OF SAN BERNARDlttO - REQUEt>> ~~ FOR COUNCIL ACT~"N STAFF REPORT Standard Requirement No. 11, relating to the under- grounding of utilities by new developments, was revised by adoption of Resolution No. 87-189 on 6-15-87. This resolution expanded and clarified the intent of the requirements to under- ground utilities. Several appeals were filed as a result of the more stringent requirements. In order to alleviate the opposition to the conditions imposed by this resolution, direction was given at the Council Meeting of 9-21-87 for a revision to be prepared that would limit the impact of the requirement to underground utilities, by setting criteria on minimum area, proposed use, and relationship to the valuation of the development. Also, that it be legally defensible. A revision was prepared However, due to the time required the Legislative Review Committee, not adopted until 3-08-88. pursuant to this directive. for preparation and review by the Resolution No. 88-65 was At the Legislative Review Committee meeting of 11-17-88, a recommendation was made that the effective date of the revisions be set retroactive to 1-1-88. This recommendation was based upon the inordinate amount of time needed for preparation review and adoption of the revised requirements. By making the effective date retroactive to the first of the year would adjust the time from the date the directive was issued until implementation of the revised requirement, more in line with normal practice. The attached resolution sets the effective date of the resolution limiting the impact of the requirement to underground utili ties as of 1-1-88. We recommend that this resolution be approved. 11-17-88 75-0264 ~.--- 1 RESOLUTION NO. 2 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE RETROACTIVELY TO JANUARY 1, 1988, FOR STANDARD 3 REQUIREMENT NO. 11, RELATING TO REVISED REQUIREMENT FOR UNDER- GROUNDING UTILITIES. 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 11/17/88 28 WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, Resolution No. 88-65, adopting Standard Re~ quirement No. 11 was adopted on March 8, 1988; and WHEREAS, Resolution No. 88-65 was adopted pursuant to a directive issued at the Council meeting of September 21, 1987; and WHEREAS, an inordinate amount of time was required to prepare and adopt this resolution; and WHEREAS, it is desired to set an effective date retro- actively to January 1, 1988, in order to reduce the time for preparation and review to approximate the normal practice; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
