BACKGROUND
The City of Chino's 2021 -2029 Housing Element (“Housing Element”) articulates a strategy for meeting its Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) obligations by the creation of two new zoning overlay districts that permit housing at densities deemed affordable to low and very low income households in Chino (defined as earning less than 80% and less than 50% of the area median income (AMI ), respectively). The new overlays created are an Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO) and a Mixed Use Overlay (MUO). The AHO and MUO would apply to sites identified in Attachment A. Additionally, to help ensure that RHNA requirements for lower income households are met, the Housing Element calls for completion of a study to assess the feasibility of adopting inclusionary zoning requirements. Inclusionary requirements would require the mandatory construction of a certain percentage of affordable housing units or payment of an equivalent in-lieu fee or other alternative compliance method as part of each new residential development in the overlays.

The AHO and MUO sites currently have non -residential zoning, or a zoning designation of less than 30 dwelling units (“du/ac”) per acre, and as such, the approval of Chino voters was required to either allow residential uses or increase residential densities on the sites consistent with Measure M, the City's residential growth control measure adopted in 1988. Accordingl y, Measure Y (Ordinance No. 2022 -001) was placed on the ballot in June 2022 requesting voter approval to allow residential uses of up to 30 du/ac in the AHO and MUO to accommodate affordable housing to meet the City’s RHNA obligations. Measure Y passed wit h 73.3 percent voter approval, and staff and the General Plan Update consultant (“consultant”) have prepared draft zoning ordinance amendments (“zoning amendments”) to Chapter 20 (Zoning Code) of the Chino Municipal Code to implement the overlay districts and associated development standards. Adoption of the overlays would also require targeted amendments to the Land Use Element of the General Plan, as well as to the East Chino, Majestic Spectrum, and Eucalyptus Business Park Specific Plans for consistency with the proposed zoning amendments and related development standards. The proposed amendments provide a positive City image by providing additional housing development opportunities in the City that help to meet the housing needs of residents of all incom e levels as outlined in the General Plan. The amendments also promote responsible long range planning by creating AHO and MUO districts and associated development standards to implement the 2021 -2029 Housing Element. The California Department of Housing an d Community Development (HCD) has made certification of the updated Housing Element contingent on adoption of the overlays.

On January 17, 2023, the City Council held a workshop to review and provide feedback on several key policy questions related to the AHO and MUO and associated development standards. The Council provided direction on the following key points:
· Use of the overlays should be voluntary, providing property owners the option of constructing higher density and affordable housing if they wish. · Projects in the overlays should have a base density of 20 du/ac and be eligible for

SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 2023-014, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT; INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 2023-008, ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AND ZONE CHANGE; INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 2023-009, EUCALYPTUS

increases in allowable density up to 30 du/ac in exchange for a greater share of affordable units. Council requested a sliding scale be incorporated to clearly illustrate the percentage of affordable units required for an increase in density. · Small projects of 20 units or less should be allowed to pay an affordable housing fee instead of constructing the units onsite to help with financial feasibility; however, to the extent permitted under State law, larger residential projects in the overlays should be required to build affordable units onsite.
· The number of parking spaces required to be covered should be reduced in high density residential projects in the overlays to help with financial feasibility, but the overall number of off-street parking spaces required should be consistent with the existing standards in Chapter 20.18 (Parking) of the Zoning Code for multi-family dwellings. · Additional building height (up to one additional story) should be permitted where necessary to allow for projects to achieve higher density while also providing adequate onsite open space and recreational amenities. Taller buildings should be clustered on the site. The Council was unanimou s in emphasizing that open space and recreational amenities are important for the quality of life of future residents of projects in the overlays.
· The Planning Commission should stay involved in the development review process via a checklist type of desi gn review using the City’s Site Approval procedures to confirm compliance with the established objective standards.

Additionally, the Council requested that staff and the consultant provide some reference projects from other communities in the region to he lp visualize what high density projects built to the standards comparable to those proposed would look like. Several representative projects have been included as shown in Attachment B.

Based on City Council direction received at the January workshop, staf f and the consultant finalized a draft of the zoning amendments and completed a financial evaluation/nexus study to assess whether inclusionary housing requirements, along with the proposed development standards and affordability requirements, would ensure the development of affordable housing in the City, while also making economic sense in our local real estate market. On February 9, 2023, a draft of the revised zoning amendments was posted to the City's website and made available for public review and comment ahead of the public hearings. During the public review, staff was contacted by two property owners/representatives of potential developers that identified some concerns regarding a few of the proposed overlay development standards, as well as the high percentage of affordable inclusionary requirements proposed by the City.

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed amendments on March 6, 2023. Following the posting of the Planning Commission agenda, staff received two letters from the same property owners/representatives regarding the overlay standards and inclusionary requirements. The Planning Commission discussed the concerns outlined in the letters and continued the hearing to the March 20, 2023 Planning Commission meeting base d on staff’s

recommendation to allow additional time to review the concerns. The concerns identified were related to the parking location for certain types of developments, building height and upper story offsets, open space requirements, and the inclusion ary housing requirement analysis not being consistent with current construction costs and City fees. During the time between Planning Commission meetings, staff meet with the consultant team and the parties that provided the letters to discuss their commen ts on the proposed Zoning Amendments and worked with the consultant team to incorporate modifications to the standards to address developers’ concerns.

Overall, the modifications incorporated provided developers more options for meeting the standards and will thus help to generate financially feasible projects. Additionally, staff and the consultant reviewed the economic analysis of the proposed inclusionary requirements in light of current and future construction costs and City fees. The analysis was previ ously based on City fees that did not include the latest increases to Development Impact and Park Fees. These costs have bearing on the financial feasibility of development projects and accordingly, the economic analysis of the inclusionary requirements ha s been updated to reflect the 2024 estimated public permit and fee costs.

Additionally, Staff received two letters related to the SB 330 preliminary application that was submitted to the City in September 2022. The application is for the development of 300 apartments at 4700 Chino Hills Parkway, east of Ramona Avenue. An SB 330 preliminary application locks in the applicable development standards at the time the preliminary application is submitted.

In consultation with the City Attorney following the Marc h 6, 2023 Planning Commission meeting, and consistent with direction from the City Council, staff was directed to allow for a “carveout” for the SB 330 project since it was submitted prior to the AHO and MUO standards being finalized and adopted. With the “carveout” provision, the SB 330 applicant will be able to move forward with their project, but as a courtesy, the applicant is working with the City to be more in compliance with the provisions of the proposed zoning amendments to create consistency for p rojects that will be submitted in the overlays in the future. The “carveout” language is outlined in the Draft Zoning Ordinance for City Council consideration.

At the March 20, 2023 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the updated zoning amendments and inclusionary requirements to the City Council by a 6 -0 (1 abstention) vote. The attached Draft Zoning Ordinance and Specific Plan Amendment Ordinance reflect the Commission recommendations. The Planning Commission made no changes to the Draft General Plan resolution that is also included for City Council approval.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments
In order to fully implement the Housing Element for the creation of two new zoning overlay districts, amendments to the City’s General Plan and Zoning Map are required. These amendments revise the General Plan Map and Zoning Map to identify the location of the AHO and MUO sites (Attachment A). Additionally, amendments to the text of the Land Use Element

of the General Plan are also being proposed to establish the overlay districts as a specific land use in the General Plan. Similar revisions to the City’s Zoning Ordinance (“Zoning Code”) are proposed as outlined below. As part of the zoning amendments, farm employee housing provisions are being added to the Zoning Code as required by State law and the adopted Housing Element.

Zoning Ordinance Amendment
The AHO and MUO would permit residential development at up to 30 du/ac on voter approved sites to help the City meet its RHNA obligations, prior to the application of any State density bonus allowance. The majority of the AHO and MUO sites do not currently have zoning that allows for housing, so the overlays introduce development and design standards to integra te new residential development and ensure compatibility with surrounding uses. The proposed standards for multi -family housing govern permitted uses; site design (lot size, dimensions, coverage, internal circulation); building design (height, setbacks, ent rances, massing); parking; and landscaping. The proposed standards are based on the requirements identified in the City’s existing RD20 (20 du/ac) and mixed -use districts, with some modifications to accommodate increased density above 20 du/ac to help make an affordable housing project financially viable for property owners.

An overview of the overlay standards is provided below with an emphasis of the aspects of the RD20 and mixed-use district standards that have been modified to accommodate the 30 du/ac allowance provided in the AHO and MUO.

Density and Affordability
The proposed zoning amendments establish a voluntary program for inclusionary housing in the overlay districts, with no specific requirements that any affordable housing be built. If a propert y owner simply wanted to build retail or office space, add commercial uses, or renovate and enlarge existing buildings on a site consistent with the base zoning, that could be done under the current land use regulations and development standards already es tablished for the site.

However, if the potential financial returns make sense for an affordable housing project or mixed-use development with affordable housing, either on vacant land or with redevelopment of an underutilized site, then the proposed AHO a nd MUO standards establish minimum requirements, including the amount of housing that would have to be affordable to low or very low income renters or owners. The financial evaluation/nexus study has confirmed that allowing residential uses and offering an increase in density to get additional affordable housing for lower income residents is justifiable. The reduction in profitability can be offset by:
· Increases in density, lowering land costs per unit;
· Reductions in development costs with adjustments in standards; and · Modest increases in market rents offset the cost increase and still provide a fair and reasonable return on money invested in a project.

A financial evaluation/nexus study and policy recommendations were completed to establish the

financial viability of an inclusionary requirement. In the letters provided to the Planning Commission, one of the developers questioned the assumptions of the economic analysis, including the development impact fees assumed in the financial modeling. Upon review by staff, it was confirmed that the economic analysis was based on fees cited in the City's previous 2021-2029 Housing Element draft and did not fully account for current 2023 fees and projected increases, as well a recent construction cost and interest rate increases. Staff deems it appropriate to base the economic analysis on the permits fees and costs likely to be in place in 2024, as this will likely be when development in the overlay areas will start. Accordingly, the economic analysis has been updat ed and the results are presented in an addendum to the Keyser Marston Associates (KMA) Study (see Attachment A to Resolution No. 2023-016).

