· Responsible Long-Range Planning

4.1 DISCUSSION
Packet Pg. 3
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: APRIL 11, 2023
SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 12 OF THE CHINO MUNICIPAL CODE PAGE 2

BACKGROUND
Municipal Code Title 12 contains various regulations associated with streets, sidewalks, and other public property located in the right -of-way. These regulations serve many purposes, such as protecting City property interests in the right -of-way, as well as ensuring right -of-way dedications and public improvement construction is provided by development projec ts when determined to be necessary.

Chapters 12.02, 12.04, 12.08, and 12.16 have not undergone any formal updates in over 20 years. Consequently, certain regulations contained in these chapters are obsolete and/or do not follow current practices and proced ures. Therefore, City staff has coordinated with the City Attorney to prepare updated versions of these chapters that are intended to provide the necessary tools to ensure orderly development continues throughout the City in accordance with the General Plan.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Many of the recommended revisions made to Chapters 12.02, 12.04, 12.08, and 12.16 are non - substantive and are intended to further clarify the City’s current practices and procedures.

However, the following is a summary of the more notewo rthy revisions to these chapters, some of which may require further direction from the City Council:

Chapter Revision

12.02 Current policies on street road closures and pavement restoration on moratorium streets have been incorporated into this chapter.

12.04 Exceptions to the street right-of-way dedication requirement have been updated.

The current Code language grants exceptions for building additions that increase the existing floor area space by less than 5%. This language would be revised to specify that single-family residential additions less than 650 square feet are exempt from the City’s street right-of-way dedication requirement. Proposed accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and other accessory structures such as garages, swimming pools, and patio covers would also be exempt from the requirement.

Lastly, additions in other zones, such as commercial and industrial, would be exempt provided the value of the addition doesn’t exceed 10% of the assessed value of the existing building.

12.08 Exceptions to the requirement to construct public improvements along a development project’s property frontage have been expanded. The current Code language only grants exceptions to residential additions or alterations that increase the existing floor space by less than 5%. The proposed Code language allows exceptions to be granted for any proposed single-family residential addition or accessory structure (e.g. ADUs, garages, swimming pools, and patio covers).

Exceptions to commercial and industrial additions would be granted provided the additional square footage doesn’t exceed 2,500 and 10,000 square feet respectively and the addition doesn’t constitute more than 50% of the existing floor space.

12.08 Current language provides the City with the discretion to delay the construction of required street frontage improvements by placing a lien on a developer’s property

when the property is located on a block that has less than 35% of the ultimate street improvements. This language would be revised to follow our current practice of accepting a fee payment in-lieu of construction when required street frontage improvements are determined to be infeasible or impractical.

12.16 This chapter would include language specifying that property owners are responsible to maintain any parkway landscape adjacent to their property frontage, which is a current requirement but is not very clear in the existing ordinance language.

RECOMMENDATION
Receive a report from the City's General Plan consultant regarding the Draft Guiding Principles and Phase I Outreach for the 2045 General Plan Update and provide feedback.

BACKGROUND
The Chino General Plan is the blueprint for the future of the City. It focuses on the preservation of open space and natural resources, reduction of traffic impacts, promotion of viable commercial, retail, manufacturing and industrial business activities, provision of a wide variety of attractive and well -maintained housing choices and creation of a positive community environment that offers recreational, entertainment and other quality of life opportunities. The General Plan was last compre hensively updated in 2010, but emerging trends and new State laws are now triggering the need for an update. These trends include demographic change in the community, the rise of internet shopping, growth in the logistics industry, and new transportation technologies. Additionally, a series of new State laws enacted since 2010 mean the City must incorporate new strategies to address housing, multi -modal mobility, environmental justice, climate vulnerability, and emergency evacuation into the General Plan, among other topics.

In this context, the City is undertaking a comprehensive update of the General Plan, as well as preparation of an associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and necessary changes to the City’s Zoning Code and Map. In June 2022, the Cit y engaged the consulting firm of Dyett & Bhatia Urban and Regional Planners to assist with the process. The project kicked off in August 2022 and will be completed in four main phases over a period of approximately 24 months. The phases and their objectives are summarized as follows:
· Phase 1: Visioning and Issue/Opportunity Identification - The first phase of the work involves background analysis and extensive community outreach to identify the issues and opportunities the General Plan update will need to address, and to establish a community-wide vision and shared principles to guide the project. · Phase 2: Alternatives Exploration - In this phase, three distinct alternatives for land use, circulation, and infrastructure that respond to issues/opportuniti es identified in Phase 1 will be prepared and evaluated with community input, leading to a preferred alternative and key strategies for the updated General Plan presented to the Planning Commission and City Council.
· Phase 3: Draft Plan Preparation - This phase will involve preparation of the Draft General Plan, Zoning Code, and EIR, based on the preferred alternative approved by the City Council.
· Phase 4: Adoption and Finalization - The final phase of the work will involve public hearings for adoption o f the updated General Plan and Zoning Code, and development of a web-based version of the General Plan to provide for a user-friendly public interface.

As Phase 1 nears completion, the objective of this study session is to update the City Council on progress and to present the Draft Guiding Principles, a key Phase 1 deliverable developed with extensive community input collected between October 2022 and February 2023. This report and presentation further the City's values and strategic issues as it relates to the goal of fostering Responsible Long-Range Planning.

ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Community Outreach
An important focus of Phase 1 was community outreach to raise awareness of the project and solicit input on key issues and opportunities the updated General Plan will need to address from the community perspective. The outreach strategy prioritized a "go -to" approach, with staff and the consultant conducting “pop up” outreach at events around Chino to meet residents where they are and make it easy for them to p articipate. At each event, an information booth was set up with an interactive activity designed to provide background on the General Plan Update project and give local residents the opportunity to share their opinions about the future of Chino.

Residents had the option of writing comments on cards and posting them for others to see or sharing input via their smartphones to populate a "word cloud" displayed on the City's website in real time. Business cards with a QR code leading to a more detailed online s urvey were also passed out and residents were encouraged to complete that survey as well. In total, 1,060 Chino residents provided input at the pop up events.

Recognizing that many residents lead busy lives and may not be able to set aside time to participate in person, the consultant developed an interactive online survey using the Survey Monkey software platform. The survey consisted of seven multiple choice and open -ended questions to gauge opinions and priorities regarding the future of the community. T opics covered included community character; land use mix and compatibility; traffic and parking; community health; the natural environment; and City investments. In addition to promoting the survey at pop up events, the City also invited participation with email blasts, social media posts, an advertisement in the Chino Champion newspaper, fliers posted at key locations around town, and outreach to local church congregations. The chance to win one of three $100 gift cards was also offered to encourage participation. In total, nearly 400 local residents completed the online survey.

Analysis of the survey results show that responses came roughly equally from all four Council Districts and that there was a good response rate from both long -time residents and rel ative newcomers to the community. Interestingly, more women (63%) than men (36%) took the

survey, which suggests the need for more direct outreach to men in future efforts. Nearly 40% of all respondents were aged 30 -44 and 90% were between the ages of 18 a nd 65, which suggests the need for more direct outreach to youth and seniors in future efforts.

When asked about their priorities for the next 20 years, survey respondents ranked promoting strong community bonds (61%) and buffering homes and shopping from industrial businesses (61%) as the top priorities, followed by revitalizing older shopping centers by adding new uses (59%), expanding local dining and entertainment options (56%), maintaining Chino's small -town feel (55%), and revitalizing downtown (54%).

When asked about their priorities for City investments and services, parks, trails, and recreational facilities (57%) was the top response among survey respondents, followed by preserving local history and heritage (52%); activities for youth (48%); and a rt in public spaces (39%).

A full report on Phase 1 Community Outreach is included in Attachment A.

Draft Guiding Principles
The Draft Guiding Principles, included in Attachment B, have been prepared to capture the key themes from community input in Phase 1. They represent an important first step for long -range planning, setting the tone for the General Plan Update by identifying key themes and priorities.

They describe a shared image of the kind of place that Chino residents would like their City to be in 2045. They are intended as broad, aspirational statements that will inform the more specific, detailed language of the goals and policies in the plan later in the process. In Phase 2, as we explore different alternatives for the future of land use, transpo rtation, and infrastructure with the community, the Guiding Principles will be used as a lens for evaluating the different options.

In total, there are 18 Draft Guiding Principles, grouped under the broad topics of People, Places, and Patterns. The Draft G uiding Principles were reviewed with the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC), who recommended refinements which are reflected in the document. On March 20, 2023, the Planning Commission also reviewed the Draft Guiding Principles and expressed support.

The City Council is asked to review the Draft Guiding Principles and provide comments with a view to ensuring they reflect the right themes and priorities for Chino over the next 20 years.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The General Plan Update is an important opportunity for both new and longtime residents to come together and define a shared vision for the future, clearly articulate goals and priorities, and for the City to put in place new policies that will guide growth and development over the next two decades. An important focus of Phase 1 was community outreach to raise awareness of the project and solicit input on key issues and opportunities the updated General Plan will need to address from the community perspective. The outreach strategy prioritized a “go-to” approach, with staff and the consultant conducting pop up outreach at events around Chino to meet residents where they are and make it easy for them to participate. Additionally, recognizing that many residents lead busy lives and may not be able to set aside time to participate in person, the consultant also developed an interactive online survey using the Survey Monkey software platform. The online survey provided Chino residents with the opportunity to share input on their own time and at their own convenience.

In total, over 1,400 Chino residents shared input as part of Phase 1 outreach activities, including 1,060 people who participated in pop-up events and 383 people who took the online survey.

Part A of this report provides a summary of pop up outreach events, while Part B includes a report on the results of the online survey. Community input collected during Phase 1 has shaped the Draft Guiding Principles and will also be referenced in drafting the 2045 General Plan.

The booth was set up with a survey station, mailing list signups, and activity to give community members the opportunity to share their feedback on what they love about the City and what they’d like to see in the City’s future development.

Individuals were asked to fill out a 7-question online survey at the survey station, answering various questions about the current state of the city, what they would like to see improved, what the City should prioritize, traffic and parking, quality of life, and more. Those who did not take the online survey at the survey station were asked to scan the survey QR code and/or take a flyer with the QR code to complete the survey at a later time. Mailing list signups were also provided as an option to those who wanted to be notified of any updates or upcoming workshops regarding the General Plan. Additionally, community members were asked what they loved about the City of Chino, and what they would like to see in Chino in 2045. Their answers were written on post-It notes on corresponding poster boards.

Approximately 50 community members visited the Chino General Plan event booth with 13 completing the survey, 24 taking QR codes and 2 community members scanning the code with their phone. The feedback and input received will contribute to building the blueprint for all future developments in the City of Chino.

Chino General Plan Update
Executive Summary The Chino Community Survey, an online, citywide survey, was conducted from September 19, 2022 to January 16, 2023. The survey provided residents, business owners, and people working or at-tending school in Chino with a platform to share input on topics such as community services, land use, transportation, and the environment. The feedback collected through the survey will shape the General Plan vision and guiding principles and establish a framework for future goals and policies that is firmly rooted in community needs and priorities. Participation was incentivized through a raffle offering respondents a chance to win one of three avail-able $100 gift cards. In addition to the gift card incentive, strategies to increase the survey response rate the survey included promotion during multiple pop-up outreach events, and links to the online survey were also highlighted on the City’s General Plan Update webpage, shared through email blasts to com-munity members, advertised on Facebook, and advertised in the Chino Champion newspaper. In total, the survey elicited 383 responses from community members. SURVEY ORGANIZATION AND CONTENT The survey consisted of seven questions, both open-ended and multiple-choice, and involved rank-ing options to identify High, Medium, or Low priorities, as well as priorities that were strongly supported, supported, opposed, or strongly opposed. Participants could also choose “don’t know”, or “no opinion”. In the first set of questions, respondents were asked about what they liked most about living in Chino, as well as what they would like to see improved. For question three, respond-ents ranked their top priorities for the next 20 years in Chino. Questions four through six asked respondents to rank priorities for transportation, economic development, land use, and community health and the environment. Finally, respondents were asked to share demographic information, and if they would like to participate in the gift card raffle. A summary of key findings is provided here, with a more detailed review of results presented later in this report. SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS • Preserving Chino’s “small-town” feel and community character was one of the most consistent priorities for survey respondents, particularly in the open-ended responses. Though these senti-ments tended to garner stronger support by survey respondents aged 45 or older, promoting strong community bonds was a high priority for a majority of all survey respondents (61%). • On par with promoting strong community bonds as a high priority for Chino residents, separat-ing and buffering industrial/logistics businesses from homes and shopping areas was identified by 61% of survey respondents as a high priority for the next 20 years. This strong support was consistent across all age categories, and in open ended responses, respondents repeatedly empha-sized limiting additional warehouse construction and buffering residential neighborhoods and schools from the impacts of industrial land uses. • Many survey respondents were concerned about transportation improvement needs, and several write-in comments expressed concern for road conditions affected by wear and tear from heavy-duty trucks. In addition to road conditions, survey respondents were highly concerned about

