STAFF REPORT
--
On October 7, 1985, the Commission/Council approved several resolutions relating to
local incentives provided within the boundaries of the Enterprise Zone. Those
resolutions included the allocation of a portion of housing, beautification, and job
linkage funds to the Enterprise Zone, the designation of the Deputy City Administrator
as the coordinator of City departments' activities in the Enterprise Zone, and the
authorization for Agency Staff to develop a plan for a data base of information on the
Enterprise Zone and an incubator project.
Resolution "A" (attached), though voted on at the October 7 meeting, because of the
absent council members, did not receive enough votes to pass. It is, therefore,
resubmitted for approval.
In addition, the Council continued action on an Ordinance which would have amended
Title 19 of the Municipal Code to provide for "mixed use" developments in the Zone.
After conferring with City Planning Department and the State Office of Planning and
Research, staff has determined that the attached Resolution "CO will replace the
ordinance.
,-
~
Resolution "B" instructs the Planning Department to develop a new code designation
known as "Mixed Residential Commercial (MRC)" and to provide for a relief of parking
requirements within the Zone. This action is necessary to prevent any violation of
CEQA requirements. By adopting the ordinance without following the CEQA guidelines,
the City opens itself to possible litigation. It is the opinion of the Office of
Planning and Research (OPR) that this possibility of litigation would seriously impair
our application. OPR also felt that this Resolution would be as strong a commitment
as the Ordinance.
.
Also at that meeting, the Commission continued an item relating to the establishment
of a "Zone Management Office". Resolution "C" (attached) authorizes the Executive
Director to assign certain staff members to the "Zone Management Office".
Resolution "D" directs staff, in conjunction with EDC and the Chamber of Commerce, to
develop a marketing strategy which would determine which industries are best suited to
the Enterprise Zone, how best to attract those industries, and which specific
companies the Agency should target. Staff would also develop a detailed marketing
strategy.
Resolution "E" directs staff, in conjunction with EDC and the Chamber of Commerce, to
develop a technical assistance program for those local companies which export products
out of the country. It would also assist local companies in learning how to export,
and provide an incentive to new companies moving to the area in need of expanding
their export programs.
Resolutions "C", "D", and "E" will be provided at Monday's meeting.

13 in order to develop and implement a marketing strategy to
14 determine which industries are best suited to the Enterprise
15 Zone, how best to attract those industries, and which specific
16 companies should be approached concerning the possibility of

