(f) The adoption of General Plan Amendment No. 95-01 is deemed in the interest of the orderly development of the City and is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the existing General Plan. SECTION 2. Neqative Declaration NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, FOUND AND DETERMINED by the Mayor and Common Council that the proposed amendment to the General Plan of the City of San Bernardino will have no significant effect on the environment, and the Negative Declaration heretofore prepared by the Environmental Review Committee as to the effect of this proposed amendment is hereby ratified, affirmed and adopted. SECTION 3. Findinqs BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino that: The proposed CH, Commercial Heavy, land use designation is internally consistent with General Plan Objective 1.30 in that it will create a commercial area which will be characterized 15 A. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 B. 23 24 25 26 27 c. 28 by an extensive use of outdoor or indoor space for their sales, service, and/or storage and ensure compatibility with adjacent uses and the proposed designation is not in conflict with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City in that the amendment area already contains existing commercial uses that would be made conforming and compatible with future commercial development of the site. The proposed amendment to change the land use designation on 7.2 acres from CN, Commercial Neighborhood CH, Commercial 2 Heavy, would enhance the balance of land uses in that existing and proposed development on the site would provide commercial retail and services for the Baseline corridor. The 7.2 acre amendment site is physically large enough for uses permitted in the CH, Commercial Heavy, land use designation and all parcels have or will have adequate access to Baseline street. SECTION 4. Amendment BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Mayor and Common Council that: The Land Use Plan of the General Plan of the City of San Bernardino is amended by changing approximately 7.2 acres from CN, Commercial Neighborhood, to CH, Commercial Heavy. This amendment is designated as General Plan Amendment No. 95-01 and its location is outlined on the map entitled Attachment A, and is more specifically described in the legal description entitled Attachment B, copies of which are attached and incorporated herein be reference.

Kim 14317 Ashbury Drive Chino, CA 91709 OWNER: Mr. Kyung T. Kim ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- REQUEST I WCATION - The applicant is requesting approval of (1) an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map to change the underlying land use district for the 7.2 acre, five parcel subject site from Commercial Neighborhood (CN) to Commercial Heavy (CH) and (2) a Conditional Use Permit to locate and operate a recreational vehicle storage facility within the three most western parcels. The subject site is located at 2662 and 2664 Baseline, on the north side of Baseline, immediately west of Victoria Avenue. ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- PROPERTY ExIsTING LAND USE LAND USE DESIGNATION SUBJECT NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST Vacant/General Market Flood Control ChannellResidential Various Commercial Uses Various Commercial Uses Apartment Complex CN, Commercial Neighborhood RMH, Residential Medium-High Baseline Commercial (Highland) Baseline Commercial (Highland) RMH, Residential Medium-High GEOLOGIC/SEISMIC YES 0 FLOOD HAZARD YES 0 I SEWERS: I ~;S ~ I HAZARD ZONE: NO .

Minutes o DENIAL o CONTINUANCE TO: '}~ GPA No. 95-ollCUP 95-05 Agenda Item: 2 Hearing Date: June 20, 1995 Page 2 REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of (1) an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map to change the underlying land use district for the 7.2 acre, five parcel subject site from Commercial Neighborhood (CN) to Commercial Heavy (CH) and (2) a Conditional Use Permit to locate and operate a recreational vehicle storage facility within the three most western parcels. As a recreational vehicle storage facility is not permitted within the CN zone, the applicant is requesting approval of the proposed General Plan Amendment to change the parcels' land use designations to one which conditionally permits the proposed use. The subject site consists of five parcels; however, only three of the parcels are proposed to contain the recreational vehicle storage facility (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 286-163-44,45,46). The remaining two parcels, Assessor's Parcel Numbers 286-163-39 and 40 (owned by the Beaver Medical Clinic and Richard and Darlene Chado respectively), will remain undeveloped at this time. The entire five parcel site is currently vacant, with the exception of a 2,500 square foot multi-tenant commercial structure containing an existing general merchandise market located in the southwest portion of the five parcel site (2662 East Baseline). The market occupies approximately 1,250 square feet with the remainder of the structure vacant. To the rear and side of this structure, the applicant proposes to operate a facility for the storage of up to 221 recreational vehicles (on the three westernmost parcels and addressed as 2664 East Baseline). If approved, no construction would occur other than fencing and surfacing of the proposed parking area. The ;operations office for the proposed facility would be in a suite adjacent to the existing market. The office could also potentially function as a security office. LOCATION The five parcel site has a frontage of approximately 660 feet on the north side of Baseline Street, while the three parcels to contain the storage facility have a frontage of approximately 330 feet , on the north side of Baseline. The site, which is to the immediate west of Victoria Avenue adjacent to the City of Highland, is not located within any redevelopment areas nor is it within any special district as identified in the General Plan or Development Code. The five parcel subject site is 7.2 acres and rectangular-shaped. The immediate area along Baseline is primarily commercial, with the exception of an apartment complex immediately adjacent to the site on the west. The area to the north and west of the proposed site is zoned residential and is within the City of San Bernardino, while the area to the immediate south and east is zoned commercial and located within the City of Highland. (j S-. -,}I/;) GPA No. 95-ollCUP 95-05 Agenda Item: 2 Hearing Dale: June 20, 1995 Page 3 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) STATUS Both the proposed amendment to the General Plan Map and the Conditional Use Permit are subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An Initial Study was prepared and reviewed by the City's Environmental Review Committee (ERe) on April 20, 1995 and May 18, 1995. It was determined that the proposals will not have an adverse impact on the physical environment, and the ERC recommended adoption of the Negative Declarations. The public review and comment period extended from April 27, 1995, to May 18, 1995. No comments were received. DEVELOPMENT CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE Should the General Plan Amendment be approved, the Conditional Use Permit request would be consistent with the General Plan and in conformance with the Development Code as shown in Attachment C. Specifically, the Conditional Use Permit implements the following General Plan Objective: 1. Provide for the development of limited commercial and industrial uses characterized by an extensive use of outdoor or indoor space for their sales, service, and/or storage and ensure their compatibility with adjacent uses (General Plan Objective 1.30). ANALYSIS General Plan Amendment As a proposal to change the site's land use designation from CN to CH, the project will change the intensity of the land use as designated in the General Plan. As a result, the uses within the CH district which are currently not permitted in the CN district will be either permitted or conditionally permitted as indicated in the City's "Commercial Districts List of Permitted Uses." Generally, the CH district allows for greater flexibility for locating permitted and conditionally ,permitted uses, with the district intended to accommodate automobile and truck sales and repair facilities, lumberyards, and related hardware sales, plant nurseries, light industrial manufacturing and storage facilities, and similar uses requiring extensive outdoor or indoor space for their sales, service and/or storage. The CN district is intended to provide for the continued use, expansion, and new development of small scale, low intensity neighborhood commercial uses which serve and are in proximity to residential neighborhoods throughout the City. As such, the uses allowed are more limited than those of a CH designation. Although it is a heavy commercial designation, the CH district includes all of the CN uses except: barber/beauty/nail shops; dance schools/karate studios; health/athletic clubs; laundromats (self serve); convenience stores; mini malls; and educational services (except trade tech). Therefore, the change to a CH r, " r,::..-, GPA No. 95-{)lICUP 95-{)5 Agenda Item: 2 Hearing Date: June 20, 1995 Page 4 zone will increase the opportunity for development while still addressing most every use currently found in the CN zone. Although uses not currently permitted in the Commercial Neighborhood land use district will be either permitted or conditionally permitted in the CH district, the general area surrounding the project site is such that the project site lends itself well to a commercial heavy designation. The site is bounded on the north and immediate west by residential land use districts; however, the larger surrounding area within the City of Highland is already designated commercial. Currently, on the south side of Baseline across from the project site, there exists higher intensity commercial uses such as an auto body repair and a fireplace manufacturer. Adjacent to these uses are a warehouse and thrift store. At the northwest and southeast corners of Baseline and Victoria are a gas station and an auto repair facility respectively, with an additional auto repair facility to the immediate east of the five parcel project site. Therefore, the site is already directly exposed to more intense commercial land uses (or the potential for commercial land uses) immediately to the east and south. Although an existing mobile home park lies to the immediate north of the proposed site and an apartment complex to the immediate west, the change in land use designation should not have a negative impact. The mobile home park is buffered by a flood control channel under the jurisdiction of the San Bernardino County Flood Control District and the apartment complex will be buffered from the proposed use by a six foot wall. Future uses on-site would need individual entitlement and environmental review and therefore, could be evaluated for their impacts on the adjacent residential. Given the nature of the area and the fact that Baseline is an arterial better suited for more intensive uses, staff believes that the proposed General Plan Amendment will further these Goals and the amendment will be in the best interest of the community. Conditional Use Permit The Conditional Use Permit element of this request addresses the proposed recreational vehicle storage facility locating in the western portion of the proposed site. Operations at the facility ,will be such that an individual can lease a designated space within the lot for the purpose of storing their recreational vehicles (motor homes, boats, etc.). No repair of the vehicles shall be permitted on-site. Design The proposed R. V. Storage Facility will be a low intensity use which will provide for up to 221 parking spaces on-site (in addition to visitor parking). The design of the facility will be similar to a parking lot, with the exception that the individual spaces will be longer and that multiple spaces may be necessary to house individual recreational vehicles. The facility will be - '0 GPA No. 95..()lICUP 95"()5 Agenda Item: 2 Hearing Date: June 20, 1995 Page 5 surrounded on all sides by a six foot block wall and landscaping will be provided along Baseline. Currently, a chain link fence surrounds the site and a sign pole with an empty can exist in front of the market. Conditions of approval have been made a part of the project which will require the removal of the chain link fencing and the abandoned non-conforming pole sign. In addition to securing the vehicles being stored on-site, the wall will also help prevent the dumping of trash which occurs frequently on-site at present. Adequate lighting shall be provided on-site to the satisfaction of the Police Department. The facility has been designed to take into consideration the adjacent apartment complex. As residential uses are sensitive, the facility shall be open no later than 7:30 p.m. and shall house only recreational vehicles (e.g. motorhomes, boats, etc.). By limiting the types of vehicles and hours of operation, noise from the vehicles can be kept to a level which will not exceed the roadway noise from Baseline. The six foot block wall proposed around the entire facility will screen the subject site from the adjacent uses. The proposed security lighting shall be installed to minimize spillover impacts to the adjacent residential uses. Parking, Circulation, and Access The proposed recreational vehicle storage facility will provide 221 spaces devoted to vehicle storage. Additionally, there will be three additional spaces for customers to utilize when visiting the facility's office. The existing general merchandise market will utilize the same parking lot area it has traditionally used (directly in front of the structure). The on-site circulation has been designed to allow recreational vehicles to enter the site from Baseline. Two way circulation provides access to the facility; 'while 24 foot drive aisles allow six rows of parking stalls for the R. V. 'So The Public Works Department Traffic Division has reviewed the proposed site plan and found it to be consistent with City standards. COMMENTS RECEIVED Staff has contacted the owners of the two adjacent parcels by registered mail and informed them , of the intent to change the zoning of the subject property. The two individuals were asked to contact staff by June 8, 1995, if they had any concerns with the proposal. On June 12, 1995, staff received a letter of support from the Beaver Medical Clinic (one of the two property owners within 1he, 7.2 acre site). Staff has attempted to contact the other property owner; however, their telephone number is unlisted. As they have not indicated opposition to this proposal as of the drafting of this staff report (June 14, 1995), staff will assume that they have no concerns with the proposal. Additionally, a letter was received from Roger and Delores Struxness, who reside within 500 feet of the project site, in support of the proposed conditional use permit for recreational vehicle storage. The City of Highland has requested that landscaping be provided along the perimeter wall so as to discourage graffiti. Other than these comments GPA No. 95-<>1/CUP 95-<>5 Agenda Item: 2 Hearing Dale: June 20, 1995 Page 6 and those received by the City's D/ERC, which have been incorporated into the conditions of approval, no comments have been received as of the writing of this staff report. CONCLUSIONS General Plan Amendment No. 95-01 is reasonable and in the best interest of the community. It will expand commercial development opportunity on the 7.2 acres. Further, if the General Plan Amendment is approved, Conditional Use Permit No. 95-05 will be consistent with the General Plan. Additionally, there is a proposed Negative Declaration. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission: 1. Recommend that the Mayor and Common Council adopt the Negative Declaration; 2. Recommend to the Mayor and Common Council that the applications for GPA 95-01 and CUP 95-05 be approved. t2Jj~ MICHAEL E. HAYS As . stant Director of PI . ng ;and Building Services Attachments A.

The proposed amendment is internally consistent with the General Plan in that it provides for a Commercial Heavy land use district which is more compatible with the existing land uses surrounding the site. 2. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City in that the Commercial Heavy land use designation will allow the subject site to be more consistent with the surrounding area. 3. The proposed amendment will maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City in that it will allow a greater flexibility of land uses on-site which are more compatible with the surrounding land uses in the City of Highland. 4. The subject site is physically suitable for the requested land use designation and the anticipated land use developments in that the subject site is large and vacant. The amendment will allow for future uses to be located with greater flexibility. ATTACHMENT "D-2" CONDmONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The proposed use is conditionally pennitted within, and will not impair the integrity and character of the CH, Commercial Heavy, Land Use District, and complies with all of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. 2. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan in that it meets all applicable goals, objectives and policies that are set forth, and specifically implements Objective 1.30 of the General Plan. 3. The approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 95-05 is in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act in that an Initial Study has been prepared for the proposed project which found that no significant impact will occur. 4. There will be no potentially significant negative impacts upon environmental quality and the natural resources in that this Initial Study found that no significant impacts will occur to the environment. 5. The location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with the existing uses within the general area in which the proposed use is to be located and will not create significant noise, traffic or other conditions or situations that may be objectionable or detrimental to other permitted uses in the vicinity or adverse to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. 6.

Mandatory Findings of Significance (Section 15065) The California Environmental Quality Act states that if any of the following can be answered yes or maybe, the project may have a significant effect on the environment and an Environmental Impact Report shall be prepared. Based on this Initial Study: a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or anjmal or eliminate important exafuples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? x b. Does the project have the to the disadvantage of long- term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) x c. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? '(A project may impact on two or more separate resources where ~ ' c ,,--. City of San Bernardino Environmental Impact Checklist Page 15 April 20, 1995 Yes No Maybe the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) x d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? x B. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION AND MITIGATION MEASURES 6. Land Use a. As a proposal to change the site's land use designation from CN to CH, the project will change the intensity of the land use as designated in the General Plan. As a result, the uses within the CH district which are currently not permitted in the CN district will be either permitted or conditionally permitted as indicated in the City's "Commercial Districts List of Permitted Uses." The site is bounded on north and immediate west by resideittialland use districts; however, the larger surrounding area within the City of Highland is already designated commercial. Therefore, the site is already directly exposed to commercial land uses (or the potential for commercial land uses) immediately to the east, west, and south. Should this General Plan Amendment be approved, various heavy commercial uses which currently are not permitted will be either permitted or conditionally permitted. The following is a list of uses ,specifically listed in the Development Code as being either "permitted" or "conditionally permitted" in the CH land use designation, which are currently not permitted in the CN land use designation: Pennitted · Auto Parts Sales (with installations) · Accessory Structures/Uses typically appurtenant to a principally permitted land use activity · Agricultural Services · Assembling, cleaning, manufacturing, processing, repairing or testing of projects including automotive related (except dismantling) and welding and excluding explosives, conducted entirely 'within an enclosed structure except for screened outdoor storage areas /,; c i" ~ City of San Bernardino Environmental Impact Checklist Page 16 April 20, 1995 · Assembling, cleaning, manufacturing, processing, repair of projects, research, storage, testing or wholesale land uses (except explosives) with a portion of the operation (other than storage) occurring outside of Ihe enclosed structure (outside uses within 150 feet of residential land use district to require a CUP) . Crematory · Funeral Parlors/Mortuaries . Gasoline Service Stations · Membership Organizations · Mobile Home Dealers (sales and service) · Outdoor contractor's, lumber, and rental yards and storage areas for building supplies · Outdoor Horticultural Nurseries · Public utility uses, distribution and transmission substations and communication equipment structures . Towing Services · Transportation/Distribution · Veterinarian Services/Animal Boarding · Warehousing and Wholesaling, including self-service mini-storage · Antennae, Satellite and Vertical . Cleaning/Janitorial · Copy Centers/Postal Service Centers and Blueprinting · Vehicle Leasing/Rental · Office Supplies/Equipment · Catering Establishments · Cleaning/Janitorial ' · Laboratories (e.g., Film, Medical and Dental, "R & D," etc.) · Publishing/Printing Plants · Welding and Related Uses · Cable Companies · Clubs, Lodges, and Meeting Halls · Educational Services, including Day Care Facilities (requires a CUP in the CN district) , · Radio/Television Broadcasting Conditionally Pennitted · Auto Repair (e.g. Bodywork, Engine and Drive Train) . Car, R.V. and Truck Sales · Impound Vehicle Storage Yards (with or without towing) . Pipelines · Salvage and Wrecking Facilities (completely within an enclosed structure) . R.V. Parks · ' Adult Entertainment (must comply with Development Code standards) · Indoor Retail Concession Malls r l n .... . City of San Bernardino Environmental Impact Checklist Page 17 April 20, 1995 . Fuel Dealers · HeliportsJHelipads · Swap Meets Although uses not currently permitted in the Commercial Neighborhood land use district will be either permitted or conditionally permitted in the CH district, the general area surrounding the project site is such that the project site lends itself well to a commercial heavy designation. The proposed R.V. Storage Facility will be a low intensity use which will not negatively impact the adjacent apartment complex and surrounding residential areas. Any future use other than the R.V. Storage Facility will require individual environmental analysis and clearance prior to approval, thus allowing them to be reviewed for potential impacts to the surrounding area. The two parcels (APN's 268-163-39 and 40 totalling 3.68 acres) to the immediate east of the project site are currently designated Commercial Neighborhood as well. Staff and the applicant will be exploring the potential of including this area within the General Plan Amendment. By including this area within the scope of the General Plan Amendment, the entire area designated as CN would become CH and, as such, would be subject to the above mentioned permitted and conditionally permitted land uses. 7. Man-Made Hazards a. As the proposed use on-site will be recreational vehicle storage, there will be oil stored on-site within the vehicles. However, the site will function no differently than any typical parking lot and will not allow for the changing, transpOrtation, or disposal of motor oil or any other hazardous or toxic material. Conditions of approval will be placed on the project requiring that no dumping or changing of oil occur as well as no vehicle maintenance or repair. Further, the project will be conditioned to require signage on the interior side of the perimeter wall stating that no dumping of oil is permitted. (", __; an . r' " ~ , . , .
