Applicant:
Ivano Stamegna

BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting that the Mayor and Common Council approve Development Code
Amendment No. 03-05 to modify Chapter 19.04, Section 19.04.030 (2) (N), Planned Residential
Development (PRD) to allow 15% open space in lieu of the required 30% if single family
detached units are built instead of multi-family units. The proposed amendment is applicable
within the RU, Residential Urban land use districts subject to the proposed provisions in the text.
Also requested for approval are Tentative Tract Map No. 16757 to create a I-lot condominium
subdivision and Development Permit III No. 03-52 to construct 54 detached single family
condominium units with a minimum unit size of 1,872 square feet. The project site is located on
the southeast comer of Meridian and Rialto Avenues in the RU-l, Residential Urban land use
district (Exhibit 1).
Please refer to the Planning Commission Staff Report (Exhibit 2) for additional discussion.
Attachment C to the Planning Commission Staff Report outlines the proposed Development
Code Amendment changes.
At their meeting of May 18,2004, the Planning Commission opened the public hearing and
received public testimony on this matter. After considerable discussion, the Planning
Commission made a motion to recommend approval of Development Code Amendment No.
03-05, Tentative Tract Map No. 16757 and Development Permit III No. 03-52.
Commissioners Brown, Coute, Durr, Enciso, Heasley, Morris, Sauerbrun and Thrasher voted
8 to 0 in support of the proposals.
Although the Planning Commission voted in support of the proposals, the Commission
expressed a few concerns as follows:
DCA03-05mM16757/DPll103-52
May 26, 2004
Page 2
1) The Planning Commission was concerned that approval of this amendment could allow
other residential projects to reduce the required amount of open space.
The proposed amendment will reduce the amount of open space from 30% to 15% for
Planned Residential Developments if the developer elects to construct single-family
detached units. The amendment will apply only within the RU, Residential Urban, land
use district. The amendment is designed to promote detached single-family homes.
Although the amendment will modify the open space requirement, the proposal provides
each condominium unit will its own private backyard. The common areas (streets, front
yards, and other amenities) will be maintained by the homeowners association.
2) The site is adjacent to a flood control channel and train tracks. The Planning Commission
felt that the noise activity from the train and proximity to a flood control channel could
pose some health and safety concerns for the residents.
The homes are setback 55 feet from the flood control channel. The setback at 55 feet is
further than the required setback of 50 feet by the Flood Control District. Furthermore,
the project applicant is working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
to reclassify the project site from a Flood Zone X [(shaded) areas of 5OD-year flood] to a
Flood Zone X (areas determined to be outside 500-year floodplain) area. This
reclassification process will require the project applicant to raise the project site/pad
elevation to a higher level to comply with FEMA standards. This reclassification process
will allow the project site to be removed from the Federal Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) as a designated Flood Zone X (shaded) and exempt the homeowners from buying
flood insurance.
The homes are setback 105 feet from the train tracks. In addition, an acoustical analysis
for noise was prepared for the proposal. The proposed project will comply with the
recommendation in the acoustical analysis to construct a B-foot sound wall (split face or
slump stone block type) to mitigate the noise impact.
Additionally, the Planning Commission made a minor modification to the conditions of
approval to require that the B-foot sound wall along the southerly property boundary to
incorporate a "fluted" block type. This modification will enhance the B-foot sound wall
for noise reduction and sound absorption to further lessen the noise impact associated with
rail activities.
DCA03-05mMI6757/DPll103-52
May 26, 2004

3) The Planning Commission wanted to ensure that there would be adequate parking for
visitors and guests.
The proposal will be a gated community with a 32-foot private street layout to allow off-
street parking on one side of the street. Also, each detached condominium unit has an
attached 2-car garage with a minimum 20-foot driveway to allow additional parking in front
of the garage. The proposal provides adequate off-street parking for visitors and guests.
4) Since the grade elevation on Rialto Avenue was slightly higher than the project site, the
Planning Commission was concerned that on-site drainage on Rialto Avenue could be
detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
An on-site hydrology report was prepared for the proposal. Drainage from Rialto Avenue
would be routed underground between two homes in the project, follow the interior streets
of the project, and finally flow into the flood control channel. The drainage study for the
proposal is adequate to handle the anticipated drainage on Rialto Avenue. The proposed
project would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or
welfare of the City.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None. The applicant paid the Development Code Amendment, Tentative Tract Map and
Development Permit III filing fees.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Mayor and Common Council close the hearing and that the ordinance be laid over for
final adoption and Tentative Tract Map No. 16757 and Development Permit III No. 03-52 be
approved based upon the Findings of Fact contained in the Planning Commission Staff Report
subject to the Conditions of Approval and Standard Requirements (Exhibit 2).

REQUEST AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A request for approval of Development Code Amendment No. 03-05 to modify Chapter 19.04,
Section 19.04.030 (2) (N), Planned Residential Development (PRD) to allow 15% open space
in lieu of the required 30 % if single family detached units are built instead of multi-family
units. Also requested are Tentative Tract Map No. 16757 under the authority of Development
Code Section 19.66.070 to create a I-lot condominium subdivision on a 9. 15-acre parcel and
Development Permit No. 03-52 under the authority of Development Code Section 19.04.020,
Table 04.01 (C) to construct 54 detached single family condominium units with a minimum
unit size of 1,872 square feet. The project site is located on the southeast comer of Meridian
and Rialto Avenues in the RU-l, Residential Urban land use district (Attachment A).
Development Code, Chapter 19.04.030(2)(N), requires that all PRD developments with 12 or
more dwelling units provide 30% useable open space for passive and active recreational uses.
The 30% useable open space requirement has imposed development limitation for many PRD
projects within the RU land use districts. Specifically, the proposed amendment will modify
Chapter 19.04, Section 19.04.030 (2) (N), to allow PRD developments consisting of detached
single-family units to provide 15 % useable open space in lieu of the required 30%. This
amendment is designed to promote detached single-family homes and home ownership
opportunities for residents within the City.
The Tentative Tract Map will create a I-lot condominium subdivision on a 9. 15-acre parcel.
The detached single-family condominium units will have individnal ownership but the common
areas including landscaping, easements for the driveways, streets and utilities are owned,
controlled and maintained through an organization consisting of all individual owners that are
governed by Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions (CC&R's). The CC&R's place
limitations and requirements on all detached single-family condominium units and are intended
to protect the individual condominium owners regarding construction, maintenance of
buildings, common areas and utilities.
The project site has been designed with 54 detached single-family units within a 9. 15-acre
parcel. The main entrance will be on Meridian Avenue. The entry driveway will be gated
with a right turn exit on Rialto Avenue. The proposed project will be constructed in one phase
and will provide 16% (1.17 acres) of open space area including a clubhouse, pool, tot lot and
other amenities. A 6-foot decorative block wall will be constructed along the westerly and
northerly property lines. A 13-foot high block wall will be constructed along the southerly
property line as a sound wall. On-site drainage will drain to Rialto and Meridian Avenues.
The proposal offers a 2-story housing style with 4 different model plans. Each model plan
offers 2 variations of finishes that include a Spanish and Craftsman look for a total of 8 variety
choices. The RU-l district allows a maximum density of 8 units per gross acre. The proposal
will result in a density of 5.9 units per gross acre. Although the RU-l district allows multi-
family development, the proposed project is for detached single-family homes.

The homes are wood-frame/smcco construction with concrete tile roofs. Architecmral
treatments include variations in roof style, front entry projection and garage door designs. The
homes include window treatments, metal roll up garage doors and fully landscaped front-yards
for all the houses.
SETI'ING/SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The project site is currently vacant and is located within the west side neighborhood of the City
of San Bernardino. The site is approximately 2.4 miles west of the 1-215 Freeway and is
characterized by older single family homes developed in the 1950's and 1960's. Surrounding
the site to the north and west are residential neighborhoods in the RU-l, Residential Urban
land use district and to the east and south are single-family residential neighborhood in the RS,
Residential Suburban land use district.
BACKGROUND
The Development/Environmental Review Committee (D/ERC) initially reviewed the proposal
on January 22, 2004. The D/ERC determined that the tract map required revisions to address
the layout, setbacks, open space and other matters relating to subdivision requirements. On
March 18, 2004, the D/ERC heard the proposal again and determined that the tract map has
incorporated the D/ERC's previous comments and that the Initial Smdy prepared for the
proposal adequately addressed the environmental issues. Based on this, the D/ERC
recommended that the Initial Smdy with the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration be
circulated for a 20-day public review beginning on March 25,2004 and ending on April 13,
2004. No comments were received from the public on the Initial Smdy. On April 15, 2004,
the D/ERC determined that the proposed Initial Smdy adequately addressed the environmental
issues and recommended that the proposal be moved to Planning Commission for
consideration.

FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS
DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT
1. Is the proposed amendment consistent with the General Plan?
Yes, the proposal is consistent with the General Plan goal and policy:
General Plan Goal 2A states: "Facilitate the development of a variety of types of
housing to meet the needs of all income levels in the City of San Bernardino."
General Plan Policy 2.1.1 states: "Accommodate the production of new housing units
on currently vacant or underutilized land at densities and standards designated in the
Land Use Element of the General Plan."
The proposed amendment will allow Chapter 19.04 to be modified to facilitate the
development of this site with detached single-family homes. Generally, local
government has the ability to affect the supply, and cost of housing through their
actions and policies. Based on this, it is anticipated that this amendment will create an
incentive measure that the City can use to promote development of detached single-
family homes and home ownership opportunities for residents within the City.
Specially, this amendment will modify Development Code Section 19.04.030(2)(N) to
allow 15% open space in lieu of the required 30% if detached single-family units are
built instead of multi-family units.
2. Would the proposed amendment be detrimental to the public interest, health,
safety, convenience, or welfare of the City?
No, the proposed amendment is modifying the text to create an incentive for
development of detached single-family homes. The proposed amendment does not
change the RU district design standards nor does it modify the requirement for a
Development Permit. This proposal will be in the public interest and welfare of the
City in that it will create an incentive to promote detached single-family homes and
home ownership opportunities for residents within the City.
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP
1. Is the proposed rruJp consistent with the General Plan?
Yes, the proposed map is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code as
shown in Table A below. The RU, Residential Urban land use district allows single-
family and multi-family residential units at a maximum density of 8 units per gross
acre. The proposal is for detached single-family development at 5.9 units per gross
acre. See Table "A" below:

2. Is the design of the proposed subdivision consistent with the General Plan?
Yes, the proposal is consistent with the objective of the General Plan as follows:
General Plan Objective 1.12 states: "Permit the development of single-family
detached units, mobile home parks, small lot single-family unit subdivisions,
and multi-family units at a density of up to 8 units per gross acre and height of
two stories and loft (35 feet) in areas designated as "Residential Urban" (RU-I
and RU-2).
The proposed tract complies with Development Code requirements and will enhance the
existing residential development surrounding the site. The development of the site with
detached single-family condominium units will be compatible with the existing single-
family detached residential development to the north, south, east and west. The
proposed tract has been designed to incorporate private recreational opportunities with
pedestrian and walking trials and other amenities that will support and achieve a high
quality of life for the City residents in this area.
3. Is the site physically suitable for the type of proposed development?
Yes, the site is physically suitable for the proposed development in that the division of
land is consistent with the Subdivision Map Act. The tentative tract map conforms to
the subdivision design standards specified by the Development Code in that it can
accommodate the 54 detached homes and open space as addressed in the Findings of
Fact in the Development Permit Type III. All of the proposed units will have access to
a dedicated roadway and infrastructure that will provide water, sewer, power, gas,
telephone, and cable to the site.
DCA No. 03-05
T.T.M No. 16757
DP111 No. 03-53
Page 6
4. Is the site physically suitable for the proposed density of development?
Yes, the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development in that the
division of land is consistent with the Subdivision Map Act and the proposed
subdivision is consistent with the RU, Residential Urban development standards. The
proposed density at 5.9 units per gross acre is lower than that of the RU district
requirements at 8.0 units per gross acre.
Although the project site is located in the RU district that allows multi-family units, the
proposal has been designed with detached "single-family" concept layout. In
accordance with General Plan Objective 1.12 above, the proposed development is lower
in density at 7.84 from 8 as permitted by the Code.
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, Planning staff prepared an Initial Study to determine the presence and extent of any
environmental issues that could result from the Development Code, Tentative Tract
Map, and Development Permit Type III. The site is not located within the biological
sensitive and geological hazards areas. Based on this, no issues were identified that
would result in an impact on the environment. Furthermore, hydrology and traffic
studies were prepared for the proposal. These reports concluded that development of
this site would not create significant impacts that could not be mitigated. In addition,
the Mitigation Monitoring Plan /Reporting Plan for the Initial Study includes action
measures to properly mitigate and monitor any potential significant negative impacts
relating to development and construction of this site (Attachment F).
6. Is the design of the subdivision likely to cause serious public health problems?
No, all proposed development pads and units will have access to a dedicated street.
The design of the proposed subdivision meets all of the applicable requirements for the
RU land use district. Furthermore, the circulation layout has been reviewed by the
City Engineer and designed to accommodate the type of traffic forecast to be generated
by the proposed subdivision and is unlikely to result in any serious public health
problems.
7. Will the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements conflict with any
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property
within the proposed subdivision?
No, the easements identified in the Preliminary Title Report relate to electrical lines and
other utilities. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements will not
conflict with these easements, because any existing easements would be abandoned or
relocated as determined by the Public Works/Engineering Division through processing
of the Final Map.

greenbelts, consistent and well-designed street signage, entry signage or monument,
community amenities (such as clubhouse, swinnning pools, tennis courts, health club,
etc.), and similar uses. "
The proposal is for PRD development with detached single-family condominium units
The proposed project will provide 1.17 acres (16%) of open space area that include
a clubhouse, pool, tot lot and other amenities.
3. Is the proposed development harmonious and compatible with existing and future
developments within the land use district and general area, as well as the land uses
presently on the subject propeny ?
Yes, the proposed project is consistent with the residential character of the surrounding
land uses as well as future residential development. The proposed single-family units
are compatible with the existing single-family units in this area. The residential
character of the proposed development is similar to that of recently completed single-
family homes in this neighborhood.
The home designs and treatment elements are designed to compliment the neighboring
single-family structures. Architectural treatments include variations in roof style, entry
area and garage door designs. All windows and doors and side and rear elevations will
be architecturally treated.

Specifically, Section 19.04.030(2)(N), will be modified as follows:
N.
PLANNED RESIDENTIAL
SUBDIVISIONS
DEVELOPMENT/SMALL
LOT
Planned Residential Development (PRO) including Clustered Subdivision and
Small Lot Divisions are permitted in Residential Urban land use districts subject
to Development Permit review. Attached and detached single-family dwelling
units are permitted. The purpose of allowing these types of developments is to
promote residential amenities beyond those expected in conventional residential
developments, to achieve greater flexibility in design, to encourage well planned
neighborhood through creative and imaginative planning as a unit, to provide for
appropriate use of land which is sufficiently unique in its physical characteristics
or other circumstances to warrant special methods of development, to reduce
development problems in hillside areas and to preserve areas of natural scenic
beauty through the encouragement of integrated planning and design.
-'" -":~'.
:.'~;~:::~-
O!:-';"~;
1.
Density
The underlying residential land use district or the Hillside Management
Overlay District shall determine the maximum number of dwelling units
allowed in a PRO or Small Lot Subdivision. Where a parcel or parcels
have more than one land use district, the maximum number of dwelling
units shall be determined by adding together the allowable density for
each land use district area. Density transfer throughout the PRO project
area is permitted for the promotion of clustering units in those areas
suited to development, and thus preserving the open space and natural
features of the site. (See Hillside Management Overlay District for
restrictions to on-site density transfer.)
2. Minimum Lot Size
The minimum lot size for a detached single-family unit in a Small Lot
Subdivision shall be 5,000 square feet. PRD's may create lot sizes to
accommodate the creation of attached single-family dwelling units or
Clustered Subdivisions.

StrucUJres shall not occupy more than 40% of the gross site area.
4. Structure Hei2ht/Number of Attached Dwellin2 Units
Detached single-family strucUJres shall not exceed 21/2 stories, or 35 feet.
Attached single-family strucUJres shall not exceed 3 stories or 42 feet.
The maximum average number of single-family units attached in any
manner to form a single strucUJre shall be 6.
5. Setbacks
The minimum front, rear, and side strucUJral setback from the project
perimeter boundary shall be 15 feet. The minimum dwelling unit side
strucUJral setback from other dwelling unit strucUJres is 15 feet plus 1
foot for each 15 feet of strucUJre length. In small lot subdivisions the
minimum side setback is 5 feet with a 15-foot minimum dwelling unit
separation.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the preparation of an Initial Study when a
proposal must obtain discretionary approval from a governmental agency and is not exempt from CEQA.
The purpose of the Initial Study is to determine whether or not a proposal, not exempt from CEQA, qualifies
for a Negative Declaration or whether or not an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be prepared.

7. Description of Project (Describe the whole action involved, including but not limited to later phases
of the project, and any secondary, support, or off-site features necessary for its implementation.):
The proposed project consists of the following components: a Development Code Amendment (DCA)
to amend Development Code to allow 15% open space in lieu of the required 30% if single family
detached units are built instead of multi-family units, a Development Permit Type III (DPIII) to
construct 54 detached single-family residences with a minimum size of 1,862 square feet,and a
Tentative Tract Map for a condominium subdivision on a 9.\5 acre parcel. The project site is located
on the southeast comer of Meridian and Rialto Avenues.
Specifically, the Development Code Amendment will modify Development Code Sections
19.04.030(2)(N) and 19.04.030(2)(N)(6) to promote detached single-family home and home
ownership opportunity, subject to the approval of the Planning Commission, all detached dweIling
units may provide 15% useable open space for passive and active recreational uses in lieu of the 30"10.
This DCA will promote home ownership opportunity for residents within the City.
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVICES
INITIAL STUDY
The Development Permit Type III will allow construction of 54 detached single-family residences.
The proposal will result in a density of 7.84 units per gross acre. The RU-I district allows a
maximum density of 8 units per gross acre. The units range from a minimum size of 1,862 square feet
to 2,696 square feet. The proposed project offers a I to 2-story housing style with 4 different model
plans. Each model plan offers 2 variations of finishes that includes a Spanish and Craftsman look for
a total of 8 variety choices. The homes are wood-frame/stucco construction with concrete tile roofs.
Architectural treatments include variations in roof style, front entry projection and garage door
designs. The homes include window treatments, metal roll up garage doors and fully landscaped
front-yards for all the houses. A 6-foot vinyl fence will be constructed between each house.
The home composition layouts are as follows:
Plan A is approximately 2,696 square feet (living area) with a 2-car garage (400 square feet).
Plan B is approximately 1,862 square feet (living area) with a 2-car garage (400 square feet).
Plan C is approximately 2,081 square feet (living area) with a 2-car garage (400 square feet).
Plan D is approximately 2,529 square feet (living area) with a 2-car garage (400 square feet).
The Tentative Tract Map will create a I-lot condominium subdivision on a 9.15 acre parcel. The
detached single-family condominium units will have individual ownership but the common areas
including landscaping, easements for the driveway, street and utilities are owned, controlled and
maintained through an organization consisting of all individual owners that are governed by
Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions (CC&R's). The CC&R's place limitations and requirements
on all detached single-family condominium' units and are intended to protect the individual
condominium owners regarding construction, maintenance of buildings, common areas and utilities.
The project site is relatively flat and vacant. The proposed project has been designed with 47 detached
single-family units located along the westerly, northerly and southerly project boundary and 7 units
located in the center of the site. Then main entrance will be on Meridian A venue. The entry driveway
will be gated with a right turn exit on Rialto A venue. The proposed project will be constructed in one
phase and will provide 16% (1.17 acres) of open space area to include a club house, pool, tot lot and
other amenities. A 6-foot decorative block wall will be constructed along the westerly and northerly
property line. A 13-foot high block wall within 100 feet of the AT&SF railroad tracks will be
constructed along the southerly property line as sound wall. On-site drainage will drain to Rialto and
Meridian Avenues.
8. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The project site is located within the west side neighborhood
of the City of San Bernardino. The site is approximately 2.4 miles west of the 1-215 Freeway and is
characterized by older single family homes developed in the late 1940's and the 1950's. Surrounding
the site to the north and west are residential neighborhood in the RU-l, Residential Urban land use
district and to the east and south are single-family residential neighborhood in the RS, Residential
Suburban land use district. Table 1 identifies surrounding land use and zoning.

