UH, SO THANK YOU VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT GOES TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS AS WELL.
UM, I JUST WANTED TO CALL IN AND THANK, UH, THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS FOR EVERYTHING THAT IT DOES FOR VETERANS, INCLUDING MY FRONT YARD SIGNS WAS ABSOLUTELY PLACED IN A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO BY A STAFF MEMBER OR THE CITY HONORING THE VETERAN LIVES HERE, UH, WAS, UH, A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE AND A WARM MY HEART.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT.
AND FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAS LED UP TO THAT, THE CITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON THE SIDE OF THE VETERANS AND THE LOVED ONES AND THE MILITARY AND THEIR LOVED ONES.
SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT AND FOR WHAT'S COMING UP TOMORROW, UH, ON VETERANS DAY, UH, UH, WONDERFUL CHALLENGES THAT ARE BEING GIVEN OUT AS BREAKFAST EARLY IN THE MORNING, UH, BE GLAD TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT AND, UH, NEXT TO THE MONUMENT THERE, BUT IT'S A SMALL MEMORIAL THAT IS JUST ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.
UM, THANK YOU, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND MAYORS, UH, OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, UH, THE WONDERFUL WORK THAT YOU DO IN HONORING PURPLE HEART VETERANS.
I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING THAT LATER ON.
UH, BUT UH, STILL IN, IN MY EXPERIENCE, UH, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE INVOLVED IN BEING PERSONALLY HONORED WITH THE MEMBER OF THE PURPLE HEART, UH, STAFF, UH, IN HONORING PEOPLE WHO, WHO, UM, HAD TO PAY A PRICE FOR FREEDOM, AND WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT PRICES ARE PAID FOR FREEDOM.
I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT THAT.
UH, WHEN YOU LATER ON IN THE MEETING, THE LAST THING I'D LIKE TO BRING UP REAL QUICK IS THAT TOMORROW BEING VETERAN'S DAY, I HAD THE HONOR OF BEING ASKED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CITY OF CHINOS, UM, VETERAN'S DAY CEREMONY, UH, WHICH WAS DONE AT VIRTUAL FILMING A COUPLE OF WEEKENDS AGO.
AND, UH, I WAS ASKED TO BE ONE OF THE GUEST SPEAKERS.

IT'LL BE THE LINK WILL BE THERE FOR YOU OR IN CHINO.

AND, UH, THE ITEM, UH, 15 THAT WE'LL BE HANDLING PRETTY SHORTLY IN OUR CONSENT CALENDAR IS AUTHORIZING INSTALLATION OF PURPLE HEART CITY SIGNAGE AT DESIGNATED CITIES FACILITIES.
AND YOU BEING A, UH, PURPLE HEART HONOR RECIPIENT.
UH, JUST SO YOU KEEP, KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN WE VOTE ON THAT SHORTLY.
IF THERE ARE NO OTHER SPEAKERS, WE'LL,
[ 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.]
UH, WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR, UH, THE INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE.SO AT THIS TIME, IF ANY COUNCIL MEMBER WISHES TO PULL AN ITEM TO BE DISCUSSED, WE WOULD DO THAT FIRST.
UH, BRIAN REMOTE? ANY ITEMS? NO, MR. MAN.
THEN I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ACCEPT ITEMS NINE THROUGH 18.
[19. Discuss and provide direction on establishing campaign contribution limits, potential mechanisms for administration and enforcement, or, take no action, thereby allowing default campaign limits set forth in Government Code Section 85301(a) to apply beginning January 1, 2021 to comply with AB 571]
OKAY.MOVING ONTO THE DISCUSSION CALENDAR.
THIS PORTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA IS FOR ALL MATTERS WHERE STAFF AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IS ANTICIPATED.
PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND VIA ZOOM OR DIAL STAR.
STAR NINE TO BE SELECTED FOR THE MEETING QUEUE INDIVIDUAL AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION IS LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES.
FIRST ITEM IS DISCUSS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION ON ESTABLISHING CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION,
[00:25:01]
LIMITS, POTENTIAL MECHANISMS FOR ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OR TAKE NO ACTION WHEREBY ALLOWING DEFAULT CAMPAIGN LIMITS SET FORTH IN GOVERNMENTAL CODE SECTION EIGHT FIVE THREE ZERO ONE A TO APPLY BEGINNING JANUARY 1ST, 2021 TO COMPLY WITH AB FIVE 71, UH, WHO WILL BE MAKING THIS REPORT.MAYOR BENNETT, UH, CHERYL BALL'S, OUR CITY CLERK, UH, TOOK THE LEAD IN DEVELOPING THE OPTIONS FOR OUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT SHELLS.
SO SHE WILL LEAD US IN THE DISCUSSION.
ALL RIGHT, CHERYL, IN 2019, AB FIVE 71 WAS ADOPTED DUE TO CONCERNS THAT LARGE CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS COULD CREATE A SERIOUS RISK OF ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED CORRUPTION EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST, 2021, AB FIVE 71 WILL ESTABLISH DEFAULT CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION LIMITS FOR CITIES AND COUNTIES THAT HAVE NOT ADOPTED THEIR OWN LIMITS IN LINE WITH CANDIDATES FOR STATE AND ASSEMBLY OF NO MORE THAN $4,700 ADJUSTED IN JANUARY OF ODD NUMBER YEARS, ACCORDING TO THE CPI.
SO FOR ANY CITY OR COUNTY THAT HAS NOT ESTABLISHED ANY, UM, CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION LIMITS AT THIS TIME, IT PRESERVES THE ABILITY OF CITIES AND COUNTIES TO ADOPT THEIR OWN CONTRIBUTION LIMITS, EITHER HIGHER OR LOWER.
AND IF A CITY ALREADY HAS A CONTRACT CONTRIBUTION LIMIT IN PLACE, THOSE WOULD REMAIN IN EFFECT.
CURRENTLY THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS DOES NOT HAVE ANY CONTRIBUTION LIMITS AS SUCH.
THE COUNCIL MUST DECIDE WHETHER TO TAKE NO ACTION, ACCEPTING THE DEFAULT PROVISIONS OF AB FIVE 71, OR ADOPT YOUR OWN LOCAL ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION KEY POINTS.
IF THE CITY DOES NOTHING, IS THAT THE DEFAULT CAMPAIGN LIMIT WOULD BE $4,700 BEGINNING JANUARY 1ST, 21 PER, UH, CON CONTRIBUTOR.
SO THAT'S AN AGGREGATE, UH, FOR THAT FOR THE YEAR SUBJECT TO THE CPI ADJUSTMENT AND THE FPPC, WHICH IS THE FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION WOULD REMAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE DEFAULT LIMITS.
SO CURRENTLY THE CITY CLERK IS THE FILING OFFICERS, OFFICER OF THOSE, UM, CAMPAIGN STATEMENTS THAT WOULD REMAIN THE SAME.
CURRENTLY, THE FPPC ENFORCES ANY VIOLATIONS OF THOSE CAMPAIGN FILINGS THAT WOULD REMAIN THE SAME.
IF WE WERE TO KNOW, JUST DO NOTHING AND ALLOW AB FIVE 71 TO COME INTO PLAY.
IF THE CITY ADOPTS ITS OWN LIMITS, IT CAN BE EITHER HIGHER OR LOWER, OR THE CITY CAN CHOOSE TO REMAIN SILENT AS FAR AS AN AMOUNT IS CONCERNED.
AND THEN JUST KEEP THE STATUS QUO, WHICH WE HAVE CURRENTLY.
IF THEY DO THAT, THEN THE CITY WOULD BECOME RESPONSIBLE FOR ADMINISTERING THAT PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIMITS, WHICH WOULD CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE.
AS FAR AS THE ENFORCEMENT IS CONCERNED, FPPC WOULD NO LONGER BE HANDLING THAT.
UM, AT THIS TIME WE'RE ASKING THE COUNCIL TO CHOOSE ONE OF THREE OPTIONS, SO YOU CAN TAKE NO ACTION, THEREBY ALLOWING THE DEFAULTS STATE CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION LIMITS OF 4,700 TO APPLY AND ALLOWING THE FPPC TO REMAIN AS THE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.
YOU CAN ESTABLISH CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION LIMITS EITHER HIGHER OR LOWER THAN AB FIVE 71, OR YOU CAN AFFIRM IT.
AFFIRMATIVELY ESTABLISHED, NO LIMIT PRESUMED PRESERVING THE STATUS QUO.
IF OPTION TWO OR THREE ARE SELECTED, HE WOULD THEN NEED TO DIRECT STAFF TO RETURN WITH AN ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION DETERMINING WHAT THE PREFERRED CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION WOULD BE AND A POLICY FOR THE ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE NEW LIMITS PRIOR TO DECEMBER 31ST OF THIS YEAR.
CAN WE HAVE OPEN DISCUSSION FROM THE COUNCIL'S PERSPECTIVE OR, WELL, FIRST OF ALL, IS THERE ANY SPEAKER FROM THE PUBLIC THAT IS WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I DO NOT SEE ANY HANDS RAISED AT THIS TIME.
MARK, WHAT, WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND WE DO HERE? THE POINT I WANTED TO MAKE IS, UM, UH, WELL FIRST IT WAS A COUNCIL POLICY CALLED BY THE COUNCIL.
NOW, IF, UH, IF THE COUNCIL GOES WITH THE DEFAULT LIMITS, THEN, UH, THE FPPC WILL ENFORCE THOSE AT NO CHARGE THE CITY.
UH, IF THE CITY ESTABLISHED ITS OWN LIMIT, THEN THE CITY WILL HAVE TO EITHER ENFORCE THOSE THROUGH, UH, ITS OWN LEGAL COUNCIL OR THROUGH A CONTRACT WITH THE FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION.
THE FPPC IT'S UNCLEAR EXACTLY WHAT THAT COSTS WOULD BE THROUGH THE FPPC.
UM, WE'RE HEARING ESTIMATES IN THE 50 TO $60,000 RANGE, UH, PER YEAR, BUT THAT, THAT, THAT'S JUST AN ESTIMATE.
WE DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN, IF YOU ESTABLISH NO LIMIT, THEN THERE WOULD BE NOTHING TO ENFORCE.
UM, SO THOSE ARE COUNCIL DECISIONS AND, AND TO ALSO PROVIDE A LITTLE MORE CONTEXT, THIS, THESE ARE, UM, LIMITS ON CONTRIBUTIONS TO INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS.
UH, INDIVIDUALS CAN STILL MAKE, UH, CONTRIBUTIONS
[00:30:01]
TO POLITICAL ACTION COMMISSIONS OR COMMITTEES, WHICH THE COUNCIL MEMBERS CAN NOT DIRECTLY CONTROL, BUT CAN MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS TO COUNCIL MEMBERS.AND SO THERE ARE A LOT OF, UM, LEGAL ARE BASED UPON A LOT OF CASE LAW AND, AND, UM, OTHER STATUTES, THERE ARE OTHER WAYS THAT MONEY MAKES ITS WAY AROUND TO SUPPORTING CANDIDATES TO BE CLEAR.
SO IT'S NOT QUITE AS SIMPLE AS THIS, UH, UH, ASSEMBLY BILL MAKES IT ALSO, THERE ARE SOME, I EXPECT SOME LEGAL CHALLENGES TO PORTIONS OF THIS IS PARTICULARLY ON THE LOANS, UM, BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME SUPREME US SUPREME COURT CASES THAT I THINK ARE IN CONFLICT WITH THESE PERSONAL LOAN ISSUES.
BUT, UM, I WOULD EXPECT, WE'LL SEE SOME LITIGATION OVER THESE, SOME OF THESE OVER THE COMING MONTHS OR YEARS.
THE OBVIOUS QUESTION, IF WE GO AHEAD AND VOTE TO GO WITH THE DEFAULT $4,700, IT'S BASICALLY TAKEN OUT OF OUR HANDS FPPC WILL BE THE, UH, AGENCY THAT WILL ENFORCE ANY VIOLATION OF THAT.
IT WILL NOT COST OUR CITY STAFF TIME OR DOLLARS, UH, TO REGULATE THAT.
AND THEN IT WILL BE UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL, UH, CANDIDATES FOR ANY OFFICE TO BE ASSURED THAT THEY AND INFORM THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MAKING DONATIONS TO THEIR CAMPAIGN.
THAT THAT IS THE LIMIT, UH, WITH, IS THAT SAFE, SAFE TO SAY IT THAT WAY? UH, WELL THERE ARE REPORTING FORMS AND THE LIMITATIONS, UH, APPLY BOTH WAYS.
IT'S, IT'S, UM, BE UNLAWFUL TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION IN EXCESS OF THE LIMIT AMOUNT.
IT'S ALSO UNLAWFUL TO ACCEPT IT.
WHAT'S WHAT'S, COUNSEL'S THOUGHT ON THIS FOR ME, MR. MAYOR, UH, SORRY, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, I GOT A QUICK QUESTION.
