Apparently Mr. Smith, attorney representing LandTech, did not receive notice of the previous hearing, although his client did. The oppor- tunity is now being provided for Mr. Smith to make any additional comments or objections to the evidence that he might have made at the earlier hearing. Another purpose of the hearing is to adopt the Findings of Fact and Conclu- sions of Laws in Support of denial of Exemption from School Impaction Fees.

Gary Smith, attorney representing LandTech, reviewed what was included in the Statement of Decision. He also referred to a veto of the original vote to deny the exemp- tion, and other City actions, which included a letter dated November 18, 1987 from the City Clerk, and consider- ation of this issue by the Legislative Review Committee. Mayor wilcox explained that the veto was against the appeal of the School District, and she had been advised by legal counsel that there should not be a veto of a legal opinion of counsel. Deputy City Attorney Grace reaffirmed her earlier statement that the explicit purpose of this hearing is to adopt the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and allow Mr. Smith to make any objections he wished to make in evidence that has been previously introduced into the record. Mr. stated he complete have been Gary Smith, attorney representing LandTech, felt the information being considered is not and that only a portion of Judge Krug's findings considered by the Council. Deputy City Attorney Grace answered questions regard- ing an extension of time, stating that it may be possible to obtain one, as Deputy City Attorney Wilson had planned to request an extension to prepare further documents. Mr. Gary Smith had no objection to an extension of time.

APPEAL - PLANNING COMMISSION'S DENIAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 86-61 - PERMIT SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES - OFF-SITE CONSUMPTION - SALE OF GASOLINE IN C-l NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL ZONE - FORECAST CORP. This is the time and place set to hear an appeal filed by Joe Carman, Vice President, Forecast Corporation, Owner, on the Planning Commission's denial of Conditional Use Permit No. 86-61, to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption and to permit the sale of gasoline in the C-l Neighborhood Commercial zone on property located at the southeast corner of Mill Street and Pepper Avenue. (51) Dave Anderson, Acting Planning Director, explained that at the meeting of the Planning Commission on February 3, 1987, the application for Conditional Use Permit No. 86-61 was denied based on incompatibility with the pro- posed school site. Mayor Wilcox opened the hearing. Bruce Strickland, 7365 Hellman Avenue, Rancho Cuca- monga, California 91730, representing Forecast Corpora- tion, owners of the property in question, stated they disagreed with the Planning Commission's decision that the Circle K Market would not be compatible with the proposed school site, as there is no school there at the present, and he had a petition from surrounding neighbors who wanted the market to be built there. Mr. Strickland 19 3/9/87 stated Forecast Corporation felt it location, as the area is zoned to stores. is an allow appropriate convenience Police Chief Burnett stated on February 2, 1987, he had written to the ABC protesting the location of a li- cense at that site which is within 100 feet of the pro- posed high school. He spoke of other establishments in the neighborhood which already have an ABC license. He spoke of his concern of other problems, such as loitering, the use sale of drugs and narcotics, truancy, vandalism and trash. He felt the store would present problems even without the sale of alcohol. Assistant City Attorney Sabourin answered questions regarding the ABC license. David Andrews, Superintendent of Rialto Unified School District, introduced Lois Stancel, Facilities Plan- ner. Lois Stancel stated there was no question that the school is going to be built, as the State directed its construction, because Eisenhower High School could not be enlarged to handle the growing number of students. Ms. Stancel stated the purchase of the proposed site is being negotiated and the anticipated date for occupancy of the proposed high school is 1990. Ms. Stancel answered questions, stating their main concern with the proposed Circle K Market is the sale of beer and wine, and gasoline. Mr. Andrews, Superintendent, Rialto Unified School District, answered questions, stating it is easier to prevent the problem of sales of alcohol to students, rather than trying to stop the problem after it exists. Dave Anderson, Acting Planning Director, answered questions. Sam Fellows, Counsellor at Eisenhower High School, Rialto, appealed to the Common Council to affirm the deci- sion of the Planning Commission, taking the position that the convenience market would pose an attractive nuisance. He stressed the importance of making proper decisions relating to young people, and particularly their school attendance. Doug Nye, representing Circle K International, phoenix, Arizona, explained there are several Circle K markets in San Bernardino and that most are company owned, operated and supervised. Mr. Nye stated that the company had done surveys, gotten proper planning in an area prop- erly zoned for a convenience market and felt the proposed project would be advisable. He reported that the Circle K has a scholarship program, work referrals programs for young people. Mr. Nye also stated that the tax revenue is approximately $70,000 to $80,000. Mr. Nye stated they would cooperate with the school officials in certain restrictions in and around the market that would assist in maintaining a satisfactory environ- ment. Glenn Schmesky, who lives approximately 100 yards from the proposed Circle K Market spoke in opposition to the project, as he didn't want a convenience store in the area. 20 3/9/87 John Heywood, polygraph Examiner and Investigator, spoke against the project, stating that he has seen shop- lifting of beer and cigarettes in convenience markets with nothing being done about it by the employee of the store. He also stated he felt the stores were understaffed. Mr. Nye responded by stating he would be glad to get Mr. Heywood in touch with company officials to remedy any such situation. Joyce Dean, operator of pre schools, spoke in favor of the proposed Circle K Market, as the parents of the children in her schools had indicated their appreciation of convenience markets. She stated she is considering locating another school in this area. Mr. Bruce Strickland, Forecast Corporation, stated the zone and City ordinances allowed the proposed project and it is an authorized use. He suggested a one year review period to see how the project is received. Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council Member Frazier, to close the hearing, affirm the decision of the Planning Commission to deny Conditional Use Permit No. 86-61. The Findings of Fact for denial of Conditional Use Permit No. 86-61 are as follows: 1. The proposed use conforms to the goals and objectives of the San Bernardino Gen- eral Plan. 2. The proposed use, the sale of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption, will not be compatible with the proposed use of a high school to the west across Pepper Avenue. The sale of alcoholic beverages, therefore, will adversely affect the growth and development of the area in which it is being proposed. 3. The si ze (0.63 acre) and rectangular (regular) shape of the site are adequate to allow full development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the parti- cular area, nor to the peace, health, safe- ty or general welfare of the residents of the community. 4. The traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden on the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area. Adequate parking will be provided on the site. 5. The granting of the conditional use permit, to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption, will be detrimental to the peace, health, safety or general welfare of the citizens of San Bernardino. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members Estrada, Flores, Maudsley, Frazier. Noes: Council Members Reilly, Quiel, Strickler. Absent: None. HIGHLAND AREA PLAN - REQUEST TO PROCEED WITH PROCESSING In a memorandum dated February 25, 1987, David Ander- son, Acting Planning Director, stated that the Planning Commission had directed the Planning Department staff to 21 3/9/87 submit a request to the Mayor and Council that they recon- sider their decision to table the Highland Area Plan and allow the Planning Commission to hold the public hearing on March 17, 1987, and proceed with the processing of the Area Plan (for ultimate placement on the Mayor and Council agenda). (52) Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council Member Strickler and unanimously carried, to re- consider the action taken by the Common Council at their meeting of February 16, 1987, which was as follows: "That the Planning Department be directed to set aside the High- land Area Plan until the revisions are made to the General Plan and the City catches up with the Highland Area Plan." COUNCIL MEMBER FRAZIER EXCUSED Council Member Frazier left the Council Meeting. The Council discussed the misunderstanding that had arisen concerning the decision made at the meeting of February 16, 1987, as the intent was not to table the Highland Area General Plan, but only to postpone action until the City-Wide General Plan could "catch up". Dave Anderson, Acting Planning Director, explained the staff's recommendation. Margaret C. Wright, Chairman of the Highland Area Citizens Advisory Committee, made several suggestions for future meetings of the Advisory Committee: 1. That the Council communicate its goals to the Committee, and have a person in contact with the Committee; 2. The Committee should elect a chairman as soon as possible, and have a secretary to take minutes, to be given to members prior to each meeting; 3. Meeting times and dates should be kept; and if changed, provide proper notice to members; 4. The Council should urge accuracy at all times. Ms. Wright stated a letter had been written and signed by members of the Committee, to point out errors made by the Planning Department, and requested that this letter be incorporated into the East Valley Plan text. Ms. Wr ight also urged accuracy in the mapping process, to be realistic in proposed land use and zone changes, encourage business people, as they support the City through taxes, and notify property owners of any land use changes that affects their property through individual mailings. John Lightburn, Planning Commissioner, expressed his appreciation for the clarification of the Council's inten- tion regarding the Highland Area Plan. Mr. Lightburn recommended that a workshop be scheduled between the Planning Commission and the Mayor and Council with suf- ficient time to discuss all the issues. He also spoke of the importance of hiring a new Planning Director to be involved in the planning phases of the General Plan up- date. Mr. Lightburn suggested an interim development process to use during the time the General Plan is being finalized. 22 3/9/87 Roy Nierman, Planning Commissioner, explained the misunderstanding by the Planning Commission of the action taken by the Common Council on February 16, 1987 regarding the delay in going forward with the Highland Area Plan. He spoke about the long time period before the Highland Area Plan or General Plan update will be implemented, in which many new developments will occur in the foothills. He urged an interim plan to control the growth. He proposed several alternatives: 1. Proceed with the Highland Area Plan even though it means pushing back the General Plan; 2. Give staff time to assess the impact of multi- family units in the foothills, with a possible hold on these types of units; 3. Ignore the Highland Plan and temporary hold on Multi-Family units in the foothills and proceed with the General Plan. Jody Scott, a member of the Advisory Committee, ex- pressed concern over planning problems in the the entire area, not just the foothills, such as random planning, high density bonus, and traffic congestion. She also suggested more accuracy in the maps. Dave Anderson, Acting Planning Director, spoke of the necessity of an environmental evaluation before the full plan can be adopted. It was the consensus of the Council that the Mayor will choose a date and time for a workshop and notify all interested parties. City Administrator regarding the recruitment which is in progress now. Schweitzer answered questions of the new Planning Director, Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council Member Reilly, to reaffirm the Council action taken on February 16, 1987, in which it was voted unani- mously that the Planning Department be directed to set aside the Highland Area Plan until the revisions are made to the General Plan and the City catches up with the High- land Area Plan.
