BACKGROUND
The City of Chino annexed Sub -Area 2 of the San Bernardino County Agricultural Preserve in 2003 and adopted The Preserve S pecific Plan. One of the aspects of the Specific Plan was a design for the roadways that would form the transportation system for the area and link it with the City and surrounding communities. The plan also included other necessary infrastructure, such as water, storm water, and sewer. At that time, little to no infrastructure existed: water was produced from private wells; stormwater was managed on -site by landowners, and there were very few public roads maintained by the County. Kimball Avenue ended just east of where Main Street is today; Bickmore Avenue ended at Grove Avenue (now West Preserve Loop), and Hellman Avenue ended at Pine Avenue.
To finance all the necessary infrastructure to support development of the area, a Development Impact Fee (DIF) pro gram was created. The fees are deposited in specific funds so that infrastructure can be built. When development occurs, the developer is conditioned to build infrastructure adjacent to their development that will serve the area. If the infrastructure is identified in the City’s DIF program (arterial streets, trunk sewers, storm drain lines), the developer can get credit against the DIF that they would normally pay, as the City is receiving completed infrastructure and does not have to build it.
In the early years of Preserve development, builders primarily had to construct large extensions of streets, sewers, water and storm drain lines because there was no infrastructure in the area.
These extensions were beyond what would have normally been required. An a dditional constraint to roadway expansion was the lack of public rights -of-way. Because there were few County streets to begin with, the City did not have the property to accommodate roadway widenings that were not directly adjacent to development, and chose not to use eminent domain to condemn property from existing farming operations to widen streets. Development of the first two phases of The Preserve commence d quite rapidly between 2004 and 2008, with several streets widened, extended, and all necessary sewer, water, and storm drain lines constructed underneath.
The Great Recession and subsequent real estate bust of 2009-2011 had a significant impact on the progress of development in The Preserve, essentially grinding to a halt. I t took the subsequent tw o to three years for developers and the City to ramp back up and start development in earnest again, obtaining plans and permits, and negotiating with land owners to obtain rights-of-way to construct infrastructure along arterial roadways. This has resulte d in the flurry of construction activity that is occurring today.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Within the last several years, several street projects have been completed and/or are under construction:
• Hellman Avenue was constructed between Merrill and Kimball Avenues • Merrill Avenue was widened between Grove and Hellman Avenues • Kimball Avenue was widened both between Flight and Hellman Avenues, and Euclid and Rincon Meadows Avenues
• Pine Avenue was widened between East Preserve Loop and Hellman Avenue

• The Euclid Avenue in tersections at Kimball, Bickmore, and Pine Avenues were all widened and improved
• Pine Avenue is being widened between East Preserve Loop and West Preserve Loop for the Preserve Town Center development
• Bickmore Avenue is being widened on the north side betw een Euclid Avenue and Quality Way.
The following projects are in the planning and permitting stages, and are anticipated to start construction within the next 12-24 months:
• Pine Avenue Stage 3 - Pine Avenue will be widened between Meadowhouse and Rincon Meadows Avenues to four lanes. While originally this work was anticipated to include a full closure of Pine Avenue for up to eight weeks, the design is being modified to allow for continuous traffic flow during construction. The City is currently working wit h the developer (Lewis Communities) to review and approve plans, as well as working through Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) to obtain necessary permits and fill dirt for the improvements.
• Pine and Euclid - Pine Avenue will be widened to six la nes between Euclid and Johnson Avenues. The plans are in design , the City is in the process of obtaining permits from Army Corps of Engineers, and obtaining right-of-way from OCFCD and the Army Corps of Engineers.
• Euclid re -striping between Pine and Bickmo re Avenues - The City is awaiting approval from Caltrans, which will create an additional northbound lane. • Additional widening of Pine Avenue on the north side between East and West Preserve Loop, the connection of East Preserve Loop to Pine Avenue, as wel l as construction of segments of Bickmore Avenue, will occur as the Falloncrest property develops.
• Widening of the final section of Kimball Avenue on the north side, between Main Street and Rincon Meadows Avenue. Plans are approved. The City is working wit h Southern California Edison to relocate six power poles. Once they are relocated, construction can commence.
• Widening of Merrill Avenue on both the north and south sides, from Euclid to Hellman. This project will be built by the developers of the Ontario Ranch Business Park and will take place over the next few years to completely widen Merrill Avenue to four lanes.
There are also several regional roadway improvement projects that are in the works:
• Kimball Avenue and El Prado Road intersection improvements - The City of Chino will redesign and widen the intersection of El Prado Road and Kimball Avenue. This will improve the traffic flow at the intersection by providing free movement of traffic between Kimball Avenue and El Prado Road. This project will entail acquiring right of way from the State as the property needed is along the northeast corner of El Prado Road and Kimball Avenue. This project will also include reconfiguring Central Avenue by widening the southeast corner to allow for left-turn lanes and reconfiguring the southbound lanes to accommodate the

