CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT SUBJECT: Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity for a Type 20 (off-sale beer & wine) ABC License for a service station with a 1,940 square foot convenience store located at 906 North Waterman Avenue in the CG-l, Commercial General land use district. OWNER: George Pearson 16868 "A" Street Huntington Beach, CA 92647 714.375.4700 APPLICANT: Andrea Ficus G&MOil 16868 "A" Street Huntington Beach, CA 92647 714.375.4700 REQUEST The applicant is requesting a determination of public convenience or necessity to establish a Type 20 (off-sale beer & wine) ABC License for a service station with a 1,904 square foot convenience store located at 906 North Waterman Avenue in the CG-l, Commercial General land use district (Exhibit 1, Location Map). BACKGROUND At their meeting of May 6, 2004, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 02- 32 and Variance No. 02-11 and recommended that the Mayor and Common Council make a determination of public convenience or necessity for a Type 20 (off-sale beer & wine) ABC License for a service station with a 1,904 square foot convenience store. Commissioners Brown, Coute Durr, Enciso, Heasley, Morris, Sauerbrun, and Thrasher voted in favor of the motion. The proposed convenience store will be approximately 1,904 square feet in size and will sell dairy products, soft drinks, snacks and other convenience items. Two coolers (approximately 190 square feet) will be uti lized for beer and wine sales. This accounts for 10% of the total floor area. The proposed service station will be a 24-hour facility, seven days per week. Although the service station facility will be a 24-hour operation, sales of beer and wine will be limited to 6:00 am to midnight. See Exhibit 2, Planning Commission Staff Report for additional discussion. Based on Census Tract 0056, five liquor licenses are allowed in this area. Currently, there are 16 existing licenses in this Tract. As a result, the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) notified the applicant of the over concentration in that Census Tract, and that a determination of Public Convenience or Necessity from the City is required. An Interoffice Memorandum dated September 23, 2004, from the Police Department indicated no opposition to the ABC application and recommended approval provided that the applicant comply with the Police Department listed conditions in Exhibit 3. FINANCIAL IMPACT None. The applicant submitted an application and the applicable processing fee. RECOMMENDA nON Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council determine that the public convenience or necessity is served and direct the Planning Division to prepare a letter for the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for a Type 20 (off-sale beer & wine) ABC License for a service station with ai, 904 square foot convenience store.

The project site is approximately 19,449 square feet (.45 acres) and is located at the northwest corner of Waterman Avenue and 9th Street at 906 North Waterman Avenue in the CG-1, Commercial General, land use district (Attachment A). The applicant also requests approval of a Variance to reduce the 10- foot rear landscape setback from 10 feet to 5 feet up to the convenience store area along the westerly property boundary and to allow the convenience store to encroach in the IO-foot rear landscape rear setback. Development Code Section 19.06.030, Table 06.02, Commercial Zones Development Standards, CG-1, requires a minimum of IO-foot landscape rear setback be provided if the project site is adjacent to any Residential Land Use District. The applicant is proposing to reduce the IO-foot rear landscape setback from 10 feet to 5 feet up to the building area and to allow the building to encroach in the IO-foot rear landscape setback along the westerly property boundary. The site has been designed with a 1,904 square foot convenience store and a 1,976 square foot canopy. The convenience store located on the rear ofthe property line provides parking in front with landscaping located throughout the project premises. The canopy located closest to 9th Street accommodates four service islands with a total of eight fuel dispensers. The existing 6- foot block wall along the westerly property line will be increased to 8 feet to great a greater buffer wall between the residential and commercial area. Vehicular access to the site will be on 9th Street and Waterman Avenue. The gas station will be a 24-hour operation, seven days per week. The proposed project will employ 4 employees. SETTING/SITE CHARACTERISTICS The project site is generally flat and rectangular in shape. To the north, east and south are commercial retail establishments in the CG-l, Commercial General, land use district. To the west and abutting the site is a residential zone in the RU-1, Residential Urban land use district. BACKGROUND The Development/Environmental Review Committee (D/ERe) initially reviewed the proposal on September 18,2003. At that time, the D/ERC continued the proposal to allow sufficient time for the applicant to provide pilot test report and remedial action plan for the County of San Bernardino Fire Department, Office of the Fire Marshal Hazardous Materials Divisions (OFMHMD). To date, the applicant has complied with the OFMHMD's requirements for soil remedial treatment plan. An on-site soil vapor extraction system has been installed and is operating to provide on-going soil remediation. On March 18, 2004, the D/ERC heard the proposal again and at that time, the D/ERC recommended that the proposal be moved to the Planning Commission. Conditional