CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT SUBJECT: Appeal of the Planning Commission's Determination - Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 and Variance No. 02-07 Mayor and Common Council Meeting of December 16, 2002 Owner/Appellant: Mark Sandaval III North 5th Street No.8 Redlands, CA 92373 909-335-0330 BACKGROUND The appellant is appealing the Planning Commission determination of Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 and Variance No. 02-07. The Conditional Use Permit was requested to establish a fast food, drive-thru restaurant at the southeast comer of Rosewood and Tippecanoe Avenues. The site is approximately 26,572 square feet and located in the CG-I, Commercial General, land use district. The site is also located in the Freeway Corridor Overlay District. (Exhibits I and 2) The Variance was requested to modify the Freeway Corridor Overlay District requirements as follows: . (A): allow the drive aisle and parking within the freeway 25-foot freeway landscape setback. . (B): allow the refuse enclosure within the freeway 25-foot freeway landscape setback. . (C): allow a portion of the building within the freeway 50-foot freeway setback. At its meeting on August 22, 2002, the Planning Commission took the following action: . Adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program. . Approved Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10. . Approved Variance No. 02-07 to allow a portion of the drive aisle to be located within the 25-foot freeway landscape setback, to allow the refuse enclosure within the 25-foot freeway landscape setback, and to allow a portion ofthe building within the 50-foot freeway setback. . Denied Variance No. 02-07 to allow parking within the 25-foot freeway landscape setback. Commissioners Coute, DUff, Enciso, Lockett, Sauerbrun, Thrasher, and Vasquez voted in favor of the motion. Commissioners Morris and Welch were absent. Refer to the Planning Commission Staff Report for additional discussion (Exhibit 3). The restaurant needs 29 parking spaces as per Section 19.24.040 of the Development Code. The project, as proposed, provides 27 spaces, and is short 2 spaces. Six ofthe spaces are within the Appeal No. 02-07 December 16, 2002 Page 2 25-foot freeway landscape setback. The applicant obtained a reciprocal parking agreement with the owner of the adjacent Denny's Restaurant. Staff and the Planning Commission did not support the portion of the Variance which would have allowed significant encroachment of paved parking stalls in the required 25-foot freeway landscape setback. However, this portion of the Variance was unnecessary as a result of the reciprocal parking agreement. Based on that factor, staff recommended approval of the project and recommended that the six parking spaces on the south side of the site adjacent to the freeway off-ramp be removed to free-up site circulation. The Planning Commission's action was based on this factor. On November 5, 2002, the appellant filed an appeal to the Mayor and Common Council. The appellant is asking that the Mayor and Common Council overturn the decision of the Planning Commission and approve Variance No. 02-07 (A) that would allow parking within a significant portion of the 25- foot freeway landscape setback area. The appellant's grounds for the appeal are that 1) Caltrans plans to vacate the freeway off-ramp; and 2) additional freeway 25-foot landscaping is a burden (Exhibit 4.) The Freeway Corridor Overlay District addresses siting and design of commercial and industrial structures adjacent to the freeways that traverse the City. It was not established to preserve land area for potential, future freeway improvement projects. At this time, it would be too premature to assume that Caltrans will vacate the adjacent freeway-off ramp and that the excess property would be added to the proposed restaurant site. In accordance with Caltrans' recently adopted Project Study Report, there are no supporting facts and data to support the appellant's claim. (Exhibits 5 and 6) Although the City Attorney's Office advised the Planning Commission that they could not make the factual findings to support the Variance, it was approved as discussed above. Staff later met with the City Attorney's Office to discuss the Findings of Fact contained in the Planning Commission staffreport. After revisiting the issue, the City Attorney's Office advised Planning that the shape of the parcel- a trapezoid - could be used as a basis, if desired by the Mayor and Common Council, to constitute a special circumstance that could support approval of a Variance. Revised Findings of Fact were prepared to support their determination. (Exhibit 7) FINANCIAL IMPACT None, the Applicant paid the appeal fee. OPTIONS . The Mayor and Common Council can approve Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 and Variance No. 02-07, based on the Findings of Fact and subject to the Conditions of Approval and Standard Requirements, consistent with the determination of the Planning Commission. (Exhibit 3, Attachments C and D.) Appeal No. 02-07 December 16, 2002 Page 3 . The Mayor and Common Council can approve Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 and Variance No. 02-07, after consideration ofthe desirability, appropriateness, and necessity for the Variance and in light ofthe City Attorney's opinion that the Variance could have been granted based on the shape ofthe parcel, based on the Revised Findings of Fact and subject to the Conditions of Approval, as requested by the applicant. (Exhibit 7 and Exhibit 3, Attachments C and D.) . The Mayor and Common Council can continue this item and direct staff to process an amendment to the Development Code related to setbacks in the Freeway Corridor Overlay District. RECMMENDATION Staff recommends: . That the Mayor and Common Council deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission's determination of Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 and Variance No. 02-07 that precludes parking within the Freeway Corridor Overlay District 25-foot landscape setback. OR . That the Mayor and Common Council grant the appeal and approve Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 and Variance No. 02-07 as requested by the applicant.

The project site is approximately 26,572 square feet and is located at the southeast comer of Rosewood and Tippecanoe Avenues in the CG-I, Commercial General, land use district (Attachments A & B). The applicant also requests approval ofa Variance to the Freeway Corridor (FC) Overlay District, Development Code Section 19.14.030 (1) and (2) as follows: A) allow parking within the freeway 25-foot landscape setback, B) allow refuse enclosure within the freeway 25-foot landscape setback, and C) to allow portion of the building within the freeway 50-foot building setback line. The FC Overlay District, Section 19.14.030 (I) requires a 25-foot landscape setback along all freeway frontages whether the property fronts or backs up to the freeway. The applicant is proposing to provide an average of 3 feet landscape setback to allow 6 additional parking stalls and refuse enclosure. The FC Overlay District, Section 19.14.030 (2) requires a minimum building setback of 50 feet away from the freeway right of way line. The applicant is proposing to provide 45 feet 4 inches to allow for a freezer unit. The freezer unit will encroach approximately 4 feet 6 inches into the freeway 50-foot building setback line. The project will be constructed in one phase. The property has been designed with a fast food rest;lUrant and a drive-thru located in the center of the site. Surrounding the building and the drive-thru are 45-degreed parking stalls and landscaping. Vehicular access to the site is limited with one ingress/egress entry driveway on Rosewood Avenue. The on-site driveway accommodates a one-way lane. The walk-in service area will be from 6:00 am to midnight and the drive-thru service area will be from 6:00 am to 2 am, 7 days per week. SETTING/SITE CHARACTERISTICS , ,4, The property is vacant, generally flat and rectangular in shape. The site was a former service gas station. The gas station business became vacant in 2000 and recently the on-site building was demolished and all the underground tanks have been removed. To the north and east are commercial retail establishments in the CG-l, Commercial General, land use district. To the south and adjacent to the site is the 1-10 Freeway Tippecanoe Avenue Off-ramp. To the west across Tippecanoe A venue is the approved/proposed HUB development commercial vacant land in the CR-3, Commercial Regional, land use district. ____J e e e Conditional Use Pennit No. 02-10 Variance No. 02-07 October 22, 2002 Page 3 BACKGROUND The Development/Environmental Review Committee (D/ERC) initially reviewed the proposal on May 9, 2002. The proposal was continued to July 18, 2002, to allow sufficient time for the applicant to revise the site plan to address land dedication requirement as well as to allow staff to circulate the Initial Study for the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration for a 20-day public review period. The Initial Study received two comments from I) City of Lorna Linda and 2) State of California - Department of Transportation (Attachments G). The comments were noted and have been reviewed by the Public Works Division. A conditional of approval was added to the project requiring the Applicant to dedicate 6- foot wide strip of land on Tippecanoe A venue for future street widening and street improvements on Tippecanoe A venue as well as set aside bond money for those street improvements. A condition of approval has also been added that the Applicant obtainj/Aan encroachment permit for any work done within the Department of Transportation right of way. The Development Review Committee reviewed the Initial Study, comments received during the public review period, and proposed responses to comments, and on August 22, 2002, cleared the project to the Planning Commission. FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1. Is the proposed use conditionally permitted within the subject land use district, would it impair the integrity and character of the subject land use district, and does it comply with all of the applicable provisions of this Development Code? Yes, pursuant to Development Code Section 19.06.020 Table 06.01 (2)(1), fast-food restaurants with drive-thrus are permitted in the CG-I, Commercial General land use district, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit, The proposed project complies with all applicable provisions of the Development Code as shown below in Table "A", except those for which the Applicant has filed a variance. See Table "A" below: e e e Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 Variance No. 02-07 October 22. 2002 Page 4 Table "A" DEVELOPMENT CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE CATEGORY PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT GENERAL PLAN CODE Permitted Use Fast-food Restaurant Permitted subject to N/A with a Drive-thru Conditional Use Permit Height I story - 22 feet 2 stories or 30 feet 2 stories or 30 feet Setbacks - Front 10 feet 10 feet N/A - Side N/A o feet - Side (street side) 10 feet 10 feet - Rear N/A o feet Lot Coverage 11% 50% N/A Landscaping 21% 15% N/A Parking - Standard 25 27 N/A - Handicap 2 2 - Total 27 (") 29 Freeway Corridor - Landscape Setback 3 feet("") averaging 25 N/A - Building Setback 45.4 feet("") 50 (")The proposal has a reciprocal parking agreement with Denny's to meet the parking requirements (Attachment I) ("")The applicant has filed a Variance to allow parking and refuse enclosure within the freeway 25-foot landscape setback and building encroachment within the freeway 50-foot setback. e e e Conditional Use Permit No. 02-/0 Variance No. 02-07 October 22. 2002 Page 5 2. Is the proposed use consistent with the General Plan? General Plan GoallB states: "Provide employment opportunities for existing and future residents of the City and those of adjacent communities" General Plan Policy 1.19.10 states: "Permit a diversity of community-serving retail and service uses.. ..in areas designated as Commercial General". The proposed project will provide employment and retail service opportunities for local residents and the surrounding community. The proposal will create \3 jobs for this local area. The project has been designed and conditioned to ensure compatibility with adjacent commercial uses to minimize traffic safety concerns. 