The initial KMA study had determined that the following levels of affordability could be supported in rental apartme nt projects: 10% low income at 20 up to 20% low income at 30 du/ac on a sliding scale. Additionally, the study determined that 5% moderate income (defined as earning less than 120% AMI) requirement can be supported by ownership housing development projects, but that it is not feasible to impose a low income inclusionary housing obligation on ownership projects. This sliding scale inclusionary requirement was presented to the City Council at the January 17, 2023 workshop.

However, based on review of the updated fee estimates, the revised KMA study has determined that the following levels of affordability could be supported in rental apartment projects: 9% low income at 26 du/ac and 13% low income at 30 du/ac. This essentially shifts the base zoning from 20 du /acre as previously analyzed to 26 du/acre. Additionally, the revised analysis determined that a 3% moderate income requirement can be supported by ownership housing development projects at all densities above 26 du/ac and reaffirmed that it is not feasibl e to impose a low income inclusionary housing obligation on ownership projects. The proposed affordability requirements for the overlays have been adjusted to reflect the findings of the revised KMA study, as shown below in Table 1.

The revised sliding scale still only allows for increased density up to a maximum of 30 units per acre if the developer increases the share of affordable housing units built. For example, a rental apartment project proposed at 26 du/ac would be required to make 9% of the units a vailable to lower income households, while a rental project proposed at 30 du/ac would be required to make 13% of the units available to lower income households. The increases in density would be “by right” and would not have to be negotiated on a case -by-case basis, so developers would know up front what density they could expect if they provided a certain number of affordable housing units in the City for low income or very low -income residents. It should be noted that developers may also be eligible for a density bonus, development incentives, and/or concessions under existing State Density Bonus Law, the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022, and other applicable State laws. In such cases, depending on the percentage of affordable units proposed, the allowable density may exceed 30 du/ac based on State law.

Maximum Allowable Density (Units per Adjusted Gross Acre) 26 27 28 29 30
Percent Affordable Units Required in Rental Projects:

Low Income units 9% 10% 11% 12% 13%
In view of financial feasibility challenges, small projects proposing up to 20 units total would have the option to pay an affordable housing fee in lieu of providing affordable units on site as identified in Attachment A to Resolution No. 2023 -016. As directed by the City Council, projects of more than 20 units proposed within the AHO and MUO will be required to construct units on site; however, payment of an in-lieu fee is allowed for larger projects if the Planning Commission makes a finding that providing affordable units on -site would result in an extreme financial hardship to the developer and make the proposed project financially infeasible.

The zoning amendments also allow for land dedication in lieu of onsite construction, provided the land to be dedicated is suitable for the construction of the required number of affordable units identified in Table 1, is located within one mile of the project site, and has a fair market value equivalent to or greater than the amount of in-lieu fees required. Development and design standards applicable in this case would require consistency with the for -sale product. This option is advantageous for the following reasons:
· Affordable housing developers have s pecific expertise in the development and operation of affordable housing projects; and
· Dedicated affordable housing projects have access to State and federal funding sources that are not available to market rate projects. These funding sources provide a more cost-efficient way to achieve deeper affordability than can be supported by an inclusionary housing requirement that is imposed on individual projects with market rate housing on a case-by-case basis.

Parking
Initially, as expressed to the City Council at the January 17, 2023 workshop, the AHO and MUO standards required that off -street parking for all projects be provided in the rear of buildings in the back half of the lot, not between the building and primary street frontage. The intent of the requirement is to enhance walkability and screen parking areas from public view. Based on discussion with developers and the consultant team, the proposed parking requirements have been revised to restrict surface parking for projects that are located along the frontage of Riverside Drive and Central Avenue south of Highway 60. These developments will incorporate landscaping and building designs that engage pedestrians, and are desired to foster walkable, pedestrian-oriented environments. Many peer cities have si milar rules, and the development community has been able to work with such requirements. Further, in the MUO district some accommodation for drop -off spaces, used for retail shopping, and limited guest parking with valet service could be provided with Plan ning Commission approval. For projects located on

streets that are likely to remain auto orientated, these standards would not apply and parking would be allowed adjacent to the streets, as currently outlined in the Zoning Code.

It is important to note, that the total amount of parking identified in the proposed overlays will not change and is the same as required in Chapter 20.18 (Parking) of the Zoning Code for multi - family dwellings, consistent with City Council direction received at the January 17, 2023 workshop. However, to assist with the financial feasibility of projects in the overlays, a reduction in the number of parking spaces required to be covered for higher density projects is proposed, as shown in red below in Table 2. For clarification, words shown in black within the table reflect the existing parking requirement language in the City’s Zoning Code. Red language identifies proposed changes to the existing parking requirement language.

On-Site Open Space and Recreational Amenities
As emphasized by the City Council at the January 17, 202 3 workshop, the provision of adequate common open space and recreational amenities on site is important for ensuring that projects in the AHO and MUO provide a quality of life comparable to that for residents in other parts of the City. The RD20 open space standards were analyzed on typical overlay sites to assess whether the requirements could be met at higher densities; however, it was determined that it would not be possible to accommodate density above 20 du/ac within a three -story building envelope whi le also providing the parking and front setbacks required in the RD20 district. Therefore, certain modifications to the open space standards are proposed to permit higher density development on the overlay sites while also ensuring adequate parking is available.

Whereas RD20 standards require a minimum of 35% of net lot area devoted to permanent open space, that requirement is reduced to 20% in the overlays, and the minimum area to be devoted

to outdoor living area (private or common open space) must be 400 square feet per unit. To allow for flexibility in site planning, the staff is proposing a revision to the proposed standards that would specifically allow landscaped areas that are contiguous to common open space, or connected to such space by walkways, t o be counted in this percentage. The spaces would have to be substantial in size (a minimum dimension of five feet, down from eight feet originally proposed), so slivers of planting strips in the parking lot, for example, would not count as common open space.

Additionally, if necessary to enable provision of common open space for recreational facilities, building height of up to 45 feet in the AHO and up to 55 feet in the MUO is allowed, provided the buildings are clustered on the site. Further, the RD20 requirement for front setbacks of 25 feet is reduced to 15 feet in the overlays, given that parking is to be provided in the rear of the buildings This modification also encourages walkable site design within the overlays.

Section 20.17.050.C of the Zoning C ode requires the development of major and minor recreational facilities in proposed multi -family developments. These requirements will necessitate the use of more land than may be available in a high -density project. As such, the AHO and MUO standards allo w for the development of "essential recreational facilities" in high density multi-family or mixed -use developments with a minimum of 25 du/ac. These essential recreational facilities may include: 1) a gym or fitness room, 2) space for yoga, dance, or othe r instruction, 3) enclosed or outdoor space for playing courts or games, 4) children's play area, 5) picnic and barbeque area, or 6) children’s daycare space. At least 250 square feet per unit must be provided for these recreational facilities, and there m ust be a minimum of two of these facilities in projects with 10 -50 units, three of these facilities in projects with 51 -100 units, and four or more of these facilities in projects with more than 100 units. No essential recreational facilities are required in a small project, with less than 10 dwelling units. In the interest of providing additional flexibility to meet this requirement, the amount of space that could be in a building used for recreational purposes is 15% of the total amount required and also allow the space to be within a mixed use building.

Site and Building Design
The site design standards proposed for the AHO and MUO cover lot area, lot dimensions, lot coverage, landscaping, setbacks and internal circulation. An important emphasis in both overlays is on creating pedestrian -oriented development that provides a safe, walkable environment. For that reason, site design standards promote the inclusion of plazas, interior walkways, canopies, arcades, outdoor living areas, and recreational faciliti es in high density projects.

The building design standards proposed for the AHO and MUO cover height, upper story setbacks, entrances, building articulation, and massing. The standards are intended to prevent “boxy” buildings and produce visually engaging designs. Long walls are required to incorporate recesses or offsets as well as variations in roof height to prevent “boxy” shapes. Additionally, for projects that are adjacent to a residential district, the standards require additional upper story setbacks above three stories or utilize architectural articulation such as popouts, changes in

vertical wall planes, or balconies.

To help illustrate the type of residential and mixed-use projects likely to result from the proposed design standards, representative projects from other communities in the surrounding region are presented in Attachment B.

Project Approval Process
Under State law, a conditional use permit procedure cannot be used for affordable housing, and cities cannot impose a public hearing requirem ent or grant the City Council discretionary decision-making responsibilities for density bonuses for affordable housing on commercial sites as the City Council currently has under the City’s residential density bonus program if certain development incentiv es are requested. Therefore, approval of residential development and mixed-use development with residential units in the AHO and MUO would be done in accordance with the Site Approval process outlined under Section 20.23.090 of the Zoning Code. This reflects direction received from the City Council at the January 17 workshop.

A preliminary review process would be conducted at the staff level to determine whether the proposed development is in substantial compliance with the applicable planning regulations, including the objective development and design standards incorporated into the Zoning Code with the adoption of the AHO and MUO. To facilitate this review, the City's existing Preliminary Review Checklist would be updated to reflect the AHO and MUO require ments. Design review by the Planning Commission would involve a checklist style review to confirm compliance with the objective development and design standards using the City’s Site Approval procedures. The Planning Commission would have the authority to impose reasonable conditions to ensure that the provisions of the General Plan or any applicable specific plan are met, including requirements for needed off -site public improvements. This process would ensure compliance with State law, reducing the time a nd costs required for development approvals for projects in the AHO and MUO areas and helping to ensure that new development contributes to the character of the community. Certain smaller affordable projects in the overlays may also be exempt from CEQA if they meet the criteria stipulated in Section 15194 of the CEQA Guidelines.

