combination with the impacts of other past, present, and future projects, would not contribute to cumulatively significant effects.
c) Would the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Impact Analysis – Less Than Significant with Mitigation Under this threshold, the types of impacts analyzed consist of those that affect human health and well-being. As indicated by this Initial Study, the Project may cause or result in certain potentially significant environmental impacts that directly or indirectly affect human beings with respect to air quality, agriculture and forestry resources, geology and soils, energy, hazards, and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, recreation, transportation, utilities and service systems, and wildfire. In instances where impacts have been identified, mandatory compliance with federal, state, or local law is currently in place that effectively reduces environmental impacts. Potentially significant impacts related to these resources are mitigated by Mitigation Measures MM AQ-1 and MM NOI-1. Therefore, the potential adverse environmental impacts of the Project, in combination with the impacts of other past, present, and future projects, would not contribute to cumulatively significant effects.
Summary of Mitigation Measures
The following is a summary of Mitigation Measures for the convenience of the public and decision makers. Detailed analysis supporting each measure is provided in the applicable sections of this Initial Study.
Air Quality
MM AQ- 1 Diesel-Powered Equipment. Require all diesel-powered equipment used during construction to have an engine rating of Tier 4 Final.
Biological Resources
MM BIO-1 Burrowing Owl Preconstruction Survey. While suitable burrowing owl burrows are not present on the Project site at this time, there is potential for burrowing owl to occupy the site in the future; therefore, a one-visit pre-construction burrowing owl survey per CDFW protocols is required within 30 days before the initiation of construction:
• Pre-Construction Survey. A qualified Biologist shall conduct a protocol-level burrowing owl presence/absence survey of the Project site and a 500-foot buffer no more than 30 days prior to initiation of ground disturbance, in accordance with the CDFW 2012 Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. Survey results shall be documented in a letter report submitted to the Lead Agency and CDFW prior to commencement of construction.
o If No Owls Are Detected. The letter report shall be submitted to the Lead Agency and CDFW for review and approval. If construction is delayed more than 30 days beyond the survey date, a new pre-construction survey shall be Packet Page. 291
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Little Mountain Residential 4.21 Mandatory Findings of Significance City of San Bernardino 126
required.
o If Owls Are Detected. The qualified Biologist shall immediately notify the Lead Agency and CDFW, and CDFW-protocol buffer distances shall be established and delineated around all active burrows prior to any ground disturbance.
No construction activities shall occur within established buffers until the qualified Biologist confirms in writing that the burrow is no longer active, based on a minimum of three consecutive weeks of no observed owl activity.
The qualified Biologist shall conduct weekly buffer compliance monitoring and submit reports to the Lead Agency throughout the active construction period
MM BIO-2 Nesting Bird Preconstruction Survey. To avoid and minimize impacts on nesting birds and raptors, construction should be scheduled to begin between September 1 and January 31, which is outside the nesting season, if possible. If construction activities must occur during the nesting season (i.e., generally between February 1 and June 30 for raptors and between March 1 and August 31 for other nesting birds), a pre-construction nesting bird survey should be conducted by a qualified Biologist within 3 days prior to vegetation removal, ground disturbance, or initiation of construction activities. If the Biologist (as defined below) finds an active nest within or adjacent to the construction area, the Biologist will identify an appropriate protective buffer zone around the nest based on the species' sensitivity, the nature of the construction activity, and the level of existing disturbance in the vicinity.
Construction may be temporarily restricted in the area of the nest until nesting is complete, as determined by the Biologist.
Cultural Resources
MM CUL-1 The Applicant shall retain an archaeologist who meets the requirements of the Secretary of the Interior (SOI) Professional Qualifications Standards (“Qualified Archaeologist”) prior to the issuance of grading permits. If archaeological resources are discovered at the Project site, they will be handled as described below. All artifacts discovered shall be inventoried and analyzed by the SOI Archaeologist. If any artifacts of Native American origin are discovered, all activities in the immediate vicinity of the find (within a 60-foot radius) shall stop, and the SOI Archaeologist shall notify the Applicant, City, and the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (YSMN), the AB 52 consulting tribe for the Project, as detailed in MM TCR-1. A designated Native American representative from YSMN shall be retained to help analyze the Native American artifacts for identification as everyday life and/or religious or sacred items, cultural affiliation, temporal placement, and function, as deemed possible. The significance of Native American resources shall be evaluated in accordance with CEQA and shall consider the religious beliefs, customs, and practices of the affiliated tribes. All items found in association with Native American human remains shall be regarded as grave goods or sacred in origin and subject to special handling.
Packet Page. 292
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Little Mountain Residential 4.21 Mandatory Findings of Significance City of San Bernardino 127
Native American artifacts relocated or reinterred at the Project site would be subject to a fully executed relocation/reburial agreement with the assisting Native American tribes or bands. This shall include measures and provisions to protect the reburial area from any future impacts. Relocation/reburial shall not occur until all cataloging and basic recordation are complete. Native American artifacts that cannot be avoided or relocated at the Project site shall be prepared in a manner for curation at either a Native American facility or an accredited curation facility in San Bernardino County that meets federal standards per 36 CFR Part 79 and makes the artifacts available to other archaeologists/researchers/ Native American community members for further study. The SOI Archaeologist shall deliver the Native American artifacts, including title, to the accredited curation facility within a reasonable amount of time, along with the fees necessary for permanent curation.
Non-Native American artifacts shall be inventoried, assessed, and analyzed for cultural affiliation, personal affiliation (prior ownership), function, and temporal placement. After analysis and reporting, these artifacts will be either curated or returned to the property owner, as deemed appropriate. All artifacts, except for human remains and related grave goods or sacred/ceremonial objects, belong to the property owner.
MM CUL-2 In the event that cultural resources are discovered during project activities, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find (within a 60-foot buffer) shall cease, and a qualified archaeologist meeting Secretary of the Interior standards shall be hired to assess the find. Work on the other portions of the project outside of the buffered area may continue during this assessment period. Additionally, the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation Cultural Resources Department (YSMN) shall be contacted, as detailed within TCR-1, regarding any pre-contact finds and be provided information after the archaeologist makes his/her initial assessment of the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regards to significance and treatment.
MM CUL-3 If significant pre-contact cultural resources, as defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), are discovered and avoidance cannot be ensured, the archaeologist shall develop a Monitoring and Treatment Plan, the drafts of which shall be provided to YSMN for review and comment, as detailed within TCR-1. The archaeologist shall monitor the remainder of the project and implement the Plan accordingly.
Geology and Soils
MM PALEO-1 Inadvertent Discovery of Paleontological Resources. If potential paleontological resources are discovered during ground-disturbing activities, work shall stop in that area and within 30 feet of the find until a qualified paleontologist can assess the significance of the find and, if necessary, develop appropriate treatment measures. Treatment measures may include monitoring by a qualified paleontologist during construction-related ground-disturbing activities. The monitor will retain the option to reduce tracking if it is determined that the sediments were previously disturbed. Monitoring may also be decreased if Packet Page. 293
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Little Mountain Residential 4.21 Mandatory Findings of Significance City of San Bernardino 128
potentially fossiliferous units are absent or, if present, are determined to have low potential to contain fossil resources. The monitor will be equipped to salvage fossils and samples of sediments as they are unearthed and will be empowered to temporarily halt or divert equipment to allow the removal of abundant or large specimens. Recovered specimens will be prepared to a point of identification and permanent preservation, including washing of sediments to recover small invertebrates and vertebrates. Specimens will be curated into a professional, accredited museum repository with permanent, retrievable storage. A report of findings, with an appended itemized inventory of specimens, will be prepared and will signify completion of the mitigation.
Noise
MM NOI-1 Construction Management Program. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the following notes shall be included on grading plans and building plans. Project contractors shall be required to ensure compliance with the notes and permit periodic inspection of the construction site by City of San Bernardino staff or its designee to confirm compliance. These notes shall also be specified in bid documents issued to prospective construction contractors. vii. Construction should occur during the permissible hours as defined in Section 8.54.050.
viii. During construction, the contractor shall ensure all construction equipment is equipped with appropriate noise attenuating devices. ix. The contractor should locate equipment staging areas that will create the most significant distance between construction-related noise/vibration sources and sensitive receptors nearest the project site during all project construction.
x. Idling equipment should be turned off when not in use. xi. Equipment shall be maintained so that vehicles and their loads are secured from rattling and banging.
xii. The retaining/perimeter wall will be constructed during the grading phase to minimize the impact of construction noise during the subsequent stages.
PDF NOI-1 Sound Wall.
▪ A 7 ft sound wall shall be installed at the property line abutting Little Mountain Drive to reduce the exterior noise levels at the residential buildings located directly facing the roadway by ~10 dB, reducing the estimated 72 dBA CNEL down to 64 dBA CNEL, which falls within the normally acceptable category. ▪ Any upper floor facades (above the shielding of the wall) facing Little Mountain Drive should have STC 30 or higher to achieve the requirements for interior noise levels.
Packet Page. 294
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Little Mountain Residential 4.21 Mandatory Findings of Significance City of San Bernardino 129
▪ Once the final design is ready, a final exterior-to-interior noise isolation study shall be conducted to ensure that the interior noise levels are within the City’s requirements.
Tribal Cultural Resources
MM TCR-1 The Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation Cultural
Resources Management Department (YSMN) shall be contacted, as detailed in CUL-2, of any pre-contact cultural resources discovered during project implementation, and be provided information regarding the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regards to significance and treatment. Should the find be deemed significant, as defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), a Cultural Resources Monitoring and Treatment Plan shall be created by the archaeologist, in coordination with YSMN, and all subsequent finds shall be subject to this Plan. This Plan shall allow for a monitor to be present that represents YSMN for the remainder of the project, should YSMN elect to place a monitor on-site.
MM TCR – 2 Any archaeological/cultural documents created as a part of the project (isolated records, site records, survey reports, testing reports, etc.) shall be supplied to the applicant and Lead Agency for dissemination to YSMN. The Lead Agency and/or applicant shall, in good faith, coordinate with YSMN throughout all ground-disturbing activities associated with project construction, consistent with the mitigation measures adopted for the project pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21082.3.

5 Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:
General Plan Land Use Element Policy 2.2.1: Ensure
compatibility between land uses and quality design through adherence to standards and regulations in the Development Code and policies and guidelines in the Community Design Element.
General Plan Land Use Element Goal 2.4: Enhance the
quality of life and economic vitality in San Bernardino by strategic in-fill of new development and revitalization of existing development.
General Plan Community Design Element Goal 5.4: Ensure
individual projects are well designed and maintained.
Finding No. 2: The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
Finding of Fact: The proposed amendment will not harm the public interest, health, safety, or welfare of the City. Rezoning the site from Commercial Office (CO) to Residential Medium (RM) will enable a Planned Unit Development allocating units to our RHNA numbers and available housing stock.
Updating the City of San Bernardino Development Code to allow Planned Residential Developments (PRDs) to use project-specific setbacks and site coverage—rather than fixed standards—aligns with industry practices and supports increased density. Safety will be ensured through case-by-case review by the Fire Department and Building and Safety, with measures such as fire-rated walls and interface plans.
Finding No. 3: The proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City.
Finding of Fact: The proposed amendment would result in the entirety of the project site having the Residential Medium (RM) Zoning District Classification to allow for the development and establishment of a Planned Unit Development comprised of sixty-eight (68) detached single-family residences.

during grading and trenching during the construction of the Project. Therefore, the following mitigation is required.
Mitigation Measures
MM CUL-1 Discovery of Archaeological Resources. The Applicant shall retain an archaeologist who meets the requirements of the Secretary of the Interior (SOI) Professional Qualifications Standards (“Qualified Archaeologist”) prior to the issuance of grading permits. If archaeological resources are discovered at the Project site, they will be handled as described below. All artifacts discovered shall be inventoried and analyzed by the SOI Archaeologist. If any artifacts of Native American origin are discovered, all activities in the immediate vicinity of the find (within a 50-foot radius) shall stop, and the SOI Archaeologist shall notify the Applicant, City, and the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (YSMN), the AB 52 consulting tribe for the Project, as detailed in MM TCR-1. A designated Native American representative from YSMN shall be retained to help analyze the Native American artifacts for identification as everyday life and/or religious or sacred items, cultural affiliation, temporal placement, and function, as deemed possible. The significance of Native American resources shall be evaluated in accordance with CEQA and shall consider the religious beliefs, customs, and practices of the affiliated tribes. All items found in association with Native American human remains shall be regarded as grave goods or sacred in origin and subject to special handling.
Native American artifacts relocated or reinterred at the Project site would be subject to a fully executed relocation/reburial agreement with the assisting Native American tribes or bands. This shall include measures and provisions to protect the reburial area from any future impacts. Relocation/reburial shall not occur until all cataloging and basic recordation are complete. Native American artifacts that cannot be avoided or relocated at the Project site shall be prepared in a manner for curation at either a Native American facility or an accredited curation facility in San Bernardino County that meets federal standards per 36 CFR Part 79 and makes the artifacts available to other archaeologists/researchers/ Native American community members for further study. The SOI Archaeologist shall deliver the Native American artifacts, including title, to the accredited curation facility within a reasonable amount of time, along with the fees necessary for permanent curation.
Non-Native American artifacts shall be inventoried, assessed, and analyzed for cultural affiliation, personal affiliation (prior ownership), function, and temporal placement. After analysis and reporting, these artifacts will be either curated or returned to the property owner, as deemed appropriate. All artifacts, except for human remains and related grave goods or sacred/ceremonial objects, belong to the property owner.
MM CUL-2 In the event that cultural resources are discovered during project activities, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find (within a 60-foot buffer) shall cease, and a qualified archaeologist meeting Secretary of the Interior standards shall be hired to assess the find.
Work on the other portions of the project outside of the buffered area may continue during this assessment period. Additionally, the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation Cultural Resources Department (YSMN) shall be contacted, as detailed within TCR-1, regarding any pre-contact finds and be provided information after the archaeologist makes his/her initial assessment of the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regards to significance and treatment.

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Little Mountain Residential 4.5 Cultural Resources
City of San Bernardino 52
MM CUL-3 If significant pre-contact cultural resources, as defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), are discovered and avoidance cannot be ensured, the archaeologist shall develop a Monitoring and Treatment Plan, the drafts of which shall be provided to YSMN for review and comment, as detailed within TCR-1. The archaeologist shall monitor the remainder of the project and implement the Plan accordingly.
c) Would the project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?
Impact Analysis – Less Than Significant
The Project site does not contain a cemetery, and no known formal cemeteries are located within the immediate site vicinity. If human remains are discovered during Project grading or other ground-disturbing activities, the Project would be required to comply with the applicable provisions of California Health and Safety Code §7050.5 and Public Resources Code §5097 et seq., as required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(e). With mandatory compliance with these existing statutory requirements, impacts under Threshold 4.5(c) would be less than significant.

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Little Mountain Residential 4.18 Tribal Cultural Resources City of San Bernardino 107
As discussed in Section 4.5, Cultural Resources, the Phase I Archaeological and Paleontological Resources Study (Appendix C) did not identify any historical or archaeological resources on the Project site. A Sacred Lands File (SLF) search was conducted by Psomas on April 6, 2025 from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The NAHC SLF search came back positive for sacred lands important to the Native American community. The City conducted AB 52 consultation with the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (YSMN) (discussed below), which did not identify any tribal cultural resources that are listed or eligible for listing in the CRHR. However, because there is a possibility of encountering subsurface resources during grading that could qualify as both historical and tribal cultural resources, Mitigation Measures MM CUL-1 through MM CUL-3 require retention of a qualified archaeologist, notification of YSMN upon any pre-contact discovery, and preparation of a Monitoring and Treatment Plan if significant resources are found. With implementation of these measures, impacts would be less than significant with mitigation.
b) A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resource Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe? Impact Analysis – Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Assembly Bill (AB) 52 created a process for consultation with California Native American Tribes in the CEQA process. Tribal Governments can request consultation with a lead agency and give input into potential impacts on tribal cultural resources before the agency decides what kind of environmental assessment is appropriate for a proposed Project.
The City of San Bernardino commenced the AB 52 process by sending consultation invitation letters to tribes that had previously requested notification pursuant to Public Resources Code § 21080.3.1. The Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (YSMN) responded August 27, 2026 and asked that the following mitigation measures be incorporated.
Mitigation Measures
MM TCR-1 The Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation Cultural Resources Management Department (YSMN) shall be contacted, as detailed in CUL-2, of any pre-contact cultural resources discovered during project implementation, and be provided information regarding the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regard to significance and treatment. Should the find be deemed significant, as defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), a Cultural Resources Monitoring and Treatment Plan shall be created by the archaeologist, in coordination with YSMN, and all subsequent finds shall be subject to this Plan. This Plan shall allow for a monitor to be present that represents YSMN for the remainder of the project, should YSMN elect to place a monitor on-site.
MM TCR-2: Any archaeological/cultural documents created as a part of the project (isolated records, site records, survey reports, testing reports, etc.) shall be supplied to the applicant and Lead Agency for dissemination to YSMN. The Lead Agency and/or applicant shall, in good faith, coordinate with YSMN throughout all ground-disturbing activities associated with project construction, consistent with the mitigation measures adopted for the project pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21082.3.

Project:
Proposed project on approximately 5.82 acres at N. Miramonte Dr. and N. Little Mountain Road, involving a General Plan amendment from Commercial to Multiple-Family Residential and a zoning change from Commercial Office (CO) to Residential Medium (RM). The project would subdivide the property into 68 single-family and construct 68 two-story detached Planned Residential Development (PRD) homes. The proposal also includes amendments to the Development Code to allow project-specific setbacks for PRDs. APNs: 0148-303-21, 22, 24, and 26; Ward 2.
Background:
August 11, 2026 – Planning Commission approved Resolution 2026-024 unanimously, with no public opposition.
September 2, 2026 – Notices were mailed to properties within 1,000 feet regarding the September 16, 2026, City Council meeting.
September 5, 2026 – Legal notice was published in the San Bernardino Sun.
