Request for Council Action
Date: April 6, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager
By: Oliver Mujica, Planning Division Manager
Subject: Amendment No. 1 to the PSA with PlaceWorks for Enhanced Public Participation Program (All Wards)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with PlaceWorks for the enhanced Public Participation Program associated with the comprehensive General Plan update and Downtown Specific Plan.
Background
On September 16, 2020, the Mayor and City Council authorized the ex ecution of a Professional Services Agreement with PlaceWorks to assist the City with the preparation of the comprehensive General Plan, Development Code, Downtown Specific Plan, and the associated Environmental Impact Report.
PlaceWorks has created the Ci ty’s General Plan website FutureSB2050.com as a critical component of the public participation program providing one of the primary communication channels for the community making recommendations to the Planning Commission and the Mayor and City Council. T he community is encouraged to provide feedback and guidance throughout the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan process so that they may provide a community perspective on goals, policies and programs proposed for the updated General Plan, as well as th e land use districts, regulatory standards and design guidelines for the Downtown Specific Plan.
On July 15, 2021, the appointed General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) conducted their first official public meeting. Since then, the GPAC has been meetin g on a monthly basis. Additionally, on July 28, 2021, the appointed Downtown Advisory Committee (DTAC) conducted their first official public meeting. Since then, the DTAC has also been 11 Packet Pg. 224
8859
meeting regularly on a monthly basis.
A diversity of public engagement activities has been conducted during this initial year of the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan work programs. These encompass meetings of the GPAC and DTAC, “issues and visioning” workshops with the public, “pop-up” activities at community events, presentations and meetings with community stakeholder individuals and groups, and postings and surveys on the dedicated project website. Additionally, Staff and PlaceWorks have been working in collaboration with the City’s selected development team (RD/ICO ) for the redevelopment of the Carousel Mall site to ensure a cohesive development program of intended land uses and development criteria as the catalyst for revitalizing the Downtown. These activities and input received are comprehensively described in th e “Visioning the Future of San Bernardino:
Executive Summary 2021” and available for review on the project website (FutureSB2050.com).
Over the course of the past months of the work program, both the GPAC and DTAC have expressed the need to expand the pub lic participation work program efforts in order to create a greater engagement by the community. As directed, PlaceWorks has prepared an “enhanced” public participation program based upon the recommendation from the GPAC and DTAC, as well as from Staff. On February 10, 2022, a sub - committee comprised of representatives from both the GPAC and DTAC met with Staff and PlaceWorks to review the expanded work program. As such, Staff has prepared this proposed amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with PlaceWorks for the scope of work associated with the expanded public participation program.
Discussion
With the concurrence and support by the GPAC and DTAC, several goals are identified as the foundation for implementing a successful expanded program of public participation, as follows:
✓ To engage a broad cross -section of residents that is representative of the San Bernardino community; where the cumulative number of participants is secondary to fostering participation from all neighborhoods, ethnicitie s, ages, incomes, educational attainment, home tenancy (ownership and rental), years of residency, and interests.
✓ To engage the community where they live, in places where they are comfortable and feel safe in meeting and conversing with their neighbors a nd City representatives, and in events in which they actively participate.
✓ To partner with organizations and institutions that are knowledgeable, respected, and have a deep track record of effectively working within the community.
✓ To engage the communi ty in the discussion and identification of strategies to address issues that are of importance to the community 11 Packet Pg. 225
8859
that are relevant to the policy tools and actions within the mandated scope and authorities of a general plan, specific plan, and development co de, recognizing that many other issues face San Bernardino that can only be addressed through other City tools and processes and informing the community of these.
✓ To demonstrate that City staff and the consultant team have listened to all voices, clearly explaining how recommendations were made when opinions and approaches to address issues may vary within the community.
✓ To maintain a visible process, where each step of the planning and outreach program are well documented and accessible to the community.
✓ To monitor each step of the participation program, build upon those activities successfully attracting participation and modify those that do not.
The following program of public participation activities build upon and expand venues for engagement th at were initiated during the first phase of the planning process. The second, or next, phase of the work program will center on developing an updated Land Use Plan for the City. It will be prepared at two scales: citywide and individual City Council Wards and their sub -districts. Generally, developing the Plan will involve the following steps:
✓ The GPAC will identify preliminary areas of conservation and change, based on preliminary analyses by the planning team.
✓ Workshops will be conducted in each Ward to enable residents to confirm and identify other focus areas and identify possible land uses for these. A robust program of outreach will be conducted to create awareness and induce attendance and participation. Outreach techniques will involve activitie s described below including social media posts and blogs and engagement of the Neighborhood Associations and City Council offices. Community Based
Organizations (CBOs) will be engaged to notify and support attendance by their network of organizations and r esidents (see below for further description). We will also coordinate with local High School Students and their teachers to create a process where they will also be asked to conduct the same activities presented in the community workshops to provide feedba ck to the City, Planning Team and GPAC for consideration and deliberation.
✓ The planning team will develop preliminary land use concepts in consideration of the input received during the community workshops. ✓ The Input received from the community worksho ps, high school 11 Packet Pg. 226
8859
students and CBOs will be transmitted to the GPAC, who will work with the planning team in developing a preliminary draft land use plan. ✓ CBOs can volunteer to host their own meetings and will be given the opportunity to host and facilitat e their own meetings with their network of participants to obtain input that mirrors the activities conducted at the workshops hosted in each Ward. Emphasis will be placed on connecting these plans with the issues and objectives of the community.
✓ Land us e concepts will also be presented at pop -up events, where interactive exercises will be conducted to enable participants to provide feedback confirming or recommending alternative uses and the benefits of the General Plan will be promoted.
✓ Concurrently, workshops/meetings will be conducted with property owners and developers to review and receive feedback on the preliminary land use plan and to learn more about the change’s property owners are requesting on their parcels.
✓ Feedback from the CBO hosted ev ents and property owner/developer meetings will be forwarded to the planning team and GPAC as input for finalizing a preferred draft plan.
The third phase of the planning program will involve the development of the goals, policies, and implementation prog rams for the diverse elements of the General Plan.
While considerable content will address legally required and technical topics, the public outreach program will focus on the important issues that have and continue to be identified in discussions with the community. These will be sorted into lists of those that have direct or indirect relevance for general plan policy and those that are not appropriate but may be addressed through other initiatives by the City. CBOs will play an important role in leading discussion and identifying solutions for the issues, while the planning team will work with the GPAC in developing pertinent policies based on this input. Steps in this process will involve:
✓ A promotional piece will be developed to share with the communi ty in this phase. The handout will provide an overview of how the community’s highest priority issues (such as crime, traffic, housing, jobs, and environmental justice) are addressed in the general plan and what that means for them.
✓ CBOs will host and f acilitate meetings (with some high -level support and materials provided by the City) focusing on key community issues identified in the planning process, with emphasis on those related to general plan elements, and discuss possible policy approaches to address these. Consultant staff will participate as a resource in educating participants regarding the scope of feasibility of options under consideration.
11 Packet Pg. 227
8859
✓ Pop-up events will be conducted at which participants will be requested to provide input on key community issues and policy options (e.g., affordable housing, mobility, economic development and jobs, community health and safety, and so on).
✓ The planning team will develop “working draft” goals and policies in consideration of input received from the CBO -hosted meetings and pop-up events. A “strike -out” and “underline” draft of the elements will be prepared.
✓ These will be reviewed with the GPAC and fine -tuned in response to comments received.
✓ CBOs will reconvene with their constituencies and review and request feedback on a formal draft of updated goals and policies. ✓ Comments received from the CBO-hosted meetings will be provided to the GPAC and final draft element goals and policies will be prepared.

