Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 vi Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides an assessment of public service delivery capabilities of the City of San Bernardino and other agencies or special districts affected by the proposed Spring Trails Annexation to the City of San Bernardino. The City of San Bernardino is surrounded by the cities of Highland, Redlands, Colton and Rialto. This report is being submitted to the County of San Bernardino Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) as a “Plan for Service” required by California Government Code Section 56653. Currently, the County of San Bernardino provides many services to the annexation area including fire and paramedic services, general government, development services, sheriff patrol, public library, regional parks and recreation, street lighting, transportation, flood control and drainage, and health and welfare. Public schools are provided by the San Bernardino Unified School District. After annexation, the City of San Bernardino is anticipated to provide services including general government, community development, police protection, local parks and recreation, community services and public works’ services. The City of San Bernardino has annexed into the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCFPD) and its Service Zone FP-5 for fire protection and emergency medical response services. Since the Spring Trails annexation area is already within SBCFPD and Service Zone FP-5, the SBCFPD will continue to be the service provider for fire protection and emergency medical services. The County of San Bernardino will continue to provide other services such as regional parks and recreation, regional flood control and drainage and health and welfare. The proposed annexation area includes the Spring Trail Specific Plan, a proposed residential community in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. The preferred plan accommodates 215 new single-family lots ranging from 10,801 square feet to 18 acres. The development footprint encompasses about two thirds of the total site, on gently sloping alluvial benches between canyons, steep hillsides, and the Cable Canyon and Meyers Canyon drainage ways. The remaining one third of the site remains open space. There are 3.8 miles of trails that traverse the site and provide access to parks and natural open space.
Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 vii Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis Fiscal Impacts Based on an analysis of current service delivery capabilities, the City is equipped to handle additional demand from the proposed annexation of the 215 new homes planned for Spring Trails. One or more community facilities district(s) will be formed to pay for the cost of certain offsite public facilities necessary for the development of the Project, including roads and traffic improvements, parks and open space improvements, flood control and drainage systems, water and sewer systems, and utilities. A capital improvement plan, and rate and method of apportionment will be prepared which will outline the facilities cost, rates, and manner of collection. The onsite streets, landscaping, lighting, community walls, community fences, open space, detention basins, and drainage systems will be maintained by the Homeowners Association (HOA). However, a Community Facilities District (CFD) will be approved as a backup to the HOA, in case the HOA is does not adequately maintain these facilities. The offsite roads, drainage systems, lighting, and utilities will be maintained by the City. The San Bernardino Municipal Water Department will maintain the onsite and offsite water and sewer systems. This report explains the transfer of service requirements upon annexation, estimates development impact fees and other cost responsibilities. General Fund. As shown in Table 1, projected recurring fiscal impacts to the City General Fund for the Spring Trails Annexation is shown to generate a surplus for all phases. At buildout a recurring annual surplus of $37,705 is projected to the General Fund. Projected surpluses to the General Fund for Year 1 through Year 4 range from $827 for Year 1 to $37,705 for Year 4. The projected surpluses for all years assume revenues from the recently adopted CFD 2018-1 tax for safety services family unit. Other Funds. Projected recurring revenues for the Gas Tax Fund and Measure I Fund that are earmarked for street and road related expenditures are presented in Table 2. Gas Tax Fund. As shown in Panel A of Table 2, projected recurring gasoline revenues to the City are projected. The projected revenues range from $67 for Year 1 to $16,112 at buildout. Measure I Fund. Projected recurring Measure I sales tax revenues to the City are projected to range from $88 for Year 1 to $5,949 at buildout, as shown in Panel B of Table 2.

Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 1 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The Spring Trails Annexation area is on the northern edge of the City of San Bernardino in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains, as shown in Figure 1.1. The site is approximately 1.5 miles east of the unincorporated community of Devore and the junction of Interstate 215 (I-215) and I-15. The Spring Trails Annexation area is bounded by the San Bernardino National Forest on three sides and the City of San Bernardino on the southern side. 1.1 Purpose of the Study The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) of the County of San Bernardino requires a jurisdiction to submit a Plan for Service and Fiscal Impact Analysis when the jurisdiction is affected by a proposed change in boundaries, formation, or organization. The proposed project intends to annex into the City of San Bernardino, which requires the City to show that the necessary infrastructure improvements and services can be provided to the proposed development. Per the application form in the LAFCO Policy and Procedure Manual, Updated September 2018, the Plan for Service must include the following components: a. A description of the level and range of each service to be provided to the affected territory. b. An indication of when those services can feasibly be extended to the affected territory. c. An identification of any improvement or upgrading of structures, roads, water or sewer facilities, other infrastructure, or other conditions the affected agency would impose upon the affected territory. d. The Plan shall include a Fiscal Impact Analysis which shows the estimated cost of extending the service and a description of how the service or required improvements will be financed. The Fiscal Impact Analysis shall provide, at a minimum, a five (5)-year projection of revenues and expenditures. A narrative discussion of the sufficiency of revenues for anticipated service extensions and operations is required. e. An indication of whether the affected territory is, or will be, proposed for inclusion within an existing or proposed improvement zone/district, redevelopment area, assessment district, or community facilities district. f. If retail water service is to be provided through this change of organization, provide a description of the timely availability of water for projected needs within the area based upon the factors identified in Government Code Section 65352.5 (as required by Government Code Section 56668(k)).

1.2 Overview of the City of San Bernardino The City of San Bernardino is the county seat of San Bernardino County, occupying 62.5 square miles and is an anchor city for the Inland Empire. The 2023 city population is estimated at 223,230. Residents have access to more than 40 parks and fields, including premier athletic facilities, 7 community centers, a year-round aquatics center, a public library system, two higher education institutions, and 73 K-12 public schools. Major employers in the city include the County of San Bernardino, San Bernardino City Unified School District, California State University, the City of San Bernardino, Saint Bernardino Medical Center, the Community Hospital of San Bernardino, Caltrans, Stater Bros. Markets, Wells Fargo and Omnitrans. The city has been a major transit hub for over 100 years with the Interstate 10 and 215, the 210 and 259 Freeways, and the Metrolink commuter rail service. San Bernardino is a charter city, which means that the city has supreme authority over its municipal affairs, rather than being bound by the state’s general law if the City were a general law city. The City operates under a City Council-City Manager form of government. The Mayor and the seven-seat City Council are elected positions. Under the supervision of the City Council, the City Manager is the Chief Administrative Officer and directs most of the City Departments, other than the City Attorney and City Clerk, who report directly to the City Council, and the Municipal Water Department and the Library, which are governed by the Water Board and the Library Board of Trustees, respectively. 1.3 Organization of the Report Chapter 2 contains the description of the annexation area and the proposed development. The analysis of existing public service delivery in the annexation area and upon annexation into the City is presented in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 discusses the development impact fees and charges for infrastructure associated with the proposed annexation. The fiscal impact analysis of the annual operations and maintenance costs for the provision of services to the annexation area is provided in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 covers the revenue and cost assumptions used for the fiscal analysis. Appendix A includes the detailed infrastructure description for the Annexation. Supporting tables for the fiscal assumptions appear in Appendix B. Appendix C lists the project contacts and references used in the preparation of this study.

Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 4 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis CHAPTER 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION This chapter presents the detailed land uses for the Spring Trails Annexation. Information includes housing units, population, assessed valuation and taxable sales. The total Spring Trails Annexation includes one existing unit and the proposed Spring Trails Specific Plan 215 new units. As shown in Figure 2-1, the Spring Trails Annexation is in Verdemont Heights, approximately one-third mile northwest of the intersection of Meyers Road and Little League Drive. Primary access is from a new roadway connecting to Little League Drive and a secondary roadway via a new road extending south and connecting to the frontage road along I-215. Freeway access is from the Palm Avenue interchange and the Glen Helen Parkway/Devore Road interchange. 2.1 Residential Development As shown in Panel A of Table 2-1, there is one existing residential unit located on the Spring Trails site. With the 215 lots proposed for the Spring Trails site, total lots for the Annexation after buildout are 216. Based on the January 1, 2023 Citywide average estimate of 3.34 persons per unit from the Department of Finance, total population for the Annexation is projected at 750 after buildout, as shown in Panel B of Table 2-1. 2.2 Infrastructure One or more community facilities district(s) will be formed to pay for the cost of certain offsite public facilities necessary for the development of the Project, including roads and traffic improvements, parks and open space improvements, flood control and drainage systems, water and sewer systems, and utilities. A capital improvement plan, and rate and method of apportionment will be prepared which will outline the facilities cost, rates, and manner of collection. Table 2-2 presents only the Spring Trails project infrastructure that is publicly maintained through the City General Fund and other City Funds or Departments. The total publicly and Stanley R.

All water and sewer infrastructure will be operated and maintained by the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department. As shown in Panel A and Panel B of Table 2-2, only the proposed offsite streets of 3.65 lane miles and the 5,695 lineal feet of offsite drains will be publicly maintained by the City. Sewer mains will be publicly maintained by the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department and are estimated at 28,353 lineal feet after buildout of the project. The onsite streets, landscaping, lighting, community walls and fences, open space, detention basins, and drainage systems will be maintained by the Homeowners Association. 2.3 Assessed Valuation and Property Tax Assessed valuation for the total Spring Trails Annexation after buildout is projected at about $167.75 million, as shown in Panel B of Table 2-3. The current assessed valuation of about $2.50 million is estimated for Year 1. Existing assessed valuation is based on the County Assessor’s 2023 tax roll value, as shown in Table 2-4. New residential valuation for the proposed Spring Trails Specific Plan is based on residential pricing provided by the project developer. The following summarizes the average values per unit by Phase provided by the project applicant based on information from Land Advisors, Inc.: • Phase 1 $750,000 per unit • Phase 2 $760,000 per unit • Phase 3 $770,000 per unit • Phase 4 $780,000 per unit Projected Property Tax As shown in Panel C of Table 2-3, the City General Fund will not receive property tax for the assessed valuation of the annexation area. The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCFPD) is now providing fire protection to the City. Based on the service agreement between the two jurisdictions, the property tax that would usually accrue to the City will remain with the SBCFPD and no property tax from other County funds and districts will be allocated to the City. Projected Property Tax in Lieu VLF The City General Fund will receive property tax in lieu of vehicle license fees (VLF) based on the increase in assessed valuation in the City.

1. Phasing and valuation for the Spring Trails Specific Plan are provided by the applicant, J. P. Weber Group. The applicant's valuation is estimated based on information from Land Advisors Inc. of Irvine, California.2. Current assessed valuation is based on the 2023 tax roll values.3. The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCFPD) provides fire protection to the City. Based on an agreement between the City and the SBCFPD, the City will not receive any allocation of the basic one percent property tax levy upon annexation of the Spring Trails project.4. Property tax in lieu of vehicle license fees (VLF) is projected based on the increase in assessed valuation in a jurisdiction. Per State law, when an annexation occurs the existing valuation in the annexing area cannot be used in adjusting the amount of assessed valuation in the annexing City. Therefore, the current valuation of $2,496,189 is not included in the projection of property tax in lieu of VLF.5. Based on the agreement between the SBCFPD and the City, the City will receive 73.5 percent of the projected property tax in lieu of VLF and the remaining 26.5 percent of the property tax in lieu of VLF will go to the SBCFPD.

The City will receive property tax in-lieu of VLF based on the change in its gross assessed valuation of taxable property for new development in the annexed area. As shown in Appendix Table B-5, the property tax in lieu of VLF in the City is projected to increase at $1,270 per million dollars of new assessed valuation (AV). However, based on the service agreement between the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCFPD) and the City, the City will receive 73.5 percent of the projected property tax in lieu of VLF and the remaining 26.5 percent will go to the SBCFPD. As shown in Panel D of Table 2-3, no property tax in lieu VLF is projected for existing valuation in Year 1 per State law. By Year 2 property tax in lieu VLF is projected at $27,623 and 73.5 percent or $20,303 goes to the City. Total property tax in lieu VLF increases to $75,883 by Year 3, with $55,774 going to the City. By Year 4, total property tax in lieu VLF is projected at $132,601 and the amount for the City is projected at $97,462. After buildout (Year 5) of the Spring Trails project total property tax in lieu VLF is projected at $209,868, with 73.5 percent of this amount, or $154,253, projected for the City. 2.4 Sales and Use Tax Sales and use tax is projected for the retail taxable sales that will be captured in the City from offsite purchases made by the future residents of the Spring Trails Specific Plan.

San Bernardino County, Office of the Assessor, Property Information System, 2023 Roll Values Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 10 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis analysis assumes that the residents of the existing home on the Spring Trails site are already making purchases in the City. Therefore, no offsite sales and use tax is projected for the existing unit. Offsite retail sales and use tax from taxable purchases made by future Spring Trails Specific Plan residents is projected based on the resident’s estimated household income and estimated taxable retail purchases made in the City. Household income is estimated at 28 percent of average housing value based on a mortgage cost analysis by Stanley R. Hoffman Associates. Based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic, Consumer Expenditure Survey, the fiscal analysis estimates the Spring Trails’ residents will generate total taxable retail purchases at about 33 percent of household income. Sales and Use Tax As shown in Table 2-5, estimated annual offsite retail sales and use tax from taxable purchases made by future Spring Trails Specific Plan residents are projected at $62,332 after buildout. This estimate is based on total household income projected at about $48.97 million after buildout (28 percent of residential valuation of about $167.75 million). At 33 percent of household income, the projected retail taxable purchases made by Spring Trails’ residents are projected at about $15.5 million after buildout. The fiscal analysis assumes that 35 percent of the retail taxable purchases, or about $5.42 million, will be made annually in the City at buildout. At one percent of the estimated captured taxable sales of about $5.42 million, sales tax is projected at $54,249 after buildout. At the City average use tax rate of 14.9 percent of sales tax, an additional $8,083 of use tax is projected after buildout. Total sales and use tax captured in the City by the future residents of Spring Trails is projected at $62,332 after buildout. Based on the projected residential valuation for each Phase, the offsite sales and use tax from future residents is projected to increase from $9,009 in Year 2 to $62,332 by Year 5.

Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 12 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis CHAPTER 3 PUBLIC FACILITIES BEFORE AND AFTER ANNEXATION This chapter describes the existing and anticipated future service providers for the proposed Spring Trails Annexation project area. The level and range of the services for the annexation area are described, if they are known. The following services are detailed in this chapter: • General Government • Fire and Paramedic • County Sheriff and Public Safety • Library • Parks and Recreation • Animal Control • Street Lighting • Landscape Maintenance • Water • Sewer • Transportation • Flood Control and Drainage • Utilities • Schools • Solid Waste Management • Health and Welfare Table 3-1 presents current and anticipated service providers in the Spring Trails annexation area. In many cases, such as general government, community development, economic development, and sheriff/police, among others, responsibilities shift from the County of San Bernardino to the City of San Bernardino. The City of San Bernardino has annexed into the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCFPD) and its Service Zone FP-5 for fire protection and emergency medical response services. Since the annexation area is already within SBCFPD and Service Zone FP-5, the SBCFPD will continue to be the service provider for fire protection and emergency medical services upon annexation. Other services, like water, sewer, and utilities, remain unchanged before and after annexation. These changes are detailed in subsequent sections of this chapter.

Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 14 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis which include administrative services as well as General Governance, Community Development and Economic Development. 3.2 Fire and Paramedic Before Annexation Currently, the annexation area is in a State Responsibility Area (SRA), where CAL FIRE is responsible for fire and emergency response services. The area is also serviced by San Bernardino County Fire Station Number 2 (Devore Station). The proposed project is also located within the recently expanded boundary of the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCFPD), Service Zone FP-5 which is a special tax zone for funding fire protection and EMS. The current annual special tax for property in Service Zone FP-5 is estimated at $157.26 per parcel. The tax includes an annual inflationary factor up to a maximum of 3 percent. No water facilities are available to serve fire protection in the project area. After Annexation The City of San Bernardino has annexed their fire protection services to the SBCFPD. Therefore, the SBCFPD, Service Zone FP-5 will be the service provider for fire prevention, fire protection and emergency medical services (EMS) after annexation. Most of the existing City fire stations and equipment are transferred to the SBCFPD; with existing Station 232 (City), located at 6065 Palm Avenue, being the closest (approximately 1 mile) to the Spring Trails project site, as shown in Figure 3-1. Water facilities for fire protection will be owned and operated by the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department. All water facilities, hydrants, and water systems for fire protection in the area shall meet the water flow demands and be installed prior to development. All previous agreed upon egress for the project site that has been approved in the Environmental Impact Report shall be in place prior to construction. This includes the primary and secondary egress outlets. 3.3 Sheriff/Police Before Annexation The San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner’s Department provides public safety services to the unincorporated areas. The County Sheriff operates from an office in the City of San Bernardino Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc.

Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 16 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis at 655 East Third Street. The Sheriff’s Department and the City Police Department provide mutual backup services upon request within both the City and unincorporated areas. The California Highway Patrol in San Bernardino provides traffic patrol on State Highways within the unincorporated areas of the County. The Highway Patrol can also provide emergency response backup to the City Police and the County Sheriff upon request. After Annexation After the annexation, the City of San Bernardino Police Department will be providing the public safety services for Spring Trails and the rest of the annexed area. The area is served by a main police station, located at 710 North D Street, and four designated geographical patrol districts (Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast). The project site belongs to patrol beat B1 in the Northwest Patrol District, as shown in Figure 3-2. The San Bernardino Police Department maintains a ratio of approximately one sworn officer for every 1,000 residents. The City Police Department operates under a mutual aid agreement with police agencies in the surrounding cities that allows use of up to fifty percent of adjacent agency resources upon request and for automatic response within zones of mutual aid. The California Highway Patrol in San Bernardino will continue to provide traffic patrol on State Highways within the unincorporated areas. 3.4 Library Before Annexation Currently, the existing household within the annexation area is served by the San Bernardino County Library system. However, the nearest County library, the Carter Branch Library is located at 2630 North Linden Drive in Rialto, and is a driving distance of about 12.2 miles away from the annexation area. After Annexation The Howard M. Rowe Branch Library facility is a branch of the San Bernardino City Library system. Located at 108 East Marshall Boulevard in the City of San Bernardino, this branch is closest to the Spring Trails project site, with a driving distance of about 9.6 miles. The annexation area would continue to receive library services from the City of San Bernardino Branch library upon annexation.

Hoffman Associates, Inc. City of San Bernardino, Police Department 3.5 Parks and Recreation Before Annexation The County Regional Parks Department provides regional park services to all residents within the County, including unincorporated areas. The County Regional Parks system includes the following parks: Glen Helen, Yucaipa, Lake Gregory, Cucamonga, Guasti, and Prado. The closest regional park is Glen Helen Regional Park which has various recreation areas with amenities for fishing, boating, and picnicking. However, the County does not provide local park services, and, currently, there are no local parks within the annexation area.
PROJECT SITE Site
Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 18 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis After Annexation The City of San Bernardino General Plan indicates that there are a total of 52 developed parks and recreational facilities in the City. There are a variety of different types of parks, including: 19 neighborhood, 10 community, 17 mini-parks, 3 regional parks, and 3 special facilities. The parks contain a broad range of facilities; including children’s play equipment, tennis and volleyball courts, and athletic fields. The special facilities include community buildings and senior centers. Al Guhin Park, located at 3650 Little League Drive, is the closest City park to the annexation area (approximately 1.3 miles). The Spring Trails Specific Plan provides open spaces that are meant to function as recreational opportunities, buffers, visual landmarks and interconnecting trails. The facilities will consist of community trails, equestrian/pedestrian trails and hiking trails. The proposed parks include two dual-use neighborhood parks (meaning that the parks also serve as water detention basins), a dog park and a thematic garden park with amenities, as shown in Figure 3-3. Per Chapter 19.30 of the City of San Bernardino Subdivision Regulations, the City requires five acres of park and recreational land per 1,000 residents. The Spring Trails development plans to develop and reserve public parks, private parks, natural open space, and homeowner maintained open space, exceeding the City’s requirements. Two neighborhood parks are planned for Spring Trails, which would total 7.0 acres; they would also serve as water detention basins. However, parks and open space will be maintained by the Spring Trails Homeowner Association (HOA). 3.6 Animal Control Before Annexation Currently, the annexation area is serviced by the City of San Bernardino’s Animal Control on a contract basis. Animal Control operates under the San Bernardino Police Department and is responsible for animal licensing, dead animal pickup, loose animal investigations, animal shelter management, and other services. After Annexation The Animal Control Division of the San Bernardino Police Department will continue to provide services to the area after annexation.

3.7 Street Lighting Before Annexation Street lighting is a service provided to the area by Southern California Edison. However, the street lighting only extends to the southern border at Meyers Road, and no street lighting exists within the annexation area. After Annexation Upon annexation, street lighting within the project is maintained by a HOA. Outside the project area, on public right of ways, the City of San Bernardino Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance provided by Southern California Edison. 3.8 Landscape Maintenance Before Annexation San Bernardino County provides road pavement and minimal landscaping maintenance. After Annexation Upon annexation and development, significant landscaping amenities will be added to the Spring Trails annexation area. Maintenance within the Specific Plan Area would be managed by the homeowners association (HOA). Figure 3-4 shows the landscape zones as presented in the Spring Trails Specific Plan. 3.9 Water Before Annexation Currently, public water facilities do not serve the proposed Spring Trail project. After Annexation Upon annexation, the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (SBMWD) would provide water services to Spring Trails and currently provides service to pressure zones ranging from 1,249 feet to 2,300 feet. Spring Trails lies between the 2,300 to 3,000-foot pressure zones. The nearest existing reservoir is the Meyers Canyon Reservoir, which is within the 2,100-foot pressure zone, but is not adequate for buildout of Spring Trails or Verdemont Heights. Therefore, water will be supplied to Spring Trails from lower elevations by a combination of expanding and improving the offsite water system and the provision of onsite reservoirs and transmission lines.1 Figure 3-5 shows the conceptual water plan for Spring Trails. 1 Montecito Equities, Spring Trails Specific Plan, October 2012, p. 3-101 Stanley R.

3.10 Wastewater Collection Before Annexation Sewer service to the project site is currently via septic tanks. After Annexation The Spring Trails project is within the City’s Public Works Department’s sanitary sewer service area. The City’s engineering sewer capacity study concluded that the existing sewer system has the capacity to accommodate the project. Beginning May 2017, operation and maintenance of the City’s wastewater collection system was transferred to the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (SBMWD). As shown in Figure 3-6, Spring Trails would connect to the existing 10-inch sewer line located on Little League Drive, which connects to a major interceptor system to the south and is eventually treated in the San Bernardino Water Reclamation Plant operated by SBMWD. The only offsite improvement that may be required is North Little League Drive, which may be upgraded from an 8” to a 10” line depending upon the ultimate slope as determined in final engineering.2 3.11 Transportation Before Annexation Current transportation services for the annexation area include freeways and interchanges serviced by Caltrans; arterials and collectors serviced by the County Public Works Department; local roads also serviced by the Public Works Department of San Bernardino County; and public transit serviced by Omnitrans. The closest Omnitrans bus stop to the annexation area is at Kendall Drive and Palm Avenue with a driving distance of about 2.2 miles. After Annexation Caltrans and Omnitrans will continue to provide their services post annexation for arterials, collectors and public transit. All onsite street local roads will be maintained by a homeowners association. The developer will be responsible for improvements of all necessary public streets, both onsite and offsite, as shown in Figure 3-7. Upon annexation, the City becomes responsible for the regional transportation fee associated with the proposed project, which is included in the estimated City fees for the project in Chapter 4, Table 4-2. 2 Montecito Equities, Spring Trails Specific Plan, October 2012, p. 3-112 Stanley R.

3.12 Flood Control and Drainage Before Annexation The drainage area to which Spring Trails belongs flows into Cable Canyon, then into Cable Creek, then into Devil Creek Diversion Channel, then into Lytle Creek Wash and eventually into the Santa Ana River. Currently, there are no local flood control or drainage facilities in the annexation area. On a regional level, the San Bernardino County Flood Control District intercepts and manages flood flows through and away from developed areas throughout the County. The District is also responsible for water conservation and storm drain construction. After Annexation Upon annexation, flood control and drainage systems would be constructed by the developer and onsite flows would be managed and maintained by the HOA. The Spring Trails Specific Plan includes drainage improvements that collect and convey storm flows that would reduce the amount of storm runoff to levels prior to annexation and development, as shown in Figure 3-8. The existing Cable Canyon and Meyers Canyon drainage ways would remain relatively unchanged, except for necessary roadway and infrastructure improvements. Onsite and offsite stormwater flows would be collected and routed using catch basin inlets and storm drain systems that would carry water to three onsite detention basins, which also serve as parks. 3.13 Utilities Before and After Annexation Utilities include cable television, internet, telephone, electric power, and natural gas. Currently, Charter Communications is the cable television and internet service provider. Verizon maintains telephone service to the annexation area. Electricity is provided by Southern California Edison, while natural gas is supplied by the Southern California Gas Company. These service providers are not anticipated to change upon annexation. 3.14 Schools Before and After Annexation Public education in the City of San Bernardino is provided by San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD). SBCUSD is the eighth-largest public school district in California with over 54,379 students enrolled at 44 elementary schools, 10 middle schools, 8 high schools and 3 special education schools. Before the annexation, the SBCUSD served the unincorporated area.

Hoffman Associates, Inc. 3.15 Solid Waste Management Before Annexation The current service provider of solid waste management for the annexation area is the San Bernardino County Department of Public Works’ Solid Waste Management Division, under the contract with Burrtec. The division oversees the operation and management of the County’s solid waste disposal system, which includes five regional landfills and nine transfer stations.
Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 29 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis After Annexation Solid waste collection within the City of San Bernardino and a portion of the unincorporated planning area is provided by Burrtec on a contract basis with the City. 3.16 Public Health and Welfare Before and After Annexation The San Bernardino County Department of Public Health currently serves the City for the general public’s health and welfare services. The department provides a variety of programs and services that informs and educates the public about health issues. The County Department of Public Health additionally provides public assistance welfare and healthcare needs for all residents within San Bernardino County. There are no anticipated changes in service levels or costs after the annexation of the proposed project.
Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 30 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis CHAPTER 4 PAYING FOR PUBLIC FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE 4.1 Spring Trails Facilities and Infrastructure One or more community facilities district(s) will be formed to pay for the cost of certain offsite public facilities necessary for the development of the Project, including roads and traffic improvements, parks and open space improvements, flood control and drainage systems, water and sewer systems, and utilities. A capital improvement plan, and rate and method of apportionment will be prepared which will outline the facilities cost, rates, and manner of collection. Table 4-1 presents the list of infrastructure improvements for the Spring Trails Specific Plan. The majority of the infrastructure will be constructed by the project’s master developer with interior neighborhood walls and fences constructed by merchant builders. Table 4-1 also identifies the jurisdiction, special district or private association responsible for maintenance of each facility and the ownership of each facility. The projected annual fiscal impacts to the City for provision of services to the Spring Trails project are presented in Chapter 5. 4.2 City of San Bernardino Development Impact Fees While the developer is responsible for constructing the facility and infrastructure improvements for the Spring Trails Specific Plan, the developer will also pay one-time development impact fees (DIF) to offset the additional public capital costs required of new development. If the developer constructs any facilities covered by DIFs, the developer will receive credit toward construction costs for an equivalent amount of DIF fees. As shown in Table 4-2, total one-time development impact fees for Spring Trails are estimated at about $7.2 million. Of the total estimated fees, about $4.9 million are estimated for the City and the remaining $2.3 million are estimated for the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department. The estimated City fees include the regional transportation fee that will become the responsibility of the City upon annexation of the project.

