BACKGROUND INFORMATION

This item consists of a request for a Policy Plan Amendment, Zoning Amendment, Tentative Tract Map, and Conditional Use Permit for the development of a condominium complex as follows:

                     Policy Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR) for a 4.85-acre site.

                     Zoning Amendment from Single Residential (RS) to Multiple Residential (RM) for a 4.85-acre site.

                     Tentative Tract Map No. 20727 to subdivide two parcels totaling 4.85 acres into 68 lots for a condominium development.

                     Conditional Use Permit to construct a 68-unit condominium complex with associated community amenities and infrastructure on 4.85 acres (collectively the Project).

 

In accordance with Development Code Subsection 82.04.040(b), Multiple Dwelling, 50 or More Units, Attached or Detached is a permitted use within the Multiple Residential (RM) zoning district, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. A detailed and comprehensive analysis of the Project is included within the Planning Commission Staff Report and attached as a supporting document to this item.

 

The Project has been analyzed with the preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). The MND concludes that the Project will not have a significant impact on the environment with the adoption of feasible mitigation measures, which are attached as a supporting document to this item.

 

The Development Code requires a recommendation from the San Bernardino County Planning Commission (Planning Commission) for final action by the Board of Supervisors on the Policy Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment. At the Planning Commission hearing on January 22, 2026, there were three in-person public comments in opposition of the Project. Comments received during the Planning Commission hearing focused on the adequacy of parking; potential offsite residential parking that could expand into their neighborhoods; and, that adjacent roadways would be diminished by both on-street parking and additional traffic.

 

The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Project by a vote of 3-0 (Commissioners Dayal and Stoffel absent). Based on suggestions from the Planning Commission, Condition No. 19 was added to require the creation of a Homeowners Association, establish the applicant’s responsibility for landscaping shared and right-of-way areas, and establish garage parking requirements. Aesthetic requirements were also expanded in Condition No. 59. The Planning Commission’s recommendation and proposed findings are included within the Planning Commission Staff Report and attached as a supporting document to this item.

 

This item is a declaration of intent item and if approved will be continued for final adoption as part of the Second Cycle 2026 Policy Plan Land Use Element Amendment scheduled for the April 21, 2026, meeting of the Board of Supervisors.

 

PROCUREMENT
