68. The projected balance in the unrestricted fund balance on June 30, 2026, represents approximately 67% of budgeted FY26 expenditures.

Notable items in the budget include the following:
 New Chino Hills Fire Station (Station No. 68) - Once construction is complete and the station is certified for occupancy, the district will own and operate the facility, also assuming ongoing responsibility for staffing, operating, and maintaining the new fire station. The new station is projected to be operational 18 months after the beginning of construction.

Council Member Lucio spoke regarding the delays in approving the Housing Element stemmed from the issues discussed in Sacramento, and commented that the city lost opportunities to secure government funding because of the lack of a certified Housing Element.

Council Member Lucio commented regarding the Stark property and explained that although no price has been set for the purchase of the land, he noted that portions of that property will be earmarked for high density housing and commercial uses, instead of warehousing.

Council Member Flores commented that the City will see more projects like the Eden development's project, and encouraged residents to use social media to reach out to state legislators to express their concerns.

Mayor Ulloa spoke regarding the Eden development challenges, and expressed she is hopeful that the Stark facility will be the City's last opportunity to preserve agricultural heritage.

Council Member Flores encouraged continuous communication with the Chino Valley Unified School District to increase traffic safety for Chino High School students.

Mayor Ulloa asked why Jefferson Street at Benson Avenue was designated to have a stop sign in close proximity to a traffic signal . City Traffic Engineer Ralls explained the school district was not required to conduct a traffic analysis as part of the project and since the school has been reoriented staff is assessing if a traffic signal is warranted to improve pedestrian and traffic flow.

RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center

Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.

Council Action Advised by September 24, 2025
65 For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 24. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

General Assembly Voting Guidelines

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

67 Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a member-
informed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.

General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f). 68 MEMORANDUM

TITLE: LEWIS COMPANIES DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ANNUAL COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION FOR JULY 1, 2024 - JUNE 30, 2025.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
On June 6, 2023, the City entered into an Amended and Restated Development Agreement (“Development Agreement”) with three entities of the Lewis Operating Company known as Chino Development Corporation, Chino Preserve Development Corporation, and Chino Holding Company, LLC (collectively, “Owners”). The Development Agreement was executed to help guide the orderly development of The Preserve, which was envisioned as a master planned residential and commercial community. Further, the Development Agreement set out the terms and conditions for development on Owners’ property and established the rights and obligations of Owners and the City during the course of development.

The Amended and Restated Development Agreement supersedes the prior development agreement between the parties, entered into in June 2004, and amended several times (collectively, “Original DA”). At the time of the Original DA approval, Owners owned or controlled 1,125 of the approximately 2,500 developable acres in The Preserve. Since the time of the Original DA, Owners have acquired additional property for future development and disposed of some parcels to other de velopers to complete the required development obligations under the Original DA. The current Development Agreement provides for Owners to construct residential units and other improvements in The Preserve and comply with several obligations to the City within certain timelines, some of which are relevant to the reporting period covered by this report, as further described below.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The Development Agreement requires an annual review of the terms and conditions outlined in the agreement, along with the production of an Annual Monitoring Report. Pursuant to Article 11 of the Development Agreement, the Owners are required to produce an annual monitoring report demonstrating the Owners’ compliance with the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement. Upon receipt of the monitoring report, City staff is to conduct an analysis of the report to determine its accuracy and then submit a report to the City Council indicating compliance or lack of compliance with the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement.

The Owners have the right to request a formal Certificate of Compliance from the City Council.

On June 9, 2025 , Owners submitted the annual monitoring report to the City, and staff has completed its analysis of the information contained in the report. Based on the review of the annual monitoring report, staff has determined that the Owners are in compliance with a ll of the requirements of the Development Agreement for the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.

The following describes the requirements for the relevant reporting period and statements of Owners’ compliance with each requirement:
a. Per Section 4.3 “Schedule of Development” of the Development Agreement, Owners were required to prioritize Block 3 Low Density Residential Units. Owners are currently developing the required units in accordance with this requirement. The Owners are required to average 100 u nits per year retroactively between July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2025 for a total of 500 units. This has been completed. b. Per Section 5.4 “RV Parking” of the Development Agreement, Owners were required to contract with a third party to provide for 50 recreation al vehicle parking spaces at the College Park Community. Owners have contracted with a third party for such 50 RV spaces in accordance with this requirement.

c. Per Section 6.4.3 “Pine/Main Intersection Improvements Project Tr -123” of the Development Agreement, Owners were required to design and construct that portion of the intersection at Pine Avenue and Main Street located on Owners ’ property, as specifically described in the DIF/Nexus Report. Owners were also required to construct and dedicate enhanced lan dscape and streetscapes improvements to the Pine Avenue/Main Street intersection, as directed by the Planning Commission.

These improvements were completed in 2024.
d. Section 6.4.4(d) “Community Facilities” of the Development Agreemen t requires the Owners to meet, in good faith, monthly to collectively design the remaining Preserve facilities with the intent of agreeing upon a schematic design that is within the total budget costs for the remaining facilities. Owners have been meeting monthly wi th City staff, and a schematic design has been completed for a 42,395 square foot community building. The revised budget has not yet been approved.

Owners have requested that the City provide them with a formal Certificate of Compliance relating to this annual review. A copy of the Annual Monitoring Report is attached as Exhibit “A”.

A new group of national opioid settlements totaling up to $720 million has been reached with eight additional opioid manufacturers. These settlements are part of broader nationwide litigation efforts to hold opioid manufacturers accountable for their role in the opioid epidemic.

These settlements are separate from the Purdue/Sackler bankruptcy settlement and prior agreements with major distributors and retailers.

Each participating jurisdiction must affirmatively opt in by October 8, 2025, to be eligible for any share of the funding. Subdivisions do not need to have joined previous settlements to participate in these new ones.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
In California, settlement oversight remains coordin ated through the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), which sets guidelines for appropriate fund use. Settlement funds must be used for opioid abatement purposes. Examples of eligible uses include:
- Narcan (Naloxone) access and training for first responders - Youth prevention and education programs
- Behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment - Diversion programs and harm reduction strategies
- Community recovery support partnerships
Manufacturer Contributions (if maximum participation is reached):
- Mylan: up to $290M over 9 years
- Amneal: up to $74M (plus $177M in Narcan or $44M cash) - Hikma: up to $98M (plus $35M naloxone or $7M cash)
- Indivior: up to $75M (plus up to $140M in treatment products) - Apotex: up to $65M
- Alvogen: up to $19M
- Sun: up to $32M
- Zydus: up to $15M
The settlements also impose injunctive relief to restrict marketing, sales, and distribution practices and require safeguards to prevent diversion of opioids.

As with prior settlements, jurisdictions must sign and return formal documentation to participate.

The City of Chino has historically opted to have San Bernardino County administer its share of opioid settlement funds. This approach has minimized local administrative burdens but also meant no funds have been directly received for City-run programs.

If the City elects to participate in these new settlements, it is recommended that we again designate the County to administer our share. This allows continued access to regional support resources while preserving the opportunity to receive direct funds in the future should an eligible program be identified. Prior settlement administrators have confirmed this flexibility. 85 CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 2, 2025

ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT - CHINO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT (CVUSD) FOR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
The School Resource Officer (SRO) program was established in 1993. At that time, two Police Officers were assigned to the high schools with one at Don Lugo High School and other at Chino High School. In 2014, an additional Police Officer was assigned to Buena Vista High School. In 2023, a Police Officer was added to provide services to implement the Drug Abuse Resistance Education, or D.A.R.E. program, in the elementary schools. In FY 24 -25, the City Council and the CVUSD agreed to add a fourth SRO to ser ve the Junior High campuses and a dedicated sergeant to supervise the SRO program.

The SROs provide the schools with a law enforcement presence on campus and function as a critical link between students, parents, educators, and police. The SROs’ presence at the City’s high school campuses enhances the Police Department’s efficiency by reducing the incidence of crime and decreasing the need to dispatch other patrol first responders to the campuses.

The SRO program is managed and supervised by the Criminal Investigations Bureau.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Amendment No. 1 to renew the agreement is effective for the FY 2025-26 school year, from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize continuing this agreement with the Chino Valley Unified School District.

This agreement was approved by the CVUSD Board of Directors at their July 17, 2025, meeting.

TITLE: CONSTRUCTION CREDIT/REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH LS COLLEGE

PARK, LLC FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLLEGE PARK DEVELOPMENT.

PAGE: 3

BACKGROUND
In 2004, the City approved the multi -phase College Park development, a master -planned community encompassing residential neighborhoods, public parks, school sites, and a mixed - use commercial component , all consistent with the land use designations and development standards set forth in the adopted College Park Specific Plan.

As part of the final phase of the College Park project, the developer, LS College Park, LLC was conditioned by the City to construct several off -site public improvements including the installation of ma ster-planned storm drain facilities, potable and recycled water mains , construction of Mountain View Well No. 19 and its associated reservoir to enhance the City’s water production and storage capacity.

The public improvements constructed by the developer are identified as master -planned facilities within the City’s adopted Development Impact Fee (DIF) program. Pursuant to the City’s DIF Ordinance, if a developer constructs a public facility listed in the DIF Nexus and Calculation Report as a condition of approval, the developer is eligible to receive reimbursement and/or credit against DIF obligations for that corresponding facility type. Accordingly, execution of a construction credit and reimbursement agreement with the City is warranted.

On November 15, 2022, the City Council formally accepted the public improvements required as part of this project (excluding Mountain View Well and Reservoir, which were accepted on August 13, 2018 ). This action coincided with the Council’s approval of global settlement agreements resulting from coordinated negotiations between the City Attorney’s Office, City staff, and multiple developers, including LS College Park, LLC. The settlements resolved long - standing disputes related to compliance with accessibility standards u nder the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and applicable California accessibility laws for various City -approved developments dating back to the mid -2000s. Presented together, the settlement agreements established a standardized framework for the acce ptance of public improvements, release of securities, and closeout of development tracts in accordance with assigned resolution categories.

The tracts within College Park are classified as Category A under the settlement framework, which applies to develop ments with improvement plans approved on or before December 31, 2016. These projects require no additional corrective work beyond administrative closeout . The City Council’s acceptance of the public improvements on November 15, 2022, authorized the release of posted securities upon receipt of all required documentation, initiated the applicable warranty period, and transferred long-term maintenance responsibilities to the City.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Following final acceptance of the public improvements, the developer submitted a complete cost package to the City, including approved as -built plans, specifications, and supporting documentation for the off -site public improvements as aforementioned . City staff conducted a comprehensive review and verified the act ual construction costs for eligible master -planned facilities against the cost thresholds established in the City’s DIF Nexus and Calculation Report.

The reconciliation of DIF credits and reimbursements is summarized in Exhibit B of the attached Construction Credit and Reimbursement Agreement.

A summary of the public improvements is as follows:
98 CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 2, 2025
TITLE: CONSTRUCTION CREDIT/REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH LS COLLEGE

PARK, LLC FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLLEGE PARK DEVELOPMENT.

PAGE: 4

Project DIF Eligible Costs DIF Credits Reimbursement
48” Storm Drain $2,691,571 ($2,147,970) $543,602
Potable Water Mains $1,825,097 ($1,415,403) $0.00¹
Recycled Water Mains $1,056,072 $0.00 $1,056,072
Mt. View Well / Reservoir $3,250,000 $0.00 $3,250,000
Total $8,822,740 ($3,973,067) $4,849,674
¹ No DIF reimbursement due to the developer for potable water mains; the cost delta was offset through Community Facilities District 2005-1.

The City has sufficient funds available to fully reimburse the developer for the 48” storm drain improvements in the amount of $543,602.

However, the Citywide Water DIF Fund (Fund 2 53) is currently in a deficit due to prior -year expenditures incorrectly charged to the Eastside Water Treatment Facility (EWTF) Phase 3 Project - WA19C. Under the adopted DIF Nexus Study, only Phases 1 and 2 of the EWTF are eligible for DIF funding. Phase 3 was excluded due to both local funding constraints and prohibitions tied to external state and federal grants and loans.

To correct this issue, prior-year expenditures related to EWTF Phase 3 that were inappropriately charged to the Citywide Water DIF Fu nd (Fund 253) and the Preserve Water DIF Fund (Fund 261) must be reallocated. Staff recommend that the Water Fund (Fund 520) reimburse each impacted DIF fund to rectify the misallocation. This correction will restore a positive balance to the affected DIF fund and enable the City to issue a partial payment to the developer in the amount of $200,000 for completed, DIF-eligible water infrastructure improvements.

Staff presented the College Park Credit and Reimbursement Agreement to the Infrastructure/Streets Committee on June 24, 2025. The Committee expressed support for staff’s recommendation regarding the agreement and the proposed reimbursement to the developer. Additionally, earlier this year, staff informed both the Infrastructure /Streets Committee and t he City Council that fund corrections related to Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) would be addressed as part of an ongoing financial cleanup effort. These anticipated corrections were discussed during the annual budget process and are now being implemen ted.

Specifically, the EWTF fund correction was initially brought forward as part of staff’s reconciliation of the Pine Avenue Connector project, reflecting broader efforts to properly allocate prior-year’s expenditures.

Therefore, it is s taff’s recommendation to the City Council to authorize the proposed fund corrections and appropriations necessary to implement the Construction Credit/Reimbursement Agreement with LS College Park, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $4,849,674.

TITLE: ASSUMPTION AND PARTIAL ASSIGNMENT OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BY

AND AMONG THE CITY OF CHINO, CHINO DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, AND BLOCK 11 BUILDERS (TRACT MAP NO. 16420-6).

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
In 2004, the City of Chino entered into a Development Agreement (DA) with three entities affiliated with the Lewis Management Corporation known as Chino Development Corporation, Chino Preserve Development Corporation, and Chino Holding Company, LLC (collectiv ely referred to as the Lewis Companies). The DA was established to guide the orderly development of The Preserve, a master-planned residential and commercial community. It outlined the terms and conditions applicable to development on property owned by Lew is Companies and defined the respective rights and obligations of the developer and the City throughout the development process.

In 2008, the City’s Planning Commission approved an “A” level Master Site Approval and Tentative Tract Map No. 16420 to subdivi de 522 acres of land generally located south of Pine Avenue, west of Hellman Avenue, and north and east of Chino Corona Road for what is known as the South of Pine area in The Preserve. The purpose of the original Master Site Approval was to establish larg e parcels, and phase major backbone street systems for both future residential and non-residential development within the master plan area.

On February 23, 2022, the City’s Planning Commission conditionally approved a Development Modification to the Master Site Approval and Tentative Tract Map No. 16420. The modification removed the phased development concept originally approved, divided the larger land area into smaller lots to be reconveyed for development, and established improvement areas for future development. It is important to note that the Developer modification also incorporated conditions of approval for improvements along Pine Avenue for associated developments within the larger project area to help facilitate needed improvements to the area.

Subsequently, on September 19, 2022, the City’s Planning Commission approved a 32.63 -acre Master Site Approval PL21-0056 and Tentative Tract Map No. 20445 for the future development of 305 single -family homes within four neighborhoods, a pocket park, and priv ate recreation center located in the MDR (Medium Density Residential) and CC16 (Community Core 16) land use designations known as “Block 11”. This project is generally located south of Legacy Park Street, east of Main Street, and north of East Preserve Loop.

On June 6, 2023, the City Council approved an Amended and Restated DA to incorporate updated terms and conditions that support responsible long -range planning and fiscal stability through the build-out of the Preserve Specific Plan area.

The developer, Chino Preserve Development Corporation, a Lewis Management Corporation company (“Lewis”), received City approval of Final Map No. 16420 -6 on April 1, 2025, to subdivide a portion of the previously approved Tentative Tract Map No. 16420, as s hown in Exhibit A. Lewis is actively developing the site and has entered into purchase agreements with four guest builders, with escrow closures occurring this Summer 2025.

The guest builders will assume responsibility for completing the remaining public i mprovements originally assigned to Chino Preserve Development Corporation. This transition requires the execution of replacement Subdivision Improvement Agreements (SIAs) and the posting of new securities, which will be presented to the City Council as a separate action.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the terms of the DA, the Lewis Companies have the right to sell, transfer, or assign property, in whole or in part, provided such transfers do not violate the provisions of the 111

PAGE: 3

Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66410 et seq.) or Title 19 of the Chino Municipal Code.

In accordance with these provisions, the Lewis Companies have approached the City to request approval of Partial Assignment and Assumption Agreements with four guest builders for the acquisition of specific properties, as described in Exhibit A of each respective Agreement and attached collectively as Exhibit B. Because these properties are subject to the existing DA, City Council consent is required to authorize the Partial Assignment an d Assumption Agreements (collectively, the “Assignments”) as outlined in the attached documents.

The Lewis Companies are selling the subject properties pursuant to the terms and conditions of separate Purchase and Sale Agreements with Richmond American Hom es of Maryland, Inc.; Beazer Homes Holdings, LLC; Lennar Homes of California, LLC; and Shea Homes Limited Partnership. Each Assignment requires the City to release Chino Preserve Development Corporation from its obligations under the DA as they pertain to the property being conveyed.

Staff is not aware of any outstanding concerns that would preclude this release and sale of the subject properties. Therefore, staff recommend that the City Council approve the Assignments of the Preserve DA between the City of Chino, CPDC, and each respective guest builder.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 2, 2025
TITLE: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT - GREEN BADGE, LLC DBA UGMO

TECHNOLOGIES FOR WIRELESS DIGITAL SOIL MOISTURE SENSING SYSTEM MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
In 2015, to minimize impact on the City’s water system and support sustainable landscape management, outdated irrigation timers were replaced at various parks with a wireless soil moisture monitoring system. The system utilizes underground sensors to measure the actual moisture content of the soil and t ransmits real-time data to the sprinkler control units, allowing for precise irrigation based on the landscape's needs. The result is significant water conservation, improved landscape health, and reduced irrigation costs.

