Date: November 5, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Gabriel Elliott, Director of Community Development and Housing Department: Community Development and Housing
Subject: Appeal 25-07 for Conditional Use Permit 23-01 & Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01 (Ward 2)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California take the following action:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2025 - 380 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, denying Appeal 25-07, thereby upholding the Planning Commission’s denial of Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01 and not allowing the request for an Alcoholic Beverage Control Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) License within an existing, approximately 1,434 square-foot Arco gas station and convenience store, located at 189 W. Highland Avenue (APN: 0146-013- 25) within the Commercial General (CG-1) zone (Attachment 1).
OR
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2025- 381 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approving Appeal 25-07, thereby overturning the Planning Commission’s denial of Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01 to allow the request for an Alcoholic Beverage Control Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) License within an existing, approximately 1,434 square-foot Arco gas station and convenience store, located at 189 W. Highland Avenue (APN: 0146-013- 25) within the Commercial General (CG-1) zone (Attachment 2).

Executive Summary
Appeal 25-07 involves the Planning Commission’s denial of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and issuing a Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) letter for a Type 20 (Off- Sale Beer & Wine) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license to the existing gas station and convenience store (‘Arco’) at 189 West Highland Avenue. The Planning Commission’s denial prevents the gas station and convenience store from selling beer and wine at their location. This decision was based on there being an overconcentration of ABC licenses in the area, the site’s proximity to other establishments, and the crime rate statistics for that district. The applicant is requesting the City Council to approve the appeal and overturn the Planning Commission’s denial of CUP 23-01 and PCN 23-01, which would allow them to sell beer and wine at their location.
Background
On July 10, 2025, City Staff recommended denial of Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01, which requested the approval of a new Type 21 (Off-Sale General) license. This recommendation was not based on the type of license being requested but on the site’s location within a reporting district that exceeds the average City-wide crime rate and did not meet locational restrictions. The Planning Commission continued the item to August 12, 2025 to be heard as a Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) license.
At the Planning Commission meeting of August 12, 2025, the Commission voted to adopt Resolution No. 2025-033 – PC, therefore denying the request for a Type 20 license based on the Findings of Fact. The Motion to approve Staff’s Recommendation for denial passed by 6 – 1 vote.
On August 27, 2025, the applicant filed an appeal (Appeal 25-07) consistent with the City’s requirements for appeals enclosed in Section 19.52 (Hearings and Appeals).
Discussion
Appeal Grounds
The applicant’s appeal was based on the following:
1. Conditions of approval can be used to mitigate the site’s sale of alcohol in a high crime area, proximity to sensitive uses, and any potential alcohol related issues.
2. An overconcentration of licenses within a given subject census tract has become industry standard.
Project Description/Analysis
Pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 19.36 (Conditional Use Permits) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code, the applicant and their representative, Erika Diaz, are requesting the approval of Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01 to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages with a Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) License from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control at an existing Arco gas station and convenience store.

The project site is approximately 0.38 acres, located at 189 West Highland Avenue on the southeast corner of W. Highland Avenue and N. Mountain View Avenue (APN: 0146- 013-25) within the Commercial General (CG-1) zone.
Table 1 below provides a summary of the surrounding land use characteristics of the subject site and surrounding properties.

The subject site is located within Census Tract No. 0054.00. The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) reports that Census Tract No. 0054.00 has a population of 6,981 persons and encapsulates approximately 448 acres. ABC’s concentration standards allow for a maximum of five (5) off-sale licenses. There are currently seven (7) active off-sale licenses within this census tract resulting in an overage of two (2) off-sale ABC licenses in the subject census tract.
Per Section 19.06.030(2)(B)(Article II)(Section III)(I)(2) (Commercial Zones Specific Standards – Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) of the Development Code, proposed alcoholic beverage sales activities that are within 500 feet of an existing alcoholic beverage sales activity is cause for denial based on potential adverse effects to the public’s interest, health, safety, or convenience. ‘Green Shack Market Place’ holds License No. 184851, which is a Type 21 (Off-Sale General) license and is 55.00 linear feet from the subject ‘Arco’. The Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) license which is 82.80 linear feet from the subject site is held by ‘7 Eleven’ under License No. 511544. Both licenses are within the 500-foot locational restriction of proposed alcoholic beverage sales activities.
Per Section 19.06.030(2)(B)(Article II)(Section III)(A)(2) (Commercial Zones Specific Standards – Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) of the Development Code, new alcoholic beverage licenses are prohibited within 500 feet of a place of worship or religious institution. However, service stations may be exempted from these locational restrictions, subject to evaluation of site-specific conditions through the CUP review process and considering recommendations from the Police Department. The proposed use is located within 500 feet of two (2) places of worship or religious institutions.
Specifically, the subject ‘Arco’ is 124.30 linear feet from ‘Iglesias de Restauración San Bernardino’ and 334.20 linear feet from ‘La Luz del Mundo’, both of which are within the 500-foot threshold of a sensitive land use.

As such, Staff has provided site-specific conditions including limited alcohol sales hours and locked metal coolers (Attachment 2 – Condition 28, 33(d), & 33(e)).
Police Department Review
The Police Department has reviewed the application for the allowance of an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) license for the existing gas station and convenience store (Arco) and conducted an investigation based on the information provided and crime statistics within the surrounding area (Attachment 5).

