CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO—REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Public Hearing
From: Tony Stewart M/CC Meeting Date: 12/02/2013
Prepared by: Tony Stewart,
Dept: Community Development Ward(s): 6
Subject:
An Ordinance of the Mayor and Common Council Approving Zoning Map Amendment No. 13-
04, to Amend the Zoning of the Properties Located at 1400 W. Baseline Street and 1339-1387
W. Reece Street from General Commercial (CG-1) to Residential Urban (RU) (FIRST
READING); and A Resolution to Amend the General Plan Land Use Designations of the
Subject Properties from Commercial to Single-Family Residential. (#2779)
Current Business Registration Certificate: Not Applicable
Financial Impact:
There will be no impact to the General Fund as a result of this project.
Motion: Continue to December 16, 2013.
Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
None.
Background:
On November 20, 2013, the Planning Commission voted unanimously in favor of the subject
project and recommended that the Mayor and Common Council approve Development Code
Amendment No. 13-04 and General Plan Amendment No. 13-03, to change the zoning of the
project area from Commercial General (CG-1) to Residential Urban (RU) and the General Plan
land use designation from Commercial to Single-Family Residential.
Analysis•
The City was approached by the representative of the property owner of the parcel located at
1400 W. Baseline Street regarding the possibility of subdividing the lot to accommodate at least
one additional single-family lot. However,the parcel is zoned Commercial General (CG-1).
Further analysis indicated that all of the parcels to the immediate east are also zoned CG-1;
however, they are all developed with single-family residences. It should be noted that Reece
Street is a residential cul-de-sac off of Mt. Vernon Avenue and will not be connected to Pico
Avenue to the west. Both sides of the street are developed with single-family residences, with
the properties on the north side of the street being zoned Residential Suburban (RS). Reece
Street, therefore, would not be conducive for commercial uses, unless all of the parcels between
Reece Street and Baseline Street were consolidated to allow a larger commercial development
with primary access coming off of Baseline Street. However, the likelihood of that occurring in

2779
the foreseeable future is very low. On the other hand, since Baseline is an arterial street, there is
a higher possibility that the lots directly fronting it may be redeveloped a commercial uses.
Therefore, to accommodate the customers' request, and to bring the zoning and land use
designations of the project area into conformance with the existing development of the properties
(which would result in the subject homes becoming conforming uses again), staff initiated the
subject Zoning Map and General Plan Amendments.
The project consists of one partially developed single-family lot located at 1400 W. Baseline
Street with a vacant lot to the immediate north, and eight fully developed single-family lots
located at 1339-1387 W. Reece Street. The project area is surrounded to the north, south and
west by single-family residences and to the east by commercial uses.
In addition to the standard notification of the project by mailing a public hearing notice to all
property owners within a 500-foot radius of the project area and advertising the public hearing in
the Sun, letters were sent in English and Spanish to the affected property owners prior to the
Planning Commission hearing. The property owners of 1355 Reece Street sent staff a letter in
support of the project (Attachment C of the Planning Commission packet). No further
communication from the affected property owners or other parties, in favor of, or against, the
project has been received.
The proposed project is exempt from CEQA, Section 15061(b) (3), of the CEQA Guidelines,
because the effect of the amendment would not result in a significant direct or reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
Recommendation:
Close the hearing and lay over Ordinance for final adoption; and adopt the Resolution to approve
General Plan Amendment No. 13-03 based on the Findings of Fact contained in the Planning
Commission Staff Report dated November 20, 2013.

r
22 1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan, in that per Table LU-2, E
23 "Land Use and Zoning Designations Consistency" in the General Plan Land Use Element, the r
24 proposed rezone of the property from General Commercial (CG-1) to Residential Urban (RU)

26 Commercial to Single-Family Residential, which is proposed to occur concurrently with this
27 Zoning Map Amendment.

1 2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health,
2 safety, convenience, or welfare of the City, in that as noted above, there is no development
3 proposed in conjunction with this application and the change in zoning designation of the site
from CG-1 to RU will maintain the single-family residential development pattern of the subject
4
properties and bring these properties into conformance with the Development Code.
5
r
6 3. The proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within
7 the City, in that as noted above, the change in zoning designation of the subject site from CG-1
8 to RU will maintain the single-family residential development pattern of the project area.
M
9 Thus, the balance of land uses in the City will not be affected by this proposal. M

