CITY OF SAN BERk .RDINO - REQUEST ~.oR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Parcel maps are considered as subdivisions, by the State of California Subdivision Map Act. As such, all conditions in Ti tle 18, "Subdivisions," of the San Bernardino Municipal Code apply in full to parcel maps. Standard Requirement No. 11, imposed by the Development Review Committee on new developments, exempts R-l and R-2 zoned parcels from the requirement to underground utilities. The proposed amendment will exempt residentially zoned parcel maps, with a maximum of 4 parcels, from the requirement in Title 18 relative to undergrounding utilities. However, developments on the parcels created by the parcel map will still be subject to provisions of Standard Requirement No. 11 upon review by the Development Review Committee, unless exempted by provisions in the standard requirement. Parcels zoned R-l and R-2 are exempt under Standard Requirement No. 11. The proposed amendment will exempt resi- dentially zoned parcels, up to a maximum of 4. In the event that the parcels created by a parcel map are zoned for multi- family residential, they could be required to underground utilities upon development by conditions of Standard Requirement No. 11. We feel the amendment will bring residential parcel maps into conformance with requirements imposed upon developments and, therefore, recommend that it be approved. COMMENT: The proposed exemption of four (4) parcels from under- grounding of utilities will require environmental review to be done prior to adoption of the Ordinance. ck-. /mtb cc: Larry Reed, Planning & Building Services Director 2-06-90 ~~ - _\"j , - -, '. . ,'". ,....' _ \ v:"" .~.~ ~__~~~.

February 2, 1990 825 NORTH "D" STREET SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA 92401 PHONE: 714/885-{)266 city of San Bernardino Attn: Roger Hardgrave City Engineer 300 N. "D" Street San Bernardino, CA 92418 Re: Undergrounding of power utilities on R-l Parcel Maps Dear Roger: I call your attention to Parcel Map No. 11710, Ron and Scherry Walls, Variance No. 88-12. This project involves two older single family residences located on one parcel, one residence fronting lOth Street and one facing Olive Street. The neighborhood consists entirely of single family residences on mostly sub-standard width lots, a high percentage being owner occupied. The owners of the parcel in question have rehabilitated the exist- ing residences and applied for a minor subdivision so that each residence may be sold and also become owner occupied single family homes, an objective we regard as benificial to the neighborhood. The City of San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 18.44.070 re- quires projects that are legal subdivisions, whether created by Parcel Map or Tract Map, place new and existing power lines un- derground or, under certain conditions, make a cash, in lieu, pay- ment to the City. We believe, and cite this project as an example, that the require- ments of Section 18.44.070 relative to single family residential subdivisions of four or less parcels (Parcel Maps)place a severe financial burden upon such projects due to the very high costs involved. In this particular case for instance, the estimated costs for the undergrounding of the power facilities alone is $12,000.00. This cost does not include telephone or cable television facilities. On larger projects the costs involved in placing all such utility lines underground is about $1,000.00 per residential lot. '~ February 2, 1990 City of San Bernardino Attn: Roger Hardgrave City Engineer Garner Troy and Assoc. Re: Undergrounding of power utilities on R-l Parcel Maps Page Two of Two We believe, and strongly recommend to you, that it would be more equable to exempt developments of four or less single family residential lots from the requirements of this Section. Thank you for your anticipated courtesy and consideration of this matter. Should you have any questions, please call. Sincerely, GARNER, TROY AND ASSOC.
