Tentative Tract Map No. 16457 is located at the northeast comer of Palm and Irvington Avenues. Tentative Tract Map No. 15940 is located at the northwest comer of Palm and Irvington A venues. Mayor and Common Council Meeting of September 15, 2003 Owner/ Applicant: CD! - San Bernardino 22365 Barton Road, Suite 110 Grand Terrace, CA 92313 909) 503-1134 BACKGROUND The applicant, CD! - San Bernardino, requested a General Plan Amendment No. 02-11, Tentative Tract Map No. 16457 and Tentative Tract Map No. 15940 to prepare two sites at the northwest and northeast corners of Palm and Irvington A venues for development. (Exhibit 1). General Plan Amendment No. 02-11 would change 4.33 acres of land from RE. Residential Estate to RL, Residential Low at the northwest corner of Palm and Irvington Avenues, and would change 5.65 acres of a 10.35 acre parcel of land from RE. Residential Estate to RL, Residential Low at the northeast corner of Palm and Irvington Avenues. Tentative Tract Map No. 15940 would subdivide 13.73 acres into 41 single-family residential lots with a minimum lot size of 10,800 square feet. Tentative Tract Map No. 16457 would subdivide 15.56 acres into 47 single-family residential lots with a minimum lot size of 10,800 square feet and dedicate approximately 4.7 acres of remaining land to the City of San Bernardino to be used as a local park. The Development Services Department recommended approval of the General Plan Amendment and the Tentative Tract Maps. At their meeting of June 17, 2003 the Planning Commission considered the applications for the General Plan Amendment and Tentative Tract Maps. After hearing testimony from three local residents some of the Commissioners were concerned about maintaining the current RE, Residential Estate land use district as an upscale entrance into the Verdemont area. The perceived problem was that the lot sizes proposed (minimum 10,800 square feet) were to small and were not of the appropriate caliber for this area. Other concerns mentioned were overcrowding of schools, maintenance of the proposed park, construction hours, and access to the proposed park. The motion to recommend denial of the General Plan Amendment and two Tentative Tract Maps did not pass on a three to three vote. Commissioners Coute, Durr and Enciso voted for the motion to deny the project and Commissioners Lockett, Sauerbrun, and Thrasher voted against the motion to deny. Please refer to the Planning Commission staff report for full details on the proposed subdivisions (Exhibit 2). The Conditions of Approval for Tentative Tract Map No. 16457 include the requirement that "Prior to recordation of the final map, the developer has to execute a mutual agreement with the City's Director of Parks and Recreation and the City Engineer for arrangement of CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION dedication and improvement of lot U A" for a future park as shown on the tentative map." Lot" A" contains approximately 4.7 acres and is bordered on the west by Palm Avenue and the south by Irvington A venue. Lot" A" is zoned RE and is acceptable for a recreation park serving Verdemont Heights. The fair market value of lot" A" is estimated to exceed $480,000, based on the developers purchase price of the entire property and the proposed improvements to the abutting streets. In a meeting attended by the City Administrator, Parks, Recreation and Community Services Director, Development Services Director, Covenant Development President Lindsy 1. Hubby III, Vice-President Jonathan E. Silver, and Mapco President David Mlynarski the terms contained in Exhibit 3 were considered to be acceptable and presentable to the City Council for consideration. FINANCIAL IMPACT None; the applicant has submitted the application filing fees for this project. RECOMMENDATION The Mayor and Common Council may close the public hearing and: 1) That said resolution be adopted, the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program be adopted, and Tentative Tract Map No. 16457 and Tentative Tract Map No. 15940 be approved based on the Findings of Fact in the Planning Commission Staff Report, subject to the Conditions of Approval (Attachment C) and Standard Requirements (Attachment D); or 2) That General Plan Amendment No. 02-11, Tentative Tract Map No.16457, and Tentative Tract Map No. 15940 be denied and continue for two weeks for Development Services to bring findings of fact to the Council.

The subject property is located on the northwest corner of Palm and Irvington Avenues in the RE, Residential Estate and RL, Residential Low land use districts (Attachment A and B). SETTING/SITE CHARACTERISTICS The site is located at the northwest corner of Palm and Irvington Avenues. The site is bounded on the north by residences in the RL, Residential Low and RE, Residential Estate land use districts. The project is bounded on the south by Irvington Avenue with residences in the Residential Estate land use district. The west side of the property is bounded by a residential tract in the RL, Residential Low land use district, and on the east by Palm A venue with vacant land in the RL, Residential Low and RE. Residential Estate land use districts. Tentative Tract No. 16457 is located to the east along Palm Avenue. The project site is currently vacant and slopes approximately 5 % from north to south. The corner of Palm and Irvington A venues is proposed to be an entry point and will be treated with a monument sign for the tract. BACKGROUND The project was reviewed and moved to Planning Commission by the Development / Environmental Review Committee on May 29. 2003. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL OUALITY ACT CCEOAl STATUS An Initial Study was prepared to address potential impacts related to the proposed General Plan Amendment and development of this project. The Initial Study identified mitigation measures necessary to reduce potential impacts to a level of less than significant. A Notice of Intent was prepared and the Initial Study was released for public review and comment period from May 8. 2003 to May 27,2003. No comments were received during this period. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been included through the Conditions of Approval. General Plan Amendment No 02-11 l ,nlative Tract Map No. 15940 Hearing Date 06/1 7103 Page 3 FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS FOR THE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 1. Is the proposed amendment internally consistent with the General Plan? The proposed amendment is consistent with Goal I G(b) , which states: "It shall be the goal of the City of San Bernardino to allow for the infilI and recycling of areas at their prevailing scale and character. . The amendment maintains the land for low density, single-family residential use, consistent with adjacent residential development 2. Would the proposed amendment not be materially detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City? The proposed amendment would not be materially detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City as it would be adding only nine more developable parcels than would be allowed under the current land use designation. The increase in the number of lots does not create impacts that can not be mitigated to a level of less than significant. 3. Would the proposed amendment maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City? The proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City as it would be maintaining the land for single-family residential use. 4. Is the subject parcel physically suitable (including, but not limited to, access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested land use designation(s) and the antidpated land use development? The subject parcel is physically suitable for the requested land use designation and the anticipated land use development in that it will be providing access through new streets adjoining to Irvington A venue, all utilities would be provided as part of the development of the new tract, it would be similar to the land use to the west and that proposed to the east and compatible with the land uses to the north and south, and the land is absent of physical constraints. General Plan Amendment No 02-11 fenlative Tract Map No. 15940 Hearing Date 06/17/03 Page 4 FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS FOR THE TENTATIVE TRACT 1. Is the proposed map consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code? Yes, the proposed subdivision map is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code (provided the requested General Plan Amendment is approved). The parcels created will meet minimum development criteria as shown below: DEVELOPMENT CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE CATEGORY PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT GENERAL PLAN CODE Permitted Use Residential Subdivision Permitted Permitted Lot Size 10,800 SF (minimum) 10,800 SF (minimum) 10,800 SF (minimum) Lot Width 80' (minimum)-interior 80' (minimum)-interior N/A 88' (minimum)-corner 88' (minimum)-corner Lot Depth 126' (minimum) 100' (minimum) N/A Each lot will have direct and approved access, All lots shall have Access parking, utilities, direct access to a N/A drainage, sewer, and public street. water. 2. Is the design of the proposed subdivision consistent with the General Plan? Yes, the proposed design and improvements are consistent with General Plan Objective 1.8, which states that it is the objective of the City to: "Provide lands to accommodate housing units which meet the diverse economic and social needs of the residents; locating development to a) retain the scale and character of existing residential neighborhoods; b) facilitate the upgrade and intensification of declining mixed-density residential neighborhoods; and c) allow expansion into vacant and low-intensity use lands within infrastructure and environmental constraints." General Plan Amendment No 02-11 Centalive Tract Map No. 15940 Hearing Dale 06/17103 Page S The proposed project will create 41 new single family residential properties within an existing residential area. The design and layout of these new lots is consistent with the adjacent single family residential lots in the area. The proposed map (and expected future development) wilI retain the scale and character of the existing residential neighborhood. The future development of the site with single family residential homes wilI be compatible with the residential character of the development in the surrounding area, as well as the general plan. 3. Is the site physically suitable for the type of proposed development? Yes, the 13.73 acre site is physically suitable for the proposed residential development. The Tentative Tract Map conforms to the subdivision design standards specified by the Development Code in that it meets the minimum lot size for the RL, Residential Low land use district. All of the proposed lots contain sufficient buildable area and will have direct access to a dedicated roadway. Connecting to the existing infrastructure will provide water, sewer, power, gas, telephone, and cable to the site. 4. Is the site physically suitable for the proposed density of development? Yes, the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development in that the division of land is consistent with the Subdivision Map Act and the proposed lots wilI be compatible in design with the current Development Code and the surrounding residential lots. The proposed density of the project is 3.0 units per gross acre, under the allowed 3.1 units per gross acre in the RL land use district. 