Executive Summary
During the September 12, 2023, Mayor and City Council Special Meeting, the City
Council made several changes to the Strategic Initiatives. To accurately reflect those
changes, Resolution No. 2023-144 has been revised and is being brought back as a
separate item for the Mayor and City Council’s adoption. Formal adoption of
Resolution 2023-144 will amend the FY 2023/24 Operating Budget totaling $6,636,293
and will allow the City to begin the recruitment process for the additional positions.
Additional actions associated with the Strategic Initiatives, such as revising the City’s
salary schedule to reflect the newly created positions and the retitling of Agency
Directors, will be brought back at a future meeting for Council’s approval.
Background
On June 21, 2023, the Mayor and City Council approved the FY 2023/24 Operating
Budget and Capital Improvement Plan. The FY 2023/24 Operating Budget included a
surplus of over $7 million and an anticipated increase of $5.4 million to Fund Balance
for year-end FY 2022/23. Additionally, the Operating Budget incorporated a Strategic
Reserve of $3,539,363 and a Capital Contingency Reserve of $3,600,000, which are
set-asides from ongoing General Fund revenue that are to be used for various
initiatives and capital improvement projects. This addition to the Capital Contingency
Reserve brought the total of the Capital Contingency Reserve for FY 2023/24 to
$9,000,000. Council also gave direction to allocate $3,000,000 of the Capital
Contingency Reserve to street segment repairs ($2,000,000) and sidewalks
($1,000,000), thus leaving a remaining balance of $6,000,000 within the Capital
Contingency Reserve.
On June 30, 2023, a Special Workshop (“Workshop”) was held to address the Mayor
and City Council’s goals and priorities. The Workshop was informational only and
allowed staff to present a series of Strategic Initiatives and other programs/proposals
for the Mayor and Council’s future consideration.
On September 12, 2023, the Mayor and City Council approved the Strategic Initiatives
with the following exceptions and/or modifications:
•The source of funding for the turf-friendly mini loader, the comprehensive bio-
hazard cleanup agreement, and the weed abatement/brush clearing agreement
was changed to the General Fund. Staff previously recommended that these
initiatives be funded by the Cultural Development Fund.
•The funding for the Quality of Life Police Department team and the Park Ranger
program was approved to begin in FY 2023/24, and the $2,000,000 for
Homelessness Services Sustainability was approved for FY 2026/27. Staff
previously recommended that these initiatives be prioritized as part of the
budget process in future years but with no funding budgeted for FY 2023/24.
•The funding for a second Assistant City Manager was not approved.

Additionally, there was a motion to approve an allocation of $39,000 for the Property
Based Improvement District (PBID) formation; however, since the original staff
recommendation regarding the PBID was only for Council to provide direction, no
funding could be approved during the Special Meeting. Staff informed the Council that
this would be brought back for Council approval at the October 4, 2023, Regular
Meeting.
Discussion
Due to the changes made to the Strategic Initiatives during the September 12, 2023,
Special Meeting, Resolution No. 2023-144 has been revised to reflect the updated
costs of the initiatives. The total estimated costs for FY 2023/24 have increased by
$931,105 to a total of $6,636,293; however, a majority of these increases are for
positions that are unlikely to be filled by the end of the fiscal year, which will result in
savings. The costing of the Strategic Initiatives has been updated as follows:
•Changing the source of funding for the turf-friendly mini loader, the
comprehensive biohazard cleanup agreement, and the weed abatement/brush
clearing agreement will impact the General Fund by $570,000 for FY 2023/24
instead of the Cultural Development Fund. This does not increase the overall
cost of the Strategic Initiatives.
•Funding the Quality of Life (QOL) Police Department (PD) team and Park
Ranger program for FY 2023/24 will increase the cost of the Strategic Initiatives
by an estimated $1,040,693 for FY 2023/24, where $787,743 would be
budgeted for the QOL PD team and $252,950 for the Park Ranger program.
The estimated costs are based on the same methodology for the other staffing
recommendations presented during the Special Meeting, which assumes new
staff would be onboard effective January 1, 2024. It is important to note that
due to the hiring process for police officers, the positions for the QOL PD team
are unlikely to be filled before the end of the fiscal year, which will result in
savings of the same budgeted amount.
•Not funding the second Assistant City Manager position reduces the cost of the
Strategic Initiatives by $148,588 for FY 2023/24.
•Funding the PBID formation increases the cost of the Strategic Initiatives by
$39,000 for FY 2023/24. This is a one-time cost.
The table on the following page reflects the updated list of Strategic Initiatives that
Council approved on September 12, 2023, and their associated funding sources.

Request for Council Action
Date:October 4, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles McNeely, Interim City Manager
Mary Lanier, Director of Community, Housing, and Economic
Development
Department:Community, Housing, and Economic Development (CED)
Subject:Ordinance No. MC-1619 Amending Chapter 15.27 of the
San Bernardino Municipal Code, Regarding Rental
Housing Program Maintenance Standards.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino: adopt
Ordinance No. MC-1619 Amending Chapter 15.27 of the San Bernardino Municipal
Code, Regarding Rental Housing Program Maintenance Standards.
Executive Summary
Ordinance No MC 16-1619 will amend Chapter 15.27 of the City’s Municipal Code,
renaming it to Rental Housing Program Maintenance Standards and retaining the
exterior inspections and eight-hour training program.
Background
On September 6, 2023, the Mayor and City Council introduced, read by title only, and
waived further reading of, Ordinance No. MC-1619 – An Ordinance of the Mayor and
City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, amending Chapter 15.27 of Title
15 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code regarding rental housing program
maintenance standards. The ordinance replaces the existing title Crime-Free Rental
Housing Program with Rental Housing Program Maintenance Standards. It also
amends the chapter to retain the exterior inspections of multi-family rental housing and
the eight-hour training class.
Discussion
The City presently has a Crime-Free Rental Housing Program (Chapter 15.27 of Title
15 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code) that applies to multi-family rental properties
with four or more rental units on the same parcel. Per the terms of a stipulated judgment
Packet Pg. 70
Page 2
1
6
4
1
with Promise Gracia et al., the City agreed to revise the ordinance. The amended
ordinance revises the name of the program to Rental Housing Program Maintenance
Standards and retains the exterior inspections of multi-family rental housing and the
eight-hour training class components. Staff is implementing changes to the program
operations immediately.
As part of the stipulated judgment with Promise Gracia et al., the provision for charging
for inspections has been removed. This will result in a reduction in revenue, as no
charges for the inspections or fees can be collected. In the interim, staff recommends
continuing with the program utilizing salary savings while the program is fully
evaluated, and potential funding sources are explored. The program has proven
valuable for maintaining properties and neighborhoods and the eight-hour training
class has been well received by property owners and managers in the management of
multi-family communities. Once the evaluation is complete, staff will return to the Mayor
and City Council with recommendations.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The proposed action of amending the Crime-Free Rental Housing Program aligns with
Strategic Target No. 2 – Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community. The
Crime-Free Rental Housing Program revisions develop and implement a community
engagement plan that respects the state and federal fair housing rights of City
residents. The proposed action of amending the Crime-Free Rental Housing Program
also aligns with Strategic Target No. 3 – Improved Quality of Life. Proper maintenance
of multi-family residential rental housing facilities can be encouraged by educating
property owners, operators, and managers as to the risks of substandard
maintenance, unsafe conditions, and nuisance activity. Such education and proper
maintenance make the City cleaner and more attractive. As a result, it can incentivize
more people, especially those who work in the City, to choose to live in the City.
Fiscal Impact
The stipulated judgment required the elimination of all fees, which results in not being
able to issue inspection invoices or payments for the class. A reduction in fees will
result in a reduction of Code Enforcement revenue of approximately $120,000 based
on the inspection fees, interest, and class charge for 2022.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino: adopt
Ordinance No. MC-1619 Amending Chapter 15.27 of the San Bernardino Municipal
Code, Regarding Rental Housing Program Maintenance Standards.

Subject:Settlement Agreement of Escrow Account Funds with

Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California:
1. Approve the Settlement Agreement of Escrow Account Funds jointly held with
Los Angeles Engineering, a California Corporation; and
2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the Settlement
Agreement, receive the funds, and close the escrow account.
Executive Summary
The recommended action will approve a Settlement Agreement between the City of
San Bernardino and Los Angeles Engineering, releasing jointly held escrow funds in
the amount of $147,032.87. The funds will be split evenly between the City of San
Bernardino and Los Angeles Engineering. The City of San Bernardino will receive

Background
In 1958, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino (“Redevelopment
Agency”) was created pursuant to Section 33000 et seq. of the California Health and
Safety Code (“HSC”) and was responsible for the administration of redevelopment
activities within the City of San Bernardino.
On October 28, 2011, the City of San Bernardino, a charter city and municipal
corporation (“City”) and Los Angeles Engineering, a California Corporation, (“LAE”)
entered into an Escrow Account Agreement for Security Deposits in Lieu of Retention
(“Escrow Agreement”) with Community Bank, a California Banking Corporation (the
“Escrow Agent”). Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Parties opened Account No.

XXXXXXX9815 (the “Escrow Account”) with Community Bank, into which the
Redevelopment Agency deposited funds in connection with a construction contract
between the Redevelopment Agency and LAE.
Pursuant to HSC section 34172(a)(1), the Redevelopment Agency was dissolved on
February 1, 2012. Consistent with the provisions of the HSC, the City serves as the
Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency.
On September 27, 2012, LAE filed a lawsuit against the Redevelopment Agency in the
amount of $1,117,894.00. On June 11, 2014, judgment was entered in favor of LAE
and against the Redevelopment Agency for $1,117,894.00. The Parties entered into
an agreement to reduce the amount owed by the City to $1,006.104.60
On December 4, 2014, the City transferred $1,006.104.60 to LAE pursuant to this
agreement. Subsequently, on October 5, 2015, LAE filed an Acknowledgement of
Satisfaction of Judgment.
In May 2015, the Parties entered into a Tolling Agreement to toll applicable statute of
limitations for potential claims regarding the proper distribution of funds from the
Escrow Account.
Discussion
The previous agreements did not address the distribution of the funds remaining in the
Escrow Account and disputes arose between the City of San Bernardino and Los
Angeles Engineering involving the distribution of the funds remaining in the Escrow
Account.
The purpose of this Settlement Agreement is to memorialize the terms for the
distribution of the funds remaining in the Escrow Account, as negotiated between the
Parties, and subsequently close the escrow account.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Strategic Target 1: Improved Operational & Financial
Capacity. The action will recover funds previously allocated to City improvement
projects.
Fiscal Impact
Approval of this item will result in the City receiving escrow account funds in the amount
of $73,513.43. The appropriation of these funds will be determined by the Agency
Director of Administrative Services.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California:
1. Approve the Settlement Agreement of Escrow Account Funds jointly held with
Los Angeles Engineering, a California Corporation; and
2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the Settlement Agreement,
receive the funds, and close the escrow account.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:October 4, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Suzie H. Soren, Director of Human Resources
Department:Human Resources
Subject:Senior Human Resources/Risk Analyst Classification
Title Change
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, Adopt Resolution 2023-147
1. Updating the Senior Human Resources/Risk Analyst classification title to
Supervising Human Resources Analyst; and
2. Amending the City-wide salary schedule for full-time, part-time, temporary, and
seasonal positions.
Executive Summary
Updating the Senior Human Resources/Risk Analyst job title to Supervising Human
Resources Analyst to more accurately reflect the duties and responsibilities of the role.
Background
The Recruitment Division of the Human Resources Department engages in reviewing
and updating the City’s position classifications. This includes ensuring that position
classifications have titles that accurately describe their nature and intent. During a
recent review of the positions within the Human Resources Department, the Senior
Human Resources/Risk Analyst classification was assessed and determined to need
a title update to accurately reflect the nature of the position.
Discussion
The current title of Senior Human Resources/Risk Analyst indicates that the position
performs advanced human resources duties but does not indicate that the position
supervises staff; however, within this classification an employee will manage the
performance of employees in the execution of department assignments. This
classification oversees a team comprised of professional, para-professional, technical,
and/or clerical staff performing various human resources functions. In addition, the
position has higher level professional assignments to be performed in a variety of
human resource program areas such as developing City policies and procedures,
Packet Pg. 119
1
5

5
using specific supervisory techniques, and having concrete knowledge of legal
requirements. Changing the classification title to Supervising Human Resources
Analyst will provide an accurate, industry accepted title that describes the essential
duties and responsibilities of this classification.
There is no intention to change the job description or salary. There is only a proposed
title change.
As changes are made to salaries or classifications, the City is required to adopt a

motivates the highest quality of talent.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:October 4, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles E. McNeely; Ed Erjavek, Library Director
Department:Library
Subject:Library Literacy Program Grant Funding (All Wards)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California adopt Resolution No. 2023-148 approving:
1. Accepting grant funding in the amounts of $99,287 from the California
Department of Education; $60,719 for Adult Literacy Services, $20,615 for
Family Literacy Services and $43,642 for English as a Second Language from
the California State Library for Literacy Program services.
2. Authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the FY
2023/24 budget for the Literacy Program, which includes: appropriating $43,642
in both revenues and expenditures for the English as a Second Language
Program and adjusting the grant fund budgets for the California Department of
Education, Adult Literacy Services, and Family Literacy Services grants to
account for any differences in the estimated grant funding versus the actual
grant funds received.
Executive Summary
This is the acceptance of grant funding after receipt of grant award letters and
authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to appropriate revenue and
expenditures for English as a Second Language program and adjust budgets from the
California Department of Education and Adult Literacy Services and Family Literacy
Services from the California State Library for Literacy Program services in the FY
2023/24 Adopted Budget.
Background
The San Bernardino Public Library (SBPL) has a Literacy Department at the Feldheym
Central Library, in the Jack L. Hill Lifelong Learning Center, that is almost entirely grant
funded. The Literacy Department budget, adopted by the Mayor and City Council, is a
projection as the actual amounts from the California Department of Education and the

California State Library for California Library Literacy Services is not known until the
fall of each year. The Literacy Program applies for these grants on annual basis. The
California Department of Education funding is from the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act, Title II: Adult Education and Family Literacy Act. The Literacy Program
is a partner of the San Bernardino County Workforce Development Board.
Discussion
Various services to help City residents improve their lives, besides basic literacy
services, are also offered through the Jack L. Hill Lifelong Learning Center including
citizenship classes, free computer classes, a Makerspace area where people can build
and create items and homework assistance for students in kindergarten through eighth
grade. We are offering after-school homework assistance both in-person at our
libraries and via Zoom with a combination of Literacy Department staff and work study
students from CSUSB.
The use of the English as a Second Language (ESL) funds will also help the Literacy
Program expand its hours of service, as prior it was open to the public 20 hours a week
due to limited staffing capability. Plans for the ESL program include expanding
marketing and outreach efforts, contracting an ESL teacher from the local Adult
Education Consortium, as well as creating bilingual options for current class offerings.
Using extra ESL funding we plan to contract dedicated CSUSB Federal Work Study
students who can attend Homework Help and act as a liaison to encourage the adults
of attending students to become lifelong learners.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The acceptance and administration of this funding aligns with Key Target No. 1:
Financial Stability and Key Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life, with customer
service.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund in FY 2023/24 with the acceptance of
this grant as there are no fund match requirements.

otherwise shall create any contractual relation between the State and any

obligation to pay or to enforce the payment of any monies to any contractor or
subcontractor.

releases, or authorizations to use text, images, or other materials owned,
copyrighted, or trademarked by third parties and for extending such licenses,
permissions, releases, or authorizations to the California State Library pursuant to
this section. Also, the California State Library may upload, post, or transmit
copyrighted material produced or purchased with grant funds on a California
State Library website for public access and viewing.
4. Discharge of Grant Obligations: The Grantee's obligations under this Agreement
shall be deemed discharged only upon acceptance of the final report by
California State Library. If the Grantee is a non-profit entity, the Grantee’s Board
of Directors shall accept and certify as accurate the final report prior to its
submission to California State Library.
5. Dispute Resolution: In the event of a dispute, Grantee will discuss the problem
informally with the Grant Monitor. If unresolved, the Grantee shall file a written
“Notice of Dispute” with the State Library Grant Monitor within ten (10) days of
discovery of the problem. Within ten (10) days of receipt, the Grant Monitor shall
meet with the Grantee for purposes of resolving the dispute. Any dispute arising
under the terms of this Agreement which is not disposed of within a reasonable
period of time, the Grantee may bring it to the attention of the State Librarian or
the designated representative. The decision of the State Librarian or designated
representative shall be final. Unless otherwise instructed by the Grant Monitor,
the Grantee shall continue with its responsibilities under this Agreement during
any dispute.

be ineligible for award of any future state agreements if the California State
Library determines that the grantee has made a false certification or violated the
certification by failing to carry out the requirements as noted above.
7. Effectiveness of Agreement: This Agreement is of no force or effect until signed

and Russian entities and individuals. “Economic Sanctions” refers to sanctions
imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, as well
as any sanctions imposed under state law. The EO directs state agencies to
terminate grant agreements with, and to refrain from entering any new grant
agreements with, individuals or entities that are determined to be a target of
Economic Sanctions. Accordingly, should the State determine Grantee is a
target of Economic Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with
sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall be grounds for termination of this
agreement. The State shall provide Grantee advance written notice of such
termination, allowing Grantee at least 30 calendar days to provide a written
response. Termination shall be at the sole discretion of the State.

accident, labor strike, fire, explosion, riot, war, rebellion, sabotage, flood, or other
contingencies unforeseen by the California State Library or the Grantee, its
contractors, vendors, or subcontractors, and beyond the reasonable control of
such party.

requiring the Grantee to forfeit the unexpended portion of the grant funds,
including, but not limited to, the ten percent (10%) withhold, and/or to repay to
the California State Library any funds improperly expended.

employees and contract personnel are eligible to participate in any employee

the California State Library may find necessary to assure the correctness

for the manner in which the grant funds are utilized and accounted for and the
way the grant is administered, even if the Grantee has contracted with another

event an audit should determine that grant funds are owed to the California
State Library, the Grantee is responsible for repayment of the funds to the
California State Library.

funds beyond the grant award that may be necessary to complete the project.

Agreement in an independent manner, at any location and at any time within

devoted solely to fulfilling obligations under this Agreement. Grantee shall furnish
all equipment and materials used to meet its obligations and complete the
Project. The State Library shall not provide any personnel or other resources
beyond the grant award and is not required to provide training in connection
with this Agreement.
23. Indemnification: Grantee agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless the
State of California, the California State Library and its officers, employees, and
agents, from any and all claims, losses, and liabilities accruing or resulting to any

or corporation furnishing or supplying work services, materials, or supplies in
connection with the performance of this Agreement, and from any and all
claims and losses accruing or resulting to any person, firm or corporation who
may be injured or damaged by Grantee in the performance of this Agreement.

designee. Adjustments should be reported on the next financial report. Any
adjustments in approved budgets must be documented and documentation

Grantee’s contractors, and subcontractors shall not unlawfully discriminate,
harass, or allow harassment against any employee or applicant for employment
because of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical
disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status,
sex, age, sexual orientation, or military and veteran status. Grantee shall insure
that the evaluation and treatment of contractors, employees and applicants for
employment are free from such discrimination and harassment.
Additionally, Grantee, contractors, and subcontractors, if applicable, shall
comply with the provisions of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (Gov. Code
§12900 et seq.), the regulations promulgated thereunder (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 2,

Code, sections 6250, et. seq. This includes the Interim and Final reports, and any

format or medium. Copies of all promotional materials will be provided to the
State Library. Grantee will acknowledge the State Library’s support as noted

Grantee, and may distribute such information to third parties.
38. Records: Communications, grant related documents, data, original receipts,

d. The final 10% of the grant award (if applicable) is payable only upon
approval of all final reports and receipt of claim form. Failure to provide
timely reports is a serious breach of an award recipient’s administrative
duty under the award.
e. Payment will be provided to cover the expenditures incurred by the
grantee for the project in the following manner:
o $75,262 upon execution of the agreement and submission of claim by
the grantee organization.
o If applicable, second payment will be made after the submission and
approval of the first reports and receipt of claim form in the amount of
$6,072.
42. Self-Dealing and Arm’s Length Transactions: All expenditures for which
reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement is sought shall be the result of arm’s-
length transactions and not the result of, or motivated by, self-dealing on the
part of the Grantee or any employee or agent of the Grantee. For purposes of
this provision, “arm’s-length transactions” are those in which both parties are on
equal footing and fair market forces are at play, such as when multiple vendors
are invited to compete for an entity’s business and the entity chooses the lowest
of the resulting bids. “Self-dealing” is involved where an individual or entity is
obligated to act as a trustee or fiduciary, as when handling public funds, and
chooses to act in a manner that will benefit the individual or entity, directly or
indirectly, to the detriment of, and in conflict with, the public purpose for which
all grant monies are to be expended.
43. Severability: If any part of this Agreement is found to be unlawful or
unenforceable, such provisions will be voided and severed from this Agreement,
but the remainder of the provisions in the Agreement will remain in full force and
effect.
44. Site Visits: The Grantee shall allow the California State Library to access and
conduct site visits, with reasonable notice, at which grant funds are expended
and related work being performed at any time during the performance of the
work and for up to ninety (90) days after completion of the work, or until all issues
related to the grant project have been resolved. A site visit may include, but not
be limited to, monitoring the use of grant funds, provide technical assistance
when needed, and to visit the State funded project.
45. Termination: The Agreement shall be subject to termination by the State
Librarian or designee upon notice to the Grantee at least thirty (30) days prior to
the effective date of termination. In the event this agreement is terminated, the
Grantee shall deliver to the State Librarian copies of all reports, accounting,
data, and materials prepared up to the date of termination. The State Librarian

Page 20 of 27
shall determine and pay the Grantee for necessary and appropriate
expenditures and obligations up to the date of termination which have not been
covered by prior installments previously paid to the Grantee. Upon such
termination, the unused portion of the grant award must be returned to the
California State Library within 45 days. If funding has been advanced to the
Grantee, any unobligated balances, as determined by the State Librarian, shall
be returned to the State Library within 45 days of the notice of termination.
46. Timeline: Time is of the essence to this Agreement. It is mutually agreed
between the parties that the grant application and the timeline included therein
are part of the Agreement.
47. Unused Funds: At the end-of-term Grantee agrees to return any unexpended or
unaccounted for funds to the State Library, or to submit a written request for an
extension of the grant period. Funds will be considered unexpended or
unaccounted if they were: (1) not used for their intended purpose, or (2) used
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
Funds will also be considered unaccounted for, and must be returned, if the
proposal outcomes or deliverables are materially incomplete by the end-of-term
or earlier termination, as determined by the State Library in its sole discretion.
48. Waiver of Rights: California State Library shall not be deemed to have waived
any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed
by California State Library. No delay or omission on the part of California State
Library in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other

RE: Contractor and Grantee Compliance with Economic Sanctions Imposed in
Response to Russia’s Actions in Ukraine
Dear Grantee,
You are receiving this notification because you currently have an active grant
through the California State Library.
On March 4, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-22 (EO)
regarding sanctions in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine. The EO is located
at https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/3.4.22-Russia-Ukraine-
Executive-Order.pdf.
The EO directs all agencies and departments that are subject to the Governor’s
authority to take certain immediate steps, including notifying all contractors and
grantees of their obligations to comply with existing economic sanctions imposed
by the U.S. government in response to Russia's actions in Ukraine, as well as any
sanctions imposed under state law.
This correspondence serves as a notice under the EO that as a contractor or
grantee, compliance with the economic sanctions imposed in response to Russia’s
actions in Ukraine is required, including with respect to, but not limited to, the
federal executive orders identified in the EO and the sanctions identified on the
U.S. Department of the Treasury website (https://home.treasury.gov/policy-
issues/financial-sanctions/sanctions-programs-and-country-information/ukraine-
russia-related-sanctions). Failure to comply may result in the termination of
contracts or grants, as applicable.
Please note that for any agreements or grants valued at $5 million or more, a
separate notification will be sent outlining additional requirements specified under
the EO.

contractors, subcontractors, volunteers, student interns and of persons either
directly or indirectly employed by any of them as it is for the acts and omissions
of persons directly employed by the Grantee. The Grantee’s obligation to pay its

obligation to make payments to the Grantee. As a result, the State shall have no
obligation to pay or to enforce the payment of any monies to any contractor or
subcontractor.

copyrighted material produced or purchased with grant funds on a California
State Library website for public access and viewing.

informally with the Grant Monitor. If unresolved, the Grantee shall file a written

discovery of the problem. Within ten (10) days of receipt, the Grant Monitor shall
meet with the Grantee for purposes of resolving the dispute. Any dispute arising
under the terms of this Agreement which is not disposed of within a reasonable
period of time, the Grantee may bring it to the attention of the State Librarian or

any dispute.

statement.

condition of employment on the Agreement.
Failure to comply with these requirements may result in suspension of payments
under the Agreement or termination of the Agreement or both and grantee may
be ineligible for award of any future state agreements if the California State
Library determines that the grantee has made a false certification or violated the
certification by failing to carry out the requirements as noted above.
16. Effectiveness of Agreement: This Agreement is of no force or effect until signed

as any sanctions imposed under state law. The EO directs state agencies to
terminate grant agreements with, and to refrain from entering any new grant
agreements with, individuals or entities that are determined to be a target of
Economic Sanctions. Accordingly, should the State determine Grantee is a
target of Economic Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with
sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall be grounds for termination of this
agreement. The State shall provide Grantee advance written notice of such
termination, allowing Grantee at least 30 calendar days to provide a written
response. Termination shall be at the sole discretion of the State.
20. Extension: The State Librarian or designee may extend the final deadline for

right to reimbursement of any grant funds not already paid by the California
State Library, including, but not limited to, the ten percent (10%) withhold.

contractors, vendors, or subcontractors, if any, shall be responsible hereunder for
any delay, default, or nonperformance of this Agreement, to the extent that
such delay, default, or nonperformance is caused by an act of God, weather,
accident, labor strike, fire, explosion, riot, war, rebellion, sabotage, flood, or other
contingencies unforeseen by the California State Library or the Grantee, its
contractors, vendors, or subcontractors, and beyond the reasonable control of
such party.
24. Forfeit of Grant Funds and Repayment of Funds Improperly Expended: If grant
funds are not expended, or have not been expended, in accordance with this
Agreement, the State Librarian or designee, at his or her sole discretion, may

funds beyond the grant award that may be necessary to complete the project.

purposes of lobbying or otherwise attempting to influence legislation, as those
purposes are defined by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Said material, along with all other reports, documentation and data collected
during the term of the Agreement, will be subject to disclosure unless it qualifies
for exemption under the PRA in whole or in part. Grantee agrees to alert the
State Library as to a basis for exemption, if any exists.
46. Publicity Obligations: Grantee will notify the State Library of any promotional
materials or publications resulting from the grant no later than five (5) days in
advance of distribution, whether they are print, film, electronic, or in any other
format or medium. Copies of all promotional materials will be provided to the
State Library. Grantee will acknowledge the State Library’s support as noted
above. Grantee agrees that the State Library may include information about
this grant and its outcomes in its own annual reports, with specific reference to
Grantee, and may distribute such information to third parties.
47. Records: Communications, grant related documents, data, original receipts,
and invoices must be maintained by Grantee and shall be made available to
the State Library upon request. Grantee agrees to maintain adequate grant
program records and adequate financial records consistent with generally
accepted accounting practices, and to retain all records for at least five (5)

and Requirements section.

b. The grantee shall be responsible for submitting to the State Library
Financial Reports reflecting grantee expenditure activity. The reports are
due on the dates specified in the reporting schedule detailed in the
Procedures and Requirements section.
c. To obtain payment hereunder the grantee shall submit authorized claims
provided by the State Library for that purpose, on each of the following
mentioned dates for payment, and the California State Library agrees to
reimburse the Library as soon thereafter as State fiscal procedures will
permit.
d. The final 10% of the grant award (if applicable) is payable only upon
approval of all final reports and receipt of claim form. Failure to provide
timely reports is a serious breach of an award recipient’s administrative
duty under the award.
e. Payment will be provided to cover the expenditures incurred by the
grantee for the project in the following manner:
o $43,642 upon execution of the agreement and submission of claim by
the grantee organization.
51. Self-Dealing and Arm’s Length Transactions: All expenditures for which
reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement is sought shall be the result of arm’s-
length transactions and not the result of, or motivated by, self-dealing on the
part of the Grantee or any employee or agent of the Grantee. For purposes of
this provision, “arm’s-length transactions” are those in which both parties are on
equal footing and fair market forces are at play, such as when multiple vendors
are invited to compete for an entity’s business and the entity chooses the lowest
of the resulting bids. “Self-dealing” is involved where an individual or entity is
obligated to act as a trustee or fiduciary, as when handling public funds, and
chooses to act in a manner that will benefit the individual or entity, directly or
indirectly, to the detriment of, and in conflict with, the public purpose for which
all grant monies are to be expended.
52. Severability: If any part of this Agreement is found to be unlawful or
unenforceable, such provisions will be voided and severed from this Agreement,
but the remainder of the provisions in the Agreement will remain in full force and
effect.
53. Site Visits: The Grantee shall allow the California State Library to access and
conduct site visits, with reasonable notice, at which grant funds are expended
and related work being performed at any time during the performance of the
work and for up to ninety (90) days after completion of the work, or until all issues
related to the grant project have been resolved. A site visit may include, but not

be limited to, monitoring the use of grant funds, provide technical assistance
when needed, and to visit the State funded project.
54. Termination: The Agreement shall be subject to termination by the State
Librarian or designee upon notice to the Grantee at least thirty (30) days prior to
the effective date of termination. In the event this agreement is terminated, the
Grantee shall deliver to the State Librarian copies of all reports, accounting,
data, and materials prepared up to the date of termination. The State Librarian
shall determine and pay the Grantee for necessary and appropriate
expenditures and obligations up to the date of termination which have not been
covered by prior installments previously paid to the Grantee. Upon such
termination, the unused portion of the grant award must be returned to the
California State Library within 45 days. If funding has been advanced to the
Grantee, any unobligated balances, as determined by the State Librarian, shall
be returned to the State Library within 45 days of the notice of termination.
55. Timeline: Time is of the essence to this Agreement. It is mutually agreed
between the parties that the grant application and the timeline included therein
are part of the Agreement.
56. Unused Funds: At the end-of-term Grantee agrees to return any unexpended or
unaccounted for funds to the State Library, or to submit a written request for an
extension of the grant period. Funds will be considered unexpended or
unaccounted if they were: (1) not used for their intended purpose, or (2) used
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
Funds will also be considered unaccounted for, and must be returned, if the
proposal outcomes or deliverables are materially incomplete by the end-of-term
or earlier termination, as determined by the State Library in its sole discretion.
57. Waiver of Rights: California State Library shall not be deemed to have waived
any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed
by California State Library. No delay or omission on the part of California State
Library in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other
right. A waiver by California State Library of a provision of this Agreement shall
not prejudice or constitute a waiver of California State Library’s right otherwise to
demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this
Agreement. No prior waiver by California State Library, nor any course of
dealing between California State Library and Grantee, shall constitute a waiver
of any of California State Library’s rights or of any of grantee’s obligations as to
any future transactions. Whenever the consent of California State Library is
required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by California State

Library in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent
instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be
granted or withheld in the sole discretion of California State Library.
58. Work Products: Grantee shall provide California State Library with copies of all
final products identified in the Work Plan and Application. Grantee shall also
provide the State Library with copies of all public education and advertising
material produced pursuant to this Agreement.
59. Worker’s Compensation: The State of California will not provide Workers’
Compensation insurance for Grantee or Grantee’s employees or contract
personnel. If Grantee hires employees to perform services required by this
Agreement, Grantee shall provide Workers’ Compensation insurance for them.
The Grantee is aware of Labor Code Section 3700, which requires every
employer to be insured against liability for Workers’ Compensation or to
undertake self-insurance in accordance with the Labor Code, and the Grantee
agrees to comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of
the work of this Agreement.

RE: Contractor and Grantee Compliance with Economic Sanctions Imposed in
Response to Russia’s Actions in Ukraine
Dear Grantee,
You are receiving this notification because you currently have an active grant through the California
State Library.
On March 4, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-22 (EO) regarding
sanctions in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine. The EO is located at
https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/3.4.22-Russia-Ukraine-Executive-Order.pdf.
The EO directs all agencies and departments that are subject to the Governor’s authority to take
certain immediate steps, including notifying all contractors and grantees of their obligations to
comply with existing economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia's
actions in Ukraine, as well as any sanctions imposed under state law.
This correspondence serves as a notice under the EO that as a contractor or grantee, compliance
with the economic sanctions imposed in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine is required,
including with respect to, but not limited to, the federal executive orders identified in the EO and the
sanctions identified on the U.S. Department of the Treasury website
(https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/sanctions-programs-and-country-
information/ukraine-russia-related-sanctions). Failure to comply may result in the termination of
contracts or grants, as applicable.
Please note that for any agreements or grants valued at $5 million or more, a separate notification
will be sent outlining additional requirements specified under the EO.

and expenditures.
Executive Summary
The Library recently received a total of $10,778.85 from three sources of revenue: the
Inland Library System (ILS), the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church and the San

No.178 for children’s projects and/or books.

The Library has received electronic resources funding from the Inland Library System
and the donation from San Bernardino Emblem Club No. 178 annually for the last

Financial Stability and Key Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life, by improving
customer service.

increased in the amount of $10,778.85. Revenues received will directly offset the
expenses incurred to purchase content for its patrons.

Subject:Older Californians Nutrition Program Grant Award FY
2023/24 and Related Purchase Orders
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California adopt Resolution No. 2023-150 authorizing:
1. City Manager or designee to accept the San Bernardino County Department of
Aging and Adult Services – Public Guardian Grant Award in the amount of
$376,667;
2. Agency Director of Administrative Services, or designee, to appropriate the
grant funds to the FY 23/24 operating budget;
3. Agency Director of Administrative Services, or designee, to approve purchase
orders for continued operation of the Senior Nutrition Program for the period of
July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024 as follows:
a. Sysco Foods: $183,500
b. Hollandia Dairy: $23,500
c. Consulting Health Nutrition Services, Inc.: $17,000
4. Agency Director of Administrative Services, or designee, to amend the
operating budget for Senior Nutrition to $105,000, including an additional
$20,000 to ensure the needs of the program are met.
Executive Summary
Grant funds from the Older Californians Nutrition Program have been awarded to the
City in the amount of $376,667 for fiscal year (FY) 2023/24. Funds are administered
by San Bernardino County Department of Aging and Adult Services – Public Guardian
and will enable the City to continue providing services to older adults through its Senior
Nutrition Program. An additional $20,000 is requested to ensure the needs of the
Packet Pg. 226
community are met. The Older Californians Nutrition Program grant period runs July 1,
2023, through June 30, 2024.
Background
The City of San Bernardino administers the Senior Nutrition Program for older adults
ages 60 years and older throughout the city. The program provides lunch and dinner
meals Monday through Friday year-round at six (6) nutrition sites: 5th Street Senior
Center, Perris Hill Senior Center, Hernandez Community Center, Lytle Creek
Community Center, New Hope Family Life Center, and Highland Senior Center.
Meals are prepared in the main kitchen at the 5th Street Senior Center and safely
delivered to the other sites. Participants have the option to dine in or pick up their meal
to take home. During FY 2022/23, a total of 60,741 meals were provided and, on
average, 275 individual clients were served per day.
The City’s Senior Nutrition Program is supported by grant funds from the Older
Californian Nutrition Program, which are administered locally through San Bernardino
County Department of Aging and Adult Services – Public Guardian (DAAS-PG). On
June 1, 2022, the City entered into an agreement with DAAS-PG to provide senior
nutrition services to residents; the term of the agreement is through June 30, 2025.
On June 15, 2022, the Mayor and City Council approved Request for Qualification No:
F-22-53 for Food Supplies and Consumable Products for the Senior Nutrition Program,
and it was determined that Sysco Foods and Hollandia Dairy, Inc. were the best
responsive bidders. Subsequently, three (3) year agreements with the option to extend
twice in one-year increments were approved; annual purchase orders would be issued.
In addition to these agreements, an agreement was also executed to Consulting Health
Nutrition Services, Inc. for the same terms to provide nutrition and health counseling
to participants. Issuing annual purchase orders ensures the City continues to provide
these critical services without interruption or delays.
Due to rising costs of food and fuel and the increase in the number of meals provided,
staff have determined that additional funding will be needed from the General Fund to
ensure the City can continue to meet the needs of the community amid increasing
service levels. Staff estimate the increased cost to be approximately $20,000 more
than what was allocated in the FY23/24 budget for the Senior Nutrition Program.
Discussion
On September 11, 2023, DAAS-PG issued a Budget Approval to the City of San
Bernardino for the Senior Nutrition Program for FY 2023/24 in the amount of $376,667.
This is an increase from the previous year’s allocation of $369,749, citing a 21%
increase in the number of meals served and the opportunity for additional mid-year
funding. The allocation is for the second (2nd) year of the three (3) year grant cycle.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:October 4, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager
Lydie Gutfeld, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Community
Services
Department:Parks, Recreation, and Community Services
Subject:2023/2024 Senior Companion Program (SCP) – 3rd
Year of a 3-Year Grant Award; All Wards
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California adopt Resolution No. 2023-151,
1. Accepting the Senior Companion Program grant award in the amount of $332,662,
and
2. Authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services, or designee, to
appropriate the grant funds for the period of July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.
Executive Summary
Grant funds for the Senior Companion Program have been awarded in the amount of
$332,662 for fiscal year 2023/24. The grant match requirement is a minimum of 10%
of the total awarded amount. Funds are administered by the Corporation for National
and Community Service (AmeriCorps for Seniors) and will enable the city to provide
continued services to our aging population.
Background
Since 1975, the City has participated in the federally funded Senior Companion
Program (SCP), whereby Senior Companion Volunteers have assisted the City’s
senior-age adult residents with physical, emotional, and/or mental health needs. Most
of the residents are elderly and have no family in the area.
Senior Companion Volunteers provide the following services: companionship, grocery
shopping, transportation to medical appointments and personal errands, and providing
relief for caregivers. The volunteers must be 55 years of age or older, meet established
income eligibility guidelines, and pass a criminal background check. They serve

between 10 to 40 hours per week and receive an hourly stipend of $4 per hour, as well
as the following: accidental liability and excess automobile insurance coverage,
assistance with the cost of transportation, and onboarding physical examinations.
The Senior Companion Volunteers are not only contributing to the community, they are
also participating in a program that can give them a sense of purpose and belonging,
keeps them active, and benefits their health and longevity.
In 2022/2023, approximately 20 Senior Companion Volunteers provided 47 clients with
19,155 hours of service.
Discussion
The City received a Notice of Grant Award in the amount of $332,662 from AmeriCorps
for Seniors for fiscal year (FY) 2023/2024. This is the third year of a three-year grant
cycle (07/01/2021 – 06/30/2024) and is included in the FY 2023/24 Budget and Budget
Narrative for the administration and operation of the Senior Companion Program.
The proposed budget also specifies the City’s obligated grant match. The grant match
requirement is a minimum of 10% of the total awarded amount. The FY 2023/2024
budget includes City-funded program costs in Account No. 001-380-0509 to fulfill the
City’s grant match obligation in the amount of $112,368, and to fund the program at
the level it has historically operated. It is estimated that our Senior Companion
Volunteers will provide clients with 19,500 hours of service this year.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The grant submission for the Senior Companion Program aligns with Strategic Target
No 1: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity by securing a long-term revenue
source, and creating a framework for spending decisions; Strategic Target No 2:
Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community by implementing a community
engagement plan that builds a culture that attracts, retains, and motivates the highest
quality volunteers; and Strategic Target No 3: Improved Quality of Life by providing
assistance to seniors in the community.
Fiscal Impact
There is no impact to the General Fund with the acceptance of this grant. Budget
amounts for both the grant and the required match were adopted as part of the FY
23/24 operating budget. This appropriation requires only an adjustment to the amounts
estimated during budget adoption. This “true-up” to the actual grant received is
completed annually.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California" prior to adopt Resolution No. 2023-151,
1. Accepting the Senior Companion Program grant award in the amount of $332,662,
and

Executive Summary
Strengthening Communities
An estimated 50 AmeriCorps Seniors SCP volunteers will serve. All 50 AmeriCorps Senior Volunteers
will be placed in Outcome assignments. Some of their activities will include Companionship, Light
Housekeeping, Assistance with Meal Prep/Nutrition, Transportation, Family Caregiver Respite and
Social Activities. The primary focus area of this project is Healthy Futures. At the end of the three-year
grant, all independent in-home clients are expected to be less socially isolated and able to remain living
at home for a longer period of time; all respite clients are expected to allow family caregivers the
ability to go to work/attend to personal affairs. The AmeriCorps federal investment of $332,662 will be
supplemented by $135,460 from the City of San Bernardino General Fund with an excess amount of
$6,381.
The City of San Bernardino Senior Companion Program (SCP) in California utilizes low-income
seniors to assist socially isolated, frail elderly, disabled adults in Colton, Fontana, Grand Terrace,
Highland, Loma Linda, Redlands, Rialto, San Bernardino, and Yucaipa. AmeriCorps Senior
Volunteers will serve to allow disabled adults the ability to remain independent in their homes and
family caregivers respite to avoid caregiver burnout. Visually impaired clients will receive assistance
with reading and writing and clients who are a fall risk will receive assistance ambulating. The City of
San Bernardino Fifth Street Senior Center and the Perris Hill Senior Center Stations' volunteers serve
75% of the City of San Bernardino SCP clientele; specifically socially isolated, disabled adults. The
remaining 25% of City of San Bernardino SCP clients are involved with Volunteer Station San
Bernardino Adult Day Health Care Center for adults with developmental disabilities and adults with
dementia and with the Inland Caregiver Resource Center.
* DESCRIBES AND DEMONSTRATES THE COMMUNITY NEED.
The 2019 U.S. Census Bureau estimates state that there are 242,841 (11.3%) people who are 65 years
and older in San Bernardino County with 34,099 (14%) of them living alone. The City of San
Bernardino Senior Companion Program area of service is the Inland Empire region of the County.
The Inland Empire is located in the inland valley area of the county. In San Bernardino County there
are 16% of individuals and families living below the poverty level, which is 4.2% higher than the entire
State of California. Our SCP is currently serving 11 communities within San Bernardino County; The
San Bernardino Valley cities of Colton, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Highland, Loma Linda, Redlands,

Rialto, San Bernardino, Bloomington, Mentone, and Yucaipa. Information obtained from the 2019
Census of the U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the population of the communities served is
832,470 and encompasses a 248.4 square mile area. The estimated amount of residents over the age
of 65 is 85,486 (10.2%). The estimates indicate that 39, 080 (4.7%) of the population are Veterans. The
population by ethnicity is 60.7% Hispanic or Latino, and 39.3% Non-Hispanic or Latino. The
population by race is 56.7% White, 9.7% African American, 5.7% Asian, 0.7% American Indian and
Alaskan Native, 0.3% Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, 22.2% some other race alone, and 4.6%
identified by two or more. The community served includes mostly low-income homebound older
adults and individuals with disabilities. According to the 2019 U.S. Census Bureau, estimates indicate
141,962 (17.1%) of the population in the communities served are below the poverty level. Disability
population statistics for San Bernardino County indicates there are is 236,393 (11%) that have a
disability and in the community served the population statistics with a disability is 88,028 (10.2%).
Approximately 80% of all calls received by the SCP staff and station supervisors are by individuals
with sight impairment as their disability, have lost their ability to drive, and are in need of
transportation; this statistic has nearly doubled since March 2020.
Our SCP volunteers will assist in the primary focus area of Healthy Futures by providing homebound
or older adults and individuals with disabilities with transportation and other services to allow them to
better live independently. The primary objectives of Adult Day Care are to restore or maintain optimal
capacity for self-care to older adults and individuals with disabilities as well as to delay or prevent
inappropriate or personally undesirable institutionalization. The San Bernardino Adult Day Care
Center has identified a 75% increase risk of isolation or depression and a decline in functional abilities
in frail elderly and disabled adults in the community. People generally are social by nature, and social
relations can help them live longer, healthier lives. The daily dynamics associated with the
coronavirus pandemic has certainly challenged the effectiveness of our volunteers' activities.
Companionship and socialization are important tools in combating loneliness and preventing negative
health and medical conditions associated with loneliness. The Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) in November 2020 reported poor social relationships (characterized by social
isolation or loneliness) are associated with a 29% increased risk of heart disease, a 32% increased risk
of stroke, with about a 50% increased risk of dementia. Inland Caregivers Resource Center, Pacific
Hospice, and The Visiting Nurses Association have identified respite services for caregivers as the most
pressing community need in the Inland Empire. Furthermore, SCP volunteers will provide respite

Narratives
service to caregivers which will improve social ties or perceived social support.
From phone calls by frontline staff, recent past surveys, and interactions with seniors in our
community in a multi-faceted service industry (municipal parks and recreation), many seniors have
been found to live alone and have little to no contact with the others in the community, and the
healthcare practices of social distancing and isolationism as a result of the coronavirus provide a
"Catch 22" situation. Most of the clients have shared they would not be able to age in place without
the help of a Senior Companion, although the virus poses a severe threat to both the senior-age
companion volunteer and the senior-age client, who are most vulnerable to the virus. Peace of mind
is hard-pressed in both regards, yet the feelings of loneliness brought on by isolation can be
devastating, especially to the senior-age population and the disabled who have little or no family to
care for them.
* ARTICULATES A THEORY OF CHANGE, MEANING HOW THE SERVICES OF THE
VOLUNTEERS WILL ADDRESS THE COMMUNITY NEEDS AND HOW THE SERVICE ACTIVITY
DESCRIBED PROVIDES A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO THE OUTCOMES OF THE
WORK PLAN THAT LEAD TO NATIONAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES OUTCOMES.
SCP volunteers in the primary focus area of Healthy Futures/Companionship or Respite for
Caregivers will provide service activities to include: companionship; transportation and assistance to
medical appointments, pharmacies to obtain needed medications, grocery stores, and/or food banks;
and other services such as pay utilities and legal assistance to help them live more independently.
Some SCP volunteers will also provide direct respite services to caregivers that will provide temporary
relief from the stresses of caregiving by providing short term assistance for an adult who is the
primary caregiver for another person. SCP volunteers help with the daily living activities that allow
clients to stay living independently longer, especially those with little or no site and have difficulty with
identifying the right medications to take, cooking meals, home cleaning tasks, or responding to e-
mails or letter writing. Many seniors in our service area are homebound for these reasons with no
close family or neighborly contacts that only have the daily wellness checks conducted by the
volunteer Companion as their sole contact with the outside world. These social checks give hope and
fight the negative effects of depression upon both the physical and mental health of the client, not to
mention the benefits that this altruistic behavior extends to the volunteer. Activity logs or timesheets
will indicate the hourly and financial contributions to the national performance measures. Outputs

and outcomes will also be determined by the use of annual client and caregiver surveys that should
reflect the benefits of the program, as well as monthly testimonials to be reported.
* LOGICALLY CONNECTS ALL ELEMENTS TOGETHER, AS DESCRIBED IN THE NOTICE.
o THE COMMUNITY NEED(S) IDENTIFIED;
The community served includes mostly low-income homebound older adults and individuals with
disabilities in need of companionship, transportation, assistance to obtain food and essential needs as
well as medical services. The Adult Day Care Facility/Program is in need of volunteers to provide
companionship to restore or maintain optimal capacity for self-care to older adults and individuals
with disabilities. Caregivers are in need of respite services to allow them short term, temporary relief
from the stresses of caregiving and of an increase in social support of the client.
o THE SERVICE ACTIVITIES THAT WILL BE CARRIED OUT BY AMERICORPS SENIORS
VOLUNTEERS;
AmeriCorps Seniors Volunteer service activities will include: companionship; respite services;
transportation and assistance to medical appointments, pharmacies to obtain needed medications,
grocery stores and/or food banks, and other services such as utilities pay, finding legal assistance,
reading mail, e-mail replies, and letter dictation to help them live more independently.
o THE INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION AND DATA COLLECTION PLANS;
SCP staff and Advisory Council members will routinely conduct annual client and caregiver surveys
that measure desired national outcomes. Surveys will be collected and measured based on the
measurement tool instructions. Surveys will be kept on file in the SCP office. Survey outputs and
outcomes will be reported in the annual progress report in the E-grants system. Monthly testimonials
will also be routinely provided.
o WORK PLANS THAT INCLUDE TARGET NUMBERS THAT LEAD TO OUTCOMES OR
OUTPUTS, AND ARE APPROPRIATE FOR TOTAL NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS ASSIGNED TO
THE WORK PLAN;
10 unduplicated volunteers, at one site, will provide respite services/companionship service to 30
caregivers with 20 individuals of older adults and individuals with disabilities reporting having

increased perceived social support. 40 unduplicated volunteers, at three sites, will provide
Companionship, Nutrition/Food Support, Transportation, and Medical Services to 150 individuals
with 130 individuals served reporting having increased social ties or perceived social support. Target
numbers are based on 3-4 outputs per volunteer and outcomes are based on prior years of clients not
being about to be reached to survey.
* WORK PLAN OUTPUTS AND OUTCOMES ALIGN WITH NATIONAL PERFORMANCE
MEASURES REQUIREMENTS.
SCP volunteers in the primary focus area of Healthy Futures/Companionship or Respite for
Caregivers will provide service activities to include: transportation and assistance to medical
appointments, pharmacies to obtain needed medications, grocery stores and/or food banks, and other
services such as utilities pay, finding legal assistance, reading mail, e-mail replies, and letter dictation
to help them live more independently. SCP volunteers will provide direct respite services to caregivers.
Activity logs or timesheets will indicate the hourly and financial contributions to the national
performance measures. Outputs and outcomes will also be determined by the use of annual client and
caregiver satisfaction surveys in addition to direct VSY data.
* WORK PLAN OUTPUTS AND OUTCOMES ARE ACHIEVABLE, BASED ON RESOURCES,
PROGRAM DESIGN, AND VOLUNTEERS ENGAGED.
The City of San Bernardino SCP project has been under the sponsorship of Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department for 46 years. The Department has organized personnel to ensure the
success of the Program. The Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, Jim
Tickemyer, provides support and positive leadership for the SCP program to the City Manager, City
Council and Mayor, and the San Bernardino community at large. Direct support, leadership, and
supervision are provided to the program by Mitch Assumma, Community Recreation Manager. The
City of San Bernardino also has two full time employees that work solely with the SCP program to
assure work plans are achieved and in support of the program. The City of San Bernardino SCP has
worked, and continues to work, with the San Bernardino County Department of Aging and Adult
Services, Alzheimer¿s Association, Lighthouse for the Blind, Meals-on-Wheels, Family Service Agency,
other various Community organizations, and other Senior Centers. The Program has a good history of
meeting its VSY benchmarks, with a FY2021-2022 Volunteer Recruitment Plan in place. Even with
the challenges faced by an entire country due to the coronavirus pandemic, SCP Companion

volunteers, while in a vulnerable population for the virus that has been impacted in a deadly manner,
are ready, willing, and able to help their communities recover from the pandemic. The City has
already taken precautionary measures in identifying alternative service activities as well as providing
personal protective equipment and materials to both the volunteer and the clients, along with
incorporating safe and healthy protocols as recommended by the CDC for controlling and mitigating
the negative health effects of the virus.
* YOUR PLAN AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO ENSURE AMERICORPS SENIOR VOLUNTEERS
RECEIVE TRAINING NEEDED TO SUCCEED IN THE SERVICE ACTIVITIES DESCRIBED IN
THE WORKPLAN.
SCP staff working with our Advisory Council and station supervisors will use prior assignment plans
and needs of community as well as needs of volunteers to assist us in developing the topics for our
monthly In-Service training, and include those topics in our 20 hour pre-service orientation. New
volunteers are required to go through 20-hour pre-service orientation training with the program
coordinator. Training includes, but is not limited to, SCP handbook review, policies, and procedures,
Modules from CNCS website, training from Alzheimer's Association website, "What would you do?"
videos from CNCS, and available client resources in the community such as food distribution, local
senior center services, mental health care, legal assistance, funeral/trust/will planning retirement,
insurance fraud, personal safety, and other information of interest to senior-age individuals. As our
focus area is Healthy Futures, our in-service training will include, but not be limited to: how to avoid
slips and falls, making good decisions about driving, Alzheimer's/Dementia, how to maintain a
healthy brain, how to prevent mail fraud and other financial scams that target seniors, safe use of
medications, healthy eating and nutritional information, and exercises for elderly and disabled adults,
to name a few. We will include training on area specific disaster planning such as earthquakes and, of
course, the latest information on disease control, especially regarding the COVID-19 virus. SCP staff
will network with other community organizations to secure speakers to give presentations and
informational handouts in a virtual format, at least until such time as training can be effectively done
so in a socially distanced manner. Access to a computer or smartphone and how to use each will be a
priority to the extent possible, as the older generation needs greater assistance and patience in learning
new technology. Sign-in sheets will be used to monitor volunteer involvement.

VOLUNTEER POOL REFLECTIVE OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED.
o o The SCP staff will recruit at many community outreach events (as the COVID-19 restrictions will
allow), health fairs, and other venues/networks with local agencies for new volunteers. We will
advertise in the City website page, on several local electronic marquees, local hard-print media sources
as well as several social media sources. We will attend routine community meetings focused on
senior-age services provided by the County of San Bernardino. Another plan to recruit volunteers will
be to collaborate with Healthcare plan Representative to attend community focused meetings and
connect with community organization representatives. We will also advertise at local low-income
senior housing communities and Senior Centers primarily through postings and phone calls. We will
send our recruitment flyers and brochures bi-annually to an extensive mail list of local churches, golf
clubs, businesses providing senior services (auto repair shops, hair styling and beauty shops, laundry
facilities, travel and tour agencies), community service groups who tend to have older board
members, and other senior living facilities. A connection with the community outreach departments
of California State University, San Bernardino is planned and will grow as the University opens more
communication avenues with the opening of previously closed campus activity due to the
coronavirus. As the majority of Companion volunteers are of black decent in San Bernardino, both the
Black Chamber of Commerce and the Black Alumni Association of Cal State San Bernardino will also
be a source of recruitment.
o INDIVIDUALS FROM DIVERSE RACES, ETHNICITIES, SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS, OR
DEGREES OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY
The SCP staff recruits for volunteers with no restrictions on the basis of formal education, experience,
race, color, national origin including limited English proficiency, gender, age, religion, sexual
orientation, disability, gender identity or expression, political affiliation, marital or parental status, or
military service. Individuals with bi-lingual skills in Spanish are highly sought due to a large number
of Spanish-speaking residents in the Inland Empire service area. Currently there is Spanish-speaking
staff at the 5th Street Senior Center where the Program Office is located, and there is at least one
Spanish-speaking station supervisor and several volunteer Companions that assist with prospective
volunteers.
o VETERANS AND MILITARY FAMILY MEMBERS AS AMERICORPS SENIORS VOLUNTEERS
SCP staff will establish a communication network with volunteer center coordinators and social
workers at the Veterans Hospital in Loma Linda as a significant outlet in its recruitment efforts to
attract volunteer veterans and military family members to become SCP volunteers. We will also visit

veteran organizations in our service area to make face-to-face appeals before their boards and
memberships: The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, The Eagles, and The Elks.
o AMERICORPS SENIORS VOLUNTEERS WITH DISABILITIES
The SCP staff will assist volunteers with disabilities to accommodate their need such as reading for
volunteers who are illiterate or accommodating work assignments to meet the ability of volunteer¿s
limitations such as provision of a walker or cane.
SCP staff will attend the Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) quarterly meetings to recruit
individuals with age-related disabilities.

The City of San Bernardino SCP does have an age requirement for eligibility of 55 or older for
volunteers SCP staff verify age with the volunteers Government-issued driver¿s license or
identification card.
* YOUR PLAN AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO RETAIN AND RECOGNIZE THE AMERICORPS SCP
VOLUNTEERS.
SCP staff, with the assistance of the SCP Advisory Council, will plan, coordinate, and hold an Annual
Volunteer Recognition Event for all volunteers near the latter part of the fiscal year. Each volunteer is
recognized for their volunteer service with a meal, a gift or gift bag filled with goodies, and a
certificate of appreciation which includes their years of service, and volunteers are recognized for the
top most volunteer hours. We also hold a Holiday Social in December as a mid-year inspiration for the
volunteers, with gifts and festivities as well. We also recognize volunteers at our monthly in-service
meetings for specific outstanding actions and recognize volunteers who have birthdays in that month,
sharing a birthday song and cake. We receive many In-Kind donations for the holiday event and
Annual Volunteer Recognition Event, cake donations, gift cards, items for goodie bags, etc. SCP staff
also provides guidance and an ¿Open Door¿ policy for volunteers to share concerns and gain support
for their needs or just for peace of mind. Another way we retain volunteer service is by conducting an
annual SCP Volunteer Satisfaction Survey from all volunteers and following through with their input
where possible. All information received from the survey is reported and we will address any areas of
dissatisfaction immediately and with finality.

AS PREVENTING OR IDENTIFYING PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES).
Through the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreement (which includes the self-certification
section to ensure that all volunteer stations are public or private non-profit organizations or licensed
proprietary health care facilities), each volunteer site agrees to follow the guidelines that are set inside
the agreement. Through periodic volunteer station visits and interaction with the volunteer
supervisors we are able to see the work that is being done to identify and prevent prohibited activities.
Each Site Supervisor will be provided a policies and procedures manual with pertinent forms included.
The information of the Site Supervisor will be periodically updated as the contact information may
change. They are also responsible to give the Companion their work assignment and provide SCP staff
with and assignment plan or care plan and a signed Letter of Agreement. New volunteer stations are
developed through an on-site visit with the station site supervisor and staff to explain how we can help
their clients, what our respective roles and responsibilities will be, and defining the supervisor and
communication channels. The Program Manager will assign Companions to the volunteer site to
develop skills and capabilities that would prepare the Companion for needed community service to the
agency. All Companion assignments must meet the following stipulations: Create new or expand
existing community services, provide meaningful work and the opportunity to learn new skills that
can possibly help both the Companion and the client, and all volunteer stations must be in a safe,
drug-free and healthy environment. The Coordinator of Volunteers provides oversight of each
volunteer site supervisor. As needed the program manager will research organizations in the service
area to recruit new stations in line with work plans and regulations. At this time we have 4 volunteer
stations which meet the needs of the program, but are in the process of building new relationships
both for outreach (volunteer/client recruitment) and potential new volunteer stations to serve the
community directly as we refine the changes which have already been implemented.
* YOUR PLAN AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO DEVELOP AND/OR OVERSEE VOLUNTEER

SCP staff will perform quarterly volunteer station visits. During those visits client and or caregiver
assignment plans or care plans will be discussed and evaluated with each volunteer station supervisors
to ensure that volunteers are performing their requested activities. A simple checklist to document the
visit will be developed and utilized going forward. If changes or additions to volunteer's activities need
to be made, a new care plan will be devised during that time and immediately implemented. Site

Supervisors will do annual assessments with clients to update assignment plans. Timesheets will be
used, including client name and initialed dates of service, to ensure volunteers are performing their
assigned service activities. Site Supervisors are responsible to approve timesheets and to make sure
that the pay period dates, number of hours volunteered, and dates of volunteering are correct for the
month being reported.
* YOUR EXPERIENCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL TRACK RECORD IN WORK PLANS THAT
LEAD TO NATIONAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES OUTCOMES.
SCP volunteers have provided volunteer service to the City of San Bernardino for over forty years.
Since the beginning of receiving funding from Action and then CNCS, the program has always
provided personal one-on-one service to senior citizens, then to disabled adults, and then to caregivers.
SCP Volunteers provide companionship, nutrition/food support, transportation and medical services to
individuals served who have reported as having significantly increased life-enhancing social ties or
perceived social support. The greatest challenge by far is related to the efficient recruitment of
qualified volunteers, especially when the average age of the volunteer Companion is 70 years and
turnover is high due to normal death rates. One reason we are successful in recruitment is because we
have employed two full-time, benefitted employees to manage the Program. Annual and semi-annual
progress reports have always been evaluated as favorable and on-time, with prompt resolution of any
discrepancies. Most recent performance measurements have been reported in E-grants.

Department's sole purpose is the application and enforcement of sound fiscal management practices
and procedures regarding all city services. All City Departments follow audited public common
practice financial policies and procedures as outlined in the City's Financial Operations Manual. These
are all subject to Council approval and are maintained by the Finance and City Manager
Departments. The City's program-based Fiscal Year operates July 1st through June 30th of the
following year. The Finance Department is one of 13 city departments. This department acts as the
centralized and formal means of disseminating Cost Principle Guidelines, as well as Administrative
Guidelines and Audit Guidelines to the rest of the city departments/divisions.
o ACCOUNTABILITY
The City maintains a high level of checks and balances in its fiscal management systems, including a
hierarchy review and approval process designed to ensure accurate budget management and timely
fiscal reporting system for the Senior Services Division of the Department. The City utilizes a reliable
and audited service delivery system that has effectively met or exceeded all prior years' performance
objectives of AmeriCorps Seniors. The City's Purchasing Division assists all departments in ensuring
that internal procedures are in place for all accounts payable and receivables. Budget development and
use is administered by the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department staff and further
supported by the Finance Department staff, especially for travel and reimbursements for volunteers.
The City of San Bernardino is celebrating forty-six years of demonstrated services as a provider of
Volunteer Service Programs for youth and seniors. The City of San Bernardino SCP project has been

Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, Jim Tickemyer, provides support
and positive leadership for the SCP program to the City Manager, City Council and Mayor, and the
San Bernardino community at large. Direct support, leadership, and supervision are provided to the
program by Mitch Assumma, Community Recreation Manager.
o EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE USE OF AVAILABLE RESOURCES
The City of San Bernardino SCP has worked and continues to work with the San Bernardino County
Department of Aging and Adult Services, Catholic Charities, Lighthouse for the Blind, Meals on
Wheels, Family Service Agency, and various Community and Senior Centers. The SCP program
effectively uses The City of San Bernardino Fifth Street Senior Center to hold In-service training
meetings. SCP also benefits from knowledge of local organizations on valuable training for volunteers.

video chats, delivery of groceries, medications, meals or other essential items to homebound or isolated
seniors. SCP Volunteers will serve between 4-8 hours and 10-40 hours per week at the client’s home or
Adult Day Health Care.
A recent study by the California Department of Aging (2020) estimated that 38% of women and 35% of men over the age of 65 need some form of
assistance with personal care including assistance getting food and medications and transportation assistance getting to medical appointments.
Isolation increases the risk of mortality, negatively affect both physical and mental health and lead to loss of the ability to stay independent,
according to the senior living blog from A Place for Mom. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in November 2020 reports that poor
social relationships (characterized by social isolation or loneliness) were associated with a 29% increased risk of heart disease, a 32% increased
risk of stroke, with about a 50% increased risk of dementia. According to the 2019 Census of the U.S. Census Bureau in San Bernardino County,
14% of those age 65 years and older (34,099) live alone. With 10.2% of the population in the service area over the age of 65 and 17.1% of the
population in the service area living below the poverty level, the need is strong for SCP companions to assist clients to continue to live
independently in their own homes through companionship, transportation assistance, help to receive medical services, and nutrition/food support.
An additional place to provide companionship is through adult day care. The primary objectives of Adult Day Care are to restore or maintain optimal
capacity for self-care to older adults and individuals with disabilities and delay or prevent inappropriate or personally undesirable
institutionalization. The San Bernardino Adult Day Care Center has identified a 75% increase risk of isolation and depression and a decline in
functional abilities in frail elderly and disabled adults in the community.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our country has experienced an unprecedented decline of the stock market, a time of businesses closing
their doors and unparalleled unemployment, food pantries overrun wit

Description:
More than one in five Americans (21.3%) are caregivers and more family caregivers (26%) have difficultly coordinating care which is up 19% from
2015 (AARP, National Alliance for Caregiving – May 14, 2020). The article also states that 23% of caregivers have reported their own health has
worsened from caregiving without respite. With this being a very difficult and stressful situation (even without the effects of COVID-19) family
caregivers are in need of respite service to avoid caregiver burnout. In fact, many of these caregivers are part of the Sandwich Generation, people
who have children, demanding jobs, and aging parents. Many of these families do reach out for help in the form of respite care and longer term
hourly and live-in care, which demonstrates why the non-medical home care is so important and needed. The Inland Caregivers Resource
Center (ICRC), Pacific Hospice, and the Visiting Nurses Association have identified respite services for caregivers as one of the most pressing
community needs. Request to agencies for caregiver respite services are rapidly increasing, causing waiting lists for these services. Demographic
projections indicate that demand will continue to increase in the future. Senior Companions are needed to provide respite services to caregivers.
In late March of 2020, our country was plunged into a series of events that have not been experienced in modern history in the form of COVID-19.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our country has experienced an unprecedented decline of the stock market, a time of businesses closing
their doors and unparalleled unemployment, food pantries overrun with families who in the past donated to such organizations now needed the
services of them, education systems which are having to redefine how learning will take will take place in the future and in the most simplest
terms a complete overflow of citizens needing services from our nation’s health care system. In San Bernardino County as of February 8

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:October 4, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager
Darren Goodman, Chief of Police
Department:Police
Subject:Accept 2022 Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Grant
(All Wards)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-152 authorizing:
1. The City Manager to accept the FY2022 Urban Areas Security Initiative Grant
funds; and
2. The Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the Fiscal Year
2023/24 Adopted Budget by $100,000 in both revenue and expenditures.
Executive Summary
Staff is recommending the adoption of Resolution No. 2023-152 to accept the FY2022
UASI grant and amend the FY2023/24 Adopted Budget revenue and expenditures by
$100,000, for the purpose of purchasing portable pole cameras for the Police
Department.
Background
The City of San Bernardino has been a participant in the Urban Areas Security Initiative
(UASI) Grant program since 2008 and has used funds to purchase equipment to
enhance security and better prepare for emergencies for San Bernardino citizens, and
employees, while also serving as regional multi-agency resources. Grant funds are
administered through the City of Riverside Office of Emergency Management. The
UASI Program assists high-density Urban Areas in building and sustaining capabilities
to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of
terrorism using the Whole Community approach.
Discussion
Public safety is important to the City and its citizens, and the Police Department is
Packet Pg. 357
Page 2
constantly looking for new methods and technology to improve service capabilities and
operate more effectively on behalf of the public. For the 2022 UASI grant, the Police
Department submitted a proposal for equipment to improve its capabilities to monitor
public safety and identify criminal behavior. The equipment requested
included portable pole-mounted video cameras, capable of being deployed in the
field and transmitting a wireless video feed for remote monitoring by law enforcement
personnel. These would be self-contained cameras with battery packs recharged by
a solar panel, allowing them to be deployed on a temporary basis at a variety of
locations. In May of 2023, the Department received notification that the grant
application was successful, and the Department was awarded funding of $100,000 for
the project. In August of 2023, the Police Department received notification that it was
authorized to spend UASI grant funds on the approved project.
Each year there are a variety of public events held in the City that range from small-
scale events drawing crowds from local communities to large-scale events that draw
tens of thousands of attendees from locations around the nation. Examples include
Rendezvous Back to Route 66, multiple annual music festivals, and city-sponsored
events such as Festival. These events are held at locations throughout the City and
the Police Department is charged with maintaining public safety at each of them. The
Police Department does possess camera trailers that can be deployed at ground level,
but it does not currently have any camera equipment that can be mounted in a higher
position to offer a broader view of events without obstructing ground-level activity or
foot traffic. Portable pole-mounted cameras will be capable of deployment individually
or in conjunction with camera trailers to provide portable surveillance capabilities.
In addition to special events, portable cameras can also support ongoing crime
deterrence efforts in public spaces where camera trailers are the only current option
for deployment. The camera trailers are in high demand and deployed frequently due
to their high visibility and deterrent effects. Portable pole-mounted cameras will also
be highly visible and have similar deterrent effects, increasing the equipment the Police
Department can use toward crime prevention efforts.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The acceptance of UASI Grant funds aligns with Goal No. 2 b: Focused, Aligned
Leadership and Unified Community: Evaluate operations and performance, investment
in resources, technology, and tools to continually improve organizational efficiency and
effectiveness. The acceptance of UASI grant funds will improve the resources
available to the Police Department for use toward improving the quality of life within
the City.

Page 14 of 15 Initials
(a) All iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States – this
means all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the
application of coatings, occurred in the United States;
(b) All manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United
States – this means the manufactured product was manufactured in the
United States; and the cost of the components of the manufactured product
that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States is greater

apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to
the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure
project. Nor does a Buy America preference apply to equipment and furnishings,
such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at
or within the finished infrastructure project but are not an integral part of the structure
or permanently affixed to the infrastructure project.
Per section 70914(c) of BABAA, FEMA may waive the application of a Buy America

obligated after January 1, 2023, Applicants will be required to follow the BABAA
requirements unless another waiver is requested and approved.

Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-153 authorizing:
1. The City Manager to accept and administer the FY 2023/24 California Office of
Traffic Safety (OTS) Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grant; and
2. The Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the FY 2023/24 Adopted
Budget by $567,000 in both revenue and expenditures.
Executive Summary
The City of San Bernardino Police Department was awarded a FY 2023/24 OTS Grant
in the amount of $567,000. The Department will use grant funding to staff enforcement
efforts to include DUI Enforcement, traffic enforcement, motorcycle safety
enforcement, and bicycle/pedestrian enforcement. Staff recommends that the Mayor
and City Council accept the grant award and amend the FY 2023/24 adopted budget
to receive grant funds.
Background
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) has awarded its Selective
Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grant for Fiscal Year 2023/24 to law enforcement
agencies in the state that have shown the best practice strategies to reduce traffic
collisions and promote traffic safety awareness. The City of San Bernardino has
received annual OTS STEP grant funding for well over a decade and has been
awarded $567,000 for Federal Fiscal Year October 1, 2023, through September 30,
2024.
Packet Pg. 384
Discussion
The OTS STEP grant combines several traffic enforcement programs under a single
grant umbrella, which reimburses law enforcement agencies for overtime worked on
proven traffic enforcement strategies such as driving under the influence/California
driver’s license (DUI/CDL) checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols. In addition to
checkpoints and saturation patrols, the Police Department will use grant funds to
develop a “Hot Sheet” program to alert patrol and traffic officers to be on the lookout
for identified repeat DUI offenders with suspended or revoked licenses as a result of
DUI convictions. Using STEP grant funding, the Police Department will also add patrols
focused on motorcycle DUI enforcement, traffic enforcement, collaborative DUI
enforcement with neighboring agencies, motorcycle safety enforcement, and
bicycle/pedestrian safety enforcement operations. Grant funding will provide for
supervisors, detectives, officers, and professional staff to accomplish OTS STEP grant
objectives. Staffing levels will vary depending on the enforcement detail being worked.
There are no matching fund requirements for this grant.
All grant funded traffic operations will be conducted to make the streets of San
Bernardino safer for all pedestrians and motorists. In addition to enforcement
strategies, the STEP program will seek voluntary compliance of traffic laws through
public education and safety awareness campaigns throughout the one-year grant
period. The grant will reimburse the cost of DUI related training for officers, supplies
used at checkpoints, and preliminary alcohol screening (PAS) device/calibration
supplies. Staff recommends the Mayor and City Council authorize the City Manager to
accept, execute, and administer the State of California OTS STEP Grant Agreement
for Grant Number 24-004883.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The acceptance and administration of the OTS STEP grant aligns with strategic targets
and goal: 1.c. Improved Operational & Financial Capacity: Implement, maintain, and
update a fiscal accountability plan, and 3. c. Improved Quality of Life: Constantly
evaluate public safety service delivery models to enhance the quality of service.
Fiscal Impact
There is no impact to the General Fund, as there are no matching fund requirements
for this grant. Both revenue and expenditure will be increased by the grant amount of
$567,000 in the FY 2023/24 Budget.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-153 authorizing:
1. The City Manager to accept and administer the FY 2023/24 California Office of
Traffic Safety (OTS) Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grant; and
Packet Pg. 385

GRANT AGREEMENT
Schedule A
GRANT NUMBER
PT24169
1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of San Bernardino has a high proportion of traffic crashes. The city is noted for a high level of
violent crime, with a high rate of fatalities and crashes. Forty percent of our fatalities are pedestrian related,
with 98% involving homeless persons.
San Bernardino is the second-largest city in the Inland Empire metropolitan area of California and
experiences a large volume of commuter and commercial traffic. San Bernardino is at the crossroads of the
Inland Empire for commercial traffic and has been impacted by a great increase of commercial businesses,
warehouses, and truck traffic, including ingress and egress of employee traffic at all hours.
Traffic enforcement efforts have resulted in an increase of traffic fatalities of over eight percent and a
decrease in injuries of 35 percent. Bicycle crashes have been greatly reduced. Driving under the influence of
alcohol fatalities decreased by fifty percent, but drug related fatalities increased 83 percent. The current
2022 fatality rate in San Bernardino is 21.6 per capita. Nationally, 2018 fatal crash rates are at a
comparative 11.18 per capita. Using California OTS ranking information for 2020, San Bernardino had a
composite ranking of 1 out of 61 cities in the State of California. During 2022, traffic fatalities increased over
eight percent, while the national trend continued to rise at about seven percent.
One of the major contributors to our crime and traffic issues, besides disregard for the law and safety, is a
lack of manpower. Due to a high number of calls for service, patrol units are not able to conduct highly
visible traffic enforcement. The motor unit is tasked with high visibility enforcement, but staffs only six
officers with an auxiliary unit of ten officers to assist with investigations. The Patrol Division has a high
priority level for new staffing, resulting in a reduction of motor officers. The grant funds that have been
awarded by the Office of Traffic Safety have been extremely beneficial to the residents, businesses, and
visitors of San Bernardino. Grant funds put more officers on the streets for enforcement of traffic laws and
educating the public.
In 2022, the San Bernardino Police Department was tasked with investigating 46 fatal traffic crashes,
resulting in 48 deaths on our city streets. Many fatal traffic investigations were sent to the San Bernardino
County District Attorney’s Office for review and possible manslaughter or murder filings due to gross
negligence for several involved drivers. These investigations are time consuming and take the traffic officers
off the street for a substantial amount of time, which also adds to the decrease in our proactive time to
enforce traffic laws. The funds granted By California Office of Traffic Safety substantially increase officers
proactive time to increase traffic safety.

3. METHOD OF PROCEDURE
A. Phase 1 – Program Preparation (1st Quarter of Grant Year)
The department will develop operational plans to implement the “best practice” strategies
outlined in the objectives section.
All training needed to implement the program should be conducted in the first quarter.
All grant related purchases needed to implement the program should be made in the first quarter.
In order to develop/maintain the “DUI BOLOs,” research will be conducted to identify the “worst of

description, current license status, and the number of times suspended or revoked for DUI. DUI
BOLOs should be updated and distributed to traffic and patrol officers at least monthly.
Implementation of the STEP grant activities will be accomplished by deploying personnel at high
crash locations.
Media Requirements Issue a press release approved by the OTS PIO announcing the kick-off of the
grant by November 15, but no sooner than October 1. The kick-off release must be approved by the
OTS PIO and only distributed after the grant is fully signed and executed. If you are unable to meet the
November 15 deadline to issue a kick-off press release, communicate reasons to your OTS coordinator
and OTS PIO.
B. Phase 2 – Program Operations (Throughout Grant Year)
The department will work to create media opportunities throughout the grant period to call
attention to the innovative program strategies and outcomes.
Media Requirements
The following requirements are for all grant-related activities:
Send all media advisories, alerts, videos, graphics, artwork, posters, radio/PSA/video scripts,
storyboards, digital and/or print educational materials for grant-related activities to the OTS PIO
at pio@ots.ca.gov for approval and copy your OTS coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7
days before the scheduled release but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release
date for review and approval is appreciated.
The OTS PIO is responsible for the approval of the design and content of materials. The agency
understands OTS PIO approval is not authorizing approval of budget expenditure or cost. Any
cost approvals must come from the Coordinator.
Pre-approval is not required when using any OTS-supplied template for media advisories, press
releases, social media graphics, videos or posts, or any other OTS-supplied educational material.
However, copy the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and your OTS coordinator when any material is
distributed to the media and public, such as a press release, educational material, or link to social
media post. The OTS-supplied kick-off press release templates and any kickoff press releases
are an exception to this policy and require prior approval before distribution to the media and
public.
If an OTS-supplied template, educational material, social media graphic, post or video is
substantially changed, the changes shall be sent to the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov for approval
and copy to your OTS Coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7 days prior to the scheduled
release date, but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date for review and
approval is appreciated.
Press releases, social media posts and alerts on platforms such as NextDoor and Nixle reporting
immediate and time-sensitive grant activities (e.g. enforcement operations, day of event
highlights or announcements, event invites) are exempt from the OTS PIO approval process. The
OTS PIO and your Coordinator should still be notified when the grant-related activity is
happening (e.g. car seat checks, bicycle rodeos, community presentations, DUI checkpoints,
etc.).
Enforcement activities such as warrant and probation sweeps, court stings, etc. that are
embargoed or could impact operations by publicizing in advance are exempt from the PIO
approval process. However, announcements and results of activities should still be copied to the
OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and your Coordinator with embargoed date and time or with
“INTERNAL ONLY: DO NOT RELEASE” message in subject line of email.
Packet Pg. 394
8/22/2023 2:04:35 PM Page 6 of 17
Any earned or paid media campaigns for TV, radio, digital or social media that are part of a
specific grant objective, using OTS grant funds, or designed and developed using contractual
services by a subgrantee, requires prior approval. Please send to the OTS PIO at
pio@ots.ca.gov for approval and copy your grant coordinator at least 3 business days prior to the
scheduled release date.
Social media posts highlighting state or national traffic safety campaigns (Distracted Driving
Month, Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, etc.), enforcement operations (DUI checkpoints,
etc.), or any other grant-related activity such as Bicycle rodeos, presentations, or events, are
highly encouraged but do not require prior approval.
Submit a draft or rough-cut of all digital, printed, recorded or video material (brochures, posters,
scripts, artwork, trailer graphics, digital graphics, social posts connected to an earned or paid
media campaign grant objective) to the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and copy your OTS
Coordinator for approval prior to the production or duplication.
Use the following standard language in all press, media, and printed materials, space permitting:
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety,
through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Space permitting, include the OTS logo on all grant-funded print materials, graphics and paid or
earned social media campaign grant objective; consult your OTS Coordinator for specifics,
format-appropriate logos, or if space does not permit the use of the OTS logo.
Email the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and copy your OTS Coordinator at least 21 days in
advance, or when first confirmed, a short description of any significant grant-related traffic safety
event or program, particularly events that are highly publicized beforehand with anticipated media
coverage so OTS has sufficient notice to arrange for attendance and/or participation in the event.
If unable to attend, email the OTS PIO and coordinator brief highlights and/or results, including
any media coverage (broadcast, digital, print) of event within 7 days following significant grant-
related event or program. Media and program highlights are to be reflected in QPRs.
Any press releases, work plans, scripts, storyboards, artwork, graphics, videos or any
educational or informational materials that received PIO approval in a prior grant year needs to
be resubmitted for approval in the current grant year.
Contact the OTS PIO or your OTS Coordinator for consultation when changes from any of the
above requirements might be warranted.

Executive Summary
Staff recommends the acceptance of the FY 2023 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance
Grant in the amount of $230,081 for the purpose of creating a real-time crime center
within the Police Department.
Background
The San Bernardino Police Department is a sub-recipient of the Edward Byrne
Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) through the County of San Bernardino. The
JAG grant is a formulary grant that is allocated based on population and a three-year
average of reported violent crime. The City of San Bernardino has been designated a
disparate jurisdiction, which allows the City to receive one-and-one-half of the County
Allocation. San Bernardino County serves as the grant recipient, administrator, and
fiscal agent for the JAG program funds and is allowed to charge each jurisdiction a 5%
administrative fee from the jurisdiction’s allocation. JAG grants are cash grants paid in
advance with no requirement for matching funds.
Discussion
The San Bernardino Police Department has received a grant award in the amount of
Packet Pg. 407

September 1, 2023. The project proposed for the FY2023 JAG grant was technology-
based and involved the purchase of necessary hardware and software to establish a
real-time crime center at the Police Department.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request to authorize the receipt, obligation, and expenditure of the FY2023 JAG
grant aligns with Goal No. 3. Improved Quality of Life: Constantly evaluate public safety
service delivery models to enhance the quality of service.

Date:October 4, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Ernesto Salinas, Acting Director of Public Works, Operations
and Maintenance
Department:Public Works
Subject:Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan FY 2023/24 to FY
2027/28 for Measure I Local Expenditures
(All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-155 approving the Measure I Five-Year
Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Year 2023/24 through Fiscal Year 2027/28 and
Measure I Expenditure Strategy.
Executive Summary:
Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-155 will approve the Five-Year Measure I Capital
Improvement Plan (MICIP) and approve the Measure I Expenditure Strategy. The
Resolution is required to continue to receive Measure I Local Street Project Funds
(Local Funds). The projects identified in the Resolution have been previously
identified in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and will not impact the General
Fund.
Background
In November 1989, voters approved Measure I that authorized the San Bernardino
County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to impose a one-half of one percent retail
transaction and use tax. This tax was applicable throughout the County for a period
of 20 years beginning April 1, 1990, and extending to March 31, 2010, and is
commonly known as the 1/2-Cent Sales and Road Tax (Measure I). In November
2004, voters approved an extension of the 1/2-cent sales tax for an additional 30
years from April 1, 2010, through March 31, 2040.
Discussion
The City is required to adopt a Five-Year MCIP annually. This plan identifies projects
and the estimated Measure I expenditures. This an annual requirement to continue
to receive Local Funds. Local Funds can be expensed for any eligible transportation
Packet Pg. 434

purpose determined to be a local priority. This includes improvements for local
streets, major highways, state highway, transit, and other improvements that
maximize the use of transportation facilities. Expenditure of Local Funds shall be
based upon a Five-Year MICIP adopted annually by the governing body of each
jurisdiction after being made available for public review and comment.
The Five-Year MICIP only relates to the expenditure of Measure I funds, and each
agency is required to update their plan annually. If approved, the City would be
committed to expending funds in accordance with the first year of the MICIP. The
second through fifth years are estimates for planning purposes and the MICIP will
be evaluated annually to update projects and estimates identified in future years.
In addition to obtaining approval for the proposed Five-Year MICIP for FY 2023-
2028, the proposed Resolution includes language asserting that the City of San
Bernardino will meet its base year level Maintenance of Effort of approximately
$1.1M for FY 2023/24. Pursuant to Policy VLS-25 of the Measure I Strategic Plan,
jurisdictions provide an annual statement in the resolution of the governing body
adopting the Five-Year MICIP which acknowledges that the jurisdiction will maintain
General Fund expenditures for transportation related construction and maintenance
activities at the required base year level within the fiscal year.
City staff is recommending approval of the proposed Five-Year MICIP for FY 2023-
2028 (Attachment 2, Exhibit A). The projects shown in the five years of the MICIP
reflect the projects and budget amounts included in the City's previously adopted
Capital Improvement Plan budget. However, only projects in the first year of the
budget are funded in FY 2023/24. The City is projected to receive $5,887,271 in
Measure I pass-thru funds for fiscal year 2023/24 and Exhibit A of the Resolution
indicates the way those funds have been allocated in the City’s Capital Improvement
Budget.
Changes to the MICIP during the year are permitted, subject to approval of plan
amendments by Resolution of the Mayor and City Council. SBCTA also requires the
local agencies to provide an "Expenditure Strategy", included as Exhibit B of the
Resolution.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The Measure I Five-year MICIP is consistent with Key Target No. 1d: Improved
Operational & Financial Capacity - Create a framework for spending decisions as it
reflects the most current and highest priority need for use of Measure I Funds in FY
2023/24.
Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact associated with this action. The projects listed in
the proposed Five-Year MICIP Fiscal Year 2023/24 - 2027/28 for Measure I Local
Expenditures for the City of San Bernardino have previously been identified in the
City's Capital Improvement Plan.

EXPENDITURE STRATEGY
Fiscal Year 2023/2024 to 2027/2028
The City of San Bernardino will continue to place emphasis on both its regional and sub-regional
arterial roadway system. At least fifty percent of the City's Measure I allocation will be earmarked
for specific capital projects that are geared toward improving traffic flow and motorist
convenience. Failing pavement surfaces will be rehabilitated and traffic striping modified as
needed to accommodate increased traffic demand; and intersection capacity will be improved with

Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-156:
1. Authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to record a budget
amendment from Measure S Fund balance to allocate an additional $69,183.27 to
fund the required change order to complete the 5th Street Senior Center Kitchen
Improvements (“Project”); and
2. Approving the Construction Contract Change Order with Preferred General

Public Works staff is requesting a budget amendment to be completed from Measure S
Fund balance in the amount of $69,183.27 to authorize a contract change order
including construction contingencies in the amount of $520,573.30 to Preferred General
Services.
Background
The City owns, maintains, and operates the 5th Street Senior Center. The 5th Street
Senior Center offers senior residents an array of programs. The Senior Center
programs and activities give older adults a chance to enjoy time with others, stay active
and engaged, and healthy. The Center offers meals and food delivery services to the
local senior community under the Senior Nutrition Program. These meals are prepared
in the Center Kitchen. The facility was identified as needing kitchen improvements.
On June 16, 2021, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-138
approving the FY 2021/2022 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), establishing funding for
design and construction of the 5th Street Senior Center Kitchen Improvements project.
On July 20, 2022, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-137

the Agency Director of Administrative Services to record a budget amendment from
the Measure S fund to allocate an additional $217,061 to fund the 5th Street Senior
Center Kitchen Improvements project.
Preferred General Services completed such improvements, however, the San
Bernardino County Health department required additional improvements to comply
with the Health and Safety Code. These additional improvements require a change
order.
Discussion
The contract with Preferred General Services was awarded to provide removal of
existing appliances, fiberglass reinforced paneling, electrical outlets, lighting, walk-in
freezer, epoxy flooring, scullery system and waterless food warmer.
Following a field inspection by the San Bernardino Health Department, additional
improvements were identified that must be completed in order to meet Health and
Safety Code requirements for the kitchen to become operational.
Staff negotiated a contract change order with the contractor to add the following to the
contract:
•Replacement of the existing water heater to meet the Kitchen’s energy
demand.
•Install water mixing valves in all restrooms sinks in order to prevent scalding.
•Replace T-bar acoustical panels with vinyl wrapped panels.
•Replace two compartment sinks with three compartment sinks.

Request for Council Action
Date:October 4, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Ernesto Salinas, Director of Public Works, Operations and
Maintenance
Department:Public Works
Subject:Adoption of Ordinance No. MC-1621 to Grant a Franchise
to Southern California Gas Company
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California adopt Ordinance No. MC-1621 An Ordinance of the Mayor and City
Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, granting to Southern California
Gas Company, a corporation, its successors and assigns, the right, privilege and
franchise to lay and use pipes and appurtenances for transmitting and distributing
gas for any all purposes under, along, across or upon the public streets, ways,
alleys, and places, as the same now or may hereafter exist, within said municipality.
Executive Summary:
Staff is recommending the Council take actions to grant a municipal utility franchise
agreement to Southern California Gas Company (SCG) to provide utility services.
The 20-year agreement would be effective on October 4, 2023, and expire on
October 4, 2043. Under the terms in the agreement (consistent with the California
Public Utilities Commission guidelines) SCG will pay the city a franchise fee of 2%
and relocate its facilities at no cost to the City when in conflict with public
construction projects. There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. The City
currently receives an average of $700,000 in revenue annually.
Background
In September 2003, the City entered into a 20-year franchise agreement with SCG.
Ordinance No. MC-1149 was adopted by the City Council on August 4, 2003, with
an expiration date of September 4, 2023.
In January 2023, SCG contacted City staff with a proposal to execute a new utility
franchise agreement within the incorporated City limits in accordance with Section
Packet Pg. 455
Page 2
1
6
2
4
6261 of the California Public Utilities Code. The length of the proposed franchise
spans across a 20-year term and will be effective 30 days following adoption of the
proposed Ordinance on October 4, 2023. SCG filed an application with the City
Clerk for a gas franchise and submitted a request for a license. They completed the
application in July 2023.
The City accepted the SCG’s application at the August 2, 2023 City Council meeting
and enacted the resolution of intention to grant a gas franchise, and approved the
license agreement. The license extended the terms of the existing franchise
agreement for up to 120 days, providing time for a new agreement to be completed.
On September 6, 2023, the City conducted a public hearing and introduction of the
proposed ordinance.
Discussion
A municipal utility franchise agreement is a contract between a City and a utility
service provider that includes terms and conditions under which the service provider
may install infrastructure in public rights-of-way to provide utility services.
The proposed franchise includes a 20-year term, with an effective date of October
4, 2023. The agreement allows the utility to construct, maintain and operate its
natural gas system in the City-owned public rights-of-way. In exchange, the
agreement requires SCG to pay the City gross receipts from the sale of gas, which
is a fee that is equal to the higher of:
•Two percent (2%) of the gross annual receipts of the grantee derived from
the use, operation or possession of this franchise.
•Two percent (2%) of the gross annual receipts of the grantee derived from
the sale, transmission, or distribution of gas within the limits of the City under
this franchise.
The franchise fee is determined by Public Utilities Code Section 6231 (c). The
agreement also requires SCG to relocate its facilities, at no cost to the City, when in
conflict with public construction projects. The average annual revenue generated
from this Franchise over the last 5 fiscal years is approximately $700,000.
SoCalGas rates are regulated and approved by the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC). The Current Charges on a bill are based on four components:
•Customer Charge – Based on days of service.
•Gas Transportation Cost – The cost to deliver natural gas.
•Gas Commodity – The cost of natural gas purchased by SoCalGas on behalf
of its customers.
Packet Pg. 456
Page 3

•Taxes and Fees – Includes the CPUC mandated Public Purpose Surcharge
and any state or local fees and taxes.
As currently drafted, no additional Franchise line item would be added to customers’
bills and the Utility Users Tax (UUT) will not change.
The general rule of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), is that CEQA
(California Environmental Quality Act) applies only to projects which have the
potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The planned actions
are exempt from those terms. The proposed Ordinance is not a project subject to
the California Environmental Quality Act in accordance with Section 21 065 of CEQA
and State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060 (c)(2), 15060 (c)(3), and15378.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No.4: Economic Growth & Development.
The proposed franchise is consistent with the Council's goals to maintain fiscal
responsibility and stability; to improve, maintain and enhance public facilities and
infrastructure; to support and promote the quality of life and local economy; and to
ensure public safety.
Fiscal Impact
Based on the past five years of revenue, Franchise fees are expected to generate
an annual revenue of approximately $500,000 to $1,000,000 per year for the
General Fund.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California adopt Ordinance No. MC-1621 An Ordinance of the Mayor and City
Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, granting to Southern California
Gas Company, a corporation, its successors and assigns, the right, privilege and
franchise to lay and use pipes and appurtenances for transmitting and distributing

(a) If the Grantee of this franchise shall fail, neglect or refuse to comply with any of
the provisions or conditions hereof, and shall not, within ten (10) days after written demand for

SECTION FIFTEEN
For purposes of this franchise, the City Council finds that this franchise agreement with
Packet Pg. 469
Ordinance No. MC-1621
12
3
1
8
6
Southern California Gas Company does not constitute a “project” for purposes of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et. seq.) (“CEQA”) and the State
CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.) and, therefore, does not require
environmental review. Specifically, under State CEQA Guidelines section 15378, “project” does
not include administrative activities or government fiscal activities that do not involve any
commitment to any specific project which may result in a physical change in the environment. For
purposes of this franchise agreement, the City Council further finds that even if this franchise
agreement constituted a “project” for purposes of CEQA, the project would be exempt from
environmental review under State CEQA Guidelines section 15301 (Existing Facilities), 15320
(Organization of Local Agencies), and 15061(b)(3), which exempts projects for which it can be
seen with certainty will not result in significant environmental impacts. None of the exceptions
found in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 to the use of these exemptions are present. The
City Council hereby directs staff to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk within five
(5) working days of the adoption of this Ordinance.
SECTION SIXTEEN
If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this
ordinance, or any part thereof, is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this
ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each
section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the
fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase
be declared unconstitutional or invalid. If for any reason any portion of this ordinance is found to
be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the balance of this ordinance shall not be affected.
SECTION SEVENTEEN
This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its adoption.

DISCUSSION
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:October 4, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager
Mary Lanier, Interim Agency Director of Community, Housing, and
Economic Development
Department:Community, Housing, and Economic Development
Subject:Discussion of Crushing and Grinding Operations in the City,
the Repeal of Resolution 2020-265, and a Development Code
Amendment Updating Temporary Use Permits
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Discuss the repeal of Resolution No. 2020 - 265;
2. Discuss Development Code Amendment to Section 19.70.035 (B)
(Development and Operational Standards for Temporary Use Permits – On-
site and Off-site Contractor’s Construction Yards); and
3. Provide additional direction to staff regarding the topics discussed.
Executive Summary
This report is prepared pursuant to City Council request to bring forward a
Development Code Amendment to update the Temporary Use Permit (TUP) Section
to address crushing and grinding of materials (i.e., concrete/asphalt/bedrock).
Information provided in the report provides a background of prior actions, an overview
of crushing and grinding, situations where crushing and grinding might occur,
environmental aspects, the proposed Development Code Amendment (DCA), and the
Carousel Mall demolition with crushing and grinding.

Background
The discussion and concerns about crushing and grinding arose from the placement
of construct concrete debris on the “Oxbow” property Tentative Tract Map (TPM)
16794, located on the west side of Palm, north of Verdemont Avenue (Assessor Parcel
Numbers 0261-011-08, 13, and 14). The intent expressed was to “crush and grind” the
debris onsite and use the crushed materials as fill for the proposed residential
subdivision. City and community concerns arose regarding the on-site crushing and
grinding of the materials, which prompted the approval of Resolution No. 2020-265
restricted crushing and grinding within 1,000 feet of residential, which left removal of
the materials the only option for the Oxbow property (TPM 16794).
On October 21, 2020, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-265
(Attachment 1). The adoption of the Resolution is an result of the import of construction
materials including concrete onto a property site, located at the which articulated the
following:
•Stockpiles of building materials shall only be permitted in conjunction with
the issuance by the City of a grading permit or building permit.
•Stockpiles of building materials shall consist only of finished materials ready
for grading or construction.
•No Temporary Use Permit (TUP) may be issued to permit the crushing or
grinding of unfinished, raw materials such as rock, concrete, or similar at a
residentially zoned site or in any other zone within 1,000 feet of a
residentially zoned property.
•If a TUP is issued permitting the crushing or grinding of unfinished, raw
materials such as rock, concrete, or similar, City staff shall condition the
TUP in such a manner to address public health, safety, and welfare. Such
conditions shall, among others, address dust mitigation, noise mitigation,
site security, and compliance with all applicable air quality and water quality
standards.
On September 13, 2022, based on City Council direction, the Planning Commission
considered an amendment to Section 19.70.035 (B) (Development and Operational
Standards for Temporary Use Permits – On-site and Off-site Contractor’s Construction
Yards) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (Title 19) regarding stockpiles
and material crushing and grinding, with additional modifications proposed by staff.
Staff identified a need to allow on-site crushing on a limited basis at the properties
approved for development within 1,000 feet of residentially zoned properties if it can
be demonstrated through physical or operational means that the potential community
impacts are reduced or eliminated or that it is less invasive than other options for
material processing.
The Planning Commission expressed concerns about the proposed amendment
related to the impacts of on-site material crushing. Concerns were related to dust,
noise, water quality, and operational conditions of crushing activities when in close

proximity to existing residential or other sensitive receptors, such as schools. The item
was continued off-calendar.
On October 11, 2022, the Planning Commission held a workshop to discuss proposed
amendments. Staff summarized the on-site crushing regulations from other cities and
discussed dust control measures and typical noise levels for mobile crushing
equipment. Following the discussion, the Planning Commission directed staff to
include the amendments for consideration at the November 8, 2022, Planning
Commission meeting.
On November 8, 2022, the Planning Commission considered the proposed
amendments with the additional changes based on their feedback. Following
discussion, the Planning Commission continued the item until after the results of the
Mayoral election of November 8, 2022, were completed.
On December 13, 2022, the Planning Commission again considered the proposed
amendments with the additional refinements made based upon Planning Commission
guidance at the November 8, 2022, hearing. Following discussion, the Planning
Commission directed staff to revise the language to require Planning Commission
approval for all Temporary Use Permits for on-site crushing and continued the item to
January 10, 2023, Public hearing.
On January 10, 2023, the Planning Commission Denied Development Code
Amendment 22-06, a City-initiated amendment to Chapter 19.31 (Administration) and
Section 19.70.035 (B) (Development and Operating Standards for Temporary Use
Permits - On-site and Off-site Contractors’ Construction Yards) of the City of San
Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) to update the Temporary Use Permits
Development and Operational standards for On-site and Off-site Contractors’
Construction Yards with regard to stockpiles and material crushing (Attachment 2
January 10, 2023, Planning Commission Staff Report).
On February 1, 2023, under the “Items to be Considered for Future Meetings”, the
Mayor and City Council, by majority vote, directed staff to prepare a staff report so that
the Mayor and City Council could consider the possible repeal of Resolution No. 2020-
265 and the possible issuance of a written notice directing the Planning Commission,
in accordance with Government Code Section 65853, to render within 40 days its
report on crushing restrictions of unfinished materials within 1,000 feet of residentially
zoned property.
On March 14, 2023, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2023-007,
forwarding a recommendation that the Mayor and City Council maintain the status quo
regarding existing regulations for on-site material crushing or grinding of unfinished
materials and deny any amendments to the Development Code to allow on-site
crushing or grinding of unfinished materials within 1,000 feet of residentially zoned
properties, in its entirety, based on public health, safety, and welfare concerns

expressed during deliberation (Attachment 3 March 14, 2023, Planning Commission
Staff Report and Resolution 2023-007).
Since this time, the City initiated the demolition of the Carousel Mall. The onsite
crushing and grinding operation for the Carousel Mall is in compliance with the
Resolution, as it is not within 1,000 feet of residential and is surrounded by commercial
uses.
Discussion
Introduction
The discussion section provides an overview of what crushing and grinding is,
equipment used, crushing and grinding materials versus removal, and the
environmental impacts. This report relies on information from staff research, projects
completed in other cities, and an independent analysis prepared by UltraSystems
Environmental Inc.
The remaining items include the City of San Bernardino process (referenced), the
Proposed Development Code Amendment, and an overview of the Legalities of the
Carousel Mall.
Discussion of the Oxbow property is not included in this report, as the intent was to
obtain the Mayor and City Council direction on crushing and grinding first. Then bring
back a site specific with anticipated removal costs at a future meeting. However, staff
is prepared to respond to questions.
Crushing and Grinding
Crushing is the process in which large pieces of aggregate are converted into smaller
pieces, typically resulting in a coarse product. Grinding, however, involves the
processing of coarse product into a smaller, finer product. Crushing and grinding
operations for construction and demolition involve the use of heavy-duty machinery to
crush and grind concrete, rock, asphalt, and other materials into smaller pieces that
can be reused or recycled. The process typically involves the following steps:
1. Site Preparation: The construction or demolition site is cleared of any debris or
obstacles to create a suitable area for the crushing and grinding operation.
2. Crushing: Large pieces of concrete, rock, asphalt, or other materials are crushed
using heavy-duty equipment such as jaw crushers or cone crushers. This breaks
the material down into smaller pieces that can be further processed.
3. Sorting: After the initial crushing process, the materials are sorted by size and
quality. Materials that are not suitable for reuse or recycling are separated and
disposed of properly.
4. Grinding: The smaller pieces of materials are further ground down into even
smaller particles using equipment such as ball mills or vertical roller mills.
5. Screening: The ground materials are then screened to remove any unwanted
particles and to ensure that they meet the desired specifications for reuse or
Packet Pg. 493

recycling.
6. Reuse or recycling: The crushed and ground materials can be used as a base
material for new construction projects or as a component in new construction
materials such as recycled concrete or asphalt.
A concrete crusher makes the removal, disposal, and recycling of concrete much safer,
more efficient, and more manageable. Once materials are crushed/ground, they can
also be used on-site to mix with the natural soil and worked/graded back into the
project site for development.
When are Crushing and Grinding Operations Used?
Bedrock
During project development, geotechnical analysis and reports are prepared, which
determine what foundations are needed for development projects. Depending on the
soil type at the project site, there may be bedrock that would need removal in order to
construct those foundations. Removal of bedrock would be performed by blasting,
machine, equipment, hand chisel, etc. Blasting requires additional permits. Depending
on the method, large chunks of bedrock could remain on the project site. Crushing and
grinding that material could be considered for the project.
Bedrock is a natural formation that occurs throughout California. There are limited
locations where bedrock can be found in the City. So, the potential for crushing and
grinding or removal would be in limited locations. Bedrock outcrops occur primarily
along the City's upsloping northern boundary with the San Bernardino Mountains and
in the northern central part of the city as isolated outcrops, with bedrock type and
occurrence split by the San Andreas Fault. To the south and away from the San Gabriel
and San Bernardino Mountains, and throughout much of the city, the shallow
subsurface is predominantly comprised of Quaternary alluvial sediments (see
Attachment 5 Location Map for Bedrock).
Structure Demolition
Factors that determine the best options for addressing the removal of construction
materials from a site are the size of the site, the type of material being removed, the
cost, and environmental considerations. Smaller projects, such as single-family
homes, commercial and industrial wood-frame buildings, and smaller concrete
buildings (i.e., 10,000 square feet), would likely be demolished and sent to a disposal
facility.
Larger buildings, such as a regional mall, 100,000 square foot building, road projects,
and bridge removal, would likely have crushing and grinding on-site. The crushed
materials would then be either reused on-site or hauled off. Crushing and grinding on-
site could be the most cost-effective option especially when the ground materials can
be reused in the grading as fill or new project construction, and more importantly, the
least environmentally impactful option.
Disposition of Construction Materials
Packet Pg. 494

5

6
The rising cost of landfills for construction, demolition, and land-clearing debris
triggered the need for an alternative means of disposing of concrete from construction
and demolition operations. Prior to environmental awareness, rubble was massively
disposed of in landfills. With more awareness about the environment,
concrete/materials recycling allows the reuse of rubble which in turn drastically lowers
construction costs.
Recycling crushed concrete is important as it reduces waste significantly. Most of the
impact is invisible but over time, transportation costs, fuel usage, wear and
maintenance of the transportation roadway, additional greenhouse gas emission, and
use of raw materials take their toll. With construction being an ongoing process around
the world, these elements add up to big challenges.
Recycling is our society’s best way of reducing waste – and concrete is no different
from cans, plastics, and paper. It can be used again. Currently Cal Recycle requires
65% of the construction waste materials to be recycled and the recycling requirement
is expected to increase in the future.
When removing bedrock, demolishing, redeveloping, or renovating a site, disposing of
used construction materials is a key phase that is often overlooked. After the demolition
team has finished toppling concrete structures, excavating foundations, and digging
up floors, all that material must go somewhere.
Crushing and Grinding Versus Removal
When would you have crushing and grinding on-site, and when would materials be
removed? Prior to the demolition of a structure or large paved surface, an analysis of
the removal and disposal of the materials is completed. An analysis would normally
occur when reviewing a proposed project at entitlement, during the grading plan review
process, demolition permit, and stockpile phase. While the cost for the owner is a factor
in a decision on whether to remove the final materials or re-use them on-site,
environmental factors must also be considered and can outweigh cost considerations.
One of the main environmental factors/impacts is air quality. While crushing and
grinding have some air quality impacts due to dust and GHG emissions, the truck trips
generated with the removal are greater. For this reason, there are times when crushing
and grinding on-site is the most effective option. Noise is another factor/impact and
can occur with on-site crushing machines and truck loading, unloading, and driving.
The Independent Analysis reference environmental impacts and some air quality and
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) analysis.
Environmental Impacts
When analyzing onsite crushing and grinding versus removal, environmental impacts
and mitigation play a major role. The analysis is what option has the least
environmental impact and what mitigations measures are needed to address those
impacts.

On-site Crushing and Grinding
On-site crushing and grinding may be the best option by:
•Reducing transportation costs by processing materials on-site.
•Reusing the crushed materials on-site.
•Reducing the need for new virgin materials.
•Reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills.
•Reducing roadway wear and maintenance,
•Reducing GHG, through the reduction of truck trips.
Removal of Materials
The removal of the materials may be a better option for smaller projects where
structures can be demolished, and the debris trucked off the project site. In these
cases, the materials may not be needed for a new project and therefore removal is the
best option. Cost is a factor and bringing in equipment to crush and grind may be cost
prohibitive for smaller sites. Environmentally, the removal may be less impactful with
the removal when considering the number of truck trips, emissions, dust, vibration, etc.
However, it is important to ensure that the crushing and grinding operations or debris
removal are carried out safely and in compliance with any relevant regulations and
standards.
Environmental Review
The following areas of potential impact should be analyzed for either on-site operations
or removal.
Noise - On-site crushing and grinding operations can generate high levels of noise
due to the use of heavy machinery such as crushers, grinders, and loaders. The
noise levels can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of equipment
used, the size and hardness of the materials being processed, and the location of
the operation.
Removal of debris will also result in noise impacts with the loading equipment,
loading debris into semi-trucks, and the movement of the materials on-site.
It is important to note that noise levels can vary significantly based on the type of
equipment used, the size of the operation, and the characteristics of the
surrounding environment. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct a noise
assessment to determine the actual noise levels and to implement appropriate
measures to minimize the impact of noise on neighboring communities, such as
installing noise barriers or scheduling work during appropriate times to minimize
exposure.
Air Quality – Potential air quality environmental impacts include equipment
emissions and fugitive dust. Production and hauling equipment are the primary air
quality impacts. Dust, if not adequately mitigated, is also a concern.
Packet Pg. 496
1
5

Protecting the workers and surrounding community from dust and emissions is
important to include in an analysis. To address these concerns, it is recommended
to conduct an air quality study to evaluate the emission and dust impacts and have
the appropriate mitigation measures. The crushing equipment is typically equipped
with water spraying mechanisms to keep the crushing operation in a wet condition
and minimize fugitive dust. The crushed material stockpile can also be managed
by regular wetting and covering to minimize fugitive dust.
Water Quality – The State has requirements for Best Management Practices
(BMPs) for construction sites. Cities also is tasked to ensure that those BMPs are
being implemented and address any potential runoff and drainage. A Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) by a certified Qualified SWPPP Developer
(QSD).
Crushing and grinding operations to break down large-scale debris on-site, occurs
throughout communities through regular business operations. If part of a new project
the demolition (including crushing and grinding) would be address in through a
document prepared under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). If not, it
would be included in either a temporary use permit process (i.e., contractors storage
yard) or a demolition permit through a building department.
In many cases, the demolition of former mall buildings are considered with the plans
for redevelopment of the property. Redevelopment of the properties include the
development and analysis of master plan, infrastructure, grading, the demolition, and
preparation of a CEQA document. Most recent mall redevelopment projects include
Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) that would analyze the demolition portion, as
well as the future site development, and provide the appropriate mitigation measures.
Crushing and Grinding Operations and Permitting
Crushing and grinding of materials or removal of demolition debris are normally
handled through cities’ permit processes. Those permits could include demolition,
blasting, and hauling permits, and in some cases, temporary use permits.
Other agencies could also require permits, for example the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD). Cities do not regulate those permits.
For crushing and grinding operations, most of these operations occur on site, due to
the magnitude of the demolition and the equipment used. Most demolitions are
required as a result of a new structure being built, including new buildings, roads, and
bridges. In these cases, the demolition and removal of materials or on-site crushing
and grinding are analyzed in the CEQA document.
Permits for stand-alone building demolition, when not part of a new development, are
normally ministerial. Therefore, a full environmental analysis is not always required.
Surrounding cities vary in the requirement of on-site crushing and grinding and whether
Packet Pg. 497
1
5

it is explicitly included in their development codes. This is likely because on-site
crushing and grinding operations occur on a limited basis, primarily for demolition of
old buildings, like regional malls making way for redevelopment and roadway/bridge
demolition and construction completed for the most part by the California Department
of Transportation (Caltrans).
As older concrete buildings decline and redevelopment starts to occur, on-site crushing
and grinding is becoming more common. Many cities do not have specific regulations,
therefore addressing the demolition and on-site work may be reviewed and approved
on a case-by-case basis. Several cities do have requirements in their municipal codes
and the proposed TUP Ordinance includes similar provisions.
The Independent Analysis includes examples of demolitions with on-site crushing and
grinding operations and information on City processes.
Independent Analysis
The Public Works Department solicited proposals to review crushing and grinding and
how other communities address on-site crushing and grinding. UltraSystems
Environmental Inc. was selected to prepare the independent analysis report for its
extensive corporate experience in the environmental field. The report, Independent
Analysis of Crushing Operations, and findings are in Attachment 4.
This report includes data from an independent analysis of when onsite crushing and
grinding or removal can be the least environmentally impactful option.
During the presentation of the report and independent analysis, staff has also invited
an expert in air quality, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, health risk, and noise from
MD Acoustics to be available at the City Council to provide additional information
respond to questions.
City of San Bernardino Processes in Place for Crushing and Grinding
Resolution 2020-265 outlines the City’s current process.
Proposed Development Code Amendment
To address on-site and off-site construction yards with on-site material crushing, a
proposed Development Code Amendment (DCA) was written and presented to the
Planning Commission. The Planning Commission voted not to adopt it and maintain
the status quo with Resolution 2020-265.
The proposed DCA created a specific Temporary Use Permit section that addresses
on-site and off-site contractor construction yards and includes provisions for on-site
material crushing and grinding. The proposed DCA is included in Attachment 6. Staff
recommends that the City Council review the DCA and provide direction to staff to
either take it back to the Planning Commission for a recommendation to City Council
or for staff to finalize the DCA per City Council direction and bring it back for adoption.

Legalities of the Carousel Mall
The determination of the demolition of the former Carousel Mall pursuant to Section
15.37.040 of the Municipal Code was made on October 26, 2022, by the Agency
Director of Community, Housing, and Economic Development (Attachment 7). The
determination was made because, despite continuous attempts to secure the building,
the former Mall has become an attractive nuisance, with many individuals trespassing
on the property and entering the building, resulting in significant vandalism, destruction
of interior spaces, and creating an unsafe environment and criminal activities.
The Notice of Exemption (NOE) was filed on February 13, 2023 (Attachment 8). The
NOE states that approval of the Contract is exempt from environmental review
pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15268 (a) for Ministerial Projects. The
Contract underwent a Ministerial Review process, and no discretionary Demolition
Permit was required for the Contract pursuant to San Bernardino Municipal Code
Section 15.37.040. The determination that the Contract did not require a discretionary
Demolition Permit because it involved no discretionary judgment by the City of San
Bernardino and involved only the use of fixed and objective standards rather than
subjective decision-making.
Further, the Contract is exempt pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15269
(Emergency Projects), as it is necessary to prevent a public health and safety
emergency. Given the Carousel Mall building's structural damage caused by
vandalism and fire damage, the building is unsafe and constitutes an imminent threat
to the health and safety of the public.
The demolition scope includes the demolition and the disposition of the materials,
which would include the removal of items and on-site crushing. The demolition is
currently underway, with the interior removal of hazardous materials and the demolition
of some buildings. On-site crushing and grinding are scheduled to begin in October
2023 and is estimated to take about 30-working days to complete the crushing and
grinding operation.
There are no proposed development plans for the Carousel Mall site. As noted
previously, the need for the demolition was approved to move forward due to the public
health and safety emergency.
In conclusion, there are two options for addressing largescale concrete, rock, asphalt
and other hard material on properties:
•Remove materials from the property; or
•Crush and grind on-site.
The option considered should be based on sound analysis of air quality, GHG, noise,
and vibration impacts.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Planning Commission Action
Date: March 14, 2023
To: Honorable Chairperson and Planning Commissioners
From: David Murray, Deputy Director/City Planner
Subject: Development Code Amendment 22-06
(Temporary Use Permits – All Wards)
Applicant
City of San Bernardino – Community and Economic Development Department
201 North E Street, 3rd Floor
San Bernardino, CA 92401
Request
A City-initiated amendment to Chapter 19.31 (Administration) and Section 19.70.035 (B)
(Development and Operating Standards for Temporary Use Permits - On-site and Off-site
Contractors’ Construction Yards) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code
(SBMC Title 19) to update the standards for Temporary Use Permits.
Recommendation
The Planning Division of the Community and Economic Development Department
recommends that the Planning Commission take the following action ratifying its decision
on January 10, 2023 to maintain the status quo when it comes to the regulations for on-
site material crushing, and deny the proposed Development Code Amendment:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 2023-007 of the Planning Commission of the City of
San Bernardino, California, forwarding a recommendation that the Mayor and
City Council maintain the status quo regarding regulations for on-site material
crushing and further recommending denial of Development Code Amendment
22-06 amending Chapter 19.31 (Administration) and Section 19.70.035 (B)
(Development and Operating Standards for Temporary Use Permits - On-site
and Off-site Contractors’ Construction Yards) of the City of San Bernardino
Municipal Code (Title 19) (Attachment A).
Background
On January 10, 2023, following public testimony, the Planning Commission deliberated
on proposed Development Code Amendment 22-06 and raised a number of concerns
and questions. Specifically, in considering the language outlining the permitting process
Packet Pg. 527
and application requirements for on-site crushing activities in conjunction with an active
building permit or grading permit, the Planning Commission:
Questioned the need to allow for on-site crushing;
Questioned the benefit to the City to allow for on-site crushing;
Expressed concerns about the City’s handling of specific problem properties in
the past;
Identified a lack of City staffing and expertise to manage and enforce the
permits; and
Expressed concerns about potential health risks of airborne crystalline silica as
a result from on-site crushing, pointing to reports from the National Institute for
Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH).
After closing the public hearing, Commissioner Lewis moved and Commissioner Flores
seconded forwarding a recommendation that the Mayor and City Council maintain the
status quo when it comes to the regulations for on-site material crushing and deny
Development Code Amendment 22-06 in its entirety based on public health, safety, and
welfare concerns expressed during the deliberation. The motion passed by the following
vote:
Ayes: Guerrero, Lopez, Quiel, Flores, Armstead, Lewis and Morales
Nays: None
Absent: Garcia
This item does not require a new action other than the adoption of Resolution No. 2023-
007, which ratifies the decision the Planning Commission took on January 10, 2023 to
deny Development Code Amendment 22-06. Given that Resolution No. 2023-007 was
presented to the Planning Commission on January 10, 2023 with findings for approval of
Development Code Amendment 22-06, the Resolution has been revised to ratify the
Planning Commission’s decision to deny Development Code Amendment 22-06 by
including findings for denial, which are found in Section 3 of Resolution No. 2023-007
(Attachment A).
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The denial of Development Code Amendment 22-06 is not a project within the meaning
of Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting
in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. Additionally, pursuant to
Section 15270(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, “CEQA does not apply to projects which a
public agency rejects or disapproves.” Therefore, based upon the action of the Planning
Commission, CEQA does not apply to the denial of Development Code 22-06.
Packet Pg. 528
Conclusion
Based upon the Planning Commission’s action on January 10, 2023, staff recommends
that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2023-007 forwarding its
recommendation of maintaining status quo and further recommending denial of
Development Code Amendment 22-06 to the Mayor and City Council.

