The GP A site is located along the north side of 6th Street and between Victoria Avenue and 7th Street to include the existing Veronica's Home site, vacant parcels and single-family homes. The project site is located at the southeast comer Victoria and Western Avenues. The General Plan Amendment (GPA) will allow the area to retain the residential land use designation and character. The change in land use designation would not limit, restrict or reduce permitted uses over the RS district. Specifically, the GPA will allow the existing Veronica's Home site to pursue additional social service programs in the future. The GPA and the CUP will assist Veronica's Home to expand and improve the availability and accessibility of community social service programs for the surrounding area. The proposal will relieve overcrowding conditions and provide needed spaces to provide social services to the surrounding community to women with children (Attachments A-I and A-2). The site has been designed with a 15,000 square foot, 2.5-story structure situated closest to the rear property line with parking on the west side and landscaping located around the project perimeter. The first floor contains a chapel, kitchen, nursery conference room and offices. The second floor contains 7- residence units (14 bedrooms), training room, and laundry area and the third floor contains 3-residence units (5 bedrooms), laundry area and two on-site staff units. The 10-residence units are one bedroom, 195 square feet (15'xI3') with a shared bathroom. The facility will provide on-site staff available 24 hours a day (Attachment A & B). There are two vehicular entrances to the project site on Victoria and Western Avenues. The building front entry will face Victoria A venue. Architectural treatments include prominent columns and projections facing Western Avenue, roofline cornice treatment, concrete tile roof, wainscot and other complementary architectural features. A 6-foot block wall will be constructed along the southerly and easterly property boundary. SETTING/SITE CHARACTERISTICS The General Plan Amendment site consists of 5.6-acres, made up of several parcels. The site is located along north side of 6th Street and between Victoria A venue and 7th Street to include the existing Veronica's Home site, vacant parcels and single-family homes. The surrounding uses to the north, east, south and west are residential neighborhoods in the RS, Residential Suburban land use district. The Conditional Use Permit site is currently vacant and is located within the General Plan Amendment area and consists of.5 acres situated at the southeast corner of Victoria and Western Avenues. Surrounding the site to the north, south, west and east are existing neighborhoods in the RS land use district. GPA NO. 02-03 CUP NO. 02-02 Page 3 BACKGROUND The DevelopmentJEnvironmental Review Committee (D/EDRC) first heard this project on May 30, 2002. At that time, the D/ERC determined that the proposal required revisions and the project was continued to allow sufficient time for the applicant to revise the plans incorporate applicable Development Code requirements. On June 26, 2003, the D/ERC reviewed the revised plans and circulated the Initial Study for a public review period beginning on July 3, 2003, and ending on July 22, 2003. No comments were received during the public review period. On July 24, 2003, the D/ERC determined that the revised site plan resolved the D/ERC's previous concerns and the proposed Initial Study adequately addressed the environmental issues and recommended that the Mitigated Negative Declaration be adopted and cleared the project to Planning Commission. Mary's Mercy Center, Inc. is a California non-profit organization and Veronica's Home of Mercy is one of the Ministries of Mary's Mercy Center, Inc. The existing Veronica's Home site within the proposed General Plan Amendment area has been at this location for many years providing social services with care housing for up to 12-residents. The facility functions similar to that of congregate care housing in that all common areas are shared such as kitchen and training rooms. The purpose of this proposal is to relieve over crowded conditions and accomplishes the following objectives: 1) Expand the availability of social services for women with children, and 2) Improve the accessibility of social services to surrounding areas for women with children. Based on the current conditions, Mary's Mercy Center finds it necessary to expand in order to continue to provide social services for women with children and other community outreach programs. Mary's Mercy Center, Inc. has been acquiring properties within the proposed General Plan Amendment area. Presently, Mary's Mercy Center currently owns more than 58% (8 parcels ofthe total 20 parcels/143,428 square feet) of the properties within the proposed GPA area. Mary's Mercy Center is seeking to acquire and assemble more properties for the purposes of future expansion. The existing facility currently administers and collaborates with several public agencies such as Cal State San Bernardino and Lorna Linda University Schools of Nursing, San Bernardino City Unified School District! Adult Education, San Bernardino County Prenatal Rehabilitation, Hase and Associates, Option House and the Girl Scouts Self-Reliance Program. FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 1. Is the proposed amendment internally consistent with the General Plan? Yes, the proposed amendment is consistent with General Plan GoallA that states: "Provide for the continuation and development of sufficient land use to serve the housing, commercial educational, cultural, recreational, and social needs of existing residents and population growth." GPA NO. 02-03 CUP NO. 02-02 Page 4 The proposed amendment will enable the project to provide social services with congregate care housing for area residents. The proposed amendment will also allow the existing Veronica's Home to pursue additional social service programs in the future. 2. Is the proposed amendment detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City? No, the proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety and welfare of the City. The proposed amendment will allow the area to retain the residential character and the proposed use will be consistent with the RU-I district. The change in land use designation would not limit, restrict or reduce permitted uses over the RS district. It is anticipated that operation of the proposed social services center with congregate care housing will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare of the City. This is because all social service activities are conducted within an enclosed structure. 3. Does the proposed amendment maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City? Yes, the proposed amendment will not affect the balance of land uses within the City. The proposed amendment area is adjacent to other residential uses in the RS land use district and is consistent with the General Plan goal and policy as mentioned in Finding No.1. 4. Is the subject parcel physically suitable (including, but not limited to, access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested land use designation and anticipated land use development? Yes, the subject parcel is physically suitable for the requested land use designation and anticipated land use development. This is because all required utilities, public services and urban infrastructure are already in place and can adequately serve the site. All agencies responsible for reviewing access, and providing water, sanitation and other public services have all had the opportunity to review the proposal, and none have indicated an inability to serve the project based on the change in land use designation. FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT I. Is the proposed use conditionally permitted within, and would not 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 19.04.030(2)(Q)&(T), a Social Services Center with congregate care housing is an allowed use in the RU-l, Residential Urban land use district, subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed project complies with all applicable provisions of the Development Code and General Plan as shown in Table A below: GPA NO. 02-03 CUP NO.. 02-02 Page 5 TABLE A - Develooment Code/General Plan Conformance CATEGORY PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT GENERAL PLAN CODE Permitted Use Social Services Center with Permitted subject to N/A Congregate Care Housing Conditional Use Permit Height 2.5 story 2.5 story 2.5 story 33 feet maximum 35 feet maximum 35 feet Setbacks - Front 25 feet 25 feet N/A - Side 5 feet 5 feet N/A - Rear 10 feet 10 feet N/A - Side Street 15 feet 15 feet N/A Landscaping 6,080 square feet - Total 3,375 square feet N/A 27% 15% Lot Coverage 26% 35% N/A Parking To be determined - Standard 16 spaces (*) (case by case) N/A - Handicap 2 spaces Density 19 dulac (**) 8 dulac N/A (*) See Finding No.5 for discussion. (**) See Finding No.6 for discussion. 2. Is the proposed use consistent with the General Plan? Yes, the proposed use is consistent with General Plan Policy 1.24.13 that states: "Permit the development of cultural, social, educational, and other community-serving facilities and organizations.." The proposed amendment will further the necessary development to serve the needs of women with children including but not limited to women of domestic violence, homeless women with children and pregnant women with children in the surrounding area. The proposed project will promote and implement General Plan Policy 1.24.13. 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, approval of this Conditional Use Permit for the proposed use is in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Development Code GPA NO. 02-03 CUP NO. 02-02 Page 6 Section 19.20.030(6) pertaining to environmental resources and constraints. Pursuant to Public Resources Code and CEQA guidelines, the Initial Study for the proposed project was filed with the County of San Bemardino and circulated for a public review period begirming on July 3, 2003, and ending on July 22,2003. A copy of the Initial Study document was also made available to the public at the City's Planning Division and Feldheym Library. No comments were received on the Initial Study. This process covers the mandated CEQA requirements. 4. Are there potentially significant negative impacts upon environmental quality and natural resources that could not be properly mitigated and monitored? There are no significant negative impacts upon environmetal quality and natural resources that could not be properly mitigated and monitored. The Initial Study prepared for the proposal identified short-term impacts relating to earth resources, air quality and noise. The short term impacts will occur due to proposed construction activities. hnpacts to earth resources, air quality and noise can be mitigated by measures included in Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (Attachment F). These mitigation measures will reduce short-term impacts to less than significant. No long-term or operational environmental impacts were identified. 