Chino FAQ
Does CAP apply to single-family homes?
Most single-family homes use ministerial permits and bypass CAP review. Custom homes in unincorporated areas requiring discretionary approvals must demonstrate CAP consistency.
Does the Renewable Energy Element block desert solar?
No, it directs utility-scale renewables to designated zones while restricting development in conservation overlay districts and tortoise habitat. Permitted projects still need full environmental review.
