The Ontario Plan 2050 Policy Plan Amendment Supplemental Environmental Impact Report

The Ontario Plan 2050 Policy Plan Amendment Supplemental Environmental Impact Report

The City of Ontario (City) is the lead agency for a proposed project that is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed project is a Policy Plan Amendment to The Ontario Plan (TOP), processed concurrently with the EBPSP project to strategically evaluate a single set of amendments, allow for a thoughtful and holistic assessment of proposed land use modifications, and ensure consistency with the Policy Plan's overarching purpose and intent. The Policy Plan Amendment project component primarily involves modifying the currently permitted and planned TOP land use pattern across more than 1,300 acres in southern Ontario. These proposed changes to TOP are driven by requests from property owners and developers who seek to alter the allowable type or intensity of land use on their properties as well as land use changes required to improve land use compatibility, maintain compliance with state laws, uphold long-term planning goals, and plan for a cohesive land use pattern that repositions the southwest portion of the city as a regional employment and logistics center. A critical aspect of these proposed Policy Plan Amendments is to ensure compliance with state laws.
