Motion: 1) Close the Public Hearing;
2) Lay over Ordinance for final adoption; and
3) Adopt Resolution adopting the Categorical Exemption; and,
approving the amendment to Sign Program 15-04, based upon the

Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
None
Background:
On August 17, 2015, as part of the University Park Promenade and Shops project, Sign
Program 15-04 was administratively approved which includes two (2) proposed pylon
signs, one (1) along each street frontage of University Parkway and Northpark
Boulevard. The sign program also includes several wall signs for the proposed
commercial complex, and signs for the student housing and mixed residential uses
associated with the mixed use project. Over the course of the past months, there has
been an increased interest posed by a number of national chain tenants that are
interested in occupying the University Park Promenade and Shops commercial
complex. As a result, the Applicant has requested that staff explore possible
modifications to the sign ordinance that may allow for additional tenant identification on
pylon signs.

Pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 19.42 (Development Code Amendments), and
§19.22.030 (Definitions) and §19.22.150 (Multi-Tenant Centers) of the City of San
Bernardino Development Code, Development Code Amendment 16-04 will:
1) Amend the Development Code pertaining to multi-tenant pylon signs;
2) Allow the development, establishment and operation of a freestanding pylon
signs with more than three (3) tenant panels for multi-tenant commercial centers
less than 20 acres; and,
3) Amend Sign Program 15-04 to allow additional sign panels on the approved
pylon sign; and,
4) Amend the definition of a pole sign by adding a definition for a pylon sign.
The approval of Development Code Amendment 16-04 will then allow for the
amendment to Sign Program 15-04 to allow additional sign panels on the previously
approved pylon sign.
On July 20, 2016, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2016-031 (please
see Attachment 4) forwarding a recommendation that the Mayor and Common Council:
1) Adopt the Categorical Exemption; and
2) Approve Development Code Amendment 16-04 and the amendment to Sign
Program 15-04.
Analysis:
The City of San Bernardino Development Code currently defines a pole sign as "a
freestanding sign with a visible support structure." Development Code Amendment 16-
04 proposes to: 1) change the definition of a pole sign to read, as follows:
• Pole Sign: A freestanding sign that is supported by one or more exposed poles
that are permanently attached directly into or upon the ground; and,
• Pylon Sign (also known as Pedestal Sign): A freestanding sign that is supported
and in direct contact with the ground or one or more solid, monumental structures
or pylons and which typically has a sign face with a vertical dimension that is
greater than its horizontal dimension.
Section 19.22.150(C)(3) of Chapter 19.22 is proposed to be amended to add a new
subsection (f) with the following text under the heading of "Multi-Tenant Centers" as
follows:
f. Multi-Tenant Center Identification Pylon Sign (aka Pedestal Sign) (On-site)
Sign Type: Free Standing Pylon sign (excluding Monument and Pole signs).

Maximum Number:
• One double-face sign per street or freeway frontage.
• One additional sign if a street frontage is longer than 1,200
feet.
Maximum Sign Area:
• Maximum sign area of 125 square feet per sign face
identifying a single tenant.
• Maximum sign area of 200 square feet per sign face
identifying multiple tenants.
Maximum Sign Height:
• Maximum sign height of 35 feet.
Location Requirements:
• Shall not be located so as to be a hazard for driveway or
corner.
Additional Requirements:
• Sign may identify center and multiple tenants on each sign
face.
• Vertical clearance of 10 feet required for freestanding signs
projecting over vehicular passageway.
• Minimum of 20% of the sign area shall be dedicated to
center identification.
• EMC permitted (75% of sign area) subject to Design Review
by the Planning Commission.
• Address must be included, but is not part of maximum sign
area.
• Sign program for the entire multiple tenant center subject to
Design Review by Planning Commission.
• Recommended Pylon Sign Design Guidelines (in addition to
guidelines specified in Section G19.22).
• Each tenant identified on a sign face should occupy a
minimum of 800 square feet of building floor area in the
multi-tenant center.
• Minimum of 10 square feet of sign area per tenant
identification per sign face.
• Minimum width of 6 feet per each tenant identification sign
panel.
• Maximum width of 10 feet per each tenant identification sign
panel.
• Minimum height of 20 inches per each tenant identification
sign panel.
• Minimum letter height of 6 inches in sign area.
• Minimum 2 inch separation between sign panels and, if
utilized, mullions which frame out each sign panel.
• Architectural Relief: Sign panels and, if utilized, mullions
framing sign panels should be raised or recessed to provide

4611
architectural relief.
• All tenant sign panels and mullions framing sign panels
should be uniform in size and color.
The Planning Division recognizes that the current Development Code standards for
signage designated for multi-tenant commercial centers limiting pole and monument
signs to three (3) tenant panels was initiated in an attempt to reduce the number of
cluttered and visually distracting signs throughout the City. However, staff supports the
proposed amendment with the understanding that better criteria will achieve the same
goal, but will also allow commercial property owners to attract desirable national chains
as well as successful local start-up businesses, which will ultimately create an economic
benefit for the City as well as the affected multi-tenant commercial centers.
California Environmental Quality Act:
In accordance with §15060 (Preliminary Review) of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA), the Planning Division conducted an environmental evaluation in connection
with proposed Development Code Amendment 16-04 and amendment to Sign Program
15-04 and concluded that Development Code Amendment 16-04 and amendment to
Sign Program 15-04 is found to be exempt under §15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption)
of CEQA.
Pursuant to §15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) of CEQA, a project such as the
proposed Development Code Amendment to amend the text of Development Code
§19.22.150(C)(3) to allow more than three tenant panels on pylon signs for multi-tenant
commercial centers. The Planning Division staff has analyzed proposed Development
Code Amendment 16-04 and amendment to Sign Program 15-04 and has determined
that it is Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to §15061(b)(3) of the CEQA
Guidelines due to the fact that the proposed Ordinance will not create significant effects
on the environment. Accordingly, pursuant to §15062 of CEQA, a Notice of Intent to
Adopt a Categorical Exemption for Development Code Amendment 16-04 and
amendment to Sign Program 15-04 was published on July 8, 2016 for the CEQA-
mandated ten (10) day public review and comment period. In accordance with §15061
of CEQA, on July 20, 2016, during a duly advertised public hearing, the Planning
Commission considered the Categorical Exemption for the recommendation to the
Mayor and Common Council for the adoption of the Categorical Exemption and
approval of Development Code Amendment 16-04 and amendment to Sign Program
15-04.
Conclusion:
On July 20, 2016, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed project is
consistent with the City of San Bernardino General Plan and Development Code, and
that the application satisfies all Findings of Fact required for approval of Development
Code Amendment 16-04 and the amendment to Sign Program 15-04.

SECTION 3. FINDINGS FOR DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 16-04:
o!
Section 19.42.050 of the City of San Bernardino Development Code requires that Development
Code Amendment applications meet certain findings prior to the approval by the Mayor and T
Common Council. Accordingly, the following findings are provided in support of the E
recommendation by the Planning Commission for the approval of Development Code 0
Amendment 16-04: _
Finding No. 1: The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan. 2
a
Finding of Fact: General Plan Community Design Policy 5.7.4 states: "The size, color,
type, materials and design of signs shall be related to the scale of the
building or development and its relation to the street." U
Y
Y
The proposed signs have been designed with consideration for the Q
topography of the site, location of the buildings, and number of potential
tenants. Standards have been imposed to ensure a clean, uniform look to E
the proposed multi-tenant pylon signs.
Y
Y
4 a
Packet Pg. 813
6.A.e
General Plan Economic Development Policy 4.5.2 states: "Maintain and
enhance commercial regional cores and economically sound community- L
serving commercial concentrations by attracting new regional outlets,
maintaining the existing regional retail base, and stabilizing the future o
regional retail base." U
Y
C
The University Park Shops retail center will serve the students and staff of
CSUSB and the surrounding neighborhoods as a community-serving
commercial concentration and will be more able to attract and secure
national chain businesses and successful local businesses as tenants if they
can guarantee a tenant panel on the proposed pylon sign for the center.
Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with the goals of the
General Plan. _
in
Finding No. 2: The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, o
health, safety, convenience,or welfare of the City. a
0
Finding of Fact: The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest,
health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City in that amendment to
the Development Code standards related to the aesthetics of the
development rather than the health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the E
City. The project site has direct access from Northpark Boulevard, will be Q
fully served by utility providers, will be constructed in accordance with all r
applicable codes and regulations, and will not result in the need for the
excessive provision of services.

ANALYSIS
r
The City of San Bernardino Development Code currently defines a Pole Sign as a freestanding Q
sign with a visible support structure. Development Code Amendment 16-04 proposes to: 1)
change the definition of a pole sign to read: "Pole Sign: A freestanding sign that is supported
by one or more exposed poles that are permanently attached directly into or upon the E
ground, " and 2) add a definition for Pylon Signs that reads: "Pylon Sign (also known as 0
Pedestal Sign): A freestanding sign that is supported and in direct contact with the ground
or one or more solid, monumental structures or pylons and which typically has a sign face c
with a vertical dimension that is greater than its horizontal dimension, " and 3) to allow
more than three tenant panels on pylon signs for multi-tenant commercial centers.
Section 19.22.150(C)(31 of Chapter 19.22 is proposed be amended to add section (0 with the
following text under the heading of"Multi-Tenant Centers" as follows:
1) f Multi-Tenant Center Identification Pylon Sign (aka Pedestal Sign) (On-site)
Sign Type: Free Standing Pylon sign (excluding Monument and Pole signs). o
Maximum Number: a
• One double-face sign per street or freeway frontage o
• One additional sign if a street frontage is longer than Y
1,200 feet
Maximum Sign Area: _
• Maximum sign area of 125 sauare feet per sign face
identifying a single tenant
• Maximum sign area of 200 square feet per sign face
identifying multiple tenants
Maximum Sign Height:
L
• Maximum sign height of 35 feet Q
Location Requirements: W
• Shall not be located so as to be a hazard for driveway or
corner `o
Additional Requirements:
• Sign may identify center and multiple tenants on each N
sign face E
E
• Vertical clearance of 10 feet required for freestanding °
U
signs projecting over vehicular passageway
• Minimum of 20% of the sign area shall be dedicated to
center identification —°
n.
• EMC permitted (75% of sign area) subject to Design
Review by PC.
• Address must be included, but is not part of maximum
FE
sign area U
• Sign program for the entire multiple tenant center a
subject to Design Review by Planning Commission

addition to guidelines specified in Section G19.22):
w
Packet Pg. 824
DCA 16-04 and SPR15-04

• Each tenant identified on a sign face should occupy a
minimum of 800 square feet of building floor area in the
multi-tenant center
• Minimum of 10 square feet of sign area per tenant
identification per sign face
• Minimum width of 6 feet per each tenant identification E
sign panel v
• Maximum width of 10 feet per each tenant C
identification sign panel
• Minimum height of 20 inches per each tenant ~
r
identification sign panel
• Minimum letter height of 6 inches in sign area
• Minimum 2 inch separation between sign panels and, if Y
utilized, mullions which frame out each sign panel
N
• Architectural Relief: Sign panels and, if utilized,
mullions framing sign panels should be raised or Cn
recessed to provide architectural relief o
• All tenant sign panels and mullions framing sign panels a
should be uniform in size and color ,
c
The Planning Division recognizes that the current Development Code standards for signage E
designated for multi-tenant commercial centers limiting pole and monument signs to three tenant
panels was initiated in an attempt to reduce the number of cluttered and visually distracting signs Q
throughout the City. However, Staff supports the proposed amendment with the understanding
that better criteria will achieve the same goal, but will also allow commercial property owners to
to
attract desirable national chains as well as successful local start-up businesses, which will
ultimately create an economic benefit for the City as well as the affected multi-tenant o
commercial centers.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
c
In accordance with §15060 (Preliminary Review) of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), the Planning Division conducted an environmental evaluation in connection with
proposed Development Code Amendment 16-04 and Sign Program 15-04 and concluded that
Development Code Amendment 16-04 and Sign Program 15-04 is found to be exempt under E
§15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) of CEQA. Pursuant to §15061(b)(3) (Review for 0
Exemption) of CEQA, a project such as the proposed Development Code Amendment to amend
CU
the text of Development Code §19.22.150(C)(3) and Sign Program 15-04 to allow more than
three tenant panels on pylon signs for multi-tenant commercial centers. The Planning Division
staff has analyzed proposed Development Code Amendment 16-04 and amendment to Sign
Program 15-04 and has determined that it is Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to
§15061(b)(3)of the CEQA Guidelines due to the fact that the proposed Ordinance will not create y
significant effects on the environment. Accordingly, pursuant to §15062 of CEQA, a Notice of
Intent to Adopt a Categorical Exemption for Development Code Amendment 16-04 and Sign
Program 15-04 was published on July 8, 2016 for the CEQA-mandated ten (10) day public
review and comment period. In accordance with §15061 of CEQA, on July 20, 2016, during a o
duly advertised public hearing, the Planning Commission considered the Categorical Exemption a
for the recommendation to the Mayor and Common Council for the adoption of the Categorical L
Exemption and approval of Development Code Amendment 16-04 and Sign Program 15-04. 12