As reported by the Police Department, Arco is located within a reporting district that exceeds the City-wide average percentage of crimes by a total of 104.65%. The Police Department does not provide recommendations for approval or denial.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
In accordance with § 15301 (Existing Facilities), the Planning Division conducted an environmental evaluation in connection with proposed Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01 and concluded that the approval of a Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) License would not change the current land use (gas station and convenience store) and would therefore not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment.
General Plan Goals and Policies
The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes goals and policies to guide future development within the City, including the following:
Land Use Element Policy 2.4: Enhance the quality of life and economic vitality in San Bernardino by strategic infill of new development and revitalization of existing development.
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 proposed project does not implement the above General Plan goals and policies that the applicant is proposing for Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01 due to the adverse impacts on residents and the surrounding uses based on an overconcentration of licenses, the site’s location within a reporting district that exceeds the average City-wide crime rate, and the site’s inability to meet locational restrictions for new alcohol outlets.
Appeal Actions
This staff report has outlined actions previously taken by the Planning Commission and Planning Staff under Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01. The action taken by the City Council could affirm or overturn Planning Commission’s approval of Resolution No. 2025-033 – PC, which denied the request for an alcohol license.
A denial of Appeal 25-07 would uphold the Planning Commission’s denial of Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01 for a Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) license. The property is located within a reporting district that exceeds the average City-Wide crime rate (Table 4) and did not meet locational restrictions to sensitive uses and other alcohol outlets (Tables 2 & 3). As such, Council’s denial would affirm that the proposed alcohol license is not compatible with existing and potential land uses within the general area.
Packet Page. 26

An approval of Appeal 25-07 would overturn the Planning Commission’s denial of the proposed Type 20 license. New alcoholic beverage sales proposed at service stations may be exempt from select locational restrictions subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit and evaluation of site-specific conditions. Attachment 2, ([Resolution No. 2025-38 (Approval of Appeal’)] includes conditions to mitigate alcohol-related problems that involve the limitation of alcohol sales hours between 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., usage of locked metal coolers for the storage and display of alcohol products, and restrictions on volume and quantity of alcohol products. Therefore, Council’s approval of Appeal 25- 07 overturning the original denial would assert that these site-specific conditions are sufficient in mitigating any alcohol related issues or nuisances. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01 could have aligned with Mayor and City Council 2020-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals No. 4:
Economic Growth and Development. As the proposed project would have increased overall general sales and provided retail sales tax from the sales of alcoholic beverages to the City of San Bernardino.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with Appeal 25-07.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California take the following action:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2025 - 380 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, denying Appeal 25-07, thereby upholding the Planning Commission’s denial of Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01 and not allowing the request for an Alcoholic Beverage Control Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) License within an existing, approximately 1,434 square-foot Arco gas station and convenience store, located at 189 W. Highland Avenue (APN: 0146-013- 25) within the Commercial General (CG-1) zone (Attachment 1).
OR
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2025- 381 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approving Appeal 25-07, thereby overturning the Planning Commission’s denial of Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01 to allow the request for an Alcoholic Beverage Control Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) License within an existing, approximately 1,434 square-foot Arco gas station and convenience store, located at 189 W.

Resolution No. 2025-380
Resolution 2025-380
November 5, 2025
SECTION 2. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. As the decision- making body for the project, the Major and City Council have reviewed and considered the information contained in the administrative record of Appeal 25- 07 for Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01. 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 find, 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; and
(2) In accordance with Section 15270 (Projects Which are Disapproved) of the CEQA Guidelines, the Mayor and City Council has determined that consideration of Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23- 01 is exempt from CEQA due to the fact that the Mayor and City Council is denying Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01; and
(3) The determination of the project’s CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgement of the Mayor and City Council.
SECTION 3. Findings of Fact – Conditional Use Permit 23 -01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01.
Finding No. 1: The proposed alcoholic beverage sales activity establishment is located in a zoning district in which the establishment is a permitted use.
Findings of Fact: The request to allow the establishment of a new Alcoholic Beverage Control license (Type 20 – Off-Sale Beer & Wine) in conjunction with the existing gas station and convenience store is subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) with the appropriate Conditions of Approval and CEQA determination. The project site is located in the Commercial General (CG - 1) zone and is substantially surrounded by existing commercial uses.
Section 19.06.030(2)(B)(Article II)(Section III)(A)(2) (Commercial Zones Specific Standards – Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) of the Development Code prohibits new alcoholic beverage licenses with in 500 feet of a place of worship or religious institution. Service stations 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. The proposed use is located within 500 feet of two (2) places of worship or religious institutions. The subject ‘Arco’ is 124.30 linear feet from ‘Iglesias de Restauración San Bernardino’ and 334.20 linear feet from ‘La Luz del Mundo’, both of which are within the 500-foot threshold estab lished for sensitive land uses.
Packet Page. 31
Resolution No. 2025-380
Resolution 2025-380
November 5, 2025
Although the proposed alcoholic beverage sales activity is permitted in the Commercial General (CG -1) zoning district subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit and may be exempt from select locational restrictions as an existing service station, the overconcentration of licenses in the site’s census tract, its location within a reporting district that exceeds the average City -wide crime rate, and its inability to meet locational restrictions for new alcohol outlets would cause adverse impacts on residents and the surrounding uses.
Finding No. 2: Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity (Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4(b)(2)), if the activity will be located in an area that has been determined by the State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to have an undue concentration of licenses as defined in Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4 (a).
Finding of Fact: The subject site is located within Census Tract 0054.00. The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) reports that Census Tract No. 0054.00 has a population of 6,981 persons and encapsulates approximately 448 acres. Department of A BC license concentration standards allow for a maximum of five (5) off -sale licenses within the census tract. Currently there are seven (7) existing active off -sale licenses within the subject census tract. Two (2) active licenses are within one hundred feet (100’) of the subject site: Green Shack Market Place located at 163 West Highland Avenue (55.00 linear feet) and 7 Eleven store at 207 West Highland Avenue (82.80 linear feet).
The site does not currently hold any existing alcohol licenses. As such, the approval of the license would increase the number of active off-sale licenses and result in an overage of three (3) licenses within the census tract, necessitating a Public Convenience or Necessity Letter and deeming the subject census tract overconcentrated.
Finding No. 3: A finding that the alcoholic beverages sales activity will not aggravate existing problems in the neighborhood created by the sales of alcohol such as loitering, public drunkenness, alcoholic beverage sales to minors, noise, and littering.
Finding of Fact: The Police Department has indicated that there are a total of 219 reporting districts within the City and that there was an average of 68.41 crimes per reporting district during the course of the reporting year. A report was created for the subject reporting district to identify the number of crimes reported over a twelve (12) -month period. During this period, there were fifty-nine (59) Part I crimes and eighty-one (81) Part II crimes for a total of 140 crimes reported at the subject location. Of the total crimes, forty (4 0) were calls for service and two (2) reports were required. There are eight Part I crimes which include murder, nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible
Packet Page. 32
Resolution No. 2025-380
Resolution 2025-380
November 5, 2025
rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny- theft, motor vehicle theft. Part II crimes consist of simple assaults, vandalism, drug abuse violations, disorderly conduct, and fraud. As reported by the Police Department, Arco is located within a reporting district that exceeds the City- wide average percentage of crimes by a total of 104.65%. As such, the approval of Conditional Use Permit 23- 01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01 could aggravate existing problems in the neighborhood.
Finding No. 4: The proposed establishment will not detrimentally affect nearby neighborhoods considering the distance of the alcohol establishment to residential buildings, schools, parks, playgrounds or recreational uses, nonprofit youth facilities, places of worship, hospitals, alcohol or other drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities, county social service offices, or other alcoholic beverage sales activity establishments.
Finding of Fact: The proposal would allow the establishment of a new ABC Type 20 (Off- Sale Beer & Wine) License in conjunction with the existing Arco gas station and convenience store within 124.30 linear feet of Iglesias de Restauración San Bernardino and 334.20 linear feet of La Luz del Mundo, both of which are places of worship. Therefore, the project site does not meet the required 500-foot separation from sensitive uses established by the City’s Development Code.
Finding No. 5: The proposed establishment will otherwise be compatible with existing and potential uses within the general area.
Finding of Fact: The proposed establishment of a new Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine ) License with the Department of ABC in conjunction with the existing Arco gas station and convenience store does not satisfy the locational restrictions for a new alcoholic beverage sale activity nor the locational restrictions for sensitive land uses. ‘Green Shack Market Place’ holds License No. 184851, which is a Type 21 (Off-Sale General) license and is 55.00 linear feet from the subject ‘Arco’. The Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) license 82.80 linear feet from the subject site is held by ‘7 Eleven’ under License No. 511544.
Both licenses are within the 500- foot locational re striction of proposed alcoholic beverage sales activities. Therefore, Conditional Use Permit 23 - 01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23- 01 would not be compatible with existing and potential land uses within the general area.
Finding No. 6: The proposed establishment is not located in what has been determined to be a high-crime area or where a disproportionate number of police service calls occur.
Finding of Fact: The Police Department has reviewed the proposed project and determined that the subject reporting district in which the subject Arco is located had a total of 140 crimes, which exceeds the City -wide average of 68.41 crimes
Packet Page. 33
Resolution No. 2025-380
Resolution 2025-380
November 5, 2025
per reporting distract by a total of approximately 104.65%. Two (2) of the calls for service were alcohol related. Staff has determined that the proposed scope of work is located in a high-crime area.
Finding No. 7: The use of the proposed establishment is consistent with the General Plan.
Finding of Fact: The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes goals and policies to guide future development within the City, including the following:
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.
Land Use Element Policy 2.2.10: The protection of the
quality of life shall take precedence during the review of new projects. Accordingly, the City shall utilize its discretion to deny or require mitigation of projects that result in impacts that outweigh benefits to the public.
With a crime rate within the subject reporting district above the City -wide average, a new ABC Type 2 0 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine ) License in conjunction with the existing Arco does not comply with the abovementioned General Plan policies.
SECTION 4. Severability: If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, or clause or phrase in this Resolution or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Resolution or any part thereof. The Mayor and City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted each section irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective.
APPROVED and ADOPTED by the City Council and signed by the Mayor and attested by the City Clerk this 5

