CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION. STAFF REPORT SUBJECT: TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 14712 AND DEVELOPMENT PERMIT (TYPE III) NO. 94-19 REQUEST/LOCATION: To subdivide parcels 6 and 7, and a portion of parcels "A" and "B", of Parcel Map No. 13910 to provide a .81 acre parcel for a 25,000 square foot Bally's Holiday Spa Health Club located on the north side of Hospitality Lane between the eastern and western termini of Carnegie Drive in the CR-3, Commercial Regional, Tri-City/Club land use designation. KEY ISSUES: The key issues are as follows: o On July 6, 1993 the Mayor and Common Council adopted the Tri-City Land Use Plan and Design Guidelines through Development Agreement No. 92-01. This land use plan regulates land use, phasing of development, landscaping, etc. o Since the request will both increase the number of buildings, and the number of lots, as identified in the land use plan the Mayor and Common Council are the review authority as identified in Sections 12.4.2 and 12.4.3 of the Tri-City Land Use Plan and Design Guidelines. o The creation of a new lot will change the number of lots proposed for the Tri-City area and also delete a portion of a proposed parking garage as identified in the land use plan. However, sufficient parking is to be included in the development of this site. o The Tentative Parcel Map will create a .81 acre parcel while the Development Permit ensures that the development of a 25,000 square foot Bally's Holiday Spa Health Club meets the standards established by the Tri-City Land Use Plan and Design Guidelines. Please see the analysis and attachments contained in Exhibit 2, Staff Report to the Planning Commission. ENVffiONMENTAL: An Initial Study was prepared for Development Permit (Type II) No. 94-19, by Staff, and was presented to the Development and Environmental Review Committee (D/ERC) on November 3, 1994 (see Attachment I of the Staff Report).

LOCATION The site is a rectangularly shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately .81 acres located on the northern side of Hospitality Lane between the eastern and western termini of Carnegie Drive in the CR-3, Commercial Regional Tri-City Club land use designation. (see Attachment A, Location Map). BACKGROUND On July 6, 1993 the Mayor and Common Council adopted the Tri-City Land Use Plan and Design Guidelines through Development Agreement No. 92-01. The purpose of this document was to formalize existing standards that had been used for development on various Tri-City sites. The Land Use Plan and Design Guidelines regulate land use, phasing of development, landscaping and etc. By creating and conforming to this plan the applicant can be assured of a unified, quality development. Through adoption of the Development Agreement, Land Use Plan and the Design Guidelines the Mayor and Common Council determined that Development Agreement No. 92-01 was consistent with the General Plan and Development Code. The Land Use Plan also has an associated map. The map identifies building locations, sizes, parking areas, general uses, etc. The Development Agreement portion of this document identifies methods for making changes to this plan. Sections 12.4.2 and 12.4.3, of the Tri-City Land Use Plan and Design Guidelines, require review by the Planning Commission and the Mayor and Common Council when changes in the number of buildings or lots are proposed. DEVELOPMENT CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE Tentative Parcel Map No. 14712 Tentative Parcel Map No. 14712 is subject to Chapter 19.30 of the City of San Bernardino Development Code. Tentative Parcel Map No. 14712 has been reviewed and found to be consistent with the provisions of the Development Code and in conformance with the General Plan. (Attachment E, Conformance Table). II II' . . PM 14712 &. DPII 94-19 AGENDA ITEM: 1 HEARING DATE: 1/24/95 Page 2 Development Permit (l'ype Il) No. 94-19 Development Permit (Type II) NO. 94-19 is subject to the Tri-City Land Use Plan and Design Guidelines. The Tri-City Land Use Plan allows for a variety of uses ranging from commercial uses to administrative and professional offices. Health clubs are included as a permitted use in the CR-3, Commercial Regional, Tri-City Club land use district. The proposed health club meets all of the development standards (height, setbacks, etc.) as identified in the Tri-City Land Use Plan (see Attachment E, Conformance Table). CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT STATUS An Initial Study was prepared for Development Permit (Type II) No. 94-19, by Staff, and was presented to the Development and Environmental Review Committee (D/ERC) on November 3, 1994 (see Attachment I, Initial Study). The ERC determined that the project would not have an adverse impact upon the environment, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration was recommended that included mitigation measures as identified in the Tri-City Land Use Environmental Impact Report. The proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was available for public review from November 10, 1994 to November 30, 1994. No comments were received during the public review period. Tentative Parcel Map No. 14712 is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental QualIty Act (Class 15 Exemption). ANALYSIS Proposal The objective of the proposed subdivision is to create a commercial parcel, of approximately .81 acres to house a 25,000 square foot health spa. The proposed building has been reviewed by the Development Review Committee and the proposed development meets the Tri-City Land Use Plan and Development Code requirements, with respect to area, access, setbacks, etc. (see Attachment C, Site Plan). The DRC recommended approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 14712 and Development Permit (Type IO No. 94-19 . Site and Area Characteristics The site is relatively flat and is bordered by other commercial lots along Hospitality Lane. Surrounding land uses include offices directly to the east and southwest, and vacant land that has been identified for future office development. Access All lots created by Parcel Map No 14712. will have direct access to a public street. The new - I II 11' . . PM 14712 & DPII 94-19 AGENDA ITEM: 1 HEARING DATE: 1/24/95 Page 3 parcel will take its access from Hospitality Lane. Therefore, the design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. Tri-City Land Use Plan Originally, the Tri-City Land Use Plan map identified the proposed site to house a portion of a parking structure and a movie theater. This application would further split the lots, increasing the number of lots in the Land Use Plan, and creating a new building not identified in the current Land Use Plan. The Tri-City Land Use Plan text states that the Planning Commission shall be the decision making body when a request for an increase or decrease in the number of lots, or buildings has been initiated. COMMENTS RECEIVED No comments have been received regarding this project as of the writing of this staff report. CONCLUSION Tentative Parcel Map No. 14712 and Development Permit (Type II) No. 94-19 conform to the General Plan and standards as set forth in the Development Code. There is a proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration. I I II r . .

Mandatory Findings of Significance (Section 15065) The California Environmental Quality Act states that if any of the following can be answered yes or maybe, the project may have a significant effect on the environment and an Environmental Impact Report shall be prepared. Based on this Initial Study: a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? Yes No Maybe _x_ b. Does the project have the to the disadvantage of long- term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) _x_ . c. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? . Yes -r- 1 FIll DPlI 94-19 I.S.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION AND MITIGATION MEASURES (The following responses are numbered to correspond 10 checklist items in the previous section) 1. Earth Resources -' c. The subject property is located within the Alquist Priolo Special Studies Zone as defined in Section 12.0, Figure 47, of the City's General Plan. An EIR was prepared for the "Tri-City" Redevelopment project which evaluated the potential constraints to development associated with geologic structures on-site and in the project area. The potential constraints evaluated were liquefaction, seismic shaking, subsidence, compressible surficial soils, and artisan spring development. The EIR concluded that no significant adverse impacts should occur provided that mitigation measures identified in that document were implemented. Secondly, the subject property is identified as lying in close proximity to the Lorna Linda Fault. However, in 1976, the Special Studies Zone designation for the site was removed by the State and the Lorna Linda fault is presently not considered active. Some State Division of Mines and Geology publications have not been updated and do, however, still designate the fault as active. Based on the above mentioned information, it is judged that the EIR for the Tri-City Redevelopment Project adequately evaluates seismic constraints associated with building on the site. The mitigations measures identified in that document remain valid for this project. g. The subject property is located within an area of potential ground subsidence as identified in Section 12, Figure 53 of the General Plan. Ground subsidence is a phenomenon that occurs when there are changes in historical groundwater levels. and a results in a "sinking" of the ground as the soil settles. MITIGATION I. A soils investigation shall be conducted to determine the presence and degree of subsidence on the subject property. A soils report containing findings and providing recommendations to ensure proper soil compaction and stability shall be submitted to the Department of Public Works at the time of grading plan check submittal. The grading plans shall comply with the recommendations of the report as required by the Department of Public Works. h. The subject property is located within an area of high liquefaction, as identified in Section 12, Figure 48 of the General Plan. However, the EIR prepared for the Redevelopment Project identified the potential of liquefaction occurring on-site. The EIR provide mitigation measures which, if implemented, would reduce the potential impacts to a level of insignificance. These measures are provided in Appendix "E" of the EIR and are as follows: II II, " . . DPlI 94-19 l.S. October 25. 1994 Page 15 . . MITIGATION n. Potential liquefaction impacts shall be mitigated below a level of insignificance by either dewatering the site (groundwater), preconsolidating the underlying soils, or mechanically compacting those soils susceptible to liquefaction. The appropriate method shall be determined on a site-by-site basis. The City shall require site specific geotechnical evaluations of each construction site prior to issuing building permits. These evaluations shall address the potential for liquefaction or other seismic hazards to occur and identify the appropriate measures to mitigate potential impacts below a level of significance. These measures must be reviewed and approved by the City Geologist, Based on the above mentioned information, it is judged that the EIR for the Tri-City Redevelopment Project adequately evaluates the potential for liquefaction on this site. The mitigation measures identified in that document remain valid for this project. 14. Mandatory Findings of Significance a-d. The responses to the checklist questions above indicate the proposed 25,000 square foot commercial building will not result in any significant impacts that cannot be mitigated to levels of insignificance. The project does not contribute to ant cumulative impacts beyond the levels contemplated by the Certified Environmental Impact Report for the City's General Plan, adopted on June 2, 1989. . lZl > t'" t'" -<"" . :II tn_ . =" - 0"" t"'o( r;- e= " i3 > 0 1-<: .. tn :II a." ~ i> ~ =" 1lIl'" >2: t"''''' o.,Jl"l =:11 CO) t"" c: lZl i- ,r Ti' . . d IE' -I ui fl' 'I .E ~ cli I' :i 1111 IJ;J F'II.~ 1;0&, -I 15 I~I .