HOW DOES THIS, UM, IN THE PAST WE'D HAD CANDIDATES THAT WOULD SPEND THEIR OWN MONEY AND I KNOW ALL OF US HAVE SPENT OUR OWN, WOULD WE BE SUBJECT TO THAT $4,700 PLUS CPI GOING DOWN THE ROAD LIMIT AS WELL, OR MARK, DOES THAT SPEAK TO YOUR, YOUR LOAN, UH, COMMENT? YES, THERE'S UM, THEY, THERE'S A LIMITATION ON LOANS NOW IN THE, IN THIS ASSEMBLY BILL.
AND THERE WAS A SUPREME COURT CASE THAT, UM, INDICATES THAT YOU CAN'T CAP WHAT INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATES SPEND ON THEIR OWN, UM, UH, CAMPAIGN.
SO, UM, AGAIN, I THINK THERE'LL BE SOME, EITHER CLARIFICATION OR LITIGATION OVER SOME OF THESE PROVISIONS IS THAT BOB DACA, THERE'S A, THE BUCKLEY V
UH, PETER, YOU HAD A QUESTION, NO QUESTION.
I WAS JUST GOING TO MAKE A COMMENT.
COMMENT, NO COMMENT, NO COMMENT, OR WOULD LIKE TO VOTE, UH, AFTER READING EVERYTHING, I, I THINK GOING WITH THE STATE, UM, STATE GUIDELINES WOULD BE PROBABLY BEST SUITED FOR US.
IT, IT SHOWS THAT WE'RE, WE'RE IN SUPPORT OF SOME FORM OF CAMPAIGN LIMITS, AND YET IT PUTS THE ONUS, WELL, IT PUTS IT ON US AS CANDIDATES, BUT IT ALSO PUTS ON THE STATE AS FAR AS TRACKING AND THE COSTS, THE COSTS OF TRACKING.
SO I I'M, UH, AN ADVOCATE TO ADOPT THE STATE DEFAULT GUIDELINES.
OH, CHERYL, JUST A QUICK QUESTION.
IF WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING OR DIDN'T HAVE ANY LIMITS WITH THEM, AS FAR AS MANAGING THAT, WOULD THAT COME UPON THE CITY OR THEY GO TOWARDS, IF WE S SO IF WE DO NOT DEFAULT TO THE STATE'S LIMITS, THEN WE ARE IN ESSENCE ESTABLISHING OUR OWN.
EVEN IF OUR OWN IS NOT SETTING A DOLLAR AMOUNT, AS WE CURRENTLY HAVE THAT ACTION WOULD THEN MAKE THE CITY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF IT.
WHILE THEY'RE THERE, JUST TO BE CLEAR, THERE WOULD BE NOTHING TO ENFORCE OTHER THAN, UM, CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION LIMITS ARE SEPARATE FROM THE OBLIGATION TO REPORT.
YOU'D STILL NEED TO REPORT, BUT THERE WOULDN'T BE ANYTHING TO ENFORCE AS FAR AS SOMEONE, UH, RECEIVING ANY PARTICULAR AMOUNT, BECAUSE THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY CAP.
BUT I'M ASSUMING THAT THINGS LIKE, UH, PRE ELECTION FILINGS, WHERE THERE IS A LAW THAT, UH, ANY CONTRIBUTION IN EXCESS OF A THOUSAND DOLLARS HAS TO BE REPORTED WITHIN 24 HOURS ON FORM FOUR 97.
THAT WOULD PROBABLY SELL IT HERE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT, WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE A DOLLAR AMOUNT, UH, THAT SAID, WELL,
[00:35:01]
MY UNDERSTANDING AND I'D HAVE TO, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE THE ENFORCEMENT AGENCY.SO EVEN IN THE INSTANCE WHERE WE CURRENTLY MAY HAVE TO OPEN AN ENFORCEMENT CASE FOR NON FILERS OR, UM, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING OF THAT SENSEI, SOMEBODY DIDN'T FILE THEIR FILING ON TIME.
AND WE NOTIFIED THEM SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE THEIR FILING THE FPPC KICKS IN AND THEY ENFORCE ON THAT.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY WOULD NOT ENFORCE ON ANYTHING.
SO, UM, WE WOULD BE TAKING IT OUT OF THEIR HANDS AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH THOSE SORTS OF ISSUES OUTSIDE OF, YOU KNOW, OURSELVES.
UH, I HAVE A COMMENT ABOUT THAT, BUT CYNTHIA, ANY CLIMATE, I WOULD JUST WANT TO ACCEPT THE DEFAULT PROVISION BY THE STATE.
I DO NOT WANT OUR CITY TO HAVE TO BE INVOLVED WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF IT.
I THINK IT PUTS SOME TEETH IN THINGS BY DEFAULTING AND LETTING FPPC TAKE CARE OF THAT.
OTHERWISE, HOW ARE WE GOING TO KNOW ABOUT LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, UH, REPORTINGS? I THINK IT'S, LET'S LEAK.
SO, UH, DO WE WANT US TO TAKE A VOTE ON THIS, MR. ERIC? SORRY, JUST ONE, ONE OTHER FINAL, SORRY, ONE OTHER FINAL QUESTION.
SO ONCE WE MAKE WHATEVER THE DECISION IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE, CAN WE EVER PUT THAT GENIE BACK IN THE BOTTLE? OR IS THIS JUST A, A DECISION IN PERPETUITY FOR THE CITY COUNCIL OR FOR THE CITY? I SHOULD SAY NOW YOU CAN.
UM, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, YOU COULD, YOU COULD, UM, CHANGE US IN THE FUTURE.
BUT IF WE CHANGED IT IN THE FUTURE, THEN THE RESPONSE REPORTING RESPONSIBILITY WOULD COME BACK TO US CORRECTLY.
THE, THE FPPC, UM, IF THE, IF THE COUNCIL JUST ACCEPTS WHAT THE FPPC IS PUTTING IN PLACE, THEN UNLESS, AND UNTIL THE COUNCIL WERE TO ADOPT SOMETHING DIFFERENT, UM, IT WILL BE ON THE FPPC.
AND AGAIN, THIS DEALS PRINCIPALLY.
UM, I'LL MOVE TO ADOPT THE STATE GUIDELINES FOR, UH, UH, FOR CAMPAIGN DONATIONS.
SECOND BY BRIAN, IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU, CYNTHIA, A VERBAL VOTE.
MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO TO ACCEPT THE LIMITS OF AB FIVE 71.
[20. Authorize City Manager to develop program for waiving license fees for Veteran owned service dogs]
OKAY.THE NEXT ITEM WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS IS GOING TO BE AUTHORIZED CITY MANAGERS TO DEVELOP PROGRAM FOR WAVING LICENSE FEES FOR THE VETERAN OWNED SERVICE DOGS.
I THINK WE'LL GO AHEAD AND YOU'LL HEAR THE REPORT FIRST.
AND THEN I KNOW WE'VE GOT ED DENSON ON THE LINE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK TO THIS BECAUSE I KNOW HE'S ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT INITIATED THIS REQUEST AND SMEAR, WHICH I TOTALLY SUPPORT.
I'M GOING TO INVITE, UH, ROD HILL, OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER TO COME UP AND PROVIDE THE REPORT.
HE'S BEEN WORKING WITH OUR ANALYSTS, UH, SUSAN TO, UH, DEVELOP THE PROPOSAL FOR TONIGHT.
THANK YOU, RODNEY MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS A, UH, IS SEEKING DIRECTION TO WAIVE, UH, LICENSE FEES FOR VETERAN OWNED SERVICE DOGS.
UH, UNDER THE ADA S UH, SERVICE DOGS ARE DEFINED AS THE ANIMALS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY TRAINED TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS WITH QUALIFYING DISABILITIES, AND THEY GENERALLY DO NOT INCLUDE SUPPORT, COMFORT OR COMPANION ANIMALS, CURRENTLY MANY JURISDICTIONS AND LOCAL AREA DO WAIVE LICENSE FEES FOR SERVICE ANIMAL ANIMALS.
HOWEVER, TWO HILLS ONLY WAIVES LICENSE FEES FOR, UH, VISUALLY IMPAIRED, UH, ASSISTANCE DOGS.
AT THIS POINT, THERE ARE TWO FEES CURRENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICE DOGS.
THE FIRST ONE IS A CALIFORNIA SERVICE DOCK REGISTRATION, WHICH IVH S IN THE VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY CURRENTLY PROVIDES THAT REGISTRATION AND NO COST.
THE SECOND IS THE DOG LICENSING FEE AND CHINO HILLS CURRENTLY CHARGES FOR ALL DOGS, EXCEPT FOR THOSE VISUALLY IMPAIRED ASSISTANCE ANIMALS.
THOSE LICENSE FEES IN CHINO HILLS CURRENTLY RANGE FROM $5 TO $50 PER YEAR PER ANIMAL.
A STAFF HAS RECEIVED NUMEROUS REQUESTS OVER THE PAST YEARS FOR VETERAN OWNED SERVICE DOG, UH, FEE WAIVERS, AND IVS THAT IHS HAS CONFIRMED, UH, WITH STAFF THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT A VETERAN-OWNED SERVICE DOG, LICENSED FEE WAIVER PROGRAM BASED ON DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL.
AND WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION.
APPROXIMATELY, I MEAN, THIS IS A FEE THAT, WHO DOES THE LICENSE FEE GO TO? DOES IT COME TO US OR DOES IT GO TO IBH? I VHS RECEIVES IT, BUT WE RECEIVE PORTION OF THE MONEY BACK AFTER THE, AFTER THEY PAY THEIR FEES, IF THERE'S ANY FEES OR IT OFFSETS PART OF THEIR FEES AND YOU REPHRASE THAT, WE THERE'S A FEE FOR IHS, THE SERVICE AND THE LICENSE FEES OFFSET PART OF THAT FEE, BUT IT'S EXTREMELY, UH, MINOR CORRECT THE NUMBER OF DOGS THAT WOULD SUPPOSED TO BE VERY SMALL.
[00:40:01]
TO $50, DEPENDING IF IT'S A SENIOR OWN DOG OR NOT.SO IT'S ALTERNATE AND OUT ALL UNALTERED.
BEFORE WE HAVE ANY COMMENT FROM UP HERE, IS ED STILL ON THE LINE? YES.
YOUR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THIS? YES.
UM, OUR PROGRAM THAT WE DO EVERY SATURDAY, UM, THE TEAMS THAT WE ARE PICKING UP MORE AND MORE, UM, STUDENTS THAT, UH, NEED SERVICE, UM, FOR DIFFERENT DISABILITY THAT THEY HAVE.
AND, UH, WE TRY TO DO OUR BEST TO, UM, GET THESE DOGS, UH, PREPARED AND, UH, FOCUSED ON WHAT THEIR JOB IS SUPPOSED TO BE TO HELP THAT VETERAN OR PERSON WITH DISABILITIES THAT THEY HAVE.
AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT'S GROWING AND GROWING.
AND I FEEL THAT, UM, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE REALLY WILLING TO, UM, GET OUT THERE AND HAVE A DOG, UH, TRAIN, UH, YOU KNOW, BDS OR, UH, A SERVICE DOG, UM, THERAPY DOGS.
WE TRAIN EVERYTHING, UM, EVEN, UM, FOR THERAPY, UH, THAT WE DO GO OUT AND, UH, HELP THE COMMUNITY, UM, THE COURT SYSTEMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO, UM, IT'S A LOT TO THE PROGRAM AND I'M HOPING THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, THIS PASSES SO THAT, UH, IT HELPS THE VETERANS, UM, THAT NEEDS THIS.
POINT OF CLARIFICATION, ROD, IF WE APPROVE THIS, WILL THIS APPLY TO ONLY VETERAN SERVICE DOGS THAT SO PEOPLE WHO HAVE SERVICE DOGS THAT ARE NOT VISUALLY IMPAIRED WOULD NOT HAVE THEIR FEE WAIVED.
THAT'S PROPOSED CURRENTLY, IF WE DETERMINED THAT WE WANTED TO INCLUDE THEM AS WELL AT A LATER DATE, COULD WE, UH, CHANGE THIS AND INCLUDE THAT AT A LATER DATE? BECAUSE I DON'T, THIS IS THE FIRST I WAS THINKING OF THE DISTINCTION WHEN WE SAY BETTER KNOWN THAT'S ONE THING, BUT, UH, THE FACT THAT IT DOESN'T COVER ANYTHING, IT WOULDN'T COVER, IT WOULD COVER ALL ISSUES FOR VETERANS, BUT NOT FOR OTHERS THAT HAVE THEM AS COMPANION DOGS OR WHATEVER, OTHER THAN VISUALLY.
SO I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS THAT DISTINCTION OF PRIOR TO US LOOKING INTO THIS.
SO IT COULD, WE COULD ADD THAT LATER.
YOU COULD ITHS DOES ENCOURAGE THAT WE'VE REFRAINED FROM DOING SERVICE AND COMFORT.
I MEAN, COMFORT DOGS AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOGS.
THEY RECOMMEND THAT WE, UH, USE DOGS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY TRAINED TO MEET THE ADA REQUIREMENTS OF A SERVICE DOG.
THAT'S WHAT THEY RECOMMEND, BUT THEY COULD DO IT FOR ANY, ANY GROUP.
COMFORT DOGS THAT WE HAVE TO CHINO HILLS.
