(See Exhibit B of the Initial Study) SITE AND AREA CHARACTERISTICS The amendment site, roughly rectangular in shape, consists of 8.12 acres and contains one parcel of undeveloped land. The topography on site includes knolls and mounds and generallY slopes to the south/southwest at a grade of approximatelY six percent. The topography of the surrounding area is rugged and hilly and also slopes to the south/southwest. Two traces of the San Andreas Fault System run through the site from the north/northwest to the east/southeast. The traces parallel one another with a separation of approximately 250 feet. The more northerly trace is located near and parallels the northeast boundary of the site. Vegetation on site appears unremarkable and consists of some native grasses, small brush and unidentified weeds. However, the site is located in the City's Biological Resources Management Area. The land north of the site is owned by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District and used as a borrow site. The Little Sand Canyon flood control channel is located southeast and adjacent to the site. The borrow site and the flood control channel (north of Foothill Drivel are designated RL. Southeast and beyond the flood control channel are detached Single-familY residences in an unincorporated county area which is designated RS. South of Foothill Avenue, the Little Sand Canyon flood control channel continues south in an area designated PFC, Public Flood Control. The land south/southwest of the site also is designated RS and developed with detached single-familY residences. Northwest and adjacent to the site is a church facility and grounds in the RL designation. (See Exhibit A of the Initial Study) ...j ~.=~ PUN-IJlI PMlE IOf , 1..00) '-, . . (') () ,..

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENT~UALITY ACT (CEOAI STATUS The general plan amendment is subject to CEQA. The Environmental Review Committee reviewed the application on November 29, 1990 and determined that the proposed amendment would not have an adverse impact on the environment and a Negative Declaration was recommended. The public review period for the Initial Study and the proposed Negative Declaration began on December 6, 1990 and ended on December 26. 1990. The Initial Study evaluates the potential environmental effects related to the proposed map amendment (GPA 90-14Al and the proposed text amendments (GPA 90-14BI. To avoid redundancy, the Initial Study is included as Attachment B to this report but only listed as an attachment to the Staff Report for GPA 90-14B. COMMENTS RECEIVED SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT The County's comments relate to the proposed text amendments contained in General Plan Amendment No. 90-14B (text amendment). Those comments are summarized and addressed in that report. STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (CALTRANSI Due to the proximity of the amendment site to a state highway (SR301. consideration should be given to the cumulative effect on continued developments. Any measures deemed necessary for mitigating those effects are to be provided prior to or at the time of development of this area.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNCIL OFFICES - WARD 4 Councilman Maudsley expressed concern regarding the location of fault traces on site. the need for northern access to the site and the land use compatibility of the map and text amendments with the surrounding area. OTHER COMMENTS RECEIVED Following the public review period staff received numerous phone calls and inquiries from area residents and other interested persons regarding the proposed map amendment (GPA 90-14AI and the proposed text amendment (GPA 90-14B). In addition, staff received three letters containing comments which are included as an attachment to this staff report (see Attachment A). ANALYSIS This analysis evaluates only the proposed amendment to the General Plan Land Use Plan map. It does not address issues related to the proposed amendment to the text of the RS, Residential Suburban and RL. Residential Low designations. Those issues are addressed in the staff report prepared for General Plan Amendment No. 90-148. EXISTING LAND USE DESIGNATION The purpose of the RL. Residential Low desiqnation is to: "Promote the lot, high residential 1. 10) development of low-density, large quality single-familY detached units." (General Plan Obje~tive The RL deSignation permits the development of single-familY detached residential units at a density of up to 3.1 units per gross acre.