Community Survey Report
roadway congestion and circulation, and strongly supported designing roadways to improve traf- fic circulation and reduce conflicts between trucks and other users across all age groups and vot- ing districts. However, residents in voting district three expressed the strongest majority for this priority (75%), likely due to the high visibility of industrial activity in this district. • Revitalizing underutilized shopping centers and filling vacant storefronts was one of the mo st
consistently emphasized requests in open ended responses. Additionally, revitalizing older shop- ping centers by adding new uses was identified as a high priority by the third largest majority of survey respondents (59%) to question three, particularly among respondents aged 45 to 65 (70% ).
• Respondents frequently emphasized that the community would benefit from improved enter- tainment and cultural opportunities, particularly in Downtown Chino. In the open-ended re- sponses, many participants expressed a vision for a Downtown Chino that had similar downtown amenities to increase foot traffic and vibrancy like those found in Claremont, Fullerton, or other cities in Orange County.
• Many comments in the open-ended responses were enthusiastic about Chino’s agricultural roots and dairy farming past and called for increased access to farmers markets and fresh agricultural products. Younger survey respondents in particular (aged 18 -44) were strongly supportive of more community gardens, farmers markets, and healthy food options (69%) compared to other age categories. Though some open-ended comments viewed dairy-farming related impacts unfa- vorably, many survey respondents identified Chino’s rural feel and agricultural heritage as a dis- tinctive and valuable asset.
• A majority of survey respondents supported improving pedestrian connections and build better sidewalks (53%). Notably, younger survey respondents between the ages of 18 and 29 had t he
largest majorities of responses strongly in favor of improving bike infrastructure in Chino (58%) and investing in safer routes to schools (66%). In parallel, many write in-comments indicated the need for more bike lanes, sidewalks, and improved pedestrian infrastructure. • Many open-ended responses highlighted the value of Chino’s family-oriented nature and the ar- ray of family-friendly community events and activities available to residents. However, a number of respondents requested additional amenities targeted towards families and children, such as more parks, playgrounds, and schools, particularly in the growing Preserve community. • Most survey respondents supported a majority of priorities related to environmental and com- munity health, though the highest majorities of survey respondents supported the preservation of agricultural and open space areas in and around Chino (60%) and planting more trees and
provide relief from extreme heat (61%). Notably, a significant majority (81%) of respondents aged 18-29 supported planting more trees and provide relief from extreme heat. • In terms of Chino’s future investment priorities, maintaining parks, trails, and recreational facil- ities was strongly supported by the highest majority of survey respondents (57%), followed by preserving local history and heritage. Notably, building an additional event center and construct- ing new dog parks, sport parks, or water parks were some of only priorities included in the survey that opposed by over 10% of survey respondents.
• The need for increased access to medical care and additional m edical services was frequentl y
mentioned in open ended responses. These facilities were also identified as a strategy to attract additional high paying jobs to the City and deter further warehouse expansion.

Chino General Plan Update
Survey Overview and Objectives
The online community survey was made available to the public from September 19, 2022 to January 16, 2023. The survey focused on identifying community priorities for the next 20 years related to major components of the General Plan : land use and community character, t ransportation, jobs and economy, community services, and the environment. The survey was open to all, including residents and non -residents, and promoted through various sources including the City’s project website, email blasts to community members, Facebook advertisements, pop up outreach events, and the local Chino Champion Newspaper.

By the end of the survey period, a total of 1,633 responses had been collected. However, upon review of the data, it was apparent that many of the responses had been computer-generated. To ensure that the analysis of the survey results accurately reflected community concerns, vision, or priorities, these responses were filtered out from the survey analysis, for a remainder of about 400 responses.

Responses were removed if they were submitted very quickly (less than three minutes), if they had extremely narrow intervals of time between previous responses (less than seconds), and if response text was nonsensical or clearly irrelevant to the survey questions. Notably, many of computer-gen- erated responses were submitted after the introduction of a $ 100 gift card raffle incentive, where participants had the chance to win one of three $100 gift cards in exchange for completing the survey. This is likely what triggered the computer -generated responses to the survey . Going for- ward, in future online outreach for the General Plan captcha, a program or system intended to distinguish human from machine input, will be used to prevent this type of "bot spamming." Cap- tcha requires the user to complete a simple challenge, such as re -typing a code or clicking on rep- resentative images, to determine whether the user is human. This is a effective way of thwarting spam and automated extraction of data from websites.

The survey included matrices of priority preferences for a series of topics, in addition to open- ended questions that encouraged participants to comment and communicate other priorities if not listed. This report summarizes the analysis and findings from the survey. It is noted that the survey was not a scientific survey; therefore, conclusions and findings are not based on standards typically followed in a scientific survey. The analysis and findings are meant to serve as a reference for City staff and decision-makers in formulating recommendations to guide future development and iden- tify key policies for the General Plan Update.

Analysis of Survey Responses

DEMOGRAPHICS
As shown in Figure 1 below, 27% respondents were ages 18 to 29, and 45% of respondents were between 30 and 44 years old, and nearly half were 25-44. The lowest percentage of respondents were adults aged 65 or older. According to 2021 ACS Census data, about 25% of Chino’s population was under the age of 18, indicating that individuals under the age of 18 were underrepresented in the survey sample. Meanwhile, individuals between the ages of 18 and 44 make up approximately 37% of Chino’s populations, suggesting that this age category is overrepresented in the survey sample.

Respondents were also asked to identify where they lived according to their voting districts. Re- spondents were provided with a map (See Appendix A: Survey Questions, Question 10) outlining the City’s four voting districts to assist participants in their sele ction. Of the participants who do live in Chino, the results indicate a fairly even geographic distribution of re sponses across the City, with slightly more participants who live in District 4 (Figure 3). Surve y respondents were also asked to indicate how many years they had lived in Chino, to which a majority (39%) of participants responded that they had lived in Chino for more than 15 years, followed by 24% of participants who responded that they had lived in Chino for between one to five years (Figure 4).

