Fontana Municipal Code § 30-3 Greater or conflicting provisions

This chapter (Chapter 30) shall be known as the "Zoning and Development Code."

This article establishes official land use zoning regulations and design guidelines. The zoning districts and regulations set forth in this article are consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan and are designed to:

(1) Encourage the most appropriate use of land and ensure compatibility between uses;

(2) Provide open space for light, air, and the preservation of resources;

(3) Facilitate the timely provision of adequate infrastructure and community facilities;

(4) Promote excellent architectural design; and

(5) Promote health, safety, and general welfare of the residents and visitors of the City.

The interpretation and application of the provisions of this article shall be the minimum requirements for the promotion of public health, safety, and welfare. It is not the intent of this article to limit standards to minimums.

Where any provision of this article imposes more stringent requirements, regulations, restrictions, or limitations than are imposed or required by any other provisions of the Municipal Code, law, ordinance, restrictive covenant, or easement, this article shall govern.

Notwithstanding any other lawful exemptions to zoning regulations, the provisions of this title, shall not apply to any development standards or entitlement processes any buildings, improvements, lots, or premises, owned, leased, operated or controlled by the City or any City Project for public purpose by the City of Fontana. Such projects would still require discretionary review by the City.
