CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT: APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT NO. 95-14, TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 14830 AND
VARIANCE NO. 95-08.
REQUEST/LOCATION: The appellant requests denial of Conditional Use Permit No. 95-14,
Tentative Parcel Map No. 14830 and Variance No. 95-08, which would permit the construction
of a 24 hour towing and impound facility on a 1.61 acre parcel. The parcel map is being
processed concurrently in order to subdivide a 21.15 acre parcel into the above referenced 1.61
acre parcel and a 19.54 acre remainder parcel. A variance has also been requested to allow
construction of a vehicle storage building abutting the west property line and within the required
10' setback.
The proposed towing and impound facility would be located on the south side of 6th Street, 630
feet west of Lankershim within the IL (Light Industrial) land use district. The parcel to be
subdivided has frontage on 5th Street, 6th Street and Sterling Avenue and abuts the City of
Highland (See Exhibit 1).
OWNER: Midway Homes
APPLICANT: Angel and Rose Leon
APPELLANT: Nedjatollah Cohan
BACKGROUND: The project was reviewed by the DRC and ERC on August 3 and August
24, 1995 and approved for clearance to Planning Commission on September 21, 1995. Mr.
Cohan attended the Planning Commission meeting and spoke at length with representatives of
the applicant. Mr. Cohan chose not to address the Planning Commission and none of his
concerns were raised then.
KEY ISSUES: There are several issues which have been identified by the appellant as follows
(see Exhibit 3, letter of appeal):
• The appellant owns 20.85 acres of land directly north of the project across 6th
Street. The property is zoned RMH 15 and OIP and he wishes to develop the
property with multifamily residential in the future and opposes this project.
• The appellant believes that the proposed project will "create and add more
problems to the present problems the area has..."
The project is surrounded by decorative walls and wrought iron fencing and
proposes architecture consistent with Industrial Design Guidelines. Further, the
project provides 58% more landscaping than is required by the Development
Code and provides an 85' building setback, well in excess of the required 10'.
Staff believes that the thoughtful design of the project combined with the fact that
the applicants are moving their established business from Highland to this location
will encourage the development of other new businesses in the vicinity.
O The appellant proposes approval of the project by "having entry to the project
from 5th Street and condition the developer to have portions of 6th Street facing
the subject side to be improved and the set back area be landscaped."
This is impractical since the proposed 1.61 acre parcel has no access to 5th
Street. There is a proposed 10' landscaped setback along 6th Street as required
by the Development Code.
Refer to Exhibit 2, Planning Commission Staff Report for a full discussion.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The Environmental Review Committee reviewed
the initial study on August 24th and determined that the project could not have a significant
effect on the environment and recommended a Negative Declaration.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission voted 7 to
0 to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 95-14, Tentative Parcel Map No. 14830 and Variance
No. 95-08 based upon the Findings of Fact contained in the October 17, 1995 staff report
(Exhibit 2). (Ayes: Brue, Gonzales, Hamilton, Stone, Strimpel, Thrasher and Traver; Nays:
None; Abstain: None; Absent: Cole and Schuiling)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council deny the
appeal, adopt the Negative Declaration and approve Conditional Use Permit No. 95-14,
Tentative Parcel Map No. 14830 and Variance No. 95-08, based upon the Findings of Fact
Contained in the Planning Commission staff report (Exhibit 2).

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The project is subject to CEQA and an initial study was prepared. The ERC reviewed the intial study
on August 24th and determined that the project could not have a significant effect on the environment
and recommended a Negative Declaration. The public review period was from August 24th to
September 21st and no comments were received.
BACKGROUND
Conditional Use Permit 95-14, Tentative Parcel Map 14830 and Variance 95-08 were reviewed by the
DRC and ERC on August 3 and August 24, 1995 and approved for clearance to Planning Commission
on September 21, 1995.
GENERAL PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT CODE CONSISTENCY
General Plan Policy 1.2.1 states that it is the policy of the City of San Bernardino to:
"Allow for the development of a minimum of 1000 acres to accommodate new industrial uses
in areas of the City designated as:... c. Industrial Light (IL)."
The IL (Industrial Light) land use district allows the development of impound/towing and/towin
P po g yards, such as the
one proposed in this project. The applicant's towing business is currently located in the City of Highland
and this project will allow him to relocate to San Bernardino.
The proposal is in conformance with the Development Code with the exception of the item for which
a variance has been requested. Please refer to Attachment 'D' for a summary of Development Code
conformance.