In the final demographics question, participants were asked to identify themselves by ethnicity. Illustrated in Figure 5, a majority of respondents identified as white/Caucasian, followed by His-panic/Latino. However, according to 2021 ACS Census data, 53% of Chino residents are Hispanic and only 21% of residents are white/Caucasian, meaning that Hispanic respondents are un-derrepresented in the survey sample while white/Caucasian respondents are overrepresented. No-tably, American Indian/Native American residents make up only .19% of Chino’s total population; the 8% of survey respondents who identify as American Indian/Native American are heavily overrepresented compared to Chino’s actual population.

CITYWIDE PRIORITIES
Question 1: “ What do you like most about visiting, working, or living in Chino?”
When asked about what they liked most about living in Chino, survey respondents were consistently enthusiastic about the City’s small town feel and the close-knit community. Many responses high- lighted Chino’s agricultural roots and dairy farming past, speaking positively of access to fresh agri- cultural products and the ability to keep livestock in residential neighborhoods. The sentiment that Chino felt like a “small city” in spite of its growth was emphasized, and residents enjoyed Chino’s limited traffic and lower costs comp ared to other cities in the ar ea. Similarly, respondents appreciated the convenience of local shopping and the ability to quickly get around within the City. Many re-sponses also highlighted Chino’s central location and proximity to major freeways and cities like Los Angeles as an asset.

Underscoring Chino’s high concentration of families and youth, survey participants complimented Chino’s family friendly nature, openness to growth, and relative housing affordability for the area, particularly in neighborhoods like the P reserve. Respondents also identified the importance of sports and outdoor activities, as well as Ch ino’s parks, open spaces, and natural scenery. Chino’s peacefulness and safety was frequently commented on, and respondents also expressed apprecia- tion for Chino City services and the community events. Respondents also praised Chino’s diverse and inclusive character, highlighting the strength of local Chicano communities and other distinc- tive cultural traditions (see Appendix A for all of the open ended responses to Question 1). Figure 5 illustrates keyword frequency in responses to question one.

Community Survey Report
Question 2: “Looking forward, what is an aspect of Chino or a location in Chino you would like to see improved?”
When questioned about which aspects or locations that they would like to see improved , survey respondent’s comments generally organized around revitalizing shopping centers and Downtown Chino, expanding community services, limiting additional warehouse construction, and improving transportation infrastructure.

Addressing Chino’s older, vacant strip malls was one of the key issues identified in Question 2.

Survey respondents called for the expansion and revitalization of shopping centers with updated shopping and dining options, such as the Chino Town Square Shopping Mall. Many survey re- spondents also identified the need for additional cultural venues and entertainment corridors.

Downtown Chino in particular was mentioned as a key future location for these features, and many respondents requested a more vibrant and active downtown environment. Additionally, respond- ents expressed a strong desire for more leisure activities and the provision of programs, facilities, and events to include options for all age groups, especially children. Participants consistently re- quested additional schools and parks, specifically additional dog park facilities.

Warehouses and associated industrial activities were generally viewed negatively by survey re- spondents. Respondents were concerned about the wear and tear on road ways from heavy duty trucks, which exacerbate poor road conditions and potholes. Survey respondents were particularly concerned about ongoing roadway construction and the need to limit roadway congestion. Partic- ipants frequently identified the need for improved pedestrian infrastructure such as an expanded sidewalk networks , better pedestrian access, bike lanes, and increased public transit service in Chino. Lastly, many increased access to medical care and services in the City was identified as one strategy to attract high paying jobs to the City and deter further warehouse expansion (See Appen- dix A for the complete list of open ended responses to Question 2 ). Figure 6 illustrates keyword frequency in responses to question two.

Question 3: “What do you consider to be the most important priorities for Chino over the next 20 years?”
Respondents were presented with a list of potential priorities, each with an option to select “low”, “me- dium”, “high”, and “don’t know.” Respondents did not need to prioritize statements relative to each other; all statements could be ranked of highest importance. In the event that the listed options did not capture a respondent’s priorities, there was a space for participants to add additional comments.

Figure 7 illustrates the average importance ranking for each statement. Close to a majority of respond- ents ranked almost all of the topics with high importance, except for “increasing the number and quality of jobs in Chino” (44%) and “ensuring a balance of jobs and housing options…” (41%). In the com- ments of open-ended response, most of the survey respondents focused on revitalizing Downtown Chino and improving citywide public transportation options and pedestrian infrastructure. Many of the write-in responses also indicated that decreased industrial activity and warehouse expansion was a top priority. Alternatively, respondents preferred to prioritize the preservation of Chino’s small-town iden- tity, agricultural heritage, and expanded access to parks and open space. (see Appendix A for the com- plete list of open-ended responses to Question 3).

Community Survey Report
Responses to this question were further analyzed with regard to age and which voting district resi-dents lived in. Once again, across all age categories, a majority of respondents ranked all categories as high priorities. Notably, around 70 percent of respondents aged 45-65 identified “Revitalizing older shopping centers by adding new uses…” as a top priority. “Maintaining Chino's small-town feel” also received greater support than younger age categories from respondents aged 45 and older. With respect to voting districts, 72% of respondents in district three expressed that “Separating and buffering industrial/logistics businesses from homes and shopping areas” was a high priority, likely because this voting district has significant geographic overlap with industrial land uses compared to districts one, two and four. Additionally, 71% of respondents in district one indicated that “pro-moting strong community bonds” is a top priority. Question 4: “Thinking about traffic circulation and parking in Chino, please indicate your level of support for the following statements:” Once again, close to a majority of respondents strongly supported each priority, with the exception of “build a network of multi-use trails…”(43%) “develop strategies to improve residential parking” (40%), and “improve connections to/and from the Preserve” (37%). Designing roadways to im-prove traffic circulation and reduce conflicts with trucks and other users was strongly supported by 61% of survey respondents, the largest majority of respondent to this survey question (Figure 8). When responses were differentiated by age, 66% of respondents aged 18-29 also supported invest-ing in safer routes to schools. Alternatively, 62% of respondents aged 30-44 strongly supported im-proving pedestrian connections and sidewalks, and 60% strongly supported using technology to better manage traffic flow and reduce congestion. Notably, only 24% of adults aged 65 and older strongly supported building a network of multi-use trails to connect key destinations in town. This could be because older residents may be more likely to have mobility impairments, and pedestrian trail networks are of less of a concern to them than respondents in younger age categories. When responses were differentiated by voting district, respondents living in voting district three were much more concerned with improving connections to the Preserve, (69%) compared to the collected responses (37%). This is likely because voting district three is the district serving residents of the Preserve, who are presumably concerned about accessibility to other part of Chino. Similarly, respondents in voting district three also strongly supported additional topics related to traffic man-agement, including using technology to better manage traffic flow and reduce congestion (67%) and designing roadways to improve traffic circulation and reduce conflicts between trucks and other users (75%).

