LIZ UNA, FOLLOWED BY MIGUEL ESPINOZA.
UM, FIRST OF ALL, I JUST WANNA SAY THAT, UM, WE JUST HAD THE SOUND GUYS COMING TO THE BREWERY, WHICH WAS A JOKE.
THEY APPROACH THE SECURITY, APPROACHED THE SOUND GUYS, AND I'VE NEVER HEARD IT MORE QUIET THERE.
THEY KNEW THEY WERE THERE, SO THEY WERE QUIET.
THEIR TV WAS, YOU COULDN'T, YOU COULDN'T, UM, HEAR THE TV LIKE YOU NORMALLY CAN OR THE MUSIC LOUD.
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, GUYS KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.
HAMILTON'S, UM, PEOPLE, HIS, UH, SECURITY, I DON'T KNOW IF THE MANAGER CAME UP TO THE SOUND GUY AND APPROACHED HIM AND THE GUY HAD TO SHOW HIM HIS, UM, ORDER FOR THE SOUND CHECK.
HE WASN'T EVEN ON THEIR PROPERTY.
SO A JOKE AGAIN, THE PARKING'S A JOKE.
THE PARKING PERMIT WHERE IT SAYS PARKING ONLY, UM, UP THERE ABOVE FOOTHILL, OFF OF HERMOSA THERE SAYS TOWING.
SO WHY DO THE PEONS IN THE VA? THERE'S ONLY SAYS PARK, UH, PERMIT PARKING ONLY, WHATEVER.
OKAY? UM, OFFICERS HAVE NEVER WANTED TO GO OUT THERE AND GIVE TICKETS.
THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN, UM, AGAINST IT.
THEY'VE ALWAYS GAVE GIVEN US GRIEF BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT CAR DOESN'T BELONG HERE.
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LIKE, WHATEVER.
I HAD TO CALL THE WATCH COMMANDER TO TELL HIM, YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS GUY JUST DROVE OFF.
DOES THAT GUY HAVE A CONFIDENTIAL PLATE? THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T GIVE HIM A TICKET OR WHAT'S GOING ON.
THE PARKING PERMITS ARE A JOKE.
UM, COMING HOME FROM COMING HOME FROM, UH, A WEEKEND, I WAS COMING IN THROUGH ARCHIBALD.
WHAT DO I SEE FOR, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'M BEEN URINATING, RIGHT THERE ON ARCHIBALD, ON MAIN STREET, A COMMON OCCURRENCE THAT WE'VE ALL SEEN MORE THAN ONCE, MORE THAN TWICE, MORE THAN THREE TIMES.
WE LIVE THERE SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, 24 HOUR SEVEN.
UM, SO I HONKED AT HIM BECAUSE I'M, I'M FRUSTRATED.
WE'VE BEEN LIVING THIS FOR A LONG TIME ALREADY.
UM, THE THING IS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE ENOUGH TO DECLARE THEM A PUBLIC NUISANCE.
AND WE'RE NOT A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE.
LIKE SOME PEOPLE THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE SIGN THOSE PETITIONS AND MORE WOULD'VE, BUT THEY TOLD US ONLY ONE PERSON A HOUSEHOLD COULD SIGN THOSE PETITIONS.
UM, I FEEL TRULY THAT WE'VE BEEN RAPED OF OUR CIVIL RIGHTS.
THERE'S NO QUIET, PEACEFUL ENJOYMENT OF OUR IN OUR HOMES ANYMORE.
AND THEY SHOULD BE DECLARED A PUBLIC NUISANCE.
THEY'RE OPEN, LATE, OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
WHERE'S THE INTEGRITY OF THIS COUNCIL? WHERE'S THE SENSE OF DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR THIS COUNCIL? I DON'T, I DON'T SEE IT.
AND WHO'S CHECKING THE CAPACITY? BECAUSE SOMETIMES ON CERTAIN NIGHTS IT JUST SEEMS THEY'RE OVER CAPACITY.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MIGUEL ESPINOZA.
LIKE I ALWAYS TELL YOU, I DON'T SPEAK OF ANYBODY ELSE'S EYES, EARS, IT'S ONLY WHAT I SEE AND WHAT I HEAR.
SO ON THE NIGHT OF JUNE 30TH, THE TUESDAY NIGHT, MIND YOU, I WAS GETTING GOING TO MY CAR TO GET SOMETHING.
I NOTICED SOMEONE COMING FROM THE BREWERY.
OKAY, TUESDAY THEY CLOSE AT 10.
SO HE COMES OUT, HE STANDS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME.
AND I KNOW THE STANCE, LIKE I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE, AS AN ALCOHOLIC, I KNOW THAT STANCE OF WHEN YOU'RE ON YOUR PHONE, YOU HAVE WAY TOO MUCH TO DRINK AND YOU CAN'T QUITE SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
SO I SAID, LET ME WATCH THIS GUY.
SO HE WALKS DOWN THE STREET EAST ON MAIN STREET, GOES TO THE FIRST HOUSE AND STANDS THERE UP AGAINST THE FENCE.
SO I DROVE DOWN THE CUL-DE-SAC, CAME BACK AND PARKED AND JUST WATCHED FOR A MINUTE.
AND I SAID, IF HE GETS IN THE CAR, HE'S GONNA DO SOMETHING TERRIBLE.
THEY SEND SOMEONE OVER ABOUT SEVEN MINUTES LATER.
SO THE POLICE OFFICER NOTICES HIM, STOPS HIM, THE GUY SAW THE POLICE.
SO ALL OF A SUDDEN HE STARTS, YOU KNOW, WALKING STRAIGHT.
[00:30:01]
SO THEY HAVE HIM THERE FOR, FOR A LITTLE BIT.AND I'M WONDERING LIKE, WELL, WHAT'S GOING ON? I MEAN, THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING.
SO I WALK OVER AND ASK THEM, HI, I'M THE, I'M THE CITIZEN THAT CALLED.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT HE'S OKAY.
HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE WAS IN GOOD SHAPE.
AND AS I'M WALKING AWAY, HE SAYS, OH, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, LET ME GET YOUR NAME AND NUMBER AND YOUR ADDRESS.
I'M LIKE, I'M THE ONE THAT CALLED, YOU'RE NOT STOPPING ME.
AND HE TELLS ME, WHY ARE YOU SCARED? YOU HAVE A WARRANT ME? I CALLED, I'M A LAW ABIDING CITIZEN.
SO THEN I SAID, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOU CHECKING ME OUT.
GAVE MY NAME, NUMBER, ADDRESS.
SATURDAY NIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT, I WALKED MY DOG BACK HOME.
MY MOM'S LIVES IN ANOTHER HOUSE.
AS I LEAVE MY DOG AT MY HOME, I'M WALKING BACK AND I HEAR YELLING AND SCREAMING.
I TURN AROUND, TURN WEST ON MAIN STREET.
AND THIS COUPLE, TWO, TWO MEN, TWO GUYS AND TWO GIRLS, ONE OF THEM HAS ONE OF HAMILTON SIGNS THAT HE PUTS OUT.
THANK YOU FOR THAT, MR. HAMILTON, TO LET PEOPLE KNOW NOT TO PARK ON MAIN STREET AND READ, BECAUSE IT'S PARK PERMIT PARKING.
HE'S CARRYING IT DOWN THE STREET TO DO WHAT? I DON'T KNOW.
SO I'M YELLING AT HIM, HEY, GO PUT THAT BACK.
I MEAN, WE HAVE A LOT AGAINST HAMILTON, BUT IF THAT THING IS MISSING, WE'RE THE FIRST ONES, HE'S GONNA POINT THEM FIGURING THAT TOOK IT.
SO I'M YELLING AT HIM TO PUT IT BACK, PUT IT BACK, WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH IT? SOMETHING GOT CLICKED IN HIS HEAD.
SO THOSE ARE MY TWO STORIES I WANNA SHARE WITH YOU.
I KNOW THEY'RE GONE, BUT CONGRATULATIONS TO THE COUGARS CLASS OF 96 GO COUGARS.
THAT CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC SPEAKERS THAT ARE IN ATTENDANCE.
AND MAYOR, I HAVE ONE MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC ON, UM, LINE WITH US, BUT NO RAISED HANDS, SO NO FURTHER COMMENTS.
CONSENT CALENDARS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ROUTINE AND NON-CONTROVERSIAL.
[CONSENT CALENDARS: The following Consent Calendar items are expected to be routine and noncontroversial.

Consideration of First Reading of Ordinance 1060, to be Read by Title Only and Waive Further Reading, to Make Administrative Amendments to Chapters 2.08 (City Manager), and 2.20 (Planning Commission) and Repeal Chapter 2.52 (Parks And Recreation Commission) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code. This Item is Statutorily Exempt from the Requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Under CEQA Section 15061(b)(3). (ORDINANCE NO. 1060) (CITY)]
ONE IS, UM, AMENDMENTS TO THE CHAPTER FOR THE CITY MANAGER PLANNING COMMISSION, PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION, UM, OF OUR MUSICAL CODE.UM, THIS IS MOSTLY CLEANUP LANGUAGE, UM, ADOPTING THINGS TO CONFORM WITH THE LAW OR PRACTICE.
AND I WILL PASS IT ON TO MS. NAKAMURA.
MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THE CITY PERIODICALLY REVIEWS OUR MUNICIPAL CODE TO ENSURE THAT OUR PROVISIONS REMAIN CURRENT, INTERNALLY CONSISTENT AND REFLECTIVE OF THE CITY'S OPERATIONAL PRACTICES.
SO AS ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES, ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES OR GOVERNANCE PRACTICES MAY EVOLVE OVER TIME.
CERTAIN CODE PROVISIONS OFTEN BECOME OUTDATED OR NO LONGER ALIGN WITH OUR EXISTING POLICIES.
SO THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE INCLUDES A SERIES OF ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENTS TO TITLE TWO OF THE RANCHO CUNG MUNICIPAL CODE, WHICH GOVERNS ADMINISTRATION AND PERSONNEL.
THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE REPEALS THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT FOR THE CITY MANAGER TO ALIGN OUR PROVISIONS WITH STATE LAW AS WELL AS AMENDING THE SEVERANCE TERMS TO REFER TO THE SEVERANCE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE CITY MANAGER'S EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL.
THE PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION HAS NOT BEEN AN ACTIVE COMMISSION SINCE THE CITY COUNCIL SUSPENDED THE OPERATIONS FOR TWO YEAR PERIOD, BEGINNING IN 2017 AND IN 2019, THE CITY COUNCIL TOOK FORMAL ACTION TO PERMANENTLY DISCONTINUE THE COMMISSION AND ITS RESPONSIBILITIES HAVE SINCE BEEN INCORPORATED INTO OTHER CITY ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES WITH CITY COUNCIL OVERSIGHT.
REPEALING CHAPTER 2.52 REMOVES THESE OBSOLETE PROVISIONS AND ALIGNS THE CODE WITH ACTIONS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN BY THE COUNCIL.
FINALLY, SEVERAL AMENDMENTS ARE PROPOSED TO MODERNIZE AND CLARIFY THE ADMINISTRATION SECTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
THE ORDINANCE UPDATES APPOINTMENT PROCEDURES BY FORMALLY RECOGNIZING THE CITY COUNCIL'S COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUBCOMMITTEE'S ROLE IN REVIEWING AND RECOMMENDING APPLICANTS PRIOR TO CITY COUNCIL APPOINTMENT, IT ALSO ADDS TEXT ESTABLISHING THE PROCESS FOR COMMISSIONER STIPENDS, WHICH ARE TO BE SET BY CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION.

IN ADDITION, THE ORDINANCE, UH, DESIGNATES THE PLANNING DIRECTOR AS SECRETARY TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, CODIFYING AN EXISTING ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITY.
AND LAST, THE ORDINANCE ADDS PROVISIONS FOR TERMS AND PROCEDURES FOR ELECTIONS OF THE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR OF THE COMMISSION.
[00:40:01]
I SHOULD NOTE THAT THE LAST TIME THAT THIS CHAPTER WAS UPDATED WAS 1980.UM, COLLECTIVELY THESE AMENDMENTS ALTOGETHER IMPROVED THE CLARITY ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE CODE BY REMOVING SOME OF THESE OUTDATED PROVISIONS, UPDATING OUR CURRENT ADMINISTRATIVE PRACTICES AND PROVIDING FLEXIBILITY FOR FUTURE ACTIONS.
THESE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS DO NOT SUBSTANTIALLY ALTER CITY POLICIES OR THE AUTHORITY OF THE COUNCIL PLANNING.
COMMISSIONER, CITY MANAGER WITH THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE COUNCIL CONDUCT FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE 10 60 TO BE READ BY TITLE ONLY TO MAKE ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES TO TITLE TWO, RELATING TO THE CITY MANAGER, PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION.
THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S REPORT.
PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW, UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, SEEING NONE, UM, WE'LL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THERE ANY MEMBERS THAT ARE IN ATTENDANCE THIS EVENING THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS A COUNCIL ON THIS MATTER? SEEING NONE, I'LL TURN TO OUR CITY CLERK ABOUT ANY REMOTE PARTICIPATION.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY BY THOSE PRESENT AND OUR PUBLIC ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARINGS.
MADAM CITY MANAGER ITEM G ONE.
[ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARINGS ITEM(S) - CITY/FIRE DISTRICT]
CONTINUE WITH SOME CODE AMENDMENTS.[G1. Public Hearing to Consider First Reading of Ordinance No. 1059, to be Read by Title Only and Waive Further Reading, Amending Chapters 17.04 (Administrative Responsibility), 17.14 (General Application Processing Procedures), 17.16 (Planning Director Decisions), 17.20 (Planning Commission Decisions), 17.64 (Parking and Loading Standards), and 17.96 (Mobile Homes) of the Municipal Code to Update Public Hearing Noticing Requirements, add a Requirement for Neighborhood Meetings for Certain Projects, and Sunset the Design Review Committee; and Delete Chapter 19.04 (Grading Standards) of the Municipal Code to Delete References to the Previously Terminated Grading Review Committee. This Item is Exempt from the Requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Section 15061(b)(3). (ORDINANCE NO. 1059) (CITY)]
OUR DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER.UM, UH, THANK YOU, UH, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE OF THE COUNCIL.
UM, UH, THIS CODE AMENDMENT WAS, UM, DIRECTED, UH, WITH THROUGH SOME ACTION WITH YOU.
UH, WE'LL PROVIDE A LITTLE BACKGROUND.
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS HAVE LONG BEEN A KEY COMPONENT OF THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS, PROVIDING RESIDENTS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT PROJECTS, ASK QUESTIONS, AND ENGAGE DIRECTLY WITH THE DEVELOPERS BEFORE PUBLIC HEARINGS.
ALTHOUGH APPLICANTS HAVE HISTORICALLY COMPLIED WITH STAFF'S REQUEST TO CONDUCT NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, THE PRACTICE HAS BEEN BASED ON A LONG STANDING POLICY RATHER THAN A CODIFIED REQUIREMENT.
AS A RESULT, APPLICANTS HAVE HAD, HAVE RETAINED THE ABILITY TO FOREGO NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH.
FOLLOWING RECENT PUBLIC CONCERN REGARDING THE ABSENCE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING, UH, FOR A RECENTLY APPROVED PROJECT, THE CITY COUNCIL DIRECTED STAFF TO AMEND THE DEVELOPMENT CODE TO FORMALLY ESTABLISH THIS AS A REQUIREMENT, ENSURING A CONSISTENT AND TRANSPARENT PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS FOR FUTURE PROJECTS.
AS PART OF THE NEW REQUIREMENT FOR A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING CONSIDERATION WAS GIVEN TO THE OVERALL NUMBER OF PUBLIC MEETINGS REQUIRED FOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.
THE PERMIT STREAMLINING ACT LIMITS LOCAL AGENCIES TO A MAXIMUM OF FIVE HEARINGS FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.
AS A DESIGNATED PRO HOUSING COMMUNITY, THE CITY HAS COMMITTED TO FURTHER STREAMLINING THIS PROCESS BY LIMITING PROJECTS TO NO MORE THAN THREE HEARINGS, WHEREVER FEASIBLE, REQUIRING A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING IN ADDITION TO THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE, PLANNING COMMISSION, AND WHEN APPLICABLE CITY COUNCIL REVIEW WOULD EXCEED THAT OBJECTIVE.
UM, FURTHERMORE, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS HAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED THE NEED FOR THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE.
UH, FOR DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE REVIEW, A STATE LAW HAS INCREASINGLY, INCREASINGLY LIMITED DISCRETIONARY DESIGN REVIEW IN FAVOR OF OBJECTIVE STANDARDS.
THE CITY COUNCIL DIRECTED STAFF TO REPLACE THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE REVIEW WITH REQUIRED NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS FOR PROJECTS WITHIN TWANDA HEIGHTS.
IN LIGHT OF THESE CONCERNS, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS EXTENDING THIS SAME APPROACH CITYWIDE TO PROVIDE MORE EFFICIENT REVIEW PROCESSES WHILE STRENGTHENING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.
IN CARRYING OUT THE COUNCIL'S DIRECTIONS, STAFF FURTHER EVALUATED THE CITY'S BROADER PUBLIC NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT.
AND THIS PRESENTED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STAFF TO REVIEW AND UPDATED RELATED PROVISIONS OF THE CODE TO IMPROVE CLARITY, CONSISTENCY, AND TRANSPARENCY IN THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS.
CURRENTLY, THE DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIRES
[00:45:01]
TWO, ONE OF TWO TYPES OF SIGNS ON, UH, PRO FOR PROJECTS EITHER FOR PUB THAT REQUIRE PUBLIC HEARING LARGE FOUR BY EIGHT, NO, UH, FOOT PROJECT NOTIFICATION SIGNS IS SEEN HERE, UM, OR SMALLER 11 BY 17 INCH PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES AND BOTH MUST BE POSTED AT LEAST 10 DAYS PRIOR TO A HEARING.THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS WILL EXPAND THE USE OF THE LARGER FOUR BY EIGHT PROJECT NOTIFICATION SIGNS, SO THEY WILL BE APPLIED THAT WILL THAT APPLY.
THAT REQUIREMENT WILL BE APPLIED TO MORE PROJECTS CITYWIDE TO PROVIDE BETTER TRANSPARENCY FOR RESIDENTS, UM, TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHICH PROJECTS, UM, WILL BE, UH, COMING FORWARD.
UM, THE EVENTS ALSO REVISE THE STANDARDS GOVERNING SIGN PLACEMENT BY REMOVING THOSE STRICT PRESCRIPTIVE REQUIREMENT FOR SCIENCE TO BE INSTALLED EVERY 300 FEET OF STREET FRONTAGE.
INSTEAD, STAFF WILL HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE NUMBER AND LOCATION OF SIGNS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL SITE CHARACTERISTICS TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE HIGHLY VISIBLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC.
THESE CHANGES ARE INTENDED TO APPROVE THE, IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROJECT NOTICING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ALLOWING GREATER FLEXIBILITY TO ACCOMMODATE VARYING PROJECT SITES.
FINALLY, STAFF IS PROPOSING A HOUSEKEEPING AMENDMENT TO DELETE CHAPTER 19.04 IN ITS ENTIRETY.
THIS CHAPTER ESTABLISHED THE FORMER GRADING REVIEW COMMITTEE, WHICH WAS ELIMINATED FROM THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS, UH, IN JULY OF 2014.
HOWEVER, THE CHAPTER ITSELF WAS INADVERTENTLY LEFT IN THE MUNICIPAL CODE.