Resolution No. 2025-381
Resolution No. 2025-391
November 5, 2025
SECTION 2. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. As the decision- making body for the project, the Major and City Council have reviewed and considered the information contained in the administrative record of Appeal 25- 07 for Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01. 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 find, 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; and
(2) The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirement s of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines; and
(3) The application of the categorical exemption is not barred by one of the exceptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 (Exceptions); and (4) The determination of the project’s CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgement of the Mayor and City Council.
SECTION 3. Findings of Fact – Conditional Use Permit 23 -01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01.
Finding No. 1: The proposed alcoholic beverage sales activity establishment is located in a zoning district in which the establishment is a permitted use.
Findings of Fact: The request to allow the establishment of a new Alcoholic Beverage Control license (Type 20 – Off-Sale Beer & Wine) in conjunction with the existing gas station and convenience store is subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) with the appropriate Conditions of Approval and CEQA determination. The project site is located in the Commercial General (CG -1) zone and is substantially surrounded by existing commercial uses.
Section 19.06.030(2)(B)(Article II)(Section III)(A)(2) (Commercial Zones Specific Standards – Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) of the Development Code prohibits new alcoholic beverage licenses within 500 feet of a place of worship or religious institution. However, service stations 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. The proposed use is located within 500 feet of two (2) places of worship or religious institutions. The subject ‘Arco’ is 124.30 linear feet
Packet Page. 39
Resolution No. 2025-381
Resolution No. 2025-391
November 5, 2025
from ‘Iglesias de Restauración San Bernardino’ and 334.20 linear feet from ‘La Luz del Mundo’, both of which are within the 500- foot threshold established for sensitive land uses. Although these two (2) places of worship are within the 500- foot threshold established by the City of San Bernardino Development Code, Staff recommends approval of Appeal 25-07 for Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23- 01, because the inclusion of conditions of approval tailored to the site based on Staff’s studies mitigates the concerns.
Finding No. 2: Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity (Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4(b)(2)), if the activity will be located in an area that has been determined by the State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to have an undue concentration of licenses as defined in Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4 (a).
Finding of Fact: The subject site is located within Census Tract 0054.00. The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (A BC) reports that Census Tract No. 0054.00 has a population of 6,981 persons and encapsulates approximately 448 acres. Department of ABC license concentration standards allow for a maximum of five (5) off- sale licenses within the census tract . Currently there are seven (7) existing active off-sale licenses within the subject census tract. Two (2) active licenses are within one h undred feet (100’) of the subject site: Green Shack Market Place located at 163 West Highland Avenue (55.00 linear feet) and 7 Eleven store at 207 West Highland Avenue (82.80 linear feet).
The site does not currently hold any existing alcohol licenses.
Although the approval of the license would increase the number of active off-sale licenses and result in an overage of three (3) licenses within the census tract, − necessitating a Public Convenience or Necessity Letter − the proposed scope of work at this development will create an economic benefit to the City of San Bernardino as it will increase overall general sales and provide retail sales tax revenue from the sales of alcoholic beverages to the City of San Bernardino.
Finding No. 3: A finding that the alcoholic beverages sales activity will not aggravate existing problems in the neighborhood created by the sales of alcohol such as loitering, public drunkenness, alcoholic beverage sales to minors, noise, and littering.
Finding of Fact: The Police Department has indicated that there are a total of 219 reporting districts within the City and that there was an average of
Packet Page. 40
Resolution No. 2025-381
Resolution No. 2025-391
November 5, 2025
68.41 crimes per reporting district during the course of the reporting year. A report was created for the subject reporting district to identify the number of crimes reported over a twelve (12) -month period.
During this period, there were fifty-nine ( 59) Part I crimes and eighty-one (81) Part II crimes for a total of 14 0 crimes reported at the subject location. Part I crimes consist of serious crimes such as murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny- theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. Part II crimes consist of assault, vandalism, disorderly conduct, etc. Of the total crimes, forty (4 0) were calls for service and two (2) reports were required. Although the subject Arco is located within a reporting district that exceeds the City-wide average percentage of crimes by a total of 104.65% (as reported by the Police Department ), the approval of Appeal 25- 07 for Conditional Use Permit 23 -01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23 -01 includes site -specific conditions to mitigate potential effects to the proposed subject census tract.
Finding No. 4: The proposed establishment will not detrimentally affect nearby neighborhoods considering the distance of the alcohol establishment to residential buildings, schools, parks, playgrounds or recreational uses, nonprofit youth facilities, places of worship, hospitals, alcohol or other drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities, county social service offices, or othe r alcoholic beverage sales activity establishments.
Finding of Fact: The proposal will allow the establishment a new ABC Type 20 (Off- Sale Beer & Wine ) License in conjunction with the existing Arco gas station and convenience store within 124.30 linear feet of Iglesias de Restauración San Bernardino and 334.20 linear feet of La Luz del Mundo, both of which are places of worship. Although the project site does not meet the required 500-foot separation from sensitive uses established by the City’s Development Code, service stations may be exempted from locational restrictions under Section
19.06.030(2)(B)(Article II)(Section III)(A)(2) (Commercial Zones Specific Standards – Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) subject to site-specific conditions of approval.
Finding No. 5: The proposed establishment will otherwise be compatible with existing and potential uses within the general area.
Finding of Fact: The proposed establishment of a new Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) License with the Department of ABC in conjunction with the existing Arco gas station and convenience store is located within an urbanized area on a parcel zoned for commercial uses. The license would continue to be utilized a s an operating gas station and convenience store and, as such, will not create any significant noise,