ANALYSIS
Site and Area Characteristics
The 21.15 acre site is flat, is unimproved and has frontage on 5th Street, 6th Street and Sterling
Avenue. The tentative parcel map identifies two, 10' wide easements for public utilities located at the
north and east property lines.Four power poles are located on-site within the two easements as described
above. There is an existing 21" sewer main and an 8" water line in 6th Street. A fire hydrant is located
within the 6th Street right of way at the northeast corner of the property. The proposed 1.61 acre parcel
that will be the impound yard has frontage on the south side of 6th Street and abuts the boundary of
City of Highland.
Tentative Parcel Map Request
The applicant proposes subdivide the 21.15 acre property into one 1.61 acre parcel and a 19.54 acre
remainder parcel. The 1.61 acre parcel will be developed as the impound/towing yard proposed in CUP
95-14 and VAR 95-08. The IL land use district requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. This
parcel map request subdivides the property into two parcels of 1.61 acres and 19.54 acres, both well
in excess of minimum lot size requirements.
Conditional Use Permit Request
The applicant proposes construction of an impound yard and towing facility. Pursuant to Development
Code Section 19.08.020, Table 08.02, the facility is permitted in the EL (Industrial Light) land use
i
district, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
The facility will provide towing services and temporary impounding of cited or confiscated vehicles and
is on the tow rotation for both the Sheriffs Department and the Highway Patrol. Proposed office
operations will be between 8:00am and 5:00pm, Monday through Friday and will employ approximately
6 or 7 employees. Towing and impounding operations will occur 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with
one security guard on duty 24 hours a day.
The proposal meets the minimum front, rear and east side setbacks for the IL land use district. As
discussed elsewhere in this staff report, a variance has been requested for the west side setback.
Access to the site is from 6th Street. The design of the project provides for two, 25' wide driveways
with manually controlled gates. The parking area/internal circulation is designed to Development Code
standards and allows for adequate circulation of tow trucks and customer vehicles. Twenty four (24)
parking spaces are provided; 5 for tow trucks and 16 for office employees and customers. The 20
standard and 1 handicap parking spaces are in excess of the 20 spaces required by the Development
Code for this type of facility.
The proposed office building will be one story with Terra Cotta color concrete file roof. As
recommended in the Industrial Development Design Guidelines, the front elevation of the building has
been architecturally enhanced with columns and arches to provide visual interest. The auto storage
building will be constructed of concrete block and stucco painted a two toned scheme of Light Rose and
CUP 95-14, TPM 14830& VAR 95-08
Hearing Date: 10-17-95
Page 4
Light Sand. The storage building will be designed as an integral part of the perimeter wall. Staff has
required that architectural relief be designed into the walls to avoid a monotonous wall face.
The design incorporates 5,890 square feet of landscaping which is equivalent to 73% of the total paved
parking area, 58% more than the 1210 sq. ft. required by the Development Code.
Variance Reguesr
The applicant is requesting a variance from the 10' west side setback to place an auto storage building
at the property line so that it can be integrated into the perimeter wall design. The storage building will
be 12' high and have a flat roof, which will not impact the adjacent property owners ability to construct
a building on the adjacent property. Placement of the building 10 feet away from the perimeter wall
would create opportunity for vandals and trespassers to enter the site unseen, thereby compromising
security.
The variance request is appropriate because:
• An efficient and safe design of the parcel cannot be provided in accordance with EL standards
without reduction of the west side setback.
• The reduction of the setback will not impact the adjacent property owners as the building is only
12' in height and integrated into the proposed perimeter wall.
• The proposed reduction of the setback is the minimum necessary to provide complete security
to the impound yard.
+ Industrial building construction is consistent with General Plan Policy 1.2.1.
In order for a variance to be approved, six Findings must be made as specified in Section 19.72.050
i of the Development Code. Those Findings of Fact are shown on Attachment 'D'.
CONEWENTS RECEIVED
The California Regional Water Quality Control Board submitted a letter stating that the applicant is not
required to obtain a NPDES permit or prepare a spill prevention plan.
CONCLUSION
The necessary findings can be made to support approval of Conditional Use Permit 95-14 and Variance
95-08, as required in Development Code Sections 19.36.050 and 19.72.050 respectively. The
development proposed in Tentative Parcel Map 14830 is consistent with the General Plan and
Development Code. The project is subject to CEQA and a Negative Declaration has been prepared.

