SUBJECT:
Resolution of Intent to Form Community Facilities District No. 110M (Tract 16897) RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2022-089, of Intent of the City Council of the City of Fontana with Respect to Establishment of Proposed Community Facilities District No. 110M of the City of Fontana, County of San Bernardino, State of California.
2. Set the Public Hearing for September 13, 2022, for the Formation of the District and call for the Special Election for September 13, 2022.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To practice sound fiscal management by fully funding liabilities and reserves. · To practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.
DISCUSSION:
The development of Tract 16897 is actively proceeding. As part of the conditions of approval, the developer is to establish the financing method to pay for ongoing operation and maintenance of the street lights, landscaping, detention basins/water quality systems, open space facilities, graffiti removal, and park maintenance.
The proposed community facilities district (the “District”) boundaries include approximately 5.01 acres (18 units) of residential property and is located at the intersection of Citrus Avenue and Baseline Road. The property is owned by D.R. Horton Los Angeles Holding Company, Inc.
Due to the passage of Proposition 218 in November of 1996, alternate financing plans other than a traditional Lighting and Landscape District are being developed to ensure continuous financing of these maintenance obligations. The City Attorney’s office, staff and the developer believe that the establishment of a maintenance community facilities district which provides services and maintenance is the best protection to the City to have these obligations funded by the future residents who will receive the benefits.
The establishment of the District would provide the initial funding for the operation and maintenance costs for the neighborhood and community park benefit area. This District will maintain street lights, landscaping, detention basins/water quality systems, park maintenance, provide graffiti removal services, open space facilities, and mailboxes located within the District owned by the City with an City of Fontana Page 1 of 2 Printed on 7/21/2022

estimated useful life of five or more years.
The Fiscal Year 2022-23 tax levy for the single-family homes would be $968 per assessor’s parcel consisting of $661 for maintenance, $37 for street lighting, and $270 for parks. The District’s 2022-23 maximum tax has been established at $1,355 per assessor’s parcel and allows for a 2% inflation index pursuant to City guidelines.
Other maintenance districts in the City have annual rates ranging from $262 to $1,010 per assessor's parcel, with $551 per assessor's parcel being the current average. The lower than average rate for this District is due to the higher than usual number of units in the District.
The special taxes for the District and any assessments or special taxes for the school district, together with the projected ad valorem property taxes, do not exceed the City Council policy of 1.95% of the sales price.
Potential homeowners will be notified of the special tax burdens when purchasing their property. It is possible that homeowners in the future could oppose the tax rate and vote, under the Mello Roos Act, to eliminate the special taxes. If this were to occur, a reduction in services or payment from the general fund would be required.
Attached is a resolution stating the City Council’s intent to proceed with the formation of the District (the “Resolution of Intent”). A boundary map and legal descriptions are a part of the Resolution of Intent. Also attached is a proposed calendar of events from Best Best & Krieger, LLP. Additionally, the property owner will waive all time limits and other requirements of the California Elections Code in order for the special election to be held at the time of the September 13, 2022 public hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action is the first in a two-step City Council approval process to establish a maintenance community facilities district for this project in order to provide long-term funding for the maintenance of City street lighting, landscaping, detention basins/water quality systems, graffiti removal, park maintenance, open space facilities and mailboxes located within the District owned by the City with an estimated useful life of five or more years. All costs of establishing the District are paid by the developer, the current property owner, with ongoing annual maintenance service costs paid by the property owners.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.

(3) Pursuant to said Section 53326, ballots for the consolidated special elections shall be distributed to the qualified electors by the City Clerk by mail with return postage prepaid, or by personal service.

(5) The official ballot to be mailed by the City Clerk to each landowner-voter shall have printed or typed thereon the name of the landowner-voter and the number of votes to be voted by the landowner-voter and shall have appended to it a certification to be signed by the person voting the official ballot which shall certify that the person signing the certification is the person who voted the official ballot, and if the landowner-voter is other than a natural person, that he or she is an officer of or other person affiliated with the landowner-voter entitled to vote such official ballot, that he or she has been authorized to vote such official ballot on behalf of the landowner-voter, that in voting such official ballot it was his or her intent, as well as the intent of the landowner-voter, to vote all votes to which the landowner-voter is entitled based 479
6 on its land ownership on the propositions set forth in the official ballot as marked thereon in the voting square opposite each such proposition, and further certifying as to the acreage of the landowner-voter's land ownership within the District.

DISCUSSION:
Community Facilities District No 85 (The Meadows) was established by Resolution No. 2018-089 on October 23, 2018, to finance public facilities and to pay annual landscape and lighting costs for the district. On October 22, 2020, the District issued $22,640,000 of Special Tax Bonds to finance the acquisition of certain major capital facilities (infrastructure) to serve properties within the District.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 53340, a resolution must be adopted by the City Council annually to levy a special tax to pay for the cost of providing public facilities, services, and incidental expenses. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax was originally set forth in Ordinance No. 1782 approved and adopted by the City Council on November 13, 2018.
The special tax levied on each assessable parcel within the District is necessary to pay for the cost of providing public facilities and authorized administrative expenses (Facilities Special Tax A); and the annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs of the District (Services Special Tax B). The proposed Fiscal Year 2022-2023 special tax rates (Special Tax A and Special Tax B) are shown in Exhibit A.
The proposed special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 were developed according to the Rate and Method of Apportionment (Exhibit B) and are the same as the prior year.
The District was established after the adoption of Proposition 218 and complies with its requirements because the District and the special taxes were approved by the consent of the property owner at the time the District was formed.

First: The Facilities Special Tax shall be levied on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property in an amount equal to 100% of the applicable Assigned Facilities Special Tax;
Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first step has been completed, the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for Undeveloped Property;
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first two steps have been completed, then the levy of the Facilities Special Tax on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax is determined through the application of the Backup Facilities Special Tax shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Facilities Special Tax up to the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for each such Assessor’s Parcel;
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first three steps have been completed, then the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Public Property at up to 100% the Maximum Facilities Special Tax A for Taxable Public Property, as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities; Notwithstanding the above the CFD Administrator shall, in any Fiscal Year, calculate a levy Proportionately less than 100% of the Assigned Facilities Special Tax in step one (above), when (i) the CFD Administrator is no longer required to provide for the levy of the Facilities Special Tax pursuant to steps two through four above in order to meet the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities; and (ii) all authorized CFD No. 85 Bonds have already been issued or the Council has covenanted that it shall not issue any additional CFD No. 85 Bonds (except refunding bonds) to be supported by the Facilities Special Tax.
Further notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances shall the Facilities Special Tax levied against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued for private residential use be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor’s Parcel within CFD No. 85 by more than ten percent above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. To the extent that the levy of the Facilities 498

SUBJECT:
Approve an Amendment to the Operating Agreement between San Bernardino County Transportation Authority and the City of Fontana for the Fontana Metrolink Station.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Approve Amendment No. 1 to Cooperative Agreement No. 93-078 between the SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY and the CITY OF FONTANA regarding the management of jointly owned property at the Fontana Metrolink Station. 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement. 3) Authorize an allocation of $2,800 from the General Fund.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To concentrate on inter-governmental relations by establishing partnerships and positive working relationships with other public agencies providing services to residents.
DISCUSSION:
At their regular meeting held on July 6th, 2022, the Board of Directors for the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) approved Amendment No. 1 to the existing cooperative agreement with the City of Fontana (City) for the operation and maintenance of the Fontana Metrolink Station.
The original agreement has been in place since June 1st, 1993.
In January of 2022, SBCTA met with City staff from all of the station cities with respect to sharing the costs of insuring the core station assets necessary for the provision of passenger rail service at the stations. The attached Amendment No.1 to the Fontana Station Cooperative Agreement memorializes the arrangement wherein SBCTA will obtain insurance for the core station assets and invoice the City the following fiscal year for 50% of the cost of premiums for the insurance of these core assets. The City of Fontana’s share for the cost of this insurance is $2,711.79 in Fiscal Year 2022/2023.
Included in this amendment, in addition to the insurance language, are corrections to typos present in the existing Station Cooperative Agreement as well as updating of the indemnification language.
Lastly, there is a change in the way proceeds are to be distributed if the cooperative agreement is ever terminated. Currently the proceeds would be split based on the proportion of monetary capital costs expended by each party to establish the station. This amendment changes that to an equal split of the proceeds distributed to each party. It should be noted that this equal split of the proceeds benefits the City as it is documented in the original agreement, the original costs by SBCTA to construct the station were $2,838,535 versus the City’s costs of $351,770.

DISCUSSION:
Community Facilities District No 80 (Bella Strada) was established by Resolution No. 2015-021 on April 14, 2015, to finance public facilities and to pay annual landscape and lighting costs for the district. On August 15, 2017 the District issued $11,125,000 of Special Tax Bonds to finance the acquisition of certain major capital facilities (infrastructure) to serve properties within the District.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 53340, a resolution must be adopted by the City Council annually to levy a special tax to pay for the cost of providing public facilities, services, and incidental expenses. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax was originally set forth in Ordinance No. 1726 approved and adopted by the City Council on April 14, 2015.
The special tax levied on each assessable parcel within the District is necessary to pay for the cost of providing public facilities and authorized administrative expenses (Facilities Special Tax A); and the annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs of the District (Services Special Tax B). The proposed Fiscal Year 2022-2023 special tax rates (Special Tax A and Special Tax B) are shown in Exhibit A, Schedule 2.
The proposed special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 were developed according to the Rate and Method of Apportionment. Special tax rate A (bond) and special tax rate B (maintenance) will remain the same as the prior year.
The District was established after the adoption of Proposition 218 and complies with its requirements because the District and the special taxes were approved by the consent of the property owner at the time the District was formed.

Levy of a Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 37 (Montelago) for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-098, of the City Council of the City of Fontana, California, authorizing the Levy of Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 37 (Montelago) for Fiscal Year 2022- 2023.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To practice sound fiscal management by fully funding liabilities and reserves. · To practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.
DISCUSSION:
Community Facilities District No. 37 (Montelago) was established by Resolution No. 2005-63 on June 7, 2005, to finance public facilities and to pay annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs for the district. On September 1, 2005, the District issued $4,590,000 in Special Tax Bonds to finance the acquisition of certain major capital facilities (infrastructure) to serve properties within the District. The bonds were refunded in 2021 to take advantage of interest rate savings.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 53340, a resolution must be adopted by the City Council annually to levy a special tax to pay for the maturing principal and interest on the bonds. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax was originally set forth in Ordinance No. 1480 approved and adopted by the City Council on June 21, 2005.
The special tax levied on each assessable parcel within the District is necessary to pay principal and interest on the outstanding bonded indebtedness and authorized administrative expenses (Special Tax A); and the annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs of the District (Special Tax B).
The portion of the special tax rate necessary to pay the principal and interest on the outstanding bonded indebtedness and authorized incidental expenses is comprised of available cash balance, debt service payments, and administration costs (Exhibit A, Schedule 1).
The proposed Fiscal Year 2022-2023 special tax rates (Special Tax A and Special Tax B) are shown in Exhibit A, Schedule 2.
On July 27, 2021, City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 special tax levy and rates.

However, the bonds were refunded on July 29, 2021 to take advantage of interest rate savings, lowering the rates actually assessed for Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
A comparison of the total special tax levy and rates (A and B) for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 and Fiscal Year 2022-2023 is outlined in Exhibit A, Schedule 3.
The proposed special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 were developed according to the Rate and Method of Apportionment (Exhibit B). Assessed special tax rates A (bond) and special tax rate B (maintenance) will remain the same as the prior year.
The District was established after the adoption of Proposition 218 and complies with its requirements because the District and the special taxes were approved by the consent of the property owner at the time the District was formed.
The City Treasurer has reviewed and supports this action.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed Fiscal Year 2022-2023 special tax rates are the same as the prior year and will generate approximately $324,112; $237,311 for debt service expenses and $86,801 for landscape and lighting maintenance costs.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.

Adopt Resolution No. 2022-099, of the City Council of the City of Fontana, California, authorizing the Levy of a Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 12 (Sierra Lakes) for Fiscal Year 2022- 2023
COUNCIL GOALS:

DISCUSSION:
Community Facilities District No. 12 was established by Resolution No. 99-09 on January 19, 1999, to finance public facilities and to pay annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs for the district.
On November 24, 1999, the District issued $25.4 million in Special Tax Bonds, Series 1999, to finance certain public improvements within the District. The bonds were refunded in 2005 and again in 2021 to take advantage of interest rate savings.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 53340, a resolution must be adopted by the City Council annually to levy a special tax to pay for the maturing principal and interest on the bonds. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax was originally set forth in Resolution No. 99-09 approved and adopted by the City Council on January 19, 1999, and later amended by Resolution No. 99-99 on October 5, 1999.
The special tax levied on each assessable parcel within the District is necessary to pay principal and interest on the outstanding bonded indebtedness and authorized administration expenses (Special Tax A); and the annual park, parkways, and open space maintenance costs of the District (Special Tax B).
The portion of the special tax rate above necessary to pay the principal and interest on the outstanding bonded indebtedness and authorized incidental expenses is comprised of available cash balance, debt service payments, and administration costs (Exhibit A, Schedule 1).

The proposed Fiscal Year 2022-2023 special tax rates (Special Tax A and Special Tax B) are outlined in Exhibit A, Schedule 2.
On July 27, 2021, City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 special tax levy and rates.
However, the bonds were refunded on July 29, 2021 to take advantage of interest rate savings, lowering the rates actually assessed for Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
A comparison of the total special tax levy and rates (A and B) for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 and Fiscal Year 2022-2023 is outlined in Exhibit A, Schedule 3.
The proposed special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 were developed according to the Rate and Method of Apportionment (Exhibit B). The assessed rates for the special tax A (bond) and special tax rate B (maintenance) will remain the same as the prior year.
The District was established after the adoption of Proposition 218 and complies with its requirements because the District and the special taxes were approved by the consent of the property owner at the time the District was formed.
The City Treasurer has reviewed and supports this action.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed Fiscal Year 2022-2023 bond special tax rates and the maintenance special tax rate will remain the same as the prior year. The levy will generate approximately $2.4 million; $1.5 million for debt service expenses and $0.9 million for park, parkways and open space maintenance costs.

SUBJECT:
Levy of a Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 1 (Southridge Village) for Fiscal Year 2022- 2023
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-100, Authorizing the Levy of a Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 1 (Southridge) for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.
DISCUSSION:
To mitigate the fiscal impact of Southridge Village, the City Council adopted Resolution 84-13 establishing Community Facilities District No. 1 (Southridge). The District was established to fund and provide the following services:
· Police Services
· Fire protection, suppression, ambulance and paramedic services · Operation and maintenance of parks and parkways
Pursuant to the Special Tax Rate and Method of Apportionment, adopted by the City Council on November 15, 1983, the special tax rate in the District may annually increase by an amount which is the lesser of (1) the annual increase in the consumer price index (CPI) as determined by the U.S.
Department of Labor Statistics or (2) five percent (5%) of the maximum special tax rate.
The proposed Fiscal Year 2022-2023 maximum special tax rate for the District is $1,003.39 per equivalent dwelling unit. This reflects a 5% increase over the prior fiscal year as the annual increase in CPI was 6.6%. The actual tax will increase by 2% ($15.04) to $767.04.
It is projected that the revenues generated by the actual tax of $767.04 per equivalent dwelling unit will be sufficient to cover the cost of providing the services authorized by the District and detailed in Exhibit A.
The City's special taxes for this District have been reviewed in light of the passage of Proposition 218. The recommended actions comply with the provisions of this proposition.

DISCUSSION:
As required by state law, the City is limited to amending any element of the General Plan to no more than four (4) times in one (1) calendar year. Since the City receives multiple general plan amendment requests during the year, it is customary to combine the general plan amendment requests. The first combined general plan amendment was approved by the City Council on February 8, 2022. This will be the second combined general plan amendment for calendar year 2022.
This combined general plan amendment package includes three (3) general plan amendments and their associated projects which have been designated as Part No. 1, Part No. 2, and Part No. 3 to ensure that the multiple general plan amendments are approved together, thereby counting as one (1) approval. Below is a discussion of the three (3) projects as part of this amendment package.
Discussion Part No. 1 - Sierra Summit Industrial Project Background:
The project was considered by the Planning Commission at a duly noticed public hearing on July 5, 2022. The Planning Commission voted (4-0) to adopt Resolution PC No. 2022-025, thereby forwarding a recommendation of approval to the City Council.
Project Description/Analysis:
The applicant, Ray Allard of Allard Engineering, is requesting a General Plan Amendment No. 21- 001, Zoning District Map Amendment No. 21-002, Design Review No. 21-014 and Development Agreement No. 22-001 for the purpose of constructing a 102,330 square foot industrial commerce building. The project site is vacant and is approximately 4.49 adjusted gross acres and is located at the northeast corner of Sierra Avenue and Summit Avenue.
General Plan Amendment No. 21-001 and Zoning District Map Amendment No. 21-002:
The current General Plan and Zoning land use designations of General Commercial (C-G and C-1, respectively) do not allow for industrial commerce uses. Therefore, the applicant has applied for a General Plan Amendment to amend the general plan land use designation of the project site to Light Industrial (I-L) and a Zoning District Map amendment to change the Zoning District Map designation City of Fontana Page 3 of 9 Printed on 7/21/2022

Agenda #: A. Category: Public Hearing
to Light Industrial (M-1).
The Fontana Zoning and Development Code requires that the City Council find that this zone change promotes the goals of the General Plan. The parcels to the north and south are industrial uses, with industrial land use designations. This proposed zone change will be consistent with adjacent land use designations and will support the quality of life in the community and enhance the built environment as cited in the General Pan (Chapter 15, Goal No. 1 and Goal No. 2) page 15-18 and page 15-34:
Goal No. 1 “The Strategic Policy Map and the Future Land Use Map guide land-use decision making”.
Goal No. 2 “Fontana development patterns support a high-quality of life and economic prosperity”.
This amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning District Map will accomplish the goals of the General Plan and the Fontana Zoning and Development Code. For reference, the existing and proposed General Plan Land Use Designations are attached under separate cover and show the configuration and relationships of the proposed land uses.
Design Review No. 21-014
The proposed industrial commerce building is located on 4.49 acres and is approximately 102,330 square feet, which includes an office totaling approximately 10,000 square feet A gate-secured truck court with 11 loading docks are proposed on the south side of the building. The use of glazing, parapets, canopies, accent colors and painted banding will add structural and visual interest to the building. Additionally, variations to the building face and roof lines will be architecturally pleasing.
Access to and from the project site would be provided from two driveways one on Sierra Avenue and the other at the termination of Summit Avenue. Proposed landscaping would be ornamental in nature and would features trees, shrubs, and drought-tolerant accent plants in addition to a variety of groundcovers.
The project site is physically suitable in size and shape to support the development of the proposed industrial commerce building. The applicable building codes, zoning codes, and fire codes and standards, will make for a safe, attractive, and well-designed project. As proposed, the project is consistent with the standards of the Zoning and Development Code. The proposal has been designed to be compatible with the industrial uses to the north and south of the site, while also providing a development that has been designed with features (architectural relief, added landscaping, street improvements, and lighting), to enhance the character of the area.
Development Agreement No. 22-001
The property owner will voluntarily enter into a development agreement with the City of Fontana that will facilitate the payment of a public benefit fee for $434,903.

Discussion: Part No. 2 - Citrus East Residential Development Background:
The project was considered by the Planning Commission at a duly noticed public hearing on July 5, 2022. The Planning Commission voted (4-0) to adopt Resolution PC No. 2022-026, thereby forwarding a recommendation of approval to the City Council.
Project Description/Analysis:
The applicant, Lennar Homes, is proposing a 76 detached motorcourt (cluster) units on approximately 8.65 gross acres. The amenities will be installed throughout the project site. The project site is located on the northeast corner of Citrus Avenue and Summit Avenue on one (1) vacant parcel. The applicant has proposed to subdivide the existing parcel into 76 parcels, eight (8) Letter Lots for the amenities and the perimeter landscape areas, and five (5) new streets. The project includes 76 detached single-family residential units with proposed three (3) and four (4) bedroom units. The proposed detached single-family units are arranged in mostly clusters of six (6) units with a 26 foot shared drive aisle. Three architectural themes are proposed in Progressive Traditional, Progressive Prairie, and Modern Farmhouse styles. Additionally, recreational amenities are being proposed throughout the project area.
General Plan Amendment No. 21-009 and Zone Change No. 21-011:
The current General Plan and Zoning land use designations do not allow for residential uses.
Therefore, the applicant is requesting to change the General Plan land use designation from C-C to R-M and the Zoning district designation from C-1 to R-2. This would allow the development of singlefamily homes with various amenities on the project site.
The Fontana Zoning and Development Code requires that the City Council find that this zone change promotes the goals of the General Plan.

Discussion: Part No. 3 - Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific Plan Amendment City of Fontana Page 6 of 9 Printed on 7/21/2022
powered by Legistar™652
File #: 21-1422 Agenda Date: 7/26/2022
Agenda #: A. Category: Public Hearing
Background:
· The existing Specific Plan was adopted by the City Council on March 27, 2007, to create a unique master planned development that captured the City’s vision for the “Regional Mixed Use” zoning classification in northern Fontana, and the City’s vision for a Corporate Corridor along I-15.
· The applicant received approval for a previous Specific Plan Amendment (SPA No. 21-004) and Design Review (DR No. 21-02) by the City Council on September 14, 2021, to change the development standards for Planning Area 6 to accommodate the proposed construction of a 257 unit attached multi-family residential project with various amenities including a clubhouse with a pool, walking paths, and courtyards.
The project was considered by the Planning Commission at a duly noticed public hearing on July 5, 2022. The Planning Commission voted (4-0) to adopt Resolution PC No. 2022-024 thereby forwarding a recommendation of approval to the City Council.
Project Description/Analysis:
The applicant, Stephen King, on behalf of Frontier Enterprises, is requesting that the Planning Commission recommend approval to the City Council for a specific plan amendment that will modify and update the overall specific plan to reflect the current planning and market demands. The project is located on the northwest corner of Duncan Canyon Road and Citrus Avenue. The project reenvisions the project site with six (6) Planning Areas instead of the existing ten with approximately 102 acres as well as general plan amendment to modify the to modify the area of the General Commercial (C-G) and Multi-Family Residential (R-MF) land use designation.
The Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific Plan is a 102-acre master planned, mixed-use community that creates a unique sense of place in North Fontana. The design reflects a Mediterranean theme and focuses on a mixed-use and Tuscan village environment. The design will be visually distinctive and will create a unique “window” into Fontana from the Interstate 15 Freeway.
General Plan Amendment No. 21-006:
The Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific Plan currently has General Plan land use designation of Medium-Family Residential (R-M) and General Commercial (C-G). The applicant has applied for a General Plan Amendment to amend portions of the general plan land use designation of the project site (Ventana Specific Plan) to General Commercial (C-G), Medium-Family Residential (R-MF), Regional Mixed Use (RMU), and Multi-Family Medium/High (R-MFMH).
The Fontana Zoning and Development Code requires that the City Council find that this zone change promotes the goals of the General Plan.
Goal No. 1 “The Strategic Policy Map and the Future Land Use Map guide land-use decision making”.
Goal No. 2 “Fontana development patterns support a high-quality of life and economic prosperity”.

Agenda #: A. Category: Public Hearing
This amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning District Map will accomplish the goals of the General Plan and the Fontana Zoning and Development Code by supporting the new Planning Areas of the proposed specific plan amendment, which will provide additional housing opportunities within the city.
Specific Plan Amendment No. 21-001:
The proposed Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific Plan Amendment will modify and update the overall specific plan by establishing new Planning Areas that will have unique land uses, development standards, design guidelines, and create a special place for people to live, work, play, shop, and visit. Based on the amendment, the new specific plan will provide the opportunity to have a “one stop shop” for travelers along Interstate 15 freeway. The proposed project will include the development of up to 476,500 square feet of commercial uses, 1,671 residential dwelling units in three (3) separate residential villages, a focal point piazza (public square), and the construction of the realigned Lytle Creek Road. The proposed specific plan amendment will renumber the existing planning areas and establish six (6) new Planning Areas (labeled as PA1, PA2, PA3, PA4, PA5, and PA6) with four different zoning classifications. The proposed zoning designation will be Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential, Mixed-Use, and Commercial. Planning Area No. 1 is the “Residential Village” (max density of 26 du/ac) which will allow for the development of attached condominiums, townhomes, and multi-family development with varies recreational amenities that residents will enjoy. Planning Areas No. 2, 5a, 5b and 6a have a “Commercial” designation that allows for a variety of uses that include corporate offices, hotels, sit-down restaurants, research and development uses, retail, and athletic facilities. Planning Area 3 is the “High Density Residential” (max density of 30 du/ac) which envisions high density attached products such as multifamily attached, townhomes or flats that range from two to four stories. These housing types will appeal to singles, young couples, families, and seniors. These zoning district will allow a variety of uses that further complement the vision of the specific plan and the City’s vision for Regional Mixed Development in the north Fontana area.
To summarize, the most significant difference between the existing Specific Plan and the proposed project is the overall increase from a maximum of 842 residential units under the existing Specific Plan to 1,671 units for the proposed Specific Plan Amendment. The total commercial area would be reduced by 98,000 square feet (17 percent), from 574,500 square feet under the existing Specific Plan, to 476,500 square feet for the proposed Specific Plan.