Resolution No. 2025-381
Resolution No. 2025-391
November 5, 2025
traffic, or other conditions that would be detrimental or objectionable to other uses in the vicinity or adverse to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
Finding No. 6: The proposed establishment is not located in what has been determined to be a high -crime area or where a disproportionate number of police service calls occur.
Finding of Fact: The Police Department has reviewed the proposed project and determined that the subject reporting district in which the subject Arco is located had a total of 14 0 crimes, which exceeds the City - wide average of 68.41 crimes per reporting distract by a total of approximately 104.65%. Two (2 ) of the calls for service were alcohol related. Although the site is located in a high- crime area, conditions of approval have been tailored to the site based on Staff’s studies.
Finding No. 7: The use of the proposed establishment is consistent with the General Plan.
Finding of Fact: The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes goals and policies to guide future development within the City, including the following:
Land Use Element Policy 2.4: Enhance the quality of
life and economic vitality in San Bernardino by
strategic infill of new development and revitalization
of existing development.
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.
Appeal 25- 07 for Conditional Use Permit 23 -01 and Public Convenience or Necessity 23-01, which is a request for an Alcoholic Beverage Control Type 20 (Off -Sale Beer & Wine) License for an exiting convenience store and service station has been analyzed by the City of San Bernardino Police Department. As such, the project is consistent with the General Plan.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Lt. Jason King, Special Investigation Bureau
FROM: Darlena Mayberry, CIO, Vice Unit
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit (CUP 23-01) and Public Convenience or Necessity Letter (PCN 23-01)
COPIES: Angelyn Mendoza, Community Development Department Planning Division
INTRODUCTION:
On July 7, 2025, I received by e-mail a project review routing and Planning permit application from the City of San Bernardino Community Development Department, Planning Division, Planning Assistant, Angelyn Mendoza.
The request from Planning contained attachments for Police Department review and comments.
The applicant proposes to allow the establishment of an ABC Type-20 (Off- Sale Beer and Wine) license for an existing convenience store. The business is located at 189 W. Highland Ave. in San Bernardino, CA 92405. The building is approximately 1,434 square feet, within the Commercial General-1 Zone. The hours of operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Monday through Sunday.
They currently have 4 employees with 2 shifts.
I received the project review routing form, planning permit application, property owner’s authorization form, ABC supplemental application, and maps of the property.
The applicant is Erika Diaz, the property owner is Erika Diaz , and the representative is Rep.
Woods, Diaz Group, LLC.
FINDINGS:
It should be noted that I used the address of 189 W. Highland Ave . for the Police Review Worksheet (see attached).
The project site APN # 0146-013-25. The business is in reporting district S1370. There were 59 part-I crimes in this reporting district between July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025. There was 286 part- I crimes within a ½ mile radius of this location during the same period.
There were 81 part-II crimes in this reporting district between July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025, with 2 of those being alcohol related. There were 268 part-II crimes within a ½ mile radius of this location during the same period with 2 of those being alcohol related. There are a total of 219 reporting districts in the city.
Packet Page. 60
The above crime stats reflect the number of part I and part II crimes in the S1370 reporting district.
The crime stats in the reporting district are compared against the total number of crimes in a calendar year for all reporting districts.
The above crime statistics were obtained utilizing the crime View Dashboard database. These are not UCR verified statistics and may not reflect what is reported to the California State Department of Justice.
I generated a one-year Incident Analysis Report for 189 W. Highland Ave. in San Bernardino, between July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025. There were 40 calls for service, and 2 reports were required.
The project site is in Census Tract 55.00. There are 7 active existing Off-Sale ABC licenses in this census tract with an allowance for 5, with an overage of 2 ABC licenses in this census tract. This projected license will increase the active licenses allowed in the census tract by 1.
There are 7 active existing On-Sale ABC licenses in this census tract with an allowance for 5, with an overage of 2 ABC licenses in this census tract. This projected license will not increase active licenses allowed in this census tract.
During the review, it was determined that there was a total of 14,982 Part I and Part II crimes in the city from July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025, when divided by a total of 219 reporting districts .
This translates to the general crime rate of 68.41 part I and part II crimes per reporting district within the course of the period reviewed. The proposed location within the reporting district saw a total of 140 crimes during the reviewed period. The 140 crimes in this location when compared with the 68.41 average crimes per reporting district exceeds the average by 104.65%.
These numbers do reflect an oversaturation in the number of ABC licenses issued, for On-Sale and Off-Sale ABC licenses in this census tract. A worksheet detailing the crime rate in the proposed location compared to the crime rate of the entire City of San Bernardino was prepared.
This was done in accordance with City Municipal Code, Chapter 19.06, Section III, Locational Restrictions.
(F) The following location conditions will be considered in the review of Conditional Use Permit applications, and may be grounds for denial based on potential adverse effects to the public interest, health, safety, or convenience:
1. A location within a crime reporting district, or within 500 feet of a crime reporting district, where the general crime rate exceeds the city-wide general crime rate by more than 20 percent.
2. A location where the new alcoholic beverage sales activity would be within 500 feet from an existing alcoholic beverage sales activity or would lead to the grouping of more than four alcoholic sales activities within a 1,000-foot radius from the new alcoholic beverage sales activity.
Packet Page. 61
The San Bernardino Police Department is following ABC best practices with reviewing the crime rate in both the property location and the entire City. This was done in accordance with City Municipal Code, Chapter 19.06, Section III, Locational Restrictions (I) 1. Commercial Zones Ch.
19.06 26-46 Rev. Oct. 2019.
The applicant has not yet completed the process for issuance of the updated ABC license and may not do so until the Conditional Use Permit is approved.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The San Bernardino Police Department has provided crime data and Alcoholic Beverage Control saturation findings for the affected reporting district. The Department does not endorse or oppose this application and offers neither approval nor denial. I recommend that this staff study and its accompanying documentation be forwarded to the Community & Economic Development Department for their review and final recommendation.

