City of Fontana
Statement of Investment Policy
1 I. OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the unexpended cash in the City’s treasury and outline policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled cash.
SCOPE
Included in the scope of the City's investment policy are the following major guidelines and practices which are to be used in achieving the City's primary investment objectives:
Investment Authority and Responsibilities
Eligible Financial Institutions
Authorized Investments
Investment Maturities
Cash Management
Evaluation of Investment Performance
Investment Reporting
Investment Policy Review and Adoption
It is intended that this policy cover all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City. These funds are accounted for in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and include the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds, capital project funds, enterprise funds, internal service funds and agency funds.
Funds excluded from this policy include proceeds of debt issuance, retirement/pension funds and deferred compensation funds, and pension or other post-employment benefit funds held in a trust.
OBJECTIVES
The City's cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible. The City attempts to obtain the highest yield obtainable as long as investments meet the criteria established for safety and liquidity.
114
City of Fontana
Statement of Investment Policy
2 Criteria for selecting investments in the order of priority are:
1. Safety. The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest, or a combination of these amounts. The City shall invest in a manner that seeks to avoid capital losses resulting from institution default or the erosion of market value.
2. Liquidity. This refers to the ability to convert an investment into cash with a minimal risk of losing some portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an important investment quality, especially when the need for unexpected funds occurs occasionally.
3. Yield. Yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide and becomes a consideration only after the basic requirements of safety and liquidity have been met.
Portfolio diversification in terms of maturity, instrument types and issuer helps to reduce the overall risk while obtaining an average market rate of return. Therefore, the portfolio should consist of a mix of various types of securities, issuers and maturities. Occa sional measured losses are inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio's investment return, provided that adequate diversification has bee n implemented.
The City operates its pooled cash investments under the "Prudent Person Rule" which obligates a fiduciary to ensure that:
"... investment shall be made with the exercise of that degree of judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation but for investment considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived."
All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public t rust.
Investment officials s hall recognize that the investment portfolio is s ubject to public review and evaluation. T he overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust.
115

117
City of Fontana
Statement of Investment Policy
5 SELECTION OF ELIGIBLE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
In selecting financial institutions for deposit or investment of funds, the Management Services Department shall consider the creditworthiness of the institution.
1. Deposits. The City will only deposit funds with an institution that has a rating of at least "A" as assigned by an established rating service based on quarterly financial information provided by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (i.e., The Financial Directory). Ratings will be monitored on a quarterly basis and any downgrade in rating below "A" will be reported to the Investment Review Committee together with a recommendation for possible action.
2. Brokers/Dealers. Investments must be purchased directly from the issuer, from an institution licensed by the state as a broker-dealer, from a member of a federally regulated securities exchange, or from a brokerage firm designated as a primary government dealer by the Federal Reserve Bank.
All financial institutions which desire to do business with the City must supply the Management Services Department with the following:
Completed broker/ dealer questionnaire including certification that the financial institution has reviewed the City’s Statement of Investment Policy and applicable California Government Code sections and that it will exercise due diligence in informing the City of all foreseeable risks associated with financial transactions conducted with the firm.
Certified financial statements.
Resumé of the primary representative who will be dealing with the City.
The Deputy City Treasurer shall review the information submitted and designate t he institution as either eligible or ineligible for City investment transactions. The City will only do business with those institutions designated as “eligible”; however, an “eligible” designation does not guarantee that the City will do business with that institution.
A current audited financial report prepared by an independent certified public accountant shall be submitted to the City annually within six months after the end of the institution’s fiscal year in order for the institution to remain on the “eligible” list. Within the context of the City’s policies regarding portfolio limitations, i nvestment t ransactions shall be distributed as evenly as possible between financial institutions.
If the City has an investment advisor, the investment advisor may use its own list of 118

11. Certificates of Deposit
Government Code Section 53635: T here is no limit as to the amount of the investment portfolio that may be deposited in certificates of deposit.
California law requires that public funds be collateralized.

The collateralization requirement may be waived to the extent that funds are federally insured (currently up to $100,000 per institution). For deposits equivalent to the maximum insured amount, security may also be waived for interest accrued on the deposit provided the interest is computed by t he depository on the average daily balance of th e deposits, paid monthly and computed on a 360-day basis.

