CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: September 02, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Lynn Merrill, Director of Public Works
Department: Public Works
Subject: $250,000 Budget Increase for Animal Shelter Modular Building Site Improvements, Increasing the Construction and Project Support Budget to $1,825,370. (Ward 3)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California adopt Resolution 2026-150:

1. Authorizing the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the FY 2026/27 Capital Improvement Plan budget with an additional $250,000 from the Measure S Fund for the Project; and

2. Approving the increase to the project budget for the Animal shelter improvements Project (Project) in the amount of $250,000, increasing the total budget amount to $1,825,370.00; and

3. Authorizing the City Manager or designee to expend the contingency fund, if necessary, to complete the Project.

City Manager's Comments
The City Manager recommends approval.

Executive Summary
During construction of the Animal Shelter Improvement Project, unforeseen site conditions and additional agency requirements resulted in costs exceeding the previously approved project budget. The primary additional costs were related to revised electrical service requirements mandated by Southern California Edison (SCE), which required design modifications, equipment upgrades, and additional construction to meet SCE’s service requirements.

Packet Page. 1280
Additionally, the use of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (SBMWD) property for supplemental parking required security and environmental improvements to comply with SBMWD conditions. Staff requests approval of an additional $250,000 appropriation from the Measure S Fund to cover eligible project costs, complete the remaining work and project closeout, and close out the Animal Shelter Improvement Project.

Background
In 2023, Riverside County Animal Services notified cities receiving service that it would no longer provide shelter services after June 30, 2024. In response, the City of San Bernardino established a regional partnership agreement to provide shelter services to Colton, Fontana, Rialto, Grand Terrace, and Loma Linda, effective July 1, 2024.

On December 6, 2023, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-188 authorizing the City Manager to take the necessary steps to establish a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation to support the Department of Animal Services Programs and Initiatives Regional Partnership for Animal Services.

On April 17, 2024, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-067, approving the allocation of $4,000,000 from the General Fund to support necessary improvements and upgrades to the Animal Shelter facility. Following this adoption, the Cities of Colton, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Loma Linda, and Rialto approved the participation agreements with the City of San Bernardino under the regional partnership agreement with an effective date of July 1, 2024.

On August 7, 2024, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-170, authorizing the City Manager to execute a Good Purchase Agreement with Horizon Structures in the amount of $2,096,324 for the acquisition of modular buildings for the Animal Shelter facility. The City of San Bernardino's share of the cost is $1,111,052, with the remaining $985,272 funded through the regional partnership agreement.

The Mayor and City Council also adopted Resolution No. 2024-151 on August 7, 2024, authorizing the City Manager to execute a Good Purchase Agreement with William Scotsman Inc. in the amount of $406,492 for the purchase of a modular office for the Animal Shelter. The City of San Bernardino's share of this cost is $217,745, with $188,747 covered by the regional partnership.

On June 4, 2025, the Mayor and City Council approved the award of a Construction Agreement with Leonida Builders Inc. in the amount of $1,075,370.00 for the construction of concrete pads, utility connections, and other site improvements necessary for the installation of twelve modular buildings and associated parking lot improvements for the Animal Shelter Improvement Project. The City Council also authorized $500,000.00 for construction contingencies, construction management, and administrative costs associated with the project.

Packet Page. 1281
Discussion
The Animal Shelter Improvement Project included the installation of twelve (12) modular buildings and the development of an additional parking area to enhance the facility’s operational capacity and support the increasing demand for animal services.

The modular buildings expanded kennel capacity and provided additional operational space needed to implement the Regional Partnership for Animal Services.

The modular buildings significantly increase the shelter's kennel capacity and provide additional space to support services under the Regional Partnership for Animal Services with the Cities of Colton, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Loma Linda, and Rialto.

These improvements position the shelter to meet current operational demands and accommodate anticipated future service needs.

During construction, Southern California Edison required revisions to the project's electrical infrastructure that were not anticipated in the original construction documents. Compliance with these requirements necessitated additional design services, electrical equipment, and construction work. Additional site improvements were also required to satisfy San Bernardino Municipal Water Department requirements for the use of adjacent property for supplemental parking.

