'�ornc Concerns Received on June 18, 2012 �.. Project will bring low-income housing The proposed TD Overlay does not have any provisions to mandate, require or facilitate new low-income housing. The proposed TD Overlay does not allow any new residential, multi- family residential or other residential uses where not currently allowed. Uses deemed nonconforming; will they have to Existing uses deemed nonconforming may continue to do business close business? with no date to be removed. If a business moves or vacates the property, a business owner has up to three (3) years (36 or more calendar months) to re-establish a new business in the space once used by a nonconforming use. The TD Overlay expands the number of permitted uses to allow more pedestrian oriented uses such as: Convenience stores, Dry cleaners, Educational services, Mobile vendors, Neighborhood grocery stores, and Parking structures. Concern about requiring existing shopping The proposed subsection (Section 19.19A.080 F.) has been centers with parking out in the front to push the amended to replace the word "shall" with the word "should" to parking in back of buildings. The police will not allow the option for parking to be designed at the front of be able to see in the back of the building. In commercial properties. (Reference TD Draft Ordinance(Redline)— addition, there was a concern with Stepback's Attachment Al) requirement. Staff is recommending that proposed subsection (Section 19.19A.070 (Residential Transition Standards) has been amended to replace the word "shall" with the word "should" to allow the option for a Stepback to be part of a building design. Other issues, separate from the proposed TD Overlay Ordinance, related to spending objections on spending City funds on sbX project, concerns with not addressing existing business issues during the construction of the sbX, existing bus ridership and use of Measure I and other funds. In addition, concerns were raised about whether or not there were sufficient funds for the sbX project to be completed. Staff is following up with Omnitrans construction Planning Manager in addressing the concerns related to noise, construction complaints, and possible funding issues raised during the hearing about sbX. During all of the neighborhood meetings held for the TD Overlay, staff did make sure that representatives from Omnitrans were present to address concerns voiced by those in attendance at the meeting. Staff anticipates a letter from Omnitrans that will address the current funding status of the sbX project and a list of complaints filed with Omnitrans to date. On June 26, 2012 the City received Omnitrans response to the City's concerns (see Attachment P). To address Measure I funds, staff prepared a memorandum pertaining to when the law was passed and extended, where in the law does it limit expenditures, which was established as the authority to make expenditures and what can be spent as allowed by the voters. Finally, the memorandum covers local authorities' roles with Measure I funds(Attachment N). . Background: Development Code Amendment (DCA) No. 12-01 is a proposal to amend Chapter 19.02, Basic `\.✓ Updated:6/2812012 by Shirley Robinson AH PacketPg.503 1546 Provisions, to add Transit Overlay District (TD) and add Section 19.19A, Transit Overlay District to provide a regulatory framework for Transit Oriented Development (TOD) in the form of development standards and design guidelines around future transit stops (Attachment A). Transit Overlay District (TD): The City has developed a set of zoning regulations surrounding thirteen(13) future transit stations that fall within the designated overlay district. The regulations are accompanied by a set of development standards and design guidelines that are flexible enough to allow property owners and developers to express their vision while maintaining a consistency in urban form to encourage an attractive multi-modal atmosphere. The TD zoning regulations would apply to the establishment of all new structures and uses within the boundaries of the 13 Bus Rapid Transit(BRT) station areas and future downtown multi-modal transit center. The City would maintain the existing land use and zoning designations of the affected parcels in place under the proposed project.New development standards include but are not limited to: • New build-to-line setback requirements to allow buildings to be placed closer to street frontage with parking at the rear of the site along designated street areas; • Building heights are set differently within each proposed transit stop type with upper story step-back requirements and two story maximum building heights when adjacent to single- family residential zone; • Building ground floor transparency percentage requirements added by transit station area; • Building entrance orientation requirements set for building's main entrance to face Kendall Drive and E Street frontages; residential transition standards when projects are adjacent to single-family residential are set to maximum of two stories or 30 feet; • Reduced on-site parking requirements are provided to encourage the use of the adjacent transit district facility; • One bicycle parking space provided for every 10 automobile parking spaces provided; • Street block maximum lengths,with some minor exceptions,reduced to 400 feet; and • General design guidelines with residential and commercial site planning, architectural design, parking design requirements, and street sidewalk landscape recommendations. An addition to Section 19.19A.040 General Provisions includes new subsection "D" Public Facilities. This section was added to address the unique use of parks, transit station and centers, and other public facilities. In this section, The Planning Center mentions school districts which are already exempt from the City Development Code requirements by State Law. However, it is mentioned as an example of unique public facility. A similar exemption within the Development Code relates to certain signs installed by recognized civic group, flags, ATM kiosk sign and official &legal notices by a court or government agency. The specific language added to the TD Ordinance reads as follows: Updated:6/28/2012 by Shirley Robinson AH Packet Pg. 504 1546 "D. Public Facilities. Public facilities such as parks, public schools, and transit centers and stations, and other public facilities due to their unique use and special function may deviate from the provisions of this chapter upon approval of a Design Review Development Permit." The other revisions are minor in nature made by the City Attorney's office to clarify the organization of the proposed "Design Guidelines," cleaning the language up with grammar edits or adding clarifying words, and adding the "Development Review Committee" as an approving body in addressing Interpretations in Section G19.19A.100 C. of the draft TD Overlay Ordinance. Draft Transit District Overlay Ordinance: Attachment-1 of Attachment J, the Draft Ordinance, includes the proposed TD Overlay Ordinance for review.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) An Addendum with Mitigation Measures and Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Plan to the previously certified City of San Bernardino 2005 General Plan Update (SBGPU EIR) and Associated Specific Plans Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2004111132, has been prepared. It serves as the environmental review for the proposed Transit Overlay District (TD) zoning designation and associated development standards and design guidelines for areas surrounding the City's transit stations (proposed project). The TD and its regulations are proposed in order to implement the City's General Plan policies promoting transit-oriented development. This draft Addendum with Mitigation Measures and Mitigation Monitoring(Reporting Plan is the result of an evaluation of the proposed project in relation to the previously prepared and certified EIR. The evaluation, contained in the addendum, determined that the proposed project does not contain changes and/or additional details that wan-ant a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR as described in Sections 15162 and 15163 of the CEQA Guidelines. Upon completion of the Addendum, the City of San Bernardino has determined on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record that the proposed project does not trigger additional CEQA Review. (Attachment F). ANALYSIS Public Outreach: There have been two public outreach efforts prior to drafting of the proposed TD ordinance. The first public outreach effort consisted of two community open house meetings held on June 15 and 16, 2011. All of the transit district station areas were considered in these noticed public meeting. The approach and summary findings are below: Open House included three public outreach stations: The Community Meetings solicited public feedback by providing a looping PowerPoint presentation for participants to view; • Preference Survey of development types (density and commercial types) was administered; and • Station Map Boards were provided to solicit input within the identified stations Updated:6/28/2012 by Shirley Robinson AH Packet Pg. 508 1546 throughout the 15.7 mile Bus Rapid Transit(BRT) route that extends between the City of f San Bernardino(13 Transit Stops) and Loma Linda(3 Stops). Final Report by Arellano and Associates concluded "as a whole the comments received during the community meetings indicate that the community has a deep desire to see the City improved and enhanced. Respondents would like more amenities and enhancements and a higher and better mix of uses including a variety of neighborhood serving retail uses. Based on the results of the Preference Survey, the respondents have a desire to see higher-density developments. A number of well-informed meeting attendees did share their enthusiasm for the higher-density developments and related improvements associated with transit-oriented developments as a solution to improving the City of San Bernardino." The detailed final report is available online for review at the Community Development Department's Planning Division TOD webpage: http•//www ci san-bernardino ca us/civica/filebank/blobdload.asp?BloblD=12551>. The second approach comprised of neighborhood community meetings. The property owners and registered business owners within and adjacent to the preliminary transit district boundaries were notified of the meeting held at local community facilities or schools. In addition, local churches, neighborhood watch groups, local Rotary Chapter, Indian Tribes, and Neighborhood Cluster Associations were notified of the meetings. The neighborhood meetings were held for each of the proposed TD Overlay boundaries. The 13 TD Overlay areas include: 1. Palm Ave./Kendall Drive; 2.University and Northpark; 3. Kendall Drive and Little Mountain Drive; 4. Kendall Drive and Shandin Hills; 5. E Street and Marshall Blvd.; 6. E Street and Highland Ave.; 7.E Street and Baseline; 8. E Street and Court Lane; 9. E Street and Rialto; 10. E Street and North Mall Way; 11. Hunts Lane and Hospitality Lane; 12. Carnegie Drive and Hospitality Lane; and 13. Tippecanoe Ave. and Hospitality Lane. On May 24 and June 7, 2012, staff rescheduled and held two neighborhood meetings. Staff provided handouts clarifying location of proposed TD Overlay boundaries with a table explaining what is currently permitted and disallowed in commercial zones and what the proposed TD Overlay is proposing to permit and disallow at both meetings. The handouts appeared to clarify concerns about permitted uses in their neighborhood. In addition, at both meetings the audience was able to ask questions about sbX project presently in construction from Omnitrans Transit Agency staff representatives. The planning handouts are available online for review at Community Development Department's Planning Division TOD webpage: http://www.ci.san- . bernardino.ca.us/citvhall/community development/planning/transit oriented development 1 tod .as >. O Updated:6/28/2012 by Shirley Robinson AH Packet Pg. 509 1546 The comments received from the participants of the neighborhood meetings were considered in the drafting of the proposed Transit District (TD) Boundaries. The proposed TD Boundaries have been developed to address the many concerns received during the public outreach efforts. This includes excluding any R-1 zone(Attachments E and G). Staff used a V4 mile distance from the bus rapid transit location in reducing the preliminary draft boundaries shown at the neighborhood meetings (September 29, 2011; October 24,2011; November 9 and 30,2011; May 24,2012; and June 7, 2012). In addition, the comments received from the participants of the neighborhood meetings were considered in the drafting of the proposed text amendment. The proposed development standards and design guidelines have been developed to address the many concerns received during the public outreach efforts. In addition, the proposed TD Overlay does include the changes outlined in the table within the "Background" section of this staff report. The amendments are included in Section 19.19A.080 F (Parking) and Section 19.19A.040, Table 19A.01 (General Provisions) of the draft TD Overlay Code. Please reference Attachment 1 of Attachment J for changes to the proposed TD Overlay Code. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed Development Code Amendment would provide an update to the Development Code to provide for future transit supportive land use throughout the City consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies: Policy 2.4.6: "Work with Omnitrans to explore initiatives that promote redevelopment near I transit stops in order to encourage transit ridership, reduce vehicular trips, improve air quality, and improve traffic congestion." Goal 6.6: "Promote a network of multi-modal transportation facilities that are safe, efficient, and connected to various points of the City and the region." Policy 6.6.1: "Support the efforts of regional, state and federal agencies to provide additional local and express bus service in the City." Policy 6.6.2: "Create a partnership with Omnitrans to identify public transportation infrastructure needs that improve mobility. Policy 6.6.3: "In cooperation with Omnitrans, require new development to provide transit facilities, such as bus shelters and turnouts, as necessary and wan-anted by the scale of the development" Policy 6.6.4: "Ensure accessibility to public transportation for seniors and persons with disabilities. Policy 6.6.5: "In cooperation with Omnitrans, explore methods to improve the use, speed, and efficiency for transit services." Updated:6/28/2012 by Shirley Robinson AH PacketPg. 510 1546 Policy 6.6.6: "Support and encourage the provision of a range of paratransit opportunities to complement bus and rail service for specialized transit needs." � Policy 6.6.10: "Consider the provision of incentives, such as reduced parking standards and density/intensity bonuses, to those projects near transit stops that include transit-friendly uses such as child care,convenience retail and housing. Policy 6.7.2: "Coordinate with SANBAG, SCAG, the County and other regional, state or federal agencies and the railroads regarding plans for the provision of passenger, commuter, and high- speed rail service. 2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City. The proposed amendment would assist in improving economic mobility from new transit service, improve air quality by reducing automobile trips and their carbon emissions, increase housing choices, assist in the affordability of housing, and provide walking and biking health benefits for residents throughout the City that will promote public health and safety. The proposed transit overlay district would bring many benefits and convenient community life for residents and the City including and not limited to: Economic: • Increase property value-would revitalize the area within % mile of the station. C • Decrease infrastructure costs -would reduce infrastructure costs due to compact and infill development that can use existing capacity and would not use as much capacity as auto based development. • Reduce household spending-would reduce auto,parking and travel costs Environmental: • Improve air quality and energy consumption - would decrease auto trips lead to lower emissions. • Conservation of land and open space - would be compact developments and therefore, consume less land than lower-intensity, auto-oriented development. • Decrease congestion-would decrease driving resulting in reduced congestion. Social: • Increase housing and employment choices - would provide a diversity of housing and employment types in conveniently close proximity to the transit station. • Health benefits-would provide more opportunities for walking and bicycling. • Enhance sense of community - would bring more people and businesses closer in a pedestrian environment. Allowing the proposed amendment for Transit Overlay District will serve the public interest and convenience,and would not be detrimental to public health, safety,or general welfare.

Purpose and Intent.The following design guidelines are intended to direct the v physical design of building sites,architecture,and landscape elements located E within the City's Transit Overlay District(TD).This comprehensive approach represents a more understandable and predictable role in shaping each TD's E physical future by emphasizing community form,architectural typologies,and Q landscape design that reinforce traditional and modem development patterns.In the Downtown,Village/Urban Center,and Employment Center o U station areas,contemporary architecture that has a strong pedestrian orientation,visual interest on the ground floor,quality long lasting materials, E human scale,and articulated facades are also encouraged.The guidelines are p_ intended to complement the mandatory TD development regulations contained in this chapter by providing design solutions and interpretations of the mandatory regulations. ❑ I Applicability.The guidelin es r— "'--�-`t,..,�.�'�- "^^shall apply to all a development within the TD districts.Any addition,remodeling,relocation,or construction requiring a building permit within the TD districts_that is subject to review by the Development Review Committee shall adhere to these `r guidelines where applicable.Unless there is a compelling reason,these o guidelines shall be followed.If a guideline is waived by the Development 5 Review Committee,the Mayor and Common Council shall be notified.An tr ! appeal,which does not require a fee,may be filed by the Mayor and Common Council person within 15 days of the waiver approval. L Interpretation.Compliance with a design guideline written as a"should"is j discretionary.A design guideline written with an action verb(e.g.,provide, fOI use,locate,create,establish,employ)is highly recommended.Using these Z terms are important,but may be waived or modified by the Development Review Committee based upon an alternative deemed acceptable through the ❑ design review process. D. Architectural Typology.The design guidelines for architectural typologies v contained in this section(i.e.,Courtyard Housing,Row houses,Live/Work Units,Stacked Flats,Mixed Use,and Office)are not all inclusive.Other S v architectural typologies may also be appropriate for other permitted uses as O listed in the Ddevelopment Geode. m O O 2] H a E E U A Q C d E L U `f° a V 6.F.a ATTACHMENT Al 4t9.19A.110 District Image The intent of this section is to establish a design framework for the development, enhancement,and preservation of San Bernardino Transit Overlay Districts,based upon traditional planning and urban design patterns,historical precedents,and N sustainability principles that ultimately drive the physical form of each district. 0 The over arching community vision for Transit Overlay Districts originates from a Z desire to create compact pedestrian-oriented environments consistent with m traditional transit oriented development principles which advocate: E v c t.

Z Transit oriented development is intended to v maximize access to mass transit amenities with E a centrally located transit stations commonly � m surrounded by relatively high-intensity E commercial,office,and residential development.In general,successful transit Q oriented districts are well-used and well-loved people places,enriched by a dynamic mix of land uses,defined street-adjacent architecture,and comfortable urban spaces. U Transit oriented districts are highly permeable,composed of an extensive network of transit modes that physically and visually link to the greater community,encouraging E enhanced connectivity that ultimately embraces transit ridership. a 0 The essence of a sustainable transit district is found in an integrated system of i commercial,residential,employment,and recreation uses coupled with a diversity of p alternative circulation/transportation features that knit the district together in an integrated and holistic fashion.The goal is a low-carbon district with a sense of place, to ! concentration of activities coupled with urban spaces,and efficient architecture where daily life can unfold. • Create a density gradient,locating the highest ` o intensity/density land uses closest to transit T stations,transitioning outward to lower intensity/density uses. —. • Locate pedestrian and transit-friendly � commercial activities at the ground level, office and residential above where supported `oI ! by the market.Use ground-floor storefront Z windows to enliven the street by providing visual interest that encourages people to walk ❑ w and take transit. K • Provide civic amenities and urban open space uses within transit districts designed to serve transit users and residents. v O O 29 � Q c E E Z U A Q C d E U U R a ATTACHMENT Al • Develop a hierarchy of street designs that vary in modal emphasis,providing a balanced transportation system that accommodates transit,automobiles, c bicyclists,and pedestrians. N • Intensify building masses at comers to Z accommodate pedestrian generating uses that enhance ridership ` i'. E • Locate primary building entrances facing the public street,with clear connections c to the adjacent sidewalk,ensuring pleasant and simple access for pedestrians. E Q • Provide a pedestrian-scaled street network composed of a dense grid of streets with short,direct connections between land uses and transit amenities.Provide U connections to local and regional multiuse paths and trails that encourage longer walking and bicycle trips Improving accessibility for transit users. y E • Configure parking to be unobtrusive by orienting parking away from the p pedestrian realm,behind buildings,in structures,or underground.Utilize on- street parking,where feasible,to reduce off-street parking requirements, providing parking opportunities to adjacent retail and service uses. ., • Combine traditional ground-floor storefront commercial facilities at comer transit stop locations,enhancing"trip chaining"—performing one or more emand on the �- same trip. a c • Promote an interconnected street network and the use of short blocks(two to 0 N five net acres)to increase vehicular and pedestrian route choice,thus enhancing '> connectivity,reducing trip length and vehicular greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions. • Promote tight urban blocks that are not dominated by large surface parking areas,reducing convection losses and heat gains as adjacent buildings protect r' one another from the wind and sun. • Use street trees to modify the climate in a passive way(absorbing rather that Z reflecting heat energy,leaving opposed to the use of tacked-on architectural o "green-bling." w K • Create high-performance,energy-efficient buildings and infrastructure.

Architectural Design and Image.The p San Bernardino Transit Overlay District architectural image is born N out of a desire to create enduring and human-scaled expressions rooted in the traditional architectural e v c heritage of the region.This o traditional architectural image Ln typically fosters a people-oriented w of environment characterized by a a variety of building designs that frame and define the public streetscape. All elements of architecture were traditionally constructed of highly durable col materials,defined by a discernible base,middle,and top that add architectural W rhythm to the streetscape.Composed of both modern interpretations and z traditional architectural precedents,architecture should be defined by cultural —� influences,graced by indigenous materials,and constructed with the time- w honored design principles of mass,scale,and rhythm.The following most common architectural typologies are defined for the TD:courtyard housing, now houses,stacked flats,live-work units,mixed-use,and office buildings.The guidelines do not preclude variations in these types of development or other residential and non-residential products to be built.Ultimately,the purpose is -° to avoid superficial"franchise style"architecture in favor of a more traditional architectural image that embraces enjoyable life on the street. m O 32 r Q c E ' E U U N Q ' C d E U U N Q Packet Pg.545. 6:F.a ATTACHMENT Al t) Courtyard Housing.Courtyard �. > �^ housing is defined by multi-story building masses containing individual dwelling units that commonly 0 enclose a centralized outdoor private N courtyard space oftentimes containing formal gardens and Z decorative pavers. c Courtyard housing consists of: E c • Two to four story building masses that frame and define the public E streetscape.

Introduction E a c d 1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE Q This document is an Addendum to the previously certified City of San Bernardino General Plan Update and v Associated Specific Plans Environmental Impact Report(SBGPU EIR)(State Clearinghouse No.2004111132 u and Mayor and Common Council Resolution No. 2005-362). It serves as the environmental review for the proposed Transit Overlay District (TD) zoning designation and associated development standards and design guidelines for areas surrounding the cities transit stations.The TD and its regulations are proposed in a order to implement the City's General Plan policies promoting transit-oriented development within San m Bernardino and apply to 13 individual transit stations along the San Bernardino bus rapid transit(sbX BRT) m corridor. The corridor spans approximately 15 miles between Loma Linda to the south and northern San Bernardino (Palm Street/Kendall Drive)to the north. v This Addendum has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code Section 21000 at seq., and the State CEQA Guidelines. Pursuant to "' CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines,the City of San Bernardino(City)is the Lead Agency charged with the o responsibility of deciding whether or not to approve the requested action. As part of the decision-making 2 process,the City is required to review and consider the potential environmental effects that could resultfrom implementation of the proposed project. w �•.. 1.2 PURPOSE OF AN ADDENDUM D o_ 1.2.1 CEQA Requirements m cn Pursuant to CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines and the City's CEQA Guidelines, the City's review of the Zr proposed project focuses on project modifications that could change the conclusions of the SBGPU EIR, r and also any change in circumstances or new information of substantial importance that would substantially d change the conclusions of the SBGPU EIR. o Pursuantto Section 21166 of CEOA and Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines,when an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted fora project,no subsequent EIR or negative declaration shall be m prepared for the project unless the lead agency determines that one or more of the following conditions are v met: ¢ LL • Substantial project changes are proposed that will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration duetothe involvementof new significant environmental effects orasubstantial m increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; E U • Substantial changes would occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is a undertaken that require major revisions to the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of E previously identified significant effects; or m Addendum to San Bernardino General Plan Update EIR City of San Bernardino •Page 1 f 1. Introduction • New information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with N the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified or the negative declaration was adopted shows any of the following: z6 A. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative m declaration. E c v B. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than identified in the E previous EIR. m a 0 C. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, U and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project m proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives. E a 0 D. Mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment,but m 0 the project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives. a Preparation of an Addendum to an EIR is appropriate when none of the conditions specified in Section 15162 (above) are present, and where some minor technical changes to the previously certified EIR are N necessary. C 0 After careful consideration of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project,the City of San Bernardino has determined that none of the conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent or supplement to an EIR have occurred and that an Addendum to the previously certified SBGPU EIR is the appropriate environmental clearance for the proposed project.This Addendum reviews the changes proposed by the w project and any changes to the existing conditions that have occurred since the SBGPU EIR was certified. It also reviews any new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been cn known with exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the SBGPU EIR was certified. It further examines N whether, as a result of any changes or any new information, a subsequent EIR may be required. This d examination includes an analysis of the provisions of Section 21166 of CEQA and Section 15162 of the State 2 CEQA Guidelines and their applicability to the proposed project. d U This Addendum relies on use of the attached Environmental Analysis, which addresses environmental ° checklist issues section by section. It also includes analysis of certain impacts that were not analyzed in the E SBGPU EIR.The additional analyses are appropriate for inclusion in the Addendum due to updates in the CEQA Guidelines, but none resulted in new or increased impacts that would require preparation of a m subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 of the Guidelines. The City of San Bernardino Environmental Checklist Form has been completed by the City and included in Section 4. The checklist includes findings as to the environmental effects of the proposed project in d comparison with the findings of the SBGPU EIR. E r u 1.3 PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION « Q This Addendum relies on the environmental analysis in the SBGPU EIR,which was prepared to address the c environmental impacts associated with the General Plan Update and related actions including the University District Specific Plan and the Arrowhead Springs Specific Plan.The public review period forthe SBGPU EIR was from July 25,2005 to September 8,2005.The San Bernardino City Council certified the SBGPU EIR on November 5,2005,and adopted the General Plan Update and associated General Plan elements and land a Page 2 •The Planning Center Jarman 2012 Packet Pg. 608 6.F.g 1. Introduction use plan.The land use designations denoted on the land use plan and the City's zoning map are one and ° the same, as the land use plan was the basis for establishing the zoning designations. 6 This Addendum incorporates by reference all or portions of the SBGPU EIR and the technical/planning Z documents that relate to the proposed project or provide additional information concerning the environmental setting of the proposed project. The information disclosed in this Addendum is based on .o and/or incorporates by reference the following technical/planning documents: E • City of San Bernardino General Plan and Municipal Code w a 0 • City of San Bernardino Noise Ordinance(Chapter 8.54,Noise Control,of the City of San Bernardino U Municipal Code) E • City of San Bernardino General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report o v • sbX E Street Corridor BRT Project Environmental Assessment/Initial Study p • Transit Overlay District Zoning Standards and Guidelines (Appendix A) N These documents are available for review at the City of San Bernardino Community Development N Department, 300 North D Street, 3rd Floor, San Bernardino, California 92408. C 0 > 1.4 SCOPE OF SUBSEQUENT ANALYSIS ^, T The discretionary approval subject to CEOA is the approval of proposed changes to the San Bernardino ' Development Code.Specifically,the project is the proposed Transit Overlay District(TD)zoning designation w and associated development standards and design guidelines for areas surrounding the City's transit a stations. The "scope" of the review for project-related impacts for this Addendum is limited to changes c1 between the original project(San Bernardino General Plan Update and Associated Specific Plans),and the y requested modifications to the City's Development Code. v w As described in the 2005 General Plan Update,the City of San Bernardino's Development Code(Title 19 of r the San Bernardino Municipal Code)was adopted in May 1991 and has been periodically revised since that u time.In particular,the General Plan Land Use Element establishes the primary basis for consistency with the ° City's Development Code.The City's zoning map corresponds with the General Plan land use designations. E One or more of the zoning districts established in the City's Development Code corresponds to each of the v General Plan land use designations. Since the General Plan land use designations and zoning under the c Development Code are consistent (as substantiated in the Appendix 0,Zoning Consistency Matrix, of the General Plan Update), by analyzing the proposed land use designations and allowable land uses,the EIR prepared for the 2005 General Plan Update also analyzed the potential impacts of the Development Code. LL Moreover, the SBGPU EIR was prepared as a program EIR and it explicitly anticipated that it would be d utilized for subsequent activities implementing the goal and policies of the 2005 General Plan Update, E including incorporation of "new provisions of the General Plan into the Development Code" (Executive Summary, page 1-4). .2 The previously certified environmental documentation and related approved mitigation for impacts associated with the SBGPU EIR serve as the "baseline" for the environmental impact analysis for the E proposed TO overlay and related development standards and design guidelines. The CEOA project, u therefore, is the difference between this baseline and the proposed TO overlay. Section 3, Project Description,of this Addendum details the proposed TO overlay and the differences between existing zoning a within the transit station areas and the proposed overlay and development standards.

Project Description E d 3.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND E d Over the past decade,the City of San Bernardino(City)and its partners,which include Omnitrans and the o San Bernardino Association of Governments(SANBAG),have made consistent progress in establishing the c) foundation for expanded transit and transit-oriented development(TOD)opportunities.The City's approach m has been comprehensive and well integrated with the local land use context and transit systems, with E numerous studies and plans on expanding local and regional bus,bus rapid transit,light rail,and Metrolink o facilities completed or underway. One of these plans includes the sbX E Street Corridor Bus Rapid Transit Project (sbX BRT Project), which is being sponsored and implemented by Omnitrans and SANBAG, in d 0 coordination with the City. The environmental impacts of the sbX Project were fully analyzed in an •• Environmental Assessment/Initial Study(SCH#2008091107)prepared in June of 2009 by Parsons on behalf of Omnitrans,which is included by reference in this Addendum. In coordination with the City,Omnitrans is in the process of developing detailed construction schedules for c the station and roadway improvements necessary to implement the sbX BRT Project, which consists of a 15.7-mile corridorthat spans between northern San Bernardino and Loma Linda.The proposed transit route would begin in the vicinity of Palm Avenue and Kendall Drive in northern San Bernardino and terminate in the \.. vicinity of the Veterans Administration Hospital located at Barton Road and Benton Street in Loma Linda.The sbX BRT Project will include 16 art-inspired transit stations at key university, government, business, w entertainment and medical centers as well as four park-and-ride facilities Improved rapid transit along the a project corridor will help Omnitrans achieve its long-range goals to cost effectively enhance lifeline mobility 0 and accessibility;improve transit operations;support economic growth and redevelopment;conserve non- y renewable resources; and improve corridor safety. The sbX BRT Project will be completed in 2,000-foot segments, with construction anticipated to take two 'C w years and service anticipated to commence in early 2014(Omnitrans 2011).Once completed, it will be the 0 first express bus service project to be constructed in the Inland Empire. E The potential for TOD at sbX station areas draws on TOD principles that focus on compact growth,a mix of 'a land uses, and pedestrian-oriented design within walking distance of a transit station.The potential for the a area proximate to the forthcoming sbX stations to reach higher concentrations of development than their R surroundings is dependent primarily on the planned land use and zoning designations around the stations. The improved transit services proposed under the sbX BRT Project would provide the City opportunities for TOD and transit-supportive uses in the station areas. m E 3.2 PROJECTPURPOSE While the planning,design and construction of the transit facilities are largely the responsibility of Omnitrans Q and SANBAG, the City is responsible for establishing complementary land use and regulatory plans, standards and guidelines forthe station areas and surrounding neighborhoods and businesses.The TD and E its regulations are established in order to implement the City's General Plan policies promoting transit- oriented development within the City.The intent of the TD is to allow and encourage an appropriate mix and Q intensity of land uses in a compact pattern around transit stations that will foster transit usage,create new opportunities for economic growth, encourage infill and redevelopment, reduce dependency on the Addendum to San Bernardino General Plan Update EIR City of San Bernardino •Page 45 Packet Pg. 651 3. Project Description automobile,improve air quality,and promote high quality, interactive neighborhoods.The regulations and ° N guidelines are based upon the following principles: 0 A. An attractive transit station with surrounding pedestrian amenities as the focus of the transit- Z c oriented development area. E E v B. An appropriate mix and intensity of uses such as office, retail, entertainment, residential, and d recreational facilities that support transit use and are designed for convenient access by transit a riders, pedestrians, and bicyclists. d 0 0 C. Inviting and pedestrian-focused open spaces on both public and private properties, such as U smaller public pocket parks,civic plazas, outdoor dining areas, common greens,and other a types of urban spaces. E 0 D. A walkable and bikeable area with pleasant connections linking transit stations with businesses and neighborhoods. o E. An interconnected street and non-vehicular network where walkways, bikeways, landscaping, and other streetscape amenities receive priority. N 3.3 TRANSIT OVERLAY DISTRICT AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS c .2 Approval of the proposed project would supplement the San Bernardino Development Code to include the 2 TD overlay.A copy of the proposed revisions to the City's Development Code are included as Appendix A, K San Bernardino Development Code, Transit Overlay District Zoning Standards and Guidelines. The K modifications would formally add this district in the list of districts included in Article 1 -General Provisions, w and would detail the new overlay district under Article II,Land Use Zoning Districts, Section 19.19A,Transit IL Overlay District(TD).The boundaries proposed for the TD districts are shown in Figures 3-15.The TD would m establish standards and regulations beyond those required by the underlying base zones. If the H requirements of the TD conflict with the underlying base zone, the TD requirements would govern. The proposed TD includes the following subsections: i•= r d • Purpose U • Applicability • Transit Station Area types • General Provisions • Building Form and Placement Standards a • Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses Q • Residential Transition Standards u. • Parking • Subdivision Standards m • Design guidelines u • District Image m • Transit Oriented Design Q • Site Planning and Architectural Design c • Site Design d • Landscape Design m >r a Page 46 •The Planning Center January 2012 3. Project Description The TD zoning regulations include standards and guidelines for but not limited to building massing and ° design,setbacks,site coverage,and landscaping and would applyto establishment of all new structures and uses within the boundaries of the 13 transit station areas.The existing General Plan Land Use and Zoning o designations for the affected parcels would be maintained. The TD District would be an 'overlay' zoning Z which would further define development standards specifically for the transit station areas. D 3.3.1 Permitted and Prohibited Land Uses d E TD Section 19.19A.060,Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses,describes changes that would apply to y allowable uses within the TD areas.All existing legally established structures and uses currently within the TD c areas that do not conform with the standards of the TD would be deemed legal nonconforming uses and/or co structures.The repair, renovations,and minor expansion to such uses and structures would be allowed as m permitted by Development Code Chapter 19.62,Nonconforming Structures and Uses. o. 0 The intent of the use regulations would be to permit and encourage land uses that create a pedestrian- friendly environment that supports transit use. in 0 Permitted Uses The TD provisions for permitted and conditionally permitted land uses would apply to commercial base N zones. Under the provisions,the allowed uses would be the same with the exceptions as noted in Table 3. c The table summarizes uses that would be permitted with the approval of a Development Permit but were 2 previously not permitted uses in the zones listed.

Environmental Checklist 4.4 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ° N 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately c supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each Z question.A"No Impact"answer is adequately supported the referenced information sources show E 'rf that the impact simply does not applyto projects like the one involved (e.g.,the projectfalls outside a a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project- a specific factors,as well as general standards(e.g.,the project would not expose sensitive receptors C to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). d a 0 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level,indirect as well as direct,and construction as well as operational a impacts. E 0 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur,then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with o mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is •• substantial evidence that an effect may be significant.If there are one or more"Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. Y N 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the c incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from"Potentially Significant Impact"to a .y "Less Than Significant Impact."The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures,and briefly / 'm ..,. explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level. !at 5) Earlier analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EIR,or other CEOA process, w an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section a 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: m N a) Earlier Analyses Used.

