MARCH 19, 2024 5
temporary land uses. Mr. Hitz explained through the temporary Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process, staff can set the time frame from weeks, a season, or over a number of years.

Mayor Ulloa asked if existing agricultural land containing crops, with the use of the temporary CUP can change the agricultural use to a different zone permanently. Mr. Hitz explained the proposed ordinance contains a clause that prohibits permanent uses.

Mayor Ulloa asked in general, can zones be changed from agricultural to a different zone in the future. Mr. Hitz stated yes. Mayor Ulloa expressed her concern for the potential loss of agricultural land use and noted that she understood the purpose for the proposed ordinance and how it will accommodate future concerts and parking needs in the Euclid Avenue area, but expressed concerned the City is opening the door to potentially losing remaining agricultural land in Chino.

Warren Morelion, Director of Development Services, explained staff assessed the proposed ordinance in detail and determined how it will affect the particular area of the City. Mr. Hitz referenced to the aerial map to explain the current temporary uses, noting the surrounding zones and current uses, including impacted areas, and confirmed the Golf Course or RP2 Zoned area is considered open space.

Mr. Morelion discussed the interested parcels in the proposed Ordinance, noted the considered areas are limited and applicants are required to get property owner's approval for the temporary use. He noted the City can mitigate any concerns in terms of discretionary approvals and assured the proposed ordinance will accommodate temporary uses in this area, while abiding the Councils conditions of approval.

Mayor Ulloa inquired about specific areas identified in the map related to the zoning, the Preserve specific plan, asked clarifying questions regarding particular areas and different zonings to staff. Mr. Hitz and Mr. Morelion provided detailed information on the proposed areas and potential impact of this update.

Mayor Ulloa asked to see the exclusion language on the ordinance related to specific plan area. Mr. Hitz directed Mayor Ulloa to view the table on page 3 of the proposed ordinance, specifically the footnote that states, "excludes any property in the City that is subject to a specific plan."
Mayor Pro Tem Comstock acknowledged Prado Park has already been programmed with small entertainment events and asked if there are any parcels currently being farmed that are presently on the map. Mr. Hitz stated he was not aware of any actively farmed land taken place within the mapped area.

Mayor Pro Tem Comstock noted as the City proceeds with the acquisition of the Stark property it will be important to pay attention to the plan due to its proximity to this area. Mr. Hitz concurred and noted staff will determine the zoning and its naming will be more specific.

Council Member Flores inquired about the signage portion update of the ordinance and the City’s ability to determine the advertisements at charging stations. Finance Director Rob Burns indicated staff reviewed the list of vendors that provide Efficient Vehicle (EV) charging stations with sign boards and confirmed the vendor's advertisement space on the sign is under their control, however there are covenants and restrictions that would permit the City to have input on what gets advertised. Mr. Burns confirmed the charging stations would be owned and 40 CHINO CITY COUNCIL
MARCH 19, 2024 6
operated by the vendor with the City's strict requirements on what can be advertised and prohibit content considered lewd or inappropriate for children and/or adults. Council Member Flores stated that he hopes the City has a weighted decision on advertisement and content control.

City Attorney Galante explained the ordinance permits exceptions on City owned properties, a lease can provide certain guidance if the City owns the land, however it does not work the same if the City has a private operator on non-City land. He noted if the City owns the land and decides to provide an opportunity for advertisements, the City would have more control, whereas a private operator has First Amendment rights.

Mayor Ulloa asked if the City’s ordinance could impose signage restrictions. City Attorney Galante explained since the City is leasing the space the City has more latitude, however, cannot incorporate certain restrictions that could limit First Amendment rights.

Council Member Lucio thanked staff for explaining the parameters of the proposed ordinance and the temporary usage and for supporting the City's goals to bring entertainment to the Chino community and ensuring open space is preserved or expanded at the Stark property, and noted so long as those parameters are incorporated into the ordinance he will support it.

He expressed the EV stations are needed by residents, however, supported limitations on advertising.

Mayor Ulloa commented the Heman G. Stark Youth Correctional Facility property is surrounded by a large amount of agriculture and asked if this proposal affects that property. Mr. Hitz confirmed is does not since it is a OS1 zoned property. Mr. Morelion stated staff will work on ensuring the Stark property is zoned properly and meets the City's zoning requirements.

Mayor Ulloa closed the public hearing.

City Attorney Fred Galante read the Ordinance into the record.

Accept the public improvements for Meritage Homes of California, Inc., located north of Chino Avenue between Pipeline and Norton Avenues, as complete, authorize release of the performance bond and initiate the warranty bond.

Staff Report By: Jesus Plasencia, Assistant City Engineer RECOMMENDATION: 1 ) Appropriate $1,178,914 to the Storm Drain Fund with a corresponding year-end transfer from the Citywide Storm Drain Development Impact Fee Fund (Fund 255), in the same amount; 2) accept public improvements as complete for Tract Map No. 18903; 3) authorize the release of the performance bond and initiate the warranty bond; 4) approve an immediate reimbursement to Meritage Homes of California, Inc. in the amount of $1,178,914 for the construction of Storm Drain Line 43 -1, thus, fulfilling the terms of the Construction Credit/Reimbursement Agreement No. 2020 -136; and 5) authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents on behalf of the City.

Mayor Pro Tem announced her abstention from this item. City Attorney Galante explained that she must leave the dais but has the option to stay in the audience to participate as a resident, if desired.

Assistant City Engineer Jesus Plasencia provided a presentation on the item. He reviewed specific issues in the tract and the resolutions or proposed resolutions to include standing water on street gutters, excessive red curb striping on streets, the location of the community mailbox, accessibility at mailboxes, and cracks in the street.

Mayor Ulloa asked if there were any requests to speak.

Efrem Joelson, of Meritage Homes, thanked City staff for their support during the construction process.

Karen Comstock, resident of Chino, thanked the City Council for ensuring the developer is held accountable for construction that is not up to par for residents in this community. Ms. Comstock spoke of the ongoing tract improvements and holding the developer accountable for the disappointing work at a new development, and noted City staff will deal with street paving issues due to how it was constructed and approved by staff. Mayor Ulloa asked Karen Comstock questions about cement failures and Ms. Comstock described the unusual curing and discoloring of the asphalt and doesn't believe the street in this neighborhood will have the same lifespan of other streets in the City.

Council Member Flores inquired about the timeline of street repairs with the $136,000 provided by the developer.

Director of Public Works Lee stated the street will be monitored closely and assessed over the next 3 -5 years. Ms. Lee explained this amount for repairs is for a portion of the road with cracks, not the entire road in the development, and the amount incorporated a contingency for inflation costs.

Council Member Lucio noted at the recent Infrastructure and Streets Committee meeting, staff reported the ground in that neighborhood may need time to settle before repairs are made.

Mayor Ulloa asked who will be responsible to pay if the postmaster approves the mailbox being divided. Assistant City Engineer Plasencia explained the City will assume the fees since it was not included as part of the developers agreement, and noted staff is currently assessing the 43 CHINO CITY COUNCIL
MARCH 19, 2024 9
relocation of mailboxes adjacent to existing ramps. City Manager Reich noted staff would meet with the Homeowner's Association (HOA) in that area prior to making any changes to the mailboxes.

Council Member Burton expressed his disapproval of the construction conditions and asked if new materials can be considered. Director of Public Works Lee explained staff is researching several materials. Council Member Burton expressed disappointment with Meritage for not addressing the issues in this development.

Council Member Burton inquired about Meritage completing other developments in the City.

Assistant City Engineer Plasencia recalled Meritage completed a housing development on Central Avenue last year.

Discussion ensued regarding the street condition and City staff’s plan for repairing the street.

Mayor Ulloa encouraged staff to slurry seal streets throughout the development, rather than one section. Director of Public Works Lee concurred with Mayor Ulloa.

Mayor Ulloa asked for a motion and a second to approve the item as presented. There was no motion.

Mayor Ulloa asked for alternatives since there was no motion to approve the item as presented.

City Attorney Galante provided the option to approve staff's recommendation with the directive that the City perform the suggested repairs or not approve the item and direct staff to work with the developer to see what could be done to address the outstanding concerns.

Council Member Burton suggested the City Council not accept the project with the current condition, as presented and requested an acceptable resolution to address resident's concerns.

Mayor Ulloa noted the City's obligation to approve item 1 of the recommendation to repay the fees for the storm drain fund only and recommended accepting item 1 and skipping the remaining items.

Assistant City Engineer Plasencia confirmed the acceptance of the storm drain improvement is acceptable and staff can go back and work with the developer to resolve street pavement and public improvement concerns. He noted the bonds will remain in place and will not be released.

City Attorney Galante concurred with staff and noted the storm drain DIF reimbursement is tied to the acceptance of the actual storm drain facilities.

Michael Gales, resident of Chino, spoke in opposition of accepting the public improvements.

Efrem Joelson, of Meritage Homes, spoke in support of Meritage Homes efforts to ensure quality construction and ensured the Council's concerns will be taken back to his management team. He noted the mailbox cluster design was preferred by the Postmaster, and explained his company made good faith efforts to address residents' concerns and requested the $136,000 check be returned to them.

Mayor Ulloa asked for a motion and a second to approve the item 1, acceptance of the storm drain only, and direct staff to work further with the developer to clear up outstanding issues. 44 CHINO CITY COUNCIL

TITLE: PROPOSED REVISION OF THE CITY OF CHINO CITYWIDE LEGISLATIVE POLICY.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
On October 18, 2022, the City Council adopted a revised City of Chino Legislative Platform and Policy and created the Legislative Policy Committee (LPC) of the City Council, outlining its associated tasks, purpose, and procedures. The LPC is a Brown Act body with continuing subject matter jurisdiction, published agenda s, and meetings held in a publicly accessible facility. Meetings are currently held on an “as -needed” basis, with staff, and often the City’s consultants, providing presentations, updates, and recommended City positions on legislative and policy proposals.

In 2023, the Legislative Policy Committee reviewed and adopted positions on numerous bills.

