4.4 Sign Regulations
Comprehensive Sign Program
A comprehensive sign program will assure that signs for all land uses within the Colton’s Hub City Centre Specific Plan Amendment (CHCCSP) area are integrated into the overall community vision and theme.

Purpose and Intent
Signage is an important design element of the physical environment and an important aspect of business communication. As a planned architectural feature, a sign can be attractive and harmonize with the physical character of its environment.

The purpose and intent of the sign regulations for the CHCCSP are the same as those identified in the current City Sign Ordinance (Title 18, Chapter 1850).

1. Promote an economically stable and visually attractive community and ensure that the special character and image the City is striving for can be attained.

2. Promote signs and graphics that are attractive, pleasing and harmonized with the physical character of the environment and surrounding properties, while serving the advertising needs of the business community;

3. Promote traffic safety and the smooth and efficient flow of pedestrians and vehicles to their destinations;

4. Direct persons to various activities and enterprises, in order to provide for maximum public convenience.

Authority and Requirements
The sign standards that follow shall apply to all properties located within the CHCCSP project area. The City of Colton Zoning Ordinance, Title 18, Chapter 1850, of the Municipal Code, shall prevail for this section, except as otherwise indicated in the standards that follow. The changes that have been incorporated and modify the current City Ordinance are based on tailoring the signage needs to the CHCCSP area, which as a large master planned mixed use community has

4.0 │ DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
Revised January 2025 4-40
certain unique signage requirements. If there is a discrepancy between the City Zoning Ordinance and the CHCCSP, then the CHCCSP shall take precedence.

A sign permit shall be obtained from the City prior to the construction or installation of all permanent and temporary signs within the CHCCSP project area.

Design Standards for Signage
The design standards set forth in this section shall be adhered to for all signage within The CHCCSP Specific Plan.

Community Monument Signs
Community monument signs as described in Section 6.0 and illustrated in Figures 6-35 through 6-37 establish the community identity at the primary entries into the CHCCSP area and shall be designed and constructed to meet the intent as shown.

They shall be constructed by the developer for each respective planning area in which they occur. Other than within apartment sites, no additional monument signs are permitted within residential planning areas. Additional monument signs are permitted within commercial parcels.

Commercial Parcel Area Signs
Within commercial (non-residential) areas, additional monument signs are permitted for identification of different office, business and retail centers. It is in the interest of both aesthetics and traffic safety that sign information is kept to a minimum. Only the name of the businesses and / or the name of the shopping center shall appear on the sign. The use of subordinate information such as telephone numbers, lists of products, pictures of products, etc., is not permitted.

Example of 20’ tall sign with shopping center, business / merchant names only.

Each sign shall be designed with the intent and purpose of relating to the architectural style of the main building or buildings within each Planning Area.

The sign shall also be compatible with the style or character of signage and development in adjacent planning areas if said signage was approved following adoption of the CHCCSP. Signs located within non-residential planning areas but adjacent to pre- dominantly residential areas shall consider compatibility with such residential area.

Where there is more than one monument sign located within any Planning Area, all such signs shall follow the uniform design standards described in the City Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 18.50, and shall have designs which are well related to each other by the similar treatment including the following six design elements:

Revised January 2025 4-41

1. Type of construction materials as used in the several sign components, such as cabinet, sign copy, supports.

2. Letter style of sign copy.

3. Illumination.

4. Type or method used for supports, uprights or structure on which sign is supported.

5. Sign cabinet or other configuration of sign area.

6. Shape of entire sign and its several components.

Each monument sign shall be located in a planted, landscaped area which is of a shape, design and size that will provide a compatible setting and ground definition to the sign, as determined by the Development Services Director or his / her designee. The planted landscaped area shall be maintained on a reasonable and regular basis. Monument signs shall be nonmoving stationary structures. In all components and illumination (if any) shall be maintained by artificial light (either internally or externally) which is stationary and constant in intensity and color at all times (nonflashing).

All retail, office, and business park uses shall be considered non-residential property as relates to the City Sign Code.

A uniform sign program for all new multi-tenant developments of three or more separate tenants is required for all Retail, Office, and Business Park uses and for residential Planning Areas 25, 26 and 27 within high density uses.

The maximum height of a free standing monument for business park or office uses shall be six feet high (6’) and eight feet (8’) wide. For retail uses less than twenty (20) acres in size, the maximum height shall be six feet (6’) high and twelve feet (12’) wide.

For retail uses twenty (20) acres or greater, the maximum monument sign height shall be twenty feet (20’) high and fifteen feet (15’) wide, similar to dimensions of the sign in the example above on the previous page.

Pylon / freeway signs shall be permitted to exceed fifty feet (50’) in height if approved by the City Planning Commission.

Temporary Community Marketing Signs
For the residential areas, temporary signs for sales and marketing of the master planned community should be provided in a comprehensive sign program.

Signage along perimeter and interior streets that identify the community and each of the new developments, including directional signs and other types of community information shall be submitted for review and approval by the Development Services Director. The duration of the use of the signs shall also be determined by the Development Services Director.

CIRCULATION, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES

5.0 Circulation, Public Facilities and
Services

5.1 Circulation Plan
A major road network is already in place for the Colton’s Hub City Centre Specific Plan Amendment (CHCCSP) project area, providing excellent north / south and east / west vehicular circulation routes. A full interchange also exists at Pepper Avenue and the I-10 Freeway. Road and bridge improvements at the interchange are scheduled to occur in 2014. Based upon a comprehensive traffic study prepared for the CHCCSP project area, the required future road sections and rights-of-way were developed. Refer to the Circulation Plan, Figure 5-1 and corresponding road sections in Figure 5-2. Existing and planned road widths are summarized below.

New road improvements or existing roads that require widening or other improvements shall be a condition of development subject to approval by the City engineer and Development Director.

Pepper Avenue
Pepper Avenue is designated as a Major Arterial. It is currently a major north / south 6-lane divided thoroughfare with a full interchange at the I-10 Freeway.

Most of Pepper Avenue has been fully improved and includes a 17 foot wide raised median. See Figure 5-1 and Street Section A on Figure 5-2. The interchange is planned for major improvements in 2014.

The primary change will be to provide a seven foot wide landscaped parkway on the west side of the road with an eight foot wide combination sidewalk and Class I bike lane. The additional right-of-way and improvements will occur as a condition of future development.

Valley Boulevard
Valley Boulevard is designated as a Major Arterial. It is currently a four lane road and will be increased to six lanes and include a raised median. See Figure 5-1 and street section A on Figure 5-2.

San Bernardino Avenue
San Bernardino Avenue is designated as a Collector Street. It is currently a four lane road and will remain in that configuration. See Figure 5-1 and Street Section B on Figure 5-2.

5.0 │ CIRCULATION, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES
Revised January 2025 5-2
The street width and right-of-way may be expanded approximately 10 feet on the south side of the road in the future to accommodate an Omnitrans Bus Rapid transit line, should that become a reality. See Figure 5-1 and Street Section B on Figure 5-2.

Meridian Avenue
Meridian Avenue is an existing 2-lane local road and will be improved to 4 lanes.

See Figure 5-1 and Street Section B on Figure 5-2.

Wildrose Avenue (North Of Street A), Woodpine Avenue,
Indigo Avenue, Hermosa Avenue, Street A and C Street
Wildrose Avenue, Woodpine Avenue, Indigo Avenue, and C Street are existing 2- lane roads and will remain so. While Wildrose currently extends between Valley Boulevard and San Bernardino Avenue, it will be changed to a cul-de-sac on its north end to avoid through traffic in residential areas. Street A is a new 2-lane road located between Wildrose Avenue and N. Eucalyptus Avenue and is also designated as a 2-lane road.

Wildrose Avenue and Woodpine Avenue will have a 36’ curb to curb street section within a 72’ right of way. Wildrose Avenue between Woodpine Avenue and Valley Blvd will have a 48’ curb to curb street section within a 72’ right-of-way.

Woodpine Avenue and Indigo Avenue will have a 48’ curb to curb street section within a 64’right-of-way.

Wildrose Avenue (South Of Street A) and N. Eucalyptus Avenue Wildrose Avenue (south of Street A) is an existing 2-lane road. N. Eucalyptus Avenue is a new road and an extension of N. Eucalyptus Avenue north of San Bernardino Avenue. Both are planned as 2-lane roads with a 40’ curb to curb street section within a 64’ right-of-way.

Bus Rapid Transit
Based on discussions with representatives of Omnitrans, they are estimating that within the next 5 to 10 years a bus rapid transit (BRT) system will be in place to serve the CHCCSP project area and surrounding communities. The current Omnitrans plans establish a BRT beginning point for the CHCCSP project area along Valley Boulevard at Hermosa Avenue, north on Pepper Avenue, and an end point at the western boundary of the project area along San Bernardino Avenue.

The bus line would continue westerly from that point.

Because there is no certainty that continuity of the exclusive bus lanes can be provided outside of the specific plan area, instead of exclusive BRT lanes, “queue jumper” lanes and bus priority signalization at major intersections are planned for in the CHCCSP area. These improvements are part of Omnitrans’ Bus Stop Guidelines (2006). Where applicable, all applications for development adjacent to the proposed BRT route shall be subject to review by the Development Services Director to assure queue jumper lanes and bus priority signalization at major intersections can be provided.

Pedestrian Connectivity/Bicycle Routes
One of the primary goals identified for the CHCCSP area is to create a safe, walkable community that connects the residential neighborhoods to one other, as well as to the parks, school, new commercial uses and the surrounding community.

Figure 5-3, Bike Lane and Sidewalk Master Plan, identifies the routes for both pedestrian and bicyclists. To enhance safety, all pedestrian walks along interior residential neighborhood public streets are separated from the street by a landscape parkway. Provisions in the development Regulations and Community Design Guidelines have been provided to ensure that pedestrian connectivity is provided to interconnect all land uses.

5.2 Infrastructure: Grading, Sewer, Water, Storm
Drainage, Utilities

5.2.1 Overview
The following describes the various infrastructure master plans to support the land uses for Colton’s Hub City Center Specific Plan (CHCCSP) including grading, sewer, storm drainage and water. Utilities including electric, telephone, gas and cable television are also discussed. Proposed drainage, sewer, and water master plans have been conceptually designed to provide an adequate level of service for the maximum level of the planned development. These master plans are based on various city infrastructure studies.

5.2.2 Master Grading Plan
The existing topography on the project site is split with a high point at San Bernardino Avenue at Eucalyptus Avenue. Overall the average grades across the site vary from 0.5% to 1.5%. The portion of the site lying westerly of Eucalyptus Avenue drains south and westerly towards Valley Boulevard and the portion of the site lying easterly of Eucalyptus Avenue drains south and easterly towards Valley Boulevard and Meridian Avenue. Portions of the existing golf course currently lie about 7 feet below the grade of Valley Boulevard. As a result, portions of the site will require significant grading. All grading shall be done under the jurisdiction of the latest edition of the CBC, and the City of Colton Building and Safety and Engineering Divisions. The Grading Plan has been designed to accommodate drainage and a street system that meets city standards for acceptable infrastructure grades. The conceptual Master Grading Plan is shown on Figure 5-4.

Revised January 2025 5-7
In most areas, the proposed grades will be within 1 to 7 feet of the existing ground surface. This may increase in the business park, where larger pads are typically needed. The earthwork of each individual development is expected to balance with the exception of Planning Areas 9, 13 and 16 (existing golf course and park sites). Planning Areas 9, 13 and 16 are expected to have significant amounts of import, estimated import quantities are shown on the Conceptual Master Grading Plan. A more detailed analysis of the grading plan will be required as part of the final project design. The grading and earthwork volumes will then be refined to meet the requirements of the City of Colton based on the proposed land use.

5.2.3 Master Sewer Plan
The City of Colton owns, operates and maintains a wastewater collection, pumping and treatment system and will be providing the wastewater collection for the proposed CHCCSP area. The city is responsible for the construction and on-going maintenance of the wastewater collection system within the city limits.

The conceptual Master Sewer Plan shown in Figure 5-5 depicts the existing and proposed location and sizes of the wastewater collection system within the CHCCSP area. At the present time there is an existing 12-inch sewer main in Valley Blvd., west of Pepper, and a 15-inch sewer main within Valley Blvd., east of Pepper Avenue. In addition, there is an existing 12-inch main running north-south in Wildrose Avenue, an existing 8-inch main running east-west on Woodpine Avenue and north-south on Indigo Avenue, an existing 12-inch sewer line running north-south along the existing Eucalyptus Avenue right-of-way, an existing 8-inch sewer line running north-south along Pepper Avenue as well as an existing 8-inch sewer line running north-south in Meridian Avenue which transitions to a 10-inch line near Valley Blvd.

The proposed sewer system consists of a new 8-inch sewer pipe in N Eucalyptus Ave. running southerly to Street “A”, the 8-inch sewer continues on Street “A” connecting to the existing 12-inch sewer on Wildrose Ave. The existing 12” sewer located in Valley Blvd. from Wildrose Avenue to Pepper Avenue will be abandoned or removed and replaced with a new 15 inch sewer pipe. A new 10- inch sewer pipe is proposed within Hermosa Avenue, running northerly from Valley Blvd. All proposed sewer pipes within the CHCCSP area are designed to fall within the proposed dedicated street rights-of-way; no additional rights-ofway are required to provide sewage collection within the CHCCSP area.

A more detailed analysis of the size and location of the wastewater collection system will be required as part of the final design. The sewer pipe size will then be refined to meet the requirements of the City of Colton based on the proposed land use.

5.2.4 Master Water Plan
The City of Colton and West Valley Water District currently provide water service for the CHCCSP area. The City of Colton currently provides water service to the area east of Pepper Avenue and West Valley Water District currently provides water service to the area west of Pepper Avenue. The conceptual Master Water

5.0 │ CIRCULATION, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES
Revised January 2025 5-8
Plan on Figure 5-7 depicts the existing and proposed location and sizes of the water distribution system within the CHCCSP area.

The portion of the project served by West Valley Water District is in their Pressure Zone 3 system. There is a 12-inch diameter pipeline in Wildrose Ave, Woodpine Ave, Indigo Ave and San Bernardino Ave, between Wildrose Ave and Eucalyptus Ave. There is an 8-inch diameter pipeline in San Bernardino Ave, between Eucalyptus Ave and Pepper Ave., there is also a 10-inch diameter pipeline in Pepper Ave and Valley Ave between Eucalyptus Ave and Pepper Ave. as well as an 8-inch diameter pipeline in Rexford Avenue.

The proposed water distribution system consists of abandoning the existing 16- inch water line in Eucalyptus Avenue and constructing a new 16-inch water line in the new Eucalyptus Avenue right-of-way. Also proposed is a new 8-inch water line in Street “A”. All proposed water lines within the CHCCSP area are designed to fall within the proposed dedicated street rights-of-way; no additional rights-ofway are required to provide water distribution within the CHCCSP area.

West Valley Water District’s existing storage capacity for Pressure Zone 3 is 9 million gallons. Preliminary calculations indicate the need for additional storage for the Zone 3 system. A Water Supply Assessment (WSA) for the Specific Plan area located within the WVWD service area, dated September 5, 2013, has been approved by the West Valley Water District Board of Directors. A WSA has also been approved by the City of Colton for its respective service area.

A more detailed analysis of the size, location and capacity of existing facilities of the water distribution system will be required as part of the final design. The water pipe size will then be refined to meet the minimum requirements of the City of Colton and WVWD based on the proposed land use.

5.2.5 Master Storm Drain
The project site is located within the boundaries of the San Bernardino County Flood Control District. That portion of the project that lies west of Eucalyptus Avenue drains south and westerly towards Valley Boulevard and Sycamore Avenue, to the Rialto Channel Drainage Area, in Master Plan Drainage Area 3-3.

That portion of the project that lies east of Eucalyptus Avenue drains south and easterly towards Valley Boulevard and Meridian Avenue to the previously constructed 108 inch storm drain pipe at Meridian and I-10 Freeway, in Master Plan Drainage Area 3-5. This existing Master Plan 108 inch storm drainpipe is bulkheaded at the I-10 Freeway. Master Storm Drain is shown on Figure 5-6.

Storm drainage master planning is a joint responsibility of the City of Colton and the San Bernardino County Flood Control District. Drainage and flood control facilities and drainage improvements shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of the San Bernardino County Flood Control District. The San Bernardino County Flood Control District is responsible for the regional channels, debris basins, and detention facilities. The city is responsible for the acceptance, maintenance, and master plan design of the local drainage collection systems, local detention basins, and the storm drain infrastructure that carry runoff to San Bernardino County Flood Control District regional facilities.

Revised January 2025 5-9
The master planned drainage facilities are designed to carry various design flows.

The project will be required to convey safely the 100-year storm event for the developed condition. In order to minimize deficiencies in the existing drainage system, individual developments will be responsible for detaining all stormwater in excess of the sites existing peak runoff. According to the City of Colton, a 72- inch storm drain was constructed from the existing 84-inch storm drain (Colton Drain) in Valley Boulevard, at the west end of the Specific Plan boundary, to Eucalyptus Avenue continuing north on Eucalyptus Avenue as a 66-inch storm drain to the existing George Brown Park detention basin located south of San Bernardino Avenue at Eucalyptus Avenue. This storm drain extension is bulkheaded at the future connection to the existing 84-inch Colton Drain due to backwater issues caused by the Rialto Channel. The constructed length or constructed pipe sizes of this storm drain line have not been verified and would be verified before any connections are made to the storm drain.

When the ultimate 3-5 storm drain system is installed downstream to the Santa Ana River it is anticipated that the George Brown Park site will no longer be required for flood protection (refer to City of Colton Storm Drain System Update by GTS Associates). Prior to the completion of the 3-5 storm drain system the existing George Brown Park site will be required to provide interim flood protection to mitigate flooding downstream. The estimated flood volume to the George Brown Park site based on the rational method calculations in the report “Preliminary Study for Comprehensive Storm Drain Projects 3-3, 3-5, 3-8 Rational Method Volume III” prepared for the City of Colton, dated May 20, 2008, is about 24 acre-feet. The George Brown Park site currently discharges water to the 3-3 drainage basin.

A more detailed analysis of the size and location of the storm drain system will be required as part of the final design for each development application. The storm drain pipe size will then be refined to meet the requirements of the City of Colton based on the proposed land use.

5.2.6 Utilities

5.3.1 Police and Fire Protection
The Colton Police Department provides law enforcement for the City and will be responsible for servicing the entire CHCCSP project area. Colton’s current standard is a ratio of one sworn police officer per 1,000 residents. The police station is located at 650 N. La Cadena Drive in Colton. Additional sworn police offices will be required to support the development at this same ratio. A sub-station will be required for the project within the future retail center within Planning Area 16 or other location deemed acceptable to the Police Department. As part of any retail development within Planning Area 16, the applicant will be required to work with the Police Department to locate such a facility to the satisfaction of the Police Department and the City Planning Commission.

The City of Colton Fire Department provides fire protection to the CHCCSP area.

They also provide paramedic service in this area. The closest station is Fire Station #212, which is approximately one mile away, located on 1511 N. Rancho Avenue, northeast of the project. The response time from Fire Station is approximately six minutes to the project area.

While no fire station is required for the CHCCSP area, the current Fire Station #212 may need to be upgraded or relocated to better serve new development in the project. Therefore, prior to approval of each application within the CHCCSP area, the applicant(s) will be required to work together with the Fire Department to address their needs. Fire sprinklers are required for all residential buildings with the exception of detached one and two-family homes, per current city requirements. One-family and two-family homes may also require fire sprinklers subject to a determination by the Planning Commission.

In the event lake features occur in the CHCCSP area, access shall be provided for fire trucks for use in case of emergencies to the satisfaction of the Fire Department.

5.3.2 Library Services

COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES

6.0 Community Design Guidelines and
Objective Design Standards

6.1 Purpose and Intent
The Colton’s Hub City Centre Specific Plan Amendment (CHCCSP) Community Design Guidelines provides standards and guidelines for all major community design elements: site planning, architecture, monumentation, landscape, signage, lighting and other improvements in order to implement the “Vision” and “Principles” identified in Section 2.0, Community Planning and Design Principles Additionally, the objective design standards set forth in Section 6.8 also provide standards including: site planning and building design to implement the “Vision” and “Principles” for residential mixed use development projects.

Sketches, exhibits and representative project photographs are intended as visual aids in conveying basic design intent. They are provided as a “palette” of design elements to guide the design of the various sites but are not to depict any actual lot or building design. Architects, engineers, landscape architects, developers, builders and others involved with project design of each individual parcel are encouraged to use creativity and imagination in developing their precise design proposals and to build upon these guidelines. Refer also to Section 4, Development Regulations, for each of the respective land use types.