Since 2015, the system has been installed and maintained in twelve City parks.

1. Bob McLeod 7. Mountain View

2. Centennial Square 8. Oak Tree

3. Cypress Trails 9. Sebring

4. Heritage 10. Shady Grove

5. Liberty 11. Villa

6. Monte Vista 12. Walnut
The technology, known as the Underground Monitoring Wireless Digital Soil Moisture Sensing System (UgMO), was essential in earning the City a water use exemption from the State of California during previous drought restriction measures, allowing continued irrigation with minor restrictions.

In addition to managing the existing network of UgMo systems in parks, Public Works staff conducted a comprehensive evaluation in 2021 to assess the feasibility of expanding the system to additional landscaped areas across the City. The focus of this initiative was to further enhance water conservation efforts and reduce irrigation-related expenditures by leveraging the proven efficiency of the UgMO technology in high usage zones beyond the original twelve parks. Following this ass essment, several new sites, including parkways, medians, and other public landscapes were identified as suitable for integration into the system.

These additional areas were subsequently approved and incorporated into the existing maintenance contract, e nabling a seamless expansion without the need for a separate procurement process. Since the addition, the newly monitored sites have consistently demonstrated a measurable reduction in water consumption, contributing to long term operational cost savings. The expansion has not only supported the City’s sustainability goals but also strengthened its drought resilience by promoting smart irrigation practices in more areas of the urban landscape.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Historically, the City contracted a third-party vendor to oversee the maintenance and monitoring of the UgMO wireless soil moisture monitoring system. While the previous agreement supported the City’s water conservation efforts, Public Works staff have now identified a more cost - effective solutio n by working directly with the technology provider, UgMO Technologies. This direct partnership eliminates the need for a third -party vendor and reduces overall costs, both immediately and in the long term.

The UgMO system currently in place is manufactured by UgMO Technologies, making them the sole proprietor for the system. The system controls the amount of water applied to turf and 152

landscaped areas in City parks and Maintenance Districts, helping to conserve water and reduce resource use. The continue d use of the UgMO system ensures efficient irrigation management, resulting in ongoing water and resource savings for the City. By establishing a Professional Services Agreement directly with UgMO Technologies, the City opts out of replacing the entire sys tem while simultaneously saving costs for the monitoring and maintenance services of the system.

The proposed agreement includes the following cost breakdown:

Wireless Digital Soil Moisture System Monitoring and Maintenance Services Annual Routine Monitoring & Maintenance $159,212
Emergency and Unanticipated Services $ 8,000
Total Amount $167,212

In accordance with Chapter 3.32 of the Chino Municipal Code, the City Council may approve sole source purchases when goods or services are only available from one provider. On July 28, 2025, staff determined Green Badge, LLC dba Ugmo Technologies is the sole source for the Wireless Digital Soil Moisture Sensing System and recommends awarding a Professional Services Agreement in the amount of $167,212.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of San Bernardino, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of San Bernardino, State of California.

7.2 Disputes; Default.

In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

7.3 Retention of Funds.

Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear 169
01225.0001/863604.2 17
to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.4 Waiver.

Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.

Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non -defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.

7.7 Liquidated Damages.

Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of Zero Dollars ($0) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder. The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages.

7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.

This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this 170
01225.0001/863604.2 18
Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days ’ written notice to Contractor, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Contractor, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Project Manager . In addition, the Contractor reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Contractor may determine.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 2, 2025
TITLE: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CALGON

CARBON CORPORATION FOR AS -NEEDED GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON (GAC) REMOVAL AND REACTIVATION SERVICES.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
The City currently uses Calgon Carbon Corporation (Calgon Carbon) to provide Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) removal and reactivation services at the Eastside and Benson Water Treatment Facilities.

GAC is a critical component of the City’s water treatment process, used primarily to remove organic compounds, chlorine, chloramine, taste and odor compounds, and disinfection by - products (DBPs). The City specifically uses GAC to remove 1,2,3 -trichloropropane (TCP) from groundwater to meet regulatory standards.

The City operates 24 carbon filtration vessels, each containing 20,000 pou nds of GAC. Over time, the carbon reaches its absorption capacity, referred to as “breakthrough,” and must be replaced. Replacement can be accomplished by using new "virgin" carbon or by reactivating the spent carbon. The City has elected to pursue reactiv ation as a cost -effective and sustainable approach.

Under this method, Calgon Carbon personnel remove the spent carbon and transport it to their facility, where it undergoes high-temperature thermal reactivation (600–900 °C). The reactivated carbon is th en reused during future GAC exchanges, reducing the City’s reliance on more expensive virgin carbon.

On July 1, 2025, the City entered into a sole source professional services agreement with Calgon Carbon Corporation to provide GAC removal and reactivation services at an annual not- to-exceed amount of $150,000 per year for a five -year term, covering FY 2025 -26 through FY 2029-30.

The City’s water treatment systems utilize Calgon’s proprietary FILTRASORB 400 —a GAC product manufactured exclusively by Calgo n Carbon through a patented reagglomeration process using select bituminous coal. These systems also include proprietary ion -exchange components that require service by Calgon Carbon –certified personnel to maintain equipment integrity and regulatory compli ance. City staff have confirmed that Calgon Carbon is the sole qualified vendor able to meet these technical and operational requirements.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The current agreement with Calgon Carbon specifies rates of $1.37 per pound for reactivated carbon and $2.20 per pound for virgin carbon. The rate aligns with market trends and the continued use of Calgon Carbon’s proprietary materials and services. Calgon Carbon Corporation has provided fixed unit pricing for FY2025-26 from the original agreement executed on July 1, 2025, under the City Manager’s authority, due to an immediate need to exchange the media.

During the most recent operating cycle, staff monitored contaminant concentrations through the GAC vessels and confirmed that carbon usage is expe cted to remain consistent with prior years; however, the original agreement needs to be increased because the original quantities did not align with actual needs . To meet projected needs and account for GAC replacement frequency or material costs, staff re commends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 1 to the professional services agreement with Calgon Carbon Corporation for GAC removal and reactivation services.

In accordance with Chapter 3.32 of the Chino Municipal Code, the City Council may approv e sole source purchases when goods or services are only available from one provider. Staff 185

TITLE: NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR THE KIMBALL AVENUE PRESERVE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (ST232) WITH C.P. CONSTRUCTION CO., INC.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
The Kimball Avenue Preserve Improvements Project (ST232) constructed “Kimball Avenue Street Improvements” and “Kimball Avenue Storm Drain Improvem ents” (Exhibit A) further defined below:

Kimball Avenue Street Improvements : This scope of work included improvements to widen the northern half of Kimball Avenue between Rincon Meadows Avenue and Main Street, as outlined in the Preserve Specific Plan and the City’s Development Impact Nexus and Calculation Report. The roadway was widened to provide two westbound vehicle lanes. Work included the relocation of five Southern California Edison (SCE) transmission poles and other utilities, removal and replacemen t of an existing chain link fence, installation of concrete curbs, establishment of two catch basins for drainage, and pavement improvements. The project was a coordinated effort involving SCE, the San Bernardino County Airport Division, Richland Communities, and various communication agencies.

Kimball Avenue Storm Drain Improvements: This scope of work included partnering with the County of San Bernardino to jointly address drainage issues impacting Kimball Avenue and the Chino Airport. Improvements includ ed the construction of an underground box culvert connecting two existing basins located north and south of Kimball Avenue, between Euclid Avenue and Quality Way. The City served as the lead agency responsible for preliminary engineering design, surveying, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocations, and construction.

On January 19, 2021, the City Council approved Cooperative Agreement Contract No. 2021 - 209 with the County of San Bernardino for the Kimball Storm Drain Improvements, in the amount of $801,600, with an additional $80,160 authorized for construction conting ency, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $881,760.

On July 5, 2023, the City Council awarded Construction Contract No. 2024 -072 to C.P.

Construction Co., Inc. for the Kimball Avenue Preserve Improvements (ST232) in the amount of $2,959,540. As the constr uction bid exceeded the original estimate with the County by more than 10% for the Kimball Avenue Storm Drain Improvements, the City executed an amendment to the Cooperative Agreement, to reflect the revised amount. This amended agreement was also approved by City Council on July 5, 2023. The Council additionally authorized up to $395,259 for project contingencies.

To increase the efficiency of the new box culvert system, additional drainage improvements were requested by City staff through Contract Change Order (CCO) No. 1 in the amount of $31,200. Staff executed CCO No. 1 which included adding an 18 -inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) across Kimball Avenue adjacent to the newly established box culvert to facilitate overflow during heavy rain events or in the event of blockage to the system.

On November 5, 2024, the City Council approved CCO No. 2 with C.P. Construction Co. in the amount of $681,758.45. The City directed the contractor to expand pavement rehabilitation along both sides of Kimball Avenue, ea st of Main Street to Hellman Avenue. The additional scope included a 2-inch grind and overlay, new striping, re -establishment of traffic signal loops, and adjustments to water valves and utility manholes. This work excluded recently improved sections of Kimball Avenue between Flight Avenue and Hellman Avenue, completed as part of a nearby development project.

On July 17, 2025, City staff -initiated CCO No. 3 to reconcile final construction quantities, resulting in a net reduction of $184,711.08. The revised total contract amount is $3,487,787.37. 190

TITLE: COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
The Chino General Plan is the City's blueprint for the future, built on a shared vision that describes the kind of community Chino residents and businesses want and identifies actions to take to realize the vision. In late 2022, the City embarked on a comp rehensive update to the Chino General Plan and Zoning Code that will guide decision -making on development and conservation through 2045. The effort involves the following distinct phases of work:
 Phase 1: Visioning, Issues and Opportunities Identification – Key objectives of this phase were to (a) establish a community-wide vision and shared principles to guide the project, and (b) conduct analysis and document existing conditions, opportunities, and constraints in Chino to lay the foundation for alternatives exploration.  Phase 2: Alternatives Exploration – Based on the outcomes of Phase 1, this Phase involved preparation and evaluation of distinct alternatives for land use and transportation changes in key locations that respond to the existing conditions, opportunities, and constraints. The alternatives were represented conceptually with illustrations, video animations, and examples to facilitate understanding. Outreach was conducted to build consensus around which alternatives to move forward with and incorporate into the General Plan. A joint study session of the City Council and Planning Commission was held at the culmination of this Phase to confirm direction.  Phase 3: Draft Plan, Zoning and EIR Preparation – This Phase focused on updating the General Plan to reflect Council direction and address emerging trends and new State law with guidance from the General Plan Advisory Group (GPAC). It also involved preparation of a legally defensible EIR to identify and mitigate the environmental impacts.
 Phase 4: Adoption and Finalization – Phase 4, now underway, began with the release of the Draft General Plan and EIR for public review on June 20, 2025. This Phase also includes hearings for adoption of the General Plan. The Draft Zoning Code Update document will be released in the fall, with adoption anticipated in early 2026.

Community engagement has been a cornerstone of the 2045 General Plan Update process.

During Phase 1 community outreach activities, 1,060 Chino community members shared input on their priorities and preferences, which help ed to create a set of Guiding Principles for the General Plan Update ; describing the type of community residents and businesses would like Chino to be in 2045. At the outset of Phase 2, a set of alternatives was develo ped to illustrate options for achieving the vision encapsulated in the Guiding Principles. The alternatives focused on key areas of the City where change is foreseeable, presenting potential land use, transportation, and design changes that respond to the existing conditions, opportunities, and constraints. Outside of these areas, the General Plan will continue to maintain and preserve the City’s existing urban form. The alternatives were refined with input from the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) an d then presented to the community at a series of outreach events, including two public open house meetings attended by more than 250 community members, presentations to various groups and organizations, a statistical survey of a representative sample of Ch ino 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 (Preferred Plan) was prepared to present the ideas and concepts that emerged from the outreach process and that were reviewed with the City Council and Planning Commission. The Preferred Plan has guided Phase 3 for preparation of the Public Review Draft 2045 General Plan. Phase 4 has been underway since 195

June 2025 with completion of the Zoning Code Update related to adoption of the 2045 General Plan expected to occur in early 2026.

On August 20, 2025 , the Planning Commission , including the two Ex -Officio Members representing the Sphere of influence (SOI) area, reviewed the 2045 General Plan update . The project was well received, with the Commission commenting on how they appreciated the amount of public outreach, the frequency of engagement with Commission and City Council throughout the project, and the overall work that staff has put into the project. Following the presentation and discussion the Planning Commission by a vote of 9 -0, recommended the City Council certify the City of Chino 2045 General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report (EIR), adopt the 2045 General Plan and adopt the zone changes outlined in Ordinance No. 2025-006.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The Chino 2045 General Plan is a comprehensive update of the City’s current 2025 General Plan that has been undertaken to address emerging issues and new State laws since the General Plan was adopted in 2010. Key objectives for the project include: preserv ing and enhancing local heritage and "small town" character; growing the local economy in ways that improve quality of life for local residents; modernizing the transportation system and improving options for getting around; and establishing a framework for a healthy, sustainable, and resilient community.

This Project includes the following applications;
 PL23-0128 (General Plan Amendment) – A comprehensive update to the City's 2025 General Plan proposed to address multi -modal mobility, environmental justice , climate vulnerability, emergency evacuation, among other topics required by State law. The proposed 2045 General Plan Update seeks to focus on new development in key opportunity areas with vacant and underutilized land where change is foreseeable, while maintaining the existing urban form and enhancing the character and quality of life in Chino’s established neighborhoods.
 PL23-0129 (Zone Change) – Introduction of Ordinance No. 2025 -006, a proposed amendment to Title 20 (Zoning), Chapter 20.03 (Zoning Districts and Zoning Map) of the Chino Municipal Code to incorporate targeted zoning map amendments proposed to better align zoning with as built uses and market potential for the respective sites. All the map amendments involve a change from one existing zoning district to another and all amendments are consistent with the requirements of Measure M, the City's residential growth control measure.

Organization of the 2045 General Pan
The organization of the General Plan has been slightly modified from the 2025 General Plan document to reflect Chino's current and future priorities for the coming years. The 2045 General Plan contains the following chapters and elements:

1. Introduction Chapter. This chapter outlines the purpose and uses of the General Plan; provides a community profile; recaps the update process; presents a shared community Vision and Guiding Principles for Chino’s future; and provides an overview of the General Plan organization, r elationship to other plans, and requirements for administration.

2. Land Use and Community Character Element . This element satisfies the legal requirements for land use, describes the existing land use pattern and provides an 196
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 2, 2025
TITLE: COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE.

PAGE: 4

explanation of the General Plan’s approach to citywide growth, with a map showing the desired distribution and location of land uses. It also describes the existing land use pattern, outlines a strategy for growth management and annexations, and includes land use designations with standar ds for density and intensity. Additionally, this element addresses community character and historic preservation, optional topics that are important priorities for the community. Policies in this element focus on revitalizing older shopping centers, foster ing a vibrant downtown, supporting thriving neighborhoods, promoting ties to the past, and enhancing sense of place.

3. Economic Development Element . This optional element addresses a topic of local importance for Chino. It provides an overview of the population and employment context, and outlines goals and policies to support a strong, stable economy, including actions addressing positive city image; business attraction and retention; inclusive economic development; workforce development; and fiscal responsibility.

4. Infrastructure Element. This element addresses transportation and utility infrastructure in Chino, addressing the statutory requirements for circulation. It incorporates a circulation diagram that identifies major thoroughfares and transportation r outes for vehicles, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians, and it includes policies for “complete streets,” roadway safety, and the efficient movement of goods. This element also identifies the location and extent of public utilities, including water, sewer, stormwater, and electricity infrastructure in Chino.

5. Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Element . This elem 00ent satisfies legal requirements for addressing the topics of open space for outdoor recreation. This element also provides background inform ation, and a policy framework related to parks and recreation; schools; community facilities and libraries; and police and fire services.

6. Hazards, Safety, and Noise Element. This element addresses risks associated with natural and humanmade hazards in Chin o, including flooding, seismic events, dam inundation, wildfires, and noise. It also addresses compounded risk associated with climate change, incorporating strategies to build community resilience. It satisfies the statutory requirements for safety and noise, including requirements for an assessment of emergency evacuation capacity and climate vulnerability.

7. Health and Environmental Quality Element . This element addresses community health - a long -standing priority in Chino - together with new requirements for environmental justice identified under Senate Bill (SB) 1000 and SB535. It identifies “disadvantaged communities” in Chino and incorporates policies that address air quality and pollution exposure; physical activity; access to healthcare; healthy food access; and civic engagement and investment prioritization. It also addresses statutory requirements for conservation, with background information and policies addressing resource conservation, environmental resource protection, energy and water conserva tion, and reuse and recycling.

8. Implementation Chapter. This chapter describes the process for the 2045 General Plan implementation, maintenance, and monitoring. It includes a table identifying near -term, mid-term, and long -term actions needed to implement the 2045 General Plan concepts and strategies. For each action, the responsible City departments and the timeframe for implementation are shown. Potential funding sources are also identified.

The 2045 General Plan’s 2021-2029 Housing Element is published under separate cover, given the length of that document, the level of detailed information required for compliance with State 197

TITLE: COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE.