However, future development plans are subject to a review process overseen by the City that ensures preservation of aesthetic quality. Further,the City's Municipal Code regulates light and glare from 2 .N new developments.Forthese reasons aesthetic impacts associated with the 2005 General Plan Update were '5 determined to be less than significant in the SBGPU EIR and no mitigation measures were required. 84 W 5.1.2 Impacts Associated with the Proposed Project w CL CL t7 Substantial New New m N Change in Information Mitigation or w Projector Showing Alternative to ;2 Circumstances Greater Reduce Minor Resulting in Significant Significant Technical rdj New Significant Effects than Effect is Changes or Issues Effects Previous EIR Declined Additions No Impact E I.AESTHETICS.

Environmental Analysis s Comments: r a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? o ci c No Impact.Some of the project's northern station areas(Stations 1 through 4,as shown in Figure 2,Local v Vicinity) are afforded views of the San Bernardino Mountains, which form the City's northern boundary. c However,future development of these station areas as anticipated underthe proposed project would occur similar to and as permitted under the City's General Plan,which was fully analyzed in the SBGPU EIR. No E E intensification of land uses in these station areas would occur under the proposed project beyond those a already considered in the 2005 General Plan Update and analyzed in the SBGPU EIR.Additionally,none of v the building heights in those station areas would exceed 30 feet in height(or two stories),as outlined in the TD overlay zoning regulations(see Appendix A)and noted above in Section 3.3.2,Development Standards u and Guidelines. Furthermore,the height of San Bernardino Mountains also ensures that they will remain a n scenic backdrop to San Bernardino without detrimentfrom anticipated future development associated with o the proposed project.Therefore,implementation of the proposed project would not have an adverse effect on scenic vistas of the San Bernardino Mountains and no significant impact would occur. o <o b) Substantially damage scenic resources,including,but not limited to,trees,rock outcroppings,and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? -- N No Impact. According to the California Scenic Highway Mapping System of the California Department of o Transportation,the station areas associated with the proposed project are not on or near a state-designated .y scenic highway(Caltrans 2007).The nearest designated state scenic highway to the project area is a portion -- of State Route 38, the Angeles Crest Highway, approximately 18 miles west of the nearest station area (Station 13). Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not have a significant impact on W scenic resources along a state scenic highway. w D Q. c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and Its surroundings? m cn Minor Technical Changes or Additions. Although the character of some of the station areas may be m designed and developed in a more transit-oriented manner(to include a mix of uses)than anticipated under ^- the 2005 General Plan Update,implementation of the proposed project would not degrade the existing visual character or quality of the project area or their surroundings. With the exception of the allowance of o increased building heights (an increase of up to 4 stories in the Employment Center Station Areas and 5 E stories in the Downtown Station Areas)and mixed use(e.g.,residential over office or commercial,office over commercial)in some station areas,future development of the station areas anticipated under the proposed project would generally occur as permitted under the City's General Plan.Although mixed-use would be a a new land use introduced into certain station areas under the proposed project,the uses themselves would a be similar to those permitted under the existing General Plan and zoning designations and were already LL considered in the 2005 General Plan Update and analyzed in the SBGPU EIR.The proposed project would still allow the same permitted uses under the General Plan to be developed, but in a manner that would permit them to be more closely integrated with each other in a horizontal or vertical manner and thereby E allow a higher level of connectivity and community form. For example, a mixed-use project could allow residential units to be built over commercial or office uses.The residential densities(dwelling units per acre) a and non residential intensities(floor area ratio)would not change as they would be implemented consistent with those currently permitted under the City's existing zoning standards. E E The TD zoning overlay includes a set of development standards and design guidelines that are flexible y enough to allow property owners and developers to express their vision while maintaining a consistency in urban form to encourage an attractive multi-modal atmosphere.The TD zoning regulations include standards Page 56 •The Planning Center January 2012 � Packet Pg. 662 x F.g S. Environmental Analysis and guidelines for but not limited to building massing, form, placement and design; building heights, ° setbacks;site coverage;and landscaping.Following are some of standards and guidelines include outlined TD zoning regulations: z6 • Provide simple changes in wall plane to reduce the apparent mass and scale of the dwelling, E consistent with the architectural style of the home. v c v • Create building relief through the use of tower elements and building projections designed to E enhance facade variety and visual interest. � 0 • Differentiate individual building masses along the street wall with slight indentations to enhance blockscape variety and visual interest. `m E a • Design landscape buffers adjacent to rear building elevations to soften building architecture while o providing a landscaped transition between the rear parking area and building. v • Use medians and islands to segment large parking fields creating variety and visual interest while mimicking traditional orchard grids. The TD zoning regulations would apply to the establishment of all new structures and uses within the N boundaries of the 13 sbX station areas shown in Figures 3 through 15; therefore, ensuring that all future c development implement standards and guidelines that would ensure high-quality design and compatibility .2 with surrounding uses. w 1 � Therefore,implementation of the proposed project would beneficially alter the visual character ofthe station W areas and would create vibrant, pedestrian-friendly station areas. w a d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare,which would adversely affect day or nighttime C ED views in the area? w v d Minor Technical Changes or Additions.Future development of the station areas as anticipated under the proposed project would be similar to that permitted under the City's General Plan.An increase in allowable building heights could result in an incremental increase in light sources due to additional allowable building 0 stories. However, the height increase would occur in the most developed/urbanized station areas (Employment Center and Downtown Station Areas. Additionally, no new sources of light and glare would E occur within the project areas beyond those already considered in the 2005 General Plan Update and analyzed in the SBGPU EIR.As with development associated with the 2005 General Plan Update,light and v glare sources associated with future development under the proposed project would also be required to a adhere to the lighting requirements stipulated in the City's Municipal Code.No changes to lighting standards LL would occur with adoption of the proposed TD zoning overlay. Furthermore,the light sources associated with the future development under the proposed project would be similarto those of surrounding land uses. Because the project site and surrounding area are largely developed, the lighting associated with E E improvements and structures of the proposed project would not substantially increase nighttime light and glare in the project area. Finally, future development in accordance with the propose project would be a required to comply with California's Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings, Title 24, Part 6, of the California Code of Regulations, which outlines mandatory provisions for lighting control devices and luminaires.Therefore,implementation of the proposed projectwould not have a E significant light and glare impact. w a Addendum to San Bernardino General Plan Update EIR City of San Bernardino •Page 57 Packet Pg..663 5.

No mitigation measures were required. E E 0 Q. Impacts to forest resources were not analyzed in the SBGPU EIR as the requirement to analyze forest resources in environmental documents did not become effective until the adoption of the Senate Bill 97(SB o 97) amendments (adopted December 31,2009, effective March 18, 2010)to the CEQA Guidelines,which occurred after the adoption date (November 5, 2005) of the 2005 General Plan Update and its associated„ SBGPU EIR by the San Bernardino City Council.Priorto the adoption of SB 97,forest resources had not yet been generally recognized as an environmental issue.Therefore,the analysis to impacts on forest resources R is new in this Addendum.

Geographic areas are classified under the national and California Clean Air Acts as either in attainment or nonattainment for each criteria v pollutant based on whether the AAQS have been achieved.The South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB),which is a managed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District(SCAQMD), is designated as nonattainment for O„ PM,.,, PM,,' and lead (Los Angeles County only) under the California and National AAQS and nonattainment for NO2 under the California AAQS. v E s u n Q c d E s u A 'CARB approved the SCAQMD's request to redesignate the SoCAB from serious nonattainment for PM,,to Q attainment for PM,,under the national AAQS on March 25,2010 because the SoCAB has not violated federal 24- hour PM,o standards during the period from 2004 to 2007. However,the USEPA has not yet approved this request. Addendum to San Bernardino General Plan Update EIR City of San Bernardino •Page 61 ticket Pg.667 6.F.g S. Environmental Analysis Comments: N a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? 6 c No Impact.CEQA requires that General Plans be evaluated for consistency with the AQMP.AQMP strategy m is based on projections from local General Plans,projects that are consistent with the local General Plan are M considered consistent with the air quality-related Regional Plan.New land use introduced into certain station E areas under the proposed project would be similar to those permitted under the existing General Plan and E zoning designations and were already considered in the 2005 General Plan Update and analyzed in the SBGPU EIR.As discussed in Section 5.16,Transportation and Traffic,the proposed project would establish v more compact land use patterns to facilitate shorter travel distances and alternative travel modes. The project would also reduce commute distances by providing housing close to transit.The proposed project m would not exceed the assumptions and impacts identified in the SBGPU EIR,and would be consistent with E the AQMP. There would be no impact, and no mitigation measures would be required. o m b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality p violation? v No Impact.Criteria air pollutant emissions would be generated from transportation and stationary sources within the TD. Although the character of the station areas would change and mixed uses would be introduced underthe proposed project,the uses themselves would not be new as they are already permitted c under the existing General Plan and zoning designations.The TD overlay and associated zoning regulations, .2 development standards,and design guidelines would encourage a mix and intensity of land use around sbX .> transit stations and would foster transit-usage and encourage walking/biking and would implement the land use and transportation strategies of the General Plan.The project would establish more compact land use 0: patterns to facilitate shorter travel distances and alternative travel modes. The project would also reduce w commute distances by providing housing close to transit. Consequently, the proposed project has the a potential to reduce transportation-related air pollutant emissions within the City. Furthermore, as with 0 development anticipated under the General Plan Update, most project-related development projects um) (including mixed use)would require a project-level environmental analysis atthe time development plans are m submitted to the City.As a part of the environmental review, a project-specific air quality analysis for most !- projects would also be required.Future development projects anticipated underthe proposed projectwould u be required to adhere to the mitigation measures outlined in the SBGPU EIR.The project would not result in o additional impacts anticipated in the SBGPU EIR;therefore, significant impacts with the proposed project would not occur. E v c c) Result Ina cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project a region Is nonattalnment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard a (Including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? LL No Impact. SCAQMD considers exceedance of their daily significance thresholds to lead to a significant E contribution to emissions on a cumulative basis.As discussed previously,the proposed project would not L result in additional emissions than what was anticipated in the SBGPU EIR. There would be no additional impacts to the ones analyzed in the SBGPU EIR.Therefore, no significant impacts would occur. 4 d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? a E L Minor Technical Changes or Additions.An impact is potentially significant if concentration of emissions at m sensitive receptors exceed the state orfederal AAQS.The TD overlaywould only allow residential uses within a commercial-base zones that already allow residential uses.Moreover,the maximum density permitted forthe Page 62 •The Planning Center Jmrlral7 )01� PacketPg. 666 5. Environmental Analysis residential would be the same as the density allowed for the underlying base zone. Further, as discussed N above Section 5.3.2(a),the proposed project would not worsen traffic,thereby worsening or creating new of CO "hot spots"at heavily congested intersections. e Z Dry cleaners would be permitted with the approval of a Development Permit but were previously not permitted in areas zoned CCS-1 E in Station Area 9. Dry cleaners that would be allowed under the proposed E TD could generate toxic air contaminants in proximity to residential area. As identified in the SBGPU EIR, m these emissions are controlled at the local and regional level through permitting (SCAQMD New Source Review Permit)and would be required to implement best available control technologyto ensure that risks are v below SCAQMD's significance criteria prior to the issuance of any necessary air quality permits. Potential c impacts related to the permitted dry cleaner use would be less than significant,and no mitigation measures U would be required. d E e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? o° a No Impact. As with the 2005 General Plan Update, future development in accordance with the proposed c project would not emit objectionable odors that would affect a substantial number of people. Future •• development within the station areas in accordance with the proposed project—which would include but not be limited to residential,commercial, retail,office, hotel, mixed-use—is not associated with foul odors that constitute a public nuisance. During construction activities of future development projects, construction N equipment exhaust, application of asphalt and architectural coatings would temporarily generate odors. c These impacts were addressed in the SBGPU EIR and no additional impacts would occur with the proposed 2 .N project.Therefore,impacts of the proposed project associated with operation-and construction-generated '> odors would not be significant. W w✓ Ir 5.3.3 Mitigation Measures Identified in the SBGPU EIR and Applicable to the Proposed w Project a 0 The following mitigation measures are included in the SBGPU EIR and would apply to development within N the project's station areas. m GP 5.2-2A Priorto the issuance of grading permits,the property owner/developer shall include a note on all .� grading plans which requires the construction contractor to implement following measures c) during grading.These measures shall also be discussed at the pregrade conference. ° E • Use low emission mobile construction equipment. c 9 • Maintain construction equipment engines by keeping them tuned. • Utilize existing power sources (i.e., power poles)when feasible. c m • Configure construction parking to minimize traffic interference.

(n v a No Impact.The project areas are located within highly urbanized areas of the City of San Bernardino and consist of a variety of urban uses.The project areas have been heavily disturbed in the past and are not in d their natural condition. The station areas and surrounding areas consist of a mix of existing land uses, L) including residential, commercial, retail, office, institutional, and civic. No natural biological resources or communities existed in the areas of the proposed project in 2005 at the time the 2005 General Plan Update E was analyzed under the SBGPU EIR and no such resources exist at the present time. The site conditions have notchanged sincethen.Additionally,future development anticipated underthe proposed projectwould v occur within the same development envelope of the parcels included in the General Plan land use map and a analyzed in the SBGPU EIR. LL Three of the project's station areas (Stations 11 through 13) however abut the Santa Ana River Wash.The v wash is within Critical Habitat Unit 1 (Santa Ana River and San Timoteo Canyon),which is designated critical E habitat for San Bernardino kangaroo rat and California gnatcatcher.As with the 2005 General Plan Update, development of these areas under the proposed project could impact critical habitat of the Santa Ana River 4 Wash. However, as outlined in the SBGPU EIR, project applicants would be required to consult with the appropriate agencies regarding potential impacts to listed species that the wash habitat may support,and `a would also be required to complywith regulatory requirements,including permitting,to offset any identified E z impacts. For example,development projects would be subject to current regulations protecting waters and @ wetlands, including the requirements of Section 404 permits from the United States Army Corps of a L Addendum to San Bernardino General Plan Update EIR City of San Bernardino •Page 65 ' "Packet Pg.671 s.F.y S. Environmental Analysis Engineers, US fish and Wildlife Services review, Section 401 water quality certification, and the California N Department of Fish and Game 1600 Streambed Alteration Agreements. 6 z Additionally,to minimizethe impacts to sensitive plant communities and wildlife species along the SantaAna River Wash, the 2005 General Plan Update outlines goals and policies related to the protection of open w space and wildlife habitat. Future development within the areas associated with Stations 11 through 13 v would be reviewed for consistency with the established goals and policies of the 2005 General Plan Update. v Furthermore, at the time individual development applications are submitted for development within these E three station areas,the City will assess development proposals for potential impacts to significant natural w resources pursuant to CEQA and associated state and federal regulations and City ordinances. o U Therefore,as with the 2005 General Plan Update,the proposed project would not have a significant impact w on or interfere with any species,habitat,natural community,riparian area,wetland,migratory fish orwildlife, E a or migratory wildlife corridor identified by any local, regional, state or federal agency. o d g) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community p identified in local or regional plans,policies, regulations,or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?

See response to Section 5.4.2(a), above. w IL IL i) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of rmt7 native wildlife nursery sites? m No Impact. See response to Section 5.4.2(a), above. Additionally, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 v (MBTA) implements the United States'commitment to four treaties with Canada,Japan,Mexico,and Russia v 0 for the protection of shared migratory bird resources. The MBTA governs the taking, killing, possession, transportation, and importation of migratory birds, their eggs, parts, and nests. The US Fish and Wildlife E Service administers permits to take migratory birds in accordance with the MBTA.As standard practice,the City requires that project applicants comply with the MBTA by either avoiding grading activities during the v nesting season(February 15to August 15)orconducting asite surveyfor nesting birds priorto commencingO grading activities.As with future development associated with the 2005 General Plan Update,development associated with the proposed project would be required to comply with the provisions of this regulatory requirement. Adherence to the MBTA regulations would ensure that if construction occurs during the v breeding season,appropriate measures would betaken to avoid impacts to nesting birds,if any are found in E any of the individual development sites of project areas. With adherence to the MBTA requirements, no significant impact would occur. 4 j) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree m preservation policy or ordinance? E u m No Impact. As with future project development anticipated under the 2005 General Plan Update, future G development of the project's station areas would be required to comply with relevant policies and ordinances Page 66 •The Planning Center January 2012 Packet(Pg:6T2 " S. Environmental Analysis relating to the protection and preservation of biological resources within the City. For example, City N Ordinance MC-1027,9-8-98 and MC-682 regulate the removal of mature trees.As with the 2005 General Plan Update,future development anticipated under the proposed project would not conflict with any local policies z6 protecting biological resources. c d k) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community E Conservation Plan,or other approved local, regional,or state habitat conservation plan? d E No Impact.No adopted habitat conservation plans or natural community conservation plans existed in the w City in 2005 at the time the 2005 General Plan Update was analyzed under the SBGPU EIR and no such °o plans exist at the present time. The San Bernardino Valley-Wide Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan O (MSHCP) has been and is still in the development stages. Upon approval and adoption of the San a Bernardino Valley-Wide MSHCP,and participation bythe City,future development projects within the station E areas that would fall within the MSHCP boundary(if any)would be required to comply with the requirements o of the MSHCP. Therefore, as with the 2005 General Plan Update, no significant impact to any habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan would occur as a result of future development c anticipated under the proposed project. m a 5.4.3 Mitigation Measures Identified In the SBGPU EIR and Applicable to the Proposed Project N C Mitigation measures outlined in the SBGPU EIR related to biological resources would not be applicable to 2 .N the proposed project. .A 5.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES 84 K w 5.5.1 Summary of Impacts Identified in the SBGPU EIR a O With regards to historical, archeological and paleontological resources, the SBGPU EIR concluded that y future development in accordance with the 2005 General Plan Update,which included development of the m project's station areas, would not have a significant impact on or interfere with any such resources with w implementation of the mitigation measures outlined in the SBGPU EIR. d U 5.5.2 Impacts Associated with the Proposed Project E v c Substantial New New a Change in Information Mitigation or Q Project or Showing Alternative to Circumstances Greater Reduce Minor LL Resulting in New Significant Significant Technical Significant Effects than Effect is Changes or E Issues Effects Previous EIR Declined Additions No Impact V.

Further, many sites within the City are located in areas with high and A moderately high liquefaction potential, which can be induced by seismic activity. Therefore, the EIR a concluded that City of San Bernardino residents, visitors, and workers would be subjected to potential seismic-related hazards in the buildout of the General Plan. However, all development in the City of San Bernardino would be required to follow the California Building Code, which regulates construction and E design to ensure safety from seismic activity.The EIR thus concluded that upon consideration of regulatory ( requirements and standard conditions of approval the impacts would be less then significant. a V Page 70 •The Planning Center January 2013 Packet Pg. 676 5. Environmental Analysis Another geological impact resulting from buildout of the General Plan Update is soil instability.The SBGPU ° EIR concluded that because the City lies within a geologic unit that contains soil types that are susceptible to wind and water erosion,development in areas characterized by such soil types may result in substantial soil z° erosion or the loss of topsoil. Additionally, the EIR also found that there is the potential to encounter expansive soils within the City, and that as a result there is a potential for risks to life or property due to d structural collapse as a result of construction on expansive soils.As with ground shaking impacts,however, E regulatory requirements like the California Building Code would render impacts less than significant. d 5.6.2 Impacts Associated with the Proposed Project d a 0 U Substantial New New m Changan; Information Mitigation or E Projector Showing Alternative to C Circumstances Greater Reduce Minor @ Resulting in Significant Significant Technical > New Significant Effects than Effect is Changes or o Issues Effects Previous EIR Declined Additions No Impact <c VI.

Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. v No Impact. As stated in the SBGPU OR and shown in Figure S-3, Alquist-Priolo Study Zones, of the City's General Plan Safety Element, the project's station areas are not within an established Alquist- w Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. However, three faults traverse the City as shown in Figure S-3, which a include the San Jacinto, Glen Helen, and San Andreas Faults. All of these faults are designated as m Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones and are considered as active faults.The San Jacinto Fault is in h close proximity to three of the project'station areas(Stations 10 through 12).A rupture of this fault could w expose people or structures in those station areas to potentially substantial adverse effects,including the - risk of loss, injury, or death. Additionally, all of the project's station areas are in a seismically active region and occasional seismic ground shaking is likely to occur within the lifetime of the proposed o development. E However,the project area is not at greater risk of seismic activity or impacts than other sites in southern c California. Seismic shaking is a risk throughout southern California. Additionally, the state regulates a development in California through a variety of tools that reduce hazards from earthquakes and other a geologic hazards.The 2010 California Building Code(CBC;California Code of Regulations,Title 24,Part LL 2)contains provisions to safeguard against major structural failures or loss of life caused by earthquakes or other geologic hazards.As with development anticipated underthe 2005 General Plan Update,future w development associated with the proposed project would be required to adhere to the provisions of the E CBC, which are imposed on project developments by the City during the building plan check and development review process. Compliance with the requirements of the 2010 CBC for structural safety a during a seismic event would reduce hazards from strong seismic ground shaking along one of the three faults that traverse the City.Therefore,significant impacts resulting from rupture of a known earthquake fault and strong seismic ground shaking would not occur. E U R ` Q Page 72 •The Planning Center January X012 Packet Pg. 678 S. Environmental Analysis ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? ° N No Impact. See response to Section 5.6.2(a), above. 6 Z iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? E E No Impact.As disclosed in the SBGPU EIR and shown in Figure S-5,Liquefaction Susceptibility,some of the project's station areas (Stations 7 through 13) lie within areas susceptible to high liquefaction. Future development anticipated under the proposed project would occur within the same areas d considered in the 2005 General Plan Update and analyzed in the SBGPU EIR,and would be susceptible e to the same level of potential impacts from liquefaction.However,as standard procedure,future grading v and soil compaction activities associated with development anticipated under the proposed project m would require the preparation of specific grading plans, soils and geotechnical reports (which must a address liquefaction, subsidence, and other potential soil stability hazards), and hydrology studies, o which are required to be submitted to and reviewed and approved by the City prior to the commencement of any grading activities.Submittal of these technical plans and studies would ensure o that hazards arising from liquefaction and other seismic ground failures would not occur,as they would be prepared in accordance with current grading and engineering standards outlined in the most recent CBC.Therefore, significant impacts resulting from liquefaction would not occur. b) Result In substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? 0 y No Impact. As with development anticipated under the 2005 General Plan Update, future development '> associated with the proposed project would involve excavation, grading, and construction activities that gf would disturb soil and leave exposed soil on the ground surface. Common means of soil erosion from construction sites include water,wind,and being tracked offsite by vehicles.These activities could result in w soil erosion. However, development within the project areas is subject to local and state codes and requirementsfor erosion control and grading during construction.As with development anticipated underthe General Plan,future development associated with the proposed project would be required to comply with y standard regulations, including South Coast Air Quality Management District Rules 402 and 403, which would reduce construction erosion impacts. Rule 403 requires that fugitive dust be controlled with best - available control measures so that the presence of such dust does not remain visible in the atmosphere w beyond the property line of the emissions source. Rule 402 requires dust suppression techniques be implemented to prevent dust and soil erosion from creating a nuisance offsite. «° E Additionally, the Construction General Permit (CGP) issued by the State Water Resources Control Board a (SWRCB), effective July 1, 2010, regulates construction activities to minimize water pollution, including v v sediment. The anticipated improvements that would occur within the project areas would be subject to Q National Pollution Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)permitting regulations,including the development and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), which is further discussed in LL Section 5.9,Hydrologyand Water Quality,of this Addendum.Specifically,the CGP requires the preparation w and implementation of a SWPPP for project sites of one acre or greater, which would include but not be E limited to the following: • Determine risk level for impacts of sediment from site to receiving waters. a c v • Specify actions the project will take to minimize sediment transport from construction sites. E v m Such actions include best management practices(BMPs).Types of BMPs that are incorporated in SWPPPs a include: Addendum to San Bernardino General Plan Update EIR City of San Bernardino •Page 73 Packet Pg.679 6.F.g 5. Environmental Analysis • Erosion controls: cover and/or bind soil surface,to prevent soil particles from being detached and N transported by water or wind. Erosion control BMPs include mulch, soil binders,and mats. r 6 Z • Sediment controls: Filter out soil particles that have been detached and transported in water. Sediment control BMPs include barriers, and cleaning measures such as street sweeping. E E • Tracking controls: Tracking control BMPs minimize the tracking of soil offsite by vehicles; for instance,stabilizing construction roadways and entrances/exits. E u The SWPPP must include BMPs to eliminate and/or minimize soil erosion prior to and during construction u and show the placement of those BMPs. Additionally, the SWPPP must contain among other things a sediment monitoring plan if the site discharges directly to a water body listed on the 303(d)listfor sediment. The construction contractor of future development anticipated underthe proposed projectwould be required E to prepare and implement a SWPPP in compliance with the CGP during construction. Adherence to the o BMPs in the SWPPP would reduce, prevent,and or minimize soil erosion.Therefore, soil erosion impacts d from grading and construction activities associated with future development anticipated underthe proposed o project would not occur. v N c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable,or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, R liquefaction, or collapse. o N No Impact. As with development anticipated under the 2005 General Plan Update and as standard .> procedure,future grading and soil compaction activities associated with development anticipated underthe ,. proposed project requires the preparation of specific grading plans,soils and geotechnical reports(which must address liquefaction, subsidence, and other potential soil stability hazards), and hydrology studies, w which are required to be submitted to and reviewed and approved by the City Engineer prior to the a commencement of any grading activities.Submittal of these technical plans and studies would ensure that m hazards arising from lateral spreading, subsidence or collapsible soils would not occur, as they would be ur prepared in accordance with current grading and engineering standards outlined in the most recent CBC. d Additionally,additional testing for soils would be required following rough grading and prior to construction of foundations and other concrete work to confirm these conditions.Therefore,impacts resulting from lateral spreading, subsidence or collapsible soils would not occur. C d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 19-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), E creating substantial risks to life or property? a n No Impact.

As with development anticipated under the 2005 General Plan Update, no septic tanks or m alternative wastewater disposal systems would be proposed for future development anticipated under the a proposed project. Future development would require connection to existing sewers mainlines and service lines,which are currently available in the surround roadways of the project areas.Therefore, impacts from alternative wastewater disposal systems would not occur.

This will occur primarily through the implementation of AB 32 and SB 375,which will address GHG emissions on a statewide cumulative basis. Addendum to San Bernardino General Plan Update EIR City of San Bernardino •Page 75 Packe'`Pg. 681 S. Environmental Analysis A regional GHG emissions inventory is being prepared by SANBAG for the County of San Bernardino and N participating cities, including the City of San Bernardino.Although the character of the station areas would 1. change and mixed uses would be introduced under the proposed project,the uses themselves would not be z new as they are already permitted under the existing General Plan and zoning designations.The TD and associated zoning regulations,development standards,and design guidelines would encourage a mix and m intensity of land use around sbX transit stations that would foster transit-usage and encourage walking/biking E and would implement the land use and transportation strategies of the City's General Plan. The project m would establish more compact land use patterns to facilitate shorter travel distances and alternative travel E modes.The project would also reduce commute distances by providing housing close to transit. d 0 0 Consequently,the proposed project has the potential to reduce transportation-related GHG emissions within w the City (the largest GHG sector) and support the GHG reduction goals of AB 32. As with development m anticipated under the General Plan Update,most project-related development projects(including mixed use) o. would require a project-level environmental analysis at the time development plans are submitted to the City. o As a part of the environmental review, a project-specific GHG analysis for most projects would also be > required.Future development projects anticipated under the proposed project would be required to adhere o to statewide measures adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions, including the Building and Energy Efficiency Standards(part of the California Building Code)and the California Green Building Code N (CALGreen).Additional measures to reduce project-level GHG emissions impacts would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, based on their potential to exceed SCAQMD's GHG significance thresholds. „7 Furthermore,the City is currently preparing a Sustainability Master Plan(SMP)that will setthe City on a path C toward achieving the GHG reduction goals of AB 32 (City of San Bernardino 2010). Once adopted,future N projects consistent with the qualified GHG reduction plan would not result in GHG emissions impacts. > Therefore,significant impacts would not occur. b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the w emissions of greenhouse gases? a 0 No Impact.The California Air Resources Board (CARB)adopted the Scoping Plan on December 11,2008. U) The Scoping Plan is California's GHG reduction strategy to achieve the state's GHG emissions reduction d target established by AB 32,which are 1990 levels by year 2020.AB 32 requires California to reduce its GHG emissions by approximately 29 percent below business-as-usual. CARB identified reduction measures to v achieve this goal as set forth in the Scoping Plan.Thus, projects that are consistent with the Scoping Plan u are also consistent with the 29 percent reduction below business-as-usual required by AB 32.The City of o San Bernardino is in the process of creating a SMP that will set the City on a path toward achieving the GHG E reduction goals of AB 32 (City of San Bernardino 2010). The TD and associated zoning regulations, development standards,and design guidelines would encourage a mix and intensity of land use around sbX o transit stations that would foster transit-usage and encourage walking/biking and would implement the land G use and transportation strategies of the General Plan and SMP to promote infill development.Consequently, implementation of the proposed project would be consistent with the GHG reduction goals of AB 32 and u_ would not conflict with plans adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. d E L 5.7.3 Mitigation Measures Identitied in the SBGPU EIR and Applicable to the Proposed m Project Q This topic was not analyzed in the SBGPU EIR and therefore no mitigation measures related to GHG v emissions were outlined.Moreover,because the proposed project would not emit significant levels of GHG, E this impact would be less than significant and no mitigation is required. a Page 76 •The Planning Center January 2012 "`Packet Pg. 682 6.F.g 5.

Firstly, full butdout of the General Plan Update would result in an increase in construction, a creating the potential for short-term unquantifiable increases in pollutant concentrations from the individual project sites.After project development the quality of storm runoff may be altered.Additionally,portions of the City are located within a 100-year flood hazard area,as well as within the inundation area of the Seven E Oaks Dam. Therefore, development occurring in these areas has the potential to expose structures and occupants to flood hazards. Lastly, debris carried by the Santa Ana River has the potential to fill or plug a structures designed to collect and convey runoff resulting in floodwaters being forced into adjacent areas. Page 80 •The Planning Center January 2012 Packet Pg. 686 6.F.g S. Environmental Analysis The SBGPU EIR also identified mudflows as similarly dangerous phenomena with potential to occur in San ° Bernardino. 6 However, due to the limited availability of vacant land for development,the amount of impervious surface Z added by buildout of the General Plan would be limited. Impacts to stormwater quantity and quality would v consequently be limited. Additionally, existing drainage patterns would not be significantly altered by E implementation of the plan.Potential impacts due to mudflows and inundation would also be reduced due to w policies and regulations contained in the General Plan to limit development in areas susceptible to these QE phenomena.Therefore,the SBGPU EIR concluded that all hydrological and water quality impacts resulting d from implementation of the General Plan Update would be less than significant. c U 5.9.2 Impacts Associated with the Proposed Project E a 0 Substantial New New > Change in Information Mitigation or d Projector Showing Alternative Circumstances Greater to Reduce Minor fD Resulting in New Significant Significant Technical N Significant Effects than Effect is Changes or Issues Effects Previous EIR Declined Additions No Impact i IX.

See response to Section 5.9.2(g). 4 A I) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? ix Mu No Impact.As shown in Figure S-2, Seven Oaks Dam Inundation, a number of the project's station areas :3 (Stations 10 through 13)are within the dam inundation area of Seven Oaks Dam.Although mixed-use would a be a new land use introduced into certain station areas under the proposed project,the uses themselves M would be similar to those permitted under the existing General Plan and zoning designations and were d already considered in the 2005 General Plan Update and analyzed in the SBGPU EIR.The proposed project w would still allow these same permitted uses to be developed,but in a manner that would permit them to be v more closely integrated with each other in a horizontal or vertical manner. Additionally, as outlined in the u SBGPU EIR,although failure of the dam in the event of a catastrophe would release a significant amount of S water(approximately 145,600 acre-feet of water during flood conditions),the dam is engineered to withstand E an earthquake measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale,with any point able to sustain a displacement of fourfeet a' c without causing any overall structural damage.Furthermore,the dam inundation areas shown in Figure S-2 d v reflect events of extremely remote nature.Finally,the City's General Plan contains policies that prohibit land use development in inundation-prone areas intended for human occupancy,which would limit risk to the G population in the event of dam failure.Therefore, no significant impacts would occur. c v J) Inundation by selche,tsunami,or mudflow? r U No Impact.The following describes potential impacts to people and structures from seiches,tsunamis,and a mudflows.As demonstrated below,the proposed project would not expose people or structure to any of these hazards. c E E Seiche:A seiche is a surface wave created when an inland water body is shaken,usually by an earthquake. There are no bodies of water near the project's station areas that could pose a flood hazard due to a seiche or failure of an aboveground reservoir. Therefore, impacts from a seiche would not occur.