All project applications shall be in substantial conformance with these guidelines.

As used in this section, “shall” indicates a requirement and “should” indicates a guideline that is strongly recommended and is subject to discretion by the Development Services Director or his / her designee and / or Planning Commission during the development application review process. The renderings and sketches that follow include the Specific Plan project name “Colton’s Hub City Centre”. The City Council has sole discretion to revise the project name at a future date.

Objective Design Standards set forth in Section 6.8 apply to new Res-MU development proposals within the boundary of the Specific Plan. For further discussion of applicability of the objective design standards see Section 7.3.3.

6.0 │ COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES
Revised January 2025 6-2

6.2 Design Guideline Objectives and Objective
Standards
The primary objectives of these Guidelines are to:

1. Provide guidance and criteria to City staff, the Planning Commission and City Council in the review of future development applications.

2. Implement the Vision and Principles identified in Section 2.0, Community Planning and Design Principles, including the following:
¤ Establish design elements that create a village environment. ¤ Establish and encourage pedestrian connectivity among various land uses.
¤ Provide emphasis on the pedestrian and pedestrian scaled design elements.
¤ Create a community design that will add value for property owners, future residents, businesses, and the City as a whole.
¤ Implement the Housing Element programs and comply with state housing laws.

6.3 Community Identity / Village Environment
Most memorable communities with a village type environment share certain common characteristics. They are walkable, include quaint parks and beautiful tree shaded streetscapes with rich landscaping in residential and commercial / business areas. They have a distinct identity that comes through due to a combination of quality architectural and landscape design elements, including enhanced entry monumentation, street furnishings and signage. They are also pedestrian scaled: interior streets are primarily two lanes, architectural elements visible from the public domain are more highly detailed with special attention to building forms, roof lines, and entries, windows, and other elements that enrich the community. There is also a timeless quality, one that improves in character and charm over time. These types of village settings are frequently referred to as “Early California” vernacular. Examples of these settings can be found in many older communities such as Pasadena, Claremont, and Riverside.

This Early California vernacular has been selected as the guiding design influence for the CHCCSP. For residential areas, it opens the door to a wide diversity of architectural influences such as Monterey, Spanish Eclectic, Craftsman and Cottage styles, among others. Within the retail areas and particularly the Main Street elements, Early California influences provides a wide range of architectural elements, with pedestrian scaled store fronts that incorporate a rich variety of materials such as stone and brick. For the office and business parks, the village character can be achieved by providing a campus like setting, with tree shaded parkways in public streets and well landscaped project areas.

Revised January 2025 6-3
The guidelines in this Section identify the quality and character envisioned for the CHCCSP to implement this Early California vernacular. All development proposals for the CHCCSP shall meet or exceed the quality shown.

The guidelines are organized into the following sections:
 RETAIL
 OFFICE
 BUSINESS PARK
 RESIDENTIAL
 RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE
 RESIDENTIAL SITE LANDSCAPE, WALLS, AND FENCES
 COMMUNITY STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN
 COMMUNITY ENTRY MONUMENTS , WALLS AND FENCES
 COMMUNITY LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES
 OUTDOOR LIGHTING

6.4 Retail Guidelines
Objectives
The objective for Retail areas is to promote development of a vibrant walkable Village Center Hub that includes a “Main Street”, entertainment and hospitality components combined with large format department stores, large format national retail stores and other support uses. The many existing and planned uses near the Center will add to its vitality.

With the planned nearby office, Business Park and residential uses, there is likely to be a substantial number of people that will walk to the Retail areas. This is in addition to the potential use by many of those who are employed by or visit the ARMC. Therefore, during all phases of planning and development, a strong emphasis should be placed on creating pedestrian connectivity to the adjacent and nearby uses.

The Retail Guidelines are divided into several categories as follows:
 Main Street
 Northwest Corner of Pepper Avenue and Valley Boulevard  Large Format Buildings
 Hotel and Motels
 Service Stations and Car Washes
 Drive-through Businesses
Each of the above categories is subdivided into Site Planning / Landscape Guidelines and Architectural Guidelines below. Refer in particular to Section 4.0 Development Regulations, and to Section 7.3.4, for Master Planning requirements for all Retail (R) planning areas.

Revised January 2025 6-4
Main Street - Site Planning / Landscape Guidelines
Main Street “lifestyle centers” typically provide specialty goods, services and restaurants with outdoor patios and dining areas in a village atmosphere, reminiscent of early California Main Streets. These lifestyle centers are typically located within a larger shopping center context. This retailing model, mixing small scale shops and restaurants along a central Main Street within a larger shopping center setting, has become more popular throughout the Inland Empire and nationwide as it combines small village scale shopping and dining with the convenience of having all major national scale retailers in one location. Since shoppers at these centers are inclined to visit more than one store, and tend to spend time browsing through several shops, retail sales are often greater.

Figure 6.1 conveys the overall concept of a Main Street for Colton’s Hub City Centre. It is set within the context of a larger shopping center. The Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, north of the I-10 Freeway and Valley Boulevard, is shown along the right portion of the rendering.

The renderings illustrate the goals for PA 16 and includes specialty shops, restaurants with outdoor seating areas, small plaza / fountain areas and thematic lighting.

The building locations in the rendering are shown for conceptual purposes. The goal is to provide future shopping center developers with an overall concept to guide future detailed plans. The following provides various considerations to be taken into account during the planning and design of the Main Street:

1. To create an attractive and vibrant pedestrian scale Main Street setting, enhance walkways in fronts of buildings with landscaping, thematic lighting fixtures, benches, trellises, and other decorative features.

Organize buildings to encourage pedestrian circulation between stores and adjacent uses. Minimum walkway widths adjacent to buildings should be 12 feet to provide ample room.

2. Provide an arch way or equivalent architectural feature at the primary entry area from Valley Boulevard and/or Pepper Avenue as shown in Figure 6-2.

3. Orient primary store entries and windows to the Main Street so they are easily identifiable and inviting as shown in Figure 6-3.

4. Provide a roundabout to create a focal point for the Main Street and include a fountain and/or other focal element such as a sculpture or specimen tree. Figure 6-4 illustrates a concept with a fountain in a roundabout.

5. Seek to incorporate a movie theater complex in any master plan concept within Planning Area 16 and orient it to the Main Street as an architectural focal point. See Figure 6-5.

6. Provide one row of parking (parallel, perpendicular or angled) on the Main Street on each side of the street. All other parking shall occur in the rear of the Main Street with pedestrian access between buildings to meet minimum parking stall requirements.

7. In areas between buildings that link parking lots to the Main Street pedestrian, include pedestrian walkways a minimum of fifteen feet (15’) wide and a trellis. Provide pedestrian links to public sidewalks and plaza areas from retail buildings.

8. Incorporate current and future Omnitrans bus routes into final design concepts. Provide enough spacing at bus stops for ADA compliance and to provide seating and a shade canopy along all major streets.

9. Locate refuse bins and their enclosures behind buildings and screened with walls and landscape. Include a planter area with vines to soften the wall.

10. Locate loading docks and service areas in the rear of buildings and screened from public view. Design loading areas to prevent truck back-up maneuvers from or onto the public rights of way.

11. Parking areas and parking lots, including cross walks shall be well lighted.

Provide cut-off type luminaires to avoid glare.

12. Enhance parking areas with canopy / shade trees. Screen all parking areas through use of landscaped berms, low masonry walls and / or hedges from public view.

13. Incorporate trees into tree wells or planting strips along the walkways in from of buildings facing the Main Street. Locate trees no greater than thirty five (35’) feet apart to soften and complement the building elevations and to provide shade for the pedestrian.

14. Provide enhanced paving on main pedestrian pathways in parking lots.

See Figure 6-6.

Main Street - Architecture Guidelines

1. Incorporate appropriate architectural styles reminiscent of California’s rich heritage, including, Monterey, Mission, Spanish eclectic, among others. Art deco is a style that could be complementary for the movie theater or as an accent use such as a thematic diner. Refer to Figures 6-3 through 6-5 for examples that meet the intent. Inappropriate styles would be high-tech, modern or rustic.

2. Provide vertical and horizontal variations on building wall planes, building projections, and door and window bays visible to the public. Also provide large windows, colonnades, awnings, and variation in materials.

3. Design all buildings to pedestrian scaled, e.g., massing and form should not overwhelm the street.

4. A variety of roof types are encouraged. Distinct and interesting rooflines are preferred. Flat roof structures are permitted providing there is variation in heights along the lengths of buildings. Long, unbroken horizontal rooflines are prohibited.

5. The architecture for franchise shops and restaurants, particularly fast food restaurants, should incorporate architectural elements that relate to the overall retail theme of the project.

6. Include a minimum of one significant vertical element extending above the tallest roof lines to provide a focal point and a view terminus on the Main Street.

8. Refer to Figure 6-8 for examples that incorporate the design guidelines above.

Hospitality – Site Planning and Landscape Guidelines
Multiple opportunities exist for hotel and motel sites within the Retail (R) and Retail Mixed Use (RMU) land use categories to serve business and recreational travelers. The proximity to restaurants and shopping uses creates an ideal condition for travelers, who typically prefer lodging where they can drive short distances or walk. Hotels and motels may also serve the needs for families of patients at the ARMC and who desire overnight lodging.

While the rendering above shows two hotel locations near the I-10 Freeway and Pepper Avenue interchange, the design guidelines apply to any location, refer also to Figure 6-9.

1. In order to create a presence along a major street frontage, provide direct access to the building along an entry drive and to avoid driving through the parking lot.

In order to establish a village scale and campus character envisioned for the CHCCSP, a maximum building length of two hundred twenty-five feet (225’) shall be maintained within all Business Park areas. The intent is to avoid big box warehousing and distribution developments and the associated truck traffic, which detracts from the health, safety and welfare of the larger community.

2. Locate Business Park buildings with the primary entry visible from the public street and accessible from pedestrian walks that connect to the street. The intent is to encourage walking to and from other uses within the community.

3. Identify primary entries to buildings with a prominent architectural element such as an architectural canopy or deep building recess or other similar element to provide a sense of entry.

4. Provide attractive landscape areas within building setbacks adjacent to public streets that will reinforce a campus setting.

5. Enhance parking areas with shade trees. Screen all parking areas from public view with a berm, wall, and / or hedge pursuant to the development regulations.