left turn lanes and two through lanes. Public works recently added a southbound left turn lane at Central Avenue to alleviate congestion at the intersection. • Pine Avenue Connector - The Pine Avenue Connector Extension Project (ST061) is a major roadway project which will extend Pine Avenue from State Route (SR) 71 to its intersection with El Prado Road, ultimately improving the existing roadway between El Prado Road and Euclid Avenue (SR 83). The constr uction of this four -lane urban arterial will fulfill the City of Chino’s Circulation Elements objective and will provide traffic relief to Euclid Avenue and Central Avenue interchange at SR 71, in which staff is currently finalizing the design. • Euclid Aven ue widening between SR -71 and Pine Avenue - Construction of a 2,400 linear-foot bridge along Euclid Avenue from west of Pomona Rincon Road to west of the entrance to Prado Regional Park. The bridge will include four 12 - foot lanes (two northbound and two s outhbound), a six -foot shoulder, and sidewalks.
• Limonite Avenue and Kimball Avenue connection - This project is located in the City of Eastvale and requires the construction of a bridge. Staff will be meeting with Eastvale staff to learn more about the project timing.

SUBJECT: SOUTHEAST AREA POLICE SUBSTATION
PAGE 2
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to the discussion at the City Council’s Budget Workshop, Police Department staff have been studying options at the Chino Airport to place a Southeast Area Substation to serve both the Chino Preserve and Chino College Park communities. In the 2018 Development Impact Fee (DIF) Update, staff identified a need for a southeast are a satellite substation. The need for the substation was due to the development in that sector of the city which placed residents and businesses up to five miles away from the main police facility. LE -001 is the DIF project identified to fulfill this need w ith an original projected cost of $4.5 million for the acquisition of land and construction of the substation. The Law Enforcement DIF fund currently has a total balance of $3.6 million.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The purpose of the substation is to provide resident s in the Chino Preserve and Chino College Park communities with more convenient access to police services. It is anticipated that a professional staff employee would be assigned to the substation during business hours to provide services such as records re quests, vehicle releases, and general information.
Additionally, officers assigned to the southeast portion of the city would use the substation to complete reports, conduct interviews and meet with area residents and business owners. This would reduce the number of trips personnel are required to make to the main police facility, which in turn would increase the overall police presence in the area and reduce response times.
Traffic Unit personnel assigned to the sector would also be able to use the substat ion in a similar manner to help address ongoing traffic issues such as truck route enforcement.
In examining potential locations for a Southeast Area substation, staff identified the Chino Airport as a central location. In addition to its central location , the airport offers the ability to purchase or lease existing facilities which would reduce the overall costs of the project, as well as vacant land that would allow for a build -to-suit facility. Furthermore, the airport location provides the ability to h ouse the substation and a future Air Support Unit. To that end, staff is presenting four options for discussion and input. The first three options are feasible in the next 6 months to two years, while option four is anticipated to take 3-5 years to complete.
Option 1 - Purchase and improve an existing facility. The Chino Airport contains several existing storefront hangar facilities that would meet the needs of the substation. This option would involve the purchase of an existing facility which could then be modified to a substation format with a lobby, service counter, office space and hangar. Public parking is available at the facilities. Purchasing an existing facility is anticipated to cost between $950,000 and $1,500,000 with an additional $250,000 in building modifications.
Option 2 - Lease and improve an existing facility. Under this option, the City would lease an existing facility and modify that facility to serve as a substation. Leasing is anticipated to cost approximately $85,000 to $110,000 a y ear and require approximately $250,000 in building modifications. A leased location would also have public parking available.
Option 3 - Purchase a facility that is currently under construction and complete build -out. This option would involve the purchas e of a facility that is currently under construction. It would

involve significantly greater construction costs as it would include only the shell of the building with utilities stubbed out, and require the design and construction of internal walls, floors and a second story. The cost for the purchase of the shell building is anticipated to be approximately $2 million with an additional $500,000 to $1 million for interior build -out. This site also has very limited parking and presents access issues due to a one-way driveway.
Option 4 - Acquire land from the County and build a substation hangar facility . Staff projects costs for this facility would be approximately $4 million to $5 million if the land can be acquired at no cost. Significant coordination with the county and required approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration would make this a long-term project (3-5 years).
