CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 18, 2022
SECTION:
ADMINISTRATIVE
REPORT/DISCUSSION/ACTION
RECOMMENDATION: That if the City Council desires to meet virtually without posting the agenda at each location from where each Councilmember attends, that the City Council make findings authorizing remote teleconference/virtual meetings of the City Council pursuant to Assembly Bill 361 (“AB 361”) based on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: That if the City Council desires to meet virtually without posting the agenda at each location from where each Councilmember attends, that the City Council make findings authorizing remote teleconference/virtual meetings of the City Council pursuant to Assembly Bill 361 based on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, that the City Council determine that the COVID-19 state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor still exists and has been considered by the City Council in deciding to have teleconference meetings and one of the two following secondary findings be made: that state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID-19, or, that as result of the COVID-19 emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. It is recommended that both secondary findings be made. If these initial findings are made, and going forward the City Council desires to meet without the requirement of posting the agenda at each location and allowing members of the public to attend from any of the posted locations, the City Council must make these findings every thirty (30) days.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The Brown Act generally allows for teleconference or virtual meetings, provided that the physical locations of the legislative body’s members joining by teleconference are posted on the agenda, that those locations are open to the public and that a quorum of the members is located within its jurisdiction. AB 361 provides an exception to these procedures in order to allow for fully virtual meetings during proclaimed emergencies, including the COVID-19 pandemic without posting the 10 agenda at each teleconference location and allowing the public access to each location.
Since March of 2020 and the issuance of Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-29-20, which suspended portions of the Brown Act relating to teleconferencing, the City Council and other City legislative bodies, though not continuously, have held some virtual meetings without having to post the location of the legislative body members attending virtually. In June of 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which provided that the exceptions contained in EO N-29-20 would sunset on September 30, 2021. Legislative bodies under the Brown Act includes committees of the City.
On September 10, 2021, the Legislature adopted AB 361, which allows public agencies to hold fully virtual meetings under certain circumstances without the posting of the agenda from each location a legislative body member is attending. Governor Newsom signed the bill into law on September 16, 2021. Because it contained an urgency provision, it took immediate effect.
Specific Findings Required under AB 361
Under AB 361, the City Council can hold meetings without a public meeting space and without providing notice of the body’s teleconference locations, if the City Council makes the determination that there is a Governor-proclaimed state of emergency which the City Council considers in their determination, and one of two secondary criteria listed below exists:
State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID-19; or
The City Council determines that requiring a meeting in person would present an imminent risk to the health and safety of attendees.
COVID-19 continues to present an imminent threat to the health and safety of City Council members, and City staff, and the Governor’s declaration of a COVID-19 emergency still exists.
Although vaccines are now widely available, many people in the State and County are still not fully vaccinated and remain susceptible to infection. The disease can still spread rapidly through personto-person contact and those in close proximity. Further, more contagious variants of the disease are now present in the State and County, the most predominant of which is the Omicron variant.
Because AB 361 is unclear if the City’s committees must make these findings as well, the City Council as the governing legislative body of the City, will make these findings on behalf of City committees that are required to comply with the Brown Act.
Re-Authorization is Required Every 30 Days
Consistent with the provisions of Government Code Section 54953(e), the findings listed above must be made every 30 days “after teleconferencing for the first time” under AB 361. Thus, if the City Council desires to meet remotely without having to post the location of each teleconference location, the City Council must find that the COVID-19 emergency still exists and that one of the two following findings can be made: that state or local officials have imposed or recommended 11 measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID-19, or, that a result of the COVID19 emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. The City Council may extend the authorization for an additional thirty (30) days via another resolution or staff report on a consent calendar that makes the above specific findings in support of continuing virtual meetings.
Lastly, it is important to note that AB 361 is optional. If the City Council wishes, it may choose to meet fully in person and open to the public, or meet remotely with notices of the agenda posted at each location and access to the public at each noticed location. The authorization under AB 361 is intended to provide the option to utilize the AB 361 procedures in lieu of the Brown Act’s standard teleconferencing requirements. A consent calendar item will be placed on each agenda to reauthorize remote meetings if that is the City Council’s direction.
Consequences of not Following Recommended Action
As noted above, AB 361 is optional. If the City Council wishes, it may choose to meet fully in person, or meet remotely with notices of the agenda posted at each location and access to the public at each noticed location. However, to hold remote teleconference/virtual meetings, the City Council must make specific findings required by AB 361 as they are enumerated in this staff report to allow meetings to continue without the requirement of posting the agenda at each location and allowing members of the public to attend from any of the posted locations.
CONCLUSION: Staff and the City Attorney recommend the City Council authorize the City Council and the City’s committees to meet remotely pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown Act and Assembly Bill 361.

And COVID-19 continues to present an imminent threat to the health and safety of City Council members and City staff. Although vaccines are now widely available, many people in the State and County 13 are still not fully vaccinated and remain susceptible to infection. The disease can still spread rapidly through person-to-person contact and those in close proximity. Further, more contagious variants of the disease are now present in the State and County, the most predominant of which is the Omicron variant; and
WHEREAS, the City has an interest in encouraging public participation in open and public meetings while protecting the health, safety and welfare of those who participate.

SUBJECT: A PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING JANUARY AS NATIONAL BLOOD DONOR MONTH
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 18, 2022
SECTION:
SPECIAL CEREMONIES
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council proclaim the month of January 2022 as National Blood Donor Month and support the efforts of blood centers and community organizations efforts to encourage blood donations.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Encourage, Provide or Support Enhanced Recreational, Educational, Cultural and Healthy City Programs, Policies and Activities
FISCAL IMPACT: There is not a direct fiscal impact associated with this action.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: On December 31, 1969, the President of the United States signed a proclamation designating January as National Blood Donor Month to honor voluntary blood donors and encourage more people to give blood. Blood donation plays an essential role in ensuring Southern California's hospitals and medical centers have a readily and available blood supply to treat all residents and visitors, making a sufficient supply a public health priority both locally and nationally.
18 PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, blood donation plays an essential role in ensuring Southern California’s hospitals and medical centers have a readily available blood supply to treat all residents and visitors, making a sufficient supply a public health priority both locally and nationally; and WHEREAS, less than 3% of the U.S. population donate blood, although it is necessary to note that 38% of Americans are actually eligible to donate; and
WHEREAS, a single donation of whole blood has the potential to help save lives up to three patients, underscoring the importance of constantly replenishing our blood supply through donations and community awareness; and
WHEREAS, donating blood is particularly important during the winter months, when obstacles such as weather, winter illness, and busy holiday schedules may contribute to fewer blood donations; and WHEREAS, this year in particular, as folks across our state and throughout the world continue the work to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, we recognize the role of blood donation in supporting our healthcare delivery system; and
WHEREAS, more than 50 years ago, on December 31, 1969, the President of the United States signed a proclamation designating January as National Blood Donor Month to honor voluntary blood donors and encourage more people to give blood at a time when more blood is needed; and WHEREAS, throughout the nation blood collection organizations, such as LifeStream Blood Bank, continue to experience a shortage of donors during the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in critically low levels of blood supplies while demand levels reflect that 1 in every 7 hospital patients will need blood and every 2 seconds someone needs blood
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that I, Paul S. Leon, Mayor of the City of Ontario, along with the entire City Council, proclaim the month of January 2022 as National Blood Donor Month
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that on this occasion the City Council thanks all blood donors and encourages the community to support local blood drives and blood donation efforts of LifeStream Blood Banks and other collection organizations this month and throughout the new year.
GIVEN UNDER THE CORPORATE SEAL
OF THE CITY OF ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION FOR PLACEMENT OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS ON THE SAN
BERNARDINO COUNTY TAX ROLLS
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 18, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt a Resolution for recovery of fees and costs incurred in abating property and dangerous building violations, as well as administrative citations and civil penalties associated with property maintenance violations, and placing assessments on the San Bernardino County Tax Rolls.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT: The levy of special assessments will result in the recovery of $24,584.48 in costs that the City has expended for inspection or abatement of property violations, as well as the collection of $4,120 associated with civil penalties and/or fines for continued violations, for a total of $28,704.48 related to 56 parcels. When received, these reimbursements will be deposited into the General Fund. The special assessment revenue is included in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Adopted Budget.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The City has established revolving funds to cover the City costs for abatement of property and dangerous building violations as a result of Community Improvement activities. Additionally, the City has established administrative citations and fines for property maintenance violations and fees and penalties associated with the Systematic Health and Safety Inspection Program, Abandoned and Distressed Property Program, and Weed and Refuse Abatement Program. These costs, fines, fees, and penalties are recovered through placement of special tax assessments upon the properties. The placement of special assessments and collection of revenue is done under Ordinance 3046, Property Appearance (Title 5, Chapter 22 of the Ontario Municipal Code); Chapter 9 of the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings; and, Ordinance 2920 for civil penalties for continued violations of the Ontario Municipal Code and fines associated with administrative citations (Title 1, Chapters 2 and 5 of the Ontario Municipal Code).
The City and County currently have a contractual agreement regarding implementation of special assessments; however, a Resolution authorizing the placement of the specific assessments is 42 required.
During this assessment cycle, the Community Improvement Department has billed property owners for: the abatement of violations; the issuance of fines associated with administrative citation; the issuance of fees and penalties associated with the Systematic Health and Safety Inspection Program; the issuance of registration fees and civil penalties associated with the Abandoned and Distressed Property Program; the issuance of notice and re-inspection fees; and civil penalties for the Weed and Refuse Abatement Program on 111 parcels. Of these, there are remaining amounts due on 56 parcels. Attached are itemized accounts of: (1) costs associated with inspection or abatement as shown in Exhibit A of the Resolution; (2) civil penalties and/or fines for continued violations as shown in Exhibit B of the Resolution; and (3) total amounts per parcel as shown in Exhibit C of the Resolution. The expenditure list, with any necessary corrections and adjustments, will be submitted to the County prior to August 2022 for its 2022-2023 tax rolls. All affected property owners were given notice of the imposition of special assessments via certified mail as provided in Ontario Municipal Code Section 1-4.05(a) and have either not requested an appeal or have exhausted the appellate procedure in Ontario Municipal Code Section 1-4.05(b). 43 RESOLUTION NO. ________

Agenda Report

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) between CaseWorthy, Inc. of Salt Lake City, Utah, and the City of Ontario for additional work to develop a database system for the Continuum of Care Disaster Response, adding the amount of $35,640, for a total contract amount of $211,033.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The addition of $35,640 to this Agreement will increase the total contract amount to $211,033.
Funding for the Agreement was appropriated in the Department's budget as part of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 First Quarter Budget Update.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: On December 1, 2019, the City of Ontario entered into a Professional Services Agreement with CaseWorthy, Inc. for the development of database systems for the Ontario Access Center and street outreach engagement for homeless services. These systems were developed and delivered to the City in July 2020. On May 4, 2021, the City approved Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement to develop a database system using the CaseWorthy platform to track contracts, expenditures, client demographics, and client qualifications related to the Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Program. The City now desires to develop a database system that uses the CaseWorthy platform to track motel room usage, expenditures, client demographics and outcomes related to disaster response case management activities.
The original contract amount was $97,161 and included database development and licensing for three years for a total of 20 users. Contract Amendment No. 1 was for $78,232 and included database development and licensing for the remaining two years of the original contract for an additional 10 users. Amendment No. 1 brought the overall total contract amount to $175,393. The addition of $35,640 to this Agreement will increase the total contract amount to $211,033. 53 The City of Ontario has been fortunate to experience few catastrophic events, however the explosions on March 16, 2021 led to the displacement of over 80 households. To manage the information related to the households needing additional assistance, the Continuum of Care Staff relied on a series of spreadsheets. This practice would be inadequate should the City experience a massive casualty event that required the case management of many more households.
The disaster response database will not only improve the City’s capacity to more effectively respond to the long-term needs of residents after a crisis, with consistent assessments, and tracking of resources, it also supports the development of additional features used on a year-round basis, including the motel voucher program.
The database will be used by designated City staff, and the staff of Mercy House Living Centers (“Mercy House”) under the existing licensing agreement with CaseWorthy. The City of Ontario contracts with Mercy House to administer Access Center, and outreach and housing programs.
Mercy House staff currently use the CaseWorthy database to record outreach work and will be using the TBRA database that is nearing completion. The database development for disaster response is expected to begin February 1, 2022, and conclude within 6 months, by August 30, 2022.
Final contract approval will be contingent upon successful submittal and approval of all required supporting documents.

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council accept the City of Ontario’s AB 1600 Development Impact Fee (DIF) Annual Report for Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2021 (unaudited).
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT: The Development Impact Fee (DIF) unaudited fund balance for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021, is $167,465,802. This report is submitted to the City Council for informational purposes only, as it strictly reports on the DIF funds. City Council's acceptance of the AB 1600 DIF Annual Report for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021 (unaudited), will not have a fiscal impact on the General Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: On July 1, 2003, the City Council adopted Ordinance Nos. 2779 and 2780 approving the collection of Development Impact Fees (DIF) to mitigate the impacts of future development. In accordance with the provisions of Ordinance Nos. 2779 and 2780, the City began collecting DIF on September 1, 2003; and the impact fees have been updated periodically by Resolutions of the City Council. The last update was authorized by the City Council on September 17, 2019, by Resolution No. 2019-135. This update, as well as the previous update, incorporates the results of the City's 2012 Water, Sewer, Storm Drain and Circulation Master Plan updates, along with the land use assumptions underlying the City's most recently updated General Plan (The Ontario Plan) adopted by the City Council in 2010.
California Government Code Sections §66001 and §66006 require making certain Development Impact Fee information available to the public. The City of Ontario addresses these reporting requirements through issuance of the AB 1600 DIF Annual Report along with the release of periodic updates to the City’s development impact fee calculation and nexus schedules. 55 As of the date of preparation of this report, the AB 1600 DIF Annual Report for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021, represents the unaudited DIF financials. At the completion of the City's Annual Audit, any changes, if any, will be made available on the City's website at www.ontarioca.gov/Building/Fees.
The AB 1600 DIF Annual Report for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021, consists of three schedules.
The first schedule reports each DIF category’s beginning and ending fund balances, its annual revenue and earnings, and its expenditures for the fiscal year. The second schedule provides a summary listing of DIF expenditure amounts by individual public improvement projects. The third provides the five-year findings with regards to unexpended funds, whether committed or uncommitted, from FY 2016-2017 through FY 2020-2021.
Currently, all unexpended funds are committed to future projects which are detailed in the September 2019 Master Facilities Plan. The most recently adopted update of the City’s DIF calculation and nexus schedules - Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report (September 2019) - contains the amount and purpose of each DIF, the public improvements the fees will fund and the reasonable relationship between the fees and the purposes for which they are being assessed.
The City of Ontario’s AB 1600 DIF Annual Report for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021 (unaudited), as well as the September 2019 Development Impact Fee Calculation & Nexus Report, and the September 2019 Master Facilities Plan are available for review and reference at the City’s Records Management Department and on the City’s website, specifically at www.ontarioca.gov/Building/Fees.

SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (FILE NO. PDA21- 004) BETWEEN THE CITY OF ONTARIO AND LHC ONTARIO HOLDINGS, LLC., TO
ESTABLISH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 18916 (FILE NO. PMTT21-011), AN 11.05-ACRE PROPERTY
LOCATED NEAR THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF ARCHIBALD AND CHINO AVENUES, WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD 7 LAND USE DISTRICT OF THE COUNTRYSIDE SPECIFIC PLAN, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN: 0218-111- 34 CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 18, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council consider and adopt an ordinance approving the Development Agreement (File No. PDA21-004) between the City of Ontario and LHC Ontario Holdings, LLC., to establish the terms and conditions for development of Tentative Tract Map 18916 (File No. PMTT21-011), an 11.05-acre property located near the southwest corner of Archibald and Chino Avenues, within the Neighborhood 7 land use district of the Countryside Specific Plan.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
Ensure the Development of a Well Planned, Balanced, and Self-Sustaining Community in Ontario Ranch
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed Development Agreement (File No. PDA21-004) will not have a direct impact on the City's general fund. The Development Agreement will provide funding from the formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD) for City services and facilities required to support the Countryside Specific Plan development, thereby mitigating the increased costs associated with such services. In addition, the City will receive public service funding fees plus development impact, compliance processing, licensing, and permitting fees. No General Fund revenue will be used to support the Ontario Ranch development.
65 BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: On December 21, 2021, the City Council introduced and waived further reading of an ordinance approving the Development Agreement. On April 18, 2006, the City Council certified the Environmental Impact Report (State Clearing Housing No. 2004071001) and related Countryside Specific Plan, File No. PSP04-001, (the “Specific Plan”). The Specific Plan addresses the potential development of up to 825 single-family detached residential units with connectivity to surrounding commercial and recreational facilities through a network of pedestrian sidewalks, bicycle trails, and landscaped paseos.
The Ontario Ranch financial commitments required for construction of properties within a specific plan are substantial. Therefore, in order to adequately forecast these costs and gain assurance that the project may proceed under the existing policies, rules, and regulations, LHC Ontario Holdings, LLC., (“Owner’) has requested that the City enter into negotiations to create a Development Agreement (“Agreement”).
In accordance with California Government Code Section 65865, which in part states that “[a]ny city… may enter into a Development Agreement with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real property for the development of such property…” and California Government Code Section 65865.52, which in part states that “a Development Agreement shall specify the duration of the Agreement, the permitted uses of the property… and may include conditions, terms, restrictions…,” the City of Ontario adopted Resolution No. 2002-100 setting forth the procedures and requirements for consideration of Development Agreements. Furthermore, the Financing and Construction Agreement with the NMC Builders, LLC (“NMC Builders”), requires those developments wishing to use the infrastructure it created to enter into Development Agreements with the City of Ontario. Pursuant to these procedures and requirements, Staff entered into negotiations with the Owner to create a Development Agreement for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council.
The proposed Agreement (File No. PDA21-004) is based on the model Development Agreement that was developed in coordination with the City Attorney and legal counsel for NMC Builders. This model Development Agreement is consistent with the provisions of the Construction Agreement.
The terms of the agreement between NMC Builders’ members requires that members of the LLC enter into Development Agreements that are consistent with the provisions of the Construction Agreement.
The Agreement proposes to include 11.05 acres of land within the Neighborhood 7 land use district of the Countryside Specific Plan, as shown on the attached Exhibit A. The Agreement grants the Owner a vested right to develop Tentative Tract Map 18916 (the “Map”), provided the Owner complies with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Specific Plan, and EIR. The Map (see attached Exhibit B) is located near the southwest corner of Archibald and Chino Avenues and proposes to subdivide approximately 11.05 acres of land into 36 numbered lots and two lettered common lots.
The term of the Agreement is for 10 years, with a 5-year option to renew. The main points of the Agreement address funding for all new City expenses created by the project, which includes:
Development Impact Fees (“DIF”) for construction of public improvements (i.e. streets and bridges, sewer, water, storm drain and fiber); Public Service Funding to ensure adequate provisions of 66 public services (police, fire and other public services); and the creation of a Community Facilities District (“CFD”) for the maintenance of public facilities.
In considering the Agreement at their meeting on November 23, 2021, the Planning Commission found that the Agreement was consistent with State law, The Ontario Plan, and the City's Development Agreement policies. As a result, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No.
PC21-081, recommending City Council approval of the Agreement with a 5-0 vote.
HOUSING ELEMENT COMPLIANCE: The project is consistent with the Housing Element of the Policy Plan (General Plan) component of The Ontario Plan. The project site is one of the properties listed in the Available Land Inventory contained in Table A-3 (Available Land by Planning Area) of the Housing Element Technical Report Appendix, and the proposed project is consistent with the number of dwelling units (36 for the project site, 819 specified in the Housing Element) and density (7.7 du/ac gross for the project site; 5-9 du/ac specified in the Housing Element).
AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY PLAN (ALUCP) COMPLIANCE : The California State Aeronautics Act (Public Utilities Code Section 21670 et seq.) requires that an Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan be prepared for all public use airports in the State; and requires that local land use plans and individual development proposals must be consistent with the policies set forth in the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. On April 19, 2011, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted the Ontario International Airport Land use Compatibility Plan (“ALUCP”), establishing the Airport Influence Area for Ontario International Airport, which encompasses lands within parts of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles Counties, and limits future land uses and development within the Airport Influence Area, as they relate to noise, safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity. The proposed project is located within the Airport Influence Area of Ontario International Airport and was evaluated and found to be consistent with the policies and criteria of the ALUCP. Any special conditions of approval associated with uses in close proximity to the airport are included in the conditions of approval provided with the attached Resolution.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The environmental impacts of this project were previously reviewed in conjunction with the Countryside Specific Plan (File No. PSP04-001), for which an Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2004071001) was certified by the City Council on April 18, 2006. This Application introduces no new significant environmental impacts. All previously adopted mitigation measures are a condition of project approval and are incorporated herein by this reference.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY FOUND, DETERMINED, AND ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Ontario, as follows:
SECTION 1. Environmental Determination and Findings. As the decisionmaking body for the Project, the City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the previous Certified EIR and supporting documentation. Based upon the facts and information contained in the previous Certified EIR and supporting documentation, the City Council finds as follows:
(1) The environmental impacts of this project were previously reviewed in conjunction with File No. PSP04-001, the Countryside Specific Plan for which a Certified EIR was adopted by the City Council on April 18, 2006; and (2) The previous Certified EIR contains a complete and accurate reporting of the environmental impacts associated with the Project; and (3) The previous Certified EIR was completed in compliance with CEQA and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder; and
(4) The previous Certified EIR reflects the independent judgment of the City Council; and
(5) The proposed project will introduce no new significant environmental impacts beyond those previously analyzed in the previous Certified EIR, and all mitigation measures previously adopted with the Certified EIR, are incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. Subsequent or Supplemental Environmental Review Not Required. Based on the information presented to the City Council, and the specific findings set forth in Section 1, above, the City Council finds that the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental Certified EIR is not required for the Project, as the Project:
71 (1) Does not constitute substantial changes to the Certified EIR that will require major revisions to the Certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and
(2) Does not constitute substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Certified EIR was prepared, that will require major revisions to the Certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects; and (3) Does not contain new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Certified EIR was certified/adopted, that shows any of the following:
(a) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the Certified EIR; or
(b) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the Certified EIR; or
(c) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project, but the City declined to adopt such measures; or (d) Mitigation measures or alternatives considerably different from those analyzed in the Certified EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but which the City declined to adopt.
SECTION 3. Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (“ALUCP”) Compliance. The California State Aeronautics Act (Public Utilities Code Section 21670 et seq.) requires that an Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan be prepared for all public use airports in the State; and requires that local land use plans and individual development proposals must be consistent with the policies set forth in the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. On April 19, 2011, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted the Ontario International Airport Land use Compatibility Plan (“ALUCP”), establishing the Airport Influence Area for Ontario International Airport (“ONT”), which encompasses lands within parts of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles Counties, and limits future land uses and development within the Airport Influence Area, as they relate to noise, safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity. As the decision-making body for the Project, the City Council has reviewed and considered the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation against the ALUCP compatibility factors, including [1] Safety Criteria (ALUCP Table 2-2) and Safety Zones (ALUCP Map 2-2), [2] Noise Criteria (ALUCP Table 2-3) and Noise Impact Zones (ALUCP Map 2-3), [3] Airspace protection Zones (ALUCP Map 2-4), and [4] Overflight Notification Zones (ALUCP Map 2-5). As a result, the City Council, therefore, finds and determines that the Project, when implemented in conjunction with the conditions of approval, will be consistent with the policies and criteria set forth within the ALUCP. 72 SECTION 4. Housing Element Compliance. Pursuant to the requirements of California Government Code Chapter 3, Article 10.6, commencing with Section 65580, as the recommending authority for the Project, the Planning Commission finds that based on the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation, at the time of Project implementation, the project is consistent with the Housing Element of the Policy Plan (General Plan) component of The Ontario Plan. The project site is one of the properties listed in the Available Land Inventory contained in Table A-3 (Available Land by Planning Area) of the Housing Element Technical Report Appendix, and the proposed project is consistent with the number of dwelling units (36 for the project site, 819 specified in the Housing Element) and density (7.7 du/ac gross for the project site; 5-9 du/ac specified in the Housing Element).
SECTION 5. Concluding Facts and Reasons. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the City Council during the above-referenced hearing, and upon the specific findings set forth in Section 1 through 4, above, the City Council hereby concludes as follows:
a. The Development Agreement applies to approximately 11.05 acres of land located at the southwest corner of Archibald and Chino Avenues, within the Neighborhood 7 land use district of the Countryside Specific Plan; and b. The Development Agreement establishes parameters for the development of the Neighborhood 7 land use district of the Countryside Specific Plan. The Development Agreement also grants the Applicant, the right to develop, the ability to quantify the fees; and establish the terms and conditions that apply to those projects. These terms and conditions are consistent with The Ontario Plan Policy Plan (General Plan), design guidelines and development standards for the Countryside Specific Plan; and c. The Development Agreement grants the Owner a vested right to develop Tentative Tract Map 18916 (File No. PMTT21-011) as long as the Owner, complies with the terms and conditions of the Specific Plan and EIR. Tentative Tract Map 18916 is located near the southwest corner of Archibald and Chino Avenues and proposes to subdivide 11.05 acres of land into 36 numbered lots and two lettered lots to facilitate future residential development; and
d. The Development Agreement has been prepared in conformance with the goals and policies of The Ontario Plan Policy Plan (General Plan); and e. The Development Agreement does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of The Ontario Plan Policy Plan (General Plan) and will provide for development, within the district, in a manner consistent with the Policy Plan and with related development; and
f. This Development Agreement will promote the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element of the Policy Plan; and
g. This Development Agreement will not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent properties and will have a significant impact on the environment or the surrounding properties. The environmental impacts of this project 73 were previously reviewed in conjunction with the Countryside Specific Plan (File No.
PSP04-001), for which an Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2004071001) was adopted by the City Council on April 18, 2006. This Application introduces no new significant environmental impacts. All previously adopted mitigation measures are a condition of project approval and are incorporated herein by this reference.

For purposes of this section, the term “successor in interest” shall mean any person having a legal or equitable interest in the whole of the Property, or any portion thereof as to which such person wishes to amend or cancel this Agreement. The procedure for proposing and adopting an amendment to, or cancellation of, in whole or in part, this Agreement shall be the same as the procedure for adopting and entering into this Agreement in the first instance. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the CITY initiates the proposed amendment to, or cancellation of, in whole or in part, this Agreement, CITY shall first give notice to the OWNER of its intention to initiate such proceedings at least sixty (60) days in advance of the giving the public notice of intention to consider the amendment or cancellation.
2.5.1 Amendment to Reflect Consistency With Future Amendments to the Construction Agreement. To the extent any future amendment to the Construction Agreement provides for modifications to rights or obligations that differ from or alter the same or similar rights or obligations contained in this Development Agreement, OWNER reserves the right to request an amendment to the Development Agreement to reflect any or all of such modifications.

3. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.
3.1 Rights to Develop. Subject to the terms of this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority, OWNER shall have a vested right to develop the Property in accordance with, and to the extent of, the Development Plan. The Project shall remain subject to all Subsequent Development Approvals required to complete the Project as contemplated by the Development Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, 88 -12-
the permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and provisions for reservation and dedication of land for public purposes shall be those set forth in the Development Plan.
3.2 Effect of Agreement on Land Use Regulations. Except as otherwise provided under the terms of this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority, the rules, regulations and official policies governing permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use of the Property, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and the design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to development of the Property shall be the Existing Land Use Regulations. In connection with any Subsequent Development Approval, CITY shall exercise discretion in accordance with the same manner as it exercises its discretion under its police powers, including the Reservations of Authority set forth herein; provided however, that such discretion shall not prevent development of the Property for the uses and to the density or intensity of development set forth in this Agreement.
3.3 Timing of Development. The parties acknowledge that OWNER cannot at this time predict when or the rate at which phases of the Property will be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors which are not within the control of OWNER, such as market orientation and demand, interest rates, absorption, completion and other similar factors. Since the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v.
City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Ca1. 3d 465, that the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over such parties’ agreement, it is the parties’ intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that OWNER shall have the right to develop the Property in such order and at such rate and at such times as OWNER deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment.
3.3.1 Infrastructure Improvement Exhibit. Attached hereto as Exhibits “E” and "F" are a description and depiction, respectively, of the Improvements needed for the development of the Property. In the event of any discrepancy between Exhibit E and Exhibit F, Exhibit F shall control.
3.4 Requirement for Public Infrastructure Improvements. Development of the Property is contingent in part on the phasing of area-wide infrastructure improvements over which the OWNER has control. The issuance of building permits by CITY for Model Units and Production Units is, in general, contingent on OWNER’s completion of needed infrastructure improvements and the availability of improvements and services to serve the Property.
3.4.1 Attached hereto as Exhibit “F” is a depiction of the infrastructure improvements needed for the development of the Property (“the Infrastructure Improvement Exhibit”).
3.4.2 Subject to the prior submittal by OWNER and approval by CITY of a plan to provide sufficient public infrastructure for the construction of a maximum number of four (4) Model Units, private common recreation facilities and sales facilities. 89 -13-
CITY may issue a maximum of four (4) building permits for Model Units, private common recreation facilities and sales facilities. The plan to be submitted by OWNER for CITY approval shall describe the utilities and other infrastructure necessary to provide sufficient fire protection and other public health and safety requirements for the Model Units and other facilities.
3.5 Changes and Amendments. The parties acknowledge that refinement and further development of the Project will require Subsequent Development Approvals and may demonstrate that changes are appropriate and mutually desirable in the Existing Development Approvals. In the event OWNER finds that a change in the Existing Development Approvals is necessary or appropriate, OWNER shall apply for a Subsequent Development Approval to effectuate such change and CITY shall process and act on such application in accordance with the Existing Land Use Regulations, except as otherwise provided by this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority. If approved, any such change in the Existing Development Approvals shall be incorporated herein as an addendum to Exhibit “C”, and may be further changed from time to time as provided in this Section. Unless otherwise required by law, as determined in CITY’s reasonable discretion, a change to the Existing Development Approvals shall be deemed “minor” and not require an amendment to this Agreement provided such change does not:
(a) Alter the permitted uses of the Property as a whole; or, (b) Increase the density or intensity of use of the Property as a whole; or,
(c) Increase the maximum height and size of permitted buildings; or, (d) Delete a requirement for the reservation or dedication of land for public purposes within the Property as a whole; or,
(e) Constitute a project requiring a subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report pursuant to Section 21166 of the Public Resources Code.
3.6 Reservations of Authority.
3.6.1 Limitations, Reservations and Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the CITY shall not be prevented from applying new rules, regulations and policies upon the OWNER, nor shall a development agreement prevent the CITY from denying or conditionally approving any subsequent development project application on the basis of such new rules, regulations and policies where the new rules, regulations and policies consist of the following:
(a) Processing fees by CITY to cover costs of processing applications for development approvals or for monitoring compliance with any development approvals;
90 -14-
(b) Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices, findings, records and any other matter of procedure;
(c) Regulations, policies and rules governing engineering and construction standards and specifications applicable to public and private improvements, including all uniform codes adopted by the CITY and any local amendments to those codes adopted by the CITY; provided however that, OWNER shall have a vested right to develop the Property in accordance with, and to the extent of, the standards and specifications that are expressly identified in the Specific Plan;
(d) Regulations that may conflict with this Agreement and the Development Plan but that are reasonably necessary to protect the residents of the project and/or of the immediate community from a condition perilous to their health or safety;
(e) Regulations that do not conflict with those rules, regulations and policies set forth in this Agreement or the Development Plan; (f) Regulations that may conflict but to which the OWNER consents.
3.6.2 Subsequent Development Approvals. This Agreement shall not prevent CITY, in acting on Subsequent Development Approvals, from applying Subsequent Land Use Regulations that do not conflict with the Development Plan, nor shall this Agreement prevent CITY from denying or conditionally approving any Subsequent Development Approval on the basis of the Existing Land Use Regulations or any Subsequent Land Use Regulation not in conflict with the Development Plan.
3.6.3 Modification or Suspension by State or Federal Law. In the event that State or Federal laws or regulations, enacted after the Effective Date of this Agreement, prevent or preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, such provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such State or Federal laws or regulations, provided, however, that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not inconsistent with such laws or regulations and to the extent such laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions impractical to enforce.
In the event OWNER alleges that such State or Federal laws or regulations preclude or prevent compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement, and the CITY does not agree, the OWNER may, at its sole cost and expense, seek declaratory relief (or other similar non-monetary remedies); provided however, that nothing contained in this Section 3.6.3 shall impose on CITY any monetary liability for contesting such declaratory relief (or other similar non-monetary relief). 91 -15-
3.6.4 Intent. The parties acknowledge and agree that CITY is restricted in its authority to limit its police power by contract and that the foregoing limitations, reservations and exceptions are intended to reserve to CITY all of its police power which cannot be so limited. This Agreement shall be construed, contrary to its stated terms if necessary, to reserve to CITY all such power and authority which cannot be restricted by contract.
3.7 Public Works; Utilities. If OWNER is required by this Agreement to construct any public works facilities which will be dedicated to CITY or any other public agency upon completion, and if required by applicable laws to do so, OWNER shall perform such work in the same manner and subject to the same requirements as would be applicable to CITY or such other public agency should it have undertaken such construction. As a condition of development approval, OWNER shall connect the Project to all utilities necessary to provide adequate water, recycled water, sewer, gas, electric, and other utility service to the Project. As a further condition of development approval, OWNER shall contract with the CITY for CITY-owned or operated utilities for this purpose, for such price and on such terms as may be available to similarly situated customers in the CITY.
3.7.1 OWNER agrees that development of the Project shall require the construction of Storm Drain facilities as described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F. OWNER shall be responsible for the construction of the necessary extension of Storm Drain facilities. OWNER agrees that no building permits shall be issued by CITY for Production Units prior to completion of the storm drain improvements, as described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F.
3.7.2 OWNER agrees that development of the Project shall require the construction of street improvements as described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F. OWNER agrees that no building permits shall be issued by CITY for Production Units prior to completion of the street improvements, as described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F.
3.7.3 OWNER agrees that development of the Property shall require the extension of water and recycled water utility infrastructure as described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F. OWNER agrees that no building permits shall be issued by CITY for Production Units prior to completion of the water and recycled water Improvements as described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F. OWNER also agrees that recycled water shall be available and utilized by OWNER for all construction-related water uses including prior to, and during, any grading of the Property.
3.7.4 OWNER agrees that development of the Property shall require the extension of sewer improvements, at OWNER’s sole cost and expense, as described in the attached Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F. OWNER agrees that no building permits shall be issued by CITY for Production Units prior to completion of the sewer improvements, as described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F. 92 -16-
3.7.5 OWNER agrees that development of the Property shall require the extension of fiber optic communications infrastructure, at OWNER’s sole cost and expense, as described in the attached Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F.
OWNER agrees that no building permits shall be issued by CITY for Production Units prior to completion of the fiber optic communication improvements, as described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F.
3.8 Acquisition of Offsite Provision of Real Property Interests. In any instance where OWNER is required by any Development Approval or Land Use Regulation and the Construction Agreement to construct any public improvement on land not owned by OWNER (“Offsite Improvements”), the CITY and OWNER shall cooperate in acquiring the necessary legal interest (“Offsite Property”) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4 of the Construction Agreement. This section 3.8 is not intended by the parties to impose upon the OWNER an enforceable duty to acquire land or construct any public improvements on land not owned by OWNER, except to the extent that the OWNER elects to proceed with the development of the Project, and then only in accordance with valid conditions imposed by the CITY upon the development of the Project under the Subdivision Map Act or other legal authority.
3.8.1 CITY Acquisition of Non-Construction Agreement Offsite Property. In the event OWNER is required to construct any public improvements on land not owned by OWNER, but such requirement is not based upon the Construction Agreement, Sections 3.8.1 and 3.8.2 shall control the acquisition of the necessary property interest(s) (“Non-Construction Agreement Offsite Property”). If the OWNER is unable to acquire such Non-Construction Agreement Offsite Property, and following the written request from the OWNER to CITY, CITY agrees to use reasonable and diligent good faith efforts to acquire the Non-Construction Agreement Offsite Property from the owner or owners of record by negotiation to the extent permitted by law and consistent with this Agreement. If CITY is unable to acquire the Non-Construction Agreement Offsite Property by negotiation within thirty (30) days after OWNER’S written request, CITY shall, initiate proceedings utilizing its power of eminent domain to acquire that Non-Construction Agreement Subject Property at a public hearing noticed and conducted in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235 for the purpose of considering the adoption of a resolution of necessity concerning the Non-Construction Agreement Offsite Property, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.8.
The CITY and OWNER acknowledge that the timelines set forth in this Section
3.8.1 represent the maximum time periods which CITY and OWNER reasonably believe will be necessary to complete the acquisition of any Non-Construction Agreement Offsite Property. CITY agrees to use reasonable good faith efforts to complete the actions described within lesser time periods, to the extent that it is reasonably able to do so, consistent with the legal constraints imposed upon CITY.
3.8.2 Owner’s Option to Terminate Proceedings. CITY shall provide written notice to OWNER no later than fifteen (15) days prior to making an offer to the owner of the Non-Construction Agreement Offsite Property. At any time within that fifteen (15) day period, OWNER may, at its option, notify CITY that it wants CITY 93 -17-
to cease all acquisition proceedings with respect to that Non-Construction Agreement Offsite Property, whereupon CITY shall cease such proceedings. CITY shall provide written notice to OWNER no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the hearing on CITY’S intent to consider the adoption of a resolution of necessity as to any Non-Construction Agreement Offsite Property. At any time within that fifteen (15) day period, OWNER may, at its option, notify CITY that it wants CITY to cease condemnation proceedings, whereupon CITY shall cease such proceedings. If OWNER does not notify CITY to cease condemnation proceedings within said fifteen (15) day period, then the CITY may proceed to consider and act upon the Non-Construction Agreement Offsite Property resolution of necessity. If CITY adopts such resolution of necessity, then CITY shall diligently institute condemnation proceedings and file a complaint in condemnation and seek an order of immediate possession with respect to the Non-Construction Agreement Offsite Property.
3.9 Regulation by Other Public Agencies. It is acknowledged by the parties that other public agencies not within the control of CITY possess authority to regulate aspects of the development of the Property separately from or jointly with CITY and this Agreement does not limit the authority of such other public agencies. CITY agrees to cooperate fully, at no cost to CITY, with OWNER in obtaining any required permits or compliance with the regulations of other public agencies provided such cooperation is not in conflict with any laws, regulations or policies of the CITY.
3.10 Tentative Tract Maps; Extension. With respect to applications by OWNER for tentative subdivision maps for portions of the Property, CITY agrees that OWNER may file and process tentative maps in accordance with Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 66498.1) of Division 2 of Title 7 of the California Government Code and the applicable provisions of CITY’s subdivision ordinance, as the same may be amended from time to time. In accordance with the provisions of Section 66452.6 of the Government Code, each tentative subdivision map or tentative parcel map, heretofore or hereafter approved in connection with development of the Property, shall be deemed to have been granted an extension of time to and until the date that is five (5) years following the Effective Date of this Agreement.; The CITY’s City Council may, in its discretion, extend any such map for an additional period of up to five (5) years beyond its original term, so long as the subdivider files a written request for an extension with the City prior to the expiration of the initial five (5) year term.
4. PUBLIC BENEFITS.
4.1 Intent. The parties acknowledge and agree that development of the Property will result in substantial public needs that will not be fully met by the Development Plan and further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement confers substantial private benefits on OWNER that should be balanced by commensurate public benefits. Accordingly, the parties intend to provide consideration to the public to balance the private benefits conferred on OWNER by providing more fully for the satisfaction of the public needs resulting from the Project.
94 -18-
4.2 Development Impact Fees.
4.2.1 Amount of Development Impact Fee. Development Impact Fees (DIF) shall be paid by OWNER. The Development Impact Fee amounts to be paid by OWNER shall be the amounts that are in effect at the time such amounts are due. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect the ability of the CITY to impose new Development Impact Fees or amend the amounts of existing Development Impact Fees. Additionally, nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect the ability of other public agencies that are not controlled by CITY to impose and amend, from time to time, Development Impact Fees established or imposed by such other public agencies, even though such Development Impact Fees may be collected by CITY.
4.2.2 Time of Payment. The Development Impact Fees required pursuant to Subsection 4.2.1 shall be paid to CITY prior to the issuance of building permit for each applicable residential or other unit, except for the Open Space and Habitat Acquisition Development Impact fee, which shall be paid by OWNER to CITY prior to the issuance of a grading permit. Deferral of the payment of Development Impact Fees may be granted pursuant to a separate agreement approved by City pursuant to City policy.
4.2.3 Parkland and Quimby Act Fees. Pursuant to the General Plan (Ontario Plan) Goal PR1, Policy PR1-5 (achievement of a park standard of 5 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents) OWNER shall provide improved parks, developed in accordance with the City’s park standards in an amount equal to two (2) acres per 1,000 of projected population without credit, reimbursement, offset or consideration from City. Such areas shall either be dedicated to the City or transferred to a homeowners’ association. If approved by the City Manager, OWNER may satisfy this requirement through the development of non-public recreation facilities such as private recreational clubhouses or pool facilities.
Credit for such private recreational facilities areas shall be limited to a maximum of 50% of the foregoing park development requirement. If OWNER’s Project does not provide dedicated and developed park acreage equal to two (2) acres per 1,000 projected population, OWNER shall pay a fee in-lieu equal to the per acre estimated costs of acquisition and development of parkland in the City’s Development Impact Fee for the calculated park acreage deficiency. Such in-lieu fee shall be due and payable prior to the issuance of the first building permit for Production Units issued to OWNER. Any park dedication and/or improvements in excess of such two (2) acres per thousand standard, provided such park has been developed in accordance with the City’s park standards and is open to the public generally, shall entitle OWNER to a credit toward its obligations under the Quimby Act (Gov. Code, § 64477) and the City’s implementing ordinance and/or resolution (collectively “Quimby Act Obligations”), and to the extent OWNER’s Quimby Act Obligations are satisfied, OWNER shall be entitled to have the City acquire such developed and publicly available parks as Non-Program Interests in accordance with Section 4.3.3 below.
95 -19-
4.3 Responsibility for Construction of Public Improvements.
4.3.1 Timely Construction of Public Infrastructure. The phasing of the areawide infrastructure construction within the New Model Colony will be as approved by the CITY. OWNER shall be responsible for the timely construction and completion of all public infrastructure required for the Project as shown on the attached Exhibit “F” and any and all tentative tract map conditions. Unless otherwise specified in the Subdivision Agreement/Tract Map conditions, all other required Improvements for each Tract Map, shall be completed and operational prior to, and as a condition precedent to, OWNER requesting and CITY’s granting of the first building permit for production units for each such Tract Map. All Infrastructure and Improvements shall be completed as required by the Subdivision Agreement/Tract Map conditions for Tract No. 18916.
4.3.2 Construction of DIF Program Infrastructure (Construction Agreement). To the extent OWNER is required to construct and completes construction of public improvements that are included in CITY’s Development Impact Fee Program and the Construction Agreement between CITY and NMC Builders LLC, CITY agrees that CITY shall issue DIF Credit in accordance with the provisions of the Construction Agreement and any amendments thereto. Use of DIF Credit issued to OWNER as a member of NMC Builders LLC to offset OWNER’s DIF payment obligations shall also be subject to the provisions of the Construction Agreement and any amendments thereto.
4.3.3 Construction of DIF Program Infrastructure (Non-Construction Agreement).
To the extent OWNER is required to construct and completes construction of public improvements that are included in CITY’s Development Impact Fee Program and such public improvements are not included the Construction Agreement between CITY and NMC Builders LLC, CITY agrees that CITY shall issue DIF Credit in accordance with the provisions of a separate Fee Credit Agreement between CITY and OWNER. Limitation on the use of DIF Credit issued to OWNER to offset OWNER’s DIF payment obligations shall also be subject to the provisions of a separate Fee Credit Agreement. CITY and OWNER agree that the Fee Credit Agreement between CITY and OWNER shall comply with CITY’s adopted policies applicable to such agreements.
4.3.4 Construction of Public Infrastructure by Third Parties. CITY and OWNER acknowledge that a portion of the Improvements described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F are necessary for the development of surrounding properties within the Ontario Ranch and the other property owners are also obligated to construct the Improvements or portions thereof. As such, CITY agrees that OWNER's obligation to construct the Improvements may be satisfied by third party owners pursuant to separate written agreements between OWNER and said third party undertaking the construction of the Improvements. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the coordination of the construction of the Improvements between private parties, including the allocation of costs for the construction of the Improvements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary 96 -20-
herein, any applicable DIF Credits may be transferred and assigned from one (1) party to another with respect to the construction of the Improvements and such transfer or assignment shall not require the conveyance of any real property.
4.4 Affordable Housing Requirement.
4.4.1 Affordable Housing- Number of Units. OWNER shall provide a minimum number of affordable housing units, equivalent to 10% of the OWNER’s total approved residential units within the Project, that are affordable to very low, low and moderate income households. Such requirement for affordable housing shall be met through one, or a combination of one or more, of the options provided in the following Sections 4.3.2.1 through 4.3.2.1. For the purposes of this Section, any term not defined in this Agreement shall be as defined by California Community Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.).
4.4.2 Affordability Spread. Of the total number of residential dwelling units specified in Section 4.4.1, to be constructed or rehabilitated pursuant to Sections
4.4.2.1 or 4.4.2.2 respectively, thirty percent (30%) shall be available to very low income, thirty percent (30%) shall be available to low income and forty percent (40%) shall be available to moderate income households. “Households” shall be as defined by California Health and Safety Code Section 50053.
4.4.2.1 New Construction. If OWNER elects to fully or partially satisfy the affordable housing requirement by the construction of new residential units, it shall construct and restrict the affordability of residential dwelling units within its Project or, at OWNER’s option and with the approval of the City, within another project elsewhere within the City. The affordable units constructed shall be intermingled with other units as part of the Project, and shall be built to the same construction, design and aesthetic standards, as well as number of rooms, as other units constructed as part of that OWNER’s Project. In addition, the percentage ratio of affordable units offered for sale versus those offered for rent shall equal the percentage ratio of other units offered for sale versus for rent within OWNER’s Project. Such construction shall be completed no later than the date that is five (5) years following the issuance of the first building permit for OWNER’s Project; provided however that to the extent OWNER has not constructed the required percentage of units, based on the number of building permits for non-restricted units, OWNER shall, prior to the issuance of such building permits, provide security (in the form and substance approved by the City Manager and City Attorney) to City in order to ensure the faithful completion of such required percentage of construction of affordable units. If OWNER elects the option of constructing new affordable units, a detailed Affordable Housing Agreement specifying terms for the allowable monthly housing costs or rents (as applicable) and maintenance and occupancy standards shall be prepared, executed and recorded against such units as a condition to the issuance of a building permit. The Affordable Housing Agreement shall hold a recorded 97 -21-
priority position senior to any other non-statutory lien or encumbrance affecting the unit.
4.4.2.2 Rehabilitation. If OWNER elects to fully or partially satisfy the affordable housing requirement by the substantial rehabilitation of existing residential units in the City, it shall substantially rehabilitate and restrict the affordability of, the number of residential units specified in Section 4.4.1, provided that such units shall be provided elsewhere within the City. The rehabilitation work shall be substantial and of high quality and shall also address any deferred property maintenance issues on the property. “Substantial rehabilitation” shall mean rehabilitated multi-family rented dwelling units with three or more units and the value of the rehabilitation constitutes 25 percent of the after rehabilitation value of the dwelling, inclusive of land value pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33413(b)(2)(A)(iii-iv) as such section exists as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. If OWNER chooses the option of rehabilitation of existing housing units within the City, a detailed Affordable Housing Agreement specifying the terms for the allowable month housing costs or rents (as applicable) and maintenance and occupancy standards shall be prepared, executed and recorded against such units as a condition to the issuance of a building permit. Such rehabilitation shall be completed no later than the date that is five (5) years following the issuance of the first building permit for OWNER’s Project; provided however that to the extent OWNER has not rehabilitated the required percentage of units, based on the number of building permits, OWNER shall, prior to the issuance of such building permits, provide security (in the form and substance approved by the City Manager and City Attorney) to the City in order to ensure the faithful completion of such required percentage of rehabilitation.
4.4.2.3 In-Lieu Fee. If OWNER has not fully complied with the requirements of Section 4.3.1 by providing the minimum number of affordable units through the construction of new affordable units or by the substantial rehabilitation of existing units, shall pay an “Affordability In-Lieu Fee”. If OWNER has not provided any affordable residential units by construction or rehabilitation, the Affordability In-Lieu fee shall be equal to Two Dollars Eighty Five Cents ($2.85) per square foot of residential development within OWNER’s Project or, if pre-paid as set forth below, Two Dollars Fifty Cents ($2.50) per square foot of residential development within OWNER’s Project. If OWNER has partially complied with the requirements of Section 4.4.1 by construction or rehabilitation of less than the minimum number of units, then the Affordability In-lieu Fee shall be recalculated and reduced in consideration of the number and type of affordable units provided.
The Affordability In-Lieu Fee shall be paid by OWNER to City no later than prior to the issuance of each building permit within OWNER’s Project based on the square footage of the residential unit for which such building permit is sought; provided however that OWNER may, at OWNER’s election, pre-pay such Affordability In-Lieu Fee by paying such Affordability In-Lieu Fee within 98 -22-
thirty (30) days following the earliest discretionary approval by the City for OWNER’s Project, including, but not limited to, any general plan amendment, specific plan adoption, development agreement, tentative map approval, variance, conditional use permit, or resolution of intention to form any public financing mechanism. The Two Dollars, Eighty Five Cents ($2.85) and the Two Dollars Fifty Cents ($2.50) per square foot amounts shall automatically be increased annually, commencing on July 1, 2022, and automatically each July 1 thereafter. Such adjustment shall be based on the percentage increase (but no decrease) in the Consumer Price Index (Riverside - San Bernardino - Ontario, CA), (December 2017=100) over the preceding year. The pre-paid Affordability In-Lieu Fee shall be calculated based on the maximum floor area ratio (FAR) permitted within the General Plan and any applicable FAR contained within the applicable specific plan, whichever is greater, and the Maximum Development Density. For purposes of this Agreement, “Maximum Development Density” shall be determined by multiplying the OWNER’s Project’s density for residential development potential as set forth in the General Plan or the applicable Specific Plan, whichever is less, by the net acreage of land within OWNER’s Project. All “Affordability In-Lieu Fees” collected by the City shall be used to promote the construction of affordable housing within the City.
4.4.2.4 Affordability Covenants. Prior to the issuance of the first building permit for any affordable unit, the City and OWNER shall enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement Affordability shall be assured for a period of forty-five (45) years for for-sale units and fifty-five (55) years for rentals. For rental units, base rents shall be established by the City and rental adjustments required by the City shall be performed on an annual basis. In addition, the Affordable Housing Agreement shall impose maximum occupancy limits of 2 occupants per bedroom plus 1 additional occupant per dwelling unit, and a requirement for the owner or tenant to properly maintain each dwelling unit.
4.4.2.5 Transfer of Affordable Project. No transfer of title to any affordable housing project shall occur without the prior written consent of the City. In the event OWNER transfers title to any affordable housing project required to be constructed pursuant to this Agreement to a non-profit entity, or other entity, that receives an exemption from ad valorem real property taxes, the City shall be required to assure payment of an annual in lieu fee to the City on July 1 of each year equal to one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the assessed value of such project. The City may permit OWNER to satisfy this obligation by recorded covenants against the property and enforceable against said entity by the City. Any such covenants shall be approved by the Planning Director and the City Attorney.
4.5 Schools Obligations.
99 -23-
4.5.1 Written Evidence of Compliance with Schools Obligations.
OWNER shall, either through joint or individual agreements between OWNER and the applicable school district(s), shall satisfy its new school obligations. The new school obligations for the Mountain View School District in the Ontario Ranch area have been projected to include the acquisition or dedication of school sites for, and construction of, up to eight (8) schools.

4.7.4 Effectiveness of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, CITY and OWNER each acknowledge, confirm, and agree that (i) the CITY approval of this Agreement and (ii) the effectiveness of this Agreement, in each case, are conditioned upon OWNER’s admission to NMC Builders as a “Member” (if not already a Member) thereof pursuant to the terms and conditions of the operating agreement of NMC Builders within 30 days following the Effective Date of this Agreement.

In the event OWNER fails or refuses to comply with any condition referenced in Section 4.1 through 4.9, or challenges (whether administratively or through legal proceedings) the imposition of such conditions, OWNER shall be deemed in default of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof, thereby entitling the City to any and all remedies available to it, including, without limitation, the right of the City to withhold OWNER’s Projectrelated building permits, certificates of occupancy, or discretionary approvals, without liability.
5. FINANCING OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
5.1 Financing Mechanism(s). In accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement between the CITY and NMC Builders, CITY will cooperate with OWNER in the formation of a CFD, or CFDs, to include all of the Project, to provide a financing mechanism to reimburse the OWNER for funds paid to NMC Builders LLC for OWNER’s share of the costs of public infrastructure pursuant to the Construction Agreement and to acquire other public facilities constructed by OWNER subject to the provisions of the Memorandum of Agreement between CITY and NMC Builders LLC. Notwithstanding such reimbursements and acquisitions, OWNER shall remain entitled to DIF Credits as provided for in Article 3 of the Construction Agreement and/or as provided for in a separate Fee Credit Agreement between CITY and OWNER.

These amounts shall be subject to an automatic increase at a rate not to exceed four (4%) percent per year unless otherwise modified by the City. Depending on the fiscal year that the CFD is formed and the CFD tax is levied, the annual special taxes may be higher. CITY shall be the sole and exclusive lead agency in the formation of any CFD, assessment district or other public financing mechanism within the Property; provided however, that the proceeds of any such CFD, assessment district, or financing mechanism may be used, subject to 103
-27-
restrictions that may be imposed by applicable law, for the purposes of acquiring, constructing or maintaining public facilities to be owned or operated by other public agencies, including, without limitation those facilities owned or operated by a school district. In addition to the rights of the CITY pursuant to section 5.2 hereof, CITY shall have the right, but not the obligation, to condition the formation of any CFD, assessment district or other public financing mechanism within the Property on the OWNER mitigating all Project-related impacts to the applicable school district(s) as required by such school district(s). Written evidence by such school district(s) may be required by the CITY as the condition to the formation of any CFD, assessment district or other public financing mechanism within the Property, or any steps preliminary thereto, including, without limitation, the adoption of any resolution of intention to form such CFD, assessment district or other public financing mechanism within the Property. It is not the intent of the parties hereto, by this provision, to prohibit or otherwise limit the City’s ability to take any and all necessary steps requisite to the formation of the CFD to finance City services through annual special taxes as set forth in this Section 5.1. Formation of any CFD, assessment district or other public financing mechanism within the Property, shall be subject to CITY’s ability to make all findings required by applicable law and complying with all applicable legal procedures and requirements including, without limitation, CITY’s public financing district policies as such policies may be amended from time to time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed by the parties that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring CITY or the City Council to form any such district or to issue and sell bonds.

8. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
8.1 Remedies in General. It is acknowledged by the parties that CITY would not have entered into this Agreement if it were to be liable in damages under this Agreement, or with respect to this Agreement or the application thereof.
In general, each of the parties hereto may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for the breach of any provision of this Agreement, except that CITY shall not be liable in damages to OWNER, or to any successor in interest of OWNER, or to any other person, and OWNER covenants not to sue for damages or claim any damages:
(a) For any breach of this Agreement or for any cause of action which arises out of this Agreement; or
(b) For the taking, impairment or restriction of any right or interest conveyed or provided under or pursuant to this Agreement; or
106
-30-
(c) Arising out of or connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application or interpretation or effect of the provisions of this Agreement.
8.2 Specific Performance.

(a) Money damages are unavailable against CITY as provided in Section 8.1 above.
(b) Due to the size, nature and scope of the project, it may not be practical or possible to restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, OWNER may be foreclosed from other choices it may have had to utilize the Property or portions thereof. OWNER has invested significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the Project in agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement, and it is not possible to determine the sum of money which would adequately compensate OWNER for such efforts.

Subject to the provisions contained in Subsection 6.3 herein, CITY may terminate or modify this Agreement for any failure of OWNER to perform any material duty or obligation of OWNER under this Agreement, or to comply in good faith with the terms of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “default”); provided, however, CITY may terminate or modify this Agreement pursuant to this Section only after providing written notice to OWNER of default setting forth the nature of the default and the actions, if any, required by OWNER to cure such default and, where the default can be cured, OWNER has failed to take such actions and cure such default within 60 days after the effective date of such notice or, in the event that such default cannot be cured within such 60 day period but can be cured within a longer time, has failed to commence the actions necessary to cure such default within such 60 day period and to diligently proceed to complete such actions and cure such default.
8.5 Termination of Agreement for Default of CITY. OWNER may terminate this Agreement only in the event of a default by CITY in the performance of a material term of 107
-31-
this Agreement and only after providing written notice to CITY of default setting forth the nature of the default and the actions, if any, required by CITY to cure such default and, where the default can be cured, CITY has failed to take such actions and cure such default within 60 days after the effective date of such notice or, in the event that such default cannot be cured within such 60 day period but can be cured within a longer time, has failed to commence the actions necessary to cure such default within such 60 day period and to diligently proceed to complete such actions and cure such default.

OWNER has reviewed the General Plan and concurs with CITY’s determination.

CITY shall promptly notify OWNER of any such claim, action or proceeding, and CITY shall cooperate in the defense. If CITY fails to promptly notify OWNER of any such claim, action or proceeding, or if CITY fails to cooperate in the defense, OWNER shall not thereafter be responsible to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless CITY. CITY may in its discretion participate in the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding.

With respect to Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein, CITY reserves the right to either (1) approve the attorney(s) which OWNER selects, hires or otherwise engages to defend CITY hereunder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (2) conduct its own defense, provided, however, that OWNER shall reimburse CITY forthwith for any and all reasonable expenses incurred for such defense, including attorneys’ fees, upon billing and accounting therefor.
9.6 Survival. The provisions of this Sections 9.1 through 9.6, inclusive, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
10. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.
The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall not prevent or limit OWNER, in any manner, at OWNER’s sole discretion, from encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or any improvement thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust or other security device securing financing with respect to the Property. CITY acknowledges that the lenders providing such financing may require certain Agreement interpretations and modifications and agrees upon request, from time to time, to meet with OWNER and representatives of such lenders to negotiate in good faith any such request for interpretation or modification. CITY will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such requested interpretation or modification provided such interpretation or modification is consistent with the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

to OWNER. The Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the default during the remaining cure period allowed such party under this Agreement. (d) Any Mortgagee who comes into possession of the Property, or any part thereof, pursuant to foreclosure of the mortgage or deed of trust, or deed in lieu of such foreclosure, shall take the Property, or part thereof, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Mortgagee shall have an obligation or duty under this Agreement to perform any of OWNER’s obligations or other affirmative covenants of OWNER hereunder, or to guarantee such performance; provided, however, that to the extent that any covenant to be performed by OWNER is a condition precedent to the performance of a covenant by CITY, the performance thereof shall continue to be a condition precedent to CITY’s performance hereunder, and further provided that any sale, transfer or assignment by any Mortgagee in possession shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.4 of this Agreement.

SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH KOFF & ASSOCIATES FOR A
CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION STUDY FOR THE ONTARIO MUNICIPAL
UTILITIES COMPANY AND THE INTEGRATED WASTE DEPARTMENT
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 18, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to award the Professional Services Agreement (on file with the Records Management Department) to Koff & Associates, a division of Gallagher Benefit Services Inc., of Berkeley, California, for the Classification and Compensation Study for the Ontario Municipal Utility Company (OMUC) and the Integrated Waste Department in the amount of $123,420, plus 15% ($18,513) contingency for a total authorized expenditure not to exceed $141,933.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT: Consistent with the terms of the Professional Services Agreement, the proposed cost is $123,420. It is also recommended to include a contingency of 15% ($18,513) to cover additional work that may be needed, such as desk audits, in-person meetings, and presentations with City staff. Adequate funding has been budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2021/22 Operating Budget with appropriations from Water, Sewer, and Integrated Waste Operating Funds.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: In 2000, the City conducted a total compensation study that was completed in 2003 to assist the City in evaluating the competitiveness of its benefit and compensation practices. The study evaluated salaries and benefits such as retirement programs, health insurance, and leave accruals provided to employees in relation to the regional labor market.
The results of the study assisted the City in establishing compensation and related benefits for several classifications- including classifications assigned to OMUC and the Integrated Waste Department. Utilizing a similar approach, Staff has conducted informal compensation studies since 2003 for several classifications. However, in an effort to continue to assess the competitiveness of the specialized classifications found in OMUC and Integrated Waste, the Human Resources/Risk 125
Management Agency solicited proposals in June 2021. The scope of the work would include: a review of the current job descriptions and compensation system to ensure internal equity and external competitiveness; a comprehensive survey of external regional labor market cities impacting the Ontario area job market, inclusive of a review of certain salary and benefit programs; a review of the City’s historical practices and recommended survey agencies.
The study will also include a presentation of findings and recommendations to further assist the City in evaluating the competitiveness of these specialized classifications in order to continue to recruit and retain a well-qualified and high performing workforce.
The two proposals received were each evaluated based on the firms response to the solicited bid and their understanding of the project, including but not limited to its experience in conducting similar studies for agencies with specialized classifications such as water, sewer and integrated waste.
The firms are listed below:
FIRM LOCATION BID AMOUNT
Koff & Associates Berkely, California $123,420
CPS HR Consulting Inc. Sacramento, California $231,485
Both firms were qualified to complete the project; however, based on the overall cost including experience in conducting similar studies for similar specialized classifications, including the flexibility and customization to meet the City’s needs, Staff determined Koff & Associates was the most qualified to conduct the study at this time.
Koff and Associates was founded in 1984 and has been assisting cities, counties, special districts and other public agencies with their human resources needs for 37 years. The firm’s areas of focus are classification and compensation studies and the key personnel assigned to the project have managed numerous classification and compensation studies, including providing such services to agencies providing water, recycled water, sewer, waste collection and/or recycling services.
In 2016, Koff & Associates conducted a total compensation study for the Ontario International Airport and has conducted other compensation studies for agencies in the local geographic area in which the City of Ontario was included as a comparator agency. For these studies, Koff & Associates conducted extensive research and reviewed the City’s classification and compensation structure to ensure accuracy of comparability between their client and Ontario which will further assist the City in this study.

SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE LEVYING SPECIAL TAXES WITHIN CITY OF ONTARIO COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 56 (PARKSIDE/LA AVENIDA)
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 18, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council consider and adopt an ordinance authorizing the levy of special taxes within City of Ontario Community Facilities District No. 56 (Parkside/La Avenida).
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
Ensure the Development of a Well Planned, Balanced, and Self-Sustaining Community in Ontario Ranch
FISCAL IMPACT: The use of Mello-Roos financing for facilities in the residential development of the Parkside/La Avenida project is estimated to generate approximately $18.4 million in bond proceeds to be used to fund a portion of the public infrastructure improvements that will serve the project, and approximately $748,034 per year, at build-out, to fund municipal services. Mello-Roos bonds are not a direct obligation of the City and are paid from special taxes levied on each taxable parcel in the district; therefore, there is no General Fund impact from the issuance of Mello Roos bonds.
City Council approval will be required in future years to process annual special tax levies.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 provides local government, with the consent from a majority of the property owners, the authority to establish community facilities districts (CFDs) for the purpose of levying special taxes to fund governmental services and to finance various kinds of public infrastructure facilities.
At a public hearing conducted by the City Council on December 21, 2021, the City Council adopted resolutions that established Community Facilities District No. 56 (Parkside/La Avenida); authorized the levy of a special tax within the Community Facilities District; called an election within the Community Facilities District on the proposition of incurring indebtedness, levying a special tax within the Community Facilities District; and establishing an appropriations limit for the Community 127
Facilities District. On that date, an election was held in which the qualified electors of the Community Facilities District approved said proposition by more than the two-thirds vote required by the Act. Adoption of the ordinance authorizing the levy of special taxes within the Community Facilities District will conclude the formation process for City of Ontario Community Facilities District No. 56 (Parkside/La Avenida).
The Parkside/La Avenida project addresses the development of approximately 50.84 gross acres located: Zone 1-Woodside Homes south of Schaefer Avenue, generally east of Archibald Avenue, west of Turner Avenue, and north of La Avenida Drive; Zone 2-New Home Company generally south of Edison Avenue, east of Cucamonga Creek Channel, west of Archibald Avenue, and north of Eucalyptus Avenue; Zone 3- PA27/Lennar Homes south of Merrill Avenue, generally west of Haven Avenue, generally east of Archibald Avenue, and north of the County Line Channel. The development is projected to include 482 units at build-out, zone 1-106 detached-condo units, zone 2-303 detached-condo units and zone 3-52 detached-condo units, and 21 attached units. 128

SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 31 TO TITLE 5 OF VOLUME I TO THE ONTARIO MUNICIPAL
CODE, RELATING TO SIDEWALK VENDING AND FINDING THE ACTION EXEMPT FROM CEQA.
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 18, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council consider and adopt an ordinance to amend Chapter 31 to title 5 of Volume 1 to the Ontario Municipal Code relating to sidewalk vending.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies FISCAL IMPACT: At this time there is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. Sidewalk vendors will pay a permit fee of $60.00 in lieu of paying for a business license. This fee is comparable to what sidewalk vendors were paying for a business license.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: At the Council meeting conducted on December 18, 2021, the City Council adopted a Resolution to amend the Citywide Fee schedule for the Sidewalk Vendor Permit Fee. Adoption of the ordinance amending Chapter 31 to title 5 of Volume 1 to the Ontario Municipal Code relating to sidewalk vending helps the City in two main areas. First, by incentivizing sidewalk vendors by increasing the potential life of a validly issued sidewalk vending permit from up to one year, to up to two years. Secondly, the proposed Ordinance contains various language clean up items that can assist City staff in (1) processing applications, (2) specifying how, when, and by whom permits may be revoked, (3) clarifying regulations of sidewalk vending in parks, and (4) adding penalties for those persons vending without any City permit to do so. 133
ORDINANCE NO. _______

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager (or his designee) to negotiate and execute a Contractual Services Agreement, Statement of Work, and License Agreement (on file in the Records Management Department) in the amount of $129,092.00 with N. Harris Computer Corporation, to upgrade the City View Code Enforcement system and maintain the software for a three-year term.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT: The total citywide CityView Code Enforcement System upgrade cost, including implementation, training, and installation will total $129,092 over three (3) years. Funding for year one (1), totaling $106,200, is included in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 First Quarter Budget Update. The cost for year one (1) is made up of $70,225 for CityView Workspace upgrade, $14,175 for an interface with our new financial system (Workday), and $21,800 for an interface with our new central cashiering system (Teller). Funding for year (2), in the amount of $11,167, and year (3), in the amount of $11,725, will be secured as part of the IT Annual Operating budget process.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The Community Improvement Department is currently using CityView software as the central case management software. CityView was originally purchased in 2001 and upgraded incrementally over the past 20 years. The proposed upgrade to CityView will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of Department staff by modernizing the software user interface and simplifying key administrative tasks. The upgrade also introduces the ability to create locationbased reports and searches, which will lead to more timely intelligence to better address priority issues and areas of concern.
The majority of Community Improvement Officers workday is spent conducting inspections relating to rental housing, abandoned and distressed buildings, vacant lot and weed abatement, and general code enforcement activity. Officers have averaged 10,126 inspections per year over the past 140
5 years. The proposed upgrade to CityView Mobile will increase officer effectiveness by allowing them to access real-time case information, manage inspections, generate forms and notices, and attach photographs to case files from mobile devices such as cell phones and iPad tablets. The upgrade will increase the amount of time staff spends in the community and reduce the time and costs associated with unnecessarily driving to and from the office.
The upgrade will also include interfaces to our new financial and cashiering systems, which will allow for timely updates to our financial data based on transactions in CityView.
Final contract approval will be contingent upon successful submittal and approval of all required supporting documents.

SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 4-19.06 OF THE CITY OF ONTARIO MUNICIPAL, RELATING
TO TOW SERVICES AND REGULATIONS
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 18, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt an ordinance amending Chapter 19 of Title 4 of Volume I to the Ontario Municipal Code, relating to tow services and regulations.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: On December 21, 2021, Staff and the City Attorney recommended revisions (Exhibit A) to modernize the tow ordinance and to allow for flexibility that may be required as a result of growth in the City.
The City’s rotational tow regulations, codified at Chapter 19 of Title 4 of the Ontario Municipal Code, were first adopted in 2004 and were amended once in 2015. Since the original adoption and subsequent amendment, the City has experienced significant growth in population due to new residential development, along with the development and redevelopment of major commercial and industrial areas of the City.
To account for such growth and to ensure the adequate and safe provision of tow services as outlined in Chapter 19, staff recommends a further amendment to the Code. This amendment will provide the City with limited flexibility and full discretion to approve tow yard sites both within the City limits and up to five (5) miles outside the City limits under limited circumstances. If approved by the City Council, this amendment will vest in a committee of three specified individuals the discretion to approve extraterritorial locations where City-sponsored or initiated economic development activity results in the displacement of an existing tow yard within the City.
Staff recommends approval for adoption of the attached Ordinance and will be available to answer questions or provide further information as the Council may desire. 143

SUBJECT: A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A ZONE CHANGE (FILE NO. PZC21- 001) AMENDING THE ZONING DESIGNATION ON 2.77 ACRES OF LAND FROM IL (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL) TO IG (GENERAL INDUSTRIAL), LOCATED AT 1948 SOUTH BON VIEW AVENUE; APN:1050-441-05.

SECTION:
PUBLIC HEARINGS
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council consider the following:
A. A Resolution approving the use of an Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2008101140); and
B. The introduction and waiving of further reading of an ordinance approving a Zone Change (File No. PZC21-001) amending the zoning designation on 2.77 acres of land located at 1948 South Bon View Avenue, from IL (Light Industrial) to IG (General Industrial).
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed Zone Change will facilitate the development of a 174,603-squarefoot industrial building, resulting in increased on-going property tax revenues for the City, and the one-time payment to the City of plan check fees and development impact fees.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The Applicant, Bon View Land 10, LLC & BV Investments 10, LLC, initiated a Zone Change on approximately 2.77 acres of land located at 1948 South Bon View Avenue, from IL (Light Industrial) to IG (General Industrial). The subject site comprises a portion of a larger 7.47-acre Project site on which three other application types have been submitted that are essential to the proposed industrial development, which includes:
A Development Plan (File No. PDEV21-030) for the construction of a 174,603-square-foot warehouse/distribution building;
A Certificate of Appropriateness (File No. PHP21-015) to allow for the demolition of a Tier III 151
historic resource (a 1,008 square-foot Craftsman single-family structure) that exists on the subject site; and
A Lot Line Adjustment (File No. E202100860) consolidating three lots, that comprise the Project site, into a single lot. Additionally, the recorded condominium plan over a portion of the Project site will be quitclaimed prior to the issuance of a building permit to construct the proposed Project.
The proposed Zone Change will serve to promote the orderly development of the subject site through lot consolidation of the two adjacent parcels that comprise the Project site, making the site physically suitable for the anticipated future industrial development and related land uses. The adjoining parcel to the south of the subject site will remain within the IL (Light Industrial) zoning district to serve as a buffer between the residential properties to the south, across Cedar Street, and the more intense industrial uses permitted to the north.
On December 20, 2021, Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the proposed Zone Change, concluded the hearing on that date, and voted unanimously (6-0) to adopt Resolution No. PC21-091, recommending that the City Council approve the Zone Change. On the same date, the Planning/Historic Preservation Commission approved the development project proposed by the Applicant, including a Certificate of Appropriateness (File No. PHP21-015) and a Development Plan (File No. PDEV21-030), subject to the approval of the proposed Zone Change by the City Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The environmental impacts of this Project were analyzed in an Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2008101140), certified by the City Council on January 27, 2010. This Application introduces no new significant environmental impacts. All previously adopted mitigation measures are a condition of Project approval, as applicable.
