This amendment proposes to delete the minimum residential room size standards in all land use districts and to revise the minimum dwelling size standards for non-infill single family detached dwellings in the RE (Residential Estates), RL (Residential Low), RS (Residential Suburban) and RU (Residential Urban) land use districts citywide. BACKGROUND On June 3, 1991 San Bernardino's new Development Code became effective. The residential room and unit size standards currently read as follows: KXNrHUK ROOK SXZE STANDARDS RQQm Minimum Area in Sauare Feet Garage Bedroom (excluding closets) Full bath Half bath 400 110 (140 average) 35 (50 average) 25 (30 average) KXNXHDH NON-XNFXLL SXNGLB-FAKXLY DWELLXNG SXZE STANDARDS The following minimum dwelling areas are computed by calculating the living area as measured from the outside of walls and excludes garages, carports, exterior courtyards, patios or balconies: Minimum Livable Area in Sauare Feet Minimum Averaae Livable Area in Sauare Feet I / I 1,200 1,700 75.0264 o o Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 Mayor and Common Council Meeting of February 3, 1992 Page 2 On October 21, 1991, an urgency ordinance was taken before the Mayor and Common Council to allow reductions from the required unit size requirements in the RS and RU land use districts through approval of a variance. The finding of urgency was based on a project submitted to the Planning Division for a 17-unit single- family subdivision with an average unit size of 1,450 square feet, which the developer submitted without consulting City codes, and was subject to losing the financing if the project could not be approved in October. Planning staff would have supported such a variance because the project is located within a nearly built out residential district where the average unit size is approximately 1,200 square feet and because the proposed 17-unit development was not enough to change the scale and character of the area, or to establish separate character for itself. However, the City Attorney advised the Mayor and Council that the finding for urgency was not valid, and Staff was directed to follow normal ordinance adoption procedures. Because the urgency aspect was invalidated, Staff was afforded the opportunity to develop a more fully conceived revision to the Development Code standards. Rather than pursue the variance concept, Staff considered wholesale revisions to the room and unit size requirements of the Development Code. On January 7, 1992, the following revisions to the Development Code were presented to the Planning Commission for consideration at a noticed public hearing: KINIMUK ROOK SIZE STANDARDS BQ.Q!!! Minimum Area in Sauare Feet Garage (2-car) All other 400 Refer to adopted UBC standards , MINIMUM NON-INFILL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DWELLING SIZE STANDARDS (Computed as before) Land Use District Minimum Livable Area in Sauare Feet Minimum Averaae Livable Area in Sauare Feet RE RL RS* RU 1,700 1,200 1,200 1,000 1,500 1,300 * When the proposed project is in an area that is 75% developed within a 1,000-foot radius, the minimum unit size may be reduced to 1,000 square feet and o o Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 Mayor and Common Council Meeting of February 3, 1992 Page 3 the average may be reduced to the average of the existing single-family dwelling units in the same land use district within 1,000 feet of the project perimeter. However, if this option is utilized and the average unit size of the existing dwellings within the above defined parameters exceeds the current Development Code requirements, the minimum average" unit size of the project shall equal the average unit size of those dwellings. The maximum size of the tract shall not exceed 40 acres or 160 units. The proposed revisions to unit size requirements were designed to reflect the physical and intended differences between the various residential land use districts, as specified in the General Plan. The provision to allow for a reduced unit size in certain RS districts is intended to promote the continuity of scale in established neighborhoods. The determination of room sizes is proposed to be left to market forces because it does not appear that the size of a bedroom or bathroom within a house has the potential of influencing other land uses. For purposes of comparison, staff recited the following unit size standards of neighboring cities to the Planning Commission: 't M' . t s' e M' , e* Colton RE 0.5 acre 7200 s.f. s.f. s a a a R-1-6000 R-1-C R-1-B R-A -A mu ma . nda 6000 s.f. 7700 s.f. 8400 s.f. 8400 s.f. o 000 s. no mi u 1200 s.f. 1200 s.f. 1400 s.f. 1600 s.f. o .f. 750 s.f. v 'd al *excludes garage (Source: telephone survey) None of the above listed cities requires a minimum average unit size. CBOA STATUS Article 5, Section 15061 (b) (3) of the California Environmental Quality Act states that, in general, CEQA applies only to projects that could have a significant effect on the environment (Section 15378 defines zoning ordinance amendments as "projects"). Where it can be determined with certainty that no possibility exists for a o cp Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 Mayor and Common Council Meeting of February 3, 1992 Page 4 project to have a significant effect on the environment, the project is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed amendment to the Development Code will not lead to an increase in the allowable density or intensity of residential development, Staff has determined that Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 is exempt from the provisions of CEQA. \ PLANNING COMMISSIOH RECOMMENDATIOH At the Planning Commission hearing of January 7, 1992, a motion to recommend adoption of Development Cede Amendment No. 91-08 did not carry due to a tie vote. An alternative motion to adopt the amendment with an increase in the RL standards to require a 1,500 square-foot minimum was not seconded. Ultimately no recommendation on the proposed amendment carried; rather, the Commission voted unanimously to request a meeting with the Mayor and Common Council to discuss the proposed revisions prior to Council action. MAYOR AND COUNCIL OPTIONS 1. The Mayor and Common Council may adopt the ordinance and approve Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 based on the findings contained in Exhibit 1. 2. The Mayor and Common Council may adopt the ordinance and approve Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 subject to revisions to the standards proposed by staff. 3. The Mayor and Common Council may deny Development Code Amendment No. 91-08. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council adopt the ordinance, copy attached, which adopts and approves Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 as presented.

