Bernardino Public Works Department of a vacation of a portion of 2. !'QQ\TION The portion of Belleview Street to be vacated is located 280 feet east of the centerline of Mt. Vernon Avenue.' Belleview Street is already interrupted by elevated railroad tracks which block the street immediately to the west of the proposed street vacation. Belleview Street immediately to the east of the proposed vacation is zoned R-2, Two Family Residential, and is occupied by single family residences. Land to the west of the proposed street vacation is zoned M-2, General Industrial, and is vacant on the north side of Belleview Street. The south side of Belleview immediately to the west of the proposed vacation is used as a railroad storage yard. 3. GENERA!,_?~~~_~Q~fQE~N~~ The proposed project is in conformity with the General Plan in that it will not change any proposed land uses as indicated on the General Plan. Belleview Street is classified as a local street and as such is not intended to be a major thoroughfare; moreover, Belleview Street is already interrupted immediately to the west of the proposed street vacation. 4. CEQA_2'J.'b:!'!1P At its regularly scheduled meeting of September 10, 1987, the Environmental Review Committee recommended a Negative Declaration for Public Works 87-15. 5 . BACKG.BQ!lND The parcels immediately to the north and south of the proposed vacation are zoned M-2, General Industrial, as equipment and vehicle storage yards for a steel company. The Public Works Department initiated this proposed street vacation at the request of the owner of the steel company who intends to use the vacated area to increase the area of the company's storage yard. On September 8, 1987, the Common Council made the finding that Public Works Project 87-15 is necessary for the health and safety of the public. 75-0264 r- '-- /.'"

ANALXSIS The propsoed street vacation presents three issues for consideration: potential impacts on traffic circulation, compatibility with the neighborhood, and access to public utilities on the site in the event that repair or maintenance work is necessary. r~?!fic ~jJ~~lation Belleview Street is classified as a local street and is already interrupted by elevated railroad tracks immediately to the west of the proposed vacation. Therefore the street vacation will have no impact on traffic circulation in the area. Compatibility with the Neignp9JP99Q Although the neighborhood immediately to the east of the proposed street vacation consists of single family residences, the land immediately to the north and south of the proposed vacation is zoned M-2 General Industrial and is already used as storage and parking areas for a steel company. The M-2 district also extends to the west of the proposed vacation. A vacation of a portion of Belleview for the purpose of expanding an industrial parking and storage area is consistent with the zoning and General Plan designation of the area to the north, west and south. Any expansion of the industrial parking and storage area will be subject to a Review of Plans. A requirement to provide screening of the storage area, perhaps in the form of wooden slats in the chain link fence, might be required as a condition of approval in order to reduce the visual impact of the storage area on this adjacent residential neighborhood. Access ,19_ ?!lPJ.j.9_!J1j.LHj~p The City of San Bernardino will order to provide access to the site or in case maintenance work on necessary. retain easements in in case of emergency public utilities is 7. ~P~~~NrS RECEIVED The advanced Planning Section of the Planning Department commented that Belleview is a local street and is not a major part of the circulation element as shown on the General Plan Map.

CONq,!1.QJ9~1 The proposed street vacat10n will not have any impact on traffic circulation in the area nor will it prevent access to any public utilities. The proposal 1S consistent with the zoning and General Plan designation of the area. The Development Review CommIttee will have the option of requiring screening between the site and the adjacent residential neighborhood. No objections to the proposal were made by any of the City Departments or outside agencies that were contacted. The proposal will have no adverse impacts on the immediate neighborhood nor on the city as a whole. 9. RECOM!1~MJA'l'I9Ji1 It i,s recommended that the Mayor and Common Council: 1.