As shown in Figure NRC-3, Mineral Resource Zones, of the City's General Plan Natural v Resources and Conservation Element,a few of the project's station areas are within Mineral Resource Zone r 2 (MRZ-2)and one or two others are within MRZ-1.The MRZ-1 designation indicates that there is adequate v information that no significant mineral deposits are present or likely to be present.The MRZ-2 designation co indicates that either aggregate resources exist on the site, or that there is a high likelihood that such 3 E resources exist. 4 C As stated in the SBGPU EIR, the City further evaluated areas listed by the state as containing regionally v significant construction aggregate sectors, as shown in Figure NRC-3, and determined several sectors (which included the project areas)could not be protected due to incompatible land use and such sectors LL were opposed by the City.The reasons these sectors are opposed by the City include: rapid growth rate(in excess of 25 percent); identification of rare and endangered plant species; traffic and safety concerns; w proximity to highly urbanized areas;inadequate freeway access;and incompatibility with surrounding land z uses (lack of a adequate buffer zone). In addition, mining in the project areas would also be incompatible m with the surrounding urban uses, especially the residential uses within and adjacent to the project areas. a Given these factors, mining is not practical in the project's station areas, and no significant impacts to mineral resources would occur.

Firstly, implementation would result in long-term operation-related noise that would 0 exceed local standards that may have significant noise impacts related to noise sources, which include stationary,roadway,railroad and aircraft.Secondly,implementation of the General Plan Update would create < groundborne vibration and groundborne noise that may result in significant vibration impacts from vibration- intensive construction activities and increased train travel along railroads.Thirdly, at the time of the 2005 R General Plan Updatethere was no adopted Airport Master Plan or Comprehensive Land Use Plan(CLUP)for c the San Bernardino International Airport (which was formerly known as the Norton Air Force Base). While 2 awaiting the finalization of these plans,the City of San Bernardino has regulated land uses around the airport '> - through the existing noise ordinance(and as predicated on the noise contours from the former Norton AFB). rr Land uses under the flight path of the airport include noise-sensitive uses, creating an inherent incompatibility and potentially resulting in exposure of persons to noise levels exceeding standards w established in the General Plan. a For these three impacts,specifically,the SBGPU EIR analysis determined that stationary noise generated by C3 the General Plan would potentially be problematic if occurring at the borders between industrial and v commercially-zoned areas and sensitive noise uses. With respect to mobile sources, the SBGPU EIR E' concluded that increases in noise levels would occur at existing noise-sensitive land uses and would exceed d the City's land use compatibility standards for noise. Buildout of the General Plan Update was also v determined to have short-and long-term impacts on groundborne vibration and groundborne noise due to a ° general increase in rail usage.The SBGPU EIR also concluded that construction activities associated with E buildout of the General Plan would result in temporary noise increases in the vicinity of individual projects. v Lastly,the SBGPU EIR concluded that noise incompatibility with the designation of parkland underneath the .� then-existing airport flight path was anticipated to result in significant noise impacts on this sensitive use.

LL C d Noise is defined as unwanted sound, and is known to have several adverse effects on people, including E hearing loss, speech and sleep interference, physiological responses, and annoyance. Based on these m known adverse effects of noise, the federal government, the State of California, the County of San a Bernardino,and the City of San Bernardino have established criteria to protect public health and safety and to prevent disruption of certain human activities. a`, E U U N Q Page 90 •The Planning Center Packet Pg. 696 S. Environmental Analysis Comments: ° N a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the 6 local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? c d No Impact.Developments anticipated under the proposed project would adhere to the City's General Plan E and the Municipal Code for controlling both temporary and permanent noise and vibration levels.With this a consistency, the proposed TD overlay would have no significant impact and no additional mitigation is required. d v 0 b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise v levels? m E No Impact. As discussed in the SBGPU EIR, significant vibration impacts can potentially be generated by c roadway, railway, and industrial sources. Because the proposed TD overlay is consistent with the City's General Plan and because conforming to the General Plan will result in no sensitive land uses being sited 0 within critical distances to vibration sources,any potential for significant vibration impacts from transportation •• sources is less than significant. Further, since vibration generated by machinery at industrial land uses is a regulated by City's Municipal Code (Section 15.68.20),compliance with the code would result in industrial vibration levels that are considered to be acceptable to the City. As such, no significant vibration impacts would occur from vibration. c 0 .y c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? y� Minor Technical Changes or Additions. As discussed above, the proposed project has the potential to w reduce transportation-related noise levels within the City. By encouraging an improved mix of land uses n around sbX transit stations and by fostering more efficient transit usage and transportation strategies, the 0 proposed TD overlay would establish more compact land use patterns and could,as a result,reduce vehicle M miles traveled rates and the associated traffic noise within the city. v m The potential noise effects and changes from the project-related developments would be identified in each y project-level environmental analysis (as is required by the General Plan). Minor technical changes or v additions may be identified as a result of these specific project-level noise assessments.However,given the overall consistency with the General Plan and with the implementation of Mitigation Measure GP 5.10-1 from E 3 the SBGPU EIR, the proposed project would have no significant impact and no additional mitigation is c required. n a d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? LL c v No Impact. Developments anticipated under the proposed project would adhere to the City's General Plan E and the Municipal Code for controlling temporary and periodic increases in noise levels,including those from construction activities.With this consistency,the proposed project would have no significant impact and no a additional mitigation is required. c E E L u m 1; Q Addendum to San Bernardino General Plan Update EIR City of San Bernardino •Page 91 S. Environmental Analysis e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or,where such a plan has not been adopted, N within two miles of a public airport or public use airport,would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? Z6 c No Impact.The SBGPU EIR discussed the operations atThe San Bernardino International Airport(call letters SBD), which is located within the San Bernardino city limits. Airport noise, produced from takeoffs, E E flyovers/over-flights,and approaches/landings,contribute to the noise environment within the City.In lieu of an Airport Master Plan or Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)for the airport,the General Plan identified E an inherent incompatibility with the parkland and operation of the airport,which may result in exposure of d visitors to noise levels that exceed noise compatibility standards established in the General Plan. As a o consequence, Mitigation Measure GP 5.10-4 was instigated (provided at the end of this section). The proposed project would be consistent with the General Plan and with this mitigation measure regarding noise from the airport.Therefore,the proposed project would have no significant impact and no additional E mitigation is required. 0 d Q For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip,would the project expose people residing or p working In the project area to excessive noise levels? v N No Impact. In addition to aircraft noise from the San Bernardino International Airport, local helicopter air traffic from five heliports in San Bernardino was identified in the General Plan Update'. With respect to r;, potential noise impacts from private airstrips, the proposed project would be consistent with the City's c General Plan in that individual projects would have to be analyzed on a project-specific basis. Given this .2 approach,this impact would be less than significant and no mitigation is required. .T> o: 5.12.3 Mitigation Measures Identdied In the SBGPU EIR and Applicable to the Proposed X Project W a The following mitigation measures are included in the SBGPU EIR and would apply to development within m the project's station areas. rn v a GP 5.10-1 Prior to the issuance of building permits for any project that involves a noise sensitive use within the 65 dBA CNEL contour along major roadways or freeway, railroads, or the San Bernardino d International Airport,the project property owner/developers shall submit afinal acoustical report L) prepared to the satisfaction of the Planning Director.The report shall show thatthe development 0 will be sound-attenuated against present and projected noise levels,including roadway,aircraft, E helicopter and railroad,to meet City interior and exterior noise standards. -0 c d 9 GP 5.10-4 The City of San Bernardino shall incorporate into the General Plan and Zoning ordinance the G noise contour map developed for the SBIA after completion of the Airport Master Plan.

The SBGPU EIR found that if additional fire and CO emergency medical services facilities and personnel are not added to accommodate the increase service °w demand brought about by the development of the project area, a pattern of overstressed resources and r decreased levels of service to the overall community would evolve. Buildout in accordance with the San m Bernardino General Plan would also result in an increase in demand for police protection services within the v 0 City.As a result of an increase in demand due to future growth within the City,the SBGPU EIR found that new police facilities, equipment and personnel may be necessary to maintain adequate level of service for E E the City. However, the SBGPU EIR concluded that existing regulations and standards conditions are sufficient to reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level. v v a Buildout of the General Plan Update would generate a significant number of additional elementary, middle, LL and high school students that would impact the school enrollment capacities of the City of San Bernardino Unified School District (SBUSD). Growth in the student population in the City would necessitate additional school facilities and personnel within SBUSD and several other neighboring districts.Additionally,buildout in E E accordance with the General Plan Update would result in the need for an additional 202,862 volumes of books to support future library needs of the City's population.

Even with the introduction of mixed use, vehicles miles traveled and development o intensity would not increase under the proposed project. Additionally, the TD and associated zoning E regulations,development standards,and design guidelines would encourage a mix and intensity of land use v around sbX transit stations that would foster transit-usage and encourage walking/biking and would � 0 implement the land use and transportation strategies of the City's General Plan.The project would establish '0 more compact land use patterns to facilitate shorter travel distances and alternative travel modes. The project would also reduce commute distances by providing housing close to transit. u- c Additionally, future development associated with the proposed project would create station area communities that would provide for a mix of commercial, office, residential, recreation, and other support z uses. The location, design, and layout of these various land uses would provide a unique and walkable shopping,working,and living experience for residents of the station areas,thereby minimizing the number of G vehicles on the City's roadway system and also minimizing the dependency on vehicles. As with development associated with the 2005 General Plan Update, future development anticipated under the 0 proposed project would be assessed Development Impact Fees for the local and regional circulation .Ec systems,as stipulated in Sections 3.27.050(Local Circulation System Impact Fee-Findings)and 3.27.060 (Regional Circulation System Impact Fee- Findings) of the City's Municipal Code. Furthermore, as with a development anticipated under the General Plan Update, most project-related development projects Addendum to San Bernardino General Plan Update EIR City of San Bernardino •Page 99 'Packet Pg. 705 S. Environmental Analysis (including mixed use)would require a project-level environmental analysis at the time development plans are ° submitted to the City. As a part of the environmental review, aproject-specific traffic analysis for most 1. projects would also be required.Finally,future development projects anticipated under the proposed project o Z would be required to adhere to the mitigation measures outlined in the SBGPU EIR,which are reproduced at the end of this section. Therefore, significant impacts would not occur. d E M b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management program,including,but not limited to level of a service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county E congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? m v 0 No Impact. See response to Section 5.16.2(a), above. u c a c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns,including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in E location that results in substantial safety risks? o m No Impact.As shown in Figure LU-4,San Bernardino International Airport Planning Boundaries, not of the p station areas associated with the proposed project are within the airport influence area or in any of the airport's runway protection, safety, or traffic pattern zones. Additionally, the proposed project would not v n change the project area boundaries that were analyzed in the SBGPU EIR for the 2005 General Plan Update. .... Therefore, no significant impacts would occur. N c d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g.,farm equipment)? 'v z No Impact.Future development in accordance with the proposed project would not increase hazards due to C a design feature or incompatible land use, or result in inadequate emergency access. The City of San w Bernardino, San Bernardino City Fire Department (SBCFD) and Caltrans have adopted roadway design a standards that would preclude the construction of any unsafe design features. As with development m anticipated under the General Plan Update, future development in accordance with the propose project (n (including roadways, alleys, access drives and drive aisles) would be required to comply with the City, SBCFD and Caltrans standards for design, sight lines, access, speeds, and emergency access. These w design standards are imposed on project developments by the City and SBCFD during the building plan v check and development review process.Compliance with these established design standardswould ensure u that hazards due to design features would not occur and that adequate emergency access is provided. 8 Additionally, individual development projects would be required to incorporate all applicable design and E safety requirements as set forth in the most current adopted fire codes, building codes, and nationally recognized fire and life safety standards of the City and SBCFD.Furthermore,during the building plan check and development review process,the Citywould coordinatewith SBCFDto ensure that adequate circulation 4 and access is provided within the traffic and circulation components of each development project.Therefore, no significant impacts would occur.

As with development anticipated under the 2005 General Plan Update, future development 4 associated with the proposed project would not conflict with adopted policies,plans or programs regarding Page 100 •The Planning Center January 2012 Pic*A6 988; S. Environmental Analysis alternative modes of transportation. Development in the project's station areas would be more than adequately served by existing and future bus stops as the project would occur along the 15.7-mile corridor that makes up the sbX E Street Corridor Bus Rapid Transit Project (sbX BRIT Project). In fact, future 0. development in accordance with the proposed project would help implement the sbX BRT Project by allowing transit-oriented development(TOD)to occur adjacent to and near the 13 sbX stations that would de w developed along the 15-mile corridor.The potential for TOD at sbX station areas draws on TOD principles E that focus on compact growth,a mix of land uses,and pedestrian-oriented design within walking distance of a transit station. Future development associated with the proposed project would create station area E communities that would provide for a mix of commercial,office, residential, recreation, and other support v uses. The location, design, and layout of these various land uses would provide a unique and walkable 'O in o shopping ,g,working,and living experience for residents of the station areas,thereby creating a greater level of ci connectivity and minimizing the dependency on vehicles. Additionally, the TO and associated zoning regulations,development standards,and design guidelines would encourage a mix and intensity of land use E around sbX transit stations that would foster transit-usage and encourage walking/biking and would c implementthe land use and transportation strategies of the City's General Plan.The project would establish more compact land use patterns to facilitate shortertravel distances and alternative travel modes.Therefore, 0 no significant impact on alternative transportation would occur. v 5.1&3 Mitigation Measures Identified in the SBGPU EIR The following mitigation measures are included in the SBGPU EIR and would apply to development within � the project's station areas. 4 Mn l,,.—..

As concluded in the SBGPUEIR (which included development of the project's station areas), 'a additional facilities would need to be built or expansion of existing facilities would need to be completed to a accommodate the proposed General Plan Update buildout (which includes development in the project's LL station areas)in the service area of the San Bernardino Water Reclamation Plant(WRP).Since the City is the largest contributor of wastewater flows to the WRP,the increase in population from buildout of the General Plan Update alone would most likely exceed design capacity of both facilities.Although the character of the E U station areas would change and mixed uses would be introduced under the proposed project, the uses :°. themselves would not be new as they are already permitted under the existing General Plan and zoning a designations.Therefore,the proposed project's impacts to wastewater treatment would be similartothose of the General Plan Update buildout.However,as outlined in the SBGPUEIR,with implementation of Mitigation Measures 5.15-2(which is reproduced at the end of this section), impacts would be reduced to a less than £E significant level. Additionally, as discussed in Section 5.9.2(a), individual project applicants would be w required to prepare and implement a SWPPP pursuant to the GCP. The SWPPP would specify BMPs the a project applicant would implementfor protecting water quality by eliminating and/or minimizing stormwater Page 104 •The Planning Center January 2012 Packet Pg. 710 S.

E E No Impact.Although the character of the station areas would change and mixed uses would be introduced w underthe proposed project,the uses themselves would not be new as they are already permitted underthe QE existing General Plan and zoning designations. Therefore, the proposed project's impacts to water and wastewater treatment would be similarto those of the General Plan Update buildout.Additionally,during the o City's development review process, individual project applicants would be required to comply with the c) requirements in effect at the time building permits are issued, including payment of the required sewer m connection fees,as outlined in Section 13.08.050(Fees Accompanying Application)of the City's Municipal E Code. As stated in Section 13.08.050, these fees are deposited in a special account and used for the o construction of sewer trunk lines and collection facilities and forthe construction and improvement of waste water treatment plants. Furthermore, as outlined in Section 13.08.090 (Compliance with City Engineer's 0 Specifications)of the City's Municipal Code,all installations of sewer laterals are required to comply with the - provisions and requirements of the current standard specifications of the City on file in the office of the City c Engineer.Therefore, no significant impacts would occur. N c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? ° N �- No Impact. Future development associated with the proposed project would not require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities beyond those already �f�i considered under the General Plan Update.Although the character of the station areas would change and w mixed uses would be introduced underthe proposed project,the uses themselves would not be new as they a are already permitted underthe existing General Plan and zoning designations.As a standard requirement of t7 all new developments, project applicants are required to submit for review and approval by the City y comprehensive grading and drainage plans and a hydrology study for construction projects.The plans and study are required to demonstrate how surface water will be collected onsite and conveyed to existing storm - drain facilities. Additionally, as with development associated with the 2005 General Plan Update, future .� m development anticipated under the proposed project would be assessed Development Impact Fees for � storm drains as in Section 3.27.105(Storm Drain Development Impact Fee-Findings)of the City's Municipal «° Code. Therefore, no significant impacts would occur. E a G d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and � resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? a No Impact. As concluded in the SBGPUEIR, buildout of the General Plan Update (which included development of the project's station areas) would impact water supplies. Although the character of the `m station areas would change and mixed uses would be introduced under the proposed project, the uses E themselves would not be new as they are already permitted under the existing General Plan and zoning designations.Therefore,the proposed project's impacts to water supplies would be similar to those of the a General Plan Update buildout. However, as outlined in the SBGPUEIR, with implementation of Mitigation Measures 5.15-1 (which is reproduced at the end of this section), impacts would be reduced to a less than v significant level. Additionally, as with development anticipated under the General Plan Update, future E development associated with the proposed projectwould have to adhere to the provisions of the City's Water v Wise Landscape Program(Chapter 17.06 of the City's Municipal Code).Additionally,future development in the project's station areas would also have to adhere to the development standards and guidelines outlined a Addendum to San Bernardino General Plan Update EIR City of San Bernardino •Page 105 Packet Pg. 717 6.F.g S. Environmental Analysis in the proposed TD zoning regulations (see Appendix A). For example, one of the guidelines outlined in ° r Section 19.19A.150(Landscape Design)includes the use native and droughttolerant plant materials.Finally, individual development projectswould be required to complywith the provisions of the 2010 Green Building 6 Standards Code, which contains requirements for indoor water use reduction and site irrigation conservation.Therefore, no significant impact on water supplies would occur. w E v e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider,which serves or may serve the v project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the E provider's existing commitments? d v 0 No Impact. See response to Section 5.17.2(a),above. c m f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste n disposal needs? o d No Impact. Future development associated with the proposed project would be served by landfills with p sufficient permitted capacity. Although the character of the station areas would change and mixed uses would be introduced underthe proposed project,the uses themselves would not be new as they are already N permitted under the existing General Plan and zoning designations.Therefore,the amount of solid waste .--, generated by future development associated with the proposed project would be similar to that of development anticipated under the General Plan Update. As concluded in the SBGPUEIR, local landfills c would be able to handle the amount of refuse from San Bernardino and other surrounding communities for 2 some time and legislative requirements (e.g.,Assembly Bill 939 [AB 939])are in place for planning of new landfills in advance of closure of existing landfills. In addition, the City of San Bernardino Refuse and fir.. Recycling Division is continuing to participate and maintain AB 939 goals and guidelines. For example,the W Refuse and Recycling Division would continue to provide curbside recycling and green waste pickup for both w commercial and household materials.Continuation of the recycling program and education on composting a efforts would result in achieving the desired goal of 50 percent waste diversion in compliance with the CO Assembly Bill 939. Implementation of the proposed project would not hinder efforts to achieving this rn requirement as educational material on reducing waste, recycling and composting would be provided to v commercial and residential users.Furthermore,future development projects associated with the proposed project would be required to comply with the provisions of the 2010 Green Building Standards Code,which d outlines requirements for construction waste reduction, material selection, and natural resource 0 conservation.Therefore, no significant impacts would occur.

An attractive transit station with surrounding pedestrian amenities as the focus of E the transit-oriented development area. z. An appropriate mix and intensity of uses such as office,retail, entertainment, 0 residential,and recreational facilities that support transit use and are designed for convenient access by transit riders, pedestrians,and bicyclists. 3. Inviting and pedestrian-focused open spaces on both public and private N properties, such as smaller public pocket parks, civic plazas,outdoor dining areas, o common greens,and other types of urban spaces. d 4. A walkable and bikeable area with pleasant connections linking transit stations \rr UJ with businesses and neighborhoods. w D 5. An interconnected street and non-vehicular network where walkways, bikeways, a 0 landscaping,and other streetscape amenities receive priority. m w v 19.t9A.02o Applicability v The Transit Overlay District(TD)applies to transit station areas within San o Bernardino.The TD establishes standards and regulations beyond those required by E the underlying base zones.Whenever the requirement of the TD conflicts with the v' underlying base zone,the requirement of the TD shall govern. 9 As transit service is expanded within San Bernardino, additional areas may be a designated as TD within the city.TD boundaries may also be expanded over time as ` development becomes more transit oriented. Boundary adjustments within a half E mile of a transit station may be proposed by an applicant and approved at the discretion of the Community Development Director.The boundaries for each station a area are established below,as shown in Figures t to 13. c m The TD standards apply to the establishment of all new structures and uses within E r the boundaries of the TD. Existing structures and uses those are inconsistent with the TD standards may be maintained,repaired,altered,and expanded only as allowed by a Chapter 19.62(Nonconforming Structures and Uses). z Packet Pg: 728 Figure 1.

Village/Urban Center Station Areas.This type of station area serves as a high- activity center and village center for nearby residential neighborhoods,up to a half mile radius.The area contains a variety of neighborhood and community S level retail uses and services,along with the integration of higher intensity housing including student housing,and offices uses in a mixed-use z° configuration.The transit stations within this station area type are designed as either a pull-up station along an arterial,or as an in-line station.The following E transit station areas are identified as Village/Urban Center Station areas: E 1) University Avenue and North Parkway a 0 z) E Street and North Mall Way v c D. Downtown Station Area.This type of station area is intended for the highest E intensity of development within in the city.The downtown station areas o contain a planned mix of employment-intensive office,civic uses,regional- w level retail and service uses,entertainment,hospitality,education,hospital or medical facilities,and high density residential uses in a compact urban form. Uses are to be served by an interconnected multi-modal transportation center and public spaces network that will accommodate the highest levels of N pedestrian activity.The following transit station areas are identified as o Downtown Station Areas: "- v 1) E Street and Court Street w z) E Street and Rialto Avenue a E. Employment Center Station Areas.This type of station area serves as in concentrated employment areas within the city.They contain a mix of office or high employment industrial uses, educational or technical training institutions,hospital or medical facilities,supporting retail,restaurant, entertainment,and other similar services. Higher density residential o development,in mixed-use configurations,may also be located in E Employment Center Station Areas.The transit stations within this station area type are designed as either a pull-up station along an arterial,or as an in-line v station.The following transit station areas are identified as Employment a Center Station: LL c v 1) Hospitality Lane and Hunts Lane E u z) Hospitality Lane and Carnegie Drive 3) Hospitality Lane and Tippecanoe Avenue m E U U N Q 17 Pg.743 6.F.g 19.19A.040 General Provisions A. Precedence.The requirements of this chapter take precedence over the q citywide regulations found elsewhere in the City of San Bernardino Development Code. In the event of a conflict between this chapter and other z6 portions of the Development Code,the provisions of this chapter shall govern. d B. Build-to Line.This chapter establishes standards for a Build-to Line(s)that apply to the TDs. Build-to Line is a line(s)established at a certain distance from the corresponding lot line along which the building,or a portion thereof,must a N be built.The purpose of the build-to line is to ensure that redevelopment o within the TD is well integrated with adjacent development and enhances the design character of existing streets,where appropriate. Build-to Lines also help to create consistent and strong pedestrian and public spaces that o advance commercial development and activity.The location of applicable Build-to Lines is shown on Figures 1 through 13 of this chapter. Standards that o apply to properties adjacent to a Build-to Line are located in Section 19.19A.05o below. C. Modifications to Existing Development.All legally established structures and uses within the TD which do not confirm with the standards contained within 3 this chapter shall be deemed legal nonconforming uses and/or structures.The v r^ repair,renovation,and minor expansion to these uses and structures shall be allowed as permitted by Chapter 19.62(Nonconforming Structures and Uses). w 19.i9A.05o Building Form and Placement Standards m A. Purpose and Intent.This section establishes standards for building form and placement within the TD.Customized standards are provided for each station w area type.The intent of these standards is to ensure excellence in community and building design in order to create a vibrant and well-defined public realm o that is pedestrian-friendly and supports transit use. E v B. Standards Established.

In d general, successful transit oriented districts are well-used and well-loved people places,enriched by a dynamic mix of land uses,defined street-adjacent o architecture, and comfortable urban spaces.Transit oriented districts are highly permeable,composed of an extensive network of transit modes that physically and visually link to the greater community,encouraging enhanced connectivity E that ultimately embraces transit ridership. d d The essence of a sustainable transit district is found in an integrated system of ° commercial,residential, employment,and recreation uses coupled with a diversity of alternative circulation/transportation features that knit the district together in an integrated and holistic fashion.The goal is a low-carbon district N with a sense of place,concentration of activities coupled with urban spaces,and o efficient architecture where daily life can unfold. • Create a density gradient,locating the highest intensity/density land uses closestJ� w to transit stations,transitioning outward a. to lower intensity/density uses. m w • Locate pedestrian and transit-friendly v commercial activities at the ground level, office and residential above where U supported by the market. Use ground- ° floor storefront windows to enliven the E v street by providing visual interest that encourages people to walk and take v transit. a LL • Provide civic amenities and urban open d space uses within transit districts designed to serve transit users and residents. a E L V F Q 29 -Packet Pg.755 6.F.g • Develop a hierarchy of street designs that vary in modal emphasis, providing a balanced transportation system that o accommodates transit,automobiles, bicyclists,and pedestrians. d Z • Intensify building masses at corners to d accommodate pedestrian generating uses that enhance ridership P2 a • Locate primary building entrances facing the public street,with clear connections f 0 to the adjacent sidewalk, ensuring pleasant and simple access for o pedestrians. o • Provide a pedestrian-scaled street o network composed of a dense grid of streets with short, direct connections between land uses and transit amenities. N Provide connections to local and regional multiuse paths and trails that o encourage longer walking and bicycle trips improving accessibility for transit users. � Configure parking to be unobtrusive by orienting parking away from the w pedestrian realm, behind buildings, in structures,or underground. Utilize on- a street parking,where feasible,to reduce off-street parking requirements, m providing parking opportunities to adjacent retail and service uses. U' d • Combine traditional ground-floor storefront commercial facilities at corner r transit stop locations,enhancing"trip chaining"—performing one or more U errand on the same trip. ° E • Promote an interconnected street network and the use of short blocks(two to five net acres)to increase vehicular and pedestrian route choice,thus v enhancing connectivity,reducing trip length and vehicular greenhouse gas a (GHG)emissions. LL c • Promote tight urban blocks that are not dominated by large surface parking E areas,reducing convection losses and heat gains as adjacent buildings protect Ci one another from the wind and sun. a • Use street trees to modify the climate in a passive way(absorbing rather that d reflecting heat energy,leaving opposed to the use of tacked-on architectural "green-bling." a • Create high-performance,energy-efficient buildings and infrastructure. 30 •Pg: 756 6.F.g ig.igA.130 Site Planning and Architectural Design A. Site Planning.Site planning within c the TD should promote traditional time honored building placements d while accommodating pedestrian Z plazas,courtyards,and parking located internal to the site.The goal is to place buildings adjacent £ to the public streetscape in order to enhance the pedestrian o experience by creating an enclosed u c and defined environment,while sensitively accommodating the automobile.This traditional setting fosters a o people-oriented environment in which the needs of everyday life are easily accessible.These guidelines are also intended to accommodate a wide variety o of building typologies,in an effort to create a dynamic environment that promotes connectivity,walkability,commerce,jobs/housing balance,and transit ridership. N C t) Residential Site Planning.The °- y residential site planning >, guidelines address a wide range of architectural typologies w designed to create a fine- a grained district image.The " m intent is to sensitively m orchestrate the location, d placement,and orientation of r various multifamily attached dwelling types consistent with ° the nature of transit oriented development districts.What is envisioned is a small-scale"smattering"of traditional housing types—courtyard housing, row houses,stacked flats—seamlessly integrated into the fabric G of the district. Ultimately,the goal is to disperse a wide variety of traditional multi-family attached dwelling types throughout the transit c district,oriented toward the public realm,as opposed to internal oriented E gated mega-complexes. By sensitively siting multifamily dwelling types, it is envisioned that higher-density dwellings will successfully blend into the a TD,welcoming a variety of living arrangements and associated lifestyles. c u E s u R a 31 Packet Pg. 757 6.F.g z) Commercial and Office Site Planning.The commercial and office site planning guidelines are IMW intended to promote time- honored building placements to 0 z concentrate live-work, mixed- � use, and office structures to E frame and enclose the public streetscape. Buildings are to be placed near to the public d streetscape in order to create an enclosed and defined environment that o U promotes commerce,social interaction,and transit ridership.The purpose i is to create a fine-grained environment whereby modest live-work { housing coexists with higher-intensity mixed use and office nodes and o i adjacent residential neighborhoods.This traditional setting fosters a ; people-oriented environment in which the needs of everyday life are easily o accessible—an atmosphere that places automobiles behind buildings, v i concentrates activities,defines urban space,and promotes building placements that celebrate people. N B. Architectural Design and Image.The ° y San Bernardino Transit Overlay CDistrict architectural image is born out of a desire to create enduring w and human-scaled expressions rooted in the traditional architectural 0 heritage of the region.This w traditional architectural image d typically fosters a people-oriented r environment characterized by a L) variety of building designs that frame and define the public streetscape. E E All elements of architecture were traditionally constructed of highly durable w materials,defined by a discernible base, middle,and top that add architectural v rhythm to the streetscape. Composed of both modern interpretations and a traditional architectural precedents, architecture should be defined by cultural influences,graced by indigenous materials, and constructed with the time- d honored design principles of mass,scale,and rhythm.The following most common architectural typologies are defined for the TD: courtyard housing, row houses, stacked flats, live-work units,mixed-use,and office buildings.The a guidelines do not preclude variations in these types of development or other residential and non-residential products to be built. Ultimately,the purpose is t to avoid superficial"franchise style"architecture in favor of a more traditional architectural image that embraces enjoyable life on the street. a 32 Packet Pg. 758 i) Courtyard Housing.Courtyard , Ty, housing is defined by multi-story L building masses containing individual b dwelling units that commonly N i enclose a centralized outdoor private d courtyard space oftentimes z containing formal gardens and E decorative pavers. j � Courtyard housing consists of: a m a • Two to four story building masses that frame and define the public c0 streetscape. d • Building masses enclose internally oriented courtyard space. E j • Building frontages orient toward the public streetscape and internal N courtyard. d 0 • Modest building insets accommodate front yard gardens and forecourts. Individual unit frontages should be accessed directly from the street and internal courtyard. • Rear-oriented enclosed garages are accessed from a rear alley. y (�^ Traditionally within mild Mediterranean climates, such as Southern v California,courtyard housing was employed to capitalize on the positive W indoor/outdoor relationship characterized by multi-story building masses that frame and enclose positive garden space.The attraction of courtyard in housing is its ability to function as a collection of individual units with w private entries,yet having access to common space amenities. d r d U d 4 a LL G d E U N a C d E U U 2 a 33 Packet Pg.759 6.F.g The design guidelines for courtyard housing include the following: AM >. . „..... d o � N 6 Z c E c v E Q v 0 0 U c e E o. 0 m O b C N N a.

Landscape Image.The San Bernardino Transit Overlay District landscape o pattern is intended to project a formal impression designed to reinforce the transit village image, rooted in the landscape heritage of the region.This formal landscape pattern justifies itself through the use of consistent street tree plantings which form tree-lined rows that frame and define the o streetscape while shading and sheltering pedestrians from the elements. Public urban open spaces,such as plazas and courtyards,formal tree plantings create a framework outlining these public oriented amenities.Within TDs,the c landscape image is designed to reinforce a pedestrian dominated w environment that celebrates human culture rather than the automobile to a create a sense of place while reinforcing the higher intensity nature of these m transit nodes as commercial,residential and employment hubs of the v j community.

An attractive transit station with surrounding pedestrian amenities as the focus of the transit-oriented development area. z. An appropriate mix and intensity of uses such as office,retail,entertainment, residential,and recreational facilities that support transit use and are designed for convenient access by transit riders,pedestrians,and bicyclists. 3. Inviting and pedestrian-focused open spaces on both public and private o properties,such as smaller public pocket parks,civic plazas,outdoor dining areas, d common greens, and other types of urban spaces. > c 4. A walkable and bikeable area with pleasant connections linking transit stations with businesses and neighborhoods. v 5. An interconnected street and non-vehicular network where walkways, bikeways, c landscaping,and other streetscape amenities receive priority. Di m U t9.t9A.02o Applicability v The Transit Overlay District(TD)applies to transit station areas within San o Bernardino.The TD establishes standards and regulations beyond those required by the underlying base zones.Whenever the requirement of the TD conflicts with the o underlying base zone,the requirement of the TD shall govern. o As transit service is expanded within San Bernardino,additional areas may be m designated as TD within the city.TD boundaries may also be expanded over time as ° development becomes more transit oriented. Boundary adjustments within a half mile of a transit station may be proposed by an applicant and approved at the £ discretion of the Community Development Director.The boundaries for each station A area are established below,as shown in Figures 1 to 13. a The TD standards apply to the establishment of all new structures and uses within the boundaries of the TD. Existing structures and uses those are inconsistent with the z Packet Pg. 872 ATTACHMENT 1 C TD standards may be maintained,repaired,altered,and expanded only as allowed by E Chapter 19.62(Nonconforming Structures and Uses).