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 (pursuant to CEQA Guidelines) to identify potential impacts and determine appropriate mitigation measures. No impacts were identified that could not be mitigated to a level of less than significant, and the mitigation measures have been included the presence and extent of any environmental issues that could result from the subdivision. This project would be subject to mitigation measures in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan as previously addressed. 6. Is the design of the subdivision likely to cause serious public health problems? No, the lots being created each have access to an existing dedicated street. The design of the proposed subdivision meets all of the applicable requirements for the RL, Residential Low land use district and is unlikely to result in any public health problems. General Plan Amendment No 02-11 :entative Tract Map No. 15940 Hearing Date 06/17103 Page 6 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 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 by the Public Works/Engineering Division through processing of the Final Map. CONCLUSION The proposal meets all necessary Findings of Fact for approval of the General Plan Amendment and the Tentative Tract Map. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend that the Mayor and Common Council: . Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; . Adopt General Plan Amendment No. 02-11 based upon the Findings of Fact contained in this Staff Report; and . Approve Tentative Tract Map No. 15940 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).

LAND USE PLANNING 15 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO P. .NNING AND BUILDING SERVK J INITIAL STUDY a) The proposed project site is currently zoned for single family residential lots, however 4.33 acres of the 13.73 total acres involved in the project is zoned RE, Residential Estate, rather than the RL, Residential Low zoning the project is planned for. Thus the applicant is requesting a General Plan Amendment to change the RE, Residential Estate land to RL, Residential Low in order to support the development proposed. The change would only allow an additional nine units on the same area of land, not a significant increase in overall land use density. Thus the impact of the additional nine units is a less than significant impact on the Land Use Plan/Zoning District Maps. 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 Foothi\1 Fire Zones thus no impact is anticipated. II. POPULATION AND HOUSING a-c) The project site is currently vacant; therefore the project will not displace any existing housing. The project will not induce growth since the majority of the surrounding land uses are currently developed with single-family residential land uses. The exception to this is the property to the east, across Palm A venue. It is currently vacant land. This land is within the proposed Tentative Tract Map No. 16457 and is currently proposed to become a 47 lot single-family residential subdivision as well as an approximately 5 acre park. Thus no impact is anticipated. III. EARTH RESOURCES aIb) The project site has a gentle slope from north to south of approximately 5%. 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 adhere to 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 wi\1 ensure that the project will have a less than significant impact on erosion, dust and unstable soils. d) The project does not lie within the boundaries of the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone as defined by Figure 47 of the City's General Plan, however it is within proximity of two different fault areas, and is within a basin known for geologic activity. The State of California recognizes that the entire state is within an area subject to seismic activity and has adopted the Uniform Building Code with modifications specifically for construction in seismically active areas; the state refers to the revised building code as the California Building Code (CBC) and requires it to be used as a minimum guideline for all construction activities within the state. Due to the regulations within the CBC the construction of single-family residential homes (which is expected if the proposed tentative tract map is approved) wi1\ have a less than significant impact due to seismic related issues. 16 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO P. .NNING AND BUILDING SERVIL ~ INITIAL STUDY e) The proposed project site does not contain any unique geologic or physical features based upon a field review, thus no impact is anticipated. o The project site lies within an area known to be prone to high winds and wind erosion as identified in Section l2.0-Geologic & Seismic, Figure 53, of the City's General Plan. However the project site will be subject to the regulations of the City of San Bernardino and the NPDES. The Earth Resources (ER) mitigation measures at the end ofthis section will ensure that the project will have a less than significant impact on the potential for wind erosIOn. g) The project site does not lie within or adjacent to any channel, creek, or river, therefore no impact is anticipated. h) The project site does lie 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. The Earth Resources (ER) mitigation measures at the end of this section will ensure that the project will have a less than significant impact due to the potential hazards of landslides, mudslides, subsidence or other similar hazards. i) The project site does not lie within an area subject to the hazards ofliquefaction as shown in Section 12-Geologic & Seismic, Figure 48 of the City's General Plan, thus no impacts are anticipated. ER-t All graded areas shall be protected from wind and water erosion through acceptable slope stabilization planting, walls, or netting. Interim erosion control plans shall be required, certified by the project engineer, and reviewed and approved by the Development Services Department. ER-2 Slopes created by grading of the site shall not exceed 50 percent or 2 horizontal to I vertical, without a soils report and stabilization study indicating a greater permissible slope, or shall not exceed 30 feet in height between terraces or benches, without approval of the Development Services Department; except that the Planning Commission may permit slopes exceeding these dimensions where slopes will result in a natural appearance and will not create geological or erosion hazards. ER-3 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 PM I 0 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. ER-4 The project proponent shall, prior to the issuance of grading permit, receive approval of an erosion control plan and PMIO plan from the Public Works Division of the Development Services t7 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PL..NNING AND BUILDING SERVIC..." INITIAL STUDY Department. ER-S The project proponent shall, prior to the issuance of a grading permit, prepare and submit for review and approval by the Development Services Department a detailed grading plan for the project site. The plan shall be prepared in conformance to the applicable standards and requirements of the City of San Bernardino Grading Ordinance and the Uniform Building Code. ER-6 The applicant shall, prior to the issuance of a grading permit, prepare and submit for review by the Development Services Department, a geotechnical investigation to include field borings and/or trenches as requested by the Public Works Division of the Development Services Department. The recommendations of the geotechnical investigation shall be incorporated into the project grading plans and earthwork specifications. ER-7 For adequate support of all proposed structures, the design of footings and foundations shall be in accordance with the regulations and recommendations as required by the state of California in the California Building Code (CBC) and the requested geotechnical investigation. ER-S An erosion control plan shall be prepared and implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific erosion control measures to control on-site and off-site erosion from the time of ground disturbing activities are initiated through grading completions. This erosion control plan shall include the following measures at a minimum. a. Specify the timing of grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in Southern California. b. An inspection and maintenance program shall be included to insure that any erosion which does occur either on-site or off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame. IV. WATER a) The proposed project will result in the eventual construction of homes and driveways on lands currently vacant. The amount of area available for percolation and drainage will be affected by the proposed project. However, the installation of landscaping on the residential lots will allow for the percolation of water into the ground. The project also proposes the development ofa landscaping corridor along the west side of Palm Avenue, as well as a landscaped area for the monument entry signage. The residential landscaping, the landscaped corridor and landscaping at the monument sign will be utilized for percolation through a method as deemed appropriate by the Water Department. Thus the proposed project will have a less than significant impact on ground water recharge. b) The proposed project will not alter the course or flow of flood waters according to the Public Works Staff, thus no impact is anticipated. c) The proposed project will potentially create polluted ground water run-off due to the proposed roads and driveways, as well as potential pesticides and other chemicals used by 18 L-_____ CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO . ANNING AND BUILDING SERVk "5 INITIAL STUDY the residents after construction. The project will be required to incorporate proper best management practices as well as an on-site system will be required to adequately clean water from roads and driveways, to meet NPDES standards. The mitigation of any potential impacts through NPDES regulations and best management practices will result in the project having a less than significant impact related to surface waters or run-off. d) The proposed project will not create changes in the quantity of ground water, the quality of groundwater will be mitigated through the mitigation required in item "c" above, and thus no impact is anticipated. e) The proposed