2) Deny General Plan Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment (Zoning
Map Amendment) 14-17, based upon the recommended Findings of Fact.
Project Description:
Pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 19.50 (General Plan Amendments), Chapter 19.42
(Development Code Amendments) and Chapter 19.74 (Zoning Map Amendments) of the City of
San Bernardino Development Code, the applicant is requesting the approval of General Plan
Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17 to
allow:
1) The change of the General Plan Land Use Designation from Residential Suburban to
Residential Medium High-20 and the Zoning District from Residential Suburban (RS) to
Residential Medium High-20 (RMH-20) for three (3) parcels containing a total of
approximately 3.57 acres in order to construct a Planned Unit Development comprised
of fifty-one (51) attached residential units within the sphere of influence of the
unincorporated area of the City of San Bernardino.
Analysis:
County of San Bernardino Review - On April 9, 2008, the applicant submitted an application for
Conditional Use Permit P2008-00253 and Tentative Tract Map 17501 to the County of San
Bernardino in order to allow the construction of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) comprised
of fifty-one (51) attached residential units. The subject 3.57-acre site is located within the
unincorporated area of the City of San Bernardino and is currently "pre-zoned" with a General
Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning District classification of Residential Suburban (RS). In
order for the County of San Bernardino to proceed with the processing of their Conditional Use
Permit P2008-00253 and Tentative Tract Map 17501, the applicant is required to obtain the
approval of a General Plan Amendment and Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map
Amendment)from the City of San Bernardino changing the General Plan Land Use Designation
and Zoning District from Residential Suburban (RS) to Residential Medium High (RMH) so that
the proposed fifty-one (51) residential unit PUD will comply with the allowable density.
Land Use Regulations - According to §82.04.060 (Residential Land Use District Site Planning
and Building Standards) of the County of San Bernardino Development Code, the allowable
density within the Medium Residential (RM) zone is twenty (20) units per acre. The density for
the proposed fifty-one (51) residential unit PUD is fifteen (15) units per acre.
According to §19.04.030 (Development Standards) of the City of San Bernardino Development
Code, the allowable density within the Residential Suburban (RS) zone is 4.5 units per acre,
which would allow up to a maximum of sixteen (16) residential units on the subject site. The
requested Residential Medium High-20 (RMH-20) zone has an allowable density of twenty (20)
units per acre, which is consistent with the residential density allowed by the County of San
Bernardino.
Sewer Service - Pursuant to Resolution N. 97-275, adopted by the Mayor and Common Council
on September 4, 1997, properties located outside of the incorporated territory of the City of San
Bernardino may receive sewer services, subject to the execution of a standard form agreement.
California Government Code §56133 also requires the approval by the Local Agency Formation
Commission for connection of properties within the County to a City's sewer system.
Accordingly, on January 15, 2014, the applicant submitted an Application for Sewer Services
Outside of City Boundaries with the City's Public Works Department - Real Property Division to
Updated: 8/30/2016 by Georgeann "Gigi" Hanna G I Packet Pg. 839
4536
initiate the proceedings for the connection to the City's sewer system for the subject property
which is located outside the boundaries of the City of San Bernardino, pursuant to California
Government Code §56133. Under the terms of this application, the applicant has agreed that
he will be required to execute an "Irrevocable Agreement to Annex" in the event that the subject
property is annexed into the City of San Bernardino at some future time. Subsequently, in
February 2014, the applicant submitted a Sewer Line Capacity Evaluation/Analysis to determine
if the existing sewer line located on N. 1st Avenue to N. "F" Street from 48th Street to the main
line at 40th Street has adequate capacity to allow the connection of the proposed fifty-one (51)
residential unit PUD for proposed Tentative Tract Map 17501 to the sewer line. On April 21,
2014, the City Engineer of the City of San Bernardino approved the Sewer Line Capacity
Evaluation/Analysis and its recommendations.
General Plan Amendment and Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) -
This request is only to change of the General Plan Land Use Designation and the Zoning
District of the subject site and does not involve the actual approval of the proposed fifty-one (51)
residential unit PUD. Should the Mayor and Common Council approve General Plan
Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17, the
County of San Bernardino will then be able to proceed with the processing of their respective
Conditional Use Permit P2008-00253 and Tentative Tract Map 17501 application in order to
allow the construction of the proposed fifty-one (51) residential unit PUD.
Public Comments and Planning Commission Review - On April 20, 2016, the Planning
Commission conducted a public hearing on General Plan Amendment 16-02 and Development
Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17. During the public hearing, residents from
the neighboring Arrowhead Farms community located within the subject sphere of influence of
the unincorporated area of the City of San Bernardino raised concerns relating to the proposed
increased density and its potential impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. Upon the
conclusion of the public testimony and after their deliberation, the Planning Commission was in
concurrence that the increased density is not appropriate for this specific neighborhood. Thus,
this item was continued to their meeting of May 18, 2016, and staff was directed to prepare a
Resolution forwarding a recommendation of denial to the Mayor and Common Council for
General Plan Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment.
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 General Plan Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map
Amendment) 14-17 and concluded that General Plan Amendment and Development Code
Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17 is found to be exempt under §15061(b)(2)
(Review for Exemption) of CEQA.
Pursuant to §15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) of CEQA, a Class 32 Categorical Exemption
consists of projects characterized as in-fill development projects meeting the conditions
contained within §15332 of CEQA. The Planning Division staff has analyzed proposed General
Plan Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17
and has determined that it is Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to §15332 of the CEQA
Guidelines due to the fact that: 1) with the approval of General Plan Amendment 16-02 and
Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17, the project is consistent the
applicable General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with
applicable zoning district and regulations; 2) the proposed development is located on a site
within the City's sphere of influence on less than five (5) acres; 3) Conditions of Approval will be
imposed to alleviate potential impacts; and, 4) there are no additional potential significant

