Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that based on a
recommendation from one of her constituents, she had been working over the past
three or four months to obtain pricing for such a program—at least for 70 poles,

Packet Pg. 51
which would equate to 10 poles per ward. She also found some City employees
who were willing to volunteer their time to dig the holes and pour the concrete in
soil. She got some pricing and a parameter of what they might be looking at in
terms of sponsorships, because there were several folks who indicated they were
willing to offer some private sponsorships. She stated that overall it looks like the
program (figuring 10 poles per ward) is going to cost approximately $43,750—
and up to $47,250 for the whole program. That included the flags, the 14-foot
poles that were painted, the clips that hold the flags, and installation, including
some of the volunteer efforts. She stated that she had obtained that quote from a
local vendor,based on quantities of 20 poles or more.
N
d
Ms. McCammack stated that she hoped they would choose a local vendor to
supply the materials and look at employees, such as the "orange-shirt group," that
are willing to volunteer their efforts. Also, neighborhood watch and
neighborhood cluster associations may be willing to volunteer. She also
suggested that they look to the veterans organizations that currently exist in town
instead of just a flat application process.
M
r
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker stated that he had hoped they could get
something done prior to 9/11, since it will be the 10th anniversary. He stated that
he had thought they would be using existing poles and asked Ms. McCammack
for more information regarding her thought on this. He also questioned whether
any staff person had been assigned to work on this program along with the
committee.
N
Ms. McCammack stated that her constituent, Mr. Albert, who had suggested this o
program to her, had actually identified a spot in the Seventh Ward that was not CO
being properly maintained, and the thought was that if a certain amount of poles N
were assigned to that specific area, it would be more likely that it would be
properly maintained. Also, it is kind of a segue to certain areas in the city that are =_
traveled a lot by folks that do not necessarily live here.
U
C
Council Member/Commissioner Johnson stated that he and Ms. Marquez had 0
talked about trying to get the banners in place prior to 9/11—that was one of their L)
goals—but they looked at the importance of the program and decided that to do it E
properly would take time and proper planning. They felt it was too important to
rush, and just did not see it happening before 9/11. 2
a
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack asked if any of her colleagues
would mind if she at least started it in the Seventh Ward as a pilot program
without any rules, and then once there are some rules they would comply.
Council Member/Commissioner Johnson stated that for consistency he had a
problem with that, because you want a consistent program spread throughout the
city.

put so much work into this, he would be more than willing to have Ms.
McCammack serve on the committee instead of him.
Council Member/Commissioner Shorett made a substitute motion, seconded by
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker, to establish an ad hoc committee

application. She stated that the location of the site has limited access to Baseline
Street and its primary access is State Street to the north. The property abuts 7

residential properties to the northeast of the subject site and the request is to
change the land use designation from flood control to general commercial, which 'V

would allow a great number of commercial uses on the subject property. 3

Bruce Cash, United Strategies, Inc., speaking on behalf of the property owner,
BBC Properties, LLC, stated that they were adamantly opposed to the
He recommendation of the Planning Commission. I le stated that their clients have
owned this property for decades. They have gone through due process to
understand what the opportunities are on this piece of challenged real estate, and
they believe the proposal they presented to the Design and Environmental Review
Committee (DERC) in 2009, is appropriate.
Mr. Cash stated that if someone were to look at the transcript of that DERC
meeting, they were very clear that their client intended to proceed to construct

self storage facilities on the land. During that meeting in 2009 they discussed the
merits of their project with members of senior staff. The issue of State Street,
which is mentioned in the staff report, came up during the last 60 seconds of that
DERC hearing, and the indication at that time was that the City of San
Bernardino may have been considering this proposed alignment as one alternative
for the future extension of State Street. There was no timeline provided then, and
there is none today. There was no appropriation of dollars to go forward with
that project back in 2009, and upon the recommendation and support of the
DERC, they offered up two proposals. 1) to develop a portion of the property,
and 2) to develop the entire property, and they provided very clear indication of
the likely screening between their proposed commercial activities and the N
d
residential properties located adjacent to the site. _
C
Mr. bash stated that there is no ambiguity with the Planning staff or the Planning 'V
�I
C
Commission that this is the highest and best use for the property. He stated that
O
he took issue with the statement in the staff report that somehow they were well V
informed about the plans for State Street going forward—it was a comment in O
/�
t0
passing. Also, the exhibit that was subsequently provided to them was nothing M
r
V
more than an initial rendering of what might be a potential alignment of State i
Street at some point in the future. Following that DERC meeting, numerous
O
discussions were held with City officials and, to date, they still have not seen a
published timeline on the proposed extension of State Street. They have not seen
or read of any appropriation of funds in order to move forward. There has been r
T
no dialog with their client with respect to the interest in this property or the taking N
0
or right-of-way acquisition that would be necessary to go forward. �

Mr. Cash stated that as a result of the DERC meeting back in 2009, they were
N
directed to prepare a conceptual plan and outline the steps necessary to take the r
3
project forward. They did so, and they believe the request before the Planning
Commission was indeed prudent. They were asking for a zone change first as
Q
they continue to evaluate an ever-changing marketplace and what the needs may =
7
be at this location for a self-storage facility. Nevertheless, their clients are V
committed to this particular use and they have been directed to move forward and
C
they have gone /through the proper pre-application process in complete
cooperation with City staff in order to bring this matter before the Planning t
Commission.
Q
He reminded the Mayor and Council that most of the issues raised in staffs
recommendation to the Planning Commission were nonsensical and each and
every one of those issues were addressed at the Planning Commission meeting,
and the only issue was the fact that they believed the site may be the alignment
for the future extension of State Street. Mr. bash stated that they have no idea
what the City's plans are with respect to State Street, and after talking with City
staff, they still don't know. He stated that it is his opinion and the opinion of his
client that they could go forward, construct this facility, contribute to the local
economy, and this facility could operate for 25 years unabated at this location

given what they know today about the proposed extension of State Street. He
stated that they take great exception to the preemptive action on the part of the
Planning Commission to condemn their property and not allow them to move
forward in a logical manner as they have sought to do since early 2009, and he
requested that the Mayor and Council overturn the recommendation of the
Planning Commission.
Council Member/Commissioner Marquez asked what kind of community outreach
had been done.
Mr. Cash stated that they have had some preliminary meetings with membership rn
r+
groups in the area. Their presentation is conceptual—they are only asking for a
C
land use change. They have not submitted plans to move to construction or
development of the site, but the community has been positive and he believes that 'V
C
what they are advocating to construct will actually enhance the area and will bring 7
30-40 jobs to the Baseline Corridor. V

Council Member/Commissioner McCammack asked Mr. Cash how long his client
has owned the property. L.

Mr. Cash stated that his clients have owned the property for about 60 years. A
portion of the property was deeded over and an easement provided to County
Flood Control several years ago, however, they have purchased most of that
T_
property back from the County as part of their land assemblage pursuant to the O
N
meeting with the DERC in 2009.

Council Member commissioner McCammack asked if anyone had mentioned the
to
extension of State Street at the DERC meeting in 2009.

C_
Mr. Cash stated that in the last 60 seconds of that meeting they were pointed to an
obscure exhibit on the board which was a very preliminary document. He stated C
that subsequently they were able to obtain a copy of that document and they have V
been very astute about moving forward and meeting with pity officials to
C
understand the timing, appropriation, acquisition of right-of-way, and other c
obvious constraints that the City might face if this alignment were prudent. He
iJ
stated that they have concluded that the constraints are significant for the City w
based on what they want to do in the proposed extension of State Street, not Q
necessarily as it relates to this segment, but in the project overall. So, depending
on how it is phased, and depending on how the money is appropriated, it may be
some time before this roadway could move forward and he believes that measure
of time denies them the economic opportunity that his clients should enjoy given
the time theylve owned this property, the investment they ve made in this
property, and the contribution the proposed project will have, not only on that
site, but for the corridor as a whole.

Council Member/Commissioner Brinker asked if a traffic study had been
prepared as this is a difficult intersection and numerous accidents have occurred
there. /�
Ms. Wheeler stated that this item is only the General Plan A This
I his
property has been designated for Open Space or Public Flood Control since the
incorporation of the City. The application before the Council is only for the land
use change, there is no project, so the analysis of this project entails looking at
the land use of this site and whether or not it's appropriate for Commercial
General. Because there is no project, there has been no traffic study. They do
not have the ability to analyze access to the site or its design because that project fn
d
is not before the Council, It is only whether or not the Council believes that the
C
change from Public Flood Control to Commercial General would be appropriate ^�
on this piece of land at this time. �j

Ms. Wheeler stated that the staff report and the findings reference the creation of V
an isolated island of CG-1 . She stated that staff attempts to ensure that there are O
f�
larger areas of land use rather than a single isolated parcel, which this would be r
as there is no other commercial property in this area. Ms. Wheeler stated that
tC
this site does not have good access and it immediately abuts homes along the =
northeast side. She added that at no time did staff indicate that commercial was
the highest and best use of this property. 4i

Henry Emperlo, Senior Deputy City Attorney, stated that if the Council was N

r
several environmental studies would have to be performed and supplied including O
Bernardino 1� O
one analyzing the impact to a potential San Bernardino Kangaroo flat Habitat. He

Tom Mitchell, commercial real estate agent representing the property owner on
the northeast corner of Baseline, stated that they object to the current proposal as Q
presented because without State Street there would be increased traffic on
California and Baseline. He stated that they do not object to the proposed use of
the property and he concurred that the highest and best possible use for that area
is a public storage facility. He stated that based on the configuration of the lot,
nobody would want to build a retail center there, however, if a secure public
storage is built there, that would eliminate a lot of the gang activity in that area.
