Zoning and land use in the City of Fontana are governed by the Zoning and Development Code, which is Chapter 30 of the Fontana Municipal Code. The code is published online through the city's Municode Library and covers zoning districts, permitted uses, development standards, and the review procedures administered by the Community Development Department's Planning Division. For property-specific questions, the city directs residents to the Planning Department at (909) 350-6718 or planning@fontanaca.gov.

Fontana's Zoning and Development Code (Chapter 30) organizes the city into base zoning districts including residential districts (Article V), commercial and mixed-use districts (Article VI), and industrial districts, along with a Form-Based Code (Article III) adopted for the downtown area and key corridors. The city also publishes a General Plan Land Use Map, a Zoning District Map, and Form-Based Code district maps. To confirm a specific property's designation, the city recommends contacting the Planning Department directly.

The Fontana Planning Commission reviews development applications and proposals and makes recommendations to the City Council on the General Plan, zoning ordinances, annexations, and changes to the Development Code. It acts on matters such as conditional use permits, design reviews, subdivisions, variances, and alcoholic beverage control requests. The Commission is made up of five Fontana residents appointed by the City Council to one-year terms, and it meets at 6:00 p.m. on the first and third Tuesday of every month at the Steelworkers' Auditorium, 8437 Sierra Avenue, Fontana, CA 92335.

The City of Fontana provides a Zoning and General Plan Land Use Designation Interactive Map through ArcGIS, which the city notes is for reference only and subject to change, as well as downloadable PDF versions of the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning District Map. Because online maps are for reference, the city recommends contacting the Planning Department to determine the official zoning of a specific parcel, by phone at (909) 350-6718 or email at planning@fontanaca.gov.

Under Fontana's Form-Based Code (Article III of Chapter 30), uses indicated with a 'P' are permitted by right, subject to design review by the Planning Commission or administrative site plan review by the Director of Community Development. Other uses may require a conditional use permit or minor use permit, which the Planning Commission and Community Development Department administer through the review procedures in the Zoning and Development Code.