Packet Page. 483
Discussion:
General Plan/Zoning: The project proposes changing the 5.82-acre site from Commercial to Multiple-Family Residential and rezoning it from Commercial Office (CO) to Residential Medium (RM). The Development Code would also be amended to allow project-specific setbacks for the Planned Residential Development. The proposed 68-unit project would be consistent with the City’s General Plan and Development Code.
Subdivision: Tentative Tract Map No. 20826 would subdivide the site into 68 single-family residential lots ranging from approximately 7,200 to 8,600 square feet. The proposed density is approximately 11 units per acre, within the RM zoning allowance.
Architecture/Site Design: The development includes 68 two-story detached homes ranging from approximately 1,435 to 1,728 square feet. Four floor plans and three architectural styles—Santa Barbara, Spanish Colonial, and Italianate—provide variety while maintaining a cohesive neighborhood design. Each home includes three or four bedrooms, two-car garages, and private rear yards.
Packet Page. 484
Discussion:
Access/Parking: Primary access will be from N. Miramonte Drive, with secondary access from Little Mountain Drive. The project provides 136 garage spaces, 41 guest parking spaces, and two ADA-accessible spaces. EV charging options will also be provided.
Landscaping/Amenities: Landscaping will incorporate drought-tolerant, regionally appropriate plants and cover approximately 20% of the parking area, exceeding the City’s 15% requirement. Five community amenities are proposed, including pedestrian paths, shade structures, a gathering lawn, playground, and BBQ area.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: September 16, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Eric Levitt, City Manager
Department: City Manager's Office
Subject: Approve Funding in the Amount of $42,250 to Conduct a Creative Economy Study in Partnership with Arts
Connection: Arts Council of San Bernardino County (All
Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Approve partnering with Arts Connection: Arts Council of San Bernardino County to co-fund a Creative Economy Study in an amount not-to-exceed $42,250 using Cultural Development Funds; and
2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute any necessary documents associated with the City's participation in the Creative Economy Study, subject to review and approval by the City Attorney's Office
City Manager's Comments
The Arts Connection has requested the City’s partnership in co-funding a Creative Economy study. The City’s funding would come out of the $1 million Cultural Development Fund that the City Council allocated.
Executive Summary
The City of San Bernardino has a variety of arts, cultural, and creative assets that contribute to the City's identity and have the potential to support downtown revitalization and economic development. To better understand these opportunities and establish a data-driven foundation for future decisions, Arts Connection: Arts Council of San Bernardino County (Arts Connection) is proposing to partner with the City to conduct a Creative Economy Study. The study will establish a baseline of San Bernardino's creative economy, including an assessment of the E Street corridor; evaluate potential funding and financing mechanisms to increase revenue; and Packet Page. 501
develop a fiscal planning roadmap for future actions. The study will provide the City with a final report and analysis that can be used to evaluate potential investments, policies, and funding strategies related to arts, culture, downtown revitalization, and economic development. The total cost of the study is $84,500, with the City contributing $42,250 and Arts Connection providing the remaining funding. The City's contribution will be funded from the $1 million allocation approved by the City Council for arts initiatives, which was included in the FY 2026-27 adopted budget and funded through Cultural Development Funds.
Background
The creative economy includes businesses, workers, and organizations whose activities are based on creativity, culture, and artistic expression. It comprises industries such as arts and entertainment, music and film, and other creative businesses and occupations. A strong creative economy can generate jobs and business activity while also contributing to downtown revitalization, investment, and quality of life.
San Bernardino has an established network of arts and cultural organizations that contribute to the City's identity and creative ecosystem. Organizations such as Arts Connection, the Garcia Center, San Bernardino Arts Collaborative, and SSB Collaborative, among others, have worked to support the City's creative community and increase participation in the arts. The City also plays a role in this network as it owns significant cultural assets, including the California Theatre, which can serve as a geographic focus for cultural and economic activity.
Discussion
Arts Connection has proposed partnering with the City to commission a comprehensive Creative Economy Study, which would be conducted by CVL Economics. The study will be conducted over eight months and will examine how the City's existing arts and cultural assets can contribute to downtown revitalization and broader economic development. The resulting analysis will provide a formal assessment of the City's current creative economy, identify how its existing assets can be leveraged to support economic development, and highlight areas where additional investment may provide the greatest economic benefit.
The total cost of the proposed study is $84,500. The City would fund 50% of the study, or $42,250, with Arts Connection covering the remaining 50%. The City’s share of the costs would be funded from the $1 million allocation that the Council approved for arts initiatives, which was included in the FY 2026-27 adopted budget and funded through Cultural Development Funds.
Creative Economy Study
The Creative Economy Study will provide the City with a final report and supporting analysis that can be used as a planning tool when considering future economic development and downtown revitalization initiatives. The final report is anticipated to be completed in April 2027 and will serve as an objective assessment of the economic Packet Page. 502
role that arts, culture, and other creative businesses have in San Bernardino.
Specifically, the study will:
1. Establish a baseline of San Bernardino's creative economy, including employment, businesses, wages, and occupations. The baseline analysis will provide information regarding the size and characteristics of the local creative economy and identify areas where the City may have opportunities for additional economic development.
2. Assess the E Street corridor, including real estate conditions, property ownership, vacancy, rents, and creative business activity. The study will establish an inventory of corridor assets and evaluate how those assets relate to the City's broader creative economy. The assessment will also provide a recommendation regarding the potential geographic boundaries of a cultural district along the corridor.
3. Evaluate potential funding and financing mechanisms that could support arts and culture, downtown revitalization, corridor improvements, and related activities.
The evaluation will identify the potential benefits, limitations, requirements, and implementation considerations associated with the various mechanisms.
4. Develop a Fiscal Planning Roadmap identifying potential near-term, mediumterm, and long-term actions. Near-term opportunities may include ordinances or budget actions that could be pursued within the current fiscal year. Medium-term opportunities may require additional stakeholder engagement or a ballot process, while longer-term opportunities may require more significant structural commitments.
