Attachment A shows the airport area and specific plan area and the proposed signage language is included in Attachment B. BACKGROUND In 1995, the Mayor and Common Council amended the General Plan and Development Code to establish the "A", Airport District for the airport and related areas at San Bernardino International Airport. The San Bernardino International Airport is under the ownership and operational control of the San Bernardino International Airport Authority (SBIAA). The Mayor and Common Council adopted the San Bernardino International Trade Center Specific Plan and amended the General Plan to incorporate the Specific Plan in 1996. The SBITC SP includes the non-airport portions of former Norton Air Force Base that were conveyed to the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA) for economic development purposes. The SBITC SP has been amended various times over the years. Staff is currently processing Specific Plan Amendment No. 06-03 to incorporate various modifications and to change the name to "San Bernardino Alliance California Specific Plan." FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS — DEVELOPMENT CODE A-MENDMENT I. Is the proposed anretrchutnt consistent with the General Platt., The San Bernardino International Airport and Trade Center are identified as a strategic area and the General Plan identifies six strategies that emphasize the importance of both areas. Goal 2.3 states, "Create and enhance dynamic, recognizable places for San Bernardino's residents, employees, and visitors." .Allowing off-site business and tenant identification signage within the Airport District and San Bernardino Alliance California Specific Plan areas will help to enhance the identity of those areas. Strategic placement of off-site signs will facilitate way finding, especially to businesses located on the airport property. Goal 5.3 states, "Recognize unique features in individual districts and neighborhoods and develop a program to create unifying design themes to identify areas throughout the City." Establishing a sign program will ensure that a unifying design theme is used throughout the San Bernardino International Airport and Specific Plan areas. i DC.t NO. 1/L' nn, D rrr t;.n 22.
