Arrow Blvd & Tokay Ave Land Use Redesignation and Homelessness Prevention Resources and Care Center Project
1 September 2023
A. INTRODUCTION
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared in compliance with the
requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 and Section 15097 of the State California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 requires a lead
agency to adopt a “reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of
project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment.” In
addition, State CEQA Guidelines Section 15097(a) requires that a public agency “adopt a program for
monitoring or reporting monitoring or reporting on the revisions which it has required in the project and
the measures it has imposed to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects.”
The City of Fontana is the lead agency for the project and, therefore, is responsible for administering and
implementing the MMRP. A public agency may delegate reporting or monitoring responsibilities to
another public agency or to a private entity that accepts the delegation; however, until mitigation
measures have been completed, the lead agency remains responsible for ensuring that implementation
of the mitigation measures occurs in accordance with the program.
An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) has been prepared to address the potential
environmental impacts of the project. The evaluation of the project’s impacts in the IS/MND identifies
mitigation measures to avoid or reduce potentially significant environmental impacts. This MMRP is
designed to monitor implementation of the mitigation measures identified for the project.
B. ORGANIZATION
As shown on the following pages, each mitigation measure for the project is listed and categorized by
impact area, with an accompanying identification of the following:
Monitoring Phase: The phase of the project during which the mitigation measure shall be
monitored:
o Pre‐construction, including the design phase.
o Construction.
o Occupancy (post‐construction).
Enforcement Agency: The agency with the power to enforce the mitigation measure.
Monitoring Agency: The agency to which reports involving feasibility, compliance,
implementation, and development are made.
Monitoring Frequency: The frequency at which the mitigation measure shall be monitored.
Action(s) Indicating Compliance: The action of which the Enforcement Agency or Monitoring
Agency indicates that compliance with the required mitigation measure has been implemented.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES AND ENFORCEMENT
This MMRP shall be enforced throughout all phases of the project. The Applicant or its Successor shall be
responsible for implementing each mitigation measure and shall be obligated to provide verification, as
identified below, to the appropriate monitoring and enforcement agencies that each mitigation measure
CITY OF FONTANA MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
Arrow Blvd & Tokay Ave Land Use Redesignation and Homelessness Prevention Resources and Care Center Project
2 September 2023
has been implemented. The Applicant or its Successor shall maintain records demonstrating compliance
with each mitigation measure listed below. Such records shall be made available to the City upon request.
During the construction phase and prior to the issuance of building permits, the Applicant or its Successor
shall retain an independent Construction Monitor (either via the City or through a third‐party consultant),
approved by the City of Fontana Planning Department, who shall be responsible for monitoring
implementation of mitigation measures during construction activities consistent with the monitoring
phase and frequency set forth in this MMRP.
The Construction Monitor shall also prepare documentation of the Applicant or its Successor’s compliance
with the mitigation measures during construction every 90 days in a form satisfactory to the Planning
Department. The documentation must be signed by the Applicant or its Successor and Construction
Monitor and be included as part of the Applicant or its Successor’s Compliance Report. The Construction
Monitor shall be obligated to immediately report to the Enforcement Agency any non‐compliance with
mitigation measures within two businesses days if the Applicant or its Successor does not correct the non‐
compliance within a reasonable time of notification to the Applicant or its Successor by the monitor or if
the non‐compliance is repeated. Such non‐compliance shall be appropriately addressed by the
Enforcement Agency.
D. PROGRAM MODIFICATION
After review and approval of the final MMRP by the lead agency, minor changes, and modifications to the
MMRP are permitted, but can only be made subject to City approval. The lead agency, in conjunction with
any appropriate agencies or departments, will determine the adequacy of any proposed change or
modification. This flexibility is necessary considering the nature of the MMRP and the need to protect the
environment. No changes will be permitted unless the MMRP continues to satisfy the requirements of
CEQA, as determined by the lead agency.