SO IT WOULD BE, YEAH, THAT'S OPENING A CAN OF WORMS RIGHT THERE.
SO WE'RE TALKING TONIGHT THEN.
UH, ANYONE ELSE WHO WENT OUT THERE WANTING TO SPEAK ON THIS? I DO NOT SEE ANY OTHER HANDS.
THEN I WILL MOVE OR ENTERTAIN A MOTION UP HERE.
AS, AS A VETERAN, I AGREED THAT WE OUGHT TO GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE SUPPLY TO VETERAN OWNED SERVICE DOGS.
AND IT'S MY PLEASURE TO MAKE THAT MOTION SECOND.
COUNCIL MEMBER MORAN AND COUNCIL MEMBER ROGERS.
ADD, HOPEFULLY THIS HELPS YOU OUT WITH YOUR TUBE CERTIFIED VETERAN DOGS.
[21. Introduce Ordinance Entitled: "An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills Amending Title 16 of the Chino Hills Municipal Code to Amend Accessory Dwelling Unit Regulations and Finding Proposed Municipal Code Amendment 20MCA01 Exempt from Review Under the California Environmental Quality Act" - For first reading by title only - Waive further reading]
UH, OKAY.THIS PORTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING IS, IS FOR ALL MATTERS.
THAT LEGALLY REQUIRE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC INPUT.
PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND ON VIA ZOOM OR DIAL STAR NINE TO BE SELECTED FOR THE MEETING QUEUE INDIVIDUAL AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION IS ENCOURAGED AND IS LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES.
FIRST ITEM, WOULD YOU PLEASE READ THAT CHERYL NUMBER 21? YES.
THIS ITEM IS TO INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS AMENDING TITLE 16 OF THE CHINO HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO AMEND ACCESSORY DWELLING, UNIT REGULATIONS AND FINDING PROPOSED MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT 20 MCA ZERO ONE EXEMPT FROM REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FOR FIRST READING BY TITLE ONLY AND WAVING FURTHER READING.
SO THEN WE DON'T HAVE A FORMAL REPORT ON IT TONIGHT.
UH, WE ACTUALLY DO, UH, UH, IF I CAN HAVE A RYAN STUTTER FROM THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, UH, TO APPROACH, AND THEN WE HAVE, UH, JOANNE LOMBARDO, OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR HERE.
UH, I KNOW THAT, UH, STAFF ALONG WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS DILIGENTLY, UH, REVIEWED THIS MATTER.
UH, AND SO I EXPECT, UH, RYAN WILL WALK US THROUGH THAT ACTIVITY.
[00:45:01]
AHEAD.WE HAVE YOUR HAND OUT HERE FOR US.
THANK YOU TO BE REMARRIED MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT 20 MCA ZERO ONE.
THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PERTAINS TO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS, AND IT'S AN UPDATE TO OUR CURRENT STANDARDS.
THESE TYPES OF UNITS HAVE BEEN KNOWN BY VARIOUS NAMES OVER THE YEARS, SECOND DWELLING UNITS, GRANNY FLATS, CAUSE HE DOES REMEMBER VARIOUS TERMS. HOWEVER, IN, I BELIEVE IT WAS 2016, THE STATE ADOPTED LEGISLATION FORMALIZING THEIR CLASSIFICATION AS ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND PLACING CERTAIN LIMITS ON THE ABILITIES OF CITIES AND OTHER LOCAL JURISDICTIONS TO REGULATE THEM IN 2019, THE STATE ENACTED SIX STATUTES THAT FURTHER LIMITED THE ABILITY OF LOCAL JURISDICTIONS TO IMPOSE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS ON ADU AND LARGELY REQUIRING AN OVERHAUL OF THE CITY'S EXISTING ADU PROVISIONS.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT SINCE THE INACTION OF THESE STATUTES, PUBLIC INQUIRIES AND PLAN CHECK APPLICATIONS FOR USE HAVE INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY.
OVER PREVIOUS YEARS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION HELD THREE PUBLIC WORKSHOPS AND A PUBLIC HEARING TO REVIEW THE STATUTES ENACTED BY THE STATE, RECEIVE PUBLIC INPUT AND CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY'S ADU REGULATIONS.
ULTIMATELY THEY HAVE RECOMMENDED THE ORDINANCE THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU, THE CP.
SO AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT AS AN INDEPENDENT DWELLING UNIT CONTAINING A KITCHEN BATHROOM LIVING AREA AND SLEEPING AREA.
THERE ARE ALSO SOME SUBCATEGORIES THAT WE'LL SEE IN JUST A MOMENT, BUT THE PRIMARY ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT IS INTENDED TO BE A FULLY SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT.
SO THE FIRST SUB CATEGORY IS AN ACCESSORY EFFICIENCY DWELLING UNIT.
AND THESE ARE AGAIN, INDEPENDENT DWELLING UNITS, BUT THEY FEATURE A COMBINED LIVING AND SLEEPING AREAS.
RATHER HAVING A, RATHER THAN HAVING A BEDROOM AND A FAMILY ROOM, THESE HAVE KIND OF ONE AREA MORE SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU MIGHT CONSIDER TO BE A STUDIO OR A STUDIO APARTMENT ALONG THOSE LINES.
IT'S ALSO ONLY REQUIRED TO HAVE A PARTIAL KITCHEN, ALTHOUGH IT MAY ALSO HAVE A FULL KITCHEN, IT IS REQUIRED TO HAVE A BATHROOM.
AND IT'S GENERALLY INTENDED FOR OCCUPANCY BY NOT MORE THAN TWO PERSONS.
THESE SECOND SUBCATEGORIES JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.
THE PRIMARY DISTINCTION HERE IS THAT THESE ARE WILLING UNITS THAT ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THE SPACE OF THE EXISTING PRIMARY RESIDENCE OR AN ATTACHED GARAGE.
IT'S REQUIRED TO HAVE AN EFFICIENCY KITCHEN CONSISTING OF A SINK CABINETS AND APPLIANCES, AND MAY HAVE ITS OWN BATHROOM OR SHARE A BATHROOM FACILITY WITH THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE.
IF WE HAVE QUESTIONS, CAN WE ASK THEM AS WE GO? ABSOLUTELY.
IF THIS IS A GARAGE, WE DON'T HAVE TO REPLACE THE PARKING.
IS THAT CORRECT? UH, FOR JUNIOR ADU, YOU ACTUALLY ARE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE PARKING.
HOWEVER, IF YOU CONVERT IT INTO AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT OR AN EFFICIENCY UNIT, YOU ARE NOT.
IT'S, UH, ONE OF THE MANY INTERESTING LITTLE DIVERSIFICATIONS BETWEEN 80 YEARS AND JUNIOR, 80 YEARS.
AND CAN YOU ADD SQUARE FOOTAGE TO THE MAIN HOUSE, LIKE SAY 150 SQUARE FEET AS PART OF A JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT? YOU CAN NOT, BUT AS PART OF AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT, YOU CAN.
SO THE FIRST PROVISION DOESN'T DIRECTLY RE RESOLVE WITH EDU, HOWEVER IT IS GUEST HOUSES.
SO JUST TO DIFFERENTIATE THE TWO, A GUEST HOUSE IS AN AREA DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY SLEEPING ON A S ON A PROPERTY CONTINUING AND EXISTING PRIMARY DWELLING UNIT.
IT GENERALLY CONSISTS OF A LIVING AREA AND A BATHROOM ONLY WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF KITCHEN FACILITY.
THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE WOULD DISALLOW GUEST HOUSES TO BE DEVELOPED ON A PROPERTY CONTAINING AN ADU OR J D THE THEORY BEHIND THIS IS THAT A PROPERTY IS NOW ALLOWED TO DEVELOP A J ADU PLUS POTENTIALLY A DETACHED ADU, AND THEN ALLOWING A GUEST HOUSE ON TOP OF THAT WOULD JUST BE THE CREATION OF MULTIPLE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES FOR SLEEPING PURPOSES ON THE SAME PROPERTY.
THIS WOULD JUST KIND OF NARROW IT IN A LITTLE BIT.
HOWEVER, A HOME THAT DIDN'T HAVE AN EXISTING ADU OR JD WOULD STILL BE ALLOWED TO DEVELOP A GUEST HOUSE.
IF ONE HAS AN ADU ON THE PROPERTY OR A J A D J A D YOU COULD, THEY BUILD A SECOND ADU IN THE EVENT THAT THEY HAVE A J ADU ON THE PROPERTY, THEY COULD DEVELOP A DETACHED ADU OF 800 SQUARE FEET OR LESS, UH, ALTERNATIVELY, IF THEY HAD AN 800 SQUARE FOOT FOOT OR LESS DETACHED ADU, THEY COULD DEVELOP A J DO YOU OKAY, SO THEY COULD BUILD THE ONE IN THE BACK AND THEN CONVERT THE GARAGE AFTER CORRECT.
LOTS SUPPOSEDLY ALLOWS FOR IT BECAUSE THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE RESTRICTION IS CONFINED WITHIN ADU REQUIREMENTS OF NO MORE THAN 800 SQUARE FEET.
IS THAT WHAT GOVERNANCE IS IN ORDER TO DO BOTH OF THOSE? YES.
[00:50:01]
THE LIMITATION ON THE DETACHED 80 WOULD BE 800 SQUARE FEET.THE CODE WOULD ALSO REQUIRE THE RECREATION OF A DEED RESTRICTION REQUIRING THAT THE AVU NOT BE SOLD SEPARATELY FROM THE PRIMARY GROWLING.
IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE THE ANY RENTAL OR LEASE OF THE ADU TO BE FOR A PERIOD OF MORE THAN 30 DAYS HERE.
I WOULD NOTE THAT THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL, WHICH WAS CONSISTENT WITH OUR EXISTING CODE, THAT THE STEEP RESTRICTION WE RECORDED PRIOR TO BUILDING PERMIT ISSUANCE.
HOWEVER, THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS RECOMMENDED THAT THIS BE SHIFTED TO ALLOW IT TO BE RECORDED PRIOR TO OCCUPANCY THAT WAY IT WOULD ALLOW, UH, PROPERTY OWNERS ADDITIONAL TIME TO GET THAT DEED RECOMMENDATION RATHER THAN HOLDING UP THE CONSTRUCTION.
SO THAT HAS BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE ORDINANCE BEFORE YOU TODAY.
UH, IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT J D USE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL DEED RESTRICTION REQUIREMENT.
AND THAT IS THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER SHALL RESIDE IN EITHER THE J ADU OR THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE PRIMARY DWELLING UNIT.
HOWEVER, AS OF JANUARY 1ST, 2025, THAT OWNER OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENT WILL APPLY TO ALL 80 USE IN
ADDITIONALLY, PROPOSED ORDINANCE WOULD DISALLOW ALL 80 USE WITHIN THE SLEEPY HOLLOW COMMUNITY, BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH, THE CARBON CANYON AND THE CANON LANE COMMUNITY ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CARBON CANYON ROAD.
THIS RECOMMENDATION IS BASED UPON INPUT FROM THE FIRE DISTRICT AND THEIR RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE NARROW STREETS.
THESE STREETS WITHIN THESE COMMUNITIES TYPICALLY HAVE WITH BETWEEN 10 AND 16 FEET, IN SOME CASES AS NARROW AS 10 AND 12 FEET, WHICH PRECLUDES TWO-WAY TRAFFIC.
THIS IS A PARTICULAR CONCERN DURING WILDFIRE INCIDENTS.
WHEN YOU HAVE THE EVACUATION OF THAT COMMUNITY UNDERWAY AT THE SAME TIME, YOU MAY HAVE EMERGENCY VEHICLES TRYING TO ACCESS THAT AREA FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION EFFORTS.
ADDITIONALLY, IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS IS THE ONE AREA OF THE CITY IN WHICH THE FIRE HAZARD OVERLAYED DISTRICT AND THE SMALL LOT OVERLAYED DISTRICT OVERLAP, MEANING THAT YOU HAVE AN AREA AT INCREASED RISK FOR FIRE HAZARD, AS WELL AS AN AREA THAT HAS DECREASED MINIMUM LOT SIZES.
THE CONCERN HERE IS THAT THE REDUCED LOT SIZES ALLOW FOR A GREATER CONCENTRATION OF BOTH PEOPLE AND VEHICLES IN AN AREA THAT IS, AGAIN, AS NOTED BY THE FIRE HAS HESTER OVERLAY AT INCREASED RISK FOR FIRE HAZARD.
SO, RYAN, JUST A QUICK QUESTION ON WHAT YOU'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT, UM, WHATEVER WE DECIDE AS A COUNCIL HAS TO BE APPROVED BY ATD, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.
ONCE ADOPTED THE ORDINANCE WILL BE SENT TO EACH CD WITHIN 60 DAYS OF ITS ADOPTION, THEY WILL THEN REVIEW IT FOR CONFORMANCE WITH STATE LAW AND PROVIDED ANY FEEDBACK BACK TO US IF THEY DO FEEL THAT ANY OF OUR PROVISIONS ARE IN CONFLICT WITH STATE LAW.
SO IF THERE WAS AN ISSUE REGARDING SLEEPY HOLLOW THAT THEY BROUGHT THAT UP, THEN WE'D HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT, CORRECT? CORRECT.
