amendment will result in removing the existing Public -Commercial
Recreation (PCR) General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning
District Classification from the project site, resulting in the entire site
having the Industrial Light (IL) General Plan Land Use Designation
and Zoning District Classification. The Industrial Light (IL) General
Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning District Classification is
intended to provide for the new development of lighter industrial uses
along major vehicular, rail, and air transportation routes serving the
City. The change in the General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning
District Classification would provide a single land use/zone over the
entire 62.02 acre parcel and would allow the development,
establishment and operation of an industrial high cube logistics
warehouse building containing approximately 1,065,000 square feet
(Alliance California Gateway South Building 4 Project), which is
consistent with the light industrial uses within the project vicinity. The
project is also consistent with the following General Plan goal and
policies:
Goal 4.1 encourages economic activity that capitalizes upon the
transportation and locational strengths of San Bernardino.
The proposed change of the General Plan Land Use Designation
and Zoning District Classification from Public -Commercial
Recreation (PCR) to Industrial (IL) will capitalize on the City's
transportation and locational strengths and will encourage
economic development and provide employment opportunities
to the City's residents.
Policy 2.5.6 requires that new development be designed to
complement and not devalue the physical characteristics of the
surrounding environment, including consideration of the site's
natural topography and vegetation, surrounding exemplary
architectural style with tower elements along with
complimentary earth -toned colors.

I Finding No. 2:
Finding of Fact:
Policy 5.7.6 encourages architectural detailing, which includes
richly articulated surfaces rather than plain or blank walls.
The project site is flat and has been disturbed by the
development of the San Bernardino Public Golf Club. The site
is surrounded to the north by light industrial businesses. The
proposed project will result in the construction of a 1,065,000
square foot industrial high cube logistics warehouse building
with ancillary parking and landscaping. The concrete tilt -up
building will be articulated on all sides through the use of
varying parapet heights, corner tower elements and the use of
color and varying materials to break up the mass of the building
walls. The rooftop equipment will be screened, and extensive
landscaping will be provided along the project's Waterman
Avenue frontage, consistent with these policies.
San Bernardino currently has 51 City parks and recreation facilities
totaling approximately 540 acres to serve the community residents.
Additionally, the subject San Bernardino Golf Club, and the Arrowhead
Country Club and Shandin Hills Golf Course currently serve the region
beyond the City of San Bernardino and are not included as part of the
City's parks/recreation facilities inventory. Thus, changing the existing
General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning District Classification
from Public -Commercial Recreation (PCR) to Industrial Light (IL) will
not have a significant effect on the City parks and recreation facilities.
Therefore, the proposed amendment is internally consistent with the
General Plan.
The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.

Finding of Fact:
and Zoning District Classification from Public -Commercial Recreation
(PCR) to Industrial Light (IL) will facilitate the development of an
industrial high cube logistics warehouse building containing
approximately 1,065,000 square feet (Alliance California Gateway
South Building 4 Project), which is consistent with the light industrial
uses within the project vicinity. The project site has direct access from
Waterman Avenue and Orange Show Road (via Washington Avenue),
will be fully served by utility providers, will be construction in
accordance with all applicable codes and regulations, and will not result
in the need for the excessive provision of services. Additionally, any
potential impacts created by the proposed amendment will be addressed
in the Final EIR (California State Clearinghouse Schedule No.
2017021049) and appropriate mitigation measures have been included
within the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
The proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of
land uses within the City.
The proposed amendment will result in removing the existing Public -
Commercial Recreation (PCR) General Plan Land Use Designation and
Zoning District Classification from the project site, resulting in the

industrial high cube logistics warehouse building containing
approximately 1,065,000 square feet in order to capitalize on the City's
transportation and locational strengths and will encourage economic
development and provide employment opportunities to the City's
residents. Therefore, the proposed amendment will not change the
balance of land uses within the City due to the fact that the Industrial
Light (IL) General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning District
Classification to allow an industrial development on a parcel adjacent
to and directly across the street from other large parcels of land

designated for industrial uses and create greater consistency with the
surrounding properties and provide for an appropriate balance of land
uses within the City limits.
In the case of an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map, the
subject parcel(s) is physically suitable (including, but not limited to
access, provisions of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses,
and absence of physical constraints) for the requested land use
designation(s) and the anticipated land use development(s).
The project site is currently comprised of six (6) parcels that are
proposed to be merged into two (2) parcels containing a total of
approximately 62.02 acres. The project site will be generally flat with
direct access from Waterman Avenue and Orange Show Road (via
Washington Street). Utilities are available directly from Waterman
Avenue. The project site is sufficient in size to meet parking, loading
and landscaping requirements for the proposed industrial high cube
logistics warehouse building containing approximately 1,065,000
square feet, and there are no physical constraints on the site, such as
steep slopes or watercourses.
