Executive Summary
The Mayor and City Council are being asked to conduct a quasi-judicial public hearing regarding the appeal of the Red Tag Closure Notice and Red Tag Correction Notice issued April 29, 2026, for the property located at 570 North H Street, San Bernardino, California, commonly known as Sunshine Motel.

This appeal concerns only the Red Tag Closure Notice and Red Tag Correction Notice.

It does not decide any separate motel operator permit, business registration, criminal, nuisance, or licensing issue.

The appealed notices identify alleged unsafe conditions, including unpermitted construction, unpermitted electrical alterations, impaired means of egress, ventilation concerns, missing smoke alarms, and related building and fire-safety issues.

This appeal will be heard as a quasi-judicial public hearing pursuant to San Bernardino Municipal Code (“SBMC”) § 2.58.120, Resolution No. 2018-88, SBMC Chapter 2.64, California Building Code (“CBC”) § 1.8.8.1, and other applicable law. SBMC § 2.58.120 authorizes the Mayor and City Council to adopt rules of procedure for quasi-judicial hearings by resolution, and Resolution No. 2018-88 establishes the City’s procedures for quasi-judicial hearings before the Mayor and City Council.

Packet Page. 34
After receiving testimony and evidence, the Mayor and City Council may affirm, reverse, modify, or continue the Red Tag Closure Notice and Red Tag Correction Notice and adopt written findings and a written decision.

Background
A. Factual Background
On April 29, 2026, City staff, including Building Inspector Elias Rebollar, entered the property located at 570 North H Street, San Bernardino, California 92410-3150 (“Property”) in conjunction with a law enforcement operation conducted pursuant to a search warrant obtained and executed by the San Bernardino Police Department. The search warrant provided for a search of the front office, as well as any part of the premises open to the public and unoccupied rooms. The search warrant also provided for Code Enforcement Officers to accompany Peace Officers for the purpose of enforcement of any City code violations following the execution of the warrant. SBMC §§ 9.92.020 and

9.93.015 define an Enforcement Officer as any code enforcement officer or other city employee or agent of the City with the authority to enforce any provision of the municipal code.

During the inspection of the Property, numerous building, electrical, and life-safety concerns were observed. The inspection was limited to conditions readily observable at the time of entry.

1. Conditions Observed
Electrical
• Numerous electrical alterations and additions appeared to have been installed without permits or approval from the Building and Safety Division. • The observed extensive electrical alterations were not limited to a single installation but were present in multiple areas of the property, indicating a pattern of unpermitted electrical work for which no approved permits or inspections could be verified.
• The extent of the electrical work observed prevented verification that the electrical systems had been installed in compliance with applicable code requirements.
• Due to the lack of permits, inspections, and approvals, the safety and code compliance of the electrical systems could not be confirmed. • The electrical installations, alterations, and additions were in violation of CBC § 105.1.

Packet Page. 35

2. Unpermitted Construction
• An office area was observed that appeared to have been constructed without required permits and approvals.
• Additional enclosed living/sleeping quarters and enclosed connections between motel structures and the primary residence/office area were observed for which permit records could not be located.
• Permit records available at the time of inspection did not demonstrate approval of these additions or occupancy changes.
• The construction is a violation of CBC § 105.1.

3. Means of Egress and Life Safety
• Windows designated for emergency escape and rescue openings had been secured in a manner that impaired normal operation in violation of California Fire Code (“CFC”) § 1009.
• The windows didn’t open to allow natural ventilation and air changes as required by CBC § 1202.
• An egress door serving the residence/office area was obstructed and did not provide unobstructed egress in violation of CFC § 1009. • Required smoke alarms were not observed in locations where required in violation of CBC § 907.2.11.
• Additional life-safety concerns were identified and referred to the appropriate agencies, including the Fire Department.

Based upon the conditions observed, the Building and Safety Division determined that the structure contained extensive unpermitted electrical installations and unpermitted building modifications for which compliance with applicable building and electrical codes could not be verified. Photos of the conditions have been included.

The electrical systems had not been reviewed, inspected, or approved through the required permitting process. Due to the scope of the observed work and the inability to verify compliance or safe installation, the structure was determined to constitute an unsafe condition requiring immediate enforcement action.

Accordingly, both San Bernardino Building and Safety Division and San Bernardino County Fire Marshal red-tagged the structure for numerous code violations, deeming it unsafe to occupy until the corrections are made. The Red Tag Notice and Correction Notice were issued restricting occupancy and use of the structure except for authorized corrective work performed under valid permits. The San Bernardino County Fire Marshal Packet Page. 36
issued a notice, with photos, dated May 5, 2026, regarding the red tag and the violations.

B. Property and Parties
The subject property is located at 570 North H Street, San Bernardino, California 92410- 3150, APN numbers 0134-051-14-0000 and 0134-051-28-0000, and is commonly known as Sunshine Motel. Ganpati Hospitality, LLC is the property owner and James Vernon Bird is the operator of the Sunshine Motel. Prakash Joshi, Mina Joshi, James Vernon Bird, and Aveika LLC dba Sunshine Motel are listed as appellants or interested parties through counsel.

C. Appeal and Hearing Setting
The City received appeal requests from the appellants through counsel. Appellant Bird submitted an appeal on May 14, 2026. Appellants Ganpati Hospitality LLC, Prakash Joshi, and Mina Joshi submitted an appeal on May 18, 2026.

The appeal hearing was originally scheduled before an independent hearing officer on June 18, 2026. The hearing was not able to proceed because a stipulation for the appeal to be heard by the hearing officer was not obtained.

The City Clerk scheduled This red-tag appeal for a quasi-judicial public hearing before the Mayor and City Council on July 15, 2026. Under SBMC § 2.64.060, upon the timely filing of a notice of appeal in proper form, the City Clerk schedules the matter for public hearing on the City Council agenda and gives notice to the appellant and affected City parties.

D. Notice
Notice of the quasi-judicial public hearing was provided through direct notice to the appellants and affected City parties, publication/public notice, and agenda posting. For a regular meeting, the Brown Act requires an agenda to be posted at least 72 hours before the meeting with a brief general description of each item, meeting time, and location.

Discussion
A. Procedural Posture and Council Role
This red-tag appeal is before the Mayor and City Council as a quasi-judicial public hearing. The City Council will receive testimony and evidence, consider the administrative record, apply the applicable law to the facts presented, and issue a decision affirming, modifying, reversing, or continuing the appealed action.

For purposes of this hearing, the Mayor and City Council will sit as the local appeals board, as applicable, to hear and decide the appeal of orders, decisions, and determinations made by the enforcing agency relative to the application and interpretation Packet Page. 37
of applicable building standards and other regulations governing construction, use, maintenance, and change of occupancy pursuant to CBC §1.8.8.1.

B. Quasi-Judicial Hearing Procedure
Resolution No. 2018-88 establishes the procedure for quasi-judicial hearings before the Mayor and City Council. The procedure includes opening the hearing, administering an oath to persons who wish to testify, disclosing ex parte communications, receiving the staff report, receiving appellant testimony, receiving public testimony, allowing rebuttal, closing the hearing, deliberating, voting, and memorializing the decision in writing.

The Resolution also states that quasi-judicial hearings are intended to be informal and accessible to the public, that formal rules of evidence and discovery do not apply, and that hearings should be recorded by audio and/or video device, as available.

C. Issues Before the Council
The issues before the Mayor and City Council are limited to the appeal of the Red Tag Closure Notice and Red Tag Correction Notice and whether the notices should be affirmed, modified, reversed, or continued. The Council may consider whether the evidence supports the Building and Safety Division’s determination that the property contained unsafe conditions requiring occupancy restrictions and corrective work before re-occupancy or reduction of restrictions.

The conditions identified by the Building and Safety Division include extensive unpermitted electrical work, unpermitted construction or occupancy changes, impaired emergency escape/rescue openings, obstructed egress, ventilation concerns, missing smoke alarms, and related life-safety issues.

D. Staff Analysis
Based on the record before the City, staff recommends that the Mayor and City Council deny the appeal and affirm the Red Tag Closure Notice and Red Tag Correction Notice.

The observed unpermitted electrical work, unpermitted construction, inability to verify permit and inspection approvals, egress and life-safety concerns, and related unsafe conditions support the Building and Safety Division’s determination that the property should remain subject to occupancy and use restrictions until required corrective work is completed under valid permits and approved inspections.

The Council may also determine, based on the evidence received at the hearing, that modification of the notices is appropriate. Any modification should clearly identify the scope of permitted access or occupancy, required permits, required inspections, responsible parties, deadlines, and conditions for re-occupancy or reduction of restrictions.

Strategic Targets and Goals
Packet Page. 38
This item aligns with the City’s goals of protecting public health and safety, improving quality of life, and ensuring responsible code compliance. The quasi-judicial hearing process provides property owners, operators, affected parties, and the public an opportunity to present evidence and testimony while allowing the City Council to review Building and Safety enforcement actions in a transparent public setting.

Fiscal Impact
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with conducting the quasi-judicial public hearing other than staff time and administrative costs associated with noticing, preparing the hearing packet, presenting the matter, and maintaining the administrative record.

If the Red Tag Closure Notice and Red Tag Correction Notice are affirmed, additional staff time may be required for permit review, inspection, follow-up enforcement, and related administrative processing. Any recovery of enforcement, inspection, abatement, or administrative costs would be pursued only as authorized by applicable law and any subsequent City action.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California Adopt Resolution No. 2026-095 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, denying the appeal of the Red Tag Closure Notice and Red Tag Correction Notice issued for the property located at 570 North H Street, San Bernardino, commonly known as Sunshine Motel, and affirming the Building and Safety Division’s determination and orders.

The Sunshine Motel is located at 570 N. H Street in the City and County of San Bernardino. lt is a small motel situated along the west side of N. H Street, just north of the intersection with W. Spruce Street. The motel is a two-story structure with access to the parking lot only through one entrance on N. H Steet. The front office is located right next to the driveway into the small parking lot and has windows facing the driveway as well as the parking lot. The front office area also serves as a residence for the manager, which is located deeper within the front office area. The rooms are laid out in an "L" formation, with the long portion running east/west, and the shorter portion running north/south further west from the intersection. The numbering system of each room is on a "hundred" basis, in which the first digit indicates the floor and the last two digits indicates the room number. For example, the first room on the ground level is Room "101", which indicates the first floor and first room located right next to the front office, while the last room on the ground level is Room "111", which is the last room located on the shorter end of the "L" on toward the west side of the parking lot. The second story rooms follow this same format, with Room "201" being directly above "101", and Room "211" located directly above "111". There are 22 rooms total at this motel. The photograph below depicts the top-down view of this motel as seen through Google Maps.

CODE ENFORCEMENT:

Your affiant requests Code Enforcement Officers to accompany the Peace Officers executing this Search Warrant for the purpose of enforcement of any city code violations following the execution of the search warrant. lt is common for suspected brothels to have numerous health code violations, such as unsanitary conditions.

REQUEST OF AFTER-HOUR "NIGHT" SERVICE:

Based on your affiant's training and experience, locations which conduct illegal commercial sex (commonly referred to as brothels) often experience their heaviest traffic late at night beyond 2200 hours, which is beyond the normal court operating hours — this location advertises that it closes at approximately 0130 hours. Due to this, it may be in the interest of justice to serve this warrant afterhours; this includes preservation of evidence as well as the rescue of potential victims of human trafficking. I respectfully request the court to allow the service of this search warrant, pending the availability of resources, during any time of the day or night as allowed by PC 1533. 10 SBPD CASE #2026-16829

I am writing on behalf ofmy clients regarding the City of San Bernardino's Community Development Department and Code Enforcement Division ("City") Notices of Violations ofthe City Municipal and Fire Code ("Notices") that the City issued against my clients on April 29, 2026, May 5, 2026, and May 13, 2026.

I am also writing behalf ofmy clients regarding the City's summary closure and red tag ofthe Motel on April 29, 2026 ("Closure").

My clients request an immediate administrative appeal ofthe Notices and Closure to the City Council, or before a neutral administrative hearing officer that complies with the requirements ofprocedural due process under the Fourteenth Amendment ofthe United States Constitution and parallel provisions ofthe California Constitution.

The grounds for the appeal, include but are not limited to, the following:

1. The City's non-consensual and warrantless inspection by members of your code enforcement division community development department and that has led to my clients receiving the Notices is patently in violation ofthe Fourth Amendment ofthe United States Constitution. The closure ofthe Motel was done without an abatement warrant required under California Code ofCivil Ptocedure Section 1822.50, et seq. and the Fourth Amendment.

The City cannot inspect and close the Motel without a proper warrant or consent under a case that I successfully litigated before the en bane court ofthe United States Court ofAppeals for the Ninth Circuit and afterwards as lead counsel before the United States Supreme Court in the case ofCity of Los Angeles v Patel, 576 U.S. 409 (2015)(affirming Patel v City ofLos Angeles, 737 F.3d 1058 (9th Cir. 2013) (en bane). Under the Patel case the City cannot demand the inspection without a warrant and affording my clients pre-enforcement judicial review.

For example, it was the Patel case that led to the City ofLos Angeles to amend its city municipal code, LAMC section 161.601, et seq. to afford property owners the right ofpre-judicial review and the right to refuse inspection, the Fourth Amendment affords such a right independent of any municipal ordinance as demonstrated by the Patel case. See Lavan v City ofLos Angeles, 693 F.3d 1022, 1028-1031 (9' Cir. 2012) (Fourth Amendment search or seizure may occur without regard to right of privacy ifit interferes with a plaintiff's possessory interests in his property).

Regardless ofwhether the City has a legitimate police power interest to investigate nuisance allegations, the Fourth Amendment still applies. See Michigan v Tyler , 436 U.S. 499, 504-07 (1978); Connor v City of Santa Ana, 897 F.2d 1487, 1490 (9' Cir. 1990) ("It is clear that the warrant requirement ofthe Fourth Amendment applies to entries onto private land to search for and abate suspected nuisances."). This is also a violation under the revived "common law Packet Page. 173

The government does not have a common law license to enter a person's property, even in an area not subject to a reasonable expectation of privacy, "in hopes ofdiscovering incriminating evidence." without consent or a warrant.

On federal constitutional grounds, independent ofthe merits ofthe case, your City officials who entered the Motel and conducted the warrantless inspection without my clients' consent, or an administrative abatement warrant, to not only search but also to abate, is an egregious civil rights violation that mandates, at a minimum, that you rescind immediately the Notices and Closure that was issued against it.

Further, "the State may not finally destroy a property interest without first giving the putative owner an opportunity to present his claim of entitlement." Logan v Zimmerman Brush Co., 455 U.S. 422,434 (1982). See also United States v James Daniel Good Real Prop., 510 U.S. 43, 48 ("Our precedents establish the general rule that individuals must receive notice and an opportunity to be heard before the Government deprives them of property.").

This includes the right to be heard "at a meaningful time and in a meaningful manner." Buckingham v Sec'y of U.S. Dep't of A_gric., 603 F.3d 1073, 1082 (9" Cir. 2010). There was no emergency exception here that permitted the City to close the motel completely. Further, even if such an exception applied (which it does not), the City is required to give a prompt post-deprivation hearing. See Armendariz v Penman, 75 F.3d 1311, 1320 (9' Cir. 1996) (en banc) (city must provide pre-deprivation hearing before closure ofproperty if non exigent circumstances exist and prompt post-deprivation hearing ifsuch exigent circumstances exist).

Further, on the substantive merits ofthe case, the Notices and Closure are wholly unfounded. My clients have not caused or maintained a violation ofthe City municipal code or state or federal law that is alleged to exist on the dates specified in the Notices and Closure.

My clients were issued a valid City business license and health permit ("Licenses") on or about January 1, 2026, and passed multiple City inspections prior to the issuance ofthe City Licenses.

Nor, prior to the Notices and Closure, did my clients ever receive any notices violations or citations for violations of City municipal code or under any other local, state, or federal law for nuisance activity at the motel, including but not limited to prostitution or other criminal activity.

1 emphasize the egregious and blatantly unconstitutional process by which the City did so, without an abatement warrant and in violation ofbedrock due process principles, is shocking and unacceptable.

The City's actions are clearly punitive and not remedial, violating fundamental California policy and the substantive component ofthe Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause ofthe United States Constitution and the and the Excessive Bail and Fines Clause ofthe Eighth Amendment ofthe United States Constitution
The City's actions are also unreasonable and in violation offederal and state law and constitute on federal constitutional grounds a violation ofthe First Amendment ofthe United States Constitution Petition and Grievances Clause, the Fourth Amendment ofthe United States Constitution Search and Seizure Clause, the Fifth Amendment ofthe United States Constitution Takings Clause, and, as previously stated, the substantive portion ofthe Fourteenth Amendment ofthe United States Constitution Due Process Clause and Equal Protection Clause.

Therefore, my clients demand an immediate administrative appeal and that the Notices and Closure that has been issued against them be immediately rescinded and that your City police and code enforcement and building official case against them be closed.

The City and your code enforcement and building official officers, or any City and law enforcement officials are not to enter the motel at any time without my clients' express written consent or a proper warrant or court order signed by a judge of a superior court.

My clients reserve the right to file suit against the City in the United States District Court for the Central District ofCalifornia for violation oftheir constitutional rights, which will include substantial monetary damages, declaratory and injunctive relief, attorney fees and costs.

The City cannot inspect and close the Motel without a proper warrant or consent under a case that 1 successfully litigated before the en bane court of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and afterwards as lead counsel before the United States Supreme Court in the case of City of Los Angeles v Patel, 576 U.S. 409 (2015)(affirming Patel v City ofLos Angeles. 737 F.3d 1058 (9th Cir. 2013) (en bane). Under the Patel case the City cannot demand the inspection without a warrant and affording my clients pre-enforcement judicial reviem .

For example, it was the Patel case that led to the City of Los Angeles to amend its city municipal code, LAMC section 161.601, et seq. to afford property owners the right of pre-judicial review and the right to refuse inspection, the Fourth Amendment affords such a right independent of any municipal ordinance as demonstrated by the Patel case. See Lavan v City of Los Angeles, 693 F.3d 1022, 1028-1031 (9th Cir. 2012) (Fourth Amendment search or seizure may occur without regard to right of privacy ifit interferes with a plaintiffs possessory interests in his property).

Regardless ofwhether the City has a legitimate police power interest to investigate nuisance allegations, the Fourth Amendment still applies. See Michigan v Tyler ,436 U.S. 499. 504-07 (1978); Connor v City of Santa Ana, 897 F.2d 1487. 1490 (91h Cir. 1990) ("It is clear that the warrant requirement ofthe Fourth Amendment applies to entries onto private land to search for and abate suspected nuisances.").

NOTICE OF HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino will conduct a quasi-judicial public hearing to consider the appeal of the Red Tag Closure Notice and Red Tag Correction Notice issued on or about April 29, 2026, concerning the property located at 570 North H Street, San Bernardino, California, commonly known as Sunshine Motel.

Hearing Date July 15, 2026
Hearing Time 5:00pm
Hearing Location Feldheym Public Library, Bing Wong
Auditorium, 555 West 6th Street, San Bernardino,
California 92410
Packet Page. 187
Agenda Information Meeting materials and agenda information will be available through the City agenda portal at
www.sbcity.org.

NATURE OF HEARING
This matter will be heard as a quasi-judicial public hearing. The Mayor and City Council will receive testimony, documents, photographs, inspection records, staff reports, written submissions, public testimony, and other relevant evidence concerning the appealed Red Tag Closure Notice and Red Tag Correction Notice.

AUTHORITY
The Mayor and City Council will hear this matter pursuant to California Building Code Section 1.8.8.1, applicable provisions of the California Building Standards Code, San Bernardino Municipal Code Sections

2.58.120 and 2.64 et. seq., Resolution No. 2018-88, and all other applicable law. For purposes of this hearing, the Mayor and City Council will sit as the local appeals board, as applicable, to hear and decide the appeal of orders, decisions, and determinations made by the enforcing agency relative to the application and interpretation of applicable building standards and other regulations governing construction, use, maintenance, and change of occupancy.

APPEALED ACTION
The appealed action is the issuance and continued enforcement of the Red Tag Closure Notice and Red Tag Correction Notice for the Sunshine Motel property. The notices concern alleged unsafe conditions, unpermitted construction, unpermitted electrical alterations, means-of-egress and life-safety concerns, smoke alarm issues, and related building and fire-safety conditions.

ISSUES TO BE CONSIDERED
The Mayor and City Council may consider whether the Red Tag Closure Notice and Red Tag Correction Notice should be affirmed, modified, reversed, or continued, including whether the evidence supports the determination that the property contains unsafe conditions requiring occupancy restrictions and corrective work before re-occupancy or reduction of restrictions.

Quasi-Judicial Hearing Procedures
This hearing will be conducted under the City's rules for quasi-judicial hearings. Witnesses may be sworn.

Members of the Mayor and City Council will be asked to disclose any ex parte communications concerning the merits of the appeal. City staff will present the staff report and recommendation. The appellant and/or appellant's representative will be provided an opportunity to present evidence and testimony. Members of the public may provide relevant testimony. The appellant may be allowed rebuttal. The Mayor and City Council may ask questions, close the hearing, deliberate, and take action.

Submission of Written Materials
Written comments, exhibits, photographs, witness lists, legal arguments, or other materials should be submitted to the City Clerk's Office no later than Monday July 13, 2026 by 5:00 p.m. to allow inclusion Packet Page. 188
City of San Bernardino Page 3 of 3
in the hearing record. Materials submitted after that deadline may be accepted at the discretion of the Mayor and City Council, subject to applicable law.

LIMITATION ON ISSUES
Because this is a quasi-judicial appeal, testimony and evidence should be limited to the issues raised by the appeal and the matters relevant to the Red Tag Closure Notice and Red Tag Correction Notice. Failure to raise an issue at or before the public hearing may limit the ability to raise that issue in a later challenge to the City Council's decision.

EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS
While this quasi-judicial matter is pending, parties and interested persons should avoid communicating with members of the Mayor and City Council outside the noticed public hearing regarding the merits of the appeal. Any substantive ex parte communications concerning the matter may be disclosed on the record at the hearing.