Community Survey Report
Figure 9: Responses by priorities for community health and the environment However, accounting for different age groupings, there were notably higher majorities of support for particular environmental and community health priorities. 81% of respondents aged 18 to 29 strongly supported planting more trees, a notable increase from the 61% off all survey respondents. Additionally, 69% of younger respondents (between ages 18 to 44) indicated strong support for more community gardens, farmers markets, and healthy food options, compared to only 52% of respondents 45 or older. Responses did not significantly vary by voting district, though 69% of respondents in voting district one strongly supported planting more trees, while only 52% of respondents in voting district four and 54% or respondents in district 3 strongly supported the same priority. This different could be explained by varying levels of urban tree canopy coverage across districts. 53%

Question 6: “For which types of programs and projects would you support additional investment by the City:”
Maintaining parks, trails, and recreational facilities was strongly supported by the highest majority of survey respondents (57%), followed by preserving local history and heritage. Notably, building an additional event center and constructing new dog parks, sport parks, or water parks were some of only priorities included in the survey that opposed by over 10% of survey respondents. Question six also incorporated an option for open ended responses, which focused on additional programs and activities for seniors, additional areas for shopping and restaurants, and additional open spaces such as equation trails and facilities, dog parks. Open ended responses to this question highlighted the importance of future program affordability for residents and that programs don’t raise taxes. (See Appendix A for complete set of open-ended responses).

Accounting for response variation by age demographic, survey respondents aged 18-29 demonstrated a larger majority of strong support for maintaining parks, trails, and recreational facilities (73%) than other age categories. Alternatively, 61% of survey respondents over the age of 65% strongly supported acquiring land for open space conservation, notably higher than other age groups. Across all voting districts, survey responses did not differ significantly from the aggregated results.

Survey respondents mentioned a desire for better connectivity between the Preserve and the rest of Chino and suggested that the large stretch of warehouses near the Preserve contribute to the Preserve’s isolation. Transportation related concerns with a focus on convenience. Many responses to this question supported increased walkability and access to public transit , though comments also fo- cused on limiting roadway congestion for automobiles.

A number of comments also focused on housing, such as maintaining affordability or establishing resources for home improvement. Consistent with previous responses, write-in answers to question 46%

A number of open responses also supported pr eserving open space and agriculture, though some respondents were concerned about negative air quality impacts from dairy farms. Additionally, survey respondents were concerned about supporting wildlife populations, ensuring that the gen- eral plan supports environmental susta inability in Chino. Lastly, a number of open-ended re- sponses supported improving access to health care and medical facilities in Chino, especially for ageing residents.

Question 2: Looking forward, what is an aspect of Chino or a location in Chino you would like to see improved?
North chino revitalize. Keep finding ways to make preserve feel part of city.

It would be amazing to not drive to Chino Hills for shopping/food options.

Some residential streets need a way to deter speeding.

Stop warehouses taking over the city.

By Schafer There’s a lot of empty lots
The water park off of Montreal Vista, it's a fun park in the summer but there are too many transients in the adjacent park for me and my kids to feel safe.

Widen roads
Downtown
The unhoused population in the 99 cents parking lot area.

I think it’s vital for a trauma 1 hospital to be in chino. it’s unfortunate we have to travel if there’s an emergency to get quality care. It would contribute to job employ ment and attract young professionals to the area. Safe bike lanes/paths. Bike events to promote bike usage. Less warehouses the traffic, noise and air pollution from rigs is mak- ing the area look and feel like Vernon Ca Less warehouses and mo re affordable housing for young adults who are starting off.

The Target Store shopping center on Philadelphia needs better stores and restaurants.

Downtown
Civic center, main City thoroughfares, dilapidated retail centers New and exciting retail that will stick. That will provide a solid revenue for the community and more parks for the kids and families to enjoy.

I would like to see less road work and remodeling of businesses.

A revitalization/redevelopment of the Chino Town Square shopping mall.

Better traffic routes. A lot of congestion getting to the freeways coming from pine The smell of the cow
The roads are always down for maintenance and the improvements do not last long before a shutdown.

I’d love to see the downtown and College Park areas develop more into a place like a downtown Fullerton or Claremont Village.

Hope the cow farm on the Euclid / Bickmore will be moving out soon Chino has a whole the west side of chino is neglected the parks the speed enforcement. It seems like the newer side gets more attention and that needs to be improved.

It would help if there isn't so many homes (condos) brings more people which is great but traffic is ridiculous. Specia lly when you live at the Chino preserve to get to the freeway is a mission.

The park equipment needs to be updated for children of all abilities. Also adding a walking trail to park for parents. Se- cure parks for youngest children. Make sure sidewalks have wheelchair accessibility. Street along Monte vista doesn’t have ramp to use with strollers. Pedestrians are forced to walk on the street and the street is already narrow.

I would like to see improvement by the city, building, more trees and more pleasant walking areas in the older part of Chino like Riverside and Benson River saying mountain that area it would be nice to have a nice walking area like Schaefer
Better playgrounds - more shade/cover over the playground, inclusive and/or accessible f eatures, more creative (like box canyon park in Yorba Linda or northwood park in Irvine)

More food locations like chick fil -a

Shopping center on Philadelphia (where Target & Sola Salons is located) needs to im proved. So many empty retail/food suites, definitely needs better retail/food to bring more traffic in.

More infrastructure. Attract tech companies , shopping plaza kind of link a city drive shopping district , medical facility Downtown
Downtown needs to become a shopping hub with boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants Improvement or revive the older shopping centers
Chino shopping centers around Philadelphia, Riverside, central and Mountain all need to be more inviting and fun to want to shop and visit. We don’t have inviting shopping and eateries when you exist the 60 Frwy. And what we have off of Grand hasn’t changed much. We have way to many industrial buildings. And big trucks all over our streets.