Upon completion, the study will produce a final report and presentation summarizing the analysis and recommendations developed through the study. Key deliverables will include:
• E Street Corridor Opportunity Assessment Memo
• Priority Mechanisms and Supporting Mechanisms Council Digest • Fiscal Planning Roadmap and Talking Points Memorandum • Final Report and Presentation Slide Deck
Strategic Goals and Priorities
Commissioning a Creative Economy Study aligns with Key Target No. 4: Economic Growth and Development by producing a final report and fiscal planning roadmap that can be used to help revitalize the City’s downtown and promote economic development.
Packet Page. 503
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact associated with this action is $42,250 in Cultural Development Funds.
Sufficient funding exists through the $1 million arts allocation that is included in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 adopted budget to support this cost.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Approve partnering with Arts Connection: Arts Council of San Bernardino County to co-fund a Creative Economy Study in an amount not-to-exceed $42,250 using Cultural Development Funds; and
2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute any necessary documents associated with the City's participation in the Creative Economy Study, subject to review and approval by the City Attorney's Office

Dear Alejandro:
On behalf of CVL Economics, I am pleased to submit this proposal to support Arts Connection and your partners in advancing a stronger case for investment in San Bernardino’s creative economy. San Bernardino has spent years building the civic and community foundation necessary for a serious conversation about cultural investment. Through the efforts of Arts Connection, the Garcia Center, the San Bernardino Arts Collaborative, Just SB Collaborative and many others, arts and culture have emerged as a recognized community priority. Today, the question facing local leaders is not whether arts and culture matter, but how those assets can be leveraged to support downtown revitalization, strengthen community identity, and expand economic opportunity.
Our role is to provide an objective foundation for those decisions. Through rigorous analysis of San Bernardino’s creative economy, the E Street corridor, and a range of potential funding and governance mechanisms, we will identify opportunities, constraints, and practical pathways forward. The result will be a roadmap that helps decision-makers evaluate options and equips community leaders with a shared evidence base for future action. This work builds directly on CVL Economics’ experience supporting arts, culture, and creative economy initiatives across California. Our team brings expertise in creative economy research, public finance, economic development strategy, and place-based revitalization, along with a deep understanding of the opportunities and constraints facing California communities.
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal. We would welcome the opportunity to partner with Arts Connection on this important effort. If you have any questions regarding our approach, scope, or qualifications, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or (646) 479-1497.
Sincerely,
Uday Ram

5 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of San Bernardino is at a useful moment for evidence-based work on the creative economy.
Three developments make the work timely; a set of fiscal constraints shapes what it should attempt. This section describes both, then explains how CVL Economics would approach the work and why the firm is positioned to lead it.
TIMING
Three signals make this the right moment to commit research effort to how the city funds and grows its creative economy. First, a cultural district designation application for the E Street corridor has advanced to the second round of the California Arts Council program, drawing Council attention to the corridor as a cultural and economic asset, and the Council is weighing city-level designation as a parallel pathway.
The corridor anchors much of the city's cultural identity: it includes the California Theatre and is the historic cruising corridor.
Second, the Council has signaled interest in arts and culture as a downtown revitalization mechanism, with discussions underway on the structure of an investment commitment and on how a study could strengthen the case for it. Finally, the SSB Collaborative has spent seven years building the community engagement that establishes arts and culture as a community priority, and the coalition is positioned to translate findings into political support. Each condition can soften over time, and the engagement is sized to deliver findings while they remain useful.
FISCAL CONTEXT
The city's fiscal posture is constrained, in part by the aftermath of the 2012 bankruptcy, and the General Fund has a history of absorbing dedicated revenue, including the prior one percent for the arts allocation. Four city managers in roughly the past year have left institutional memory volatile. The property and business improvement district research effort of the past three to four years remains inactive. And several downtown buildings sit vacant, with creative businesses and artist studios among the first to reoccupy commercial space along the E Street corridor. The study is built to work within these constraints rather than against them. Rather than recommend restoring any single line item, it examines the fiscal mechanisms that match the city's actual conditions and produces a roadmap of pragmatic options, each with clear pros, cons, and conditions for success.
Packet Page. 511
6 APPROACH
We draw a deliberate line between analysis and advocacy. Our analysis is independent decision support:
we follow the evidence, and where it is mixed, we say so. Arts Connection and its coalition partners carry the advocacy, and several deliverables are built expressly for that purpose, accurate enough to withstand scrutiny and clear enough for the coalition to use directly in its own case-making.
Generic best practices orient the work but rarely substitute for recommendations. For each mechanism, we assess the statutory framework, the procedural steps to adoption, the revenue scale realistic for the city's economic base, the political and stakeholder dynamics, and the failure modes seen elsewhere.
Where we make a quantitative claim, we cite it; where we cannot, we mark it for confirmation during initiation rather than estimate it; and where an analysis rests on an assumption, we state the assumption and note what would change the conclusion if it does not hold.
RISKS
A few risks are worth flagging at the outset:
Institutional memory volatility at the city. Four city managers in roughly the past year, possible shifts in Council composition, and unstable institutional memory of the cultural district application, the prior one percent for the arts policy, and the dormant PBID research effort all introduce risk. The engagement works primarily through the Arts Connection coalition rather than through city staff dependencies, which mitigates it, and we will track Council and citymanager transitions and flag the implications for our recommendations. Political viability of any one mechanism. No single mechanism is guaranteed to be politically viable. The four we examine in depth were chosen because they fit the city's conditions, but each has political failure modes, which is why the engagement produces a menu of options rather than one recommendation. If our analysis shows a priority mechanism is not feasible, we will say so directly and reweight the supporting briefs toward alternatives. Momentum window closure before delivery. The current alignment of designation momentum, Council appetite, and coalition readiness will not persist indefinitely. The interim deliverables at the close of each phase give Arts Connection material to use during the engagement, not only at its end. If momentum is lost during the work, through a Council shift or a setback on the designation, we will reassess the framing of the policy roadmap with the client team.
A confirmed commitment from the regional philanthropic funder, a Council vote on the cultural district designation that materially shifts the political space, or substantial new evidence on the bankruptcy property tax diversion mechanics would each warrant a scope conversation.

7 SCOPE OF WORK
This work plan sets out CVL Economics' approach to the City of San Bernardino Creative Economy Study.