environmental impacts that may result from the proposed development of the Planned Unit
Development comprised of fifty-one (51) attached residential units. Additionally, an
Administrative Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared under the
direction of the County of San Bernardino for their respective Conditional Use Permit P2008-
00253 and Tentative Tract Map 17501 application that will be completed and circulated during
the CEQA-mandated public review period, and the Planning Division will have the opportunity to
review and submit comments period in order to minimize potential impacts to the surrounding
area. Accordingly, pursuant to §15062 of CEQA, a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Categorical
Exemption for General Plan Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment (Zoning
Map Amendment) 14-17 was published on April 8, 2016 for the CEQA-mandated ten (10) day
public review and comment period, and there were no public written comments received or
verbal comments presented as of the date of the preparation of this Staff Report.
On March 10, 2016, the Development and Environmental Review Committee reviewed the
application and Environmental Determination of the Planning Division, and moved the
Categorically Exempt pursuant to §15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) of CEQA and General
Plan Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment 14-17 to the Planning Commission
for consideration.
Conclusion:
On May 18, 2016, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed project is not
consistent with the City of San Bernardino General Plan and Development Code, and that the
application does not satisfy the Findings of Fact required for approval of General Plan
Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment(Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17.

Q
On May 18, 2016, in accordance with §15061 of CEQA, during a duly advertised and continued N
public hearing, the Planning Commission considered the Categorical Exemption pursuant to

DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT (ZONING MAP
AMENDMENT) 14-17: a
0
Sections 19.42.050, 19.50.050 and 19.74.050 of the City of San Bernardino Development Code a
require that General Plan Amendment and Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map °
Amendments) applications meet certain findings prior to the approval by the Mayor and
Common Council. However, the following findings are provided in support of the
recommendation by the Planning Commission for the denial of General Plan Amendment 16-02
and Development Code Amendment(Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17: f°
a
N
Finding No. 1: The proposed amendment is internally consistent with the General Plan. E
Finding of Fact: The proposed General Plan Amendment and Development Code
Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) would result in the change of the 3
General Plan Land Use Designation from Residential Suburban to
Residential Medium High-20 and the Zoning District from Residential Q
Suburban (RS) to Residential Medium High-20 (RMH-20) for three (3) to
LO
parcels containing a total of approximately 3.57 acres within the sphere of
influence of the unincorporated area of the City of San Bernardino. N
Although the proposed General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning 9
District of Residential Medium High-20 would be consistent with the o
County of San Bernardino's General Plan Land Use Designation and
Zoning District of Medium Residential for the subject three (3) parcels,
the proposed Residential Medium High-20 General Plan Land Use o
Designation and Zoning District for the construction of a Planned Unit
Development comprised of fifty-one (51) attached residential units would
not be consistent with the existing "Residential Suburban" characteristics a
of the surrounding neighborhood which is predominantly detached single
family residential. Additionally, the City's General Plan Land Use
Element has pre-zoned the sphere of influence of this specific E
unincorporated area of the City of San Bernardino as Residential Suburban o
(RS) in order to maintain its detached single family residential character.
Pursuant to the City's General Plan Land Use Element and §19.04.010(C)
of the City's Development Code, the Residential Suburban (RS) zone is E
intended to promote the development of single family detached units in a
suburban setting with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet, and a Q

maximum density of 4.5 units per net acre. Therefore, with a density of

Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17 for the 4
development of a fifty-one (51) unit attached single family residential

changing the General Plan Land Use Designation from Residential

Medium High-20 (RMH-20) for the subject three (3) parcels containing a
total of approximately 3.57 acres within the sphere of influence of the
unincorporated area of the City of San Bernardino in order to facilitate the U_
construction of a Planned Unit Development comprised of fifty-one (51) ca
attached residential units would be detrimental to the public interest,
health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City in that proposed °
attached multi-family residences would be developed within a Q
neighborhood that is predominantly comprised of detached single family CD
residences. The City's General Plan Land Use Element has pre-zoned the 7
sphere of influence of this specific unincorporated area of the City of San N
Bernardino as "Residential Suburban" in order to maintain its detached o
single family residential character, as well as to protect its residents. With
0
its established detached single family residential character, the existing N
neighborhood has been developed and maintained to specifically support .o
detached single family residences. The development of such proposed o
attached multi-family residences would generate an increased population
beyond what has been contemplated by the City or planned for by the
City's General Plan which may result in unforeseen detrimental effects. a.

Finding of Fact: The proposed General Plan Amendment and Development Code 4
Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) to change the General Plan Land
Use Designation from Residential Suburban to Residential Medium High- N

utilized will not maintain an appropriate balance of land uses due to the
predominant detached single family residential character of the a
surrounding neighborhood. Pursuant to the City's General Plan Land Use
Element and §19.04.010(C) of the City's Development Code, the
Residential Suburban (RS) zone is intended to promote the development a
of single family detached units in a suburban setting with a maximum o
density of 4.5 units per net acre. A density of twenty (20) units per acre a
which translates into up to seventy-one (71) units for the subject site. °
Y
Therefore, proposed General Plan Amendment 16-02 and Development
Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 14-17 for the development
of a fifty-one (51) unit attached single family residential Planned Unit
Development would not maintain the appropriate balance of land uses
a
within the City.
M
Finding No. 4 The subject parcels are physically suitable (including but not limited to, U_
access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and CU
adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested 3
land use designation and the anticipated land use development.
a
Finding of Fact: The subject site is currently under-utilized which is only developed with a CO
LO
single-family residence. The proposed General Plan Amendment and
Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) would N
facilitate the construction of a Planned Unit Development comprised of q
fifty-one (51) attached residential units with the on-site and off-site o
improvements. However, the City's General Plan Land Use Element has N
pre-zoned the sphere of influence of this specific unincorporated area of .2
Y
the City of San Bernardino as "Residential Suburban" in order to maintain o
its detached single family residential character and compatibility with
adjoining land uses, as well as to provide adequate services. With its
U
established detached single family residential character, the existing a
neighborhood has been developed and maintained to specifically support N
Y
detached single family residences. The development of such proposed
attached multi-family residences would generate an increased need to E
address conflicting land uses and the need for services beyond what has
been contemplated by the City or planned for by the City's General Plan a
which may result in unforeseen effects. Therefore, proposed General Plan
Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map E

