TRIP GENERATION
Trip generation represents the amount of traffic, which is both attracted to, and produced by, a development. Determining traffic generation for a specific project is therefore based upon forecasting the amount of traffic that is expected to be both attracted to, and produced by, the specific land uses being proposed for a given development.
APPROVED SPECIFIC PLAN
As noted previously, the site is located within the Esperanza Specific Plan. Specifically, the Project is located within Planning Area 11, which was approved with a 736-student elementary school.
The Esperanza Specific Plan Traffic Impact Study Report (prepared by Albert A. Webb Associates, dated November 10, 2005, referred to as 2005 Traffic Study) evaluated the 736-student elementary school within Planning Area 11. The trip generation is summarized in Table 1 and excerpts from the 2005 Traffic Study are included in Attachment A. The approved elementary school site is anticipated to generate an average of 949 two-way trips per day, with 309 trips during the AM peak hour and 206 trips during the PM peak hour.
TABLE 1: APPROVED SP TRIP GENERATION FOR PLANNING AREA 11
PROPOSED PROJECT
The proposed Project consists of 161 multi-family (low-rise) residential dwelling units. In order to develop the traffic characteristics of the proposed Project, trip-generation statistics published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition, 2021) were used for the Project. Table 2 summarizes the trip generation rates for Multifamily (Low-Rise) Residential (ITE Code 220).
The trip generation summary illustrating daily, and peak hour trip generation estimates for the proposed Project are also summarized in Table 2. The proposed Project is anticipated to generate 944 vehicle trip-ends per day with 108 AM peak hour trips and 125 PM peak hour trips.

TABLE 2: PROPOSED PROJECT TRIP GENERATION SUMMARY
TRIP GENERATION COMPARISON
Table 3 shows the trip generation comparison between the approved use (elementary school) and proposed Project (multi-family residential) and identifies the resulting net change in trips. As shown, the Project is anticipated to generate a net reduction of 5 two-way trips per day with a reduction of 201 AM peak hour trips and 81 fewer PM peak hour trips as compared to the approved elementary school use.
TABLE 3: TRIP GENERATION COMPARISON
FINDINGS
The City of Ontario adheres to the County Guidelines, which have been used to determine whether additional traffic analysis is necessary for the proposed Project. The County Guidelines indicate that development projects that generate a net increase of 100 or more peak hour vehicle trips (without pass-by reductions) would require the preparation and submittal of a Transportation Impact Analysis.
The Project is anticipated to generate fewer than 100 net new peak hour trips during the morning and evening peak hours (Project results in a net reduction from the currently approved land use).
The Project would therefore contribute fewer than 50 net new peak hour trips to any off-site intersection. As such, additional peak hour traffic operations analysis is not necessary based on the County Guidelines.

PA-11 OF THE ESPERANZA SPECIFIC PLAN VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED (VMT) ANALYSIS
Urban Crossroads, Inc. is pleased to provide the following Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis for PA-11 of The Esperanza Specific Plan (Project), located on the northeast corner of Amherst Avenue and Eucalyptus Avenue in the City of Ontario.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
It is our understanding that the Project proposes a General Plan Amendment to change the land use from Public School to Medium Density Residential (MDR 11.1- 24 du/ac) and an amendment to the Esperanza Specific Plan to change the land use designation for Planning Area 11 from Public School to Residential Development 9 (RD-9). More specifically the proposes 161 multi-family (townhome) residential dwelling units with a density of approximately 16.1 dwelling units to the net acre that would replace a 736-student elementary school. A preliminary site plan can be found in Attachment A.
BACKGROUND
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) mandates that all lead agencies use VMT as the measure for identifying transportation impacts in land use projects.
In June 2020, the City of Ontario developed and adopted its VMT methodologies and thresholds (Resolution No. 2020-071) (City Guidelines) (1). This VMT analysis is based on the adopted City Guidelines.
VMT ANALYSIS
TRAFFIC MODELING METHODOLOGY
Consistent with City Guidelines, a project-level VMT analysis shall be conducted using the San Bernardino Traffic Analysis Model (SBTAM) as the appropriate tool for conducting VMT analysis for land use projects within the City of Ontario. SBTAM is a useful tool to estimate VMT as it considers interaction between different land uses based on socio-economic data such as population, households, and employment.
1885

May 29, 2024
15662-03 VMT
As part of The Ontario Plan (TOP) 2050 implementation, the City of Ontario recently adopted an updated version of SBTAM, also referred to as the TOP model. This updated version includes the latest roadway network and socio-economic data specific to the City of Ontario, in alignment with the City's recently-adopted TOP. The model encompasses a base year of 2019 and a General Plan Buildout projection for 2050.
VMT ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
As stated within the City’s Guidelines, the analysis should include ‘project-generated VMT’ and ‘project effect on VMT’ estimates for the project transportation/traffic analysis zone (TAZ) for baseline and cumulative conditions. For the purposes of this analysis, Project VMT estimates have been prepared using the Origin/Destination (OD) method to estimate project-generated VMT and Boundary method to estimate project effect on VMT. VMT has been presented as total VMT and total VMT per service population (i.e., population and employees).
ORIGIN/DESTINATION (OD) VMT
The OD method for calculating VMT sums all weekday VMT generated by trips with at least one trip-end in the study area (i.e., Project boundary or City boundary) and tracks those trips to their origin or destination. Origins are all vehicle trips that start in a specific TAZ, while destinations are all vehicle trips that end in a specific TAZ. The OD method accounts for all trips (i.e., both passenger cars and trucks) and trip purposes (i.e., total VMT).
BOUNDARY VMT METHOD
The boundary method is the sum of all weekday VMT on the roadway network within a designated boundary (i.e., City boundary or other designated geographic area). The boundary method estimates VMT by multiplying vehicle trips on each roadway segment within the boundary by that segment’s length. This approach consists of all trips, including those trips that do not begin or end in the designated boundary. Consistent with City VMT Guidelines, the City of Ontario was used as the boundary for this assessment. In addition, as the Project is located near the southeastern edge of the City, an additional assessment of a ten-mile boundary area surrounding the Project site has also been conducted to ensure trips associated with the Project are not omitted.
VMT METRIC AND SIGNIFICANCE THRESHOLD
The City of Ontario has adopted the following thresholds of significance related to VMT for land use projects:
The SBTAM model should be used to forecast total daily VMT per Service Population (SP) and is the required method for estimating VMT.
• A significant impact would occur if the project VMT per SP exceeds the Citywide average VMT per SP under General Plan Buildout Conditions.
• A significant impact would occur if the project caused total daily VMT per SP within the City to be higher than the no project scenario under cumulative conditions. 1886

15662-03 VMT
The City of Ontario's average VMT per SP under General Plan Buildout conditions has been calculated using the TOP General Plan Buildout (2050) model. Table 1 presents the Citywide average VMT per SP for General Plan Buildout (2050) conditions.
TABLE 1: CITYWIDE VMT PER SERVICE POPULATION
Ontario TOP 2050
Service Population 707,369
VMT 19,506,377
VMT per SP 27.6
As shown in Table 1, the City of Ontario’s VMT per SP for General Plan Buildout (2050) conditions has been calculated as 27.6 VMT per SP.
VMT ESTIMATES
To estimate project-generated VMT, standard land use information such as the number of residential dwelling units must first be converted into a SBTAM compatible dataset. The SBTAM model utilizes socio-economic data (SED) (e.g., population, households, and employment) for the purposes of vehicle trip estimation. Table 2 summarizes the SED inputs used to represent the Project. Project SED data was then coded into the Project’s TAZ to obtain project-generated VMT.
TABLE 2: POPULATION ESTIMATES
Land Use Quantity Conversion Factor1 Estimated Population Residential 161 Dwelling Units 3.5 people per household 564
PROJECT-GENERATED VMT
Project-level VMT estimates were extracted from SBTAM using the OD trip matrices, which includes project-generated VMT for all vehicle trips (both passenger cars and trucks) and trip purposes. Project-generated VMT estimates for the Project are presented in Table 3.

PROJECT EFFECT ON VMT
The Project’s effect on VMT has been calculated using the boundary method. Land use information representing the proposed land use changes contemplated by the Project were coded into the Project TAZ to represent the “With Project” condition. Table 4 summarizes the boundary VMT under the No Project and With Project scenarios for both baseline and cumulative conditions using the City boundary and a 10-mile radius from the Project site.
TABLE 4: GENERAL PLAN BUILDOUT (2050) BOUNDARY VMT RESULTS City Boundary 10-Mile Boundary
Scenario No Project With Project No Project With Project Service Population 706,494 707,058 2,579,062 2,579,626
Boundary VMT 9,602,250 9,598,040 41,605,554 41,614,834
VMT per SP 13.6 13.6 16.1 16.1
Change in VMT 0.0 0.0
Potentially Significant? No No
The boundary VMT is found to increase under the With Project scenario for both the baseline and cumulative conditions, as expected when increases in development are added to the model.
However, to measure the efficiency of a land use project or land use plan, the boundary VMT is divided by the service population to frame an efficiency metric. The resulting VMT per service population was found to remain unchanged in the With Project scenario. The Project does not result in an increase total daily VMT per SP as compared to the No Project scenario.
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC TRANSIT REVIEW
Potential impacts to:
• Circulation system
• Public transit
• Pedestrian facilities and travel
• Bicycle facilities
Were analyzed to determine if the proposed Project conflicts with adopted policies, plans, programs, and if the Project has the potential to decrease the performance or safety of such facilities.
CIRCULATION SYSTEM
Traffic is anticipated to be distributed through the City of Ontario, extending into the neighboring jurisdiction of the City of Eastvale. In general, the study area has a moderate level of active transportation facilities and transit service. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities are proposed as part of the City of Ontario and City of Eastvale General Plans on most roadways throughout the study area.

BICYCLE FACILITIES
There are four bicycle facility classifications recognized by the City of Ontario. The four bicycle facility classifications are as follows:
Class I Bikeways (Bike Paths)
Class I bikeways are dedicated for exclusive use by bicyclists along rivers, channels, and utility right-of-way.
Class II Bikeways (Bike Lanes)
Class II bikeways are dedicated lanes along streets, with no parking allowed in the bike lane.
Class III Bikeways (Bike Routes)
Class III bikeways are bike routes normally shared with motor vehicles on the street or with pedestrians on sidewalks, and parking is allowed.
Class IV Bikeways (Separated Bikeways)
Class IV bikeways are dedicated for exclusive use of bicycles and are physically separated from motor traffic with a vertical feature.
Many of the City of Ontario’s bicycle paths are combined with sidewalks along each side of major streets.
The City of Ontario and City of Eastvale bike networks are shown on Exhibits 3 and 4, respectively.
Adjacent to the Project site, there is a Class II bike lane along Eucalyptus Avenue. A Class I bike path is proposed along Hamner Avenue, east of the Project site. Many bicycle facilities are either existing or proposed within the study area on most major streets. As the study area builds out consistent with the City’s proposed trail and bicycle facilities, the Project will be part of a wellconnected bicycle network. 1890

PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES
Pedestrian facilities include sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian signals, and multi-use trails. Exhibit 5 illustrates the existing crosswalks throughout the study area. As shown in Exhibit 5, pedestrian facilities are built out along portions of Eucalyptus Avenue, Hamner Avenue, and many other study area roadways. Under the assumption that pedestrian facilities will continue to be constructed as the study area develops, the Project will be part of a safe and efficient pedestrian network. The Project is to develop the sidewalks along the roadways adjacent to the Project. 1891

PUBLIC TRANSIT REVIEW
There are bus and regional transit service options available to the City of Ontario. Limited routes and transit options are available near the Project site. It is anticipated that new routes will be proposed to support the future development, but those routes have not been identified at this time. Existing transit services and routes in the study area are shown on Exhibit 6.
Omnitrans
The study area is currently served by Omnitrans, a public transit agency serving various jurisdictions within San Bernardino County. Omnitrans provides countywide bus service and currently has five bus routes in the City of Ontario that provide connections between rail stations, Ontario International Airport (ONT), major employment and shopping centers, and residential areas. Exhibit 6 shows the existing transit facilities, which indicates that Omnitrans Route 87 could serve the Project site. Route 87 runs along portions of Hamner Avenue and Ontario Ranch Road.
The nearest bus stop is at the intersection of Hamner Avenue and Eucalyptus Avenue, approximately 1,000 feet east of the Project site. Transit service is reviewed and updated by Omnitrans periodically to address ridership, budget, and community demand needs. Changes in land use can affect these periodic adjustments which may lead to either enhanced or reduced service where appropriate. As such, it is recommended that the Applicant work in conjunction with Omnitrans to potentially provide bus service to the site.
Metrolink
Commuter train service in the City of Ontario is provided by Metrolink, which provides service throughout the Southern California region. The nearest Metrolink station is the East Ontario Metrolink station, located approximately 4 miles north of the Project site. The Riverside Line links Riverside to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles and various other destinations. This line runs weekdays during peak commute hours only.

This assessment addresses the following Transportation thresholds stated in CEQA Guidelines Appendix G:
T-1 Potential to conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities.
T-2 Potential to conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b) regarding policies to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
T-3 Potential to substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment).
T-4 Potential to result in inadequate emergency access.
T-1 ASSESSMENT
The analysis presented here considers the degree to which the Project may hinder the safe and comfortable access to the Project site from other locations, with a special focus on people relying on transit services or active transportation modes such as biking or walking.
Applicable programs, plans, and policies addressing the circulation system are established under TOP 2050. Project consistency with applicable provisions of TOP 2050 is summarized at Table 5.
As provided for under CEQA, the analysis presented here considers program, plan, and policy inconsistencies that could result in potentially significant environmental impacts. As a matter of law, the Project would be required to comply with City ordinances addressing the study area circulation system.

Sources: Goal and Policy statements from TOP 2050; remarks by Urban Crossroads.
Prior to the issuance of Building Permits, the City would review the final Project designs to ensure consistency with City programs, plans, and policies as outlined above. Consistency with applicable City ordinance requirements is required as a matter of law.
Level of Significance: Less-Than-Significant. As summarized at Table 5, the Project does not propose or require uses or facilities that would conflict with applicable programs, plans, and 1899
Dave Waters, Genstar Development Company/GDCI-13

policies addressing the circulation system. Project impacts in these regards would therefore be less-than-significant.
T-2 ASSESSMENT
The Project is consistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b) regarding policies to reduce VMT. The City of Ontario has adopted the following thresholds of significance related to VMT for land use plans:
The SBTAM model should be used to forecast total daily VMT per Service Population (SP) is the required method for estimating VMT.
• A significant impact would occur if the project VMT per SP exceeds the Citywide average VMT per SP under General Plan Buildout Conditions.
• A significant impact would occur if the project caused total daily VMT per SP within the City to be higher than the no project scenario under cumulative conditions.
Based on the VMT analysis previously presented in this technical memorandum, Projectgenerated VMT per service population was found to be less than the City of Ontario VMT per service population under General Plan Buildout Conditions. Additionally, total daily VMT per service population within the City is forecast to remain unchanged under “With Project” for cumulative conditions. The Project therefore results in a less-than-significant VMT impact.
T-3 ASSESSMENT
Efficient and safe operations of the Project would be provided by on-site and localized circulation and intersection improvements to be developed as the Project individual site and building designs are finalized. The City would ensure that all on-site and localized circulation and intersection improvements would be designed and constructed consistent with applicable provisions of the Specific Plan and pursuant to City site plan and Building Permit review processes and requirements.
Traffic signing and striping would be implemented in conjunction with detailed Project construction plans. Sight distance at each Project access point would be reviewed with respect to standard Caltrans and City of Ontario sight distance standards at the time of preparation of final grading, landscape and street improvement plans.
The Project would generate passenger car trips typical of the proposed uses. As part of established site and Building Permit review processes, the City would require implementation of designated travel paths, signing, and traffic controls to ensure that traffic conflicts are minimized or avoided. Land uses proximate to the Project site are planned for, or are developed with urban uses similar to those proposed by the Project. These uses would generate urban traffic types similar to traffic generated by the Project and would not generate traffic that would be incompatible with the Project traffic types.
As supported by the preceding discussions, the potential for the Project to substantially increase hazards to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment); is considered less-than-significant. 1900

T-4 ASSESSMENT
EMERGENCY ACCESS
Access to the Specific Plan area is provided by improved urban roadways. As part of the City’s established design review processes, design and implementation of all Project circulation improvements, as well as final design(s) of the Project site plan(s), to include locations and design of proposed driveways, would be required to be reviewed and approved by the City Traffic Engineer. In addition, as part of the City’s established design review processes, representatives of the City’s Police and Fire Departments would review the Project’s plans in regard to emergency access. Efficient and safe access within, and access to, the Project is provided by the Specific Plan design concepts, site access improvements, and site adjacent roadway improvements included as components of the Project. In combination, these elements act to facilitate emergency access and avoid conditions that would restrict or limit access under emergency conditions.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
It is also recognized that temporary and interim traffic detours and traffic disruptions could occur during Project construction. To minimize effects of Project construction on area traffic patterns, it is recommended that the following or similar Construction Area Traffic Management Plan (Plan) be implemented as a Project Condition of Approval. Typical elements and information incorporated in the Plan would include, but not be limited to:
• Name of on-site construction superintendent and contact phone number. • Identification of Construction Contract Responsibilities - For example, for excavation and grading activities, describe the approximate depth of excavation, and quantity of soil import/export (if any).
• Identification and Description of Truck Routes - to include the number of trucks and their staging location(s) (if any).
• Identification and Description of Material Storage Locations (if any). • Location and Description of Construction Trailer (if any). • Identification and Description of Traffic Controls - Traffic controls shall be provided per the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) if the occupation or closure of any traffic lanes, parking lanes, parkways or any other public right-of-way is required. If the right-of-way occupation requires configurations or controls not identified in the MUTCD, a separate traffic control plan must be submitted to the City for review and approval. All right-of-way encroachments would require permitting through the City. • Identification and Description of Parking - Estimate the number of workers and identify parking areas for their vehicles.
• Identification and Description of Maintenance Measures - Identify and describe measures taken to ensure that the work site and public right-of-way would be maintained (including dust control).