Purpose and Intent.The following design guidelines are intended to direct the 2 physical design of building sites,architecture,and landscape elements located o within the City's Transit Overlay District(TD).This comprehensive approach represents a more understandable and predictable role in shaping each TD's v° physical future by emphasizing community form,architectural typologies,and landscape design that reinforce traditional and modern development patterns. In the Downtown,Village/Urban Center,and Employment Center N station areas,contemporary architecture that has a strong pedestrian orientation,visual interest on the ground floor,quality long lasting materials, human scale,and articulated facades are also encouraged.The guidelines are intended to complement the mandatory TD development regulations contained in this chapter by providing design solutions and interpretations of 61 the mandatory regulations. °- N N B. Applicability.The guidelines shall apply to all development within the TD �,. districts.Any addition, remodeling, relocation,or construction requiring a d building permit within the TD districts that is subject to review by the U v Development Review Committee shall adhere to these guidelines where applicable. Unless there is a compelling reason,these guidelines shall be $ followed. If a guideline is waived by the Development Review Committee,the Mayor and Common Council shall be notified.An appeal,which does not require a fee, may be filed by the Mayor and Common Council person within 15 days of the waiver approval. 0 C. Interpretation.Compliance with a design guideline written as a "should"is discretionary.A design guideline written with an action verb(e.g., provide, use,locate, create,establish, employ)is highly recommended.

BRT,bus,shuttle, pedestrian, and automobiles. E a 0 Transit oriented development is intended to maximize access to mass transit amenities with o centrally located transit stations commonly surrounded by relatively high-intensity commercial,office,and residential development. In general, successful transit oriented districts are well-used and well-loved people places, enriched by a dynamic mix of land uses,defined street-adjacent architecture,and comfortable urban spaces. 2 Transit oriented districts are highly permeable, composed of an extensive network of transit modes that physically and visually link to the greater community, encouraging N enhanced connectivity that ultimately embraces transit ridership. C+ The essence of a sustainable transit district is found in an integrated system of cI commercial, residential, employment,and recreation uses coupled with a diversity of 2 .y alternative circulation/transportation features that knit the district together in an integrated and holistic fashion.The goal is a low-carbon district with a sense of place, concentration of activities coupled with urban spaces,and efficient architecture d where daily life can unfold. N m • Create a density gradient, locating the highest intensity/density land uses closest to transit stations,transitioning outward to lower intensity/density uses. a • Locate pedestrian and transit-friendly T commercial activities at the ground level, office and residential above where supported o by the market. Use ground-floor storefront o windows to enliven the street by providing x visual interest that encourages people to walk o and take transit. c • Provide civic amenities and urban open space E uses within transit districts designed to serve transit users and residents. a d 29 a Packet Pg. 839 6.F.1 ATTACHMENT 1 • Develop a hierarchy of street designs that t E vary in modal emphasis, providing a balanced transportation system that E accommodates transit,automobiles, d bicyclists,and pedestrians. • Intensify building masses at comers to e accommodate pedestrian generating uses o that enhance ridership Il > d 0 • Locate primary building entrances facing the public street,with clear connections m to the adjacent sidewalk,ensuring pleasant and simple access for pedestrians. •° • Provide a pedestrian-scaled street network composed of a dense grid of streets with short, direct connections between land uses and transit amenities. Provide `g connections to local and regional multiuse paths and trails that encourage longer A walking and bicycle trips improving accessibility for transit users. N • Configure parking to be unobtrusive by orienting parking away from the o; pedestrian realm, behind buildings, in structures, or underground. Utilize on- street parking,where feasible,to reduce off-street parking requirements, o providing parking opportunities to adjacent retail and service uses. v • Combine traditional ground-floor storefront commercial facilities at corner transit d stop locations, enhancing"trip chaining"—performing one or more errand on the 0 same trip. d v • Promote an interconnected street network and the use of short blocks(two to five net acres)to increase vehicular and pedestrian route choice,thus enhancing ; connectivity,reducing trip length and vehicular greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions. • Promote tight urban blocks that are not dominated by large surface parking o areas,reducing convection losses and heat gains as adjacent buildings protect one another from the wind and sun. v 0 • Use street trees to modify the climate in a passive way(absorbing rather that reflecting heat energy, leaving opposed to the use of tacked-on architectural "green-bling." o • Create high-performance,energy-efficient buildings and infrastructure. a E L u m Q c m E L U R a 30 PacketPg.840 6.F.1 ATTACHMENT 1 Gig.t9A.130 Site Planning and Architectural Design A. Site Planning.Site planning within £ the TD should promote traditional d time honored building placements o while accommodating pedestrian plazas,courtyards,and parking located internal to the site.The o 0 goal is to place buildings adjacent to the public streetscape in order o" to enhance the pedestrian experience by creating an enclosed v ti and defined environment,while sensitively accommodating the automobile.This traditional setting fosters a o people-oriented environment in which the needs of everyday life are easily 2 accessible.These guidelines are also intended to accommodate a wide variety of building typologies, in an effort to create a dynamic environment that N promotes connectivity,walkability,commerce,jobs/housing balance,and transit ridership. ILI r) Residential Site Planning.The = N residential site planning guidelines address a wide range of architectural typologies v designed to create a fine- 9 grained district image.The intent is to sensitively orchestrate the location, placement, and orientation of various multifamily attached dwelling types consistent with v the nature of transit oriented development districts.What is envisioned is a small-scale"smattering"of traditional housing types—courtyard housing,row houses,stacked flats—seamlessly integrated into the fabric o' of the district. Ultimately,the goal is to disperse a wide variety of traditional multi-family attached dwelling types throughout the transit district,oriented toward the public realm,as opposed to internal oriented c gated mega-complexes. By sensitively siting multifamily dwelling types, it is envisioned that higher-density dwellings will successfully blend into the TD,welcoming a variety of living arrangements and associated lifestyles. o a d E A Q 31 Packet Pg.847 6:F.1 ATTACHMENT 1 z) Commercial and Office Site j E Planning.The commercial and office site planning guidelines are E d intended to promote time- honored building placements to 0 concentrate live-work, mixed- use, and office structures to E frame and enclose the public o streetscape. Buildings are to be placed near to the public o streetscape in order to create an enclosed and defined environment that promotes commerce,social interaction, and transit ridership.The purpose is to create a fine-grained environment whereby modest live-work m housing coexists with higher-intensity mixed use and office nodes and o adjacent residential neighborhoods.This traditional setting fosters a people-oriented environment in which the needs of everyday life are easily accessible an atmosphere that places automobiles behind buildings, N concentrates activities,defines urban space, and promotes building placements that celebrate people. i 5-. Architectural Design and Image.The 2 y San Bernardino Transit Overlay District architectural image is born out of a desire to create enduring = and human-scaled expressions v rooted in the traditional architectural heritage of the region.This a traditional architectural image d typically fosters a people-oriented = environment characterized by a c variety of building designs that frame and define the public streetscape. o T N All elements of architecture were traditionally constructed of highly durable a materials, defined by a discernible base,middle,and top that add architectural 0 rhythm to the streetscape. Composed of both modern interpretations and ° traditional architectural precedents,architecture should be defined by cultural m influences,graced by indigenous materials,and constructed with the time- o honored design principles of mass,scale, and rhythm.The following most common architectural typologies are defined for the TD: courtyard housing, row houses,stacked flats, live-work units, mixed-use,and office buildings.The guidelines do not preclude variations in these types of development or other ° residential and non-residential products to be built. Ultimately,the purpose is a to avoid superficial "franchise style"architecture in favor of a more traditional d architectural image that embraces enjoyable life on the street. s U R Q 32 r-1-1 acket Pg.842 6.F.1 ATTACHMENT 1 t) Courtyard Housing.Courtyard £ \.. housing is defined by multi-story �. building masses containing individual E dwelling units that commonly m enclose a centralized outdoor private o courtyard space oftentimes containing formal gardens and E decorative pavers. c v Courtyard housing consists of: o" • Two to four story building masses that frame and define the public u° streetscape. • Building masses enclose internally oriented courtyard space. • Building frontages orient toward the public streetscape and internal °- N courtyard. > • Modest building insets accommodate front yard gardens and N forecourts. C; • Individual unit frontages should be accessed directly from the street and internal courtyard. c • Rear-oriented enclosed garages are accessed from a rear alley. v Traditionally within mild Mediterranean climates,such as Southern California, courtyard housing was employed to capitalize on the positive indoor/outdoor relationship characterized by multi-story building masses that frame and enclose positive garden space.The attraction of courtyard housing is its ability to function as a collection of individual units with private entries, yet having access to common space amenities. d U C C d > Q H m D c v E L U A Q C d E L U N a 33 Packet Pg: 843 6.F.1 ATTACHMENT 1 The design guidelines for courtyard housing include the following: E AM �— c d a v 0 0 U C d E a 0 v _ m m a u-. rn 0 N N C6 a.

The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians are a Serrano people whose ancestors inhabited a large area of San Bernardino County.The Tribe appreciates the m opportunity to comment on the TD Overlay.The Tribe actively participates in and supports community and regional economic and social initiatives. The Tribe maintains a close spiritual relationship to many important cultural places in the landscape and feels a keen stewardship obligation to protect and preserve these. The Tribe actively engages in consultation and n preservation efforts of cultural resources throughout San Bernardino county. The Tribe supports a long range plan that employs a sustainable communities strategy in siting transportation E projects and in land use,open space and preservation of biological and cultural resources. E 0 U� The Tribe believes that it is essential that the City of San Bernardino and other regional agencies x establish a meaningful and timely consultation process with the Tribe in accord with the unique legal relationship existing between the United States and Indian Tribal governments and the state E of California as set forth in California Senate Bill 18. The Tribe looks forward to continuing working with the City in order to implement this consultation. The Tribe's experience has shown a that regular and meaningful consultation, resulting in meaningful and timely process of seeking, discussing and considering carefully the views of others in a manner that is cognizant of all E parties' cultural values and where feasible seeking agreement is most effective. m a 26569 Community Center Drive • HO[and, CA 92346 • Office: (909)864-8933 • FAX ---_--------- __.__ _ 6.F.m San Manuel Band of Mission Indians The Tribe offers the following language it feels strengthens the processes for protection of cultural resources in relation to the TD Overlay and the associated SBGPU EIR,specifically to Section 5.5.3 Mitigation Measures Identified in the SBGPU EIR and Applicable to the Proposed Project, GP 5.4-2 in the ADDENDUM TO THE.-SAN BERNARDINO GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND ASSOCIATED SPECIFIC PLANS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT z° REPORT, SCH NO. 2004111132.

In PROJER NO. COSB-18.OL C 0 y The Planning CenterlDC&E prepared the Addendum to the previously certified City of San Bernardino 2005 General Plan Update(SBGPU EIR)and Associated Specific Plans Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse -- No. 2004111132. It serves as the environmental review for the proposed Transit Overlay District (TD) zoning designation and associated development standards and design guidelines for areas surrounding the City's transit °01 stations(proposed project). The TD and its regulations are proposed in order to implement the City's General Plan °I policies promoting transit-oriented development. Initially the proposed TD was processed with a zone change ° only. However, it was determined through the entitlement process that a general plan amendment would be w required in order to update the General Plan Land Use Map to provide consistency between the City's zoning D code and general plan. a m Since it was determined that a general plan amendment would also be required, the project was then required to rn comply with the Native American Indian Tribal Consultation pursuant to the statutory requirements of Senate Bill ° 18 (Chapter 905, Statutes of 2004). Government Code §65352.3 requires local governments to consult with E tribes prior to the adoption or amendment of a general plan or specific plan proposed on or after March 1, 2005. As detailed further below, Mitigation Measure 5.4-2 was revised as a result of consultation with the San Manuel v Band of Mission Indians. v a L The change in the project description and to the mitigation measure would not result in changes to any of the 0 environmental impacts identified in the Addendum, because there would be no change to the allowable number E of units, square footage or intensity of development. With respect to the project findings, the changes to the w project and mitigation would not affect any of the impact determinations made with regard to the quality of the m environment, including, but not limited to fish and wildlife, sensitive habitats, or California history or prehistory. ao Nor would the revisions to the project cause an adverse effect on human beings, either directly or indirectly, since to no new development or change in land uses is being proposed. Therefore, the revisions to the project would not J result in substantial changes resulting in new significant environmental impacts or the type of significant new c information that would require preparation of a subsequent EIR or supplemental EIR pursuant CEQA Guideline E Sections 15162 or 15163, respectively. m The changes to the project description resulting from GPA 12-01 and revised Mitigation Measure GP 5.4-2 resulting from the Native American Tribal Consultation are discussed in further detail below. w © U Orange County • Northern California • Los Angeles/Downtown • Los Angeles/West - Inland Empire • San Diego Q 3 MaNA6ur PR¢e SuRe 1100 1 Eama M G 92707 1714,966.9220 1 714.96.9221 QI www.plannlnum,1 r.eam `P�' g Pg.872 6.F.n June 4,2012 Page 2 0 N 2 E d E M C N E d a 0 U c E Project Description g d The proposed General Plan Amendment 12-01 would update the City's General Plan land Use Map to allow 0 implementation of Development Code Amendment No. 12-01,which would amend Article I—General Provisions, Section 19.02.060, Establishment of Land Use Zoning Districts to add Transit Overlay District (TD) and amend Article II — Land Use Zoning Districts, to add Section 19.19A Transit Overlay District to the Development Code pertaining to development standards and design guidelines. c Presently, there are no specific land use designations for TD in the City's General Plan Land Use Map. Generally, 4 State law requires that the City's General Plan Land Use Map and zoning regulations be consistent. The proposed General Plan Amendment will update the City's General Plan Land Use Map to add Transit Overlay District (TD). The proposed amendment will not change the underlying land use designations for the CCS-1, CG-1, CG-2, CG-3, w CH, CO, CR-1, CR-2, CR-3, IH, IL, DIP, PCR, PF, PFC, RH, RM, RMH, RS, and RU districts and will only serve as an overlay designation to allow for the development of 13 transit station areas, otherwise not currently permitted in o Q the City's General Plan Land Use Map pursuant to Development Code Section 19.02.060 (2). m� 0 No development/construction is proposed as part of General Plan Amendment No. 12-01.

E • The transformation of L.A. has been amazing. There is no reason why San Bernardino m cannot do the same. v 0 • It works,it makes places safer and improves the quality of life. • It is good for the region and the city: E • He is a resident of San Bernardino County and proud to be a representative of SCAG. o • He supports the TD Overlay Ordinance as it does help communities transform themselves into livable communities. o Randall Lewis, 1156 N. Mountain Ave.,Upland, Ca 91786: Proponent N • Representing the Lewis Group of Companies. • There is a growing recognition that land use decisions, transportation decisions and c economic development decisions have to be made together. This links the three. 4 N • Where do we want to see investments in infrastructure? Seeing investments into > infrastructure is like a gift that keeps on giving. Investing in infrastructure provides jobs. It can help a city or region for decades to come. (�' • The market point of view is another important point to provide an edge to future home �•/ buyers, "it gives you an edge." The kinds of people that are going to be buying homes, opening up businesses and shopping at stores are looking at transit as an important . component in their decision making. It allows for a number of different housing types, allowing the market to select which housing type would work best. g • It will help the City a great deal in branding the City. It will send a powerful message 5 that San Bernardino does mean business, is investing in the future and wants to do what it can to attract high quality development in the future. u • Last point is competition - one of the things the private sector has learned during the a downturn is that people have choices in where to live and business have choices to invest `o their dollars. This would give San Bernardino a real competitive edge over many of the cities in the region. E E • The housing Lewis Group Companies are developing now are dramically different than r' the housing they did 20 or 30 years ago. • He sees what is being accomplished with the new ordinance, it is "future proofing" the community in that it may probably be right for 2012, but if it is not, is surely right for E z 2016.

E a • It has been noted that many of the buses currently operating now are empty. • Putting more low-income housing is not ownership. We don't need this. a • What we need is to spend Measure I money, the gas tax, on what it was intended for o which street repair(fixing potholes) and lights. U c m John Shumway, 2082 Business Center Drive, Irvine,CA 92612: Proponent a 0 a • Representing the Urban Land Institute(ULI). ,', • Taking a bold step to introduce a new ordinance that outlines land uses around transit stations with the goal of encouraging high transit usage can be the future roadmap for N sustainable communities. • The principles of compact transit districts: connectivity and street patterns, walkability, place making and building and architecture and street landscaping, diversity of housing 0 types- are all consistent with a vision of a more compact,pedestrian oriented community. ' • ULI urges the City to consider those recommendations made by the ULI panel in 2007. m m Mott Smith,400 Mt.

