RECOMMENDATION
Approve, by motion of the Planning Commission, a one-year time extension for PL23-0121 (Tentative Parcel Map No. 20806).
BACKGROUND
The applicant, CDA+PDG, received approval by the Planning Commission on November 20, 2024, to subdivide a 9.5-acre parcel of land into two parcels for the future construction of a faith-based campus on the northerly parcel of the subdivision. The project site is located at 11910 S. Benson Avenue. Applications for the project include the following:
• PL22-0033 (Site Approval) - A request to construct a faith-based campus totaling 42,664 square feet on 4.7 acres of land, to be constructed over five phases consisting of a temple, dining hall, community education center, and two residential units.
• PL22-0034 (Special Conditional Use Permit) - A request to establish the campus as a regional scale place of worship.
• PL23-0121 (TPM 20806) - A request to subdivide a 9.5-acre parcel of land into two parcels consisting of 4.7 and 4.63-acre lots with a street dedication of 0.17 acres.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Per the Subdivision Map Act and the City of Chino Subdivision Ordinance, approval of a tentative map expires two years after Planning Commission approval if the final map has not been recorded. The applicant is requesting approval of a one-year time extension to allow for additional time to complete the ongoing coordination and review of project plans. The applicant indicates that the project is nearing completion of the plan review process and anticipates submitting a third plan check package by the end of 2026.
The Subdivision Ordinance grants the authority to extend the expiration date of a tentative map to the Planning Commission. If the request for the time extension is approved, PL23- 0121 (Tentative Parcel Map No. 20806) would expire November 20, 2027. The remaining applications (PL22-0033 and PL22-0034) requested and received all necessary time extensions, which were approved by the Director of Development Services in accordance with the Zoning Code. Project approval for these applications expires November 20, 2027. Granting a time extension for PL23-0121 would extend the map expiration date consistent with the remainder of the project.
PUBLIC NOTICE
A 10-day public notice was mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the project site. In addition, a notice was published in the Chino Champion on November 7, 2026. In response to public notice, no comments have been received. The notice meets legal noticing requirements.