Allowable Uses: Public Storage Facility in MUO Overlay
At the workshop with the City Council on January 17, 2023, the proposal to incorporate public storage into mixed use facilitie s was not discussed. Subsequently, developer comments noted that self -storage accessibility is an amenity increasingly necessary for cities experiencing growth of medium to high density units, allowing residents to store goods such as mountain bikes, kayak s, furniture, collectibles, business items, and out -of-season clothing that might otherwise be in garages. Comments recommended that the City should permit such uses in mixed use projects.

Staff believes this is a reasonable proposal. Public/Mini Storage i s currently only allowed in the Business Park (BP), Light Industrial (M1), and General Industrial (M2) zoning districts with approval of a special conditional use permit. Development standards for public storage are set forth in Section 20.21.220. This use could be allowed in the MUO district on large sites, subject

to some additional standards to ensure land use compatibility. The full requirements for incorporating a public storage facility in a mixed use project are outlined in the draft ordinance.

These provisions include that the site must be a minimum of 5 acres, the storage facility can’t exceed the height of the residential development and the building must be setback from neighboring streets and include architectural elements that match the resident ial and commercial buildings on-site.

Specific Plan Amendments
As mentioned, the AHO and MUO sites are spread throughout the City. Some of the sites are located within three of the City’s existing specific plan areas: the Eucalyptus Business Park Specific Plan, the Majestic Spectrum Specific Plan, and the East Chino Specific Plan.

Amendments to these specific plans are required to provide for consistency with the proposed General Plan and Zoning Code changes. The specific plans are being amended primarily to refer back to Chapter 20.09 (Overlay Districts) of the Zoning Code to allow for projects to be developed under standards that are located within one of the three specific plan areas. The amendments also include other minor amendments to the specific pla ns as outlined in the draft City Council Ordinance No. 2023-009.

AHO and MUO District In-Lieu Fee
In Section 20.09.090 (Overlay Districts for Affordable Housing) of Ordinance No. 2023 -008, in- lieu fee payment options are established for projects that are b etween 10 and 20 units, recognizing that the construction of affordable housing has a disproportionate impact on smaller projects. The draft ordinance also outlines that the funds submitted to the City for affordable housing are to be deposited into an newly created Overlay District Affordable Housing Fund that provides provisions on how the funds are to be implemented. The in -lieu fee payment amounts have been developed based on the Financial Evaluation/Nexus Study, as outlined in Attachment A to Resolutio n No. 2023 -016. The established in -lieu fee payment amounts are based upon a per inclusionary unit cost and per square foot of leasable/saleable area within a 100% market rate project. Approval of Resolution No. 2023 -016 by the City Council is required to formally establish affordable housing in -lieu fees in the AHO and MUO districts. A fund account number for the Overlay District Affordable Housing Fund will be created and adopted at a later date. The fee will be increased on an annual basis as outlined in the resolution.

Farm Employee Housing
As part of the zoning amendments, farm employee housing provisions are being added to the Zoning Code as required by California Health and Safety Code Sections 17021.5 and 17021.6 and Program Action 2G of the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element.

PUBLIC NOTICE
A one-quarter page notice was published in the Chino Champion on March 25, 2023 and the City sent information out on the City’s social media platforms. Notices were also mailed to all the Overlay District Site property owners. The notice exceeds the legal noticing requirements and is adequate in scope for this project.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Addendum to the Housing Element Update Environmental Negative Declaration (SCH No. 2021100569) (ND), dated February 8, 2023 ha s been prepared for this project by RECON Environmental. As outlined in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15164, an Addendum is the appropriate environmental document if only minor technical additions are needed and if there wo uld be no substantial changes to the project as previously proposed or to the circumstances under which the project was undertaken. The Addendum concluded that the proposed project would not create any new significant impacts or impacts that are significan tly different than those identified in the original ND. In addition, the project would not substantially increase the severity of any previously identified significant impacts.

Therefore, the proposed project is within the scope of the Housing Element Upda te ND. As noted in the background section, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council approve the project as amended and approve the Addendum.

CITY OF CHINO

ADDENDUM TO ADOPTED INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION
This document is an Addendum to the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update Initial Study/Negative Declaration (IS/ND) (State Clearinghouse No. 2021100569) that was adopted by the City Council in January 2022, hereafter referred to as “ 2022 IS/ND”). The Addendum analyzes the environmental effects of the proposed project in light of the 2022 IS/ND, which analyzed potential environmental impacts associated with the development of candidate housing sites identified in the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. The Addendum has been prepared in accordance with relevant provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970 (as amended) and the State CEQA Guidelines.

According to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines, an addendum to a previously certifi ed Environmental Impact Report ( EIR) or Negative Declaration is the appropriate environmental document in instances when “only minor technical changes or additions are necessary” and when the new information does not involve new significant environmental effects beyond those identified in the previous EIR. The analysis herein demonstrates that the proposed addendum involves only minor technical changes to the 2022 IS/ND and would not result in any new or increased severity significant environmental effects beyond those identified in the 2022 IS/ND. As such, an addendum is the appropriate environmental document under CEQA.

8. Statement of Environmental Findings
An Addendum to the IS/ND for the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update was prepared by the City , Development Services Department to evaluate whether the proposed Zoning , General Plan , and Specific Plan Amendments for 6th Cycle Housing Element Update Implementation Project (project) would result in any new significant impacts or increased severity of impacts beyond those identified in the 2022 IS/ND for the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. As Lead Agency under CEQA, and based on the findings contained in the attached Addendum, the City has determined that the project would not have any new or more severe impacts that were not previously identified in the 2022 IS/ND for the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. The City also finds that the Addendum reflects the City’s independent judgment.

The location and custodian of the documents and any other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City bases its determination to adopt this Addendum are as follows:

9. Previous Environmental Document
The 2022 IS/ND determined that implementation of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update would not result in any significant impacts on the environment.

10. Summary of Original Project
The City prepared the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update to identify the City’s housing needs and outline goals, policies, and programs to address them. The Housing Element evaluated ways to

accommodate the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) of 6,978 new housing units allocated to the City by the Southern California Association of Governments. Table 1 presents the City’s RHNA allocation by income category. To this end, the City completed a parcel-specific land inventory that identified an inventory of candidate housing sites that could accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation. Through this process, the City demonstrated the capacity to accommodate up to a total of 8,528 candidate housing units on a total of approximately 738.46 acres comprised of 122 parcels throughout the City, as follows: existing capacity within The Preserve Specific Plan (The Preserve) and Rancho Miramonte area; application of the proposed Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO) and Mixed Use Overlay (MUO) ; and development of future Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). The 6th Cycle Housing Element Update anticipated that T he Preserve and Rancho Miramonte would have the potential capacity to accommodate up to 3,773 housing units, the AHO and MUO would have the potential to accommodate up to 4,435 units, and that approximately 320 ADUs would be constructed during the 2021 -2029 planning period. Overall, the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update identified candidate sites that would yield 8,528 potential housing units within the City, which represents a buffer of 1,550 housing units , or 22 percent over and above the total required RHNA allocation of 6,978 housing units . The buffer allows the City to navigate the "no net loss” provisions of State Housing Element law in the event that sites on the inventory do not develop as projected in the Housing Element.

In addition to identifying an inventory of housing, adoption of the Housing Element required future action by the City to implement identified programs intended to assist in meeting the goals and policies of the Housing Element.

The 2022 IS/ND evaluated whether the Housing Element Update would result in a significant impact as defined by CEQA. The 2022 IS/ND included an analysis of all Housing Element component parts including future implementation of overlay zones that would establish the AHO and MUO. The 2022 IS/ND noted that the City would complete these overlay zoning actions through implementation of Programs 3B and 3C , which would include detailed development standards, permitted uses, and other development characteristics for the overlay zones.

11. Project Site Existing Conditions
The City is located within the west end of San Bernardino County (County), bordered by Los Angeles County to the northwest, Riverside County to the southeast, and is located two miles north of the Orange County border. The City is specifically located within the Chino Valley, and is surrounded by the cities of Pomona and Montclair to the north, the City of Ontario to the northeast and east, City

of Eastvale to the southeast, City of Corona to the south, and City of Chino Hills to the west. Regional access to the City is provided primarily via State Route (SR) 60 and SR-71. SR-60, or Pomona Freeway, runs east-west and bisects the northern portion of the City , while SR-71, or Chino Valley Freeway, runs north-south along the City’s western border. Figure 1 presents the City’s location in a regional context and Figure 2 presents the City in a local context.

The City covers approximately 18,938 acres of land area, or 29.6 square miles. The City’s topography is relatively flat with elevations ranging from approximately 700 to 800 above mean sea level. As described above, the City is constrained for the most part by neighboring municipalities. Additionally, the Chino Creek, a major stream, runs diagonally in a north-south direction along the City’s western border.

The City is predominantly comprised of residential land uses, with other major land uses including the California Institution for Men and the California Institution for Women, the Chino Airport, as well as industrial and manufacturing uses. Most of the City’s residential development is located north of Schaefer Avenue, though some is located in The Preserve, College Park, and East Chino.

12. Project Description
The project implements Programs 3B, 3C, and 2G identified in the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update, which require the City to adopt regulations creating a set of zoning amendments for an AHO, a MUO, and F armworker Housing. The project also inclu des zoning amendments to create an inclusionary housing fee program as a companion action , as well as amendments to three Specific Plans for consistency with overlay standards . Details of each project component are described in greater detail below. Figure 3 presents the location of the candidate housing sites and overlay zones.