ACCESSIBILITY
The City endeavors to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Any person requiring assistance, auxiliary aids, interpretation, or other accommodations to participate in the hearing should contact the City Clerk's Office as far in advance of the hearing as possible at [email protected] or (909)998- 2680

Local governing bodies are required to adopt policies for the protection of the community against geologic and seismic hazards pursuant to California Government Code Section 65302. The primary geologic and seismic hazards that could potentially affect San Bernardino include fault rupture, ground shaking historic high ground water, and soil matrix. These hazards could cause liquefaction resulting in extensive property damage and loss of life in susceptible areas of the City.

Liquefaction reports plus mitigation measures for new development in susceptible areas will greatly reduce the risk of damage from liquefaction induced building failures during an earthquake occurrence.
(Ord. MC-676, 9-19-89)

15.08.020 Purpose
The purpose of this Code is to reduce the potential risk of property damage and loss of life due to liquefaction induced building failures during an earthquake occurrence by requiring liquefaction reports and mitigation measures for development in areas susceptible to liquefaction within this jurisdiction.

15.73.010 Findings and determination
The Mayor and City Council hereby find and determine as follows:

A. The City of San Bernardino (the "City") must provide for the acquisition, construction and installation of certain right-of-way and related infrastructure improvements (as hereinafter defined and as hereinafter referred to as the "Right-of-Way Improvements") and certain other public improvements (as hereinafter described and as hereinafter referred to as the "Public Improvements") within the Verdemont Area of the City in order to maintain current levels of service if new development is to be accommodated without decreasing current levels of service and in order to ensure that the infrastructure system is in conformity with the requirements of the City's General Plan.

B. It is in the interests of the present landowners within the Verdemont Area and the residents, both within the Verdemont Area and within the City generally, that the City causes the acquisition, construction and installation of the Right-of-Way Improvements and the Public Improvements within the Verdemont Area;
Packet Page. 298
Ordinance No. MC-1666
79 C. The imposition of infrastructure development fees (the "Infrastructure Fees") is one of the preferred methods of ensuring that development in the Verdemont Area bares a proportionate share of the cost of capital facilities necessary to accommodate such development in order to effectively provide the quality and extent of infrastructure required within the Verdemont Area; [Rev. 2022]
[Return to Municipal Code Contents]
[Return to Title 15 Contents]
D. Development within the Verdemont Area will (i) generate increased traffic volumes necessitating the acquisition, construction and installation of the Right-of-Way Improvements and (ii) create a need for the acquisition, construction and installation of the Public Improvements; E. Revenues generated from the levy of the Infrastructure Fees will be used to facilitate the acquisition, construction and installation of the Right-of-Way Improvements and the Public Improvements which in turn will allow for the future development of property within the Verdemont Area by providing additional traffic flow capacity and other public improvements; F. The Infrastructure Fees established by Section 15.73.050 of this Chapter shall be calculated pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Mayor and City Council simultaneously herewith (the "Resolution"). The Infrastructure Fees established by this Ordinance and as calculated pursuant to the Resolution are derived from, and based upon, and do not exceed the costs of undertaking the acquisition, construction and installation of the Right-of-Way Improvements; G. It is anticipated that certain excess revenues may be generated through the levy of the Infrastructure Fees for the acquisition, construction and installation of the Right-of-Way Improvements, and to the extent such revenues are generated, such revenues as are in excess of the amount required for the acquisition, construction and installation of the Right-of-Way Improvements shall be used for the purposes of funding the acquisition, construction and installation of the Public Improvements as defined in Section 15.73.030(e); provided, however, that if such excess revenues are not generated, then the Infrastructure Fees established by Section

15.73.050 of this Chapter and calculated pursuant to the Resolution will be increased in accordance with the terms of the Resolution or any subsequent resolution adopted by the Mayor and the City Council of the City in order to cause the funding of the acquisition, construction and installation of the Public Improvements;
H. That certain engineers report entitled "Engineers Report - Right-of-Way Improvements - Verdemont Area" (the "Engineers Report") sets forth the scope and extent of the Right-of-Way Improvements and the Public Improvements required in the Verdemont Area and sets forth a reasonable methodology and analysis for the determination of the impact of development on the need for, and costs of, acquisition, construction and installation of the Right-of-Way Improvements and the Public Improvements in the Verdemont Area;
I. This Chapter shall apply only to that area of the City known as the Verdemont Area and is intended to assist in the continued development of the Verdemont Area; [Rev. 2022]

15.73.040 Persons Subject to Infrastructure Fee
Any person who seeks to develop land within the Verdemont Area by applying for a building permit, an extension of a building permit, a permit for a mobile home installation, or an extension of a permit for mobile home installation to make improvements to land which will generate additional traffic or increase the need for public facilities is hereby required to pay an Infrastructure Fee in the manner set forth in this Chapter.
(Ord. MC-707, 3-19-90)

City Manager's Comments
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Specific Plan Amendment.

There are concerns regarding the development and in particular a few housing sites with the Andy Jackson Airpark. The developer has been in discussions with Crestline Soaring Academy.

Packet Page. 317
Executive Summary
The item was continued from the June 3, 2026 City Council meeting to July 15, 2026 to address issues raised by the Crestline Soaring Academy/Andy Jackson Airpark.

Since the meeting of June 3, 2026 the issues regarding hang gliding operations and airpark activities have been resolved.

Specific Plan Amendment 23-01 proposes revisions to the land use plan and significantly reduces development intensity within the 404-acre site. The amendment consolidates 24 planning areas into 4; lowers residential density from 20 to 3.1 dwelling units per acre; increases permanent open space from 235 to 300 acres; reduces total units from 980 to 327; updates park concepts; revises circulation to connect Badger Canyon Road to Campus Drive adding emergency access; and updates development standards to emphasize single-family homes (Attachment 5 and 6).

