STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
General Plan Amendment No. 92-05
Mayor and Common Council Meeting of
October 19, 1992
REOUEST
The applicant requests to change the General Plan land use
designation from RH, Residential High to CO-1, Commercial Office on
two contiguous lots consisting of approximately 1.93 acres of land
and containing two existing office buildings. The amendment site
is located at the northwest corner of 6th Street and Sierra Way.
(See Exhibit A of the Initial Study)
BACKGROUND
Upon adoption of the General Plan, the site was designated RH,
Residential High. Because the RH designation does not permit
office uses, the existing buildings and uses are non-conforming.
ENVIRONMENTAL
On May 14, 1992, the Environmental Review Committee reviewed the
Initial Study which was prepared to evaluate the CO-1 designation
and recommended a Negative Declaration.
PLANNING COMMISSION
The amendment request was considered by the Planning Commission at
a noticed public hearing on September 8, 1992. The Planning
Commission recommended the adoption of the Negative Declaration and
the approval of General Plan Amendment No. 92-05 to change the land
use designation from RH, Residential High to CO-1, Commercial
Office on the amendment site.
ANALYSIS
The general plan amendment will eliminate the nonconformity of the
office uses. Both the buildings and the uses are permitted in the
CO-1 designation and meet the requirements for minimum lot
standards. In addition, redesignation of the site will implement
the City's General Plan objective (as it applies to the amendment
site) to retain the existing commercial offices and office users.

Because the site is developed, redesignation from the RH to the CO-
1 will not create land use impacts in the neighborhood or result in
impacts to the area's traffic and circulation patterns.
MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OPTIONS
1. The Mayor and Common Council may adopt the Negative
Declaration and approve General Plan Amendment No. 92-05 based
on findings in the resolution.
2. The Mayor and Common Council may deny General Plan Amendment
No. 92-05.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council adopt the
resolution, copy attached, which adopts the Negative Declaration
and approves General Plan Amendment No. 92-05 as presented.

HEARING DATE: SEPTEMBER 8, 1992
PAGE 1
REQUEST AND LOCATION
The applicant requests an amendment to change the land use
designation from RH, Residential High to CO-1, Commercial Office
for a site located at the northwest corner of 6th street and Sierra
Way. (See site Vicinity and Land Use Designation Map, Exhibit B to
Attachment A)
DEVELOPMENT CODE
The existing commercial office buildings and uses are not permitted
in the RH designation. Chapter 19.62 of the City's Development
Code classifies the structures and the uses as legal nonconforming.
General Plan Policy 1.7.9 permits the continuation of nonconforming
uses and allows for minimal expansion, however, the office
structures and uses would remain nonconforming. If the buildings
become vacant for a periOd of 180 days or more, the nonconforming
uses cannot be reestablished and future land uses must conform with
the underlying land use designation.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT ICEOAI STATUS
The general plan amendment is subject to CEQA. The City's
Environmental Review Committee (ERC) reviewed the application on
May 14, 1992 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 May
21, 1992 and ended on June 10, 1992. The ERC completed their
review and the project was cleared to the Planning Commission on
July 2, 1992.
BACKGROUND
Upon adoption of the General Plan on June 2, 1989, the amendment
site was designated RH, Residential High.

ANALYSIS
SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA CHARACTERISTICS
Amendment site
The amendment site is comprised of two adjoining lots and contains
approximately 1.93 acres of land. The two lots are improved with
two existing office buildings and on-site paved parking areas.
Surrounding Area
The property located north of the site and across Victoria street
is developed with single-family uses and a scattering of multi-
family uses in an area designated RMH, Residential Medium High.
East and across Sierra Way is Seccombe Park in the PP, Public Park
designation. South of the park and across 6th Street the PP
designation continues with public and quasi pUblic uses. South and
across 6th Street (on the southwest corner of 6th Street and Sierra
Way) is an existing office use with mUlti-family uses located west
and adjacent in the RH. West and adjacent to the site are single-
family, multi-family and office uses in the RH designation.
Further west and across Mountain View are commercial and office
uses in the CR-2, Commercial Regional designation. (See Exhibit A
to Attachment A)
EXISTING LAND USE DESIGNATION
The RH, Residential High land use designation permits the
development of multi-family condominiums and apartments with a
maximum density of 31 units per gross acre. The existing office
buildings and uses on the amendment site are not permitted in this
residential designation. As such, the site is classified as legal
nonconforming. (See previous discussion under Development Code)
PROPOSED LAND USE DESIGNATION
The following citation from the General Plan describes the purpose
of the CO-1, Commercial Office designation:
It shall be the objective of the City . . . to:
"Provide for the continued use, expansion, and new
development of administrative and professional offices
and supporting retail uses in proximity to major
o
o
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 92-05
AGENDA ITEM: .2
HEARING DATE: SEPTEMBER 8, 1992
PAGE 3
transportation corridors and ensure their compatibility
with adjacent residential and commercial uses." (General
Plan Objective 1.28)
The CO-1 designation permits administrative and professional
offices as well as limited supporting retail uses and medical
facilities. The buildings and uses existing on the site are
permitted in the CO-l designation and the parcels meet all of the
minimum lot standards.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY
The passage cited in the preceding section (General Plan Objective
1.28) reflects the City's intent to retain existing professional
and medical offices. Similarly, General Plan Objective 4.11
addresses the City's need for maintaining the existing office user
base as well as other related issues.
Regarding compatibility, professional and medical offices generally
can coexist well with surrounding residential neighborhoods. The
amendment site is well established in the neighborhood and has
contained commercial offices and uses for several years.
Essentially, the amendment proposal will not change the status quo
of the site or the neighborhood and, it will not create impacts
related to land use compatibility, traffic or circulation.
COMMENTS RECEIVED
No comments have been received.
CONCLUSIONS
The general plan amendment will eliminate the nonconformity of the
office uses. Both the buildings and the uses are permitted in the
CO-1 designation and meet the requirements for minimum lot
standards. In addition, redesignation of the site will implement
the City's objective (as it applies to the amendment site) to
retain the existing commercial offices and office users.
Because the site is developed, redesignation from the RH
designation to the CO-l will not create land use impacts in the
neighborhood. Nor will the amendment proposal result in impacts to
the area's traffic and circulation.

