Rancho Cucamonga, CA Sidewalk & Pedestrian Rules: Encroachment Permits (2026)

090 bars erecting, enlarging or altering any building, structure or parking lot that does, or would, encroach on a public easement or right-of-way unless an encroachment permit is first obtained from the city engineer, who may grant it only after determining the encroachment will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare. 040 requires constructing sidewalks, curbs, gutters, street trees, lighting and drainage to city standards along street frontages. 140 requires its own permit and lets the city issue a notice of removal; if the obstruction is not cleared in the stated time, the city may remove it and bill the responsible person, ultimately certifying unpaid costs to the county auditor as a special assessment collected with property taxes.

130(D) lets the city engineer demand an additional deposit or bond increase if a permit's existing security is not enough to protect the public interest in the highway, including trees, and may revoke the permit or sue to recover a shortfall. 150 lets the city engineer order a permitted encroachment relocated at the permittee's own cost whenever necessary for public safety or road improvement, specifying a reasonable deadline to start the work.
