City Profile
Incorporated in 1896, Corona is an ethnically diverse city with industrial, retail, and commercial employment opportunities; public programs, amenities, and parkland for residents; and cultural and historical museums and sites. The City has experienced rapid urbanization over the last 25 years, with residential development occurring primarily in the southern, northeastern, and western portions of the City. While the City’s roots were in the agricultural industry, the City of Corona has transformed over the past fifty years into the 31st most populated city in California. Noted for its schools, recreational opportunities, and historic/cultural amenities, the City is known for its high degree of livability.

The City is projected to reach a population of approximately 185,100 people by 2045.

Corona is in the northwestern portion of Riverside County, near the convergence of San Bernardino, Orange, and Riverside counties, about 45 miles southeast of Los Angeles. The City is bordered by Norco to the north, Riverside to the east, Orange County to the west, and Riverside County to the south. Two major freeways transect Corona: the Riverside Freeway (SR-91) runs east-west directly north of the City’s center, and Interstate 15 (I-15) runs north-south near the eastern edge of the City. In Corona, the General Plan covers all 39.2 square miles within City limits and provides input to Riverside County for the planning of 35.2 square miles within the City’s Sphere-of-Influence (SOI), which includes Coronita, Home Gardens, El Cerrito, and Temescal Valley.

What is a General Plan?
California Government Code Section 65350 requires each local jurisdiction to create and adopt a “General Plan”. A General Plan is a comprehensive, long-term vision document that guides the physical development a city, as well as land outside the city that has a relationship to its future planning and growth.

A General Plan is comprised of goals intended to be achieved over a period of 20 or more years. These goals are supported by written policies and standards, as well as maps and diagrams.

A General Plan is required to include eight “elements”, or topics, which are often reflected as chapters in the General Plan. These mandatory elements include the following:
• Land Use Element
• Circulation Element
• Housing Element
• Conservation Element
• Open-Space element
• Noise Element
• Safety Element
• Environmental Justice Element
2 Corona General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2021 Each of the required elements listed above may be combined within one or more chapters of a General Plan (e.g.., a General Plan can have an open Space/conservation chapter).

What is a General Plan Annual Progress Report?
The California Government Code Section 65400 requires cities to prepare a General Plan Annual Progress Report (GPAPR) each year. The GPAPR outlines the status and progress in implementing a City’s General Plan by summarizing activities, projects and decisions within a calendar year that relate to the General Plan’s goals and objectives. The GPAPR reflects the preceding calendar year, and must be submitted to the City Council, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD).

This report has been prepared to fulfill the City of Corona’s obligation to prepare an APR for calendar year 2021. Additionally, it is intended to be a companion document to the Housing Element Annual Progress Report (HEAPR), which the Corona City Council reviewed on March 16, 2022, and the City submitted to OPR and HCD on March 17, 2022.

And finally, this report has been prepared after reviewing OPR’s General Plan APR Guidance Memo, dated January 20, 2022. This General Plan APR (GPAPR) was approved by the City Council at its meeting of May 18, 2022.

General Plan 2020-2040 & Development Policies
First Citywide Comprehensive Plan
The City of Corona’s first “General Plan” was prepared in 1955 and adopted in 1956, and was titled The Master Plan, City of Corona California. The Master Plan took “…eight months of intensive study, including consideration and evidence received at two public hearings… [and] conferences were held with representatives of interested agencies, [such] as: State Highway Department, County Planning, School Board, County Flood Control, U.S. Engineers, Chamber of Commerce… labor organizations, agencies within the city government, and other individuals and agencies who could contribute information of value to the work.”
1 This collaboration is indicative of the City’s history of civic engagement and collaborative spirit, which continues to this day.

