1. EDC-22-490 Traffic Impact Analysis - Draft VMT and LOS Guidelines (SB743) Justin ??? gave presentation
Committee Comments/Questions/Recommendations
Mayor Robertson asked for a previous contract regarding a study made by a consultant.
She said this keeps coming back , and it’s more away from what it was. How would they track people’s mileage if they have to drive further to work? Moreover, how do we pass SEQA? not everybody from this community can work from home. She said we let a contract out. Mayor Pro Tem asked Justin for information on his contract. Justin said his contract is not directly related; they have a consultant. Mayor Robertson said they asked for truck traffic data, eliminate truck routes, and ADT; this is a mix item. Marcus said, it’s all related; the good news is that they didn’t prevent; most cities are still using level of service as mitigation measurements.
Mayor Pro Tem asked if this is going to have any cost s. Marcus said this will incentivize and make it easy for denser projects in urban areas. Mayor Robertson said this is creating more density. Mayor Pro Tem said this will also encourage people not to leave their homes and to only own one vehicle.
Mayor Robertson asked if adopting the guidelines is mandated by State – they told her yes. Mayor Pro Tem, what’s the answer when people just aren’t going to live that way.
Justin said a project can be exempt from VMT where the new rules don’t apply. However, City rules still have to be imposed but not under SEQA. The City can apply level service standards. These services are similar from the services adopted by the City; if we use these tools, we can manage traffic. Regarding the VMT, they have 2 options; we screen out the project or require other measures, such an environmental impact report.
Mayor Pro Tem d id not support Justin suggestions, he thinks those measurements are not going to change the way people are going to live due to the overpopulation in the City.
Mayor Robertson said it’s time to do something before the State tell us we don’t qualify.
She said many communities don’t understand City’s limitations in terms of housing. Mayor Robertson asked when we should adapt this measure. Marcus said, it was due back in 2018.
Mayor Robertson asked if they know how these guidelines apply to CEQA. Justin said SBCTA created a model guideline that other agencies are adopting, such the County.
They said, this will bring the City’s specific guidelines up to date. Mayor Robertson wants to know how we are addressing logistics and industrial areas. Justin said heavy vehicles are regulated separately. Moreover, according to the guidelines, they are excluded. Justin explained some of the regulations for industrial vehicles.
Mayor Robertson asked if there is a specific plan past Casmalia.
This gets sent to City Council.
5 2. Citywide Truck Route, Speed and Volume Studies
John Gerado gave presentation
Committee Comments/Recommendations
Mayor Robertson and Mayor Pro Tem asked about community outreach.
Mayor Pro Tem asked John for the number of people who responded to the public survey posted on social media and Rialto website . John said, between 50 -80 people. Mayor Robertson asked if they did the public survey through Rialto Progress magazine. John said no.
Marcus said they are enforcing trucks to use any street in the City that is the most direct route as long as they are conducting logistics businesses in Rialto. Mayor Robertson said this is one of her main focusing. She stated, trucks have no reason to go west on Baseline; trucks should not go any further off the 210 frwy on Pepper beyond the signal; she wants Pepper to be eliminated as a truck route. Marcus said we want fewer routes on the map.
John said the Vehicle Code referred to the most direct path, it does not discuss County or City.
Mayor Robertson said, we have 2 statements, one is for the most direct path to serve Rialto, and the other is the direct path for anywhere they need to go. She asked, if we create the ordinance, how do we adjust the ordinance to precluded it.
Mayor Robertson explained the traffic situation with Riverside Ave.
Mayor Pro Tem asked Marcus why the electronic billboard on Ayala Ave. and Riverside Ave. leads trucks to turn right on Ayala Ave., otherwise they will be cited. John said the sign was there in response to residents ’ complaints. Mayor Pro Tem asked John for the total of complaints. John said they have a lot of complaints between the County and the City.
Mayor Pro Tem asked why are we doing this when we said the truck route was going to be eliminated; once we eliminate the route, what would be the truck route s. John said either north bound toward Sierra and the 15-frwy area.
Mayor Robertson talked about the route on Locust as part of the Plan. Mayor Pro Tem wanted to know if trucks are going through Locust. John said no.
Mayor Robertson wanted to know why Casmalia route is going to be eliminated when there is a lot of industrial activities in that area.