project does not lie within an area identified in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Flood Insurance Rate Maps and thus no impact is anticipated due to flood hazards. To ensure that potential impacts associated with flooding and storm water quality and conveyance are less than significant, the following mitigation measures will be implemented. W -1 Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, a site-specific drainage study which meets the standards of the City of San Bernardino Public Works division will be prepared by a Civil Engineer registered in the State of California. All recommendations from this analysis, including facilities necessary to mitigate drainage impacts, maximize percolation and groundwater recharge to the extent feasible shall be incorporated in all grading and site improvement plans. W-2 The applicant shall mitigate on-site storm water discharge sufficiently to maintain compliance with the City's NPDES Storm Water Discharge Permit Requirements. A "Notice ofIntent (NO!)" shall be filed with the State Water Quality Control Board for construction disturbing 1 acre or more of land. W-J Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall submit a Storm Water Pollution and Prevention Plan (SWPPP) specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMP'S) that will be used on site to reduce the pollutants into the storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable. W-4 The plans for landscaping and fuel modification zones shall include provisions for controlling and minimizing the use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides. Areas landscaped or replanted for fire fuel modification shall be monitored and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable growth. V. AIR QUALITY a) The San Bernardino Valley portion of the SCAB is designated non-attainment for nitrogen dioxide, sulfates, particulate matter, and ozone. The criteria pollutants identified in the SCAB that would be associated with the proposed project include: . Ozone(OJ) t9 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO P~.~NNING AND BUILDING SERVK...S INITIAL STUDY . Carbon monoxide (CO) . Nitrogen dioxide (N02) . Particulate matter (PM,) . Sulfur dioxide (SO,) . Reactive Organic Compounds (ROC) The project has a potential impact for contributing to the existing air quality of the basin through vehicular trips from the residents coming to and from their homes, as well as through construction related vehicular trips and the potential for dust during construction and grading activities. In order to mitigate these potential impacts, the City requires the preparation and approval ofPMlO management plans, which shall be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Division. In addition, the project proponent shall implement the following Air Quality (AQ) mitigation measures shall be incorporated into the project to mitigate the potential impacts on air quality during construction activities. b) Some land uses and/or individuals are considered more sensitive to air pollution than others due to the types of population groups and activities involved. Sensitive population groups include children, the elderly, residential areas, and recreational land uses. The project site is located in an area of predominately residential land uses. The short-term nature of the construction, in light of the degree of development activity that has previously occurred in the area, will not negatively impact the local residents because implementation of . SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403 will reduce the amount of fugitive dust generated. See the AQ mitigation measures below for mitigation that will reduce the potential impact to a less than significant level. c-d) The proposed project will not significantly alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or cause any change in climate. The project is too small in scale to alter area temperature, moisture, or air movement. As development of an infill parcel, the operational emissions will be compatible and similar to like uses in the immediate area. AQ-l The project shall comply with the requirements of the SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403, fugitive dust, which requires the implementation of Reasonable Available Control Measures (RACM) for all fugitive dust sources, and the Air Quality Management Plan (AMCP), which identifies Best Available Control Measures (BACM) and Best Available Control Technologies (BACT) for area sources and point sources, respectively. AQ-2 I. The project proponent shall ensure that construction equipment shall be properly maintained and serviced to minimize exhaust emissions. 2. The project proponent shall ensure that existing power sources are utilized where feasible via temporary power poles to avoid on-site power generation. 3. The project proponent shall ensure that construction personnel be informed of ride sharing 20 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO P. .NNING AND BUILDING SERVIC. INITIAL STUDY and transit opportunities. 4. The project proponent shall ensure that any portion of the site to be graded shall be pre- watered to a depth of three feet prior to the onset of grading activities. 5. 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 workday. 6. The project proponent shall ensure that all disturbed areas are treated to prevent erosion until the site is constructed upon. 7. The project proponent shall ensure that landscaped areas are installed as soon as possible to reduce the potential for wind erosion. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. All buildings on the project site shall conform to energy use guidelines in Title 24 of the California Administrative Code. AQ-3 To reduce emissions all equipment used in grading and construction must be tuned and maintained to the manufactures specification to maximize burning of vehicle fuel. AQ-4 The residences shall be constructed to CBCIUBC standards for insulation of walls, roofs, windows, etc. to minimize emissions from home heating and cooling. AQ-5 The residences should be built with natural gas fireplaces to reduce the criteria pollutant emissions of wood smoke. VI. TRAFFIC/CIRCULATION a) The proposed project was examined by the Traffic Engineers in the Public Works Division and determined that a Traffic Study will not be required due to the scale of the project. The proposed project is of a scale that although traffic will increase incrementally, it is a less than significant impact. b) Although the project proposes to add two new local roads off of Irvington A venue the roads will only be used to access the new residential lots and will not alter present pattems of circulation. The impact will be less than significant. 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. e) The proposed project when developed with single-family residential dwellings will be 21 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PI...~NNING AND BUILDING SERVICM INITIAL STUDY required to supply the minimum on-site parking per dwelling consisting of a two-car garage with a minimum interior dimension of20' x 20' clear space. This will conform to the requirements of Section 19.24 of the Development Code. No impact is anticipated. o Although there may be an incremental increase to the existing vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists in the area the project scale is sufficiently small enough, and corresponds with the existing land uses to the extent that the potential impact is less than significant. g) The proposed project will not conflict with existing policies regarding alternative transportation and no impact is anticipated. h) Emergency access would require one means of access to the project site, the proposed project will incorporate two means of access into the development tract, both off of Irvington Avenue and no impact to emergency access is anticipated. VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES a) The project site does not lie within the Biological Resources Overlay as identified in Section 10-Natural Resources, Figure 41 of the City's General Plan. No impact to any biological resources is anticipated. b) The proposed project site is a small (13.73 acre) site surrounded by existing residential development. The site contains some wild grasses and weeds, with a few existing (but not native) palm trees along Palm Avenue. The project does not lie within a biological resource overlay district and has not been identified as being potential habitat for any endangered species. No impact is anticipated. c) The project site is surrounded on all sides by development, north, south and west are developed residentially and the east side runs parallel to Palm Avenue, a major arterial providing the main access route to the 1-215 freeway. The existing development and the abutting arterial roadway preclude this site from being accessible as wildlife disbursal or migration corridor. No impact is anticipated. e) The site does not contain, nor is it adjacent to any wetland habitat, no impact is anticipated. f) The site does not contain any mature trees according to the Preliminary Project Description form submitted. The only trees existing on the site are non-native palm trees planted along Palm Avenue. These trees are not of mature growth, the tallest one appears to be no more than 10'-12' tall. No impact is anticipated. VIII. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES a) The project will not result in any conflicts with adopted energy conservation measures as required by the City of San Bernardino. Compliance with existing codes, ordinances, 22 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO . _ANNING AND BUILDING SERVkiS INITIAL STUDY recognized conservation measures, and ongoing "best available technologies" will OCcur with City approval of the final project plans to reduce any net decrease in energy resources. As proposed, the project will not create any significant demand on existing/planned energy resources and facilities. No impact is anticipated. b) Non-renewable resources to be used by the project include diesel fuel, and natural gas. All uses shall be designed to be efficient; no wasteful use of non-renewable resources will occur. No impact is anticipated. c) No loss of valuable mineral resources will occur with the development of the project. The project will demand aggregate resources in the construction of streets, lots and buildings. Steel, concrete, and asphalt will be required as part of construction. These resources are commercially available in the southern California region without any constraint and no potential for adverse impacts to the natural resource base supporting these materials is forecast to occur over the foreseeable future. This demand is not significant due to the abundance of available local aggregate resources. No impact is anticipated. IX. HAZARDS a) Hazardous or toxic materials transported in association with construction of the project may include items such as oils and fuels. All materials required during construction will be kept in compliance with State and local regulations. With implementation of best management practices and compliance with all applicable regulations the potential impact from the expected hazardous materials is not significant. b) The project site is not listed in the State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5(E). The end use of the site is single family residential. This use does not involve the use or storage of hazardous or toxic substances. Thus no impact is anticipated. c) Numerous visits to the site for field surveys and observations have not revealed the presence of discarded drums, containers, or hazardous waste, and there is no indication of underground storage tanks. Some minor refuse has littered the site, however, given the domestic nature of the refuse it is unlikely that hazardous materials are present. No impact is anticipated. Although the site is not on the State Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List and is not proposing a land use that involves the use, manufacturing, storage or transport of hazardous or potentially hazardous materials and no impacts are anticipated, the following mitigation measures are to be implemented in order to ensure that there will continue to be no impacts throughout the course of development. H-I Any hazardous waste/materials encountered during the construction should be remediated in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Prior to initiating any construction activities, an environmental assessment shall be conducted to determine if a release of hazardous wastes/substances 23 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO p, .NNING AND BUILDING SERVK_.; INITIAL STUDY exists at the site. H-2 If it is detennined that hazardous wastes are. or will be, generated by the proposed project, the wastes must be managed in accordance with the California Hazardous Waste Control Law) California Health and Safety code, Division 20, Chapter 6.5) and the Hazardous Waste Control Regulations (California Code of Regulations, Title 22. Division 4.5). Furthennore, if it is detennined that hazardous wastes will be generated, the developer shall obtain a United States Environmental Protection Agency Identification Number by phoning (800) 618-6942. H-3 If during construction of the project. soil and/or groundwater contamination is suspected, construction in the area shall cease and appropriate Health and Safety procedures should be implemented. If it is detennined that contaminated soil and/or remediation will be conducted, and the government agency to provide appropriate regulatory oversight. X. NOISE a) The project site is located near residential neighborhoods. There are no major noise sources located near the site. The proposal is to subdivide the land for future development as a residential tract. No impact is anticipated. b) The project requests approval ofa tentative tract map in order to divide the land for residential development. No commercial or industrial uses are proposed. No impact is anticipated. c) Short-tenn construction noise may affect adjacent residences during on-site construction from equipment and vibration from excavation and grading. In order to ensure that noise impacts associated with the construction are reduced to a less than significant level, the applicant shall comply with the following mitigation measure. N-l All construction activities shall be limited to the hours of7a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Additionally the following requirements shall be imposed in order to further mitigate the impact of construction noise. . All construction vehicles shall have mufflers and be maintained in good operating order at all times. . All trucks waiting to be loaded or unloaded with construction material shall not be left to idle for more than 10 minutes. XI. PUBLIC SERVICES a- g) All development projects have an impact on public services. The 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 of San Bernardino Fire Department and incorporated into the project design. The project as proposed meets the City's current standards for fire protection. Any impacts of the proposed project on public services are expected 24 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PL.NNING AND BUILDING SERVK~.j INITIAL STUDY to be less than significant. XII. UTILITIES a) The proposed project will be connected to all utilities. Natural gas service will be provided to the project site by the Southern California Gas Company. The project will not impact the company's ability to provide adequate levels of service nor will it create the need to increase capacity. Service will be provided from the nearest existing gas main within Palm and Irvington Avenues, without any significant impact on service or the environment. The project developer and individual homeowners, however, will be required to pay both hook- up fees and on-going monthly usage fees for utility service, which will offset the use of these services, and lower the impacts to a less than significant level. b) Electricity will be provided to the project site by Southern California Edison (SCE). Project operations will not impact SCE's ability to provide adequate levels of service nor will it create the need to increase capacity. The future tenants will pay service fees for electricity used. The impact to existing services will be less than significant. c) The proposed project would require telephone service. The project site is within the service area ofVerizon (formerly General Telephone). The service can be extended to the site without any significant impact to existing service in the area. d) Existing water mains are present in Palm and Irvington A venues. Water supply is provided by the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department. The department can provide water service to the development subject to the hydraulic limitations within the pressures zones adjacent to the development and receipt of payment of all costs and fees for water service as established by the SBMWD rules and regulations in effect at the time of the application. No impact to water distribution will result from the implementation of the proposed project. e) The existing sewer main in Palm or Irvington Avenues will be extended to the project site. The site is within the City of San Bernardino sewage service area, which has adequate capacity to service the proposed project. Appropriate Sewer Connection Fees will be required by the Department of Public Works through standard conditions of approval. Any impacts to the sewer system will be less than significant. f) Development of the proposed project will increase surface water run-off due to the addition of impervious surfaces. Drainage infrastructure will be connected to the existing storm water system. The Division of Public Works, through standard conditions of approval, will require appropriate Drainage Impact Fees. Additionally as noted in the water section of this report the project will be subject to appropriate mitigation of pollutants through the NPDES. Any impacts to the storm water drainage system will be less than significant. 25 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO P ~...NNING AND BUILDING SERVK~~ INITIAL STUDY g) The project site is located in a developed residential area that has adequate utility service to provide for additional demands. The project will convert a 13.73 acre vacant parcel into residential uses that will place incremental increase in demand on all utilities. Utility systems are in place to serve the surrounding areas and are planned to provide service to the project site. No impact is anticipated. XIII. AESTHETICS a) The proposed project site is in a single-family residential area. The approval of the proposed tentative tract map would result in the development of the project site with 41 single-family residential structures. The existing site is relatively flat with a north-south slope of approximately 5%. The future development will be consistent with the single- family residential development existing in the area at this time. The future development will not obstruct any important scenic views for the surrounding neighborhood. Any impact is anticipated to be less than significant. b) The visual impact of the proposed project will not create an offensive change to setting of the area. Comparable development is existing in the immediate surrounding area. The proposed residential development is consistent with existing development. No impact is anticipated. c) The site is located within an area with surrounding land use designation of single- family residential (RE and RL). Incremental increases oflight and glare will be created by the proposed project through the installation of streetlights on the internal project streets. This is one of the last undeveloped parcels in the area, and the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding area. Standard conditions of approval for the project will ensure compliance with the City's Development Code standards for light and glare as contained in section 19.20 of the Development Code. Any impact is anticipated to be less than significant. XIV. CULTURAL RESOURCES 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 aIb) Development of the project site will result in an incremental need for additional recreation facilities. Project development will have an incremental effect on the demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities, and it will affect existing 26 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO .. ~ANNING AND BUILDING SERVILr..S INITIAL STUDY recreational opportunities. The project proposed on the opposite side of Palm A venue is actually proposing to create a five acre park just east of the project site, and other nearby projects are also adding parks. thus the amount of park and recreation areas is increasing as projects in the area increase. The proposed project is at a small enough scale where the impacts will not be significant to 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 and access corridors. The Initial Study also identifies potential impacts to earth resources and 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 by measures included in the Initial Study. These mitigation measures will 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. 27 ATTACHMENT F GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 02-11 & TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15940 MITIGATION MONITORINGIREPORTING PROGRAM This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared to implement the mitigation measures outlined in the Program Environmental Impact Report for the subdivision ofland proposed at the northwest comer of Palm and Irvington Avenues. 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 2 I 08 1.6 requires adoption of a monitoring andlor 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 shall 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. MITIGATION MEASURES III.

