The Red Hill Community Park in Rancho Cucamonga holds a special place in the hearts of local residents as a beloved passive and active recreation hub in our community. 

The City is embarking on a Beautification Project of the south portion of this cherished community space, with the goal of enhancing its natural beauty, passive recreational opportunities, and overall appeal. This project is intended to be a collaborative effort with input from community members to transform the park into an even more inviting and sustainable open space, fostering a sense of pride and unity among our residents. 

Focusing on the south portion of the park, we will be seeking input on how the park space including the water feature, amphitheater, park shelters, and other amenities are used, how they can be improved or what amenities can be reimagined. As the City strives to enhance future operations and align the evolving needs of our community, your feedback plays a pivotal role in making well-informed decisions. Click the button below to take the survey and provide your feedback. 

In addition to the survey, virtual and in-person meetings and workshops are scheduled for April, visit www.cityofrc.us/parkdevelopment to stay connected.

The City of Rancho Cucamonga strives to maintain safety, security, and a high quality of life for all who live, work, and visit here. One of the fiscal means to maintain this quality and character is the City of Rancho Cucamonga’s Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) — paid by hotel, motel, and short-term rental guests staying in Rancho Cucamonga. The TOT provides a modest but reliable source of funding for some City services, doing so without any tax burden on local residents, unless a resident stays at a hotel, motel or short-term rental in Rancho Cucamonga. The City’s TOT was first implemented by a City ordinance (Ordinance No. 197) in 1983 at a rate of 10% and has not been raised since and has not kept pace with rising costs. 

The TOT could be updated through a voter-approved ballot measure that would increase the TOT paid by hotel, motel and short-term rental guests by an amount to be determined. The City will conduct a public opinion poll to help determine a potential increase and whether there is public support to place a measure on the November 2024 ballot. If placed on the ballot, an increase to the TOT would provide locally controlled revenue that would help the City plan for long-term budgeting of key City functions, including: 

• Supporting Public Safety 
• Addressing Homelessness 
• Improving Infrastructure 
• Maintaining and Improving Parks and Open Space 
• Supporting City Programs for Seniors and Youth