Some were referred by staff to the Committee for consideration, while others were flagged as significant by the League of California Cities and various municipal government and professional associations. On several occasions, the City’s existing policy, which requires that official City positions be formulated or recommended by the Legislative Policy Committee, created delays in providing timely City input on critical legislative issues.

At the January 9, 2024, Legislative Policy Committee meeting, staff recommended that the existing policy be amended to authorize staff to adopt an official City position and act in a timely manner, as appropriate, when an item is d etermined to correspond with the City’s legislative platform. The Committee recommended approval of amendments that authorize staff to take positions on legislation in line with the City’s adopted policy. On January 16, 2024, the amended policy was brought to the Council for consideration, with the recommendation of the LPC for approval.

During the discussion of the proposed amendments, Mayor Ulloa recommended making additional revisions to include stronger language supporting increased law enforcement authority against crime. The City Council concurred and directed staff to incorporate the additional amendments into the revised policy.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment to the Citywide Legislative Policy authorizes City Staff to approve official City positions with the qualification that the official position is consistent with the Citywide Legislative Policy and that the Committee or City Staff report to the City Council on any positions, updates, recommendations, or actions taken at the next regul ar meeting of the City Council.

It also includes updates to the “Public Safety and Community Services” section of the policy to incorporate stronger policy language as directed by the City Council at its January 16, 2024, meeting. Those proposed amendment s update the Public Safety section to support legislation that protects and enhances the rights and tools of law enforcement to disrupt and combat crime, protects the rights of businesses and the public to defend themselves, holds criminals accountable, di scourages crime through tougher sentencing, and expands funding for professional development and recruitment of public safety officers per City Council direction.

When incorporating the requested Public Safety changes, staff identified additional recommended amendments for review by the Legislative Committee and City Council.

The Citywide Legislative Policy, as proposed to be amended, incorporates changes that:

1. Make the title of the document uniform throughout.

2. Reword several sections and make grammatical changes throughout. 54 CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: APRIL 2, 2024
TITLE: PROPOSED REVISION OF THE CITY OF CHINO CITYWIDE LEGISLATIVE POLICY.

PAGE: 3

3. Create a new, separate section related to “Community Services, Parks, and Recreation.” Move several items previously under the joint “Public Safety and Community Services” section under the new “Community Services, Parks, and Recreation” section.

4. Authorize staff to formulate and approve official City responses for those legislative proposals that are consistent with the adopted Citywide Legislative Policy.

5. Allow the Mayor, Legislative Committee Members, or the City M anager to sign communications on behalf of the City when the position is consistent with the Citywide Legislative Policy.

At its March 21, 2024 meeting, the Legislative Policy Committee reviewed the Citywide Legislative Policy, as proposed to be amended, a nd recommended its approval by the City Council. Per the policy itself, changes are to be adopted by Council resolution.

Resolution No. 2024 -002, approving a revised City of Chino Citywide Legislative Policy, is attached for the Council’s consideration.

Citywide Legislative Policy

v. RN 2024-002 (2024-04-02) Page 1

I. Purpose Statement

To address legislative and regulatory concerns in a timely manner, this Citywide Legislative Policy details guiding principles organized around respective legislative, policy, and regulatory matters. This Citywide Legislative Policy supplements the Citywide Strategic Plan to build an effective and flexible legislative advocacy strategy.

II. Guiding Principles

The Citywide Legislative Policy Guiding Principles are fundamental, overarching concepts that can be applied to respective legislative and/or regulatory matters. While legislative or regulatory proposals vary in breadth and complexity, these guiding principles will help narrow the focus to those matters that are the most consequential to the City of Chino. The Citywide Legislative Policy Guiding Principles include:

 Preserve Local Control: The City will advocate to ensure that proposed legislation supports or expands the decision-making authority of a local agency to provide public services to its community. Preserving local control recognizes that Chino residents, through their democratic expression, have voted into office local elected officials who are best suited to make decisions that impact the immediate community. This also recognizes that imposing State mandates without appropriate reimbursement (commonly referred to as unfunded mandates) unnecessarily encumbers City resources, placing an unreasonable burden on the ability of local agencies to best serve their community.

 Protect and Expand Local Funding and Public Finance: The City will support measures that add to funding sources (e.g., grants or other funding programs). Likewise, the City will support legislation that protects existing funding sources, revenue bases, and local control over municipal budgeting. Conversely, the City will oppose efforts to shift local funds to State or County governments. The City will also support legislation that, through transparent tax structures and revenue allocations, seeks to secure predictability in annual tax yields.

 Enhance Quality of Life: The City will support legislation that advocates for the safety, well-being, and security of its residents, businesses, and visitors. This includes legislation that assists the City and its local partners to help families with childcare needs or by providing robust after school programs; this also includes support for those struggling with mental health and/or experiencing homelessness. Finally, the City will support legislation that promotes public safety operations and enhances the ability of public safety officers to protect their community, deter crime, and hold criminals accountable.

III. Legislative, Regulatory, and Policy Areas:

The following, in no particular order, are specific legislative and policy areas concerning the City of Chino. Identifying these issues narrows the City’s focus on specific matters within the scope of the City’s Guiding Principles.

A. ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (ONT): As a neighbor to ONT, the City of Chino has a clear interest in fostering a collaborative relationship with the Federal Aviation Administration, the City of Ontario, and the Ontario International Airport Authority.

Therefore, the City will:

i. Support efforts that consider the quality of life for communities adjacent to ONT.

This includes promoting environmentally safe aviation techniques that lessen the airport’s carbon footprint and noise pollution generated from its activity. ii. Support efforts to utilize other airports within the Greater Los Angeles area that can accommodate increased activity.
iii. Support legislative and regulatory initiatives to study and mitigate the noise and air quality impacts that are associated with air traffic overflights. iv. Support legislation that seeks to promote local control with airport administration and oppose efforts to regionalize aviation oversight as to minimize adjacent community concerns and influences.

B. FEDERAL LEGISLATION: The City of Chino partners with federal agencies and utilizes federal programs to deliver public services or improve undeveloped land. Therefore, the City will:

i. Support legislation that promotes flexibility to utilize funds that best meet local needs.
ii. Work with federal agencies to develop sustainable land use and infrastructure plans in the southern part of Chino adjacent to the Prado Basin and Santa Ana River. iii. Engage local representatives to leverage federal funding for backbone infrastructure projects and social services.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
The City of Chino Citywide Legislative Policy, as adopted on October 18, 2022, provides that:
 The City Council Legislative Policy Committee can formulate and/or approve official City responses or communications to proposed legislation and forward them to the City Council for approval.
 All signed letters or other formal means of expression will be uploaded on the Committee's subpage on the City website.

 The Committee is to report to the City Council on any u pdates, recommendations, or actions taken by the Committee.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
On March 21, 2024, the Legislative Policy Committee reviewed the Tracked State Legislation Report (Attachment 1), which reflects City positions on active bills in the second year of the 2023-24 State legislative session. Those positions are brought to the City Council for approval as specified in the Citywide Legislative Policy.

Additionally, the City submitted position letters on two bills, reflecting support for AB 2034 (Rodriguez), which would make it a misdemeanor to loiter in a public place with the intent to commit prostitution, and SB 1034 (Seyarto), which provides government agencies an extension from 10 days to 24 days to fulfill a public record request during a state of emergency, when the emergency prevents gathering for health and safety reasons (Attachment 2).

The Committee was also provided with the High Priority Legislative Items Report, which includes other state and federal legislative issues of note to the City (Attachment 3), including SB 536 (Rubio), the City of Chino -sponsored bill authorizing the Director of the California Department of General Services to sell or lease the California Departme nt of Corrections and Rehabilitation Heman G Stark Youth Correctional Facility to the City.

SB 536 (Rubio, D) Surplus state real property: Heman G Stark Youth Correctional Facility (as proposed to be amended).

Current Text: 01/03/2024 - Amended HTML PDF
Last Amended: 01/03/2024
Status: 01/22/2024 - Read third time. Passed. (Ayes 39. Noes 0.) Ordered to the Assembly. In Assembly. Read first time. Held at Desk.

Summary: Existing law requires a state agency to review all proprietary state lands under its jurisdiction, as specified, to determine what land is in excess of its needs and to report on these lands to the Department of General Services (DGS). The law also prescribes a process for disposing of surplus state property. SB 536 authorizes the Director of DGS to sell or lease property known as the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Heman G Stark Youth Correctional Facility (Stark), located in the City of Chino, to the City at fair market value upon terms and conditions the Director determines are in the best interests of the State.

The bill authorizes the Director, notwithstanding those provisions, to sell the property below fair market value for purposes of providing housing to persons and families of low or moderate income, subject to reporting specified information 30 days before the sale to the chairpersons of the fiscal committees of the Legislature.

Status: 09/14/2023 - Failed Deadline pursuant to Rule 61(a)(14). (Last location was INACTIVE FILE on 9/11/2023)(May be acted upon Jan 2024)
Summary: This bill would establish new policies and procedures to ensure that body-worn cameras worn by peace officers are used properly. It requires all law enforcement agencies, departments, or entities to consider best practices when establishing policies for body-worn cameras. It would also prohibit any biometric surveillance systems or other data-collection technology from being used with officer cameras. Furthermore, it grants people the right to sue any law enforcement agency or officer who violates this prohibition. These provisions currently expire on January 1, 2027. (Based on 05/01/2023 text)

AB 1772 (Ramos, D) Theft.

Current Text: 02/01/2024 - Amended HTML PDF
Last Amended: 02/01/2024
Status: 02/05/2024 - Re-referred to Com. on PUB. S.

Summary: The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, enacted by Proposition 47, defines and bans shoplifting as an illegal act that cannot be prosecuted under any other legislation. It is defined as entering a commercial establishment with the intent to commit larceny during its operational hours. However, a proposed bill would revise this definition to require an intent to pilfer retail property. As per current law, individuals with a previous conviction for certain sex crimes can be charged with a felony for shoplifting or stealing property worth $950 or less. The proposed bill stipulates that those convicted of petty theft or shoplifting, who also have two or more prior convictions for certain theft-related offenses, would be liable to imprisonment in county jail for a duration ranging from one year to three years. The existing law also allows for a charge of grand theft if the property stolen surpasses $950 across several related but distinct acts. The new bill supports the legislative findings that if the value of the stolen items exceeds $950 across related thefts, they can be collectively considered for prosecution under grand theft. Finally, the bill specifies that its provisions would only become effective after being approved by the voters, and proposes a submission to voters for approval at the next statewide general election.

