The applicant requests that the Mayor and Common Council reconsider the denial and temporarily approve the variance so that construc- tion of the parking lot could occur with slag, and in 12 months permanent asphalt would be installed. BACKGROUND Variance No. 89-3 is a request to not comply with Code Sec- tion 19.56.380. This section reads as follows: 19.56.350 Asphaltic concrete surfacing or paving. All areas shall be surfaced or paved with asphaltic concrete, concrete or other bitulithic surfacing acceptable to the commission and shall thereafter be maintained in good condition. The proposal EconoLodge on Camino Real. regards a 2.15 acre parcel north of the northwest corner of Fairway Drive the and The appeal is based on the desire for increased business from truckers, which the unpaved parking lot is proposed to accommodate (see appeal letters, Attachment A). A parking lot would be advantageous in this area, as semi- trucks are presently not being accommodated by the motel's off-street parking area. However, a properly designed and constructed parking lot should be constructed. On April 20, 1989, the Development Review Committee voted to recommend to the Planning Commission denial of Variance No. 89-3. On May 16, 1989, the Planning commission denied the variance request based on recommendations of the Development Review Committee and Findings of Fact. On May 30, 1989, the Planning Commission decision to deny the variance was appealed by the applicant. On June appeal time to project 19, 1989, the Mayor and Common Council continued the hearing to October 16, 1989 to allow the applicant file a Review of Plans application and have the reviewed by the Environmental Review Committee and 75-0264 Appeal of Mayor and PlanniJ;>commission Denial of Council Meeting of 11/20/89 .0 Var~ance No., 89-J Page 3 the Development Review Committee. On August 14, 1989, the applicant filed Review of Plans No. 89-49 with the Planning Department. This application is for the construction of the parking lot in three phases. On August J1, 1989, the Environmental Review Committee con- tinued the item for revised plans addressing several issues. Those items include: 1. Temporary irrigation and hydro seeding of non-paved and non-slagged surfaces during Phases I and II. 2. Resolution of points of ingress/egress, circulation patterns and general safety. J. six inch curbing to separate landscaped areas from truck traffic. 4. siting of a well that exists on the property which will need to be accommodated or relocated. As of November 8, 1989, these issues resolved by the applicant and final the Environmental Review Committee Committee has not taken place. oDtions Available to the Mavor and Council have still not been review and approval by and Development Review The Mayor 18, 1989 review of and Council may continue the item to the December Council meeting so that these issues and final the Review of Plans could take place. or The Mayor and Council may deny the appeal and deny Variance No. 89-J. prepared by: John Montgomery, AICP, Principal Planner for Larry E.

Approximately 82% of the subject property is located within the San Jacinto Fault Zone, where for health and safety reasons, no structures can be built. 2, At the present time, property owners to the north are allowed to park automobiles on dirt shoulders located on the east side of Camino Real. 3. Dust presently originating from the subject property, will be mitigated by surfacing with a non-toxic and non- corrosive slag. All surfacing materials will be compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 95%, 4, Long term plan is to pave and stripe this area once business is built up, Thank you for your anticipated courtesy.

MEMBERS OF nm cm OF SAN BERNARDOO, TO APPROVE APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE II 89-3, Th.e city of San Bernardino is loosing visitors and business clientele who stay in hotels to Riverside, Redlands and Fontana, We have explored a new type of clientele and have found a vast market with long-haul truckers delivering goods to the Inland ~ire area. We have the potential to INCREASE TAX REVENUES FOR TIlE cm by providing truck parking facilities at our hotel by using the pro- posed site which we have owned since purchasing the hotel in 1984; the property is and was a part of the hotel, We are appealing to all the members of the approval camti.ttee to consider our application and approve it, TIle hotel anp10ys 40 people on a year around basis and produces a payroll of substantial nunbers which in turn is spent in our CCIlIlllnity, Th.e hotel occupancy tax at our hotel is now approx:lmate1y $80,000 per year and will increase significantly with our ability to aCcaJDdate additional truckers, It will be IIIOre difficult for our hotel to create new business when Norton Air Force Base is closed, TIle new Visitors and Convention Bureau is trying to increase our business. trying to give reasons and justify why these people lIIJSt stay in San Bernardino and spend their mmey in our local econany, TIlere is no hotel in San Bernardino that has this size of valuable land to accCtllll)date the truck parking for guests staying at the hotel, We feel we need to be penn:itted to proceed with our plans to develope the parking lot, Econo Lodge Conference Center 668 Fairway Drive at 1-10 and 1-215 Orange Show Road.

We feel we can increase our share of the market to attract 1IIJre traffic to our hotel since we have easy-on, easy-off exit/entry points due to our advantagious location at the intersection of 1-10 and 1-215, which are main arterials connecting east and west on 1-10, and north and south on 1-215, By doing so we have a potential to increase our business by 207- and create 1IIJre jobs and also keep our facility open and in operation, and not have to close down our facility due to financial problems and/or difficulties, We would like to sustain our business and be part of a growing economy and help the city collect m:>re tax reverroes, This hotel has also been able to serve the local market by providing an economy budget luxury property with meeting and banquet facilities, an entertaiI1ment lounge, and a bane for the fBllDUS radio stations KFXM and KDOO, We will very IIlJch appreciate your approval on a conditional basis as sul::mitted currently, I hope you will approve our application and help us survive I May I count on your support?

SITE LOCATION The subject site is a 2.15 acre parcel located immediately north of an existing motel on the northwest corner of Fairway Drive and Camino Real. The site has a frontage of 229.5 feet along Camino Real. 3, MUNICIPAL CODE AND INTERIM POLICY DOCUMENT CONFORMANCE The proposal is inconsistent with the SBMC as shown in Attachment A. It is consistent with the Interim Policy Document (IPD) adopted by the Mayor and Common Council on May 23, 1987, amended on June 6, 1987 and August 1, 1987 and approved by the State Office of Planning Research on June 9, 1988, which designates the site as CG, commercial General which allows for parking lots. 4. CEOA STATUS section 15270 of the California. Environmental Quality Act states that CEQA does not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves. It allows for initial screen- ing of an application on its merits and the granting of a disapproval prior to initiation of the CEQA process. This section of CEQA was used in this case. An Initial Study was not prepared and the Environmental Review Committee did not review this project. 5, BACKGROUND A Conditional Development Permit CDP616 for a motel was approved by Planning Commission on July 5, 1972, and by Common Council on July 17, 1972 for the parcel just south of the project site. The motel currently existing on the site .J ~ ,crrv OF SAra. ~RNARDINO PLANN OBSERVATIONS DEPARTMENT CASE VaRRQ_l 11 ~-lb-tsl;;f 3 AGENDA ITEM HEARING DATE PAGE , is seeking the parking lot variance. Conditional Use Permit No.87-28 to remodel an abandoned off- premise sign on the project site was denied by the Planning Commission on February 2, 1988. The denial was upheld on appeal to Mayor and Common Council on May 2, 1988. 6. ANALYSIS PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS The site is relatively flat with the San Jacinto fault zone running from the northwest to the southeast and is in an identified area with high-susceptibility to liquefaction. SURROUNDING CONDITIONS The surrounding properties are also relatively level. The property north of the project site is currently occupied by a vacant former restaurant, however, an auto service center is proposed for the site. This property to the immediate north of the project site is part of the Southeast Industrial Park Redevelopment Area. Approximately 200 feet north of the project site is the boundary defining the southerly limit of the regional Auto Plaza area. To the south is the existing motel, to the west is vacant land and to the east is the Interstate,215 freeway. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Preliminary review of the environmental concerns of this variance point to two (2) areas where the potential adverse impacts would be difficult to mitigate to a level of insigni- ficance. The first impact is the increase in levels of dust put into the air by vehicles driving on an unpaved area. In addition to the air quality impacts, the increas~-dust levels could pose a safety hazard on the adjacent roads and freeways. The second impact is the potential for contamin- ation to the groundwater from vehicle leaks. The groundwater level at the project site is high and is a major aquifer in the region. The primary mitigation for both these impacts . ,CIJ"V OF SAO. ERNARDINO PLAN OBSERVATIONS .... DEPARTMENT CASE VAR89-3 AGENDA ITEM 11 HEARING DATE 5-16-89 PAGE would be paving of the parking area. PERMITTED USES The site plan submitted with this Variance 89-3 Applications shows a 10 x 10 foot dog kennel along the south property line. Under San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 19.78.020, dog kennels require a Conditional Use Permit. 7. COMMENTS RECEIVED The project was reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC) on April 20 1989. The ORC made a recommendation for denial to the Planning Commission. The following were issues of concern: ' Parks and Recreation Department: 5-foot required setback to be landscaped and separated from driving areas with a 6-inch curb. Interior landscaping of 5% is required. Public Services: Refuse enclosure required; flooding and resultant mud problems. Public Works/Engineering: Widening of Camino Real and curb and gutter improvements required; with no drive aisles and stripped parking stalls, traffic congestion and circulation are safety problems; dust control problem; noise impacts on motel. Water Department: High groundwater and potential for groundwater contamination. Police Department: Security lighting required; dust control problems; traffic congestion; lack of emergency vehicle access. The Police Department opposes the project as proposed.

CONCLUSIONS The Municipal Code requires that all parking lots be paved with asphaltic concrete, concrete or other bitulithic sur- facing.
