Preferred Land Use Plan and Key Strategies
Chino 2045 General Plan
2 Background
Chino began as an agricultural community and grew with the construction of freeways and airports connecting the community to the region and the nation. Today, Chino is a diverse and growing community with an enviable quality of life and a distinctive small- town ambiance. Between 2000 and 2021, the total population of Chino grew by 38.4 percent and the city is projected to grow at a similar rate over the next 20 years, adding 12,000 new homes and 9,150 new jobs by 2045. As the community looks to the future, a key challenge for the General Plan Update will be managing growth in ways that bring prosperity for the whole community while preserving and enhancing the unique character and spirit of the community.
Areas where vacant, underutilized, and City-owned land are clustered present the best opportunities for accommodating new housing and jobs. In Chino, key areas with the most potential to accommodate new development are shown on the map at right.
With relatively little vacant land, infill development will be an important focus of the next phase of the City’s evolution. There are some older, underutilized shopping centers that can be revitalized with new uses to serve community needs, and City-owned properties can also offer opportunities for redevelopment, particularly when located adjacent to vacant and underutilized land.
Community Engagement Recap
Community engagement is a vital component of the project, and to date over 2,350 Chino residents have weighed in on their priorities and preferences for the future. Early phase outreach led to the creation of a set of Guiding Principles that describe the kind of community Chino residents and businesses would like to see in 2045. Then between May 2023 and June of 2024, more than 1,300 Chino residents weighed in on potential land use, transportation, and design concepts for the key areas. The concepts respond to market opportunities and represent strategies for helping to achieve the shared vision for the future described in the Guiding Principles.
Outreach activities included two open house meetings attended by more than 250 community members, presentations to various groups and organizations, a statistical survey of a representative sample of Chino voters, and a community wide online survey that garnered 619 responses. Based on community feedback, a preferred land use plan and a set of key strategies for land use, transportation, and community character has been prepared to present the preferred ideas and concepts that have emerged from the process.
Preferred Plan and Key Strategies
The Preferred Land Use Plan and Key Strategies (Preferred Plan) summarizes the key outcomes of Phase 2 of the General Plan Update project and presents the preferred ideas and concepts that have emerged from the process. It reflects extensive community outreach regarding key concepts for land use, transportation, and community character to incorporate in the updated General Plan.
The Preferred Plan focuses on key areas of Chino where change is foreseeable and presents ideas and concepts to move a shared community vision for the future of these areas forward. Outside of these key areas, the 2045 General Plan will maintain the existing urban form and enhance the character and quality of life in Chino’s established neighborhoods, and it will support continued implementation of The Preserve Specific Plan. The emphasis is on strategies for land use, transportation, and community character as these topics most influence the technical modeling of traffic, noise, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, and utility demand to be done in the next phase of the work.
On July 30, 2024, the Preferred Plan will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council to confirm the broad policy direction. Based on decision-maker feedback, the Preferred Plan will be refined and used to guide preparation of the full Draft General Plan during Phase 3. The Preferred Plan will also serve as the basis for technical modeling of traffic, noise, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, and utility demand through 2045. The ideas and concepts in the Preferred Plan do not necessarily represent the final policy direction to be included in the General Plan; rather they are intended as a starting point for discussion and refinement. During Phase 3, the concepts will be reviewed further with major property owners and refined with input from the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) and City staff and translated into a set of policies and standards in the Public Review Draft General Plan and Zoning Code. At the end of Phase 3, the public review drafts will be released for public comment and then presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for consideration at adoption hearings.

3 Chino 2045 General Plan - Guiding Principles
The Guiding Principles describe a shared image of the kind of place that Chino residents would like their city to be in 2045. Between October 2022 and February 2023, over 1,400 Chino residents provided input that has shaped these Guiding Principles. They represent an important first step for long-range planning, setting the tone for the General Plan Update by identifying key themes and community priorities.

4 Downtown
Context
In the 1940s, anchored by four movie theaters, Downtown Chino was where people went for entertainment. Looking to the future, through community engagement activities, Chino residents have expressed strong support for the idea of creating a mixed use Downtown district in the heart of the city to serve as a focal point for civic, cultural and community life. There is great potential to offer a variety of shopping and dining options, as well as cultural and recreational activities and events all in a walkable, memorable environment.
There are some underused commercial properties on Central Avenue that could be redeveloped with new uses, and the City is the major landowner in the area, meaning it is well-positioned to help make the vision a reality. City-owned land can be redeveloped through public-private partnerships to help move the community vision for downtown forward.
The existing historic buildings on D Street are a key part of what makes this area special, and the plan would focus on preserving and reusing these buildings while also creating design guidelines and standards with a heritage theme for new development. Locally-owned small businesses are also a priority for Chino residents to help ensure that downtown retains its distinctive small town character. A thoughtful parking management strategy for the area will also be essential.
Preserve Historic Buildings that Contribute to Downtown Character
Underutilized Properties Offer Opportunities for
Redevelopment
Downtown Chino Opportunity Area
2022 CIVIC CENTER MASTER PLAN
The City adopted a Civic Center Master Plan in 2022 which envisions the relocation of City facilities within the area, the creation of a large civic lawn with plaza space, new private development in commercial, residential, or mixed-use buildings, and construction of a parking structure. The introduction of new commercial and residential uses is integral to the viability of the downtown concept and the Master Plan can serve as a starting point for translating the vision into reality. To permit new housing in the area, a vote of the people would be required, consistent with the City’s residential growth control measure (Measure M).
Preferred Land Use Plan and Key Strategies
Chino 2045 General Plan
5 KEY MOVES
1. Implement a 3-pronged strategy to catalyze creation of a vibrant downtown:
• Partner with a commercial developer to curate a lively mix of new retail shops and restaurants with a balance
of recognizable brands and locally-ownedbusinesses;
• Lease some City land for residential development,
which would help build a customer base for businesses
and create a revenue stream;
• Use revenue generated from the land lease to fund
a new theatre or auditorium, as well as ongoing events
and activities downtown.
2. Create a new Downtown General Plan land use
designation which permits a vibrant mix of business,
entertainment, residential, cultural, and civic uses
to activate the area throughout the day and into the
evening. A mix of uses is encouraged but not required on individual sites in the area. Specific uses permitted on a site will be defined in the updated zoning. A new land use designation will signal that Downtown is intended as a
unique and distinct district within the city. The Downtown designation would clarify that new residential uses would only be permitted subject to a successful Measure M vote.
3. Identify core, civic, commercial-office, and residential- mixed use zones within the Downtown area and
establish permitted uses and development intensities for each. Focus the highest intensity of development along
D Street and Fifth Street to create a distinctive, walkable mixed use core between Sixth and Central, south of C
Street.
4. Establish design standards and distinctive branding to build sense of place and enhance a “small town” character.
Standards should emphasize human-scaled design and
promote a heritage character for the area with a variety of architectural features - vary rooflines, building materials, colors, and façade articulation to heighten visual interest.
Vibrant Downtown Concept
5. Streetscape improvements would include:
• Widening D Street to permit angled parking in proximity to shops and restaurants;
• Extending Fifth Street south to connect with Chino
Avenue and provide for angled parking along the new
segment, and allow for street closures for various civic events;
• Constructing generous sidewalks along D Street and
Fifth Street to allow for outdoor dining and seating;
• Installing high visibility crosswalks, special paving treatments at key intersections and traffic calming
measures to enhance walkability and pedestrian safety;
• Planting trees on street and in public spaces to provide shade and enhance the character of the area.
6. Complete planned bicycle network improvements to
facilitate connections from adjoining neighborhoods.
Bicycle lanes should generally be parallel to major
roadways to minimize the potential for vehicle conflicts and crashes. Bicycle parking racks should be provided
through the area, particularly in and adjacent to the core zone.
7. Incorporate the Master Plan concept for a large civic lawn with plaza space and connecting pedestrian paths.
Plan for additional park space within the Downtown area to help address projected need in this part of the city.
8. Develop a comprehensive parking management
strategy, which would include construction of a multi-
level parking structure and provision of angled street
parking in proximity to the commercial core. Permit
shared parking that facilitates the complementary uses
of the same spaces at different times of day. Encourage people to park once and walk when visiting downtown.
9. Provide incentives for small, locally-owned businesses.
This would include streamlined entitlements/ design
review, businesses start up support, and reducing or
eliminating parking requirements for commercial spaces
of 500 square feet or less, given the availability of parking on-street and in the new parking structure.
Vision: Downtown Chino is a focal point for civic, cultural, and community life, anchored by its charming historic buildings, the Civic Center, and a host of thriving restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues in a walkable environment.

Context
Riverside Drive and Central Avenue are important corridors that run through the heart of Chino and provide access to/ from State highways. Today, both corridors feature a mix of retail, restaurant, residential, and commercial uses; however, there are a number of prominent underutilized mid-sized shopping centers along both streets with high vacancy rates that have struggled to attract new tenants in recent years. Community outreach indicates that Chino residents place a high priority on revitalizing these corridors, filling vacant retail spaces, and attracting new uses to serve community needs.
As part of the Housing Element implementation, in 2023 the City adopted a mixed use zoning overlay that permits housing on some underutilized commercial properties along the corridors, and as residential development takes place new rooftops will provide additional patrons to help support local business vitality in the area. However, ownership patterns along the corridors make redevelopment challenging. Sometimes the parcels that make up a given center are owned by different entities, which can be a barrier to coordinated redevelopment. In other cases, the owners may have minimal debit obligations which makes even a limited revenue stream from existing tenants more attractive than the significant investment needed for infill redevelopment. A careful program of incentives will be needed to spur redevelopment of these sites and achieve community priorities.
Park space and roadway safety are also important issues to address in this area of Chino. The City’s Parks and Facilities Master Plan identifies the need for new park facilities to serve northern neighborhoods; however, this part of the city is largely built out and has relatively little vacant land for new parks. As redevelopment takes place in the area, strategies to incentivize new parks and recreational spaces, including mini-parks, pocket parks, and privately owned public open spaces, should be a priority. Additionally, intersections along these segments of Riverside and Central have some of the highest rates of pedestrian related collisions in the city. Riverside Drive in particular has closely spaced alleyways and driveways which increase the risk of collisions between turning vehicles and pedestrians or cyclists.

Preferred Land Use Plan and Key Strategies
Chino 2045 General Plan
7 KEY MOVES
1. Create a new Boulevard Mixed Use designation that provides for a mix of commercial- retail and services that cater to the daily needs of local residents together with multifamily housing where permitted under zoning. Permitted uses include retail, restaurants, personal services, public uses, professional business offices, hotels/motels, and housing. A mix of uses is not required on every site but is desired within the corridor segments. Mixed use may be in either a vertical format (multiple uses in the same building) or horizontal format (multiple single-use buildings on the same parcel).
Permitted development intensity for commercial-retail development would range from
0.3 to 1.0 FAR, with minimum FAR allowed by right and higher FAR permitted in exchange for onsite amenities like outdoor dining; mini-parks, plazas, and seating areas; family- friendly facilities; EV fast charging stations; entertainment programming; and public art.
2. Incentivize redevelopment of underutilized properties and the provision of desired amenities by creating a community benefits program that allows for transfer of FAR between parcels on the same site or within the Boulevard Mixed Use district. The program would allow one owner to purchase excess FAR from another property and apply it to their property in exchange for the provision of additional community benefits onsite. Transfers would be recorded and monitored to ensure the total permitted FAR along the corridor is never exceeded. The maximum permitted FAR on any one site would be limited to 1.25 FAR.
3. Establish a Business Improvement District (BID) to help fund installation and maintenance of streetscape improvements, landscaping, plazas, mini parks, banners, flower boxes, public art, events programming, and local business marketing efforts. The BID would be open to local businesses along the corridors.
4. Improve streetscape design along Riverside Drive. Landscaping and trees can be located to buffer pedestrians from traffic, enhancing safety and creating a more walkable environment. Additionally, a Class II bike lane with buffer can be installed along Riverside Drive to improve roadway safety and enhance connectivity to the area. The 2025 General Plan calls for Riverside to be widened to six lanes from its current four, but the roadway currently operates at LOS A (free flow conditions) and modeling of future conditions indicates that widening to six lanes will not be needed. Right of Way planned for widening can be repurposed to accommodate wider sidewalks and bike lanes.
5. Explore opportunities to close off some alleyways or driveways on commercial properties as a way to create opportunities for outdoor dining and pocket parks along Riverside Drive. This strategy can enhance the vitality and ambiance along the corridors while also helping to address a deficit of park space and reduce pedestrian involved crashes.
Boulevard Mixed Use ConceptVision: Foster attractive, human-scaled mixed-use development that contributes to local character and
enhances “small town” sense of place along key segments of Riverside and Central.

8 DEMAND PROJECTIONS
Medical office space is in high demand in the region and 70,000 square feet of medical office space has recently been constructed in the area. Additionally, the mixed use and affordable housing overlays adopted in 2023 as part of the Housing Element implementation apply to some
parcels within the shopping centers, and as residential development takes place new rooftops will provide
additional patrons to help support business vitality in the area.
Context
Near the intersection of Central and Philadelphia in the north of Chino, there are several large shopping centers that have struggled to attract tenants in recent years and now have higher vacancy rates. The centers with the highest vacancy rates are designated Regional Commercial in the 2025 General Plan, where permitted uses are relatively limited.
Average parcel size is much larger than in the mid-sized retail centers south of Highway 60 and proximity to the freeway can help attract visitors from out of town. The area is also a short drive from Ontario International Airport, located about
6.5 miles to the northeast.

9 KEY MOVES
1. Create a new Regional Mixed Use designation that
permits a wide range of retail, dining, entertainment,
office, lodging, recreational, and cultural facilities that cater to both visitors and Chino residents, together
with multifamily housing where permitted under
zoning. A mix of uses is not required on every site but is desired within the corridor segments. Mixed use may
be in either a vertical format (multiple uses in the same building) or horizontal format (multiple single-use
buildings on the same parcel). Permitted development
intensity for larger parcels in size would range from 0.3 to 0.6 FAR, and from 0.3 to 1.0 FAR for smaller parcels.
The minimum FAR allowed by right on all parcels and
higher FAR up to the maximum would be permitted in
exchange for onsite amenities such as outdoor dining;
mini-parks, plazas, and seating areas; family-friendly
facilities; EV fast charging stations; entertainment
programming; and public art.
2. Provide additional incentives for onsite amenities,
such as reduced parking standards and shared parking
between businesses that can use the same parking at
different times of day.
3. Focus economic development efforts to attract a
privately run regional sports facility, like an aquatics complex or volleyball center to a larger site in the
area. A survey of existing recreation facilities in the region indicates potential market opportunities for
these types of facilities, which can attract more users to the area and support the vitality of existing businesses.
4. Install digital signage visible from the major
roadways to advertise events and attract visitors.
Digital signage can also be an opportunity for
advertising revenue.
Regional Mixed Use Concept
5. Leverage proximity to the freeway and the potential
new sports facility to attract a new hotel to the area, providing lodging for out-of-town teams coming for
competitions and travelers arriving/departing from
Ontario International Airport.
6. Build a new multi-use trail along the flood channel
north of the 60 Freeway with connections into the
centers. A striped bicycle lane could be provided along the utility easement between two shopping centers
in the southeast quadrant of the opportunity area to
facilitate access.
Vision: Revitalize underutilized regional shopping centers in the area around Philadelphia and Central, support existing businesses, and position Chino as a regional destination for festivals, cultural, and sporting events.

In the southern part of the City there is a large property on the east side of Euclid Avenue that has been vacant for 20 years. Located between Bickmore and Pine, this property was envisioned as a regional retail shopping center when The Preserve Specific Plan was adopted in 2003, but the rise of internet shopping has changed market demand. In today’s market, constructing new physical retail space faces significant financial feasibility challenges. A large portion of the site is also subject to flood control protections. However, demand for light industrial space is strong in the region and projected to remain strong in the coming years, driven largely by growth of the logistics and warehousing sectors.
Chino’s proximity to major population centers in Los Angeles and Orange Counties and the ports will continue to make it an ideal location for light industrial development, which presents an opportunity to leverage market demand to bring retail to the site and make commercial-retail development feasible in this location.
CASE STUDY
The Merge in Eastvale involves a similar concept and can serve as a model for Chino. It’s a mid-sized shopping mall with retail and restaurants along the street frontage and industrial buildings behind, screened from view and designed to match other buildings on the site. The intent is to permit new retail stores and restaurants along Euclid Avenue, with light industrial or manufacturing uses at the back of the property and screened from the street and adjacent properties.
Good neighbor policies and standards will be needed to minimize conflicts with light industrial uses.
OTHER CRITICAL COMPONENTS
Completing the Pine Avenue Connector is a critical component of the strategy. This project would link Highway 71 with Euclid Avenue, creating an alternate commuter route through the City of Chino. The Euclid/Bickmore property is ideally located to capture commute traffic not only from residents of The Preserve and Eastvale, but also from future development at Ontario Ranch, where over 20,000 new homes are approved and planned for construction.

Preferred Land Use Plan and Key Strategies
Chino 2045 General Plan
11 KEY MOVES
1. Attract retail and restaurant uses to the northern
portion of the site and focus them along major street
frontages with good visibility and access, locating
light industrial and manufacturing uses behind the
commercial retail uses at the interior of the site.
2. Create a new Employment Mixed Use designation
that would apply to the majority of the site and
permit a mix of commercial retail, light industrial, and manufacturing uses with the following provisions:
• Require a minimum amount of commercial
retail development on the site, which may
include retail stores, restaurants, daily services,
professional offices, lodging, and cultural
entertainment uses. Permitted development
intensity for commercial-retail development would
range from 0.3 to 0.6 FAR, with the minimum FAR
allowed by right and higher FAR permitted in
exchange for onsite amenities, such as outdoor
dining; landscaped gardens, plazas, and seating
areas; play areas and family-friendly facilities;
EV fast charging stations; event spaces and
entertainment programming; public art.
• Permit light industrial and manufacturing uses if
commercial-retail space is also provided. The intent is to attract businesses involving production,
distribution, or repair with supporting office space
where operations are typically enclosed in a structure
and limited exterior storage or operations are fully
screened from public view. Permitted uses would
include light manufacturing, research and
development, small and medium scale warehousing
and distribution, and other similar uses. Breweries,
bakeries, or commercial kitchens would be
Employment Mixed Use Concept
encouraged. Ancillary office space would also be
permitted. Permitted development intensity for these
uses would be up to 0.6 FAR with maximum building
square footage established in zoning.
•Require approval of a site plan that demonstrates
adequate separation and buffering to minimize
conflicts between light industrial uses and other uses
on the site and surrounding properties.
3. Establish “good neighbor” policies and performance
standards for light industrial uses governing screening, landscaping, architectural design, noise, air quality,
and traffic and access. In particular, standards should facilitate access to the commercial-retail uses for
residents of surrounding properties, such as with
safe bicycle and pedestrian routes from adjoining
residential development.
4. Prioritize completion of the Pine Avenue Connector
linking Highway 71 with Euclid Avenue. This connection
will benefit residents in The Preserve and will also
provide access for commuters, helping to generate
a customer base for the commercial-retail uses on
the site, and it will facilitate access to the regional transportation network for light industrial uses.
5. Work with the Orange County Flood Control District
to create publicly-accessible passive open space on
the southern portion of the site for the enjoyment
of community members. Explore the potential for an
interpretive trail in addition to informal opportunities for hiking, dog walking, and picnicking.
Vision: Leverage market demand for light industrial/manufacturing spaces and capitalize on the site’s location on a major regional thoroughfare to realize vision for retail in the south of the city.

If the City acquires property
from the State on the west
side of Euclid Avenue, across
from the Chino Airport
in the future, plan for an
agricultural community,
featuring a heritage museum
with a working farm, a
training facility dedicated
to sustainable agricultural
practices, a farm-to-table
restaurant, an event space,
other potential commercial
opportunities, and a range
of new homes for young
families.
Policy guidance for future
uses on the former Ayala
Park driving range, including
providing onsite food and
beverage vending for game
and events days and/or
constructing a water park.
Policy framework to
guide future annexations
in northwestern SOI,
addressing coordination
with San Bernardino County,
infrastructure needs, and
phasing.
Maintain current land use
and zoning along Euclid, but
introduce design standards
to preserve views and install
a separated bicycle track
along the west side of Euclid
to enhance north-south
connectivity.
