STAFF REPORT subject: Appeal of Conditions Placed on Review of Plans No. 89-44 for Tract No. 10432 Mayor and Council Meeting of December 18, 1989 REOUEST The applicant, the Robert Osborne Company, is appealing the imposition of certain conditions of approval for Review of Plans No. 89-44 by the Development Review Committee and the Planning Commission. The applicant requests that the Mayor and Council reconsider these conditions and remove them as conditions of approval. BACKGROUND Review of Plans No. 89-44 is a proposal to construct 42 single-family homes on 8.9 acres located on the westerly side of University Parkway, south of Kendall Drive and north of College Avenue in an area designated RS, Suburban Residen- tial, by the General Plan. The homes are proposed to be constructed on Tract No. 10432 which was approved on July 18, 1978. The final map for that tract was approved by Council on January 20, 1982. . The applicant is appealing the conditions requiring: 1) the installation of a storm drain along University Parkway per Master Plan storm Drain No. 7-E25, and 2) the installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk along University Parkway, together with the incidental widening of the street. The applicant contends that these conditions were not included in the original tract approval, and that the Review of Plans for the construction of homes is a non-discretionary process, in which the placement of additional conditions is not appropriate or legal. The City's position is that we do have the legal authority to place these conditions on the project because the Review of Plans process is discretionary, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) allows for protection of life and property through the placement of appropriate mitigating conditions, and there were conditions of approval on the original tract map that allow for the imposition of specific conditions to be placed on this Review of Plans approval. (For a detailed review of this issue, please review Exhibits A and D.) MAYOR AND COUNCIL OPTIONS . The Mayor and Council may deny the appeal and approve Review of Plans No. 89-44, subject to the Findings of Fact, Condi- tions and Standard Requirements contained in the October 17, 1989 Planning commission staff report; adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and, adopt the Mitigation Report- ing/Monitoring Program.

(Supports the appellant's request.) RECOMMENDATION Based on the need to place conditions on the project to protect the public health, safety and welfare, it is recom- mended that the Mayor and Council deny the appeal and approve the project as originally conditioned by the Development Review Committee and Planning Commission.

Robert Osborne Company, the 89-44. This application approved 42-single family near Kendall Drive and The particular subject of this appeal is the imposition of two conditions by the Development Review Committee under the City'S administrative review of plans procedure. These conditions relate to the construction of a second 30-inch storm drain pipeline alongside one that already exists on University parkway, and the installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements along University Avenue. . The project is one of three identical tracts (together with Tract Nos. 10430 and 10431) on University Parkway previously approved simultaneously by the Common Council. Final subdivision maps for all three have already been recorded, and the two tracts on either side of the project now in question have been constructed. Neither of the adjacent constructed tracts was required to include the improvements now being demanded of the Robert Osborne Company. . RUTAN & TUCKER ATTORNEYS AT L.AW . . . ... ."',"HellS"'.

The Development Review Committee imposed the appealed conditions on September 14, 1989. The conditions were appealed in writing to the Planning commission, and a hearing was held on October 17, 1989. After presentation of Mr. Osborne's legal position with respect to the conditions, the Planning Commission continued the matter pending further analysis by the City Attorney's office. The matter was again taken up by the Planning Commission at its meeting of November 7, 1989. There, a representative of the City Attorney's office opined that Municipal Code Section 19.08.035, governing review of plans, creates discretionary authority to impose further conditions on a project for which a final tract map had already been recorded. Apparently basing its action on this advice of counsel, the Planning Commission voted to deny Mr. Osborne's appeal of the conditions. Mr. Osborne's legal position on the matter is set forth in a series of correspondence with the City, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits B through F. Mr. Osborne respectfully requests the Mayor and Common Council's attention to two reasons why imposition of these conditions as this stage of proceedings is inappropriate. First, none of the bases articulated by staff grant the city the authority to impose these additional conditions. Second, even if authority is present, there is a complete absence of a factual record tying the need for such improvements to the pUblic service demands generated by the project. These points are treated separately below. 2. Legal Authority. According to statements made by the representative from the City Attorney's office at the November 7, 1989 meeting, staff relies upon (1) alleged discretionary elements in the review of plans ordinance to assert that CEQA is triggered, which in turn (2) gives the City discretionary authority to impose1 conditions to offset purported environmental effects. We believe that this analysis is . Staff originally relied upon city Resolution No. 86-420, which incorporates certain discretionary items of review to a 1 . RUTAN & TUCKER ATTORNEYS AT L.AW . . . ... ......,..EII'$..'. '''C:~'''O'''G MOOI'hS'OK&L C:OII~nONI . Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council city of San Bernardino November 14, 1989 Page 3 incorrect on both counts. First, the review of plans procedure does not constitute a completely new discretionary approval of the project, as staff's position suggests. A copy of the applicable ordinance is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The specific elements of review listed include maximum unit sizes, minimum square footage of habitable area, and setbacks. Each element contains precise numerical criteria, subject to automatic application, not requiring any discretion. . Staff advised that the language in Section 19.08.035 relating to "compatibility with surrounding residential buildings" injects a discretionary element. We respectfully disagree. The scope of the review is governed by the automatic criteria listed in the statute. Moreover, if the level of discretion the City Attorney finds in this statute has existed since its enactment in 1984, the creation of such discretionary elements for commercial, industrial and multi- family buildings in Resolution No. 86-420 would have been completely unnecessary. It would therefore appear that staff's current construction of section 19.08.035 is inconsistent with positions taken by the city previously. Second, even assuming the review of plans has a discretionary element, CEQA does not provide independent authority for the city to impose further conditions. (Public Resources Code section 21004: 14 California Code of Regulations section 15040.) To date, staff has failed to identify any legal authority independent of CEQA upon which it may impose these conditions. A final tract map for this project has already been recorded, and all conditions placed upon the tentative tract have been met. The review of plans procedure simply does not reopen the discretionary approvals already given: and even if CEQA is applicable, it does not authorize these conditions. . prior Resolution No. 83-48. This position is apparently been abandoned, since Resolution No. 83-48 relates only to commercial, industrial and mUlti-family projects, thereby exempting single family residences such as the project at issue here. Staff now apparently relies solely on section 19.08.035. . RUTAN & TUCKER ATTORNEYS AT LAW . . . .. """"1:""". ''''CWCI'''O ....,I'UI'O....~ c:O"'O....TIOHI . Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council City of San Bernardino November 14, 1989 Page 4 3. Absence of Factual Record. . Of course, it is axiomatic that conditions opposed upon a project must be related to the burdens it creates. Here, the improvements being required of the Robert Osborne Company will not serve the project, and are unrelated to any services needs the project may create. The Mayor and Common Council may be aware that a 30-inch pipeline to serve the drainage needs of the project has already been constructed, as part of the original final map approval. All drainage from the project site will flow into a downstream pipeline, which is in all respects sufficient for this purpose. The second pipeline now required will not serve any portion of the site, but rather is to be incorporated into a City-wide system, parts of which will be funded by the City itself. It may be arguable that the project will incrementally increase regional drainage needs, but the project is also subject to payment by the developer of over $30,000 in drainage fees for this purpose. Requiring construction of a second pipeline as part of the system for which these fees are collected appears to be a classic case of "double- dipping," and simply cannot be supported by the drainage requirements of the project. To date, staff has only indicated that the Environmental Review Committee has deemed that this pipeline is necessary for "public health, safety, and welfare." This conclusion and its bases are vague, and belied by the actual drainage situation on the project site. While staff's goal of attempting to advance overall regional improvements without pUblic costs may be understandable, the requirement of a second drainage pipeline is unsupportable here, both on the facts and the law. The same applies to the proposed street improvements. The project design calls for a solid wall all along the project's frontage on University. consequently, there will be no vehicular or pedestrian access to this area. The Mayor and Common Council may be aware that the two developments immediately adjacent to this project, also fronting on University, were not required to install the street improvements. Staff has made references to changed conditions in the neighborhood, but the City authorities under which development conditions are imposed have not . . . . . RUTAN & TUCKER A.TTORNEYS AT LAW . . .

CO~......"O..S Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council City of San Bernardino November 14, 1989 Page 5 changed substantially since those project approvals, and the record is devoid of any indication why such improvements would be required from this project. It may also be noted that both the street improvements and the pipeline are being required in a vacuum; neither will connect to improvements existing on either side of the project. Thus, apart from their legal difficulties, the conditions defy logic by requiring improvements which lead to nowhere. 4. Conclusion Both the city and Mr. Osborne are interested in having a quality residential development on this site. Mr. Osborne has agreed to all conditions placed upon the issuance of building permits here, except for the two now under appeal. Applicable legal authorities simply do not allow the City to advance regional public improvement programs by requiring improvements which have no demonstrable relationship to this project. Both as a matter of law and fact, these conditions are inappropriate. We therefore respectfully request the Mayor and Common Council to uphold the appeal, remove these conditions, and allow for the issuance of building permits for the project.

Dear Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission: At your last meeting on the above subject conducted on October 17, 1989, you requested that we summarize the position of the Osborne Development Company with respect to the storm drain and sewer-related conditions of approval imposed by the Development Review Committee and appealed by the applicant. In general, our opposition to the appealed conditions encompass (1) the lack of legal authority to impose the conditions, and (2) the absence of a factual record to justify the necessity of t~e conditions. . 1. Lack of Leqal Authority. The process now underway is the City's review of plans procedure. As you will recall, Tract No. 10432 is a recorded final map and Mr. Osborne is seeking building permits for the individual residential lots. None of the authorities identified by City staff, however, allow for the imposition of the conditions now being„appealed. In a nutshell, the review of plans procedure is a ministerial process as to the project. Municipal Code Section 19.08.035 deals simply with unit sizes, lot sizes, setbacks and heights; these matters do not entail the exercise of discretion. Resolution No. 86-420 (which amends . . . . RUTAN & TUCKER ATTORNEYS AT r.AW .. _.,..'"11...... ...cwo.... _..._~O.~...OO". . City of San Bernardino Planning Commission October 31, 1989 Page 2 Resolution No. 83-48) is inapplicable on its face to single family residential projects; instead, it pertains only to commercial, industrial and multi-family projects. The original conditions of approval and the improvement plans for Tract No. 10432 have already been satisfied, otherwise the final map would not have recorded. A mitigated negative declaration is improper because the State CEQA Gudelines exempt ministerial projects (see 14 Code of Cal. Regs. 9 15369), so CEQA is not an independent source of authority to impose conditions. . 2. Absence of Factual Record. City staff conveniently overlooks the fact that the approval of Mr. Osborne's project has been conditioned on the payment of approximately $30,000 in drainage fees to mitigate off-site impacts. The' project will ultimately drain only into an existing 30" pipe. City staff is now proposing that Mr. Osborne be required to construct a second 30" pipe, which no one else has been required to do in the area, when his project does not create the need for this additional improvement and will not benefit by the improvement. Mr. Osborne cannot be charged to contribute a pro rata share toward general master plan facilities and then be further required to build them at his expense. As to the street-related improvements, there is again no showing that the project will contribute to the need for those improvements. There is a continuous wall along University Parkway, with no vehicular or pedestrian access. Substantially identical proj ects (for example, Tract Nos. 10430 and 10431) were found not to contribute to the need for any of the improvements at issue, and the applicable City regulations have not materially changed in the interim. In clOSi.ng, Mr. Osborne i.s not at all disagreeable to paying his "fair share" of improvements required as a consequence of his project. We believe, however, that the appealed conditions go far beyond this standard and fail to have any basis in law or fact. We again request, therefore, that the appeal be sustained.

As I indicated to you, the Osborne Development Corporation has received design approval for its residential project. Mr. Osborne has, however, appealed certain of the Development Review Committee conditions pertaining to storm drain and street-related improvements. These improvements are not located within any of the lot boundaries for home construction. Thus, the appeal does not affect individual lot construction. Nevertheless, Mr. Osborne has been told by City officials that no building permits can issue until the appeal is finally determined. I acknowledge there is a dispute regarding the appealed conditions, yet that should not hold up the issuance of building permits. J . . . . . . . RUTAN & TUCKER ATTORNEYS AT L.AW .. ....,.c.s.... "'CLUO".G ~"C.'oO""L "'__"'00'" Mr. Marshall Julian October 24, 1989 Page 2 Pursuant to our discussion, I am enclosing a proposed draft of an agreement whereby the City would issue building permi ts for Mr. Osborne's proj ect (more particularly, the model homes and first phase of homes), notwithstanding the pendency of the appeal. Numerous safeguards for the City are built into the agreement. Needless to say, Mr. Osborne is anxious to initiate construction as soon as possible inasmuch as the City- approved grading has been completed and the carrying costs for the project are continuing to accrue. I sincerely appreciate your attention to and consideration of this matter. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience once you have had an opportunity to review the draft document so that we may discuss any revisions you believe are appropriate. Thank you again for your cooperation. Very truly yours, RUTP/JIL Philip D. Kohn PDK/jb Enclosure c~: Mr. Robert Osborne 1301063099-0004 ,------ -- . . . . . AGREEMENT . THIS AGREEMENT is made this _ day of October, 1989, by and between the CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO (the "CITY"), a municipal corporation, and OSBORNE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ("OSBORNE"), a California corporation. WHEREAS, OSBORNE is the owner of approximately 8.9 acres of real property located in the CITY commonly referred to as Tract No. 10432, for which a final map was recorded; and WHEREAS, OSBORNE submitted an application for Review of Plans for 42 single family houses, designated by the CITY as No. 89-44, which was conditionally approved by the CITY'S Development Review Committee on september 14, 1989; and WHEREAS, OSBORNE appealed to the Planning commission certain of the conditions approved by the Development Review- Committee relating to the installation of a storm drain and of curb, gutter and sidewalk along University Parkway; and WHEREAS, there is no other appeal pending with regard to the residential construction proposed to be undertaken in Tract No. 10432 as approved by the Development Review Committee; and WHEREAS, the above-referenced storm drain and street- related improvements pertain to portions of Tract No. 10432 lying outside of the individual residential lot boundaries within the subdivision; and WHEREAS, tr.e final outcome of OSBORNE'S appeal will have no impact on its entitlement to proceed with the residential constructicn of the 42 lots in accordance with the approval by the Development Review Committee subject to the other approved conditions; and WHEREAS, OSBORNE desires to commence residential construction of its proposed model houses (on lots 40-42) and its proposed first phase of houses (on lots 8-14 and 21-32); and . . . . . . WHEREAS, the CITY is agreeable to issuing building permits for such residential construction subject to certain understandings, safeguards and protections; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of recitals and promises set forth in this parties do hereby agree as follows: 1. The CITY agrees to forthwith issue building permits to OSBORNE for Tract No. 10432 for the limited purpose of commencing residential construction of OSBORNE'S proposed model houses (on lots 40-42) and its proposed first phase of houses (on lots 8-14 and 21-32). OSBORNE agrees to diligently proceed with such construction in accordance with the non-appealed conditions of approval imposed by the Development Review Committee pursuant to Review of Plans No. the foregoing Agreement, the . 89-44. 2. OSBORNE agrees that the CITY may withhold certificates of occupancy for any of the houses authorized to be constructed until there has been a final determination on the appeal of the storm drain and street-related improvements. If, upon the exhaustion of all available legal remedies, the appealed conditions are upheld as valid, then" OSBO~~E agrees to install those improvements. 3. OSBORNE agrees that the issuance of building permits subject to this Agreement shall not create any estoppel which would prevent the CITY from withholding certificates of occupar.cy in the event that OSBORNE fails to comply with all applicable final conditions of approval. The CITY agrees that the issuance of building permits subject to this Agreement shall not create any estoppel which would prevent OSBORNE from maintaining its above-mentioned appeal. 4. OSBORNE agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the CITY, its officers, employees and agents, from any and all obligations, liabilities, claims or losses for damages or injuries to persons or property occurring as a proximate result of the construction authorized by the building permits issued by CITY as set forth above, except where such damages I . -2- . . . . . . . or injuries arise sOlely from the negligence or willful misconduct of the CITY, its officers, employees or agents. 5. Each of the persons executing this Agreement warrants and represents that he is authorized to do so by the party on whose behalf the Agreement is executed.

On September 14, 1989, the City Development Review Committee ("DRC") approved Review of Plans 89-44 for the project subject to various conditions, most of which Mr. Osborne is perfectly willing to satisfy. . Please. consider this letter and the accompanying $75.00 fee to constitute an appeal of the following two conditions that were imposed on the DRC approval: (1) the installation of a second 30" storm drain parallel to University Parkway, and (2) the installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk along University Parkway together with an incidental widening of the street. Pursuant to a telephone conversation between Ms. Ray and Mr. Osborne I s office, the ownership list/mailing labels will be transmitted under separate cover. . . . . . RUTAN & TUCKER ATTORNEYS AT LAW .. -.,......... -cwo.1OG _III.O....~ C:O._."'O"~ . City of San Bernardino Planning Commission September 19, 1989 Page 2 As you may recall, Tract No. 10432 was part of a phased residential project proposed by the McCarthy Company/William Lyon Company and was approved by the City in conjunction with Tract Nos. 10430 and 10431. Tracts 10430 and 10431 were built out and are occupied I the commencement of Tract No. 10432, which is located between the other two tracts, was delayed because of the City's adoption of a moratorium in response to circumstances entirely unrelated to Tract No. 10432. A final subdivision map for Tract No. 10432 was recorded, the subdivision improvement plans were approved by the City, and the necessary subdivision improvement bonds have been posted. . The essence of this appeal by the Osborne Development Company is that the DRC seems to be using the Review of Plans process as an opportunity to conduct a wholesale reevaluation of a prior subdivision approval and to exact additional subdivision-wide improvements. We respectfully submit that applicable federal and state constitutional guarantees, state law and municipal regulations prohibit such a practice. The following consideration: points are presented for your 1. Neither Tract No. 10430 nor Tract No. 10431 were required to install the improvements which are the subj ect of this appeal, even though these other subdivisions are substantially similar (if not identical) to the project for Tract No. 10432. 2. The Review of Plans process, which is governed by Municipal Code Section 19.08.035, is a ministerial procedure confined to an examination of a project's site plans, floor plans and elevations in order to ascertain such matters as floor area, lot sizes, setbacks and building heights. This code provision does not authorize the imposition of new subdivision conditions such as those being appealed. 3. There is no reasonable relationship between any needs and impacts created by the subdivision and the appealed conditions. By way of prominent example, the project will not even be contributing any drainage to the additional storm drain now being required. Furthermore, over $30,000 in . . . . . . . . RUTAN &. TUCKER ATTORNEYS AT LAW . .......c..... IIICwOO..c. -.oo'CIIt._.. co___u.o... City of San Bernardino Planning Commission September 19, 1989 Page 3 drainage fees are being paid as a condition of project approval. 4. Finally, ORC has suggested that the appealed conditions are necessary because of the mitigated negative declaration prepared for Review of Plans 89-44. However, inasmuch as the Review of Plans process entails a ministerial procedure, the application is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and the City's own implementing regulations. Thus, this appeal extends to the negative declaration as well as the- protected conditions. The foregoing points were raised both at the Environmental Review Committee and the ORC meetings. The City Attorney's office has been apprised of our concerns on more than one occasion, but no official ~esponse has yet been received. In closing, we respectfully request the Planning Commission determine that (1) the appealed conditions be deleted and (2) the negative declaration be set aside as unnecessary since the project is exempt from CEQA. We assume that because this appeal relates only to certain conditions of approval, rather than the approval itself of the proposed structures, building permits for the individual residences will continue to issue in the ordinary course notwithstanding the pendency of the appeal. Please advise us as to when this appeal will be heard. We look forward to appearing at the meeting to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

San Bernardino City Attorney's Office 300 North "0" Street, Room 668 San Bernardino, California 92418 Re: Tract No. 10432 . Dear Mr. Empenio: As I indicated to you during our most recent telephone conversation on the above subject, the City's Environmental Review Committee determined to recommend the adoption of a mitigated negative declaration in connection with Osborne Development Corporation's application for review of plans and building permits. One of the staff members present at the meeting attributed an opinion to your office that the review of plansjbuilcing permit procedure is a discretionary process which is subject _~ environmental review and which may properly be the basis for exacting additional subdivision- wide improvements. . While the City now appears to concede that the design review process pursuant to Resolution 83-48 is inapplicable on its face to Mr. Osborne's project and, instead, Section 19.08.035 of the Municipal Code governs the proceedings underNay, it remains our vigorous contention that: (1) the review of plans and building permits procedure is a minister- ial process with a limited scope of inquiry floor area, lot size, and setbacks and height limits -- and without the authorization to impose materially new conditions, especially conditions unrelated to the review criteria and unrelated to demonstrable needs or burdens created by the subdivision so as to invoke due process and equal protection concerns, and (2) the review of plans and building permit procedure is . . RUTAN & TUCKER ATTORNEYS .AT LAW . . . .. __.....c~""OOJOCll_~ co__ . Henry Empenio, Esq. August 31, 1989 Second Page exempt from CEQA and the City's own implementing regulations. To understand our position, it would be useful to care- fully examine the judicial opinion in Friends of Westwood, Inc. v. City of Los Anqeles (1987) 191 cal.App.3d 259. You should pay particular attention to the discussion at pages 264-273, which strongly supports our view that the applicable City process involves a ministerial exercise. (See also 14 C.C.R. S15369.) To the extent that we are correct in char- acterizing the process as a ministerial/mandatory one and in characterizing the additional conditions as excessive, the City and its officials should be aware of their potential exposure, especially under the Federal Civil Rights Act. (See, ~, Bateson v. Geisse (9th Cir. 1988) 857 F.2d 1300 and Nollan v. California Coastal Commission (1987) 482 U.S. , 96 L.Ed.2d 250.) . Mr. Osborne remains hopeful that a mutually agreeable resolution of the dispute can be achieved during the admini- strative process and, of course, available remedies will be dil igently exhausted; however, his optimism is waning in light of the City'S continued and increasingly strident insistence that a wholesale re-evaluation of his tract approval can be conducted and that new conditions can be imposed via the building permit/plan review procedure. (In this regard, it is noteworthy to observe that Mr. Osborne could complete the previously approved tract improvements and market the project as a lot sale subdivision, resulting in individual building permit applications which obviously could not be conditioned as is presently proposed.) Something must be accomplishec as soen as possible, preferably prior to the September 14 Design Review Committee meeting, if the City is ga~~i~el~ in~e~es~sd i~ resolvin; the matter. The carrying costs and other expenses and liabilities incurred as a conse- quence of the delay in processing are still mounting. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

San Bernardino City Attorney's Office 300 North "0" Street, Room 668 San Bernardino, California 92418 Re: Tract No. 10432 . Dear Mr. Empenio: I am writing to follow up on our recent telephone con- versations regarding the above-referenced tract, located near Kendall Drive and University Parkway. As I indicated to you, this office represents the Osborne Development Corporation, who is the owner and developer of the subdivision. Tract 10432, consisting of 42 single family residential lots, was approved by the City in conjunction with Tracts 10430 and 10431 as a phased project proposed by the MCCarthy Com- pany/William Lyon Company. Tracts 10430 and 10431 were built out and are occupied; and the commencement of Tract 10432, which is located between the two other tracts, was delayed because of the City's adoption of a moratorium unrelated to the circumstances surrounding Tract 10432. The subdivision improvement plans for Tract 10432 have been approved and the necessary bonds have been posted. Mr. Osborne has sought the issuance of building permits and has been told that the subdivision must first undergo a "plan review process," ostensibly pursuant to city Council Resolution No. 83-48. As a result of an initial City staff meeting on August 3, it was suggested that Mr. Osborne would have to: (1) construct a second storm drain parallel to University Parkway, even though the subdivision does not . , '.

San Bernardino City Attorney's Office August 15, 1989 Second Page contribute water to such a storm drain; (2) install curbs, gutters and sidewalks along University Parkway, beyond the rear lot lines and perimeter block wall of the tract, even though neither of the adjoining tracts were so improved; and (3) alter the radius of interior streets from 20 feet to 25 feet. No final decision has been rendered to our knowledge, nor has Mr. Osborne received written notice of any decision. Please let us know when formal action has been taken. . First and foremost, it is Mr. Osborne's contention that his subdivision is clearly exempted from the plan review process. Section 1 of Resolution No. 83-48 makes it clear that the process pertains only to "commercial, industrial or- mUlti-family residential development intended for occupancy by more than two families." As noted above, Tract 10432 is a single family residential project. (Not surprisingly, the criteria for the plan review process are remarkably similar to the subdivision considerations and, therefore, the exemp- tion of single family residential projects is understand- able.) Furthermore, the additional improvements initially suggested were not conditions of approval for Tract 10432, were not required as building permit conditions for Tracts 10430 and 10431, and are apparently not specifically author- ized by any municipal code amendments adopted since all of the tracts were approved (including but not limited to Sec- tion 19.08.035, as has been mentioned by a planning staff member) . I also related to you the City staff's position that the request for building permits is subject to an environmental review process. Mr. Osborne is of the view that this process is also inapplicable to his project inasmuch as all discre- tionary approvals for the tract have already been obtained and the City's own environmental review procedures expressly exempt building permits from the process (see Resolution 13157, S 7(a)). We have been informed that an Environmental Review Committee meeting has been set for August 24, which is entirely unnecessa~. I appreciate your willingness to look into the matter. Mr. Osborne is anxious to proceed with the project. The additional improvements suggested at the initial plan review meeting carry a price tag of about $150,000 and, together . , '. . . .

Page 2 BACKGROUND The Planning commission recommended approval of Tentative Tract '10432, for 42 lots, on July 18, 1978 subject to certain conditions (See Attachment "C"). The Mayor and Common Council approved Tentative Tract 10432 on August 7, 1978. Several Extensions of Time were granted, the final one being from February 1, 1981 to February 1, 1982. The final map was approved on January 20, 1982 by the Mayor and Common Council. The tract has been recorded. On July 21, 1989, the applicant submitted the subject Review of Plans application for approval of the site plans, floor plans and elevations of 42 single-family homes. An Initial Study was prepared by staff (see Attachment "0") and on August 24, 1989, the Environmental Review Committee recommended adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration. The proposed Negative Declaration was advertised and the public comment period was provided from August 31, 1989 to September 13, 1989. No comments were received. On September 14, 1989, the Development Review committee approved Review of Plans No. 89-44 based on Findings and subject to Standard Requirements and Conditions. The Negative Declaration was adopted and the Mitigation Reporting/Monitoring Program was approved (see Attachment "E") . On September 19, 1989, the applicant filed the subject appeal (Attachment "An) which stays all of the above approvals until the Planning Commission decides upon the appeal. Analvsis The applicant is requesting an appeal of two Engineering requirements. The applicant failed to identify the specific condition numbers on the appeal letter. However, based on the two issues presented in the appeal letter, staff has identified four (4) Public Works Standard Requirements that relate to the two issues indicated in the appeal letter. . . . RP89-44 . . City of San Bernardino Memorandum to the planning commission for 10/17/89 meeting. Page 3 The first condition, the applicant is appealing, is the installation of a second 30" storm drain parallel to University Parkway. There are no Conditions or Standard Requirements that say this. However, Standard Requirement. NO. 34 requires design and construction of CSDP NO. 7-E25 based on a drainage study for the project (Standard Requirement No. 33). Based on the drainage study, the size of the required storm drain will be determined. . The second condition, the applicant is appealing, is the installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk along University Parkway with an incidental widening of the street. Public Works Standard Requirements Nos. 45, 46 and 47 all relate to street improvement and dedications. The applicant did not specifically appeal these standard requirements, they are appealing them as thev relate to Universitv Parkway. The applicant is not appealing the requirement for the other required street improvements and dedications required by these Standard Requirements. In the appeal letter, the applicant is alleging that the Development Review Committee is using the Review of Plans process as an opportunity to conduct a complete reevaluation of a prior subdivision approval and to exact subdivision-wide improvements. The appeal letter presents four points to consider. In summary they are: (1) Tentative Tracts 10430 and 10431 were not required to install the improvements that are the subject of this appeal, (2) the Review of Plans process is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), (3) there is no reasonable relationship between the impacts created by this subdivision and the required improvements and (4) the Development Review Committee imposed the conditions based on the Initial Study/Mitigation Measures on the project that is exempt from CEQA. The Engineering Department has reviewed the applicant's appeal letter and has provided the Planning Department with a memorandum responding to the appeal (see Attachment "F"). In summary, the Engineering Department indicates that contrary to the appeal letter, Tentative Tracts 10430 and 10431 constructed a 30" storm drain along University Parkway. Standard Requirement No. 34 requires Tentative Tract 10432 to construct the Master Plan Storm Drain per CSDP No. 7-E25. The . . _. . . RP89-~~ . . City of San Bernardino Memorandum to the Planning commission for 10/17/89 meeting. Page 4 Engineering Department down stream flooding contribute drainage. believes this is necessary to mitigate impacts to which this project will Condition No. 3 of the original Tentative Tract approval . (Attachment "C") indicates that "all drainage and flood control will be subject to recommendations of San Bernardino Engineering Division and the City Engineer's requirements'and approval." Attached are the San Bernardino County Flood control District's recommendations (Attachment "G"). Clearly, the original condition on the tract required compliance with the county Flood Control District ~ the city Engineer. The application should have appealed the condition in 1978 when it was originally required if they did not agree with it. . The City is currently constructing a portion of the Master Plan Storm Drain. As new projects come in, they will be required to construct the portion of the drain adjacent to it. The City will use its storm drain construction monies to complete the drain along developed parcels. In response to the appeal of University Parkway street improvements and dedication, the Engineering Department indicates that the appellant's letter seems to imply that they have a vested right to build under the 11-year-old Conditions approved for Tentative Tract 10432 in 1978. The Engineering Department knows of no authority in the state Subdivision Map Act or the Municipal Code which would afford them vested rights to build under the original conditions of the tentative map approval. The Engineering Department explains in their memo that in 1978 University Parkway was envisioned to reflect a rural concept, which was adequate at the time. Due to large growth in the area, the rural concept is no longer appropriate and all new developments adjoining university Parkway are required to install street improve- ments. These improvements are necessary to assure the health and safety of the residents of the new developments. In response to the appellant's claim that a Review of Plans to construct 42 single-family homes is ministerial, staff presents the following rebuttal. "Ministerial II describes a governmental decision involving little or no personal judge- ment as to the wisdom or manner of carrying out the project. Resolution No. 86-420,specifically, grants the Development Review Committee the responsibility of determining com- patibility of structures with the surrounding neighbor- hood. This involves discretion on the part of the . . . . . . city of San Bernardino Memorandum to the Planning Commission for 10/17/89 meeting. Page 5 Development Review Committee and, thus, makes. Review of Plans subject to the California Environmental Quality Act. CONCLUSION . . Review of Plans applications are not ministerial and are, therefore, subject to California Environmental Quality. An Initial study was conducted and it was determined by the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) that there was a potential public health and safety impact from the project. Mitigation measures to lessen the impact to non-significance were proposed by the Engineering Department and agreed upon by the Environmental Review Committee. Those mitigation measures were included as Conditions of Approval for the proposed development. The applicant is now appealing those conditions. One of the Conditions (to construct the Master Plan storm Drain) was an original conditon of the tract. Circumstances and conditions in the area of the proposed development have changed significantly since the original tract approval approximately 11 years ago. Additional street improvements are necessary to protect the public health and safety of the future residents of the proposed development. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning commission uphold the decision of the oevelopment Review Committee; deny the appeal of that decision; approve Review fo Plans No. 89-44, based on the Findings of Fact, Conditions of Approval and standard Requirements (Attachment "E"); adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and, adopt the Mitigation Reporting/Monitoring Program.

