FROM:
James F. Penman
City Attorney
DATE:
October I, 1998
SUBJECT:
Appeal of CUP 98-06 and Variance 98-02; 197 South "D" Street.
In 1996-97, (I'm unsure of the exact date) I was contacted by Code Compliance Officers for legal
advice regarding a potential case they were working, hereinafter referred to as the potential City of
San Bemardino v. Michael Allen case. Although no legal conflict existed, Mr. Allen had supported
my re-election in 1995, and, to avoid the appearance of a conflict, I advised Mayor Tom Minor that
he should arrange for another attorney to provide legal advice to Code Compliance. Mayor Minor
then arranged for attorney Timothy Sabo to do so.
In February of 1997, I sent a letter to Mr. John Jensen, the complainant, in response to his request
that I take action against Michael Allen based on Mr. Jensen's allegations. My letter to Mr. Jensen
clearly states that the conflict I declared was in the matter of City of San Bernardino v. Michael
Allen, (involving property located at 206 and 208 South "D" Street). I later leamed that Planning
was seeking a revocation of Mr. Allen's 1978 Conditional Development Permit. (In 1978, what we
now call a CUP was termed a CDP.) This revocation was still, in my opinion, an action against
Michael Allen. Therefore, our office continued to abstain throughout this process. This matter was
never filed in court because, I was informed later, Code Compliance, Planning and the conflict
attorney, Timothy Sabo, resolved the matter by having Michael Allen apply for a new Conditional
Use Permit and Variance. In 1997, Mr. Allen's new CUP application and variance were approved.
That matter has been resolved and is not at issue in the item on the October 5 Council agenda.
An entirely different matter, not involving the property at 206 and 208 South "D", will be on the
Council agenda for Monday, October 5, 1998. This application, now before the City Council,
involves property located on the other side of the street, 197 South "D".
As I have previously discussed with the Mayor and Council on several occasions throughout my
years as City Attorney, I routinely abstain on matters where the appearance of a conflict might exist
provided my abstention does not result in significant cost to the City. Since there is no legal
requirement that I abstain on matters similar to the then-potential City v. Allen case, I decided years
ago to do so only in situations where it would not work a financial hardship on the City. I did not

Mayor and Common Council Memo
Appeal of CUP 98-06 and Variance 98-02
October 1, 1998
Page two
believe, based on what the code officers had told me, that a significant amount of legal time would
be needed on the Allen investigation.
After Code Compliance and Mr. Sabo determined there was no need to file a complaint, Mayor
Minor contacted me and advised me that Michael Allen was now going to submit an application
for a new CUP and variance (at 206 and 208 South "D" Street). Mayor Minor asked that my
offICe handle the legal advice at this point because there was not going to be a prosecution of Mr.
Allen and because Mr. Sabo's time spent on the matter was far greater than anticipated and his
bill had become signifICant.
I agreed, as I believe I was legally bound to agree, to the Mayor's request. I then took two actions:
First, I met with Mr. Sabo and asked him to withdraw his previously submitted bill to the City and
to consider that work a donation to the City of San Bernardino. Mr. Sabo agreed, and, to the best
of my knowledge, his firm never received remuneration for his legal services on that matter.
Second, I advised Deputy City Attorney Henry Empeno, who was, and is, the regularly assigned
attorney for the then Department of Planning and Building Services (now the Development Services
Department), of the Mayor's request. I instructed him to proceed to advise the Department and the
Planning Commission on the 1997 action involving 206 and 208 South "0" Street by Mr. Allen.
At the same time, I made the determination that if the matter reached the Mayor and Common
Council for a final decision, I would ask Mr. Sabo to again step in. Since the Council has the
authority to override the Planning Commission and the Department, any appearance of a conflict that
might otherwise exist, would be nullified by Mr. Sabo being the attorney to advise the Council on
Michael Allen's application for a new CUP and variance at 206 and 208 South "0" Street.
However, neither Mr. Jensen nor anyone else appealed that matter to the Mayor and Council.
There is no legal conflict by the City Attorney's Office in the matter now before the City Council
which involves different property at 197 South "0" Street and is not a possible prosecution of a
former campaign supporter as the initial issue potentially was.
Once again, to avoid even the appearance of a conflict, at this final decision level in the review
process, I have asked Mr. Sabo to step in to advise the Mayor and Council, which he has again
agreed to do at no additional charge to the City.
Re~pectfully subT-itted,

RE: 197 South D Street, San Bernardino
Hours of operation: M-F 8:30 am to 5:30 pm
Dear Brenda Allen:
In my experience as an insurance agent for the last 38 years and a specialist in repossession
insurance for 18 years, I have never had an experience of an auto blowing up or causing any kind
of serious fire damage in this business. I am a licensed agent in 40 states and write repossession
insurance throughout the states. I feel that I am considered an expert in this type of business.
There is no repair, engine work, or other types of mechanical work done on vehicles that are
repossessed. Therefore, that eliminates all chance of fire or explosion damage. I insure hundreds
of repossession agencies and I have never had an occasion where the insurance was turned down
from any occupancy located next to a repossession agency. Thank you for your time and
consideration.
Sincerely,
Walter C. Cagley

APPEAL, PROJECT PROPOSAL. AND WCATION
The City has received an appeal on the Planning Commission's approval of Conditional Use
Pennit No. 98..()6 and Variance No. 98-02. The project is a proposal to establish a storage
facility in an existing 11,500 square foot building with an outdoor vehicle impound yard. Items
to be stored in the building include automobiles, miscellaneous furniture and appliances and
C' office ~uipment. The proposed outdoor vehicle impound yard will be located at the north end
i of the SIte.
The applicant also requests approval to vary from Development Code standards, as follows:
1. To reduce the 10 foot front and street side setbacks (along "0" and Athol Streets) to 5
feet and 4 feet, respectively;
2. To . reduce the 10 foot interior side and rear setbacks to zero to accommodate the
establishment of an outdoor vehicle impound yard (with a 6 foot screening wall along a
portion of "0" Street); and,
3. To increase the maximum allowable fence and wall heights in the front and street side
setbacks from 6 feet to 8 feet (along "0" and Athol Streets).
The 0.73 acre project site is located at 197 South "0" Street, on the northeast comer of Athol
and "0" Streets in the n.., Industrial Light General Plan land use designation (see Exhibit 1, Site
Location Map; and, Exhibit 2, Site Plan/Floor Plan). The Planning Commission Staff Report
(Exhibit 5) contains detailed background information and staff's analysis of the project proposal.
KEY ISSUES
o The Appeal is of the Planning Commission's approval of the outdoor vehicle impound yard, and
the variance requests to reduce setbacks. Other related issues are outlined in the Application for
Appeal (see Exhibit 3). These issues were considered by the Planning Commission before action
was taken on the project.

RF.T ."TED PROJECT INFORMATION
At the August 4, 1998 Planning Commission meeting, several Commissioners and members of
the public were concerned that the applicants would defer constructing the on-site and off-site
improvements for the project. As a result, the Planning Commission continued the project to
August 18, 1998 so that staff could meet with the project applicants and bring back information
on potential financial assurance mechanisms, and a revised perimeter wall elevation. Staff's
meeting with the applicants occurred on August 12, 1998. A summary of the meeting is
contained in Exhibit 4.
ENVIRONMF.NTAL DETF..RMINATlON
Staff determined that the project proposal will not result in any significant environmental impacts
to the site or surrounding area. Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines states such
O activities are covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the.
, potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty
that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the
environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 98-06 and Variance No. 98-02
to establish a storage facility in an existing 11,500 square foot building, and the proposed
outdoor vehicle impound yard at the north end of the site in the front and side setbacks, and all
variance requests as proposed by the applicants (see Exhibit 6, Planning Commission Action).

Please see Exhibit "A" dated July 31,1998. (9) Nine pages, William J. Ward-Attorney.
Excessive storage of vehicles on property will create a fire hazard and added liability to
surrounding businesses. Increased fire and liability hazard created by this type of use
will result in increased premiums for surrounding businesses. See attached Exhibit "B"
dated August 25, 1998, (2) pages C. R. Cooper Insurance.
ADA handicap access to offices will be impaired or blocked by stored vehicles per
operation description and plans submitted by Aliens.
Allen's have been operating their business at this location for approximately two years
without a Certificate of Occupancy and have created a "Public Nuisance". See attached
report, Exhibit "C", dated 12-02-96, (1) one page.
Allen's current and future usage of utilizing city streets for their business operation was
brought up by Joe Suarez, Planning Commissioner, at the August 18, 1998 hearing. Bill
LeMann, attomey-representing Aliens, verified that the Allen's intended to continue to use
the city streets for loading and unloading of repossessed vehicles. Plans submitted verify
this since they do not show any designated loading and unloading zones on premises.
Allen's have completed work inside the building without permits. See attached Stop-
Work Notice, Exhibit "0", dated 2-26-98, (2) two pages.
Allen's have a 20-year history of non-compliance and refusal to co-operate with City of
San Bernardino personnel. See Exhibit "E" dated May f, 1997, (2) two pages regarding
letter from Margaret Park to Tim Sabo.
The granting of setback reductions is not consistent with surrounding business that have
larger setbacks in place.

Approving variances to create over-intensification of properties usage in a light industrial .
zone will cause surrounding property values to be devalued and difficult to sell.
City Attorney, James F. Penman, has declared a conflict of interest and has actively
participated in pressuring Planning Staff to allow the Aliens to develop property. See
Exhibit "F" dated February 26, 1997.
Planning Commission did not follow Planning Staffs "Recommended Motion" when
approving CUp No. 98-06 and Variance No. 98-02. See attached August 18,1998,
Planning commission Agenda, Exhibit "G', (3) three pages.
Planning Commission had two members absent (Enciso and Lockett) when vote was
taken at August 18, 1998 meeting. Votes for Ayes would have changed outcome of
action.
Building permit #102790 taken out by Aliens' for improvements had expired on 9-19-97
with no completion or finals. Planning should have made Commissioners aware of this at
August 18, 1998 hearing, and failed to do so.
Planning Commission Chairperson Thrasher's prudent urging that this matter be
continued to see if the Allen's completed the requirements of CUP No. 97-17 and
Variance No. 97-10 by October 21, 1998 was not taken into account. The Planning
Commission granted the Allen's (6) six months to complete requirements of CUP 98-06
and Variance No. 98-02. A written history of long delays and noncompliance should have
been considered and this matter should have been continued until Allen's showed they
were in compliance without further delays. See Exhibits "H", (1) one page.
Allen's have misrepresented their business operation. "Temporary Storage" was
described by Mike Allen in terms of ONLY DAYS! See attabhed letter dated February 2,
1978 from Michael P. Allen to City of San Bernardino, Exhibit "I", (2) pages.

~r Commission Members:
U I represent Western Door and John Jensen in connection with their objections to
the above-referenced project.
REQUESTED ACTION
Western Door requests that the Commission deny these applications outright or, in
the alternative, table the matters to a continued date for the purpose of evaluating
additional conditions for the granting of these applications.
SUMMARY OF POSITION
Western Door's position can be summarized as follows: the applicants continue to
store vehicles/or years on their properties, even though such storage is a violation of
City requirements. Attached hereto are two sets of photographs. The fIrst set of
photographs are pictures taken on February 19, 1997, of both the 197 S. "D" storage yard
and the 206/208 S. "D" storage yard which are part of the business owned by Michael
Od Brenda Allen. Among other things, a truck can be seen in the upper right hand
mer of the 206/208 S. "D" yard, and a red Camaro can be seen in the 197 S. "D"
storage yard.

The second set of photographs, taken on July 20, 1998 (a year-and-a-half1ater)
show the same white truck in the upper right-hand comer of the storage yard, and the
same Camaro shown in the 197 S. "D" storage yard. This is only an example of the
continued, long-term storage operations being conducted by the Aliens.
The fact that the Aliens persist in storing vehicles for years clouds the distinction
between an auto repossessiorrbusiness (a permitted use), and a salvage yard or long-term
storage business (not a permitted use).
0.. The applications before the Commission are essentially a business expansion of
the operation currently located at 206/208 "D" Street. These two properties are
inextricably intertwined in that they both have the same operation, namely, storage of
vehicles, are part ofthe same business, and both have financial requirements which
directly bear upon the compliance of these properties with zoning ordinances and the.
City's general plan.
The representation that the Aliens' business would be for temporary storage only
is a promise that has been repeatedly made and broken.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98-06
A. PROPOSED USE IS NOT PERMITTED AND WOULD IMPAIR INTEGRITY OF SUBJECT
PLANNED USE DISTRICT
The history of the Aliens' business, including what is being conducted on 197 S.
"D" Street, is the long-term, outdoor storage of vehicles. This is clearly in violation of
the zoning requirements of a IL district standard. Certainly, the Aliens are representing
that storage is only temporary; however, in fact, they persist in storing vehicles for years,
including the Camaro which presently sits on 197 S. "D" Street.

The same misrepresentations were made by the Aliens in connection with 206/208
S. "0" Street. In the summary provided by your planning staff in connection with
revocation of Conditional Development Permit No. 866 (hearing date July 8,1997), your
staff sets forth a chronology demonstrating the Aliens' persistent refusal to comply with
City requirements. In 1978, the Aliens were allowed to use the yard for temporary
storage of repossessed or broken-down vehicles. As your staff accurately states: "This
type of use stores vehicles that will be released to the legal owner withi/! afew days and
not stored so long as to have tires go flat, to have wheels removed, and to have
registration tags expire." (Summary of Revocation ofCDP No. 866, p. 2 [emphasis
added].) At that time, as noted, the Aliens' 1978 COP application states that the
QPorary storage "usually is accomplished within afew days after the vehicle is
. overed." Since that time, however, the Aliens have persisted in storing vehicles for
ears.
Based upon the Aliens' course of conduct, it is clear that the actual use to which
they will put 197 S. "0" is for long-term storage of vehicles which is a zoning violation.
When the City staff noted that the Aliens had been storing vehicles with
registration tags that expired as long as 15 years ago, the staff cited Section 8.36.010 of
the Municipal Code. This section states, in pertinent part: "The accumulation of storage
and abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative vehicles or parts thereof on private
or public property. . . is a public nuisance which may be abated. . .."
The public nuisance which will be created should the Conditional Use Permit be
approved for 197 S. "D" Street is something that the City should avoid.
B. PROPOSED USE NOT CONSISTENT WIlli GENERAL PLAN.
General Plan Objection 1.32 states: "Retain, enhance, and intensify existing and
provide for the new development of light industrial uses along major vehicular. . . routes
serving the City of San Bernardino."
o There are several businesses along South "D" Street in addition to Western Ooor
which epitomize this objective. The long-term storage of inoperable vehicles
substantially detracts from this objective.

When the Allens requested that they be allowed to enclose or build-out portions of
206/208 S "0" Street, this General Plan Objective was quoted by the planning staff.
However, with regard to this permit application, 98-06, there is no mention of this
particular portion of the General Plan. Instead, General Plan Policy 1.32.10 is quoted as
identifying outdoor display and storage is a permitted use in the IL district. However, no
one disputes the fact that long-term storage of vehicles is not a permitted use in an IL
district. ~
C. LOCATION, SIZE, DESIGN, AND OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS ARE NOT
COMPATIBLE.
o The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are not
compatible with the existing and future land uses within the general area in which the
proposed use is to be located. As stated, the existing area is for light industrial. Because
the Allens persist in long-term storage of vehicles, their use is not consistent. Further, the
proposed development at 197 S. "0" Street does not provide for adequate area in which
to load or unload vehicles. The loading and unloading of vehicles may take place on the
public thoroughfare. This is an adverse condition which must be considered by the
Commission.
D. THE SUBJECT SITE IS NOT PHYSICALLY SUITABLE.
As your staff has accurately noted, the 197 S. "0" Street is not physically suitable
for the outdoor vehicle impound yard as proposed. Given the setback variances which
are requested by the applicant, your staff has noted that there will be a "over-
intensification of the site." This means that there will again be a great many cars stored
outdoors, and the property will look horrible. This detracts from the City's overall goal
of eliminating blight.
Further, the applicant is proposing to have vehicles enter on Athol Street, instead
of"D" Street. The applicant should be made to reconfigure this site so that vehicles can
rY brought in and loaded and unloaded off of"D" Street, making a zero setback
Vmecessary. Thus, as the site is currently configured, it is not suitable for the proposed
use, and the Conditional Use Permit should be denied as proposed.

APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE NO. 98-02
A. PURPORTED SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES DO NOT JUSTIFY VARIANCE.
One factor in allowing for the issue of a variance would be that there are special
circumstances applicable to a certain property which would deprive that property of the
privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity under identical land use district
classification. This factor does-not apply here. The other properties in this district are
light manufacturing. The Aliens wish to come into this district and have long-term
outside storage of vehicles . This is at odds of the general nature of the neighborhood.
O. Moreover, the Aliens could reconfigure their property so that circulation would
me from where the "D" Street side of the property. Granted, not as many cars could be
stored; however, the Aliens should not be storing all of these vehicles outside for
extended periods of time.
B. GRANTING OF VARIANCES NECESSARY FOR PRESERVATION OF SUBSTANTIAL
PROPERTY RIGHT.
The Aliens went in and began business operations on 197 S. "D" Street without a
certificate of occupancy. Further, they began doing construction in the building without
permits. The AlIens now are attempting to say that they have some type of property right
because they bought property, knowing the requirements in the area, and began to occupy
and commence construction without entitlements.
This property can be used for a great number of things other than on-site storage
of vehicles. There is not significant property right at issue; rather, the Aliens wish to
have long-term storage of vehicles, which is not a permitted use, in an area where there
shouldn't be such a use. Other appropriate uses can be made of this property, and the
variance should be denied. The AlIens purchased this property knowing the
requirements, now they wish to have yet another exemption from what is required.
o
GRANTING OF VARIANCE HARMS ESTHETICS.
The City of San Bernardino, to its credit, has required landscaping setbacks
throughout the City. These landscaping setbacks have enhanced the properties in the
~Je. S 019
~,.;.c;.;.,..__
WARD
O~~~~w
Planning Commission Members,

. July 31,1998
. Page 6
areas in which they exist. The City should consistently apply its goal of having landscape
setbacks throughout commercial zones in the City.
Other properties, including that owned by Western Door, have adhered to the
landscaping setbacks in this area. Even the casual observer can note the difference
between the legitimate business operations in this district and the long-term storage
operations currently conducted on both properties owned by the Aliens. The City should
consistently apply its rules, alld should further its goal ofhilVing adequate landscape
setbacks.
D. GRANTING OF VARIANCE CONSTITUTES A SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.
o Again, all the other businesses in the area have landscaping setbacks. To grant the
variances requested by the Aliens would be to accord them a special privilege which is
not appropriate.
E. VARIANCE WOULD F ACILITA TE AN UNAUTHORIZED USE.
The history of the Aliens' business demonstrates that they persist in storing
inoperable vehicles for extended periods of time in violation of the City's zoning
ordinances. This conduct should not be encouraged by providin.g variances which would
allow the long-term storage of vehicles into setback areas.
The Aliens should be made to reconfigure their property to allow for ingress and
egress off of "D" Street where a small or zero setback on Athol Street would not be
required. As to the application for a variance for the landscape setback on "D" street, the
Aliens should be made to have a 10-foot setback, so they are consistent with the other
properties in the area.
F . VARIANCE NOT CONSISTENT WITH GENERAL PLAN.
O The General Plan provides that this district is for light industrial uses. To grant a
ariance to allow storage of vehicles in a setback area without adequate landscaping,
would be to highlight the fact that there is long-term storage of inoperable vehicles in a
light industrial area.

CONCLUSION
Western Door submits that the applications should both be denied in their entirety.
However, as an alternative, the following should be considered: (1) before ruling on this
application, determine whether the Allens are actually going to comply with the
requirements Conditional Use Permit 97-17, as specifically the completion of
construction of certain buildings at 206/208 S. uD" Street by October 21, 1998 (only 90
days from now); (2) require that the Allens reconfigure their proposed plan for 197 S.
uD" Street so that the setback variances are not needed; and (3) provide for adequate
restrictions on how long vehicles can be stored on the outside of these buildings.

RE: property and liability insurance
Dear Ed;
Pursuant to our last conversation this letter will confirm the
potential negative impact to your property and liability insurance
rates and ability to ~btain insurance caused by a change of the
occupancy of adjacent properties to your building. Building fire
rates are based on the city's protection class, building age,
construction, occupancy, housekeeping, frequency of losses, and
adjacent building occupancies. Currently San Bernardino Glass has
ry low rates based on the above parameters of fire rating. We
ve control of all the above factors except frequency of outside
loss and adjacent building occupancies.
Frequency of outside loss is hard to monitor and the insurance
companies adjust their rates and desire to provide insurance based
on a building's surrounding properties. When a good business
suffers numerous outside losses insurance companies will raise the
rates and in some cases decline to offer coverage. During business
hours an. owner is able to monitor activities inside and outside
their business and therefore prevent and minimize losses.
Historically businesses that are adjacent to ~ 24 hour operation
suffer more vandalism and malicious mischief do to public access.
Further to the above, adjacent business occupancies with higher
fire danger will effect the fire rates and availability of
insurance for lower fire risks. San Bernardino Glass has a low
fire rate do the type of business and lower fire hazard. Insurance
carriers look at surrounding building occupancies to determine
fires rates and obviously a building with a higher fire rating will
effect the rates of others as fires do spread from one building to
another.
Qlong with fire safety concerns, insurance carriers also are
oncerned with premises liability. Businesses with a 24 hour
operation traditionally have more losses do to increased "traffic".
Obviously adjacent business have the same increase in losses.
pg 1 of 2
o
In summary, I am concerned about the changes in adjacent building
occupancies. Your current insurance carrier has provided and rated
your insurance based on a location without an increased fire risk.
Your future rates and insurance availability will be placed in
jeopardy by a change in adjacent building occupancies.
Cordially Yours;

RE: Your letter of 25 February 1997
Dear Mr. Jensen:
Ohank you for your letter of 25 February 1997 regarding "the
lIens" .
This office declared a conflict some time ago when the matter of
City of San Bernardino vs ~chael Allen was brought to my attention
by Code Enforcement. I referred the matter to the Mayor at that
time and I would encourage you to contact his office in regard to
your complaint.
Once a conflict has been declared it is impermissible for the
department declaring the conflict to even inquire, yet alone
intervene or attempt to influence any city action, investigation or
decision on the matter in any way.

CUP No. 98-06 and V AR No. 98-m - Financial Assurances Information
and Revised, Colored Elevations
DATE:
August 13, 1998
COPIFS:
Michael E. Hays, Director; and, Project Files
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
This project was continued by the Planning Commission on August 4, 1998 to the August 18,
1998 meeting, and staff was directed to bring back information on potential financial assurance
mechanisms and a revised wall elevation.
On Wednesday, August 12, 1998, Planning and Public Works staff met with the Allens to
review the draft cost estimates of the project's on-site and off-site improvements that were
prepared by applicants' consultant, Mr. Paul Toomey. A cooperative discussion between staff
and the applicants resulted in the inclusion of some off-site improvement costs that bad been
overlooked. The estimated improvement costs and types of financial assurances are outlined
below.
FINANCIAL ASSURANCES
F'mancla1 Assurance Methods
Development Code 119.30.220 allows applicant's to use any approved types of financial
assurances. Three most commonly used types of financial assurances are described below:
1. Fscrow Account - requires that the applicant deposit the full cost of improvements. The
money sits in the account until the improvements are completed by the applicant or the
money is withdrawn by the City to complete the improvements.
2.
Perf'ormance Bond - requires that the applicant pay a percentage of the face value of the
improvement costs each year that the bond is active.
o
Planning Commission Memorandum
RE: CUP No. 98-06 and V AR No. 98-02
August 13, 1998
Page 2
3. Letter of Credit - requires that a lending company guarantee the full cost of
improvements to the City. If the applicant does not complete the improvements, the
lender must pay the City and pursue reimbursement from the applicant
The Allens have indicated that if a financial assurance is required. they will most likely provide
a Letter of Credit to cover the improvement costs.
Project Improvements Costs
If the Planning Commission requires a financial assurance from the applicants, it will need to
cover the construction/material costs of the following project improvements:
1.
0 2.
3.
4.
S.
6.
o
landscaping and irrigation system;
ornamental wrought iron fencing (with gates);
concrete block pilasters;
decorative concrete block wall (with gate);
modify driveway approaches on "D" and Athol Streets; and,
removal of existing driveway approach on "D" Street (replace with sidewalk, curb and
gutter).
The total cost of the improvements is estimated at $26,100. A listing of the individual costs is
shown on Attachment A.
REVISED, COLORED ELEVATIONS
The applicant submitted a revised, colored elevation of the proposed wall and fence. The
Planning Commission had requested that the wall be constructed from masonry block materials
that match the building construction. They also requested that the fence pilasters be spaced 16
feet on center. Both of the changes have been made and the proposed wall, fence and
landscaping meets the Design Guidelines in the Development Code. It is important to note that
the proposed height and location of the wall and fence still do not meet Code.

The applicant requests approval of a conditional use permit to establish an storage facility in an
existing 11,500 square foot building with an outdoor vehicle impound yard. Items to be stored
in the building include automobiles, miscellaneous furniture and appliances and office equipment.
The proposed outdoor vehicle impound yard will be located at the north end of the site.
The applicant also requests approval to vary from Development Code standards, as follows:
1.
To reduce the 10 foot front and street side setbacks (along "0" and Athol Streets) to 5
feet and 4 feet, respectively;
2.
To reduce the 10 foot interior side and rear setbacks to zero to accommodate the
establishment of an outdoor vehicle impound yard (with a 6 foot screening wall along a
portion of "0" Street); and,
To increase the maximum allowable fence and wall heights in the front and street side
setbacks from 6 feet to 8 feet (along "0" and Athol Streets).
The 0.73 acre project site is located at 197 South "0" Street, on the northeast comer of Athol
and "0" Streets in the IL, Industrial Light General Plan land use designation. (See Attachment
A, Site Location Map; and, Attachment B, Site Plan and Floor Plan)
SETTING/SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The site is developed with an 11,500 square foot industrial building and associated site
improvements. The is relatively flat and rectangularly-shaped. It is surrounded by a mix of
light industrial uses and commercial services in the middle of an IL district that is bounded by
Mayfield Avenue on the east, Mill Street on the south, Stoddard Avenue on the west, and Rialto
Avenue on the north.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEOA) STATUS
The proposed conversion of the 11,500 square foot manufacturing building and site to a storage
facility with an outdoor vehicle impound yard will not result in any significant environmental
impacts to the site or surrounding area. Section 15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines states such
activities are covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the
potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty

that there is no possibility that the activity in question may hl!.ve a significant effect on the
environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. .
BAlCKGROUND
In April 1997, Michael and Brenda Allen were cited for establishing an illegal vehicle storage
use at 197 South "0" Street. The AlIens' filed a Development Permit Type I (OPINo. 97-34)
to establish the use on May 22, 1997. A Variance Application to reduce required setbacks and
increase allowable fencing heights was submitted on November 4, 1997. OPI No. 97-34 and
VAR No. 97-20 were deemed abandoned by the City on December 21, 1997.
On February 13, 1998, the Allens' submitted Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 98-06 for the
storage use with an outdoor vehicle impound yard, and V AR No. 98-02 to address setback and
fence/wall height issues. The original proposal for OPI No. 97-34 was for indoor storage of
vehicles, and office equipment and furniture, only.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS
Outdoor Vebicle Impound Yard and Storage Use
1. The proposed use is conditionally pennitted within. and would not impair the integrity
and character of the subject land use district and complies with all of the applicable
provisions of the Development Code.
The proposed storage facility with an outdoor vehicle impound yard is conditionally permitted
in the IL, Industrial Light land use designation. Other than the request to vary from specified
Development Code standards, the site plan is in conformance with the IL district standards and
requirements. (See Attachment C, Development Code/General Plan Conformance Table)
2. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan.
General Plan Policy 1.32.10 identifies outdoor display and storage as a use permitted in the IL
district. The policy also states that similar uses, characterized by the location of their
predominant activities in enclosed buildings, are permitted in the IL. The outdoor vehicle
impound yard can be categorized as a similar use.
3. The approval of the Conditional Use Pennit for the proposed use is in compliance with
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section
19.20.030(6) of the Development Code.

Planning staff conducted a preliminary review (pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 115060) to
determine the presence and extent of any environmental issues. that could result from
implementation of the project. The project proposes indoor storage of vehicles and office
equipment and furniture, and outdoor storage vehicle storage. Neither vehicle repair or
dismantling are proposed for this project. And in fact, vehicle dismantling is not permitted as
an outdoor use in the IL district. Based on the project description, site and surrounding area,
staff's review did not identify any significant environmental impacts. The CEQA Guidelines
U5061(c)(3)(b) states that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a
significant effect on the environment. This project is covered by the general rule and, as such,
is not subject to CEQA. .
4. There will be no potenlially significanl negative impacts upon environmenlal quality and
natural resources that could not be properly mitigated and monitored.
The project is not anticipated to result in any potentially significant negative environmental
impacts.
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 to be located and will not create significanl noise, traffic or other
conditions or situations that may be objectionable or detrimenlal to other permitted uses
in the vicinity or adverse to the public inlerest, health, safety. convenience. or welfare
of the City.
The operational characteristics of the proposed use have been evaluated for compatibility with
the existing and future land uses in the area. The site and building design are similar to the
existing light industrial and commercial service facilities located on "0" Street in proximity to
the project. And, the proposed use is similar to other uses in the area. Based on staffs
evaluation, the project will not be objectionable or detrimental to other permitted uses in the area
or adverse to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
6. The subject site is not physically suitable for the type and density/inlensity of use being
proposed.
The site is not physically suitable for the outdoor vehicle impound yard, as proposed. The
encroachment of the outdoor vehicle impound yard into the front setback area appears to be an
over-intensification of the site. Development Code ~ 19.08.030(2)(3) requires that outside storage
be confined to the rear of the principal structure or the rear two-thirds of the site, whichever is
more restrictive. The existing development on the site precludes placement of the outdoor
storage in the rear yard. As a solution, staff recommends that the outdoor vehicle storage yard
,0

Hearing Date: 07/07/98
PageS
be limited to behind the front elevation of the building. The required screening would extend
north of the front building elevation to the north property line.
7. There are adequare provisions for public access, waler, sanitation, and public utilities
and services to ensure tho! the proposed use would not be detrimental to public health
and safety.
The project was reviewed by the Development Review Committee to ensure that the site desigri
includes adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation,. and public utilities and
services. (See Attachment 0, Conditions of Approval; and; Attachment E, Standard
Requirements)
Front and Street Side Setbacks
The subject property is developed with the building placed in the ten foot rear setback (along
the east property line), and with the parking and circulation areas in the ten foot front and street
side setback areas along "0" and Athol Streets. The existing improvements along "0" Street
include a ten foot planter of which five feet are located in the public right-of-way.
1. There are special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape,
topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of this Development Code
deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under
identical land use district classification.
Due to the existing site layout, the requirement for 10 foot setbacks along the street frontages
would eliminate required parking and on-site circulation. Adequate on-site parking and
circulation are necessary to ensure that the use and site are functional.
2. The granting of the Variance is 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.
Strict application of the Development Code requirement for ten foot landscape setbacks along
"0" and Athol Streets would remove required parking and circulation and render the site
unusable.
3.
The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements in the such vicinity and land use
district in which the property is located.

Hearing Date: 07/07/98.
Page 6
A reduction of the 10 foot front and street side landscape setbacks will not pose any threat to
the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of San Bernardino.
4. The granting of the Variance does not constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and land use district in which sr.u:h
property is located.
The project site is located in an older area wherein many buildings and sites do not conform to
current Code requirements. While the landscape. planters (both existing and proposed) along
"0" and Athol Streets do not meet Code requirements, they will still provide enhancement to
a site that is largely bereft of any design features. .
5. The granting of the Variance will not allow a use or activity which is not otherwise
expressly authorized !Jy the regulations governing the subject parcel.
The reduction of the front and street side setback areas will not affect the nature and/or intensity
of the proposed use which is conditionally permitted by Development Code iI9.08.020, Table
08.01(16) in the IL, Industrial Light district. Storage facilities are permitted by Development
Code iI9.08.020, Table 08.01(39) in the IL district.
6. The granting of the Variance will not be inconsistent with the General Plan.
The reduction of the front and street side setback areas does not change the industrial character
of the property, or the nature and/or intensity of the proposed use. Therefore, the granting of
this variance would not be inconsistent with the provisions in the General Plan for the IL land
use designation.
Other Setback Issues
The project proposes to establish the outdoor vehicle impound yard in the 10 foot front, interior
side, and rear setback area at the north end of the site.
1. There are no special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape,
topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of this Development Code
deprives the property of privileges enjoyed !Jy other property in the vicinity and under
identical land use district classification.
There are no special circumstances relating to the property that can be applied in this instance
other than the applicant would like to establish the outdoor use in this area of the site. Staff
does not support the encroachment of the outdoor use into the front setback along a 72 foot
stretch of "0" street because of the screening requirement. The Development Code requires that
'0
CUP No. 98-06 & V AR No. 98..()2
Hearing Date: (J7/(J7/98,
Page 7
outdoor uses be screened to a minimum height of 6 feet. The applicant proposes to screen the
impound yard with an 8 foot block wall placed behind the landscape, planter. This would place
the wall only 5 feet from the public right-of-way which is not appropriate along "0" Street.
Staff does support the encroachment of the outdoor use into the interior side and rear setback
areas, behind the front face of the building. Given the existing development, the site does not
have a rear yard in which outdoor uses could be established.
2. The granting of the Variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial propeny right possessed by other propeny in the same vicinity and land use
district and denied to the propeny for which the variance is sought.
The majority of industrial properties in the area do not have outdoor uses that encroach into the
front setback along a major street frontage.
03.
The granting of the Variance will be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare,
or injurious to the propeny or improvements in such vicinity and land use district in
which the propeny 'is located.
The granting of the variance may be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare in that
it will result in a negative visual impact along "0" Street. Staff would support establishment
of the use behind the front face of the building.
4. The granting of the Variance does constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations upon other propenies in the vicinity and land use district in which such
propeny is located.
Approval of the variance would constitute a special privilege in that other properties in the
vicinity do not have outdoor uses in front yard areas. The side yard area, located behind the
front face of the building, has over 6,000 square feet available for the outdoor use. It should
be noted that the subject property is located in a blighted area. The implementation of the
Development Code standards, particularly along its major corridors, would greatly benefit the
area.
Staff supports the request to reduce the 10 foot interior side and rear setbacks with the outdoor
use located behind the front face of the building.
05.
The granting of the Variance will allow a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly
authorized by the regulations governing the subject parcel.

Page 8
The IL district does conditionally allow the outdoor vehicle impound yard but only in the rear
yard. Given the configuration of the existing site, placement of the' outdoor use in the interior
side yard, behind the front of the building face, is a reasonable alternative.
6. The granting of the Variance will be inconsistent with the General Plan.
General Plan Policy 1.32.10 stipulates that the manufacturing and warehousing uses permitted
in the IL, Industrial Light land use designation be characterized by the location of their
predominant activities in enclosed buildings. This policy is' implemented through the
Development Code which requires that outdoor storage and other uses 'be placed behind the rear
face of the building or the rear two-thirds of the site, whichever is more restrictive. Based on
the preceding, placement of the outdoor vehicle impound yard in the front setback area is
inconsistent with the General Plan. However, staff does support placement of the yard behind
the front face of the building and in the interior side and rear setback area.
Fence and Wall Heights
There are no special circumstances applicable to the property, including size. shape.
topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of this Development Code
deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under
identical land use district classification.
The Development Code allows open work fencing up to a maximum height of 6 feet in front and
street side setback areas in industrial districts. The project proposes an 8 foot fence along the
"0" Street and Athol Street frontages. Also proposed is an 8 foot screen wall for the outdoor
vehicle impound yard along the northern 72 feet of the "0" Street frontage. The applicant feels
that the additional height is needed to provide adequate security for the site. Staff does not
support the variance requests for the additional fence and wall height, or for the solid screen
wall adjacent to "0" Street. A 6 foot open work fence along the entire length of both street
frontages would provide adequate security given that the building and the outdoor yard can be
secured behind the perimeter fence.
2. The granting of the Variance is 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.
As previously discussed, the building and outdoor yard area can be secured independent of the
perimeter fencing. Typical security measures for the building and yard (Le., building alarm
system, security lighting, and locks for doors, windows and gates) combined with a 6 foot
perimeter fence should provide adequate security for the site. The visual impacts of an 8 foot
o
o
o
CUP No. 98-06 & V AR No. 98-02
Hearing Date: (J7/(J7/98
Page 9
fence and/or wall must be weighed against any additional security benefits the structures might
provide.
3. The granling of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, sq{ety, or
welfare, or injurious to the propeny or improvements in the such vicinity and land use
district in which the propeny is located.
The proposed fence and wall will be constructed 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.
4. The granling of the Variance does constilUle a special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations upon other propenies in the vicinity and land use district in which such
propeny is located.
Other uses in the City are able to comply with the fencing standard which calls for a 6 foot open
work fences in front and street side setbacks. The proposed 8 foot fence is excessive along "0"
and Athol Streets. Security fencing that high might be needed along rear and interior side
property lines that are obscured from public view and vulnerable to intruders. However, the
frontages along "0" Street and Athol Street have adequate street lighting and high visibility. The
proposed 8 foot wall along a portion of the "0" Street frontage is to provide adequate screening
for a storage use that is not appropriate or permitted in the front yard. Therefore the variance
request for additional fence and wall heights does constitute a special privilege.
5. The granting of the Variance does allow a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly
authorized by the regulations governing the subject parcel.
The approval of the 8 foot screen wall would permit an outdoor use (outdoor vehicle impound
yard) that is not permitted in the front setback. The purpose of the proposed 8 foot open work
fence is to provide security for the site, only. Therefore, the approval would not result in the
establishment of a land use that is not permitted in the district.
6. The grQ1lling of the Variance will be inconsistent with the General Plan.
The request for additional fence and wall height is inconsistent with the General Plan. Policies
1.32.30 and 1.32.32 call for buildings and sites to be designed to convey visual interest and
character, and to provide extensive landscape setbacks along principal street frontages. An 8 foot
fence would make the site look like a compound.