Purpose of Study
The purpose of this letter report is to analyze the existing and proposed water system for Esperanza PA 11 project and determine if there are any water system deficiencies created by the proposed development of this property and land use change from school site to residential.
This report will address any offsite (public) water system improvements are needed for the development of the project so that the offsite water system will be in conformance with the City water system design standards.
A previous Master Plan of Water was prepared for the entire project in 2015 for the overall developer.
Study Area and Available Water System Pressure
In general, the study area for this water report is Esperanza PA 11 project boundary. The extent of the existing water system which was incorporated into the analysis of the project site was based on the existing water distribution system that serves the project area.
Figure 2 presents the existing and proposed water facilities in the project area.
Water service to the project will be from the 925 Pressure Zone of the City’s public water system. Finished floor elevations on the project property range between 705 feet and 711 feet. This results in a maximum static water pressure range of 93 psi to 95 psi on the project site.
Water System Design Criteria
The design criteria used for the evaluation of the proposed water system by Esperanza PA 11 project are based on City design criteria. This water design criteria is presented in the City’s most recent Master Plan for the overall project. A copy of the pertinent sections where the design criteria is located is attached as Appendix A. 1912

Peaking Factors. The peaking factors utilized in this study are identified in the City’s Master Plan. To convert average day demand to maximum day demand a peaking factor of
1.55 was utilized and to convert average day demand to peak hour demand a peaking factor of 1.98 was utilized.
Existing and Proposed Water System
There are existing public water facilities directly adjacent to the project site. There is an existing 24-inch diameter public water line in Eucalyptus Avenue and existing 8-inch public water lines surrounding the project. The project will be connecting its onsite private water systems to two existing water lines in Amherst Avenue and Chatham Street.

Medium Density Residential 161 units 323 gpd/unit 52,003 Per the City design criteria, the maximum day demand calculates to be 80,605 gpd (56 gpm) and the peak hour demand calculates to be 102,966 (72 gpm).
Private Water System
Per the City’s requirement, the onsite water system for Esperanza PA 11 will be private. One connection will be made for the domestic service and two connections will be made for the fire protection service to the project site. Connections will be made at Chatham Street and Amherst Avenue.
Domestic Meter and Service. The preliminary water fixture count (WFU) for the proposed units are estimated to be 30 to 35 WFUs per unit. Based on a WFU count of between 30 and 35 fixture units per home and an extrapolation curve as shown in Appendix B, the design demand for water meter sizing is estimated to be approximately 675 gpm for the project.
Based on the meter capacities established in AWWA C700-20, the project will likely require a 4-inch or 6-inch meter. A bypass meter will be provided in the event that the primary meter is temporarily of service. The final sizing of the service laterals and meters will need to be confirmed once the fixture units and plumbing plans for each home are finalized. 1915

Private Fire Protection Service. The private fire protection system will consist of two DCDA backflow preventers at each connection point and 8-inch diameter water lines throughout the project. The 8-inch diameter private fire protection system will sufficiently convey the projected 1,500 gpm fire flow requirement. This was confirmed by a hydraulic computer model that is presented in the next section of this water study.
Hydraulic Model Development
The KYPIPE computer software program developed by the University of Kentucky was used to analyze the proposed onsite and existing offsite public water system. KYPIPE utilizes the Hazen-Williams equation for determining head loss in pipes. The program also determines the flow and velocity in the pipes as well as the available pressure at nodes in the water system. An assumed roughness coefficient “C” value of 120 was used for all pipes.
Available Hydraulic Grade Line. Fire flow test data in the vicinity of the project was performed by the City and is included in Appendix C for reference. Results from the hydrant flow test show a residual pressure of approximately 58 psi at the fire flow requirement for the project at the hydrant flow test location (Eucalyptus Avenue west of the project site).
Fitting and Valve Losses. To simulate minor losses through pipe fittings and valves, minor loss coefficients or “k” values for all fittings associated with pipes were included in the hydraulic model.
Meter and Backflow Assembly Losses. The pressure loss through the proposed meters and backflow preventers was incorporated into the computer model. Appendix B presents candidate DCDA and RP backflow preventers. The manufacturer’s literature includes charts which show pressure loss through the backflow preventer as a function of flow. These charts were used to incorporate the pressure losses reflected in the computer modeling. 1916

Hydraulic Model Analysis
Hydraulic modeling of the proposed onsite and existing offsite water system for the Esperanza PA 11 project was performed to confirm the pipe sizes necessary to provide adequate domestic and fire protection service. The water system was analyzed under an onsite 1,500 gpm fire flow scenario.
Appendix C provides the results of the computer model for the analyzed water system.
Exhibit A at the back of Appendix C provides the Node and Pipe Diagram of the analyzed water system.
The results of the hydraulic analyses presented in Appendix C show that the proposed water system for the project site is adequate for domestic service and fire protection. For fire protection, the results of the computer runs show that a fire flow of 1,500 gpm can be delivered to the any fire hydrant within the project site with a residual pressure at the hydrant of greater than 20 psi. The minimum residual pressures are 31 psi under a 1,500 gpm fire flow scenario. Domestic demands can be provided with residual pressures of at least 58 psi.
The results of the computer hydraulic analyses for Esperanza PA 11 project indicate that the existing public water system can provide sufficient flow and pressure for the projects’ domestic and expected fire protection service needs.

WATER USE
4-1 Historic Water Production and Purchase
The City obtains its potable water supply from groundwater wells in Chino Basin and imported water from the Water Facilities Authority (WFA) and the Chino Basin Desalter Authority (CDA). Currently, the City operates seventeen (17) active wells.
The total annual water production and purchase from January 2007 to December 2018 is shown in Table 4-1 and on Figure 4-1. Figure 4-2 illustrates the historic water production and purchase by month. Over the last twelve years, the annual supply has averaged a total of 35,774 AFY (31.9 mgd). The average groundwater production is 23,520 AFY (21.0 mgd). Per the Chino Basin Watermaster 41st Annual Report, the City of Ontario has appropriative rights to 16,337 AFY, and its share of the initial operating safe yield is 11,374 AFY or 21 percent of the appropriative pool rights. The City has secured additional supply through transfers, purchase, and groundwater recharge. The average amount of imported water purchased is 12,253 AFY (10.9 mgd).
There has been a decrease in production over the past twelve years. This may be attributed to the expansion conscientious water conservation effort by the customers.
Water conservation is discussed further in Section 4-9.

Per the historical records, the consumption between 2010 and 2012 was more than the amount of water produced and/or purchased, which could not have actually happened. Possible explanations for the discrepancy in data include the following:
> During this time, the City was expanding its recycled water system. Some customers were converted from potable water use to recycled water use. Some of the consumption data might have actually been a combination of the potable and recycled water use.
> City staff has been updating and reclassifying meter types in its billing database. Some of the data provided in the historical DWR reports might have been misclassified at the time the report was created. > Meters are not always perfectly calibrated. The margin of error in few large meters that measure production and purchase amounts or the thousands of small meters measuring consumption could contribute to the discrepancy in data.
The water consumption data before the 2015 Calendar Year is based on Department of Water Resources Public Water System Statistics Reports. After the 2015 Calendar Year, the consumption data is based on the monthly water billing data. Non-revenue water makes up between 0.6% and 4.8% of the total production and purchase supply, respectively. The City strives to keep the percentage as low as possible. The City’s non-revenue water is 2.6%, on average.

Non-revenue water occurs in all water systems. There will be differences in the accuracies of the few large meters which measure purchases and production, and the thousands of small customer meters which measure sales. Non-revenue water can also be due to unmeasured uses such as water main flushing and other maintenance related tasks. The remainder may be due to leaks from the system. The average nonrevenue water rate of 2.6%.

4-3 Water Demand Variations
Demand variations through a year are influenced by seasonal effects such as temperature, humidity, and precipitation. System demand variations throughout a day are influenced by the customer base and the daily lifestyles of the customers. In primarily residential areas, the peak demands within a day typically occur in the morning hours between 6:00 am and 9:00 am, when customers wake
to begin their daily routine. In largely commercial and industrial areas, the peaks may occur mid-day or the demand may even remain relatively constant throughout the work day.
For this study, the variations are expressed as a ratio to the average demand, with the average demand being equal to
one.
For the purpose of this master plan, the average day demand was based on the most recent twelve consecutive months of production and purchase data that was available at the time the hydraulic model was created. The average day demand is summarized in Table 4-3.

totals and factors for 2007 to 2018 are shown in Table 4-4. Peak demands typically occur in July and August.
Low demands typically occur in February. The highest and lowest monthly demand factor for the 2018 Calendar year is 1.46 and 0.82, respectively.
The maximum month factor is estimated to be 1.46 times the ADD, which is representative of the OMC demands, since there is very little existing usage in the OR area. The OR maximum day peaking factor was estimated to be 1.36, which was developed by excluding a portion of the water use that is expected to be served through the recycled water system.

In the predominately developed OMC service area, the MDD is estimated to be 1.60 times the ADD. The OR maximum day peaking factor was estimated to be 1.50, which was developed by excluding a portion of the water use that is expected to be served through the recycled water system. The MDD estimate is summarized in Table 4-5.
In the hydraulic model, demands and patterns for high water users were allocated based on field data that was captured during the calibration period. For modeling purposes, the calibration diurnal pattern and demands were used for the ADD and MDD scenarios.

4-6 Hourly Demand Variations
Knowledge of accurate demand variations over a 24-hour period is essential for proper analysis of water systems. For this study, diurnal use patterns were developed for each hydraulic zone. Customer specific diurnal patterns were developed for high water users. The development of diurnal use patterns are described in detail in Section 5 (Diurnal Patterns) of this report. 4-7 System Demands and Peaking Factors
It is important to evaluate a water system during various incremental peak demands. Typically, a water system is designed to meet the maximum demands placed on it. The system components must be designed to cope with these demands as they occur. Maximum month and maximum day demands are important factors in sizing demands usually dictate the design criteria for both system respect to its transmission and distribution elements, as well as its operational storage capacity.
The peaking factors for Ontario Ranch (OR) was further refined to account for the fact that it is planned to be largely residential in nature and there were a dual recycled water system constructed in all major streets. The City anticipates a target of 12 percent of the total water use in low density residential areas to be provided by the recycled water system. It is expected that this percentage will increase as the residential density increases.
With more recycled water and less irrigation use on the domestic water system, the peaking factors in OR are reduced as detailed in Table 4-6. These factors are utilized for future demand estimates in Ontario Ranch.
The relationships between the peaking factors developed for this study with respect to the average day demand estimate are displayed graphically on Figure 4-5.

4-7.1 Existing Demands
Average Day - As detailed in Table 4-2, the average day demand daily production and purchase data between September 2018 and August 2019. As shown in Table 4-5, the average day demand is 31,153 AFY (19,280 gpm).
Maximum Month - As detailed in Table 4-6, the maximum month peaking factor for OMC and OR are 1.46 and 1.36, respectively. The maximum month demand is estimated as 45,341 AFY (28,109 gpm).
Maximum Day - As detailed in Table 4-6, the maximum day peaking factor for OMC and OR are 1.6 and
1.5, respectively. The maximum day demand is estimated as 48,051 AFY (29,790 gpm).
Peak Hour Demands - Modeled peak hour demands were based upon the diurnal patterns that were developed for the hydraulic model, as detailed in Section 5. The overall peak hour system demand is estimated to be 1.98 times the average day demand or 61,656 AFY (38,224 gpm). This factor varies by zone depending on the diurnal patterns developed by zone, meter type, and for high water users.
Existing Water Demands by Zone - Existing water demands by zone are shown in Table 4-5. These estimates are based upon the demand distribution generated from water billing historical data linked to the re distributed in the model using the 12-
, adjusted to the most-recent production and
purchase data (31,094 AFY; 27.8 mgd; 19,280 gpm) which takes into consideration non-revenue water.
Generally, the ADD were increased with the factors included in Table 4-6 to develop the Maximum Day Demands (MDD), which are summarized by zone in Table 4-7. It should be noted that the MDD model demands for the high water users are based on actual field data collected during the calibration period, and they are not estimated with the MDD peaking factor included in Table 4-6. The MDD total 48,051 AFY (42.9 mgd; 29,790 gpm).

4-7.2 Water Unit Demand Factors
Existing consumption data was used in this study to represent the water use of existing customers. For future developments, water unit demand factors were used to estimate future water use. Potable water unit demand factors are generally based on the factors that were developed as a part of a study completed in May 2016 Ultimate Citywide Water Demand Estimate
The revised potable water unit demand factors are shown in Table 4-8.
The residential unit demand factors were first developed in terms of gpd/person. Then the maximum densities (people/du and du/ac) were applied to determine the factors in other units. The resulting unit factors in terms of gpd/du and gpd/ac represent the maximum expected demand factors.
The 2016 study included maximum residential densities in the Ontario Ranch area, which were based on rtment. Some of the recent
actual projections are higher than those included in the Ontario Plan, which needed to be updated to appropriately develop the demand factors and the future demand estimate. gpm mgd AFY

Generally, the ADD were increased with the factors included in Table 4-6 to develop the Maximum Day Demands (MDD), which are summarized by zone in Table 4-7. It should be noted that the MDD model demands for the high water users are based on actual field data collected during the calibration period, and they are not estimated with the MDD peaking factor included in Table 4-6. The MDD total 48,051 AFY (42.9 mgd; 29,790 gpm).

The City of Ontario’s Future water system demands utilized in this study are detailed in Table 4 CITY OF ONTARIO Potable Water Master Plan Update
1932
4-12 R:Rpts\\Ontario, City of|2020_Water Master Plan
The increase in future water demand is due to development of Ontario Ranch, anticipated densification in land will be fully occupied (vacant land will be built upon and occupied).
The total water maximum day demand for the future system is estimated 54,778 gpm (78.88 mgd; 88,357 AFY).
This Subsection describes the process of developing the future system demands for the areas that are going to be developed or redeveloped and distributing the demands in the hydraulic model. The existing demands remained the same unless an area was going to be redeveloped.
In summary, the following steps were used to estimate the future demands:
1. Existing meter data was used for existing uses.
2. Used Water Demand Factors included in Table 4-7 to estimate demand for the vacant and future densification areas. In areas of redevelopment the existing demands were updated with the estimated flows for the future development.
3. Appendix 4-1) provided the population and job
estimates for all future mixed use areas as defined by the Ontario Plan (General Plan). The unit flow factors provided in Table 4-7 were used to estimate the total average day water demand for mixed use areas. Any existing water demands were deducted from the total future average water demand estimate. If the existing demands were greater than the calculated future demands, the existing water demand was maintained in the hydraulic model. The difference was then applied to the hydraulic model in the specific mixed use area.
4. In the Original Model Colony, future average water demands were calculated for currently vacant parcels, assuming that they will be developed in the future per the land use designated in the General Plan. The parcel acreage and the water demand factors provided in Table 4-7 were utilized to estimate the total water demand.
5. All available specific plans and other more current planning information were utilized for Ontario Ranch.
The specific plan areas are shown on Figure 4-6. The City compiled the information and provided table specifying the proposed land uses (Appendix 4-1: Ontario Ranch Proposed Land Uses per Specific Plans). The detailed land use information and the water demand factors provided in Table 4-7 were utilized for calculating the future water demands. Demands were applied to the nearest model junction.
If less than 50 percent of a specific plan area was constructed at the time of this study, all existing water demand was removed and replaced with the projected future water demand. If a specific plan area was mostly constructed, the difference in existing and future water demand was added to the model in that particular area.
6. On the west side of Ontario Ranch, where no specific plans yet exist, the future water demands were calculated utilizing the General Plan land uses, parcel acreages, and the water demand factors provided in Table 4-7. Demands were applied to the nearest model junction.

