REQUEST AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant requests approval of General Plan Amendment No. 06-01 under the authority of
Development Code ~ 19.50 to change the land use designation of 10.23 acres from ill, Industrial
Heavy to RU, Residential Urban. Tentative Tract Map No. 17754 is proposed under the authority
of Development Code Section 19.66.070 to create a small lot subdivision with a minimum lot
size of5,000 square feet on the 10.23-acre site, and Development Pemrit 3 No. 06-05 is a
proposal to construct 47 single family homes with a minimum unit size (floor area) of 1,826
square feet, under the authority of Development Code Section 19.04.020, Table 04.01 (Q). The
project site is located on the south side of Walnut Street opposite Artesian Avenue in the ill,
Industrial Heavy, land use district (Attachments A, B-1 & B-2).
'The proposed General Plan Amendment would expand the existing RU, Residential U"rban land
use district from the north side of Walnut Street to cover the 1 0.23-acre project site, as needed to
permit the proposed development project. The RU land use district is intended to promote the
development of detached and attached units, at a maximum density of 8 units per gross acre and
a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet. The overall gross density of the proposed project is 4.6
units per gross acre, and the minimum lot size proposed by Tentative Tract Map 17754 is 5,000
square feet. Private streets are proposed on site, with access from a main entry on Walnut Street.
The project is designed to accommodate 47 detached single-family homes in a gated residential
development to be constructed in 3 phases: 15 homes are planned with Phase I, 14 homes with
Phase II and 18 homes will be complete the project as Phase III. The project would provide 15%
(1.5 acres of) open space to include the following amenities: a park with BBQ areas and a tot lot
play area. The applicant proposes to construct a 6-foot decorative block wall around the
perimeter of the site, and to provide vinyl fencing between the homes.
The proposal offers a 2-story building design ~th 3 different model plans. Each model plan
offers 4 variations of finishes that include Spanish, Cottage, French and Traditional styles for a
total of 12 variety choices.
The three model plan layouts proposed for TIM 17754 are as follows:
Plan 1: 1,826 square feet (living area) with a 2-car garage (400 square feet) - 2-story
Plan 2: 2,035 square feet (living area) with a 2-car garage (400 square feet) - 2-story
Plan 3: 2,270 square feet (living area) with a 2-car garage (400 square feet) - 2-story
Plans 1, 2, and 3 offer custom options to convert a retreat area into a bedroom, or to convert a
loft into a bedroom. The proposed homes are wood frame/stucco construction with concrete tile
roofs. The homes will include distinctive exterior features, interior detailing, kitchen features,
and master suites. Architectural treatments include variations in roof style, front entry projections
and varied garage door designs. The homes include window treatments, automatic garage doors
and fully landscaped front yards, and common open space areas. The following illustrates the
distribution of model plans on the proposed project:

Plan 3 - (4bd/2-1I2ba) - 18 homes (38%)
TOTAL - 47 homes (100%)
SETTING/SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The project site consists of four parcels designated IIi, Industrial Heavy by the General Plan. The
site is located in the western portion of the City, and is currently vacant. Surrounding properties
are designated IIi, Industrial Heavy and RU, Residential Urban (Attachment B-1). The area is
characterized by older residential neighborhoods developed in the 1940' s and 1950' s.
Surrounding the site to the north are existing residences in the RU land use district. To the east
abutting the site are vacant lots in the IIi district, and to the west are existing industrial uses in
the IIi district. Vacant parcels abutting the site to the south are designated IIi.
The project site is also located in an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone, and the San Jacinto
fault was located in the southwestern comer of the site. A geotechnical analysis and fault surface
rupture hazard study was prepared in compliance with Alquist-Priolo requirements. These
studies have been reviewed and approved by Dr. Floyd Williams, City Geologist, and the
recommended mitigation measures (Attachment F) have been incorporated in the project design.
BACKGROUND
The DevelopmentlEnvironmental Review Committee (D/ERC) first reviewed the proposal on
November 2, 2006 and moved the project to Planning Commission, pending minor map revisions
and environmental review.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
Hogle-Ireland, Inc. prepared an Initial Study on behalf of the project applicant. The
Environmental Review Committee independently reviewed, analyzed, and exercised judgement
in reviewing the Initial Study and approved its release for public review pursuant to the Public
Resources Code and CEQA guidelines. The Initial Study and Draft Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) were circulated for public review from November 9, 2006 through
November 29, 2006. No comments were received.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
1.
Is the proposed amendment internally consistent with the General Plan?
Land Use Policy 2.5.6 requires that new development be designed to complement and not
devalue the physical characteristics of the surrounding environment. The proposed
project will complement the adjacent existing residential neighborhood by developing an.
in-fill property with detached single-family units. Community Design Policy 5.6.4
requires that private and common open space amenities be provided on-site, and the
proposal is consistent with this policy, as evidenced by its compliance with the
Development Code standards for Small Lot Subdivisions.

DP3 No. 06-05
HeDring Date: 2.21.07
Page 4
2.
Is the proposed amendment detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare of the City?
The proposal would not pose any threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the
City in that the proposed residential project would be required to comply with all
applicable provisions of the Development Code, Chapter 19.04, Residential Districts. The
proposal would be developed consistent with the RU land use district for detached single-
family uses. The proposed amendment would allow development of a comprehensive
residential project, compatible with the 95-unit condominium project proposed on the
north side of Walnut Street, in the interest of the public..
3.
Does the proposed amendment maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the
City?
The property is adjacent to other residential uses in the RU land use district and is
consistent with the General Plan Policies as described in Finding No. I. The proposal
would provide additional opportunities for housing development, and would not
adversely impact the balance of land uses within the City. The site consists of only 10.23
acres, therefore it is not significant to the existing balance of land uses. The applicant
proposes to promote land use consistency by extending the existing RU district to include
the project site. The proposal will prevent potential land use conflicts that could occur
under the existing General Plan which designates the subject site Industrial Heavy, while
most adjacent projects are designated RU, Residential Urban.
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 and anticipated land use developmeni?
All agencies responsible for reviewing access, and providing water, sanitation and other
public services have had the opportunity to review the proposal, and none have indicated
an inability to serve the project for residential uses. The proposed amendment area is
bounded by existing, dedicated streets and existing infrastructure suitable for urban
development. All future residential development proposals for the site must conform to
applicable provisions of the Development Code for setbacks, lot coverage and height
requirements. There are no physical constraints on the site that would preclude
development of the site as proposed.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS - TENT A TIVE TRACT MAP
1.
Is the proposed map consistent with the General Plan?
The proposed subdivision map is consistent with the General Plan and Development
Code. The map created will meet development criteria as shown in Table "A":

2.
Is the design of the proposed subdivision consistent with the General Plan?
The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan. The Land Use Element
(Table LU-2) describes the intended uses for the Residential Urban land use district as
single or multi-family residences in a high quality urban setting. Land Use Policy 2.7.5
requires that development be contingent upon the ability of public infrastructure to
provide sufficient capacity to accommodate its demands and mitigate its impacts. Land
Use Goal 2.2 promotes development that integrates with, and minimizes impacts on,
surrounding land uses. Community Design Policy 5.5.1 requires new and in-fill
development to be of compatible scale .and massing as existing development. The
proposed development will implement these goals and policies of the General Plan.
3.
Is the site physically suitable for the type of proposed development?
The site is physically suitable for single-family dwellings within a small lot subdivision,
as evidenced by compliance with all standards noted in Table A. Each proposed lot will
provide adequate area for a detached single-family unit, and will have direct access to an
improved private street. Extensions of the existing infrastructure in the vicinity will
provide water, sewer, drainage, and utility services to each unit. There are no physical
constraints that would preclude development of the site as proposed.
4.
Is the site physically suitable for the proposed density of development?
. The project site is approximately 10.23 acres in area. The General Plan allows up to 9.0
units per gross acre in the RU district, and the proposed subdivision is for single-family
development at 4.6 units per acre. The proposal meets all applicable development
standards for setbacks, lot coverage, landscaping, access, drainage, utilities, etc. The
proposed project would be compatible with the scale and character of the surrounding
neighborhood, and would enhance existing conditions in the project area. Therefore, the .
proposed density of development is suitable.