CONCLUSION
The proposed outdoor vehicle impound yard and storage facility are conditionally permitted in
the n. district. The applicant has included several variance requests in the project proposal. Staff
supports the proposed reduction of the front and street side landscape setbacks because the
reductions are necessary for the provision of adequate on-site parking and circulation. Staff does
not support the variance requests to reduce a portion of the front setback to accommodate the
placement of the outdoor use in the front yard area. However, placement of the outdoor use in
the interior side and rear setback areas behind the front face of the building is appropriate given
the physical constraints of the site. Finally, the proposal for additional fence and wall height
along "0" and Athol Streets will give the site a compound-like appearance. For this reason, staff
does not support this element of the variance request. .
RECOMMENDATION
Staff proposes that the Planning Commission take the following actions:
1.
Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 98-06, to establish an outdoor vehicle impound
yard and storage facility in an existing 11,500 square foot manufacturing building based
on the Findings of Fact and subject to the Conditions of Approval (Attachment D) and
Standard Requirements (Attachment E); and,
o
2. Approve Variance No. 98-02, to reduce the 10 foot front and street side setbacks to 5
feet and 4 feet, respectively, and the 10 foot interior side and rear setbacks based on the
Findings of Fact and subject to the Conditions of Approval (Attachment D) and Standard
Requirements (Attachment E);
3. Deny the following variance requests based on the Findings of Fact: 1.) to reduce the
front setback to accommodate the establishment of an outdoor vehicle impound yard;
and, 2.) to increase the maximum fence and wall heights from 6 feet to 8 feet along the
"0" and Athol Street frontages.

VARIANCE FINDINGS
1. There are special circumstances appUcable to'tbe property, including
size, sbape, topograpby, location or surroundings, the strict application of
this Code deprives sucb property of privileges enjoyed by other property in
tbe vicinity and under identical land use district classiflcation;
The project site has a Land Use designation of IL and is located on the
northeast comer of '0' Street and Athol Street. With two sides of the site
bounded by publiC streets. where front and side street yard setbacks are
required, and an existing builcling occupying over one-third of the site, there
would be special circumstances applicable to the property. In addition, there
are limitations created by site design. To satisfy site operational needs the drive
aisles and space in front of the roll-up doors must accommodate the tow-truck
maneuvering for building access. Any further reduction in the building or drive
aisles by landscape planters would impact the site circulation and facility
operations. This is most obvious at the south roll-up door and gate access from
Athol Street. With only 26 feet of space between the building and property
line/fence this entire distance is required for the maneuvering of towed vehides
upon entering the Athol Street gate.
There are examples of light industrial buildings in the immediate vicinity and
same land use with fencing within 5 feet of the property line. The first is a
similar builcling located directly across '0' with a 5 foot setback provided on
Athol Street; the second is located on the northwest comer of '0' and Athol
Streets where a chain link fence is apparently located on the property line
adjoining Stoddard Street. Although it is most likely that these buildings were
constructed prior to the adoption of the current City Development Code, these
properties provide examples of the relative minor impact to adjacent properties
caused by the setback reduction.
2. That granting tbe Variance is necessary for tbe preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property rigbt possessed by otber property in the
same vicinity and land use district aud denied to tbe property for wbicb the
Variauce is sougbt;
It is the development standards of the district, not a particular land use, to which
the Variance request is related. Other industrial properties have been permitted

to reduce the setbacks along the public ways wnere limited space Is available
for efficient operation of the business. The setback reduction will permit an
existing building to house vehicles that are currently stored outside on another
site, wnich will improve an existing, successful business.
3. That gl'llDting the VariaDce will Dot be materiaUy. detrimental to the
pub6c health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to the property .or
improvements in such vicinity aDd IaDd use district in which the property Is
located;
Although the front setback is 50% of the required distance, the amount of
landscaping provided in the parking area exceeds the minimum amount
required by the city. Total landscaping (proposed and existing) amounts to
1,610 feet, wnich is 16% of the parking and circulation area. The Development
Code requires the percentage of landscaping in the parking area to be 15%.
The distance available for vehicles stopped in the driveways along '0' Street
(between curb and gate) is 16 feet which is generally sufficient to permit
vehicles to clear the traffic lanes in the street. The reduction/elimination in the
setback does not restrict access to the building nor do they create a hazardous
design.
4. That graDting the Variance does Dot constitute a special privilege
inconsistent with the nmitations UpOD other properties in the vicinity and
land use district in which such property is located;
The reduction in the front yard setback is the minimum necessary to meet the
operational requirements of the auto impound facility and efficient site design. In
addition, where a new, similar business is proposed and given the size of the
parcels in the immediate area vicinity, other properties are subject to similar
constraints and would need the same remedy to achieve a viable development
under the current standards.
s. That granting the Variance does not allow a use or activity which is Dot
otherwise expressly authorized by the regulations governing the subject
parcel;
Granting this variance only provides for the reduction on setback area, a
development standard issue, not permitting additional uses in the IL district. An

indoor storage use is permitted in this district by approval of a development
permit and no additional unpermitted land uses are considered pert of this
project.
6. That granting of the Variance will not be inconsistent with the General
Plan.
Goal 1 H states:
Continue existing and establish new residential. commerr:la/, Industria/,
open space, and publiC districts which are uniquely characterized by their
functional role, permitted uses, density/lntensity. and physical form.
Under this goal, Objective 1.32 of the Light Industrial section includes language
to retain, enhance, and provide for new existing light industrial uses. In
addition, the proposed project is consistent with all the implementation policies,
induding the Design and Development Guidelines sections 1.32.10, 1.32.30.
and 1.32.31. Through consistency with these goals, policies, and objectives,
the proposed variance can be found consistent with the General Plan. As a
result, the granting of the Variance does not violate, directly' or indirectly, the
goals, objectives or policies of the General Plan.
