27. Transfer of Community Development Block Grant Administration
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that she was not against the
City Manager taking over the administration of the block grants, but she
wondered why they didn't just move the employees from the Economic
Development Agency (EDA), since they aze paying for them, and questioned
whether they were going to continue to pay for them annually. If they were not,
then the statement "no cost to the general fund" may be true for Fiscal Year
2011/12, but it would not be true for subsequent years.
Mayor/Chairman Morris stated that all of the administration costs come out of the
CDBG monies and they are all categorized as a separate resource.
City Manager McNeely stated that they aze using the same funding that was used
to fund the positions at EDA, and it can only be used for this purpose. He
explained that the bulk of the functions that CDBG pays for is in the Code
Enforcement area, which is under the City Manager's direction. He stated that
they have had a number of issues over the yeazs that have been problematic with
EDA's responsibility for CDBG, because Code Enforcement is not under EDA,
and they have been notified by HUD of some accounting issues, so in order to
clear that up they wanted to place the dollars and the responsibilities together so
they can effectively manage this function.

so few people at the bottom delivering the services.

31. Public Hearing -Ordinance amending Table 06.01, List of Permitted Uses,
in Chapter 19.06 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code (Development Code)
(Development Code Amendment No. 11-O1) (Continued from May 16, 2011)
An Ordinance of the City of San Bernardino amending Table 06.01, List of
Permitted Uses, in Chapter 19.06 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code
(Development Code), Commercial Districts, to permit movie theaters of four or
more screens subject to a Conditional Use Permit in the Downtown Main Street
Overlay District. FIRST READING
19 06/20/2011
Note: No ordinance was distributed with the backup materials.
The hearing remained open.
Cheryl Brown, San Bernardino, CA, thanked the City Manager, City Attorney,
Mayor and Council for moving forward with this ordinance. She stated that when
construction begins, the NAACP would be interested in knowing if there is some
kind of incentive program for local people to get those jobs. Mrs. Brown stated
that she was surprised to leazn that Mr. Penman did not sign the ordinance and
stated that she was interested in knowing why he does not want the theater to
come to San Bernardino.
City Attorney Penman stated that this ordinance will prohibit the approval of
ordinances for theaters with four or more screens anywhere except in the
downtown area and only in the downtown azea with a conditional use permit. He
stated that the ordinance would restrict the number of movie theaters that could be
built, which is just the opposite of what Mrs. Brown thought it did.
Mr. Penman stated that the reason he did not sign was because Mr. Sabo was
negotiating with Regal Theaters and he was told that Regal wanted this as a
condition of their coming here. They did not want the Council to enact this until
they had finished negotiating a deal with Regal because this ordinance was good
leverage in the negotiations with Regal. He stated that once Regal agrees to our
conditions, and we agree to theirs, then they would adopt this ordinance, which is
one of the many things that Regal wants. He stated that he was surprised to see
this back on the agenda today because it is contrary to what was represented to
them previously when the ordinance was first continued and then tabled because
they had not reached an agreement with Regal. The only other information they
had is that some of the other theater companies wanted the same thing.
Mayor/Chairman Morris stated that every single theater chain that came to us said
that they were not interested in this City unless they were given the opportunity to
serve us with large multi-plex theaters.
City Attorney Penman stated that if that's true, if it is that critical to them, why
would we pass the ordinance now before we've entered into an agreement with
them and give this up as a bazgaining chip.
Mayor/Chairman Morris stated that it is not a bargaining chip at all. Every
provider of services asked for this same kind of construct. This went through the
Planning Commission with a unanimous vote of approval and everybody who has
looked at it says it passes legal muster. This is no longer a negotiating tool, it is
what's required if we are going to have a downtown multi-plex theater.
20 06/20/2011
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley stated that he has been along-time
advocate for opening a theater downtown, but with these types of conditions that
would limit them from opening multi-screen theaters anywhere in the Ciry, he
could not support this item.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that they were basically
cutting out the potential availability of any developer to build something in the
north end or the east end and we're forcing anybody else who wants to develop
within the City to go to Highland, or the northwest area of Devore, or the east
area of Fontana.