Subsequent to adoption of the 2022 IS/ND by the City Council in January 2022, the California State Department of Housing and Community Development has reviewed and commented on upda ted versions of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. During this iterative review process, it was determined that the candidate housing sites would have the potential to yield an additional 184 units beyond what was anticipated in the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND.

Based on this iterative review process with the California State Department of Housing and Community Development, the development assumptions for the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update have been revised as follows:
• The total number of residential units with in The Preserve and Rancho Miramonte has decreased from 3,773 to 3,772 (-1).
• The number of ADU residential units has decreased from 320 to 160 (-160). • The number of AHO residential units has increased from 2,193 to 2,233 (+40). • The number of MUO residential units has increased from 2,242 to 2,547 (+305).

Addendum to the 2022 IS/ND for the Housing Element Update Zoning, General Plan, and Specific Plan Amendments for the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update Implementation Project

Page 8 ends

Overall, the updated version of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update would potentially allow for the development of an additional 184 units compared to what was evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND, increasing the total potential yield to 8,712 candidate housing units. It should be noted that number of candidate housing sites has not changed, nor has the acreage available for development within the candidate housing sites changed. The candidate housing sites inventory still consists of 122 parcels totaling approximately 738.46 acres of land. Similarly, the maximum density standards that would be applied to the candidate housing sites has remained the same compared to what was evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. Consequently, the project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. Furthermore, the additional 184 units that have been identified in the updated 6th Cycle Housing Element Update would be subj ect to the same regulatory and mitigation requirements identified in the 2022 IS/ND.

Affordable Housing Overlay
Implementation of Program 3B of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update would apply the AHO to 166.5 acres of land as shown in Figure 3 and allow for development of housing at up to 30 dwelling units per ac (du/ac) to help the City meet its RHNA obligations. The AHO would be voluntary, and property owners of sites to which it applies would still be able to develop or redevelop their properties consistent with the base zoning, which is largely non -residential. However, in the event that owners elect to develop higher density housing, compliance with the standards shown on Table 2 would be required.

Table 2
Development Standards for the AHO District
Feature Standard
Other Requirements
Street Curb Cuts See Note 6
1Additional floor area ratio is allowed up to 1.25 for projects with affordable rental units. The amount of additional floor area ratio shall be calculated based on the same proportional increase in density allowed for qualifying projects meeting affordable housing criteria. For example, if a project receives a 25 percent increase in density, then it receives a 25 percent increase in allowable floor area ratio.
2Additional height is allowed up to 45 feet for lots with at least 100 feet of primary street frontage to enable provision of common open space for recreational facilities. The upper story above 35 feet shall be setback back an additional seven feet from the interior property line if the project is adjacent to a Residential zoning district. 3The front setback may be reduced to 10 feet on the following streets: Riverside, Central, and Euclid. 4A minimum 20-foot setback must be provided for garages and carports facing a street. 5Open or covered porches may be constructed in the front and street side setbacks to encroach no closer than 12 feet to the front property line and 5 feet to the street side property line. 6New street curb cuts are not allowed on lots with alley access unless approved by the Director of Development Services and the City Engineer to accommodate affordable housing units.

The proposed standards are based on the standards of the City's existing Residential (RD20) zoning district, with the following modifications intended to incentivize and support the financial feasibility of affordable housing projects:
• Covered Parking: In multi-family developments of 20 du/ac or more, parking may be either covered or uncovered and on-site parking shall be in the rear of buildings in the back half of the lot or development site.
• Building Heights: Additional height up to a maximum of 45 feet is available to projects if needed to ensure the adequate provision of the required common open space and on- site recreational amenities.
• Common Open Space: A minimum of 65 percent of the required outdoor living area shall be provided as common open space accessible to the living units on the lot with a minimum horizontal dimension of 20 feet.
• On-site Recreational Amenities: In lieu of the requirements of major and minor facilities in Section 20.17.050 (C) of the Chino Municipal Code (CMC), which require more land than may be available in a high -density project, developments with a minimum of 25 dwelling units per gross adjusted acre may construct fewer on -site facilities provided they are of higher quality. Recreational faciliti es may include gyms; fitness rooms; space for yoga, dance, or other instruction; playing courts; children's play areas; picnic and barbeque areas; or children’s daycare space. At least 250 square feet per unit shall be provided for these recreational facilities, and there shall be a minimum of two of these facilities in projects with 10-50 units, three of these facilities in projects with 51- 100 units, and four or more of these facilities in projects with more than 100 units. No essential recreational facilities are required in a small project, with less than ten dwelling units.

The proposed standards would not create any new capacity over and above that previously analyzed in the 2022 IS/ND, nor would they require or guarantee that development projects within the AHO

be developed at 30 du/ac, the maximum permitted prior to the application of any State density bonus. The proposed AHO would provide a streamlined permit approval process from what is now required for projects seeking a density bonus under the City’s residential density bonus program in Chapter 20.14 of the Zoning Ordinance, but would still allow for a checklist type of design review by the Planning Commission using the City’s Site Approval procedures.

Mixed Use Overlay
Implementation of Program 3C of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update would apply the MUO to 173.2 acres of land as shown in Figure 3 and allow for development of housing at up to 30 du/ac to help the City meet its RHNA obligations. As with the AHO, use of the MUO would be voluntary, and property owners of sites to which it applies would still be able to develop or redevelop their properties consistent with the base zoning, which is largely non -residential. However, in the event that owners elect to develop higher density housing, compliance with the standards shown on Table 3 would be required.

The proposed standards are based on the standards of the City's existing Mixed Use zoning district, with the following modifications intended to incentivize and support the financial feasibility of affordable housing projects:
• Covered Parking: In multi-family developments of 20 du/ac or more, parking may be either covered or uncovered and on-site parking shall be in the rear of buildings in the back half of the lot or development site.
• Building Heights: Additional height up to a maximum of 55 feet is available to projects if needed to ensure the adequate provision of the required common open spac e and on-site recreational amenities.
• Common Open Space: A minimum of 65 percent of the required outdoor living area shall be provided as common open space accessible to the living units on the lot with a minimum horizontal dimension of 20 feet.
• On-site Recreational Amenities: In lieu of the requirements of major and minor facilities in Section 20.17.050 (C) of the CMC which require more land than may be available in a high - density project, developments with a minimum of 25 dwelling units per gross adjusted acre may construct fewer on -site facilities provided they are of higher quality. Recreational facilities may include gyms; fitness rooms; space for yoga, dance, or other instruction; playing courts; children's play areas; picnic and barbeque areas; or children’s daycare space. At least 250 square feet per unit shall be provided for these recreational facilities, and there shall be a minimum of two of these facilities in projects with 10 -50 units, three of these facilities in projects with 51-100 units, and four or more of these facilities in projects with more than 100 units. No essential recreational facilities are required in a small project, with less than 10 dwelling units.

The proposed standards would not create any new capacity over and above that previously analyzed in the 2022 IS/ND, nor would they require or guarantee that development projects within the MUO be developed at 30 du/ac, the maximum permitted prior to the application of any State density bonus. The proposed MUO would provide a streamlined permit approval process from what is now required for projects seeking a density bonus under the City’s residential density bonus program in Chapter 20.14 of the Zoning Ordinance but would still allow for a checklist type of design review by the Planning Commission using the City’s Site Approval procedures.

Farmworker Housing
To implement state law and Housing Element policies regarding F armworker Housing, the project proposes zoning amendments that would permit Farmworker Housing with no more than 12 units or 36 beds by -right in agricultural zones without a Special Conditional Use Permit or any other discretionary review, such as a site approval. Th ese particular zoning amendments would support the City’s agricultural economy by providing housing for the labor force that works in the dairies, the fields, and in related agricultural businesses.

These zoning amendments would expand housing opportunities for farmworkers, as required by Assembly Bill (AB) 1783 (2019) and as envisioned in the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. The

Page 12 ends

zoning amendments would establish a streamlined review process, with “b y-right” approvals, for qualifying projects (no more than 36 beds in group quarters or 12 single -family units). They also would require the City to treat a single- family dwelling housing six or fewer employees as a residential structure and single-family use, which would only need to meet the standards that apply to other single-family homes in the zoning district where it is located.

Qualifying projects would be exempt for environmental review and CEQA clearance. Large projects would have to be approved wi thin specified time limits and site approval by the Planning Commission would be required.

The proposed zoning amendments would set limits on where Farmworker Housing could be located (e.g., not in hazardous locations or in open space areas subject to a ha bitat conservation plan) and on the fees that can be charged (they cannot be different from those that would apply to other agricultural activities). The zoning amendments would include standards for setbacks, maximum height, minimum sleeping area in group quarters, outdoor living area and recreational facilities, exterior lighting, off-street parking setbacks, water and wastewater disposal, and minimum periods of occupancy.

Inclusionary Housing Program
The proposed Inclusionary Housing Program would ensure that a minimum amount of affordable housing units be built in new development, with an option for certain projects below a minimum size to pay a fee in lieu of producing the affordable units on-site. The program does not change the City’s land use regulat ions or the density set by base district zones or overlay zones. Therefore, the Inclusionary Housing Program would not have an impact on buildout under the General Pla n (GP) or the Zoning Ordinance as amended by the proposed AHO, MUO, or Farmworker Housing amendments.

Specific Plan Amendments
Some of the overlay sites are located within the boundaries of the East Chino, Majestic Spectrum, and Eucalyptus Business Park Specific Plan areas. Accordingly, these specific plans would be amended for consistency with the land use and development standards proposed for the overlays.

A summary of the amendments needed to each Specific Plan is provided below.

