The site is located north of the San Bernardino Public Golf Course. KEY POINTS• The applicants initiated this proposal by requesting that the IL and OIP designation be changed to PCR for their site located generally southwest of the corner of Waterman Avenue and Dumas Street. The site is vacant. The applicants have indicated their desire to develop the amendment site for recreational uses, possibly a tennis club. However, no development plans were submitted. When the applicants do submit plans, a Development Permit will have to be filed as required by the proposed PCR land use zoning district. Surrounding land uses consist of scattered residential uses and a church to the north; of residential uses, vacant parcels and a golf driving range to the west; of a public golf course to the south; and of a dairy and building materials yard to the east across Waterman Avenue. Upon the adoption of the General Plan on June 2 , 1989, most of the amendment site was designated IL, Industrial Light, but with OIP, Office Industrial Park, on the easterly 300 feet of the site along Waterman. The main portion of the site is orientated to the east towards Waterman Avenue while other industrial parcels in the area are orientated to the north. ® 4 The purpose of the PCR, Public Commercial Recreation, land use designation is to "provide for the continuation of existing and development of new public and private commercial recreation facilities in the City and ensure their compatibility with adjacent uses. The PCR designation will permit the development of the site for public commercial recreation purposes consistent with the existing public recreation facilities in the immediate area including the public golf course and golf driving range to the south and west. The development standards of the proposed PCR land use zoning district will insure the compatibility of any future recreation development with adjacent industrially designated properties. Please see the analysis and attachments contained in Exhibit Staff Report to the Planning Commission. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION This General Plan amendment is subject to the provisions of CEQA. The City's Environmental Review Committee (ERC) reviewed the application on December 10, 1992 and determined that the proposed application would not have an adverse impact on the environment and a Negative Declaration was recommended.

The subject site is an irregularly shaped parcel fronting on the west side of Waterman Avenue approximately 475 feet south of Dumas Street and with additional frontage on Dumas Street at its intersection with Amos Avenue. The site is located north of the San Bernardino Public Golf Course (see Attachment "D") . The applicant would like to develop the site as a tennis club with related facilities; however, no development plans have been submitted at this time. When the applicant does submit plans, a Development Permit will have to filed as required by the PCR, Public Commercial Recreation, land use zoning district. BITE AND AREA CHARACTERISTICS: The irregularly shaped amendment site is comprised of two, coterminous Assessor's Parcels. The southerly parcel, Parcel 141- 431-16, has a street frontage on Waterman Avenue, a Major Arterial , of 396 feet and a depth of 1, 320 feet and is 11.9 acres in size. The northerly parcel, Parcel 141-431-03 , has a frontage of 235 feet on Dumas Street, a local street, and a depth of 480 feet and is 2 .48 acres in size (see Attachment "C") . Both parcels are vacant and are fairly level. Several mature trees exist on the larger parcel. The amendment site appears to have been used for agricultural purposes in the past. Surrounding land uses consist of scattered residential uses and a church to the north; of residential uses, vacant parcels and a golf driving range to the west; of a public golf course to the south; and of a dairy and building materials yard to the east across Waterman Avenue. BACKGROUND: Upon the adoption of the General Plan on June 2 , 1989, the amendment site was designated IL, Industrial Light, and OIP, Office Industrial Park. Prior zoning on the site was "CM" and "M-1" . i GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 92-10 AGENDA ITEM 2 HEARING DATE: MARCH 2 , 1993 PAGE DEVELOPMENT CODE: Section 19 . 10. 010 (2) of the City's Development Code states that the purpose of the PCR, Public/Commercial Recreation, land use zoning district "is to provide for the continuation of existing and development of new public and private commercial recreation facilities which ensure their compatibility with adjacent land uses. " It further stipulates that "sporting facilities" may be permitted subject to the approval of a Development Permit. Section 19. 10. 