Applicable CEQA Exemption
Class 1 Exemption (Existing Facilities)
The Community Development Department – Planning Division of the City of San Bernardino has reviewed the proposed Project and has determined that it is categorically exempt and qualifies for a Class 1 Existing Facilities (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301). The Class 1 exemption consists of projects characterized as the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involvin g negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency’s determination.
The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.
Examples of this exemption include but are not limited to:
✓ Licensing of a private structure.
Findings Supporting the Applicable CEQA Exemption
The City of San Bernardino determined, following a preliminary evaluation of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) License, that the proposed Project would not result in any significant effects on the environment. This determination is based on the following:

b. The upgraded Alcoholic Beverage Control Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) License will be in conjunction with a previously approved and operating 1,434 square-foot building. Operation with an Alcoholic Beverage Control Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) License is conditionally permitted within the Commercial General (CG-1) zone subject to a Conditional Use Permit with appropriate Conditions of Approval and CEQA Determination.
c. The proposed Project is consistent with the commercial General Plan land use designation and all applicable General Plan policies, as well as with applicable Commercial Zoning District classification and regulations.
d. Conditions of Approval will be imposed on the proposed Project to alleviate any potential impacts.

City Manager's Comments
The City Manager recommends approval based on being consistent with the property owner’s petition.
Executive Summary
The recommended actions are the second step of the annexation process for the proposed development into Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services). The property owner has petitioned the City to annex into the City’s CFD to mitigate its impacts for maintenance service of public facilities as a result of the new development. The City Council approved the Resolution of Intention on September 17, 2025, setting today the time and place of the public hearing. The special taxes will be levied annually to offset general fund expenditures related to maintenance of public improvements within and for the benefit of the development.
Background
On September 17, 2025, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025- 368, 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 November 5, 2025, 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 September 18, 2025, at 12:12 p.m. in Book 92 Page 60, Document No. 2025-0225229 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 16.45 gross acres of zoned commercial property within the City, requesting that the City assist them in annexing their property into CFD No. 2019-1 under the Mello-Roos Act. The proposed project will include an industrial warehouse. 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 landscaping and other public improvements installed within the public rights-of-way; and
2. Public lighting and appurtenant facilities, including streetlights within public rights- of-way and traffic signals; and
3. Maintenance of streets, including street sweeping, pavement management and sidewalks; and
Packet Page. 115
4. Maintenance and operation of water quality improvements including storm drainage and floor protection facilities; and
5. 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 51 and is located at the northwest corner of Institution Road and Southern Pacific RR, as shown in Attachment #13.
The maximum annual special tax for this development has been calculated to be $10,562 for FY 2025/26. 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 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, waiving all notice requirements, and waiving word limit requirements for the ballot 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 September 17, 2025.
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 second reading of the amended Ordinance would be scheduled for November 19, 2025.
Packet Page. 116
Discussion
The Resolution of Intention called for a public hearing to be held on November 5, 2025, 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. 2025-___, it may immediately proceed to the opening of the ballots and adopt Resolution No. 2025-___ declaring the results of the election.
2021-2025 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
The individual property owners in the CFD will be responsible for annual payments of special taxes. It is estimated, upon full completion of the development, there will be an annual collection of special tax revenues of approximately $10,562 to be used to pay for maintenance costs within the development. All costs associated with annexation into the CFD have been borne by the Developer.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Hold a Public Hearing; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-382 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, calling an election to submit to the qualified electors the

The process has been handled professionally, and everyone involved was advised of confidentiality laws. The Mayor and City Council have met several times to discuss applicants and are confident that they will select a highly qualified candidate.

Treasure Ortiz stated that the Mayor and City Council do not follow their own rules. She stated that one of the candidates that the community knows about is unqualified. There have been 12 City Managers in 12 years, and the Council needs to make better decisions.
Stan Futch (phonetic spelling), president of Westside Action Group, commented that it appears that since there have been so many Closed Sessions about the recruitment, that the Mayor and City Council must be having difficulty voting unanimously.

