City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: August 3, 2022

From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Nathan Freeman, Agency Director of Community, Housing,
and Economic Development
Department: Community & Economic Development (CED)
Subject: Third Amendment to Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) – Carousel Mall (Ward 1)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Approve the Amendment to the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (“ENA”) between the City of San Bernardino and San Bernardino Development Company, LLC and LPC West, Inc., for the development of Carousel Mall; and
2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to take any further actions and execute any further documents as necessary to effectuate the agreements.
Background
On January 27, 2021, staff conducted a workshop with the Mayor and the City Council.
This workshop was intended to allow the final two development teams, Renaissance Downtown USA/ICO Real Estate Group, and SCG America, to present their concept for the development of the Carousel Mall to the Mayor and City Council and the community at large. The Mayor and City Council received 55 written comments and 76 recorded comments from the public that were heard during the workshop. No decision was scheduled to be made at the workshop.
On March 3, 2021, staff presented the results of the Request for Proposal (RFP) and provided the Mayor and City Council with several alternatives for their consideration.
Subsequent to Mayor and City Council discussion, the Council selected Renaissance Downtown USA/ICO Real Estate Group (RDICO) as the preferred development team for the Carousel Mall property. As a component of the selection, the City Council requested that the majority of the deal points, terms and conditions be Packet Pg. 19
presented for consideration with six months, and that the City Council receive regular updates on the progress of negotiations.
At the June 2, 2021 Mayor and City Council Meeting, staff provided an update on the progress of the negotiations between the City and RDICO. The update included staff’s perspective on the progress along with the March and April updates from RDICO.
At the June 16, 2021 Mayor and City Council Meeting, staff provided an update on the progress of the negotiations between the City and RDICO. As a result of the update, the City Council created a Council Committee to work with and participate in the negotiation of the ENA.
At the August 18, 2021 Mayor and City Council Meeting, Resolution No. 2021-214 was adopted, which authorized the City Manager to execute the ENA between the City of San Bernardino and San Bernardino Development Company LLC (SBDC) also known as RDICO for the Carousel Mall property.
On Mach 13, 2022, as allowed by Section 3(b) of the original ENA, the City and SBDC entered into the First Amendment to the original ENA (Attachment 2), which extended the term of the original ENA by 90 days or until June 13, 2022.
On June 10, 2022, again, as allowed by Section 3(b) of the original ENA, the City and SBDC entered into the Second Amendment to the original ENA (Attachment 3), which extended the term of the original ENA by another 90 days or until September 8, 2022.
On July 20, 2022, the City Council considered the proposed 3rd Amendment to the ENA for the Carousel Mall and moved to continue the item to August 3, 2022, for further discussion and review.
Discussion
The parties to the ENA, the City and SBDC, desire to enter this Third Amendment (Attachment 4) to add LPC West, Inc. (also known as the Lincoln Property Company) as a party to the original ENA and as the sole and exclusive developer for all purposes under the original ENA, extend the term of the original ENA to September 12, 2023, and update the original ENA’s Schedule of Performance (the Schedule of Performance attached as Exhibit C to the Third Amendment shall supersede and replace Exhibit C of the original ENA).
The Lincoln Property Company, with regional offices in Irvine and Los Angeles, is a privately-owned real estate firm involved in real estate investment, development, property management, and leasing worldwide. Lincoln’s cumulative development efforts have produced over 130 million square feet of commercial space and over 212,000 multifamily residential units. The Lincoln Property Company is also the second largest apartment manager in the United States.
Notable Southern California projects developed by the Lincoln Property Company include the Flight at Tustin Legacy (Tustin), Runway at Playa Vista (Playa Vista), 10 Packet Pg. 20
West (Pasadena), 8777 Washington Boulevard Office Development (Culver City), and the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (Anaheim).
Lincoln’s participation in the Carousel mall redevelopment project is welcome given their experience in successfully developing, financing, and delivering mixed-use projects, across the country, of similar size and scope as the proposed Carousel mall redevelopment project.
Moreover, the proposed extension of the original ENA to September 12, 2023, will allow Lincoln, and staff, the necessary time to properly negotiate the ultimate Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) for the Carousel mall property. The original ENA’s Schedule of Performance has been revised to reflect the proposed extension of the original ENA.
Lastly, included within the Third Amendment is a caveat that, as long as Lincoln is making good faith progress in the negotiation of the DDA and toward completion of the Project milestones, the City and the Lincoln, by written agreement of both parties, may extend the term and negotiation period for up to two additional periods of one hundred eighty days each.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Approving the Amendment to the ENA aligns with Key Target No. 4: Economic Growth and Development. Specifically, the redevelopment of the Carousel Mall will be a catalyst for future growth and development within the entire community.
Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impact.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Approve the Amendment to the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (“ENA”) between the City of San Bernardino and San Bernardino Development Company, LLC and LPC West, Inc., for the development of Carousel Mall; and
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to take any further actions and execute any further documents as necessary to effectuate the agreements.