CONDITIONAL USE PERNUT FINDINGS OF FACT
The proposed use is conditionally permitted within, and would not impair the integrity and character
of the subject land use district and complies with all of the applicable provisions of this Development
Code in that impound/towing yards is an allowed use with approval of a conditional use permit.
The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan in that Policy 1.2.1 allows for the development
of new industrial uses.
The approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed use is in compliance with the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act and Section 19.20.030(6) of the Development Code in that
an Initial Study and a Mitigated Negative Declaration were prepared.
There will be no potentially significant negative impacts upon environmental quality and natural
resources that could not be propeLly mitigated and monitored in that all mitigation measures have been
added to the conditions of approval.
The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with the
existing and future land uses within the general area in which the proposed use is to be located and will
not create significant noise, traffic or other conditions or situations that may be objectionable or
detrimental to other permitted uses in the vicinity or adverse to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare of the City. The project is located in an IL district, it provides parking and
landscaping above what is required by the Development Code and is proposed to be operated in a
manner similar to other impound yards.
The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use being proposed in that
the project is a flat, vacant site and has direct access to 6th Street.
There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to
ensure that the proposed use would not be detrimental to public health and safety in that the parcel
fronts on an improved road, and a 21" sewer main and 8" water line adjacent to the project to provide
service.

City of San Bernardino
Planning Division
Project Owner/Applicant: Angel Leon, "San Bernardino Towing"
Project Description: Auto Tow Yard Facility
Planning Applications: Conditional Use Permit
Variance (Required.Setback)
SUMMARY
San Bernardino Towing is proposing to locate its vehicle towing facility on a vacant parcel,
approximately 1,500 feet east of Sterling Avenue. The site is 70,300 square feet in area
(1.61 ac.) with general dimensions of 185 feet wide and 380 feet deep. Sixth Street forms
the northern boundary of the site, the south and west boundaries are adjacent to vacant
parcels, while the east boundary is adjacent to a disposal container storage yard. The
subject parcel has been designated Light Industrial (II.) by the City of San Bernardino
General Plan.
The Development Code establishes building setbacks for the Light Industrial district as.10
feet on all four sides. The proposed project does not provide this setback on the west
property line,where the auto storage building has been located. The 30'x 100'building is
proposed to occupy the entire 10 foot setback, with the west side of the building located on
the west property line. Due to the physical characteristics of the site and the operational
requirements of the tow facility, a Variance is requested for the previously described
setback. Therefore,the items listed below make up the Variance application:
Variance Request Items:
1. Reduce set backs as required in Code Sections 19.14.030(1)(A):
• Side - 0' proposed;_10' required.
34590 county line road,suite 5 yucaipa,ca 92399 (909) 795-1899
VARIANCE FINDINGS
A. There are special circumstances applicable to the property, including
size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application
of this Code deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other
property in the vicinity and under identical land use district
classification;
The subject parcel and the surrounding parcels on the south and west sides
extending to the adjacent streets are currently vacant. The parcel on the east
is developed, however, located outside the city limits, within the City of
Highland. The Development Code permits encroachment into the side yard
in the IL District when there are buildings on the adjacent parcel located on
the property line. As a result, the;:special circumstance applicable to this
property is that there are no opportunities for building on the property line for
the subject parcel.
Typically, an auto storage yard requires utilization of the entire storage area
for effective operation. The locating of an auto storage building 10 feet from
the property line or in the middle of the site generates operational limitations
that inhibit the efficient use-of the site. A 10 foot setback area is lost for
practical usage, while expanding the distance from the property line to
accommodate parking and circulation further limits the use of the site due to
the impact of the building location. Auto tow yards most effectively operate
by having as large an area possible available for storage and circulation
without the impact of a building located within the yard area. By occupying
the site with a proposed structure on the property line, this restriction can be
abated. It should be noted that the Commercial Heavy district, in some cases
a more restrictive land use district, requires no side or rear building setbacks
for permitted auto impound towing facilities.
As a result of the strict application of the Development Code, this property
,would be deprived of the privilege of developing the parcel to the level of use
achieved by other light industrial properties fortunate to have adjacent
buildings on the property line.
B.That granting the Variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in
the same vicinity and land use district and denied to the property for
which the Variance is sought;
It is the development standards of the IL district, not a particular land use, to
which the Variance request is related. However, meeting the identified
setback requirement causes the reduction of storage yard area and impacts
the operational characteristics of the land use.
Variance Findings 2 San Bernardino Towing, C.U.P.
C.That granting the Variance will not be materially detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to the property or
improvements in such vicinity and land use district in which the property
is located;
If constructed as required by code, the 10 foot space has the potential to
conceal intruders to the site, as well as to collect trash. As a result, safety
can be improved with the elimination of the 10 foot space between the block
wall and the building west wall. Therefore, the elimination of the side yard
setback for the building location will not adversely impact the public, health,
safety or welfare.
D.That granting the Variance does not constitute a special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and
land use district in which such property is located;
The majority of parcels in the immediate vicinity in the IL District are currently
vacant. However, upon granting of the subject variance, the Development
Code permits other buildings to be located within the side setback area on
the adjacent property line, along side the proposed building. Under this
condition, the limitation with regard to the side setback, has been eliminated
for the adjacent parcel with the granting of the variance.
Otherwise, where new development is proposed on other vacant parcels, the
same remedy proposed by this variance, to achieve a zero setback, would
be necessary.
E.That granting the Variance does not allow a use or activity which is not
otherwise expressly authorized by the regulations governing the subject
parcel;
Granting this Variance only provides for the reduction in setback area, a
development standard issue, not permitting additional uses in the IL district.
The auto towing facility is permitted in this district by the approval of a
conditional use permit.
j F.That granting of the Variance will not be inconsistent with the General
Plan.
Relative to Light Industrial design and development guidelines, the proposed
project provides extensive landscaping and buildings that convey visual
interest to satisfy the intent of the design policies in the General Plan for light
industrial development (Objective 1.32, Policies 1.32.30 & 1.32.31). In
Variance Findings 3 San Bernardino Towing, C.U.P.
addition, elimination of the setback area can be found consistent with the
Public Safety policies regarding on site security (Goal 10, 1.49.1 & 1.49.2).
As a result, the granting of the Variance does not violate, directly or
indirectly, the goals, objectives or policies of the General Plan.

Mandatory Findings of Significance
(Section 15065)
The California Environmental Quality Act states that if any of the following can be answered
yes or maybe, the project may have a significant effect on the environment and an
Environmental Impact Report shall be prepared. Based on this Initial Study:
a. Does the project have the Yes No Maybe
potential to degrade the ,t
quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat
of a fish or wildlife species,
cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California
history or prehistory? X
b. Does the project have the
to the disadvantage of long-
term, environmental goals? (A
short-term impact on the
environment is one which
occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time
while long-term impacts will '
endure well into the future.) X
c. Does the project have impacts
which are individually limited,
but cumulatively considerable?
(A project may impact on two
or more separate resources where
the impact on each resource is
relatively small, but where the

d. Does the project have
environmental effects which will
cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either
directly or indirectly? '' X

B. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION AND MITIGATION MEASURES
('The following responses are numbered to correspond to checklist items in the previous section)
14. Mandatory Findings of Significance
le. The proposal is located in an area identified as having a high potential for wind erosion as identifed in
the General Plan, Section 12.0 Geologic and Seismic, Figure 53. During construction accepted dust
control measures will be in place. All areas in the project not constructed upon or paved will be
landscaped as required by the Development Code and will reduce the impact to a level of insignificance.
lg. The proposal is located in an area identified as having a high potential for subsidence as identified in
the General Plan, Section 12.0 Geologic and Seismic, Figures 48 & 51. All structures will be built to
UBC and Development Code requirements and will reduce the impact to a level of insignificance.
lh. The proposal is located in an area identified as having a high potential for liquefaction as identified in
the General Plan, Section 12.0 Geologic and Seismic, Figure 48. All structures will be built to UBC
and Development Code requirements and will reduce the impact to a level of insignificance.
Ta. The impound/towing yard will store wrecked and impounded vehicles which can leak oil, antifreeze,
gasoline and other fluids. The project is required to cover all surfaces where vehicles are stored with
4" of rolled inert slag material to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and as such, the impact will be
reduced to a level of insignificance.

Re.: Appeal from Planning Commission Approval of the Conditional use Perr-dt
No 95-14 and variance No. 95-08, Hearing Date 10-17-95 0 ='

Dear Honorable Mayor & Counsel Member: a '
I am one of the owners of a parcel of land having assessor parcel no. 289-151-01 and 289-
151-02, approximately 20.85 acres,zoned RMH 15 directly opposite side of subject proposed
development.
While I attended the Planning Commission to oppose the project or alternatively request if
that City Officials and Planning Commission desire to approve the project, than condition
the subject development to enter from 5th Street, side of subject property in lieu of 6th
Street. Unfortunately I was not able to speak in front of Honorable Planning Commissioner.
We have own this parcel of land since 1980, ever since we have paid property taxes, and
paid each year to keep the property clean hoping to see a future for our investment. Not
only has this subject area not improved in the past due to a variety of reasons known to the
City Officials now. After all these years, a proposed development comes to the opposite
side of our property to which will create and add more problems to the present problems
the area has due to a variety of reasons that the Honorable Mayor and Counsel Members
are already aware of and we intend soon to submit a development plan to build on this
subject site.
Now, due to the variety of news, former Norton Air Force Base will have a new situation,
where as numerous corporation, federal government and others are moving to the former
base as a result lots of residential homes are being needed to serve those who are working
at the former base.

Based on the above facts and recommendation of our financial advisor and our market study
consultant, we are hereby opposing such a project in this area and request to deny such a
project. In alternative, approve the project by having entry to the subject proposal from 5th
Street and condition the developer to have portions of 6th Street facing the subject side to
be improved and the set back area be landscaped.
Please find enclosed a check for $118.00 for appeal fee.

With All Do Respect,