Less warehouses
Housing areas that are poorly developed and old
Restoration of farm land
The older shopping centers need to be revamped so businesses will want to rent and stay.

Chino’s “downtown” area needs to be completely redone to add restaurants and entertainment similar to all the neigh- boring cities have to their downtown areas.

The shopping center off Philadelphia where the target is needs lots of love a new revamp. cleaning up lots not being maintained - road maintenance I think Don lugo could definitely use some improvements around campus as a former student.

Stop knocking down our old buildings. No more gentrification in the barrio. For it to Stay a small town. Stop building warehouses it makes Chino look UGLY like Pomona and Montclair. Improve the chances of a different mayor for one.

Modernization, have the city reflect 2023 & not 1950. Lots of improvements needed.

Please do something about the manure smell
The streets around Monte Vista Park and Don Lugo High School.

We need a lot more restaurants on south Euclid T3 areas. Most of us have to get food from north Euclid city of Ontario and city of eastvale.

There are too many homeless wandering the streets. There needs to be some way to remove them from public areas and get them treatment for their addictions and mental illnesses.

Downtown between riverside and chino Ave could be a really cool area to hang out but it needs some work.

You will get tired of this: we need good public transportation.

Want to maintain it being open, spacious, not crammed with housing/development We need to find a way to get restaurants to come back to the far side of Chino. Perhaps restaurants on Central Avenue in the old buildings
Some of the roads still need to be repaired
enlarge the Senior Center
I would love to see more shopping options bette r shopping centers. More mom and pop restaurants and shops on cen- tral Ave

North Central Corridor
I love seeing green spaces, parks, and public gathering areas for families & individuals that are safe and inclusive Parks, more renovated parks to be like discovery park and more splash pads More inclusive events and messages.

Integrating former industry into the infrastructure of the city. i.e making light posts looking like they were made from milk cans. Utilizing (restructuring/repurposing) present and old buildings into something else, if feasible, before razing them, and building new structures. i .e. the old fire station across from city hall was used by the 7th Street Theatre to store supplies and whatnot for the theatre. Making sure that new structures integrate well with current structures, so as to not stick out like sore thumbs. i.e the sacorn lights on the new Central Avenue overpass? does that part of the city look like the CO Ave bridge in Pasadena?
Downtown
Inclusivity for all people
Less warehouses
The businesses on Philadelphia and central need to face lift. They need to be updated a nd developed. All four corners and well as Philadelphia and benson.

Walkable downtown and mass transit to inland empire
Riverside Drive could use clean up particularly in older shopping centers, it is not appealing and I end up going to Chino Hills to shop. The shopping center on Philadelphia and Benson where Target is looks lonely. Something needs to be done to drive more businesses to open there versus building new structures.

Let's start small....A revamped Christmas lights display.

Downtown development, hate that it wasn’t developed in past and replaced with senior housing. I just don’t support the 39-40 year plan, we’ll all be dead before it’s completed Better shopping and dining options. Some cultural spaces would be a vast improvement too! Roads, access to shopping centers and an additional high school built for those on the South end of town.

Crime, homelessness. I want to feel safe, but our laws are too easy on criminals now.

The North central locations
Preservation of natural open spaces such as agricultural farm lands Roads, parking during city hall events

There are several strip malls that could use a serious facelift like the area on central & Walnut (Walgreens & Big Lots plaza) and the Target shopping center.

Stuff to do! Commercial zones. More restaurants, stores, entertainment etc.

Safe places to bike
The roads, ie potholes, better striping on older roads
The shopping center(s)! The smart and final shopping on Philadelphia and central center is covered with transients. The target shopping center nearby looks empty and scary. I feel fearful for my life at these (2). The movies 8 and Clark’s shopping centers are in dire need of restaurants and a face lift.

Revitalize Chino Town Square.

Entertainment
I wish they would have left the old buildings up, just made them sturdier. I wish it looked more like C laremont where you can walk from store to store or restaurant to restaurant. I wish they would stop building homes and warehouses. It’s getting really crowded with cars.

Chino town square needs new businesses, maybe more shopping options and restaurants.

1. Maintenance Districts - remove all the overgrown shrubs and start using drought tolerant plants. 2. Maintenance Districts - There is a hodge-podge mixture of HPS lights and LED. Finish the conversion. It's annoying and ugly. 3.

Enough if the warehouses. We need more restaurants. I'm always driving to other cities. Please bring more restaurants to Chino. Let's get those vacant spaces filled. 4. Remove the trees in the parkways that aren't recommended parkway trees. They're damaging sidewalks, walls , water lines. Get the right tree in the right place .

I wish the city had safer pedestrian infrastructure and an area the community can walk with family and friends. An ex- ample would be Downtown Covina and Uptown Whittier.

Maybe putting in some restaurants would help like a Texas Road-house or adding a Chick fil a to this side of chino. The other chick fil a is a longer distance and many don’t go there be-cause it’s further out of the way. Maybe adding some popular shops to that area would help as well like a T J Maxx or JCPenney or even a Bath and Body Works. These stores are far from the chino area where chino high school is.

I would like to see less industrialization and more preservation of the open space we do have left. Animals are unable to live with all the complexes that take over their habitats. We have so many existing buildings that could be refurbished and utilized for all the right reasons instead of covering every inch of land with buildings.

Bet- ter parking laws such as pa rking on streets by permit only. Homes have as many as 8 cars parked in their lawns and driveways with most being unused on a daily basis. There should be a limit in the number of cars that can be registered to the home and parking allowed in the streets p er house. For example, 2 car garage 2 car driveway and 1 street parking permit.

Totally need to say that we need an improve on planning for new schools depending on the residential grow. I would like to have an option by the city on camps for kids when out of track. More variety of restaurants.

I'd like to see a police and a post office substation in the Preserve. We are cut off from the rest of the city, and when we call for any assistance, it takes too long for the police to get here (It is not the CPD fault --it is the distance.) Also, we des- perately need public trans portation. Having to drive everywhere is environmentally unsound. improve road quality and safety
Older shopping centers need a face lift to attract newer businesses. Looking at Central/ Walnut area in particular. All the money is on the South end of t own.

