City clerk, did we receive any correspondence on this item?

No, Chair. We received none.

Okay. Alejandro Rico, Associate Planner, will provide the staff's presentation.

Hi. Good evening. This project is two CUPs and administrative site plan. The CUP 20 one-twenty '1 and CUP 20 one-twenty five and administrative ASP 20 one-fifty seven. The applicant is Jose Carcelan on behalf of GVT Trucking.

The conditional use permit twenty one twenty one is for the sale of trucks on the from the site. The second CUP, CUP twenty one twenty five is for ancillary truck repair for the trucks being sold. And the administrative side plan is to construct 29,185 square foot truck repair consisting of six service bays and office space that's included. Property owners within 660 feet of the site were noticed and staff received no comment. And here's a street view looking north from Boyle Avenue.

Currently, there are two legal non conforming homes existing on the site. And here's a site plan. There'll be driveway access via Boyle Avenue. As you can see, the building is located on the northerly portion of the parcel right on the property line as allowed by the Southwest Industrial Park specific plan. And you can see the truck bays, a part of that site on the western portion of the building and the central area will be the display area and there's parking a good amount of parking throughout the site.

And here are the elevations looking north and south. So the north portion will be facing the freeway and the southern portion will be facing Boyle Avenue. And here on the east and west elevations. Here's a rendering of what will be seen from the freeway. As you can see, the top portion has a heavy glazing element to it. So there's a bit of a modern modern twist to it. A lot of articulation with thick window framing, a variety of colors. You can see that brown bronze accent color and a darker kind of silver accent color as well. This is what the rendering looks like from the interior portion of the site. And here's a nighttime rendering as well.

Based on the information contained in the staff report resolution and subject to the attached findings and conditions of approval, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a Reso twenty twenty six dash That was zero one four.

Zero one four.

Determine that the project is categorically exempt pursuant to section fifteen three three two class 32 infill exception. Guidelines implementing the CEQUA and direct staff to file a notice of exemption, approve CUP 20 one-twenty one, approve CUP 20 one-twenty five and approve administrative site plan 20 one-fifty seven. Staff is here and the applicant has their team here to address any questions.

Okay. Thank you very much, Alejandro. Does the commission have any questions they would like to ask staff?

Good evening, mister mister Rico.

Good evening.

So question for me in regards to the sales truck sales. Are they doing any type of mechanical repairs at all or it's simply any maintenance work or anything like that or simply truck sales? Sales?

So the second CUP is for trucks repairs. So it's two conditional use permits.

And when you say repairs, are you consisting of repairs like mechanical repairs? Yes. Collision repairs? Correct. Mechanical, not collision or paint work or anything like that? Correct. Okay.

Thank you. Any other questions? Alright. Well, if that's if that's all, would the applicant please step up to the podium and, state your name and whether you accept the conditions of approval.

Good evening, commissioners. Jose Carcelain. Yes. I've read the conditions. I do accept them.

Okay. Thank you very much. And does the commission have any questions for the applicant? Alright. With no questions, would you like to tell us a little bit about your project?

Yeah. Absolutely. It's yeah, truck sales, repair. It's includes the incidental repairs and the heavy repair. It's a family business. We repair big fleets, and this will be our home. We currently have a location on the, what is it, West Side Of Cherry, but, you know, we found this better suited for what we do.

Alright. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Alright. With no other questions, this public hearing is now closed. There any further discussion by the commission or may I have a motion?

And just for the record, chair, there there are no requests to speak on this item.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Sorry. And I will make a motion, chair. I'll make a motion to approve master case number 21Dash0128.

Alright. Motion by commissioner Sanchez. Can I get a second?

I'll second that motion.

Second by vice chair Quintana. Place your votes.

All in favor, motion passes.

Alright. The next item is public hearing item B. I will open the public hearing for master case number 20R3, tentative parcel map number 20761. TPM number 22Dash000033DashR2. Minor use permit number 25Dash0006 and design review number 22Dash00005DashR2.

A request for site and architectural approval for a proposed revision to previously approved commercial center. Revisions include the reconfigurations of the site from five parcels to four parcels and the relocation of the car wash building vacuums and canopies to the northwest portion of the site pursuant to the previous approval mitigated negative declaration for the Midland Plaza project in accordance with CEQA guidelines, CEQA section fifteen one six two through fifteen one six four e t s e q. City clerk, did we receive any written correspondence on this item?

No, chair. We received none.

Okay. Well, Sealy Sessions Goins, associated planner will provide the staff presentation.

Good evening, commissioners, staff, members of the public. I'm Cecily Sessions Goins and I'll be providing the staff report for you tonight. The applicant is the core states group and they are requesting a modification to a previously approved tentative map in order to reconfigure five existing parcels into four, as well as a new minor use permit in order to operate a automatic car wash on the subject site and a revision to the design review that was previously approved for the retail center. The project site is located on the southwest corner of Sierra Avenue and Baseline Avenue. It's also bound to the south by Montgomery Avenue.

The site itself is vacant and undeveloped, relatively flat in topography. It does slope just slightly from north to south. The parcels, the site, are all zoned C2, which is general commercial. So you can see photos of the site. There aren't any structures or anything that need to be demolished in order for this project to move forward.

So this is the overall site plan on the left hand side of the project. It was previously approved in 2023 to include a automobile fueling station with a convenience store and quick service restaurant and retail all in one building as well as a retail drugstore, a restaurant, and then another retail and office building. And then it was later entitled to also have the car wash on a different part of the site. So the applicant is coming back to revise the site plan to still include that gas station in the same location as was previously approved in the northeast portion of the site. They're also looking to still have the car wash, as you can see on the site plan.

However, it will be located closer to Baseline Avenue as opposed to previously where it was located kind of in the southwestern portion of the site. As you can see on the enlarged site plan on the right, there are access points from Baseline Avenue as well as Sierra and then also on the larger site plan, one access point from Montgomery Avenue. The automatic car wash will be accessed through queuing lanes that you typically see for this type of use and will also include vacuum spaces with canopies over them. And then I'll get into the architecture just on the next slide. So these are the elevations for the convenience store, quick service restaurant, retail, and then the fueling canopy.

The chosen architectural style is modern, and it is the same style that was previously approved by the commission back in 2023. The gas station canopy and the convenience store building will remain largely the same. So there are black accents as well as wood look tile, flat roofs, as well as tower elements, and a good amount of glazing to really exemplify the architectural style. And then the car wash building is very similar, using a lot of the same elements while still giving the buildings their own identity. You can see that they're kind of intended to go together.

So you see a lot of those same elements such as the black accents, the wood look tile, the flat roofs, and the tower elements as well. So you will notice that the buildings do complement each other. Here's a three d rendering from Baseline Avenue looking towards the Southeast. So, you can see, the convenience store building and the, car wash or excuse me, the gas station canopy. There will be, berming along the street frontages with landscaping that will create visual interest while also kind of softening the look of the building.

And there also will be enhanced landscaping adjacent to the car wash tunnel as to kind of improve aesthetics for that as well. And then the next rendering is for, excuse me, at the corner of Baseline And Sierra looking towards the Southwest. So this is what you'll see driving south on Sierra Avenue. As you can see, the berming with the landscaping which does a good job at screening the drive through that will go between the berm and the convenience store building. So that will be screened and won't have visual impact from the drive through.

And this is an overall view of the site. This will be phase one of the development of the site. The applicant is proposing to phase the development as opposed to doing it all at one time. And the project is conditioned to have the soil stabilized and fencing put, short split rail fencing put around the vacant parcels. When those parcels are proposed to be developed, they'll still have to go through the review process and the entitlement process.

So it will go through a similar process to what we're doing here tonight, just to let you know that there will be additional review in the future. I did wanna point out there is a new or revised resolution in front of you so there are a couple of things I just wanted to point out. On page seven of 34, we added, staff is requesting to add a little bit of language to section six which is about the approvals just to make it clear that the approval of the modified entitlements will put this new project, the new approval to make it in place and the previous approvals will no longer be in place, just to make that very clear. We also are modifying a condition on page 23 of 34, which is a planning condition. Just to clarify that utility rooms and enclosures will need to be designed of just durable materials with finishes and colors that are compatible with the building as opposed to transformers.

That was a typo. And then the last thing is on page 25 of 34. It's just a clarification of the required fire flow, and this has been approved, the modification has been approved by the fire department. So with all of that said, based on the information the staff reports subject to the, findings and conditions of approval that you see before you today, staff recommends that the planning commission adopt resolution PC number 2026Dash015. And find that, this project was reviewed or contemplated under the previous mitigated negative declaration that was done for the original Midland Plaza project.

And that document and studies adequately identified that there will be no impacts associated with the project that cannot be mitigated and no previously reviewed impact areas have substantially changed and direct staff to file a notice of determination and adopt the resolution approving the tentative parcel map revision, the minor use permit, and the design review revision. That does conclude my presentation, and staff and the applicant are available for any questions that you may have.

Thank you, Cecily. Does the commission have any questions they would like to ask staff?

I do, chair.

Go ahead, vice chair Quintana.

So thank you for that presentation. You're going a little fast for me. Sorry. That last change in the resolution on page 25, what was it?

Okay. So on page 25, it is condition number 33. You'll see a strikeout of both the, required fire flow from 2,000 to 1,500 as well as the distance the spacing of the hydrants, from 300 to 312. So, it's just to clarify that, and the fire department was in agreement with the change that the applicant requested.

Okay. Thank you. Just so I can note that. I appreciate it. Sorry. One more question. Was there a night rendering provided?

You know, I don't believe I had a night rendering. Did you have any questions about lighting or anything like that that I couldn't make Well,

I I just think it would have, it it helps with our determination, right, of this project just to make sure that, you know, area is secure. Lighting goes a long way, especially I see that that tower. It's it's a nice tower. That thing was was well lit. It really really brings some, focus to to that area. So just wanted to ask if if that was provided

or not.

Absolutely. And that, I think, was an oversight on my part. The light the site will be well lit, with site lighting throughout the the development and the parking areas, and then there will be lighting on the both of the buildings as well as for the canopy as well. I

think Perfect.

That should help, but, I will note that for the future.

Alright. Appreciate it. Thank you.

Any other questions from commission? Yes. Commissioner Sanchez.

So touch base on that, the lighting the lighting question. So in regards to that tower, I saw that it had had windows up on top. Is that gonna be illuminated from the inside out, like, to exemplify the lighting? I mean, the windows, or is it gonna have some down lighting from the top, gables, or up lighting?

I do believe it's from the inside out, but I'll have the, applicant confirm.

Yeah. Because it's a very nice piece. I think, you know, it'll look real good when you're driving by there in the corner. Such a busy corner. Yes. Since we're trying to we're trying to hide the car wash a little bit, I think it would take away the focus from the car wash if we put some emphasis on that. Maybe the maybe the developer would would be inclined to talk a little bit about that with us about maybe doing something to that corner.

Absolutely.

Great. Thank you, Sicily. Alright, Cecily. Is the applicant here?

Yes. The applicant is here.

Will the applicant please step to the podium and state your name and whether you accept the conditions of approval?

My name is Daniel Golen. I'm the architect for the project, and I do we do accept the conditions of approval.

Okay, Daniel. You want to tell us a little bit about the project?

Well, just as Cecily stated, you know, we we changed the project. It was primarily due to market conditions, not favoring pharmacy development at this time. And so, without a tenant in that location, we had to revise the project to leave as much land as we could to the south in case another developer wanted to come in or if we found another way to develop it. Some of our initial plans were to do a mixed use, but we're going to wait and see what the market conditions are once we have this one built and how well it's doing.

Okay. And are there any questions on commission for the applicant? Commissioner Sanchez?

Good evening, sir. How are doing? So I I I heard you heard you probably heard some of our dialogue in regards to that corner tower. Would you be opposed to maybe doing some some emphasis on that tower to make it stand out a little bit more?

Yeah. So, to the question of whether it'll be illuminated, will the windows of will be illuminated?

They will? Mhmm. Okay. Great. That that that makes me feel happier. Thank you, sir.

Alright. Commissioner Quito?

Yeah. I was just curious. Obviously, we're talking about market conditions. The project was approved in 2023. What is the anticipated, break ground time frame on this now, assuming that

this Oh,

we'd love it tomorrow, but that's not it. We're we're hoping to get it built this year.

Great. Thank you. Alright. There's no more questions from the commission. City clerk, are there any request to speak on this item?

There are no requests to speak, chair.

Okay.

Well, we may have one. Let's see. Ma'am, would you like to speak on this item? Yes? Okay, if you can go to the back of the podium.

Good evening. My name is Ingrid. I have a question regards to the car wash. They're going to revise to the North West part of the is that the baseline East West Northwest facing the baseline? Yes.

Can we call the podium?

Legal is So you're you're asking if the bay exit is facing baseline?

The car wash, base. Yes.

Yeah. The bay is facing baseline. Yes.

And on the North West Corner?

It is on the North West Corner, yes.

So ma'am, do you have a public comment? Do you need do you want to comment on the item?

I have a question. Do they have a distant on the because I own the property right next to it. It's a residential lot for me. We are putting input on the residential lot right next to the car wash now. So I want to know what kind of distance do they have, the setback distance and do they have the wall to block the noisy? And also the lights, especially Mr. Sanchez mentioned about the lighting. Is the lighting is too bright? I mean, or is that focused on the street or focused on it? Can I would you provide a little bit more information?

So you just have concerns with respect to the lighting in the the wall, was it?

And the setback, the lighting, and if they have the wall to block the noise of the car wash.

Alright. Patty, can we get one of the staff to address her concerns and speak with her?

Cecily has the information.

Okay. Yeah. We'll have one of our staff get with you, okay, and give you any more information you need.

So so is this hearing is the the final decision or do I is there anything that do we have a say or are they have a concern of that?

Yes, staff will address your concerns and let you know moving forward what other actions you can take.

Okay, great.

Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions from the public? Or any other

No, Chair. That was our last speaker.

Okay, last speaker. Alright, so This public hearing will now be closed. Is there any further discussion by the commission or may I have a motion?

I'll make a motion to approve master case 22Dash000011DashR3.

Alright. We have a motion by commissioner king I'm sorry, vice chair Quintana. Can I get a second?

Second.

Second by secretary Lozano. Let's place our votes.

All in favor? Motion passes.

Okay. The next item is a public hearing item c and it will be opened. I will be opening the public hearing for master case number 20 6 dash zero 011 and municipal code amendment number 26 Dash zero zero two, Fontana municipal code amendment to chapter 30 to modify standards for outdoor dining and parking standards in the downtown core, make the revision to the no net loss program adding definition to differentiate vehicle parking from storage, clarifying timing and entitlement applications, and modifying the definition of accessory land use pursuant to the category exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act, CEQUA, in accordance with CEQUA guidelines section five excuse me, one five zero six zero c, one five three seven eight, and one five zero six one b three. City clerk, do we receive any written correspondence on this item?

No, chair. No correspondence was received.

Okay. Thank you very much. Cecily Sessions Goines will our associated planner will provide the staff presentation. Got it right this time.

Good evening. I'm going to provide the staff report on our requested municipal code amendment. Just to jump right into the details of the proposed amendment, there are a couple for the downtown core area. The first one being, a modification to standards for outdoor dining utilizing the public right of way for restaurants and coffee shops and food service. So things like the minimum pedestrian path width will be widened from what it is in the code today to from four feet to five feet, as well as other design standards for the outdoor dining facilities, and then permit requirements.

So we're looking to clarify the permit requirements both coming from planning and then also engineering by way of like an encroachment permit. Also, for the downtown core, we're eliminating parking requirements for retail, entertainment, and restaurant uses in the downtown core that are within 400 feet of a city owned public parking lot or structure. Obviously, we have our current structure that has been built. There's another one in the works, and then there are several parking lots throughout that are city owned. So it's allowing the customers of the retail, entertainment, and restaurant uses to utilize those as the form of parking for those uses as opposed to providing parking on-site.

Additionally, we are adding definitions of vehicle parking and vehicle storage in order to differentiate between the two uses. It comes up quite a bit in the work that we do and communicating with the public and business owners and also just classifying what a land use is when it's related to vehicles. So we're adding definitions so it'd be easier to differentiate. The storage being for overnight parking, basically, and then vehicle parking is just during the day. We also are modifying the application timing section, so not necessarily the number of days that an application must be deemed complete, which is the one hundred and eighty days, and that's in the code today.

But, the code also includes language about inactivity, of an application. So we wanted to remove that in order to keep applications moving. Of course, this comes, with the caveat that the director of planning can make exceptions to that, especially for larger projects or projects involving a larger environmental document like an EIR, which typically are not done within a hundred and eighty days. Next, we have modification to the definitions of accessory and principal land uses in order to provide objective proportions of site and floor area. So this is also something that comes up pretty regularly where we're trying classify land uses for business purposes, and it will help to have a number to put on what constitutes an accessory use in a principal land use.

And then last but not least, we have the adjustments to the no net loss program. You may be aware that that program is in our zoning and development code, and it's utilized when residential density is reduced on properties. And it allows those units that are being kind of lost, if you will, the capacity for those units to be banked and the units in the bank to be used by residential developers to add units to their projects. So as far as adjustments go, we're looking to reduce the maximum number of units to be included in the bank, and also replacing the required agreement that's in the code today with a memorandum for the use of the units coming out of the bank. And then we're also proposing to kind of provide some flexibility in order to incentivize the use of the units in the bank because ideally, that is how that would take place.

So those changes are to the minimum site size of a project, the allowable zoning districts where units can be used, and also proportional reductions of certain development standards to make it so that these units it's physically possible for these units to be used in projects. Usually, if units are gonna be, added to a project, it's a maximum of 20% of an increase in allowable density. So, those are the amendments that we're proposing. And based on the information in the staff report, staff recommends that the planning commission adopt resolution number p c twenty twenty six dash.

Zero one six.

And determine that the ordinance is excuse me. Approve a resolution recommending that the city council adopt an ordinance for this municipal code amendment to amend chapter 30 and also determine that the ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA. That does conclude my presentation. I'm staff and the applicant, so I can answer your questions. Thank you.

Does the commission have any questions they would like to ask staff? No. Secretary Luzon?

Thank you for the presentation. I had a question. What are the parking requirements that are being removed? So in the code today, there are parking requirements dependent on the size of the the commercial use, like the square footage, And so it ties back to the zoning and development code. It's 50% of the zoning and development code requirement. This will allow anything that's within 400 feet of one of the parking lots to allow that business's parking requirement essentially to be fulfilled by city parking facilities. Thank you.

Any other questions for Steph?

So just just to clarify on that, or get some clarification. So it's not that they're losing parking, they're just gonna be utilizing parking that's close to their their business?

Yes. So they would be, able to customers or patrons would be able to utilize those parking facilities, the parking structure, the parking surface parking lots, to go to those businesses. And the goal is to have them use city owned parking facilities, come to the downtown, enjoy, go to multiple places. It also helps to maximize the amount of development that can take place in the downtown because those types of uses, which we're really trying to encourage the entertainment, the restaurant, and the retail, they don't have to accommodate that parking on their site. So it helps to be able to improve the the development.

Alright. Makes sense. Thank you.

And I just have one comment. I'm excited to see that we're moving in that direction because it allows, you know, more infrastructure to be built in a smaller area so that it creates more entertainment opportunities for our constituents. Thank you very much. So with that being said, other comments by commission. This public hearing is now closed.

And chair, just for the record, there are no requests to speak.

Are there any questions on this side?

Sorry. I

knew that. Alright. So is there any further discussions by commission or may I have a motion?

Motion to approve master case number twenty six eleven.

Alright. Motion by commissioner. Can I get a second?

Second.

And I got a second by secretary Lozano. Please place your votes.

All in favor, motion passes.

All right. So our next item is public hearing item D. I will open the public hearing for master case number 20, development agreement number 20-eighty5R1 and development agreement number 205R2, a request to amend and reinstate a previously approved development agreement for the Citrus Oleander Industrial Commercial Center project to allocate the provisions of the public benefit fee among properties in the manner consistent with the Planning Commission resolution number 2025Dash040. City clerk, do we have any written correspondence on this item?

None were received, chair.

Okay. And Ditania?

Ditania. Yes.

Ditania Johnson, planning manager will provide the staff presentation. I'm gonna get these names right at some point.

There we go. Yes. Good evening, chair Arpinjaris, members of the planning commission. I'm Daitanya Johnson, the planning manager. Before you have a proposed amended and reinstated development agreement, AGR 2385 r one and r two.

So I have a few slides to kinda detail the proposed changes. The applicant is Acacia Real Estate and Palisades North Palisades. So you'll see, hear those referenced throughout the presentation. Just to give you a little background, the original project was approved by the city council on 11/15/2023 and included a general plan amendment, a zone zoning district map amendment, a specific plan amendment, and three tenant parcel maps, three design reviews for the three sites, which included three warehouses, and one development agreement. At the time of the approval, all three sites were controlled by one single applicant.

Fast forward to current time, there's now three project sites still, but we have two applicants. So Project Site 1 And 2 are now controlled by North Palisade Partners and Project Site 3 remains under the control of the original applicant, which is Acacia, but it excludes four of the original parcels. Most recently, you may remember Salvador Cantino. He was the planner on this On 10/21/2025, the Planning Commission considered and approved a revision to Doctor number 2262 to the previously approved design review for Product Site 3 to reduce the size of the Industrial Commerce Center Commerce Center Building going from 193,462 square feet to 83,632 square feet. Also, it reduced the size of the property for from 8.7 acres to 4.6 acres.

Just to give you a little bit of the highlights on the proposed amended and reinstated development agreement, I have some bullet points for you. They will identify new ownerships associated with the property owners for both development agreements. It also updates the public benefit fee amounts allocated to each project site based on the adjusted square footage of the industrial commerce center buildings associated with both project. And then also it clarifies the timing associated with the recordation, the execution, effective date of the development agreements and payment of the public benefit fees. Based on the information, the staff report, staff recommends that the planning commission adopt resolution number PC2026Dash017.

017, and forward a recommendation to the city council, to approve the, the project, as stated in the staff report. And that concludes my presentation.

Alright. Does the commission have any questions they would like to ask staff? Okay. If there are no questions, is the applicant here?

Yes. They both are.

Alright. And then would the applicant please step to the podium and will the applicant state their names and state whether you accept the conditions of approval?

Good evening, commissioner and, chair. Yes. We're agreeable to all the terms in the development agreement. And I'm sorry. I didn't I don't think I pronounced my name, but I'm Jonathan Charlo, and I'm on behalf of, both applicants, North Palisade Partners and Acacia. And there's a representative from North Palisade Partners here as well, a direct representative. Thank you.

Alright. And would you like to tell us little bit about your project?

Yeah. So the the project, as Ditanian indicated, was a single project, that was bisected by Oleander. There's now two developers, Acacia and North Palisades. The North Palisades portion, is West Of Oleander. It's about a 400,000 square foot single industrial warehouse. And then the approved project on the East Of Oleander is about a 88,000 square foot industrial warehouse. And we think it's a good benefit to the area. It's industrial in nature, and it provides a significant amount of infrastructure around the site.

Okay. Thank you. Are there any questions from the commission for the applicant? Alright. No questions. City clerk, are there any questions to speak on this item?

Are no requests to speak.

Okay. Alright. This public hearing is now closed. Is there any further discussion by the commission or may I have a motion?

Motion to approve master case number 23Dash0100.

All in favor? Motion passes.

All right. Next we have the amazing Director of Communications. I'm always excited to hear what she has to say. Are there any communications?

You're making it difficult. No. Thank you, chair. Alright.

So moving forward to commission comments. Let's start off with commissioner Sanchez.

Well, it's exciting to see some of the these plans that were about two or three years ago coming finally coming forward. And, I'm excited to see what's going on in downtown downtown Fontana. Can't wait to have a little bit of nightlife and something else to do besides going to the neighboring cities. But it's, like always, it's a pleasure to work with the city and as a planning commissioner, and and I appreciate everything the staff does for us. And I'd like to say good night, and God bless everybody.

Alright. Thank you, commissioner Sanchez. Commissioner Kiedel?

Just like to thank the city staff, for always providing all the information and and making our life easy up here. Appreciate director Nevins and your staff. You guys are great. I'd like to thank the city council for the opportunity to serve on the commission. And with LA sports teams in playoff mode, go kings go.

All right, Secretary Lozano.

Thank you, Chair. I just want to say thank you to the planning staff and for their presentations today. I'm excited about the projects that came across our desk today. Also, you to City Council for giving us opportunity to sit in this chair and vote on these awesome projects. And everyone have a great evening.

All right. Thank you very much, Secretary Lozano and Vice Chair Quintana.

In case anyone hasn't said it, thank you to staff for all the presentations and the reports. I always appreciate it as always. I'm excited just like, commissioner Sanchez stated. I think we're, like, one step closer to their revitalization of downtown, which is very exciting. And lastly, it's always a privilege to serve on this commission, and I appreciate, the opportunity. Thank you.

Alright. And I just wanna apologize to all of our planners for butchering names. I will get them better at some point. But, yes, I'm excited to see what we're doing in downtown, and I'm excited to see that our our city is open for business and we're moving forward with allowing businesses to thrive in Fontana. So thank you guys for the hard work that you guys are doing to ensure that we make it easy and as tantalizing as possible for more businesses and entertainment districts to join our beautiful city.