SAN BERNARDINO GENERAL PLAN
MOMENTUM-BUILDING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN
February 14, 2022
A diversity of public engagement activities have been conducted during the initial year of the San Bernardino General Plan/Downtown Specific Plan work program. These encompass meetings of the General Plan and Downtown Advisory Committees, “issues and visioning” workshops conducted in each City Council W ard and virtually, issues and preliminary planning workshops for the downtown Specific Plan area, “pop-up” activities at community events, presentations and meetings with community stakeholder individuals and groups, and postings and surveys on the dedicated project website (futuresb2050.org). These activities and input received are comprehensively described in “Visioning the Future of San Bernardino: Executive Summary 2021” attached herein and available for review on the project website.
In a City as large and diverse as San Bernardino, a key challenge is the engagement and participation of the broadest cross-section of community residents and interest groups. Several factors affect the level of participation: awareness of the planning program and v enues for participation, recognition of its relevance and importance to a resident or business-person (is this worth my time and will it benefit my life?), accessibility to participation activities (in my neighborhood?), communication of sometimes abstract and technical planning concepts in language that is understood, and confidence that the input offered will be heard and influence the outcomes of the planning process.
The ability to attract participants is also challenged by San Bernardino’s demographics , where for many the most important issues are not those directly addressed by general plan programs, but food on the table, affordable housing, and well-paying jobs.
In entering the next phase of the planning program, the project team is aware of concerns that have been expressed on observation of the effectiveness of the current activities in attracting a level of participation reflective of the size and diversity of the City. To a ddress this issue, the team is suggesting consideration of additional appr oaches to enhance awareness and broaden the level of community participation . These are presented below and describe “core” activities that are essential for compliance with State -mandates, while others may be optional but offer opportunities to grow interest and build momentum for the planning program.
Goals of the Momentum-Building Public Participation Plan
A number of goals are identified as the foundation for implementing a successful expanded program of public participation:
1. To engage a broad cross -section of residents that is representative of the San Bernardino community; where the cumulative number of participant s is secondary to fostering participation from all neighborhoods, ethnicities, ages, incomes, educational attainment, home tenancy (ownership and rental), years of residency, and interests.
2. To engage the community where they live , in places where they are comfortable and feel safe in meeting and conversing with their neighbors and City representatives, and in events in which they actively participate.
3. To partner with organizations and institutions that are knowledgeable, respected, and have a deep track record of effectively working within the community.
11.b

