The Planning and Economic Development Department (PED) works with residents, business owners, and elected officials to build a consensus on how to equitably develop the city on a human-scale going forward, both short-term and long-term. The Planning Division administers the City's General Plan and Development Code which are the key documents that guide physical development (what can go where and under what conditions) in the city. The Economic Development Division focuses on improving the business environment in Rancho Cucamonga, aiding with business location questions, permit processing issues, real estate acquisition or other types of business assistance.