In addition, the project is expected to incur additional costs related to WQMP compliance, environmental requirements, and other unforeseen project expenses.

These changes have increased the overall project costs beyond the previously authorized contingency budget, resulting in the need for an additional $250,000 appropriation.

WHEREAS, an additional $250,000 allocation is needed to increase the Project fund and complete the Project.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2. The Director of Finance and Management Services is hereby authorized to amend the FY2026/27 CIP Budget Capital Improvement Plan with an additional $250,000 from the Measure S Fund for the Project.

SECTION 3. The Mayor and City Council hereby approve an increase of $250,000 in the total budget for the Animal Shelter Improvement Project, increasing the total budget from $1,575,370.00 to $1,825,370.00.

the terms of the applicable construction agreement, the approved project scope, and applicable City contracting and purchasing requirements.

SECTION 5. CEQA. The City Council finds that the Animal Shelter Improvement Project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15302, Replacement or Reconstruction (“Class 2”).

The Class 2 exemption applies to the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures or facilities where the new structure or facility will be located on the same site as the structure or facility replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity. The Project consists of minor improvements to and reconstruction of animal shelter facilities located on the existing Animal Shelter site.

The City Council has also considered whether any exception to the Class 2 categorical exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 applies to the Project and finds that no exception applies for the following reasons:

A. Location. The location exception set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2(a) applies only to projects relying on the Class 3, Class 4, Class 5, Class 6, or Class 11 categorical exemptions. Because the City is relying on the Class 2 exemption, the location exception does not apply.

B. Cumulative Impact. The Project would not result in a significant cumulative impact on the environment. There are no successive projects of the same type in the same place that, over time, would result in a significant cumulative impact, and the Project would not make a cumulatively considerable contribution to any significant environmental effect.

C. Unusual Circumstances. The Project does not involve unusual circumstances, and there is no reasonable possibility that the Project will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances.

D. Scenic Highways. The Project would not result in damage to scenic resources, including trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway.

E. Hazardous Waste Sites. The Project site is not included on any list of hazardous waste and substance sites compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5.

F. Historical Resources. The Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. The Project site does not contain a historical resource, as defined by CEQA.

The City Council further finds that the determination that the Project is exempt from CEQA reflects the City Council’s independent judgment and analysis.

SECTION 6. Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are declared to be severable.

Request for Council Action
Date: September 2, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Lynn Merrill, Director of Public Works
Department: Public Works
Subject: Approve Stop Sign Installation at Various Locations (Wards 2, 3, 4, 5, 7)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino California, adopt Resolution No. 2026-151; Authorizing the City Manager and/or designee to amend the City’s Master List of certain streets or portions thereof designated as Through Highways and authorizing the establishment of stop control at the following locations:
a. Kenwood Ave and 17th St (Ward 2)

City Manager's Comments
The City Manager recommends approval.

Executive Summary
The Public Works Department recommends the approval of the installation of stop Packet Page. 1290
signs at the above locations to enhance safety and improve vehicular and pedestrian flow. The proposed stop signs aligns with the City’s broader commitment to improve safety and accessibility on the roadway segments in the City.

Background
Staff received a citizen request to evaluate the potential installation of a stop sign control at the following intersections:
a. Kenwood Ave and 17th St
b. Kenwood Ave and 18th St
c. Gould St and Ferree St
d. 50th St and Mountain View Ave
e. 54th St and E St
f. 54th St and Acacia Ave
g. 30th St and Lincoln Dr
h. 38th St and Genevieve St
i. D St and 34th St
j. D St and Marshall Blvd
The City has adopted the Guidelines published in the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) on the use of stop signs have been adopted by the City. The guidelines recommend the use of a stop sign facing the minor street of a 4-legged intersection and the terminating leg of a T-intersection, if certain conditions exist to better clarify and regulate right-of-way at an intersection. Additionally, common factors and warrants considered for the installation of stop signs as follows:
• Traffic Volumes.
• Pedestrian Volume.
• Visibility.
• Accident History.