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? The location, size, design and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with the existing and future land uses within the general area. The proposed project will not 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. This is because the scale of the proposed development is similar to that of the existing surrounding residential area. The project site is located in the RU-l district that permits the development of social service with congregate care housing. Since the proposal is consistent with both the General Plan and Development Code, no land use conflict impacts will result from the construction and operation of the proposal. Additionally, the proposed project complies with Development Code/General Plan Conformance Standards as defined in Table A, except for the following: Parkin!!:: Pursuant to Development Code Section 19.24.030(6), the parking requirements for the Director shall determine uses not specifically listed based upon the requirements for comparable uses and particular characteristics of the use. In accordance with the site layout, 16 stalls are provided. However, based on the staffing levels and the applicant's business operational plan, the provided 16 parking stalls are sufficient for the proposed uses (Attachment H). GPA NO. 02-03 CUP NO. 02-02 Page 7 6. Is the subject site physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use being proposed? Yes, the site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of the project being proposed as evidenced by project compliance with all applicable Development Code Standards as in noted above in Table 'A' except the following: Densitv: The RU-I district permits 8 units per gross acre. Based on this, only 4.13-residential units (i.e. apartments) would be allowed. However, as outlined in the project description, this facility is more like a congregate care facility than a typical multi-family project. Each resident will have a separate bedroom and shares a bathroom with the adjacent bedroom. The kitchen, dining area, living areas, training areas, and chapel are shared by all of the residents, including staff. Therefore, a like-to-like comparison of density cannot be made. The facility was designed to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, while meeting the needs of Mary's Mercy Center. Attachment I contains information regarding the various services/programs provided and the shortfalls in providing the same. In addition, Mary's Mercy Center believes that the need for these services is growing. 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? All agencies responsible for reviewing access, and providing water, 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. CONCLUSION The proposal meets all necessary Findings of Fact for approval of General Plan Amendment No. 02-03 and Conditional Use Permit No. 02-02. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the Mayor and Common Council: I. Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program (Attachment F), 2. Approve General Plan Amendment No. 02-03 based upon the Findings of Fact contained in this Staff Report, and; 3.

Description of Project (Describe the whole action involved, including but not limited to later phases of the project, and any secondary, support, or off-site features necessary for its implementation.): The proposed project consists of the following components: a General Plan Amendment (GPA) to change the land use designation of approximately 5.6 acres from RS, Residential Suburban to RU-I, Residential Urban and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to construct a 15,000 square foot, 2.5-story dormitory building located at the southeast comer of Victoria and W estern Avenues to provide social services for women with children. The General Plan Amendment area encompasses various parcels along the north side of 6th Street to include the existing Veronica's Home of Mercy (VHM) site, vacant parcels, and single-family homes. Specifically, the GP A will allow the existing VHM site to pursue additional social service programs in the future. The GP A will allow the area to retain the residential land use designation of RU-I district. The change in land use designation would not limit, restrict or reduce permitted uses over the RS district. The GPA and the CUP will accomplish the following objectives: I) expand the availability of social services for women with children, 2) improve the accessibility of social services to surrounding areas for women with children and 3) provide additional area to accommodate and provide social services for women with children (Attachment A). CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO "LANNING AND BUILDING SERVIl;ES INITIAL STUDY The specific project site is relatively flat and vacant. The site has been designed with a 15,000 square foot, 2.5-story dormitory structure situated on a .5 acres site located the southeast corner of Victoria and Western Avenues with parking in front and landscaping located around the project perimeter. The first floor contains a chapel, kitchen, nursery conference room anq offices. The second floor contains 15 residence units, training room, and laundry area and the third floor contains 5 residence units and 2 on-site managers units. The proposed 15,000 square foot building will provide on-site staff available 24 hours a day. There are two vehicular entrances to the project site on Victoria Avenue and Western Avenue. The building front entry will face Victoria Avenue. Architectural treatments include: prominent front entry projection facing Western Avenue, roofline treatment, concrete tile roof, and other architectural complementary features. A 6-foot block wall will be constructed along the southerly and easterly property boundary. 8. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The General Plan Amendment and the specific project site are located within the west side neighborhood of the City of San Bernardino. The site is approximately I mile west of the 1-215 Freeway and is characterized by older single family homes developed in the late 1940's and the 1950's. Schools, parks, churches and other public facilities are also found in the surrounding area. Surrounding the site to the north, west, south and east are single-family residential neighborhood in the RS, Residential Suburban land use district. Table I identifies surrounding land use and zoning.

LAND USE PLANNING a) The proposed 15,000 square foot dormitory building to provide social services for women with children is not permitted in the current land use designation of RS, Residential Suburban. However, two applications, a GP A to change the land use designation from RS, Residential Suburban to RU-I, Residential Urban and a CUP to construct the proposed building, have been filed. Pursuant to Development Code Section 1904.020, Table 04.01 (6) (E), a social service organization is conditionally permitted in the RU-I district. Specifically, the GPA will allow the existing VHM site to pursue additional social service programs in the future. The GP A will also allow the area to retain the residential land use designation of RU-I district. The change in land use designation would not limit, restrict or reduce permitted uses over the RS district. Based on this, no land use impacts are anticipated to result from the establishment of the dormitory building to provide social services for women with children or the proposed amendment to the Land Use Plan/Zoning District Maps. b) The project does not lie within the boundaries or the vicinity of the Air Installation Compatible Land Use Zoning District Map, thus no impacts are anticipated. c) The project site does not lie within the boundaries of the Foothill Fire Zones thus no impact is anticipated. II. POPULATION AND HOUSING a-c) The project site is currently vacant; therefore the project will not displace any existing housing. The project will not induce growth since the majority ofthe surrounding land uses are currently developed with single-family residential land uses. Thus no impact is anticipated. III. EARTH RESOURCES aIb) The site is relatively flat. No portion of the site exceeds 15% slope, and no cut or fill is proposed on slopes with greater than 15% slope, thus no impact is anticipated. c) The proposed project does have a potentially significant impact for erosion, dust or unstable soil conditions during site grading and construction. The project contractor will be required to comply with the requirements of The City of San Bernardino and to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The Earth Resources (ER) mitigation measures at the end of this section will ensure that the project will have a less than significant impact on erosion, dust and unstable soils. d) The project site is not located within the boundaries of the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone as defined by Figure 47 ofthe City's General Plan. No impact is anticipated. 14 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVKES INITIAL STUDY e) The proposed project site does not contain any unique geologic or physical features based upon a field review, thus no impact is anticipated. t) The project site is not located within an area known to be prone to high winds and wind erosion as identified in Section 12.0-Geologic & Seismic, Figure 53, of the City's General Plan. No impact is anticipated. g) The project site does not lie within or adjacent to any channel, creek, or river, therefore no impact is anticipated. h) The project site is not located within an area subject to landslides, mudslides, subsidence, or other similar hazards according to Section 12-Geologic & Seismic, Figures 48, 51, 52, and 53 of the City's General Plan. No impact is anticipated. i) The project site does not lie within an area subject to the hazards ofliquefaction as shown in Section l2-Geologic & Seismic, Figure 48 of the City's General Plan, thus no impacts are anticipated. ER-l An erosion control plan will be required, certified by the project engineer, and reviewed and approved by Public Works Division, prior to issuance of a grading permit. ER-2 The project proponent will be required to submit site-specific geotechnical reports to the City Engineer prior to the issuance of grading permits. These reports will be required to detail the ' appropriate soil excavation techniques required to ensure that the proposed buildings are located on properly compacted pads. During site grubbing and grading activities, the site will be subject to wind and water erosion. The City, however, requires the preparation and implementation ofPMlO plans prior to the issuance of grading permits. The PM 1 0 plan for the proposed project will mitigate the potential impacts associated with wind erosion. The project will also, as a component of its grading permit, prepare an erosion control plan to address water erosion issues. V. WATER a) The proposed project will result in the construction of a 15,000 square foot, 2.5-story, dormitory building with parking, driveways and landscaping on lands currently vacant. The installation of 27% landscaping on the site will allow for the percolation of water into the ground. The on-site landscaped areas will be utilized for percolation through a method as deemed appropriate by the Water Department. Thus the proposed project will have a less than significant impact on ground water recharge. b) The proposed project will not alter the course or flow of flood waters according to the Public Works Staff, thus no impact is anticipated. c & d) The proposed project will not create changes in the quantity of ground water, the quality of groundwater will be mitigated through the mitigation required in item "c" above, and thus no impact is anticipated. e) The proposed project does not lie within an area identified in the Federal Emergency 15 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVICES INITIAL STUDY Management Agency's Flood Insurance Rate Maps and thus no impact is anticipated due to flood hazards. V. AIR QUALITY a. The proposed project could generate approximately 42 trips per day I The primary source of pollutants from the proposed project will be vehicular emissions. The project will not exceed SCAQMD thresholds. With implementation ofthe measures outlined below, the proposed project is not forecast to expose sensitive receptors to air pollutant emissions above the air emission thresholds set by the SCAQMD. However, construction activities will also result in short-term air quality impacts associated with the operation of construction equipment. The primary source of emissions will be associated with site grubbing and grading. Once again, the proposed project is not expected to exceed the SCAQMD thresholds of significance. The proposed project will generate dust during grading activities, and in periods of high winds until construction is completed. In order to mitigate this impact, the City requires the preparation and approval ofPMIO management plans, which shall be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Division. In addition, the project proponent shall implement the following mitigation measures to mitigate the potential impacts on air quality during construction activities: I) The project proponent shall ensure that construction equipment shall be properly maintained and serviced to minimize exhaust emissions. .

There is no impact and no mitigation is required. d) The proposed project does not consist of operations that can be cause any objectionable odors to be generated that qm be measured. Impacts are forecast to be less than significant and no mitigation is required. VI. TRAFFIC/CIRCULATION a) The proposed project was examined by the Traffic Engineers in the Public Works Division and determined that a Traffic Study will not be required due to the scope of the project. The proposed project is of a scale that although traffic will increase incrementally, it is a less than significant impact. 17 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVICES INITIAL STUDY b) The proposed two entrances, one on Victoria A venue and the other on W estern Avenue will not result in a significant alternation in existing circulation patters. The entrances will merely allow for entrance and egress of vehicular traffic to the project site. No impact is anticipated. c) The proposed project does not create a disjointed pattern of roadway improvements and no impact is anticipated. d) The proposed project does not impact rail or air traffic and no impact is anticipated. e) The proposed project when developed with a 15,000 square foot dormitory-like building will be required to supply a minimum on-site parking of 16 stalls. This will conform to the . requirements of Section 19.24 of the Development Code. Furthermore, pursuant to the Veronica's Home of Mercy "Resident Handbook", residents are not allowed to have, use or rent motorized vehicles. Based on this, no impact is anticipated. f) The proposed project will not result in any increase in safety risks to vehicular, pedestrian, or bicycle traffic. No impact is forecast and no mitigation is required. g) The proposed project will not conflict with existing policies regarding alternative transportation and no impact is anticipated. h) The project will not result in any significant impact to emergency access or in access to nearby uses. No impact is anticipated. VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES a-e) The project site does not lie within the Biological Resources Overlay as identified in Section 10-Natural Resources, Figure 41 of the City's General Plan. The site does not contain, nor is it adjacent to any wetland habitat and no impact is anticipated. f) The project is currently vacant and does not contain any mature trees based on the submitted field photos and site visits. No impact is anticipated. VIII. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES a - c) The project site is not designated by the State and the City's General Plan Zoning Map as a mineral resource zone. Based on this, the site does not contain any known mineral resources that would be offuture value to the region. Furthermore, the project site is surrounded by existing residential neighborhoods. The City has adopted building codes that require implementation of energy conservation measures for new development. Implementation of these design and construction standards is considered adequate compliance with energy conservation goals and policies. The additional energy demand resulting from the project is a less than significant impact. No mitigation is required. 18 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVICES INITIAL STUDY IX. HAZARDS a - d) The project will be a senior housing complex. The project will not use, transport or dispose of hazardous or toxic materials based information contained in the Preliminary Environmental Description Form No. G(l) and G(2) (including, but not limited to, oil, pesticides, chemicals or radiation). The project will not involve the intentional release of any hazardous substances and no impact is forecast. The project will not expose people to any significant health or safety hazards that have not already been previously addressed under the air quality and water resource discussion sections. No mitigation is required. X. NOISE a-c) It is anticipated that short-term construction noise may affect residences to the north, south, west and east during on-site construction from equipment and vibration from excavation and grading. In order to ensure that the noise impacts associated with the construction and operations are reduced to a less than significant level, the applicant shall comply with the following mitigation measures: . All construction activities shall be limited to the hours of 7 am to 7 pm, Monday through Friday. . All construction vehicles shall have mumers and be maintained in good operating order at all times. No vehicle repair shall be permitted at the project site. . All trucks waiting to be loaded or unloaded with construction materials shall not be left to idle for more than 10 minutes. . During construction, best efforts should be made to locate stockpiling and/or vehicle staging areas as far as practicable from existing residential dwellings. XI. PUBLIC SERVICES a- g) The development of the site will increase the demand on fire, police, medical aid, schools, parks and recreation, solid waste and other governmental services. Standard requirements for fire protection facilities, building design, and site access have been reviewed and approved by the City of San Bernardino Fire Department and incorporated into the project design. The project as proposed meets the City's current standards for fire protection. Any impacts of the proposed project on public services are expected to be less than significant. XII. UTILITIES a - b) The proposed project is adjacent to existing commercial activities to the west and residential development to the south. The project may create demands for natural gas and electricity beyond what is currently existing at the site. However, this slight increase is well within the existing service capability of the City for projected buildout and the associated impacts are forecast to be less than significant. No mitigation is required. 19 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVICES INITIAL STUDY c) The proposed project will use the existing commercial telephone company providing service to the area which is General Telephone. As such, this project will have no adverse impact on the areas communication system. No significant communication system is forecast to occur, no mitigation is required. d) Based on the availability of groundwater in the area and the current groundwater recharge policies, it is concluded that the City has adequate water supplies to serve this project. This is consistent with the conclusions in the City General Plan that determined that adequate water resources are available for full development of the city. No mitigation is required. e) The proposed project is forecast to generate an additional amount of wastewater that will require treatment at the regional treatment plant. The City General Plan EIR projected cumulative sewage flows at City buildout of 14.1 million gallons per day. As a result, the regional plant has been significantly expanded over the past several years, and currently has about 9 million gallons per day excess treatment capacity currently available. Any additional demand on this system is well within the excess treatment capacity. Adequate sized sewer collection lines occur in the adjacent streets to transport the wastewater generated by the project to the regional plant. With adequate cumulative capacity to meet the project's needs, no potential for significant impact to the wastewater treatment and collection system is forecast to occur and no mitigation is required. t) Potential impacts to the stormwater drainage system are evaluated in Water Section a. 'No significant impacts to the storm drain system were identified with this proposed project. g) The project site is located in a developed residential area that has adequate utility service to provide for additional demands. Utility systems are in place to serve the surrounding areas and are planned to provide service to the project site. No impact is anticipated. h) No other impacts are forecast to occur and no mitigation is required. XIII. AESTHETICS a - b) The proposed project is located within a developed area and no significant or important scenic views have been identified within the area. The proposed project has no potential to affect existing views. The site will be developed with a nice 3-story design complex with well maintained landscaped areas. This will be an improvement to the site which is vacant and unimproved. Impacts are forecast to be less than significant and no mitigation is required. c) The proposed project has been design to comply with Development Code for architectural design guidelines for light and glare. All lighting and glare will be controlled through the design and use of materials and color so that the lighting and glare will not spill over to adjacent properties. Based on this, impacts are forecast to be less than significant and no mitigation is required. 