CODE AMENDMENT NO. 97-01
Mayor and Common Council meeting of June 16, 1997

APPLICANT:
Main Street, Inc.
201 N. "E" St., #104
San Bernardino, CA 92346
REQUEST/LOCATION: A request by Main Street, Inc. for: an amendment to Section
19.02.050 of the Development Code to add new definitions for Artist Colony, Microbrewery,
Mobile Vendor and Sales and Production of Handicraft Items; and to add specific standards to
Section 19.06.030(2) for the above listed definitions. Also requested is a general plan
amendment to add a new Policy 1.16.19 to the General Plan to permit the establishment of the
proposed uses in the CR-2, Commercial Regional-Downtown land use district.
BACKGROUND: In the course of pursuing new businesses to locate in the downtown area,
Main Street has determined that the defined uses in the Development Code do not adequately
describe the types of uses that are important to revitalization of the downtown area and that are
interested in locating there. As a result, they have requested this Development Code
Amendment and General Plan Amendment.
KEY ISSUES: There is one key issue which has been identified as follows:
Mobile Vendors, as proposed, will only be permitted in the CR-2 land use district,
subject to permitting and approval by Main Street, Inc. The City Clerks Office had
recommended against the proposed Mobile Vendor provision of the Development Code
Amendment. The Planning Commission, at its May 20th public hearing believed that
Main Street, Inc., through its permitting process, would be able to adequately control the
number, appearance and location of the mobile vendors.
ENVIRONMENTAL DISCUSSION: An initial study recommending a Negative Declaration
was prepared and reviewed by the ERC on March 27, 1997 and was out for public review from
April 3 to April 23, 1997. No comments were received and it was cleared to Planning
Commission on April 24, 1997.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission voted 8 to
o (Gonzalez, Hamilton, Lockett, Quiel, Reilly, Schuiling, Suarez and Thrasher) to recommend
adoption of the Negative Declaration and approval of General Plan Amendment No. 97-01 and
Development Code Amendment No. 97-01 based upon the Findings of Fact contained in the May
20, 1997 staff report (Exhibit 1).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council approve
General Plan Amendment No. 97-01 and Development Code Amendment No. 97-01 to add
additional permitted uses, including mobile vendors, in the CR-2 land use designation, based
upon the Findings of Fact.

REQUEST AND LOCATION - A request by Main Street, Inc. for: an amendment to Section
19.02.050 of the Development Code to add new definitions for Artist Cqlony, Microbrewery,
Mobile Vendor and Sales and Production of Handicraft Items; and to add specific standards to
Section 19.06.030(2) for the above listed definitions. Also requested is a general plan
amendment to add a new Policy 1.16.19 to the General Plan to permit the establishment of the
proposed uses in the CR-2, Commercial Regional-Downtown land use district.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION - The proposed changes to the Development Code and General Plan
text are shown on Attachments A and B.
BACKGROUND - Main Street, Inc. is responsible for bringing economic revitalization to the
downtown area. In the course of pursuing new businesses to locate in the downtown area, Main
Street has determined that the defined uses in the Development Code do not adequately describe
the types of uses that are important to revitalization of the downtown area and that are interested
in locating there. As a result, they have requested this Development Code Amendment and
General Plan Amendment.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS - An initial study was prepared and reviewed by the ERC on
March 27, 1997 and was out for public review from April 3 to April 23, 1997. No comments
were received and it was cleared to Planning Commission on April 24, 1997.
The newly defined uses are intended to help bring businesses to the downtown that will be
successful in the long term. It is also expected that these businesses will be able to re-use
existing buildings, thereby preserving quality older buildings that have been a part of San
Bernardino's history. The types of uses proposed have been introduced in other cities and towns
as part of successful revitalization efforts and have become anchors to draw people back to those
areas.
Staff does have concerns with the request for mobile vendors in the Main Street Overlay area.
The City Clerk's office has told Planning Staff that in the past, mobile vendors have created
enforcement problems and as a result, have been prohibited. While street vendors can add a
positive element to a street scene, unless strict controls are enforced, they can become a public
nuisance and code enforcement problem. Because of the previous enforcement problems, staff
recommends deleting this use from the application request. Mobile vendors have been permitted
in other jurisdictions nationwide with varying degrees of success and could be thoroughly
analyzed if requested, as part of a future development code amendment.
)
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FINDINGS
(l)The proposed amendment is internally consistent with the General Plan in that it meets Goal
lC states that it shall be the goal of the City to "provide for the continuation and development
of land uses which provide for the needs of and attract regional populations, in addition to local
'J
')
)
DCA 97-01 & GPA 97-01
Hearing Date: 5/20/97

residents". It meets that goal by adding new permitted uses which will allow Main Street, Inc.
to bring in unique and innovative businesses that can provide jobs in the downtown area.
(2)The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare of the City in that any development proposed for the site in the future
will be required to meet general development standards as well as the specific development
standards proposed as part of DCA 97-01.
(3)The proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City
in that the addition of the proposed uses will provide additional opportunities for new businesses
to locate in the downtown area.
(4)In the case of an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map, the subject parcels are
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 designations
and the anticipated land use developments in that all parcels in the amendment area have access
to improved streets and are located in the downtown area with existing infrastructure suitable
for urban development. Existing homes within the area could be converted to a variety of
commercial or mixed-uses and would not be a major obstacle to the development of this area.
DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT FINDINGS
(I)The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare of the City in that approval of entitlements for each proposed use would
be required prior to development of the use. At that time each request will be evaluated in terms
of its impact on the public interest, health, convenience and welfare.
(2)The proposed development code amendment is consistent with the proposed general plan
amendment in that proposed Policy 1.16.19 would permit the establishment of the proposed uses
in the CR-2 land use district.
Because this Development Code Amendment proposes several new uses with specific standards,
a new policy must be added to the General Plan so that the two documents are consistent. The
proposed policy is as follows:
.Policy 1.16.19 to permit small scale production for off-site distribution of products
produced and sold on-site such as handicraft items, microbreweries and items sold which are
produced in artists colonies, limiting the amount of such distribution so that the commercial
integrity of the surrounding area is not harmed. "
CONCLUSION - The proposed amendment is consistent with the Development Code and
General Plan and a Negative Declaration has been prepared.
