FONTANA WALNUT RESIDENTIAL PROJECT
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program 1
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared for use in implementing
mitigation for the:
Fontana Walnut Residential Project
Master Case No. 24-0060
Residential Development Site Case Nos. 24-0004GPA, 24-0004ZCA,
24-0009TTM, 24-0023CUP, and 24-0031DRP
Upzone Properties Case Nos. 24-0007GPA and 24-0006ZCA
The program has been prepared in compliance with State law and the Mitigated Negative Declaration
(MND) prepared for the Fontana Walnut Residential Project (project) by the City of Fontana (City).
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires adoption of a reporting or monitoring
program for those measures placed on a project to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the
environment (Public Resource Code Section 21081.6). The law states the reporting or monitoring
program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation.
The monitoring program contains the following elements:
1) The mitigation measures are recorded with the action and procedure necessary to ensure
compliance. In some instances, one action may be used to verify implementation of several
mitigation measures.
2) A procedure for compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom and
when compliance will be reported.
3) The program has been designed to be flexible. As monitoring progresses, changes to compliance
procedures may be necessary based upon recommendations by those responsible for the
program. As changes are made, new monitoring compliance procedures and records will be
developed and incorporated into the program.
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program includes mitigation identified in the MND.
As discussed in the MND, the project includes construction and operation of a 393-unit residential
development and associated parking, drive aisles, fencing, landscaping, utilities, and site amenities
on approximately 30.99 gross acres (30.53 net acres) on Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 0228-
051-01, 0228-051-14 through -17, 0228-051-19 through -21, 0228-052-01, 0228-052-25 through -27,
0228-061-02 through -14, 0228-061-16 through -18, 0228-061-20 through -25, and 0228-331-05.
This is referred to as the “Residential Development Site.”
The project also includes the upzone of two parcels (APNs) 0194-391-20 and 0256-131-16) totaling
56.1 acres from Residential Planned Community (R-PC; 3.0-6.4 du/ac) to Multi Family Medium/High
Density Residential (R-4; 24.1-39 du/ac). These are referred to as the “Upzone Properties.” No
development action is proposed on the Upzone Properties at this time, nor is it known if or when
any such development would occur in the future.

Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program 2
The first column of the MMRP checklist (Mitigation Measure No./Implementing Action) identifies the
mitigation measure number followed by the measure’s applicability (i.e., Both sites [Residential
Development Site and Upzone Properties], Residential Development Site only, or Upzone Properties
only).
MITIGATION MONITORING AND RESPONSIBILITIES
As the Lead Agency, the City is responsible for ensuring full compliance with the mitigation measures
adopted for the proposed project. The City will monitor and report on all mitigation activities.
Mitigation measures will be implemented at different stages of development throughout the project
site. In this regard, the responsibilities for implementation have been assigned to the Applicant,
Contractor, or a combination thereof. If during the course of project implementation, any of the
mitigation measures identified herein cannot be successfully implemented, the City shall be
immediately informed, and the City will then inform any affected responsible agencies. The City, in
conjunction with any affected responsible agencies, will then determine if modification to the project
is required and/or whether alternative mitigation is appropriate.
STANDARD CONDITIONS
Standard Conditions are presented in instances where the proposed project would not create a
significant impact but would be required to adhere to regulatory requirements in order to ensure
impacts do not become significant. Standard Conditions outline compliance with various federal,
State, and/or local acts, laws, rules, regulations, municipal codes, etc.

and/or passive relocation.
If burrowing owls or suitable burrowing owl burrows
with sign (e.g., whitewash, pellets, feathers, prey
remains) are identified on the Residential Development
Site or Upzone Properties during the survey(s), these
features must be completely avoided. If impacts to
those features are unavoidable, then the project
Applicant(s) must develop a burrowing owl mitigation
plan in consultation with CDFW. Mitigation methods
may include passive relocation conducted outside of the
owl breeding season (between September 1 and
February 28). If an active owl burrow is identified, and
construction is to proceed, then a qualified biologist
(with two or more years of burrowing owl experience)
must establish an initial disturbance-limit buffer of 500
feet around the burrow using flagging or staking. The
buffer distance may be reduced in coordination with
CDFW depending on time of year (i.e., in or out of
breeding season), level of construction activity, and
observed behavior of the burrowing owls. Construction
activities shall not occur within any buffer zones until
the burrow is deemed inactive by the qualified biologist.

If the Crotch bumble bee is legally protected under the
California ESA as a Candidate or Listed species at the
time clearing of vegetation or grading are scheduled to
begin, and if vegetation clearing or initial grading is to
occur during the period of February-March (the queen
flight season) or April-August (the colony active period),
a preconstruction survey for Crotch bumble bee shall be
conducted in accordance with California Department of
Fish and Wildlife (CDFW’s) Survey Considerations for
California ESA Candidate Bumble Bee Species. The
survey shall be conducted prior to ground disturbance
and within the same queen flight season or colony active
period in which the ground disturbance is to occur. The
survey shall consist of a minimum of three survey visits,
each at least two weeks apart. The survey shall be
completed by a biologist who holds a Memorandum of
Understanding to capture and handle Crotch bumble
bee (if a netting and chilling protocol is to be utilized) or
by a CDFW-approved biologist experienced in
identifying native bumble bee species (if surveys are
restricted to visual surveys with photo documentation
for species verification).

conduct a bumble bee nesting survey in accordance with

the direction of the approved biologist in coordination
with CDFW based on behavior of the bees and their
ability to continue foraging, to reduce the risk of

bumble bee nest is detected, the biologist shall also

would be required. The nest avoidance buffer may be
removed at the completion of the colony active period
or once the biologist deems the nesting colony is no

that determination.
If no nest is found but the species is present, a full-time
biological monitor with the qualifications described
above or otherwise approved by CDFW shall be present

2. If trees with suitable bat roosting habitat are
scheduled for removal or relocation outside of
the maternity season, tree removal during the
weather parameters described above using
the two-step method shall be conducted:
i. Vegetation and trees within the area
that are not suitable for roosting
bats shall be removed first to
provide a disturbance that might
reduce the likelihood of bats using
the habitat.
ii. Two-step tree removal shall occur
over two consecutive days under
the supervision of a qualified bat
biologist. On Day 1, small branches
and small limbs containing no cavity,
crevice or exfoliating bark habitat on
habitat trees (or outer fronds in the
case of palm trees), as identified by
a qualified bat biologist are removed
first, using chainsaws only (i.e., no
dozers, backhoes). The following
day (Day 2), the remainder of the
tree is to be felled/removed. (The
intention of this method is to disturb
the tree with noise and vibration
and branch removal on Day 1. This
should cause any potentially
present day-roosting bats to
abandon the roost tree after they
emerge for nighttime foraging.
