Fontana Municipal Code Div. 6 Performance Standards

This section establishes standards for conducting activities in commercial and mixed-use zoning districts. The standards are designed to protect residents from annoying or potentially harmful environmental conditions.

No activities conducted within commercial or mixed-use zoning districts shall be conducted in such a manner as to constitute a public or private nuisance. The Planning Commission may impose such conditions or mitigation measures as may be appropriate to ensure that activities conducted within a commercial or mixed-use zoning district shall not constitute or become a public or private nuisance.

Without limiting the ability of the City to abate, mitigate, or impose conditions upon public or private nuisances and notwithstanding other provisions of this chapter, all activities conducted within commercial and mixed-use zoning districts shall comply with all applicable provisions of local, state and federal laws and regulations with respect to noise, vibration, smoke, odors, fire and explosive hazards, radiation, toxic or noxious matters, electromagnetic interference, and lighting. The Planning Commission may impose such conditions or mitigation measures as may be appropriate to ensure that activities conducted within any commercial or mixed-use zoning district shall not violate any provisions of local, state or federal laws or regulations with respect to the matters identified in the immediately preceding sentence.

All lights and illuminated signs shall be directed and/or shielded to prevent the light from adversely affecting adjacent properties or distracting motorists.