BACKGROUND The project was reviewed and moved to Planning Commission by the Development Environmental Review Committee on May 29,2003. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL OUALITY ACT (CEOA) STATUS An Initial Study was prepared to address potential impacts related to the proposed General Plan Amendment and development of this project. The Initial Study identified mitigation measures necessary to reduce potential impacts to a level of less than significant. A Notice of Intent was prepared and the Initial Study was released for public review and comment period from May 8, 2003 to May 27,2003. No comments were received during this period. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been included through the Conditions of Approval. General Plan Amendment No 02-11 'entative Tract Map No, 16457 Hearing Date 06/17103 Page 3 FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS FOR THE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 1, Is the proposed amendment internally consistent with the General Plan? The proposed amendment is consistent with GoallG(b), which states: "It shall be the goal of the City of San Bernardino to allow for the infill and recycling of areas at their prevailing scale and character, " The amendment maintains the land for low density, single-family residential use, consistent with adjacent residential development 2, Would the proposed amendment not be materially detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City? The proposed amendment would not be materially detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City as it would add only eleven more developable parcels than would be allowed under the current land use designation, and it would be benefiting the public interest, health, safety, convenience and welfare through the dedication of approximately 4,7 acres for a park, The increase in the number of lots does not create impacts that can not be mitigated to a level of less than significant. 3. Would the proposed amendment maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City? The proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City as it would be maintaining the land for single-family residential use. 4. Is the subject parcel physically suitable (including, but not limited to, access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested land use designation(s) and the anticipated land use development? The subject parcel is physically suitable for the requested land use designation and the anticipated land use development in that it will be providing access'through new streets adjoining Irvington and Olive A venues, all utilities would be provided as part of the development of the new tract, it would be similar to the land use to the east and that proposed to the west and compatible with the land uses to the north and south, and the land is absent of physical constraints. General Plan Amendment No 02-11 "entative Tract Map No. 16457 Hearing Date 06/17/03 Page 4 FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS FOR THE TENTATIVE TRACT 1. Is the proposed map consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code? Yes, the proposed subdivision map is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code (provided the requested General Plan Amendment is approved). The parcels created will meet minimum development criteria as shown below: DEVELOPMENT CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE CATEGORY PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT GENERAL PLAN CODE Permitted Use Residential Subdivision Permitted Permitted Lot Size 10,800 SF (minimum) 10,800 SF (minimum) 10,800 SF (minimum) Lot Width 80' (minimum)-interior 80' (minimum)-interior N/A 88' (minimum)-comer 88' (minimum)-corner Lot Depth 118' (minimum) )00' (minimum) N/A Each lot will have direct and approved access, All lots shall have Access parking, utilities, direct access to a N/A drainage, sewer, and public street. water. 2. Is the design of the proposed subdivision consistent with the General Plan? Yes, the proposed design and improvements are consistent with General Plan Objective 1.8, which states that it is the objective of the City to: "Provide lands to accommodate housing units which meet the diverse economic and social needs of the residents; locating development to a) retain the scale and character of existing residential neighborhoods; b) facilitate the upgrade and intensification of declining mixed-density residential neighborhoods; and c) allow expansion into vacant and low-intensity use lands within infrastructure and environmental constraints. " General Plan Amendment No 02-11 'entative Tract Map No. 164S7 Hearing Date 06/17/03 PageS The proposed project will create 47 new single family residential properties within an existing residential area. The design and layout of these new lots are consistent with the adjacent single family residential lots in the area. The proposed map (and expected future development) will retain the scale and character of the existing residential neighborhood. The future development of the site with single family residential homes will be compatible with the residential character of the development in the surrounding area, as well as the general plan. The proposed development is also consistent with the General Plan GoaIIG(j), which states: "Locate commercial and human services, recreation, and jobs in proximity to residents. . The proposal includes approximately 4.7 acres which will be dedicated as a park: to serve the recreational needs of the residents, thus establishing compatibility with the General Plan by adding recreational service areas. 3. Is the site physically suitable for the type of proposed development? Yes, the 15.56 acre site is physically suitable for the proposed residential development. The Tentative Tract Map conforms to the subdivision design standards specified by the Development Code in that it meets the minimum lot size for the RL, Residential Low land use district. All of the proposed lots contain sufficient buildable area and will have direct access to a dedicated roadway. Connecting to the existing infrastructure will provide water, sewer, power, gas, telephone, and cable to the site. 4. Is the site physically suitable for the proposed density of development? Yes, the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development in that the division of land is consistent with the Subdivision Map Act and the proposed lots will be compatible in design with the current Development Code and the surrounding residential lots. The proposed density of the project is 2.1 units per gross acre, well under the allowed 3.1 units per gross acre in the RL land use district. 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 (pursuant to CEQA Guidelines) to identify potential impacts and determine appropriate mitigation measures. No impacts were identified that could not be mitigated to a level of less than significant, and the mitigation measures have been included the presence and extent of any environmental issues that could result from the subdivision. This project would be subject to General Plan Amendment No 02-11 entalive Tracl Map No. 164S7 Hearing Dale 06/17103 Page 6 mitigation measures in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan as previously addressed. 6. Is the design of the subdivision likely to cause serious public health problems? No, the lots being created each have access to an existing dedicated street. The design of the proposed subdivision meets all of the applicable requirements for the RL, Residential Low land use district and is unlikely to result in any 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 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 by the Public Works/Engineering Division through processing of the Final Map.