City of Fontana
Statement of Investment Policy
12 DUE DILIGENCE REQUIREMENT
As stated, the Chief Financial Officer/Deputy City Treasurer shall make a thorough investigation of an investment pool or mutual fund prior to investing funds and on a continual basis. At a minimum, the following information shall be on file for each pool and/or mutual fund:
1. A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.
2. A description of interest calculations, how interest is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.
3. A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited.
4. A description of who may invest in the program, how often, and the size of deposits and withdrawals.
5. A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings.
6. Whether reserves, retained earnings, etc. are utilized by the pool/fund.
7. A fee schedule, and when and how fees are assessed.
8. Whether the pool/fund is eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept s uch proceeds.
PROHIBITED INVESTMENTS
In compliance with Government Code Section 53631.5, the City of Fontana shall not invest in inverse floaters, range notes, or interest-only strips that are derived from a pool of mortgages. Additionally, the City shall not invest in any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity.
The City does not participate in any form of portfolio leverage, including but not limited to securities lending programs, reverse repurchase agreements and margin accounts.
DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS
Derivatives are investments whose value is “derived” from or based upon the value of other assets or on the level of an interest rate index. The City of Fontana does not invest in derivative products.
125
City of Fontana
Statement of Investment Policy
13 LEGISLATIVE CHANGES
Any State of California legislative action that further restricts allowable maturities, investment types or percentage allocations will be incorporated into the City of Fontana Statement of Investment Policy and supersede any and all previous applicable language.
If the City is holding an investment that is subsequently prohibited by a legislative change, the City may hold that investment, if it is deemed prudent by the Investment Review Committee, until the maturity date to avoid an unnecessary loss.
126
City of Fontana
Statement of Investment Policy
14 V. INVESTMENT MATURITIES
In order to minimize the impact of market risk, it is intended that all investments will be held to maturity. In order to implement this policy, the following guidelines will be used:
1. Liquidity. Approximately ten percent (10%) of the portfolio shall be held in short- term investments (less than twelve months) as insufficient liquidity could cause the premature sale of a security at a price below the original investment cost.
2. Weighted Average Life. The weighted average life (WAL)of the portfolio should not exceed two and one-half years.
3. Duration. The target duration of the portfolio shall be two years.
4. Diversification of Maturities. Projected cash flow requirements are the primary factor to be used in determining investment maturity terms. After cash flow needs have been met, yield considerations will be the next factor used in determining maturity terms, with the expectation that longer maturity periods will generally yield greater returns. However, the City will diversify its investments by maturity in order to avoid over concentration (in excess of 25%) in a specific maturity sector.
5. Sale of Securities. Investments may be sold prior to maturity for cash flow or appreciation purposes. However, no investment shall be made based solely on earnings anticipated from capital gains.
6. Maximum Maturity. As previously stated, the maximum maturity term of any investment shall not exceed five (5) years (measured by settlement date) unless prior express authority from Council has been granted.
127
City of Fontana
Statement of Investment Policy
15 VI. CASH MANAGEMENT
In order to obtain a reasonable return on public funds, the following cash management practices will be followed:
1. Maintain maximum investment of all City funds not required to meet immediate cash flow needs.
2. Pool cash from all City administered funds for investment purposes with interest earnings allocated monthly based on the average cash balance of each fund at month end as a percentage of the entire pooled portfolio.
3. Maximize the City's cash flow through immediate deposit of all cash receipts, use of direct deposit when available, and appropriate timing of payment to vendors.
4. Maximize cash flow information available through the use of only one operating bank account.

Homekey2 Project and Application Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve an affordable housing project containing 10 to 14 units of interim housing for chronically homeless, homeless households, or households at risk of homelessness and up to seven units of market rate housing to be sited at most two Fontana Housing Authority and City of Fontana owned properties located at 8996 Olive Street and 8344 Bennett Avenue.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2022-______, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Fontana authorizing application to and participation in the California Department of Housing and Community Development Homekey program.
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute and transmit any documents necessary or appropriate to ensure the City's timely submission of the Homekey application, inclusive of an Funding Commitment letter demonstrating the City’sintent to commit Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds not to exceed $1,312,326 to support project operating expenses for up to 4-years, and the City’sintent to commit up to $992,936 in development costs for non-assisted units from either PLHA or Housing Trust funds.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To concentrate on inter-governmental relations by pursuing financial participation from county, state and federal governments.
· To promote affordable housing by acquisition, substantial rehabilitation, and professional management of selected multi-family properties as a vehicle to reduce crime and code enforcement activity and to address the affordability needs of this community DISCUSSION:
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has made available approximately $1.45 billion in Homekey funding to sustain and rapidly expand the inventory of housing for people experiencing homelessness or At Risk of Homelessness (collectively the “Target Population”)and who are, thereby, inherently impacted by or at increased risk for medical diseases or conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic or other communicable diseases. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, homelessness data showed Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) were overrepresented in the homelessness system. The pandemic made racial disparities more apparent, and communities are dealing with the additional disproportionate impact of illness and death among City of Fontana Printed on 1/20/2022Page 1 of 4

people experiencing homelessness.
Homekey, Round 2 (Homekey2) is defined in an extensive Notice of Funding Availability made public by HCD on September 9, 2021. The program is designed to support development of a broad range of housing types as Permanent or Interim Housing for the Target Population including specified sub- populations. Eligible uses include acquisition and/ or rehabilitation. Eligible projects include multifamily rental housing and, shared housing or scattered site housing under common ownership.
Interim Housing Projects must be encumbered with a 15-year covenant, or similar recorded use restriction. Mixed projects with assisted and unassisted units are permitted, however only costs for assisted units will be eligible for Homekey funds.
Homekey2 awards will be made based on scored applications. In addition to capital expenditures the program will provide an operating subsidy based on an annualized calculation per assisted door.
Early submission before February 1, 2022, is strategically beneficial, because the applicant pool is limited to defined geographies and bonus funds are awarded. Bonus points and funds are also awarded for quickly reaching full occupancy.
Overview: The City proposes a Homekey2 project which would add 10 to 14 units of interim housing and preserve up to seven units of market rate housing to the community, in a project totaling 17 units.
The final determination of the assisted units to be provided will be based on responses from HCD regarding inquiries made relevant to the structure of the project. This report presents maximum project costs based on a 17-unit project, 14 of which are assisted.
Assisted units, providing wrap around supportive services, would be for those inherently impacted by COVID-19 by nature of being homeless or chronically homeless, or at risk of homelessness, who are residents of San Bernardino County and preferably the City of Fontana. The units, spread over up to two City and Housing Authority owned properties, would be operated as a cohesive project by Quality Management Group (QMG) as the property manager, and Water of Life (WOL) as the lead service provider.

