Entitlement Status Report
Presented by Christina Taylor
Committee Comments/Questions/Recommendations:
5 Christina Taylor provided an entitlement status report from the Planning Department. City Manager Tanya Williams questioned what the different colors on the report signified. Ms.
Taylor advised the different colors were used so it was easier to identify projects. Mayor Baca inquired about the rezoning of Olive Grove Residential; Daniel Casey provided an update – the project is proposing 29 detached homes to be built on the site.
Mayor Pro Tem Scott inquired about the work being done at El Patio. Ms. Taylor advised El Patio has permits in place for tentative improvements. Mayor Baca inquired what the building would become. Mr. Casey mentioned that a potential tenant could be a Cash and Carry and confirmed that the City is still not sure who the tenants will be. Paul Gonzales added that interior improvements to the building will be done first since exterior improvements were not approved yet. Mayor Pro Tem Scott mentioned that he saw workers making modifications on the exterior of the building and that staff should look into this.
Jay Garcia added that the last time the building was inspected, supplies for restaurants were found being stored without permission until the Fire Marshall got involved. Mayor Baca asked if a market assessment ha d been conducted to figure out what the value of the property would be, and perhaps if it would be of any value to the City if it was purchased and used for something other than commercial tenant spaces. Mayor Pro Tem Scott said it had been done and that the owner was asking for more money than the lot was worth.
Ms. Taylor let Mayor Baca know that she can provide a report , like the one that was presented, monthly. Mayor Pro Tem Scott requested that projects not requiring entitlements also be included in this report. As requested, Ms. Taylor will also include potential projects. Mayor Pro Tem Scott asked for the status on the Chick -Fil-A project; Mr. Casey advised that the project has been withdrawn by the developer.
Mayor Pro Tem Scott requested that, before providing applicants with a requirements list, the Planning team first route the discussion to EDC to explore potential waivers to help keep the applicant and project in Rialto.
Mayor Baca brought up the food market project that was previously discussed. Ms. Taylor advised that there hasn’t been any traction with this project. Paul Guerrero mentioned that the packing house property was listed as an opportunity site, not as a for sale site.
Mayor Baca let staff know that recent studies have shown the household median income in Rialto is now higher than some surrounding cities in San Bernardino County. He recommends staff take advantage of this and seriously consider a food market.
Mayor Baca inquired if there were any updates on the old Cuca’s building. Ms. Taylor advised that staff would be releasing an RFP for potential tenants. Mayor Pro Tem Scott clarified that Council ha d already discussed that they would not like to see another restaurant at that location. City Manager Tanya Williams elaborated that the idea was to get a wide variety of applicants and have Council select which one they would like to see as a tenant; most of the Council would like to see a healthy grab and go concept there. 6 Mayor Pro Tem Scott asked for a status update on the project at Pepper and the 210 Freeway. Mr. Casey advised that it is fully entitled, and the applicant requested an extension for the project. Mayor Baca mentioned how he would like to set up a meeting with the San Manuel Tribe to discuss the possibility of building a Yaamava Outlet Center.
Mayor Pro Tem Scott noted that there is some value in doing five -year entitlements instead of one-year entitlements. The City can profit with five-year entitlements since the owner would be more likely to hold onto that property. Mayor Pro Tem Scott requested that a price schedule be written up for this purpose.
Mayor Baca brought up San Antonio Hospital and how they are interested in coming to Rialto. Ms. Taylor mentioned that she has talked to certain individuals from San Antonio Hospital and had shown them some available properties and given them information on who owns the sites. They are looking for a location that has already been built. Mayor Pro Tem Scott advised that Lewis might build the facility for them as a donation. Mayor Baca added that Arrowhead Medical Center would is also interested in some type o f urgent care facility and a possible hospital in Rialto.
Mayor Baca would like to revisit the flower shop (134 S. Willow) and conduct another assessment to look into purchasing th e property. City Manager Tanya Williams added that the owner of the building sent her an email expressing his concerns over code enforcement interactions that happened at that building. It was confirmed that the building is red tagged. Mayor Baca clarified that if there is a way to solve this problem, it should be looked into some more, especially if it will benefit the City. It was confirmed that City staff will revisit the appraisal.
Mayor Pro Tem Scott also asked for a status update on the project at San Bernardino and Riverside Avenue. Mr. Casey advised that Northgate Market is still pending. Mayor Baca asked if there has been any interest expressed by hotel owners to build in Rialto.
Mr. Guerrero advised that he had one interested developer at ICSC who asked for available sites, but he hasn’t heard anything further from them.
Mayor Pro Tem Scott requested an update regarding Renaissance (Residential) phase two. Mr. Casey advised that they have an entitlement. Mayor Pro Tem Scott asked staff to follow up on River Ranch phase two. Mr. Casey mentioned that it is currently under review; the entitlements should be completed within the next 5 months.
City Manager Tanya Williams questioned how projects were being assigned to Planning staff – how is consistency ensured if two similar projects are assigned to different staff members? Mr. Gonzales used Renaissance (residential) phase one and two as an example. He stated a more seasoned planner worked on phase one and was able to guide and assist the less experienced planner assigned to phase two. City Manager Tanya Williams again asked what quality control aspect s are in place to ensure 7 consistency when two different planners are assigned ? Mr. Gonzales stated that there are weekly meetings held with the Planning staff to discuss all projects in detail.
Ms. Taylor pointed out that Resource Road is in bad shape and led a discussion on ways to offset the cost of repaving the road. Ms. Taylor advised that the City of Rialto may want to consider using CFD’s for road maintenance . Vicente Giron suggested having developers contribute more to include areas that extend beyond their propert y lines to help facilitate road improvements and offset costs.
Mayor Pro Tem Scott and Mayor Baca suggested having the second phase of River Ranch be a gated community. The Planning department will have a conversation with the developer to see what can be done.
Upcoming Meetings/Other Discussion Items:
Mayor Baca requested that both short range and long range projects be included in the next report along with project timelines.
City Manager Tanya Williams advised that the RFP to solicit a tenant for the Metrolink building (John Longview Station) has closed. Three applicants will be interviewed at a future EDC meeting.
The next EDC meeting is scheduled for Thursday, August 28, 2025.