Mayor/Chairman Morris stated that this is the most critical moment in terms of
downtown development if we are serious about following that downtown vision
plan, which this Council approved unanimously, and this is a critical pazt of that.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker stated that he has lived in this City for
over 35 years and he stated that he has seen this cycle of movie theaters and it's
an interesting business. He has looked at this ordinance and he believes what
they aze trying to do here is create an environment for this new theater to come in
and build some roots and be successful. He suspects that a few yeazs down the
road they may be looking back at this ordinance again because the industry will
have changed a little bit and maybe someone new will come in and want to do
something different and the ordinance will need to be adjusted to meet their
needs. He stated that technology is changing and the industry is changing, so
they may not end up with the kind of big screen theaters they have today a few
years from now. He stated that he believes it is a good idea right now to help get
this one started, but they may have to come back and revisit it later.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack agreed with Mr. Brinker's
statements. She stated that she thinks Mr. Brinker is correct in that perhaps we
will find that this ordinance won't be right for us three to ten years from now and
there's only one major problem with that-if you have a development agreement
with Regal for so many yeazs, you will be precluded from making any changes to
this ordinance.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Marquez, that the hearing be closed; and that said
ordinance be laid over for final adoption. The motion carried with Kelley and
McCammack voting "no."
21 06/20/2011
32. Public Hearing -Resolution adopting General Plan Amendment No. O8-OS
(Continued from June 6, 2011)
A Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San
Bernardino adopting General Plan Amendment No. 08-05 to change the Land
Use Designation from Commercial General (CGl) and Industrial Light (IL)
to Industrial Heavy (IH) on approximately 7.69 acres and approving
Conditional Use Permit No. 09-04 to expand an existing 28.7-acre auto
dismantling and vehicle storage business by 7.69 acres and establish auto
repair service at 701 North Waterman Avenue.
Mayor/Chairman Morris opened the hearing.
Council Member/Commissioner Johnson made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner McCammack, that the matter be continued to the
Council/Commission meeting of July 18, 2011. The motion carried
unanimously.
33. Public Hearing -Ordinance amending Section 19.22.080 of the Development
Code (Development Code Amendment No. 11-03)
An ordinance of the City of San Bernardino amending Section 19.22.080 (7)
of the San Bernardino Municipal Code (Development Code) to revise the
application procedure for off-site electronic message center signage in
redevelopment project areas. FIRST READING
Mayor/Chairman Morris opened the hearing.
Margo Wheeler, Director of Community Development, stated that the ordinance
contained one minor change, but the principal issues remain the same in that the
proposal is to expand the areas in which off-site electronic message center signs
are permitted; i.e., to expand it to the Freeway Corridor Overlay District within
redevelopment project areas.
Mayor/Chairman Morris stated that the overall intent here is to unify the entire
Freeway Corridor with a set of policies and procedures relative to digital signs
along that corridor that would represent the best use of the City's viewscape the
complete length of the downtown area.
Ms. Wheeler stated that the intent is to enable the provision of opportunities for
these types of signs that can be beneficial for the redevelopment project azeas,
and done so in a manner that's appropriate for the City.
22 06/20/2011
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that her concern with this
item is that the Council as a body should be making the decisions and she was not
comfortable with abrogating that authority to the Redevelopment Committee. The
Redevelopment Committee shall be notified of all CUP applications for off-site
electronic message center sign permits. The review by such committee as to the
location proposed for the benefit of the Redevelopment Ptoject Area shall be
required prior to the issuance of a CUP for an off-site electronic message center
sign.
Ms. Wheeler responded by stating that this review was already part of the
Redevelopment Agency Policy and Procedure for the approval of these signs, but
it is not part of the Development Code, so this would be placing language into the
Development Code that goes along with existing Procedure and Policy.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker stated that he would like to continue to
work on this issue. He stated that his issue is when these signs become more
economically feasible in a yeaz or two-right now the price of some of these signs
is very expensive-but he thinks people aze seeing them as a valuable tool. He
worries that at some point they are going to get an over proliferation of signs and
they should begin to think about what that would look like and how they would
begin to put the brakes on before they get there so it creates some sort of plan or
system of evaluating signs within certain areas to determine when it is too much
and how to limit them once they reach a certain number in a particular area. He
stated that he was not sure what that would look like and he suggested that staff
think that through and maybe come back to the Council for discussion.
