Dear .... BclviMI
We appreoiate the opportunity you have provided to comment on the
propo.ed Development Code and recognize that you have bad previous
eli.oussion. and meetings on the subject. The c~t. in thie
letter are prOVid" by Jerry Weiner, AIA, with our company, Daniel
W. Holden, Executive Vice President/General Coun.el of our company
and me a. planner and projeot ooordinator. The oC*aent. are in the
.equence of the code and not nece.sarily in order of t.portance.
1. Ettective date of Development Code. COnsieler exempting
peneling projects where tentative tract maps have been fUecl or some
other specific time reference. In many cases substantial
engineering, various studies, architectural services would have
been perforaecl ba.ed on existing code and it would be costly to
revise projects.
2. Section 19.02.040 4.8. (ORC)
outies - Suggest more .pecitic powers be mentioned. All
"finAl Authority" items are mention", subject to appeal but no
.pecitic., e.g. on extent ot review of tentative tract maps and
what are duties and power.. No tim. trame. for action or specific
procedures. Conditions of approval could be Anything - i.e. too
vaque. I. there a vote to be taken and does majority rule? Are
there toraal minute. required?
3. Section 19.02.040 5. (ERC)
Sugge.t that duties are too broadly defin" and need
specitics. See comments in 2. above. Define which are
cli.cretionary applioAtions.
Which appliCAtions go to both ORC ancl ERC? ouplication
of effort and neces.ity to appeal .eparately to Planning
COlllllli.sion. It is noted ORC in C can "impose" conditions and ERe
may "recOlllllenel" conditions.

DATE: January 9, 1991
COPIES: File
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Proposed Development Code being recommended by the
Planning Commission is a well thought out, user friendly and
present~ reasonable standards built from consensus and
comprom1se. However, just as our current ordinances are not
perfect neither is the proposed Development Code. The real
test of the Development Code will come with its use and
therefore, even after its adoption there will be provisions
that need to be changed. Staff continues to find small items
requiring correction, clarifications etc. The Councils
review/workshop leading to public hearings and adoption is
part of the process for perfecting the city's proposed
Development Code.
Is it my recommendation that the Council during their work-
shops go through the Development Code page by page. I
believe the Council can agree on most of the items of concern
(fine tune, clarify, etc.). If agreement by the council on
an item cannot be achieved, it is my recommendation to defer
these items to a later workshop. This process hopefully will
narrow the scope to ten (10) or twelve (12) major policies
issues for Mayor and Councils consideration.
Attached are four (4) pieces of information to assist Council
during the review of the Development Code.
A. In November of 1990 Mayor asked staff to do a
comparison of the proposed Development Code and
current title Municipal Code 19. (see Exhibit A for
this comparison)
B. In early December of 1990 staff was asked to compare
the former zoning district change process to a general
plan (Land Use) amendment. (see Exhibit B-1 titled
Process Comparison and exhibit B-2 titled Advantages
Of One Map System)
C. Exhibit C is staff's response to Councilman Minor's
comments on the Development Code.
D. Exhibit D is staff's response to Councilman Reilly's
comments on the Development Code.

Advantages of One-Map System
* Alternatives are considered by staff in analysis for a
proposed GPA. It may make good "Planning" sense to
change more or less area than what was proposed by the
applicant or consider different land use designations.
* Automatic Consistency. A two map zone change might
require a GPA in order to maintain consistency, whereas
a one-map system guarantees consistency. It will be
just a matter of time until the General Plan is not
consistent with the zoning map of a two-map system. The
City is then put at risk, as the City of San Bernardino
has experienced. Federal and State statutes and nation-
wide case law, including California generally require
land use decisions to be made which are consistent with
an adopted, up-to date General Plan.
* Flexibility is provided to staff, to the Planning
Commission and to the Council in reviewing, recommending
and approving GPA's by considering land use alternatives
not proposed by the applicant and by expanding the scope
of either the land area involved or policy context of
the General Plan.