Current Text: 02/01/2024 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 03/07/2024 - In committee: Hearing postponed by committee.

Summary: The current legislation, valid until the 1st of January, 2023, considers loitering in public places with the intent to engage in prostitution, a misdemeanor crime. A newly proposed bill would perpetuate this notion, maintaining the act as a misdemeanor and inducing other corresponding changes. This proposal can be viewed as creating a new crime, thereby mandating a state-enforced local program. (Based on 02/01/2024 text)

SB 50 (Bradford, D) Vehicles: enforcement.

Summary: This bill proposes to change existing law by prohibiting a police officer from making a stop or detaining a person for a minor infraction (like a traffic violation) unless they have a separate independent ground for doing so. It also would allow police officers to send out citations and warnings to vehicle or bicycle owners if they can identify the owner but don’t have grounds to stop them. Additionally, it authorizes local authorities to enforce Vehicle Code violations without involving a peace officer. This proposed change in the law is subject to the passage of two other bills (AB 436 and AB 825). (Based on 09/07/2023 text)

SB 1034 (Seyarto, R) California Public Records Act: state of emergency.

Current Text: 02/06/2024 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 03/20/2024 - Set for hearing April 2.

Summary: In California, there is a law called the Public Records Act that states that state and local agencies must make their records available for public inspection. Within 10 days of a request for a copy of records, the agency must determine if the records are publicly available and inform the requester of their decision. In certain circumstances, this time limit can be extended by up to 14 days. This bill proposes to extend that time limit in cases where there is a state of emergency declared by the Governor, which has affected the agency's ability to respond to requests due to reduced staffing or closure of facilities. Additionally, the California Constitution requires local agencies to follow any new laws related to public records or open meetings, as long as the law furthers the purpose of ensuring public access. This bill also includes findings that support the need for such laws to protect the public's interest. (Based on 02/06/2024 text) Position: Support

The court would consider mitigating circumstances presented by the petitioner and to look at changes in law that would reduce sentences or allow for judicial discretion.

Normally, prosecution for this crime must take place within five years of the offense, but this bill would extend that to fifteen years. This bill would apply to offenses committed on or after January 1, 2024 and offenses for which the statute of limitations was still in effect before January 1, 2024.

RE: SB 1034 (Seyarto): California Public Records Act: State of Emergency City of Chino - Support
Dear Senator Seyarto,
On behalf of the City of Chino, I am writing today to support your SB 1034. SB 1034 adds a clause to the "unusual circumstances" definition pertaining to a request of the California Public Records Act (Records Act). If the Governor proclaims a state of emergency, this qualifies as an "unusual circumstance" as defined in SB 1034, which extends the response time for a public records request to no more than 14 additional days.

A state of emergency can affect state and local agencies' ability to timely respond to Records Act requests due to decreased staffing or closure of the agency's facilities. Additionally, difficulties can include a combination of resource constraints, logistical hurdles, safety concerns, and the need to prioritize immediate needs. SB 1034 allows for an extension to the existing law which requires agencies to respond within 1 O days of receiving the request, as the state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor falls under an "unusual circumstance". The agency would now have an extension of not more than 14 days to respond. With an extension during a state of emergency this will allow agencies to prioritize urgent and life-threatening situations, instead of allocating resources to stay within the Records Act compliance.

SB 1034 allows agencies to focus on keeping their communities safe during a state of emergency.

During a state of emergency agencies may face a surge in demand for their services while simultaneously experiencing resource constraints. These constraints can include shortages in staffing, equipment, and supplies, and immediate safety concerns, making it difficult to promptly respond to public record requests to stay within the compliance period. SB 1034 allows agencies to focus on keeping their communities safe in a state of emergency.

The City of Chino applauds your leadership on this issue and is honored to support SB 1034.

Sincerely,
k��w)a{

CITY OF CHINO – HIGH PRIORITY LEGISLATIVE ITEMS
March 21, 2024

PRIORITY LEGISLATION
SB 536 (Rubio) - Surplus state real property: Heman G Stark Youth Correctional Facility • SB 536 (as introduced) authorizes the Director of DGS to sell or lease property known as the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Heman G Stark Youth Correctional Facility (Stark), located in the City of Chino, to the City at fair market value upon terms and conditions the Director determines are in the best interests of the State. • The bill authorizes the Director to sell the property below fair market value to provide housing to persons and families of low or moderate income, subject to reporting specified information 30 days before the sale to the chairpersons of the fiscal committees of the Legislature.
• SB 536 currently contains placeholder language related to horseracing. The author, Senator Susan Rubio, intends to amend the original language back into the bill. • The bill is currently in the Assembly pending referral to the Governmental Organizational Committee.

OTHER PRIORITY ITEMS
Initiative No. 21 -0042A1, The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act - November 5, 2024 ballot
• The initiative has qualified to be on the November 5, 2024 ballot. • It would require voter approval of statewide taxes, heighten the threshold for local taxes to pass, and require state and local lawmakers to pass fees. • If the initiative passes, s pecial taxes that were approved after January 1, 2022 by a majority but less than two -thirds of voters will be out of compliance with Initiative 21 - 0042A1. These local measures might end in December 2025, a year after the initiative's effective date, unless they are redrafted in compliance with the initiative, placed back on the ballot, and approved by voters prior to that date.

ACA 1 - November 5, 2024 ballot
• ACA 1 is a constitutional amendment that lowers the voter approval threshold from two- thirds to 55% for raising certain taxes for local governments to build public infrastructure, affordable housing, and permanent shelter for the homeless. • It would establish a threshold for cities, counties, and special districts in the specified categories, similar to that passed for school districts more than twenty years ago. 76 2

ACA 13 - November 5, 2024 ballot
• ACA 13 would require future ballot measures that increase voter approval requirements to also pass by the same threshold. It would also preserve the right of local governments to place advisory questions on the ballot asking voters their opinions on issues. • The measure specifies that the voter approval requirement would apply to statewide initiative measures that appear on the ballot on or after January 1, 2024 , thereby potentially significantly impact ing Initiative No. 21 -0042A1, another measure on the November 2024 ballot. If ACA 13 is approved by voters, Initiative No. 21-0042A1 must be approved by a two-thirds majority vote.

77 WASHINGTON UPDATE
MARCH 15, 2024

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET ACTIVITY

Last week President Biden signed into law a six-bill funding measure after the House and Senate passed it. The measure contains spending for the following appropriations bills: Transportation - HUD, Interior -Environment, Military Construction -VA, Agriculture, Commerce -Justice-Science and Energy-Water Development. It will fund these agencies through the remainder of the fiscal year which is September 30. The six-bill package will cost $467.5 billion. The earmarks contained in the bills hopefully will become available in the next month or so.

Funding for the remaining six spending bills expires on March 22 . The remaining bills are Defense, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Labor-HHS, Legislative Branch, Financial Services and State-Foreign Operations. The funding for these six bills totals $1.2 trillion. Defense comprises $826 billion of that spending.

Problems remain with these bills. Negotiations over the Fiscal Year 2024 Homeland Security bill have fallen apart and lawmakers are now planning for a full -year continuing resolution for the agency. The yearlong stopgap bill for the agency would count as "full -year appropriations" and not trigger automatic cuts on April 30 that were laid out in the debt limit law . Additionally, there are remaining issues with the Defense and Labor -HHS-Education bill, but those issues are being worked on and should be resol ved. The hope is to release bill language for the remaining bills this weekend, maybe Sunday night.

THE LEGISLATIVE CLOCK IS RUNNING ON TIK -TOK
The House passed a bill that could ban TikTok (also known as The Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act ) in a lopsided 352-65 vote on Wednesday. The bill would force ByteDance, TikTok’s China -based parent company, to divest the app within roughly five months of going into effect or be banned from U.S. app stores and web hosting services.

The bill moves to the Senate. Consideration of the bill could take longer depending on whether it goes to the Commerce Committee where the Chair has expressed an interest in amending the bill.

Also, there is opposition from Senator Rand Paul (R -KY) who believes it is unconstitutional. (See quote below.) Senator Paul also argued that some Americans have a financial stake in ByteDance (parent of TikTok) and that such a ban would be taking property away from Americans without proving a crime first. President Biden has indicated he will sign it into law.

78 BUDGET
The White House released its Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 budget request to Congress on Monday, March

11. This is part of the unofficial start of the next fiscal year budget season. Remember we are still finishing off work on the FY2024 budget. This is more of a political document and wish list than anything that will likely become law.

QUOTABLE QUOTE (S)
Senator Rand Paul (R -KY) said of the TikTok bill, “TikTok is banned in China. We’re thinking – or people who want to ban it are thinking – Wow, we’re going to really defeat the Chinese communists, by becoming Chinese authoritarians and banning it in our country? TikTok is banned in China. So, we’re going to emulate the Chinese communists by banning it in our country? It makes no sense whatsoever .” Senator Paul has a libertarian streak in him . His father , former Congressman Ron Paul, ran for President under the Libertarian Party label.

BACKGROUND
Lewis Operating Corporation (Lewis) is the primary land developer in The Preserve. Lewis is currently developing their land with residential, commercial and community facilities. As part of the development of The Preserve, the City of Chino is requiring Lewis to build the necessar y public infrastructure to serve the residents and businesses of the new project area. In order to help Lewis finance the cost of the required infrastructure improvements, the City has formed Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2003-3.