Dolores Armstead commented that a new recruitment firm should be hired. She opposed Steve Carrigan being hired as City Manager.
Cheryl Brown commented that citizens have been calling her asking what is going on with the City Council. She stated that the City has had too many City Managers. She informed that consistency and leadership are very important in this process.
“Yolanda” spoke about issues not related to the agenda.
“Maria” stated that the Mayor and City Council do not help the local business community.
Joshua Beckley asked the Mayor and City Council not to hire the candidate that has been fired for financial mismanagement. He asked that they take their time in the recruitment and find someone else.
Miriam Nieto commented that she agreed with previous speakers. She stated that Interim City Manager McNeely has been consistent and he should stay in his position, and the City Council should wait to hire someone until they find an appropriate candidate.

Speaker, Pastor Ray Turner , stated that San Bernardino does not have as many opportunities as surrounding cities.

City Clerk Genoveva Rocha then stated that there was one written comment received from Tim Dorame, and it was available online for public viewing.
At this time, Council Member Calvin made a motion to immediately close the recruitment for City Manager, end the contract with Koff & Associates, and re -agendize the topic to the next Regular Meeting of September 6, 2023. She stated that the Mayor and City Council should conduct a process that is open and includes community input. She stated that the current recruitment failed due to the process lacking confidentiality and ethics .
The motion was seconded by Council Member Reynoso.
City Attorney Carvalho stated that the council could not vote to end the process at that time, because the item had been agendized for Closed Session. She advised that any motion from a Council Member would be overruling the Chair. She asked if Council Member Calvin was attempting to make a motion to end the meeting.
Council Member Calvin confirmed that she was.
City Attorney Carvalho stated that it would be more beneficial to continue into Closed Session, and the Council could provide more information and discuss any concerns at that time.
Council Member Calvin amended her motion to end the current meeting and agendize the City Manager recruitment item for September 6, 2023. This motion was seconded by Council Member Reynoso.

DISCUSSION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & CITY REINVESTMENT
1. Downtown Active Camera Monitoring System
Darren Goodman, Police Chief provided a presentation on the San Bernardino Smart Camera System. The Chief spoke about the history of the city’s efforts to implement a camera system throughout the city, the background and goals with the project, technology considerations and other key factors, including community involvement.
The city's camera system was described as dilapidated and in need of dire repair, with only four out of approximately 95 cameras installed currently functioning.
Chief Goodman advised that the goal was to implement a SMART (Security Monitoring Advanced through Real-Time Technology) plan, aimed to allow the cameras to act as deterrents and use the system to actively investigate and monitor the area to integrate into police operations.
The plan sought to use overlapping camera placement for comprehensive coverage and emphasized the integration of camera data with police operations to enhance real - time response capabilities.
The proposal also underscored the importance of community partnerships, allowing businesses and residents to integrate their camera systems with the city's real -time information center for enhanced monitoring and response to incidents.
Councilmember Calvin inquired about the number of cameras one officer could monitor, and Chief Goodman responded that one officer can manage up to 20 cameras.
Councilmember Alexander asked if the system could integrate with business security systems, and Chief Goodman confirmed it is possible depending on available funding.

2. City Hall Renovation Project
William Lamp i Management Analyst from the City Manager’s Office began the presentation with background information, financing details, and an overview of the proposed renovation process for the City Hall building.
Staff Lampi described the structure as containing over 100,000 square feet of office space across six to seven floors plus a basement. N oting, 90% of the building’s exterior consists of glass windows. The building was designed to reflect civic pride and the urban environment and has received recognition from the Library of Congress and the American Institute of Architects as one of the 49 most outstanding City Halls in the United States
The building was vacated due to seismic safety concerns. Seismic assessments conducted in 2007, 2016, and 2018 all concluded that retrofitting was necessary.
Estimated costs for retrofitting ranged from $7.8 million to $15 million, though these were preliminary figures lacking detailed engineering plans.
William Lampi presented two retrofit concepts: an interior retrofit that would reduce usable interior space but preserve the exterior design, and an exterior retrofit that would preserve interior space but alter the building's appearance.
The financing portion of the presentation was delivered by Sarah Brown and Mark Rier from Stifel. They outlined how the City could legally finance the renovation through lease revenue bonds or certificates of participation, which are not considered traditional debt under the California Constitution and do not require voter approval. These financing methods have been widely used across California, with over $21 billion issued in the past 11 years, $8.9 billion of which was new money. Brown and Rier noted an increasing trend of cities undertaking infrastructure projects due to aging assets and limited revenue growth.
The presentation concluded with a note that the City Hall building could become eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places if renovated and reoccupied.
Councilmembers discussed the City Hall Project, with inquiries regarding the RFP process, potential federal funding, the proposed timeline and the inclusion of City staff for development opportunities. City Manager Montoya was in agreement with the City Council’s request for the Mayor and Council to be involved in the service contracts related to the City Hall project and providing development opportunities for staff.

3. Carousel Mall Redevelopment Project
William Lamp i, Management Analyst with the City Manager’s Office, provided a presentation on the Carousel Mall Project. He gave an overview of the site’s background, history, and future plans.
The mall originally included 76 stores and three department stores, later expanding to about 100 retailers. Its primary purposes were to generate sales and property tax revenue and to encourage further downtown development.
Staff Lampi noted that a series of economic and structural challenges led to the mall’s decline. These included the closures of Norton Air Force Base, the Santa Fe Rail Yards, and Kaiser Steel, which collectively eliminated around 20,000 jobs. In addition, the realignment of Interstate 15 diverted traffic away from downtown, and the opening of Inland Center Mall drew customers elsewhere.
Public Works Director Lynn Merrill to provided an update on the mall’s demolition and current status
.
Director Merrill provided an update on the Carousel Mall demolition project.
Director Merrill presented aerial photos showing the demolition progress , by late October of 2023. By the current month, the site was largely cleared, with processed materials placed strategically to create safety barriers and prevent falls in areas with significant elevation changes.
Director Merrill also stated that a Phase I Environmental Assessment had been completed. A Phase II Environmental Assessment involving soil sampling and testing for contamination was scheduled to begin the following week.
William Lampi provided an overview of the Surplus Land Act (SLA) process and its application to potential redevelopment sites, including the Carousel Mall property.
Staff Lampi then discussed conceptual plans for the redevelopment of the Carousel Mall site. The vision divides the property into five “quadrants,” each with distinct uses.
Redevelopment is expected to occur in phases, with a focus on creating a sustainable, pedestrian-friendly, and economically vibrant city center.
Councilmembers discussed various aspects of the Carousel Mall project, including its potential impact on the Inland Center Mall, alignment with the community’s vision, and the amount of new information presented without prior review.

DISCUSSION POLICIES, PROCEDURES & COMMUNICATIONS
4. Code of Ethics and Conduct Policy
Cory Hodges, Senior Management Analyst in the City Manager’s Office, presented a brief PowerPoint outlining conceptual ideas for a proposed Code of Ethics and Conduct policy.
The presentation covered policy goals, core ethical values, and proposed next steps.
Key goals included establishing clear ethical standards to enhance service quality and build public trust. Core values presented included professionalism, fiscal responsibility, collaboration, and accountability.
Staff planned to incorporate feedback from the Mayor, City Council, City Manager, and department directors before returning with a formal draft for further discussion and potential adoption.
Councilmember Alexander questioned if the City of San Bernardino already had a code of ethics.
City Manager Charles Montoya clarified that many of the ethical standards are already outlined in the Municipal Code and included within the City Charter.
Assistant City Attorney Rice added that Councilmembers are subject to AB 1234 ethics training and an existing Code of Conduct, noting that the proposed Code of Ethics would serve as an aspirational guide for conduct beyond current requirements.

Council Member Ortiz pulled this item for further discussion. Council Members Shorett, Sanchez, Knaus initially recused themselves from this item due to a conflict of interest for receiving campaign contributions from San Manuel.
Council Member Ortiz asked Police Chief Goodman if this would be an ongoing grant. Chief Goodman stated that this was a one- time grant, and future expenses would be covered by the department’s budget.
The initial motion to adopt the resolution was approved, however upon return of the recused Council Members to the dais, Council Member Sanchez asked if the Mayor should have recused herself as well since she also received donations from San Manuel. City Attorney Maldonado confirmed that per the Levine act, members should recuse themselves even if they do not vote on the item. The Mayor then cited her conflict of interest due to receiving campaign contributions from San Manuel.
Council Members Shorett, Sanchez, Knaus and Mayor Tran then left the dais again so the item could be voted upon once more.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: November 5, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Eric Levitt, City Manager
Department: City Manager's Office
Subject: Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with
Mandeville Modular for the Navigation Center’s Modular
Units Extending the Contract Term Date Through
December 31, 2026, and Increasing the Not-To-Exceed
Amount by $224,406.14; Approve Change Order No. 2; and
Authorize an Additional Allocation of $214,420 in Project Contingencies (Ward 1)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California,
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for Design Services and Purchase and Delivery of Goods with Mandeville Modular extending the term of the Original Agreement through December 31, 2026, and increasing the not-to-exceed amount by $224,406.14 for a new total contract amount not to exceed $10,317,433.14; and
2. Approve Change Order No. 2 with Mandeville Modular in the amount of $1,239,668 for structural steel cost increases; and
3. Authorize additional project contingencies in the amount of $214,420, increasing the total project budget for the modular units to $10,531,853.14; and
4. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to expend the contingency fund, if necessary, to complete the project.
City Manager's Comments
The City Manager recommends approval. This will provide for additional contingency subject to the City Manager review and approval of construction costs. One of the major unknowns at this time is the construction for the cost for the site development.
Executive Summary
The development of the City’s Navigation Center has incurred additional expenses totaling $1,540,888.14 in change orders from Mandeville Modular, exceeding the
Packet Page. 213
3 0
4 8
contingency budget by $224,406.14. These change orders resulted from inflation- related cost increases for steel that occurred during the design process (Change Order 2), and the inclusion of additional design enhancements directed by the City (Change Order 3). To maintain the design development progress of the project, the City approved Change Order 3 utilizing the existing contingency budget while Change Order 2 was still undergoing review. Due to the insufficient contingency funding to absorb both change orders, Change Order 2 now requires Council approval. To fully cover the costs of Change Order 2, Amendment No. 1 increases the agreement’s not- to-exceed amount by $224,406.14. Additionally, staff recommend an additional contingency of $214,420 as a separate budget allocation for any future unforeseen costs. Combined, these two amounts increase the total project contingency from 15% to 20%. These increases have no impact on the City’s General Fund; Amendment No. 1 will be funded by the Inland Empire Health Plan Grant (IEHP), and the additional contingency by the Molina Healthcare Grant, both of which are already allocated to the Navigation Center’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) development budget.
Background
The SB HOPE Campus, also known as the Navigation Center, is a 200-bed hybrid congregate/non-congregate shelter that serves as a cornerstone of the City’s strategy to address homelessness. The facility will provide interim housing, recuperative care, and an extensive range of onsite supportive services designed to promote stability and self-sufficiency, including case management services, homeless diversion programs, and workforce development programs.
To support the design and construction of the SB HOPE Campus, a total of $21,970,382 in restricted grant funds has been allocated to the project’s overall development budget. Of this amount, $11,810,624.13 has been spent and/or obligated through contracts and purchase orders, resulting in a remaining available budget of $10,159,757.87. It is important to note that this figure represents only the approved funding that is currently available for development-related expenses; it does not include funding for operations or other administrative-related costs.