The features outlined in the policy include interconnectinq pedestrian paths and qreenbelts, consistent and well desiqned siqnaqe, entry siqnaqe or monument, community amenities (such as clubhouse, meetinq rooms, swimminq pools, tennis courts, health club, etc.', and similar uses. This policy reflects the type and character of development the City would like to occur in areas desiqnated RL. PROPOSED LAND USE DESIGNATION The purpose of the RS, Residential Suburban desiqnation is to: "Promote detached settinq." the development of sinqle-family units in a hiqh quality suburban (General Plan Objective 1.11) The RS desiqnation permits the development ~f sinqle-familY detached residential units at a density of up to 4.5 dwellinq units per qross acre. Development under the RS desiqnation could yield up to 37 dwellinq units on the amendment site. The Desiqn and Development Standards for the RS desiqnation also include a policy that encouraqes the incorporation of desiqn features such as qreenbelts, pedestrian paths, and other community amenities in RS developments (General Plan Policy 1.11.31'. Similar to the RL policy, this policy reflects the type and character of development the City would like to occur in areas desiqnated RS. LAND USE COMPATIBILITY Chanqinq the land use desiqnation for the site from RL to RS would increase the permitted density. However, the potential for land use related impacts occurrinq is low due to the qeoqraphic settinq of the surroundinq area. The site is buffered by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District'land on the north throuqh the southeast, by Foothill Drive on the south and by the church facility and qrounds on the west.

A subsurface enqineer inq qeo10qy investiqation report, submitted by the applicant, identifies the locations of the two fault traces, the 50-foot setback areas required by state law and the remaininq land that can be developed. The development proposal for the site will be evaluated for impacts related to seismic hazards and adherence with the 50-foot setback areas will be required. The City's Traffic Division has determined that increases in traffic resultinq from chanqinq the desiqnation from RL to RS on the site would be minimal. As such, the areas' circulation would not be siqnificantly impacted. (See Attachment S, Initial Study) CONCLUSIONS The amendment site is buffered by a rinq of less intensive land uses and is located near the boundary between the RS and RL desiqnations. As such, redesiqnation of the site from RL to RS would not create any siqnificant land use impacts. The site is subject to seismic hazards and approximately fifty percent of the land cannot be developed due to the location of fault traces and setback areas. The remaininq buildable land will require careful site desiqn and review at the project specific staqe and, adherence to the setback areas will be required. .. !lIl.:&:r== ....

It also will evaluate the applicant's request to amend the text of the RS desiqnation and staff's modification to the amendment request to permit clusterinq in the RL desiqnation. The text amendments will be evaluated for the environmental effects specific to the project site and for environmental effects resultinq from clustered projects in the two desiqnations, Citywide. 3.2.1 Earth Resources La. Project Site and Citywide: Development on the project si te in accordance with the density permitted by the current land use desiqnation, RL. Residential Low could yield up to 25 dwellinq units. The proposed desiqnation, RS, Residential Suburban could yield up to 37 dwellinq units. In either case, earth movement in the form of cut and/or fill activities would be necessary for residential construction. It appears that clusterinq on the project site. or on any project site, could reduce the amount of qradinq necessary since construction only would occur in concentrated areas. Lb. Project Site: The project. site slopes to the south/southwest at an approximat:e six percent qrade (Case Planner Site Inspection. 11-6-90). As such. the project will not result in development or qradinq on a slope greater than fifteen percent natural qrade. Citywide: The general confiquration of clustered developments will include small areas of micro density and larqe areas of open space. Since the permitted density of the RL desionation is lower than that of the RS desionation. clustered developments in the RS desiqnation could result in areas of micro-density minimall y larqer than those found in the RL desiqnation. It is conceivable that clustered developments could occur on slopes havinq oreater than fifteen percent natural qrade. However. it appears that these developments would require less orading than would other residential developments because less area would be developed. . . '0 () GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 90-14 NOVEMBER 20. 1990 1.c. Project Site: The amendment site is located within the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies :one (Fig. 47, General Plan). A subsurface engineering geoloqy investiqa':ion report was submitted by the appl icant . The report. prepared by Gary S. Rasmussen & ,l..s:;ociates, indicates that two overlappino traces c.f the San Andreas fault occur on the site, approximately 250 feet apart. Beth traces run parallel from the north/northwest to the east / southeast with the more norther 1 y trace located ad jacent to the northeast boundary of the site. The southern trace bisects the proper':y near its mid ~oint. The report sugoests that setbacks of SO-feet should be maintained for either trace. The restricted use zone f0r the southern trace is 200 feet wide and for the northern trace, 1 SO feet wide because 50 feet of its northern limit are off-site. At the time of development, clusterino of dwellino units away from the restricted use zones could mitioate the seismic hazards. Adherence to the SO-foot setbacks would be required for clustered or detached sinole-familY development on the site. Because of the higher density of the RS desionation, the seismic risks to human lives and property are increased. Citywide: Clustered residential developments occurrir.g within the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone would need to adhere to setbacks associated with restr iC':ed use zones and all other seismic safety requirements. 1.e. Project Site: The site is located in an are sub~ect to surficial soil slips (FiO. 52. General Plan). Durin~ a site inspection. the soils on site were observed to be ~f a coarse and sandy texture. As such, soil erosion may occur during periods of heevy precipitation (Case Pl3.nner Site Inspection, 11-6-90). Clusterino of attached dwellino units in the RL or the PS desionations would result in areas of micro-density leaving large areas of open space. Soil erosion of open space areas could be mitigated with speCific landscapinq materials. CitYWide: Clustered residential developments will create areas of micro-density and open space. Clustered projects at either denSity could have fewer erosion concerns because of the potential for less gradino, and . . '0 '0 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 90-14 NOVEMBER 20. 1990 therefore. less disturbanoe ~o the s~il. 1. f. Project Site: The Little Sand Cany,.n fl x'd <::>n:r.:>l channel. an unimproved channel, is located scutheast and adjacent to the site. The narrow portion c f -:he 5':' te adjacent to the channel is in the 100 year flood plain (Environmental Concerns Map, Planning Division and the Federal Emerqency Manaqement Agency (FEMA) Floo:.d Insurance Rate Map, Community Panel Number 060281-0015 A. July 16. 1979). The majority of ths site is in Zone ':: an area of minimal flooding. Development NI site may require improvements to the channel :>r :>ther types of structural mitiqatiQn against flood h~=~rjs. The placement of clustered dwelling u~i-:s. in the EL or the RS designations, away from the channel o~ulj reducE the need for flood mitiO'ation. Citywide: Modification to cr.,eks or chann.,ls 10ca-ed within the boundaries of project sit€S for c'lustered developments could be minimized by l=lacinQ' clustered units away from the waterway. With clustered projects there is the potential for leavinO' drainage ch3nnels in their natural state as part of a project's open space. l.g. .h. Project Site: The General Plan indicates that the amendment site is not in an area subject to liquefaction (Fig. 52. General Planl or to subsidence (Fil,)'. 51. General Plan). However. the subsurface investiQ'ation states that the presence of phreatophyto,ls observed in the flood control channel at the approximate location of the fault crossinO' suggests O'round water could be less than 30 feet below the surface just north c.f the site. As such. the oeologic parameters for increasi nq 1 iquefaction susceptibility may be present on the site north of the southerly trace of the San Andreas fault (Rasmussen & Associates. paO'e 11). The subsurface report also states that no su~sijence has been documented in the vicinity of the site. However. subsidence fissurinq could occur along the trace of the San Andreas fault if siqnificant reO'ional su~sidence of the San Bernardino Valley occurs (Rasmussen & Associates. paqe 12). It is not known if clusterinO' of attached dwellinO' units on site will reduce or increase the risks associated with '0 '0 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 90-14 NOVEMBER 20. 1990 liquefaction or subsidenoe. AGY d~vel7cment ~n the li~e must meet all applicable City ordinan~~s and State laws reqardinQ seismic safety. Citywide: Deve lopment prop~'sa 1 s fer c 1 uste:'ej developments located in ;;..rei!'S slls:e):':i!:le to liquefacti':-r. and/or subsidence will be required to comJ:,lv with all applicable City ordinances and State law re~ardinq seismic safety. 3.2.2 Air Resources 2.a. Project Site: Presently, the site is undevelo):ed and has no effect on the air quality in the area. However. future development on the site, either RL or RS marqinally could affect air qualitv because of increased air emissions resultinQ from i!'dditional automobiles travelino to and from the site and increased levels of human activity occurrino in the area. ClusterinQ ef future development on site will not affect air quality any more or less than will detached sinQle- family residential development. Permitted densities for either type of development are the same. Citywide: Clustered developments in the Rl or RS desiqnations will not affect air quality any more or less than will detached sinqle-family residential developments since permitted densities remain the same, respective17. 2.c. Project Site: The amendment site is not located in an area of hiqh wind IFiq. 59. General Plan). CitYWide: Clustered developments can be desiqned t.o minimize the effects of hiqh winds and buildino construction must comply with all ~pplicable City ordinances and State Law. 3.2.3 Water Resources 3.8. ,c. .d. Project Site: If the croperty were devel:-ped fo"r the RS desiqnation, impermeable surfaces such as ir:terior streets, sidewalks, driveways, building pads and perhaps. . . 'b o GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 90-14 NOVEMBER 20. 1990 patios would be cC'nstr'J.:ted. /l.S a result. a!:scrj:ti=,n rates would be decreased thereby increasinQ surface runoff. Develoj:ment under the RL 1esignaticn would have a similar. but lesser effect. Imp~rmeable surfaces such as asphal t ,or ccncrete tend to collect solid exhaus': particulates and other air emission solids as sell as engine fluids. residue from automobile tires and other chemical pollutants. During periods of rain. surface pollutants are washed int" the water ways. Cumulatively, these pollutants can change the quality of surface and qrC'und water in an area. The quantity or the gro'Jn:i water also can be affected because impermeable surfaces decrease water absor~ticn rates. It is not known if clusterinQ of attach~d dwelling lwits on site will reduce or increase ':he effects of impermeable surfaces. At the time of developme.nt, a drainage study should be submitted to the City. Citywide: Clustered developments in the RL cr the R:' deSignations will require the construction of imj:ermeable surface. See previous discussion. 3.b. ,e. Project Site: As indicated in previOUS discussions, a small portion of the site is located in the 100 year flood plain with the remainder of the site subject to minimal flooding (Environmental Concerns Map. Planning Division and FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map, C.:lInmunity Panel Number 060281-0015 A. July 16. 19791. The severity of the flood hazard associated with future develcpment is not known. Clustering of attached dwelling units away from the channel and the 100 year flood plain could reduce the flood risks. At th~ time of development. a drainage study should be submitted to the City. CitYWide: The risks of flood hazards associ!lted with clustered developments in the RL or the RS desiQnations could be minimized by the siting the dwellinQ units aw~y from areas susceptible to flood hazards. The modifications to creeks or channels located within the boundaries of clustered project sites could be reduced or minimized in the same way. 3.2.4 Biological Resources 4... ,b. ,c.

Planninq Divisicnl, Vegetation en site consists 0f scm~ native }rasses, small brush, and unidentified weeds. The site contains several mature Eucalyptus trees located near the southWEst boundary. An aborist's report should be submitted prior to any development on the site. No species of animals were observed ICase Planner Site Inspection. 11-6-90). It should be noted, however, that the San Bernardino County Flood Control borrow site located north of the amendment site ac~ears to contain remnants of a riparian environment. A biological report for the site will be required at the time of dev&lo~ment. Clustering of attached dwelling units. sited a~lay from biologicallY sensitive areas. would result in open s~~ce areas which could be preserved as naturel environments. Citywide: The clustering of units could offer th~ opportunity to preserve biological habitats by including those areas in the open space portions of a pro)ects. Biolo;ical studies are required for all prciect sites located in the City's Biological Resource ManaQement District. 3.2.5 Noise 5... Project Site: The noise levels on site are at 6(1-6~ dBIAl (Fig. 57, General Plan). _It is unlikely that the amendment proposals to change ~he land use designation or the text to permit clustering could result in the exposure of people to high exterior or interior noise levels. Citywide: Clustered developments in the designations will not generate any more or than would their detached single-family counterparts. RL or P.S less noise reside~'t ia 1 3.2.6 Land Use 6.a.

