CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Initiation of a General Plan Amendment for the portion of
the Central City South Plan area located south of Mill
Street, between Inland Center Drive and I-215.
Mayor and Common Council Meeting of April 5, 1993
BACKGROUND
On April 15, 1991 the Mayor and Common Council adopted the Central
City South Plan for the area located south of Rialto Avenue to
Inland Center Drive between "E" Street and I-215. The majority of
the area was designated CCS-1, General Commercial. The area south
of Mill Street, except for the parcels fronting on Inland Center
Drive and some on "H" Street, is developed with warehouses and has
had a variety of light industrial uses for several years.
At the time that the Central City South Plan was before the Mayor
and Common Council for adoption, there was a redevelopment proposal
pending to establish a major commercial center south of Mill street
and the area was given the CCS-1 designation. The proposal did not
materialize and we now have several vacant structures that have
lost their nonconforming status and cannot be reused for
warehousing and other light industrial uses.
Most of the buildings are not suitable for conversion to commercial
uses due to their size and limited parking. In addition, it may be
several years until the area is ready to absorb the additional
commercial acreage and removal of the warehouse buildings and
construction of new commercial buildings occurs. Just recently, we
have had several requests to establish warehousing/light industrial
uses in this area because the buildings are existing.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Staff estimates that it will cost approximately $5000 to prepare a
General Plan Amendment, including environmental review, for the
portion of the Central City South Plan area south of Mill Street.
This includes the use of a consultant to prepare the necessary
documentation/reports for processing through Planning Commission
and Mayor and Common Council.
The Economic Development Agency has agreed to pay the consultant
cost pending Mayor and Common Council approval to proceed with
initiation of a General Plan Amendment.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council direct the
Planning Division, in conjunction with the Economic Development
Agency, to initiate a General Plan Amendment for the area located
south of Mill Street, between Inland Center Drive and I-215. The
amendment would evaluate appropriate land use designations
consistent with the predominant land uses in the area.
Note: If it is determined that a Development Code Amendment is
required to support a General Plan Amendment, the
consultant will prepare the necessary documentation for
inclusion in the Development Code revision program.