East Chino Specific Plan (ECSP)
• The following would be identified as a residential objective of the ECSP:
(a) Provide sites for affordable housing with an AHO and a MUO as established on the City’s Zoning Ordinance on land identified in the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update; • Definitions for the AHO and MUO would be added to the list of overlay districts; • The table of Land Use Categories and Designations would be updated to incorporate the AHO and MUO;

• The description of site planning concepts would be updated to clarify that mixed use development in either a horizontal or vertical format is permitted in areas subject to the MUO and to stipulate standards for active ground floor frontages in those areas; and • Provisions establishing purpose, boundaries, permitted uses, site development standards, design guidelines, and affordability in both the AHO and MUO would be added to the section on Overlay District Regulations.

Eucalyptus Business Park Specific Plan (EBPSP)
• The Project Description would be amended to identify the AHO and MUO Overlay Designations among the major land use categories permitted; • The following would be identified among the primary goals of the EBPSP:

4. Provide opportunities for the development of affordable housing at appropriate locations, consistent with the General Plan Housing Element and Measure Y (2022); • Residential land uses consistent with th e 6th Cycle Housing Element Update would be identified as Land Use Objectives and Concepts;
• Figure IV-2 illustrating the location of overlay sites within the EBPSP would be added; and • Section of the EBPSP containing design guidelines and development regulations would be updated to clarify that Chapter 20.09 of the City of Chino Zoning Ordinance shall apply to housing projects proposed within the AHO and MUO.

Majestic Spectrum Specific Plan
• Amendment #16 would be added to the table of amend ments for the MUO, including date and ordinance number, and a description of the amendments would be added on page 45; • The section on Development Standards would be updated to clarify that Chapter 20.09 of the City of Chino Zoning Ordinance shall apply to housing projects proposed within the MUO;
• The section on Parking Standards would be updated to clarify that the standards of City of Chino Zoning Ordinance apply to residential -only and mixed -use development with residential units in the area subject to the MUO, and that no covered parking is required for residential and mixed-use development; and
• Text would be added to clarify that residential and mixed -use development in the MUO designated area are only subject to the development and design standards esta blished in Chapter 20.09 for the MUO, and that only these design standards shall be considered by the Planning Commission in the site approval process for projects in this area.

General Plan Amendments
To ensure the internal consistency of the General Plan as required under State law, the following targeted amendments to the Land Use Element of the General Plan would be made:
• Figure LU-2 General Plan Land Use would be amended to show the location of the overlay sites.
• Figure LU-3 Future Growth Plan would be amended to remove overlay sites shown on this map, given that the process for development of Focused Growth Plan parcels outlined in the General Plan has been completed with the adoption of the zoning amendments for the overlays.
• Under Objective LU-1.1, add Policy P4:

Allow for high density residential development at up to 30 du/ac within the Affordable Housing and Mixed Use Zoning Overlays consistent with Measure Y, approved by Chino voters in June 2022.

15. Determination
Based on all available information in light of the entire record, the analysis in this Addendum, and pursuant to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the City has determined the following:
• There are no substantial changes proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous environmental document due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
• Substantial changes have not occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous environmental document due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or • There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous environmental document was certified as complete or was adopted, shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous environmental document;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous environmental document;
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different frorn those analyzed in the previous environmental would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

Based upon a review of the current project, none of the situations described in Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines apply. No changes in circumstances have occurred, and no new information of substantial importance has manifested, which would result in new significant or substantially increased adverse impacts as a result of the project. Therefore, this Addendum has been prepared in accordance with Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The 6th Cycle Housing Element Update IS/ND has been incorporated by reference pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15150. Public review of this Addendum is n t required per CEQA.

15.1 Aesthetics
Scenic Vistas
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that all future development projects would be subject to the City’s development review process, which may include review pursuant to CEQA, and would be required to comply with applicable City GP policies and CMC standards, as well as specific plan design guidelines to ensure that any proposed building heights would be consistent with the scale of surrounding and existing development. Therefore, future housing development would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. Although the project would increase the allowable density at certain sites, which could increase development intensity, all future housing development would be subject to applicable City GP policies, CMC standards, and Specific Plan design guidelines that ensure future building designs would be compatible with the surrounding environment , as documented in the 2022 IS/ND. Although the project would allow for increased building heights within the AHO and MUO, buildings allowed an additional floor would be subject to clustering requirements that would reduce the potential of blocking views. Furthermore, buildings allowed an additional floor would be located in areas surrounded by existing development that do not afford views. Therefore, the project would not have a new or substantially greater adverse effect on a scenic vista than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

Scenic Resources
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that there are no eligible or officially designated scenic highways within the boundaries of the City. The nearest eligible state scenic highway is a segment of SR -91 located approximately 0.25 miles south of the City’s southern boundary. The nearest officially designated highway is a segment of SR-55 approximately four miles southwest of the City’s southern boundary.

The 2022 IS/ ND determined that adherence to applicable City GP policies and CMC standards, including those intended to protect scenic resources, would ensure that future housing development would not substantially damage scenic resources, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. Furthermore, all future housing development would be subject to applicable City GP policies and CMC standards, including those intended to protect scenic resources, as documented in the 2022 IS/ND. Therefore,

the project would not result in new or substantial ly greater damage to any scenic resources than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

Visual Character and Quality
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that adherence to applicable City GP policies and CMC standards that would be verified through the City’s development review process, would ensure that future housing development would not substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. Additionally, all future housing developmen t would be subject to the applicable City GP policies and CMC standards, including those that protect against degradation of visual resources by requiring project modifications, as needed, as documented in the 2022 IS/ND. While the project changes could allow for more intense development at certain housing sites, adherence to the applicable City GP policies and CMC standards would continue to regulate setbacks, height, bulk, and design in the same manner as documented in the 2022 IS/ND. Therefore, t he project would not result in new or substantially greater impacts relating to the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

Light and Glare
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that adherence to applicable requirements concerning light and glare as required in the California Green Building Standards (CALGreen) Code (Title 24 Part 11) and the City GP, as well as applicable design guidelines listed in The Preserve EIR for relevant projects , would ensure that future housing development would not create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area , and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. While there could be an increase in density at some locations consistent with the latest version of the Housing Element Update, all future housing development would be subject to the applicable requirements concerning light and glare as required in the CALGreen Code (Title 24 Part 11) and the City GP, as well as applicable design guidelines listed in The Preserve EIR for relevant projects, as documented in the 2022 IS/ND. Therefore, the project would not create a new or substantially greater source of light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

15.2 Agriculture Resources
Important Farmland
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would be located in areas tha t were evaluated for impacts to important farmland in the City GP EIR, The Preserve EIR , Edgewater Communities Specific Plan (Edgewater) EIR, and 2016 Edgewater EIR Addendum . The 6th Cycle Housing Element Update did not include any sites that were not evaluated in these previous environmental documents. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not result in impacts related to the conversion of Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non -agricultural use beyond what was evaluated in the previous environmental documents, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND . Therefore, the project would not result in greater impacts related to the conversion of Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non-agricultural use than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

Agricultural Zoning and Williamson Act
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that none of the candidate housing sites would be located on properties currently zoned for agricultural uses. The 2022 IS/ND also determined that while candidate housing sites would not be located on properties protected by active Williamson Act contracts, some housing would be located on properties with contracts in non -renewal within The Preserve and Rancho Miramonte areas. However, contracts in non-renewal have already been planned for urban uses, and associated impacts were determined to be significant and unavoidable under The Preserve EIR and Edgewater EIR. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not result in impacts related to conflicts with Williamson Act contracts beyond what was evaluated in the City GP EIR, Preserve EIR, or Edgewater EIR, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND . Therefore, the project would not result in greater impacts related to conflicts with existing agricultural zoning or Williamson Act contracts than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

Forest Land Zoning
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined there is no forest land or timberland located within the City. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as de fined in Public Resources Code Section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code Section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code Section 51104(g)). No impact would occur.

Project
There is no change to the analysis provided in the 2022 IS/ND. No forest land or timberland, or land zoned as forest land are located within the City. Therefore, no new or more severe impacts would occur.

Forest Land
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined there is no forest land or timberland located within the City. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not r esult in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use. No impact would occur.

Project
There is no change to the analysis provided in the 2022 IS/ND. No forest land or timberland are located within the City. Therefore, no new or more severe impacts would occur.

Indirect Conversion
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would be located in areas that were evaluated for impacts to important farmland in the City GP EIR, Preserve EIR , Edgewater EIR, and 2016 Edgewater EIR Addendum. The 2022 IS/ND also determined that future development would be required to comply with right-to-farm provisions and use compatibility findings that would promote continued agricultural use on areas specifically designated for long-term agricultural use. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not result in impacts related to indirect conversion of farmland beyond what was evaluated in the City GP EIR, Preserve EIR, Edgewater EIR, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND . Therefore,

the project would not result in greater impacts related to indirect conversion of farmland than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

15.3 Air Quality
Consistency with Air Quality Plans
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that candidate housing sites located within The Preserve and Rancho Miramonte areas were previously evaluated in The Preserve EIR, Edgewater EIR, and 2016 Edgewater EIR Addendum and would be subject to the applicable mitigation framework. Additionally, future housing development would also be subject the City’s development review process , which may include review pursuant to CEQA, and be required to comply with applicable City GP policies and CMC standards, as well as required to adhere to all federal, state, and local regulations for minimizing construction and oper ational pollutant emissions, including applicable South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rules. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not c onflict with or obstruct implementation of the 2016 AQMP, and impa cts would be less than significant.

Cumulative Net Increases of Criteria Pollutants
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that candidate housing sites located within The Preserve and Rancho Miramonte areas were previously evaluated in The Preserve EIR, Edgewater EIR, and 2016 Edgewater EIR Addendum and would be subject to the applicable mitigation framework. Additionally, future housing development would also be subject the City’s development review process and would be required to demonstrate compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations in effect at the time of development, including applicable City GP policies and CMC standards . Furthermore, future housing development would be required to demonstrate that volatile organ ic compounds (VOC), oxides of nitrogen ( NOX), carbon monoxide ( CO), oxides of sulfur ( SOX), particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter ( PM10), and particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter ( PM2.5) emissions would be below the significance thresholds for both construction and operational activities. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant

for which the Southern California Air Basin is in nonattainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard, and impacts would be less than significant.

