The City Council finds that the EIR contains a complete and accurate reporting of all the environmental impacts associated with the Ordinance. The City Council further finds that the EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA, 2019 Local Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act, and the State CEQA Guidelines. Further, based on the CEQA Sections 15162 through 15164, staff has determined that none of the criteria requiring a subsequent environmental document have been met and that further environmental analysis is not required. A Notice of Determination has been prepared.
SECTION 3. Findings. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds this Ordinance promotes the public health, safety and welfare of the community.
SECTION 4. Findings Pursuant to Section 30-40 of FMC. The City of Fontana City Council hereby makes the following findings for Zoning and Development Code Amendment No. 22-010 in accordance with Section 30-40 “Purpose” of the Fontana Zoning and Development Code:
Finding: The Zoning and Development Code may be amended by changing the development standards (text) or zoning
designation map boundaries of any zone whenever such an amendment is deemed necessary to protect or promote the public's health, safety, or general welfare or when
modification is viewed as appropriate in the context of generally accepted planning principles, surrounding land uses, and the General Plan.
Findings of Fact: The City of Fontana is implementing the following six “core” districts within the City’s Downtown: the Civic Core, Gateway Core, Multi-Family Core, Mixed-Use Core, Neighborhood Core and Sierra Core. The Sierra Core will be the heart of the 50 Ordinance No. 2023 - ___
Downtown and allow seventy (70) units per acre with commercial development required on the first floor. The goal is to allow desirable development with attractive architecture, pedestrian amenities and commercial development to create a vibrant Downtown. The Gateway and Mixed-Use Core districts will allow for mixed-use development with incentives to permit a density of up to fifty (50) units per acre with commercial development.
Currently, the Form Based Code limits development up to thirtynine (39) units per acre. The Multi-Family Core will allow for multifamily development up to thirty-nine (39) per acre and up to fifty (50) units per acre with a one-acre lot assemblage. This area will act as a buffer between the Core districts previously mentioned and the lower density Neighborhood Core. The Neighborhood Core allows for single-family development, but does allow incentives to permit an extra accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in addition to the State mandate on ADU’s. Multi-family development is permitted in the Neighborhood Core, but the minimum lot size is one acre.
SECTION 5. Approval. The City Council approves Zoning and Development Code Amendment No. 22-010 to amend the Zoning and Development Code to implement the Downtown Core as shown on Exhibit A (Attachment No. 7), and attached hereto and by this reference incorporated as though fully set forth herein.
Section 6. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after the date of the adoption. This Ordinance shall be published by the City Clerk at least once in the Herald News or other local newspaper of the general circulation, published and circulated in the City of Fontana, and henceforth and thereafter the same shall be in full force and effect.
SECTION 7. Publication. This Ordinance shall be published by the City Clerk at least once in the Herald News or other local newspaper of the general circulation, published and circulated in the City of Fontana, and henceforth and thereafter the same shall be in full force and effect.
SECTION 8. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the Ordinance. Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions may be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 9. Custodian of Records. The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which this Ordinance is based are located at the City Clerk’s office located at 8353 Sierra Avenue, Fontana, CA 92335. The custodian or records is the City Clerk.

b. The land use is consistent with the purpose of the applicable zoning district.
c. The characteristics and activities associated with the proposed land use are similar to one or more of the listed land uses in Table 30-359.A—Land Uses and will not produce greater impacts than the land uses listed for the zoning district.

e. The land use is not listed as allowed in another zoning district. (3) A "P" indicates a use is permitted by right subject to design review by the Planning Commission or administrative site plan review by the Director of Community Development.
(4) An "M" indicates the use requires the granting of a minor use permit (MUP).
53 ATTACHMENT NO. 7
(5) A "C" indicates the use requires the granting of a conditional use permit (CUP).
(6) A "—" means the use is not permitted in that zoning district. Any use that is not listed is not permitted.

Sec. 30-396a. Downtown Core Design Regulations (Commercial, Apartment, and Mixed-Use Buildings).
This Section provides regulations and standards for new or renovated commercial, apartment, and mixed-use building types.
(1) Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED): Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts shall be incorporated into the project design in order to create a safe built environment. (2) General Façade Composition: Buildings should generally be “four-sided,” meaning that all facades (including sides and rear) shall be considered visible and treated with articulation and materials.
(3) Size, Mass, and Scale: The scale of buildings and accessory structures (including canopies) shall be appropriate to the scale of structures built, or anticipated, in that district. Height of buildings shall be proportionate to the number of stories proposed.
(4) Building Materials:
a. Building wall materials shall be combined on each façade only horizontally, unless the building is broken vertically by a change of plane, or a vertical architectural element.
b. Building walls shall be finished in one (1) or more of the following materials:
i. Wood
ii. Fiber cement board siding, smooth finish
iii. Reinforced concrete with stucco
iv. Brick
v. Corrugated metal, which may be approved by the Director of Planning based on the surrounding context and location on the site 113
v. Other materials as approved by the Director of Planning, based on visual compatibility with listed approved materials
c. Doors shall be made of wood, metal, glass, or fiberglass. (5) Roof Materials:
a. Roof materials shall match or complement the proposed architectural style. b. Roof materials that shall not be used include:
i. Stamped sheet metal used to simulate Mediterranean or Spanish roof tiles.
ii. Corrugated sheet metal.
iii. Lightweight asphalt shingles.
iv. Wood shakes or shingles.
(6) Roof Forms: Where pitched roofs exist, primary roofs shall have a minimum slope of 4:12, while ancillary roof slopes may be no less than 2:12. (7) Windows and Doors:
a. Proportion and Details
i. Windows shall not be flush with exterior wall treatments. Windows shall be provided with an architectural surround at the jambs and header, and a projecting sill.
ii. Window openings may be grouped horizontally, but trim between windows shall be at least 3.5 inches wide. This does not apply to storefront windows.
b. Facade Transparency: Building elevations that face the street shall have at least 40% of the first-floor wall area consist of windows and/or doors and 15% of upper floors.
(8) Architectural Details:
a. Shutters: Shutters shall be sized and placed so as to equal the width that would be required to cover the window opening.
b. Cornices: If cornices are used, then the cornices are required to delineate the tops of facades. Expression lines are required to delineate the divisions between the first floor and upper floors. Cornices and expression lines shall either be a molding or a jog in the surface plane of the building.
(9) Exterior Building Color:
a. Fluorescent colors shall not be used as primary wall colors or accent colors except when approved by the Director of Planning when the colors are appropriate for the surrounding area and enhance the visual interest of an area. b. Colors that relate to or enhance the building’s existing district character shall be used. Light colors such as different shades of whites and pastels are appropriate.
Extremely bright colors shall not be used as primary wall colors. c. Secondary colors shall complement the primary building color. They shall be lighter or darker values than the body color or use more saturated hues of the body color. Secondary colors can be used to give additional emphasis to architectural features such as building bases or wainscots, columns, brackets, 114
cornices, capitals, and bands; or used as trim on doorframes, storefront elements, windows and window frames, railing shutters, ornament, fences, etc. (10)Mechanical Equipment and Screening:
a. Rooftop equipment such as mechanical equipment shall be screened on all sides, and the screening shall be integrated into the overall building design. b. Mechanical equipment, such as ventilation systems, commercial exhaust fans, rooftop terminations, commercial cooling equipment, heating and air conditioning units, TV antennas, and satellite dishes, shall be hidden or screened from view.
Architectural features or vegetation can be used to conceal mechanical equipment. Screen material shall be properly maintained. If vegetation is used for screening, the mature size of the vegetation shall be considered so that equipment air flow will not be compromised.
(11)Proportions of Bays and Openings: All building bays, including porches, colonnades and porticos as appropriate, shall be square or vertical in proportion, unless the design merits a horizontally-proportioned opening. Wall opening, except for transoms and storefronts, shall be square or vertical in proportion. The façade of a proposed building shall draw upon the proportion and number of bays in surrounding buildings, as defined by windows, doors, and column spacing, to establish a compatible scale.
(12)Garages and Accessory Structures: Attached garages, detached garages, and other accessory structures shall be subordinate in height, footprint, and proportion to the primary structure on the site, and shall be compatible with the principal structure in terms of roof form, materials, and color. Where a garage contains an accessory dwelling unit above, it may exceed the height of the primary structure. (13)Utility and Service Equipment Areas:
a. Locate ancillary facilities within buildings, not along the street facing facade, to the maximum extent feasible. Where ancillary facilities such as trash receptacles and utility meters absolutely cannot be incorporated into a building, locate them at the rear of the site in freestanding, completely enclosed structures designed to be compatible with the architecture of the rest of the development. b. Loading docks, service areas, and trash disposal facilities shall be hidden or screened from view of streets, parks, squares, or significant pedestrian spaces.
Service, utility and mechanical functions, including retail loading shall be located in alleys whenever present. When alleys are not present, service functions shall be placed behind buildings. Building design shall accommodate equipment with niches or insets.
c. Trash and storage enclosures shall be architecturally integrated into the project design. Landscaping shall be provided adjacent to enclosures for screening and deterring graffiti.
d. Build covered trash enclosures with durable materials such as stone, concrete block, steel, and heavy timber.
e. The location of trash enclosures shall be easily accessible for trash collection and shall not impede general site circulation patterns during loading operations. f. Trash service plan shall be provided, which shall be subject to the approval of the Director of Planning.
115
g. Locate electrical panels to minimize their visibility from the street, in locations such as side yard walls, and/or behind landscaped areas. Integrate them into the design of residential buildings to the maximum extent feasible. h. Utility service connections shall be underground or screened, which shall be subject to the approval of the Director of Planning.
(14)Outdoor Display of Merchandise:
a. Definition of “Merchandise”: For purposes of this section, merchandise is defined as any item that is for sale on the premises or is representative of an item that is for sale on the premises, regardless of whether that particular item is available for purchase.
b. Arrangement: Merchandise shall be arranged and spaced so as not to clutter the front of the property, as determined by the Director of Planning or designee. c. Location:
i. Merchandise shall not be placed on the public sidewalk or within the rightof-way without the approval of the Director of Planning or designee. If merchandise is displayed on any privately owned sidewalk, a minimum of four (4) feet of the sidewalk as measured from the curb must remain open and unobstructed to facilitate safe pedestrian circulation. ii. Areas designated for vehicular parking may not be used as outdoor display areas except as authorized in the Zoning and Development Code such as Temporary Use Permits.
iii. Merchandise shall not be displayed on public street furniture or landscaping.
d. Designation in Plans: Plans for new developments or reuse of an existing space shall clearly designate any areas for outdoor display of outdoor merchandise.
Outdoor display of merchandise shall only occur in areas designated for such display on the approved plan.
(15)Trellises, Marquees, and Architectural Canopies: Materials, colors, and form shall be derived from the building architecture
(16)Balconies: Balconies are encouraged at upper stories to create visual interest, support an architectural style or context, and to provide outdoor spaces for upper story tenants.
