FINAL
Chair Dopp closed Public Hearing.
Commissioner Boling stated the property to the north appears to be a utility (water reclamation facility) site.
He asked if staff knew who the ownership is to the vacant parcels to the east.
Vincent Acuna answered he does not.
Chair Dopp stated considering it is a water reclamation site, he asked is there any concerns of odor.
Vincent Acuna answered there are no odor concerns. He said when the project does come in for Design
Review, it will go through the normal City process, and will take that into account.
Vice Chair Morales stated he knows the neighborhood, and to subdivide the lot makes sense and it’s a good
idea.
Commissioner Boling mentioned the ownership of the vacant parcels belong to Cucamonga Valley Water
