Appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of Tentative Parcel Map No.
16880 (Subdivision No. 04-24)

BACKGROUND
The appellant is appealing the Planning Commission denial of Tentative Parcel Map 16880, a
request to subdivide 0.55-acre into two lots with lot sizes of 11,790 square feet and 12,400
square feet. The subdivision application did not include a proposal to construct houses. The
property is a vacant parcel located at the northwest comer of Yucca and Camellia Drives in the
RS, Residential Suburban land use district (see Exhibit I - Location Map).
At the meeting of AprilS, 2005, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to deny Tentative
Parcel Map 16880. Planning staff had recommended that the subdivision application be approved
because the proposal would be consistent with the General Plan and Development Code, and all
the required Findings could be made (for the complete analysis, see Exhibit 2 - Planning
Commission Staff Report). Several residents of the neighborhood had submitted written and
verbal comments which expressed their opposition to the proposal, citing the lot sizes in the
surrounding neighborhood and the proposed subdivision's inconsistency with the existing
neighborhood (see Exhibit 3 - Letters to the Planning Commission). An administrative error
resulted in the public notice describing the proposed subdivision as creating three lots (rather
than two lots). Therefore, prior to the meeting, numerous opponents were under the impression
that three lots would be created. Commissioners Durr, Enciso, Heasley, Morris, Powell, and
Sauerbrun voted in favor of the motion to deny the application.
The applicant disagreed with the Planning Commission's decision, and filed an appeal on April
19, 2005, to the Mayor & Common Council (see Exhibit 4 - Appeal). The appellant disagrees
with the revised Findings of Fact Nos. 2 and 4 contained in the Planning Commission
Memorandum of April 19, 2005 (see Exhibit 5 - Planning Commission Memorandum). The
appellant is requesting that the Mayor & Common Council overturn the decision of the Planning
Commission and approve Tentative Parcel Map 16880 with conditions of approval, based on the
appellant's specific grounds for the appeal.
.

e
Appeal No. 05-12
Hearing Date: July 5. 2005
Page 2
The appellant disputes the revised Findings of Fact Nos. 2 and 4 (Exhibit 5 - Planning
Commission Memorandum) by explaining that the proposed lots will, in fact, have similar sizes
to the existing properties in the surrounding neighborhood. He indicates that the proposed lot
sizes will be equal or larger than most of the existing lots in the surrounding neighborhood.
Planning staff reviewed the lot sizes within a 500-foot radius of the project site, and staff
generally concurs with the appellant's analysis regarding lot sizes in the surrounding
neighborhood (see Exhibit 6 - Lot Sizes in the Vicinity). The appellant concludes that the
proposed subdivision will retain the scale and character of the surrounding neighborhood, and
will therefore be consistent with the General Plan.
The appellant also stated that the proposed subdivision had been advertised incorrectly as a
three-lot subdivision, and resulted in opposition which would not have materialized if the project
had been accurately described as a two-lot subdivision. Four of the seven opposition letters had
explained that they were opposed to the creation of three lots for future houses. Also, four of the
seven opposition letters had mentioned concerns about public safety, such as the Old Waterman
fire, and separation distance between dwelling units. However, other letters had indicated
opposition to any subdivision of the property, and staff believes that opposition would have
existed if the advertisement had correctly described the project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None. The applicant paid the processing and appeal fees.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council either:
I) Deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission denial of Tentative Parcel Map No.
16880 based upon the April 13, 2005 Memorandum to the Planning Commission; or,
2) Uphold the appeal and approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 16880 based upon the Findings of
Fact contained in the AprilS, 2005 Staff Report to the Planning Commission, subject to the

e REQUEST AND LOCATION
The project site is located on the northwest comer of the intersection at Camellia and Yucca
Drives (Attachment A-Location Map). The applicant requests approval for subdividing one
lot into two parcels for future development with single-family dwellings. The proposed Parcel
I will be 11,790-sq.ft. and Parcel 2 will be 12,400-sq.ft. (Attachment B-Site Plan).
SETTING & SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The site is vacant, generally flat, and slopes approximately 7% to the south. The surrounding
neighborhood has detached single-family residential units in the RS, Residential Suburban
land use district. The houses on the four adjacent properties to the west had been destroyed
during the Old Fire that occurred in October 2003. All of the existing parcels in the
surrounding area average between 10,000- and 12,000-sq.ft. in size.
BACKGROUND
e
The initial submittal had proposed subdividing the lot into three parcels, with minimum lot
sizes of 7,400-sq.ft. each. At the D/ERC meeting of January 13,2005, staff requested that the
applicant modify the Site Plan to indicate two new parcels with at least 10,000-sq.ft. each, so
that the new parcels would be consistent with existing lots in the surrounding neighborhood.
On February 10, 2005, the D/ERC moved the revised Site Plan to the Planning Commission.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS
I. Is Ihe proposed map consistent with the General Plan and Development Code:)
Yes, the proposed parcel map is consistent with the General Plan and Development
Code as shown in Table 'A.' The proposed parcels will meet the minimum
requirements for lot size, lot dimensions, and access.

2.
/s the design of the proposed subdivision consistent with the General Plan?
Yes, the proposed subdivision will implement and promote the policies and objectives
of the General Plan. The project is consistent with Objective 1.8, which promotes
subdivisions that retain the scale and character of existing residential neighborhoods.
The proposed subdivision will retain the scale and character of the existing
surrounding neighborhoods. The project is consistent with Policy 1.11.30, which
requires minimum lot sizes of at least 7,200 square feet.
3. Is the site physically suitable for the zvpe of proposed development?
The tentative parcel map conforms to the Development Code's subdivision design
standards for minimum lot size, lot area, and access. Both proposed lots contain
sufficient building pad areas, and future dwellings will be able to meet the required
yard setbacks. The slopes that will be constructed in the front and side yards will be
similar to the existing slopes on surrounding properties. Connecting to the existing
infrastructure will provide water, sewer, drainage, and utility services to the parcels.
The site is located within the boundaries of the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone for
known active faults. However, at least two geological reports previously produced for
adjacent properties determined that no evidence of faulting occurs in the vicinity, on
the surface or underground. Report Nos. 43 (06/24/77) and 128 (12/28/83) concluded
that no geologic features existed that would prevent development of the properties,
because the nearest active fault trace is located approximately 1,300 feet to the
northeast. The two properties evaluated by those geologic reports are located 300 and
500 feet, respectively, northwest of Tentative Parcel Map 16880. Report No. 43
referred to the location of Tentative Parcel Map 16880, by stating that the geologist
did not observe any surface disturbances in the vacant lot to the east. Therefore, staff
did not require further geotechnical analysis on the project site.
4.
/s the site physicalZI' suitable for the proposed densiZJ' of development?
Yes, the site is physically suitable for single-family dwellings. The proposed division
of land is consistent with the Subdivision Map Act, the General Plan, and the
Development Code. General Plan Policy 1.11.10 allows up to 4.5 units per acre, and
the proposed subdivision is for 3.6 units per acre. The proposed project will have a
density and physical design that will be similar to the existing single-family properties
in the surrounding area.
5
/s the design of the subdivision likely to cause substantial environmental damage. or
substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat?
No, the proposed subdivision is not likely to cause any environmental damage, and is
not likely to injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The proposed subdivision is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15315 for Minor
Land Divisions.

Meell"g Dare. April 5, 2005

6
/s the design oj the subdivision likely to cause serious public health problems /
No, the subdivision is not likely to cause serious public health or safety problems, The
location of the subdivision is not within or near any Foothill Fire Zone. However, four
homes adjacent to the project site had been destroyed during the conflagration that
occurred in October 2003. The homes that will be constructed in the future will have
fire-resistant materials, as required by the current California Building Code as well as
Chapter 15.11 (Building Safety Enhancement Area Building Standards) of the San
Bernardino Municipal Code. Implementation of these standard requirements will
lessen the likelihood of serious public health and safety problems.
Drainage for Parcel I will be conveyed in an easterly direction to Camellia Drive.
Drainage for Parcel 2 will be conveyed in a southerly direction to Yucca Drive. The
proposed drainage meets applicable engineering design requirements, and the design
will not cause public health problems for the proposed subdivision nor for adjacent
properties.
7.
Will the design oj the subdivision or the tJpe oj improvements conflict with any
easemellts, acquired by the public at large, Jor access through or use of property
within the proposed subdivision/
The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements will not conflict with
any easements. A 5-foot wide easement for public utility lines exists along the north 5
feet of Parcell, and the building pad has been designed so that it will not conflict with
that easement. All documentation relating to easements will be reviewed and approved
by the City Engineer.
CONCLUSION
The proposal meets the standards required to make the Findings of Fact for approval of
Tentative Parcel Map No. 16880.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 16880
based upon the Findings of Fact contained in the Staff Report, and subject to the Conditions
of Approval (Attachment C) and Standard Requirements (Attachment D).