5.
Is the design of the subdivision likely to cause substantial environmental damage. or
substantially and unavoidably injure fISh or wildlife or their habitat?
An Initial Study was prepared according to the CEQA Guidelines to determine the
presence and extent of any environmental impacts that could result from development.
The project site is surrounded by urban land uses. Mitigation measures have been
included in the Initial Study to ensure that environmental effects will not be significant.
The site has been disturbed and currently does not contain any sensitive habitat, therefore
the proposed project is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish
or wildlife or their habitat.
6. Is the design of the subdivision likely to cause serious public health problems?
There are no environmental or other conditions on the site that are likely to cause serious
public health problems. The design of the subdivision meets the requirements of the
Subdivision Map Act, the General Plan, and Development Code. This project will be
subject to the Mitigation MonitoringlReporting Plan (Attachment F) which contains
mitigation measures to ensure that no serious public health and safety problems will
occur as a result of the project. All potential impacts of the project will be adequately
mitigated by the measures incorporated as Conditions of Approval.
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?
The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements will not conflict with any
easements that cannot be maintained or relocated. All documentation relating to
easements and dedications will be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer prior to
recording the Final Map.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS - DEVELOPMENT PERMIT TYPE ill
1. Is the proposed development permitted within the subject zoning district and does it
comply with all of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. including
prescribed development/site standards and any/all applicable design guidelines?
The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code, in
that the RU, Residential Urban, land use district allows residential units at a maximum
density of 8 units per gross acre. The proposal is for development of detached single-
family homes on a small lot subdivision. All proposed homes meet the RU development
standards as shown in Table "B".

4.
Is approval of the Development Permit for the proposed development in compliance with
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and Section 19.20.030(6)
of the Development Code?
Approval of this Development Permit is in compliance with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act and Development Code Section 19.20.030 (6)
pertaining to environmental resources and constraints. Approval of the proposed project
would not result in any significant effects relating to services or infrastructure capacity.
This is because the necessary infrastructure is in place or will be installed to handle the
anticipated demand resulting from this proposed project. It is anticipated that the impacts
relating to traffic, noise, air quality, biological and cultural resources, geology & soils, _
water quality, and land use would be less than significant with implementation of the
proposed mitigation measures contained in the MitigationIMonitoring Reporting Plan
(MMRP) in Attachment F.

natural resources that could not be properly mitigated and monitored?
No significant harmful effects on the quality of the environment or on natural resources
will result from of this project. The project site has no habitat value for endangered or
threatened species. Although the site is located in a fault zone, the City Geologist has
reviewed and approved the geotechnical studies prepared for the site in accordance with
the Alquist-Priolo guidelines and requirements. The site can be adequately served by all
required utilities and public services. Therefore, no significant impact on environmental
quality is anticipated. .
6.
Is the subject site physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use being
proposed?
The site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of the project being
proposed as evidenced by project compliance with all applicable Development Code
Standards as noted in Tables "A" & "B".
7.
Are there adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities
and services to ensure that the proposed use would not be detrimental to public health
and safety?
All agencies responsible for reviewing access, and providing water, sanitation and other
public services have all had the opportunity to review the proposal, and none have
indicated an inability to serve the project. The proposal will not be detrimental to the
public health and safety in that compliance with all applicable Codes will be required in
the development of this project.

highway. The site is bordered by Walnut Street to the north and a towing yard and vacant land to the west
A large vacant parcel utilized1?Y the Colton Water District is located .to the east Vacant land and a power
transmission line easement are to the south of the subject property. As the property to the south of the site
is vacant; views o( the San Bernardino Mountains would not be impacted by the projeCt. There are no
historic buildings, rock outcroppings or scenic resources. The proposed residential development would
include landscape design that will enhance the site area. The proposed residential product will be reviewed
by the City to ensure that the aesthetics and site design conform to the City's residential design standards.
Less than significant impacts are anticipated
I.d)
The site is located within an area with surrounding land use designations for single-fami1y and light and heavy
industrial development. Incremental increases of light and glare will be created by the proposed project
through the installation of street lights and lights within and on the exterior of the homes (when constructed)
on the internal project parking areas. Each dwelling unit will have its own two car garage that may be
. eqnipped with lights for security. 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. Per the Development Code no glare incidental to any use shall be visible beyond any boundary line of
the parcel and exterior lighting shall be energy-efficient and shielded or recessed so that direct glare and
reflections are contained within the boundaries of the parcel, and shall be directed downward and away from
adjoining properties and public rights-of-way. No lighting shall blink, flash, or be of unusually high intensity
or brightness. AU lighting fixtures shall be appropriate in scale, intensity, and height to the use it is serving.
Security lighting shall be provided at all entrances/exits. Compliance with the conditions shall ensure that any

Discussion:
II a) The California Resources Agency defines prime farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance for lbe San Bernardino County as farmlands which include chyland grains of wheat, barley. oats,
and chyland pasture. The project site does not meet lbese characteristics.
The proposed project does not convert prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance as shown on lbe maps prepared pursuant to lbe Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of
lbe California Resources Agency. Therefore no impact is anticipated.
The project site is partially vacant, is not located in an agriculture preserve or located wilhin 300 feet of
agriculturally zoned property. Despite lbe suitability of lbe soils for f~ on lbe property, urbanization in
lbe community, high cost of water and pressures for additional development severely CQnstrain lbe viability of
agriculture as a dominant land use. The transition of agricultural uses to more urbanized uses is expected and
is consistent with the objectives of lbe General Plan. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated on
agricultural resources.

Discussio'n:
NOTE: Tentative Tract Map 17754 (paloma Park) is located south of walnut Street and consists of approximately 48
single-family homes. Tentative Tract Map 17239 (San Marcos) is located north of Walnut Street and consists of 95
detached single-family condominium units. Both projects are being proposed by one applicant, ANR Industries, !nc.
Because the sites are across the street from each other and development will likely occur within the same time frame,
the air quality analysis was performed by Mestre Greve Associates on February 13, 2006 based on the sum of both
tract criteria. That is, they were treated as one project for the purposes of evaluating potential air quality impacts.
III a)
Air quality at any site is dependent on the regional air quality and local pollutant sources. Regional air quality is
determined by the release of pollutants throughout the air basin. Estimates for the South Coast !Ur Basin
(SCAB) have been made for existing emissions ("2003!Ur Quality Management Plan", August 1,20(3). The
data indicate that mobile sources are the major source of regional emissions. Motor vehicles (Le., on-road

mobile sources) account for approximately 45 percent of volatile organic compounds (Voq, 63 percent of
niuogen oxide (NOx) emissions, and approximately 76 percent of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) haS divided the SCAB into 38 source receptor
areas (SRA) with a designated ambient air monitoring station representative of most of these areas. The
project is located in SCAQMD Source Receptor Area 34, San Bernardino.
The air quality monitoring station designated for this area is the San Bemardino-4'" Sueet Station. This is the
nearest air quality monitoring station to the project. The air pollutants measured here include ozone (0,),
(CO), Particulate Matter (pMIO and PM,,), and niuogen dioxide (NO,). Sulfur dioxide (SO,) was not
monitored at this station. 'Sulfates are produced by the reaction in the air of sulfur dioxide (SO,), which is a
component of acid rain. Sources of sulfur dioxide include coal burning power plant and diesel engines.
California does not have any coal burning power plants and all diesel fuels sold in the state are now lower in
sulfur, and ~ulfates are not an issue in the area. The proposed project would not contribute to additional
sulfates in the atmosphere and therefore, this is not an issue.
SO, concenuations have generally been low throughout the South Coast Air Basin for many years due to the
reduction in the amount of sulfur in diesel fuels. Projected emissions are based on assumptions for
development in the City's General Plan, which are substantially less than the assumptions in the AQMP;
consequently, the project will not contlict with or obsuuct the implementation of the AQMP.
Based on an air quality modeling analysis performed by Mesue Greve Associates, there will be no significant
short-term consuuction or long-term operational impacts due to the project based on the SCAQMD
thresholds of significance (See Table 1). Projected emissions for this relatively small project will not exceed
SCAQMD thresholds of significance for pollutants (See Tables 2 and 3) and will only be a fraction of the total
emissions throughout the basin (See Table 4).

