CITY OF CHINO
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JULY 21, 2020
TO: MATTHEW C. BALLANTYNE, CITY MANAGER
FROM: NICHOLAS S. LIGUORI, AICP, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR SUBJECT: CHINO DEVELOPMENT PRESERVE CORPORATION BLOCK 4 PROJECT - FINAL TRACT MAP NO. 20164.
RECOMMENDATION
1) Approve Covenant Agreement for Prepayment of Development Impact Fees; 2) approve Tract Map No. 20164; 2) approve the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and securities with Chino Preserve Development Corporation ( CPDC); 3) approve a reimbursement agreement with CPDC for public improvements related to Tract Map No. 20164 for a not to exceed amount of $ 630,878; and 4) and authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents on behalf of the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
The prepayment of Development Impact Fees will adhere to the requirements set forth in the Covenant Agreement which are contingent upon the issuance of building permits, which will provide working capital for the current design and permitting activities the City is undertaking.
DIF credits issued to the developer through the duration of the project will be deducted from the actual project costs once the final cost accountinghas been reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. Upon the final acceptance of the public improvements by the City Council, staff will continue to monitor the fund balance in the appropriate Development Impact Fee Fund and begin making progress payments to the developer until the terms of the Credit/Reimbursement Agreement are fulfilled. Each progress payment will require an appropriation of funds and therefore, each payment will be brought back to the City Council for approval. These arrangements result in no net impact to the General Fund.

may be a possibility that the eligible costs approved by the City Engineer exceed the original estimate. If that is the case, City staff may include the updated costs for the project in an annual update to the Nexus Report. Additionally, once the final cost accounting is approved, staff will bring back to the City Council an action to appropriate funds to make progress payments to the Developer until the terms of the agreement are fulfilled.
The recommended action includes approval of a Covenant Agreement for Prepayment of Development Impact Fees. The terms of that agreement allow the developer to prepay the DIFs for Storm Drainage Collection System Facilities and Circulation ( streets, signals and bridges) and lock in those DIF amounts applicable at the time of payment rather than at the time typically due when securing building permits for the residential units, with no deadline for the developer to construct the applicable units. In exchange, the City receives the up front payments and can begin to use such funds for purposes consistent with the Report rather than await future payment.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2026
TITLE: AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO UNITED STORM WATER, INC. FOR CATCH BASIN TRASH CAPTURE RETROFIT (SD231).
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
On April 7, 2015, the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted statewide Trash Provisions to address the impacts of trash pollution on surface waters. The Trash Provisions establish a statewide water quality objective for eliminating trash and mandate a consistent statewide approach to ensure “no trash in state waters” as an effort to reduce environmental and public health impacts associated with trash pollution. Since Trash Provisions have not yet been implemented through the San Bernardino County Municipal Separate System Storm Sewer (MS4) Permit, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) has imposed the initial steps of the Trash Provisions through a Trash Order in accordance with Water Code Section 13383, and as further authorized b y Clean Water Act Section 308(a) and 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 122.41(h). To comply with the Trash Order, the City of Chino has opted to implement a Full Capture System under Compliance Track 1. Compliance Track 1 mandates that each stormwater di scharger must implement Full Capture Systems from its Priority Land Use Areas by no later than December 2, 2030.
On September 21, 2021, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with CASC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. to assist in developing an implementation plan to meet the final compliance deadline. Through this effort, CASC and the City identifie d all catch basins within Priority Land Use Areas requiring Full Capture Systems to be installed by December 2, 2030. Project SD231 is the first phase of a multi -phase approach to meet the implementation schedule.
The SD231 project will undertake install ation of Full Capture Systems receiving runoff from approximately one quarter (or 25%) of the Priority Land Use Areas of the City. The project includes work within 274 catch basins that have the potential to capture runoff from land uses generating higher trash loads. Staff included this grouping of catch basins in the project due to their proximity to each other, allowing for economies of scale and more competitive bid pricing.
The project scope includes pressure washing and vacuuming existing catch basins , followed by retrofitting with trash-filtering connector pipe screens internal to the storm capture system. The connector pipe screen systems selected for this project are on the SWRCB’s certified treatment control device list. The City will continue to implement subsequent Full Capture System projects prior to the compliance deadline.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
On July 13, 2026, the City issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB No. 2026 -0020) “SD231 – Catch Basin Trash Capture Retrofit” via PlanetBids, in accordance with the City’s procurement policies and Public Contract Code. On August 6, 2026, the City received three (3) bids. The results were as follows:
No. Contractor Bid Amount
1 United Storm Water, Inc. $263,452
2 G2 Construction $320,838
3 Downstream Services, Inc. $547,121
United Storm Water, Inc. was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Staff recommends the City Council award a construction contract for $263,452 to United Storm Water, Inc. for 479
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2026
TITLE: AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO UNITED STORM WATER, INC. FOR CATCH BASIN TRASH CAPTURE RETROFIT (SD231).
PAGE: 3
SD231. Staff also recommend that the City Coun cil authorize up to $26,345 (10% of the contract amount) for construction contingencies as allowable per Public Contract Code. Staff reviewed the Contractor’s licensing, bonding, references, and list of subcontractors submitted for the project and found al l bid submittal documentation to be in order. The estimated project construction costs are itemized below:
Project Task Vendor Total
Construction United Storm Water, Inc. $263,452
10% Construction Contingency As allowable per the Public Contract Code $26,345 Inspection Overtime City Staff $5,000
Total Estimated Construction Costs: $294,797
Environmental
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) according to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines - Existing Facilities, which includes the operation, repair, and maintenance of highways, streets, sidewalks, gutters, and other similar facilities. This project consists of minor alterations to existing storm drain facilities with no expansion of use. A Notice of Ex emption has been filed with the CEQA clearinghouse and San Bernardino County Clerk Recorder’s Office prior to the advertisement for bids
Accessibility
City staff evaluated if the project scope would impact accessibility in the public right of way. The project scope will retrofit subterranean storm drain systems with trash capturing devices without adjusting the exterior of the catch basin. Temporary traffic control will be in place to maintain public access routes around the work zone during construction a nd no accessibility improvements are required as part of this project.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2026
TITLE: AWARD A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH 10 -8 RETROFIT, INC.
FOR POLICE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION, FLEET CHANGEOVERS & MAINTENANCE SERVICES.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Fleet Division is responsible for overseeing the purchase, maintenance, repair, and replacement of approximately 500 Citywide fleet vehicles and equipment, including the installation and maintenance of specialized after -market equipment required for Police Department and other City vehicles.
Each fiscal year, approximately 20 vehicles are scheduled for replacement as part of the City’s vehicle replacement program. In addition, vehicles approved in prior fiscal years may carry over into subsequent years due to manufacturing and delivery timelines, and new vehicles may be added to the fleet based on approved operational needs.
Prior to being placed into service, certain vehicles require specialized outfitting, including the installation or transfer of emergency lighting, radios, consoles, electrical components, and other vehicle-specific equipment. Histori cally, the City has utilized qualified contractors to perform specialized vehicle outfitting, fleet changeovers, and related maintenance services.
Contracting these specialized services allows Fleet Division staff to continue addressing routine maintenance and repair demands while providing the additional technical resources necessary to complete vehicle outfitting safely and efficiently. Although the majority of specialized outfitting is associated with Police Department vehicles, the services may also b e utilized for other City vehicles requiring radios, lighting, or other specialized equipment.
To ensure continued availability of these services, the City issued a competitive Request for Proposals for Police Vehicle Equipment Installation, Fleet Changeov ers & Maintenance Services.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
On June 4, 2026, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP No. 2026-0017) for "Police Vehicle Equipment Installation, Fleet Changeovers & Maintenance Services" via PlanetBids, in accordance with City procurement policies. The City received five (5) proposals by the closing date of July 2, 2026.
A review committee, consisting of City staff, evaluated proposals separately to maintain confidentiality and fairness. Staff then sco red these proposals using the following weighted criteria:
Experience/Qualifications: 25%
Past Performance/References: 25%
Plan Methodology/Project Approach: 20%
Quality and Responsiveness of Proposal: 15%
Cost Evaluation: 15%
While cost is considered in the evaluation process, selection is not based solely on price.
Instead, the City emphasizes overall qualifications, demonstrated performance, technical capability, and responsiveness to ensure the selected contractor can provid e reliable, high - quality fleet services that meet the City's operational needs and maintenance standards.
Following evaluation, 10-8 Retrofit, Inc. received the highest average score and is recommended for contract award.