AND SO THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT REMOVES THIS OBSOLETE CHAPTER AND CONTINUES TO ALIGN THE CODE WITH OUR CURRENT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCEDURES.
ON JULY 22ND OF THIS YEAR, THE PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERED THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS AT A DULY NOTICED.
PUBLIC HEARING COMMISSION DISCUSSION FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON THE PROPOSED ELIMINATION OF THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE, INCLUDING THE BENEFITS OF STREAMLINING THE REVIEW PROCESS AND THE COMMITTEE'S INVOLVING ROLE, EVOLVING ROLE UNDER STATE LAWS THAT REQUIRE OBJECTIVE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS SPECIFICALLY FOR HOUSING PROJECTS.
UM, STAFF IN THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE DID CLARIFY AT THAT HEARING FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO REVIEW PROJECT DESIGN DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS AND THEY RETAIN THE AUTHORITY TO DISCUSS DESIGN RELATED ISSUES AND IMPOSE APPROPRIATE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WHEN NEEDED.
SO FOLLOWING THAT DISCUSSION, THE COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.
WITH THAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONDUCT FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE 10 59 TO BE READ BY TITLE ONLY TO AMEND THE MUNICIPAL CODE AND MAKE FINDINGS OF EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.
THAT CONCLUDES STAFF PRESENTATION.
ANY QUESTIONS OF OUR PLANNING DIRECTOR BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? SEEING NONE, PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.
ARE THERE ANY MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC HERE THIS EVENING THAT WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER? SEEING NONE, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND ASK THE CITY CLERK ONCE AGAIN ABOUT ANY PARTICIPATION FROM REMOTE FOR OUR REMOTE PARTICIPANTS, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND AT THIS TIME OR PRESS STAR NINE BY PHONE AND STAR SIX TO UNMUTE YOURSELF.
SEEING NO HANDS MAYOR, NO PUBLIC COMMENT REMOTE.
ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL? JUST HAVE A BRIEF COMMENT.
UM, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR CARRYING OUT OUR CITY COUNCIL'S DIRECTIONS.
I THINK IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT.
TRANSPARENCY AS WE SEE I SAW LAST TIME WAS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US AND AS WELL AS TO THE COMMUNITY.
SO I'M REALLY GLAD, ALTHOUGH THE OTHER SIDE MAY NOT BE AS HAPPY, BUT JUST TO HAVE THOSE PUBLIC, UM, MEETINGS TO ALLOW THE COMMUNITY HEAR WHAT IS GOING ON, BUT ALSO GET ENGAGED AND MAYBE MAKE SURE THAT THE PROJECT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT BOTH THE COMMUNITY AND THE DEVELOPER, UH, MAYBE NOT AGREE ON, BUT CAN WORK TOGETHER, I THINK IS GREAT.
UM, APPRECIATE THE SIGNS YOU'RE STILL GONNA HAVE THOSE PEOPLE THAT SAID, I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.
I WASN'T AWARE OF IT, BUT I FEEL COMFORTABLE KNOWING THAT WE'RE CHANGING SOMETHING HERE THAT ALLOWS MORE PEOPLE MORE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.
I HAVE A BRIEF ONE, MR. MAYOR.
UM, I THINK TRANSPARENCY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD HERE AS PART OF THIS, UH, THIS ORDINANCE SPECIFICALLY.
AND I THINK MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF IT IS THIS WAS DRIVEN BY THE PUBLIC.
THIS IS WHAT PUBLIC COMMENTERS, THIS IS WHAT OUR COMMUNITY BROUGHT TO US AND SAID THEY WANTED.
AND SO I'M REALLY HERE, UH, GLAD THAT WE'RE HERE, ABLE TO DELIVER THIS THING, UM, IN THE FORM OF HAVING, UH, PUBLIC MEETINGS IN THE HAVE FORM OF HAVING MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR SIGNAGE SO PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE INPUT.
SO I'M, I'M REALLY GLAD THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER QUICKLY THAT REFLECTS, UM, THE DESIRES OF OUR COMMUNITY.
AND I'D JUST LIKE TO SHARE WITH OUR COMMUNITY THAT LIKE ALL OF THESE THINGS AND IDEAS THAT YOU BRING TO US, UM, CAN GET IMPLEMENTED AND THEY'RE THOUGHTFUL AND WE APPRECIATE THAT, THAT INPUT THAT YOU GIVE US.
[00:50:01]
OKAY, NOW WE WILL MOVE TO APPROVE THIS PARTICULAR ORDINANCE AND THAT ORDINANCE IS NUMBER 10 59 AND IT'S TO BE READ BY TITLE ONLY AND WAIVE FURTHER READING.ORDINANCE NUMBER 10 59, AN ORDINANCE TO THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCA, CALIFORNIA APPROVING DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT DRC 2026 DASH 0 0 2 2 8.

THE ITEM PRESENTED BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS FOR THE ARROW COMMERCE CENTER WITH THE PROJECT NUMBER REFERENCE FOR YOU, THE, EXCUSE ME, THE APPLICANT BT C3 ARROW ROUTE, UM, HAS SUBMITTED A PROJECT AND A REQUEST FOR DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF FIVE AND NEW AND INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS TOTALING 1,775,098 SQUARE FEET IN THE NEO INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT AND THE INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYMENT ZONE.
THE PROJECT IS LOCATED AT 1 2 4 5 1 ARROW ROUTE AND PER THE SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE THE HIGHLIGHT INDICATES WHERE THE SITE IS LOCATED, WHICH IS A LONG ARROW ROUTE.
UH, THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY, UH, ABUTS THE METROLINK RAILWAY AND IT IS EAST OF THE 15 FREEWAY AND JUST WEST OF TWANDA AVENUE FOR THE COUNCIL AND THE AUDIENCE'S REFERENCE.
THE APPLICANT, UH, HAS SUBMITTED A PROPOSED PROJECT TO INCLUDE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO INCREASE THE CERTAINTY AND PROVIDE ASSURANCES IN THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR THE PROJECT.
A MASTER PLAN TO ALLOW FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WAREHOUSE FACILITY IN EXCESS OF 75,000 SQUARE FEET AND A DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP TO SUBDIVIDE THE 94.25 ACRE SITE INTO FIVE NEW PARCELS AND DEVELOP IT WITH FIVE NEW INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS.
AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THE PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES A, AN ALTERNATIVE, UH, SITE PLAN.
AND THAT PLAN, AS YOU CAN SEE PER THE SLIDE, WOULD, UH, IT PROPOSES TO ELIMINATE BUILDING TWO AND REPLACE WITH ADDITIONAL, UH, AUTOMOBILE PARKING.
BUILDING TWO IS AT THE CENTER, UH, BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS AT THE TOP OF THE, UH, SITE AND, UH, REDUCE THE OVERALL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF BUILDING FIVE, WHICH IS TOWARDS THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF THE SLIDE.
UM, AND THE WESTERN PORTION OF THAT SITE, UH, FOUR BUILDING FIVE WOULD BE CONVERTED TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL TRAILER PARKING, UH, FOR THAT PROJECT SITE.
AS MENTIONED, UH, THE PROJECT PROPOSES A MASTER PLAN, UH, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR DEVIATIONS IN CERTAIN DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND THOSE DEVIATIONS, UH, WITH FOR EXAMPLE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO REDUCTION IN SETBACK REQUIREMENTS THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR LARGER CONNECTOR STREETS IN THE AREA, REDUCE LANDSCAPING SETBACKS, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR BETTER ROADWAY NETWORK AND DEVIATIONS IN BLOCK AND NETWORK STANDARDS, WHICH WILL MAINTAIN A CONSISTENT BUILDING SIZE DESIGN LAYOUT THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT AREA.
AS MENTIONED, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT INCLUDES, BUT IS ALSO NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING MAJOR TERMS AS SUMMARIZED BELOW.
THE TERM OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WOULD BE INITIALLY FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF APPROVAL AND WOULD CONTINUE FOR SIX CONSECUTIVE CALENDAR YEARS.
IT WOULD REQUIRE THAT THE DEVELOPER PAY A FAIR SHAPE, FAIR SHARE PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS, A PUBLIC ART FEE, AND A
[00:55:01]
COMMUNITY BENEFIT PAYMENT.AND ALSO THAT THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO DEDICATE A 3.3 ACRE PARCEL OF LAND FOR A NEW SUBSTATION PARCEL AND TO CONTRIBUTE A SUM AMOUNT FOR THE COST AND CONSTRUCTION OF THAT NEW SUBSTATION.
THE PROJECT PROPOSES A MODERN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN USING MULTIPLE GRAY PAINT TONES, UH, VISION GLASS AND SPANEL GLASS THAT WILL PROVIDE A MODERN AESTHETIC OFFICES AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES WILL BE LOCATED AT ONE OR MORE OF THE CORNERS OF THE BUILDINGS AND THE DESIGN MEETS THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS FOR THE CITY.
PURSUANT TO STATE SQA GUIDELINES AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT HAS BEEN PREPARED FOR THIS PROJECT.
THE EIR FOUND THAT UPON IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MITIGATION MEASURES, THERE ARE TWO SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS.
THOSE ARE RELATING TO AIR QUALITY, WHICH IS DUE TO SHORT-TERM CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY AND TRANSPORTATION, WHICH IS THE VMT WOULD RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN VMT PER SERVICE POPULATION WITHIN A 30 MILE BOUNDARY OF THE PROJECT SITE.
AT THE JULY 8TH, 2026 MEETING, THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARD THE ITEM.
THERE WERE TWO INQUIRIES, ONE REGARDING AREA CIRCULATION AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS, AND THE OTHER WAS ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNICAL STUDIES AND ANALYSIS OF THE ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT'S.

STATE YOUR NAME AND FOR THE RECORD PLEASE.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
MY NAME IS CARLOS PALAFOX, UH, PRINCIPAL WITH, UH, MARK LOGISTICS IN THE, UH, US DEVELOPMENT, UH, LOGISTICS DEVELOPMENT.
