Division 6.01—District Standards and Guidelines

This Division addresses development standards and guidelines, to ensure that proposed development produces an environment of stable and desirable character, is compatible with existing and future development in the vicinity, and protects the use and enjoyment of neighboring properties consistent with the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan.

A. New Development Projects and Land Uses. The requirements of this Chapter shall apply to all proposed development projects and subdivisions, and new land uses, except as specified in Division 3.01 (Nonconforming Lots, Uses, Structures, and Signs), and shall be considered in combination with the provisions of Division 5.03 (Standards for Specific Land Uses, Activities, and Facilities). If any provision of this Division conflicts with the standards contained in Division 5.03 (Standards for Specific Land Uses, Activities, and Facilities), the standards contained in Division

A. Purpose. The purpose of the provisions of this Section is to ensure that development within residential zoning districts of the City will contribute toward an urban environment of stable, desirable character; which is harmonious with existing and future development; and is consistent with the goals and policies of the Policy Plan (General Plan) component of The Ontario Plan. These regulations are further established to:

1. Assist in implementing the goals and objectives of the Vision, Policy Plan (General

Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan;

2. Reserve appropriate areas for residential living in a variety of dwelling types and

tenures, at reasonable ranges of population densities, that will accommodate the City's future population growth;

3. Encourage the continued vitality of existing neighborhoods, and, where

appropriate, encourage the revitalization of neighborhoods by the use of appropriate standards and incentives;

4. Provide a physical environment that contributes to, and enhances, the quality of

life;

5. Promote stable neighborhoods that are well designed, safe, and pleasant places

to live, and that contributes to the establishment of Ontario as a "complete community;"

6. Ensure adequate light, air, privacy, and open space for dwellings;

7. Establish architectural and design guidelines to encourage a high quality

appearance of new and remodeled structures;

8. Establish standards ensuring that new infill residential construction is consistent with

the character and fabric of existing neighborhoods, including densities, design and exterior appearance;

9. Protect residential properties from the hazards of traffic congestion, noise, fire,

explosion, noxious fumes, and other hazards;

10. Facilitate the provision of public utilities and services commensurate with their

need; and

11. Allow for innovative and flexible methods of implementing the goals and policies

of the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan.

Generally, mixed-use districts are intended for the creation of development projects that:

a. Create a dynamic, walkable, mixed-use environment;

b. Provide for a development pattern that encourages the use of public

transportation;

c. Provide for a mix of housing types that are within close proximity to retail

and service uses;

d. Establish high standards for the design and development of buildings,

infrastructure, and landscaping;

(Rev. 11.04.2025) Page 6.01-60 Ontario Development Code

Division 6.01—District Standards and Guidelines

e. Ensure a high degree of pedestrian and vehicular connectivity, and

enhance the vitality of commercial corridors within the City;

f. Facilitate the development of housing, retail, and office uses within close

proximity to one another, allowing residents to walk to retail and service uses, and transit services; and

g. In selected areas, locate buildings close to the street, so that streets and

squares feel enclosed, establishing outdoor rooms.

2. The intent of each established mixed-use district is as follows:

a. Downtown Mixed-Use Area. The Downtown Mixed-Use District (MU-1 zoning

district) is intended to accommodate an intensive mixture of vertical and horizontal retail and office uses at a development intensity of up to 2.0 FAR, and residential uses at a density of 25 to 75 DU/AC.

b. East Holt Mixed-Use Area. The East Holt Mixed-Use District (MU-2 zoning

district) is intended to accommodate the intensification of the East Holt Boulevard Corridor with low-rise (up to 5 stories) buildings housing a mixture of retail and office uses at a development intensity of up to 2.0 FAR and 1.0 FAR, respectively, and residential uses at a density of 14 to 40 DU/AC. The intent of this zoning district is to create identity and place along the Holt Boulevard Corridor and provide a connection between the Downtown Mixed Use Area and the Ontario Airport Metro Center.

c. Euclid/Francis Mixed-Use Area. The Euclid/Francis Mixed-Use District (MU-11

zoning district) is intended to accommodate a low-rise (up to 3 stories) mixture of retail uses at an intensity of up to 1.0 FAR, and residential uses at a density of 14 to 25 DU/AC, that will create identity and place along the Euclid Avenue corridor.

B. Applicability. The standards and guidelines established by this Section shall apply to each of the City's mixed-use zoning districts. Furthermore, the provisions of this Section shall apply to all land subdivisions for mixed-use purposes, and any new mixed-use construction, addition, remodel, or reallocation requiring a building permit or other similar entitlement by the City.

Ontario Development Code Page 6.01-79 (Rev. 02.17.2026)

Division 6.01—District Standards and Guidelines

well;

between an animal feed trough, corral/pen from new development and/or from property with a residential or nonresidential tract map recorded after January 1, 2000, as measured from the building setback line; and

(6) A reduction in animal separation requirements may also be

considered for facilities with proven means of reducing odors, such as covering lagoons, substituting concrete-lined pits for lagoons, and employing recommended ventilation systems for animal confinement buildings. Consideration of alternative setbacks shall be subject to consultation with qualified agricultural engineers to ensure that the measure will reliably accomplish the intended purpose.

n. Separation Requirements for New Development. The following separation

requirements from existing dairies/feed lots shall apply to new residential, commercial, and/or industrial development or structures used for public assembly purposes from existing dairies/feed lots:

residential, commercial, or industrial development or structure used for public assembly and an existing animal feed trough, corral/pen or an existing dairy/feed lot including manure stockpiles and related wastewater detention basins. The 100-FT separation requirement may be satisfied by an off-site easement acceptable to the Planning Director with adjacent properties, submitted with the initial final map and recorded prior to or concurrent with the final map; and

(2) Separation requirements between dairies within a proposed

specific plan area and new development will be addressed through the specific plan review procedure which may include buffers, expanded parkways, open space, and other approved measures to mitigate potential impacts.