PAGE: 5

law, and the need to update the Housing Element every eight years, which is a shorter time frame than the rest of the General Plan. The current 2021-2029 Housing Element was adopted by the City and certified by the Californian Department of Housing and Development (HCD) in December 2024.
2045 General Plan Goals, Policies and Actions
Chapters 2 through 7 of the General Plan incorporate the required elements required by State law, as well as other topics of importance to Chino. Each of these elements is organized around a series of goals that describe the high -level outcomes that the community seeks to create through the implementation o f the General Plan. Each goal in turn is supported by a series of policies and implementation actions that describe the steps the City will take to achieve each goal. Policies represent steps the City will take on an ongoing basis, as it considers approval of proposed projects and makes decisions on the investment of public funds. Actions are more specific measures intended to implement one or more policies to help reach a specified goal.

Typically, an action is a discrete item done once and completed, and taken together, the actions in the General Plan constitute a “to‐do list” for the City.

The goals of the 2045 General Plan have been comprehensively updated to reflect the Guiding Principles developed with extensive community input in Phase 1. Content of p olicies and implementation actions from the 2025 General Plan has been carried forward to the extent it remains relevant, and the overall policy framework has been refreshed and updated to ensure it reflects the opportunities and challenges Chino will need to address over the next 20 years. 2045 General Plan and Zoning Map discussion
As previously mentioned, the 2045 General Plan is made up of several required and optional elements. The elements and related information are explained in detail in the attached 2045 General Plan document (Attachment A.1). The content of this plan has been reviewed by both the Planning Commission and the City Council at various study sessions, as well as by staff from all departments prior to public release. Detailed below are topics for further discussion to provide clarification on certain key aspects of the project. These include land use and transportation additions and changes, related zoning map amendments, and the repeal of certain specific plans.

Land Use and Transportation
The General Plan Land Use Diagram ( see Maps LCC -4a and LCC -4b of Attachment A.1, and proposed General Plan Map Attachment A.2), is a foundational component of the General Plan that illustrates the long -term vision for development and conservation in the planning area with land use designations that describe the character envisioned for each neighborhood and district.

Each designation includes standards for density or intensity of use. The 2045 General Plan Land Use Diagram incorporates four new designations reviewed with the City Council and Planning Commission at the end of Phase 2: Downtown; Regional Mixed Use; Boulevard Mixed Use; and Employment Mixed Use. Outside of the locations where these new designations apply, the 2045 General Plan generally maintains the existing urban form from the 2025 General Plan and seeks to enhance the character and quality of life in Chino's established neighborhoods and districts. The Land Use Element also supports continued implementation of The Preserve Specific Plan in addition to the completion of the College Park and East Chino Sp ecific Plans.

However, as shown on Attachment A.2: General Plan Land Use Map, some targeted adjustments to General Plan land use are proposed to better align zoning with existing uses, surrounding context, and market potential for the respective sites. 198

Closely correlated with the General Plan Land Use Diagram, the Circulation Diagram (see Map INF-1 of Attachment A.1 : Circulation Diagram) depicts the roadway network with lane configurations planned to accommodate traffic circulation under the 2045 General Pl an. Typical roadway cross sections for each street type shown on the Circulation Diagram are also included. Two new street types are proposed: Downtown streets that emphasize walkability and roadway safety and rural residential roadways for residential str eets in the Sphere of Influence (SOI), that are currently in the unincorporated portions of San Bernardino County. This rural roadway classification will be utilized for the potential development and improvement of streets following annexation into the City. The purpose for the rural roadway classification is to allow for greater consistency with the residential streets as they are currently developed. While the 2025 General Plan Circulation Diagram envisioned the widening of the roadway segments shown on Table 1, technical modeling completed for the 2045 General Plan determined that this is not needed to adequately accommodate future traffic volumes. The future configuration of these roadway segments on the 2045 Circulation Diagram reflects this modeling, and as a result proposed developments along these roadway segments will not need to dedicate additional right-of-way as they are approved.

Additionally, the Truck Route Map (see Map INF-4 of Attachment A.1: Designated Truck Routes Map), has been revised to remove certain segments from this map located in the Preserve Specific Plan area. This includes Kimball Avenue east of Euclid Avenue, Bickmore Avenue east of Euclid Avenue, Flight Avenue south of Remington Avenue and Quality Way between Kimball Avenue and Bickmore Avenue.

Related Zoning Map Amendments
In parallel with adoption of the 20 45 General Plan, staff is proposing adoption of several related zoning map amendments, shown in Attachment A.4. These amendments are proposed to better align zoning with existing built uses and market potential for the respective sites. All the map amendments involve a change from one existing zoning district to another, and all amendments are consistent with the requirements of Measure M, the City's existing residential growth control measure. Additionally, some of the zoning map amendments reflect changes to zoning necessary to the repeal of various specific plans further outlined below, and the removal of the 199

Office Commercial General Plan land use designation and zoning designation, due to its limited use throughout the City. These properties will have a General Plan and ultimately zoning designation of either neighborhood commercial or general commercial to better align with the current and future operation of the sites. For example, the auto mall land use designation in the Eucalyptus Business Park Spec ific Plan that has an Office Commercial General Plan designation is being replaced with both a General Commercial General Plan land use and Commercial General Zoning designation. This would allow for more flexibility of development in that area and continually allow for the operation and development of auto dealerships. The Draft City Council Ordinance 2025-006 is attached to this report (Attachment D).

Repeal of Specific Plans
The City has six specific plans, adopted between 1982 and 2004 to guide land use and development in certain areas of the City. The 2025 General Plan includes an action item to phase out various specific plans that have not previously been completed. While the specific plans were helpful in guiding initial development of the areas cove red, in some areas there is little vacant land remaining and the original vision has largely been realized. Therefore, with the 2045 General Plan Update it makes sense to retire these older specific plans that have served their useful purpose: the Eucalypt us Business Park Specific Plan, the Majestic Spectrum Specific Plan, and the Central Avenue Specific Plan. Where there is an existing development agreement in place related to The Preserve Specific Plan, or where there are remaining development opportunities, such as within the College Park Specific Plan, the specific plans will remain in place. The East Chino Specific Plan will also remain in place.