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. Attach additional sheets, if necessary): The proposed project consists of the following components: a General Plan Amendment to change 5.14 acres from RE, Residential Estate to RL, Residential Low land use designation, while leaving the remaining 5.21 acres of RE, Residential Estate land use designation as RE for a future park and a Tentative Tract Map to subdivide approximately 15.56 acres ofland into 47 single-family residential properties. The project lies within the High Wind Overlay zone. The project site is currently vacant. The proposed project does not include any construction at this time, but will prepare the land for future development of 47 single-family residences. A perimeter wall will be required when development is proposed. The northeast comer of Palm A venue and Irvington Avenue will be an entry point and will be treated with a monument sign for the tract. The project includes an approximately 5.21 acre park site and a landscape belt along the Irvington Avenue street frontage. The project site features various topographic natural slopes which generally follows a pattern of approximately 5% downward slope from the north portion of the site toward Irvington Avenue at the southern portion of the site (Figure 1). CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO . ~ANNING AND BUILDING SERVkLS INITIAL STUDY Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The site is situated at the northeast comer of Palm and Irvington Avenues. Most of the area to the north of the project is developed with single-family residential uses, however some is vacant land. The westerly portion of the project site is planned to become a 5.21 acre park. The adjacent area to the west of the site across Palm Avenue is vacant land planned for subdivision into 41 single-family residential properties. To the east of the site is a single- family residential subdivision. On the south across Irvington Avenue is a single-family residential neighborhood and to the north are also single-family residential properties. Table 1 identifies surrounding land use and zoning.

LAND USE PLANNING a) The proposed project site is currently zoned for single family residential lots, however 5.14 acres of the 15.56 total acres is zoned RE, Residential Estate, rather than the RL, Residential Low zoning the project is planned for. Thus the applicant is requesting a General Plan Amendment to change the RE, Residential Estate land to RL, Residential Low in order to sustain the development proposed. The change would only allow approximately an additional ten units on the same area ofland, not a significant increase in overall land use density. Thus the impact of the additional ten units is a less than significant impact on the Land Use Plan/Zoning District Maps. 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-c) The project site is currently vacant; therefore the project will not displace any existing housing. The project will not induce growth since the majority of the surrounding land uses are currently developed with single-family residential land uses. The exception to this is the property to the east, across Palm Avenue. It is currently vacant land. This land is within the proposed Tentative Tract Map No. 16457 and is currently proposed to become a 47 lot single-family residential subdivision as well as an approximately 5 acre park. Thus no impact is anticipated. III. EARTH RESOURCES aJb) The project site has a gentle slope from north to south of approximately 5%. 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 adhere to 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 does not lie within the boundaries of the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone as defined by Figure 47 of the City's General Plan, however it is within proximity of two different fault areas, and is within a basin known for geologic activity. The State of California recognizes that the entire state is within an area subject to seismic activity and has adopted the Uniform Building Code with modifications specifically for construction in seismically active areas, the state refers to the revised building code as the California 16 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO . ~ANNING AND BUILDING SERVk.~S INITIAL STUDY Building Code (CBe) and requires it to be used as a minimum guideline for all construction activities within the state. Due to the regulations within the CBe the construction of single-family residential homes (which is expected if the proposed tentative tract map is approved) will have a less than significant impact due to seismic related issues. e) The proposed project site does not contain any unique geologic or physical features based upon a field review, thus no impact is anticipated. t) The project site lies 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. However the project site will be subject to the regulations of the City of San Bernardino and the 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 the potential for wind erosIOn. g) The project site does not lie within or adjacent to any channel, creek, or river, therefore no impact is anticipated. h) The project site does lie within an area subject to landslides, mudslides, subsidence, or other similar hazards according to Section l2-Geologic & Seismic, Figures 48, 51, 52, and 53 of the City's General Plan. The Earth Resources (ER) mitigation measures at the end of this section will ensure that the project will have a less than significant impact due to the potential hazards of landslides, mudslides, subsidence or other similar hazards. i) 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. ER-l All graded areas shall be protected from wind and water erosion through acceptable slope stabilization planting, walls, or netting. Interim erosion control plans shall be required, certified by the project engineer, and reviewed and approved by the Development Services Department. ER-2 Slopes created by grading of the site shall not exceed 50 percent or 2 horizontal to I vertical, without a soils report and stabilization study indicating a greater permissible slope, or shall not exceed 30 feet in height between terraces or benches, without approval of the Development Services Department; except that the Planning Commission may permit slopes exceeding these dimensions where slopes will result in a natural appearance and will not create geological or erosion hazards. ER-3 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 ofPMIO plans prior to the issuance of grading permits. The PMIO plan for the proposed project will 17 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO ~_ANNING AND BUILDING SERVIL~S INITIAL STUDY 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. ER-4 The project proponent shall, prior to the issuance of grading permit, receive approval of an erosion control plan and PMlO plan from the Public Works Division of the Development Services Department. ER-S The project proponent shall, prior to the issuance of a grading permit, prepare and submit for review and approval by the Development Services Department a detailed grading plan for the project site. The plan shall be prepared in conformance to the applicable standards and requirements of the City of San Bernardino Grading Ordinance and the Uniform Building Code. ER-6 The applicant shall, prior to the issuance of a grading permit, prepare and submit for review by the Development Services Department, a geotechnical investigation to include field borings and/or trenches as requested by the Public Works Division of the Development Services Department. The recommendations ofthe geotechnical investigation shall be incorporated into the project grading plans and earthwork specifications. ER-7 For adequate support of all proposed structures, the design of footings and foundations shall be in accordance with the regulations and recommendations as required by the state of California in the California Building Code (CBC) and the requested geotechnical investigation. ER-S An erosion control plan shall be prepared and implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific erosion control measures to control on-site and off-site erosion from the time of ground disturbing activities are initiated through grading completions. This erosion control plan shall include the following measures at a minimum. a. Specify the timing of grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in Southern California. b. An inspection and maintenance program shall be included to insure that any erosion which does occur either on-site or off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame. IV. WATER 18 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO P~ .NNING AND BUILDING SERVIC~J INITIAL STUDY a) The proposed project will result in the eventual construction of homes and driveways on lands currently vacant. The amount of area available for percolation and drainage will be affected by the proposed project. However, the installation of landscaping on the residential lots will allow for the percolation of water into the ground. The project also proposes the development of a landscaping corridor along the west side of Palm Avenue, as well as a landscaped area for the monument entry signage. The residential landscaping, the landscaped corridor and landscaping at the monument sign will be utilized for percolation through a method as deemed appropriate by the Water Department. Thus the proposed project will have a less than significant impact on ground water recharge. b) The proposed project will not alter the course or flow of flood waters according to the Public Works Staff, thus no impact is anticipated. c) The proposed project will potentially create polluted ground water run-off due to the proposed roads and driveways, as well as potential pesticides and other chemicals used by the residents after construction. The project will be required to incorporate proper best management practices as well as an on-site system will be required to adequately clean water from roads and driveways. to meet NPDES standards. The mitigation of any potential impacts through NPDES regulations and best management practices will result in the project having a less than significant impact related to surface waters or run-off. d) The proposed project will not create changes in the quantity of ground water, the quality of groundwater will be mitigated through the mitigation required in item "c" above, and thus no impact is anticipated. e) The proposed project does not lie within an area identified in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Flood Insurance Rate Maps and thus no impact is anticipated due to flood hazards. To ensure that potential impacts associated with flooding and storm water quality and conveyance are less than significant, the following mitigation measures will be implemented. W -1 Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, a site-specific drainage study which meets the standards of the City of San Bernardino Public Works division will be prepared by a Civil Engineer registered in the State of California. All recommendations from this analysis, including facilities necessary to mitigate drainage impacts, maximize percolation and groundwater recharge to the extent feasible shall be incorporated in all grading and site improvement plans. W-2 The applicant shall mitigate on-site storm water discharge sufficiently to maintain compliance with the City's NPDES Storm Water Discharge Permit Requirements. A "Notice ofIntent (NOI)" shall be filed with the State Water Quality Control Board for construction disturbing I acre or more of land. W-J Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall submit a Storm Water Pollution and 19 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO i _ANNING AND BUILDING SERVIL..S INITIAL STUDY. Prevention Plan (SWPPPl specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMP'S) that will be used on site to reduce the pollutants into the storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable. W-4 The plans for landscaping and fuel modification zones shall include provisions for controlling and minimizing the use of fertilizerslpesticides/herbicides. Areas landscaped or replanted for fire fuel modification shall be monitored and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable growth. V, AIR QUALITY a) The San Bernardino Valley portion of the SCAB is designated non-attainment for nitrogen dioxide, sulfates, particulate matter, and ozone. The criteria pollutants identified in the SCAB that would be associated with the proposed project include: . Ozone(03) . Carbon monoxide (CO) . Nitrogen dioxide (N02) . Particulate matter (PM,) . Sulfur dioxide (SO,) . Reactive Organic Compounds (ROC) The project has a potential impact for contributing to the existing air quality of the basin through vehicular trips from the residents coming to and from their homes, as well as through construction related vehicular trips and the potential for dust during construction and grading activities. In order to mitigate these potential impacts, the City requires the preparation and approval ofPMlO management plans, which shall be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Division. In addition, the project proponent shall implement the following Air Quality (AQ) mitigation measures shall be incorporated into the project to mitigate the potential impacts on air quality during construction activities. b) Some land uses and/or individuals are considered more sensitive to air pollution than others due to the types of population groups and activities involved. Sensitive population groups include children, the elderly, residential areas, and recreational land uses. The project site is located in an area of predominately residential land uses. The short-term nature of the construction, in light of the degree of development activity that has previously occurred in the area, will not negatively impact the local residents because implementation of SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403 will reduce the amount of fugitive dust generated. See the AQ mitigation measures below for mitigation that will reduce the potential impact to a less than significant level. cod) The proposed project will not significantly alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or cause any change in climate. The project is too small in scale to alter area temperature, 20 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO Pl .NNING AND BUILDING SERVIC... ~ INITIAL STUDY moisture, or air movement. As development of an infill parcel, the operational emissions will be compatible and similar to like uses in the immediate area. AQ-I The project shall comply with the requirements of the SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403, fugitive dust, which requires the implementation of Reasonable Available Control Measures (RACM) for all fugitive dust sources, and the Air Quality Management Plan (AMCP), which identifies Best Available Control Measures (BACM) and Best Available Control Technologies (BACT) for area sources and point sources, respectively. AQ-2 I. 2. 3. 4. 5. The project proponent shall ensure that construction equipment shall be properly maintained and serviced to minimize exhaust emissions. The project proponent shall ensure that existing power sources are utilized where feasible via temporary power poles to avoid on-site power generation. The project proponent shall ensure that construction personnel be informed of ride sharing and transit opportunities. The project proponent shall ensure that any portion of the site to be graded shall be pre- watered to a depth of three feet prior to the onset of grading activities. 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 workday. 6. The project proponent shall ensure that all disturbed areas are treated to prevent erosion until the site is constructed upon. 7. The project proponent shall ensure that landscaped areas are installed as soon as possible to reduce the potential for wind erosion. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. All buildings on the project site shall conform to energy use guidelines in Title 24 of the California Administrative Code. AQ-3 To reduce emissions all equipment used in grading and construction must be tuned and maintained to the manufactures specification to maximize burning of vehicle fuel. AQ-4 The residences shall be constructed to CBCIUBC standards for insulation of walls, roofs, windows, etc. to minimize emissions from home heating and cooling. AQ-S The residences should be built with natural gas fireplaces to reduce the criteria pollutant emissions of wood smoke. VI. TRAFFIC/CIRCULATION 21 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO 1 .~NNING AND BUILDING SERVIL~S INITIAL STUDY a) The proposed project was examined by the Traffic Engineers in the Public Works Division and determined that a Traffic Study will not be required due to the scale of the project. The proposed project is of a scale that although traffic will increase incrementally, it is a less than significant impact. b) Although the project proposes to add two new local roads off of Irvington A venue the roads will only be used to access the new residential lots and will not alter present patterns of circulation. The impact will be less than significant. 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. e) The proposed project when developed with single-family residential dwellings will be required to supply the minimum on-site parking per dwelling consisting of a two-car garage with a minimum interior dimension of 20' x 20' clear space. This will conform to the requirements of Section 19.24 of the Development Code. No impact is anticipated. f) Although there may be an incremental increase to the existing vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists in the area the project scale is sufficiently small enough. and corresponds with the existing land uses to the extent that the potential impact is less than significant. g) The proposed project will not conflict with existing policies regarding alternative transportation and no impact is anticipated. h) Emergency access would require one means of access to the project site, the proposed project will incorporate two means of access into the development tract, both off of Irvington A venue and no impact to emergency access is anticipated. VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES a) 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. No impact to any biological resources is anticipated. b) The proposed project site is a small (13.73 acre) site surrounded by existing residential development. The site contains some wild grasses and weeds, with a few existing (but not native) palm trees along Palm Avenue. The project does not lie within a biological resource overlay district and has not been identified as being potential habitat for any endangered species. No impact is anticipated. c) The project site is surrounded on all sides by development, north, south and west are developed residentially and the east side runs parallel to Palm Avenue, a major arterial 22 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO P. NNING AND BUILDING SERVIC. INITIAL STUDY providing the main access route to the 1-215 freeway. The existing development and the abutting arterial roadway preclude this site from being accessible as wildlife disbursal or migration corridor. No impact is anticipated. e) The site does not contain, nor is it adjacent to any wetland habitat, no impact is anticipated. f) The site does not contain any mature trees according to the Preliminary Project Description form submitted. The only trees existing on the site are non-native palm trees planted along Palm A venue. These trees are not of mature growth, the tallest one appears to be no more than 10'-12' tall. No impact is anticipated. VIII. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES a) The project will not result in any conflicts with adopted energy conservation measures as required by the City of San Bernardino. Compliance with existing codes, ordinances, recognized conservation measures, and ongoing "best available technologies" will occur with City approval of the final project plans to reduce any net decrease in energy resources. As proposed, the project will not create any significant demand on existing/planned energy resources and facilities. No impact is anticipated. b) Non-renewable resources to be used by the project include diesel fuel, and natural gas. All uses shall be designed to be efficient; no wasteful use of non-renewable resources will occur. No impact is anticipated. c) No loss of valuable mineral resources will occur with the development of the project. The project will demand aggregate resources in the construction of streets, lots and buildings. Steel, concrete, and asphalt will be required as part of construction. These resources are commercially available in the southern California region without any constraint and no potential for adverse impacts to the natural resource base supporting these materials is forecast to occur over the foreseeable future. This demand is not significant due to the abundance of available local aggregate resources. No impact is anticipated. IX. HAZARDS a) Hazardous or toxic materials transported in association with construction of the project may include items such as oils and fuels. All materials required during construction will be kept in compliance with State and local regulations. With implementation of best management practices and compliance with all applicable regulations the potential impact from the expected hazardous materials is not significant. b) The project site is not listed in the State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5(E). The end use of the site is single family residential. This use does not involve the use or storage of hazardous or toxic substances. Thus no impact is anticipated. 23 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO l .-\NNING AND BUILDING SERVIL_S INITIAL STUDY c) Numerous visits to the site for field surveys and observations have not revealed the presence of discarded drums, containers, or hazardous waste, and there is no indication of underground storage tanks. Some minor refuse has littered the site, however, given the domestic nature of the refuse it is unlikely that hazardous materials are present. No impact is anticipated. Although the site is not on the State Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List and is not proposing a land use that involves the use, manufacturing, storage or transport of hazardous or potentially hazardous materials and no impacts are anticipated, the following mitigation measures are to be implemented in order to ensure that there will continue to be no impacts throughout the course of development. H-I Any hazardous waste/materials encountered during the construction should be remediated in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Prior to initiating any construction activities, an environmental assessment shall be conducted to determine if a release of hazardous wastes/substances exists at the site. H-2 If it is determined that hazardous wastes are, or will be, generated by the proposed project, the wastes must be managed in accordance with the California Hazardous Waste Control Law) California Health and Safety code, Division 20, Chapter 6.5) and the Hazardous Waste Control Regulations (California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 4.5). Furthermore, if it is determined that hazardous wastes will be generated, the developer shall obtain a United States Environmental Protection Agency Identification' Number by phoning (800) 618-6942. H-3 If during construction of the project, soil and/or groundwater contamination is suspected, construction in the area shall cease and appropriate Health and Safety procedures should be implemented. If it is determined that contaminated soil and/or remediation will be conducted, and the government agency to provide appropriate regulatory oversight. X. NOISE a) The project site is located near residential neighborhoods. There are no major noise sources located near the site. The proposal is to subdivide the land for future development as a residential tract. No impact is anticipated. b) The project requests approval ofa tentative tract map in order to divide the land for residential development. No commercial or industrial uses are proposed. No impact is anticipated. c) Short-term construction noise may affect adjacent residences during on-site construction from equipment and vibration from excavation and grading. In order to ensure that noise impacts associated with the construction are reduced to a less than significant level, the applicant shall comply with the following mitigation measure. N-I All construction activities shall be limited to the hours of7a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. 24 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO f. .NNING AND BUILDING SERVK_..; INITIAL STUDY Additionally the following requirements shall be imposed in order to further mitigated the impact of construction noise. . All construction vehicles shall have mufflers and be maintained in good operating order at all times. . All trucks waiting to be loaded or unloaded with construction material shall not be left to idle for more than 10 minutes. XI. PUBLIC SERVICES a- g) All development projects have an impact on public services. The 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 of San Bernardino Fire Department and incorporated into the project design. The project as proposed meets the City's current standards for fire protection. Any impacts of the proposed project on public services are expected to be less than significant. XII. UTILITIES a) The proposed project will be connected to all utilities. Natural gas service will be provided to the project site by the Southern California Gas Company. The project will not impact the company's ability to provide adequate levels of service nor will it create the need to increase capacity. Service will be provided from the nearest existing gas main within Palm and Irvington Avenues, without any significant impact on service or the environment. The project developer and individual homeowners, however, will be required to pay both hook- up fees and on-going monthly usage fees for utility service, which will offset the use of these services, and lower the impacts to a less than significant level. b) Electricity will be provided to the project site by Southern California Edison (SCE). Project operations will not impact SCE's ability to provide adequate levels of service nor will it create the need to increase capacity. The future tenants will pay service fees for electricity used. The impact to existing services will be less than significant. c) The proposed project would require telephone service. The project site is within the service area ofVerizon (formerly General Telephone). The service can be extended to the site without any significant impact to existing service in the area. d) Existing water mains are present in Palm and Irvington Avenues. Water supply is provided by the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department. The department can provide water service to the development subject to the hydraulic limitations within the pressures 25 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO I \NNING AND BUILDING SERVIL_.'i INITIAL STUDY zones adjacent to the development and receipt of payment of all costs and fees for water service as established by the SBMWD rules and regulations in effect at the time of the application. No impact to water distribution will result from the implementation of the proposed project. e) The existing sewer main in Palm or Irvington Avenues will be extended to the project site. The site is within the City of San Bernardino sewage service area, which has adequate capacity to service the proposed project. Appropriate Sewer Connection Fees will be required by the Department of Public Works through standard conditions of approval. Any impacts to the sewer system will be less than significant. f) Development of the proposed project will increase surface water run-off due to the addition of impervious surfaces. Drainage infrastructure will be connected to the existing storm water system. The Division of Public Works, through standard conditions of approval, will require appropriate Drainage Impact Fees. Additionally as noted in the water section of this report the project will be subject to appropriate mitigation of pollutants through the NPDES. Any impacts to the storm water drainage system will be less than significant. g) The project site is located in a developed residential area that has adequate utility service to provide for additional demands. The project will convert a 13.73 acre vacant parcel into residential uses that will place incremental increase in demand on all utilities. Utility systems are in place to serve the surrounding areas and are planned to provide service to the project site. No impact is anticipated. XIII. AESTHETICS a) The proposed project site is in a single-family residential area. The approval of the proposed tentative tract map would result in the development of the project site with 41 single-family residential structures. The existing site is relatively flat with a north-south slope of approximately 5%. The future development will be consistent with the single- family residential development existing in the area at this time. The future development will not obstruct any important scenic views for the surrounding neighborhood. Any impact is anticipated to be less than significant. b) The visual impact of the proposed project will not create an offensive change to selling of the area. Comparable development is existing in the immediate surrounding area. The proposed residential development is consistent with existing development. No impact is anticipated. c) The site is located within an area with surrounding land use designation of single-family residential (RE and RL). Incremental increases of light and glare will be created by the proposed project through the installation of streetlights on the internal project streets. This is one of the last undeveloped parcels in the area, and the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding area. Standard conditions of approval for the project will ensure compliance with the City's Development Code standards for light and glare as contained in section 19.20 of the Development Code. Any impact is anticipated to be less 26 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO . ANNING AND BUILDING SERVIL_S INITIAL STUDY than significant. XIV. CULTURAL RESOURCES 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 aIb) Development of the project site will result in an incremental need for additional recreation facilities. Project development will have an incremental effect on the demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities, and it will affect existing recreational opportunities. The project proposed on the opposite side of Palm A venue is actually proposing to create a five acre park just east of the project site, and other nearby projects are also adding parks, thus the amount of park and recreation areas is increasing as projects in the area increase. The proposed project is at a small enough scale where the impacts will not be significant to 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 and access corridors. The Initial Study also identifies potential impacts to earth resources and 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 by measures included in the Initial Study. These mitigation measures will 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. 27 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO . ,ANNING AND BUILDING SERVk~S INITIAL STUDY 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. 28 ATTACHMENT F GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 02-11 & TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 16457 MITIGATION MONITORINGIREPORTING PROGRAM This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared to implement the mitigation measures outlined in the Program Environmental Impact Report for the subdivision ofland proposed at the northeast comer of Palm and Irvington Avenues. 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 shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program contains the following elements: 1. 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. MITIGATION MEASURES III.