and a second dwellinq unit would not be peraitted on the

when built to Desiqn standards on paqe 11-18, does not
constitute a "dwellinq unit" and therefore, 0(3) could
be interpreted to allow both a second unit and quest
house or a qranny unit and quest house.
3. p. 11-31 - Senior Apartment Parkinq
The 1 covered space per unit plus 1 space per 5 units
for quests is a common standard for Senior apartments.
Many senior apartment dwellers are sinqle, and many do
not drive. 8y requirinq a 1:1 ratio plus quest parkinq,
a balance is reached. Thi. ratio is open to debate and
easily adjusted.
There is provision that parkinq requirements can be
adjusted on a project by project basis (p. III-50,
19.24.030(9)). The .tandard could be increased or
reduced on a project by project basis when justified.

$taff proposes to clarify the standard in question by
chanqinq B(2) to read:
"There shall be no visible storaqe of motor vehicles

The 3 sections in question contain the definition of
Public Park, Reliqious Institution, and School. The
definitions are included in this chapter because of
standards prohibitinq the location or adult businesses
within 1,000 feet of the 3 different land uses defined.
The definitions could be moved to the Definition section

Poothill Pir. Zones gen.rally correspond to the Hillside
Management OVerlay Di.trict where no minimum lot dimen-
sion. nor size are stated. This i. to allow flexibility
in subdivision design to minimize grading.
3. p. II-201 - A4
"Expected" is an appropriate word. However, d..ired,
encourag.d, or reco_ended" could be substituted. The
Pire Department responded that pole foundation is co_on
construction in hilly ar.as and has no problem provided
a screenwall or stemwall is built so the underside of
the home is not exposed.
4. p. IV-70, 3 and 4
The rehabilitation of legally non-conforming residential
.tructures, including single family residential struc-
tures, is covered on p. IV-69, 1 and 2. The confusion
on p. IV-70, 3 and 4 is created by the words "single-
family." By eliminating "single-family" the Development
Code addr.sses structures "...other than residential
.tructures..." Originally 3 and 4 were intended to
include multi family structures. However, p. IV-69 1
and 2 were changed to include all residential structures
in r..idential districts but the necessary change to 3
and 4 were not made.

The off-street parking .tandard described in 14(A) is
for .enior apartment complexe.. The parking standard
descri~ed in 14(B), "3 .pace. for every 4 dwelling

standards~ 14 (A) and 14(B), equate to the standards
listad on pq. III-S1.

Staff will repeat the provision on pq. 11-31, 14(1), for
clarification.

The intent of number 9 is to include senior apartments
as well as congregate care. The word "apartments" can
~e inserted for clarification if desired.

The provision i. included as a quideline. This is not a
mandatory requirement, ~ut rather a suggestion.
10.
p. 11-101, 8 and 10
The.e drive-thru restaurant standards,
residential district and a minimum floor
square feet are proposed for the following
200' from a
area of 1,7S0
reasons:
a. The minimum distance from a residential district is
in an effort to mitigate the impact a drive thru
restaurant could have on a residential district;
and
~. The minimum floor area of 1,7S0 square feet is
proposed to promote higher quality drive thru
restaurants.
11. 11-101, 8
The prohi~ition of any drive thru restaurant within 300'
of another drive thru on the same side of the street or
of an intersection is proposed as a safety measure for
traffic circulation. Drive thru restaurants are gene-
rally high volume traffic generations and locating
facilities away form each other and intersections
provides for fewer circulation conflicts.

Is "expected" the proper word? Are pole foundations
O.K. with the Pire Department?
4. IV-70-3 '4 - Why are single family residential struc-
tures omitted?
5. II-95-C-2 - Automobile sales would appear to be entirely
screened from public views - don't understand - needs
clarification.
6. 1I-31-14-A This parking requirelllent appears to con-
flict with III-51 wherein it states that senior Congre-
gate care requires .75 spaces per unit.
7. 1I-31 - This section should repeat article 9 on page
III-50 for clarity and understanding.
8. III-50 Article 9 - In my opinion, this provision should
include senior citizen apartments as well as senior
congregate care facilities. Several of our downtown
senior citizen apartment complexes fit this provision.
Other affluent senior projects catering to those 55 and
over would probably require the higher parking stan-
dards.
9. 1I-35-E-Lot Orientation - O.K. as long as it is inte-
grated as a guideline and not a requirement.
10. a) II-101-8 '10 - The sentence requiring a minimUIII of
200' distance from any residential district - is this a
reasonable requirement?
b) What is the reasoning for a minimUIII 1750 sq. ft. area
for a drive-thru restaurant?
11. It would seelll that for all practical purposes drive-thru
restaurants would be prohibited because of the following
restrictions: a) Not permitted within 300" of any
residential district; b) Not permitted within 300' of
any major or secondary street intersection. It se8111S to
me there should be some flexibility in these restric-

-------------------------------------------------------------
The Proposed Development Code being recommended by the
Planning Commission is a well thought out, user friendly and
presents reasonable standards built from consensus and
compromise. However, just as our current ordinances are not
perfect neither is the proposed Development Code. The real
test of the Development Code will come with its use and
therefore, even after its adoption there will be provisions
that need to be changed. Staff continues to find small items
requiring correction, clarifications etc. The Councils
review/workshop leading to public hearings and adoption is
part of the process for perfecting the City's proposed
Development Code.
Is it my recommendation that the Council during their work-
shops go through the Development Code page by page. I
believe the Council can agree on most of the items of concern
(fine tune, clarify, etc.). If agreement by the council on
an item cannot be achieved, it is my recommendation to defer
these items to a later workshop. This process hopefully will
narrow the scope to ten (10) or twelve (12) major policies
issues for Mayor and Councils consideration.
Attached are four (4) pieces of information to assist Council
during the review of the Development Code.
A. In November of 1990 Mayor asked staff to do a
comparison of the proposed Development Code and
current title Municipal Code 19. (see Exhibit A for
this comparison)
B. In early December of 1990 staff was asked to compare
the former zoning district change process to a general
plan (Land Use) amendment. (see Exhibit B-1 titled
Process comparison and exhibit B-2 titled Advantages
Of One Map System)
C. Exhibit C is staff's response to Councilman Minor's
comments on the Development Code.
D. Exhibit D is staff's response to Councilman Reilly'S
comments on the Development Code.

Advantages of One-Map System
* Alternatives are considered by staff in analysis for a
proposed GPA. It may make good "Planning" sense to
change more or less area than what was proposed by the
applicant or consider different land use designations.
* Automatic consistency. A two map zone change might
require a GPA in order to maintain consistency, whereas
a one-map system guarantees consistency. It will be
just a matter of time until the General Plan is not
consistent with the zoning map of a two-map system. The
City is then put at risk, as the City of San Bernardino
has experienced. Federal and State statutes and nation-
wide case law, including California generally require
land use decisions to be made which are consistent with
an adopted, up-to date General Plan.
* Flexibility is provided to staff, to the Planning
Commission and to the Council in reviewing, recommending
and approving GPA's by considering land use alternatives
not proposed by the applicant and by expanding the scope
of either the land area involved or policy context of
the General Plan.

a balance is reached. This ratio is open to debate and
easily adjusted.
There is provision that parkinq requirements can be

reduced on a project by project basis when justified.

Staff propo.es to clarify the standard in question by
chanqinq B(2) to read:
.Ther. shall be no visible storaqe of motor vehicles

04.02, page 11-7, Re.idential Development Standards. The
note would be applicable to the RM, RMH, and RH
de.ignation. where 3 and 4 story .tructure. are permit-
ted.
2. p. 11-176 CUl-de-sac property line radius in the
Poothill Fire Zone is not addressed for the followinq
reason:
Poothill Fire Zones generally correspond to the Hillside
Manag_ent OVerlay District where no minimum lot dimen-
sions nor size are stated. This is to allow flexibility
in subdivision design to minimize grading.
3. p. 11-201 - A4
"Expected" is an appropriate word. However, desired,
encouraqed, or recommended' could be substituted. The
Fire Department responded that pole foundation is common
construction in hilly areas and has no problem provided
a screenwall or stemwall is built so the underside of
the home is not exposed.
4. p. IV-70, 3 and 4
The rehabilitation of legally non-conforming residential
structures, includinq single family residential struc-
tures, is covered on p. IV-69, 1 and 2. The confusion
on p. IV-70, 3 and 4 is created by the words "sinqle-
.family. " By eliminatinq "sinqle-family" the Development
Code addresses structures "...other than residential
structures..." Originally 3 and 4 were intended to
include multi family structures. However, p. IV-69 1
and 2 were chanqed to include all re.idential structures
in residential districts but the necessary chanqe to 3
and 4 were not made.

6. p. II-31, 14 (A)
The off-street parking standard described in 14 (A) is
for senior apartment complexes. The parking .tandard
described in 14(B), "3 space. for every 4 dwelling
units" is applicable to congregate care facilities. Both
.tandards~ 14 (A) and 14 (B), equate to the standards
listed on pq. III-51.
7. p. III-50, 9
Staff will repeat the provision on pq. II-31, 14(F), for
clarification.
8. p. III-50, 9
The intent of number 9 is to include senior apartments
as well as congregate care. The word "apartments" can
be inserted for clarification if desired.
9. p. II-35, E - Lot orientation
The provision is included as a quideline. This is not a
mandatory requirement, but rather a suggestion.
10.
p. II-101, 8 and 10
These drive-thru restaurant standards,
residential district and a minimum floor
square feet are proposed for the following
200' from a
area of 1,750
reasons:
a. The minimum distance from a residential district is
in an effort to mitigate the impact a drive thru
restaurant could have on a residential district:
and
b. The minimum floor area of 1,750 square feet is
proposed to promote higher quality drive thru
restaurants.
11. II-101, 8
The prohibition of any drive thru restaurant within 300'
of another drive thru on the same side of the street or
of an intersection is proposed as a safety measure for
traffic circulation. Drive thru restaurants are gene-
rally high volume traffic generations and locating
facilities away form each other and intersections
provides for fewer circulation conflicts.

At one ttae there was a certain set back required (I

adequate control. in the code to address this issue?

Is "expected" the proper word? Are pole foundations
O.K. with the Fire Department?
4. IV-70-3 '4 - Why are single family residential struc-
tures omitted?
5. 1I-95-C-2 - Automobile sales would appear to be entirely
screened from public views - don't understand - needs
clarification.
6. 1I-31-14-A This parking requirement appears to con-
flict with III-51 wherein it states that Senior Congre-
gate care requires .75 spaces per unit.
7. 1I-31 - This section should repeat article 9 on page
III-50 for clarity and understanding.
8. III-50 Article 9 - In my opinion, this provision should
include senior citizen apartments as well as senior
congregate care facilities. Several of our downtown
senior citizen apartment complexes fit this provision.
Other affluent senior projects catering to those 55 and
over would probably require the higher parking stan-
dards.
9. 1I-35-E-Lot Orientation - O.K. as long as it is inte-
grated as a quideline and not a requirement.
10. a) II-101-8 '10 - The sentence requiring a minimum of
200' distance from any residential district - is this a
reasonable requirement?
b) What is the reasoning for a minimum 1750 sq. ft. area
for a drive-thru restaurant?
11. It would seem that for all practical purposes drive-thru
restaurants would be prohibited because of the following
restrictions: a) Not permitted within 300" of any
residential district: b) Not permitted within 300' of
any major or secondary street intersection. It seems to
me there should be some flexibility in these restric-
tions.