Temporary Use Permit (TUP) Ordinance
BACKGROUND
A Temporary Use Permit (TUP) allows for the short-term, limited-duration use of a property for a specific purpose that is not typically permitted or intended as a permanent use within a particular zoning district. The primary goal of a TUP is to regulate and manage these temporary activities to ensure they are compatible with surrounding land uses and do not adversely affect public health, safety, or welfare. Currently, the City does not have an established TUP process in place, which has made it challenging to consistently manage and oversee temporary events. Implementing a formal TUP process will provide a clear framework for reviewing and approving such uses, helping to ensure that future temporary events are conducted in an orderly, safe, and equitable manner.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
Temporary Use Permits (TUPs) are categorized as either Minor or Major, depending on the scope and potential impact of the proposed activity. Minor TUPs are approved administratively by the Director of Community Development or their designee. Major TUPs, while also processed administratively, may have greater impacts on traffic, noise, or surrounding areas and are therefore routed to additional City departments for review.
To apply for a TUP, applicants must complete the required application and submit all supporting documentation. Major TUP applications must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the event start date, while Minor TUP applications are due at least 14 days in advance. After submission to the Planning Division, an assigned planner will review the application. If the request qualifies as a Major TUP, the planner will distribute the plans to other City departments for further evaluation. Once the City of Rialto Printed on 9/11/2025Page 1 of 2

20 File #: EDC-25-0643, Version: 1, Agenda #:
review is complete, staff will either issue comments and request revisions or provide Conditions of Approval for the event. When all requirements are met, the applicant will receive a formal approval letter along with the final conditions.
TUPs provide flexibility within zoning regulations, allowing for temporary activities that may not otherwise be permitted at a specific location. These permits are typically subject to tailored conditions to ensure public safety and minimize potential disruptions to the community. Common examples of temporary uses include seasonal retail sales, public events held on private property, and temporary structures for outdoor activities such as carnivals. Each TUP application must include a detailed plan outlining the proposed activity, including a site layout. Minor TUPs are permitted for events lasting seven consecutive days or fewer, up to four times within a 12-month period. Major TUPs may be approved for events lasting up to 40 consecutive days, with a maximum of two events allowed per 12- month period.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Economic Development Committee receive this report, discuss and provide feedback to staff.