On September 14, 1989, the City Development Review Committee ("DRC") approved Review of Plans 89-44 for the project subject to various conditions, most of which Mr. Osborne is perfectly willing to satisfy. Please consider this letter and fee to constitute an appeal of the that were imposed on the DRC approval: of a second 30" storm drain and (2) the installation of University Parkway together with an incidental widening of the street. Pursuant to a telephone conversation between Ms. Ray and Mr. Osborne's office, the ownership list/mailing labels will be transmitted under separate cover. the accompanying $75.00 following two conditions (1) the installation parallel to University Parkway, curb, gutter and sidewalk along . . . . .

''''Af''{'''5'''~ 'OOC"JO'"G -.o>C~SIO".< C..'....",~",...~ City of San Bernardino Planning Commission September 19, 1989 Page 2 As you may recall, Tract No. 10432 was part of a phased residential project proposed by the McCarthy Company/William Lyon Company and was approved by the City in conjunction with Tract Nos. 10430 and 10431. Tracts 10430 and 10431 were built out and are occupied; the commencement of Tract No. 10432, which is located between the other two tracts, was delayed because of the City's adoption of a moratorium in response to circumstances entirely unrelated to Tract No. 10432. A final subdivision map for Tract No. 10432 was recorded, the subdivision improvement plans were approved by the City, and the necessary subdivision improvement bonds have been posted. . The essence of this appeal by the Osborne Development Company is that the DRC seems to be using the Review of Plans process as an opportunity to conduct a wholesale reevaluation of a prior subdivision approval and to exact addi tional subdivision-wide improvements. We respectfully submit that applicable federal and state constitutional guarantees, state law and municipal regulations prohibit such a practice. The following consideration: points are presented for your 1. Neither Tract No. 10430 nor Tract No. 10431 were required to install the improvements which are the subject of this appeal, even though these other subdivisions are substantially similar (if not identical) to the project for Tract No. 10432. 2. The Review of Plans process, which is governed by Municipal Code Section 19.08.035, is a ministerial procedure confined to an examination of a project's site plans, floor plans and elevations in order to ascertain such matters as floor area, lot sizes, setbacks and building heights. This code provision does not authorize the imposition of new subdivision conditions such as those being appealed. 3. There is no reasonable relationship between any needs and impacts created by the subdivision and the appealed conditions. By way of prominent example, the project will not even be contributing any drainage to the additional storm drain now being required. Furthermore, over $30,000 in . . . . . . . .

City of San Bernardino Planning Commission September 19, 1989 Page 3 drainage fees are being paid as a condi tion of project approval. 4. Finally, ORC has suggested that . the appealed conditions are necessary because of the mitigated negative declaration prepared for Review of Plans 89-44. However, inasmuch as the Review of Plans process entails a ministerial procedure, the application is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and the City's own implementing regulations. Thus, this appeal extends to the negative declaration as well as the protected conditions. The foregoing points were raised both at the Environmental Review Committee and the ORC meetings. The City Attorney's office has been apprised of our concerns on more than one occasion, but no official response has yet been received. In closing, we respectfully request the Planning Commission determine that (1) the appealed conditions be deleted and (2) the negative declaration be set aside as unnecessary since the project is exempt from CEQA. We assume that because this appeal relates only to certain conditions of approval, rather than the approval itself of the proposed structures, building permits for the individual residences will continue to issue in the ordinary course notwithstanding the pendency of the appeal. Please advise us as to when this appeal will be heard. We look forward to appearing at the meeting to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

ENVIRONMENTAL EV ALUA T1QN AND MITIGATION MEAS~ES 2.c. . The proposal will result in development within the High Wind Hazard area. city Ordinances require that the roof be tile and attached with hurricane clips. This is a Building and safety Department Standard Requirement. The Building and Safety Department will insure that the roof meets city requirements prior to issuing building permits. Therefore this potential impact is non-significant. 3.a. The projec~ could result in changes in drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface runoff due to impermeable surfaces. The Engineering Department will require that the storm drain located in University: Parkway be up graded to meet the City Master Storm Drain Plan. A condition of approval shall be added to the project requiring the storm drain improvement. 5.b. . The project could result in the exposure of people to exterior noise levels over 65 dB or interior noise levels over 45 dB. The General Plan has identified University Parkway as generating noise levels above 65 dB in this area. The General Plan also states, "These estimates of roadway noise shoud be considered only as approximations as they do not incorporate the possibility of variations in terrain or the possible occurrence of intervening structures which may provide a "Shielding effect". The City has required a 30 foot setback from university Parkway. The Parks and Recreation Department will required that the setback be well landscaped. In addition, a 6 foot block wall is required along University Parkway. The. elevation of the wall is four feet above the road bed. Both the block wall and the landscaping will reduce the potential impact. No further mitigation is required of this development and the potential impacts are non-significant. 6.a. The project site is designated as RS-Residential Suburban by the General Plan adopted June 2, 1989, by the Mayor and Common Council. This designation allows a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet and a density of 4.5 units per acre. This site is a recorded Tract with lot sizes ranging from . . '.... . . . . . , ENVIRONMENTAL EV ALUA nON AND MITIGATION MEAStflES 7,200 to approximately 11,250 square feet. The density is 4.7 units per acre. These are legal lots of record and no mitigation is necessary. 9.d. The project will result in an alternation of present patterns of circulation. The project will complete both Varsity Avenue and Cambridge Avenue to Universal Avenue to City Engineering Department standards. This will improve the circulation in the area and requires no mitigation. The curb and qutter along University Parkway which abuts the property to the east will have to be brought up to current city code. The Engineering Department will add a condition of approval requiring that the curb and gutter along University Parkway be brought up ~o current code 'requirements. 11.a 3. . The proposal may impact the Water Department beyond the capability to provide adequate levels of service. The Water Department will require a water main extension and that sewer capacity rights be purchased prior to .issuing building permits. This reduces the potential impact to a level of non-significance. References General Plan City Water Department Engineering Department City of San Bernardino PC:.