3. Is the approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed use in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and Section 19.20.030(6) of the Development Code? Yes, the proposed project complies with the CEQArequirements per gl5102 and the Development Code with the exception of the Variance items. In addition, all grading and construction activities will be implemented and monitored in accordance with the mitigation measures as described in the Initial Study to ensure that the project would not cause any substantial adverse construction impacts. 4. Are there potentially significant negative impacts upon environmental quality and natural resources that could not be properly mitigated and monitored? No, as noted in Finding No.3, this project complies with CEQA and Development Code requirements. An Initial Study was prepared, public comments were received and responded to and a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed for this project. Mitigation measures have been included to mitigate impacts in the areas of Population and Housing, Air Quality, Transportation/Circulation, and Noise issues (Attachment E). All the potential negative impacts are addressed with mitigation measures as specified in Attachment F will reduce the potential impacts to less than significant levels. e e e Conditional Use Permit No. 02- J 0 Variance No. 02-07 October 22. 2002 Page 6 5. Are tlie location. size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use compatible with the existing andjUtureland uses within the general area in which the proposed use is to be located and will it create significant noise, traffic or other conditions or situations that may be objectionable or detrimental to other permitted uses in the vicinity or adverse to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City? Yes, the location and operating characteristics are consistent with all provisions of the Development Code except as noted in No. I above and will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. The proposed project will be compatible with the area and will be a complementary land use to the surrounding retail commercial activities. The proposal is a community-serving retail facility, which will attract people from within the City and the surrounding area. Since the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code, no land use conflict or environmental adverse impacts will result from the construction and operation of the proposed project. The City Traffic Engineer has reviewed the proposal and determined that additional vehicle trips resulting from the proposed project will not cause any significant traffic impact and a traffic study is not required. Furthermore, the proposal has been required to dedicate 6-foot wide strip ofland on Tippecanoe Avenue for future street widening and street improvements on Tippecanoe A venue as well as set aside bond money for those street improvements (Attachment D & E). The project-related noise impacts are not expected to create significant noise levels. This is because the proposed project is located in a commercial area and adjacent to a major noise source 1-10 Freeway Off-ramp. In addition, the potential noise impacts are further addressed through conditions of approval in that the menu speaker boxes shall be maintained at all times so that no menu speaker noises shall be audible beyond the property line to disturb the surrounding commercial businesses. Parking The Development Code Section 19.24.040 requires 29 parking spaces for this project. The proposal provides 27 stalls. The proposed project has a reciprocal parking agreement with Denny's to comply with the parking requirements (Attachment I). The Applicant has also filed for a variance to allow 6 parking stalls within the freeway 25- foot landscape setbacks. Landscaping All landscaping will be permanently maintained with automatic lmgation system. Although the Applicant proposes to reduce the freeway 25-foot landscape setback to an average of 3 feet, the overall proposed on-site landscaping at 21 % still exceed the Development Code requirement. e e e Conditional Use Penn it No. 02-10 Variance No. 02-07 October 22. 2002 Page 7 6. Is the subject site physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use being proposed? Yes, 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 above except for certain landscape setback issues and building setback line for which the applicant has filed for a variance. Based upon the proposal's operational characteristics as described above, the proposed project will be compatible with the existing and future land uses within the general area. The proposal would preserve and enhance the commercial environment for this area. 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? Yes, 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 all applicable Codes will apply to the construction of this project. VARIANCE J. Are there special circumstances applicable to the property. including size. shape. topography. location or surroundings. such that the strict application of this Development Code deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical land use district classification? Variance - A B & C Yes, the proposed site is an existing parcel consists of approximately .61-acre. The parcel was subdivided prior to the adoption of the Freeway Corridor Overlay District in 1991- The parcel was not designed and subdivided to accommodate the Freeway Corridor Overlay District development standard requirements. As a result, the strict application of the FC Overlay District requirements for the freeway 25- foot landscape setback and the freeway 50-foot building setback line would deprive this property of privileges under the identical CG-l land use district. fy Also, the freeway at this location is elevated and that the setback would/rom the off- ramp. The applicant has designed this project such that people traveling the freeway will see trees surrounding the project site (Attachment B). e e e Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 Variance No. 02-07 October 22. 2002 Page 8 2. Is the granting of the Variance necessary for the preservation and erifoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and land use district and denied to the property for which the Variance is sought? Variance - A No, the granting of the variance for parking within the freeway 2S-foot landscape setback is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of property right that possessed by other property in the same vicinity. This is because the Applicant has a reciprocal parking agreement with Denny's to comply with the parking requirements. See Table "B" Parking Survey Analysis. Table "B" Parking Survey Analysis On-site Parking ReQllired Parkin~ Available Parking Denny's: 49 41 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Proposal: - variance Total: 29 -2 :L -8 27 6 (2S- foot landscape) Based on the ALTA land survey dated March 2S, 2002, and staffs field survey on September 10, 2002, Denny's has a surplus of 8 parking stalls. As shown on the site plan and Table "B", the proposal lacks 2 parking stalls. In addition, the applicant is also seeking a variance approval to allow 6 parking stalls within the freeway 2S- foot landscape setback. Ultimately, the proposed project lacks 8 parking stalls. Since the reciprocal parking agreement provides the required 8 stalls, the granting of the variance to allow parking within the 2S-foot landscape setback is not necessary. Variance - B & C Yes, the granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of property right that possessed by other property in the same vicinity. The freeway 2S- foot landscape setback and the freeway SO-foot building setback line. requirements would create unnecessary hardship conditions for the applicant. The FC Overlay District requirements will result in less area for the applicant to build upon. The freeway 2S- foot landscape setback and the freeway SO-foot building setback line requirements combined would eliminate the potential building placement area by up to 8, I 00 square feet. See Table "C" Non-developable Area Analysis below: e e e Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 Variance No. 02-07 October 22. 2002 Page 9 Table "C" Non-developable Area Analysis FC Overlay District Requirements Square feet 25-foot landscape setback area 108 x 25 = 2,700 sq.f.t 50-foot building setback line 108 x 50 = 5,400 sq.ft. ------------------------------------------------------------------------~---------------------- Total: 8~t.I.19 ac. 3. Will granting the Variance be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and land use district in which the property is located? Variance - A Yes, in accordance with the Public Works Division, it is anticipated that the 1-10 Freeway Off-ramp may be expanded and improved at a later date. Although the specific date and actual improvement details have not yet been determined and established, the City Engineer has expressed that any future expansion and improvements of the 1-10 Freeway Off-ramp would likely involve acquiring lands within the freeway 25-foot landscape setback. The fact that the applicant is requesting a variance to maintain the freeway landscape setback at an average of 3 feet, it is conceivable that future property taking for the 1-10 Freeway Off-ramp improvements may involve the proposed parking area. In terms oflong-rang planning, the granting of the variance to allow parking within the 25- foot landscape setback could result in negative financial impacts for the restaurant. Furthermore, the acquisition process could hinder the City's ability to take the necessary lands to facilitate the 1-10 Freeway Off-ramp improvements. Although the refuse area is within the freeway 25-foot landscape setback, its actual location is approximately 20 feet away from the property line. It is anticipated the proposed refuse location would not have any detrimental impacts relating specifically to the 1-10 Freeway Off-ramp future expansion and improvements. Variance - B & C No, if approved, the granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare to the property or improvements in the vicinity in that all on-site construction activities will be in conformance with all applicable City requirements and as such, will not pose any threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of San Bernardino. A condition of approval has been added to require the applicant to increase and provide additional landscaping berms, shrubs, and trees along the freeway 25-foot setback to mitigate and screen the headlights of on-site drive-thru and parked e e e Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 Variance No. 02-07 October 22, 2002 Page 10 vehicles, The proposed project has also been conditioned requiring the applicant to obtain permits from Caltrans if any work is to be done within the State's right of way, 4. Will granting the Variance constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and land use district in which such property is located? Variance - A Yes, the granting of the variance to allow parking within the freeway 25-foot landscape setback would constitute a special privilege, The Applicant has a reciprocal parking arrangement to comply with the parking requirements. The parking within the freeway 25-foot landscape setback is not necessary. Although other properties adjacent to freeway in the City have been granted variances to allow parking within the freeway landscape setback, those properties do not have reciprocal parking arrangement or located within anticipated street/freeway improvements and expansion area, Variance B & C No, the granting ofthe variance to allow refuse enclosure within the freeway 25-foot . landscape setback and building within the freeway 50-foot setback line would not constitute a special privilege, The FC Overlay District requirements encu~ber and limit the maximum potential development of this site. A similar business in size on a similar parcel within the FC Overlay District would be required to apply for a variance. 5, Will granting the Variance allow a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the regulations governing the subject parcel? Variance - A. B & C No, the granting of the variance will not allow a use that is not already permitted by Conditional Use Permit in the CG-l, Commercial General land use district. Fast-food restaurants with drive-thrus are permitted in the CG-I, Commercial General land use district, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit A conditional use permit for the proposal is already required and is part of the current review of this project 6. Will granting the Variance be consistent with the General Plan? Variance - A No, General Plan Policy 6.1.4 states: "Reserve the rights-of-way required for highways designated in the arterial highway and prohibit land uses and development that could preclude the timely acquisition ofthese lands for roadway purposes. e e e Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 Variance No. 02-07 October 22. 