020 contains additional standards for development of buildings and structures in the PCR land use zoning category. These standards relate to the use, siting criteria, need, landscaping, exterior lighting, visual impacts and compatibility of structures and buildings. CALIpORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL OUALITY ACT (CEOA) STATUS: This General Plan Amendment is subject to the provisions of CEQA. The City's Environmental Review Committee (ERC) reviewed the application on December 10, 1993 and determined that the proposed amendment would not have an adverse impact on the environment and a Negative Declaration was recommended. The public review period for the Initial Study and the proposed Negative Declaration began on December 17 , 1992 and ended on January 6, 1993 . No comments on the proposed Negative Declaration were received. On January 21, 1993 the Environmental Review Committee cleared the project onto the Planning Commission. ANALYSIS• EXISTING LAND USE DESIGNATION Most of the amendment site is in the IL, Industrial Light, land use designation; however, the easterly 300 feet of the site along Waterman Avenue is in the OIP, Office Industrial Park. The purpose of the IL, Industrial Light, is to "retain, enhance, and intensify existing and provide for the new development of light industrial uses along major vehicular, rail, and air transportation routes serving the City of San Bernardino" (General Plan Objective 1. 32) . s a� V GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 92-10 AGENDA ITEM 2 HEARING DATE: MARCH 2 , 1993 PAGE: 3 The purpose of the OIP, Office Industrial Park, is "to establish the Waterman Avenue corridor and other appropriate areas as distinctive office industrial parks and corporate centers serving the San Bernardino community and region" (General Plan Objective 1.31) . The frontage along Waterman was designated OIP because Waterman is a major entryway to the City and the intent was to create an aesthetically pleasing corridor. PROPOSED LAND USE DESIGNATION The purpose of the PCR, Public Commercial Recreation, land use designation is to "provide for the continuation of existing and development of new public and private commercial recreation facilities in the City and ensure their compatibility with adjacent uses" (General Plan Objective 1. 35) . The PCR designation will permit the development of the site for public commercial recreation purposes consistent with the exiting public recreation facilities in the immediate area. The development of the portion of the site fronting on Dumas for public commercial recreation purposes would be also consistent with the existing development pattern in the area. There is a golf-driving range located approximately 200 feet to the west which is located off of Dumas Street. Placing the PCR designation over the entire amendment area will allow greater flexibility in the development of the site; will be consistent with existing development in the area; and will allow additional vehicular access to the site off of Dumas Street. In addition, the development standards of the PCR, land use zoning district cited above will insure the compatibility of any future recreation development with adjacent industrially designated properties. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY Goal lA of the General Plan calls for, among other things, providing for the continuation and development of sufficient land uses to serve the recreation needs of existing residents and population growth. Specifically, General Plan Policy 1. 1. 5 calls for the continuation of existing public facilities in areas of the City designated as "Public/ Commercial Recreation (PCR) " and the establishment of standards and regulations for the development of new facilities to provide for the needs of population growth. The proposed PCR category will be consistent with the provisions of the General Plan. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 92-10 AGENDA ITEM 2 HEARING DATE: MARCH 2, 1993 PAGE: 4 LAND USE COMPATIBILITY Changing the land use designation of the amendment site to PCR will allow for the development of public commercial recreation uses. Properties to the north of the amendment site are designated IL, Industrial Light, on the General Plan but are developed mainly with scattered residential uses. Properties to the west and south are developed with a golf course and driving range. Property to the east is developed with a dairy and building materials yard. Any use allowed in the PCR, land use zoning district will require the filing of a Development Permit. The development standards of the proposed PCR land use zoning district will insure that future commercial development is compatible with the adjacent areas. These standards will control the siting, need, appropriateness, landscaping, exterior lighting, visual analysis, compatibility and harmony of all future structures. The amendment site is located along the westerly side of Waterman Avenue, a Major Arterial , and along Dumas Street, a local street. The proposed amendment to PCR has been reviewed by the City Traffic Engineer who has stated that any mitigation measures required would be developed through a traffic impact study which may be required at the development permit stage. CONCLUSION The amendment site is bounded by public commercial recreation to the south and west. The main portion of the site is orientated to the east towards Waterman Avenue while industrial parcels in the area are orientated to the north. Including the portion fronting on Dumas will allow for the placement of the entire site in one land use category and is compatible with existing land use pattern in the area. The Development Standards will ensure the compatibility of any future public commercial recreation with the adjacent areas. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 92-10 AGENDA ITEM 2 HEARING DATE: MARCH 2, 1993 PAGE: 5 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make a recommendation to the Mayor and Common Council that: 1. A Negative Declaration be adopted in accordance with Section 21080. 1 of CEQA. 2 .

There are no known biological resources or concerns; however, there are several mature trees on the site. The extreme northerly portion of the site is in Airport District Two; the remainder is in Airport District Five. 3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES 3.2.1 Earth Resources 1.a. The ultimate development of the amendment site area would require movement of earth for the construction of building pads, parking areas and sporting facilities (tennis courts) . At this time, the proposed action consists only of an amendment to the General Plan; specific development plans are not available. However, the amendment site is fairly level and it is unlikely that future development would require earth movement of 10, 000 cubic yards or more. 1.b. As noted above the amendment site is relatively flat and no development or grading will take place on slopes greater than 15%. I.C. Portions of the amendment site are situated within the State of California's Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone established for the active Loma Linda Fault. Development of those portions on the site situated within the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone shall be subject to the findings and recommendations of a detailed geologic investigation which will be required at the development permit stage. ® a Initial Study of General Plan Amendment No. 92-10 October 26, 1992 1.Q. through f. The site area contains no unique geologic or physical features. No "blue line" drainages are indicated within the site area. It is not located within an area of high potential for water or wind erosion as identified in Figure 53 of the General Plan. 1.9. The amendment site is located in an area denoted on Figure 48 of the General Plan as being susceptible to High Liquefaction susceptibility. A report addressing the liquefaction issues will be required at the development permit stage. 3.2.2 Air Resources 2.a. and b. Air emissions and odors from future development in the proposed PCR, Public Commercial Recreation, would tend to be kept to a minimum because the maximum development permitted within the proposed land use designation would not qualify as a "regionally significant project" as identified in the AQMD guidelines. Also, all future emissions and odors would be controlled by appropriate regulatory agencies. 2.c. The study area is not located in a high wind hazard area as identified by Figure 59 in the General Plan. 3.2.3 Water Resources 3.a. Public commercial recreation uses of the amendment site will require the construction of impermeable surfaces for building sites, sports facilities, and asphalt parking areas. As a result, absorption rates would be decreased thereby increasing surface runoff. The Department of Public Works will require that the conditions of approval for any future development stipulate the conveyance of drainage runoff to an approved public drainage facility. This will insure that the potential impact is reduced to a level of insignificance. Initial Study for General Plan Amendment No. 92-10 October 26, 1992 3.b. and c. As there are no water courses or bodies of water on or near the amendment site, development of the site will not change the course or flow of flood waters nor discharge into surface waters. 3.d. As noted above, public commercial recreation development would cause the construction of impermeable surfaces such as asphalt or concrete. Engine fluids, residue from automobile tires, solid exhaust particulates and other air emissions as well as chemical pollutants indigenous to automobile usage tend to collect on impermeable surfaces to be worked into the ground water as runoff. If required, mitigation will be determined at the project stage. 3.e. The amendment site is not located within the 100 year flood plain as identified on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Panel Number 060281 0020-A, and in Section 16. 0 - Flooding, Figure 62, of the City's General Plan. 3.2.4 Biological Resources 4.a. through c. All natural vegetation that may have existed on the amendment site was removed when development occurred in the surrounding area or from agricultural usage. The site is not located in the Biological Resource Management Overlay and no unique, rare, or endangered plant or animal species are known to exist on the site. 4.d. There are several viable mature trees on the amendment site. A report by a qualified arborist will be required at the development permit stage. Initial Study for General Plan Amendment No. 92-10 October 26, 1992 3.2 .5 Noise 5.a. and b. The amendment site is located in a noise corridor wherein noise levels are measured between 70 dB(A) and 75 dB(A) (Figure 57 of the General Plan) . The amendment site lies near the Norton Air Force Base. The future noise levels on the site are expected to maintain a similar range (Figure 58 of the General Plan) . As indicated by the Land Use Compatibility for Community Noise Environments Table on page 14-4 of the General Plan, a maximum of 75 dB(A) is conditionally acceptable for outdoor spectator sports only after a detailed analysis of the noise insulation features are included in the design. This analysis will be required at the project development stage. In addition, the amendment site lies partly in Airport District Five. This district is designed to regulate land use in an area characterized as having high noise levels. All new development located in this district shall incorporate a noise level reduction of 20 decibels. 3.2.6 Land Use 6.a. The proposed amendment will change the General Plan designation from IL, Industrial Light, and OIP, Office Industrial Park, to PCR, Public Commercial Recreation. 