BACKGROUND On December 15 , 1987 , after conducting a public hearing, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit 87-68 . Five Commissioners voted in favor of the proposal , two in opposition, and one abstained. (See Attachment A) On December 22 , 1987 , Lester J. Melzer, who resides at 711 East 21st Street near the site of the proposed senior citizens center, filed an appeal of the Planning Commission' s approval , contending that: 1. Rental use of the facility could keep it open past the stated closing time of 5: 00 p.m. 2. The traffic study did not take into account the reopening of Pacific High School in 1989 . 3 . The center belongs in a commercial zone due to the possibility of rental use of the facilities. 4 . There is no public transportation on 21st Street . 5 . The proposed center should be relocated north of the YMCA building. 6. The demographic statistics supporting the need for a senior center in the area are inaccurate. 7 . Too much time was allowed to elapse since Senior Center Bond Act funds became available for this project . Now, the choice is between approving this proposed site and losing the Bond Act funds , and public notice of the proposal has occurred too late to make a difference in the location of the pro- ject . Moreover, there are several nutrition programs offered at other locations in the City. Appeal of Conditional Use Permit 87-68 Mayor and Common Council Meeting of 01/19/88 January 5, 1988 Page 2 8 . The proposed senior citizens center could have a detrimental effect on surrounding property values . 9 . It is not clear who would pay the wages of em- ployees at the proposed center . On December 28 , 1987 , Aaron and Lola Smith, who reside at 597 East 21st Street also filed an appeal of the Planning Commission ' s approval (Attachment C) , contending that : 1 . The proposed senior center is to be located at a site which the public uses extensively as a picnic area and open space . 2 . There is already a consistently steady flow of traffic on 21st Street . 3 . The demographic statistics used are derived from obsolete 1980 census figures and are not currently applicable. 4 . The Planning Commission was not unanimous in its approval of the Conditional Use Permit . An additional appeal of condition number one regarding the relocation of existing mature trees with the project site was received by the Public Works Department (Attachment D) . ANALYSIS Traffic 21st Street is a collector street and provides four lanes for vehicle traffic . A traffic analysis of the site was prepared by the Public Works Department . City engineers project that the total traffic volume on 21st Street including the estimated traffic generated by the senior citizen center and the reopening of Pacific High School will remain well within the street ' s capacity and will not adversely affect the levels of service on 21st Street or at the intersection of 21st Street and Valencia Avenue. Public Transportation Omnitrans Route 18, the Highland Crosstown route, and Route 1, the 49th Street-Colton Route both make stops at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Waterman Avenue . There is no bus service along Highland Avenue immediately north of the site of the proposed senior citizens center . The Omni- 0 4 Appeal of Conditional Use Permit 87-68 Mayor and Common Council Meeting of 01/19/88 January 5 , 1988 Page 3 trans Dial-A-Ride Gold Service provides door-to-door transit for senior and handicapped citizens . Relocation of Picnic Facilities The picnic facilities which will be eliminated in order to accommodate the senior citizens center are scheduled for relocation north of the YMCA during Fiscal Year 1987-88 . The play yard will also be relocated just north of the senior citizen-YMCA parking lot; it will be at a safe distance from both 21st Street and Highland Avenue. Demographic Statistics Although the statistics used to support the need for a senior center at the proposed location are from the 1980 census and therefore several years old, they are the most recent statis- tics available and the best source of information to use in evaluating the proposed project . Overall demographic trends indicate that it is reasonable to expect the current popula- tion to contain more, not fewer, senior citizens than it did in 1980 . Site Location The other nutrition programs cited by Mr. Melzer are all outside of the service area of the proposed center . Regard- ing the site location within Perris Hill Park , the original site considered for the project was at 900 E. Highland Avenue. It was later determined that the currently proposed site on the north side of 21st Street was more desireable due to the availability of existing means of access and parking facilities and the possibility of coordinating programs with the senior citizen activities offered by the YMCA, and plans were drawn up for that site . The change in location is one reason the proposal took so long to come before the Planning Commission . Property Values There is no evidence that senior citizen centers have a detrimental impact on property values in the neighborhoods in which they are located. The Vote of the Planning Commission The fact that the Planning Commission ' s vote for approval of the project was not unanimous is not in itself a basis for making an appeal . { { I Appeal of Conditional Use Permit 87-68 3 Mayor and Common Council Meeting of 01/19/88 January 5, 1988 Page 4 Employee Wages Employees of the proposed senior citizens center will work for the Parks and Recreation Department and will be paid by the City of San Bernardino . However , positions directly connected with the nutrition program will be funded by Federal grant monies administered by the County. Rental Use of the Facility Renting space in the proposed senior citizen center does not require location in a commercial zone . Many types of assem- bly areas including churches, clubs , and fraternal organiza- tions are allowed in any zone subject to a conditional use permit . The precise types and times of such rental uses will be a matter for Parks and Recreation Department policy and cannot be addressed at this stage . CONCLUSION There is sufficient information to demonstrate the need for a senior citizen center in the area surrounding the proposed site. The site was selected as the most cost effective means of providing services to senior citizens in the area . The traffic analysis prepared by the Public Works Department indicates that 21st Street has more than sufficient capacity to accommodate the additional traffic generated by the senior citizen center and the reopening of Pacific High School several blocks away. COUNCIL ACTION The Council may deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission ' s approval of Conditional Use Permit 87-68 or may uphold the appeal and deny the Conditional Use Permit . If the Council chooses to uphold the approval of the Conditional Use Permit , it may apply conditions of approval . Appeal of Conditional Use Permit 87-68 Mayor and Common Council Meeting of 01/19/88 January 5, 1988 Page 5 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Common Council deny the appeal and approve Conditional use Permit 87-68 .

ACTION Meeting Date: December 15, 1987 X Approved Adoption of Negative Declaration and Adoption of Request Subject to the Following Findings of Fact and Conditions of Approval (Attachment A) . Denied. Other. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The proposed use conforms to the objectives of the City's General Plan Elements in that Policy 27 of the Open Space Element calls for the development of a well balanced and accessible system of regional community and neighborhood parks providing for a variety of public needs. 2. The proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located in that it will provide recreational , leisure, and educational programs and will serve the substantial number of people living in the vicinity of Perris Hill Park who are above the age of 65 . 3 . The size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow the full development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of San Bernardino, in that the project will meet Municipal Code Standards regarding access and circulation adequate provision for parking will be made and an important segment of the population will receive needed services in a pleasant location easily accessible to them. ti I � l ` City of San Bernardino STATEMENT OF OFFICIAL PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Conditional Use Permit No. 87-68 Page 2 4 . The traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed to carry the traffic in the area and that adequate parking is provided in that the addition of 25 new parking spaces to the 70 existing spaces is adequate mitigation for the generation of new parking needs , and the Department of Public Works has determined that the projected 423 vehicle trips per day which the center will generate will not adversely affect the level of service on 21st Street . 5 . Granting Conditional Use Permit No . 87-68 , will not be detrimental to the peace, health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of San Bernardino in that the proposed Senior Citizen ' s Center will provide services and programs which will benefit many elderly citizens of the community.

Now this isn' t true if there are some rentals, then it will close at 10:00 P.I.-I. , same as the park. 2. TrEEffl.0 Impact Report. 21L,tt: S•t;rc;��t: �:.is i;hi- t1 ri an averai e daily traffic of 6, 100 vehicles. Now the report states a total of 423 Vehicles increase per day with the opening of the center. We question these f igurescame from, and was told from a near by restaurant. Bearin mind , Pacific high will open in 1989, and you are looking at another Increase of at least 2000 vehicles, 21st street will be a mad house, to get out of your drive way, plus 21st Street wasn' t built to handle -that :mount of traffic. I feel another study is in order. 3, 4. 2. 1. I feel that the "0" open space,would have to be changed. Vow 3. 2. 2. Project Characteristics, state a 2000 square foot auditorium for nutrition display, a group meeting. large classes, and LJINTALS. Nov: this word RENTAL puts the center in a commercial class and should be zoned C-3A. 4. There is no public transportion for Senior Citizen Center Oil 21st Street, 5. I will go along with the center if you relocate it north of Y .M.C.A . there is plenty of room and you could mak-a a cut out on Highland Ave, so vehicle could let out passenger, this would not cause any problem on Highland Ave. 6. I--Ir John Crammer stated that there is 17% of the population that are .retired, and 520 minorety, and 500 of the population income is below or at poverty level in a 2 square mile radius from the center. We live in what we call middle-class and 90% of the population are working class, with children. The homes in this radius from the renter are selling from $79, 950 to $83,000 Uese homes are sellin . Pow you need a job to purchase on of these home. I feel Mr. Crammer should check his figures again. 7• Chairman Roy Nuiman, ask Mir crammer why he could not move the center north of the Y.iK.C.A . The answer was that it is to late, as they would have to start over again and time was running out. This same question was •a:-k by most of .the board. Mr Crammer stated if the Permit. No 87-68 wasn' t approve the: center would lose the money. Mr Crammer stated this was a do or you lose'. This has been going on sense September 4; 1985. Th'_s was the i _2 - AD 0 notice I recevied about the center except what I read in the Sun paper but not a word: about any meeting. I did call Councilman Reilly about ;� 3• suggestion of relocating the center northof the Y.M.C.A. in May of 1737, even then they had there minds made up. Mr Crammer all so statdd i- would only be used about 50%, if that is true why spend the money. you could have buss service to Highland Del Rosa Senior Center, here again Mr. Crammer stated there was only one complete*center at Fifth St, you have two not one and six nutrition center all below Highland Ave. 4. 2 Environmental Effects. That the impact report from Park•? Recreation Dept required on the Snior Citizen Center did not adequately adress environmental effects and failed to take project changes into account. 8. The question was raised, what will this do to the Value of our properties. I am still waitting for Mr. Crammer ans::er. 9. Now one last question. If and when the center is complete who will pay the employee wages? Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Very truly yours Lester J. Melzer cc Mayor Wilcox Annie Ramos.

