CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
subject:
Development Code Amendment No. 93-15
Conditional Use Permit No. 93-01 (Reconsideration)
Mayor and Common council Meeting of October 17, 1994
BACKGROUND
At the October 3, 1994 meeting of the Mayor and Common Council,
staff was questioned as to why the proposed ordinance contained
specific provisions pertaining to the upgrade of nonconforming ABC
licenses at existing .convenience stores. The proposed ordinance
reflected the motion of the Mayor and Common Council on December 6,
1993. (A copy of the minutes of that meeting are attached.) The
motion was based on the memo prepared by Henry Empeno (Exhibit 5 of
the staff report dated September 8, 1994).
c
The Council also had questions related to similar situations in
other areas of the city designated CN. staff previously researched
all of the CN locations in the City. There are 11 existing
convenience stores in the 8 areas designated CN. Seven of the
convenience stores are adjacent to another jurisdiction
(unincorporated or City of Highland). Five already sell liquor;
one sells beer and wine, and one has neither. However, neither of
the latter two fit all of the criteria proposed in the ordinance.
The revised language provides more flexibility to the Mayor and
Common council, without "opening the door" for numerous, similar
requests. The proposed code amendment was re-noticed for a public
hearing on October 17, 1994.
Refer to the packet dated September 8, 1994 for the remaining back-
up materials.
KEY POINTS
Revised language has been incorporated into the proposed ordinance
pertaining to ABC license upgrades under certain conditions.
Approval of the revised ordinance would enable the Mayor and Common
Council to consider approval of CUP No. 93-01.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
c
If the Council wishes to approve the expansion of the ABC license
to include the sale of liquor, staff recommends that the Mayor and
Common Council adopt the Negative Declaration, approve the revised
ordinance (attached), and approve Conditional Use Permit No. 93-01,
based on the Findings of Fact and subject to the Conditions of
Approval contained in the September 8, 1994 staff report.

In a memorandum dated December 2, 1993, Deputy City Attorney
Empeno stated that on September 20, 1993, the Mayor and Council
denied the appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of
Conditional Use Permit No. 93-01 which sought to upgrade an
Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license to sell liquor at an
existing convenience market. The conditional use permit
application did not meet the distance requirements in the
Development Code which among other conditions, prohibits
businesses requiring issuance of an off-site ABC license from

being located within 100 feet of any property designated for
residential use or used for residential purposes. The subject
market is located next door to an existing single-family
residence. Although the subject market currently sells beer and
wine as an existing legal nonconforming use, any expansion of
this use must conform to the Development Code. Thus, the
Development Code distance requirements must be amended in order
for the subject conditional use permit to be approved. The
"fairness" of this rule has been questioned given that just
across the street from the subject market is a similar use within
another City which is permitted to sell liquor.
Staff believes that a Development Code Amendment may be
initiated which would allow approval of conditional Use Permit
No. 93-01. Such a Development Code Amendment would allow
approval of Cond~tional Use Permit No. 93-01, although the site
is within 100 feet of residential property, providing that three
additional conditions are met: the application is for the
expansion of an existing legal nonconforming use; the site is
within 100 feet of an existing business with the same use located
outside the City; and the applicant submits a written stat..ent
of non-opposition to the application for the conditional u.e
permit which is signed by all property owners, and tenan~s of
parcels, within a radius of 100 feet. -

It was the consensus of the Council that It.. N~. 4Q.apd 41

INTEROFFICE MEMORAND~
TO:
Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM:
Henry Empe~o Jr., Deputy City Attorney
December 2, 1993
DATE:
RE:
December 6, 1993 Council Meeting Agenda Items No. 40 & 41
40. Reconsider Initiation of Development Code
Amendment Regarding Off-Site ABC License Requirements
41. Reconsider Appeal of Planning Co..ission's Denial
of Conditional Use Permit No. 93-01, Convenience
Market at ~84 South Rancho Avenue.
This memorandum is in response to issues raised at the October 4,
1993 Council Meeting regarding the above-referenced items which
were later continued to the December 6, 1993 Council Meeting.
On September 20, 1993, the Council voted to deny the appeal and
deny Conditional Use Permit No. 93-01, which sought to upgrade an
ABC license to sell liquor at an existing convenience market. The
Council denied the CUP primarily because the application did not
comply with the distance requirements in the Developmen~ COde at
Section 19.06.030(2)(B), which, among other conditions, prohibit.
businesses requiring issuance of an off-site ABC license frclll being
located within 100 fee~ of any property designated for residential
use or used for residential purposes. The subj.c~ marke~ is
located next door to an existing single family residence. Although
the subject market currently sells beer and wine a. an exi.~ing
legal nonconforming use, any expansion of this use, i.e. adding the
sale of liquor, must conform to the provisions of ~he Development
Code, pursuant to Section 19.62.030(3). Thus the ordinance in ~
Development Code stating these distance requirement. mu.~ be
previously or concurrently amended in order for the subject CUP ~o
be validly approved by the Council. As pointed out a~ the previous
Council meetings, the "fairness" of this rule has been que.~ioned
given that just across the street from the subjec~ market i8 a
similar use within the City of Colton which i8 permit~ed ~o .e11
liquor.
After the October 4, 1993 Council Meeting, our office me~ with the
property owner and the applicant of the subject CUP and have also
held several meetings with Planning Department staff. We believe
a Development Code Amendment may be initiated by the Council which
would allow approval of the subject CUP and a~ the same ~ime
decrease the risk of a successful legal challenge to the amendment
and to the approval of the CUP.
Such a Development Code
19.06.030(2)(B) by allowing
al though the site is wi thin
Amendment would amend Section
approval of the CUP application

providing that three additional conditions are met:
1. The application is for the expansion of an existing
legal nonconforming use.
2. The site is within 100 feet of an existing business
establishment with the same use which is located
outside the City of San Bernardino.
3. The app1ic~nt submits a written statement of non-
opposition to the application for the CUP which is
signed by all property owners and tenants of parcels
within a radius of 100 feet.
c
The above conditions would minimize the opportunity for applying
this Development Code Amendment to other areas of the City but
would not be "spot zoning" because other similarly situated
property would be affected in the same manner as the subject site.
The written statement of non-opposition decreases the risk of
challenges to the City's actions. And in this particular ca.e, the
property owner and the applicant, Ali Yasin and Eddy Robbin, have
informed us that they already have a petition signed by all of
their neighbors supporting their application.
If the Mayor and Council choose this option, the following actions
should be taken:
1. Agenda Itgm No. 40: Adopt a motion to initiate a
Development Code Amendment regarding off-.ite ABC license
requirements as outlined in this memorandua, with the
necessary fees to be paid by the applicant (Mr. Robbin
offered to pay the Development Code Amendment fee. at the
October 4, 1993 Council Meeting).
2. Agenda Item NO. 41: Adopt a motion to approve the
reconsideration and to notice a publiC hearing for CUP
No. 93-01 concurrently with the Council's hearing on the
Development COde Amendment.

FINDINGS OF FACT
Conditional Use Permit No. 93-01
1. The proposed use is conditionally permitted within the CN,
Commercial Neighborhood land use district, and would not
impair the integrity and character of the subject zoning
district and complies with all of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code in that the upgrade of the ABC license to
liquor sales meets the requirements of Development Code
Section 19.06.0~G(2)(B);
2. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan in that
alcohol sales is permitted in the CN, Commercial Neighborhood
land use designation as indicated in paragraph 1 above and'
does not cause oversaturation of similar uses in the city of
San Bernardino;
3.
The approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed
use is in compliance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and Section 19.20.030(6) of the
Development Code in that the use is categorically ex..pt from
the CEQA (Class 1);
4. There will be no potential significant negative impacts upon
environmental quality and natural resources that could not be
properly mitigated and monitored as there will be no expansion
of the property on the site nor no significant increase in
intensity of the use;
c
5. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of
the proposed use are compatible with the existing and future
land uses within the general area in which the proposed use is
located and will not 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 as the proposal is to expand the sales of
alcohol to include liquor only;
6. The subject site is physically suitable for the type of use
being proposed as the liquor sales will utilize an existing
facility; and
7.
There are adequate provisions already established at the
convenience 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.

CITY OF SAR BBRKlRDINO - REQUEST PaR COUNCIL ACTION
STAPP REPORT
Subject: Development Code Amendment No. 93-15;
Conditional Use Permit No. 93-01 - Reconsideration.
Mayor and Common Council Meeting of september 19, 1994
IlBQUBST AND LOCATION
To amend Development Code Section No. 19.06.030 (2)(B), to permit
a legally existing nonconforming convenience store in the CN,
Commercial Neighborhood, land use district to be able to upgrade
from beer and wine to liquor sales, provided certain conditions are
met. This will potentially affect six CN locations in the City.
Additionally, the Mayor and Common Council will reconsider the
previous denial of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 93-01 which is
to upgrade the ABC license to include liquor sales at an existing
nonconforming convenience store located at 484 S. Rancho Ave.
BACKGROUND
c
The application for CUP 93-01 was submitted by Mr. Ali Yassin on
January 14, 1993, to upgrade the ABC license from off-site sales of
beer and wine to liquor at an existing non-conforming convenience
store at 484 S. Rancho Ave. CUP 93-01 was denied upon appeal by
the Mayor and Common Council on September 9, 1993. At the request
of the Mayor and Common Council, the City Attorney's office met
with the applicant and based on Mr. Henry Empeno's memo of December
2, 1993 (Exhibit 5), the Mayor and Common Council directed planning
staff to advise Mr. Yassin to submit a Development Code Amendment
(DCA) application. The application, DCA 93-15, was submitted on
December 23, 1993.
The Development Review Committee, on May 5, 1994, recommended
approval and proposed a Negative Declaration. The project was
heard by the Planning Commission on July 5, 1994.
PLANNING COIIIIISSION RECOVV1l!RDATION
The Planning Commission had considerable discussion on the project
with the main concern being that it could open a door to allow uses
to develop that are not permitted by the Development Code. Their
decision was to recommend denial of the project. The vote was 6-2
(Affaitati, Melendez, Stone, strimple, Trasher, Traver in favor,
Cole, Gonzales against, and Romero absent).
There were two speakers from the public at the Planning Commission
meeting Mr. Ali Yassin, the applicant, who spoke of the lack of
crime problems at his location and that it was unfair that the use
across the street in the City of Colton could sell liquor and he
c
o
:)
c
could not. A Mr. CUrley spoke of the dangers of alcohol and that
anything to reduce its availability should be considered.
DY POIIl'1'S
C Development Code section 19.06.030 (2)(B) states that "...a
business requiring issuance of an "ABC" license is subject to
a Conditional Use Permit...", that an establishment ".. . shall
not be located within...100 feet of any property designated
for residential purposes..." and "...shall not be located in
such close proximity to another similar use to cause
oversaturation...".
C CUP 93-01 was denied based on the above limitations.
C The proposal is to amend the Development Code, Section
19.20.030 (2) (B) as follows; A legally existing,
nonconforming, convenience store, possessing an ABC license
for the sale of beer and wine, in the CN, Commercial
Neighborhood, land use designation may upgrade to the sale of
liquor, subject to an ABC license, and subject to approval of
a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), even if the site is within 100
feet of residential property, providing that the following
conditions are met:
c
.
that the application is for the expansion of
an existing legal nonconforming use,
. that the site is within 100 feet of an existing
business establishment with the same use which is
located outside the City of San Bernardino,
. and that the applicant submits a written statement
of non-opposition to the application for the CUP
which is signed by all property owners and tenants
in the City of San Bernardino of parcels within a
radius of 100 feet as measured from property line
to property line (Exhibit 4).
C Upon approval of DCA 93-15, CUP 93-01 may be approved based
upon the Findings of Fact (Exhibit 2) included with the
project.
C A statement of non-opposition was submitted by the applicant
(Exhibit 4).
BBVlROBllDlTAL DBTBRMIJIIA'1'IOII
An Initial Study for the Development Code Amendment was prepared on
March 28, 1994 (Exhibit 3) and reviewed by the Environmental Review
Committee (ERC) on April 7, 1994. The ERC recommended a Negative
Declaration and the Initial Study was made available for public

review and comment from May 26, 1994 to June 9, 1994. Public
comments were not received and on June 9, 1994, the project was

RBCO-'~TIO.:
staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council:
Adopt the Negative Declaration and adopt the ordinance that
approves Development Code Amendment No. 93-15 based on the
Findings of Fact (Exhibit 1) and approve Conditional Use

INITIAL STUDY POR
DBVBLOPMBNT CODE AMENDMENT NO. 93-15
INTRODUCTION
This Initial Study is provided by the City of San Bernardino for
Development Code Amendment No. 93-15. It contains an evaluation of
potential adverse impacts that can occur if the Development Code is
changed to permit existing legal nonconforming facilities in the
CN, Commercial Neighborhood land use designation, possessing an
off-site ABC license for beer and wine to upgrade to include hard
liquor to be within 100 feet of any property designated for
residential use or used for residential purposes when all of the
following circumstances exist:
1. That the legal nonconforming use has an existing
ABC license for beer and wine and
2. That the site is within 100 feet of an existing
business with the same use located outside the City
and
c
That a written statement of non-opposition to the
upgraded ABC license signed by all property owners
and tenants of parcels within 100 feet radius from
property line is submitted with the Conditional Use
Permit application by the applicant.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the
preparation of an Initial Study when a proposal must obtain
discretionary approval from a governmental agency and is not exempt
from CEQA. The purpose of the Initial Study is to determine
whether or not a proposal, not exempt from CEQA, qualifies for a
Negative Declaration or whether or not an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) must be prepared.

1. PROJBCT DBSCRIPTION
Development Code Amendment No. 93-15 is a request to change the
text of the Development Code so as to permit the upgrade of an
existing facility in the CN, Commercial Neighborhood land use
district, possessing an ABC license for beer and wine to include
hard liquor to be within 100 feet of any property designated for or
used for residential purposes providing the following conditions
are met1
1. That the existing legal nonconforming use has an
ABC license for beer and wine1 and
2. That the site is within 100 feet of an existing
business with the same use located outside the
city 1 and
3. That a written statement of non-opposition to the
upgraded ABC license signed by all property owners
and tenants of parcels within 100 feet radius from
property line is submitted with the Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) application by the applicant.
2. SITB AND ARBA CBARACTBRISTICS
This Development Code Amendment will apply to all properties that
are within the San Bernardino City limits, that are within the CN,
Commercial Neighborhood land use district, that are a legal
nonconforming use, that have an ABC license for off-site sales of
beer and wine, that are within 100 feet of a similar use which is
outside the City limits and that have the written approval of all
property owners and current tenants within 100 feet of the property
in question. There are six CN locations that have the potential to
meet these criteria.
3 . BIIV7ROlOIBlITAL SBTTING
The project is limited to those legal nonconforming uses requesting
an upgrade to their ABC license on proPerties that are within 100
feet of the City boundaries. The environmental setting is
dependant on the individual location of any future Conditional Use
Permit applications meeting the conditions established by this
amendment and environmental issues are such that they will be
addressed upon such CUP application review.

DISCUSSIOII 01' BlIVlROlDIBlfTAL BVALUATIOII AIfD KITIGATIOII KBASURBS
1. Barth R.sourc.sl
a-f. The amendment is dependent on property locations having
prior development therefore these Earth Resource issues
do not apply.
g. One of the six areas designated CN, Commercial
Neighborhood, that could potentially meet the intent of
this amendment is located within an area identified as
having a high potential for liquefaction as identified in
the General Plan, section 12.0 Geologic and Seismic,
Figure 48, page 12-9. A requirement to meet the intent
of this amendment is prior development therefore its
location is of little consequence as the only change to
the development would be to upgrade the existing sale of
alcoholic beverages to include the sale of liquor.
2 . Air R..ourO..1
c
a-c. The Development Code Amendment is a text amendment and
will not impact air emissions nor create odors. Some of
the areas potentially impacted are within the high wind
zone but as stated in paragraph 1.g, above, the change
permitted by the amendment does not include any new
development, and therefore will not affect Air Resources.
3. Wat.r R.souro..1
a-e. Since all potential sites are developed, they already
contain impermeable surfaces. None of the potential
areas are within a flood plain hazard area as determined
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
.. . Bl0109loal R..ouro..1
d.
None of the areas potentially impacted by the amendment
are within the boundaries of the 810lO9ical Resources
Management OVerlay, as identified in Section 10.0 -
Natural Resources, Figure 41, of the City'S General Plan.
This amendment will not affect any unique, rare, or
endangered species of plants or animals as the amendment
only affects existing developed sites.
Trees will not be impacted as the amendment can only
affect developed properties.

