HOUSING COMMITTEE
AUGUST 11, 2025 MINUTES 2
Mr. Chen addressed the affordability percentage requirements and a letter received from a member of the public. He stated that this is the most problematic change for the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Any changes would need to go through the review process again with the public and HCD. Staff recommends this not be changed.
Bob Nigg, resident, addressed the Committee and stated that he agrees with the reduction in building height and that there should be no storage in mixed use overlay areas. He noted that he believes the March 15 report from Keyser Marston is flawed.
The Committee recommended staff evaluate having a new financial analysis completed; removing public storage facilities from mixed use overlays; setting maximum building heights at no more than 40'; and requesting an official recommendation from HCD.
3. 13286 Third Street. Discussion regarding options and recommendations for the sale of the single-family home located at 13286 Third Street for the purpose of creating an affordable homeownership opportunity.
Christopher Corbin, Deputy Director of Development Services, and Warren Morelion, Director of Development Services, provided a presentation on the item.
Stubbie Barr, resident, addressed the Committee and stated that staff's proposal creates public housing and cannot be passed to a private developer. It can only be used for the purposes outlined in the Long Range Property Management Plan.
The Committee recommended staff look into the funding source used to purchase the property and report back to the Committee.
4. West End Regional Navigation Center. Update on the City of Chino's participation in the proposed West End Regional Navigation Center.
Christopher Corbin, Deputy Director of Development Services, Linda Reich, City Manager, and Police Captain Ryan Croley, updated the Committee on the current status of the proposed West End Regional Navigation Center.