CFD No. 2003-03 was formed in 2004 and was designed to utilize Improvement Areas to issue bonds as The Preserve developed over time to finance certain public facilities, and to pay for necessary ongoing municipal services authorized by the Mello -Roos Act and the formati on documents with respect to CFD No. 2003 -3. To date, ten Improvement Areas have been established. The public improvements for the Lewis project have consisted of backbone infrastructure such as sewer, water and gas lines, storm drain connections, street s, curb and gutters, streetlight and traffic signal improvements, landscaped medians, fire station, joint use community center and other required facilities. Authorized municipal services payable from the improvement areas include maintenance of parks, pa rkways, and open space; flood and storm protection; operation of storm drainage systems; and public safety services.

Lewis has approached the City and wishes to establish Improvement Area 11 within CFD No. 2003-3. See attached map.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Current Government Code provisions require the City to adopt a Resolution of Intention to establish the Improvement Area, and to declare its intention to incur bonded indebtedness for the proposed Improvement Area. The City must also set a public hearing date for no less than 30 days, and no more than 60 days after the date the Resolution of Intention is approved. Prior to the public hearing, a public notice must be published in a local newspaper. After the public hearing has been held, an election is he ld for the affected property owners to cast their ballots.

The ballots are then counted, and if the Improvement Area is approved by the property owner(s), the City adopts a resolution determining the formation of the Improvement Area.

On May 7, 2024, a public hearing will be scheduled on the following:

1. Establishment of Improvement Area 11 and the levy of a special tax therein

2. Approval of the proposed bonds for Improvement Area 11

The levy of the proposed special tax shall be subject to approval of the qualified electors of the CFD at a special election. The proposed voting procedure shall be by mail or hand delivered ballots to the landowners in the proposed Improvement Area 11.

Pursuant to Section 53314.9 of the Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, the City proposes to authorize bonded indebtedness for financing the acquisition and/or construction of certain public improvements and City development impact fees not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of $20,000,000.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, DETERMINED AND ORDERED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHINO AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Intention. The City Council declares its intention to conduct proceedings pursuant to said Article 3.5 of the Act for the establishment of Improvement Area No. 11 of the Community Facilities District with boundaries coterminous with the Property. It is further proposed that the boundaries of the Improvement Area shall be the legal boundaries as described in Exhibit A hereto which boundaries shall, upon recordation of the boundary map for the Improvement Area 86 2

of the Community Facilities District, include the entirety of any parcel subject to taxation by Community Facilities District within the Improvement Area , except where indicated on the boundary map, and as depicted on the boundary map of the Improvement Area of the Community Facilities District which is on file with the City Clerk. The City Clerk is hereby directed to sign the original boundary map of the Improvement Area of the Community Facilities District and record it with all proper endorsements thereon with the County Recorder of the County of San Bernardino within 15 days after the adoption of this resolution, all as required by Section 3111 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.

Section 2. Name of the Community Facilities District . The name of the existing Community Facilities District is “Community Facilities District No. 2003 -3 of the City of Chino, County of San Bernardino, State of California,” and the name of the proposed Improvement Area shall be “Improvement Area No. 11 of Community Facilities District No. 2003 -3 of the City of Chino, County of San Bernardino, State of California.”
Section 3. Types of Facilities and Services to be Financed by the Improvement Area .

The Facilities proposed to be provided within the Improvement Area are public facilities as defined in the Act. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the description of the Facilities, Services and Incidental Expenses herein is sufficiently informative to allow taxpayers within the Improvement Area to understand what the funds of the Improvement Area may be used to finance, the Facilities, Services and Incidental Expenses expected to be incurred, including the cost of planning and designing the Facilities, the costs of annexing the Property to t he Community Facilities District and forming the Improvement Area, issuing bonds, levying and collecting a special tax within the Improvement Area and the annual administration costs of the Improvement Area. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed Facilities and Services are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City as a result of development occurring in the Improvement Area. The Facilities may be acquired from one or more of the property owners as completed public facilities or may be constructed by or on behalf of the City and paid for with bond proceeds. Any portion of the Facilities may be financed through a lease or lease -purchase arrangement if the City hereafter determines that such arrangement is of benefit to the City.

Section 4. Special Taxes. Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of the City Council to levy annually in accordance with the procedures contained in the Act a special tax, secured by a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property in the Improvement Area, sufficient to pay for the Facilities, Services and Incidental Expenses and the principal and interest and other periodic costs on bonds or other indebtedness issued to finance the Facilities and Incidental Expenses, including the establi shment and replenishment of any reserve funds deemed necessary by the City, and any remarketing, credit enhancement and liquidity facility fees (including such fees for instruments which serve as the basis of a reserve fund in lieu of cash) attributable to the Improvement Area. The rate and method of apportionment and manner of collection of the special tax in the Improvement Area is described in detail in Exhibit C attached hereto (which attachment is incorporated herein by this reference). Exhibit C all ows each landowner within the Improvement Area to estimate the maximum amount that may be levied against each parcel.

If special taxes of the Improvement Area are levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes, (i) the maximum special tax rate shall not be increased except to the extent permitted in the rate and method, (ii) Special Tax A shall not be levied later than the 2067-68 Fiscal Year and Special Tax B shall be levied in perpetuity as long as the Services are being provided, (iii) under no circumstances shall such special tax in the Improvement Area be 87 3

increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels within the Improvement Area by more than ten percent (10%).

The special tax is based on the expected demand that each parcel of real property within the Improvement Area will place on the Facilities and Services and on the benefit that each parcel derives from the services to be provided by the Facilities. The City Council hereby de termines the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax set forth in Exhibit C to be reasonable.

The special tax is apportioned to each parcel on the foregoing basis pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act; and such special tax is not on or based upon the value or ownership of real property.

In the event that a portion of the property within the Improvement Area shall become for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the special tax specified in Exhibit C, the City Council shall, on behalf of the Community Facilities District, cause the levy to be increased, subject to the limitation of the maximum special tax for a parcel as set forth in Exhibit C, to the extent necessary upon the remaining property within the Improvement Area which is not exempt in order to yield the special tax revenues required for the purposes described in this Section. The obligation to pay special taxes may be prepaid as provided in the rate and method of apportionment set forth in Exhibit C, as such rate and method may be amended hereafter.

Section 5. Public Hearing. A combined public hearing (the “Hearing”) on the annexation of the Property to the Community Facilities District, the establishment of the Improvement Area, the proposed rate and method of apportionment of the special tax and the proposed issuance of bonds to finance the Facilities and the Incidental Expenses shall be held at 6 p.m., or as soon thereafter as practicable, on May 7, 2024, at the City Council’s Chambers, 13220 Central Avenue, Chino, California. If the City Council determines to form the Improvement Area, a special election will be held to authorize the issuance of the bonds and the levy of the special tax in accordance with the procedures contained in Government Code Section 53326. If such election is held, the proposed voting procedure at the election will be a landowner vote with each landowner who is the owner of record of land within the Improvement Area at the close of the Hearing, or the authorized representative thereof, having one vote for each acre or portion thereof owned within the Improvement Area. Ballots for the special election may be distributed by mail or by personal service.

At the time and place set forth above for the Hearing, the City Council will receive testimony as to whether the Improvement Area shall be established and whether special taxes shall be levied in accordance with the proposed method of apportionment of the special tax, and whether Obligations shall be issued to finance Facilities and Incidental Expenses o f the Improvement Area.

At the time and place set forth above for the Hearing, any interested person, including all persons owning lands or registered to vote within the Improvement Area, may appear and be heard.

Section 6. Notice. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to publish a notice (the “Notice”) of the Hearing pursuant to Section 6061 of the Government Code in a newspaper of general circulation published in the area of the Improvement Area. The City Clerk is further authorized and directed to ma il a copy of the Notice to each of the landowners within the boundaries of the Improvement Area at least 15 days prior to the Hearing. The Notice shall contain the text or a summary of this Resolution, the time and place of the Hearing, a statement that the testimony of all interested persons or taxpayers will be heard, a description of the protest rights of the registered voters and landowners in the Improvement Area and a description of the 88 4

proposed voting procedure for the election required by the Act. Such publication shall be completed at least seven (7) days prior to the date of the Hearing.

Section 7. Reports re Facilities and Services .

The City may accept advances of funds or work -in-kind from any source, including, but not limited to, private persons or private entities, for any authorized purpose, including, but not limited to, paying any cost incurred by the City in creating the Improvement Area. The City may enter into an agreement with the person or entity advancing the funds or work -in-kind, to repay all or a portion of the funds advanced, or to reimburse the person or entity for the value, or cost, whichever is less, of the work-in-kind, as determined by the City Council, with or without interest.

Section 9. Maximum Bonded Indebted ness. The reasonably expected maximum principal amount of the Obligations is Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000).

Section 10. Reservation of Rights. Except to the extent limited in any bond resolution or trust indenture related to the issuance of bonds, the City Council hereby reserves to itself all rights and powers set forth in Section 53344.1 of the Act (relating to tenders in full or partial payment).

Section 11. This Resolution shall be effective upon its adoption.

SECTION F

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX A
Commencing Fiscal Year 2024-25 and for each subsequent Fiscal Year, the City Council shall levy Annual Special Tax A in accordance with the following steps:

Step One: The Annual Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Annual Special Tax A rates in Table 1 to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement.
99 Step Two: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement after the first step has been completed, the Annual Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property at up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Annual Special Tax A to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement.

Step Three: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, the Annual Speci al Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Assigned Annual Special Tax A for Undeveloped Property applicable to each such Assessor ’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement.

Step Four: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, then the Annual Special Tax A on each Assessor ’s Parcel of Developed Property for which the Maximum Special Tax A is the Backup Annual Special Tax A shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned Annual Special Tax A up to 100% of the Backup Annual Special Tax A as needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement.

SECTION G

PREPAYMENT OF ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX A
The following definition applies to this Section G:
“Outstanding Bonds” means all previously issued Bonds issued and secured by the levy of Special Tax A which will remain outstanding after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year, excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of Maximum Special Tax A.

Prepayment:

The Special Tax A obligation of an Assessor ’s Parcel of Developed Property, an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property, an Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property, and an Assessor ’s Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property may be prepaid in full, provided that there are no delinquent Special Tax A, penalties, or interest charges outstanding with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time the Special Tax A obligation would be prepaid. The Prepayment Amount for an Assessor ’s Parcel eligible for prepayment shall be determined as described below.
100

An owner of an Assessor’s Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax A obligation shall provide the City with written notice of intent to prepay, and within five (5) days of receipt of such notice, the City shall notify such owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by Improvement Area No. 11 in calculating the proper amount of a prepayment. Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the City shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount of such Assessor ’s Parcel.

The Prepayment Amount for each applicable Assessor ’s Parcel shall be calculated according to the following formula (capitalized terms defined below):

Payoff Amount
plus Administrative Fee
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows:

1. For an Assessor ’s Parcel of Developed Property and Provisional Undeveloped Property, compute the Assigned Annual Special Tax A applicable to the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property, compute the Assigned Annual Special Tax A as though it was already designated as Developed Property based upon the building permit issued or expected to be i ssued for that Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor ’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property compute the Assigned Annual Special Tax A as though it was already designated as Developed Property based upon the building permit issued or expected to be issued for that Assessor’s Parcel.

For each Assessor ’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property, Undeveloped Property, or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the present value of the remaining Annual Assigned Special Tax A payments using a discount rate that is equal to the weighted average interest rate on the Outstanding Bonds and the remaining term of the Outstanding Bonds
determined by a Financial Advisor selected by the City. For any prepayment that occurs prior to the first issuance of Bon ds, the discount rate used in this calculation shall be 5.5% and the term shall be the period in which the Special Tax A may be levied as provided in Section K less ten years. This is the “Payoff Amount.”

2. For each Assessor ’s Parcel of Developed Propert y, Approved Property, Undeveloped Property, or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, divide the Assigned Annual Special Tax A computed pursuant to the first paragraph in paragraph 1 of this Section G for such Assessor’s Parcel by the sum of the e stimated Assigned Annual Special Tax applicable to all Assessor ’s Parcels of Taxable Property at build out, as reasonably determined by the 101

City.

3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds. The product shall be the “Bond Redemption Amount”.

4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Bond Redemption Amount. This product is the “Redemption Premium.”

5. Compute th e amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Prepayment Amount until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds.

6. Determine the amount of interest earnings to be derived from the reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption Premium in State and Local Government Series Treasury
Obligations until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds.

7. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 6 from the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 5. This difference is the “Defeasance Cost.”

8. Estimate the administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment, including the costs of computation of the Prepayment Amount, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption. This amount is the “Administrative Fee.”

9. Calculate the “Reserve Fund Credit ” as the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the applicable reserve requirements, if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirements in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the applicable reserve funds on the prepayment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reserve fund requirement is satisfied by a surety bond or other instrument at the time of the prepayment, then no Reserve Fund Credit shall be given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reserve Fund Credit shall in no event be less than zero.

10. The “Amount to Call Bonds ” is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and the
Defeasance Cost, less the Reserve Fund Credit (the Amount to Call Bonds will be transferred to the debt service fund and used to defease or call bonds).
102

11. The Prepayment Amount is the sum of the Payoff Amount and the Administrative Fee.

12. From the Prepayment Amount, the Amount to Call Bonds will be transferred to the debt servi ce fund and used to defease or call bonds pursuant to the fiscal agent agreement or escrow agreement; the Administrative Fee will be transferred to the Administrative Fund or functionally equivalent fund or account pursuant to the fiscal agent agreement an d used to pay administrative expenses; the remainder will be transferred to the Surplus Taxes Fund or functionally equivalent fund or account pursuant to the fiscal agent agreement.

With respect to the Special Tax A obligation that is prepaid pursuant to this Section G, the City Council shall indicate in the records of Improvement Area No. 11 that there has been a prepayment of the Special Tax A obligation and shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act within thirty (30) days of receipt of such prepayment to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax A obligation and the release of the Special Tax A lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor’s Parcel to pay such Special Tax A shall cease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment will be allowed unless the amount of Special Tax A that may be levied on Taxable Property after such full prepayment, net of Administrative Expenses, shall be at least 1.1 times the regularly scheduled annual interest and principal payments on all Outstanding Bonds in each future Fiscal Year.

SECTION H

PARTIAL PREPAYMENT OF ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX A
The Special Tax A obligation of an Assessor ’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property, Undeveloped Property, or Provisional Und eveloped Property, for which a building permit has been issued or is expected to be issued, as calculated in this Section H below, may be partially prepaid, provided that there are no delinquent Special Tax A, penalties, or interest charges outstanding wit h respect to such Assessor ’s Parcel at the time the Special Tax A obligation would be prepaid.

The Partial Prepayment Amount shall be calculated according to the following formula:

PP = PG x F
The terms above have the following meanings:

PP = the Partial Prepayment Amount.

PG = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.

F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel is partially prepaying the Special Tax A obligation.

With respect to any Assessor ’s Parcel that is partially prepai d, the City Council shall 103

indicate in the records of Improvement Area No. 11 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax A obligation and shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act within thirty (30) days of rec eipt of such partial prepayment of the Special Tax A obligation, to indicate the partial prepayment of the Special Tax A obligation and the partial release of the Special Tax A lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor ’s Parcel to pay such prepaid portion of the Special Tax A shall cease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no partial prepayment will be allowed unless the amount of Special Tax A that may be levied on Taxable Property after such partial prepayment, net of Administrative Expenses, shall be at least 1.1 times the regularly scheduled annual interest and principal payments on all currently Outstanding Bonds in each future Fiscal Year.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: APRIL 2, 2024
TITLE: AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT - CROSSPOINT CHURCH.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
CrossPoint Church (“CrossPoint”) is located at 6950 Edison Avenue and has property configured in a manner so it has street frontage on the west side of Euclid Avenue (approximately 600 -feet north of Edison Avenue). In April 2010, the City approved an agreement with CrossPoint to allow temporarily truck trailer storage on the property fronting Euclid Avenue to provide rental income until the economy improved and the property could be marketed for its intended land use (multifamily residential) or for an exp ansion of the church campus. The original agreement term ended on December 31, 2014 and was extended under the City Manager’s authority until December 31, 2017. On December 11, 2017, the City Council approved a new agreement to be recorded against the pro perty to better document the temporary truck trailer parking authorization. The 2017 agreement was then extended on October 15, 2019 by a first amendment, and September 7, 2021 by a second amendment, with an additional year extension approved under the au thority of the City Manager per the terms of the second amendment, which brought the current expiration date to December 31, 2023. In exchange for continuing to allow temporary truck trailer storage on the site, CrossPoint previously agreed to allow the C ity to use their facilities (i.e., Fellowship Hall or an equivalent space, athletic courts or fields, classrooms, tables and/or chairs as needed, and necessary storage all generally depicted in Exhibit B to the Third Amendment) for City programming and other events at no cost to the City. The City is currently using the church facility annually for the City of Chino-Summer Camp. The church is now requesting an additional one-year extension to continue to allow the temporary truck storage use at the locati on to raise additional funds with the intention to construct a two story school building on the church campus (request letter attached to this report as Attachment B).

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
CrossPoint continues to plan for the future expansion of its facilit ies and athletic ministry program. In their request to extend the temporary truck parking on their site, the church mentioned they are in the initial stage of adding an educational building to provide ministry for the growing number of children who are par t of their ministry. The church believes the income received from the lease of the land is necessary to help fund the new building. As such, the church is requesting an extension to the existing agreement with the City. The attached amendment allows the church to continue to use the Euclid Avenue portion of their property for truck storage until December 31, 2024. CrossPoint has informed the City that they are in the process of selling the storage site to help fund the educational building.

It is important to note that all provisions from the previous agreement shall continue to apply, including CrossPoint’s obligation to allow the City to utilize the previously mentioned facilities for City programming at no cost to the City. The amendment also authorizes t he City to terminate the agreement should CrossPoint sell the site or any portion of the site. In addition, t he amendment also prohibits any significant expansion of the size or intensity of the temporary truck parking use.

The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the amendment. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council approve the Third Amendment to the agreement between the City of Chino and CrossPoint and direct the City Clerk file the executed Third Amendment with the San Bernardino Recorder’s Office.

TITLE: 2023 GENERAL PLAN AND HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL REPORT.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
In July 2010, the City Council adopted Envision Chino 2025, a comprehensive update to the City’s General Plan. Section 65400 of the Government Code requires the Planning Commission to review and forward to the City Council an annual report describing the C ity’s progress in implementing its General Plan and Housing Element. Once reviewed by the City, the report is required to be sent electronically to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), as well as the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

The City’s General Plan includes an introduction and Vision Chapter as well as 12 separate elements. The 12 elements cover the seven topics required by State Government Code Section 65302, including a Housing Element that is requ ired to be updated every eight years. The Housing Element update was completed by the City in January 2022 and covers the 2021 -2029 reporting period. While HCD has not yet officially certified the 2021 -2029 Housing Element, HCD is still requiring the City to provide annual housing progress reports. The 2021 -2029 Housing Element includes specific components such as an analysis of the existing housing stock, an analysis of existing and projected housing needs, and a quantification of the number of housing un its that will be developed, preserved, and improved through its policies and actions.

The General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Report has been completed and is attached for review by the City Council in accordance with State guidelines. The Gen eral Plan and Housing Element progress report ensures responsible long -range planning through the annual review of policies, strategies, and actions identified in each document.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Staff reviewed the General Plan goals, policies, and actions , as identified in the Implementation Program (Exhibit “A” to the General Plan Annual Progress Report). The Implementation Program incorporates a narrative of the goals and action statements from the General Plan that have been completed or were in the pro cess of being completed in 2023. During the 2023 calendar year, the City continued to implement many General Plan goals and policies through ongoing City programs, private development, and capital improvement projects.

The City also continues to implement the 2021-2029 Housing Element measures in an effort to add to the region’s supply of affordable housing through the multiple housing programs offered by the City. Exhibit “B” to the General Plan Annual Progress Report includes several tables that summarize the progress made in 2023 towards meeting the goals and objectives of the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element.

The Planning Commission reviewed the 2023 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Report at the March 20, 2024, Planning Commission meetin g, and recommended the City Council receive and file the reports.

Action Status of Progress/Comments
HC-1.1 A1 Develop programs to foster collaboration between local health officials and City staff and elected officials.

The Healthy Chino Coalition program, in place since 2004, continues to meet quarterly with over 20 active Coalition members including local health officials, physicians, nurses, educators, business owners, and City staff. The City actively participates in the quarterly CVUSD Health and Wellness Meetings, IEHP Community Partner Network Meetings, San Antonio Regional Hospital Health Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (HEDI), and Community Advisory Committee (CAC) meetings.

Healthy Chino continues to participate at the monthly Focus on Youth collaborative meetings.

These meetings foster new partnerships and create opportunities to expand new and existing programming. Healthy Chino staff attends the City of Chino quarterly Safety Committee Meetings.

The Healthy Chino Program continues to offer employee wellness challenges and healthy snack options. This is done by collaborating with different agencies and companies to help promote healthy living. Partnerships include Kaiser Permanente, San Bernardino Health Department, IEHP, Chino Valley Medical Center, Nutrishop, Planet Fitness, San Antonio Regional Hospital, Auraganic Jucery, San Bernardino County Master Gardeners, and SoCal Healthy Vending. The SoCal Healthy Vending company is a local Chino business.

HC-1.1 A2 Develop a list of best practices related to promoting healthy communities. Ideas on best practices are gained through the on-going attendance by Healthy Chino staff at the various health and wellness collaborative meetings and conferences. Programs that are currently in place that promote healthy practices are the Hike the Valley Program, established in 2013, where participants are guided through local trails (hikes average 2-5 miles in length and range from easy to advance levels). At the Chino Community Garden participants plant fruits/vegetables and learn gardening, nutrition, and sustainability through the garden's educational workshops. Educational programs include demonstration gardens, cooking classes, and children’s story time programs. The Community Garden will continue to offer its popular garden workshops, Children's Discovery workshops, and composting program. Bark Around Ayala Park continues to bring in over 400 participants, their dogs, and 30 local vendors for a fun and active morning. Healthy Chino contributes to and promotes the Chino Valley YMCA 5K Reindeer Romp, Run for Russ 5K, and the Chino Youth Museum 5K DairyAire each year. The City and Chino Valley YMCA partner on Healthy Family Day and hosted a fun, free annual community event on April 1, 2023 at Ruben S.

Ayala Park with over 750 participants who got to enjoy fitness demonstrations, kids' activities, inflatable obstacle course and activities, smoothie bike, healthy food, health/nutrition/fitness vendors, and water/environmental vendors. Healthy Chino partnered with the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) and the Public Works Department to host two Earth Day events on April 19 and 20, 2023, at the Chino Creek Wetlands & Educational Park. Over 3,500 people attended the event over the two days. The Healthy Chino program collaborates with the Chino Police Department to host the annual Bike Day event each year. This event hosts a 13-mile community bike ride and a 5-mile family bike ride. The Police Department hands out free bike helmets as well as conduct a safety obstacle course. Healthy Chino recruits a local bike shop, Bike Fix, as an event sponsor, and Bike Fix hosts a booth at the event offering free bike repairs to event attendees.

HC-1.2 A1 Develop a program to disseminate information about healthful eating habits. There are a number of methods that are used in the Healthy Chino Program to distribute information about healthy eating habits. These include: Healthy Family Day, with over 750 participants and 40 vendors; Grilling Classes offered to the community to help promote healthy eating habits; and partnering with CVUSD in recognizing National Nutrition Month. Healthy Chino also disseminates monthly emails on health tips to over 800 community members, City employees, Health Council members, Focus on Youth members, and CVUSD employees. Staff continues to visit local businesses to provide materials to educate and promote health and wellness to their employees, as well as continues to promote healthy snack and breakfast options in all City after school and before school programs. Healthy Chino offers the Healthy Kids Challenge at the High Five and SOAR Afterschool programs. This incorporates healthy eating and fitness weekly challenges for six weeks. The Healthy Chino Program has also begun to use Social Media to distribute Healthy Tips and program announcements. The Healthy Chino program works with the local WIC office to help distribute healthy food options and other important food nutritional facts.

HC-1.2 A2 Model best practices related to promoting healthy eating habits at government offices and government-organized events by serving only healthy snacks and refreshments.

The City hosts programs for employees to promote healthy eating habits including Healthy and Wellness Workshops, the Stairwell Art Program, and "Snack Attack" to promote healthy snack alternatives. The 6-week weight loss/fitness program, "Healthier You Challenge" continues to be offered twice a year (winter/spring) to the employees to help start off the year encouraging health and wellness. Healthy Chino also encourages employees to offer healthy snacks and refreshments during meetings and trainings. Healthy Chino offers healthy snacks and water to participants at all of its programs including Children's Discovery Workshops, Hike the Valley, and bike events to name a few. The Healthy Chino program worked with City Administration office to provide a healthy snack to the students who attended student government day. There are eight new Healthy Vending Machines available to employees and residents. They have been replaced to offer new healthy options to everyone who visits City facilities.

HC-1.2 A3 Promote government and school purchase of locally-produced and/or organic food. Healthy Chino has supported the Chino Community Garden, and the school gardens at Anna Borba, Cortez, Dickson, Newman, and Walnut Elementary Schools to encourage the community and students to grow their own food and to promote eating healthy. Healthy Chino staff provide tools and resources to these gardens as well as offers programming support throughout the year.

HC-1.2 A4 Work with vendors at the farmer’s market to develop programs under which vendors can accept food stamps and other public benefits.

The City does not currently have a City-sponsored farmers market. No work has begun on identifying or prioritizing starting a farmers market or agriculture drop-off sites (CSA Farm Share).

Previously, the City offered a farmers market at City Hall and then at The Preserve Community Center but was deemed unsustainable due to low sales.

LU-3.1 A1 Study the use of graduated-density zoning, which encourages parcel assembly by allowing higher densities for larger sites, or other policy-based mechanisms to encourage the development of projects on more than one parcel that are consistent with the Future Growth Vision Plan.

The concept of graduated-density zoning was studied during the 2010 General Plan Update. At that time, it was determined that it would not be incorporated into specific General Plan policies or Zoning Ordinance provisions, and would be evaluated again in future updates.

LU-3.1 A2 Work with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) when it prepares its Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) to ensure that sites from the Future Growth Vision Plan are included in the SCS.

The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) was approved by SCAG in 2020. The RTP/SCS did not include the future growth areas because the land uses for these sites have not changed.

LU-3.1 A3 Consider revising the Future Growth Vision Plan if SCAG’s ultimate SCS map is not consistent with it.

On January 4, 2022, the City adopted the 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element to be in compliance with SCAG’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation. Many areas within the Future Growth Vision Plan have been identified as potential sites to meet the RHNA allocation. These sites would allow for higher densities up to 30 dwelling units to the acre or have the potential for mixed-use development.

LU-3.2 A1 Provide expedited review of projects on the four corners of Walnut and Central Avenues that meet both the land use regulations and the design guidance provided for these properties and for mixed-use properties in general.

There has not been any development activity at this intersection during this reporting period.

LU-3.3 A1 Work with landowners along Riverside Drive to consolidate parcels so they can create large enough spaces for new development of either mixed-use or multi-family residential buildings.

On some portions of Riverside Drive where the parcels are very shallow due to dedications for the street right-of-way, this will need to include consolidation with parcels that do not currently front upon Riverside Drive. In this case, the landowners will need to enter into an agreement to share profits according to the original size of each parcel before right-of-way has been dedicated.

There has not been any development activity in this area during this reporting period. In the future, if interest in development of properties in this area is received, the City will explore opportunities to coordinate with other landowners along Riverside Drive to encourage consolidation of parcels.

LU-3.4 A1 Existing uses south of the Civic Center are permitted to continue, but are encouraged to upgrade their facilities to provide better pedestrian amenities on sidewalks and open areas.

The City will continue to work with land owners to ensure pedestrian facilities are upgraded with any future development in this area. However, there has not been any mixed use or residential development activity in this area.

LU-3.4 A2 Work with residential, commercial, and industrial landowners to consolidate parcels so they can create large enough spaces for development of live-work lofts on the block bounded by Central Avenue, F, 5th, and G streets.

In the future, if there is interest for development in this area, the City will explore opportunities to coordinate with other landowners to encourage consolidation of parcels.

LU-4.1 A1 Work with San Bernardino County to revise the County’s General Plan to reflect the land use designations shown in the City’s Land Use Map.

Upon adoption of the City's General Plan 2010, City staff transmitted updated land use information to the County. The County has since updated portions of their General Plan to reflect the land use designations shown in the City's Land Use Map. The City will coordinate with the County of any future approved land use changes to keep the map updated.

LU-5.2 A1 Develop a program to provide incentives for projects that support smart growth goals and reduce greenhouse gases, such as mixed-use, infill, and transit-oriented development projects.

On November 17, 2020, the City Council approved an update to the City's Climate Action (CAP) Plan in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 46% lower than the 2008 baseline by the year 2030. A list of mandatory and voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction measures are listed within the CAP that an applicant will be required to implement into their project, thus resulting in a reduction of greenhouse gases. In addition, on January 4, 2022, the City adopted the 2021- 2029 Housing Element, that identifies potential housing sites for high densities and mixed-use developments.

LU-8.1 A2 Identify and prioritize neighborhoods underserved by healthy food sources for development of healthy food sources.

There are existing programs in place that serve low-income neighborhoods in the City, such as the Summer Lunch Program held in Monte Vista Park offered in July and August for children and youth 18 years or younger.

LU-8.1 A4 Identify appropriate locations for farmers markets and community-supported agriculture drop- off sites and prioritize such uses in these areas.

The City does not currently have a City-sponsored farmers market. No work has begun on identifying or prioritizing starting a farmers market or agriculture drop-off sites (CSA Farm Share).

Previously, the City offered a farmers market at City Hall and then at The Preserve Community Center but was deemed unsustainable due to low sales. Healthy Chino staff experimented with a CSA farm share program in 2015 but was also canceled due to declined sales.