Mayor Pro Tem asked why the truck routes are being eliminated on Alder from Baseline to Casa Grande. Marcus explained truck routes limitations and vehicle codes.
Mayor Robertson wanted to know why Alder , not a through route, is part of the route elimination. Marcus said Alder was part of the 2010 General Plan.
Mayor Pro Tem said the community is misled; they think trucks are only supposed to transit on commercial routes.
Mayor Pro Tem asked John, what would be the route from one Walmart to another Walmart. John said Valley and Cedar up. Mayor Pro Tem disagreed with John; he said that is not the most direct route. John stated, “it’s the most direct route for a designated truck route.” Mayor Pro Tem asked John if truck drivers are aware of this information.
John said yes, most truck drivers use GPS for truck path guidance.
Mayor Pro Tem wanted to know if trucks can continue their route down south Riverside Ave. once they get off from the 15 and 210 frwy. John said yes. 6 Mayor Robertson asked why Riverside Ave. coming down to Baseline is a direct route.
John said anything south Ayala Ave. will not be a truck route; the designated, direct truck route will be going down Ayala Ave. He said the moratorium expired.
She asked if trucks can still go on Pepper Ave. off the 210 frwy. John said yes.
Marcus asked if JB-hunt trucks are going to be driving in the City or San Bernardino City.
John said they will be driving in the San Bernardino area south bound Pepper making a left on Baseline and Foothill.
Mayor Robertson asked John for the City boundaries along Pepper Ave. John does not have that information; he went over San Bernardino City route limitations. Marcus said back in 2010, Foothill was still state highway; they did not designate it as a truck route, it was already a truck route. Today, it’s legally not designated as a truck route.
Mayor Robertson has concerns about
One of the PD guys spoke about the San Bernardino Vehicle Code, he spoke the most Concern about truck route on Ayala/Riverside/Locust
Eliminate piece on Ayala from Baseline to 210, Eliminate Pepper south of the 210, Leave in Alder
Mayor Pro Tem asked John if the new map will work better for the City and if it will eliminate residents’ grievances. John said it might be confusing for truck drivers on eliminating Alder; he is concerned about the access to main routes from the 15 and 210 frwy and how that will impact residential and business areas. Mayor Pro Tem agreed with John.
Mayor Robertson proposed Locust Ave. to be a designated truck route since Locust Ave. is already an industrial corridor. John said Locust doesn’t have connection with 210 frwy.
Mayor Pro Tem asked John how many trucks are coming down Riverside Ave. south of Ayala Ave. John said 200 out of 12,000 on average daily traffic, and north Ayala Ave. 560 out of 12,200.
Mayor Robertson was concerned about truck traffic increasing on Riverside Ave. and 210 frwy.
Mayor Pro Tem asked John for the point of disperse for the trucks coming down Ayala Ave. John said at the 210 frwy many of them turn on Casmalia.
Marcus asked John if we should keep Casmalia. John said if redirecting route truck is going to be the main focus, we can consider it. Marcus said we keep Casmalia and Locust within the city limits but between Locust and Ayala Ave. might not be necessary.
Mayor Robertson said we should designate Locust; it would help decrease the traffic on Alder.
Marcus asked John, in terms of extending Riverside Ave. to the 210, where do we land.
John said regarding traffic, Riverside Ave. is safer than Ayala Ave.
Mayor Robertson asked John to talk to the other cities about Pepper Ave.
Mayor Robertson asked if we need to make designated routes when trucks have to make deliveries on the not designated routes. John said trucks still have to follow Municipal Codes. He said we should consider keeping Cedar as a truck corridor.
Mayor Robertson asked John if the section between Baseline and Renaissance on Ayala Ave. is going to be eliminate. John said yes.
Council discussed routes in Fontana regarding trucks heading toward the City. 7 John suggested to continue with the routes on Maple to Cedar corridor on Foothill Blvd.
Marcus said the trucks that need to go through the City, they need to be designated.
Council decided to continue routes on Riverside Ave. and Ayala Ave. and eliminate routes on 210 frwy down Baseline.
Mayor Pro Tem suggested to eliminate the route on Slover between Cactus.
Mayor Robertson asked John to make truck recognition on the map for areas in the Agua Mansa.