Title 6, Chapter 8A, The Emergency
conservation issues. The reference for this Chapter is Ordinance 2907, which became effective June 16, 2009.
Voluntary conservation is encouraged to limit the amount of water used to the amount absolutely necessary for health, business, and irrigation. The following elements of conservation apply at all times on a voluntary basis:
Avoid hose washing of sidewalks, walkways, driveways, parking areas or other paved surfaces, except as required for sanitary purposes.
Wash motor vehicles, trailers, boats and other types of mobile equipment using a hand held bucket or a hose equipped with a positive shutoff nozzle for quick rinses, or at the immediate premises of a commercial car wash or with recycled wastewater for approved uses.
Avoid using water to clean, fill or maintain levels in decorative fountains, ponds, lakes or other similar aesthetic structures unless such water is part of a recycling system.
Encourage restaurants, hotels, cafés, cafeterias or other public places where food is sold, served or offered for sale, to serve drinking water only to those customers expressly requesting water.
Promptly repair all leaks from indoor and outdoor plumbing fixtures.
Avoid watering lawn, landscape or other turf area more often than every other day and during the hours between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Avoid causing or allowing the water to run off landscape areas into adjoining streets, sidewalks or other paved areas due to incorrectly directed or maintained sprinklers or excessive watering.
The City maintains water conservation information on their website for viewing by the public. Information includes water use efficiency and conservation tips, links to other websites pertaining to water conservation, area. Indoor and outdoor rebates are also offered to commercial businesses 4-9.1 California Water Conservation
A variety of executive orders have been issued since 2009 regarding water conservation in the state of California. The following is a brief summary:
1. November 2009 Senate Bill SBx7-7 (i.e. The Water Conservation Act of 2009) enacted Requires State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR) in consultation with other state agencies, to develop a single standardized water use reporting form that can be used by both urban and agricultural water agencies.
For urban water conservation, the legislation sets an overall goal of reducing per capita urban water use by 20 percent by December 31, 2020.
2. April 2014 Proclamation
Governor declares a drought State of Emergency to exist in California due to severe drought conditions.

Purpose of Study
The purpose of this letter report is to analyze the existing public sewer system downstream of the Esperanza PA 11 project and determine if there are any sewer system deficiencies created by the proposed development of this property and land use change from school site to medium density residential. This report will address any offsite (public) sewer system deficiencies that are created as a result of the development of the residential project.
A previous Ontario Ranch East Master Plan Sewer Study was prepared by L.D. King, Inc. for the overall master plan area in 2022 for the overall developer. This study will utilize that 2022 master plan where appropriate and will serve as an amendment to that 2022 master plan. Red lines of pertinent sections of the L.D. King, Inc. study are included in Appendix B.
Study Area
In general, the study area for this sewer report is the sewer sub-basin comprising of the tributary area surrounding the Esperanza PA 11 project up to the Eastern Trunk Sewer in Archibald Avenue. This sub-basin system collects the wastewater flow from Esperanza PA 11 and adjacent development. The gravity sewer in adjacent Amherst Avenue is an 8-inch sewer line that conveys wastewater to the connection with the 15-inch diameter sewer line running westerly in Eucalyptus Avenue. The 15-inch diameter sewer line in Eucalyptus Avenue turns south at Mill Creek Avenue and increases to 21-inch diameter before increasing to 27-inch diameter at Bellegrave Avenue and Merrill Avenue.
These existing public sewer facilities can be seen on Figure 2 and Exhibit A.
Sewer System Design Criteria
The design criteria used for the evaluation of the offsite sewerage system impacts by Esperanza PA 11 project are based on City design criteria. The City’s Master Plan itself was referenced to confirm the pertinent design criteria as well. A copy of the pertinent sections in the City’s Master Plan where the design criteria is located is attached as Appendix A. 1976

Sewer Generation Rates. The sewer generation rates for the project is presented as Table 1 below.
TABLE 1
ESPERANZA PA 11 SEWER GENERATION RATES
Land Use Generation Rate
Medium Density Residential 174 gpd/unit
Peaking Factors
The peaking factor utilized in this study is identified in City’s design criteria. To convert average dry weather flows to peak wet weather flows, the following equation was used:
Qpeak dry weather flow = 1.77 x Qavg
0.893, where Qpeak equals peak flow in MGD (million gallons per day) and Qavg equals average flow in MGD.
Qpeak wet weather flow = 1.34 x Qpeak dry weather flow
Manning’s “n”
The gravity sewer analyses are made using a computer spreadsheet calculation which uses the Manning Equation for all of its calculations. The Manning’s “n” used by the computer spreadsheet calculation is held as a constant for all depths in a circular conduit. The value of Manning’s “n” used for this study is 0.013 per the City criteria. 1978

Depth and Velocity of Flow in Gravity Sewers
Gravity sewer lines are designed to convey peak flow. For pipes up to 12 inches in diameter, flow depths are maintained at or below a d/D ratio of 0.50 under peak dry weather flows.
Pipes that are larger than 12-inches in diameter are designed for a maximum d/D ratio of
0.64 under peak dry weather flows. For either group, the depth of flow to d/D shall not exceed
0.82 with peak wet weather flows.
Gravity sewer lines are designed to maintain a minimum velocity of 2.0 feet per second at peak flow to prevent the deposition of solids.
Existing Sewer System
There are existing gravity sewer lines that are adjacent to the project site. The sewer line that will be utilized by the project is an 8-inch diameter gravity sewer line in Amherst Avenue on the western boundary of the project. This existing sewer line conveys flow southerly and westerly and ultimately connects to the existing Eastern Trunk Sewer line in Archibald Avenue. Appendix B provides reference information of the existing sewer lines utilized by the project.
Existing Sewer Flows. The sewer system analysis for Esperanza PA 11 project will need to consider sewage flows from existing development that is upstream and downstream of the project. Esperanza PA 11 project will be the most upstream development along this particular stretch of gravity sewer. Appendix B summarizes the projected sewage flows from existing downstream development.

Proposed Sewer Facilities
The projected sewer flow from Esperanza PA 11 project is based on the 161 residential unit site plan. Table 2 provides the summary of projected sewage flows for the project.
TABLE 2
ESPERANZA PA 11 PROJECTED SEWAGE FLOWS
Description Quantity Unit Flow Factor Total Avg. Flow
Residential 161 units 174 gpd/unit 28,014
Per the City design criteria, the peak dry weather flow to average flow ratio is approximately
2.59 based on the formula presented earlier this study, resulting in an estimated peak dry weather flow of 72,691 gpd (50 gpm). The peak wet weather flow is calculated to be 97,406 gpd (68 gpm).
The project will construct an onsite gravity sewer collection system within the project’s overall street distribution. The onsite sewer system within Esperanza PA 11 project is proposed to consist of 8-inch diameter gravity sewer lines. The existing and proposed sewer facilities for Esperanza PA 11 project are presented on Figure 2 and Exhibit A. 1980

Sewer System Analysis
To analyze the impact of Esperanza PA 11 project on the existing sewer system, a hydraulic analysis was conducted. Appendix C provides the hydraulic analysis output and Exhibit A provides the corresponding Manhole Diagram. To perform this analysis, we obtained AsBuilt and design drawings information of the existing sewer system so that the pipe sizes and slopes could be inputted to the spreadsheet. A key component of the hydraulic analysis is to estimate existing flows within the sewer lines that will be utilized to serve the Esperanza PA 11 project. Appendix B provided the summary of existing flows from existing offsite upstream and downstream development.
The existing downstream 8-inch, 15-inch, 21-inch, 24-inch, and 27-inch gravity sewer lines were analyzed to the point where it connects to the Eastern Trunk Sewer in Archibald Avenue.
Sewer System Analysis Results
Appendix C presents the results of the hydraulic analysis for Esperanza PA 11 project. The results indicate that the existing system has adequate capacity to serve the project. With the additional sewer flow from Esperanza PA 11 residential project, all sections of downstream sewer lines will flow less than depth criteria during peak flow conditions.
The analysis results in Appendix C also indicate where changes due to the land use occur in the downstream sewer system. These changes are indicated via red lines and comments.
A summary of the impacts of the existing downstream gravity sewer to the proposed project is shown below in Table 3.

Conclusions and Recommendations
The following conclusions have been made related to providing sewer service to Esperanza PA 11 project.
1. Esperanza PA 11 project can receive sewer service by connecting to an existing public 8-inch diameter gravity sewer line in Amherst Avenue and connecting to its proposed in-tract gravity sewer collection system. The project will construct an 8-inch diameter gravity sewer collection system onsite.
2. The development of the project is projected to result in an average sewage flow of 28,014 gpd.
3. Figure 2 provides the project layout including the location of existing and proposed sewer facilities.
4. A sewer system analysis was conducted (see Appendix C) and indicates that all existing and proposed sewer lines have adequate capacity to convey peak flows from existing development plus Esperanza PA 11 project while maintaining depth-todiameter ratios of less than City criteria. 1982

3-3.1 Residential Sewer Unit Flow Factors
As shown on Figure 3-1, the flow monitoring sites were primarily chosen in the Original Model Colony (OMC) areas, which are generally built out. The residential developments in this area is predominately low density residential (LDR) and high density residential (HDR), which were used to develop the sewage generation estimates in gallons per day per person.
The sewer unit flow factor for LDR and HDR were calculated to be 52 and 51 gpd/person, respectively, when applying annual sewer return ratios to the potable water unit flow factors. This calculation shows that the sewage generation per person is very similar, regardless of the residential land use categorization. For planning purposes, the sewage unit flow factor of 52 gpd per person was applied to all residential land use types, as shown in Table 3-2.
The majority of the new development is composed of low density residential (LDR) and low-medium density residential (LMDR) land use types, each with an estimated population density of 3.997 persons per dwelling unit. The sewer unit flow factor for both LDR and LMDR is 208 gpd/DU, when applying the sewage generation factor of 52 gpd per person.
The City’s planning department estimates that the medium density residential (MDR) and high density residential (HDR) land use types have population densities of 3.347 persons per dwelling unit. With the sewage generation factor of 52 gpd per person, the unit flow factor for MDR and HDR are 174 gpd per dwelling unit. 3-3.2 Non-Residential Sewer Unit Flow Factors
Commercial Land Uses
The City’s water meter billing data accounts for commercial indoor use, outdoor irrigation water use, as well as recycled water use. Excluding irrigation and recycled water use for commercial customers (business park, general commercial, office commercial, neighborhood commercial, and hospitality), a sewer return ratio of 89% of the annual average water use was developed. This return ratio was applied to the developed water demand factors to establish the sewer unit flow factors for commercial uses.
Hospitality Land Uses
The City’s 2010 General Plan defines an area along Vineyard Avenue, south of the I-10 Freeway and north of the Ontario International Airport, as the hospitality area. It consists of numerous hotels and restaurants that provide service for patrons of the airport. A sewer return ratio of 89% of the annual average water use was applied to the hospitality land use to establish the sewer unit flow factors.
Industrial Land Uses
Industrial land use types include a wide variety of businesses and manufacturing processes that causes sewage generation to vary significantly from one customer to another. This is evident in the wide range water use for different businesses with these land use categorizations. For example, warehouses typically use a low amount of water and generate low amounts of sewage. On the other hand, some manufacturing businesses can use large of amounts of water and contribute large amounts of sewage to the City’s sewer system.
The average sewer return ratio was estimated to be 75% of the annual average water use. For planning purposes and when no other specific planning information is available, the sewage generation will be based on DRAFT

the sewer unit flow factor of 1,060 gpd/ac. This factor was based on the number of future estimated jobs and the 51 gpd/job divided by the number of future industrial acres. It is considered quite conservative in comparison to the currently estimated factor of 244 gpd/ac per flow monitoring in a primarily industrial area. The reason the existing factor is so low is because many of the industrial areas consist of warehouse uses that don’t use a lot of water. In the future, these warehouses can be converted to manufacturing uses. Therefore, for planning purposes, the calculated unit flow factor of 1,060 gpd/ac is deemed appropriate.
It is recommended that the City evaluate future potential high water users on a case by case basis, as details regarding the proposed development or redevelopment area becomes available. The sewer hydraulic model should be utilized to make sure that the system is capable of handling the proposed sewage generation.
Public Facility and School Land Uses
Sewer return ratios of 85% and 80%, respectively were implemented for public facilities and schools. The sewer unit flow factor for public facilities is 1,450 gpd per acre. For schools, the sewer unit flow factor is 8 gpd per student.
3-4 Peaking Factors
3-4.1 Peak Dry Weather
The wastewater unit flow factors discussed in Section 3-3 are used to generate average dry weather flows (ADWF) entering the collection system. However, the adequacy of a sewage collection system is based upon its ability to convey the peak flows. At any individual point in the system, peak dry weather flow (PDWF) is estimated by converting the total average flow upstream of the point in question to peak dry weather flow by an empirical peak-to-average relationship.
The peaking formula commonly used in sewerage studies is of the following form:
PDWF = a x ADWF b where PDWF = Peak Dry Weather Flow
ADWF = Average Dry Weather Flow
a, b = Peaking Formula Coefficients
In order to develop the peaking formula and establish coefficient “a” and “b”, the maximum versus average flow measured was plotted for each flow monitoring site as shown in Figure 3-3.
Based on the best fit line through the data points shown in Figure 3-3, the following peaking relationship was selected for this study:
PDWF (mgd) = 1.77 x ADWF (mgd) 0.893
The coefficient “b” factor accounts for smaller tributary areas with smaller ADWF, which generally experience greater PDWF. The change in usage of one customer in a very small tributary area will have a greater effect on its corresponding PDWF than a change in usage of one customer is a very large tributary area.
Note that the units of the selected peaking formula are in million gallons per day (mgd). These peaks are generally observed between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. during weekdays and somewhat later in the morning hours during weekends in the predominantly residential areas.

Peaking Formula
3-4.2 Peak Wet Weather
The peak wet weather flow (PWWF) has two components: peak dry weather flow (PDWF) and rainfall dependent inflow/infiltration (I/I) as expressed by the following equation:
PWWF = PDWF + I/I
Inflow and infiltration is discussed further in Section 3-5.
The flow monitoring effort for this study did not cover a wet weather period. Until wet weather flow data can be collected, it is recommended that the peak wet weather flow be estimated as the following:
Peak Wet Weather Flow (PWWF) = 1.34 x Peak Dry Weather Flow (PDWF) Although the PWWF/PDWF factor of 1.34 may not cover all situations, it is not reasonable or feasible to design the sewer system to carry the flows that would result from the use of a larger ratio. Instead, it is recommended that the City concentrate on projects such as replacing manhole covers, installing plugs in manhole covers, and replacing or relining cracked pipes to reduce inflow and infiltration. 3-5 Inflow and Infiltration
Inflow is the surface water that typically gains entry to the sewer system through perforated or unsealed manhole covers during rainfall events. Infiltration is defined as water entering the collection system from the ground through defective pipes, pipe joint connections, or manhole walls. The sewer system design capacity (PDWF) = 1.77*(ADWF)0.893

must include allowances for these extraneous flow components, which inevitably become a part of the total flow. The amount of inflow and infiltration (I/I) that enters the system typically depends upon the availability, adequacy, and location of the storm water drainage facilities; age and condition of structures; materials and methods of construction; the location of the groundwater table; and the characteristics of the soil. In the absence of flow monitoring data, many regulating agencies utilize commonly accepted practices for estimating I/I. For example, I/I is often estimated based on the diameter and length of pipeline (100 to 400 gpd/ in. dia/ mile) or as a percentage of the peak flow or pipeline capacity.
AKM’s experience from other master planning studies and review of limited flow monitoring information available during severe rainfall events indicate that the peak wet weather flow can vary from 10 percent of average dry weather flows in steeper areas with adequate drainage facilities, to over 400 percent of average dry weather flows in flat areas that lack significant drainage facilities.
For this study, extraneous flow due to inflow and infiltration is included in the peak wet weather flow formula described above. If better data becomes available subsequently for specific areas, the analysis shall be updated based upon that information.
3-6 Sewer System Performance Evaluation Criteria
Sewer system performance evaluation criteria are established to ensure that the wastewater collection system can operate effectively under all flow conditions. Each pipe segment must be capable of carrying peak wet weather flows in the hydraulically stable zone of the pipe. Low flows must be conveyed at a velocity that will prevent solids from settling and blocking the system.
The design capacity of a gravity pipeline is the calculated capacity of the pipeline based on the Manning formula:
𝑄 ൌ 1.486 ∗ 𝐴 ∗ 𝑅
ଶ
ଷ
𝑆
ଵ
ଶ
𝑛
Sewer system capacity is established using a Manning’s friction factor of 0.013 for vitrified clay pipe.
The design and analysis of sewer pipes is typically based upon the depth to diameter ratio (d/D). In this study, existing pipes are considered capacity deficient if the d/D is above 0.64 at peak dry weather flows. This d/D ratio was arrived at by taking 75% of a pipe’s maximum stable flow capacity, which is at a d/D of 0.82. The area above a d/D of 0.82 is considered hydraulically unstable. The 25% pipe capacity above the d/D ratio of
0.64 is reserved for inflow and infiltration.
By setting the maximum allowable PWWF equal to the maximum capacity of the pipe (d/D ratio = 0.82) and setting the maximum allowable PDWF equal to 75% of the maximum pipe capacity (d/D ratio = 0.64), the PWWF/PDWF ratio is 1.34 (100% pipe capacity/75% pipe capacity) as stated in Section 3-4.2. where, Q = flow in cubic feet per second

The extra pipeline capacity also allows for the possibility that actual wastewater flows may be slightly higher than anticipated PDWF. Additionally, the area above the water surface helps to keep the sewage aerated, reducing the possibility of septic conditions and odors.
For new construction, the design and analysis of gravity sewer pipes shall be based on the following depth to diameter ratios:
Pipes 12-inches and smaller in diameter shall be designed to flow at a maximum d/D of 0.50 under peak dry weather flows
Pipes 15-inches and greater in diameter shall be designed to flow at a maximum d/D of 0.64 under peak dry weather flows
For either group, the depth of flow to diameter ratio shall not exceed 0.82 with peak wet weather flows Although this Sewer Master Plan study defined existing pipes as deficient when the d/D ratio exceeded 0.64 under peak dry weather flows, for all practical purposes the aforementioned design criteria must be adhered to.
For instance, if the sewer pipe is 12-inches and smaller and was designed to flow at a maximum PDWF d/D of
0.50 and is now constructed. The maximum PDWF d/D must be maintained at 0.50. Additional future development flow should not be allowed to contribute to this sewer pipe if the maximum PDWF d/D ratio is going to exceed 0.50.
At a minimum, all pipes shall be 8 inches or larger in diameter and the velocity of flow in the pipe shall be greater than 2 feet per second at average dry weather flow (ADWF). This velocity will prevent deposition of solids in the sewer and help to re-suspend any materials that may have already settled in the pipe. The minimum corresponding slopes for various pipe sizes are shown in Table 3-3.
It is important to note that the slopes listed in Table 3-3 assume the depth of flow in the pipe is 50 or 64 percent full depending on the size. If there is insufficient flow to create this condition, greater slopes than those shown may be required.
The peak flow velocity shall be less than 10 feet per second in vitrified clay pipe.
The City recognizes that minimum slopes and velocities are sometimes not achievable under certain circumstances. On a case by case basis, the City may approve sewer designs that do not meet these criteria. 3-7 Sewer Pump Station Performance Evaluation Criteria
It is desirable to develop a sewer collection system with as few pump stations as possible due to the associated cost and maintenance required. The City’s policy does not allow new pump stations. If a pump station is absolutely necessary, the following criteria shall be minimum standards.

