CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUFSI' FOR COUNCIL AC110N
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT:
QDC FACILITY TRUCK ROUTING PLAN FOR
CONDmONAL USE PERMIT (CUP) NO. 94-03
MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL MEETING OF
JULY 18, 1994
REOUE.I;TILOCA nON
The applicant requests approval of the Truck Routing Plan for CUP No. 94-03 (QDC Project).
(See Attachment 2, QDC Facility Truck Routing Plan)
The 21.1 acre project site is located about 680 feet north of Rialto Avenue and north of the
Pacific Electric Railroad right-of-way, south of the Metrolink mainline right-of-way and west
of Rancho Avenue in the CH land use designation. (See Attachment I, Site Vicinity and Land
Use Designation Map)
BACKGROUND
On May 16, 1994, the Mayor and Common Council approved CUP No. 94-03 along with
General Plan Amendment No. 94-01 and Parcel Map No. 14639. The conditional use permit
is to allow a bulk distribution services facility for the vacuum transfer of food grade pellets from
rail car to truck. The use includes two accessory uses - a site operations/truck wash facility and
a packaging facility. (Detailed background information is available in the May 16, 1994 Mayor
and Common Council Staff Report.)
KEY ISSUE-I;
There are several key issues identified as follows:
The Mayor and Common Council and the Planning Commission were concerned
that truck traffic generated by this project would combine with the truck traffic
from the nearby GM Auto Distribution Facility and result in routing conflicts.

As a result of these concerns, Condition of Approval No. 10 (for CUP No. 94-
03/PM No. 14639) was modified to require the review and approval of the Truck
Routing Plan by the Mayor and Common Council.
A revision to the traffic study for the OM Auto Distribution Facility made the
finding that the additional traffic generated by the QDC Project will not cause a
significant adverse impact on the area traffic circulation.
The City's Traffic Engineer concurs with the finding, subject to the Conditions
of Approval and Standard Requirements (for the QDC Project) relating to traffic
and circulation.
During the planning process for the OM Auto Distribution Facility, the City of
Colton expressed concerns regarding the high volume of trucks from that facility
using Pepper Avenue as the access route to the 1-10.
The City of Colton also submitted comments expressing their concern about
trucks from the QDC Project being routed on Rancho A venue south of Rialto
Avenue. Their comments did not include any concerns about use of Pepper
Avenue as part of the Truck Routing Plan for this project. .
The majority of truck traffic generated by the OM Auto Distribution Facility will
be traveling east on Mill Street to the 1-215 whereas the majority of truck traffic
from this project will be routed south on Rancho Avenue, west on Rialto Avenue
to Pepper Avenue and south to the 1-10.
The City of Colton has reviewed Truck Routing Plan for the QDC Project and
their comments are outlined in the following section.
The Truck Routing Plan was reviewed by the City of San Bernardino Public
Works Department. The Traffic Division determined that the proposed routes are
consistent with those utilized in the Traffic Study for the QDC Project. Their
conclusion is that the proposed routes are acceptable.
COMMENTS RECEIVED
As noted, the City received comments from the Mayor of the City of Colton on the Truck
Routing Plan. In his letter of lune 28, 1994, Mayor Frank Oonzales indicates that the City of
Colton is concerned about traffic on Pepper Avenue given the amount of development in the

QDC Project, the City of Colton is in agreement with the proposed Truck Routing Plan and has
no objection to the use of Pepper Avenue for QDC trucks. A copy of the letter is contained in
Attachment 3.

RE: Truck Routing Plan for General Plan Amendment No. 94-01,
Conditional Use Permit No. 94-03, and Parcel Map No. 14639
(ATSF Railway Company's QDC Project)
Dear Mr. Hays:
This letter will serve to clarify the position of the City of Colton with respect
to the above mentioned truck routing plan.
As stated in our letter to you dated June 21, 1994, the City of Colton is eon-
cerned with traffic on Pepper Avenue, given the various projects developing
within the area.
However, it is the City's position, that given the minim.1 truck traffic
specifically related to the QDC project, the City is in agreement with the pro-
posed truck routing plan referenced above and has no objection to the use of
Pepper Avenue as it currently exists, for QDC trucks.
Sincerely,
~-,