are affected.
7 . Han-bd. Ba.ardsl
a-c. The amendment allows for a change to the permitted uses
by permitting the sale of liquor under certain
conditions. This change does not affect the use,
storage, transporting or disposal of hazardous, toxic and

Dec_ber 6, 1993 Council Meeting Agenda It_s No. 40 (, 41
40. Reconsider Initiation of Development Code
Amendment Regarding Off-Site ABC License Requireaents
41. Reconsider Appeal of Planning Commission's Denial
of Conditional Use Permit No. 93-01, Convenience
Market at 484 South Rancho Avenue.
RE:
This memorandum' is in response to issues raised at the October 4,
1993 Council Meeting regarding the above-referenced items which
were later continued to the December 6, 1993 Council Meeting.
On September 20, 1993, the Council voted to deny the appeal and
deny Conditional Use Permit No. 93-01, which sought to upgrade an
ABC license to sell liquor at an existing convenience market. The
Council denied the CUP primarily because the application did not
comply with the distance requirements in the Development Code at
Section 19.06.030(2)(B),which, among other' conditions, p~bits
businesses requiring issuance of an off-site ABC license frail being
located within 100 feet of any property designated for residential
use or used for residential purposes. The subject market i.
located next door to an existing single family residence. Although
the subject market currently sells beer and wine as an existing
legal nonconforming use, any expansion of this use, i.e. adding the
sale of liquor, must conform to the provisions of the Development
Code, pursuant to Section 19.62.030(3). Thus the ordinance in the
Development Code stating these distance requirements must be
previously or concurrently amended in order for the subject CUP to
be validly approved by the Council. As pointed out at the previous
Council meetings, the -fairness- of this rule has been questioned
given that just across the street from the subject market 'is a
similar use within the City of Colton which is permitted to sell
liquor.
After the October 4, 1993 Council Meeting, our office met with the
property owner and the applicant of the subject. CUP and have also
held several meetings with Planning Department ataff. Ife believe
a Development Code Amendment may be initiated by the COUncil which .
would allow approval of the subject CUP and at the same time
decrease the risk of a successful legal challenge to the amendment
and to .the approval of the CUP.
Such a Development Code
19.06.030(2)(B) by allowing
al though the site is wi thin
Amendment would amend Section
approval of the CUP application

Mayor and Councilmembers
December 6, 1993 Council Meeting Agenda %1:-. No. 40 5 41
2
providing that three additional conditions are met:
1. The application is for the expansion of an existing
legal nonconforming use.
2. The site is within 100 feet of an existing business
establishment with the same use which is located
outside the City of San Bernardino.
3. The applicant submits a written statement of non-
opposition to the application for the CUP which is
signed by all property owners and tenants of parcels
within a radius of 100 feet.
The above conditions would minimize the opportunity for applying
this Development Code Amendment to other ateas of the City but
would not be -spot zoning- because other similarly situated
property would be affected in the same manner as the subject site.
The written statement of non-opposition decreases the risk of
challenges to the City's actions. And in this particular case, the
property owner and the applicant, Ali.Yasin and Eddy Robbin, have
informed us that they already have a petition signed by all of
their neighbors supporting their application.
If the Mayor and Council choose this option, the fOllowing actions
should be taken:
1. Agenda Item No. 40: Adopt a motion to initiate a
Development, Code Amendment regarding off-site ABC license
requirements as outlined in this memorandum, wi tb the
necessary fees to be paid by the applicant (Mr. Robbin
offered to pay the Development Code Amendment fees at the
October 4, 1993 Council Meeting).
2. Agenda Item No. 41: Adopt a motion to approve the
reconsideration and to notice a public hearing for CUP
No. 93-01 concurrently with the Council's hearing on the
Development Code Amendment.
