The proposal is to change the land use zoning district from "0", Open Space to R-3-1200, Multiple-Family Residential and tOI adjust the lot li,nes between the two existing parcels. The site consists of approxi- mately 2.4 acres having a frontage of approximately 3?9 feet on the south side of Court Street and a frontage of 428 feet on the north side of 3rd Street and being located. approximately 241 feet east of the centerline of Sierra Way. 2. The subject property was included within the boundaries of General Plan Amendment No. 82-7 which established the current General Plan designation of Medium High Density Residential 15-36 units per acre from an Open Space designation. Said Amendment was adopted by the Mayor and Common Council on November 1, 1982 per the recommendation of the Planning Commission. 3. The requested change of zone from "0" to R-3-1200 woul d be consi stent with the amended General Plan and would also be compatible with the surrounding zoning designation of R-3-1200 on properties located to the north and west of the site although their current land uses do include existing nonconforming single-family residences. Property abutting the site to the east is developed with a City Fire Station and wi 11 retai nits current "0" Open Space zone desi gnati on. Surroundi ng properti es to the south across Thi rd Street i ncl ude aCHy Park ("0" Open Space) and commerci a 1 offi ce uses and vacant property within the C-3A, Limited General Commercial zone. 4. The site is located within the Central City East Redevelopment Project area to which the Ci~y Redevelopment Agency has requested both the approved General P~an Amendment and the requested change of zone. The Open Space designation on the site and surrounding properties is due to potential flooding from the unimproved Warm Creek Flood Control Channel which traverses the site from a north to south direction. Said channel is currently in the process of being placed underground within a 60 inch storm drain I'hlich is to be realigned within Court Street. 5. The subject property is located adjacent to the City Fire Station, which could si9nificantly impact any residential use due to noise ema- nating from the fire station. The noises may include: sirens, the rumbling of heavy diesel engines, and general maintenance activity noises at all hours of the day or night. Residential uses, developed on the site would need mitigation of the noise impacts through a com- bination of setbacks, greenbelts, buildihg design, building orien- tation, and noise attenuation'in the construction of the buildings. ..a.

The determination of the means by which a city, county, or city and county will comply with this chapter shall be 1n the sole discretion of the city, county, or city and county; provided, that no developer shall be required to enter into an unacceptable agreement as a prerequisite to approval of a housing development." In construing the provisions of Government Code Section 65915 as set forth above, the Attorney General's Office stated that: "We believe that it is more reasonable to conclude that a local government is free to choose alternative incentives as well as to provide additional aids to a developer if it so desires. Sufficient 'controls' are built into the statutory system so that the purposes of the legislation will be effectuated even though a density bonus or other incentives listed in section 65915 are not provided." (63 Ops. Cal. Atty. Gen. 478, 6- 9-80 ) It is further stR(ed that: , "We conclude that when a developer of housing agrees to construct at least 25 percent of the total units of a housing development for persons and families of low or moderate income, the local government need not grant a density bonus or provide at least two of the incentives specifically listed in section 65915 as long as two alternative incentives are provided that are acceptable to the developer and carry out the purpose of the statute." (63 Ops.Ca1.Atty.Gen. 6-9-80) Government Code Section 65915 as presently constituted continues to provide to the City the same broad bounds within which to fashion an agreement as to "equivalent financial value" with the developer. At Government Code Section 65915(b) it is stated, in pertinent part: o o -0 o Frank A. Schuma Page 5 January 17, 1985 "(b) 90 days of notify the the manner section." . . The city, . . . shall, within receipt of a written proposal, housing developer in writing of in which it will comply with this Pursuant to this section, the discretion remains with the City as to how it will comply with the mandate that it provide at least a twenty-five percent density bonus or other incentives of "equivalent financial value". Where the City sets forth in its response to a request for a density bonus, that it will provide industrial development bond financing in support of the project in an amount which has "equivalent financial value" to at least the value of a twenty-five perceqt density bonus, such grant of the industrial development bond financing would constitute "equivalent financial value". Provision is made for such "direct financial contribution" at Government Code Section 65916 which states that: "Where there is a direct financial contribution to a housing development pursuant to Section 65915 through participation in cost of infrastructure, write-down of land costs, or subsidiZin~ the cost of construction, the city, . . . s arr- assure-cont~nued availability for low- and moderate-income units for 30 years. When appropriate, the agreement provided for in Section 65915 shall specify the mechanisms and procedures necessary to carry out this section." (Emphasis added.) In response to the last question, Government Code Section 65915(b) sets forth that: " . . . The city. . . shall establish procedures for carrying out this section, which shall include legislative body approval of the means of compliance with this section. " Guidance as to the consequence of a failure to adopt procedures pursuant to the mandate of this section can be found in the following excerpt. '" I I o o o o " Frank A. Schuma Page 6 January 17, 1985 "Traditionally, the question of whether a public official's failure to comply with a statutory procedure should have the effect of invalidating a subsequent governmental action is characterized as a question of whether the statute should be accorded directory or mandatory effect, which in turn is determined by looking to the purpose of the procedural requirement to ascertain whether invalidation is necessary to promote the statutory design. Where such statute relates to the performance of a public duty, does not affect any private right or interest, and concerns the public alone, imperative or obligatory language employed therein is generally regarded as directory rather than mandatory, . . . On the other hand, statutory requisitions or regulations intended for the protection of the citizen, by a disregard of which his rights might be and generally would be injuriously affected, are construed as mandatory rather than directory, and the statutory duties involved must be followed or the subsequent governmental acts will be declared invalid." (58 Cal.Jur.3d, Statutes, Section 152.' . \ The City may not through its failure to adopt procedures as mandated by Government Code Section 65915 avoid the grant of density bonuses on the basis that it has no mechanism through which to make such grant. By such action the City will directly, injuriously affect the right of the developer willing to agree to construct rental housing in the requisite categories. In addition, the City will injuriously affect the right of the low-, moderate- and lower-income persons, families and households whom Government Code Section 65915 is intended to benefit. Such intent is expressly set forth at Government Code Section 65917, which states: , "In enacting this chapter it is the intent of the Legislature that the density bonus or other incentives offered by the city, . . pursuant to this chapter shall contribute significantly to the economic feasibility of All I ' c> o o o .. .- Frank A. Schuma Page 7 January 17, 1985 .. low- and moderate-income housing in proposed housing developments." In the absence of the formal procedures mandated by Government Code Section 65915, the City would have no basis on which to deny a density bonus to the developer of a project which meets the basic qualifications for such bonus. As previously indicated, the City has wide discretion in developing what it considers to be "equivalent financial value". However, any such formulation must be presented in the context of an overall procedure for processing density bonus requests as mandated by Government Code Section 65915. The options as to "equivalent financial value", specifically set forth in original Section 65915 remain available today. To reiterate, these include (a) exemption of the project from the community park requireme~t of Government Code Section 66477, (b) construction of streets, sewers and sidewalks appurtenant to the proposed housing development, (c) providing land using federal or state grant money or local revenues, and (d) exemption from any local ordinance that may increase the price of the project. The previously discussed option of providing industrial development bond financing would fall into category (c). The Planning DepaTtment has recently identified a problem that arises from the interaction of the density bonus requirement with the zone change laws. The question is one of whether in the processing of an application to allow a zone change to provide for the maximum density allowed under the General Plan, consideration can be given to the likelihood of a subsequent request for a density bonus for the same property and of the impact on housing density of any such subsequent request. The solution desired by the Planning Department is that the zone change be limited to a density less than that contemplated by the General Plan such that upon the grant of any density bonus, the overall density would remain within General Plan limits. With respect to this proposed solution, Government Code Section 65915 provides in pertinent part that "(c) . . . The density bonus shall not be included when determining the number of housing units which is equal to 10 or 25 percent of the total. . . ." This language does not preclude the inclusion of the density bonus when considering a ~ change. And, .. '_.1 o " o o o .