Fontana turns down industrial project

Fontana has said no to a proposed three-building industrial project next to Jurupa Hills High School.

The city council on July 25 voted 3-2 against changing the zoning designation of the project’s proposed 24-acre site from residential to industrial.

Had it been approved, Acacia Real Estate Group in Newport Beach would have developed the buildings on the north side of Santa Ana Avenue, between Citrus and Oleander avenues, according to a staff report.

Collectively, the buildings would have covered about 541,000 square feet. The project gear generated some public opposition because of environmental concerns and because it is so close to a high school.

Council members did not comment on their votes.