I would like to see less Warehouses in the city especially in the Preserve.

I think the old downtown area by city hall has the potential to be a very cute shopping and dining district like in down- town Claremont. Chino used to have a small town fee l, but now it feels like City of Industry with all the industrial build- ings everywhere.

Area near Ontario. More police and eliminate crime and criminals. Traffic safety and the street racers that plague resi- dential neighborhoods
Would like to see more investment in rejuvenating the northeast part of Chino’s retail/entertainment and other busi- nesses while also creating more entertainment options.

Transportation needs improvement. Trucks on Edison are terrible. Lots of noise and traffic issues The roads!!

The number of schools in The Preserve area
Too many little shopping centers that look run -down. Empty lots with no purpose.

Empty malls, lack of restaurants that are pushed away by out of state ow ners and management companies that de- stroy local enjoyment.

The roads have pot holes.

Some infrastructure could use attention - flooding on Benson, potholes and rough roads in various areas and traffic controls such as stop signs/traffic lights on Fran cis.

I was just driving through the Target/Burlington Center on Philadelphia Ave and noticed almost all of the smaller stores are gone. I understand about Covid however it is just sad that so many small businesses are gone. Would live to see this area revitalized.

Question 6: For which types of programs and projects would you support additional invest- ment by the City:

Stopping the building of more industrial buildings within the city Any additional programs should be free to the residence or very low cost Chino residents are animal lovers! We need a beautiful dog park. Maybe like the one in Chino hills where they separate smaller dogs and bigger dogs
If chino wants to preserve the cities heritage. Then acquiring land to build a Native Gabrielino Village i n chino is best. I’ll can assist. I’m a Native American from a village that was destroyed by Prado dam.

Question 3: What do you consider to be the most important priorities for Chino over the next 20 years
Stopping the building of more industrial buildings within the city Open space for outdoor activities
Maintain the "small-town" feel by not having population density.

Having more areas that you can walk with your family and stop in for a bite to eat or stroll in shops you don’t have to leave the area or drive across town
Stop over developing and keep c hino a small farming town.

Stop building and stop trying to create jobs in chino. It’s too packed.

Bring the old up to date! Add current restaurants, shopping & stores. Chino is still stuck in the 1950’s.

Maintaining the rural open spaces and honoring Chino’s agricultural roots. Chino’s land is prime farmland - don’t pave the last of it over!
Creating decent public transportation that serves ALL parts of the city.

Whatever it is, it is built please ensure that there are parking structures. We need to bring better businesses back to the Target Shopping Center on Philadelphia and Benton.

No more warehouses instead a big beautiful Whole Foods
A nice downtown with shoppes and restaurants would be nice. Take over county areas and clean up those neighbor- hoods.

Support the Churches; faith in Jesus Christ is key!!
Protecting minorities & LG BTQ families & youth
More inclusion
my concern is that taxes will be raised to build a new city hall at a horrible time with a bad economy Native American Cultural Center in Downtown
Make Chino downtown more lively
No high density housing, it brings more crime
Addition of walking trails and spaces for pedestrian traffic Several dog parks added to our parks
Making sure people can still have farm animals on their property I would love to see higher end organic grocery stores come in such as Whole Foods or Erewhon or Gelsons. We need less fast food restaurants and more higher -quality/organic food options. Chino really doesn’t need another Stater Bros and really needs a Whole Foods. I would love to see the new Town Center at the Pre seve become something like Irvine Spectrum or Downtown Pasadena.

Update our older Parks!
Cultural hub???? Pull the other one; right now the inverse relationship between real culture and warehouse culture makes me nauseous. If you want to truly foster cultural activities, then stop selling out to warehouses and gas station convenience stores and drive thrus that seem to be the future of chino dining.

Doing that just keep it up I grew up in Chino Hills but live in Chino. It’s a shame we have to spend our $ and time going there for restau- rant and shopping options.

Installing more public trash cans to encourage proper disposal of trash. Refill water stations at parks and outside city buildings.

Water conservation and reclamation.

Put more into old town area with restaurants/ brewery, live bands etc. since moving to Chino last December my husband and I noticed there isn’t much to do in the evenings. We usually drive to Chino Hills or Claremont.

Stop over developing and keep chino a small farming town.

Improve older schools.
limit building of homes, due to lack of water to support. No apartments or condos! Giving land back to the Gabrielinos who inhabited the area. Don’t talk about it. Be about it. Get the land, don’t build a dog park. How disrespectful.

Businesses to generate revenue for the city and to modernize it with retail stores & new large chain restaurants (eg- macaroni grill, taps, yard house, etc…)
Any way to reduce the smell of fertilizer and manure. Perhaps plant trees to block the wind from spreading it all over the city.

Empty lots that look horrible.

The city needs to stand up to the bullying from the state of California and NOT BE FORCED into building more high density, low income housing! I saved for years in order to buy a single family home on a half acre lot to keep my horse and enjoy a peaceful, quiet neighborhood. Now, the zoning that I paid a lot of money for has been eliminated by the state of CA and the ADU’s are already replacing the horse barns in my neighborhood backyards. This is wrong!
We desperately need public transportation in the entire area if we are serious about improving the environment or, at least, mitigating some of the damage that has been done.

The Preserve is isolated from the rest of Chino thanks to excessive warehouses. Stop the warehouse develop- ment in the area.

Build mass public transit that connect chino to train lines in Ontario and Rancho. Build solar panels everywhere on Build, cover the freeway, and solar farm fields in agriculture. no raise in taxes
stop building industrial parks in city.

Public transportation within the city limits
Please build roads before adding homes or commercial properties. Chino needs to stop building so many large logistic buildings. We have to many and see to start focusing on residents and quality of life.

California is taxing us to death. Don't jump on the bandwagon by raising our local taxes. I am against raising taxes 100%
Stop over-building of giant warehouses
Maintain current structures and venues. Don’t buy, add infrastructure that’ll increase taxes higher than they are now.

I would really appreciate focusing on fixing up the original parts of chino. It seems majority of the funding is be- ing invested in the preserve area. The new shopping center on pine is taking place soon yet we have numerous vacant places on Philadelphia between central and benson. Our community is going to chino hills or Ontario to shop instead of spending money here in our own city.

Priority 1. Honor the founder of CHINO. The Gabrielino Indians of Chino/Chino Hills. Don't put dog parks ahead of humans. That's Disrespectful.

Too many housing developments. Too many warehouses being built please reduce. Not enough schools DON'T make decisions like adding another police station, or spending money to upgrade the downtown/civic center. STOP spending on more/new things - instead maintain what we have.

Tons of accidents have occurred on Ramona between walnut and riverside drive, mainly in front of 12710 Ra- mona Ave. There are police reports to back up this data.

build house
making Chino a more walkable community i.e. not prioritizing cars I believe the city should work to improve the public areas in the older parts of town prior to further investing in new construction. The city is beautiful in the new areas such as college park, the preserve, and newer areas such as in the south east of the city. I would like to see further investment in the aging infrastructure and property conditions in the north west, specifically north of the 60 fwy, along Philadelphia. Also the addition of more kid friendly spaces and walking trails in this aging space would be nice. I am a homeowner with young children near Philadelphia and Norton and would love to have a park, playground, or walking trail nearby.

Build a more accommodating Chino Post Office & parking lot & library. The community has outgrown the small ones we have.

Smarter use of available funds. Trying to use what is available, and trying to integrate those spaces into the gen- eral plan, and also what will blend well with present neighborhoods.

preserve wildlife by making wildlife crossing over busy highways like s euclid ave near prado regional park.

Parks are always a good thought, especially in place of another concrete tilt-up warehouse. Make use of exist- ing infrastructure. Make Chino an easier place for locals to start a business. We don't need more chain restau- rants. The independent places are what create the hometown feel.

An equestrian center would be nice. A pedestrian bridge over Pine in the Preserve to connect the two sides. The survey is biased based on the choices given to choose.

It feels like Chino has no plan. The city feels disconnected: it’s almost like the focus is just building than planning a thriving community. Instead of preserving older buildings, they are just torn down and something with zero charm is built. I hate all the giant industrial buildings. They should at least have to look nice. They are just ugly concrete boxes. There should be some kind of requirement to make them aesthetically pleasing. Never thought I’d leave Chino, but with how many industrial buildings going up, we’re looking at more charming towns once our kids are out of school.

Remove equestrian trails in residential neighborhoods.

Develop more schools!

I think community safety & ensuring safe neighborhoods should be prioritized.

Reduce large trucks on Edison Ave
Yes stop building homes. Your ruining the small town feel. Been here over 43 years. Keep rent high keeps out ghetto, trashy people
Ensure sustainability in all aspects of the General Plan. Chino should aim to be an environmental leader.

Better drop-off and pick-up plans for schools.

Leave the county properties alone. Don’t annex these properties to the city.

North Chino zoning should remain as it stands to maintain the agricultural focus of the area.

Making sure signals are timed properly so that you are not waiting at a red light only to travel .25 miles to wait at yet another traffic light. Also find away to keep traffic speeds consistent. I have noticed speed signs drop 10 mph only to be raise back up 5 mph in several areas over that last 2 years. Install more Stop signs that have the flashing light to make sure the sign is seen. More cross walks with lighted paths across the street as the one on Monte Vista at Monte Vista Park.

Since there is no other place to put my comment about the map in Q.10, might I suggest making it large enough so we might have an indication where we live. Can't see any street names among other things. So much for q. 10.

Air pollution. The smells from cows ranch prohibit me from walking often.

It was mentioned, though, more attention to school zones especially restricting semi/trucks on residential streets.

Circular development
Still issues with homeless that needs to be fixed. We see the same ones running around town. Also the theft- mail and vehicle is on the rise. This needs to be addressed what good is a ring camera if we can’t catch these guys that are creeping around our neighbors in the wee hours of the morning.

Stop rezoning!!!!! New people buy land want it rezoned to cram as many homes as they can .Stop this ruining our country city

Definitely more farmers markets, especially with the diaries so close. Larger side walks, more trees. Educational situation travel Avoid zoning areas to restrict growth and economic development Not so many huge concrete tilt ups. Eye sore's! In the past few yrs.So much crime, drugs, homeless, it's so sad. Like to see tougher laws, nail time for repeat of-fenders. Housing for homeless, with mental health review, however most don't want help or follow the rules Let’s not forget our senior citizens Safety and security of the men's prison.

Community Survey Report
Appendix C: Survey Response Filtering
This section includes a discussion of the discrepancy between the 1,633 responses collected in the survey results, and the 383 responses that were ult imately included for analysis in this report . As described in the introduction, during review of the open -ended survey responses, it was apparent that many of the submissions had been computer-generated and were not admissible as authentic survey responses. To ensure that the analysis of the survey results accurately reflected community concerns, vision, or priorities, these responses were filtered out from the survey analysis, for a re- mainder of about 400 responses.

RESPONSE FILTERING METHODOLOGY
Responses were identified as inauthentic and removed according a three-step process. First, all of the 125 responses submitted prior to Dec 22, the date the $100 gift card raffle was announced, after review, were included for analysis in this survey report. Up to this point, there was little incentive for people to attempt to submit many responses , and little evidence of repeat responses. For the remaining responses from Dec 22 and onward, responses were then sorted by survey response du- ration. 661 responses took three minutes or less, far less time than the predicted 8 minutes estimated by SurveyMonkey. These responses were then further reviewed for identifiers suggesting that the responses had been computer generated. Out of these responses, all but seven responses were iden- tified as computer generated . For reference, table C-1 provides examples of computer-generated responses, and further discussion of qualities of computer-generated responses is included below.

Many computer-generated responses lasted longer than 3 minutes, with extensive variation in the duration of computer-generated response times. Therefore, step three of the filtering process in- volved sorting responses sequentially from oldest to newest date of submission. This revealed large blocks of identical responses submitted within very narrow time intervals, with many sequential responses submitted only seconds apart. A total of 412 of these identical sequential responses were filtered out from the authentic responses.

The final step involved a review of the remaining 560 responses for authenticity, checking for the key characteristics of computer-generated responses laid out in table C-1. Responses were further identified as computer generated if they: included consistent references to China, instead of Chino, contained gibberish or nonsensical text (see Table C-1 for examples), and if they included responses that were consistently identical to previously filtered computer-generated responses (see Table C- 1 for examples of common phrases and frequency ). Through these methods, a total of 177 addi- tional computer-generated responses were removed. The remaining 383 were included in analysis for this survey report.
