B.4. Planning Area 3/3A – Urban Commercial/
Mixed Use
LAND USE CATEGORY: Urban Commercial / Mixed UseACREAGE: 25.3 acres BUILDING INTENSITY: 480,000 530,000 s.f.
Planning Area 3 is comprised of 25.3 acres of land located in the southeastern portion of the Specific Plan property. Planning Area 3/3Ais bordered on the north by Inland Empire Boulevard, on the south by Interstate 10, on the west by the Deer Creek Channel, and on the east by North Archibald Avenue. Refer to Figure 2-5, Planning Area 3/3A. Designed to complement the uses of Planning Area 2 also positioned along Interstate 10, Planning Area 3 has good visibility to passing motorists and access to the North Archibald Avenue on- and off- ramps. Planning Area 3 is designed to accommodate Urban Commercial land uses and, in concert with Planning Area 2, form an attractive visual gateway into MEREDITH INTERNATIONAL CENTRE. Like Planning Area 2, the Urban Commercial and Mixed Use designation of Planning Area 3/3A allows for a range of commercial uses that benefit from adjacency to Interstate 10 and approximately ½-mile distance to the Ontario International Airport. Located closer to MEREDITH INTERNATIONAL CENTRE’s Urban Residential area (Planning Area 4), and potential alignment of the Gold Line LRT corridor, Planning Area 3
STATISTICS VISION
is afforded a greater opportunity than Planning Area 2 to offer smaller, pedestrian-oriented retail establishments. Four hundred (400) overnight lodging rooms are permitted in Planning Area3/3A with the intention of serving the surrounding communityand region, such as visitors to the nearby Ontario ConventionCenter and Ontario International Airport. Alternatively, the MixedUse Overlay will allow for up to 50,000 square feet ofcommercial/retail uses and up to 1,400 multi-family dwellingunits subject to the Land Use Matrix. The Mixed Use Overlay isintended to create parameters for future development that aredistinguished and high quality, providing opportunities for highend dining, retail, and resort-style residential living. The proposedamendment will further support the Specific Plan’s objective tocreate an urban environment where businesses can locate andthrive and where multiple-family housing opportunities arewithin walking distance to restaurants, goods and services, and tobecome a regional draw to take advantage of the site locationnear regional transportation corridors.Refer to Section 5, Development Standards, for a list of permitteduses and additional information. Vehicular access into Planning Area 3/3A is provided via Inland Empire Boulevard. No direct driveway access into the planning area is permitted from North Archibald Avenue. 6486

SUBJECT: TECHNOLOGICAL DISRUPTION POLICY
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
June 16, 2026
SECTION:
ADMINISTRATIVE
REPORTS/DISCUSSION/ACTION
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt a policy addressing technological disruption at Council meetings, in compliance with Senate Bill 707.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT: This policy does not have a direct fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The Ralph M. Brown Act imposes open meeting requirements on local legislative bodies. In 2025, the Legislature adopted Senate Bill 707, which reorganizes, clarifies, and updates various Brown Act provisions, including those governing teleconferencing, remote public participation, and meeting procedures.
A key aspect of SB 707 is that eligible legislative bodies are required, on or before July 1, 2026, to adopt a policy governing disruption of telephonic and internet service for remote participants.
SB 707 sets specific requirements that must be contained within that policy. It must contain procedures for recessing and reconvening a meeting in the event of disruption. It must also specify the efforts that the eligible legislative body shall make to attempt to restore the service for persons participating remotely in the meeting. The proposed Technological Disruption Policy establishes procedures for responding to interruptions in remote meeting access, including temporary recess procedures, restoration efforts, reconvening requirements, and documentation standards.
Adoption of the policy ensures the City remains compliant with State law while preserving transparency and public participation during public meetings.
The proposed Technological Disruption Policy establishes procedures consistent with Government Code Section 54953.4. The policy provides a framework for maintaining public transparency while allowing meetings to continue in situations where technological interruptions occur despite good faith restoration efforts.

CITY OF ONTARIO:
TECHNOLOGICAL DISRUPTION POLICY
1. Background
1.1. Senate Bill 707 (2025) amended the Brown Act to require eligible legislative bodies to adopt, on or before July 1, 2026, a policy addressing how the agency will respond to disruptions in telephonic or internet service that prevent members of the public from participating remotely.
2.1. This policy establishes procedures for responding to a disruption in the telephonic or internet services that provide two-way remote public access to meetings of the City Council of the City of Ontario, as required by the Brown Act (Government Code section 54953.4). The policy ensures transparency, public participation, and the continuation of meetings during technological disruptions.
3. Definitions
3.1. “Service Disruption” means any failure, outage, or other interruption to the City’s remote access services that prevents members of the public from participating in a City Council meeting through the remote access service.

3.3. A failure to comply with reasonable and lawful regulations adopted by the City Council of the City of Ontario
3.4. Engaging in behavior that constitutes use of force or a true threat of force.
3.5. “Remote access services” means the two-way telephonic service and/or two-way audiovisual platform used to provide real-time remote public attendance and observation of meetings.
3.6. “Two-way audiovisual platform” means an online platform that provides participants with the ability to participate in a meeting via both an interactive video conference and a two-way telephonic service.
3.7. “Two-way telephonic service” means a telephone service that does not require internet access and allows participants to dial a telephone number to listen and verbally participate.
3.8. “True threat of force” means a threat that has sufficient indicia of intent and seriousness, that a reasonable observer would perceive it to be an actual threat to use force by the person making the threat.
4. Applicability

5.2. If adequate telephonic or internet service is not operational at the meeting location, the City Council shall not be required to provide remote access.
