Dear Ms. Clll.l'kl
This letter is to appeal the approval of Vll.l'iance Wo. 67-16,
agenda item #6, SiDlChowitz Enterprises, Sunset Developlllent, by
the Planning Commission at the meeting of July 7, 1967.
My reasons for this appeal relate to the ill8dequate responses,
by IppUcant, as requested by the Plaming COlDlllission at the
meeting of May 19, 1967, when the project was remanded back to
OC. Further studies were asked for regarding traffic and
liquefaction. OC gave its approval with only an updated traffic
report for this single 'new building and relied on a previous
Uquefaction study. Project was approved with Planning staff
and Legal Counsel recommending denial. ER:: meeting June 16, 1967.
To allow this project to proceed without a traffic study fails
to assess the impacts and the cUllll.1lative effects the additional
traffic My have on the area. AppUcant stated at the pubUc
hearing of July 7, 1967, that it was their practice to do
liquefaction susceptibility at the time of construction. Both
practi~es fail procedure as required by CEQA.
Ma;y I put another conCern I have in the form of a question?
Would project approval comply with thu letter of June 11, 1967,
from the State Office of 'Planning and Research, 3(b), and City
Resolution 62-3451
Thank you for your attention to this request, and I can be
reached atJ 6150 Cable Cyn., San Bernardino, Ca. 92407, or by
telephone at 714-667-1833.

REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a variance from Section 19.28.060 of the
San Bernardino Municipal Code to exceed the allowable height of structures in
the C-3A, limited General Commercial zone located on a 42 acre site at the
northwest corner of Hunts and Hospitality lanes.
BACKGROUND
On May 19, 1987 the Planning Commission considered the request for a variance
and, on the advice of the City Attorney, remanded the item to the Environmental
Review Committee for further study. The attached memorandum from the City
Attorney's office was distributed to the Commission at the hearing (Exhibit
"A"), As a result of further discussion during the public hearing, the
Commission also requested that the Environmental Review Committee study poten-
tial traffic impacts which may result if the variance were to be granted.
On May 22, 1987 the City Clerk. received the attached letter (Exhibit "B") from
the applicant appealing the Commission's request. At the meeting of the Mayor
and Common Council held on June 15, 1987, the letter of appeal was referred to
the Environmental Review Committee.
At their regularly scheduled meeting of June l8, 1987, the Environmental
Review Committee reviewed the case. The studies, listed below, were sub-
mitted, however the Committee as a whole had not reviewed the material prior
to the June 18th meeting.:
1. liquefaction Study (prepa\"e~.,Oc~o~er..?4, 1984) an~ an
addendum (prepared June 7~ 'l9~Y)~; , ,
2. Soil/Foundation Investigation (prepared March 7, 1986) and
a Foundation Plan Review (prepared April 30, 1987).
3. Traffic Study addendum (prepared June l7, 1987).

,
The Planning representative on the Committee did not feel that a Negative
Declaration could be recommended for this project without substantial evidence
in the record, i.e., written comments pertaining to the adequacy of the
reports. Also, it had not been determined whether any mitigation measures
were necessary as a result of the studies.
The Engineering representative stated that the Director of Public Works and
the City Traffic Engineer had reviewed the previous mentioned reports and
found that they were satisfactory. On that basis the Committee recommended
adoption of a Negative Declaration with the Planning representative voting in
opposition. A summary of the findings is included in the Environmental Impact
Checklist (Exhibit "CO).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
Details of the proposal are discussed in the original staff report of May 19,
1987 (Exhibit "D"). The subject property is located within the western por-
tion of the Southeast Industrial Park Redevelopment Project which had an
environmental Impact analysis conducted May 1975 and revised in October 1975.
The project area of the analysis included both the east and western subareas
of the "Southeast" project as well as the area that was subsequently adopted
as the Tri-City Redevelopment Project.
The analysis in 197~ projected approximately ll.5 million square feet of new
construction for the three subareas mentioned above. Subsequent environmental
analysis of the Tri-City project area and projections made for the easternmost
sector of the "Southeast" project would indicate that roughly 5.0 million
square feet of new construction was projected for the western portion of the
"Southeast" project.
The proposed building is one of tweleve (l2) structures in a master planned
project being developed by the applicant. Total square footage of the tweleve
structures will be approximately 750,000 square feet or 15% of the total pro-
jected for the western sector of the "Southeast" project. The estimated 9,200
vehicles per day that the tweleve building master planned area would generate
is approximately l8% of the total traffic volume estimated for both sectors of
the "Southeast" project and the Tri-City Redevelopment Project area.
The original environmental analysis in 1975 was done for such a large project
area that detailed traffic volume projections were not made for local streets
such as Hospitality Lane and Hunts Lane. Projections were only made for South
"E" Street and Interstate 10 in the vicinity of the subject property.
Additionaly only superficial miti9ation measures were proposed. Examples are
shifting of employee working hours and improved bus service. Such lack of
specificity is not acceptable by today's standards.
1 he 1975 ana 1 ys is along with subsequent studies have on 1 y taken into account
those land uses and densities permitted by code. Increases in floor area
resulting from potential variance allowances were not included. Therefore,
under C.E.Q.A., the analysis is inadequate.