AND I AM HERE TONIGHT REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT, BT C3 ARROW, ROUTE CCLP.
FIRST, I WANT TO EXPRESS OUR SINCERE GRATITUDE TO STAFF AND TO EVERYONE WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE DESIGN, PLANNING AND PROCESSING OF THIS PROJECT.
THE EVOLUTION OF THIS PROJECT AND THE OUTCOME TO DATE IS A TESTAMENT TO THE EXTENSIVE COLLABORATION BETWEEN ALL STAKEHOLDERS.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE YEARS AND HUNDREDS OF HOURS, AND WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO BE AT THIS MILESTONE PRESENTING THIS PROJECT TO YOU TONIGHT.
IN ADDITION TO STAFF'S PRESENTATION, I WILL BE SHARING THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WITH YOU TODAY, WHO WE ARE AS A DEVELOPER, SPECIFICS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT AND CONCLUDING WITH COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS.
MARK LOGISTICS IS A LONG-TERM INVESTOR AND DEVELOPER FOCUSED ON HIGH QUALITY INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE ACROSS NORTH AMERICA, EUROPE, AND ASIA.
WHILE WE ARE LUCKY TO BENEFIT FROM A PLATFORM WHERE WE CAN LEVERAGE AT A GLOBAL SCALE, WE TAKE PRIDE IN THE FACT THAT WE HAVE LOCAL PRESENCE AND LOCAL EXPERTISE IN, IN AREAS WHERE WE INVEST AND DEVELOP.
AND AS LONG-TERM INVESTORS, WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE COMMUNITIES WHERE WE INVEST.
OUR APPROACH IS NOT A BUILD AND EXIT MODEL, BUT RATHER TO CREATE HIGH QUALITY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTS THAT INTEGRATE WELL INTO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.
I THINK, UH, ONE, ONE STEP BACK.
OUR EXPERIENCE ENCOMPASSES COMPLETION OR CURRENT DEVELOPMENT OF MORE THAN 180 PROPERTIES, UH, INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS NATIONWIDE, INCLUDING 43 IN CALIFORNIA, 23 OF WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE
[01:00:01]
INLAND EMPIRE.AND IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT FOUR PROPERTIES IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA, INCLUDING THE PROJECT BEING PRESENTED TO YOU TONIGHT, AS WELL AS THE BUILDING ACROSS ARROW ROUTE WHERE, UH, THROUGH GREAT SUPPORT FROM CITY STAFF, WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE IN A VALUABLE MEDICAL SUPPLIES TENANT INTO, UH, INTO THE BUILDING AFTER JUST A FEW MONTHS OF BEING VACATED.
THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE SOUTHEAST INDUSTRIAL QUADRANT SURROUNDED BY EXISTING INDUSTRIAL USES AND LARGE SCALE UTILITY FACILITIES.
THIS SITE WAS HOME TO THE FORMER STEEL FABRICATION COMPANY CMC, AND AFTER THEY MOVED OUTTA STATE SOLVING FOR AN OPTIMAL DEVELOPMENT, UH, REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE ENTAILED AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, A LARGE COLLABORATIVE EFFORT.
WE ARE CONCURRENTLY PROCESSING ENTITLEMENTS FOR AN ADJACENT PROJECT SOUTH OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS WHERE THE FORMER GENON POWER PLANT WAS OPERATING, WHICH INDIVIDUALLY AND HOLISTICALLY THESE TWO PROJECTS WILL BE GREAT EXAMPLES OF ADAPTIVE REUSE AND MODERNIZATION, TAKING A SITE THAT WAS VACATED AND REPOSITIONING IT FOR FUTURE ECONOMIC PRODUCTIVITY.
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE, MR. KURT CORY HAS DONE A GREAT JOB OF COVERING THE SITE PLAN AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES.
SO I WILL BE VERY BRIEF IN POINTING OUT SOME HIGHLIGHTS.
UH, THE PROJECT, UH, INCLUDES FIVE PARCELS, UH, WITHIN A NETWORK OF SIX NEW PUBLIC STREETS, UH, FIVE BUILDINGS, AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, TOTALING CLOSE TO 1.8 MILLION SQUARE FEET, UH, AUTO AND TRUCK PARKING ABOVE, ABOVE, UH, REQUIRED CODE ALONG WITH BICYCLE PARKING.
THE PROJECT'S ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN FEATURES INCLUDE BUILDING SIZE DIVERSITY, PARTICULARLY PAYING ATTENTION TO PLACEMENT OF SMALLER BUILDINGS ALONG ARROW ROUTE HIGH-END FINISHES WITH DELIBERATE ARCHITECTURAL ARTICULATION AND MATERIAL DIFFERENTIATION, ENHANCED CORNERS AND SIGNIFICANT VISUAL DETAILING TO REDUCE PERCEIVED SCALE, AS WELL AS SCREENED TRUCK COURTYARDS THROUGHOUT.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY IMPLEMENTATION FOLLOWS INITIATIVES AND VALUES THAT HAVE BEEN CREATED AT OUR CORPORATE LEVEL AND ARE BEING INTEGRATED INTO OUR PROJECTS THROUGH A LEAD VOLUME PROGRAM THAT OUR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT TEAM HAS IMPLEMENTED FOR ALL OUR PROJECTS.
SPECIFICALLY HERE WE ARE TARGETING LEAD SILVER CERTIFICATION AND IN ADDITION TO ENERGY EFFICIENT FEATURES, RENEWABLE ENERGY THROUGH SOLAR PHOTO VOL TECH WILL BE A COMPONENT WHERE WE ARE WORKING IN TANDEM WITH OUR CMU TO PROVIDE RENEWABLE ENERGY BACK TO THE GRID WHILE MAINTAINING A PORTION OF IT FOR ONSITE CONSUMPTION.
THE PROJECT WILL DELIVER TANGIBLE PUBLIC BENEFITS THROUGH FEES AND CONTRIBUTIONS, INCLUDING MORE THAN 26 MILLION IN DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES INCLUSIVE OF 12 MILLION TOWARDS HOUSING, AFFORDABLE, AN ADDITIONAL 4.8 MILLION CONTRIBUTION IN COMMUNITY AND PUBLIC ART FEE.
UH, THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE INTEGRATION OF THE ADJACENT PROJECTS SOUTH OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS, WE ARE CONTRIBUTING A THREE ACRE PARCEL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW ELECTRICAL SUBSTATION, AS WELL AS SUBSTANTIAL FUNDS TO COVER A PORTION OF THE OF, OF SUCH, UH, SUBSTATION.
THIS SUBSTATION PROJECT WILL NOT ONLY BENEFIT OUR PROJECT, BUT WILL ALSO BENEFIT THE LARGER RCMU POWER GRID.
THE PROJECT WILL GENERATE CONSTRUCTION JOBS, WHICH, DEPENDING ON CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCING, CAN RANGE FROM A HUNDRED TO 300 DAILY WORKERS THROUGH LEASING AND PROCUREMENT OF NEW TENANTS AND DIVERSE BUSINESSES.
THIS PROJECT WILL RESO RESULT IN CREATING LONG-TERM EMPLOYMENT AT FULL PROJECT BUILD OUT, ESTIMATED TO BE MORE THAN 1100 EMPLOYEES PER SHIFT.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THIS PROJECT AS WELL AS OF OUR BUSINESS MODEL, IS OUR COMMITMENT TO PARTNER WITH LOCAL LABOR ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH SOME HAVE ACCOMPANIED US TONIGHT.
NEXT, BEFORE I CLOSE, I WOULD LIKE TO REEMPHASIZE THE EXTENT OF COLLABORATION THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE THROUGHOUT, WHICH STARTED WITH OUR PARTICIPATION AND SUPPORT OF THE CITY'S PROCESS IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT AND, AND UPDATING OF KEY LAND USE DOCUMENTS SUCH AS THE ORDINANCE 9 82 AND THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE, WHICH HAVE SINCE SERVED AS A PLATFORM FOR STRUCTURED DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECTS LIKE OURS.
WE STOOD HERE NEARLY FIVE YEARS AGO IN SUPPORT OF THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATES AND ARE EXCITED TO BE STANDING HERE AGAIN BEFORE I HAND OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE WHO WILL ALSO PROVIDE BRIEF CLOSING REMARKS.
I WANT TO THANK CITY STAFF AGAIN
[01:05:01]
AND ALL VARIOUS CONSULTANTS FOR THEIR DILIGENCE AND PROFESSIONALISM.AND THANK YOU MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, UH, FOR YOUR TIME, YOUR CONSIDERATION, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THIS PROJECT TONIGHT.
FOR RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MICHAEL, MAYOR PRO.
TIM KENNEDY, COUNCIL MEMBER SCOTT, COUNCIL MEMBER HUTCHINSON.
I'M CO-HEAD OF DEVELOPMENT FOR MARK LOGISTICS, KIRK AND, UH, CARLOS REDDY DID A GREAT JOB RUNNING THROUGH THE SPECIFICS OF THE PROJECT.
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA IS NOT A NEW MARKET TO US.
WE'VE BEEN INVESTING IN DEVELOPING HERE FOR WELL OVER A DECADE, AND THROUGHOUT ALL THOSE YEARS, WE'VE ALWAYS APPROACHED THE CITY AS A LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP.
CARLOS ALREADY ALLUDED TO A RECENT EXAMPLE OF THAT WHERE YOU CAN LOOK DIRECTLY NORTH ACROSS FROM OUR PROPOSED PROJECT ACROSS ARROW, WHERE WE DEVELOPED AN APPROXIMATE 600,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING BACK IN 2018.
AND THEN WITH THE CITY'S ASSISTANCE, WE WERE ABLE TO QUICKLY REOCCUPY THAT WITH B BRAUN, WHO'S A GLOBALLY RECOGNIZED MEDICAL AND TECHNOLOGY AND HEALTHCARE COMPANY.