DISCUSSION OF IMPACT LEVELS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
I. LAND USE PLANNING
a) The project site is located within the City of San Bernardino General Plan and Zoning
Designation of RU-I, Residential Urban, which allows the proposed use through a Tentative
Tract Map as proposed by this application. The site is not located within any specific plan.
The Development Code Amendment will not change the land use designation. thus no
impacts are anticipated.
b) The project does not lie within the boundaries or the vicinity of the Air Installation Compatible
Land Use Zoning District Map, thus no impacts are anticipated.
c) The project site does not lie within the boundaries of the Foothill Fire Zones thus no impact
is anticipated.
II. POPULATION AND HOUSING
a) The site is currently vacant causing no housing to be displaced.
.-.'r::.
_';;:i.":;...."": .~
>J;~:~,.-
b & c) The proposed project is a Tentative Tract Map for condominium subdivision development that
will result in the addition of 54 new single-family homes to the area. Roads and infrastructure
are already in place to serve the area. -'The proposed development proposes a gross density of
7.8 dwelling units per acre, which is conjiistent with the General Plan Residential Urban land
use designation, which allows 8 dwelling units per acre. Payment of development impact fees
will mitigate the cumulative impacts to roads and infrastructure. The project will not induce
growth since the majority of the surrounding land uses are currently developed with single-
family residential land uses. Thus no impact is anticipated.
III.
EARTH RESOURCES
alb) The site is relatively flat. No portion of the site exceeds 15% slope, and no cut or fill is
proposed on slopes with greater than 15% slope, thus no impact is anticipated.
c) The proposed project does have a potentially significant impact for erosion, dust or unstable
soil conditions during site grading and construction. The project contractor will be required
to comply with the requirements of The City of San Bernardino and to the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The Earth Resources (ER) mitigation measures at
the end of this section will ensure that the project will have a less than significant impact on
erosion, dust and unstable soils.
d) The project site is not located within the boundaries of the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone
as defined by Figure 47 of the City's General Plan. No impact is anticipated.
d) The proposed project site does not contain any unique geologic or physical features based
upon a field review, thus no impact is anticipated.
16
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVICES
INITIAL STUDY
e) The project site is not located within an area known to be prone to high winds and wind
erosion as identified in Section 12.0-Geologic & Seismic, Figure 53, of the City's General
Plan. No impact is anticipated.
f) The project site does not lie within areas identified as having a high potential for wind or water
erosion of soil (Figure 53 of the City's General Plan). The proposed project will have little
or no potential to generate dust or to increase erosion. This is based on the fact that the site
will be hard surfaced (paving, hard-pack or houses) or landscaped. Drainage facilities will be
constructed to carry storm water from the site to existing storm drains that currently serve the
area. No impact is anticipated.
g) The project site is not located within an area subject to landslides, mudslides, subsidence, or
other similar hazards according to Section 12-Geologic & Seismic, Figures 48, 51, 52, and 53
of the City's General Plan. No impact is anticipated.
h) The project site does not lie within an area subject to the hazards of liquefaction as shown in
Section 12 Geologic & Seismic, Figure 48 of the City's General Plan, thus no impacts are
anticipated.
,,{;\2(lITIGA nON MEASURES:
..5.....;:'"
:'::J.~~~;;'
ER-l An erosion control plan will be required, certified by the project engineer, and reviewed and
approved by Public Works Division, prior to issuance of a grading permit.
ER-2 The project proponent will be required to submit site-specific geotechnical reports to the City
Engineer prior to the issuance of grading permits. These reports will be required to detail the
appropriate soil excavation techniques required to ensure that the proposed buildings are
located on properly compacted pads. During site grubbing and grading activities, the site will
be subject to wind and water erosion. The City, however, requires the preparation and
implementation of PMIO plans prior to the issuance of grading permits. The PMIO plan for the
proposed project will mitigate the potential impacts associated with wind erosion. The project
will also, as a component of its grading permit, prepare an erosion control plan to address water
erosion issues.
V. HYDROLOGY & WATER
a) Construction of the proposed development would require grading and excavation activities that
may allow eroded soils and other pollutants to enter the storm drain system. The Federal Clean
Water Act (Section 402(p)) requires discharges of storm water associated with industrial and
construction activity to be regulated by national Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permits. NPDES compliance involves understanding the nature and feasibility of
Best Management Practices (BMP's) for water quality control. The project will comply with
NPDES to minimize water pollution and a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Permit report
will be required prior to any grading activities which will mitigate any possible impacts. No
impact is anticipated.

INITIAL STUDY
b) The proposed project is surrounded by single and multi-family residential uses. The site
contains a substantial amount of impermeable surfaces and, the project site is not considered
to be a groundwater recharge area. The project would obtain its water from the existing City
of San Bernardino water system. Such system has adequate capacity to service the project.
Water is not drawn from anyon-site underground well source. The project is not expected
to result in a direct impact on groundwater supplies.
c, d, e) The project site is relatively flat and would remain flat with residential development. The
proposed project would not substantially alter the existing drainage patterns of the site.
Therefore, no significant changes to the amount of stormwater runoff or the existing drainage
pattern will occur.
t) The project site is already served by existing drainage lines on the property. The construction
of homes would not create additional runoff water that could exceed the current stormwater
drainage system. The marginal increases in runoff amounts would be less than significant.
g)
The proposed project is for residential development. Long term activities associated with
residential uses will include but not limited to maintenance activities such as mowing and
fertilizing, lawns, and other gardening activities. These activities would not produce
significant amounts of additional pollutants. Project implementation would not substantially
degrade water quality.

h & i) The project site is located in the Zone X(shaded), Page No.xxxxx, dated March xxxx. Based
on the flood map, the project site is identified within a 500-year flood; areas of IOO-year flood
with average depths ofless a foot and areas protected by levees from lOO-year flood.
j) The potential for seiches or tsunamis affecting the project site is considered low because the
City of San Bernardino contains no natural permanent water features capable of producing a
seiche, and is not located adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. The project site and surrounding area
are relatively flat. Accordingly, there are minimal risks associated with mudflows. The
proposed project would result in less than significant impacts relative to inundation from a
seiche, tsunami, or mudflow.
MITIGATION MEASURES:

A hydrology study shall be submitted to Public Works for approval prior to grading plan
permit issuance. All recommendations from this analysis shall become conditions of
project development, and shall be incorporated in all grading and site improvement
plans.

