Arboretum Specific Plan

The project pertains to a comprehensive land use amendment and development entitlement package for a 9.3-acre site at the northwest corner of Sierra Avenue and Terra Vista Drive in Fontana, California, involving multiple approvals under the Arboretum Specific Plan. The request includes amending the General Plan to change the land use designation from Residential Planned Community to General Commercial, modifying the Specific Plan to reconfigure planning areas and park sites, and approving a mixed-use commercial center composed of a 49,362-square-foot grocery store, a 13,017-square-foot inline shop building, a 9,544-square-foot pad building, and a 3,694-square-foot drive-thru restaurant. Accompanying approvals encompass a Conditional Use Permit for off-premises alcohol sales, a Tentative Tract Map to subdivide the retail center, and a Tentative Parcel Map to reconfigure remaining parcels and park areas within the plan. A Development Agreement has been amended to align with the revised land uses, and the project has received environmental clearance through an Addendum to the existing Environmental Impact Report under the California Environmental Quality Act, with a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan formally adopted to ensure compliance with identified mitigation measures. The applicant, represented by Daniel Wolzniak of Lewismc.com, is undertaking the development in coordination with the City of Fontana, which acts as the Lead Agency under CEQA and the sole authority responsible for regulatory oversight, approvals, and enforcement. While no traditional federal procurement structure, contract value, or sourcing mechanism is present, the project’s administrative framework includes numerous planning case numbers, environmental documentation, and public review records tied to the State Clearinghouse Number SCH 2006071109. Key contacts for the City include Cecily Session-Goins, Associate Planner, based at 8353 Sierra Avenue, Fontana, CA, who serves as the primary point of coordination. The development also envisions broader community benefits including a regional arboretum, an elementary-middle school, over 3,500 residential units across multiple housing types, interconnected pedestrian trails, bikeways, and full infrastructure upgrades. Despite the absence of federal contract clauses, payment systems, delivery schedules, or invoicing protocols, the project represents a major private development initiative contingent on municipal approval, environmental compliance, and adherence to a legally binding Development Agreement and Mitigation Monitoring Plan.