GOING BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST INDUSTRIAL AREA, OUR, OUR INVOLVEMENT WITH THAT PREDATES THIS PROJECT AS WELL.
CARLOS ALREADY MENTIONED IT, IT'S GOING BACK TO 2020 WHEN WE WERE UNDER CONTRACT ON THE GEN ON SITE.
WE'RE WORKING ALONGSIDE THE CITY AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS THROUGH THE INITIAL PLANNING FOR THE AREA, AND THAT INCLUDED ULTIMATELY THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 9 82 AND THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE, LIKE CARLOS MENTIONED, CERTAINLY FEELS, UH, LIKE IT'S COME FULL CIRCLE STANDING HERE TONIGHT.
CARLOS MENTIONED STANDING HERE NEARLY FIVE YEARS AGO, AND I JUST CAN'T TELL YOU HOW EXCITED WE ARE TO BE STANDING HERE AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP GUIDE A PROJECT WITH A PROUD INDUSTRIAL HISTORY THROUGH THE NEXT GENERATION OF INVESTMENT, EMPLOYMENT, AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS LEO PADILLA, FOLLOWED BY AMY SMITH.
YOU, YOU'RE ALL GONNA SPEAK EVENING.
GOOD EVENING, UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
MY NAME'S LEO PADILLA, 43 YEAR RESIDENT OF RANCH CUCAMONGA, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, UH, PROUD PROFESSIONAL UNION CARPENTER AND AN INSTRUCTOR FOR THE WESTERN STATE REGIONAL COUNCIL OF CARPENTERS.
I AM PLEASED TO EXPRESS OUR STRONG SUPPORT FOR THE A ARROW ROUTE COMMERCE CENTER PROJECT.
THIS PROJECT REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN THE CITY'S FUTURE.
THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL GENERATE SUBSTANTIAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, BOTH DURING CONSTRUCTION AND THROUGHOUT ONGOING OPERATIONS.
PROJECTS OF THIS SCALE PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN SUSTAINING MIDDLE CLASS JOBS AND STRENGTHENING THE LOCAL WORKFORCE.
THE HIGH QUALITY DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, INCLUDING SOLAR ENERGY, UH, INTEGRATION, EV INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THE COMMITMENT TO USE RESPONSIBLE CONTRACTORS DEMONSTRATES A THOUGHTFUL AND FORWARD-LOOKING APPROACH THAT ALIGNS WITH COMMUNITY, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS.
PROJECTS LIKE THIS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SKILLED UNION LABOR ACROSS MULTIPLE TRADES WITH FAMILY SUPPORTING WAGES, SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS, AND A CAREER PATHWAY FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS.
THEREFORE, WE RESPECTFULLY URGE YOU TO APPROVE THE PROJECT AND SUPPORT CONTINUED INVESTMENTS IN RESPONSIBLE JOB GENERATING DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS CITY.
I'M AN INSTRUCTOR OF A SKILLED AND TRAINED WORKFORCE.
THERE'S A LOT OF MEMBERS LIKE MYSELF GROWING UP IN THIS, IN THIS CITY WHERE I GOT, I'M A THIRD GENERATION UNION WORKER, SECOND GENERATION UNION CARPENTER.
I GREW UP NOT SEEING MY DAD IN THE MORNING AND GOING TO BED BEFORE HE GOT HOME.
WHY? BECAUSE HE SPENT NUMEROUS HOURS ON THE FREEWAY, GOING TO MAKE MONEY IN LA AS A CONSTRUCTION WORKER FOR THE UNION.
THERE'S MEMBERS THAT MISS OUT ON THEIR KIDS' OPPORTUNITIES, SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, SPORTING EVENTS, AND I, I RESENTED MY DAD FOR A LONG TIME 'CAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND AND NOT REALLY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WAS NO OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK OUT HERE TO MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL LIVING, TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT A FAMILY OUT HERE.
SO PROJECTS LIKE THESE BRING MEMBERS LIKE MYSELF, OTHERS AROUND ME THAT GET, GET TO BE ABLE TO BE WITH THEIR FAMILY, BE INVOLVED WITH THEIR COMMUNITY, AND HAVE, HAVE, UH, AN INVESTMENT BACK IN RANCH
[01:10:01]

WE'VE ALREADY HEARD MULTIPLE STORIES ABOUT THEIR LONG-TERM COMMITMENTS.
UH, DEVELOP AND RUN, YOU KNOW, AND, AND HAVE THE COMMUNITY POSSIBLY SUFFER FROM THE RAMIFICATIONS.
THIS IS A DEVELOPER THAT IS DEVOTED TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO GROWTH.
UM, AND THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE A POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE COMMUNITY.
WE'RE TAKING A VACANT INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY AND TRANSFORMING IT INTO SOMETHING THAT THE SURROUNDING AREA IS GOING TO BE MODERN AND ATTRACTIVE.
IT'S GOING TO BE A NEW SPACE FOR INDUSTRIAL GROWTH.
AND WE CAN SEE FROM THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN, IN DIFS TO THE CREATION OF THE NEW PUBLIC STREETS, THE ARTS COMMITMENTS.
THIS IS SETTING A PRECEDENT FOR WHAT RANCHO CUCAMONGA SHOULD BE ASKING FROM EACH DEVELOPMENT TEAM MOVING FORWARD.
THIS IS, YOU KNOW, A BAR THAT SHOULD ALWAYS JUST KIND OF BE THERE AND JUST KEEP ESCALATING, KEEP GOING UP, UM, BECAUSE OF THIS AND SO MUCH MORE, WE SUPPORT THIS PROJECT AND THINK THAT YOU SHOULD TOO TONIGHT.
LOUIS LOPEZ, FOLLOWED BY KELLY HANSON.
COUNCIL MEMBERS, STAFF, COMMUNITY.
I'M A BUSINESS AGENT FOR THE IRON WORKERS LOCAL 4 33.
I KIND OF SMILE EVERY TIME I COME IN HERE BECAUSE, UH, THIS WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF MY, SEC WAS MY SECOND JOB WHEN WE BROUGHT THIS, UH, CITY HALL UP TO, UH, EARTHQUAKE CODE SOME YEARS BACK.

BUT, UH, I ALSO LOVE VISITING THIS, UH, THIS CITY BECAUSE OF HOW YOU GUYS HONOR THE VETERANS, UM, WITH THE, WITH THE BANNERS UP AND DOWN, UH, VARIOUS STREETS.

UM, AND ALL OF US TRADES BACK HERE HAVE, UH, HAVE, UM, UH, GEEZ, I'M LOST NOW, UH, WITH HELMETS OF HARD HATS.
SO WE HAVE, UM, DIRECT ENTRY, UH, FOR OUR MEN AND WOMEN THAT ARE COMING BACK FROM SERVING THEIR COUNTRY PROUDLY.

KELLY HANSON, FOLLOWED BY DREW VALDIVIA.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I'M 17 YEARS OLD AND I GO TO ALOMA HIGH SCHOOL.
FIRST, I WANNA THANK YOU ALL FOR ALLOWING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT AND TO BE INVOLVED IN A LOCAL ISSUE THAT AFFECTS THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY.
[01:15:01]
I'M STILL A STUDENT, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT DECISIONS LIKE THIS HELP SHAPE THE KIND OF COMMUNITY MY GENERATION WILL GROW UP AND WORK IN AND HOPEFULLY CONTINUE TO BE A PART OF.I'VE GROWN UP HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.
THIS IS WHERE I'VE GONE TO SCHOOL, WHERE MY FRIENDS ARE, AND WHERE I'M STARTING TO THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT WHAT COMES AFTER GRADUATION.
I'M HERE TONIGHT IN SUPPORT OF ITEM G TWO, THE BTC ARROW ROOT PROJECT BECAUSE I BELIEVE PROJECTS LIKE THIS CAN CREATE REAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY, INCLUDING YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE ME.
AS I GET CLOSER TO FINISHING HIGH SCHOOL, I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT DIFFERENT CAREER PATHS.
ONE OF THE PATHS I'M INTERESTED IN IS GETTING INTO AN APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM AND LEARNING A SKILLED TRADE.
TO ME, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CHANCE TO DO MEANINGFUL WORK, RECEIVE HANDS-ON TRAINING, EARN WHILE, LEARN, AND BUILD A FUTURE WITHOUT HAVING TO LEAVE THE COMMUNITY I GREW UP IN.
THIS IS WHY COMMUNITY WORKFORCE AGREEMENT CONNECTED TO THIS PROJECT MATTERS.
IT SHOWS THAT THIS PROJECT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT CONSTRUCTING BUILDINGS, BUT IT'S ALSO ABOUT CREATING PATHWAYS FOR LOCAL WORKERS, APPRENTICESHIP MEN, AND PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST STARTING OUT.
PLEASE PROVIDE PATHWAYS FOR APPRENTICE OPPORTUNITIES HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
I UNDERSTAND THAT I MAY NOT BE GRADUATED BEFORE THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETED, AND I MAY NOT PERSONALLY HAVE THE CHANCE TO WORK ON IT, BUT I STILL SUPPORT WHAT IT REPRESENTS.
PROJECTS LIKE THIS SHOW STUDENTS THAT THERE ARE REAL CAREERS AVAILABLE IN SKILLED TRADES THAT ARE CITY VALUES OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORKING PEOPLE.
RANCHO CUCAMONGA SHOULD BE A PLACE WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE CAN GO TO SCHOOL, GRADUATE, TRAIN WORK, AND BUILD A LIFE CLOSE TO HOME.
FOR THOSE REASONS, I RESPECTFULLY ASK THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO SUPPORT ITEM G TWO AND MOVE THIS PROJECT FORWARD.
THANK YOU, DREW VALDIVIA, THIS IS A CITY COUNCIL MEETING, BUT PLANNING COMMISSION DID APPROVE IT ALREADY.