Discussion
The Traffic Engineering Section of the Public Works Department has been focused on installing stop signs at uncontrolled intersections and implementing two way and four - way stops at intersections with limited visibility and a history of collisions. These uncontrolled intersections have led to confusion among drivers, making it challenging for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians to safely navigate crossings without clear stop signs. This lack of signage can result in drivers not having enough time to notice pedestrians, cyclists, and cross traffic, leading to difficulties in deciding whether to come to a full stop at these intersecting streets.

Staff investigated traffic conditions at the intersections referenced above and found that stop signs should be installed to better clarify the rules of the road at each intersection. Stop signs are also recommended to mitigate sight distance issues such as corner landscaping, corner perimeter or structure walls, and/or horizontal or vertical road curvature which may exist at these locations.

Packet Page. 1291
The table below identifies the types of warrants met at each intersection:

Intersection Justification for

Kenwood Ave and 18th St Warrant A-2
Gould St & Ferree St Warrant A-1
50th St and Mountain View Ave Warrant A-1

54th St and Acacia Ave Warrant A-2
30th St and Lincoln Dr Warrant A-1
38th St and Genevieve St Warrant A-1
D St and 34th St Warrant A-1
D St and Marshall Blvd Warrant A-1
The City must designate roadways as Through Highways in order to implement traffic control measures. Staff presented the proposed stop sign locations to the City’s Public Safety and Human Relations Commission (PS&HR) at its July 20, 2026, meeting. The Commission reviewed and approved the proposed stop sign locations and recommended moving forward to the City Council for approval. Following City Council approval, Public Works anticipates that implementation of the proposed stop sign and pavement marking improvements will take approximately one month. This timeframe includes the preparation and execution of a task order under the City’s existing contract with Cal Stripe, Inc., coordination with the contractor, and scheduling of the installation work. The actual installation date will be subject to the contractor’s availability and scheduling.

Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No. 3d: Improved Quality of Life. The project will evaluate and enhance the quality of public safety services.

Fiscal Impact
The estimated cost to install the proposed stop signs and associated pavement markings ranges from approximately $2,000 to $3,000 per location, for a total estimated cost of $20,000 to $30,000 for all locations. Public Works has an existing contract with Cal Stripe, Inc., a paving and pavement markings contractor, to implement the proposed improvements. Sufficient funding is available in the FY 2026/27 Operating Budget to cover the estimated costs.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino California, adopt Resolution No. 2026-151; Authorizing the City Manager and or designee to amend the City’s Master List of certain streets or portions thereof as through highways and authoring the establishments of Stop control at the following locations:

Executive Summary
The Love Your Block Grant is designed to benefit the residents of the City of San Bernardino by creating community-led revitalization projects in collaboration with Community Based Organizations. Years 1 & 2 were funded through grant funds awarded by Johns Hopkins University (JHU) for the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation 2.0 Project (Love Your Block Grant). Establishing year three (3) would require the allocation of General Funds and the creation of one (1) new FTE within the Economic Development Department.

Background
In 2021, Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation (BCPI) at Johns Hopkins University launched the Love Your Block program to help local governments strengthen neighborhoods by empowering residents to lead community improvement projects. Through technical assistance, training, and grant funding, the program supports resident-driven initiatives focused on neighborhood beautification, public art, blight reduction, and community engagement.

In December 2023, the City of San Bernardino applied to participate in the 2024-2026 Love Your Block cohort. On February 21, 2024, the City was awarded a $100,000 grant from Johns Hopkins University to implement the program over a two-year period. The grant funding supported the hiring of a Love Your Block Fellow, access to an AmeriCorps VISTA member, and the funding of resident-led neighborhood improvement projects throughout the City.

The City's Love Your Block Program was designed to empower residents to identify opportunities for improvement within their own neighborhoods and partner with the City to implement meaningful community projects. Through strategic partnerships with community-based organizations and nonprofit partners, the program provided funding, technical assistance, volunteer coordination, and project management for resident-led initiatives focused on beautification, clean-up efforts, placemaking, and public art.