Use Permit No. 02-32 Variance No. 02-11 Meeting Date: May 18, 2004 Page 3 On July 2, 1985, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 85-27 to construct an addition and convert an existing service station to a mini-market for this site. Presently, the site contains a vacant building only. The project applicant proposes to demolish it and rebuild it with the proposed project. FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT I. Is the proposed use conditionally permitted within the subject land use district, would it impair the integrity and character of the subject land use district, and does it comply with all of the applicable provisions of this Development Code? Yes, pursuant to Development Code Section 19.06.020 Table 06.01 (2)(1), gas stations with convenience stores are permitted use in the CG-l, Commercial General land use district, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed project complies with all applicable provisions of the Development Code as shown below in Table "A", except those for which the Applicant has filed a Variance. Table "A" DEVELOPMENT CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE CATEGORY PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT GENERAL PLAN CODE Gas Station, Permitted subject to Permitted Use Convenience Store with N/A Off-site Alcohol Conditional Use Permit Setbacks . - Front 10 feet 10 feet 25 feet of sidewalk - Side o feet o feet - Side (street side) I 0 feet 10 feet - Rear 5 feet (*) 10 feet Lot Coverage 22% 50% N/A Landscaping 22% 15% N/A Parking . - Standard 11 11 N/A - Handicap 1 I - Total 12 12 (*)The applicant has filed a Variance to reduce the 10-foot rear landscape setback from 10 feet to 5 feet up to the building area and to allow the building in the IO-foot rear landscape setback along the westerly property boundary. Conditional Use Permit No. 02-32 Variance No. 02-11 Meeting Date: May 18.2004 Page 4 Although the project applicant proposes to reduce the lO-foot rear landscape setback from 10 feet to 5 feet up to the building area and to allow the building to encroach in the lO-foot rear landscape setback, the overall on-site landscaping at 22 % still exceeds the Development Code requirement. 2. Is the proposed use consistent with the General Plan? Yes, the proposal is consistent with the General Plan goal and objective as follows: General Plan GoallB states: "Provide employment opportunities for existing and future residents of the City and those of adjacent communities" The proposed project will provide employment opportunities for local residents and the surrounding community. The project has been designed and conditioned to ensure compatibility with adjacent residential and to minimize noise and traffic safety concerns. General Plan Policy 1.19 states: "Provide for the.. .new development of retail, personal service, entertainment, office and related commercial uses along major transportation corridors and intersections to serve the needs of the residents; reinforcing existing commercial corridors and centers and establishing new locations as new residential growth occurs". This new development will bring improvements and remove visual blight at the intersection of Waterman Avenue and 9th Street. The proposed project will enhance the existing commercial centers and serve the needs of local residents. 3. Is the approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed use in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and Section 19.20.030(6) of the Development Code? Yes, the approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed project is in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that the project was found to be exempt from CEQA per S 15332 for an in-fill development project. CEQA allows for the exemption of projects that can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Furthermore, all grading and construction activities will be implemented and monitored in accordance with the AQMD measures as described in the conditions of approval to ensure that the project would not cause any substantial adverse construction impacts. Conditional Use Permit No. 02-32 Variance No. 02-11 Meeting Date: May 18, 2004 Page 5 4. Are there potentially significant negative impacts upon environmental quality and natural resources that could not be properly mitigated and monitored? No, as noted in Finding No.3, this project complies with CEQA and Section 19.20.030(6) of the Development Code. Furthermore, the County of San Bernardino Fire Department, Office of the Fire Marshal Hazardous Materials Divisions (OFMHMD) has been working closely with the project applicant to ensure that the site is clear of soil and groundwater contaminant issues. The project applicant has conducted and provided the necessary remediation tests to ensure that the site is suitable for redevelopment purposes. The installation of the new tanks will be monitored in accordance with the OFMHMD's requirements. Moreover, these requirements have been incorporated as part of the Conditions of Approval to ensure that the project would not cause any substantial adverse impacts. 5. Are the location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use compatible with the existing and future land uses within the general area in which the proposed use is to be located and will it 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? Yes, the design and operating characteristics are consistent with all provisions of the Development Code except as noted in No. I above and will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. The proposed project will be compatible with the existing and future land uses within the general area and the surrounding retail commercial activities. Since the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code, no land use conflict or environmental adverse impacts will result from the construction and operation of the proposed project. As described in Table "A" in No. I, the proposal provides adequate parking and landscaping to comply with Code requirements. The City Traffic Engineer has reviewed the proposal and determined that additional vehicle trips resulting from-the proposed project will not cause any significant traffic impact. Also, the project-related noise impacts are not expected to create significant noise levels. This is because the proposed project is located on a major arterial transportation corridor noise source Waterman Avenue. 6. Is the subject site physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use being proposed? Yes, the site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of the project being proposed as evidenced by project compliance with all applicable Development Code Standards as noted above except as noted for the lO-foot rear landscape setback for which the applicant has filed for a variance. Conditional Use Permit No. 02-32 Variance No. 02-11 Meeting Date: May 18, 2004 Page 6 7. Are there adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation. and public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed use would not be detrimental to public health and safety? Yes, all agencies responsible for reviewing access and providing water, sanitation and other public services have all had the opportunity to review the proposal and none have indicated an inability to serve the project. The proposal will not be detrimental to the public health and safety in that all applicable Codes will apply to the construction of this project. FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS - VARIANCE 1. Are there special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, such that the strict application of this Development Code deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical land use district classification? Yes, there are special circumstances applicable to the property size. Due to the fact that the site is located on a major arterial, 13' -9" feet and 2' -9" street dedications are required on Waterman Avenue and 9th Street, respectively. The strict application of the 1O-foot rear landscape setback requirement will deprive this property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under the identical CG-l land use district. The proposed site is an existing lot of record with development on all sides. The surrounding development is built to their property lines. The strict Code for the 10- foot rear landscape setback will result in practical difficulties and will not allow this in-fill parcel to be developed. The street dedications, and related improvements are necessary to provide safe turning movements and accessibility. 2. Is the granting of the Variance necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and land use district and denied to the property for which the Variance is sought? Yes, the granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and CG-l land use district. This is because the 10-foot rear landscape setback along with the dedication requirements will result in less area for the project applicant to build upon. These requirements have placed development limitations causing the developable area to be reduced from a A5-acre site to a .39-acre site. Conditional Use Permit No. 02-32 Variance No. 02-11 Meeting Date: May 18, 2004 Page 7 3. Will granting the Variance be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and land use district in which the property is located? No, if approved, the granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare to the property or improvements in the vicinity in that all on-site construction activities will be in conformance with all applicable City requirements and as such, will not pose any threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of San Bernardino. The proposed project is consistent with the previous project on the site. 4. Will granting the Variance constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and land use district in which such property is located? Allow the building in the 10-foot rear landscape area No, the granting of the variance to allow the building in the 10- foot rear landscape setback will not constitute a special privilege. Due to the dedication requirements, Development Code Section 19.06.030, Land Use District Development Standards, Table 06.02, Commercial Zones Development Standards, CG-1, 10-foot rear landscape setback requirements encumbered the project site. The proposed site is an existing lot of record with development on all sides. A similar business in size on a similar parcel would be required to apply for a variance. Reduce the lO-foot rear landscape setback UP to the building area No, the granting of the variance to reduce the 10-foot landscape setback will not constitute a special privilege. Although the lO-foot rear landscape setback will be reduced from 10 feet to 5 feet up to the building area, the overall buffer zone up to the building area will still be at 10 feet. The applicant will provide a 5-foot rear landscape setback and a 5-foot sidewalk path of travel for a total of lO-foot buffer zone. Furthermore, the building encroachment in the 10-foot rear landscape setback will take less than 1/3 (approximately 38 feet) of the westerly property boundary. This minor encroachment will not create a significant intrusion into the