The applicant requests approval to convert an existing service station building into a l,lOO square foot mini-market in conjunction with a self service gasoline station located at the southwest corner of Baseline Street and Muscott Street. 2. The site is zoned C-3A, Limited General Commercial and is located within the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area. The General Plan designates the site for multiple-family land uses. Therefore, the retail operation in conjunction with a service station is inconsistent with the General Plan (see attached letter from the Westside Homeowners and Tenants Association). 3. As indicated in the letter by the Westside Homeowners and Tenants Associ ati on, in the i mmedi ate area of the subj ect site, many unde- sirable activities, including drug dealing and drinking alcoholic beverages in public, are widespread. The opening of another mini- market in this area would not be in the best interest of the community and may be detrimental to the growth and development of the area. 4. The submitted site plan indicates that the proposed combination use would require five parking spaces. The subject site can only accom- modate one handicapped parking space, therefore, the applicant has purchased a parcel directly west of the site and have provided the remaining four parking spaces on said lot. A condition requiring a reciprocal parking and access in perpetuity is included. 5. Two 28-foot wide driveways will provide ingress/egress to the site, one providing access from Baseline Street and one from Muscott Avenue. Adequate on-site curculation has been provided. 6. In the C-3A zone, a five-foot wide landscaped planter area must be pro- vided along the public rights-of-way, however, because the site is located within a Redevelopment Project Area, a twenty-foot building setback from curb face is required with the area from the property line to said point suitably landscaped. The submitted site plan indicates that the applicant has complied with this requirement along Muscott Street, however, because the pump islands are exi sti ng there is not adequate area available to comply with any landscaping along Baseline Street. The applicant has provided the required five percent interior landscaping. , 7. The applicant has indicated that he intends to develop the property directly west of the subject site (where the required four parking spa- ces are located) at a.future date. .. , 0(0 0 ( 0 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING DEPARTMENT CASE Conditional Use PenDit OBSERVATIONS ~~~~?::;i;:~jl-22-85 PAGE 3 8. Photographs taken by the Planning Department indicate that the subject service station building is in need of architectural upgrading including replacing broken, boarded-up windows, painting and providing wood or brick facad to portions of the front elevations. 9. The submitted site plan indicates that a chain link fence exists along the southern property line. If the conditional use permit is approved, the chain link fence shall be required to be removed as it is visible from a major thoroughfare, Muscott Street. Additionally, a metal guard rail exists along the eastern property line, which will also be required to be removed. lO. On September 27, 1984, the Environmental Review Committee found that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment and a negative declaration was proposed with the obser- vation that it must comply with Article 79 of the Fire Code. , . " " ITV OF SAN E._Rf'ORDINO PLONlcAs~ ~i~~1;~~e~"O FINDINGS f' F^'CT AGE'JD-:;T:~-~l j o H HEARING DATE 1-22-!l~ PAGE 4 , ~ 1. The proposed retail operation in conjunction with self-service gasoline sales does not conform to the City's General Plan designation of Multiple-Family Residential at l5 to 24 units to the acre. 2. The proposed use may adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed by encouraging anti-social behavior in an area already plagued by such activities. 3. The 10,665 square foot rectangular property is not adequate in size to acconrnodate the combination use in a manner not detrimental to the par- ti cular area nor to the peace, health, safety and general welfare. 4. The traffic generated by the proposed use wi 11 not impose an undue bur- den upon Baseline Street or Muscott Street and adequate parking ,will be provided on the adjacent property. 5. The granting of the conditional use permit may be detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of San Bernardino. RECOMMENDATION Based upon the observations and findings of fact, Staff recommends adoption of the negative declaration and denial of Conditional Use Permit No. 84-57. Respectfully submitted, '.

NOV. 1980 o o o ( ( WESTS IDE HOMbvWNERS AND TENANTS ASSOCIA~.ON October 25, 1984 OOlli@~UWrn[]) OCT 26 1984 CITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT SAN BERNARDINO, CA Mr. Frank Shuma Planning Director Plannil'l!J Department City of San Bernardino 300 N. "D" Street San Bernardino, CA Dear Frank: On behalf of the westside Homeowners and Tenants Association we would like to thank you for providing an opportunity to discuss with you our concerns relating to Conditional Use Permit No. 84-57. As you are aware, the property o~mer seeks approval to reopen the old and vacant gas station on the corner of Muscott Street and Baseline Avenue as a gas station/Mini-Mart. We believe several problems exist involving the Planning Commission's approval of this permit, which are as follows: A. The surround,ing area has problems of anti-social activities by juveniles and young adults, including drug dealing and drinking alcoholic beverages in public. If a Mini-mart is allowed to open, undoubtedly beer and wine would be sold in order to make this new business financially feasible. We believe that to allow this type of establishment to exist would increase anti-social activities not only for vicinity residents, but businesses as well. What investor or developer would want to relocate and invest in this kind of atmosphere? , B. According to the Northwest Redevelopment Plan, approved by the Planning commission in 1982, this area is slated for med-high density (15-24 du/ac). Would the approval of this permit conform to the Northwest Project? We do not believe it would. C. After years of litigation with the City, involving the Northwest Project, we have settled our differences. Now, we are moving forward together! The people of the sixth ward now have, the legal right to form a Project Area Committ~e (P.A.C.). They have the, fundamental right to elect their representatives to speak on their behalf on all issues and policy matters directly affecting their neighborhoods. We are in the prqcess of holding the first P.A.C. election on December 18-19, 1984. 1524 West Seventh Street, Room A-7, San Bernardino, CA. 92411 (714) 884-8502 " '0 ( o o ( o Page two We believe that the Planning Commission has an obligation to sixth ward residents, business and Community Based Organizations to hold back on any substantial decisions affecting the N.W.R.P. until the P.A.C. is elected. With the P.A.C. on board we can begin working on a constructive and beneficial relationship with all of you as planners and Planning Commissioners. 'llkUlk you for this opportunity to express our views on this issue of L,U.P. No. 24-57. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at (714) 884-8502.
