excellent. Thank you very much. With there being no announcements or

00:01:18,685 --> 00:01:22,515
presentations today, we will now move on to public communications. This

20
00:01:22,805 --> 00:01:26,685
is the time and place for the general public to address the fire board, housing successor agency,

21
00:01:27,115 --> 00:01:31,005
successor agency, public financing authority board, and city council. On any

22
00:01:31,165 --> 00:01:34,965
item listed or unlisted on the agenda, comments are to be limited

23
00:01:35,225 --> 00:01:39,165
to three minutes per individual. The public comment period will not exceed

24
00:01:39,465 --> 00:01:42,565
one hour to the commencement of the business portion of this evening's meeting

25
00:01:43,625 --> 00:01:47,425
tonight, we have three speakers and

26
00:01:47,795 --> 00:01:51,045
your comment time concludes in three minutes. The first that we have

27
00:01:53,105 --> 00:01:55,765
is catherine kathy carrigan, if you

28
00:01:57,315 --> 00:02:01,215
please come micro done this before. Is it right up here? Come right up to the microphone here

29
00:02:01,435 --> 00:02:05,375
and then you'll see a little light turn on the microphone. And you also have a timer up on the

30
00:02:05,575 --> 00:02:08,365
screen. We'll let you know when you're three minutes up. Ah,

31
00:02:10,335 --> 00:02:14,185
okay. Uh, good evening. Council, uh, members. My name is

32
00:02:14,345 --> 00:02:18,225
kathy kerrigan. My husband and I have lived in the general area for 49 years.

33
00:02:19,005 --> 00:02:22,785
we have lived in our current home in the aloma portion of rancho cucamonga for 31

34
00:02:23,265 --> 00:02:27,065
years. We worked very hard to acquire our home at, and at that time

35
00:02:27,285 --> 00:02:30,995
we probably bit off more than we could chew, but we wanted our children to be in the aloma

36
00:02:31,345 --> 00:02:34,605
school district. We live in a wonderful neighborhood. Um,

37
00:02:35,685 --> 00:02:39,505
we want it to stay that way. I think most people who live in aloma feel

38
00:02:39,705 --> 00:02:43,505
the same. The situation with the tents popping up

39
00:02:43,725 --> 00:02:47,585
along the two 10 corridor is unacceptable. A few months ago,

40
00:02:47,825 --> 00:02:51,765
it was only one tent. Now there are more. Even if a few

41
00:02:51,885 --> 00:02:55,365
of these unhoused people are decent human beings who have encountered hard times,

42
00:02:56,425 --> 00:03:00,365
the fact that they're setting up tents will, will bring an influx of not so decent

43
00:03:00,525 --> 00:03:04,125
humans into the area. I don't want to be afraid to go to my local markets.

44
00:03:05,165 --> 00:03:09,085
I don't want to be afraid to feel unsafe. Uh, taking my 2-year-old granddaughter

45
00:03:09,665 --> 00:03:13,645
to the park, I shouldn't have to feel unsafe when out and about that I'm starting to,

46
00:03:14,585 --> 00:03:18,485
as leaders of our city, you all need to take steps to eliminate this

47
00:03:18,685 --> 00:03:22,645
problem. Right now when we drive a fair distance away and see tent cities

48
00:03:22,885 --> 00:03:26,725
that have formed in other areas, I'm sure as few as five

49
00:03:26,925 --> 00:03:30,545
years ago, those areas also started with just one tent. Please

50
00:03:30,965 --> 00:03:34,805
take steps now to alleviate this growing problem. Thank you for your time

51
00:03:35,915 --> 00:03:39,735
very much. This is regarding the homeless enc accountants. Thank you for your comments. I'm an early riser,

52
00:03:40,085 --> 00:03:43,905
so I'm going to dismiss myself. Okay, thank you. Thank you for coming this evening. Uh,

53
00:03:44,125 --> 00:03:45,895
number two is wendy lopez.

54
00:04:03,435 --> 00:04:07,195
you may begin when you're ready. Okay. Good evening. My name is wendy lopez and I'm

55
00:04:07,535 --> 00:04:11,535
speaking tonight as a concerned resident of aloma. Please note that the views I

56
00:04:11,655 --> 00:04:15,335
express are my own and those of my fellow residents and do not represent those of my

57
00:04:15,695 --> 00:04:19,375
employer or professional affiliations. I am following up on concerns

58
00:04:19,775 --> 00:04:22,395
that were discussed during a meeting with the city officials on may 5th, 2025.

59
00:04:24,415 --> 00:04:27,965
regardless the regarding the homeless encampments located along the two 10 east

60
00:04:28,635 --> 00:04:32,225
and west freeways between archibald and sapphire. While

61
00:04:32,695 --> 00:04:36,215
I appreciated the opportunity to express my concerns during our meeting

62
00:04:36,715 --> 00:04:40,655
and did not feel dismissed, I am disappointed to report that there has been no

63
00:04:40,855 --> 00:04:44,455
follow up or visible action taken since that time. As advised,

64
00:04:45,205 --> 00:04:49,175
several residents reached out to state senators, but we have yet to receive

65
00:04:49,515 --> 00:04:53,295
any responses. Additionally, the encampments

66
00:04:53,895 --> 00:04:57,655
located behind fort of upland and an issue we discussed have reportedly

67
00:04:58,115 --> 00:05:01,965
not been addressed. Flood control was contacted last week and a service request

68
00:05:02,515 --> 00:05:06,495
was submitted. The responding representative stated that they were unaware of the

69
00:05:06,655 --> 00:05:09,695
encampments in that area, but assured us that the matter would be addressed.

70
00:05:10,685 --> 00:05:14,055
this lack of communication and coordination among the various departments,

71
00:05:14,735 --> 00:05:18,675
including rancho cucamonga, city officials, chp, rancho

72
00:05:19,095 --> 00:05:22,935
cucamonga police department, and flood control is deeply concerning. There appears

73
00:05:23,335 --> 00:05:27,055
to be a significant disconnect, and as residents, we are left feeling

74
00:05:27,375 --> 00:05:30,935
unsupported and unsafe in our neighborhood. We have requested increased

75
00:05:31,645 --> 00:05:35,215
patrols north of the two 10 freeway, yet we have not seen any measurable

76
00:05:35,695 --> 00:05:39,655
improvement. The persistent presence of homeless encampments continues to contribute

77
00:05:40,095 --> 00:05:43,455
to a general sense of insecurity. Residents are increasingly uncomfortable

78
00:05:44,135 --> 00:05:47,995
walking in the area, and it is disheartening to feel as though these issues are not being given the

79
00:05:48,215 --> 00:05:52,055
urgent attention they require. We are asking for clear, decisive

80
00:05:52,615 --> 00:05:56,525
action. Encampments need to be removed and once cleared, ongoing patrols

81
00:05:57,045 --> 00:06:01,025
and enforcement must be implemented to prevent the return. If

82
00:06:01,345 --> 00:06:04,815
it is known that individuals return after being removed, then continuous

83
00:06:05,485 --> 00:06:09,405
monitoring should be an expected part of the solution. We also recognize

84
00:06:09,645 --> 00:06:13,275
that the hope team has had limited success in this area, largely, largely

85
00:06:13,765 --> 00:06:17,365
because assistance is often declined by the individuals in question, placing

86
00:06:17,825 --> 00:06:21,445
the burden back on the residents and broader community. While we understand

87
00:06:22,315 --> 00:06:26,025
that systematic change takes time, immediate coordinated action

88
00:06:26,465 --> 00:06:29,915
is still necessary. It is also important to highlight that visible loitering

89
00:06:30,805 --> 00:06:34,785
continues along major city streets, particularly between cornelian avenue and

90
00:06:35,005 --> 00:06:39,005
foothill boulevard. According to the city's code of ordinances, it is

91
00:06:39,205 --> 00:06:42,985
unlawful for individuals to loiter or obstruct public pathways. Yet

92
00:06:43,225 --> 00:06:47,105
we frequently see individuals doing so, including occupying bus

93
00:06:47,325 --> 00:06:51,195
stops and sidewalks. Additionally, under california business and professionals code

94
00:06:51,485 --> 00:06:55,325
2 2 4 3 5 2. The unauthorized removal of

95
00:06:55,685 --> 00:06:59,165
shopping carts from re retail premises is a misdemeanor. These violations

96
00:06:59,765 --> 00:07:03,465
are evident and on ongoing in our community. Ms. Lopez, that's

97
00:07:03,905 --> 00:07:07,845
the end of your three minutes, but thank you so much for bringing this issue and thank you for taking the

98
00:07:08,005 --> 00:07:11,945
time to contract the state agencies. Uh, next we have is

99
00:07:12,165 --> 00:07:12,995
barbara barinas.

100
00:07:21,455 --> 00:07:25,355
I want to, uh, back up everything wendy said, and I would like in

101
00:07:25,655 --> 00:07:29,485
a, I'd like to say that I have been calling rancho upland back

102
00:07:29,775 --> 00:07:33,455
and forth since 2017. I have records of it,

103
00:07:34,035 --> 00:07:37,015
and we live right off of highland avenue between sapphire and cornelian

104
00:07:38,155 --> 00:07:42,135
and the vagrants use highland avenue as a

105
00:07:42,455 --> 00:07:46,325
thoroughfare to go to the end of the west, end of highland where the camp is. When

106
00:07:46,615 --> 00:07:50,535
I've called upland, they said, call rancho. When I call rancho, they say call upland. I think

107
00:07:50,655 --> 00:07:54,525
it's because there's so many tents in that, in that wash that they,

108
00:07:54,815 --> 00:07:58,435
they can't determine, you know, what side of the boundary it is. Um,

109
00:07:58,955 --> 00:08:02,735
I'm concerned about fire issues, you know, as our area has just been deemed

110
00:08:03,055 --> 00:08:06,535
a fire, high fire thing. There are in the winter, they're, you know,

111
00:08:07,455 --> 00:08:11,375
lighting fires, they're barbecuing. We're gonna have a fire issue. Um, the

112
00:08:11,575 --> 00:08:15,295
other day I was walking my dog and I saw a vagrant squatting in the bushes

113
00:08:16,315 --> 00:08:20,215
and I mean, I don't feel safe in our, in our neighborhood anymore. And I just, I'm tired

114
00:08:20,475 --> 00:08:24,455
of getting pushed back and forth between all the different things. So I really would love for

115
00:08:24,615 --> 00:08:28,555
you guys to work with the, um, all the agencies and

116
00:08:28,795 --> 00:08:30,645
try to help because we are getting exhausted.