Chapter 18.XXX. - TEMPORARY USE PERMIT
18.XXX.010 - Purpose.
The purpose of the temporary use permit (TUP) is to regulate short-term activities (i.e., seasonal sales, sidewalk sales, etc.) on private property that may not meet the normal development or use standards of the applicable zoning district. The intent is to ensure that temporary uses will be compatible with surrounding uses, to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, and to minimize any adverse effects on surrounding properties and the environment. Short-term events requiring a TUP shall be permitted within zones allowing for commercial, industrial, manufacturing, mixed-use, and office. With the exception of properties zoned mixed-use, no TUPs will be approved for residentially zoned properties. This includes the following zoning districts:
A. Administrative Professional – Institutional Zone (A-P) B. Office Park Zone (O-P)
C. Neighborhood Commercial Zone (C-1)
D. Community Shopping Center Zone (C-1, A)
E. Retail Commercial Zone (R-C)
F. Central Commercial Zone (C-2)
G. Freeway Commercial Zone (F-C)
H. General Commercial Zone (C-3)
I. Industrial Park Zone (I-P)
J. Commercial Manufacturing Zone (C-M)
K. Light Manufacturing Zone (M-1)
L. Planned Industrial Development Zone (PID)
M. General Manufacturing Zone (M-2)
N. Foothill Central Specific Plan
18.XXX.020 - Authority.
The director of community development or designee is authorized to approve or deny TUP applications, and to impose reasonable conditions upon such approval. Conditions may include, but shall not be limited to, requirements for buffers and/or barriers; requirements for vehicular ingress, egress, and on-site traffic circulation; regulation of hours or other characteristics of operation; establishment of development schedules or time limits for performance, completion or removal. Any short-term events that are not specifically listed in this Chapter will be classified as either a Minor or Major TUP, based on this Chapter and the discretion of the director of community development or their designee. This Chapter shall not apply to any temporary use conducted in partnership with the City.
18.XXX.030 – Application for Filing and Processing.
22 4908-2463-2636 v8 Page 2 of 8

2. All materials and structures associated with the temporary event or use shall be removed within three (3) days from the end of the event or after the expiration of the TUP, whichever occurs first.
3. A minimum of 30 days shall pass between the issuance of a new TUP and the expiration of previously issued TUP for the same property.
4. Temporary events or uses may be subject to additional licenses, inspections, or approvals required by applicable local, State, or Federal requirements, such as a permit from San Bernardino County Environmental Health Services for food sales.
5. Temporary events or uses may be subject to additional inspections or approvals as required and established by the City of Rialto Fire Department, Public Works Department, Police Department, the Building and Safety Division or other City departments.
6. Tents, canopies, awnings and easy-ups shall be approved by the Fire 23 4908-2463-2636 v8 Page 3 of 8
Department.

a. The proposed temporary use would be located, operated, and maintained in a manner conforming with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan and provisions of the Rialto Municipal Code.
b. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the proposed use, as conditionally approved, would not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons attending, residing, or working in the vicinity of the proposed use.
c. Approved measures for the removal of the use and site restoration have been required to ensure that no changes to the site would limit the range of possible future land uses otherwise allowed by the Rialto Municipal Code.
2. A denial of the TUP by the director of community development, must set forth the particulars wherein the application for a TUP failed to meet the necessary conditions set forth in Section 18.XXX.030(D)(1), as being prerequisite to the granting of the TUP.
E. Conditions of Approval. In approving the TUP, the director of community development may impose conditions (e.g., buffers, hours of operation, noise limitations, lighting, parking, security, signs, time limits, traffic circulation, etc.) deemed reasonable and necessary to ensure that the approval would be in compliance with the findings required by Subsection D (Findings and Decision) and to preserve the public health, safety, and general welfare.
18.XXX.040 - Minor Temporary Use Events.
A Minor Temporary Use Permit (Minor TUP) event is a short-term activity on properties zoned commercial, industrial, manufacturing, mixed-use, or office which may be approved provided such activities do not result in adverse impacts on traffic, parking, noise, health and safety, or other environmental or community concerns. Upon review of the Minor TUP application materials, the director of community development, or their designee, may determine that they cannot make the findings required by this Chapter, or may impose conditions of approval to ensure, among other issues, proper operation of the proposed use and address any potential negative impacts. 24 4908-2463-2636 v8 Page 4 of 8