Mandeville Modular Contract
On December 4, 2024, the Mayor and City Council approved a hybrid Design Services and Goods Purchase Agreement with Mandeville Modular in the amount of $10,093,027 using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. This agreement combines a traditional Design Services Agreement with a Goods Purchase Agreement, where Mandeville Modular is both the project designer for the SB HOPE Campus and the modular manufacturer. Of the contract amount, $8,776,545 is for the design and modular manufacturing costs of the campus and $1,316,482 is for a 15% project contingency. The purpose of the project’s contingency is to cover unforeseen expenses and to provide the City with additional flexibility in exploring expanded design and engineering options that may increase the overall costs. Since the contingency budget for this project utilizes ARPA funds, the contingency amount was incorporated directly into the agreement itself so that these funds would be formally obligated by December 31, 2024, as required by the United States Treasury. The agreement with Mandeville Modular is set to expire on December 31, 2025, unless otherwise amended.
Change Orders
During the design development phase of the SB HOPE Campus, inflation and other market forces affecting the supply and demand for domestic steel resulted in a 30% cost increase for these materials. These increased costs resulted in Change Order 2 totaling $1,239,668. In addition, City staff identified opportunities to enhance the project by adding a flexible space to support expanded onsite services and by enlarging the security screening and intake area for improved functionality. These enhancements resulted in Change Order 3 totaling $301,220.14. To maintain the design development progress of the project, the City approved Change Order 3 utilizing the existing contingency budget while Change Order 2 was still undergoing review. Currently, there are insufficient funds to approve Change Order 2 without a contract amendment, which now requires Council approval. In total, the project has incurred $1,540,888.14 in change orders, which exceeds the existing 15% contingency budget by $224,406.14.

Discussion
Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Mandeville Modular extends the term of the agreement through December 31, 2026, and increases the agreement’s not-to-exceed amount by $224,406.14. This raises the contingency budget that was incorporated

into the original agreement to $1,540,888.14 and brings the total contract not-to- exceed amount to $10,317,433.14. This additional contract funding will fully fund the outstanding change order and help ensure project completion.
Staff also recommend the allocation of $214,420 in additional project contingencies to absorb any future unforeseen costs. This additional contingency amount will be a separate budget allocation for the project and will only be utilized by the City Manager if necessary. When combined with the contingency amounts that are incorporated into the agreement, including the increase in Amendment No. 1, the total contingency amount for the project will be 20%. Mandeville Modular has stated that they do not have any other change orders pending for materials, and that all necessary components to complete the project have been procured, indicating that future change orders are unlikely.

Expenditure Strategy and Future Budget Actions
The City currently has a balance of $10,159,757.87 in available funding dedicated to the development of the SB HOPE Campus. Due to the multiple layers of funding sources associated with the project, each with their own rules and deadlines, it is important to weigh known and anticipated expenditure timeframes against expenditure deadlines. To fund both Amendment No. 1 and the separate project contingency, the City will utilize the IEHP and Molina Healthcare grants as follows:
Additional Project Funding
Project Component Funding Source Amount
Amendment No. 1 IEHP Grant $224,406.14
Separate Project Contingency Molina Healthcare Grant $214,420.00 Total Increase: $438,826.14
The IEHP Grant has an expenditure deadline of June 30, 2026, and the outstanding change order is an eligible expense under the grant terms. Utilizing this grant for

Amendment No. 1, which addresses the additional $224,406.14 in funding needed to pay the outstanding change order, will help ensure that the City meets the grant’s expenditure deadline.
The additional project contingency budget of $214,420.86 will be funded with the Molina Healthcare Grant. This grant has an expenditure deadline of March 4, 2027, and is eligible to be used for both construction and post-construction activities. As a result, this funding source provides for more flexibility in its utilization, allowing the City to more easily reallocate any unspent contingency funds from this source to other agreements in the development of the SB HOPE Campus.
Approval of Amendment No. 1 and the additional project contingency allocation will increase the project budget for the modular units by $438,826.14, for a new total project budget of $10,531,853.14. As a result, the remaining available development budget for the Navigation Center will be $9,720,931.73. The City anticipates that these remaining funds will be fully utilized by the contract award for a general contractor, who will perform the on-site improvements for the SB HOPE Campus, and through a contract amendment with CREDE Construction Advisory in order to continue their construction management and inspection services. City staff are also exploring other funding sources for the development budget in the event that additional funds are needed.
Project Timeline Update
The City is currently anticipating for the project to be completed prior to December 31, 2026. The next major milestone will be the contract award for a general contractor; currently, City staff are drafting a formal request for bids for the procurement of a general contractor, which is scheduled to be released on November 6, 2025, with an anticipated contract award date in January 2026.
Following the selection of a general contractor and the commencement of on-site construction, the modular units will finish production and are anticipated to be delivered to the site in April or May 2026. Once delivered, the general contractor will perform the final installation of the units, including anchoring the modular units to the foundation, performing the utility hookups, and completing a “punchlist” of any final corrections.
This is anticipated to last through October 2026. Additionally, the General Contractor will perform the final site improvements such as concrete paving, landscaping, and irrigation installation, which are expected to be completed in December 2026.
Modular Unit Manufacturing Update
The modular units are currently in full production at Mandeville Modular’s Palmdale facility. The non-congregate units are the furthest along in production, with drywall and plumbing being installed. On the following pages are pictures showing the status of the modular unit manufacturing at Mandeville Modular’s Palmdale facility. The pictures were taken by CREDE Construction Advisory during an inspection visit on October 21, 2025.

2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Mandeville Modular aligns with Key Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life. The successful completion of the SB HOPE Campus will provide the City’s unhoused population with interim housing, recuperative care, and an extensive range of onsite supportive services designed to promote stability and self-sufficiency.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact associated with this item is $438,827, which will be funded by $224,406.14 in IEHP Grant Funds for Amendment No. 1 and $214,420.86 in Molina Healthcare Grant Funds for the separate project contingency allocation. There is sufficient budget available in the FY25/26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget under the Navigation Center CIP project to fully cover the costs associated with this item’s actions.

who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
(4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work: Provided, That if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, Docusign Envelope ID: 6E7DF8BD-76C4-4750-AB5D-400F7E2F59F9

The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.
The applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government contracts and federally assisted construction contracts pursuant to the Executive Order and will carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by the administering agency or the Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart D of the Executive Order. In addition, the applicant agrees that if it fails or refuses to comply with these undertakings, the administering agency may take any or all of the following actions: Cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part this grant (contract, loan, insurance, guarantee); refrain from extending any further assistance to the applicant under the program with respect to which the failure or refund occurred until satisfactory assurance of future compliance has been received from such applicant; and refer the case to the Department of Justice for appropriate legal proceedings.
