CIT~ OF SAN BBR,QRDINO - ReQUeST ~R COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subject: Development Permit Timing Resolution for .the
Verdemont Area.
Mayor and Council Meeting of March 13, 1989
On February 6, 1989, the Mayor and Common Council ~dopted
financing strategies for certain public improvements 1n the
Verdemont Area bounded by Little League Drive on the west,
the alignment of Cable Canyon Creek on the south, Devil's
Canyon on the east and the National Forest boundary on the
north. In that February 6, 1989 supporting staff report, it
was indicated that a resolution concerning the time of
development permit issuance would be presented for Council
consideration.
The reason for the adoption of this resolution is the timely
protection of public health and welfare. The Bailey .Creek
and Chestnut Avenue storm drain improvements are needed to be
constructed in the Verdemont Area for full protection of the
public prior to any additional development in the affected
Verdemont drainages. The attached policies concerning
implementation timing of these improvements and development
permits reflect this requirement. Interim protection
measures are allowed if those measures are reviewed, approved
and constructed prior to the issuance of permits.
In addition, policies have been formulated concerning the
requirements for development of the Chestnut Avenue storm
drain easement, street improvements, and participation in the
assessment district for the construction of the Palm Avenue
Box Culvert at Cable Creek and the traffic signal at Palm
Avenue and Kendall Drive.
It is recommended that the resolution (Attachment C) concern-
ing the policies outlined in Attachment D be adopted.

STAFF REPORT
on June 20, 1988, the Mayor and Co.aon Council took an action
directiftCJ the developaent of a financiftC1 plan for the con-
struction of certain public !aproveaenu in the _ Verdaont
Area bounded by Little League Drive on the vut, the align-
JIeIlt of Cable Canyon Creek on the south, Devil's canyon on
the ea.t and the National Pore.t boundary on the north. The
illprovement. included in the Council action are a. foll0V8:
1. Palm Avenue Box CUlvert.
2. Bailey canyon stora Drain and Debri. Basin.
3. Chestnut Avenue Stora Drain and Debris Basin.
4. Traffic siqnal at Palm Avenue and Kendall Drive.
5. Installation of curbs and gutter., along vith full vidth
street improvements at the followiftC1 locatione:
a) Palm Avenue - from Kendall Drive to Ohio street.
b) Irvington Avenue - from Chestnut Avenue to Pine Avenue.
c) Belmont street - from Chestnut Avenue to Pine Avenue.
d) Pine Avenue - from Belmont Avenue to Ohio street.
A time frame ot six (6) months va. given for the development
and adoption of .aid financing plan.
Di.au..ion
OVer the la.t five and one-half IDOnths the va.t ..jority ot
staff work, .eetings and analy.i. ha. centered around the
Chestnut Avenue .tora drain and debris basin, the Bailey
creek stora drain and debris basin and the conetruction of
the WNew Pine Avenue- exten.ion. Early on in the process, a
staff consensus wa. developed relative to the Palm Avenue box
culvert, the various .treet. improve..nt. and the traffic
siqnal at Palm Avenue and Kendall Drive. The probl...,
however, a..ociated with the two .tora drain. and the -New
Pine- extension vere more intractable in nature and revolved
around identification of up-front funding tor the Chestnut
Avenue stora drain, the acquisition of private property by
the state Department of Water Resources, the owner of which
was slated to put in much of the Bailey Creek stora drain,
and- the litigation involving the Shadow Hills limited
partnership which affects the -Nev Pine- extension.
With respect to the Chestnut stora drain, initially the most
.ftective and popular proposed solution was an intertund
transfer between the Sewer Line Construction Fund and the
stora Drain Master Plan Fund. The sewer fund contains

-------------------------------------------------------------
This memo was prepared to clarify the design of the Chestnut
Right-of-Way storm drain. The Verdemont Area Plan designates
Chestnut Avenue for potential use as both a recreational and
a flood control corridor (Attachment A). This plan was
adopted in 1986. In the discussion of potential hazards, the
Verdemont Area Plan provides for the installation of storm
drains to mitigate the danger of flooding in accordance with
the San Bernardino County Flood Control District's (SBCFCD)
Comprehensive storm Drain Master Plan, No.7 (Attachment B).
In the Flood Control District's plan, Project 7E13 provides
for an underground storm drain to be laid in the Chestnut
right-of-way. The storm drain plan was prepared in 1982.
Based on the hydrology studies prepared at that time, the
pipe was required to be 69" in diameter for the northern
2,700 feet. A 72" pipe was required for the center 1,400
feet and an 81" pipe for the southern 800 feet. This 4,900
foot storm drain would be required to run from a debris basin
in the foothills to Cable Creek to the south (Attachment C).
The Verdemont Area Plan states that the mitigation must be
installed with development. It further states that assess-
ment districts may be necessary to finance the costly storm
drains and debris basin (Attachment D).
Figure 60f the Verdemont Area Plan shows the Chestnut right-
of-way designated as an equestrian/hiking trail (Attachment
El. The trails are to be provided as easements and developed
by the property owner/developer as the property develops. The
Chestnut trail would be a regional trail 12 feet wide. A six
foot easement would be required from each of the
properties abutting the vacated right-of-way.
.