IF THEY IDENTIFIED THAT AS BEING IN CONFLICT WITH STATE LAW, WE WOULD ADDRESS IT.
PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THAT ACRONYM MEANS.
THAT'S THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY ELEMENT.
THE, THIS WILL DISALLOW A TO USE, BUT HOW ABOUT J A D USE AS CURRENTLY PROPOSED IT WOULD DISALLOW ANY TYPE OF ADU, INCLUDING JDS AND EFFICIENCY.
MAYBE IT SHOULD BE IN HERE FOR CLARIFICATION.
UH, THIS SLIDE JUST REPRESENTS THOSE AREAS, GRAPHICALLY, THE SLEEPY HOLLOW HOLLOW COMMUNITIES AND THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN.
AS AGAIN, I SHOWED IT'S BOTH THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF CARBON KENYON ROAD, AND THEN THE CANON LANE COMMUNITY IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN.
AND IT IS THE AREA DESIGNATED ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF CARTON CANYON ROAD.
THE CODEWORD IDENTIFIED THE ALLOWABLE TYPES OF ADS, AS WELL AS THE NUMBER.
SO FOR SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, THEY'D BE ALLOWED THE DEVELOPMENT OF ONE 80 U OR JUNIOR ADU.
EXCEPT AGAIN, AS WE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED A DETACHED ADU OF 800 SQUARE FEET OR LESS MAY BE COMBINED WITH A JUNIOR ADU ON A SINGLE PROPERTY.
ALSO ONE OF THE NEW ELEMENTS THAT THE 2019 STATUTES CREATED IS THE ALLOWANCE FOR 80 USE ON MULTIFAMILY PROPERTIES.
UH, SPECIFICALLY THAT MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE 80 IS MAYBE CONVERTED WITHIN NON LIVABLE AREAS OF MULTIFAMILY STRUCTURES AND PORTIONS OF EXISTING MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING UNITS MAY BE CONVERTED INTO AN EDU UP TO AN AGGREGATE OF 25% OF THE EXISTING MULTIFAMILY UNITS.
[00:55:01]
TWO DETACHED EDU'S COULD BE LOCATED ON THE LOT CONTAINING EXISTING MULTI-FAMILY.THE PROPOSED CODE WOULD ESTABLISH A MINIMUM SIZE FOR ALL ADU TYPES OF 220 SQUARE FEET BASED UPON THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE SIZE REQUIREMENTS FOR AN EFFICIENCY UNIT, AND WOULD MIRROR THE STATE CODE IN TERMS OF ESTABLISHING A MAXIMUM SIZE OF 850 SQUARE FEET FOR AN ADU CONTAINING UP TO ONE BEDROOM AND 1000 SQUARE FEET FOR AN ADU CONTAINING TWO OR MORE BEDROOMS. ADDITIONALLY, AN ATTACHED ADU THAT EXCEEDS THE 800 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM, EXCUSE THE SQUARE FOOT MAXIMUM WOULD BE ALLOWED UP TO 50% OF THE FLOOR AREA OF THE PRIMARY GROWLING SUBJECT TO THAT OVERALL THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT CAP.
SO THE PRIMARY WOULD HAVE TO BE AT LEAST 1600 SQUARE FEET BEFORE THEY COULD GO TO THE 800 ON THAT.
OR WE HAVE TO ALLOW UP TO AT LEAST 800 SQUARE FEET ONCE THEY GET BEYOND THAT 800 SQUARE FEET, THAT'S WHEN THE 50% KICKS IN.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW, SETBACKS WILL BE MODIFIED SUCH THAT THE FRONT SETBACK REQUIRED TO BE THE SAME AS THE PRIMARY DWELLING HARBOR.
THE SIDE AND REAR SETBACKS WOULD BE REDUCED TO FOUR FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THESE ARE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION EDU'S IN THE EVENT THAT AN ADU IS CONSTRUCTED AN EXISTING STRUCTURE OF THE SITE AND WHERE SETBACKS ARE ONLY REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH CURRENT BUILDING AND FIRE CODE REQUIREMENTS.
THE IMAGE TO THE RIGHT OF THE TEXT KIND OF DEPICTS THE GENERAL SETBACK AREA, THE RED AREA, BEING THE SETBACK, THE YELLOW AREA, BEING A SETBACK AREA THAT WOULD APPLY TO THE PRIMARY DWELLING, BUT IN WHICH THE ADU WOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENCROACH.
AND THEN THE GREEN BEING THE TYPICAL BUILDING AREA FOR MOST OF OUR PRIMARY DWELLING UNITS, LASTLY OF COVERAGE WILL BE REQUIRED TO CONFORM TO THE ZONING DISTRICT LOT COVERAGE STANDARD, TYPICALLY 40% FOR MOST OF OUR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES.
I MEAN, IF SOMEONE'S BUILDING THAT CLOSE ON LIKE THE YELLOW PORTION, WHAT'S THE HEIGHT REQUIREMENT, CAUSE THAT'S SO CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY LINE, BUT WE'VE ESTABLISHED A HEIGHT LIMIT.
THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH STATE LOT 16 FEET.
SO IN THE EVENT THAT SOMEONE WANTED TO PROPOSE A TWO-STORY DWELLING UNIT, THEY'D HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ALL THE SAME SETBACKS THAT THE PRIMARY DWELLING UNIT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO ALL ADU USE, REGARDLESS OF TYPE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED WITH INDEPENDENT EXTERIOR ACCESS EDDIE'S WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE PARKING ONE COVERED OR UNCOVERED PARKING SPACE FOR AN ADU CONTAINING ONE OR MORE BEDROOMS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EXEMPTIONS IN STATE LAW, INCLUDING LOCATIONS WITHIN ONE HALF MILE OF PUBLIC TRANSIT.
UH, THOSE THAT ARE LOCATED WITHIN AN EXISTING STRUCTURES OR CONVERTING AN EXISTING STRUCTURE AND ADU IS LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE PARKING PERMITS ARE REQUIRED FOR ON-STREET PARKING, BUT THOSE ARE NOT OFFERED TO THE ADU OCCUPANT UNLESS THEY WERE AN ADU IS LOCATED WITHIN ONE BLOCK OF A HARSHER VEHICLE LOCATION.
IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTICE THAT REPLACEMENT OF GARAGE OR CARPET SPACE IS LOST IN THE CONSTRUCTION OR CONVERSION OF AN ADU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED, EXCEPT THAT THAT REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED FOR JUNIOR ADU.
SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE HAVE THESE APARTMENTS THAT GET BUILT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, THE EXAMINED PARKING.
SO, I MEAN, I KNOW THAT IT'S, THERE'S NO GETTING AROUND IT, BUT FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE WATCHING THIS AT HOME, PROBABLY SHAKING THEIR HEADS AND A LOT OF THESE ITEMS. SO IF WE HAVE A DEVELOPER THAT WANTS TO PUT TO USE IN ALL OF THEIR PARKING AREA, SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO REPLACE THAT PARKING ANYWHERE ELSE.
SO WHERE ARE THOSE RESIDENTS GOING TO PARK? SO IF YOU, IF I LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT'S NEXT TO THE APARTMENTS AND IT OVERFLOWS INTO MY STREET, SO THERE'S NO GATE, THERE'S NO GETTING AROUND THEM HAVING TO PROVIDE PARKING SOMEWHERE.
NO, THE STATE DOESN'T GIVE US MUCH ROOM TO MANEUVER IN TERMS OF REPLACEMENT PARKING.
AND RYAN, JUST QUICK QUESTION, THIS IS MANDATED BY THE STATE.
SO IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CITY OF CHINO HILLS, CORRECT? CORRECT.
THE STATE HAS ESTABLISHED A SET OF STANDARDS AND THEN GIVEN THE CITY A LITTLE BIT OF WIGGLE ROOM WITHIN THOSE IN WHICH WE CAN TRY AND ADDRESS LOCAL CONCERNS AND NEEDS, BUT IT'S PRETTY HEAVILY CONSTRAINED.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID WORK WITH STAFF AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC TO TRY AND ADDRESS THOSE AREAS THAT WE COULD.
WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE INSIDE HOS? THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE NO SAY IN THIS EITHER.
SO IF SOMEONE LIVES IN A HOA AND WHERE SOMEONE WANTS TO PUT AN ADU AND A NEIGHBOR MIGHT SEE IT, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, H WAYS ARE GOING TO BE POWERLESS TOO, WITH THIS CORRECT.
ONE OF THOSE SIX STATUTES LIMITED THE ABILITY TO PROHIBITED HOS FROM PROHIBITING 80 USE AND ALLOWS ONLY THOSE STANDARDS, WHICH WOULD NOT UNREASONABLY IMPEDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ATS.
[01:00:01]
ARE SUBJECT TO SOME PRETTY STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS AS WELL.LEGISLATION DOES ALLOW US TO DEVELOP OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS.
SO SOME OF THESE STANDARDS WOULD REQUIRE ATTACHED 80 USE TO MATCH THE PRIMARY DWELLING UNIT REQUIRING THAT DOORS AND WINDOWS OF EDU'S TO MATCH THE PRIMARY DWELLING UNIT.
THAT IN INSTANCES WHERE A GARAGE IS CONVERTED INTO AN ADU THAT THE GARAGE ALREADY REMOVED AND A FACADE THAT MATCHING THE PRIMARY DWELLING UNIT, WE PROVIDED LIMITING EXTERIOR DOWNLIGHTS EXTERIOR LIGHTS TO DOWNLIGHTS TO LIMIT IMPACT TO JASON PROPERTIES REQUIRING THAT DETACHED EDU'S PROVIDE DECORATIVE TRIM AROUND WINDOWS AND DOORS REQUIRING A FIVE FOOT OFFSET FROM THE FIRST STORY BUILDING FACE OF THE ADU TO THE SECOND STORY FACE OF THE ADU IN THE EVENT OF A TWO STORY ON BOTH THE FRONT ELEVATION, AS WELL AS THE STREET FACING SIDES.
AND LASTLY, THE ADU SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH A CLEAR ADDRESS VISIBLE FROM THE STREET
WE HAVE, WE WERE REQUIRED TO IDENTIFY A CERTAIN NUMBER OF CERTAIN TYPES OF 80 YEARS.
THAT WOULD BE EXEMPT FROM SOME OF THESE REQUIREMENTS.
THESE EXEMPT 80 USE ENCLOSED INCLUDE THOSE THAT ARE DEVELOPED WITHIN AN EXISTING STRUCTURE, WHETHER IT'S THE HOUSE GARAGE OR AN EXISTING ACCESSORY STRUCTURE ON THE PROPERTY, A DETACHED ADU, NOT EXCEEDING 800 SQUARE FEET IN FLOOR AREA OR 16 FEET IN HEIGHT.
AND THAT IS AT LEAST A FOUR FOOT MINIMUM SETBACK.
ADDITIONALLY, 80 YEARS DEVELOPED ON MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES ALSO FALL WITHIN THESE EXEMPT CATEGORIES.
THE SPECIFIC STANDARDS THAT THEY ARE EXEMPT FROM WITHIN OUR CODE, OUR MAXIMUM SIZE SETBACKS LOCK COVERAGE, AND MAXIMUM ONE POINT OF CLARIFICATION ON THE MAXIMUM SIZE, THE DEFINITION OR THE EXEMPT UNIT IS SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED AS AN 800 SQUARE FOOT.
SO IT HAS ITS OWN SIZE LIMITATION ON IT, WHERE THAT WOULD NOT APPLY IS IN THE 80 DEVELOPED WITHIN AN EXISTING STRUCTURE.
SEPARATE UTILITY CONNECTIONS LINES AND METERS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ALL DETACHED EDU'S.
EXCEPT THOSE WITHIN AN EXISTING STRUCTURE, SEPARATE ADDRESSES WOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY ACCESS AND MINIMIZE POTENTIAL CONFUSION IN ANY EMERGENCY RESPONSE SITUATION, AUS AND JDS BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH ALL CURRENTLY ADOPTED BUILDING CODE, EXCEPT FIRE SPRINKLERS ARE ONLY REQUIRED IN THE EVENT.
THEY WERE REQUIRED FOR THE PRIMARY DWELLING UNIT AND OUR MIXED USE ZONE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO ALLOW 80 USE CONSISTENT WITH THE WAY THAT THEY ARE BEING ALLOWED IN A RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS.
SO THE ADU IS, UH, IF IT'S A FULLY FUNCTIONING, ADU IS GOING TO OBVIOUSLY HAVE A KITCHEN, THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A BATHROOM.
IT'S GOING TO NEED ITS OWN HOT WATER HEATER, UH, THINGS LIKE STRAPPING OF THE DOUBLE STRAPPING OF WA WATER HEATERS, INSTALLATION OF SMOKE DETECTORS AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS.
THOSE ARE ALL GOING TO BE A PART OF THE REQUIREMENTS DURING THE PERMITTING AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS.
SO THEY'RE REQUIRED TO REQUIRE COMPLY WITH ALL OF THOSE BUILDING CODES.