CONCLUSION

DISCUSSION
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: August 3, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Barbara Whitehorn, Agency Director of Administrative Services Department: Finance
Subject: Adopt a Master Equity Lease Agreement for Light Duty Vehicles
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize the City Manager to enter into a Master Equity Lease Agreement and related lease documents with Enterprise Fleet Management, Inc., for light-duty vehicles, authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a purchase order in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000 to Enterprise Fleet Management, and adopt Resolution No. 2022-170 authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to transfer $1,200,000 from the General Fund Operating Budget to the Fleet Fund.
Background
The Department of Public Works Facilities and Fleet Maintenance Division is responsible for repairing and maintaining over 350 City vehicles in addition to several hundred pieces of equipment. The Adopted Vehicle Maintenance Budget has averaged about $3.2 million over the last three years, excluding the cost of purchasing new vehicles. The FY 2022/23 and 2023/24 budgets are $4,384,049 and $5,698,695, respectively.
The City has not established a systematic vehicle replacement program. Instead, vehicles are replaced when they reach the end of their lifecycle rather than a beneficial Packet Pg. 68
financial point in the vehicle's lifecycle cost. As a result, the City has retained older vehicles with more significant depreciation, increased maintenance and fuel costs, less dependability, and that lack updated safety features.
City staff has researched vehicle replacement and maintenance programs and determined that it is financially feasible to lease vehicles rather than purchase them.
Leasing vehicles will reduce operational costs while establishing a systematic, structured approach to vehicle replacement and maintenance.
Discussion
A comprehensive vehicle replacement plan is fundamental to efficient fleet management. The cost to operate a vehicle increases over time while the value decreases simultaneously. Consequently, the City should replace vehicles at the optimal time in the economic life rather than the vehicle's actual operational life.
Replacing vehicles at the optimal time will allow the City to get the most use during the period of the lowest operating cost before selling the vehicle while it retains more significant monetary value. An efficient replacement plan capitalizes on the ability to purchase new vehicles at reduced government pricing before selling them at an opportune time to benefit from the higher-priced public market. In addition, proceeds generated from the sale of replaced vehicles would augment funding for the City's vehicle replacement and maintenance program.
The City’s current vehicle replacement practices are not economical. Organizations typically use years in service, mileage, and maintenance cost to determine when to replace vehicles. Some common standards used by organizations like the American Public Works Association (APWA) are listed below:
Packet Pg. 69
5-7 years for non-emergency vehicles
75,000 - 100,000 Miles
Maintenance cost exceeds 50% of the vehicle purchase value The following statistics represent the City's fleet compared to commonly accepted replacement and safety standards.
38% of current vehicles are more than ten years old
43% of the existing vehicles are more than seven years old 38% of current vehicles have over 75,000 miles on the odometer 10 vehicles predate Airbag standards (1998)
84 vehicles predate Anti-lock brake standards (2007)
141 vehicles predate Electronic Stability Control standards (2012) Retaining vehicles beyond the optimal time of replacement may result in some or all the following conditions:
Increase in total operating cost and fleet budget
Extended vehicle downtime as the complexity of repairs increases and availability of parts decrease
Decrease in fleet dependability
Increase in costs associated with lack of productivity Vehicle underutilization
Decrease in salvage value as assets age
Compromised operator safety as vehicles age and lack updated safety features Some vehicles may age out of compliance with regulatory requirements Diminished public perception of City Government based on vehicle appearance Vehicle Leasing
To reduce cost and increase fleet efficiency, staff has researched alternative vehicle replacement and maintenance solutions and determined that leasing vehicles rather than purchasing them outright is the most cost-effective option for the City. Many cities across the nation have transitioned to vehicle lease programs and contract services for vehicle maintenance. Staff researched the following local cities, and all identified the benefits and cost-saving of a vehicle leasing and maintenance program:
City Saving
Redlands Projected Savings of $1,904,758 over 10 years.
Westminster The leasing program has saved the city approximately $133,000 a year.
San Marcos Projected $1,100,000 savings over 10 years. The city decreased the cost to purchase and maintain vehicles by 27%.
Packet Pg. 70
La Quinta Realized a 70% reduction in maintenance costs upon implementation. The city is projected to save 12% of fleet operating cost over 10 years. Enterprise has exceeded estimated resale value of vehicles by an average of $740 per vehicle.
Fontana Entered into leasing agreement 2021.
Rialto Entered into leasing agreement 2021.
The cities mentioned above have entered into Master Equity Lease Agreements with Enterprise Fleet Management, Inc., utilizing the existing Sourcewell contract resulting from RFP #060618. Sourcewell is a government agency that has provided cooperative purchasing programs throughout North America for more than 40 years. Sourcewell streamlines the procurement process by developing RFPs for competitive solicitations that meet or exceed local requirements. San Bernardino Municipal Code section 3.04.010 states the City may make, “Purchases from, or sales to a government or governmental agency, or through any advantageous governmental contract approved by the Council, …”
City staff has identified the following benefits to leasing vehicles:
A lease agreement will provide more flexibility as electric vehicle technology improves should the City decide to transition towards an electric-powered fleet. Open-end lease structure allows the City to replace more vehicles upfront with less capital.
The City pays sales tax based on the cost of the lease payments rather than the total cost of the vehicle.
The City has all rights of ownership and can modify and install aftermarket products on vehicles.
Leasing would provide the opportunity to minimize the amount of large capital outlay necessary for purchasing vehicles.
No mileage restrictions, no abnormal wear and tear, and no early termination penalties would allow the City's fleet to increase or decrease each year to reduce underutilization and meet City needs.
A local account team will be assigned to monitor the City's fleet and implement a consistent, proactive fleet replacement plan.
Newer vehicles will improve safety and reduce costs related to maintenance, fuel, and lack of production from vehicles out of service.
Replacing and reselling vehicles at the optimal time will recover more equity from city vehicles which may be used to fund the leasing program.
Enterprise Fleet Management is the largest fleet management provider in the United States and an expert in fleet management, maintenance, acquisition, and sales. Entering into a Master Equity Lease Agreement will allow the City to capitalize on Enterprise Fleet Packet Pg. 71
Management's expertise, resources, and extensive resale network, to operate the most efficient fleet.
City staff has communicated with Enterprise representatives and established the following parameters for the lease program:
1. The City will continue to purchase specialty vehicles such as construction vehicles, motorcycles, tactical vehicles, and any required to be purchased through grants or contractual agreements.
2. The City will replace most light-duty vehicles through the leasing program.
3. Enterprise will provide a local Account Team to assist the City that will:
a. Compile analysis to identify the best alternative fuel vehicles b. Make recommendations on the most cost-effective vehicles in each class c. Review the best time to order or sell vehicles
d. Monitor the fleet to ensure efficiencies with maintenance and fuel e. Review mileage patterns and fuel miles per gallon
f. Establish a proactive replacement plan
4. The City will establish a viable vehicle replacement program with a four to five-year replacement cycle, depending on the economic feasibility.
5. City staff will identify the required specifications and types of replacement vehicles and establish a list of the vehicles marked for replacement.
6. The replacement list will meet the goal of lowering the fleet's average age and reducing maintenance and fuel costs.
7. The City will identify any after-market equipment required for vehicles.
8. The City will select which dealerships Enterprise will use to order and deliver vehicles.
Optional Vehicle Maintenance
Enterprise Fleet Management's complete maintenance plan will provide maintenance for all non-emergency vehicles. The cost for a full maintenance plan is approximately $564 a year per vehicle. The price may vary slightly depending on the type of vehicle and projected miles the vehicle will travel annually. The full maintenance plan covers all major or minor vehicle repairs through a list of approved vendors.
Enterprise does not provide full maintenance for emergency vehicles (patrol vehicles) or current City-owned vehicles. Instead, Enterprise offers a maintenance management program. A maintenance management plan allows the city to use approved vendors to provide services for vehicles. An Enterprise Analyst would be assigned to the City's account to analyze and manage repairs. The analyst will be authorized to approve repairs up to an established amount before seeking approval from a City representative. The City is then billed for all repairs. The maintenance management plan costs $72 annually per vehicle.
Packet Pg. 72
Staff does not recommend the vehicle maintenance program. After contacting other cities that are using Enterprise Leasing, some using the maintenance and others that are not, staff found that the cities using the maintenance did not consider it a significant value add to the program. Currently the City’s major maintenance issues are driven by the age of the City’s fleet. As vehicles are replaced with newer models, most major maintenance will be covered under warranty, and optimal replacement scheduling will ensure that vehicles are replaced before they reach the point at which maintenance becomes a significant factor in operating costs. Regular maintenance, tune-ups, and oil and filter changes can be scheduled and completed in-house without City staff taking time away from regular duties to drive a vehicle to an approved vendor shop, wait for repairs, and then return to work. The leasing program will enable existing fleet staff to more efficiently manage heavy equipment repair and regular maintenance, as the City replaces older vehicles with newer models that require less major maintenance work. This will also keep staff that require vehicles to do their jobs working, rather than waiting for repairs.
Cost Analysis of a Master Equity Lease Agreement for Most Light-Duty Vehicles A 10-year analysis of the City’s fleet and current replacement practices by Enterprise suggests that adopting a leasing model may result in a saving of over $6 million; however, staff’s recommendation is not based on the potential savings identified by the recommended vendor. Staff evaluated the cost of leasing as well as the benefit of consistent replacement of vehicles, ensuring that City vehicles are equipped with the latest safety features, and the opportunity for the City to invest in alternative fuel vehicles whenever possible. The fleet replacement schedule for this plan and estimated lease cost are shown in the table below. By the fifth year of the leasing agreement, most of the City’s light duty vehicles will be leased for a projected recurring annual fee of approximately $2,608,519. The annual lease cost does not include maintenance and is an estimate that may vary depending on the type of replacement vehicles selected.