LIQUEFACTION ANALYSIS
The applicant has provided the requested materials analyzing the potential of
liquefaction and its impact on the proposed structure. However at the time of
the Environmental Review Committee meeting of June l8, 1987 the City's geolo-
gist, Dr. Floyd Williams, had not reviewed nor made recommendations on the sub-
mitted reports. Staff from the Planning Department and City Attorney's Office
felt that an environmental determination should not be recommended without a
recommendation from Dr. Williams regarding the adequacy of the report or a
written evaluation of the mitigation measures by the Building and Safety
Department. However the majority of the Environmental Review Committee indi-
cated in their recommendation of a negative declaration that the report as
submitted was adequate.
ZONING, GENERAL PLAN, AND REOEVELOPMENT PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed variance for an additional story to an office building is an
allowable use within the C-3A, Limited General Commercial zone. Said uses
along with others allowed in the C-3A zone have been deemed consistent with
the General Plan land use designation of General Industrial. The Southeast
Industrial Park Redevelopment Plan specifies "Urban uses including Industrial,
Commercial, Parks, Public Facilities, Public Parking, etc for the site."
CONCLUSION
While having historic precedent in the general area of Hospitality Lane the
proposed variance application has not yet provided the necessary documentation
required under the provision of the California Environmental Quality Act
(C.E.Q.A.) for decision makers to take an action.
More importantly, however, the proposed application for the variance has not
been provided with sufficient findings to support the granting of a variance
from the San Bernardino Municipal Code.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the inadequacy of the environmental review, legal advice from the
City Attorney's Office and the insufficient positive findings of fact, staff
recommends denial of Variance No. 87-18.

Date
COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Subject site is in the high hazard liquifaction zones relatin9 to the
San Jacinto and San Andreas faults; it is also in the moderate hazard
liquifaction zone relating to the Cucamonga fault.
Geologic hazards are within the scope of the California Environmental Quality
Act. Under the California Environmental Quality Act, no project may be
approved until the environmental hazards have been evaluated, and mitigating
measures have been developed. This is particularly true where public safety
issues are involved. Public Resources Code 21002 states:
"The Legislature finds and declares it is the policy of the State
that public agencies should not approve Irojects as proposed if
there are feasible alternatives or feasi le mitigation measures
available which would substantially lessen the significant environ-
mental effects of such projects and that the procedures required by
this division are intended to assist public agencies in systemat-
ically identifying both the significant effects of the proposed pro-
jects and the feasible alternatives or feasible miti9ation measures
which will avoid or' substantially lessen such significant effects."
The staff report with respect to Variance No. 87-l8 indicates that the project
is located in a liquifaction zone. However, no geologic report has been done
for the project. The staff report recommends that a geology report be
obtained prior to the issuance of building permits.
The recommendation to defer the geologic report until a later time but to
meanwhile approve the project without this information is contrary to the
California Environmental Quality Act. A four-story buildin9 of over 100,000
square feet should not be approved without evaluating the scope and extent of
the environmental hazards on the site and without evaluating appropriate miti-
gating measures. The approval of the variance is the City's only opportunity
to impose conditions on the project. At the time of building permit issuance
it will be too late; no new conditions can be imposed upon a building permit.