During the first year of implementation, the City successfully funded eleven (11) resident-led projects throughout San Bernardino. These projects engaged 429 volunteers and residents, generated 486 volunteer hours, removed approximately 24,600 pounds of trash, and cleared nearly 6,955 square yards of blighted land.

Beyond these measurable outcomes, the program strengthened relationships between residents, neighborhood organizations, and the City while fostering greater community pride and civic engagement.

Recognizing the City's success and the staffing challenges created by national AmeriCorps funding interruptions, BCPI awarded the City an additional $60,000 in December 2025 to fully fund a second part-time Fellow position through October 31, 2026. This additional funding provided greater staffing stability and allowed the City to continue expanding community outreach and project implementation.

During the second year of the program, project efforts focused primarily along the Packet Page. 1344
Historic Route 66 corridor, supporting resident-led beautification and neighborhood improvement initiatives that enhanced public spaces while celebrating one of the City's most recognizable historic assets. Grant-funded staff coordinated outreach efforts, assisted applicants through the project development process, and worked directly with residents to successfully implement community improvement projects.

Year 2 Projects Awarded included:

Route 66 Little Free Library at Ann Shirrells Park $1,200 Downtown Mural & Clean-Ups at Court Street Square $5,000 Gateway Project Monument Sign at Villa Senor Library $5,000 Mother Road Mural at Santa Fe Depot $5,000
Connecting the Past Mural at Mt. Vernon & Baseline $5,000 St. Paul A.M.E Church Community Garden at Mt. Vernon & 21st $5,000 St. Paul A.M.E Church Community Wellness Space at Mt. Vernon & 21st
$5,000
Two City initiated projects $10,000
Total Awarded Projects $41,200
Since its inception, Love Your Block has become one of the City's most successful community engagement initiatives by leveraging resident leadership, volunteerism, and partnerships to deliver visible neighborhood improvements while strengthening trust and collaboration between the community and local government.

Discussion
The Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation grant funding that established the Love Your Block Program concludes October 31, 2026. Staff is recommending the establishment of Year 3 of the Love Your Block Program utilizing General Fund resources, in the amount of $150,000.00, to ensure the continuation and expansion of this successful community engagement initiative. To avoid any disruption in programming, Year 3 would start November 1, 2026 and culminate October 31, 2027.

Since launching the program, Love Your Block has demonstrated measurable community benefits by empowering residents to take an active role in improving their neighborhoods while providing City staff with a structured framework for community engagement. The program has produced tangible neighborhood improvements, strengthened partnerships with local nonprofit organizations and community-based organizations, increased volunteer participation, and fostered stronger relationships between residents and the City.

Year 3 funding for Love Your Block would include $123,000 dedicated to staffing costs.

This amount represents the fully encumbered cost for one (1) full-time equivalent (FTE) position and one (1) part-time equivalent (PTE) position for an entire fiscal year, including applicable salaries and associated personnel costs. The requested staffing allocation will provide the Economic Development Department with the capacity necessary to administer the program, conduct ongoing community outreach, coordinate with community-based and nonprofit partners, and manage resident Packet Page. 1345
applications.

Additionally, $27,000 would be dedicated to direct program cost, including mini-grants for resident-led projects and other eligible costs necessary to support the implementation of Love Your Block activities. Collectively, the proposed $150,000 Year 3 investment would provide the staffing and direct project funding necessary to maintain the program's existing structure while expanding opportunities for residents in neighborhoods throughout the City.

Year 1 & 2 Year 3 (11/1/26 – 10/31/27)
Staffing $120,000.00 $123,000.00
Projects $40,000.00 $27,000.00
Donations $37,700.00
The proposed full-time and part-time positions would replace the (2) grant-funded Grant Assistant positions that has supported the program during its initial two years.