Ball talked about Agua Mansa, small portion that is ours. Mayor Robertson talked about Colton’s projects. Marcus said that it will need to be folded into the general plan.
Marcus suggested another moratorium on truck routes since the one on Ayala Ave. already expired. John will put together a summary.
Speed
The Sgt Daniel Smith prior to leaving said he was concerned about the map routes. He said nothing has been surveyed for Linden Ave. between Baseline and Renaissance.
The original survey speed is 35 mph prior to commercial development; they can’t get the 10-year window due to the roadway changes.
Ayala/Linden, then John & Justin spoke.
John said they can’t recertify a double survey if there are changed conditions.
Speed
John went through that presentation (AB 43)
Marcus said this was by state law. Attachment shows roads going to 10/15 miles an hour.
Marcus asked why the City set speed limits on residential collector roads, such Etiwanda Ave. and Linden Ave. He said by law, the roads can be set with a “prima facie” speed limit of 25 mph., without regarding the 85% speed law otherwise required by the Vehicle Code.
Marcus said it will go to Transportation Commission in June then go to Council.
Marcus said to Justin to look at doing a special meeting in June with Transportation.
Public outreach should be done.

Committee Comments/Questions/Recommendations
Land west of Food 4 Less – MPT is in favor of us sponsoring a change.
Land between Foothill/Cactus – developer want to put residential ; however, the current specific plan says it has to be 50% commercial . Developers need to submit a Specific Plan Amendment, or the City can sponson it.
Siri said Foothill Central Specific Plan is funded by SCAG at no cost to the City, this would be an option to move fo rward with the Specific Plan Amendment. She said the other option would be for the City to pay for it.
8 Mayor Robertson asked Siri how long it will take for SCAG to take in and if those resources will hold up both projects. Siri said the best approach is to proceed with the City initiated Specific Plan to be covered by the rezone strategy. She said we have until June 2023 to get those funds.
Mayor Pro Tem said that property is hard to get it rezone. He said we need to expedite the process; we need to get something done before we hit recession.
MPT wants them to look at Southwest Willow/Foothill.
Mayor wants to know about Northwest Eucalyptus/Foothill. Mayor Robertson said the Foothill Specific Plan it was going to be residential only.
Siri said there are no requirements for commercial in the Residential - Mixed Use.
Mayor Pro Tem wants to know which is the fastest way to do it. Marcus said we have a consultant on board now. Mayor Pro Tem said they have to do public outreach.
Paul made a couple of suggestions.
Paul said El Patio – someone is inquiring. However, they did not put it on the plans for what it’s for. Looked like a façade change ; t hey listed for “cash and carry ” type of business. Paul will check if they change ownership.
Paul said regarding the old Stater Bros building, they want to do black-market business concept. He explained that type of business.
Marcus recommended Siri to use the same consultant to move forward.

Committee Comments/Questions/Recommendations
Mayor Robertson said we need to figure it out how do we quantify the benefits to the environment to be able to make improvements for the future; we need to know the total for commercial developers and residential. She asked how do we get credit for carbon print reduction. She wants to know what elements we have already implemented, and what direction we are moving forward.
Mayor Robertson was concerned about large industrial properties, such as Colombia S.
She said once the property gets sold, new owners are not going to get grandfather rules for developing.
Mayor Robertson talked about the property on Pepper Ave. and 210 frwy how it was designated to be residential zon e and turned out to be a junk yard. She was concerned about all the residents’ complaints.

Foothill Central Specific Plan Vision and Engagement
BACKGROUND
In November of 1983, the Rialto Central Area Specific Plan was adopted by the City Council and in August of 2010, the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan was also adopted by the City Council. Neither specific plan has been updated since they were originally adopted. Recognizing the need for an update, on January 26, 2021, City Council authorized submittal of an application to the Southern California Association of Governments to amend and combine the Rialto Central Area Specific Plan and the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan.
On April 27, 2022, the Planning Division made a presentation to the City of Rialto Economic Development Committee (EDC). At that time, the EDC requested information and directed staff to return to the EDC to receive guidance and input on the vision for the new Specific Plan.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
Existing Vision of the Specific Plans
The proposed combined Specific Plan has been named the “Foothill Central Specific Plan”. The first step in the planning process is to update the vision for Foothill Boulevard and downtown Rialto. To facilitate an updated vision, the following provides a discussion of the existing visions for each of the areas.
