RECOMMENDATION
Approve, by motion of the Planning Commission, PL19-0079.DM02 (Site Approval Developer Modification), an amendment to the originally approved Project.
BACKGROUND
On December 7, 2020, the Chino Planning Commission approved PL19-0079 (Site Approval) and PL19-0080 (Special Conditional Use Permit) to allow the construction of two medical office buildings, an assisted living/memory care facility, and a future commercial pad, located on the north side of Philadelphia Street, west of Benson Avenue and east of Town Square. Although no specific user was determined at the time of entitlement, the future commercial pad was intended to accommodate a drive-thru fast-food restaurant. In March 2024, the Planning Commission approved a developer modification (PL19-0079.DM01) to the project for the assisted living/memory care facility. The applicant requested to reduce the overall size of the facility by eliminating the third story of the building, which reduced the size of the facility and maximum bed count. Phase 1, which includes the medical office buildings, has been completed, and Phase 2, which includes the assisted living/memory care facility is near the issuance of building permits.
The applicant, Clover Estate, Inc., has submitted a subsequent request to modify the previously approved project for the pad building to increase the size of the drive-thru commercial pad building by 3,000 square feet, with subsequent minor changes.