I'M THE ORGANIZER WITH, UH, UA LOCAL 3 98, THE PLUMBERS AND PIPETTERS UNION.
UH, I REPRESENT A MEMBERSHIP OF, UH, A THOUSAND MEMBERS.
UH, I STAND IN STRONG SUPPORT OF THE AERO COMMERCE CENTER PROJECT.
UH, I, I HAVE TO SAY, THIS IS THE EXACTLY THE KIND OF PROJECT OUR MEMBERS NEED.
IT WILL GENERATE CONSTRUCTION JOBS FOR LOCAL SKILLED TRADE WORKERS, PLUMBERS, PIPERS, IRON WORKERS, AND OTHERS WHO LIVE IN AND AROUND RANCH CUCAMONGA.
UH, AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE ALREADY HEARD FROM OUR UNION BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO WOULD POTENTIALLY BE ON THIS JOB.
UM, THEY SPOKE ABOUT CAREER PATHWAYS TRAINING AND THE CHANCE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES TO ENTER THE TRADES WITH REAL WAGES AND REAL BENEFITS.
UH, THAT IS WHAT THIS PROJECT DELIVERS FOR MANY OF THESE WORKERS.
THERE IS MORE THAN JUST A JOB.
IT IS THE BEGINNING OF A LIFELONG CAREER IN THE SKILLED TRADES, THE KIND OF STUDY WORK THAT LETS SOMEONE START SAVING REAL MONEY, UH, WORKING TOWARDS A HOME AND FEEL SECURE ENOUGH TO, YOU KNOW, EVEN START A FAMILY, UH, LOCAL UNITY EIGHT.
AND OUR PARTNERS IN THE BUILDING TRADES URGE YOU TO APPROVE THIS, APPROVE THIS PROJECT.
UM, LET'S PUT OUR MEMBERS TO WORK, RIGHT? THANK YOU.
MR. MAYOR, I HAD SOMETHING WRITTEN OUT THAT I WAS GONNA READ ON TONIGHT.
UM, BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WANNA ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THIS PROJECT.
UM, NOT ONLY DOES IT BRING LIVABLE WAGES AND ALSO PUT, UH, OUR UNION MEMBERS TO WORK ALL OF OUR UNION MEMBERS, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE YOUNG LADY THAT JUST CAME UP HERE AND SPOKE, SHE IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO TEACH OUR YOUNGER GENERATIONS THAT YOU CAN EARN LIVABLE WAGES, A PENSION, MEDICAL BENEFITS, AND MORTGAGE PAYING JOBS WITH THESE, YOU'LL ALSO USE THIS, BUT WE'RE GIVING OUR YOUNGER GENERATIONS THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THEIR EYES AND USE THEIR BRAINS IN OTHER ASPECTS OTHER THAN SITTING BEHIND THE BOOK.
SO I ASK YOU GUYS TO PLEASE ANONYMOUSLY VOTE FOR UNANIMOUS, UNANIMOUS, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY,
IT'S, UH, IT'S GIVING PATHWAYS TO OUR FUTURE, AND THIS IS WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE ONE MORE SPEAKER, THOMAS RUIZ.
[01:20:09]
GOOD EVENING MAYOR.IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT, AND ESPECIALLY TO SEE YOU GUYS ALL SMILING UP THERE, RIGHT? WE'RE GONNA GET READY TO MAKE THIS PROJECT, UH, GO FORWARD.
AND THAT YOUNG LADY KILLED IT.
I, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU, UH, FOLLOW UP ON THAT, BUT MY NAME IS THOMAS RE I'M A REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE LABORS INTERNATIONAL UNION OF NORTH AMERICA, AND WE'RE HERE TO SUPPORT THE ORDINANCE 10 58 AND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, A PROJECT OF THIS SIZE, UH, IS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT INTO THE, THE CITY OF RANCHO.
UM, IF WE DON'T HAVE PROJECTS OF THIS SIZE AND THIS TYPE OF DEVELOP TYPE OF DEVELOPMENTS, WE CAN'T PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES AND THOSE OPPORTUNITIES GO FAR.
UH, IT'S NOT THE YOUNG LADY THAT'S SITTING IN THIS ROOM LOOKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET INTO A TRADE, TO LEARN A SKILL THAT SHE CAN USE FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE, OR SOME OF THE FOLKS THAT ARE JUST GETTING INTO THE TRADE THAT, UH, UH, ARE BUILDING, BUILDING THEIR APPRENTICESHIP, TRYING TO GET THE HOURS THAT THEY NEEDED IN ORDER TO BE, UH, A JOURNEY PERSON OR THE FOLKS THAT ARE WORKING ON THEIR LAST COUPLE YEARS THAT ARE STANDING UP BEHIND ME RIGHT NOW THAT PROBABLY GOT ANOTHER SIX MONTHS LEFT BEFORE THEY ARE ABLE TO OFFICIALLY RETIRE.
BUT THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT.
AND IT DOESN'T COME JUST BY, UH, WITHOUT COMMITMENT AND THE COMMITMENT FROM, UH, THE DEVELOPER TO ACTUALLY EMPLOY OUR MEMBERS, EMPLOY THOSE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
EVERY SINGLE ONE, UH, THAT OUR MEMBERS THAT LIVE IN RANCH OR THE SURROUNDING AREAS ARE IN FULL SUPPORT OF PROJECTS LIKE THIS.
BECAUSE, LIKE OUR OTHER BROTHER THAT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT THAT SAID, HEY, YOU, YOU DON'T SEE YOUR PARENTS COME, UH, HOME, THEY LEAVE, LEAVE EARLY IN THE MORNING, AND THEY, THEY COME HOME LATE AT NIGHT.
AND WE WANT TO CREATE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR MEMBERS THAT CAN THRIVE IN THEIR COMMUNITY AND, AND SUPPORT THEIR FAMILY, NOT ONLY FINANCIALLY, BUT EMOTIONALLY, AND BE THERE FOR THEIR KIDS TO ENJOY THEIR SOCCER GAMES OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF THINGS.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE MISSING IS, UH, THE FA FAMILY DYNAMIC, RIGHT? AND SO, UH, YOU'RE DOING MORE THAN JUST CREATING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR WORK, BUT YOU'RE CREATING, UH, A COMMUNITY AND WE FULLY, UH, HOPE THAT YOU SUPPORT THIS PROJECT AND MOVE FORWARD.
THANK YOU FOR THE, ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTFUL, UH, COMMENTS THIS EVENING REGARDING THIS PROJECT.
MADAM CLERK, IS THERE ANYONE ONLINE FOR THE SPEAKERS ONLINE? PLEASE USE THE RAISE HAND FEATURE OR PRESS STAR NINE BY PHONE AND PRESS STAR SIX TO UNMUTE YOURSELF AT THIS TIME.
SEEING NO HANDS RAISED, NO FURTHER COMMENTS, MAYOR.
WE WILL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND, AND I WILL THEN TURN IT BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY COMMENTS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
NO, NO QUESTIONS, BUT JUST A COMMENT.
THANK YOU FOR THOSE THAT SPOKE THIS EVENING.
UM, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME FOR THIS PROJECT.
I'VE BEEN HEARING IT FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
AND YOU'RE RIGHT, THERE'S A LOT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, NOT JUST FOR THE CITY, BUT THE FOLKS THAT LIVE HERE TOO.
I'M GLAD THAT AS THE APPLICANT, THAT YOU ARE LOOKING, UH, YOU ARE USING LOCAL WORKFORCE.
IT'S IMPORTANT, UM, TO THE GENTLEMAN WHO SPOKE ABOUT NOT SEEING HIS FATHER, I WAS ONE OF THOSE, MY DAD COMMUTED TO ORANGE COUNTY.
HE LEFT BEFORE I WOKE UP AND WAS HOME AFTER I WENT TO BED.
SO I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS AND DIFFICULT IT IS, BUT ALSO UNDERSTOOD WHAT HE WAS DOING.
SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS, UH, PROJECT, BRINGING LOCAL JOBS, AND HOPEFULLY WE HAVE FAMILIES THAT BENEFIT AND GET TO SEE THEIR FOLKS, UH, AT DINNER TIME.
SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND THAT CAME TONIGHT.
AND, UH, IT IS, I THINK, A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.
I'D LIKE TO SHARE THE ATTRIBUTES THAT I FEEL THIS PROJECT HAS.
SECOND, UTILIZING A HIGHLY SKILLED WORKFORCE.
THIRD, CAREER PATHWAYS AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS AS WELL AS OUR VETERANS.
FOUR, THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE DEVELOPER BEING WILLING TO PARTNER WITH THE COMMUNITY AND GIVE BACK AND INVEST IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THIS PROJECT, AS MENTIONED BY CARLOS AT THE BEGINNING, IS RECOGNIZED AS AN ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY PROJECT, AS NOTED BY THE LEAD CERTIFICATION, WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST RECOGNIZED ORGANIZATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY GREEN PROJECTS.
SO FOR THOSE REASONS AS WELL AS THE ONES MENTIONED, I WILL SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.
COUNCILMAN HUTCHINSON? YES, MR. MAYOR.
UM, COULD WE PUT THE APPLICANT'S SLIDESHOW BACK UP SPECIFICALLY TO THE PUBLIC BENEFIT PAGE? AND THEN IN THE MEANTIME,
[01:25:01]
A QUICK QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.MR. STAN SANFORD, COULD YOU COME FORWARD REAL QUICK AND JUST ANSWER A QUESTION FOR ME IS, WAS IT THE GEN ON SITE YEARS AGO THAT YOU GUYS ACTUALLY INVITED SOME OF US OUT TO WATCH DEMOLITION OF AN EXISTING BUILDING WITH DYNAMITE? THAT WAS COUNCIL MEMBER? YES, IT WAS, UH, BACK IN, I THINK SPRING OF 22.
UM, THAT KIND OF FRAMES THIS FOR ME AS HOW LONG THAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT.