Average annual operating deficit over 15 years (398,187) The Homekey program stipulates the City will be required to enter into a 15-year covenant agreement for provision of the project’s interim housing under the terms of HCD’s Standard Agreement. Every effort has been made to project anticipated costs over the duration of the covenant in accordance with HCD stipulated provisions and requirements. However, as with all long- term projections, forecasting with any degree of certainty is difficult at best.
The project was initially structured with all 21 units dedicated to the Target Population; however, when the proforma disclosed the City would be required to provide $55,725,804 in operating subsidy over its 55-year term, an alternative project structure was developed. This led to the recommended Interim and market rate housing option, providing 14 units of Target Population housing, and three units of market rate housing; resulting in a sizable yet manageable 15-year operating subsidy expenditure to the City of $5,972,798, while maintaining eligibility for Homekey funding.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If awarded by the State, and approved by the City Council, the applicable revenue and expenditure budgets will be adjusted at one of the quarterly budget meetings. The City of Fontana will authorize the use of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA Fund #295) funds to fund any deficit.

FROM:
City Manager's Office
SUBJECT:
A Resolution supporting the Our Neighborhood Voices (Brand-Huang-Mendoza Tripartisan Land Use) Initiative
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-_______, to support the Our Neighborhood Voices Initiative.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To create a team by working together to provide stability and consistent policy direction. · To create a team by communicating Goals and Objectives to all sectors of the community. · To create a team by supporting the decisions of the majority once made.
DISCUSSION:
The Our Neighborhood Voices Initiative would put a Constitutional Amendment on the Statewide November 2022 ballot to make zoning and land-use locally controlled. It would allow local land use and zoning laws an ability to override conflicting State laws. Initiative proponents argue that recent state laws do not adequately address housing costs and will create gentrification, displacement, traffic gridlock, environmental damage, higher taxes and sprawl.
Specifically, the proposed Initiative:
· Amends Article XI of the California Constitution.
· Prevents the State Legislature and local legislative bodies from passing laws invalidating voter approved local land-use or zoning initiatives.
· Prohibits State from changing, granting, or denying funding to local governments based on their implementation of this measure.
· Does not affect Fair Housing Laws or CEQA requirements. · Supersedes any previously enacted State laws (SB 9 & SB 10). · Transfers power for zoning and land use from Sacramento back to local agencies. · Exceptions for Coastal Act and large infrastructure projects.
By adopting the proposed Initiative, the City of Fontana will allow the Our Neighborhood Voices to use the City on their list of endorsements. Over 10 cities have passed resolutions supporting the initiative. Supporting this effort reinforces the City's stance on local control and is consistent with the City Council’s adopted legislative platform.

RESOLUTION NO. ________
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FONTANA, CALIFORNIA, EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR THE “BRAND -HUANGMENDOZA TRIPARTISAN LAND USE INITIATIVE” TO AMEND ARTICLE XI OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO MAKE ZONING AND LAND USE COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, AND NOT OF STATE INTEREST.
WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of California in recent years has proposed, passed, and signed into law a number of bills addressing a range of land use planning and housing issues; and
WHEREAS, the majority of these bills usurp the authority of local jurisdictions to determine for themselves the land use policies and practices that best suit each city and its residents and instead impose “one-size-fits-all” mandates that do not take into account the unique needs and differences of local jurisdictions throughout the State of California; and
WHEREAS, the majority of these bills do not provide any incentives or requirements for low-income affordable or moderate-income workforce housing, but instead impose new policies that will incentivize speculation and result in the addition of market-rate or luxury housing, thereby eliminating the opportunity for local jurisdictions to implement effective policies that will create more affordable housing and affirmatively further fair housing practices; and
WHEREAS, the ability of local jurisdictions to determine for themselves which projects require review beyond ministerial approval; what parking requirements are appropriate for various neighborhoods; what housing plans and programs are suitable and practical for each community; and what zoning should be allowed for residential properties, rather than having these decisions imposed upon cities without regard for the unique circumstances and needs of each individual community, is a matter of critical importance to the City of Fontana and many other municipalities focused on local zoning and housing issues; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Fontana hereby determines that local government entities are best able to assess and respond to the unique needs of their respective communities and hereby objects to the proliferation of State legislation (including SB 9 and SB 10) that would deprive us of that ability.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE City of Fontana, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Fontana is opposed to the legislature of the State of California continually proposing and adopting legislation that overrides the zoning and land use authority of local government and inhibits the ability of local 193
government to effectively plan for and implement policies to stimulate the efficient production of affordable housing in the City of Fontana.
SECTION 2. That the City Council of the City of Fontana supports the BrandHuang- Mendoza Tripartisan Land Use Initiative (Attached to the Resolution as Exhibit A) to ensure that zoning and land use authority rests with the local government entities that represent the communities in which the residents reside, and to allow local government to participate in solving our affordable housing crisis through solutions that effectively address the unique needs and conditions of each local community.
SECTION 3. That the City Council of the City of Fontana incorporates each recital set forth herein above.
The City Clerk of the City of Fontana shall certify as to the adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 25th day of January 2022.

