SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve a Design Services Agreement (on file in the Records Management Department) with JMD of City of Industry, California, to provide engineering design services for a Traffic Signal System at San Antonio Avenue and State Street in the amount of $197,006 plus a 10% contingency of $19,700, for a total authorized amount expenditure of $216,706; and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute said Agreement and future amendments within the authorization limits.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Adopted Budget includes appropriations for the traffic signal system at San Antonio Avenue and State Street, in the amount of $800,000 from Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA-SB1). The total recommended expenditure authorization with JMD for design services consists of $197,006 plus a ten percent (10%) contingency of $19,700 for a total of $216,706. The remaining $583,294 in RMRA-SB1 funds will be used for the construction phase and Union Pacific Railroad services.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The Agreement will provide for engineering design services towards preparation of plans, specifications, estimates (PS&E), permit and utility coordination, and design support during construction for the new traffic signal. Due to the proximity of the traffic signal to the existing Union Pacific Railroad line, additional coordination will be required.
In October 2022, the City solicited proposals for the project and received one response. A selection team of City staff reviewed the proposal and accepted JMD's proposal based upon the quality of their proposal, past performance on similar projects, experience working with Union Pacific Railroad, and favorable references. JMD has agreed to a base fee of $197,006, which is deemed a fair and reasonable fee for the specified scope of work.

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year License Agreement (on-file with the Records Management Department) with SoftwareONE Incorporated, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for a Citywide Microsoft 365 Subscription, in an amount not-to-exceed $1,608,651.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes appropriations from the Information Technology Fund for an annual subscription and support service of Microsoft 365 products. The proposed License Agreement has an annual amount not-to-exceed $536,217, which includes a yearly subscription fee of $466,275 plus a 15% contingency amount of $69,942 for additional user licenses, if needed, with a total contract not-to-exceed amount of $1,608,651 for three-year term. If approved, appropriations will be added to the future years' budgets consistent with the annual adoption process.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
Microsoft 365 is a cloud-powered productivity platform that includes apps such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams.
The City has leveraged Microsoft’s productivity suite for over 25 years, and the Microsoft 365 suite ensures the City is on the latest and most up to date version of these apps which play a major part in serving the citizens, businesses, and partners of the City.
As technology demands continue to increase, the City is able to leverage Microsoft 365 to meet such demands. During the COVID pandemic the City was able to quickly adapt and migrate to virtual meetings using the Microsoft Teams product. This ensured the City was able to continue providing the high level of service it is known for. Microsoft Teams is now used daily, not only for meetings, but for modern collaboration.
40 In general conformation with the provisions of Government Code Section 54201 through 54204, Ontario Municipal Code Section 2-6.29 allows for the purchase of supplies and equipment through cooperative purchasing programs, pursuant to California Government Code Section 6502 and City of Ontario Resolution No. 91-141. Cooperative purchasing allows the City to pool its procurement power with other public agencies to obtain lower pricing than otherwise might be possible.
The City
is leveraging the Riverside County Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (#8084445) to secure discounted pricing.

RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council take the following actions:
A
.
Approve Construction Contract No. BB-2022-001, On-call Fiber Conduit Installation Services (on file in the Records Management Department), to HP Communications, Inc. of Corona, California, to provide fiber optic conduit installation services in the amount not to exceed $8,000,000; and

.
Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute said contracts for three-year terms with the option to extend the respective contracts for up to two additional one-year periods at the City's discretion, and to execute all documents required for the completion of the project, including, but not limited to purchase orders, contracts, agreements, easements, reduction of retention accounts, and the filing of a Notice of Completion at the conclusion of all related work.
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)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Adopted Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget includes appropriations for a total not to exceed amount of $11,000,000 in the Broadband Fiber Fund for the construction/installation of the City’s Broadband Fiber and Wireless Expansion Project Phase 1. Each contractor will be compensated on an on-call, as-needed basis at the rates outlined in their respective agreements.
There is no impact to the General Fund.
42 BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
Phase 1 of the City’s Broadband/Fiber Expansion Project, adopted by the City Council on July 20, 2021, expands OntarioNet’s primary fiber backbone routes and secondary lateral routes for fiber and wireless serving areas, and delivers Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) connections in identified serving areas. Once complete, Phase 1 will be capable of providing 20% of the City's area with wireless coverage, serve up to 1,900 single-family homes and 6,000 multi- dwelling units with fiber optic connectivity directly to residents’ homes, as well as serve up to 40 commercial business properties.
The customary way of soliciting bids for each project phase of the fiber network created limitations in addressing market conditions for service delivery. In response, Staff recommends using unit- based “on-call” services for conduit and fiber installation. The City will purchase and warehouse the conduit, fiber, network, and wireless components such as fiber optic cable, conduit, handholes, network equipment, etc. The approved contractors will collect the materials from the City’s warehouse and provide the labor to complete the assigned work. Having the material and equipment on hand at the time of construction schedules lessens supply chain delays for fiber optic material and network equipment procurement and eliminates costly overhead and markup charges.
In November and December 2022, the City solicited bids for BB-2022-01 On-call Fiber Conduit (Bid #1604) and BB-2022-02 On-call Citywide Fiber Cable Installation (Bid #1596) services, and two responses were received for each bid. The following is a summary of the bids:

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 $69,398.01 in costs that the City has expended for inspection or abatement of property violations, as well as the collection of $11,970.00 associated with civil penalties and/or fines for continued violations, for a total of $81,368.01 related to 108 parcels. When received, these reimbursements will be deposited into the General Fund. The special assessment revenue is included in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The City has established revolving funds to cover the City's 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 44 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 189 parcels. Of these, there are remaining amounts due on 108 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. 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).

A DESIGN SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE SULTANA AVENUE STORM DRAIN AND
STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 17, 2023
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve a Design Services Agreement (on file in the Records Management Department) with Infrastructure Engineering Corporation, an Ardurra Company, of El Segundo, California, to provide engineering design services for the Sultana Avenue Storm Drain and Street Improvements Project in the amount of $812,605; and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute said Agreement and future amendments within the authorization limits.
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)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total recommended expenditure authorization for Infrastructure Engineering Corporation consists of $738,731, plus a ten percent (10%) contingency of $73,874 for a total amount of $812,605. The $812,605 will be funded from RMRA-SB1 fund balance. Upon approval, the appropriations from RMRA-SB1 will be included in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Mid-year Budget Update.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The Sultana Avenue Storm Drain is a regional Master Plan Facility that ranges from 48-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) to 72-inch RCP, at a total length of approximately 9,700 linear feet (LF). The project is located along Sultana Avenue, from Fifth Street down to Transit Street, with major storm drain laterals built along J Street and Columbia Avenue. A project location map has been provided for reference (see attached Exhibit A).
The Agreement will provide for engineering design services for the preparation of plans, 57 specifications, estimates (PS&E) for the storm drain and street improvements, permit and utility coordination, hydrology and hydraulics, and design support during construction.
In December 2022, the City solicited proposals from a pre-qualified list of consultants and received four proposals that were reviewed by City staff. After evaluation of the firms, City staff recommends Infrastructure Engineering Corporation based upon quality of their proposal, past performance on similar projects, and favorable references. Infrastructure Engineering Corporation has agreed to a base fee of $738,731, which is deemed a fair and reasonable fee for the specified scope of work. 58 ProjectLocation

A THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
WITH ONTARIO MILLS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP TO ALLOW FOR THE CONTINUED
PROVISION OF POLICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES AT THE ONTARIO MILLS MALL
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 17, 2023
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
A
.
Authorize the City Manager to execute a third amendment (on file in the Records Management Department) extending for three years, certain terms of the Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA") with Ontario Mills Limited Partnership, allowing for the City's continued provision of police and public safety services through December 31, 2025; and
B
.
Consistent with certain terms and conditions of the DDA, authorize the billing of fees in the amount of $78,750 for each six-month period that such police and public safety services are rendered at the Ontario Mills Mall
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City of Ontario provides police and public safety services at the Ontario Mills Mall and receives payments from Ontario Mills Limited Partnership to offset a portion of the costs.
This three-year extension will result in $157,500 of revenue to the City during the first year, with fee increases for the second and third years predicated on the change of the Consumer Price Index, but not more than 5% per year. FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes revenues of $78,750 in the General Fund. If approved, revenue for future fiscal years will be included in the respective proposed operating budget for City Council approval.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The original 1994 DDA for the Ontario Mills Mall project called for The Mills Corporation, as the developer, to pay to the City a portion of the costs incurred for the provision of police and public safety services at the mall. Upon expiration of the DDA, both the 60 Ontario Mills Limited Partnership (successor of The Mills Corporation), and the City of Ontario agree that continuation of police and public safety services is a benefit to the mall tenants, shoppers and the community at large. As such, the parties have agreed to extend certain provisions of the DDA through December 31, 2025, retroactive to the expiration of the DDA's Second Amendment, resulting in payments to the City of $78,750 per six-month period, or a minimum of $472,500 over the term of the Agreement.

AN AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TRANSTECH ENGINEERS, INC. FOR GRANT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 17, 2023
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc., of Chino, California, for two grant applications from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in an amount not to exceed $13,300.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended grant management services in the not-to-exceed amount of $13,300 will increase the current not-to-exceed authorization for the Professional Services Agreement from $4,287,215 to $4,300,515. The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Integrated Waste Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
On November 17, 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the availability of $100 million in grants for recycling infrastructure and recycling education and outreach projects across the country. The new grant programs support improvements to local waste management systems and recycling education and outreach, meeting Congress’ goal to create a stronger, more resilient, and cost-effective U.S. municipal solid waste recycling program. The grant application was originally due on January 16, 2023; the deadline was extended to February 15, 2023. Due to the tight deadlines and the complexity of the grant programs, Public Works Staff had on-call project management consultant, Transtech Engineers, Inc., provide data collection, determine cost estimates, prepare and collect letters of support, prepare narrative responses, develop budget, schedule, and federal forms, and draft and submit project application to funding agency by the deadline. Staff recommends entering a contract amendment with Transtech Engineers, Inc. for grant management services to ensure the Integrated Waste Department can apply and utilize the grant funds to enhance recycling infrastructure and recycling education and outreach programs.

ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR NATURAL GAS COMPRESSOR
REPLACEMENT AND UPGRADE PROJECT
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 17, 2023
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 4 (on file in the Records Management Department) to the Professional Services Agreement with STV Energy Services, Inc. of Douglassville, Pennsylvania, for engineering design services for the City’s Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Compressor Replacement and Upgrade Project, adding $16,070 for a revised total contract authorization of $204,390 and a term from December 22, 2022 to April 17, 2023.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended Amendment No. 4 in the not-to-exceed amount of $16,070 will increase the current not-to-exceed amount from $188,320 to $204,390. The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Mobile Source Air Fund for additional engineering services for equipment upgrades due to utility needs and capacity for the CNG Compressor Replacement and Upgrade Project.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The City has owned and operated the CNG fueling facility since 1995.
Over the years, this facility has reduced the community’s collective carbon footprint, improved air quality, lowered dependency on fossil fuels and foreign oil, and enabled compliance with the South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 1193 “Clean On-Road Residential and Commercial Refuse Collection Vehicles.” The facility provides CNG for 91 City vehicles, Ontario-Montclair School District buses, and the public via a CNG fueling station located at 1440 South Cucamonga Avenue.
On June 18, 2019, the City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement with STV Energy Services Inc. to design the CNG Compressor Replacement and Upgrade Project. In March 2020, after deeper assessment of the existing facility and additional information from the Gas Company and Southern California Edison, the scope of work for the design of the Project needed to be 63 changed. On June 2, 2020, the City Council approved the additional scope of work for the Project, which included revised equipment to meet the future CNG needs and a phasing plan to allow for uninterrupted fueling operations during the construction of a new CNG Compressor. On May 17, 2022, the City Council approved an additional $34,690 in design costs for electrical upgrades to the new compressors and generator. During the construction, Xebec, the company that manufactures the gas dryers, went out of business and the gas dryer order was canceled. An alternate gas dryer was selected to replace the original order, which requires an additional $16,070 in costs. This new gas dryer needed to be reviewed by the Architect and submitted through the plan check process.
With the new dryers and the added plan checks, the time frame for the project has been extended to April 2023.

