Industrial Park (OIP) Zoning District Classification from a portion of

Finding No. 2:
1 Finding of Fact:
transportation routes serving the City. The change in the Zoning
District Classification would provide a single zone over the entire 16.59
acre property and would allow the development, establishment and
operation of an industrial warehouse building containing approximately
393,199 square feet, which is consistent with the light industrial uses
within the project vicinity. The project is also consistent with the
following General Plan goal and policies:
Goal 4.1 encourages economic activity that capitalizes upon the
transportation and locational strengths of San Bernardino. The
proposed change of the Zoning District Classification from Office
Industrial Park (OIP) to Industrial (IL) for a portion of the project site
containing approximately 8.18 acres to be combined with the remaining
portion of the project site containing approximately 8.41 acres will
allow for development of the proposed project in order to capitalize on
the City's transportation and locational strengths and will encourage
economic development and provide employment opportunities to the
City's residents.
Policy 2.5.6 requires that new development be designed to complement
and not devalue the physical characteristics of the surrounding
environment, including consideration of the site's natural topography
and vegetation, surrounding exemplary architectural style with tower
elements along with complimentary earth -toned colors. Policy 5.7.6
encourages architectural detailing, which includes richly articulated
surfaces rather than plain or blank walls. The project site is flat and
has been disturbed, and is surrounded by light industrial businesses,
vacant lots and nonconforming single-family residential properties.
The proposed project will result in the construction of a 393,199 square
foot industrial warehouse building with ancillary parking and
landscaping. The concrete tilt -up building will be articulated on all
sides through the use of varying parapet heights, corner elements and
the use of color and varying materials to break up the mass of the
building walls. The rooftop equipment will be screened, and extensive
landscaping will be provided along the project's frontages, consistent
with these policies. Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent
with the General Plan.
The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest,
health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City in that the
amendment from Office Industrial Park (OIP) to Industrial Light (IL)
will facilitate the development of an industrial warehouse building
containing approximately 393,199 square feet, which is consistent with
the light industrial uses within the project vicinity. The project site has

direct access from S. Waterman Avenue, E. Ennis Street and S. Lincoln
Avenue, will be fully served by utility providers, will be constructed in
accordance with all applicable codes and regulations, and will not result
in the need for the excessive provision of services. Additionally, any
potential impacts created by the proposed amendment have been
addressed in the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and
appropriate mitigation measures have been included within the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
Finding No. 3: The proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land
uses within the City.
Finding of Fact: The proposed amendment will result in removing the existing Office
Industrial Park (OIP) Zoning District classification from the project
site, resulting in the entire site having the Industrial Light (IL) Zoning
District classification. The proposed amendment will result in
transforming an underutilized site into an industrial warehouse building
containing approximately 393,199 square feet in order to capitalize on
the City's transportation and locational strengths and will encourage
economic development and provide employment opportunities to the
City's residents. Therefore, the proposed amendment will not change
the balance of land uses within the City due to the fact that the
Industrial Light (IL) Zoning District classification to allow an industrial
development on a parcel adjacent to and directly across the street from
other large parcels of land designated for industrial uses and create
greater consistency with the surrounding properties and provide for an
appropriate balance of land uses within the City limits.
Finding No. 4: The subject parcel(s) is physically suitable (including, but not limited to,
access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and
absence of physical constraints) for the requested land use designation(s)
and the anticipated land use development(s).
Finding of Fact: The proposed industrial warehouse building containing approximately
393,199 square feet along with the construction of the required on-site
and off-site improvements is permitted within the Industrial Light (IL)
Zone, subject to the approval of Development Code Amendment
(Zoning Map Amendment) 17-03, Subdivision 17-07 (Tentative Parcel
Map 19916) and Development Permit Type -D 17-02 with the
appropriate Conditions of Approval and Mayor and City Council
adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The subject site as an
industrial development is sufficient in size to accommodate the project
as proposed as required by the City of San Bernardino Development
Code for Industrial Zones. Therefore, the subject site is physically
suitable for the proposal.

SECTION 3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act.

before it, including the Mitigated Negative Declaration and written and oral testimony, and
having exercised their independent judgment, find that Development Code Amendment (Zoning
Map Amendment) 17-03, Subdivision 17-07 (Tentative Parcel Map 19916) and Development
Permit Type -D 17-02 will have no significant adverse effect on the environment with the
adoption of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and, find that the Mitigated
I Negative Declaration, as accepted by the Planning Commission as to the effects of proposed
Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 17-03, Subdivision 17-07 (Tentative
Parcel Map 19916) and Development Permit Type -D 17-02, has been completed in compliance
with CEQA and is hereby certified and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 6. Severability: If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, or clause
or phrase in this Resolution or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional,
invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the
validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Resolution or any part thereof. The