NOW HOW ABOUT THE ONES THAT ARE CONVERTING A GARAGE TO A J A D U MOST, MOST HOUSES, I'LL SAY A LOT OF HOUSES HAVE THEIR WATER HEATERS AND EVERYTHING IN THE GARAGE.
DOES THAT CREATE A, UH, AN ISSUE OR IS THAT JUST A DESIGN CHALLENGE? IT WOULD BE DESIGN CHALLENGE FOR THEM.
OUR BUILDING AND SAFETY DIVISION WOULD BE LOOKING TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S ADEQUATE LIFE SAFETY, PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN PLACE TO PREVENT ANY POSSIBLE ISSUES AND VENTILATION AND THINGS LIKE THIS.
STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING MUNICIPAL AMENDMENT 20 MCA ZERO ONE, AND FINDING THAT THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS EXEMPT FROM REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE COUNCIL MAY HAVE.
IF YOU JUST STAY PUT FOR ONE SECOND, UH, LET ME DO THIS.
LET ME OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, SEE IF WE HAD ANYBODY TO SPEAK.
SO I'M GOING TO OFFICIALLY OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
UH, CHERYL, DO WE HAVE ANY REQUESTED SPEAKERS FROM THE AUDIENCE? YES.
WE HAVE ONE HAND RAISED AT THIS TIME.
LET'S HEAR THAT COMMENT FIRST IF THEY'D IDENTIFY THEMSELVES.
JIM, YOU HAVE QUESTION OR COMMENT OR WHATEVER.
SO COMBINATION, THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY, UH, ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK, BUT IT'S A COMBINATION OF QUESTION AND COMMENT DURING THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING ON THIS.
UH, ONE OF THE OBJECTIONS THAT A RESIDENT CAME UP WITH WAS THE IDEA OF THE SEPARATE PUBLIC UTILITY OF THE CHARGES.
AND HE SAID, FOR EXAMPLE, IF HE WAS TO HAVE HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW MOVE IN INTO AN ADU AND THEY HAD TO SET UP A SEPARATE, UH, SO IT, IT, IT WAS QUITE EXPENSIVE.
AND THEY WERE HOPING THAT MAYBE THE COUNCIL AND EVERYTHING ABOUT DEFERRING IT TO YOU GUYS TO THINK ABOUT, UM, IF THERE COULD BE EXEMPTIONS FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF ADY USE WHERE YOU COULD USE THE SAME EXISTING UTILITY, UH, CONNECTIONS.
[01:05:01]
I RECOGNIZE.WE'LL GET THAT, UH, ANSWER ANSWERED IN, UH, WHEN WE ASKED THE, UH, STAFF, ADDITIONALLY, ANYONE ELSE TO SPEAK? YES.
W PLEASE LET US KNOW WHO WE'RE TALKING TO OR HEARING.
EARLIER IN THE, MY NAME IS ROBIN, BY THE WAY, IN THE PRESENTATION, THERE WAS ANY EFFICIENCY, 80 U N A'S JR.
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE TWO ARE THOSE ONE IN THE SAME? IT WAS A LITTLE CONFUSING.
RYAN, COULD YOU, UH, DIFFERENTIATE THE TWO F UH, FOR THIS LADY? YES.
SO INEFFICIENCY ADU WAS THE CATEGORY THAT REQUIRED THAT AND WOULD THINK OF IT MORE ALONG THE LINES OF A STUDIO APARTMENT.
IT TYPICALLY IS A COMBINED LIVING AND SLEEPING AREA IS REQUIRED TO HAVE ITS OWN BATHROOM AND REQUIRED TO HAVE AT LEAST A PARTIAL OR COULD INCLUDE A FULL KITCHEN, A PARTIAL KITCHEN CONSISTING OF A SINK REFRIGERATION FACILITY AND APPLIANCES.
A JUNIOR ADU BY CONTRAST HAS TO BE CONTAINED EITHER WITHIN THE EXISTING PRIMARY DWELLING UNIT OR AN ATTACHED GARAGE TO THAT PRIMARY DWELLING UNIT.
IT'S LIMITED TO A MAXIMUM SIZE OF 500 SQUARE FEET BY DEFINITION.
AND IT MAY SHARE A BATHROOM FACILITY WITH THE PRIMARY HOUSE OR HAVE ITS OWN.
UH, SO IT'S MORE OF A SEMI-INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITY AS OPPOSED TO THE EFFICIENCY, RIGHT.
UH, ADDITIONALLY, THE EFFICIENCY ADU CAN BE ATTACHED DETACHED OR WITHIN AN EXISTING STRUCTURES.
THE JUNIOR 80 ONCE AGAIN HAS TO BE WITHIN THAT EXISTING SPACE.
DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YEAH.
SO THE EFFICIENCY UNIT CAN BE A GARAGE CONVERSION.
SO IF YOU HAD A JUNIOR ATU, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE DETACHED AND SEPARATE.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE BOTH, YOU WANT IT TO HAVE AN EFFICIENCY UNIT AND A ADU ADU WOULD HAVE TO BE SEPARATE.
AND THEN YOU PICK A BURT, THE GARAGE TO AN EFFICIENCY UNIT.
AM I CORRECT YOUR CLOTHES? IT'S, IT'S NOT A, IT'S A DIFFICULT SUBJECT.
THE JUNIOR ADU CAN BE COMBINED WITH A DETACHED ADU.
THE DETACHED IDIOT COULD BE AN EFFICIENCY OR A FULL ADU, BUT THE UNIT WITHIN THE STRUCTURE WOULD HAVE TO BE A JUNIOR ATU.
SO YOU COULD CONVERT THE GARAGE, AN ATTACHED GARAGE, OR A PORTION OF THE EXISTING HOUSE INTO A JUNIOR ADU.
AND THEN STILL GO AHEAD AND CONSTRUCT A DETACHED ADU OF UP TO 800 SQUARE FEET.
THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE AND ROBIN, CAN I SUGGEST THAT IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT DOING THIS, UH, IF YOU WOULD COME INTO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT WITH, UH, MAYBE A SKETCH OF WHAT YOU'RE PLANNING ON DOING, BUT THEN YOU GET SPECIFICS ON WHAT YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT DOING SO THAT THERE'S NO MISUNDERSTANDING.
YOU CLEARLY WANT TO GET ALL OF THIS APPROVED BEFORE STARTING ANY CONSTRUCTION, UH, ANY OTHER, I DO.
UM, HOW DO I GET THE HANDOUT, THE, UM, UH, POWERPOINT PRESENTATION AT THE HANDOUT? IS IT ON THE WEBSITE? YES.
THE POWERPOINT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO VIEW IF IT'S NOT ALREADY UP THERE, UH, BY TONIGHT.
I'LL COME IN AND ASK MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.
AND, AND IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWERPOINT, UH, IF YOU CAN CALL OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT, UH, I'M SURE SOMEONE COULD EMAIL IT TO YOU.
THANK YOU FOR THE INSIGHTFUL QUESTIONS.
ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? I DO NOT SEE ANY MORE HANDS RAISED.
I DON'T THINK I SEE ANY OF THE DEPARTMENT HEADS IN HERE.
AND IF NOT, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, BRING IT BACK UP TO COUNCIL FOR FURTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF.
CYNTHIA, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? ARE THESE GOING TO BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME FEES? LIKE THE EIGHTIES AS CURRENTLY PROPOSED WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME PLAN CHECK AND BUILDING PERMIT FEES.
UH, ONE MAJOR DISTINCTION IS THAT STATE LAW EXEMPTS 80 USE OF 750 SQUARE FEET OR LESS FROM DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES, AND THEN DEVELOP NEXT WEEK.
UH, IT USE GREATER THAN SEVEN 50 SQUARE FEET ARE SUBJECT TO PROPORTIONAL DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES.
WE TAKE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE ADU DIVIDED BY THE EXISTING SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE HOUSE, AND THEN MULTIPLY THAT BY THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES TO FIGURE OUT THE PROPORTIONAL.
CAUSE I THINK WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT IS IF THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME FEES THAT
[01:10:01]
ARE NO LONGER GOING TO BE PAID, BUT STAFF STILL HAS TO PERFORM THE WORK AND HOW WE PLAN TO RECOUP THOSE COSTS OR HOW IT WILL IMPACT THE BUDGET.IF THAT'S THE CASE, AS FAR AS THE PLAN CHECK AND BUILDING PERMIT FEES AS CURRENTLY PROPOSED, IT'S NOT PART OF THIS ORDINANCE.
SO THEY'D BE THE SUBJECT TO THE SAME FEES AS ANY OTHER TYPE OF RESIDENTIAL ADDITION.
UH, BRIAN, ANY QUESTIONS FROM YOU? NO, SIR.
MR. MAYOR, THAT WAS A VERY IN DEPTH, UH, PRESENTATION.
PETER, ANY QUESTIONS? NO ACTUAL REPORT THOUGH.
SO ANY QUESTIONS THAT COME UP, I'M JUST GOING TO GO STRAIGHT TO RYAN FOR ANSWERS.
FIRST OF ALL, UM, HOW MANY DWELLING UNITS DO WE HAVE IN OUR CITY SINCE THERE'S NO, UM, SIRES, AS FAR AS A LOT SIZE, HOW MANY PROPERTIES IN THE CITY COULD BUILD A NEW, DO YOU, RIGHT? IT IS A BIG NUMBER.
I GOING OFF MEMORY, BUT I THINK THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS, ALTHOUGH IT CONTAINS A MULTI-FAMILY, SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT ANIMAL IS ABOUT 23,000 IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.
UM, SO A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THOSE ARE SINGLE FAMILIES.
AND AS FAR AS OUR RENA OBLIGATION, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
THERE MAY BE POTENTIAL FOR SOME ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS TO COUNT TOWARDS OUR ARENA ALLOCATION.
WE WILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH A METHODOLOGY THAT WOULD DETERMINE HOW MANY OF THOSE USE WOULD POTENTIALLY BE OFFERED AT AFFORDABLE, UH, RENTAL RATES.
UH, WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT AND WE ARE PLANNING TO LOOK AT IT FURTHER AS PART OF OUR HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE, WHICH WILL BE COMING FORTH NEXT YEAR.
UM, SO THERE MAY BE SOME POTENTIAL THERE TO COUNT SOME OF THESE.
AND AS FAR AS THE PROCESSING, NORMALLY, IF YOU'RE BUILDING A HOUSE OR AN ADDITION YOU COULD TAKE MAYBE THREE MONTHS, FOUR MONTHS, IS THERE A TIMELINE FOR AN ADU? WE HAVE 60 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE REVIEW.
SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ONE REVIEW LASTING 60 DAYS.
THEY COULD SUBMIT, WE TAKE AN INITIAL TWO, THREE WEEKS TO COMPLETE THAT FIRST ROUND OF REVIEW.
THEY GET ANY CORRECTIONS BACK.
AND SO THE KIND OF THE CLOCK PAUSES WHILE THE BALL'S IN THEIR COURT.
AND THEN ONCE THEY RESUBMIT THAT CLOCK RESUME, SO THEN WE CONTINUE WITH IT.
AND JUST THE LAST QUESTION, MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE LEGISLATURE IS KICKING AROUND THE IDEA OF MAYBE ACTUALLY GOING TO TWO ADSL PLUS A JUNIOR ADU.
DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THAT CONSIDERING SOME ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS TO THE STATUTE? CORRECT.
I'M HOPING THEY ALLOW US ENOUGH TIME TO AT LEAST GET THIS ONE INTO EFFECT BEFORE WE START MAKING CHANGES, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.
SINCE IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING, UH, I WILL, UH, ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE ALL SECOND.
WANT TO SAY NO, BUT I KNOW I HAVE TO, I HAVE TO VOTE.
I KNOW WE VOTED, BUT I NEVER REMEMBER MY QUESTION NOW, RYAN.
UM, I FORGOT IT AGAIN ALREADY.
SO YOU HAVE 60 DAYS TO COMPLETE THESE.
DOES THIS MEAN THAT IF I WANT TO BUILD A CUSTOM HOME IN CHINO HILLS AND I SENT ME MY PLANS TO PLAN CHECK THAT IF ANYTHING THAT COMES IN AS AN ADU IS GOING TO GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE.
NOT GENERALLY, WE'RE TYPICALLY ABLE TO COMPLETE OUR REVIEWS WITHIN PRESCRIBED TIMES FOR MOST RESIDENTIAL.
IT'S ABOUT A TWO WEEK INITIAL TURNAROUND.
SOMETIMES THREE, IF WE HAVE MULTIPLE SUBMITTALS AT THE SAME TIME, OF COURSE WE WILL BE PAYING PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO OUR TIMELINES SINCE WE DO HAVE, UH, AN IMPOSED, UH, TIMEFRAME ON THESE.
SO THERE MAY BE SOME CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE IT GETS A LITTLE BIT OF AN EXPEDITED REVIEW.
IT'S KIND OF A RHETORICAL QUESTION.
IT'S JUST, WE ALL UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S BEING MANDATED.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE TO DO IT.
BUT THE UNFORTUNATE THING IS THAT THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THAT WILL LOOK AT THIS.
UM, I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE APARTMENT COMPONENT AND PEOPLE THAT WANT TO BUILD A, TO USE IN THE PARKING LOT.
