Revision to Chapter 30 Section 30-492 Smoke and Vape Shops: This update would reduce the minimum distance requirement of a proposed smoke and vape shop to a school, park, religious institution, hospital, youth facility, or other sensitive land use from 1,500 to 600 feet, thus making the seperation requirements consistent with those of alcoholic beverage sales.
Addition of Section 30-731.1 Sign Programs: The update includes provisions for sign programs for larger sites (six acres or more) for commercial and mixed use designated properties with frontage on Baseline Avenue, Foothill Boulevard, Sierra Avenue, or Valley Boulevard.
The proposed amendments are proposed in order to provide flexibility and streamlining of the City’s Municipal Code.

On November 8, 2016, California voters passed Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA”), legalizing the use and possession of cannabis and cannabis products by adults aged 21 years and older. On June 27, 2017, Senate Bill 94 was signed into law, which created a single regulatory scheme for both medicinal and non-medicinal cannabis known as the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”). MAUCRSA gives local jurisdictions, including the City of Fontana (“City”), the authority to adopt and enforce local ordinances regulating cannabis businesses. On January 1, 2018, State licensing authorities began issuing licenses to businesses that operate in local jurisdictions that allow commercial cannabis activity.
The City currently prohibits the establishment and operation of commercial cannabis activity of any kind, and requires a City-issued permit for residential indoor cannabis cultivation. In 2021, City Council directed staff to review economic development and regulatory options for possible cannabis businesses in the City in light of neighboring cities success in regulating commercial cannabis businesses. As such, the City is now considering allowing cannabis retail establishments that would be permitted to operate a limited number of storefront retailers and for the sale of cannabis by delivery to customers by those same storefront retailers. Currently, there are 1,058 cannabis retailers statewide, of which 734 are storefront retailers and the remaining 324 are non-storefront delivery services, which only sell cannabis to customers.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ANALYSIS:
The attached Ordinance is generally based on the City of Pomona’s model and is designed to create a merit-based, professional review process for the issuance of a Commercial Cannabis Permit (“Permit”) that is transparent and comprehensive. Permits would only allow for the retail sale and delivery of commercial cannabis, including both medicinal and recreational adult-use cannabis. As currently proposed, only three (3) Permits would be available in the City. If the proposed Ordinance is adopted, and the three Permits are issued, the issuance of any additional Permits would require an amendment to the Fontana Municipal Code.
Each of the three (3) Permits issued would be issued for one of three designated areas within the City (i.e., North, Central, and South), as shown in the attached map (Exhibit “C”). Within each of those designated areas, Permits may be issued in the following zone districts: C-1 (Community Commercial), C-2 (General Commercial), and Specific Plan areas designated in the proposed Ordinance. In addition to all other applicable zoning regulations, no Permit would be issued for a business located within a 600-foot radius of a school providing instruction in kindergarten or any grades one through twelve, a day care center, park, a youth and recreation center, or city boundaries.
As proposed, neither the Planning Commission, nor the City Council would play a role in the evaluation and scoring of applications for Permits, nor would either play a role in the selection or Permit issuance. The parameters and criteria for the issuance of a Permit is set out in specific detail in the Ordinance and includes a rigorous five-phase application process, the implementation of which is wholly administrative. Taken together, the five-phases of the Permit application process include (1) an initial screening process with a background checks for all proposed owners and operators, (2) scoring of an application on specified criteria, (3) an interview, (4) identification of a proposed business location and a detailed site plan, and (5) final scoring and ranking of applicants, and Permit issuance, if available.
All Permit applicants would be required to comply with Process Integrity Standards, which would be City of Fontana Page 2 of 3 Printed on 6/15/2022

Agenda #: Category: Public Hearing
All Permit applicants would be required to comply with Process Integrity Standards, which would be established by a separate City Council Resolution. Failure to abide by the Process Integrity Standards may result in disqualification from the review process or revocation of an issued Permit.
Prior to being issued a Permit to commence operations, the proposed Permittee must enter into a fully executed Operating Agreement with the City which will include fiscal mitigation measures including a community benefit charge in an amount determined by a City Council approved Operating Agreement, and obtain a City Business License.
Once issued, the Permits would be nonassignable and nontransferable, and changes in either the location or ownership of the Commercial Cannabis Business would require approval by the City.
Each Permit will expire three (3) years after initial issuance, and will then be renewed annually thereafter. Once a Permit is issued the City retains broad discretion to revoke, suspend or terminate Permits for failure to comply with the requirement imposed by the newly added Chapter 33 “Cannabis Businesses and Activities” or compliance with state law, including state licensing requirements. City Council would only hear appeals from decisions affecting a Permittee, such as nonrenewal, suspension, or revocation.
In order to enact Chapter 33 “Cannabis Businesses and Activities”, revisions to Chapter 30 are required, including amending Section 30-489 “Uses Permitted” to allow for Commercial Cannabis Businesses within Commercial Zoning Districts, as provided in Exhibit “A” of the proposed Ordinance.

BUSINESSES CHAPTER OF THE FONTANA CITY CODE
WHEREAS, on September 13, 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1747 prohibiting all marijuana uses in the City to the extent allowed under California law, and included a provision requiring a Residential Indoor Marijuana Cultivation (“RMIC”) permit for any individual who desires to grow up to six (6) marijuana plants in their private residence; WHEREAS, on November 8, 2016, California voters approved Proposition 64, titled the “Adult Use of Marijuana Act” (the “AUMA”) and enacted a state statutory scheme legalizing, controlling, and regulating the cultivation, processing, manufacturing, distribution, testing, and sale of nonmedical (“adult-use“ or “recreational”) cannabis, including cannabis products, for use by adults twenty-one (21) years of age and older;
WHEREAS, on June 27, 2017, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 94, the “Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act” (“SB 94” or the “MAUCRSA”). SB 94 creates one state regulatory structure for medical and adult-use cannabis use and commercial cannabis activities, reconciling AUMA, with Proposition 215 and MCRSA. SB 94 continues to provide that a state license will not be approved for a business to engage in Commercial Cannabis Activity if the business activity violates any local ordinance or regulation; WHEREAS, the three State licensing authorities charged with licensing and regulating commercial cannabis activities in California, the Bureau of Cannabis Control (“BCC”), the California Department of Food and Agriculture (“CDFA”), and the California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”), commenced releasing emergency regulations, outlining the standards and licensing procedures for both medicinal and adult-use commercial cannabis, and began issuing licenses for such activities on January 1, 2018;
WHEREAS, on January 24, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1758 amending the Zoning and Development Code by adding a new Section 30-7(c) entitled “Residential Indoor Marijuana Cultivation” to regulate indoor cultivation of marijuana and adoption of Resolution No. 2017-05 establishing fees for a RIMC permit; ATTACHMENT NO.

WHEREAS, a Petition for Writ of Mandate was filed against the City to prohibit the enforcement of Ordinance No. 1758 (“Petition”), and on November 2, 2018, a court issued a ruling granting the Petition;
WHEREAS, on March 12, 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1794 amending Section 30-7(B)(c) and 30-7(B)(f) to address the court’s ruling, and bring the City Municipal Code into conformance with the court’s ruling and amending the RIMC fee amount; WHEREAS, having banned commercial cannabis citywide so as to monitor continuous developments with state law and how neighboring cities would regulate cannabis, the City Council has developed an approach to regulating cannabis businesses within the City which will increase the likelihood of high quality and successful businesses and minimize potential adverse secondary impacts;
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and declares that this Ordinance constitutes a valid exercise of police power in accordance with Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, is consistent with the language and intent of the AUMA, MAUCRSA, and related laws regulations, and policies issued by the state, consistent with the General Plan, and furthers the health, safety, and general welfare of the residents of the City of Fontana; WHEREAS, on _____________, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. XXXX adding Chapter 33 to the Fontana Municipal Code (“FMC”) to regulate commercial cannabis businesses within the City; and
WHEREAS, the new commercial cannabis provisions require the City Council to establish Process Integrity Standards applicable to commercial cannabis permit applicants and persons working on behalf of such applicants;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Fontana as follows:
SECTION 1. The Fontana City Council hereby adopts the Process Integrity Standards set forth in Exhibit A to this Resolution and incorporated herein.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall attest and certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution and it shall become effective immediately upon its approval.

Planned Unit Development (PUD). The Zoning and Development Code establishes regulations and procedures for approval of planned unit development (PUD) projects. The stated purposes of a PUD include: to encourage more desirable living environments within the density standards of the general plan and zoning code, to encourage greater open space and amenities for visual enjoyment and recreational use, to encourage a more efficient, aesthetic and desirable use of land, and to encourage variety in the physical development patterns of the City. The applicant has provided a unique and vibrant development with the incorporation of several passive and active recreational amenities throughout the community as described later in this report, as well as high quality architectural design. Thus, the proposed project meets the purpose and intent of the Planned Unit Development provisions of the Zoning and Development code.
Design Review No. 21-049:
The proposed project includes 143 residential units, including 96 attached motorcourt units and 47 detached cluster units.
The attached motorcourt units will be in eight (8) buildings of 12 units each. Each building will be in a “U” shape with a common driveway that will be used to access the garages for the units in the building. The “front” entrance for each unit will be on the opposite side of the buildings. Floor plans consisting of one (1), two (2) and three (3) bedrooms are proposed and range in size from 891 square feet to 1,924 square feet.
The architectural styles proposed for the motorcourt buildings are Urban Farmhouse and Prairie Modern. The Urban Farmhouse style is a modern version of the traditional Farmhouse style and features board and batten siding, brick accent cladding, a deep and muted color palette, and pitched rooflines The Prairie Modern style is a modern version of the simplistic Prairie architectural style. The proposed building features horizontal siding, stone accent cladding, a color palette consisting of deep tones and light accents, hipped rooflines, and windows with decorative muntins.
The proposed detached cluster units are arranged along private drives and/or in clusters of four (4) to six (6) homes. All floor plans will consist of three (3) bedrooms and will range in size from 1,587 square feet to 1,801 square feet. The units will have three (3) architectural styles - Progressive Traditional, Progressive Prairie and Modern Farmhouse. The Progressive Traditional elevations will consist of stone accent cladding, pitched rooflines, shutters, pot shelves and a neutral color palette.
The Progressive Prairie elevations utilize horizontal siding, stone accent cladding, decorative window trim and a neutral and/or monochromatic color palette. The Modern Farmhouse elevations consist of board and batten siding, brick accents, shutters, decorative rafter tails, and decorative window grids.
The proposed development includes several amenities throughout the community. A community pool will be centrally located and will also include a pool building with restroom, sun deck with lounge furniture and a gazebo with barbeque island and picnic tables. The community will also include a tot lot, paseos, a cornhole area and several passive recreational areas to gather.
