LOCATION The proposed amendment site is located at the northwest corner of 5th and Flores Streets and is comprised of two parcels that total approximately 0.77 acre. BACKGROUND The northwest corner of 5th Street and Flores Street is developed with an operating car wash on the parcel that fronts on Flores Street and a vacant commercial building on the parcel that fronts on 5th Street. The parcels that front on 5th Street, east of Flores Street contain a small apartment building, a church with parking and three (3) vacant parcels (see Exhibit B). The area to the north of these parcels contains single-family homes. The previous zoning was C-3A, Limited General Commercial, for the parcels at the northwest corner of 5th Street and Flores Street and on 5th Street between Flores Street and Gardena Street. The parcels on 5th Street east of Gardena Street were zoned C-2, Community Commercial. The residential area to the north was zoned R-2, TWo-Family Residential. The carwash is a non-conforming use within the RS designated area. The building on the southernmost parcel of the amendment site has been vacant for more than 180 days and has lost its non-conforming status. The parcel will have to be developed according to the requirements of the RS designation. MUNICIPAL CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE Municipal Code: Not applicable. General Plan: This request is to change the General Plan land use designation. ~ - CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING DEPARTMENT CASE GPA 89-2 OBSERVATIONS 41 2-6-90 , AGENDA ITEM HEARING DATE PAGE -.... CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT STATUS lCEOA) The General Plan Amendment is subject to. CEQA. The Environmental Review Committee reviewed the application on December 21, 1989 and determined that alternatives 1 and 2 would not have an impact on the environment and a Negative Declaration was recommended. However, the Environmental Review Committee recommended that an Environmental Impact Report be required for Alternative 3 due to possible crime problems associated with the development of apartments as identified by the police Department. A public review period was held from December 28, 1989 to January 10, 1990 to consider/review the Initial Study and the proposed Negative Declaration. COMMENTS RECEIVED No comments have been received. ANALYSIS Staff has identified a study area to better analyze the request and to determine impacts. The study area consists of the parcels between 5th and 6th Streets and Lytle Creek Wash and the parcels east of and fronting on Gardena Street. Exhibit A shows the boundaries and the surrounding land use designations. Staff has also evaluated two alternatives to the applicant's proposal. Alternative 1, Exhibit C, shows the applicant's proposal. Alternative 2, Exhibit D, proposes changing the designation of the amendment site and the parcels fronting on 5th Street to CG-l. Exhibit E is Alternative 3 proposed by staff to change the designation at the amendment site and the parcels fronting on 5th Street to RM, Residential Medium.

The objective of the RS designation is development of single-family detached units suburban setting." (General Plan Objective to "Promote the in a high quality loll) . 5th street is a major arterial and as such is not conducive to single-family development. General Plan Policy 6.1.5 in part states that the City is responsible for "...enforcing access standards regarding new driveways and other encroachments to arterial highways so as to minimize side frictions that are detrimental to safe and efficient functioning of arterials." In addition, policy 6.2.3 states that the City "Require, wherever possible, a buffer zone between residential land uses and highway facilities." Parcels fronting on and having access onto 5th street are not really intrinsic to the residential neighborhood to the north which is already developed and the neighborhood should not be considered part of the 5th street corridor. A designation of CG-1 permits a range of retail and office uses. The objective of the Community-Serving Commercial use, of which CG-1 is a part, is to: "Provide for the continued use, enhancement and new development of retail, personal service, entertainment, office and related commercial uses along major transportation corridors and intersections to service the needs of the residents: reinforcing existing commercial corridors and centers and establishing new locations as new residential growth occurs." (General Plan Objective 1.19). The RM designation permits a density of 14 dwelling units per gross acre. The present lot size would only permit duplexes to be developed along 5th Street. Any larger project would require lot combining. As RM designation would have the same concerns as RS as per General Plan Policies 6.1.5 and 6.2.3 which refer to side frictions and residential buffering. FINDINGS The change of designation to CG-1 for Alternative 1 will change the land use map only and is not in conflict with the '" .

Alternatives 1 and 2 will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the city. Alternative 3 has been determined by the Environmental Review Committee to be of possible concern in the areas of safety and welfare and would require an Environmental Impact Report to be initiated. All public services are available to the study development permissable under the designations Alternatives 1 through 3 would not impact on such area. Any proposed in services. The proposed amendment is to redesignate less than an acre of land so the balance of land uses within the city will be minimally impacted. The amendment site is physically suitable for the requested land use designation. Anticipated future land use has been analyzed in the Initial Study (attached) and it has been determined that project specific mitigation measures will be sufficient to eliminate any environmental impacts. CONCLUSION The proposed amendment (Alternative 1) is not in conflict with the Objectives and Polices of the General Plan. The car wash has been in operation prior to the adoption of the General Plan and the other commercial structure has been used for commercial purposes in the past. The continued commercial use will not impact the surrounding use nor will there be a negative impact on the environment. The Environmental Review Committee recommended a Negative Declaration. Alternative 2 should not be considered at this time as General Plan Amendment 90-1, which has been submitted during the processing of this case, will include the parcels along 5th Street east of Flores Street. Alternative 3, which proposes an RM designation at the amendment site and the parcels along 5th street, should not be considered.

It is comprised of two parcels of land, rectangular in shape, consisting of approximately 0.77 acres combined (Assessor's Parcel Nos. 138-081-18 and 19) . RS, Residential Suburban permits single family dwelling units at a density of 4.5 units per gross acre. CG-l, Commercial General permits a range of retail and office uses. To better analyze the request, Staff has defined a study area consisting of the parcels between 5th and 6th Streets and Lytle Creek Wash and the parcels east of and fronting on Gardena Street. Exhibit A shows the boundaries of the study area and the surrounding land use designations. Exhibit B shows the existing land uses and Exhibit C, Alternative 1, shows the amendment requested by the applicant. Alternative 2 (as shown on Exhibit D) proposes to change the land use designation from RS, Residential Suburban to CG-l, Commercial General for the parcels requested by the applicant and the parcels fronting on 5th Street.

RM permits multiple family dwelling units at a density of 14 units per gross acre. 2.1 AMENDMENT SITE AND STUDY AREA CHARACTERISTICS a. Amendment site The site is comprised of two developed parcels of land. The northernmost parcel that fronts on Flores Street has an operating car wash on it. The parcel that fronts on 5th Street contains a commericaljoffice structure and parking. b. Study Area The study area consists of the amendment site as described above and single family residences with the exception of 5th Street. The parcels along 5th Street contain a small apartment building and a small church with adjoining parking. The remainder of the parcels are vacant. North and northeast of the study area are single family residences. Omnitrans is located to the east of the study area and Nunez Park is to the southeast. South and southwest of the study area is vacant land and a flood control channel. The land to the west is vacant. 3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 3.1 Environmental Setting The amendment site is rectangular in shape, flat, and developed. It and the total study area is in an area of moderately high to moderate liquefaction. A high liquefaction zone is located on the south side of 5th Street. The San Jacinto Fault Zone is approximately 300 feet to the southeast of the project site. .J \.

The amendment site is developed and there would be no liquefaction impacts from a change in this land use designation as shown in Alternative 1. Alternative 2 would subject the properties fronting on 5th street to possible further commercial development. Development under Alternative 3 would be a change from the existing land use. Liquefaction potential can be mitigated through project specific design. This would apply to any additional uses or new uses constructed under any of the alternatives. There will be no unavoidable adverse impacts from adoption of Alternative 1, 2 or 3. 3.2.2 Noise 5. a,b. since the project site is developed, a land use designat~on change would not have an impact on the noise levels 1n the area. Future development of uses permitted in the CG-l or RM areas could be mitigated to ensure interior noise levels below 45 dB and exterior noise levels below 65 dB. In Alternative 2, future commercial development would buffer the single family residences from the 5th street traffic noise. Likewise, Alternative 3 would also buffer traffic noise, however, without combining lots the development would be limited to duplexes due to lot size. Such development is similar to single family residences in that it is difficult to mitigate private outdoor access. However, such development would not have a noise impact on the RS area. ~ It..

The proposal, and alternatives will change the General Plan Land Use designation. 3.2.4. Transportation/Circulation 9.a,b,c. A change to the land use designation as per Alternative 1 would not have an impact on traffic. Currently, 5th street handles 15,600 average daily trips (ACTs) adjacent to the study area. The daily capacity for 5th Street at this location is 30,000 ACTs. Future development on the amendment site of a traffic intensive use such as a fast food restaurant with drive through service could generate up to an additional 1500 ACTs. Such an increase could be absorbed by 5th Street. If, in the future, such a use was developed on the current location of the car wash, (Alternatives 1 & 2) then the Flores street ACTs of about 1000 could increase by 2 1/2 times. However, 80\ of the increase coud be anticipated to enter and exit via 5th Stret. There wouldn't be an impact to Flores Street as a result of this parcel redevelopment under Alternatives 1 & 2. Such a project would be reviewed for site specific access and traffic circulation impacts. Mitigating conditions, such as traffic signal installation, could be imposed if deemed necessary. If the land use designation was changed Alternative 3, and the area was developed of 30 dwelling units (at the rate of 14 per acre) then the ADTs would increase negligible impact on the study area. to RM, as in to the maximum dwelling units by 300 having a ~ .... r CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING DEPARTMENT INITIAL STUDY ...

Alternative 3 could impact police services because 5th Street is a well traveled arterial and apartments would generate additional people. Also, the area has a high crime rate according to the Police Department and the addition of apartments in the area could impact the ability to provide adequate police protection. 3.2.6. Aesthetics 12.b. Alternatives 1 through 3 in and of themselves will have no impacts on the aesthetics of the area. Specific projects will be reviewed for consistency with the General Plan and with all city codes. They will also be addressed for compatibility with the other uses within the study area.
