[00:10:01]

OH, FILL OUT MY CARD PLEASE.

WE'RE GOOD.

WASN'T GONNA SAY ANYTHING, BUT I'LL TELL YOU.

COMING INTO THE WARMTH OF THIS ROOM, AFTER THE WARMTH OF THIS MORNING THAT WE HAD WITH THE INLAND EMPIRES, UH, CITY OF CHINO HILLS AND CHINO BRINGING, UH, A VERY FAMOUS AND WARM, UM, ATHLETE, UH, WHO, UH, BRIGHTENED OUR HEARTS, UH, HE BRIGHTENED THE HEARTS OF MY SON WHEN HE WAS GOING THROUGH CHINO HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL.

AND THEN CHAFFEE COLLEGE SAW, SAW HIM BAT PRACTICING OUT THERE AT THE FIELD THAT THEY WERE GONNA BE PLAYING ON.

AND WE ALL KNOW WHO THIS GENTLEMAN IS BECAUSE HE'S BUILT LIKE THE BRICK WALL OF CHINA.

I MEAN, IT'S RIGHT OUT THERE.

AND HE WAS WEARING THAT DAY, MY SON TOLD ME, THEN REMINDED ME TONIGHT HE WAS WEARING A T-SHIRT, THE LINKED ONE, NOTHING OVER THE SHOULDERS.

AND THEY JUST WATCHED HIM GO, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.

AND THEY WERE MARVELING OVER THE MUSCLES, THE WAY THEY MOVED AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

HE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THAT TODAY.

HE WAS JUST CLEAN AND SHARP AND STRAIGHT.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DARYL STRAWBERRY.

YEAH, DARYL STRAWBERRY.

AND, UM, AND THE EXCELLENCE OF HIS HEART THAT SHOWED TO ALL OF US THAT WERE THERE, UH, WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY AN EXPERIENCE TO, UH, THAT LAST REALLY, BECAUSE IT, WE WERE WARM TONIGHT JUST COMING IN, BEING WARMED BY, BY THE TEMPERATURE, BUT ALSO BY THE HEART, THE HEARTWARMING THAT WAS GOING ON BY THIS ONE INDIVIDUAL IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY TODAY.

SO WE'RE BLESSED TO HAVE THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BRING THIS THING TOGETHER.

THE MAYOR GAVE A A GREAT, UM, A GREAT OPENING.

WELCOME.

VERY WARM.

AND SO DID THE, UM, UH, THE MAYOR UNISA, UH, IOLA OVER THERE IN CHINO.

THE TEAM WORKS, AND YOU'VE DONE A MAR MARVELOUS JOB, AND IT JUST HAPPENS EVERY YEAR.

BUT TODAY WAS ESPECIALLY WARM.

IT WAS, IT WAS.

I AGREE.

YEAH, I THINK THOSE WERE, THERE.

WERE NOT SURPRISED, BUT JUST THE GROWTH SOMETIMES CREATES ISSUES AND THE GROWTH WAS NOT AN ISSUE WITH 750 PEOPLE THERE THIS MORNING.

[ CONFLICT OF INTEREST ANNOUNCEMENTS: Council Member abstentions shall be stated at this time for recordation on the appropriate item.]

ARE THERE ANY CONFLICT OF INTERESTS? NO.

NO? ALL GOOD.

WE'RE

[ CONSENT CALENDAR (10 ITEMS) - All matters listed on the Consent Calendar are considered routine by the City Council and may be enacted by one motion in the form listed below. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless, before the City Council votes on the motion to adopt, Members of the City Council or staff request the matter to be removed from the Consent Calendar for separate action. Removed consent items will be discussed immediately after the adoption of the balance of the Consent Calendar.]

GONNA MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR.

THERE ARE 10 ITEMS. I DO WANT TO ANNOUNCE THAT ITEM NUMBER EIGHT IS BEING PULLED FOR DISCUSSION AS IT IS BEING REINTRODUCED WITH CHANGES.

THE RED LINE VERSION OF THE CHANGES HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED ON THE DIAS, AS WELL AS AN EMAIL AND ATTACHMENT THAT WERE RECEIVED TODAY AFTER THE POSTING OF THE AGENDA.

NUMBER EIGHT IS TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE PROPOSING REASONABLE, NECESSARY REGULATIONS ON MASSAGE BUSINESSES TO PROTECT LEGITIMATE BUSINESS OWNERS AND MASSAGE PROFESSIONALS.

SO, CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS. ANYBODY WISH TO PULL BRIAN? OR GOOD? NO SIR.

MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE MOTION.

AND I'LL SECOND AND A SECOND.

[8. Adopt Ordinance proposing reasonable and necessary regulations on massage businesses to protect legitimate business owners and massage professionals as amended upon introduction entitled: “An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills, Amending Chapter 5.24 (Massages) of the Chino Hills Municipal Code and Finding That the Ordinance is Not a Project Under the California Environmental Quality Act,” second reading (Introduced February 14, 2023)]

AS AMENDED AND REIN INTRODUCED, ROD HILL WILL GIVE A PRESENTATION.

