San Bernardino, CA 714-885-2414 I 714-825-1670 I 714-889-4820 o c May 15, 1985 CITY COUNCIL CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO Dear Sirsl Conditions are unsafe at the new commercial development west of the San Bernardino Golf Club. Planning commission report MS 498 directs that building design sh~11 consider the potential problems inherent in building beside a golf course. These buildings were constructed in complete disregard of this. Fencing and walling are severly deficient and add to the danger. No consideration was given to the juxtaposition of the buildings and golf course function; as required in MS498 and repeated in MS600. These buildings degrade, rather than enhance the development of the City of San Bernardino. The buildings completely violate the clear intentions of MS 498 and threaten the function (and perhaps the existence) of the San Bernardino Golf Club. The course has been severly compromised by this negligent development. The course is an important public recreational facility and is critical to the park like atmosphere of this large, commercially developing area. The presence of the course enables the near by properties to be considered(park - golQproperties rather than sewer plant properties. All the adjoining real estate is more valuable because of the presence of the golf course as a park and sewer plant buffer zone. It is essential that the use and on going construction of these commercial buildings be halted until they are in compliance with the intent and spirit of MS 498 and MS 600. The very existence of The San Bernardino Public Golf Course may depend on it. Respectfully Submitted, ~Ol'IG~- Jon Grossman . Manager/Owner S.B.G.C. JO.

Notification of Public Hearin~: 500' property rn~ner notifi- cation given by llIa.il on April 18, 1979 and notice of public hearing given in Sun-Telegram.on April 20, 1979. Staff Analysis: It is proposed to divide one 24 acre parcel into 33 parcels of varying sizes, to develop" a business center" for . commercial and light industrial purposes. Seven of the parcels are shown to be future development, inclUding the lots fronting on South "E" Street. Access to the site is proposed from "E" Street at the southern portion of the subject property. Internally, a "loop" pattern is proposed to serve the development with a cul-de-sac provided to serve the northerly parcels and provide turnaround capabilities. A 20' easement is shown from the terminatiDn of the cul-de-sac to "E" Street on the north side of the existing car dealership. This . access road \~ill be used during elllergency periods only, and it is provided for use by the City Fire Department. A traffic study has been prepared for the proposed ~evelopment which indicates a need for traffic si9nalLation on "E" Street and the prima~ access point to the site. Installation of the signal will be as required by the City Engineer. Staff would recommend the cost of the signal be borne by the developer. A Ci ty of Ri versi de \~ater 1 ine traverses the subject property from proposed parcels 8 to 33. The line will be relocated to .align with property lines and run under the proposed street pattern so that future conflicts will be avoided. Relocation shall be required by the City Engineer and shall also nEet the approval of the City of Riverside. COffiOEnts received from the City of San Bernardino Water Dept. indicates that \~hile water is available to serve the site. an () Plan. Dept. Rpt. Fmt.O MS '498 P.3 o o 5/1 /79 internal "loop" system must be provided to afford the development better circulation and fire protection. Costs for said system is to be as requi red by the Ci ty \~ater Department. . Twenty-six of the parcels are shown for immediate development. Parcels 6, 78, 22, and 23 are proposed to be developed with 2~story ; wood frame and stucco commercial and/or office buildings. ! It is t assumed these buildings are placed to take adyantage of the view . offered by the municipal golf course located to the east. .. '. Design of these structures and landscaping along the east property ','11ne shall consider the potential problems inherent in building ,beside a golf coursel Parcels one through five are proposed to have small (less than 5,000 square feet) concrete block buildings constructed on them; Parcels 9 thru 21 and 24 through 26 are to be concrete block buildings as well. Architectural treatment of the proposed structures is not. known at this time. Staff would recolrmend that a themed approach be used in architecture, land- scaping and signage. Given the freeway exposure afforded this site this themed approach is recommended so that a positive image of the City and it's new development is provided to those utilizing the freeways. Thus, as a condition of approval, staff is recommending the Planning Cmmnission review the site, eleva- .. tion and landscape plans to insure this development occurs in a manner ~Ihich compliments not only the "E" Street corridor but the entire city as well. Findings of Fact: 1. All lots created conform to the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance and land Use Ordinance as they relate to developments in a C-~I zone. No maximum requirements exist in the C-~1 zone. 2. Size and location of all proposed parcels meet the approval of the Planning Department. 3. All lots created will abut a dedicated street upon full improve- ments of the streets in the subdivision. . 4, The proposed diyision of land complies with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and City Subdivision Ordinance. Dual access is provided the site and existing easements on the property are to be relocated to. the satisfaction of all concerned agencies. fReCommendation: .

