western neighborhoods of San Bernardino and
to be a regional destination for dining, unique
shopping and entertainment. Following are
highlights of the Analysis of Market Potentials for
the Mount Vernon Conldor Redevelopment

include:
. a projected retail purchasing power of
$15.3 million On 1990 dollars) by the
year 2000 in the PMA
· a projected purchasing power of $1.9
billion On 1990 dollars) by the year 2000
In the SMA. In addition, persons
employed in cIowntown San Bernardino
are projected to spend approximately
$200,000 annually on daytime retail
purchases in the Paseo Las Placitas area.

SMA and the proximity to cIowntown, the Paseo
Las PIacItas area is projected to add substantial
retail space by the year 2000. Additional
support is also projected for service, business
and office spaces.

FRAMEWORK PLAN
The Framework Plan for Paseo Las Placitas
consists of three major components:
The Urban Design component describes the
combination of factors which create the unique.
pedestrian environment of the Paseo.
The Land Use component defines a series of
special Land Use Districts and identifies the
types of uses which are allowed in each District.
The Circulation and Parking component
describes how automobile, bus and open-air
trams can access all districts and the manner In
which the Parking District will function.

II URBAN D~SIGN
The Paseo Las PlacItas
environment Is created by a
rhythm of spaces related to the
kind and speed of movement.
Pedestrians experience a
Wide Sidewalk Promenade
along which they can stroll from
5th to 9th Street. Juxtaposed
with the Promenade are
Courtyard Strolling Paths
which connect perpendicularly
to the Promenade. Shaded
Colonnades in the edges of
Public Parking Structures or
Lots add another rhythm to the
pedestrian experience. La
Plaza Park provides an open
space focal point for the
pedestrian strolling experience.

Pedestrians have a variety of
Interesting routes to travel. This
Is a key Ingredient In creating
an area to which people will
retum. Pedestrians may stroll
from the Parking areas to
restaurants and shops within
the portions of the Courtyard
Strolling Paths which are
parallel to the Promenade.
Thus, the pedestrian's
experience along the
Promenade Is more urban with
cars, busses, trams and long
vistas. The Courtyard
Strolling Paths provide an
Intimate experience with shade
trees, flowers, fountains and
contained vistas. The
opportunities for each
pedestrian to create his own
combination of experiences is
extensive.
Automobile drlv.... and
passengers and bus and tram
passengers will experience the
formal rows of Palm Trees and
colorful median while noting the
varied Courtyards and La Plaza
Park as they pass by. The
quality of the environment will
encourage them to stop at well-

CIRCULATION AND PARKING
The functioning and
environment of the Paseo Las
Placltas Specific Plan Is
dependent upon a number of
circulation and parking
improvements. These
Improvements are as follows:
MI. Vernon Right-of-Way
As Illustrated in Figure 9 below,
MI. Vemon Avenue currently
has an 82'-6- right-of-way. To
accommodate the arterial
function identified In the
General Plan and to create the
Paseo environment, the right-
of-way must be expanded.
Therefore, the proposed MI.
Vernon Avenue right-of-way
provides for:
. four 11' wide moving
traffic lanes;
. two 13' wide outside
multI-purpose lanes.
No on-street parking will
be allowed;
. A 12'-6- median will
allow for both
landscaping and left turn
lanes at the major cross
streets;
. 15' wide pedestrian
promenade on each
side of the street with
palm trees lining the
street edge;
. Special paving and curb
alignment to create

pedestrian crosswalks
at the major
Intersections to facilitate
pedestrian crossings
and Improve safety.
Cui de Sacs
As illustrated In Figure 10, cui
de sacs are proposed for
Union, Vine, Victoria, Spruce
and Kingman Streets. These
cui de sacs serve a number of
important functions Inciuding:
· prevention of retail,
restaurant and cinema
traffic from entering the
adjacent residential
neighborhoods
,
· creating right-of-way for
m1ni-plazas which
provide pedestrian and
bicycle access to Mt.
Vernon Avenue from the
adjacent neighborhoods
· allowing the creation of
four new superblocks
with pedestrlan-only mid
block crossings.
Other Str....
Except for the changes to the
MI. Vernon Right-of-Way and
the Cui de Sacs described
above, no other street changes
are proposed.