RE: SUBJECT: Tentative Parcel Map. No. 16880 (Subdivision No. 04-24)
HEARING DATE & TIME: Tuesday, April 5, 2005, @ 7 p.m.
This letter is submitted IN OPPOSITION to the proposal to build 3 single family
dwellings at the northwest corner of Yucca and Camellia Drives in the RS, Residential
Suburban land use district.
My address is 3850 Camellia Drive and is the property immediately north of the lot in
question. I OPPOSE the construction of the proposed 3 single family dwellings for the
following reasons:
1) LOSS OF VALUE This neighborhood is a low density home area with "ESTATE SIZE"
lots. I bought by home speCifically because of the considerable distance between
homes due to low density housing. The value of my home will be diminished with
the proposed change.
2) LOSS OF PRIVACY. The Del Rosa Estates development is a quiet neighborhood of
singie family dwellings. I do not want 3 homes built immediately south of my house
where only one home stood when I bought into this neighborhood.
3) LOSS OF PEACE OF MIND. My home was purchased 9/4/03 and is one of the very
few homes that escaped the "Old Fire" catastrophe (10/03). My home is my DREAM
HOME and is where I plan to retire. I am a single person who has worked my entire
life to secure a home with property. I am not wealthy and am in no position to
move.
4) PEOPLE AND TRAFFIC CONGESTION. The subject lot has had 1 single family
dwelling since the development of Del Rosa Estates. Approval of building 3 single
family dwellings increases traffic and noise pollution times three.
.
.
.
lm
.
e
I've watched my neighbors rebuild their homes that were lost in the "Old Fire". Please
consider the reasons the burned out neighbors have returned. The Del Rosa Estates
neighborhood is a jewel both to those of us who have homes here and for the City of San
Bernardino. I have no desire to retain counsel to block this proposal by means of
litigation. My home is my only asset. I will fight legally against this proposal on my own
or with my neighbors.
The City of San Bernardino has many lots available for a developer who wishes to build
high density housing. I ask that you do not approve the proposed request to subdivide
this lot so the developer can get rich while destroying my neighborhood. My investment,
my peace of mind and my privacy will be forever lost.
Thank you for considering the views of this homeowner.
Sincerely,
Nancy Johnson

. Specific action being appealed and the date of that action:
Findings No.2 and 4 of the Planning Commission Report dated April 13, 2005 for
Tentative Parcel Map No. 16880 (Subdivision No. 04-24) that states that the proposed
subdivision will not be retain the scale and character of the existing residential
neighborhood and not be suitable for two single-family lots.
Specific grounds for the appeal:
There is a recent re-subdivision of lots in the same block as Tentative Parcel Map No.
16880 at the comer of 39th Street and Camellia Drive which has subdivided two existing
lots into three lots, one of which is smaller than the two proposed in this application.
There are five other lots that are 14,625 square feet which are much closer to the size of
the two proposed lots than the remaining six lots in the block that average about 19,500
square feet.
In the block directly south of the proposed subdivision, nine lots average 9, I 00 square
feet and eight lots average 11,000 square feet, all of which are the same size or smaller
than the proposed lots.
.
In the block directly to the southeast of the proposed subdivision you [md the same
pattern, nine lots averaging 9,600 square feet and eight lots averaging 11,000 square feet.
Addressing the concern raised during the Planning Commission Hearing, the possibility
for several future subdivisions of the same nature as the one proposed in Tentative Parcel
Map No. 16880 does not exist. There are no other lots, out of the 60 lots that exist within
500 feet of the project site, that can be subdivided and still meet the all of the existing
minimum lot dimension and acreage requirements. This is the only lot that can and does
meet the minimum city requirements in the area.
Action Sought:
That Tentative Parcel Map No. 16880 be approved for a two-parcel subdivision as
submitted.
Additional Information:
The applicant believes that if the City would have advertised the proposed subdivision
correctly as a two-parcel division, instead of incorrectly as a three-parcel division, the
public comments about the proposed subdivision would have been drastically minimized.

To:
Planning Conunission
Brian Foote, Assistant Planner V
From:
Subject:
Agenda Item No. I - Tentative Parcel Map No. 16880 (Subdivision No. 04-
24)
Date:
April 13, 2005
Copies:
James FWlk, Director, Development Services; Henry Empefto, Deputy City
Attorney
At the Planning Conunission hearing of AprilS, 2005, staff presented the proposed Tentative
Parcel Map No. 16880 Findings and a recommendation for approval. The Planning
Conunission discussed the merits of the project and stated concerns about suitability of the site
for the proposed subdivision. The Planning Conunission stated their intent to deny the
application and continued the item to April 19, 2005, for staff to return with revised findings
for denial.
Two Findings of Fact contained in the Staff Report have been modified, per the Planning
Conunission discussion of the proposed subdivision at the AprilS, 2005, Planning
Conunission hearing. As modified, Findings Nos. 2 and 4 cannot be made. According to
Section 19.66.150(3) of the Development Code, the proposed subdivision must be denied if all
of the Findings of Fact cannot be made.
RECOMMEl'Il>A nON
That the Planning Conunission deny Tentative Parcel Map No. 16880 (Subdivision No. 04-
24) based on the Findings of Fact contained in this rnemorandwn.

