Re: Appeal of March 17, 2026 Planning Commission Decision Approving CEQA Class 32 Categorical Exemption for the Hilton Industrial Facility Project (Master Case No. 18-000053; Tentative Parcel Map No. 18-000005 (TPM No. 19950); Design Review No. 18-000010)
Dear City Clerk Key, Director Nevins, and Planner Quintanilla:
I am writing on behalf of Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (“SAFER”) regarding the Hilton Industrial Facility Project (Master Case No. 18-000053; Tentative Parcel Map No. 18-000005 (TPM No. 19950); Design Review No. 18-000010) (“Project”), which proposes the development of two industrial commerce center facilities totaling 71,985 square feet, located north of Hilton Drive and west of Hemlock Avenue, in the City of Fontana (“City”). With this letter, SAFER appeals to the Fontana City Council the Planning Commission’s March 17, 2026 decision to approve the Hilton Industrial Facility based on a California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Class 32 Categorical Exemption for the Project.
The Planning Commission’s March 17, 2026, decision to approve the Project should not be upheld because the Project does not qualify for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption under CEQA. SAFER therefore respectfully requests that the City rescind the Project approvals, conduct an initial study, and prepare either a mitigated negative declaration or environmental impact report to analyze and mitigate the Project’s environmental impacts.
Appeal of Hilton Industrial Facility Project and Class 32 Categorical Exemption March 25 2026
Sincerely,
Rebecca Davis