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 body for the Project, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the administrative record for the Project. Based 2008
Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PGPA24-003
September 23, 2025
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 environmental impacts of this Project were reviewed in conjunction with an TOP 2050 Supplemental Environmental Impact Report — State Clearinghouse No. 2021070364 (Certified SEIR), which was certified by the Ontario City Council on August 16, 2022, in conjunction with File No. PGPA20-002; and
(2) The Addendum and administrative record have been completed in compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Ontario Local CEQA Guidelines; and
(3) The City's "Local Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)" provide for the use of a single environmental assessment in situations where the impacts of subsequent projects are adequately analyzed. This Application introduces no new significant environmental impacts; and (4) All previously adopted mitigation measures shall be a condition of Project approval, as they are applicable to the Project, and are incorporated herein by this reference; and
(5) The Addendum contains a complete and accurate reporting of the environmental impacts associated with the Project, and reflects the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and
(6) There is no substantial evidence in the administrative record supporting a fair argument that the Project may result in significant environmental impacts.
SECTION 2: Additional Environmental Review Not Required. Based on the Addendum, all related information presented to the Planning Commission, and the specific findings set forth in Section 1, above, the Planning Commission finds that the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report is not required for the Project, as the Project:
(1) Does not constitute substantial changes to the certified SEIR that will require major revisions to the Certified SEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and
(2) Does not constitute substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Certified SEIR was prepared, that will require major revisions to the 2009
Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PGPA24-003
September 23, 2025
Certified SEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects; and (3) Does not contain new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Certified SEIR was certified/adopted, that shows any of the following:
(a) The Project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the Certified SEIR; or
(b) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the Certified SEIR; or
(c) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project, but the City declined to adopt such measures; or (d) Mitigation measures or alternatives considerably different from those analyzed in the Certified SEIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but which the City declined to adopt.
SECTION 3: Housing Element Compliance. Pursuant to the requirements of California Government Code Chapter 3, Article 10.6, commencing with Section 65580, as the recommending body for the Project, the Planning Commission finds that based upon 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 TOP 2050, 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 4: 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 2010

As a result, the Planning Commission 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 5: 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 the Sections above, the Planning Commission hereby concludes as follows:
(1) The proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of TOP 2050 as follows:
Policy Plan (General Plan)
Land Use Element:
LU-1.1 Strategic Growth. We concentrate growth in strategic locations that help create place and identity, maximize available and planned infrastructure, foster the development of transit, and support the expansion of the active and multimodal transportation networks throughout the City.
LU-1.6 Complete Community. We incorporate 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, employers, workers, and visitors have a wide spectrum of choices of where they can live, work, shop and recreate within Ontario. Goal LU-2 Compatibility: Compatibility between a wide range of uses and a resultant urban patterns and forms.

SECTION 3: Housing Element Compliance. Pursuant to the requirements of California Government Code Chapter 3, Article 10.6, commencing with Section 65580, as the recommending body for the Project, the Planning Commission finds that based upon 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 TOP 2050, 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 1. Executive Summary
The Esperanza Specific Plan is a proposal for
the development of approximately 223 acres
located within the City of Ontario New Model
Colony (NMC) Ontario Ranch. The master
plan for Esperanza will provide for development
of a distinctive residential planned community
offering a variety of housing types within
walking distance to parks and private recreational
amenities. The regional context and local setting
of the Esperanza Specific Plan are illustrated in
Exhibit 1, “Regional Location Map” and Exhibit
2, “Vicinity Map.”
The Esperanza Specific Plan comprises all of
Planning Subarea 25 as depicted on the City of
Ontario New Model Colony (NMC) Ontario
Ranch General Plan Land Use Map. The
Esperanza Specific Plan reflects the current Land
Use Plan in The Ontario Plan (General Plan).
It encompasses the eastern edge of The Ontario
Ranch Master Planned Community. The Specific
Plan is bounded by Bellegrave Avenue to the
south, Milliken Hamner Avenue to the east,
and Mill Creek Avenue to the west. Old Edison
Road abuts the Specific Plan area on the north.
Approximately 174.10 net acres of Esperanza are
proposed for residential uses along with 9.89 net
acres of park uses.
The Esperanza Specific Plan establishes the
regulations and guidelines which will govern
development of the master planned community
within the Ontario Ranch General Plan. The
development plan as illustrated in Exhibit 3
“Land Use Plan,” is consistent with the goals
and policies of the NMC Ontario Ranch
General Plan combining livable residential
neighborhoods served by public and recreational
facilities as well as active open space offering
opportunities for social interaction among
residents.
Pedestrian accessibility is provided throughout
Esperanza, through a system of sidewalks
separated from the street by landscaped parkways
and landscaped buffer areas. Bicycle mobility
is provided within the community through a
system of on-street bicycle trails.
The NMC The Ontario Ranch General Plan,
adopted by the City of Ontario, designates
The Esperanza Specific Plan for development
of up to 1,456 residential dwelling units,
however, 46 161 residential dwelling units will
be developed within the Specific Plan area
originally anticipated to be a 10.02 acre school
site within Esperanza. On XX-XX-2020 10-20-
2020, a request to increase PA4 to 14DU/AC
was approved in order to accommodate a more
efficient, economical sized design, and more
appropriate product type. The increase allows for
the development of up to 1,640 1,652 units.

Introduction
The Esperanza Specific Plan (Specific Plan)
includes 223 acres of land designated for
residential uses as part of the Ontario Ranch
area within the City of Ontario. Esperanza, at
build out will be a residential master planned
community within the City of Ontario with a
traditional neighborhood design similar to that
found in older established communities.
2.1 Community Vision
and Objectives
The community vision for the Esperanza Specific
Plan is implemented through the application of
key design objectives guiding the development of
the Specific Plan as discussed below.
Objective: Create a Livable Environment
The Esperanza Specific Plan combines
residential, recreation and public facilities
designed to create a livable community and
includes features such as:
• A design which allows for alternative modes
of travel such as biking and walking.
• Opportunities for informal neighborhood
interaction.
• Diverse architectural design of a high quality.
• Connectivity among neighborhoods.
• Diversity and choice of housing types and
opportunities to address a variety of lifestyles
and economic segments of the marketplace.
• Residential neighborhoods developed
at a human scale oriented to pedestrian
activities with connectivity among residential
neighborhoods, parks, and schools.
• A simple and well-designed street system
providing street separated sidewalks and
active and passive recreational opportunities
allowing residents to experience increased
outdoor living opportunities.
• A variety of housing types incorporated
into the land use plan addressing lifestyle
considerations of singles, families, and empty
nesters.
• Residential neighborhoods designed around a
network of centrally located parks, promoting
outdoor activity and casual social interaction
among neighbors.
Objective: Plan for a Circulation System
Serving Motorists, Bicyclists and
Pedestrians
The circulation plan for the Esperanza Specific
Plan provides a comprehensive system of arterial,
collector, and local streets accommodating bicycle
and pedestrian travel as well as the safe and
efficient movement of automobiles within the
Specific Plan area:
• Street design includes landscaped buffer areas
and pedestrian walkways, separated from
the street, to create an intimate environment
promoting social interaction.
• Internal project streets are designed to slow
vehicular traffic through the use of traffic
calming devices such as a roundabout at “A”
Street adjacent to the neighborhood park,
landscaped areas adjacent to local streets, and
narrowed intersections to influence a driver’s
peripheral vision and encourage drivers to
proceed more slowly.
• A system of bikeways is integrated into the
design of the community to encourage bicycle
travel as an alternative to the automobile.

• A bicycle/pedestrian trail system will be
developed within the street system of the
Specific Plan area connecting the residential
areas of the Specific Plan to parks and points
surrounding the community providing
accessibility to bicyclists and pedestrians
throughout the community.
Objective: Promote Exceptional Architecture
and Site Planning
Diverse and varied architecture combined
with comprehensive site planning within
the Esperanza Specific Plan will produce
neighborhoods that have aesthetic and functional
harmony, preserve residents privacy, and
encourage neighborhood interaction. • Streets will be linked together in a manner, which is pedestrian friendly, but also autoaccessible connecting homes with other neighborhoods, open space, public facilities,
and recreational areas for residents to either
walk, bike, or drive to.
• A variety of housing types, including attached
and detached single family homes, will be
provided within the Specific Plan area, all
of which are located close to parks and open
space.
• Residential planning areas include a
variety of housing types oriented toward
the street adding interest and encouraging
neighborhood interaction along the street.
• Residential neighborhoods are designed with
houses addressing the street by: • Designing homes to a more human level with porches, stoops, and walkways
creating opportunities for neighborly
interaction.
• Homes fronting the street with garages
accessed from rear alleys.
• Minimizing views of garage doors through
setback requirements, location, design
elements, and landscaping.
• Incorporating varied architectural styles
and elements within each neighborhood.
2.2SpecificPlanPurpose
The City of Ontario will adopt the Esperanza
Specific Plan by ordinance thereby establishing
the land use plan, development standards,
infrastructure requirements, and implementation
requirements for the Specific Plan area. The
Esperanza Specific Plan establishes the type and
distribution of residential land uses, defines the
development regulations and design guidelines
for residential land use, establishes appropriate
locations for development of public parks,
and describes the infrastructure requirements
and the level of improvements necessary to
support development of the Specific Plan area.
The Esperanza Specific Plan establishes the
procedures and requirements to approve new
development within the Specific Plan area and
identifies, where applicable, City of Ontario
Development Code requirements.
2.3SpecificPlanProposal
2.3.1 Project Summary
The Esperanza Land Use Plan is described below
and in the Specific Plan “Statistical Summary,”
Table 1.
2.3.1.1 Residential Uses
Esperanza will provide for development of a
variety of residential housing types oriented
toward open space amenities and designed to
promote walkability and interaction among
residents. Residential development within the
approximately 223 acre Specific Plan area will
contain up to 1.594 1,652 residential dwelling
units, providing a mix of single family detached
and single family attached housing types as
described below. In the event Planning Area 11,
reserved as for a 10.02 acre school site, is not
purchased by the Mountain View School District
Planning Area 11 may revert to a residential
zoning district for development of up to 46 161
additional dwelling units subject to approval by
the City of a Specific Plan Amendment.
2.3.2.2 Residential Detached
Esperanza offers six different types of single
family detached residential products for
development within the Specific Plan area. • SFD Conventional – Conventional single family detached residential units are proposed
on lots ranging from 3,900 square feet to
4,900 square feet in size. Vehicular access is
provided from interior streets and garages
are set back from the front of the residence
emphasizing the architectural elements
forming the streetscene. These residential
types will be developed at density levels
between 5.56 to 6.18 dwelling units per net
acre.
• SFD Cottage – Alley served single family
detached residential dwelling units will be
developed in two planning areas designed
with an architectural orientation to the street
by locating garages to the rear of residential
units. Alley loaded residential areas will be
developed at an average density of 7.89
dwelling units per net acre with a minimum
lot size of 2,400 square feet.
• SFD 2 Pack – Residential single family
detached development on minimum lots of
3,400 square feet in size will be developed in
a 2 Pack configuration. Residential 2 Pack
housing will be developed at a density of 6.84
dwelling units per net acre. Garages within
this housing type are alternately placed to the
rear of the lot or placed a significant distance
from the street maintaining an architecture
forward streetscene.
2043
Section 2. Introduction Section 2. Introduction
2.4 2.5
• SFD Courtyard – Two types of single
family detached courtyard housing types
are planned for Esperanza. Courtyard
single family residential consisting of four
units per courtyard will be developed at
approximately 8.9 dwelling units per net
acre. This type of housing will be developed
around a 1 acre public park and will be
served by public streets with private drive
aisles accessing residential units developed
around a common motorcourt. Courtyard
single family residential courts of six units per
courtyard will be developed at approximately
7.48 dwelling units per net acre. This type of
courtyard housing will be developed around
private streets and parks with private drive
aisles serving residential units developed
around a common motorcourt. The courtyard
design planned for both housing types places
garages in alternating side on and street facing
conditions either minimizing or eliminating
visibility of garages from the street.
2.3.1.3 Residential Attached
Two types of single family attached residential
development products are planned within
Esperanza. Alley loaded row townhomes
designed around a private common green will be
developed at approximately 14.05 dwelling units
per net acre within PA 3 and at approximately
16.07 dwelling units per net acre in PA 11.
Single family attached motorcourt townhomes
will be developed at approximately 13.76
dwelling units per net acre. The motorcourt
townhome residential housing type will be
served by private streets with drive aisles
providing access to a motorcourt serving 10 to 12
residential dwelling units. Both the alley loaded
row townhome and the motorcourt townhome
residential housing types are designed with
garages located to the rear or turned to side on to
the street preserving an architecturally interesting
streetscene.
2.3.1.4 Parks, Trails, and Open
Space
A centrally located 5.36 acre neighborhood
park is planned to serve the Specific Plan area
providing opportunities for informal active
recreation such as soccer and baseball. Four
additional parks ranging in size from .84 to
1.39 acres are provided offering opportunities
for active and passive recreation and informal
gathering among neighbors. Approximately 6.62
acres of the Specific Plan area will be developed
as enhanced landscaped parkways along major
streets serving the community. These enhanced
parkways will include pedestrian walkways
providing connectivity to and from the Specific
Plan area and to the pedestrian network to be
developed within the community, connecting all
residential neighborhoods to parks. Within the
townhome residential areas, private open space as
well as private active recreation centers, including
swimming pools and spas, will be provided.
2.4 Authority and
Requirements
2.4.1 Authority
State of California Government Code, Title
7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Section
65450-57 grants authority to cities to adopt
Specific Plans for purposes of implementing
the goals and policies of their General Plans.
The Government Code specifies that Specific
Plans may be adopted either by resolution
or by ordinance and that the Specific Plan is
required to be consistent with the General Plan.
The City of Ontario will adopt the Esperanza
Specific Plan by ordinance thereby establishing
the zoning regulations for development of the
Specific Plan area. The requirements of the
Esperanza Specific Plan shall take precedence
over the City of Ontario Development Code. In
instances where the Esperanza Specific Plan is
silent, the City of Ontario Development Code
shall prevail.
2.4.2 Requirements of
the Specific Plan
California Government Code Section 65451
sets forth the minimum requirements and review
procedures for Specific Plans as follows.
A Specific Plan shall include a text and a
diagram or diagrams, which specify all of the
following in detail:
1. The distribution, location, and extent of the
uses of land, including open space, within the
area covered by the plan;
2. The proposed distribution, location, and
extent and intensity of major components
of public and private transportation, sewage,
water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy,
and other essential facilities proposed to be
located within the area covered by the plan
and needed to support the land uses described
in the plan;
3. Standards and criteria by which
improvements will proceed, and standards for
the conservation, development, and utilization