6. Plant landscape areas adjacent to buildings with trees, shrubs and ground covers. Trees may be grouped equally or in groups. In order to soften the building elevation and to promote a campus character, provide tree spacing at an average of thirty-five feet (35’) on center. The following minimum tree sizes apply for all development: 5% - 36 “ box, 15% - 24” box and 80% -15-gallon.

7. Provide a minimum of one enhanced (1) primary vehicular entry area with special paving. Examples of enhanced paving include colored concrete with decorative score lines, colored stamped concrete or stamped AC paving, brick, masonry or other similar materials. Consistency between enhanced paving within each planning area shall be provided.

8. Locate loading docks and service areas to rear of buildings and screened from public view.

Revised January 2025 6-29

9. Locate refuse bins and their enclosures behind buildings and screened with walls and landscape. A minimum of a two feet (2’) wide planting area, planted with vines, is required around trash enclosures.

10. Provide well lighted parking areas and parking lots, including crosswalks in accordance with City requirements.

11. Design all ingress and egress into office uses to minimize impacts on the surrounding uses while permitting ease of access.

Business Park - Architecture Guidelines

1. Simple, clean forms are preferred with prominent architectural elements at corners and / or the mid-section of all buildings emphasizing primary entries.

2. Place special attention on buildings facing the I-10 Freeway, Valley Boulevard and Wildrose Avenue. For buildings visible from these public corridors, the intent is to create a character reflective of an office building complex with clear or spandrel glass along the entire elevation similar to the examples in Figure 6-18.

3. Coordinate colors, materials and finishes on all exterior elevations of all buildings to achieve continuity of design. Earth tone colors, consistent with the examples shown in Figures 6-11 through 6-14 are encouraged.

Avoid bright orange, pink or other intense colors. Materials may be concrete, stone, or brick. In the event stone, brick or other similar material is used, manufactured / cultured stone materials are permitted. Such materials shall be of high quality and durability.

4. A variety of roof forms are permitted. Gable, hip and flat roofs are all acceptable. Accent or hide flat roofs with a parapet wall. Whatever roof form is selected, screen all roof top equipment with a wall material and color complementary to the building material.

6.7 Residential Guidelines
As described in the Community Vision, the primary objective for the residential neighborhoods is to create an attractive, pedestrian friendly, village environment with the charm and character of many older California communities. The guidelines and exhibits below provide the methods to accomplish these objectives.

Residential - Site Planning and Landscape Guidelines

1. In order to create an attractive street scene, provide “front forward” architecture. This includes locating first floor living areas in front of the garage and turning the garage at a right angle (side-on garages) to the street. Vary building setbacks between the sidewalk and building face in the range of five to ten feet (5’-10’) between adjacent homes, so no two homes are aligned evenly across a street.

2. Provide a minimum of 30% side-on garages of homes along any one street.

Include a window on the face of the garage consistent with other windows on the front elevation of the home.

3. Enhance all four sides of the home, also referred to as 360 degree architecture. Include front porches, balconies, pitched roofs and other architectural features that enliven and activate the street for pedestrians.

Attached Homes

1. Create a pedestrian scaled setting along streets by orienting living areas to face streets and open spaces with garages located behind homes in alley ways or motor courts. This also provides “eyes on the street” that adds to the community security.

2. Whenever possible, interior buildings should be configured around courtyards, gathering areas and open spaces. Amenities should be provided appropriate to the different age groups.

3. Provide a layering of landscape materials with trees, large and small shrubs and ground covers to enhance each home and the community as a whole.

4. Energy efficiency and energy conservation should be considered in siting of buildings.

Residential – Architecture Objective Design Standards
The residential guidelines are intended to promote diversity within the context of an Early California character. Diversity of styles has several advantages including 1) adds architectural richness and interest and 2) providing flexibility to home builders as they will have many architectural options to choose from and will not be constrained by any one particular style.

The examples provided and the guidelines below shall be used as the design criteria for all residential and residential mixed use architecture.

6.0 │ COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES
Revised January 2025 6-36
Architectural Styles
A variety of architectural styles are included in Figures 6-20 through 6-23 that complement the Early California theme including Monterey, Craftsman, Spanish Eclectic and Cottage Styles.

Other Early California styles not described in the following Design Guidelines are permitted provided they are true to their origins and incorporate design features of the period. If a style is requested that is not included in these guidelines, the applicant shall provide exhibits that include the same information as occurs within the architectural style Figures in this CHCCSP. The exhibits shall include color photographs of representative homes / buildings that incorporate the style, along with a summary of the appropriate building and roof form, colors, and details for review and approval of the Development Services Director or his / her designee.

Modern or High tech or similar styles not consistent with an Early California heritage shall be avoided. However, for live work homes in Planning Areas 16A and 24, a more contemporary architectural character may be considered, subject to approval of the Planning Commission.

Architectural Standards
The following summarizes the major design principles that shall be incorporated into each floor plan and all building elevations. Refer to Figures 6-24 to 6-31 for additional principles and guidelines as well as Sections 6.8, 6.9, and 6.10 for residential mixed use.

Massing and Scale: The articulation of building facades and variation in rooflines increases the attractiveness in residential architecture. The location of certain building elements also improves massing and scale. On single-family homes, placing one-story elements on two-story houses at street corners effectively steps down the scale and massing, providing a more pedestrian friendly street scene.

Therefore, on corner lot conditions for the single-family homes, architects are encouraged to provide single story elements such as entry canopies, trellises, porches, or other single story architectural enhancements.

Building Materials and Colors: Both play an important role enhancing each neighborhood and the community in general. While earth tones are preferred to complement the early California theme, a variety of color palettes are recommended in order to avoid a monotonous or continuous appearance of buildings. Contrasting of a dark trim against a light house color is one example.

Examples of preferred color palettes that blend with the community theme are provided in the photographs in Figures 6-20 to 6-31 that follow. Bright orange, pink or other intense colors shall be avoided.

Window Details: Window details differentiate architectural styles and provide a high level of architectural enrichment. The selection and proportion of the windows to the facade should be responsive to the architectural style of the building. Size and shape should be considered to assure a balanced relationship with the surrounding roof and walls. Accent shutters are ways to further enhance the architecture and should be in keeping with the scale of the windows. In general, windows should enhance rather than dominate the overall architectural character.

Revised January 2025 6-37
Porches and Balconies: Another way to add to the architectural interest and functionality of a building is to incorporate porches and balconies. They help add depth to a building facade and break up large wall masses. Front porches and balconies also provide a pedestrian friendly scale and opportunity for social interaction. The design of the porch or balcony shall be consistent with the architectural style.

Columns and Posts: Whether serving as structural or aesthetic elements, columns and posts can reinforce the theme and character of a particular architectural design. The size and scale of columns and posts will vary depending upon the architectural style and should convey a solid, durable image. They may be freestanding or used as a support.

The Articulation of Rear and Side Building Facades: Where homes are visible from streets or alleys, enhancement of rear and side elevations facing the public domain (e.g. public roads, parks, habitat areas) are an important consideration to ensure a quality community. Therefore, the architectural treatments for these conditions shall incorporate architectural enhancements such as enhanced window treatments, moldings, balconies and other appropriate details.

Floor Plans and Elevations: For planning areas that include single-family detached homes, a range of floor plans and elevations shall be provided. A minimum of three (3) different floor plans is required for each planning area with a minimum of three (3) elevations required for all detached homes. Matching elevations should not be repeated adjacent to one another or opposite one another.

For attached homes, a minimum of three (3) distinct architectural elevations are required for duplexes and triplexes. A minimum of two (2) elevations are required for fourplex or greater buildings unless approved by the Development Services Director or his /her designee due to unique design conditions.

Director. For private use areas enclosed by four feet (4’) to six feet (6’) high privacy walls or fences, separated by other similar architectural elements, no landscaping is necessary to be provided by the builder or developer.

2. Select plant materials for common areas from the Landscape Palette located in the Community Design Guidelines. Additional plant material may be selected if approved by the Development Services Director or his/her designee.

3. Provide a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) of the total site for common area landscaping. The fifteen percent (15%) is in addition to the landscape area within parkways between sidewalks and streets and any private yard areas enclosed by a wall exceeding a height of four feet (4’).

4. Select street trees for public rights-of-ways that are consistent with the landscape sections and Community Design Guidelines provided herein.

Provide 33% of total boxes at a minimum twenty-four inch (24”) box size and 67% of total boxes at 15 gallon size for street trees in parkways between a sidewalk and curb shall. Street trees are not intended to be included to satisfy the minimum twenty percent (20%) for the common areas.

6. All areas used for private patios may be screened with a four feet (4’) to six feet (6’) high masonry wall or vinyl fence material pursuant the Community Design Guidelines. However, if less than eight feet (8’) occurs from a sidewalk to a wall where there are fronts or sides of homes adjacent to a public or private street, then the maximum wall height shall be three feet (3’). There shall be no less than two feet (2’) of planting area depth from the face of any wall of any height to a sidewalk or other paved surface, in order to allow for plant materials such as vines and hedges to be planted.

7. No wood fences are permitted within the CHCCSP project area, except for use as access gates in residential areas. Other walls or fences, such as those manufactured with composite materials shall be subject to approval by the Development Services Director or his / her designee. Refer also to Section

4.0, Development Regulations, for additional wall and fence requirements within each land use category.

Residential Privacy Walls and Fences
Where walls or fences occur for privacy between homes, along alleys adjacent to the open space areas, or on corner lots, provide a masonry or vinyl material that complements the building architecture. This includes slumpstone, split face block, stucco finished masonry walls, and vinyl fences. On masonry walls, provide a minimum three inch (3”) high masonry caps. Refer also to Section 4.0, Development Regulations, for additional wall and fence requirements within each land use category.

Revised January 2025 6-63
For common refuse enclosures, they shall provide a separate gate for recycled material with a sign similar to the example that follows.

6.11 Community Entry Monuments, Walls and
Fences

6.11.1 Entry Monument Guidelines
Community entry monuments are planned at several key locations as part of establishing an overall community identity. The design intent is to create a consistent theme and vocabulary of materials for all residential and commercial / business park areas. The Colton’s Hub City Centre community name and / or logo is included on each monument. The name is subject to change in the future at the discretion of the City Council. Refer to Figure 6-32, Community Wall and Entry Monument Plan for locations of each of the monuments. Sketches and elevations of the monuments are referenced below.

Valley Boulevard and Pepper Avenue
The primary entry into the community occurs from the I-10 Freeway at Pepper Avenue. In order to create a dramatic entry statement and sense of arrival for the entire Specific Plan area, a combination fountain and monument is planned at the northwest corner of Valley Boulevard and Pepper Avenue. A rendering of the concept is shown in Figure 6-33.

Wildrose and Meridian Avenues at Valley Boulevard
Monuments shown in Figure 6-34 are located at these two key entry areas into Commercial / Business areas.

Indigo Avenue and N. Eucalyptus Avenue at San Bernardino Avenue Entry monuments into the residential neighborhoods are shown in Figure 6-34. In order to reinforce an overall community identity, the same vocabulary of materials is used as in the Commercial / Business Park areas.

6.11.2 Community Wall And Fence Guidelines
Community Theme Wall
Community walls are located in residential areas along the project boundary and along streets based on traffic and / or noise considerations. Exceptions to community wall locations include open space boundaries and where easements

6.0 │ COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES
Revised January 2025 6-64
do not allow walls. As is the case with entry monuments, the intent is to establish a consistent theme of materials within the community. Refer to Figure 6-32 respectively for wall locations and types.

The height of community walls typically will be six feet except where necessary for noise attenuation. The Development Service Director may select the appropriate height, material and style of the community wall. Acoustical studies will be provided by applicants prior to any residential development to determine required wall heights.

In order to soften the character of walls and to provide a graffiti resistant surface along the public facing side of streets, vines such as Boston Ivy are recommended.

Wood Fences
No wood fences are permitted within the CHCCSP, except for use as access gates to residential yards, up to three (3) feet high picket or similar type fences in front yards. All walls in residential development areas shall be a tan colored slump stone, split face block, or other equivalent material approved by the Development Services Director.

6.12 Community Streetscape Master Plan and
Guidelines
Streetscapes play an important part in developing a distinctive community. Trees, shrubs and groundcovers within parkway, medians, and landscaped setback areas adjacent to the public rights of way all contribute to creating a unified and beautiful community. The streetscape design elements for the major and local streets within the CHCCSP are described below and illustrated in Figure 6-34, and Urban Management Forestry Plan, and Figures 6-35 through 6-39, Streetscape Sections. While specific tree types have been selected for each of the major streets, they may be revised by Development Services Director and his / her designee. In the event they are changed, it is recommended that the form and shape of each substituted tree be similar to those for the respective street tree in the Urban Management Forestry Plan.

All street trees within parkways, between the sidewalks and curbs, are intended to be planted with equidistant spacing versus informal groupings within the medians on Valley Boulevard, Pepper Avenue, and San Bernardino Avenues.

Trees are shown in informal groupings, which is already the case in existing segments of the Pepper Avenue median.

Valley Boulevard
Parkway Trees: Chinese Pistache
Median Trees: Date Palms and Crape Myrtle
Chinese Pistache are broad dome trees, with leaves that turn burgundy in the fall and provide an excellent shade canopy. While the trees are deciduous during the winter, the Southern Magnolias in the median will provide year round foliage.

Revised January 2025 6-65
Flowering Crape Myrtle trees are also included in the median and will provide summer color.

Pepper Avenue
Parkway Tree: Australian Willow Median Trees: Date Palm and Jacaranda On the east side of Pepper Avenue, within the public right-of-way and adjacent to the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center property, there exists a curb adjacent sidewalk and a variety of mature trees in the landscape area with groupings of California Pepper trees, among others tree varieties.

On the west side of Pepper Avenue that is part the Specific Plan, a new parkway and sidewalk is planned as development occurs. The Australian Willow an evergreen tree that forms a shade canopy tree is shown. It will complement the California Pepper trees along the Medical Center site without the high maintenance associates with the Pepper tree.

Jacaranda trees are presently located within the median and are intended to remain. Additional groupings of Date Palms, which provide year round foliage are shown to further enhance the streetscape.

San Bernardino Avenue
Parkway Tree: Tipu Tree
Median Trees: Camphor Tree and Crape Myrtle
The Tipu tree provides a broad dome deciduous tree with yellow summer flowers that provides an excellent shade canopy during the warmest seasons. While these trees are deciduous during the winter, evergreen Camphors in the median will provide year round foliage. The Crape Myrtles which flower during the summer will provide a seasonal accent.

Along residential areas, a landscaped setback area of five feet (5’) minimum is required between the public sidewalk and the future community theme wall. (See Section 4.0, Development Regulations). Evergreen pines are recommended in this landscaped setback area to enhance the streetscape on San Bernardino Avenue and buffer the adjacent residential uses from the road.

12. Pedestrian corridors shall be lit to ensure safe walking environments throughout the project area.

6.14 Landscape Planting Guidelines

6.14.1 Plant Material Guidelines
The quality and long-term appearance for all landscaped areas will depend on many factors including the initial selection of the plant materials, soil preparation and installation, irrigation management and care and maintenance. These guidelines apply to all public or private common areas that will be maintained by a landscape maintenance district, homeowners associations, or similar entity.

General Landscape Requirements

1. All areas required to be landscaped should be planted with turf, groundcover, shrub and / or trees selected from the plant palette contained in these guidelines or as supplemented by the City of Colton Development Services Director or his / her designee. In general, the plant materials designs should provide a layered appearance, with lower growing plants in the foreground and larger growing plants in the background.

2. Cut slopes equal to or greater than eight feet (8’) in vertical height and fill slopes equal to or greater than five feet (5) in vertical height shall be planted with a ground cover to protect the slope from erosion and instability. Slopes exceeding fifteen feet (15’) in vertical height shall be planted with shrubs spaced not more than ten feet (10’) average on center, or trees spaced not to exceed thirty feet (30’) average on center, or a combination of shrubs and trees at equivalent spacing, in addition to the groundcover. The plants selected and planting methods shall be suitable for the soil and climatic conditions.

3. Reference should be made to the City of Colton Standards for erosion control methods for slopes and other landscaped areas.

Climate
The Plant material palette has been selected based on compatibility with the climatic conditions among other considerations discussed below.

Horticultural Soils Test Requirements
Soil characteristics within the site may be variable. The developers / builders for parcels that require landscape development within public areas shall procure a horticultural soils report in order to determine proper planting and maintenance

Revised January 2025 6-79
recommendations for proposed plant materials. Soils testing shall be performed by a qualified agricultural laboratory and shall include a soil fertility and agricultural suitability analysis with pre-planting and post-planting recommendations.

Invasive Species
Non-native invasive plant species shall not be used in landscape plans.

Plant Pest and Disease Control
Diseases and pests can have deleterious affects on one or many plants, whether native or ornamental in origin. Recent pest and disease problems include oleander scorch blight and several eucalyptus problems, requiring that these specific varieties should be avoided. Other plants that today are without known problems may develop problems in the future. While there is no way to predict the occurrence of new pests or diseases there are useful methods to limit the impact of outbreaks and should be incorporated into final design plans for each project.

These include the following:

1. Maintain optimum plant health through soil preparation, water management, and nutrient monitoring.

2. Review community plant material on a regular basis to observe health problems due to disease or pest infestation and take appropriate action.

3. Place plant material in appropriate planting areas and provide proper spacing consistent with the requirements of the plant species.

4. Place plants in similar hydro zone grouping to maximize efficient water use.

6.14.2 Plant Palette
The plant palette in Table 6.1 has been selected to create a unified and cohesive design theme for the community. Plants have also been selected for their appropriateness to climatic conditions, soil conditions, and concern for maintenance and water conservation.

Plant selections should take into consideration grouping of plants with similar cultural requirements in order to minimize water use and to provide conditions where plant material will thrive.

In the streetscape sections of the design guidelines, specific trees have been identified. In those cases, the intent is to illustrate the intended form and character that fulfills the design intent, i.e., evergreen versus deciduous, upright or vertical in form versus dome shaped. Should alternate selections be desired for any given street subject to approval by the Development Services Director or his / her designee, they should reflect the same form and character as those included in the streetscape sections. If alternates are selected for a particular street, the change shall apply to the entire streetscape for the area the change occurs and shall be approved by the Development Services Director or his / her designee.

6.0 │ COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES

SECTION 7

ADMINISTRATION

7.0 Administration
The procedures for implementation and administration of Colton’s Hub City Centre Specific Plan (CHCCSP) are as follows:

7.1 Colton’s Hub City Centre Specific
Plan (CHCCSP) Adoption and
Applicability
The CHCCSP is a regulatory plan, which upon adoption will constitute zoning of the property. Development plans, tract or parcel maps, precise development plans or other actions requiring ministerial or discretionary approval within the boundaries of the project (except as relates to existing public school uses), must be consistent with the CHCCSP. Actions deemed to be consistent with the CHCCSP shall be deemed to be consistent with the City of Colton General Plan as mandated in California Government Code Section 65454. Should the regulations contained herein differ from the regulations of the City of Colton Zoning Ordinance, Title 18 of the Municipal Code, the regulation of the CHCCSP shall take precedence.

7.2 Implementation
The CHCCSP shall be implemented through the processing of tract maps, parcel maps, site plans, conditional use permits or related processes. The implementation process, as described below, provides the mechanism for review of these documents to assure there is development consistency with the CHCCSP goals and objectives, land use, community design and development regulations.

7.0 │ ADMINISTRATION
Revised January 2025 7-2

7.2.1 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS
Tentative Tract Maps, Parcel Maps and Site Plans or other applications for development within the CHCCSP area shall be submitted to the Development Services Development Services Director or his / her designee, or as otherwise determined by the Director, for review and processing for all projects. They shall be reviewed by the City for consistency with the Land Use Plan and all other provisions set forth in this document.

7.2.2 CONVEYANCE MAPS
In certain cases, there may be a need by property owners to parcelize their properties to conform to the Specific Plan land use boundaries or for other purposes. For example, one large property ownership may be designated for two or more different land uses such as retail and residential. In this case, the owner may be interested in legally dividing the parcel(s) but not be interested in developing any buildings, roads or other infrastructure at the time. In such cases, a Parcel Map or Tract Map for conveyance purposes or financing purposes, may be processed under the same application and process as a Tentative Tract Map.

However, since no building or infrastructure approvals are requested, the applicant would not be required to include any grading, sewer or water plans, other than property boundary information and related requirements, e.g., legal description, etc. In addition, no bonding or security would be required except for final monuments. For any such Maps, a condition of approval would be placed on the Map indicating it is for conveyance or financing purposes only. In all cases, the Subdivision Map Act requirements will prevail, including assurances that all parcels that are to be divided will have legal access acceptable to the City of Colton.

7.3 PROCEDURES FOR PROJECT REVIEWS,

APPROVALS, AND AMENDMENTS
The following procedures are to be used for the review and approval of development applications for individual planning areas, and to establish the requirements for making changes or additions to the Colton’s Hub City Centre Specific Plan (CHCCSP).

7.3.1 PLAN APPROVAL
The City of Colton’s development review procedures shall be employed for project implementation as described in the City of Colton Zoning Ordinance, Chapter

18.58, Administration, except as amended herein.

Housing developments in which at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower income households and that are located on sites that been rezoned to accommodate the lower-income RHNA shall be allowed by right. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65583.2(i), by rights mean that no conditional use permit, planned unit development permit, or other discretionary local government review or approval that would constitute a “project” for purposes of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code shall be required.

Revised January 2025 7-3

7.3.2 DESIGN REVIEW
All projects in the CHCCSP are required to be reviewed and approved (or recommended for approval to Planning Commission) by the City Development Services Director or his / her designee (See Section 18.58.030(c)(3)) of the Municipal Code. The CHCCSP Design Guidelines and Objective Design Standards shall be used by the City of Colton’s Development Services Director or his / her designee to review each builder’s proposal for conformance with the overall community design objectives.

All projects that meet the RES-MU objective design standards and development regulations shall be processed ministerially, with the exception of projects that meet one or more of the three criteria below, for which Architectural and Site Plan Review by Planning Commission is required.
• Projects that have buildings longer than 200 feet.
• Projects that have a density greater than or equal to 31 du/ac. • Master Planned projects that are larger than 10 acres in area.

3. The development proposal complies with the applicable community design guidelines of the CHCCSP, any applicable subsequent design guidelines and is compatible with surrounding areas, including, but not limited to building design and placement, colors, materials, height, and massing.

4. Consideration and application of public safety and security are incorporated into the project design.

5. Sustainability and conservation of resources are adequately addressed.

7.3.3 OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR RESIDENTIAL MIXED

USE PROJECTS
SENATE BILL 35 (SB 25)
SB 35 requires cities and counties to streamline review and approval of eligible affordable housing projects through a ministerial process, exempting such projects from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). This process does not allow public hearings to consider the merits of the project; rather only design review or public oversight of the development is allowed, which must be objective and strictly focused on assessing compliance

Revised January 2025 7-5
with criteria required for streamlined projects as well as objective design review of the project (Section 65913.4(c)(1).

SB 35 requires the availability of a streamlined ministerial approval process for multifamily residential developments in jurisdictions that have not yet made sufficient progress toward meeting their regional housing need allocation (RHNA) goal for construction of above-moderate income housing and/or housing for units below 80% area median income (AMI).

As a part of this streamlining process, cities are required to establish objective design standards for multifamily residential development. Projects eligible for SB 35 streamlining include multifamily infill developments with a portion of affordable units. They must be consistent with underlying zoning and be evidenced to have no human health impacts or impacts to natural or historical resources.

Objective design standards for projects in the Res-MU zone are located in Chapter

6.0 of this document.

SENATE BILL 330 (SB 330)
Senate Bill 330 Housing Accountability Crisis Act of 2019 provides for a faster housing project review process. It states that all A local governments must provide a preliminary application for housing development projects seeking vesting rights.

The application allows applicants to provide a limited subset of information on the proposed project. After submitting the preliminary application to the local agency, applicants have 180 days to submit a full application or the preliminary application will expire.

SB 330 also established time limits for final application review. The law states that “Not later than 30 calendar days after any public agency has received an application for a development project, the agency shall determine in writing whether the application is complete.” SB 330 provides for an applicant appeal process, and limits review of the appeal by the jurisdiction to 60 days.

APPLICABILITY
Objective Design Standards set forth in Section 6.8 apply to new Res-MU development proposals within the boundary of the Specific Plan. According to the parameters set forth by Senate Bill 35, the Streamlined Ministerial Process shall be available to proposed projects having at least 10% of units priced to be affordable to households making at or below 80% of the Area Median Income level (AMI), prior to calculating any density bonus.

The project site must meet the “infill” requirements set forth in the California Government Code Section 65913.4 and be zoned for residential or mixed-use development. The applicant must also demonstrate that the site is not within Prime Farmland, or farmland within statewide importance, wetlands, a very high fire hazard severity zone, an earthquake fault zone, special flood hazard area, protected habitat area, or a conservation easement.

Revised January 2025 7-6

7.3.4 PLAN CONSISTENCY:

Following approval of a site plan, tract map or other application for development, (collectively referred to as the Plan) if any changes are proposed regarding the location or alteration of any use, boundary, structures or other substantive change shown on an approved Plan, a revised Plan shall be submitted to the Development Services Director or his/her designee, for approval. If the Development Services Director or his/her designee determines that the proposed revision is in substantial conformance and complies with the provisions of the CHCCSP document and the general intent of the approved Plan, the revised Plan may be approved without resubmittal to the approval process described in the above Section. Such decision shall be posted on the City bulletin board and be final unless appealed to the City Council within ten (10) days from the date of such posting.

7.3.5 MASTER PLAN REQUIRED FOR RETAIL (R), RETAIL MIXED USE (RMU), OR OFFICE MIXED USE (OMU):

Any application for R uses in Planning Areas 16, 20 or 22, RMU uses in Planning Areas 24, and Office Mixed Use (OMU) in Planning Areas 19B, 21 and 23, shall include a Master Plan for the entire respective planning area. The Master Plan shall be provided prior to building design reviews by the City. The objective of this Master Plan is to ensure that any proposed plan by an applicant for any one location or portion of a Planning Area is: 1) designed in a cohesive manner with adjacent areas, 2) provides vehicular and pedestrian access to adjacent sites and major roadways, and 3) is consistent with all Community Planning and Design Principles in Section 2.0 and other design guidelines and development regulations in other Sections of this Specific Plan. All Master Plans are subject to approval by the Planning Commission.

It is understood an applicant may not own all the properties in a given Planning Area, and / or he may not have any agreements to acquire or lease all acres within that Planning Area. In such cases, the Development Services Director or his / her designee shall determine the extent of involvement, if any, of other property owners, e.g., whether meetings with adjacent or nearby property owners are necessary. That decision shall be made on case by case basis.

For an applicant’s parcel, the Master Plan shall identify: 1) the proposed building pads and / or conceptual building footprints, 2) parking areas based on the required number of parking stalls in Section 4.0 and / or applicable city codes, and 3) the locations for vehicular and pedestrian access for ingress and egress to the subject site and to adjacent parcels and to roads shown in the Circulation Plan in Figure 4-1. For parcels in the same planning area other than those of the applicant, the Master Plan shall conceptually identify all the same elements as above. Only general areas for parking need to be shown, not parking stalls. Instead, general boundaries of parking areas may be shown.

Special features identified in the Community Design Guidelines, such as an entry monument and fountain on the corner of Pepper Avenue and Valley Boulevard, shall also be shown conceptually in the Master Plan for Planning Area 16. Within Planning Area 16, a police substation may be required in any Master Plan based on Police Department recommendations.

Revised January 2025 7-7
It is strongly recommended that prior to filing, the applicant discuss with the Development Services Director or his / her designee, the appropriate scale of the plan and any additional information that may be required. Based on the applicants Master Plan submittal, a review by city staff shall be provided and comments submitted to the applicant. If revisions are required, the applicant shall re-submit the Master Plan to address staff comments to the satisfaction of the Development Service Director.

7.3.6 MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM RESIDENTIAL DENSITY
RANGES:

Minimum and maximum density ranges are provided for each residential land use category and are shown in Section 3.1, Table 3.2, Land Use Summary. A “Target Dwelling Unit” and “Target Density” total is also shown for each residential planning area. The Target Dwelling unit totals were based on multiplying the total acres of each planning area by the Target Density.

The total number of dwelling units (DU) proposed for any residential planning area is permitted to have fewer units than shown in Table 3.2, Planning Area Summary, under “Target DU” and may be less than the Target Density.

The total number of dwelling units proposed for any planning area may or may not be permitted to have a greater number of DU than the “Target DU” number.

Provisions for exceeding the Target DU require an additional step described below under density transfers. Projects in the RES-MU zone are exempt from the provisions of the target density transfer.

In all cases, the total DU for any planning area may not exceed the maximum density permitted of the respective land use category. For example, 118 DU is the Target for PA 2 and 158 is the maximum number of DU permitted. This maximum number is determined based on multiplying the total site net acres by the maximum density of 14 du / ac. (11.3 acres x 14 du / ac.) Should the total requested dwelling units by an applicant exceed the “Target DU”, however, a request for greater than the target number of dwelling units requires additional steps as described below under Target Density Transfers (TDT) in order to assure the total CHCCSP does not exceed its permitted maximum total of 4,156 dwelling units.

TARGET DENSITY TRANSFER:

A “Target Dwelling Unit (DU)” total is included for each residential Planning Area in Section 3.0, Table 3.2, Planning Area Summary. The maximum permitted DU in the CHCCSP is 4,156. During the site planning and / or tentative tract map stages of design, the actual number of dwelling units requested by an applicant within a particular planning area may differ from the target number shown in the Planning Area Summary. The total number of dwelling units for any individual planning area may exceed the “Target DU” subject to the following conditions:
 The written approval of the property owner(s) or their designated representative of the planning area(s) affected by a commensurate reduction in the target number of dwelling unit totals must be provided. However, if said property owner(s) previously submitted an application which includes

7.3.11 EFFECTIVE DATE:

All Amendments per this Section adopted by ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after adoption of the second reading by the City Council.

7.4 NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES AND LOTS

7.4.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT
This section establishes uniform provisions for the regulation of legal nonconforming uses, structures and lots. Within the zoning districts established by this CHCCSP, certain land uses and structures were legally established under the requirements of the Colton Municipal Code or prior specific plans that may be prohibited, regulated, or restricted differently under the terms of this Specific Plan Amendment or any subsequent amendments of it.

The CHCCSP discourages the long-term continuance of these nonconformities and encourages their abatement. However, this Specific Plan Amendment includes provisions to permit these nonconforming uses to be expanded or redeveloped if certain conditions are met. Nonconforming uses and structures shall not be enlarged, expanded, or extended, except as expressly stated in this section, nor shall the existence of a nonconforming use or structure be a determining factor for adding other uses or structures allowed in the same land use district.

