Chino Valley Zoning Ordinance Update

The Zoning Ordinance Update aligns local development standards with the Make it Chino! 2040 General Plan, emphasizing the community’s vision, values, and future growth goals.

The update will:

• Translate the policy direction and land use map from the General Plan into clear, enforceable zoning districts and standards
• Align permitted uses and development intensities with the General Plan’s growth areas and character designations
• Provide a streamlined, user-friendly code that helps residents, property owners, and developers understand what can be built, and where
• Support community character objectives such as preserving rural small-town character, open space emphasis, safe neighborhoods, and resilient infrastructure
  
• Promotes a vibrant local economy and business growth

The Zoning Ordinance Update is the next major step in implementing the vision established by the Make It Chino2040 General Plan. While the General Plan outlines what the community wants to achieve (its long-term goals for growth, land use, housing, transportation, and quality of life), the Zoning Ordinance defines how those goals are carried out day to day through development regulations and review processes.

Residents, property owners, and business leaders are encouraged to stay involved throughout the process. Your feedback will help ensure the updated ordinance works for everyone who calls Chino Valley home.