That the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement (on file in the Records Management Department) with Prima Partners, LLC, for State Advocacy Services, for two additional years and increase compensation by $300,000, for a new total not-to-exceed contract amount of $450,000.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies Encourage, Provide or Support Enhanced Recreational, Educational, Cultural and Healthy City Programs, Policies and Activities
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City currently has a contract with Prima Partners in the amount of $150,000.
The Agreement is set to expire on January 31, 2023. The proposed Amendment No. 2 will increase the current total not-to-exceed authorization by $150,000 annually, or $300,000 total for an additional two years, and bring the total not-to-exceed compensation to $450,000. Actual expenditures will be based on work completed at established billing rates detailed in the Agreement. The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes appropriations from the General Fund for these services.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The contract with Prima Partners was established to navigate the adopted Council priorities State-wide. Prima Partners has demonstrated exceptional ability to work with the City's local delegation and key Committee Members. The partnership with them was successful in getting the Governor to sign City sponsored legislation (AB 744) to relinquish State Route 83 (Euclid Avenue) to the City of Ontario. Last year, extensive outreach and educational campaigns took place to advocate local control on land use issues. They also have specialized knowledge on the Bradley Burns 1% local sales tax. This continues to be instrumental in assisting the City with local distribution amounts.
77 The City's immediate needs remain for advocacy services as the Legislature will begin to introduce new bills in the coming months. It is recommended, the City retains Prima Partners through the next Legislative Session for continuity and their direct experience with Ontario specific projects. 78 Department: Recreation

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the plans and specifications and award Contract No. UT1617-02 (on file in the Records Management Department) to General Pump of San Dimas, California, for the destruction of Water Well Nos. 11, 15, 17, and 26, in the amount of $541,575 plus a 10% contingency of $54,158, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $595,733, a term of 120 calendar days after issuance of notice to proceed, and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute said contract and file a notice of completion at the conclusion of all construction activities related to the project.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended contract award to General Pump, Inc. is for $541,575 plus a 10% contingency of $54,158, for a total amount not to exceed $595,733. The total cost for the recommended action is $595,733. If approved, appropriations in the amount of $595,733 from the Water Capital Fund will be included in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Mid-Year Budget Update Report to City Council.
There is no impact to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The City currently utilizes 17 active well sites with a total pumping capacity of approximately 55.6 million gallons per day, which is enough to supply the equivalent of up to 200,000 single-family households. Well Nos. 11, 15, 17, and 26 are currently inactive and non- operational. They were respectively constructed in 1958, 1960, 1963, and 1971 and have reached the end of their normal service life due to loss of designed production capacity and changes in expected groundwater quality. The recommendation is to safely abandon and destroy these wells.
Security and sanitation concerns have also been a problem at these sites due to vandalism, theft, and unauthorized occupation. Demolishing the wells and housing structures will help reduce the maintenance effort while preparing the inactive sites for alternative uses. 80 Destruction of Well No. 11 is located within the limits of the Ontario International Airport Authority
(OIAA) and will be abandoned in accordance with a separate land exchange Agreement that includes provisions for City wells on OIAA property.
Destruction of Wells Nos. 15, 17, and 26 will be
conducted in accordance with the water well standards of the State of California Department of Water Resources, the County of San Bernardino, and the plans and technical specifications for OMUC Contract No. UT1617-02. The work includes, but is not limited to, providing all labor, material, equipment, and services necessary to abandon, demolish, and dispose of Water Well Nos. 11, 15, 17, and 26, the pump pedestal, pipes, valves, and minor grading and paving work. A location map is provided for reference (see Exhibit A).
On November 8, 2022, two (2) bids were received for Bid No. 1579, Destruction of Water Well Nos. 11, 15, 17, and 26, OMUC Contract No. UT1617-02. The bids ranged from a low bid amount of $541,575 to a high bid amount of $693,475 as summarized below:

Staff recommends the award to General Pump Company of San Dimas, California based on their expertise and ability to perform the work in a timely manner, their successful completion of this type of work in the past, and as the lowest responsible bidder.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project has been reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been determined to be categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to California Code of Regulations Article 19 Section 15301, which states that operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of Class 1 “Existing Facilities” are exempt from the requirements of CEQA. Thus, no further CEQA analysis is required.

AN ORDINANCE FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (FILE NO. PUD20-001) AT 549 WEST HOLT BOULEVARD
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 17, 2023
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council consider and adopt an Ordinance approving a Planned Unit Development, File No. PUD20-001, establishing development standards, design guidelines, and infrastructure requirements to facilitate the development of a mixed-use project located at 549 West Holt Boulevard.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:
There is not a direct fiscal impact associated with this action.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
On December 20, 2022, the City Council introduced and waived further reading of an Ordinance approving the Planned Unit Development. The project site is composed of 0.81 acres of vacant land located at 549 West Holt Boulevard, within the MU-1/LUA-3 (Downtown Mixed-Use/Holt Boulevard District) zoning district. Property to the north of the Project site is within the MU-1/LUA-3 (Downtown Mixed-Use/Holt Boulevard District) zoning district and is developed with the Ontario Village Commercial Shopping Center. The property to the south is within the IL (Light Industrial) zoning district and is developed with a mix of industrial uses. The properties to the east and west are within the MU-1/LUA-3 (Downtown Mixed-Use/Holt Boulevard District) zoning district and are developed with multi-tenant commercial uses.
The Ontario Plan Policy Plan (General Plan) designates the project area as Mixed-Use, permitting residential uses at a density of 25.0 to 75.0 du/ac and commercial development at an intensity of up to 2.0 FAR for office and retail developments. The Ontario Plan (TOP) describes the Downtown Mixed-Use Area as an intensive vertical and horizontal mixture of retail, office and residential uses in a pedestrian friendly atmosphere. The most intensive uses are envisioned along Euclid and Holt Avenue. The Downtown Mixed-Use District is also intended to provide new housing opportunities 83 that will provide increased demand for retail at more concentrated, strategic locations. The densities and intensities of the Mixed-Use land use designation represented within TOP are the range of anticipated development; however, individual projects may vary depending upon an approved master plan, such as an area plan, specific plan, or planned unit development (PUD).
The Policy Plan specifies that the Downtown Mixed-Use Area is to be implemented through the approval of an Area Plan or PUD prior to the development of properties within the area. In compliance with this requirement, the Applicant submitted “The Roosevelt Tower Planned Unit Development” (included as Attachment “A” to the Ordinance), which is consistent with the vision and the goals and policies of the Policy Plan.
The purpose of the Roosevelt Tower PUD is to
implement TOP vision for the Downtown Mixed-Use Area as an intensive vertical and horizontal mixture of retail, office and residential uses in a pedestrian friendly atmosphere; to promote high standards in urban design; and, to encourage the development of exceptionally high quality residential and commercial uses, while establishing regulations and standards for uses with special conditions and regulatory needs to ensure harmonious relationships with other surrounding land uses. The PUD will establish the development standards, design guidelines and infrastructure to serve the site and to
facilitate the development of a mixed-use development project at a density of
72.8 dwelling units per acre. In conjunction with the PUD submittal, the applicant has submitted a Development Plan application (File No. PDEV20-009)
to construct a 5-story (three-stories of
residential units over two-stories of podium parking), 59-unit apartment project with 2,500 square feet of first floor retail space. Consistent with the requirements of the MU-1 (Downtown Mixed-Use) zoning district, the proposed PUD allows for uses intended to encourage retail and commercial uses to service local residents, visitors and employees, and attract pedestrian traffic along Holt Boulevard. The development regulations set forth in the PUD will govern the placement, height, and bulk of permitted buildings and structures; establish locational criteria for vehicular access to the site; establish parking and loading requirements; and, establish landscape and sign standards.
On July 26, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted
a public hearing to consider the above-
described PUD and concluded the hearing on that date. After considering all public testimony on the application, the Planning Commission unanimously approved (7-0) Resolution No. PC22-037,
recommending that the City Council approve the PUD document and adopted Resolution No. PC22- 038 approving the Development Plan, contingent on City Council approval of the PUD.
HOUSING ELEMENT COMPLIANCE:
The project is consistent with the Housing Element of the Policy Plan (General Plan) component of TOP, as the project site is not one of the properties in the Housing Element Sites Inventory contained in Tables B-1 and B-2 of the Housing Element Technical Report.
AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY PLAN (ALUCP) COMPLIANCE:
The project site is located
within the Airport Influence Area of the Ontario International Airport and has been found to be consistent with the policies and criteria set forth within the Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15332 (Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects) of the CEQA Guidelines and meets each of the following conditions:
84 (a)
The Project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan policies, as well as with applicable zoning designation. The proposed Project is located within the MU (Mixed Use) land use district of the Policy Plan Land Use Map and the MU-1/LUA-3 (Downtown Mixed-Use/Holt Boulevard District) zoning district. The proposed project is consistent with all applicable Policy Plan (general plan) policies, as well as with the requirements of the Roosevelt Tower PUD, and applicable Development Code regulations;
(b)
The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The Project is proposed within the established boundaries of the City of Ontario, on a project site totaling 0.81-acre of land, which is surrounded by established commercial land uses;
(c)
The Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. The site is void of any flora or fauna, was previously graded, and is regularly maintained to prevent the growth of weeds and grasses;
(d)
Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The proposed mixed-use development is similar to, and of no greater impact than other allowed residential uses and commercial development projects within the MU- 1/LUA-3 (Downtown Mixed-Use/Holt Boulevard District) zoning district; and
(e)
The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The site is located within an area that is currently served by all required utilities and public services, including, but not limited to sewer, water, gas, electric and municipal solid waste services. 85 Case Planner: Luis E.

The existing surrounding land uses, zoning, and general plan and specific plan land use designations are summarized in the “Surrounding Zoning & Land Uses” table located in the Technical Appendix of this report.
PROJECT ANALYSIS:
(1) Background — On April 13, 2020, the Applicant submitted a Planned Unit Development application (File No. PUD20 -001, Roosevelt Tower Planned Unit Development) that will establish the development standards, design guidelines , and infrastructure requirements for the Project site. In conjunction with the Planned Unit Development (“PUD”), the Applicant submitted a Development Plan (File No. PDEV20 - 009) application requesting approval to construct a mixed-use project consisting of 59 multiple-family dwellings and 2,500 square feet of retail space (four tenant spaces), and two levels of podium parking. Pursuit to the Ontario Development Code, the PUD requires approval by both the Planning Commission and City Council.
On July 6, 2022 , the Development Advisory Board (“DAB”) conducted a hea ring and unanimously voted to recommend that the Planning Commission approve the subject Development Plan (File No. PDEV20 -009). The DAB’s purv iew does not extend to the proposed Planned Unit Development.
(2) Planned Unit Development —The Ontario Plan Policy Plan ( general plan) designates the project area as Mixed-Use, permitting residential uses at a density of 25.0 to 75.0 du/ac, and a development intensity of up to 2.0 FAR for office and retail development. The Ontario Plan describes the Downtown Mixed-Use Area as an intensive vertical and horizontal mixture of retail, office and residential uses in a pedestrian friendly atmosphere. The most intensive uses are envisioned along Euclid and Holt Avenue. The Downtown Mixed-Use District is also intended to provide new housing opportunities that will also provide increased demand for retail in more concentrated, strategic locations.
The densities and intensities of the Mixed-Use land use designation represented within The Ontario Plan ( “TOP”) are the intended level of anticipated development; however, individual projects may vary depending upon an approved master plan, such as an area plan, specific plan, or PUD.
The Policy Plan specifies that the Downtown Mixed -Use Area is to be implemented through the approval of an Area Plan or PUD prior to the develo pment of properties within the area. In compliance with this requirement, the Applicant has submitted the “Roosevelt Tower Planned Unit Development ” (included as Attachment “A” to the 87 Planning Commission Staff Report
File Nos.: PUD20-001 and PDEV20-009
July 26, 2022
attached resolution), which is consistent with this vision and the goals and policies of the Policy Plan.
The purpose of the PUD is to secure a fuller realization of the Policy Plan than would result from the strict application of present zoning district regulations and to:
• Promote high standards in urban design;
• Encourage the development of exceptionally high quality, mixed -use, while establishing regulations and standards for uses with unique regulatory and design needs; and
• Ensure harmonious relationships with surrounding land uses.
A PUD is comparable to a Specific Plan in that it sets development regulations that are unique to a specific area; however, it is also unlike a Specific Plan in that a PUD is typically intended to apply to a single development project or several interrelated development projects that function together as a single, comprehensive project.
(a) Land Use and Development Regulations — Consistent with the requirements of the MU -1/LUA-3 (Downtown Mixed-Use/Holt Boulevard) zoning district, the “Roosevelt Tower Planned Unit Development” land use restrictions only permit commercial uses, or a mix of commercial and residential uses in the same building or on the same site, or stand-alone multiple -family projects. The maximum building height allowed is 75 feet. The minimum building setbacks allowed are two feet from the Holt Boulevard (north) property line, two feet from the Brooks Street (south) property line, and one-foot from the east and west property lines.
(b) Landscaping and Drainage — A conceptual landscape plan is required to be submitted with the Development Plan for construction of the project site. The plan will be required to specify all landscape and hardscape elements for the development plan site. Water conservation will be provided through low water using plant materials, hydro zones, water efficient irrigation and weather-based controllers. Landscaped areas may be used for storm water infiltration through vegetated swales, retention basins, or dry wells as needed with the use of appropriate planting materials. Broad canopy shade trees can be used to reduce heat gain on buildings, paving and parking areas. The land scape design shall meet the requirements of the Landscape Development Standards and shall create well-functioning spaces within a sustainable design. Trees along street frontages shall comply with the variety, size, and spacing as directed by the City of Ontario Master Street Tree Plan.
(c) Off-Street Parking and Circulation\Access — Parking, circulation, transit and infrastructure improvements will be provided as follows:
(i) Parking: Off-street parking is required to be provided on -site, at the rates required by the City of Ontario Development Cod e. No on -street parking will be allowed on Holt Boulevard, in front of the Project site. 88 Planning Commission Staff Report
File Nos.: PUD20-001 and PDEV20-009
July 26, 2022
(ii) Circulation/Access: Vehicular access for the project site is provided at two points, including one 20 -foot-wide driveway on Holt Boulevard, at the northeast corner of the Project site , and one 20 -foot-wide driveway on Brooks Street, at the southeast corner of the Project site. After improvements are made from the West Valley Connector (“BRT”) Project, vehicular access from Holt Boulevard will be limited to right - in/right-out movements. Pedestrian connections to the project site will be provided from sidewalks within the PUD site.
(iii) Mass Transit: The PUD, a long with the future development entitlements for the site, will require the necessary infrastructure to serve the s ite and provide the necessary rights -of-way dedication s for street widening and to accommodate the future BRT line for the SBX West Valley Connector.
(iv) Street Improvements: The City of Ontario, as part of its street widening plan, and the developers of the PUD site, will be responsible to improve Holt Boulevard and Brooks Street to their ultimate widths. The proposed project will be required to dedicate 20 feet along the Project’s Holt Boulevard street frontage and two feet along the Project’s Brooks Street frontage.
(d) Architecture/Design Guidelines — The architectural design and details, outlined within the PUD, focus on the following elements:
• Appropriate scale and massing;
• Architectural style and design that are complementary and appropriate to its setting;
• Use of high -quality materials that will create visual interest, high quality, durable and appropriate for the architectural style;
• Appropriate site planning to ensure building orientation visibility from the street; • Roof form; and
• Building entry design.
The PUD requires the architectural theme of the project area to be contemporary or a modern style that generally responds to the region’s climate, including such features as outdoor circulation, outdoor courtyards/plazas, recessed window frames, awnings, and decorative canopies/ trellises. Additionally, buildings are to be oriented toward Holt Boulevard, and incorporate entry elements, interesting architecture, enhanced materials, and a pedestrian scale, to provide connection between the development and the public street.
Due to the size and scale of the PUD area, all sides of the buildings will be visible from the public street. As such, appropriate massing becomes more important to maintain the human-scale of the development and create a visually pleasing environment. Bay windows, stepped buildings, height changes, and setback variations between stores help to break up large buildings, as well as indicate entries and store locations to customers.

(3) Development Plan —In conjunction with the Planned Unit Development, the Applicant is requesting Development Plan approval (File No. PDEV20-009) to construct a mixed-use project consisting of 59 multiple-family dwellings (three -stories of residential units) over two-stories of podium parking and 2,500 square feet o f first floor retail space.
Staff has worked with the A pplicant to design a project that meets the goals and requirements of the MU-1/LUA-3 (Downtown Mixed -Use/Holt Boulevard District) zoning district, the Roosevelt Tower PUD, and the goals and policies of The Ontario Plan (“TOP”).
The project characteristics are described below:
(a) Site Design/Building Layout —The proposed building is set back five feet from the Holt Boulevard (north) property line, two feet from the Brooks Street (south) property line , and one -foot from the east and west property lines. The residential structures above the two stories of podium parking will be set back 17 feet from Holt Boulevard (north) property line, 18 feet from the Brooks Street (south) property line and a zero-setback has been provided along the east and west property lines.
The Project has been oriented in a north -south orientation, with the front of the building and primary building entrance facing Holt Boulevard. The rear of the building will face Brooks Street.
The building is proposed at five -stories in height (68 feet) , comprised of three-stories of residential units constructed over two -stories of podium parking. Additionally, 2,500 square feet of retail space has been incorporated into the building’s ground floor, facing the Project’s Holt Boulevard street frontage. The retail space is divided into four separate units ranging from 540 to 760 square feet in area (see Exhibits B—Site Plan and Exhibit C— Floor Plans, attached). The retail unit characteristics are shown in Table 1, below.

(b) Site Access/Circulation — The project has been designed in conformance with the development regulations, standards and design g uidelines of the MU-1/LUA-3 (Downtown Mixed-Use/Holt Boulevard District) zoning district and the Roosevelt Tower PUD. The project proposes two points of vehicular access. Primary access is provided from Holt Boulevard, at the northeast corner of the Project site. Secondary access is provided from Brooks Street, at the southeast corner of the Project site. Pedestrian access into the building is proposed at the northwest corner of the building, through a lobby with elevator access. Pedestrian access to the r etail units is proposed from the Holt Boulevard public sidewalk. Residential units will be accessed through interior corridors located on each floor. Emergency access stairs have been incorporated at all four corners of the building (see Exhibits B—Site Plan and Exhibit C—Floor Plans, attached).
(c) Parking —The project has been parked in accordance with the Ontario Development Code and the Roosevelt Tower PUD requirements. The Project’s total required number of off-street parking spaces is 12 7 and 128 off-street parking spaces have been provided, exceeding the minimum requirement .

(d) Architecture —The Project proposes a Contemporary Architectural Design, exemplifying the type of high -quality architecture promoted by the Ontario Development Code, The Ontario Plan, and the Roosevelt Tower PUD (see Figure 2 : Holt Boulevard Perspective , Figure 3: Brooks Street Perspective, and Exhibit E —Elevations, attached). The mass and scale of the build ing along the Holt Boulevard frontage will serve to establish an urban sensibility, as envision by the MU-1/LUA-3 (Downtown Mixed- Use/Holt Boulevard District) zoning district. Additionally, the varying stacked massing of the building, in combination with the articulated roof line, deep exterior wall insets, and the various story step-downs along the front of the building, provides visual inter est and helps soften the pe destrian interface between the building façade and the street frontage along both Holt Boulevard and Brooks Street.
Special attention was given to the use of color, finished materials, building form, massing, and the use of architectural details. This is exemplified through the use of:
• Articulation in the building’s roof lines;
• Focal architectural towers that have been incorporated at different heights to add interest;
• A variety of horizontal cement board siding;
• Concrete Masonry;
• Spandrel glass;
• Cantilevered balconies and decorative canopies at the third, fourth and fifth floors;
• Extensive vision glass at the first and second floors; • Exterior smooth stucco finish;
• Enhanced lighting fixtures;
• Front an d side facing decorative railings at the third, fourth and fifth floor balconies;
• Incorporation of contrasting exterior building colors to add interest; • Decorative aluminum storefront framing; and
• Deep insets and pop-outs (2.5 feet to 16 feet) at key areas of the building. 92 Planning Commission Staff Report

(e) Landscaping — The project exceeds the minimum landscape requirements established by the City’s Development Code and the Roosevelt Tower PUD (see Exhibit F—Landscape Plan and Exhibit G—Landscape Plan Perspective, attached). The project will provide an average of 66 square feet of private open space per unit (60 square feet minimum required), in the form of private balconies, and 251.5 square feet of common open space for each unit (250 square feet minimum required). The common open space (14,853 square feet) will be provided on the third floor (podium deck) of the proposed five-story building, which is fully landscaped and amenitized. The third floor includes an exercise room, entertainment area, restrooms, built -in barbecues and serving counters, rubberized play surface, a decorative steel shade structure, decorative pavers, wood decking, decorative masonry block raised planters, decorative benches, lounge seating, dining tables and chairs, several decorative umbrella shades, two play structures and ping pong tables. The Holt Boulevard and Brooks Street setback areas both feature decorative paving and decorative potted plants.
(f) Signage —The project is required to comply with the Ontario Development Code and the Roosevelt Tower s PUD. A sign program is required to be submitted for review and approval prior to any signs being installed on the property.
(g) Utilities (drainage, sewer ) —The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan (“PWQMP”), which establishes the Project’s compliance with storm water discharge/water quality requirements. The PWQMP includes site design measures that capture runoff and pollutan t transport by minimizing impervious surfaces and maximizes low impact development (“LID”) best management practices (“BMPs”), such as retention and infiltration, bio treatment, and evapotranspiration. The PWQMP proposes an underground infiltration system located beneath the podium parking structure along the south portion of the building. The system is designed to accept runoff from the building’s roof and third floor courtyard.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE ONTARIO PLAN: The proposed project is consistent with the principles, goals and policies contained within the Vision, Governance, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan (TOP). More specifically, the goals and policies of TOP that are furthered by the proposed project are as follows:
(1) City Council Goals.
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City’s Economy; Operate in a Businesslike Manner;
Focus Resources in Ontario’s Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods; and

PUD: Roosevelt T ower, Holt Boulevard, City of Ontario, CA - Revised March, 7 2022 Page 9 2 – P.U.D. OBJECTIVES
2.1 – The Ontario Plan (TOP) Objectives
T he Ontario Plan, which includes the City’s General Plan, designates the project area as part of the Downtown Mixed Use District. The Downtown Mixed Use District designation requires approval of an Area Plan or Planned Unit Development to develop the property.
Additionally, the designation specifies a residential density range of 25.0 to 75.0 units per acre and a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 2.0 for office and retail uses.
T he intent of this designation is to:
1. Cr eate “an intensive vertical and horizontal mixture of residential and retail uses in a pedes trian friendly atmosphere;
2. Ensur e the historic character is enhanced when required or appropriate; and
3. Concent rate intensive Land uses on Holt Avenue.
T he Holt & Brooks PUD is consistent with the principles, goals and policies contained within the components that make up The Ontario Plan (TOP), including: ( 1) Vision, (2) Policy Plan (General Plan), and (3) City Council Priorities. The policies furthered by this PUD are as follows:
1. Vision
On F ebruary 13, 2007, the Ontario City Council adopted The Ontario Vision. The central theme that motivates the Vision is - “A sustained, community-wide prosperity which continuously adds value and yields benefits. “Everything the City does and every ac tion the City takes is done with the simple yet comprehensive theme in mind, from t he design quality of the built environment, to the intent of designing soc io-economic programs, to the way in which its leaders govern as a community. In discussing a Vision that would endure for the lifetime of The Ontario Plan (30 years or mor e), the City Council recognized that there are four components that serve as the ba sic building blocks that set the foundation for a unified and prosperous community.
These foundational blocks must be expressed and widely accepted throughout the Pla n’s lifetime. They are:
1. A Dyna mic Balance that enables our community to confront the continued dyna mic growth of the region and technological change with confidence and a sense of oppor tunity.
Objectives
129
PUD: Roosevelt T ower, Holt Boulevard, City of Ontario, CA - Revised March, 7 2022 Page 10 2. A Pr osperous Economy that sustains the perception and reality of prosperity ac ross our entire community that positively impacts all the people of Ontario a nd is broadly - though not uniformly - shared.
3. Dis tinctive Development that integrates our varied and diverse focal points, dis tricts, villages, and neighborhoods to provide a feeling of coherence wit hout sacrificing uniqueness.
4. R ecognized Leadership in local governance that stimulates excellence and ser ves to unify the people of Ontario in support of best practices in conduc ting public endeavors.
Holt & B rooks PUD will implement the Ontario Vision in several ways that will f urther the City’s desire to be a sustainable and prosperous community.
DI STINCTIVE DEVELOPMENT

4.8 – Landscaping
The site design at Roosevelt Towers includes a diverse palette of drought tolerant native and adapted plants selected to provide a low maintenance and colorful landscape while also meeting the challenging requirements of planting on structure.
The building frontage along Holt Avenue consists of a 4’ wide parkway planted with Ev- ergreen Ash trees and a low groundcover of Dwarf Coyote Brush. Setback from the sidewalk are a series of large rectangular planting areas, approximately 150sf each, configured within the building module, allowing views and access to the future retail facades. These large planter areas contain a variety of low water groundcovers with native deciduous Western Redbud trees (tri- angulated with the Evergreen Ash). The hardscape in this area consists of standard grey concrete along the public sidewalk with integral colored sand finish concrete along the building façade and between planters. Decorative paving and hardscape within the 20' dedication shall be maintained by the property owner.
Along Brooks Street the same Baccharis groundcover runs along the parkway with Podo- carpus henkelii as the street tree. Larger foundation shrubs such as Sweet Bay and New Zealand Flax soften the façade and provide screening to utilities in this area.
4.8.1 – Site Landscaping

4.8.2 – Planting Palette
The planting palette shall be comprised of “California friendly” drought tolerant planting materials compatible with the overall architectural style of the Planned Unit Development. The following palette has been established to meet the needs of this Planned Unit Development:
4.8.3 – Common and Open Space L andscaping
The 3rd floor contains a variety of spaces, with landscaping acting as an organizing feature while still providing screening, softening, color, beauty, and shade.
As one approaches the main public amenity space through the central corridor a row of potted Dwarf Olives sits in a bed of low green planters which carries the eye through the space and also bisects the space into two smaller zones. At the terminus of this view is one of 3 spec- imen Ficus trees sitting in an 8’ x 12’ x 42” high raised planter, providing ample space for root structure. T o the north of the olive row is the Children’s Play Area, a 26’ x 52’ semi contained area with two play structures, wood bench seating, umbrellas for shade, and a small turf area for flexible play.
T o the south, adjacent to the gymnasium, is a flexible open space for exercise, yoga, or small recreational games such as table tennis. Heading east is a large 26’ x 40’ shade structure above a flexible dining and lounge space including two BBQ cooking stations. This shade struc- ture partially expands to the east to cover a long wood (or composite) deck seating area.
The planting areas in and around the 3rd floor amenity space can be divided into 3 groups. The first group are the series of “built in” raised planters. These contain the 3 Ficus trees, and also run along the north and south edge of the public amenity space. The longer planters would sit at 42” height, and contain a mix plants including Dwarf Bottlebrush, Sage, and Coast Rosemary.
The second category is the series of narrow linear planters that are used for screening the res- idences while softening the building façade. These would be “off the shelf” rectangular planters, potentially lightweight precast concrete or fiberglass, containing upright plants for screening such as Sweet Bay or Bamboo. Finally, the last group includes low profile green tray plantings. These would be of medium depth, approximately 8”, and may be contract grown ahead of time to pro- vide an immediate impact on day one. Species may include sedums, low ornamental grasses, and other small succulents.
All planting a reas on the 3rd floor will be connected to the buildings irrigation system, and appropriately plumbed for drainage.

6 – DESIGN GUIDELINES
T he entire project area is covered by the Ontario Plan Policy Plan (General Plan) and has been designated as mixed-use (Holt Boulevard) and as described in the Ontario Plan Downtown Mixed-Use Growth Area. This PUD area will be distinctive through the requirement of a well-designed projects that convey visual interest and character through:
► Appr opriate scale and massing.
► Ar chitectural style and design that are complementary and appropriate to its setting. ► T he use of high quality materials that will create visual interest, high quality, durable a nd appropriate for the architectural style.
► Appr opriate Site Planning to ensure building orientation visibility from the street, adequate number of driv eways and sidewalks. Building setbacks, parking lot orientation, adequate r efuse storage areas and well designed s treet frontages.
6.1 – Building Orientation
B uilding orientation shall be designed to minimize noise impacts, aide in providing property site safety, create proper accessibility to site amenities and parking, and to maximize views from residential units. Design should also be done in a way to create defensible spaces improving site safety.
• Orient ation towards the exterior of the project area shall be carefully evaluated to ensure a pr oper relationship.
• B uildings shall be clustered in a way that creates defensible spaces providing views of interior open spaces a nd amenities. For units without garage spaces buildings shall be oriented to c reate minimal distances from assigned parking spaces to primary or seconda ry residential unit entries.

PUD: Roosevelt T ower, Holt Boulevard, City of Ontario, CA - Revised March, 7 2022 Page 57 Design Guidelines
6.2 – Architectural Character
The Roosevelt T ower design leans toward Contemporary and Modern Minimalist Style.
The design will make use of smooth cement plaster exterior finishes, simple square glazed window and storefront openings and decorative metal canopies throughout the development.
Large angular forms, creating a series of ‘boxes’ are used on both north and south exterior facades to emulate the simple and uncluttered lines - a predominant character of the modernist architectural style used by Nuetra and Schindler popularized in the 1930’s. The use of strong accent colors all throughout the exterior elevations were meant to offer fresh and playful char- acter that will differentiate the development from the other similar adjacent development along Holt Boulevard.
6.3 – Massing and Scale
All buildings shall be in sc ale with the surrounding community, with a majority of the building placement to occur toward the boundary of the project site. The prominent building elevations shall face both Holt Boulevard and Brooks Street. Buildings shall be 2 to 5 stories in height, containing a varied amount of units in each building, with varying façade planes so as not to creat a “monotonous” look. Amenities and site design shall be developed with the pedestrian scale in mind.
6.4 – Architectural Details
Architectural variations should occur between buildings to help distinguish each building and create variety within the proposed development. Architectural details should be consistent with the architectural style proposed. Details shall complement and enhance openings, and accentuate the overall design of each building. Detailing can be achieved through the use of different colors, window and door treatments, and a variety in exterior textures and materials (stone, siding, etc.) to create interesting elevations.
Decorative a wnings should be placed where feasible, over south facing windows, and adequate shade should be provided for outdoor spaces. Coverings shall use materials compatible with the architecture style to create a comprehensive building design. Exposed beams shall be integrated into the building design.
177
PUD: Roosevelt T ower, Holt Boulevard, City of Ontario, CA - Revised March, 7 2022 Page 58 Design Guidelines
6.5 – Materials and Color
Materials a nd colors shall be compatible with, and complementary to, the overall architectural style of the project. Larger building masses shall use a combination of dark and light colors to break up building planes, and use light colored trim to help accentuate roof features.
All colors shall be complementary, and the project shall utilize “warm tone” colors. Materials shall be a mixture of stucco, wood, rich stones and masonry siding, in a variety of complementary colors. A concrete or composite roof material shall be used.
6.6 – On-Site Streetscapes and Pedestrian Walkways
Street furniture and decorative paving should be used throughout the project area to enhance architectural design. The use of complementary materials and textures should be used to create a continuity and consistency that is desired throughout the project area.
A variety of decorative elements should be incorporated into the design of the project area, including, but not limited to, benches, tree grates, bike racks, enhanced paving, trash receptacles, and decorative bollards.
A selection of a ppropriate elements shall consider sidewalk widths, size and spacing of street trees, importance of the pedestrian path, and the requirement to maintain a minimum 4-foot wide walkway for pedestrian movement in all areas. All streetscape features shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), along with accessibility requirements for public services, such as police and fire.
6.7 – On-Site Lighting

An Addendum to T he Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2008101140), prepared in conjunction with File No. PGPA06-001, and certified by the City of Ontario City Council on January 27, 2010, was prepared for the project. The Approving Authority for the Project reviewed and considered the information contained in the Addendum, the initial study, and the administrative record for the Project, including all submitted written and oral evidence. Based upon the facts and information contained in the Addendum, the initial study, and the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence, the Approving Authority found as follows:
• T he Addendum and administrative record have been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Ontario Local CEQA Guidelines; and
• T he Addendum contains a complete and accurate reporting of the environmental impac ts associated with the Project, and reflects the independent judgment of the Approving Authority; and
• T here is no substantial evidence in the administrative record supporting a fair argument that the project may result in significant environmental impacts; and • T he project will not introduce any new significant environmental impacts beyond those previously analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report, and all mitigation measures previously adopted by the Environmental Impact Report, are incorporated herein by this reference.
8.1 – Environmental Performance Standards
Due to t he proximity of the project area to rail lines and Holt Avenue which are both generators of noise and emissions, standards have been established to mitigate these environ- mental impacts.
187
PUD: Roosevelt T ower, Holt Boulevard, City of Ontario, CA - Revised March, 7 2022 Page 68 8.1.1 – Noise
T o ensure a proper standard of living, noise levels shall not exceed 65 dBA for exterior noise levels and 45 dBA for interior noise levels. In order to achieve these noise levels the following mitigations shall be followed:
• Prior to t he issuance of building permits, the developer/owner shall retain an acoustic engineer to conduc t an acoustic analysis and identify, where appropriate, site design f eatures (e.g., setbacks, berms, or sound walls), and/or required building acoustical impr ovements (e.g., sound transmission class rated windows, doors and attic baffling), to ensur e compliance with the City’s Noise Compatibility Criteria, and the California State B uilding Code and California Noise Insulation Standards (CCR Titles 24 and 21). • Prior to t he issuance of building permits, the developer/owner shall retain an acoustical engineer to e valuate the potential for trains to create perceptible levels of vibration indoors . If vibration-related impacts are found, mitigation measures, such as use of conc rete, iron, steel, or masonry materials to ensure that levels of vibration amplification a re within acceptable limits to building occupants, shall be implemented. Pursuant to the F ederal Transit Administration vibration-annoyance criteria, these acceptable limits are 78 V dB during the daytime and 72 VdB during the nighttime for residential uses. • Cons truction activities shall only occur between the hours of 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM on weekdays, and 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays; • St ructural noise attenuation requirements contained in Ontario Municipal Code Title 8, Chapter 15, Article 3 (Building Requirements for New Residential Construction in the 65 CNEL to 70 CNEL Noise Zone) are required to be incorporated into exterior façade units located along the eastern, western, and northern project perimeter. • St ructural noise attenuation requirements contained in Ontario Municipal Code Title 8, Chapter 15, Article 2 (Building Requirements for New Residential Construction in the 70 CNEL to 75 CNEL Noise Zone) are required to be incorporated into exterior façade units located along the southern project perimeter;
• Ba lconies on exterior façade units located along the project’s east, south and north frontages shall have a solid balcony barrier of at least 5 feet per study findings. On ex terior façade units located along the project’s south perimeter street frontage, no ba lconies or yard areas shall be permitted; and
• I f required upon findings of a study, a 6-foot high solid decorative masonry block wall with self -closing, sound insulated gates shall be constructed between the buildings located along t he southern edge of the project site. This will ensure exterior noise for outdoor facilities wit hin the project will not exceed 65 dB CNEL.

Pursuant to the requirements of California Government Code Chapter 3, Article 10.6, commencing with Section 65580, as the decision-making body for the Project, the City Council 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, as the project site is not one of the properties in the Housing Element Sites Inventory contained in Tables B-1 and B-2 of the Housing Element Technical Report.
SECTION 3: 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, 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. 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 ONT ALUCP compatibility factors, including [1] Safety Criteria (ONT ALUCP Table 2-2) and Safety Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-2), [2] Noise Criteria (ONT ALUCP Table 2-3) and Noise Impact Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-3), [3] Airspace protection Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-4), and [4] Overflight Notification Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-5). As a result, the DAB, 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 ONT ALUCP; and
SECTION 4: 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 3, above, the City Council hereby concludes as follows:
194
(1) The proposed PUD, or amendment thereto, is consistent with the goals, policies, plans and exhibits of the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan. The proposed Project is located within the MU (Mixed Use) land use district of the Policy Plan Land Use Map, and the MU-1/LUA-3 (Downtown Mixed-Use/Holt Boulevard District) zoning district. The development standards and conditions under which the proposed Project will be constructed and maintained, is consistent with the goals, policies, plans, and exhibits of the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan. (2) The proposed PUD, or amendment thereto, would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the City. The City Council has required certain safeguards, and imposed certain conditions of approval, which have been established to ensure that: [i] the purposes of the MU-1/LUA-3 (Downtown Mixed-Use/Holt Boulevard District) zoning district and The Roosevelt Tower PUD are maintained; [ii] the Project will not endanger the public health, safety or general welfare; [iii] the Project will not result in any significant environmental impacts; [iv] the Project will be in harmony with the area in which it is located; and [v] the Project will be in full conformity with the Vision, City Council Priorities and Policy Plan components of The Ontario Plan vision, and the MU-1/LUA-3 (Downtown Mixed-Use/Holt Boulevard District) zoning district and the Roosevelt Tower PUD.
(3) In the case of an application affecting specific property, the proposed PUD, or amendment thereto, will not adversely affect the harmonious relationship with adjacent properties and land uses. A thorough review and analysis of the proposed Project and its potential to adversely impact properties surrounding the subject site was completed by City staff. As a result of this review, certain design considerations were incorporated into the Project to mitigate identified impacts to an acceptable level, including the use of upgraded materials, the inclusion of certain architectural design elements on building exteriors, intensified landscape elements, and decorative hardscape elements. In addition, conditions of approval have been imposed on the Project, which will mitigate any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. (4) In the case of an application affecting specific property, the subject site is physically suitable, including, but not limited to, parcel size, shape, access, and availability of utilities, for the request and anticipated development. In preparing the proposed PUD, a thorough review and analysis of the proposed Project and the Project site’s physical suitability for the proposed Project was completed, including analysis of the Project size, shape, intensity of development, building height, building setbacks, site access, site landscaping and drainage, fences and walls, vehicle circulation, pedestrian connections, availability of mass transit, necessary street dedication and easements, public right-of-way improvements, availability of utilities and other infrastructure needs, off-street parking and circulation, building orientation and streetscapes, architectural character, building materials and color, and site signage.