117
00:08:32,925 --> 00:08:35,965
thank you. Thank you very much for coming tonight and thank you for your comments.

118
00:08:39,145 --> 00:08:41,615
next we have carlos begar.

119
00:08:44,135 --> 00:08:47,815
hello everybody. A lot of people aren't gonna like what I'm about to say right now and I apologize beforehand,

120
00:08:49,305 --> 00:08:53,205
but, uh, the homeless three issues that were here today, I understand,

121
00:08:54,425 --> 00:08:57,815
uh, a homeless person at the upland library today,

122
00:08:58,825 --> 00:09:02,765
um, let's just say unlucky for him. I was not afraid. Let's just

123
00:09:02,845 --> 00:09:06,675
put it that way. I don't mind violence. Let's put it that way. We got a problem here. Okay,

124
00:09:06,965 --> 00:09:10,925
so everybody's pensions. I am a, I have a master's degree in risk management.

125
00:09:11,795 --> 00:09:15,765
okay? I don't look that pretty, but I have it. And I am so good at

126
00:09:15,925 --> 00:09:19,925
my job. I can tell you there's good people that are not gonna like me. Law enforcement.

127
00:09:20,665 --> 00:09:24,445
you're gonna hate me right now. You're gonna hate me. You're gonna hate me. My sister's a captain

128
00:09:24,785 --> 00:09:28,765
and another, uh, uh, uh, county. She's a captain. I love my sister.

129
00:09:29,025 --> 00:09:32,945
mr. Burgard, can I just interrupt you just for one second? Yes. Could you just keep the comments coming our

130
00:09:33,165 --> 00:09:37,005
way, if you don't mind? Oh, okay. Thank you. I'm just apologizing beforehand. Well, anyways, I have here

131
00:09:37,245 --> 00:09:40,885
a claim for su uh, injuries that I sustained while incarcerated,

132
00:09:41,865 --> 00:09:45,755
uh, at the west county valley detention center. I hold the rancho city cucamonga

133
00:09:46,365 --> 00:09:50,205
partially responsible because you should be aware that the policies that are implemented,

134
00:09:51,185 --> 00:09:55,185
uh, are designed to hurt people like me. People that know the loss. You're

135
00:09:55,605 --> 00:09:59,565
hurting a lot of people. I'm just one of them. Unfortunately for everybody, I'm very educated and

136
00:09:59,765 --> 00:10:03,205
again, I hold a master's degree working on my doctorate in risk management.

137
00:10:03,985 --> 00:10:07,865
so, uh, I was attacked and my dna was taken. My

138
00:10:08,125 --> 00:10:12,085
dna was taken against my force. I was knocked out. Okay? I haven't assessed my

139
00:10:12,285 --> 00:10:16,005
full injuries quite yet. Uh, I usually speak a lot more eloquently, actually,

140
00:10:16,395 --> 00:10:20,365
kind of fits of rage have been one of the symptoms since I was slammed up against the wall

141
00:10:20,525 --> 00:10:24,435
at the west county detention center, okay? To take my dna and they took it, they took it, they

142
00:10:24,725 --> 00:10:27,925
took it, they took my dna, okay? I was robbed of my civil rights.

143
00:10:28,805 --> 00:10:32,805
I was stabbed against the wall. I was knocked out. I can't wait to see the body cams. I can't wait to see the

144
00:10:32,965 --> 00:10:36,825
body cams. They're gonna be fantastic. But I need you to let you know that you got

145
00:10:37,105 --> 00:10:40,845
people employed that are putting policies that put your pensions at risk.

146
00:10:41,645 --> 00:10:45,325
'cause this is a multi-billion dollar lawsuit. 'cause this is class action status.

147
00:10:46,325 --> 00:10:49,845
'cause it hasn't happened. I'm the, believe me, I'm not the first person. This happened to

148
00:10:50,515 --> 00:10:54,275
your, your hammers you're sending out into the street or no, no. The hammers they're

149
00:10:54,765 --> 00:10:58,525
sending into the street are uneducated in the laws and they are putting

150
00:10:58,955 --> 00:11:02,745
your pensions. I I, I'm telling you my

151
00:11:02,995 --> 00:11:06,805
loss, I make a quarter million dollars a year salary, and I don't think I can support

152
00:11:07,125 --> 00:11:11,005
that with the injuries I've experienced to date. Okay? They're not fully

153
00:11:11,605 --> 00:11:15,425
assessed. And that's on a bad year. I make a quarter million dollars if

154
00:11:15,645 --> 00:11:18,925
I kill it. And oh, my job is to defend a $500 million

155
00:11:19,765 --> 00:11:23,405
a year company from the government so that way we can

156
00:11:23,845 --> 00:11:27,825
continue to make our $500 million. We like it, we like our families. I have 500 people

157
00:11:28,305 --> 00:11:32,285
in my family, okay? Uh, I won't tell you the name of the company right now, but I

158
00:11:32,405 --> 00:11:36,025
love rancho cucamonga. I love it. I love it. My pool is beautiful. Uh,

159
00:11:36,625 --> 00:11:40,405
you guys maintain or not? You guys? We, uh, my property's maintained outside

160
00:11:40,825 --> 00:11:44,645
of my, uh, immediate yard. Very well. I love it. Uh, I talk to

161
00:11:44,845 --> 00:11:48,625
the guys that come and spray it all the time. They're fantastic. I love you guys. And

162
00:11:49,605 --> 00:11:50,835
I like the police. Unfortunately,

163
00:11:54,505 --> 00:11:58,375
mr. Gorn give this to you. You can hand it to our city clerk right here, right

164
00:11:58,725 --> 00:12:02,605
in the front row. Thank you very

165
00:12:02,765 --> 00:12:06,465
much. I need a copy of that. And then, mr. Gilson,

166
00:12:06,885 --> 00:12:10,785
we had a couple, three people come today to talk about homeless encampments. Is

167
00:12:11,005 --> 00:12:14,965
there someone that maybe we can refer them to, to give them kind of an update on how jurisdiction

168
00:12:15,765 --> 00:12:19,205
works? Yeah, we, we, we have the contact information for some of these individuals,

169
00:12:19,865 --> 00:12:23,165
so we'll get back in touch with them. Thank you very much.

170
00:12:25,385 --> 00:12:29,125
now we're gonna do is we're gonna move on to our consent calendar. The following consent

171
00:12:29,885 --> 00:12:33,715
calendar items are expected to be routine and non-controversial. They'll be acted upon

172
00:12:34,005 --> 00:12:37,685
without discussion unless an item is removed by a council member for separate discussion.

173
00:12:38,335 --> 00:12:42,185
councilman hutchinson, I need to abstain from item d three due to possible conflict of interest as

174
00:12:42,485 --> 00:12:46,245
socalgas is my employer. Thank you. That is noted. At this point, I'd like to,

175
00:12:46,585 --> 00:12:50,545
uh, entertain a motion to approve the consent calendar, including the

176
00:12:50,885 --> 00:12:54,685
revised staff report and recommendation for item d seven. So, move

177
00:12:54,945 --> 00:12:57,475
second. Second, please. Vote.

178
00:13:06,045 --> 00:13:09,785
motion carries unanimously, including the revised staff report

179
00:13:10,185 --> 00:13:13,825
and recommendation for item d seven. And council member scott abstaining

180
00:13:14,365 --> 00:13:18,145
on item d three and mayor pro tem kennedy. And mayor

181
00:13:18,385 --> 00:13:22,345
michael, absent. Thank you madam clerk. Moving on to our

182
00:13:22,545 --> 00:13:26,505
consent calendar ordinances. Second reading. This is a

183
00:13:26,785 --> 00:13:30,385
consideration of a second reading and adoption of the following. Ordinance number

184
00:13:30,805 --> 00:13:34,585
1 0 4 0, an ordinance of the city of rancho cucamonga, california

185
00:13:35,465 --> 00:13:39,265
amending section 5.0 8.100 of the rancho

186
00:13:39,625 --> 00:13:43,305
cucamonga municipal code to amend the limitation on total value of

187
00:13:43,885 --> 00:13:47,585
prizes award awarded during the conduct of a bingo game.

188
00:13:48,595 --> 00:13:52,545
would anyone like to discuss the proposed ordinance any further? Again, this

189
00:13:52,705 --> 00:13:56,665
is a second reading. If there's no discussion, we'll consider item

190
00:13:57,105 --> 00:14:00,025
e one, uh, and adoption of ordinance number 1 0 4 0.

191
00:14:01,205 --> 00:14:03,925
may I have a motion? So moved. And the second, second,

192
00:14:05,275 --> 00:14:08,705
madam clerk, ordinance number

193
00:14:09,285 --> 00:14:13,105

198
00:14:34,595 --> 00:14:38,595
motion carries by unanimous vote with those present with mayor michael and

199
00:14:38,865 --> 00:14:42,755
mayor pro tem kennedy absent. Thank you madam clerk. The

200
00:14:42,975 --> 00:14:46,895
next item of our agenda is an administrative hearing item. Item f1

201
00:14:47,295 --> 00:14:51,005
is consideration of introduction and first reading by title only of an ordinance

202
00:14:51,375 --> 00:14:54,685
designated moderate high and very high fire hazard

203
00:14:55,485 --> 00:14:59,285
severity zones in the local responsibility areas in accordance with the california

204
00:14:59,725 --> 00:15:03,435
fire code and government code section 5 1 1 75 dash

205
00:15:03,795 --> 00:15:07,745
5 180 9. Ordinance fd 0 5 9. Mr.

206
00:15:08,105 --> 00:15:12,045
gilson? Yes, uh, good evening council member hutchison and members of the city

207
00:15:12,245 --> 00:15:16,085
council. So, uh, we previously had a discussion with the council

208
00:15:16,385 --> 00:15:20,285
in a study session, um, regarding this. And so we're here

209
00:15:20,405 --> 00:15:24,225
before you this evening with the introduction and first reading of the ordinance. So

210
00:15:24,625 --> 00:15:28,465
I'd like to turn it over to our deputy fire marshal shane adams and

211
00:15:28,685 --> 00:15:32,525
our fire marshal rick snot to give the staff report on this item. Uh, thank

212
00:15:32,765 --> 00:15:36,765
you mr. Gilson. Uh, good evening, uh, fire board members. So, uh, we're gonna give

213
00:15:36,845 --> 00:15:40,405
you an overview of the fire hazard, various zone maps. And back in essence,

214
00:15:41,115 --> 00:15:44,965
back in the 1980s is when the first map came out. And that was due to some of the large

215
00:15:45,175 --> 00:15:49,175
fires that were documented. So one being the panorama fire back in 1980, which

216
00:15:49,525 --> 00:15:53,505
had four fatalities, the tunnel fire, which had 25 fatalities, and

217
00:15:53,725 --> 00:15:57,585
then the cedar fire, which had 15 fatalities. So over the time, since the

218
00:15:57,805 --> 00:16:01,645
first map came out in 1985, last map was in 2011. Like I said,

219
00:16:02,385 --> 00:16:06,385
um, since then, the, uh, the scientific advancements for

220
00:16:06,605 --> 00:16:10,585
today's maps have grown dramatically. Uh, in essence, what we use now

221
00:16:10,825 --> 00:16:14,765
is, uh, climate change impacts and also plume modeling. And then the other thing as

222
00:16:14,925 --> 00:16:18,565
well is, is they're using, is ember cas. So as we see in the palisades

223
00:16:19,045 --> 00:16:22,165
fire, the ember cas is anywhere between four and six miles out in front of the fire.

224
00:16:23,065 --> 00:16:26,925
so, uh, it's been some, uh, dramatic changes in growth as it relates

225
00:16:27,225 --> 00:16:31,125
to the use of the maps. Um, no longer are we using the burn

226
00:16:31,375 --> 00:16:35,365
index. Burn index was something that was used long ago. So the technology has outpaced all

227
00:16:35,485 --> 00:16:39,225
of that. So, um, what we really want to emphasize today is, um,

228
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:43,085
the cal fire. These maps are, uh, legally required

229
00:16:44,025 --> 00:16:47,885
and, um, uh, across the state. And then also for local jurisdictions,

230
00:16:48,655 --> 00:16:52,165
we're mandated to adopt the maps. Now we can make the maps more restrictive,

231
00:16:52,915 --> 00:16:56,605
meaning larger, but we can't, we can't make the maps any smaller. So that's requirement

232
00:16:57,165 --> 00:17:01,005
for us. Um, so we're gonna go into the powerpoint presentation, and then we, we'll open

233
00:17:01,245 --> 00:17:05,245
up for some questions at the end for you as well. All right,

234
00:17:05,325 --> 00:17:09,015
thank you. Um, so as chief snotor was saying, the legal

235
00:17:09,365 --> 00:17:13,165
foundation of this ordinance is from the government code in response to devastating

236
00:17:13,495 --> 00:17:17,485
fires throughout california's history. Um, this ordinance

237
00:17:17,965 --> 00:17:21,795
would, uh, identify fire hazard severity zones, um, and enhance

238
00:17:22,785 --> 00:17:26,335
the, uh, fire safety regulations, um, as they apply throughout

239
00:17:27,005 --> 00:17:30,765
our community. Um, it is important to note that this is state mandated

240
00:17:31,305 --> 00:17:35,015
and, um, as part of the state mandate, um, we are taking local

241
00:17:35,365 --> 00:17:38,965
control in order to, um, apply the fire safe regulations

242
00:17:39,605 --> 00:17:41,485
that the state mandates through this map ordinance.

243
00:17:44,505 --> 00:17:48,505
the map was created based off of, um, off of a lot of science and,

244
00:17:48,785 --> 00:17:52,665
uh, topography, fuels, uh, climate, uh, as

245
00:17:52,885 --> 00:17:56,845
well as ember cast. And as you'll see here in a minute, once, um, the map is, is shown,

246
00:17:57,625 --> 00:18:01,405
um, the ember cast, uh, makes a, a big difference in wildland,

247
00:18:02,385 --> 00:18:03,895
um, fire hazard severity zones.

248
00:18:07,365 --> 00:18:11,335
this is our, our current map. Um, we're considering it the previous map because this

249
00:18:11,675 --> 00:18:15,615
map, uh, the ordinance is adopting a new map. Um, all of these

250
00:18:15,825 --> 00:18:19,255
areas in red are what are considered very high fire hazard

251
00:18:19,855 --> 00:18:23,815
severity zone moving forward. This is what the map is,

252
00:18:24,595 --> 00:18:28,495
um, is proposing of these areas. One thing to

253
00:18:28,655 --> 00:18:31,855
note is that we cannot change, um, the area

254
00:18:32,755 --> 00:18:36,735
of this map or the, the areas. We can only make it more

255
00:18:36,895 --> 00:18:40,595
restrictive. We are not proposing to make it more restrictive. We are taking

256
00:18:41,115 --> 00:18:44,575
the data from the state as they recommend and adopting the map accordingly.

257
00:18:47,135 --> 00:18:51,135
in this next slide here, um, the blue area was our previous map

258
00:18:51,735 --> 00:18:55,355
and the, uh, red, yellow, and orange are what is, is currently

259
00:18:56,035 --> 00:18:59,955
proposed. The red, yellow, and orange are very high, the high and the moderate

260
00:19:00,085 --> 00:19:03,645
areas. If I could just draw your attention to the lower

261
00:19:04,365 --> 00:19:08,115
right hand side, um, twanda and baseline area. There's a red spot

262
00:19:08,395 --> 00:19:12,315
there that is, um, what the modeling is showing based on

263
00:19:12,755 --> 00:19:16,725
ember cast. So based on our previous fire history, based on topography

264
00:19:17,605 --> 00:19:21,475
fuels, they're, um, projecting a potentially a fire in that, that

265
00:19:21,755 --> 00:19:25,755
area. Um, as well as along the, uh, cucamonga channel

266
00:19:25,955 --> 00:19:29,635
on the west side of our, our city. Um, that area has expanded,

267
00:19:30,055 --> 00:19:34,035
um, quite some bit to come out to, um, sapphire street because of that,

268
00:19:34,425 --> 00:19:35,315
that predictive modeling.

269
00:19:39,015 --> 00:19:42,915
so some of map analysis, um, there's a

270
00:19:43,035 --> 00:19:46,635
22% increase in parcel, uh, count. So that

271
00:19:47,195 --> 00:19:51,075
directly relates to ownership. So 22% increase in, in direct ownership,

272
00:19:52,175 --> 00:19:55,115
but the actual area of the map itself is decreasing by 4%.

273
00:19:56,295 --> 00:20:00,145
and that, um, those figures there show you the, the difference, um, from

274
00:20:00,435 --> 00:20:04,395
the very high that we currently have. And then broken down into the very high, the high

275
00:20:04,735 --> 00:20:07,995
and the moderate zones. Um,

276
00:20:08,915 --> 00:20:11,495
the adoption process, this map was released on, uh, march 24th, 2025.

277
00:20:14,515 --> 00:20:18,135
um, it was released in four parts throughout the state. We have to,

278
00:20:18,555 --> 00:20:22,455
um, open public comment within 30 days for a period of 30 days.

279
00:20:23,115 --> 00:20:26,975
um, our public comment period, um, just recently closed, but we are

280
00:20:27,135 --> 00:20:30,915
still taking some public comments as they come in. We've received, um,

281
00:20:31,185 --> 00:20:34,055
three questions as they relate to the effectiveness of this ordinance.

282
00:20:35,355 --> 00:20:39,215
um, and then we have an adoption period of 120 days from march 24th.

283
00:20:42,035 --> 00:20:45,695
um, as I said before, the local amendments cannot be more restrictive than

284
00:20:46,045 --> 00:20:49,885
what the state is recommending. Um, but we are,

285
00:20:50,625 --> 00:20:54,405
um, considering that parcels that have an overlap in zones, they

286
00:20:54,645 --> 00:20:58,025
would be applied to the more restrictive, um, hazard

287
00:20:58,845 --> 00:21:02,715
classification. So if a parcel potentially has very high and high,

288
00:21:03,465 --> 00:21:06,005
the very high requirements would apply to that entire parcel.

289
00:21:07,655 --> 00:21:10,125
we're proposing this, uh, ordinance to be effective january 1st, 2026.

290
00:21:12,305 --> 00:21:15,805
uh, and that would coincide with our triennial code adoption,

291
00:21:16,425 --> 00:21:20,285
um, period. The implications,

292
00:21:21,105 --> 00:21:25,065
uh, of the ordinance in the very high, uh, in

293
00:21:25,285 --> 00:21:29,205
essence in the very high areas, it looks at land development in terms of subdivisions,

294
00:21:30,265 --> 00:21:34,065
um, to building construction, to landscaping. Um,

295
00:21:34,815 --> 00:21:38,505
there is defensible space requirements and a hazard disclosure, um,

296
00:21:39,385 --> 00:21:43,165
for real estate transactions in order to disclose the fire hazard severity

297
00:21:43,395 --> 00:21:46,835
zone. Um, in the high area, uh, the regulations

298
00:21:47,585 --> 00:21:51,385
are, are slightly decreased in that, um, it's really only the

299
00:21:51,835 --> 00:21:55,565
real estate disclosure and the building standards commission, I'm sorry, the

300
00:21:55,845 --> 00:21:59,745
building standards for, um, new homes and then in the moderate is only to

301
00:22:00,055 --> 00:22:03,865
adopt, um, the area to identify that it is at

302
00:22:04,125 --> 00:22:05,185
a moderate, um, hazard.

303
00:22:08,605 --> 00:22:12,465
so for the existing conditions, this is really where we're focusing our,

304
00:22:12,685 --> 00:22:15,565
our local control from the state mandate. Um,

305
00:22:17,005 --> 00:22:20,705
our approach is to educate our community and really take a self-regulation

306
00:22:22,005 --> 00:22:25,925
for the property owner. Um, we do have, uh, a robust,

307
00:22:26,645 --> 00:22:30,345
um, outreach plan built, um, to educate and engage with our community

308
00:22:31,165 --> 00:22:35,125
and, um, give them different examples of what they could, uh,

309
00:22:35,345 --> 00:22:38,775
potentially do to increase the, the survivability

310
00:22:39,685 --> 00:22:43,565
of their home. Um, we are not going to be

311
00:22:43,785 --> 00:22:47,725
doing inspections for existing, uh, property owners, um,

312
00:22:49,675 --> 00:22:53,645
and, uh, for new construction, they will have

313
00:22:53,935 --> 00:22:57,785
to comply with the current standards for fire hazard severity zones

314
00:23:00,095 --> 00:23:03,835
for the fire hazard, uh, disclosure, the, um, ab 30 eights

315
00:23:04,195 --> 00:23:08,075
as they're commonly referred to, um, the fire district does not

316
00:23:08,235 --> 00:23:12,135
have a vegetation management ordinance, so we are not going to be, um,

317
00:23:12,485 --> 00:23:16,255
doing the ab 38 hazard disclosure. Uh, we have, um,

318
00:23:16,835 --> 00:23:20,275
documentation that we can provide to, um, potential buyers or sellers

319
00:23:20,945 --> 00:23:24,915
that would explain our process specific to rancho cucamonga, and then they

320
00:23:25,075 --> 00:23:29,035
can proceed with their real estate transactions without the, um, without the

321
00:23:29,235 --> 00:23:33,215
disclosure. So the fire safe regulations,

322
00:23:34,435 --> 00:23:38,215
um, these are the different, um, laws that would

323
00:23:38,455 --> 00:23:42,305
apply to these fire hazard severity zones. Um, again,

324
00:23:42,805 --> 00:23:46,565
from land development, from subdivision review to building standards

325
00:23:47,425 --> 00:23:50,485
to the defensible space, the landscaping, all of these requirements

326
00:23:51,455 --> 00:23:54,315
would, um, apply to the very high fire hazard severity zone.

327
00:23:56,395 --> 00:24:00,285
looking to the future, um, the state fire marshal and board of forestry is

328
00:24:00,445 --> 00:24:04,125
currently, um, promulgating regulations for zone zero.

329
00:24:04,675 --> 00:24:08,435
what zone zero is, is zero to five feet from a structure that,

330
00:24:08,865 --> 00:24:12,685
um, is a combustible exclusion zone. What that means is that there's no combustibles

331
00:24:13,365 --> 00:24:16,885
within five feet of a home. So vegetation ground covers,

332
00:24:17,745 --> 00:24:21,685
um, vinyl fencing, anything that can burn within five feet of the

333
00:24:21,765 --> 00:24:25,325
home, um, potentially may not be allowed,

334
00:24:25,785 --> 00:24:28,245
um, based on how the state fire marshal promulgates that regulation.

335
00:24:30,265 --> 00:24:33,605
um, so we are monitoring that, um, through the fire protection,

336
00:24:34,425 --> 00:24:38,125
I'm sorry, fire prevention officers associations throughout the state, as well as,

337
00:24:38,545 --> 00:24:42,085
um, how they're going to adopt the california wildland urban interface

338
00:24:42,635 --> 00:24:46,405
code. What the california wildfire wildland urban interface code

339
00:24:46,645 --> 00:24:50,125
does is bring all those fire safe regulations into one document,

340
00:24:50,705 --> 00:24:54,085
and depending on how they adopt that document, um, that's where we're,

341
00:24:54,815 --> 00:24:58,765
we're positioning ourselves to, to monitor what they do so that way we

342
00:24:59,125 --> 00:25:02,485
can have a better understanding of moving forward. How do these regulations

343
00:25:03,185 --> 00:25:03,845
impact our community,

344
00:25:07,335 --> 00:25:10,895
our public and ed, public education and outreach plan? Um,

345
00:25:11,375 --> 00:25:15,355
we have four primary, um, aspects of that. Um, one is social

346
00:25:15,675 --> 00:25:19,345
media. Um, we currently have our city website

347
00:25:19,895 --> 00:25:23,735
up to help explain these requirements, um, and that the, the

348
00:25:23,955 --> 00:25:27,265
state mandates for this ordinance. Um, we also

349
00:25:28,095 --> 00:25:32,075
are working on, uh, mailers for our community that would go out to the

350
00:25:32,195 --> 00:25:36,155
very high fire hazard severity zone. Uh, property owners and then

351
00:25:36,315 --> 00:25:40,255
community events we're, uh, partnering with the police department in

352
00:25:40,475 --> 00:25:44,435
order to, uh, attend their citizens advisory committee, as well

353
00:25:44,595 --> 00:25:48,435
as, um, hosting our own events in order to be able to relay what the

354
00:25:48,635 --> 00:25:52,475
ordinance means and what homeowners could do to make their home more fires safe,

355
00:25:55,225 --> 00:25:58,915
what that we're available for. Any questions if you may have any?

356
00:25:59,405 --> 00:26:02,755
great, thank you. Any questions of the fire board at this time?

357
00:26:04,455 --> 00:26:08,355
uh, two for me, uh, number one is with new construction,

358
00:26:08,675 --> 00:26:12,595
having to deal with new regulation, is that for homes that permits

359
00:26:13,035 --> 00:26:17,035
are gonna be pulled after the ordinance takes place at the beginning of next year, or is

360
00:26:17,155 --> 00:26:21,145
that like everything after we pass this ordinance is going to have to comply? So that, that

361
00:26:21,435 --> 00:26:25,375
would align with our 2026, uh, january one, um,

362
00:26:25,845 --> 00:26:29,815
coded options cycles. So anything new after 2021, I'm

363
00:26:30,035 --> 00:26:33,935
sorry, 2026 would comply with these regulations. Excellent, thank you. Can

364
00:26:34,195 --> 00:26:38,155
I see the map, the new map one more time? And this is just a confirmation

365
00:26:39,625 --> 00:26:43,565
here. You mentioned down at the southeast corner there was a kind of

366
00:26:43,765 --> 00:26:47,605
a, a little, a kidney bean that's

367
00:26:47,885 --> 00:26:51,885
kind of removed from the rest of it. And you talked about ember cast and the idea here is, is that

368
00:26:53,385 --> 00:26:57,355
lit embers have a higher probability of taking airborn

369
00:26:57,845 --> 00:27:01,245
flight and landing down and that kind of

370
00:27:02,245 --> 00:27:06,065
circular area and lighting something on fire? That's correct. So

371
00:27:06,315 --> 00:27:09,965
with the predominant wind patterns coming out of the coho pass, if there was a wind-driven

372
00:27:10,635 --> 00:27:14,415
fire in the northeastern portion of the fire district, um, those

373
00:27:14,765 --> 00:27:18,605
could produce embers that would potentially land in that area depending on how

374
00:27:18,945 --> 00:27:22,445
the, the winds, the predominant winds are in, in the time of a fire.

375
00:27:23,295 --> 00:27:26,985
great, thank you very much. At this point I'd like to open the administrative

376
00:27:27,885 --> 00:27:31,725
hearing. Is there anyone who'd like to speak on this item? F1?

377
00:27:35,065 --> 00:27:38,985
seeing none, I'll close the administrative hearing and ask if

378
00:27:39,205 --> 00:27:42,365
there's any further comment or questions from our fire board.

379
00:27:44,855 --> 00:27:48,475
I have one, not just a, a question, but thank you for your report and, and, um, update

380
00:27:48,895 --> 00:27:52,655
on this. You know, fire safety is, is, is important. It's crucial, especially what we've seen

381
00:27:53,275 --> 00:27:56,975
and happen in other communities, but again, here we go, state mandates coming down,

382
00:27:57,635 --> 00:28:01,495
but I am glad to see we're gonna take some sort of local control 'cause what they've been doing is taken away and

383
00:28:01,715 --> 00:28:05,695
I'm glad to see that we're actually, uh, being proactive, especially the public outreach component.

384
00:28:06,175 --> 00:28:10,175
there are a lot of residents that may be a little surprised to hear this, and so I'm glad we're doing everything

385
00:28:10,455 --> 00:28:14,235
we can. That way they're aware, um, of, of what is happening that way. Um,

386
00:28:15,085 --> 00:28:18,415
some may still be surprised, but at least we're doing what we can to get the word out. So thank you.

387
00:28:19,345 --> 00:28:23,015
thank you councilwoman scott, you're welcome. At this point I'd like to entertain a motion to approve staff's

388
00:28:23,415 --> 00:28:27,395
recommendation and introduce ordinance number fd 0 5 9 by

389
00:28:27,615 --> 00:28:31,615
title only and waive further readings. So move second, madam clerk,

390
00:28:34,725 --> 00:28:38,575
ordinance number fd 0 5 9, an ordinance of the board

391
00:28:38,775 --> 00:28:42,735
of directors of the rancho cucamonga fire protection district, state of

392
00:28:42,895 --> 00:28:46,415
california designating fire hazard severity

393
00:28:47,025 --> 00:28:50,685
zones, establishing the wired land urban interface fire

394
00:28:51,165 --> 00:28:54,705
area, and making certain amendments to defensible space

395
00:28:55,175 --> 00:28:59,005
requirements. Please vote.

396
00:29:03,305 --> 00:29:07,105
motion carries by unanimous vote of those present with mayor michael and

397
00:29:07,325 --> 00:29:10,485
mayor pro tem kennedy absent. Thanks for your effort and support.