V. AIR QUALITY
a. The proposed project could generate approximately 42 trips per day I The primary source of
pollutants from the proposed project will be vehicular emissions. The project will not exceed
SCAQMD thresholds. With implementation of the measures outlined below, the proposed
project is not forecast to expose sensitive receptors to air pollutant emissions above the air
emission thresholds set by the SCAQMD. However, construction activities will also result
in short-term air quality impacts associated with the operation of construction equipment. The
primary source of emissions will be associated with site grubbing and grading. Once again,
the proposed project is not expected to exceed the SCAQMD thresholds of significance.
The proposed project will generate dust during grading activities, and in periods of high winds
until construction is completed. In order to mitigate this impact, the City requires the
preparation and approval of PM 10 management plans, which shall be reviewed and approved
by the Public Works Division. In addition, the project proponent shall implement the
following mitigation measures to mitigate the potential impacts on air quality during
construction activities:
MITIGATION MEASURES:
;;V~i:~_l
The project proponent shall ensure that construction equipment shall be properly
maintained and serviced to minimize exhaust emissions.
o The project proponent shall ensure that existing power sources are utilized where feasible
via temporary power poles to avoid on-site power generation.
o The project proponent shall ensure that construction personnel be informed of ride sharing
and transit opportunities.
o The project proponent shall ensure that watering of the site or other soil stabilization
method shall be employed on an on-going basis after the Initiation of any grading activity
on the site. Portions of the site that are actively being graded shall be watered regularly to
ensure that a crust is formed on the ground surface, and shall be watered at the end of each
work day.
o The project proponent shall ensure that all disturbed areas are treated to prevent erosion
until the site is constructed upon.
o The project proponent shall ensure that SCAQMD Rule 403 is adhered to, insuring the clean
up of construction-related dirt on approach routes to the site.
o The project proponent shall ensure that all grading activities are suspended during first and
second stage ozone episodes or when winds exceed 25 miles per hour.
o All buildings on the project site shall conform to energy use guidelines in Title 24 of the
California Administrative Code.
o All active portions of the construction site shall be watered to prevent excessive amounts of
dust.

c) The proposed project has no potential to cause any measurable climatic change. There is no
impact and no mitigation is required.
d) The proposed project does not consist of operations that can be cause any objectionable odors
to be generated that can be measured. Impacts are forecast to be less than significant and no
mitigation is required.
VI. TRAFFIC/CIRCULATION
a) Transtech Engineers, Inc. prepared a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) on October 2003 for the
proposed project site. The Traffic Engineers in the Public Works Division examined the TIA
and concurred with the findings. The unsignalized intersection of Meridian and Rialto
Avenues currently operate and will continue to operate at unacceptable LOS E. In order for
the intersection (Meridian and Rialto Avenues) to operate at acceptable levels of service, the
following mitigation measures will be implemented:
20
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVICES
INITIAL STUDY
MITIGATION MEASURES:
T -1 Meridian Avenue & Rialto Avenue - Signalize the intersection. With a signal, the delay on left
turn movement will be eliminated and this intersection will operate at acceptable LOS B.
b) The proposed entrance on Meridian A venue will not result in a significant alternation in
existing circulation patters. The entrance will merely allow for entrance and egress of
vehicular traffic to the project site. No impact is anticipated.
c) The proposed project does not create a disjointed pattern of roadway improvements and no
impact is anticipated.
d) The proposed project does not impact rail or air traffic and no impact is anticipated.
i) The proposed project is a condominium subdivision to construct 54 detached single-family
units. Parking will be provided on-site for each individual home at the rate of two interior
garage spaces plus driveway space for two additional vehicles. In addition, interior streets are
designed to accommodate curbside parking. No impact is anticipated.
t) The proposed project will not result in any increase in safety risks to vehicular, pedestrian, or
bicycle traffic. The proposal includes several interior private streets that are designed for
typical residential traffic which will accommodate for local pedestrian and bicycle traffic No
impact is forecast and no mitigation is required.
g) The proposed project will not conflict with existing policies regarding alternative
transportation and no impact is anticipated.
h) The project will not result in any significant impact to emergency access or in access to nearby
uses. No impact is anticipated.
i) A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was prepared by Transtech Engineers on October 2003. The
analysis showed that several intersections currently operate at an unacceptable level of service
without this project. Therefore improvements should be implemented regardless of this
project. The project will pay a fair share amount of these improvements.
VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
a-e) The project site does not lie within the Biological Resources Overlay as identified in Section
IO-Natural Resources, Figure 41 of the City's General Plan. The site does not contain, nor is
it adjacent to any wetland habitat and no impact is anticipated.
t) The project is currently vacant and does not contain any mature trees based on the submitted
field photos and site visits. No impact is anticipated.
21
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVICES
INITIAL STUDY
VIII. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
a - c) The project site is not designated by the State and the City's General Plan Zoning Map as a
mineral resource zone. Based on this, the site does not contain any known mineral resources
that would be of future value to the region. Furthermore, the project site is surrounded by
existing residential neighborhoods. The City has adopted building codes that require
implementation of energy conservation measures for new development. Implementation of
these design and construction standards is considered adequate compliance with energy
conservation goals and policies. The additional energy demand resulting from the project is
a less than significant impact. No mitigation is required.
XI. HAZARDS
ii~~~
., :t:-
a - d) The project will be a condominium subdivision to construct 54 detached single family homes.
The project will not use, transport or dispose of hazardous or toxic materials based
information contained in the Preliminary Environmental Description Form No. G(l) and G(2)
(including, but not limited to, oil, pesticides, chemicals or radiation). The project will not
involve the intentional release of any hazardous substances and no impact is forecast. The
project will not expose people to any significant health or safety hazards that have not already
been previously addressed under the air quality and water resource discussion sections. No
mitigation is required.
X. NOISE
a-c) It is anticipated that short-term construction noise may affect residences to the north, efast and
west during on-site construction from equipment and vibration from excavation and grading.
In order to ensure that the noise impacts associated with the construction and operations are
reduced to a less than significant level, the applicant shall comply with the following
mitigation measures:
. All construction activities shall be limited to the hours of7 am to 7 pm, Monday through Friday.
. All construction vehicles shall have mufflers and be maintained in good operating order at all
times. No vehicle repair shall be permitted at the project site.
. All construction activities shall be limited to the hours of 7 am to 7 pm, Monday through Friday.
. All trucks waiting to be loaded or unloaded with construction materials shall not be left to idle
for more than 10 minutes.
. During construction, best efforts should be made to locate stockpiling and/or vehicle staging
areas as far as practicable from existing residential dwellings.
XI. PUBLIC SERVICES
a- g) Development of the site will increase the demand on fire, police, medical aid, schools, parks
and recreation, solid waste and other governmental services. Standard requirements for fire
protection facilities, building design, and site access have been reviewed and approved by the
City. The project as proposed meets the City's current standards for fire protection. The
22
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVICES
INITIAL STUDY
proposal will contribute its fair share of the impact fees. Furthermore, the project will result
in an incremental increase in the population that will utilize park and recreation facilities in
the City. To mitigate this impact the project will provide 16% (1.17 acres) for open space area
for active and passive recreational uses. Any impacts of the proposed project on public
services are expected to be less than significant.
XII. UTILITIES
a - b) The proposed project is adjacent to existing residential development to the north, east and
west. The project may create demands for natural gas and electricity beyond what is currently
existing at the site. However, this slight increase is well within the existing service capability
of the City for projected buildout and the associated impacts are forecast to be less than
significant. No mitigation is required.
c) The proposed project will use the existing residential telephone company providing service
to the area which is General Telephone. As such, this project will have no adverse impact on
the areas communication system. No significant communication system is forecast to occur,
no mitigation is required.
d) Based on the availability of groundwater in the area and the current groundwater recharge
policies, it is concluded that the City has adequate water supplies to serve this project. This
is consistent with the conclusions in the City General Plan that determined that adequate water
resources are available for full development of the city. No mitigation is required.
e) The proposed project is forecast to generate an additional amount of wastewater that will
require treatment at the regional treatment plant. The City General Plan EIR projected
cumulative sewage flows at City buildout of 14.1 million gallons per day. As a result, the
regional plant has been significantly expanded over the past several years, and currently has
about 9 million gallons per day excess treatment capacity currently available. Any additional
demand on this system is well within the excess treatment capacity. Adequate sized sewer
collection lines occur in the adjacent streets to transport the wastewater generated by the
project to the regional plant. With adequate cumulative capacity to meet the project's needs,
no potential for significant impact to the wastewater treatment and collection system is
forecast to occur and no mitigation is required.
t) Potential impacts to the storm water drainage system are evaluated in Water Section a. No
significant impacts to the storm drain system were identified with this proposed project.
g) The project site is located in a developed residential area that has adequate utility service to
provide for additional demands. Utility systems are in place to serve the surrounding areas
and are planned to provide service to the project site. No impact is anticipated.
h) No other impacts are forecast to occur and no mitigation is required.

XIII. AESTHETICS
a - b) The proposed project is located within a developed area and no significant or important scenic
views have been identified within the area. The proposed project has no potential to affect
existing views. The site will be developed with detached single family units with well
maintained landscaped areas. This will be an improvement to the site. Impacts are forecast
to be less than significant and no mitigation is required.
c) The proposed project has been design to comply with Development Code for architectural
design guidelines for light and glare. All lighting and glare will be controlled through the
design and use of materials and color so that the lighting and glare will not spill over to
adjacent properties. Based on this, impacts are forecast to be less than significant and no
mitigation is required.
d) No other impacts are forecast related to visual resources and no mitigation is required.

albic) The site is not within a sensitive archaeological area as identified in Section 3.0 B Historical,
Figure 8, of the City's General Plan. Therefore, no further investigations are recommended
and the resulting impact is less than significant. However, if any artifacts are uncovered
during construction all work will cease immediately and the contractor (or site superintendent)
shall contact the San Bernardino Museum to have a qualified archeologist inspect the artifacts
and determine the appropriate course of action.
XV. RECREATION
albic) The project will result in an incremental increase in the population that will utilize park and
recreation facilities in the City. To mitigate this impact the project will provide 16% (\.17
acres) of use able land dedicated for active and passive recreational uses. Based on this, the
proposed project will not impacts any of the neighborhood or regional parks or recreational
activities in the area.
XVI. MANDATORY FINDING OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) The Initial Study identified short-term impacts to air quality and noise with development of
the proposed project. There were no expected impacts to the biological setting including
habitat. The Initial Study also identifies potential impacts to water quality, however these
potential impacts can be mitigated by implementation of best management practices and are
regulated by the City of San Bernardino and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System. The short term impacts to air quality and noise will occur due to proposed
construction activities. All potential impacts can be mitigated to reduce project-related
impacts to a less than significant level.

b) The development of the project will contribute incrementally to the impacts associated with
development in the area, including traffic, ambient noise, lighting, etc. The project is
compatible with development in the surrounding area and is consistent with the General Plan
and no impact is anticipated.
c) The project has minor impacts to air quality in the area which are cumulative to the existing
conditions in the non-attainment basin as discussed in the Air Quality section of this Initial
Study. The impacts created by this project are minor and the appropriate mitigation measures
are being implemented in order to lessen the potential impacts to a less than significant level.
d) The development of the site as proposed would not cause adverse impacts on humans, either
directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identified construction-related emissions criteria as
having a potential impact, however, proposed mitigation measures will reduce the impacts to
less than significant. Additionally, impacts related to air quality are short term and will cease
once construction activities are completed.