11 4. The subject parcels are physically suitable (including, but not limited to, access, c
M
12 provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical Q
U
13 constraints) for the requested land use designation and the anticipated land use development.
14 As noted in GPA finding 3, above, the project area is currently developed with single-family N
residences and this development will be maintained with this rezone, thus maintaining the land
15 =
use compatibility of the land uses in the project area. Further, the properties take direct access 2
16
from the adjacent streets, and the RU zoning designation is proposed to ensure the existing lots
17
will meet the minimum required lot size for the zone. X

ANALYSIS °
M
UThe City was approached by the representative of the property owner of the parcel located at o
1400 W. Baseline Street regarding the possibility of subdividing the lot to accommodate at least
CD
one additional single-family lot. However, the parcel is zoned Commercial General (CG-1).
N
Further analysis indicated that all of the parcels to the immediate east are also zoned CG-1;
0
0.
however, they are all developed with single-family residences. It should be noted that Reece
Street is a residential cul-de-sac off of Mt. Vernon Avenue and will not be connected to Pico
Avenue to the west. Both side of the street are developed with single-family residences, with the v
properties on the north side of the street being zoned Residential Suburban (RS). Reece Street, a
therefore, would not be conducive for commercial uses, unless all of the parcels between Reece
Street and Baseline Street were consolidated to allow a larger commercial development with
primary access coming off of Baseline Street. However, the likelihood of that occurring in the
foreseeable future is very low. On the other hand, since Baseline is an arterial street, there is a
higher possibility that the lots directly fronting it may be redeveloped a commercial uses. Q
Therefore, to accommodate the customers' request, and to bring the zoning and land use
designations of the project area into conformance with the existing development of the properties
(which would result in the subject homes becoming conforming uses again), staff initiated the
subject Zoning Map and General Plan Amendments.
As noted above, in addition to the standard notification of the project by mailing a public hearing
notice (Attachment D) and advertising the public hearing in the Sun, letters were sent in English
and Spanish to the affected property owners. The property owners of 1355 Reece Street sent
staff a letter in support of the project (Attachment Q. No further communication from the
affected property owners or other parties, in favor of, or against, the project has been received.

FINDINGS OF FACT
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
1. The posed amendment is internally consistent with the General Plan, in that with the
change of land use designation from Commercial to Single-Family Residential, the subject
properties, which are currently developed as single-family residential uses, will be
compatible with the new Single-Family Residential land use designation.
2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest health safety_
convenience, or welfare of the City, in that the subject properties are developed as single-
U)
family residences, which will not change as a result of this application. Therefore, the
public interest,health, safety, convenience and welfare will not be affected.
3. The proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the o
CCiyt , in that as noted in Finding #2, above, the subject properties are developed as single-
family residences,which will not change as a result of this application. Therefore balance of a
land uses will be maintained. �?
a
0
4. The subject parcels are physically suitable (including but not limited to access provision of
utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the v
requested land use designation and anticipated land use development, in that the subject °.
properties are developed as single-family residences, which will not change as a result of
this application. The lots all have direct access from Reece Street, Baseline Street, or Pico
Avenue. The subject properties are surrounded by similar single-family development to the
north, south and west, with small commercial businesses to the east. As noted above, it is d
unlikely that the subject properties will be redeveloped into commercial uses in the
foreseeable future and further, Reece Street functions as a residential collector street, rather N
than a street to serve commercial uses. Therefore, the change in land use from Commercial
to Single-Family Residential would bring the existing single-family residences into a
conformance with the underlying land use designation.

Use and Zoning Designations Consistency" in the General Plan Land Use Element, the
proposed rezone of the property from General Commercial (CG-1) to Residential Urban
(RU) will be consistent with the General Plan, once the General Plan Land Use Map is
changed from Commercial to Single-Family Residential, which is proposed to occur
concurrently with this Zoning Map Amendment.
2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest health safety,
convenience, or welfare of the Citv, in that as noted above, there is no development
proposed in conjunction with this application and the change in zoning designation of the

site from CG-1 to RU will maintain the single-family residential development pattern of the
subject properties and bring these properties into conformance with the Development Code.
3. The proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the
Cam, in that as noted above,the change in zoning designation of the subject site from CG-1
to RU will maintain the single-family residential development pattern of the project area.
Thus,the balance of land uses in the City will not be affected by this proposal.
4. The subject parcels are physically suitable(including but not limited to,access,provision of
utilities compatibility with adjoining land uses and absence of physical constraints)for the
requested land use designation and the anticipated land use development. As noted in GPA
finding 4, above, the project area is currently developed with single-family residences and
this development will be maintained with this rezone, thus maintaining the land use
compatibility of the land uses in the project area. Further, the properties take direct access
from the adjacent streets, and the RU zoning designation is proposed to ensure the existing o
lots will meet the minimum required lot size for the zone.