1 – INTRODUCTION
T his document is intended to function as a set of planning and design principles, development regulations and performance standards to guide and govern the development of a 57-Unit Residential and Mixed-use Complex located at 549 W. Holt Boulevard in the City of Ontario. The development is a 5-story residential and retail complex bounded by Holt Avenue on its north side and Brooks Street at its south side (see Exhibit 1-2: Location Map).
T he 35,085 SF project site is located within the Ontario Plan Downtown Mixed-Use District (MU-1) which requires the establishment of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) prior to development. The Planned Unit Development (PUD) is set forth in the Ontario Development code section 4.01.030 (Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Amendments). Upon approval, this PUD will establish the land use and development standards for this particular project site.
The Roosevelt T ower on Holt Planned Unit Development (PUD) will replace the existing zone district designations and zoning standards that apply to the affected properties. Unless otherwise defined herein, definitions and interpretations contained in the Development Code shall apply.
Cit y staff and private developers shall rely on this PUD to determine whether precise plans for development will be adequate and will meet the City’s land use and design objectives.

PUD: Roosevelt T ower, Holt Boulevard, City of Ontario, CA - Revised March, 7 2022 Page 9 2 – P.U.D. OBJECTIVES
2.1 – The Ontario Plan (TOP) Objectives
T he Ontario Plan, which includes the City’s General Plan, designates the project area as part of the Downtown Mixed Use District. The Downtown Mixed Use District designation requires approval of an Area Plan or Planned Unit Development to develop the property.
Additionally, the designation specifies a residential density range of 25.0 to 75.0 units per acre and a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 2.0 for office and retail uses.
T he intent of this designation is to:
1. Cr eate “an intensive vertical and horizontal mixture of residential and retail uses in a pedes trian friendly atmosphere;
2. Ensur e the historic character is enhanced when required or appropriate; and
3. Concent rate intensive Land uses on Holt Avenue.
T he Holt & Brooks PUD is consistent with the principles, goals and policies contained within the components that make up The Ontario Plan (TOP), including: ( 1) Vision, (2) Policy Plan (General Plan), and (3) City Council Priorities. The policies furthered by this PUD are as follows:
1. Vision
On F ebruary 13, 2007, the Ontario City Council adopted The Ontario Vision. The central theme that motivates the Vision is - “A sustained, community-wide prosperity which continuously adds value and yields benefits. “Everything the City does and every ac tion the City takes is done with the simple yet comprehensive theme in mind, from t he design quality of the built environment, to the intent of designing soc io-economic programs, to the way in which its leaders govern as a community. In discussing a Vision that would endure for the lifetime of The Ontario Plan (30 years or mor e), the City Council recognized that there are four components that serve as the ba sic building blocks that set the foundation for a unified and prosperous community.
These foundational blocks must be expressed and widely accepted throughout the Pla n’s lifetime. They are:
1. A Dyna mic Balance that enables our community to confront the continued dyna mic growth of the region and technological change with confidence and a sense of oppor tunity.
Objectives
208
PUD: Roosevelt T ower, Holt Boulevard, City of Ontario, CA - Revised March, 7 2022 Page 10 2. A Pr osperous Economy that sustains the perception and reality of prosperity ac ross our entire community that positively impacts all the people of Ontario a nd is broadly - though not uniformly - shared.
3. Dis tinctive Development that integrates our varied and diverse focal points, dis tricts, villages, and neighborhoods to provide a feeling of coherence wit hout sacrificing uniqueness.
4. R ecognized Leadership in local governance that stimulates excellence and ser ves to unify the people of Ontario in support of best practices in conduc ting public endeavors.
Holt & B rooks PUD will implement the Ontario Vision in several ways that will f urther the City’s desire to be a sustainable and prosperous community.
DI STINCTIVE DEVELOPMENT
Commer cial and Residential Development

4.8 – Landscaping
The site design at Roosevelt Towers includes a diverse palette of drought tolerant native and adapted plants selected to provide a low maintenance and colorful landscape while also meeting the challenging requirements of planting on structure.
The building frontage along Holt Avenue consists of a 4’ wide parkway planted with Ev- ergreen Ash trees and a low groundcover of Dwarf Coyote Brush. Setback from the sidewalk are a series of large rectangular planting areas, approximately 150sf each, configured within the building module, allowing views and access to the future retail facades. These large planter areas contain a variety of low water groundcovers with native deciduous Western Redbud trees (tri- angulated with the Evergreen Ash). The hardscape in this area consists of standard grey concrete along the public sidewalk with integral colored sand finish concrete along the building façade and between planters. Decorative paving and hardscape within the 20' dedication shall be maintained by the property owner.
Along Brooks Street the same Baccharis groundcover runs along the parkway with Podo- carpus henkelii as the street tree. Larger foundation shrubs such as Sweet Bay and New Zealand Flax soften the façade and provide screening to utilities in this area.
4.8.1 – Site Landscaping

4.8.2 – Planting Palette
The planting palette shall be comprised of “California friendly” drought tolerant planting materials compatible with the overall architectural style of the Planned Unit Development. The following palette has been established to meet the needs of this Planned Unit Development:
4.8.3 – Common and Open Space L andscaping
The 3rd floor contains a variety of spaces, with landscaping acting as an organizing feature while still providing screening, softening, color, beauty, and shade.
As one approaches the main public amenity space through the central corridor a row of potted Dwarf Olives sits in a bed of low green planters which carries the eye through the space and also bisects the space into two smaller zones. At the terminus of this view is one of 3 spec- imen Ficus trees sitting in an 8’ x 12’ x 42” high raised planter, providing ample space for root structure. T o the north of the olive row is the Children’s Play Area, a 26’ x 52’ semi contained area with two play structures, wood bench seating, umbrellas for shade, and a small turf area for flexible play.
T o the south, adjacent to the gymnasium, is a flexible open space for exercise, yoga, or small recreational games such as table tennis. Heading east is a large 26’ x 40’ shade structure above a flexible dining and lounge space including two BBQ cooking stations. This shade struc- ture partially expands to the east to cover a long wood (or composite) deck seating area.
The planting areas in and around the 3rd floor amenity space can be divided into 3 groups. The first group are the series of “built in” raised planters. These contain the 3 Ficus trees, and also run along the north and south edge of the public amenity space. The longer planters would sit at 42” height, and contain a mix plants including Dwarf Bottlebrush, Sage, and Coast Rosemary.
The second category is the series of narrow linear planters that are used for screening the res- idences while softening the building façade. These would be “off the shelf” rectangular planters, potentially lightweight precast concrete or fiberglass, containing upright plants for screening such as Sweet Bay or Bamboo. Finally, the last group includes low profile green tray plantings. These would be of medium depth, approximately 8”, and may be contract grown ahead of time to pro- vide an immediate impact on day one. Species may include sedums, low ornamental grasses, and other small succulents.
All planting a reas on the 3rd floor will be connected to the buildings irrigation system, and appropriately plumbed for drainage.

5 – CIRCULATION
5.1 – Site Accessibility
T he site shall be designed to promote safety for residents by only allowing limited vehicular and pedestrian access into and across the site. This can be done through building orientation and placement, to minimize the use of gates and fencing; however, amenities shall be properly gated, limiting access to residents and their guests.
5.2 – Vehicular Circulation
T he project site shall be designed to reduce the number of dead end aisles in the parking lot areas, and provide all guest parking outside of gated areas (on site) to ensure accessibility. Location of drive aisles and entries shall be approved by the City. Vehicular circula- tion shall be designed in a way that promotes pedestrian safety and proper access to all parking areas.
5.3 – Pedestrian Circulation
Site design sha ll provide for safe pedestrian circulation across the project site by separating pedestrian areas from areas with vehicular access. This includes, but is not limited to, accessibility from parking lot areas to unit entries, site amenities, and perimeter sidewalk areas.
Fencing and gates may be used to limit public access to resident-only areas.
T he 20’ street-dedication on Holt Boulevard provides a unique opportunity to create a pedestrian promenade that will connect residential foot traffic between residential units, park- ing, and community spaces throughout the site. The space shall be welcoming and designed with landscape features that help define the walking path across the project area. Since no vehicular traffic will be allowed on this widened sidewalk, it is expected that pedestrians will be able to walk safely along the exterior area of the development where retail amenity area also located.
Lighting a nd visibility for enhanced security shall be taken into consideration in designing this area, and shall be compatible with the architectural theme. Buildings shall have windows that look on to this open space area to enhance the views of the residences and help create defensible spaces.

6 – DESIGN GUIDELINES
T he entire project area is covered by the Ontario Plan Policy Plan (General Plan) and has been designated as mixed-use (Holt Boulevard) and as described in the Ontario Plan Downtown Mixed-Use Growth Area. This PUD area will be distinctive through the requirement of a well-designed projects that convey visual interest and character through:
► Appr opriate scale and massing.
► Ar chitectural style and design that are complementary and appropriate to its setting. ► T he use of high quality materials that will create visual interest, high quality, durable a nd appropriate for the architectural style.
► Appr opriate Site Planning to ensure building orientation visibility from the street, adequate number of driv eways and sidewalks. Building setbacks, parking lot orientation, adequate r efuse storage areas and well designed s treet frontages.
6.1 – Building Orientation
B uilding orientation shall be designed to minimize noise impacts, aide in providing property site safety, create proper accessibility to site amenities and parking, and to maximize views from residential units. Design should also be done in a way to create defensible spaces improving site safety.
• Orient ation towards the exterior of the project area shall be carefully evaluated to ensure a pr oper relationship.
• B uildings shall be clustered in a way that creates defensible spaces providing views of interior open spaces a nd amenities. For units without garage spaces buildings shall be oriented to c reate minimal distances from assigned parking spaces to primary or seconda ry residential unit entries.

PUD: Roosevelt T ower, Holt Boulevard, City of Ontario, CA - Revised March, 7 2022 Page 57 Design Guidelines
6.2 – Architectural Character
The Roosevelt T ower design leans toward Contemporary and Modern Minimalist Style.
The design will make use of smooth cement plaster exterior finishes, simple square glazed window and storefront openings and decorative metal canopies throughout the development.
Large angular forms, creating a series of ‘boxes’ are used on both north and south exterior facades to emulate the simple and uncluttered lines - a predominant character of the modernist architectural style used by Nuetra and Schindler popularized in the 1930’s. The use of strong accent colors all throughout the exterior elevations were meant to offer fresh and playful char- acter that will differentiate the development from the other similar adjacent development along Holt Boulevard.
6.3 – Massing and Scale
All buildings shall be in sc ale with the surrounding community, with a majority of the building placement to occur toward the boundary of the project site. The prominent building elevations shall face both Holt Boulevard and Brooks Street. Buildings shall be 2 to 5 stories in height, containing a varied amount of units in each building, with varying façade planes so as not to creat a “monotonous” look. Amenities and site design shall be developed with the pedestrian scale in mind.
6.4 – Architectural Details
Architectural variations should occur between buildings to help distinguish each building and create variety within the proposed development. Architectural details should be consistent with the architectural style proposed. Details shall complement and enhance openings, and accentuate the overall design of each building. Detailing can be achieved through the use of different colors, window and door treatments, and a variety in exterior textures and materials (stone, siding, etc.) to create interesting elevations.
Decorative a wnings should be placed where feasible, over south facing windows, and adequate shade should be provided for outdoor spaces. Coverings shall use materials compatible with the architecture style to create a comprehensive building design. Exposed beams shall be integrated into the building design.
256

6.5 – Materials and Color
Materials a nd colors shall be compatible with, and complementary to, the overall architectural style of the project. Larger building masses shall use a combination of dark and light colors to break up building planes, and use light colored trim to help accentuate roof features.
All colors shall be complementary, and the project shall utilize “warm tone” colors. Materials shall be a mixture of stucco, wood, rich stones and masonry siding, in a variety of complementary colors. A concrete or composite roof material shall be used.
6.6 – On-Site Streetscapes and Pedestrian Walkways
Street furniture and decorative paving should be used throughout the project area to enhance architectural design. The use of complementary materials and textures should be used to create a continuity and consistency that is desired throughout the project area.
A variety of decorative elements should be incorporated into the design of the project area, including, but not limited to, benches, tree grates, bike racks, enhanced paving, trash receptacles, and decorative bollards.
A selection of a ppropriate elements shall consider sidewalk widths, size and spacing of street trees, importance of the pedestrian path, and the requirement to maintain a minimum 4-foot wide walkway for pedestrian movement in all areas. All streetscape features shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), along with accessibility requirements for public services, such as police and fire.
6.7 – On-Site Lighting
Decorative light fix tures compatible with the architectural style of the buildings shall be provided on-site.