4.3 Schools There is a one-time School Impact Fee of $4.31 per square foot for new, single-family residential development in the City of San Bernardino. At an average of 3,200 square feet of living space per new, single-family residential unit, the cost per unit is estimated to be $13,792. With a total of 215 residential units, the estimated school impact fee for the Spring Trails development totals approximately $3.0 million. 4.4 Utilities Cable television, internet, power, and gas utilities are enterprise services, where fees are determined by each company’s rate structure. 4.5 Roads and Drainage The local circulation systems fee is $233 per unit, while the regional circulation systems fee is $2,435 per unit, as shown in Table 4-2. With 215 units, local and regional fees would total $573,607 for the development. 4.6 Water and Sewer The developer is responsible for funding their share of the required water and sewer facilities to include, but not limited to reservoirs, booster stations, and transmission mains. Once the major facilities are complete and conveyed to the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (SBMWD) for operation to serve water to the new pressure zones, the developer is then responsible to construct distribution facilities to provide water and sewer to the proposed housing in the project.
Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 34 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis CHAPTER 5 FISCAL IMPACTS This chapter describes the fiscal analysis of the Spring Trails Specific Plan. Fiscal impacts are first presented to the City of San Bernardino General Fund followed by the projected recurring revenues to the City’s Gas Tax Fund and the City’s Measure I Fund. Fiscal impacts are shown in constant 2018 dollars with no adjustment for possible future inflation. 5.1 City General Fund A recurring surplus of $37,705 is projected to the City General Fund for the Spring Trails Annexation after buildout, as shown in Table 5-1. The projected surplus after buildout is based on recurring revenues of about $493,179 and recurring costs of about $455,474. This projection includes assumed revenues from the recently adopted CFD 2018-1 tax for safety services. The revenue-to-cost ratio is estimated at about 1.08 after buildout. A small surplus of $827 is projected for Year 1, which is planned for onsite grading and offsite infrastructure capital improvements. With completion of new housing units in Year 2 (Phase 1), a surplus of $3,328 is projected. The projected surplus increases to $9,949 for Phase 2 (Year 3) and by Phase 3 (Year 4) a surplus of $20,351 is projected. When the final units are developed in Phase 4 (Year 5), the projected surplus to the General Fund is $37,705.

Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 37 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis CHAPTER 6 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO FISCAL ASSUMPTIONS This Chapter presents the revenue and cost assumptions for projecting the ongoing operations and maintenance costs to the City General Fund and related City Funds for the Spring Trails annexation into the City of San Bernardino. As discussed earlier, the annexation area is currently located in the unincorporated area of San Bernardino County, within the existing sphere of influence of the City of San Bernardino. The general City demographic and economic assumptions used for calculating fiscal factors are first presented. The assumptions for projecting recurring revenues are then presented followed by the assumptions for projecting recurring costs. The fiscal factors are based on discussion with City finance staff and the City’s Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget. 6.1 City General Assumptions Fiscal impacts that are not based on valuation and taxable sales are generally projected based on a per capita, per employee, or per service population basis. Some fiscal impacts are projected based on other factors, such as per unit or per acre, based on the available data. General fund revenue and cost factors are estimated by dividing the FY 2022-23 budget categories by the City’s resident population, employment, total service population, or developed acres where appropriate. Table 6-1 provides the City’s general assumptions for this fiscal analysis. Population As shown in Table 6-1, the State Department of Finance (DOF) estimates the City of San Bernardino’s January 1, 2023, total population at 223,230. The City population estimate is used for projecting certain revenues and costs on a per capita basis, such as State subvened gas taxes. Housing Units DOF estimates 67,593 total housing units for the City of San Bernardino for January 1, 2023. DOF estimates that 64,905 units are occupied. Persons per Household The 2023 average persons per household for the City is estimated at 3.34 persons based on dividing the household population estimate of 216,854 by the 64,905 estimated occupied units.

The total City employment of 112,478 for the year 2023 represents an interpolation of the years 2019 and 2035 from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2024 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), Preliminary Data.

Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 39 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis Service Population Fiscal factors that are impacted by both population and employment growth are estimated by allocating total budgeted revenues or costs to the estimated service population. Service population includes the City’s resident population plus 50 percent of the total estimated City employment. Employment is weighted at 50 percent to account for the estimated less frequent use of City services by employment versus population. As shown in Table 6-1, The City’s service population is estimated at 279,469 and represents the City’s estimated resident population of 223,230 plus 50 percent of the City’s estimated total employment, or 56,239 (50 percent of the total employment of 112,478). 6.2 City Revenue Assumptions The General Fund and Gas Tax Fund revenue factors that are used in preparing the fiscal analysis for the Spring Trails Specific Plan are presented in Table 6-2. These factors are based on the City’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Adopted revenues for the General Fund and Other Funds shown in Appendix Table B-1 and Table B-2 and the City’s population, employment and service population estimates that are presented in Table 6-1. General Fund Property Taxes - General Fund. The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCFPD) is now providing fire protection to the City. Based on the agreement between the City and the SBCFPD, the City will not receive a share of the 1.0 percent basic levy. The SBCFPD will receive the entire allocations that would have previously been allocated to the City. Property Tax In Lieu of Vehicle License Fees. Cities and counties began receiving additional property tax revenue to replace vehicle license fee (VLF) revenue that was lowered in 2004 when the state reduced the vehicle license tax. This property tax in lieu of VLF is projected to grow with the change in the citywide gross assessed valuation (AV) of taxable property from the prior year. As shown in Appendix Table B-3, the property tax in lieu of VLF in the City is projected to increase at an average of $1,270 per million dollars of new assessed valuation (AV). This factor is based on the change in AV and the change in property tax in lieu of VLF in the City over the last 10 years.

1. For fiscal factors that are based on population and employment, an estimated service population factor is applied, which represents the total population plus 50% of the total employment estimate.2. Based on information from the City Finance Director, at this time the City General Fund will not receive any of the one percent basic property tax levy on the property's assessed valuation because of the property tax exchange agreement between the City and the County Fire Protection District. The County Fire Protection District now provides fire protection to the City.3. The State has lowered the VLF rate, which reduces the amount of VLF received by cities and counties. However, the State is providing property taxes to offset the VLF reduction. VLF is estimated to change according to the City's increased in assessed valuation, as shown in Appendix Table B-3. Based on the property tax agreement between the City and the County Fire Protection District, the City will receive 73.5 percent of the projected property tax in lieu of VLF from the project.4. The City enacted Measure S in 2006 which is a 0.25 percent sales tax and increased to 1 percent in 2020 by voters.5. The City formed Community Facilities District (CFD) 2018-1 in October 2018 which levies a special tax to provide finances for a portion of ongoing citywide public safety services. The special tax is $385 per single family unit and $358 per multi-family unit effective July 1, 2019 through June 2024. Beginning July 1, 2024, these rates will increase by four percent each following July 1.

Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 41 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis The City receives property tax in-lieu of VLF based on the change in its gross assessed valuation of taxable property for new development in the annexed area. Per State law, the existing valuation in an annexing area cannot be used in adjusting the base amount of assessed valuation in the annexing City. However, based on the agreement between the City and the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District the City will receive only 73.5 percent of the projected property tax in lieu of VLF. Sales and Use Tax. Sales tax revenues to the local jurisdiction are projected at one percent of taxable sales. The City receives one percent of the taxable sales of most goods occurring within City limits. In addition to sales tax revenue, the City receives revenues from use tax, which is levied on shipments into the state and on construction materials for new development not allocated to a situs location. Use tax is allocated by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) based on each jurisdiction's proportion of countywide and statewide direct taxable sales. Use tax revenues to the City of San Bernardino are estimated at an additional 14.9 percent of point-of-sale sales tax, as shown in Appendix Table B-4. Half-year 2022 sales tax data provided obtained from CDTFA estimates that $3,549,772 of total sales and use tax were made from levies designated as use tax and the remaining $23,826,715 of the sales and use tax was point-of-sale sales tax. Therefore, use tax revenues to the City of San Bernardino are estimated at an additional 14.9 percent of point-of-sale sales tax. Measure S – Sales Tax. As shown in Table 6-2, Measure Z sales tax is projected at $920 per $1,000 of City sales and use tax. This tax is an additional component of sales and use tax that established an additional 0.25 percent sales tax that took effect in 2007. Measure S was increased to 1 percent sales tax by voters in 2020. Based on discussion with the City’s finance director, this revenue is assumed for the fiscal analysis. Franchise Taxes. Franchise taxes are projected at $42.15 per service population based on FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget revenues of $11,781,000 and the service population estimate of 279,469. City franchise taxes are collected for providers of cable, electric, gas, and telephone. Community Facilities District (CFD) 2018-1 (Safety Services). The City formed CFD 2018-1 In October 2018 which levies a special tax to provide financing for a portion of ongoing public safety services. The special tax is $385 per single family unit and $358 per multi-family unit.
Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc. Spring Trails Annexation, City of San Bernardino October 10, 2023 42 Plan for Service and Fiscal Analysis Collection of the fee began July 1, 2019 and remain at the current rate for five years. Beginning July 1, 2024, these rates will increase by four percent and by four percent each following July 1. Charges for Current Services. Based on estimated FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget recurring revenues of $2,305,000 and the City’s population estimate, charges for current services are projected at $10.33 per capita. These revenues do not include one-time fees and charges, as shown in Appendix Table B-1. Fines and Forfeitures. These revenues include vehicle code fines, parking citations and other fines and penalties, and are projected at $4.32 per service population based on estimated FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget revenues of $1,206,500 and the City’s service population of 279,469. Intergovernmental Revenues. As shown in Table 6-2, these revenues are projected at $5.79 per capita based on estimated FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget revenues of $1,292,000 and the City’s population estimate of 223,230. Business Registration. These revenues are not projected for the proposed residential Spring Trails project because there is no employment projected for the project. Miscellaneous Revenue. These revenues are projected at $4.28 per service population based on estimated FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget recurring revenues of $1,196,556 and the City’s service population estimate of 279,469. Water Fund contributions for administrative services are included in this category. Revenues that are generated on a one-time basis and revenues that are not directly generated by the project are not included in this category. Tow Franchise. Tow franchise revenues are projected at $2.17 per service population based on FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget revenues of $606,000 and the service population of 279,469. Property Transfer Tax.