MITIGATED MONITORINGIREPORTING PROGRAM
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared to implement the
mitigation measures outlined in the Program Environmental Impact Report for Development
Permit III No. 03-52. This program has been prepared in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State and City of San Bernardino CEQA
Guidelines.
CEQA Section 21081.6 requires adoption of a monitoring and/or reporting program for those
measures or conditions imposed on a project to mitigate or avoid adverse effects on the
environment. The law states that the monitoring or reporting program shaH be designed to ensure
compliance during project implementation.
The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program contains the following elements:
I. The mitigation measures are recorded with the action and procedure necessary to
ensure compliance. The program lists the mitigation measures contained within
the Initial Study.
2. A procedure for compliance and verification has been outlined for each
mandatory mitigation action. This procedure designates who will take action,
what action will be taken and when, and to whom and when compliance will be
reported.
3. The program contains a separate Mitigation Monitoring and Compliance Record
for each action. On each of these record sheets, the pertinent actions and dates
will be logged, and copies of permits, correspondence or other data relevant will
be retained by the City of San Bernardino.
4. The program is designed to be flexible. As monitoring progresses, changes to
compliance procedures may be necessary based upon recommendations by those
responsible for the program. If changes are made, new monitoring compliance
procedures and records will be developed and incorporated into the program.
The individual measures and accompanying monitoring/reporting actions follow. They are
numbered in the same sequence as presented in the Program EIR.

VI. TRAFFIC/CIRCULATION
MITIGATION MEASURES:
T -1 Meridian Avenue & Rialto Avenue - Signalize the intersection. With a signal, the delay
on left turn movement will be eliminated and this intersection will operate at acceptable LOS
B.
b) The proposed entrance on Meridian Avenue will not result in a significant alternation
in existing circulation patters. The entrance will merely allow for entrance and
egress of vehicular traffic to the project site. No impact is anticipated.
c) The proposed project does not create a disjointed pattern of roadway improvements
and no impact is anticipated.
d) The proposed project does not impact rail or air traffic and no impact is anticipated.
c) The proposed project is a condominium subdivision to construct 54 detached single-
family units. Parking will be provided on-site for each individual home at the rate of
two interior garage spaces plus driveway space for two additional vehicles. In
addition, interior streets are designed to accommodate curbside parking. No impact
is anticipated.
f) The proposed project will not result in any increase in safety risks to vehicular,
pedestrian, or bicycle traffic. The proposal includes several interior private streets
that are designed for typical residential traffic which will accommodate for local
pedestrian and bicycle traffic No impact is forecast and no mitigation is required.
g) The proposed project will not conflict with existing policies regarding alternative
transportation and no impact is anticipated.
h) The project will not result in any significant impact to emergency access or in access
to nearby uses. No impact is anticipated.
i) A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was prepared by Transtech Engineers on October
2003. The analysis showed that several intersections currently operate at an
unacceptable level of service without this project. Therefore improvements should
be implemented regardless of this project. The project will pay a fair share amount
of these improvements.

DEVELOPMENT/SMALL
LOT
Planned Residential Development (PRD) including Clustered Subdivision and
Small Lot Divisions are permitted in Residential Urban land use districts subject
to Development Permit review. Attached and detached single-family dwelling
units are permitted. The purpose of allowing these types of developments is to
promote residential amenities beyond those expected in conventional residential
developments, to achieve greater flexibility in design, to encourage well planned
neighborhood through creative and imaginative planning as a unit, to provide for
appropriate use of land which is sufficiently unique in its physical characteristics
or other circumstances to warrant special methods of development, to reduce
development problems in hillside areas and to preserve areas of natural scenic
beauty through the encouragement of integrated planning and design.
1. Density
The underlying residential land use district or the Hillside Management
Overlay District shall determine the maximum number of dwelling units
allowed in a PRD or Small Lot Subdivision. Where a parcel or parcels
have more than one land use district, the maximum number of dwelling
units shall be determined by adding together the allowable density for
each land use district area. Density transfer throughout the PRD project
area is permitted for the promotion of clustering units in those areas
suited to development, and thus preserving the open space and natural
features of the site. (See Hillside Management Overlay District for
restrictions to on-site density transfer.)
2. Minimum Lot Size
The minimum lot size for a detached single-family unit in a Small Lot

Attached single-family structures shall not exceed 3 stories or 42 feet.
The maximum average number of single-family units attached in any
manner to form a single structure shall be 6.
5. Setbacks
The minimum front, rear, and side structural setback from the project
perimeter boundary shall be 15 feet. The minimum dwelling unit side
structural setback from other dwelling unit structures is 15 feet plus I
foot for each 15 feet of structure length. In small lot subdivisions the
minimum side setback is 5 feet with a IS-foot minimum dwelling unit
separation.
