STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Development Code Amendment No. 91-08
Mayor and Common Council Meeting of
February 3, 1992
REOUBST
Under the direction of .the Legislative Review Committee (LRC), a
Development Code amendment to revise sections 19.04.030(2) (G) and
(H) (1) (a) has been drafted for consideration by the Mayor and
Common Council. This amendment proposes to delete the minimum
residential room size standards in all land use districts and to
revise the minimum dwelling size standards for non-infill single
family detached dwellings in the RE (Residential Estates), RL
(Residential Low), RS (Residential Suburban) and RU (Residential
Urban) land use districts citywide.
BACKGROUND
On June 3, 1991 San Bernardino's new Development Code became
effective. The residential room and unit size standards currently
read as follows:
MXNXMUM ROOM SXZE STANDARDS
Room

MXNXMUM NON-XNFXLL SXNGLE-FAMXLY DWELLING SIZE STANDARDS
The following minimum dwelling areas are computed by
calculating the living area as measured from the outside of
walls and excludes garages, carports, exterior courtyards,
patios or balconies:

Development Code Amendment No. 91-08
Mayor and Common co~ncil Meeting of February 3, 1992
Page 2
On October 21, 1991, an urgency ordinance was taken before the
Mayor and Common Council to allow reductions from the required unit
size requirements in the RS and RU land use districts through
approval of a variance. The finding of urgency was based on a
project submitted to the Planning Division for a 17-unit single-
family subdivision with an average unit size of 1,450 square feet,
which the developer sUbmjtted without consulting City codes, and
was subject to losing the financing if the project could not be
approved in October. Planning staff would have supported such a
variance because the project is located within a nearly built out
residential district where the average unit size is approximately
1,200 square feet and because the proposed 17-unit development was
not enough to change the scale and character of the area, or to
establish separate character for itself. However, the City Attorney
advised the Mayor and Council that the finding for urgency was not
valid, and Staff was directed to follow normal ordinance adoption
procedures.
Because the urgency aspect was invalidated, Staff was afforded the
opportunity to develop a more fully conceived revision to the
Development Code standards. Rather than pursue the variance
concept, Staff considered wholesale revisions to the room and unit
size requirements of the Development Code. On January 7, 1992, the
following revisions to the Development Code were presented to the
Planning Commission for consideration at a noticed public hearing:
MINIMUM ROOM SIZE STANDARDS
Room

developed within a 1,000-foot radius, the minimum
unit size may be reduced to 1,000 square feet and

the average may be reduced to the average of the existing
single-family dwelling units in the same land use
district wi thin 1,000 feet of the proj ect perimeter.
However, if this option is utilized and the average unit
size of the existing dwellings within the above defined
parameters exceeds the current Development Code
requirements, the minimum average unit size of the
proj ect shall. equal the average unit size of those
dwellings. The maximum size of the tract shall not exceed
40 acres or 160 units.
The proposed revisions to unit size requirements were designed to
reflect the physical and intended differences between the various
residential land use districts, as specified in the General Plan.
The provision to allow for a reduced unit size in certain RS
districts is intended to promote the continui ty of scale in
established neighborhoods. The determination of room sizes is
proposed to be left to market forces because it does not appear
that the size of a bedroom or bathroom within a house has the
potential of influencing other land uses.
For purposes of comparison, staff recited the following unit size
standards of neighboring cities to the Planning commission:

CEOA STATUS
Article 5, Section 15061 (b) (3) of the California Environmental
Quality Act states that, in general, CEQA applies only to projects
that could have a significant effect on the environment (Section
15378 defines zoning ordinance amendments as "projects"). Where it
can be determined with certainty that no possibility exists fora
.
.

project to have a significant effect on the environment, the
project is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed amendment to
the Development Code will not lead to an increase in the allowable
density or intensity of residential development, Staff has
determined that Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 is exempt from
the provisions of CEQA.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At the Planning Commission hearing of January 7, 1992, a motion to
recommend adoption of Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 did not
carry due to a tie vote. An alternative motion to adopt the
amendment with an increase in the RL standards to require a 1,500
square-foot minimum was not seconded. Ultimately no recommendation
on the proposed amendment carried; rather, the Commission voted
unanimously to request a meeting with the Mayor and Common Council
to discuss the proposed revisions prior to Council action.
MAYOR AND COUNCIL OPTIONS
1. The Mayor and Common Council may adopt the ordinance and
approve Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 based on the
findings contained- in Exhibit 1.
2. The Mayor and Common Council may adopt the ordinance and
approve Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 subject to
revisions to the standards proposed by staff.
3. The Mayor and Common Council may deny Development Code
Amendment No. 91-08.
RECOMMENDATION
staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council adopt the
ordinance, copy attached, which adopts and approves Development
Code Amendment No. 91-08 as presented.

On October 21, 1991, an urgency ordinance was taken before the
Mayor and Common Council to allow reductions from the required unit
size requirements in the RS and RU land use districts through
approval of a variance. The proposed ordinance also limited
variance applications to areas where the tracts in question contain
20 or fewer undeveloped lots and the land within a 1000-foot radius
of the project is 75 percent developed; this provision was designed
to ensure that such an exception from the Code standards would be
allowed only where the established character of a neighborhood
consisted of unit sizes that fell below current standards and the
size of the development would be too small to alter that character.
The finding of urgency was based on a project submitted to the
Planning Division for a 17-unit single-family subdivision with an
average unit size of 1,450 square feet. The developer submitted the
project after obtaining financing, but without consulting City
codes, and was subject to losing the financing if the project could
not be approved in October. Planning Staff would have supported
such a variance because the project is located within a nearly
built out residential district where the average unit size is
approximately 1,200 square feet and because the proposed 17-unit
development was not enough to change the scale and character of the
area, or to establish separate character for itself. However, the
city Attorney advised the Mayor and Council that the finding for
urgency was not valid, and Staff was directed to follow normal
ordinance adoption procedures.
Because the urgency aspect was invalidated, Staff was afforded the
opportunity to develop a more fully conceived revision to the
Development Code standards. Rather than pursue the variance
concept, Staff considered wholesale revisions to the room and unit
size requirements of the Development Code. On November 21, 1991,
Staff presented the following concept to the Legislative Review

other, less restrictive proposals were submitted by representatives

* When the proposed project is in an area that is 75'
developed within a 1,000-foot radius, the minimum
unit size may be reduced to 1,000 square feet and
the average may be reduced to the average of the
existing single-family dwelling units in the same
land use district within 1,000 feet of the project
perimeter. However, if this option is utilized and
the average unit size of the existing dwellings
within the above defined parameters exceeds the
current Development Code requirements, the minimum
average unit size of the project shall equal the
average unit size of those dwellings. The maximum
size of the tract shall not exceed 40 acres or 160
units.
UlALYSIS
The proposed reV1S1ons to unit size requirements are designed to
reflect the physical and intended differences between the various
land use districts, as specified in the General Plan. For example,
the RE designation is intended to promote development that conveys
an "estate" or "rural" character on lots that are at least one acre
in area: whereas the RS designation is intended for single-family
suburban development with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet.
However, in all residential districts, a minimum average unit size
of 1,700 square feet is currently required by the Development Code.
The provision that would allow for a reduced unit size in certain
RS districts is intended to promote the continuity of scale in
established neighborhoods. Staff originally proposed that this
reduction be limited to developments consisting of 20 units or
less, because a larger project has the potential of establishing
a character or "neighborhood" separate from the surrounding
development. However, the compromise reached with the building
industry included a concession to allow a cap of 160 units.
The elimination of the room size requirements is fundamentally
based on the concept that planning should not regulate activities
based on their intrinsic value, but rather on how those activities
affect others. The size of bedrooms in residential development,
beyond minimum health and safety standards, has been influenced by
the choices of home buyers. Families are smaller than in the past,
and the need for bedrooms that can accommodate multiple family
members has been diminished. The size of a bedroom or bathroom
within a house does not appear to have the potential of generating
an externality that would influence other land uses, either
negatively or positively.

COIICLUSJ:OII
Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 attempts to implement unit
size requirements for non-infill, single-family dwellings that
more closely reflect the differences between the RE, RL, RS and RU
land use districts as defined in the General Plan. The proposed
changes also provide more flexibility for development within these
districts than currently allowed by the Development Code without
compromising the high standards of quality promoted by the General
Plan and Development Code.
RBCOMMEIIDATJ:OII
Staff recommends that the Planning commission make a recommendation
to the Mayor and Common council to revise Sections 19.04.030(2) (G)
and (H) as proposed in this staff report to eliminate room size
requirements, except for garages, and to change the minimum non-
infill single-family dwelling size standards based on the land use
district in which development is proposed.

1. Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 is consistent with the
General Plan by:
a. Accommodating housing which meets "the diverse economic
and social needs of the residents" and retaining the
"scale and character of existing residential
neighborhoods; " (Obj ecti ve 1. 8)
b. Permitting "a range of residential unit types" in the RE
(Residential Estate), RL (Residential Low), RS
(Residential Suburban) and RU (Residential Urban) land
use districts; and (Policy 1.8.10)
c. Defining minimum unit sizes "to maintain the scale and
character of existing residential neighborhoods."
(Policy 1.8.30)
2. Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 will not be detrimental
to the public interest, health safety, convenience or welfare
of the City in that the proposed amendment will not lead to
an increase in the allowable density or intensity of
residential development.

Al Boughey, Director of Planning
City of San Bernardino
300 North "D" Street
San Bernardino, Ca. 92401
Dear Mr. Boughey:
Subject: Development Code amendment, minimum home size
The Development Code stipulates a 1700 sq. ft. minimum
home size. The cur~ent compromise recommendation is 1200 sq.
ft. I do not support either of the two standards. I am
particularly concerned regarding the northern portion of our
community. If consistency with existing development is to be a
guideline for future development then 1200 sq. ft. is to small.
The role of new housing in our community is an important
policy question that needs to be more thoroughly defined in the
General Plan. While it is important to the process of
developing standards it is a subject left for another day.
As a 30-year resident of San Bernardino I have seen
considerable development. To recommend. an "appropriate"
standard I surveyed 30 subdivisions built over the past 15
years. While it is not a complete list, it is all the
information I could gather and represents a reasonable
cross-section of new homes (see attached survey). The survey
is concentrated in the northern portion of the City since that
is the area I feel most confident in offering a professional
opinion. From the survey I have developed some conclusions:
I
.
.
1) Only 2 of the 8 subdivisions presently being sold
contain homes less than 1350 sq. ft.
2) Only 10 subdivisions in the entire survey offered
homes less than 1350 sq. ft.
3) Larger lot sizes result in larger homes.
4) Local builders tend to build larger homes when
compared to all developers.
I address my recommendations to that portion of the City
lying east of Fry. 215 and north of Fry. 30. It is not that
other areas of the City should have different standards but
that I only feel confident in my research for the northern
portion. My recommendations are:
RE - 1700 sq. ft.
RL - 1500 sq. ft.
RS - 1350 sq. ft.
(excluding cluster development)
Any proposed regulation should be tested in the real
world. If the 1350 sq. ft. standard were applied to Tract No.
13554 which is presently being built in the Northpark area,
only 1 (11%) of their 5 floor plans would be eliminated. The
question of how much first-time buyer (entry level) housing
should be incorporated into new subdivisions is a matter of
debate. I believe the City should sponsor financing to focus
first-time buyers towards the existing housing market which
would create a sale for the "move up" buyer.
I do not recommend an "average" sq. ft. size. The formula
becomes confusing and lends itself to varying interpretations.
Builders will offer a range of home sizes in order to sell to a
broad market. During the public hearing process the City
Council retains the opportunity to condition individual tracts
with a formula of home sizes as warranted.
If we are to have standards at all they should be
appropriate for San Bernardino. Neither the present Code or
the committee recommendation fits our needs. If the Council
wishes to discuss this matter further I am confident that other
local builders will support my recommendation at future
hearings.
Sincerely,
.