At the time of its adoption, The Master Plan identified principally as a transitioning agrarian community with a population of less than 12,000 residents. However, given its favorable location within proximity to the growing Los Angeles metropolitan area, and cities of Riverside and San Bernardino, The Master Plan set forth measures to accommodate significant growth, including residential districts to support a population of 42,000 residents, commercial districts to accommodate a retail trade area of 70,000 people, and new industrial areas to capitalize on technology and manufacturing opportunities.
1 Explanatory Statement to accompany Master Plan, Corona, California; Ferdinand R. Iwasko, Planning Consultant; February 1956
3 Corona General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2021 General Plan 2020-2040
Over time the General Plan has been amended and re-visioned to accommodate the City’s growing population and industrial and commercial bases. Today the City has almost 170,000 residents2 and an employment base of over 82,700 people3.

The current General Plan is relatively new, having undergone a comprehensive update in 2019/2020. General Plan 2020-2040 reflects current conditions, including the fact that the City is approaching buildout of vacant land within it’s boundaries, and must accommodate new “growth” through the redevelopment of underutilized properties in the Downtown area and major transit corridors.

General Plan 2020-2040 includes the eight mandatory elements, and numerous elective elements. The chart below shows the existing General Plan elements.

City of Corona General Plan Housing Element Update for
Planning Period 2021-2029 for the 6th Cycle
Regional Housing Needs Assessment.

Climate Action Plan
The 2020 update to the City’s General Plan coincided with an update to the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP), which was originally adopted in 2012, and revised in 2019.

The City’s first CAP was prepared in response to Assembly Bill 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. The City’s CAP is based on a community inventory of greenhouse gases (GHG), and predicts a forecast of GHGs within the City, and sets reduction targets in accordance with the State’s GHG Scoping Plan. The State’s Scoping Plan demonstrates how California will reduce statewide GHG emissions according to the targets in the Plan. The Scoping Plan requires statewide GHG emissions to be reduced to 1990 levels by 2020; 40% below 1990 levels by 2030; and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.

The City CAP was updated in 2019, and included an update on the City’s GHG emissions inventory. The update established that the City emitted approximately 1.7 million metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent (MMT CO2e) in its 2008baseline year. The largest portion of the City’s 2008 emissions were from transportation (48 percent), followed by emissions from electricity and natural gas used in buildings (44 percent).

For the purposes of the 2019 CAP, the City completed a 2016 emissions inventory for community-wide sectors and compared the emissions to the inventory in 2008. The 2016 inventory indicated that the City emitted approximately 1.1 MMT CO2e, which is approximately 35 percent lower than 2008 levels of emissions. This reduction is substantially below the 15% reduction required by 2020 in the State’s Scoping Plan. The largest portion of emissions in the 2016 inventory came from transportation, which was 46 percent of the City’s total GHG emissions. This is approximately a 1 percent reduction compared to the 2008 emissions inventory. Commercial and residential energy (both electricity and natural gas) uses were the second and third largest contributor of GHG emissions with 31 percent and 16 percent of total emissions, respectively which is also approximately 1 percent reduction of emissions when compared with 2008. 5 Corona General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2021 Solid waste accounted for 5 percent of total GHG emissions in 2016 (solid waste was 2 percent in 2008). This was an increase in emissions of approximately 20,000 MT CO2e.

Water-related GHG emissions accounted for 2 percent of total GHG emissions, and wastewater and off-road sectors emitted less than 1 percent. These levels of emissions are approximately the same when compared with the 2008 emissions inventory.

The 2019 CAP sets interim goals for 2030 and 2040 that put Corona toward the State’s long-term goal of reducing GHG emissions 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. The interim goal for 2030 is to reduce emissions to 890,378 MT CO2e, which is 49% below 2008 levels; and reduce emissions by 2030 to 593,585 MT CO2e, which is 66% below 2008 levels.

In addition to the technical programs necessary to reduce the City’s carbon footprint and meet GHG targets, the 2019 CAP recognizes that disadvantaged populations may require assistance in adapting to climate change and sets forth strategies to better respond to groups at higher risk. These strategies include:
• Increase public outreach and educational programs to inform the public of health and safety resources
• Assist in facilitating access to cooling centers for the public • Provide information about available low-income weatherization programs and identify other outreach methods to increase visibility and familiarity with these programs
• Educate the public on the benefits of improved occupant comfort and reduced utility bills
2021-2029 Housing Element Update
Consistent with the State’s 6th housing element cycle, the City prepared a significant update to the General Plan’s Housing Element, which was adopted by the City Council on November 3, 2021, and received by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on November 5, 2021.

The 2021-2029 Housing Element is comprised of the following major components:
• Introduction: A brief overview of the purpose and background for the Housing Element.
• Community Profile: An assessment of Corona’s demographic and housing market characteristics and their correlation to housing needs in the community. • Constraints to the Provision of Housing: An analysis of the various market, governmental, and environmental constraints in the City and their impact on the development and preservation of housing in Corona.
• Housing Opportunities and Resources: An inventory of land, financial, and administrative resources available to facilitate housing development in Corona.

Opportunities for energy conservation are also discussed. • Housing Plan: An outline of the City’s proposed actions and objectives over the next eight years in addressing the housing needs of the community and complying with State law.
6 Corona General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2021 The preparation of the 6th Cycle Housing Element included various opportunities for residents and community stakeholders to provide input on housing and community development issues. The City’s community outreach efforts are summarized as follows:
• City hosted a webpage dedicated to the Housing Element Update. Relevant information was posted online, such as an overview of state legislation and purpose of housing elements; drafts of the housing element update; flyers advertising community engagement opportunities; responses and outcomes of surveys; etc.
• On January 21, 2021, the City held a joint public study session meeting with the Planning and Housing Commission and City Council to review the Housing Element process.
• On February 16, 2021 and February 18, 2021, the City conducted stakeholder meetings for the Housing Element Update. A flyer advertising the workshops was sent to members of the City’s contact list, which included approximately 75 service providers, housing professionals, and community stakeholders. • The City provided a short presentation about the Housing Element update and led a discussion on the challenges and opportunities regarding housing needs, special populations, and policies and programs that could be incorporated into the Housing Element Update.
• The City circulated a community engagement survey January 25, 2021 to March 5, 2021 to collect input from Corona residents and housing and services providers.

The survey asked questions regarding current living situations and opinions on various housing issues and approaches. A total of 260 responses were received. • The City sent a letter to the property owners of sites that may be rezoned and/or may be included in one of the two proposed Affordable Housing Overlays (AHOs). • The Draft Housing Element was made available to the public on June 18, 2021.

City staff also prepared an administrative report on the availability of the draft Housing Element that was submitted to the Planning and Housing Commission at its meeting on June 21, 2021.

Development Projects and Infrastructure Investments
The City of Corona is nearing build-out, as the amount of undeveloped land within Corona’s jurisdictional boundaries is limited, and future growth and development is likely to occur by redeveloping underutilized properties in older areas. Much of the existing undeveloped lands are in the most southern part of Corona, and many of these areas are currently entitled or under construction. The following sections provide context for development in calendar year 2021.

Housing Element Annual Progress Report
On March 16, 2022, the Corona City Council approved the City’s Housing Element Annual Progress Report (HEAPR). The HEAPR was submitted on March 17, 2022 to the State’s Housing and Community Development (HCD) and Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR). The HEAPR informs the City, OPR, and HCD about Corona’s progress 7 Corona General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2021 toward fulfilling its housing obligations, and includes a detailed inventory of housing development during the 5th Housing Element period, including calendar year 2021. HCD and OPR confirmed receipt of the City’s HEAPR on April 1, 2022 and April 7, 2022, respectively.

City of Corona Strategic Plan for 2021-2026
In early 2021 the City Council adopted a five-year strategic plan, to provide a “destination” for the City and a path to achieve it. The plan was created with contributions from City stakeholders, including more than 1,000 members of the community.
