dwelling units per acre to R-1-7200 Single-Family

nance.
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
Frank Schuma, Planning Director, gave the Planning Report
regarding all Planning Commission matters of the meeting of
4t December 21, 1982. The following recommendation was made:
- 9 -
1/4/83
.
.
.
That the amendment to the San Bernardino Municipal
Code, Chapter 19.08, revising the minimum develop-
ment criteria for the R-l Single-Family Residential
zone, including provisions for 6,000 square foot
lots, be recommended for approval with wording as
noted in the memorandum to the Planning Commission
dated December 21, 1982 as follows:
(27)
The major changes which are proposed from the current
ordinance pertain to the minimum lot size from 7,200
square feet to 6,000 square feet, front and rear yard
setbacks, the establishment of a minimum square foot-
age for single-family residences, and modification to
permitted accessory uses and structures.
Michael Murphy of 671 North "D" Street, questioned the mini-
mum size of a house under this proposal which would be 950 square
feet and how this provision would be affected by SB 1160 adopted
in September of 1981 which provides for "granny housing" of 650
square feet.
.
Frank Schuma, Planning Director, explained that the State
law is permissive, therefore, not mandatory, and that this action
would not conflict with State provisions on "granny units". The
City has no provisions for any type of "granny units".
Rod Placencia of Arben Engineering, 255 North "D" Street,
stated he would like more time to review the proposed amendment
to the Municipal Code.
Planning Director Schuma answered questions stating that the
Planning Commission had held two hearings and notifications had
been provided as required.
Mayor Holcomb stressed the need for public notification and
asked for architectural control to protect the value of surround-
ing property.
The Planning Director answered questions regarding the open
space requirement of the planned unit development ordinance and
stated the present Municipal Code does not prescribe a minimum
square foot size for housing.
.
Council Member Marks made a motion, seconded by Council Mem-
ber Hernandez, that the proposed amendment be referred to the
Legislative Review Committee.
The motion carried by
Members Reilly, Hernandez,
Council Member Castaneda.

APPEAL HEARING - VARIANCE NO. 82-18 - SOUTH SIDE OF
HOSPITALITY LANE AND WATERMAN AVENUE - McKENZIE
A letter dated December 8, 1982 was received from Ronald
McKenzie of Heath and Company, appealing the Planning Commission's
decision of denial of Variance No. 82-18. The Variance would
allow the installation of a sign which exceeds the maximum area
and height requirements of the C-3A Limited General Commercial
zone on property located on the south side of Hospitality Lane
and Waterman Avenue. (28)
A representative from Heath and Company stated that there
are actually two signs for two parcels but on one pole at a
height of 55 feet.
.
It was explained that the maximum height permitted by the
sign ordinance is 40 feet and that the total square footage of
the sign requested exceeds the standards set forth in the ordi-
nance.

.
.
Ron Hellis of Pastry Food Services and the owner of Barry's
Delicatessen, stated that a 40 foot sign is not an adequate height
for the off-ramp for the Waterman Avenue exit off of Interstate
10 and requested two 50 foot high signs on one pole.
Frank Schuma, Planning Director, answered questions stating
that approval could have a detrimental effect on other property
owners in the area as their signs have been limited and if the
Council grants approval, they will have to make findings of fact
that the variance has been granted due to the uniqueness of the
property.
Mr. Hellis stated they will be willing to reduce the face of
the sign but not the height.
Mayor Holco~ suggested that the matter be continued to see
whether or not Caltrans will trim the shrubs that would block
the view of a 40 foot sign.
Council Me~er Quiel made a motion, seconded by Council Mem-
ber Marks, that the appeal be continued to Monday, January 17,
1983, at 2:00 p.m., in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 300
North "D" Street, San Bernardino, California.

FOURTH AND "E" STREETS PROPERTY
Mayor Holcomb stated that the Closed Session pertained to
litigation now pending on Agency property sold to Mr. Frank
Dominguez at Fourth and "E" Streets.
The Mayor presented a letter dated January 4, 1983 from H.
Frank Dominguez of the Vanir Research Company, which states that
a check in the amount of $68,216.16 has been submitted for the
payment in full of the note and deed of trust and full satisfac-
tion of the Disposition and Development Agreement dated February
5. 1979 with the Agency for property at Fourth and "E" Streets.
Mr. Dominguez set forth in his letter several proposed solutions
for the parking difficulties within the block of Fourth and "E"
Streets.
Mayor Holcomb stated that the City has discussed relieving
Mr. Dominguez of build-out requirements on the property at Fourth
and "E" Streets if Mr. Dominguez will agree to stipulate that the
assessed value of the Penney's Building is $3,000,000 or more.
This action will result in a temporary solution to the downtown
parking problem by causing the Fourth and "E" Streets property
to remain as a parking lot.
Mr. Dominguez stated that he understood the City's offer
and that he will accept a valuation of at least $3,000,000 on the
Penney's Building and that he understands that the assessments
will increase by two percent per year, which is the normal in-
crease.
Harold Hoffman, owner of property at 470 North "E" Street,
presented a letter dated December 28, 1982, recommending that the
Parking District be paid in cash the full amount due for the park-
ing deficiencies for the former Penney Building and that the Park-
ing District purchase the existing unimproved land included in the
block bordered by "E" and "F" Streets and between Fourth and Fifth
Streets. Also, that these lots be improved to provide parking for
future growth.
A letter dated December 30, 1982 was received from Dale A.
Vander Tuig, owner of the Bible Supply Center at 470 North "E"
Street, regarding insufficient parking in the downtown area.
Council Member Quiel made a motion, seconded by Council Mem-
ber Castaneda, to authorize the Mayor to accept Mr. Dominguez's
check in the amount of $68,000 as payment in full of the encum-
brances on the Fourth and "E" Street property and determine as
a matter of record that Mr. Dominguez is excused from all build-
out requirements on the Fourth and "E" Street property and on
the small lot next to Penney's (the vacant lot south of the
Penney's building) on the condition that Mr. Dominguez stipulate
in writing that the minimum assessed valuation for tax increment
purposes is $3,000,000 on the Penney's building.
The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council
Members Castaneda, Reilly, Hernandez, Quiel, Hobbs, Strickler.
Noes: Council Member Marks. Absent: None.

A memorandum dated January 3, 1983 was received from Council
Member Marks requesting that the City Administrator provide the

Mayor Holcomb opposed the request as being premature.

the budget is maintained on a monthly basis and that he can pre-
pare an analysis indicating where the City stands with regards

directed to prepare and present a midyear budget review for the
budget year 1982-83 with input from department members as required.
The Mayor and Common Council discussed the motion.
City Administrator Matzer explained what would be included
in the analysis and how it would be prepared.
Council Member Quiel made a substitute motion, seconded by
Council Member Hobbs, to direct the City Administrator to prepare
a summary of the budget through December 31, 1982 to be submitted
to the Council no later than January 20, 1983, and that the
matter be discussed at the February 7, 1983 Council meeting to