RIGHT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

UH, LATE LAST WEEK, WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM ONE OF OUR LOCAL MASSAGE BUSINESSES, UH, REQUESTING THAT WE RELOOK AT SEVERAL SECTIONS OF THE REVISED ORDINANCE THAT WE HAD PROPOSED.

UM, AFTER ADDITIONAL CONSULTATION WITH CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, WE BELIEVE IT'S APPROPRIATE TO RECOMMEND MODIFICATIONS TO SECTION 13 SUBPARAGRAPH M, WHICH WOULD ALLOW EMPLOYEES OTHER THAN MASSAGE THERAPISTS TO PERFORM NONS MASSAGE RELATED DUTIES IN AREAS OF THE BUSINESS, UM, THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY EXCLUDED FROM PREVIOUSLY.

THEY WERE ONLY ALLOWED IN THE, UH, PUBLIC WAITING AREA AND THE FRONT DESK AREA.

THIS WOULD ALLOW THEM TO PERFORM DUTIES IN THE BACK OFFICE, SUCH AS RESTOCKING AND CLEANING, UH, OF THE BUSINESS.

SO WE THOUGHT THAT WAS AN APPROPRIATE REQUEST, AND SO WE'RE MAKING THAT REQUEST TO UPDATE THE ORDINANCE.

WE DO HAVE ONE SPEAKER FOR THIS ITEM.

DAVE FREDERICK FREDRICK.

HI, DAVE.

GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.

WELCOME BACK.

YES, I KNOW, I KNOW.

THAT'S OKAY.

APPRECIATE YOUR, UH, TIME LAST, WHAT, TWO WEEKS AGO ON VALENTINE'S DAY? UM, AND I APPRECIATE YOU, UH, MAKING SOME CHANGES AND ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDINGLY.

UM, THANK YOU, UH, ROD, CUZ THAT WAS ONE OF MINE THAT I WAS GONNA MENTION.

UM, AND THIS COULD BE ALSO APPLIED TO SERVICE WORKERS.

I MEAN, HVAC TECHNICIAN.

I MEAN, THERE ARE GONNA BE OTHER PEOPLE THERE THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BUSINESS AND ALSO ARE PART OF THE LEASE ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE BUSINESS.

SO WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF OPTION ON THAT.

THE INTENT IS TO ALLOW OTHER INDIVIDUALS THROUGHOUT THE BUSINESS TO PERFORM DUTIES OTHER THAN MASSAGE DUTIES AS NEEDED.

PERFECT.

ONE IS POSSIBLY RELEVANT.

UM, LET'S SEE HERE.

THAT ONE'S IRRELEVANT.

THIS

[00:15:01]

UM, I, I ASKED ROD BEFORE THE MEETING, UH, WHAT WAS THE INTENT OF, UM, SECTION 14 V, UH, NO, UH, STRUCTURE WITH EXTERIOR WINDOWS FRONT, PUBLIC STREET, HIGHWAY, WALKWAY OR PARKING AREA BLOCK, THE ABILITY TO, TO SEE THE INTERIOR OF THE WAITING AREA.

UM, THAT INCLUDES CURTAINS, I MEAN, BLINDS, EVERYTHING.

WE GO THROUGH SOME EFFORT TO MAKE THE PLACE BE APPEALING.

AND WE HAVE MESH CURTAINS.

THEY'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, NOT BLOCKING OFF, NOT WINDOW TINT, NOT COMPLETE BLINDED OFF, BUT WE TRY TO MAKE THE PLACE BE APPEALING.

WE TRY TO MAKE IT BE ACCEPTABLE FOR GUESTS AND VISITORS.

AND I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THE INTENT OF THIS IS.

IF IT'S GOT A REASONABLE INTENT, I'LL SIT BACK DOWN.

IF IT DOESN'T, I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME ACCOMMODATIONS FOR LIMITED VISIBILITY OF SOME KIND SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO JUST RIP THE CURTAINS OUT AND MAKE THE PLACE BE WIDE OPEN.

THIS IS THE, THE FRONT AREA.

THIS ISN'T THE SHOP.

NOBODY'S SEEING ANYBODY IN THE BACK OF THE SHOP.

THIS IS JUST THE WAITING AREA, THE RECEPTION AREA, WHICH IS, I THINK IS THE CASE FOR MOST PLACES.

SO ANYWAY, THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP AND FOR LISTENING LAST WEEK AND FOR MAKING CHANGES.

I APPRECIATE IT.

GOT IT.

MM-HMM.

, THIS IS ALL ABOUT SO FAR.

DID YOU WANNA RESPOND, ROD, OR WAS THERE ANY NEED FOR A RESPONSE OR, UM, 14? NO.

