HC-1.1 A1 Develop programs to foster collaboration between local health officials and City staff and elected officials.
The Healthy Chino Coalition program, in place since 2004, continues to meet quarterly with over 20 active Coalition members including local health officials, physicians, nurses, educators, business owners, and City staff. The City actively participates in the quarterly IEHP Community Partner Network Meetings and San Antonio Regional Hospital Health Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (HEDI). Healthy Chino continues to participate at the monthly Focus on Youth collaborative meetings. These meetings foster new partnerships and create opportunities to expand new and existing programming. Healthy Chino staff attends the City of Chino quarterly Safety Committee Meetings. The Healthy Chino Program continues to offer employee wellness challenges and healthy snack options. This is done by collaborating with different agencies and companies to help promote healthy living. Partnerships include Kaiser Permanente, San Bernardino Health Department, IEHP, Chino Valley Medical Center, San Antonio Regional Hospital, Juice It Up, San Bernardino County Master Gardeners, and SoCal Healthy Vending. The SoCal Healthy Vending company is a local Chino business.
HC-1.1 A2 Develop a list of best practices related to promoting healthy communities. Ideas on best practices are gained through the on-going attendance by Healthy Chino staff at the various health and wellness collaborative meetings and conferences. Programs that are currently in place that promote healthy practices are the Hike the Valley Program, established in 2013, where participants are guided through local trails (hikes average 2-5 miles in length and range from easy to advance levels). At the Chino Community Garden participants plant fruits/vegetables and learn gardening, nutrition, and sustainability through the garden's educational workshops. Educational programs include demonstration gardens, cooking classes, and children’s story time programs. The Community Garden will continue to offer its popular garden workshops, Children's Discovery workshops, and composting program. Bark Around Ayala Park continues to bring in over 400 participants, their dogs, and 30 local vendors for a fun and active morning. Healthy Chino contributes to and promotes the Chino Valley YMCA 5K Reindeer Romp, Run for Russ 5K, and the Chino Youth Museum 5K DairyAire each year. The City and Chino Valley YMCA partner on Healthy Family Day and hosted a fun, free annual community event on March 15, 2025 at the Neighborhood Activity Center with over 750 participants who got to enjoy fitness demonstrations, kids' activities, inflatable obstacle course and activities, smoothie bike, healthy food, health/nutrition/fitness vendors, and water/environmental vendors. Healthy Chino partnered with the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) and the Public Works Department to host two Earth Day events on April 16 and 17, 2025, at the Chino Creek Wetlands & Educational Park. Over 3,500 people attended the event over the two days. The Healthy Chino program collaborates with the Chino Police Department to host the annual Bike Day event each year. This event hosts a 13-mile community bike ride and a 5-mile family bike ride. The Police Department hands out free bike helmets as well as conduct a safety obstacle course. Healthy Chino recruits a local bike shop, Bike Fix, as an event sponsor, and Bike Fix hosts a booth at the event offering free bike repairs to event attendees. The 20 year anniversary continued through September 2025, featuring enhanced events and Employee Wellness challenges, mobile stops where the public can recieve free health information from health-based partners, and a cookbook collaboration between the Chino Valley Unified School District, Healthy Chino, and the SOAR program.
HC-1.1 A3 Track community health information systematically and in ways appropriate for use in decisions about the built environment.
In partnernership with San Antonio Regional Hospital to receive data on the rates of nutrition-based illnesses in the City of Chino. Healthy Chino also partnered with Inland Empire Health Plan, where IEHP hosted several workshops in English and Spanish in the downtown area to bring awareness to the community on topics included Heart Health, Controlling Diabetes, Healthy Eating, and Mental Health.

HC-1.2 A1 Develop a program to disseminate information about healthful eating habits. There are a number of methods that are used in the Healthy Chino Program to distribute information about healthy eating habits. These include: Healthy Family Day, with over 750 participants and 40 vendors; Grilling classes offered to the community to help promote healthy eating habits; and partnering with CVUSD in recognizing National Nutrition Month. Healthy Chino also disseminates monthly emails on health tips to over 800 community members, City employees, Health Council members, and Focus on Youth members. Healthy Chino continues to promote healthy snack and breakfast options in all City after school programs. Healthy Chino offers the Healthy Kids Challenge at the High Five, SOAR Afterschool programs, as well as seasonal camps. This incorporates healthy eating and fitness weekly challenges for six weeks. The Healthy Chino Program has also begun to use social media to distribute healthy tips and program announcements.
HC-1.2 A2 Model best practices related to promoting healthy eating habits at government offices and government-organized events by serving only healthy snacks and refreshments.
The City hosts programs for employees to promote healthy eating habits including Healthy and Wellness Workshops and the Stairwell Art Program. The 6-week weight loss/fitness program, "Healthier You Challenge" continues to be offered once a year (winter) to the employees to help start off the year encouraging health and wellness. Healthy Chino also encourages employees to offer healthy snacks and refreshments during meetings and trainings. Healthy Chino offers healthy snacks and water to participants at all of its programs including Children's Discovery Workshops, Hike the Valley, and bike events to name a few. There are eight new Healthy Vending Machines available to employees and residents. Employees were surveyed on healthy options they wanted to see in the vending machines. At the conclusion of the survey, the healthy vending company adopted most options by adding them into the machines.
HC-1.2 A3 Promote government and school purchase of locally-produced and/or organic food. The Healthy Chino program provides nutrition lessons to the afterschool programs promoting local organic produce from the Chino Community Garden.
HC-1.2 A4 Work with vendors at the farmer’s market to develop programs under which vendors can accept food stamps and other public benefits.
The City does not currently have a City-sponsored farmers market. No work has begun on identifying or prioritizing starting a farmers market or agriculture drop-off sites (CSA Farm Share). Previously, the City offered a farmers market at City Hall and then at The Preserve Community Center but was deemed unsustainable due to low sales.
Goal LU-1 Enhance the livability of Chino neighborhoods.
LU-1.1 A2 Conduct a review of existing City policies to identify barriers to the development of accessory dwelling units, co-housing, and other non-traditional housing types. Where necessary, modify policies to support development of these housing types.
The City has developed three pre-approved ADU plans of various sizes that meet the current building code requirements. Ongoing efforts focus on educating employees and reviewing City procedures to promote the development of ADUs. Additionally, staff continues to research funding sources.
LU-3.1 A1 Study the use of graduated-density zoning, which encourages parcel assembly by allowing higher densities for larger sites, or other policy-based mechanisms to encourage the development of projects on more than one parcel that are consistent with the Future Growth Vision Plan.
The concept of graduated-density zoning was studied during the 2010 General Plan Update. At that time, it was determined that it would not be incorporated into specific General Plan policies or Zoning Ordinance provisions, and would be evaluated again in future updates.
LU-3.1 A2 Work with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) when it prepares its Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) to ensure that sites from the Future Growth Vision Plan are included in the SCS.
The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) was approved by SCAG in 2020. The RTP/SCS did not include the future growth areas because the land uses for these sites have not changed.
LU-3.1 A3 Consider revising the Future Growth Vision Plan if SCAG’s ultimate SCS map is not consistent with it.
The Housing Element update was completed on January 4, 2022, adopted by the City Council and certified by HCD in December 2024, which covers the 2021-2029 reporting period, to be in compliance with SCAG’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation. Many areas within the Future Growth Vision Plan have been identified as potential sites to meet the RHNA allocation. These sites would allow for higher densities up to 30 dwelling units to the acre or have the potential for mixed-use development.
LU-3.2 A1 Provide expedited review of projects on the four corners of Walnut and Central Avenues that meet both the land use regulations and the design guidance provided for these properties and for mixed-use properties in general.
There has not been any development activity at this intersection during this reporting period.

LU-3.3 A1 Work with landowners along Riverside Drive to consolidate parcels so they can create large enough spaces for new development of either mixed-use or multi-family residential buildings. On some portions of Riverside Drive where the parcels are very shallow due to dedications for the street right-of-way, this will need to include consolidation with parcels that do not currently front upon Riverside Drive. In this case, the landowners will need to enter into an agreement to share profits according to the original size of each parcel before right-of-way has been dedicated.
There has not been any development activity in this area during this reporting period. In the future, if interest in development of properties in this area is received, the City will explore opportunities to coordinate with other landowners along Riverside Drive to encourage consolidation of parcels.
LU-3.4 A1 Existing uses south of the Civic Center are permitted to continue, but are encouraged to upgrade their facilities to provide better pedestrian amenities on sidewalks and open areas.
The City will continue to work with land owners to ensure pedestrian facilities are upgraded with any future development in this area. However, there has not been any mixed use or residential development activity in this area.
LU-3.4 A2 Work with residential, commercial, and industrial landowners to consolidate parcels so they can create large enough spaces for development of live-work lofts on the block bounded by Central Avenue, F, 5th, and G streets.
In the future, if there is interest for development in this area, the City will explore opportunities to coordinate with other landowners to encourage consolidation of parcels.
LU-4.1 A1 Work with San Bernardino County to revise the County’s General Plan to reflect the land use designations shown in the City’s Land Use Map.
