STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Appeal of the Planning Commission's Approval of Tentative
Tract No. 15494 and Conditional Use Permit No. 92-34
Mayor and Common Council Meeting September 20, 1993
REQUEST,PROJECT AND LOCATION
Request to Appeal
The Planning Commission's approval of Tentative Tract No. 15494 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 92-34 is being appealed to the Mayor and
Common Council by Mr. Ronald Perez of 3074 Herrington Avenue, San
Bernardino, California. The reasons for the appeal are outlined
below under Appeal Issues (and in Attachment C, Notice of Appeal)
and further addressed below under Key Points.
Project and Location
Under the authority of Development Code Sections 19 . 66. 070 and
19. 17. 050 (respectively) , Tentative Tract No. 15494 and Conditional
Use Permit No. 92-34 is a proposal to subdivide 2 parcels into 8
lots and to construct 7 single-family dwelling units on 7 of the 8
lots in the RL, Residential Low land use designation. The 10.4
acre site has a 50 foot frontage on the easterly side of Grande
Vista Avenue beginning approximately 300 feet south of Edgemont
Drive. The subject site extends east from Grande Vista Avenue
approximately 1, 500 feet with a maximum width of about 1, 000 feet.
It should be noted that the subject property is located in the
Hillside Management Overlay District (HMOD) and in the Foothill
Fire Zones Overlay District, Fire Zones A, B and C (abutting
wildlands) . (See Attachment A, Site Location and Land Use
Designation Map)
APPEAL ISSUES
The appellant is concerned that the 5th Ward currently is not
represented on the Common Council or the Planning Commission.
The appellant notes that some of the proposed lots for TT No.
15494 do not meet the RL, Residential Low land use designation
lot standards for lot area and width.
The appellant notes that some of the Conditions of Approval
for the project contain irregularities. (Specific
irregularities are not identified. )
V
Appeal of Tentative Tract No. 15494
and Conditional Use Permit No. 92-34
Mayor and Common Council Meeting of
September 20, 1993
Page 2
The appellant requests that the project be re-evaluated for
fire safety, drainage and access to adjacent landlocked
parcels to the east and parcels fronting on Marshall
Boulevard.
The appellant requests that the Common Council re-examine the
Hillside Management Overlay District development standards
(Development Code Chapter 19. 17) for minimum lot size (less
than 7, 200 square feet) and setbacks requirements.
KEY POINTS
While the 5th Ward Council seat is currently vacant, the Ward
has representation on the Planning Commission by four at-large
Commissioners (two regular Commissioners and two alternate
Commissioners) appointed by the Mayor.
The project is located in the RL, Residential Low land use
designation and the Hillside Management Overlay District
(HMOD) .
The purpose of the HMOD is to ensure that low-density
residential development occurs in the City's hillside areas in
a manner which protects the hillside's natural and topographic
character and identity and is sensitive to the environment and
area aesthetics.
To facilitate environmentally sensitive development, the HMOD
provides for density transfer to lower slopes (based on a
slope analysis) and does not set a minimum parcel size or
specify minimum setback requirements.
The RL development standards are superseded by the HMOD
development standards (and the Foothill Fire Zones Overlay
District standards) .
The project is also located in the Foothill Fire Zones Overlay
District (Fire Zones A, B and C - abutting wildlands) .
The Foothill Fire Zones Overlay District requires that
projects located in Fire Zone C (abutting wildlands) provide
for a fuel-modification plan (with 50 feet of wetzone or
greenbelt) , or a reasonable equivalent alternative as approved
by the Fire Chief.
Q
Appeal of Tentative Tract No. 15494
and Conditional Use Permit No. 92-34
Mayor and Common Council Meeting of
September 20, 1993
Page 3
The tentative map approved by the Planning Commission did not
include the 50 foot greenbelt area for Lots 6, 7 and 8 because
an equivalent alternative (which would be based on a fire
model study) was going to be submitted as part of the building
permit process.
