Leland Norton Way, Suite #1 San Bernardino, CA 92408 BACKGROUND Former Norton Air Force Base and the surrounding Alliance California Specific Plan area have been under the purview of the San Bernardino International Airport Authority (SBIAA) and the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA) since 1994. The IVDA and SBIAA have been successful in attracting reputable, quality businesses to the area and the IVDA improved Tippecanoe Avenue between 3rd Street and Mill Street and opened it up to public use. However, because of the configuration of the former base and the layout of the runway, many sites within the boundaries of the Airport and specific plan area are not readily visible or accessible. The IVDA/SBIAA are requesting an amendment to the Development Code to allow a program of off-site business identification and directional signage within the Alliance California Specific Plan and the Airport areas. The signage would be limited to identification of businesses located in either area. At its meeting on May 22, 2007, the Planning Commission recommended approval of Development Code Amendment No. 07-02. Commissioners Dailey, Mulvihill, Munoz, Rawls, and Sauerbrun voted in support of the motion and Commissioners Coute, Durr, Hawkins, Heasley, and Longville were absent. FINANCIAL IMPACT None. The applicant paid the filing fees for the Development Code Amendment. RECOMMENDATION That the hearing be closed and said ordinance be laid over for final adoption.