Establishing these positions as part of the City's ongoing program structure would provide greater continuity and stability than relying on temporary grant-funded positions. The positions would be responsible for program administration, community outreach, grant and mini-grant management, volunteer coordination, partnership development, project implementation, and performance reporting.

Under a Year Three program, Love Your Block would continue operating under the same successful model established during the grant period. Residents would continue to apply for funding to complete neighborhood improvement projects focused on beautification, blight reduction, public art, community gardens, placemaking, and other community-driven initiatives. Economic Development staff would continue providing technical assistance, project coordination, volunteer management, and oversight to ensure successful project implementation.

The continuation of the program would also allow the City to maintain and expand partnerships with community-based organizations, nonprofit organizations, neighborhood associations, schools, faith-based organizations, and local businesses.

These partnerships have been instrumental in recruiting volunteers, identifying community needs, leveraging additional resources, and maximizing the impact of each funded project.

General Fund support would also provide ongoing funding for resident-led project grants, allowing the City to continue investing directly in neighborhood revitalization while maintaining the momentum and community trust established during the initial grant period. By institutionalizing the Love Your Block Program, the City would continue advancing resident engagement, neighborhood revitalization, and community pride while building stronger partnerships between local government and the communities it serves.

Staff will continue to actively pursue and identify grant funding opportunities that may Packet Page. 1346
help offset or supplement General Fund contributions in future fiscal years. These efforts will support the City’s goal of leveraging outside funding sources to sustain the program while minimizing the ongoing impact to the General Fund.

Strategic Goals and Priorities
This project is consistent with Goal No. 3 Improved Quality of Life. Participation in the Love Your Block Grant will improve the City’s appearance, cleanliness, and attractiveness through the proposed community-led revitalization projects.

Fiscal Impact
The proposed Year 3 of the Love Your Block program requires $150,000 from the General Fund. Funds will need to be allocated from the General Fund to the FY 2026/27 Operating Budget for Economic Development to fund this program.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, Receive and file the Love Your Block Year 2 City Impact Presentation and adopt Resolution No. 2026-152:

5. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to allocate funds in the amount of $150,000 for the Love Your Block Program Year 3;

6. Authorizing the Director of Finance & Management Services to amend the FY 2026/2027 Operating Budget in the amount of $150,000 from the General Fund for the Love Your Block Program, and increasing the Economic Development Department’s revenues and expenditures budgets by $150,000 to reflect the receipt and expenditure of the program funds; and

7. Authorize the Director of Human Resources & Risk Management to increase the Economic Development Department’s authorized staffing level from twelve (12) to thirteen (13) full-time equivalent (FTE) positions to add one (1) Grants Assistant position, with a fully encumbered annual cost of $92,144.01.

DISCUSSION
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: September 2, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Lynn Merrill, Director of Public Works
Department: Public Works
Subject: Introduce for First Reading Ordinance No. MC-1669 Amending Chapter 19.28 (Landscaping Standards) of the
Development Code to Update Water-Efficient
Landscaping, Soil, Compost, Mulch, and Turf
Requirements (All Wards)
Recommendation:

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

1. Introduce and read by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. MC -1669 amending 19.28 (Landscaping Standards); Section 19.28.120 of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) Incorporating New Soil, Mulch, and Amendment Requirements for Water Efficient Landscaping (All Wards).

2. Schedule the adoption of Ordinance No. MC-1669 to the regular meeting of the Mayor and City Council on September 16, 2026.

City Manager's Comments
The City Manager recommends the City Council approve the introduction of the Ordinance.

Executive Summary
The City of San Bernardino Development Code Section 19.28.120 Water Efficient Landscaping Standards was last amended by Municipal Code Ordinance (MC) 1368 in February 2012. The ordinance does not reflect all the language and requirements necessary to comply with California Code of Regulations, which requires jurisdictions to enforce Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (“MWELO”), as enacted January 2, 2025. Therefore, the City Development Code must be amended with language requiring applicable landscape projects to comply with the soil preparation, compost, mulch, and recycled/post-consumer organic mulch requirements of MWELO Packet Page. 1362
and SB 1383 implementing regulations.

Background
In 2016, the California Legislature and the Governor of California enacted Senate Bill (SB) 1383, which amended the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 12. The legislation (Short-lived Climate Pollutants (SLCP): Organic Waste Reductions) aims to reduce methane and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions statewide. SB 1383 is overseen by CalRecycle, while the implementation is managed by individual jurisdictions. In order to meet the requirements of SB 1383, which became effective as of January 1, 2022, all jurisdictions are expected to implement ordinances, franchise requirements, and other regulations as necessary to achieve compliance.

Failure to meet these requirements may result in administrative and financial penalties.

Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 12, Article 8, Section 18989.2 (Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance) of the California Code of Regulations requires that a jurisdiction adopt an ordinance or other enforceable requirement requiring compliance with Title 23, Division 2, Chapter 2.7, Section 493.2(d)(2), (3), (4), and (7) of MWELO, as enacted January 2, 2025. Although the current SBMC Title 19 does include much of the language and requirements of MWELO, it was last updated in 2012 prior to the current MWELO regulatory text.

Discussion
The City of San Bernardino Development Code Section 19.28.120 Water Efficient Landscaping Standards was last amended by Municipal Code Ordinance (MC) 1368 in February 2012. The ordinance does not reflect all the language and requirements necessary to comply with SB 1383 and MWELO respectively. Therefore, the City Development Code must be amended with language requiring applicable landscape projects to comply with the state-mandated MWELO soil preparation, compost, mulch, and recycled/post-consumer organic mulch provisions. The requirements of MWELO Sections 493.2(d)(2), (3), (4), and (7) read as follows:
493.2(d) Soil Preparation, Mulch, and Amendments.

1. Soil amendments shall be incorporated according to recommendations of the soil management report and what is appropriate for the plants selected (See Section 493.1)

2. For landscape installations, compost at a rate of a minimum of four cubic yards per 1,000 square feet of pervious area shall be incorporated to a depth of six inches into the soil. Soils with greater than 6% organic matter in the top six inches of soil are exempt from adding compost and tilling.

3. A minimum three-inch (3”) layer of mulch shall be applied on all exposed soil surfaces of planting areas except in turfgrass areas, creeping or rooting groundcovers, or direct seeding applications where mulch is contraindicated.

A. To provide habitat for beneficial insects and other wildlife, up to 5% of the landscape area may be left without mulch and identified in the landscape design plan (see Section 493.2(a)(11)).

Packet Page. 1363

4. Organic mulch made from recycled or post-consumer materials shall take precedence over inorganic materials or virgin forest products unless the recycled post-consumer organic products are not locally available.

A. Organic mulches are not required where prohibited by local Fuel Modification Plan Guidelines or other applicable local ordinances. (Public Resource Code section 4291).

SB 1383 requires the City to adopt only the MWELO sections defined in the regulatory text – not the entirety of MWELO. However, to effectively implement the required sections of the MWELO, the City development code should also reflect other changes to applicable projects for the proposed subsection(s).

The proposed addition to the development code includes language to incorporate the applicable soil preparation, compost, mulch, and recycled/post-consumer organic mulch requirements set forth in Title 23, Division 2, Chapter 2.7, Section 493.2(d)(2), (3), (4), and (7) of the CCR. This language update includes by reference applicable provisions within the proposed section, including project thresholds. The specific section additions include Section 19.28.120(1)(B), confirming that the City’s Water Efficient Landscaping Standards are intended to be at least as effective as MWELO; Section 19.28.120(14), incorporating applicable MWELO provisions related to soil preparation, mulch, and amendments; Section 19.28.120(15), establishing restrictions on non-functional turf; and Section 19.28.120(16), adding definitions to support consistent interpretation and implementation of the amended standards. In doing so, the Development Code will have continuity with MWELO, SB 1383, and related state water conservation requirements.

The proposed ordinance also retains non-functional turf restrictions and related definitions to support implementation of the City’s water efficient landscaping standards and to provide clear standards for applicants, staff, and the public.