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: . The San Bernardino City Environmental Review Committee found the proposed project to be exempt from tbe requirements of CEQA pursuant to previous environmental review. NOTIFICATION OF PUBLIC HEARING: Notices of public bearing were mailed to property owners witbin 500 feet of tbe subject site on September 11. 1980 and notice appeared in tbe Sun Telegram on September 6, 1980. . STAFF ANALYSIS: The applicants are proposing to create 6 new lots encompassing a total of 12.9 acres from 20 existing lots that were created as a portion of lUnor Subdivision No. 498. approved by tbe Mayor and Common Council in May, 1979. The subject site is located on the east side of "E" Street, south of Century Avenue, north of the Santa Ana River and west of tbe San Bernardino Public Golf Course in the C-M Commercial-Manufacturing zoning district. The subject site is currently vacant and unimprovel!. " Under Mino.r Subdivision No. 498. a total of 33 lot encompassing 23.9 acres was created for tbe purposes of establisbing a new commercial-off ice-industrial com- plex conanonly re~erred to as "Inland Business Center." As apart of that sub- division, two new streets were created. MacKay Drive extending easterly from "E" Street for approximately 600 feet across tbe soutberly portion of. the site, and "D" Street, extending nortberly from MacKay Drive approximately 1,000 feet and ending in a cul-de-sac. A 20 foot eao;ement is provided from the terminus of the cul-de-sac to "E" Street on tbe north side of tbe Paul Reed Buick dealership. This access road will be used during emergency periods only, and it is provided for use by the Fire Department. A third approved street, Stoddard Court, a loop street extending westerly from "D" Street, is proposed to be vacated under the proposed minor subdivision. . -- ~ . , .. -~~- September 23, 1980 ( \ -. . 0 Page -3- o o o The area being considered under the proposed minor subdivision encompasses approx- imately half the area of the previous subdivision and includes the area north of proposed MacKay Drive and west of "D" Street. This reparceling of the subject area is being sought since the firm that originally intended on developing the site has absndoned its plans and the owners are wishing to create lots which will accommodate a new plan of development. The areas of the proposed parcels are as follows: Parcel #1 Parcel #2 Parcel #3 Parcel #4 Ii Parcel #5 Parceltl6 4.98 acres. 6.44 acres 0.45 acres 0.38 acres 0.35 acres 0.32 scres Parcel '1 will occupy the northerly portion of the site and have frontage onto both "E" and "D" Streets. A sinsle, unnamed tenant is being. sought to occupy. the parcel. Parcel '3 through #6 will occupy t.he majorit;Y of the remaining "D" Street frontage, and are proposed to be occupied by office buildings. Parcel #2 will occupy the remainder of the site and will have frontage onto "E" Street and MacKay Drive with a 20 foot wide access corridor to "D" Street. This parcel \dll likely be further subdivided in the future. In the staff analysis for the previous minor subdivision, it was stated that '~iven the freeway exposure afforded this site, a themed approach is recommended to be used in archite.cture, landscaping and signage so that a positive image of the city and its new developments is provided to those. utilizing the freeways. Thus, as a con- dition of approval, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission revi~,.the site, elevation and landscape plans to insure this development .occurs in a manner which complements not only the "E" Street corridor; but the entire city as well. Since the same circumstances are still applicable, staff will recommend that the new site plans for development within the subject site also be reviewed and approved by the Commission. FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. All lots created conform to the requirements of the subdivision ordinance and land use ordinance as they relate to developments in a C-M zone. No maximum requirements exist in the C~ zone. . , 2. . Size and location of all proposed parcels meet the approval of the Planning Department. 3.
