Fontana allows adults 21 and older to grow up to 6 cannabis plants indoors per residence under Proposition 64. Outdoor cultivation is prohibited and indoor grows must meet city safety rules.
Under California Proposition 64 and Health and Safety Code 11362.2, adults 21 and older may cultivate up to six cannabis plants per private residence for personal use. Fontana complies with this minimum and allows indoor cultivation in a locked, enclosed space within a private residence or fully enclosed accessory structure such as a garage or greenhouse. Outdoor cultivation visible from any public place is expressly prohibited by city ordinance, and the city uses its local zoning authority to require indoor grows to comply with electrical, mechanical, and building codes. Growers must not create odors, mold, or excessive humidity that damage neighboring property, and plants must be inaccessible to minors. Commercial cultivation is prohibited in Fontana outside of any zones that may be opened for licensed operators. Unauthorized commercial grows and any cultivation that poses safety hazards may trigger code enforcement, police response, and abatement.
