24. Appeal Hearing - Conditional Use Permit No. 08-21 (Appeal No. 08-07) -
Appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of a conditional use permit to
convert an existing 6,747 square foot church building into a 56-bed homeless
shelter with related support facilities and office space located at 840 North
Sierra Way in the RM, Residential Medium, land use district
9
03/16/2009
Mayor Pro-Tempore/Acting Chairman Johnson opened the hearing.
Terri Rahhal, Development Services Department Deputy Director/City Planner,
stated that the project site is approximately one-half acre and is located on the
west side of Sierra Way, between 8th and 9th Streets. The appellant is Human
Potential Consultants, LLC (HPC), which provides shelter and career
development services including job training, independent living skills, instruction
and other support services. She stated that the applicant had originally proposed
this project as a 56-bed facility, but after hearing concerns from staff regarding
the residential density, the applicant volunteered to reduce the capacity to 36
beds. Another revision proposed voluntarily by the applicant was to accept a time
limit on the conditional use permit requiring use to be discontinued upon opening
of the Lincoln II Elementary School, which is planned to be constructed at the
southwest corner of Sierra Way and 8th Street near the site.
Ms. Rahhal stated that the Planning Commission considered this proposal and
they heard concerns from neighbors and staff, including the Police Department.
Many of the concerns were related to security of the site, measures that would be
taken to secure the site, and the potential impacts that residents of the facility
might have on the surrounding neighborhood. Police Lieutenant Ronald Maass
met with the applicant before the Planning Commission meeting and he also
appeared at the Planning Commission hearing to testify. He gave some positive
feedback about the program, but advised the Planning Commission against
approval of the CUP largely due to the location of the domestic violence shelter
in the vicinity of the project site. Ms. Rahhal stated that this is a very sensitive
land use due to the fact that a domestic violence shelter relies on a high degree of
discretion and anonymity to remain successful in the community. In a memo
addressed to the Planning Commission Lt. Maass also cited concerns about the
potential impact on police services based on extraordinary calls for service that
may be expected to occur in the vicinity.
Ms. Rahhal stated that another speaker at the Planning Commission hearing was
Velda Griffin, Executive Director of Option House, who provided a brief history
of Option House to the Planning Commission and stressed the impact that the
presence of a homeless shelter of this type could have on residents of that facility,
and also the fact that the residents of a domestic violence shelter are particularly
fragile and their well being depends on a sense of security .
Ms. Ra1thal stated that the Council received a letter from Protima Pandey, Vice-
President of the Board of Directors of Option House, Inc. stating that she and
Velda Griffm wanted to address the Council on this matter, but they were called
away to Sacramento on some funding issues relative to their operation and could
not be present. Ms. Pandey requested that the hearing be continued to April 6,
2009, so they may be given an opportunity to voice their concerns. Ms. Rahhal
10
03/16/2009
requested that this matter be continued to April 6, 2009, to allow additional
testimony as requested.
Debra Pole, partoer in the law firm of Sidley Austin, 555 W. 5th Street, Los
Angeles, CA, representative for HPC on a pro bono basis, made a PowerPoint
presentation and distributed hard copies of the presentation to the Council and
City officials. The following docnments were submitted into the record by Ms.
Pole:
. Community Action Partoership of San Bernardino County, San Bernardino
County 2007 Homeless Census and Survey Comprehensive Report;
. City of San Bernardino Housing Element, dated July 2003;
. Index of Docnments Constituting the Record Before the San Bernardino
Common Council & Mayor on March 16, 2009: Agenda Item No. 24,
Appeal of the Planning Commission's Denial of Human Potential
Consultants' Application for Conditional Use Permit No. 08-21 (Appeal
No. 08-07).
In closing, Ms. Pole stated that the City has an undeniable homeless problem and
not nearly enough shelter beds to address the problem, and that the problem is
getting worse as the foreclosure pandemic deepens. She stated that HPC provides
a service that the City needs and the Planning Commission should not stand in the
way of this project. She added that Senate Bill 2 was passed to prevent situations
like this one. Ms. Pole advised that HPC was prepared to seek a writ of
administrative mandate if the Planning Commission's decision was upheld, which
would undoubtedly result in the expenditure of substantial time, effort and
expense by both HPC and the City that could be better spent serving the City's
homeless population.
Ms. Pole stated that this appeal presents important land use, housing policy and
homelessness prevention issues. She stated that it also presents the opportunity
for the City to be a leader on these issues, set an example for other cities and help
meet a stated goal to provide adequate emergency shelters for its underserved
homeless population. Ms. Pole requested that the Council overrule the Planning
Commission's decision and grant HPC's conditional use permit to operate an
emergency homeless shelter at the Sierra Way location. She noted that the
addition of this shelter, which would be housed in an already existing structure,
would not destroy the integrity or character of the area.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 2000-279, City Clerk Clark administered an oath to
the following individuals that they would provide true and honest testimony:
11
03/16/2009
Dr. Garnett Newcombe, CEO and Co-Founder of HPC, 500 E. Carson Plaza
Drive, Suite 127, Carson, CA, provided information regarding HPC's proposed
emergency homeless shelter such as location, potential residents, staff training,
funding sources, etc.
Dedra Norville, COO of HPC, answered questions posed by members of the
Council regarding referral and funding sources for this program. She stated that
violent offenders would not be accepted into the program, but they could be on
parole or probation.
William Long, 840 "D" Street, San Bernardino, CA, Treasurer and Member of
the Board of Directors of Option House, Inc., spoke in opposition to the proposed
homeless shelter.
Darlene Toole, speaking on behalf of Option House, Inc., read the following into
the record:
. A letter addressed to Mayor Patrick Morris from Protima Pandey,
Attorney At Law, Vice-President, Board of Directors, Option House,
Inc., dated March 11, 2009;
. A letter addressed to Mayor Patrick Morris from Velda Griffin, Executive
Director, Option House, Inc., dated March 12,2009.
Jay Lindberg, 6340 Orange Knoll, San Bernardino, CA, stated that there are a
lot of homeless people in the City and they need a facility.
C. Patience Summers, 868 E. Rialto, San Bernardino, CA, stated that the
proposed homeless shelter should not be allowed to move in next to Option
House.
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada stated that they had received a lot of
information and she was not ready to vote. She asked that the City Attorney's
Office review the matter further.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack made a motion, seconded by
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker, that the matter be continued to the
Council/Commission meeting of April 6, 2009, in order to allow further review
by the City Attorney's office. The motion carried unanimously with Kelley