CC-2.3 A1 Develop a list of key entryways to Chino and establish a program to provide entry features for each of them. Entryways shall incorporate landscaping, trees, and/or architectural elements to enhance a sense of arrival to the City.

There are currently enhanced entryway landscape and signage treatments along Central Avenue at the Pomona 60 Freeway and in the southerly part of the City. A design has been approved for the 60 Freeway and Central interchanger that includes City identifying features such as the City seal.

Work began on the interchange in the summer of 2021 and will be completed by Spring of 2024.

The City will continue to consider other entries as deemed appropriate on a yearly basis.

Coordinate and implement study recommendations with adjacent jurisdictions as well as California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), if applicable.

Signal timing studies are done on an on-going basis for intersections that are congested, and modifications are made by the City as deemed appropriate and feasible. Coordination is continuely coordinated with adjacent jurisdictions, SBCTA and Caltrans if needed. In addition, Mountain Avenue, Edison Avenue and Central Avenue have current traffic signal coordination timing and additional corridors are to be included as signal interconnect projects complete communications to them.

TRA-1.3 A1 Establish criteria for which developments will be allowed to construct private streets. The Specific Plans for College Park and The Preserve master-planned communities identify where private streets can be utilized, and include design standards for private streets. As new development proposals are reviewed in these Specific Plan areas, the benefits and/or impacts of designating proposed streets as private are evaluated. On February 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2019-002, amending Section 19.06.040 of the Chino Municipal Code to clarify that any single-family residential developments having private streets approved before January 1, 2019, where the private streets otherwise meet the criteria of the Subdivision Map Ordinance, shall be deemed valid and duly authorized, but that no further private streets shall be authorized within single-family residential developments thereafter. When development proposals are reviewed for areas outside of these Specific Plan areas where infill development might occur, the street types will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine the benefits and/or impacts of designating them as private.

TRA-1.3 A4 Identify possible funding sources for traffic calming treatments, including grants to investigate the feasibility of establishing a residential assessment district to allow residents to participate in funding construction of traffic calming treatments in their neighborhood.

Opportunities to apply for grant funding for traffic calming improvements or grants for the establishment of a residential assessment district are regularly monitored, and where appropriate, grant applications are applied for. In FY 20/21, the City received a $72,000 grant to create a Local Road Safety Plan from the State for the State Highway Improvement Plan , which will be used to guide future local road safety improvement grant applications. The LRSP was completed in October 2022. Staff is reviewing future Active Transportation Program grants and Highway Safety Improvement Program grants for potential project funding.

TRA-3.1 A1 Develop a truck loading policy for new development that ensures new truck-dependent businesses limit their impact on neighborhoods and business districts.

The Chino Zoning Ordinance has existing provisions for industrial businesses that are located adjacent to non-industrial uses that require appropriate buffering techniques, such as increased setbacks, screening and dense landscaping to be provided in order to mitigate any negative effects of industrial operations such as truck loading. In addition, as industrial development applications are reviewed, the locations of loading areas are evaluated to mitigate any potential impacts to adjacent uses.

TRA-6.2 A2 Study individual accident locations, especially “hot spots” with multiple accidents, and identify necessary upgrades to reduce the incidence of accidents.

Accident reports are regularly reviewed on an ongoing basis to develop a list of intersections with a high volume of incidents. "Hot spot" locations and prioritization of locations are included in the Local Roadway Safety Plan completed in 2022. As funding becomes available, projects are added to the 5-Year Capital Improvement Program. Traffic calming measures are also incorporated into CIP projects when practical.

TRA-6.3 A1 Develop an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan which identifies locations and funding commitments to provide access to public rights-of-way, including curb cuts and other improvements targeted toward persons with disabilities.

Beginning in 2016, the City began evaluating its buildings, parks, and services for accessibility. In 2021 and 2022, sidewalks and curb ramps began to be inventoried as a baseline for the public rights-of-way. In 2023, the City completed a full, Citywide self-evaluation and ADA transition plan consisting of City-owned buildings and parks, public right-of-way facilities, and City policies and procedures. The final transition plan addresses identified barriers with a timeline and projected funding sources for the completion of improvements. The ADA Transition Plan was adopted by City Council in February 2024. Annually, the City applies for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and Transportation Development Act (TDA) funding for sidewalk and ADA ramp improvements for locations throughout the City. These funding streams will address specific accessibility barriers for people will disabilities that are identified in the transition plan.

TRA-10.2 A1 Prepare a Bicycle Master Plan for the City of Chino that establishes where and how the City’s bicycle network will be expanded, including standards to guide review of roadway enhancements or other changes to the roadway system. This plan should be consistent with requirements for allocation of State Bicycle Transportation Account funds and federal funding for bicycle improvements that cannot be allocated without an approved Bicycle Master Plan.

The plan should also include criteria for funding prioritization of improvements.

In January 2016, the City adopted the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The Plan provides a guide to improve bicycling and walking activity throughout the City by the implementation of various improvements to roadways that include the addition and/or modification of such features as street trees, sidewalks, benches, planter boxes, and Americans with Disability Act (ADA) access. Since the Plan’s adoption, the City was awarded $127,648 in 2015 and $440,081 in 2017 for the TDA Bicycle and Pedestrian Grant and TDA Transit Improvement Grant. The City has completed the TDA Bicycle Improvements. Additionally, as the city continues annual pavement rehabilitation projects, each corridor is reviewed to determine if bike facilities can be added to the project. With the General Plan Update, the Bicycle Master Plan will be reviewed, updated and fully incorporated into the General Plan as part of the circulation element.

TRA-10.2 A2 Develop maps or signage indicating local and regional bicycle routes, including distances to key destinations, such as parks and schools.

All new construction projects affecting bike facilities include bike path and trail signage guiding bicyclists around the network of bike facilities. Further, multi-use trails in Ayala Park and within the SCE Easement include mile marker signage.

TRA-10.2 A3 Promote bicycle-related programs for the community. Healthy Chino staff continues to offer bicycle-related programs in the community. Healthy Chino staff has partnered with the Chino Police Department in planning and running these programs.

Chino Bike Day was held on May 13, 2023 at Ruben S. Ayala Park. Chino Bike Day provides a community bike ride (13 miles), a family bike ride (5 miles), bicycle safety workshop, helmet giveaway/fitting, bike obstacle course, free bike repairs, smoothie bike, and kids' activities.

TRA-11.1 A1 Develop a Pedestrian Master Plan that evaluates the pedestrian transportation system for discontinuities and prioritizes streetscape improvements such as street trees, sidewalks, benches, planter boxes, ADA access, trails, and other amenities in existing neighborhoods.

Key pedestrian corridors and potential funding sources to complete the Plan should be identified as part of the Plan.

TRA-11.1 A2 Develop a set of criteria for funding prioritization of planned pedestrian improvements, based on need/deficiency, anticipated demand, anticipated cost/benefit ratio, geographic equity, and funding opportunity.

The Chino Office of Economic Development has reinstated it's business visit program and weekly visitis with companies throughout the City. In order to assist small and large firms, consulting is available and is provided in partnership with business assistance agencies, including SB County, Chaffey College, SCORE, IEWBC and Small Business Development Center, to address specific needs and general information. The Office of Economic Development, on an on-going basis, continues to build and nurture relationships with manufacturing firms throughout the City. Through one-on-one meetings as well as assistance during property improvements to help facilitate growth, the Development Services Department works diligently to assist them.

ED-1.2 A5 Identify vacant sites appropriate for industrial uses, provide a list of those sites to potential businesses seeking to locate in Chino, and consider advertising those sites to potential tenants.

The Chino Office of Economic Development provides lists of available sites, through the use of a number of online listing services including but not limited to CoStar, Loopnet and Property Shark.

The City goes to great lengths to identify and qualify prospective development opportunities.

Through online searches and the mining of our internal databases, the City reviews a comprehensive list of developable site opportunities for the continued and anticipated growth of our industrial market. In addition, the City shares the information with developers, site selectors, and brokers. The predominance of large industrial sites within Chino have been developed so the City now focuses on matchmaking of the remaining parcels and seeks out potential redevelopment sites, while actively anticipating the potential annexation of sites in the unincorporated portion of San Bernardino County.

ED-1.4 A1 Focus retail recruitment and business attraction efforts around existing concentrations like the North Central Avenue Area, the Spectrum, City Hall and The Preserve.

ED-1.4 A3 To attract retail that is currently lacking, such as grocery stores, work with brokers and existing stores to identify sites that could be appropriate for a specific store, and actions or investments that could be taken to attract them.

The City meets with real estate professionals, specific retailers’, tenant representatives and retail developers throughout the year in the City to attract specific retail uses to the City. In addition to general grocers, citizens of Chino have indicated the desire for specialty stores like meat markets, Asian markets, Hispanic markets as well as produce focused markets. Community members have also expressed the desire to see more sitdown restaurants, coffee options and new or unique concetpts that are not currently in our surrounding communities. With continued residential growth on the horizon, Chino works diligently to manage the needs of its constituents by working with retailers, site selectors and brokers to bring those services to the City in particular to those needs that are lacking in and around The Preserve.

ED-1.4 A4 Monitor vacancy rates and sales tax performance for retail areas in the City in comparison to regional and statewide averages. If vacancy rates and sales tax performance fall below average, work with property and business owners to either improve performance or determine an alternative use for the site.

The City maintains a database of available retail space vacancies and leasing contact information, along with quarterly retail sales tax data for the City, SB County, and the State. This data along with other retail and demographic data provides staff with pertinent information to provide to retail center leasing representatives, center managers and other retail real estate representatives to help identify methods to improve their performance or determine an alternative use for their space or site. Chino continues to surpass local, regional and state averages. With the lowest vacancy rate in the Inland Empire for Industrial, Chino continues to build and grow. In addition, commercial and retail rates are very competitive for western San Bernardino County while surpassing state and national averages. Sales tax is a continued driver for the City with the bulk of revenue derived through medical device manufacturng and auto sales. Traditional brick and mortar are complimented by online and ecommerce driven consumers.