Agenda Itee4 Page 57 October 17, 1989 MITIGATION REPORTING/MONITORING PLAN FOR THE -REVIEW OF PLANS 89-44 MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION INTRODUCTION In compliance with Public Resource Code Section 21081.6 (enacted by passage of AB3180 (Cortese), public agencies approving projects which may cause significant environmental impacts must monitor the mitigation of those impacts. This Mitigation Reporting /Monitoring Plan, prepared for Osborne Development Company, ensures implementation of the mitigation measures adopted by the Development Review Committee in approving the project and the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Mitigation Measures and Reporting/Monitoring Activities Pr ior to beginning construction the applicant shall furnish the City Planning Department with a checklist chart to use in tracking the mitigation inoni tor ing and reporting activities. The chart shall list each mitigation measure, monitoring or reporting action and be ruled into columns that are designed to record responsible agency, dates of completion, inspector or other certifying person and the person recording the information. Water Resources Mitigation Measures 3.a. The project could result in changes in drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface runoff due to impermeable surfaces. The Engineering Department will require that the storm drain located in University Parkway be up graded to medt the City Master Storm Drain Plan. A condition of approval shall be added to the project requiring the storm drain improvement. Water Resources Reporting/Monitoring Action Upon Final acceptance of the developer's work on the storm drainage facilities, the City Engineering Department shall notify the City Planning Department in writing of compliance. The planning staff shall retain such notice in the project file and annotate the file indicating compliance with the measure. Transportation/Circulation Mitigation Measures 9.d. The curb and gutter along University Parkway which abuts the property to the east shall be constructed to meet current City codes.

We are providing the following comments in response to your Rapid Memo. dated 10-3-89. requesting review of an appeal of Conditions of Approval submi tted by Rutan and Tucker. Attorney for Osborne Development Company. in their letter dated 9-19-89. Point 1 of Rutan & Tucker letter (page 2) 1. Installation of a 30" storm drain along the Westerly side of University Parkway -- Contrary to the appeal letter. TR 10430 and TR 10431 constructed a 30" storm drain along the Westerly side of University Parkway. Condition of Approval No. 34 requires that Tract No. 10432 construct the Master Plan Storm Drain per CSDP Project No. 7-E25. Thi s project is needed to mi ti gate down stream fl oodi ng impacts to which this project will contribute drainage. The City is currently constructing a portion of this Master Pl an Storm Drai n under the 1-215 Freeway. and we expect to require each new project to construct the portion of the drain adjacent to it as adjourning property develops. The City will use it's storm drain construction monies to complete the reaches along developed parcels. The storm drainage fees paid by this project is used to solve City-wide drainage problems. which benefits all city residents. 2. Construction of Curb. Gutter. and Sidewalk Along Universit~ Parkway With Incidental Wldening -- Tracts No. 10350. 10 51. and 10352 were orlgina11y approved in 1978.

Director -- Planning October 6. 1989 File No. RP 89-44 (Recorded TR 10432) Subject: RP 89-44: 42 SFR Lots Located Near Kendall Drive & University Parkway (Osborne Development Company) Attn: Ann Larsen large apartment complexes commercial development under commercial development being existing. construction' planned next one small retail and one large retail to College Avenue. Due to this growth. the rural concept is no longer appropriate and all new developments adjoining University Parkway are being required to construct curb & gutter, sidewalk, street lights, road widening and parkway landscaping. The apartment projects across the street from Tract No. 10432 were required to improve University Parkway as stated above. These improvements are necessary to assure the health and safety of the residents. and visitors to the new developments. The appellant's letter seems to imply that they have a vested right to build under the 11 year old conditions approved for Tentative Tract No. 10432 in 1978. We do not know of any authority in the Subdivision Map Act or the Municipal Code which would afford them vested rights to build under the original conditions of the tentative map approval. ROGER G.

These trscts lie in the same general area on Which Tract 7452 was filed in 1964. In our opinion, these tracts are reasonably free of serious flood hazards from major flood channels and drainage courses. However, the site is traversed by tributary local drainage flows from the undeveloped area to the north, primarily in sheet flow conditions. It is, therefore, recommended a separate report be obtained from the City Engineer in this regard. It should be noted that the preliminary Comprehensive Storm Drain Plan for the area indicates a 66" RCP along State College Parkway and a 75" RCP along a portion of College Avenue. A copy of the Preliminary Comprehensive Storm Drain plan is enclosed for your review. If this office can provide any additional information, please advise. Very truly yours, " d;~ C..A?... , dtL'c.