4 Vector Fleet Management, LLC
5 Code 3 Outfitters
The proposed agreement establishes an annual not-to-exceed amount of $659,350 based on anticipated annual fleet outfitting, maintenance, rollover vehicles, and new fleet addition needs.
The estimated annual contract allocation is summarized below:
Service Category Estimated Annual Amount
Outfitting of vehicles included in the Annual Vehicle
Replacement Schedule $234,350
Maintenance & repairs for specialized equipment installed on existing fleet vehicles $50,000
Outfitting of replacement vehicles approved in prior fiscal years but received in a subsequent fiscal year $225,000 Outfitting associated with approved new additions to the City fleet $150,000
Total Estimated Annual Amount $659,350
The annual amount accounts for scheduled vehicle replacements, vehicles carried over from prior fiscal years due to production and delivery timelines, newly approved fleet additions, and maintenance of specialized equipment installed on existing vehicles. Based on the annual not - to-exceed amount of $659,350, total compensation for the initial five -year term is not to exceed $3,296,750.
Staff recommends that the City Council award a Professional Services Agreement with 10-8 Retrofit, Inc. for Police Vehicle Equipment Installation, Fleet Changeovers & Maintenance Services for a five-year term from FY2026-27 through FY2030-31 in the amount of $3,296,750, with the option to renew the agreement for up to two additional years.

BACKGROUND
The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) administers Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 Program funds, which support eligible pedestrian and bicycle improvement projects throughout the County. Cities must submit project -specific applications to qualify for funding. In August 2025, City staff submitted a TDA Article 3 grant application to SBCTA to fund the design of Benson Avenue Safe Routes to School Improvements (ST262).
On November 5, 2025, SBCTA Board of Directors approved funding in the amount of $44,850 from the TDA Article 3 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Program for the Project which required a local match of $20,150.
On February 3, 2026, City Council accepted th e grant in the amount of $44,850 to help offset design costs associated with this project and allocate the local match contribution of $20,150.
Additionally, Resolution No. 2026 -011 was established and adopted in adherence to grant guidelines for cost reimbursements.
Consistent with grant guidelines, the project aims to enhance pedestrian access by adding ADA compliant curb ramps along Benson Avenue from Chino Avenue to Riverside Drive. These improvements align with the City’s 2016 Chino Bicycle and Pedest rian Master Plan as this residential neighborhood is in proximity to Chino High School and Allegiance STEAM Academy.
City staff received letters of support from residents for establishment of this project, which were included as part of the accepted grant application.
The project represents a critical investment in pedestrian safety and improved ADA accessibility, strengthening connectivity and safety for residents and students traveling through this area. These improvements support the goals of the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan by enhancing safe and accessible routes in areas with significant student and pedestrian activity.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
On June 18, 2026, the City issued a formal Request for Proposals (RFP No. 2026 -0018) for “Design Serv ices for Benson Avenue Safe Routes to School Improvements – Project No.
ST262”. The City received nineteen (19) proposals by the closing date of July 16, 2026. The proposals were evaluated and ranked based on the following criteria:

Accessibility
The project scop e for ST262 impacts the public’s access -to and alters the public’s usability of the pedestrian facilities at four (4) intersections as its primary intent is to improve these facilities.
A separate capital improvement project (SN221), currently in design , will reconstruct the two alleys that intersect Benson Avenue between B Street and D Street and upgrade their alley approaches to ADA compliance. The alley project is anticipated to begin construction, prior to or concurrently with, ST262 to ensure the entire route of access is captured for improvements.