Vision for Downtown
For the Rialto Central Area Specific Plan, the city adopted ten objectives in place of a vision. In 2009, the City Council approved the Downtown Vision and Strategic Plan, a non-regulatory document. The vision statement is included in its entirety in Attachment A. In short, the Downtown Vision is to make the area the heart of Rialto, defined by its hometown character, gathering places, and connections to the city and region. The downtown will have a mix of uses and activities at and near the existing Civic Center and Metrolink Station and will be safe and walkable with transportation options afforded by the Metrolink and the Pacific Electric Rail trail.

The vision established in the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan is included in Attachment B. In short, the vision is to identify the city as a unique, vibrant community with quality development that will revitalize existing development and public investment in infrastructure that creates opportunities for new and revitalized development.
The vision for the new Specific Plan will be crafted through consultation with the Economic Development Committee, Planning Commission, City Council, and public stakeholders such as residents, business owners, property owners, and community organizations.
Input Received from Public Stakeholders
In April 2022, the Foothill Central Specific Plan team hosted a survey and pop-up events to gather input about stakeholder visions for Foothill Boulevard and downtown Rialto. A summary of the engagement activities to date is provided in Attachment C.
Based on the survey and pop-up event responses, Rialto stakeholders envision a Foothill Boulevard and downtown Rialto that is safe, green, and attractive with bustling areas for shopping restaurants, entertainment, and places to play; with well-lit streets and sidewalks for cars, buses, bicyclists, and pedestrians including people with disabilities; and a diverse community with culture, arts, and amenities as well as parks and homes for people of all ages and incomes.
Planned Stakeholder Engagement
Following visioning sessions with the EDC, the Planning Commission, and the City Council, the project team plans to engage stakeholders through a project webpage on the city’s website, postcards sent to property and business owners, two Workshops, three additional pop-ups, two study sessions, and a housing information campaign and summit. These are described in Attachment D.
EDC Vision
At this meeting, the Planning Division invites the EDC to offer their visions for Foothill Boulevard and downtown Rialto.
Next Steps
In the next steps of the project, the project team plans to present to the Planning Commission and the City Council and to request their input on the vision for the plan. Parallel to these activities, the consultant will continue with technical aspects of the project scop. Future engagement includes study sessions and a public workshop anticipated for September 2022.
FINANCIAL IMPACT

RIALTO SPECIFIC PLAN UPDATE
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN (PIP)
Introduction
Effective coordination and stakeholder involvement are critical to overall project success. This Public Involvement Plan (PIP) provides guidance for implementing community outreach and engagement for the Rialto Specific Plan update. The PIP will be used as a blueprint for defining methods and tools to educate and engage all community stakeholders (as identified in the Stakeholder Identification section below) in the project. The following PIP framework has been designed to ensure that stakeholders are provided several opportunities to provide input for the Specific Plan update.
The PIP goals and objectives are to:
• Understand stakeholders’ key issues and concerns;
• Engage stakeholders to gather input for the Specific Plan update early and often;
• Apply flexibility in the Specific Plan update to address stakeholders’ concerns whenever possible;
• Identify and address any issues before they escalate to potential obstacles to the completion of the Specific Plan update;
• Promote positive stakeholder perceptions of the Specific Plan update; and • Establish expectations for communicating how input has been used following the planning process and publication of the Specific Plan.
Community Involvement and Engagement
Early and sustained stakeholder engagement and involvement will be effectively facilitated to serve an appropriate role in project decision making. The goal of the PIP is to actively seek the participation of communities, agencies, individual interest groups and the general public throughout the project development process. The PIP provides the framework for achieving consensus and communicating the decision- making process between local community members, public agencies and governmental officials to garner input for the Specific Plan update.
As outlined in the PIP below, the WSP team will:
36 Foothill Central Specific Plan - Public Involvement Plan | Page 2 • Identify stakeholders;
• Coordinate and facilitate community engagement for six pop-ups; • Coordinate and facilitate public workshops (one virtual, one in-person); • Create presentation materials for two study sessions; • Coordinate and facilitate the Housing Summit; and
• Facilitate follow-up contact with stakeholders following plan publication Stakeholder Identification
A stakeholder is anyone who could be affected by the Specific Plan update and has an interest in its outcome. This includes property owners, tribal governments and members, nearby business owners, state and local officials, and special interest groups. Specific stakeholders for this project may include, but not be limited to, the following:
• Property owners and residents;
• Business owners;
• Institutions (places of worship, schools, etc.);
• Advocates for community and historic interests;
• Special interest groups;
• Elected/community officials;
• Government and transportation agencies;
• Chambers of Commerce;
• Neighborhood associations and groups;
• Environmental coalitions;
• Parent-teacher associations;
• Utilities; and
• Others outside the project area with an interest in the project.
We will conduct early coordination and engagement with local stakeholders as a means of introduction and establishing two-way lines of communication.
Stakeholder identification will be done through a combination of research and input from city staff and local community leaders. We anticipate that new stakeholders will be added to the initial stakeholder list throughout the project. All stakeholders 37 Foothill Central Specific Plan - Public Involvement Plan | Page 3 expressing interest in the project will be added to the project communication distribution list and will be invited to participate in the process through various public outreach opportunities. These opportunities may include, but are not limited to, pop-ups, public meetings (both online and in-person with COVID-19 protocols in place), surveys, one-pagers, the project website, the Housing Summit and study sessions. The project distribution list will be updated and maintained through the duration of the project contract and will be provided to the City of Rialto and Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) teams.
Public Involvement Strategies
The WSP team will utilize a variety of online platforms for internal and external coordination efforts. Measurable results from recent efforts show an increase in participation numbers in recent virtual engagement efforts. This is, in part, due to the push to utilize accessible, online platforms enhanced with live polling, breakout rooms and other customizable solutions that allow participants to engage when it is convenient for them. Our team will deliver a results-driven strategy for stakeholder engagement and communication which may include, but is not limited to, the following:
• Public Workshops: Two public workshops will be held with translated materials available, along with interpretation services. One workshop will be held in person and one workshop will be held virtually. The in-person workshop will utilize staffed pop-up boards as an interactive tool for gathering community input, as well as a Place It! activity.
o Place It!: Place It! events invite participants to engage in visioning and problem solving by guiding stakeholders in creating 3D models with everyday objects (e.g., bottle caps, LEGOs, pipe cleaners). This interactive activity cultivates an understanding of how physical environments can be transformed and engages stakeholders in storytelling through an urban planning lens.
Any in-person engagement will be done only as allowed by local and state public health officials and in accordance with official guidelines. The virtual workshop will be a user-friendly online meeting that allows for breakout rooms (as appropriate) and interactive polling. The online meeting will be held with support of virtual engagement platforms such as:
o Real-time Presentation Polling: Poll Everywhere is recommended to enhance stakeholder engagement. The real-time survey platform allows for questions to be projected on a screen or shown on a video 38 Foothill Central Specific Plan - Public Involvement Plan | Page 4 display. Participants respond to the questions through text messaging or the internet on smart phones, tablets, laptops or other devices connected to the internet. The results appear in real-time on the screen as word clouds, multiple choice answers, rankings, comments or in a variety of other formats. Responses can be monitored prior to being posted on screen. Results are recorded and made available through visual, detailed reports. Survey questions can be created and deployed quickly.
o Google Jamboard: This collaborative digital whiteboard allows people to provide input before and/or after live events and can be conveniently downloaded as a PDF for additional use and record keeping.
• Pop-Ups: Up to six pop-up events will be organized and facilitated by WSP staff within the City of Rialto. These pop-ups will serve to connect with community members where they are and when they are available. These pop-ups will be held at strategic locations and times that will leverage existing gatherings of stakeholders to engage on the Specific Plan update (e.g., after 5 p.m. at local grocery stores, at local farmers’ markets, during peak travel hours at the Rialto Metro Station). Additionally, the WSP team will incorporate existing City of Rialto community events to engage community members (e.g., Spring Eggstravaganza, April 16th, 2022/National Night Out, August 6th, 2022). Pop-ups will be facilitated in two main phases that will be scheduled to align with opportunities within the Specific Plan update process to gather meaningful input from stakeholders. • MetroQuest Survey: As a supplement to direct and personal community outreach, WSP will use the online engagement platform MetroQuest to educate stakeholders and gather public input. MetroQuest utilizes game-like activities to engage users. Respondents could be asked to pinpoint locations and comment on a virtual map; to move items into priority order; distribute virtual coins to indicate priorities; rate various scenarios; react to visual representations showing features such as lighting, bus shelters, landscaping, bike lanes, crosswalks or decorative elements; answer traditional survey questions; submit comments; or participate in a variety of other public input activities. The surveys can be conducted in English, Spanish and one additional language. Demographic information such as zip code, age, income and ethnicity can be gathered to ensure a diverse group of stakeholders is engaged. Promotion of the MetroQuest site will be key to receiving the most complete surveys possible. The site will be made available to the public 39 Foothill Central Specific Plan - Public Involvement Plan | Page 5 through the plan website, partner websites, social media, mass distribution emails, pop-ups, public meetings and other methods as determined with the City of Rialto and SCAG staff. Relevant exercises include:
▪ Mapping and crowdsourcing;
▪ Priority ranking;
▪ Tradeoff considerations; and
▪ Visioning
The WSP team will utilize the tools and strategies listed above to engage local stakeholders on identified goals and foster collaboration.
Study Sessions
The WSP team will prepare presentation materials and documentation for up to two study sessions: one for a City deliberative body and one for City Department staff.
We acknowledge study session content will be different for the Planning Commission or City Council versus Planning Department staff and will tailor content appropriately. Ensuring staff are fully comfortable and knowledgeable of any code changes that informs how they guide, review, and facilitate short and long-term growth in the Rialto community is important. The WSP team will coordinate with staff on when study session dates should occur, work with staff to identify how far in advance materials are due and ensure that all information we present to deliberative bodies has been approved by staff, and that those deliberative bodies have a platform where they are able to ask questions, relay concerns, feel informed, and offer recommendations/support for adoption.
Housing Information Campaign and Summit
A housing summit, accompanied by a social media campaign to raise awareness and attract participants, will be conducted. We recognize that the complexities of housing development within the Inland Empire are unique compared to other parts of the region and will work with City staff to identify overall desired outcomes, appropriate attendees, level of participation by different stakeholders, and resulting content. Knowing that jurisdiction staff across the region are stretched for time and availability, we propose a virtual summit with materials and structure that can be easily recorded and redistributed online.
Our team will coordinate and deliver one housing summit/workshop detailed agenda and supporting presentation materials with corresponding notes following the summit/workshop. A proposed structure for the housing summit/workshop can be found in the Appendix as Item A.
40 Foothill Central Specific Plan - Public Involvement Plan | Page 6 Project Branding and Collateral
• Our team will produce a Style Guide that dictates the brand’s primary, secondary and accent colors. In addition, the guide lays out the font choice for all printed and web-based collateral.
• The Rialto Specific Plan logo will be a visual compliment to the City seal and previous planning efforts, and customized to emphasize the diversity of housing and multi-use development. Project branding will be used in all outreach materials including, but not limited to, surveys, public meetings, pop-ups and one-pagers.
• Project handouts and other pertinent meeting materials will be prepared for distribution at stakeholder meetings and may also be provided on the project website as appropriate. The WSP team will develop text for the project website, as well as text for monthly email blasts.
Updates and Briefings
Briefings will be conducted with City of Rialto staff and SCAG representatives regarding project updates and progress. These meetings may be held just prior to the public meetings/hearing at major milestones in the project. Appropriate project summary materials will be prepared for distribution at these meetings.
Once the Rialto Specific Plan update is finalized, the WSP team will use the stakeholder database developed throughout the project to distribute the final report and any other relevant information related to the City’s Specific Plan update.
Public Response and Communication
Throughout the Specific Plan update process, both direct and indirect public comment is anticipated. Direct public comment may come as email (by a direct link from the website or through the project-established email account), standard mail, phone calls and comment forms/surveys issued at meetings and briefings. Indirect public comment will come through the media, non-agency sponsored meetings and third-party websites. It is important to address both direct and indirect public comment to ensure the public that its concerns and opinions are being recognized, and to respond to potentially problematic issues such as misinformation.
Mail and email responses offer the opportunity to develop a personalized response, yet timeliness is important. The desired timeframe to develop, edit, approve and mail (or email) a response is four days from the date it is received.
A centralized comment response management system will be implemented through an Excel spreadsheet. The goal of this system is to provide a centralized, secure 41 Foothill Central Specific Plan - Public Involvement Plan | Page 7 and electronically accessible repository for comments. It will be capable of categorizing the comment types and issues, tracking the status of comment responses and maintaining a comment record for the environmental documentation. The system will also collect and maintain stakeholder contact information for mailing list automation. This system will be shared with the City of Rialto and SCAG teams through our shared drive.
Phone calls and standard mail will be answered by the WSP team unless the City of Rialto or SCAG teams request to complete the responses. Monitoring third-party meetings, activities, websites, and media reports related to the project will continue throughout the project contract.
Public Review During the Environmental Review Process
The WSP team will present information, provide presentation materials, and answer CEQA-related questions associated with the project as necessary to support the City prior to and during the public hearing. A team member will be present at one public hearing meeting; the WSP team will prepare PowerPoint slides for presentation materials for the public hearing. If requested by the City, the WSP team, with support from City staff, will respond to comments about the environmental document.
Implementation
Stakeholder and public involvement in the planning process begins at the project kickoff and is planned to continue throughout the City of Rialto Specific Plan update.
This PIP includes strategies that can be used throughout all phases but will be further refined after discussions with the City of Rialto and SCAG staff.
Implementation of this plan requires the commitment and efforts of all parties involved. As an implementation guide, this plan will link specific strategies to the study schedule and identify the audience that each strategy is intended to reach.

APPROVAL: Marcus Fuller, City Manager
REVIEWED BY: Paul Gonzales, Community Development Manager FROM: Siri Champion, Senior Planner
2021-2029 (6th Cycle) General Plan Housing Element and Rezone Strategy Update
BACKGROUND
The California State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requires all California cities adopt and periodically submit an updated Housing Element as part of their General Plans for review and determination of compliance with State law. The City’sHousing Element was last updated in 2020 for the 2014-2021 Four Year (Mid-Cycle) update and an update is now required for the 6th Cycle planning period of 2021-2029. The City initiated work on the Housing Element update which was completed with the assistance of Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. in March 2021.
Upon completion of data collection, analysis, community engagement and outreach to property owners, Kimley-Horn prepared a first draft of the Housing Element Update. In October of 2021, the City Council directed staff to submit the draft to HCD for their first review. Staff received a comment letter on the first draft from HCD on December 13, 2021. In response to HCD’scomments, Kimley- Horn prepared a revised (second) draft, which the City Council adopted on March 8, 2022. The revised (second) draft was submitted to HCD and the City received a comment letter on the second draft from HCD on June 3, 2022.
This report is intended to provide an update on the Housing Element Update and the associated Rezone Strategy.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
Housing Element Update
HCD determined the City’srevised (second) draft 6th Cycle Housing Element is not in compliance with State Housing Element Law. Similarly, approximately 85% of Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) jurisdictions are out of compliance and are also working through the Housing Element review and revision process. In this cycle, it is common for jurisdictions to submit three or four drafts of their Housing Elements before achieving compliance.
HCD has provided a list of comments on the revised (second) draft 6th Cycle Housing Element (Attachment A). Necessary revisions include additional information, more detailed analysis, and City of Rialto Printed on 7/22/2022Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
51 File #: EDC-22-680, Version: 1, Agenda #: 4
(Attachment A). Necessary revisions include additional information, more detailed analysis, and additions or modifications to draft policies and programs. The revisions fall under the following categories:
· Housing Needs, Resources, and Constraints
o Affirmatively furthering fair housing
o Household characteristics
o Inventory of land suitable and available for residential development o Potential and actual governmental constraints
o Potential and actual non-governmental constraints
· Housing Programs
o Actions that will be taken to make sites available
o Removal of governmental and non-governmental constraints o Affirmatively further fair housing opportunities and promote housing for all persons The next steps for the Housing Element are to prepare a revised (third) draft, distribute for public review for seven days and submit to HCD for their review for compliance. HCD has sixty (60) days to make findings. Once the letter of substantial compliance is received, the City must re-adopt the plan.
Until then, the City’s Housing Element is out of compliance with state Housing Element Law.
Rezoning Strategy
The Housing Plan includes Housing Program 2B, rezone to provide adequate sites to accommodate RHNA. As a result of changes to state law (SB 197), the City’sHousing Element must receive a letter of compliance from HCD by October 15, 2022. If the City is found in compliance by that deadline, the deadline for the rezoning strategy has been extended to February 2025. In the event that the City does not meet the October 15, 2022 deadline, the deadline for the rezone strategy remains October 15, 2022.
