CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT NO. 96-04 AND
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 95-13
Mayor and Common Council Meeting December 2, 1996
REQUEST/LOCATION: The applicant is requesting approval of Development Code
Amendment No. 96-04 to amend Development Code Section 19.06.020(B)(4), Table 06.01,
COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS LIST OF PERMITTED USES, to allow car, RV and truck sales
in the CR-3, Commercial Regional land use district south of the Interstate 10 freeway, subject
to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant is also requesting approval of a
Conditional Use Permit to establish a used truck sales lot on 3.39 acres located at the southeast
corner of Redlands Boulevard and Hunts Lane in the CR-3, Commercial Regional land use
designation.
KEY POINTS: There are several key points which have been identified as follows:
Development Code Amendment No. 96-04
o Development Code Section 19.06.020(B)(4), TABLE 06.01, COMMERCIAL
DISTRICTS LISTS OF PERMITTED USES permits car, RV and truck sales in
the CG-1, CG-2, CG-3, CG-5, CR-1, CH, CCS-1 and CCS-2 land use districts
subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. New car, RV, and truck
sales are permitted in the CR-4 designation subject to the approval of a
Development Permit, and used vehicle sales in conjunction with a "new" sales
dealer is permitted in the CR-4 district subject to the approval of a Development
Permit. CR-3 is not listed as one of the districts that permits vehicle sales, since
vehicle sales is not consistent with the highly corporate character of the
Hospitality Lane area generally associated with the CR-3 designation.
o The proposed amendment would revise Development Code Section
19.06.020(B)(4), adding the CR-3 district to those in which car, RV, and truck
sales is permitted with a Conditional Use Permit. A note would be added to
indicate that the car, RV, and truck sales would only apply to the CR-3 district
south of the Interstate 10 freeway (subject to a Conditional Use Permit). Car,
RV and truck sales would not be permitted in the CR-3 district north of Interstate
10.
Development Code Amendment No. 96-04 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 96-13
Mayor and Common Council Meeting December 4, 1996
Page 2
o The proposed amendment is consistent with General Plan Objective 1.17, which
encourages the expansion of the Tri-City/Commercenter and Club areas as region-
serving mixed use centers; capitalizing on their location along the Interstate 10
corridor.
The amendment would create additional opportunities to add regional vehicle sales
to the mixed region-serving commercial uses in the CR-3 district, south of the
Interstate 10 Freeway.
o If it is determined that a proposed vehicle sales lot is either inappropriate on a
particular parcel in this area, or that it is incompatible with a particular adjoining
use, the Conditional Use Permit provides the discretion needed to condition or
deny the proposal.
Conditional Use Permit No. 96-13
o The Conditional Use Permit is a proposal to establish a used truck sales lot on
approximately 1.45 acres of a 3.39 acre parcel in the CR-3 land use designation.
The facility would sell used tractor trucks. Hours of operation would be 7:30
a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, although the applicant has indicated
that the hours of operation could be extended to include weekends and evenings.
o The application includes a proposal to install a modular building on a permanent
foundation to serve as the sales office. The landscaped areas adjacent to the
proposed modular office would include shrubs and trees to improve the
appearance of the modular building to ensure compatibility with the surrounding
area.
o The conditional use permit cannot be approved unless Development Code
Amendment No. 96-04 is approved and implemented.
o The proposed truck sales lot is consistent with Development Code Amendment
No. 96-04 and would be compatible with the surrounding mixed regional
commercial land uses in the vicinity and with the truck stop and truck related uses
located across Hunts Lane to the west in the City of Colton.
o The proposed truck sales lot meets all Development Code Requirements including
those specified for vehicle sales lots

ANALYSIS - DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT
Development Code Amendment
Development Code Section 19.06.020(B)(4), TABLE 06.01, COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS
LISTS OF PERMITTED USES permits car, RV and truck sales in the CG-1, CG-2, CG-3, CG-
5, CR-1, CH, CCS-1 and CCS-2 land use districts subject to the approval of a Conditional Use
Permit. New car, RV, and truck sales is permitted in the CR-4 designation subject to the
approval of a Development Permit, and used vehicle sales in conjunction with a "new" sales

Page 2
dealer is permitted in the CR-4 district subject to the approval of a Development Permit. CR-3
is not listed as one of the districts that permits vehicle sales, since vehicle sales is not consistent
with the highly corporate character of the Hospitality Lane area generally associated with the
CR-3 designation.
However, the area south of the Interstate 10 that is designated CR-3 does not have the same
"corporate character" as the north side, Hospitality Lane/Tri-City area, and is appropriate for
vehicle sales. The land uses south of the Interstate 10 Freeway in the CR-3 designation are
mixed regional commercial uses that are consistent with regional vehicle sales. These uses
include Price/Costco, Home Base, and Camping World. Vehicle sales is also consistent with
the truck stop located across Hunts Lane to the west in the City of Colton, and with the new
truck sales lot located on the south side of Redlands Boulevard, west of and adjacent to the truck
stop in the City of Colton. For this reason, the applicant is proposing the Development Code
Amendment to allow car, RV, and truck sales in the CR-3 district, south of the Interstate 10,
subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
The proposed amendment would revise Development Code Section 19.06.020(B)(4), adding the
CR-3 district to those in which car, RV, and truck sales is permitted with a Conditional Use
Permit. A note would be added to indicate that the car, RV, and truck sales would only apply
to the CR-3 district south of the Interstate 10 freeway (subject to a Conditional Use Permit).
See Attachment B-1.
General Plan Consistency
The proposed amendment is consistent with General Plan Objective 1.17, which states:
"Continue and expand the Tri-City/Commercenter and Club areas as region-serving
mixed use centers; capitalizing on their location along the Interstate 10 corridor, and
establishing a well-defined linkage to the City's major commercial and industrial districts
and residential neighborhoods."
The amendment would create additional opportunities to add regional vehicle sales to the mixed
region-serving commercial uses in the CR-3 district, south of the Interstate 10 Freeway. If,
however, it is determined that a proposed vehicle sales lot is either inappropriate on a particular
parcel in this area, or that it is incompatible with a particular adjoining use, the Conditional Use
Permit provides the discretion needed to condition or deny the proposal.
Development Code Amendment No. 96-04
Conditional Use Permit No. 96-13
Agenda #1
Hearing Date: 11-19-96
Page 3
ANALYSIS - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Proposal
The applicant proposes to establish a used truck sales lot on approximately 1.45 acres of a 3.39
acre parcel in the CR-3 land use designation. The facility would sell used tractor trucks
intended for hauling freight. Hours of operation would be 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday
through Friday, although the applicant has indicated that the hours of operation could be
extended to include weekends and evenings.
The applicant proposes the installation of a modular building on a permanent foundation to serve
as the sales office. The applicant further proposes landscaping to include shrubs and trees
adjacent to the modular building to improve its appearance and ensure compatibility with the
surrounding area.
Permitted Use
Assuming approval of Development Code Amendment No. 64-04, upon which this application
is dependent, the proposed used truck sales facility would be a permitted use in the CR-3 land
use district subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
Site and Area Characteristics
The 3.39 acre site is roughly rectangular in shape and is located at the southeast corner of
Redlands Boulevard and Hunts Lane in the CR-3 land use district. The site presently vacant,
relatively flat, and devoid of any vegetation.
The site is in an urbanized area and surrounded by development on all sides. Surrounding land
uses include mixed commercial uses across Redlands Boulevard on the north, a night club
building and an operating motel adjacent on the east, a commercial business park adjacent on
the south, and a truck stop and truck related uses (including new truck sales) across Hunts Lane
on the west, within the City of Colton.
Compatibility
The proposed use is compatible with the mixed regional commercial land uses in the vicinity and
with the truck stop and truck related uses located across Hunts Lane to the west in the City of
Colton.
Development Code Amendment No. 96-04
Conditional Use Permit No. 96-13
Agenda #1
Hearing Date: 11-19-96
Page 4
Development Code and General Plan Consistency
The proposal is consistent with the Development Code(assuming approval of Development Code
Amendment No. 96-04) and is consistent with the General Plan as shown in Attachment C.
Landscaping
The applicant proposes 9,630 square feet of landscaping of the proposed area of improvement
or approximately 16 percent of the net area of improvement (total area of improvement less
buildings). The remaining approximate 1.9 acres of the site identified as a future improvement
area will be hydroseeded to reduce dust and improve the appearance of the vacant lot.
Parking and Internal Circulation
A total of 15 standard parking stalls are proposed, 9 spaces in excess of the 6 spaces required
by the Development Code. All drive aisles are two-way and exceed the 24 foot minimum
required by the Development Code to ensure adequate circulation.
Loading
One 15 by 19 foot loading space has been provided at the southeast corner of the improved area
of the site in accordance with applicable Development Code Standards.
Traffic
The City Traffic Engineer has reviewed the proposal and has determined that the proposal will
not significantly impact the adjacent street system and that a traffic study was not required.
CONCLUSION
DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT NO. 96-04
The proposed amendment to Development Code Section 19.06.020(B)(4), TABLE 06.01,
COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS LISTS OF PERMITTED USES, will allow car, RV and truck
sales in the CR-3 land use district, south of Interstate 10, subject to the approval of a
Conditional Use Permit. The amendment is consistent with General Plan Objective 1.17, which
encourages the expansion of the Tri-City/Commercenter and Club areas as region-serving mixed
use centers that capitalize on proximity to the Interstate 10 corridor. The area affected by the
amendment has been constrained to the CR-3 areas south of Interstate 10 to ensure that the high
quality corporate character north of I-10 is maintained. Car, RV, and truck sales are consistent
with the mixed regional uses in the CR-3 south of Interstate 10. An Initial study was prepared

The proposed truck sales lot is a permitted use in the CR-3 land use designation subject to the
approval of a Conditional Use Permit (assumes approval and adoption of Development Code
Amendment No. 96-04. The proposal meets all Development Code requirements of the CR-3
land use district and is compatible with the surrounding land uses. An Initial study was prepared
for the proposal and a negative declaration has been recommended by the ERC. Any impacts
resulting from the project have been addressed through project Conditions of Approval and
Standard Requirements.

Project: Development Code Amendment No. 96-04 and Conditional Use Permit No. 96-13
Owner/Applicant: John E. Dieterich
Introduction
This Initial Study is provided by the City of San Bernardino for Development Code Amendment
No. 96-04 and Conditional Use Permit No. 96-13. It contains an evaluation of potential
adverse impacts that can occur if Development Code Amendment No. 96-04 and Conditional Use
Permit No. 96-13 are approved.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the preparation of an Initial Study
whenever a proposal must obtain discretionary approval from a governmental agency and is not
u, exempt from CEQA. The purpose of the Initial Study is to determine whether or not a proposal,
not exempt from CEQA, qualifies for a Negative Declaration or whether or not an

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Development Code Amendment No. 96-04 is a request to amend the Development Code to allow
Car, RV and Truck Sales in the CR-3 land use designation subject to the approval of a
Conditional Use Permit. The amendment would apply to the CR-3 land use district south of
Interstate 10 (I-10). Conditional Use Permit No. 96-13 is a request to establish a used truck
sales lot on the northern 1.4 acres of the site at the corner of Redlands Boulevard and Hunts
Lane. The Development Code Amendment is necessary in order to establish the used truck sales
lot in that location since new or used vehicle sales is not currently a permitted use in the CR-3
land use district.
2. SITE AND AREA CHARACTERISTICS
Development Code Amendment No. 96-04
The area affected by the Development Code Amendment is that area located south of the I-10
freeway in the CR-3 land use district. This area is relatively flat and highly urbanized with a
majority of businesses characterized as being regional commercial in nature.
Conditional Use Permit No. 96-13
The 3.39 acre site is roughly rectangular in shape and is located at the southeast corner of
Redlands Boulevard and Hunts Lane in the CR-3 land use district. The site presently vacant,
relatively flat, and devoid of any vegetation.
The site is in an urbanized area and surrounded by development on all sides. Surrounding land
uses include mixed commercial uses across Redlands Boulevard on the north, a night club
building and an operating motel adjacent on the east, a commercial business park adjacent on
the south, and a truck stop and truck related uses across Hunts Lane on the west, within the City
of Colton.
3. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
Development Code Amendment No. 96-04
The area affected by the amendment includes properties located within flood hazard areas, areas
of liquefaction susceptibility, areas of potential ground subsidence, and within the Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zone. The exact environmental setting of any specific project proposed will
be dependent upon the individual project location as determined by any future conditional use
permit application. Conditional use permit applications submitted under the provisions
established by this proposed amendment and environmental issues are such that they will be
addressed with each individual application submittal.