18 Such cooperation will also be needed to implement such strategy,

20 promotion and marketing of the Enterprise Zone of the City of San
21 Bernardino to maximize the benefits to the community.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
To provide evidence that the City is actually implementing
various of the incentives for which the City has committed itself
in the Enterprise Zone preliminary application, Agency staff and
Agency counsel have developed a series of resolutions and one
proposed ordinance to cover most of the incentives for which the
City has committed itself.
The City committed itself to provide a data base of available
1 and , and to work with the community college and university to
provide technical training programs. By a resolution directing
Agency staff to negotiate with two groups at the university and
an institute at Valley College for a needs assessment study
relating to data base and technical training programs, the City
will provide sufficient evidence to forward with the final
Enterprise Zone application that the City is proceeding with
those two incentives.
The City has committed itself to creation of an incubator project
for new commercial and industrial businesses within the
Enterprise Zone. By a resolution directing Agency staff to
negotiate with the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce and
the Economic Development Council to develop such a project, the
City evidences that it is going ahead with that pIan in an
orderly manner, and we are assured by the consultants that this
evidence should be sufficient as to this particular incentive.
The City has committed itself to beautification and the job
linkage program, and is now requested to commit itself to
specific dol1ar amounts. It is our understanding that the Ways &
Means Committee specified that for beautification, at least 251
of the $50,000 targeted for beautification for the current year
wil1 be earmarked for the Enterprise Zone, and that this same
amount and percentage will continue, and be reviewed and
reinstated at least every five years during the life of the
Enterprise Zone. For the job linkage program, we understand that
the Ways and Means Committee specified that 501 of the $100,000
presently targeted for the job linkage program would be earmarked
for the Enterprise Zone, with the commitment for a similar amount
through the first five years, with periodic review and
reinstatement each five years. A resolution designating those
portions of the beautification fund and job linkage funds for the
current year, and committing the City to those percentages and
dollar amounts for the future, has been prepared to evidence the
City's commitment and implementation of those particular programs
for Enterprise Zone incentives.
The City's preliminary application also committed the City to an
infill housing program, housing rehabilitation program,
demolition program. and housing development financing as
incentives within the Enterprise Zone. Each of these four
incentive items are covered within the one resolution approving
the infill housing program, al10cating housing, rehabilitation
and demolition funds, and directing the targeting of housing
.
. - ~
-
r
~~
/
.~ development financing efforts toward improvements within the
Enterprise Zone. Under this resolution, the City approves the
infill housing program, targets the area bounded by Fifth Street,
1-215, Ht. Vernon Avenue, and 9th Street as the initial targeted
area for the infill program, and directs development and
implementation of a comprehensive housing infill program along
the lines of the concept paper previously approved by the Hayor
and Common Council. The resolution also directs that staff
negotiate with one or more contractors to develop such a housing
program, and to establish and promote an infill housing program
available for public use not necessarily depending upon use of
any particular contractor. The City commits itself to use not
less than $2,000,000 of the $36,000,000 available for financing
single-family homes under the single-family mortgage revenue bond
issue presently being floated by the City of San Bernardino. The
resolution also directs that Agency staff prepare the housing
program in final form for subsequent adoption, and acknowledges
that after the initial $2,000,000 of single-family mortgage
revenue bond proceeds have been utilized for infill housing
within the Enterprise Zone, the Hayor and Common Council will
expand the program to include other areas of the City but keep a
special emphasis upon the Enterprise Zone. (The infill housing
and rehabilitation programs are also included in the fee
exemption provisions of the ordinance, as discussed below).
The same resolution designates not less than 351 of the housing
rehabilitation funds designated in the Community Development
block grant program for use within the Enterprise Zone, which is
$350,000 of the $1,000,000 al1ocation. The City under the
resolution commits itself for future years that not less than 351
of the funds earmarked for housing rehab within the City will be
designated for use within the Enterprise Zone with the amount to
be reviewed and reinstituted at least every five years. This,
we understand, was recommended by the Ways & Heans Committee.
Similarly, in accordance with the recommendation of the Ways &
Heans Committee, 351 of the $50,000 targeted fordemolition under
the CDBG program wil1 be used within the Enterprise Zone, and the
City will commit itself that not less than 351 of each year's
future al10cation of CDBG funds for demolition will likewise be
earmarked for the Enterprise Zone, subject to review after five
years. The resolution also acknowledges that $50,000 of the CDBG
funds set aside for housing in-fill could be available to assist
with the demolition project.
The resolution goes on to acknowledge that financing of both
single-family and multi-family housing within the Enterprise Zone
is a matter of great concern to the City, and directs that Agency
staff and City employees give high priority to funding such
developments. We believe this resolution will constitute
sufficient City action to evidence the City's implementation of
these four incentives.
Another incentive referred to in the preliminary application
was a streamlining program for processing of development plans.
Two resolutions have been prepared to establish evidence that the
City has already implemented that part of the incentive program.
The first is a resolution of the Community Development Commission
?
~
\. '
.
. -- -
-
~
"
"-
.I
establishing a zone management office within the Redevelopment
Agency, directing appointment of certain staff members to become
fully familiar with all aspects of project development and the
City structure, and designating that those employees will be
charged with implementing a so-cal1ed "one-stop processing" of
development plans. This commission resolution also mentions that
the zone management office will work closely with the Deputy City
Administrator to remove any and all roadblocks standing in the
way of prompt processing of development plans. Tied in with that
is a City resolution designating the Deputy City Administrator as
the person responsible for assuring full cooperation by City
staff with the zone management office, and directing cooperation
of al1 affected City employees. These two resolutions, together,
should provide adequate evidence that the City means business
about a one-stop process, and meets the obligation of the City
for that particular incentive.
The Capital Improvement incentive is addressed in a resolution by
which the City commits itself to appropriate at least one million
dollars annually to street improvements. This is not expressly
targeted for the Enterprise Zone; if that is Council's intent, we
should revise the resolution to so specify.
Central to all of this, and probably the most controversial, is
an ordinance implementing the tax rebate and fee
exemption provisions specified in the preliminary application,
and confirmed by the Ways & Heans Committee. Fee exemption is
granted for in-fill housing and housing rehabilitation, under
this proposed ordinance, but storm drain fees and sewer capacity
charges are not exempted. The proposed ordinance also includes
what could be a very controversial provision for allowing some
specific residential uses within commercial zones. This is
particularly important along the Ht. Vernon corridor, because of
the seeming conflict between existing zoning and provisions of
the general plan and the redevelopment pIan. As drafted, this
ordinance permits limited "mixed uses", in the form of planned
residential developments, under careful development standards,
within specified commercial zones in the Enterprise Zone. This
mixed use concept, we are advised by the consultants, is very
important to showing intent to encourage development. Gary Van
Osdel advises us that this manner of dealing with the problem
will help immeasurably in advancing the City's application
through the final review process. Such a "mixed use" poI icy has
been used with great success in a number of municipalities. It
may be worthy of note that this mixed used concept could also
help on the "retail food market" incentive, since at least one
developer (Spirit) would find its proposed development
considerably easier with this change in effect.
Also included within the same ordinance is a method of addressing
the obligation undertaken to grant parking relief and relief from
setback requirements. The parking relief is in the form of
providing that where existing uses on neighboring land fal1
substantially below meeting current parking requirements, the
same percentage by which the existing uses meet such parking
3
..
. -
..
,....'
....'
,.;
-
requirements shal1 apply to establish the parking requirements
for new uses. The setback requirements within the Enterprise
Zone will be, under the proposed ordinance, consistent with the
setback of other property in the same block. Each of these
proposed code changes for the Enterprise Zone will eliminate the
objection of the state reviewers to having parking relief and
setback requirement relief based on a case by case basis. Our
consultants advise that a case by case resolution is not
satisfactory, and that we are obligated to set forth specific
standards. We believe that the proposed ordinance does that.
The proposal for mixed use which will permit the combining of
residential and commercial uses within the same area, and the
modification of setback requirements and parking requirements
have not been coordinated with the Planning Department.
The City Attorney's office recommends that the ordinance
receive its first reading and then be referred to the Planning
Department and any appropriate committees for further review but
that it still be scheduled for final reading at the earliest
possible time, if the provisions of the ordinance are consistent
with the Council's desires and intentions. If at all possible,
it should be implemented at the October 21 meeting, but if
revisions are necessary, the revised ordinance could receive
first reading then and final reading on November 4.

contractors to develop such infill housing, and to establish and
promote an infill housing program available for public use not
dependent upon use of any particular contractor. The program to

the $36 million available for financing single-family homes under
the single-family mortgage revenue bond issue presently being