SUMMARY
On April 20, 2016, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the application
involving General Plan Amendment 16-02 and Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map N
Amendment) 14-17 to allow the change of the General Plan Land Use Designation from
Residential Suburban to Residential Medium High-20 and the Zoning District from Residential o
Suburban(RS) to Residential Medium High-20 (RMH-20) for three (3) parcels containing a total
cu
of approximately 3.57 acres in order to construct a Planned Unit Development comprised of c
fifty-one (5 1) attached residential units within the sphere of influence of the unincorporated area
T
of the City of San Bernardino (please see Attachment B). a
During the public hearing, residents from the neighboring Arrowhead Farms community located c
within the subject sphere of influence of the unincorporated area of the City of San Bernardino E
raised concerns relating to the proposed increased density and its potential impacts to the o
surrounding neighborhood. Upon the conclusion of the public testimony and after their
deliberation, the Planning Commission was in concurrence that the increased density is not o
appropriate for this specific neighborhood. Thus, this item was continued to the meeting of May c
18, 2016, and staff was directed to prepare a Resolution forwarding a recommendation of denial
to the Mayor and Common Council for General Plan Amendment 16-02 and Development Code C

POLICY RELATIVE TO CONNECTION
OF UNINCORPORATED PROPERTIES TO
THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO SEWAGE SYSTEM
PURPOSE:
To establish a policy regulating the connection of parcels
under the County ' s jurisdiction to the City' s sewage system. Q
AUTHORITY: N
1 . Resolution No. 83-279 - - Provides that users located v
outside the incorporated territory of the City may receive
sewer services, subject to execution of a standard form
agreement. N
0
2 . Resolution No. 89-510 - - Establishes a connection fee for Q
an application to connect any property located outside the
corporate limits to the City public sewer, in the amount ..
of $1 ,000. 00 to recover the extra administrative cost.
E
3 . Section 56133 of the Government Code -- Requires approval o
by the Local Agency Formation Commission for connection of >
a parcel within the County to a City' s sewage or water o
system. r
c
D
BACKGROUND: a
m
A policy was adopted by Resolution No. 83-279 for the =
provision of sewer services to users located outside the City.
a
The City' s Director of Public Works/City Engineer was V)
authorized to execute a standard form agreement with any E
prospective users, subject to verification by the Board of U-
Water Commissioners, that sufficient sewer plant capacity was �
available. A copy of this standard form agreement is attached m
t
for reference. o
L
L
Section 56133 of the Government Code requires approval from aC
the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for any County M
parcel to connect to a City' s sewage or water system. The Ln
application fee for such approval is $2 ,600 . 00. LAFCO re- 7t-
LO
quires that the serving City indicate their concurrence with
the request for connection, before accepting the fee and C�
processing the application.
For any development within an unincorporated island, the
County requires that the applicant contact the City to E
ascertain if sewer service can be provided. This requirement
applies to existing single family residences wishing to a
replace a failed septic tank. In the event that sewer service
is not available (due to the lack of a sewer main or refusal
by the City to allow connection) the County will proceed to
issue a permit for a septic tank.

one concern cities typically have in allowing properties
outside their limits to connect to their sewer system, is that
the incentive for annexation is lost. Some cities have
addressed this concern by requiring the owner of a County
parcel to enter into an Irrevocable Agreement for Annexation,
in exchange for valuable consideration rendered - namely
connection to the municipal sewage system. This Agreement
would be recorded and become a covenant for future owners.
ti
r
These Agreements can be held until a majority within a certain
area is received, and then submit an application for annexa-
tion. N
Q
U
POLICY:
It is the policy of the City of San Bernardino to allow connec-
tion of County parcels to the City' s sewage system, subject to cv
all of the following: °
cn

1 . Property is within the City' s Sphere of Influence. a

2. Approval by the Local Agency Formation Commission.

General Plan. D
v
5 . Execution by the owner of an Irrevocable Agreement for
Annexation. (Copy is attached for reference)
a

construction of sewer lateral ruins and appurtenant ii
facilities. -a