SO WHAT WE'LL SEE, I'M HOPING WE'LL HAVE RESPONSIBLE BUILDING, UM, PEOPLE COMING HERE TO DO THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN REALLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS ORDINANCE AND, AND FAST TRACKING THING.
YOU MUST'VE WENT TO CAL STATE FULLERTON.

[ PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER REPORT]
DENISE, COME ON DOWN.PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER REPORT.
AS USUAL WITH THE COVID UPDATE WITH STATISTICS, THE CONFIRMED CASES IN THE COUNTY ARE JUST ABOUT 68,800, WHICH IS UP ALMOST 11,000 FROM TWO AGO.
SO THE RATE OF INCREASE IS DRAMATICALLY GOING UP.
UM, THE TOTAL POSITIVE TESTS AND CHINO HILLS ARE 1,238, WHICH IS 227 FROM TWO WEEKS AGO.
AND AGAIN, THAT NUMBER DOUBLED IN TWO WEEKS, IT WAS 92 AT THE LAST MEETING, THE TOTAL TESTS IN THE COUNTY, WHICH YOU MIGHT REMEMBER, THAT'S A KEY FACTOR IN TRYING TO REOPEN OUR, OUR COUNTY IS ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO TAKE TESTS 874,000 JUST ABOUT WHICH IS 82,000 FROM TWO WEEKS AGO.
THAT NUMBER IS UP 1.3% FROM THE PREVIOUS DAY.
AND THE POSITIVITY RATE IS 7.87, WHICH WENT DOWN JUST A BIT.
THE TOTAL NUMBER OF TESTS AND CHINO HILLS IS 25,534.
AND THAT'S UP ALMOST 2,400 FROM TWO WEEKS AGO.
IF YOU RECALL, WE HAD BEEN ON A DOWNWARD TREND AND WE JUST DID A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPTICK IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS, THE DESTINED THE COUNTY 1096, AND THEN SHE NO HILLS.
WE HAVE, WE HAVE INCREASED OUR NUMBER TO 10 SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY REMAINS IN THE PURPLE TIER WITH WIDESPREAD RISK AT THIS TIME.
UH, WE ARE HAPPY TO REPORT THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ARRANGE A COVID TESTING HERE AND SHE NO HILLS THAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH AT THE MCCOY EQUESTRIAN AND RECREATION CENTER IN THE BARN, IT WILL BE A WALK-IN, UH, WALK-IN CLINIC.
IN ADDITION, YOU CAN GET A FLU SHOT ON THAT DAY AS WELL.
THE TIME IS JUST FROM TWO TO 6:00 PM AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD WITH THE COUNTY TO GET THIS EVENT GOING.
UH, WE BELIEVE AT THIS TIME IT'S A WALK-IN, BUT WE'RE A LITTLE WORRIED THAT IT MIGHT TURN INTO SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO REGISTER FOR.
SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, KEEP AN EYE ON OUR, ON OUR WEBSITE, WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS HAVING A COVID TESTING SITUATION AT THE MCCOY BARN EVERY TWO WEEKS THROUGH THE END OF JANUARY.
SO WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN EVERY TWO WEEKS.
AND WE'RE WORKING ON THAT RIGHT NOW.
I THOUGHT I DO A LITTLE COVID UPDATE.
UM, FROM TWO WEEKS AGO, IT'S A BIT OF A REMINDER REFRESHER FROM WHAT WAS ANNOUNCED TWO WEEKS AGO, THE VOLLEYBALL COURT AT ENGLISH SPRINGS PARK HAS A NET AGAIN, AND IT'S IN SERVICE.
AND IT'S POSSIBLE THAT NETS FOR THE OTHER PARKS HAVE BEEN, UM, THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING PUT UP.
WE HAD TO ORDER NEW NETS AND STAFF IS PUTTING PICKLEBALL THAT'S OUT AT GRAND AVENUE PARK EVERY DAY.
THE PLAYERS JUST HAVE TO BRING THEIR OWN EQUIPMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, HOW'S COMMUNITY CENTER AND THE MCCOY BOND WILL BE STILL CLOSED THROUGH NOVEMBER 27TH.
AND WE'LL REASSESS AS THAT DAY GETS CLOSER AND WE DO STILL HAVE OUR BASKETBALL COURTS CLOSED BECAUSE OF THE
[01:20:01]
POST PHYSICAL CONTACT AND THE RESPIRATION RATES INVOLVED IN THAT SPORT.MOVING ON TO VETERAN'S DAY TOMORROW, CITY FACILITIES WILL BE CLOSED IN HONOR OF OUR VETERANS.
AND A FEW STAFF WILL BE HERE DELIVERING THE BREAKFAST TO THE VETERANS THAT HAVE REGISTERED FOR THAT EVENT.
TOMORROW, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE BLOOD DRIVES EVERY TUESDAY BECAUSE THE NEED FOR BLOOD CONTINUES TO REMAIN HIGH.
SO EVERY TUESDAY HERE AT THE GOVERNMENT CENTER FROM ONE TO 6:00 PM AND DONORS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR THEIR FACE COVERINGS WE'RE IN NOVEMBER NOW.
SO OUR NEXT VIRTUAL REC CONTEST IS GOING TO BE THE THANKSGIVING TABLE SCAPE DECORATING CONTEST, AND PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO START SUBMITTING PHOTOS NOVEMBER 19TH THROUGH THE 29TH.
AND THAT EVENT WILL HAVE A $25 GIFT CARD TO HOBBY LOBBY FOR THE WINNERS, OUR ANNUAL PHOTO CONTEST.
THE ENTRIES ARE DUE NOVEMBER 20TH AND THAT'S COMING RIGHT UP.
AND THAT HAS A GREAT PRIZE FOR THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER, WHICH IS $250.
AND THERE ARE OTHER PRIZE PACKAGES FOR THE OTHER PLACES RANGING FROM 50 TO 150, I THINK.
AND THAT WILL BE GIFT CARDS TO VARIOUS LOCATIONS AROUND TOWN.
THOSE ARE THE PRICES THAT WILL BE AWARDED.
UH, YOU MIGHT HAVE ALREADY SEEN YOUR WINTER RECREATION GUIDANCE, CITY NEWS.
IT'S BEEN DELIVERED ACROSS TOWN THIS WEEK.
UH, WE DO HAVE A LOT OF HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES THAT WE HAVE PIVOTED TO OPERATE IN THE COVID WORLD.
WE WILL BE HAVING A MCCOY LIGHTS EVENT, THE DRIVE-THRU TRICK OR TREAT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
SO WE'LL HAVE THE SAME KIND OF EVENT WHERE YOU DRIVE THROUGH THE MCCOY CENTER TO SEE SOME HOLIDAY LIGHT DISPLAYS.
THAT'LL BE A REGISTRATION REQUIRED EVENT FOR CHINO HILLS RESIDENTS.
WE ALSO HAVE ACTIVITIES WHERE YOU PICK UP, YOU COME TO VISIT US AND YOU PICK UP A KIT FOR GINGERBREAD HOUSE AND WE'LL SEND YOU HOME WITH A KIT.
AND THEN YOU SEND US A PICTURE OF YOUR ENTRY, SAME THING WITH HOT CHOCOLATE STORYTIME WITH SANTA.
WE'LL GIVE YOU A PACKET OF HOT CHOCOLATE MIXINGS AND YOU CAN ALSO LISTEN TO SANTA'S READ YOU A STORY.
SO WE'RE KIND OF PIVOTING OUR EVENTS.
HOLIDAY HOME DECORATING IS THE SAME AS IT ALWAYS IS WHERE YOU CAN DECORATE YOUR HOME OVER, OVER THANKSGIVING AND ENTER OUR CONTEST WHEN SURPRISES FOR THAT.
AND OF COURSE WE ARE AGAIN, HELPING SANTA RESPOND TO LETTERS TO SANTA.
SO THOSE CAN BE DROPPED OFF AT CITY HALL.
OUR ACTIVE ADULTS ARE GOING TO BENEFIT FROM A CHRISTMAS LUNCH IN THROUGH.
I KNOW THEY'LL MISS SOME OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE OTHER EVENT, BUT WE AGAIN ARE PIVOTING DUE TO THE COVID SITUATION WITH WHICH WE ARE LIVING.
UM, AND I WILL JUST MENTION THAT, UH, A REMINDER THAT THE BOAT PARADE IS NOT GOING TO BE HELD THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THE PROHIBITION OF GATHERING.
[ SAFETY UPDATES - Police and Fire]
PUBLIC INFO TO ME, SAFETY UPDATES, UH, POLICE, UH, CAPTAIN WALKER, PLEASE.GOOD EVENING WITH THE HOLIDAYS QUICKLY APPROACHING OR PREPARING FOR OUR HOLIDAY.
UM, CHRISTMAS DRIVE THROUGH, UM, LAST YEAR, AS YOU GUYS KNOW, WE HELD IT IN A MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE PURPOSE ROOM, UM, DUE TO COVID-19, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING A DRIVE-THROUGH THIS YEAR.
SO WE'LL HAVE THE RED BOXES SET UP IN OUR LOBBY.
UM, IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE A TOY OR A SPORTS ITEM, PLEASE BRING THAT IN ANYTIME FROM NOW, UNTIL DECEMBER 18TH, UM, THOSE WHO ARE WISHING TO RECEIVE AN ITEM, UM, WE'LL ASK THAT YOU WILL RSVP AND WE'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION UP ON OUR WEBPAGE OR ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA TOMORROW.
WHAT ARE THE GUIDELINES ON THE THINGS THAT WOULD BE DROPPED OFF? UM, MALE, FEMALE AGE GROUP, UH, UNWRAPPED.
SO FOR ALL KIDS, UM, UP TO THE AGE OF 16, 17 YEARS OLD, I'M OBVIOUSLY UNWRAPPED SO WE CAN SEE WHAT IT IS.
AND THEN, UM, AGAIN, HAVE EVERYBODY RSVP SO PEOPLE CAN DRIVE UP TO THE POLICE STATION AT ANY TIME, GO INTO THE LOBBY AND DELIVER THESE.
YES, THERE'LL BE A RED, UM, LARGE BOX THAT'S, UM, BE WRAPPED IN CHRISTMAS PAPER SO THEY CAN SEE THAT AND THEY CAN JUST WALK UP AND PLACE IT IN THERE AND GO, IT'LL BE CLOSE TO THE DOOR AS WELL.
I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION FOR CAPTAIN WALKER.
UM, SO YOU'RE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH THIS, BUT I JUST, I TOLD ONE RESIDENT, I BRING IT UP AT THE MEETING, SO, AND BEN KNOWS TOO.
SO, UM, LATELY WE'VE HAD SOME STREET VENDORS THAT SELL FOOD, UM, THAT HAVE BEEN STATIONED AT THE SAME AREAS AND NEIGHBORHOODS, AND HE'S KIND OF BOUNCING AROUND.
SO, SO PEOPLE KNOW LIKE WHAT PROTOCOL WE'RE FOLLOWING OR WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.
CAN YOU FIRST SPEAK TO THE FACT THAT PEOPLE STILL NEED TO CALL THE POLICE FOR REPORTING PURPOSES? SO WE KNOW WHERE RESOURCES SHOULD BE SENT TYPE THING? YES.
[01:25:01]
OFTEN WE'LL RECEIVE, UM, PERSONAL PHONE CALLS OF ISSUES THAT ARE OCCURRING IN THE CITY.UM, AND AS MUCH AS WE APPRECIATE THAT, IT, IT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR ME TO DETERMINE WHERE TO ALLOCATE RESOURCES IN TIMES OF DAY AND LOCATIONS AND SO FORTH.
UM, SO WE, WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO CALL THE NON-EMERGENCY NUMBER OR IF IT'S, IF IT'S NOT AN EMERGENCY DURING BUSINESS HOURS.
UM, AND IF IT IS AN EMERGENCY CALL NINE ONE ONE.
AND CAN YOU REFERENCE TO ME WHAT YOU EXPLAINED ABOUT NOT, WHY THE POLICE ARE UNABLE TO SITE THE PERSON THAT'S SELLING FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD? SO I BELIEVE IT WAS BACK IN JANUARY OF TWO, NINE, 2019, THE LAW HAD CHANGED TO WHERE STREET VENDORS.
UM, IT WAS ILLEGAL PRIOR TO THAT IT WAS ILLEGAL.
UM, AND WE COULD GO AND CONFISCATE THE ITEMS AND, UM, IMPOUNDED AND TAKE ENFORCEMENT ACTION.
UM, THE ONLY TWO REQUIREMENTS THAT SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO DO IS THEY HAVE TO HAVE A BUSINESS LICENSE AND IF, UM, AND THEN ALSO HAVE A PERMIT THROUGH THE CITY.
UM, AND, UM, I BELIEVE WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CITY NOW TO GET THAT INTO PLACE.
CAUSE, UM, IT COMES DOWN TO LIKE KIND OF A QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUE.
SO THERE'S SOME NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE KIND OF FED UP BECAUSE IT KEEPS HAPPENING AND IT HAPPENS ON THE WEEKENDS.
SO IT'S HARD TO, WE DON'T HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT.