2.5 Development Approval
Components
The components of the development approval
process for Esperanza are discussed below.
2.5.1 Specific Plan
The Esperanza Specific Plan, when adopted,
provides the zoning for the Specific Plan area.
It serves as a “blueprint” for development by
establishing the distribution of land use and
criteria for development as set forth herein. The
Esperanza Specific Plan also serves as the legal
document to implement the City’s General Plan.
2.5.2 Development
Agreement
Unless done in a coordinated manner and with
adequate fiscal planning, development projects
within the NMC Ontario Ranch are likely to
present a challenge in their implementation
because of the lack of existing public facilities
including street, sewerage, transportation,
drinking water, school and utility facilities.
California law has established a mechanism
for ensuring the adequate provision of such
facilities while at the same time providing
assurances to applicants that, upon approval
of the project, the applicants can proceed with
their projects. Approval of this Specific Plan
without a development agreement may result in
a waste of resources, escalate the cost of housing
to the consumer, and discourage investment in
and commitment to comprehensive planning
as envisioned by the City, which seeks to make
maximum efficient utilization of resources at the
least economic cost to the public.
Therefore, a statutory development agreement,
authorized pursuant to California Government
Code sections 65864 et seq., shall be required
as part of the approval of this Specific Plan. For
the above-mentioned reasons, the development
agreement for this Specific Plan shall include,
among other things, methods for financing
acquisition and construction of infrastructure,
acquisition and development of adequate levels
of parkland, and schools, as well as the provision
of adequate housing opportunities for various
segments of the community consistent with
the regional housing needs assessment. Such
development agreement shall have been fully
approved before the issuance of the first building
permit for this project.
2.5.3 Subdivision Maps
A tentative tract map(s) will be approved by
the City of Ontario for the Specific Plan area
indicating the approximate location of lot lines,
streets, and proposed grading. Following approval
by the City of the tentative tract map(s), a
final map(s) will be prepared. The final map(s)
becomes a legal document that is recorded and
defines legal parcels and lots that can be sold for
development.
2.5.4 Development Plan
Review
All development proposals for individual
Planning Areas within the Specific Plan will be
subject to the Development Plan Review process
pursuant to Article 8 of the City’s Development
Code.
2.6 CEQA Compliance
A Project Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) prepared by the City of Ontario for the
Esperanza Specific Plan, in accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), addresses impacts associated with the
Specific Plan and subdivision map(s). The EIR
recommends mitigation measures to reduce
impacts of the project to a less than significant
level. The EIR has been prepared as a basis for
the environmental review for all subsequent
discretionary and ministerial actions.
2.7 Relationship To General
Plan And Zoning
The City of Ontario NMC Ontario Ranch
General Plan designates the Specific Plan area
for development of the following land uses:
The General Plan establishes a target
development capacity of 1.456 1,652 residential
dwelling units as further described below:

sizes and product types on property designated
for multi-family uses, including “ResidentialMedium” and “Residential-High” density housing.
The City of Ontario has pre-zoned the Specific
Plan area as SP/AG (Specific Plan AG preserve).
The zoning designation of “SP” requires the
Specific Plan area to implement the objectives
of the NMC Ontario Ranch General Plan land
uses.
The Esperanza Specific Plan is designed to
meet the requirements of the State of California
Government Code and the City of Ontario
NMC Ontario Ranch General Plan. The City of
Ontario will adopt the Esperanza Specific Plan
by ordinance, thereby establishing the zoning
regulations for the development of the Specific

crop farming, and is currently in development
as illustrated on Exhibit 5, “Existing and
Surrounding Land Uses.” Existing improvements
within northern and eastern portions of
the Specific Plan area controlled by RCCD
Development, are currently in development. All
dairy related structures in this area have been
demolished and removed. Existing agricultural
related facilities such as modular structures and
feedlots located within the properties owned
by Richland Communities have also been
demolished and removed in preparation for
development.

3.7.1 Water
The Specific Plan area is located within the
925’ Zone. The City of Ontario does not have
water facilities in the vicinity of the project.
The nearest City of Ontario water mains are in
Riverside Drive, approximately 1.5 miles north of
the Specific Plan area. These existing water mains
have not been sized to serve development in the
925’ Zone. On site residential use on the site are
served by private wells. Existing well locations
within the Specific Plan area are illustrated on
Exhibit 7, “Existing Site Topography and Well
Locations.” A well use/destruction plan and
schedule for all existing private or agricultural
wells shall be submitted prior to issuance of
permits for any construction activity. If a
private well is actively used for water supply,
the developer shall submit a plan to abandon
the well and connect residential users to the
City’s domestic water system and agricultural
users to the City’s recycled water system when
available. Well destruction requires permitting
from the County Health Department. A copy
of the permit and Well Completion Report
DWR form 188 shall be provided to the City’s
Development Engineering Department and
the Utilities Engineering Department prior to
issuance of grading and/or building permits.
If the developer proposes temporary use of an
existing agricultural well for purposes other
than agriculture, such as grading or dust control
during project construction, the developer shall
make a formal request to the City of Ontario
for such use prior to issuance of permits for
the construction activity. Upon approval, the
developer shall enter into an agreement with the
City of Ontario and pay any applicable fees as set
forth by the agreement.
An existing 16” high-pressure water main is
located along the east side of Milliken Hamner
Avenue, adjacent to the Specific Plan area, in
the County of Riverside, and is owned by Jurupa
Community Services District, ( JCSD). JCSD
also owns a 30” water main in Bellegrave Avenue
east of Milliken Hamner Avenue and a 30” water
main in Hamner Avenue south of Bellegrave
Avenue which provides water to the existing
residential areas on the south side of Bellegrave
Avenue.
3.7.2 Sewer
The City of Ontario does not have sewer facilities
in the vicinity of the Specific Plan area. Existing
on site residences utilize private septic systems.
Prior to grading operations, existing septic tanks
and subsurface disposal fields will need to be
abandoned in accordance with Department of
Health Services requirements. An existing 42”
Santa Ana Regional Interceptor (SARI) sewer
main extends southerly in Hamner Avenue south
of Bellegrave Avenue. The SARI line is primarily
available for industrial wastewater, which is
conveyed to Orange County for treatment and
disposal. JCSD is currently utilizing the SARI
line for the disposal of residential wastewater,
and has excess capacity for this purpose.
3.7.3 Drainage
The County Line Channel is located within
Bellegrave Avenue. The channel is a City of
Ontario Master Plan facility intended to carry
urban runoff from those properties tributary to
the north, to the Cucamonga Creek Channel.
With the exception of the County Line Channel,
the existing storm drain system throughout
the Specific Plan area, is generally unimproved
and consists primarily of open earthen swales
along area roadways and the earthen drainage
interceptor ditch paralleling the southerly
boundary of the Specific Plan area which outlets
into the existing drainage basin located at the
southwest corner of the site. The drainage basin
outlets into an existing Riverside County storm
drain line in Mill Creek Avenue, formerly known
as Cleveland Avenue. The on site basin and
the connection to the Riverside County storm
drain line are interim improvements. Upon
development of the Specific Plan area the basin
will be eliminated and the storm flows from the
Specific Plan area will be tributary to the County
Line Channel.
3.7.4 Recycled Water
The Specific Plan area is located within the
930 Zone. The City of Ontario does not have
recycled water facilities in the vicinity of the
project. As a part of the development of the
Specific Plan area, the construction of new
recycled water system facilities will be required
by the developer consistent with the City’s
approved Recycled Water Master Plan.
3.7.5 Electricity
The Esperanza Specific Plan is located within the
service territory of Southern California Edison
Company.
3.7.6 Natural Gas
The Southern California Gas Company provides
natural gas service within the Specific Plan area.
Facilities in this area include an existing 6-inch
main on Milliken Hamner Avenue; an existing
2-inch main on Eucalyptus Avenue; and an
existing 2inch main on Cleveland Avenue (future
Mill Creek Avenue).
3.7.7 Communication
Systems
Verizon provides telephone service within the
Specific Plan area.
3.7.8 Solid Waste
The City of Ontario Public Works Agency
currently, by request, provides solid waste
collection and disposal to the NMC Ontario
Ranch.
3.8Hydrology
Since most of the Specific Plan area has been
in agricultural use, only a limited portion of
the Specific Plan area is now covered with
impervious surfaces. Normal rainfall to the area
is able to percolate through on-site soils and does
not result in high volumes of surface runoff as
is typically associated with urban use. During
periods of heavy rainfall, when ground surfaces
are saturated, surface runoff is collected in the
existing storm drains, culverts, and retention
basins located within the Specific Plan area.
With the exception of major regional flood
control channels such as the Cucamonga
Creek Channel, intended primarily to carry
urban runoff, the existing storm drain system
throughout the Specific Plan area is generally
unimproved and consists primarily of open
earthen swales along area roadways or curbed
roadway surfaces.
Ground waters within the NMC Ontario Ranch
,
as a whole, contain high concentrations of salt,
attributable to historic agricultural activities
such as dairy farming. The high organic content
of on-site soils has contributed incrementally
to the degradation of surface and groundwater
quality. Removal of the organic materials, which
constitute by-products of those dairy operations,
and compliance with National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and
other storm water permit requirements, will
beneficially impact regional water quality.
3.9GeologyAnd Soils
The City of Ontario NMC Ontario Ranch
General Plan EIR identifies the Specific Plan
area as underlain by Pleistocene age (older
than 12,000 years) and Holocene age (less than
12,000 years old) alluvial deposits. The youngest
surficial deposit is eolian sands (Qhs), comprising
wind-blown sands having fine- to medium-sized
grains.
2049
Section 4.
Land Use
4.1 Section 3. Existing Conditions
3.8 These loose sands form sheets and low-dune
deposits that have been stabilized by vegetation.
These deposits are exposed in the eastern portion
of the NMC Ontario Ranch area and extend
westward to an area defined generally by a
diagonal line extending from Harrison Avenue,
within Riverside County, on the south to
Vineyard Avenue on the north.
It is expected that most of these materials will
be uncemented and subject to consolidation
when saturated under structural loads. Erosion
potential is considered high. Foundation and
backfill suitability should be satisfactory with
proper over-excavation, mixing with a finergrained binder material, and compaction.
The Specific Plan area contains delhi series soils,
as mapped by the United States Department of
Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service in 1971
and 1980. Delhi series soils have been used for
agriculture, primarily for grapes and citrus, since
the 1800’s. As part of the EIR prepared for the
Esperanza Specific Plan additional geologic and
soils information for the Specific Plan area will
be provided.
3.10Seismicity
The City of Ontario NMC Ontario Ranch
General Plan EIR identified numerous
earthquake faults within a 50-mile radius of the
Specific Plan area. Major mapped faults include,
but are not limited to, the Chino, Whittier and
North Elsinore, and Cucamonga Faults. For the
“maximum probable earthquake” (MPE), defined
as the 100-year event normally considered in the
design of noncritical structures, the values range
from about 0.13 to 0.20 g (i.e., the unit force
of gravity). In the design of certain critical or
important facilities such as hospitals and dams,
the “maximum credible earthquake” (MCE)
event is considered. For the three faults, the
MCE should yield an estimated peak horizontal
acceleration in the range of 0.33 to 0.52 g.
A zone of concentrated, relatively low-magnitude
seismicity extends to the southwest from the
San Jacinto fault zone (Rialto-Colton branch)
along what is referred to an “inferred fault near
Fontana.” Where the “inferred fault” (Fontana
trend) stops, this zone of micro-seismicity
continues in a southwesterly to westerly direction
terminating in the Sphere of Influence area. It
is expected that the MPE for this fault structure
could produce horizontal accelerations in the
range of 0.3 to 0.5g. More distant faults are
capable of larger earthquakes with a higher
probability of occurrence. The San Andreas fault
is expected to generate a MCE event every 150
to 200 years, yielding a peak horizontal ground
acceleration of approximately 0.21 to 0.26 g in
the NMC Ontario Ranch
.
In accordance with the “Uniform Building
Code” (UBC), the Esperanza Specific Plan area
is located within Seismic Zone No. 4. UBC
procedures have been designed to ensure that all
subsequent development occurs in a safe manner
relative to those known hazards. As part of the
EIR prepared for the Esperanza Specific Plan,
additional seismicity analysis will be prepared.
3.11Vegetation
The Specific Plan area has been extensively used
for agricultural operations including dairy use.
Those areas not in active agricultural production
are occupied by rural residential housing. The
natural vegetation and soils conditions that once
occurred throughout the Specific Plan area have
been significantly altered through agricultural
uses, leaving little or no native vegetation. As
part of the EIR prepared for the Esperanza
Specific Plan, additional vegetation analysis will
be prepared.
Section 4. Land UUsse
4.1Introduction
The Esperanza Specific Plan offers a variety of
residential housing types within a community
designed around a system of parks located
within easy walking distance from each
residential Planning Area. Pedestrian and bicycle
connectivity is provided through a system of
street separated walkways and on-street bicycle
trails linking each residential Planning Area and
connecting to parks located within Esperanza.
Residential development, comprised of
approximately 164.08 174.10 net acres, is
designed to address a variety of lifestyles, such
as singles, families, executives and “empty
nesters.” Single family detached housing types
will include conventional detached homes on lots
varying between 3,900 and 4,900 square feet in
size, homes designed in a 2-Pack configuration,
alley loaded cottage homes, and two types of
courtyard homes. Attached housing will include
row townhomes and motorcourt townhomes
designed around a common motorcourt.
Parks comprise approximately 9.89 net acres of
Esperanza and are distributed throughout the
community offering recreational opportunities
within close proximity to each residential
neighborhood.
The Land Use Plan shown in Exhibit 8, “Land
Use Plan” depicts the proposed land uses for
Esperanza. The “Land Use Summary,” Table 2,
provides a tabulation of land uses by acreage and
residential density.
4.2ResidentialUse
The Esperanza Specific Plan permits the
development of up to 1.594 1,652 residential
dwelling units providing single-family detached
homes and single family attached homes.
Residential land use areas are contained within
11 distinctive Planning Areas linked by a
network of street separated sidewalks and onstreet bicycle paths connecting all the Planning Areas to a centrally located park.
4.2.1 Variety of Housing Types

Approximately 100 residential 2-Pack dwelling
units will be developed on approximately 14.62
acres at a density of 6.84 dwelling units per net
acre with a minimum lot size of 3,400 square
feet. By configuring the units in a 2 Pack design,
a larger usable sideyard area is provided for each
unit and garages can be either located to the rear
of the lot or set back from the front of the homes
at a distance, which preserves the streetscene for
home frontage. Residential housing in a 2 Pack
design is planned for Planning Area 10.
4.2.1.4 Single Family Detached –
RD-4 (Cottage Homes)
Esperanza will allow for approximately 243
single family detached cottage home residential
dwelling units developed on approximately 30.81
acres on lots of approximately 2,400 minimum
square feet at an average density of 7.89 dwelling
units per net acre. This alley loaded residential
development will be designed to embrace the
street and maintain an architectural orientation
for the street. Cottage single family detached
residential dwelling units are proposed for
Planning Areas 2 and 6 within Esperanza.
4.2.1.5 Single Family Detached
or Attached – RD-5 and
RD-6 (Courtyard & RowTownhomes)
Two types of single family detached housing in
a courtyard design are proposed for Esperanza.
A total of 157 dwelling units will be developed
as RD-5 residential housing within a module
comprised of 4 residential units surrounding a
common motorcourt. RD-5 residential products
are proposed for 17.64 acres of Esperanza within
Planning Area 5 at a density of 8.90 dwelling
units per net acre. A total of 303 dwelling units
will be developed as RD-6 residential housing
within a module comprised of 6 residential
units surrounding a common motorcourt or
row townhomes. RD-6 residential products are
proposed for 19.92 acres of Esperanza within
Planning Areas 2 and 4 at a density of 16.72
dwelling units per net acre. Garages are accessed
from the motorcourt or alley, which allows for
the fronts of garages to be turned away from the
street or set back far enough from the street that
the residential architecture is the predominant
streetscene feature.
4.2.1.6 Single Family Attached –
RD-7 (Row Townhomes)
RD-7 residential product proposed for
Esperanza consists of 319 units of attached row
and motorcourt townhomes within Planning
Area 1, 156 units of attached row townhomes
to be developed on approximately 11.1 acres
at density of 14.05 dwelling units per net
acre within Planning Area 3 and 46 161 row
townhomes at approximately 16.07 dwelling
units per net acre in PA 11. RD-7 residential
product is designed with alley access maintaining
an architectural streetscene.
4.2.1.7 Single Family Attached
– RD-8 (Motorcourt
Townhomes)
RD-8 residential product proposed for
Esperanza consists of 238 units of attached
townhomes designed around a common
motorcourt. RD-8 residential product will be
developed on approximately 19.42 acres at a
density of 13.76 dwelling units per net acre
within Planning Area 3.
4.2.2 Neighborhood Design
The community plan for Esperanza offers a
neighborhood design reminiscent of older
traditional Southern California neighborhoods.
The design features described below are
intended to create a strong identity and sense of
neighborhood for the residents of Esperanza.
A “modified grid” style of street design in
residential neighborhoods with sidewalks
separated by landscaped parkways provide visual
interest, slow traffic on each street by providing
alternate routes, and enhance a pedestrian
orientation for neighborhoods. Sidewalks
separated from streets by landscaped parkways
promote pedestrian mobility and encourage
opportunities for neighbors to meet and greet
each other along the street.
A human scale of architecture within Esperanza
will enhance the pedestrian friendly character of
the community. Architectural features such as
front porches, railings, enhanced entries, a mix of
materials and textures, and authentic detailing on
elements such as windows and doors, columns,
balconies, and lighting combine to create a
human scale of residential architecture.
Innovative garage designs will be utilized in
order to de-emphasize the visual impact of
garage doors on the streetscene. Such design
techniques will include shallow, mid, or deep
recessed garages , split-garages, turn-in garages,
tandem garages, garages located on rear alleys,
and garages located around a common courtyard
in order to de-emphasize their view from the
street.
4.3Parks
Parks are provided throughout the Esperanza
Specific Plan area within easy walking distance
to any residential neighborhood. Exhibit 9,
“Master Plan of Parks,” illustrates the types and
locations of parks planned for Esperanza.
4.3.1 Neighborhood Park
An approximately 5.39 net acre centrally located
neighborhood park will be developed as part of
Esperanza. The neighborhood park will include
picnic areas, tot lots, trails, and open play fields.
4.3.2 Pocket Parks
An approximately .84 net acre park will be
provided for recreational use within Planning
Area 9. An approximately 1.29 net acre park
will be located within Planning Area 6, a one
acre park will be provided within Planning Area
5, and an approximately 1.39 net acre linear park
will be provided in Planning Area 10. Private
open space areas of approximately ½ acre in size
will be provided as part of the development of
Planning Areas 1, 3 and 4. The exact size and
locations of these private open space areas will
be determined as part of the final site design for
these neighborhoods.
4.4School Site
A 10.02 net acre site was originally reserved
within the Esperanza Specific Plan for the
development of an elementary school to serve the
K-5 school age needs of the Ontario community.
In the event the school site in Esperanza is not
purchased by the Mountain View School District
the 10.02 acre site may revert to a residential
zone for the development of an additional 46
161 row townhome residential dwelling units
pursuant to the provisions established in Section
7, “Implementation.”

The infrastructure, utilities, and public services
to be provided as part of the development of the
Esperanza Specific Plan are discussed in this
section.
5.1Circulation
The circulation plan for Esperanza reinforces
the objectives of providing a traditional
neighborhood design. In addition to providing
safe and efficient movement of vehicular traffic
through the project, the Circulation Plan also
provides a safe environment for pedestrian
movement and bicycle traffic reducing the
reliance on the automobile as a means of travel.
In addition, transit stops and bus turnouts will
be provided as required by Omnitrans, along
the Master Plan streets, which are a part of the
Esperanza community. The “Master Circulation
Plan,” Exhibit 10 establishes the hierarchy and
general location of roadways within Esperanza.
The minimum design speeds to be used for
centerline curve radii, super elevation, corner
sight distance; vertical and horizontal alignment
and sight distance, etc. are listed below:
5.1.1 Master Planned
Roadways
The Esperanza Specific Plan is bounded on
the east, south, west, and is bisected by four
City of Ontario Master Plan roadways, which
will provide access to and from the Specific
Plan area. Additional rights of way may be
needed at critical intersections to accommodate
additional left and right turn lanes pursuant
to the recommendations of the traffic study
prepared for the Ontario Ranch. Hamner
Avenue bounds the Specific Plan area to the east
and is the county line between San Bernardino
and Riverside Counties; Bellegrave Avenue
bounds the Specific Plan area to the south and
is also the county line between San Bernardino
and Riverside Counties; Mill Creek Avenue
bounds the Specific Plan area to the west, and
Eucalyptus Avenue bisects the Specific Plan area
in an east/west direction.
Where the Specific Plan limits extend to the
centerline of any roadway, the development
project shall construct the full half-width street
improvement, plus a 14-foot travel lane with a
5-foot paved shoulder beyond the centerline.
If the roadway includes a raised median, the
project shall construct the full median, and the
additional 14-foot travel lane with a 5-foot paved
shoulder. The 14-foot travel lane is a minimum
that may be increased as necessary pursuant to
the requirements of the City Engineer.
5.1.1.1 Hamner Avenue
Hamner Avenue abuts the Specific Plan area
on the east. Hamner Avenue is a designated
Divided Arterial Parkway 1-1 roadway with a
total right-of-way of 148 feet. Hamner Avenue
will carry regional traffic to and from Esperanza
and will provide access to the specific plan area
along the eastern boundary of the specific plan
area. Exhibit 11, “Hamner Avenue” illustrates
the improvements for Hamner Avenue. The
developer of the Specific Plan area adjacent to
Hamner Avenue will be responsible for all on site
improvements for the westerly half of Hamner
Avenue as determined by the City Engineer and
pursuant to the mitigation measures identified
in the EIR and the Conditions of Approval
established on the approved tentative maps
for the project. Bus turnouts will be required
along Hamner Avenue to the satisfaction of the
City Engineering Department and Omnitrans.
Parking will be prohibited on Hamner Avenue.

5.1.1.2 Bellegrave Avenue
Bellegrave Avenue, a Standard Arterial roadway,
abuts the Specific Plan area on the south and
carries regional east/west traffic to and from
Esperanza. Improvements to the south side
of Bellegrave Avenue currently exist. Exhibit
12, “Bellegrave Avenue” illustrates the halfstreet improvements for Bellegrave Avenue.
The developer will be responsible for all on
site improvements for the northerly half of
Bellegrave Avenue. Phasing of the improvements
will be determined by the City Engineer and
pursuant to the mitigation measures identified
in the EIR and the Conditions of Approval
established on the approved tentative maps for
the project. Bus turnouts will be required along
Bellegrave Avenue to the satisfaction of the City
and Omnitrans.
5.1.1.3 Mill Creek Avenue
Mill Creek Avenue abuts the Specific Plan area
on the west. Mill Creek Avenue is a designated
Collector Street with an ultimate right-ofway
of 88 feet, with 64 feet of paved area and a
12-foot parkway on each side of the street, to
include a 5-foot sidewalk separated from the
street by a 7-foot landscaped area. In addition
a landscaped buffer of 18 feet in width will be
provided between the back of the sidewalk and
the residential community wall. The rightofway improvements required to Mill Creek Avenue are illustrated in Exhibit 13, “Mill Creek
Avenue.” The developer(s) will be responsible
for the off site improvements as determined
by the City Engineer and pursuant to the
mitigation measures identified in the EIR and
the Conditions of Approval established on the
approved tentative maps for the project. Bus
turnouts will be required along Mill Creek
Avenue to the satisfaction of the City and
Omnitrans. Parking will be prohibited on Mill
Creek Avenue. Exhibit 13, “Mill Creek Avenue”
illustrates these improvements.
5.1.1.4 Eucalyptus Avenue
Eucalyptus Avenue bisects the Specific Plan
area and is designated as a Standard Arterial
roadway. Exhibit 14, “Eucalyptus Avenue”
illustrates the Eucalyptus Avenue full-street
improvements. The developer will be responsible
for all improvements to Eucalyptus Avenue.
The phasing of these improvements will be
determined by the City Engineer and pursuant
to the mitigation measures identified in the EIR
and the Conditions of Approval established on
the tentative maps for the project. Parking will
be prohibited on Eucalyptus Avenue.
5.1.2 Local Streets and Alleys
Within the Specific Plan area neighborhood
streets of varying design will provide access and
circulation through the community. Many of the
neighborhoods will be served by private alleys,
which are located in the rear of residences, in
order to maintain a traditional, “architecture
forward” streetscape for the community. Public
and private local streets within residential
areas are designed to distribute vehicular traffic
from the public arterial and collector streets
adjacent to the Specific Plan area into and
through residential neighborhoods. Local streets
and private alleys proposed for Esperanza are
illustrated on Exhibit 15, “A Street” – Primary
Local Street” Exhibit 16, “Local Streets and
Cul-De-Sac Sections;” Exhibit 17, “Private

5.1.3 Traffic Calming
The Esperanza Specific Plan includes design
features within residential neighborhoods to
encourage drivers to proceed slowly and reduce
traffic noise on streets contributing to safe and
livable neighborhoods in which to walk, bike,
and drive.
Traffic calming within the Esperanza Specific
Plan is designed to address the following goals:
• Reduction in traffic speeds.
• Reduction in traffic related noise.
• A safe and pedestrian friendly circulation
system to encourage walking.
The following design features will be
implemented in the roadways within Esperanza.
Local Neighborhood Street Design
Neighborhood streets within Esperanza are
designed in a “modified grid” with landscaping
on either side within parkways to add interest
in the street encouraging drivers to slow their
travel speed and observe their surroundings.
Incorporating tapered intersections for
local streets as illustrated in Exhibit 19,
“Neighborhood Street Tapers,” may reduce traffic
speeds on local residential streets.
Alleys Tapers
Private alleys within Esperanza will consist of
20-24 feet of paved travel area with 3-5 feet
of landscaping on each side. Speeds for traffic
entering the alleys and cut through traffic can be
reduced by incorporating tapers at the entrance
to these alleys as illustrated on Exhibit 20, “Alley
Tapers.”
Landscaping
Landscaping adjacent to streets within the
Specific Plan area will combine the use of shade
trees, shrubs, and groundcover adjacent to
sidewalks to create a more intimate streetscape
encouraging drivers to reduce driving speeds.
The landscape concept for Esperanza is designed
to contribute to a sense of the street system as
a pedestrian protected area to promote slower
traffic speeds.
Roundabouts
A roundabout will be incorporated into the street
design at the intersection of two local streets as
illustrated in Exhibit 10, “Master Circulation
Plan.” The use of a roundabout rather than a
conventional all-way stop at this intersection will
maintain traffic flow by requiring traffic entering
the roundabout to yield to traffic traveling within
the roundabout. The lack of a stop sign allows
entering traffic to merge with the flow of traffic.
5.1.4 Pedestrian Circulation
Off-street pedestrian circulation will be
available throughout Esperanza by means of
the interconnected, paved sidewalk system
within the roadway right-of-way, separated from
vehicular travel lanes by a landscaped parkway.
The Esperanza pedestrian system provides
connectivity among residential neighborhoods to
the Neighborhood Park and pocket parks within
the Specific Plan area.
5.1.5 Bicycle Trails
Bicycle trails are an integral element to creating
accessibility and mobility within Esperanza. A
Class 1 bike trail will be provided within the
parkway on the north side of Eucalyptus Avenue
and an on-street bike trail will be provided on
both sides of Eucalyptus Avenue connecting to
on-street bike trails provided on local residential
streets within the Specific Plan to connect all
residential neighborhoods to one another, and
to the Neighborhood Park located towards the
center of the Specific Plan boundary.
Class II on-street striped bike lanes shall be
provided on roadways within the Esperanza
Specific Plan area as determined by City
Engineer.
The Master Plan for pedestrian and bicycle
circulation for Esperanza is illustrated on Exhibit
21, “Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Plan.”
Private Drive Aisle

MasterPlan
Domestic water will be provided by the City
of Ontario. The Ontario Ranch Water Master
Plan Phase 1 (Phases 1a–1d) identifies new
water facilities to include one reservoir, three
groundwater wells and potable and reclaimed
transmission water lines. Construction of the
on site and off site Master Plan water service
improvements shall be the responsibility of the
developer(s) and is required prior to issuance
of building permits for Esperanza. Two of the
waterlines included in the Phase 1 improvements
are a 24 inch water line in Hamner Avenue,
adjacent to the site on the east, and a 24-inch
water main in Eucalyptus Avenue, which goes
through the center of the project.
5.2.1 Domestic Water
The project lies within the 925 Zone. New
domestic water mains to be constructed as part
of the development of Esperanza will include a
12-inch Master Plan water main in Mill Creek
Avenue, from the northerly boundary of the
Specific Plan to Eucalyptus Avenue. Within the
Specific Plan area, a network of 8-inch and 12’
inch water lines will be installed. The On Site
water system will include connections to two
different transmission mains.
The City is in the process of updating the Water
Master Plan. Any changes resulting from the
updated Master Plan will be incorporated into
the Esperanza Water Master Plan.
There are two groundwater wells located
adjacent to Bellegrave Avenue to the north.
These wells and water transmission lines in
Bellegrave Avenue, are owned and operated by
the Chino Basin Desalter Authority (CDA).
As part of the development of the Specific
Plan area, improvements shall be made, to the
satisfaction of the CDA and the City of Ontario,
surrounding the two existing well sites located
at the north side of the ultimate right of way
of Bellegrave Avenue. Improvements shall
include, but are not limited to, perimeter fencing,
relocation of existing utilities within the ultimate
right of way, street landscaping within the
right of way fronting the project, and driveway
approaches. The Master Plan for domestic

water mains are proposed to serve the
development. The City’s goal is to maximize the
use of recycled water including but not limited
to irrigation of parks, schools, street landscaping,
recreation trails, common area residential
landscaping and commercial/industrial
landscaping edges. The parks and landscaped
areas that will be irrigated with recycled water
and the calculated recycled water demand are
contained in the report titled, “Esperanza Water
and Recycled Water Hydraulic Analysis.” An
Engineer’s Report approved by the City and the
Department of Health is required prior to the
use of recycled water.
The conceptual Master Plan for recycled
water for Esperanza is illustrated on Exhibit
24, “Conceptual Recycled Water Plan.” The
conceptual on site recycled water system is
illustrated on Exhibit 25, “Conceptual On Site
Recycled Water System.”
5.3SewerMasterPlan
Sewer service for Esperanza will be provided by
the City of Ontario. The City’s Sewer Master
Plan identifies ultimate sewer facilities from
the Specific Plan area to the Eastern Trunk
Sewer. These Master Planned facilities include a
15inch sewer main extending from the northerly
boundary of the Specific Plan area, along Mill
Creek Avenue increasing to a 21-inch sewer
main at Eucalyptus Avenue and a 24-inch
sewer main along Bellegrave Avenue westerly
to the Master Planned Eastern Trunk Sewer.
Completion of these Master Plan improvements
is required to provide the ultimate sewer service
to Esperanza. Within the Specific Plan area
a network of 8-inch and 15-inch sewer lines
will be installed. The sizing and alignment of
all off site sewer improvements necessary for
mitigation of impacts shall follow the results of
the approved Sanitary Sewer Technical Study.
The Conceptual Sewer Master Plan for
Esperanza is illustrated on Exhibit 26, “Sewer
Master Plan.” The conceptual on site sewer lines
are illustrated on Exhibit 27, “Conceptual On
Site Sewer.”
5.4Drainage
The City’s Storm Drain Master Plan identifies
new storm drain facilities to serve the Specific
Plan area extending northerly from the County
Line Channel within Mill Creek Avenue.
Completion of these Master Plan improvements
will provide permanent storm drain service to
Esperanza.
That portion of the Master Planned line, which
lies within Esperanza, will be constructed as a
part of the development of the project. These
improvements include a 90-inch storm drain in
Mill Creek Avenue transitioning to a 102inch
storm drain, connecting to the County Line
Channel.
On site storm drains will be constructed
to convey the on site flows to the proposed
Master Planned storm drain line in Mill Creek
Avenue. The locations and size of on site storm
drains within Esperanza will be established in
accordance with City requirements as part of the
approval by the City of Ontario of tentative tract
maps for the Esperanza Specific Plan area.
The Drainage Master Plan for Esperanza is
illustrated in Exhibit 28, “Storm Drain Master
Plan.” The size and location of the proposed
storm drain may change based on the final
design.
5.4.1 NPDES Compliance
The grading and drainage of the Esperanza
Specific Plan area shall be designed to detain,
filter and treat surface runoff, in a manner and
combination which is practical, to comply
with the most recent requirements of the San
Bernardino County NPDES Storm Water
Program’s Quality Management (WQMP) for
significant new development projects. The
objective of the WQMP for this project is to
minimize the detrimental effects of urbanization
on the beneficial uses of receiving waters,
including effects caused by increased pollutants
and changes in hydrology. These effects may
be minimized through the implementation of
site designs that reduce runoff and pollutant
transport by minimizing impervious surfaces and
maximizing on-site infiltration, Source Control
Best Management Practices (BMP’s) and/or
either on-site Structural Treatment Control
BMP’s, or participation in regional or watershedbased Treatment Control BMP’s.
Prior to the issuance of a grading or construction
permit, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) will also be prepared. The SWPPP
will be prepared to comply with the California
State Water Resources Control Board’s (State
Water Board) current, “General Permit to
Discharge Storm Water Associated With
Construction Activity” and the current Area
Wide Urban Storm Water Runoff (Regional
NPDES Permit). The SWPPP will identify and
detail all appropriate Best Management Practices
(BMP’s) to be implemented or installed during
construction of the project.
In addition to the preparation of a SWPPP for
construction-related activities, and as part of
the approval of any grading plans within the
Specific Plan Area, the applicant will be required
to submit a Water Quality Management Plan
(WQMP) on the regional model form provided
by the City. The WQMP shall identify and
detail all Site Design BMP’s, Source Control
BMP’s and Treatment Control BMP’s to be
implemented or installed at this site in order to
reduce storm water pollutants and site runoff.
An off site regional stormwater runoff
treatment facility with capacity to accept and
treat drainage from portions of the Specific
Plan Area has been constructed. This regional
treatment facility will be part of an overall
solution for storm water treatment within
this planned development area. Projects with
reserved treatment capacity allocations sin the
regional facility will utilize this off-site facility
as their primary BMP for addressing urban
runoff water quality and hydro-modification
impacts, in their respective WQMPs. If a project
cannot obtain treatment capacity in the regional
stormwater treatment facility, alternative on-site
or off-site Low Impact Design BMBs will be
required based on the must current MS4 Permit
requirements.

