Community Comments
Community residents have made their voices heard regarding the town’s development and rural character. Here are a few of the key comments:
First Name | Comment |
|---|---|
Lonny | My concern is multiple airfields using the same flight path |
Helga | This would begin the "industrialization” of Chino; changing the face and character of Chino Valley FOREVER. |
Shirley | In this important proposal, people want something more concrete than we have to build it to see what happens |
Louie | The airport will be an eternal noise maker for the area forever. |
Rich | There is NOTHING rural about 80000 operations per year at this proposed airport. |
Dwight | No environmental or economic studies were done on the proposed airfield. It is not clear how soon fire services would be on location at the proposed airfield. I question where the fire trucks would come from in case of a fire, how long it would take for them to get there, and how much damage would be done by the time crews arrived. |
Jo | A lot of people who have no say in Chino Valley politics will be hurt by this project if it is allowed to go forward. We are not being good neighbors. |
Ellisa | I hate that annoying buzzing, vibrational sound. |
Jim & Janet | “Preserve our water resources and scenic vistas while considering future growth.” |
Tom | “Keep Chino rural! Protect our open spaces and agricultural lands.” |
These comments reflect the community’s strong commitment to shaping the town’s future while preserving the lifestyle, environment, and character that residents cherish.
Community Concerns About Proposition 410
Proposition 410 has generated discussion about the proposed Perkins Ranch development, the zoning change affecting approximately 390 acres, and the potential effects of future development in the Chino Valley area.
Community comments can address a range of subjects, including land use, traffic, aircraft activity, noise, water resources, wildlife, infrastructure and the character of the surrounding area.
What Residents Are Discussing
The issues raised by residents and community members can be organized into several broad categories:
- Land use: How the zoning change could affect the future use and development of the property.
- Airfield activity: Questions about the proposed privately owned and operated airfield and associated uses.
- Noise and aircraft: Concerns about potential aircraft activity and its effects on nearby residents.
- Traffic and infrastructure: Questions about roads, transportation and infrastructure requirements associated with development.
- Water: Questions about water resources and future development in the area.
- Wildlife and habitat: Concerns about wildlife movement, habitat and potential changes resulting from development.
- Future development: Questions about what additional phases could mean for the property and surrounding community.
These concerns are not all questions about the same governmental action. Some relate directly to the zoning referendum, while others concern the airfield or potential future development.
Separating Community Concerns From Documented Facts
Community comments are an important part of public discussion, but individual statements should be distinguished from facts established by official records.
For example, the Town’s documents establish the zoning change in Ordinance 2026-965 and the conditional use permit for the proposed airfield in Resolution 2026-1303. The Town has also stated that later project phases would require separate Council approval if and when they are presented.
Readers can therefore consider community concerns alongside the underlying governmental documents and project information.
Why Community Input Matters
Public discussion provides a way for residents to identify questions about how proposed development could affect the community.
For Proposition 410, those questions can be examined against the zoning ordinance, the conditional use permit, Town planning documents and other available public records.
The goal of this page is to provide a place for community concerns to be understood in the broader context of the Perkins Ranch proposal and Proposition 410.