AUTHORITIES These guidelines are adopted by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority relating to 0 expenditures by local jurisdictions of revenues generated by the Measure I Retail Transactions 0 and Use Tax. San Bernardino Associated Governments(SANBAG)is the County Transportation Authority. Responsibilities of the Authority are outlined in Revenue and Taxation Code Part 1.6, E Public Utilities Code Division 19, and San Bernardino County Transportation Authority o Ordinances 89-1 and 90-1. w m It. RESPONSIBILITIES SANBAG has full administrative authority for the Valley Expenditure Program, specifically the N Major Projects,Arterial, Commuter Rail, Elderly and Handicapped Transit, and Traffic Management Implementation and Environmental Enhancement Programs.The Valley Local Distribution Program, however, represents funds directly apportioned to Valley jurisdictions for local discretionary use. Determination of the projects to be funded by the Local Distribution 4 Program will be at the discretion of the city/county governing body as adopted in the Five-Year 2A Capital Improvement Program and Twenty-Year Transportation Plan of each jurisdiction. Each � local jurisdiction shall provide the Authority with a copy of the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program and Twenty-Year Transportation Plan adopted annually. E d Different provisions apply for the administration of the Mountain/Desert Expenditure Program. o Measure I revenues in the Mountain/Desert programs(local, arterial/regional, and elderly and s N handicapped transit)are distributed directly to each local jurisdiction. Determination of the local m and arterial regional expenditures in each of the categories will be at the discretion of the C city/county governing body as adopted in the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program and the — Twenty-Year Transportation Plan of each jurisdiction. Each local jurisdiction shall provide the 0 Authority with a copy of the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program and Twenty-Year o, Transportation Plan adopted annually. The determination of elderly and handicapped transit shall take into consideration the Measure I Elderly& Handicapped Guidelines and shall meet maintenance of effort requirements. z c Since the Mountain/Desert Expenditure Plan calls for subarea determination of an arterial N E network and a cooperative expenditure program for accomplishing improvements, there shall be an annual review of the adopted Arterial Program of each jurisdiction within the subarea by the Subarea Committee.Authority staff should be involved for purposes of fund forecasting, a coordination and record-keeping, however, neither Authority staff nor the SANBAG Board shall c exercise an approval function. N E r v Major state highway projects entail considerable complexity and agency interrelationships. ;? Projects may be conceived and developed, usually by more than one local agency in coordination with Caltrans and SANBAG. Because of the State Transportation Improvement Program(STIP) impacts and leveraging opportunities, full Authority/SANBAG involvement is needed on both Valley and Mountain/Desert state highway projects. In the Mountain/Desert,the Subarea Packet Pg. 920 6.F.p ATTACHMENT Committee shall be the focal point for determination and arrangements pertaining to Measure I revenues dedicated to state highways, similar to the process for arterials.Authority/SANBAG staff and Caltrans should also be involved. An annual audit of local jurisdiction expenditures of Measure I funds shall be performed. The b audit will consist of an examination of expenditures after the fact. If an expenditure is for a legal w purpose, valid, and supported by sufficient competent evidential matter, no exception will be deemed necessary.

ULI o explores issues of urbanization,regeneration, land use,capital formation,and sustainable development as well > as advancing land use policy and design practices that respect the uniqueness of both the built and natural o environments. The ULI is recognized as the world's most respected leader in focusing on these priorities and is widely quoted as a source of objective information on urban planning,growth and development. To extend the outreach effort of assisting communities,public entities and nonprofit organizations in solving complex land use problems,difficult development projects and policies,the Institute formed the ULI Advisory Services Panel program in 1947. To date, over 450 Advisory Service Panels have been assembled in a Of continuing effort to find creative and practical solutions for such issues as downtown redevelopment, community revitalization,brownfield redevelopment,military base reuse,and more. In 2007,at the invitation E uJ of the City San Bernardino and the County of San Bernardino, a five-day ULI Advisory Services Panel was m formed to recommend key implementation strategies and policies with specific recommendations for the City d and the County to undertake that included land use changes,transportation improvements,community lifestyle d recommendations, urban design,increased commerce,and government action programs designed to bring J energy,vitality and economic growth back to San Bernardino's central business district. O c u A team of multi-disciplinary professionals,ULI members with expertise related to the issues the region is E facing,was assembled to provide recommendations on how to make the city vibrant,livable,attractive,clean, z and safe with a sustainable mix of uses,anchored by city and county government facilities as well as key a transportation articulations,traversed by green space and streams, filled with retail,office and housing choices, arts and entertainment. E z u The panel found that revitalization efforts in the past in San Bernardino have been too piecemeal to be a successful,despite many efforts. So, the panel recommended to overcome the challenges the City should use a comprehensive strategic plan and see the big picture to focus on making downtown a destination,building an urban village,creating a sense of place,capturing the market and forging partnerships. 6- n'� 4 FPM 6 0 Packet Pg.953 6.F.q The Honorable Patrick J.Morris June 18,2012 Page 2 Taking a bold step to introduce a new ordinance that outlines land uses around transit stations with the goal of encouraging higher transit usage can be a future road map for a sustainable community. The principles of Compact Transit Districts,Connectivity in street patterns,Walkability,Placemaking in building architecture and street landscaping,and Diversity of housing types are all consistent with the vision of a more compact, pedestrian—oriented community,which were also outlined in the 2007 ULI Advisory Services Panel. q N The recommendations that the panel provided just five years ago are still relevant today. As you go forward o during the public hearing and consider implementing a new Transit District Overlay ordinance,we urge you to Z consider the ULI's recommendations. Don't let the extent of research conducted in your community with E various stakeholders sit on a shelf. The ULI commends the City Council and the Community Development staff for bringing this policy to this point.

D Street San Bernardino,CA 92418 0 N Honorable Mayor&Common Council, z° On behalf of Tri City Corporate Center we are supporting the proposed Transit District Overlay E Ordinance. This type of advanced planning will set the stage for high quality development to occur in the areas around proposed transit station locations. The City of San Bernardino is £ taking a positive step forward in developing the District and the tenants at Tri City Corporate Center stand to benefit from its adoption. By reducing the parking requirements in the station location areas, we will be able to better serve the needs of tenants without having to provide C additional parking spaces. The ability to reduce the parking requirements due to the immediate E proximity of transit is something that more cities should be doing, as parking is a significant o consideration and cost of development, d C Another element of the TD Overlay that we are supportive of is the new development standards ; that call for high quality products and landscape screening. We believe that the functionality of a the building and convenient access to lobbies, requires parking to be located on all sides. This can be accomplished with the use of landscape materials that screen the majority of the surface > parking area from street traffic,thereby highlighting the building exterior design and finishes. it U is important that the City receive input from property owners as project design guidelines are X developed so that the needs of all parties are addressed. Furthermore, the City needs a new E economic development strategy supportive of infill development that is not dependent on constant expansion; San Bernardino is a largely built out city and for the City's population and tax base to increase over the next 10-20 years, a plan like the Transit District Overlay is an excellent solution. J 0 We encourage the Mayor & the City Council to support the Transit District Overlay and look m forward to a continued positive working relationship with the City of San Bernardino. s U A Sincerely, a Glenborough,LLC n� U D @&OV Fq Bett�P JUN 8 201T a OM OF General Manage OOMMUNo-",o FRNARD/No Tri-City Corporate Centre D1 a rMENop% 650 East Hospitality Lane,Suite 150•San Bernardino,California 92408•909.381.5301 •fax 909.885-7127 www.glenborougli.com Packet Pg..955 6F.q Sabdi Sanchez ��k From: John Heimann <john @biabuild.com> Sent: - Monday,June 18,2012 2:14 PM To: Sabdi Sanchez Subject: BIA Baldy View Chapter-TOD Comments Please insert submit this letter into the record for the City Council's review for a meeting they will have at 3:00pm today q regarding the issue of the Transit Overlay District. 6 Z Thank you c E E -John � c d E John Heimann a Director of Government Affairs o BIA— Baldy View Chapter u 8711 Monroe Court, Suite B Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 E 909-942.2072 0 www.biabuild.com > 0 From: Carlos Rodriguez Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 2:05 PM To: Casey Dailey(Dailey_Ca @sbcity.org) v Cc: John Heimann Subject: BIA Baldy View Chapter-TOD Comments v Hello Casey, — m E LU Thanks again for speaking with us last Friday about San Bernardino's new Transit Overlay District. Ul Per our discussion,the BIA Baldy View Chapter respectfully submits the following recommendations about the TOD development standards for consideration of Mayor Morris and the City Council including: 0 Ground floor building facade facing a street frontage shall consist of a certain percentage of transparent building materials—excluding residential (page 20) E • Minimum First Floor ceiling height changed from 15'to 12' (page 20) • 8' stepback applicable to 0 floor of development, not on 2n"floor as noted in development code(page 22) G We also would like to offer some additional observations for consideration: E V From a broader perspective,it seems that there is a lack of specificity when it comes to addressing issues such as :". density,floor-to-area ratios,specific changes in future land use designations,etc. This lack of specific development a criteria infers that the applicant should either refer to the City's existing development standards OR should be negotiated with the City at the conceptual phase of the project. From our conversation it appears that the latter is the City's intent; in promoting a specific idea versus listing specific development and design standards which are,for the most part,absent in the document provided.The BIA Baldy View Chapter would like to stress another point made in our conversation: a City initiated hands-on cooperative effort with financial incentives to attract and aaommodate interested developers and applicants to help your TOD become a reality. 1 Packet Pg.956 The city of San Bernardino has averaged approximately 85 residential permits annually issued between 2008-2011. This Is obviously a small fraction of the permit activity of just a few years earlier. Please note,that many developers right now are highly skeptical of venturing into new projects for a variety of reasons all due to our current economic lownturn. In lieu of this, BlAwould highly encourage the City to examine the possibility of providing multiple avenues of financial incentives for future development and to assist applicants with their projects to become more financially realistic. Specifically,we would highly encourage The City to continue to offer various fee decreases,waivers, deferments and fast tracking the entitlement process within your various Transit Districts to encourage growth and eventually Increase a greater and broader scope of economic activity for each of those districts and their respective surrounding areas. 0 N The BIA Baldly View Chapter appreciates the opportunity to discussworkable solutions with the City of San Bernardino.

This type of advance planning will set the stage for high E quality development in the areas around proposed transit stations in San Bernardino. E The City is taking an extremely positive step in developing the TD Overlay.It will be a great inducement d for infill builders to develop more walkable, sustainable, vibrant, transit-friendly projects in existing neighborhoods. Also,by reducing the parking requirements in station areas, it allows money that would have been wasted on under-utilized, expensive parking spaces to be redirected to investments in homes, E business and improved public realms—ell elements of successful transit-oriented development. Reducing o- 0 parking requirements near transit is perhaps the single most helpful thing a city can do to encourage good i TOD,and San Bernardino's leadership is something we hope other cities follow. o We also support the proposed new development standards that call for high quality product and increased N orientation of buildings to the street. Developers appreciate clear guidance from the City as to type,form and quality of building it wishes to see,and we take this guidance seriously. Furthermore, the City of San Bernardino, like so many cities in California, needs a new economic w development strategy based on infill instead of relying on constant outward expansion.San Bernardino is largely built-out,and the TO Overlay provides an excellent means of growing the population and tax base over the next 10-20 years without consuming additional land. W 06 Finally, it is important to note that as the development community slowly recovers from the housing collapse of 2007,demand growth is strongest for multifamily units. A recent report from the California v Building Industry Association shows multifamily unit permits up 37% from January 2011 through J January 2012, while single-family permits have increased by only 3%. I strongly encourage the Mayor and City Council to support the Transit District Overlay. The Infill Builders Federation looks forward to E a continued positive working relationship with the City of San Bernardino. r U N Sincerely, Q c E Mean Kang,Board President California Infill Builders Federa n `l'0 „),��N l �� CDMM�NITQNBF 1p/1 Dep`YO�c OPNO Mott Smith,Board Member /�-1 j,T/,c�FT NT California Infill Builders Federation �r �' , PacketPg. 958 At t ,Y AJ A Honorable Mayor&Common Council City of San Bernardino ? 300 N.D Street San Bernardino,CA 92418woFS N.

Finally, the memorandum covers local authorities' roles with Measure I funds (Attachment N). 0 svfleasis Nang,N 6 z Background: Development Code Amendment (DCA) No. 12-01 is a proposal to amend Chapter 19.02, Basic Provisions, to add Transit Overlay District (TD) and add Section 19.19A, Transit Overlay a District to provide a regulatory framework for Transit Oriented Development (TOD) in the form o of development standards and design guidelines around future transit stops(Attachment A). c d Transit Overlay District (TD): The City has developed a set of zoning regulations surrounding o thirteen(13) future transit stations that fall within the designated overlay district. The regulations 2 are accompanied by a set of development standards and design guidelines that are flexible d enough to allow property owners and developers to express their vision while maintaining a °. consistency in urban form to encourage an attractive multi-modal atmosphere. The TD zoning regulations would apply to the establishment of all new structures and uses within the boundaries of the 13 Bus Rapid Transit(BRT) station areas and future downtown multi-modal transit center. o w Z The City would maintain the existing land use and zoning designations of the affected parcels in o place under the proposed project. New development standards include but are not limited to: LU N • New build-to-line setback requirements to allow buildings to be placed closer to street N frontage with parking at the rear of the site along designated street areas; • Building heights are set differently within each proposed transit stop type with upper story U U step-back requirements and two story maximum building heights when adjacent to single- 2 family residential zone; o d • Building ground floor transparency percentage requirements added by transit station area; m N • Building entrance orientation requirements set for building's main entrance to face Kendall c Drive and E Street frontages; residential transition standards when projects are adjacent to E single-family residential are set to maximum of two stories or 30 feet; : • Reduced on-site parking requirements are provided to encourage the use of the adjacent transit district facility; • One bicycle parking space provided for every 10 automobile parking spaces provided; Page 4 1546 • Street block maximum lengths,with some minor exceptions,reduced to 400 feet; and • General design guidelines with residential and commercial site planning, architectural design, parking design requirements, and street sidewalk landscape recommendations. i An addition to Section 19.19A.040 General Provisions includes new subsection "D" Public Facilities. This section was added to address the unique use of parks, transit station and centers, o and other public facilities. In this section, The Planning Center mentions school districts which are already exempt from the City Development Code requirements by State Law. However, it is z° { mentioned as an example of unique public facility. A similar exemption within the Development Code relates to certain signs installed by recognized civic group, flags, ATM kiosk sign and E official & legal notices by a court or government agency. The specific language added to the TD e Ordinance reads as follows: E a d "D. Public Facilities.

M y CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL OUALITY ACT (CEOA) v E s An Addendum with Mitigation Measures and Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Plan to the i previously certified City of San Bernardino 2005 General Plan Update (SBGPU EIR) and Associated Specific Plans Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2004111132, has been prepared. It serves as the environmental review for the proposed Transit Overlay District (TD)zoning designation and associated development standards and design guidelines for areas surrounding the City's transit stations (proposed project). The TD and its regulations are Page 8 1546 proposed in order to implement the City's General Plan policies promoting transit-oriented development. This draft Addendum with Mitigation Measures and Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Plan is the result of an evaluation of the proposed project in relation to the previously prepared and certified EIR. The evaluation, contained in the addendum, determined that the proposed project does not contain changes and/or additional details that warrant a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR as c described in Sections 15162 and 15163 of the CEQA Guidelines. Upon completion of the Addendum,the City of San Bernardino has determined on the basis of substantial evidence in the z° light of the whole record that the proposed project does not trigger additional CEQA Review. In addition, the addition to Mitigation Measure 5.4-2, as requested by the San Manuel Band of m Mission Indians letter Dated April 18,2012, of the SBGPU Certified EIR has been determined to a not be of significant impact draft Addendum analysis or previously prepared and certified EIR. (Attachment L and M). m a ANALYSIS d Public Outreach: There has been two public outreach efforts prior to drafting of the proposed TD n ordinance. The first public outreach effort consisted of two community open house meetings held on June 15 and 16, 2011. All of the transit district station areas were considered in these noticed > m public meeting. The approach and summary findings are below: ° �o a Open House included three stations: © ° • The Community Meetings solicited public feedback by providing a looping PowerPoint i presentation for participants to view; c • Preference Survey of development types (density and commercial types) was W administered; and N • Station Map Boards were provided to solicit input within the identified stations o throughout the 15.7 mile Bus Rapid Transit(BRT)route that extends between the City of oNo San Bernardino (13 Transit Stops) and Loma Linda(3 Stops). o U Final Report by Arellano and Associates concluded "as a whole the comments received during g the community meetings indicate that the community has a deep desire to see the City improved e and enhanced. Respondents would like more amenities and enhancements and a higher and better mix of uses including a variety of neighborhood serving retail uses. Based on the results of the Preference Survey, the respondents have a desire to see higher-density developments. A number w of well-informed meeting attendees did share their enthusiasm for the higher-density developments and related improvements associated with transit-oriented developments as a E solution to improving the City of San Bernardino." The detailed final report is available online u for review at the Community Development Department's TOD webpage: www.sbcity.ore x <http://www.sbcity.org>. The second approach comprised of neighborhood community meetings. The property owners and registered business owners within and adjacent to the preliminary transit district boundaries were notified of the meeting held at local community facilities or schools. In addition, local churches, Page 9 Packet Pg. 972 1546 neighborhood watch groups, local Rotary Chapter, Indian Tribes, and Neighborhood Cluster Associations were notified of the meetings.