WHEREAS, on January 10, 2023, pursuant to the requirements of Section 19.52.040
(Hearings and Appeals – Hearing Procedures) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code,
the Planning Commission held the duly noticed public hearing at which interested persons had an
opportunity to testify in support of, or opposition to Development Code Amendment 22-06, and at
which meeting, the Planning Commission considered Development Code Amendment 22-06; and
WHEREAS, at the January 10, 2023 Planning Commission hearing, after public
testimony, the Planning Commission deliberated on the proposed Development Code Amendment,
recommended maintaining the status quo, and recommended denying the Development Code
Amendment in its entirety based on the following concerns and questions:
In considering staff’s recommended language outlining the permitting process and
application requirements for on-site crushing activities in conjunction with an active
building permit or grading permit, the Planning Commission questioned the need to
allow for on-site crushing, did not identify a benefit to the City, expressed concerns
about the City’s handling of specific problem properties in the past, identified a lack of
City staffing and expertise to manage and enforce the permits, and expressed concerns
about potential health risks of airborne crystalline silica as a result from on-site
crushing; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission must now ratify the decision it took on January 10,
2023 in the form of this Resolution which includes findings for denial; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the requirements of Section 19.42.030 (Development Code
Amendments – Commission Action on Amendments) of the City of San Bernardino Development
Code, the Planning Commission has the authority to recommend to the Mayor and City Council
the approval of the Development Code Amendment 22-06.
NOW THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of San Bernardino does
hereby resolve, determine, find, and order as follows:

SECTION 1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS:
The recitals above are true and correct and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
As the decision-making body for the project, the Planning Commission has reviewed and
considered the information contained in the administrative record for Development Code
Amendment 22-06. Based upon the facts and information contained in the administrative record,
including all written and oral evidence presented to the Planning Commission, the Planning
Commission hereby recommends to the Mayor and City Council, as follows:
(1) The administrative record has been completed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Local CEQA
Guidelines;
(2) The denial of Development Code Amendment 22-06 is not a project within the meaning
of Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical
change in the environment, directly or indirectly. Additionally, pursuant to Section 15270(a) of
the CEQA Guidelines, “CEQA does not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or
disapproves.” Therefore, based upon the action of the Planning Commission, CEQA does not
apply to the denial of Development Code 22-06.; and
(3) The determination of CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgment of the
Planning Commission.
SECTION 3. FINDINGS FOR DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 22-06:
Section 19.42.050 (Findings) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code requires that
Development Code Amendments meet certain findings prior to approval by the Mayor and City
Council. Accordingly, the following findings are provided for denial of Development Code
Amendment 22-06:
Finding No. 1: The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan.
Finding of Fact: Development Code Amendment 22-06 is not consistent with the General
Plan, for the following reasons:
Land Use Goal 2.2: Promote development that integrates
with and minimizes impacts on surrounding land uses.
The adoption and implementation of Development Code
Amendment 22-06 establishes and expands the operational
standards for temporary contractor’s construction yards related to
stockpiling, limited on-site grinding of raw unfinished materials on
a project site, and other applicable permit approvals, which would
reduce the amount of construction-related truck hauling trips
Packet Pg. 533
RESOLUTION NO. 2023-007-PC

necessary to transport materials to and from the project site and in
turn reduces vehicle miles traveled and traffic congestion, but may
result in acute, localized air quality impacts on surrounding
properties, potentially affecting the health and safety of residents if
not operated, regulated, or enforced adequately. Due to these
concerns, Development Code Amendment 22-06 is not consistent
with the General Plan.
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: Although the adoption and implementation of Development Code
Amendment 22-06 provide a detailed permitting and regulatory framework
intended to reduce the impacts associated with On-site and Off-site
Contractors Construction Yards, allowing a process to conduct on-site
material crushing, even with proper mitigation, may still result in potential
adverse health, safety and welfare impacts. Thus, the proposed amendment
would be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience,
and/or welfare of the City.
SECTION 4. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The Planning Commission hereby takes the following action:
a.Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 2023-007 forwarding a recommendation that
the Mayor and City Council maintain the status quo regarding regulations for on-site
material crushing, and:
a.Deny: Development Code Amendment 22-06 based on the Findings of Fact.
SECTION 5. 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.
SECTION 6. CUSTODIAN OF RECORDS:
The location and custodian of the documents and any other material, which constitute the record
of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission based its decision, is as follows: Genoveva
Rocha, City Clerk, 201 North E Street (Building A), 909-384-5002.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 14th day of March 2023.

EXECUTIVEꢀSUMMARYꢀ
INTRODUCTIONꢀ
The City of San Bernardino has had to make decisions recently on approving projects that could
involve onsite crushing of demolition materials and native rock in order to prepare sites for grading
and construction. The objective of this study is to provide the City with comprehensive information
regarding crushing processes, environmental impacts, regulations and the potential for onsite rock
crushing during future construction projects.
POTENTIALꢀFORꢀROCKꢀORꢀCONCRETEꢀCRUSHINGꢀ
The report identifies and describes the potential need for onsite rock crushing within the City of San
Bernardino corporate limits in the future. Isolated bedrock outcrops within the San Bernardino City
limits occur primarily along the city's upsloping northern boundary with the San Bernardino
Mountains and in the northern central part of the city. Bedrock types and occurrence differ on each
side of the San Andreas Fault. A map outlining areas of outcrops was developed. Land use developers
and City reviewers can use the map to determine the potential of a particular site for native rock
issues. Foreknowledge of these issues can help plan the scope of site-specific geological and
geotechnical studies. Cost estimators will know that they will have to account for removal or onsite
rock reduction.
EXAMPLESꢀOFꢀONSITEꢀCRUSHINGꢀOPERATIONSꢀINꢀSOUTHERNꢀCALIFORNIAꢀ
Seven major projects throughout Southern California were reviewed to establish the environmental
and regulatory issues associated with concrete and rock crushing at construction sites in the region.
OntarioꢀGrandꢀPark in the City of Ontario began construction on its 370-acre site in October
2022. After clearing the site of relatively easily removable waste and debris, demolition work
began with breaking up large slabs of asphalt and concrete that would fit into a rock crusher.
During demolition, there were no complaints from nearby sensitive receptors, most likely
due to their distance from the construction site as well as appropriate operating hours for the
crushing activity. Approximately 96,000 tons were crushed into two large onsite piles
reaching 30 feet in height. Plans call for reuse of 95 percent of the crushed aggregate as a base
for the Grand Park.
LagunaꢀHillsꢀMall, a former regional shopping mall on a 68-acre site adjacent to the I-5
freeway in the City of Laguna Hills, is being demolished to make way for a new mixed-use
development. While there were no sensitive receptors near the site in the City, residents in
Lake Forest (across the freeway) complained about noise, but concurrent Caltrans work on
the I-5 may have been responsible for those complaints. Full demolition will involve crushing
of 34,342 tons of concrete and 63,031 tons of asphalt, all of which will be reused onsite. The
project required a Precise Plan permit process.
Fanitaꢀ Ranch, a 2,638-acre master planned community in the Santee area of San Diego
County, borders existing residential neighborhoods on the south and east. Materials crushed
onsite include rock, dense to very dense sandy gravel, cobble and boulders. The product of
the onsite crushing operation will be used onsite. While there may be potential air quality

ꢀINDEPENDENTꢀANALYSISꢀOFꢀCRUSHINGꢀOPERATIONSꢀꢀ
and noise impacts from the crushing operation, the onsite crushing operation will comply
with the City's noise standards and regional air quality standards.
HallmarkꢀTownhomes in San Marcos proposes 151 multifamily residential units on a 10.56-
acre site. The onsite crusher would be located approximately 500 feet from the nearest
sensitive receptors. Depending on staging location, noise levels resulting from rock crushing
operations and potentially from a rock drill would exceed City standards.
HarvestꢀHills is a proposed 550-unit single-family residential development in the Escondido
area of San Diego County. Two large residential communities, as well as the San Diego Zoo
Safari Park, are nearby. Development of the site will involve rock crushing, which will occur
at a minimum of 500 feet from an existing residence.
TheꢀUniversityꢀOfficeꢀandꢀMedicalꢀParkꢀwas proposed as an 87-acre mixed use project near
California State University San Marcos in San Diego County. On the northeastern portion of
the project site were granitic and volcanic rock outcrops. This material needed to be removed
to allow grading and other construction activities. The plan was to blast the rock formations
and then crush the debris with onsite portable equipment. The EIR concluded that noise
exposures would be less than significant during construction. The project was never built. A
residential project is under construction on approximately the same site. Construction has
included blasting, but we have no information on rock crushing there.
TheꢀBouldersꢀProject in Menifee (Riverside County) is a 10.14-acre mixed use development
under construction on a site that has numerous unweathered granitic boulders up to 20 feet
in diameter. The project will use two pneumatic hammers and two onsite rock crushers to
remove boulders and bedrock. These devices were estimated to be responsible for less than
four percent of the total construction noise exposure at sensitive receivers.
REGULATORYꢀREQUIREMENTSꢀ
AirꢀQualityꢀ
Concrete and rock crushing results in the potential release of significant quantities of two types of
particulate matter. Both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the California Air
Resources Board (ARB) have established health-based standards for PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations
in ambient air.1 The City of San Bernardino is in the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB), which is in
nonattainment (in violation) of the California standards for both particulate pollutants. Equipment
that runs on electricity from power connections emits only particulate matter. However, if the
electricity is from an onsite generator that burns fossil fuel, or if the crushing equipment is powered
by an integrally-configured diesel engine, then other pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon
monoxide (CO), and reactive organic carbon (ROG) are also emitted.
Under the California Air Resources Board's Portable Equipment Registration Program (PERP),
normally any piece of equipment that emits air pollutants needs to have a permit to operate from the
1 PM stands for particulate matter, which includes dusts and aerosols. PM10, also known as “respirable particulate
matter,” is PM with an average aerodynamic diameter of 10 micrometers or less, which is small enough to enter the
lungs. PM2.5, also known as "fine particulate matter,” is PM with an average aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 micrometers
or less, which can remain deep in the longs for extended periods; it also can carry on its surface toxic gases and
particles.

local or regional air pollution control agency, unless it is specifically exempted. For rock or concrete
crushing units that are self-propelled, the engine that provides motive power is not registered under
PERP, and does not require a SCAQMD permit, but is nevertheless subject to ARB offroad mobile
source regulations.
The SCAQMD has an extensive set of rules for controlling air pollutant emissions. These rules apply
whether or not permits are required for emission sources. Rule 401 (Visible Emissions) prohibits
anyone from discharging to the atmosphere from a single source any air contaminant that, for an
aggregated three minutes in any hour, is darker than No. 1 on the Ringelmann Chart or that obscures
the observer's view as much as or more than does smoke. Rule 402 (Nuisance) states that "A person
shall not discharge from any source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other material
which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to
the public, or which endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety of any such persons or the public,
or which cause, or have a natural tendency to cause, injury or damage to business or property." Rule
403 (Fugitive Dust) is a voluminous and complex rule whose purpose is to reduce the amount of
particulate matter entrained in the ambient air as a result of anthropogenic (man-made) fugitive dust
sources by requiring actions to prevent, reduce or mitigate fugitive dust emissions. Although most of
the provisions of Rule 1157 (PM10 Emission Reductions from Aggregate and Related Operations)
concern activities at stationary sources, such as rock quarries, it also applies to portable onsite rock
crushing operations.
Noiseꢀ
The City of San Bernardino Municipal Code has only a few provisions covering construction noise,
and none specifically related to concrete or rock crushing. All internal combustion equipment,
including construction equipment, is required to having a silencing muffler.
Waterꢀ
Federalꢀ
Unless a property to be developed is adjacent to a water body or has one running through it, use of
onsite rock crushing would not require federal permits under §§ 401 or 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA). However, § 402 of the CWA requires that projects that disturb one or more acres of soil or
disturb less than one acre but are part of a larger common plan of development that in total disturbs
one or more acres, to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. In
California, to which the USEPA has delegated partial authority for administering the NPDES, the
developer must obtain coverage under the General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated
with Construction Activity: Construction General Permit. The Construction General Permit requires
the development of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) by a certified Qualified SWPPP
Developer (QSD).
MS4ꢀPermitꢀ
The City and County of San Bernardino are signatories to the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and Waste Discharge Requirements for the San Bernardino
County Flood Control District, the County of San Bernardino, and the Incorporated Cities of San
Bernardino County within the Santa Ana Region Area-Wide Urban Storm Water Runoff Management
Program, regulates the discharge of pollutants into waters of the U.S. by way of stormwater and urban
runoff drainage systems, including flood control facilities. In this context, the NPDES Permit is also

referred to as an MS4 permit. Pursuant to the MS4 permit, Principal Permittees and Permittees must
regulate discharges of pollutants in urban runoff from man-made sources into storm drains within
their jurisdiction.
CityꢀofꢀSanꢀBernardinoꢀ
The City of San Bernardino has some Municipal Code sections devoted to water quality.
§ꢀ8.80.101 essentially recognizes that the City is subject to the requirements of its MS4 permit, as
described above.
§ꢀSectionꢀ8.80.103(34)(g) defines one type of pollutant as "substances having a pH less than 6.5 or
greater than 8.5, or unusual coloration, turbidity or odor." Thus concrete waste, with its high pH,
would be defined as a pollutant.
The City of San Bernardino City Engineer is responsible for the administration, implementation, and
enforcement of the provisions of § 8.80, which applies to all dischargers, including commercial,
industrial, and construction enterprises, to the City's stormwater drainage system (§ 8.80.201 and §
8.80.202). Prior to the issuance of any grading or building permit, all qualifying land
development/redevelopment projects, shall submit and have approved a Storm Water Quality
Management Plan (SWQMP) to the City Engineer on a form provided by the City.
CityꢀResolutionꢀonꢀTemporaryꢀUseꢀPermitsꢀ
On October 21, 2020, the San Bernardino City Council adopted Resolution 2020-265 to provide
clarification and guidance on the issuance of temporary use permits under Municipal Code
§19.70.020(2). According to the Resolution, §19.70.020 permits developer to use the site of an
approved development project for storage of finished construction materials in the immediate runup
to and during the construction of the project. To the best of our knowledge, this resolution is still in
force.
REVIEWꢀOFꢀROCKꢀCRUSHINGꢀEQUIPMENTꢀ
A fairly small number of equipment types are common to most onsite rock crushing processes.
Primaryꢀcrushers are used in the initial stage of crushing operations to break down blasted
material or natural rock to sizes that can be transferred to and processed in secondary
crushers.
A grizzly is a device that separates feed material by size.
Jawꢀ crushers are durable, blunt instruments typically used in the primary stage of rock
crushing.
Gyratoryꢀcrushers are typically used in the primary stage of rock crushing but they can also
be used in the secondary stage.
Coneꢀ crushersꢀ use compression to break down material similar to jaw and gyratory
crushers, and they are common for both primary and secondary crushing.
Impactꢀcrushers are very versatile and can handle different types of soft, medium, and hard
materials including steel and asphalt.
Secondaryꢀ crushing is performed after primary crushing and further reduces aggregate
material into smaller particles ready for tertiary or quaternary crushing stages.
Rollꢀcrushers can be used for secondary and tertiary crushing stages.

ꢀINDEPENDENTꢀANALYSISꢀOFꢀCRUSHINGꢀOPERATIONSꢀꢀ
Hammerꢀmills, which can be used for secondary and tertiary crushing stages, have hammers
rotating at high speeds to pulverize material.
Verticalꢀshaftꢀimpactors can be used for secondary and tertiary crushing stages.
Tertiaryꢀandꢀquaternaryꢀcrushing stages, or the third and fourth stages, follow primary
and secondary crushing for fine sizing of particles.
ConcreteꢀandꢀRockꢀCrushingꢀProcessꢀ
The rock crushing process includes a series of steps that reduce large-sized rocks and demolition
debris into successively smaller-size particles, ultimately producing fine material (smaller rocks,
gravel or rock dust) that can be re-used for a number of purposes.
RecentꢀDevelopmentsꢀinꢀConcreteꢀandꢀRockꢀCrushing
Mobile rock crushers are becoming increasingly popular in the construction and mining industries
due to their mobility, efficiency and versatility.
AirꢀEmissionsꢀandꢀControlsꢀ
The main rock crushing air pollutants of concern in the SCAB are PM10 and PM2.5. A substantial
portion of the total emissions consists of large, heavy particles that settle out onsite and are not
directly emitted to the atmosphere. The main methods of controlling particulate emissions from rock
crushing are (1) water spraying at various points in the processing and (2) enclosing equipment and
directing emissions to a baghouse.
A fairly large rock crushing operation of 1,000 tons per day produces PM10 and PM2.5 emissions that
are far below the SCAQMD's thresholds for significance under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA).
NoiseꢀEmissionsꢀandꢀControlsꢀ
For a previous project, UltraSystems reviewed the results of five sets of field measurements of noise
from rock crushing operations. The mean and 95th percentile values for this data set were 87.4 and
88.9 dBA, respectively, at a receptor distance of 50 feet. These values are comparable to those of
onsite construction equipment such as graders and excavators. Whether noise controls are needed
will depend mainly on the distance of sensitive noise receivers to the rock crushing area.
OTHERꢀJURISDICTIONSꢀ
UltraSystems searched for other jurisdictions in California that had regulations or policies that
applied to rock crushing. Pertinent sections of these jurisdictions’ regulations and policies are
provided in Attachmentꢀ2.
CityꢀofꢀRiverbankꢀ
Although this city is in the San Joaquin Valley, we included it because it has some of the most
comprehensive regulations for onsite rock crushing. It might be suitable as a template (with
modifications for the City of San Bernardino's circumstances) for a municipal code section. The
regulation has specific detailed requirements regarding such items as equipment capabilities,

duration and hours of operations, location of equipment relative to sensitive receptors, and removal
of equipment following completion of activity.
CityꢀofꢀJurupaꢀValleyꢀ
In a recent development agreement ordinance, the City of Jurupa Valley required the Pedley Crossing
shopping center project, which included onsite rock crushing during construction, to install
baghouses on equipment used for rock or concrete crushing to limit particulate matter emissions.
Additional measures considered to limit PM and PM emissions were also included. The agreement102.5
also required an extensive set of mitigation measures for noise from rock crushing in cases where a
line of sight exists between the crushing equipment and residential areas within 900 feet. In addition,
for impacts related to unidentified prehistoric archaeological resources within the Traditional Use
Area, the Tribal Monitor will be allowed onsite at times when the Project Archaeologist is conducting
archaeological monitoring during initial ground disturbing activities and excavation of each portion
of the project site.
CityꢀofꢀEscondidoꢀ
The City of Escondido (San Diego County) Municipal Code §17-238 states that it is unlawful to do any
authorized grading, defined as compacting, drilling, rock crushing or splitting, bulldozing, clearing,
dredging, digging, filling and blasting, at any construction site, except on specified days and hours. It
also states that any equipment used for grading shall not be operated so as to cause noise in excess
of a one-hour sound level limit of 75 dB at any time when measured at or within the property lines
of any property which is developed and used in whole or in part for residential purposes, unless a
variance has been obtained in advance from the city manager.

At the City's request, UltraSystems gathered information on the availability of alternative means of
managing potentially recyclable demolition debris from construction sites. The following things can
be, and are, done to handle concrete demolition debris and solid rock materials that are present on a
construction site:
Haul the material to a landfill for permanent disposal.
Haul the material to an offsite facility (landfill, quarry, recycler etc.) for crushing and sale of
product to that facility's customers.
Haul the material to an offsite crusher, have it crushed, and return the product to the
construction site for use in construction.
Crush the material onsite and use it in construction.
Crush the material onsite and sell it to a building materials vendor.
Several companies within or very near the city of San Bernardino offer services for the recycling or
disposal of concrete and asphalt. The report identifies 12 firms that can provide concrete debris
and/or rock management services. If recycling is not an option due to contaminated debris, most

landfills will accept construction material. If the debris could be hazardous the landfill must be
informed to determine if a waste profile is required so it is disposed of properly.
ComparativeꢀAirꢀPollutantꢀEmissionsꢀ
To put the information presented so far into perspective, we analyzed the following scenarios for a
situation in which 10,000 tons of rock or concrete debris are already on a project site:
A. Loading the debris into dump trucks and hauling it to a landfill.
B. Hauling the debris to an offsite crushing facility, crushing it and returning product to the
construction site.
C. Crushing the rock or concrete onsite with a portable crushing system.
The objective of this analysis was to compare criteria and air pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions for the three scenarios. Results of the analysis are found in Sectionꢀ7.2.2 of this report.
The main findings were:
Scenario B has the highest emissions and Scenario A has the lowest.
For all pollutants except NOx, uncontrolled daily criteria pollutant emissions would be below
the SCAQMD’s CEQA significance thresholds for project operations.
If the diesel generators and loaders were required to meet Tier 4 Final emission standards,
then NOx emissions would also be less than significant.
GHG emissions would range from 10 metric tons of CO2 equivalent (for Scenario A) to 31.7
metric tons of CO2 equivalent (for Scenario B).

1.0 INTRODUCTIONꢀ
Some development projects include demolition of existing concrete structures such as buildings or
pavement. In other cases, solid rock on or just underlying the surface of a project site must be
removed before the site can be graded. Both situations sometimes create large quantities of material
which may potentially be used onsite for construction purposes, but first must be reduced in size.
The main options for disposition of this material are (1) haul to a landfill for disposal, (2) haul to an
offsite crushing facility and return the size-reduced materials to the project site and (3) crush the
material onsite and reuse there.
The City of San Bernardino (the City), having had in recent years to make decisions on development
projects for which onsite crushing of concrete debris has been an option, has requested an
independent study of rock and concrete crushing technology, impacts and regulations.2
1.1 ObjectivesꢀofꢀtheꢀAnalysisꢀ
The objectives of this study were:
Identify areas of the city where onsite crushing operations may be needed.
Describe examples of the use of onsite crushing operations in the Southern California region.
Identify regulatory requirements (including whether and how the activity is regulated by
South Coast Air Quality Management District, City’s Noise Ordinance, NPDES, MS4 permit).
Identify and evaluate the typical equipment used as part of a crushing operation and any
applicable restrictions or regulations (e.g., are AQMD permits required).
Research other regional cities and counties that have similar programs, ordinances and/or
regulations for onsite concrete crushing operations.
1.2 OutlineꢀofꢀtheꢀAnalysisꢀ
Sectionꢀ2 looks at the potential for use of onsite crushing in San Bernardino in the near future. Using
a geologic map developed for this project, it identifies areas of natural bedrock outcrops.
Five completed and current projects in Southern California that used or plan to use onsite rock
crushing were identified and described in detail in Sectionꢀ3.ꢀ
Sectionꢀ 4ꢀ identifies and describes in detail federal, state, regional and local regulations for
controlling the air quality, noise and water quality impacts of rock and concrete crushing. It also
describes City Resolution No. 2020-265.
Sectionꢀ5 describes the individual elements of a rock crushing system and the flow of materials
through it. The section also discusses trends in mobile crushing technology and provides information
for assessing air quality and noise impacts.

Rock crushing regulations and actions of other jurisdictions are discussed in Sectionꢀ 6. Finally,
Sectionꢀ7ꢀcompares environmental impacts of onsite crushing versus hauling materials to landfills.
2.0 POTENTIALꢀFORꢀONSITEꢀCRUSHINGꢀ
This section presents information on the potential need for onsite rock crushing within the City of
San Bernardino corporate limits in the future. Situations which could require onsite crushing would
include (1) presence of native rock that would make grading, excavation and other construction
activities difficult or impossible; (2) onsite demolition of concrete. and (3) preconstruction presence
of dumped materials needing size reduction. Given the lack of detailed information on the second
and third situations in the future, we focused on the first one.
2.1 LocationsꢀofꢀBedrockꢀOutcropsꢀ
The locations of bedrock outcrops within the city limits were identified by using the MapView
webtool provided by the United States Geologic Service (USGS) National Geologic Map Database
(NGMDB).3 MapView provides and compiles all available geologic maps for a specified area, allowing
for accurate identification of surficial geology and rock types.
As seen in Figureꢀ2.1‐1, bedrock outcrops within the San Bernardino City limits occur primarily
along the city's upsloping northern boundary with the San Bernardino Mountains and in the northern
central part of the city as isolated outcrops, with bedrock type and occurrence split by the San
Andreas Fault. Bedrock outcrops along the city's northern boundary, north of the San Andreas Fault,
are comprised mainly of Mesozoic metamorphic gneisses and more resistant granitic rocks;
additionally, a thin band of Cenozoic sandstone and conglomerates occurs north of the fault in select
areas. South of the San Andreas fault and only in areas north of West Base Line Street, bedrock
outcrops are comprised of isolated, often linear outcrops of Mesozoic metamorphic schists; outcrops
of the same schist and Cenozoic granodiorite are also present along the city's boundary with the San
Gabriel Mountains. To the south and away from the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains, and
throughout much of the city, the shallow subsurface is predominantly comprised of Quaternary
alluvial sediments. Tableꢀ2.2‐1 lists the types of exposed bedrock in the city.

2.2 NeedꢀforꢀOnsiteꢀCrushingꢀ
Land use developers and City reviewers can use Figureꢀ 2.1‐1 to determine the potential of a
particular site for native rock issues. Foreknowledge of these issues can help plan the scope of site-
specific geological and geotechnical studies. Cost estimators will know that they will have to account
for removal or onsite rock reduction.
3.0 EXAMPLEꢀONSITEꢀCRUSHINGꢀOPERATIONSꢀINꢀSOUTHERNꢀCALIFORNIAꢀ
To gain appreciation of the environmental and regulatory issues associated with concrete and rock
crushing at construction sites, we looked at seven projects in Southern California. Some of these
projects are currently active, while others obtained clearance under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) but were not built.
3.1 OntarioꢀGrandꢀPark,ꢀOntarioꢀ
In October 2022, the City of Ontario formally began construction on its 370-acre Grand Park Specific
Plan.4,5 Site photographs are provided in Attachmentꢀ1. One of the first steps was to clear debris
from a 135-acre lot just north of the intersection of Eucalyptus Avenue and Sumner Avenue. This plot
of land was previously covered with trash along with abandoned houses, a loading dock, and various
other concrete structures. Hazardous objects included asbestos-containing building materials, dirt
piles hiding thousands of nails within, broken glass and ceramic pieces, and hundreds of tires.
Relatively easily removable waste was promptly sorted and loaded into trucks to be hauled away to
either recycling or proper disposal facilities.
Next came the large bulldozers, blasters, and other demolition equipment to begin breaking up large
slabs of concrete and asphalt into smaller pieces that would fit into a rock crusher. The temporary
rock crusher was onsite for about three weeks, sorting material by size and removing the mixed-in
rebar. The construction equipment was only operated within certain approved hours, avoiding
weekends and holidays so as to not create a nuisance to sensitive receptors. The nearest sensitive
receptors, or groups especially vulnerable to poor air quality and loud noise, were homes
approximately 1,000 feet from the crushing location. During the demolition phase, there were no
complaints from any sensitive receptors. This was most likely due to the combination of appropriate
operating hours, distance to the construction site, and knowledge of the project going on.
The end result of the demolition phase was approximately 96,000 tons of crushed 0.75-inch
aggregate material into two large piles. These piles reached heights of about 30 feet, each covering
an area of about 1,500 square feet. These piles are not covered nor are they regularly hosed down,
except in response to strong winds. The piles do not produce much dust due to the particle size and
being compacted after some rain. It is not clear whether the mitigation measures required by South
Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 4036 have been implemented. The plan aims to reuse
95% of the crushed aggregate as a base for the Grand Park so there is no need to move it. Some of the

aggregate has already been hauled to other parts of the city to use as a base for other projects, and
whatever is not used will be sold to contractors or used elsewhere.
The key components of this project regarding rock crushing are the location, the acreage, and the
public’s attitude towards it. The lack of nearby sensitive receptors allowed the contractors to acquire
standard demolition permits and follow typical construction measures without needing to take extra
steps to reduce noise or air emissions. The large size of the project plan allows the aggregate to stay
and be used onsite, diminishing the need for extra hauling. The public’s support for the project
applied pressure on the City to expedite the beginning stages of development.
3.2 LagunaꢀHillsꢀMallꢀDemolition,ꢀLagunaꢀHillsꢀ
Laguna Hills Mall, a former regional shopping mall on a 68-acre site in Laguna Hills, is being
redeveloped into The Villages at Laguna Hills, a mixed-use project with a range of uses including
retail, office, hotel, entertainment, and open space and recreation.
The Project is located adjacent to the I-5 Freeway and away from any established residential
neighborhoods or other sensitive receptors, and there are no adverse impacts on any established
neighborhoods or communities. The City of Laguna Hills has received noise complaints from
residents of the City of Lake Forest (across the I-5 Freeway), but noise could also have been from a
concurrent Caltrans project on the freeway.
The full demolition will involve crushing onsite of 34,242 tons of concrete and 63,031 tons of asphalt,
all of which will be reused onsite. A maximum of 194 tons per hour for concrete and 210 tons per
hour of asphalt would be crushed, resulting in a maximum of 1,552 tons per eight-hour day and 1,680
tons per eight-hour day for concrete and asphalt, respectively. The onsite mobile
crushing/processing rig is driven by a 220-horsepower engine.
An estimated 2,320 tons of demolition material would be exported offsite, requiring 232 one-way
haul truck trips. The distance to the demolition disposal site is anticipated to be less than 20 miles
from the project site.
The project required a Precise Plan permit process. Construction noise is exempt from the City’s
Noise Ordinance, provided that the work occurs between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday through Friday,
and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays. Construction activity on Sundays and Federal holidays is permitted,
but must comply with the City’s Noise Ordinance.
3.3 FanitaꢀRanchꢀDevelopment,ꢀSanteeꢀ
The Fanita Ranch project was approved by the Santee City Council on September 23, 2020.7 The
project site consists of approximately 2,638 acres in the northern portion of the City of Santee (City)
in eastern San Diego County. The master planned community would consist of up to 2,949 housing
units with a school, or 3,008 units without a school, up to 80,000 square feet of commercial uses,
parks, open space, and agriculture uses. The site lies north of State Route (SR)-52 and west of SR-67
and would be accessed from the future northerly extensions of Fanita Parkway and Cuyamaca Street
via Mast Boulevard and the future extension of Magnolia Avenue to Cuyamaca Street. It is bordered
by Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and Padre Dam Municipal Water District facilities to the west,

including Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve; open space/recreational areas including Goodan Ranch
Regional Park and Sycamore Canyon Open Space Preserve to the north and west; Santee residential
neighborhoods to the south; and the unincorporated residential community of Eucalyptus Hills to the
east.
Materials crushed onsite include rock, dense to very dense sandy gravel, cobble, and boulders--to
produce roadway subbase--and other aggregate materials for use on the site. The crushing operation
involves a temporary onsite aggregate plant powered by electricity. There is a potential for using jaw
and cone crusher systems, which may result in air quality and noise impacts.
Rock crushing activities would comply with the City’s noise standards and regional air quality
standards.ꢀ
3.4 HallmarkꢀTownhomes8ꢀProject,ꢀSanꢀMarcosꢀ
Hallmark Townhomes, which was approved by the San Marcos City Council in May 2022, is a
multifamily project proposing 151 multifamily residential units situated on approximately 10.56
gross acres of land. Residential units are planned on approximately 2.8 acres of the project site.
Located in the City of San Marcos in San Diego County, the site is characterized by granitic bedrock
conditions, requiring blasting and an onsite rock crushing operation.
The crusher would be located approximately 500 feet from the nearest sensitive receptors
(residences, a church and a preschool), in the central portion of the site along East Barham Drive to
maximize the distance separation from the adjacent residential, church, and school uses. In the
project EIR, fugitive dust generation emissions resulting from blasting and rock crushing were
evaluated using emission factors from the USEPA AP-42 publication. The AERSCREEN dispersion
model was used to predict the maximum exposure distance and concentrations. Depending on
staging location, noise levels resulting from rock crushing operations and potentially from a rock drill
would exceed City standards.
During grading, a small rock crusher would be onsite for ancillary crushing needs. The project may
utilize a Thunderbird Hazemag Impact Crushing Plant Model CP300 rock crusher or equivalent. Rock
crushing will occur between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
A conditional use permit is included with the entitlement of the proposed project for potential use of
a rock crusher on site. Blasting also required issuance of a blasting permit from the San Marcos Fire
Department. Assuming the rock crusher is 10 feet high, the barrier associated with the rock crushing
operation must be at least 11 to 12 feet high to shield the crusher both visually and acoustically.
3.5 HarvestꢀHills,9ꢀEscondidoꢀ
This residential development is located in the City of Escondido in west-central San Diego County, 30
miles north of downtown San Diego and 18 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. The planned community
is east of the Rancho San Pasqual community (580 homes), northeast of the Rancho Vistamonte
community (80 homes), and north of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

The Harvest Hills project proposes a 550-unit single-family residential development with a fire
station and public and private recreational amenities on approximately 1,098 acres. The area in
which the project is located is described as a community composed of distinct residential
neighborhoods, business districts, and employment centers, whose urban form reflects the natural
environmental setting. Nearest sensitive receptors are single-family residences (nearest is 108 feet)
and the Safari Park (700 feet).
Development of the site will involve rock crushing, which would be completed with a crusher, and
would also be required to process rock removed with project grading onsite. During construction, all
operating rock crushing equipment is be placed at a minimum of 500 feet from an existing residence.
The City of Escondido’s regulation of onsite rock crushing is discussed further in Sectionꢀ6.3.ꢀ
3.6 UniversityꢀOfficeꢀandꢀMedicalꢀParkꢀProject,ꢀSanꢀMarcosꢀ
This was a proposed 87-acre mixed-use project near California State University San Marcos in San
Diego County.10 Elements of the project included medical offices, professional offices, a specialized
hospital, and support retail. About five acres of the property was also reserved as a potential school
site. Finally, it would have included about 16 acres of natural habitat preservation associated with
San Marcos Creek.
On the northeastern portion of the project site were outcrops of granitic rock of the Cretaceous
Southern California Batholith, locally covered by topsoil, as well as Jurassic-aged volcanic rock. This
material needed to be removed to allow grading and other construction activities. The plan was to
blast the rock formations and then crush the debris with onsite portable equipment. The temporary
facility would have contained, at a minimum, a jaw crusher and associated screening, loading and
power generation equipment, which would have been used to reduce rock to minus 6-inch cap
material. The facility would also have been permitted to contain secondary crushing equipment,
including a cone crusher, stackers and conveyors, to produce material to support and cover utilities
under roadways. PM10 emissions were calculated with emission factors developed by the San Diego
Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD).11 Because the mass of rock to be processed was unknown,
the calculation determined the maximum daily rock processing rate that would not result in total
unmitigated PM10 emissions exceeding the SDAPCD’s CEQA threshold. Under a “worst case” of low-
moisture rock and no emission controls, the amount of rock that could be crushed would range from
about 4,670 tons per day (secondary crushing only) to about 16,000 tons per day (primary crushing
only). Implementation of fugitive dust control measures for construction activities other than rock
crushing then would have allowed process rates for the rock crushing operation to be higher. In any
event, the SDAPCD would have, through issuance of a permit to operate, imposed conditions to
ensure that emissions from the rock crushing facility would be minimized.
Noise impacts from blasting and rock crushing during construction were analyzed for this project.
Noise exposures from rock crushing are discussed in Sectionꢀ5.5. For the San Marcos project, the
temporary rock crushing facility was estimated to be about 1,300 feet from the nearest sensitive
receptor (a residence south of the project area). The estimated noise exposure at the residence

would be 53.5 dBA. This level is far below the estimated exposure from other construction
equipment, and would not make a significant contribution toward total exposure.
Public comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Report were generally negative. The proposed
rock crushing operation was mentioned by many local residents, who were concerned about
excessive noise. The response to this type of comment was that, as noted above, the facility would be
too distant from sensitive receivers to make a significant contribution to total construction noise. The
Final EIR, presented calculations to show that only residences within about 150 feet would be
exposed to excessive noise levels from any of the construction activities, assuming no mitigation.
To the best of our knowledge, the University Office and Medical Park Project was never built. In March
2018, the City of San Marcos approved Discovery Village, a residential project on approximately the
same site.12 The southern half of the project is substantially built as of this writing, while construction
has not yet begun on the northern half. Construction has included blasting, but have no information
at this writing about rock crushing.
3.7 TheꢀBouldersꢀProject,ꢀMenifeeꢀ
The Boulders Project in Menifee (Riverside County) is a 10.14-acre mixed-use development
comprised of an office building, a 234-unit multi-family apartment complex and amenities.13 The
southeast corner of the site is occupied by a small hill with numerous large unweathered granitic
boulders up to 20 feet in diameter. The project will require the use of two rock crushers and two
pneumatic hammers to remove boulders and bedrock. The IS/MND does not explicitly address
criteria air pollutant or greenhouse gas emissions from the rock crushing. However, it does address
noise from that activity. The analysis assumes that the crushers and pneumatic hammers would each
result in a maximum noise exposure of 85 dBA at 50 feet.14 This value is slightly lower than the time-
weighted average values presented in Sectionꢀ5.6, and so may be an underestimate. Although total
construction noise exposure was estimated to exceed 90 dBA Lmax at one neighboring residence, the
rock crushers and pneumatic hammers were responsible for less than four percent of the total. The
rock crushers would not cause vibration impacts, and the pneumatic hammers were assumed to have
the same vibration characteristics as jackhammers. The analysis found that the pneumatic hammers
would have negligible vibration impacts. Project construction began on June 30, 2023.15

