6. Public Hearings
6A. Community Development
RES. 2012-240 — Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San
Bernardino Adopting General Plan Amendment No. 11-05 to Amend the Land Use
Designation of Approximately 10.23 Acres from Residential Urban (RU) to Industrial
Heavy (111), and Approving Conditional Use Permit No. 11-16 to Establish an Auto
Dismantling and Salvage Yard with Retail Parts Sales on 10.23 Acres Located at the
South Side of Walnut Street Opposite of Artesian Avenue, and the Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program. (Continued from September 17, 2012.)
The hearing remained open.
Submitted into the record was an Interoffice Memorandum addressed to the Mayor and
Common Council from Aron Liang, Senior Planner, dated October 1, 2012, regarding
Agenda Item 6A - General Plan Amendment No. 11-05 & Conditional Use Permit No.
11-16.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 2000-279, City Clerk Hanna administered an oath to the
following individual that he would provide true and honest testimony.
Public Comments:
Tom Mungari, representing Apple Auto Dismantling, urged adoption of the project. He
stated that the item appeared on the August 20, 2012 Council agenda, but was continued
to resolve some questions that were presented in written comments to the Mitigated
Negative Declaration by the City of Colton. After a series of meetings with Colton City
officials as well as City of San Bernardino staff, those items were resolved. The second
continuance was on September 17, 2012, when there were certain clarifications that were
requested to be made to a condition that was added to mitigate the ponding situation on
the corner of Muscott and West Walnut.
Council Member Marquez stated that she read the backup and perhaps she missed it, but
she understood that the Planning Commission added conditions regarding fencing. She
Oasked Mr. Stewart to elaborate.
Tony Stewart, City Planner, stated that based upon the recent changes to the fencing
ordinance with regard to electrified fencing, Condition No. 24 was added. He stated that
Mayor and Common Council ofthe City of San Bernardino Page 4 Printed 101912012
Joint Regular Meeting Minutes October 1 , 2012
the original proposal called for lower fencing along the side property line adjacent to
where there was a potential for the stacking of certain auto parts that would exceed that
fence height, so the Planning Commission asked for a taller fence in that area that would
also extend for a longer length along that property line to make sure that those stored
items would be appropriately screened.
Ms. Marquez asked if a community meeting had been held to discuss any issues that
residents may have had like noise levels and traffic.
Mr. Mungari stated that he personally knocked on the doors of about 30 residences that
front on Walnut between Muscott and east to the railroad crossing, and no negative
statements had been made.
Motion: Close the hearing; and adopt Resolution to: Adopt the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program (Exhibit C),
and approve General Plan Amendment No. 11-05 and Conditional Use
Permit No. 11-16, based on the Findings of Fact contained in the Planning
Commission Staff Report dated July 25, 2012 (Attachment 2) and subject
to the amended Conditions of Approval (Exhibit B).

713. Community Development
An Ordinance of the City of San Bernardino Repealing Chapter 15.55 of the San
Bernardino Municipal Code and Canceling Its Assumption of Responsibility for the
Enforcement of the California Mobilehome Parks Act Pursuant to California Health and
Safety Code Section 18300(e), and Returning Said Enforcement Authority to the
California Department of Housing and Community Development. (FIRST READING)
Motion: Council Member Kelley made a motion, seconded by Council Member
Johnson, to lay the Ordinance over for final adoption. The vote was
taken following further discussion. (01:05:20)
Substitute
Motion: Council Member Shorett made a motion, seconded by Council Member
Jenkins, to transfer responsibility for the enforcement of the Mobilehome
Parks Act to the Code Enforcement Division. Subsequently, Council
Member Shorett rescinded his motion. (01:05:28)
Substitute
Motion: Council Member Jenkins made a motion to transfer responsibility for the
enforcement of the Mobilehome Parks Act to the Code Enforcement
Division. The motion died for lack of a second. (01:06:36)
Joe Lease, Building Official, stated that the Building Division no longer has the resources
to continue the program, and if it is returned to the state, the state will be obligated to
conduct the proactive inspections, respond to complaints within mobilehome parks, and
issue permits. Mr. Lease stated that 69 percent of cities within the Inland Empire have
not assumed responsibility for the mobilehome park program, and statewide that number
is 85 percent. The program costs more than the fees they are allowed to take in under
California law, and if responsibility is returned to the state, projected budget savings
would be $100,000.
Council Member Jenkins expressed concern that residents in the City of San Bernardino
will have to compete with nearby cities and then rely on the state to address their
concerns.
Substitute
Motion: Council Member Valdivia made a motion, seconded by Council Member
Jenkins, to transfer responsibility for the enforcement of the Mobilehome
Parks Act to the Code Enforcement Division. Subsequently, Council
Member Jenkins rescinded his second to the motion. (01:19:23)