2002 Page I I General Plan Policy 5.1.1 states: " Provide improvements along principal streets at the City boundary with adjacent jurisdictions, at major identified intersections and edges which clearly distinguishes these as major entries to the City; such improvements may include elements such as signage, landscape, vertical pylons and/or distinctive treatments" . The proposed project is situated at a major entrY point for the City at the intersection of Interstate 10 and Tippecanoe Avenue. The intent of the freeway 25-foot landscape setback is to provide aesthetic benefits to distinguish major entrY areas to the City as well as the general public traveling the streets. The applicant has submitted findings in support of the variances. The applicant's findings are included herein as Attachment H. Variance B & C Yes, General Plan Policy 1.17.30 states: "Require the development to convey the physical and visual appearance of an integrated urban center; utilizing consistent and complementary architecture design style and building materials, building massing and bulk and siting of structures". General Plan Policy 1.19 states: "Provide for the.. .new development of retail, personal service, entertainment, office and related commercial uses along major transportation corridors and intersections to serve the needs of the residents; reinforcing existing commercial corridors and centers and establishing new locations as new residential growth occurs". The applicant has designed this project such that people traveling the freeway will see trees and vegetation surrounding the project site. The applicant has sited the structure so that it is integrated with the surrounding structures in the area. A condition of approval has also been added requiring the Applicant to screen and cover the refuse enclosure area. The screening method shall be architecturally integrated with the main building in terms of materials and color. CONCLUSION The proposal meets all necessary Findings of Fact for approval of Conditional Use Permit and Variances except for Variance A for parking within the freeway 25- foot landscape setback. e e e Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 Variance No. 02-07 October 22. 2002 Page 12 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission: I. Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Mitigation MonitoringlReporting Program (Attachment F); 2.

POPULATION AND HOUSING b) _v. _ The proposed project will not result in a significant demand for additional housing based on the proposed use and evaluation ofthe project size. It is anticipated that the project will have up to 13 employees. These jobs would not require high specialization that would create a need to import skilled labor from outside the area. Because this project is an infill project within the City. It is assumed that local residents will fill these jobs and no significant influx of people is anticipated to fill these positions. Therefore, the proposed project has no potential to create a significant demand for new housing. Based on this, the project will result in a less than significant demand for additional housing. No mitigation measures are required. c) The proposed project does have the potential to generate odors from construction and operation activities. Since comparable sources of odor (restaurants and traffic vehicle) already exist in the project area, the proposed project will not introduce new types of odors into the project vicinity. Exhaust will be emitted from construction vehicles, primarily during the grading phase, but these are short-term and are not considered significant. Long-term operation of the project will result in generating odors from vehicle and truck exhaust. However, these impacts fall below a significance threshold, therefore, these impacts are considered less than significant. No additional mitigation measures are required. AIR OUALITY a) Dust will be generated during the grading of the site and construction of the restaurant with the drive-thru. The grading & construction activity will comply with the following mitigation measures: . Grading and construction will be performed in accordance with Southern California Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rules 403 & 402 in reducing short-term air pollutant emissions. . Comply with Rule 403 for fugitive dust control measures during grading and construction activities. . Comply with Rule 402 for dust suppression techniques to prevent fugitive dust from creating a nuisance off-site. . The applicant will also be required to comply with the Public Works Division Standard Requirements for grading and dust control. Compliance with SCAQMD Rules 402 & 403 and Public Works Division, standard requirements will ensure that potential erosion of soils will remain less than significant. IS 15 e e f) e VI. CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES . INITIAL STUDY TRANSPORT A TION/CIRCULA TION a) The proposed project is consistent with the Hub Environmental Impact Report (EIR) traffic impact analysis (Analysis) prepared by LSA on January 20, 2001. A copy of the Hub EIR is available at City Hall at the third floor Planning Office. The Analysis studied included but not limited to the following intersections: . Tippecanoe A venue and Hospitality Lane . Tippecanoe A venue and Laurelwood Drive . Tippecanoe A venue and Rosewood Drive . Tippecanoe Avenue and 1-10 Westbound Ramps . Tippecanoe Avenue and 1-10 Eastbound Ramps . Anderson Street and Redlands Boulevard Based upon the Hub EIR Congestion Management Program Traffic Impact Analysis mitigation measures, the proposed project will result in a less than significant increase in traffic volumes on the roadways or intersections. No additional mitigation measures are required. Additionally, the City Traffic Engineer has reviewed the proposal and has determined that the land dedication of 6 feet on Tippecanoe Avenue is adequate, and that additional vehicle trips resulting from the proposed project will not cause any significant impact pursuant to the traffic Hub EIR Traffic Analysis and a traffic study is not required (Attachment B). The project will result in a less than significant increase in safety hazards to vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians. There is a low probability that the proposed project would have any safety impacts either during the construction or operational phase since the majority of the construction will be on-site. During the construction