II LANDSCAPE MATERIALS
Concept
Landscaping is a key Ingredient
in creating the environment of
the Los P1acitas Specific Plan
area. The intent of the
landscape guidelines is to:
· Provide a backdrop and
visual setting for the
architectural elements,
. Enhance climate control.
. Screen parking and
service areas.
. Complement and
accentuate the overall
~panish Revival design
theme architectural
elements.
.
Clarify the visitor path to
the building entries.
Establish a unique image
for the area. .
.
Landscepe Guidelines
Landscape Plans shall comply
with the Development Code
requirements.
The guidelines implement the
above stated goals are:
.
The use of vines and .
shrubbery around columns
is encouraged.
The use of vines on trellis
structures is encouraged.
,.
.
Plant material should be
massed to:
.
.
Vegetation should be
mass planted in key areas, .
define circulation patterns
and create courtyard
environments.
- distinguish entries
- define circulation
patterns
. unify the overall project
Buildings in most cases
should be landscaped with
low-level plantings and
trees to soften the impact
of the architecture and
provide a more human
scale.
One (1) tree 24" box
should be installed for
every 200 square feet of
landscaping in areas other
than parking lots.
Vegetation of varying
heights and textures
should be placed along
perimeter walls and fences
to soften hard planes and
to create interest and
variety.
.
Plant material, particularly
vines and espaliered trees,
shall be used to visually .
soften project walls.

ARTS DISTRICT
o
The Paseo Las Placltas
environment Is designed to be
a work of art Itself-as urban
design and architecture, a
spatial and cultural event. The
streetscapes, plazas and parks
are also intended to be a
setting for artist-designed
fountains. murals and street
fumlture.
Figure 35 shows the general
areas in which publicly visible
art can be located. It is
recommended that the exact
placement of works of art be
coordinated with the artists
creating them.
Designation of Paseo Las
Placitas as an Arts District will
enhance the attraction of
quality artists and may facilitate
funding of artwork.

II PROMOTION
Dynamic promotion and
excellent maintenance and
security are absolutely
essential to the success of the
Paseo Las Plac/tas area.
Promotion
Media
Paseo Las Placltas will be
marketed to three primary user
groups - neighborhood
residents. City residents and
regional residents. Appropriate
promotional media for each
user group would include:
. radio and television-
English and Spanish
stations both private and
public access
. newspapers-English and
Spanish-ads and inserts
. mailers-perhaps
Including a special Paseo
Las Placitas "magazine" or
"newspaper" to targeted
zip codes
. articles in City
communications mailed to
residents
Events
The above media are geared to
attract people to Paseo Las
Placltas. A series of events
can provide shoppers. diners
and cinema goers with a
memorable experience so that
they will retum again and
again.

MAINTENANCE
Transition Murals and
Graphics
Murals and Supergraphics
should be related to each of the
development sites identified in
Section 5 of the Plan. These
Murals can add immediate
excitement and color to the
environment and contain
drawings and text that convey
the future facilities to be
constructed.
Maintenance
The entire area needs to be
completely maintained on daily
basis by professionals using
cost-effective technology such .
as sweepers, vacuums and
steam cleaners. Machine
based maintenance should be
accompanied by one or two
full-time "street sweepers" who
cover the entire area looking for
and eliminating "interim
messes' that occur between
the daily c1eanings.
The entire area, including all
exterior publiC and private
spaces-streets, courtyards,
parks, etc. should be
maintained by the same
maintenance organization as
part of a Maintenance District.
Maintenance is actually one of
the most important promotional
activities of Paseo Las Placitas.
People will be alternatively
attracted to or turned away by
the cleanliness of the area.
115
Security
Foot ancllor bicycle patrols are
recommended as key security
measures. Regular1y assigned
officers who meet with the
merchants to discuss
prevention and response
programs can be particular1y
effective.
Security should be "low profile"
to avoid the impression that this
is an unsecured area.

SECURITY
The opening of new businesses
and the generation of additional
foot traffic will be one of the
most Important factors In
security. Busy areas are safer
areas.
Security Is also one ofthe most
Important promotional activities
of Paseo Las P1acitas. People
will be alternatively attracted to
or turned away by an area
which Is safe or unsafe either In
reality or perception.
Constructions fences can be artistic murals creating a sense of
excitement and change.

o
DISTRICT(S) .
Districts for Promotion endl
or Maintenance end/or
Security
SpecIal Districts can be created
either singularly or In
combination to fund and
oversee promotion,
maintenance and security.
These districts, defined In State
Law, are either funded by
business license or property
assessments.
In either case, the costs are
unusually passed to the
business operator who In tum
passes them on to this
customer as cost of doing
business.
A workable strategy will
probably require the
Development Agency ancflor
the City to assist In the funding
of a special district or districts
for maintenance and promotion
In the early years of plan
Implementation. The police
department can provide air
necessary security with
community based services
stressing foot and bicycle
patrols.

. possible Impact on rail trafftc
. possible alteration or destruction of archeological sit...
7.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The Project is described in Sections 1 through 6 of this Specific Plan. In summary, the Project
converts a blighted area of approximately 28 acres to a mixed use/retail area comprised of
mercados, specialty shops, restaurants, cinemas, a fast food row, office space and community
facilities. These land uses are described in Figure 7 on page 24 of the Specific Plan. Creation of a
viable mixed use/retail area also requires a number of changes to the circulation networ1( which are
described in Section 4.4, starting on page 31.
7.3 ENVIRONMENTAL SEn1NG
The Specific Plan area Is a flat site of approximately 28 acres. As illustrated In figure 37 the site Is
surrounded by residential uses on the east and west, strip retail on the north and the Santa Fe
railroad yards on the south. There are no significant natural features In the SpecIfic Plan area.
7.4.1 PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Paseo Las PlacitaS Specific Plan contains recommendations to amend the City's General Plan
so that Specific Plan and the General Plan will be consistent.
7.4.2 INCORPORAnON BY REFERENCE
This EIR incorporates by reference, (pursuant to CEOA Guidelines, Section 15150.1), the
Environmental Impact Report, dated April 1990, forthe Mt. Vernon Corridor Redevelopment Project,
prepared by Urban Futures, Inc. in cooperation with the City of San Bernard/no Planning

the General Plan. These changes are detailed In figure 7 of the SpecIfic Plan on page 24.
124
.
o 0
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
Environmental Impacts
The proposed changes in Land Use will have positive economic impacts for the CIty of San
Bernardino in terms of increased employment, sales tax and property tax revenues. The specific
nature of the land use changes are closely linked to the urban design environment described in
section 5 of the Specific Plan.
A deteriorated. blighted. highly vacant strip center will be replaced with a courtyard/promenade
environment.
Mitigation Measures
The impacts are positive and no mitigation measures are required.
7.5.4 HOUSING
Environmental Setting
Up to two dozen houses are located in the Specific Plan area
Environmental Impact
These houses must be acquired to accommodate the new, non-residential land uses recommended
in the Specific Plan
Mitigation Measures
Section 6, Implementation, of the Specific Plan contains recommendations for a Neighborhood
Enhancement Plan on page 1 05. The houses and/or the occupants of the houses can be located to
Infilllots or to new Inrdl construction in the adjacent residential neighborhoods. The relocation
requirements of the Community Redevelopment Law of Califomia also mandate relocation
procedures which will maintain or enhance the housing status of any persons affected by
acquisitions and relocation.
7.5.5 PARKING FACILmESlSTRUCTURES
Environmental Setting
The conversion of the Specific Plan area from a blighted area with significant vacancies to a viable
mixed use/retail area will require substantial addition of parking spaces In parking lots and/or
structures.

Envlronmentallmpects
Current parking lots are small and scatterec:l with Inefficient parking layouts and numerous curb cuts
required for access. The Parking Structures proposed In figure 13 on page 35 of the Specific Plan
could create unpleasant scale relationships with adjacent residential uses If not properly designed.
MItigation Measures
Existing parking layout problems are resolved by the use of a Parldng District which consolidates
parking as described In section 6 page 109 of the Specific Plan. Potential scale relationship
problems between Parldng Structures and adjacent residential uses are mitigated by the height
limits and buffering requirements Imposed by the Design Guidelines. S88 peges 51 through 53 of
the Specific Plan
7.5.6 PUBUCTRANSPORTATlONSYSTEM
environmental Setting
MI. Vernon Avenue now serves as a major bus route~
Environmental Impacts
(1) Busses currently use portions of the same street right-of way dedicated to on-street parking.
This creates some "Weaving- hazards as the pathways of busses pulling over to bus stops can
intersect with the pathways of automobiles departing from adjacentcurbsic:le parking.
(2) The Specific Plan proposes a Downtown Shuttle to connect the Paseo Las Placltas area to
office employees and hotel guests In Downtown. This Shuttle could be either a bus or other special
vehicle. The stopping procedures for the shuttle need to be coordnated with the regular bus routes.
The Downtown Shuttle can use the same bus stops as the regular busses through proper
scheduling. If occasional arrival conflicts occur, they can be mitigated by waiting in another portion
of the Multi-pulpOse Lane.
(3) The Specific Plan recommends future Shuttle connections to the Santa Fe Railroad Depot to
pick up or drop off passengers to or from the Amtrak and the potential Commuter Rail Station.
Shuttle connections to the Amtrak and potential Commuter Rail Station will enhance public
transportation ridership.

7.5.7 ALTERAnON OF CIRCULAnON PATTERNS
environmental Setting
The Existing Street Network is Illustrated In figure 43 on the opposite page. this street pattern
inhibits pedestrian movement along Mt. Vernon Avenue, creates traffic hazanfs along Mt. Vernon
Avenue and allows intrusion of retail traffic Into adjacent residential neighborhoods.
The proposed Circulation Pattern, Illustrated in figure lOon page 32 of the Specific Plan resolves
these problems of "side friction" conflict by:
. the redesign of the Mt. Vemon Right-of-Way as Illustrated In Figure 9 on page 31
. creating cul-de-sacs at the Mt. Vernon Avenue ends of selected streets
. consolidation of parking locations In District Lots anellor Structures and
. the removal of all on street parking.
Further, left tums will be safely channeled by the Landscaped Median Illustrated In figure 9. Mt.
Vernon, 5th and 9th Streets maintain their functions as designated In the General Plan.
Environmental Impacts
The Environmental Impact of the proposed circulation pattern changes will be positive. Traffic will
flow more smoothly and safely along Mt. Vernon Avenue and Intrusion of retail traffic Into residential
areas will be nearly eliminated.
Mitigation Measures
The proposed cui de sacs create "mini-plaza" areas as described on page 31 of the Specific Plan.
The Design Guidelines for all subareas of the Specific Plan require that these "minl-plazas" remain
unobstructed so as to allow emergency fire and police vehicle access at all times.
7.5.8 RAIL TRAFFIC
As discussed in Section 4.4, page 31 ofthe Specific Plan and Section 7.5.6 ofthe Draft EIR, the
Spec/fie plan proposes a Shuttle Connection between the Paseo Las Placltas area and the existing
Amtraklpotential Mure Commuter Rail Station.
Envlronmentsllmpacts
The impact of this shuttle connection will be positive by encouraging use of rail as an alternative to
the automobile for work and pleasure trips.
Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are required.

(4) Figure 47 (which is Figure 8 ofthe Resources Element) Identifies the area east of MI. Vernon
Avenue as an -area of concern for archaeological resources'-
Environmental Impacts
(1) Much of the 500-600 block of MI. Vernon Avenue has been demolished due to the unsafe
condtion of the buildings. The remaining structures are of such a scattered nature as to no
longer constitute a district. Replacement of these remaining structures is proposed.
(2) The other portions of MI. Vernon Avenue, although built in the 20's and 30's, lack architectural
merit.

(3) The House of Neighborly Service is retained and enhanced with the addition of an adjacent.
new community Center. (See the Land Use Section of the Specific Plan.)
(4) Grading or excavation for new construction could impact possible archaeological sites on the
east side of MI. Vernon Avenue.
Mitigation Measures
(1) Although the remaining structures in the 500-600 block are not planned for retention and
rehabilitation. they will be replaced with buildings of a Spanish Revival architectural theme
which is appropriate to the ethnic cflStrict.

(2) The Neighborhood Enhancement Program described in Section 6 of the Specific Plan
recommends rehabilitation of residential areas adjacent to the Specific Plan area
(3) The Home of Neighborly Service will be preserved and enhanced by the upgrading of the
overall MI. Vernon streetscape and the proposed. adjacent Community CenterlCuhural Center
Illustrated and described in the Land Use Section of the Specific Plan.
(4) Prior to approvals of any construction project the private applicant and/or the Development
Department will retain a City certified archeologist to conduct a literature and records search
for recorded sites and previous surveys. In addition. a field survey will be conducted by a
certified archeologist unless the project site has been previously surveyed In a manner which
meets City approval. Mitigation measures will then depend on the recommendations of the
archaeologist's report.

7.6 ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT
Status Quo
An alternative to the proposed Paseo Las Placltas Specific Plan would be for the City to take no
actions to improve the area.
Larger Project Area
As Illustrated in Agure 48. a Larger Project Area, extending northward to just beyond Baseline Road
was considered.
As Illustrated on page 108 of the Specific Plan, the Specific Plan does accommodate a Minimum
Development Plan of approximately 250.000 square feet and a MaxImum Development Plan of
approximately 435,000 square feet.
The Environmental Impact Report has addressed the potentlallmpacts of the Maximum
Development Plan.
Reasons for Rejection of the Alternatives
MaIntenance of the Status Quo would lead to a continuation of the problems noted In Section 1 on
pages 3 through 6 of the Specific Plan. This would also run counter to City objectives to remove
blight as envisioned by the MI. Vemon Redevelopment Project.
The larger Project Area Plan was not developad Into the Specific Plan because It was not conducive
to the extent of likely implementation resources available and did not best create the kind of
compact, walking environment expressed In the community goals summarized In Section 3 of the
Specific Plan.
7.7 RELATIONSHIPS BElWEEN LOCAL SHORT-TERM USES OF MAN'S ENVIRONMENT
AND THE MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF LONG TERM PRODUCTIVITY
The Paseo Las Placitas Specific Plan proposes a set of short-term uses of man's environment
which will enhance the' MaIntenance and Enhancement of long-term productivity by:
. creating additional shopping, entertainment and employment opportunities In an
unserved area which will reduce trip-lengths and associated energy loss and pollution
creation
. providing enhanced alternatives to automobile trip-making Including busses, rail,
pedestrian and bicycle which will conserve energy and reduce pollution
. adding significant amounts of trees to a currently barren area which will create additional
oxygen.

7.8 GROWTH INDUCING IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED ACTIONS
The Specific Plan Intensifies the use of the area In comparison to Its current use. This Is necessary
to eliminate the blighted conditions and address the goals of the plan. The SpecIfic Plan creates
this growth In an area defined for such growth In both the city of San Bernardino General Plan and
the MI. Vernon Redevelopment Plan.
7.9 SIGNIFICANT CUMULAnvE IMPACTS
The major cumulative Impact of the specific Plan will be an Increase In the Intensity of use. This
Increase in intensity Is Intended to be achieved as quickly as possible In order to address the
blighted conditions of the area All the Environmental Impacts of the Specific Plan are either
positive or mitigated through the Mitigation Measures described herein.
7.10 OTHER IMPACTS DETERMINED NOT SIGNIFICANT
An Environmental Checklist was prepared In accordance with the provisions of CECA and the City
of San Bernardino. This checklist was reviewed by the Development Review Committed
Environmental Review Committee of the City on September 26, 1991 and the other Issues were
determined to be not significant.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUAnON AND MITIGATION
MEASURES:
The Information presented below is based on information contained In the City's
General Plan as well as on input from the City of San Bernardino Planning and
Building Services Department.
The following items were noted as yes or maybe in Section C.
1. Earth Resources
1c. Maybe
Proposed development within the Specific Plan area may require excavation and
compaction of existing soil. The EIR will describe the existing conditions of the
proposed area, identified any potential impacts and recommend appropriate
mitigation measures.
19. Maybe
Potential ground failure areas due to existing levels of groundwater are identified
In the City's General Plan. The Specific Plan area is located In a "Moderate High
to Moderate" Uquefactlon susceptibility area. The EIR will describe the existing
conditions of the proposed area, Identified any potential Impacts and recommend
appropriate mitigation measures.
5. Noise
5b. Maybe
Development of new or expansion of existing commercial uses within the Specific
Plan area may generate higher noise levels. As new development occurs, it Is
anticipated that there will be significant short-term Impacts associated with
construction and COnstruction equipment. However, significant long-term Impacts

RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ON DRAFT E1R

o
RESPONSE TO COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT EIR
A. Department of 'n'ansportatlon - District 8
On September 26,1991 the Environmental Review Committee of the City of San
Bernardino concluded that there will not be an Increase In traffic that Is greater than
the land use designated In the General Plan. (See page 9, Item 9a of the
EnvIronmental Impact Checklist which was part of the Draft EIR.)
This conclusion was reached because the Circulation Element r1ghts-of.ways and the
Land Use Element land uses of the General Plan were designed In consort and the
(C) Commercial General Plan Land Use Designation allows a greater range and
Intensity of land use than does the Las Placltes Specific Plan.