20 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVICES INITIAL STUDY d) No other impacts are forecast related to visual resources and no mitigation is required. XIV. CULTURAL RESOURCES albic) The site is not within a sensitive archaeological area as identified in Section 3.0 B Historical, Figure 8, of the City's General Plan. Therefore, no further investigations are recommended and the resulting impact is less than significant. However, if any artifacts are uncovered during construction all work will cease immediately and the contractor (or site superintendent) shall contact the San Bernardino Museum to have a qualified archeologist inspect the artifacts and determine the appropriate course of action. XV. RECREATION albic) Development of the project site will result in an incremental need for additional recreation facilities. There are parks and recreational opportunities in the neighbors. Also, the proposed project is at a small enough scale where the impacts will not be significant to any of the neighborhood or regional parks or recreational activities in the area. XVI. MANDA TORY FINDING OF SIGNIFICANCE a) The Initial Study identified short-term impacts to air quality and noise with development of the proposed project. There were no expected impacts to the biological setting including habitat and access corridors. The Initial Study also identifies potential impacts to eartIi resources and water quality, however these potential impacts can be mitigated by implementation of best management practices and are regulated by the City of San ~ernardino and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. The short term impacts to air quality and noise will occur due to proposed construction activities. All potential impacts can be mitigated to reduce project-related impacts to a less than significant level. b) The development of the project will contribute incrernentally to the impacts associated with development in the area, including traffic, ambient noise, lighting, etc. The project is compatible with development in the surrounding area and is consistent with the General Plan and no impact is anticipated. c) The project has minor impacts to air quality in the area which are cumulative to the existing conditions in the non-attainment basin as discussed in the Air Quality section of this Initial Study. The impacts created by this project are minor and the appropriate mitigation measures are being implemented in order to lessen the potential impacts to a less than significant level. d) The development of the site as proposed would not cause adverse impacts on humans, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identified construction-related emissions criteria as having a potential impact, however, proposed mitigation measures will reduce the impacts to less than significant. Additionally, impacts related to air quality are short term and will cease once construction activities are completed. 21 ATTACHMENT F CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 02-02 MITIGATED MONITORINGIREPORTING PROGRAM This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared to implement the mitigation measures outlined in the Program Environmental Impact Report for Conditional Use Permit No. 02-02. This program has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State and City of San Bernardino CEQA Guidelines. CEQA Section 21081.6 requires adoption of a monitoring and/or reporting program for those measures or conditions imposed on a project to mitigate or avoid adverse effects on the environment. The law states that the monitoring or reporting program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program contains the following elements: 1. The mitigation measures are recorded with the action and procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The program lists the mitigation measures contained within the Initial Study. 2. A procedure for compliance and verification has been outlined for each mandatory mitigation action. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom and when compliance will be reported. 3. The program contains a separate Mitigation Monitoring and Compliance Record for each action. On each of these record sheets, the pertinent actions and dates will be logged, and copies of permits, correspondence or other data relevant will be retained by the City of San Bernardino. 4. The program is designed to be flexible. As monitoring progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon recommendations by those responsible for the program. If changes are made, new monitoring compliance procedures and records will be developed and incorporated into the program. The individual measures and accompanying monitoring/reporting actions follow. They are numbered in the same sequence as presented in the Program EIR. MITIGATION MEASURES III. EARTH RESOURCES c) The proposed project does have a potentially significant impact for erosion, dust or unstable soil conditions during site grading and construction. The project contractor will be required to comply with the requirements of The City of San Bernardino and to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The Earth Resources (ER) mitigation measures at the end of this section will ensure that the project will have a less than significant impact on erosion, dust and unstable soils. ER-l An erosion control plan will be required, certified by the project engineer, and reviewed and approved by Public Works Division, prior to issuance of a grading permit. ER-2 The project proponent will be required to submit site-specific geotechnical reports to the City Engineer prior to the issuance of grading permits. These reports will be required to detail the appropriate soil excavation techniques required to ensure that the proposed buildings are located on properly compacted pads. During site grubbing and grading activities, the site will be subject to wind and water erosion. The City, however, requires the preparation and implementation of PM 1 0 plans prior to the issuance of grading permits. The PM 1 0 plan for the proposed project will mitigate the potential impacts associated with wind erosion. The project will also, as a component of its grading permit, prepare an erosion control plan to address water erosion issues. IMPLEMENTATION AND VERIFICATION Public Works and Planning staff shall review this development project. COMPLIANCE RECORD When Required: The verification shall be completed prior to project approval. WRITTEN VERIFICATION PREPARED BY: DATE PREPARED: V. AIR DUALITY a. The proposed project could generate approximately 42 trips per dayl The primary source of pollutants from the proposed project will be vehicular emissions. The project will not exceed SCAQMD thresholds. With implementation of the measures outlined below. the proposed project is not forecast to expose sensitive receptors to air pollutant emissions above the air emission thresholds set by the SCAQMD. However, construction activities will also result in short-term air quality impacts associated with the operation of construction equipment. The primary source of emissions will be associated with site grubbing and grading. Once again, the proposed project is not expected to exceed the SCAQMD thresholds of significance. The proposed project will generate dust during grading activities, and in periods of high winds until construction is completed. In order to mitigate this impact, the City requires the preparation and approval ofPMlO management plans, which shall be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Division.

D. # 33-0632426 June 6, 2002 OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM AND EXPANSION OF VERONICA'S HOME OF MERCY V e~onica's Home of Mercy targets the homeless adult pregnant woman and her children, prenatal to seven years, in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. The program's objectives are; a safe, loving and healthy living environment; physical and emotional needs met; rehabilitation/recovery from substance, physical and emotional abuse, domestic education with a large emphasis on parenting; formal education; prevention/intervention of abuses, and socially accepted behavior. Veronica's Home of Mercy is a long-term transitional home, thus, there is not a time limit for a family. If they are making steady progress, showing sincerity of attitude and actions, they may stay in residence one, two, or three years. The average length of residency is 12 months. Our residents are not allowed to have a car while in residency. If they should have one, we ask them to put it in storage until such time as they finish their program at Veronica's Home of Mercy. In order to provide a program of quality, we collaborate with the following agencies: CaI-State San Bernardino and Loma Linda University Schools of Nursing, San Bernardino City Unified School District! Adult Education, San Bernardino County Pre-natal Rehabilitation, Hase and Associates, Option House, and the Girl Scouts Self-Reliance Program. Veronica's Home of Mercy address the problems in our society of substance abuses, domestic violence, lack of choice to abortion as the only solution, lack of formal education and/or homelessness among the adult pregnant population. At any given time, the home accommodates 10-12 women and 20-25 children; approximately 75% are prenatal to five years. Women often times are able to regain custody of their children and in those cases we will take children up 12 years old. With the expansion of Veronicas Home of Mercy we will be able to accommodate at least twice the aforementioned number. The first six months of this fiscal year, 2002-2003, we have documentation showing calls from 127 families. Of these 127 women, 30 were pregnant; those families represented 229 children of which approximately 75% were 0-5 years. In addition, there were 10 pregnant teenagers and 18 men with children who were victims of substance abuse, domestic violence and/or homeless, searching for a home or facility that could help them. The barriers these women face, which are addressed at Veronica's Home of Mercy are; + Access to nutritious foods + Access to transportation + Access to medical treatment and/or professional advice + Lack of knowledge of the 'system', their rights and where to fmd this information + Lack of formal education + Lack of self-esteem + Lack of follow-up services; a support system " Qo and find ouf fhe meaning of mercy" Wf. 9:13.