period, safety hazards may occur on Rosewood and Tippecanoe Avenues when improvements are installed (curb cuts, pavement, etc) which could temporarily affect traffic safety. Such hazards can be managed by using appropriate traffic management tools. To mitigate this potential impact, the following measure will be implemented: . For periods when construction activity encroaches onto the surrounding roadways (Rosewood and Tippecanoe Avenues), the developer shall implement a traffic management plan approve by the City that specifies the equipment, manpower and other materials that will be utilized to ensure that potential hazards are minimized and safety of vehicle, pedestrians and bicycles is ensured. IS 16 ex. a, b) e e CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY NOISE The construction of the proposed project will not result in significant noise impacts. The project site is located in a commercial area, with motel, gas station and adjacent a major noise source 1-10 Freeway off ramp. These uses are not considered sensitive receptors, and will not require mitigation. However, in order to ensure that the noise impacts associated with the construction will not impact the more sensitive evening and night time hours, the construction activity shall be limited to daytime hours only and therefore reducing the construction noise to a less than significant level. The applicant shall comply with the following mitigation measures: . All construction activities shall be limited to the hours of 7 am to 7 pm, Monday through Friday. . All construction vehicles shall have mufflers and be maintained in good operating order at all times. No vehicle repair shall be permitted at the project site. . All trucks waiting to be loaded or unloaded with construction material shall not be left to idle for more than 10 minutes. . During construction, best efforts should be made to locate stockpiling and/or vehicle staging areas as far as practicable from existing residential dwellings. . Construct an 8-foot high decorative sound block wall as shown on the site plan. . The speaker boxes shall be maintained so that sound is not audible at the property line.

This program has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State and City of San Bernardino CEQA Guidelines. CEQA Section 21081.6 requires adoption of a monitoring and/or reporting program for those measures or conditions imposed on a project to mitigate or avoid adverse effects on the environment. The law states that the monitoring or reporting program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program contains the following elements: 1. The mitigation measures are recorded with the action and procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The program lists the mitigation measures contained within the Initial Study. 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. 2. 3. 4. The individual measures and accompanying monitoring/reporting actions follow. They are numbered in the same sequence as presented in the Program EIR. e e e MITIGATION MEASURES II.

CUP No. 02-10 & Variance No. 02-07 We have received the request for comment for the above referenced project. This project proposes to construct a 2,903 square foot fast food restaurant with a drive-thru on a 0.61-acre site. The project is located at the northeast comer ofI-l 0 westbound off-ramp and Tippecanoe A venue in the city of San Bernardino. Using the information provided, we are not able to determine the potential impact to the State transportation facility. Given the proximity of the project to 1-10, the proposed site grading and drainage construction may have a direct impact upon the existing freeway slopes and nearby drainage facilities. Prior to issuance of construction permits, please forward copies of site grading and drainage plans when available so that we may determine the extent of project impact to the adjacent State right-of-way.

ARcurrr.Cr "'-1- September 16,2002 City of San Bernardino, Planning ~ivision Aaron Liang 300 North "0" Street San Bernardino, CA 92418 Dear Aaron, Please find our responses to our request for Variance Findings: Responses to Variance Findings, See 19.72.050 1. The property is encumbered by strcet conditions on three of its four sides. As a result of the adjacency to the Interstate 10 Off-Ramp on the South side of the property and the dedication of6' of frontage at Tippecanoe Avenue, the required 25' Landscape Buffer along the South side is to be deemed unnecessary. The portion of the property along the off-ramp is to be treated as a rear property setback, requiring a much smaller parking setback. The reduction of parking setback area along the side property frontage (Tippecanoe Avenue) is necessary to make up for property lost to accommodate the existing center median in the street as well as possible future widening of the street. 2. Other property that is not adjacent a freeway off-ramp is allowed to locate parking closer to the rear property line, resulting in more area to build upon. This parking variance will allow 6 parking stalls and a portion of the drive to extend into the 25' setback area. 3. No other uses will be materially affected by the granting of this variance, there are no uses on the south side of the property other than the Interstate 10 off-ramp, which is itself vehicular traffic. A planted hedgerow and new trees to screen the headlights of on-site parked vehicles will protect the off-ramp traffic from the potential of glaring headlights and will enhance the frontage of the property. The percentage of landscaping provided on the properly substantially exceeds the minimum requirements ofthe local code. 4. Special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity of this property and land use district are not being granted, the encumbrance of the off-ramp, the center median and the third street establish the necessity of the granting of the variance to bring this property back to balance with other development opportunities offered other properties. 5. The use or activity is not influenced or affected by the granting of the parking variance. A Conditional Use Permit for the use is already required and is part of the current review of this project. 6. The General Plan remains in tact and is not modified by the granting of this variance. The parking variance will bring this property to balance with other properties that are not 10jOl SW Birch S"..., Sui/.IOIE. N..p<</ BNCh. California 91660 Phon.