As a result of the concerns raised by area residents, the
applicant has decided not to do the fire model and has revised
the tentative map and site plan to include the 50 foot
greenbelt area for Lots 6, 7 and 8 . (See Attachment B,
Revised Tract Map and Site Plan and Attachment E, Detail of
Revisions to Lots 6, 7 and 8)
The City's Fire Marshal has submitted a memorandum to the
Director of Planning and Building Services which addresses the
appellant's concerns relating to fire safety and project
compliance with the Foothill Fire Zones Overlay District
standards. (See Attachment F, September 1, 1993 Fire
Department Memorandum)
Many of the area's residents use an unimproved road
(unofficially named Sierra Vista) through the subject property
for rear access to developed lots fronting on Marshall
Boulevard and for access to land-locked existing lots of
record located east and adjacent to the site.
Similarly, area residents consider a second unimproved roadway
(unofficially named Buena Vista) , which runs up the hillside
through the subject property, to be necessary for general fire
access.
The Fire Department does not need the dedication of the
roadway or an easement to be granted along the roadway.
At this time, the subject property has no dedicated roadways
and, no easements have been granted for the specific purpose
of providing access to adjacent properties.
Lot 2 on the tentative map approved by the Planning Commission
showed an 8 foot front setback (from the front property line
to the building face of the garage) .
As a result of the concerns raised by area residents, the
applicant has revised the tentative map and site plan to
increase the front setback for Lot 2 to 19 feet. (See
Attachment D, Detail of Revision to Lot 2)

The Public Works Department indicates that drainage on the
site and in the vicinity will be improved by the project.
In order to move projects through the process, conditions are
frequently added which require that changes be made to the
site plan, floor plan or elevations following approval by the
Planning Commission and prior to submittal or issuance of
building permits. (See Conditions of Approval No. 9 and No.
10, Attachment 8 of Attachment G)
The Hillside Management Overlay District standards were
reviewed as part of the review process for the adoption of the
Development Code in 1991.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
An Initial Study, prepared for the project by staff, was presented
to the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) on March 4, 1993 ,
(refer to the Initial Study, Attachment 10 of Attachment G) . The
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was advertised and the
Initial Study was available for public review and comment from
March 11, 1993 to March 31, 1993 . The Planning Commission adopted
the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project and approved the
Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program (Attachment 11 of
Attachment G) .
MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OPTIONS
The Mayor and Common Council may:
1. Grant the appeal and deny Tentative Tract No. 15494 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 92-34 .
2 . Deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission's approval
of Tentative Tract No. 15494 and Conditional Use Permit No.
92-34 .

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
MEMO NO.
To: Al Boughey, Director of Planning and Building Services
From: E. Guy Burdick, Fire Marshal
Subject: Appeal of Tentative Tract#15494/CUP 92-34
Date: September 1, 1993
Approval:
The appellant sought seven courses of action from the Planning Commission regarding the
tentative tract#15494, on Grande Vista_Number three of the actions requested stated that
fire safety was a concern. (See Attached)
This tract has run through the normal procedural process in the Fire Department. The
tentative plans were checked for Fire Department requirements and were given written
conditions for approval.
With the written conditions, the tentative tract was also given Fire Department approval at
a Development Review Committee meeting to be forwarded to the Planning Commission
for final approval.
The Fire Department approval for this tract was given when the plans were checked and
all of the Fire Safety issues in the current codes were addressed.
All of the new structures in the buffer zone will meet the new Development Code
standards including fifty feet of wet zone with fuel modification, fire resistive construction
and residential fire sprinklers. This construction will add a paved access behind the
existing homes on Marshall Blvd. and provide additional fire hydrants.
In the opinion of the Fire Department,this tract will enhance fire safety in this area. One of
the main factors is the fact that the structures and property that abut the wild land grass
areas will now have an improved buffer zone on the North side. Buffer zones slow the
approach of fire and allow operational space for the Fire Department.
