The City’s land use plans and policies seek to create distinctive and high-quality places. Such places add value and thereby attract additional investment. The City of Ontario focuses on creating a range of places where people want to live, work and where they want to experience. This section establishes policies that acknowledge the value of place in the decision-making process. (Link to Community Design Element)