Upon adoption of the City's General Plan 2010, City staff transmitted updated land use information to the County. The County has since updated portions of their General Plan to reflect the land use designations shown in the City's Land Use Map. The City will coordinate with the County of any future approved land use changes to keep the map updated.
LU-5.2 A1 Develop a program to provide incentives for projects that support smart growth goals and reduce greenhouse gases, such as mixed-use, infill, and transit-oriented development projects.
On November 17, 2020, the City Council approved an update to the City's Climate Action (CAP) Plan in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 46% lower than the 2008 baseline by the year 2030. A list of mandatory and voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction measures are listed within the CAP that an applicant will be required to implement into their project, thus resulting in a reduction of greenhouse gases. In addition, on January 4, 2022, the City adopted the 2021-2029 Housing Element, that identifies potential housing sites for high densities and mixed-use developments.
Goal LU-6 Develop and implement comprehensive master plans for key sites and areas in Chino.
LU-6.1 A1 The City shall individually phase out the Majestic Spectrum, East Chino, Eucalyptus Business Park, and Central Avenue Specific Plans, as well as the Downtown Civic Center Master Plan, after careful study of the potential effects of the phase out.
In September 2025, the City Council adopted the 2045 Genearl Plan Update, repealing the Majestic Spectrum Specific Plan, Eucalyptus Business Park Specific Plan and Central Avenue Specific Plan.
LU-8.1 A2 Identify and prioritize neighborhoods underserved by healthy food sources for development of healthy food sources.
There are existing programs in place that serve low-income neighborhoods in the City, such as the Summer Lunch Program held in Monte Vista Park offered in July and August for children and youth 18 years or younger.
LU-8.1 A4 Identify appropriate locations for farmers markets and community-supported agriculture drop-off sites and prioritize such uses in these areas.
The City does not currently have a City-sponsored farmers market. No work has begun on identifying or prioritizing starting a farmers market or agriculture drop-off sites (CSA Farm Share). Previously, the City offered a farmers market at City Hall and then at The Preserve Community Center but was deemed unsustainable due to low sales. Healthy Chino staff experimented with a CSA farm share program in 2015 but was also canceled due to declined sales.
Goal CC-1 Establish high standards of community design in Chino.
CC-1.1 A1 Develop detailed design guidelines for new developments. The City has design standards per CMC 20.17 for the overall City. In addition, detailed design standards are provided for the College Park and The Preserve Specific Plans.
Community Character Element
Goal LU-4 Provide a clear transition for properties within the Sphere of Influence (SOI).

CC-2.3 A1 Develop a list of key entryways to Chino and establish a program to provide entry features for each of them. Entryways shall incorporate landscaping, trees, and/or architectural elements to enhance a sense of arrival to the City.
There are currently enhanced entryway landscape and signage treatments along Central Avenue at the Pomona 60 Freeway and in the southerly part of the City. A design has been approved for the 60 Freeway and Central interchange that includes City identifying features such as the City seal. Work began on the interchange in the summer of 2021 and was completed in 2024. The City will continue to consider other entries as deemed appropriate on a yearly basis.
TRA-1.1 A1 Develop and implement a prioritization and phasing program for new and improved roadway facilities based on existing facilities, planned facilities, and funding.
Through a combination of Land Development and Capital Improvement project review, staff reviews roadway facilities as each project is scoped in coordination with the General Plan's Circulation and Infrastructure elements.
TRA-1.2 A1 Conduct a signal timing study for all intersections with Level of Service (LOS) E and F.
Coordinate and implement study recommendations with adjacent jurisdictions as well as California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), if applicable.
Signal timing studies are done on an on-going basis for intersections that are congested, and modifications are made by the City as deemed appropriate and feasible. Coordination is continually coordinated with adjacent jurisdictions, SBCTA and Caltrans if needed. In addition, Mountain Avenue, Edison Avenue, Chino Avenue and Central Avenue have current traffic signal coordination timing and additional corridors are to be included as signal interconnect projects complete communications to them. Staff continues to improve traffic signal interconnect projects through private development, capital improvement and annual maintenance activities.
TRA-1.3 A1 Establish criteria for which developments will be allowed to construct private streets. The Specific Plans for College Park and The Preserve master-planned communities identify where private streets can be utilized, and include design standards for private streets. As new development proposals are reviewed in these Specific Plan areas, the benefits and/or impacts of designating proposed streets as private are evaluated. On February 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2019-002, amending Section 19.06.040 of the Chino Municipal Code to clarify that any single-family residential developments having private streets approved before January 1, 2019, where the private streets otherwise meet the criteria of the Subdivision Map Ordinance, shall be deemed valid and duly authorized, but that no further private streets shall be authorized within single-family residential developments thereafter. When development proposals are reviewed for areas outside of these Specific Plan areas where infill development might occur, the street types will be reviewed on a case- by-case basis to determine the benefits and/or impacts of designating them as private.