The project shall be in substantial conformance with the mitigation measures contained in this MMRP.
The enforcing departments or agencies may determine substantial conformance with mitigation
measures in the MMRP in their reasonable discretion. If the department or agency cannot find substantial
conformance, a mitigation measure may be modified or deleted if the enforcing department or agency,
or the decision maker for a subsequent discretionary project‐related approval, complies with State CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, including by preparing an addendum or subsequent environmental
clearance to analyze the impacts from the modifications to, or deletion of, the mitigation measures. Any
addendum or subsequent CEQA clearance shall explain why the mitigation measure is no longer needed,
not feasible, or the other basis for modifying or deleting the mitigation measure, and that the modification
will not result in a new significant impact consistent with the requirements of CEQA. Under this process,
the modification or deletion of a mitigation measure shall not require a modification to any project
discretionary approval unless the Director of Planning also finds that the change to the mitigation
measures results in a substantial change to the project or the non‐environmental conditions of approval.

impacts on, the special‐status plant species. The qualified biologist
shall oversee installation of a temporary, plastic, mesh‐type
construction fence at least four feet tall around any established buffer
area to prevent encroachment by construction vehicles and personnel.
The qualified biologist shall determine the exact location of the
fencing. The fencing shall be checked and maintained weekly until all
construction is complete. The buffer zone established by the fencing
shall be marked by a sign identifying the special‐status plant and the
applicable protection regulation (Endangered Species Act of 1973,
California Native Plan Protection Act, etc.). No construction activity
shall be allowed until the above conditions are met. Any special‐status
plant species observed during surveys shall be reported to the USFWS
and CDFW and submitted to the CNDDB.
If direct impacts cannot be avoided, the City shall require that the
Applicant prepare a plan for minimizing the impacts by one or more of
the following methods: 1) salvage and replant plants at the same
location following construction; 2) salvage and relocate the plants to a
suitable off‐site location with long‐term assurance of site protection;
3) collect seeds or other propagules for reintroduction at the site or
elsewhere; or 4) payment of fees in lieu of preservation of individual
plants, to be used for conservation efforts elsewhere. The success
criterion for any seeded, planted, and/or relocated plants shall be full
replacement at a 1:1 ratio after five years. Monitoring surveys of the
seeded, planted, or transplanted individuals shall be conducted for a
minimum of five years, to ensure that the success criterion can be
achieved at year 5. If it appears the success criterion would not be met
after five years, contingency measures may be applied. Such measures
shall include, but not be limited to: additional seeding and planting;
altering or implementing weed management activities; or, introducing
or altering other management activities.
Special Status Animal Species: Prior to conducting preconstruction
surveys, the qualified biologist shall prepare a relocation plan that
describes the appropriate survey and handling methods for all special‐
status species with the potential to occur at Site B based on the
literature review and identify nearby relocation sites where individuals
would be relocated if found during the preconstruction surveys. The
relocation plan shall be submitted to CDFW for review prior to the start
of construction activities. The animal shall be relocated to equivalent
or better habitat relative to where it was found. Preconstruction
surveys shall be conducted within 5 days prior to the start of any onsite
activities. If any special‐status wildlife species is identified,
construction activities shall not begin in the immediate vicinity of the
individual until USFWS and/or CDFW is contacted and the individual
has been allowed to leave the construction area or the qualified
biologist has relocated the individual according to the relocation plan.
Any special‐status species observed during surveys shall be reported to
the USFWS and CDFW so the observations can be added to the CNDDB.
Sensitive Natural Communities and Wetlands: In the event that
sensitive natural communities or wetlands are identified, the qualified
biologist shall prepare a Wetland Management Plan delineating any

sensitive natural communities and wetlands and detailing avoidance
and minimization measures that must be implemented during
construction. The construction contractor(s) shall implement the
following general avoidance and minimization measures to protect
sensitive natural communities, wetlands, and waters during
construction:
Work areas shall be delineated with stakes and flagging prior to
construction to avoid sensitive natural resources outside of the
project area. Any construction‐related disturbance outside of
these boundaries, including driving, parking, temporary access,
sampling or testing, or storage of materials, shall be prohibited
without explicit approval of the City and qualified biologist.