The Mountain View School District is the
school district serving the K-8 school needs
of Esperanza. The Chaffey Joint Union High
School District serves the 9-12 school age needs
of the Specific Plan area. Additional elementary,
middle, and high schools are needed to serve the
needs of school age children within the Ontario
Ranch. An elementary school site has been
proposed within the Esperanza Specific Plan
and a middle school site has been proposed in
Planning Subarea 24. Colony High School is
located at the southwest intersection of Mill
Creek Avenue and Riverside Drive and a future
high school has been proposed in Planning
Subarea 23. Development of the Esperanza
Specific Plan area will generate an estimated
student population as follows (based on student
generation numbers supplied by the City of
Ontario, “School Generation for Ontario Ranch
Subareas,” July 2, 2004. The developer(s) of
Esperanza will be required to pay school fees as
required by State of California.
5.6PublicUtilities
5.6.1 Natural Gas
The Gas Company will provide natural gas to the
Specific Plan area. Gas mains will be installed
to the Specific Plan area by the Gas Company as
necessary.
5.6.2 Electricity
Southern California Edison will provide
electricity to the Specific Plan area from existing
facilities in the vicinity of the Specific Plan
area. Proposed new facilities to serve the project
will be owned and operated by the City of

within the Specific Plan area shall be placed
underground by developer and according to the
City of Ontario adopted ordinance.
5.6.3 Telecommunications
The City of Ontario will be providing
OntarioNet, fiber-to-the-home. OntarioNet is a
fiber-optic telecommunications system capable of
providing advanced Internet/data services to all
homes and businesses within the Ontario Ranch.
OntarioNet will provide community related
services including: traffic management; on-line
civic services; meter reading; educational services;
and a variety of other community services. Based
on the demographics of the Ontario Ranch and
the traffic issues into Orange and Los Angeles
Counties, the demand for telecommuting in the
Ontario Ranch is anticipated to be significant.
OntarioNet and the high-speed data services it
provides will allow residents of the Esperanza
Specific Plan to effectively telecommute to
their jobs and in general provide a significant
economic benefit to Ontario. Verizon currently
provides telephone service within the Specific
Plan area and can provide telecommunication
service if they choose to do so.

including Organics.
5.7GradingConcept
The site falls at an average slope of approximately
two percent (2%). The Grading Concept
for Esperanza is to work with the existing
topography to maintain natural grade and
elevations wherever possible. The grading
operation for the Specific Plan area will generally
consist of the removal of any manure remaining
from dairy operations, clearing and grubbing,
demolition of existing structures, and moving
of surface soils to construct building pads and
streets. Additionally, where slope conditions are
present, the property shall be located at the top
of the slope. In areas adjacent to a ridgeline
or in moderate slope areas, dwelling units and
structures should be sited to: • Use the natural ridgeline as a backdrop for structures;
• Use landscape plant materials as a backdrop;
and
• Use structure to maximize concealment of cut
slope.
If retaining walls are required, the following
criteria shall be used: • Exposed walls and fences facing roadways shall be no greater than 3-feet retaining (9-
foot total wall) in height, except as necessary
for acoustical purposes to satisfy the intent of
the noise ordinance.
• Where retaining walls or fences face
roadways, they shall be built, when feasible, of
decorative materials consistent with the wall
theme of the neighborhood.
The Conceptual Grading Plan, as illustrated in
Exhibit 29, “Conceptual Grading Plan,” will
provide for a balance of cut/fills for the site
Grading plans for each tract in the Specific Plan
area will be reviewed and approved by the City
of Ontario Building, Planning, and Engineering
Departments prior to the issuance of grading
permits. All grading plans and activities will
conform to the City grading ordinance and dust
and erosion control requirements.

6. Transfer of Dwelling Units -The Esperanza
Specific Plan allocates a total number of
units to each Planning Area as indicated in
the “Land Use Summary” Table 2, Section
4, of the Esperanza Specific Plan. Variations
in the number and type of dwelling units
within each residential Planning Area may
occur at the time of final design of the
neighborhood depending upon the residential
product identified for development. Changes
in allocation of residential units, up to a
maximum of fifteen percent (15%), are
permitted among the residential planning
areas within the Esperanza Specific Plan,
subject to approval by the City and upon
agreement of each respective property owner/
developer, provided the total number of units
established for the Esperanza Specific Plan
area is not exceeded.
7. Best Management Practices – Development
of storm water runoff improvements, within
the Esperanza Specific Plan, shall adhere
to currently adopted Best Management
Practices (BMP’s). The Site Design BMP’s
may include but not be limited to creating
landscape strips and landscaped setback areas
that can be swaled and depressed to retain
and infiltrate irrigation water and runoff
from smaller storm events, drain rooftops
into rain gutters which would drain into an
area of porous subgrade, and depressing the
park areas to provide storm water infiltration
and water quality treatment. Common area
landscaping and parks shall be designed to
function as a series of shallow storm water
treatment basins and infiltration zones for
storm water runoff from surrounding areas

8.1Introduction
On a sunny morning in the fall of 1882, George
Chaffey stands on a mesa between the floodwater
washes of Cucamonga Canyon to the east and
San Antonio Canyon on the west, gazing at the
country directly in front of him lying at the foot
of snow-capped Old Baldy, beneath the Sierra
Madre Mountain Range. Having little capital,
George would rely on his powers of leadership
and vision and, at that moment, would throw
his heart and soul into the new colonizing
movement sweeping Southern California. With
help of his brother William and surveyor J. C.
Dunlap, he would purchase 6,218 acres and
design what would become the “City of Ontario,”
named after his former home in Ontario,
Canada. His vision of a model colony featured
the first reclamation irrigation system, abundant
electricity power and a beautiful parkway that
captured the imagination and interest of people
throughout the world. His vision was one of
hope for a great community. “Esperanza,” which
means “hope” in Spanish and accurately describes
the original vision intended for the “new”
Ontario.
Ontario is a thriving city today, although the
orchards and packing houses have since given
way to new landmarks such as Ontario Mills,
Ontario Convention Center and Ontario
International Airport. Hundreds of new
businesses have discovered that Ontario is “The
Gateway” to Southern California, conveniently
located 35 miles east of Los Angeles, and easily
accessible to I-10, I-15 and I-60 freeways.
Ontario spans nearly 28,000 square miles,
with a population of over 168,000, and is one
of Southern California’s fastest growing cities.
Ontario’s sun-belt mild weather and 312 days
of sunshine, allows you to enjoy the many
parks as well as the nearby mountains, beaches,
and deserts. The world-class Empire Lakes
Golf Course, designed by Arnold Palmer, will
challenge the avid golfer. The wine aficionados
will love sampling California’s finest at Galleano
Winery, Joseph Filippi Winery, and Vineyards.
8.2Design Guidelines for
Architectura
lCharacter
Architectural design should provide for high
quality neighborhoods. • Residential project design should consider the total context of the site with the incorporation
of appropriate scale and proportions of
building massing and details.
• The use of transitional spaces between
common and private areas such as entry
courtyards, private patios, low walls, and
porches is encouraged.
• The variation of both front and rear building
setbacks should be implemented to create
visual variety.
• The variation of garage placement on adjacent
lots is encouraged to provide a more diverse
street scene.
• Residential structures should be varied in
massing and articulation to provide visual
interest.
2079
Section 8.
Design GGuiddelines Section 8. Design GGuiddelines
8.2 8.3
Neighborhoods should be sustained over time. • Architectural design themes should reflect historic Southern California styles.
• The use of natural indigenous building
materials and colors is encouraged.
• Structures should incorporate genuine
architectural details and decorative features.
• Architectural design should relate to human
scale.
• The location of doors and windows should
consider indoor/outdoor relationships to
create intimate and secure spaces.
• Architectural designs should create a cohesive
community without dominating the overall
street scene.
Building design should be sensitive to climatic
conditions and context. • Building elevations should consider sun orientation by including shaded and sheltered
areas.
• Variation of architectural designs should
include methods of protection from inclement
weather.
• Residential structures should be compatible
with, and responsive to, the environmental
setting.
• Building designs should incorporate spaces
that encourage outdoor use to take advantage
of temperate climatic conditions.
Architectural design should incorporate
materials and techniques that are cost effective. • The use of building materials should reflect the implementation of efficient construction
methods.
• Building elevations should include compatible
window and doors sizes that create a
consistent design theme.
• Construction techniques should incorporate
the use of standard components and
dimensions.
Varied floor plans and elevations in single-family
detached residential architectural packages
should be incorporated as follows:
Reverse elevations and floor plans are considered
as a separate elevation and floor plan. Reverse
floor plans and elevations are considered as a
separate floor plan and/or elevation for purposes
of implementing the table below.
Diversity is a fundamental guiding principle at
Esperanza. This ensures that neighborhoods are
varied and that blanket uniformity is avoided.
Builders are required to produce a minimum of
two styles for a 3-plan design program, and three
styles for a 4-plan or more design program.

8.3ArchitecturalContext
The original model colony of Ontario has a
rich agricultural legacy of farming including
citrus orchards, grape vineyards and alfalfa
fields. Typical of Southern California farming
communities, Ontario has a variety of traditional
architectural styles. Western European and
East Coast architectural details and forms
were incorporated into the farm houses and
local styles evolved from Country French
and Tuscan styles and new interpretations of
Monterey, Traditional, Craftsman and Ranch
styles were erected. Architectural styles,
elements and massing were reinvented utilizing
available indigenous building materials. Plan
designs and elements such as window sizes
and proportions were modified to address local
climatic conditions which were warmer and drier.
Materials were plaster, stucco and siding with
brick, stone or other masonry accent materials.
The sunny Southern California climate allowed
year round use of outdoor spaces and inspired
covered porches and balconies.
Southern California was also influenced by
Spanish architectural styles brought to the region
by Spanish settlers and missionaries. These
homes were well suited for the temperate climate
of Southern California. The architectural theme
for Esperanza is based upon these historical
styles found in Ontario and the architectural
styles have been selected in order to be reflective
of older neighborhoods of historic Ontario.
Each architectural style outlined in these
guidelines should be detailed with elements
that represent the authentic character of that
particular style.
Together the styles should be designed to create
a neighborhood character that will be sustainable
over time. Each home should contribute to the
architectural character of the neighborhood.
Design elements such as porches, recessed
windows, architectural details and accents,
alternate garage configurations / orientations,
covered balconies, and articulated elevations are
encouraged to enhance individual homes and to
promote the overall neighborhood character.
8.3.1 Residential Design
Objectives
• Interpret architectural styles that are authentic
and reflect the historical character of the
region.
• Emphasize styles of architecture that are
compatible, yet vary enough to create interest
and diversity.
• Create visually interesting neighborhood
streets by varying elevation and floor plan
plotting.
• Utilize authentic materials and colors that
reinforce the overall design theme.
• Emphasize front elevations that relate
strongly to the street and contribute to the
livability of that realm.
• Provide alternative garage configurations.
The Esperanza Design Guidelines are to be
used as a tool to ensure the character and design
quality anticipated for the Community. The
Guidelines express objectives and approaches
rather than formulas and standards, allowing
certain architectural creativity and flexibility. The
images and sketches illustrated in the Guidelines
are intended to be conceptual in nature and are
to be used as general visual aids in understanding
the basic architectural design intent of
Esperanza. They are not meant to depict specific
floor plans or architectural elevations.

Section 8.
Design GGuiddelines Section 8. Design GGuiddelines
8.4 8.5
These Guidelines are organized into the
following sections: • Architectural Styles • Massing Principles • Materials & Detailing • Home Types • Landscape Design
8.3.2 Architectural Styles
The architectural character within each
neighborhood shall consist of complementary
traditional architectural styles. The materials and
colors of these home styles shall complement the
overall neighborhood design.
Architectural styles within each neighborhood
and product area within each neighborhood
should be compatible with one another and
blend with the character of each neighborhood.
Within cluster court style residential products,
a consistent architectural style shall be used
throughout the individual cluster.
Acceptable architectural styles within Esperanza
include: • Country French • Tuscany • Monterey • Spanish Colonial • Craftsman • Traditional • Western Ranch The styles selected share similar design attributes
and have been selected in response to the
following considerations: • They have a historic relevance to the region. • They are compatible and complementary. • They can be interpreted in a variety of ways. • They are generally accepted by the market. • They can be constructed using current building materials and methods.
Note: Additional styles proposed by the homebuilder
must be submitted to, and approved by, the City
of Ontario. Builders may submit home designs
using alternative architectural styles that
meet the design objectives of the specific plan,
provided they are appropriate to the region and
compatible with the character of Esperanza.
8.3.2.1 Country French
History and Character:
French Country architectural style is based
upon early American interpretations of French
Medieval architecture that made their way across
the United States from the Mississippi regions
around the turn of the century. Usually taking
the form of larger manor homes and estates,
this architectural style was adapted to fit smaller
rural homes. The French Country style conveys a
romantic and picturesque architecture. American
interpretations include houses with simple forms
with steeply-pitched roofs.
Massing: • Simple massing with asymmetrical forms and
gable roofs.
General Materials: • Stucco finished walls. • Deep recessed accents. • Vertical windows. • Simple detailing. • Stucco or masonry chimneys. • Decorative chimney caps. • Carriage garage doors or roll-up doors with a variety of panel patterns to reflect

turn of the 20th Century in Southern California
as an interpretation of the picturesque movement
in art where the architecture was less formalized
and more responsive to the natural environs.
Arranged building forms of predominantly
stucco and stone with tile roofs reflecting the
architectural styles of Northern Italy took root in
informal plan arrangements and massing.

8.3.2.3 Monterey
History and Character:
The Monterey style is a combination of Spanish
construction methods and the basic two-story
Eastern Colonial house. The wooden second
story enabled single story Spanish Adobe homes
to be developed as two story homes. Cantilevered
balcony elements defined the front of the house
which originally used adobe wall construction.
Exposed rafters, gable or hipped roof, simple
wood posts and side chimneys that anchor one
end of the house, accompany the balcony as
Monterey design elements.
Massing: • Simple, straightforward rectangular or “L”
shaped building forms.
• Cantilevered balcony and covered colonnades.