The base engagement runs seven phases across approximately eight months, moving from project initiation and a creative economy baseline through a corridor opportunity assessment, deep feasibility analysis of four priority fiscal mechanisms, shorter briefs on eight additional mechanisms, and a synthesizing policy roadmap before final report production. * An optional regional and county overlay,
described after the base scope, can be added if a parallel philanthropic funder commits within the engagement window.
PHASE 1: PROJECT INITIATION
DELIVERABLES: (1) Project Charter
The engagement opens by aligning on objectives, analytical approach, and the data assets that anchor the study. Confirming scope and data access at the outset keeps the work grounded in San Bernardino's actual conditions rather than assumptions and surfaces any gaps early enough to address them.
Task 1.1: Project Kickoff | The engagement begins with a kickoff session with the Arts Connection team and Garcia Center partners to confirm research priorities, validate analytical approaches, and set protocols for data sharing and communication. We will give particular attention to the intended uses of the findings in stakeholder conversations, so the deliverables are built for that purpose from the outset.
Task 1.2: Data Inventory | Our team will inventory and refine the data assets Arts Connection has indicated it can provide, including the downtown property ownership file, prior property and business improvement district research, and San Bernardino Arts Collaborative engagement materials. The inventory will document each asset's coverage and limitations and will flag any items to be confirmed or requested from city staff during initiation.
* The engagement does not include legal advice, ballot measure drafting, or the city-commissioned fiscal impact study a municipality typically procures separately if a measure advances to ballot. Nor does it include lobbying or direct advocacy with elected officials, though it produces materials designed for the coalition's advocacy use. It assumes Arts Connection will provide the identified data assets (the downtown property ownership file, prior PBID research, Creative Corps program data, and SSB Collaborative engagement outputs) during Phase 1 and will coordinate any needed introductions to city staff for data requests.
Packet Page. 513
8 PHASE 2: CREATIVE ECONOMY BASELINE ANALYSIS
DELIVERABLES: (2) Creative Economy Baseline Analysis Slide Deck A baseline establishes what San Bernardino's creative economy looks like today, profiling its employment, businesses, and workforce against peer Inland Empire jurisdictions and statewide benchmarks. This shared picture of the city's creative assets and gaps becomes the evidentiary floor for every funding and policy recommendation that follows.
Task 2.1: Industry and Occupation Baseline | Our team will map employment, wages, business establishments, and occupational composition across the creative industries using U.S. Census, Bureau of Labor Statistics (QCEW and CES), and California Employment Development Department data, with comparison to peer Inland Empire jurisdictions and state benchmarks. Where city-level granularity is unavailable from public sources, county-level data will be used with a clearly stated methodology for proxying city-level conditions.
Task 2.2: Ecosystem Mapping | The baseline will incorporate the Creative Corps program data Arts Connection administers as a primary input on artist-level workforce activity, producing an ecosystem view that connects industry-scale measures to the on-the-ground creative workforce. Findings will be paired with visualizations and infographics suitable for the coalition's public communications.
PHASE 3: E STREET CORRIDOR OPPORTUNITY ASSESSMENT
DELIVERABLE: (3) E Street Corridor Opportunity Assessment Memo Attention then turns to the E Street corridor, the geographic anchor of both the cultural district application and Council interest. Assessing its assets, real estate conditions, and creative business mix supports a set of workable district boundaries and overlays and clarifies where investment would do the most good.
Task 3.1: Commercial Real Estate Analysis | Using Arts Connection's property ownership data and other public and proprietary data sources (as needed) such as the San Bernardino County Assessor’s parcel database and CoStar, our team will assess the corridor's existing asset base, commercial real estate conditions including vacancy and rents, and the cultural and creative business mix. The assessment produces an asset inventory crosswalk that ties corridor assets to the baseline industry definitions.
Task 3.2: Cultural District Boundary Recommendation | The assessment will inform a recommendation on geographic boundary definition for the cultural district designation, referencing the California Cultural Districts program designation criteria and the overlay zone tools that can support enforceability, and Packet Page. 514
9 taking into consideration the corridor’s rapid transit infrastructure. The boundary recommendation will be documented with a clear rationale for use in the designation process.
PHASE 4: FISCAL FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
DELIVERABLES: (4) Draft Priority Mechanisms and Supporting Mechanisms Council Digest; (5) Final Priority Mechanisms and Supporting Mechanisms Council Digest
At the core of the study, four (4) priority fiscal mechanisms will receive in-depth analysis in a Council Digest deliverable and up to eight (8) other mechanisms will be summarized in shorter briefs. Each will be evaluated within the context of the City's economic, political, and administrative conditions, so the Council weighs options that are realistic for San Bernardino rather than generic best practices.
CVL will conduct a preliminary assessment of the fiscal mechanisms described in the following tasks and, in coordination with the coalition, identify the prioritized subset for inclusion in the Council Digest deliverable and accompanying briefs based on alignment with City capacity and relevance to advancing investment in the E Street Corridor and the City as a whole. The selected fiscal mechanisms will also be evaluated as either near- or long-term advocacy opportunities, taking into account the capacity and resources of City arts and culture partners.
Task 4.1: Place-Based Financing and Assessment Tools | We will assess the district-based financing and assessment tools available to support capital investment, public services, and business and nonprofit assistance along the E Street corridor. The analysis will identify which tools are viable given the corridor's anticipated program of improvements and services, and will document for each the eligible uses, formation and approval requirements, applicable revenue mechanism, and principal implementation constraints. Tools examined will include:
• Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs), Government Code Section 53398.50 et seq.
We will summarize EIFD-eligible uses, formation requirements, and tax increment mechanics as a reference resource. EIFDs are oriented toward capital infrastructure. Absent a defined program of infrastructure improvements along the corridor, EIFD activation may not be warranted. We will provide the summary so the client can evaluate fit if an infrastructure program emerges. • Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, Government Code Section 53311 et seq. We will evaluate the use of a CFD special tax to fund ongoing services, including public safety staffing associated with special events programming along the corridor.