EXHIBIT 5 - PLANNING COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
1.
Is the proposed map consistelll with the General Plan and Developmelll Code?
Yes, the proposed parcel map is consistent with the General Plan and Development
Code as shown in Table 'A.' The proposed parcels will meet the minimum
requirements for lot size, lot dimensions, and access.
TABLE 'A' - DEVELOPMENT CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE
CATEGORY PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT CODE GENERAL PLAN
Permitted Use Single- family parcels Permitted Consistent
Lot Area 11,790 square feet (min.) 7,200 square feet (min.) nla
Lot Width 95 feet (min.) 60 feet (interior lots) I nla
66 feet (comer lots)
Lot Depth 123 feet (min.) 100 feet nla
Lot Coverage n/a 35 % (max.) nla
2 standard means of access
Access 2 existing public streets n/a
2. Is the design of the proposed subdivision consistelll with the General Plan?
No, the proposed subdivision will not be consistent with all of the policies and
objectives contained in the General Plan. The project is not consistent with Objective
1.8, which requires subdivisions to retain the scale and character of existing residential
neighborhoods. Existing parcels to the north (on the same block) and to the east
average between 1/3- and y,-acre each. Therefore, the proposal will not retaii1 the scale
and character of the properties that are adjacent to the proposed subdivision.
3. Is the site physically suitablefor the type of proposed development?
The tentative parcel map conforms to the Development Code's subdivision design
standards for minimum lot size, lot area, and access. Both proposed lots contain
sufficient building pad areas, and future dwellings will be able to meet the required
yard setbacks. The slopes that will be constructed in the front and side yards will be
similar to the existing slopes on surrounding properties. Connecting to the existing
infrastructure will provide water, sewer, drainage, and utility services to the parcels.

EXHIBIT 5 - PLANNING COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
The site is located within the boundaries of the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone for
kno\'/I1 active faults. However, at least two geological reports previously produced for
adjacent properties detennined that no evidence of faulting occurs in the vicinity, on
the surface or underground. Report Nos. 43 (06/24/77) and 128 (12/28/83) concluded
that no geologic features existed that would prevent development of the properties,
because the nearest active fault trace is located approximately 1,300 feet to the
northeast. The two properties evaluated by those geologic reports are located 300 and
500 feet, respectively, northwest of Tentative Parcel Map 16880. Report No. 43
referred to the location of Tentative Parcel Map 16880, by stating that the geologist
did not observe any surface disturbances in the vacant lot to the east. Therefore, staff
did not require further geotechnical analysis on the project site.
4.
Is the site physical~y suitable for the proposed density of development?
No, the site is not physically suitable for two single-family lots. The proposed
subdivision would create two lots that would be approximately half the size of existing
parcels on the same block. Therefore, the proposed subdivision will not have a density
and physical design that would be compatible with adjacent properties on the same
block.
5.
Is the design of the subdivision likely to cause substantial environmental damage, or
substantially and unavoidably injure fISh or wildlife or their habitat?
No, the proposed subdivision is not likely to cause any environmental damage, and is
not likely to injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The proposed subdivision is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15315 for Minor
Land Divisions.
6.
Is the design of the subdivision likely to cause serious public health problems?
No, the subdivision is not likely to cause serious public health or safety problems. The
location of the subdivision is not within or near any Foothill Fire Zone. However, four
homes adjacent to the project site had been destroyed during the conflagration that
occurred in October 2003. The homes that will be constructed in the future will have
fire-resistant materials, as required by the current California Building Code as well as
Chapter 15.11 (Building Safety Enhancement Area Building Standards) of the San
Bernardino Municipal Code. Implementation of these standard requirements will
lessen the likelihood of serious public health and safety problems.
Drainage for Parcel I will be conveyed in an easterly direction to Camellia Drive.
Drainage for Parcel 2 will be conveyed in a southerly direction to Yucca Drive. The
proposed drainage meets applicable engineering design requirements, and the design
will not cause public health problems for the proposed subdivision nor for adjaCent
properties.

Wtll the design of the subdil'lSlO1l or the "'pe o( Impro\'emeIlfS cOIl/irer \I1!i1 (Iii,'
easements, acqllIred by the public at large, for access through or use of property
with ill the proposed subdivision?
The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements will not conflict with
any easements, A 5-foot wide easement for public utility lines exists along the norih 5
feet of Parcel I. and the building pad has been designed so that it will not conflict with
that easement. All documentation relating to easements will be reviewed and appro"cd
by the City Engineer.