An Addendum to T he Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2008101140), prepared in conjunction with File No. PGPA06-001, and certified by the City of Ontario City Council on January 27, 2010, was prepared for the project. The Approving Authority for the Project reviewed and considered the information contained in the Addendum, the initial study, and the administrative record for the Project, including all submitted written and oral evidence. Based upon the facts and information contained in the Addendum, the initial study, and the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence, the Approving Authority found as follows:
• T he Addendum and administrative record have been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Ontario Local CEQA Guidelines; and
• T he Addendum contains a complete and accurate reporting of the environmental impac ts associated with the Project, and reflects the independent judgment of the Approving Authority; and
• T here is no substantial evidence in the administrative record supporting a fair argument that the project may result in significant environmental impacts; and • T he project will not introduce any new significant environmental impacts beyond those previously analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report, and all mitigation measures previously adopted by the Environmental Impact Report, are incorporated herein by this reference.
8.1 – Environmental Performance Standards
Due to t he proximity of the project area to rail lines and Holt Avenue which are both generators of noise and emissions, standards have been established to mitigate these environ- mental impacts.
266
PUD: Roosevelt T ower, Holt Boulevard, City of Ontario, CA - Revised March, 7 2022 Page 68 8.1.1 – Noise
T o ensure a proper standard of living, noise levels shall not exceed 65 dBA for exterior noise levels and 45 dBA for interior noise levels. In order to achieve these noise levels the following mitigations shall be followed:
• Prior to t he issuance of building permits, the developer/owner shall retain an acoustic engineer to conduc t an acoustic analysis and identify, where appropriate, site design f eatures (e.g., setbacks, berms, or sound walls), and/or required building acoustical impr ovements (e.g., sound transmission class rated windows, doors and attic baffling), to ensur e compliance with the City’s Noise Compatibility Criteria, and the California State B uilding Code and California Noise Insulation Standards (CCR Titles 24 and 21). • Prior to t he issuance of building permits, the developer/owner shall retain an acoustical engineer to e valuate the potential for trains to create perceptible levels of vibration indoors . If vibration-related impacts are found, mitigation measures, such as use of conc rete, iron, steel, or masonry materials to ensure that levels of vibration amplification a re within acceptable limits to building occupants, shall be implemented. Pursuant to the F ederal Transit Administration vibration-annoyance criteria, these acceptable limits are 78 V dB during the daytime and 72 VdB during the nighttime for residential uses. • Cons truction activities shall only occur between the hours of 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM on weekdays, and 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays; • St ructural noise attenuation requirements contained in Ontario Municipal Code Title 8, Chapter 15, Article 3 (Building Requirements for New Residential Construction in the 65 CNEL to 70 CNEL Noise Zone) are required to be incorporated into exterior façade units located along the eastern, western, and northern project perimeter. • St ructural noise attenuation requirements contained in Ontario Municipal Code Title 8, Chapter 15, Article 2 (Building Requirements for New Residential Construction in the 70 CNEL to 75 CNEL Noise Zone) are required to be incorporated into exterior façade units located along the southern project perimeter;
• Ba lconies on exterior façade units located along the project’s east, south and north frontages shall have a solid balcony barrier of at least 5 feet per study findings. On ex terior façade units located along the project’s south perimeter street frontage, no ba lconies or yard areas shall be permitted; and
• I f required upon findings of a study, a 6-foot high solid decorative masonry block wall with self -closing, sound insulated gates shall be constructed between the buildings located along t he southern edge of the project site. This will ensure exterior noise for outdoor facilities wit hin the project will not exceed 65 dB CNEL.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:
The Substantial Amendment allocates $2,713,297 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program American Rescue Plan Act (HOME-ARP) funds awarded to the City of Ontario.
These funds include up to 15% ($406,994) for eligible administration costs. If approved, the associated revenue and expenditures will be included in the FY 2022-23 Mid-Year Budget Update to the City Council.
The administration allowance of the HOME-ARP allocation will be used to hire one Administrative Technician and Administrative Specialist. Both of these positions will be used to administer the rental assistance program being recommended for funding with the HOME-ARP funds. Upon the exhaustion of the HOME-ARP Administration funding, these two positions will be funded by the General Fund if there is no additional Housing funding available.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
On May 4, 2021, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2021-22 One-Year Annual Action Plan as part of the Consolidated Plan. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ("ARP") was signed by President Biden on March 11, 2021, to deliver direct relief to the American people, stabilize the American economy, and mitigate lasting impacts from the COVID-19 270
pandemic. The ARP made available HOME-ARP funds to entitlement jurisdictions.
On September 13, 2021, HUD published a memorandum of Waivers and Alternative Requirements for Implementation of the HOME American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) Program. Among the waivers authorized was the allowance of 15% of HOME-ARP funds to be used for program administration.
A summary of the programs recommended are below:

3 HOME-ARP Plan ONTARIO 2023
Executive Summary
The City of Ontario has been allocated $2,713,297 of HOME -American Rescue Plan Act (HOME -ARP funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In order to receive the HOME-ARP allocation, the City must develop a HOME -ARP Allocation Plan that will become part of the City’s PY 2021 HUD Annual Action Plan by substantial amendment. To ensure broad input into the HOME- ARP Allocation Plan from stakeholders and the public, the City engaged in consultation with stakeholders and the public, including a virtual consultation session, a survey of stakeholders, a 15-day public comment period, and a public hearing.
The needs assessment and gap analysis identified the following needs and gaps within the City:
• In January 202 2, the annual Point in Time (PIT) count revealed that 88 people were residing in emergency housing, either in sh elter or transitional housing. Another 105 people were unsheltered on the streets, in tents or makeshift shelters, or in cars, vans, RVs or campers. • The 2015-2019 CHAS Data from HUD reported 6,100 households with incomes at or below 30% AMI are at risk of homelessness in the City.
• The 201 5-2019 HUD CHAS data indicates there are 4,245 renter households with an annual income at or below 30% AMI with a cost burden that are at greatest risk of housing instability. • The greatest need for supportive services is in the areas of affordable housin g, financial assistance, homeless services, employment training services, and youth services.
To address these needs within the community, the City will utilize HOME-ARP funds to establish a tenant- based rental assistance program and administration and planning for the HOME-ARP program.

Consultation and Public Participation
HUD requires each HOME -ARP Participating Jurisdiction to consult with agencies and service pr oviders whose clientele include the HOME -ARP qualifying populations. Agencies that must, at a minimum, be consulted include the Continuum of Care serving the jurisdiction’s geographic area, homeless and domestic violence service providers, veterans’ groups , public housing agencies (PHAs), public agencies that address fair housing, civil rights, and the needs or persons with disabilities.
HUD also requires that each Participating Jurisdiction provide opportunities for the public to comment on the proposed Al location Plan, including the amount of HOME -ARP funds that will be received and the range of activities that the City may undertake.
To ensure broad input into the HOME -ARP Allocation Plan from stakeholders and the public, the City engaged in consultation with stakeholders and the public, including a virtual consultation session, a community and stakeholder survey, a 15-day public comment period, and a public hearing.
Summarize the Consultation Process
The City of Ontario consulted with representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, addressing homelessness, and the provision of services to qualifying populations in preparing it’s HOME-ARP Allocation Plan. These stakeholders have relevant knowledge that can speak to the needs, service gaps, and potential activities that would best benefit the qualifying populations.
Staff hosted a virtual session on December 1, 2022, with representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations invited to attend. Those unable to attend were invited to submit written comments via emails or schedule a phone call to share their thoughts. The virtual consultation session included an overview of the HOME-ARP notice to inform attendees of the qualifying populations and eligible activities, an opportunity to ask clarifying questions, a request for input into needs , gaps, priority populations and activities, and an overview of the City’s HOME-ARP Allocation Plan timeline and process.
A survey consisting of 11 questions was shared with the consulted agencies and the at large community with the intention of quantifying the preferred use of the HOME -ARP funds. The City received survey responses from November 14 , 2022 until December 4 , 2022. Preliminary s urvey results were shared during the virtual session on December 1, 2022.
The City’s virtual session was attended by 11 representatives of 10 agencies. The survey received 54 responses from both c ommunity members and service agencies. All HOME-ARP required agency types were represented in either the virtual session or the online survey or by email. 275

HOME-ARP Plan ONTARIO 2023 11 Needs Assessment and Gaps Analysis
The needs assessment and gap analysis must evaluate the size and demographic composition of HOME - ARP qualifying populations, and unmet needs of HOME-ARP qualifying populations. In addition, the needs assessment and gap analysis must identify any gaps within its current shelter and housing inventory, and service delivery system. This needs assessment and gap analysis focuses on the following:
1. Sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations;
2. Currently housed populations at risk of homelessness;
3. Other families requiring services or housing to prevent homelessness; and
4. Those at greatest risk of housing instability or unstable housing situations.

Describe the size and demographic composition of qualifying populations within the PJ’s boundaries:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that all Continuum of Care jurisdictions across the country complete a biennial unsheltered count and an annual sheltered count of all individuals experiencing homelessness in the community on a single point in time. The February 2022 point-in-time (PIT) count of both sheltered and unsheltered homelessness published by San Bernardino County Continuum of Care, the lead Continuum of Care agency, is used for this analysis. The County’s PIT does not report on family status.
Homeless
At the time of the PIT, there were 3,333 homeless persons in San Bernardino County. Of this total, 71.7% 2,389 persons) were unsheltered and 28.3% (944 persons) were sheltered.
Of the 2,389 unsheltered persons counted, 2,373 were adults and 16 were children under age 18 in families. White persons made up 61% of the total homeless population, 18% were Black or African American, 15% are listed in the Other category, 3% are American Indian or Al aska Native, and 1% were Asian. Hispanic or Latinos made up nearly 36% of the 2,373 unsheltered homeless persons. Additionally, there were 166 veterans, 56 transitional age youth (18 -24 years old), and 166 persons experiencing homelessness due to fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
There were 944 people experiencing sheltered homelessness in the County at the time of the PIT. People are considered sheltered when they are residing in emergency shelter or transitional ho using, but not when they are receiving rapid rehousing assistance or residing in permanent supportive housing. Among individuals experiencing sheltered homelessness , White persons made up 53% of the total sheltered 283
HOME-ARP Plan ONTARIO 2023 13 population, 32% were Black or African American, 10% are listed in the Oth er category, and 3% are American Indian or Alaska Native . 50% of the 944 sheltered homeless persons identified as Hispanic or Latino. Additionally, there were 29 veterans, 56 transitional age youth (18-24 years old), and 71 persons experiencing homelessness due to fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
At Risk of Homelessness
To account for persons at‐risk of becoming homeless, the most recent (201 5‐2019) Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data was analyzed. This data contains two particular characteristics of households that meets the definition of “at risk of homelessness” found in 24 CFR Part 91.5. F irst, the CHAS data breaks down occupied housing units by HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI), including 30% and below of HAMFI (HUD Area Median Family Income). Next, the CHAS data provides information on occupied housing units with households that are severely cost burdened; that is, they are spending more than 50% of their income on housing related expenses. For renters, that includes rent and utilities.
The CHAS data shows that of the 23,505 renter households in the City of Ontario, 4,245 or 1 8% are occupied by households earning 30% or less of the HAMFI. Further, of these households, 88% (3,740) have one or more housing problems, defined as housing units that: 1) lack complete kitchen facilities; 2) lack complete plumbing facilities; 3) are over over crowded; and 4) are cost burdened. A household is said to have a housing problem if they have any one or more of these four problems.
CHAS data revealed that of the 4,245 households earning less than 30% HAMFI, 77% are severely cost - burdened. Severely cost burdened households are spend ing more than 50% of their income on housing related expenses, leaving the remaining 50% or less of their income available for other daily necessities such as food, gas, and healthcare. Households under this cost burden are often forced to choose between housing stability and other necessities putting them at a higher risk of homelessness.
Fleeing, or Attempting to Flee, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, Stalking, or Human Trafficking, as defined by HUD in the Notice
The State of California Department of Justice maintains stati stics on domestic violence statewide by jurisdiction. In 2021, the local law enforcement agencies responded to a total of 746 calls related to domestic violence in the City.
Therefore, if each one of these calls represented a household with mem ber(s) who required housing assistance, it can be estimated that there were up to 320 households in 2021 who were in need of some form of housing assistance. The form of housing assistance required may vary depending on the specific circumstances of each case.
In a ddition to those households above estimated to b e in need of housing assistance, the 20 22 San Bernardino County Point in Time count reported 166 unsheltered homeless persons and 71 sheltered homeless persons currently experiencing homelessness due to fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking.
284
HOME-ARP Plan ONTARIO 2023 14 Other Populations
Other populations, as defined by HOME-ARP, include those who:
1. Are currently housed and at risk of repeat homelessness;
2. Have incomes at or below 30% AMI and are experiencing severe housing cost burden; and
3. Otherwise meet the definition of at risk of homelessness and have incomes of more than 30% and at or below 50% AMI.
Currently Housed and at Risk of Repeat Homelessness
The Homelessness Policy Research Institute indicates that up to 10.3% of individuals exiting emergency shelter or transitional housing in any given year will return to homelessness within 12 months. The San Bernardino County PIT showed that in 2022, 944 persons were in emergency shelters and transitional housing facilities, therefore the risk of repeat homelessness is approximately 85 people per year.
At Greatest Risk of Housing Instability
Persons at greatest risk of housing instability are those that: 1) are earning 30% or below the HAMFI and are severely cost-burdened (paying 50% or more on housing); or 2) are earning 50% or less of HAMFI and meet one of the following conditions:
1. Has moved two or more times in the two months immediately preceding their application for homelessness prevention assistance;
2. Is living in the home of another because of economic hardship;
3. Has been formally notified of eviction within 21 days after the date of application for assistance;
4. Lives in a hotel or motel and the cost of staying at the hotel or motel is not borne by a federal, state, or local government program;
5. Lives in an over -crowded (more than one person per ro om) single -room occupancy (SRO) or efficiency apartment units, or lives in a severely overcrowded (more than 1.5 persons per room) larger housing unit;
6. Is exiting a publicly funded institution, or system of care (health care facility, mental health facility, foster care or other youth facility, or correction program or institution); or
7. Otherwise lives in housing that has characteristics associated with instability and an increased risk of homelessness, as identified in the recipient’s approved Consolidated Plan.
For the first group of households at greatest risk of housing instability, 2015-2019 HUD CHAS data indicates there are 4,680 renter households with annual income less than 30% AMI that are severely cost burdened.
Information on each of the conditions listed above for the second category of persons at greatest risk of housing instability is not readily available, with the exception of data on overcrowding. The 2015-2019 CHAS data described 7,095 households in the City of Ontario earning 50% or less of the AMI, with at least 1 of 4 Housing Problems. As one of these Housing Problems is overcrowding, potentially, 30% of all 23,505 renter households within the City are at risk of housing instability.
285
HOME-ARP Plan ONTARIO 2023 15 Unmet Housing Needs of Qualifying Populations
The greatest unmet housing need of qualifying populations is the availability of affordable rental housing.
As the table below shows, only 4.5% of the more than 23,505 rental units in the City are available to households with incomes at or below 50% AMI. The level of need for affordable rental units for households with i ncomes at or below 50% AMI is more than 22 times the available units, according to HUD CHAS data for 2015-2019.
Available Affordable
Units Level of Need GAP
Total Rental Units 23,505
<=30% AMI 49 4,245 4,196