HR Green will provide professional civil engineering design services for the Benson Avenue Safe Routes to School Improvements project located along Benson Avenue from B Street to Chino Avenue in accordance with the City’s requested scope of work. Engineering design services will include review of available background information, utility research and base mapping, topographic and design survey, Right-of-Way verification, preparation of plans and specifications, engineer’s quantity takeoffs and cost estimates, bidding assistance, meetings, and related project coordination necessary to prepare a complete PS&E bid package for ADA improvements within the project limits. All work will be completed in accordance with applicable City standards, the City’s Accessibility Policy, and the contract document requirements identified in the RFP .
UNDERSTANDING OF THE CITY’S NEEDS
The City of Chino has secured TDA Article 3 funding and the local match to improve pedestrian access along Benson Avenue from B Street to Chino Avenue. The project will enhance accessibility and safety at four intersections and supports the City’s 2016 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, as well as broader Safe Routes to School objectives.
The primary scope includes the design of 14 curb ramps across the four intersections, along with associated signing and striping improvements. A successful project will require strong technical expertise in ADA-compliant curb ramp design, familiarity with City of Chino standards, and practical experience identifying constructability issues before final bid document submittal. Our prior design work with the City has provided valuable lessons learned that will help streamline review, reduce field conflicts, and support a successful construction phase.
TECHNICAL APPROACH AND METHODS
HR Green understands that Benson Avenue is designated as a secondary arterial in the City’s General Plan Circulation Element and is also identified as a Class III bike route. The corridor supports Safe Routes to School connectivity, serving two nearby schools within a predominantly residential area. The roadway currently provides one travel lane in each direction with on-street parking on both sides and a posted speed limit of 35 or 40 mph. Because the corridor is relatively straight with wide lanes, 85th percentile vehicle speed may exceed the comfortable operating environment for pedestrians and bicyclists.
The proposed intersection improvements will enhance pedestrian accessibility and will also support future traffic calming and speed management strategies to improve safety for students, pedestrians, bicyclists, and other roadway users.
The project limits include four intersections: two minor-street stop-controlled intersections and two all-way stop-controlled intersections. Curb ramp designs will comply with the California Highway Design Manual, applicable ADA requirements, including PROWAG, and City of Chino standards. Signing and striping improvements will be developed in accordance with the latest 2026 California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD). High-visibility continental-style crosswalks are anticipated for all proposed pedestrian crossings.
For curb ramp design, a critical early task will be confirming right-of-way limits and ensuring that proposed improvements remain within public property. Where available space is constrained, alternative design concepts—such as curb extensions, bulb-outs, or modified ramp configurations—may need to be evaluated and presented to the City for consideration.
Although Benson Avenue is not designated as a truck route, curb return radii should be evaluated to ensure adequate accommodation for emergency vehicles, particularly at the Benson Avenue and Chino Avenue intersection as Chino Ave is designated as a truck route in the City.
Potential utility conflicts should be identified early in the design process. Based on our initial field review, existing fire hydrants and other utility facilities may require coordination, adjustment, or avoidance during curb ramp layout and construction planning. A-2

SCOPE OF SERVICES
559
Drainage will be an important consideration for all intersection and driveway improvement designs. Because Benson Avenue has relatively flat grades, drainage condition needs to be confirmed so that proposed improvements will not create ponding or standing water at curb ramps, crosswalks, intersections, or adjacent driveways.
BENCHMARKS FOR PERFORMANCE
Performance will be measured by the team’s ability to deliver a complete, constructible, and standards-compliant design package that meets the City’s schedule, minimizes right-of-way and utility conflicts, and supports safe pedestrian access along the corridor. Key benchmarks include timely completion of field verification, early identification of design constraints, clear coordination with City staff, and preparation of bid-ready plans, specifications, and estimates.
INNOVATION SUGGESTIONS
HR Green understands that the challenging intersection at Benson Avenue and Chino Avenue calls for innovative thinking to create a solution that addresses all the potential issues. The skewed intersection carries high turning volumes that may create conflicts with pedestrian and bicycle crossings. The southwest corner currently lacks sidewalk and curb ramp facilities; therefore, a crosswalk should not be directed to that corner during this design phase. We recommend evaluating a median refuge concept to shorten pedestrian crossing distance, improve visibility, and provide a protected waiting area for pedestrians crossing the wider intersection. The exhibit below illustrates HR Green’s proposed design concept for the intersection of Benson Avenue and Chino Avenue for further discussion with the City.

Work Plan
Task 1 - Project Management
HR Green will provide overall project management and internal coordination necessary to successfully deliver the City’s requested scope of services. This effort will include management of scope, schedule, budget, subconsultant coordination, internal team communication, milestone planning, ongoing coordination and progress reports with City staff throughout the duration of the assignment. Our Project Manager, Chase Keys, PE, has previously managed several design projects for the City of Chino, will serve as the primary point of contact for the City, and be responsible for tracking progress, managing action items, coordinating discipline leads, and maintaining alignment between the technical work, schedule, and City expectations. This task is intended to support timely delivery, responsive communication, and consistent service quality throughout design.
Task 1a. Working Schedule
We will develop a project delivery schedule to support the City's objective of completing design in time to advertise the project for construction during Summer 2027 in order to minimize impacts to the nearby schools. This management effort will be structured to support clear accountability and efficient project delivery. The schedule will be presented at the kick-off meeting and will identify key milestones, critical deliverables and identify City review time. We will proactively identify any issues that may affect scope, schedule, cost, or design development and present solutions to these potential challenges.
Task 1b. Meetings
The Project Manager will lead the formal meetings anticipated during the design phase of the project. The RFP identifies six coordination meetings, of which two will be held in the field and four may be held virtually. These meetings will be used to review design progress, confirm direction, discuss comments, and maintain coordination among the City, the consultant team, and supporting disciplines.
Anticipated meetings will include the Project Kick-off, a Community meeting to discuss concepts, a 30% Design Review Meeting, a 60% Design Review Meeting, a 90% Design Review Meeting, and Final Design Review Meeting. We will prepare an agenda for each meeting, present key design issues and recommendations, document action items, and incorporate City direction into subsequent work. Those progress meetings will be conducted through MS Teams unless another means is requested by the City. Additional coordination with City staff via telephone, email, or virtual meetings will be conducted as needed to maintain project momentum and promptly resolve technical issues.
Task 1c. Progress Reporting
The Project Manager will provide ongoing project supervision and monitor the design for conformance with the City’s standards, policies and procedures. We will maintain regular communication with the City's Project Manager to discuss project status, identify potential concerns, and obtain timely direction necessary to maintain project progress. These activities will be summarized in a monthly progress report and provided to the City along with monthly invoices.
Task 1d. Schematic Exhibits
HR Green will prepare exhibits showing specific impacts to individual properties on an as needed basis. The exhibits will illustrate proposed improvements, anticipated right-of-way impacts, access modifications, utility conflicts, grading concepts, temporary construction impacts, and property-specific improvements, as appropriate. Individual property exhibits will be prepared when necessary to support discussions with affected property owners or stakeholders.
Benson Avenue at C Street