UM, I, I THINK HE ADVISED US BEFORE, IT IS THE FIRST TIME WE'D SEEN THAT PROVISION.

I THINK OUR INTENT WAS NOT TO NOT ALLOW WINDOW COVERAGES.

THEY JUST COULDN'T OBSCURE THE, THE AREA'S SUPPOSED TO BE PLAINLY VISIBLE.

SO THEY HAD TO BE VERY SHEER, I'M SURE IF THAT'S THE INTENT.

IT WAS REALLY TO MAKE THE BUSINESS, THE VISIBILITY INTO THE BUSINESS MORE READILY AVAILABLE TO CODE ENFORCEMENT AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.

RIGHT.

IF NECESSARY.

SO NOTHING WAS OBSCURED.

THAT'S REALLY IT.

OFTENTIMES THESE BUSINESSES, A VERY DARK CURTAINS THAT BLOCK YOUR VIEW, YOU CAN'T SEE INSIDE THE ESTABLISHMENT UNTIL YOU GO INSIDE.

AND SO I BELIEVE BEST PRACTICES WERE THAT THE BUSINESSES DON'T DO THAT TO THEIR WINDOWS.

I GET IT.

CYNTHIA, TO, TO YOUR LAST COMMENT AND WITH WHAT ROD'S SAYING, I REALLY SUPPORT THAT.

AND AN EXAMPLE OF HOW IT WILL STILL LOOK VERY PROFESSIONAL IS, UM, HAND AND STONE MASSAGE IN THIS SMART AND FINAL CENTER.

IT'S COMPLETELY OPEN.

YOU CAN STILL BE A CUSTOMER IN THERE AND IT'S RELAXING.

AND IT, IT'S NOT JUST OPEN.

SO, I MEAN, IT CAN BE DONE.

IT IS BEING DONE.

SO I REALLY STRONGLY SUPPORT THAT PORTION OF THE ORDINANCE.

AS FAR AS THE WINDOW COVERINGS, THAT'S PRETTYING, THAT'S MM-HMM.

WAYS IT STANDS.

THAT'S HARD HEAR.

ANY COMMENTS FROM ANYBODY ELSE? RAY, YOU'RE GOOD? NO, I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE ITEM, MR. MAYOR.

WE MOVE ON TO OUR PUBLIC HEARING.

MOVED.

I'LL SECOND IT.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

THE MOTION PASSES.

FIVE ZERO.

[15. GoStoreIt Self-Storage Facility, Applicant: Madison Capital Group Management LLC; Adopt resolution approving Site Plan Review 22SPR03, Conditional Use Permit 22CUP02, and Minor Variance 22MNV01 to develop and operate a multi-story, indoor self-storage facility consisting of 118,425-square foot building, 750-square feet of office space, 542-square foot lobby, 10,818-square foot parking garage on 106,315-square feet of gross storage area on vacant property located at southeastern corner of Chino Hills Parkway and Monte Vista Avenue and determine the project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act]

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE GO STORE AT SELF STORAGE FACILITY.

APPLICANT, MADISON CAPITAL GROUP, UH, MANAGEMENT IN YOUR PLANNER, GK TWO PRESENT.

OKAY, YOUR HONOR, RYAN, GOOD EVENING MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS THE GHOST STORAGE, SELF STORAGE FACILITY, WHICH INCLUDES THREE ENTITLEMENT APPLICATIONS.

SITE PLAN REVIEW, 22 SPR ZERO THREE, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 22 C B ZERO TWO, AND MINOR VARIANCE 22 MNV ZERO ONE LITTLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF CHINO HILLS PARKWAY AND MONTE VISTA AVENUE.

IT'S DESIGNATED IN BOTH THE GENERAL PLAN AND THE CITY'S ZONING MAP FOR BUSINESS PARK USES.

ITS EXISTING USE IS VACANT, AND IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

HOWEVER, THE CHINO CREEK, UH, CARBON CANYON FLOOD CONTROL CHANNEL OCCUPIES A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE PROPERTY CUTTING THROUGH ON THE EASTERN SIDE, AS WELL AS A FEW PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENTS THAT ARE LOCATED IN THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE SITE.

CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION ON THE, THE AREA THAT'S BUILDABLE? WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S IS IT AN ACRE? IT'S JUST OVER AN ACRE, I BELIEVE ABOUT OVER 50 AN 5,000 SQUARE FEET.

IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THE PROJECT IS BEING PROPOSED BY MADISON CAPITAL GROUP MANAGEMENT L LLC, AND THE OVERALL PROJECT AREA IS ABOUT 1.78 ACRES WITH ABOUT 1.15 ACRES OF THAT BEING DEVELOPABLE.

THE PROJECT CONSISTS OF A 118,425 SQUARE FOOT SELF STORAGE FACILITY CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 106,000 SQUARE FEET OF STORAGE AREA.