6.b. The northerly end of the amendment site is located within Airport District Two (AD II) . This overlay district is designed to regulate land use and reduce hazards in areas characterized by high noise levels and a significant accident potential resulting from aircraft operation. Stadiums, sports arenas, and gymnasiums are prohibited. Restaurants are also prohibited except for coffee shops and fast food restaurants. The remainder of the amendment site is located within Airport District Five (AD V) . This district is designed to regulate land uses in areas as having high noise levels. 0 O Initial Study for General Plan Amendment No. 92-10 October 26, 1992 Before development can be approved by the City, an "Airport Safety Review" must be approved by the Airport Land Use Commission for San Bernardino County. This review will insure that no aircraft safety hazards or conflicts result from this proposal. This review will take place at the development permit stage. G.C. The amendment site is not located within Foothill Fire Zones A, B or C. 3.2.7 Man-Made Hazards 7.a. through c. Recreational uses on the amendment site could result in the storage and use of toxic materials. These toxic materials could include a diversity of products such as paints, dry cleaning solvents, detergents, engine fluids, fertilizers and pesticides. However, the recreational nature of future development would limit the intensity and scale of any future use or storage of toxic materials. Specific uses will be addressed at the project development stage with mitigation measures applied if necessary. 3.2.8 Housing 8.a. No existing housing will be lost by a change in the land use designation for the amendment site. 3.2.9 Transportation/Circulation 9.a. through b. The proposed PCR, Public Recreation Commercial, provides for the continuation and the development of new public and private commercial recreation facilities which ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses. Waterman Avenue is a Major Arterial which handles about 26,500 vehicles per day. Dumas Street is a local street. The propose General Plan amendment has been reviewed by the City Traffic Engineer. Any mitigation measures required would be developed through a traffic impact study which may be required at the development permit stage. ® 0 Initial Study for General Plan Amendment No. 92-10 October 26, 1992 3.2.10 Public services 10.a through f. The proposal to change the land use designation to PCR, Public Commercial Recreation, will not impact public services beyond their capability to provide adequate levels of service. Future recreation development of the site would be reviewed for impacts to public services at the project specific stage. However, since the site is located in an urbanized area, it is anticipated that potential impacts upon public services would be insignificant. 3.2.11 utilities 11.a through c. The proposal is to change the land use designation and will not impact utilities beyond the capability to provide adequate levels of service, nor require the construction of new facilities. Future recreational development of the site would be reviewed for impacts to public utilities at the project specific stage. It is unknown at this time if future development of the site will require the construction of new facilities, such as water mains, sewer lines, or other utilities. Standard requirements of the City would ensure that any impacts upon public utilities are mitigated at the time of development. 3.2.12 Aesthetics 12.a. and b. The change of the land use designation to PCR, Public Commercial Recreation, will not affect the aesthetics of the area nor result in adverse visual impacts on the surrounding area. The general development standards of the proposed PCR land use zoning district require: (1) that there be a visual analysis relating building proportions, massing, height and setbacks to preserve and enhance the scenic character of the area; (2) that proposed uses be compatible and in harmony with surrounding development and land use designation; (3) that the proposed use be sited in a manner sensitive to the existing natural resources and constraints of the land; and (4) that the site be landscaped in a manner which complements both the immediate setting and surrounding areas. C 4 Initial Study for General Plan Amendment No. 92-10 October 26, 1992 3.2. 13 Cultural Resources The proposed General Plan Amendment would not result in impacts upon cultural resources since the site is not located in an area of known cultural resources, nor contains structures or objects as listed in the City's Historic Resources Reconnaissance Survey. 3.2.14 MANDATIORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE (Section 15065) 14.a. througbt d. The proposal will result in a General Plan Amendment from IL, Industrial Light, and OIP, Office Industrial Park, to PCR, Public Commercial Recreation. The response to the checklist questions indicate that the project will not result in any significant impacts. No cumulative impacts resulting from the proposed project have been identified. D. DETERMINATION On the basis of this initial study, The proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment and a NEGATIVE DECLARA- TION will be prepared. The proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,although there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described above have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. E] The proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
