Arrow Boulevard and Tokay Avenue
3.5 acres
Light Industrial (M-1)
I-L Light Industrial
Vacant Land
The property is currently vacant and is no longer necessary for its original intended purpose. Due to under-utilization, maintenance, and operational cost and the city’s desire to see the property developed, the city has deemed the land is surplus and is making it available for immediate sale. The city envisions development of the property into a use consistent with the city’s goals for affordable housing.
Located on the Southwest corner of Arrow Boulevard and Tokay Avenue. The property is currently zoned as Light Industrial (I-L) and includes an overlay that allows for permanent housing for individuals that were previously homeless.
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:
City of Fontana
Matt Ballantyne
City Manager
8353 Sierra Avenue
Fontana, CA 92335