Items that relate to the above appeal: 1. Location of anticipated senior center in an established small neighborhood park that is used extensiely by people of all ages, including many families and employed groups using the picnic facilities and small game areas . 2. Consistent steady flow of daily motor vehiale traffic on 21st Street The congestion id due to normal routine use serving County Hospital, St. Bernardine ' s Hospital, Junvenile Hall, The Uptown Falily YMCA and the reopening of Pacific Highschool in September 1988. All of this is compounded by Pedestrians taking turns trying to cross 21st Street in between cars. 3. Census figures used are obsolete and not applicable for current data evaluation. 4. Environmwnt Preservation pertaining to preserving ttreees,grass and lawn area that is needed and appreciated by the many 4 r e viho.-_ _ use the park often. 1`' '♦ 5. The Planning Commission did not have a unified vote. 1 abstained, 2 voted no# and yes. The above letter is an appeal. Thank you for much careful consideration in reevaluating the needs of a senior citizen relocation that will allow. much room f .b w expansion over the years ahead and most of all that the Plane Commission and the City of San Bernardino can well be proud of. a Sincerely, 0 0 " 'C}7 Li IJ�I ATTACHMENT D CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - MEMORANDUM f ANN SIRACUSA, Director ROGER G.

Appeal of Conditions of File No. 7 . 3724 Approved Date This memo is an appeal of Condition of Approval No. One on Attachment "C" . The conditions states that "Existing mature trees that will be disturbed by the project shall be relocated elsewhere in the Perris Hill Park" . This condition should be deleted for the following reasons: 1 . The trees are Fruitless Mulberry in relatively poor condition. This type of tree requires above average maintenance and does not fit into the overall treescape of the park. 2 . Thirteen trees would have to be relocated at an estimated cost of $15 ,000 to $20, 000 . This cost would be a serious burden because we are currently cutting back the center to reduce cost sufficiently so we can award a contract . 3 . Four new Purple Leaf Plum Trees , and various other landscap- ing , are being planted in front of the center . This type of tree will be more in keeping with the scale and architecture of the building , as well as requiring less maintenance . 4. This condition was not brought up verbally at ERC or Plan- ning Commission. Although the need for removal of some trees was discussed at ERC , I do not recall any specific mitigations being required. Since new trees are being planted, that should be sufficient mitigation. If we can provide further information, please contact me at 5179 . ROGER G.