Under the direction of the Legislative Review Committee (LRC), a Development Code amendment to revise Sections 19.04.030(2) (G) and (H) has been drafted for the Planning Commission's consideration. This amendment will delete the minimum residential room size standards in all land use districts and revise the minimum dwelling size standards for non-infill single family detached dwellings in the RE (Residential Estates), RL (Residential Low), RS (Residential Suburban) and RU (Residential Urban) land use districts citywide. CBOA STATUS Article 5, Section 15061(b) (3) of the California Environmental Quality Act states that, in general, CEQA applies only to projects that could have a significant effect on the environment (Section 15378 defines zoning ordinance amendments as .projects"). Where it can be determined with certainty that no possibility exists for a project to have a significant effect on the environment, the project is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed amendment to the Development Code will not lead to an increase in the allowable density or intensity of residential development, Staff has determined that Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 is exempt from the provisions of CEQA. BACltGROmm On June 3, 1991 San Bernardino's new Development Code became effective.

Minimum Livable Area in Souare Feet carports, exterior courtyards, Minimum Averaae Livable Area in Souare Feet 1,200 1,700 On October 21, 1991, an urgency ordinance was taken before the Mayor and Common Council to allow reductions from the required unit size requirements in the RS and RU land use districts through approval of a variance. The proposed ordinance also limited variance applications to areas where the t~ in question contain 20 or fewer undeveloped lots and the land within a 1000-foot radius of the project is 75 percent developed; this provision was designed to ensure that such an exception from the Code standards would be allowed only where the established character of a neighborhood consisted of unit sizes that fell below current standards and the size of the development would be too small to alter that character. The finding of urgency was based on a project submitted to the Planning Division for a l7-unit single-family subdivision with an average unit size of 1,450 square feet. The developer submitted the project after obtaining financing, but without consulting City codes, and was subject to losing the financing if the project could not be approved in October. Planning staff would have supported such a variance because the project is located within a nearly built out residential district where the average unit size is approximately 1,200 square feet and because the proposed 17-unit development was not enough to change the scale and character of the area, or to establish separate character for itself.

Further discussion of the issue was continued so that staff could be reach a compromise with the development community. On December 5, 1991, a final draft of the revised standards was submitted to the LRC.

However, if this option is utilized and the average unit size of the existing dwellings within the above defined parameters exceeds the current Development Code requirements, the minimum average unit size of the project shall equal the average unit size of those dwellings. The maximum size of the tract shall not exceed 40 acres or 160 units. umLYSIS The proposed revisions to unit size requirements are designed to reflect the physical and intended differences between the various land use districts, as specified in the General Plan. For example, the RE designation is intended to promote development that conveys an "estate" or "rural" character on lots that are at least one acre in area; whereas the RS designation is intended for single-family suburban development with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet. However, in all residential districts, a minimum average unit size of 1,700 square feet is currently required by the Development Code. The provision that would allow for a reduced unit size in certain RS districts is intended to promote the continuity of scale in established neighborhoodS. staff originally proposed that this reduction be limited to developments consisting of 20 units or less, because a larger project has the potential of establishing a character or "neighborhood" separate from the surrounding development. However, the compromise reached with the building industry included a concession to allow a cap of 160 units. The elimination of the room size requirements is fundamentally based on the concept that planning should not regulate activities based on their intrinsic value, but rather on how those activities affect others. The size of bedrooms in residential development, beyond minimum health and safety standards, has been influenced by the choices of home buyers. Families are smaller than in the past, and the need for bedrooms that can accommodate multiple family members has been diminished. The size of a bedroom or bathroom within a house does not appear to have the potential of generating an externality that would influence other land uses, either negatively or positively.

This amendment proposes to delete the minimum residential room size standards in all land use districts and to revise the minimum dwelling size standards for non-infill single family detached dwellings in the RE (Residential Estates), RL (Residential Low), RS (Residential Suburban) and RU (Residential Urban) land use districts citywide. BACKGROUIID On June 3, 1991 San Bernardino's new Development Code became effective. The residential room and unit size standards currently read as follows: MIIlIKUM ROOM SIZB STANDARDS BQ.Qm Minimum Area in Sauare Feet Garage Bedroom (excluding closets) Full bath Half bath 400 110 (140 average) 35 (50 average) 25 (30 average) MIIlIKUM IIOIl-IIIFILL SIIIGLE-FAKILY DWELLIIIG SIZB STANDARDS The following minimum dwelling areas are computed by calculating the living area as measured from the outside of walls and excludes garages, carports, exterior courtyards, patios or balconies: Minimum Livable Area in Sauare Feet Minimum Averaae Livable Area in Sauare Feet 1,200 1,700 5.0264 -..'''',':'':"'''',"'''!~-", o o Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 Mayor and Common council Meeting of February 3, 1992 Page 2 On October 21, 1991, an urgency ordinance was taken before the Mayor and Common Council to allow reductions from the required unit size requirements in the RS and RU land use districts through approval of a variance. The finding of urgency was based on a project submitted to the Planning Division for a 17-unit single- family subdivision with an average unit size of 1,450 square feet, which the developer submitted without consulting City codes, and was subject to losing the financing if the project could not be approved in October. Planning staff would have supported such a variance because the project is located within a nearly built out residential district where the average unit size is approximately 1,200 square feet and because the proposed 17-unit development was not enough to change the scale and character of the area, or to establish separate character for itself. However, the city Attorney advised the Mayor and Council that the finding for urgency was not valid, and Staff was directed to follow normal ordinance adoption procedures. Because the urgency aspect was invalidated, Staff was afforded the opportunity to develop a more fully conceived revision to the Development Code standards. Rather than pursue the variance concept, Staff considered wholesale revisions to the room and unit size requirements of the Development Code. On January 7, 1992, the following revisions to the Development Code were presented to the Planning Commission for consideration at a noticed public hearing: MINlMUH ROOM SIZB STANDARDS BQQ1\I Minimum Area in Sauare Feet Garage (2-car) All other 400 Refer to adopted UBC standards MINIMUM NON-IHPILL SINGLB-FAMILY DBTACHBD DWELLING SIZB STANDARDS (Computed as before) Land Use District Minimum Livable Area in Sauare Feet Minimum Averaae Livable Area in Sauare Feet RE RL RS* RU 1,700 1,200 1,200 1,000 1,500 1,300 * When the proposed project is in an area that is 75% developed within a 1,000-foot radius, the minimum unit size may be reduced to 1,000 square feet and ^-"~"h o o Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 Mayor and Common Council Meeting of February 3, 1992 Page 3 the average may be reduced to the average of the existing single-family dwelling units in the same land use district within 1, 000 feet of the proj ect perimeter. However, if this option is utilized and the average unit size of the existing dwellings within the above defined parameters exceeds the current Development Code requirements, the minimum average unit size of the project shall equal the average unit size of those dwellings. The maximum size of the tract shall not exceed 40 acres or 160 units. The proposed revisions to unit size requirements were designed to reflect the physical and intended differences between the various residential land use districts, as specified in the General Plan. The provision to allow for a reduced unit size in certain RS districts is intended to promote the continuity of scale in established neighborhoods. The determination of room sizes is proposed to be left to market forces because it does not appear that the size of a bedroom or bathroom within a house has the potential of influencing other land uses. For purposes of comparison, staff recited the following unit size standards of neighboring cities to the Planning commission: s * Colton RE 0.5 acre 7 2000 o Rialto R-1-6000 R-1-C R-1-B R-A 6000 s.f. 7700 s.f. 8400 s.f. 8400 s.f. 1200 1200 s.f. 1400 s.f. 1600 s. f. v a *excludes garage (Source: telephone survey) None of the above listed cities requires a minimum average unit size. CBOA STATUS Article 5, Section 15061 (b) (3) of the California Environmental Quality Act states that, in general, CEQA applies only to projects that could have a significant effect on the environment (Section 15378 defines zoning ordinance amendments as "projects"). Where it can be determined with certainty that no possibility exists fora o o Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 Mayor and Common Council Meeting of February 3, 1992 Page 4 project to have a significant effect on the environment, the project is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed amendment to the Development Code will not lead to an increase in the allowable density or intensity of residential development, Staff has determined that Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 is exempt from the provisions of CEQA. PLAHRING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At the Planning Commission hearing of January 7, 1992, a motion to recommend adoption of Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 did not carry due to a tie vote. An alternative motion to adopt the amendment with an increase in the RL standards to require a 1,500 square-foot minimum was not seconded. Ultimately no recommendation on the proposed amendment carried: rather, the commission voted unanimously to request a meeting with the Mayor and Common Council to discuss the proposed revisions prior to Council action. MAYOR AND COUlfCIL OPTIONS 1. The Mayor and Common Council may adopt the ordinance and approve Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 based on the findings contained-in Exhibit 1. 2. The Mayor and Common Council may adopt the ordinance and approve Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 subject to revisions to the standards proposed by staff. 3. The Mayor and Common Council may deny Development Code Amendment No. 91-08.

Under the direction of the Leqislative Review committee (LRC), a Development Code amendment to revise Sections 19.04.030(2) (G) and (H) has been drafted for the Planninq commission's consideration. This amendment will delete the minimWl residential room size standards in all land use districts and revise the minimWl dwellinq size standards for non-infill sinqle family detached dwellinqs in the RE (Residential Estates), RL (Residential Low), RS (Residential Suburban) and RU (Residential Urban) land use districts citywide. CBOA S'!'A'l'US Article 5, Section 15061(b) (3) of the California Environmental Quality Act states that, in qeneral, CEQA applies only to projects that could have a siqnificant effect on the environment (Section 15378 defines zoninq ordinance amendments as "projects"). Where it can be determined with certainty that no possibility exists for a project to have a siqnificant effect on the environment, the project is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed amendment to the Development Code will not lead to an increase in the allowable density or intensity of residential development, Staff has determined that Development Code Amendment No. 91-08 is ex_pt from the provisions of CEQA.

MinimUJll Livable Araa in Sauare Feet Minimum Averaoe Livable Ar.a in Sauara Faet 1,200 1,700 On October 21, 1991, an urgency ordinance was taken before the Mayor and Common Council to allow reductions from the required unit size requirements in the RS and RU land use districts through approval of a variance. The proposed ordinance also limited variance applications to areas where the tracts in question contain 20 or fewer undeveloped lots and the land within a 1000-foot radius of the project is 75 percent developed; this provision was designed to ensure that such an exception from the Code standards would be allowed only where the established character of a neighborhood consisted of unit sizes that fell below current standards and the size of the development would be too small to alter that character. The finding of urgency was based on a project submitted to the Planning Division for a 17-unit single-family subdivision with an average unit size of 1,450 square feet. The developer submitted the project after obtaining financing, but without consulting City codes, and was subject to losing the financing if the project could not be approved in October. Planning staff would have supported such a variance because the project is located within a nearly built out residential district where the average unit size is approximately 1,200 square feet and because the proposed 17-unit development was not enough to change the scale and character of the area, or to establish separate character for itself. However, the city Attorney advised the Mayor and Council that the finding for urgency was not valid, and Staff was directed to follow normal ordinance adoption procedures. Because the urgency aspect was invalidated, Staff was afforded the opportunity to develop a more fully conceived revision to the Development Code standards. Rather than pursue the variance concept, Staff considered wholesale revisions to the room and unit size requirements of the Development Code. On November 21, 1991, Staff presented the following concept to the Legislative Review Co_ittee (LRC): .. !'.llnll:.'=: 1.Iill.ll':ii ..

Further discussion of the issue was continued so that staff could be reach a compromise with the development community. On December 5, 1991, a final draft of the revised standards was submitted to the LRC. The LRC then recommended the followinq standards for adoption by the Mayor and Common Council: JaBIIlUII ROOK SIIB STUDARDS BQgm Minimum Area in Sauare Feet Garaqe (2-car) All other 400 Refer to adopted UBC standards JaBIllUll ROB-IRILL SIBeaLB-PUILY DBTACBBD DWBLLIBea SIIB STUDARDS (Computed as before) Land Use Dist.rict Minimum Livable Area in Sauare Feet Minimum Averaae Livable Area in Sauare Feet RE RL RS* RU* 1,700 1,200 1,200 1,000 1,500 1,300 ==.~ ~IL to.

However, if this option is utilized and the average unit size of the existing dwellings within the above defined parameters exceeds the current Development Code requirements, the minimum average unit size of the project shall equal the average unit size of those dwellings. The maximum size of the tract shall not exceed 40 acres or 160 units. ADLYSIS The proposed revisions to unit size requirements are designed to reflect the physical and intended differences between the various land use districts, as specified in the General Plan. For example, the RE designation is intended to promote development that convey. an nestaten or nrural n character on lots that are at least one acre in area: whereas the RS designation is intended for single-family suburban development with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet. However, in all residential districts, a minimum average unit size of 1,700 square feet is currently required by the Development Code. The provision that would allow for a reduced unit size in certain RS districts is intended to promote the continuity of scale in established neiqbborhoocls. Staff oriqinally proposed that this reduction be limited to developments consisting of 20 units or less, because a larqer project has the potential of establishinq a character or nneiqbborhoodn separate from the surrounding development. However, the compromise reached with the buildinq industry included a concession to allow a cap of 160 units. The elimination of the room size requirements is fundamentally based on the concept that planning should not regulate activities based on their intrinsic value, but rather on how those activities affect others. The size of bedrooms in residential development, beyond minimum health and safety standards, has been influenced by the choices of home buyers. Families are smaller than in the past, and the need for bedrooms that can accommodate multiple family members has been diminished. The size of a bedroom or bathroom within a house does not appear to have the potential of generating an externality that would influence other land uses, either negatively or positively. ==.~.~-= P\.ANoUI PAGEt OF 1 (4-10) CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVICES DEPARTMENT CASE DCA 91-08 OBSERVATIONS AGENDA ITEM HEARING DATE PAGE II 1-7-92 6 ,..

Ca. 92401 Dear Mr. Boughey: Subject: Development Code amendment. minimum home size The Development Code stipulates a 1700 sq. ft. minimum home size. The current compromise recommendation is 1200 sq. ft. I do not support either of the two standards. I am particularly concerned regarding the northern portion of our community. If consistency with existing development is to be a guideline for future development then 1200 sq. ft. is to small. The role of new housing in our community is an important policy question that needs to be more thoroughly defined in the General Plan. While it is important to the process of developing standards it is a subject left for another day. As a 3D-year resident of San Bernardino I have seen considerable development. To recommend, an "appropriate" standard I surveyed 30 subdivisions built over the past 15 years. While it is not a complete list. it is all the information I could gather and represents a reasonable cross-section of new homes (see attached survey). The survey is concentrated in the northern portion of the City since that is the area I feel most confident in offering a professional opinion. From the survey I have developed some conclusions: o o 1) Only 2 of the 8 subdivisions presently being sold contain homes less than 1350 sq. ft. 2) Only 10 subdivisions in the entire survey offered homes less than 1350 sq. ft. 3) Larger lot sizes result in larger homes. 4) Local builders tend to build larger homes when compared to all developers. I address my recommendations to that portion of the City lying east of Fry. 215 and north of Fry. 30. It is not that other areas of the City should have different standards but that I only feel confident in my research for the northern portion. My recommendations are: RE - 1700 sq. ft. RL - 1500 sq. ft. RS - 1350 sq. ft. (excluding cluster development) Any proposed regulation should be tested in the real world. If the 1350 sq. ft. standard were applied to Tract No. 13554 which is presently being built in the Northpark area, only 1 (11%) of their 5 floor plans would be eliminated. The question of how much first-time buyer (entry level) housing should be incorporated into new subdivisions is a matter of debate. I believe the City should sponsor financing to focus first-time buyers towards the existing housing market which would create a sale f~r the "move up" buyer. I do not recommend an "average" sq. ft. size. The formula becomes confusing and lends itself to varying interpretations. Builders will offer a range of home sizes in order to sell to a broad market. During the public hearing process the City Council retains the opportunity to condition individual tracts with a formula of home sizes as warranted. If we are to have standards at all they should be appropriate for San Bernardino. Neither the present Code or the committee recommendation fits our needs. If the Council wishes to discuss this matter further I am confident that other local builders will support my recommendation at future hearings.