The proposed ordinance was presented to Planning Commission held on June 9, 2026, where it was unanimously approved and forwarded as a recommendation to Mayor and City Council.

The proposed ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that the adoption of an ordinance to implement state-mandated water efficiency requirements will not result in a significant effect on the environment. The City is amending the existing Landscaping Standards in a capacity necessary to implement MWELO, as contained in Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 12, Article 8, Section 18989.2 of the California Code of Regulations. Therefore, no further CEQA review is required.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Ordinance No. MC-1669 Amending Section 19.28.120 Water Efficient Landscape Standards aligns with Key Target Goal No. 1e: Minimize risk and litigation exposure.

Packet Page. 1364
By updting the Development Code to reflect the requirements of the CalRecycle regulations, the City minimizes the risk of penalties and fines for non-compliance.

Fiscal Impact
It is anticipated projects subject to the new MWELO requirements can expect marginal increased costs for materials and hauling related to new landscaping compost and mulch incorporation. Other marginal costs may be associated with engineering design and compliance management. Landscape plan checks are not anticipated to see an increased cost and have an existing review and inspection work flow process.

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

2. Schedule the adoption of Ordinance No. MC-1669 to the regular meeting of the Mayor and City Council on September 16, 2026.

3. The three basic types of screens that are required by Table 28.01 "Screening Requirements," are as follows:

A. OPAQUE SCREEN, TYPE A
A screen that is opaque from the ground to a height of at least six feet, with intermittent visual obstructions from the opaque portion to a height of at least 20 feet. An opaque screen is intended to exclude all visual contact between uses and to create a strong impression of spatial separation. The opaque screen may be composed of a wall, fence, or densely planted vegetation. Compliance of planted vegetative screens will be judged on the basis of the average mature height and density of foliage of the subject species, or field observation of existing vegetation. The opaque portion of the screen must be opaque in all seasons of the year. At maturity, the portion of intermittent visual obstructions should not contain any completely unobstructed openings more than 10 feet wide. Suggested planting patterns are shown in Figure 28-1.

B. SEMI-OPAQUE SCREEN, TYPE B
A screen that is opaque from the ground to height of 3 feet, with intermittent visual obstruction from above the opaque portion to a height of at least 20 feet. The semiopaque screen is intended to partially block visual contact between uses and to create a strong impression of the separation of spaces. The semi-opaque screen may be composed of a wall, fence, landscaped earth berm, or planted vegetation. Compliance of planted vegetative screens will be judged on the basis of the average mature height and density of foliage of the subject species, or field observation of existing vegetation. At maturity, the portion of intermittent visual obstructions should not contain any completely unobstructed openings more than 15 feet wide.

C. BROKEN SCREEN, TYPE C
A screen composed of intermittent visual obstructions from the ground to a height of at least 20 feet. The broken screen is intended to create the impression of a separation of spaces without necessarily eliminating visual contact between the spaces. It may be composed of a wall, fence, landscaped earth berm, planted vegetation or existing vegetation. Compliance of planted vegetative screens or natural vegetation will be judged on the basis of the average mature height and density of foliage of the subject species, or field observation of existing vegetation. The screen may contain deciduous plants.

4. The screening requirements set forth in this section may be interpreted with some flexibility by the Director and Commission in their enforcement of the standards.

It is recognized that because of the wide variety of types of developments and the relationships between them, it is neither possible nor prudent to establish inflexible screening requirements.

Therefore, minor deviations may be granted to allow less intensive screening, or requirements for more intensive screening may be imposed, whenever such deviations are more likely to satisfy the intent of this section.

19.28.090 MAINTENANCE OF LANDSCAPING

1. Maintenance of approved landscaping shall consist of regular watering, mowing, pruning, fertilizing, clearing of debris and weeds, the removal and replacement of dead plants, and the repair and replacement of irrigation systems and integrated architectural features.

2. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, the landowner shall file a maintenance agreement or covenant and easement to enter and maintain, subject to the approval of the City Attorney. The agreement or covenant and easement to enter and maintain shall ensure that if the landowner, or subsequent owners, fails to maintain the required/installed site improvements, the City will be able to file an appropriate lien(s) against the property in order to accomplish the required maintenance.

