CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Subject: Initiation of a Development Code Amendment to revise the
distance requirements for off-site ABC licenses in
certain circumstances
The Development Code establishes distance requirements for off-site
ABC licenses in relation to religious institutions, schools or
public parks in the City (500 feet) and residential uses or
districts (100 feet) . If a business does not meet these distance
requirements, the application cannot be approved. (Note: The
variance section of the Development Code does not include this type
of situation/application. )
There is an appeal pending before the Mayor and Common Council
which cannot be approved without an amendment to the Development
Code. The appellant feels that the distance requirements are
unfair because his business is adjacent to the City of Colton and
Colton does not have distance requirements. I agree that this is
unfair and feel that businesses should not be penalized because of
their location. All businesses should be able to compete equally.
COSTS TO CITY
Planning Division staff estimates that it will cost approximately
$3000 to complete an amendment including preparation of the text,
environmental review and preparation of a staff report and
ordinance. This amount does not include review by any other
departments/divisions.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that staff be directed to prepare an amendment to the
Development Code to develop criteria whereby the distance
requirements can be modified or deleted for off-site ABC licenses
for businesses which are located adjacent to other jurisdictions.