Conditional Use Permit No. 96-13
The project site is located within a flood hazard zone, and an area identified as having a
potential for ground subsidence and liquefaction susceptibility.
4. SUMMARY
Development Code Amendment No. 96-04
Development Code Amendment No. 96-04 would create the potential for the development of
Car, RV, and Truck sales facilities in the CR-3 land use district subject to the approval of a
Conditional Use Permit. In those areas where potential impacts may occur, proposals under the
amendment would be subject to review under CEQA and may be conditioned to reduce or
eliminate impacts as necessary.
Conditional Use Permit No. 96-13
The project site is located within a flood hazard zone, and area identified as having a potential
for ,ground subsidence and liquefaction susceptibility. Project Conditions of Approval and
Standard Requirements will reduce potential impacts to a level of non-significance.

14. Mandatory Findings of Significance
(Section 15065)
The California Environmental Quality Act states that if any of the following can be answered
yes or maybe, the project may have a significant effect on the environment and an
Environmental Impact Report shall be prepared. Based on this Initial Study:
a. Does the project have the
potential to degrade the
quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat
of a fish or wildlife species,
cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California
history or prehistory? _ X
b. Does the project have the
to the disadvantage of long-
term, environmental goals? (A
short-term impact on the
environment is one which
occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time
while long-term impacts will
endure well into the future.) X _
c. Does the project have impacts
which are individually limited,
but cumulatively considerable?
(A project may impact on two
or more separate resources where
the impact on each resource is
relatively small, but where the
' - effect of the total of those
impacts on the environment is
significant.) _ X

d. Does the project have
environmental effects which will
cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either
directly or indirectly? _ X _
B. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION AND MITIGATION MEASURES
(SECTION 7)
Note: Unless otherwise noted below, the discussion pertains to Conditional Use Permit No. 96-13.
Development Code Amendment No. 96-04 would permit Car, RV and Truck sales facilities only after
the submittal and approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Environmental impacts resulting from the
establishment of such a facility will be site specific and dependent upon the location of the specific
proposal and its relation to specific environmental hazards (if any) of the site. Such issues will be
addressed within the context of specific development applications prior to their approval pursuant to the
provisions of the CEQA. Potential impacts resulting directly from the amendment or it implementation
are not considered significant.
1. Earth Resources
g. The project site is identified as being located in an area of potential ground subsidence. Figure 51 in
the General Plan shows the extent of the historic area of subsidence which is within the thick, poorly
consolidated alluvial and marsh deposits of the old artesian area north of Loma Linda. Potential
subsidence within this area may be as great as 5 to 8 feet if ground water is depleted from the Bunker
Hill-San Timoteo Basin. In 1972, the San Bernardino Municipal Water District began to maintain
groundwater levels from recharge to percolation basins which filter back into the alluvial deposits.
Since the recharge program began, problems with ground subsidence have not been identified.
h. The project is located in an area identified as having a potential for high liquefaction susceptibility.
Compliance with the requirements of the City's liquefaction ordinance, MC-676 will ensure potential
impacts relating to liquefaction is reduced to a level of insignificance.
3. Water Resources
e. According to the most recent Flood Insurance Rate Map Community Panel Numbers 06071C8683F and
06071C8691F, dated March 18, 1996, the site lies within Zones AE. Zones AE includes flood hazard
areas that will be inundated by a 100-year storm event. Engineering Standard Requirements regarding
project compliance with the latest Federal Insurance Administration flood proofing requirements in force
at the time of construction will reduce impacts to an acceptable level.
City of San Bernardino
Environmental Impact Checklist

5. Noise
b. No truck repair or other outdoor noise generating uses have been proposed under the Conditional Use
Permit. The Conditional Use Permit is for the establishment of a truck sales lot only. No impacts have
been identified.
6. Land Use
Development Code Amendment No. 96-04
1
a-c. The amendment would allow Car, RV, and Truck sales south of the I-10 only, subject to the approval
of a Conditional Use Permit. Vehicle sales in this area is consistent with the existing regional
commercial development in this area. Vehicle sales north of the I-10 was not considered as part of the
amendment since vehicle sales in this area would be incompatible with the office park environment
presently located in the CR-3 district north the freeway.
9. Transportation/Circulation
Development Code Amendment No. 96-04
Individual projects proposed under Development Code Amendment No. 96-04 would be subject to
review under the provisions of CEQA. The City Traffic Engineer will review all such projects on a
case-by-case basis for impacts. Projects would be conditioned to as necessary to prevent significant
traffic impacts, once submitted.
Conditional Use Permit No. 96-13
a. The City Traffic Engineer has reviewed the proposal and has determined that the additional vehicle trips
resulting from the truck sales facility will not cause any significant impact on the adjoining street
system.