7.4.2 DEFINITIONS
The following definitions shall be applicable:

Nonconforming. “Nonconforming” means a building, structure or portion thereof, or use of building or land which does not conform to the regulations of this specific plan and which lawfully existed at the time the regulations became effective through adoption, revision or amendment
Nonconforming lot. “Nonconforming lot” means a lot, the area, dimensions or location of which was lawful prior to the adoption, revision or amendment of this specific plan, but which fails by such reason to conform to the present requirements of the specific plan.

Revised January 2025 7-11
Nonconforming structure. “Nonconforming structure” means a structure or building, the size, dimensions or location of which was lawful prior to the adoption, revision, or amendment of this specific plan, but which fails by such reason to conform to the present requirements of the specific plan.

Nonconforming use. “Nonconforming use” means a use or activity which was lawful prior to the adoption, revision or amendment of this specific plan, but which fails by such reason to conform to the present requirements of the specific plan.

7.4.3 NONCONFORMING USES
A nonconforming use shall be subject to the provisions contained in this section:

1. A nonconforming use may be altered, subject to the approval of the Development Services Director or his / her designee. The Director shall have the discretion to approve uses that are expanded or modified by less than ten per cent (10%) of the lawful floor space or ground area existing at the time the use became nonconforming.

2. For a nonconforming use of land not involving a structure, the use may not be moved, in whole or in part, from the location it occupied at the time the use became nonconforming to any other portion of the lot or parcel upon which it is located, unless there exists proof of intent to occupy such area or location on the lot or parcel prior to the time the use of land became nonconforming. Expansions or modifications of ten per cent (10%) or greater shall be referred to the Planning Commission.

3. If no structural alterations are proposed, a nonconforming use of a structure may be changed to another nonconforming use of lesser intensity, or closer to conformity with the underlying designation, provided the Director determines that the proposed use is of lesser intensity or more appropriate to the land use district than the existing nonconforming use. In permitting such a change, the Director may impose conditions to ensure that the degree of nonconformity is not subsequently increased, along with such other conditions as are necessary to mitigate any adverse impacts of the changed use upon neighboring properties.

4. If a nonconforming use is superseded by an allowed use, such use shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the land use district in which it is located, and the nonconforming use may not be resumed.

7.4.4 NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES
A nonconforming structure may be continued in use so long as it is in compliance with all codes, ordinances and laws of the City and, other than building code regulations as set forth in the Colton Municipal Code, subject to the following provisions:

1. If a nonconforming structure or nonconforming portion of a structure is destroyed by any means to an extent of more than fifty percent (50%) of its reasonable replacement value at the time of destruction, it may not be reconstructed except in conformity with the provisions of this Specific Plan Amendment.

7.0 │ ADMINISTRATION
Revised January 2025 7-12
Exception: a nonconforming residential structure may be reconstructed in any district that allows such a use if it meets all building and safety regulations, and if, to the extent reasonable and feasible, the construction conforms with the regulations of this Specific Plan.

2. If a structure is moved for any reason for any distance, it shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the land use district into which it is relocated.

3. If a nonconforming structure is abandoned or vacated for one-hundred eighty days or more, any subsequent use of the property shall conform with the regulations of the land use district in which it is located.

4. The provisions of this section shall not apply to billboards.

Nonconforming billboards shall be terminated in accordance with applicable provisions of the California Outdoor Advertising Act and the Colton sign code.

7.4.5 NONCONFORMING LOTS
Any lot that becomes nonconforming upon adoption of this Specific Plan may be used or built upon, provided that the development project otherwise conforms to the requirements of this Specific Plan.

SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT
Any lot that, by action of the City of Colton or any other government agency, becomes nonconforming by means of condemnation, acquisition, or dedication shall be allowed to apply the standards for the lot in effect prior to the agency action.

7.4.6 OTHER NONCONFORMITIES
This section shall apply to any other circumstance which does not conform to the requirements of this Specific Plan including, but not limited to, nonconforming fence heights or location; lack of buffers or screening; lack of or inadequate landscaping; lack of or inadequate off-street parking; and any other nonconformity created by adoption of this Specific Plan. Because nonconformities addressed in this section involve less investment and are more easily corrected than those addressed in Sections 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5 of this section, the intent of this Specific Plan is to eliminate such nonconformities as quickly as practicable. The following shall apply:

1. Non-conforming development with approved site plan or conditional use permit. A non-conforming development that is consistent with a site plan or conditional use permit approved before the effective date of this Specific Plan shall be deemed to be in conformance with this Specific Plan to the extent that it is consistent with the approved site plan and to the extent that such development conforms to all conditions imposed thereon.

A nonconformity, other than one of those enumerated in Sections 7.4.3,

7.4.4 or 7.4.5 of this section, shall be brought into conformance upon the occurrence of any one of the following:

Revised January 2025 7-13
a. Any increase of more than fifteen (15) percent floor area or fifty (50) percent value of the building or premises.
b. For a lot or parcel located in a commercial or industrial zone, any change in use to a more intensive use when a new certificate of occupancy is requested.

2. In no event shall the extent of such nonconformities be increased or expanded.

7.4.7 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
On any nonconforming structure, and on any conforming structure containing a nonconforming use, routine maintenance work may be performed, and nonbearing walls, fixtures, wiring, or plumbing may be repaired or replaced; provided that:

1. The value of the repair and replacement work during any twelve-month period does not exceed ten percent of the replacement cost of the entire structure; and

2. The square footage of the structure that is nonconforming or has a nonconforming use is not increased.

7.4.8 ABANDONMENT
Any nonconforming use, structure, or other nonconformity which is not thus occupied or so used for a continuous period of one hundred eighty days (6 months) shall be deemed abandoned and shall not thereafter be re-occupied or used except in a manner that conforms to the requirements of this specific plan.

1. Presumption of Abandonment. A nonconforming use, structure, or other nonconformity shall be presumed abandoned when any of the following occurs:
a. The owner or authorized representative has in writing or by public statement indicated intent to abandon the use, structure, or other nonconformity; b. A less intensive use has replaced the original nonconforming use; c. The owner or authorized representative has physically changed the structure or its permanent equipment in such a way as to indicate a change in use or activity to something other than the nonconforming use; or
d. The structure has been removed through applicable procedures for the condemnation of unsafe structures.
e. Electric utility service has been terminated for 180 days or more.

2. Overcoming Presumption of Abandonment. A presumption of abandonment may be rebutted upon evidence presented by the owner or authorized representative showing no intent to abandon the use, structure, or other nonconformity. Such evidence may include proof that

7.0 │ ADMINISTRATION
Revised January 2025 7-14
during the alleged period of abandonment the owner or authorized representative has done either of the following:
a. Maintained the lot and structure, if any, in accordance with the building code; or
b. Has actively and continuously marketed the lot or structure for sale or lease.

7.4.9 DETERMINATION OF NONCONFORMING STATUS
In all cases where the nonconformity of a use, structure or lot is at issue, the property owner or authorized representative shall have the burden of establishing that a nonconforming lot, structure, or use lawfully exists pursuant to laws applicable at the time it was established or constructed.

7.4.10 NONCONFORMING USES DETRIMENTAL TO HEALTH AND
SAFETY

7.5 ENFORCEMENT

PURPOSE AND INTENT
This section establishes provisions for the enforcement of all provisions, standards, regulations, and guidelines in the CHCCSP. It is intended to provide the City with flexibility in determining appropriate remedies to use in case of any violation. As a result, all herein described penalties are cumulative in nature.

DECLARATION OF UNLAWFULNESS AND PUBLIC NUISANCE

Staff Report
Meeting Date: July 15, 2025
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Charles Berry, Electric Utility Director
Item Name: Agreement - Blais & Associates - Approve Agreement with Blais & Associates for Grant Writing Services.

Recommended Action:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Waive the formal bidding process in accordance with Colton Municipal Code 3.08.140 (E) and approve a $29,000 professional services agreement for Blais and Associates to provide grant-writing services to apply for the Community Energy Reliability & Resilience Investment (CERRI) grant program; and,

2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute all documents related to the applications.

Background:

The City of Colton currently has a contract with Blais and Associates for grant writing services out of the City Manager's Office. The current proposal for grant-writing services to apply for the CERRI grant program is for $29,000, which when totaled with other City grant applications, could exceed the City Manager's $50,000 limit when combined with the existing contract.

Blais and Associates are uniquely qualified due to their extensive experience and proven success in securing grants for the City of Colton. They have a well-documented history of:
• Successfully obtaining grants from State and Federal departments for the City of Colton. • Demonstrating a deep understanding of the specific requirements and expectations of these funding bodies.
• Providing tailored services that align precisely with our City’s objectives.

Proven Performance and Results
Blais & Associates' previous work with the City of Colton has consistently resulted in:
• High-quality, compelling grant proposals that align with funding agency guidelines. • A high success rate in securing funding, including Department of Energy Block Grants and Department of Toxic Substances Control grants in previous Fiscal Years (FY).

Specialized Knowledge
The vendor possesses specialized knowledge and skills that are crucial for our specific needs, including:
• In-depth familiarity with the grant project, as they had recently applied for a State grant application for the Strategic Growth Council Program grant, which the City scored high. • Expertise in federal grant applications.

Time Sensitivity
The current timeline for grant applications necessitates immediate and dedicated support. Blais & Associates has demonstrated their ability to start work promptly and deliver high-quality proposals within tight deadlines. Their established processes and familiarity with the City’s needs ensure that the City can meet critical submission deadlines.

Due to Blais & Associates’ demonstrated success and established familiarity with the City of Colton, staff recommends waiving the competitive bidding process pursuant to Colton Municipal Code Section 3.08.140(E), which allows the City Manager to waive formal bidding for NonPublic Projects when it is determined to be in the best interest of the City and its administrative operations
Issues/Analysis:

The Community Energy Reliability & Resilience Investment (CERRI) Program is a competitive grant initiative that supports grid hardening and resilience projects throughout California. The program aims to enhance energy reliability, reduce the frequency and impact of power outages, and ensure that communities, particularly those most vulnerable, have consistent access to clean, affordable, and dependable energy.

CERRI directly supports California’s climate and energy goals while advancing energy equity and driving local economic development. Project funding is prioritized for initiatives that deliver tangible community benefits and align with statewide policy objectives.

Program Objectives:
• Enhance Energy Reliability and Resilience
Reduce the frequency, duration, and severity of power outages and strengthen community capacity to maintain essential services during emergencies. • Deliver Equitable Community Benefits

Direct resources toward priority communities, including low-income, disadvantaged, and tribal populations, and those with critical energy resilience needs. • Advance State Energy and Climate Goals
Accelerate California’s transition to a clean energy future through strategic infrastructure investments.
• Promote Workforce Development
Create high-quality, family-sustaining jobs with strong labor protections, and invest in workforce training for long-term careers in the clean energy sector.

Proposed Use of CERRI Funds
If awarded, CERRI funding would support critical infrastructure improvements, including:
• Utility Pole Management and Power Line Relocation
Rebuilding and rerouting an existing 66-kilovolt (kV) transmission line to accommodate future development. The new 0.75-mile line will include approximately 20 poles spaced around 200 feet apart, with guy wires as needed.
• Deployment of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)
Construction of resilience-enhancing DERs, including a 5 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) integrated with a 1 MW solar array at the Agua Mansa Power Plant.

These components will form part of a microgrid to bolster system adaptability and maintain power during outages.

Following internal review, staff have concluded that this proposed project strongly aligns with the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) priority investment areas, including:
• Utility Pole Management
• Power Line Relocation
• Deployment and Construction of Distributed Energy Resources Fiscal Impacts:

Sufficient appropriations for grant-writing services for the Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grants Program are budgeted and available in the FY2026 adopted budget in account Electric Utility Fund, Environmental Sustainability and Conservation Division, Professional Services Account Number 520-8000-8005-2350-0923-000.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: July 15, 2025
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Anthony Vega, Chief of Police
Item Name: Agreement - AXON Enterprise, Inc. - Approve an Agreement with AXON Enterprise, Inc. for Seventy-Five (75) Body Worn Cameras, Seventy-Five (75) Tasers, Fusus Pro Licenses, and Associated Equipment and Software.

Recommended Action:

Staff recommends the City Council dispense with competitive bidding in accordance with Colton Municipal Code Section 3.08.140(e) and approve a five-year agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc., for $1,587,796.89 for the purchase and implementation of the Officer Safety Plan 10 Plus, Axon Fusus Pro Licenses, body-worn cameras, Taser 10 units, virtual reality training systems, data management software, and related services and warranties.

Background:

The Colton Police Department currently utilizes Axon technologies for officer safety, evidence management, and transparency. The existing Axon agreement is scheduled to terminate on September 15, 2025, and the department seeks to maintain continuity by transitioning to Axon’s latest bundled platform — the Officer Safety Plan 10 Plus — which includes upgrades to hardware, enhanced training tools, and a full suite of data integration services.

This updated plan also incorporates Axon Fusus Pro, a real-time crime center platform that enhances situational awareness by integrating video feeds, GPS, body camera footage, and mapping systems.

Issues/Analysis:

The proposed agreement includes the following major components:
• 75 Body-Worn Cameras (Axon Body 4) with mounting equipment, multi-bay docks, and tap refresh replacements during the contract term
• 75 TASER 10 Units, holsters, magazines (live, training, inert), and replacement cartridges • Axon Fusus Pro and Basic Licenses supporting 75 officers, along with 150 CCTV stream

licenses
• Unlimited Axon Evidence Storage and Redaction Assistant Licenses • Virtual Reality Training System, including VR headsets, tablets, controllers, and training content
• Axon Signal and associated installation services
• Warranties on key hardware components throughout the five-year term Axon has provided a bundled discount of over $674,000 off the list price, with an annual cost of approximately $315,914.75, beginning August 2025. The pricing also includes a net transfer debit adjustment to accommodate the termination of the previous Axon contract.

Because this agreement ensures continuity of mission-critical public safety equipment and software already in use and integrates with current operations, staff respectfully requests an exemption from the competitive bidding process pursuant to Colton Municipal Code (CMC) Section 3.08.140 – Exceptions to Competitive Bidding – Non-Public Projects, specifically Subsection (e):
"Purpose of Bidding is Otherwise Accomplished. When the City Manager determines that it is in the best interest of the City and its administrative operations to dispense with public bidding for Non-Public Projects under this chapter. Prior City Council concurrence with the City Manager's determination shall be required for Non-Public Project purchases over one hundred thousand dollars.

Fiscal Impacts:

Sufficient appropriations are available for the first contract year in the FY 2025-26 budget in General Fund Police Administration Safety Equipment Account # 100-6070-6071-1180-0000- 000. A five-year contract commitment requires additional ongoing appropriations for years two through five of the agreement in the following amounts:
• Year 1: $324,137.92
• Years 2–5: $315,914.74 each year

Staff Report
Meeting Date: July 15, 2025
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Chad Blais, PW & Utility Services Director Item Name: Bond Release - DAP-001-800 - Approve Release of the Payment and Performance, and Maintenance Bonds for DAP-001-800 (Donut Star) at 736 W. Valley Blvd. – APN: 0162- 122-09 and 0162-122-10
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Authorize staff to release Payment and Performance Bonds, including any riders, for completed improvements for DAP-001-800 (Donut Star) located at 736 W. Valley Blvd. with APN: 0162-122-09 and 0162-122-10.

2. Authorize Staff to release Maintenance Bonds one full year after formal City acceptance of public improvements for DAP-001-800 (Donut Star) located at 736 W. Valley Blvd. with APN: 0162-122-09 and 0162-122-10.

Background:

On June 13, 2023, the Planning Commission of the City of Colton approved DAP-001-800, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), an Administrative Architectural & Site Plan Review Application, and a Major Certificate of Appropriateness to allow the construction of a new 2,013 square foot donut shop with a drive-thru drive-up window (no menu boards proposed) and one (1) replacement 1,056 sf single family home with an attached 2-car garage on lot measuring 15,000 square feet and Zoned C-2 (General Commercial) and located in the Terrace Historic District.

Donut Star, the drive-thru donut shop is situated at 736 West Valley Boulevard.

Construction of the drive-thru donut shop and residential home is now complete, including applicable required public improvements. Final inspection was provided by the Public Works and Utility Inspector.

Issues/Analysis:

Bond submittal as a means to guarantee construction of public improvements prior to the start of construction is a standard condition of approval for development projects in accordance with City policies and the Subdivision Map Act. Such public improvements include street, sewer, and drainage improvements. Per City of Colton Municipal Code § 16.56 and Chapter 5 of the Subdivision Map Act (SMA), the developer had the option to submit guarantees via formal Bonds or Cash in-lieu of Bonds. The developer opted to submit cash-in-lieu of Bonds for the required Performance and Labor and Materials Bonds, including Maintenance and Warranty.

Receipts are included as Exhibit A. Bond amounts are summarized as follows:

Bond Type Amount
Performance Bond $ 20,400.00
Labor and Materials (Payment) Bond $ 20,400.00
Maintenance and Warranty Bond $ 2,040.00
Total $ 42,840.00
Government Code Section 66499(b) authorizes the City Council to release bonds if the improvements are completed. The Maintenance and Warranty Bonds are required to remain in place for a period of one (1) full year as a warranty for the constructed public improvements.

The Payment and Performance Bonds (Cash in-lieu of Bonds) will be released/refunded immediately after City Council approval.

Fiscal Impacts:

There are no fiscal impacts to release the Payment and Performance Bonds. After Maintenance Bonds are released, funding for public improvements constructed through this project will be maintained by the Streets Division maintenance budget.

Alternatives:

1. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: July 15, 2025
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Chad Blais, PW & Utility Services Director Item Name: Budget Amendment - CR&R Disposal Services - Approve and Adopt a Resolution to amend the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Public Works Budget for Solid Waste Professional Services and Streets Professional Services, RESOLUTION NO. R-54-25.

Recommended Action:

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:

Approve Resolution R-54-25 amending the FY 2024-2025 Public Works Budget to increase appropriations in the Solid Waste Professional Services Expenditure Account by $300,000 for Residential Refuse Services, and to increase appropriations in the Streets Professional Services Expenditure Account by $100,000 for Municipal Disposal Services.

Background:

In 2017 CR&R purchased the right to provide municipal solid waste collection services in the City of Colton from Republic Services. The terms and conditions of CR&R Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) service do not change from the original Franchise Agreement with Republic Services.

On December 20, 2022, City Council approved Resolution R-130-22 providing for annual adjustments in CR&R’s refuse collection rates. Pursuant to the Resolution there was a rate adjustment effective January 1, 2023, and another on July 1, 2023.

A Second Amendment to the agreement with CR&R was approved by City Council on July 16, 2024, that will extend the contract period, freeze residential rates through June 30, 2026, stipulate funding to the City, and provide various updates to other services.

Issues/Analysis:

Refuse expenditures in the Solid Waste Professional Services fund exceeded the original budget projections for fiscal year 2024-25 due to unexpected legal fees. Additionally, the cost of the City’s Municipal Solid Waste service (Billable Tonnage) has risen due to increased cleanup requests for crime scene/homeless encampments, illegal dumping, and residential clean-up events (the City is allowed 300 free tons per fiscal year and is charged for any tonnage beyond that).

Therefore, staff is hereby requesting approval to increase appropriations for Fiscal Year 2024- 2025 by $400,000 to pay for CR&R monthly invoices, legal fees, and the municipal solid waste billable tonnage overages through June 30, 2025.

Fiscal Impacts:

Approval of R-54-25 will amend the FY 2024-2025 budget to:
• Increase appropriations in Solid Waste Fund Professional Services Account Number 523-6150-6163-2350-0000-000 by $300,000.
• Increase appropriations in Public Works Streets Professional Services Account Number 100-6150-6160-2350-0000-000 by $100,000.

Alternatives:

Provide alternative direction to staff.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: July 15, 2025
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Anthony Vega, Chief of Police
Item Name: Contract Award - AALRR - Approve the Contract Agreement with Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo (AALRR) for Professional Legal Services.

Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Dispense with competitive bidding under Colton Municipal Code Section 3.08.140 (e) and approve a contract with Atkinson, Andelson, Loya Ruud & Romo (AALRR) for professional legal services related to personnel, labor relations, and administrative investigations for an amount not to exceed $800,000; and,

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year agreement with the option to renew for an additional three years.

Background:

Since 2019, AALRR has provided professional labor and employment legal services to the City of Colton through a contract with the Human Resources Department. Their services have supported successful labor negotiations, employment-related legal matters, and personnel investigations. City Council recently extended its contract with AALRR during the July 16, 2024 meeting.

Given the overlap in personnel and labor-related legal matters between departments, and AALRR’s established knowledge of the City’s policies, procedures, and labor environment, the Police Department seeks to leverage the existing relationship by “piggybacking” onto the current City contract.

Issues/Analysis:

The Police Department regularly requires legal services to address internal personnel investigations, labor and employment matters, and policy consultations. AALRR has a proven