Initiative 21-0016
The Attorney General of California has prepared the following title and summary of the chief
purpose and points of the proposed measure:
PROVIDES THAT LOCAL LAND-USE AND ZONING LAWS OVERRIDE
CONFLICTING STATE LAWS. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
Provides that city and county land-use and zoning laws (including local housing laws) override
all conflicting state laws, except in certain circumstances related to three areas of statewide
concern: (1) the California Coastal Act of 1976; (2) siting of power plants; or (3) development of
water, communication, or transportation infrastructure projects. Prevents state legislature and
local legislative bodies from passing laws invalidating voter-approved local land-use or zoning
initiatives. Prohibits state from changing, granting, or denying funding to local governments
based on their implementation of this measure. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and
Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: Fiscal effects of the
measure depend on future decisions by the cities and counties and therefore are unknown.
195
SECTION 1. The people of the State of California find and declare all of the following:
(a) The circumstances and environmental impacts of local land use decisions vary greatly
across the state from locality to locality.
(b) The infrastructure required to maintain appropriate levels of public services, including
police and fire services, parklands and public open spaces, transportation, water supply, schools, and sewers varies greatly across the state from locality to locality.
(c) Land use decisions made by local officials must balance development with public facilities and services while addressing the economic, environmental, and social needs of the
particular communities served by those local officials.
(d) Thus, it is in the best interests of the state and local communities for these complex decisions to be made at the local level to ensure that the specific, unique characteristics,
constraints, and needs of those communities are properly analyzed and addressed.
(e) Gentrification of housing adjacent to public transportation will reduce or eliminate the availability of low or very low income housing near public transit, resulting in the loss of access by low or very low income persons to public transit, declines in public transit ridership, and increases in vehicle miles travelled.
(f) The State Legislature cannot properly assess the impacts upon each community of sweeping
centralized and rigid state land use rules and zoning regulations that apply across the state
without regard to community impacts and, as a result, statewide land use and zoning will do
great harm to local communities with differing circumstances and concerns.
(g) Community development should not be controlled by state planners, but by local governments that know and can address the needs of, and the impacts upon, local communities.
Local initiatives approved by voters pertaining to land use and zoning restrictions should not be
nullified or superseded by the actions of any local or state legislative body.
(h) Numerous state laws that target communities for elimination of zoning standards have been
enacted, and continue to be proposed, that eliminate or erode local control over local 196
development and circumvent the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), creating the
potential for harmful environmental impacts to occur.
(i) The purpose of this measure is to ensure that all decisions regarding local land use controls,
including zoning law and regulations, are made by the affected communities in accordance with
applicable law, including but not limited to CEQA (Public Resources Code § 21000 et seq.), the
California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Government Code §§ 12900 – 12996), prohibitions against discrimination (Government Code § 65008), and affirmatively furthering
fair housing (Government Code § 8899.50). This constitutional amendment would continue to
provide for state control in the coastal zone, the siting of a power plant that can generate more
than 50 megawatts of electricity, or the development or construction of water, communication or
transportation infrastructure projects which the Legislature declares are matters of statewide
concern and are in the best interests of the state. For purposes of this measure, it is the intent that
a transportation infrastructure project shall not include a transit-oriented development project
that is residential, commercial, or mixed-use.
SECTION 2. Section 4.5 is added to Article XI of the California Constitution, to read:
SEC. 4.5. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), in the event of a conflict with a state statute,
a county charter provision, general plan, specific plan, ordinance or a regulation adopted
pursuant to a county charter, that regulates the zoning, development or use of land within the
boundaries of an unincorporated area of the county shall be deemed a county affair within the
meaning of Section 4 and shall prevail over a conflicting state statute. No voter approved local
initiative that regulates the zoning, development or use of land within the boundaries of any
county shall be overturned or otherwise nullified by any legislative body.
(b) A county charter provision, general plan, specific plan, ordinance or a regulation adopted
and applicable to an unincorporated area within a county, may be determined only by a court of
197
competent jurisdiction, in accordance with Section 4, to address either a matter of statewide
concern or a county affair if that provision, ordinance, or regulation conflicts with a state statute with regard to only the following:
(1) The California Coastal Act of 1976 (Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000) of the Public Resources Code), or a successor statute. (2) The siting of a power generating facility capable of generating more than 50 megawatts of electricity and the California Public Utilities Commission has determined
that a need exists at that location that is a matter of statewide concern. (3) The development or construction of a water, communication or transportation infrastructure project for which the Legislature has declared in statute the reasons why
the project addresses a matter of statewide concern and is in the best interests of the
state. For purposes of this paragraph, a transportation infrastructure project does not
include a transit-oriented development project, whether residential, commercial, or
mixed-use.
(c) No modification to appropriations for state funded programs shall occur, and no state grant applications or funding shall be denied as a result of the application of this section.
No
benefit or preference in state appropriations or grants shall be given to an entity that opts not
to utilize the provisions of this section.
(d) The provisions of this section are severable. If any provision of this section or its application is held invalid, that invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that
can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
SECTION 3. Section 5.5 is added to Article XI of the California Constitution, to read:
SEC. 5.5. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), in the event of a conflict with a state statute, a city charter provision, general plan, specific plan, ordinance or a regulation adopted
pursuant to a city charter, that establishes land use policies or regulates zoning or development
standards within the boundaries of the city shall be deemed a municipal affair within the meaning of Section 5 and shall prevail over a conflicting state statute. No voter approved local
initiative that regulates the zoning, development or use of land within the boundaries of any
city shall be overturned or otherwise nullified by any legislative body. 198
(b) A city charter provision, general plan, specific plan, ordinance or a regulation adopted
pursuant to a city charter, may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction, in
accordance with Section 5, to address either a matter of statewide concern or a municipal affair
if that provision, ordinance, or regulation conflicts with a state statute with regard to only the
following:
(1) The California Coastal Act of 1976 (Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000) of the Public Resources Code), or a successor statute. (2) The siting of a power generating facility capable of generating more than 50 megawatts of electricity and the California Public Utilities Commission has determined
that a need exists at that location that is a matter of statewide concern. (3) The development or construction of a water, communication or transportation infrastructure project for which the Legislature has declared in statute the reasons why
the project addresses a matter of statewide concern and is in the best interests of the
state. For purposes of this paragraph, a transportation infrastructure project does not
include a transit-oriented development project, whether residential, commercial, or
mixed-use.
(c) No modification to appropriations for state funded programs shall occur, and no state grant applications or funding shall be denied as a result of the application of this section.
No
benefit or preference in state appropriations or grants shall be given to an entity that opts not
to utilize the provisions of this section.
(d) The provisions of this section are severable. If any provision of this section or its application is held invalid, that invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that
can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
SECTION 4. Section 7 of Article XI of the California Constitution is amended to read:
SEC. 7. (a) A county or city may make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary,
and other ordinances and regulations that are not, except as provided in subdivision (b), in
199
conflict with general laws. A county or city may not supersede or otherwise interfere with any
voter approved local initiative pertaining to land use or zoning restrictions.
(b) A county or city general plan, specific plan, ordinance or regulation that regulates the zoning,
development or use of land within the boundaries of the county or city shall prevail over conflicting general laws, except for only the following:
(A) A coastal land use plan, ordinance or regulation that conflicts with the California Coastal Act of 1976 (Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000) of the Public Resources Code), or a successor statute.
(B) An ordinance or regulation that addresses the siting of a power generating facility capable of generating more than 50 megawatts of electricity and the California Public Utilities Commission has determined that a need exists at that location that is a matter of statewide concern.
(C) An ordinance or regulation that addresses the development or construction of a water, communication or transportation infrastructure project for which the Legislature has declared in statute the reasons why the project addresses a matter
of statewide concern and is in the best interests of the state. For purposes of this subparagraph, a transportation infrastructure project does not include a transit- oriented development project, whether residential, commercial, or mixed-use.
(c) No modification to appropriations for state funded programs shall occur, and no state grant
applications or funding shall be denied as a result of the application of this section. No benefit or
preference in state appropriations or grants shall be given to an entity that opts not to utilize the
provisions of this section.
(d) The provisions of this subdivision are severable. If any provision of this subdivision or its
application is held invalid, that invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that can
be given effect without the invalid provision or application. 200