Task 1e. Quality Control/Assurance Measures
HR Green will implement a formal quality assurance and quality control process for each design milestone to help verify that all submittals are complete, coordinated, and ready for City review. This process will include internal interdisciplinary review of plans, details, specifications, quantities, and estimates to verify technical accuracy, consistency between documents, constructability, and alignment with the City’s standards and project requirements. Quality review will be completed prior to each submittal so that comments can be addressed internally before the package is delivered to the City.
Our QA/QC process will also include review of coordination between curb design, utility information, adherence to the City’s Accessibility Policy and bid item development.
Particular attention will be given to consistency between plan sheets, notes, special provisions, technical specifications, and engineer’s estimates so that the final package is clear, biddable, and defensible. This effort is intended to reduce omissions, minimize conflicting information between contract documents, and improve the overall quality and readiness of each submittal.
Deliverables: Meeting agendas, minutes and handouts. Detailed Working Schedule and updates. Monthly status updates, invoices and certified payroll. Schematic exhibits as needed.
Task 2. As-Built Research, Investigation, and Review
We will review existing City standards, the City’s Policy on Accessible Pedestrian Facilities, available as-builts and record drawings, relevant operations and maintenance documents, and GIS information to ensure all available background information and applicable requirements are incorporated into the design. The City will provide available as-built records for City-owned facilities, including the roadway itself, water, sewer, and storm drain infrastructure, and our team will use this information to establish the initial design base and identify locations requiring further field confirmation or coordination.
During this task, we will meet with City staff to review available records, confirm known field conditions, discuss prior maintenance or operational concerns, and incorporate City suggestions, recommendations, directions, and other project- specific requirements into the design process. This early coordination will be used to confirm design assumptions, identify key issues that may influence curb ramp improvements, and establish the framework for utility verification and subsequent design development.
Additionally, we will perform a preliminary review of existing right-of-way to identify locations where limited space is available for construction of ADA compliant curb ramps. HR Green will provide title reports for up to eleven (11) affected properties to verify limits of right-of-way, easements, access rights, and other recorded property interests that may influence project design. Findings will be incorporated into the design development process to minimize future conflicts and support development of feasible ADA compliant ramps.
Deliverables: 11 Title Reports for properties with limited space for curb ramp improvements. Complete AutoCAD base mapping of City owned utilities.
Task 3. Utility Research and Notification
At the 30%, 60%, and 90% design stages, we will prepare utility notification materials for City distribution and maintain a record of utility notifications including contact information, dates of transmittal and responses from utility owners. We will research available utility records and identify all known utilities within the intersection limits identified in the City’s Attachment D - Project Location Map. Information obtained through record research will be summarized in the project utility base map and used to review potential utility conflicts.
Concurrent with the 30% design phase, we will perform a preliminary utility investigation that provides the critical information needed to advance design while maximizing value for the City’s budget. This effort includes developing a composite utility map using available utility record drawings, information provided by utility owners, and utility field marking documentation.
Benson Avenue at B Street
A-5
562
We will compare the field marked utilities with the record utility map to identify major discrepancies and potential utility conflicts that could affect our design. By focusing on significant issues at this stage, rather than conducting a comprehensive utility investigation prematurely, the City receives the information necessary to make informed design decisions while avoiding unnecessary costs and reserving more detailed investigations for when they provide the greatest benefit to the project.
We will submit a DigAlert request for field marking of underground utilities within the project limits and document the field markings while they remain visible. As described in the RFP, this documentation shall include aerial imagery of the project limits to capture and preserve utility markings for design use. We will use this information to prepare a field utility marking map and compare it with the record-based utility map.
Following completion of the record and field utility mapping, we will overlay the datasets to identify discrepancies between record information and field markings. We will evaluate those discrepancies and identify locations where further investigation may be warranted.
Deliverables: Utility Notification Letters for the 30%, 60%, and 90% stages. Utility Matrix indicating utility company correspondence and responses. Updated AutoCAD base mapping.
Task 4. Field Survey
Our survey subconsultant, Kelsoe & Associates, will perform the ground survey necessary to determine and establish right of way and document the existing intersection features relevant to design. Survey will locate surface features within the survey area, including but not limited to fire hydrants, valve covers, water meters, sewer and storm drain manholes, utility vaults and facilities, pull boxes, curb and gutter, driveways, sidewalks, power poles, guy wires, signs, parkway areas, streetlights, and street trees larger than 4 inches in diameter.
We will conduct a field walk to identify potential design and construction conflicts and verify field topographic conditions.
Survey will be tied to the City’s required datums, with vertical control based on the most recent City of Chino benchmark elevations in NGVD29 and horizontal control based on NAD83. Survey work will also establish disturbance of any monuments or centerline ties and provide tie sheets for reference attachment to the specifications. All field topography will be collected electronically for processing and incorporation into the design basemap.
Deliverable: Topographic Base Map.
Task 5. Plans and Specifications
We will prepare a bid set for the Benson Avenue Safe Routes to School Improvements Project, including title sheet, general notes, detail sheets (10 or 5 scale), and plan (20-scale) at the 30%, 60%, 90%, and final design phases. Design development will address ADA curb ramp improvements and high visibility crosswalks at the intersections of Benson Avenue at C Street, and Benson Avenue at Chino Avenue, per the City’s Addendum #1. This will include detailed design information for accessible facilities as outlined in the City’s Accessibility Policy.
Our team will evaluate affected pedestrian facilities within the project limits and coordinate accessible design solutions with the City’s Policy on Accessible Pedestrian Facilities and applicable accessibility requirements. This task will support consistent incorporation of accessible routes, curb ramps, transitions, localized sidewalk improvements, and related pedestrian features into the plans and details.
Accessibility coordination will include review of how proposed improvements tie into adjacent existing facilities, identification of potential technical infeasibility issues where applicable, and documentation of design decisions necessary to support compliance to the maximum extent feasible. This effort will help strengthen the overall design package and reduce the likelihood of accessibility-related revisions late in design or during bidding.

Technical specifications will be prepared as part of the construction bid package and will include the technical special provisions section and any specialty work items necessary for the project. The specifications will conform to project requirements and will be based on the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, 2024 Edition, including supplements, together with the City of Chino Standard Plans and Specifications and Construction Bid Item Descriptions.
Specifications will include appendices such as the utility coordination documents relevant to contractor performance, and other project constraints affecting construction. Construction contract documents will be prepared in the City’s format and submitted at the 90% and final stages.
Deliverables: 30% Design Plans, 60% Design Plans, 90% Design Plans and Specifications, and Final Design Plans and Specifications.
Task 6. Engineer’s Quantity and Cost Estimate
We will prepare engineer’s quantity takeoffs, cost estimates, and bidding schedules on City forms for the project. Quantities and bid items will be coordinated with the plans and City specifications and will be based on the latest Greenbook requirements and associated City bid item descriptions.
Deliverable: Engineer’s Estimates included with the 30%, 60%, 90%, and final design submittals.
Task 7. Plan Interpretation and Bidding Assistance
During the bidding phase, we will provide construction plan interpretation and consultation to support the City’s advertisement of the project. This will include review of bidder questions, clarification of drawings and specifications, and support to the City in preparing bid addenda when clarification is necessary.
We will provide responses to requests for information during bidding within two working days of receipt of the RFI, consistent with the requirement stated in the RFP. If any RFI results in a design change during the bidding process, we will incorporate the change into the plans and provide a conformed set.
Deliverables: Responses to bidder questions/RFIs, Bid addenda, conformed set of plans if design changes apply.

TITLE: INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 2026 -012 - EAST CHINO SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT (PL25-0119).
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
On June 17, 2026 , the Planning Commission he ld a public hearing to consider PL25-0119 (Specific Plan Amendment), PL25 -0120 (Site Approval), and PL25 -0121 (Tentative Tract Map No. 20845) for a proposed Project located at 13918 Cypress Avenue. The ECSP was adopted in 1987 to guide the development of the East Chino area as it transitioned from an agricultural/dairy land use to residential and commercial land uses. Throughout the years, the ECSP has been amended to facilitate development within the plan area. While the ECSP is generally built out, there are still some parcels remaining that have not been developed.
The request for approval of a Site Approval (SA) and Tentative Tract Map (TTM) allows the Applicant to subdivide 12.42 acres of land for the development of 55 single -family homes at a density of 4.44 dwelling units per acre within the RD 4.5 Residential (4.5 dwelling units/acre) land use designation of the East Chino Specific Plan (collectively, the “Project”). The Project, as proposed, required an amendment to the ECSP to allow homes to front onto a loop street (Amsterdam Avenue), to allow parking on the loop street (Amsterdam Avenue and Aguerre Street), and to allow a reduced front yard setback for swi ng-in garages. As part of the Project, the applicant has agreed to construct full street improvements along the west side of Cypress Avenue, which include a 5 -foot-wide sidewalk, curb and gutter, parkway landscaping, and streetlights that connect to Ediso n Avenue. Additionally, the applicant will construct sidewalk improvements on the east side of Amsterdam Avenue to connect the sidewalk from Pepperdine Street to the sidewalk being constructed for the Project.
During the public comment period, several residents from the community west of the Project site expressed concerns about traffic, parking, and vehicular access along Amsterdam Avenue. The residents expressed concerns that residents and guests of the 10 homes proposed to front onto Amsterdam Avenue could park on Dalton Street. Residents also expressed concern that personal vehicles and delivery trucks parked along Amsterdam Avenue could obstruct the roadway and impede vehicular access . In response to the se concerns, the Planning Commission asked the Applicant whether the 10 homes proposed to front onto Amsterdam Avenue could instead be reoriented to front onto Cypress Avenue. The Applicant indicated that the reconfiguration would not be feasible. The Planning Commission vot ed 5-1 to c ontinue the item and directed the Applicant to work with staff to further evaluate the alternative configuration and provide an analysis identifying the feasibility constraints associated with replotting the 10 homes to front onto Cypress Avenue.
Following the Planning Commission meeting, the Applicant evaluated the feasibility of replotting the 10 homes to front onto Cypress Avenue. An alternative technical site plan and conceptual utility plan were submitted for staff review. Concurrently, members of the adjacent community developed an alternative site plan to address their parking and access concerns in the event the homes could not be plotted to front onto Cypress Avenue. The community proposed alternative included widening Amsterdam Avenue to accommodate on-street parking adjacent to the 10 homes while reducing lot depths for those 10 lots. Amsterdam Avenue and Aguerre Avenue are both classified as Loop Roads in the ECSP and form a continuous roadway with Amsterdam Avenue ex tending north -south before turning east and continuing as Aguerre Avenue. The proposed widening would extend along both Amsterdam Avenue and Aguerre Avenue.
On July 15, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the continued item. The Applicant presented its analysis of the feasibility of replotting the 10 homes to front onto Cypress Avenue. The analysis determined that the alternative configuration would require significant infrastructure improvements along Cypress Avenue because sewer and storm drain 571