Therefore, the project would not result in a new or substantially greater cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project re gion is non- attainment, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

Sensitive Receptors
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ ND determined that c ompliance with various measures (e.g., 13 California Code of Regulations [CCR] 2449 and 13 CCR 2485) required by state law would reduce diesel particulate matter (DPM) emissions to below acceptable thresholds. The 2022 IS/ND also determined that future housing development would require further evaluation through the City’s development review process to demonstrate that both daily construction emissions and operations would not exceed SCAQMD’s significance thresholds for any criteria air pollutant. Furthermore, candidate housing sites located within The Preserve and Rancho Miramonte areas were previously evaluated in The Preserve EIR, Edgewater EIR, and 2016 Edgewater EIR Addendum and would be subject to the applicable mitigation framework. Therefore, the 202 2 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, and impacts would be less than significant.

Similarly, future housing development would require further evaluation through the City’s development review process to demonstrate that both daily construction emissions and operations would not exceed SCAQMD’s significance thresholds for any criteria air pollutant. Furthermore,

candidate Housing sites located within The Preserve and Rancho Miramonte areas were previously evaluated in The Preserve EIR, Edgewater EIR, and 2016 Ed gewater EIR Addendum and would be subject to the applicable mitigation framework. Therefore, the project would not e xpose sensitive receptors to new or substantial ly greater pollutant concentrations than previously analyzed , and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

Odors
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that while construction of future housing development could result in odors generated from vehicles and/or equipment exhaust emissions , such odors would be temporary and disperse rapidly. The 2022 IS/ND also determined that the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update did not propose any development, nor include any land uses, which have been identified by the SCAQMD as operational odor sources. Therefore, the 202 2 IS/ND determined that the future housing development would not result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. Furthermore, the project would not introduce any odor generating land uses that were not considered in the 2022 IS/ND. Therefore, the project would not generate a greater amount of emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

15.4 Biological Resources
Sensitive Species
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would be located in areas that were previously evaluated in the City GP EIR, Preserve EIR, Edgewater EIR, and 2016 Edgewater EIR Addendum and would be subject to the applicable mitigation framework. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not result in impacts on sensitive species beyond what was evaluated in the previous environmental documents, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND . Therefore, the project would not have a new or substantially greater adverse effect on any sensitive species than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

Riparian Habitat and other Sensitive Natural Communities 2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development located in areas that were previously evaluated in the Preserve EIR, Edgewater EIR, and 2016 Edgewater EIR Addendum would be subject to the applicable mitigation framework. Furthermore, a ll future housing development would be required to comply with applicable federal, state, and local requirements, including applicable City GP policies. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not result in impacts on riparian habitat and other sensitive natural communities beyond what was evaluated in the previous environmental documents, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. Therefore, the project would not have a new or substantial ly greater adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community than previously analyzed , and impacts would be less th an significant. No new impact would occur.

Wetlands
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that most development would occur above the 566-foot elevation line where wetlands and jurisdictional waters are extremely limited and w ould not have an impact on these sensitive biological resources. Future housing development located in areas that were previously evaluated in the Preserve EIR, Edgewater EIR, and 2016 Edgewater EIR Addendum would be subject to the applicable mitigation framework. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not result in impacts on wetlands beyond what was evaluated in the previous environmental documents, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND . Therefore, the project would not have a new or substantially greater adverse effect on state o r federally protected wetlands than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant . No new impact would occur.

15.8 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development could potentially result in an increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, future housing development would be subject to the City’s development review process, CEQA evaluation, and plan check process, which may require future applicants prepare air quality and GHG emission studies using the California Emissions Estimator Model. The 2022 IS/ND also determined that candidate housing sites, including projected ADUs and future AHO and MUO sites, would be located in urbanized areas of the City in either existing residential or non -residential land use designation and zoning that were evaluated in the City GP EIR. As discussed in the Chino GP EIR, Chino GP objectives AQ-1.1 and AQ-1.2 aim to preserve and improve air quality in the City and the region by reducing emissions through VMT reduction.

The Chino GP EIR analyzed the VMTs in the City boundary for the Chino GP, which included the candidate housing site areas. Therefore, the City GP EIR considered potential VMT associated with development of the candidate housing site areas , which would offset VMT from future residential development facilitated by the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update.

Future housing development would also be required to meet the mandatory energy requirements of CALGreen and the California Energy Code (CCR Title 24, Part 6) in effect at the time of development. These regulations require that new development incorporate design features to capture energy efficiencies associated with building heating, ventilating, and air conditioning mechanical systems, water heating systems, and lighting. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not g enerate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment, and impacts would be less than significant.

Accidental Release
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that excavation and grading activities associated with future housing development could expose construction workers and the general public to unknown hazardous materials present in soil or groundwater. However, future housing development would be reviewed to confirm compliance with all applicable requirements, including the City’s development review process, and be subject to compliance with the established regulatory framework for minimizing upset associated with hazardous materials. Additionally, development of candidate housing sites would generate less hazardous materials compared to what would be generated under more intensive commercial, industrial, and mixed use s. Furthermore, future housing development within The Preserve would adhere to The Preserve EIR mitigation measure HM-3, which requires preparation of a project-specific Phase I Environmental Site Assessment for any property currently or historically involving hazardous materials or waste . Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND.

0.25 mile of an existing or proposed school . However, future housing development would not typically emit hazardous materials, substances, and wastes that are more hazardous than that of more intense uses such as commercial, ind ustrial, and mixed uses. Furthermore, future housing development would be subject to the City’s development review process, which may include review pursuant to CEQA, and be required to comply with applicable City GP policies and CMC standards, as well as applicable regulations related to the emissions or handling of hazardous materials, substances, or wastes near schools. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not e mit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within 0.25 mile of an existing or proposed school, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. Therefore, the project would not result in new or substantially greater potential to emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within 0.25 mile of an existing or proposed school than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant.

Hazardous Materials Sites
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND documented that the City GP EIR four contaminated sites in the City, most of which had subsequently been cleaned and their cases are closed . None of the hazardous materials sites documented within The Preserve EIR were found to pose an immediate threat to human or environmental health, and The Edgewater EIR did not identify any hazardous materials sites within the Rancho Miramonte area. As such, none of the candidate housing sites are included on the hazardous sites list compiled pursuant to California Government Code Section 65962.5. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not be located on a site which is included in a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to California Government Code Section 65962.5. No impact would occur.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND.

15.11 Land Use and Planning
Physically Divide an Established Community
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would largely occur in urbanized areas and in areas currently zoned with allowed residential uses. The 2022 IS/ND also determined that future housing development would not require substantial road-widenings or other features which could potentially divide the established community. Additionally, candidate housing sites were identified throughout the City rather than concentrated in a single area. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not physically divide an established community, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory , and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. Furthermore, the project would not introduce any new land uses whose nature could divide an established community that were not considered in the 2022 IS/ND. Therefore, the project would not physically divide an established community greater than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

Conflicts with Plans and Policies
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that the 2022 IS/ND determined that the 6 th Cycle Housing Element Update was developed consistent with s tate housing law, and therefore was consistent with applicable land use and planning policies in the state, regional, and local context. Additionally, future housing development would be reviewed for consistency with all applicable land use and planning policies and regulations intended to minimize environmental effects . Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory , and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND .

15.12 Mineral Resources
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that the only potentially mineral resources located in the City are aggregate materials that may be found in areas designated as MRZ-3, land for which the significance of mineral resources cannot be determined , which is not considered a significant mineral resource.

Additionally, the 2022 IS/ND did not identify properties delineated as a mineral resource recovery site within the City. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource or impact any mineral resource recovery sites. No impact would occur.

Project
There is no change to the analysis provided in the 2022 IS/ND. No significant mineral resources or mineral resource recovery sites are located within the City. Therefore, no new or more severe impacts would occur.

15.13 Noise
Noise Standards
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that construction of future housing development is anticipated to occur in incremental phases over time based on market demand, economic, and planning considerations and would not be concentrated in any one particular area of the City . Additionally, future housing development would be subject to the City’s development review process, which may include review pursuant to CEQA, and be required to comply with applicable City GP policies and CMC Chapter

9.40 (Noise). Once constructed, future housing development would not be expected to significantly increase traffic volume on local roadways g iven the City’s largely developed nature. Most of the identified candidate housing sites in future overlay zones are within urbanized portions of the City already generating traffic volumes and mobile noises. Furthermore, candidate housing sites located within areas evaluated under the Preserve EIR, Edgewater EIR, and 2016 Edgewater EIR Addendum would be subject to the applicable mitigation framework. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not generate a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in excess of established standards, and impacts would be less than significant.

Furthermore, candidate housing sites located within areas evaluated under the Preserve EIR, Edgewater EIR, and 2016 Edgewater EIR Addendum would be subject to the applicable mitigation framework, as documented in the 2022 IS/ND. Therefore, the project would not result in new or substantially greater temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in excess of established standards than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant.

Groundborne Noise and Vibration
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would be subject to the City’s standard discretionary review process, including compliance with the City’s GP, C MC, and site-specific CEQA review. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not generate excessive ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels , and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. Furthermore, the project would not introduce any land uses that generate groundborne noise or vibration that were not considered in the 2022 IS/ND. Therefore, the project would not result in new or substantially greater ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant.

Aircraft Noise
2022 IS/ND
The Chino Airport is a public airport owned by the County and is located within the City, just northwest of The Preserve area. The next closest public airport to the City is the Ontario International Airport, which is located approximately 2.8 miles east o f the City’s eastern boundary. There are no private airstrips located in the City. As described in Section 15.9 above, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not conflict with any existing airport land use plan.