Packet Pg. 73
Enterprise, in their assessment of the City’s fleet practices and potential savings, looked at the City’s current replacement schedules and annual investments. While this comparison results in a potential savings, in order to evaluate the true cost/benefit of leasing, finance staff did a side-by-side comparison of the five-year lease cost depicted above, compared to the cost should the City invest in directly purchasing and replacing vehicles on the same schedule that Enterprise recommended. This analysis is attached in Appendix A.
One of the challenges the City faces when directly purchasing and reselling vehicles is a lack of the economy of scale that Enterprise enjoys as the largest fleet management provider in the country. The City pays more for vehicles on the front end, and resale at auction generally brings in less than what Enterprise is able to recoup per vehicle at auction. The resale difference reduces the amount of money flowing back into the program to fund purchases each year, increasing the cost to the General Fund.
Additionally, as previously mentioned in the benefits to leasing, if the City directly purchases vehicles, the amount of sales tax the City pays is based on the full cost of the vehicle, increasing the total cost of each vehicle, as opposed to paying tax on the value of the lease payment.
The chart below provides a summary of the results detailed in Appendix A. The side-byside analysis includes all fleet division costs, including personnel, general maintenance, heavy equipment maintenance, fuel, and other costs to provide an all-in cost comparison.
Please note that the total cost with a lease program is higher than the previous table that includes only the approximate cost of the annual lease without other costs.
The result of the analysis shows that over five years, the City would spend nearly $25 million to implement the same fleet replacement schedule, versus approximately $15 million using the Enterprise leasing model.
Packet Pg. 74
Timing
The timing for entering into the leasing program is critical. As the City has been attempting to order vehicles for departments, staff has found that the window for ordering new vehicles is becoming tighter and tighter. In two recent cases, the ordering window for 2023 vehicles opened and closed within a 24-hour period, and the next opportunity to order is not anticipated to be available for six to nine months. City staff is less able to track the opening of ordering windows for vehicles, and while Enterprise has the advantage of economies of scale and the ability to order vehicles from multiple dealerships, they are nevertheless faced with similar challenges in ordering vehicles given the overall lack of inventory. Staff recommends that the City enter into the agreement with Enterprise as soon as possible to ensure that Enterprise can obtain vehicles for the City within a reasonable timeframe.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Authorization of this agreement aligns with Key Target No. 1.f. Improved Operational and Financial Capacity: Create an asset management plan.
Fiscal Impact
There is no financial impact to the General Fund. $1,200,000 will be transferred from the General Fund to the Fleet Fund; however, the Fleet Fund is an internal service fund with costs allocated to General Fund departments. Existing budgets in departments for fleet-related costs for FY 2022/23 will be used to fund the lease, and equity from the sale of City vehicles will be rolled back into the program.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize the City Manager to enter into a Master Equity Lease Agreement and related lease documents with Enterprise Fleet Management, Inc., for light-duty vehicles, authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a purchase order in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000 to Enterprise Fleet Management, and adopt Resolution No. 2022-170 authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to transfer $1,200,000 from the General Fund Operating Budget to the Fleet Fund.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Barbara Whitehorn, Agency Director of Administrative Services Subject: Public Hearing on Annexation No. 5 to Community Facilities District 2018-1 (Safety Services), (TR 20258), Adoption of Resolutions for Annexing into the Community Facilities District (Ward 6)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Hold a Public Hearing;
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2022-161 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California acting as the legislative body of the City of San Bernardino Community Facilities District No. 2018-1 (Safety Services), annexing territory to Community Facilities district No. 2018-1 (Safety Services) and calling elections therein;
3. Hold a special landowner election and canvass the election;
4. Adopt Resolution No. 2022-162 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, acting as the legislative body of the City of San Bernardino Community Facilities District No. 2018-1 (Safety Services) certifying the results of the August 3, 2022 annexation and special tax election.
Background
On June 15, 2022, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-124, a Resolution of Intention to annex territory into Community Facilities District No. 2018-1 (Safety Services) of the City of San Bernardino (the “Resolution of Intention”), pursuant to the provisions of the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982”. A public hearing was set for August 3, 2022, on the proposed annexation of the said territory into the community facilities district. As required by the Resolution of Intention, a boundary map was recorded on June 21, 2022, at 10:48 a.m. in Book 90 Page 37, Document No. 2022- Packet Pg. 131
0219974 of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts with the San Bernardino County Recorder.
The Resolution of Intention was adopted by the Mayor and City Council in response to a petition filed by the property owner of approximately 1.05 gross acres of a zoned residential lot within the City, to include 6 detached single-family residences upon buildout, requesting that the City assist them in annexing their properties into CFD No. 2018-1 under the Mello-Roos Act. The property is located at the east side of N. Meridian Avenue and west side of N. Marvin Drive, between W. 5th and 6th Street, as shown in Attachment #1. The State legislature enacted the Mello-Roos Act in 1982 to assist public agencies in financing certain public improvements by either issuing tax exempt securities that are repaid by annual levy of special taxes, or to provide for the financing of on-going public services. The landowner requested the City annex into CFD No. 2018-1 to levy a special tax to cover the costs associated with financing public safety costs. The public services to be financed within the territory to be annexed to the District are the following:
1. Police protection services (including but not limited to criminal justice services) and paramedic services; and
2. City and County costs associated with the setting, levying and collection of the special tax, and in the administration of the District including the contract administration and operating reserves.
The proposed total maximum tax rate is $385 per residential unit for FY 2022/23. The maximum annual tax rate is proposed to escalate each year after July 1, 2024 by four percent (4.0%). The property owners have agreed to initiate and conduct the CFD annexation proceedings pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act of 1982. The property owners have submitted a “Consent and Waiver” form on file in the City Clerk’s Office to initiate and conduct proceedings pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act in 1982, for the annexation into the CFD and consenting to the shortening of election time requirements, waiving analysis and arguments, and waiving all notice requirements relating to the conduct of the election.
In order to annex property to CFD No. 2018-1 pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section 53311 et seq., the City must adopt three statutorily required Resolutions are summarized below.
Resolution declaring City intent to annex territory to Community Facilities District No. 2018-1 including the boundary of the area to be annexed and the rate and method of apportionment of special taxes within the annexation area (the special tax applies only to properties within the annexation area), adopted June 15, 2022. Resolution calling an election to submit to the qualified electors the question of levying a special tax within the area proposed to be annexed to the District. Resolution declaring the results of the election and directing the recording of the notice of special tax lien.
Packet Pg. 132
Discussion
The Resolution of Intention called for a public hearing to be held on August 3, 2022, on the issue of the annexation of territory into CFD No. 2018-1. Under the Mello-Roos Act, the Mayor and City Council must hold the public hearing and consider any protests against the formation of the CFD. If the owners of one half or more of the land within the proposed boundaries of the CFD file written protests against the establishment of the CFD, the Council may not create the CFD. If a majority protest is not filed, the Mayor and City Council may adopt the resolution establishing the CFD.
Adoption of Resolution No. 2018-264 on September 19, 2018, established CFD 2018-1, pursuant to the requirements of Government Code Section 53325.1. After a CFD is formed, the Mello-Roos Act requires that for any annexations into the CFD an election be held on the question of whether the proposed special taxes should be levied. The election requires a two-thirds vote in favor of levying the special tax. The landowners filed waivers with respect to the conduct of the election pursuant to Government Code Sections 53326(a) and 53327(b), meaning that the time limits and procedural requirements for conducting an election under the Mello-Roos Act do not have to be followed. Accordingly, City staff has already mailed the election ballots to the landowners and required the ballots to be returned by the close of the public hearing. If the Mayor and City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-161, it may immediately proceed to the opening of the ballots and adopt Resolution No. 2022-162 declaring the results of the election. 2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No 1. Improved Operational & Financial Capacity and Key Target No 4. Economic Growth & Development. This project will contribute to ensure that the City is clean and attractive and provide infrastructure designed for long term economic growth.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund at this time. The individual property owners in the CFD will be responsible for annual payments of special taxes. Upon full completion of the development, it is estimated that there will be an annual collection of special tax revenues of approximately $2,310 to be used to pay for safety services. The Maximum Special Tax rate is proposed to escalate each year after July 1, 2024, by four percent (4.0%).
All costs associated with annexation into the CFD have been borne by the Developer.
Conclusion
The Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Hold a Public Hearing;
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2022-161 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, acting as the legislative body of the City of San Bernardino Community Facilities District No. 2018-1 (Safety Services), Packet Pg. 133

SECTION 4. The Mayor and City Council hereby adopts the Rate and Method attached as Attachment “C” to the Resolution of Intention as the applicable rate and method for the Annexation Territory. Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of the Mayor and City Council, subject to the approval of the eligible voters within the Annexation Territory, to levy the proposed special taxes at the rates within the Annexation Territory set forth in the Rate Packet Pg. 138

SECTION 7. Consistent with Section 53325.6 of the Act, the Mayor and City Council finds and determines that the land within the Annexation Territory, if any, devoted primarily to agricultural, timber or livestock uses and being used for the commercial production of agricultural, timber or livestock products is contiguous to other land within the Annexation Territory and will be benefited by the Services proposed to be provided within Community Facilities District No. 2018-1 and the Annexation Territory.

It is hereby found that there are not more than twelve registered voters within the territory of the Annexation Territory, and, pursuant to Section 53339.7 of the Act, each landowner who is the owner of record on the date hereof, or the authorized representative thereof, shall have one vote for each acre or portion thereof that he or she owns within the Annexation Territory.
SECTION 13. That the Mayor and City Council finds this Resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty, as in this case, that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

Background
On June 15, 2022, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-131, a Resolution of Intention to annex territory into Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services) of the City of San Bernardino (the “Resolution of Intention”), pursuant to the provisions of the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982”. A public hearing was set for August 3, 2022 on the proposed annexation of the said territory into the community facilities district. As required by the Resolution of Intention, a boundary map was recorded on June 21, 2022, at 10:48 a.m. in Book 90 Page 38, Document No. 2022-0219975 of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts with the San Bernardino County Recorder.
The Resolution of Intention was adopted by the Mayor and City Council in response to a petition filed by the property owner of approximately 1.05 gross acres of a zoned residential lot within the City, requesting that the City assist them in annexing their properties into CFD No. 2019-1 under the Mello-Roos Act. The State legislature enacted the Mello-Roos Act in 1982 to assist public agencies in financing certain public improvements by either issuing tax exempt securities that are repaid by annual levy of special taxes, or to provide for the financing of on-going public services. The landowner requested the City annex into CFD No. 2019-1 to levy a special tax to cover the costs associated with the maintenance of public improvements. The public facilities and services proposed to be financed within the territory to be annexed to the District are the following:
1. Maintenance of streets, including pavement management; and
2. Maintenance of Parks; and
3. Graffiti abatement; and
4. City and County costs associated with the setting, levying and collection of the special tax, and in the administration of the District including the contract administration and for the collection of reserve funds.
The proposed area to be annexed into the CFD will be included in Tax Zone 19 and is located at the east side of N. Meridian Avenue and west side of N. Marvin Drive, between W. 5th and 6th Street, as shown in Attachment #13.
The maximum annual special tax for this development has been calculated to be $588 per unit per year for FY 2022/23. Annual Special Tax rate is proposed to escalate each year at the greater of Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%. The property owners have agreed to initiate and conduct the CFD annexation proceedings pursuant to the MelloRoos Act of 1982. The property owners have submitted a “Consent and Waiver” form on file in the City Clerk’s Office to initiate and conduct proceedings pursuant to the MelloRoos Act in 1982, for the annexation into the CFD and consenting to the shortening of Packet Pg. 160
7/29/2022 9:31 PM
election time requirements, waiving analysis and arguments, and waiving all notice requirements relating to the conduct of the election.
In order to annex property to CFD No. 2019-1 pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section 53311 et seq., the City must adopt a series of three statutorily required Resolutions and an Ordinance which are summarized below. Resolution declaring City intent to annex territory to Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 including the boundary of the area to be annexed and the rate and method of apportionment of special taxes within the annexation area (the special tax applies only to properties within the annexation area), adopted June 15, 2022. Resolution calling an election to submit to the qualified electors the question of levying a special tax within the area proposed to be annexed to the District. Resolution declaring the results of the election and directing the recording of the notice of special tax lien.
Amend the Ordinance and order the levy and collection of special taxes in the District.
With the adoption of the Resolutions and the first reading of the amended Ordinance, the amended Ordinance would be scheduled for adoption on August 17, 2022.
Discussion
The Resolution of Intention called for a public hearing to be held on August 3, 2022 on the issue of the annexation of territory into CFD No. 2019-1. Under the Mello-Roos Act, the Mayor and City Council must hold the public hearing and consider any protests against the formation of the CFD. If the owners of one half or more of the land within the proposed boundaries of the CFD file written protests against the establishment of the CFD, the Council may not create the CFD. If a majority protest is not filed, the Mayor and City Council may adopt the resolution establishing the CFD.
Adoption of Resolution No. 2019-178 on July 17, 2019 established CFD 2019-1, pursuant to the requirements of Government Code Section 53325.1. After a CFD is formed, the Mello-Roos Act requires that for any annexations into the CFD an election be held on the question of whether the proposed special taxes should be levied. The election requires a two-thirds vote in favor of levying the special tax. The landowners filed waivers with respect to the conduct of the election pursuant to Government Code Sections 53326(a) and 53327(b), meaning that the time limits and procedural requirements for conducting an election under the Mello-Roos Act do not have to be followed. Accordingly, City staff has already mailed the election ballots to the landowners and required the ballots to be returned by the close of the public hearing. If the Mayor and City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-163 it may immediately proceed to the opening of the ballots and adopt Resolution No. 2022-164 declaring the results of the election. 2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
Packet Pg. 161
7/29/2022 9:31 PM
This project is consistent with Key Target No 1. Improved Operational & Financial Capacity and Key Target No. 4: Economic Growth & Development. This project will contribute to ensure that the City is clean and attractive and provide infrastructure designed for long term economic growth.
Fiscal Impact
The individual property owners in the CFD will be responsible for annual payments of special taxes. Upon full completion of the development, it is estimated that there will be an annual collection of special tax revenues of approximately $3,526 to be used to pay for maintenance costs.
On March 1 of each year, every taxable unit for which a building permit has been issued within the boundaries of the CFD, will be subject to the special tax for the ensuing Fiscal Year. If the anticipated costs of maintaining the facilities in any given Fiscal Year, prior to buildout of the project, exceeds the special tax revenues available from parcels for which building permits have been issued, then the special tax may also be applied to property within recorded final subdivision maps, as well as other undeveloped property within the boundaries of the CFD.
All costs associated with annexation into the CFD have been borne by the Developer. By annexing into the CFD, the costs of maintaining improvements located within the development will be financed through special taxes levied on the parcels within CFD No. 2019-1 and not through the City’s General Fund.
Conclusion
The Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Hold a Public Hearing;
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2022-163 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, calling an election to submit to the qualified electors the question of levying a special tax within the area proposed to be annexed to Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services) (Annexation No. 18);

The City Clerk shall commence the canvass of the returns of the special election as soon as the election is closed (on August 3, 2022, or when all qualified electors have voted) at the City Clerk’s office. At the conclusion of the canvass, the City Clerk shall declare the results of the election.
(f) Declaration of Results. The Mayor and City Council shall declare the results of the special election following the completion of the canvass of the returns and shall cause to be inserted into its minutes a statement of the results of the special election as ascertained by the canvass of the returns.
SECTION 10. Filing of Resolution and Map with City Clerk. The Mayor and City Council hereby directs the City Clerk to file a copy of this resolution and the annexation map of the boundaries of CFD No. 2019-1 in her office.
SECTION 11. The Mayor and City Council finds this Resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty, as in this case, that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
SECTION 12. Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are declared to be severable.

Request for Council Action
Date: August 3, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Nathan R. Freeman, Agency Director, Community, Housing, and Economic Development;
Oliver Mujica, Planning Division Manager
Subject: Development Code Amendment 22-03 (Accessory Dwelling Units) (All Wards)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1) Introduce, read by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. MC1591 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approving Development Code Amendment 22-03 amending Section
19.04.030(2)(P)(6)(a)(i) (Specific ADU Requirements) of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code (Title 19) to increase the maximum size of a detached or attached Accessory Dwelling Unit from 1,000 square feet to 1,200 square feet; and finding the Ordinance is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (Attachment 1) (Attachment 1); and
2) Schedule the adoption of the above Ordinance for the regularly scheduled meeting of the Mayor and City Council on August 17, 2022.
Background
The State of California has identified an Accessory Dwelling Unit as providing an important housing option to both renters and homeowners. Due to their limited size, Accessory Dwelling Units typically cost less to construct than other types of housing, provide convenient housing for family members, help ease a severe shortage of rental housing in the state, maximize limited land resources, and assist homeowners with supplemental income.
On April 21, 2021, the Mayor and City Council introduced Ordinance No. MC-1559 approving Development Code Amendment 21-01 amending Title 19 (Development Code) of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code establishing the standards for Accessory Packet Pg. 214
Dwelling Units. The second reading was conducted on May 5, 2021, and the Ordinance became effective on June 5, 2021.
The California Government Code gave local jurisdictions the authority to adopt restrictions regarding the following:
The maximum unit size of a detached or attached Accessory Dwelling Unit may be limited up to 1,200 square feet. The City adopted a maximum size of up to 1,000 square feet.
There is no maximum height limitation for a detached or attached Accessory Dwelling Unit. The City adopted a maximum height of one (1) story up to sixteen (16) feet.
Since the adoption of Ordinance No. MC-1559, the Mayor and City Council directed Staff to return with an amendment to increase the maximum allowable size of ADU’s from 1,000 square feet to 1,200 square feet.
On April 12, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this item, and deliberated on the following:
In considering the appropriate square footage for the maximum size of a detached and attached ADU, the Planning Commission noted the variety of lot sizes within the City and the varying size of existing single-family residences. In some areas of the City, the size of the properties within the residential neighborhoods may not be sufficient in size to accommodate a detached or attached ADU without impacting the aesthetics of the neighborhood because of the potential for over-building the properties and thus invading the privacy of the neighbors.
After closing the public hearing, Vice Chairperson Armstead made a motion and seconded by Commissioner Quiel to forward a recommendation of denial to the Mayor and City Council regarding Development Code Amendment 22-03, and the motion passed by the following vote:
Ayes: Flores, Lewis, Lopez, Morales, Quiel, Sanchez, Armstead and Guerrero
Nays: None
On May 10, 2022, Resolution No. 2022-019 ratifying the Planning Commission’s decision recommending denial of Development Code Amendment 22-03 was presented to the Planning Commission for their consideration of ratification. During their deliberation, the Planning Commission continued this item to their Regular Meeting on June 14, 2022 and clarified their findings for their recommendation of denial, as follows:
Finding No. 1: The proposed amendment is not consistent with the General Plan.
Packet Pg. 215
The adoption and implementation of Development Code
Amendment 22-03 is not consistent with the City’s General Plan by allowing for the development of Accessory Dwelling Units within the single-family residential and multi-family residential zones in a manner that will not prevent negative impacts to the existing residential neighborhoods and the community at-large. There is a variety of lot sizes within the City and varying sizes of existing single-family residences. In some areas of the City, the size of the properties within the residential neighborhoods may not be sufficient in size to accommodate a detached or attached Accessory Dwelling
Units without impacting the aesthetics of the neighborhood because of the potential for over-building the properties and thus invading the privacy of the neighbors.
Finding No. 2: The proposed amendment would be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
The adoption and implementation of Ordinance No. MC-1559 establishing the standards for Accessory Dwelling Units was necessary and desirable for the development of the
community and is in the interests or furtherance of the public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare. In enacting the aforementioned legislation, the State Legislature identified Accessory Dwelling Units has an important housing option for renters and homeowners, given the undersupply of housing that exists in the State. Ordinance No. MC-1559 brought the City’s Development Code into compliance with these
aforementioned statutes. Increasing the maximum size of detached and attached Accessory Dwelling Units will impact the aesthetics of the neighborhood because of the potential for over-building the properties and thus invading the privacy of the neighbors.
On June 14, 2022, Resolution No. 2022-019 recommending denial of Development Code Amendment 22-03 was unanimously ratified by the Planning Commission (Attachment 2).
Given the City Council’s direction to process this Development Code Amendment, staff is presenting this item for approval.

Discussion
Packet Pg. 216
Under proposed Development Code Amendment 22-03, Section 19.04.030(2)(P)(6)(a)(i) (Specific ADU Requirements) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code will be amended to read, as follows:
“a. Maximum Size.
i. The maximum size of a detached or attached ADU subject to this subsection (6) is 1,200 850 square feet for a studio or onebedroom unit and 1,000 square feet for a unit with two or more bedrooms.”
General Plan Goals and Policies
The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes goals and policies to guide future Accessory Dwelling Units, as follow:
Land Use Goal 2.1: Preserve and enhance San Bernardino’s unique Neighborhoods.
Land Use Element Policy 2.1.1: Actively enforce development standards, design guidelines, and policies to preserve and enhance the character of San Bernardino’s neighborhoods.
San Bernardino contains a wide range of neighborhoods accommodating an assortment of lifestyles: from the urban downtown multiple-family dwellings, to student housing, to new and older suburban enclaves, to hillside and golf course estates, to rural estates.
Each neighborhood has, or can have, its own unique character that is a source of pride for the residents. Neighborhood character is defined by many factors: what the neighborhood looks like, what it feels like, how well it is maintained, etc. But more importantly, it is an image in the minds of those who live and work there and in the perceptions of those who visit. Some neighborhoods in San Bernardino are a source of pride for residents, as reflected by the quality of their homes, the diversity of their residents, the beauty of their streetscapes, and the availability of and access to, open space and recreation opportunities. Other neighborhoods are in need of assistance to help maintain, upgrade, and improve safety and aesthetics. One thing for certain in the vision for San Bernardino is that there is a strong desire to maintain, enhance, and improve the various neighborhoods in the community.
The adoption and implementation of Development Code Amendment 22-03 is consistent with the City’s General Plan by allowing for the development of detached and attached Accessory Dwelling Units within the residential zones in a manner that will prevent negative impacts to the existing residential neighborhoods and the community at-large.
While at the same time, as regulated by Development Code Amendment 22-03, new Accessory Dwelling Units will serve the City’s housing needs in compliance with California Government Code § 65852.2 and § 65852.22.
2020-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
Development Code Amendment 22-03 aligns with Key Target No. 4: Economic Growth and Development, under 4(b): Update the General Plan and Development Code.
Packet Pg. 217
Specifically, the amendment to the Development Code for Accessory Dwelling Units proposed under Development Code Amendment 22-03 will ensure that the City’s Development Code is consistent with State law.
Fiscal Impact
There will be no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund as a result of this action.
California Environmental Quality Act
The Planning Division conducted an environmental evaluation in connection with proposed Development Code Amendment 22-03 and concluded that it is exempt from CEQA under Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15282(h). Moreover, this Ordinance is exempt from further environmental review under CEQA pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Section 15060(c)(1), as it implements provisions of Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22, which require ministerial review and approval of accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units, and, therefore, does not involve the exercise of discretionary powers by the City.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council:
1) Introduce, read by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. MC-1591 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approving Development Code Amendment 22-03 amending Section 19.04.030(2)(P)(6)(a)(i) (Specific ADU Requirements) of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code (Title 19) to increase the maximum size of a detached or attached Accessory Dwelling Unit from 1,000 square feet to 1,200 square feet; and finding the Ordinance is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (Attachment 1) (Attachment 1); and

PUBLIC HEARING
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: August 3, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Nathan Freeman, Agency Director of Community, Housing, and Economic Development
Department: Community & Economic Development (CED)
Subject: Development Code Amendment 22-04 (Alcoholic Beverage Sales Locational Restrictions) (All Wards)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1) Introduce, read by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. MC1592 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approving Development Code Amendment 22-04 amending Section
19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section III(A)-(I) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) and Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section VI(D)-(E) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Permit Application) of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code (Title 19) to increase the locational restriction from 500 feet to 1,000 feet for new alcoholic beverage sales activities from sensitive land uses; and finding the Ordinance is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (Attachment 1); and
2) Schedule the adoption of the above Ordinance for the regularly scheduled meeting of the Mayor and City Council on August 17, 2022.
Background
An application for a convenience store with an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) offsale license requires the approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission. Additionally, the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has established license concentration standards allowing for a maximum of ABC Packet Pg. 235
off-sale licenses within the census tracts. If a new ABC off-sale license will cause the subject census tract to become over concentrated with ABC off-sale licenses, the Conditional Use Permit also requires a Public Convenience or Necessity Letter application for consideration by the Planning Commission.
The Police Department reviews all Conditional Use Permit ABC off-sale license applications and conducts an investigation based upon the information provided to report alcohol related and other crimes that have been reported during the previous calendar year within half-mile of the subject reporting district. The Police Department also provides appropriate recommended Conditions of Approval to ensure that the sale of alcohol will not be detrimental to the surrounding area.
With the continued increase in the number of convenience store applications there has also been an increase in the number of requested ABC Type-20 (Off-Sale: Beer and Wine) and ABC Type-21 (Off-Sale: General – Beer, Wine and Distilled Spirits) Licenses. There has also been an increase in the number of census tracts with over concentrations. The over concentration of ABC off-sale licenses creates the potential for impairing the integrity and character of commercial corridors and may be detrimental to sensitive land uses within the vicinity, such as schools, parks and places of worship.
On April 12, 2022, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2022-020 forwarding a recommendation to the Mayor and City Council recommending approval of Development Code Amendment 22-04 (Attachment 2).

Discussion
Under proposed Development Code Amendment 22-04, Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section III(A)-(I) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code will be amended to read, as follows:
“(A) Unless otherwise exempted under subsections B – H, a new alcoholic beverage sales activity is not permitted within 1,000 500 feet of any of the following locations:
1. A public or private state licensed or accredited school.
2. A public park, playground, recreational area, or youth facility, including a nursery school, preschool, or day-care facility.
3. A place of worship or religious institution.
4. A hospital.
Packet Pg. 236
5. An alcohol or other drug abuse recovery or treatment facility.
6. A county social service office.
(B) Establishments containing 10,000 square feet or more, including but not limited to supermarkets and drugstores, which do not sell alcoholic beverages as the principal business are exempt from the locational restrictions.
(C) Sit down restaurants whose predominant function is the service of food and where the on-site sale of alcoholic beverages is incidental or secondary are exempt from these locational restrictions. An incidental bar or lounge shall be allowed for the convenience of dining patrons. (Establishments which are primarily a bar or lounge or have a bar or lounge area as a principal or independent activity are not included in this exemption.)
(D) All other establishments for on-site consumption of alcohol may be exempted from the locational restrictions, subject to evaluation of site-specific conditions through the Conditional Use Permit review process and considering recommendations from the Police Department.
(E) Specialty retail establishments that offer unique product lines or variety of selection warranting a finding of public convenience or necessity are exempt from the locational restrictions.
(F) An automobile service station convenience store that meets the location criteria of Section 19.06.030(2)(T) may be exempted from these locational restrictions, subject to evaluation of site-specific conditions through the Conditional Use Permit review process and considering recommendations from the Police Department. (G) A fraternal organization or veterans club may be exempted from the locational restrictions, subject to evaluation of site-specific conditions through the Conditional Use Permit review process and considering recommendations from the Police Department.
(H) Temporary uses issued a Temporary License by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and established in compliance with all City laws and regulations are exempt from the locational restrictions.
(I) The following location conditions will be considered in the review of Conditional Use Permit applications, and may be grounds for denial Packet Pg. 237
based on potential adverse effects to the public interest, health, safety or convenience:
a. A location within a crime reporting district, or within 1,000 500 feet of a crime reporting district, where the general crime rate exceeds the city-wide general crime rate by more than 20 percent.
b. A location where the new alcoholic beverage sales activity would be within 1,000 500 feet from an existing alcoholic beverage sales activity, or would lead to the grouping of more than four alcoholic beverage sales activities within a 1,000 foot radius from the new alcoholic beverage sales activity.” Under proposed Development Code Amendment 22-04, Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section VI(D)-(E) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Permit Application) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code will also be amended to read, as follows:
“(D) The name, address, and telephone number, if available, of all existing schools, parks, playgrounds or recreational areas, nonprofit youth facilities, places of worship, hospitals, alcohol or other drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities or county social service offices within 1,000 500 feet of the proposed alcoholic beverage sales activity establishment.
(E) The name, address, and telephone number, if available, of all alcoholic beverage sale activities within 1,000 500 feet of the proposed alcoholic beverage sales activity establishment and within a 1,000 foot radius from the proposed alcoholic
beverage sales activity establishment.”
General Plan Goals and Policies
The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes goals and policies to guide future Accessory Dwelling Units, as follow:
Land Use Goal 2.1: Preserve and enhance San Bernardino’s unique Neighborhoods.
Land Use Element Policy 2.1.1: Actively enforce development standards, design guidelines, and policies to preserve and enhance the character of San Bernardino’s neighborhoods.
Land Use Element Policy 2.2.8: Control the location and number of community-sensitive uses, such as alcohol sales, adult bookstores and businesses, game arcades, and similar uses based on proximity to residences, schools, religious facilities, and parks.
Packet Pg. 238
Land Use Element Policy 2.2.9: Require Police Department review of uses that may be characterized by high levels of noise, nighttime patronage, and/or rates of crime; providing for the conditioning or control of use to prevent adverse impacts on adjacent residences, schools, religious facilities, and similar “sensitive” uses.
The adoption and implementation of Development Code Amendment 22-04 is consistent with the City’s General Plan by regulating the location of alcoholic beverage sales activities in order to prevent potential negative impacts to the existing sensitive land uses and the community at-large and by minimizing the overconcentration of alcoholic beverage sales activities. The Police Department will continue to review applications for new alcoholic beverage sales to investigate crimes within a half-mile of the respective reporting district.
2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
Development Code Amendment 22-04 aligns with Key Target No. 4: Economic Growth and Development, under No. 4(b): Update the General Plan and Development Code.
Specifically, the amendment to the Development Code for location regulations of alcoholic beverage sales activities proposed under Development Code Amendment 22-04 will preserve the integrity of commercial corridors, residential neighborhoods and sensitive land uses within the City.
Fiscal Impact
There will be no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund as a result of this action.
California Environmental Quality Act
The Planning Division conducted an environmental evaluation in connection with proposed Development Code Amendment 22-04 and concluded that it is exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) of the CEQA Guidelines due to the fact that the proposed Development Code Amendment will not create significant effects on the environment as it increases the locational restriction from 500 feet to 1,000 feet for a new alcoholic beverage sales activity from sensitive land uses.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1) Introduce, read by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. MC1592 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approving Development Code Amendment 22-04 amending Section
19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section III(A)-(I) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) and Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section VI(D)-(E) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Permit Application) of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code (Title 19) to increase the locational restriction from 500 feet to 1,000 feet for new alcoholic beverage sales activities from sensitive land uses; and finding the Packet Pg. 239
Ordinance is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (Attachment 1); and

Additionally, the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has established license concentration standards allowing for a maximum of ABC off-sale licenses within the census tracts. If a new ABC off-sale license will cause the subject census tract to become over concentrated with ABC off-sale licenses, the Conditional Use Permit also requires a Public Convenience or Necessity Letter application for consideration by the Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, with the continued increase in the number of convenience store applications there has also been an increase in the number of requested ABC Type-20 (Off-Sale: Beer and Wine) and ABC Type-21 (Off-Sale: General – Beer, Wine and Distilled Spirits) Licenses.

2 WHEREAS, pursuant to requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the Planning Division of the Community and Economic Development Department evaluated Development Code Amendment 22-04 and determined that it is not a project within the meaning of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, and alternatively is exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) of the CEQA Guidelines; and WHEREAS, on April 12, 2022, the Planning Commission of the City of San Bernardino held a duly noticed public hearing to consider public testimony and the staff report, and adopted Resolution 2022-030 forwarding a recommendation of approval of Development Code Amendment 22-04 to the Mayor and City Council; and
WHEREAS, notice of the August 3, 2022 public hearing for the Mayor and City Council's consideration of this proposed Ordinance was published in The Sun newspaper on July 23, 2022 in accordance with Development Code Chapter 19.52; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the requirements of Chapters 19.52 (Hearing and Appeals) and Chapter 19.42 (Development Code Amendments) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code, the Mayor and City Council have the authority to take action on Ordinance No. MC-____.
NOW THEREFORE, THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Based upon the facts and information contained in the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence presented to the Mayor and City Council, the Mayor and City Council hereby finds, as follows:
(1) The administrative record has been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines;
(2) Development Code Amendment 22-04 is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. Development Code Amendment 22-04 does not authorize any specific development within the City’s boundaries. Development Code Amendment 22-04 is exempt from CEQA because the adoption of the Development Code Amendment is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3)). The Development Code Amendment to increase of the locational restriction from 500 feet to 1,000 feet for a new alcoholic beverage sales activity from sensitive land uses is exempt from the requirements of CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) of the CEQA Guidelines due to the fact that the Development Code Amendment will not create significant Packet Pg. 242
ORDINANCE NO. MC-1592
3 effects on the environment as it consists of updates to the alcoholic beverage sales requirements; and

The adoption and implementation of Development Code Amendment 22- 04 is consistent with the City’s General Plan by regulating the location of alcoholic beverage sales activities in order to prevent potential negative impacts to the existing sensitive land uses and the community at-large and by minimizing the overconcentration of alcoholic beverage sales activities.

Procedures for Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Program.
On May 15, 2019, the Mayor and City Council adopted Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan which changed the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program from CDBG to HOME funds in the amount $450,000.
On July 24, 2020, NPHS entered into an Agreement with the City to utilize $450,000 in HOME funds to make loans for city eligible households for OORP projects.
Discussion
NPHS requires additional time to expend HOME funds and has requested a modified date to the term of the agreement. NPHS uses HOME funding to rehabilitate single family residences for low-income households. Although the Master Agreement was signed on July 24, 2020, and NPHS had until June 30, 2022, to fully expend the funds, the organization experienced a series of setbacks related to COVID-19. Currently, there are two (2) single family residences that have been identified for rehabilitation. The income earners for each household are actively engaged in the approval process. If NPHS is unable to have the term of the agreement extended, the two (2) single family residences are at risk of not having their property restored, remodeled, or improved.
The OORP was created to meet the five-year goal of preserving and rehabilitating housing units as adopted in the City’s FY 2020-2025 HUD Consolidated Plan.
NPHS desires to amend its OORP Agreement with the City, which would extend the term of the Agreement, thereby allowing additional time for NPHS to expend funds. The term of the OORP Agreement will be extended until June 30, 2023. NPHS will continue to provide financial assistance to eligible households within the City of San Bernardino seeking to perform rehabilitation to their single-family residences.
OORP is currently funded with HOME funds in the amount of $450,000 and provides income-eligible households with loans up to $40,000 for home improvements to their single-family residences. Such improvements include paint, plumbing, roofing, landscaping, ADA improvements, and energy efficiency upgrades. The loan is for a term of ten (10) years at zero interest and is forgiven by 20% beginning in year 6 and through year ten (10), at which time the entire balance is forgiven. OORP is currently administered by Neighborhood Partnership Housing Services, which has provided assistance to six (6) households throughout the City of San Bernardino. 2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
