On
October 15, 2024, the City Council approved Amendment No. 5 to the Professional Services Agreement with Ardurra Group, Inc. for construction management, inspection, and material testing services for the North Vineyard Avenue Sanitary Sewer Project.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
Encourage, Provide or Support Enhanced Recreational, Educational, Cultural and Healthy City Programs, Policies and Activities
Ensure the Development of a Well Planned, Balanced, and Self-Sustaining Community in Ontario Ranch
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Park Impact Fund for the design and construction of the Ontario Ranch Grand Park. In addition, if approved, appropriations in the Capital Projects-Ontario Ranch Park Facilities Fund will be requested at future quarterly budget updates to the City Council for approval as needed.
The proposed Amendment
No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with SWA Group, Inc. is $185,795 for a not-to-exceed amount of $6,600,996.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
On December 21, 2021, the City Council approved the conceptual "Great Park" Master Plan and the preliminary park design for Phase 1. Phase 1 builds upon the framework established in the Conceptual Park Master Plan and is comprised of approximately 130 acres of land and occurs within the eastern portion of Ontario Ranch. This phase is bordered by Grand Park Street to the north, Eucalyptus Avenue to the south, Haven Avenue on the east and 45 Archibald Avenue on the west. This portion of the park contains meadows, trails, and a field for recreational use that also serves as a stormwater capture system. Day one core park amenities are proposed in the center of this phase include a Market Alley where farmers' markets, food trucks and community events can be organized, a community barn and farm hub, kid's corral (a children's playground), a 5,000-capacity amphitheater along the central plaza, and parking lots with a total of 1,095 stalls for park patrons.
On May 20, 2025, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with SWA Group, Inc. to incorporate design changes to the size of the amphitheater, additional road and civil work, and restroom designs for Ontario’s Grand Park. During the design phase, additional engineering services were identified including the design of all the low voltage security cameras, Wi-Fi and all the IT needed for the entire Grand Park. Staff recommends approving Amendment No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with SWA Group, Inc. to continue work on the design for the technology needs in the Grand Park project.
Grand Park is anticipated to be operational by the summer of 2027. 46 46700.00100\33287662.1

PUBLIC HEARINGS
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council introduce and waive further reading of an Ordinance Approving File No. PDCA25-001, a Development Code Amendment revising and clarifying certain provisions of Chapters 2.0 (Administration and Procedures), 5.0 (Zoning and Land Use), 6.0 (Development and Subdivision Regulations), 8.0 (Sign Regulations), and 9.0 (Definitions and Glossary) of the City of Ontario Development Code.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:
There is not a direct fiscal impact associated with this action.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The Development Code (Ontario Municipal Code Title 9) provides the legislative framework for the implementation of The Ontario Plan, which states long-term principles, goals, and policies for guiding the growth and development of the City in a manner that achieves Ontario's vision, and promotes and protects the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, prosperity, and welfare of its citizens. Staff has initiated certain clarifications and revisions to the City of Ontario Development Code that are necessary to adjust and clarify various provisions of the Development Code. The proposed Development Code Amendment is included as Attachment A (Proposed Development Code Amendment), and is comprised of certain clarifications and revisions generally described as follows:
Development Code Chapter 2.0 establishes Administration and Procedures for implementing the Development Code. Proposed amendments include revising the Review Matrix table (Table 2.02-1) to add “Density Bonus” under the Ministerial (Administrative) Permits and Decisions section of the table and add a table note referencing a ministerial review for a density bonus request. Revising the Public Hearing Notification requirements to include a 20 day notice when proposed amendments 57 affect permitted uses of real property, revising noticing boundary requirements for discretionary (300 feet) and legislative applications (600 feet), and revising posting requirements for Large Public Notifications signs to delete the 300-foot separation establish that signs shall be posted at a project site’s street-facing corners and at a logical midpoint of each street frontage.
Development Code Chapter 5.0 establishes Zoning and Land Use standards for implementing the Development Code. The bulk of proposed code changes are in this chapter and include:
Correcting the identified FAR (Floor Area Ratio) for the CN (Neighborhood Commercial-0.4 Maximum FAR) Zoning District from 0.55 to 0.4 so the definition of the zoning district is consistent with its title.