REGULATORYꢀREQUIREMENTSꢀ
AirꢀQualityꢀ
4.1.1 AirꢀPollutionꢀIssuesꢀ
Concrete and rock crushing results in the potential release of significant quantities of two types of
particulate matter (PM). PM consists of finely divided solids or liquids, such as soot, dust, aerosols,
fumes and mists. Primary PM is emitted directly into the atmosphere from activities such as
agricultural operations, industrial processes, construction and demolition activities, and
entrainment of road dust into the air. Secondary PM is formed in the atmosphere from predominantly
gaseous combustion by-product precursors, such as sulfur oxides, NOX, and ROGs.
Particle size is a critical characteristic of PM that primarily determines the location of PM deposition
along the respiratory system (and associated health effects) as well as the degradation of visibility
through light scattering. In the United States, federal and state agencies have focused on two types of
PM. PM10 corresponds to the fraction of PM no greater than 10 micrometers in aerodynamic diameter
and is commonly called respirable particulate matter, while PM2.5 refers to the subset of PM10 of
aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.5 micrometers, which is commonly called fine particulate
matter.16
PM10 and PM2.5 deposition in the lungs results in irritation that triggers a range of inflammation
responses, such as mucus secretion and bronchoconstriction, and exacerbates pulmonary
dysfunctions, such as asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. Sufficiently small particles may
penetrate the bloodstream and impact functions such as blood coagulation, cardiac autonomic
control, and mobilization of inflammatory cells from the bone marrow. Individuals susceptible to
higher health risks from exposure to PM10 airborne pollution include children, the elderly, smokers,
and people of all ages with low pulmonary/cardiovascular function. For these individuals, adverse
health effects of PM10 pollution include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, phlegm, bronchitis,
and aggravation of lung or heart disease, leading, for example, to increased risks of hospitalization
and mortality from asthma attacks and heart attacks. PM2.5 is particularly harmful because of its high
surface-to-volume ratio. Toxic metals and other hazardous air pollutants cling to the particles
surface and are carried deep into the lungs.
Both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the California Air Resources Board
(ARB) have established health-based standards for PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations in ambient air.
The City of San Bernardino is in the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB), which is in nonattainment (in
violation) of the California standards for both particulate pollutants.17 The SCAB is a federal
“maintenance area” for PM10, which means that in no longer violates the USEPA standards but must
continue implementing the measures that it took to achieve compliance. The Basin is in serious
federal nonattainment for PM2.5.18

disease and kidney disease.19 The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has
issued exposure standards for construction workers exposed to crystalline silica, including those
who operate crushing machines.20 However, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not
regulate crystalline silica as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP).21 The California Office of Environmental
Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), in conjunction with the ARB has established relative exposure
levels for crystalline silica for chronic noncancer risk assessments, but has not developed cancer risk
factors.22
4.1.2 CaliforniaꢀAirꢀResourcesꢀBoard’sꢀPortableꢀEquipmentꢀRegistrationꢀProgramꢀ(PERP)ꢀ
Normally, any piece of equipment that emits air pollutants needs to have a permit to operate from
the local or regional air pollution control agency, unless it is specifically exempted. Rock crushing
equipment would therefore need a permit from the local air quality regulatory agency, which is the
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). However, the ARB has established a
voluntary equipment registration program for portable equipment, such as rock crushers, that can
be moved from one site to another anywhere in California.23 The equipment cannot reside at one site
for more than 12 consecutive months.24 In order to start a new 12-month clock at any location,
portable equipment must have been moved from a different location for a legitimate business
purpose other than avoiding an air district permit requirement.
For rock crushing units that are self-propelled, the engine that provides power for transportation to
and from a work site is not registered under PERP, and does not require a SCAQMD permit, but is
nevertheless subject to ARB onroad mobile source regulations. The part of the machine that
produces particulate emissions (crusher, grinder, etc.) is considered portable and is eligible for PERP.
PERP registration is also available for diesel-fueled portable generators that supply electricity to the
crushing equipment.
To be eligible for PERP registration, an engine must satisfy a number of requirements. We will not
go too deeply into the details here, but the main requirements are as follows.
Engines rated at 50 to 750 brake horsepower (BHP) must be certified to federal Tier 4 Final
standards,25,26 although under some circumstances other tiers are permissible. These

4.1.3 SouthꢀCoastꢀAirꢀQualityꢀManagementꢀDistrictꢀ
The SCAQMD is responsible for maintaining and improving air quality in all of Orange County and the
urbanized portions of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Through its regulations
and rules, it implements state and federal laws and regulations within its geographic distribution.
The SCAQMD has an extensive set of rules for controlling air pollutant emissions. These rules apply
whether or not permits are required for emission sources. The following discussion focuses on rules
that potentially apply to onsite concrete and rock crushing.
4.1.3.1 SCAQMDꢀRuleꢀ401ꢀ(VisibleꢀEmissions)ꢀ
This rule prohibits anyone from discharging to the atmosphere from a single source any air
contaminant that, for an aggregated three minutes in any hour, is darker than No. 1 on the
Ringelmann Chart or that obscures the observer’s view as much as or more than does smoke. The
Ringelmann Chart shows a standard set of shades ranging from white through gray to black. Two
things of note here are: (1) someone has to complain before a SCAQMD inspector comes to investigate
and (2) the Ringelmann Chart comparison must be made with someone who has gone through special
training and passed a qualifying “smoke test.”
4.1.3.2 SCAQMDꢀRuleꢀ402ꢀ(Nuisance)ꢀ
Rule 402 states that “A person shall not discharge from any source whatsoever such quantities of air
contaminants or other material which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any
considerable number of persons or to the public, or which endanger the comfort, repose, health or
safety of any such persons or the public, or which cause, or have a natural tendency to cause, injury
or damage to business or property.” For someone to be cited for violation of this rule, a SCAQMD
inspector must observer the nuisance in person.
4.1.3.3 SCAQMDꢀRuleꢀ403ꢀ(FugitiveꢀDust)ꢀ
This is a voluminous and complex rule whose purpose is to reduce the amount of particulate matter
entrained in the ambient air as a result of anthropogenic (man-made) fugitive dust sources by
requiring actions to prevent, reduce or mitigate fugitive dust emissions. It applies to any activity
capable of generating fugitive dust.30 The rule contains numerous control measures; some apply to
all dust-generating operations and some to operations on 50 or more acres of disturbed surface area.

Two of the rule’s provisions have an increased potential for violation when crushed materials are
stockpiled and are not covered and/or frequently watered:
No person shall cause or allow the emissions of fugitive dust from any active operation, open
storage pile, or disturbed surface area such that the dust remains visible in the atmosphere
beyond the property line of the emission source.31
No person shall cause or allow PM10 levels to exceed 50 micrograms per cubic meter when
determined, by simultaneous sampling, as the difference between upwind and downwind
samples collected on high-volume particulate matter samplers or other U.S. EPA-approved
equivalent method for PM10 monitoring.32
Crushing operations are specifically mentioned in Rule 403, including one of the activities that comes
under the definition of “construction.” The following two control measures are mandatory for all
project sizes:33
Measureꢀ04‐1: Stabilize surface soils prior to operation of support equipment.
Measureꢀ04‐2: Stabilize material after crushing.
The rule gives the following guidance for implementing the control measures:
Follow permit conditions for crushing equipment.
Pre-water material prior to loading into crusher.
Monitor crusher emissions opacity.
Apply water to crushed material to prevent dust plumes.
Crushed materials are generally stored in stockpiles while awaiting onsite use or transport offsite.
Rule 403 has the following two control measures for stockpiles at all sizes of construction sites:
Measureꢀ14‐1:ꢀStabilize stockpiled materials.
Measureꢀ14‐2:ꢀStockpiles within 100 yards of offsite occupied buildings must not be greater
than eight feet in height; or must have a road bladed to the top to allow water truck access or
must have an operational water irrigation system that is capable of complete stockpile
coverage.
The rule gives the following guidance for implementing the control measures:
Add or remove material from the downwind portion of the storage pile.
Maintain storage piles to avoid steep sides or faces.
For large operations, additional requirements apply to open storage piles at construction sites:34

Operations)ꢀ
Although most of the provisions of this rule concern activities at stationary sources, such as rock
quarries, the rule also applies to portable onsite rock crushing operations.35 Much of the rule’s
requirements are similar to those of Rule 403, described above. The following provisions focus on
rock crushing activities and material storage piles.
VisibleꢀDustꢀLimitationsꢀ
The rule limits discharges of visible dust emissions to the atmosphere from any activity, equipment
or storage pile. Visible dust plumes may not exceed 100 feet from those types of sources.36
EquipmentꢀDustꢀControlꢀ
Dust suppressants or other dust control methods must be used during loading, unloading or
transferring materials, including use of conveyors.
Screening equipment must be within an enclosure that is equipped with a baghouse or use
dust suppressants or other dust control measures.37
Crushing equipment does not need to be enclosed, but it needs to have baghouses to control
PM10 emissions; alternatively, dust suppressants or other dust control methods must be
used.38
StorageꢀPilesꢀ
The operator must maintain the entire surface area of open material storage piles in a
stabilized condition or store materials in a silo or a bunker.39
Open material storage piles may not be more than eight feet high if they are located within
300 feet of offsite occupied buildings or houses. As an alternative, a water irrigation system
must maintain in a stabilized condition the entire surface of the storage piles.40

4.2 Noiseꢀ
The City of San Bernardino Municipal Code has only a few provisions covering construction noise,
and none specifically related to concrete or rock crushing. Section 8.54.070 limits “any work of
construction, erection, alteration, repair, addition, movement, demolition, or improvement to any
building or structure” to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. These limits, as well as other provisions
of Chapter 8.54 (Noise Control) may be changed for construction of park and recreation facilities and
public works projects,41 and for “construction, repair or excavation work performed pursuant to a
valid written agreement with the City, or any of its political subdivisions, which provides for noise
mitigation measures.42
All internal combustion equipment, including construction equipment, is required to have a silencing
muffler.43
4.3 Waterꢀ
Air pollution control measures for rock crushing frequently include spraying materials with water as
they pass through crushing equipment or are stored in piles before and after being processed.
Overspray may result in the water coming into contact with the ground. In addition, rainfall may
infiltrate into storage piles, leading to saturation and runoff to the ground; this results in entrainment
and transport of solid particles and dissolved chemicals to surface waters or groundwater. Transport
of fine concrete-derived materials is of special concern because these materials have high pH levels
and could adversely affect both surface water and groundwater quality.44 The following is a summary
of federal and state regulations designed to control water pollution.
The following are summaries of federal and state water regulations that could affect use of onsite
rock crushing equipment during construction.
4.3.1 FederalꢀRequirementsꢀ
4.3.1.1 NPDESꢀPermitꢀ
Unless a property to be developed is adjacent to a water body or has one running through it, use of
onsite rock crushing would not require federal permits under §§ 401 or 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA). However, § 402 of the CWA requires that projects that disturb one or more acres of soil or
disturb less than one acre but are part of a larger common plan of development that in total disturbs
one or more acres, to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. In
California, to which the USEPA has delegated partial authority for administering the NPDES, the
developer must obtain coverage under the General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated
with Construction Activity: Construction General Permit Adopted Order 2009-0009-DWQ (as
amended by 2010-0014-DWQ and 2012-0006-DWQ).45 Construction activity subject to this permit
includes clearing, grading and disturbances to the ground such as stockpiling, or excavation, but does

not include regular maintenance activities performed to restore the original line, grade, or capacity
of the facility.
The Construction General Permit requires the development of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) by a certified Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD).
To prevent water quality impacts (designated in Basin Plans) to waters of the U.S. and State, if a
project site would disturb less than one acre, preparation of a project-specific SWPPP is still
recommended to:
Ensure that concrete piles are treated and contained as if they are concrete washout areas
and other washout areas that may contain additional pollutants that could impact beneficial
uses or exceed water quality parameters as described in Basin Plans, so there is no discharge
into the underlying soil and onto the surrounding areas. They must implement “best
management practices” (BMPs), including non-stormwater BMPs, described in the most
recent California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) Best Management Practices
Handbook46 or similar compilation.
Prevent fugitive dust from concrete grinding to mix with onsite soils or settle in drainages
and be carried into receiving waters. Should this occur, such soils must be treated as
contaminated soils and removed from the site prior to groundwork or other construction
activities.
Ensure that rock piles are treated as stockpiled materials as discussed in the most recent
CASQA Best Management Practices Handbook.
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) provides review and permitting services for
onsite projects in the city of San Bernardino.
4.3.2 MS4ꢀPermitꢀ
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and Waste Discharge
Requirements for the San Bernardino County Flood Control District, the County of San Bernardino,
and the Incorporated Cities of San Bernardino County within the Santa Ana Region Area-Wide Urban
Storm Water Runoff Management Program (Order No. R8-2010-0036, and NPDES No. CAS618036),
to which the City and County of San Bernardino are signatories (Permittees), regulates the discharge
of pollutants into waters of the U.S. by way of stormwater and urban runoff drainage systems,
including flood control facilities (RWQCB, 2010). These conveyance systems are commonly referred
to as municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s), or storm drains. In this context, the NPDES
Permit is also referred to as an MS4 permit.
Pursuant to the MS4 permit, Principal Permittees and Permittees must regulate discharges of
pollutants in urban runoff from man-made sources into storm drains within their jurisdiction. The
City and County of San Bernardino, as Permittees, may conduct construction site inspections for
compliance with their ordinances (grading, Water Quality Management Plans, etc.) and local permits
(construction, grading, etc.). The Permittees would develop a checklist for conducting site
inspections. Inspections of construction sites would include, but not be limited to:

Verification of coverage under the General Construction Permit (Notice of Intent [NOI] or
Waste Discharge Identification Number) during the initial inspection, including visual
observations for non-storm water discharges, potential illicit connections, and potential
pollutant sources, and assessment of the effectiveness of BMPs implemented at the site and
the need for any additional BMPs.
Determination of compliance with local ordinances, permits, Water Quality Management
Plans and other requirements, including the implementation and maintenance of BMPs
required under local requirements.
A review of the Erosion and Sediment Control Plans (ESCP) to ensure that the BMPs
implemented onsite are consistent with the appropriate phase of construction (Preliminary
Stage, Mass Grading Stage, Streets and Utilities Stage, Vertical Construction Stage, and Post-
Construction Stage).
If stormwater generated on a project site would discharge to the City and County of San Bernardino
storm drain system, the project would be required to comply with all relevant aspects of the MS4
permit. Compliance with the requirements of the Construction General Permit and requirements of
the Basin Plan(s) would demonstrate compliance with the MS4 Permit.
4.3.3 CityꢀofꢀSanꢀBernardinoꢀRequirementsꢀ
The City of San Bernardino has some Municipal Code sections devoted to water quality.
§ꢀ 8.80.101ꢀ essentially recognizes that the City is subject to the requirements of its MS4
permit, as described above.
§ꢀ8.80.103(34)(g) defines one type of pollutant as “substances having a pH less than 6.5 or
greater than 8.5, or unusual coloration, turbidity or odor.” Thus concrete waste, with its high
pH, would be defined as a pollutant.
The City of San Bernardino City Engineer is responsible for the administration, implementation, and
enforcement of the provisions of § 8.80, which applies to all dischargers, including commercial,
industrial, and construction enterprises, to the City’s stormwater drainage system (§ 8.80.201 and

enforceable in a court of law or by directly seeking court action. Administrative orders may include
Compliance Orders, Stop Work Orders, and Cease and Desist Orders (§ 8.80.603).
4.4 CityꢀResolutionꢀonꢀTemporaryꢀUseꢀPermitsꢀ
On October 21, 2020, the San Bernardino City Council adopted Resolution 2020-265 to provide
clarification and guidance on the issuance of temporary use permits under Municipal Code §
19.70.020(2). According to the Resolution, § 19.70.020 permits a developer to use the site of an
approved development project for storage of finished construction materials in the immediate runup
to and during the construction of the project. 47 It was not intended to permit storage of construction
materials at sites prior to the issuance of permits authorizing construction to begin (e.g., grading
permits). The resolution gives the following guidance:
A. Stock piles of building materials shall only be permitted in conjunction with the issuance by
the City of a grading permit or a building permit.
B. Stock piles of building materials shall consist only of finished materials ready for grading or
construction.
C. No temporary use permit may be issued to permit the crushing or grinding of unfinished raw
materials such as rock or concrete at a residentially-zoned site or in any other zone within
1,000 feet of a residentially zoned property.
D. If a temporary use permit is issued permitting the crushing or grinding of unfinished raw
materials such as rock or concrete, City staff shall condition the temporary use permit in such
manner to address the public health, safety and welfare. Such conditions shall, among other
things address dust mitigation, noise mitigation, site security and compliance with all
applicable air quality and water quality standards.
To the best of our knowledge, this resolution is still in force.

REVIEWꢀOFꢀROCKꢀCRUSHINGꢀEQUIPMENTꢀ
ElementsꢀofꢀaꢀRockꢀCrushingꢀSystemꢀ
A fairly small number of equipment types are common to most onsite rock crushing processes. This
section identifies and describes the major elements of portable systems; how they interact with each
other is described in Sectionꢀ5.2.
5.1.1 PrimaryꢀCrushingꢀEquipmentꢀ
Primary crushers are used in the initial stage of crushing operations to break down blasted material
or natural rock to sizes that can be transferred to and processed in secondary crushers. Typical
heavy-duty equipment used in primary crushing includes grizzlies, jaw crushers, gyratory crushers,

impact crushers, and cone crushers. The recommended minimum product for primary crushing is
6.5 inches and the maximum feed opening is 2.5 to 5 feet.
5.1.1.1 Grizzlyꢀ
A grizzly is a device that separates feed material by size. It is usually comprised of parallel metal bars
with air space between them, or a grid of metal bars. Its two main functions are (1) to prevent
oversize rocks from plugging up a crusher and stopping the process; and (2) to allow small material
that does not need crushing to bypass the crusher.48
5.1.1.2 JawꢀCrushersꢀ
Jaw crushers are durable, blunt instruments typically used in the primary stage of rock crushing.
Sometimes called “rock breakers,” jaw crushers use compressive force on large rock pieces to break
them into smaller, elongated fragments acceptable for secondary crushing.49 They can handle
different types of non-sticky aggregate material well and do not produce much fine dust. Like with
most crushing equipment, the capacity of a jaw crusher varies depending on the size of the equipment
and the material being crushed. Smaller portable jaw crushers have a capacity of about 20 to 30 tons
per hour (tph)50 while larger ones can range from 200 to 1,300 tph.51
5.1.1.3 GyratoryꢀCrushersꢀ
Gyratory crushers are typically used in the primary stage of rock crushing but they can also be used
in the secondary stage. The concave surface of their conical heads is most often lined with manganese
steel, and they crush aggregate to one-tenth of its original size using eccentric motion. Gyratory
crushers work better with soft and dry materials. The capacity of a primary gyratory crusher can
range from 420 to 3,000 tph and a secondary gyratory crusher can range from 200 to 1,500 tph
depending on the size and power of the equipment.52
5.1.1.4 ConeꢀCrushersꢀ
Cone crushers use compression to break down material similar to jaw and gyratory crushers, and
they are common for both primary and secondary crushing.53 The components of a cone crusher
include a manganese-lined, slightly angled concave bowl with a rotating mantle. Horizontal shaft
impactors (HSIs) and vertical shaft impactors (VSIs) are two impact-style equipment types of cone-
crushers. Cone crushers handle dry or wet, medium-hard to very hard material well, though not so

much sticky material and have a capacity ranging from 230 to 700 tph.54 The cubical product from
this has a 1:6 to 1:4 reduction ratio, meaning a 12-inch rock will come out as a 2- to 3-inch product.
5.1.1.5 ImpactꢀCrushersꢀ
Impact crushers are very versatile and can handle different types of soft, medium, and hard materials
including steel and asphalt. they are ideal for smaller-scale projects like in roadside or urban
environments. They break the material by throwing it against an impact wall, or apron, using a
spinning rotor with hammers.55 In general, mobile impact crushers have a capacity of 100 to 500 tph
and produce a varying size range of cubical aggregate particles.
5.1.2 SecondaryꢀCrushingꢀEquipmentꢀ
Secondary crushing is performed after primary crushing and further reduces aggregate material into
smaller particles ready for tertiary or quaternary crushing stages. Equipment used in secondary
crushing includes roller crushers, hammer mills, and vertical shaft impactors. The recommended
product range for secondary crushing is 0.75 to 4 inches and the maximum feed opening is 25 inches.
5.1.2.1 RollꢀCrushersꢀ
Roll crushers can be used for secondary and tertiary crushing stages. They have two rollers working
in opposite directions, shearing and compressing the material that is fed into the gap between the
rollers. They can handle wet and sticky material at high capacities with low horsepower.56
5.1.2.2 HammerꢀMillsꢀ
Hammer mills, which can be used for secondary and tertiary crushing stages, have hammers rotating
at high speeds to pulverize material. They can produce particles finer than 3/16 inch (4 millimeters)
from a wide range of materials such as bauxite, limestone, and gypsum.57
5.1.2.3 VerticalꢀShaftꢀImpactorsꢀ
Vertical shaft impactors can be used for secondary and tertiary crushing stages. They have spinning
hammers generating centrifugal force to further break up material. They are application-specific
since they cannot handle abrasive material well and have high maintenance and operating costs.
5.1.3 TertiaryꢀandꢀQuaternaryꢀCrushersꢀ
Tertiary and quaternary crushing stages, or the third and fourth stages, follow primary and
secondary crushing for fine sizing of particles. Most secondary crushing equipment can be used in
this step, though cone crushers are the most common. A type of equipment that is used at this stage,
but not in the primary stage, is the autogenous mill. This device is similar to a ball mill, in which hard
spheres are made to move among the piece of rock and break them; the difference is that the rocks

themselves act as the impactors.58 The recommended finished product for a tertiary cone crusher
is 0.37 to 1 inch and the maximum feed opening is 10 inches.59
5.2 RockꢀCrushingꢀProcessꢀ
The general process of crushing rock is as follows, although, depending on the project, steps may be
added or omitted. Material is dropped in a bin and from there an automatic feeder transports
material to a grizzly which brings it to the primary crusher. The undersize material left in the grizzly
is combined with the product from the primary crusher and is transported via conveyor belt to an
intermediate bin. An automatic feeder then transports the material to an elevated belt which is
dumped onto a vibrating screen. The sifted material bypasses the next step which is a grinding
section that leads to a secondary crusher. The sifted material rejoins the secondary crusher product
and heads to a fine material bin.
5.3 PowerꢀSourcesꢀ
The three main options for power sources for portable rock crushing equipment are diesel engines,
electric generators and line power. Under the first option, diesel engines incorporated integrally into
the crushing equipment provide mechanical power. A major disadvantage is that they are subject to
vibration and exposed to dust that can clog air filters.
Under the second option, an electrical generator set (genset) burning diesel fuel is located away from
the equipment, reducing vibration and dust issues. It provides power to electric motors that drive
the crusher and to other electrical equipment such as lighting.
The third alternative is to connect the crushing plant to the electric power grid. This is generally the
least expensive alternative for operation. However, installing the utility hookups may be time-
consuming and expensive, and offsite issues may interrupt line service.
5.4 RecentꢀDevelopmentsꢀinꢀRockꢀCrushingꢀTechnologyꢀ
Rock crushers are designed to crush large rocks, concrete fragments and other large demolition
debris elements into smaller rocks, gravel or rock dust. Mobile rock crushers are becoming
increasingly popular in the construction and mining industries due to their mobility, efficiency and
versatility. 60,61,62

Mobile rock crushers consist of several components, including a primary crushing unit (usually a jaw
crusher, which crush large rocks into smaller rocks or gravel), a secondary crushing unit usually a
cone crusher, to crush hard and abrasive materials, such as granite, basalt and quartz), a vibrating
screen, and a belt conveyor. Other types of mobile rock crushers include impact crushers and vertical
shaft impact crushers. Mobile rock crushers often have such environmentally-friendly features as
dust suppression systems, which minimize the air quality impacts of crushing operations. Safety
features such as remote-control units, emergency shut-off switches and safety guards are also
important. Mobile crushers are more expensive than stationary crushers (such as used in quarries),
and only last about half the lifetime.
The global mobile crusher and screener was valued at $2,467.5 million in 2020 and is projected to
reach $4,354.9 million by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 5.7 percent from 2020
to 2030. Key players in the industry include Metso Corp., Terex Corporation, Sandvik AB, Komatsu
Mining Corporation and McCloskey International Ltd. Chinese-built crushers account for nearly 60
percent of the market.
5.5 AirꢀEmissionsꢀandꢀControlsꢀ
The most widely-used source of information on air pollutant emissions from rock crushing is the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s CompilationꢀofꢀAirꢀPollutantꢀEmissionsꢀFactorsꢀ(AP‐42).63 Since its
original publication in 1972, AP-42 has been revised and expanded numerous times and is now
available primarily online. Information relevant to rock and concrete crushing is in AP-42 Volume I,
Chapter 11, Mineral Products Industry, § 11.19.2, Crushed Stone Processing and Pulverized Mineral
Processing.64
As discussed in Sectionꢀ4.1.1, the main rock crushing air pollutants of concern in the SCAB are PM10
and PM2.5. A substantial portion of the total emissions consists of large, heavy particles that settle out
onsite and are not directly emitted to the atmosphere. Other factors affecting emissions are the
surface moisture content of the stone processed (the wetter the stone, the lower the emissions), the
process throughput rate, the type of equipment and operating practices, and climatic factors.
The main methods of controlling particulate emissions from rock crushing are (1) water spraying at
various points in the processing and (2) enclosing equipment and directing emissions to a baghouse.
In a baghouse, exhaust emissions are directed to a large number of fabric bags. In some designs, the
dirty air passes through the bag, which trap the pollutants inside. In other designs, the dust is trapped
on the outside of the bag. The trapped matter is periodically removed from the bags by reverse air
flow or shaking and then collected in a hopper.65
AP-42 reports PM10 control efficiencies ranging from 77.7 percent for tertiary crushing to 95.9
percent for conveyor transfer points. However, the SCAQMD has developed other control efficiency
estimates that are based upon the requirements in Rule 1157 (seeꢀ Sectionꢀ 4.1.3.4) and local
meteorological factors.66 The San Diego County Air Pollution Control District has also developed

bPM10 and PM2.5 fractions of total PM obtained from AP-42.
For project-specific emissions analyses, additional research and judgment are needed in selecting
emission factors. However, to put these values into perspective, for a fairly large rock crushing
operation of 1,000 tons per day, the total uncontrolled PM10 and PM2.5 emissions in the categories
shown in Tableꢀ5.4‐1ꢀwould be 19 and 1 pounds per day, respectively. Controlled emissions would
be 1.6 and 0.15 pounds per day, respectively. These values are far below the SCAQMD’s thresholds
for significance under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 150 and 55 pounds per day
of PM and PM , respectively.10 2.5
Portable crushing equipment that uses diesel engines or diesel generators has emissions of “criteria
pollutants”68 carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO ), sulfur oxides (SO ), as well as PM andxx10
PM2.5. Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is of special concern because it is a carcinogen. In addition,
diesel fuel combustion results in emissions of the greenhouse gases (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2),
methane (CH ) and nitrous oxide (N O). Equipment that uses line power generally has lower criteria42
pollutant and GHG emissions because electric utilities obtain at least some of their energy from
sources other than fossil fuel, such as solar, nuclear and hydroelectric generation.
5.6 NoiseꢀEmissionsꢀandꢀControlsꢀ
For a previous project, UltraSystems reviewed the results of five sets of field measurements of noise
from rock crushing operations. These are summarized in Tableꢀ5.5‐1. Because the distance between
the noise source and the sound level meter varied from study to study, the measurement data have
been normalized to a distance of 50 feet, assuming a “soft” surface along the transmission pathway.
The mean and 95th percentile values for this data set were 87.4 and 88.9 dBA, respectively. These
values are comparable to those of onsite construction equipment such as graders and excavators.

6.2 CityꢀofꢀJurupaꢀValley,ꢀCaliforniaꢀ
In a recent development agreement ordinance,78 the City of Jurupa Valley required the Pedley
Crossing shopping center project, which included onsite rock crushing during construction, to install
baghouses on equipment used for rock or concrete crushing to limit particulate matter emissions.
Additional measures considered to limit PM10 and PM2.5 emissions include water spraying during
loading and unloading of earthen materials, covering and watering hauled and transported dirt, sand,
gravel or soil, and maintaining at least six inches of freeboard in accordance with § 23114 of the
California Vehicle Code. All vehicles on the construction site must travel at speeds less than 15 miles
per hour and all material stockpiles subject to wind erosion during construction activities, and which
will not be utilized within three days, must be stabilized with extra water, chemical stabilizers or
temporary covers.
The agreement required an extensive set of mitigation measures for noise from rock crushing in cases
where a line of sight exists between the crushing equipment and residential areas within 900 feet. To
limit noise impacts from crushing, a net 20-foot-high break either by a depression of the processing
plant or a berm made of material spoils will be created on the site. Noise blanket panels with a Sound
Transmission Class (STC) rating of 25 or greater will be mounted on vertical steel supports to provide
a 20-foot-high surface. Natural topography which breaks the line of sight will be considered to meet
the purposes of this mitigation measure. Should the City of Jurupa Valley determine that a direct line
of sight between the crusher and residential structures within 900 feet of the crusher continues to
exist with placement of the berms and/or sound blankets, the City may mandate taller features such
that the line of sight is blocked. If noise levels produced by haul trucks are found to create a significant
impact by increasing noise levels by 5 dB or more at any residential dwelling, then the project
applicant must either limit the number of trucks per hour hauling material from the site or relocate
the haul route onsite to reduce noise levels.
For impacts related to unidentified prehistoric archaeological resources within the Traditional Use
Area, the Tribal Monitor will be allowed onsite at times when the Project Archaeologist is conducting

any authorized grading, defined as compacting, drilling, rock crushing or splitting, bulldozing,
clearing, dredging, digging, filling and blasting, at any construction site, except on Mondays through
Fridays during a week between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. and, provided a variance has been
obtained in advance from the city manager, on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It also states that any

At the City’s request, UltraSystems gathered information on the availability of alternative means of
managing potentially recyclable demolition debris from construction sites. Our goal was not to
perform a comprehensive evaluation of these alternatives, but rather to identify them for future
consideration.79 The following things can be, and are, done to handle concrete demolition debris and
solid rock materials that are present on a construction site:
Haul the material to a landfill for permanent disposal.
Haul the material to an offsite facility (landfill, quarry, recycler etc.) for crushing and sale of
product to that facility’s customers.
Haul the material to an offsite crusher, have it crushed, and return the product to the
construction site for use in construction.
Crush the material onsite and use it in construction.
Crush the material onsite and sell it to a building materials vendor.
The following information was obtained through online searches and correspondence and
conversations with material industry representatives.
Several companies within or very near the city of San Bernardino offer services for the recycling or
disposal of concrete and asphalt. Tableꢀ7.1‐1ꢀidentifies 12 firms that can provide concrete debris
and/or rock management services. Tableꢀ7.1‐2 summaries services provided and one-way driving
distance from the center of San Bernardino.80
A Construction Waste Management Plan (CWMP) must be submitted to the City before starting a
project. This will estimate how much debris will be generated and specify how it will be managed. A
proper CWMP will depend on the lot location and size, the amount and makeup of the debris, the
budget, and the time constrictions of a project. For example, with extra time, concrete can be cleaned
and separated from steel or brick so it can be recycled and diverted from landfills. Once the project
has concluded, the City requires copies of waste hauler invoices; receipts from recycling facilities or
landfills; or a reuse certification. Considering CALGreen’s 2019 construction waste management
requirement to divert at least 65 percent of nonhazardous waste from landfills, it would be efficient
to reuse the concrete material back onsite or on nearby projects. The City may also sell it to the public
directly from the project site, but this depends on how quickly the material needs to be cleared from
the lot. Sending the concrete to recycling facilities where it can be recycled into aggregate or new
concrete products is another way to divert it from landfills.
We spoke with five recycling companies that accept self-hauling of concrete located between 4.7 and
27.1 miles from the center of San Bernardino. Recycling facilities do not usually need a waste profile

*Inert = clean material free of plants, garbage, paper, glass, wood, metal
portable crushing plants and can produce between 500 and 3,500 tons per day. The final products
are Caltrans Section 26 Class 2 aggregate base and Public Works Section 200 Crushed Miscellaneous
Base materials. There are usually no daily limits for incoming materials at either recycling facilities
or landfills, however, they prefer to be notified of large drop-offs so they can plan accordingly. Some
facilities have size limits for the debris so it is best to call them beforehand when self-hauling large
riprap. For example, Ramco has a maximum size of 30 inches and Phelan transfer station has a
maximum size of four feet; meanwhile, Vulcan Materials Company in Corona does not have a size
limit and will accept very large pieces of rock.
If recycling is not an option due to contaminated debris, most landfills will accept construction
material. If the debris could be hazardous the landfill must be informed to determine if a waste profile
is required so it is disposed of properly. Landfills like Mid-Valley Landfill Garbage dump, Heaps Peak
Disposal Site, San Timoteo Sanitary Landfill, and Phelan Transfer Station may be more convenient
options for dropping off concrete with mixed material such as rebar, brick, and dirt. Recycling and
landfill facilities can be contacted to answer any questions about materials they do or do not accept.
If concrete needs to be moved around there are companies like Dave Henry Trucking and East Valley

quality regulations, such as SCAQMD Rule 403, which requires mitigation of fugitive dust (see
Sectionꢀ4.1.3.3).
7.2 ComparativeꢀAirꢀPollutantꢀEmissionsꢀ
To put the information presented so far into perspective, we analyzed the following scenarios for a
situation in which 10,000 tons of rock or concrete debris are already on a project site:
A. Loading the debris into dump trucks and hauling it to a landfill.
B. Hauling the debris to an offsite crushing facility, crushing it and returning product to the
construction site.
C. Crushing the rock or concrete onsite with a portable crushing system.
The objective of this analysis was to compare criteria and air pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions for the three scenarios.
7.2.1 Assumptionsꢀ
A detailed list of assumption data references, along with calculations, are in Attachmentꢀ3. Tableꢀ
7.2‐1ꢀshows the major assumptions, some of which are common to all scenarios. The power rating of
the electric generator is equivalent to 750 kW, which has been reported as the size generator for a
portable rock crushing plant.81

7.2.2 Resultsꢀ
Tableꢀ 7.2‐2 and Tableꢀ 7.2‐3 show the uncontrolled and controlled criteria pollutant emission
estimates, respectively, for each scenario. Scenario A, not unexpectedly, has the lowest emissions.
The highest, emissions are for the Scenario B, which assumes trucking of demolition debris offsite for
crushing and then returned trucking with usable product. Note that in both Scenario B and Scenario
C, uncontrolled NO emissions would exceed the SCAQMD’s CEQA threshold for NO , for operations,x x
which is 55 pounds per day. As seen in Tableꢀ7.2‐3, use of Tier 4 Final-compliant generators and
loaders would bring the NO emissions below that threshold. In Scenario B, the NO emissions arexx
just under the limit. Tableꢀ 7.2‐4 shows estimated GHG emissions for the three scenarios. The
controls that reduce the criteria pollutant emissions were assumed not to affect GHG emissions. The
reported values are for all activities defined for each scenario, from a discrete starting point to a
discrete ending point.

using any combination of the following features
surrounding the crusher:
Depression of the processing plant below
grade and/or construction of a berm from
materials spoils or stacked crushed rock
to achieve a net 20-foot-high break in the
direct line of sight to the closest
residences.
Mounting of noise blanket panels with a
Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of
25 or greater. The sound blanket must be
mounted to vertical steel supports to
form a 20-foot-high solid surface without
cracks or gaps.
The berm and/or sound blankets must be placed
as close as reasonably possible to the crusher,
while allowing adequate space for vehicle
movements and material handling.
Implementation of this measure is only required
where a direct line of sight exists between the
crusher and residential land uses within 900 feet
of the crusher. Natural topography which breaks
the line of sight will be considered to meet the
purposes of this mitigation measure. Should the
City of Jurupa Valley determine that a direct line
of sight between the crusher and residential
structures within 900 feet of the crusher
continues to exist with placement of the berms
and/or sound blankets, the City may mandate
taller features such that the line of sight is
blocked.

NoiseꢀImpactꢀ4.10‐1:ꢀConstruction-period noise MitigationꢀMeasureꢀ4.10‐2: Noise
impacts from haul trucks may result in a
substantial temporary or periodic increase in
ambient noise levels in the project vicinity.
ꢀ
measurements prepared to the satisfaction of
City staff will be conducted once the rock crusher
facility is fully operational and material is being
removed from the site to ensure compliance with
the City’s thresholds. If noise levels produced by
haul trucks are found to create a significant
impact by increasing noise levels by 5 dB or more
at any residential dwelling, then the project
applicant must implement one or more of the
following mitigations to reduce the noise
increase to below the 5 dB threshold:
Limiting the number of trucks per hour
hauling material from the site.
Relocation of the haul route on-site to
reduce noise levels to residential areas.

Implementation of the project could result in
significant impacts to unidentified prehistoric
archaeological resources within the Traditional
Use Area identified by the Soboba Band of
Luiseno Indians and Morongo Band of Mission

MitigationꢀMeasureꢀ4.4‐3: Prior to the issuance
of grading permits, the developer/permit holder
will provide evidence to the City that appropriate
Native American representative(s) will be
allowed to monitor ground disturbance activities
and have received or will receive a minimum of
15 days advance notice of mass grading activities
in previously undisturbed soils. The length of
advance notice may be reduced by the City if a
Treatment and Disposition Agreement approved
by the appropriate Native American
ꢀ
representatives provides for a shorter
notification period. The monitor will be known as
the “Tribal Monitor” for the project. A Treatment
and Dispositions Agreement will be prepared to
address the treatment and ultimate disposition of
cultural resources which may include
repatriation and/or curation in a facility
approved by the City of Jurupa Valley. The Tribal
Monitor will be allowed on-site at times when the
Project Archaeologist is conducting
archaeological monitoring during initial ground-
disturbing activities and excavation of each
portion of the project site including clearing,
grubbing, tree removals, grading, trenching,
stockpiling of materials, rock crushing, structural
demolition, etc. The Tribal Monitor will have the
limited authority to temporarily divert, redirect
or halt the ground disturbance activities to allow
identification, evaluation, and potential recovery
of cultural resources in coordination with the
Project Archaeologist. The developer/permit

Public Hearing
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: October 4, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Mary Lanier, Interim Agency Director of Community & Economic
Development
Department:Community & Economic Development (CED)
Subject:Approval of the Draft Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to the US
Department of Housing and Urban Development (All Wards)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Conduct a public hearing on the draft Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (FY22-23 CAPER); and
2. Authorize its submission to the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
Executive Summary
Each year, the City of San Bernardino is required to submit its accomplishment data for
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership
(HOME), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) programs to the Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) via the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation
Report (CAPER) report. The submission of the accomplishments must be approved by
the Mayor and City Council and a public hearing conducted.
Background
Every year the City receives CDBG, HOME, and ESG program funds from HUD. The
purpose of the funds is to assist the City in meeting the affordable housing and community
development goals and objectives, in the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan, particularly
for persons and families of low- to moderate-income.
In order to identify the areas of greatest need and highest priorities in the community, the
Packet Pg. 626

City undertakes a planning process known as the Consolidated Plan Cycle. This process
is documented by three reports:
1. One Five-Year Consolidated Plan;
2. Five annual Action Plans; and
3. Five annual CAPERs.
Consolidated Plan
The Consolidated Plan serves four primary functions:
1. It is a planning document for the community that is built upon public participation
and input.
2. It serves as the application for HUD’s formula grant programs (CDBG, HOME, and
ESG) which focus on providing decent housing, suitable living environments, and
expanded economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income families.
3. It identifies the City’s needs in the areas of housing, homelessness, community
development, and economic development, and puts forward the City’s strategies
and timetables for addressing those needs; and
4. It serves as a five-year planning document for the use of HUD funds and the
implementation of programs that will meet local needs. The current Five-Year
Consolidated Plan covers July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2025.
Annual Action Plan
The Action Plan describes specific projects and activities the City will undertake, as well
as the financial resources it will use to meet the affordable housing and community
development needs for a specific fiscal year. The 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan was
approved by the Mayor and City Council on July 20, 2022, and is the third of five Annual
Action plans under the current Consolidated Plan.
Discussion
The City is a direct recipient of Community Planning and Development formula grants
from HUD. As an entitlement city, the City is required to provide a report to HUD on its
performance in meeting the housing and community development goals and objectives
in its approved Five-Year Consolidated Plan. This performance report is called the
CAPER.
CAPER Summary
This report is the third year CAPER under the current Consolidated Plan, which outlines
the City’s actual accomplishments for the period of July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.
It also describes the City’s progress in meeting the goals and objectives outlined in the
City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan.
CDBG and ESG Programs
During FY 2022-23 reporting period, the City of San Bernardino received $3,598,406.00
in CDBG and ESG funds.

The City continues to make progress toward meeting its long-term goals. The FY22-23
CAPER contains detailed descriptions of annual goals and accomplishments.
(Attachment 1). City staff continues to achieve the goals and objectives of the
Consolidated Plan. Staff's assessment of the FY22-23 CAPER indicates there was
activity in fair housing/landlord-tenant assistance, street outreach homeless prevention,
and improvement of facilities and infrastructure.

Citizen Participation
Federal regulations require that the FY22-23 CAPER be made available to citizens for
public comment and to be considered by the City Council at a public hearing. In
accordance with HUD guidelines, a notice was published in El Chicano on September 14,
2023, and in the San Bernardino Sun on September 18, 2023, inviting the public to
comment on the draft CAPER. The CAPER was also made available on the City’s
website, the City’s Information Center, the City’s Housing Division office, and the
Feldheym Library.
2020-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
The authorization for submittal of the FY22-23 CAPER to HUD meets Key Target 3:
Improved Quality of Life, specifically Goal 3a: Reduce the burden of the unsheltered
through engagement, collaboration, and partnerships with other entities.
Fiscal Impact
The submission of the CAPER does not have an impact to the City's General Fund. The
activities described in the CAPER were funded entirely with federal funds from HUD. The
submission of the CAPER is a condition for the City to continue receiving federal funds.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino: conduct
a public hearing on the draft Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Consolidated Annual Performance

91.520(a) This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed
throughout the program year.
The City of San Bernardino (City) is a direct recipient of Community Planning and Development
formula grants (e.g., Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership, and
Emergency Solutions Grant). As an Entitlement City, the City is required to provide a report to
the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on its performance in
meeting the housing and community development priorities listed in its approved Five-Year
Consolidated Plan. This report is called the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report
(CAPER) and is due to HUD 90 days from the end of each program year. This Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) outlines the City’s actual accomplishments for the
second program year period of the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan, of July 1, 2022 through
June 30, 2023. It also describes the City’s progress in meeting the goals and objectives outlined
in the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan FY 2020-2024.

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and
specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority
activities identified.
City staff continues to achieve the goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan. The City
prioritizes the use of its CDBG funding for housing and community development activities,
including the preservation and conservation of affordable housing and activities that serve low-
and moderate-income households. In 2022 the City:
•Assisted 1,214 low income residents with investigation, education, reconciliation, and/or
referral of housing discrimination complaints free of charge through the Inland Fair
Housing Mediation Board (IFHMB). IFHMB offers workshops to educate housing
providers, tenants, homeowners, and financial and lending institutions on fair housing
laws.
•Provided financial assistance to five (5) income-qualified, San Bernardino homeowners
for repairs to their homes through the Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program.
The City completed the construction of three (3) homes, on an infill lot, to create
affordable housing opportunities. This program improves neighborhoods by utilizing
vacant and blighted lots for new owner-occupied housing. The City and the CHDO partner,
Neighborhood housing Partnership Services, are marketing these affordable units for sale
to households at 50% to 80% of AMI for the County of San Bernardino.
•Worked in partnership with the Inland Empire Small Business Development Center, to
promote and host small business/entrepreneur workshops to which 12 San Bernardino
small businesses were assisted. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, workshops had to be
postponed.
•Completed the following street improvements in March 2023: 532 Ramona Avenue (Ward
1); 2129 Wall Avenue (Ward 2); 938 N. G Street (Ward 2); 140 W. 13th Street (Ward 2);
2060 E. 18th Street (Ward 7); Grape Street (Walnut to Mill Street) (Ward 3); and Davidson
Avenue (Baseline to 14th) (Ward-6).
•Initiated Citywide Pavement rehabilitation for 3 locations; 10th Street between F Street
and G Street, 49th Street between Sepulveda Avenue to the end, and Rialto Avenue from
Mt. Vernon and Muscott. The completion is expected in January 2024.
•Funded through City ARPA funds, the Small Business & Nonprofit Grant Program provided
grant funding in the first round to 105 recipients, including nonprofits & small businesses.
These funds were to be spent on working capital expenses to help recipients recover from
the impacts of COVID. We will have a second round of funding with lower grant award
amounts.

The City of San Bernardino will continue to evaluate and assess the goals and outcomes identiifed
in the 2020-2024 Five Year Consolidated Plan. For FY 2022-2023, progress toward meeting the
City's third year of the five-year goals and objectives was a challenge.
The shorfall between the City's one-year goal and the actual was due to the City needing to
prioritize and work with the chronically homeless through the City's street outreach
program. The chronically homeless are difficult to house.
Additionally due to a change in the Housing and Homelessness Divions of the City’s Economic
Development Department, not all metrics were successfully captured.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through: Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing
their individual needs.
The City hired a full-time Homeless Services Coordinator who coordinated services in the
community. The Coordinator builds relationships with the homeless service providers in the city.
We are now able to guide the homeless and refer over those who are experiencing homelessness.
We were able to send over homeless verification, and they rapidly secured her a shelter family
unit for us. Whereas in the past the person is directed to 211 and they get to them when they
can which takes months and that’s not if they fall through the cracks and can't be located. Our
street outreach team responds rapidly and is dedicated to our city limits only. Before, we had to
use county teams and non-profits that serve the whole county and at capacity with clients. We
now have plans that have been approved by the council to build a city shelter exclusively for the
chronically homeless, the street outreach team is meeting in the parks and streets. Non-
congregate style and dog friendly.
The City's Homeless Street Outreach Team continues to provide daily mobile outreach to the
most service-resistant homeless population in San Bernardino. San Bernardino County Point-In-
Time Count (PIT) data have indicated a need to support programs that serve people experiencing
homelessness. The 2022 PITs count for the City is 1,350 which accounts for 40.5% of San
Bernardino County’s total count.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City is an active member of the San Bernardino CoC and fully supports the goals and
objectives of the San Bernardino County 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness. To reach out to
homeless persons and assess their individual needs, the City will continue to support the CoC’s
coordinated entry system, 2-1-1 San Bernardino County. The Coordinated Entry System will
provide people who are at imminent risk of becoming homeless (HUD Homeless definition
(Category 2) with problem solving support to retain current housing and or to locate permanent
housing.
The City will continue to fund Lutheran Social Services Southern California (LSSC) to provide an
emergency men’s shelter. LSCC will provide 150 homeless persons in the City of San Bernadino
with emergency shelter. The City has partnered with Step Up on Second to provide street
outreach services to 150 homeless persons and assist them with obtaining their vital documents,
housing navigation, transportation to appointments and placement in permanent housing. The
City will also be working with the Salvation Army to provide emergency shelter for 100 persons,
Packet Pg. 645
CAPER 17
focusing on women and women with children. The Salvation Army San Bernardino Hospitality
House operates several programs within its 21-room facility. Currently there are 21 units/rooms
of transitional housing for families, three units/rooms set-aside for emergency shelter for families
and one room with six beds for single females experiencing homelessness. Total residential
capacity is 82 beds but is often over capacity due to cribs and family size.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being
discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities,
mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and
institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing,
health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
The City of San Bernardino continues to fund various non-profit organizations that address the
needs of low income residents that are at risk of becoming homeless. The City of San Bernardino
recognizes that homelessness is a regional issue that impacts every community in the region. As
the largest community in the County, the City also serves as a hub for service providers. The City
supports the efforts of the network of agencies working to end homelessness through the
Regional Continuum of Care Strategy. The Continuum of Care Strategy involves four key
components, one of which is homeless prevention. The provision of preventative services will
decrease the number of households and individuals who will become homeless and require
emergency shelters and assistance. The City is working to prevent persons from becoming
homeless by funding emergency rental assistance for households at-risk of homelessness.
Utilizing its HOME dollars, the City funded the acquisition of the Golden Apartments a 21-unit
apartment complex that has been rehabilitated and converted into 38 one-bedroom apartments
of supportive housing for homeless persons. Residents moved into their new one-bedroom flats
in December 2019. Golden has onsite health and mental health services available through the
Department of Behavioral Health and Molina Health.
The City is beginning Phase 1 of its Homeless Outreach Prevention Education Campus (HOPE
Campus) to provide Emergency Shelter. This temporary emergency shelter will provide
emergency shelter for the City’s homeless while construction of the campus is underway. HOPE
Campus will feature non-congregate shelter units, laundry facilities, kitchen facilities, secure
storage for personal items, and supportive services. The project is the recipient of HOME ARP
funds.

permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
As noted above, the City provides ESG funds to two shelters:
•Lutheran Social Services Southern California (LSSSC) providing emergency shelter for men.
•Salvation Army to provide emergency shelter focusing on women and women with
children at their San Bernardino Hospitality House.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City has a significant inventory of publicly assisted rental housing affordable to low-income
households. Eighteen affordable rental housing developments in the City offer income/rent-restricted
housing for approximately 2,205 very low-income households.
The City falls within the jurisdiction of the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB).
HACSB administers the Housing Choice Voucher Program, which provides rental assistance to eligible
residents of San Bernardino by providing monthly rental assistance to participants who want to rent from
a private landlord, but cannot afford the entire monthly rental payment.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership
The City does not own any public housing units, and therefore has not undertaken efforts to encourage
public housing residents to become more involved in the management of public housing units. The City
collaborates with the HACSB to encourage public housing residents to contribute and participate in the
management and HACSB has a homeownership program for residents of public housing. In FY 21-22, the
City utilized HOME program income for the Arrowhead Grove, formerly known as Waterman Gardens
Public Housing Community, for phase 2 of the multi-phase Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) project.
Phase two entails the building of 147 affordable units for mixed-income family apartments to households
with 30% to 60% of AMI.
As for homeownership opportunities, in 2022 the City implemented an Infill Housing Program that uses
HOME funds to construct housing units on City-owned or Redevelopment Agency owned parcels which
are sold to low-income qualified homebuyers. The City helped 2 familys become first time homebuyers.
The City also has initiated a Housing Program that will acquire distressed properties within San
Bernardino, rehabilitate them, and sell them to income-qualified homebuyers. The City will work with
HACSB, to identify any households who may be eligible for the Housing Choice Voucher Program. The City
also works with Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board and Neighborhood Partnerships Housing
Services, Inc. to provide First Time Homebuyer workshops to educate potential borrowers in the complete
process of purchasing a home. These agencies also provide other services such as Default/Foreclosure
Prevention and Reverse Mortgage counseling services; and financial education workshops that help
homeowners preserve their housing.
Packet Pg. 648
CAPER 20
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) accepts applications for Section 8 Project-
Based housing for families and senior households. Each year HUD reviews and scores the housing
authority’s Section 8 program management based on 14 different criteria. This score is a reflection of how
well the Housing Authority manages the Section 8 waiting list, the physical quality of housing assisted with
Section 8 and the financial management of the program. As a “Moving to Work Demonstration” provider,
HACSB is not subject to the traditional Public Housing Authority (PHA) and Section Eight Management
Assessment Program (SEMAP) scoring; however, HACSB is a “High Performer” agency per HUD standards
In 2022, the latest year for which data is available, HACSB provided 10,461 housing choice vouchers
throughout San Bernardino County, assisting 24,229 individuals. Of those 10,461 housing choice vouchers,
2,4320 were issued to San Bernardino City residents.
The City will continue to support the efforts of HACSB in the administration of the Housing Choice Voucher
and maximize the use of those funds and other resources in San Bernardino.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the
Consolidated Plan calls for the investment of CDBG and/or HOME funds to preserve and rehabilitate
housing units and provide homeownership opportunities to low and moderate-income households.
For FY 2022-2023, the City will continue to fund its Infill Housing Program and its Owner-Occupied
Residential Rehabilitation Program (OORP). The OORP will be funded with carryover funds from last year
that were not fully expended. Through the City’s Infill Housing Program, the City will acquire, rehabilitate
vacant and/or underutilized parcels of land and create housing affordable to low- and moderate-income
households. The Owner-Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program will provide deferred loans for the
rehabilitation of single-family units owned by low and moderate-income households. Housing Programs -
City of San Bernardino (sbcity.org)
Although the City no longer has access to redevelopment funds, the City will continue to leverage its CDBG
and HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources, including land conveyed to the
City for the purpose of creating affordable housing for low- and moderate- income households.
The City has also undertook a major effort to eliminate constraints, with respect to land use regulations,
by developing and adopting a new Development Code that unified and simplified the City’s development
regulations and processes. That effort was followed by a reorganization of the City to unify the various
development-related departments into a single Community Development Department and a one-stop
permit counter. The City has made the following additional amendments to the Municipal Code in order
to further reduce barriers to affordable housing:
1. General Lot Consolidation Incentive - Small, individual lots offer limited development potential,
and generally cannot support onsite property management. Development opportunities could be
increased through a small-lot consolidation program that offers a 15 percent density bonus for projects
with a residential component that are committing to a maintenance plan and having on-site management.
The City is anticipating amending the Development Code to incentivize lot Consolidation.
2. Density Bonus Provisions - Density bonus projects can be an important source of housing for
lower-and moderate-income households. The City anticipates amending the Development Code to reflect
the latest amendments to State density bonus law.
Packet Pg. 650
CAPER 22
3. Transitional and Supportive Housing - The City plans to amend the Development Code to
adequately define transitional and permanent supportive housing and permit these uses based on unit
type, in accordance with Senate Bill 2.
4. Streamlined Processing - The City is committed to continuing the streamlining of development
activities and regulations and will continue to analyze potential programs that seek to eliminate land use
constraints, particularly as related to the provision of new housing and rehabilitation of existing housing.
The City amended its Development Code in 2012 to make it more user-friendly and to minimize confusion
for staff and the development community. As part of the Development Code update, the City also
introduced a new streamlined type of Conditional Use Permit: the Minor Use Permit (MUP). The MUP is
reviewed by the Development/Environmental Review Committee rather than the Planning Commission,
which requires less staff time (and a relatively shorter process for developers), lower fees, and can be
used in lieu of a CUP for certain qualified projects.
5. The City will update its General Plan.
General Lot Consolidation Incentive - Small, individual lots offer limited development potential, and
generally cannot support onsite property management. Development opportunities could be increased
through a small-lot consolidation program that offers a 15 percent density bonus for projects with a
residential component that are committing to a maintenance plan and having on-site management. The
City is anticipating amending the Development Code to incentivize lot consolidation and the reuse
conversion of commercial space to housing.
Density Bonus Provisions - Density bonus projects can be an important source of housing for lower and
moderate income households. The City will amend the Development Code to reflect the latest
amendments to State density bonus law.
Transitional and Supportive Housing - The City plans to amend the Development Code to adequately
define transitional and permanent supportive housing in order to eliminate confusion and facilitate the
review and approval process for this housing type.
Streamlined Processing - The City is committed to continuing the streamlining of development activities
and is applying for an SB2 planning grant that will assist with streamlining.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
To address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, the City will allocate CDBG, uncommitted HOME,
and ESG funds through the Action plan in projects that provide financing for affordable housing
development, housing rehabilitation, job creation, public facility/infrastructure improvements, and

homeless prevention. Lack of resources is the primary obstacle to meeting underserved needs. To
leverage additional ongoing resources for housing and homeless services, the City will utilize Permanent
Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds which are administered by the State Department of Housing and
Community Development. In 2021 the City received approximately $1.6 million in PLHA funds and
expects to receive approximately $7.8 million over the next four years.
The City will also support HACSB’s efforts to obtain additional rental assistance funding, especially for
seniors and lower-income households.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
An estimated 17,809 housing units occupied by low- and moderate-income households in San Bernardino
may contain lead-based paint; this constitutes approximately 27% of the City's housing stock. To reduce
possible lead-based paint hazards, the City has taken the following actions:
•Included lead testing and abatement procedures in all rehabilitation activities, where appropriate.
•Monitored the lead-poisoning data maintained by the San Bernardino County Department of
Health Services.
•Educated owner occupants, participating in City funded rehab programs on the health hazards of
lead-based paint through the use of brochures and encouraged screening children for elevated
blood-lead levels.
•Sent housing staff to the Lead Safe Housing Rule Amendment Training. Sent subrecipient/CHDO
staff to the Lead Safe Housing Rule Amendent Training.
Procedurally, the City will continue to monitor the HUD website for any revisions to the lead-paint hazards
regulations and ensure that the City’s policies and procedures remain current.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
•The CoC’s coordinated entry system, 2-1-1 San Bernardino County provides persons who are at
imminent risk of becoming homeless with problem-solving support to retain current housing or
to locate another housing placement.
•Service providers, provide street outreach, rapid re-housing, homeless prevention, emergency
shelter, and other essential services to homeless and near-homeless persons and families.
•The improvement of streets that align the City’s Capital Improvement Projects with the greatest
impact on the neighborhoods.
•Street reconstruction improvements, sidewalk replacement, and Americans with Disabilities Act
improvements.
•Further, the development of the HOPE Campus to assist homeless or at-risk for homeless
Packet Pg. 652
CAPER 24
individuals and families.
•The First Time Homebuyer program (Infill Housing), which instead of requiring that a family resell
their home to another low-income household, utilizes recapture provisions to allow a family to
capture the equity in their house, thus accumulating wealth which is the most effective way of
reducing the number of poverty level households.
•The City funded five (5) subrecipients under the ESG grant: Community Action Partnership of San
Bernardino County, which they assisted clients with Homelessness Prevention; Family Service
Association of Redlands, that assisted clients with Emergency Shelter/Motel Voucher, and
Homelessness Prevention; Lutheran Social Services assisted clients with Emergency Shelter; Step
Up on Second assists clients with Street Outreach; and The Salvation Army Hospitality House,
which they assisted women and children with Emergency Shelter.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
There are a variety of agencies, local governments, non-profit organizations, businesses and financial
institutions that play a vital role in carrying out San Bernardino’s housing and community development
goals and objectives. The relationships and interaction of these entities as they work toward achieving
these goals and objectives is referred to as institutional structure. As the lead for the City's 2020-2024
Consolidated Plan, the City’s Community and Economic Development Department analyzes its
performance in addressing the community’s housing and community development needs and develops
strategies to improve its institutional structure.
The City has revised its policies and procedures for CDBG, OORP, and ESG. The City has an organizational
chart for its Community and Economic Development Department and Housing Division functions. If and
when the opportunity arises, City staff will attend trainings such as HEROS, HOME, IDIS, CDBG, and Lead
Based Paint. In conjunction with other City departments, such as Public Works, Parks, Recreation and
Community Services, staff will continue to identify the community's greatest needs and allocate resources
accordingly. Staff will continue to work with for-profit and non-profit developers and lenders to facilitate
the improvement, preservation, and/or creation of affordable housing opportunities for low and
moderate income households within the City.
Furthermore the City of San Bernardino Community & Economic Development Department will continue
consulting with and inviting a wide variety of agencies and organizations (i.e., CoC, HACSB, National CORE,
County of San Bernardino Community Development and Housing Agency, etc.) involved with the delivery
of housing and social services to low- and moderate-income San Bernardino residents. This will allow to
coordinate the City's activities by not duplicating efforts and to know what other agencies are
doing. Currently, the City is working with the Center for Community Investment and Dignity Health
(Accelerating investments for Healthy Communities). The City's collaboration with CCI and Dignity Health
Packet Pg. 653
CAPER 25
has resulted in the investment of $1.2 million in permanently affordable rental housing in the City. These
types of collaborations build the capacity for the City to continue providing affordable housing.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
During PY 2022-2023, the City made the following progress toward improving communication and
coordination between itself, nonprofit service organizations, and residents:
•The City has developed a two year affordable housing pipeline to identify projects and capital
needs.
•Consulting with a wide variety of agencies and organizations such as HACSB, County Workforce
Development, County Department of Behavioral Health and County Office on Aging and Adult
Services involved with the delivery of housing, supportive services and economic development to
low- and moderate- income San Bernardino residents.
•Workforce Development, to provide job placement services for person in the County and also
provides up to three months of paid on the job training and any equipment that an employee may
require to carry their new job. The City recently established a partnership with the Mexican
Consulate’s “Emprendedoras” program. The program partners with the Small Business
Administration and the City’s Micro Enterprise program to provide Spanish language training for
persons interested in launching a small business or expanding an existing small business. Through
the City’s partnership with the “Emprendedoras” program, the City will cross promote the services
available through Workforce Development.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the
jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)
Each year the City pledges to affirmatively further fair housing and take appropriate actions to overcome
the effects of the impediments to fair housing that are identified in the City’s five-year planning document
called the Analysis of Impediments (A.I.) to Fair Housing Choice (A.I.). HUD guidance indicates that the City

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of
the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs
involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
As the lead for the City's Consolidated Plan, the Community and Economic Development Department is
continually improving its standards and procedures to monitor the performance and effectiveness of
housing and community development activities. The Community and Economic Development Department
is responsible to monitor all housing projects and federal compliance of housing and non-housing projects
funded with CDBG, HOME, and ESG. It undertakes two types of monitoring: program monitoring (which
includes the Minority Business Outreach efforts) and Consolidated Plan monitoring. Both types of
monitoring ensure the success of Consolidated Plan projects and activities.
Program Monitoring The City implements several monitoring techniques in which to assess the
effectiveness of its activities. These techniques include a mandatory Subrecipient Training Workshop with
its subgrantees to discuss methods for complying with federal and city requirements prior to the start of
the fiscal year, and a combination of desk review and on-site monitoring techniques to ensure on-going
compliance of Federally-funded activities.
Minority Business Outreach As an Entitlement recipient of CDBG, HOME and ESG funds, the City of San
Bernardino is required to provide business opportunities to minority and women-owned businesses in
connection with the activities funded through the CDBG, HOME, and ESG grant. To comply with these
requirements, the City participated in outreach events for disadvantaged business enterprises, posted its
bid documents on the City's website and other e-Procurement websites where potential bidders may
obtain these request for bids through the internet. The City also encourages MBE-WBE firms to compete
for CDBG, HOME and ESG construction contacts. City staff ensures the Contractor-Subcontractor Activity
Report and the MBE-WBE Summary report is submitted to the HUD as required.
Consolidated Plan Monitoring Staff oversaw the planning and budgeting process to ensure that federally-
funded activities were consistent with the Consolidated Plan’s identified high- and possibly medium-
priority objectives and grant requirements. Staff also provided technical guidance regarding program
structure, income requirements, and document compliance. For IDIS, staff gathered quarterly program
statistical reports and updated all necessary fields from setup to completion of each project and activity.
Environmental reviews records were prepared for each federally-funded activity and monitoring of
construction activities that triggered Davis-Bacon and Federal Labor compliance was conducted. The City
will continue to monitor the progress of its PY 2022-2023 Consolidated Plan goals and objectives and make
any necessary adjustments to ensure the effective use of these federal dollars.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Each year, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding for housing
and community development programs to the City of San Bernardino, specifically Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and other federal housing funds. To receive these funds, the City must
complete a report every five years called the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan is carried out
through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific
federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific
goals identified by the Consolidated Plans.
The City is an entitlement jurisdiction and will receive the following federal grants:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
This could be a restatement of items, or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to
another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs
assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.
The City of San Bernardino has identified a range of housing and community development needs in
accordance with the structure presented in HUD regulations 24 CFR 91.215 affordable housing,
homelessness, and non-housing community development. Priority is assigned based on the level of need
demonstrated by the data collected during the plan preparation, specifically in the Needs Assessment and
the Market Analysis, the information gathered during the consultation and citizen participation process,
and the availability of resources to address these needs. Based on these components, housing needs are
considered a high priority, particularly low-income ownership housing and transitional housing with
supportive services for the homeless population. Out of the top ten priority needs, the feedback from
citizen participation indicated that the top four pressing concerns of the City are:
Homelessness and homelessness issues (i.e., supportive housing)
Access to affordable housing
Street infrastructure (i.e., road maintenance and street lighting)
Joblessness/job creation

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
1. Introduction
The City views the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan as an opportunity to engage the community
in the CDBG, HOME, and ESG investment process. The City encourages their residents to voice their needs
and concerns regarding homelessness, affordable housing, and community development. All members of
the public, especially those living in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, are encouraged to
participate in the planning stages. The goal of the consultation process was to gather data to help
determine the priority needs. The City also coordinates and collaborates with various service providers
to identify specific needs or certain vulnerable populations.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and
service agencies (91.215(l))
The City has been working in partnership with the Housing Authority of the County of San
Bernardino (HACSB) and County Community Development and Housing Agency to redevelop 251
units of public housing at the former Waterman Gardens public housing project (now known as
Arrowhead Grove). The City is also working in partnership with National CORE, an Inland Empire
CHDO, and the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino in the development of
Arrowhead Grove.
The City partners with Neighborhood Partnership Housing Services (NPHS), a CHDO, for the
administration of an owner-occupied, single family rehabilitation program.
Housing Partners I, also a CHDO, and NPHS partners with the City to build new single family,
ownership housing on vacant and blighted lots throughout the city, in order to increase
homeownership among households at and below 80% of Area Median Income.
The City coordinates with the County Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) in an ongoing
exchange of information and resources available to persons who are experiencing homelessness
and mental health crises. The City has also partnered with DBH in the Golden Apartments project
where DBH provides the case management services for the formerly homeless residents who live
with mental illness.
The City has also been working on investment strategies for housing and health with Dignity
Health. Dignity Health’s Community Investment program provided a $1.2 million dollar loan for
the construction (which is currently underway) of Arrowhead Grove Phase 3, which will result in
the construction of a 184 mixed income development, with 147 units reserved for low-income
households.
The City has been consulting with the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino and the
Community Development and Housing Agency of the County of San Bernardino concerning lead-

based paint hazards as it relates to rehabilitation of owner-occupied single-family homes. The
City has also consulted with HUD’s environmental office regarding lead-based paint and staff
attended the most recent lead-based paint training provided onsite at the HUD Los Angeles
office.
The City has been in coordination with the San Bernardino Unified School District with their Uplift
San Bernardino initiative. Uplift San Bernardino is focused on the future of the youth community,
such as launching the future workforce into local jobs; ignite Upward Mobility in the community;
convene leadership work groups to change systems & policies; effectively inspire community
voice & engagement to inform better decisions & increase access to opportunities especially for
youth; create shared understanding of issues & opportunities based on research & data; mobilize
people and resources to fill in gaps identified between systems and promote accountability
through a transparent history of Uplift’s decisions, progress, & learning.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The City recognizes the needs to address people experiencing homelessness, particularly the chronically
homeless populations. The City collaboratively works with four entities throughout the County of San
Bernardino. The following entities are:
1) Interagency Council on Homelessness
2) Homeless Provider Network
3) Central Valley Steering Committee
4) San Bernardino County Behavioral Health Administration, Office of Homeless Services
These entities comprise of policy-making bodies, advisory groups of faith-based and non-profit housing
organizations, collaborative organization among City jurisdictions, and committees established specifically
to assist those experiencing homelessness. The “10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness in San Bernardino
County” guides the actions and serves as a blueprint to end homelessness in the County of San Bernardino.
Concurrently, the City of San Bernardino also actively participates in the Continuum of Care (CoC) and is
fully supportive of the objectives of the 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness in San Bernardino County
plan. Bessine Richard represents the City on the board of the Interagency Council on Homelessness. The
City’s Police Department support and participates in the Point-in-Time (PIT) Homeless County. The
Community & Economic Department requires their ESG subrecipients to participate in the CoC’s Homeless
Management Information System (HMIS). This software application is designed to collect client-level data
and data on the provision of housing and services to homeless individuals, families, and person at-risk of

homelessness. Lastly, the City funds four organizations through the ESG programs that provide street
outreach, emergency shelter, homeless prevention services, rapid rehousing and HMIS.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
The City closely works with the CoC and attends its regularly scheduled meetings and trainings in the area
of homelessness. The City consults with the Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH), which has not
less than one former homeless member, in regard to funding recommendations. The discussions at the
ICH meetings are comprised of updates on HMIS and a monthly data quality report is provided illustrating
the number of clients enrolled in the non-profit organizations using HMIS. The updates are helpful in
evaluating the outcomes of projects and activities assisted with ESG. Other topics of discussion include
presentations to the Office of Homeless Services on activities from the San Bernardino County Reentry
Collaborative regarding workshop meetings to discuss updating their strategic plan, and a Community
Recidivism Reduction Program. A Veterans Initiative from the Housing Authority of the County of San
Bernardino (HACSB) has continued to develop creative and effective ways to address the needs of the
County’s homeless veterans. Over the past year, HASCB, along with the support and efforts of our affiliate
non-profits, KEYS and HP1 Inc., has created housing opportunities for homeless veterans.

Per HUD regulations, ESG recipients must match 100 percent of their ESG annual allocation. For those organizations that received ESG funds,
agencies met the match requirement through utilization of volunteerism, in-kind contributions, and funds from other local, state, and federal
programs.
In addition, HUD requires HOME recipients to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation. In accordance with 24 CFR 92.222, when a local
jurisdiction meets one of the distress criteria, it is determined to be in fiscal distress and receives a 50 percent reduction of match. The FY 2021-
2022 match reductions are not available as of date of this writing. However, in FY 2022-2023, the City received a 100 percent match reduction due
to severe fiscal distress. The City of San Bernardino will continue to leverage its HOME funds with other housing resources as required. Any funds
that are used in a HOME activity in excess of the required match will be documented by the City and reported to HUD as part of the Consolidated
Annual Performance and Evaluation Report each year.

may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
With the dissolution of the redevelopment agency, successor agencies with real property assets are
required to dispose of the properties pursuant to the City’s Long-Range Property Management Plan or
Housing Asset Transfer (HAT) Plan. The Successor Agency has transferred all property listed on the
Housing Asset Transfer list to the City as the Successor Housing Agency. The City will determine the
development and/or disposition of these properties in the following months.
Discussion
The Housing Successor Agency has a disposition plan for the parcels and the City will retain some for
economic development purposes, sell a number of the parcels and retain others for housing. The majority
of the properties are single family parcels that the city intends to utilize for the construction of single-
family ownership housing.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
The City will use its funding for FY 2022-2023 to fund a variety of housing, community development,
economic development, and capital improvement projects. The majority of federal funds will be used to
finance projects targeting low- to moderate-income individuals and families throughout the City.
CDBG Benefit Service Areas are defined as geographic locations within the City of San Bernardino where
51 percent or more of the households in those areas are low- to moderate-income.
The City of San Bernardino has become increasingly diverse in its racial and ethnic makeup. Over the past
decades the City has seen a shift from a non-Hispanic, White majority to a Hispanic Origin
majority. According to the U.S. 2020 Census, approximately 66.2 percent of the population is of Hispanic
Origin, 14.4 percent is Non-Hispanic, White, 13.2 percent is Black, and 4.1 percent is Asian, and 8.1 percent
is comprised of two or more races.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
The funding available under the 2022-2023 Action Plan may be used to meet a variety of community
development and housing needs. As part of the development of the 2022-2023 Action Plan, the City
established priority needs based on an in-depth analysis of the several factors housing, homelessness,
poverty, special needs, lead hazards, institutional structure, etc. The City will utilize its federal funding to
pursue goals and objectives listed in the section “AP-20 Annual Goals and Objectives” of this
document. The City’s primary intent is to spend its CDBG funds in predominantly low-income
neighborhoods where residents have the greatest need for housing/services.
Discussion
As noted previously, the City does not allocate funds on a geographic basis, instead, funds are allocated
to organizations that provide low-income households with housing and supportive services. On an annual

basis, the City prioritizes the use of its CDBG funding for housing and community development activities,
including preservation and conservation of affordable housing and activities that serve low- and
moderate-income households.
Public improvements and public facilities are qualified as benefitting low- and moderate-income persons.
Activities identified under the public service category and targeted to special needs populations are
offered on a citywide basis and/or where resources can be coordinated with existing facilities or services.

Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
As a reflection of the Housing Needs Assessment of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, housing problems
within the City of San Bernardino include: 1) Units with physical defects; 2) overcrowded conditions; and
3) housing cost burden. The City will use CDBG and HOME funds to pursue three affordable housing goals:
1) Preserve and Rehabilitation Housing, 2) Expand Home Ownership Opportunities
Preserve and Rehabilitate Housing
Approximately 67 percent of both owner-occupied housing (18,125) and rental units (20,735) were built
prior to 1980. In general, housing begins to require major repairs after 30 or 40 years of age. Those repairs
could include important health and safety repairs such as for heating/air systems, roof, kitchen appliances,
bathroom or kitchen plumbing, and insulation. Many low- to moderate-income households may be unable
to afford these needed repairs. In the City of San Bernardino, substandard housing conditions may consist
of the following: structural hazards, poor construction, inadequate maintenance, faulty wiring, plumbing,
fire hazards, and inadequate sanitation. Substandard units suitable for rehabilitation are those units
where the total rehabilitation costs do not exceed 25 percent of the after-rehabilitation value (Data
Source: 2011-2015 ACS).
Expand Home Ownership Opportunities
There is a need for affordable housing in San Bernardino. The most prevalent housing problems within
the City is cost burden and overcrowded conditions. San Bernardino has a population of 214,115 persons
and a total of 57,547 households. Nearly 59 percent of households in San Bernardino (33,760 total) qualify
as low- to moderate-income, earning up to 80 percent of HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI).
Families who pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing are considered cost burdened and
may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation, and medical
care. Overcrowded conditions exist when more people are living within a single dwelling than there is
space for, so that movement is restricted, privacy is compromised and levels of stress increase.
Low-moderate income (LMI) renter households experience housing problems at a higher rate (60 percent)
than LMI owner households (44 percent).
Many of San Bernardino’s extremely low-income households (42 percent) are small families (four persons
or less), which shows a need for smaller (one, two, or three bedroom) affordable housing units.
The City’s housing market has increased over the past few years. In 2015, the median income in the City

Packet Pg. 708
Annual Action Plan

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
was $37,047, a 16 percent increase, with an MHV of $159,800, which would make most homeowners cost
burdened. In 2020, the median income in the City was $49,287, a 18 percent increase, with an MHV of
$272,600, which would make most homeowners cost burdened.
Based on the 2015-2019 ACS, the median income would be sufficient for a renter to afford $1,059 in
housing costs per month, which includes rent and utilities, and not be cost burdened; 37 percent of the
City’s renter population pays $999 or less per month.

Provide Assistance to Renter Households
The City has a significant inventory of publicly assisted rental housing affordable to low-income
households. Eighteen affordable rental housing developments in the City offer income/rent restricted
housing for approximately 2,205 very low-income households. A total of 15 projects, with a combined
total of 1,627 affordable units, are at risk of losing their affordability status. HACSB does not anticipate
losing affordable housing units due to expiration of contracts in the next five years. These projects are
technically considered at risk of converting to market-rate housing. However, most of these projects are
non-profit owned senior housing which will receive priority for rental of subsidy contracts with
HUD. Therefore, it is unlikely that the projects will convert to market-rate housing.
Nonetheless, the City will periodically reach out to owners of assisted projects to understand their
intentions for opting out of the Housing Choice Voucher Program or pursuing financial restructuring in

order to extend the terms of affordability.
The City also will continue to work with qualified Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO)
to acquire and construct or rehabilitate multifamily housing as long-term affordable housing for lower-
income households.
Discussion:
The table “One Year Goals for the Number of Households to be Supported” consists of 349 non-homeless
households to be supported. New Infill Housing construction of three (3) for-sale single family homes
citywide is planned (incomes will range from 50% to 80% of Area Median Income (AMI)).