VARIANCE FINDINGS
Section 19.74.020 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code states:
"The Commission, before it may grant a variance, must make a finding
in writing that in the evidence presented, all of the following con-
ditions exist in reference to the property being considered:
A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property involved, or to the
intended use of the property, which do not apply generally to
other property in the same zoning district and neighborhood;
B. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant.
The language in subsection A is construed in light of the variance test in
state law which says that a variance may be granted only when there are unique
physical characteristics on the site such as size, shape, topography, location
or surroundings; in such circumstances, the strict application would deprive
the property owner of a privilege enjoyed by other property owners with the
same zoning classification. The variance test goes on to say that "any
variance granted shall be subject to the conditions that will ensure the
adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute the grant of a special priv-
ilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity
and the zone in which the property is situated". Government Code 65906. The
prohibitions against special privileges is merely a restatement of constitu-
tional principalS of due process and equal protection.
The site of Variance No. 87-l8 is a relatively flat, ~oughlY rectangular
building site. There do'not appear to be any unique physical characteristics
of the site which differentiate it from other similarly zoned property.
Therefore, the applicant has not met his burden of proof in demonstrating that
there is some unique physical characteristic of the site which deprives it
from use of the property enjoyed by other similarly situated property.
With respect to San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 19.74.020 subsection S,
tne applicant has failed to demonstrate that there is any hardShip or depriva-
tion which threatens his enjoyment of the substantial property rights.
Therefore, the applicant has failed his burden of proof with respect to the
second finding in the variance test as well. Granting of the variance under
these circumstances would constitute a special privilege.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE SAN BERNARDINO MUNICIPAL CODE
Chapter 19.56 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code sets forth parking stan-
dards. 19.56.0l0.A describes specifications for parking stalls and access.
The San 8ernardino Municipal Code Section 19.56.ll0 describes specifications
for compact parking spaces. The applicant shows on his plot plan typical
dimensions which are not consistent with Section 19.56.l10 or 19.56.010. In
addition, the applicant shows on his project tabulation a certain number of
spaces described as "offsite" spaces. There is no explanation of what offsite
means or where these offsite spaces are. There is no provision in the
San Bernardino Municipal Code for offsite parking. The applicant has failed
to meet his burden of proof that he has satisfied the parking requirements in
the San Bernardino Municipal Code with respect to stall specifications.
Section 19.56.120 describes standards for landscaping in parking lots.
Section 19.56.l20.A.5 requires that 5% of the "total paved parking area" be
landscaped. The applicant, in his project tabulation has shown some numbers,
but he has made no correlation between these numbers and the plot plan; there-
fore there is no way to ascertain how he derived the numbers which are shown
on his project tabulation. Therefore, the applicant has failed his burden of
proof to demonstrate that he has complied with Section 19.56.120.
Section 19.28.070 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code establishes a maximum
permissable building coverage for C-3 and the C-3A lones; the maximum coverage
by "any structure" shall be 50% of the lot or lots. The applicant demonstrates
that the present buildin9 covers 14.7% of the lot. However, he shows one
additional four-story office building on his plot plan and about 25% of the
plot plan is blank and labeled future development. Since one-half to two-
thirds of the site are covered by the four-story office building described as
Phase 1, (which is the subject of this application), and its required parking,
it is difficult to imagine that the additional proposed development, and the
parking structure which will be necessitated by this future development wlll
comply with the 50% site coverage limitation.
CONCLUSION
This project must be remanded to the Environmental Review Committee for a
soils study/liquifaction report prior to approval of the project inorder to
comply with the California Environmental Quality Act. The applicant has
failed his burden of proof to demonstrate that the requirements of the
San Bernardino Municipal Code have been met with respect to landscaping and
parking, The applicant has further failed his burden of proof that the first
two elements of the variance test have been met.

C. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS ANIl GUMUI.ATTVE EFFECTS
6. The proposed project will result in additional building'space in
excess of the code allowance and thereby generate additional
traffic in excess than that originally considered in the previous
environmental analysis.
16. The subject property is located within the Liquefaction potential
zone A, the lli!;h Susceptibility zone for an 8.0 earthquake on the
San Andreas Fault, the Moderately High Susceptibility zone for a
6.75 earthquake on the Cucamonga Fault, and the High Susceptibility
zone for a 7.0 earthquake on the San Jacinto Fault.
D, MITIGATION MEASURES
6. The revised traffic analysis for Parcel Map 7968 submitted on
June 17, 1987 indicated that traffic signal warrants'at the inter-
section of Hunts Lane and Hospital ity Lane are not met. However,
it is recommended that prior to approval of any additional structure
north of Hospitality I.ane and west of Hunts Lane that signal war-
rants be reviewed again and a new traffic study be prepared.
16. Submitted liquefaction potential studies (June 17, 1987) indicate
that 1 iquefaction potential at the referenced site is low. The
Soil and Foundation Investigation and Foundation Plan Review con-
clude that U,epotential for liquefaction and the surface expression
of sand soils is unlikely due in part to the engineered compacted
fill mat required for the buildings.

1. The applicant requests approval of a variance from
San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 19.28.060 to allow the
construction of a four (4) story, 62'4" foot high office
building in excess of the maximum 45 foot height permitted in
the C-3A, Limited General Commercial District. The site of the
proposed building is located at the northwest corner of Hunts
and Hospitality Lanes.

is of an up-scale
within the immediate
3. San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 19.28.060 restricts the
height of buildings within the C-3A, Limited General Commercial
District to 45 feet. The proposed four story building has an
overall height of 62'4" feet. Reference is made to several
height variances within the immediate area; 84-21, 84-28, 85-17
and 85-2l. The aforementioned variances were approved by the
Commission on September 18, 1984, January 8, 1985, september 17,
1985 and December 3, 1985, respectively. The current proposal
is basically for a four (4) sided structure comprising of
104,504 square feet. The I-IO Freeway (south of the proposed
building) is elevated at that point. To establish greater
visablity to freeway traffic, especially those individuals
traveling on the east bound lanes, an increased height will
provide a "balanced" look to Hospitality Lane.
4. The Environmental Review Committee at their regularly scheduled
meeting of April 23, 1987, recommended the issuance of a
Negative Declaration for Variance No. 87-18. The Committee
indicated that the requested height waiver will not create a
significant effect on the environment. (It was noted by the
Committee that the project i. located within Liquefaction Zone
nAn, thus the project will require a geology report prior to
construction.)

ALL APPLICATIONS FOR A VARIANCE ARE TO INCLUDE A WRITTEN RESPONSE TO
EACH OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN ORDER TO CLEARLY ESTABLISH THE NEED OF
A VARIANCE.
The following are the four findings of fact for Variance No. 87-18,
including the applicant's and staff's response to each:
A. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property involved, or to the
intended use of the property, which do not apply generally to
other property in the same zoning district and neighborhood.
ARPllcant's Response:
This property is located in the Sunwest Professional Park which
is located within the Commercenter area. The area currently has
1,2,3 & 4 story office buildings existing. There are two (2)
major office developments within one-half (1/2) mile of each
other. Applicant desires to build four (4) story buildings to
be able to compete with adjacent project.
Staff's Response:
Variance from the terms of the zoning ordinance, as stipulated
by State law and City Ordinance, can only be granted due to
special circumstances applicable to the property including size,
shape, topography, location or surroundings.
Within the immediate area, multiple story buildings, up to four
levels are witnessed. The I-IO freeway is elevated at this
point and in an attempt for greater visibility from the 1-10
freeway, additional building height may be required. No
residential uses are intended for the Hospitality area, thereby,
eliminating the possibility of future residential intrusion into
this project which could be negatively affected by the
additional height of the building.
B. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant.
82211cant's Response:
Applicant desires to construct four (4) story office building
which will allow them to compete with other projects in the same
area that we have four (4) story buildings casting and under
construction. .

staff's Response:
Substantial property right refers to the right to use the
property in a manner which is on a par with uses allowed to
oth~r property owners which are in the vicinity and have a like
zonlng. The purpose of the variance is to restore parity where
the strict application of the zoning law deprives such property
owners of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity
and under identical zoning classification.
The granting of the variance would afford the same privilege as
other property owners in the same general area, including
Variance No. 85-17, which approved the construction of a
building 69 feet in height on the east side of Business Center
Drive, approximately 400 feet north of Hospitality Lane.
C.

Staff's Response:
In determining the application for a variance, the best interest
of the entire community is the controlling factor rather than
the suitability or adaptability of the property in question for
a particular use.
The granting of Variance No. 87-18 will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or lnJurious to property and
improvements in the zoning district. The building at the
requested height will be compatible to other buildings to the
south and east along the Hospitality corridor. In addition,
there are no residential districts within the vicinity which
would be negatively impacted or suffer from increased height of
the building in question.