Increasing the permitted density for the MHP (Mobile Home Park) Zoning District from 5.1 –
8.0 to 5.1 – 11.0 dwelling units per acre so that the zoning district is consistent with the permitted density of the MDR-11 (Low-Medium Density Residential–5.1 to 11.0 DU/Acre) Zoning District.
Revising the “Land Use Matrix” table (Table 5.02-1) to include: expanding Permitted (P) & Conditionally Permitted (C) land uses for Supportive Housing; Revising “Apiculture (beekeeping and production)” so that Permitted (P) land uses are listed consistent with the Specialized Use Zones that permit apiculture by right within the AG, ONT, and UC zoning districts; revising “Alcoholic Beverage Sales for Consumption Off-Premises (except beer, wine, and liquor stores)” to change approval from a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to an Administrative Use Permit (AUP) within all 5 land use areas of the MU-1 Zoning District; revising Residential Care Facilities to expand Conditionally Permitted (C) land uses; revising Hookah Establishments and Facilities to delete the table note that “In the MU-1 zoning district, hookah facilities are administratively permitted only in conjunction with a bona fide full- service restaurant. Standalone establishments and facilities shall not be allowed;” revising Pet Boarding and Sitting (animal daycare) Services, and Shelters to add Animal Shelters as a Permitted (P) land use in the OS-R (Open Space-Recreation) Zoning District and add a note specifying that the “Use shall only permit publicly operated Animal Shelters. And amend the table to establish a split in Employee (Farmworker) Housing between 6 or fewer and 7-36 Beds and add Permitted (P) land uses; and amending Emergency and Other Relief Services to include Low Barrier Navigation Centers.”
Revising “Boarding, Lodging, and Rooming Houses” to delete restrictions for the number of federal, state, or youth authority parolees allowed in a facility, and delete the requirement to sign a Crime Free Lease Addendum.
Revising “Employee (Farmworker) Housing” to comply with the Health & Safety Code, delete the 10-acre minimum lot size, and delete the 200 FT setback requirement.
Revising “Hookah Establishments, Smoking/Vaping Lounges, and Smoking/Vaping Retailers” to: allow a standalone hookah establishment with an outside patio and delete reference allowing operation “in conjunction with a sit-down restaurant or in conjunction with an ABC licensed bona fide eating establishment;” to require hookah establishments to maintain a valid tobacco retail license pursuant to Business and Professions Code Section 22971.7; to allow hookah establishments “with an outside patio area that is open to the sky,” and reduce 58 separation from sensitive uses from 1,000 to 500 feet; and to reduce the minimum separation between hookah establishments from 1,000 to 500 FT. And amend Hookah Establishments to identify that a hookah establishment shall not be established in conjunction with a bar, nightclub, sit-down restaurant, or in conjunction with an ABC licensed bona fide eating establishment; to prohibit a hookah establishment from establishing an outside patio area when located in a mixed-use zone with a vertical separation between land uses; to allow a hookah establishment meeting CAL-OSHA standards for indoor air circulation are not subject to the 500-foot separation from sensitive land uses; and to establish a minimum 1,320 FT separation between hookah establishments and a smoking/vaping retailer.
Revising “Mobile Home Park” site development standards so that the maximum residential density of 5.1 to 11.0 dwelling units per acre for the MHP Zoning District is consistent with the MDR-11 (Low-Medium Density Residential-5.1 to 11.0 DU/Acre) Zoning District.
Revising “Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Facilities” to delete the setback requirement from various uses and to delete reference to CUP application submittal.
Amending “Temporary and Interim Land Uses, Building, and Structures” to add temporary truck parking facilities as an interim land use in the AG (Agricultural) Zoning District.
Revise “Temporary Shelters and Supportive Housing” to include: revising the general statement to include Low Barrier Navigation Centers, revising general requirements to delete reference to Supportive Housing facilities within the ALUCP safety zones, revising Emergency Shelters to add that privately operated shelters are limited to a 20 client/tenant bed limit, and add an Emergency Shelter parking space requirement. And amending Emergency Shelters to add that publicly operated shelters are limited to a 50 client/tenant bed limit and that any increase in client/tenant beds is subject to Planning Director approval.