Subdivision 23-05 (Tentative Tract Map No. 20595) is requested to allow for the subdivision of a 404.3-acre site into 327 single family lots, along with parcels for landscaping, parks, water quality basins, roads, trails, 46.86 acres of parks and open space, and an additional 300.44 acres of open space preserved within a remainder lot (Attachment 1, 2, 3, and 4).

Development Agreement 08-02 has been requested to be dissolved and removed from the property title and project as obligations outlined in the agreement were not fulfilled.

Background
1993: The Paradise Hills Specific Plan, approved in 1993 and based on the former General Plan, included a certified Environmental Impact Report and proposed a 229- acre development area extending north into Badger Canyon. The plan called for 504 residential units and 175 acres of open space, with two housing types—Foothill Residential at 3.5 units per acre and Hillside Residential at 1 unit per acre—resulting in overall densities of 1.25 and 2.2 units per acre. The Paradise Hills Specific Plan was later revised to cluster development south of the San Andreas Fault, which crosses the property, eliminate development in Upper Badger Canyon, and create a land plan in association with California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB). The project was never built, and no development has occurred on the site since 1993. 2005: After adoption of the new General Plan in 2005, The Paradise Hills Specific Plan was renamed the University Hills Specific Plan (SP-UH) via Resolution 2005-362 adopted November 1, 2005. The University Hills Specific Plan (SP-UH) applied updated goals, policies, and land-use designations to the site which included Residential Suburban (4.5 units/acre) on the southern third, Residential Low (3.1 units/acre) in the center, and Open Space along the northern edge, all designations consistent with the original plan. No movement on the Specific Plan occurred at this time.

Packet Page. 318
2008: The Environmental Review Committee determined that the University Hills Specific Plan could have negative effects on the environment and warranted preparation of a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report. The Draft SEIR was distributed for the 45-day public review period from August 1, 2008 to September 1, November 17, 2008: the Mayor and Common Council accepted the Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) and adopted the University Hills Specific Plan No. 07-01(Attachment 9 and 10).

January 13, 2026: the City of San Bernardino Planning Commission considered Resolution 2026-001 at the duly noticed hearing (Attachment 7 and 8).

At the Planning Commission meeting there were ten (10) speakers representing the Crestline Soaring Society, a paragliding and hand gliding club, and community members Dolores Armstead and Bobby Long who spoke in opposition to the project.

After the public comments the Planning Commission deliberated and voted the following:

RESULT: APPROVED
MOVER: Commissioner Carlone
SECONDER: Commissioner Pratt
ABSTAIN: None
AYES: I. Garcia, Quiel, Ngalande, Pratt, Carlone, O. Garcia NOES: Dailey, Lopez
ABSENT: Sherrick
The Item was approved (Attachment 7 and 8).

May 6, 2026: the Mayor and City Council considered Resolution 2026-042, Ordinance Number 1664, and the dissolution of Development Agreement 08-02 for Specific Plan Amendment 23-01 and Subdivision 23-05, and after public testimony voted unanimously to continue the item to the June 3, 2026 regularly scheduled meeting of the Mayor and City Council. The motion was made by Council Member Knaus and seconded by Council Member Sánchez (Attachment 16). The item was continued from the May 6, 2026 City Council meeting to address issues raised by California State University, San Bernardino. Those issues have since been resolved.

Concurrently, at the May 6, 2026 Mayor and City Council meeting additional comments were made during the public hearing, by the Crestline Soaring Academy Hand Gliders Association regarding safety concerns associated with hang glider takeoff and landing operations near the project area at Andy Jackson Airpark. These concerns were previously analyzed in the 2008 Subsequent Final Environmental Impact Report (Attachment 10 and 13 pages 44-63), which concluded the following findings remain Packet Page. 319
valid today:
• Historical records indicate the Paradise Hills/University Hills Specific Plan was approved by the City on February 15, 1993, prior to the Department of Water Resources’ March 24, 1993 approval of the relocated hang glider landing zone adjacent to the project boundaries. Relocation was part of mitigation efforts for the construction of the Hydroelectric Plant (Attachment 13 pages 44-63). • Operations at the Andy Jackson Airpark conflict with City of San Bernardino Development Code Section 12.88 (MC 12.88.10) which prohibits hang gliding within and over City limits unless specifically approved by the Mayor and City Council. Meaning any flights need to occur over the DWR property only, airspace included (Attachment 10 and 13 pages 44-63).
• The 2008 Subsequent Environmental Impact Report further noted that the airpark had never received formal City authorization, land use approval, business licensing, or permits required under the City Municipal or Development Code, that is still the case as of today (Attachment 13 pages 44-63).

The Applicant and the City had coordinated extensively with the California Department of Water Resources, including meetings and correspondence. In a letter dated April 15, 2026 (Attachment 12-Public Comments), DWR confirmed that its obligations under the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission license related to relocation of the airpark were fully satisfied in 1993. DWR further stated that Article 410 imposed only a onetime mitigation requirement, with no continuing obligations related to the airpark, and therefore DWR has no further comments regarding approval of the University Hills Development (Attachment 12).

June 3, 2026: At the duly noticed public hearing the Mayor and City Council considered Resolution 2026-042, Ordinance No. 1664, and the dissolution of Development Agreement 08-02 for Specific Plan Amendment 23-01 and Subdivision 23-05, and following public testimony and comments made by the Crestline Soaring Society and Council Member Ortiz, unanimously voted to continue the item to the regularly scheduled June 17, 2026 meeting of the Mayor and City Council. The motion was made by Council Member Ortiz and seconded by Council Member Flores.

Discussion
The Project site is located within the northern end of the City of San Bernardino, just north of the California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB) campus and several large debris basins maintained by the County of San Bernardino Flood Control District.

The Project site occupies approximately 404 acres of vacant land in the western edge foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains which run for approximately 60 miles east from the Cajon Pass to the Coachella Valley. The elevation of the Project site ranges between 1,600 feet above sea level (ASL) at its southerly boundary to an upper Packet Page. 320
elevation of approximately 2,600 feet ASL. An observatory to the south is located at Badger Hill which is utilized by CSUSB for educational purposes.

The Project consists of the first amendment to the approved University Hills Specific Plan (SP-UH) Project. The original Project was adopted by the City of San Bernardino in 2008. This first amendment of the approved Project is a proposal to (1) adopt the Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (SCH #2007071155) (Attachment 3), modify the land use plan and reduce the development intensity and residential dwelling units allowed within the 404- acre site, Subdivide for 327 single family lots (Attachment 6), subdivide a 404.3-acre site into 327 single family lots and dissolve and remove Development Agreement 08- 02 from the property title (Attachment 1).

Amendment
Specifically, the amendment would include the following changes:
• Reduce the number of Planning Areas from 24 to 4.
• Reduce the residential density of the Project from a maximum of 20 dwelling units per acre (du/acre) to 3 du/acre.
• Increase the amount of land preserved in perpetuity as open space from approximately 235 acres to approximately 300 acres, to better accommodate environmental site constraints, such as seismic and biological constraints. • Reduce the number of allowed residential dwelling units (DU) from 980 DU to 327 DU.
• Redesign of the conceptual park plans.
• Update the circulation plan to connect Badger Canyon Road south to Campus Drive and add additional emergency vehicle access roads. • Update of development standards and design guidelines to focus on singlefamily residential development.

Approvals associated with the Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) include an amendment to the University Hills Specific Plan (Attachment 5) and a Tentative Tract Map (TTM) (Attachment 1):

Subdivision
The Tentative Tract Map is a subdivision proposing to implement the land uses identified in the first amendment to the University Hills Specific Plan (SP-UH).

Subdivision 23-05 (TTM No. 20595) proposes the subdivision of approximately 338.80 acres into 327 single family residential lots with a minimum lot size of 2,750 sq. ft. This includes lots for landscaping, passive park, water quality basin, roadways, trails and

46.86 acres of open space; 300.44 acres will be allotted to additional open space within a remainder lot (Attachment 1).

Pedestrian and Bicycle Connectivity
The amendment would improve the Project site with pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, as follows:
• The Pedestrian and bicycle routes along roadways would incorporate Packet Page. 321
pedestrian amenities as benches, bike racks, shade structures, and lighting where appropriate.
• Pedestrian connections would link residential neighborhoods with recreation areas.
• Bike racks would be located at strategic points throughout the open space system, such as parks and other recreational amenities, to encourage nonvehicular circulation. • Trails would be clearly marked with consistent signage and well-lit with bollard lighting as appropriate.

Roadways, Traffic, and Circulation
The originally approved Project of 2008 was designed with main access (to the site) through the Campus Parkway extension, with Badger Canyon Road (a dirt road) used only as an Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) route. The current amended Project keeps these same roadways—Campus Parkway extension and EVA No. 1 (Badger Canyon Road)—as part of its land use plan. In addition, the Project would add two new vehicle access points:

Campus Parkway Access:

A new driveway would connect to a future road off Campus Parkway. This new road is expected to link Campus Parkway with North Campus Circle at a future intersection located just north of the existing West Campus Circle/North Campus Circle intersection.

Badger Canyon Road Access:

A second driveway would connect to a future fire access road along EVA No. 1 (Badger Canyon Road). Badger Canyon Road would tie into Devils Canyon Road just north of the current Campus Parkway and Northpark Boulevard/Devils Canyon Road intersection.

Utilities and Infrastructure
The Project presented would require the installation of utilities and infrastructure systems including potable water, water to fight fires, wastewater, storm drainage, electricity, natural gas, street lighting, and sidewalks would be installed to serve the Project. The updated SP-UH includes utility master plans for water, sewer, storm drain, etc. All Project utility connections would be located underground. Eight aboveground Frontier electricity power poles/power lines are located within the Project site. These electric power lines would go underground and relocated away from the residential lots as part of the Project onsite development activities.

Landscaping
Landscaping within Project site would consist of evergreen and deciduous canopy trees with flowering evergreen shrubs and groundcovers. It is intended that the landscaping would provide visual themes and continuity throughout the Project site, enhance desirable views, screen undesirable views, beautify and control erosion of graded slopes exposed to public views, preserve existing landscape material Packet Page. 322
(whenever possible), and enhance interfaces between graded and natural open space areas.

Streetscape elements, such as landscaping, lighting, street furniture, and signage, would create an attractive, consistent, and cohesive community image and would complement the surrounding architectural styles.

Landscaping along major roadways and at Project entries would be designed to create an attractive and cohesive community identity.

Water usage would be minimized through the planting of native and low-water species and the utilization of water-efficient and drip irrigation systems. Medians and parkways would be used for water treatment and to reduce runoff, when possible.

Overall, landscaping would include the installation of shade trees throughout the Project site including fire-safe and drought tolerant landscaping that is located to help reduce the effect of harsh winds, provide shade, and highlight significant features.

The Project would be maintained via Homeowners Association (HOA) agreements and Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Districts (LLMDs).

Recreation Areas
The Project would develop recreation and open space areas as follows:
• Recreation and open space areas would be designed to accommodate the needs of different ages and abilities.
• Canopy trees would be used to provide shade.
• Outdoor furniture would be provided in parks and common open space areas that would complement the surrounding architectural styles, materials, and colors.
• A combination of hard and soft paving would be used depending on the function of the recreational amenities.
• Active areas would utilize turf, grass, and ornamental plantings. Passive areas would primarily be composed of drought-tolerant species.

Lighting
Lighting within the Project is intended to help define vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns, provide safe pedestrian movement, distinguish community entries and activity areas, and contribute to the overall landscape theme of the community.

The goal is to provide a sense of place by varying fixtures and illumination levels. Due to the proximity of Project site to the CSUSB observatory at Badger Hill, the use of lighting within the community shall not be excessive and would be consistent with the dark sky guidelines suggested by the International Dark Sky Association. Additionally, the Project lighting would implement the following features:
• Streetlights would implement the use of Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in Packet Page. 323
accordance with City Standard No’s, SL-1, SL-2, and SL-3. Also, when more than three streetlights are proposed, a lighting plan would be prepared for all public areas within University Hills in accordance with the City of San Bernardino Street Lighting Design Policies. The lighting plan would establish uniform lighting standards regarding style, materials, and colors to ensure consistent design.

The lighting plan would be submitted to the City’s Public Works Department for review and approval, prior to installation.
• All exterior lights would be shielded and focused on driveways to minimize spill light into the night sky or adjacent properties (residential land uses located approximately 600 feet southeast of the Project site, along North “I” Street). • Exterior lighting would be consistent with City safety and illumination requirements for rural areas. Exterior lighting on homes would be set to automatic timers. Light standards would be energy efficient and in scale with the height and use of the structures on-site.
• Light standards would not exceed 15 feet in height above finish grade. Lighting in parks may exceed this limit where deemed appropriate by the University Hills Design Review Committee and approved by the City. The 15-foot height limit may be waived as deemed necessary by the City Engineer. • Lighting would be decorative, in keeping with the architectural theme of the facility served and shall be located within landscape planter areas. • All lighting, including security lighting, would be directed away from adjoining properties and the public right-of-way.
• Parking areas would have lighting that provides adequate illumination for safety and security. Parking lot lighting fixtures would maintain a minimum of 1 footcandle of illumination at ground level at any location within the parking facility. • The level of lighting would not exceed 0.5 foot-candle at any residential property line or at the perimeter of the developed areas adjacent to the areas designated as Open Space.
• Game-court lighting is permitted on a case-by-case basis. Prior to installation, all game court lighting shall be reviewed and approved by the City of San Bernardino and any other responsible governing agency. Court lighting fixtures shall not exceed 30 feet in height.
• Exterior lighting may be used to illuminate significant exterior features and landscaping.

Off-site Improvements to the Project:

Offsite street improvements would include drainage, water, and sewer improvements.

A fuel modification zone would be constructed on San Bernardino County Flood Control properties within public easement and reservoirs. The Project would also require the construction and realignment of main ingress and egress roads, and EVA roadway alignments.

Construction Schedule
The Project does not contain a specific phasing plan or construction schedule for the Project; however, the Project would include backbone infrastructure that would include roads, water, and sewer lines prior to developing any planning areas. The Project site Packet Page. 324
preparation is anticipated to occur over a period of 2 years, which the Specific Plan Amendment identified as 2027 to 2029. However, these timeframes are subject to changes depending on various factors as economic conditions and market demand.

Development Agreement 08-02
The applicant has requested Development Agreement 08-02 to be dissolved and removed from the property title. Section 3.1.1 within the agreement defines the “5 Year Performance Plan,” requiring that within the first five years of the effective date of 4/19/2012, off-site rights of way “must have been acquired,” construction plans for the backbone infrastructure “shall be submitted” and deemed complete plans for the first phase of residential structures and park “shall have been submitted.” None of these mandatory requirements were satisfied, so the developer failed to meet the obligations under Section 3.1.1. As a result of the failure to meet these obligations, the Development Agreement shall be terminated per Section 3.2.

In addition to the above, terms within Development Agreement 08-02 are no longer applicable to the proposed Specific Plan Amendment. Such terms include the City maintenance of the roadways and landscape areas, the provision of public parks and buildings, vested impact fee schedules, and the provision of multifamily housing including student/faculty housing.

In place of Development Agreement 08-02 there will be a Memorandum of Understanding as the expired Development Agreement referenced separate agreements between California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB) and the original developer. To preserve CSUSB’s intended protections and interests regarding roadway access, maintenance, open space access, and safeguards for campus facilities, Planning Conditions of Approval were incorporated into the Resolution as follows:
(Added as number 20 COA): Prior to recordation of the Final Map or the issuance of building permits, whichever comes first, the applicant/developer/property owner shall provide a copy of a recorded agreement between applicant/developer/property owner and California State University, San Bernardino for access into the University Hills project for limited, educational purposes.
(Added as number 21 COA) : Prior to recordation of the Final Map or the issuance of building permits, whichever comes first, the applicant/developer/property owner shall obtain easements or acquire all property necessary from the California State University, San Bernardino, San Bernardino County Flood Control, and any other property owner necessary to provide access to the site from an existing public right of way.
(Added as number 22 COA): Prior to recordation of the Final Map or the issuance of building permits, whichever comes first, the applicant/developer/property owner shall enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), or any other agreement deemed appropriate by both parties, with California State University, San Bernardino to address a variety of issues that could include access rights and conditions, construction Packet Page. 325
management and campus protection, fault and land laboratory access, lighting and observatory protection, agency review and approval, term and termination, and dispute resolution.
(Amendment to COA 8): The applicant shall coordinate with other outside agencies including but not limited to California State University, San Bernardino, San Bernardino County Flood Control, and San Bernardino County Fire.

All required approvals, permits, and clearances shall be obtained from all outside agencies prior to recordation of the final map and prior to issuance of grading, building, and occupancy permits, as applicable, for the project. Examples include but are not limited to encroachment permits, access agreements or Memorandums of Understanding.

In addition, CSUSB has prepared the Memorandum of Understanding to outline the key deal points between CSUSB and Encore University hills, LLC. These provisions will ultimately be formalized through an encroachment agreement, which will be recorded against the property title.