In the case of the Central Avenue and Majestic Spectrum Specific Plans, the 2045 General Plan will apply new land use designations and policy direction reflecting community aspirations for those areas, and in the Eucalyptus Business Park Specific Plan new "good neighbor" policies and standards will be incorporated into the General Plan and Zoning Code to guide redevelopment of underutilized properties. Where the affordable housing overlay (AHO) and mixed use overlay (MUO) apply within these specific plan areas, those zoning designations would remain and the related design and development standards that apply to h ousing development on these sites also would be carried forward in the comprehensive Zoning Code Update, a public draft of which will be released in early 2026. The land use regulations and design and development standards needed to guide infill and redeve lopment in older specific plan areas will be addressed by citywide or district -specific requirements, through overlays and by the new mixed use zoning districts proposed as part of Phase 4 of the General Plan Update.

PUBLIC NOTICE
A notice of the proposed project was published in the Chino Champion on August 23, 2025, and the City sent information out on the City’s social media platforms. Additionally, a 10-day notice was mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the sites with proposed zoning map changes. The notice meets the legal noticing requirements and is adequate in scope for this project. There were six comment letters received regardi ng the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) , and the response to these comments were addressed (Attachment B.4 to Resolution No. 2025-055), as outlined below . As of the d ate of this report, there have been no other comment letters received.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
A Program EIR for the City of Chino 2045 General Plan Update (SCH#2024090833) was prepared by RECON Environmental, Inc, pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15120 to 15132. A Notice of Preparation 200
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 2, 2025
TITLE: COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE.

PAGE: 8

(NOP) for the EIR was publicized and circulated to State and local agencies between September 23, 2024, through October 24, 2024. A Scoping Meeting was also held on October 17, 2024, to receive public comments on the scope and cont ent of the 2045 General Plan EIR. Based on the input received, a detailed environmental analysis was conducted, and the Draft 2045 General Plan EIR was released for a 45 -day public review and comment period from June 20, 2025, through August 4, 2025. Six comment letters, containing approximately 35 unique comments, were received. The comment letters and responses to the comments are included with the Final 2045 General Plan EIR ( Attachment A.3) and (Attachment B.4 to Resolution No. 2025-055).

Section 15126.2(a)(c) of CEQA requires an EIR to identify and focus on the significant environmental effects of the proposed General Plan update, including effects that cannot be avoided if the General Plan update is implemented. Based on the analysis contained in the Draft 2045 General Plan EIR, the City has determined that the proposed 2045 General Plan update would result in significant and unavoidable impacts associated with air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, historic resources, noise, and transport ation and that a Statement of Overriding Considerations (Attachment B.2 Resolution No. 2025 -055) for these impacts is appropriate. In addition, based on the environmental analysis contained in the Draft EIR , the City has determined that the proposed Genera l Plan update could result in significant direct and/or cumulative impacts that could be mitigated to less than significant levels with respect to the following issues: biological resources; cultural and tribal cultural resources; geology, soils, and seismicity; and noise. Mitigation Measures to address these impacts were incorporated into the Draft 2045 General Plan EIR and the MMRP is attached ( Attachment B.5 to Resolution No. 2025-055). An Errata has also been attached (attachment B.3 to Resolution No. 2025-055) that outlines all of the changes made to the Final PEIR in response to comments received on the Draft EIR.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-055

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHINO

CERTIFYING THE EIR, ADOPT ING THE MMRP , AND ADOPTING THE

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS OF FACT AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE CITY OF CHINO 2045 GENERAL PLAN
UPDATE (SCH NO. 2024090833).

WHEREAS, in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) in 2024, the City of Chino initiated the preparation of a Draft Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the City of Chino 2045 General Plan Update dated June 2025 by RECON Environmental, Inc, for approval of PL23-0128 (General Plan Amendment) and PL23 -1029 (Zon e Change ) (the “Project”) to disclose potential effects of the Project, measures to mitigate those effects, and an analysis of alternatives to the Project; and
WHEREAS, on September 23, 2024, the City published a Notice of Preparation (NOP) with the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) (State Clearinghouse #2024090833) and the City solicited input on the scope and content of the EIR in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15082. The NOP was circulated for 30 days from September 23, 2024, through October 24, 2024, to public agencies and other interested parties to solicit comments and inform the public of the proposed Project; and
WHEREAS, a scoping meeting was held on October 17, 2024, in which the public was invited to review the NOP, 12 comments were received at a scoping meetin g and issues were discussed; and
WHEREAS, consistent with Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines, a Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) was prepared that provides a programmatic analysis of the environmental impacts associated with implementation of the goals, policies, and actions and the projected buildout of the 2045 General Plan Update (Proposed Plan). The Draft EIR evaluates potentially significant environmental impacts associated with the adoption and implementation of the Proposed Plan. The Program EIR examines the potential effects resulting from implementing designated land uses and policies in the Proposed Plan. The impact assessment evaluates the Proposed Plan as a whole and identifies the broad, regional effects that may occur with its implementation. As a programmatic document, this EIR does not assess project-specific impacts that may result from developments pursuant to the Proposed Plan. To the extent that any future development project made possible by the Proposed Plan may have individual, site -specific impacts not addressed in this program EIR, such projects would be subject to separate, project- level environmental review, as required by State law; and WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15126.2(a)(c) requires an Environmenta l Impact Report to identify and focus on any significant environmental effects of the proposed General Plan update, including effects that cannot be avoided if the Proposed Plan is implemented; and
WHEREAS, based on the analysis contained in the Draft EIR, the City has determined that the Proposed Plan update would result in the significant and unavoidable impacts associated with air quality, noise, greenhouse gas emissions, historic resources, and transportation; and WHEREAS, based on the analysis containe d in the Draft EIR, the City has determined that the Proposed Plan update could result in significant direct and/or cumulative impacts that 206