infrastructure do not currently exist along this portion of the roadway . An additional drainage basin would also be required to accommodate storm water flows and the reconfiguration would result in the loss of one residential lot. Based on these physical constraints, the Applicant demonstrated that reorienting the homes to front onto Cypress Avenue was infeasible. As an alternative to address the parking and vehicular access concerns raised by the adjacent community, the Applicant agreed to move forward with the community proposed design to widen the Loop Road and provide on-street parking. However, in order to achieve this roadway widening, a reduction in front yard setback for the units facing Amsterdam Avenue and Aguerre Avenue would be necessary. The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to approve the Site Approval and Tentative Tract Map No. 20845, with the modification to widen Amsterdam Avenue and Aguerre Avenue to accommodate on -street parking, and to recommend that the City Council approve the ECSP Amendment. The Planning Commission staff report is included as Exhibit “A”.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
East Chino Specific Plan Amendment
The ECSP currently prohibits on-street parking and homes from fronting onto streets classified as Loop Roads and requires a minimum front yard setback of 25 (+/ - 5 feet) feet. To facilitate the proposed Project and accommodate the roadway modification approved by the Planning Commission, the Applicant is requesting amendments to the ECSP to allow single-family homes on Lots 26 through 35 to front onto Amsterdam Avenue, allow on-street parking along Amsterdam Avenue and Aguerre Avenue, and permit a reduced minimum front yard setback of 15 feet for homes with a swing-in garages.
The first of the amendments is to allow homes to face onto the loop street, which for this Project would allow for Lots 26 through 35 to face onto Amsterdam Avenue and Aguerre Avenue . In total, 324 parking spaces are proposed, exceeding the requirement of 220 parking spaces. To address the parking and vehicular access concerns raised during the Planning Commission meetings, the applicant is dedicating additional roadway along Amsterdam Avenue and Aguerre Avenue to widen the Loop Road along the Project’s frontage . The additional w idth will accommodate both a bicycle lane and eight on-street parking spaces along Amsterdam Avenue and 15 on -street parking spaces along Aguerre Avenue, for a total of 23 on -street parking spaces. Since the ECSP currently prohibits on -street parking along Loop Roads, the proposed amendment is necessary to implement the roadway and parking configuration approved by the Planning Commission. The reduced front yard setback for homes with swing-in garages allows the Applicant to provide three-car garages, ther eby increasing on -site parking. The swing -in garage configuration also reduce s the visual prominence of garage doors from the street and, together with varied front yard setbacks, provides greater architectural variety within the Project.
The revised Proje ct plans are included as Exhibit “ B” and depict the roadway and on -street parking configuration consistent with the proposed amendment.
The proposed amendments would not change the land use designation or maximum allowable density of the subject property. Rather the amendments would facilitate the development of the 55 single -family homes and accommodate the site and roadway design approved by the Planning Commission. The proposed amendments would be compatible with the surrounding single-family residential neighborhood and would remain consistent with the RD 4.5 land use designation of and applicable development standards. Additionally, this is one of the last parcels of land designated RD4.5 in the ECSP so the proposed amendments would not impact other parcels within the specific plan.

PUBLIC NOTICE
A 10-day notice was mailed to all property owners within a 300 -foot radius of the project site. In addition, a notice was published in the Chino Champion on September 5 , 2026. The notice meets legal noticing requirements. Prior to the posting of the agenda, the City receive d comments from residents in opposition to the project (attached as Exhibit C).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project has been determined to be within the scope of the previously certified 2045 General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 202409083), adopted on September 2, 2025. The EIR adequately describes the envir onmental effects of the proposed project for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. This exemption applies when a project is consistent with the land use designation, development density, and applicable policies established by the City’s General Plan, the East Chino Specific Plan, and underlying zoning, all of which were evaluated in the certified EIR. The proposed amendment to the ECSP modifies residential development standards applicable to the project to reflect the current housing development trends and provides consistency with the Chino Zoning Code requirements. The proposed changes do not change the land use designat ion or maximum allowable density for the subject property thus the 1 5183 exemption is the appropriate environmental document .
Pursuant to Section 15183(b), a focused evaluation of the development was conducted and the analysis concluded that the proposed project would not result in any new or more severe significant environmental impacts beyond those identified in the certified General Plan EIR. The project is also subject to uniformly applicable development policies and mitigation measures identified in the 2045 General Plan Update EIR, which would reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels. Accordingly, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, no additional environmental review is required.
In accordance with SB18, Tribal Consultation was conducted on December 17, 2025. Staff received one response from t he Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians Kizh Nation on January 9, 2026, stating they have no objection at this time.

SUBJECT
PL26-0119 (Specific Plan Amendment), PL25-0120 (Site Approval), and PL25-0121 (Tentative Tract Map No. 20845)
RECOMMENDATION
1) Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2026 -012, recommending the City Council approve PL26-0019 (East Chino Specific Plan Amendment), based on the findings listed in Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2026 -012; 2) Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 2026 -013, approving PL25 -0120 (Site Approval) and PL25 -0121 (Tentative Tract Map No. 20845), based upon the findings and subject to the departmental conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND
On June 17, 2026 the Planning Commission heard PL26 -0119 (Specific Plan Amendment) , PL25-0120 (Site Approval), and PL25 -0121 (Tentative Tract Map No. 20845), a request to subdivide 12.42 acres of land for the development of 55 single -family homes. The request also included an amendment to the E ast Chino Specific Plan to allow homes to front onto Amsterdam Avenue and reduce the front yard setback to allow swing -in garages. At the Planning Commission hearing, staff presented the item with a recommendation for approval.
During the public comment period, the Planning Commission heard testimony from various residents who live in the community west of the project. The residents expressed concerns about traffic, parkin g, and vehicular accessibility on Amsterdam Avenue . For parking, there were concerns that residents and guests of the 10 homes facing Amsterdam Avenue will park on the adjacent street, Dalton Street. Residents also stated that the parking of personal vehicles and temporary package delivery trucks would create a blockage which inhibit s vehicles from driving through Amsterdam Avenue. After the public testimony, the Planning Commission asked the applicant if they were able to flip the site plan and have homes front onto Cypress Avenue instead of Amsterdam Avenue, as presented by the communit y. The change could not be agreed upon at the time of hearing which resulted in t he Planning Commission vot ing 5-1 to continue the item to allow further analysis of the plotting substitution and its feasibility. The applicant has created and reviewed an a lternative vesting map (Exhibit A) and utility plan (Exhibit B) in which homes front onto Cypress Avenue and not Amsterdam Avenue. In drafting a new vesting map with 10 homes facing Cypress Avenue, the applicant found construction issues relating to grading, drainage and utilities as well as an increase in cost for the 1574