TRA-1.3 A4 Identify possible funding sources for traffic calming treatments, including grants to investigate the feasibility of establishing a residential assessment district to allow residents to participate in funding construction of traffic calming treatments in their neighborhood.
Opportunities to apply for grant funding for traffic calming improvements or grants for the establishment of a residential assessment district are regularly monitored, and where appropriate, grant applications are applied for. A grant funded Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) was completed in October of 2022 which identified traffic safety improvement projects that would be eligable for future state grant funding.
In December of 2024, the CIty received an initial award of $400,000 for a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) which will expand upon the effort of the LRSP enabling Chino to compete for federal traffic safety grants in the future as well. The CSAP is expected to be completed by December 2027. Chino has received TDA Article III funds to design the Benson Pedestrian Improvement Project at the end of 2025. Staff utilized annual operation & maintenance Measure I funding to implement traffic calming signing & striping projects addressing priority locations.

TRA-3.1 A1 Develop a truck loading policy for new development that ensures new truck-dependent businesses limit their impact on neighborhoods and business districts.
The Chino Zoning Ordinance has existing provisions for industrial businesses that are located adjacent to non-industrial uses that require appropriate buffering techniques, such as increased setbacks, screening and dense landscaping to be provided in order to mitigate any negative effects of industrial operations such as truck loading. In addition, as industrial development applications are reviewed, the locations of loading areas are evaluated to mitigate any potential impacts to adjacent uses.
TRA-6.2 A2 Study individual accident locations, especially “hot spots” with multiple accidents, and identify necessary upgrades to reduce the incidence of accidents.
Accident reports are regularly reviewed on an ongoing basis to develop a list of intersections with a high volume of incidents. "Hot spot" locations and prioritization of locations are included in the Local Roadway Safety Plan completed in 2022. In 2024, Chino was awarded $400,000 for the development of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan which will update the LRSP and expand its analysis of priority locations based on a systematic approach. As funding becomes available, projects are added to the 5- Year Capital Improvement Program. Traffic calming measures are also incorporated into CIP projects when practical.
TRA-6.3 A1 Develop an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan which identifies locations and funding commitments to provide access to public rights-of-way, including curb cuts and other improvements targeted toward persons with disabilities.
Beginning in 2016, the City began evaluating its buildings, parks, and services for accessibility. In 2021 and 2022, sidewalks and curb ramps began to be inventoried as a baseline for the public rights-of-way.
In 2023, the City completed a full, Citywide self-evaluation and ADA transition plan consisting of City- owned buildings and parks, public right-of-way facilities, and City policies and procedures. The final transition plan addresses identified barriers with a timeline and projected funding sources for the completion of improvements. The ADA Transition Plan was adopted by City Council in February 2024.
Annually, the City applies for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and Transportation Development Act (TDA) funding for sidewalk and ADA ramp improvements for locations throughout the City. These funding streams will address specific accessibility barriers for people will disabilities that are identified in the transition plan.
TRA-10.2 A1 Prepare a Bicycle Master Plan for the City of Chino that establishes where and how the City’s bicycle network will be expanded, including standards to guide review of roadway enhancements or other changes to the roadway system. This plan should be consistent with requirements for allocation of State Bicycle Transportation Account funds and federal funding for bicycle improvements that cannot be allocated without an approved Bicycle Master Plan. The plan should also include criteria for funding prioritization of improvements.
In January 2016, the City adopted the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The Plan provides a guide to improve bicycling and walking activity throughout the City by the implementation of various improvements to roadways that include the addition and/or modification of such features as street trees, sidewalks, benches, planter boxes, and Americans with Disability Act (ADA) access. Since the Plan’s adoption, the City was awarded $127,648 in 2015 and $440,081 in 2017 for the TDA Bicycle and Pedestrian Grant and TDA Transit Improvement Grant. The City has completed the TDA Bicycle Improvements. Additionally, as the city continues annual pavement rehabilitation projects, each corridor is reviewed to determine if bike facilities can be added to the project. With the General Plan Update, the Bicycle Master Plan will be reviewed, updated and fully incorporated into the General Plan as part of the circulation element. Staff has applied for an Active Transportation Plan grant to support the development of an Active Transportation Plan for Chino which will update the 2016 Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan.