Development Code Chapter 6.0 establishes Development and Subdivision Regulations. Proposed amendments include the addition of “Common Active Open Space – Ontario Ranch” standards to establish minimum open space requirements for multiple-family development projects and the multiple-family residential portion of mixed-use development projects within Ontario Ranch.
Additional amendments to this chapter include amending “Density Bonus and Other Incentives” standards to identify that a request for a density bonus, in and of itself (i.e., not including any discretionary applications, or incentives or concessions), shall not require a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Development Agreement, or other discretionary approval, and can be acted upon ministerially. The recommended revision to the Density Bonus and Other Incentives provisions of the Development Code is in response to an inquiry from the California Department of Housing and Community Development where current standards indicate that a request for a density bonus, under State Density Bonus Law, is initiated through an application for a Development Agreement.
Development Code Chapter 8.0 establishes Sign Regulations and identifies size and location criteria for the installation of signs within the City. Proposed revisions to the “Sign Regulations Matrix” table (Table 8.01-1) include revising the maximum sign height and sign area standards for on-site Directional Signs in the “All Zoning Districts” and “Commercial Zoning Districts” so that there is a uniform sign standard of 4 feet in height and 4 square feet in area. 59 Development Code Chapter 9.0 establishes the Definition and Glossary for various terms used throughout the Development Code. Revised definitions include the existing definitions for Community Care Facility, Emergency Shelter, Religious Assembly (Place of Worship), and Residential Care Facility land uses. And amended definitions include adding the definitions for Bridge Housing, Low Barrier Navigation Center, and Respite/Recuperative Care land uses.
The proposed provisions of the Development Code Amendment are shown in Attachment A (Development Code Amendment) of the appended ordinance. Any provisions proposed for deletion are shown in red strikeout text (
abcdefg
) and all additions are shown in blue underlined text
(
abcdefg
).
In considering the Development Code Amendment at their meeting on May 27, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and voted 5-0 to recommend the City Council consider and approve File No. PDCA25-001, pursuant to the facts and reasons contained in the staff report and attached Ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed Development Code Amendment is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption (general rule) that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

66 Planning Commission Agenda Report
File No.: PDCA25-001
May 27, 2025
(1) Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan ( “ONT ALUCP”) — On April 19, 2011, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted the ONT ALUCP, establishing the Airport Influence Area for Ontario International Airport, which encompasses lands within parts of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles Cou nties, 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 recommending body for the project, the Planning Commission 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, Planning Commission has conclud ed that the proposed Development Code Amendment and Zone Change are consistent with the policies and criteria set forth within the ONT ALUCP.
(2) Chino Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan ( “CNO ALUCP”) — On August 2, 2022, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted a Development Code Amendment to establish the Chino Airport ( “CNO”) Overlay Zoning District (“OZD”) and Reference I, Chino Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. The CNO OZD and CNO ALUCP established the Airport Influence Area for Chino Airport, solely within the City of Ontario, and limits future land uses and development within the Airport Influence Ar ea, as they relate to safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity. The CNO ALUCP is consistent with policies and criteria set forth within the Caltrans 2011 California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook. The proposed Development Code Amendment may affect certain land development criteria on certain properties located within the Airport Influence Area of Chino Airport, which have been evaluated and found to be consistent with the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook and th e CNO ALUCP. As a result, the Planning Commission has concluded that the proposed Development Code Amendment and Zone Change are consistent with the policies and criteria set forth within the CNO ALUCP.
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:

WHEREAS, Ontario Development Code Table 2.02- 1 (Review Matrix) grants the Planning Commission the responsibility and authority to review and make recommendation to the City Council on the subject Application; and
WHEREAS, City of Ontario Development Code Division 2.03 (Public Hearings) prescribes the manner in which public notification shall be provided and hearing procedures to be followed, and all such notifications and procedures have been completed; and
WHEREAS, on May 27 , 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Ontario conducted a hearing to consider the Project, and concluded said hearing on that date; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY FOUND, DETERMINED, AND RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Ontario, as follows:
SECTION 1: Environmental Determination and Findings. As the recommending authority for the Project, the Planning Commission has reviewed and 75 Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PDCA25-001
May 27, 2025
considered the information contained in the administrative record for the Project. Based upon the facts and information contained in the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence presented to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
(1) The administrative record has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Ontario Local CEQA Guidelines; and
(2) The Development Code Amendment is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that the activity is covered by the" common
sense exemption " (also known as the "general rule
exemption") that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA; and
(3) The determination that the Development Code Amendment is not subject to CEQA reflects the independent judgment of the Planning Commission.
SECTION 2: Housing Element Compliance. Pursuant to the requirements of California Government Code Chapter 3, Article 10.6, commencing with Section 65580, as the recommending authority for the Project, the Planning Commission finds that based on the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation, the project is consistent with the Housing Element of the Policy Plan (General Plan) component of The Ontario Plan.
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.
(1) 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 recommending authority for the Project, the Planning Commission 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 76 Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PDCA25-001
May 27, 2025
(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 Planning Commission , therefore, the Planning Commission finds and determines that the Project is consistent with the policies and criteria set forth within the ONT ALUCP; and
(2) On August 2, 2022, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted a Development Code Amendment to establish the Chino Airport ("CNO") Overlay Zoning District ( "OZD") and Reference I, Chino Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan ("CNO ALUCP"). The CNO OZD and CNO ALUCP established the Airport Influence Area for Chino Airport, solely within the City of Ontario, and limits future land uses and development within the Airport Influence Area, as they relate to safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity. The CNO ALUCP is consistent with policies and criteria set forth within the Caltrans 2011 California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook. The proposed Project is located within the Airport Influence Area of Chino Airport and was evaluated and found to be consistent with the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook and the CNO ALUCP. As the recommending authority for the Project, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation against the CNO ALUCP compatibility factors, including Safety, Airspace Protection, Overflight. As a result, the Planning Commission , therefore, the Planning Commission finds and determines that the Project is consistent with the policies and criteria set forth within the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook and the CNO ALUCP.
SECTION 4: Concluding Facts and Reasons. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during the above- referenced hearing, and upon the specific findings set forth in Sections 1 through 3, above, the Planning Commission hereby concludes as follows:
(1) The proposed Development Code Amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, plans and exhibits of the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Goals components of The Ontario Plan ( "TOP"). The Development Code Amendment will: (a) serve to promote a community that is consistently seeking—and thoughtfully applying—new ways of doing things better, as encouraged by TOP's Vision; (b) provides for a variety of land uses and building types in our land use planning efforts that result in a complete community where residents at all stages of life, have a wide spectrum of choices of where they can live and recreate, as promoted by Land Use Element Policy LU-1.6, Complete Community; and (c) promotes the City Council Goals through the establishment of Development Code provisions that encourages investment in the growth and evolution of the City 's economy and focuses City resources in commercial and residential neighborhoods.

2.02.020: Environmental Review
A. Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to assist the City in accomplishing the basic objectives of CEQA, as follows:
1. Enhance and provide long-term protection for the environment, while providing a decent home and satisfying living environment for every Californian;
2. Provide information to governmental decision -makers and the public regarding the potential significant environmental effects of the proposed project;
3. Provide an analysis of the environmental effects of future actions associated with a project in order to adequately apprise all interested parties of the true scope of the project for intelligent weighing of the environmental consequences of the project;
4. Identify ways that environmental damage can be avoided or significantly reduced;
5. Prevent significant avoidable environmental damage through utilization of feasible project alternatives or mitigation measures; and
6. Provide full public disclosure of the City 's basis for project approval in the manner chosen. Public participation is an essential part of the CEQA process. Each public agency should encourage wide public involvement, formal and informal, in order to receive and evaluate public reactions to environmental issues related to a public agency 's activities. The involvement should include, whenever possible, making environmental information available in electronic format on the Internet, on a web site maintained or utilized by the public agency.
