Surface slopes of the disabled accessible parking spots and required access aisles shall be kept to a minimum and shall not exceed one unit vertical to 50 units horizontal (2 percent slope) in any direction. 5. All parking spaces for persons with disabilities shall be located in accordance with State law, as close as possible to the entrance(s) to the use which they are intended to serve, and oriented so that the user of the parking space need not go past the rear of automobile parking spaces in order to reach the building’s entrance. 6. Buildings with multiple entrances shall have disabled accessible parking spaces dispersed so that disabled accessible parking spaces are located near all entrances. C. Compact Parking Stalls. 1. Compact parking stalls may be provided at a maximum rate equal to 25 percent of the total required parking spaces. 2. All parking spaces for compact cars shall be clearly marked with the word “Compact” either on the wheel stop or curb, or on the pavement at the opening of the space. 3. Compact parking spaces shall be reasonably dispersed throughout the parking area, subject to review and approval by Director of Community Development Services. D. Nonconforming Parking Facilities. Existing land uses with off-street parking and loading facilities that do not conform to the requirements of this chapter may be enlarged or expanded; provided that additional parking and loading facilities shall be added so that the enlarged or expanded portion of the building conforms to the requirements of this chapter, subject to the applicable provisions for nonconforming uses and structures in Chapter 20.510 (Nonconforming Uses, Structures, and Parcels) and the exclusion of changes in use that would require less than 10 spaces. E. Off-Site Parking. Required parking spaces shall be provided on the same building site as the use it is intended to serve. However, the City may approve required parking off-site if guarantees are a lease agreement is recorded to assure that documents the availability of the off-site parking spaces for the duration of the use that it is to serve. A copy of the lease agreement shall be provided to the Director of Development Services prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Newly constructed off-site parking may not be located in a zoning district in which the principal use served by the parking is prohibited. In no case shall off-site parking be located more than 250 500 feet from the building site of the use that it is intended to serve in non-residential zoning districts, except that employee spaces may be located 1,500 from the building site. F. Reductions to the Required Number. The Director of Development Services or the Planning Commission, whoever has final approval authority, may grant a reduction in the amount of required on-site parking when one or more of the following conditions exist: 1. Shared Parking. Multiple uses may use joint parking facilities when operations for the respective uses are not normally conducted during the same hours, or when hours of peak use CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE PARKING AND LOADING CHAPTER 20.511 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 118 differ, subject to the requirements of Government Code Section 65863.2. Spaces in shared parking facilities shall count toward meeting on-site parking requirements. Requests for the use of shared parking must meet the following conditions: A parking demand study has been prepared which demonstrates that there will be no substantial conflicts between the subject uses with regard to principal hours of operation and periods of peak parking demand. a. Calculation of Parking Requirement for Shared Parking. Within a shared parking environment, peak period parking demand shall be calculated by estimating the parking demand for all uses at the combined peak period of demand for the site. The estimated parking demand for each use shall be calculated for each hour of a 24-hour period, based on the percent of peak demand for each hour. The hourly demand for all uses shall be totaled for each hour, and the greatest resulting hourly demand shall be the required number of parking spaces. This required number may be reduced or increased. The hourly demand for each use shall be based on the most recent edition of Parking Generation published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Shared Parking, published by the Urban Land Institute, or other equivalent information from the National Parking Association, the International Council of Shopping Centers, or the Urban Land Institute. b. Location of Joint Parking Facility. The proposed joint parking facility is not located further than 1,000 feet walking distance from the uses which it serves for facilities serving visitors and customers and 2,000 feet for facilities for employee parking. Shared parking sites that are more than 2,000 feet walking distance from the uses served may be approved if there is a plan for shuttles or other accommodation to move between the parking site and the uses served. c. Conversion of Existing Parking Facilities for Shared Use. An existing parking facility is not required to be maintained for the exclusive private use of the land use for which it was constructed as accessory parking. A property owner may submit to the Director of Development Services a parking inventory and occupancy study of off-street parking and on-street parking in the vicinity of the project, conducted by an independent transportation planning and/or engineering consultant, to demonstrate that a certain share of the existing parking spaces on his/her their property are infrequently utilized. On the basis of this study, the Director may grant the property owner authorization to dedicate the underutilized portion of his/hertheir off-street parking to other, non-accessory uses, including leasing such spaces to other individuals, or to other property owners or developers of projects within a one-quarter mile walking distance of the facility to provide some or all of their required off-street parking obligations. d. Shared Parking for Residential Development. For shared parking for residential development of 10 units or more or 18,000 square feet or more, the City shall notify property owners within 300 feet of the development of the shared parking proposal, and property owners have 14 days to request a public hearing before the Planning Commission, which shall then have final authority to approval or deny a shared parking agreement.

CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE PARKING AND LOADING CHAPTER 20.511 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 119 e. Conditions of Approval. Conditions of site approval for a new joint parking facility shall ensure continued availability of the joint parking facilities for all users. If off-site, a copy of the lease agreement shall be provided to the Director of Development Services prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Newly constructed off-site joint parking facilities may not be located in a zoning district in which the principal use served by the parking is prohibited. The City shall not require the curing of a preexisting deficit in the number of parking spaces on a site as a condition of approval of a shared parking agreement. 2. Low Demand. The number of parking spaces required by this chapter may be reduced if it can be demonstrated that the use will not utilize the required number of spaces due to the nature of the specific use, or the manner in which the specific use is conducted. 3. Transportation Demand Management Plan. The number of required parking spaces may be decreased, subject to the approval of a Transportation Demand Management Plan that is, prepared in accordance with standards set forth by the City Traffic Engineer and adopted by resolution of the City Council. 4. Bus Stop/Transportation Facility Credit. A commercial or multiple family development project located within 400 feet of a bus stop may reduce the number of required parking spaces by up to 5 percent with approval of a site approval. If a commercial or multiple family development project is located within 400 feet of a bus transportation facility, the project may reduce the number of required parking spaces by up to 10 percent with approval of a site approval. A transportation facility is defined as a place where more than four bus routes converge and where passenger amenities, such as trash receptacles, benches and covered waiting areas are also located. 5. Mixed Use Projects. A mixed-usemixed use project with both commercial and residential units may reduce parking requirements up to 50 percent for either the commercial or residential use, whichever parking requirement is smaller, based on a shared parking study. A mixed-usemixed use project with both office and commercial uses may reduce parking requirements up to 75 percent for either the office or residential uses, whichever parking requirement is smaller, based on a shared parking study with approval of a site approval if the Planning Commission makes the following findings in addition to the findings otherwise required: a. That a shared parking study justifies the proposed reduction in the parking requirements and, as necessary, adequate measures will be put in place to reduce parking demand, such as promoting use of public transit, bicycling, and walking, and allowing telecommuting; and b. That the reduction or elimination of the required parking spaces will not substantially reduce the availability of on-street parking for the occupants of nearby commercial, office, and/or residential buildings. 6. Affordable Housing Projects. Where an applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission that variations in the number of spaces or the standards or dimensions otherwise required by this Chapter are warranted for affordable housing, an alternative parking area design and loading plan may be allowed with site approval. To grant such a variation, the CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE PARKING AND LOADING CHAPTER 20.511 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 120 Planning Commission must make the following findings in addition to the findings otherwise required for a site approval: a. That the applicant qualifies for reduced parking under Section 65915 of the Government Code; or b. That the applicant has convincingly demonstrated that the alternative plan is a superior solution and the requested modifications in the design and parking area layout standards are warranted as a development incentive and waiver of standards to be able to reduce development costs and as a consequence of provide affordable housing; and c. That the alternative parking arrangement will be in place at all times during operation and life of the principal uses to be served by the parking (a minimum of 45 years for for-sale projects and a minimum of 75 years or as long as the property is in residential use, whichever is greater, for rental projects). 20.511.050 – Parking Design Standards A.

As a result, agricultural operations may become the subject of nuisance complaints or litigation, and could be pressured to cease or curtail operations, or may be discouraged from making farm improvements. To conserve and protect the continued viability of agricultural operations, it is the intention of the city to limit the circumstances under which agricultural operations may be deemed to constitute a nuisance. The intent is to balance the rights of farmers to produce dairy products, food and other agricultural commodities, with the rights of non-farmers who own, occupy or use land adjacent to agricultural property. 20.513.020 – Applicability The right-to-farm policy contained herein shall apply to all legal agricultural operations within the Agricultural Overlay District, and all other legally established agricultural operations existing at the time the property was annexed to the city of Chino. For the purposes of this right-to-farm provision, agricultural operations shall include those uses permitted in the AG zoning district. 20.513.030 – General Requirements A. No agricultural operations conducted or maintained in a manner consistent with proper and accepted customs and standards, as established and followed by similar agricultural operations in the same locality, shall be or become a nuisance, private or public, due to any changed condition in or about the locality if the agricultural operation was existing at the time of annexation or thereafter legally expanded, and if it was not a nuisance at the time it began. B. Purchasers of lots near or adjacent to agricultural uses shall be notified of all surrounding agricultural activities including the types of agricultural activities and potential conflicts such as odors, noise, dust, pesticide abatement, etc. If the developer is the purchaser of the property, this notice shall be extended to subsequent owners.

Any costs associated with negotiation, mediation or dispute resolution pursuant to this section shall be borne by the parties. D. This section shall not invalidate any provision contained in the Health and Safety Code, Fish and Game Code, Food and Agricultural Code, or Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code of the state of California, if the agricultural operation constitutes a nuisance, public or private, as specifically defined or described in any such provision. E. This section is not to be construed so as to modify or abridge the state law set out in the California Civil Code relative to nuisances, but rather it is only to be utilized in the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of city ordinances and regulations.

Major WTFPPs. The Director’s decision on a Major WTFPP may be appealed as provided in Section 20.602.130 of this Code. 20.515.090 – Location Standards A. Preface to Location Standards. This section sets out criteria for the location and support structure of wireless facilities. The City cumulatively considers whether the facility is in a preferred location and on a preferred support structure to evaluate the least intrusive means for an applicant to provide its services to the public. Subsection 20.22515.090.B (Preferred Locations) describes land use designations where wireless facilities are in a “preferred location” and thus not subject to an alternative sites analysis. Subsection 20.22515.090.C (Discouraged Locations) provides specific locations where wireless facilities are discouraged. It is possible for a proposed facility to be simultaneously in a “preferred” zone but also in a “discouraged” location, such as a proposal within an industrial zone (a “preferred” location) that also happens to be within 200 feet from a residence (a “discouraged” location). In such cases, the location would not be deemed to be a “preferred” location under Subsection 20.22515.090.B, and thus shall be subject to an alternative sites analysis presenting the most favored location under Subsection 20.22515.090.C.2 (Discouraged Locations) and the most preferred support structure technically feasible and potentially available under Subsection 20.51522.090.D (Support Structure Preferences). In situations involving discouraged locations where the applicant must consider alternative sites, preferences for facility locations and preferred support structures are ranked in Subsections 20.51522.090.C.2 and D, respectively. B. Preferred Locations. All applicants must, to the extent technically feasible and potentially available, propose wireless facilities in a preferred location. No alternative sites analysis is required for stealth or concealed facilities proposed in any preferred location. To qualify as a preferred location site, the wireless facility must be stealthed or concealed. For all other facilities, the approval authority shall consider whether any more preferred location would be technically feasible or potentially available. The following locations are all considered “preferred locations,” so long as the site is not simultaneously in a discouraged location under Subsection 20.51522.090.C (Discouraged Locations): 1. Parcels within industrial zoning districts. 2. Parcels within commercial zoning districts. C. Discouraged Locations. When an application involves a facility in a discouraged location, the approval authority shall consider whether any alternative site within a preferred location would be technically feasible and potentially available. If no such preferred location alternative exists, the approval authority shall consider whether any less discouraged location would be technically feasible and potentially available per the ranking of locations listed in Subsection 20.51522.090.C.2 (Discouraged Locations).

CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY CHAPTER 20.515 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 217

1. The following locations are all “discouraged” and ordered from most discouraged to least discouraged: a. Any location where the wireless facility would be within 200 feet of a structure approved for residential use. b. Any location where the wireless facility would be within 200 feet of a local, state, or nationally designated historic property, structure, or district. c. Any location where the wireless facility would be within 200 feet of a property, structure, or district eligible for local, state, or national historic designation. 2. When an application involves a wireless facility in a discouraged location, regardless of zone, applicants must propose the facilities on parcels with the most favored land use designation listed below whenever technically feasible and potentially available. Applications must include a written justification, supported by factual and verifiable evidence, that shows that no higher-ranked location is technically feasible and potentially available, unless the proposed facility is in the most favored land use designation and/or is a stealth or concealed facility. The following zoning districts are ranked from most favored to least favored for facilities in a discouraged location: a. Industrial. b. Commercial. c. Other nonresidential zones. d. Residential. D. Support Structure Preferences. When an application involves a facility in a discouraged location, the approval authority shall, in addition to considering the most favored location in 22.22515.090.C (Discouraged Locations), consider whether any more preferred support structure would be technically feasible and potentially available. The approval authority may require the applicant to use a more preferred support structure when the alternative is technically feasible and potentially available. The City’s preferences for support structures are as follows, ordered from most preferred to least preferred: 1. Collocation on an existing structure with existing wireless facilities. 2. Installations on a rooftop. 3. Installations on a building facade. 4. A stealthed or concealed freestanding facility. 5. Stealthed or concealed installations within the public right-of-way. 6. Installations on a replacement pole(s) within private streets (as defined in Section 10.04.180 of this Code). 7. Installations on a new freestanding structure within private streets (as defined in Section 10.04.180 of this Code).

CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY CHAPTER 20.515 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 218

20.515.100 – Design Standards A. Concealment/stealthing. All wireless facilities must be concealed and/or stealthed to the maximum extent feasible with design elements and techniques that hide, mimic or blend with the underlying support structure, surrounding environment and adjacent uses. B. Overall Height. To maintain the natural appearance of the community, wireless facilities may not exceed the maximum height allowed as stated, if at all, in Section 20.10.030501.030 (General Site Regulations) of this Code. If the applicant plants new natural trees around the proposed wireless facility, the approval authority shall consider the future mature height of such trees when evaluating compliance with this standard. C. Setbacks. All wireless facilities must be compliant with all setback requirements applicable to structures on the underlying parcel. D. Noise. All wireless facilities must be compliant with all applicable noise regulations, which include, without limitation, any noise regulations in Chapter 9.40 of this Code. The approval authority may require the applicant to incorporate appropriate noise-baffling materials and/or noise-mitigation strategies to avoid any ambient noise from equipment reasonably likely to exceed the applicable noise regulations. E. Landscaping. All wireless facilities proposed to be placed in a landscaped area must include landscape features (which may include, without limitation, trees, shrubs and ground cover) and a landscape maintenance plan. The approval authority may require additional landscape features to screen the wireless facility from public view, avoid or mitigate potential adverse impacts on adjacent properties, or otherwise enhance the stealthing or concealment required under this chapter. All plants proposed or required must be native and/or drought-resistant and be consistent with the terms of Chapter 20.19 508 (Landscaping) of this Code. F. Security Measures. To prevent unauthorized access, theft, vandalism, attractive nuisance or other hazards, reasonable and appropriate security measures, such as fences, walls, electrified fences, and anti-climbing devices, may be required, if technically feasible and allowed by the Civil Code. Security measures shall be designed and implemented in a manner that enhances or contributes to the overall stealthing or concealment, and the approval authority may condition approval on additional stealth or concealment elements to mitigate any aesthetic impacts, which may include, without limitation, additional landscape features. The approval authority shall not approve barbed wire, razor ribbon, electrified fences or any similar security measures. G. Secondary Power Sources. The approval authority may approve secondary or backup power sources and/or generators on a case-by-case basis, excepting that such power sources shall be approved in accordance with Government Code Section 65850.75 for so long as such section is effective or as may be amended. The approval authority shall not approve any permanent diesel generators or other similarly noisy or noxious generators in or within 250 feet from any residential structure absent a showing of extraordinary need, by clear and convincing evidence, such as a declared public emergency; provided, however, the approval authority may approve sockets or other connections used for temporary backup generators.

CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY CHAPTER 20.515 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 219 H. Lights. Wireless facilities may not include exterior lights other than as may be required under Federal Aviation Administration, FCC, other applicable federal or state governmental regulations. All exterior lights permitted or required to be installed must be installed in locations and within enclosures that mitigate illumination impacts on other properties to the maximum extent feasible. Any lights used shall be appropriately shielded from public view. Any light beacons or lightning arresters shall be included in the overall height calculation. I. Signage; Advertisements. All wireless facilities must include signage that accurately identifies the equipment owner/operator, the owner/operator’s site name or identification number and a toll-free number to the owner/operator’s network operations center. Wireless facilities may not bear any other signage or advertisements unless expressly approved by the approval authority, required by law or recommended under FCC or other federal governmental agencies. J. Future Expansion. To the extent feasible and aesthetically desirable, all new wireless facilities should be designed and sited in a manner that accommodates potential future collocations and other expansions that can be integrated into the proposed wireless facility or its associated structures with no or negligible visual changes to the outward appearance. The approval authority may waive the requirements in this section when the approval authority determines future expansions at a proposed wireless facility would be aesthetically undesirable. K. Utilities. All cables and connectors for telephone, primary electric and other similar utilities must be routed underground to the extent feasible in conduits large enough to accommodate future collocated wireless facilities; there shall be no exposed cabling. To the extent feasible, undergrounded cables and wires must transition directly into the pole base without any external above-ground cabinet, enclosure, or “doghouse.” Meters, panels, disconnect switches and other associated equipment must be concealed in inconspicuous locations to the fullest extent technically feasible. The approval authority shall not approve new overhead utility lines or service drops merely because compliance with the undergrounding requirements would increase the project cost. Microwave or other wireless backhaul is discouraged when it would involve a separate and unstealthed or unconcealed antenna. L. Parking; Access. Any equipment or improvements constructed or installed in connection with any wireless facilities must not reduce any parking spaces below the minimum requirement for the subject property. Whenever feasible, wireless facilities should use existing parking and access rather than construct new parking or access improvements. Any new parking or access improvements should be the minimum size necessary to reasonably accommodate the proposed use and comply with applicable City and safety codes. M. Compliance with Laws. All wireless facilities must be designed and sited in compliance with all applicable federal, state, regional, and local laws, regulations, rules, restrictions and conditions, which includes without limitation the California Building Standards Code, Americans with Disabilities Act, General Plan and any applicable specific plan, the Chino Municipal Code and any conditions or restrictions in any permit or other governmental approval issued by any public agency with jurisdiction over the project. N. Towers and Freestanding Wireless Facilities. In addition to all other design requirements in this chapter, the following provisions shall be applied to a tower or other freestanding wireless facility:

CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY CHAPTER 20.515 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 220 O. Tower-Mounted Equipment. All tower-mounted equipment must be mounted as close to the vertical support structure as possible to reduce its overall visual profile. Applicants must mount non-antenna, tower-mounted equipment (including, but not limited to, remote radio units/heads, surge suppressors and utility demarcation boxes) directly behind the antennas to the maximum extent technically feasible. All tower-mounted equipment, cables and hardware must be painted with flat/neutral colors subject to the approval authority’s prior approval. P. Ground-Mounted Equipment. To the extent technically feasible all ground-mounted equipment must either be concealed underground, or concealed within an existing or new structure, or other enclosure(s) or stealth design subject to the approval authority’s prior approval. The approval authority may require additional concealment or stealthing elements as the approval authority finds necessary or appropriate to blend the ground-mounted equipment, enclosure and/or other improvements into the natural and/or built environment. Q. Faux Trees. In addition to all other design requirements in this chapter, the following provisions shall apply to a WTFPP for a faux tree: 1. Shape and Branching. Faux trees shall be designed and shaped from bottom to top to resemble the natural tree shape associated with the actual tree species that the faux tree is intended to resemble. 2. Bark Cladding. The entire tower above any fence line shall be fitted with faux-bark cladding, painted or colored with browns or other appropriate earth tones to mimic natural tree bark resembling the actual tree species that the faux tree is intended to resemble. 3. Equipment Stealthing. All antennas, accessory equipment, cross arms, hardware, cables and other attachments to the faux tree must be painted or colored with a flat greens, browns or other appropriate earth tones to blend into the faux branches. All antennas, remote radio units, tower-mounted amplifiers and other similar equipment larger than one cubic foot shall be fitted with a faux tree “sock” with faux leaves. No tower-mounted equipment shall be permitted to protrude beyond the faux branch canopy such that it would materially alter the applicable tree shape. 4. Material Selection and Approval. All materials and finishes used to stealth wireless facilities mounted on a faux tree shall be subject to prior approval by the Department. Applicants shall use only high-quality materials to stealth the wireless facility. The applicant shall use color- extruded plastics for elements such as the faux leaves and faux bark cladding to prolong the like-new appearance and reduce fading caused by exposure to the sun and other weather conditions. R. Fall Zone. All freestanding towers outside the public rights-of-way must be setback from habitable structures approved for residential occupancy by a distance equal to one horizontal foot for every foot of the tower height, or the distance from the highest engineered break point to the top of the tower. The approval authority may waive the setback requirement for freestanding towers that meet Class 3 structural standards for critical infrastructure as defined in the most current revision of the ANSI/TIA-222 Structural Standard for Antenna Supporting Structures, Antennas and Small Wind Turbine Support Structures.

CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY CHAPTER 20.515 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 221 S. Building-Mounted Wireless Facilities. In addition to all other design requirements in this chapter, the following provisions shall be applied to a wireless facility installed on a building rooftop or facade: 1. Architectural Integration. All applicants should, to the extent feasible, propose non-tower wireless facilities that are completely concealed and architecturally integrated into the existing facade or rooftop features with no visible impacts from any publicly accessible areas at ground level (examples include, but are not limited to, antennas behind existing parapet walls or facades replaced with RF-transparent material and finished to mimic the replaced materials). Alternatively, when integration with existing building features is not feasible, the applicant should propose completely concealed structures or appurtenances designed to mimic the support structure’s original architecture and proportions (examples include, but are not limited to, cupolas, steeples, chimneys and water tanks). Facilities must be located behind existing parapet walls or other existing screening elements to the maximum extent feasible. 2. Rooftop Wireless Facilities. All rooftop-mounted equipment must be screened from public view with concealment measures that match the underlying structure in proportion, quality, architectural style and finish to the maximum extent practicable. The approval authority may approve unscreened rooftop equipment only when it expressly finds that such equipment is effectively concealed due to its low height and/or setback from the roofline. 3. Facade-Mounted Wireless Facilities. When wireless facilities cannot be placed behind existing parapet walls or other existing screening elements, the approval authority may approve facade-mounted equipment in accordance with this Subsection. All facade-mounted equipment must be concealed behind screen walls and mounted as flush to the facade as practicable. The approval authority may not approve “pop-out” screen boxes unless the design is architecturally consistent with the original building or support structure. To the extent feasible, facade-mounted equipment must be installed on the facade(s) along the building frontage that is the least prominent or publicly visible. T. Administrative Design Guidelines. The Director may propose design guidelines, SWF Regulations (as defined in Section 20.51522.030(C) (Small Wireless Facilities/Policy)), and/or an Eligible Facilities Request Policy (as defined in Section 20.22515.030(D) (Eligible Facilities Requests/Policy)), for consideration by the City Council to clarify the aesthetic and public safety goals and standards in this chapter for City staff, applicants and the public. These guidelines and regulations shall provide more detailed standards to implement the general principals articulated in this section and may include specific standards for particular wireless facilities or site locations, but shall not unreasonably discriminate between functionally equivalent service providers. These design guidelines and regulations, and any subsequent amendments, shall not be effective unless approved by a resolution or ordinance amendment (as applicable) adopted by the City Council. If a conflict arises between the development standards specified in this chapter and the design guidelines adopted under this section, the development standards specified in this chapter shall control.

CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY CHAPTER 20.515 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 222

20.515.110 – Standard Conditions for Approved Permits A. General. Except as may be authorized in Subsection 20.22515.110(B) (Modified Conditions), all wireless facilities approved under this chapter, or deemed approved by the operation of law, shall be automatically subject to the following conditions: 1. Permit Term; No Site Transfers. WTFPPs do not run with the land. The permit will automatically expire 10 years and one day from its issuance unless California Government Code Section 65964(b) is amended to state otherwise. Any other permits or approvals issued in connection with any collocation, modification or other change to this wireless facility, which includes without limitation any permits or other approvals deemed-granted or deemed-approved under federal or state law, will not extend this term limit unless expressly provided otherwise in such permit or approval or required under federal or state law. No change in ownership of the wireless facility, the site, or the subject property shall affect the permit term. This permit may not be transferred to another site or property. 2. Permit Renewal. The permittee may apply for permit renewal not more than one year before this permit expires. The permittee must demonstrate that the subject wireless facility complies with all the conditions of approval associated with its permit and all applicable provisions in this Code that exist at the time the decision to renew or not renew is rendered. The approval authority (which shall be the approval authority that approved the original WTFPP) may modify or amend the conditions on a case-by-case basis as may be necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with this Code or other applicable law. Upon renewal, this permit will automatically expire 10 years and one day from its issuance. Additional permit renewals shall be subject to the procedures in this subsection. 3. Build-Out Period. This construction permit will automatically expire one year from the approval date (the “build-out period”) unless the permittee obtains all other permits and approvals required to install, construct and/or operate the approved wireless facility, which includes without limitation any permits or approvals required by any federal, state or local public agencies with jurisdiction over the subject property, support structure or the wireless facility and its use. The permittee may request in writing, and the Director may grant in writing, one six-month extension to the build-out period if the permittee submits substantial and reliable written evidence demonstrating justifiable cause for a six-month extension. If the build-out period (and any extension) expires, the construction permit shall be automatically void but the permittee may resubmit a new complete application, which includes, without limitation all application fees, for the same or substantially similar project. 4. Approved Plans. Any construction plans submitted to the building official shall incorporate the permit, together with all conditions of approval and the photo simulations associated with the permit (collectively, the “approved plans”). The permittee must construct, install and operate the wireless facility in substantial compliance with the approved plans. Any alterations, modifications or other changes to the approved plans, whether requested by the permittee or required by other departments or public agencies with jurisdiction over the wireless facility, shall be subject to the Director’s prior review and approval. After the Director receives a written CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY CHAPTER 20.515 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 223 request to approve an alteration, modification or other change to the approved plans, the Director may refer the request to the original approval authority if the Director finds that it proposes a substantial change from the approved plans or implicates a significant or substantial land-use concern 5. Post-Installation Certification. At the time permittee commences full, unattended operations at a wireless facility, the permittee shall provide the Director with documentation reasonably acceptable to the Director that the wireless facility has been installed and/or constructed in strict compliance with the approved plans. Such documentation shall include without limitation as-built drawings, GIS data and site photographs. In a written notice to the permittee, the Director shall either certify that the wireless facility complies with the approved plans or order the permittee to correct any noncompliance. 6. Adverse Impacts on Other Properties. The permittee shall use all reasonable efforts to avoid any and all unreasonable, undue or unnecessary adverse impacts on nearby properties that may arise from the permittee’s or its authorized personnel’s construction, installation, operation, modification, maintenance, repair, removal and/or other activities on or about the site. The permittee shall not perform or cause others to perform any construction, installation, operation, modification, maintenance, repair, removal or other work that involves heavy equipment or machines except during normal construction work hours authorized by Chapter 15.44 of this Code. The restricted work hours in this condition will not prohibit any work required to prevent an actual, immediate harm to property or persons. The Director may issue a stop work order for any activities that violates this condition in whole or in part. If the Director finds good cause to believe that ambient noise from a facility violates applicable noise regulations in this Code (Chapter 9.40), the Director, in addition to any other actions or remedies authorized by the permit, this Code or other applicable laws, may require the permittee to commission a noise study, at permittee’s sole cost, by a qualified professional to evaluate the facility’s compliance. 7. Compliance with Applicable Laws. The permittee shall maintain compliance at all times with all federal, state and local statutes, regulations, orders or other rules that carry the force of law (“laws”) applicable to the permittee, the subject property, the wireless facility or any use or activities in connection with the use authorized in this permit. If the Director finds good cause to believe that the wireless facility is not in compliance with any laws applicable to human exposure to RF emissions, either individually or cumulatively with other transmitters in the vicinity, that result in RF exposures that exceed the FCC’s maximum permissible exposure level for the general population, the Director may require the permittee to submit a written report certified by a qualified radio frequency engineer familiar with the wireless facility that certifies that the wireless facility is in compliance with all such laws. The Director may order the facility to be powered down if, based on objective evidence, the Director finds that the wireless facility is in fact not in compliance with any laws applicable to human exposure to RF emissions until such time that the permittee demonstrates actual compliance with such laws. The permittee expressly acknowledges and agrees that this obligation is intended to be broadly construed and that no other specific requirements in these conditions are intended to reduce, relieve or otherwise lessen the permittee’s obligations to maintain compliance with all laws. No failure or omission by the City to timely notice, prompt or enforce compliance with any applicable CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY CHAPTER 20.515 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 224 provision in this Code, this chapter, any permit, any permit condition or any applicable law or regulation, shall be deemed to relieve, waive or lessen the permittee’s obligation to comply in all respects with all applicable provisions in this Code, this chapter, any permit, any permit condition or any applicable law or regulation. 8. Site Maintenance. The permittee shall keep the site area, which includes, without limitation, any and all improvements, equipment, structures, access routes, walls, fences and landscape features, in a neat, clean, safe and code-compliant condition in accordance with the approved plans and all conditions in this permit. The permittee shall keep the site area free from all litter and debris at all times. Routine maintenance shall be restricted to normal construction work hours specified in Chapter 15.44 of this Code. The permittee, at no cost to the City, shall remove and remediate any graffiti or other vandalism at the site within 48 hours after the permittee receives notice or otherwise becomes aware that such graffiti or other vandalism occurred. 9. Landscape Features. The permittee shall replace any landscape features damaged or displaced by the construction, installation, operation, maintenance or other work performed by the permittee or at the permittee’s direction on or about the site. If any trees are damaged or displaced, the permittee shall hire and pay for a licensed arborist to select plant and maintain replacement landscaping, in compliance with the Chapter 20.19 507 of this Code (Landscaping), in an appropriate location for the species. Any replacement tree must be substantially the same size as the damaged tree or as otherwise approved by the City. The permittee shall, at all times, be responsible to maintain any replacement landscape features. 10. Abandonment. The permittee shall notify the Director when the permittee intends to abandon or decommission the wireless facility authorized under this permit. In addition, the wireless facility authorized under this permit shall be deemed abandoned if the wireless facility has not operated for any continuous six-month period and the permittee fails to resume operations within 90 days from a written notice from the Director. Within 90 days after a wireless facility is abandoned or deemed abandoned, the permittee and/or property owner shall completely remove the wireless facility and all related improvements and shall restore all affected areas to a condition compliant with all applicable laws, which includes without limitation this Code. The permittee and/or property owner may request an extension to complete restoration to 180 days after a wireless facility is abandoned or deemed abandoned, which the Director may grant if the applicant presents evidence of good cause for the extension. In the event that neither the permittee nor the property owner complies with the removal and restoration obligations under this condition within the required period, the City shall have the right (but not the obligation) to perform such removal and restoration with or without notice, and the permittee and property owner shall be jointly and severally liable for all costs and expenses incurred by the City in connection with such removal and/or restoration activities; the City may also collect such costs from the performance bond posted and to the extent such costs exceed the amount of the performance bond, collect those excess costs in accordance with this Code. Unless otherwise provided herein, the City has no obligation to store such facility or associated equipment. 11. Inspections; Emergencies. The permittee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the City’s officers, officials, staff, agents, contractors or other designees may enter onto the site and CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY CHAPTER 20.515 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 225 inspect the improvements and equipment upon reasonable prior notice to the permittee and/or property owner. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the City’s officers, officials, staff, agents, contractors or other designees may, but will not be obligated to, enter onto the site area without prior notice to support, repair, disable or remove any improvements or equipment in emergencies or when such improvements or equipment threatens actual, imminent harm to property or persons. The permittee and/or property owner, if present, may observe the City’s officers, officials, staff or other designees while any such inspection or emergency access occurs. 12. Safety Hazard Protocol. If the Fire Chief or Building Official (or their designee) finds good cause to believe that the wireless facility presents an immediate fire risk, electrical hazard or other threat to public health and safety in violation of any applicable law, the Fire Chief of Building Official may order the facility to be shut down and powered off until such time as the immediate threat has been mitigated, after a good faith effort is made to notify the applicant, if feasible. Any mitigations required shall be at the permittee’s sole cost and expense. 13. Contact Information. Prior to final inspection and at all times relevant to this permit, the permittee shall keep on file with the Department basic contact and site information. This information shall include, but is not limited to, the following: (A) the name, physical address, notice address (if different), direct telephone number and email address for (i) the permittee and, if different from the permittee, the (ii) site operator, (ii) equipment owner, (iii) site manager and (iv) agent for service of process; (B) the regulatory authorizations held by the permittee and, to the extent applicable, site operator, equipment owner and site manager as may be necessary for the facility’s continued operation; (C) the facility’s site identification number and/or name used by the permittee and, to the extent applicable, site operator, equipment owner and site manager; and (D) a toll-free telephone number to the facility’s network operations center where a live person with power-down control over the facility is available 24 hours-per-day, seven days-per-week.

Indemnification. The permittee and, if applicable, the property owner upon which the wireless facility is installed shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City, City Council and the City’s boards, commissions, agents, officers, officials, employees and volunteers (collectively, the “indemnitees”) from any and all (A) damages, liabilities, injuries, losses, costs and expenses and from any and all claims, demands, law suits, writs and other actions or proceedings (“claims”) brought against the indemnitees to challenge, attack, seek to modify, set aside, void or annul the City’s approval of this permit, and (B) other claims of any kind or form, whether for personal injury, death or property damage, that arise from or in connection with the permittee’s or its agents’, directors’, officers’, employees’, contractors’, subcontractors’, licensees’ or customers’ acts or omissions in connection with this permit or the wireless facility. If the City becomes aware of any claims, the City will use best efforts to promptly notify the permittee and the private property owner (if applicable) and shall reasonably cooperate in the defense. The permittee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the City shall have the right to approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the legal counsel providing the City’s defense, and the property owner and/or permittee (as applicable) shall promptly reimburse the City for any CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY CHAPTER 20.515 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 226 costs and expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the course of the defense. The permittee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the permittee’s indemnification obligations under this condition are a material consideration that motivates the approval authority to approve this permit, and that such indemnification obligations will survive the expiration, revocation or other termination of the WTFPP. 15. Insurance. The permittee shall obtain and maintain throughout the term of the permit a type and amount of insurance as specified by City's risk management. The relevant policy(ies) shall name the City, its elected/appointed officials, commission members, officers, representatives, agents, and employees as additional insured. The permittee shall use its best efforts to provide 30 days prior notice to the Director of to the cancellation or material modification of any applicable insurance policy. 16. Performance Bond. Prior to issuance of a WTFPP, the permittee shall file with the City, and shall maintain in good standing throughout the term of the approval, a performance bond or other surety or another form of security for the removal of the facility in the event that the use is abandoned or the permit expires, or is revoked, or is otherwise terminated. The security shall be in the amount equal to 100 percent of the cost of removal of the facility as specified in the application for the WTFPP, or as that amount may be modified by the Director in in the permit based on the characteristics of the installation. The permittee shall reimburse the City for staff time associated with the processing and tracking of the bond, based on the hourly rate adopted by the City Council. Reimbursement shall be paid when the security is posted and during each administrative review. 17. Record Retention. Throughout the permit term, the permittee must maintain a complete and accurate copy of the written administrative record, which includes without limitation the WTFPP application, the WTFPP, the approved plans and photo simulations incorporated into such approval, all conditions associated with the approval, any ministerial permits or approvals issued in connection with the WTFPP approval and any records, memoranda, documents, papers and other correspondence entered into the public record in connection with the permit (collectively, “records”). If the permittee does not maintain such records as required in this condition, any ambiguities or uncertainties that would be resolved by inspecting the missing records will be construed against the permittee. The permittee shall protect all records from damage from fires, floods and other hazards that may cause deterioration. The permittee may keep records in an electronic format; provided, however, that hard copies or electronic records kept in the City’s regular files will control over any conflicts between such City-controlled copies or records and the permittee’s electronic copies. 18. Permit Revocation. See Section 20.23602.180 160 of this Code (“Revocation Procedure”). 19. Truthful and Accurate Statements. The permittee acknowledges that the City’s approval relies on the written and/or oral statements by permittee and/or persons authorized to act on permittee’s behalf. In any matter before the City in connection with the permit or the wireless facility, neither the permittee nor any person authorized to act on permittee’s behalf shall, in any written or oral statement, intentionally provide material factual information that is incorrect or CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY CHAPTER 20.515 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 227 m isleading or intentionally omit any material information necessary to prevent any material factual statement from being incorrect or misleading.

20. Successors and Assigns. The conditions, covenants, promises and terms contained in this permit will bind and inure to the benefit of the City and permittee and their respective successors and assigns.

21. City’s Standing Reserved. The City’s grant or grant by operation of law of a permit does not waive, and shall not be construed to waive, any standing by the City to challenge any provision in federal or state law or any interpretation thereof.

B. Modified Conditions. The City Council authorizes the Director to modify, add or remove conditions to any permit as the Director deems necessary or appropriate to: (1) protect and/or promote the public health, safety and welfare; (2) tailor the standard conditions listed in Subsection

20.515.120 – Legal Nonconforming Wireless Telecommunications Facilities on Private Property
Legal nonconforming wireless telecommunications facilities are those private property wireless facilities that existed but did not conform to this chapter on the date this chapter became effective and shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 20.20510 (Nonconforming Uses, Structures, and Parcels).

20.515.130 – Special Exceptions for Federal or State Preemption.

A. Preface. The provisions in this section establish a procedure by which the City may grant an exception to the standards in this chapter but only to the extent necessary to avoid conflict with applicable federal or state law. When the applicant requests an exception, the approval authority shall consider the findings in Subsection 20.22515.130(.B) (Findings for an Exception) in addition to the findings required under Subsection 20.22515.080(.A) (Required Findings). Each exception is specific to the facts and circumstances in connection with each application. An exception granted in one instance shall not be deemed to create a presumption or expectation that an exception will be granted in any other instance.

B. Findings for an Exception. The approval authority may grant an exception to any provision or requirement in this chapter only if the approval authority finds that a denial based on the application’s noncompliance with a specific provision or requirement would violate federal law, state law, or both.

C. Scope of Exception. If the approval authority finds that an exception should be granted, the exception shall be narrowly tailored so that the exception deviates from this chapter to least extent necessary for compliance with federal or state law.

D. Burden of Proof. The applicant shall have the burden to prove to the approval authority that an exception should be granted pursuant to this section. The standard of evidence shall be the same as CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY CHAPTER 20.515 Series 500 - Additional Use and Development Regulations Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 500 – Page 228 required by applicable federal or state law for the issue raised in the applicant’s request for an exception.” Table of Contents

20.603.120 –20.603.130 – Procedures for SB 330 Applications for Housing Developments A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to specify how the City will implement streamlined review procedures and establish vested rights for qualifying housing developments, including mixed-use projects, pursuant to Senate Bill 330 (SB 330), the Housing Crisis Act of 2019.

B. Applicability.

1. This section applies to qualifying housing development projects as defined by California Government Code Section 65589.5(h)(2), including multi-family development, mixed use projects with at least two-thirds of the building area devoted to residential uses, and/or transitional and supportive housing.

2. This section shall remain in effect for the same time period as provisions contained in the California Government Code Section 65589.5 (Housing Accountability Act). Any provisions that are not extended by the State Legislature shall be repealed as of the date those provisions in the Housing Accountability Act are deemed null and void.

3. This section provides additional procedures that shall be followed for qualifying housing development projects. If conflicts occur between other permitting and approval procedures in this title and the procedures of this section, this section shall control.

C. Definitions. Terms defined in California Government Code Section 65589.5 shall apply to this Section and shall control in the event of a conflict between definitions in this title and definitions in California Government Code Section 65589.5.

D. Application Filing.

1. To receive the vested rights and benefit from the streamlining established for SB 330 applications, the applicant may initiate the process by filing a preliminary application consistent with Government Code Section 65941.1.
a. A preliminary application shall be filed on the City’s application form. b. Within 180 calendar days after submitting a preliminary application, an applicant shall submit a full application for the housing development.

2. An applicant may file a Formal Application for a zoning clearance, administrative approval, or site approval, whichever may be required, for a qualifying housing development without filing a preliminary application. The Full Application shall be filed on a form provided by the City of Chino accompanied by the required fee. Complete Building Permit applications for a qualifying housing project shall be submitted concurrently with the Full Application.

Series 600 – Administration and Permits Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 600 – Page 55
E. Compliance Review.

1. Scope of Review.
a. A qualifying housing development for which a Preliminary Application was submitted shall only be subject to the ordinances, policies, and objective standards adopted and in effect when the Preliminary Application is submitted, except in the following circumstances:
i. A fee, charge, or other monetary exaction increase resulting from an automatic annual adjustment based on an independently published cost index establishing the fee or monetary exaction.
ii. A preponderance of the evidence in the record establishes that subjecting the housing development to an ordinance, policy, or standard beyond those in effect when the preliminary application was submitted is necessary to mitigate or avoid a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety, and there is no feasible alternative method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the adverse impact. iii. Subjecting the housing development to an ordinance, policy, standard, or any other measure, beyond those in effect when the preliminary application was submitted is necessary to avoid or substantially lessen an impact consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act.
iv. The housing development has not commenced construction within 2.5 years following the date of the housing development’s final approval (as defined in California Government Code Section 65589.5(o)(1)(D)).
v. The number of residential units or square footage of construction proposed changes by 20 percent or more, exclusive of any increase resulting from a density bonus, incentive, concession, waiver, or similar provision. b. When no Preliminary Application was submitted, a housing development shall be subject to objective standards in effect when the Full Application was deemed complete.

2. Review Timeframes.
a. Formal Applications for qualifying housing development containing 150 or fewer units shall be reviewed for compliance with applicable objective standards within 30 calendar days of being deemed complete.
b. Formal Applications for qualifying housing development containing more than 150 units shall be reviewed for compliance with applicable objective standards within 60 calendar days of being deemed complete.
c. The Director of Development Services shall be the Review Authority consistent with the City of Chino’s permitting procedures for the Formal Application.

3. Compliance Determination.
a. In the compliance review of a Formal Application, the Review Authority shall identify the specific objective standard(s) that the project does not comply with, if any, and provide an

CHINO ZONING CODE UPDATE

SPECIFIC PROCEDURES FOR APPROVALS AND PERMITS CHAPTER 20.603

Series 600 – Administration and Permits Redline Amendments May 20, 2026 Series 600 – Page 56
explanation of the reason(s) why the housing development is considered to be inconsistent or non-compliant with identified provisions, and shall provide the written determination to the applicant and to the Planning Commission. The review timeframes of paragraph (2), above, apply to the compliance review.
b. A qualifying housing development is considered in compliance with this Zoning Code, and shall not require a Zoning Map Amendment, if the housing development complies with the General Plan’s objective development standards and land use designations, but the zoning for the housing development site is inconsistent with the General Plan Land Use Diagram.
c. If a qualifying housing development complies with all of the applicable objective zoning, design, and subdivision standards, the City shall not conduct more than five public hearings (including continuances), workshops, study sessions, or similar meetings after the full application is deemed complete in connection with the approval of the housing development. This limitation is established by California Government Code Section 65905.5. Meetings required by CEQA are exempt from the limit.

F. Findings and Decision

1. If the proposed housing development complies with applicable General Plan, specific plan, zoning, design, and subdivision standards, the Review Authority may only deny the housing development or conditionally approve the housing development at a lower density if it makes written findings supported by a preponderance of the evidence in the record that:
a. The housing development would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety unless the housing development is denied or conditionally approved at a lower density. A "specific, adverse impact" means a "significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date that the project was deemed complete;" and b. There is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the adverse impact other than the denial of the housing development or conditional approval of the housing development at a lower density.

2. If the housing development includes 20 percent of units affordable to very low or low- income households, 100 percent of units affordable or moderate- or middle-income households, or an emergency shelter, the Review Authority shall approve the housing development unless the Commission makes written findings supported by a preponderance of the evidence in the record, as to at least one of the findings in California Government Code Section 65589.5(d).

3. The City shall approve or deny the housing development within the applicable time periods established in California Government Code Section 65950 and related sections.

4. Post-Decision Procedures. The City’s post-decision procedures for the required permit based on the Formal Application shall be those procedures in California Government Code Section 65589.5.