INTRODUCTION
The City of Fontana, the Lead Agency, is initiating a Municipal Code Amendment No. 21- 001, which would amend Chapter 9 of the Municipal Code to add Article V to establish conditions, regulations, and standards to require sustainability measures for warehouse (industrial commerce center) developments throughout the city. The proposed Municipal Code Amendment is exempt from environmental review pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(B)(3), 15307, and 15308, which are further described below.
PURPOSE OF NOTICE OF EXEMPTION
Article 19 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines includes, as required by Public Resources Code Section 21084, a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment. This document demonstrates that the proposed project qualifies for a t least three independent CEQA Exemptions. Each exemption on its own would exempt the whole of the project from environmental review.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The City initiated Municipal Code Amendment ( MCA) No. 21-001 to amend Chapter 9 (Environmental Protection and Resource Extraction) of the Municipal Code to add a new Article to establish sustainability measures requirements for all industrial commercial center developments throughout the city.
The proposed Ordinance for Municipal Code Amendment ( MCA) No. 21 -001 includes additional sustainability requirements and standards that are intended to impose air and other environmental quality improvement measures, and standardize the requirements concerning such improvement measures with regard to warehouse (industrial commercial center) developments.
All discretionary processes remain in place with regard to Administrative Site Plan and Design Review in Article II of Chapter 30 and in the applicable Specific Plans throughout the City that allows for the establishment of appropriate conditions of approval and mitigation measures.
The following is the summary of the new Article that includes sustainability measures requirements for industrial commerce center developments:

EXEMPTION EXPLANATION
The proposed City-initiated Municipal Code Amendment ( MCA) No. 21 -001 to amend Chapter 9 (Environmental Protection and Resource Extraction) of the Municipal Code to add a new Article to establish sustainability requirements for industrial commerce center developments throughout the City is a project as defined by Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines. As required by Section 15061(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, the City evaluated the proposal to determine if the project is exempt from CEQA. A project may be exempt if any one of the following criteria is met:
(1) The project is exempt by statute (see, e.g. Article 18, commencing with Section 15260).
There are no applicable statutory exemptions that would apply to the proposed project.
(2) The project is exempt pursuant to a categorical exemption (see Article 19, commencing with Section 15300) and the application of that categorical exemption is not barred by one of the exceptions set forth in Section 15300.2.
244
City of Fontana 6
Section 15307 (Class - 7 Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of Natural Resources) and 15308 (Class 8 - Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment) concerning actions taken to maintain, restore, or enhance a natural resource, and actions taken to e nsure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment , apply here as the proposed project would result in more restrictive development standards and operational requirements for industrial commerce center developments by requiring items such as : perimeter buffers comprised of walls and landscaping, additional vehicle cueing in dock area, signage, reduction of allowed idling times to three (3) minutes for trucks, truck routing plans, and additional alternative energy improvements. Alternative energy requirements include the following: ZE (zero emission) equipment, solar ready roofs, building over 400,000 square feet to install roof top solar, some passenger vehicle parking spaces shall incorporate electric charging stations, installation of conduit and electric plug -in units at dock doors to accommodate transport refrigeration units) to plug -in for refrigeration users, and bicycle racks to have electric plugs to charge bikes. For more detailed information, a comprehensive list is included in the previous section. Further no relaxation of current development requirements is proposed.
Although the installation of walls, landscaping, and solar panels, or other required sustainability features may involve minor additional activities, this work is ancillary in nature to , and will be installed with , the primary structure and other associated improvements. Also, the required sustainability measures; such as utilizing the highest rated CARB tiered technology equipment along will further reduce any potential installation impacts.
The implementation of alternative energy requirements for industrial commerce centers, as outlined in the Ordinance, will provide a renewable electric resource for development and reduce dependence on non -renewable electric resources. Further, t he new regulations as they relate to signage, parking, access, and onsite/offsite circulation would lessen potential emission and vehicle impacts relating to queuing and ensure that vehicles can reach arterial streets, truck routes, and freeways efficiently by traveling as few miles as possible while avoiding residential and educational uses.
The new queuing standards would help keep trucks from backing up onto public streets, and prohibit trucks from circling in public streets, which will reduce public safety issues and improve air quality.
Finally, requiring the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure will encourage and enable the use of electric vehicles, reducing Green House Gas emissions. Therefore, the sustainability requirements overall would impose grea ter limitations on industrial commercial centers development than exist today thus serving to maintain, restore, or enhance a natural resource, and to ensure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment.
(3) The activity is covered by the common-sense exemption in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential 245
City of Fontana 7
for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
The proposed project Municipal Code Amendment (MCA) No. 21-001 to amend Chapter 9 (Environmental Protection and Resource Extraction) of the Municipal Code to add a new Article to establish sustainability measures requirements for industrial commerce centers developments throughout the City would overall impose greater limitations on industrial commerce center development than exist today, and will function to impose air and other environmental quality improvement measures, and standardize the requirements concerning such improvement measures as discussed in the above Section 2 discussion. This proposed Ordinance does not change building heights, floor area ratio requirements, or lighting requirements. However, it will include additional screening requirements, enhance landscaping by requiring larger trees, impose alternative energy requirements to improve environmental quality and reducing potential impacts. Further, all projects involving the construction of an industrial commerce center will continue to be subject to an Administrative Site Plan/Design Review, where a project -specific analysis based on location and project details will be conducted, subject to CEQA review/documentation. Therefore, all industrial commerce center projects will be subject to CEQA, standard Conditions of Approval, and all other State/Federal/Local requirements.
(4) The project will be rejected or disapproved by a public agency.
City staff is recommending approval of the proposed project.
(5) The project is exempt pursuant to the provisions of Article 12.5 of this Chapter.
The proposed industrial commerce center sustainability standards do not include any agricultural housing, affordable house, and residential infill components.
EXCEPTIONS FOR EXEMPTIONS
In addition to investigating the applicability of CEQA Guidelines, this CEQA document also assesses whether any of the exceptions to qualifying for the categorical exemption are present. The following analysis compares the criteria of CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 (Exceptions) to the project.
Criterion 15300.2(a): Location: Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located – a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply all instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies.
246
City of Fontana 8
The City is not recommending finding the proposed Industrial Commerce Center Suitability Standards Ordinance project exempt under Classes 3, 4, 5, 6 or 11. Therefore, the exception under criterion 15300.2(a) is not applicable.
Criterion 15300.2(b): Cumulative Impact: All exemptions for these c lasses are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant.
As discussed previously, the project is for a Municipal Code Amendment (MCA) No. 21- 001 to amend Chapter 9 (Environmen tal Protection and Resource Extraction) of the Municipal Code to add a new Article to establish sustainability measures requirements for industrial commerce centers developments throughout the City is consistent with the General Plan and does not change any of the Land Use Designation of any properties.
Furthermore, the proposed project would result in more restrictive development standards and operational requirements for industrial commerce center developments by requi ring items such as: perimeter buffers comprised of walls and landscaping, additional vehicle cueing in dock area, signage, reduction of allowed idling times to three (3) minutes for trucks, truck routing plans, and additional alternative energy improvements. Each of these components, individually and cumulatively does not result in the possibility of creating significant to cumulative effects on the environment. As described in the above sections, construction of any industrial commerce center buildings wi ll be subject to discretionary planning entitlements with separate CEQA review and documentation. Therefore, the exception under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 (b) does not apply to the project.
Criterion 15300.2(c): Significant Effects: A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances.
There are no known unusual circumstances that are applicable to the projec t that may result in a significant effect on the environment. The proposed project consists of Municipal Code Amendment ( MCA) No. 21 -001 to amend Chapter 9 (Environmental Protection and Resource Extraction) of the Municipal Code to add a new Article to establish sustainability measures requirements for industrial commerce centers developments throughout the City .