AN OFFICE OCCUPYING 750 SQUARE FEET, AN ELEVATOR LOBBY OF A LITTLE OVER 500 SQUARE FEET AND A PARKING GARAGE OF ALMOST 11,000 SQUARE FEET.

THE PROPOSED PROJECT WOULD BE SIX STORIES IN TOTAL WITH TWO OF THOSE BEING

[00:20:01]

BASEMENT LEVELS AND RE WOULD REACH A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF ABOUT 58 FEET.

THIS HEIGHT IS SIMILAR TO THE HOTELS AT THE RINCON, WHICH RE REACH A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 61 FEET, OR ST.

PAUL, THE APOSTLE CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHERE THE MAIN ROOF LINE IS ABOUT 64 AND A HALF FEET.

THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THE PROPOSED PROJECT CONFORMS TO THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OF THE BUSINESS PARK ZONING DISTRICT, WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION BEING THE PARKING, UH, AS WE'LL GET TO IN JUST A MOMENT HERE.

BUT IT DOES COMPLY WITH THE SETBACKS, THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT, LANDSCAPE COVERAGE, AND OTHER APPLICABLE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OF THE CODE.

SO, AS HINTED AT ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, THE PROJECT DOES PROPOSE A MINOR VARIANCE TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED PARKING FROM 46 SPACES TO 34.

THE BASIS FOR THIS VARIANCE IS THAT THE FLOOD CONTROL CHANNEL, AS WELL AS THE EASEMENTS, THE NARROW SHAPE OF THE PROPERTY AND THE LIMITED ACCESS RESULTING FROM ITS PROXIMITY TO THE INTERSECTION OF CHIMA HILLS PARKWAY AND MONTE VISTA AVENUE, UH, SIGNIFICANTLY CONSTRAINS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE.

IT REDUCES THEIR OP THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PARKING TO BE PROVIDED ON THE SURFACE.

THEREFORE, THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED TO REDUCE THAT PARKING AGAIN, DOWN TO 34 SPACES BEING PROPOSED.

AS PART OF STAFF'S REVIEW, WE DID, UH, REQUEST AND HAVE ONE OF OUR CONSULTANTS PREPARE A SHARED PARKING, NOT SHARED PARKING, JUST A PARKING ANALYSIS, NOT SHARING IT, UH, WHICH DETERMINED THAT THERE'S A PEAK PARKING DEMAND OF 15 SPACES, AND THAT IS BASED UPON A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE, TAKING THE OVERALL PARKING DEMAND AND ADDING A FEW ADDITIONAL SPACES FOR THE OFFICE.

UH, SO AT THEIR PEAK, THEY ANTICIPATE 15 SPACES WILL BE REQUIRED.

AND AGAIN, THE PROJECT IS PROPOSING 34.

SO STAFF DOES NOT ANTICIPATE THAT THERE WILL BE A PARKING DEFICIT OR A PARKING IMPACT OF SURROUNDING USES.

THE PROJECT IS DESIGNED IN A CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL STYLE USING CLEAN LINES, SIMPLE MASSING.

IT'S CONSISTENT WITH OTHER BUSINESS PARK PROJECT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA, UH, INCLUDES ELEMENTS THAT ARE INTENDED TO REDUCE THE VISUAL MASS OF THE PROJECT, AS WELL AS ITS HEIGHT, INCLUDING A 10 FOOT HORIZONTAL OFFSET AT THE HIGHER LEVELS TO PROVIDE A KIND OF A, A ROOF LINE AT THAT LEVEL, VARIATIONS IN THE WALL PLANE, AND USE OF A VARIETY OF MATERIALS AND COLORS.

THE SITE WILL BE SERVED BY TWO DRIVEWAYS ON MONTE VISTA AVENUE.

DUE TO THE PROXIMITY TO THE INTERSECTION, BOTH DRIVEWAYS HAVE TO BE LOCATED IN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE PROJECT WITH THE NORTHERLY DRIVEWAY BEING LIMITED TO RIGHT IN AND RIGHT OUT TURNING MOVEMENTS ONLY TO ENSURE THAT THIS IS THE CASE.

THE PROJECT IS REQUIRED TO CONSTRUCT A RAISED MEDIAN DENOTED HERE ON THIS SLIDE BY THAT RED AREA ON THE ON MONTE VISTA AVENUE TO PREVENT, UH, LEFT TURN AND LEFT INTO AND OUT OF THAT PROJECT.

HOWEVER, THE SOUTHERNLY DRIVEWAY WOULD BE FULL ACCESS, BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TURN MOVEMENTS.

THE PROJECT IS ANTICIPATED TO GENERATE APPROXIMATELY 172 DAILY TRIPS, INCLUDING 11 TRIPS IN THE MORNING, PEAK HOUR, AND 18 TRIPS IN THE AFTERNOON PEAK HOUR.

