PUBLIC HEARING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 94-02
CHANGE LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM OIP, OFFICE INDUSTRIAL
PARK, TO CG-1, COMMERCIAL GENERAL - NORTH SIDE OF MILL
STREET APPROXIMATELY 175 FEET EAST OF WATERMAN AVENUE
(38)
This is the time and place set for a public hearing to
consider General Plan Amendment No. 94-02, to change the land use
designation from OIP, Office Industrial Park, to CG-1, Commercial
General, on a parcel located northeast of Mill Street and Waterman
Avenue.
In a memorandum dated September 1, 1994, Al Boughey, Director
of Planning and Building Services, stated that General Plan
Amendment No, 94-02 would change the general plan land use
designation from OIP, Office Industrial Park, to CG-1, Commercial
General, or IL, Industrial Light; or retain the current OIP, Office
Industrial Park, designation on a vacant 8.8 acre site located on
the north side of Mill Street, approximately 175 feet east of the
intersection of Waterman Avenue and Mill Street. The site has a
625 - foot frontage on Mill Street and consists of two lots. The
north lot does not have direct access to a public right-of-way.
The site adjoins those properties designated CG-1, Commercial
General, by General Plan Amendment No. 93-04.
The Mayor and Common Council approved General Plan Amendment
No. 93-04 on May 7, 1994, which changed the land use designation
from Office Industrial Park to Commercial General for properties on
all corners of the Mill Street and Waterman Avenue intersection.
This 8.8 acre site was considered, but excluded from General Plan
Amendment No. 93-04, as it would create a large section of property
designated Commercial General. Pursuant to a request from the
property owners of the subject site, the Mayor and Common Council
directed Planning staff to prepare a general plan amendment to
consider alternative land use designations.
Staff evaluated two alternatives: Alternative One proposes
designating the site Commercial General, as the land adjoining the
site on the west side is already Commercial General. The addition
of the 8.8 acres creates a large commercial area of 21.5 acres at
the Waterman Avenue and Mill Street intersection, and the
conversion of Norton Air Force Base to civilian use would support
commercial use in this area.
14
9/19/94
Alternative Two proposes designating the site Industrial Light
because of the presence of existing Industrial Light designated
land to the east of the site.
The site is currently designated Office Industrial Park, but
no longer has access to Waterman Avenue. It is isolated from other
Office Industrial Park designated land along the Waterman Avenue
corridor because the only access is from Mill Street, Leaving the
site designated Office Industrial Park is not a practical option
since it does not fit the General Plan description of the Office
Industrial Park designation.
An Initial Study was reviewed by the Environmental Review
Committee on May 12, 1994. The Environmental Review Committee
recommended a negative declaration, The Planning Commission
reviewed General Plan Amendment No. 94-02 on August 2, 1994, and
recommended adoption of the proposed negative declaration and
approval of General Plan Amendment No. 94-02 to change the land use
designation from Office Industrial Park to Commercial General.

PUBLIC HEARING - DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT NO. 94-06 -
REVISE DATE REFERENCED FOR FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY &
ACCOMPANYING MAPS FROM JANUARY 1979 TO RECENT REVISIONS
(39)
This is the time and place set for a public hearing to
consider Development Code Amendment No. 94-06 to revise the date
referenced for the Flood Insurance Study and accompanying Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM's) for the City of San Bernardino from
January 1979, to the most recent revisions.
15
9/19/94
In a memorandum dated September 19, 1994, Al Boughey, Director
of Planning and Building Services, stated that the Development Code
incorporates the Flood Insurance Study for the City of San
Bernardino and the accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM's)
dated January 1979 by reference. Development Code Section
19.16.030(2) currently refers to Flood Insurance Rate Maps dated
January 1979, and is inconsistent with the most recent revisions as
issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) , dated
February 2, 1994. In order to maintain compliance with Federal
Emergency Management Agency regulations, the City is required to
reference the most recent Flood Insurance Rate Maps in documents
relating to flood hazard management. Development Code Amendment
No. 94-06 would revise the date of the referenced documents to
reflect the most recent revisions which are dated February 2, 1994.
Chapter 15.72 of the Municipal Code, Flood Control Measures, is
being revised concurrently. The proposal to revise the date
referenced for the Flood Insurance Study for the City of San
Bernardino is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act, as
it would not impact the environment. At its meeting of August 2,
1994, the Planning Commission recommended approval of Development
Code Amendment No. 94-06 and adoption of the ordinance.
Mayor Minor opened the hearing.
Jeff Wright, P.O. Box 2341, San Bernardino, CA expressed
concern regarding the impact this change would have on flood plain
areas, and asked if it would raise insurance rates,

9/19/94
This is the time and place set for a public hearing to
consider Development Code Amendment No. 93-15, to permit the
upgrade of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Licenses under certain
conditions in the CN, Commercial Neighborhood, land use district;
and reconsideration of Conditional Use Permit No. 93-01, to permit
an upgrade to sell liquor at an existing convenience store located
at 484 South Rancho Avenue.
In a memorandum dated September 8, 1994, Al Boughey, Director
of Planning and Building Services, stated that Development Code
Amendment No. 93-15 would permit a legally existing nonconforming
convenience store in the Commercial Neighborhood land use district
to upgrade from beer and wine to liquor sales. This will
potentially affect six Commercial Neighborhood locations within the
City. Additionally, reconsideration of the previous Mayor and
Common Council denial of Conditional Use Permit No. 93-01 would
upgrade the ABC license at an existing nonconforming convenience
store located at 484 S. Rancho Avenue to include liquor sales.
Ali Yassin applied for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 93-01
on January 14, 1993. Subsequently, CUP 93-01 was denied upon
appeal by the Mayor and Common Council on September 9, 1993.
However, at the request of the Mayor and Common Council, the City
Attorney's office met with the applicant, and based on a letter
from Henry Empeno, Deputy City Attorney, the Mayor and Common
Council directed Planning staff to advise Mr. Yassin to submit a
Development Code Amendment (DCA) application. The application, DCA
93-15, was submitted on December 23, 1993, Subsequently, the
Development Review Committee recommended approval and proposed a
negative declaration on May 5, 1994. The project was heard by the
Planning Commission on July 5, 1994. Following considerable
discussion, the Planning Commission recommended denial of the
project.
Conditional Use Permit No. 93-01 was denied based on
Development Code Section 19.06.030 (2) (B) which states that an
establishment".. . shall not be located within.. .100 feet of any
property designated for residential purposes. . ." and ".. . shall not
be located in such close proximity to another similar use to cause
oversaturation.. .".
The proposal is to amend Development Code Section 19,20.030
(2) (B) as follows: A legally existing, nonconforming, convenience
store, possessing an ABC license for the sale of beer and wine in
a Commercial Neighborhood land use designation may upgrade to the
sale of liquor, subject to an ABC license and subject to approval
of a conditional use permit, even if the site is within 100 feet of
residential property, providing that the following conditions are
met: That the application is for the expansion of an existing
legal nonconforming use; that the site is within 100 feet of an
existing business establishment with the same use which is located
outside the City of San Bernardino; and that the applicant submits
17
9/19/94
a written statement of non-opposition to the application for the
CUP which is signed by all property owners and tenants in the City
of San Bernardino parcels within a radius of 100 feet as measured
from property line to property line.
The Environmental Review Committee reviewed the initial study
for the Development Code Amendment and recommended a negative
declaration. The initial study was made available for public
review and comment; no comments were received, and the project was
cleared to the Planning Commission on June 9, 1994.
The Planning staff recommends that the Mayor and Common
Council adopt the negative declaration, adopt the ordinance that
approves Development Code Amendment No. 93-15, and approve
Conditional Use Permit No. 93-01, subject to the conditions of
approval.

PUBLIC HEARING - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (R6)
This is the time and place set for a public hearing on the
utilization of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
In a memorandum dated September 14, 1994, Kenneth Henderson,
Executive Director, Development Department, Economic Development
Agency, requested that Mayor and Council approve the cancellation
of certain Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects and
the reprogramming of surplus funds into new CDBG projects
recommended by the Community Development Citizens Advisory
Committee. The total of recommended capital improvement projects
to be canceled is $520,635. Within the CDBG budget a shortfall of
$301,720 has been identified, which is attributed to overruns on
several Parks, Recreation and Community Services projects. After
the necessary funds are applied to the budget shortfall from the
$520,635, the remaining $218,915 is available for reprogramming,
The total public service projects recommended for cancellation
is $86,993. There is no budget shortfall within the CDBG public
service budget; therefore, the entire amount of $86,993 could be
reprogrammed into other public service programs.
Mayor Minor opened the hearing.
Stafford Parker, Deputy Director, Development Division,
Economic Development Agency, gave a brief overview of projects
having no substantial activity, those with surplus funding,
proposed capital improvement projects, and projects not recommended
for funding; and answered questions regarding these
recommendations.

REORGANIZE POSITIONS PUBLIC WORKS/ENGINEERING
DEPARTMENT & PARKS, RECREATION & COMMUNITY SERVICES -
LANDSCAPE INSPECTION (29)
In a memorandum dated September 7, 1994, Barbara Dillon,
Director of Personnel, stated that concerns have been raised
regarding the split responsibility for inspection of landscape
assessment districts between the Public Works/Engineering
Department and Parks, Recreation & Community Services Department.
Parks, Recreation & Community Services has three individuals
performing landscape inspection services on a City-wide basis,
including assessment districts, while Public Works/Engineering has
the responsibility for administering the contracts and preparing
the annual assessment rolls for assessment districts.
This matter was referred to the Legislative Review Committee
for review; and the Committee approved a recommendation from staff
to transfer and reclassify one Park Maintenance Worker III from
Parks, Recreation & Community Services to Public Works/Engineering
and to assign this individual primary responsibility for inspection
of landscape maintenance in assessment districts.
The position of Landscape Inspector I would be established at
Range 1322 ($2,211-$2,688/month), and the Park Maintenance Worker
III, who is at Step 5 of Range 1295 ($2,347/month), would be
reclassified to a Landscape Inspector I at Step 4 of Range 1322
($2, 560/month), when the individual is transferred to Public
Works/Engineering. The increased cost of the transfer and
reclassification for the first year would be $3,017/year, including
salaries and benefits. However, all costs incurred for this
position would be financed from various landscape maintenance
assessment districts.

9/19/94
Mike Moll, 6705 N. Steven Way, San Bernardino, CA, expressed
concern that the contract for maintaining the assessment districts
would not be enforced and that additional costs would be billed to
the district; and felt the Council should review the matter more
carefully before approving any action.
Discussion ensued regarding the advantages of having one
person focused on and responsible for the maintenance of the
assessment districts; and the steps that are being taken to change
the City's contracts to prevent a contractor that is not performing
up to standard from bidding on any other projects. This should
produce a more direct and efficient inspection, with a quicker
response when deficiencies occur.
Terry Moll, 6705 N. Steven Way, San Bernardino, CA, stated
that although she had reviewed the area of Assessment District No.
991 with employees of Mentone Turf and identified the problems to
Mentone Turf Supply and to Parks, Recreation & Community Services,
no improvement had been made.
Council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Oberhelman, and unanimously carried, that one (1) Park
Maintenance Worker III, Range 1295 ($1,931-$2,347/month) be deleted
from Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department and
transferred to the Public Works/Engineering Department; that a new
classification of Landscape Inspector I be established at Range
1322 ($2,211-$2, 688/month); that the existing classification of
Landscape Inspector, Range 1350 ($2,541-$3,088/month) be retitled
to Landscape Inspector II; that one (1) Park Maintenance Worker III
in Public Works/Engineering be reclassified to Landscape Inspector
I, Range 1322 ($2,211-$2,688/month), effective the first pay period
of October 1994; that the Finance Department be directed to amend
the fiscal year 1994/95 budget for Parks, Recreation and Community
Services and Public Works/Engineering, and that the budget be
increased for the assessment districts by an additional $3,017; and
that the Personnel Department be directed to update Resolution No.

STREET VACATION - MARSHALL BOULEVARD BETWEEN ROCKFORD &

AVENUE & MARSHALL BOULEVARD - AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED &
PLAN APPROVAL - CONTINUED FROM AUGUST 1, 1994 (36)
This is the time and place continued to consider a street
vacation for portions of Marshall Boulevard between Rockford and
Victoria Avenues, and a portion of piedmont Drive between Belvedere
Avenue and Marshall Boulevard.
In a memorandum dated September 2, 1994, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that a request had
been received from Hunsaker and Associates, Consulting Engineers
representing the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, to vacate a
portion of Marshall Boulevard between Rockford and Victoria
Avenues, and a portion of piedmont Drive approximately 430 feet
east of the center line of Belvedere Avenue and Marshall Boulevard.
The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians owns several pieces of
property on the west side of Victoria Avenue and is trying to
31
9/19/94
create one large parcel in the process of "federalizing" this
property. The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians would like to
utilize both piedmont Drive and Marshall Boulevard which are paper
streets. These streets have been dedicated for public use, but
have not been constructed.
At the Council meeting of August 1, 1994, the request for
authorization to proceed was continued to September 19, 1994, to
allow the City to meet with the applicant to discuss their plans
for development of the property. The City and the San Manuel Band
of Mission Indians have agreed to hold neighborhood meetings to
present the different options to adjacent residents and landowners
and address any concerns regarding the development of the property.
Jack Mortenson, 5666 Blythe Avenue, Highland, CA, an adjoining
property owner, urged the Council to take no action on the vacation
proceedings until a neighborhood meeting is held and residents'
concerns can be evaluated and addressed by the applicant.
Roger Cooper, 5655 Blythe Avenue, Highland, CA, an adjoining
property owner, requested more input as to the development plans
for the property before the Council approved the vacations.
Council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Devlin, and unanimously carried, that the Director of Public
Works/City Engineer and the City ClerK be authorized to proceed
with the proposed vacation of those portions of Marshall Boulevard
between Rockford and Victoria Avenues, and that portion of piedmont
Drive lying 430 feet east of Belvedere Avenue and Marshall
Boulevard; that Plan No. 9158, showing the proposed vacation of
portions of Marshall Boulevard and piedmont Drive, be approved; and
that no final action on the vacation proceedings be taken until
neighborhood meetings and input have been evaluated and reasonably
addressed by the applicant and the City.

City's scope of involvement exceeds Colton's at a ratio of

In a memorandum dated September 15, 1994, Mayor Minor stated
that pursuant to an agreement between the San Bernardino Employment
and Training Agency and the Boys' Club of San Bernardino, an audit
was conducted wherein $10,782 was disallowed due to lack of
supporting documentation justifying general and administrative
expenditures. After several attempts to resolve the matter,
documentation could only provide support for $6,999.10, leaving an
outstanding debt of $3,789.90 due the State of California
Employment Development Department, According to Job Training
Partnership Act (JTPA) rules, the disallowed amount cannot be paid
with JTPA funds. Therefore, restitution must come from the City
General Fund, the Boys' Club, or another funding source other than
JTPA.
Council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Pope-Ludlam, that the Mayor and Common Council approve the
repayment to the State of California Employment Development

(54)
In a memorandum dated September 14, 1994, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that the plans for
improvement of Tippecanoe Avenue, Sheppard Boulevard, and Del Rosa
Drive indicate that the existing street lighting systems are to be
removed and replaced with a new system. Records available through
the Air Force did not show how the existing street lights received
electrical power.
Upon removing the existing lights, it was discovered that they
were wired in series, which shut off power to all street lights on
the former Norton Air Force Base. The Air Force representatives
still located at Norton are requiring that the existing street
lights which are not being removed by the current contract be
placed back in service, The contractor has submitted a price quote
to make the necessary modification to place the remaining street
lights back in service at a cost not-to-exceed $25,000.
A grant has been secured through the U. S . Department of
Commerce, Economic Development Administration, to finance 75
percent of the total project cost. The 25 percent local agency
share would be provided by the Inland Valley Development Agency
(IVDA). No City funds would be used to finance the cost of this
project,
Jeff Wright, P.O. Box 2341, San Bernardino, CA, expressed
concern over the number of change orders, stating that a
professional engineering company should be able to anticipate them
beforehand.
Discussion ensued regarding the change order process.
Gary Kirby, 1505 Yardley, San Bernardino, CA, noted the need
for an ordinance relative to procedural rules for meetings of the
Legislative Body, citing the previous discussion with its lack of
decorum and courtesy,
City Administrator Shauna Clark stated that almost every
contract contains a bid price and a contingency provislon.
Contingency money is specifically set aside in the event a change
order is necessary. She also noted that although the City is
administering this project; the bidding, award of contract and all
else was handled by IVDA.

In a memorandum dated September 14, 1994, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that extensive
discussions were conducted with the various utility companies
relative to the existing facilities within the former Norton Air
Force Base that were owned and operated by the Air Force. The
consensus of the utility companies was that all existing utility
systems were nonstandard, and they were not interested in acquiring
and operating these systems, Therefore, plans were prepared to
direct the contractor to remove the tops and a portion of the sides
of the telephone vaults and to fill the voids with slurry.
After work was started on this proj ect, General Telephone
Company reached an agreement with the Air Force to acquire the
telephone system. In view of this agreement, the Air Force is
requiring that the existing telephone system be maintained in
service, To keep this system in service, the tops of the vaults
and a portion of the sides would have to be removed and a new top
installed that would not be in conflict with the proposed street
improvements.
The contractor submitted a price quote of $100,219.40 to
perform this extra work. Since the City is unable to verify
whether this price is fair and reasonable, the extra work will be
done on a time and material basis at a price not-to-exceed $80,000.
A grant has been secured through the U.S. Department of Commerce,

NO-SMOKING ORDINANCE - MC-905 - TEMPORARY MORATORIUM
(A81)
In a memorandum dated September 15, 1994, Council Member
Curlin stated that in view of the ambivalence expressed by the City
Attorney with regard to enforcement of the newly enacted San
Bernardino smoking ordinance, MC-905, and the fact that a State-
wide smoking ordinance becomes effective January 1, 1995, he
recommended that a motion be made to accord voluntary compliance

complaints of those local establishments claiming an erosion of

currently permit smoking.