If the City does not have a compliant Housing Element, it is ineligible for certain funding and grant opportunities, such as the Permanent Local Housing Allocation, Local Housing Trust Funds, Infill Infrastructure Grants, and SB 1 planning grants, the City must be compliant with state Housing Element Law.
Through the Permanent Local Housing Allocation, the City has been allocated more than $1.5 million in 2019 and 2020 funds to use for housing-related projects. The deadline to apply for the City’s2019 funds is December 31, 2022.
While HCD’sletter asks for additional analysis regarding realistic capacity of sites identified to meet the City’sRHNA allocation, the letter does not question the sites themselves. Any adjustment made to realistic capacity would affect unit capacity, meaning the number of potential sites at varying income levels, but the adjustment would not change the sites or proposed zoning designation of the sites.
Due to HCD’sstatutory review timelines, the City has sufficient time to submit a third draft of the adopted Housing Element to receive comments by the October 15, 2022 deadline. Given that many cities are required to submit a fourth draft, the City risks losing grant funds. Based on these facts, staff seeks direction from the Economic Development Committee regarding how to proceed with City of Rialto Printed on 7/22/2022Page 2 of 4

preparation of the rezone strategy.
Randall/Lilac/Bloomington Properties
As part of the rezone strategy, it properties located southeast of the intersection of Randall Avenue, Lilac Avenue, and Bloomington Avenue were contemplated to be rezoned from Agricultural (A-1) to Multiple Family (R-3). At the EDC’sdirection, these properties have been removed from the rezone strategy. In response, the City Council has received a letter (See Attachment B) from William Lee, one of the property owners, who is requesting reconsideration. As stated in the letter, Mr. Lee is working with a developer on a concept for a two-story townhome project with an anticipated density of 15 to 18 dwelling units/acre. The project would be similar in density and layout to the Century Communities on Foothill Boulevard and the Adams Grove community by Crestwood Communities on Cactus Avenue.
The City may consider the following:
Option 1. Include the six properties proposed for development by Mr. Lee in the 6th Cycle Housing Element Rezone Strategy, which would be changed from A-1 to R-3. The six properties are shown in the map below; or,
Option 2. Mr. Lee submits a request for a zone change independent of the 6th Cycle Housing Element rezone strategy.

Amendment no. 6 to Cooperative Agreement 93-049 between the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority and the City of Rialto
DISCUSSION:
On June 2, 2021, the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Board of Directors directed its staff to add the core assets at each of its stations (Core Station Assets) to SBCTA property insurance for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021/2022 and update the station cooperative agreements to include a provision that the respective host city will reimburse SBCTA for 50% of the associated cost going forward.
The amendment identifies which party is responsible for providing insurance for the various assets at the Rialto Metrolink Station and what costs are shared. Under this amendment, SBCTA will obtain property insurance for the station platforms and the canopies. SBCTA will invoice each city the following fiscal year for 50% of the costs of the insurance for the Core Station Assets at their respective stations.
SBCTA has removed Article V, Section 5.11 “Administration of Leases” section and has replaced it with a new section that allows the City to act as the landlord on behalf of SBCTA and the City. SBCTA will no longer review and approve tenants, terms, or conditions of leases and the City will not be required to report to SBCTA status of lease agreements. The City shall provide SBCTA with written justification that the City has performed in a reasonable and good faith manner for each proposed lease, prior to amending a lease or entering into a new lease.
The amendment also corrects some clerical errors and makes all of the station agreements standardized. The update also includes changing the distribution of proceeds from the sale of the non -operating property upon termination to be equal shares; requiring security be provided from thirty minutes before the arrival of the first train of the day till thirty minutes after the departure of the last train of the day; adding language requiring that each party carry insurance or self-insurance to cover liability, defense and indemnification obligations under the agreement; and where a city has a lease administration role at the station that the city first retains 3% of gross lease revenues to cover their administration costs, then the remainder of the lease revenue is applied towards the maintenance and security of the station before SBCTA finally receives an equal share of any revenue which City of Rialto Printed on 7/22/2022Page 1 of 2