Ms. Wheeler advised that the existing ordinance states that message center signs
may be placed no closer than 1,000 feet from another electronic message center
sign on-site or off-site.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker stated that even if you went every 1,000
feet, that's an awful lot of signs.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that she would be abstaining
on this item because this proposal included the Uptown Redevelopment Project
Area and she owns property within that azea. She left the Council Chambers and
returned after the vote was taken.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley asked Ms. Wheeler to explain her
statement, "the benefit of the redevelopment area."
Ms. Wheeler stated that currently and again on the proposed ordinance it shows
the existing language with the proposed changes with the language to be deleted
shown with the strike-through and the language to be added is shown underlined.
23 06/20/2011
She stated that right now these signs are allowed within the Central City South,
Southeast Industrial Park and Uptown Redevelopment Project Areas. This
change would allow them within the Redevelopment Project Areas throughout the
Freeway Corridor Overlay District, so essentially that would expand the area
where they could be proposed. She stated that the one other change is to take the
existing Policy and Procedure whereby these signs aze required to have an
agreement through the Redevelopment Project Area, and this would then put that
same language in Code as it is already in practice in policy.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley asked Ms. Wheeler to explain where the
project areas were located.
Ms. Wheeler stated that the Uptown Redevelopment Project Area is along the I-
215 Freeway along the center of the downtown area; the Southeast Industrial Park
Area is located along the I-10 Freeway to the south; the Central City North is also
along the I-215 and the I-10; and the Mt. Vemon Project Area, is in the
downtown azea along the I-215 Freeway.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley stated that most recently they did this
merger between the azeas in the Economic Development Agency from the I-215
at the I-10 going north to University Pazkway, and he asked where that would
stop.
Ms. Wheeler stated that the merged azea goes along the I-215 up to the I-210 and
to a small portion along the I-210 to the east and there is one other small area
along the I-210, but the primazy area is the I-215 and the I-10.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley asked if that included the area between
University Parkway and Palm/Kendall.
Agency Counsel Sabo stated that they aze undertaking two different mergers:
Merger A does not include the Uptown Redevelopment Project Area, and Merger
B includes Uptown, Mt. Vernon, Northwest and State College. Mr. Sabo stated
that that azea would be part of Merger B; however, they aze probably looking at
one year or more before that would become a merger. Right now, the area
between Palm and Kendall is not even part of a project azea. He stated that the
west side of the I-215 would be either Northwest or State College, and most of
Kendall to the north up to Palm would not be in a project area.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley questioned whether a sign could be
located on the golf course along the I-215 freeway.
Mr. Sabo stated that the golf course is located in the State College project area.
24 06/20/2011
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that she did not have a
conflict because she does not own property adjacent to the freeway in the Uptown
Redevelopment Project Area.
City Attorney Penman stated that he had discussed Council Member
McCammack's potential conflict with staff and since the Uptown is merged or is
merging, the issue seems to be more whether or not she has property in the
Freeway Corridor Overlay District within Redevelopment Project Areas and if
she does, is it within 500 feet. He stated that he has reservations that the current
ordinance does include Uptown and by voting on it she would be taking out
Uptown, which he was not quite as confident that that was not a conflict. He
stated that he was required to tell her that the advice of the City Attorney is not
legally binding and does not protect her, and to protect herself she would need to
get a written opinion from the Fair Political Practices Commission.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack left the Council Chambers and
returned after the vote was taken.
Mr. Penman stated that Section 7B was the problematic part of the ordinance in
that they initially had language that said that the Redevelopment Committee
should be notified before anyone could submit a CUP application and then there
would have to be review and recommendation by the committee. He stated that
that clearly seemed to go against the Charter because it gave the committee the
authority to act or to hold something up, and it also became a prior condition to
apply for a CUP, which would be illegal, so they changed it to "prior to the
acceptance of a CUP;" which he believed would pass legal muster. Mr. Penman
stated that there is still an issue with requiring any City committee to take an
action before it can be finalized and whether that's something only the Council
can do because the committees are only supposed to be advisory to the Council.