B. Applicability. The provisions of this division shall apply to any activity of the City that is determined to be a "project" pursuant CEQA (PRC Section 21000 through Section 21178) and the CEQA Guidelines (CCR Section 15000 through Section 15387).
C. CEQA Implementation. Local guidelines for the implementation of CEQA shall be adopted by Resolution of the City Council. The guidelines may be changed or modified only by resolution of the City Council.

The purpose of this Division is to identify those land uses, activities and facilities that may be established in conjunction with any buildings, improvements, lots, or premises that are privately owned, leased, operated, or controlled within the zoning districts established by Section 5.01.005 (Establishment of Base Zoning Districts) of this Development Code, and is to serve as a guide for the establishment of publicly owned land uses, activities and facilities (see Subsection 1.01.015.F (City Properties) of this Development Code.
5.02.005: Applicability
A. Land Use Matrix.
1. Land and facilities thereon shall be developed, divided, and/or used only for those activities and facilities listed in Table 5.02-1 (Land Use Matrix) of this Division.

A use that is not specifically allowed by Table 5.02 -1 (Land Use Matrix) shall be deemed a prohibited use unless otherwise allowed by the Zoning Administrator pursuant to Subsection C (Land Uses, Activities and Facilities Not Addressed by the Land Use Matrix) of this Section. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Development Code, a medical marijuana dispensary, as defined in Division 9.01 (Definitions) of this Development Code shall be a prohibited use in all zoning districts of the City (see Section 5.03.295 (Medical Marijuana Dispensary) of this Chapter).
2. Table 5.02-1 (Land Use Matrix) further establishes a hierarchy of land uses, activities, and facilities, based upon the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) — the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy — and identifies the NAICS code for each industry sector (2 -number code), subsector (3 -number code), group (4 -number code), subgroup (5 -number code), and use (6 -number code), as they are applicable to the City, allowing the user to effectively reference the NAICS Association web site to obtain definitions for each industry, along with background information and access to various NAICS reference files and tools.
B. Land Use Regulations, Operating Conditions, and Development Standards. The "Additional Regulations" column of Table 5.02 -1 (Land Use Matrix) references the location of regulations, operating conditions, and/or development standards that are applicable to the corresponding land uses, activities and facilities.

5.03.015: Adult-Oriented Businesses
The following regulations shall govern the establishment and operation of adult -oriented businesses within the City:
A. Purpose. It is the intent of these Adult-Oriented Business regulations to prevent community- wide adverse economic impacts, increased crime, decreased property values, and the deterioration of neighborhoods, which can be brought about by locating Adult -Oriented Businesses in close proximity to each other or proximity to other incompatible uses such as schools, churches, and residentially zoned districts or uses. The City Council finds that it has been demonstrated in various communities that the concentration of Adult-Oriented Businesses causes an increase in the number of transients in the area, and an increase in crime, and in addition to the effects described above, can cause other businesses and residents to move elsewhere. It is, therefore, the purpose of these Adult-Oriented Business regulations to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to ameliorate the harmful effects of Adult -Oriented Businesses or their close proximity to incompatible uses, while providing reasonable alternative avenues of communication.
Moreover, it is also the purpose of these Adult -Oriented Business regulations to facilitate regulation of Adult -Oriented Businesses and the performers that may be employed by such establishments pending resolution of the prior permitting issues raised in B aby Tam & Co., Inc. v.
City of Las Vegas, 154 F.3d 1097 (9th Cir. 1998). The intent of the registration requirements contained in these Adult -Oriented Business regulations is to provide enforcement agencies with sufficient information to assist them in ensuring that criminal elements do not infiltrate Adult - Oriented Businesses, that minors are not employed by such establishments, and that the establishments will comply with the zoning and operational standards imposed by these Adult - Oriented Business regulations.
B. Findings. The City Council of the City of Ontario, California, hereby, finds as follows:
1. The City Council finds that various studies and court decisions presented to the City Council have determined that the establishment of Adult-Oriented Businesses is linked to increases in crime and other adverse effects. The City, in enacting this ordinance, more specifically finds that these studies provide convincing evidence that:
200
Division 5.03—Supplemental Land Use Regulations
(Rev. 03.18.202507.01.2025) Page 5.03-18 Ontario Development Code a. Adult-Oriented Businesses are linked to, and associated with, increases in crime rates in those areas in which they are located and in surrounding areas;
b. Both the proximity of Adult -Oriented Businesses to sensitive land uses and the concentration of Adult-Oriented Businesses tend to result in the blighting and deterioration of the areas next to which, and near which, they are located;
c. There is substantial evidence that an increase in crime tends to accompany, concentrate around, and be aggravated by Adult -Oriented Businesses, including but not limited to an increase in the crimes of narcotics distribution and use, prostitution, pandering, and violence against persons and property. The studies from other cities establish convincing evidence that Adult -Oriented Businesses that are not regulated as to permissible locations often have a deleterious effect on nearby businesses and residential areas, causing, among other adverse secondary effects, an increase in crime and a decrease in property values;
d. Studies concerning increases in crime surrounding Adult -Oriented Businesses are further supported by the City 's own experiences confirming an inordinate amount of police response calls to the City 's two existing Adult -Oriented Businesses, "the Reel One" and "the Villa Theater." The police response statistics from the Ontario Police Department for the period from 1996 to 1998 indicate that City police have been called out to these locations over 70 times to investigate solicitation and prostitution activities, lewd conduct, indecent exposure, illegal drug use and possession, use of counterfeit money, thefts, burglaries, and other disturbances;
2. Based on the forgoing, the City Council finds and determines that special regulation of Adult-Oriented Businesses is necessary to ensure that their adverse secondary effects will not cause or contribute to an increase in crime rates or the blighting or det erioration of the areas in which they are located or surrounding areas. The need for such special regulations is based upon the recognition that Adult -Oriented Businesses not only cause adverse secondary effects, but also have seriously objectionable opera tional characteristics, particularly when several of them are concentrated under certain circumstances or located in direct proximity to sensitive uses, thereby having a deleterious effect upon an adjacent area. It is the purpose and intent of these regulations to prevent or mitigate such adverse secondary effects;
3. The protection and preservation of the public health, safety and welfare require that certain distances be maintained between Adult-Oriented Businesses and other sensitive uses, including residential, religious and educational uses, as well as to minimize the adverse secondary effects between the proximity of Adult -Oriented Businesses and other Adult -Oriented Businesses and truck stops. Moreover, the locational requirements established by this Section do not unreasonably restrict the establishment or operat ion of constitutionally protected Adult -Oriented Businesses in the City. A sufficient and reasonable number of appropriate locations for the operation of Adult-Oriented Businesses will remain available after the enactment of these Adult - Oriented Business regulations.
4. The City Council also finds that locational criteria alone do not adequately protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the City, and thus, certain requirements with respect to the ownership and operation of Adult-Oriented Businesses are in the public interest.
In addition to the findings and studies conducted in other cities regarding increases in crime rates, decreases in property values, and the blighting of areas in which Adult -Oriented Business are located, the city Council also takes legislative notice of the facts recited in the case of Kev, Inc., v. Kitsap County (9th Cir. 1986) 793 F.2d 1053, and Colacurcio v. City of Kent, 1998 WL 848036 (9th Cir.), regarding how live adult entertainment results in adverse secondary effects such as prostitution, drug dealing, and other law enforcement problems; 201
Division 5.03—Supplemental Land Use Regulations
Ontario Development Code Page 5.03-19 (Rev. 03.18.202507.01.2025)
5. Zoning, permitting, licensing, and other police power regulations are legitimate, reasonable means of accountability to help protect the quality of life in the City and to help assure that owners, operators and performers of Adult -Oriented Businesses comply with reasonable regulations and are located in places that minimize the adverse secondary effects that naturally accompany the operation of Adult-Oriented Businesses;
6. The City Council recognizes that possible harmful effects on children and minors exposed to the secondary effects of Adult -Oriented Businesses, the deterioration of respect for family values, and the need and desire of children and minors to stay away from , and avoid, Adult-Oriented Businesses, which causes children to be fearful and cautions when walking through or visiting the immediate neighborhood of these businesses. The City Council desires to: minimize and control the adverse secondary effects associ ated with the operation of Adult -Oriented Businesses and thereby protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Ontario, and in particular, the health, safety, and welfare of children and minors in the City; protect the citizens from increased crime; preserve their quality of life; preserve property values and the character of surrounding neighborhoods and businesses; deter the spread of urban blight and protect against the threat to health from the spread of communicable and sexually transmitte d diseases;
7. Nothing in these Adult -Oriented Business regulations is intended to authorize, legalize, or permit the establishment, operation, or maintenance of any business, building, or use that violates any applicable City ordinance or any statute of the State of California relating to public nuisances, unlawful or indecent exposure, sexual conduct, lewdness, obscene or harmful matter, or the exhibition or public display thereof;
8. The City Council further finds the following, in part, based upon its understanding of the judicial decisions and the reports, studies and other documents in the public record:
a. Evidence indicates that the existence of Adult -Oriented Businesses that permit nudity have been shown in some cities to increase the secondary effects of crime and decrease property values;
b. Evidence has demonstrated that Performers employed by Adult -Oriented Businesses have been found to offer and provide private shows to patrons who, for a price, are permitted to observe and participate with the performers in live sex shows;
c. Evidence indicates that performers at Adult-Oriented Businesses have been found to engage in acts of prostitution with patrons of the establishment;
d. Evidence indicates that fully enclosed booths, individual viewing areas, and other small rooms whose interiors cannot be seen from public areas of the Adult -Oriented Business regularly have been found to be used as locations for engaging in unlawful sexual activity; and
e. As a result of Subparagraphs B.8.a through d, above, and the increase in the incidence of AIDS and Hepatitis B, which are both sexually transmitted diseases, the City Council has a substantial interest in adopting regulations that will reduce to the greate st extent possible, the possibility for the occurrence of casual sex acts at Adult-Oriented Businesses;
9. In regulating nudity and semi- nudity in Adult-Oriented Businesses, the City Council does not intend to proscribe the communication of erotic messages or any other communicative element or activity, but rather only to regulate nudity and semi-nudity in Adult-Oriented Businesses 202
Division 5.03—Supplemental Land Use Regulations
(Rev. 03.18.202507.01.2025) Page 5.03-20 Ontario Development Code due to the adverse secondary effects associated therewith, including prostitution, sexual assault, and associated crimes;
10. The City Council further finds, as a wholly independent basis, that it has a substantial public interest in preserving societal order and morality, and that such interest is furthered by the regulation of nudity and semi-nudity in Adult-Oriented Businesses;
11. While the City Council desires to protect the rights conferred by the United States and California Constitutions on Adult-Oriented Businesses, it does so in a manner that ensures the continued and orderly development of property within the City and diminis hes, to the greatest extent feasible, those undesirable secondary adverse effects which the Studies have shown to be associated with the development and operation of Adult-Oriented Businesses;
12. In enacting nudity and semi- nudity regulations pursuant to these Adult -Oriented Business regulations, the City Council declares that the regulations do not create or regulate a criminal offense, and the City Council has not provided a criminal penalty for a violation of these regulations;
13. The City Council finds that preventing the direct exchange of money between Performers and Patrons also reduces the likelihood of drug and sexual transactions occurring in Adult-Oriented Businesses;
14. Requiring a 10 -FT separation between performers and patrons reduces the likelihood that these persons will negotiate narcotics sales, or negotiate for the purpose of engaging in sexual activities or obtaining sexual favors within the Adult-Oriented Businesses; and
15. Enclosed or concealed booths and dimly lit areas within Adult-Oriented Businesses greatly increase the potential for misuse of the premises, including unlawful conduct of a type that facilitates transmission of disease. Requirements that all indoor areas be open to view by management at all times and that adequate lighting be provided are necessary in order to reduce the opportunity for, and, therefore, the incidence of illegal conduct within Adult-Oriented Businesses, and to facilitate the inspection of th e interior of the premises thereof by law enforcement personnel.
