Fontana Municipal Code Art. IV Zoning Districts

In order to carry out the purposes and provisions of this chapter, the following zoning districts and overlay districts have been established as indicated in Table No. 30-408.

Table No. 30-408 Established Zoning Districts

The zoning districts listed in Table No. 30-408 and the boundaries of such zoning districts are shown upon a map hereby made a part of this chapter. The map is designated as the "Zoning District Map of the City of Fontana" and is on file at the Community Development Department. Such map and all notations, references, and other information shown on the map shall be as much a part of this chapter as if the matters and information set forth by such map were fully described herein. The specific regulations set forth hereinafter for each zoning district and the general applicable regulations are hereby established and declared to be in effect upon all lands included within the boundaries of each and every zoning district shown upon the "Zoning District Map."

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any zoning district shown on the "Zoning District Map," the following rules shall apply:

(1) Street, alley, and lot lines. Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following street and alley lines or lot lines, the street, alley or lot line shall be construed to be the boundary.

(2) Un-subdivided property. On un-subdivided property where a zoning district boundary divides a lot, the locations of such boundaries, unless indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the map.

(3) Vacated street or alley. Where a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the regulations applicable to the adjoining property with the more restrictive zoning district shall apply to the vacated street or alley.

(4) Planning Commission rule on uncertainty. Where other uncertainty exists, the Planning Commission shall determine the location of the boundaries.

Upon formal notification by the City of its intention to undertake an annexation, the Director of Community Development shall initiate a study to determine the appropriate zoning for the property intended for annexation. The study shall take into consideration the general plan land use designation on the property, as well as other considerations. After such a study, the Director of Community Development shall begin proceedings for the zoning of the property in accordance with the procedures governing a rezoning.
