The encroachment of shrubs or vegetation, including a tree, upon a neighbor's property is a common civil issue in California. This issue must be addressed as such, therefore, the City of Chino has no jurisdiction to involve itself in civil matters.

The best course of action is to research California neighbor laws and consult with a legal authority if you are unsuccessful at resolving the matter with your neighbor as one.
