& SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
CITY OF CHINO
Overview
The “City of Chino General Plan” was last adopted in 1981 and recent amendments were made to the
Circulation Element (1992) and the Housing Element (2001). The City is in the midst of doing a
comprehensive update with the primary consultant Design Community and Environment (DC&E). The
original 1981 General Plan lists various implementation polices to guide the development and
redevelopment of public and private lands.
Key Relevant Points
The City of Chino has designated few specific areas for development opportunities. Bounded by Chino
Hills parkway, Ramona Avenue and State Highway 71, the triangle-shaped 13 acre property is zoned for
commercial and office uses. Lands adjacent to Central Avenue are also planned for commercial
development with a mix of office and retail.
Other prominent corridor-adjacent areas that are zoned for commercial uses are North Central Avenue
and Pomona Freeway at Benson Avenue.
CITY OF CHINO HILLS
Overview
The “City of Chino Hills General Plan” is currently undergoing a comprehensive update. The Circulation
Element and Land Use Element have been updated in 2000 and 2005 respectively. The General Plan
intends major commercial growth with master-planned communities. The City adopted an Economic
Incentive Zone (EIZ) to encourage commercial development on key sites throughout the community.
Key Relevant Points
Prime retail sites have been identified at:
• Chino Hills Parkway & Pipeline Center
• Chino Hills Promenade
• Rolling Ridge Plaza
• Woodview Plaza
New transit plan includes:
• Service along Peyton Drive from Riverside Drive to Soquel Canyon Road to
Central and to Chino Hills Parkway to serve more residential areas.
• Increased frequency on Omnitrans Route 71 along Grand Avenue, Chino Hills
Parkway and Pipeline Avenue to provide access to major new developments.
• Regional transit access to other cities, e.g., Grand Avenue service from City of
Chino to City of Diamond Bar.