residential neighborhood adjacent to the west. This is because the scale and height of the proposed building is compatible with the surrounding area. Moreover, all lighting fixtures will be shielded to confine lights within the site only. The building encroachment in the westerly boundary is necessary in that it will allow the building design to achieve a symmetry layout to match the northerly layout. Conditional Use Permit No. 02-32 Variance No. 02-11 Meeting Date: May 18, 2004 Page 8 5. Will granting the Variance allow a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the regulations governing the subject parcel? No, the granting of the variance will not allow a use that is not already permitted by Conditional Use Permit in the CG-l, Commercial General land use district. Gas stations with convenience stores are permitted in the CG-l, Commercial General land use district, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. A conditional use permit for the proposal is already required and is part of the current review of this project. 6. Will granting the Variance be consistent with the General Plan? Yes, General Plan Policy 1.17.30 states that it shall be the policy of the City of San Bernardino to: "Require the development to convey the physical and visual appearance of an integrated urban center; utilizing consistent and complementary architecture design style and building materials, building massing and bulk and siting of structures". The project applicant has designed this project such that it will be integrated with the surrounding structures in the area. Although the proposed project is consistent with the previous project, the proposal will bring a modem look and improvements to the area. The applicant has submitted findings in support of the variances. The applicant's findings are included herein as Attachment E. CONCLUSION The proposal meets all necessary Findings of Fact for approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Variance to reduce the 10-foot rear landscape setback from 10 feet to 5 feet and to allow the building to encroach in the lO-foot landscape rear setback. RECOMMENDA nON Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 02-32 and Variance No. 02-11 to reduce the lO-foot rear landscape setback from 10 feet to 5 feet and allow the convenience store to encroach in the lO-foot rear landscape setback based upon the Findings of Fact contained in this Staff Report and subject to the Conditions of Approval (Attachment C) and Standard Requirements (Attachment D).

If we are required to adhere to the setback, we will lose approximately 1300 SF of property, which cannot be used in any other manner. That granting the Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the vicinity and land use district and denied to the property for which the Variance is sought; ~ In order to meet parking, landscaping and circulation requirements, a Variance is necessary for the preservation of a substantial property right of the owner to utilize his property in the most cost effective and resourceful manner, which will be denied if we are required to adhere to the setback. That granting the Variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare. or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and land use district in which the property is located; Granting the Variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health and safety, in fact it will have the opposite effect. If we are required to adhere to the rear setback, it will make a space that creates an area for people to congregate and loiter behind the building. This creates an unsafe condition for the employees and the customers that will be detrimental to the welfare of the public. That granting the Variance does not co~/.Stitute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and land use district in which such property is located; Ocanting the Variance does not constitute a special p~iege as it allows the property owner to utilize the property to it's maximum potential and it protects the property from the negative effects of vandalism and crime, by removing a potential problem area.

Granting the Variance will not be inconsistent with the General Plan as the use is allowed by Code and is being requested to eliminate a future potential hazard. . G&M Oil # 119 906 N. Waterman Avenue @ Ninth Street San Bernardino PROJECT DECSCIPTION G&M Oil recently purchased the property at the above referenced location. The site currently is an abandoned gasoline service station with an associated food market. G&M Oil is proposing to demolish the existing facilities and re-build the same use, in a different configuration. G&M Oil will be requesting a zone variance to build the food mart building on the rear property line so as not to leave any dead space behind the building for people to loiter and to use the area as a place to congregate. G&M will be installing new underground storage tanks, fueling facility and canopy to cover the fueling area. The food mart will sell retail convenience items, and along with this proposal is a request for a Type-20 beer and wine license. These improvements will also include all new landscaping and irrigation along with new drive approaches, one on each street frontage. The existing pole sign will be removed and replaced with a new, smaller pole sign to reflect prices and services offered at the gasoline station. Parking, a public restroom and air/water facilities will also be provided as part of this proposal. ~ City of San Bernardino San Bernardino Police Department Interoffice Memorandum EXHIBIT 3 To: ARON LIANG, SENIOR PLANNER From: CSO II M.
