Gomez, City Planner.
Doug Payne and Tommy Stevens from San Bernardino County Planning Department

Mr. Payne stated the City of Fontana had approved the Plan; their only concern
was that the affordable housing was not appropriate for this area.
Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council was:
Ralph Lewis, Lewis Homes, stated their company owned 400 acres in that
area. He asked what difference did it make whether it was attached or
detached housing as long as you don't exceed the density. He also stated
that their attorney felt that Issue 5 on page 3 of the staff report
regarding park land was contrary to State law; that the requirement should
be raw land, not improved land.
Catherine Bridge asked if there would be an opportunity for disagreement
with the recommendations before the Plan is accepted by the County.
Joe DiIorio stated that the intent of the Plan was general and specific
issues regarding services, etc. would be covered when development plans
for specific areas come in.
Betty McNay cautioned the recommendation on Issue 1 with development of
one unit per 40 acres. She felt this could be perhaps one unit per 10.

1. In areas with slopes exceeding 30 percent, development should not exceed
one (1) dwelling unit per 40 ~cres.
ACTION: Council concurred.
Density transfer should be ~eee considered only to avoid development in
environmentally sensitive areas or to avoid undue hardship and should not
impact surrounding areas, provided that any density transfer will not
adversely impact the surrounding area's service capacity, land use
characteristics, consistent and compatible with the surrounding
residential areas. In no case shall the permitted use or permitted
building type be other than single family detached residential in the area
north of Alta Loma. Existing easements which preclude construction of
structures on the ground shall not be considered for density transfers.
ACTION: Council concurred with the changes.

features which may affect housing costs. Such policy would require the
definition of holding capacity based on subarea planned service capacity,
environmental constraints, and surrounding land use characteristics. This
should be done through the development of a specific plan or other similar
deocument, such as a planned urban development plan.
ACTION: Council concurred.

consulted during the review of any development plans. The County shall

facilities such as fire and law enforcement facilities, schools, parks and
trails, libraries, community buildings, sewer and water, and other
infrastructure needs not necessarily provided by private development.
ACTION: Council concurred with the changes.
9. Prior to approval of any ma~eP development of five (5) or mere m~its, a
governmental service district and/or development fee shall have been
established which can assure $eP the development, maintenance, and
