Q CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO—REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Public Hearing
From: Mark Persico M/CC Meeting Date: 07/07/2014
Prepared by: Brenda Leggitt, (909) 384-5057
Dept: Community Development Ward(s): City-Wide
Subject:
Ordinance of the City of San Bernardino Adopting Development Code Amendment (Zoning
Map Amendment) 14-15, a City-Initiated Request to Amend Development Code Chapter
19.19A and the City's Zoning Map to Add Certain Parcels Located at 133 South E Street to the
TD Overlay. (FINAL READING) (#3267)
Current Business Registration Certificate:
Financial Impact:
Increased property tax and sales tax of an undetermined amount to accrue to the City.
Motion: Adopt the Ordinance.
Synopsis of Previous Council Action
None.
Background:
On May 21, 2014, the Planning Commission recommended that the Mayor and Common
Council approve Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 14-15, based upon
the Findings of Fact contained in the staff report.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In July 2012, the City approved the Transit District (TD) Overlay. The purpose of the Overlay is
to implement the City's General Plan policies regarding encouraging a wide variety of high-
quality transit-oriented development within close proximity to the new sbX (and future Redlands
Rail) transit stations. Such development is to encourage walkable, pedestrian-scaled
development,rather than typical auto-oriented uses.
Due to the fact that the TD Overlay was recently approved and therefore, has not been "tested"
with new development or redeveloped properties in the TD Overlay areas, staff believes that
under most circumstances, the TD Overlay areas should be left intact,per Council direction,until
actual development occurs. However, staff recognizes that some fine-tuning of the various
Overlay boundaries may be warranted, as long as the integrity of the TD Overlay area is
maintained. To ensure that the integrity of the TD Overlay is met, staff has initiated this
amendment.
f
Staff has received a request to add parcels at 133 S. E Street to the TD Overlay Zone.

BACKGROUND
July 2012 - the Mayor and Common Council approved San Bernardino Development Code
(SBDC) Chapter 19.19A, the standards and design guidelines for the TD Overlay.
May 5, 2014 -A 1/8-page legal ad was submitted to the Sun Newspaper for publishing on March
8, 2014, advertising the March 21, 2014 Planning Commission hearing on DCA 14-15.
March 15, 2014 - The Development/Environmental Review Committee (D/ERC) reviewed the
request for DCA 14-15.
May 20, 2014 -the Legislative Review Committee(LRC)reviewed the request for DCA 14-15.
ANALYSIS
As indicated above, staff received a request to remodel an existing 6,900 square foot vacant
building for a Mexican food restaurant. The last tenant in the building was a discount store that
closed in 2005. The property is comprised of two separate parcels (APN 0139-121-33 and -39)
that total 27,000 square feet. The property is at the southeast corner of E Street and the railroad
tracks, and directly across from the new Transit Center parking lot.
The property is currently not within the TD Overlay Zone and does not have enough parking for
a restaurant use. Inclusion of the property within the Overlay allows the property to have the
same benefits as the property immediately across E Street. The review and approval of the
restaurant use will be processed at a staff level through a subsequent Administrative Permit. The
current request only involves adding the property to the TD Overlay Zone.
The net result of the requested action would be to amend the Zoning Map and Figure 10 of San
Bernardino Development Code Chapter 19.19A.020 TD Zone to reflect the addition of the two
p p ( )
parcels totaling 27,000 square feet.
FINDINGS OF FACT
The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan.
The proposal is to amend the boundaries of the TD Overlay in certain areas. The General
Plan Land Use Map designates the TD Overlay areas as nodes with no specific
boundaries. Additionally, the underlying zoning and land use designations will not be
affected. Therefore, the proposed amendment will continue to be consistent with the
General Plan.
The amendment is also consistent with the following General Plan policy:
Policy 2.2.1, which calls for compatibility between land uses and quality design through
adherence to the standards and regulations in the Development Code and policies and
guidelines in the Community Design Element. The amendment will result in allowing
j developers to modernize and improve the quality of design of certain properties located

3267
adjacent to the Transit Center. The TD Overlay will allow the property to have the same
benefits as property immediately across E Street. Thus, the amendment will be consistent
u, with this policy.
2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare of the City.
The proposed amendment will add two parcels to the TD Overlay Zone. Further, the
amendment will enable the development/redevelopment of underperforming and blighted
parcels with new, high-quality development that will benefit the public interest, health,
safety, convenience and welfare of the City,rather than be detrimental to it.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
The proposed Development Code Amendment is exempt from CEQA pursuant to 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.

CONCLUSION
The proposed project satisfies all Findings of Fact for approval of Development Code
Amendment/Zoning Map Amendment No. 14-15.

Closed the hearing; and lay over Ordinance for final adoption.

Mark Persico, Interim Community Development Director, gave a brief presentation of
the project. ¢
r
0
Donn Dimichele, Deputy City Attorney, suggested that the Commission be advised of the
name of the owner of the property due to the fact that it does not affect the City as a whole, U
but rather one property. °.
r�
Mark Persico, Interim Community Development Director, stated that he did not have that M
information accessible to supply the Commission, but described the business as family
r
oriented. °
N
Chair Heasley made an inquiry with the Commission and asked if anyone knew the owner LO
of the property in question, that would result in them obtaining.

Commissioner Dailey stated that it had just been recently acquired by the new owner.
U
n.
Chair Heasley just wanted to make sure there was no violation with the Commission.
0
Mark Persico, Interim Community Development Director, stated that the owner resided
and was located out of Hemet. °
w
Commissioner Dailey said that this was a great idea. He asked if the owners had submitted
an application yet for the project.
U
Mark Persico, Interim Community Development Director, confirmed that they had Q
submitted an application.
Commissioner Dailey said that as a previous SANBAG employee who is aware of three
project that comprise the Transit Center, the railroad tracks for the Redlands Passenger Rail
where this property or adjacent to, might be subject to land acquisition as part of the
Passenger Rail project.

{
Commissioner Lopez asked about the parking for the location.
Mark Persico, Interim Community Development Director said that they currently have
site parking but it does not meet the standards if they were outside the TDO District. If they
were located outside of the TDO, they would be able to continue processing their application.
Commissioner Barnhardt said that as time goes on, we seem to be encompassing more
areas as we deem fit. He inquired whether this would keep happening in a case by case basis.
His concern is that there doesn't seem to be a fair practice for everyone, and wanted to know N
if there was a time line for continuing to expand or contract these borders.
i
N
Mark Persico, Interim Community Development Director, said an exact date is uncertain, o
but staff had the same concern. A lot of the projects that were present at the last meeting °
have been in the works for several months. It is staff's hopes that those projects are now o
cleared out so we can set a more firm course, so that this isn't a reoccurring issue. o
Commissioner Barnhardt expressed concern about applicants being treated differently
depending on the business. He doesn't want someone else to be unfairly benefited. Ln
r
4
Chair Heasley asked if this facility,without being in the TOD, cannot be used as a restaurant Q
due to inadequate parking. U
Mark Persico,Interim Community Development Director, said yes,that is correct.
Chair Heasley asked if it was directed primarily towards transit riders or pedestrian traffic. o
N
r
Mark Persico, Interim Community Development Director, said that it does have onsite N
parking, but it would not have sufficient parking outside of the TOD District.
Chair Heasley commented that this would make a change that would benefit just one
business owner, but he's afraid of`opening a can of worms' so to speak. He referenced what
Commissioner Dailey had said earlier about piecing sections in little bit at a time and it a;
concerns him that special privileges are being granted.
E
Mark Persico, Interim Community Development Director, said he understands the
concern. He stated that staff was unsure as to why on the East side it stopped at the rail road Q
tracks but on the West side, it spans several hundred feet. u
d
Commissioner Dailey said that the TD Overlay was crafted specifically looking at station
location and then for the BRT quarter mile radius. He agrees with both comments made 2
about the `expansion creep' that seems to be happening. He also commented on the timing a
of the infrastructure agreements, and said the Metrolink project is under construction
currently, and the Transit Center which is right across the street, is also under construction.
Planning ten years out for a project today might not make the most sense, but this change is
something he agrees with.

Senior Planner Aron Liang commented on the layout of the project. It has an obscure
location and a driveway which is one way in and one way out. As the surrounding areas are
progressing and moving forward, without the benefit of this amendment, the subject parcels
would be left without an opportunity to advance.
Chair Heasley said that the TOD should not be piecemealed in that it should go on both
sides of the rail road tracks for an extended distance. Looking at the handout of the current
TOD, he commented that it should go over to Sierra parallel to the tracks, so that it would be
in the shape of a square instead of an odd shape. It would then include all the businesses in
that area and they would then be legal non-confirming.
Commissioner Dailey said that the shape of the TOD was irregular, and at the time was 0
done for a reason. °
0
Y
Chair Heasley asked that the negative aspects would be with these businesses being o
included in the TOD as an existing legal non-conforming.
Mark Persico, Interim Community Development Director, said that outside of making all LO
those businesses and uses non-conforming, the property owners would have concerns with
that. The other issue is pedestrian traffic and not having any decent access. For the parcels
on the east side of E Street, they had thought about extending that down to Valley, but the o
building immediately south of this location is a PepBoys, and that would immediately make
ti
them non-conforming. N
Chair Heasley said that he would rather take the TOD east along the tracks. He wants to try o
to avoid coming to commission several times to continue to add things in. He would rather N
make one large decision to include or exclude areas instead of piece by piece. This process N
LO
raises questions about preferential treatment for certain business owners.
Senior Planner Aron Liang said that staff was reviewing this based on physical constraints
and development opportunities. v
o.
N
Commissioner Dailey made a motion to recommend approval of Development Code
Amendment/Zoning Map Amendment 14-15 to the Mayor and Common Council,based upon
the Findings of Fact contained in the staff report.

ADJOURNMENT