• Property and Business Improvement Districts (PBIDs) under the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, Streets and Highways Code Section 36600 et seq. We will Packet Page. 515
10 assess the feasibility of reviving a PBID to fund corridor management, maintenance, marketing, and supplemental services through property-based assessments. • Community Revitalization and Investment Authorities (CRIAs), Government Code Section 62000 et seq. We will assess CRIA eligibility, which is conditioned on community distress criteria, and the authority's ability to fund infrastructure improvements as well as direct assistance to businesses and nonprofits along the corridor.
Task 4.2: Transient Occupancy Tax Harmonization | This task compares TOT rates in the City of San Bernardino and across select San Bernardino County jurisdictions, models the revenue gap closure that harmonization would produce, and analyzes how the Airbnb moratorium affects the revenue base.
Task 4.3: Venue and Event Admission Ticket Excise | The analysis will examine activity from the National Orange Show Event Center and Glen Helen Amphitheater as a revenue base, compare the small number of California jurisdictions that operationalize ticket taxes, and model a city-level ticket excise structure. It will address the proposed code-enforcement ticket tax discussed at the Council level and consider whether arts dedication is accordingly compatible.
Task 4.4: Public-Private Partnership Vehicle | Modeled on the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC), this task examines governance structure, capital stack, and asset transfer mechanics.
The analysis covers replication attempts elsewhere, including both successes and failures, and considers the city's underutilized downtown asset base as a possible foundation for a third-party fiscal vehicle.
Task 4.5: Other Supporting Fiscal Mechanisms | Additional mechanisms will be explored to provide the Council with a comprehensive menu of options. Potential issue areas include:
Entertainment zone and outdoor consumption ordinance under California ABC framework Development impact fees with cultural or public art set-asides Federal Opportunity Zones following the 2025 federal legislation that made the program permanent, including California state non-conformity status Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) active in Southern California Sales tax measures with arts dedication
Percent for the Arts ordinances structured to survive General Fund absorption California Cultural Districts program designation as an economic development tool Parcel tax dedicated to funding arts and culture programming Packet Page. 516
11 PHASE 5: FISCAL PLANNING
DELIVERABLES: (6) Fiscal Planning Roadmap; (7) Talking Points Memorandum Findings from across the engagement converge into a strategic fiscal planning roadmap that sequences recommendations by feasibility and timeline. Paired with communications materials the coalition can use directly, it turns analysis into a shared basis for action among Arts Connection, the Garcia Center, and the SSB Collaborative.
Task 5.1: Fiscal Planning Roadmap Development | We will organize recommendations by implementation timeline, from near-term ordinances and budget actions that can be pursued within the current fiscal year, to medium-term measures that require a ballot or stakeholder process, to longer-term structural commitments. Each recommendation is paired with its evidence base, the political and procedural conditions for success, and the metrics by which progress can be tracked.
Task 5.2: Talking Points Memorandum | The roadmap will be distilled into Council-ready language for use by Arts Connection, the Garcia Center, and SSB Collaborative leadership in conversations with Council members, city staff, community partners, and prospective funders, accompanied by a frequently asked questions resource that anticipates the most likely points of challenge.
PHASE 6: REPORT PRODUCTION
DELIVERABLES: (8) Administrative Draft Report; (9) Final Report; (10) Presentation Slide Deck The engagement closes by consolidating every component into a final report, produced through a draftand-review cycle. Delivered with a presentation for the coalition's leadership, the final products are built to be cited and reused well beyond the engagement itself.
Task 6.1: Administrative Draft Report | CVL Economics will synthesize all findings and revise draft content developed throughout the engagement to produce a comprehensive draft economic impact report. This document will include detailed analysis, key findings, full appendices, and an executive summary for internal review by City staff.
Task 6.2: Final Report | Feedback will be incorporated into a professionally designed version of the final report, tailored for public-facing audiences. This version will feature data visualizations, infographics, and accessible language to enhance readability and engagement.
Packet Page. 517
12 Task 6.3: Presentations | A presentation to Arts Connection, the Garcia Center, and SSB Collaborative leadership will cover the report findings and include a slide deck that can be distributed to a general audience.

Executive Summary
In 2016, the California Legislature adopted AB2722, which authorized the creation of the Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Grant Program administered by the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) for broad-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction projects that provide local economic, environmental and health benefits to disadvantaged communities. SGC has administered prior rounds of the TCC grant program and is now on Round 6 with an application deadline of September 30, 2026, and awards announced in Spring 2027. The TCC Round 6 includes a $5,000,000 Project Development Grant option designated for pre-development activities and associated infrastructure to support communities to meet their climate and community resilience goals.
Background
The Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Grant Program is administered by the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) and was established to fund community-led development and infrastructure projects that achieve significant environmental, health, Packet Page. 526
and economic benefits to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and benefit California’s most disadvantaged and overburdened neighborhoods. Funding for TCC Round 6 is used from a voter approved initiative- Safe Drinking Water, Wildlife Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024 (Proposition 4), a $10 billion General Obligation Bond commonly known as the Climate Bond. The Climate Bond supports projects that reduce GHG emissions through any three categories for submissions depending on the phase of the projects: planning (award up to $300,000), development (award up to $5 million), and implementation (award up to $27.5 million).
Approximately $15 million is available for Project Development awards. This option funds pre-development that advances community-led climate and resilience projects toward implementation, including engagement, feasibility studies, environmental assessments, plans and designs, permitting, financial planning, and small pilot or demonstration projects.
Round 6 applications opened May 29, 2026, with applications due September 30, 2026. The grant term is for two years, following an anticipated three to six-month postaward consultation process; leveraged funding is not required. Award notices are anticipated in Spring 2027.
Discussion
One of the requirements of the TCC Grant Program is the formation of a multistakeholder partnership that includes a lead applicant and at least two co-applicants or partners. Eligible lead applicants include public agencies, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, community-based organizations (CBOs), Tribal governments, joint powers authorities, special districts, or mutual water companies. The application team must establish a formal collaborative Governance Structure, documented through a signed partnership agreement or memorandum of understanding (MOU) to define and manage the roles and responsibilities of the partners throughout the grant term.