Furthermore, candidate housing sites located within areas evaluated under the Preserve EIR, Edgewater EIR, and 2016 Edgewater EIR Addendum would be subject to the applicable mitigation framework. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not expose people residing or working in the area to excessive noise levels , and impacts would be less than significant.

15.14 Population and Housing
Induce Unplanned Population Growth
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that the 6 th Cycle Housing Element Update was a component of statewide housing legislation. Therefore, housing and population growth associated with the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update would be in accordance with state-level regulation and would not be considered unplanned. Additionally, future housing development would occur in urbanized locations near existing u tilities and service systems, and areas already served by public services (e.g., police and fire protection, and other emergency responders). Furthermore, future housing developments would be subject to the City’s development review process, which may incl ude review pursuant to CEQA, and be required to comply with applicable City GP policies and CMC standards, as well as an assessment on a project -by-project basis for potential effects concerning population growth.

Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly or indirectly, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would allow for increased development intensity at certain sites, up to a total of 184 additional units, compared to what was evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. However, the additional units would add to the existing buffer that allows the City to navigate the "no net loss” provisions of the State Housing Element law in the event that sites on the inventory do not develop as projected in the Housing Element. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the increased development potential of the project would induce population growth beyond what is anticipated by regional growth projections for the City that the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update was developed to accommodate. Therefore, the project would not induce new or substantially greater impacts related to unplanned population growth than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

Displace People or Housing
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that the City would comply with the requirements of SB 166 that a jurisdiction maintain an inventory at all times that can accommodate its share of the regional housing need throughout the planning period . Additionally, the 6 th Cycle Housing Element Update’s candidate housing site inventory would be sufficient to accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation.

The candidate housing site inventory included 3,397 unit low and very-low income RHNA need, as well as a 39 percent buffer for those income categories. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update would not displace substantial numbers of existing housing or people, and impacts would be less than significant.

Therefore, the project would not result in new or substantially greater impacts relating to the displacement of existing people or housing than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

15.15 Public Services
Fire Protection
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that f uture housing development would increase demand for fire protection services over time. However, vacant candidate housing sites would be located in urbanized areas near infrastructure that are already served by the Chino Valley Independent Fire District. Additionally, c andidate housing sites located within The Preserve and Rancho Miramonte areas were previously evaluated in The Preserve EIR and the Edgewater EIR and 2016 Addendum and would be subject to the applicable mitigation framework. All future housing development would be subject to the City’s development review process, which may include review pursuant to CEQA, and be required to comply with City GP policies, CMC Chapter 15.32 (Fire Code), and the 2019 California Fire Code. Future projects would also be subject t o Development Impact Fees (DIF). Tax revenue generated from their development would support public goods, such as fire protection services .

Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered fire protection facilities, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory , and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. The project would allow for increased development intensity at certain sites, up to a total of 184 additional units compared to what was evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. However, the additional development potential would not change the significance conclusions of the 2022 IS/ND because vacant candidate housing sites would be located in urbanized areas near infrastructure that are already served by the Chino Valley Independent Fire District. Additionally, c andidate housing sites located within The Preserve and Rancho Miramonte areas were previously evaluated in The Preserve EIR and the Edgewater EIR and 2016 Addendum and would be subject to the applicable mitigation framework, as documented in the 2022 IS/ND . Furthermore, future housing development would be subject to the City’s development review process, which may include review pursuant to CEQA, and be required to comply with City GP policies, CMC Chapter 15.32 (Fire Code), and the 2019 California Fire Code.

Future projects would also be subject to DIFs. Tax revenue generated from their development would support public goods, such as fire protection services, as documented in the 2022 IS/ND. Therefore, the project would not result in a new or substantially greater need for new or altered fire protection service facilities than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

City GP policies and CMC standards , and be evaluated at the p roject-level for the potential to increase hazards due to a geometric design feature. Future housing development would also be required to comply with applicable building and fire safety regulations for the design of new housing and emergency access, as well as applicable state and local requirements for avoiding construction and operations impacts related to design and incompatible uses. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. All future housing development would be subject to
the City’s development review process, which may include review pursuant to CEQA , comply with applicable City GP policies and CMC standards , and be evaluated at the project-level for the potential to increase hazards due to a geometric design feature, as documented in the 2022 IS/ND. Future housing development would also be required to comply with applicable building and fire safety regulations for the design of new housing and emergency access, as well as applicable state and local requirements for avoiding construction and operations impacts related to design and incompatible uses, as documented in the 2022 IS/ND. Therefore, the project would not result in new or substantially greater increase in hazards due to a geometric design feature than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant.

Emergency Access
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that the City has adopted the California Fire Code in compliance with Government Code Section 65850.7, under CMC Chapter 15.32. The California Fire Code sets standards for fire safety features. Additionally, more stringent CBC standards also apply regarding new construction and development of emergency access issues associated with ea rthquakes, flooding, climate/strong winds, and water shortages. A ccording to the City GP, the City has established emergency preparedness procedures to anticipate and respond to potential natural and manmade disasters in its Emergency Operations Plan adopted in September 2008 . The City also updated the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan in 2018, whose intent is to reduce and/or eliminate loss of life and property. Furthermore, f uture housing development would be required to comply with applicable building and fir e safety regulations requiring the new housing development to be designed and constructed to provide adequate roadway access emergency access and evacuation route access. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not result in inadequate emergency access, and impacts would be less than significant.

2022 IS/ND. Therefore, the project would not result in new or substantially greater impact related to inadequate emergency access than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant.

15.18 Tribal Cultural Resources
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would be subject to the City’s development review process, which may include review pursuant to CEQA, and be required to comply with applicable City GP policies and CMC standards, as well as applicable federal, state, and local regulations for avoiding impacts to tribal cultural resources . Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not c ause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. The City initiated consultation with the Native American tribes who are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the project consistent with the requirements of SB 18. The City received responses from five tribes. The Gabrielino Tongva Indians of California , Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, Fort Yuma Quechan Tribe , and Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians did not request additional consultation. The Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians: Kizh Nation requested consultation for future housing to be developed under the project. The City will comply with this request by notifying the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians: Kizh Nation and other tribes who are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the project as future housing is developed.

Therefore, the project would not result in a new or substantially greater substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource than previously analyzed, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

Wastewater
The 2022 IS/ND determined that unplanned proposed candidate housing sites would be located in urbanized areas of the City with existing residential or non -residential land use designation and zoning where wastewater infrastructure already exists. Additionally, future housing development would be subject to the City’s development review process, which may include review pursuant to CEQA, and be required to adhere to applicable City GP policies and CMC standards. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not require or result in the relocation or construct ion of new or expanded wastewater facilities that could cause significant environmental effects, and impacts would be less than significant.

Dry Utilities
The 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would be located in urbanized areas of the City are already served by electric power, natural gas, and telecommunications facilities. Most of the candidate housing sites are developed and connect to existing dry utility infrastructure.

Additionally, housing and population growth associated with the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update would be consistent with regional and local plans used to guide infrastructure development.

Furthermore, future housing development would be required to meet the mandatory requirements under the City’s various programs aimed at ensuring adequate supplies and service infrastructure are available to serve the development. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not require or result in the relocation or construction of new or exp anded electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities that could cause significant environmental effects, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
Water
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. The project would allow for increased development intensity at certain sites, up to a total of 184 additional units compared to what was evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. However, the additional development potential would not change the significance conclusions of the 2022 IS/ND because candidate housing sites would be located in urbanized areas of the City with existing residential or non-residential land use designation and zoning where water infrastructure already exists. Additionally, future housing development would be subject to the City’s development review process, which may include review pursuant to CEQA, and be required to adhere to City GP policies a nd the CMC standards , as documented in the 2022 IS/ND. Therefore, the project would not result in a new or substantially greater need for relocation or construction of new or expanded wastewater facilities that could cause significant environmental effects than previously analyzed , and impacts would be less than significant.

No new impact would occur.

Water Supply
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that the City’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, adequate water supplies are projected to be available to meet the City’s estimated water demand for normal, dry, and multiply dry weather years through the year 2045. Additional supplies beyond those identified in the City ’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan would also be available, as the City has the flexibility to increase groundwater production from the Chino Basin. All future housing development would be subject to the City’s development review process, which may include review pursuant to CEQA, and would be required to comply with applicable City GP policies and CMC Title 13 (Water, Sewers, and Utilities) regulations. Future housing development satisfying certain criteria would be required to prepare a Water Supply Assessment in order to verify sufficient water supply is available to meet project demand. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would have sufficient water supplies during normal, dry, and multiple dry years, and impacts would be less than significant.

Therefore, the project would not result in a new or substantially greater impact related to sufficient water supplies during normal, dry and multiple dry years, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

Wastewater Treatment
2022 IS/ND
The City is served by three wastewater treatment plants: Regional Plant 1 in the City of Ontario, Carbon Canyon Wastewater Facility in the City, and Regional Plant 5 in the City . All three facilities have a combined capacity of 71.7 million gallons per day. The Chino Basin Regional Sewer Service Contract requires a capacity of 270 gallons per day per ho using unit. The 2022 IS/ND determined that previously unplanned housing units would generate a demand of 1.3 million gallons per day over the span of 2021-2029 planning period, which would be well within the existing capacity of the combined treatment plan ts. Additionally, f uture housing development would be subject to discretionary permits and be required to adhere to all federal, state, and local requirements related to wastewater treatment during construction and operations, including the Sewer System Management Plan, City GP Objective PFS- 9.1 Policy P2, CMC Title 13 , and required construction permits. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not increase demand for wastewater treatment beyond what has been planned and is anticipated by the City’s service providers, and impacts would be less than significant.

Solid Waste Generation
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that construction activities would be subject to compliance with the 50 percent diversion of solid waste requirement pursuant to the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939). Additionally, construction activities would be required to comply with the most recent Green Building Code, which implements design and construction measures that act to reduce construction -related waste through material conservation measures and other construction-related efficiency measures. The 2022 IS/ND determined that previously unplanned proposed candidate sites are located in already urbanized areas of the City in either existing residential or non-residential land use designations and zoning. Additionally, it is not expected that development of unplanned housing unit s would lead to inadequate landfill capacity at the El Sobrante Sanitary Landfill, which has a daily capacity of 16,054 tons per day, a remaining capacity for 383.4 million cubic yards, and a projected operational life through 2047. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not generate solid waste in excess of state or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory , and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. The project would allow for increased development intensity at certain sites, up to a total of 184 additional units compared to what was evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND. However, the additional development potential would not change the significance conclusions of the 2022 IS/ND because the up t o 184 additional units would not exceed the existing capacity of El Sobrante Sanitary Landfill, which has a daily capacity of 16,054 tons per day, a remaining capacity for 383.4 million cubic yards, and a projected operational life through 2047. Therefore, the project would not result in a new or substantially greater generation of solid waste in excess of state or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals, and impacts would be less than significant. No new impact would occur.

Solid Waste Regulations
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would comply with applicable solid waste regulations, including the California Integrated Waste Ma nagement Act of 1989 (AB 939), Section 4.408 of the CALGreen Code, and SB 341, which requires multi -family residential development and commercial uses to implement recycling programs . Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development wou ld c omply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste, and impacts would be less than significant.

Emergency Response Plans
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing de velopment would not be located in areas identified on the CalFire Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map as a State Responsibility Area or a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Additionally, conditions of approval for new development include a number of actions to reduce fire danger to new structures and the community in general would apply as documented in the City GP EIR. Furthermore, the potential to impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan would be evaluated on a project-by-project basis, and conditions of approval and/or mitigation would be placed on proposed projects to address any potential impacts, consistent with City GP policies. Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not substantially impai r an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan, and impacts would be less than significant.

Project
The project would not make any changes to the candidate housing site inventory, and therefore would not develop housing in any locations that were not evaluated in the 2022 IS/ND.

Therefore, the project would not result in new or substantially greater potential to expose project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire, and impacts would be less than significant.

Infrastructure
2022 IS/ND
The 2022 IS/ND determined that the need for installation and maintenance of new infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water resources, power lines, or other utilities) would be evaluated as part of the development review process. The 2022 IS/ND anticipated that future housing development would be served by the extension of existing utility infrastructure located primarily in existing rights -of-way consistent with applicable development regulations . Therefore, the 2022 IS/ND determined that future housing development would not require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment, and impacts would be less than significant.

1. PL22-0076 (General Plan Amendment)
a. The proposed General Plan amendment is internally consistent with the General Plan, including objectives, goals and policies of the City's adopted General Plan in that the amendments implement General Plan Housing Element Programs 3B, 3C, and 2G, which require the City to adopt regulations for an affordable housing overlay, a mixed use overlay, and Farmworker H ousing, and is consistent with General Plan Land Use Element Objective LU -1.1, which establishes direction for the City to provide a variety of housing types that meet the housing needs of residents of all income levels in Chino; and
b. The proposed General P lan amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City, as it will allow the City to facilitate the development of housing affordable to all segments of the community, and impacts associated with f uture projects developed pursuant to the amended General Plan will be mitigated; and c. The proposed General Plan amendment will maintain an appropriate balance of land uses within the City because the amendment is consistent with Measure M and because the overlays would promote residential development in areas of Chino with good access to transportation, retail shopping, and public services; and
d. The proposed General Plan Land Use Map amendm ent is appropriate in that the sites receiving the overlay designations to facilitate affordable housing development are located in areas of Chino with good access to transportation, retail shopping, and public services and meet the suitability criteria fo r affordable housing sites established in State law.

Consequently, the subject sites are physically suitable, including, but not limited to, parcel size, shape, access, availability of utilities and compatibility with adjoining land uses, for the requested land use designation and anticipated development.

2. CEQA Findings. The City has prepared and adopted an Addendum to the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029) Project Negative Declaration that includes an explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, supported by substantial evidence that there is no potential for a significant effect on the environment attributable to PL22 -076 (General Plan Amendment). The Addendum satisfies the requirements of the CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines (California Public Resources Code § 21000 et seq.; 14 CCR 15000 et seq.).

3. Approval of PL22-0076 (General Plan Amendment). The City Council has considered the recommendation of the Planning Commission and hereby approves PL2 2-0076 (General Plan Amendment), amending the Land Use Element as outlined in the attached Exhibit “B”.

9. Overlay Designations
a. Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO)
This designation is intended to promote the development of affordable housing for low, very low, and moderate income households in specific areas identified in Fig- ure LU-2 where high density residential uses would not otherwise be allowed. The AHO is intended for standalone housing projects at densities of up to 30 dwelling units per acre, but only if the development satisfies the affordable housing require- ments in Section 20.09.090 of the Chino Municipal Code. b. Mixed Use Overlay (MUO)
This designation is intended to promote the development of affordable housing for low, very low, and moderate income households in specific areas identified in Fig- ure LU-2 where high density residential uses would not otherwise be allowed. The MUO provides for mixed use development with housing either on upper floors or in separate buildings at densities of up to 30 dwelling units per acre, but only if the development satisfies the affordable housing requirements in Section 20.09.090 of the Chino Municipal Code.

households in specific areas identified in the General Plan at densities of up to 30 dwelling units per acre if affordability requirements established in this section are met. More specifically, the AHO and MUO allow residential uses where they wou ld not otherwise be allowed and provi de for additional density in return for projects providing more affordable housing. The AHO is intended for standalone affordable housing projects, while the MUO provides for mixed use development with affordable housing either on upper floors or in separate buildings. This section also provides the residential development community t wo alternatives for construction of affordable housing within market-rate development and offers a streamlined process for administrative review of qualifying projects with affordable housing using checklists and objective standards as required by State law.

B. Relation to base zoning. The AHO and MUO district regulations shall apply in the case of a conflict with the base zoning district regulations when a housing project is proposed. However, when an applicant proposes only non-residential uses, then only the base zoning district land use regulations and development standards apply. The AHO and MUO regulations and development standards only apply to proposed housing projects.

C. Permitted uses. Table 20.09-4 identifies residential land uses permitted in the AHO and MUO districts in addition to the uses that are permitted within the existing base zoning district.

DEVELOPMENT IN THE AHO DISTRICT
Feature Standard Additional Regulations
Notes:
[1] Additional FAR is allowed up to 1.25 for projects with affordable rental units . The amount of additional FAR shall be calculated based on the increase in density allowed for qualifying projects meeting affordable housing criteria. For example, i f a project receives a one unit per acre increase in density, then it receives a 0.125 increase in allowable FAR.
[2] Additional height is allowed up to 45 feet for lots with at least 100 feet of primary street frontage to enable provision of sloped roofs and common open space for recreational facilities. The upper story above 40 feet shall be setback back an additional seven feet from the interior property line if the project is adjacent to a Residential zoning district. [3] The front setback may be reduced to 10 feet on the following streets: Riverside Drive and Central Avenue.
[4] A minimum 20-foot setback must be provided for garages and carports facing a street. [5] Open or covered porches may be constructed in the front and street side setbacks to encroach no closer than 12 feet to the front property line and 5 feet to the street sid e property line.
[6] New street curb cuts are not allowed on lots with alley access unless approved by the Director of Development Services and the City Engineer to accommodate affordable housing units.

1. Required side and rear yards for residential uses. In order to provide light and air for residential units and additional separation for rooms that contain areas that require additional privacy considerations, the following minimum setbacks shall apply to any building wall containing windows and facing an interior side or rear yard. The required setbacks apply to that portion of the building wall containing and extending 3 feet on either side of any window. a. For any wall containing living room or other primary room windows, a setback of at least 15 feet shall be provided.
b. For any wall containing sleeping room windows, a setback of at least 10 feet shall be provided.
c. For all other walls containing windows, a setback of at least 5 feet shall be provided.

2. Required building wall on designated s treets. Along Riverside Drive and Central Avenue south of Highway 60, building walls shall be constructed along or within 10 feet of the front property line for a minimum of 70 percent of the primary street frontage and 40 percent on secondary street frontages. This

requirement may be waived by the Director of Development Services upon finding that:
a. Ground-floor residential uses are proposed, a minimum 15 -foot setback is proposed, and substantial landscaping will be located between the build-to and ground-floor residential units as a buffer; b. Entry courtyards, plazas, entries, or outdoor eating areas are located between the build-to line and the building and buildings are constructed at the edge of the courtyard, plaza, or dining area;
c. The building incorporates an alternative entrance design that creates a welcoming entry facing the street.

3. Building entrances.
a. Principal building entries shall front upon the primary street or be in a visually-prominent location as determined by the Director of Development Services.

4. Building mass and scale.
a. To reduce upper -story building mass, floorplates for the third story and above shall not exceed 80 percent of the ground -floor floorplate. The Director of Development Services may waive this requirement upon finding the architectural articulation of exterior walls and a sloped roof modulates the visual mass of the top of the building and avoids the appearance of a box-like structure.
b. Buildings that are more than 150 feet in length shall include a minimum 2-foot vertical variation in height for at least 50 feet.

5. Pedestrian orientation and accessible pedestrian facilities on designated streets.
a. Along Riverside Drive and Central Avenue south of Highway 60, all development on sites over two acres in size shall incorporate such features as plazas, interior walkways, canopies, arcades, paseos, ornamental gates, trellises, lighting, plant materials, seating, fountains,