- Frank A. Schuma Page 8 January 17, 1985 therefore, does not preclude the density limitations approach favored by the Planning Department. A proposed alternative resolution to the zone change/density bonus problem is that, when processing the zone change application, the maximum den~ity be granted on the condition that the owner of the property enter into a binding convenant guaranteeing that no application will subsequently be made requesting a density bonus for the subject property. Both the latter and the original proposed responses to the problem are within the authority of the Common Council to undertake pursuant to San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 19.06.090 (B). Neither approach conflicts with the limitations on the use of the density bonus set forth at Government Code Section 65915(c). When considering the approaches proposed by the Planning Department to the grant of a zone change in the context of a probable, subsequent request for a density bonus, note should be made of Government Code Section 65917. This section provides: "In enacting this chapter it is the intent of the Legislature that the density bonus or other incentives offered by the city, county or city and county pursuant to this chapter shall contribute significantly to the economic f~asibility of 10w- and moderate- income housing in proposed housing developments." Any approach to the grant of a density bonus which results in a number of units being provided as low or moderate income or lower income housing which is less than the numbers mandated by Government Code Section 65915 and which does not otherwise provide "equivalent financial value", could be subject to attack under this Section. However, where such efforts are undertaken in good faith, without an intent to circumvent state law, a zone change or binding agreement or any such equivalent approach, should withstand a court challenge. In summary, Government Code Section 65915 does not require that a developer apply for industrial development bond financing prior to making a request for a density bonus. If, following negotiations with a developer, the developer "., l , o 0- o o .' Frank A. Schuma Page 9 January 17, 1985 is willing to accept some alternative arrangement as an offset against the twenty-five percent density bonus, such alternative arrangement constitutes "equivalent financial value" for purposes of Government Code Section 65915. This may include industrial development bond financing provided by the City. Finally, given the expressed intent of the legislation, the failure of the City to adopt the requisite guidelines and procedures would probably work to disadvantage the City in its efforts to control the utilization of density bonuses by developers. CONCLUSION A developer requesting a density bonus need not first apply for industrial development bond financing. The issuance of such financing by the City constitutes '~quivalent financial value" where such has specifically been agreed upon by the City and the developer. In that situation, no further density bonus need be granted. . If the Planning Commission and Common Council do not adopt the procedures required .by Government Code Section 65915, the City will be hampered in its ability to control the use of the denisty bonus by developers. \ R~:~~Ubmitt'd' ~~~ City Attorney JFW:dp cc Mayor City Administrator City Clerk Concur: ;7~;;p 00 {/ 'L(Pt!"f!>>:/ ,L/ ~/ City A torney o .,. o o o DEPARTMENT "" , CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING SUMMARY \.. l&J U) ct o ~ ::;) o III a: .... <t l&J a: ct AGENDA ITEM HEARING DATE WARD II 12-18-84 S ..,j APPLICANT: J.

The app li cant is proposi ng a change of zone from the exi sting KiP, Mobil e . Home Park zone to the PRD-7, Pl anned Resi denti al Development at 7 units to the acre on a site th~t is located northerly of Little League Road and easterly of Frontage Road. The site area consists of approximately 20 acres. 2. The State College Area Plan designates the site presently for residential uses at 4-7 units per acre. The requested zoning is at 7 units per acre which would give the developer the maximum number of units per acre as per- mitted by the General Plan. 3. Should the present owner or any subsequent owner of the site wish to pro- vide affordable housing they may be eligible for a density bonus of 25% which would permit up to 8.75 units per acre. 4. Consideration of two alternatives could be made on request for residential zone changes. The first being to allow no more than seventy-five percent of the top end of the density range of the General Plan so that in the event a subsequent request for a density bonus, the final density would be in conformance with the General Plan. The second alternative to the den- sity bonus issue would be that the zone change to a higher density could be accompanied by a statement or certificate to be recorded with the property indicating that a density bonus will not be pursued by the current property owner or any subsequent property owner. . 5.A Planned Residential Development zone would allow for a variety of resi- dential uses from a single-family project to a multiple-family project. through the approval of a conditional use permit. With zoning at 7 units to the acre, the most viable type of housing product to be built on the site would appear to be a single-family development. 6. This 'zone change was part of the tDtal development proposal that appeared before the Environmental Review Committee on September 13, 1984. At the meeting, the Committee required a focused Environmental Impact Report to determine the environmental impacts as a result of limited vehicular access. The applicant appealed that determination to the Planning Commission at the meeting of October 2, 1984. The Commission upheldd the decision of the Environmental Report Committee and denied the appeal for the focused Environmental Impact Report. Subsequent to that decision, the applicant made an appeal to the Mayor and Common Council which granted the appeal and wai ved the focused Envi ronmental Impact Report and issued a Negative Declaration.

The Planned Residential Development zone would require flexibility in resi- . denti al type and development standards yet wi 11 requi re substanti al upgra- d~s such as higher parking requirements and 25 percent usable open space. A conditional use permit is required with any type of development proposal / in the PRD zone, therefore, any development proposal subsequent to the zone change will require review and approval by the Planning Commission. 8. The surrounding land uses consist of Barstow (1-215) Freeway to the west aC'ross Frontage Road and the Pet Cemetary to the south wi th vacant land in all other directions. 9. The Verdemont Study which is close to final stages of completion indicates that the proposed land use type designated for the site is that of Resi~ential at 4 to 7'units per acre. Therefore, the requested change of zone is in conformance with the Verdemont Study. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the observati ons contai ned wi thi n, the staff report and that a negati ve declaration has previously .been approved for the subject site by the Mayor and Common Council C!nd that the requested zone change is consi stent wi th the existing and proposed density per their respective plans, Staff recommends approval of Change of Zone Change No. 84-14.

HEARING DATE l-ZZ-11:> PAGE L 1. The proposal is to change the land use zoning district from R-3-3000, Multiple-Family Residential .to PRD 14u, Planned Residential Develop- ment. The subject property consists of approximately 2.3 acres with frontages onto both "J" and "I" Streets located approximately 217 feet south of Hazel Street. 2. The property recently underwent a previous zone change from R-I-7200, Single-Family Residential, to R-3-3000, Multiple-Family Residential which was approved by the Mayor and Common Council on November 14, 1984. The density requested by the current proposal is equal to that of the previous zone change approval. However, the PRD zone would per- mit the applicant to develop the property as condominium units as well as apartments. In general, the development standards of the PRD zone allow for greater flexibility in project design which could potentially provide for more desirable development of this parcel. 3. The density proposed by the zone change is consi stent wi th General Plan Amendment 83-2 which encompassed approximately 50 acres bordered by Mi 11 Street on the north, "J" Street on the west, Grant Avenue on the south and Interstate 215 on the east. The General Plan as amended by the Mayor and Common Council on November 21,1983 per the recommen- dation of the Planning Commission reflected a land use designation of medium density residential at 8-14 units per acre for the site and surrounding properties to the north. The previous General Plan designation for the site included both Single-Family Residential at 4-7 units per acre and Me~ium-High Density Residential at 15-36 units per acre.. The General t' I an currently desi gnates the surroundi ng properti es to the south for an elementary school, Light Industrial to the east across "I" Street and Single-Fami ly Residential to the west across "J" Street. , 4. The surrounding land use and zoning designations included non- conformi ng Singl e-F ami ly Resi dences withi n the C-M, Commerci a 1 Manufacturing zone, to the north, Urbita Elementary School within the R-1-7200 zone to the south, non-conforming single-family and multiple- family land uses within the C-M zone to the east and single-family residences within the R-1-7200 Single-Family Residential zone to the west. The 2.3 acre site is irregularly-shaped with two street fron- tages consi sti ng of 132 feet on the west si de of "I" Street and a fron- tage of 35 feet on the east si de of "J" Street. Although access can be achieved via both "J" and "I" Streets, the units will probably be ori ented to the wi der frontage on "I" Street. Development of the par- cel under the provi sions of the PRD 14U zone would assure that a pro- ject is compatible with surrounding uses.

The flat, vacant site has no physical deterrents to development. The proposed PRD 14U zoning designation would permit a maximum of 32 units on the si te. 6. The Environmental Review Committee on December 27, 1984 recommended the issuance of a Negative Declaration for Change of Zone No. 84-30. The Committee found that the site is not subject to any environmental hazards. o o o o r CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING DEPARTMENT . CASE ~e of Zone FINDINGS of FACT ~~~~~~G~~~~E4-1~_22_85 \. PAGE. 4 r- 1. The proposed change of zone from R-3-3000 to PRD 14/U does not increase the density of permitted development. 2. The proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan per General Plan Amendment No. 83-2. 3. There are no adverse environmental effects associated with the change of zone request. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Negative Declaration and approval of Change of Zone No. 84-30 frQm R-3-3000, Multiple-Family Residential to PRD 14U, Planned Residential Development District based on the observa- tions and findings contained in the staff report.