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
III. ANALYSIS:
The applicant, Sage Investco, has submitted applications for the proposed development of a new commercial shopping center with an anchor grocery store on an approximately 6.2 adjusted gross acre site. The site has a General Commercial land use designation on both the General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning District Map and is located within Planning Area 1 of the Auto Center Overlay district. The site is located on the northeast corner of Citrus Avenue and South Highland Avenue. The project, as proposed, will require the following approvals: Zoning Code Amendment to amend the Planning Area for the site from Planning Area 1 to Planning Area 3 of the Auto Center Overlay, a Tentative Parcel Map to consolidate eight (8) lots into one (1), a Development Agreement between the City of Fontana and the applicant, one (1) Conditional Use Permit for a Type 21 ABC License for the 40,100 square foot anchor tenant, two (2) Conditional Use Permits for the proposed drive-thru establishments, a Design Review for site and architectural review of the total site, and a Design Review Sign application for a sign program encompassing the project site.
Zoning Code Amendment No. 21-001:
The project site is zoned General Commercial (C-2) within Planning Area 1 of the Auto Center Overlay District.
Standards for the Auto Center Overlay are listed in Section 30-636 (Purpose and Intent) of Division 5 (Auto Center Overlay District) of the Fontana Zoning and Development Code. The Auto Center Overlay District is intended to reserve City of Fontana Printed on 1/19/2022Page 3 of 6

Agenda #: B. Category: Public Hearing
certain specified properties for certain types of uses within each of the four planning areas.
The applicant is proposing to amend the Auto Center Overlay from the existing Planning Area 1 (reserved primarily for automobile retail sales, service, and related uses) to Planning Area 3 which permits for additional commercial uses such as drive thru restaurants and other supporting uses. All automobile related uses, including car sales dealerships, will continue to be permitted in Planning Area 3. The applicant is also requesting to amend Section 6403(a) to allow for a grocery store use.
City Council approval of a Zoning and Development Code Amendment (Amendment) is required for this proposal.
Specifically, this will require an amendment to, Figure 1 (Auto Center Overlay District Planning Area Boundaries Map) Section 30-639 of the Fontana Zoning and Development Code. If approved, Figure 1 will be amended to extend the boundary of Planning Area 3 to encompass the project site as shown in Attachment No. 6 and Section 6403(a) will be amended to allow for a grocery store use. Drive thru fast food restaurants are permitted with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application in Planning Area 3 of the Auto Overlay District. Additional proposed commercial retail uses are also permitted in PA3 either by right or with approval of a CUP application.
The General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (C-G) for the site allows for the development of retail, malls, wholesale, auto dealerships and offices that can serve the regional population. Therefore, Planning Area 3 will be consistent with the site.
Development Agreement No. 21-003:
A development agreement has been submitted for consideration by the City Council. As part of the overall project, staff and the Developer have worked together on an agreement with deal points that will provide for a public benefit for the City and residents.
Tentative Parcel Map No. 20370:
Tentative Parcel Map No. 20370 is a request to consolidate eight (8) parcels into one (1) parcel totaling approximately
6.20 adjusted gross acres for the purpose of developing a commercial shopping center. The lot, as proposed, will comply with all standards of the City’s Municipal Code including Chapter 26 (Subdivisions) and Chapter 30 (Zoning and Development Code). Three (3) proposed points of access are proposed along South Highland Avenue.
Conditional Use Permit No. 21-004:
The applicant has submitted an application for a Type 21 (Off-Sale General) ABC license for the proposed 40,100 square foot anchor grocery store. The ABC License authorizes the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for consumption of alcohol off the licensed premises where sold.
The subject site is located within Census Tract No. 23.01 and is bounded by Sierra Avenue to the east, Miller Avenue to the south, Citrus to the west and the 210 Freeway to the north. This area encompasses approximately 2.5 square miles of area. If approved, the proposed market within the Citrus Crossroads center will be the only off sales full service grocery store within the immediate vicinity of the project site. Therefore, staff supports the approval of the Conditional Use Permit to sell alcohol for offsite consumption. The appropriate findings were made.
Conditional Use Permit No. 21-005 and -006:
Drive-thru establishments are a conditionally permitted use within Planning Area 3 of the Auto Center Overlay. As City of Fontana Printed on 1/19/2022Page 4 of 6