THERE WERE NO ADVERSE EFFECTS TO INTERSECTIONS OR TRAFFIC FLOW IN THE SURROUNDING AREA THAT WERE ANTICIPATED BY THAT TRAFFIC STUDY.

STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PROS PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT AS AN INFILL PROJECT.

IT MEETS THE CHARACTERIZATIONS FOR AN INFILL PROJECT AS DEFINED IN THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, AND THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS SUPPORTED.

AND FOR THESE REASONS, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL RECEIVE THE STAFF REPORT, OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND RECEIVE PUBLIC TESTIMONY AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION, FINDING THAT THE PROJECT IS IN FACT EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND APPROVING THE PROJECT ENTITLEMENTS.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE COUNCIL MAY HAVE.

ADDITIONALLY, I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT AND THEIR TEAM IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AS WELL.

ALRIGHT, NOW, A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE, UH, SITE ACCESS AND TRAFFIC DIAGRAM THAT SHOWS, OF COURSE, THE FOUR STORY BUILDING.

AND THEN CAN YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE COVERED PARKING? THAT, UH, IT'S GOING TO BE TWO, UH, TWO STORIES BELOW GROUND, IS THAT CORRECT? THERE'S TWO STORAGE AREAS THAT ARE BELOW GROUND, HOWEVER, THE COVERED PARKING IS AT GRADE.

SO IF WE LOOK AT THIS EXHIBIT HERE, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE PARKING STALLS OUTLINED THERE.

UH, YOU WOULD ENTER FROM EITHER DRIVEWAY AND DRIVE IT UNDERNEATH THE BUILDING AND THERE ARE TOTAL OF 21 SPACES WITHIN THAT GARAGE.

SO WILL, WILL THERE BE PARKING ON TOP OF THAT COVERED PARKING AREA? UH, NO, IT'D BE ADDITIONAL STORAGE FACILITIES ABOVE.

SO IT WOULD BE STAFFED FROM 8:00 AM TO 6:00 PM AND CUSTOMERS WOULD HAVE ACCESS FROM 6:00 AM TO 10:00 PM OKAY.

AND WE, UH, TALKED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND, AND THE TRAFFIC COUNT AND THE DAILY, UM, PARKING NEEDS THAT SUPPORT REDUCED PARKING.

UH, WHAT ARE THE HOURS OF OPERATION? UH, THE HOURS OF OPERATION.

THEY HAVE A, A COMBINATION OF HOURS.

SOME WOULD BE FOR WHEN IT WAS STAFFED, AND THEN THERE ARE ADDITIONAL HOURS DURING WHICH CUSTOMERS CAN ACCESS THE FACILITY USING A CUSTOM COMBINATION KEY CODE.

BEAR WITH ME ONE SECOND.

GET THOSE.

[00:25:03]

ALRIGHT.

ONLY, ONLY QUESTION I HAD RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU, BRIAN.

ANYTHING? NOPE.

ANYTHING BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC? SURE.

THANK YOU MR. ME.

UM, RYAN, UM, YOU HAVE SOME APARTMENTS JUST, UH, SOUTH THAT LOCATION.

WHAT'S THE HEIGHT OF THE APARTMENT BUILDING? IS IT, SO THE HIGHEST ELEMENTS OF THAT APARTMENT BUILDING IS, ARE ABOUT 45 FEET.

AND SO THIS WILL BE WHAT, AGAIN? THIS WILL BE 58 AT A SO VERY CLOSE.

IT'S NOT GONNA LOOK OUT OF PLACE.

IT, IT'S FAIRLY CONSISTENT.

IT IS A LITTLE TALLER THAN THOSE EXISTING APARTMENT DEVELOPMENTS.

UH, BUT IT, IT'S SIMILAR.

IT'S OVER THE CORRECT TWO APARTMENTS AND THERE'S ABOUT A 200, 200 TO 250 FEET OF SEPARATION BETWEEN THE TWO.

UH, THE APARTMENTS AND ALSO THE WAREHOUSING.

JUST, UH, BEYOND THAT, WE WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH TRUCKS PARKING ON THE STREET.

UM, WELL, WE HAVE NO TRUCK.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY GETTING TO THE CORNER THERE, IT SHOULD BE, IT COULD BE CONCERN, UH, BE GOOD VISIBILITY GOING IN AND OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY.

ARE WE GONNA MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO TRUCK PARKING OUTSIDE OF THIS, UH, FACILITY? SO THERE IS A SITE VISIBILITY THAT WAS LOOKED AT AS PART OF THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS AND THAT THE STAFF WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT WITH OUR ENGINEERING DIVISION AS WE WORK ON THE STREET IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

SO, BECAUSE WE DID HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH THE WAREHOUSING, JUST SO YOU KNOW.

SO KEEP THAT IN MIND.

WE'RE GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND DOES ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK INCLUDING THE APPLICANT? YES.

COME ON.

NOT A CARD, BUT IT'S OKAY.

THAT'S OKAY.

WE'RE GOOD.

HONORABLE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE THE COUNCIL, I'M ADAM LINZ, UH, PARTNER WITH MADISON KAPPA GROUP OF THE WEST COAST.

UM, APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

UH, I WANT TO THANK RYAN, PUT A LOT OF HARD WORK INTO THIS, AND THIS IS THE CULMINATION OF 18 MONTHS OF HARD WORK FOR OUR TEAM AND, UH, STAFF.

SO, UH, APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THEY'VE DONE, UH, TO GET US HERE TONIGHT.

UM, I THOUGHT HE DID A GREAT JOB, SO I WON'T, UH, RECOVER, UH, UH, ANY OF THOSE.

UM, JUST A QUICK COUPLE BULLETS ON OUR COMPANY, UH, MADISON CAPITAL GROUP.

WE ARE OUR WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY GHOST STORE AT, UH, WE OWN AND OPERATE APPROXIMATELY 85 STORAGE FACILITIES ON A NATIONAL BASIS.

SO IT'S A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION.

YOU KNOW, WE, WE TAKE PRIDE IN DELIVERING, YOU KNOW, TOP-NOTCH CLASS, A SAFE, SECURE STORAGE, UH, OPTIONS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.

JUST A COUPLE THINGS I WANTED TO POINT OUT.

ONE, UH, IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO US TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

UH, WE WENT OUT AND KNOCKED DOORS, UH, IN THE MOBILE HOME PARK ACROSS MONTE VISTA.

LEFT SOME FLYERS BEHIND, UM, EVEN GOT A, UH, I THINK IT WAS INCLUDED, A, A PETITION WITH FOUR SIGNATURES OF SUPPORT.

WE OPENED UP AN EMAIL ADDRESS THAT WE INCLUDED ON THE FLYER.

AND TO DATE, THERE HAVE BEEN, UH, NO, UH, NO EMAILS PERIOD, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.

SO, UM, AND I BELIEVE THERE WERE NO OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS, UM, IN OUR PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING, UH, IN OPPOSITION.

UM, YOU KNOW, WHY THIS SITE WE'RE VERY MINDFUL ABOUT WHERE WE LOCATE, UH, YOU KNOW, HIRE BETTER USES THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, CREATE A SERVICE OR, OR, UH, A DESTINATION FOR YOUR CITIZENS.

UM, WE DON'T LOOK AT THOSE SITES, UNFORTUNATELY, RIGHT? UH, AND SO WE AVOID THESE PRIME KEY INTERSECTIONS, REVENUE GENERATORS, YOU KNOW, TAX GENERATORS FOR THE CITY.

UM, AND, UH, SO WHEN WE CAME ACROSS A SITE, IT'D BEEN VACANT FOR 40 YEARS.

IT'S AN ODD SHAPE.

35% OF IT'S ENCUMBERED BY THE FLOOD CONTROL CHANNEL, UH, OTHER UTILITIES.

SO, YOU KNOW, FOR STORAGE GUYS, THAT'S A, THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY.

AND SO, UM, WE, WE DID A LOT OF WORK WORKING WITH STAFF TO, TO DEFINE AND, AND GET A PROJECT THAT, THAT MET OR EXCEEDED THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS SET FORTH.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, I HAVE A MINUTE LEFT HERE.

SO, UH, WE ARE COMMITTED TO MAKING A MEANINGFUL INVESTMENT IN BEING AN ACTIVE, CONTRIBUTING MEMBER TO THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS.

UM, YOU SEE, WE WENT TO REALLY GREAT LENGTHS TO EXCEED SOME OF THOSE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

UM, WE'RE ALSO, UH, YOU KNOW, MAKING SOME PRETTY MEANINGFUL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, CURB GUTTERS, SIDEWALKS, UM, STREET LIGHTS, FIRE HYDRANTS, WATERLINE EXTENSIONS.

I JUST DROVE BY THE SITE BEFORE I CAME OVER HERE TODAY, AND IT'S, UH, SOMEWHAT OF A, A BLACK HOLE RIGHT NOW.

SO I THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO ACTIVATE IN A GOOD WAY, UH, WITH A REALLY LOW TRIP, UH, YOU KNOW, A TRIP GENERATOR.

IT'S VERY LOW.

AND SO, UM, WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.

HOPE YOU'LL GIVE US CONSIDERATION HERE TONIGHT AND APPROVE THE FACILITY.

A COUPLE QUICK QUESTIONS, IF YOU DON'T MIND.

ABSOLUTELY.

I'M ASSUMING YOU HAVE LIKE ONE FREIGHT SIZE TYPE ELEVATOR, UH, THAT SERVES THE FOUR, THE DUAL DUAL CABS.