SO I'M JUST, I'M GLAD THAT YOU TWO ARE WORKING TOGETHER BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME NEIGHBOR, RESTAURANT RESIDENTS GETTING FRUSTRATED WITH THAT.
THE QUESTION IS THAT I DO HAVE FOR, YOU HAS TO DO WITH STREET RACING IN CARBON CANYON.
I KNOW THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF IT, AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING, UH, PERTAINING TO THE STREET RACING.
UH, THE ISSUE THAT WE DO HAVE IT IS A STATE HIGHWAY AND CHP SHOULD BE THE INITIATOR, AS FAR AS TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT CRANIAL, THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN WITHIN YOUR POWER.
AND, AND AGAIN, LIKEWISE, UM, WE TRY TO PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE WE CAN TO THE COMMUNITY.
UM, CARBON CANYON IS A STATE HIGHWAY.
UM, THE CHP CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENFORCEMENT ON THAT ROAD AS WELL AS TRAFFIC COLLISIONS.
UM, THEN THE TWO YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE, I DON'T KNOW IF CHP TO HAVE TAKEN ONE TRAFFIC COLLISION.
OUR TRAFFIC DIVISION HAS ALWAYS DONE THAT JUST TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY, UM, WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON THE ELECTION, UM, CHP HAS BEEN PUT ON TACTICAL ALERT.
SO THEY'VE BEEN UNABLE TO SEND US RESOURCES TO HELP OUT WITH THAT.
UM, MY TRAFFIC DIVISION HAS BEEN GOING UP THERE AND CONDUCTING ENFORCEMENT, UM, AND IT'S HAPPENING AT NIGHT.
UM, SO AGAIN, I WOULD ENCOURAGE OUR COMMUNITY, UM, TO REACH OUT AND PLACE THOSE PHONE CALLS.
UM, I'VE, WE'VE BEEN SPEAKING TO THE CHP, UM, BUT IT KIND OF SPEAKS VOLUMES IF OUR COMMUNITY IS CALLING THEM DIRECTLY AS WELL.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE HE SAYS THEM? THAT'S IT.
HOW ARE YOU, SIR? YOU MAY, I'M DOING WELL.
MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL STAFF.
UM, AS I JUST REFLECT BACK OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, WE'VE HAD A VERY BUSY WEEK AND LEADING UP TO THE HOLIDAYS, UH, AS YOU KNOW, THE FIRE DISTRICT IS INVOLVED IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT EVENTS THIS TIME OF YEAR.
SO, UM, CONTINUE TO LOOK OUR WEBPAGE AND YOU CAN TAKE NOTE OF ALL THE EVENTS IF YOU'D LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THOSE.
I, AGAIN, THERE'S SO MANY THAT CAN, I DON'T KNOW, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I'M ENCOURAGED THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS CONTINUE TO LOOK AT OUR WEBPAGE AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE PARTICIPATING IN THOSE EVENTS.
AND IN MY 25 YEARS IN THE FIRE SERVICE, UM, I'VE BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END OF A LOT OF THANK YOU'S.
AND SO I'D JUST LIKE TO TURN THAT OVER, YOU KNOW, AS I REFLECT BACK ON THIS LAST WEEK AT THE BLUE RIDGE FIRE AND SAY THANK YOU TO THE COUNCIL FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP, FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN THE WAY OF PROCESSING INFORMATION AND OPENING UP FACILITIES, UM, RE A REALLY BIG THANKS TO THE COMMUNITY FOR, UM, UNDERSTANDING THE EVACUATIONS THAT HAD TO TAKE PLACE.
UM, WHEN WE WORKED TOGETHER, IT ALL WORKS OUT A LOT BETTER.
AND I REALLY JUST LIKE TO GIVE A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT, UH, UH, THE, UH, SHERIFF'S OFFICE, UM, CAME OUT WITH THE CALVARY AND IT HELPED US MANAGE THAT INCIDENT.
UM, THE BEST WE COULD, OBVIOUSLY THE WEATHER DOES WHAT IT DOES, BUT WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MANAGE THAT, TO WHAT I BELIEVE WAS A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME, UH, FOR, FOR OUR CITY HERE.
AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE LAST THING I SAY IS, I KNOW YOU'RE A VETERAN, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE.
AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE, UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.
WELL, ONE THING, UH, YOUR FIRE BOARD MEETING, WHICH WOULD NORMALLY BE SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW HAS BEEN POSTPONED A WEEK BECAUSE OF VETERAN'S DAY.
SO IT WILL NOW OCCUR ON THE 18TH.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.
IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY TYPE OF MAKE CHILD SPILE RELATED EVENT?
[01:30:01]
I'M SORRY, MR. ROGERS JASPER ONE MORE TIME, MAKE A CHILD SMILE, ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT FOR KIDS AND, AND TOY DISTRIBUTION, THERE WILL BE, UH, OUR STAFF HAS SPENT A LOT OF TIME TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO, UM, PROCESS THAT PROGRAM THIS YEAR.THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE, HAVEN'T MISSED A YEAR.
UH, THERE WILL BE MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT'S GOING TO BE SOME VERSION OF A DRIVE-THROUGH WHERE, UM, THE SELECTED CHILDREN WILL SUBMIT THEIR, UM, INTEREST OR REQUEST IN ADVANCE.
UM, SO THE SHOPPING WON'T GET DONE HAND IN HAND, IT MAY GET DONE IN ADVANCE, BUT THERE'LL BE SORT OF A DRIVE-THROUGH AND A PASS OUT.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT'S GOING TO BE SOME FORMAT IN THAT WAY.
THAT'S SUCH AN, JUST AN EXCITING EVENT.
IT REALLY IS TO WATCH THOSE KIDS BEAMING, YOU KNOW, IT REALLY IS.
THIS PROGRAM, HOW DID THAT PROGRAM GET STARTED? WHO THEY, HOW IT GOT? SO HOW DID IT GET STARTED IN CHINO VALLEY? UH, MR. MARQUEZ? UH, FROM WHAT I REMEMBER, IT WAS A BIT BEFORE MY TIME, AND I WANT TO SAY IT WAS EITHER, UM, CHIEF TURNER.
TURNER WAS THE ONE THAT'S RIGHT.
IT WAS BEFORE MY TIME, THEN HE BROUGHT IT FROM RIO ALTO, I BELIEVE IS WHERE HE'D BEEN.
COLTON IS WHERE HE USED TO WORK.
HE BROUGHT IT FROM THAT CITY AND IT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.
UH, AGAIN, I LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, SO I HEAR ABOUT THIS THROUGH FRIENDS AND, UM, UH, THROUGHOUT, THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND HOW APPRECIATIVE THEY ARE.
AND, UM, SO I FIND MYSELF ON THE FORTUNATE OF THE THINGS MOST OF THE TIME.
SO IT'S NICE TO HEAR AND SEE WHAT WE CAN GET BACK.
[ COUNCIL REPORTS Mayor Bennett Chino Valley Unified School District Measure G Citizens Oversight Committee Council Member Marquez League of California Cities Latino Caucus Board Latino Caucus Legislative Committee San Bernardino County Transportation Authority Board Council Member Moran Chino Valley Unified School District Board Omnitrans Board Council Member Rogers Chino Desalter Authority Board Chino Hills Community Foundation Board]
UH, MOVING ON TO COUNCIL REPORTS, UM, ONLY BECAUSE IT'S ON THE AGENDA FIRST, UH, I WILL REPORT VERY BRIEFLY ON THE CHINO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT MEASURE G CITIZENS OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.UH, WE, WE DID MEET LAST WEDNESDAY, UH, IN TOTAL, UH, FOR, FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
THERE HAVE BEEN TWO ISSUANCES OF, OF THE ORIGINAL $750 MILLION BOND POTENTIAL.
THERE'VE BEEN TWO ONE FOR 208 MILLION, ANOTHER FOR 258 MILLION.
SO THERE'S THE TOTAL OF $466 MILLION.
UH, THAT'S OUT THERE BEING, UH, SPENT, UH, WE ARE, WE HAD TO POSTPONE ONE, UH, TRIP AND TOUR OF THE FACILITIES THAT ARE BEING DONE.
THE GOOD NEWS, IF THERE IS ANY GOOD NEWS FOR KIDS NOT BEING IN SCHOOL, UH, IT HAS REALLY, REALLY HELPED OUT THE CONSTRUCTION, UH, PROCESS.
THERE'S TONS OF SCHOOLS WITHIN THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS, UH, THAT ARE ACTUALLY BEING RENOVATED BECAUSE FOR MODERNIZATION, IF IT'S OVER 20 YEARS OLD, UH, THOSE DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT TO RENOVATE.
UH, WE ARE TRYING TO PLAN A TOUR BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
AND IF SO, I WILL BE ATTENDING THAT AND, UM, UH, BRING, UH, A REPORT ON THAT.
BUT, UH, THE REPORT IS FAIRLY LENGTHY, BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SPENDING LITERALLY A HUNDRED, A COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ALREADY HAS BEEN SPENT.
THE BIGGEST SINGLE TICKET ITEM IS SORT OF RECONSTRUCTION OF CHINO HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, AN ANCIENT SCHOOL AND HAD TONS OF ISSUES WITH GALVANIZED PIPES AND RUST IN THERE AND, AND, UH, UH, ASBESTOS ISSUES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO, UH, IT'S BASICALLY, THEY WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE ENOUGH ROOM AT THE SOUTH OR THE NORTH END OF THEIR CAMPUS TO BUILD A BRAND NEW SCHOOL, WHICH IS BEING BUILT RIGHT NOW.
AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY, UH, GOING UP IN, UH, CONSTRUCTION OF SOME OF THOSE CLASS CLASSROOM BUILDINGS.
SO IF YOU'RE EVER IN THAT AREA, YOU'LL LOOK AROUND AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY'RE BEING BUILT, UH, RIGHT OFF OF 10TH STREET.
SO, UH, UH, I'LL GIVE YOU MORE AS WE, WE HEAR MORE, BUT I JUST WANTED TO BRIEFLY REPORT ON THAT.
UH, NEXT WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER MARQUEZ, UH, LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES, LATINO CAUCUS, BOARD, AND LATINO CAUCUS, LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE.
THERE WAS NO REPORT ON THOSE TWO ITEMS. I'LL GO TO SCAG TRANSPORTATION.
THE FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WAS SUBMITTED TO THE REGIONAL COUNCIL WHERE IT WAS APPROVED.
AND THEN ALSO WE WENT OVER OUR MEETING SCHEDULE FOR THE YEAR, AND THEN AT THE END OF THE MEETING, THEY WANTED TO TALK ABOUT ARENA AND THEY STARTED GETTING INTO DETAILED STUFF ABOUT, AND IT WAS ACTUALLY CLOSED SESSION ITEM.
SO WE'RE GOING TO REFER IT WHEN WE REFERRED IT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY ECONOMIC AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
SO THEY COULD TALK ABOUT THIS IN CLOSED SESSION, BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE WERE REQUESTED TO WRITE A LETTER IN SUPPORT OF THIS IN MY ONLY CONCERNS ARE THIS.
UM, WE DID HAVE A ARENA COMMITTEE THIS PAST YEAR AND A HALF, TWO YEARS, AND IT WAS LED BY AN ORANGE COUNTY COUNCIL MEMBER.
AND, UH, IN YOUR BELINDA, AS AN EXAMPLE, THEIR ORIGINAL ARENA NUMBER WAS 207.
AND, UM, THE DAY OF ACCEPTANCE OF THE ARENA, UH, PROCESS, UH, THERE WAS PUSHBACK AND IT WAS CALLED THE BAIL BAILEY ERIC CITY PLAN.
SO WE MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO, UM, UH, THE ARENA NUMBER.
SO WE WERE GOING TO BE GETTING
[01:35:01]
PROBABLY 60 TO 90,000 MORE UNITS AND THE OTHER AREAS IN ORANGE COUNTY.SO FROM YOUR BLENDS, AS AN EXAMPLE, THERE, THEIR ARENA NUMBER WAS 207.
AND AS WE ADJUSTED IT, IT WAS 23, 22 TO BE FAIR AMONGST THE REGIONS.
UM, FOR US, OUR INITIAL RENO NUMBER WAS FOURTH AND OVER 4,000 AND WE GOT ADJUSTED DOWN TO 3,400.
SO I WOULD BE REALLY CAUTIOUS UNTIL IT GOES TO THE REGIONAL REGIONAL COUNCIL BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S THAT, UM, MOVING ON SPC TA IT'S NOT ON MY REPORT.
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECT.
THERE'S A NEW THING CALLED OPTIMIZING EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCH PLAN.
AND WITH THIS IS GONNA DO, IT'S GONNA ADD COMMUNICATION TO A NURSE SPECIFICALLY BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY DISPATCH A UNIT OUT TO THAT, UH, PROPERTY OR HOME.
AND I GUESS OUR CHIEF SHACKLEFORD IS PART, PART OF A STEERING COMMITTEE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO BE CHANGING HOW ON, HOW WE DISPATCH EMERGENCY EMERGENCY CALLS IN THE FUTURE.
AND THEN A METROLINK TODAY, WE BASICALLY HAD AN AUDIT OUR FIELD HEDGING, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE REVISING OUR POLICY.