File #: 21-1113 Agenda Date: 1/25/2022
Agenda #: B. Category: Public Hearing
Drive-thru establishments are a conditionally permitted use within Planning Area 3 of the Auto Center Overlay. As proposed, the development will have two (2) drive-thru restaurants, anticipated as one (1) for a fast-food restaurant and a second for a proposed coffee shop with drive-thru services. The drive-thru services have been reviewed and meet the development standards as required in the Zoning and Development Code for parking, drive-thru stacking, driveway width, and all other standards as required by the Zoning and Development Code. Given the proximity to the freeway and well- designed site layout, the drive-thrus, if approved, will function correctly and will be successful uses.
Design Review No. 21-010:
As previously mentioned, the applicant is proposing a commercial shopping center called the “Citrus Crossroads” shopping center. If approved, the shopping center would have a total building square footage of approximately 53,354 square feet. The applicant has worked diligently with staff to incorporate site details that will beautify and enhance the overall aesthetics of the site. Some of the features include a modern architectural theme for the center, patios and drive entries, porte cocheres for the drive thru restaurants, a unique and well-designed water feature that will enhance the corner statement of Citrus Avenue and South Highland Avenue, additional landscaping, building lighting and signage that would provide a sense of place and act as a landmark for the prominent corner. The signage, as presented, is conceptual in nature and will require a Design Review Sign application for each building or suite.
The modern architecture theme selected for the shopping center is appropriate for the area and is consistent with surrounding uses, the design guidelines in the Development Code and more specifically the Auto Center Overlay. In addition, the proposed project is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and applicable provisions of the zoning district, including Goal 5.3, Policy 5: (Community Design Element) stating that buildings “shall incorporate distinct and varied architectural details through varied rooflines, and detailed façade treatments”. Design characteristics include decorative cornices, wall sconces, veneer, stucco wall surface and decorative awnings.
Design Review Sign No. 21-018:
The applicant has proposed an amendment to the sign provision listed in the Overlay District under Section 644(3)a to permit the additional sign types listed under separate cover to identify and the project and businesses with the center. The proposed signs are designed to be compatible with a shopping center. The applicant has proposed one (1) freeway pylon sign, two (2) multi-tenant monument signs, one enhanced (1) corner statement which includes water features, and on-site directional signage. The signs are of a modern architectural theme that will enhance the overall contemporary look of the shopping center.

A development agreement has been submitted for consideration by the City. As part of the overall project, staff and the Developer have worked together on an agreement with deal points that will provide for a public benefit for the City and residents.
Tentative Parcel Map No. 20370:
Tentative Parcel Map No. 20370 is a request to consolidate eight (8) parcels into one (1) parcel totaling approximately 6.20 adjusted gross acres for the purpose of developing a commercial shopping center. The lot, as proposed, will comply with all standards of the City’s Municipal Code including Chapter 26 (Subdivisions) and Chapter 30 (Zoning and Development Code). Three (3) proposed points of access are proposed along South Highland Avenue.
Conditional Use Permit No. 21-004:
The applicant has submitted an application for a Type 21 (Off-Sale General) ABC license for the proposed 40,100 square foot anchor grocery store. The ABC License authorizes the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for consumption of alcohol off the licensed premises where sold.
Census Tract No: The subject site is located within Census Tract No. 23.01 and is bounded by Sierra Avenue to the east, Miller Avenue to the south, Citrus Avenue to the west and the 210 Freeway to the north. This area encompasses approximately 2.5 square miles of area. If approved, the proposed market within the Citrus Crossroads center will be the only off sales full service grocery store within the immediate vicinity of the project site. Therefore, staff supports the approval of the Conditional Use Permit to sell alcohol for offsite consumption. The appropriate findings were made (Attachment No. 7).
Conditional Use Permit No. 21-005 and -006:
Drive-thru establishments are a conditionally permitted use within Planning Area 3 of the Auto Center Overlay. As proposed, the development will have two (2) drive-thru restaurants: one (1) for a fast- food restaurant and a second for a proposed coffee shop with drive-thru services. The drive-thru services have been reviewed and meet the development standards as required in the Zoning and Development Code for parking, drive-thru stacking, driveway width, and all other standards as required by the Zoning and Development Code. Given the proximity to the freeway and well designed site layout, the drive-thrus, if approved, will function correctly.

Design Review No. 21-010:
As previously mentioned the applicant is proposing a commercial shopping center called the “Citrus Crossroads” shopping center. If approved, the shopping center would have a total building square footage of approximately 53,354 square feet. The applicant has worked diligently with staff to incorporate site details that will beautify and enhance the overall aesthetics of the site. Some of the features include a modern architectural theme for the center, patios and drive entries, porte cochere’s for the drive thru restaurants, a unique and well-designed water feature that will enhance the corner statement of Citrus Avenue and South Highland Avenue, additional landscaping, building lighting and signage that would give the sense of place and act as a landmark for the prominent corner. The signage, as presented, is conceptual in nature and will require a Design Review Sign application for each building or suite.
The modern architecture theme selected for the shopping center is appropriate for the area and is consistent with surrounding uses, the design guidelines in the Development Code and more specifically the Auto Center Overlay. In addition, the proposed project is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and applicable provisions of the zoning district, including Goal 5.3, Policy 5: (Community Design Element) stating that buildings “shall incorporate distinct and varied architectural details through varied rooflines, and detailed façade treatments”. Design characteristics include decorative cornices, wall sconces, veneer, stucco wall surface and decorative awnings.
Design Review Sign No. 21-018:
The applicant has proposed an amendment to the sign provision listed in the Overlay District under Section 644(3)a to permit the additional sign types listed under separate cover to identify and the project and businesses with the center. The proposed signs sere designed to be compatible with a shopping center. The applicant has proposed one (1) freeway pylon sign, two (2) multi-tenant monument signs, one enhanced (1) corner statement which includes water features, and on-site directional signage. The signs are of a modern architectural theme that will enhance the overall contemporary look of the shopping center.