8.4MassingPrinciples
This section provides suggestions for creating
neighborhoods and street scenes that have a
variety of building forms that are proportionate
to a human-scale and inviting to the pedestrian.
General Elements:
The general elements of building massing
include: • Front Articulation. • Rear Articulation. • Garage Placement. • Roof Form. • Balconies and Projections. • Building Offsets/Variable Setbacks.
Objectives: • Incorporate single-story elements. • Avoid large flat two-story walls. • Minimize two-story dominance on street scene, sidewalks and open spaces.
• Vary building setbacks along the street. • Minimize visual impact of garages.
8.4.1 Front Articulation
Intent:
The front elevation of the home is an important
element in creating a quality community at
Esperanza. Close attention will be placed on the
elevations and how they address the streetscene.
Emphasis on location and entry designs, living
areas and garages will provide a special street
appeal. Emphasis on a variety of building
massing will create a diverse street scene.
Guidelines: • Building massing should reflect the
architectural style.
• Massing elements should project enough to
avoid elevations that appear to be “tacked on.”
• Building details such as doors and windows
should be in proportion to the overall
massing.
• Building form is encouraged to reflect the
interior uses of the home.
• Front elevations for two-story homes should
incorporate a single-story element.
• Recessed two-story elements should create
human-scale buildings.
• All homes should have at least two plane
variations (excluding the garage) in front
elevation massing.
8.4.2 Rear Articulation
Intent:
Special attention shall be given to the design of
those dwellings adjacent to, or in close proximity
of, major community roadways, common
areas, open spaces, or entry features. Whether
viewed from distant or close range, massing
requirements will be implemented to ensure
positive community character in these conditions.
Generally, repetitious elements such as similar
building profiles and continuous gable ends are
to be avoided.
Guidelines: • Architectural massing and articulation should be consistent with the style of the home.
• Plans shall incorporate projections and/or
offsets that extend from the main wall lane.
• Vertical and horizontal plane breaks are
encouraged.
• Homes directly adjacent to arterial roadways,
collector roads, entry drives, common
areas, and open spaces should be given
particular attention in their rear articulation,
contributing positively to these edges.
8.5GaragePlacement
Intent:
The configuration, location and orientation of the
garage on the lot are integral design elements,
both for the composition of the home and its
contribution to the streetscene. Deemphasizing
the garage is important in order to maintain
the overall community design. Emphasizing the
living areas of the home as they address the street
will achieve this goal.
Placing living areas forward promotes social
interaction and facilitates ‘eyes on the street’ for
neighborhood security, while at the same time
establishing neighborhood orientation to the
pedestrian instead of the automobile.
Guidelines: • Garage door patterns should vary among
elevation types and reinforce the architectural
theme of the home.
• Standard 3-car garage configurations are
discouraged.
8.5.1 Garage Treatments
The home and the yard rather than the garage
must be the primary emphasis of the elevation as
seen from the street. Each plan shall incorporate
one of the garage design techniques listed below
and each parcel shall include at least two of these
techniques to reduce the emphasis on the garage;
and therefore, enhance the variable massing of
the streetscene.
8.5.1.1 Shallow Recessed Garages
Setting the garage back a minimum of three feet
in relationship to the front of the house/ or porch
is intended to reduce the overall visual mass of
the garage. The number of homes with shallow
recess garage configurations shall be limited to
25% of the total number of units in each builder
package.
8.5.1.2 Mid or Deep Recessed
Garages
Setting the garage back to the middle or rear
of the lot. This design treatment is intended to
expose more living space areas toward the street,
further reducing the visual impact of the garage
along the street.
8.5.1.3 Alley Loaded
The use of the alleyways locates garages off a
main loop road and creates a more traditional
streetscene, with the fronts of the houses facing
the street.
8.5.1.4 Split Garage
This treatment de-emphasizes the garage by
reducing the length of the continuous door.
Typically a one car garage and a one or two car
garage are split to provide a variation in the
appearance of the home. The single car garage
elements in this split condition may option into
living space that further enhances the streetscene
by replacing the garage door with windows.
8.5.1.5 Tandem Garage
This garage layout de-emphasizes the third
garage by concealing it behind a standard twocar garage condition. The tandem space is located so that it may option into living space. The two
car garage is typically either shallow or deeply
recessed into the lot and incorporated into the
architecture of the home.
8.5.1.6 Setbacks
A varied setback is encouraged along the street
frontage. Refrain from strict compliance to the
minimum garage setback so as not to contribute
to a repetitious and monotonous appearance
along the street.
Where garages are adjacent to one another at
common property lines, a two-foot minimum
difference in setbacks shall occur.

8.20 8.21
8.6Accessory Structures
Intent:
Accessory structures should be designed to
reinforce the architectural style of the primary
residence.
Guidelines: • Detached structures, such as casitas, pool cabanas and guest quarters associated with
the single-family lot shall be designed to
match the style, detail, roof material/pitch and
massing criteria of the primary home.
• Detached garages, storage buildings and
outdoor sheds should incorporate design
features, materials and colors compatible with
the primary home.
8.7RoofForm/Pitch
Intent: • Roof form is another important design
element as it relates to the character of the
community, observed from both the external
edges and inside the neighborhood.
• Variety of roof form along streets creates a
positive visual edge.
• Appropriate massing of roof forms helps to
create human scale architecture to the street.
Guidelines: • Roof forms/pitch should reinforce the
architectural style of the homes.
• Roofs shall be composed of a series of simple
roof forms.
• Primary roof forms should be gable or hip
designs.
• Roofs shall vary in massing along street scene
and open spaces.

dwelling, balconies and projections provide
relief and interest at the second story. Balcony
projections shall be consistent with the
architectural character of the home. Additionally,
these elements create ideal outdoor spaces.
8.9BuildingOffsets/
Variab
le Setbacks
Intent:
Quality neighborhood design orients the
‘living’ areas of the home towards the street. To
encourage this orientation, alternative setbacks
are allowed for living areas as measured from the
back of walk.
The development standards for each planning
area/home type including building setbacks
are established by the Esperanza Specific Plan.
Additionally, building offsets or variable setbacks
for both living and garages are encouraged to
create variety in street scenes.

proportionate to the housing type and lot size.
• Front setback should be varied along the
street. A front offset of a minimum of two
feet (2’) is encouraged between the front walls
of adjacent homes.
• Edge conditions such as homes backing to
collector roads and back-to-back homes
should incorporate variable rear setbacks to
create variety.
8.10Materials andDetails

Land
scapeArchitectural
Character
Careful consideration has been given to the
design of the community landscape architectural
character for the Ontario Esperanza Specific
Plan. The following design guidelines are
organized to help define the basic landscape
design principles for the Ontario Esperanza
Specific Plan. Observing these guidelines will
help to assure the “design vision” and integrity of
this planned community.
All landscape plans, streetscape plans, and
graphic designs with regard to community
identity, neighborhood identity, or entry
monumentation shall conform to the guidelines
as set forth herein, and shall be subject to review
and approval by the City of Ontario.
The “Conceptual Landscape Master Plan,”
Exhibit 30 on the next page shows the perimeter
streetscape design, Community entries and
monumentation, neighborhood park and
mini parks, pedestrian greenbelts, and general
landscape features of the Ontario Esperanza
Specific Plan area.
8.12.1 Perimeter Streetscape
Design
Streetscape design guidelines establish a
hierarchy for the landscape development along
the surrounding roadways, as well as establishing
a framework for consistency of design. Three
major arterial roadways surround the Ontario
Esperanza Specific Plan area: Hamner Avenue
to the West, Bellegrave Avenue to the North,
and Mill Creek Avenue to the East. Landscape
easements associated with these roadways have
been defined, as noted in the City of Ontario
Ontario Ranch General Plan.
Landscape development surrounding this
community will help to set the character, while
maintaining consistency with the City of
Ontario’s pedestrian pathway system illustrated
in the Trails and Bikeways section of the Ontario
Ranch General Plan. The following section
discusses the streetscapes for the Esperanza
Specific Plan area. Exhibit 31, “Streetscapes
Legend” provides a guide to the location of the
streetscapes discussed below.
8.12.2 Hamner Avenue

following: • A landscaped parkway (15' wide min.) with a row of street trees (24” Box min.) along both
sides of the street.
• A 5’ wide sidewalk along west side of the
street.
• A 14’ wide landscaped median with a single
row of street trees.
• A landscape easement (neighborhood edge)
of 45’ taken from face of curb to perimeter

8.12.5 Interior Streetscape Design
Streetscape design within the interior of the
Ontario Esperanza Specific Plan community
shall be consistent in character with the
perimeter streetscapes and should help to
promote pedestrian circulation into the
“Community Core.”
Where interior streetscapes interface with
neighborhood/mini parks and open space, special
consideration should be taken to integrate
pedestrian circulation into these areas via a
streetside pedestrian system that links city
sidewalks to active walking trails and open space
uses. This is especially important within the
multi-family/high density residential planning
areas.
Two interior roadways bring residents into the
“Community Core,” Eucalyptus Avenue, running
East/West, and “Street A” that intersects with
Eucalyptus Avenue, running North/South.

8.13 City of Ontario
“Gateway” Monument
At the corner of Hamner Avenue and Bellegrave
Avenue, a city “Gateway” monument will be
located. Special consideration should be made
to integrate the perimeter landscaping along
Hamner and Bellegrave Avenue into the final
monument design and landscape character. The
City of Ontario is currently developing the
“Gateway” monument program for the Ontario
Ranch. Additional coordination with the City of
Ontario will be needed prior to developing this
area.
8.14 Entries and
Monumentation
Monumentation occurs throughout the Ontario
Esperanza Specific Plan community and is
designed to establish a basic hierarchy for
entering each area of the community. Along the
perimeter edges there are several entry points
into the community. At key entries a landscape
and monumentation program will be utilized to
help identify the community as well as convey
a “welcoming” feeling for both vehicular and
pedestrian traffic. Inspired by the local historical
village of “Guasti,” home of the Italian Vineyard
Company, the project monuments for Ontario
Esperanza embody some of the character of
this Ontario icon, through the use of similar
materials, architectural styles/detailing and
landscaping.
Three basic monument treatments are
used to set the hierarchy of the entries and
monumentation: the Primary Community
Entry and Monumentation, the Secondary
Community Entry and Monumentation, and the
Neighborhood Entry and Monumentation.

8.16CommunityWalls
andFencing
Walls are a major component in achieving an
overall community theme within the Ontario
Esperanza Specific Plan. A strong cohesive
appearance is achieved through the use of
“community walls” and general overall wall
guidelines as illustrated in Exhibit 52, “Master
Walls and Fence Plan” and Exhibit 53, “Wall and
Fence Details.”
All walls that adjoin community street scenes
(major streetscapes identified under Perimeter/
Interior Streetscapes) shall be deemed
“community walls.” All wall and fencing designs
and layout shall be approved by the City of
Ontario prior to construction.
8.16.1 Community Walls
Community walls shall be decorative in nature.
Community walls shall incorporate the use of
pilasters of a design consistent with the materials
of the community walls. The location and
spacing of pilasters shall be subject to Planning
Department review and approval.
8.16.2 Solid Walls and Fencing
Solid walls shall be decorative. The use of vinyl
fencing and wood fencing is prohibited. Reverse
frontage walls and any wall return that is visible
from public view, shall be constructed of splitface block or precision block that is veneered, burnished (using color other than common gray),
plastered or stuccoed, and should complement
color scheme dictated in Ontario Esperanza
Specific Plan color palette. Decorative caps and
the use of pilasters to help enhance the perimeter
appeal of the walls are encouraged. Walls visible
from the community streets may not be made of
exposed or painted precision block or slumped
block.
8.16.3 View Fencing
If applicable, view fences should be located in the
rear yards of those properties abutting large slope
areas where the adjacent property is a minimum
of 15’ above/below the house pad. These fences
allow open views but not physical access; they
shall be 5’-6” high and made of tubular steel
or lexan glass panel construction. Areas where
view fencing occurs will be subject to review by
the City of Ontario. The use of tubular steel
view fencing shall incorporate pilasters utilizing
materials consistent with adjacent walls.

8.17Outdoor Lighting
Lighting standards within the Ontario
Esperanza community shall be consistent in
style, color, and materials in order to maintain
uniformity throughout. Lighting should be
subtle, providing a soft wash of light over
illuminated objects such as monumentation.
Hierarchy shall be established by using a variety
of lighting fixtures and illumination levels based
off of lighting design intent. Lighting styles shall
tie into architectural styles and provide sufficient
illumination for the safety and well being of
the community. Preservation of “Night-Sky”
should be considered in lighting design layout
and fixture selection. Use of “cutoff ” or louvered
lamps to preserve ambiance of “Night-Sky” is
highly encouraged. Fixture locations should be
designed so that light source is not visible by
pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Frosted, louvered,
or prismatic lens should be considered where
decorative lighting fixtures are visible and part of
the aesthetic lighting program. Accent lighting
of landscape and monumentation shall be
incorporated into the following areas:
8.17.1 Entry Monument Lighting:
Avoid intensely bright or “hot” lighting of
monuments; rather, each should be lit to provide
a soft wash of light across the monument
signage. Specimen trees should be up-lit with
several fixtures into the canopy to avoid creating
dark sides of the trees.
8.17.2 Neighborhood Park/ Mini
Parks/ Walkway Lighting
Lighting of the walkways, tot lots, restroom
facility, and parking areas within the Parks should
be considered for safety and security. All planned
parking areas shall have a minimum maintained
lighting level of one-foot candle (1 F.C.) or
greater. The lighting shall be from sunset to
sunrise and be operated by a photocell. The site
plan shall be provided to the Police Department.
It shall show all buildings, parking areas,
walkways, detailed landscape areas and point-bypoint photometry calculation of required light levels. Utilization of a traditional Globe/Acorn
Post mounted light fixture should be considered
for both the park open space areas as well as
interior street lighting fixtures. Keeping with
the character of traditional materials, (like those
found in the “Model Colony” in Downtown
Ontario) this will help to create a better sense of
scale to the pedestrian. Fixtures shall be vandal
resistant, not less than (8) eight feet from ground
level. Luminaries of not less than (42”) may
be utilized to illuminate a walkway if adjacent
landscaping is of a variety which does not mature
higher than (2) two feet.
8.18LandscapeDesign
8.18.1 Public Landscapes • Landscape plantings in public areas should reflect a commitment to both developing a
“sense of place” and maintaining harmony
with the Ontario Ranch.
• Community Facilities District (CFD) areas
shall be separated with a 6” by 6” concrete
mow strip when adjacent to private property.
• A landscape architect licensed in California
shall be retained to prepare planting
and irrigation plans for all public areas.
Arrangement of plants should incorporate the
concepts of mass planting; plants should be
placed to allow them to grow to their natural
sizes and forms, and sheared hedges should be
kept to a minimum.
The plant matrix at the end of this section offers
a suggested plant palette for Ontario Esperanza;
while it is by no means all-inclusive, plantings
in public areas should draw primarily from this
palette for visual community continuity.
8.18.2 Front Yard Landscapes
Plantings in front yards may vary substantially
from the Ontario Esperanza palette, but should
retain some of the character and style of the
public plantings. No more than 25% of the
total square footage of any front yard shall be
lawn Turf shall not exceed 25% of the landscape
area in residential front yards; the balance shall
be composed of shrubs and groundcovers, with
an emphasis on drought tolerant plant species.
No more than 55% 45% of the front yard area
shall be hardscape. Turf areas shall be sized and
shaped to optimize irrigation efficiency. If turf
is used in isolated areas such as driveway strips,
subsurface irrigation or microspray heads shall
be required to avoid overspraying of these areas.
Irregular shapes that cannot be irrigated should
be avoided. • Each single-family lot shall be provided with front yard landscaping and a permanent
automatic irrigation system. At a minimum, a
seeded turf lawn, appropriate shrubs and trees
shall be provided as landscaping materials.
A variety of typical landscape designs shall
be provided for use on each lot within the
subdivision.
• Multiple family residential product areas shall
be provided with full landscape improvements
throughout the development. At a
minimum, a seeded turf lawn, appropriate
shrubs and trees, and a permanent irrigation
system shall be provided.
• Landscape and irrigation drawings for
each development shall be submitted in
conjunction with house construction plans.
The plans shall be approved by the Planning
Department and the Landscape Planning
Division prior to the issuance of building
permits.
• Areas of a lot or site which are not used for
drive entries, parking, or approved outdoor
uses shall be fully landscaped; all unpaved
areas shall be landscaped; and all future
development phase areas shall be hydroseeded.
8.18.3 Soil Testing
Soil samples shall be taken from several locations
after the completion of rough grading operations,
and a reputable soil-testing laboratory shall
perform an agronomic soils test. The test
shall assess soil fertility needs for water-wise
California native and Mediterranean plant
types. No planting shall take place until the
soil has been properly prepared based on the
recommendations of the soils testing laboratory.
Organic soils amendments shall be incorporated
as necessary to achieve a recommended
percolation rate of one inch per hour.

8.18.4 Slope Landscaping
All manufactured and cut/fill slopes which
exceed 3’ in height shall be planted with an
effective mixture of groundcover, shrubs, trees,
and include jute matting. Such slopes shall also
be irrigated as necessary to ensure germination
and establishment. Landscape slopes shall not
exceed 3:1 or greater and shall include the
installation of jute matting. Where 2:1 landscape
slopes are unavoidable, erosion blankets shall be
installed with a 3-year durability.
8.18.5 Interior Slopes:
Residential Interior
• Interior slopes may be more ornamental in
character than exterior slopes. They may have
a somewhat broader range of plant materials
than exterior slopes, but should still be chosen
primarily from the Ontario Esperanza plant
palette and are subject to the same fuel
modification restrictions.
• All manufactured and cut/fill slopes which
exceed 3’ in height shall be planted with an
effective mixture of groundcover, shrubs,
and trees. Such slopes shall also be irrigated
as necessary to ensure germination and
establishment.
8.18.6 Streetscape Landscaping
Streetscape Development Standards • Turf grass shall only be used in areas with street side parking and shall be located
adjacent to the sidewalk or curb line. is only
permitted within streetscapes where streetside
parking is identified and recycled water is
available.
• All new plantings within the Ontario
Esperanza planned community shall draw
substantially from the Ontario Esperanza
Plant List included in this document.
• All streetscape landscaping within the
Ontario Esperanza planned community
will be implemented by the Developer in
accordance with this Specific Plan.
• The Developer shall install all primary and
secondary improvements concurrently with
the construction of the roadway on which
they front. Neighborhood intersections shall
be constructed as each neighborhood street is
built.
• The Developer shall provide site inspection
of all construction and installation of entries
and intersections in accordance the City of
Ontario requirements.
8.18.7 Irrigation Design
Irrigation for both public and private landscapes
should be designed to be as water-efficient
as possible. All irrigation systems shall have
automatic controllers designed to properly water
plant materials given the site’s soil conditions,
and irrigation systems for all public landscapes
shall have automatic rain shut-off devices. Drip
irrigation is not permitted with CFD landscape
areas. Spray systems shall have low volume
(gpm) matched-precipitation heads. All CFD
areas are to be controlled with a central control
irrigation system and all trees are to be irrigated
utilizing a flush grade bubbler system on a
separate valve. All CFD areas shall be designed
to City Standard Specifications.
