CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Subiect: Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council in Opposition to the Proposed Expansion of a Social Care Facility at 1302 East Marshall Blvd. Backaround: This proposed project is described as a reVISion to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit to expand an existing residential social care facility for women suffering from chemical dependency and their children. The project description specifies that the proposal would increase the capacity of the facility from 24 to 80 beds; that a variance is required to provide 17 parking spaces in lieu of the required 32 spaces; and that the women served may be on parole from prison. The project site is located in the sphere of influence of the City of San Bernardino, within an "island" area that the City has committed to annex in the near future. The proposed project does not conform to the City of San Bernardino General Plan or Development Code. The variance request would be unacceptable to the City. With insufficient on-site parking, residents, staff, and guests would be forced to park on the streets, impacting the surrounding neighborhoods. The parking impacts and the intensification of incompatible land use would also increase the demand for future police and code compliance services. Recommendation: Adopt resolution.

Arrowhead Avenue, I" floor San Bernardino, CA 92415-0182 RE: Proposed Expansion of a Social Care Facility at 1302 E. Marshall Blvd. Project #P200700059/RMC APN 0271-471-18 Dear Ms. Mathieu: Please be advised that the City of San Bernardino will oppose approval of the above- referenced project, described as a revision to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit to expand an existing residential social care facility for women suffering from chemical dependency and their children. The project description specifies that the proposal would increase the capacity of the facility from 24 to 80 beds; that a variance is required to provide 17 parking spaces in lieu of the required 32 spaces; and that the women served may be on parole from prison. The project site is located in the sphere of influence of the City of San Bernardino, within an "island" area that the City has committed to annex in the near future. In the interim, it is imperative that the County exercise its discretion to require conformance to City land use policies and zoning regulations, in order to maintain land use compatibility pursuant to the currenl County General Plan Policy LU-9. The proposed project does not conform to the City of San Bernardino General Plan or Development Code. City pre-zoning for the site is RS, Residential Suburban. Social care facilities are not 'permitted in the City's RS land use district, and parolee group housing facilities are not permitted anywhere in the City. The variance request is a secondary consideration, but would also be unacceptable to the City. There is nothing extraordinary or unique about the site that would warrant a variance from parking standards. With insufficient on-site parking, residents, staff and guests would be forced to park on the streets, impacting the surrounding neighborhood. Should this project be approved, the parking impacts and the intensification of this incompatible land use would certainly . , .. e e e Lorella :"lathleu. County Land Cse Semees Dept. February 20, 2007 increase the future demand for City police and code enforcement services in the area. The impacts of inadequate parking capacity, conflict with the City general plan and land use regulations and the impacts on public services should be addressed in the environmental analysis of the project. Please keep the City apprised of any Development Review Committee meetings or public hearings scheduled to consider this project. City staff will attend to oppose the project, and may bring the item before the Mayor and Council for a fonnal resolution declaring the City's opposition. If you have any questions, or when you have updates on the status of the project, please contact me at 384-5057, ext. 3330. Sincerely, ;<'~H/ Terri Rahhal Deputy Director/City Planner cc: James Morris, Chief of Staff to Mayor Patrick Morris Fred Wilson, City Manager Valerie Ross, Development Services Director Julie Rynerson Rock, Land Use Services Director
