Residents are encouraged to check their immunization records and contact healthcare providers if they experience symptoms such as fever, cough or rash. Schools and community centers are also reviewing health protocols as a precaution.

Planning Commission Moves to Align ADU Rules

The Fontana Planning Commission has taken steps to update the city’s accessory dwelling unit regulations to better match current state housing laws. The proposed changes aim to streamline approvals and ensure local standards comply with Sacramento’s mandates.

City leaders say aligning the rules could help expand housing options while reducing confusion for homeowners looking to add backyard units or garage conversions. The updates are expected to head to the City Council for further consideration.

Three-Vehicle Crash Slows I-15 Traffic
