The Mayor and City Council find that the above -stated Recitals are true and hereby adopt and incorporate them herein. SECTION 2. Findings of Fact — Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 17-02: Finding No. 1: The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan. Finding of Fact: The proposed amendment will result in removing the existing Office Industrial Park (OIP) Zoning District Classification from a portion of the project site, resulting in the entire site having the Industrial Light (IL) Zoning District Classification. The Industrial Light (IL) Zoning District Classification is intended to provide for the new development of lighter industrial uses along major vehicular, rail, and air 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 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 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 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. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26' 27 28 SECTION 3.