OH, OKAY.

UH, AND BOTH, YEAH.

[00:30:01]

FREIGHT SIZE.

AND ABOUT WHAT SIZE UNITS WILL YOU BE? DO YOU, CAN YOU GIVE US AN IDEA OF THE NUMBER AND THE SIZES OF THOSE UNITS? SO TOTAL UNITS IS, UH, I BELIEVE 829.

AND THEY RANGED IN SIZE FROM, UH, FIVE BY FIVE SUITE BY, UH, FIVE BY FIVE UP TO 10 BY 30 FEET.

OH, WOW.

YEAH.

SO A GOOD RANGE OF OPTIONS, UH, SUITING ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS.

I'M JUST GLAD TO SEE THAT SITE BEING CORRECTED.

YEAH.

THE REASON I ENCOURAGE THIS TO BE PULLED, FIRST OF ALL, I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO GENERICALLY APPROVE IT, EVEN THOUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD ON SOMETHING.

THAT'S SUCH A BIG STRUCTURE.

BUT ALSO I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEIGHT HEARING SIX STORIES, ALTHOUGH I KNOW TWO WERE THEORETICALLY BELOW GRADE, BUT I JUST, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE PAYING ATTENTION TO IT AND THAT WE BROUGHT IT TO ATTENTION TO THE PUBLIC.

ALSO, THAT THIS WAS A, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT TALLER BUILDING THAN WE'RE USED TO IN THE CHINO VALLEY, AS WE REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING SUPER SIZABLE THAT MAY BE CHANGING AS THE DECADE WEARS ON AND BEING FORCED TO BUILD UP.

BUT FOR NOW, THAT WAS JUST MY, MY BIGGEST CONCERN.

IT IS A CHALLENGING, FOR SURE, CHALLENGING, UH, PARCEL, AND I'M GLAD TO SEE IT'S GONNA BE PUT TO GOOD USE.

I THINK THAT'S IT.

ANYBODY ELSE WISH YOU TO SPEAK ON THE SUBJECT? NOW IS THE TIME WE'RE IN A PUBLIC HEARING.

GOOD.

SEE, NO ONE ELSE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT BACK UP TO OUR, UH, ACCOUNTS MEMBERS.

ANYBODY ELSE? I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, I THINK THIS IS A PERFECT USE FOR THAT PARCEL.

IT'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, TO WHAT RYAN SAID, BEEN EMPTY FOR, OR WHAT ADAM SAID, BEEN EMPTY FOR 40 YEARS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S SUCH A, A FUNKY SHAPE.

YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT WE'RE ABLE TO GET A QUALITY PRODUCT, LIKE IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY IS A GOOD THING FOR THE CITY.

THERE'S A CLEAR NEED FOR IT.

SO, YEAH.

I'LL, I'LL, I'LL, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE THE ITEM AND I'LL SECOND.

WE HAVE MOTION TO SECOND 80, FURTHER DISCUSSION.

ON TO OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER REPORT, OUR PIO O NICOLE.

WE ARE VOTING MOTION PASSES.

FIVE ZERO.

EXCELLENT.

WELL, CONGRATULATIONS.

WELCOME TO ALL RIGHT.

[ COUNCIL REPORTS Council Member Johsz West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District Board Council Member Marquez Cal Cities (League of California Cities) Board of Directors Latino Caucus Legislative Committee Southern California Association of Governments Legislative Communications and Member Committee Transportation Policy Committee Southern California Regional Rail Authority (Metrolink) Board]

ON, UH, TO OUR COUNCIL REPORTS.

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.

UM, IT'S OKAY.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.

SO BRIAN, UH, WE DID NOT HAVE OUR WEST VALLEY MOSQUITO VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICT BOARD MEETING TODAY.

OH, OKAY.

THIS COULD BE QUICK.

WE'LL LEAVE IT UP TO RAY TO, UH, POPULATE THIS SPACE.

WELL, THE GOOD THING IS I LEFT ALL MY NOTES AT HOME, SO THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING.

FIRST OF ALL, I WANNA CONGRATULATE BRIAN, UH, THE GOVERNANCE TRANSPARENCY AND LABOR RELATIONS.

YOU NOW SIT ON THAT COMMITTEE.

HOPEFULLY IT'S GOOD INFORMATION.

I APPRECIATE IT.

JUST THE INFORMATION FOR YOU.

THE NEXT POLICY COMMITTEE IS ACTUALLY MARCH 16TH AND 17TH.

WE ALSO HAVE A PLANNING COMMISSION ACADEMY MARCH 29TH THROUGH THE 31ST.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE SENDING OUR PLANNING COMMISSIONERS THERE.

UH, CITY LEADERS SUMMIT FOR EVERYBODY UP HERE, APRIL 14TH THROUGH 15TH.

POLICY COMMITTEE, AGAIN, JUNE 22ND, 23RD.

OUR ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN SACRAMENTO WILL BE SEPTEMBER 20TH THROUGH THE 22ND LEAGUE LEADERS CONFERENCE IS NOVEMBER 29TH THROUGH DECEMBER 1ST.

AND THEN THE FIRE CHIEF, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A LEADERSHIP SEMINAR.

WE'VE TALKED TO THE CHIEF BEFORE ABOUT THIS, BUT IT'S GONNA BE DECEMBER 13TH AND 14, MISSION BAY RESORT.

AND I THINK YOU GUYS COULD GO THROUGH, THROUGH THE CITY, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

SO, UH, AT THE UH, BOARD MEETING FOR CAL CITIES, WE TALKED ABOUT, UH, FOUR PRIORITIES.

WE TALKED ABOUT PROTECT AND EXPAND INVESTMENTS TO PREVENT AND REDUCE HOMELESSNESS LEGISLATION.

WE TALKED ABOUT AB 7 99 REVIS BILL, HOMELESS ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESULT ACT.

UM, ALL THIS MONEY THAT'S BEEN SPENT ON HOMELESSNESS, WE WANT, UH, BANK FOR OUR BUCKS.

SO THEY'RE MAKING IT MORE ACCOUNTABLE.

IF YOU'RE GONNA GET MONEY FROM THE STATE, YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF A MEASURING COMPONENT.

UH, WE TALKED ABOUT AB FIVE 50 CHIRO, HOMELESS PUBLIC HEARING.

AGAIN, I JUST SAID THAT WE DID SPEND $3.4 BILLION IN HOMELESSNESS, UH, THIS PAST YEAR.

UM, AVO ADVOCACY PRIORITY NUMBER TWO, INCREASED SUPPLY AND AFFORDABILITY AT HOUSING WHILE RETAINING LOCAL DECISION MAKING OR LOCAL CONTROL.

WE TALKED ABOUT LEGISLATION, SB FOUR, WIENER BILL, HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTE, AND RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS.

UM, SORT OF BY RIGHT DEVELOPMENT, UM, AB FIVE 10 JACKSON LOCAL LAND TRUSTS.

UH, THERE'S, THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL MONIES IN THE BUDGET THIS YEAR, SINCE WE ARE UPSIDE DOWN BY 22 BILLION.

UM, THE COMMITTEE THAT I CHAIR, PUBLIC SAFETY, UH, CALIFORNIA COMMUNITIES, UH, WE TALKED ABOUT LEGISLATION AB 23.

UM, TALKED ABOUT THREAT THIEVES, SHOPLIFTING AMOUNTS, LOWERING IT FROM NINE 50 DOWN TO 400, AB 75 HOOVER SHOPLIFTING, INCREASING PENALTIES FOR PRIOR CRIMES CUZ PEOPLE SHOPLIFT AND THEN NOTHING HAPPENS.

SO THERE'LL BE SOME SORT OF, UH, NEXUS IN THAT AB 3 29, UH, PENALTIES FOR SHOPLIFTING AND PETTY THEFT.

AB 3 35 ALANIS PROPOSITION 47 TOTAL REPEAL, WHICH I HOPE WILL MOVE FORWARD IN THE, IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

WE TALKED ABOUT LEGISLATION AB 52, UH, BUDGET.

IT DID QUALIFY FOR NOVEMBER, 2024.

IT'S, UH, GONNA BE AN EARLY FEBRUARY CALC CITIES, ALONG WITH LOCAL COALITIONS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, LABOR, PUBLIC SAFETY, EDUCATION INFRASTRUCTURE.

ADVOCATES STRONGLY OPPOSE THIS INITIATIVE THAT WILL RESTRICT LOCAL AUTHORITY TO RAISE REVENUES FOR LOCAL SERVICES AND JEOPARDIZE EXISTING REVENUES FOR SOME COMMUNITIES.

UM, I BELIEVE WE DID A LETTER OF SUPPORT, BUT, UH, ONE OF THE REPORT I GOT FROM CALC CITIES, WE WEREN'T MENTIONED AS A CITY.

SO HOPEFULLY OUR LEGISLATION LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND HOPEFULLY HAVE A

[00:40:01]

LETTER OF OPPOSITION.

AND, UH, THE LAST THING, REAL FAST CITY PACK.

UM, AS YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THESE BALLOT MEASURES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD, UM, WE HAVE CITI PACK.

SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE, UH, CITI PACK, WHICH IS THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITY'S POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE FUNDS, CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES TO PROTECT LOCAL CONTROL AT THE BALLOT BOX, SEVERAL BALLOT MEASURES IN 2024, LOOMING WITH THE POTENTIAL TO GREATLY IMPACT CITIES.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION HELPS TO ENSURE THAT OUR VOICES WHO ARE DOING THE UPCOMING ELECTION CYCLE, I DO GIVE MONEY TO THIS.