398
00:29:13,155 --> 00:29:17,065
next we're gonna move on to advertise public hearing. Item, uh, g one, the

399
00:29:17,285 --> 00:29:20,595
public hearing is to consider a resolution for placement of special assessments

400
00:29:21,585 --> 00:29:25,145
and liens for delinquent solid waste accounts. The resolution is 2 0 2 5

401
00:29:26,235 --> 00:29:28,325
dash 0 1 7. Mr. Gillison?

402
00:29:30,345 --> 00:29:34,205
yes, good evening, council member hutchinson and members of the city council. So as you're aware,

403
00:29:34,405 --> 00:29:38,345
we go through a process every year, um, and after an

404
00:29:38,565 --> 00:29:42,445
initial notice in that we have a public hearing where the council approves a

405
00:29:42,725 --> 00:29:46,325
resolution that places special assessments and liens for delinquent accounts

406
00:29:46,865 --> 00:29:50,645
for solid waste, um, on the property tax bill. So we started

407
00:29:50,955 --> 00:29:54,745
this process, um, I guess a month, month or two ago now. And so we're here before

408
00:29:55,165 --> 00:29:59,085
you tonight for the public hearing. So with that, I'm gonna turn it over to our management analyst

409
00:29:59,525 --> 00:30:03,245
to marissa otos for the presentation. Thank you mr. Sison. Good

410
00:30:03,535 --> 00:30:07,055
evening, mr. Council member hutchinson and members of the city council. My name is marissa

411
00:30:07,565 --> 00:30:11,335
otos and management analyst for environmental programs, and I will be presenting this staff report

412
00:30:11,655 --> 00:30:15,575
on this agenda item. Mr. Council member hutchinson will then conduct the public

413
00:30:15,735 --> 00:30:19,615
hearing following my presentation. The mandatory

414
00:30:19,855 --> 00:30:22,495
payment program is outlined in section 8.1 7.70

415
00:30:23,955 --> 00:30:26,775
of the city's municipal code and approved by city council in 2011.

416
00:30:28,125 --> 00:30:31,775
this established requirements for mandatory service and payment for residential, commercial,

417
00:30:32,235 --> 00:30:35,695
and industrial solid waste collection service. Prior to 2011,

418
00:30:36,755 --> 00:30:40,375
the waste hauler would stop providing service when an account was passed due. So some properties

419
00:30:40,775 --> 00:30:44,615
were continuously late or never paid, um, which resulted in stockpiling

420
00:30:45,215 --> 00:30:48,965
or illegally dumped trash. The ordinance

421
00:30:49,325 --> 00:30:53,125
was established to address stockpiling of solid waste on properties and curb illegal

422
00:30:53,445 --> 00:30:57,325
dumping annually. The franchise waste hauler burtek provides the city

423
00:30:57,525 --> 00:31:01,465
with a list of accounts that are 60 or more days past due from their previous calendar year to

424
00:31:01,685 --> 00:31:05,605
be considered for special assessment and the lien process. The city

425
00:31:05,785 --> 00:31:09,565
is required to send out public hearing notices by mail to property owners on the delin delinquent

426
00:31:10,125 --> 00:31:12,205
list at least 10 days prior to the public hearing.

427
00:31:14,745 --> 00:31:16,565
the public hearing notices were mailed out on april 17th, 2022,

428
00:31:18,825 --> 00:31:22,805
I'm sorry, 2025. And furthermore, the public hearing was also advertised

429
00:31:23,085 --> 00:31:25,045
in the daily bulletin newspaper on april 29th, 2025.

430
00:31:28,305 --> 00:31:31,795
the accrual period is from january 1st, 2024 through

431
00:31:32,565 --> 00:31:36,525
december 31st, 2024. Subec did provide an updated of delinquent

432
00:31:36,965 --> 00:31:39,285
account. So this information is current as of may 20th, 2025,

433
00:31:42,185 --> 00:31:46,105
and there are currently 748 delinquent accounts, but

434
00:31:46,325 --> 00:31:50,325
comes out to $318,029. Property owners that

435
00:31:50,565 --> 00:31:54,445
are still on the delinquency list do have until july 14th to submit payment

436
00:31:54,645 --> 00:31:57,945
to burtek property owners. Um,

437
00:31:59,025 --> 00:32:02,925
excuse me, the final list will then be submitted to the county of, um, uh, for the

438
00:32:03,085 --> 00:32:07,045
2025 tax roll, which is due by august 10th, and this is per the

439
00:32:07,205 --> 00:32:09,005
san bernardino county tax assessor's death line.

440
00:32:11,925 --> 00:32:15,655
as a result of the public hearing notices, we did receive 35 inquiries, 15

441
00:32:16,145 --> 00:32:20,145
visits to the frequently asked questions page on the city's website, and we did

442
00:32:20,345 --> 00:32:24,185
receive one written protest. The property owner on the delinquent list does

443
00:32:24,385 --> 00:32:26,625
have until the close of the public hearing to submit a protest.

444
00:32:28,805 --> 00:32:32,805
and this concludes my report and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Any

445
00:32:33,265 --> 00:32:37,185
questions of our city council at this time. I'd

446
00:32:37,405 --> 00:32:41,245
like to open the public hearing. Is there anyone who would like

447
00:32:41,445 --> 00:32:45,265
to comment on item g one? Seeing

448
00:32:46,285 --> 00:32:49,025
, would you like to come up here to the podium, sir?

449
00:32:58,875 --> 00:33:02,855
ooh, I forgot my papers. Awesome. Is it a crime for a

450
00:33:03,135 --> 00:33:06,075
homeless person to come and take the cans out of my blue? Can

451
00:33:07,595 --> 00:33:08,775
can they be arrested for this?

452
00:33:13,115 --> 00:33:16,975
mr. Gil? Sir, this is an opportunity to address the counsel about the liens that

453
00:33:17,175 --> 00:33:21,035
are being placed on property. Oh. Oh, okay. I, like I said, I, if

454
00:33:21,255 --> 00:33:25,135
nobody knows the answer, I'll go sit down. Sorry. Perhaps we can get you an answer later though,

455
00:33:25,395 --> 00:33:29,155
sir, but thank you. Anyone else? Uh, who'd like to comment on item g one?

456
00:33:30,155 --> 00:33:33,765
seeing none, I'm gonna close the public hearing any further comment from

457
00:33:34,255 --> 00:33:37,595
counsel to staff? I'll just reiterate that, uh,

458
00:33:38,365 --> 00:33:41,955
july 14th is less than two months away. So if you are on this list, please

459
00:33:42,435 --> 00:33:46,235
get yourself off of it. And I'd like to entertain a motion to

460
00:33:46,455 --> 00:33:49,405
approve staff's recommendation to opera resolution 2 0 2 5 dash 0 1 7.

461
00:33:50,635 --> 00:33:52,735
so moved. Second, please vote.

462
00:33:57,105 --> 00:34:01,005
motion carries by unanimous vote. Those present with mayor michael and mayor

463
00:34:01,345 --> 00:34:04,685
pro tem kennedy absent. Thank you for your report. Thank you.

464
00:34:06,015 --> 00:34:09,565
we're going to move on to the second advertised public hearing item now, which is

465
00:34:10,165 --> 00:34:14,125
g two, a public hearing to consider the first reading by title

466
00:34:14,395 --> 00:34:18,385
only of city council ordinance 1 0 4 1 to adopt zoning map

this project is exempt from environmental review under the state s guidelines. Section

1 5006 1 b three as a proposed zoning

00:34:49,465 --> 00:34:53,355

gillison? Yes. Council member hutchinson and members of the city council.

478
00:35:07,065 --> 00:35:11,005
so this item is a cleanup item if you will. Um, as you noted in

479
00:35:11,165 --> 00:35:15,025
the title, uh, we have an inconsistency with the general plan land use map.

480
00:35:15,625 --> 00:35:19,545
um, so we are processing this through to clean that up. With that, I'm

481
00:35:19,765 --> 00:35:23,045
gonna introduce and turn this over to jared knight, our assistant planner for the staff report.

482
00:35:25,635 --> 00:35:29,525
good evening, members of the city council. Tonight I am presenting on zoning map amendment drc

483
00:35:30,005 --> 00:35:31,555
2025 dash 0 0 0 4 4.

484
00:35:34,475 --> 00:35:38,325
this amendment is being proposed by the city of rancho cucamonga and will affect

485
00:35:38,525 --> 00:35:42,205
two parcels located at 9 7 2 0 and 9 7 5 0 seventh street.

486
00:35:43,425 --> 00:35:46,885
the proposed amendment will change their zoning map designation in order to correct an inconsistency

487
00:35:47,565 --> 00:35:50,485
with the parcel's existing general plan land use map designation.

488
00:35:52,375 --> 00:35:56,285
staff created the application on february 20th, 2025 and it was

489
00:35:56,405 --> 00:35:58,845
heard by the planning commission at the regular meeting on april 9th, 2025.

490
00:36:02,445 --> 00:36:06,285
here's an a aerial map of the project site and the vicinity. The property is

491
00:36:06,505 --> 00:36:10,425
currently zoned center one southwest cucamonga with the general plan land use designation

492
00:36:10,865 --> 00:36:14,825
of new industrial employment. The project site is located generally at

493
00:36:14,985 --> 00:36:16,785
the northeast corner of archibald and seventh street.

494
00:36:19,805 --> 00:36:23,335
here's a photo of the existing conditions of the site taken facing east towards 9 7 2 0

495
00:36:24,265 --> 00:36:27,905
seventh street from archibald avenue. As you can see, it's been developed with an industrial warehouse

496
00:36:28,505 --> 00:36:32,345
building. This is the same parcel taken facing north on seventh street.

497
00:36:33,835 --> 00:36:37,685
and here's 9 7 5 0 seventh street taken facing north on seventh street. Also

498
00:36:37,975 --> 00:36:39,455
developed with industrial warehouse building.

499
00:36:42,275 --> 00:36:46,175
the subject parcels are part of the larger shoey distribution center development, which was approved

500
00:36:46,295 --> 00:36:50,215
in 2020 and finished the construction late last year. At the

501
00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:53,695
time of the shoey distribution center's approval, the subject parcels were zoned neo industrial

502
00:36:54,675 --> 00:36:58,555
but were rezoned to center one southwest cucamonga as part of a broader zoning

503
00:36:59,075 --> 00:37:02,965
as part of azo broader zoning map change in january, 2024. Unfortunately,

504
00:37:03,815 --> 00:37:07,215
this change was made in error as parcels in question were not meant to be included in this rezoning.

505
00:37:08,675 --> 00:37:12,295
as a result of this error, the subject parcels are currently non-compliant with their general

506
00:37:12,725 --> 00:37:16,595
plan with with the general plan land use map. Further, the

507
00:37:16,815 --> 00:37:20,655
change has left the building's intended warehouse distribution use non-compliant with the zone in which they're

508
00:37:20,935 --> 00:37:24,935
located. Thus, proposed amendment is intended to revert the subject's

509
00:37:25,255 --> 00:37:28,775
parcel's zoning map designation back to new industrial. To correct these discrepancies,

510
00:37:30,475 --> 00:37:34,415
it should be noted this project pertains only to the zoning change. There is no physical development

511
00:37:34,815 --> 00:37:36,375
of any kind associated with proposed amendment

512
00:37:39,605 --> 00:37:43,575
seen. Here is the approved site plan for the shoey distribution center. As you can see, it consists of four

513
00:37:43,695 --> 00:37:45,125
warehouse buildings located on three parcels.

514
00:37:48,315 --> 00:37:52,215
the parcels affected by the proposed zoning map amendment are developed with buildings one and two of the center.

515
00:37:53,765 --> 00:37:57,615
this is the current zoning map. As you can see, uh, as of right now, the shuey

516
00:37:58,055 --> 00:37:59,945
distribution center is split between two different zones.

517
00:38:03,315 --> 00:38:07,135
and this is the draft of the proposed amended zoning map wherein the subject parcels

518
00:38:07,575 --> 00:38:11,535
will be locate, will be all located in the neo industrial zone to match the existing general plan land

519
00:38:11,795 --> 00:38:15,495
use map. It'll also rectify the inconsistency between

520
00:38:15,815 --> 00:38:17,045
the chuy distribution center parcels,

521
00:38:21,745 --> 00:38:25,635
where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may

522
00:38:25,855 --> 00:38:29,735
have significant effect on the environment. The activity in question is not subject to cqa

523
00:38:31,035 --> 00:38:34,755
as there is no new development associated with the proposed zoning map amendment and

524
00:38:35,085 --> 00:38:38,635
the proposed new zoning will correct an inconsistency with the general plan land use designation.

525
00:38:39,855 --> 00:38:43,245
staff has found there will be no significant effect on the environment as a result of the proposed amendment.

526
00:38:45,105 --> 00:38:48,885
the proposed amendment was presented to the planning commission for public hearing during their regular meeting on april 9th, 2025.

527
00:38:50,745 --> 00:38:54,195
during the public hearing, no comments were received by members of the public commissioners

528
00:38:54,995 --> 00:38:58,915
in attendance, had no questions for staff retaining the proposed amendment and unanimously voted to recommend

529
00:38:59,275 --> 00:39:02,875
approval of the proposed amendment to the city council. Written

530
00:39:03,365 --> 00:39:07,285
notices of this hearing were mailed to all property owners within 660 feet of the subject parcel

531
00:39:07,585 --> 00:39:11,555
on april 29th, 2025. Physical notices were posted on the project site

532
00:39:11,845 --> 00:39:15,685
on april 30th and notices were published in the inland valley day bulletin. On that same date

533
00:39:16,545 --> 00:39:19,245
to date planning staff have received no inquiries regarding the proposed amendment.

534
00:39:21,875 --> 00:39:25,485
with all that said, staff recommends the city council approve zoning map amendment drc

535
00:39:25,925 --> 00:39:29,845

536
00:39:31,295 --> 00:39:35,055
thank you. This will conclude staff's presentation and we are available to answer questions. Thank

537
00:39:35,405 --> 00:39:37,925
you. Any questions of staff before we open the public hearing?

538
00:39:39,745 --> 00:39:43,725
seeing none the public hearing is now open. Anyone who would like to

539
00:39:43,885 --> 00:39:45,585
speak on item g two,

540
00:39:48,595 --> 00:39:51,805
perhaps a compliment on the water wise landscaping that I saw there.

541
00:39:53,225 --> 00:39:56,765
seeing none closing the public hearing. Any further comment

542
00:39:58,555 --> 00:40:02,425
then I'd like to entertain a motion to approve staff's recommendation to introduce ordinance 1 0 4 1

543
00:40:03,285 --> 00:40:07,065
by title only and waive further readings. So move second

557
00:41:15,705 --> 00:41:19,395
next item is item g three, a public hearing to consider

558
00:41:19,795 --> 00:41:23,505
adoption of the 2025 through 2029 consolidated plan,

559
00:41:24,295 --> 00:41:28,195
the 2025 through 2026 annual action plan and the

560
00:41:28,355 --> 00:41:32,315
draft citizen partition participation plan for the community

561
00:41:32,675 --> 00:41:36,665
development blk grant program. Mr. Gillison? Yes.

562
00:41:36,885 --> 00:41:40,805
council member hutchinson and members of the city council. So we come before you every year.

563
00:41:41,265 --> 00:41:45,205
uh, this is part of a regular process. Uh, in order for the city to be able

564
00:41:45,505 --> 00:41:49,245
to utilize the cdbg funds, um, that we are eligible to receive,

565
00:41:50,225 --> 00:41:53,985
um, we need to have an updated consolidated plan. We need to have an annual

566
00:41:54,665 --> 00:41:58,605
action plan, um, and a citizen participation plan. And we

567
00:41:58,725 --> 00:42:02,535
have a formal process that we go through to adopt these. Um, there

568
00:42:02,885 --> 00:42:06,485
is a fair amount of uncertainty right now over what the future may hold for cdbg.

569
00:42:07,305 --> 00:42:10,965
um, and we certainly don't have the answers to those. Um, but the best

570
00:42:11,325 --> 00:42:15,045
guidance right now that everyone is receiving is to assume it will be refunded

571
00:42:15,605 --> 00:42:19,225
at some level and proceed forward with the normal process. So

572
00:42:19,705 --> 00:42:23,645
we are here before you this evening for that process. And with that, I'll turn it over

573
00:42:23,805 --> 00:42:26,445
to flavio nunez, our management analyst too for the staff report.

574
00:42:28,095 --> 00:42:32,035
thank you mr. Gillison and good evening city council. As mentioned tonight

575
00:42:32,525 --> 00:42:36,385
before you in your consideration is the community development block grant program, the

576
00:42:36,605 --> 00:42:40,505
2025 through 2029 consolidated plan, as

577
00:42:40,725 --> 00:42:44,585
well as the 20 25 20 26 action plan and

578
00:42:44,805 --> 00:42:48,705
the citizens' participation plan. As you are aware, the

579
00:42:48,965 --> 00:42:52,925
cdbg funds are federal grant dollars allocated by the department of housing and urban development.

580
00:42:53,865 --> 00:42:57,715
in order to receive these funds, the city must prepare a five year consolidated plan that

581
00:42:58,325 --> 00:43:01,925
identifies the strategic priorities and goals that the city will attempt to address

582
00:43:02,365 --> 00:43:06,125
over the next five years. In addition, each year, the city must prepare

583
00:43:06,505 --> 00:43:10,005
an action plan that defines how it will spend each year's individual

584
00:43:10,845 --> 00:43:13,125
allocation to meet the goals of the consolidated plan.

585
00:43:15,045 --> 00:43:19,025
as part of the prep, uh, preparation of the consolidated plan outreach efforts were

586
00:43:19,505 --> 00:43:22,825
included discussions with housing and social service programs providers,

587
00:43:23,625 --> 00:43:27,425
a distribution of a community survey, community meetings, public hearing

588
00:43:27,665 --> 00:43:31,465
meetings, as well as tonight's public hearing meeting, uh, all in an effort

589
00:43:31,705 --> 00:43:34,825
to receive input on the cdbg and the spending of those funds.

590
00:43:37,335 --> 00:43:40,965
drawing from our community engagement efforts as well as data analysis and

591
00:43:41,385 --> 00:43:45,105
consultation with stakeholders, the consolidated plan identifies

592
00:43:45,645 --> 00:43:49,405
six priority needs. These these needs will be addressed through six

593
00:43:49,945 --> 00:43:53,665
strategic goals, uh, which are listed in the diagram on the screen

594
00:43:54,245 --> 00:43:57,785
in no particular order. These goals include public services

595
00:43:58,265 --> 00:44:01,865
programs, improvements to public facility, uh, and infrastructure,

596
00:44:03,105 --> 00:44:07,105
preservation of affordable housing, economic development, fair housing

597
00:44:07,745 --> 00:44:11,595
services, planning and administration. These goals

598
00:44:11,935 --> 00:44:15,675
are all supported by measurable outcome targets for the five year period,

599
00:44:16,095 --> 00:44:19,735
as shown on the screen along with correspond corresponding recommendations

600
00:44:21,135 --> 00:44:25,105
and funding recommendations. The

601
00:44:25,325 --> 00:44:28,835
2020, excuse me, the 25 26 action plan

602
00:44:29,675 --> 00:44:33,605
will be the first of the five year annual plans that will be

603
00:44:33,965 --> 00:44:37,725
outlined, how each year's allocation will be spent to meet the goals of the comprehensive

604
00:44:38,555 --> 00:44:42,285
plan. Following the preparation of this report,

605
00:44:42,825 --> 00:44:46,605
hut released its annual allocation, so the numbering your staff report

606
00:44:46,885 --> 00:44:50,785
is slightly different off by about $3,500. The

607
00:44:51,005 --> 00:44:52,505
city is expected to receive $1,045,705

608
00:44:55,945 --> 00:44:59,385
in cdbg funds. Uh, that's an increase of

609
00:45:00,095 --> 00:45:03,635
$3,567 over the previous year when

610
00:45:04,285 --> 00:45:08,185
combined with, uh, prior year dollars or funds. The

611
00:45:08,405 --> 00:45:12,265
20 25 26 action plan will allocate a total of $1,325,499

612
00:45:16,625 --> 00:45:20,165
in cdbg funding. Now, as, as our city manager alluded

613
00:45:20,665 --> 00:45:24,225
to, I'd be remiss not to mention that there's a lot of uncertainty. Um,

614
00:45:24,745 --> 00:45:28,685
the federal budget that's been proposed does have some significant cuts to

615
00:45:29,505 --> 00:45:33,205
hud and so while some cdbg administrators feel that this first year

616
00:45:33,545 --> 00:45:36,555
is gonna continue as usual, there's still uncertainty.

617
00:45:37,665 --> 00:45:41,265
uh, we have made some changes and, um, to

618
00:45:41,805 --> 00:45:45,665
minimize any kind of impacts that we might, you know, see as

619
00:45:45,885 --> 00:45:49,865
a result of any budget cuts this year and going forward as well. However, as,

620
00:45:50,225 --> 00:45:54,105
uh, our city manager, uh, mentioned, we do need to, uh,

621
00:45:54,725 --> 00:45:58,365
continue the process of approving adopting these plans in order to be able to receive these funds

622
00:45:59,225 --> 00:46:02,155
and not to lose any time. Uh, at the start of our fiscal year

623
00:46:04,075 --> 00:46:07,565
with every action plan, there is a public process to notify organizations

624
00:46:08,245 --> 00:46:12,205
of potential cdbg funding opportunities. A total of 10 applications

625
00:46:12,765 --> 00:46:16,365
were received, including some from the city departments.

626
00:46:17,305 --> 00:46:21,205
we were able to fund each of the applications. However, some were funded at lower

627
00:46:21,405 --> 00:46:25,265
amounts than requested, primarily due to the cap that is in

628
00:46:25,485 --> 00:46:29,005
place by hud, uh, due to some of our um, service programs.

629
00:46:31,595 --> 00:46:34,965
this next slide shows the funding recommendations for each program.

630
00:46:35,695 --> 00:46:39,565
these programs all tie back to one or more of the strategic goals in the

631
00:46:39,965 --> 00:46:43,805
consolidated plan. These programs include preservation of affordable housing,

632
00:46:45,075 --> 00:46:48,665
food and homeless service, uh, programs, infrastructure

633
00:46:49,565 --> 00:46:53,245
improvements, health and wellness programs, just to name a few. In conclusion,

634
00:46:54,305 --> 00:46:57,445
uh, the staff recommends that the city council conduct a public hearing,

635
00:46:58,415 --> 00:47:02,285
adopt the consolidated plan, as well as the action plan and the citizen participation

636
00:47:02,685 --> 00:47:06,185
plan, and authorize the city manager to execute all necessary grants

637
00:47:06,945 --> 00:47:10,845
and certifications required by hud. This concludes my

638
00:47:10,965 --> 00:47:14,965
presentation. I'm available for any questions you might have. Thank you, flavio. Any questions from the city

639
00:47:15,125 --> 00:47:15,125
council?

640
00:47:19,385 --> 00:47:22,895
no questions. There's a comment though. I I appreciate the report. You know, I serve,

641
00:47:23,625 --> 00:47:27,525
um, on the public sector for the community action partnership, which is the food bank. And so there's

642
00:47:27,765 --> 00:47:31,525
some real concerns and uncertainty, and I just look at the list of the organizations here

643
00:47:31,875 --> 00:47:35,805
that we serve, that benefiting, you know, kids and meals activities and a lot

644
00:47:35,885 --> 00:47:39,885
of senior programs. So I I, I know everyone's on edge about the uncertainty of it, and I

645
00:47:39,965 --> 00:47:43,725
hope, I hope it continues. 'cause it really does do a lot of good for different organizations, um, within

646
00:47:44,065 --> 00:47:48,025
our city of here. Thank you. I'd like now to open the

647
00:47:48,245 --> 00:47:52,235
public hearing. Anyone who'd like to comment

00:47:57,005 --> 00:48:00,925
I will close the public hearing. Try not to smash the hammer too down hard on the

650
00:48:01,045 --> 00:48:04,565
dice and ask is there any further comment or questions

651
00:48:05,075 --> 00:48:09,005
from the counsel? I seeing none. I'd like

652
00:48:09,085 --> 00:48:12,885
to entertain a motion to adopt a 20 25 20 29 consolidated plan,

653
00:48:13,145 --> 00:48:16,845

660
00:48:47,905 --> 00:48:51,805
so every quarter we come to you, uh, we do a budget update and we

661
00:48:51,925 --> 00:48:55,645
also do a development update. So this is an effort to keep

662
00:48:55,945 --> 00:48:59,845
the city council as well as our community informed of all the projects that

663
00:48:59,965 --> 00:49:03,225
are happening in the city. Um, many of which may not

664
00:49:03,985 --> 00:49:07,945
be obvious, um, depending on how you've, how

665
00:49:08,165 --> 00:49:11,945
much you frequent certain areas or not. So with that, I'm gonna turn it over to

666
00:49:12,195 --> 00:49:16,125
matt marquez, our economic develop development director, and zach nabors, our

667
00:49:16,445 --> 00:49:19,965
building and safety services director for the staff report on item h one.

668
00:49:21,115 --> 00:49:24,525
good evening everyone. Uh, we'll start off with go to the next slide

669
00:49:25,235 --> 00:49:28,925
with a discussion about some activity, uh, in our award-winning

670
00:49:29,725 --> 00:49:33,565
planning department, uh, in first quarter 2025. So almost a

671
00:49:33,885 --> 00:49:37,835
thousand touch points, uh, with the community. As you could see on the slide, 600 plus

672
00:49:38,175 --> 00:49:41,985
phone calls in over 330 counter visits. Additionally, the planning commission met

673
00:49:42,205 --> 00:49:46,045
four times, uh, 29 projects, major projects in entitlement

674
00:49:46,405 --> 00:49:50,045
review and, uh, 38 new applications submitted over the quarter.

675
00:49:51,905 --> 00:49:54,605
moving on to the economic development team. My next slide please.

676
00:49:56,465 --> 00:50:00,445
so the economic development team continues to be out and about, uh, learning new things

677
00:50:00,645 --> 00:50:04,445
about businesses we're trying to attract. Here you see an image, uh, on the right

678
00:50:04,825 --> 00:50:08,425
of some team members at a conference in anaheim in february, the

679
00:50:09,105 --> 00:50:11,645
md and m west conference, focus on medical manufacturing,

680
00:50:13,145 --> 00:50:15,495
uh, of devices and products in the medical field.

681
00:50:17,185 --> 00:50:20,605
uh, the team also attended a couple other conferences including the icma

682
00:50:21,205 --> 00:50:24,855
local government, uh, reimagined conference and the entertainment experience

683
00:50:25,555 --> 00:50:29,385
evolution conference. Um, we also participated in,

684
00:50:29,665 --> 00:50:33,595
uh, several meetings with our partners, uh, one of which was a county city

685
00:50:34,245 --> 00:50:38,005
economic development roundtable, uh, I 15 economic development collaborative

686
00:50:38,425 --> 00:50:42,405
as well as a few others. And as always, we continue to have a significant impact and presence

687
00:50:42,525 --> 00:50:45,525
on social media. Uh, in quarter one, over 800,000

688
00:50:46,565 --> 00:50:50,545
social media impressions, which are the number of times a piece of content is

689
00:50:50,765 --> 00:50:54,705
displayed. Next slide, please. So

690
00:50:54,925 --> 00:50:58,745
from time to time, we'd like to give you an update on how some of our businesses are doing. Uh,

691
00:50:59,305 --> 00:51:02,965
during this presentation, we'll give you a bit of an update on the nike well, collective

692
00:51:03,815 --> 00:51:07,765
first opened in october of 2023. Um, a bit

693
00:51:07,925 --> 00:51:11,445
different than some of the other nike stores. They go beyond traditional sports,

694
00:51:12,305 --> 00:51:15,695
uh, at these locations, uh, offering apparel and other,

695
00:51:16,465 --> 00:51:20,445
um, products for body, mind, and life. Uh, during the

696
00:51:20,655 --> 00:51:24,605
first quarter of 2025, the store of victoria gardens was the most

697
00:51:24,805 --> 00:51:28,125
visited of these types of stores in the nation with over 49,000

698
00:51:29,005 --> 00:51:32,885
visits. Uh, 52% of those visitors were millennials between

699
00:51:33,165 --> 00:51:36,965
the ages of 18 and 37, almost a,

700
00:51:37,245 --> 00:51:40,775
a split 50 50 between males and females. Uh, 52.8%

701
00:51:42,285 --> 00:51:46,005
of the visitors were hispanic or latino. Uh, average income for

702
00:51:46,365 --> 00:51:49,675
visitors was roughly 124,000. And the average ticket sale,

703
00:51:50,425 --> 00:51:54,065
uh, during this this first quarter was roughly $123 per

704
00:51:54,625 --> 00:51:58,585
uh, purchase. Most visits, uh, happen on saturdays, and

705
00:51:58,825 --> 00:52:01,925
the average visit lasted about 34 minutes in the store.

706
00:52:03,275 --> 00:52:06,875
um, residents from fontana visited the store the most, almost

707
00:52:07,295 --> 00:52:11,015
8,000 of them, and then followed by rancho cucamonga residents, almost 7,300.