The City was approached to serve as the public-sector co-applicant for a Project Development application led by the Inland Empire Community Foundation (IECF), with Tree People, the Garcia Center for the Arts, and Arts Connection anticipated to serve as additional co-applicants. Just San Bernardino and other community entities have been identified as potential partners or participants. The application is currently under development; legal names, funded roles, and final project team will be confirmed as part of the application submission.
The project, “Resilient E Street Cultural District” is centered on the central E Street Corridor. The project identifies two anchor concepts: the Garcia Center for the Arts near 11th Street and Arts Connection’s 478 N. D Street All-Electric Food Hub and Cooling Commons.
Arts Connection proposes pre-development of an approximately 0.26-acre site for an all-electric food hub, an artist-designed cooling commons, and a culinary workforce development site. The concept includes artist-designed solar shade canopies, five Packet Page. 527
flexible vendor bays, solar generation and battery storage, clean plug-in power for mobile food vendors, a protected pedestrian promenade, an accessible restroom and water station, shaded gathering space, climate-appropriate landscaping, public art, and wayfinding. A related workforce and small-business development program would provide culinary entrepreneurs with training, mentorship, affordable access to vendors, recurring vending opportunities, and business support.
The Project scope includes community engagement, feasibility analysis, planning and design, environmental and permitting review, cost and financing work, and operations planning to advance the two anchors and evaluate corridor connections. Concepts under study include trees and urban greening, shade, filtered-water and cooling facilities, solar and electric-vehicle charging, e-bike/shared mobility, and safer bicycle connections. A limited temporary pilot may be included only if it fits the State’s pilot/demonstration rules.
The proposed Project is intended to complement the City’s ongoing downtown revitalization, mobility, public realm, sustainability, and economic development efforts.
Staff recommends that the City serve as a co-applicant on the IECF’s TCC Round 6 Project Development application. The City’s role as the relevant public agency for the incorporated Project Area.
Approval by the Mayor and City Council for the City to serve as a co-applicant does not establish or designate the broader E Street Cultural District, approve permanent construction, grant a land-use entitlement, commit City property, or make a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) determination. It also would not materially expand the City’s obligations without further City Council approval. As the project application develops, the City’s anticipated responsibilities would occur in stages and remain subject to the final application, approved work plan and budget, and applicable City authorization procedures.
If awarded, staff will return to the Mayor and City Council for approval. At that time, staff will present the Collaborative Governance Structure proposed in the Project Development application, including the final co-applicants and partners and, as applicable, letters of commitment from agencies whose jurisdictions are included in the proposed project efforts.
Strategic Goals and Priorities
The request to approve the grant application aligns with No. 3: Improve the Quality of Life through localized strategies to remedy systemic environmental, health, and economic disparities.
Fiscal Impact
There is no additional General Fund Impact associated with this action. If awarded, a separate action will be brought forward to authorize the Finance Director to appropriate the corresponding revenue budget to allow for reimbursement of eligible Packet Page. 528
project expenditures through the TCC Project Development Program grant fund.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize:
1. The City Manager or designee to apply as a co-applicant to the California Strategic Growth Council for a Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Project Development Grant and execute all related application documents.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: September 16, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Mary Lanier, Director of Community Development & Housing Department: Community Development & Housing
Subject: Adopt Resolution Imposing Liens on Certain Real Property to Recover Costs for Code Enforcement Abatements (All
Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2026-155, imposing liens on certain real property located within the City of San Bernardino for the costs of public nuisance abatements.
City Manager's Comments
The City Manager recommends adoption of the Resolution.
Executive Summary
Chapter 8 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code (SBMC) requires Council approval to lien unpaid costs associated with Code Enforcement abatement of hazardous conditions. This allows the City to recover unpaid costs of abatement upon the respective parcels of land as they are shown upon the last available assessment roll.
The unpaid bills represent a General Fund impact in the amount of $91,266.85.
The City initiated abatement and securement of properties, followed up with proper billing provided to the owners and interested parties for costs incurred by the City. The billing notices also included the right to appeal said costs. Approval of the Resolution to lien the unpaid costs associated with these abatements is intended to recover the City costs paid for the abatement of the properties.
Background
On October 5, 2015, the Mayor and Common Council adopted Ordinance MC-1418, which repealed San Bernardino Municipal Code Chapters 3.68 and 8.27 and amended Chapter 8.30. On September 18, 2019, the Mayor and City Council adopted Ordinance MC-1521, which made further revisions to Chapter 8.30. These changes have streamlined the process of abating public nuisances on properties and imposing liens Packet Page. 574
to enable the City to recover costs for abating nuisances.
Discussion
SBMC Section 8.30.050 requires adoption of a Resolution to assess unpaid costs of abatement as liens upon the respective parcels of land as they are shown the last available assessment roll.
All affected property owners identified on the Abatement Assessments list have been notified through regular and certified mail of the respective abatement costs per SBMC
8.30.023. Further, affected property owners were also issued a Notice of Summary Abatement with the option to schedule a hearing per SBMC 8.30.045 and have also been advised of their right to appeal said costs within ten (10) days, or to pay the costs within 45 days of notice per SBMC Section 8.30.030, 8.30.040 and 8.30.041. To date, hearings have not been requested, and the costs are currently outstanding. As such, staff recommends adopting the Resolution to assess the unpaid costs of the nuisance abatements.
The total of outstanding fees for Abatement Assessment, including warrant abatements, emergency abatements and demolitions, is $91,266.85. If property owners come forward to pay their costs prior to the council meeting, their properties will be removed from Attachment 2.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request to impose liens to recover costs for Code Enforcement abatements aligns with Key Target No. 1: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity and Key Target No. 4: Economic Growth & Development. Imposing liens to resolve public nuisances would ensure the City receives revenue back into the Community Development & Housing Department and that the City continues to strive towards being clean and attractive.
Fiscal Impact
The proposed collection of liens will increase General Fund revenues by $75,584.67.
These costs have already been absorbed by the General Fund and will be reimbursed incrementally as liens are repaid either through the escrow process when properties are sold or as assessments collected via the County tax roll.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2026-155, imposing liens on certain real property located within the City of San Bernardino for the costs of public nuisance abatements.