Temporary impacts will result from project construction acQvlOes. Air pollutants will be emitted by
construction equipment and fugitive dust will be genet'llted during grading of the project site. Gnading
represents the construction activity that will result in the highest levels of air pollutant emissions associated
with construction.
Considet'llble short-term emissions of ROG will occur from the application of architectural coating (painting)
and asphalt paving. Table 5 shows the maximwn allowable activity that can take pbce in order to avoid
exceeding the ROG threshold Each maximwn per day is calculated separately and does .not consider
emissions from activities listed in Table 2. Mitigation measures will need to be implemented to remain under
the SCAQMD threshold for short-term ROG.emissions.
Mitigation measures will be implemented to ensure that asphalt paving and painting do Dot occur
concurrendy. Building materials will be chosen to minimize the need for painting and when painting is
necessary, efficient methods of application will be utilized to minimize ROG off-gassing.

The project will be devdoped in a series of phases, as deseribed in the project description. Information
regarding the specific types and &mown of construction equipment were not available at the time of the
analysis. As such, assumptions and emission factors were devdoped for a worst-case scenario to provide the
data in Table 2 Assumptions include the use of four pieces of heavy equipment, a water truck and 30
construction worker vehicles (40 miles round trip per vehicle) per day. Since a worst-case scenario was used,
specific phasing information such as maximum area to be graded per day and specific pieces of equipment
will not affect the Mestre Greve analysis.
Mitigation Measures
In evaluating the proposed project using the URllEMIS2002 model, assumptions adhering to SCAQMD
Rules 402 and 403 are required; therefore, the conclusion of less than significane is based on mitigation
measures enumerated herein. In order to mitigate these potential impacts, the City requires the preparation
and approval of PM" management plans, which must be reviewed and approved by the Public Works
Division. In addition, the project proponent must incorporate the following Air Quality (AQ) mitigation
measures into the project and implement them in order to reduce potential impacts to a levd of less than
significant.
AQ-l The project shall comply with the requirements of the SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403 for
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
. 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
activiry on the site. Portions of the site that are actively being graded shall be watered
regularly to ensure that a crust is fonned on the ground surface, and shall be watered at
the end of each workday.
. The project proponent shall ensure that all disturbed areas are treated to prevent erosion
until the site is fully constructed.
. The project proponent shall ensure that landscaped areas are installed as soon all
possible to reduce the potential for wind erosion.
. The project proponent shall ensure that SCAQMD Rule 403 is adhered to, ensuting the
clean up of construction-related dirt on approach routes to the site.
. The project proponent shall ensure that all grading activities are suspended during lint
and second'stage ozone episodes or when winds ex,ceed 2S miles per hour.

All buildings on the project site shall conform to energy use guidelines in Title 24 of the
Califomia Administrative Code. .
AQ-3 To reduce emissions all equipment used in grading and construction must be tuned and
maintained to the manufacturer's specification to maximize boming of vehicle fuel.
AQ-4 The residences shall be constructed to UBC standatds 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.
AQ-6 Construction scheduling shall be as such that asphalt paving operations and the application
of architectural coating (painting) do not occur concurrently.
AQ-7 To the greatest extent feasible, use of pre-coated, pre-colored and naturally colored building
materials will be used to minimize the amount of paint used for architectural coating.
AQ-8 To the greatest extent possible, high transfer efficiency painting methods such as HVLP
(High Volume Low Pressure) sprayers and brushes/rollers will be used for the application of
architectural coating.
As per the discussion in III b above, the project is in the South Coast Air Basin, a non-attainment baain for
nitrogen dioxide, sulfates, particulate matter, and ozone. The proposed project could add incrementally to
pollutants in the basin, however because the project is small and witli the above mitigation measures to be.
implemented, short-term and long-term impacts are less than significant (for NO" PM,. and ozone) and the
contribution to regional air quality impacts would be de minimus.
In 1998 and 1999, the SCAQMD conducted a study of air toxics in the Basin, Multiple Air Toxics Exposure
Study II (MAlES-II). The MATES-II study estimated that the average basin wide potential cancer risk from
all Toxic Air Contaminants (TAq was about 1,400 excess cancers per mil1ion. Meaning that, statistically,
1,400 people in one mil1ion contract cancer due to their lifetime exposure to TAC in the basin. The study
determined that approximately 71 percent of the risk was from Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM). It should be
noted that this estimated risk is based on a 70-year exposure to TAC concenirations measured and modeled
during the MATES-II study period and do not take into account any future reductions in TAC
concentrations.
In 1998 the California Air Resources Board (ARB) identified particulate matter from diesel-fueled engines
(Diesel Particulate Matter or DPM) as a TAC. As a part of the identification process, the ARB's Office of
Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) evaluated the potential for DPM to affect human
health. The OEHHA found that exposures to DPM resulted in an increased risk of cancer and an increase in
chronic noncancer health effects including a greater incidence of cough, labored breathing, chest tighmess,
wheezing, and bronchitis.
. On April 28, 2005, ARB adopted an "Air Quality and Land Use Handbook" which provides advisory
guidelines for siting sensitive uses near facilities that generate toxic air contaminants. The handbook is
intended to serve as a general reference guide for evolnohng and reducing air pollution impacts associated
with new projects that go through the land use decision-making process. The handbook recommends

minimum distances &om significant sources ofTAC. Two sources cited in the handbook are nil yards and
distribution centers. The following summarizes these statements:
lUil Yards
1. Avoid placement of sensitive land uses within 1,000 feet of a major service and
maintenance nil yard.
ii. Consider siting limitations and mitigation approaches within a mile of a nil yard
Distribution Centers
1. Avoid siting new se2nsitive land uses within 1,000 ft of a distribution center that
accommodates over 100 trucks per day, more than 40 trucks with operating lftnsport
refrigeration units (IRUs) per day, or where TRU unit operations exceed 300 hours per
week..
11. Take into account the configuration of existing distribution centers and avoid locating
residences near entry and exit points.
However, the project site is located in proximity to the BNSF rail yards. The homes proposed in the project
are located more than 1,000 feet from the rail facilities to the north and to the southwest (See Exhibit 2).
It has been determined that the best way to determine significance is by comparing the risk at the proposed
project site to the typical risk experienced South Coast Air Basin. The risk in the vicinity of the project site
does not exceed 500 in a million. This is much less than the -1,400 in a million average risk in the SCAB.
Therefore, the project is not significandy impacted by T AC.
During development of the proposed project, primary regional emission sources will be generated by motor
vehicles. Other emissions will originate &om natural gas combustion associated with water/space heating and
the generation of electricity; as well as from the use of consumer products. These emissions should Dot
generate objectionable odors for the surrounding residents. .

Discussion:
IV. a)
Natural Resources Assessment, Inc., (NRA, Inc.), conducted a general Biological Resources Assessment for
Tentative Tract Map No. 17754 on January 20, 2006. The purpose of the assessment was to deteanine the
potential presence of sensitive biological resources on site and impacts to those resources. A data search was
conducted to provide information on plant and wildlife species known occurrences within the vicinity. A
walking fidd survey taken from the site boundaries using binoculars was conducted by Ms. Karen Kirtland on
January 11, 2006. Reviewing aerial photographs the project was evaluated as to known habitats in the

surrounding Olea. The field survey focused on sensitive biological resources, and included observations of
potential habitat for sensitive species.
BurrowiQf Owl
The burrowing owl which lives in burrows in grassy or spuse shrubby habitat forages over the ground
surface for insect prey and seldom flies in the air. As a result of coastal development the burrowing owl is
declining and the CDFG has designated the burrowing owl as California Species of Special Concern, (CSC).
These species Ole so designated because of declining population levels limited nnges and/or continuing
threats making them vulnerable to extinction. While habitat exists on the project site for the bw:rowing owl;
as a result of the disking of the site for weed control, colonization is not expected while the current land
management practices are in place.
BR-l Bu~wing owls are not expected to take up residence on the sire as long as the current land
management practices remain in force. However, if the sire remains fallow, burrowing owls
could colonize the property. In that event, it is recommended that a focused survey for that
species be conducted. Nesting season occurs between February 1 and August 31, with the
peak nesting period between April 15 and July 15. Surveying should be conducred 30 days
ahead of grading. The survey shaD be conducted according to the recommended guidelines
of the Burrowing Owl Consortium (1993). A report of findings shaD be submitted to the
Development Service Department prior to issuance of grading permits.
San Bernudino Kangaroo Rat
The San Bernudino kangaroo rat (SBKR) is. described as being confined to primary and secondary aUuvial
fan scrub habitats, with sandy soils deposited by fluvial (water) rather than aeolian (wind) processes; burrows
Ole dug in loose soil usuaUy near or beneath shrubs. In recent years they have been found in highly disturbed
habitats adjacent to otherwise suitable habitat. However this species is pulicuIu to scrub communities along
natural river beds, streams and drainage. The drainage along the eastern portion of the site has been
channelized for SO years and therefore altered due to flood control efforts. No suitable habitat exists on the
site for the SBKR on the property.
Raptors and Migpto()7 birds Habitat
Most of the raptor species (eagles, hawks, falcons and owls) Ole experiencing population declines IS a result of
habitat loss. Some, such as the peregrine falcon, have also experienced population losses IS a result of
environmental toxins affecting reproductive success, animals destroyed as pests or colleted for falconry and
other direct impacts on individuals. Only a few species such as the red- tailed hawk and the bam owl have
expanded their range in spite of or as a result of human modifications to the environment. As a group raptors
Ole of concern to staie and federal agencies. Raptors and migratory birds whether listed or not also received
protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty act (META) of 1918. The META prohibits individuals to kill, take
posses or sell any migratory bird, bird puts, (including nests and eggs) except in accordance with regu1ations
prescribed by the Secretary ofInterior Department (16 V.S Code 703) State protection is extended to aU birds
of prey by the CDFG Code Section 2503.5.
Limited and disturbed raptor and migratory bird foraging habitat exists on site. The loss of this habitat to
development is not considered to be significant due to the project locanon in an urban area and the disturbed
nature of the site. The eucalyptus and other orn.mental trees adjacent to the site provide suitable nesling
habitat for the raptors and migratory birds. (See aerial photograph in Fig.2). NRA, Ine. has determined that
there is no potential for any other sensitive species on site due to past uses of the sire and the condition of.
quality of the habitat on site.

Wildlife movement and the fragmentation of wildlife habitat are recognized as important wildlife issues that
must be considered in assessing impacts to wildlife. In summary, habitat fragmentation is the division or
breaking up of larger habitat areas into smaller areas that mayor may not be capable of independently
sustaining wildlife and plant populations. Wildlife movement, (more properly recognized as species
movement), is the temporal movement of species along various types of corridors. Wildlife corridors are
especially important for connecting fragmented wildlife habitat.
The project site is located in an urban area of the City of San Bernardino which is not is not within an
adopted Habitat Conservation Plan area.

removal depths during grading.
According to the FfJlilt Stnfa<t RxpItITr Hazard SfNifj. Wain'" Stml &sid4ntial Prof.a. San Bernardino. Califorttia.
prepared by Southern California Soil and Testing Inc. in July 2005 the project area is located in the City of
San Bernardino in the northwest portion of the San Bernardino vaDey. The vaDey is located within a
depressed structural block bounded by the San Andreas fault to the northeast and the San Jacinto fault to the
southwest. The valley is underlain by approximately 800 feet of sediments overlying crystaUine bedrock.
Sediments are primarily alluvial fan, stream and flood deposits derived &om the San Bernardino and San
Gabriel mountains. The San Jacinto fault zone extends &om the Cajon Pass area southwest to the Imperi2l
Valley.
Locally the San Jacinto fault zone traverses the project site and the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Zone
associated with the fault encompasses the site (Exhibit 5). The Alquist-Priolo Fault Zoning Act is intended to
reduce the hazard of ground rupture to structures for human occupancy. A fault is given this designation if it
is considered to be "sufficiently active and well-defined" such that it poses a risk of surface rupture. An
active fault is defined as one that has experienced movement during Holocene time (corresponding to the last
11,000 years). The San Jacinto fault is a major active component of the San Andreas fault system.
Southern California Soil & Testing, Inc., analyzed.the site geology, faulting. seismic analysis, groundwater and
liquefaction, flooding and erosion, and slope stability. What appears to be the main strand of the San Jacinto
fault traverses the southwestern portion of the site.
This fault is considered active based upon clear cut offset of Holocene sediments. Based upon current
understanding of the activity level of the San Jacinto fault zone, there is a significant risk of result movement
with ground surface rupture at the subject site within the life span of the proposed residential development
In general, however, no geotechnical conditions were encountered which would preclude the development of
the site as presently proposed, provided the recommendations presented herein are followed.
GS-3 Site development, including construction of foundations, shan be conducted in accordance
with the recommendations contained in the Repon of Geotechnical InvestigatiOD, Walnut
Street South ResideDtial Project, San Bunardino, Califomia (August 2005) and the Fault
Surface Rupture Hazard Study, Walnut Sueet Residential Project, San Bernardino, Califomia

VI c) The main geotechnical conditions associated with the fault that will affect the development of the site, as
presently planned, are the presence of potentially compressible sediments underlying the site and the active
San Jacinto fault traversing the southwestern portion of the site. Recommendations contained in the Fault
Surface Rupture Study and Report of Geotechnical Investigation shall be incorporated into the development
of the project. Mitigation measures GS-l and GS-2 outlined above, will ensure that impacts are less than
significant.
VI d) The project site is curren tly vacant except for less than a half dozen houses that would be dernolished. The
majority of the site is covered with common weedy vegetation such that topsoil is held in place. During
grading and construction, erosion or the loss of topsoil could occur, however, with implementation of
mitigation measures identified in Section III Air Quality for the control of fugitive dust, and Section VlIl
Hydrology and Water Quality for the control of stormwater and sediments on-site, the incidence of erosion
would not occur. Because the site is relatively flat, gently sloping in a southeasterly direction, the site will be
graded to accommodate drainage but will not be developed with slopes or other changes in topography that
would be susceptible to erosion or loss of top soil
.
VIe)
The project site is relatively flat with a change in elevation of approximately 10 feet across the site and is
located in an area where there are no physical features that would be subject to landsliding or mudsliding.
Subsidence associated with groundwater extraction is not a common occurrence in the City of San
Bernardino even though the water supply is wholly from groundwater. This is because the Water
Department has a long histoty of water extraction and replenishment such that subsidence does not occur.
VI f) Lquefaction is caused by build-up of excess hydrostatic pressure in saturated cohesionless soils due to cyclic
stress generated by ground shaking dunng an earthquake. The significant factors on which soil liquefaction
potential depends are the soil type and density, intensity and duration of earthquake and depth of
groundwater. With the presence of underlying alluvial material, along with the absence of groundwater less
that 50 feet below grade, potential susceptibility to soil liquefaction is considered to be less than significant
for most of the site. However, there is one area of the site that was identified in the Fault Surface Rupture
Hazard Study that is susceptible to liquefaction. This area is located on the west side of the site in the No-
structure Zone delineated on the site plan (Exhibit 3). No habitable structures are proposed for
development in that area.
VI g) The unique physical feature located on the project site is the San Jacinto fault described above. The proposed
project does not include development of habitable structures or other development. The area in the vicinity
of the fault has been designated a Non-structure Zone and will remain open space.
VI h)
During construction, grading and excavation could resulr in soil erosion, generate dusr or create unstable soil
conditions. For erosion associated with storm events the project contractor will be required to adhere to the
requirements of the City of San Bernardino and to the National Pollutant Discharge EliII1ination System
(NPDES) through implementation of a storm water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The following
mitigation measures will ensure that the projecr will have a less than significant impact on erosion, dust and
unstable soils during construction (note: also see Section III Air Quality and Section VIII Hydrology and

HAZ-I Materials suspected of containing asbestos are anticipated to exist in the Property
buildings which are proposed for demolition. When demolition has the potential to
disturb the above materials, a licensed California Certified Asbestos Consultant must
survey the materials for asbestos. If asbestos is found, an asbestos abatement contractor
must fint remove these items prior the renovation or demolition.
HAZ-2 Given the age of the residences on-site, lead based painr may have been used in these
residences. If any renovation on the property involves the sanding, chipping, stripping or
welding of painted surfaces or if demolition will occur, a licensed Califomia Certified
Lead based Paint inspector and Risk Assessor must survey the materials for lead content.
This survey will determine the necessary precautions and disposal requirements needed
to perform the work safely.
HAZ-3 Fill material dumped on the property was visually identified to contain asphalt and may
be contaminated with low levels of petroleum products. Testing of this aoil may be
required for off-site disposal It is recommended that the landfill scheduled to receive
this soil be contacted and sampling requirements be obtained and followed prior to Us
removal off-site.
HAZ-4 There is a small discolored patch of soil, approximately two-feet by four-feet, along the
north Property border where it appears oil has been dumped. This spill appears to be
minimal and is not anticipated to substantially contaminate the groundwater on the
Property. It is recommended that this soil be excavated and disposed of as petroleum
contaminated.
A visual survey of the site was conducted on September 13, 2004. No drums, containers, fluids or other
evidence of stored hazardous materials were noted, and no impacts related to hazardous materials are
anticipated.
The project site is not located within the San Bernardino International Airport Land Use Plan. The San
Bernardino Airport is located approximately 8 miles to the southeast of the project site. The nearest airport
is the Rialto Municipal Airport located approximately 6 miles away. No negative impacts are anticipated to
result from this type of development.
The proposed project will not impair implementation or interfere with an emergency response or
evacuation. The project plan includes adequate access to emergency vehicles and will be subject to its own
emergency preparedness plan. This would consist of a map showing points of ingress and egress, where
on-sueet parking is not allowed, and how circulation for emergency vehicles would be provided The plan
is subject to review and approval by the City Fire MarshaI1. No significant impacts are anticipated.
As indicated in the General Plan the proposed project is not located within a Fire Hazard Area. The City

The City implements National PollutantDischargc E1imination System (NPDES) requirements for surface
water discharge for all qualifying projects, including the project site. The development of the propcrry will
result in the improvement of the site, including habitable struCturc5, sttccts and other impervious surfaces.
The developer will be required to retain tOO-year storm flows on site. The City Engineer requires the
preparation of hydrology analysis to assure that on-site retention or detention is sufficient to accomplish this
requirement. The proposed project is not expected to violate any water quality standards or waste Water
discharge requirements. Project build out will increase wastewater flows. However, anticipated flows will be
accommodated through sewer mains and the wastewater treatment plant owned and operated by the City of
San Bernardino without significantly impacting wastewater treatment facilities. Storm water and project
generated urban runoff will be retained on site within adequate retention basins occurring on the subject
propcrry. This and related improvements will enable the project to comply with NPDES requirements. lbe
project will be served by the City of San Bernardino for domestic water, which conforms to the accepted
water quality standards.

The collection of BMPs to be implemented on the project are designed to minimize the impacts of pollutants
of concern on receiving waters. Through the implementation and monitoring of the WQMP, the project will
be incompliance with the provisions of the City's NPDES MS4 PermiL Impacts on water quality will be
reduced to a level less than significant through the following mitigation measure.
HWQ-t Prior to issuance of grading permits, the project shsll be designed to establish a storm
system that would intercept run-off and treat pollutants of concern. The applicant shsll
prepare a Water Quality Management Plan (wQMP) for the project that includes a
description of the proposed drainage system and the various components (including Side
Design, Source Control and Treatment Control BMPs) that wiD prevent significant
discharges of pollutants of concern into receiving waten.
VIII b) The proposed project is the development of an in-fill residential project consisting 48 single-family detached
homes on "smilllots" of 5,000 square feet on approximately 10.23 acres. The proposed project requests a
. Change of Zone from Industrial Heavy (lH) to Residential Urban (RU-l).
The SBMWD recently completed the Urban Water Management Plan (U\VMP) update (December 2005) that
documents water supply reliability and outlines water use efficiency measures adopted to ensure adequate
water supply in the service area. Included in the UWMP is an estimate of future needs based on population
growth in the City. Since the City is largely built out except for the Verdemont area of the City, projects suCh
as the Walnut Street Tract No. 17754 "small lot" subdivision will likely make up the future growth in the City.
The UWMP identifies an additional 1,055 residential customers between 2005 and 2010, based on the amount
of vacant residential land remaining in the City, and an additional 1,270 residential customers in 2020. The 48
proposed single-family dwellings in this project would be included in this calculation.
SBMWD produces its water supply from 57 groundwater wells located throughout its service ares. Water
wens exist in the vicinity of the site southeast of the Walnut Street and Artesian Avenue intersection.
According to the Department of Water Resources, the depth to groundwater is approximately 188 feet below
grade (phase I Site Assessment, October 2003). Recharge of the aquifer is generally through local
precipitation and by stream flow from rain and snowmelt from the San Bernardino Mounrains watershed.
There are two groundwater wells on the project property but are proposed to be filled Therefore, the project
would not contribute to the depletion of groundwater supplies or interfere with groundwater recharge as
proposed by development of the project. Therefore, no significant impact to groundwater resources is
anticipated
VIII c)
Development of the project site includes the construction of 48 detached single-family dwellings plus,
internal streets, curb and gutter, driveways and landscaped areas. During construction, storm events may
occur that could cause erosion of on-site soils. The developer will be required to comply with NPDES
permit requirements for construction projects. Grading activities associated with the construction period
could result in a temporary increase in the amount of suspended solids in surface flows during a concurrent
storm event, thus resulting in surface water quality impacts. The project site is larger than one acre and,
therefore, is required to comply with the NPDES General Construction Permit to minimize water pollution.
Development in the City of San Bernardino is subject to the State of California's General Construction
Permit under the federal NPDES. The Permit requires that any development proposal that would disturb
more than one acre is required to file a Notice of Intent (NO!) and prepare and implement a Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPp) prior to implementation of grading or other soil disturbing activities.
The State of California is authorized to adtninister various aspects of the NPDES permiL Construction

recipients to reduce or eliminate non-storm water dischotges into storm water syStems, and to develop and
implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPp).
The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Santa Ana Region has issued an area-wide NPDES
Storm Water Permit for the County of San Bernardino, the San Bernardino County Rood Control District,
and the incorporated cities of San Bemardino County within the Santa Ana Region. The City of San
Bernardino then requires implementation of measures for a project to comply with the area-wide permit
requirements. The SWPPP must include Best Management PIlIctices (BMPs) to prevent the project from
polluting surface watets. This is a standard condition of approvolapplicable to most urban projects.
In addition, the applicant must also prepare and implement a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) that
would remain in place during the life of the project. A WQMP has been prepared for the project. The
following measures must be implemented ensure impacts &om water runoff and erosioa are less than
significant.
HWQ-2
Prior to issuance of grading permits, the developer shall file a Notice of Intent (NOI)
with the State Water Quality Control Board for construction disturbing one acre or
more of land. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall suhmit a
copy of the NOI and accompanying SWPPP that specifically identifies the BMP's
that would be used on-site to control stormwater on-site during construction.
Development of the project site includes the construction of 48 detached single-family dwellingS,. plus
internal streets, curb and gutter, driveways and landscaped areas. As a result, stonnwater runoff will occur
from the project site due to the creation of impervious surfaces. Design of the project includes an
internal stonnwater control system consisting of curbs and gutters, dIlIins, and an on-sire retention basin.
In addition, new urban uses would create urban pollutants that must be controlled. The following
mitigation measures are recommended to minimize potential impacts &om properties north of the sire.
HWQ-3 Prior to the issuance of grading permits, a site-sPecific drainage study, which meets
the standards of the City of San Bemardino Puhlic Works Division shall be prepared
by a Civil Engineer who is registered in the State of Califomia. All recommendations
&om this analysis, including facilities necessary to mitigate drainage impacts,
maximize percolation and groundwater recharge to the extent feasible shall be

The nearest water structure to the site is the Lytle Creek channel, a concrete lined channel that runs in a
northwest-southeast direction approximately 2,500 feet northeast of the project site. The channel
contains water intermittendy and does not pose a risk to the project site.
Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow would not occur because the nearest water feature in the area
is the Lytle Creek channel which carries water intermittendy and is located approximately 2,500 feet away.
The project site is not located near the coast so would not be subject to a tsunami. Finally, the project
site is relatively flat and is not located in on area of steep slopes that would be the source of a mudflow.

RU Residential Urban, Mobil Home Park and Industrial Light (IL), north of the Lytle
Creek Channel are residential neighborhoods
Vacant land in an Industrial Heavy (IH) Zone.
Vacant land and an Auto-Wrecking yard in an Industrial Heavy (IH) Zone
Vacant land in an Industrial Heavy (IH) Zone, east of this area are existing residential
neighborhoods.
The area is a mix of industrial uses and residential neighborhoods with some vacant land The greatest
impacts to the proposed residential subdivision from surrounding industrial uses are associated with air
quality, noise and traffic. Air Quality impacts are evaluated in Section III; Noise impacts associated with
proximity to the BNSF rail yard are addressed in Section XI. Currently traffic along Walnut Stteet and
MUSCOll Street is light and the streets are not designed to handle large trucks or other vehicles typically
associated with industrial uses. In addition, the major industrial use in the area, BNSF, does not appear to use
either of these streets to access its site. In the event that adjacent vacant land is developed with industrial
uses and tIaffic is routed along Walnut Street or Muscott Street, a conflict between residential uses and
industrial uses could occur. However, it would be speculative to try and determine what the needs of that use
would be in terms of access, road width, etc.
Therefore, as currently proposed including the General Plan amendment and Zone Change to allow
residential use, and with existing conditions in the vicinity taken into consideration, the project would not
conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project
e
IX c)
The project is not located within a wildlife conservation plan or natural community conservation plan so it
will not conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. The
project is located within the San Bernardino Urban Conservation and Enhancement Area, which is not
intended to undergo a fundamental change in the land use pattern. The focus of the Area is to maintain
stability and quality assurance and strategies are aimed at enhancing and improving the existing uses. The
polices and implementation measures in the General Plan and Neighborhood Improvement program guide
the enhancement of this strategic area. The project site is located in a fairly urbanized region of the city and
no appropriate wililIife habitat exists adjacent to the site, therefore there are no impacts to habitat
conservation plans or natural communities as a result of the development of this project.
IX d) The project site is flat and not located within or adjacent to the Hillside Management Overlay District,
therefore there are no impacts to slopes associated with the development of this project.
IX e) The project site is not being developed within Foothill Fire Zones A, B, or C as identified in the City's
General Plan Safety Element, therefore there are no impacts to fire hazards on-site.

According to the San Bernardino General Plan Environmental Resources Element, the project site is within
the MRZ-2 Mineral Zone. This zone is one where the available geological information indicates that there are
significant mineral deposits or that there is likelihood of significant mineral deposits. The Lytle Creek Wash
area has aggregate extraction operations occurring in various locations along the length of the wash, but Dot
in the immediate vicinity of the project site. Due to the site's location within a relatively urban area, recovery
of aggregate resources form the site is not considered to be viable, but the proposed project does not
preclude aggregate material from being extracted in other locations in the wash. Therefore, no significant
impacts to mineral resources are anticipated.

NOTE: Tentative Tract 17239 (San Marcos) consists of 95 detached single-family condominium units, and
Tentative Tract 17754 (paloma Park) consists of approximately 48 single-family homes. Because of the
proximity of the north and south tracts of this project and their concurrent development, a noise analysis was
performed by Mestre Greve Associates on February 13, 2006 based on the sum of both tract criteria.
The proposed project will consist of single-family residential units; the noise associated with the proposed use
is expected to be well within the standards established in the General Plan. However, short-term
construction noise may affect adjacent residences during on-site construction from equipment and vibration
from excavation and grading.
The only source of noise impacting the project site is from activity at the rail yard located just southwest of
the project. The noise measurements presented in Section 1.5 showed that the Ldn (Day-Nigh Average
Level) at the measurement site was 61.7 dBA. Ldn represents the average A-Weighted sound level during a
24-hour period, obtained after the addition of 10 decibels to sound levels in the night from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00
a.m. The measurement site was selected to represent the worst-case receptor within the project. Therefore,
noise levels in all other areas of the project will be less than the measured noise level. Thetefore, outdoor
noise levels within the project will not exceed the City's 65 Ldn outdoor noise standard
IS 34..

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
INITIAL STUDY
Typical construction (complying with Tide 24 energy efficiency requirements) provides 12 dB of outdoor-to-
indoor noise reduction with open windows and .t least 20 dB of reduction with closed windows. Therefore,
indoor noise levels are projected to be 50 Ldn with open windows and 42 Ldn with closed windows. With
open windows the indoor noise levels will exceed the interior standard but the standard will not be exceeded
if windows can remain closed. Therefore, the project will be significandy imp.cted by noise if windows of
the homes cannot remain closed. Mitigation is .s follows:
N-1 Buyer Notification Program-All potential buyers of homes in the project shall be notified to
the existence of the rail yards in the vicinity of the project and the fact that most of the
activities at these rail yards occur during the nighttime hours, that noise levels in the area are
typicaDy higher during the nighttime hours than during the daytime hours, and that
windows will need to be c:losed to reduce the noise levels generated by the rail yard to below
the City's standards, although the residents are not required to keep the windows closed.
N-2 Mechanical Ventilation-Homes within the project win need to be ahle to keep their
windows c:losed to meet the City's 4S Ldn standard. Therefore, mechanical ventilation
confirming to the requirements of the Uniform Building Code will need to be provided to
aDow occupants to keep their windows c:losed. Note that windows do not need to be sealed
shut, but be able to remain c:losed at the occupants' discretion. Mechanical ventilation
anows this. The means to satisfy this condition han be included in the architectural
drawings for the project prior to issuance of building permits.
N-3 Sound Rated Windows-To ensure that homes adjacent to the rail yard are not significantly
impacted by single event noise from rail yard activities or train pass bys on the rail line east
of the project site aD windows in the homes on Lots 24-29 of Tract 17239, and Lots 1-3, 11-23,
36-40, and 46-48 of Tract 17754 shown in Exhibit 7 shaD be sound rated with a minimum
STC raring of 34. Window specifications shaD be inc:luded in the architectural drawings for
the project prior to issuance of building permits.
XI b) As discussed in item ..... .bove the project itself should not h.ve .ny imp.cts on the levels of noise (Including
ground bome vibrations) due to its residential n.ture, however there may be some excessive vibrations or
noise levels during construction. With the proper mitigation as indic.ted for item ..... the impact from
ground bome vibrations should be less than significant. The project site is nOt exposed to considerable noise
levels &om any arterial ro.dways.
XI c) The project is residential in n.ture. There will be .n increase in noise levels during the day &om children
playing .nd vehicle ingress and egress &om the project ares, but this increase is not considered to be a
substantial permanent increase in ambient noise. The project area is a residential land use district; the noise
generated by residential uses is expected within the are.. No impact is .nticipated.
XI d) Noise levels generated by construction of the project will exceed the California Model Noise Ordinance
Limits .t the homes adj.cent to the project. However, the Model Noise Ordinance exempts construction
noise th.t occurs during weekday daytime hours and noise generated by typical construction equipment
. during these hours is typically not considered to result in . significant noise imp.ct. Construction is not
proposed to occur outside the hours of 7:00 ..rn. and 7:00 p.rn. Monday through Saturday, nor on national
holidays. With this condition construction of the project will not result in . significant short-term noise
impact.

XII a) The proposed project would add 48 new single-family units to the area with an overall density of 4.7 dwelling
units per acre. The project will require a General Plan Amendment and Zoning Ordinance to allow the
development of single-family homes on a small lot subdivision in the Industrial Heavy zone where it is
proposed. The project site is already served by roads and other infraauucrure to which the proposed project
will connect. In a city that is over 50 square miles and has a population of approximately 190,000, the
subdivision of 10.26 acres and the addition of 48 single-family residences is a relatively small project. The
project is anticipated to have a less than significant impact on inducing growth.
XII b) Five single-family residences, detached garages, a barn, stored materials and a vacant unused lot currently
occupy the project site and would be demolished The applicant is also the current landlord of these dwellings
and collects rent from the tenants residing in the five homes. There is no plan to assist in relocating the
tenants.
XII c) The proposed project is located in the Mt. Vernon Corridor Redevelopment Area as defined in the City of
San Bernardino General Plan. In accordance with the provisions of the Replacement and Inclusionary
Housing Plan - Year 2001, the project is required to make 15% ofits units available at a cost affordable by
low or moderate-income households. This would equate to 7 units of affordable housing. The project
proponent will be required to enter a covenant with the City to keep the specified units available at affordable
rates for a set amount of time. The City currendy has a surplus of affordable housing according to the City of
San Bernardino Replacement and Indusionary Housing Plan - Year 2001 (Resolution No. CDC/2001-17).
Through fiscal year 2011-2012, the Mt. Vemon Corridor Redevelopment Area is required to provide 38 units,
15 available for very-low income households and 23 available for low to moderate income households.
Currendy, this Redevelopment Area has 97 exiting units available to these income levels which consists 59
surplus units (97 - 38 = 59). Table 6 illustrates this information. Impacts are anticipated to be less than
significant.

XIII a) Fire Protection: The City of San Bernardino Fire Department provides fire protection and emergency
medical services in the City. The Fire Department provides emergency medical care (with emergency
medical team personnd and panmedics), "HozMat" (hazardous materials) teams and resources, and aitaaft
rescue and fire fighting services. The Fire Department also conducts fire safety inspections of businesses,
and educates the public about safety measures through school and disaster preparedness programs.
The City of San Bernardino Fire Department has 12 fire stations. The nearest fire station to the project site
is Fire Station No.9 located at 202 North Meridian Avenue, approximatdy 1.5 miles northwest of the
project site. The proposed project is a residential in-fill project of 48 detached single-fami1y dwellings that
would not require additional Fire Department services beyond what can be provided. Devdoper Impact
fees are collected at the time of building permit issuance. Therefore, impacts to fire protection are
anticipated to be less than significant.
tit
Police Protection: The City of San Bernardino operates its own Police Department that divides the City
into five districts or areas. The project site is located in Area A with two Police stations serving the area;
one at 1574 West Baseline Street and a second at 1332 West Fifth Street. The Fifth Street Station is
approximatdy two miles northeast of the project site. All emergency calls and requests for service from the
project site will be dispatched from the main police station at 710 North D Street. Response times of police
patrol units average 4.5 minutes for 911 Emergency calls; 7.9 minutes for 911 Priority One (Urgent) calls;
and 19.2 minutes for Priority Two (As Soon as Possible) calls.
Devdopment of the project site will generate an inaemental increase in the need for police protection in
the project area. The Police Department reviews its needs on a yearly basis and adjusts service levels as

needed to maint2in an adequate level of public protection. Developer Impact fees are collected at the time
of building permit issuance for approved projects. Therefore, with thc payment of these fees, impacts to
law enforcement are anticipated to be less than significant.
Schools: The project site is located within the boundary of the San Bernardino City Unified School District.
The proposed 48 detached single-family dwellings could generate a population of 125 persons based on a
household size of 2.6 persons (from the IS prepared by LiIbum) per household and future students would
be expected to attend the local schools. The School District required development impact fees to be paid
on the basis of square footage per unit. These fees are currendy collected at the time of building permit
issuance. Therefore, impacts to schools are anticipated to be less than significant.
~ The proposed project is anticipated to generate approximately 125 people based on a household size
of 2.6 persons per household. The applicant is proposing on-site recreation amenities but this does not
preclude residents from uti1izing the public parks. The City's Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Department operates the City's parks and recreation programs. Residential projects are required to pay
developer impact fees for Parks and Recreation which will be collected at the time of building permit
issuance. Therefore, impacts to parks are anticipated to be less than significant.
Government Services: The proposed development would not require the use of additional governmental
services beyond what has been identified above. Therefore, no impact is anticipated.
Maintenance of Fublic Facilities: The additional amount of traffic generated by the proposed project would
be approximately 900 daily trips. The project applicant would be required to pay fees established by the
Public Works division to minimize impacts to public roads, refer to Traffic and Circulation section (Section
XV). Therefore, potential impacts to maintenance of local roads are anticipated to be less than significant.

subdivision of 48 single-family lots on approximately 10.23 acres. The proposed project would increase the
use of existing neighborhood parks such as Lytle Creek Park, Nunez Park, and Nicholson Park.
Development of the proposed project will create an incremental increase in the demand for governmental
and public services, which are anticipated by build out of the General Plan and mitigated by the payment of
development impact fees. Therefore substantial physical deterioration of these facilities would be mitigated

The proposed project consists of 48 new detached single-family residences on a "small lot" subdivision,
which will incrementally impact the area street system. Direct access to the development is planned via
internal roadways that open onto Walnut Street. Walnut Street intersects with a major roadway, Mount
Vernon. Walnut Street at its intersection with Mr. Vemon is signalized. Internal roads will provide one (1)
lane in each direction and will be approximately 37 feet wide. Since the project includes less than 50
dwelling units, a traffic impact study was not Wllmlnted per the project proponent's consultation with LSA
Associates, Inc.
As proposed the project will not cause a significant change in the level of service at any of the aclja~t
intersections, less than significant impacts are anticipated

XVI c)
The proposed project includes construction of on-site storm water facilities including retention basins to
prevent on-site and off-site flooding. All construction of the proposed storm water facilities must occur
during construction of the project. Therefore, no impacts to the City's storm water ficilities would occur.
XVI d)
The proposed project is the development of an in-fill "Planned Residential Development" (PRO) project; a
48-unit detached single-family dwel1ings on a "small lot" subdivision on approximately 10.23 acres. The
project is served by the SBMWD water system. There is currently a sufficient water supply available from
the City of San Bernardino to serve this project. No impact is anticipated.
The SBMWD recently completed the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) update (December 2005)
that documents water supply reliability and outlines water use efficiency measures adopted to ensure
adequate water supply in the service area. Included in the U'IX'MP is an estimate of future needs based on
population growth in the City. Since the City is largely built out except for the Verdemont area of the City,
projects such as the Walnut Street Tract 17754 "small lot" subdivision will likely make up the future growth
in the City. The UWMP identifies an additional 1,055 residential customers between 2005 and 2010, based
on the amount of vacant residential land remaining in the City, and an additional 1,270 residential
customers in 2020. The 98 condominiums proposed in this project would be included in this calculation.
XVI e)
The site is within the City of San Bernardino sewage service area, which has adequate capacity to serve 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.
XVI f) The proposed project will be served by the City of San Bernardino Refuse & Recycling Division, which
provides collection service. to residential and commercial customers for refuse, recyclables, and green
waste. The City uses one of three different County landfills in the region for solid waste disposal. Materials
that are not recycled in compliance with California Integrated Waste Management Act (AB 939) are taken
to one of two regional landfills in the valley (San Timoteo: permitted until 2026 or Mid- Valley: pamitted
until 2033). The existing landfills have the capacity to handle the increase expected by the proposed
developmendt is anticipated that the existing solid waste provider (City of San Bernardino) would provide
service to the project site during and after construction. Significant impact to solid waste services or landfill
capacities is not anticipated.
}"'VI g) The City of San Bernardino Public Service Department is subject to all federal, state, and loalltatutes
regarding solid waste disposal. The proposed project will utilize the services provided by the City of San
Bernardino and will be subject to the same regulations as is the City. No impact is anticipated.

XVII a) The project site would not have a significant impact on biological resources because of the highly disturbed
nature of the site. Thus, the project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment
or substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wilcllife population to drop
below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major
. periods of California history or prehistory.
XVII b) The proposed project will not generate significant impacts to the environment because of the relatively
small size of the project - 48 dwelling units.

GS-4 All structures for human occupancy as defined by the Alquist-Priolo Fault Zoning Act shall maintain
a minimum distance of SO feet from the northeastern limit of faulting. Setback distance shall be
measures to the closest portion of the foundations of the proposed structures.
GS-S All structure for human occupancy shall maintain a minimum distance of 2S feet from the
northeastern limit of the intense, fault related liquefaction features. Setback distance shall be
measures to the closest portion of the foundations Qf the proposed structures.
GS-6 Post-tension foundations based on the Post Tensioning Institute method shall be utilized for the
support of proposed structures.
GS-7 All foundation excavations shall be approved prior to forming or placement of reinforcing steel by a
qualified engineer.
GS-8 Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the developer shall receive approval of an erosion control
plan and PM\U management plan from the Public Works Division of the Development Services
Department.
GS-9 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-.ite 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 Southem California.
b. An inspection and maintenance program shall be included to ensure that any erosion, which
does occur either on-site or off-s.ite as a result of this project, will be corrected through a
remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame.
HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
HAZ-l Materials suspected of containing asbestos are anticipated to exist in the Property buildings which
are proposed for demolition. When demolition has the potential to disturb the above materials, a
licensed California Certified Asbestos Consultant must 'survey the materials for asbestos. If
asbestos is found, an asbestos abatement contractor must first remove these items prior the
renovation or demolition.
HAZ-2 Given the age of the residences on-site, lead based paint may have been used in these residences. If
any renovation on the property involves the sanding, chipping, stripping or welding of painted
surfaces or if demolition will occur, a licensed California Certified Lead based Paint inspector and
Risk Assessor must survey the materials for lead content. This survey will determine the necessary
precautions and disposal requirements needed to perform the work safely.
HAZ-3 Fill material dumped on the property was visually identified to contain asphalt and may be
contaminated with low levels of petroleum products. Testing of this soil may be required for off-
site disposal. It is recommended that the landfill scheduled to receive this soil be contacted and
sampling requirements be obtained and followed prior to its removal off-site.
HAZ-4 There is a small discolored patch of soil, approximately two-feet by four-feet, along the north
Property border where it appears oil has been dumped This spill appears to be minimal and is not

anticipated to substantially contaminate the groundwater on the Property. It is recommended that
this soil be excavated and disposed of as petroleum contaminated.
HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
HWQ-! Prior to issuance of grading permits, the project shall be designed to establish a storm system that
would intercept run-off and treat pollutants of concem. The applicant sball prepare a Water
Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for the project that includes a description of the proposed
drainage system and the various components (including Side Design, Source Control and
Treatment Control BMPs) that will prevent significant disohuges of pollutants of concern into
receiving waters.
HWQ-2 Prior to issuance of grading permits, the developer shall file a Notice of Intent (NOl) with the
State Water Quality Control Board for construction disturbing one acre or more of land Prior to
(he issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall submit a copy of the NOI and accompanying
SWPPP that specifically identifies the BMP's that would be used on-site to control stormwater
on-site during construction.
HWQ-3
Prior to the issuance of grading permits, a site-specific drainage srudy, which meets the standards
of the City of San Bernardino Public Works Division shall be prepared by a Civil Engineer who is
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 into all grading and site improvement plans.
. NOISE
N-! Buyer Notification Prograrn--All potential buyers of homes in the project shall be notified to the
existence of the rail yards in the vicinity of the project and the fact that most of the activities at
these rail yards occur during the nighttime hours, that noise levels in the area are typically higher
during the nighttime hours than during the daytime hours, and that windows will need to be
closed to reduce the noise levels generated by the rail yard to below the City's standards,
although the residents are not required to keep the windows closed.
N-2 Mechanical Ventilation-Homes within the project will need to be able to keep their windows
closed to meet the City's 45 Ldn standard Therefore, mechanical ventilation confirming .to the
requirements of the Uniform Building Code will need to be provided to allow occupants to keep
their windows closed. Note that windows do not need to be sealed shut, but be able to remain
closed at the occupants' discretion. Mechanical ventilation allows this. The means to satisfy this
condition hall be included in the architectural drawings for the project prior to issuance of
building permits.

MITIGATION MONITORINGIREPORTING PLAN
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared to implement the
mitigation measures outlined in the Initial Study for the Tentative Tract No. 17754. 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 Plan contain 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.
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.
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.
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.

BR-l Burrowing owls are not expected to take. up residence on the site as long as the
current land management practices remain in force. However, if the site remainS
fallow, burrowing owls could colonize the property. In that event, it is
recommended that a focused survey for that species be conducted. Nesting season
occurs between February 1 and August 31, with the peak nesting period between
April 15 and July 15. Surveying should be conducted 30 days ahead of grading.
The survey shall be conducted according to the recommended guidelines of the
Burrowing Owl Consortium (1993). A report of findings shall be submitted to the
Development Service Department prior to issuance of grading permits.
