Sec. 30-376. - Live/work.

Fontana Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Fontana

Description: The live/work building type is a small to medium-sized attached or detached structure that consists of single dwelling unit above and/or behind a flexible ground floor space that can be used for home-business uses such as residential, personal and general service, or retail uses.

Arcades contain ground-floor storefronts, making them ideal for retail use as the arcade shelters the pedestrian and shades the storefront glass, preventing glare that might obscure views of merchandise. As allowed, the arcade also provides habitable space over the sidewalk creating a very urban street character.
