This policy aims to ensure productive, respectful, and efficient proceedings during council meetings, fostering an environment conducive to open dialogue and effective decision-making. City Council meetings serve as a vital platform for community engagement, where matters of public interest are discussed, and decisions are made.

City Facilities are provided for the use by all residents of Fontana and we seek to ensure these facilities remain safe places where residents can recreate.

The adoption of a Decorum Policy for City Council Meetings and City Facilities is essential to maintain the integrity of proceedings and uphold the values of respectful discourse, inclusivity, and effective governance. By establishing a formal framework, the City Council can ensure that meetings remain focused on the matters at hand and that all participants can engage in a productive and respectful manner.

permit, conditional use permit, variance, subdivision map or other land use entitlement or permit; regulatory license or permit required to comply with the provisions of the City’sMunicipal Code or a Specific Plan for “Servicebased, Non Entertainment Uses”in the primary corridors of Sierra Avenue (from I-10 Freeway and Arrow Boulevard, and between Foothill Boulevard and the I-210 Freeway), and Foothill Boulevard (from Cherry Avenue to Maple Avenue), to allow the City to study its General Plan, Municipal Code or other amendments to local regulations. Additionally, this extension will modify Ordinance No. 1922 by reducing the moratorium boundary from four hundred (400) feet to three hundred (300) feet from the center line of Sierra Avenue between the I-10 Freeway and Arrow Boulevard, and between Foothill Boulevard and the I-210 Freeway (Sierra Avenue corridor), and on any property within three hundred (300) feet from the center line of Foothill Boulevard between Cherry Avenue and Maple Avenue (Foothill Boulevard corridor). Furthermore, the extension will modify Ordinance No. 1922 to exempt, (a) any lawful use that existed at the time of the adoption of Ordinance No. 1922 or thereafter which has ceased operation for no longer than the period set forth in sections 30-357 and 30-351 of the Fontana Municipal Code, or (b) any use set forth in Section 3 herein, which is not the primary use within any business (i.e., a use that constitutes less than fifty (50) percent of floor area and gross sales receipt).

On November 13, 2018, the City adopted its most recent General Plan which detailed the goals and objectives for the City over the next twenty (20) years. In Chapter 14 -Downtown- the City set forth its intention to create a regional hub of the downtown area for dining, shopping and entertainment purposes to attract local and regional visitors. As the main thoroughfares to downtown, Sierra Avenue corridor and Foothill Boulevard corridor, funnel these visitors to the area and promote economic growth to the downtown area, and the City in general.

Pursuant to Government Code section 65858, the extension of this moratorium ordinance, Urgency Ordinance No. 1922, continues the 45-day moratorium placed on service based, non-entertainment uses for the two economic corridors by a period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days. If adopted, this moratorium extension will continue the pause on approval of service based, non-entertainment uses for the two corridors to allow the City time to study and consider potential amendments to the General Plan or Municipal Code to address the standards, process, and potential impacts of such uses.

During the moratorium extension, the City will not authorize or issue any use permit, variance, building permit, business license, or other applicable entitlement or approach for the service based, non-entertainment uses and activity.

The moratorium extension requires a four-fifths vote of the City Council to pass. If adopted, the moratorium will take effect on September 8, 2023 and extend to July 23, 2024. Subsequent to this extension, the City may extend the moratorium by adoption of one additional extension ordinance, for a total moratorium life of 24 months.

During the ten (10) month and fifteen (15) day extension of the moratorium, the City will study potential amendments to the General Plan, any specific plan, the Fontana Municipal Code and/or any other governing document(s) or policy(ies) related to service-based, non-entertainment uses and activity.

Pursuant to the Urgency Ordinance, a 10-day report has been prepared and made available for City of Fontana Printed on 8/31/2023Page 2 of 3

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
An extension of the Urgency Ordinance qualifies for a categorical exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060 (c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; and it prevents changes in the environment pending the completion of zoning code revisions and related impact studies.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Speculative loss of land use application, and permit and license issuance, fees and revenues by the City; and speculative loss of sales and property tax revenue due to any delay in development or improvement in property related to the moratorium.

MOTION:

Approve staff’s recommendation.

REPORT OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FONTANA ON URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 1922 PROHIBITING THE APPROVAL OF ANY BUILDING

PERMIT, OCCUPANCY PERMIT, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, VARIANCE,

SUBDIVISION MAP, DESIGN REVIEW, ADMINISTRATIVE SITE PLAN REVIEW

OR OTHER LAND USE ENTITLEMENT OR PERMIT, OR REGULATORY LICENSE

OR PERMIT REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE

MUNICIPAL CODE OR SPECIFIC PLAN FOR SERVICE BASED, NON-

ENTERTAINMENT USES
I. Introduction
On July 25, 2023, the City Council of the City of Fontana enacted Ordinance No. 1922, an Ordinance temporarily prohibiting the issuance or approval of any building permit, occupancy permit, conditional use permit, variance, subdivision map, design review, administrative site plan review or other land use entitlement or permit or regulatory license or permit required to comply with the provisions of the municipal code or specific plan for “Service based, Non-Entertainment uses”. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the Ordinance remains in effect for forty-five (45) days, and may be extended by the City Council for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days.

Ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Ordinance, the City Council must issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the ordinance.

II. Background on the Adoption of the Ordinance
In support of the Ordinance, the City Council made the following findings:

1. The City of Fontana, California (“City”) is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California.

2. Government Code Section 65300, et seq. allows a city to adopt a General Plan to designate its long-term goals and policies related to its respective community and future development of the city.

3. On November 13, 2018, the City adopted its most recent General Plan, detailing the City’s goals and objectives over the next twenty (20) years.

4. Chapter 14 of the General Plan establishes the City’s intent to make its downtown a local and regional destination hub for dining, shopping and entertainment.

5. The City has identified Foothill Boulevard and Sierra Avenue to be primary corridors that funnel local and regional visitors to its downtown, thereby promoting the economic growth of the City.

6. The City observes that the Sierra Avenue corridor extends from the I-10 Freeway to the I-210 Freeway, and the Foothill Boulevard corridor extends from the Cherry Avenue to Maple Avenue.
48 ATTACHMENT NO. 3

7. The City desires to create a balanced environment within its corridors to foster a similar vision to that of the downtown area.

8. To the extent that the land in the Sierra Avenue and Fontana Boulevard corridors are underutilized, underperforming, or inconsistent with the City’s General Plan, has a responsibility to move forward with studies necessary to implement General Plan policies related to the economic corridors in order to maintain the City’s vibrancy.

9. Without the enactment of the Ordinance, multiple applicants could quickly receive entitlements that would allow for uses contrary to the City’s General Plan, subjecting the City to the potential effects and impacts of uncoordinated and conflicting uses, impacts on parking availability in the downtown area of the City, the aesthetic impacts to the City, and other similar or related effects on property values and the quality of life in the City’s neighborhoods and effectively creating a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare.

10. The City intends to study zone changes prohibiting certain service-related uses along two of its main thoroughfares in an effort to maximize economic development, sales tax generation and encourage entertainment-related development along those corridors.

11. Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City to adopt an interim urgency ordinance to protect the public safety, health and welfare and to prohibit uses which may be in conflict with a contemplated General Plan or zoning proposal which the City is considering, studying or intends to study within a reasonable time.

III. Measures Taken Since the Adoption of the Ordinance As the City Council’s findings demonstrate, the Ordinance was enacted in response to the City’s desire to create an environment within the Sierra Avenue and Foothill Boulevard corridors that is balanced with the City’s downtown area plan to make the downtown a local and regional destination hub for dining, shopping and entertainment.

To alleviate the condition that led to the adoption of the Ordinance, the City has begun to take the following steps:

1. City staff have begun conducting research into comprehensive zoning regulations for the Sierra Avenue and Foothill Boulevard corridors that align with the City’s downtown area plan. For example, City staff are researching examples of compatible dining, shopping and entertainment land uses found elsewhere in California in order to prepare zoning code amendments to meet the City’s General Plan goals and other land use objectives.
49 ATTACHMENT NO. 3

2. City staff have begun conducting research in particular into zoning regulations regarding service based, non-entertainment uses.

City staff have not concluded their research and, thus, have not yet made any final recommendations to the City Council regarding the zoning and regulatory standards for the Sierra Avenue and Foothill Boulevard corridors as related to the City’s downtown plan. For this reason, it is reasonable and appropriate for the City Council to extend the Ordinance for the additional period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days authorized by Government Code Section 65858, to permit City staff to complete their research, make recommendations and allow the City Council to consider and adopt such regulations as it deems appropriate.