In conclusion, it is felt that the fire safety in the immediate area is not compromised by this
proposed tract if all of conditions of approval are met

REQUEST
Under the authority of Development Code Sections 19.66. 070 and
19.17. 050 (respectively) , the applicant requests approval to
subdivide 2 parcels into 8 lots and to construct 7 single-family
dwelling units on 7 of the 8 lots in the RL, Residential Low land
use designation.
BITE LOCATION
The 10.4 acre site has a 50 foot frontage on the easterly side of
Grande Vista Avenue beginning approximately 300 feet south of
Edgemont Drive. The subject site extends east from Grande Vista
Avenue approximately 1,500 feet with a maximum width of about 1,000
feet. (See Attachment 1, Location Map)
The subject property is located in the Hillside Management Overlay
District (HMOD) and in Fire Zones A, B and C (abutting wildlands)
of the Foothill Fire Zones Overlay District.
DEVELOPMENT CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE
The 8 lots are consistent with the Hillside Management Overlay
District (HMOD) standards in the Development Code and the related
policies in the General Plan. The HMOD standards, which supersede
the standards of the underlying zone district, do not specify
absolute minimum parcel size, widths and depths, (see Attachment 5,
Development Code and General Plan Conformance Table. )
The housing plans proposed for construction on 7 of the 8 lots meet
the Development Code standards and design guidelines for single-
family development. However, the proposed housing is not in
compliance with the Foothill Fire Zone Overlay standards which
require that certain finish materials on dwelling units or
structures be non-combustible, nonignitable and/or non-wood. (See
Attachment 4, Elevations)
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEOA) STATUS
The Initial Study for the project was prepared by staff and
presented to the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) on March 4,
1993 , (refer to Attachment 10, Initial Study) . The ERC determined
that any potential significant environmental effects of the project
TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 15494 AND
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 92-34
AGENDA ITEM: 4
HEARING DATE: August 17, 1993
Page 3
can be mitigated as indicated in the Initial Study and the
Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program and recommended a Mitigated
Negative Declaration. The proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration
was advertised and the Initial Study was available for public
review and comment from March 11, 1993 to March 31, 1993. No
comments were received from the public during that period.
BACKGROUND
The project was reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC)
on March 4, 1993 and on April 1, 1993. At the April 1, 1993
meeting, the DRC discussed that the subject site is located in
Foothill Fire Zones A, B and C (abutting wildlands) and stated that
the project is subject to all applicable Foothill Fire Zones
Overlay standards. The DRC recommended that the Planning
Commission approve the proposed subdivision and the housing plans
proposed for construction on 7 of the 8 proposed lots, subject to
compliance with Foothill Fire Zones Overlay District standards.
ANALYSIS
PROJECT, SITE AND AREA CHARACTERISTICS
The project site is vacant and irregular in shape with about
threequarters of the site containing slopes of 15 percent or
greater. Lot 4 contains the steepest slopes and is not proposed
for development at this time. The 7 dwelling units are proposed to
be constructed on the gentlest slopes (under 15 percent) which are
located in southwesterly corner of the site. The 8 lots range in
size from 6,000 to 305,185 square feet with frontages ranging from
20 feet to 210 feet. (See Attachment 2, Site Plan)
Vegetation on the site is a mix of non-native grasses with some
shrubs (less than 5 percent coverage) generally associated with
native coastal sage scrub and chaparral communities.
North of the site is vacant land with the hilly terrain of the
Shandin Hills. To the south, east and west are existing single-
family developments in less hilly terrain.
The applicant proposes to subdivide 2 parcels consisting of 10.4
acres into 8 lots and to construct 7 single-family dwelling units
on 7 of the 8 proposed lots (specifically Lots 1 through 3 and 5
through 8) . The housing plans consist of 1, 2-story floor plan and
3 elevations ("A", "B" and "C") . The proposed dwelling units are
TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 15494 AND
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 92-34
AGENDA ITEM: 4
HEARING DATE: August 17, 1993
Page 4
consistent with the RL standards in terms of size and design. (See
Attachments 3 and 4, Floor Plans and Elevations, respectively)
COMPATIBILITY
The proposal is compatible with the single-family homes located
south, east and west of the site and with the vacant land located
immediately to the north of the subject site.
HILLSIDE MANAGEMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT (HMOD)
The purpose of the Conditional Use Permit is to ensure that the
lots can be (and are) developed consistent with the HMOD standards
in the Development Code and the applicable policies in the General
Plan. The project will involve minimal grading to accommodate pads
in the lowest slope categories. The following table provides a
summary of the Slope Analysis Map that was prepared for the
project:
Slope Categories Acres z Density = Allowable Units-
0% - 15% 2.77 2.0 (5.54) or 6
15% - 25% 3.40 1:D (3.40) or 3
25% - 30% 1.37 0.5 (0.69) or 1
30% + 3.02 0.1 (0.30) or 0
Total Units 10
Based on the slope analysis, the permitted density would allow up
to 10 dwelling units on site. The HMOD provides for a density
transfer from one slope category down to the next lower slope
category with a 50 percent density increase as long as the overall
allowable density is not exceeded. The project proposes to
construct all 7 dwelling units in the 0 ..to 15 percent slope
category. A density transfer is necessary because only 6 units are
allowable in the 0 to 15 percent slope category. Transferring the
density from the 15 to 25 percent slope category to the lower slope
category increases the density to 3 dwelling units per gross acre.
This results in a permitted density of 8.31 dwelling units in the
0 to 15 percent slope category (2.77 acres x 3 dwelling units per
acre = 8.31 dwelling units) .
Another effect of the density transfer is that the construction of
a single-family dwelling unit on Lot 4, a custom-built lot, will be
limited to the 0 to 15 percent or the 25 to 30 percent slope
categories. During the Development/Environmental Review Committee
review, no building pad was identified for Lot 4. At the time of
development, a separate Conditional Use Permit will be required to
A
TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 15494 AND
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 92-34
AGENDA ITEM: 4
HEARING DATE: August 17, 1993
Page 5
evaluate grading and driveway access, establish the building pad
location and review the elevations. (Refer to Attachment 8,
Condition of Approval No. 8)
FOOTHILL FIRE ZONES OVERLAY DISTRICT STANDARDS
The project site is located in the Foothill Fire Zones Overlay
District. The slope analysis for the site shows that the proposed
lots extend into Fire Zones A, B and C. Development of the 7
dwelling units will occur in Fire Zone C (abutting wildlands) and
fuel-modification (subject to the approval of the Fire Chief) will
be required in the upslope portions of the lots which extend into
Fire Zones A and B.
In addition to the requirements of non-combustible, nonignitable
and/or non-wood finish materials, the project shall meet all other
applicable development standards and requirements of the Foothill
Fire Zones Overlay District. To address the finish material issue,
the project has been conditioned to meet all applicable
requirements including any restrictions on building materials (see
Attachment 8, Condition of Approval No. 9) .
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT OVERLAY (BRM)
The project site is also located in the BRM and a Biological
Resources Survey was prepared by Tierra Madre Consultants, Inc. and
evaluated in the Initial Study. While the survey indicates that 2
sensitive bird species were observed on the site, it was determined
that the project's ,potential impacts to sensitive biological
resources are not considered to be significant.
OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
Landslides
The subject property is located in an area defined as having a low
to moderate landslide susceptibility and a geologic investigation
and report was prepared for the project (Rasmussen & Associates,
November 19, 1992) . The report identified deep-seated bedrock
landsliding on the site and recommended 50 foot setbacks for
structures from the landslides. The Recommendations section of the
report states that the addition of water to the site should be
strictly limited and controlled and irrigation of the- natural
slopes is not -recommended. Deed restrictions to that effect are
recommended. In addition, deed restrictions should be considered
to restrict any grading, including the placement of cuts and/or
retaining walls by future homeowners. The final grading plan for
Joft
TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 15494 AND
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 92-34
AGENDA ITEM: 4
HEARING DATE: August 17, 1993
Page 6
the site should be reviewed and approved by the engineering
geologist prior to any grading. The preceding recommendations have
been incorporated in to the Conditions of Approval for the project.
The City's Geologist, Dr. Floyd Williams reviewed the report and
concluded that it "adequately describe(s) the geologic hazards of
the tract." He did note, however, that the setbacks offer no
assurance that future mud flows or landslides will not invade the
proposed housing. Copies of the geologic investigation and report
are maintained in the project files (TT No. 15494 and CUP No. 92-
34) . (Also, see Attachment 9, Initial Study, Item l.g. )
Traffic/Circulation
Access to the site is from Grande Vista Avenue via the proposed
cul-de-sac. The cul-de-sac, approximately 625 feet in length,
meets the requirements outlined in Development Code Chapters 19.17
(Foothill Fire Zones Overlay District) and 19.19 (Hillside
Management Overlay District) .
The City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed the project and determined
that the relatively small size of the project will not result- in`
any significant impacts on the adjacent street system.
Cultural Resources
The project,located in an archaeologically sensitive area, was
reviewed by the Archaeological Information Center, County of San
Bernardino Museum. The Center indicated that no known
archaeological or historical resources are located on the site and
recommended that no further study be required.
COMMENTS RECEIVED
Mayor Tom Minor (Previously the Councilmember for hard 5)
Mayor Minor's comments, received in December, 1992 while he was the
Councilmember for Ward 5, questioned whether or not Lots 6 through

FINDINGS OF FACT FOR
TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 15494
1. Tentative Tract No. 15494 is consistent with the General Plan
in that it meets the goals and objectives of the General Plan
and meets the standards of the Development Code as they
pertain to the subdivision of property in the Hillside
Management Overlay District (HMOD) .
2. The design and proposed improvements of Tentative Tract No.
15494 are consistent with the General Plan in that the
tentative map proposes the creation of eight residential lots
subject to all applicable Development Code provisions.
3. The site is large enough and suitable to accommodate the
proposed eight lot single-family subdivision and the proposed
subdivision complies with the HMOD development standards and
requirements and is compatible with adjacent and surrounding
residential development in that the lots contain sufficient
buildable area and are adjacent to a dedicated roadway.
4. The site for Tentative Tract No. 15494 is physically suitable
for single-family residential development in that the division
of land is consistent with the Subdivision Map Act and the
proposed lots to be created can accommodate the proposed
density of the project.
5. Through the environmental analysis, it has been determined
that the lots to be created are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and
unavoidably injure fish and wildlife or-their habitat in that
the majority of the subject site, which is located in the
Biological Resources Management Overlay District as identified
in the City's General Plan, will be left in its natural state.
6. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause serious
public health problems in that there is existing and future
proposed infrastructure to provide services to the eight
proposed lots.

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
2.1 Project Description and Location
The proposed project is to subdivide 2 existing parcels
into 8 lots and to construct 7 single family dwelling
units on 7 of the 8 lots with one custom-built lot on
10.4 acres located in the RL, Residential Low, land use
zoning district in the Hillside Management Overlay
District. The overall density will be .77 du/ac.
I Individual lots will range from 6,000 square feet in size
to 305, 185 square feet for the custom-built lot.
Tentative earthwork will consist of 5, 000 cubic yards of
cut and 1,000 cubic yards of fill for 7 of the lots. All
manufactured slopes will be less than 10 feet in height
for the 7 lots. The grading for the custom-built lot is
not known at this time but will be evaluated at the
Development Permit stage. Access will be provide by a
proposed cul-de-sac off of Grande Vista Avenue (see
Attachment "A", TT 15494) .
The subject site consists of Assessor's Parcels 151-064-
09 and 17. The site is located generally northeasterly
of the intersection of Grande Vista Avenue and Marshall
Blvd. It has a frontage of approximately 50 feet on the
easterly side of Grande Vista Avenue beginning
approximately 300 south of Edgemount Drive. Said parcel
extends easterly from Grande Vista Avenue approximately
1500 feet with a maximum width of about 1000 feet. (see
Attachment "B", Location Map) .
2.2 site Characteristics
The 10.4 acre site is located on a hillside. The site is
vacant with grass covered slopes. Portions of the
hillside contain steeply sloping ground with about three-
quarters of the site 15% and greater. The southwesterly
corner of the site has the gentlest slopes, under 15%.
This is the part of the site -where the 7 single family
residences are proposed to be constructed. The custom
built lot contains steeper slopes. The site is located
in a area of the City of Low to Moderate Landslide
Susceptibility; of High Potential For Water Erosion; and
of Concern for Archaeological Resources. Also, it is
subject to High Wind, High Fire, and the Biological
Resource Management Overlay. District.
Single family residential development is located to the
west, south and east of the site. To the immediate north
site is the vacant, hilly terrain of the Shandin Hills.

February 22, 1993
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
3.1 Environmental Setting
The site is located in a portion of the City subject to
Low to Moderate Landslide Susceptibility, High Potential
For Water Erosion, High Wind, High Fire, the provisions
of the Biological Resource Management Overlay District,
and Areas of Concern for Archaeologically Resources.
There are no trees on the site, nor are there any stream
courses or riparian corridors. The site is mainly
covered by non-native grasses.
' 3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
3.2.1 Earth Resources
1.a.
The proposed project and grading operation will result in
approximately 5,000 cubic yards of cut and 1,000 cubic
yards of fill for the 7 lots. Such a limited grading
operation will have minimal impacts on the physical
environment (erosion, drainage, etc. ) and on the
community (dust, noise, truck traffic, etc. ) . Standard
requirements and conditions of approval will reduce any
potential impacts to a level of insignificance. Proposed
haul routes to export excess material must be approved by
the Public Works Department and will be part of the
Mitigation and Monitoring Review Program for the
subdivision.
i.b. through q.
The subject site contains slopes greater than 152. The
proposed project will result in grading on slopes over 15
% natural grade in order to develop some of the lots.
Adherence to the hillside grading standards contained in
Development Code Section 19.17.070(1) for projects the
Hillside Management Overlay District will ensure impacts
remain non-significant.
1.c. and d.
The project site is not located within the Alquist-Priolo
Special Studies Zone as defined in Section 12.0 -
Geologic & Seismic, Figure 47, of the city's General
Plan. No unique geologic or physical features will be
modified by this project.
Initial Study for Tentative Tract No. 15494 and
Conditional -Use Permit No. 92-34
February 22, 1993
i.e.
The site is not in an area defined for high potential for
wind erosion; however, it is in an area defined for high
potential for water erosion as identified in Section 12 . 0
- Geologic & Seismic, Figure 53 , of the City's General
Plan. Standard requirements and conditions of approval
will reduce these potential impacts to a level of
insignificance.
i.f.
No stream course crosses the subject site; therefore, no
channel, creek or river will be modified.
1.g.
The site is located within an area identified having low
to moderate landslide susceptibility as identified in
Section 12.0- Geologic & Seismic, Figures 52 of the
City's General Plan. A geologic investigation and report
prepared by Gary S. Rasmussen & Associates dated November
19, 1992 identified deep-seated bedrock iandsliding on,
the site and recommended setbacks for structures from the
landslides. Dr. Floyd Williams reviewed the geologic
investigation and report for the City and concluded that
it "adequately describe(s) the geologic hazards of the
tract." He further noted, however, that "the setback
offers no assurance that future mud flows or landslides
will not invade the proposed homes." The geologic report
is on file in the City's Department of Planning and
Building Services.
3.2.2 Air Resources
2.a and b.
The proposed development will not create substantial air
emissions or have an adverse effect upon ambient air
quality as the project does not qualify as a "regionally
significant project" as identified in the AQMD
guidelines. Also, the nature of the use as a limited
number of single family residences will not result in the
creation of objectionable odors.
Initial Study for Tentative Tract No. 15494 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 92
February 22, 1993
2.c.
The site is located in a High Wind hazard area as
identified in Section 15.0 - Wind & Fire, Figure 59, of
the City's General Plan. Standard requirements and
conditions of approval pertaining to building exposure,
orientation and roof construction will minimize potential
hazards because of High Winds.
3:2.3 Rater Resources
I
3.a.
The development of the 10.4 acre site with 7 single
family lots and one custom lot will result in a change in
absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rates and
amount of surface runoff because of changes in the
amounts of permeable surfaces. Public Works Department
Standard Requirements requiring conveyance of site
drainage and runoff to an approved public drainage
facility will apply.
3.b.
No streams cross the site; therefore there will be no
changes in the course or flow of flood waters.
3.a. and d.
The proposed subdivision will not result in the
generation of any point source wastewater discharges.
Non-point source pollutants in the form of road oil,
sediment, etc. will be generated by the operation,
washing, etc. of resident's vehicles. However, the
project in not expected to cause any adverse significant
alteration in storm water quality or ground water quality
because of its limited extent. No mitigation is
necessary since the potential for adverse impacts are not
considered significant.
3.e.
The project is located in Flood Zone "C" and is
reasonably free of serious flood hazards from major flood
channels and drainage courses as determined by the San
Bernardino County Flood Control District. Potential
impacts are considered non-significant.
Initial Study for Tentative Tract No. 15494 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 92-34
February 22, 1993
3.2.4 Biological Resources
4.a. through c.
The subject site lies in the Biological Resources
Management Overlay, as identified in Section 10. 0 A
Natural Resources, Figure 41, of the General Plan.
biological resource survey was conducted on the site by
Tierra Madre Consultants, Inc. with a report dated
September 11, 1992. Although two sensitive bird species
were observed on the site: Golden Eagle and Loggerhead
Shrike, it was concluded that the potential impacts
resulting from this project to sensitive biological
resources are not significant; and no mitigating measures
were suggested.
4.d.
No viable mature trees exist on the subject site.
3.2.5 Noise
5.a. -
The project site is not in an area where existing or=
future noise levels will exceed a level of 65 dB(A�
exterior or 45 dB(A) interior as identified in Section
14.0 - Noise, Figures 57 and 58 of the General Plan._
5.b.
During construction there is the potential that noise
levels may increase and nearby residents may be
temporarily exposed to high noise levels. To minimize
the noise generated to a level of, non-significance, the
hours of construction shall be limited to the hours
between 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. per San Bernardino
Municipal Code 8.54.
Initial Study for Tentative Tract No. 15494 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 92-34
February 22, 1993
3.2.6 Land Use
6.a. and b.
The proposed project will not change the land use as
designated on the General Plan. The overall density and
proposed use are consistent with the existing General
Plan designation. Also, the project is not located
within an Airport District as identified in the Air
Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Report and the
Land Use Zoning District Map.
G.C.
The subject site lies within Foothill Fire Zones A & B as
identified on the Land Use Zoning District Map.
Conditions of approval requiring implementation of the
Foothill Fire Zones overlay District standards for
project and building design, including tile roofs, will
reduce the potential impacts to acceptable levels.
3.2.7. Kan-made Hazards
7.a. through a.
Because of the nature of the project, no hazardous- or
toxic materials will be used stored, transported or-
disposed on the site beyond what is normally associated
with residential uses. The limited size of this project
and current programs to encourage homeowners to properly
dispose of household hazardous materials will reduce any
potential impacts to insignificant levels.
3.2.8. Housing
S.a
As the project site contains no existing housing, no
housing will be removed by -this project. Also, the
project will not create demand for additional housing in
the area but will help to satisfy exiting demand.

The relative small size of the project with 8 residential
units will not result in any adverse impacts to area
tiz adoes not require circulation
this his s s a traffic impact study to be
prepared.
3.2.10 public Services
10.a through f.
The proposal to subdivide 10.4 acres into 8 lots will not
impact public services beyond their capacity to provide
adequate levels of service. Impacts to schools will be
offset by developer fees which will be paid to the school
district at the building permit stage. As the site lies
in an area with similar development and is relatively
small in size, it is anticipated that any potential
impacts upon public services would be insignificant.
3.2.11 utilities
11.a. through a.
The proposal to subdivide 20.4 acres into 8 lots will not
impact utilities beyond their capacity to provide
adequate levels of service. The site is presently served
by utilities and will not result in a disjointed pattern
of utility extensions, nor the construction of new
facilities.
3.2.12 Aesthetics
12.a and b.
Most of the site will be left in a natural state with the
proposed residences to be built at the foot of hillside.
Additionally, the two-story height limit of the RL,
Residential Low, land use zoning district, and the design
standards of the Hillside Management Overlay District
which will be applied through the conditions of the
conditional use permit will insure that the project will
not result in a visual impacts detrimental to the
surrounding area.

Conditional Use Permit No. 92-34
February 22, 1993
3.2.13 Cultural Resources
13.a and b.
The site lies within an archaeologically sensitive area,
as identified in Section 3.0 - Historical, Figure 8, of
the City's General Plan. The proposed project was
submitted to the Archaeological Information Center for
review. The Center responded that there are no known
archaeological or historical resources on the site and a
negative declaration was recommended.
3.2.14 MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE (Section 15065)
The proposed project will result in the subdivision of
10.4 acres into 8 lots -with 8 single family residences in
the Hillside Management Overlay District. The response
to the checklist questions indicate that the project will
not result in any significant impacts. No cumulative
impacts resulting from the proposed have been identified.
D. DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial study,
The proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment and a NEGATIVE DECLARA.
TION will be prepared.
The proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,although there will not be a significant
effect in this case because the mitigation measures described above have been added to the project. A
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
The proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required.

MITIGATION MONITORING/REPORTING PROGRAM
TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 15494
INTRODUCTION
This mitigation monitoring and compliance program has been prepared for use by the
project developer and the City of San Bernardino as it implements measures adopted for
this Project. This program has been prepared in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State and Agency CEQA Guidelines.
Assembly Bill 3180 (Public Resources Code Section 21031.6), effective January 1, 1989,
required adoption of a reporting or monitoring program for those measures or conditions
imposed on a project to mitigate or avoid adverse effects on the environment. The law
states that the monitoring or reporting program shall be designed to ensure compliance
during project implementation.
The monitoring program contains the following elements:
1) The mitigation measures are recorded with the action and procedure necessary to
ensure compliance. In some instances, one action may be used to verify
implementation of measures, such as grading plan review and erosion control plan
review.
2) A procedure for compliance and verification has been outline for each mandatory
mitigation action. This procedure designates who will take the action, what action
will be taken and when, and to whom and when compliance will be reported.
3) The program contains Mitigation Monitoring and Compliance Record for each
action. On each of these record sheets, the pertinent actions acrd dates will be
logged, and copies of permits, correspondence or other relevant data will be
attached. Copies of the records will be retained by the City of San Bernardino
Planning Department as part of its project files.
4) The program has been designed to be flexible. As x ionitoring progresses, changes
to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon recommendations by those
responsible for the program. If changes are made, new monitoring compliance
procedures and records will be developed and incorporated into the program. The
total program, including any modifications, will be retained by the Planning
Department as part of the project files. Compliance with the MMRP will be made
a condition of approval of the project to ensure its implementation.
The individual measures and the accompanying/reporting actions follow. They are
numbered in the same sequence as presented in the Project Initial Study.