C_F:S?A_STAZ'U At its regulary scheduled meeting of November 19 , 1987 , the Envitonn•ental Review Committee recommended a Negative Declaration for Conditional Use Permit No. 87-68 . 5 . BACKGROUND The site is currently a deteriorates] picr(.ic area v,hich i ; scheduled for demolition during Fiscal Year 1987-8e . A few trees will. have to be removed to accomodate t1le project , but some are diseased a.nd ire already scheduled for removal . At its meeting of July 23 , 1987 , the Environmental Review Comr,:ittee stiF'ulated that existing mature trees that will be c]i-St-"" bed by t1le project shall be relocated elsewhere in the park . This stipulation will tie a condition of approval for the project . The Mayor arc] Common Council have enacted an amendment to the t(xt- of the MUriCipal Code as it pertains to uses permitted r t 1�e Open Space Zore. The c,r(:et do+E'r!t provision to the ordinance, "19 .44 . 020 (1 ) PetnOZ+rE'n structures which are related to park and recreational activities arid rF(�Ulte addit:ianj,l. harking spaces (except for rest rooms, concession stands, etc . ) subject to a Use Permit . " The amendment received its second reading at the i CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING DEPARTMENT CASE CUP 87-68 OBSERVATIONS AGENDA ITEM HEARING DATE 12/15/9-7 PAGE Council meeting of November 16, 1987 , and will become effective after a 30 day period. The City Attorney's Office has advised the Planning Department that it is permissible during that 30-day period, for the Planning Commission to approve a project contingent on the effective date of the ordinance amendment . On May 13 , 1987 , the Mayor and Common Council adopted Resoluticn 5593 authorizing the execution of a 50 year lease with the YMCA of an area abutting the east side of the site of the proposed Senior Citizen Center . Although users of the YMCA facility utilize the existing 79 parking spaces west of the facility, said parking spaces are part of the site of the proposed Senior Citizen Center and are not part of the area leased to the YMCA. The State of California Department of Aging has made Senior Citizen Bond Act Fund available to the City of San Bernardino for the proposed center . 6 . ANALYSIS Traffic The attached Traffic Impact Report (see Attachment E, Appendix B) prepared by the City of San Bernardino Public Works Department concludes that "the proposed Senior Citizen Center will not significantly impact the level of service at the intersection of Valencia Avenue and 21st Street . (70 percent of the traffic entering or leaving the proposed Senior Center is expected to pass through this intersection) 21st Etreet i.E cesi,r_atec as a collector street . It carries an average daily traffic of 6100 vehicles. The total number of 423 trigs per day generated by the Senior Center would not adver:,eiy impact the street level of service. " ParkingLAccess and Internal Circulation The attached Traffic Impact Report (see Attachment E,Appendix B) projects a peak demand of 90 parking spaces to serve both the YMCA building and outdoor pool and the proposed Senior Center . This projection is based on a. worst case scenario which assumes simultaneous peak use hours for the YMCA and the proposed Senior Citizen Center . Actually, the peak use hours of the proposed center will probably be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. .due to the nutritional program. Peak use hours for CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING DEPARTMENT CASE CUP 87-68 OBSERVATIONS AGENDA ITEM 5 HEARING DATE 12/ 15/87 PAGE - 5 the YMCA are 4 p.m. to 6 p .m. The propos ec, Seniol CJ t i rFn C(-nte1. �jill close at 5 p.m. The Site Plan (Attachment F) indicates that 25 new parking spaces will. be added to the existing 79 spaces for a total of 104 parking spaces .

Compatibility_with Surrounding Park Vie Site Plan (Attachment G) indicates trees and landscaped aiec),,: on three sides of the proposed structure.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING DEPARTMENT CASE CUP 87-63 FINDINGS of FACT AGENDA ITEM HEARING DATE 7 PAGE 1 ATTACHMENT B 1 . The proposed use conforms to the objectives of the City ' s General Plan Elements in that Policy 27 of the Open Space Element calls for the development of a well balanced and accessible system of regional community and neighborhood parks providing for a variety of public needs . 2 . The proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located in that it will provide recreational , leisure , and educational programs and will serve the substantial number of people living in the vicinity of Perris Hill Park who are above the age of 65 . 3 . The size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow the full development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of San Bernardino, in that the project will meet Municipal Code Standards regarding access and circulation adequate provision for parking will be made and an important segment of the population will receive needed services in a pleasant location easily accessible to them. 4 . The traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed to carry the traffic in the area and that adequate parking is provided in that the addition of 25 new parking spaces to the 79 existing spaces is adequate mitigation for the generation of new parking needs , and the Department of Public Works has determined that the projected 423 vehicle trips per day which the center will generate will not adversely affect the level of service on 21st Street . 5 . Granting Conditional Use Permit No . 87-68 , will not be detrimental to the peace, health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of San Bernardino in that the proposed Senior Citizen ' s Center will provide services and problems which will benefit many elderly citizens of the community.

As stated in Section 15063 of the State of California Envi- ronmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines , the purposes of an Initial Study are to: 1 . Provide the Lead Agency with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an EIR or a Negative Declaration. 2 . Enable an applicant or Lead Agency to modify a project , mitigating adverse impacts before an EIR is prepared, thereby, enabling the project to qualify for a Negative Declaration . 3 . Assist the preparation of an EIR, if one is re- quired by: a. Focusing the EIR on the effects determined to be significant . b. Identifying the effects determined not to be significant . C. Explaining the reasons for determining that potentially significant effects would not be significant . 4 . Facilitate environmental assessment early in the design of a project . 5 . Provide documentation of the factual basis for the finding in a Negative Declaration that a project will not have a significant effect on the environ- ment . 6. Eliminate unnecessary EIR' s. 7. Determine whether a previously prepared EIR could be used with the project . 1-1 0 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - Planning Department INITIAL STUDY - Conditional Use Permit 87-68 Senior Citizens Center - 21st Street 5 San Gabriel Street 2 .0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2.1 Proposed Project The request is for approval of a Conditional Use Permit under the authority of Code Section 19 .44 . 020 (I) to construct a senior citizens center in Perris Hill Park . 2.2 Project Impacts Impacts identified in the attached checklist (Appendix A) include: 6.a .

(See Location Map, Exhibit A) 3 .2 Site and Project Characteristics 3 .2.1 Existing Conditions The site is currently a deteriorated picnic area which is scheduled for demolition during Fiscal Year 1987-88 . A few trees will have to be removed to accomodate the project , but some are diseased and are already scheduled for removal . 3 .2 .2 Project Characteristics The proposed senior citizen center will encompass 5820 square feet . The center will provide programs and services including senior nutrition and nutrition education, social day care, information and referral , health checks, recreation, consumer education, recre- ational and cultural trips, senior exercise, tax and rental assistance, the Phone Alert League, the Senior Companion Program, and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. The structure will include a 456 square foot game room with two billiard tables, a 456 square foot activity room for multiple uses including rentals , a 121 square foot office for facility and program management only, 367 square feet for restrooms, a 1 ,000 square foot lobby for pedestrian traffic and informational display, a 2 ,000 square foot auditorium for nutrition programs , group meetings , large classes , and rentals , , and a 1 ,400 square foot kitchen which will include space for nutrition program administration . (See Floor Plan, Exhibit B) The hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 8: 00 a .m. to 5: 00 p.m. except holidays . Paved sidewalks and landscaping will be provided on the east , north and south sides of the building . There will be a driveway 20 feet in width providing access to a 3-1 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - Planning Department INITIAL STUDY - Conditional Use Permit 87-68 Senior Citizens Center - 21st Street & San Gabriel Street paved area on the west (rear) side of the building . This paved area will serve for kitchen deliveries and will also contain the refuse enclosure. The paved area provides back up and turn around space for exiting vehicles . (See Site Plan, Exhibit C) Twenty five new parking spaces will be provided in front of the proposed senior citizen center . Four of these will be designated handicapped parking and two wheel chair ramps will be provided . Including the existing 79 spaces west of the YMCA building, the total number of parking spaces will be 104 . An existing two way drive- way and a new driveway 25 feet in width will provide access to the parking area from 21st Street . (See Site Plan, Exhibit C) l 3-2 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - Planning Department c INITIAL STUDY - Conditional Use Permit 87-68 Senior Citizens Center - 21st Street & San Gabriel Street 4 .0 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 4 .1 Environmental Setting The irregularly shaped site encompasses approximately 1 .5 acres . It is bounded on the south by 21st Street which is designated as a secondary arterial (collector) street by the East San Bernardino-Highland General Plan . Highland Avenue north of the site is designated as a major arterial street and Valencia Street west of the site is designated as a secondary arterial street . The area- immediately east of the site and bounded on the north by Highland Avenue, on the south by 21st Street , and on the east of East Twin Creek flood control channel is leased by the City to the YMCA. The leased area contains a YMCA building and approximately 11 unmarked parking spaces . There are 79 marked parking spaces west of the area leased to the YMCA. These parking spaces are strictly for park use; however , users of the YMCA use the spaces periodically. Nearby land uses on the north side of Highland Avenue are commercial in nature. Land uses west of the site include park space and St . Bernardine ' s Hospital . There is a single family residential neighborhood south of the site. The site and its immediate surroundings to the east, the west , and the north are zoned "0" Open Space. Nearby parcels on the north side of Highland Avenue are zoned C-3A, Limited General Commercial . The area south of the site is zoned R-1-7200, Single Family Residential . 4 .2 Environmental Effects Each item checked "yes" on the environmental checklist is identified below, followed by recommended mitigation measures if needed. An explanation of the finding that the project will not create a visual impact detrimental to the surrounding area is also provided. 4 .2 .1 6.a. Will the proposal result in a change in the land use as designated on the General Plan? A senior citizen center in a park area designated as Open Space in the General Plan constitutes a change in 4-1 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - Planning Department INITIAL STUDY - Conditional Use Permit 87-68 Senior Citizens Center - 21st Street & San Gabriel Street land use . However , Code Section 19 .44 .020 (I) , regard- ing land uses in the "O" Open Space District , permits "permanent structures which are related to park and recreational activities and require additional parking spaces . . .subject to a Conditional Use Permit . " A major function of the proposed senior center is to provide recreational , leisure, and educational programs in conformance with the aforementioned code section . Therefore no mitigation is required . 4 .2 .2 9 .a. Could the proposal result in an increase in traffic greater than the land use designated on the General Plan? The attached Traffic Impact Report (Appendix B) prepared by the City of San Bernardino Public Works Department concludes that "The proposed senior citizens center will not significantly impact the level of service at the intersection of Valencia Avenue and 21st Street . . 21st . Street is designated as a collector street . It carries an average daily traffic of 6,100 vehicles . The total number of 423 trips per day generated by the senior center would not adversely impact the street level of service . " No mitigation is necessary. 4 .2 .3 9 .b . Could the proposal result in use of existing, or demand for new, parking facilities? The attached Traffic Impact Report (Appendix B) projects a peak demand of 90 parking spaces to serve both the YMCA building and outdoor pool and the proposed senior center . The site plan indicates that 25 new parking spaces will be added to the existing 79 spaces for a total of 104 parking spaces . This provides more than adequate mitigation for the generation of new demand for parking spaces . 4 .2 .4 12 .b. Will the visual impact of the project be detrimental to the surrounding area? The site plan (Exhibit C) indicates trees and landscaped areas on three sides of the proposed structure . A masonry retaining wall to the south of the building will provide interesting variety in the landscaping . The elevations (Exhibit D) show an attractive architectural design; windows on all four sides and an interesting treatment of the roof provide rhythm and variety to the appearance of the structure . The battan steel roof will not give the appearance of a metal roof and will be 4-2 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - Planning Department INITIAL STUDY - Conditional Use Permit 87-68 Senior Citizens Center - 21st Street & San Gabriel Street compatible with the park setting . The scale of the building is also appropriate to its setting . l 4-3 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - Planning Department INITIAL STUDY - Conditional Use Permit 87-68 Senior Citizens Center - 21st Street & San Gabriel Street 5 .0 REFERENCES Annie Ramos , Director of Parks , Recreation, and Com- munity Services Memorandum of October 27 , 1987 to R.

Brock : This is in reply to your letter of 11 -03-37 , relating to use of the parking lot and access to 21st Street . Our response has been delayed until the Traffic Impact Report by our Traffic Engineering Section was completed . A total of 104 parking spaces will be provided by expansion and striping of the parking lot . The Traffic Analysis projected that the combined parking demand of the YMCA and Senior Citizens Center will be 90 . This assumes the worst case situation , since the peak parking periods for each facility will not generally coincide . Access to a street is always a matter of concern . Twenty-First Street is a collector , with a moderate amount of traffic . Pro- viding direct access to a street of this type normally presents no unusual problems . However , we will carefully monitor the situation to determine if any additional traffic controls are in order . The Traffic Impact did not identify any problems in this regard , so none are expected . Thank you for your comments on this project . Please advise if you have any questions .

Mr. Roger Hardgraves w �' Director, Public Works City of San Bernardino 300 No. "D" Street San Bernardino, CA. 92418 Dear Mr. Hardgraves: - Last week I received a telephone call from Mr. Tim Porter concerning the new proposed Senior Center in Perris Hill Park. Mr. Porter asked me questions concerning the Uptown YMCA and the parking lot. I expressed my concerns on the parking lot as well as seniors exit- ing onto 21st Street. Mr. Porter urged that I write you about my concerns. First, I must relate that I am not against having a Senior Center. I am against over crowding a parking lot that already Qs is axe :* I am also a- t fraid of having senior citizens pulling onto 21st StY`-eef, especially in consideration of Pacific High School reopening. I urge you to carefully study the situation. There are quite a few times I have trouble getting out of our parking lot and I don't have the slow reflexes of a senior citizen. Sincerel_y� Ken A.
