Chino Hills Development Project Faces Delays Over Lake Permitting and Market Issues
What happened
A 354-unit apartment project, known as Rancho Cielito, is facing significant delays and seeking council approval for extensions. The project is located southwest of Lake Los Serranos and has been underway since 2019. The developer, Jack Greening, requested a 36-month extension from the Chino Hills Planning Commission due to ongoing issues with the lake and the need for various regulatory permits.
Why it matters
The city's chief concern revolves around the long-term ownership, sustainability, and management of the lake, which is part of the 48-acre development. The project requires permits from the Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Army Corps of Engineers for any modifications to habitat areas, stream courses, or water bodies.