This type of encumbrance significantly reduces the development of this property by the strict application of the parking setbacks on all three sides, therefore the design submitted keeps the parking setback intact on Rosewood Avenue (the only public street entry point) and only slightly modifies the frontage setback along Tippecanoe Avenue, and looks to mitigate the third setback requirement where the type of use affeeted is only vehicular traffic.

This alternative would leave the I -10 Interchange and Tippecanoe A venue as they current exist. Alternative 2 - This alternative provides for the addition of a new West Bound loop on-ramp from Tippecanoe A venue and replacement of the existing West Bound off ramp with a new West Bound off-ramp. In addition, a new East Bound on/off ramp to a realigned Redlands Boulevard and new Evans Street connection will be provided. (See Alternative 2 layout - Attachment E-IA & E-IB.) Alternative 3 - This alternative provides for the addition of a new West Bound loop on-ramp from Tippecanoe Avenue and replacement of the existing West Bound off ramp with a new West Bound off-ramp. There will also be reconfiguration of the East Bound off-ramp at Tippecanoe A venue to provide access to the new Evans Street connection. In addition, a new braided East Bound on-ramp from Waterman Avenue is also proposed. (See Alternative 3 layout - Attachment E-2A & E-2B.) Alternative 4 - This alternative provides addition of an "offset diamond' interchange with all four ramps converging to one point north of existing 1-10. This alternative involves 1-10 mainline realignment, a new mainline bridge at Tippecanoe Avenue and additional mainline bridges for ramps to cross under mainline 1-10. (See Alternative 4 layout - Attachment E-3A & E-3B). In accordance with the City Traffic Engineer, Caltrans has made no decision to select the preferred design alternative. Recently, Caltrans is in the process to formulate an independent Value Analysis Team (V AT) for the purposes to reevaluate and reexamine the four approved alternatives as presented in the PSR. Presently, all alternatives are considered viable since no preferred design alternative has been selected by Caltrans. At the same time, should V AT find the adopted alternatives illustrated in the PSR unfeasible, V AT may recommend its own alternatives altogether. A copy ofthe PSR is available in the Traffic Engineering Division for the public to review. Additionally, based on Alternative 4 above (Attachment E-3B), it is anticipated that the 1-10 Freeway Off-ramp could be expanded and improved at a later date. In terms of long-range planning, the granting of the variance to allow parking within the 25-foot landscape setback could directly result in negative financial impacts for the restaurant. Furthermore, the acquisition process could hinder the City's ability to take the necessary lands to facilitate the 1-10 Freeway Off-ramp improvements. Also, since vehicular access would be restricted for "right in fright out" Appeal No. 02-07 December 16, 2002 on Tippecanoe & Rosewood Avenues, vehicular traffic flow to the site would be extremely limited. -1-IO-KI'40.7/43.9 (PM 25.3127.2) EA 448lOK AUGUST, 2002 PROJECT STUDY REPORT (Project Development Support) Exhibit 6 This document can be used to program only the Engineering and Environmental Support for Projcct Approval and Environmental Document component.

Exhibit 7 REVISED FINDINGS OF FACT - VARIANCE NO. 02-07 I Are there special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, such that the strict application ofthis Development code deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical land use district classification? Yes, the site consists of an existing lot of record that has a trapezoid shape which makes it an irregularly shaped parcel ofland. Most existing lots ofrecord are either square or rectangular in shape, making it easier to comply with Development Code requirements. In addition, the freeway is elevated at this location and the additional Freeway Corridor Overlay setbacks for both the building and landscaping would not be noticeable to freeway travelers. 2. Is the granting of the Variance necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and land use district and denied to the property for which the Variance is sought? Yes, granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity. The freeway 25-foot landscape setback and the freeway 50-foot building setback line requirements would create unnecessary hardship conditions for the applicant. The Freeway Corridor Overlay District requirements will result in less area for the applicant to build upon. 3. Will granting the Variance be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and land use district in which the property is located? No, granting the Variance would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare to the property or improvements in the vicinity in that all on-site construction activities will be in conformance with all applicable City requirements. A condition of approval requires the applicant to provide additional landscaping along the freeway side to mitigate and screen the headlights of on-site drive-thru traffic. The applicant must also obtain permits from Caltrans for any work conducted in or on the State's right-of-way. 4. Will granting the Variance constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and land use district in which such property is located? No, granting the variance would not constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and land use district. Other commercially designated properties in the Freeway Corridor Overlay District that have irregular shaped parcels would be able to apply for a Variance under similar conditions. r Appeal No. 02-07 December 16, 2002 5. Will granting the Variance allow a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the regulations governing the subject parcel? No, granting the Variance will not allow a use that is not otherwise permitted in the CG- I, Commercial General land use district. Fast food restaurants with drive-thrus are permitted in the CG-I, Commercial General land use district, subject to approval ofa Conditional Use Permit. A Conditional Use Permit is under consideration with this Variance request. 6. Will granting the Variance be consistent with the General Plan? Yes, General Plan Objective 1.19 states: "Provide for the... new development of retail, personal service, entertainment, office and related commercial uses along major transportation corridors and intersections to serve the needs of the residents; reinforcing existing commercial corridors and centers and establishing new locations as new residential growth occurs." The applicant believes that a fast food drive-thru restaurant at this location will serve the needs of the residents and the traveling public. The applicant has sited the structure so that it is integrated with the surrounding commercial businesses in the area.

OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO TO: JAME!S F. PE!NMAN Mayor Judith Valles and Council Members CITY ATTORNCY FROM: Henry Empeiio, Jr., Senior Deputy City Attorney #f:.- December II, 2002 DATE: RE: Agenda Item No. 29, December 16, 2002 Council Meeting Appeal of Planning Commission Determination - Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 and Variance No. 02-07. Proposed Wendy's Restaurant at the Southeast Corner of Rosewood and Tippecanoe Avenues. \Ve advise the Mayor and Common Council that if the Council wishes to approve the CUP and Variance, that Motion No.2 on the Agenda should be adopted as follows: "That the hearing be closed; and that the Mayor and Common Council grant the appeal and approve Conditional Use Permit No. 02-10 and Variance No. 02-07, based on the Revised Findings of Fact (Exhibit 7) and subject to the Conditions of Approval and Standard Requirements (Exhibit 3, Attachments C and D)." San Bernardino Nlunicipal Code (Development Code) Chapter 19.72 regulates the granting of V ariances. Section 19.72.0 I O( I) states that: "Variances from the terms ofthis Development Code shall be granted only when, because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of this Development Code deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical land use districts." This same requirement is repeated in Section 19.72.050 as one of the six Findings which must be made in order to grant any Variance. This ordinance is also virtually identical to state law in Government Code Section 65906, which regulates when Variances from zoning ordinances may be granted by general law cities. The developer has applied for three Variances: 1. Allow parking within the freeway 25 foot landscape setback; 2. Allow a refuse enclosure within the freeway 25 foot landscape setback; and 3. Allow a portion of the building (freezer unit) within the freeway 50 foot building setback. HE/cj[MayorVS.m,m] 4'A~ '. ~ 1'7'k/t7,L 300 NORTH "0" STREET. SAN BERNARDINO, CA 92418-000 1 .

Memo to Mayor Judith Valles & Council Members December ] ], 2002 Page 2 The Planning Commission granted the second and third requests, but denied the Variancerequestina that parking be allowed within the freeway 25 foot landscape setback. The developer's appeal ofth~ Planning Commission's decision places all three Variances and the project approval (CuP) before the Mayor and Common Council for a de novo decision At the Planning Commission meeting, we advised the Commission that they Could not make the factual findings to support any of the three Variances. The Planning Division's justification, that this parcel was subdivided prior to the City's adoption of the freeway setback requirements in 1991, was not a special circumstance applicable only to this property, but applied to almost all parcels in the City located within the Freeway Corridor Overlay District. The shape of the subject parcel was not considered at the Planning Commission meeting. After reviewing the facts further with Planning Division staff, we advise the Mayor and Common Council that the trapezoidal shape (a quadrilateral figure with two parallel sides) of the parcel is a special circumstance applicable to this property Upon which the Findings can be made to support the granting of all three Variances. This trapezoidal shape makes this an irregularly shaped parcel of land where most lots in this vicinity are either square or rectangular in shape. Planning Division Staffhas informed us that the majority of the existing parcels in the City are either square or rectangular in shape. The unusual shape of a parcel of land has been considered as the special circumstance supporting the granting of a Variance by the Planning Commission on only a few occasIOns. There exists other facts which in equity support granting the three Variances. Although the developer proposes to reduce the freeway 25 foot landscape setback to an average of three feet, the developer's plans show total on-site landscaping at 21 % of the parcel, which far exceeds the Development Code requirement of 15%. In addition to the landscaping in the freeway setback area provided by the developer on this parcel, Caltrans has landscaped a ten foot wide strip between the subject parcel and the freeway off-ramp to the south. Also, the freeway at this location is elevated and the setback would be from the off-ramp. The developer has designed this project such that people traveling westbound on Interstate lO will see trees surrounding the project site. cc: James F.
