23 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COMMON
24
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:
25
SECTION 1. The Mayor and Common Council find that the above-stated Recitals
26
27 are true and hereby adopt and incorporate them herein.
28
2
1 SECTION 2. Findings of Fact—Development Code Amendment 16-04.
2
Finding No. 1: The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan.
3
Finding of Fact: The General Plan Community Design Policy 5.7.4 states: "The size,
4
5 color, type, materials and design of signs shall be related to the scale of
6 the building or development and its relation to the street."
7 The proposed signs have been designed with consideration for the
8 topography of the site, location of the buildings, and number of
9
potential tenants. Standards have been imposed to ensure a clean,
10
11 uniform look to the proposed multi-tenant pylon signs.
12 General Plan Economic Development Policy 4.5.2 states: "Maintain
13 and enhance commercial regional cores and economically sound
14 community-serving commercial concentrations by attracting new
15
regional outlets, maintaining the existing regional retail base, and
16
17 stabilizing the future regional retail base."
18 The University Park Shops retail center will serve the students and staff
19 of CSUSB and the surrounding neighborhoods as a community-serving
20 commercial concentration and will be more able to attract and secure
21
national chain businesses and successful local businesses as tenants if
22
they can guarantee a tenant panel on the proposed pylon sign for the
23
24 center. Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with the goals
25 of the General Plan.
26 Finding No. 2: The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public
27 interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
28
3
I Finding of Fact: The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest,
2 health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City in that amendment to
3 the Development Code standards related to the aesthetics of the
4 development rather than the health, safety, convenience, or welfare of
5
the City. The project site has direct access from Northpark Boulevard,
6
will be fully served by utility providers, will be constructed in
7
8 accordance with all applicable codes and regulations, and will not result
9 in the need for the excessive provision of services.
10 SECTION 3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
11 The Mayor and Common Council has independently reviewed, analyzed and exercised
12
judgment in finding that Development Code Amendment 16-04 and the amendment to Sign
13
14 Program 15-04 is exempt under §15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) of the California
15 Environmental Quality Act.
16 SECTION 4. — Development Code Amendment 16-04, as approved by Ordinance, is
17 incorporated herein by reference.
18
SECTION 5. — Sign Program 15-04 as amended, subject to the Conditions of
19
20 Approval attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference, is hereby
21 approved.
22 SECTION 6. - Notice of Exemption: The Planning Division of the Community
23 Development Department is hereby directed to file a Notice of Exemption with the County
24
Clerk of the County of San Bernardino certifying the City's compliance with California
25
26 Environmental Quality Act in adopting the Categorical Exemption.
27 SECTION 7. Severability: If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, or
28 clause or phrase in this Resolution or any part thereof is for any reason held to be
4
1 unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision
2 shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Resolution or any
3 part thereof. The Mayor and Common Council hereby declares that it would have adopted
4 each section irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, sentences,
5
clauses, or phrases be declared unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective.