TRA-10.2 A2 Develop maps or signage indicating local and regional bicycle routes, including distances to key destinations, such as parks and schools.
All new construction projects affecting bike facilities include bike path and trail signage guiding bicyclists around the network of bike facilities. Further, multi-use trails in Ayala Park and within the SCE Easement include mile marker signage.
TRA-10.2 A3 Promote bicycle-related programs for the community. Healthy Chino staff continues to offer bicycle-related programs in the community. Healthy Chino staff has partnered with the Chino Police Department in planning and running these programs. Chino Bike Day was held on May 10, 2025 at Ruben S. Ayala Park. Chino Bike Day provides a community bike ride (13 miles), a family bike ride (5 miles), bicycle safety workshop, helmet giveaway/fitting, bike obstacle course, free bike repairs, smoothie bike, and kids' activities.
Goal TRA-6 Improve the convenience, intuitiveness, and safety of Chino's street network.
Goal TRA-10 Foster bicycling as a convenient, healthy and environmentally-friendly travel choice in Chino.
Goal TRA-3 Freight transportation that provides efficient service to businesses and industry while limiting impacts to residents and visitors.

ED-1.4 A1 Focus retail recruitment and business attraction efforts around existing concentrations like the North Central Avenue Area, the Spectrum, City Hall and The Preserve.
The City's retail recruitment and marketing strategy are focused on infill areas throughout the City.
Outreach efforts include, but are not limited to site searches to fill the vacancies within Chino and maintaining current retail market area demographic information, updated throughout the year, which is available to real estate professionals and retailers’ tenant representatives. Continued focus is given to areas in the City that lack tenancy and for planned development within The Preserve. Creating lifestyle experiences will be key to continued success for the City of Chino. The Office of Economic Development is focused on destination retail as a strategy for future growth.
ED-1.4 A3 To attract retail that is currently lacking, such as grocery stores, work with brokers and existing stores to identify sites that could be appropriate for a specific store, and actions or investments that could be taken to attract them.
The City meets with real estate professionals, specific retailers’, tenant representatives and retail developers throughout the year in the City to attract specific retail uses to the City. In addition to general grocers, citizens of Chino have indicated the desire for specialty stores like meat markets, Asian markets, Hispanic markets as well as produce focused markets. Community members have also expressed the desire to see more sitdown restaurants, coffee options and new or unique concepts that are not currently in our surrounding communities. With continued residential growth on the horizon, Chino works diligently to manage the needs of its constituents by working with retailers, site selectors and brokers to bring those services to the City in particular to those needs that are lacking in and around The Preserve. A recent parntership with ACRE Socal hopes to build strong relationships with retail tenant reps of unique brands to expand the Chino's retail offerings.
ED-1.4 A4 Monitor vacancy rates and sales tax performance for retail areas in the City in comparison to regional and statewide averages. If vacancy rates and sales tax performance fall below average, work with property and business owners to either improve performance or determine an alternative use for the site.
The City maintains a database of available retail space vacancies and leasing contact information, along with quarterly retail sales tax data for the City, SB County, and the State. This data along with other retail and demographic data provides staff with pertinent information to provide to retail center leasing representatives, center managers and other retail real estate representatives to help identify methods to improve their performance or determine an alternative use for their space or site. Chino continues to surpass local, regional and state averages. With the lowest vacancy rate in the Inland Empire for industrial, Chino continues to build and grow. In addition, commercial and retail rates are very competitive for western San Bernardino County while surpassing state and national averages.
Sales tax is a continued driver for the City with the bulk of revenue derived through medical device manufacturng and auto sales. Traditional brick and mortar are complimented by online and ecommerce driven consumers.
ED-1.4 A5 Actively recruit retail stores by marketing available sites and devoting staff time to working with potential tenants.
Attracting retailers is ongoing through various marketing efforts. At local, regional and national events, we provide current demographic and vacant retail property information to verify the value of locating in Chino. Recruitment of retail opportunities is a daily event for the staff at Chino. In cooperation with advertising and retail trade shows, the City of Chino works diligently at courting the newest and biggest retailers in the world. In the last year Chino has garnered the interest of Handel's Ice Cream, Everhome, Dutch Bros and many other marquee brands. Staff continues to find the perfect location for their restaurants. Our Development Services Department is in the process of updating our General Plan and improving opportunities for a variety of new and transitioning industries to have flexible location options in Chino.
ED-1.4 A7 Maintain ongoing communication with the property owner of the Spectrum Marketplace and Spectrum Town Center developments to foster the potential for a public-private response to various changes in the market and to the specific challenges that these changes might create for the Spectrum.