AND THEN THE LAST THING, UH, WELL, COUNCIL COMMENTS, I WAIT, BUT THOSE ARE MY REPORTS.
COUNCIL MEMBER OF MORAN, UH, CHINO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FIRST, AND THEN MEET TRANS SCHOOL BOARD WAS SURPRISINGLY AND GRATEFULLY VERY SHORT 35 MINUTES, WHICH YOU KNOW, FOR SCHOOL BOARD IS VERY SHORT.
SO JUST A LOT OF BUSINESS CONDUCTED.
UM, THERE WAS A LOT OF PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM PARENTS, UM, NON-ATHLETE PARENTS.
SO PARENTS THAT ARE FROM SPIRIT LEADING GROUPS, UM, AND BAND BECAUSE WELL, THE DISTRICT HAS ALLOWED CONDITIONING TO RESUME SPORTS CONDITIONING.
UM, THEY'VE STILL LIMITED GROUPS SUCH AS THE DANCE TEAM AND SPIRIT LEADERS.
SO THERE WAS PARENTS VOICING THEIR OPINION THAT THEY ALSO WANT TO BE ALLOWED ON CAMPUS BAND CAN BE ON CAMPUS, BUT THEY'RE ON THE FIELD, BUT WITH NO INSTRUMENTS.
SO, UM, THERE JUST SEEMS TO NOT BE A LOT OF LIKE EQUITY IN THE PARENTS' EYES ABOUT HOW PEOPLE ARE REENTERING AGAIN, EVERYONE'S TRYING THEIR BEST.
BUT SO THE MAJORITY WAS PARENTS EXPRESSING THAT CONCERN AND THEN JUST BUSINESS MEETING WAS OVER.
AND THEN FOR AMI AND OTHER SHORT MEETING, THEY, WE HAD A PRESENTATION ON, UM, THE IMPACT THAT COVID HAS HAD ON OUR RIDERSHIP COMPARED TO LAST YEAR.
UM, WE'RE ONE OF THE LOWER RIDERSHIP AREAS ANYWAY, BUT LIKE CHINO WAS DOWN 66%, UM, FONTANA, WHICH HAS THE LARGEST RIDERSHIP.
UM, THEY WERE DOWN, I THINK 65%.
SO JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, UM, HOW ARE WE GOING TO RECOUP THINGS AND RIHANNA, JUST LIKE ALL THESE OTHER AGENCIES.
I THINK PROBABLY THE MAJORITY OF ALL OF OUR BOARD MEETINGS ARE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, FINANCIAL IMPACTS AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD.
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR US REGARDING THE OMNI RIDE.
IT SEEMS LIKE I SEE THAT EVERYWHERE IN THE CITY COAST HILLS AT DOIN, IT'S DOING PRETTY GOOD.
UM, I HAD A REPORT ON WHAT WE'VE HAD RIDERSHIP AT THE LAST MEETING, SO I'LL GET SOMETHING FROM AARON AND I'LL REPORT ON IT AGAIN.
UM, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE, I'VE ASKED ERIN THIS QUESTION.
SO LIKE, I WOULD SEE THE OMNI VAN LIKE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND I'M THINKING IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT.
SO IF IT'S IT'S ON DEMAND, SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE VAN SITTING SOMETIMES IN DIFFERENT PLACES.
SO IT'S NOT A ROUTE WHERE YOU CONTINUOUSLY SEE IT MOVING.
SO THAT'S KIND OF NORMAL, WHICH IS WHERE IT'S SAYING, YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF WANT TO SAY, WELL, WHY AREN'T THEY WORKING? THEY'RE JUST IN THE PARKING LOT.
UM, PETER, UM, ON TINO TO SALTER CHINO, THE SALTER AUTHORITY CDA A VERY, A PRE-BRIEF MEETING.
WE HAD REWARDED A COUPLE OF CON CONSTRUCTION, CRON CONTRACTS FOR WELL MONITORING SERVICES ON THE SOUTH ARCHIBALD PIPELINE PROJECT.
OTHER THAN THAT, IT WAS JUST MORE UPDATES ON FUNDING, ET CETERA, FOR THE WHOLE CDA.
SO QUICK MEETING, GOOD MEETING.
AND HOW ABOUT SHANNON HILLS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION BOARD, THE FOUNDATION BOARD, UH, CYNTHIA AND I ARE GOING TO HAVE TAG TEAM ON THIS ONE.
I WASN'T ABLE TO STAY FOR THE WHOLE MEETING.
AND THEN CYNTHIA CONTINUED ON WITH IT.
SOME OF THE THINGS WE DID A REVIEW OR ACT ON, UH, THERE, THE PUBLIC ARTS COMMITTEE WAS FORMED FAIRLY RECENTLY.
AND ONE OF THE REQUESTS WAS FOR THE CHINO HILLS FOUNDATION, THE CHART'S ENTITY OF IT, WHICH IS THE CHINO HILLS ARTS TO PROVIDE A, UH, A MEMBER FOR THIS FIVE PERSON NEW COMMITTEE.
SO GLEN ANDERSON WAS SELECTED FROM OUR FOUNDATION BOARD TO ACT AS THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE FOUNDATION.
UH, THE CITY HAD PROPOSED, UH, SOME, UH, PLAYGROUND, ANOTHER PLAYGROUND FOR POSSIBLE FUNDING FROM THE FOUNDATION AT CROSSROADS PARK.
THERE'S TALK OF FOLLOWING THROUGH ON A PROJECT THAT'S BEEN
[01:40:01]
SUGGESTED.AND, UH, THEY APPROACHED THE CITY APPROACH, THE FOUNDATION FOR FUNDING, UM, UP TO A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ON AN INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND, I THINK IS THE EXACT TERM, WHICH MEANS THAT A PLAYGROUND SPECIFICALLY FOR KIDS WITH, WITH DISABILITIES, HANDICAPS, ET CETERA, UH, DISABILITIES.
AND, UH, WE DECIDED TO DEFER THAT BECAUSE IT WAS SO NEW FOR MOST OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS.
THEY HADN'T HAD A CHANCE TO THINK ABOUT IT.
AND WE USUALLY GO THROUGH A ROUTE OF APPROVAL ON FUNDING, SOMETHING, ESPECIALLY SOMETHING THAT MAJOR.
SO WE'VE DEFERRED IT TO THE NEXT MEETING, AFTER THAT I HAD TO LEAVE.
AND THEN CYNTHIA PROBABLY HAS SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, WHICH I MAY NOT EVEN HEARD YET ON.
THIS WAS YESTERDAY'S BOARD MEETING BY THE WAY.
SO WHEN WE CONTINUED AFTER YOU LEFT PETER, UM, SO WE'RE REVIEWING A NEW LOGO.
IT'S BEEN, I THINK THEY SAID 11 SINCE WE STARTED AND WE HAD THIS LOGO, IT'S CREATING SOME CHALLENGES WITH REPRODUCING, JUST WANTED A NEW LOOK.
SO, UM, THE BOARD APPROVED THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION THAT THEY SUBMITTED.
AND THEN WHAT ELSE HAS VIDEO? OH, WE, UM, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO, UM, GET TOGETHER A DONOR RECOGNITION POLICY, UM, COMPARING TO WHAT SOME OTHER, YOU KNOW, OTHER FOUNDATIONS HAVE DONE AS FAR AS HOW WE RECOGNIZE OUR DONORS, THE LEVELS OF SPONSORSHIPS.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE SADLY REVIEWED OUR CALENDAR IN WHICH ALL OF OUR EVENTS WERE CANCELED THIS YEAR.
SO LIKE MANY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.
SO, UM, WE DID TALK ABOUT THE HOME TOUR.
WE WERE TRYING TO COME UP WITH A DROP DEADLINE DAY OF WHEN, UM, CAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO A SPRING HOME TOUR.
SO WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT IT.
AT WHAT POINT DO WE, UM, YOU KNOW, SAY WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A SPRING HOME TOUR.
AND WE CAME UP WITH, UH, I THINK IT WAS LIKE THE END OF JANUARY, WHICH IS HOW IT USUALLY IS THAT IF THINGS HAVE NOT LIFTED BY THEN, UM, AND WE CAN'T SECURE THE HOMES THAT WE WON'T HAVE A SPRING HOME TOUR.
AND THEN JUST OUR COUNCIL COMMENTS, WE TALKED ABOUT YOU AND THEN WAGERED.
I'M SURE YOU DEFENDED DEFENDANT.
[ COUNCIL COMMENTS]
WELL, SINCE YOU'RE GOING, HOW ABOUT YOU DO YOUR COUNSEL.I HAVE JUST A FEW QUICK, QUICK ONES.
I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF THIS, SO I'LL DEFER TO BEN.
SO I HAVE GOTTEN, UM, SOME CONCERNS SLASH COMPLAINTS FROM MY NEIGHBORS IN THE SOUTH, AS WELL AS I'VE EXPERIENCED IT.
SO ABOUT 11 OR 1130 AT NIGHT, THERE ARE COMMERCIAL JETS THAT ARE FLYING SOLO.
IT, IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE LANDING ON OUR HOUSE AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE COMING FROM CHINO OR ONTARIO.
I DON'T KNOW IF THE FLIGHT PATTERN HAS CHANGED, BUT IT'S, IT'S BAD.
CAN I JUMP IN? YES, PLEASE DO.
ON THE COUNTY SIDE, HAS THIS BEEN RECENT OR WAS IT A MONTH OR TWO AGO? IT'S BEEN KIND OF, WELL, IT'S BEEN RECENT.
THE LAST ONE MAYBE HAS BEEN A WEEK THOUGH.
SO THAT, UH, THERE'VE BEEN A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS TO THE COUNTY THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT.
AND THERE WAS ONE PARTICULAR FLIGHT, A FEDEX FLIGHT THAT WAS LEAVING FROM CHINO AIRPORT.
AND, UH, THEY HAVE SPOKEN TO FEDEX AND FEDEX IS SUPPOSEDLY WORKING ON CHANGING THEIR ROUTING OR DEPARTURE.
SO IF A RESIDENT HAS, IF IT IS COMING FROM CHINO OR EVEN IF IT'S ONTARIO, SO WHAT'S A GOOD COUNTY NUMBER OR WHO SHOULD THEY CALL IT? THE COUNTY COUNCIL MEMBER THAT REPRESENTS THEM, WHICH WOULD BE PETER ROGERS FOR THE COUNTY.
SO, UM, THEN WHO SHOULD THEY CALL LIKE, CAUSE IT'S REALLY W WE, WE REFER TO THE DEPARTMENT OF AIRPORTS.
SO WOULD THAT BE, UM, JIM COMMISSIONERS ON THE, WE CAN REFER IT TO JIM JENKINS.
JENKINS IS A GOOD PERSON TO CALL I THINKING WAY MORE KISSES ON THE COUNTY.
WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT THAT IF IT KEEPS HAPPENING, I'M GOING TO GO, THEY NEED TO TALK TO CHINO BECAUSE I'VE UNDER, YOU KNOW, IT'S AWFUL HARD TO PASS THE BUCK SCREENS UP IN BETWEEN.
UM, I JUST HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
SO, UM, SATURDAY, UM, THE SHOPS IS HAVING A DRAG THROUGH COLLECTION DRIVE OF GIFT CARDS.
SO, UM, IT'S TO GIVE TO THE CHINO VALLEY FIRE FOUNDATION TO DISTRIBUTE DURING THE HOLIDAYS, AS THEY SEE NEEDED TO, TO FAMILIES.
UM, SO YOU CAN SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES BY BUYING A GIFT CARD, AND THEN YOU CAN SUPPORT THE FIRE FOUNDATION AND RESIDENTS IN NEED.
UM, SO IT'S THE PARKING LOT ADJACENT TO TRADER JOE'S IT'S DRIVE THROUGH.
YOU NEVER GET OUT OF YOUR CAR AND IT'S FROM 8:00 AM TO NOON RAIN OR SHINE.
AND THEN DANIEL, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU.
UM, SO, AND EVEN BEN, SO THE SO-CALLED WIDENING PROJECT HAS BEEN COMPLETED, UM, BUT IT LOOKS, IT LOOKS AWFUL.
THERE'S CONES, THERE'S CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS.
AND FOR A WHILE THERE WAS THE PORT-A-POTTY THE PORT-A-POTTIES GONE, WHICH IS GOOD.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE STATUS WITH, I THINK IT WAS EDISON THAT WAS HOLDING THIS UP OR WHO WAS IT? THAT'S CORRECT.
EDISON IS STILL WORKING WITH CALTRANS.
UM, CALTRAIN IS TRYING TO GET AT A, WE LOCATE SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AT THIS POINT.
UH, CALKINS IS SIMPLY WAITING FOR EDISON TOMATOES.
UH, THOSE CHANGES, UH, WE GET AN UPDATE FROM CALTRANS ON APPROXIMATELY EVERY OTHER WEEK.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY THEY STILL DON'T HAVE

AN ANSWER FOR US.UH, WE HAVE ASKED THEM TO MOVE THE RELOCATE, THE PORT-A-POTTY TO CLEAN THE AREA AS BEST AS THEY CAN.
