Dear Mayor and Council.
CITY PLANNiNG iE;, :'.TMt~lT
SAN BERNAROU~O, CA
Please accept this letter as a posltlve.yet strong appeal fo a decision made by
the Planning Department on May 6. 19B7. rejectin9 our request for a zone change.
Our request wa9 made because of Dur intentiDn to build a three-unit apartment building
at 3914 Severence Avenue.
As a strong point in support of our appeal. we would like to introduce ourselves
as co-authors of this letter. I. Chuck Pettersen. have lived in San Bernadino for twenty-
five years. I attended local colleges and have been a teacher and coach for the San
Bernardino City School system for twenty years. I have been head football coach at
Cajon High School for the past seventeen years. and Athletic Director the past two
years. David Day has been a teacher and coach in San Bernardino for over fifteen
years. as well as being actively involved in several local businesses. We think it is
safe to say that the major portion Df our productive lives has been dedicated to youth
and positive San Bernardino growth.
We think you can see that Dur intentiDn is not that of an Dutside developer coming
in and building hundrads of possibly unwanted and unsightly apartment units. We are
simply trying to improve our financial positiDn for some time in the future when w,e
will no longer be serving the people of San Bernardino in a field that does not in itself
produce the m09t comfortable retirement.
In November of 19B6. we purchased a piece of prDperty at 39 14 Severence Avenue.
Our intention was to rent the existing house and eventually build a triplex at the back
of the property. Prior to the purchase. we went to the planning commission to find
out if we could obtain the necessary zDning. We were tDld that the master general
plan called for R-3. multiple family residential. Since every lot to the north. all the
way to 40th Street. was already R-3 (see transparency prDvided), and the two lots
to our immediate south already had apartments, we did not feel that there would be
any problem. In addition. three lots to our north was an existing eight unit apartment
complex. At this point. we felt it was safe to expect that after paying the required
$450.00 and submitting the necessary paperwork. our fine City on the Move would
grant uS the R-3 zoning we needed. This is nDt said with any facetiousness intended:
we truely believe that San Bernardino i9 a fine city on its way to the top.
The Planning Department's primary reason for denial on Dur zone change request
was due to a substandard. narrow street with too congested entrance from 40th Street.
Our response to that is simple: it probably needs to be fixed. In fact. we believe that
it is already in the near future plan to widen 40th Street from the congested area around
Mt. View Avenue (where the old shopping center is being renovated) to Kendall Drive.
It seems to us that with this future plan, and with the curb installation and widenin.g
of the street at our property location when we build the triplex, Severance Avenue
will be drastically improved.
c
o
J
J
We would like to add that across 40th Street and east a few yards from Severance
is a straet called Lorraine Drive. This particular street is at least ten feet narrower
than Severance. yet has many apartment and condominium units on it. It is also a
dead end street, meaning that congestion there is a far greater concern.
It also seems to us that the function of the Environmental Committee is to be
sure that problems will not result from zone changing and increased building. The
Environmental qommittee did approve our request by saying there would be no
significant effects.
In conclusion. we would like to ask that the Council give as much consideration
to our appeal as possibll;l, keeping in mind that hard work and IDgic are Dur primary
motivating factors.

OBSERVATIONS ~~~~?::~1~~:7-L6/87
~ ~GE 2
"'\
1. The requested zone change from R-1-7200 to R-3-3000 is
in conformance with the General Plan designation for the
site. The.29 acre site is on the west side of Severance
Avenue, one lot north of 39th Street.
2. Zoning from the site and surrounding area includes R-3-
3000 to the north, and R-1-7200 for the subject site and
the areas south, east, and west.
3. Existing land uses include single-family and multiple
family residential uses. The single family homes are
well kept with the exception of two which have illegally
converted to a duplex and a triplex. A newer apartment
complex exists to the north. The remaining dwellings
appear to be well established single-family residences.
4. Access to the site is over 39th Street to Severance
Avenue. Both streets are substandard in that they are
narrow and have no curbs or gutter. The paved width of
Severance Avenue is approximately 25 feet. Dirt and
gravel shoulders lead to front property lines. The
intersection to the north, 40th Street and Severance
Avenue, is congested. There is poor vehicular visi-
bility from Severance Avenue onto 40th Street.
5. The purpose of the request is for future addition of two
or three units to the rear of the single-family home
which occupies the lot. To increase the density of
residential use on this narrow, hazardous street is not
in the interest of the welfare of the neighboring
residents.
6. In a memorandum from the Councilman of the Ward, Coun-
cilman Maudsley, the recommendation received was for
denial based on incompatibility with existing homes and
extreme traffic congestion in the area.
7. The Environmental Review Committee determined that there
were no significant effects and recommended adoption of
a Negative Declaration for environmental impact.

E. DETERMINATION
On the hasis of this initial cva]uat ion,
~ Wp find the proposed project COULD NOT have a signif icant effect on the
environment and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be preparec.. I
0 We Ilod that although the proposed project could have a significant
e f fee t on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in
this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached shee t
\ have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATlO;, WILL BE PREP ArZED.
OWe find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environ-
ment., and an ENVIRONMENTAL UIPACT REPORT is required.