uses are compatible with the adjacent residential, commercial
and office uses and will not create any adverse impacts.
2. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City
as addressed in this report.
3. The amendment proposes to redesignate 1. 93 acres from RH,
Residential High to CO-l, Commercial Office. The City's
housing stock will not be significantly affected.
4. The amendment site is physically suitable for the CO-1,
Commercial Office land use designation.
5. All public services are available to the proposed amendment
site. Any future development permissible under the proposed
designation would not impact on such services.

Amendment Site and Surrounding Area Characteristics: The site is
comprised of 2 adjoining, same-sized 140 X 280 foot
rectangular parcels, which are both presently improved
wi th existing office buildings and on-site paved parking
areas. The parcels located on the southwest corner of
6th Street and Sierra Way also have existing offices,
though this corner, like the subject property and other
parcels to the west have RH, Residential High land use
designations. Most of the adjoining parcels to the
west and north are developed with mixed single and
multi-family residential uses with also some additional
scattered offices and related commercial businesses. To
the east and southeast across Sierra Way are the YWCA,
City Parks and Recreation Department and surrounding
Seccombe Lake State Urban Recreation Area that is all
designated PP, Public Park land use District.

ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION AND MITIGATION MEASORES DISSCOSSION
1. EARTH RESOURCES-1g. Potential High Liquefaction, SUbsidence Area
The subject site is located in a City designated area of high
liquefaction susceptibility and potential ground Subsidence.
since both GPA parcels are presently improved with existing
office buildings and adjoining yard improvements only future
structural expansions will be subject to any foundation and/or
other additional building reinforcement requirements for
construction within these designated zones. The proposed General
Plan Amendment change from.the current RH, Residential High land
use designation to CO-1, Commercial Office will not of, itself,
pose an impact either to the subject site or to surrounding
properties in that any future development planned for the site
can be structurally designed to meet and/or exceed code require-
ments for construction within these designated zones.
3. WATER RESOURCES - 3a & 3b. Absorption Rates, Runoff & DiSCharge
Both of the subject parcels are already improved with existing
office buildings and adjoining, paved parking areas. As such,
most hardscapes areas are already in place with no proposed
plans for further office building expansions. Consequently,
absorption rates and runoff amounts will likely remain constant
with those that presently occur during periods of occasional
heavy precipitation. All such runoff shall be directed to and
into approved City storm drain facilities already developed
along Sierra Way and 6th Streets. The proposed GPA land use
designation change to Commercial Office of the two subject
parcels will not impact or change discharge levels into these
public sewers and storm drain facilities nor be otherwise detri-
mental to the City'S existing underground water tables.
5. NOISE - 5b. Subject property Abuts Residential Uses
The site area of the proposed General Plan Amendment has it's
western and northern property lines abutting RH, Residential
High designated land use districts whose properties are improved
with mixed single and multi-family residences. The present
office use of the two subject parcels has proven to be
compatible with these adjoining residential uses with most
potential noise generated only from occasional employee and
patron auto traffic accessing the two parcel site. Since most
access to the corner lots is by the way of Sierra way, a long
established north-south traffic arterial, the proposed GPA
change to Commercial Office will not substantially increase or
change traffic nor noise levels to nearby residences.

6. LAND USE - 6a. proposed Land Use Desiqnation Change -
General Plan Amendment No. 92-05 proposes to chanqe the land
use designation of two existing, legal parcels comprising a
total 84,000 square feet or 1.93 acres from RH, Residential
Hiqh to CO-l, commercial Office. The two parcel site is located
at the northwest corner of 6th Street and Sierra Way.
9. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION - 9h. site Access -
primary access to the corner, two subject parcels is off Sierra
Way, a lonq established north-south traffic arterial. As such,
the close proximity of Sierra way to access the corner subject
site minimizes traffic and potential noise levels to the
surroundinq mixed sinqle and mUlti-family residential uses to
the north and northwest. General Plan Amendment No. 92-05, if
approved, will not change access nor circulation patterns to
the subject's existinq office buildings or present use of the
subject properties.
13. CULTURAL RESOURCES: -13c. Urban Historical/Archaeoloqical Area
Both subject parcels are presently developed with existing,
office buildings and adjoining paved parking and related yard
improvement areas. HoweVer, since both lots are within a City
desiqnated area of potential Urban Historical/Archaeoloqical
cultural resources, they are currently beinq reviewed and will
require clearance from Dr. Ross of the San Bernardino County
Archaeoloqical Information Center both for the proposed GPA
land use desiqnation chanqe and for any future office
buildinq expansion proposal, thouqh no such project has been or
is presently proposed by the applicant/owners.