Attachment: Attachment 2 - Exhibit A - Additional Services (8859 : Amendment No. 1 to the PSA with PlaceWorks for Enhanced Public
2 4. To engage the community in the discussion and identification of strategies to address issues that are of importance to the community that are relevant to the policy tools and actions within the mandated scop e and authorities of a general plan, specific plan, and development code, recognizing that many other issues face San Bernardino that can only be addressed through other City tools and processes and informing the community of these.
5. To demonstrate that Cit y staff and the consultant team have listened to all voices, clearly explaining how recommendations were made when opinions and approaches to address issues may vary within the community.
6. To maintain a visible process, where each step of the planning and outreach program are well documented and accessible to the community.
7. To monitor each step of the participation program, build upon those activities successfully attracting participation and modify those that do not.
Community Participation Approach
In meeting these goals, the following program of public participation activities are proposed. These build upon and expand venues for engagement that were initiated during the first phase of the planning process.
The second, or next, phase of the work program will center on developing an updated Land Use Plan for the City. It will be prepared at two scales: citywide and individual City Council Wards and their sub -districts. Generally, developing the Plan will involve the following steps:
1. The GPAC will identify preliminary areas of conservation and change, based on preliminary analyses by the planning team.
2. Workshops will be conducted in each Ward to enable residents to confirm and identify other focus areas and identify possible land uses for these. A robust program of outreach will be conducted to create awareness and induce attendance and participation. Outreach techniques will involve activities described below including social media posts and blogs and engagement of the Neighborhood Associations and City Council offices. Community Based Organizations (CBOs) will be engaged to notify and support attendance by their network of organizations and residents (see below for further description ). We will also coordinate with local High School Stu dents and their teachers to create a process where they will also be asked to conduct the same activities presented in the community workshops to provide feedback to the City, Planning Team and GPAC for consideration and deliberation.
3. The planning team will develop preliminary land use concepts in consideration of the input received during the community workshops.
4. The Input received from the community workshops , high school students and CBO’s will be transmitted to the GPAC, who will work with the planning team in developing a preliminary draft land use plan .
5. CBOs can volunteer to host their own meetings and will be given the opportunity to host and facilitate their own meetings with their net work of participants to obtain input that mirrors the activities conducted at the workshops hosted in each Ward. Emphasis will be placed on connecting these plans with the issues and objectives of the community.
6. Land use concepts will also be presented at pop-up events, where interactive exercises will be conducted to enable participants to provide feedback confirming or recommending alternative uses and the benefits of the General Plan will be promoted.

3 7. Concurrently, workshops/meetings will be conducted wi th property owners and developers to review and received feedback on the preliminary land use plan and to learn more about the changes property owners are requesting on their parcels.
8. Feedback from the CBO hosted events and property owner/developer meeting s will be forwarded to the planning team and GPAC as input for finalizing a preferred draft plan.
The third phase of the planning program will involve the development of the goals, policies, and implementation programs for the diverse elements of the General Plan. While considerable content will address legally required and technical topics, the public outreach program will focus on the important issues that have and continue to be identified in discussions with the community. These will be sorted into lists of those that have direct or indirect relevance for general plan policy and those that are not appropriate but may be addressed through other initiatives by the City. CBOs will play an important role in leading discussion and identifying solutions for the issues, while the planning team will work with the GPAC in developing pertinent policies based on this input. Steps in this process will involve:
1. A promotional piece will be developed to share with the community in this phase. The handout will provide an overview of how the community’s highest priority issues (such as crime, traffic, housing, jobs and environmental justice) are addressed in the general plan and what that means for them.
2. CBOs will host and facilitate meetings (with some high-level support and materials provided by the City) focusing on key community issues associated identified in the planning process, with emphasis on those related t o general plan elements, and discuss possible policy approaches to address these. Consultant staff will participate as a resource in educating participants regarding the scope of feasibility of options under consideration.
3. Pop-up events will be conducted a t which participants will be requested to provide input on key community issues and policy options (e.g., affordable housing, mobility, economic development and jobs, community health and safety, and so on).
4. The planning team will develop “working draft” g oals and policies in consideration of input received from the CBO-hosted meetings and pop-up events. A “strike-out” and “underline” draft of the elements will be prepared.
5. These will be reviewed with the GPAC and fine-tuned in response to comments received.
6. CBOs will reconvene with their constituencies and review and request feedback on a formal draft of updated goals and policies.
7. Comments received from the CBO -hosted meetings will be provided to the GPAC and final draft element goals and policies will be prepared.
Creating Awareness and Interest for Participating in Planning Events and Worksh ops
1. Partnership with Community-Based Organizations
One of the most significant networks directly connected to many San Bernardino residents are the multiplicity of Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) representing a diversity of interests, objectives, and initiatives. Many are well-known and acknowledged a s representing important issues and needs of residents that may not be addressed by government. Essentially, they are an important conduit to communities not traditionally participating in planning processes. Some are expert in attracting residents to work shops and events. Others, effectively reach out into the community to conduct meeting on their “turf.” Partnering with CBOs offer the opportunity to expand awareness and participation for the General Plan/Downtown Specific Plan program.
11.b
Packet Pg. 235
Attachment: Attachment 2 - Exhibit A - Additional Services (8859 : Amendment No. 1 to the PSA with PlaceWorks for Enhanced Public
4 As discussed in th e Approach, we envision engaging CBOs at various stages and purposes during the phases of the planning program. To start, it will be important to identify and commit those that exhibit the greatest interest, demonstrated success, and potential in meeting the objectives of the public engagement program. We propose to provide them with a brief survey describing their level of interest in participating and willingness to host workshops that are self -facilitated with their constituents . Funding would be allocat ed as a stipend for participation and overall activities coordinated by the planning team (i.e. if you are able to organize at least 15 participants to complete the planning exercise, you will receive a $100 meal stipend).
2. Neighborhood Associations
San Be rnardino’s extensive network of Neighborhood Associations provide direct connections to residents throughout the City. It is the intent of the planning team to actively engage their presidents providing and encouraging distribution of information to their membership about upcoming workshops and events and, where receptive, provide surveys and other input “tools” for their administration at regular meetings.
3. City Council Members Community Meetings
In the first round of issues and visions workshops, several City Council members served an active role in and successfully encouraged participation of their constituency. The project team proposes to work closely with the City Council offices to expand their role as “ambassadors” of the planning process and engagement activities.
Flyers announcing events will be provided for the Council member’s distribution at their scheduled neighborhood and community meetings. We will also provide Councilmembers with an information kit that includes webcards to hand out, General Plan FAQ’s, flyers for upcoming meetings, and any other materials that can help promote the effort. These may be coupled with surveys addressing land use and policy options being developed in the planning process.
4. Stakeholder Interviews
Meetings have been and will continue to be conducted for the identification of interests, issues, objectives, practices/activities, and responsibilities of leadership of public and private community organizations (e.g., school districts, business organiza tions, faith-based, health providers, tribal, and other). As planning concepts and policies and developed, meetings with these organizations will offer a forum for the testing of preliminary ideas and developing support for final recommendations. Additiona lly, these individuals and organizations can serve as a forum for educating and encouraging participation by their constituencies.
5. Community Training Initiative
Sessions educating community residents regarding the scope and content of general plans, the planning process, and public participation program, encouraging their continued engagement in public outreach activities and serve as “ambassadors” to generate int erest with their constituent groups. Two additional sessions are scheduled in advance of the land use planning and policy development community workshops.
6. Pop-Up Events
The project team will “piggy-back” onto scheduled citywide and local community events to be visible, create awareness, and provide opportunities for input in developing the upland land use plan and element goals and policies, as described in the Approach. Comparable to previous events, this will provide the opportunity educate residents about the planning process’ purposes, encourage attendance at engagement activities, respond to surveys, and participate in interactive exercises.

5 7. Community Vision Mural
Involve local artists in the development of a mural that visualizes elements of the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan Vision Statements. It is intended to create awareness and excitement about possible outcomes of the planning process. The artwork may be static in one location or formatted for moving to multiple locations throughout the community. It could also be designed as an iconic image that would be posted on flyers and other work products.
8. Project Website
The project website is the baseline platform for the planning program for those with compu ter access. It provides information about the planning project’s purposes and processes, describes how the public can keep informed and be involved, announces dates and locations for participation activities, posts documents developed in the planning proce ss, incorporates surveys for public comment on issues raised and response to draft documents , provides a library of resources including legislative requirements, guidelines, and relevant existing planning documents, and contact information for those seekin g additional information. This will be an important tool in the next stages of the planning process, as land use and policy options developed through other engagement activities will be posted to enable the community to learn about and offer responses to what is being considered.
9. Social Media
Social media is one of the most significant tools to create awareness and provide forums for community discussion of planning issues and options. It is a common platform for most residents, including tho se that may not have access to a computer. To date, it has been minimally used and will be significantly expanded during the next phase of the planning process. Weekly or bi -weekly postings on Facebook, Instagram, and NextDoor will provide information abou t the planning process, announcements of participation events, and serve as a platform for the common discussion of key planning issues such as strategies for affordable housing and to address the growing vacancy of retail buildings.
Activities that Maximize Community Education, Discussion, and Input
1. General Plan Advisory Committee
The General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) was appointed by the Mayor and City Council as the key public body serving as the conduit to all Wards, representing the ir diversity of interests , needs, and viewpoints, educating the community regarding the project’s purposes and process, and encouraging participation in planning workshops and events. Standing meetings will continue throughout the planning process as forums for the input to the development of plans, goals, policies, and implementation programs. As the scope of the required planning documents is broad and many are very technical and based on the extended meetings in developing the Vision Statement , the planning team believes that the remaining number of contractual meetings will be insufficient to enable full discussion by the GPAC of options that may be considered, consultation with their constituencies, and ownership of the recommendations. I t is re commended that the number of contracted meetings be expanded to add a minimum of four meetings to enable thorough discussion of options for each Ward in preparing the updated land use plan, and five meetings to discuss the goals and policies for the plan elements. Under this scenario, a total of 26 meetings will be conducted through the duration

6 of the General Plan’s preparation, or 12 meeting s in addition to the 14 currently covered by the existing contractual agreement.
2. Downtown Advisory Committee
Similar to the GPAC, the Downtown Advisory Committee (DTAC) was appointed by the Mayor and City Council to be the primary public body providing input to and promoting community participation for the preparation of the Downtown Specific Plan. Like the GPAC, stand ing meetings will continue through completion of the draft plan and four additional meetings are recommended to enable full discussion of options and development of final plan recommendations.
3. Art of the Possible: Community Placemaking Activity
A critical element of a successful engagement program is to demonstrate to the community the types of things that the General Plan can set the stage for. These activities are intended to serve as catalyst projects, helping the community to envision the types of changes that would occur through the direction provided in the General Plan. Activities will be interactive, interesting, and fun, and demonstrate that the plans can lead to real change that is reflective of community aspirations for the future. The “Art of the Possible Activities” would be held between the Focus Areas and Proposed Land Use Plan community meetings so that the community can start to visualize the change that was generated by the input received during the visioning and focus area work shops.
This will be a collaborative effort that will engage the City’s CBOs and their networks as well as high school students and their teachers to design and create, and the general public will be encouraged to participate (think a local CicLAvia event) . Other ideas could include a temporary parklet, or other project that would be implemented in a selected location to demonstrate the character of improvements that could result from the planning process and enhance the identify, culture, and quality of th e local community. Up to three of these activities are envisioned in various locations in the City (sites, locations TBD).
4. Community Workshops
Workshops to be conducted in groupings of City Council Wards (3 rounds at 4 locations or 4 rounds at 3 locations) were originally structured as the primary forum for the greater community to provide input for the planning process. Early, it was recognized that the diversity of San Bernardino merited the conduct of separate workshops for each Ward. In practice, nine were conducted in the first round focusing on the identification of issues and visioning for the future. The two additional workshops were intended to add a meeting location that was closer to and better known by the local neighborhood and offer an option for participating virtually during the COVID -19 epidemic. A second round of workshops will enable the community to provide input for developing the updated land use diagram, which will depict areas of the City to be sustained for their current uses and densities/intensities and those in which new development will be targeted . For the latter, the team and GPAC will hear the community’s ideas for the types of uses to be permitted. This is one of the most important p hases of the planning process and, experience suggests, will likely attract property owners and developers with requests for specific sites. Workshop input will be vetted through subsequent meetings hosted by the core CBO group, as discussed above.
A third round would educate residents regarding the content of the draft General Plan and findings or the Program Environmental Impact Report to enable informed discussion at public hearings to be conducted by the Planning Commission and City Council. At this time, it is anticipated that virtual workshops will be necessary for each round in addition to in-person to offer an opportunity for individuals concerned regarding exposure to the virus to participate.

7 5. Focus Group Policy Discussion Sessions.
In developing the goals and policies for the general plan elements, focus group discussion sessions will be conducted with residents and interested parties to address key issues identified during the first phase of the planning process relevant to each element; as examp les, affordable housing, job creation, community safety, and equity. Representatives from Community -Based Organizations will be convene d to work with the planning team to confirm the topics of importance based on their experience and knowledge of community issues. For budgeting, it is assumed that a maximum of eight (8) topics will be identified, and a program of discussion sessions scheduled and residents from throughout the City invited to participate. Each session will review issues that have been identified, provide the opportunity for further input, and discuss possible policy approaches to address these. Input from the sessions will be compiled for review by the GPAC for its deliberations in developing recommended goals and policies.
6. Downtown Workshops
To date, three workshops (2 in-person and 1 virtual) have been conducted in developing a vision and preliminary land use and urban form plans for the downtown Specific Plan area. One addition al round of workshops is anticipated for the development of refined land use, mobility, infrastructure, and public re alm/open space plans, development standards, design guidelines, and implementation programs. It will be conducted on an accelerated schedule to meet objectives for the near -term redevelopment of the Carousel Mall and improvement of the greater area. As the Ward-based workshops, a robust program of outreach will be conducted to maximize participation from businesses and the greater community.
7. “Go Human” Campaign
Safety aspects of mobility are important concerns of every community and is an important focused issue for the planning process. The planning team will work with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to engage San Bernardino’s residents in a program with the goals of reducing traffic collisions in Southern California and encouragi ng people to walk and bike more. It will utilize resources available from SCAG for engagement, education, information sharing, projects, and events.

1 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
VISIONING THE FUTURE OF SAN BERNARDINO: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2021
INTRODUCTION
Visioning the Future of San Bernardino represents the first phase of involving the community in updating the City of San Bernardino General Plan. Engagement efforts began in Spring 2021 and concluded during Fall 2021 to collect input from residents, local leaders, and stakeholders regarding their perceptions of existing issues and visions for the future of the City. A range of activities to engage residents involved workshops, pop-ups, online surveys, stakeholder interviews, and other initiatives. Cumulatively, over 200 individuals participated in community workshops and provided over 1,400 written comments addressing community visions. Additionally, a total of 186 community surveys were received and nine focus groups interviews or roundtables were held in efforts to compile feedback from diverse participants. The following sections describe the outreach process and outcomes of each outreach activity.
COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS: ISSUES AND VISIONS
Community workshops were conducted to enable members of the community to contribute ideas and concepts for the Vision Statement of the updated San Bernardino General Plan. A total of 236 participants registered at the Issues and Visions workshops held citywide and for each Council Ward, see Table 1. All workshops followed a similar format but were held on different days, including the citywide virtual workshop that was held to accommodate safety precautions from COVID-19. Each workshop provided Spanish interpretation. All in-person workshops also offered snacks and water.
Workshops were advertised using social media, e-blasts and emails, paper flyer distribution, and updates on the project website. Facebook was used to post information about the community workshops at least three weeks in advance and re-posted closer to the scheduled workshops dates. The City encouraged posting or re-sharing the workshop flyers to neighborhood associations, elected officials, and local stakeholders, including UPLIFT SB, SBCUSD Family Engagement Center, and SBC Police Department. The City sent e-blasts promoting the workshops to over 200 contacts from the project mailing list and emailed flyers to over 30 stakeholders representing community-based organizations, public service agencies, or other local community initiatives. The City also provided hard copy flyers to city elected and appointed officials for distributing among their networks. Additionally, flyers were distributed at “pop-ups,” which were usually hosted by community-based organizations or intended to reach residents who may not already be aware of the City’s planning efforts. To further promote participation for residents in Ward 2, the City collaborated with a local community organization, Inland Congregations United for Change, to host the workshop at a local church.

During the community workshops, participants were instructed to discuss the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (S.W.O.T.) of their Ward and/or city at large in small breakout groups. A total of 1,160 public statements were recorded as part of this analysis and categorized into major themes.
See Appendix A for activity instructions and results. The top “strengths” were parks and open space, the city’s history, art and diverse culture, and the entertainment and employment opportunities offered at Hospitality Lane and commercial corridors. The top “weaknesses” cited were prevalence of crime, personal safety, perceptions of insecurity, lack of adequate infrastructure and public services, and political corruption. The top “opportunities” included improving existing parks, creating more open space and recreation, redevelopment and development at vacant available land, and more youth and educational programming. The top “threats” were lack of trust in political leadership and use of public funds, environmental burdens and natural disasters, and issues with police, crime, violence and safety.
Participants were also asked to imagine the future of their city in the year 2050. Questions revolved around eight topics relevant to the General Plan: land use and community character, neighborhoods and housing, circulation and mobility, economic vitality, public services and infrastructure, environment and climate, health and safety, and a fair and equitable city. A total of 1,483 public comments were gathered and recorded to help serve as the foundation on which a Vision Statement will be written as the "prologue" to the San Bernardino General Plan 2050. See Appendix B for the activity’s questions and for a full list of public comments as part of the visioning activity at the Community Workshops: Issues and Visions.
POP-UPS
The City of San Bernardino hosted “pop-up” events, or interactive exercises, at scheduled community events to gather public input about topics relevant to the General Plan. A total of four pop-ups were held during the first phase of community outreach and intended to reach residents not already aware of the City’s planning efforts. At each pop-up, information about the project was provided, as well as opportunities to get involved. All outreach materials were provided in Spanish, and Spanish-speaking staff were present at each pop-up. A total of 62 surveys were received at the pop-ups, and 1,107 public comments were recorded as part of the pop-up’s facilitated activities, see Table 2.

The first event was held at Court Street Square, during San Bernardino’s FoodFest (June 26, 2021). It included a variety of activities, such as mapping exercises, surveys, and input boards. Community members had the opportunity to help identify issues and assets throughout the city and Downtown San Bernardino, provide circulation improvement ideas, respond to city visioning exercises, and complete a community survey. A summary of the outreach process and key findings can be found in Appendix C.
At the following three pop-ups, community members completed community surveys and received information about upcoming events. A total of 23 surveys were received during a back-to-school event hosted by the San Bernardino City Unified School District (July 27, 2021) and 26 surveys were received at a community block party hosted by UPLIFT San Bernardino (September 26, 2021).
A fourth pop-up was held during the city’s annual Rendezvous Back to Route 66 event and car show (October 2, 2021). A total of 73 public comments were received via display boards requesting participants to imagine what the City will look like in the year 2050. Participants provided their input based off the following questions, “Imagine that you would be transported 20 to 30 years in the future… What are the most significant issues and challenges that have been overcome? What attracts people to live, work, and play in the City of Downtown? What has remained constant?” See Appendix D for a full list of public comments made during the pop-up at the Back to Route 66 event.
STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS
Stakeholder interviews or roundtables with special interest groups were held to facilitate discussion on topics related to the General Plan. A total of nine focus groups were coordinated with participation from representatives across various fields, such as public health, faith, arts, public services, education, and development, see Table 3. Stakeholder meetings took place during the months of September and October 2021.

The survey was provided in English and Spanish and asked participants about their vision for the future of the city, as well as identifying positive or negative attributes of their city. A total of 186 surveys were received. See Appendix E for key findings from the community survey.
COMMUNITY GUIDE TO PLANNING INITIATIVE
The Community Guide to Planning Initiative is an opportunity for residents to learn about the history of planning, planning tools, and the decision-making process in fun, engaging, and interactive classes. The goal of the Initiative is to provide residents with a platform to inform and shape the future of the community as part of the General Plan Update. A total of 56 participants registered to participate in the program. The first session occurred on September 29, 2021 and was held simultaneously in-person and on-line with a total of nine participants in attendance.

San Bernardino Issues and Visions Workshops Public Input
Small Group Break Out Activity: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats During August and September 2021, community workshops were conducted in all City Council Wards to enable the community to express their visions for the state of the City in the year 2050 as input for the preparation of the updated San Bernardino General Plan. To enable those unable or reluctant to attend due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus to participate, a separate virtual workshop provided a comparable opportunity for input. In the workshops, participants were invited to complete a SWOT Analysis, in which participants discussed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of their city and/or council ward.

SAN BERNARDINO ISSUES AND VISIONS WORKSHOPS PUBLIC INPUT Land Use and Community Character
During August and September 2021, community workshops were conducted in all City Council Wards to enable the community to express their visions for the state of the City in the year 2050 as input for the preparation of the updated San Bernardino General Plan. To enable those unable or reluctant to attend due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus to participate, a separate virtual workshop provided a comparable opportunity for input. In the workshops, participants were invited to imagine the future and express their visions for the state of the City as it has evolved in 2050 for each of eight topics. The following presents these un-edited comments as written on post-it notes and posted on-line during the workshops and are organized by each topic and Council Ward. The comments will serve as the foundation on which a Vision Statement will be written as the "prologue" to General Plan 2050.