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
Public housing and other assisted housing programs are crucial elements of the City’s efforts to address
affordable housing needs of low- and moderate-income families, senior citizens, disabled individuals, and
other individuals.
The City falls within the jurisdiction of the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB).
This agency administers the Housing Choice Voucher Program, which provides rental assistance to eligible
residents of San Bernardino by providing monthly rental assistance to participants who want to rent from
a private landlord but cannot afford the full monthly rental payment. The Housing Choice Voucher
program is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
In 2019, the latest year for which data is available, HACSB provided 10,798 housing choice vouchers
throughout San Bernardino County, assisting 25,331 individuals. Of those 10,798 housing choice vouchers,
2,694 were issued to San Bernardino City residents.
The City will continue to support the efforts of HACSB in the administration of the Housing Choice Voucher
and maximize the use of those funds and other resources in San Bernardino.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
To assist HACSB in addressing public housing needs, the City will do the following:
Monitor At-Risk Units
The City will maintain contact with the owners of at-risk units, encourage the owner to keep the at-risk
units affordable and utilize, if feasible, local incentives to preserve any at-risk units.
Support and Assist Local Non-Profit Organizations
In order to develop or preserve the City’s affordable housing stock, the City will provide technical and/or
financial assistance to local non-profit organizations that provide affordable housing.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
Because the City does not own any public housing units, the City has not taken efforts to encourage public
housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership. However,
the City collaborates with the Housing authority of the County of San Bernardino to encourage public
housing residents to contribute and participate in the management and HACSB has a homeownership
program for residents of public housing.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
As for homeownership opportunities, the City has initiated an 750 Housing Program that will acquire
distressed properties within San Bernardino, rehabilitate them and sell them to income qualified
homebuyers. The City will work with HACSB, to identify any households who may be eligible for the
Housing Choice Voucher Program.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino has not been designated as troubled. Actually, it
has a moving to work designation which is a designation that a limited number of PHAs across the country
have.

There is no discussion relative to the designation of the county PHA.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction
According to the San Bernardino County 2020 Homeless PIT Count, there were 1,056 homeless persons in
the City. A total of 183 individuals were sheltered, 50 in transitional housing, and 823 were unsheltered.
To address this issue, the City will allocate approximately $294,725 in ESG funds to homeless service
providers who are skilled at transitioning homeless individuals and families from homelessness to
permanent housing through a variety of activities including street outreach, homeless prevention, rapid
re-housing, emergency shelter and essential services.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City is an active member of the San Bernardino CoC and fully supports the goals and objectives of the
San Bernardino County 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness. To reach out to homeless persons and
assess their individual needs, the City will continue to support the CoC’s coordinated entry system, 2-1-1
San Bernardino County. The Coordinated Entry System will provide people who are at imminent risk of
becoming homeless (HUD Homeless definition (Category 2) with problem solving support to retain current
housing or to locate get housing placement.
The City is continuing its contract in FY 2022-2023 with Step Up On Second, with the goal of reaching 150
homeless persons through street outreach, providing social service referrals to those persons and
facilitating the placement of 13 homeless persons into permanent housing.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City will continue to fund Lutheran Social Services Southern California (LSSC) to provide an emergency
men’s shelter. LSCC will provide 150 homeless persons in the City of San Bernadino with emergency
shelter.
The City has partnered with Step Up on Second to provide street outreach services to 150 homeless
persons and assist them with obtaining their vital documents, housing navigation, transportation to
appointments and placement in permanent housing.
The City will also be working with the Salvation Army to provide emergency shelter for 100 persons,
focusing on women and women with children. The Salvation Army San Bernardino Hospitality House
operates several programs within its 21-room facility. Currently there are 21 units/rooms of transitional
housing for families, three units/rooms set-aside for emergency shelter for families and one room with

six beds for single females experiencing homelessness. Total residential capacity is 82 beds but is often
over capacity due to cribs and family size.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City of San Bernardino recognizes that homelessness is a regional issue that impacts every community
in the region. As the largest community in the County, the City also serves as a hub for service providers.
The City supports the efforts of the network of agencies working to end homelessness through the
Regional Continuum of Care Strategy. The Continuum of Care Strategy involves four key components, one
of which is homeless prevention. The provision of preventative services will decrease the number of
households and individuals who will become homeless and require emergency shelters and assistance.
The City is working to prevent persons from becoming homeless by funding emergency rental assistance
for households at-risk of homelessness.
Utilizing its HOME dollars, the City funded the acquisition of the Golden Apartments a 21-unit apartment
complex that has been rehabilitated and converted into 38 one-bedroom apartments of supportive
housing for homeless persons. Residents moved into their new one-bedroom flats in December
2019. Golden has onsite health and mental health services available through the Department of
Behavioral Health and Molina Health.
San Bernardino County’s 10-Year Strategy for Ending Homelessness was recalibrated in 2013 to focus on
a rapid re-housing approach that is also consistent with a Housing First Model. This approach is intended
to minimize the amount a time an individual or family remains homeless or in shelters. The Housing First
Model also focuses on homeless prevention by emphasizing the need to keep individuals and families in
their current housing if appropriate.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded
institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster
care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
The City will continue to support the regional CoC’s efforts to implement the San Bernardino County 10-
Year Strategy for Ending Homelessness. This plan includes a recommendation to focus on discharge
planning in order to prevent people from becoming homeless when they are discharged from correctional,

foster care, health care, or mental health care systems. The McKinney-Vento Act requires that State and
local governments have policies and protocols in place to ensure that persons being discharged from a
publicly funded institution or system of care are not discharged immediately into homelessness. In order
to meet HUD’s requirements, the 10-Year Strategy has established a Discharge Planning Committee to
focus on improving coordination between discharge planning agencies, local government, and homeless
service providers in order to implement a “zero tolerance” plan that will prevent persons being discharged
into homelessness.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
The City recognizes that barriers to affordable housing exist and continues to employ strategies to
overcome them. Policies can create barriers to the production of affordable housing and residential
investment because such factors increase costs. The high cost of affordable housing and residential
investment can be contributed to the following:
Lack of Affordable Housing Funds: The availability of funding for affordable housing has been severely
affected by the dissolution of redevelopment agencies. Prior to 2012, redevelopment activities and
funding were the City’s primary tool for assisting with neighborhood revitalization efforts and production
of affordable housing. The loss of this funding represents a constraint for the City of San Bernardino’s
efforts to continue to support neighborhood revitalization. Now the City relies on private resources,
federal grant programs, state resources, and philanthropy to fund affordable housing projects.
Environmental Protection: State law (California Environmental Quality Act and California Endangered
Species Act) and federal law (National Environmental Policy Act and Federal Endangered Species Act)
regulations require environmental review of proposed discretionary projects (e.g., subdivision maps, use
permits, etc.). Costs and time delay resulting from the environmental review process are also added to
the cost of housing.
Site Improvements: Many parts of San Bernardino are undeveloped and lack adequate pedestrian and
automobile infrastructure to support new residential subdivisions. All new residential development is
required to provide sidewalk with curbs and gutters and must be served by appropriate roadways
consistent with the General Plan Circulation Element and adopted road development standards. The cost
of these improvements increases the cost of development but is necessary to facilitate pedestrian and
vehicular access and movement in the City.
Planning and Development Fees: Planning and development impact fees, such as for transportation,
water, and sewer infrastructure improvements, often add to the overall cost of development. The City’s
fees reflect the fair share of the costs of providing permitting, infrastructure, and services for new
residences.
Permit and Processing Procedures: Builders and developers frequently cite the cost of holding land during
the evaluation and review process as a significant factor in the cost of housing. The City of San
Bernardino’s development review process is designed to accommodate growth without compromising
quality. Project quality is of critical concern, as the City faces challenges in securing foreclosed single-
family homes and poorly maintained multifamily complexes.
State and Federal Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wages: The State Department of Industrial Relations (DIR)
expanded the kinds of projects that require the payment of prevailing wages. Prevailing wage adds to the

Packet Pg. 716
Annual Action Plan
2022-2023
46
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
overall cost of development. A prevailing wage must also be paid to laborers when federal funds are used
to pay labor costs for any project over $2,000 or on any multi-family project over eight units. Based on
discussions with developers, various prevailing wage requirements typically inflate the development costs
by 35 percent.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The City undertook a major effort to eliminate constraints, with respect to land use regulations, by
developing and adopting a new Development Code that unified and simplified the City’s development
regulations and processes. That effort was followed by a reorganization of the City to unify the various
development-related departments into a single Community Development Department and a one-stop
permit counter. The City has made the following additional amendments to the Municipal Code in order
to further reduce barriers to affordable housing:
1. General Lot Consolidation Incentive - Small, individual lots offer limited development potential,
and generally cannot support onsite property management. Development opportunities could be
increased through a small-lot consolidation program that offers a 15 percent density bonus for
projects with a residential component that are committing to a maintenance plan and having on-
site management. The City is anticipating amending the Development Code to incentivize lot
Consolidation.
2. Density Bonus Provisions - Density bonus projects can be an important source of housing for
lower-and moderate-income households. The City anticipates amending the Development Code
to reflect the latest amendments to State density bonus law.
3. Transitional and Supportive Housing - The City plans to amend the Development Code to
adequately define transitional and permanent supportive housing and permit these uses based
on unit type, in accordance with Senate Bill 2.
4. Streamlined Processing - The City is committed to continuing the streamlining of development
activities and regulations and will continue to analyze potential programs that seek to eliminate
land use constraints, particularly as related to the provision of new housing and rehabilitation of
existing housing. The City amended its Development Code in 2012 to make it more user-friendly
and to minimize confusion for staff and the development community. As part of the Development
Code update, the City also introduced a new streamlined type of Conditional Use Permit: the
Minor Use Permit (MUP). The MUP is reviewed by the Development/Environmental Review
Committee rather than the Planning Commission, which requires less staff time (and a relatively
shorter process for developers), lower fees, and can be used in lieu of a CUP for certain qualified
projects.
5. The City will update its General Plan.

Discussion:
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the
Consolidated Plan calls for the investment of CDBG and/or HOME funds to preserve and rehabilitate
housing units and provide homeownership opportunities to low and moderate-income households.
For FY 2022-2023, the City will continue to fund its Infill Housing Program and its Owner-Occupied
Residential Rehabilitation Program (OORP). The OORP will be funded with carryover funds from last year
that were not fully expended. Through the City’s Infill Housing Program, the City will acquire, rehabilitate
vacant and/or underutilized parcels of land and create housing affordable to low- and moderate-income
households. The Owner-Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program will provide deferred loans for the
rehabilitation of single-family units owned by low and moderate-income households.
Although the City no longer has access to redevelopment funds, the City will continue to leverage its CDBG
and HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources, including land conveyed to the
City for the purpose of creating affordable housing for low- and moderate- income households.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
To address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, the City will allocate CDBG, uncommitted HOME and
ESG funds through the Action plan in projects that provide financing for the affordable housing
development, housing rehabilitation, job creation, public facility/infrastructure improvements and
homeless prevention. Lack of resources is the primary obstacle to meeting underserved needs. In order
to leverage additional ongoing resources for housing and homeless services, the City is applying for the
Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds which are administered by the State Department of
Housing and Community Development. It anticipated that in the 2021 the City can receive up to $1.6
million in PLHA funds.
The City will also support HACSB’s efforts to obtain additional rental assistance funding, especially for
seniors and lower-income households.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City will continue to invest HOME funds to expand the supply of affordable housing and will use HOME
funds to preserve and maintain existing affordable housing through the City of San Bernardino’s Owner-
Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Program. The City will continue this program using re-programmed funds
from the previous year’s allocation.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
To reduce lead-based paint hazards, housing constructed prior to 1978 and assisted through the City of
San Bernardino’s Owner-Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program will be tested for lead-based paint
hazards. If lead based-paint hazards are found, safe work practices or abatement procedures will be
included in the scope of work for the rehabilitation of the housing unit. All procedures will be in
compliance with 24 CFR Part 35.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
For FY 2022-2023, the City will support:
An Infill Housing Program that will acquire and rehabilitate/construct underutilized properties
within the City and when complete sell these homes to low- and moderate-income households
Service providers who can provide street outreach, rapid-rehousing, homeless prevention,
emergency shelter, and other essential services to homeless and near-homeless persons and
families.
The improvement of streets, along with the Infill Housing that will be taking place. These
improvements will have a greater impact in the neighborhoods.
The efforts of HACSB, who provides rental assistance and conventional housing to low-income
households.
The efforts of the CoC, San Bernardino County Behavioral Health Administration, Office of
Homeless Services and various Homeless Service Agencies to provider public and social services
to residents living in poverty, including health services, counseling, educational programs, food
distribution, academic and vocational training, youth services, and senior services.
The goals and objectives of San Bernardino County 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness.
The CoC’s coordinated entry system, 2-1-1 San Bernardino County that provides persons who are
at imminent risk of becoming homeless with problem solving support to retain current housing or
to locate another housing placement.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
During the next year, the San Bernardino Community & Economic Development Department will continue
consulting with and inviting a wide variety of agencies and organizations (i.e., CoC, HACSB, National CORE,
County of San Bernardino Community Development and Housing Agency, etc.) involved with the delivery
of housing and social services to low- and moderate-income San Bernardino residents. This will allow to

coordinate the City's activities by not duplicating efforts and to know what other agencies are
doing. Currently, the City is working with the Center for Community Investment and Dignity Health
(Accelerating investments for Healthy Communities). The City's collaboration with CCI and Dignity Health
has resulted in the investment of $1.2 million in permanently affordable rental housing in the City. These
types of collaborations build the capacity for the City to continue providing affordable housing.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
During the next year, the San Bernardino Community & Economic Development Department will continue
consulting with a wide variety of agencies and organizations such as HACSB, County Workforce
Development, County Department of Behavioral Health and County Office on Aging and Adult Services
involved with the delivery of housing, supportive services and economic development to low- and
moderate- income San Bernardino residents. Workforce Development, for example, provides job
placement services for person in the County and also provides up to three months of paid on the job
training and any equipment that an employee may require to carry their new job. In the realm of
economic development, the City recently established a partnership with the Mexican Consulate’s
“Emprendedoras” program. The program partners with the Small Business Administration and the City’s
Micro Enterprise program to provide Spanish language training for persons interested in launching a small
business or expanding an existing small business. Through the City’s partnership with the
“Emprendedoras” program, the City will cross promote the services available through Workforce
Development.
Discussion:
The implementation of the FY 2021-2022 Action Plan will invest federal resources to address obstacles to
meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards,
inspection of HOME units, reduce the number of families living in poverty, develop institutional structure,
and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.

2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for
homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
HOME Recapture Provision If Buyer at any time during the Period of Affordability sells or transfers
the Eligible Property, whether voluntarily or involuntarily due to foreclosure or other circumstance,
the following provisions shall apply, pursuant to 24 C.F.R. Part 92.254:
(a) If Buyer sells or transfers the Eligible Property within the first two years of the Period of
Affordability, City shall recover from the Net Proceeds, if any, the entire amount of the HOME Subsidy,
or such lesser amount as the Net Proceeds may permit to be recovered. The Net Proceeds are the
sales price paid to Buyer minus repayment of loans that are superior in priority to this Affordable
Housing Covenant and the Deed of Trust securing it, and any closing costs.
(b) If Buyer sells or transfers the Eligible Property after occupying the Eligible Property for at least
two years (24 months from the Delivery Date), City’s recovery from the Net Proceeds shall equal the
amount of the HOME Subsidy, reduced by a percentage determined by dividing the number of Buyer’s
full years of occupation of the Eligible Property by the number of years of the Period of Affordability,
and multiplying the result by 100. In calculating recapture of the HOME subsidy only full 12-month
periods of occupancy will be utilized in the calculation. For example, if Buyer sells or transfers the
Eligible Property during the third year, before the completion of the full third year of a ten-year Period
of Affordability, the percentage reduction of the amount of the HOME Subsidy to be recovered by City
shall equal 20 percent:
(2 years ÷ 10 years) × 100 = 20. Assuming sufficient Net Proceeds, City would recover 80 percent of
the HOME Subsidy. If there were not sufficient Net Proceeds, City would recover 80 percent of Net
Proceeds, whatever the amount.
(c) In no event shall City’s recovery exceed the amount of the Net Proceeds.
The City requires that its CHDO/subrecipients, who carry out HOME funded ownership
programs, utilize the noted recapture provisions, which are part of the affordability covenant
executed by the homeowner and recorded against the property.
In its homeownership and single-family rehabilitation programs the City utilizes the homeownership
limits for the San Bernardino Metropolitan/FMR Area provided by HUD.

Measured from the Delivery Date and determined based on the amount of the HOME Subsidy, as
follows:
Amount of HOME Subsidy Period of Affordability
Less than $15,000 5 years
$15,000 to $40,000 10 years
More than $40,000 15 years
The City's affordability covenant requires that HOME units acquired with HOME funds remain
affordable for the period noted based on the amount of HOME subsidy. The City requires that its
CHDO/subrecipients who carry out HOME funded ownership programs utilize the noted recapture
provisions, which are part of the affordability covenant executed by the homeowner and recorded
against the property.
In its homeownership and single-family rehabilitation programs the City utilizes the homeownership
limits for the San Bernardino Metropolitan/FMR Area provided by HUD.
4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is
rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that
will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:
The City will not be undertaking any refinancing of existing debt secured by multifamily housing that
is rehabilitated with HOME funds. The City will not undertake the refinancing of single-family units
rehabilitated with HOME funds. With regard to eligible beneficiaries, the City will adhere to the
requirements under 24 CFR 2.203 with regard to income determinations; 92.216 with respect to
incomes of applicants; 92.253 with regard to tenant protections and selection and other HOME
regulatory requirements that ensure beneficiaries are not precluded from participating in HOME
funded programs.

Plan to End Homelessness. Preference is given if a program has the ability to help the City meet federal
program objectives and local priorities. Organizational capacity, experience, and past performance
are also considered.
Based on this review, Community and Economic Development Department staff prepares general
funding recommendations. Lastly, a public hearing before City Council will be held to consider the
2021-2022 Draft Annual Action Plan. The City Council adopts the Annual Action Plan, which acts as
the CDBG, HOME and ESG program annual budget. Upon completion of this process, the City forwards
the adopted Annual Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for
approval.
4.If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR
576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with
homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions
regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.
The City of San Bernardino attends and participates, on a quarterly basis, the Interagency Council on
Homelessness (ICH). The ICH is a vital component of the San Bernardino County Homeless
Partnership. The ICH serves as the policy making body of the Partnership and oversees the
implementation of the 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness in San Bernardino County. The ICH will
focus on resource development to insure the funding of homeless projects and 10-Year Strategy
recommendations. In addition, ICH serves as the HUD-designated primary decision-making group and
oversight board of the City of San Bernardino & County (hereinafter referred to as the “geographic
area”) Continuum of Care for the Homeless (CA-609) funding process, (hereinafter referred to as the
“CoC”). There are currently former homeless individuals that participate in the policy making
decisions of the CoC, regarding facilities or services that receive ESG funding from the City.
The ICH is charged with directing, coordinating, and evaluating all of the activities related to
implementation of the 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness. The ICH members are directed to
report progress on the implementation of the 10-Year Strategy to their colleagues and constituents
following each meeting of the ICH. The ICH will promote collaborative partnerships among homeless
providers and stakeholders throughout San Bernardino County in order to carry out implementation
activities and will develop resources to insure the funding of homeless projects and 10-Year Strategy
recommendations.

Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of San Bernardino (City) is an entitlement City that receives federal funding from the US
Department of Housing and Urban and Development (HUD). The City receives funds through the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, HOME Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME), and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG).
The CDBG entitlement program provides formula funding to cities and counties to address community
development needs. Seventy percent of gross funding must be used to serve low- to moderate-income
households. Eligible activities must meet one of the following national objectives for the program:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons
• Prevent or eliminate slums or blight
• Address community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose
a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community for which other funding is not
available
The HOME entitlement program provides formula grant funding for a wide range of activities including
building, purchasing, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership and providing
direct rental assistance to low-income households. The program’s flexibility allows states and local
governments to use HOME funds for grants, direct loans, loan guarantees or other forms of credit
enhancements, or rental assistance or security deposits.
The ESG program provides formula grant funding to cities and counties to engage homeless individuals
and families living on the street, rapidly re-house homeless individuals and families, help operate and
provide essential services in emergency shelters for homeless individuals and families, and prevent
individuals and families from becoming homeless.
The Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) is a five-year planning document. This plan covers the period from
fiscal year 2020-21 through fiscal year 2024-25. The purpose of the ConPlan is to guide a jurisdiction to:
• Assess their affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions;
• Make data-driven, place-based investment decisions; and
• Conduct community-wide discussions to identify housing and community development priorities that
align and focus on eligible activities for CDBG funding.
Recipients of CDBG and HOME funding must also prepare and submit to HUD an Annual Action Plan
(AAP) that describes in detail, each year, how the ConPlan will be carried out. The AAP must provide a
concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be
used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the ConPlan. Additionally, at
the end of each fiscal year, jurisdictions must complete and submit to HUD a Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to report on the accomplishments and progress toward the
Packet Pg. 735
Demo
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 3
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
ConPlan’s goals.
The City anticipates approximately $15,000,000 in CDBG funds, $6,000,000 in HOME funds, and
$1,400,000 in ESG funds during the 2020-2025 ConPlan period.
2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment
Overview
The objective of the Needs Assessment is to gather information from the community and all partners, as
well as demographic and economic data regarding the City’s homeless population, need for affordable
housing, special needs population, and community development needs. This information is used to
make data-driven decisions to establish priority community needs and strategies based on current
conditions, expected funds, and local capacity. Through data collection, outreach, and analysis
presented in this plan, a clear outline of the City’s priority needs is formed, along with the projects and
facilities that are most likely to aid in the City’s development.
A summary of needs identified in the City of San Bernardino include:
•Rehabilitation of single-family owner-occupied housing and rental units
•Housing for households below 80% area median income
•Expanding homeownership
•Homeless services and homeless prevention services
•Economic development
•Improvement of facilities and infrastructure
•Fair housing services
See Needs Assessment (NA) section beginning on page 26 for additional discussion on these identified
needs.

Strategic Plan Summary
3. Evaluation of past performance
The City’s CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds successfully contributed to several projects over the last five
years. Those projects have contributed to improved housing affordability and expanded economic
opportunities for low- and moderate-income households.
Affordable Housing. HOME funds were used to construct new homeowner housing and CDBG funds
were used to rehabilitate existing housing. For example, in FY 2018-2019, three new homeowner units
were added, and seven homeowner houses were rehabilitated. Additionally, in FY 2019-2020, the City
anticipates adding eight new single-family ownership units for households earning between 50 and 80
percent AMI.
Fair Housing. CDBG funds were used to contract with the Inland Fair Housing Mediation Board to
provide fair housing services, including landlord/tenant mediation, housing counseling, alternative
dispute resolution, and senior services to San Bernardino residents. For example, in FY 2018-2019,
approximately 2,700 residents were served. For FY 2019-2020, the City anticipates serving
approximately 3,300 residents.
Homelessness. ESG funds were used to connect homeless individuals to services, such as street
outreach, rapid rehousing, emergency shelter, and homeless prevention services. As of FY 2018-19, 566
people were served through these programs. Additionally, in FY 2018-2019, the City assisted in the
acquisition and rehabilitation of a 38-unit apartment complex to assist homeless households into

permanent supportive housing. In FY 2019-2020, the City anticipates serving 350 persons experiencing
homelessness.
4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
Robust community engagement was achieved through engaging a diverse group of stakeholders to
identify priorities, concerns, and values. The feedback provided through the community engagement
process supported the development of this ConPlan, including the development of housing and
community development needs, priorities, goals, and strategies for funding allocation.
For the purposes of this plan, the community outreach included residents, business owners, and interest
groups. Targeted outreach was provided to youth, elderly, racial and ethnic minorities, renters and
property owners, and business owners across the City. Leveraging existing stakeholder contacts,
recognizing underrepresented stakeholders, and identifying new stakeholders was integral to the
process of reaching the greater San Bernardino community and ensuring a broad depth of participation.
The City announced the various community engagement opportunities through its social media,
newspaper noticing, and email blasts.
Members of the public had the following opportunities for participation and comment, all of which were
offered throughout San Bernardino during the ConPlan process:
•Public Meetings: Walk-in meetings were held across the City so that members of the public
could describe what needs and concerns they see in their community.
•Housing Summit: A housing summit was held for community leaders, agency representatives,
service providers, planning professionals, developers, and business owners to learn and
exchange information about the current state of housing and development in the City.
•Stakeholder Interviews: Various local organizations were interviewed to receive feedback on the
most pressing priorities and needs of target populations.
•Pop-Up Events: Structured for short interactions, the pop-up took the form of a booth set up at
an event to allow access to a specific stakeholder group. Feedback provided at pop-up events
was collected through interactive exercises (dot votes, etc.) or verbal responses to big picture
questions.
•Online Feedback Collection (Survey): To broadly access and efficiently obtain information from a
large number of geographically distributed citizens, an online survey was prepared. The survey
provided an opportunity to leave additional, relevant comments. The survey was announced
through City media outlets and disseminated through key community liaisons or stakeholders
with access to resident and community groups, business owners, and interest groups.
A detailed summary of community engagement, including participation, methods, and feedback, can be
found in Sections PR-10 (Consultations) and PR-15 (Citizen Participation) of this ConPlan.

stakeholder input, and consideration of City resources, goals, other relevant plans, and policies. The
results of this combined effort and analysis is the City’s five-year Strategic Plan for the allocation of
CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds and activities. These funds will focus on preserving affordable housing,
improving community facilities and infrastructure, providing public services to homeless individuals, and
improving neighborhood conditions.

1. Introduction
The consultation section of the ConPlan provides detailed information about the agencies, offices, staff
and interested parties that were interviewed or consulted during the engagement process.Â
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(I)).
The City of San Bernardino created a comprehensive community engagement program. Community
engagement is key for helping the City to identify needs, priorities, goals, strategies, and activities for
future housing and community development activities over the five-year Consolidated Plan period.
Engagement activities included a community survey, community meetings, pop-up events, a housing
summit, and stakeholder consultations.
As a part of the stakeholder consultation process, the City consulted with a variety of stakeholders,
including local and regional community-based organizations, health and mental and behavioral health
care providers, and housing service organizations.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness
Homelessness. During the development of its ConPlan and Annual Plans and as a general practice, the
City coordinated with a variety of housing/shelter organizations, public and mental health agencies, and
service providers to discuss community needs. Examples of those consulted include Salvation Army
â¿¿ Hospitality House, Dignity Health, Inland Valley Recovery Services, and Community Action
Partnership of San Bernardino County; for a complete list see Table 2 below. Their collective feedback
was especially valuable in gathering information and shaping priorities for this plan as it relates to
special needs populations, general health, and mental health services in the City. Through this process,
the City interviewed the Continuum of Care (CoC) to ascertain the needs of homeless individuals
throughout the City as well as the organizational needs and challenges of the CoC itself. The CoCâ¿¿s
feedback will be used to shape the goals identified in this ConPlan, which will then address the needs of
homeless individuals in the City.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate
outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS

The San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership (SBCHP) is the administrator of the regional CoC,
which serves the entire County. The City continuously coordinates with the CoC to end and prevent
homelessness in the County. The CoC is a group composed of stakeholders throughout the County,
including governmental agencies, homeless service and shelter providers, homeless persons, housing
advocates, affordable housing developers, and various private parties, including businesses and
foundations.
The SBCHP is a collaboration among community and faith-based organizations, educational institutions,
nonprofit organizations, private industry, and federal, state, and local governments. The partnership
focuses on addressing issues of homelessness within the County.
The SBCHP was developed to direct the planning, development, and implementation of the
Countyâ¿¿s 10-year Strategy to end chronic homelessness. The partnership leads the creation of a
comprehensive network to deliver much-needed services to the homeless and to families and
individuals at risk of homelessness through careful planning and coordination among all entities that
provide services and resources to prevent homelessness. The Cityâ¿¿s ConPlan is aligned with the
SBCHPâ¿¿s 10-year Strategy to end chronic homelessness.
According to the Cityâ¿¿s ESG Policies and Procedures, consultation takes place with participation of
City officials, staff serving on the CoC Governance Board, and the Advisory Committee of the CoC Board.
In these roles, the City participates in setting local priorities, certifying need, and the annual review of
ESG programs. The Community and Economic Development Department serves as the administrative
entity for the ESG and compiles program documentation which includes information about the
responsibilities of the CoC and ESG programs, HUD regulations, and policy statements such as
coordinated entry system, prioritization and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS)
participation. Compiled data is used to report on project outcomes to HUD through the ESG CAPER.

The General Plan was reviewed particularly the Natural
Resources, Energy and Water Conservation, and Utilities
chapters. The City enforces the Unreinforced Masonry Law, 1998
related to seismic changes and earthquakes. The City enforces
FEMA floodplain requirements particularly for the southeastern
portions of the City which is prone to flooding.
Table 3 – Other local / regional / federal planning efforts
Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any
adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan
(91.215(l))
The collaborative implementation of this ConPlan over the course of the next five years begins with the
coordinated efforts of multiple public agencies working together to gather feedback and information for
regional and local community needs and priorities. Once needs and priorities are identified, they are
then incorporated into the City’s ConPlan, forming both regional and local strategies for addressing
those needs and priorities.
Furthermore, community outreach to local leaders, stakeholders, and residents is a critical first step in
implementing this plan’s desired community changes. By successfully establishing relationships and trust
between the government, those providing services or community improvements, and the beneficiaries
of these services or improvements, the City and community can move toward a joint vision for what and
how to make community improvements. The agencies, groups, and organizations who participated are
listed in the table above. Other local/regional/federal planning efforts can be found above.

Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting
Outreach is essential to the City’s ability to create an accurate and effective plan, and to allocate resources appropriately. The City attempted to
reach as many residents as possible within specific demographics, such as low-income families, persons with disabilities, elderly persons, female-
headed households, and parents/guardians of children. Receiving feedback from residents, especially those who may receive assistance from
grant funds, is critical to the success of the CDBG program. The City reached out to practitioners, agencies, leaders, organizations, and
companies who may have the specialized knowledge, experience, resources, and capacity to discuss needs, opportunities, solutions,
investments, and how community improvements can be made. All City residents were encouraged to provide input on community needs
through citizen participation opportunities.
Community Needs Survey. This community survey was noticed through the newspaper, the City’s website, and distribution of flyers in both
English and Spanish. The online and paper survey was made available to the public between January 7, 2020, and February 28, 2020. The survey
was provided in English and Spanish. Data gathered from the survey provided community feedback needs for housing, public facilities,
infrastructure, homelessness, economic development, and community services, as well as on local demographic data. A copy of the survey,
along with the final results, can be found at the attached Community Engagement Summary.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
The Needs Assessment is a collection and analysis of data that assesses the extent of housing problems
and housing needs for residents of the City of San Bernardino. The assessment focuses on affordable
housing, special needs housing, community development, and homelessness. The information in this
section was gathered from HUD’s Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, American
Community Survey (ACS) data, and various other online and City resources. Stakeholder consultations
conducted with public agencies, advocates, and local experts have identified the need for transit,
workforce training, additional affordable housing in safe areas, and rehabilitation of existing units for
low- to moderate-income households. Findings are summarized below.
San Bernardino has a population of 214,115 persons and a total of 57,547 households. Nearly 59 percent
of households in San Bernardino (33,760 total) qualify as low- to moderate-income, earning up to 80
percent of HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI).A disproportionately greater need exists when the
members of racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience housing problems at a greater rate
(10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole.
Housing cost burden is the most common housing problem experienced by households in the City. As a
whole, 23 percent of households in the City are cost burdened and 26 percent are severely cost
burdened. While no households experience disproportionate need, Black/African American households
have the highest rates of severe cost burden at 33 percent. A household is considered severely
overcrowded when there are more than 1.5 persons per room and severely cost burdened when paying
more than 50 percent of household income toward housing costs. In the City, Asian households are
disproportionately affected by severe housing problems. Overall, 49 percent of LMI Asian households
have at least one severe housing problem compared to all LMI households in the jurisdiction.
The minority racial and ethnic groups were found to experience housing problems at a greater rate of
incidence than the region as whole, often exhibiting disproportionate need. Asian, Black/African
American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and Pacific Islander households are disproportionately
affected by housing problems in the City. Overall, 76 percent of LMI Black/African American households,
65 percent of LMI Asian households, 82 percent of LMI American Indian and Alaskan Native households,
and 90 percent of LMI Pacific Islander households have at least one housing problem.
The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) administers the housing choice voucher
(HCV) program across the County, including the City, and manages the public housing units in the City.
The HACSB manages multiple public housing units in the City: 154 public housing units at the
Maplewood Homes Community, 338 units at Wilson Street Apartments, 400 units at Arrowhead Grove,
and various scattered sites throughout the City. The HACSB is currently accepting applications (in early

construction in the City of San Bernardino. This property will have 116 new units for occupancy, ranging
from one to five bedrooms. In addition to public housing, there are approximately 3,000 affordable
units, and approximately 2,600 HCV holders live in the City.

NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
Identified housing needs in the City include additional housing for single persons particularly the elderly
and small families, housing that is affordable to those living below poverty levels, housing for persons
living with disabilities, safe neighborhoods, and available affordable housing for the extremely low-
income households. Additionally, supportive services such as access to affordable health care, childcare,
nutrition assistance, public transportation, and short-term financial assistance (first/last month’s rent,
security deposit, and moving costs) relieve the financial burden for extremely low-income families and
can help prevent homelessness. Rapid rehousing assistance is an integral component of San Bernardino
County’s response to homelessness.
LMI households (earning less than 80% AMI) experience housing problems at a greater rate than
households that do not fall in lower income categories. Housing problems are more frequent among
households that rent their home as compared to households that own their home.
Community engagement activities identified affordable housing and, specifically, housing programs that
support persons with disabilities and mental health issues as priority housing needs for the City.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
According to the ACS 2014-2018 5-Year Estimates, there are 11,511 single-person households in the
City, which represents 19 percent of households in San Bernardino (Table 5). Based on the ACS 2014-
2018 5-Year Estimates, single-person households are primarily persons between 35 and 64 years of age
(49 percent); however, persons over 65 years make up 38 percent of single-person households. The
housing needs of elderly persons may be more problematic to meet than for other residents since the
elderly are often living on a fixed income and many have special housing and care needs. The ACS 2014-
2018 5-Year Estimates shows that 17.2 percent of persons living below the poverty level ($12,140 for a
single-person household) are seniors over the age of 65 years.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or
victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
Persons with Disabilities: According to the ACS 2014-2018 5-Year Estimates, approximately 12.5 percent
(26,221 persons) of the population living in San Bernardino is affected by one or more disabilities. The
most prevalent disability affecting this population is ambulatory difficulties, with 53 percent of persons
experiencing disabilities having an ambulatory difficulty. This is closely followed by cognitive difficulty at
47 percent.
The symptoms and functional impairments that result from disabling health and behavioral health
conditions can make it difficult for people to earn income from employment. Income from disability
benefits, such as Supplemental Security Income, is not always sufficient to afford rent without additional
assistance. Of 348 survey respondents in the 2019 San Bernardino Homeless Point-In-Time Count, 26
unsheltered adults (7.5 percent) in the City reported to have developmental disabilities and 79
unsheltered adults (22.7 percent) reported to have a mental health disability or disorder that affect their
ability to live independently.