UH, 'CAUSE IT DOES FEEL LIKE QUITE A LONG TIME AGO IN LOOKING AT THIS PUBLIC BENEFITS AND COMMUNITY INVESTMENT.
UH, I JUST WANTED TO SHARE FROM OUR COUNCIL, WE UNDERSTAND THAT A LOT OF THOSE THINGS ARE ECONOMIC SACRIFICES THAT YOU GUYS HAVE MADE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THIS PROJECT AND THE BETTERMENT OF THIS COMMUNITY.
AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT EXCEEDINGLY MEANINGFUL AND WE RECOGNIZE THOSE INCREDIBLY BIG NUMBERS AND RECOGNIZE HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU ARE GONNA BE ABLE TO HELP OUT, NOT JUST THROUGH BUILDING THIS BUILDING, BUT MAKING THAT EXTRA DONATION TO REALLY FORTIFY OUR COMMUNITY AND, AND DO A LOT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW INCREDIBLY THANKFUL I AM FOR THAT.
UM, ALSO AS WE TALK ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING LATE NIGHTS, SEEING, UH, THE CARPENTERS OUT HERE TONIGHT, UH, THE IRON WORKERS, UH, THOMAS WITH UNA, UH, THANK YOU FOR DEDICATING EXTRA HOURS AFTER WORK TO COME SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THIS PROJECT AND, AND GIVE US THE CONFIDENCE THAT, THAT WE'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM OUR COMMUNITY ABOUT HOW IT'S A REALLY GOOD THING.
AND FOR JULIE HANSEN, UH, YOU REALLY DROVE, DROVE THAT HOME.
UH, JUST JUST A COUPLE BRIEF COMMENTS.
I'M NOT GONNA REPEAT WHAT ALREADY HAS BEEN STATED, BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION, UH, FIRST, AND THAT IS I'VE BEEN DOWN TO SOME OTHER CITIES, UM, AS I TRAVEL THROUGH, DOWN IN CHINO SPECIFICALLY, I REMEMBER, UH, ONTARIO, ANOTHER ONE THAT I REMEMBER.
AND ON THIS PROJECT, THEY'RE SAYING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL THEIR TRUCK PARKING ON SITE.
SO THERE WILL NO BE, THERE WILL NOT BE ANY QUEUING ON ARROW HIGHWAY OR OTHER CITY STREETS.
IS THAT MY UNDERSTANDING? THAT IS CORRECT.
UH, THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN PROPOSED WITH THE STANDARDS THAT WERE IN ORDINANCE 9 82.
UM, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ALSO DID THROUGH THE MASTER PLAN WAS REQUIRE AN EXTENSIVE STREET NETWORK IN THE SOUTHEAST INDUSTRIAL QUADRANT OF THE CITY.
WE HAVE LIMITED EAST, WEST, AND NORTH SOUTH STREETS.
AND SO AS PART OF THIS, WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER, WE CAME UP WITH THE ABILITY TO HAVE AN ENHANCED STREET NETWORK THERE, UM, TRUCK PARKING ON SITE FLEXIBILITY AND ALTERNATIVE STANDARDS SO THAT DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF USER THAT THEY END UP BRINGING IN, THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO MODIFY THE BUILDINGS ACCORDINGLY TO PROVIDE, ADD, UH, ADDITIONAL TRUCK PARKING, AS WELL AS, UM, REDUCING LANDSCAPE SETBACKS IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE STREET NETWORK THAT, UM, THE CITY REALLY DESIRED IN THAT AREA.
AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR, FOR TAKING THAT INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY DOES CAUSE SOME, SOME REAL EXTRA PROBLEMS THAT SHOULD NOT BE AROUND.
SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING IN THAT REGARD.
AND ALSO, I WILL JUST SAY THAT, UM, IN MANY COMMUNITIES YOU SEE A LOT OF OPPOSITION TO, TO, UM, WAREHOUSES AND, UM, THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR SUCH A, SUCH AN APPLICATION OF WAREHOUSES RIGHT DOWN IN THE CENTER OF OUR INDUSTRIAL AREA.
UM, I MUST SAY THAT, THAT, UM, I, I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT 'CAUSE I RE I REMEMBER YEARS AND YEARS AGO WHEN IT WAS TAMCO STEEL AND A STEEL PLANT THAT HAD TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, UM, EMISSIONS OF NOT SUCH GOOD AIR, GOOD CLEAN AIR COMING OUT OF THE PROJECT.
AND THEN GENON PUT IN, I DON'T KNOW, SEVERAL TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO A NEW FILTERING SYSTEM, DIDN'T SPEND THAT LONG BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO CLOSE THEIR PLANT.
BUT, UM, WHAT A, WHAT A WONDERFUL, WHAT A WONDERFUL JOB OF REDEVELOPMENT ON AN OLD SITE THAT WAS KIND OF AN EYESORE INTO THIS BEAUTIFUL PROJECT THAT YOU'VE PROPOSED.
SO, UM, WITH THAT, I WILL ASK FOR, UM, A MOTION.
ORDINANCE NUMBER 1 0 5 8, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA APPROVING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT DRC 2023 DASH 0 0 4 0 8, BETWEEN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND BT C3 ARROW ROOT CCLP, TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF FIVE NEW BUILDINGS TOTALING APPROXIMATELY 1,775,098 SQUARE FEET ON AN APPROXIMATE 94.25 ACRE PROJECT SITE APNS 0 2 2 9 21 DASH THREE THREE DASH THREE FOUR AND THREE FIVE AND 0 2 2 9 DASH
[01:30:01]
1 3 1 DASH 19 DASH 40, BOUNDED BY ARROW ROUTE TO THE NORTH BNSF METROLINK RAILWAY TO THE SOUTH AND YELLOWWOOD ROAD, JUNE BURY DRIVE AND INDUSTRIAL LAND USES TO THE EAST AND WEST, MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF AND MAKING FINDINGS PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD, AS PART OF THAT MOTION, THERE'S ANOTHER RESOLUTION AND THERE'S SOME OTHER ITEMS THAT WOULD BE A PART OF THAT, THAT APPROVAL THAT'S, THAT'S HERE IN THE NOTES ABOUT, UH, THE OTHER APPROVALS ARE NECESSARY, DEALING WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND SO FORTH.
MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY BY THOSE PRESENT.
YOU KNOW, WE ALSO HAVE, ARE YOU, WE HAVE A CITY.
YOU HAVE A CITY COUNCIL HERE THAT HAS GREAT CONFIDENCE IN THEIR PLANNING, IN OUR PLANNING COMMISSION.
THEY DO THE, THE HARD WORK BEFORE IT EVEN GETS TO US.
SO KUDOS TO OUR STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION.
THERE ARE NO ITEMS FOR CITY MANAGER STAFF REPORTS, BUT WE HAVE I THINK A COUPLE OF, SIR, WE'VE GOT ONE MORE PUBLIC HERE.
I THINK I FLIPPED TO A PAGE EARLY.
YOU WANNA PUT THAT ON FOR NEXT MEETING? SURE THING.
ITEM G THREE, MADAM CITY MANAGER.
WE HAVE ONE LAST PUBLIC HEARING THIS EVENING.
UM, AND THIS IS, UM, THIS IS BRINGING FORWARD A AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S STATEMENT OF GOALS AND POLICIES REGARDING THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS.
UM, I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE OUR ENGINEERING DIRECTOR, JASON WELLE, AND OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR, DEVIN, AND THEY WILL PROVIDE THIS REPORT.
UM, AND, UH, THANK YOU MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
UH, I DID, UH, TELL MY BOSS THAT I HAD 45 MINUTES OF NOTES AND HE SAID I DID NOT HAVE THAT MUCH TIME.
SO, UM, BEFORE, UH, BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, UH, WE ARE, UH, PRESENTING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY TO JOIN, UH, THE STATEWIDE COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM OR SKIP.
UM, ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE'RE BRINGING THIS TO YOU TONIGHT IS A PRINCIPLE THAT'S BEEN FOUNDATIONAL FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE CITY, WHICH IS THE DEVELOPMENT PAYS ITS OWN WAY.
AND THAT HAS BEEN, UH, UH, BROUGHT ABOUT THROUGH VARIOUS, UH, MECHANISMS OVER THE YEARS, INCLUDING DEVELOPMENT, IMPACT, FEES, UH, CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS, UH, THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR PROJECTS, UM, AND AS WELL AS THE USE OF SPECIAL DISTRICTS SUCH AS CFDS ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS.
AS WAS NOTED EARLIER TODAY, UH, TO, UH, COVER THE COST OF, UM, SERVICES.
ONE OF THE, UH, MECHANISMS THAT WE HAVE, UH, UNDER STATE LAW TO HELP, UH, WITH, UH, FINANCING SOME OF THOSE THINGS SUCH AS, UH, PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, OUR CFDS AND ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS.
UM, WE HAVE AS A CITY, UH, TRADITIONALLY, UH, LIMITED THE USE OF THOSE DISTRICTS, ESPECIALLY FOR ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE SIDE TO ACTUAL BUILDING OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND FUNDING AND FINANCING THAT, UH, STATE LAW DOES ALLOW THE USE OF THESE DISTRICTS ALSO FOR, UH, FINANCING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES, WHICH ARE THEN USED TO BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE, PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.
UM, TRADITIONALLY WE HAVE NOT, UH, ALLOWED THAT, UH, IT HASN'T BEEN PERMITTED IN OUR POLICY, BUT IN JANUARY OF 2025, UH, THE COUNCIL AMENDED THE POLICY TO PERMIT THAT OPTION.
UH, GIVEN CHANGES IN THE DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT, UH, CHANGES IN THE NEED FOR, UH, MEETING STATEWIDE GOALS AND, AND SUCH.
UH, THE OPPORTUNITY TO FINANCE, UH, DIFFS, AS WE CALL 'EM, UH, UNDER SPECIAL DISTRICTS, UH, IS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT IS NOW THERE.
OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, STAFF HAS RECEIVED, UH, A NUMBER OF REQUESTS FROM DEVELOPERS TO GO AHEAD AND PURSUE THIS OPTION.
UM, AND SO THAT FORCED US TO GO AND LOOK AT OUR PROCEDURES AND POLICIES AND, AND HOW WOULD WE ACCOMPLISH THAT.
AND WE, WE DETERMINED THAT, UH, IT WOULD BE VERY INEFFICIENT FOR THE CITY TO GO AND CREATE A SPECIAL DISTRICT FOR EVERY SINGLE TIME THIS HAPPENS.
AND SO WE, WE DID SOME RESEARCH AND WE CAME ACROSS THE SKIP PROGRAM.
AND, UH, SO YOU MIGHT ASK WHAT IS WHO? WELL, WHAT IS SKIP? AND WHO IS C-S-D-C-D-A? UH, C-S-C-D-A IS THE STATE CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY.
[01:35:01]
A JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY SPONSORED BY CAL CITIES AND THE CSAC, THE CALIFORNIA STATE ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES.IT'S GOT ABOUT 500 MEMBERS OR MORE, UH, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, CITIES, COUNTIES, SCHOOL DISTRICTS, OTHER, UM, UH, DISTRICTS.
AND THEY HAVE A PROGRAM CALLED SKIP, WHICH IS THE STATEWIDE COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM.
WHAT SKIP DOES IS IT ALLOWS, UM, DEVELOPERS WHO APPLY TO THE PROGRAM TO HAVE THEIR, UH, EXPENSES, UH, FOR EITHER INFRASTRUCTURE OR, UH, FEES, UM, FINANCED THROUGH A POOLED FINANCING MODEL.
UM, AND WHILE THE FINANCING IS POOLED, EACH DEVELOPMENT STILL IS ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE, THE FUNDS THAT THEY RECEIVE OUTTA THE PROGRAM.
SO THERE WOULD BE NO CROSSOVER BETWEEN DEVELOPMENTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
UM, ONE OF THE BENEFITS, UH, TO THE DEVELOPERS AS WELL AS TO THE CITY, IS THAT C-S-C-D-A SERVICES THE PROGRAM.
SO FOR, FOR, UH, DISTRICTS THAT ARE CREATED, UH, THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, C-S-C-D-A WOULD, WOULD HANDLE IT.
THEY WOULD PROCESS IT, THEY WOULD ESTABLISH THE DISTRICT, THEY WOULD PUT THE, THE ASSESSMENTS ON THE TAX BILLS, THEY WOULD DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS, UH, THAT
[G3. Public Hearing of the City of Rancho Cucamonga to Consider an Amendment to the City of Rancho Cucamonga Statement of Goals and Policies for the Use of Community Facilities Districts and Assessment Districts; a Resolution to Join the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program, Finding an Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Under Section 15061(B)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, and Authorizing Related Actions. (RESOLUTION NO. 2026-081) (CITY)]
STAFF WOULD NORMALLY HAVE TO DO, UM, ON A MUCH GREATER BASIS.THEY'VE GOT A STREAMLINED PROCESS FOR THAT.
SO HOW WILL IT WORK AND WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE? SO ESSENTIALLY, UH, THE RESOLUTION YOU HAVE BEFORE, YOU WOULD, UH, HAVE THE CITY JOIN THE SKIP PROGRAM, UM, AS A MEMBER.
AND THE POLICY WOULD BASICALLY STREAMLINE THOSE OR DIRECT THOSE, UH, REQUESTS THAT WERE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE OR DEVELOPMENT, IMPACT FEE FINANCING TO C-S-C-D-A AS THE MECHANISM TO, TO UTILIZE THAT.
UM, BUT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THE REQUESTS ARE BEING PROCESSED IN A WAY THAT STILL MEET OUR, OUR CITY, LOCAL, STATE, CITY NEEDS.
AND SO THE DEVELOPER WOULD STILL PUT A REQUEST IN TO THE CITY TO GO AHEAD AND UTILIZE THIS, THIS MECHANISM.
UH, CITY STAFF WOULD THEN REVIEW THE REQUEST BASED ON ALL THE DETAILS IN A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS THAT THEY WOULD CREATE OR THAT THEY WOULD GENERATE.
AND IF IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE POLICY, NAMELY THINGS LIKE GREATER PUBLIC BENEFIT, THE MAXIMUM TAX BURDEN ON THE, ON THE RESIDENTS, UH, THE FUTURE HOMEOWNERS, THEN THE CITY WOULD, UH, CONSENT TO THE APPLICATION MOVING FORWARD TO C-S-C-D-A.
C-S-C-D-A WOULD THEN RECEIVE THE APPLICATION WORK WITH CITY STAFF TO GET THE DETAILS THEY NEED TO ESTABLISH THE, THE PROGRAM, UH, THE FINANCING PROGRAM.
AND THEN THEY WOULD TAKE IT THE REST OF THE WAY.
THEY WOULD TAKE IT THROUGH THE ESTABLISHMENT, THROUGH THE REST OF THE, THE PROJECT.
UH, THE CITY WOULD STILL MONITOR CERTAIN THINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT FEES WERE PAID WHEN THEY NEED TO BE PAID, CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL ARE MET, THAT SORT OF THING.
AND THEN, UH, ONCE THE PROJECT'S DONE ACCEPTED AND EVERYTHING'S CHECKED OFF, THEN IT WOULD BE, UH, CONTINUED TO BE CS CDAS, UH, SERVICING OF IT.
SO WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? UH, IT PROVIDES AN ADDITIONAL FINANCING MECHANISM, UH, FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND DIFF FUNDS, UH, NOR OR DIFF FEES.
NORMALLY THESE THINGS WOULD BE, UH, FINANCED THROUGH OTHER, OTHER LENDING ME MECHANISMS OR OTHER OTHER PROCESSES, UH, THE DEVELOPERS WOULD NEED FOR THEIR FINANCIAL PROFORMA.
UH, IT LOWERS THE THRESHOLD FOR ACCESS TO TAX EXEMPT BONDS.
A LOT OF TIMES THESE PROJECTS, IF THEY'RE GONNA FI, UH, FINANCE FEES OR SMALLER INFRASTRUCTURE, DO NOT HAVE, UH, ENOUGH COST TO FINANCE EFFICIENTLY.
AND SO THIS GETS ACCESS, GETS DEVELOPERS ACCESS TO THAT.
UH, IT'S ONLY, UH, THE APPLICATIONS WOULD ONLY BE, UH, PROCESSED AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEVELOPER.
SO THERE'S NOTHING THAT THE CITY WOULD FORCE ON THE ON, ON A PROPERTY OWNER.
UM, AS I MENTIONED, IT'S ESTABLISHED AND ADMINISTERED BY C-S-C-D-A AND IT'S AN ADDITIONAL TOOLKIT TO MEET OUR STATEWIDE, UH, ARENA REQUIREMENTS.
SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO ADOPT THE AMENDED AND RESTATED GOALS AND POLICIES, UH, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AS REQUIRED BY THE PROGRAM, UH, TO CONSIDER THE SKIP MEMBERSHIP AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 2026 DASH EIGHT ONE TO JOIN SKIP.
AND WITH THAT, WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS OF STAFF BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SEEING NONE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.
ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC DESIRING TO SPEAK, SEEING NONE, WE WILL ASK THE CITY CLERK FOR THOSE ONLINE.
PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND AT THIS TIME OR PRESS STAR NINE BY PHONE AND PRESS STAR SIX TO UNMUTE YOURSELF.
MAYOR C NO HANDS RAISED, NO FURTHER COMMENT.
OKAY, WE'LL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
ANY, MR. MAYOR? I THINK WE MAY HAVE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT.
[01:40:06]
I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM.HOPEFULLY, COULD YOU, UH, SUPPORT IT? PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR ME, FOR US.
AND I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM YOU'RE PUTTING IN PLACE.
UH, AS YOU MENTIONED, CHINO HILLS OR CHINO, YOU WERE DOWN THERE.
UM, THEY USE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS, UM, DIFFERENT FUNDING MECHANISMS TO HELP THE DEVELOPERS.
AND I THINK, UH, WITH THIS AS A STAFF, IT'LL BE A SUCCESS HERE IN THE RANCHO.
ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS? SEEING NONE, WE WILL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM, FROM THE COUNCIL MEMBERS? YES, MR. MAYOR, JUST ONE.
JASON, YOU STARTED OUT BY MAKING A STATEMENT THAT WE BELIEVE HERE IN RANCHO THAT DEVELOPMENT SHOULD PAY ITS OWN WAY.
AND AS I MENTIONED WITH OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, I WANNA THANK YOU FOR BEING PROACTIVE, GOING OUT AND ACTIVELY SEEKING MECHANISMS, TOOLS, RESOURCES THAT WILL BENEFIT OUR RESIDENTS, BUT ALSO ENHANCE AND PROTECT OUR BUDGET.
SO I WANNA THANK YOU FOR THAT.
I, I WOULD JUST, UH, ALSO, JUST, JUST LOOKING BACK AT ALL OF THIS, IF A DEVELOPER HAS TO PUT IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE, THAT INFRASTRUCTURE THEN GOES OR, OR IT GOES INTO THE COST OF THE HOME THAT THEY'RE BUILDING MM-HMM
EVENTUALLY THE HOMEOWNERS THAT, THAT, THAT ARE PART OF THAT ASSESSMENT FOR CFD, THEY END UP PAYING FOR IT, BUT THEY PAY FOR IT OVER TIME.
BUT THEY GOT A HOUSE A WHOLE LOT LESS IN COST.
TYPICALLY IT'S BUILT INTO THE COST OF THE HOUSE.
SO IF THAT, IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE FINANCED UP FRONT IN A DIFFERENT MECHANISM, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO, UH, POTENTIALLY HAVE A LOWER COST TO THAT.