For the Economic Development Committee [September 18, 2025] TO: Honorable Economic Development Committee Members
APPROVAL: Christina Taylor, Community Development Director FROM: Sandra Robles, Senior Planner
Amendment to the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance
BACKGROUND
The City first adopted its Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance in 2020 in response to a state mandate (California Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22). Since then, state laws governing ADUs have changed, rendering the City's ordinance out of compliance. Under state regulations, if a local ADU ordinance is not updated to align with current state law, it becomes null and void, and state regulations take precedence. While cities are permitted to adopt local ADU ordinances that offer additional flexibility or address topics not covered by state law, they may not impose standards that are more restrictive than those established by the state. In response, City staff has prepared a revised ADU ordinance that aligns with current state regulations.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
Typically, when municipal code amendments are proposed, decision-makers are provided with a redlined version showing the specific changes. In this case, due to the comprehensive nature of the revisions, a summary of the key updates to the ADU ordinance is provided below:
· Location of ADU Code: The existing ADU regulations are currently located within the R-1 Single-Family Zone. The revised ordinance will relocate the ADU regulations into a standalone section of the code with its own numbering, as ADUs are not limited to single-family zones. · Increased ADU Allowance in Single-Family Zones: Previously, a maximum of one ADU and one Junior ADU (JADU) was allowed per lot. Current state law now permits an additional conversion ADU (e.g., a unit converted from an existing structure like a detached garage or storage building), allowing for a total of up to three units: one newly constructed ADU (attached or detached), one conversion ADU, and one JADU. · Expanded ADU Allowance in Multifamily Properties: For existing multifamily properties (defined as two or more units sharing a common wall), the number of allowable detached ADUs has increased. While previous regulations allowed two detached ADUs per lot, the revised code allows up to eight, depending on the number of existing units. For example, a City of Rialto Printed on 9/11/2025Page 1 of 2

multifamily property with four existing units may be eligible for up to four detached ADUs. · New and Clarified Definitions: Several new definitions have been added to improve clarity, including terms such as Major Transit Stop and State-Exempt ADUs. · Application and Timeframe Standards: A new section has been added to clarify application requirements and timelines for ADUs, distinguishing between those proposed with an existing primary dwelling and those proposed as part of entirely new developments. · Two-Story ADUs: Design standards have been added for two-story ADUs to enhance architectural articulation and protect neighboring privacy. In accordance with state law, two- story ADUs are allowed when the primary dwelling is two stories. However, state law is silent on detached two-story ADUs. The revised ordinance clarifies that detached two-story ADUs will not be permitted unless they qualify as state-exempt. · ADU Conversions: Additional guidance is included on what constitutes an ADU conversion, along with associated development and design standards. · Other Updates: The ordinance also includes revisions to standards related to utility service connections, placement of mechanical equipment, and fire sprinkler requirements. · Simplified Format: The new ordinance streamlines complex state laws and separates development standards for ADUs on single-family and multifamily properties for greater clarity and ease of use.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Economic Development Committee receive this report, discuss and provide feedback to staff.

To the extent permissible by law, and pursuant to Government Code Section 65852.2 et seq., this section regulates the development of accessory dwelling units, including junior accessory dwelling units and efficiency units, while maintaining and preserving the essential characteristics of the single-family and multi-family residential zones in which they are located.
Definitions. For purposes of implementing this section the following terms are defined as:
"Accessory dwelling unit" means an attached or a detached residential dwelling unit which provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons. It shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel as the single-family or multi-family dwelling is situated. An accessory dwelling unit also includes the following:
An efficiency unit, as defined in Section 17958.1 of Health and Safety Code; or A manufactured home, as defined in Section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code; or A junior accessory dwelling unit, as defined by Government Code Section 65852.22, which means a unit that is no more than five hundred square feet in size and contained entirely within a single-family residence. A junior accessory dwelling unit may include separate sanitation facilities, or may share sanitation facilities with the existing structure. "Living area" means the interior habitable area of a dwelling unit, including basements and attics but does not include a garage or any accessory structure. "Public transit" means a location, including, but not limited to, a bus stop or train station, where the public may access buses, trains, subways, and other forms of transportation that charge set fares, run on fixed routes, and are available to the public.
Applicability. Accessory dwelling units shall be a permitted use on all lots in single-family and multi-family residential zones. Accessory dwelling units may be attached to, or located within a proposed or existing primary dwelling, including attached garages, storage areas or similar uses, or may be detached from the proposed or existing primary dwelling. Accessory dwelling units must be on the same lot as the proposed or existing primary dwelling.
Approval; Timeframe. Accessory dwelling units require the submittal of a development application to the community development department. Applications for an accessory dwelling unit must be ministerially approved or denied within sixty days, without a hearing, after an application satisfying the following is deemed complete:

If the application for an accessory dwelling unit is submitted with an application to create a new single- family dwelling on the lot, the city may delay acting on the application for the accessory dwelling unit until it acts on the application for the new single-family dwelling. The accompanying application for the accessory dwelling unit shall be considered without discretionary review or hearing. If the applicant requests a delay, the sixty-day time period shall be tolled for the period of the delay.
Location. The city may designate areas within its jurisdiction where accessory dwelling units may be permitted or prohibited, based on the adequacy of water and sewer services and the impact of accessory dwelling units on traffic flow and public safety.
With respect to a lot, accessory dwelling units shall be located at the rear or the side of the primary unit unless it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the director of community development that the accessory dwelling unit can only be located in front of the primary unit due to extraordinary or physical constraints of the lot.
Independent Living Facility. The accessory dwelling unit shall provide for complete independent living facilities for one or more persons, including permanent provisions for living, access, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation.
Design Compatibility. The accessory dwelling unit shall be designed in a style which is architecturally compatible with the primary structure and structures in the immediate neighborhood. It shall not detract from the nature and character of the established neighborhood or primary structure in terms of architectural style, exterior materials and finishes, scale, location, or pattern of development.
Occupancy. The accessory dwelling unit may be occupied without occupancy limitations, but if rented, such rental shall be for a period greater than thirty days. Owner occupancy shall not be required of either the primary unit or the accessory dwelling unit. In the case of a junior accessory dwelling unit owner occupancy shall be required of either the primary unit or the junior accessory dwelling unit.
Subdivision. The accessory dwelling unit shall not be sold separately from the primary unit. No subdivision of any kind, including condominiums or cooperatives, shall be permitted between the primary and accessory dwelling units.
Number of Units. No more than one accessory dwelling unit and one junior accessory dwelling unit are allowed on any lot with an existing or proposed single-family residence. No more than one attached accessory dwelling unit is allowed for every four dwelling units within an existing multi-family development, and each attached accessory dwelling unit shall be located within a conversion of existing non-living space. No more than two detached accessory dwelling units are allowed on a lot with an existing multi-family residence. 8/20/25, 12:08 PM Rialto, CA Code of Ordinances

No setback shall be required for an existing structure that is converted to an accessory dwelling unit other than that which existed prior to conversion. If an existing structure is demolished and replaced with an accessory dwelling unit, an accessory dwelling unit may be constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as the demolished structure.
If a garage is converted into an accessory dwelling unit, the garage door must be removed and replaced with windows, door, or other design treatments that are consistent with the overall architectural design of the existing structure and the primary dwelling unit.
The city shall ministerially approve an application for a building permit to create within a single-family residential zone one accessory dwelling unit per single-family lot if the unit is contained within the existing space of a single-family residence or existing accessory structure, has independent exterior access from the existing residence, and the side and rear setbacks are sufficient for fire safety.
Ingress; Egress. All requirements for ingress, egress, drive aisleways, and safety shall be met in accordance with Chapter 18.58 of the Rialto Municipal Code.

The primary dwelling unit shall contain the minimum living areas required by the zone, and shall comply with all existing building code requirements and development standards, including the parking requirements.
Parking Requirements. One off-street parking space in a permitted location shall be provided per accessory dwelling unit or bedroom within the unit, whichever is less, in addition to the required parking spaces serving the primary unit. The required spaces may be provided as tandem parking on an existing driveway, provided the space is a minimum nine feet by twenty feet and does not encroach into the public right-of-way. Off-street parking shall be permitted in setback areas in locations determined by the city or through tandem parking. When a garage, carport, or covered parking structure is demolished in conjunction with the construction of an accessory dwelling unit or converted to an accessory dwelling unit, the off-street enclosed parking spaces do not need to be replaced.
However, no additional parking shall be required for an accessory dwelling unit in any of the following instances:
