The City of Fontana acquired this parcel of land as part of the Foothill Boulevard widening project. APN 0230-051-03 is a vacant parcel consisting of approximately 20,300 square feet. The city envisions development of the property into a use consistent with the current Form Based Code Zoning.
Located on Foothill Boulevard, east of Almond Avenue, the property’s land encompasses approximately 20,300 square feet. The property is located within the Route 66 Gateway District of the Form Based Code with vacant land to the east and west of the subject parcel.
In accordance with Government Code Section 54222, you have sixty (60) days from the date this offer was sent via certified mail or electronic mail to notify the City of your interest in acquiring any or all of the above properties. However, this offer shall not obligate the City to sell the property to you. Instead, if your notice of interest is compliant with the Act, the City would enter into at least ninety (90) days of negotiations with you pursuant to Government Code Section 54223. If no notices of interest are received during the 60-day period or no agreement is reached on sales price and terms, or lease terms, with a submitter of a qualifying notice of interest, the City may market the property to the general public.
As required by Government Code Section 54227, if the City receives more than one letter of interest during this 60-day period, it will give first priority to entities proposing to develop housing where at least 25 percent of the units will be affordable to lower income households. If more than one such proposal is received, priority will be given to the proposal with the greatest number of affordable units. If more than one proposal specifies the same number of affordable units, priority will be given to the proposal that has the lowest average affordability level.
In the event your agency or company is interested in purchasing or leasing the properties, you must notify the City in writing within sixty (60) days of the date this notice was sent via certified mail or electronic mail.
Notice of your interest in acquiring any of these properties should be delivered to:
