BACKGROUND:
The appellants are appealing the Planning Commission's denial of Tentative Tract (TT) Map No.
16533 and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 03-28. TT Map No. 16533 is a request to
subdivide approximately 37.2 acres ofland into 48 single-family residential properties with a
minimum lot size of 10,800 square feet (as per RL, Residential Low land use district standards),
and three lettered remainder parcels. CUP No. 03-28 is required because half of the property is
in the Hillside Managemen.t Overlay District (HMOD), however the applicant is not requesting
any special provisions of the HMOD such as density transfer and the area being subdivided for
single-family homes is not part of the HMOD. The project includes a portion of the Verdemont
Trails system along the northern boundary of the proposed subdivision area. The site is located
at the northwest of the intersection of Magnolia Avenue and Perrin Drive in the RL, Residential
Low land use district (Exhibit 1).
At their meeting of February 8, 2005, after considerable discussion, the Planning Commission
voted 6 to 0 (with Commissioner Enciso absent) to continue TT Map No. 16533 (SUB No. 03-
21) & CUP No. 03-28 to February 23, 2005, to allow sufficient time for staff to bring amended
Findings of Fact for denial to the Planning Commission. Commissioners Brown, Coute, Durr,
Heasley, Morris, and Sauerbrun voted in favor of the denial. Planning staff determined that all
Findings of Fact could be made to support approval of the Tentative Tract Map and Conditional
Use Permit (Exhibit 2).
On February 23, 2005, staff brought back the amended Findings of Fact and the Planning
Commission voted 6 to 0 to deny the proposal. Commissioners Brown, Enciso, Durr, Heasley,
Morris, and Sauerbrun voted in favor of the denial. Commissioner Coute was absent. Please
refer to the Planning Commission Staff Report for additional discussion (Exhibit 3).
On March 4, 2005, Planning staff received the appeal application (Appeal No. 05-04). The
appellants' grounds for the appeal are that although the Planning division staff found the project
to be consistent with the Hillside Management Overlay District as well as the General Plan and
Development Code, the Planning Commission did not agree and denied the project. The
appellant feels that the initial recommendation from staff is correct and that the Mayor and
Common Council should approve the project based upon the original findings of fact as outlined
in the staff report dated February 8, 2005 (Exhibit 4).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None. The appellants submitted appeal fees.
RECOMMENDATION
That the hearing be closed and that the Mayor and Common Council either:
I) Deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission denial of Tentative Tract Map No.
16533 and Conditional Use Permit No. 03-28 based upon the Findings of Fact contained in
the February 17, 2005 Memorandum to the Planning Commission; or,
2) Uphold the appeal and approve Tentative Tract Map No. 16533 and Conditional Use Permit
No. 03-28 based upon the Findings of Fact contained in the original staff report (dated
February 8, 2005), subject to the Conditions of Approval and Standard Requirements.

REQUEST AND LOCATION
The applicant requests approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 16533 under the authority
of Development Code ~ 19.66.070 to subdivide approximately 37.2 acres into 48 single-
family residential parcels with a minimum lot size of 10,852 square feet, and two
lettered lots. The proposed residential lots are clustered to avoid disturbance of steep
hillsides, in accordance with the policies of the Hillside Management Overlay District.
Lot" A" is a 7,460 square foot lot proposed for dedication to the Water Department for a
pump house. Lot "B" is approximately 20 acres, and includes a fuel modification area
and a portion of the Verdemont Trail system adjacent to the northern boundary of the
residential development. The remainder of Lot "B" is proposed to remain as natural
open space. The subject property is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of
Magnolia Ave. and Perrin Drive in the RL, Residential Low land llse district
(Attachments A & B).
SETTING/SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The site is bounded on the south by vacant land in the RL, Residential Low land use
district approved for subdivision as Tentative Tract Map Numbers 16502 and 14604. On
the east of the site is vacant land in the RL, Residential Low land use district. On the
west the site is vacant land in the RL, Residential Low land use district. To the north
the site is bounded by vacant land in the julisdiction of San Bernardino County and the
San Bernardino National Forest.
The site is located in the High Wind Overlay District, Foothill Fire Zone A/B, Hillside
Management Overlay District, and the Biological Resources Management Overlay
District. The northern portion of the site is included in an earthquake fault zone.
Standarq Requirements from Building Plan Check and the Municipal Code address the
potential impacts of the High Wind Overlay District as well as the FoothilLFire Zone.
No development is proposed within the earthquake fault zone, which covers
approximately 80% of the open space lot "B". The Mitigated Negative Declaration
addresses the potential biological impacts.
BACKGROUND
The project was submitted on October 22, 2003. The Development/Environmental
Review Committee first reviewed the project on January 15, 2004, where comments and
corrections wer~ issued and the project was continued indefinitely in order to allow the
applicant to. complete the required corrections. This project was advertised for a public
hearing on January 18th, but the Planning Commission did not meet due to a lack of a
Tentative Tract Map No. 16533 & Conditional Use Permit No. 03-28
Hearing Date 02/08105
Page 3
quorum. Just prior to when the meeting would have been held, the Director identified
concerns with the map as proposed. Staff met with the applicant to discuss these
concerns and the tract map was modified.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL OUALlTY ACT (CEQA) STATUS
An outside consultant prepared the Initial Study and mitigation measures were
identified. The Initial Study was released for public review and comment from
September 2, 2004 to October 14, 2004. No comments were received during this period.
A Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program has been included through the
Conditions of Approval. The Planning Commission needs to independently review,
analyze, and exercise judgement in reviewing the Initial Study in making its
determination.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS FOR THE TENT A TIVE TRACT MAP
1. Is the proposed map consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code?
Yes, the proposed subdivision map is consistent with the General Plan and
Development Code. The parcels created will meet minimum development
criteria as shown below:

Access parking, utilities, direct access to a N/A
drainage, sewer, and public street.
water.
2. Is the design of the proposed subdivision consistent with the General Plan?
Yes, the proposed design and improvements are consistent with General Plan
Objective 1.8, which states that it is the objective of the City to:
"Provide lands to accommodate housing units which meet the diverse
economic and social needs of the residents; locating development to
a) retain the scale and character of existing residential neighborhoods;
b) facilitate the upgrade and intensification of declining mixed-density
residential neighborhoods; and
c) allow expansion into vacant and low-intensity use lands within
infrastructure and environmental constraints."
The proposed project will create 48 neW single-family residential properties
. adjoining a previously approved residential neighborhood. The design and
layout of these new lots is consistent with the adjacent single family residential
lots in the area (or will be after implementation of the Conditions of Approval),
as well as the approved subdivisions adjacent to the project. The proposed map
and expected future development will retain the scale and character of the
existing residential neighborhood. The future development of the site with
single-family residential homes will be compatible with the residentiill character
of the development in the surrounding area, as well as the general plan.
3. Is the site physically suitable for the type of proposed development?
Yes, the 37.2-acre site is physically suitable for the proposed residential
development. The tentative tract map conforms to the subdivision design
standards specified by the Development Code in that it will meet the minimum
lot size for the RL, Residential Low land use district after implementation of the
Conditions of Approval. All of the proposed lots contain sufficient buildable
area and will have direct access to a dedicated roadway. Connecting to the
Tentative Tract Map No. 16533 & Conditional Use Pennit No. 03-28
Hearing Date 02/08/05
Page 5
existing infrastructure will provide water, sewer, power, gas, telephone, and
cable to the site.
4. Is the site physically suitable for the proposed density of development?
Yes, the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development in
that the division of land is consistent with the Subdivision Map Act and the
proposed lots will be compatible in design with the current Development Code
and the surrounding residential lots. The proposed density of the project is 1.29
units per gross acre, under the allowed 3.1 units per gross acre in the RL land use
district.
5. Is the design of the subdivision likely to cause substantial environmental damage,
or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat?
No, Planning staff conducted a preliminary review (pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines) to determine the presence and extent of any environmental issues
that could result from the subdivision. This project would be subject to
mitigation measures in the Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program as
previously addressed. The modifications to the map do not affect or change any
of the conclusions in the Initial Study.
6. Is the design of the subdivision likely to cause serious public health problems?
No, the lots being created each have access to an existing or proposed dedicated
street. The design of the proposed subdivision meets all of the applicable
requirements for the RL, Residential Low land use district and is unlikely to
result in any public health problems.
7. Will the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements conflict withRny
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property
within the proposed subdivision?
No, the easements identified in the Preliminary Title Report relate to utilities.
The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements will not conflict
with these easements, because any existing easements would be maintained,
abandoned or relocated by the Public Works/Engineering Division through
processing of the Final Map.

FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
1. Is the proposed use conditionally permitted within the subject land use district,
would it impair the integrity and character of the subject land use district, and
does it comply with all of the applicable provisions of this Development Code?
Yes, pursuant to Development Code Section 19.17.050, any development in the
Hillside Management Overlay District (HMOD) is permitted subject to the
approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed project will comply with all
applicable provisions of the Development Code as shown in Conformance Table
" A" in Tentative Tract Map Finding No.1, as addressed above.
2. Is the proposed use consistent with the General Plan?
Yes, as described in the Tentative Tract Map Finding No.2 (above), this
proposed project is consistent with and would implement the objectives and
policies of the General Plan.
3. Is the approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed use in compliance
with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and Section
19.20.030(6) of the Development Code?
--
. Yes, the approval of the Conditional Use Permit is in compliance with the
requirements of both CEQA and Development Code Section 19.20.030(6) in as
much as the proposed project is subject to implementation and monitoring of the
mitigation measures in the Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program, as
previously addressed.
4. Are there potentially significant negative impacts upon environmental quality
and natural resources thilt could not be properly mitigated and monitored?
No, as noted in Finding No.3, this project complies with CEQA and
Development Code requirements.
5. Are the location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use
compatible with the existing and future land uses within the general area in
which the proposed use is to be located and will it create significant noise, traffic
or other conditions or situations that may be objectionable or detrimental to other
permitted uses in the 'lIicinity or adverse to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare of the City?

General Plan Designation: The project site (Figure 2) is designated RL (Residential Low) in the City of
San Bernardino (City) General Plan. Uses permitted in the RL designation include the development of low-
density, large lot, single-family housing with a-minimum average size lot of 10,800 square feet at a
maJ{imum density of 3.1 units per gross acre. The_ project site is also located within the City's Hillside
Management Overlay District (HMOD).
Description of Project (Describe the whole action involved, including, but not Umlted to, later phases
of the project and any secondary, support, or off-site feature necessary for its implementation. Attach
additional sheets, if necessary): The proposed project will result in the development of a 54-lot single-
family residential development located northwest of the intersection of Magnolia A venue and Perrin
Avenue (future Verdemont Drive). The 37.2-acre project site is planned for the deve!opment of up to 52
single-family residential units.. Associated site improvements include paved I'O!Idways and driveways,
sidewalks, landscaped areas, a recreational trail, and underground pump station. As required by the City, the
project incorporates a Fuel Modification Area (Figure 3),
Lots I-52 of IT 16533, ranging in size from 10,800 square feet to 17,883 square feet, will be developed
with single-family residential units. An underground water pump, located on Lot A at the extreme
southwestern comer of the site, will be landscaped. The northern portion of the site (Lot B), covering an
area of approximately 20 acres, will be retained as natural open space, in accordance with the slope density
analysis and site development plan of CUP No. 03-28. Water service to the project site will be delivered via
an eight-inch waterline that will connect to lines existing in the future Perrin Drive. Sewer flows will be
conveyed via an eight-inch sewer line to either sewer mains to be constrUcted within Tentative Tract 16502
(located to the south) or to sewer lines located in Magnolia A venue. Sheet flow from the northern portions
of the site will be intercepted by a concrete V -ditch located along the northern limits of development and
conveyed through a 20-foot drainage easement to local streets, then contained with curbs and gutters to
catch basins located at the southern edge of the project site.

INITIAL STUDY
Off-site flows from the east will be intercepted by a 24-inch storm drain within Street "B." All drainage
flows will ultimately be conveyed to the proposed storm drain to be constructed in Tentative Tract 16502 to
the south. Retaining walls will be constructed along ponions of the western and eastern boundaries of the
project site.
Direct access to the site will be provided from Perrin Drive (future Verdemont Drive), which will be
designated as a Local Street. Access to this roadway and the proposed development will be from Magnolia
Avenue and a future unnamed street planned within Tract 16502. Standard requirements of the City Fire
Depanment will prohibit development of the project site until such time as a second route of dedicated, all-
weather access (unnamed street in Tract 16502 or a suitable alternative) has been constructed. Emergency
access to nonhern ponions of the project site will be provided via an open cul-de-sac at the end of Street
"A:~
8. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The project site is currently vacant. Elevations on-site range from
2,410 feet above mean sea level (amsl) at the site's nonheast comer to 2,010 feet amsl at the southwestern
comer. The nonhern ponion of the site contains moderately steep slopes located at the base of the San
Bernardino Mountains. The project site is located within the City's HMOD. The southern ponion of the
project site slopes gently to the southwest. Ponions of the Alquist-Priolo Eanhquake Fault Zone established
for the San Andreas Fault are located on-site. While once used for agricultural operations, the site is not
currently used for such purposes. The southern ponion of the project site has been extensively disced.
ponions of the project site burned during the October 2003 "Old Fire."
Adjacent land uses (Table A) include undeveloped residentially wned propeny (RL; Residential Low) to
the east and west; an existing water tank (owned and maintained by the San Bernardino Municipal Water
District) to the west; two existing single-family-residentiaJ dwellings to the south; an approved single-
family residential development (Tentative Tract 16592) to the southwest; and the SBNF to the nonh_

ENVlRONMENT AL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at
least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following
pages.
0 Aesthetics 0 Agriculture Resources ~ Air Quality
~ Biological Resources ~ Cultural Resources ~ Geology I Soils
~ Hazards & Hazardous ~ Hydrology I Water Quality 0 Land Use I Planning
Materials ~ Noise 0 Population I Housing
0 Mineral Resources 0 Recreation 0 Transportation I Traffic
~ Public Services 0 Mandatory Findings of
0 Utilities I Service Systems Significance
On the basis of this Initial Study, the City of San Bernardino Environmental Review Committee finds:
o I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
~ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or
agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared. -_
o I find that the proposed project MAY have-a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
o I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially
significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been
adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been
addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that
remain to be addressed.
o I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or
NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or
mitigated pursuant to that EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

The proposed project will result in the development of 52 single-family dwellings. The proposed on-site
uses are consistent with existing, approved, and planned development within the project area.
Development of the proposed uses will occur on the gently sloping, southern portion of the site. The
northern 19.98 acres of the project site will be retained as natural open space, thereby preserving its
existing scenic quality as seen from the south. Because no residential structures are located north, east, or
west of the project site, the development of the proposed project will not block any established views
from these areas. Because no .view to or from the project site will be significantlY altered by proposed
development, impacts associated with this issue are less than significant.
I.a
The project site is currently vacant. While up to six mature trees will be removed to accommodate the
proposed dwelling units, these trees have not been identified as a significant scenic resource. No structure
is located on-site, nor is the site located along a State scenic highway. Due to the absence of on-site scenic
resources, no impact related to this issue wlll occur.
I.b
While single-family dwellings will be constructed on the southern portion ofthe site; no !levelopment will
take place on higher elevations within the northern portions of the site. The proposed type and scale of
uses are comparable to existing, approved, or planned development located within the project area. The
proposed water pump station will be located underground on Lot A (approximately 7,500 square feet).
Only the access ports to this equipment will be visible aboveground. Lot A will be landscaped to match
the character of the proposed development. The proposed project will be required to comply with alI City
development and design standards applicable to new residential development; therefore, impacts related
to this issue are less than significant.

I.d The project site located in an area designated ("RL") for residential uses, Development of the proposed
project will result. through the installation of streetlights and residential lighting. in an incremental
increase in the amount of light and glare within the site and adjacent areas, The City's Development
Code' includes provisions to reduce the impact of on-site light sources. Adherence to City standards will
reduce impacts associated with this issue to a less than significant level.

Agriculture Discussion:
n.a
While land south of the project site is designated as "Grazing" or "Urban," the project site is designated
as Zone Z (an area not mapped) by the Department of Conservation, Farmland Mapping and Monitoring
Programl. Based on the designation of mapped areas adjacent to the project site, the topography of the
site, and the similarities in soil composition, iL~n be inferred no Prime. Unique, or Statewide Important
farmland is located on-site. As no conversion of such farmland will occur, no impact related to this issue
will occur.
n.b
Because no agricultural operations occur on-site. and because no Williamson Act contract is in effect for
the site, the proposed project will not result in the conversion of an active agricultural use Of. Williamson
Act contract area to a non-agricullural use. No impact related to this issue will occur.

m.a The project is located within tlie South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) and is within the jurisdiction of the South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The SCAB is bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the
west and the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, and San Jacinto Mountains to the north and east. The SCAB
region includes all of Orange County and the non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside. and San
Bernardino Counties.
The current regional air quality plan is the 2003 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) adopted by the
South Coast Air Quality Management District on August I, 2003. The 2003 AQMP updates the
attainment demonstration for the standards for ozone and PMIO. replaces the 1997 attainment
demonstration for the Federal carbon monoxide (CO) standard, provides a basis for a maintenance plan
for CO for the. future. and updates the maintenance plan for the Federal nitrogen dioxide (N<>2l standard
that the South Coast Air Basin (Basin) has met since 1992. The SCAB is currently a Federal and State
non-attainment area for PM10 and ozone. The proposed project would not conflict with or obstruct
implementation of any of the control measures established in these air quality plans. The AQMP provides
for growth (development) so long as any impacLS associated with such development are adequately
mitigated. Because the construction-related emissions resulting from the proposed project are reduced to a

less than significant level (with implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR. I), and because operational
emissions do not exceed SCAQMD thresholds; the development of the proposed residential uses will not
interfere with implementation of the AQMP. No impact related to this issue will occur.
IILb Grading and construction activities at the project site will result in localized increased levels of emissions
and paniculates. The project will also generate increased vehicle trips in the project area, leading to
increased operational emissions and air pollutants.
The SCAQMD has developed the CEQA Air Quality Handbook (2001) that establishes suggested
signifICance thresholds based on the volume of pollution emined. According to the Handbook, any project in
the Basin with daily emissions that exceed any of the following thresholds should be considered as having an
individually and cumulatively significant air quality impact:
.
55 Ibs. per day of ROC (reactive organic compounds) (75 IbsJday during construction)
55 Ibs. per day of NOx (oxides of nitrogen) (100 IbsJday during construction)
550 Ibs. per day of CO (carbon monoxide) (550 IbsJday during construction)
1501bs. per day of PM 10 (150 IbsJday during construction)
150 Ibs. per day of SOx (oxides of sulfur) (150 ]bsJday during construction)
.
.
.
.
Equipment Exhausts. During the construction phases of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-
duty construction vehicles, construction worker vehicles, and energy use will generate emissions. Exhaust
emissions during the construction activities envisioned on-site would vary daily as construction activity
levels change. _'.
Fugitive Dust. Fugitive dust emissions are generally associated with demolition, land clearing, exposure
of soils and cut and fill operations. Dust generated daily during construction would vary substantially,
depending on the level of activity, the specific operations, and weather conditions. The SCAQMD
estimates that each acre of graded surface creates about 26.4 pounds of PM,o per workday during the
construction phase of the project and 21.8 pounds of PM,o per hour from dirt/debris pushing per dozer. It
is assumed that up to four acres of land would be exposed during grading on any given day. It is also
assumed that one dozer would be used eight hours a day. together with other equipment Therefore, a
maximum of 280 pounds of PM,o per day would be generated from soil disturbance{without mitigation)
during construction.
Based on similar construction projects, the emissions associated with site grading and the construction are
estimated in Table B. During peak grading days, daily total construction emissions without mitigation
measures would exceed the SCAQMD threshold for PMIO. With the implementation of the standard
conditions such as frequent watering (i.e., minimum twice a day), Which reduce fugitive dust emissions
by approximately 50 percent, fugitive dust emissions from construction activities are, expected to be
reduced to 140 pounds or less per day. Combined with the 6 pounds per day of PM,o generated by
equipment exhaust, the total mitigated dust emission of 146 pounds per day would be below the
SCAQMD threshold of 150 pounds per day. When properly coordinated, construction equipment
emissions would nOI exceed the daily thresholds for the criteria pollutants of NOx, ROC, CO, SOx and

In addition. the CEQA Handbook indicates that changes in the vehicular traffic level of service (LOS) at
intersections affected by a project could result in potential carbon monoxide (CO) hotspots and potential
operations-related air quality impacts. Because of the limited number of daily or peak hour (39 a.m. peak
hour and 53 p.m. peak hour) vehicle trips. the proposed project will not significantly alter levels of service
at any intersection. The proposed project will nOl result in significant long-term adverse impacts related to

and two existing single residential homes south of the proposed project site may be exposed to fugitive
dust generated on-site. The implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-. will reduce potential impacts
to sensitive receptors to a less than significant level.
During construction, diesel-powered vehicles and equipment in use on the site would create odors.
Additionally, the application of architectural coatings and installation of asphalt may generate odors.
These odors are temporary and not likely to be noticeable beyond the project boundaries. Standard
SCAQMD standards regarding the application of architectural coatings and the installation of asphalt
surfaces are sufficient to reduce temporary odor impacts to a less than significant level.
The total project acreage is approximately 37.2 acres; however, approximately 20 acres of the project site
will remain undeveloped, With the development of approximately 17 acres, the proposed project is too
small to alter the climate of the surrounding area. Construction of the proposed development would not
affect existing local air movement patterns or climatic conditions as they currently exist within the project
area; therefore. no impact related to this issue will occur,

prepared to assess potential biological resource impacts that may result from development of the proposed
on-site uses.
Common mammal species observed during the biological resource surveys included California ground
squirrel (Spermophilus beecheyi), desert cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus audubonii), coyote (Canis latrans),
and Botta's pocket gopher (Thomomys bottae). Birds species observed on-site included red-tailed hawk
(Buteo jamaicensis), American robin (Turdus migratorius propinquus), house finch (Carpodacus
mexican us), Anna's hummingbird (Calypte annal, northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), and house
sparrow (Passer domesticus). A limited number of reptilian species, including the western fence lizard
(Sceloporus occidentalis) and the granite spiny lizard (Sceloporus orcuttii orcuttii), were also observed
on-site.
The project site was evaluated for the presence of habitats that may be utilized by the sensitive species
known to occur in the project area. Based on this evaluation, it was determined that focused biological
surveys were required to ascertain the presence or absence of the federally threatened California
gnatcatcher (Polioptila califomica califomica) and endangered Nevin's baIberry (Berveris nevinii).
Additionally, it was determined that the project site may contain habitat potentially suitable to the San
Bernardino kangaroo rat (Dipodomys merriami parvus). A supplernentalliterature search determined that
there are eight other listed species known from the region (reported by the CDFG Natural Diversity Data
Base for the San Bemardino North and Devore 7.S-minute quadrangles in June 2004). The site does not
contain suitable habitat for the following listed species:
. Slender-homed spineflower (Dodecahema lep/oceras)
. Santa Ana River woollystar (Eriastrum densifolium ssp. sanctorum)
~-
. . Mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana muscosa)
. Delhi sands flower-loving fly (Rhaphiomidas termina/us abdominalis)
. Marsh sandwort (Arenaria paludicola)
. Santa Ana sucker (Catas/omus san/Danae)
. Western yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus occiden/alis)
. Salt marsh bird's-beak (Cordylan/hus mari/imus ssp. maritimus)
. Gambel's water cress (Rorippa gambellii)
There are other species that are riot listed as threatened or endangered by the Federal or State
governments that are published in watch-lists of declining or "sensitive" species. Three mammalian
species that may occur on-site - the northwestern San Diego pocket mouse (Chae/dipus fallax), Los
Angeles pocket mouse (Perogna/hus longimembris brevinasus), and San Diego desert woodrat (Neotoma
lepida) - are each designated as California Species of Special Concern (CSe). Per Section,670.S, Title 14
of the California Code of Regulations!, these species are not designated as rare, threatened, or
endangered. The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) maintains a list of declining plant species.
However, none of the plant species observed on.site during the biological survey report is listed by the
CNPS as deClining. Based on the surveys of the project site, no populations of Nevin's barberry were
located on.site. '

The project site is not located within an area proposed or designated as critical habitat for the coastal
California gnatcatcher. Such habitat does exist immediately south and approximately 0.2 mile west of the
proposed project site. While not located within critical habitat, approximately 10 acres within the southern
portion of the site may be suitable for this species. As required by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS), protocol surveys for the coastal California gnatcatcher were conducted over a six-week period
in May and June of 2003. Despite the presence of suitable habitat, the coastal California gnatcatcher was
not observed during the protocol surveys. While the development of the proposed project would result in
the loss of approximately 10 acres of coastal California gnatcatcher habitat, because of its absence from
the site, no significant impact to the coastal California gnatcatcher would occur.
The site is not located within the federally designated critical habitat established for the. San Bernardino
kangaroo ral. Based on a habitat assessment, the project site does not support suitable habitat for this
species.
Because no sensitive, threatened, or endangered species are located on-site, and because the northern 20
acres of the site will be retained in a natural condition, no significant impact to candidate, sensitive, or
special status species will occur.
N.b-c Vegetative communities located on-site include chamise on the hilly northern portion of the project site;
and a mixed sage/annual grassland community on the southern portion of the site. Riparian vegetation is
located along the main drainages. The mixed-sage/grassland community is in a disturbed condition
resulting from off-road vehicle activities, discing for fire prevention, dirt roads, and illegal dumping.
Dominant species in the chamise community include chamise (Adenostoma fasciculatum), black sage
(Salvia mellifera), and ceanthos (ceanthos sp.). The mixed sage/annual grassland community is
dominated by California sage (Artemisia califomica), black sage, white sage (Salvia apiana), ripgut grass
(Bromus diandrus), and deerweed (Lotus scoparius). Grasses include bromegrass (Bromus diabdrus),
avena (Avena sp.), red-stemmed filaree (Erodium C1cutarium), and mustard (Hirschfeldia sp.).
The July 2003 San Bernardino kangaroo rat assessment and jurisdictional delineation stated that riparian
areas .....occur along the main drainages and in the northern of the site." The project site was burned
during the October 2003 "Old Fire." A site visit was conducted on June 17,2004, by an LSA biologist to
determine the extent of riparian habitat that would be impacted by development of the proposed project.
Aerial photographs of the project site (Eagle Aerial 2001) were also assessed to determine the extent of
riparian habitat prior to the Ocl<lber 2003 wildfire. --
Most of the larger trees and shrubs were burned; however, most trees are resprouiing and are identifiable.
Smaller shrubs and annuals within the coastal sage scrub and non-native grassland communities have
already resprouted or germinated since the fire. There was no evidence of smaller native riparian annuals
and smaller shrubs within the project area (non-native castor bean [Ricinus communis] and giant reed
[Arundo donax] was observed during the site visit). -Further, all of the drainages within the preserved
hillside, except for the one at the northwest comer, consist of burned remnants of the chaparral
community. The drainage that cuts across the cornerllf the northwest property boundary consists of larger
riparian trees. It is likely that there is scattered riparian vegetation (consisting of mule fat [Baccharis
salicifolia], red willow [Salix laevigata], and arroyo willow [Salix lasiolepisl, per the Natural Resources
Assessment [NRAI report) throughout the northern drainages that will be preserved. There !s less than
one quarter of an acre of riparian habitat that exists within the proposed project, in the open space area.
Based on this assessment, no impact to riparian habitat will result from the development of the proposed
project.

INITIAL STUDY
According to the July 2003 delineation. no jurisdiction wetlands are located on-site. A subsequent
delineation I was conducted in September and October 2004 to determine the areas of the site that would
be subject to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG),
and/or Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) jurisdiction. The later delineation identifies a
"blue-line" stream (Figure 4) within the area of the property that will not be developed. The channel of
this stream is bisected by a water tank that is located west of the property boundary. Waters of the U.S.
within this area total 0.03 acre.
Renmant drainage swales have historically transported water through the project site during storm events.
Due to the construction of fire roads. these flows have been redirected so that the renmant drainages no
longer transport flows. The soil. vegetation. and characteristics of these renmant swales do not indicate
they qualify as jurisdictional drainages.
Based on the jurisdictional delineation; no impact to wetlands will result from development of the
proposed project. As established in Mitigation Measure GEO.3. the final determination on the status of
on-site drainages rests with the appropriate permitting agencies. Adherence to this measure will be
required prior to the commencement of project grading; no significant impact related to this issue will
occur.
IV _d The proposed project is located at the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. The site is bordered by
development to the southeast. Since the project is at the north end of residential development in the City
of San Bernardino. the site may provide limited foraging ground and localized movement for wildlife who
are using the site as part of an east-west movement route at the base of the foothills. The site is not part of
a north-south movement route due to development to the south that restricts wildlife movement.
--
There would be an incremental loss to wildlife hapitat through the development of the proposed project;
however. the portion of the site to be developed consists mostly of non-native grasslands_ The native
coastal sage scrub and chaparral habitats along the hillsides would be preserved and will continue to
provide wildlife foraging and function as a wildlife movement route. The project will not have impacts to
native habitat fragmentation. The project will contribute to the incremental encroachment due the
expansion of development within foothill areas in the City; however. impacts to regional wildlife
movement associated with this project would not be significant.
The project site may be utiliied by nesting birds during breeding season (March f5 - September 15).
Mitigation Measure BIO-l has been identified to reduce potential impacts to nesting birds to a less than
significant level.
BIO.} If site clearing and grading activities occur within the nesting period (March 15 - September 15).
a certified biologist shall conduct a nesting bird survey prior to any ground disturbing activities.
The nesting survey shall take place over three consecutive days one week prior to the start of
ground disturbing activity. Ground disturbance shall not be permitted within 100 feet of any
nesting activity. All site clearing and grading shall conform to applicable provisions of the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
IV.e The project site is not located within a Habitat Conservation Plan or Natural Community Conservation
:i.l Plan. No impact related to this issue will occur.

IV.f The City has a tree removal policy which states that if more than five trees are to be removed, a tree
removal permit application must be submitted to and approved by the Cityl. The City typically requires a
replacement ratio at I: I for all removed trees. Development of the proposed project will require the
removal of six trees within the project footprint (along Lots 12, IS, 16, and 17) (Figure 4). Six additional
eucalyptus trees and two walnut trees are located nonh of Lots 14 through 18, and are nol within the
project footprint. A City Tree Removal Permit will be required for the removal of the six trees within the
project footprint and for any additional trees that may need to be removed. Adherence to City
requirements related to the removal and/or replacement of trees (including a pre-permit tree survey) will
reduce potential impacts associated with this issue to a less than significant level.

Cultural Resources Discussion:
V.a-e Figure 8. of the City's General Plan, identifies the project site as being within an area of concern for
archaeological resources. One previously recorded historic period site was identified in the eastern portion
of the property. This site (CA-SBR-7054H), first recorded in 1991, consists of two concrete-and-rock
cisterns, two earthen reservoirs, and two stacked rock retaining walls. as well as segments of riveted-steel
irrigation pipe, landscape trees, and a refuse scatter of glass and tin can fragmentst. Two isolated historic-
period bottle fragments were observ~d several hundred feet south of the previously recorded site.
A "historic resource" includes, but is not limited to any object, building, site, area, place. record, or
manuscript which is historically or archeologically significant, or is significant in the architectural.
engineerinp, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or. cultural annals of
California. CEQA mandates that Lead Agencies consider a resource to be "historically.significant" if it
meets the criteria for listing on the California Register of Historic Resources. Such resources meet this
requirement if they are (I) associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad
patterns of<;:alifornia history, (2) associated with the lives of important persons in the past, (3) embody
distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, and/or (4) represent the
work of ail important creative individual or possesses high artistic value.

INITIAL STUDY
The 1991 cultural resource survey detennined that the site was not eligible for inclusion on the National
Register of Historic Places, An archeological records and literature search and an archeological field
survey of the project site were conducted in October and November 2004. The finding of this most recent
archeological survey concurred with the finding of the 1991 survey that the site was not historic or
archeologically significant. Funhennore. based on the site's lack of potential for archeologicallhistoric
data and the loss of historic integrity, neither the recorded site nor the two isolates meet the definition of a
"historic resource" under CEQA.1 The features recorded during the 1991 and 2004 field surveys are not
connected with local historic personalities, lack historic integrity, and are of common design and utility.
There are no known unique ethnic or cultural values associated with the site, nor are there any religious or
sacred uses associated with the project site.
Development of the proposed residential uses will result in the elimination of the previously recorded
resource. CEQA establishes that a significant effect on the environment would occur where a project
causes a "substantial adverse change in the significance of a historic resource." Because the resource is
not a "historic resource" and is not eligible for listing on either the National Register of Historic Places or
the California Register of Historic Resources, no significant impact resulting from the development of
residential and/or elimination of the resource will occur.
To ascertain the potential for on-site paleontological resources, record searches of the Regional
Paleontological Inventory at the San Bernardino County Museum and the Natural History Museum of Los
Angeles County were conducted. No known paleontological localities are located on or adjacent to the
project site. A field survey, conducted in accordance with the guidelines established by the Society of
Vertebrate Paleontology, was also completed for the project site. No visible evidence of on-site
paleontological resources was identified during-lhe field survey.2
Based on the records search, literature search, andneld survey, the paleontological assessment concluded
there is a low potential for paleontological resources north of the San Andreas Fault and a moderate to
high potential for such resources south of the fault.
No evidence is in place to suggest the project site has been used for human burials. The California Health
and Safety Code (Section 7050.5) states that if human remains are discovered on-site, no further
disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a detennination of origin and disposition
pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. As adherence to State regulations is required for all
development, no mitigation is required in the unlikely event human remains are discovered on-sileo
While no significant on-site historic, archaeological, or paleontological resource has been identified
within the project limits, site clearing and grading activities may expose previously undetected or
unreponed archaeological or paleontological resources. Adherence to the following measure will reduce
potential impacts related to this issue to a less than significant level.
CUL.l Prior to the commencement of ground-disturbing activities, the project applicant shall provide
evidence to the City that a qualified (as detennined by the City) archaeologist and/or
paleontologist has been retained to monitor ground-disturbing activities. The qualified
archaeologist and/or paleontologist shall be on-site during any ground-disturbing activities. In
the event any archaeological, historical, or paleontologic resource is uncovered during the

operations will result in the "cut" and "fill" of 86,000 and 110,000 cubic yards (cy) of soil, respectively.
To balance project grading. 24,000 cy of soil will be imported from Tentative Tract ]6502, located
directly south of the project site. Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the project proponent will be
required to' prepare and submit detailed grading plans for the project site. These plans must be prepared in
confonnance with the applicable standards of the City's Grading Ordinance and the California Building
Code (CBC). As adherence to the requirements of the City's Grading Ordinance, CBC, and conditions set
forth in the grading pennit are required prior to the commencement of on-site clearing and grading
activities. no significant grading-related impact will occur. No additional mitigation is required.

INITIAL STUDY
VI.b-c Fault rupture is the most easily avoided seismic hazard. The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act
(Act) mitigates fault rupture hazards by prohibiting the location of structures for human occupancy across
the trace of an active fault. The Act requires the State Geologist to delineate ''Earthquake Fault Zones"
along faults that are "sufficiently active" and "well defined." The boundary of an "Earthquake Fault
Zone" is generally 500 feet from major active faults, and from 200 to 300 feet from well dermed minor
faults. The mapping of active faults has been completed by the State Geologist. These maps are
distributed to all affected cities, counties, and State agencies for their use in developing planning policies
and controlling renovation or new construction. The geotechnical investigation prepared by Sladden
Engineeringl states the San Andreas Fault and its corresponding Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone
trend across the northern portion of the project site. Based on the fault mapping conducted by the State2,
no proposed structure is located on or directly adjacent 10 the identified trace of the San Andreas Fault, or
within the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone (Figure 5).
The City is situated in a seismically active area. Ground shaking is expecled to the primary hazard likely
to affect the project. In addition to the San Andreas Fault, the Cucamonga and San Jacinto Faults are
located within 5.0 miles of the project site. The maximum earthquake events on the San Andreas,
Cucamonga, and San Jacinto Faults are estimated at 7.4, 7.3 and 6.7 magnitude, respectively. The project
site is located in Seismic Zone 4. Adherence to standards set forth in California Building Code (CBC), as
required by the following mitigation measure, will reduce potential ground shaking impacts to a less than
significant level.
GEO.l The design and construction of all structures and facilities within the project limits shall be in
accordance with the regulations and recommendations established in the California Building
Code and the geotechnical investigation.
~'-
VI.d Figure 53 of the City's General Plan, identifies the project site as being located in an area susceptible to
high winds and wind erosion. As stated in the resPonse to Checklist Question VI.a, the proposed project
will require the movement of on.site soils. Soils on the southern portion of the project site consists
primarily Hanford coarse sandy loam (HaD)3, which occurs on slopes of 9.15 percent; and Tujunga
gravelly loamy sand (TvC), which occurs on slopes of 0-9 percent. There is a medium to high potential
for erosion on Hanford soils; and a slight erosion potential on Tujunga soils.
Development of the site is in excess of one acre; therefore, the proposed project is required to obtain a
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit as well as submitting a Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to address erosion and discharge impact associated with the proposed
on-site grading. In addition to compl~ing with the NPDES permit, the project proponent will comply with
grading and erosion control measures (including the prevention of sedimentation or damage to off-site
property) set forth in Chapter 15 of the City's Municipal Code. Adherence to the following mitigation
measure and applicable provisions of the NPDES permit will reduce potential erosion impacts 10 a less
than significant level. '
GEO.2 An erosion control plan shall be prepared and implemented prior to the commencement of on-
site grading activities. The plan shall identify specific measures to control on-site and off-site
erosion during the entire grading and construction period. The erosion control plan shall at a
minimum include;the following measures:

a. Specify the timing of grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to prolonged
periods of min.
b. An inspection and maintenance program shall be included in the erosion control plan to
ensure that any erosion that may occur will be remedied within a specified time fmme.
VI.e A slope analysis was prepared for the project site (Figure 6). The proposed residential dwellings will be
constructed on the southern ponion of the site. an area identified as having a slope of 15 percent or less.
Figure 52 of the General Plan identifies three different genemlized slope areas within the limits of the
project site. The generalized slope classifications identified for the project site include lib. IIIb. and Nb.
lib indicates an area of low relief with low to moderate landslide susceptibility. IIIb indicates an area of
moderate relief with low to moderate landslide susceptibility. Nb indicates an area of high relief with low
to modemte landslide susceptibility. Development will occur only on areas with a low susceptibility to
landslides. Based on Figures 48 and 51 in the General Plan. the project site is not located in an area
susceptible to liquefaction or subsidence.
Compliance with the City of San Bernardino and CBC construction standards will reduce impacts
associated with landslides. mudslides. subsidence. or other similar hazards to a less than significant level.
VI.f Liquefaction is a phenomenon that occurs when strong earthquake shaking causes soils to collapse from a
sudden loss of cohesion and undergo a transformation from a solid state to a liquefied state. This happens
in areas where the soils are saturated with groundwater. Loose soils with panicle size in the medium sand
to silt range are panicularly susceptible to liquefaction when subjected to seismic ground shaking.
Affected soils lose all strength during liquefaction and failure of building foundations can occur.
Liquefaction typically occurs in areas where groundwater is present within 50 feet of the surface.
The project site is not located within an ar~-identified as highly or moderately highly susceptible to
liquefaction (Figure 48). According to the geotechnical investigation conducted by Sladden Engineering.
based on the depth to groundwater and the genemlly dense conditions of the soils. the potential for
liquefaction and the related surficial effects of liquefaction are conSidered negligible. The City of San
Bernardino maintains construction standards based on the CBC. Adherence to these standards is required
by any development within the City; therefore. no impact related to this issue will occur.
VI.g According to the subsequent delineation. a "blue. line" stream is located on-site. This feature is located
within a ponion of the prope~y that will not be developed. The channel of this stream is bisected by a
water tank that is located west of the propeny boundary. Waters of the U.S. within this area total 0.03
acre. Remnant dminage swales have historically tmnsponed water through the project site during storm
events. Due to the construction of fire roads, these flows have been redirected so that the remnant
drainages no longer transport flows. The soil, vegetation. and characteristics of these remnant swales do
not indicate they qualify as jurisdictional drainages.
No impact to wetlands will result from development of the proposed project. As established in Mitigation
Measure GEO.3, the final determination on the status of on-site dminages rests with the appropriate
permitting agencies.
The followlrig'mitigation has been identified to reduce potential impacts to on-site drainages to a less than
significant level: '

Hazards and Hazardous Materials Discussion:
Vn.a-b The proposed project will result in the development of single-family residential uses. The volume of
household hazardous waste material (e.g., cleaners, pesticides, fertilizers, paint products, and petroleum
products) is anticipated to be small.
The construction of the proposed project will require the transport of potentially hazardous materials (e.g.,
paints and fuels). The transport and use of hazardous materials during the construction of the proposed
project will comply with applicable City, State, and Federal requirements, standards, and/or guidelines
pertaining to the use of these substances. Compliance with applicable hazardous material regulations will
reduce any such potential hazardous material impact to a less than significant level.
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment' of the property was conducted to assess the presence or likely
presence of the past or existing release, or the material threat of any hazardous material into the ground or
surface/groundwater. A field survey of the property was conducted on November 2, 2004. The field
survey and review of historical aerial photographs generally support the finding that the site has been
largely undeveloped since 1938. The southern portion of the project site had been disced resulting in the
removal of a significant amount of groundcover. No obvious drums, containers. fluids, spills. or other
evidence of hazardous materials were observed. A review of local, State, and federal regulatory databases
was conducted, including (but not limited to) the: National Priorities List (NPL); Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLIS); Resource
Conservation and Recovery Information System (RCRIS); Emergency Response and Notification System
(ERNS); CaI-Sites Database; California Hazardous Material Incident Report System (CHMIRS);
Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List (CORTESE); Solid Waste Information System (SWlS); and
Leaking Underground Storage Tank InformatioR-System (LUST). The project site was not listed in any of
the hazardous material databases consulted.
No significant environmental concerns or Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) were observed
on-site. While the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment did not reveal the existence of any known or
recorded hazardous material release on-site, the movement of soil during construction activity may reveal
previously undetected and/or unrecorded hazardous material. To reduce the significance in the unlikely
event potentially hazardous materials are encountered during project grading/construction, the following
measure has been identified.
HAZ-l The City shall be immediately notified in the event malodorous or discolored soils, liquids,
containers. or other materials known or suspected to contain hazardous materials and/or
contaminants are encountered during on-site grading/construction. Earthmoving activities in
the vicinity of said material shall be halted until the extent and nature of the suspect material is
determined by qualified personnel <as determined by the City.) The removal and/or disposal of
any such contaminants shall be in accordance with all applicable local, State, and Federal
standards.
Adherence to the aforementioned measure will reduce potential impacts related to this issue to a less than
significant lev.el.

As stated in the responses to Checklist Questions VII.a and VII.b, no routine or large-scale use of
hazardous materials will occur during the construction on occupation of the proposed project; therefore,
no impact related to this issue will occur.
VII.d Pursuant to the California Government Code (Section 65962.5[ED, the project site is not listed in the
State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Site Lists (Cortese listi. No impact related to this
issue will occur.

impact related to this issue will occur.
VII.r The design, construction, and maintenance of structure, roadways, and facilities to comply with
applicable City standards related to emergency access and evacuation plans. Any construction activity
that may temporarily restrict vehicular traffic will be required to implement adequate and appropriate
measures to facilitate the passage of persons and vehicles through/around any required road closures.
Adherence to applicable City access control measures will reduce potential impacts related to this issue to
a less than significant level.
vn.g The project site is located in an urban-wildland interface area. Portions of the project site were burned
during the October 2003 "Old Fire." The City has identified a Fire Overlay District (FOD) to mitigate the
spread of fire, to minimize property damage. and to reduce the risk to public health and safety. Within the
FOD, "Foothill Fire Zones" have been identified. The fire hazard within each zone varies based on slope,
type of fuel present, and natural barriers. The zones are identified as follows:
~-
Fire Zone A - Extreme Hazard: Fire Zone A is determined based on slope. This zone includes areas with
slopes in excess of 30 percent.-
Fire Zone B - High Hazard: Fire Zone B is also determined based on slope. This zone includes areas with
slopes between 15 percent and 30 percent.
Fire Zone C - Moderate Hazard: Fire Zone C includes areas with slopes less than 15 percent.
Fire Zone C, Abutting Wildlands: This includes lots on the perimeter of a tract that are adjacent to
wildlands. "Wildlands" are defined as any land that is essentially unimproved.
The southeastern comer of the project site is located within Fire Zone C, while the balance of the
developed area is located within Fire Zone B. The northern portion of the project site that will be retained
as natural open space is located within Fire Zone A. Per discussions between the project applicant and the
San Bernardino Fire Department (SBFD), the entire developed portion of the project site will be
considered to be within Fire Zone B and will be developed accordingly.
Without adequate mitigation, the proposed project has the potential to expose persons arid structures to
significant injury, or loss of life or property from wildland fires. State and City development standards
include measures ''to control the exposure to homes within the urban/wildland interface andlor otherwise
reduce the spread of fire on or to developed properties, by controlling the use of materials and methods of
construction" in the fire haza'rd areas. In response to the "Old Fire," Chapter 15.10 of the Municipal Code
was amended in January 2004. This amendment established Building Safety Enhancement Area (BSEA)

standards, strengthening development requirements within Foothill Fire Zones. The City's Development
Codel identifies additional requirements for development within Foothill Fire Zones. These standards
include (but are not limited to) the creation of "defensible space" around the project, prohibitions on the
use of specific building materials, and the imposition of more stringent construction standards.
The construction of the proposed residential structures will be required to adhere to all applicable
standards established by the City, including the implementation of Fuel Modification Plan and new
standards within the BSEA, as well as conditions mandated by the SBFD (including. but not limited to:
the sprinkling of on-site structures. and a prohibition on combustible units prior to the installation of fire
hydrants and paved roadways.) The project has been reviewed by the SBFD and a Fuel Modification Area
has been required in order to buffer the development from the abutting wildlands. The plan for a Fuel
ModifICation Area (Figure 3) includes "fuel load reduction" (removal of Dammable vegetation), and the
installation of drought-tolerant groundcover. The Fuel Modification Area provides from 100 to 160 feet
of "defensible space" between the northern property line of residential lots and upslope natural areas.
Residential lots on the western edge of the proposed development will be separated from adjacent
wildlands by a dirt service road, while properties on the eastern border of the site will be buffered by
landscaped manufactured slopes.
The electrically powered underground water pump station (Lot A) has been sufficiently sized to maintain
emergency fire Dows (1,000 gallons per minute for 2 hours). The pump station will be equipped with an
underground back-up generator to ensure adequate pressure is maintained in the event of an electrical
outage. Additionally, the open cul-de-sac at the terminus of Street "A" will provide improved emergency
access to wildland areas north of the proposed development.
The following measure has been identified to Illi.!!gate for potential wildland fire hazards:
HAZ-2 Prior to the issuance of building permits, a detailed Fuel Modification Plan shall be approved
by the Fire Department. All fire protection standards and requirements shall be completed or
guaranteed to the satisfaction of the Fire Department. The Fuel Modification Plan shall detail
the type of vegetation utilized. methods of thinning and planting. and long-term maintenance
(including irrigation and access) provisions.
With the implementation of the Mitigation Measure HAZ-2 and the City's standards for development
within the BSEA, potential impacts from this project with regard to exposure to fires'will be lowered to a
level of less than significant. '

Hydrology and Water Quality Discussion:
VIll.a The proposed project has the potential to cause-changes in the quality of surface water. Construction of
tlie proposed development will require grading and excavation activities, which may allow eroded soils
and other pollutants to enter the storm drain system. Storm runoff from roadway surfaces tainted by
sediment, petroleum products, commonly utilized construction materials, and (to a lesser extent) trace
metals such as zinc, copper, lead, cadmium, and iron, may lead to the degradation of stormwater in
downstream channels. A construction project resulting in the disturbance of 1.0 acre or more requires an
NPDES permit. In addition to preparation of an SWPPP, beginning June 1,2004, project proponents are
also required to prepare a Water Quality Management Plan (wQMP). The WQMP will identify measures
to treat and/or limit the entry !>f contaminants into the storm drain system. The following measures have
been identified to reduce the significance of potential water quality impacts.
HWQ-I The applicant shall mitigate on-site stormwater discharge sufficiently to maintain compliance
with the City's NPDES Storm Water Discharge Permit Requirements. A "Notice of Intent"
(NOI) shall be filed with the State Water Quality Control Board for construction disturbing 1.0
acre or more of land.
HWQ.:z Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall submit an SWPPP specifically
identifying Best Management Practices that will be used on-site to reduce the pollutants into the
storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable.
HWQ-3 The plans for landscaping shall include provisions for controlling and minimizing the use of
fenilizerslpesticideslherbicides. Areas landscaped shall be monitored and maintained for at
least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable growth.

HWQ.4 Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the project applicant shall submit to the City for review
and approval, a Water Quality Management Plan. The Water Quality Management Plan will
identify Best Management Practices (e.g., media filters, drain inserts, or other devices) to treat
and/or limit the entry of contaminants (especially those associated with nuisance water and first
flush runoff) into the storm drain system and downstream waters. Factors to be considered
when identifying the manner of Best Management Practice(s) utilized shall include: the size
and location of the project. estimated drainage flows, effectiveness, cost, and maintenance
requirements.
Adherence to Mitigation Measures HWQ 1-4 and measures included in the SWPPP, WQMP. and
NPDES permit will reduce potential water quality impacts to a less than significant level.
vm.b Direct additions to or withdrawals of groundwater are not elements of this project. 1be project site is
located within the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin of the Upper Santjl Ana River Watershed. While
development of the proposed residential uses and associated infrastructure will result in the installation of
impermeable surfaces, the installation of landscaping on individual residential lots will allow for the
continued percolation of water into the local groundwater table. The project site encompasses
approximately 37.2 acres, with development occurring on approximately 17.22 of those acres. Compared
to the size of the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin (80,443 acres)!, the loss of this amount of permeable
surface area is not significant. Since 1972. in excess of 150,000 acre-feet of imported State Project Water
has been recharged in the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin. The proposed project represents a negligible
loss of permeable surface area for the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin; therefore, the loss of the potential
recharge area is less than significant.
The proposed project does not trigger the requirement for preparation of a water supply assessment (i.e.. a
development exceeding 500 residential units.2) Water service to the project site will be provided by the
San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (SBMWD), which serves the majority of the City. Water
mains are located in Ohio and Magnolia Avenues. The SBMWD is able to provide water service to the
project site subject to hydraulic limitations. The proposed project includes the installation of an
underground water pump station (Lot A) which will be sufficiently sized to maintain adequate domestic
and fire flow pressures throughout the project site.
Potential impacts related to the quantity of groundwater supplies and recharge are less-than significant.
vm.c-d Currently, runoff generally flows across the project site in a southwest direction. As stated in the response
to Checklist Question VI.g, development of the project site will result in the alteration of the existing on-
site drainage pattern.
The proposed project will alter the course of the existing drainage pattern on the site by creating streets
with curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, grading each lot to drain toward the street, and generally controlling
the surface drainage. Sheet flow from the northern portion of the project site will tIC collected in a
concrete V -ditch located along the northern portion of the residential development. Flows collected in the
V -ditch will be conveyed in a concrete channel located within a 20-foot drainage easement. This
easement is located betweeJ) Lots 16 and 17. From this point, flows will be contained within curbs and
gutters to catch basins located at the extreme southern end of Streets "A" and "B," which connect to the
24-inch on-site storm drain. Flows entering the project site from the east will be directed to a 24-inch

stann drain via an inlet structure (riprap) located between Lots 19 and 20. These flows will be conveyed
via this stonn drain. installed within Street "B." The on-site storm drain will connect with a 24-inch storm
drain that will be installed in Tentative Tract 16502. located southwest of the project site. Ultimately.
stann flows from the project site will enter Cable Creek. located approximately 0.75 mile south of the
project site. The following measure has been identified to reduce potential drainage-related impacts to a
less than significant level.
HWQ.S Prior to the issuance of a grading permit. a site-specific drainage study that meets the standards
of the City of San Bernardino Public Works Division will be prepared by a California
Registered Civil Engineer. All recommendations from this analysis, including facilities
necessary to mitigate drainage impacts. maximize percolation and groundwater recharge to the
extent feasible shall be incorporated in all grading and site improvement plans.
Vm.e Drainage for the site will contribute to runoff water; however. the project proposes upgrades to the
existing City of San Bernardino storm drain system. The existing system. along with the proposed
additions. has the capacity to handle the additional runoff. The SWPPP and WQMP will include Best
Management Practices that will alleviate the potential impact from additional pollution in the runoff.
Through implementation of the standard regulations as well as the previously cited mitigation measures.
potential impacts associated with excessive and/or polluted runoff are less than significant.
VIIIJ As previously discussed. the proposed project has the potential to impact water quality due to erosion as
well as potential pollution in runoff waters. These impacts will be reduced to a level of less than
significance by Mitigation Measures GEO-2 and HWQ 1-4.
vm.g-i The project site is not identified as being locaied within a flood area for lOO-year flood in Figure 62 of the
General Plan. The southern ponion of the projectsite is located within Zone X. an area determined to be
outside the 500-year floodplain. As indicated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMAi.
the nonhern ponion of .the project site is located within Zone D. Flood Zone D is defined as an area of
undetermined but possible flood hazards. No habitable structures will be constructed within the nonhern
ponion of the project site. Because the proposed residential uses will not be constructed within a 100-
flood hazard area. no impact related to these issues will occur.
VIll.h Because the project site is located approximately 65 miles from the Pacific Ocean. ilwill be unaffected by
tsunamis or tidal events. A water tank is located directly west of the southern. ponion of the project site.
An existing storm drain and proposed retaining walls lie between the water tank and the proposed
residential units. These features win diven flows from the water tank away from residential uses in the
event the structural integrity of the water tank is compromised. As stated previously. the project site is not
located in an identified flood hazard area; therefore. no impact associated with these issues will occur.

within the HMOD requires approval of a Conditional USe Permit (CUP). As stated in Chapter 19.17.010
of the City's Development Code. the purpose of the HMOD is .....to provide low-density development in
the City's hillside areas and to assure that this development occurs in a manner which protects the
hillside's natural and topographic character and identity. environmental sensitivities, aesthetic qualities
and the public health, safety. and public welfare." A slope analysis was prepared for the project site. The
proposed residential dwellings will be constructed on the southern portion of the site, an area identified as
having a slope of 15 percent or less. Slopes range from 15 to greater than 30 percent on portions of the
project site to be retained as natural open space. Under provisions of the HMOD, the development density
within areas with slopes of less than 15 percent is up to 2.0 units per acre. The HMOD permits the
transfer of density from one slope category to another. Utilizing this density transfer provision, the
number of units proposed is consistent with the HMOD. No significant impact related to this issue will
occur.

Mineral Resources Discussion:
X.a-c Natural sand and gravel deposits in Cajon Wash, Lytle Creek, Warm Creek, City Creek, and the Santa
Ana River contain the bulk of the City's aggregate resources. As indicated in Figure 42 of the City's
General Plan, neither the State nor the City hlive identified the project site as a regionally significant
source of mineral resources. No mineral extraction activities are occurring on-site. Because of the size
and location of the project site, and the absence of any identified on-site mineral resource, development of
the project site will not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource or a locally important
mineral resource recovery site. No impact related to this issue will occur.
Construction of the proposed residential dwellings and related infrastructure will require the use of
concrete. aggregate, asphalt and other ma!erials. These resources are commercially available in the
southern California region with few or no constraints. Because of the general availability of construction
materials (including aggregate)'and the limited scale of the proposed project, no.adverse impact related to
the availability of these resources or the resource base from which they are derived will occur.

Xla Undeveloped land is located dfrectly north. east, and west of the project site. Two existing single-family
residential dwellings are located south of the project site. The project does not include the development or
expansion of existing industrial or- commercial uses. Noise from constrUCtion equipment typically
generates approximately 68 dB(A) L.q at 100 feet from the area where it operates. L.q is the equivalent
sound level representing the average noise exposure over a one-hour. eight-hour. or 24-hour period. If two
pieces of equipment are used. the "typical" construction noise measurements of the maximum hourly
average noise levels are expected to be approximately 72 dB(A) L.q at 100 feet from the point of origin.
As point sources. these noise sources will decrease at a rate of 6 dB(A) per doubling of distance.
Therefore. at 200 feet, the construction noise would decrease to 66 dB(A); at 400 feet. the dB(A) would
decrease to 60 dB(A); and so forth.
The two existing residential uses are located approximately 100 feet and 250 feet from the project
boundaries. A 15 dB outdoor to indoor noise reduction with windows closed is typically assumed to
represent interior noise levels where measurements are not available. With the reduction applied to an
interior noise level. approximately 57 dB(A) L.q at 100 feet is anticipated. This short-term noise impact

will exceed the City's noise standard. The following mitigation measures will be required to reduce
potential construction noise impacts to a less than significant level.
;.:.
~
NOS-I Construction-related activities may not occur between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. No
construction vehicles. equipment. or employees may be delivered to, or arrive at the construction
site before 7:00 a.m. or leave the site after 8:00 p.m. Construction activities may only occur
Monday through Saturday, and are not permitted on State or Federal holidays.
NOS-Z All construction vehicles shall have mufflers and be maintained in good operating order at all
times.
NOS.3 All trucks waiting to be loaded or unloaded with construction material shall not be left to idle for
more than 10 minutes.
(f'!-:
,
, .
NOS-4 Concrete crushing, rock crushing, andlor blasting on the project site shall be prohibited.
NOS-S All stationary noise-generating sources, such as air compressors, shall be located as far as
possible from the existing residential uses.
NOS-6 Prior to the commencement of on-site construction activities, a temporary earthen berm or sound
attenuation fence shall be placed along the boundary between the project site and existing
residential uses. The form and height of sound attenuation shall be established by the City. but in
no instance shall it measure less than six feet.
~ :
~-
".
(
F.
Adherence to Mitigation Measures NOS 1-6 will reduce short-term noise impacts to a less than
significant level.
-'-
r XI.b Because of the residential nature of the proposed project, any groundborne noise or vibration would occur
i " only intermittently during grading and constructIon of the proposed on-site uses. Any potential impact
associated with groundborne noise or vibration would be short-term and less than significant.
r'
. . XI.c The City of San Bernardino General Plan states that an acceptable exterior community noise equivalent
level (CNEL) in residential areas is 65 dB(A) with an interior noise level of 45 dB(A). The CNEL is a 24-
~' hour A-weighted average sound level from midnight to midnight obtained after the addition of 5 decibels
~ (dB) to sound levels occurring between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00'p.m. and 10 dB to the sound levels occurring
between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. The 5 dB and 10 dB penalties added to the evening-and nighttime hours
account for the added sensitivity of humans to noise during these time periods. .
;,-
*-,~
Based on General Plan Figures 57 and 58. the project site is not in an area where future or existing noise ,
levels exceed an L... of 65 dB(A) exterior or L... of 45 dB(A) interior. The project is residential in nature.
There will be an increase in noise levels during the day from children' playing and vehicle ingress and
egress from the project area. The proposed water pump station will be installed completely,underground
within an enclosed steel vault, thereby eliminating any significant noise impact. The electrically powered
pump station will be equipped with an underground back-up generator which will be activated,only in the
event of an electrical outage. The noise resulting from the long-term occupation of the proposed
residential' uses is anticipated to be similar to that of adjacent residential areas and is not expected to
exceed C,ity noise standards; therefore. no long-term noise impact will occur.
, ,
"
Xi.d
The residential nature of the project limits the potential temporary or periodic increase to the use of sirens
from emergency vehicles. The noise generated by such uses is necessary to ensure the health and safety of
general public. No impact is anticipated.

XII. POPULA nON AND HOUSING - Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, D D ~ D
either directly (for example, by proposing new
homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example,
through extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
b) Remove existing housing and displace substantial D D D ~
numbers of people, necessitating the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere?
c) Other: Create a demand for additional housing? D D D ~
Population and Housing Discussion:
XII.a Based on the California Depanment of Finance's 2004 Population and Housing Estimates', the average
size of a household in the City is 3.34 persons per dwelling unit. The proposed project may generate a
population increase of up to 174 people. In a city that is over 50 square miles and has a population of
approximately 196,273 persons. the additiothof 52 single-family residences and up to 174 persons is a
relatively small project. The project is anticipated to have a less than significant impact on inducing
growth.
Based on established land-use designations, the development of the site and adjacent areas have been
anticipated by the City. The proposed project is located directly adjacent to existing and approved
residential development; therefore, no direct or indirect growth resulting from the installation of
infrastructure will occur. While the proposed project will result in the construction and occupation of
residential uses on land that is currently undeveloped; it does not include llny Ion I-term employment-
generating uses. Due to the relatively small size of the development; the existing land use designation of
the project site and surrounding propenies; and the pattern of adjacent development, impacts related to
this issue are less than significant. _
XII.b The project site is vacant. No residential structures, including affordable housing units are located on-site;
therefore, no impact associated with this issue will occur.
XII.c While shon-term construction-related jobs will be created, these positions would most likely be filled by
local workers. The project does not include any long-term employment-generating uses; therefore the
proposed project will not create a significant demand for additional housing. No impact associated with
this issue will occur.

Public Services Discussion:
XID.a.i.Fire prevention, fire protection, and emergency medical assistance in the City of San Bernardino are
provided by the SBFD. Portions of the project site were burned during the October 2003 "Old Fire." The
southeastern comer of the project site is located within Fire Zone C, while the balance of the developed
area is located within Fire Zone B. The northern portion of the project site that will be retained as natural
open space is located within Fire Zone A. Per discussions between the project applicant and the SBFD,
the entire developed portion of the project site will be considered to be within FIfe"Zone B, and will be
developed accordingly. The construction of the proposed residential structures will be required to adhere
to all applicable standards established in the City's Municipal and Development Codes. Furthermore, the
design of the project will be reviewed and approved by the S8FD.
New development within the City creates new demands for emergency fire services either by increasing
the amount of services needed in a particular area of the City, or by increasing the types of services
required for an area. The level of required service increases as a result of growth, the number of square
feet served, and the number of persons requiring fife services. S8FD staff levels and the number and type
of equipment must increase to accommodate the increase in the number of service calls and to provide
adequate service to the City. New development will proportionally increase the need for the construction
of new facilities to house any added staff and equipment. The City has adopted "Fire Department Service
Delivery Management and Planning Standards" which establish standards for the delivery of fire services.
These standards include, but are not limited to, providing a response time of five minutes or less (on 90%
of fire calls.) The City's fire station siting plan recognizes the need for the construction of a fully staffed
fire station in the Verdemont area to ensure the delivery of fire services equal to the level of service

afforded other areas of the City. To ensure fire service impacts associated with the proposed project
remain are reduced to a less than significant level, the following mitigation has been identified:
PUB.} Prior to the issuance of building permits, the project applicant shall pay a fair share cost for the
operation and maintenance of the Verdemont Fire Station.
The proposed project will not have a significant adverse effect on medical aid and hospital services. As
stated in the response to Checklist Question XTI.a, the proposed project may increase the City's
population by a maximum of 174 persons. Such an increase represents less than a 0.1 percent increase in
the population of the City. The proposed project is expected to have a less than significant impact on
medical aid and hospital services.
Police protection services are provided by the City of San Bernardino Police Department (SBPD).
Development of the project site with 52 residential units would incrementally increase the demand for
police services. Adherence to requirements established by the SBPD, including payment of required
development fees, will reduce potential impacts related to the provision of police protection services to a
less than significant level.
The proposed project is located within the San Bernardino City Unified School District. The occupation
of the proposed residential uses will incrementally increase the student population at local schools.
Assessment fees for residential development are required by the School District. Per California
Government Code (fi 65995[h]), "The payment or satisfaction of a fee, charge, or other requirement
levied or imposed...are hereby deemed to be full and complete mitigation of the impacts...on the
provision of adequate school facilities." Upon payment of required fees, no impact related to the
provision of school services will occur. _'"
Please refer to the response to Checklist Questions XIV.a-b.
The proposed project would increase the City's population by a maximum of 174 persons. An incremental
increase in the demand for library, social, and other governmental services may occur. The addition of
public roadways and infrastructure will also incrementally increase the number and extent of facilities
maintained by the City. Because of the limited scale and extent of the project compared whole of the City,
the incremental increased demand on governmental services and facilities will not be significant.

scale of the proposed project and the limited number of daily and peak hour trips, no significant impact
related to this issue will occur.
The proposed project includes the construction of three roads that will provide access to the residences
within the development. Two roads will run north from Perrin Avenue (the future Verdemont Drive) into
the project site. The westernmost of these roads, Street "A," will be a continuation of a road constructed
as part of the residential tract (Tentative Tract 16502) located southwest of the project site. This new
Local Road, with access from Ohio Drive, will intersect Perrin A venue before proceeding north through
the project site to terminate in a cul-de-sac. Street "B" will run north-south through the project site,
paralleling Street "A." An additional road, Street "C," will run in an east-west direction cOMecting
Streets "A" and "B." The roads proposed as part of the project will be used only to access the new
residential development and will not alter present patterns of circulation. Therefore, this project will have
no impact on present patterns of circulation.
XV.c San Bernardino International Airport is approximately located 10 miles southeast of the project site.
Because of its distance from any air facility, the proposed project will not impact air operations. No
impact will occur.
XV.d Access features and roadway improvements will be designed and constructed to satisfy all City
requirements for street widths, comer radii, intersection control, etc of the City Public Works Division.
The design of the proposed residential development does not include any sharp curves or dangerous
intersections. The project will not, therefore, create a substantial increase in hazards due to a design
feature. No impact associated with this issue will occur.
XV.e To facilitate emergency access to the project-.Site, two means of on-site access will be required. One
access will be from Magnolia A venue, while the second access will be from an unnamed street to be
constructed in Tentative Tract Map ]6502 toO-the south. Standard requirements of the City Fire
Department will prohibit development of the project site until such time as a second route of dedicated,
all-weather access (the uMamed street in Tract 16502 of a suitable alternative) has been constructed.
Emergency access to northern portions of the project site will be provided via an open cul-de-sac at the
end of Street "A." The provision of this access point will improve SBFD access to wildland areas located
north of the proposed residential uses.
All roadways within the project limits shall be designed and constructed per applicable City of San
Bernardino design and development standards. Adherence to applicable staIidards, regulations, and
guidelines of the City and emergency service providers will reduce potential impacts related to this issue
to a less than significant level.
XV,f The City of San Bernardino parking standards' requirement for single-family dwellings is a minimum of
two covered spaces within a closed garage per unit. Because the proposed residential units will be
designed and constructed to incorporate applicable City parking standards, no impact related to this issue
will occur.
XV.g The proposed project will comply with all City development policies, standards and programs pertaining
to supporting alternative moPes of transportation; therefore, no impact related to this issue will occur.

the City has planned for the development of the project site with residential units, including the
generation of wastewater. The current system for wastewater will be adequate to handle the increase
expected from the 52 single-family residences. No impact is anticipated.
XV.b The proposed project will construct new water and wastewater service facilities in the project area to tie
into the existing facilities. The existing facilities have adequate capacity to handle the expected increase
from the proposed development. The construction of the new conveyance facilities will occur during the
development of the project site and all related impacts to the environment will be mitigated along with the
other impacts from the project construction. Any impact to water and wastewater facilities is anticipated
to be less than significant.
XV.c The City of San Bernardino Public Works Division administers storm drain and flood control facilities
within the City. The storm drain system has been divided into sub-areas within the City based upon San
Bernardino County Aood Control District's Comprehensive Storm Drain Plans. The project site is located
within Storm Drain Sub-Area 4, which corresponds to a ponion of Comprehensive Storm Drain Plan
No.7, which covers the nonhwesterly ponion ofthe City.
The intent of the City of San Bernardino is to maintain all storm water within the underground drain
system (except for street flows reaching interception points) for a 100year frequency storms in all areas of
the City. Streets are designed to accommodate storm flows between curbs (for 25-year storms) and
between rights-of-way (for l00-year storms). Private on-site drains, installed wholly on private propeny
and maintained by the owners, may discharge into local or regional drains. Approvals of on-site systems
are made through the plan check process. The project applicant will be required to install adequate on-site
storm drain facilities. The on-site storm drain system will be designed, installed, and maintained per
Public Works Division standards. Potential Impacts associated with implementation of the proposed
project are not expected to be significant.
XV.d The proposed project does not trigger the requirement for preparation of a water supply assessment (i.e., a
residential development exceeding 500 residential units) as established in Sections 10910-10912 of the
California Water Code. Water Service to the project site will be provided by the San Bernardino
Municipal Water Depanment (SBMWD), which serves the majority of the City. Water mains are located
in Ohio and Magnolia Avenues. The SBMWD is a.ble to provide water service to the project site subject
. to hydraulic limitations. The proposed project includes the installation of an underground water pump
station (Lot A) which will maintain adequate domestic and fire flow pressures. .lhe pump station will be
equipped with an underground back-up generator to ensure adequate pressure is maintained in the event
of an electrical outage.
Prior to the issuance of building permits, the project applicant will be required to satisfy SBMWD
requirements related to the payment of fees and/or the provision of adequate water facilities. The SBFD
requires a fire flow demand of 1,000 gpm that can be maintained for two hours. All facilities will be
designed, installed, and maintained to meet SBMWD standards for domestic water supply and SBFD
standard for fire flow. Prior to development, the project applicant will be required to obtain evidence that
the proposed project's water demands can be met by the SBMWD. Adherence to these conditions will
reduce potential impacts associated with this issue to a less than significant level.

XV.e Wastewater conveyance and treatment services will be provided by the SBMWD. Existing sewer mains
are located within Ohio and Magnolia Avenues. The proposed 8-inch on-site sewer line will connect to
one of these existing mains. Wastewater flows from the project will be conveyed to and processed by
facilities at the San Bernardino Water Reclamation Facility (WRP) located at 399 Chandler Place in the
City of San Bernardino. This facility is operated by SBMWD, which provides combined domestic and
industrial wastewater treatment services to the Cities of San Bernardino and Lorna Linda, as well as the
East Valley Water District (EVWD) and Pallon State Hospital. The WRP has a design capacity of 33
million gallons per day (mgd). Current inflow to the WRP is approximately 26-28 mgd, resulting in 5-7
mgd of surplus capacity. Excess capacity exists at the WRP to accommodate sewer flows from the project
site.
Prior to the issuance of building permits, the project applicant will be required to satisfy SBMWD
requirements related to the payment of fees and/or the provision of adequate wastewater facilities. All
facilities will be designed, installed. and maintained to meet SBMWD standards. No significant impacts
related to the provision of sewer or wastewater treatment services are anticipated.
XV.f Based on a solid waste generation of 12.23 pounds per household per day (12.23 poundslhousehold/day x
52 households = 636 pounds per dayi, the proposed project is anticipated to generate approximately 116
tons of waste per year (0.32 ton/day). Solid waste from the proposed project will be collected by the City
of San Bernardino Refuse Department and transported to Colton Refuse Disposal Site, located in the City
of Colton, or to the San Timoteo Solid Waste Disposal Site, located in the City of Redlands. The Colton
landfill is permilled to accept a maximum of 3.100 tons of solid waste per day. The San Timoteo landfill
is permilled to accept a maximum of 1.000 tons of solid waste per day. The Colton landfill is expected to
reach capacity between 2005 and 2006. The Sltn- Timoteo landfill is expected to reach capacity at around
2016. but will be allowed to expand through pe!:!llilling past this date. Service fees will be charged to
individual property owners when service is initiated. Development of the proposed project will not
significantly impact current operation or the expected lifetime of these landfills or the impact the ability
of the Refuse Department to provide service; therefore. potential impacts associated with this issue are
less than significant.
XV.g The City of San Bernardino Public Service Depa~ment is subject to all Federal. State. and local statutes
regarding solid waste disposal. The proposed project will utilize the services provided by the City of San
Bernardino and will be subjeci to the same regulations as is the City. No impact is anticipated.

Mandatory Findings of Significance Discussion:
XVI.a No endangered or threatened species were identified on-site during the general or fOCused biological
resource surveys. Development of the proposed project will not cause a fish or wildlife population to drop
below self-sustaining levels or restrict the movement/distribution of a rare Or endangered species.
Development of the proposed project will result in the conversion of approximately 17.22 acres of open
space to residential uses. Potential impacts to nesting bird species will be mitigated to a less than
significant with adherence to MitigatIon Measure BIO-l. Because the project will not impact any
threatened or endangered species or habitat, no significant impact to biological resources will occur.
While one previously recorded historic period site was identified in the eastern portion of the property,
this site was not eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places or the California
Register of Historic Resources. Based on the site's lack of potential for archeologicallhistoric data and the
loss of historic integrity, the site does not meet the definition of a "historic resource" under CEQA. The
site is not connected with IOfal historic personalities, lacks historic integrity, and is of common design
and utility. There are no known unique ethnic or cultural values associated with the site, nor are there any
religious or sacred uses associated with the project site.
Development of the proposed residential uses will result in the elimination of the previously recorded
resource. Because the resource is not a "historic resource" and is not eligible for listing on either the

National Register of Historic no significant impact resulting from the development of residential and/or
elimination of the resource will occur.
Measures have been identified that would mitigate potential impacts associated with the discovery of as-
yet undetected subsurface cultural andlor paleontological resources during excavation operations.
Adherence to the measures identified will reduce potential impacts associated with cultural, historic, or
paleontological resources to a less than significant level.
The proposed project site is located within an area designated by the City for residential uses. The
southern ponion of the site has been previously disturbed. While shon -term construction-related air
quality and noise impacts would result from development of the proposed residential uses, adherence to
the measures identified in this Initial Study will mitigate these impacts to a less than significant level.
Other impacts related to on-site geologic and soil conditions. hydrology and water quality, hazards and
hazardous materials, archaeologicaVpaleontologic resources, and fire. protection services are similarly
reduced to a less than significant level through the implementation of mitigation measures and the
adherence to established City-mandated design and construction standards.
The project site has long been designated for residential development by the City of San Bernardino;
therefore, the cumulative effect of development of the proposed project site with single-family residential
dwellings has been previously considered by the City. The type, scale, and location of the proposed
project is consistent with City's General Plan and zoning designation and is compatible with the pattern
of development that has been approved for adjacent propenies. While development of the proposed
project will generate fugitive dust emissions in a region that exceed established State and/or Federal
standards for ozone and paniculate matter, this activity is shon term and levels of these emissions will not
exceed established SCAQMD thresholds. Thepotential cumulative impacts associated with development
of the proposed project are, therefore, less than significant.
As detailed in the preceding responses, development of the proposed project will not result, either directly
or indirectly, in adverse effects to human beings. No impact related to this issue will occur.

Response to Comment 1.2: In response to the Native American Heritage Commission's conunent
that a records search of the appropriate California Historic Resoun:es Information Center be

The 1991 cultural resource survey determined that the site was not elipible for inclusion on the
National Register of Historic Places. An archeological records and literature ~arch and an
archeological field survev of the nmiect site were conducted in October and -November 2004. The
findin2: of this most recent archeological survey concurrP..d with the tindin2: of the 1991 survev that
the site was not historic or archeolol!icallv sismificant. Furthennore. based on the site's lack of
notential for archeologicallhistoric data and the loss of historic integritv. neither the recorded site nor
the two isolates meet the definition of a Uhi~toric resource" under CEOA. The feature recorded durin~
the 1991 and 2004 field surveys are not connected with local historic nersonalities lack historic

Response to Comment 1-3: To mitigate for any potential impact to subsurface archeological or
paleontological resources that may be detected during ground disturbing activities. the Draft ISIMND
included Mitigation Measure CUL-I. which states:

Prior to the conunencement of ground-disturbing activities. the project applicant shall
provide evidence to the City that a qualified (as determined by the City) archaeologist
and/or paleontologist has been retained to monitor ground-disturbing activities. The
qualified archaeologist and/or paleontologist shall be on-site during any ground-
disturbing activities. In the event any archaeological. historical. or paleontologic
resource is uncovered during the course of the project development. ground
disturbing activities in the vicinity of the find shall be redirected until the nature and
extent of the find can be evaluated by a qualified monitor. Any such resource
uncoverec! during the course of project related grading or construction shall be
recorded and/or removed per the reco~ndations identified in the archeological and

4) All environmental investigations, sampling and/or remediation should be
" conducted under a Workplan approved and overseen by a regUlatory agency
that has jurisdiction to oversee hazardous waste cleanup. The findings and
f' sampling results from the subsequent report should be dearly summarized in 3-2
~.;.' the NO.
~
5) Proper investigation, sampling and remedial actions overseen by a regulatory
r agency, if necessary, should be conducted at the site prior to the new
development or any construction.
t 6) If any property adjacent to the project site Is contaminated with hazardous
chemicals, and If the proposed project Is within 2,000 feet from a &Orltaminated 3-3
sile, then the proposed development may fall within the "Border Zone of a
! . Contaminated Property: Appropriate pr~cautions should be taken prior to
~-, construction if the proposed project is within a "Border Zone Property."
;,,-..
r"4 7) If buDding structures, asphalt or concrete-paved surface areas or transportation
.." l\ structures are planned to be demolished, an investigation should be conducted
lJ
for the presence of lead-based paints or products, asbestos containing materials
B (ACMs), biohazards and other waste water chemicals of concern. If lead-based 3-4
0....' paints or products or ACMs, or other chemicals of concern are Identified, proper
....: precautions should be taken during demolition activities. Additionally, the
~ contaminants should be remedlated In compliance with California environmental
i regulations and policies.

t 8) The project construction may require soil excavation and soli filling In certain
'-' areas. Appropriate sampling is required prior to disposal of the exCavated soil.
; If the soil is contaminated, properly dispose of it rather than praclng It In another 3.5
r- location. land Disposal Restrictions (LDRs) may be applicable to these soils.
. ~.. Also. if the project proposes to Import soil to backfill the areas excavated. proper
sa!1lpllng should be conducted to make sure that the imported soli Is free of
contamination.
9) Human health and the environment of sensitive receptors should be prOtected
during the construction or demolition activities. A study of the site overseen by 3.6
the appropriate govemment agency might have to be conducted to determine if
-.-~ there are, have been, or will be, any releases of hazardous materials that may
pose a risk to hUrTlan health or the environment.

California Hazardous Waste Control Law (Califomla Health and Safety Code,
Division 20, chapter 6.5) and the Hazardous Waste Control RegUlations
(Califomla Code of Regulations, T1Ue 22, Division 4.5).
11) If It Is determined that hazardous wastes are or will be generated and the wastes
are (a) stored in tanks or containers for more than ninety days, (b) treated ensile,
or (c) disposed of onsite, then a permit from DTSC may be required. If so, the
facility should contact OTSC at (818) 551-2171 to initiate pre application 3-7
discussions and determine the permitting process applicable to the faCIlity.

Cer:taln hazardous waste treatment processes may require authorization from
the local Certified Unified Program~ency (CUPA). Information about the
requirement for authorizatIon can be obtained by contacting your local CUPA.
If the project plans include discharging wastewater to a storm drain, you may be
required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit from the overseeing Regional
Water Quality Control Board.
If during construction/demolition of the project, soil and/or groundwater
contamination Is suspected, constrlJctlonldemolition in the area should cease
and appropriate health and safety procedures should be implemented. If iI is
determined that contaminated soli and/or groundwater exist, the NO should
Identify how any required investigation and/or remediation will be conducted,
and the appropriate government agency to provide regulatory oversight.
Since' the property was used for agricultural operations, onsite sons may contain
pesticide and agricultural chemIcal residue. If the site was used for dairy and
catUe Industry operations, the soil may contain related dairy, animal, or
hazardous waste. If so. activities at the site may have contributed to soil and
groundwater contamination. Proper investigation and remedial actions, If
necessary, should be conducted at the site prior to construction of the project.

RESPONSE TO LETTER 3
Department of Toxic Substance Control
Greg Holmes, October 12, 2004
n.\
~
Response to Comment 3-1: While the Draft ISIMND stated no evidence of hazardous materials
contamination was noted within the project limits, to more thoroughly address hazardous material
issues, the project applicant contracted for the preparation of a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment. A field survey of the property was conducted on November 2, 2004. The field survey
and review of historical aerial photographs generally support the finding that the site has been largely
undeveloped since 1938. The southern portion of the project site had been disced resulting in the
removal of a significant amount of groundcover. No obvious drums, containers, fluids, spills, or other
evidence of hazardous materials were observed. A review of local, State, and federal regulatory
databases was conducted, including (but not limited to) the: National Priorities Ust (NPL);
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Uability Information System
(CERCUS); Resource Conservation and Recovery Information System (RCRIS); Emergency
Response and Notification System (ERNS); Cal-Sites Database; California Hazardous Material
Incident Report System (CHMIRS); Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites Ust (CORTESE); Solid
Waste Information System (SWIS); and Leaking Underground Storage Tank Information System
(LUST). The project site was not listed in any of the hazardous material databases consulted. No
significant environmental concerns or Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) were observed
on-site.

Response to Comment 3-2: To mitigate filNIny potential impact associated with the discovery of
previously unknown or unrecorded hazardous_materials, the Draft ISIMND included Mitigation
Measure HAZ-l, which states:
r
i
.
The City shall be immediately notified in the event malodorous or discolored soils,
liquids, containers. or other materials known or suspected to contain hazardous
materials andlor contaminants are encountered during on-site grading/construction.
Earthmoving activities in the vicinity of said material shall be halted until the extent
and 'nature of the suspect material is detennined by qualified personnel (as
detennined by the City.) The removal andlor disposal of any such contaminants shall
be in accordance with all applicable local, State, and Federal standards.
~
r.'
,
l.
Mitigation Measure HAZ-l has been retained in the Final ISIMND.
"
,
Response to Comment 3-3: Based on a search of regulatory databases included in the Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment, no property contaminated with hazardous chemicals is located
within 2,000 of the project site.
.,,;
Response to Comment 3-4: The project site is undeveloped. No structures, roadways, or facilities
containing lead based paints, asbestos, biohazards, or other waste chemicals were identified within
the limits of the property. ;

Response to Comment 3-5: As the proposed project does not require the expon of anyon-site soils.
To balance project grading, 24,000 cubic yards (cy) of soil will be imponed from Tentative Tract
16502, located directly south of the project site. As Tentative Tract 16502 is also under the control of
project applicant and is located within 2,000 feet of the project site, and because the Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment, did not identify any propeny contaminated with hazardous
chemicals within this radius, it is assumed that the soil imponed to balance to project site is free of
contamination.
'*
Response to Comment 3-6: As previously stated, no strUC\UJ"es are located within the limits of the
project site. As no on-site hazardous contamination has been identified, development of the proposed
residential uses will nOl release any hazardous materials that may pose a risk to human health.
f1
Response to Comment 3-7: The proposed project will result in the development of single-family
residential uses. The residential usage of household hazardous waste material (e.g., cleaners,
pesticides, fenilizers, paint products, and petroleum products) is anticipated to be small, and does nOl
present a significant hazardous material impact.
~.::.:
Response to Comment 3-8: In addition to preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP), the project applicant is required to prepare a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP).
The WQMP will identify measures to !reat andlor limit the entry of contaminants into the storm drain
system. The Draft ISIMND included Mitigation Measures HWQ.I through HWQ-4 to reduce the
significance of potential water quality impacts. These measures require compliance with the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements; preparation of a SWPPP and
WQMP, and the implementation of landscaping plans that control and minimizing the use of
fenilizerslpesticideslherbicides. Mitigation Measures HWQ.lthrough HWQ-4 has been retained in
the Final ISlMND.

Response to Comment 3-9: Please refer to the response to Comment 3-2.
,
f
f.a
Response to Comment 3-10: The site is nOl currently utilized for agricultural production.
Agricultural activities may have occurred on-site in the past. Based on the interpretation of historic
aerial photographs, any such agricultural use pre-dates 1938. Generally agriculturafchemicals would
nOl be detected in concentrations that present an environmental concern unless a specific facility can
be identified where these chemicals. were used or handled. No such facility, or the evidence of such a
facility, is present on-site. Dairying operations have nOl OCCUlTed on-site; therefore, no accumulation
of animal waste is present. No soil or groundwater contamination from agricultural chemicals or
animal waste has occurred; therefore, no additional investigation or remedial action is required.

MITIGATION MONITORING PLAN
This mitigation monitoring plan has been prepared for use in implementing certain of the conditions of approval for:
Tentative Tract No. 16533/Subdivision No. 03-211Conditional Use Permit No. 03-28
The prov-un has been prepared in compliance with State law and the Initial SlUdylMitigated Negative Declaration (ISIMND)
(SCH No. 2004091038) prepared for the project by the City of San Bernardino.
The California Environmental Quality Act requires adoption of a reporting or monitoring program for those measures placed on
a project to mitigate or avoid adverse effects on the environment (Public Resource Code Section 21081.6). The law states that
the reporting or monitoring program shaIl be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation.
The monitoring program contains the folIowing elements:
I}
The mitigation measures are recorded with the action and procedure necessary to ensure compliance. In some
instances, one action may be used to verify implementation of several mitigation measures.
2}
A procedure for compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This procedure designates
who wil\ take action, what action wiIl be taken and when, and to whom and when compliance wil\ be reported.
3}
The program has been designed to be flexible. As m9nitoring progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be
necessary based upon recommendations by those responsible for the program. As changes are made. new monitoring
compliance procedures and records will be developed and incorporated into the program.

water.
2. Is the design of the proposed subdivision consistent with the General Plan?
No, the proposed subdivision is not consistent with the General Plan in as much
as it is not consistent with Objective 1.14, which reads: .
"Provide for low-density residential development in the City's hillside
area and assure that this development occurs in a manner which protects
the hillsides ni'tural and topographic character and identity,
. environmental sensitivities, aesthetic qualities, and the public health,
safety, and general welfare. This protection is obtained by insuring that
development does not create soil erosion, silting of lower slopes, slide

damage, flooding problems, and severe cutting or scarring. It is the intent
to encourage a sensitive form of development while still allowing for
residential uses which complement the natural and visual character of the
City and its hillsides."
The proposed development cuts into the hillside and alters the natural
topographic character thus changing the visual character.
3. Is the site physically suitable for the type of proposed development?
Yes, the 37.2-acre site is physically suitable for the proposed residential
development. The tentative tract map conforms to the subdivision design
standards specified by the Development Code in that it will meet the minimum
lot size for the RL, Residential Low land use district after implementation of the
Conditions of Approval. All of the proposed lots contain sufficient buildable
area and will have direct access to a dedicated roadway. Connecting to the
existing infrastructure will provide water, sewer, power, gas, telephone, and
cable to the site.
4. Is the site physically suitable for the proposed density of development?
Yes, the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development in
that the division of land is consistent-with the Subdivision Map Act and the
. proposed lots will be compatible in design with the current Development Code
and the surrounding residential lots. The proposed density of the project is 1.29
units per gross acre, under the allowed 3.1 units per gross acre in the RL land use
district.
5. Is t/1e design of the subdivision likely to cause substantial environmental damage,
or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat?
No, Planning staff conducted a preliminary review (pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines) to determine the presence and extent of any environmental issues
that could result from the subdivision. This project would be subject to
mitigation measures in the Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program as
previously addressed. The modifications to the map do not affect or change any
of the conclusions in the Initial Study.
6. Is the design of the subdivision likely to cause serious public health problems?
,
No, the lots being created each have access to an existing or proposed dedicated
street. The design of the proposed subdivision meets all of the applicable
Tentative Tract Map No. 16533 & Conditional Use Permit No. 03-28
Hearing Date 02/23/05
Page 3
requirements for the RL, Residential Low land use district and is unlikely to
result in any public health problems.
7. Will the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements conflict with any
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property
within the proposed subdivision?
No, the easements identified in the Preliminary Title Report relate to utilities.
The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements will not conflict
with these easements, because any existing easements would be maintained,
abandoned or relocated by the Public Works/Engineering Division through
processing of the Final Map.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
1. Is the proposed use conditionally permitted within the subject land use district,
would it impair the integrity and character of the subject land use district, and
does it comply with all of the applicable provisions of this Development Code?
Yes, pursuant to Development Code Section 19.17.050, any development in the
Hillside Management Overlay District (HMOD) is permitted subject to the
approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed project will comply with all
applicable provisions of the Develop!!!.ent Code as shown in Conformance Table
. U AU in Tentative Tract Map Finding No.1, as addressed above.
2. Is the proposed use consistent with the General Plan?
No, as described in the Tentative Tract Map No. 16533 Finding No.2 (above), this
proposed project is not consistent with and would not implement the objectives
and policies of the General Plan.
3. Is the approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed use in compliance
with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and Section
19.20.030(6) of the Development Code?
Yes, the approval of the Conditional Use Permit is in compliance with the
requirements of both CEQA and Development Code Section 19.20.030(6).in as
much as the proposed project is subject to implementation and monitoring of the
mitigation measures in the Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program, as
previously addresseq.
,
4. Are there potentially significant negative impacts upon environmental quality
and natural resources that could not be properly mitigated and monitored?
Tentative Tract Map No. 16533 & Conditional Use Permit No. 03-28
Hearing Date 02/23/05
Page 4
No, as noted in Finding No.3, this project complies with CEQA and
Development Code requirements.
5. Are the location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use
compatible with the existing and future land uses within the general area in
which the proposed use is to be located and will it create significant noise, traffic
or other conditions or situations that may be objectionable or detrimental to other
permitted uses in the vicinity or adverse to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare of the City?
Yes, the applicant proposes to subdivide 37.2 acres to create 48 single-family
residential lots with a minimum lot size of 10,852 square feet, and two lettered
lots. One of the lettered lots (lot" A") is for dedication to the Water Department
for a pump-house, and the other (lot "B") is an open space lot. The open space
lot ("B") is approximately 20 acres, and includes the fuel modification area, a
portion of the Verdemont Trail system, maintenance access roads, and natural
open space. The proposed project complies with Development Code/General
Plan Standards of Development as outlined in Table" A" in Tentative Tract Map
No. 16533 Finding No. 1. The proposed project will also construct a 1-6 foot
retaining wall in the hillside along the east and west property boundaries.
Additionally, a drainage easement has been provided and water will be directed
from the easterly property boundary~Qtrough the proposed easement in lot 19.
6. Is the subject site physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use
being proposed?
No, the subject site is not physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of
use being proposed. The proposal is to subdivide 48 single-family residential
lots located at the base of the foothills out of a 37.2-acre site, more than half of
which is contained within the Hillside Management Overlay District. Although
the lots meet the standards for subdivisions in the RL, Residential Low land use
district, the proposed project would be too dense/ intense for the base of the
foothills, and the Hillside Management Overlay District. The lot size required in
the Development Code is a minimum and in this case the pad areas would be
relatively small due to the proposed interior slopes.
7. Are there adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and
services to ensure that 'the proposed use would not be detrimental to public health and
safety ?
Tentative Tract Map No. 16533 & Conditional Use Permit No. 03-28
Hearing Date 02/23/05
Page 5
Yes, all agencies responsible for reviewing access, and providing water and
sanitation and other public services have all had the opportunity to review the
proposal, and none have indicated an inability to serve the project. The proposal
will not be detrimental to the public health and safety in that all applicable Codes
will apply to the construction of this project.

Pursuant to Section 19.52.100 of the Municipal (Development Code), Steven Wollach
("Applicant"), hereby appeals the decision of the City of San Bernardino Planning
Commission to deny the following project: Tentative Tract map No. 16533 (Subdivision
No. 03-21) and Conditional Use Permit No. 03-28 ("Project").
Even though the proposed subdivision map and CUP was determined by the Planning
Commission to be consistent with the General Plan and Development Code, the project
was denied on February 23, 2005, on the following grounds:
I. that the proposed design of the subdivision is not consistent with the
General Plan, Objective 1.14; and
2. that the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density because it is
not consistent with the Hillside Management Overlay District.
Applicant hereby appeals this decision on the grounds that the proposed design is
consistent with the General Plan and density and density transfer guidelines as set forth in
the Hillside Management Overlay District of the Development Code. Applicant, and
applicants' consultants, designed the Project under the guidance of the
Development/Environmental Review Committee.
This appeal is based on this Application for Appeal, on the underlying records and files,
and upon such further oral and documentary evidence as may be presented at the time of
the" appeal hearing.
Applicant seeks a review of the decision by the Mayor and Common Council within 30
days of the filing date of this appeal.