However, since the project is adjacent to the church property, we believe their support is just as valid as someone living blocks away who may not support the development.

D St. San Bernardino, GA 92418 Dear Sir or Madam: The purpose of this letter is to express our opposition to General Plan Amendment No. 90-14. Our home is located almost directly across the street from the property in question, and we are certain that .our neighborhood will be adversely affected if this amendment is adopted. When we purchased our home almost eleven years ago; we of course investigated the zoning of the vacant land across the street. Our home is the biggest investment we will ever make, and we wanted to be sure that any future development in the neighborhood would enhance the value of our property. The RL zoning of the parcel across the street was compatible with our home and the immediate neighborhood (we have approximately one-half acre). The proposal of GPA 90-14, to change the parcel to RS, would change the terms of our property investment after we had already made our contract over ten years ago; this is completely unfair to all of us who have invested in the neighborhood. We also strongly Gppose1he provision in GPA 90-14 to allow cluster development. Condomin1ums on Foothill Dr. would completely change the character of this quiet neighborhood and would certainly devalue existing homes in the area. When future prospective home buyers drive into the neighborhood and see apartments, they will think, "Higher crime, more traffic -- let's look elsewhere." They won't know or care about the fact that the density of the development is no greater than it would have been with single family homes.

I take this opportunity, as a lifetime resident, to express an opinion widely heldamong my peers. ~his City is rapidly losing quality, younger residents. such as myself, to more econcmically and socially desirable communities _ Redlands, Highland. Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga. Riverside and the greater Orange county~ Each of the "concerned citizens" oppos~d t~ the"development of this parcel vehemently expressed their objections and further claimed to have the City's "long-term" interests in mind. I must first point out that the vast majority of those opposed were older individuals. It is my opinion that such residents are merely concerned with selfish. "short-term" interests _ keeping their neighborhood status-quo for the remainder of their lives. Let's face facts. The population of Southern California is changing by the millions. Where are these future residents (especially the desirable one's) going to go? A vacant field attracting weeds, fire, vermin and crime surely does little to attract future residents to our City and further, does little for the surrounding property values. After attending several related meetings, listening intently to the City, the "concerned" residents an.d the owners/developers of this property. I can say that I have objectively investigated the matters inVOlving this proposal. After speaking wit~ Nr. Hendrix, Mr. Edwins and Dr. Bl.atter I nave learned that their propsed development is one offering an upscale, MAINTAINED (something not common to this City), gated community with average selling prices well over $200,000. Ai"l'J\CIlMENI' J-l o o Not one of my fellow neighbors, so adamantly opposed, had the common courtesy or decency to fully and objectively listen to the full proposal; infact, most left the Commission hearing after making their negative comments public. It is time for the Mayor and Council, the Redevelopment Agency, the Planning Departme~t, the Planning Commission, this newspaper and the residents of this City to wake-up and smell the coffee. This generation of younger, educated, well-to-do residents is tired of narrow-minded, short-sighted opinions and attitudes. When those opposed, older residents are gone, their homes deter~orating and depreciating in value, with.DO upscale future buyers in sight,this City will always have what remains _ trash, blight and an undesirable future. It should be interesting... some executive townhouse in I'll probably be watching from Redlands.

