We are appealing this decision for the following reasons: . 1. Approximately 82\ of the subject property is located within the San Jacinto Fault Zone, where for health and safety reasons, no structures can be built. 2. At the present time. property owners to the north are allowed to park automobiles on dirt shoulders located on the east side of Camino Real. 3. Oust presently originating from the subject property, will be mitigated by surfacing with a non-toxic and non- corrosive slag. All surfacing materials will be compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 95%. 4. Long term plan is to pave and stripe this area once business is built up.

The city of San 3er:-.ardino is loosing visitors and bJsiness clientele ...me stay in hotels to Riverside. Rec1lands and Fontana. We have explored a ;:'f!'.l type of clientele and have found a vast =ket with long-haul tr..lckers delivering goods to the Inland Eiqlire area. He have the ?otential to INCREASE TAX RE:\IDl'L'ES FOR mE CITI by providing trUCk parking facilities at our hotel by using the pro- posed site 'Nhich we have owned since purchasing the hotel in 1984; the property is and ".las a part of the hotel. We are anpealing to all the members of t.'1.e approval comnittee to consider our application and approve it. . The hotel eqlloys 40 people on a year around basis and prochJces a payroll of substantial nut:bers which in turn is spent in our camunity. The hotel occupancy tax at our hotel is now approx1mately $80,000 per year and will i..1.crease significantly with our ability to acc:amdate additional tr..tckers. It 'Hill be ::ore difficult for our hotel to create new business Wen Norton Air Force Base is closed. The new Visitors and Convention Bureau is t::yi."lg to increase our business. trying to give reasons and justify 'Nhy these people must stay in San Bernardir.o and spend their m:mey in our local econcmy.

We feel we can increase our share of the market to attract lIDre traffic to our hotel since we have easy-on, easy-off exit/entry points due to our advantagious location at the intersection of 1-10 and 1-215, which are I:'.ain .arterials connecting east and west on 1-10, and north and south on 1-215. By doing so we have a potential to increase our business by 20% and create mre jobs and also keep our facility open and in operation, and not have to close down our facility due to financial problems and/or difficulties. We 100Uld like to sustain our business and be part of a growing econany and help the city collect lIDre tax revenues. This hotel has also been able to serve the local market by providing an economy budget lUKUIy property with meeting and banquet facilities, an enterta..inl'.ent 10Ul1ge, and a ham for the famms radio stations ImC1 and KDL"O. .

To Mayor and Common Council Approved Date REQUEST Review of Plans No. 89-49 is to construct an ancillary parking lot on 2.15 acres for big rig trucks at Econolodge, 668 Fairway Drive (see Attachment "E", Site Plan). In conjunction with this application is Variance 89-3 in which the applicant requests a six-month time period to asphalt the parking lot. The site is in an area designated CG-l, General Commercial, on the General Plan (see Attachment "F", Location map) . BACKGROUND . On April 7, 1989, Variance No. 89-3 was submitted to the City. The request at that time was to allow big rig parking on a 2.15 acre dirt parcel adjacent to the motel. On April 20, 1989, the Development Review Committee reviewed.the plot plan and recommended denial to the Planning Commission. Under state law, projects that will be denied require no environmental review, so the project was scheduled for Planning Commission without going to the Environmental Review Committee. On May 31, 1989, the Planning Commission denied the Variance. That decision was appealed to the Mayor and Common Council and scheduled for August 21, 1989 meeting. On August 14, 1989, Review of Plans 89-49 was submitted to Planning. On August 21, 1989, the Mayor and Common Council continued the Variance request to October 6, 1989, so the Review of Plans could be reviewed. The Review of Plans went to the Development Review Committee several times while Engineering problems were worked out. On November 16, 1989, the site plan design was recommended for approval to the Mayor and Common Council by the Development Review Committee, however, the recommendation includes requiring paving now which is not in support of the Variance request. That same day the Environmental Review Commitee recommended a Negative Declaration be adopted for the Review of Plans (see Attachment "D", Initial Study). . ; w~ _ ..~ _'. r .--, ~:..!L' ';~~_'<<1;:'::'~ -;r";;;;.....i . Ci ty of San Bernardino .. · Memorandum to the Mayor and Common Council Meeting, December 18, 1989 Subject: Review of Plans No. 89-49 Page 2 . ANALYSIS The subject site is located in the Alquist priolo Special Studies Zone. The San Jacinto fault has been identified as traversing the parcel in a northwest trend. When the required setbacks from the faults are met, there is very little area left for any structures. A parking lot is an appropriate land use on this site. The parking lot layout has been redesigned to the satisfaction of the City Engineering and Traffic Engineer. Drive aisle width and parking configuration provide adequate circulation. Access is from Camino Real via a 36 foot driveway, or from Fairway Drive. The propsed parking lot is in compliance with applicable codes relative to landscaping, curbing aisle width and stall width and depth. The exception to code compliance is the proposal to use slag. The phased development approach is to install all improvements in Phase I except the asphalt which would be Phase II. . CONCLUSION The proposed parking.lot is a preferable land use at the subject location. With the exception of the slag, the parking lot is in compliance with all applicable codes. The Development Review Committee has recommended approval of the site plan, but denial of the phased construction. There is a proposed Negative Declaration. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Mayor and Common Council: 1. Approve Review of Plans No. 89-49 subject to Findings of Fact (Attachment "A"), Conditions of Approval (Attachment "B"), and Standard Requirements (Attachment "C"); and 2.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING DEPARTMENT . . INITIAL STUDY Review of Plans 89-49 is to construct a 2.15 acre parking lot for large trucks and trailers. The proposal is to construct the lot in 3 phases. Phase one would include 15 truck stalls (14 feet by 70 feet) and an exit drive surfaced with slag, (Variance 89-3) and landscaping. Phase 2 consists of resurfacing the phase one slagged area with asphalt. Phase 3 will involve the addition 73 standard parking spaces. The project site is an undeveloped parcel of land surrounded by commercial uses to the north and south, vacant land to the west and Interstate 215 to the east. The site is relatively level with grasses and weedy vegetation. The parcel is located in the San Jacinto Fault Alquist-Priolo Special Studies zone and the High Liquefaction Susceptibility area. pc: RP89-49IS . . . . . !

The proposed project results in development within the San Jacinto Fault Alquisto-priolo Special Studies zone boundaries. A geologic Report, prepared by Horne Chance and Associates (June 24, 1980) in conjunction with Parcel Map 5706 and on file with the Planning Department, locates a 115 foot wide fault zone that crosses the parcel diagonally from the northwest to the southeast. the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies zones Act of 1972 "prohibits the location of developments and structures for human occupancy across the trace of active faults..." (California Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42, revised 1988); This project proposes a parking lot which doe not meet the definition of a "structure for human occupancy", therefore no significant impact will result. 1.g. The project site is within a high liquefaction susceptibility area, however since the project does not involve construction, development or use of any structures no significant impacts will result. Possible dust control impacts will be removed during phase one of the project through the use of slag, parking lot grade which is watered and rolled for compaction. In subsequent phases, dust control will be continued through replacement of the slag and paving of any expansion areas with asphalt. Therefore no significant impac~s to air quality will result from the proposed project. All unpaved areas during Phases I and II shall be huydroseeded and supplied with temporary irrigation. 2.a. . 3.a. Paving an undeveloped area of land will decrease absorption rates and increase runoff. However, the area historically has high ground water and paving less than 2 acres will not pose a significant impact. The runoff will be directed to the public street and into the City storm drain system and therefore no significant impacts will occur. 3.d. The project site is in an area of high groundwater, which can be as high as 3 feet below surface. The site historically has problems with standing water during wet times of the year. The use of slag, which will be installed using parking lot grade, watered and rolled for compaction, will provide . ...... . . . . ENVIRONMENT AL E~ALUA TlON AND MITIGATION MEAMES . 12.b. temporary relief from the water pooling by directing runoff into the storm drain system. It will also present a barrier to groundwater contamination from oil, gasoline or other truck and automotive fluid leakage. Permanent protection will be provided using asphalt paving in subsequent phases. The project will not have a significant impact on the surrounding areas because the project meets the required landscaped setbacks and will provide a considerable amount of interior landscaping. The Phase I slag surfacing will only be in place.for 6 months and then replaced with permanent asphalt paving, therefore the possible visual impacts resulting from use of slag as a surface will not be significant. pc: RP89-49ISMM . . ...... .'
