I 1. The applicant is requesting a zone change on 29.4 acres from the existing "0" - Open Space District, to C-M, Conmercial- Manufacturing District. The property is located southerly of Century Avenue, westerly of Camino Real, and northerly of Fairway Drive. General Plan Amendment No. 84-4, approved by the Planning Commission on January 8, 1984, amended the land use designation on the property Open Space and Conseryation to Genera~ Commercial. The previous request was approved by thelMayor and Common Council on January 21, 1985. ' 2, The property is currently being utilized as a Golf Co~rse and also contains three radio towers traversing the parcel. Adjacent to the Golf Course, which extends westerly is the Warm Springs Flood Control Channel zoned "0". There is a vacant 13-acre par- cel northerly zoned C-M. Properties abutting Camino Real and Fairway Drive are zoned C-3A and partially developed as commercial-recreational uses. These properties are designated as Commercial-RecreatTonal by the General Plan. Surrounding pro- perty northerly and easterly is still designated as Open Space and Conservation by the General Plan. The proposed C-M zoning designation would permit commercial and light industrial office uses which are compatible with surrounding commercial uses. 3. In assessing the impacts of the proposed, the Environmental Review Committee determined that the project would be associated with the following impacts as part of the previous General Plan Amendment which would similarly apply to the current request: A) Noi se: The site is within Airport District IV (C.U.D. 12). Norton Air Force Base has indicated that commercial luses would be appropriate for the site with a Noise Level Reduction (N.L.R.) of 25 Ldn. B) Traffi c: A traffic study prepared for the property indicated that impacts resulting from development would require off-site improvements and signalization. C) Flood: The property is adjacent to the confluence of the Warm Creek and the Santa Ana Flood Control Channels, Mitigation of any adverse impacts would be determined by the County Flood Con- trol District and the City Engineer. , ". o CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING DFPARJ~NT CASE ~ 0 e OBSERVATIONS AGENDA ~~:5-L~_ti~ HEARING DATE J PAGE 3 '"" D) Seismic and Geoloqic Impacts: The site is located within the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone with a branch of the San Jacinto fault traversing the property and also within Liquefaction Zone A. The Geologic and Soils information submitted to date has not met the re- quirements of the Alquist-Priolo Act per the recommendation of the City Geologist. A more detailed geotechnical report is necessary which includes the use of trenching to determine fault location more accurately. With the previous request for a General Plan Amendment, the Environmental Review Com- mittee determined that a report which meets the require- ments can be submitted prior to approval of a subdivision or site development plan due to the location of the sub- surface antennae associated with the three radio towers. In the interim, the applicant submitted additional corres- pondence and information contending that the information submitted to date meets the requirements of the Alquist-, Priolo Special Studies Act. Attached is a letter requesting review of materials by the State Geologist and the response to that request in a letter dated January 30, 1985. On January 31, 1985, the Environmental Review Committee a9ain determined that additional geotechnical studies shall be submitted prior to subdivision or site approval which meet the requirements of the Act. , " . > 000 0 , CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING DEPARTMENT CASE ~e of Zone No. FINDINGS of FACT AGE~DA ~TEM ~~19-85 HEARING DATE 4 ~ PAGE .., , 1. A change of zone to C-M would permit development which is com- patible with surrounding, existing and proposed development. 2. The proposed C-M zoning is consistent with the approyed General Commercial General Plan designation. 3. The request for a change of zone wi 11 not create any si gni fi cant environmental effects giyen the mitigation measures outlined in the observations. RECOMMENDATI ON . Staff recommends adoption of the Negative Declaration and approval of Change of Zone No. 85-2 based on the observations and findings of fact contained in the Staff report.

Staff report to the Planning Commission dated January 8, 1985. regarding General Plan Amendment No. 84-4. The subject reports and correspondence are a result of a request for a General Plan Amendment No. 84~4 submitted by Harwood Investment Company on July 2, 1984. 'The subject request was to amend the City of San Bernardino General Plan from an open space land use designation to a general commercial designation in order to develop approximately 29,4 acres as a commercial- industrial complex, The Environmental Review Committee and Planning Com- mission approved the request on January 8, 1985 and adopted a Negative Declaration noting that the geologic information submitted to date does not meet the requirements of the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zones Act. '" ( aage -2- o o o ,/ ,. It was determined that a detailed geotechnical report can be prepared at a later stage of development, prior to subdivision or site plan approval. 'These items are submitted for your review as a result'of an impasse created by the difference of opinion of .the City Geologist and the other geologists involved. The City Geologist determined that the preliminary soils investigation of the property did not meet the requirements of the 'Act due to the use of drilling and seismic infraction methods and that on-site trenching should be conducted. The applicant's geologist contends that the geophysical methods utilized in the study are adequate to meet the requirements of the Act given the constraints of the property. The City of San Bernardino is now requesting that your office review the enclosed items with regard to the requirements of the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zones Act. Your prompt attention to this matter will be appreciated. Should you have any questions on this matter, please feel free to call me at (714) 383~5057. F NK A.

I Dear Mr. Schuma: I SI'n:\~it'~h;EaRt/Alfe~Dlt!lJte~r'; ~,j~IErjT 1:' \f,' ." :,:~_= :\', This is a follow-up to my letter of January 22, 1985. neglected to respond to youo"request (letter of January IS, 1985) for review """:::":':=:.:.J comments on the Ray Eastman report for the 34-acre site at Camino Real and Century Avenue in San Bernardino. I apologize for this oversight. January 30, 1985 It is not our usual practive to provide critical reviews of reports prepared under the Alquist-Priolo Act, as this is the responsibility of y.our revieu geologist. Any review on our pars therefore, should be viewed as advisory only. However, at your request, I have made a cursory revieu of the subject report, the review comments of your geologist, and other data relevant to the location of the San Jacinto (Claremont) fault. ' I generally concur with your reviewer's conclusions regarding deficiencies in the consulting report. The mcthods used by the consultant (seismic refraction, borehole correlations) are generally inconclusive for the identification and precise location of active fault traces. Trenching generally provides the best opportunity for locating and evaluating recently active faults) because it provides direct and continuous exposures. Ho~ever) the alluvium at the subject site may be too young to shou deformation or the water table may be too high in the northeastern half of the site to allow deep trenching. Nonetheless, I believe that the trenching should be attempted before it is assumed to be useless. Also, trenching provides an opportunity to demonstrate the absence of faulting in other parts of the site. It is noted that a strong tonal lineament was observed on aerial photographs in the southeastern part of the site by Kerry Sieh (1973, pl. 7a). This feature WaS not discussed and should be assessed, prcferably by trenching, as it appears to lie outside the consultants setback zone, Sieh (pg 46) noted that faulting occurred just northuest of the site in alluvium dated as being 500 + 80 years. In addition, faults werc mapped by Oscar Huber in an aqueduct exposure just northwest of the project site. These faults are shoun and references are cited on our Special Studies Zones Map. The references should be discussed in the consultant's rpport. . 'I o , '" - w o Pa02 o Enclosed for background information are three articles pertinent to the evaluation'of faults and the review procegs. Please let me know if you have further questions.