<=50% AMI 532 5,520 4,988
Total 1,139 13,405 12,266
Unmet Service Needs of Qualifying Populations
Based on consultation with service providers in the City, the greatest unmet service needs of qualifying populations, including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations, currently housed populations at risk of homelessness, other families requiring services or assistance to prevent homelessness, and those at greatest risk of housing instability or in unstable housing situations are expanded:
• Financial Assistance
• Outreach Services
• Case Management Services
Current Resources Available to Assist Qualifying Populations
Current available resources considered include:
1. Transitional Housing;
2. Supportive services;
3. Tenant-base rental assistance;
4. Emergency Rental Assistance; and
5. Affordable and permanent supportive housing
6. Housing Choice Vouchers
Current Resources: Transitional Housing
The City uses Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) monies to fund the Assisi House program. The Assisi House provides up to 24 months of transitional housing for s ingle men and women and mothers with children. The program has the capacity to house up to 8 single men, 8 single women and 6 mothers and their children.
Current Resources: Supportive Services
The City is served by many local and regional organizations offering supportive services to the residents.
The 2022-23 CDBG and ESG (Emergency Solutions Grant) allocations fund public service activities serving teens, domestic violence victims, and individuals and families experiencing homelessness 286
HOME-ARP Plan ONTARIO 2023 16 Current Resources: Tenant Based Rental Assistance
The City uses HOME Investment Partnership to funds a Tenant Based Rental Ass istance Program. In PY 2021-22 the TBRA program assisted 38 households. TBRA is targeted specifically to homeless persons who can display prior permanent residency in the City.
Current Resources: Emergency Rental Assistance
In 2020, the City received an emergency allocations of Emergency Solutions Grant – CARES Act (ESG-CV) to respond to the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. Using these funds, the City developed the Emergency Rent and Utility Assistance Program (ERUAP) to benefit households earning less than 50% of the AMI who had been notified of eviction within 21 day s for non-payment of rent. In PY 21-22, ERUAP benefitted 116 households.
Current Resources: Affordable and Permanent Supportive Rental Housing A total of 62 affordable housing units were acquired and rehabilitated by the City to be used as part of the City’s local Continuum of Care. These units are at the following locations: 307-309-311 West Francis Street (15 units), 411/412 North Parkside Avenue (15 units), 209 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), 216 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), 217 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), 222 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), 223 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), 228 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), 231 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), and 3 05 North Begonia Avenue (4 units). These units provide a range of affordability levels for tenants. Currently there is no permanent supportive housing in the City.
Current Resources: Housing Choice Vouchers
Public housing programs in Ontario are conducted through an agreement with the H ousing Authority of the County of San Bernardino. The HACSB manages approximately 747 Section 8 vouchers within Ontario.
The City of Ontario worked in collaboration with HACSB and the Ontario Housing Authority to secure S+C funding. Twelve (12) S+C vouchers have been awarded to assist qualified S+C households through an application referred to as “Project Gateway.”
Shelter, Housing and Service Delivery System Gaps
Shelter Gap
There is an estimated need for 1 05 additional shelter beds based on the 20 22 PIT count. The PIT count found that there were 75 persons in emergency shelter in the City but 105 unsheltered persons in a variety of situations, including on the street, in makeshift shelters, or in cars, vans or RVs/campers. The 2022 PIT count does not define how many were individuals, in family units, or children.
Tenant-based Rental Assistance Gap
There is an estimated gap of 5,407 tenant-based rental assistance vouchers for households with income at or below 50% AMI and paying more than 50% of household income for rent, including utilities. The number of tenant-based rental assistance vouchers was calculated using HUD CHAS and is equal to the number of renter households with income at or below 50% AMI who are paying more than 50% of household income for rent, less the amount of TBRA vouchers currently in use. 287

The number of Affordable Rental Units was calculated using HUD CHAS Data Table 7 and is equal to the number of renter households paying more than 50% of household income for rent, including utilities. The Affordable Rental Unit gap was calculated by subtracting the amount of affordable housing units currently available households at these income levels by the amount of renter households at these income levels in the City.

That unit need includes 5,640 extremely-/very low-income units, 3,286 low-income units, and 3,329 moderate income units.
Permanent supportive rental housing is a subset of the affordable rental housing gap, primarily for households wi th income at or below 30% AMI. In addition to affordable rent, permanent supportive housing provides an array of services necessary to help people with disabilities and/or experiencing chronic homelessness to retain housing stability. There is an estimated gap of 280 permanent supportive housing units in the City.
The number of Permanent Supportive Rental Housing Units needed was calculated by multiplying the current population of the City, according to the California Census 2020, by the per capita need (.003182) as calculated by the Corporation for Supportive Housing.

Service Delivery System Gap
To identify gaps in the service delivery system, the City relied on its consultation with stakeholders and experience working with the organizations working in the City. The stakeholders believe that the most critical service gaps are in the areas of financial assistance in the form of rent and utility payments, housing search and counseling services, and outreach services. The stakeholders also believed there was a need for assistance with general administrative costs and capacity building among the service providers serving the City’s qualifying populations.
Characteristics of Housing Associated with Increased Risk of Homelessness for Other Populations
For other populations, severe housing cost burden (paying more than 50% of household income for rent and utilities) is the primary characteristic of housing associated with the risk of homelessness in the City.
The HUD CHAS Data Table 7 indicates there are 5,445 households at or below 50% AMI who are spending more than 50% of their household income on rent and utilities.
Priority Needs for Qualifying Populations
Homeless
An article on the website policyadvice.net, The State of Homelessness in the US 2022, uses PBS as a source for the following statistics:
• 25% of homeless people have a mental illness
• 38% have an alcohol abuse issue
• 26% have a drug abuse issue
That information, and other research, indicates that there is a need for mental health services and substance abuse services for the homeless in the City. Participants in the consultation process believed that homelessness was best served by the development of additional shelter beds, affordable housing, and TBRA assistance for housing. The priority needs for supportive services included housing search mental health services, financial assistance, and case management.
At Risk of Homelessness
One of the indicators of risk of homelessness is housing cost burden. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, in their State of Homelessness: 2021 Edition, households expe riencing a severe housing cost burden and households “doubling up” or sharing housing are both at a greater risk of homelessness than they were in 2007. They used numbers from 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic and project that reduced work hours and eleva ted unemployment will have increased those at risk.
Participants in the consultation process believed those at risk of homelessness in the City would benefit 289
HOME-ARP Plan ONTARIO 2023 19 from additional rental assistance programs, expanded TBRA programming, and reinforced supportive services.
Fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking or human trafficking
The National Resource Center on Domestic Violenc e reports that domestic violence is frequently an immediate cause or precursor to homelessness and housing instability and that more than a third of domestic violence survivors report becoming homeless immediately after separating from their partners.
The national Institute of Justice reports that one homeless woman in four is homeless mainly because of her experiences with violence. That violence can include categories of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking or human trafficking.
Participants in the consultation process believed those dealing with fleeing unsafe relationships or living situations, would benefit from supportive services offering rental assistance, case management services, mental health services, affordable housing, and expanded TBRA.
Housing instability and homelessness prevention
Housing instability encompasses a number of challenges, such as difficulty paying rent, overcrowding, moving frequently, staying with friends or family, or rent burden. Those populations affected by housing instability can include children and people who have spent time in prison. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, those affected by housing instability may live in substandard housing subjecting them to health and safety risks, live in overcrowded units, or may undergo forced moves that can result in homelessness.
Participants in the consultation process believed that housing instability, often caused by rent burden, and preventing homelessness was best addressed with affordable re ntal housing, rent assistance, expanded TBRA programming, and supportive services including fair housing, housing counseling, credit repair services, and eviction defense.
290
HOME-ARP Plan ONTARIO 2023 20 Home-ARP Activities
The City has surveyed service provider to assess their capacity to provide eviction prevention services and found that virtually all service providers are at their capacity due to staffing shortages. The City determined to administer eligible activities directly to the community and will not solicit any applications for funding. The City has the capacity and funding to create a program for medium term rental assistance and payment of back rent.

Statutory
Limit

Total HOME ARP Allocation $ 2,713,297
The City will utilize 100% of its HOME-ARP funding towards the implementation of a Medium Term Rental Assistance Eviction Prevention Program, with $2, 306,303 towards TBRA, and $ 406,994 for program administration.
Rationale for Use of HOME-ARP Funding
Medium Term Rent Assistance The most recent data available from HUD estimates that there are 5,445 households with income at or below 50% AMI, paying more than 50% of household income for rent. This population is at risk of homelessness and the provision of rental assistance will yield greater housing stability. The City has previously used CDBG-CV and ESG-CV funds to administer similar rental assistance programs. Rising rental costs and an un stable job market ha s created a continued need for this type of program in the City. This plan allocates $ 2,306,303 towards a Medium Term Rental Assistance Program administered by the City of Ontario’s Housing Department.
Administration and Plannin g This plan allocates $ 406,994 towards the administration and planning functions of the HOME-ARP funds at the statutory limit.