Development of the tract consists of grading and landscaping,
stabilization of any slopes, construction of barriers for
motorized vehicles and signage. The Verdemont Area Plan
requires that potential buyers be informed of these require-
ments with Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions prior to
purchase. The property owners would also be responsible for
the maintenance of the trail (Attachment Fl.
The recently approved tracts abutting the Chestnut .right-of-
way were approved subject to the vacation of the 60 foot
right-of-way. The tracts were conditioned to participate in
the trail development and to comply with all requirements of
the Verdemont Area Plan.

Improvements to existing streets and construction of new
streets will be done in accordance with City standards with
the exception of freeways which meet Caltrans standards.
special consideration was also given to the following:
Chestnut Avenue:
Avenue
~
Meyers Road:
Meyers Road, west of Little League Drive is, in effect, a
cul-de sac approximately 1.5 miles in length. This creates
an extremely dangerous condition in that residents do not
have a secondary means of access nor an emergency evacuation
route. Conditions are further endangered by the fact that
Meyers Road lies entirely within the High Fire Hazard Zone
and does not have adequate fire flow facilities beyond the
boundaries of the subdivision at Meyers Creek (Tract 11118)
For this reason, the Plan provides for the extension of
Meyers Road to connect with Cable Canyon Road. Details are
given in the Final Environmental Impact Report.
Frontage Road:
When originally designed and built by Caltrans, Frontage Road
was intended to only serve a single residence. The Plan now
provides for this street to connect between Little league
Drive and Cable canyon Road. The existing right-of-way is
not sufficient for a collector street and additional right-
of-way is necessary to provide both paved surface and the
parkways. An additional 10 feet of landscaped parkway is
needed adjacent to the freeway to provide a buffer.

Fire Hazardl
The foothills in Verdemont are covered with chaparral which
grows during the spring and early summer and then dries out
in late summer and fall. The dry vegetation presents a fire
hazard especially during Santa Ana wind conditions. The
resulting fires destroy homes, as well as ground cover.
Without vegetation, the ground is more susceptible to erosion
and landslides when the rains begin in winter. Such was the
case with the Panorama fire in 1980 which destroyed over 300
homes and left many more acres in the foothills bare. The
City has established a High Fire Hazard Zone as shown on
Figure 8. Structures in this zone have more stringent
development standards to reduce the threat of fire damage.
The Fnn~hil1 Cnmmuni~i~s Prn~pc~ivp 'GrPAnb~lf' prn;ram was
prepared as a joint effort by several fire control agencies
after the Panorama fire. This program, adopted in 1986,
establishes a wildfire protection Overlay Zone with three
subzones of increasing hazard and appropriate development
standards. Figure 9 shows the boundaries of the Foothill
Fire Zones and Section V contains the development standards
included in the study and adopted by the City.
Flood Hazard:
Flooding is one of the most widespread and potentially
devastating of all natural hazards affecting Verdemont
because so much of the area is subject to inundation. Devil
Canyon and Cable Creek are the two major flood hazard areas.
Both are under the management of the San Bernardino County
Flood Control District and contain large spreading grounds.
All flood control areas are designated as Open Space on the
Land Use Map (Figure 2) as well as on the Open Space Map
(Figure 13). In order to reduce or eliminate the risk from
flood hazards to new and existin develo ment 1n Verdemont,
t e P an prOV1 es or nsta atlon 0 storm ra ns an other
facilities identified in the County's Comprehensive Storm
Drain Master Plan No.7 (Figure 10).

Joint-use agreements between the City Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department and other agencies, such as the
San Bernardino City Unified School District, have worked
successfully in other areas of the City and are recommended
for Verdemont. School buildings can be used for community
meetings and playgrounds can be used by neighborhood children
when such" use does not conflict with normal school
activities.
Glen Helen Regional Park is located west of the Verdemont
area and is accessible from Devore Road. The Park is
approximately 2000 acres in size and contains the Glen Belen
Bowl, a large outdoor amphitheater, a fishing lake, camping
and hiking and equestrian trails. Glen Belen Park is planned
to include facilities such as cycle parks, an international
auto raceway and a rifle/skeet range.
Utilities:
Utility distribution lines for sewer, water, gas,
electricity, telephone and cable television are available in
limited areas in Verdemont at present but are built or
extended as development occurs. It will" remain the
responsibility of developers to provide these facilities at
the time of development. In this manner, the cost of
providing additional service will be borne by new residents
requiring such service.
Flood Control Facilities:
Several large flood control facilities are found in the
Verdemont area. Devil Canyon and Cable Creek are the major
flood hazard areas and are under the management of the San
Bernardino County Flood Control District. The District's
Comprehensive Storm Drain Plan No. 7 outlines types of
improvements necessary and the priority for completion
although very few storm improvements have been constructed to
date. Figure 10 shows the Storm Drain Plan as it applies to
Verdemont.