He stated that they thought that the review was probably okay. The permit
streamlining act is applicable to CUPS, so if the committee, for example, were to
try to hold up the issuance of a CUP by continuing the item on their agenda, after
a certain period of time the State Permit Streamlining Act would kick in and the
CUP would be deemed approved.
Mayor/Chairman Morris stated that the.critical word here is "review," it does not
say "approve." It's just a review so that the eyes of the policy makers aze on it
before it comes to the table.
City Attorney Penman agreed that it did not say approve or even recommend.
Council Member/Commissioner Johnson recommended that the Council look at
the distance requirement of 1,000 feet between signs because it could result in an
over proliferation of signs.
25 06/20/2011
Council Member/Commissioner Johnson made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Brinker, that the heazing be closed; and that said
ordinance be laid over for fmal adoption. The motion carried with
McCammack abstaining and Kelley absent.
34. Public Hearing -Request for a conditional use permit to utilize a portion of
an existing on-premise freeway sign located at 895 West Rialto Avenue as an
electronic message center for the Mt. Vernon Redevelopment Project Area
(Conditional Use Permit No. 11-05)
Mayor/Chairman Morris opened the hearing.
Margo Wheeler, Director of Community Development, stated that this application
was submitted by representatives from Quiel Bros. Signs and the applicant is the
owner of Games for Fun on West Rialto. She stated that they have an existing
freeway sign on the west side of the freeway that advertises the business itself on
a 6 foot high by 25 foot wide portion of their sign and then there's an additional
7'/z foot azea where they have a digital sign. What they are requesting is the
ability to advertise off-site businesses thereby creating anoff--site advertising sign
at this location. Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommended
denial believing that this sign is not appropriate as designed because of its
primary function as on-site advertising.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 2000-279, Deputy City Clerk Ochiqui administered an
oath to the following individuals that they would provide true and honest
testimony:
Larry Quiel, Quiel Brothers Electric Sign Company, Inc., San Bernardino, CA,
distributed handouts to the Mayor and Council and made an oral presentation on
behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, encouraging the support .and use of the
existing sign for the purpose of advertising businesses within the Mt. Vernon
Redevelopment Project Area.
Mr. Quiel stated that there were some issues that the Planning Commission had
when they denied the approval. He stated that a compazison was made of the
most recently approved Loma Linda University sign that had been granted the
opportunity to advertise businesses in the Hospitality Lane azea, the second one
that has been approved in the Hospitality Corridor. According to City Code, 75
percent of the sign is allowed to be electronic, and a minimum of 25 percent is
supposed to be static. The Loma Linda sign is only 13 percent static and 86
percent electronic and the Games for Fun sign is 53 percent electronic and 47
percent static. Mr. Renfroe's sign has exceeded the minimum amount of static
signage; however, the Loma Linda University sign is less than what is required.
26 06/20/2011
Ken Renfroe, applicant, San Bernardino, CA, distributed handouts to the Mayor
and Council and made an oral presentation in support of the sign.
Paul Johnson, Redlands, CA, owner of property near the sign on West Rialto,
spoke in opposition to the sign. He stated that these signs do attract business and
they do have a place in the conununity, but they do not belong in the middle of a
residential area. He stated that the quality of life of the residents living in that
area will be adversely affected and their property values will drop.
Council Member/Commissioner Marquez asked staff to clazify the statement
made in the staff report that this sign would create a confusing and mixed
message for other businesses that might advertise on this sign.
Ms. Wheeler stated that this sign was designed and built as an on-premise sign to
advertise merchandise for Games for Fun. Most typical electronic message signs
that are built as off-site advertising along freeways may have a border or a title
with the majority of the azea to be used for the advertising. In this case, because
it was not designed or built as off-premise advertising, it is staff's belief that it is
not optimal to convert this sign to anoff-premise sign.
Ms. Wheeler answered questions posed by the Council regazding the dimensions
of the sign, the color of the lights, and the flashing effect/brightness.
Council Member/Commissioner Johnson stated that standards and wnsistencies
need to be established and that he was having a problem accepting this sign.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that she had concerns about
the issue that had been raised by Mr. Quiel in that the City is being inconsistent
with its applications for new signage. She stated that it didn't look like the
legislative process is being followed and felt that this matter should go back to the
Legislative Review Committee.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Kelley, that the hearing be closed; and that Conditional
Use Permit No. 11-05 be approved with the Conditions of Approval as shown on
Attachment D of the Planning Commission Staff Report dated May 25, 2011.
The motion carried with Johnson voting "no."

36. Public Hearing -Ordinance amending Development Code Chapter 19.06
(Commercial Districts) Section 19.06.030 (2)(1')(1) (Development Code
Amendment No. it-04)
An ordinance of the City of San Bernardino amending Chapter 19.06
(Commercial Districts), Section 19.06.030 (2)(T)(1) of the San Bernardino
Municipal Code (Development Code) related to service station standards.
FIRST READING
Mayor/Chairman Morris opened the heazing.
Mazgo Wheeler, Director of Community Development, stated that this item is a
request to amend the Code, which currently allows only two such stations at
major intersections and [his would allow three non-petroleum stations; that is,
those stations that would provide some sort of alternative fuel, especially,
electric. She stated that the idea would be to ensure that these types of facilities
that provide alternative fuel be allowed to be located in heavily traveled areas
within the City that would be convenient for those persons utilizing those types of
vehicles.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker asked if they were under any federal
guidelines to have certain numbers of these alternative fuel stations by a certain
date.
Ms. Wheeler stated that there are requirements with regard to the reduction of
greenhouse gas, but not with regard to this specifically. She stated that this was
brought to us by an applicant who wished to pursue these types of options and
wanted to ensure that if he entered into negotiations on any sites, he could have
some assurance that he would be able to move forward.
Mayor/Chairman Morris stated that these plug-in commercial attachments have a
remazkably high amount of voltage that allows those cazs to refuel in a very short
period of time. He asked if Ms. Wheeler knew what the average refueling time
was for an electric station.
28 06/20/2011
Ms. Wheeler stated that it used to be overnight, but it takes considerably less time
now, but it is certainly more than the amount of time it takes to fuel your car at a
gasoline pump. She stated that in the design of these stations, they would ensure
that the parking is offset so that they would be able to accommodate a longer
period of time.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack asked if the applicant was looking
at a specific location because having four service stations at certain intersections
may cause a traffic issue.
Ms. Wheeler stated that the current limit is two and this would allow a maximum
of three, not four. She added that the applicant does not have a specific location
at this time.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that she could not approve
this without knowing what some of the locations are.
City Attorney Penman stated that it is for Pinky Brier's property.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that that was true, there are
two stations on the comer of Hospitality and Waterman. She asked if it is
currently a condition for alternative fuel or service stations to have a minimum
distance of 30 feet between curb cuts along a street frontage and no driveway
closer than 35 feet to the curb return.
Ms. Wheeler stated that that is the existing Code.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that that is a problem
because that is not what currently exists at the corner of Sierra Way and 40'"
Street.
Ms. Wheeler stated that there may be a significant number of locations that
predated these requirements.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack asked if this would require a
conditional use permit (CUP), because if it did, she stated that that CUP never
came before the Council for that location, nor did the sale of alcohol from that
7/11 ever come before the Council for a CUP.
Ms. Wheeler stated that staff would have to research that.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack asked if these conditions applied to
service station standards regardless of how many there are. She stated that
Chapter 19.06 of the Development Code simply talks about service station
29 06/20/2011
standards and the location she was talking about does not comply. She
understood that part of what is being changed is the quantity at any given
intersection and if someone has already violated that with something that just
recently was put in, then they have already violated these standards, and it never
came before the Council for a CUP.
City Attorney Penman stated that it applies throughout the City and his
understanding is that the developer is looking at the old Pinky Brier property and
he has another location somewhere else.
Mayor/Chairman Morris stated that there is some great merit in alternative
fueling and they were going to have to begin serving the needs of that
community.
No public comments were received.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack made a motion, seconded by
Council Member/Commissioner Marquez, that the heazing be closed; and that
said ordinance be laid over for final adoption. The motion carried
unanimously.
37. Public Hearing -Ordinance amending San Bernardino Municipal Code
(Development Code) Section 19.06.030(2)(B) (Development Code Amendment
No. 11-06)
An ordinance of the City of San Bernardino amending San Bernardino
Municipal Code (Development Code) Section 19.06.030(2)(B) regarding
alcoholic beverage sales activities. FIRST READING
Mayor/Chairman Morris opened the hearing.
Margo Wheeler, Duector of Community Development, stated that this
amendment is in regazd to the deemed approved ordinance. There were some
things that were thought to be important to get changed so as to ease the
implementation of the ordinance. The key amendments include the extension of
the training compliance deadline, the exemption of sit-down restaurants from the
training requirements, and the provision for lazger employers to send only
supervisory employees to the training. She called the Council's attention to page
3, Article II, Section VIII, of the revised ordinance wherein the language will
refer only to allowing containers of beer or malt liquor not in their original
factory package of six-packs or greater. She stated that the other change that was
previously recommended has been eliminated.
30 06/20/2011
City Attorney Penman advised that the changes on page 3, lines 6-7 of the
ordinance were recommended by both the County Health Department and the
Police Department.
No public comments were received.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack made a motion, seconded by
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker, that the hearing be closed; and that said

38. Public Hearing -Resolution adopting the 2011 update of the General Plan
Housing Element (General Plan Amendment No. 11-O1)
RES. 2011-206 - A Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City
of San Bernardino adopting the 2011 update of the General Plan Housing
Element.
Mayor/Chairman Morris opened the hearing.
Terri Rahhal, Deputy Duector/City Planner, Community Development, stated
that this item is an update to the Housing Element of the General Plan. She stated
that the last comprehensive General Plan update in 2005 did not include the
Housing Element and that is because Housing Elements aze updated Statewide on
cycles that are prescribed in State law.
Ms. Rahhal stated that the current General Plan update has been in progress since
2008. She stated that the General Plan Housing Element contains all of the
policies and programs related to providing housing in the City that are contained
in the General Plan. Updating the Housing Element includes providing any
updates to the descriptions of existing conditions in the City, and housing
programs and policies with particulaz emphasis on meeting the regional housing
needs assessment which is prescribed by the State for each region. Ms. Rahhal
stated that the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment addresses the planning
period from 2006 to 2014.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack asked if the Regional Housing
Needs Assessment portion of the Housing Element took into consideration the
number of vacant units which meant that we do not need to build 2,100 more low
or very low income housing.
Ms. Rahhal stated that that was correct to an extent; however, the regional
housing needs assessment was completed before the worst impact of the recession
and vacancies took place. She stated that the Housing Element shows that
housing could be provided under our current plans, including existing stock for
31 06/20/2011
the numbers that are projected in the regional housing needs assessment. Also,
the City is not compelled to actually produce additional housing-just to show that
it is available or could be provided under current regulations.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that she understood Ms.
Rahhal's answer was that they do not have to build 2,100 units to fulfill that
income requirement.
Ms. Rahhal referred Mrs. McCammack to the table in the Planning Commission
staff report that lays out the regional housing needs assessment. She stated that
the highest category of housing production that's shown to be needed is in the
above moderate income range.
No public comments were received.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Shorett, that the heazing be closed; and that said
resolution be adopted. The motion carried and Resolution No. 2011-206 was
adopted unanimously.
39. Public Hearing -Ordinance amending Development Code definitions and
parking standards adding Chapter 19.63 (Development Code Amendment
No. 11-02)
An ordinance of the City of San Bernardino amending the San Bernardino
Municipal Code (Development Code) by modifying definitions in Section
19.02.050 and parking standards in Section 19.24.040 and adding Chapter
19.63 to establish a procedure for requesting reasonable accommodation for
individuals with disabilities. FIRST READING
Mayor/Chairman Morris opened the heazing.
Terri Rahhal, Deputy Director/City Planner, Community Development, stated
that this is a companion item to the Housing Element update. One of the
components of the Housing Element is an analysis of all regulations on
development with the purpose of identifying any constraints to housing
development. She stated that one thing the State pointed out in the review process
of the Housing Element was that the City currently has a higher pazking
requirement for studio apartments than is generally accepted throughout the State.
Currently, we require one and one-half pazking spaces, and the State has
requested that we reduce that to one space per unit. This ordinance would also
bring our Code up to date to comply with existing State laws regarding the ability
of disabled persons to request reasonable accommodation under our zoning code
that they may need for accessibility.
