RESOLUTION NO.
2 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO SUPPORTING THE
REQUEST TO THE STATE OFFICE OF PLANNING AND RESEARCH FOR A
3 TIME EXTENSION TO COMPLETE THE GENERAL PLAN.
4 BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of San Bernardino requests
5 from the State Office of Planning and Research an extension of
6 time pursuant to Government Code Section 65361 to update the
7 following mandatory elements: Land Use, CirCUlation,
8 Conservation, Open Space, Noise and Safety.
9 The period of time requested is for two years from the
]0 date granted by the Director of the State Office of Planning
]] and Research. Although the proposed work program requires
-
]2 only 18 months, the additional time requested will allow the
]3 City to permit additional public review and comment, if
]4 warranted.
]5 THIS REQUEST IS BASED UPON THE FOLLOWING FACTS:
16
(1)
Previously the City has relied in part on land use
17 data from the Assessor of the County of San Bernardino. The
18 City further relies on the County of San Bernardino for the
19 coordination of data regarding forecasts of population,
20 traffic, new housing starts and employment from the Southern
2] California Association of Governments. The County of San
22 Bernardino is presently engaged in a comprehensive general
23 plan update which will result in the generation of substantial
24 new data of relevance to the City of San Bernardino's General
25 Plan. Further, that information is not scheduled to be
26 available for about 90 days, and the information directly
27 relates to the general plan requirements applicable to the
28 City of San Bernardino, a charter city.

(2) Recent amendments to the state Planning and Zoning
Law have expanded the scope of local general plans, and the
existing General Plan needs to be evaluated for conformity
with the new requirements, including, but not limited to,
Chapter 82 (Stats. 1986); Chapter 1383 (Stats. 1986); Chapter
574 (stats. 1986); and Chapter 2948 (stats. 1986).

General Plan, have generated substantial public controversy,
including litigation.
Saldecke and Sky v. citv of San
Bernardino, San Bernardino Superior Court 236836.
Based on
this controversy, the Council feels it is appropriate to
reassess the continuing viability of the goals and policies
contained in the current General Plan.
In addition, it has
been several years since the City has undertaken a
comprehensive general plan review.
Accordingly, neither the
current Council nor the citizenry are familiar with the
procedures to be followed in a comprehensive general plan
update.
A general plan extension would assist the city in
preparing and adopting a complete and adequate general plan by
allowing community input and development of common support.
Threatened or actual litigation would resu~t in undue pressure
to quickly update the General Plan and preclude valuable
23
public participation.
24
(4)
While not mandated by state law, the City desires
25
to incorporate in its General Plan revision appropriate land
26
use guidelines to plan for long term compatible land uses as
27
recommended by the Airport Compatible Use Zones (ACUZ) for

(5) The General Plan does not include the data
requirements of the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zones Act.
(However, the State Guidelines have been incorporated into the
environmental review process.)
(6) The City has initiated an 18-month comprehensive
update and revision of its General Plan in order to comply
with changes in the state law and guidelines since the
adoption of its original General Plan. A time extension would
allow concentration of staff resources and assist in the
preparation of a complete, integrated and internally
consistent revised General Plan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Common Council finds as
follows:
(1) Data required for the General Plan shall be provided
by another agency, and it has not yet been provided; and
(2) Other reasons exist that justify the granting of an
extension, so that the timely preparation and adoption of a
General Plan is provided.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was duly
adopted by the Mayor and Common Council of the city of San
Bernardino at a
meeting thereof, held-on
the
, 1987, by the following
day of
vote, to wit:
