PUBLIC HEARING
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: April 15, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Gabriel Elliott, Director of Community Development & Housing Department: Community Development & Housing
Subject: Continuation of the Public Hearing of March 18, 2026 - Short Term Rentals (All Wards)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Hold a Public Hearing; and

2. Introduce and read by title only and waive further reading of Ordinance No. MC- 1660 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopting a regulatory program which would amend Section 19.02.050 (Basic Provisions – Definitions) and Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) for short-term and vacation rentals in the City of San Bernardino; or

19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) banning short term and vacation rentals in the City of San Bernardino; or

4. Take no action on the matter.

City Manager's Comments
This is a continuation of the Public Hearing.

Packet Page. 31

Community Development & Housing Department staff have provided two possible ordinances based on previous City Council action and direction. A third option is to take no action.

After reviewing the options and advantages of each option, I recommend moving forward with the regulatory option which would be consistent with the Planning Commission action. I understand that there are concerns with code enforcement.

Under either a regulatory or ban the City would have code enforcement. I believe that this would be an additional code to regulate and would not be designated to one officer.

I recommend that if we see a code enforcement issue we reevaluate next year.

In my experience the use of the outside company will be used as an added function on this code enforcement function.

In addition, the City will initiate charging TOT to short-term rentals consistent with the current TOT regulations by the end of the Fiscal Year.

Executive Summary
The consideration of a Short-Term Rental program was continued from the City Council meeting of March 18, 2026, to allow staff to present a Regulatory Program to initiate a 2-Year Pilot Program at the direction of the City Council. This report includes how other cities in the Southern California and the Inland Empire have addressed short- term rentals in their communities along with a collection method for TOT consistent with the San Bernardino Municipal Code.

Also, in response to City Council concerns, Deckard Technologies will honor the amount on the contract agreed upon last year.

Also, additional information has been provided identifying how proposed permit fees were reached and information on what other selected cities are doing with regulations and assessments.

In the past, when this item was presented to the City Council, staff had recommended prohibiting Short Term Rentals within the city’s high fire prone areas. Most of the properties in the fire prone areas are zone RE (Residential Estate) and RL (Residential Low). The same recommendation will apply should the Mayor and City Council wish to adopt Ordinance 1660.

Background
Statewide, STRs are a part of California’s tourism market; however when left unregulated, they can lead to negative effects, such as excessive noise and parking problems within existing residential neighborhoods. As such, many communities have recently adopted or proposed restrictions on STRs. Restrictions can include establishing designated areas for STRs, limiting the number of days a year a property can be rented, or banning STRs entirely.

San Bernardino has received numerous complaints about residents leasing their

Packet Page. 32

3 2
9 0
residential properties to travelers and for weekend retreats as short-term rentals.

Common complaints assert that the rentals cause conditions that degrade the quality of residential neighborhoods. These conditions include noise, disturbances, parking problems, property damage, and litter (amongst other things).

The City has received five (5) complaints (CRMs) over the last four years, mostly to the Police Department, regarding Short-Term Rental operations in the city. The nature of the complaints include the following:
Parking violations and blocked driveways in surrounding neighborhoods Public drinking and lewd acts in vehicles
Fights in the streets and disturbances with neighbors
Loud music from residences and attendee vehicles
Arguments and confrontations with nearby residents
Reports of attendees being charged admission
Leaving alcohol bottles/cans and/or trash in the neighborhood, streets, gutters, on neighbor’s properties
The general locations of the properties identified are as follows:
400 Block of S D St – 2 CRMs
500 Block of Edgerton Dr – 1 CRM
400 Block of Edgerton Dr – 1 CRM
6000 Block of Ashton St – numerous complaints received (all of the bullet point issues noted above by PD were noted by neighbors of this property) Edgerton Dr., and Ashton Str., properties have especially been identified as “problem” locations by the Police Department.

The City’s Municipal Code (SBMC) does not specifically address short-term rentals. However, a commercial use is generally prohibited in residential zones, unless specifically permitted. Because the SBMC does not expressly prohibit or allow short-term rentals, the issue of the SBMC’s intent is disputed by residential property owners who wish to lease to tourists and/or retreatants for short stays.

The City of San Bernardino does not currently have an ordinance that expressly regulates STRs and has experienced the negative effects of excessive noise, parking problems and discarded trash on surrounding properties, resulting in numerous complaints, creating a threat to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the community.

The convenience and marketability of online Short-Term Rental websites such as Airbnb.com, Homeaway.com, and VRBO.com have encouraged City property owners (and leaseholders) to rent residential properties to tourists and other visitors on a short-term basis.

On December 12, 2023, the Planning Commission, by a unanimous vote, adopted Resolution No. 2023-043PC forwarding a recommendation (Attachment 4) that the Mayor and City Council approve Development Code Amendment 23-01, amending Section 19.02.050 (Basic Provisions – Definitions) and Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) in order to establish a Short-Term Rental Program in the City of San Bernardino. The Planning Commission also found that Development Code Amendment 23-01 was exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act.

On February 21, 2024, staff had presented Development Code Amendment 23-01 (Short-Term Rental Program) to the Mayor and City Council, with a recommendation to adopt a Short-Term rental program and approve Development Code Amendment 23-01 amending Section 19.02.050 (Basic Provisions – Definitions) and Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) in order to establish a Short-Term Rental Program in the City of San Bernardino. Staff was directed to bring back further analysis on short-term rentals and program enforcement.

On June 5, 2024, when the item was brought back to the City Council as directed, the Council, by a narrow majority, voted to ban short-term rentals in the city and requested that staff bring back an enforcement plan.

In 2024, when the item was brought to the Mayor and City Council, the following cost analysis was provided to Council:

On February 18, 2026, staff presented two Ordinances for consideration, Ord. MC- 1660 adopting a regulatory program, and Ord. MC-1661 banning short-term rentals, along with Development Code amendment 23-01 (Short-Term Rental Program) to the Mayor and City Council, with a recommendation to adopt a Short-Term Rental program and approve Development Code Amendment 23-01 amending Section

19.02.050 (Basic Provisions – Definitions) and Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) in order to establish a Short-Term Rental Program in the City of San Bernardino. Staff was directed to bring back a revised regulatory program that would serve as a 2-year pilot program for short- term rentals.

On March 18, 2026, the item was continued to allow staff to provide additional information regarding regulating or prohibiting STRs in the city residential districts.

Discussion
To formally address the issue of short-term rentals in the City and provide the City Council with options, two separate ordinances have been drafted for consideration.

Definition - A Short-Term Rental (STR) refers to a residential dwelling unit that is offered or provided to a paying guest by a Short-Term Rental operator for less than thirty (30) consecutive nights. The term " Short-Term Rental" only applies to residentially zoned properties and does not include a hotel, motel, inn, or bed and breakfast inn.

Registration Fees
The proposed regulatory program includes an annual registration/permit fee. Based on a survey of comparable jurisdictions, estimated fees range from $500–$675 (without inspection) and $600–$775 (with inspection). The ordinance does not establish a specific fee amount. Instead, it authorizes the City Council to adopt fees by separate resolution. As such, the City Council has not formally set the fee at this time and may do so concurrently with ordinance adoption or direct staff to return with a formal fee study and recommended fee schedule.

Ordinance MC-1660: Short-Term Rental Regulatory Program establishes a regulatory program for short-term rentals that includes property identification, application and permit process, guideline enforcement, and TOT collection.

Advantages of a Regulatory Program
Implementing a regulatory program for short-term rentals allows the City to bring structure, accountability, and transparency to the community. Clear regulations, such as permitting requirements, occupancy limits, safety standards, and tax collection, help ensure that short-term rentals operate responsibly and on a level playing field with traditional lodging providers. A formal program also enables the city to collect fees that can be used for cost recovery services and reinvested into community services.

In addition, a regulatory framework helps protect neighborhood quality of life while still

Packet Page. 35

3 2
9 0
allowing property owners to participate in the short-term rental economy. By establishing rules related to noise, parking, and property management, the City can address common community concerns and reduce nuisance issues before they escalate. When managed effectively, a short-term rental program can support local tourism, generate additional revenue, and balance economic opportunity with neighborhood stability.

Most importantly, a regulatory program will allow the city to collect fees from the 108 properties that are currently listing on various hosting platforms.

If the Mayor and City Council chose to adopt this Ordinance, staff’s recommendation includes allowing Short Term Rentals in residential zones with the exception of those properties that are in high fire prone areas, based on the city’s zoning map. Those properties are typically zoned RE (Residential Estate) and RL (Residential Low). Short- Term Rentals would be allowed in RS (Residential Suburban), RU (Residential Urban), RM (Residential Medium Density), RHM (Residential Medium High) and RH (Residential High) zoning districts.

Ordinance MC-1661: Short-Term Rental Ban
Establishes a ban on short-term rentals that includes property identification, enforcement with fines and TOT collection.

With a ban in place, it is generally believed that the City would no longer need to rely on various interrelated code provisions that together proscribe vacation rentals. The City will adopt and implement specific revisions to the SBMC that would ban short-term or vacation rentals outright in residential zones.

It is also believed that a clear prohibition would be more effective in deterring violations because it would create less confusion among homeowners. However, a ban would not alter the SBMC’s current implicit characterization of short-term rentals as inconsistent with the City’s residential land use regulations, and most importantly, the city will not collect registration and other associated fees relative to STRs.

Disadvantages of a Ban
A short-term rental ban has some disadvantages. First, it would restrict homeowners’ use of their own properties. Banning short-term rentals could eliminate uses that do not otherwise serve as a nuisance to neighboring properties and would restrict the rights of homeowners who have rented responsibly.

Second, it is unclear whether an outright ban would be effective because of the challenges with consistent enforcement.

Enforcement and Fine Structure
The proposed ordinance includes enforcement provisions; however, specific fine amounts and tiered escalation penalties are not currently codified within the ordinance text. The comparative analysis indicates that many jurisdictions impose fines of

Packet Page. 36

3 2
9 0
approximately $1,000 per day for operating without a permit, with some cities utilizing escalating penalties for repeat violations. Should the City Council wish to implement a stricter enforcement framework, including tiered or escalating fines, additional ordinance language or amendments to the City’s administrative citation schedule would be required.

Third, it would close a potential source of revenue for the city with the registration of properties and subsequent enforcement actions necessary.

Associated Costs
A ban on short-term rentals will not eliminate the City’s enforcement costs. To effectively manage short-term rentals, whether a ban is in place or there is a regulatory program, the City has engaged the services of Deckard Technologies, a company that utilizes data science expertise to assist local governments with managing compliance activity and enforcement, such as short-term rentals properties.

Deckard Technologies utilizes Rentalscape, a platform that accurately tracks activity within the City of San Bernardino to identify the exact addresses of the STR listings within the City limits. This enables accurate display of STR activity within the City and its community districts and ensures that everyone is held accountable. Currently, Deckard Technologies has identified approximately 108 properties in the city that are advertised through the various rental platforms. See table “N” below.

This indicates that there are at least 108 properties that are operating in the city without a permit, registration, or inspection. With regulation in place, permit holders will follow all guidelines and ordinances, pay their permit fees, and contribute to the TOT collection. Rentalscape groups listings and calculates statistics on a per-property basis. By mapping the exact location of properties, Rentalscape avoids double- counting activity. Knowing the exact location of STR properties enables compliance, enforcement, tax collection, and complaint management activities.

There are costs associated for monitoring and tracking short-term rentals through Deckard Technologies (Attachment 5). The contract for Rentalscape only, which includes identification, monitoring, and compliance letters; is $7,500 annually. The contract for Rentalscape, Online Registration, and TOT registration and collection is $16,500 annually. Should the City opt into additional services through Deckard for short-term rentals, the annual cost could be up to $25,000. These costs will come out of the General Fund and can only be replenished by the permit fees associated with a regulatory program and/or the fines assessed to those operating in violation of the Ordinance.

The cost of enforcing a Short-Term Rental (STR) program can be evaluated at multiple levels depending on the scope of services included. Direct program costs include the one dedicated Code Enforcement Officer time and the cost of the technology needed to monitor STRs. A more comprehensive estimate of enforcement costs may include additional operational expenses such as vehicle use, equipment, and administrative

Packet Page. 37

3 2
9 0
support. When these factors are considered, the fully loaded cost of enforcement is estimated at approximately $150,000–$165,000 annually. Police Department (PD) response costs are not included in this estimate. Activities such as noise complaints, disturbances, and general public safety responses fall within the Department’s existing core service responsibilities and are not considered incremental costs attributable solely to short-term rental activity. While other indirect costs (e.g., legal or administrative processing) may occur, they are expected to be minimal and are not anticipated to materially impact the overall cost of the program.

Below are examples of the type of services Deckard Technologies will provide to the city.

Example of data provided by Deckard Technologies – Table “M” Properties that may be currently listing on various platforms – Table “N”

Packet Page. 38

3 2
9 0
Take No Action
The option to take no action would mean that neither a ban nor regulatory program would be in place. However, staff believes that payment of TOT should still be an option. There would be costs associated with identifying who is currently running a short-term rental operation in the residential zone. There would be no revenue stream from registration of short-term rental locations.

Transient Occupancy Tax
Title 3 of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code (Revenue and Finance) addresses transient occupancy taxes. Section 3.55.010, definitions, provides the following definitions unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning:

HOTEL. A commercial establishment furnishing lodging space in exchange for monetary compensation. Every such establishment shall constitute a HOTEL for purposes of this chapter notwithstanding any advertising describing the facility as a hostelry, inn, motel, rooming house, tourist home or similar enterprise.

LODGING SPACE. One or more rooms used or intended to be used for dwelling or sleeping purposes.

OCCUPANCY. The use or possession, or the right to the use or possession, of a lodging space.

OPERATOR. The person who is the proprietor of a hotel. If an OPERATOR utilizes a managing agent who is not an employee, then such agent shall also constitute an OPERATOR for purposes of this chapter. Compliance with this chapter by either the

Packet Page. 39

3 2
9 0
principal or the managing agent shall constitute compliance by both.

PERSON. Any individual, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, social club, fraternal organization, joint stock company, corporation, estate, trust, business trust, receiver, trustee, syndicate or any other group or combination acting as a unit.

ROOM RENTAL. The total charge for lodging space.

TRANSIENT. A person who, for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days or less, exercises occupancy or is entitled to occupancy by reason of concession, permit, right of access, license or contract. Every such person shall constitute a TRANSIENT for purposes of this chapter until expiration of the 30-day period, unless such person has executed a written contract with the operator to provide for occupancy in excess of 30 consecutive calendar days and the contract cannot be terminated without providing at least 30 days’ advance notice. In determining whether a person is a TRANSIENT, portions of calendar days shall be counted as full days and uninterrupted periods of time extending both prior and subsequent to the effective date of this chapter may be considered. Transient Lodging Tax. Per Section 3.55.020(A), each transient is subject to and shall pay a transient lodging tax in the amount of 10% of the room rental charged by the operator.

Based on the above definitions, staff believes that the existing TOT language applies to short term and vacation rentals and will begin charging TOT.

Development Code Amendment
To complete the changes needed within the Development Code, an Amendment will need to be processed: The proposed DCA will amend Chapter 19.02 (Basic Provisions), Section 19.02.050 (Definitions) of the Development Code to add definitions for those terms uses specifically within the Short-Term Rental Program (Exhibit A, EXHIBIT A1). EXHIBIT A is attached to Ordinance 1660 and EXHIBIT A1 is attached to Ordinance 1661. If the Mayor and City Council adopt Ordinance, it will prohibit Short-Term rentals in the Residential Estate (RE) and Residential Low (RL) zoning districts which are areas of the city prone the high fire risks.

The Development Code Amendment will also amend Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones), Table 04.01 (Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses) to add short-term rentals as permitted use within specific single-family and multi-family residential zones (Exhibit B, EXHIBIT B1). Exhibit B will allow STRs in the RS, RU, RM, and RMH zoning designations. Exhibit B1 will prohibit STRs in all residential zones.

Alternatively, the Development Code will also amend Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones), Table O4.01 (Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses) to add short-term rentals as a prohibited use will all single-family and multi-family residential zones (Exhibit C, EXHIBIT C1). Exhibit C will allow STRs in the RS, RU, RM and RMH zoning designations. Exhibit C1 will prohibit STRs in all residential zones.

Implementation
Regulatory Program - Based on a survey staff conducted of cities in Southern California and the Inland Empire that have strong Short-Term Rental programs, staff crafted a regulatory program enforcing participation requirements, permit processing, fees/fines, and TOT collection. (Attachment 6).

Specifically, the city samples Big Bear City, County of San Bernardino, City of Los Angeles, City of Palm Springs, and the City of Santa Monica, a host of topics ranging from registration permits/business license requirements, fees, home sharing vs vacation rentals, density, stay length, enforcement, and TOT, and hosting platform. Most cities and the county required annual licenses. The table below provides a summary of findings. Please see Table below.

The remainder of the information gathered is included in attachment 6, SoCal City Program Survey.

The regulations governing short-term rentals will become effective 30 days following second reading and adoption of Ordinance MC-1660 by the Mayor and City Council. All properties currently operating as a Short-Term Rental location will be required to apply with the City through an application process, be issued a permit and register for the payment of TOT. Any short-term rentals operating outside of the regulatory program will need to cease their operations and will be subject to any applicable violations and will be responsible for paying associated TOT to the City.

If the City Council adopts Ordinance 1661 and bans short-term rentals in all residential zones, any short-term rentals operating in the city will need to cease their operations and will be subject to any applicable violations and will be responsible for paying associated TOT to the City. Deckard Technology with their Rentalscape software will identify the properties that are listed in the city for rental and those that leased their properties for rental. Slides 10 and 11 of the accompanying PowerPoint presentation identifies how the technology can be applied to the City of San Bernardino.

Ban - If the Mayor and City Council adopts Ordinance 1661 to ban short-term rentals in all residential zoning districts, any short-term rentals operating in the city will need to cease their operations and the City will send all properties operating as a Short- Term Rental a letter notifying them of the ban and will provide operators with 60 days to comply or face enforcement measures.

Property owners of short-term rentals, whether within a regulatory program or a ban, will be responsible for reporting and paying into the City’s Transient Lodging Tax/Transit Oriented Tax (TOT).

Strategic Targets and Goals
A Development Code Amendment regulating or banning Short Term or vacation rentals is consistent with the City’s General Plan and aligns with Key Target Goal No. 3: Improved Quality of Life and, more specifically, 3a: Improve the City’s appearance, cleanliness, and attractiveness. Specifically, a ban will update the Development Code to prohibit short term and vacation rentals in all residential zones, while regulating the land use will provide the City with the tools that will ensure consistency with the City’s land use designations as required by the City’s General Plan.

Fiscal Impact
Anticipated Transit Occupancy Taxes associated with this program has the potential to contribute up to $324,000, annually to the General Fund. Total enforcement costs can be conservatively estimated to be approximately $165,000 leaving an annual net positive impact to the General Fund of approximately $159,000.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,

Packet Page. 48

Ordinance MC-1660
3 SECTION 3. Finding of Facts

Finding No. 1: The proposed regulatory program for Short Term and vacation rentals is consistent with the General Plan.

Finding of Fact: Implementation of a regulatory program is consistent with the following findings:

Land Use Goal 2.1: Preserve and enhance San Bernardino’s unique Neighborhoods.

Land Use Goal 2.2: Promote development that integrates with and minimizes impacts on surrounding land uses.

It is acknowledged that San Bernardino contains a wide range of neighborhoods accommodating an assortment of lifestyles. Each neighborhood has, or can have, its own unique character that is a source of pride for the residents. Neighborhood characteristics are defined by many factors: what the neighborhood looks like, what it feels like, and how well it is maintained. But more importantly, it is an image in the minds of those who live and work there and in the perceptions of those who visit the neighborhoods.

Although the rise of short -term rentals within the City has generated discussions as to their impact on the general character of neighborhoods in which they may be located and the cost of city services to monitor them, the Planning Commission does not believe that a ban on short term rentals is the solution to the problem. The Planning Commission believes that regulating short term rentals will be more productive and would generate the revenue source necessary to enforce any actions related to short term rentals.

An Ordinance that supports a regulatory process for Short Term Rentals is more likely to preserve the integrity and character of the residential neighborhoods in which they are located, regulate negative impacts such as excessive noise, littering, loitering on the residential neighborhoods and the community at large , and generate revenue derived from registration and licensing fees to assist with enforcement these uses.

Finding No. 2: The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.

Finding of Fact: The adoption of an Ordinance regulating Short Term and vacation rentals is in the interest or furtherance of the public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare than banning them. Regulating Short

Packet Page. 49

Ordinance MC-1660
4 Term and vacation rentals will allow owners of properties in the City to legally utilize their homes or properties for Short Term Rentals in a city that may not have adequate supply of hotel and motel rooms for large events. The transient occupancy taxes collected will also boost the city’s General Fund revenue.

SECTION 4. Notice of Exemption: The Planning Division of the Community Development and Housing Department is hereby directed to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk of the County of San Bernardino within five (5) working days of final approval certifying the City’s co mpliance with the California Environmental Quality Act in approving Development Code Amendment 25-09.

SECTION 5. Severability: If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause or phrase in this Ordinance 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 is declared unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective.

SECTION 6. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective 30 days from the date of adoption.

APPROVED and ADOPTED by the Mayor and City Council this 15th day of April, 2026.

Short-Term and Vacation Rentals
by
Gabriel Elliott - Director of Community Development & Housing

Packet Page. 119

• On December 12, 2023, the Planning Commission, by a
unanimous vote, adopted Resolution No. 2023-043PC
forwarding a recommendation that the Mayor and City Council approve Development Code Amendment 23-01, amending
Section 19.02.050 (Basic Provisions – Definitions) and Chapter

19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) in order to establish a Short Term and Vacation Rental Program in the City of San Bernardino.

Background

Packet Page. 120

Background
 On February 21, 2024, staff took forward a recommendation to the Mayor and City Council for the adoption of a regulatory scheme for Short-Term Rentals.
 At the meeting, the City Council directed staff to conduct additional analysis on enforcement measures and the effects of a Short-Term Rental Program on the City’s housing market.
 On June 5, 2024, when the item was brought back to the City Council as directed, the Council, a narrow majority, banned short-term vacation rentals in the city, and requested staff bring back an enforcement plan.

Packet Page. 121

Background
The City of San Bernardino does not currently have an ordinance that expressly regulates STRs and has experienced the negative effects of excessive noise, parking problems and discarded trash on surrounding properties, resulting in numerous complaints, creating a threat to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the community.

San Bernardino has received numerous complaints about residents leasing their residential properties to travelers and for weekend retreats as short-term vacation rentals. Common complaints assert that the rentals cause conditions that degrade the quality of residential neighborhoods.

Packet Page. 122

Background
 The City’s Municipal Code (SBMC) does not specifically address short-term and vacation rentals. However, a commercial use is generally prohibited in residential zones, unless specifically permitted. Because the SBMC does not expressly prohibit short- term vacation rentals, the issue of the SBMC’s intent is disputed by residential property owners who wish to lease to tourists and/or retreatants for short stays.

Packet Page. 123

SHORT TERM RENTAL PROGRAM
A Short-Term Rental program will ensure that the
use will be recognized as a bona fide land use in
the development code with a definition and
accompanying development standards. The City
will adopt and implement specific revisions to the
SBMC that would regulate the land use.

Packet Page. 124

SHORT TERM RENTAL BAN
With a ban in place, the City would no
longer need to rely on various interrelated
code provisions that together proscribe
vacation rentals. The City will adopt and
implement specific revisions to the SBMC
that would ban short-term vacation rentals
outright in residential zones.

Packet Page. 125

SHORT TERM RENTAL BAN
A clear prohibition may deter violations
because it would create less confusion
among homeowners. The proposed ban in
the city will prohibit STRs in the fire prone
areas of the city which will include
properties zoned RE (Residential Estate and
RL (Residential Low).

Packet Page. 126

SHORT TERM RENTAL BAN
To effectively ban short term rentals,
the city would first need to identify
those properties that are currently
engaged in the short-term rental
activities and officially notify them of
the ban.

Packet Page. 127

ASSOCIATED COSTS
 The city has engaged the services of Deckard Technologies, a company that utilizes data science expertise to assist local governments with managing compliance activity and enforcement, such as short-term rental (STR) properties.  Deckard Technologies will use Rentalscape platform to accurately track activity within the City of San Bernardino, to identify the exact addresses of the STR listings within the City limits.
 There are cost implications depending on the level of service required by the city. The contract for Rentalscape only, for the identification, monitoring, and compliance letters is $7,500, annually. Contract for Rentalscape, Online Registration and TOT for the above along with registration and TOT collection is $16,500 annually.

Packet Page. 130

ASSOCIATED COSTS
 The maps identified in slides 10 and 11 are products of Deckard Technology.

For $7,500, Deckard Technology will identify properties registered on the various platforms, determine how many days their ads are up, and match addresses to properties in the city.
 For the $16,500, Deckard Technologies will track, collect TOT, and remit to the city. Deckard will be available via phone should the Mayor and City Council have questions or comments about their services.

Packet Page. 131

TRANSIENT ORIENTED TAXES
Per Section 3.55.020(A), each transient is subject to
and shall pay a transient lodging tax in the amount
of 10% of the room rental charged by the operator.
Based on the definitions in Section 3.55.020(a),
staff believes that the existing TOT language applies
to short term rentals.

Packet Page. 132

GENERAL PLAN GOALS & POLICIES
 The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes goals and policies to guide future housing development, as follows:
 Land Use Goal 2.1: Preserve and enhance San Bernardino’s unique Neighborhoods.
 and Use Goal 2.2: Promote development that integrates with and minimizes impacts on surrounding land uses.

Packet Page. 133

KEY STRATEGIC TARGETS & GOALS
An Ordinance regulating or banning
Short Term and vacation rentals aligns
with Key Target Goal No. 3: Improved
Quality of Life and, more specifically, 3a:

Improve the City’s appearance,
cleanliness, and attractiveness.

Packet Page. 134

KEY STRATEGIC TARGETS & GOALS
Regulation will update the Development
Code to allow short term and vacation
rentals in all residential zones. The
amendment to the Development Code will
ensure consistency with the City’s land use
designations as required by the City’s
General Plan.

Packet Page. 135

KEY STRATEGIC TARGETS & GOALS
A ban will also update the Development
Code banning short term and vacation
rentals in the RE and RL residential zones.

The amendment to the Development Code
will ensure consistency with the City’s land
use designations as required by the City’s
General Plan.

Packet Page. 136

FISCAL IMPACTS
Transit Occupancy Tax associated with this
program has the potential to contribute up
to $324,000, annually. At same time, there
is a potential cost of up to $16,500 for a
program to monitor the locations of short
term and vacation rentals in the city.

Packet Page. 137

WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING
In response to Council concerns regarding
process and procedure for regulation and
enforcement, staff contacted the following
cities, and the County of San Bernardino:
Big Bear; Los Angeles; Palm Springs; Santa
Monica, and San Bernardino County.

Packet Page. 138

WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING
All the agencies require an annual license
fee ranging from $100.00 in Santa Monica to
$1000.00 in Palm Springs. A fee of $500 to
$600 had been proposed for San Bernardino.
All the cities also restrict the number of STR
licenses to no more than two.

Packet Page. 139

WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING
For violations, the City had proposed a fine
of $1000.00/day with no renewals after 3
violations. This fee is consistent with what
other agencies are assessing for violations.
Outdoor noise disrupting the peace is
generally prohibited between 10 pm and 7
am.

Packet Page. 140

WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING
Most agencies prohibit street parking or
parking on neighboring properties. Parking
must be on designated driveways.
Per State Law, ADUs are prohibited from
being utilized as ADUs.
Some jurisdictions require an initial
inspection followed by annual inspections.

Packet Page. 141

WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING
All jurisdictions contacted require payment
of TOT.
All agencies limit the number of occupants
per bedroom.
Length of stay is not regulated by most
jurisdictions.

enforcing STR regulations.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga utilizes two part-
time code officers to regulate their STR program.

The equivalent cost for one code enforcement
officer (I) in San Bernardino is $107,000, which
includes salary and benefits.

Packet Page. 143

SCOPE
City records indicate five (5) CRMs over the last four years for STRs.

There were CRMs at the 400 block of S D Street;
1 CRM at the 500 block of Edgerton Dr.
1 CRM at the 400 block of Edgerton Dr.

Several complaints at the 600 block of Ashton Str.

Packet Page. 144

SCOPE
 As necessary, the city will dedicate one code
enforcement officer specifically for this task but will rely on the resources of the entire department.

Packet Page. 145

CEQA
 The Planning Division conducted an environmental
evaluation in connection with proposed Ordinances and
concluded that it is exempt from CEQA under Section
15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of the CEQA
Guidelines because the proposed Ordinance to regulate or ban short term and vacation rental will not create significant effects on the environment as it regulates or prohibits short term rentals in all residential zones.

Packet Page. 146

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council take the following action:

1. Adopt Ordinance No. MC-XX-X, establishing a regulatory program for short term and vacation rentals in residential zones in the City of San Bernardino; or

2. Adopt Ordinance No. MC–XX-X banning short-term rentals in residential zones in the City of San Bernardino).

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: April 15, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Gabriel Elliott, Director of Community Development & Housing Department: Community Development & Housing
Subject: Adopt Resolution Imposing Liens on Certain Real Property to Recover Costs for Code Enforcement
Abatements (All Wards)
Recommendation:

City Manager's Comments
City Manager concurs in recommending approval.

Executive Summary
Chapter 8 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code (SBMC) requires Council approval to lien unpaid costs associated with Code Enforcement abatement of hazardous conditions. This allows the City to recover unpaid costs of abatement upon the respective parcels of land as they are shown upon the last available assessment roll.

The unpaid bills represent a General Fund impact in the amount of $41,064.03.

The City initiated abatement and securement of properties, followed up with proper billing provided to the owners and interested parties for costs incurred by the City. The billing notices also included the right to appeal said costs. Approval of the Resolution to lien the unpaid costs associated with these abatements is intended to recover the City costs paid for the abatement of the properties.

Background
On October 5, 2015, the Mayor and Common Council adopted Ordinance MC-1418, which repealed San Bernardino Municipal Code Chapters 3.68 and 8.27 and amended Chapter 8.30. On September 18, 2019, the Mayor and City Council adopted Ordinance MC-1521, which made further revisions to Chapter 8.30. These changes have streamlined the process of abating public nuisances on properties and imposing liens

Packet Page. 192

to enable the City to recover costs for abating nuisances.

Discussion
SBMC Section 8.30.050 requires adoption of a Resolution to assess unpaid costs of abatement as liens upon the respective parcels of land as they are shown on the last available assessment roll.

All affected property owners identified on the Abatement Assessments list have been notified through regular and certified mail of the respective abatement costs per SBMC

8.30.023. Further, affected property owners were also issued a Notice of Summary Abatement with the option to schedule a hearing per SBMC 8.30.045 and have also been advised of their right to appeal said costs within ten (10) days, or to pay the costs within 45 days of notice per SBMC Section 8.30.030, 8.30.040 and 8.30.041. To date, hearings have not been requested, and the costs are currently outstanding. As such, staff recommends adopting the Resolution to assess the unpaid costs of the nuisance abatements.

The total of outstanding fees for Abatement Assessment, including warrant abatements, emergency abatements and demolitions, is $41,064.03. If property owners come forward to pay their costs prior to the council meeting, their properties will be removed from Attachment 2.

Strategic Targets and Goals
The request to impose liens to recover costs for Code Enforcement abatements aligns with Key Target No. 1: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity and Key Target No. 4: Economic Growth & Development. Imposing liens to resolve public nuisances would ensure the City receives revenue back into the Community Development & Housing Department and that the City continues to strive towards being clean and attractive.

Fiscal Impact
The proposed collection of liens will increase General Fund revenues by $41,064.03.

These costs have already been absorbed by the General Fund and will be reimbursed incrementally as liens are repaid either through the escrow process when properties are sold or as assessments collected via the County tax roll.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2026-037, imposing liens on certain real property located within the City of San Bernardino for the costs of public nuisance abatements.

Attachments