They strenuously object to it as well as its companion, GPA 90-14B. In fact, no one with whom I have spoken in the neighborhood is in favor of the proposed change. The church nearby the site certainly would want the present situation ameliorated. But the present proposal would not do that, it would only change it. These homeowners are for progress, they are for development, but they are not in favor of the present proposal. Let the owners and developers make use of the site. But let them do it without the proffered amendment. Let the site be a boon for the city, the neighborhood and the new residents. Let it not be a monument to greed. There is no EIR. It might seem advisable/considering the special precautions that this site necessitates considering the flood control district, the county lands as well as the fault lines. There appear to be several promotions being bantered about by the developers that seem to be wishful thinking at best e.g. that cluster housing is going to be warmly embraced by local residents who are aged who want to move into such housing. A development in the Redlands area, Del Flora, proves this to be capricious thinking at its kindest. The draw that will be necessary to attract buyers will most likely be persons with lit~e roots in the area with little care of its long term positive objectives. The final building will probably be much less attractive to the neighborhood, the city and the new residents than is now even partially envisioned. The final product notoriously in these type cases unfortunately do more than cut corners, -1- 16 .! ) ) they emasculate the area for the sake of a quick profit turn around. The Common Council has a fiduciary responsibility to look out for the common good, not just the advantage to a few on the short run. There is everything right and proper about business people making profits on their investments. But the risk so inherent should not be placed upon the shoulders of the local citizenry who will reap only added congestion, burdens on the city system schools etc. It is not as if there is a dearth of for sale housing in the city presently or in the future. To amend requires a compelling interest for the change. There is no compelling interest here. The amendment does not benefit the neighborhood. Another development perhaps, but not this development. It does not benefit the city in consideration of the weighing of essential services etc. It will probably bring in more transient types who will have little interest in the city. We need permanent, long ranging interests for the betterment of the city rather than short-sighted, short-term, selective benefits to a few. The site area requires development. But not this development. Reject GPA 90-14A. Thank you. 5t-... - . Valdean M.

They are not in the best interest of the neighborhood, they are not in the best interest in the people who would move in and they are not in the best interest of the City of San Bernardino. They are only in the best interest of the developers who are out to make as much money as possible. This is their opportunity. This is their risk. If they can make more money that in and of itself is not wrong, but this action does not benefit the city, nor the city schools, nor the neighborhood nor the new residents. This land should be developed, but reasonably, not just with the idea to get as many as possible units on the land as can be. My understanding is that the developers have said things that are not correct. My understanding is that they are encouraging acceptance based on some wild speculations, like old people in San Bernardino will move out of their present homes to buy into theirs. This has been shown to NOT happen in the Redlands area. This is just hype, hUffing and puffing on the developers to, again, benefit their bottom line at the expense of so many others. My understanding is that they have some building projects that can and probably will change when it comes time to actually build. clearly an undesirable possibility. plans for their materially This is They have their free agency to make as good a deal as possible, but, again, not at the city's long term expense nor that of its residents.

I am the owner of Sigland & Associates, a firm that provides Land Planning, Engineer, Surveying services and also creates residential lots. I have 39 years experience in Land Development. Changing the density to a higher density makes no sense given the restrictions on the property. Flood Hazard Zone, Fire Hazard Zone, Geological Hazard Zone and Hillside property all require low densities. This will change the standards' on lot width from 80 ft. to 60 ft. and B.S.L. from 30' to 25'. This will reduce lot sizes to smaller than the adjoining neighborhood on the west, north and east. This would be spot zoning for this property. The site adjoins Little Sand Canyon on the East which is a major drainage course. Flows from over 900 acres which can be highly debris laden, are identified in letter from San Bernardino County Flood Control, dated April 8, 1991 as a problem. They are recommending a 100 ft. B.S.L. from their right of way. This drainage area is twice the area of the Hampshire Street drainage area. Do we want to have another situation like that past problem. Please refer to the attached map for drainage areas. Our City General Plan is only 2 years old. FOLLOW THE PRESENT GENERAL PLAN, do not change existing neighborhoods.