The introduction of exotic plant species shall be avoided through
physical or chemical removal and prevention. Measures to
prevent the introduction of exotic plants into the project site via
vehicular sources shall include vehicle cleaning for vehicles
coming to the site and leaving the site. Earthmoving equipment
shall be cleaned prior to transport to the project area. Weed‐free
rice straw or other certified weed‐free straw shall be used for
erosion control.
Construction equipment shall not be stored in sensitive natural
communities, wetlands, or waters.
Any temporary construction impacts shall be restored in place to pre‐activity
functions. Where avoidance and minimization are not feasible or desirable
for resource protection, and permanent impacts, including removal, occur,
applicable U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permits shall be obtained.
Permanent impacts shall be mitigated with wetland compensation through
a USACE‐approved mitigation bank and/or in‐lieu fee program. Mitigation
banking or in‐lieu fees shall result in no net loss of jurisdictional aquatic
resources. A functional assessment, such as the California Rapid Assessment
Method, of the jurisdictional areas proposed to be impacted and preserved
at the mitigation site shall be conducted to evaluate the existing functions
and services within the jurisdictional drainages and ensure that the functions
and values of the jurisdictional areas lost are replaced at the mitigation site.
The precise mitigation ratio shall depend on the functions and values of the
mitigation site and the value of the wetland established by the Wetland
Management Plan.
Heritage, Significant, and Specimen Trees: In the event that heritage,
significant, or specimen trees are identified on Site B, an arborist certified by
the International Society of Arboriculture be retained to make a
recommendation as to the feasibility of maintaining or removing the tree(s).
If any heritage, significant, or specimen trees are to be removed,
replacement trees of a species approved by the Community Development
Director or their designee shall be planted on the property from which the
tree(s) are to be removed or at an approved off‐site location.
MM BIO‐2 Vegetation clearing and ground disturbance shall be prohibited at the
project site during the migratory bird nesting season (January 31
through September 1), unless a migratory bird nesting survey is
completed in accordance with the following requirements:

A nesting bird survey shall be conducted on the project site and
within suitable habitat located within a 500‐foot radius of the
project site by a qualified biologist within three (3) days prior to
initiating vegetation clearing or ground disturbance.
If the survey identifies the presence of active nests, then the nests
shall not be disturbed unless the qualified biologist verifies through
non‐invasive methods that either (i) the adult birds have not begun
egg‐laying and incubation; or (ii) the juveniles from the occupied
nests are capable of independent survival.
If the biologist is not able to verify any of the conditions from sub‐
item “b,” above, then no disturbance shall occur within a buffer
zone specified by the qualified biologist for each nest or nesting
site. The buffer zone shall be species‐appropriate (no less than 100‐
foot radius around the nest for non‐raptors and no more than a
500‐foot radius around the nest for raptors) and shall be sufficient
to protect the nest from direct and indirect impacts from
construction activities. The size and location of buffer zones, if
required, shall be based on consultation with the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service and shall be subject to review and approval by the City. The
nests and buffer zones shall be field checked weekly by a qualified
biological monitor. The approved buffer zone shall be marked in the
field with construction fencing, within which no vegetation clearing
or ground disturbance shall commence until the qualified biologist
with City concurrence verify that the nests are no longer occupied
and/or juvenile birds can survive independently from the nests.

to ensure pedestrian, bicycles, and vehicle safety is maintained.
Adherence and implementation of VMT mitigation strategies
including programs and employee education that promote
travel behavior changes and overall trip reductions through
facilitating employee carpools, incentivizing transit, company
organized rideshare, on‐site bicycle parking and storage, etc.