construction of the project. For these reasons outlined in this report, the applicant is requesting approval of their original proposal.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The applicant has analyzed the request to flip the site plan, as requested by the Planning Commission and determined this to be infeasible for several reasons , included in the letter from PLC Communities attached as Exhibit “C”. The reasons are discussed in detail below.
Infrastructure Improvements: Sewer and drain utilities currently exist on Amsterdam Avenue and not on the portion of Cypress Avenue where the 10 homes would be fronting. To flip the site plan, it would require over 700 feet of new underground sewer and storm drain lines to be installed to service the 10 homes on Cypress Avenue. A similar extension would be required for dry utilities as well. Additionally, Cypress Avenue does not appear to have enough of a grade change to facilitate a new storm drain line to flow to the water quality treatment basins and underground detention basin located on Amsterdam Avenue. The flip would require a n additional treatment and detention basin on Cypress Avenue, and an outlet to the open Cypress Creek Channel just east of the project site. This would require the applicants to obtain additional permits from the San Bernardino County Flood Control District. The added costs of infrastructure and engineering would add over $1 million to the cost of the project.
Loss of Lots: Flipping the site plan to allow homes to front onto Cypress Avenue will result in a loss of one resulting in 54 lots instead of 55 . As the project is currently designed, along the northern boundary there are currently six homes proposed with four of the six homes single -story. The alternative design with homes fronting onto Cypress Avenue would result in eight homes along the northern boundary. Due to the lot sizes, only three lots would be able to accommodate single-story homes.
The residents who spoke at the June 17 Planning Commission meeting voiced parking concerns for the 10 homes facing Amsterdam Avenue. The residents were concerned that guests of these homes would not have a place to park and would instead park within the neighborhood east of the project, specifically on Dalton Street. Currently the East Chino Specific Plan prohibits parking along loop streets (Amsterdam Avenue). To alleviate the parking concerns, the applicant is requesting an additional amendment to the East Chino Specific Plan to allow parking in front of the 10 homes facing Amsterdam Avenue. The addition of these parking spaces in conjunction with the driveway parking spaces on each lot will help alleviate parking concerns along Dalton Street. If recommended by the Planning Commission, this change will be incorporated into the Ordinance presented to the City Council.

Re: Tentative Map 20845

Planning Commission continuation
Dear Chair
person F
raga
and distinguished members of the Planning Commission
As you are all aware, the motion to approve TTM 20845 was voted on, resulting in a 3 -
3 tie. The commission later voted unanimously to continue the item until July’s planning commission hearing with direction to PLC Communities (applicant) and staff to stu
dy the possibility of “flipping” the site design so 10 homes proposed to front on to Amsterdam would instead front on to Cypress Avenue.
We have spent the past two weeks analyzing the request to flip the site. This includes having our civil engineer plot the new site plan and research
other
constructability issues such as
grading, drainage and utility issues that might
also aris
e
.
Our findings are as follows:
1)
The revised site can only fit 54 lots, resulting in 1 less home.
2)
The current PLC site plan has only six homes backing to the homes on Pepperdine. Four of six of our proposed homes will be single stories. The “flipped” site plan requires eight lots backing to Pepperdine, only three can fit the single
-
story plan.
3)
Sewer and storm
drain utilities are
already located in Amsterdam. The
“flipped” site plan requires
over 700’ of
new
underground sewer and storm
drain to service the proposed 10 homes front Cypress. There would also be a similar extension of dry utilities.
4)
We do not believe there is enough grade change to allow the new storm drain line in Cypress to flow to the
water quality treatment and underground
detention facility located on Amsterdam. Assuming this cannot be engineered, PLC would need to install a
n additional
treatment/detention

BACKGROUND
On September 17, 2025, the Planning Commission approved PL25-0084 (Tentative Parcel Map No. 20988) to subdivide a 9.06 -acre site within East Chino Specific Plan (ECSP) into two parcels. One of the parcels ( 2.84-acres) was conveyed from the Louis Aguerre Family Trust to PLC Communities (the “Applicant”) to facilitate the development of single-family residential. The Applicant is now request ing a Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) to modify development standards within the ECSP to better accommodate the proposed residential project. The requested amendments include allowing reduced front yard setbacks for home s with swing-in garages and permitting lots to front onto Amsterdam Avenue (Loop Street). In conjunction with 1749582

PAGE: 4
the SPA, the Applicant is also requesting approval of a Tentative Tract Map (TTM) and Site Approval (SA) to subdivide approximately 12.42-acres for the development of 55 single-family homes.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
East Chino Specific Plan Amendment
The ESCP currently prohibits homes from fronting on to streets classified as Loop Streets and requires a minimum front yard setback of 25 (+/- 5 feet) feet. The proposed SPA modifies two provisions: 1) allow single-family homes on Lots 26 through 35 to front onto the Amsterdam Avenue, which is classified as a Loop Street ; and 2) permit a reduced minimum front yard setback of 15 feet for homes with a swing -in garages. With this modifica tion, the Applicant is able to propose three-car garage s, thereby increasing on -site parking. Collectively, t hese amendments will enhance the visual character of the neighborhood by providing a more interesting street scene and greater architectural variety through varied front yard setbacks. The proposed changes are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and would not result in adverse impacts. The SPA does not change the land use designation or maximum allowable density for the subject property and would be consistent with the RD 4.5 development standards in the City of Chino’s Zoning Code.
Site Plan
The project site is located on the west side of Cypress Aven ue, north of the Southern California Edison (SCE) easement and consists of 55 single-family homes on 12.42 adjusted gross acres of land at a density of 4.4 units/acre in the RD 4.5 Residential land use designation of the ECSP. Access to the site is provide d from Cypress Avenue and Amsterdam Avenue . The homes are a typical single-family layout with garage access provided from internal streets and typical rear yard areas for each home. Garages are plotted at varying depths that range from 15 feet to 25 feet to provide an undulating street scene. Side-on configurations for Lots 36 through 39 are proposed along Amsterdam Avenue and will be accessed via shared driveways.
Project statistics are as follows:

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project has been determined to be within the scope of the previously certified 2045 G eneral Plan Update Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 202409083), adopted on September 2, 2025. The EIR adequately describes the environmental effects of the proposed project for th e purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. The proposed project is consistent with the land use designation, development density, and applicable policies established by the City’s General Plan, the East Chino Specific Plan, and underlying zoning, all of which were evaluated in the certified EIR. Pursuant to Section 15183(b), a focused evaluation of the development was conducted and the analysis concluded that the proposed project would not result in any new or more severe significant environmental impacts beyond those identified in the certified General Plan EIR. The project is also subject to uniformly applicable development policies and mitigation measures identified in the 2045 General Plan Update EIR, which would reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels. Accordingly, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, no additional environmental review is required.

AN AMENDMENT TO THE EAST CHINO SPECIFIC PLAN TO ALLOW
HOMES TO FRONT ONTO LOOP STREETS AND PERMIT A
REDUCED FRONT YARD SETBACK OF 15 FEET FOR HOMES WITH
SWING-IN GARAGES IN THE RD 4.5 LAND USE DESIGNATION.
WHEREAS, the City of Chino (the “City”) adopted The East Chino Specific Plan (The “ECSP”) on March 3, 1987; and
WHEREAS, the City, in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), certified the East Chino Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 86060909) originally certified on February 17, 1987, which serves a s the foundation document for the environmental review pursuant to CEQA Section 21166 and Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, PLC Communities (the “Applicant”), has filed an application with the City of Chino (the “City”) for approval of PL25-0119 (Specific Plan Amendment) to amend the East Chino Specific Plan to allow home s to front onto loop streets and permit a reduced front yard setback of 15 feet for homes with swing-in garages in the RD 4.5 land use designation, as outlines in the d raft City Council resolution attached as Exhibit “A” ; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Project is the 26th specific plan amendment since East Chino Specific Plan was approved in 1987; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Chino has completed its study of the proposed Project; and
WHEREAS, on June 17, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing for PL25 -0119 (East Chino Specific Plan Amendment) in compliance with law, entertained the written and oral report o f staff, took public testimony on the Project, and recommended that the City Council approve the amendments to the ECSP as outlined in the draft City Council resolution attached as Exhibit “A”.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Chino, California, does hereby FIND, DETERMINE, and RESOLVE as follows:
A. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein.
17914587
RESOLUTION NO. PC2026-012
B. Based on substantial evidence, both written and oral, from the public hearing, the Planning Commission makes the following findings and takes the following actions on PL25-0119 (East Chino Specific Plan Amendment):
1. PL25-0119 (East Chino Specific Plan Amendment)
a. The proposed specific plan or specific plan amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the City’s adopted General Plan as the proposed changes are to allow homes to front onto Loop Streets and permit a reduced front yard setback of 15-feet for homes with swing-in garages located in the RD 4.5 Residential land use designation, both of which will help facilitate development within the East Chino. The two amendments are consistent with General Plan Goal LCC -1 (Balanced Community), which encourages safe and livable neighborhoods. The proposed amendme nts support this goal by providing an enhanced design for future homes in East Chino.
Front-on units allow for more architectural enhancements to be publicly visible than side -on and rear configured homes. In addition, front -on configurations create better visibility, create fewer hidden areas, and give residents the ability to better observe public spaces which create a safer neighborhood. Reduced setbacks for swing-in garages can foster single - family home designs which incorporate 3 -car garages. Three car garages can reduce the reliance of residents requiring additional street parking, making neighborhoods more livable. The amendments are also consistent with General Plan Goal INF -4 (Connected City), which promotes safe and convenient connections between neighborhoods and destinations for pedestrians, cyclists and transit users. The proposed front-on units along loop streets will still allow for pedestrian-oriented design features, including sidewalks, parkways and connectivity. The proposed amend ments are consistent with the goals, policies, and implementation measures of the General Plan.
b. The proposed specific plan or specific plan amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City, as it will facilitate the development of single -family residential homes with attractive designs and safer neighborhoods.
c. The proposed specific plan or specific plan amendment will maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City, as the proposed changes to the specific plan do not include any land use changes or changes in residential densities within the ECSP.
d. In the case of an amendment to a specific plan land use map, the subject site is physically suitable, i ncluding but not limited to parcel size, shape, access, availability of utilities and compatibility with adjoining uses for the requested land use designation and anticipated development. The proposed changes to the specific plan do not include any land use changes. 18015588

2. CEQA Findings The proposed project has been determined to be within the scope of the previously certified 2045 General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 202409083), adopted on September 2, 2025. The EIR adequately describes the environmental effects of the proposed project for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. The proposed project is consistent with the land use designation, development density, and applicable policies established by the City’s General Plan, the East Chino Specific Plan, and underlying zoning, all of which were evaluated in the certified EIR. Pursuant to Section 15183(b), a focused evaluation of the development was conducted and the analysis concluded that the proposed project would not result in any new or more severe significant environmental impacts beyond those identified in the certified General Plan EIR.
The project is also subject to uniformly applicable develop ment policies and mitigation measures identified in the 2045 General Plan Update EIR, which would reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels. Accordingly, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, no additional environmental review is required.