San Bernardino FoodFest Event – June 26, 2021
Summary of verbal comments received, Mobility Element station
The sbX bus line should be removed. It has negative effects on businesses, and no one rides it.
Crosswalk warning lights as shown on the project mobility board are not compliant with hearing impaired.
They should have audio feedback capability.
Mini traffic circles are good for improving safety, reducing collisions.
Crosswalk near Sierra Way and 40th Street intersection, at Genevieve Street and 40th Street intersection, has a crosswalk that is signed and striped, but it could use warning lights and nighttime lighting as an improvement.
At 40th Street between Waterman Avenue and Mountain the warning lights for the roadway curve are obscured.
Buffered bicycle lanes in the downtown area would be beneficial, and more walkability.
High-visibility crosswalks and painted Bike lanes are preferred. Traffic circles are not preferred.
Want good bicycling routes, like the crosstown lanes on Northpark Boulevard. Bicycling around neighborhood of E Street and 30th Street could be improved, maybe on parallel roadways on low-stress routes.
Major roadways of Baseline Street, Highland Avenue, and Waterman Avenue need raised and landscaped medians for beautification. This would turn them into boulevards with identity.
Bicycle lanes into downtown from other neighborhoods are desired, such as by Cal State.
At the perimeter of Seccombe Lake Recreation Area, commenter was hit crossing the street by a vehicle.
Shaded bus stops are desired, divided medians on roadways are also desired.
On Perris Hill Park Road at east end of Gilbert Street, there are currently speed reduction/school zone stripes in the road, near Pacific High School. There is a need for these on 9th Street between Mt. Vernon Avenue and Medical Center Drive.
Neighborhood west of downtown and west of the I-215 corridor are cut-off from the City, with limited options to travel east-west. This should be improved.

Due to sbX in downtown area, vehicles cannot turn left such a near Carousel Mall, and businesses suffer from lack of direct access.
From 2
nd Street to Court Street on E Street, need a pedestrian crosswalk. The Specific Plan may connect more roadways so there is an opportunity.
At 2nd and J, there is a desire for an all-way stop sign for safety and pedestrian access across 2nd Street.
The 2nd Street corridor west of the I-215 and downtown needs greening.

Attachment: Attachment 5 - Visioning the Future of San Bernardino: Executive Summary 2021 (8859 : Amendment No. 1 to the PSA with 58 Poor infrastructure. Those older buildings are an asset in other cities. Let's do the same
59 It's dirty and the city doesn't do anything to fix the problems 60 Not safe , no parking, no stores to draw the residents , too many 99 cent stores, need to provide assistance to those existing mom and pop businesses that have been here for decades with money to refresh their external business, and provide a theme or similar style. Like the Noyes alert on
highland it has been here almost 100 years and it is struggling. If a business wants to put chairs or decorations outside they have to go through the permit process, but maybe that should be more lenient
62 Unclean smelly transit/ unsafe vagrants
63 Need new leadership that will bring san bernardino city more in line and competition with ontario, fontana and riverside
73 Poor street maintenance
77 Closed Hotel
78 Homelessness
83 Accept new/innovative ideas.
84 Make the abandoned mall a mixed use space. Have apartments/ condominiums above retail spaces. Create a walkable area with restaurants, artists, chain and specialty stores that residents and travelers want.
Capitalize on people traveling through the city by opening the hotel and make it NICE so that they will want to stay at least overnight and spend money here. They are driving through here to spend money in Palm Springs, Las Vegas, ski resorts, lakes, and San Diego because there's NOTHING HERE.
The only thing here is gas and fast food.
85 N/a
94 Lack of support for the arts and business incubators for the youth of the city
100
defunding the police; providing voluntary addiction treatment and mental health services; housing unhoused people
101
Why is San Bernardino housing so expensive! Highland is more attractive and house pricing is significant less
102
Mayor Bob Holcomb allowed to many apartments. Low end units from low end people. Let's be honest.

used to be a great venue - contact the antique roadshow band see if you can get them here. The amount of history this city has should be showcased. 62 Permanently remove vagrants & gangs esp at transit/ shopping areas 63 CLEANUP SEACOMBE LAKE!!!, IT IS A HAVEN FOR HOMELESS MORE