Preferences
The City of Ontario will not provide preferences to any population or subpopulation.
HOME-ARP Refinancing Guidelines
The City of Ontario does not plan to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds. Therefore, refinancing guidelines pursuant to 24 CFR 92.206(b) are not applicable to this HOME-ARP Allocation

Evaluation of past performance
The City was able to make progress toward achieving many of its short and long -term housing and community development goals established within the FY 20 20-24 Consolidated Plan. These efforts were reflected in the creation and implementation of pro -active programs and projects designed to increase the availability of affordable housing, construction of a number of important infrastructure improvements, and pres ervation/expansion of public service programs and have been detailed in the annual submission of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports.
Listed below is a brief summary of the goals and accomplishments from the FY 2020-24 Consolidated Plan. Please note the accomplishment data is through June 30, 2020.
A. Housing Strategy
Priority 1: Expand affordable rental housing opportunities, particularly for low -income persons.
Five-Year Total Goal: 202
Accomplishments through June 30, 20 20: 114 households were assisted through the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program
Evaluation: The demand for new affordable rental units remains high within Ontario. The City continuously seeks opportunities for funding for construction of additional affordable housing units, including funding that has recently become available through the State of California including the following programs: Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program (AHSC), Veterans Housing and Homeless Prevention Program (VHHP), a nd other new possible State funding. The City implemented a Tenant Based Rental Assistance program targeted at chronically homeless individuals and families over the past year.
Priority 2: Preserve existing rental and owner-occupied housing resources.
Five-Year Total Goal: 1,563
Accomplishment through June 30, 2020: 337
Evaluation: Over the past year, the City implemented the following programs to address this priority:
• Conservation Home Improvement Program
• Multi-Family Rehabilitation and Monitoring Activities • Community Improvement Team (Code Enforcement)
301
The programs implemented by the City over the past year had a significant impact on preserving the existing rental and owner-occupied housing stock within Ontario. The demand has remained high for these type of services is estimated to remain high for the next year.
Priority 3: Increase affordable homeownership opportunities, particularly for low - and moderate-income persons.
Five-Year Total Goal: 0
Accomplishments through June 30, 2020: 157
Evaluation: The most successful homeownership programs in terms of number of households assisted were operated by private and non -profit housing service organizations. Ontario continues to partner with the private sector and non -profit housing service orga nizations to increase affordable homeownership opportunities within Ontario utilizing these federal and state programs that are already available to low- and moderate-income households.
B. Homeless Strategy
Priority 1: Preserve and improve the supply of su pportive housing and public services for the homeless.
Five-Year Goal: 31,250 persons served
Accomplishments through June 30, 2020: 3,727 persons served Evaluation: The City of Ontario over the past year continued to operate a comprehensive Continuum of Care Program within Ontario.
The demand for homeless programs and services is still strong. On a federal and state funding level, the availability of funding for tran sitional housing type products is dwindling. The federal and state funding has transitioned to “Housing First” type products. The City of Ontario is strategically investigating conversion of transitional housing programs into permanent supportive housing programs to ensure the viability of funding for housing options available to address the homeless within Ontario.
C. Special Needs Strategy
Priority 1: Preserve and improve the supply of supportive housing and public services to special needs populations.
Five-Year Goal: 750
Accomplishments through June 30, 2020: 157 persons served Evaluation: Over the past year, the City of Ontario encouraged partnerships to deliver supportive housing services and public services to special needs population, including the following programs:
302
• Senior Services operated by Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board • Project Gateway, a supportive housing program to assist chronically homeless households with mental illness secure permanent housing with a myriad of supportive housing services. Project Gateway is a partnership with the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino, County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health, Mercy House Living Centers, Ontario Housing Authority, and the City of Ontario.
The funding for the supportive housing programs that were implemented over the past year were successful and the City continues to see demand for these types of services.
D. Fair Housing Strategy
Priority 1: Continue to implement the Fair Housing laws by providing fundi ng to further fair housing.
Five-Year Goals: 7,500 persons served
Accomplishments through June 30, 2020: 932 persons served Evaluation: This program has continued to assist the City in meeting its obligations to affirmatively further fair housing choice within Ontario.
E. Public Housing Strategy
Priority 1: Continue to support the on -going efforts of the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino and the Ontario Housing Authority to maximize the use of Section 8 subsidies and other resources in the City.
Evaluation: The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) implements the public housing strategy within Ontario. The HACSB is a Moving -To-Work (MTW) Public Housing Authority. With this designation, the HACSB is permitted to se ek exemption from many existing Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher program rules found in the United States Housing Act of 1937 in pursuit of the three MTW statutory objectives:
• Reduce cost and achieve greater costs of effectiveness in Federal expenditures; • Give incentives to families with children where the head of household is working, is seeking work, or is preparing for work by participating in job training, educational programs, or programs that assist people to obtain employment and become economically self-sufficient; and
• Increase housing choices for low-income families.
The HACSB has implemented a variety of programs that have achieved the MTW statutory objectives listed above.
303
The City of Ontario continues to believe that a working partnershi p with the HACSB will provide the greatest opportunity to provide high quality services to Ontario residents with the public housing strategy.
F. Community Development Strategy
The Community Development Strategy did not have annual goals as the goals were generally focused on larger long-term needs. All four priorities will be discussed and evaluated together.
Priority 1: Provide needed infrastructure improvements in target lower- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
Priority 2: Provide for new community facilities, neighborhood enhancement activities, and improve the quality of existing community facilities to serve lower - and moderate -income neighborhoods.
Priority 3: Provide needed community services to serve lower- and moderate-income residents.
Priority 4: Expand the City’s economic base and promote greater employment opportunities.
Evaluation: Over the past year, the City has continued to invest in the City’s infrastructure (water, street, sewers, parks, storm drains, and public facilities) and monit or the infrastructure needs.
The City continues to thoughtfully focus resources through a Five -Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP is used as a tool by the City to: (1) identify capital improvement needs, and (2) coordinate the financing and ti ming of those needs in a manner that assures the most responsible and efficient use of the City’s limited resources.
The City will continue to utilize the CIP as a tool to identify needs throughout the community and focus resources to address those needs.
As it relates to the community services to serve lower- and moderate-income residents, the City has funded public service providers that have been focused on crime prevention and child care services. These programs consistently are identified as a high nee d through outreach to Ontario residents.
Lastly, the City continues to pursue activities to expand the City’s economic base and promote greater employment opportunities. The City has actively pursued other funding sources for these activities other than utilizing CDBG for these type of activities.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
Introduction
As part of its research on the needs of low income residents, and the development of strategies to address those needs, the City of Ontario Housing Department consulted with a number of other organizations that provide services to Ontario residents.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
The City of Ontario Housing Department staff members work on a continual basis with a number of regional agencies, including non -profit agencies, affordable housing providers, San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health, the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino, and the Ontario Hou sing Authority. The coordination between the City and these agencies provides better service and resources to the public on programs and services available through a variety of agencies.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to addre ss the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The City works in partnership with the County of San Bernardino Office of Homeless Services in support of the County's Continuum of Care to address homelessness on a regional basis. As part of this partnership, the Continuum of Care Manager regularly attends the County of San Bernardino's Interagency Homeless Policy Council. In addition, a staff member from the City is a board member of the West Valley Regional Steering Committee sponsored by the Office of Homeless Services.

Narrative (optional)
The City works in cooperation with Mercy House Living Centers, the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health, and the Housing Authority of th e County of San Bernardino to implement the Project Gateway program to provide housing assistance and services for homeless persons. Project Gateway provides 12 Project Based Rental Assistance units at eight different locations throughout the City of Ontario for clients that are homeless and mentally ill, or dual diagnosed. The City of Ontario established the HOME Tenant -Based Rental Assistance (“TBRA”) Program to help Ontario’s chronically homeless individuals and families secure permanent housing through temporary rental subsidies with or without rental security deposits and/or utility deposits. The program is administered by Mercy House Living Centers.
In addition to Project Gateway and HOME TBRA, the City works in cooperation with Mercy House Living Centers, House of Ruth, and Inland Valley Hope Partners to provide additional housing assistance services to homeless persons and persons who were recently homeless but now live in permanent housing. These organizations provide a wide range of services includi ng housing referrals, assistance in identifying and obtaining resources necessary to obtain housing, transitional housing programs, and emergency shelter. Mercy House also provides an aftercare services program to assist formerly homeless individuals now living in permanent housing to ensure ongoing housing stability. 314

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied The City will seek a vailable funding opportunities to leverage federal funds in meeting the goals established by this One Year Action Plan. Potential funding sources that could be used to leverage federal funds include Low Income Housing Tax Credits, Transformative Climate Co mmunities (TCC) Grant, Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities funds, CalHome funds, and local in -lieu fees for the development of affordable housing.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low -income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
The specific location of housing and community development projects is a crucial issue. It is important that projects designed to clear blighting conditions are conducted in areas that are actually blighted, and that public service programs are provided at locations convenient to their clients. All HUD funded activities will be implemented in low- and moderate-income service areas, as defined by HUD, with the exception of some public service projects, which are intended to serve CDBG -eligible persons on a citywide basis.
The City has established as a high priority, the investment of CDBG funds into targeted neig hborhoods to help the City eliminate slum and blight conditions and improve the living conditions of the residents.
In order for an area to be considered as deteriorated or deteriorating the following conditions shall be met:
• A significant number of the properties located within the area must contain visible code violations affecting the property values in the area (such as lack of or insufficient landscaping, deteriorated paint, accumulations of debris, evidence of deferred maintenance, etc.); • Infrastructure conditions that require attention (such as lack of sidewalks or sidewalks in disrepair, streets in disrepair, lack of or unmaintained street trees, etc.); • May contain areas designated as targeted project areas; • At least three of the five identified factors contributing to deterioration available through Census data shall be met
o % of population below the poverty level ≥ 20%
o % of vacant structures ≥ 5%
o % of total occupied housing units that are overcrowded ≥ 20% o % of units lacking complete plumbing and/or kitchen facilities ≥ 1% o % of renter and/or owner occupied units experiencing a cost burden ≥ 30% Area must demonstrate that both public or private improvements and/or services will occur within the area.
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City has reviewed proposed projects and designed a program to arrest the decline in qualified areas.
This approach includes targeting several projects to a specific area to have the biggest impact on that neighborhood. By allocating CDBG funds geographically, the City is able to change the overall conditions within targeted areas and leverage the use of CDBG funds with other resources. 351

accounts are established. After five years, the savings account is available to the household to pay for costs associated with independent living.
The City of Ontario worked in collaboration with HACSB and the Ontario Housing Authority to secure S+C funding. Twelve (12) S+C vouchers have been awarded to assist qualified S+C households through an application referred to as “Project Gateway.” As stated earlier, the City and the Ontario Housing Authority are actively pursuing additional opportunities to secure project based vouchers to assist in neighborhood revitalization strategies that also support Ontario’s Continuum of Care for the homeless.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership

Introduction
In addition to the housing activities already discussed in the One -Year Action Plan, the City will address key fair housing recommendations and objectives identified in the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI).
The AI addresses five specific target groups, tenants and property purchasers, property owners and managers, realtors, lenders and local government. Recommendations, actions, and a time period for completion will be completed for each target group.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment Although the City does not have control over a number of factors that present barriers to affordable housing, the City does impleme nt many programs to help facilitate the construction of affordable housing and assist renters and homeowners.
The City implements various housing programs to reduce or modify development standards that add costs to constructing affordable housing. These may include modification of parking, open space, and other standards through administrative exceptions. Moreover, considerable fee reductions are offered in return for affordability agreements. Finally, developers of affordable housing are also able to secure density bonuses that work to increase the cash flow of a project and indirectly mitigate the cost of construction, land costs, and financing constraints.

HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2)
1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows:
The City does not use HOME funds in any other manner than those described in Section 92.205.
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
The City will utilize recapture provisions for HOME -funded homebuyer activities. The City will recapture net proceeds after the homebuyer has recovered the homebuyer’s entire investment (homebuyer’s downpayment plus allowable expenditures for capi tal improvements made by the homebuyer). After the homebuyer’s investment has been recovered, the City will then recapture the entire HOME loan amount or the portion remaining thereof in net proceeds. The amount subject to recapture is the direct subsidy m ade to the homebuyer. Capital improvements are permanent real property improvements and do not include maintenance items. The following items are examples of capital improvements: room addition, patio cover, in -ground pool and kitchen remodel. The following items are considered maintenance and would be ineligible for deduction: tools, annual flowers, and light bulbs. Painting and carpeting may be considered if the receipt is within five years and it adds to the overall value of the home.
An example of the recapture calculation is shown below:
HOME downpayment assistance = $10,000
Homebuyer downpayment = $2,000
Eligible capital improvements = $3,000
Net proceeds = $12,000
Net proceeds – Homebuyers Investment = Remaining net proceeds available for recapture ($12,000 - $5,000 = $7,000).
In this example, the amount of HOME funds recaptured would be $7,000.
3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:
The City will ensure that any property assisted with HOME funds complies with the periods of affordability requirement found at 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) based on the level of HOME investment.
Recapture provisions are utilized for HOME downpayment assistance loan programs, however the period of affordability remains unaffected, even if the funds are repaid prior to the expiration of the affordability period.