City staff maintains on-going communication throughout the year with retail centers' ownership, management and leasing representatives to discuss any issues affecting the two centers. The core retail centers are key economic engines within the City and require constant attention. Regular communication is made with ownership and management representatives to remain informed of the status of future vacancies and potential needs.

ED-2.1 A2 Periodically study the skills and education levels of Chino residents and use the information as a guide for recruiting new firms to the City.
Demographic information including education levels, income and ethnicity are available upon request from the City of Chino. The information is provided on the City's website and can be downloaded for print. Information on the City is sourced from a number of different areas including EDD, BLS, HDL, ESRI, CoStar and others, with specific reports generated from Claritas. Census data shows that 50,000 employees are traveling from outside of city proper. In coming months, the City has commissioned an economic Employments Trends Study by Beacon Economics. The study will provide insight to major job industries, wages and growth sector to recruit as part of the business attraction strategy for the Office of Economic Development.
ED-2.1 A3 Encourage local businesses to hire local residents. Strategies to do this could include developing a local job board to advertise vacancies to local residents and working with local educational institutions to provide job fairs.
Although the City continues to have a very low unemployment rate, staff works closely with the San Bernardino County Workforce Development Department to ensure that there are new opportunities for job growth in the City. The City facilitates this by participation in job fairs, hosted by SB County Workforce Developmen Department and Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce. The City coordinates the recruitment and hiring services provided by San Bernardino County Workforce Development Department, which provides its database of local and regional job seekers looking to work closer to their City of residence. Today's goal is to attract and retain higher paying technical and professional jobs. We desire for our citizens to not only live and play in Chino, but to work here too.
ED-2.1 A4 Study whether the City should give preference to local suppliers and firms when issuing requests for goods or services.
The City currently has a Local Business Preference ordinance. This ordinance affords a qualified business located within the City a five-percent reduction of an original submitted bid when comparing to next lowest bidder, thus allowing the local business to be considered as submitting the preferred, lowest bid.

OSC-4.1 A1 Adopt a Construction and Demolition Ordinance requiring recycling of at least 65% of all construction and demolition waste.
The City adopted the Tier 1 voluntary measures of the California 2025 Green Building Code, which includes a requirement to increase the amount of construction and demolition waste to be recycled to 70%.
OSC-5.1 A1 Adopt a Climate Action Plan within 18 months of adoption of this General Plan that demonstrates how the City will achieve the needed reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. The Climate Action Plan shall be developed in coordination with SANBAG and SCAQMD.
The City Council adopted its original Chino Climate Action Plan (CAP) on November 19, 2013. On November 17, 2020, the City has since updated the CAP (2020-2030) to meet new State regulations, most notably Senate Bill (SB) 32, which implements statewide targets to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 40% below the 1990 levels by 2030. The updated CAP utilizes reduction strategies that encourage energy efficiency, water conservation, alternative transportation, solid waste reduction and clean energy.
OSC-6.1 A1 Develop a program to prepare for extreme heat events, including outreach and notification focused on sensitive populations and the establishment of new and maintenance of existing cooling centers.
The City's updated Climate Action Plan (2020-2030) identifies actions to adapt to extreme heat events by: 1) Providing community cooling centers; 2) Providing public outreach, education, and engagement pertaining to the risks of extreme heat and preventive measures; and 3) Developing an extreme heat transportation management strategy. Currently, the Preserve Community Center, Neighborhood Activity Center, and Senior Center are all utilized as cooling centers. Information regarding cooling centers is published on the City's website and social media during the summer months.

PR-1.1 A1 Develop a Community Parks, Facilities and Services Master Plan to reflect Chino’s current park and recreational facilities and programs, as well as describe additional facilities and programs to develop in the future. The Master Plan should examine the need for a City- owned aquatics facility, indoor recreation space, community centers, and space for after- school activities, particularly in the northern section of the City. The Master Plan should also assess the need for additional amenities such as splash pads, dog parks, Frisbee golf, recreational trails, open space areas, and skate/BMX facilities.
In 2021 the City completed a Parks & Facilities Master Plan evaluating programs, existing parks and facilities, and identifying areas within the City that lack in park and recreation facilities. The Master Plan is a living document, reviewed annually; with an update to be completed every five years. Based on the outcome from the Parks and Facilities Master Plan, the City is in the process of identifying vacant land in the north section of Chino to be purchased and developed into park land.
PR-1.2 A1 Enter into joint-use agreements by which Chino schools, particularly those in neighborhoods with a disproportionate lack of recreational facilities, help to provide civic functions such as parks and community meeting spaces.
A joint-use agreement was executed for The Preserve Community Center located in The Preserve Specific Plan, which is a joint-use facility between the City and Chino Valley School District that provides a gymnasium, fitness room and multi-purpose room. Other opportunities to implement this action will be evaluated on an on-going basis and will be considered for possible implementation on a yearly basis.
PR-1.2 A2 Review City and other publicly-owned properties in Chino to identify underutilized properties that could be used to provide additional recreational areas. Examples could include rights- of-way and utility easements.
The City continues the process of identifying vacant land in the north section of Chino to be purchased and developed into park land. The City received a grant through the State of California, Department of Parks and Recreation Office of Grants and Local Services to develop a park on the southeast corner of Central Avenue and Phillips Boulevard, now named Chino Rancho Park. This new 1.18 acre park consists of an entry monument for the City and park, parking lot, restroom building, an all-inclusive playground, shade pavilion, two pickle ball courts, outdoor fitness equipment, open space, walking trail with benches, and drought tolerant landscaping. The parked is now open to the public as of March 29, 2025.
Goal PR-1 Maintain existing park and recreational areas and create new ones in and around the City.

PFS-2.3 A1 Monitor Chino’s crime rates and categories to determine the most appropriate methods to target and reduce crime in the City.
In 2025, the Chino Police Department advanced the City’s public safety priorities through continued investment in personnel, technology, and targeted enforcement strategies, while strengthening community partnerships. Together, these efforts contributed to measurable reductions across several major crime categories.Citywide property crime declined by 4 percent, driven in part by focused prevention and enforcement initiatives. Auto theft decreased by 22 percent and burglary declined by 10 percent. The Measure V–funded Retail Theft Team continued to deliver measurable results, contributing to an 11 percent reduction in retail theft through coordinated enforcement and retailer partnerships.To address emerging regional crime trends, the department redirected investigative resources toward cargo theft, a complex and organized criminal activity impacting the broader supply chain. Through coordinated investigations and expanded collaboration with local businesses, cargo theft decreased by 17 percent in 2025. The department also hosted cargo theft prevention outreach meetings with business stakeholders to improve awareness, reduce vulnerabilities, and support long- term prevention efforts. These initiatives were supported by specialized investigative units, including the Multi-Enforcement Team (MET), which focuses on emerging crime patterns and time-sensitive cases.The department continued expanding its specialized response capabilities with new aviation and K9 resources. Development of the Chino Police Department Helicopter Program progressed throughout the year, with flight operations anticipated in spring 2026. The program is expected to enhance emergency response, support critical incidents, and improve search capabilities for missing or at-risk individuals. The addition of Bloodhound K9 Scout expanded the department’s tracking capability during high-priority incidents.Technology and infrastructure enhancements continued through the expansion and refinement of the Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC). The RTCC consolidates multiple data sources into a centralized operational platform, enabling faster information sharing and real-time analytical support for officers responding to calls for service. This capability has become an essential investigative and situational awareness tool.Digital community engagement also expanded significantly in 2025. Department social media platforms generated more than 14.7 million views and over 341,000 interactions, a 47 percent increase from the prior year. This expanded reach supports timely distribution of public safety information, crime prevention messaging, and incident updates, while strengthening transparency and two-way communication with the community.These results demonstrate the value of coordinated enforcement, technology investment, and community partnership. The department will continue refining these approaches to meet evolving public safety needs and support long-term community well-being.
Goal PFS-2 Maintain a safe environment in Chino through law enforcement and crime prevention.

PFS-2.3 A2 Maintain volunteer opportunities for residents in order to provide additional opportunities for community engagement with the Police Department.
There are volunteer programs currently offered through the Chino Police Department. Some of these include: 1) A Community Police Academy for adults 2) Spanish Community Academy 3) Youth Community Police Academy for teens; 4) Junior Academy for kids ages 10-13 5) The Police Explorer program for teens; 6) The Mounted Posse; 7) The Police Chaplains; 8) Community Emergency Response Team (CERT); 9) The Police Volunteer Internship Program, 10) Volunteers In Policing (VIP) Program that was implemented in August 2025.
The Chino Police Department's Volunteers in Policing (VIP) program enlists community members to assist in various departmental roles. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old, hold a valid California driver’s license, and complete an application process, including interviews, background checks, and attendance at the Community Academy. They commit to a minimum of 10 volunteer hours per month and receive uniforms upon completion. Duties include clerical work, vacation house checks, public relations, and participation in the Y.A.N.A. program, which supports elderly and disabled residents. The program enhances public safety and operational efficiency through community involvement.
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Basic Training is available to the community and consists of 20-hours of curriculum that teaches individuals how to help themselves, their families, and their neighbors during a disaster. CERT trains community members in basic disaster response skills such as team organization, disaster medical operations, fire safety, and light search and rescue. Upon completion of the CERT Basic Training, community members can affiliate with Chino PD as CERT volunteers. CERT volunteers will be a deployable resource to assist during a disaster and in non- disaster times be able to promote emergency preparedness in the community. Since August 2021, 96 people have completed CERT Basic.
LISTOS is a grass-roots disaster preparedness program that can be tailored to meet the individual needs of Spanish-speaking communities. The program is delivered in a format that is both culturally and linguistically appropriate for the target population. LISTOS partners with community leaders, jurisdictions, non-profits, faith-based organizations, schools, and other community institutions. By partnering with these organizations, LISTOS provides disaster preparedness information to the Spanish-speaking community. Listos instructs the participants in the command structure of first responders ensuring communication between LISTOS graduates and firefighters and police in the event of an emergency. LISTOS courses are held when requested by the community.

PFS-2.3 A3 Seek grant funding for community policing, commercial vehicle enforcement, and other programs that will improve service levels within the City.
Opportunities for grant-funding for various programs are pursued on an on-going basis. Currently, the Chino Police Department utilizes grant funds to assist with crime prevention programs, alcohol prevention/education/enforcement (Alcohol and Beverage Control grant), and National Night Out, multiple state-funded DUI education/enforcement grants, and the Click it or Ticket (Seatbelt enforcement grant). The Traffic Unit applied for and was awarded the STEP grant for $220,000. This grant provides extra hours for the enforcement of traffic violations and DUI/drug-related violations. The grant-funded enforcement efforts yielded 9,882 vehicles contacted, 35 DUI arrests, and 820 citations issued for collision-causing violations.
The Traffic Unit applied for and was awarded its third Motorcycle Safety Grant for $20,000.This gives us the opportunity to engage with civilian motorcycle riders at safety presentations and to conduct four motorcycle riding instructional courses, called Ride to Live, throughout the grant year. 89 motorcycle riders received free training this year.
With funding from a Cannabis Tax Fund Grant from the California Highway Patrol in the amount of $110,000, we upfitted a mobile educational trailer. The trailer was loaded with interactive educational tools, including impaired driving simulators, aimed at teaching the public about the dangers of marijuana impaired driving. The trailer was deployed at 8 community events in 2025.
Goal PFS-6 Design and operate public buildings that are a source of civic pride for all residents.
PFS-6.2 A1 Identify locations for additional library branches or shared-use libraries in Chino. The entitlements for the City's second community center and new City library were approved May 2025, located at the southwest corner of Main and Market Streets. Project construction is estimated to be completed in 2028.
PFS-7.1 A1 Consider participation and/or support of proposed conjunctive use programs and Chino Basin storage and recovery programs that allow the distribution of water between jurisdictions during periods of excess supply. These programs would be administered through participation in the Chino Basin Watermaster and Water Facilities Authority.
Throughout the year, the City continues to be involved in discussions with MWD, IEUA, and other local water purveyors to implement additional conjunctive use programs.
PFS-7.1 A2 Evaluate the feasibility of establishing interconnections or water conveyance plans between the Chino water system and the water systems of the following neighboring water agencies:
• Monte Vista Water District
• City of Ontario (a connection currently exists at Benson Avenue) • City of Chino Hills
• Jurupa Community Services District
• San Antonio Water Company
• City of Upland
• City of Pomona
• The Inland Empire Utilities Agency
Discussions between the City and various local water agencies regarding water system interconnections are ongoing. A dedicated interconnection exists between Chino and Ontario. Chino currently has the ability to receive water from Water Facilities Authority (WFA) member agencies (i.e.
Monte Vista Water District, Upland, Ontario, and Chino Hills) through the WFA surface water treatment plant. Chino also receives an allocated amount of water provided by the Chino Basin Desalter.
PFS-7.5 A1 Work with the Inland Empire Utilities Agency to provide recycled water systems, including pipelines, pump stations, and storage facilities to serve primarily public facilities, schools, and parks as funding becomes available.
IEUA currently supplies recycled water to the City at several locations. The City meets with IEUA respresentatives as needed to discuss recycled water plans and activities.
PFS-7.5 A2 Develop a plan to irrigate agricultural lands with recycled water, both inside and outside of the City's service area, where feasible.
Recycled water is currently used to irrigate agricultural lands in the City. The City maintains a plan that identifies the users already connected to a recycled water line as well as those potential users.
Goal PFS-7 Ensure an adequate supply of water for all types of users.