708
00:52:13,215 --> 00:52:16,255
interestingly, also, the store received visitors

709
00:52:17,475 --> 00:52:21,365
who make their homes in places like new york, texas, ohio, arizona,

710
00:52:22,305 --> 00:52:26,175
north carolina, and rhode island. And then, as you could see, there's also

711
00:52:26,415 --> 00:52:30,255
some cool kids, uh, in this picture here rocking their fresh nike gear and

712
00:52:30,455 --> 00:52:34,395
fresh nike dunks. Uh, but we wanted to show you, uh, how well the, uh,

713
00:52:34,635 --> 00:52:38,615
the nike well collective is doing, uh, at victoria gardens. And we'll continue

714
00:52:38,735 --> 00:52:42,695
to provide you with these updates on other businesses, uh, throughout the city. So with

715
00:52:42,895 --> 00:52:46,895
that, I will pass the floor over to, uh, zach nabors, uh, from

716
00:52:47,095 --> 00:52:50,915
the award-winning building and safety services department. Uh,

717
00:52:51,135 --> 00:52:55,135
thank you matt. I appreciate it. Good evening, mayor. Uh, I'm sorry, members of city

718
00:52:55,375 --> 00:52:59,295
council. Uh, quarter one was another busy and eventful quarter

719
00:52:59,675 --> 00:53:03,375
for building safety and community development as a whole. As you can see,

720
00:53:03,915 --> 00:53:07,775
uh, we issued a little less than 1200 building permits, a little more

721
00:53:08,015 --> 00:53:11,695
than 1400 new plan checks middles. Uh, we were able to finalize

722
00:53:12,315 --> 00:53:16,315
34 new, uh, residential units as

723
00:53:16,535 --> 00:53:20,295
well as 14 new adus. Um, in terms

724
00:53:20,675 --> 00:53:24,575
of building activity, the alexa victoria gardens is a

725
00:53:24,755 --> 00:53:28,695
new four story multifamily wrap development, uh, consisting

726
00:53:29,365 --> 00:53:32,935
of six buildings and 385 apartment units.

727
00:53:33,945 --> 00:53:37,595
the project will be located on the northwest area of victoria gardens.

728
00:53:38,085 --> 00:53:41,555
they're currently completing the final aspects of the rough grading

729
00:53:42,185 --> 00:53:45,725
and are anticipating scheduling an inspection in the next week or two

730
00:53:46,345 --> 00:53:50,125
to get their grading approved. This will essentially allow them to have their

731
00:53:50,565 --> 00:53:54,325
building permits, uh, issued and the construction of the buildings themselves

732
00:53:55,025 --> 00:53:58,835
to progress. Um, in terms of residential

733
00:53:59,765 --> 00:54:03,405
building activity, the haven and arrow project continues to make significant

734
00:54:04,405 --> 00:54:08,285
progress in the last quarter. Uh, it continues to frame up the

735
00:54:08,445 --> 00:54:12,285
12 buildings that will make up the project, and as you can see, they're fully

736
00:54:12,485 --> 00:54:16,405
transforming that southwest corner of haven and arrow and really given it

737
00:54:16,605 --> 00:54:20,525
that new dynamic. Uh, the sycamore heights project has made

738
00:54:20,765 --> 00:54:24,155
significant progress and we're recently granted occupancy

739
00:54:24,785 --> 00:54:28,285
to their models in their leasing office. And they're working on completing

740
00:54:28,845 --> 00:54:32,685
phase two of the project, which are the live work units. You can see in the photo

741
00:54:33,075 --> 00:54:36,995
that are adjacent to foothill boulevard. Uh, once

742
00:54:37,285 --> 00:54:41,045
commercial projects complete all their inspections, they're granted a

743
00:54:41,445 --> 00:54:45,275
certificate of occupancy allowing them to open, uh, to business for patrons

744
00:54:45,785 --> 00:54:49,235
in quarter one. There were several new businesses that were granted cbos,

745
00:54:49,915 --> 00:54:53,845
some of which include, uh, wolfgang bakery, which is now open at 72 33

746
00:54:55,135 --> 00:54:58,555
haven. And according to their website, they're serving up delicious

747
00:54:59,165 --> 00:55:02,765
natural treats and turning a routine wash into a luxury

748
00:55:03,465 --> 00:55:07,285
spa experience for your pet. Um, mendocino farms located

749
00:55:07,785 --> 00:55:11,485
at 7 8 7 0. Monet in victoria gardens is now open.

750
00:55:12,225 --> 00:55:15,545
uh, they're serving fresh salads and sandwiches. And then lastly,

751
00:55:16,385 --> 00:55:19,845
uh, most southwest grill located at 88 75. Foothill

752
00:55:20,505 --> 00:55:24,305
has received its certificate of occupancy and is now open for

753
00:55:24,765 --> 00:55:28,685
business. And that actually completes that project, uh, consisting of the three

754
00:55:28,855 --> 00:55:32,705
shell buildings on the, uh, southwest corner of foothill and

755
00:55:33,205 --> 00:55:37,165
vineyard. And so that's just to name a few. And with that,

756
00:55:37,365 --> 00:55:41,125
that ends our presentation, and matt and myself are open to any

757
00:55:41,445 --> 00:55:45,445
questions you may have. And council member, I'll just add, um, we're really excited

758
00:55:45,845 --> 00:55:49,845
about most southwest grill. They have one other location in the state. It's down

759
00:55:50,085 --> 00:55:54,045
in camp pendleton. Um, this will be their first, if you will,

760
00:55:54,475 --> 00:55:58,275
open location, I guess for where everybody can access. So they

761
00:55:58,565 --> 00:56:02,465
have a good presence outside of california. So we're very excited, um,

762
00:56:02,685 --> 00:56:06,245
that they chose to start their, um, california, if you will,

763
00:56:06,835 --> 00:56:10,515
push, uh, in rancho cucamonga. So, uh, as to mendocino

764
00:56:11,295 --> 00:56:15,245
farms, um, they've almost already outgrown their space and they haven't

765
00:56:15,525 --> 00:56:19,305
even been there six months. Um, stopped there over the weekend and

766
00:56:19,915 --> 00:56:23,635
half the items on the menu were sold out. Um, so they're doing fantastic.

767
00:56:24,375 --> 00:56:28,145
their sales are doing excellent. And then, um, as, uh,

768
00:56:28,475 --> 00:56:32,205
zach said, um, the wolfgang bakery, it's a larger

769
00:56:32,675 --> 00:56:36,355
franchise. Um, uh, this will be the first one in this area.

770
00:56:37,065 --> 00:56:40,725
um, they're off to a good start. I stopped there to talk to the owners last week.

771
00:56:41,585 --> 00:56:45,385
um, they're off to a good solid start already. Um, and my two

772
00:56:45,605 --> 00:56:49,325
dogs loved the treats. I got them . So, um, we're happy to see some of these new

773
00:56:49,765 --> 00:56:53,685
businesses coming in. We're also very happy because what we're starting to see

774
00:56:54,225 --> 00:56:57,965
is that businesses are coming in and going into some of our

775
00:56:58,315 --> 00:57:02,115
centers beyond just the immediate proximity of victoria gardens.

776
00:57:02,905 --> 00:57:06,465
um, you know, uh, wolfgang bakery is at haven and

777
00:57:06,925 --> 00:57:10,805
baseline, mo's is at cornelian and foothill, or vineyard

778
00:57:10,965 --> 00:57:14,945
and foothill. So we're, we're starting to really see some of that diversification and

779
00:57:15,165 --> 00:57:18,925
the uplift of some of our older centers. Um, so that's an excellent

780
00:57:19,275 --> 00:57:23,045
sign. Um, and we're seeing it happen and it's coming with tenant improvements

781
00:57:23,685 --> 00:57:27,605
and facelifts to the centers. Um, so we've got a number of

782
00:57:27,805 --> 00:57:31,805
other items in the hopper. Um, and this looks to be a good year for a

783
00:57:31,885 --> 00:57:35,685
lot of the activity that's happening. Excellent, excellent. Hard not to be really proud

784
00:57:36,115 --> 00:57:40,035
when these companies have been successful elsewhere. Choose rancho cucamonga

785
00:57:40,905 --> 00:57:44,545
to be their first home in the state, so, excellent. Any comment for

786
00:57:45,185 --> 00:57:49,125
no, just agree. What, and it's exciting just to see too that the nearest ones are in the

787
00:57:49,305 --> 00:57:53,005
la area and then they're moving out to the inland empire. So that's excited. And I agree why george loves

788
00:57:53,325 --> 00:57:57,085
the wolf game book. They look so good. You think they're for humans, but they're

789
00:57:57,405 --> 00:58:00,605
for pets. So we're happy to see them here. Great, thank you.

790
00:58:01,605 --> 00:58:05,445
I just wanna, um, thank you and your teams for all of your hard work and continued

791
00:58:06,005 --> 00:58:09,935
successes and allowing this growth to continue to happen in our cities as well. Great.

792
00:58:10,295 --> 00:58:13,535
thank you. Could you scroll back to the nike, well collective

793
00:58:14,605 --> 00:58:18,485
q1, uh, slide real quick. I have kind of a subjective question

794
00:58:18,625 --> 00:58:21,165
for each of you. Is that's, who do you think wore it best?

795
00:58:24,335 --> 00:58:28,325
sorry, this might . I I'm gonna plead the fifth on that one.

796
00:58:28,605 --> 00:58:32,205
I think y all worry amazingly each of you. Yes, very good answer here.

797
00:58:32,645 --> 00:58:36,645
there's no motion required. This is a receive and file report. Thank you very much for it.

798
00:58:37,065 --> 00:58:41,005
and way to answer that last curve ball onto council business.

799
00:58:41,315 --> 00:58:45,025
council announcements. Anyone have any? Uh,

800
00:58:45,325 --> 00:58:49,035
I just wanna say that over the weekend, the beginning of the week, I attended the international council

801
00:58:49,745 --> 00:58:53,725
of shopping centers, commonly known as icsc. It's an opportunity for cities

802
00:58:54,145 --> 00:58:58,125
and also businesses to come together and see if we can match locations with

803
00:58:58,645 --> 00:59:02,235
business. Uh, it was a really eyeopening experience. I wanted to thank john,

804
00:59:02,875 --> 00:59:06,785
matt and matt, tanya, alyssa, karina and flavio for giving up

805
00:59:07,005 --> 00:59:10,885
half of their weekend and part of their week to go out there and try and find businesses

806
00:59:11,165 --> 00:59:15,085
to land in the city to give our residents options, which is what we know they want. So thank

807
00:59:15,285 --> 00:59:19,145
you so much and thank you for being willing to let me tag along any

00:59:19,365 --> 00:59:23,335
