The General Plan Update would update and supersede the City’s current General Plan, which was adopted in September 13, 1994 and subsequently amended. The General Plan Update encompasses all text and figures of six General Plan Elements: Land Use Element, Circulation Element, Conservation Element, Safety Element, Noise Element and Economic Development Element. The environmental review for the General Plan Update is expected to encompass proposed changes to these six elements and associated changes to the City of Chino Hills Zoning Map and Municipal Code to maintain consistency with the General Plan Update. Referred to within this document as the proposed “Project,” the General Plan Update plans for the City of Chino Hills’ continued development during the next twenty years. This Initial Study finds that consistent with Section 15168 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, a Program EIR will be prepared for the General Plan Update. A program EIR will be used to assess the comprehensive nature of the General Plan Update and will serve as a resource from which the potential environmental impacts of future development activities in the City can be evaluated. The Program EIR will address the following topics identified as potentially significant within this Initial Study: Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology/Soils, Greenhouse Gas, Hazards/Hazard Materials, Hydrology/Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Noise, Population/Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation/Traffic and Utilities/Service Systems. In addition, although potential impacts relative to Aesthetics are not identified, the Program EIR will present a review of existing City scenic resources and visual character and how the General Plan Update will affect the resources and character.

Description of project: (Describe the whole action involved, including but not limited to later phases of the project, and any secondary, support, or off-site features necessary for its implementation.) PROJECT BACKGROUND Incorporated on December 1, 1991, it’s been over twenty years since Chino Hills laid out its vision for the future. Following the desires of its citizens, Chino Hills set out to be a community with high quality residential and commercial areas in a rural setting, a high level of public services, and a pleasing environment in which to live, work and shop. Today, Chino Hills has achieved its vision. General Plan Update 13GPA02 - Initial Study Page 2 City of Chino Hills Chino Hills is known for its high quality of life and beautiful rural atmosphere. The community, with its current population of 74,7991, has access to 3,420 acres of publicly owned open space, 40 parks, 38 miles of trails, and 5 community buildings. Its city boundaries encompass approximately 28,816 acres, 7,366 acres of which are part of the Chino Hills State Park of land area. The General Plan Update plans for the City of Chino Hills’ continued development during the next twenty years. To this end, the General Plan addresses the critical issues that will shape Chino Hills’ future, specifically: • Are there opportunities for new commercial and employment generating land uses? • Where will future growth occur? • What are the opportunities to enhance the community’s sustainability through transit and mixed-use development? • How will Chino Hills ensure its older and special neighborhoods continue to be maintained? • How will Chino Hills ensure its special and cohesive community identity is retained? • How will the City maintain its rural setting? • How will the City be able to designate space for its State-mandated allocation of housing units under the Regional Housing Needs Assessment?” • Is traffic adequately managed? • How should the community maintain its open spaces? • Are there opportunities for additional open space and recreational facilities? • How can the City support more energy efficient facilities and practices? • What can the community do to support healthy living? GENERAL PLAN CONTENTS Every California city must adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan. The General Plan must cover a local jurisdiction’s entire planning area and address the broad range of issues associated with the City’s development. The General Plan is the City’s constitution or blueprint for its long-range physical development. California law requires every general plan to cover, at minimum, seven major issue areas: land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, noise and public safety. Within the City of Chino Hills General Plan, these issue areas are addressed in the following seven chapters (referred to as elements). In addition, the City General Plan includes one optional element which addresses economic development. 1. Land Use Element: The Land Use Element is required by State law. It designates all lands within the City for specific uses such as housing, commercial, industrial, and open space uses. The Land Use Element also provides development regulations for each land use category, and overall land use policies for the City. 1 2010 U.S. Census Report, Profile of General Population and Housing Characteristics. General Plan Update 13GPA02 - Initial Study Page 3 City of Chino Hills 2. Circulation Element: The Circulation Element is required by State law. It specifies the general location and extent of existing and proposed major streets and other transportation facilities. It also specifies infrastructure facilities that carry water, wastewater, and storm water. 3. Housing Element: The Housing Element is required by State law and requires separate review by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Housing Elements are required to be updated every eight years. 4. Parks, Recreation and Open Space Element: Although the Parks and Recreation components of this Element are not required by State law, the Open Space component is required. This Element provides guidance for development of future park and recreation facilities and programs, and the preservation, acquisition, management, and use of open space in the City. 5. Conservation Element: The Conservation Element is

    III. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING A. Overview of Environmental Setting Section 15130 of the State CEQA Guidelines requires an EIR to include a discussion of the cumulative impacts of a proposed project when the incremental effects of a project are cumulatively considerable. Cumulative impacts are defined as impacts that result from the combination of the proposed project evaluated in the EIR combined with other projects causing related impacts. Cumulatively considerable means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects. Section 15125 (c) of the State CEQA Guidelines requires an EIR to include a discussion on the regional setting that the project site is located within. Detailed environmental setting descriptions are contained in each respective section, as presented in Chapter IV of this Draft EIR. B. Project Location The City of Ontario (City) is in the southwestern corner of San Bernardino County and is surrounded by the Cities of Chino and Montclair, and unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County to the west; the Cities of Upland and Rancho Cucamonga to the north; the City of Fontana and unincorporated land in San Bernardino County to the east; the Cities of Eastvale and Jurupa Valley to the east and south. The City is in the central part of the Upper Santa Ana River Valley. This portion of the valley is bounded by the San Gabriel Mountains to the north; the Chino Hills, Puente Hills, and San Jose Hills to the west; the Santa Ana River to the south; and Lytle Creek Wash on the east.

Chief Flood Control Engineer NOTICE OF EXTENDED PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD RE NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY (NOA)/ NOTICE OF INTENT (NOI) TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT CARBON CANYON CHANNEL FLOOD CONTROL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT CHINO HILLS, CALIFORNIA The San Bernardino County Flood Control District (District) prepared a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the construction and maintenance of flood control improvements to the Carbon Canyon Flood Control Channel in the City of Chino Hills, California from an existing interim channel to an ultimate condition channel (See attached Figure 1: Regional Location) (Project). The Project goal is to reduce the risk of flooding during a 100-year storm event by increasing the capacity and conveyance of the District-maintained facility. The site is generally located within an area characterized as urbanized, primarily with single family residences to the north and south of the channel. There is a large Southern California Edison (SCE) right-of-way (ROW) south of the channel, intersecting the channel in two locations. There is a church complex at the west end of the channel (Chino Valley Community Church) as well as a recreational field with irrigated grass and ornamental plants that borders Little Chino Creek. There are commercial uses at the east end near Pipeline Avenue. The Project area covers approximately 4,850 linear feet in length and 150 feet in width where the existing interim channel already exists.