19.28.100 REMOVAL OR DESTRUCTION OF TREES
Removal of healthy, shade providing, aesthetically valuable trees shall be discouraged. In the event that more than five trees are to be cut down, uprooted, destroyed or removed within a 36 month period, a permit shall first be issued by the Department. An arborist survey and report may be required at the developer’s expense, to evaluate existing trees prior to the issuance of a tree removal permit, as determined by the Director of Community Development. Unless there is a pre-approved tree replacement plan, each tree that is removed in a new subdivision and is determined to be of significant value by the Community Development Director shall be replaced with a 36 inch box specimen tree in the subdivision in addition to any other required landscaping. Such a plan does not necessarily require a tree for tree replacement provision. Commercial tree farms, City Government projects, and individual single-family residential lots less than one acre shall be exempt from this provision.

• Senate Bill (SB) 1383, enacted in 2016, and effective January 1, 2022, requires that a jurisdiction adopt an ordinance or other enforceable requirement requiring compliance with Title 23, Division 2, Chapter 2.7, Section 493.2(d)(2), (3), (4), and (7) of MWELO, as enacted January 2, 2025. • The current San Bernardino Municipal Code Title 19 (SBMC), containing the Development Code, does include much of the language and requirements of MWELO.
• Development Code Section 19.28.120 Water Efficient Landscaping Standards was last amended by Municipal Code Ordinance (MC) 1368 in February 2012.

What is the purpose of this change?
Packet Page. 1401
What additions are being included in the ordinance?
• SBMC 19.28.120 must be amended with language requiring applicable landscape projects to comply with the state-mandated MWELO soil preparation, compost, mulch, and recycled/post-consumer organic mulch provisions. • SB 1383 requires the City to adopt only the MWELO sections defined in the regulatory text – not the entirety of MWELO. However, to effectively implement the required sections of the MWELO, the City development code should also reflect other changes to applicable projects for the proposed subsection(s).

Packet Page. 1402
Requirements of MWELO Sections 493.2(d)(2), (3), (4), and (7) (Shortened)
• 2: Soil amendments incorporated according to recommendation of the soil management report and what is appropriate for the plants selected. • 3: Minimum incorporation of compost at a minimum of four cubic yards per 1,000 square feet of pervious area to a depth of six-inches.
• 4: Minimum three-inch layer of mulch applied on all exposed soil surfaces of planting areas. To provide habitat for insects and other wildlife, up to 5% of the landscape area may be left without mulch.
• 7: Organic mulch made from recycled or post-consumer materials shall take precedence over inorganic materials or virgin forest products.

Packet Page. 1403
SBMC Title 19 Sections Proposed Additions
• 19.28.120(1)(B): A new section included confirming that the City’s Water Efficient Landscaping Standards are intended to be at least as effective as MWELO. • 19.28.120(14): Incorporates applicable MWELO provisions related to soil preparation, mulch, and amendments. Primary change that is directly adopting MWELO 493.2(d) by reference.
• 19.28.120(16): Adds definitions for consistent interpretation and implementation of the amended standards. Definitions found in SBMC Title 19 may be contradictory to the section; this change will resolve this concern.

Packet Page. 1404
CEQA Consideration
The proposed project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that the adoption of an ordinance to implement state-mandated water efficiency requirements will not result in a significant effect on the environment. The City is amending the existing Landscaping Standards in a capacity necessary to implement MWELO, as contained in Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 12, Article 8, Section 18989.2 of the California Code of Regulations. Therefore, no further CEQA review is required.

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

Introduce, read by title only, and waive further reading, Ordinance No. MC 2026- XXX amending Title 19 (Land Use/Subdivision Regulations); Chapter 19.28 (Landscaping Standards); Section 19.28.120 of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19).

Schedule the adoption of the above Ordinance to the regular meeting of the Mayor and City Council on September 16, 2026.
