Examiner or to any of the Commissioners that a problem existed.
Barbara Dillon, Personnel Director, answered questions
regarding the personnel cost savings to the City.

be no loitering, no sale of alcoholic beverages to minors, and
that there be no consumption on the premises or the conditional
use permit would be revoked.
Mr. Ali answered questions and stated that he has been in
business in the City of Riverside for three years and has never
been cited by the ABC Board nor by the Police Department.
Mr. Ali stated that he plans to be at the proposed mini-
market in the City of San Bernardino on a daily basis.
A discussion ensued regarding the differences of imposing
conditions on a conditional use permit on mini-markets versus
supermarkets.
Director Reed answered questions regarding the number of
conditional use permits applied for by supermarkets in the City.
He stated that to his knowledge there was only one, Stater Bros.
on 40th and Kendall.
Mayor Holcomb suggested that staff draft language on the
revocation of the permit if certain conditions are not complied
with.
Larry Reed stated that Condition No. 11 contains language on
the revocation process of the permit and read the condition for
the record.
Mr. Reed indicated
90-72 with conditions

but that the Planning Commission had
Susan Johnson, a resident of Sundance Drive, Area Director
for the David Area Neighborhood Watch, presented a petition to
the Council containing forty signatures of residents opposing
C.U.P. 90-72. Ms. Johnson cited violent crimes and problems
associated with convenience stores. She added that the majority
of the people that use these types of stores are not residents of
San Bernardino.
Ms. Johnson stated that the City's Police Department does
not support the proposed business, primarily due to the increase
in residential burglary, vehicle burglary and auto theft. She
stated that never before has there been a robbery on Kendall
Drive, but that there are increasing numbers of instances of
armed robbery, drug sales, and minors buying alcoholic beverages.
28
5/6/91
Ms. Johnson addressed the issue of why larger stores may not
be required to have a conditional use permit. She explained that
supermarkets have larger numbers of employees on hand to monitor
the building and parking lots, while mini-markets often have only
one employee on duty.
Ms. Johnson felt strongly that the developer and business
owner do not have the community's best interest at heart, as they
do not live in the community and are not aware of the problems
caused by mini-markets permitted to sell beer and wine.
Mayor Holcomb pointed out that if the proposed convenience
store were going to add more consumption of alcohol, he would
personally be against the C.U.P., but that the crimes mentioned
occurred without this market being at the retail center.
Mayor Holcomb indicated that a review of the conditions
outlined in the conditional use permit will occur in one year and
if there are problems which cannot be resolved, the conditional
use permit would be revoked.
Mary Brambila, 5256 Rivera Ave, San Bernardino, President of
PTA, Kendall Elementary School, expressed concern over the close
proximity of the proposed mini-market to Kendall Elementary
School and requested denial of C.U.P. 90-72.
Marie Rivera, 6475 Beechwood, San Bernardino, owner of San
Bernardino Cuts, located within the shopping center on the corner
of Kendall Drive and University Parkway, spoke in support of
Conditional Use Permit No. 90-72. She stated that having a mini-
market at the Center would be beneficial to businesses and
residents in the surrounding area.
Carlos Enciso, 5172 Chaparral, San Bernardino, Manager of
Paco's Mexican Food, located in the retail center, spoke in
support of the mini-market. He stated that the store would be
very convenient to many college students attending Cal State who
do not own vehicles to drive two miles to the nearest
supermarket.
Mr. Schultz stated that a review will be made within a year
to make sure that the mini-market complies with the conditions of
approval. Notification to the residents will be made during that
time to allow discussion on any concerns the residents may have.
Mr. Schultz explained that the store will be designed so the
cashier will have a complete view of the entire center. He
stated that the beer and wine will be in the back of the store.
A discussion ensued regarding reviewing the conditional use
permit in three or six months.
29
5/6/91
Mr. Schultz stated that three months would not be enough
time to obtain a good record of what has occurred at the center,
but indicated that Mr. Ali would be willing to agree to a review
period of six months.
Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Estrada, that the hearing be closed; that the
appeal be upheld; and that Conditional Use Permit No. 90-72 be
approved subject to the findings of fact and conditions of
approval contained in Exhibit "E" with a review of this operat'ion
in six months for conformance of all conditions including all
positive and negative aspects of the operation.
The motion failed by the following vote: Ayes:
Members Estrada, Pope-Ludlam. Nays: Council Members

applicant is not requesting a density bonus.
A discussion ensued regarding assurances that a Senior
Center complex will be built at the proposed location, and the
proximity to the Arden and Guthrie Apartments.
Mr. Reed explained that there are no guarantees that the
center will be built, but there is an eighty percent chance that
the project will be built, as the applicant has hired an
architect and plans are in the development stage.

ANNOUNCEMENT BY CITY ATTORNEY PENMAN REQUEST FOR

City Attorney Penman announced that there is a conference
call with the Judge set at 4: 30 p.m., and Deputy City Attorney

by 4:15 p.m.
COUNCIL MEMBER POPE-LUDLAM EXCUSED
Council Member Pope-Ludlam left the Council meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 90-14A - TO
CHANGE THE LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM RL TO RS - NORTH
SIDE OF FOOTHILL DRIVE, EAST OF STERLING AVENUE. (46)
This is the time and place set for a public hearing on
General Plan Amendment No. 90-14A to change the land use
designation from RL, Residential Low (3.1 dwelling units per
acre) to RS, Residential Suburban (4.5 dwelling units per acre)
on approximately 8.12 acres located on the north side of Foothill
Drive approximately 1,180 feet east of Sterling Avenue.
*Note: The following discussion covers both items 46-
General Plan Amendment No. 90-14A to change the land use
designation from RL to RS on Foothill Drive east of Sterling
Avenue and item 47 - General Plan No. 90-14B to change the text
of the RS and RL designations to permit attached and detached
units on a Citywide basis.
Mayor Holcomb opened the hearing.
Larry Reed stated that the applicant is requesting to
change the land use designation from RL, Residential Low, which
allows 3.1 dwelling units per acre to RS, Residential Suburban,
which will permit 4.5 dwelling units per acre on an 8.12 acre
site located on the north side of Foothill Drive, approximately
1180 feet east of Sterling Avenue.
John Edwins, 445 S. Arrowhead Ave, Suite B, San Bernardino,
presented a video presentation of the proposed project.

5/6/91
COUNCIL MEMBER POPE-LUDLAM RETURNED
Council Member Pope-Ludlam returned to the Council meeting
and took her place at the council table.
Mr. Edwins answered questions regarding the increased number
of units for the project. He stated that there would be a total
net increase of three units if the General Plan amendment were
approved.
Mr. Edwins explained that when the General Plan was adopted,
part of the present RL zoning was for 10/8 lots only, wh'ich
doesn't allow an opportunity to deal with some of the
characteristics usually found such as streams, trees, open space,
setbacks and water canals. If the General Plan allowed detached
housing in the RL zone, there would be flexibility to move these
lots around to design a subdivision, and there would not be a
need to ask for a zone change.
Mr. Edwins answered questions regarding the number of 10/8
lots that the site could accommodate keeping in mind the
earthquake fault. He stated that 13 lots could be accommodated
on the site.
Senior Assistant City Attorney Barlow suggested that the
developer be required to obtain an Environmental Impact Report at
the beginning phases of development in order to address
environmental concerns of traffic congestion, noise, geological
issues, fire hazards, and seismic problems.
Director Reed disagreed with Mr. Barlow, stating that
requesting an Environmental Impact Report at this stage could
place an undue burden on the applicant, as the developer may be
required to have a second EIR at the time of the specific
design when the conditional use permit is applied for.
A discussion ensued regarding cluster type housing being
allowed in the appropriate zones within the City.
Director Reed stated that clustered housing is permitted in
the Hillside Management District. He stated that if this
proposed project were in the hillside area, then the project
could proceed with its application. He also answered questions
regarding the probability of applying density restrictions on the
RU designation.
Mayor Holcomb explained that approving this request for a
General Plan amendment does not mean all projects are approved.
Each project will have to stand on its own merits. Even if this
project goes through, it does not mean that any development would
occur without first having a full public hearing before the
Planning Commission, subject to appeal before the Mayor and
Common Council.
32
5/6/91
Mayor Holcomb further stated that the proposed text change
would be a tool for the City to allow cluster type housing
citywide.
Sr. City Attorney Barlow clarified comments made regarding
developers applying for an Environmental Impact Report at the
beginning phase of the project. He stated that the General Plan
Amendment is significant in that it changes single family
detached housing on 10/8 lots to a cluster development. He
stated that requiring an Environmental Impact Report would not be
a matter of law, but should be considered before a decision is
made.
Will Stearn, 3617 Hemlock Drive, San Bernardino, spoke in
opposition to the proposed zone change.
Mr. Stearn commented on the proposed text change that would
allow attached units of clustering citywide. He gave the
following reasons why General Plan Amendment No. 90-14B should be
denied: 1. The general area is zoned RL. 2. The
recommendation to rezone is not substantially justified and would
establish a precedent of spot zoning. 3. Non-conforming attached
condos would be concentrated in the south portion of the site
along the collector street. 4. The proposed project is not in
conformance with provisions outlined in the General Plan. 5.
That some spot zoning should be created in the northeast area of
the City instead of the proposed location.
Ann Niemeyer, 3559 Manzanita Drive, San Bernardino, spoke on
behalf of the residents who, signed the petition opposing General
Plan Amendment 90-14A, and stated that they do not want cluster
housing in the area.
James Roe, 2373 Willow Avenue, San Bernardino, spoke in
support of the proposal to change the land use designation from
RL to RS and to the proposed text change to permit attached and
detached units on a Citywide basis in the RS and RL designations.
*Note: the remainder of the discussion on Items 46 and 47
was continued until after closed session. See page 34

faults.

Richard P. Siegmund, Sigland & Associates, Professional Land
Surveyor, 2455 Willow Drive, San Bernardino, a firm that provides

dated May 6, 1991, opposing General Plan Amendment No. 90-14A.
He recommended that the present General Plan be followed and that
General Plan Amendment No. 90-14A be denied.
John Edwins, addressed concerns regarding the fire, flooding
and geological hazards for the proposed project. He stated that
these issues have already been addressed in an Environmental
Impact Report when the City adopted its General Plan in 1989.
Mr. Edwins explained that the proposal to change the land
use designation is because of the 10/8 lot requirement in the RL
designation. He stated that if the 10/8 lot requirement were not
there, then he would be able to build a reasonable number of
homes on the site and arrange them on the lot in such a way to
make for good housing.