ED-1.4 A5 Actively recruit retail stores by marketing available sites and devoting staff time to working with potential tenants.

Attracting retailers is ongoing through various marketing efforts. At local, regional and national events, we provide current demographic and vacant retail property information to verify the value of locating in Chino. Recruitment of retail opportunities is a daily event for the staff at Chino. In cooperation with advertising and retail trade shows, the City of Chino works diligently at courting the newest and biggest retailers in the world. In the last year Chino has garnered the interest of Chik-fil- A, Raising Caines, In-n-Out and many other marquee brands. Staff continues to find the perfect location for their restaurants. Our Development Services Division is in the process of updating our General Plan and improving opportunities for a variety of new and transitioning industries to have flexible location options in Chino.

ED-2.1 A2 Periodically study the skills and education levels of Chino residents and use the information as a guide for recruiting new firms to the City.

Demographic information including education levels, income and ethnicity are available upon request from the City of Chino. The information is provided on the City's website and can be downloaded for print. Information on the City is sourced from a number of different areas including EDD, BOE, HDL, ESRI, CoStar and others, with specific reports generated from Claritas. At this time our City is overly educated for our business types. Because of this many individuals have seek employment outside of the City. Research indicates that the City of Chino has nearly 300 higher education institutions within 50 miles, including vocational schools, trade and technical schools, community colleges, colleges/university's and post graduate institutions. This creates a quality workforce that enable Chino to attract quality businesses with well payed jobs.

ED-2.1 A3 Encourage local businesses to hire local residents. Strategies to do this could include developing a local job board to advertise vacancies to local residents and working with local educational institutions to provide job fairs.

Although the City continues to have a very low unemployment rate, staff works closely with the San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board to ensure that there are new opportunities for job growth in the City. The City facilitates this by participation in job fairs, hosted by SB County, Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce and other Inland Empire cities. The City coordinates the recruitment and hiring services provided by San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board, which provides its database of local and regional job seekers looking to work closer to their City of residence. Today's goal is to attract and retain higher paying technical and professional jobs. We desire for our citizens to not only live and play in Chino, but to work here too.

ED-2.1 A4 Study whether the City should give preference to local suppliers and firms when issuing requests for goods or services.

A joint-use agreement was executed for The Preserve Community Center located in The Preserve Specific Plan, which is a joint-use facility between the City and Chino Valley School District and provides a gymnasium, fitness room and multi-purpose room. Other opportunities to implement this action will be evaluated on an on-going basis and will be considered for possible implementation on a yearly basis. The City completed a Parks & Facilities Master Plan evaluating programs, existing parks and facilities, and identifying areas within the City that lack in park and recreation facilities. The Master Plan is a living document, reviewed annually; with an update to be completed every five years. Based on the outcome from the Parks and Facilities Master Plan, the City is in the process of identifying vacant land in the north section of Chino to be purchased and developed into park land. The City continues pursuing grant funds to build a larger recreation center located at Monte Vista Park, and to expand the park site adding additional recreation amenities. The City received a grant through the State of California, Department of Parks and Recreation Office of Grants and Local Services to develop a park on the southeast corner of Central Avenue and Phillips Boulevard, now named Chino Rancho Park. This new 1.18 acre park will consist of an entry monument for the City and park, parking lot, restroom building, an all- inclusive playground, shade pavilion, two pickle ball courts, outdoor fitness equipment, open space, walking trail with benches, and drought tolerant landscaping.

The police department has continued to expand its use of its existing technology to include adding License Plate Readers, POD Cameras, FLOCK cameras and other stationary cameras throughout the city in an effort rapidly and efficiently identify offenders and crime trends.

The Chino Police Department opened its Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC) in 2019. The center consists of a robust video wall, an interface Smartboard, and two workstations staffed by Crime Analysts. The RTCC is the information hub for a multitude of technology that includes camera feeds from both public and private cameras, intersection cameras, Police Observation Devices, ALPR’s, and law enforcement databases. The mission of the RTCC is to provide officers with critical real-time information while responding to emergency calls to provide a safer environment for the officers and community. Additionally, immediately after a crime has been committed the RTCC is able to utilize available resources to investigate the crime and provide this information to the investigating officers. The RTCC has been very successful in preventing and combating crime in the Chino community.

Further, individual units (i.e. Traffic, Detectives, Community Relations, etc.) conduct routine strategy meetings to discuss crime/quality of life issues in the City and come up with a comprehensive approach to address them. Along with their focus on homelessness and outreach, the Quality-of-Life Team also coordinates efforts to reduce reoccurring issues that affect residents, business owners and visitors in the city. Beginning in early 2024, the team will add two dedicated social workers via the recently added positions of Homeless Coordinator and Assistant Homeless Coordinator.

Due to an increase in Organized Retail Theft, the Chino Police Department partnered with the California Highway Patrol’s Organized Retail Theft Taskforce and local retailers to combat these thefts in the city with several planned operations. The police department is thankful for the partnerships with local retailers who played an important role in the success of the operations.

The Community Relations Unit continues to hold Business Watch and Neighborhood Watch meetings to discuss safety tips and current crime trends. As part of the ongoing efforts to engage with our diverse community, two informational meetings were held at the police department for our Mandarin speaking community. The purpose of the meetings was to provide information regarding available police services, learn more about the members of the Chino Police Department, and education on safety and prevention tips. One important goal for the Mandarin Community Meeting is to show our residents that they need not be afraid of reporting crimes or asking for assistance from Chino police officers. The unit also provides free CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) inspections to local businesses and apartment complexes to assist in reducing crimes of opportunity by focusing on different intervention methods such as access control, natural surveillance, territorial reinforcement, and maintenance/operational practices.

Another way the Department is able to monitor crime rates from a public partnership perspective is through the use of crimemapping.com. This free online program allows members of the public to access information on crime reports based on date/time, location, and crime type. This also makes it very easy for personnel to view visual maps of information which can be shared with the public.

The resource is routinely utilized in conjunction with neighborhood watch meetings. Lastly, the Chino Police Department continues to utilize a mobile app that allows for online reporting, reporting traffic or quality of life concerns, submitting a tip, and much more. The app is free for download on both iOS and Android devices. The police department website was recently updated to allow for easier navigation and reporting. Through the website, users can receive information on numerous topics including obtaining a police report, vehicle impounds and tows, crime statistics, traffic and citation information, and community events.

Currently, the Chino Police Department utilizes grant funds to assist with crime prevention programs, alcohol prevention/education/enforcement (Alcohol and Beverage Control grant), and National Night Out, multiple state-funded DUI education/enforcement grants, and the Click it or Ticket (Seatbelt enforcement grant).

PFS-7.1 A1 Consider participation and/or support of proposed conjunctive use programs and Chino Basin storage and recovery programs that allow the distribution of water between jurisdictions during periods of excess supply. These programs would be administered through participation in the Chino Basin Watermaster and Water Facilities Authority.

Throughout the year, the City continues to be involved in discussions with MWD, IEUA, and other local water purveyors to implement additional conjunctive use programs.

PFS-7.1 A2 Evaluate the feasibility of establishing interconnections or water conveyance plans between the Chino water system and the water systems of the following neighboring water agencies:
• Monte Vista Water District
• City of Ontario (a connection currently exists at Benson Avenue) • City of Chino Hills
• Jurupa Community Services District
• San Antonio Water Company
• City of Upland
• City of Pomona
• The Inland Empire Utilities Agency
Discussions between the City and various local water agencies regarding water system interconnections are ongoing. A dedicated interconnection exists between Chino and Ontario.

Chino currently has the ability to receive water from Water Facilities Authority (WFA) member agencies (i.e. Monte Vista Water District, Upland, Ontario, and Chino Hills) through the WFA surface water treatment plant. Similarly, Chino has an ability to receive desalted groundwater not used by Chino Basin Desalter Authority member retail agencies, Jurupa Community Services District, Santa Ana River Water Company, Norco, Ontario, and Chino Hills.

PFS-7.5 A1 Work with the Inland Empire Utilities Agency to provide recycled water systems, including pipelines, pump stations, and storage facilities to serve primarily public facilities, schools, and parks as funding becomes available.

IEUA currently supplies recycled water to the City at several locations. The City meets with IEUA representatives on a regular basis to discuss recycled water plans and activities.

PFS-7.5 A2 Develop a plan to irrigate agricultural lands with recycled water, both inside and outside of the City's service area, where feasible.

Recycled water is currently used to irrigate agricultural lands in the City. The City maintains a plan that identifies the users already connected to a recycled water line as well as those potential users.

AQ-1.1 A1 Implement traffic features such as roundabouts or the use of integrated signalization to improve traffic flow and reduce emissions from vehicle idling and stop and start.

Roundabouts and integrated signalization have been implemented in the City on a limited basis.

Additional implementation of these features will be evaluated as opportunities arise, and considered in future development proposals.

AQ-1.1 A2 Install LED traffic signals throughout Chino to reduce the City’s electricity consumption. 100% of the traffic signals in the City are LED. There is currently a program in place whereby the lights are replaced every 5 years, and each year, the replacement is scheduled and budgeted for rotating sectors of the City.

SAF-2.1A 1 Annually review any new information available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the state Department of Water Resources to determine if updated flood zone information is available.

The City receives updates to flood zone maps from FEMA every year, and this information is reviewed to determine if there are any updates to the maps.

SAF-6.1 A1 Regularly update and implement the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP).

The City's Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) was approved by the State in 2014. The City's first local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) was approved by FEMA in 2012. The LHMP is updated every 5 years. In 2016, the City prepared an update to the LHMP and was approved in 2018. The City has received notification that it has been awarded Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funds to update its LHMP. The LHMP update process will begin in 2024. The City will continue to review both plans regularly and make updates as needed.

Goal SAF-6 Reduce the risk to the community from natural and man-made disasters and terrorism events.

Goal AQ-1 Preserve and improve air quality in Chino and the region.

Safety Element
Goal SAF-2 Reduce hazards related to flooding and inundation.
