Project Description:
Pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 19.50 (General Plan Amendments), Chapter
19.42 (Development Code Amendments) and Chapter 19.74 (Zoning Map
Amendments) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code, the applicant is
requesting the approval of General Plan Amendment 16-02 and Development Code
Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17 to allow:
1) The change of the General Plan Land Use Designation from Residential
Suburban to Residential Medium High-20 and the Zoning District from
Residential Suburban (RS) to Residential Medium High-20 (RMH-20) for three
(3) parcels containing a total of approximately 3.57 acres in order to construct a
Planned Unit Development comprised of fifty-one (51) attached residential units
within the sphere of influence of the unincorporated area of the City of San
Bernardino.
Analysis:
County of San Bernardino Review - On April 9, 2008, the applicant submitted an
application for Conditional Use Permit P2008-00253 and Tentative Tract Map 17501 to
the County of San Bernardino in order to allow the construction of a Planned Unit
Development (PUD) comprised of fifty-one (51) attached residential units. The subject
3.57-acre site is located within the unincorporated area of the City of San Bernardino
and is currently "pre-zoned" with a General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning
District classification of Residential Suburban (RS). In order for the County of San
Bernardino to proceed with the processing of their Conditional Use Permit P2008-00253
and Tentative Tract Map 17501, the applicant is required to obtain the approval of a
General Plan Amendment and Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map
Amendment) from the City of San Bernardino changing the General Plan Land Use
Designation and Zoning District from Residential Suburban (RS) to Residential Medium
High (RMH) so that the proposed fifty-one (51) residential unit PUD will comply with the
allowable density.
Land Use Regulations - According to §82.04.060 (Residential Land Use District Site
Planning and Building Standards) of the County of San Bernardino Development Code,
the allowable density within the Medium Residential (RM) zone is twenty (20) units per
acre. The density for the proposed fifty-one (51) residential unit PUD is fifteen (15) units
per acre.
According to §19.04.030 (Development Standards) of the City of San Bernardino
Development Code, the allowable density within the Residential Suburban (RS) zone is
4.5 units per acre, which would allow up to a maximum of sixteen (16) residential units
on the subject site. The requested Residential Medium High-20 (RMH-20) zone has an
allowable density of twenty (20) units per acre, which is consistent with the residential
density allowed by the County of San Bernardino.
Sewer Service - Pursuant to Resolution N. 97-275, adopted by the Mayor and Common
Council on September 4, 1997, properties located outside of the incorporated territory of
the City of San Bernardino may receive sewer services, subject to the execution of a

4536
standard form agreement. California Government Code §56133 also requires the
approval by the Local Agency Formation Commission for connection of properties within
the County to a City's sewer system.
Accordingly, on January 15, 2014, the applicant submitted an Application for Sewer
Services Outside of City Boundaries with the City's Public Works Department - Real
Property Division to initiate the proceedings for the connection to the City's sewer
system for the subject property which is located outside the boundaries of the City of
San Bernardino, pursuant to California Government Code §56133. Under the terms of
this application, the applicant has agreed that he will be required to execute an
"Irrevocable Agreement to Annex" in the event that the subject property is annexed into
the City of San Bernardino at some future time. Subsequently, in February 2014, the
applicant submitted a Sewer Line Capacity Evaluation/Analysis to determine if the
existing sewer line located on N. 1st Avenue to N. "F" Street from 48th Street to the
main line at 40th Street has adequate capacity to allow the connection of the proposed
fifty-one (51) residential unit PUD for proposed Tentative Tract Map 17501 to the sewer
line. On April 21, 2014, the City Engineer of the City of San Bernardino approved the
Sewer Line Capacity Evaluation/Analysis and its recommendations.
General Plan Amendment and Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map
Amendment) - This request is only to change of the General Plan Land Use Designation
and the Zoning District of the subject site and does not involve the actual approval of
the proposed fifty-one (51) residential unit PUD. Should the Mayor and Common
Council approve General Plan Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment
(Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17, the County of San Bernardino will then be able to
proceed with the processing of their respective Conditional Use Permit P2008-00253
and Tentative Tract Map 17501 application in order to allow the construction of the
proposed fifty-one (51) residential unit PUD.
Public Comments and Planning Commission Review - On April 20, 2016, the Planning
Commission conducted a public hearing on General Plan Amendment 16-02 and
Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17. During the public
hearing, residents from the neighboring Arrowhead Farms community located within the
subject sphere of influence of the unincorporated area of the City of San Bernardino
raised concerns relating to the proposed increased density and its potential impacts to
the surrounding neighborhood. Upon the conclusion of the public testimony and after
their deliberation, the Planning Commission was in concurrence that the increased
density is not appropriate for this specific neighborhood. Thus, this item was continued
to their meeting of May 18, 2016, and staff was directed to prepare a Resolution
forwarding a recommendation of denial to the Mayor and Common Council for General
Plan Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment.

alleviate potential impacts; and, 4) there are no additional potential significant
environmental impacts that may result from the proposed development of the Planned
Unit Development comprised of fifty-one (51) attached residential units. Additionally, an
Administrative Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared
under the direction of the County of San Bernardino for their respective Conditional Use
Permit P2008-00253 and Tentative Tract Map 17501 application that will be completed

17 was published on April 8, 2016 for the CEQA-mandated ten (10) day public review
and comment period, and there were no public written comments received or verbal
comments presented as of the date of the preparation of this Staff Report.
On March 10, 2016, the Development and Environmental Review Committee reviewed

SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
a
On May 18, 2016, in accordance with §15061 of CEQA, during a duly advertised and continued N
public hearing, the Planning Commission considered the Categorical Exemption pursuant to U
§15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) of CEQA. In accordance with §15270(a) of CEQA, the °

AMENDMENT) 14-17: Q
0
Sections 19.42.050, 19.50.050 and 19.74.050 of the City of San Bernardino Development Code d
require that General Plan Amendment and Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map °
Y
Amendments) applications meet certain findings prior to the approval by the Mayor and
Common Council. However, the following findings are provided in support of the
recommendation by the Planning Commission for the denial of General Plan Amendment 16-02
and Development Code Amendment(Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17: t°
a.
Finding No. 1: The proposed amendment is internally consistent with the General Plan. E
U_
Finding of Fact: The proposed General Plan Amendment and Development Code
Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) would result in the change of the 3
General Plan Land Use Designation from Residential Suburban to
Residential Medium High-20 and the Zoning District from Residential
Suburban (RS) to Residential Medium High-20 (RMH-20) for three (3)
LO
parcels containing a total of approximately 3.57 acres within the sphere of
influence of the unincorporated area of the City of San Bernardino. N
Although the proposed General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning q
District of Residential Medium High-20 would be consistent with the o
County of San Bernardino's General Plan Land Use Designation and
Zoning District of Medium Residential for the subject three (3) parcels,
the proposed Residential Medium High-20 General Plan Land Use o
Designation and Zoning District for the construction of a Planned Unit
Development comprised of fifty-one (5 1) attached residential units would U
not be consistent with the existing "Residential Suburban" characteristics a.

L
Finding No. 4 The subject parcels are physically suitable (including but not limited to,
access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and
adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested 3

a
Finding of Fact: The subject site is currently under-utilized which is only developed with a
LO
single-family residence. The proposed General Plan Amendment and
Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) would N
facilitate the construction of a Planned Unit Development comprised of q
fifty-one (51) attached residential units with the on-site and off-site o
improvements. However, the City's General Plan Land Use Element has
pre-zoned the sphere of influence of this specific unincorporated area of 0
r
the City of San Bernardino as"Residential Suburban" in order to maintain o
its detached single family residential character and compatibility with
adjoining land uses, as well as to provide adequate services. With its
U
established detached single family residential character, the existing n.
neighborhood has been developed and maintained to specifically support N
detached single family residences. The development of such proposed
attached multi-family residences would generate an increased need to E
address conflicting land uses and the need for services beyond what has
been contemplated by the City or planned for by the City's General Plan Q
which may result in unforeseen effects. Therefore, proposed General Plan
Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map E

POLICY RELATIVE TO CONNECTION
OF UNINCORPORATED PROPER'T'IES TO
THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO SEWAGE SYSTEM
PURPOSE:
ti
To establish a policy regulating the connection of parcels
under the County' s jurisdiction to the City' s sewage system, a
AUTHORITY: N
1 . Resolution No. 83-279 - - Provides that users located v
outside the incorporated territory of the City may receive
sewer services , subject to execution of a standard form
agreement. 04
0
I �
2. Resolution No. 89-510 - - Establishes a connection fee for t
an application to connect any property located outside the
corporate limits to the City public sewer, in the amount
of $1 ,000 . 00 to recover the extra administrative cost.
E
3 . Section 56133 of the Government Code -- Requires approval _o
CD
by the Local Agency Formation Commission for connection of >
a parcel within the County to a City ' s sewage or water o
system. *-
BACKGROUND:
w- A policy was adopted by Resolution No. 83-279 for the
j provision of sewer services to users located outside the City. f°
The City' s Director of Public Works/City Engineer was 0
authorized to execute a standard form agreement with any E
prospective users, subject to verification by the Board of Li
Water Commissioners, that sufficient sewer plant capacity was
available. A copy of this standard form agreement is attached v
s
for reference. 3
0
L
Section 56133 of the Government Code requires approval from `z
the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for any County M
parcel to connect to a City' s sewage or water system. The LO
application fee for such approval is $2 ,600 .00 . LAFCO re-
quires that the serving City indicate their concurrence with ti
the request for connection, before accepting the fee and
processing the application.
For any development within an unincorporated island, the
County requires that the applicant contact the City to E
ascertain if sewer service can be provided. This requirement
applies to existing single family residences wishing to Q
replace a failed septic tank. In the event that sewer service
is not available (due to the lack of a sewer main or refusal
by the City to allow connection) the County will proceed to
issue a permit for a septic tank.
Exhibit "A"
Packet Pg. 721
I
97-275
I
One concern cities typically have in allowing properties
outside their limits to connect to their sewer system, is that
the incentive for annexation is lost. Some cities have
addressed this concern by requiring the owner of a County
j parcel to enter into an Irrevocable Agreement for Annexation,
in exchange for valuable consideration rendered - namely
connection to the municipal sewage system. This Agreement
would be recorded and become a covenant for future owners.
ti
These Agreements can be held until a majority within a certain
area is received, and then submit an application for annexa-
tion. N
Q
U
POLICY:
It is the policy of the City of San Bernardino to allow connec-
tion of County parcels to the City' s sewage system, subject to N
all of the following: 9
1 . Property is within the City' s Sphere of Influence. a
ca
2. Approval by the Local Agency Formation Commission.
E
3. Verification by the Board of Water Commissioners that o
sufficient wastewater treatment plant capacity is available.
CD
4 . Compliance with the land use established by the City' s
General Plan. �
I D
5 . Execution by the owner of an Irrevocable Agreement for C
Annexation. (Copy is attached for reference) M
a
N
6. Compliance with all applicable City Standards for E
construction of sewer lateral mains and appurtenant �i
facilities . a