Victims of Domestic Violence: In 2017, the state of California saw 169,362 domestic-violence related
calls.[1] The California Department of Justice data reports that calls for services related to domestic
violence in San Bernardino County increased by 51 percent since 2014, with 12,012 calls documented in
2017—7 percent of all calls within California. ACS 2013-2107 data shows that residents of San
Bernardino County (2,121,220 persons) make up 5.4 percent of the state’s population (38,982,847
persons). Nationwide data is collected annually during a 24-hour Census period; on September 13, 2017,
19,147 domestic violence-related calls were received by local and state hotline staff of the 1,694 out of
1,873 (90%) participating domestic violence programs, and the National Domestic Violence Hotline staff
answered 2,205 calls or texts.[2] This averages more than 14 calls every minute. If this level of need
continues, the hotlines would receive more than 7.5 million calls per year; the hotlines do not include
the supportive services needed to help a victim and their family.
This reflects the larger trend of a rise in violent crime in San Bernardino County. The San Bernardino
County Community Indicator Report finds that violent crime has increased by 20 percent since 2014, and
specifically the rate of rape increased 74 percent since 2014 (California Department of Justice, 2017
data). In the state of California overall, after reaching a low in 2014, the violent crime rate increased by
13 percent from 2014 to 2017, with rape specifically increasing by 34 percent, although this drastic
increase is much lower than the County’s during the same period.[3] Domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, and stalking can be precursors to homelessness. The 2019 San Bernardino Homeless
Point-In-Time survey identified 35 persons residing in the City who were experiencing homelessness due
to fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, representing 10.1 percent of
the 348 persons experiencing homelessness residing in the City who participated in the survey.
What are the most common housing problems?
As shown in Table 7 (Housing Problems Table), housing cost burden is the most common housing
problem experienced by both renters and homeowners. Of the 57,580 households in the city, 20
percent experience severe cost burden (more than 50 percent of monthly earnings going toward
housing costs) and 16 percent experience cost burden (more than 30 percent of monthly earnings going
toward housing costs).
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems?
Forty-six percent of the City’s households are small families. Since small households comprise the largest
type of household and since 55 percent of these households are also low-income, they could be more
significantly affected by housing problems.
Across all categories (substandard housing, overcrowding, and cost burden), renter households
consistently experience housing problems at a greater rate than owner-occupied households (Housing
Problems Table). LMI renter households experience housing problems at a higher rate (60 percent) than
LMI owner households (44 percent). The disparity between renters and homeowners is most significant
for households experiencing severe housing cost burden (more than 50 percent of monthly earnings
Packet Pg. 769
Demo
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 37
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
going toward housing costs), where of the 11,629 households experiencing severe cost burden, 71
percent are renter households. This is followed by housing cost burden (more than 30 percent of
monthly earnings going toward housing costs), where 62 percent of the total number of households
experiencing cost burden are renter households. As discussed in the previous question, housing cost
burden represents the most common housing challenge.
Housing problems are predominantly experienced by extremely low-income households, particularly
extremely low-income renters. With the exception of housing cost burden, where low-income (50 to 80
percent AMI) households make up the majority of renting households experiencing cost burden,
extremely low-income households consist of at least 40 percent of renters experiencing each housing
problem. Further, extremely low-income households (renter and owner-occupied households) are more
likely to experience more than one housing problem, with over half of households (55 percent)
experiencing more than one housing problem.
Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children
(especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of
either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the
needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing
assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance
Just over 23 percent of households in San Bernardino (13,335 households) qualify as extremely low-
income (Table 6), largely unchanged since 2015 when the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan was prepared.
Small families (families of four persons or less) comprise 42 percent (5,535 households) of the City’s
extremely low-income households. Further, almost a third (4,204) extremely low-income households
have at least one child six years or younger. Compounding financial demands that affect low-income
families with small children can lead to a high risk of homelessness. Families that rely on low-wage jobs
often work nonstandard and/or inflexible hours, which can be restrictive to families with both school-
age and young children. Additionally, low-wage jobs have less access to paid leave or health insurance as
compared to high-wage jobs, further exacerbating stress on families with limited resources when
children experience injuries and illness.
As evidenced by the number of extremely low-income households experiencing housing cost burden
and severe cost burden, affordable housing is a significant need for extremely low-income households in
the City. Additionally, supportive services such as access to affordable health care, childcare, nutrition
assistance, public transportation, and short-term financial assistance (first/last month’s rent, security
deposit, and moving costs) relieve the financial burden for extremely low-income families and can help
prevent homelessness.
Rapid rehousing assistance is an integral component of San Bernardino County’s response to
homelessness. Rapid rehousing is designed to help individuals and families quickly exit homelessness
and return to permanent housing through a “housing first” approach where the recipients of assistance
do not need to graduate through a series of services before reaching permanent housing. Based on the
Rapid Rehousing Program Standards, Practices, & Model Guidelines adopted by the San Bernardino
Packet Pg. 770
Demo
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 38
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
County Homeless Partnership in January 2019, the program prioritizes a housing first approach to
assisting homeless families with children, recognizing that the crisis of homelessness is preventative to
obtaining housing and maintaining stability (such as finding affordable housing, employment, assistance
programs, etc.). By providing permanent housing quickly, the family is more likely to establish a stable
housing situation and avoid returning to homelessness. Rapid rehousing provides community benefits
through improving the effectiveness of the County’s homeless services and reducing demand for
shelters and other temporary solutions.
If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a
description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to
generate the estimates:
The City generally defines those households of extremely low incomes and those living below the
poverty status to be at risk of becoming homeless. The estimates are based on CHAS data provided by
HUD and on ACS data by the US Census Bureau, respectively.
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an
increased risk of homelessness
Housing problems and severe housing problems occur at a higher rate among very low- and extremely
low-income households. Cost burden, overcrowding, and poor housing conditions, particularly for
renters, all link to an instability in housing that can lead to homelessness. Many lowâ¿ÂÂÂÂincome
households have difficulty finding reasonably affordable, suitable rental housing. The lack of options
available for these populations leads to housing problems and severe housing problems. Households in
the very low- and extremely low-income categories live in housing above their means and face cost
burden. Alternatively, they avoid high housing costs by living in substandard housing or with other
families or extended families, which contributes to overcrowding.
Discussion
Overall, this assessment finds that:
LMI households (earning less than 80% AMI) experience housing problems at a greater rate than
households that do not fall in lower income categories. Housing problems are more frequent among
households that rent their home as compared to households that own their home.
Extremely low-income renters make up the majority of household types experiencing housing problems.
Extremely low-income households, for both renter and owner-occupied households, are more likely to
experience more than one housing problem, with over half of the households (55 percent) experiencing
more than one housing problem falling within the extremely low-income bracket.
The above findings indicate a lack of affordable housing available to lower income renters, but especially
housing that would be affordable to extremely low-income households. Results from the community

NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems – 91.205 (b)(2)
Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to
the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction
For the purposes of this ConPlan, disproportionately greater need is assumed to exist when the
percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic group is at
least 10 percentage points higher than the percentage point of persons in the category as a whole. A
household is considered to have a housing problem when their home lacks complete kitchen or
plumbing facilities, when there is more than one person per room, or when a cost burden (30% or more
of income toward housing) exists.
This section's tables demonstrate the disproportionately greater need across the lower-income levels
(0%–30%, 30%–50%, and 50%–80% of AMI). Consistently, across each of the income brackets shown
below, American Indian/Alaska Native households experience housing problems at a disproportionate
rate. Conversely, White households never exceed the jurisdictional rate for housing problems across all
households. It should be noted that the sample sizes for both American Indians/Alaska Native and
Pacific Islander households are comparatively small, which may mean the data is not accurate.

NA-20 Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing Problems – 91.205
(b)(2)
Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to
the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction
A household is considered severely overcrowded when there are more than 1.5 persons per room and
severely cost burdened when paying more than 50 percent of household income toward housing costs.
For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs
include mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, and utilities.
Per HUD definitions, disproportionate housing needs are defined as “significant disparities in the
proportion of members of a protected class experiencing a category of housing need when compared to
the proportion of members of any other relevant groups or the total population experiencing that
category of housing need in the applicable geographic area” (24 CFR § 5.152). For the purposes of this
ConPlan, a disproportionate need refers to a group that has housing needs which are at least 10
percentage points higher than the total population.

The following is an analysis of the rates of severe housing problems amongst racial and ethnic minorities
of different income categories in comparison to the overall rate of severe housing problems. Racial and
ethnic household groups that experience severe housing problems at disproportionate rate are bolded.
Overall, Asian households earning between 50-80 percent AMI disproportionately experience severe
housing problems.
Seventy-five percent of households with 0%-30% AMI experience at least one severe housing problem:
•Seventy-four percent of Black/African American households experience at least one severe
housing problem.
•Sixty-two percent of White households experience at least one severe housing problem.
•Fifty-two percent of Asian households experience at least one severe housing problem.
•Eighty-three percent of Hispanic households experience at least one severe housing problem.

NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens – 91.205 (b)(2)
Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to
the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction:
A household is considered cost burdened if they pay more than 30 percent of their household income
toward housing costs. As per HUD definitions, disproportionate housing needs are defined as
“significant disparities in the proportion of members of a protected class experiencing a category of
housing need when compared to the proportion of members of any other relevant groups or the total
population experiencing that category of housing need in the applicable geographic area” (24 CFR §
5.152). For the purposes of this ConPlan, a disproportionate need refers to a group that has housing
needs which are at least 10 percentage points higher than the total population.

Asian households are disproportionately affected by severe housing problems. Overall, 49 percent of
LMI Asian households have at least one severe housing problem compared to all LMI households in the
jurisdiction.
Citywide, 23 percent of households are cost burdened and 26 percent are severely cost burdened.
Approximately a quarter of Hispanic households and one-third of all Black/African American households
are cost burdened. However, no racial or ethnic groups are disproportionately cost burdened or severely
cost burdened.
Please see discussions in NA-15, NA-20, and NA 25 for more information.
If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs?
Stakeholder consultations have identified the need for transit, workforce training, additional affordable
housing in safe areas, and rehabilitation of existing units for low- to moderate-income households.
Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your
community?
Minority concentration is defined as a census tract where the percentage of individuals of a particular
racial or ethnic minority group is at least 20 percentage points higher than the citywide average.
Minority refers to all ethnic groups other than non-Hispanic White.
The City of San Bernardino is 60 percent White, 16.7 percent Black/African American, 5.7 percent Asian,
and 64.3 percent Hispanic (regardless of race). The map below displays census tracts in the City that

Introduction
The HACSB is the regional entity that manages and maintains housing units and administers Housing Choice Voucher programs across the
County, including the City of San Bernardino. There are approximately 2,600 voucher holders in the City of San Bernardino.
Over 10,700 housing vouchers are currently active countywide. The majority of voucher holders have a tenant-based voucher, which is a type of
voucher that allows the holder to use the voucher at any housing unit where the landlord will accept it. Currently, there are approximately
31,000 households on the Housing Choice Voucher waiting list for project-based and 23,023 for tenant-based vouchers. Some households are
duplicates.
The following tables describe the number of housing vouchers in use within the County and the demographics of those receiving vouchers. Data
on the number of vouchers in use within the City is unavailable.

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants
on the waiting list for accessible units:
As shown in the above tables, the average annual income of all vouchers holders is approximately
$14,084, which is 22 percent of the County household median income. This indicates these voucher
holders have limited income to cover basic transportation, medical, food, and personal needs. As
indicated in Table 23, 5,277 voucher holders (37 percent) have requested some type of accessible
feature, demonstrating a need. Also, given the number of persons with disabilities across the County,
the need for accessible units would be great.
Additionally, for persons with disabilities who are already on the HACSB waiting list, there is a need for
case management and comprehensive support services.
As a Moving-to-Work agency, the HACSB is implementing activities designed to increase the cost
effectiveness of federal programs and increase the amount of affordable, quality housing units. As such,
the HACSB is implementing a local project-based voucher program designed to increase the number of
affordable units, a local family self-sufficiency program to increase household income, and the No Child
Left Unsheltered program which provides Housing Choice Vouchers to eligible homeless families.
Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders
HACSB identified that the current housing program waiting lists are too long and have been closed for
quite some time. Furthermore, there is a need for applicant assistance in the housing program
application process. The most immediate need is finding housing units and property owners that will
accept vouchers.
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large
Although Housing Choice Vouchers are available to low-income households, the voucher program is
unable to accommodate all low-income households. As discussed in MA-15, there is a gap of 11,445
units for households earning between 0 to 30 percent AMI and a gap of 2,750 units for households
earning between 30 to 50 percent AMI. Moderate- and above moderate-income categories are more
able to secure affordable housing in the City.

homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth):
Subpopulation data is not available for several of catgories in the table above.
Between October 1, 2018, and September 30, 2019, 426 individuals exited homelessness from emergency shelters or transitional housing. Of
these individuals, 13 percent reentered homelessness within less than six months, 9 percent reentered between 6 and 12 months, and 2 percent
reentered between 13 and 24 months. Overall, 25 percent reentered homelessness within two years.
During the same period, the average length of time being homeless was 118 days and the median time was 56 days.
According to the County and City Point-in-Time Counts, the City has noticed an increase in homeless population since 2018. From 2018 to 2019
the homeless population increased in the City 37 percent. The County experienced a 23 percent increase over the same period of time. The
preceeding table acknowledges the number of unsheltered individuals is overwelming compared to those who find shelter and that a majority of
the homeless people have been categorized as chronically homeless individuals as well as veterans.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d)
Introduction:
The following section describes the special needs of the following populations:
•Elderly households (defined as 62 years and older)
•Persons with mental, physical, and/or developmental disabilities
•Large households
•Female-headed households
•Persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
Elderly Households (defined as 62 years and older). Many elderly people live on fixed incomes, making
housing affordability a key issue. Access to properly sized units, transit, and healthcare are also
important concerns of elderly households. Elderly households may also require residential care from
time to time. Approximately 11 percent of City residents (23,827) are 62 years of age or older.
Persons with mental, physical, and/or developmental disabilities. Persons with disabilities may require
special housing accommodations, such as wheelchair accessibility and other modifications to live
independently. Access to transit is also a high priority for this population. According to the ACS 2014-
2018 5-Year Estimates, 26,221 residents (12.5 percent) are living with a disability. Of those 65 years and
older, 46.5 percent are living with a disability.
Female Household. Female-headed households may have special needs related to accessing childcare
and other supportive services as well as an increased risk of poverty. As displayed in the table below,
female-headed households comprise 35 percent of households with children.
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these
needs determined?
Elderly, disabled, small, large, and female-headed households and households with children are a
significant portion of the City’s population and tend to have special housing needs that require diverse
types of affordable housing. HACSB does not have enough HCVs to meet the need of all special needs
households.
When surveyed during the community engagement process, residents selected “construction of new
affordable rental housing” as one of the highest priority housing needs in the community. Additionally,
Packet Pg. 792
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 60
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
stakeholder interviews identified housing for the physically disabled, mentally ill, and single women as
needs within the City.
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within
the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:
HIV/AIDS. Those living with HIV/AIDS and their families require stable and affordable housing in order to
consistently access medical care and avoid hospitalizations. On the county level, there are
approximately 4,401 people living with HIV (PLWH). Approximately 3,120 PLWH are currently in care and
2,278 are virally suppressed. Statewide, male-to-male sexual contact is the most common transmission
mode at 71.4 percent of all new cases in 2017. Black/African American individuals make up 35.2 percent
of all new transmissions, followed by Hispanic/Latinx individuals at 14.3 percent, American
Indian/Alaskan Native at 10.8 percent, Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander at 9.1 percent, White at
8.2 percent, and Asian at 6.7 percent.
Discussion:
The County provides rapid HIV testing, counseling, prevention education, AIDS Drug Assistance Program
(ADAP), and HIV clinic services for clients who do not qualify for any other medical resources.
People living with HIV/AIDs require affordable housing to maintain consistent access to medical care,
adhere to medical plans, and avoid hospitalizations. They require affordable housing that will suit their
needs, which include proximity to health care centers.

Community meetings identified the need for facilities for at-risk youth, pedestrian improvements, and
traffic-calming measures. Survey respondents identified the need for community centers, parks and
recreational facilities, youth centers, and healthcare facilities.
How were these needs determined?
The needs were determined through extensive community engagement efforts including a survey,
stakeholder interviews, community meetings, and pop-up events. The survey and pop-up events sought
to solicit feedback from City residents, while stakeholder interviews focused on community
development practitioners and experts. The survey was made available in four languages and online. In
total, 1,011 survey responses were received and approximately 12 stakeholder organizations
participated in the process. Several residents provided feedback at community meetings and pop-up
events.

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:
This overview summarizes the key points of each section of the market analysis and sets a basis for
some of the funding priorities listed in the Strategic Plan. The Market Analysis identifies the City’s
housing market, which includes the housing stock, the cost of housing in the City, housing needs for low-
income and special needs populations, and barriers to the development of new housing, especially
affordable housing.
As with many suburban cities, the City of San Bernardino is made up mostly of one-unit detached
structures. Multiunit structures make up the second highest portion of housing stock. Multifamily units
have increased more rapidly than single-family development, but only by approximately two percentage
points. The cost of home purchase is more affordable in the City of San Bernardino compared to other
cities in California. However, like the rest of the state, San Bernardino has followed the same trend of
steadily increasing costs for both homeownership and renting. Housing stock is aging; nearly 70 percent
of residential units were built prior to 1980.
There are many housing resources in the City and County for low-income, special needs, and homeless
households. The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) is the largest provider of
affordable housing in the County. The HACSB owns and/or manages more than 10,000 housing units and
serves approximately 30,000 individuals throughout the County. For special needs, in the City of San
Bernardino alone, there are 39 adult residential facilities providing capacity to accommodate 835
persons; there are 24 residential elder care facilities in the City that accommodate 505 persons. Finally,
the City utilizes the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program to support services that include
emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, street outreach, and HMIS costs.
There continue to be barriers to the provision of affordable housing. But through many initiatives and
supportive services funded by local and federal resources, efforts are continuously being made to
increase affordable housing units, provide supportive services and job training, and offer other tools to
build the workforce for a strong community.

MA-10 Number of Housing Units – 91.210(a)&(b)(2)
Introduction
The City is made up mostly of one-unit detached structures, at 61 percent of residential properties.
Multiunit structures make up the second highest percentage at 19 percent of the housing stock. From
2000 to the present, the development of housing stock has only increased by three to five percentage
points, with multifamily units increasing more rapidly than single-family detached by approximately two
percentage points.
Vacant land is available for immediate residential development in the City. Opportunities for
development are identified in maps in the City’s Housing Element. City policies and goals make evident
that the City is committed to both redevelopment and new development. Areas of opportunity include
infill housing and new development in the Downtown Core as well as along major corridors.
A healthy vacancy rate is associated with choice and mobility. A healthy vacancy rate for owner-
occupied housing is 2-3 percent and 5-6 percent for rental units. In 2010, the vacancy rate for owner-
occupied housing was 3.7 percent; in 2017 it was 1.3 percent, 0.7 percent below the range considered
healthy. In 2010, the renter-occupied rate was 6.9 percent, above the healthy range by 0.9 percent. By
2017, the rental vacancy rate returned to the healthy range at 6 percent.
Residential mobility is influenced by tenure. Ownership housing is associated with a much lower
turnover rate than rental housing. Tenure preferences are primarily related to household income,
composition, and age of the householder. Between 2010 and 2017, the number of occupied units
decreased, and tenure shifted from majority owner-occupied units to majority renter-occupied units.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with
federal, state, and local programs.
The City has a total of 25 assisted multifamily housing projects that provide 3,034 affordable housing
units. Fourteen projects (San Bernardino Senior Housing, Sierra Vista, Monte Vista, Buena Vista,
Hacienda, AHEPA 302 Apartments, Arrowhead Vista, The Magnolia, Casa Bernadine, Casa Ramona,
Jeffrey Court, Laurel Place, Light’s Rancho Linda, and The Plaza) are designated as affordable senior
communities and have a combined total of 1,329 units. Most of the City’s affordable housing was
funded by HUD, including Section 202, Section 108, PRAC, HOME, or HFDA. Many projects were also
financed through Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). Affordable housing units also received
funding through the former redevelopment agency or bonds. The HACSB also assisted with the
development of the Medical Center Apartments (287 affordable units).
The City falls within the jurisdiction of the HACSB. The HACSB administers the Housing Choice Voucher
program, which provides rental assistance to income-eligible residents of San Bernardino by providing

Assisted units convert to market rate when affordable housing contracts expire. In addition, many of the
City’s affordable housing projects were assisted with project-based Section 8 contracts and a significant
number of these units are considered at risk of converting to market-rate housing due to expiration of
subsidy contracts. A total of 15 projects, with a combined total of 1,627 affordable units, are at risk of
losing their affordability status.

HACSB does not anticipate losing affordable housing units due to expiration of contracts in the next five
years.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population?
Findings in the data show that there is not enough adequate housing affordable to LMI households,
especially for extremely low- and very low-income households. Affordable units accommodate only half
the number of households in the 0-30 percent and 30-50 percent HAMFI categories, creating an
insufficient amount of housing for households at these income levels.
There is a surplus of affordable units for households in the 50-80 percent and the 80-100 percent HAMFI
categories.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
According to data gathered through community outreach, there is a lack of single-family and other
quality housing development. Existing housing stock is also in need of rehabilitation. The primary
housing problem is affordability; households in the middle and lower-income categories have difficulty
affording homeownership. A need for affordable rental housing is a top need but owner-occupied
housing is considered one of the more critical housing needs in the community. The community
outreach process also revealed a need for housing for persons with mental and physical disabilities.
The needs identified through community outreach are substantiated in the CHAS 2011-2015 data.
As shown in Table 29, Unit Size by Tenure, renters in the City outnumber homeowners by 13 percent.
Renters also tend to reside in smaller units: 3-bedroom units are occupied by owners by 2.18 times that
of renters, whereas most no-bedroom, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom units are occupied by renters (69
percent).

MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a)
Introduction
Housing costs have the potential to cause housing problems in a community. If housing costs are high
relative to household income, there will be a higher rate of cost burden and overcrowding. According to
HUD, families who pay more than 30 percent of their income toward housing costs are considered cost
burdened and may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation and
medical care. This section analyzes the cost of housing in the City of San Bernardino.
The City’s housing market has fluctuated greatly over the last ten years. During the 2000 Census, the
median home value (MHV) in the City was $94,000; it then saw a steep increase during the housing
boom of the 2000s, increasing 115 percent by 2009 to an MHV of $270,200. Soon after, the US went into
the Great Recession and housing market crash, where homes across California were foreclosed on and
the City saw the MHV drop. Although the MHV has continued to decrease, it is still 41 percent higher
than it was before the housing boom in 2000, and wages in the area have not increased accordingly. In
2000, the median income in the City was $31,140, which would have allowed an average household to
purchase a home without becoming cost burdened (less than 30 percent of their income). In 2015, the
median income in the City was $37,047, a 16 percent increase, with an MHV of $159,800, which would
make most homeowners cost burdened.
Based on the 2011-2015 ACS, the median income would be sufficient for a renter to afford $1,029 in
housing costs per month, which includes rent and utilities, and not be cost burdened; 72 percent of the
City’s renter population pays $999 or less per month.

Data Source Comments:
Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels?
Findings in the data show that there is not enough adequate housing affordable to LMI households,
especially for extremely low- and very low-income households. Overall, affordable units accommodate
only half the number of households in the 0-30 percent and 30-50 percent HAMFI categories, creating
an insufficient amount of housing for households at these income levels.
According to the CHAS 2011-2015 data, approximately 13,335 households are at 0-30 percent AMI, yet
there are only 1,890 rental units available that are affordable to these households (no data is available
on homeowner units).
For the approximately 9,795 households in the City that are at 30-50 percent AMI, 4,130 rental units are
affordable, and 2,915 units are affordable for ownership.
There is a surplus of affordable units for some of the 10,630 households in the 50-80 percent HAMFI
bracket: there are approximately 18,415 rental units and 7,975 ownership units affordable to these
households.
Packet Pg. 801
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 69
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
The same is true of the 6,275 households in the City that are in the 80-100 percent HAMFI bracket: there
are 11,994 units that are affordable to households earning 100 percent HAMFI, again, creating a surplus
of affordable units for households in this range.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or
rents?
As illustrated in the table below, home prices in the City of San Bernardino are low compared to those of
the state. However, the median single-family home price has increased by approximately 23 percent
between January 2016 and January 2019, which is similar to both the County of San Bernardino (24
percent increase) and the state of California as a whole (23 percent increase), during that same time
period.
According to the ACS 2015-2018 5-Year Estimates, the majority of renters have consistently spent
between $500 and $1,499 between 2015 and 2018; renters spending between $1,500 to $1,999
doubled during the same time period. Overall, San Bernardino is experiencing an increase in rental
housing costs. Between 2015 and 2018, the median rent increased from $976 to $1,068. As shown in the
table below, both the lowest cost categories (up to $999) and the highest cost categories ($2,000-
$2,999) decreased as a percentage of the rental market.
Based upon market data for home prices and rental units, it can be expected that costs will increase, by
small percentages.
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this
impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing?
The median gross rent for San Bernardino, according to the ACS 2018 1-Year Estimate, was $1,068;
however, the HUD fair market rent for a three-bedroom is higher at $1,717.
According to the number of units available, there is a need to develop affordable units for extremely
low- to very low-income households. HUD defines cost burden as 30 percent or more of family’s
household income spent on housing costs, including utilities. Affordable housing cost then would be 30
percent or less of a household’s income. The HAMFI for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA MSA
is $69,700. Affordable rent for a family of four, earning 80 percent of the area median family income, or
$55,760, would be $1,436; for a family earning a very low income of 35,900, $894; and for a family
earning extremely low income of 25,750, $644. A strategy to address affordable housing needs would be
to put HOME and CDBG dollars toward affordable housing construction for extremely low- and very low-
income households.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a)
Introduction
This section of the ConPlan discusses existing housing supply, age and condition of housing, the number
of vacant and abandoned units, and the risk posed by lead-based paint.
As discussed in MA-10, 61 percent of the housing stock in the City of San Bernardino is single-family
detached. Multiunit structures make up the second highest percentage at 19 percent of housing stock.
As is common in many cities in the nation, most residential development in the City occurred between
1950 and 1979.
The following section describes the conditions of the housing stock in the City. HUD defines housing
“conditions” similarly to the definition of housing problems discussed in the Needs Assessment. These
conditions are:
1. More than one person per room;
2. Cost burden greater than 30 percent;
3. Lack of complete plumbing; and
4. Lack of complete kitchen facilities.
Definitions
In the City of San Bernardino, substandard housing conditions may consist of the following: structural
hazards, poor construction, inadequate maintenance, faulty wiring, plumbing, fire hazards, and
inadequate sanitation. Substandard units suitable for rehabilitation are those units where the total
rehabilitation costs do not exceed 25 percent of the after-rehabilitation value.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
Most occupied units were built before 1980. Sixty-eight percent of renter-occupied units and 67 percent
of owner-occupied units were built prior to 1980. For units built between 1950 and 1979, renters
outnumber owners by nearly 25 percent. The disproportionate share of renters that occupy older units
could indicate a more urgent need for the rehabilitation of rental units in the City. The high percentage
of older units, both owned-occupied and renter-occupied, indicates the potential need for rehabilitation
for both.

Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP
Hazards
To estimate the number of housing units in the City with lead-based paint (LBP) hazards that are
occupied by LMI families, the building age of each unit is evaluated. The use of LBP on residential units
was prohibited after 1978, but for the sake of this plan, the number of units built before 1980 will be
used to determine how many LMI households are at risk of LBP hazards.
The 2011-2015 ACS data in Table 36 shows that approximately 38,860 units in San Bernardino were built
before 1980 and could be at risk of LBP.
Based upon the 2012-2016 CHAS data, approximately 31,062 residential units built prior to 1980 are
occupied by LMI families and are at risk of exposure to LBP hazards.
Discussion
The City will continue to develop policies to rehabilitate older and abandoned housing in the City in an
effort to fulfill its Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) obligation and provide housing to LMI
households.
The City will continue efforts to reduce LBP hazards in housing constructed prior to 1978 and assisted
through the Owner-Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program by testing for LBP. If LBP is found, safe
work practices or abatement procedures will be included in the scope of work for the rehabilitation. All
City procedures for the prevention of LBP poisoning when working on residential structures will comply
with 24 CFR Part 35.
The City still has several abandoned homes that have been foreclosed, have deteriorated, and have
been vandalized. In Ward 1, there is a focus on the City’s Single-Family Unit Acquisition and
Rehabilitation program, but foreclosed homes citywide are eligible properties. The City has identified
providers, including Housing Partners 1, Inc. and Neighborhood Housing Service of the Inland Empire, to
rehabilitate, manage, market, and close the sale of foreclosed homes.
The vacant unit table found in this section only includes the number of vacant units and REO units. The
City has not completed a recent housing conditions study to determine which units are not suitable for
rehabilitation. As properties are rehabilitated using CDBG and HOME funds each is evaluated to
determine whether it is suitable for rehabilitatioin.

Choice Voucher (HCV) program, income eligible tenants pay 30 percent of their income and the project-based rental assistance makes up the
difference between what an extremely low-, low-, or very low-income household can afford and the approved rent for the unit. Tenants would
have the option of applying to renew the Section 8 contract. As of FY 2020, all public housing units under the HACSB will be converted to project-
based vouchers, commonly referred to as Section 8 units. Planned existing project-based voucher properties include:
•Family Community, New Development – 333 units
•Family Community, Existing Development – 434 units
•RAD Conversion, Existing Public Housing Community – 1,003 units
•Senior Community, Existing Development – 349 units
•Family & Senior Community, New Development – 11 units
•Veterans’ Housing, New Development – 37

In June 2018, the City of San Bernardino received $20 million from the state’s Strategic Growth Council through the California Affordable
Housing and Sustainable Communities program. The funding has been prioritized to revitalize the Arrowhead Grove neighborhood, formerly the
Waterman Gardens Public Housing site, and the adjacent corridor. The project will include 147 affordable housing units and 36 market-rate
units, along with pedestrian and transit improvements that will benefit the community at large. The National Community Renaissance (National
CORE), an affordable housing developer, has partnered with the HACSB for the project.
As mentioned above, all units under the HACSB will be converted to project-based vouchers, commonly referred to as Section 8 units. The
primary benefit of RAD is that properties that convert under this process are no longer restricted from securing private sources of capital
financing, and the owners are therefore able to address deferred maintenance issues that have caused public housing and other HUD rental
stock to deteriorate nationwide. HACSB refers to housing projects as Asset Management Projects (AMPs). The initial phase of the RAD
conversion included rehabilitation at the following sites:
•97 scattered site units in AMP 120
•330 units in AMP 130 (Maplewood Homes)

In September 2018, the second phase of the RAD conversion of public housing units closed and rehabilitation work identified under the RAD
physical needs assessments commenced. The second phase of the conversion included the following sites:
•12 scattered site units in AMP 150 (E. 9th Street)

Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low-
and moderate-income families residing in public housing:
The HACSB works to facilitate opportunities for families and individuals to become self-sufficient and
financially independent so that they can transition from dependency on housing subsidy through the
following strategies:
•Develop and maintain policies, programs, and services that foster accountability, responsibility,
and economic independence.
•Partner with external organizations to support clients in acquiring life skills, education, and
training.
•Strengthening tenants’ personal accountability and in transitioning to home ownership/market
rentals
In addition to implementing non-MTW activities to address the goal of self-sufficiency, the HACSB has
implemented nine MTW activities that address this goal: Local Policies for Portability, Elimination of
Earned Income Disallowance, Minimum Rent, Pilot Work Requirement, Local Income Inclusion,
implementation of a local Family Self Sufficiency program, Term-Limited Lease Assistance Program, No
Child Left Unsheltered, and Transition for Over-Income Families
Discussion:
Over 10,700 housing vouchers are currently active countywide, of which there are approximately 2,600
voucher holders in the City of San Bernardino. Approximately 37 percent of the voucher holders have
requested accessible units or features. The majority of voucher holders have a tenant-based vouchers.
Currently, there are approximately 31,000 households on the Housing Choice Voucher waiting list for
project-based and 23,023 for tenant-based vouchers. There is a need for applicant assistance in the
housing program application process as well as finding property owners that will accept vouchers.

housing gap of 11,445 units for households earning between 0 to 30 percent AMI as well as a housing
gap of 2,750 units for households earning between 30 to 50 percent AMI. Hispanic and Black/African
American households are the most prevelent cost burdened populations.
Assisted units sometimes convert to market rate units when affordable housing contracts expire. Many
of the City’s affordable housing projects that are assisted with project-based Section 8 contracts are
considered at risk of converting to market-rate housing due to expiration of subsidy contracts.
Specifically, a total of 15 projects, with a combined total of 1,627 affordable units, are at risk of losing
their affordability status.

Introduction
There are 39 adult residential facilities in the City of San Bernardino. Such facilities provide safe and
secure places for the elderly and persons with disabilities to stay while their primary caretakers work or
run errands. In January 2020, there were 60 licensed adult residential facilities in the City with the
capacity to accommodate a total of 835 persons.
Residential care facilities for the elderly are family homes, group care facilities, or other similar facilities
in which non-medical care is provided 24 hours per day to support daily activities and ensure personal
security of the elderly. There are 24 residential elder care facilities in the City that accommodate 505
persons.
Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental),
persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families,
public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe
their supportive housing needs
Elderly. Elderly persons may have special housing needs primarily due to income, health care costs, and
physical or mental disabilities, particularly those that tend to increase with age. As a result, the elderly
may face difficulty in finding housing and may become victims of housing discrimination or fraud.
According to the 2011-2015 ACS, approximately 15,302 persons 62 years and older reside in the City,
representing seven percent of the total population. The senior population is growing at a faster pace
than the overall population. According to the ACS, between 2010 and 2017, the total number of elderly
persons in San Bernardino increased by more than 12 percent while the City’s total population increased
by only 2.5 percent.
Persons with Disabilities. Persons with disabilities frequently have special housing needs, often related
to a potentially limited ability to earn enough income, a lack of accessible and affordable housing, and
higher health costs associated with a disability. Persons with self-care and mobility limitations may also
require housing design features such as wheelchair ramps, grab bars, special bathroom designs, and/or
wider doorway openings.
According to the ACS 2014-2018 5-Year Estimates, 12.5 percent of San Bernardino residents reported a
disability, a decrease from the 2009-2013 estimates, which estimated that 13.2 percent of the
population had one or more disabilities.
Approximately 16.5 percent of those between the ages of 35 to 64 reported having a disability.
Approximately 38.5 percent of those between the ages of 65 to 74 reported having a disability, which is
approximately 8 percent higher than the County level. For those 75 years and older, 60.9 percent of the
population reported having a disability, which is approximately 5 percent higher than the County level.

A major challenge facing the City is the availability of housing stock with accessible features that meet
the needs of disabled residents and their families. The ACS 2014-2018 5-Year estimates showed that
14.2 percent, or 2,586, residents above the age of 65 were living below the poverty level. Living below
the poverty level further limits resources and puts an additional constraint on the already limited
housing options available to seniors with a disability.
Community outreach also revealed a need for housing programs with mental health services for people
with mental and physical disabilities.
Drugs/Alcohol. The County of San Bernardino provides alcohol and drug services through the Substance
Use Disorder and Recovery Services (SUDRS) program. Services are available to all County residents.
Additionally, Supervised Treatment After Release (STAR) is the treatment component of the Mental
Health Court System of Care. Individuals are generally referred while incarcerated in the West Valley
Detention Center. STAR arranges for:
•Day treatment
•Intensive case management
•Residential placement
•Drug and alcohol treatment
•Periodic court reviews
HIV/AIDS. The National Commission on AIDS states that up to half of all Americans with HIV or AIDS are
either homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless because of their illness, lack of income or
other resources, and having a weak support network. Persons with HIV/AIDS may also require a broad
range of services, including counseling, medical care, in-home care, transportation assistance, and food
provision.
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health
institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
The City has worked with St. Bernadine Hospital to transition homeless individuals who are being
discharged from the hospital into transitional housing and ultimately transition into permanent housing.
The City will continue to support the regional Continuum of Care’s efforts to implement the San
Bernardino County 10-Year Strategy for Ending Homelessness. This plan includes a recommendation to
focus on discharge planning to prevent people from becoming homeless when they are discharged from
correctional, foster care, health care, or mental health care systems. The McKinney-Vento Act requires
that state and local governments have policies and protocols in place to ensure that persons being
discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care are not discharged immediately into
homelessness. To meet HUD’s requirements, the 10-Year Strategy has established a Discharge Planning
Committee to focus on improving coordination between discharge planning agencies, local government,
and homeless service providers in order to implement a “zero tolerance” plan that will prevent persons
from being discharged into homelessness. The City has provided ESG funding to Step Up on Second (Step

Up) for essential service referrals and housing placement services to homeless and near-homeless
persons. Step Up also provides daily street outreach to the most service-resistant homeless population
in San Bernardino.
Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address
the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with
respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year
goals. 91.315(e)
Through CDBG, ESG, and other available resources, the City traditionally funds organizations that
provide services to residents in need. Such funding support includes ADA accessibility for public spaces
and service organizations providing assistance and referrals to low-income persons in need of various
supportive services. In 2020-2021 the City intends to fund several affordable housing initiatives including
the development of new affordable rental housing (100 units), expand home ownership opportunties to
eligible LMI households through its Infill Housing Program (4 new units) and its First Time Home
Ownership Program (2 existing units), rental housing rehabilitation (239 units), and through fair housing
assistance which will help over 2,000 property owners and tenants citywide. The City prioritizes families
whose household income is extremely low and low income income.

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment
The City recognizes that barriers to affordable housing exist and continues to employ strategies to
overcome them. Policies can create barriers to the production of affordable housing and residential
investment because such factors increase costs.
The high cost of affordable housing and residential investment can be contributed to the following:
Lack of Affordable Housing Funds: Funding for affordable housing usually comes from the government at
the local, state, or federal levels or from nonprofit organizations specializing in the construction of
affordable housing. Before 2012, redevelopment had the ability to borrow against future property tax
revenue in order to finance capital projects and address blight; 20 percent of redevelopment money was
required to be allocated toward affordable housing. Due to state budgetary problems, redevelopment
agencies were dissolved. Now the City relies on private resources, federal grant programs, state
resources, and philanthropy to fund affordable housing projects.
Environmental Review: Environmental review can be a long process and is expensive if extensive
environmental review is required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or the National
Environmental Policy Act. Additionally, if a developer is applying to rezone an area or parcel, an
amendment to the General Plan or Zoning Ordinance is required, which is a project under CEQA. Such an
amendment requires environmental review, which can become a long and even political process that
can slow or even stop the development of projects.
Site Improvements: Many parts of the City of San Bernardino are undeveloped and lack adequate
pedestrian and automobile infrastructure to support new residential subdivisions. All new residential
development is required to provide sidewalk with curbs and gutters and must be served by appropriate
roadways consistent with the General Plan Circulation Element and adopted road development
standards. The cost of these improvements increases the cost of development but is necessary to
facilitate pedestrian and vehicular access and movement in the City.
Planning and Development Fees: Planning and development impact fees, such as for transportation,
water, and sewer infrastructure improvements, often add to the overall cost of development. The City’s
fees reflect the fair share of the costs of providing permitting, infrastructure, and services for new
residences.
Infrastructure and Impact Fees: Impact fees are charged to housing developers to pay for City
infrastructure that will support the project, or pay for parks or other City services that protect the
welfare of residents. A primary financial deterrent for developers is the high cost of impact fees.
Construction costs, permitting fees, and impact fees are passed on to the consumer, driving up the cost
of housing at all income levels.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
State and Federal Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wages: The state Department of Industrial Relations (DIR)
expanded the kinds of projects that require the payment of prevailing wages. Prevailing wage adds to
the overall cost of development. A prevailing wage must also be paid to laborers when federal funds are
used to pay labor costs for any project over $2,000 or on any multifamily project over eight units. Based
on discussions with developers, various prevailing wage requirements typically inflate the development
costs by 35 percent.

Introduction
The City of San Bernardino is located in the Inland Empire, which is part of a populous area west of Los Angeles in Southern California. Top
employers in the City include California State University, San Bernardino, Caltrans, and the Community Hospital of San Bernardino. There are
57,889 jobs in the City with a labor force of approximately 88,000. The City has strong millennial growth with an average age of 32, younger than
both the state (36) and the nation (37). Additionally, the County is the second-fastest growing county in the state, likely due to lower home
prices and commercial vacancy rates, making the area ideal for investment.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within
your jurisdiction?
Education and health care services is the top employment sector with the highest percentage of local
workers within the sector in San Bernardino, followed by retail trade,
arts/entertainment/accommodations, transportation and warehousing, and manufacturing. The sectors
with the highest percentage of jobs within the sector are education and healthcare services, retail,
transportation and warehousing, and arts, entertainment and accommodations. Manufacturing has the
Packet Pg. 821
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 89
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
most oversupply of labor (more workers than jobs). Education/health care services and
finance/insurance/real estate both have the most undersupply of labor (more jobs than workers).
Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
The City has a civilian labor force of 88,507. However, the unemployment rate is unusually high at 16.6
percent overall, and 9 percent for those in the 25-65 age cohort; the national rate is 3.7 percent and for
comparably sized cities, 5.5 percent. Though education and health care services are the top business
sector, the most occupations are in sales and office. As discussed above, there is a need for workers in
the finance, insurance, and real estate sector. Additionally, because of the finding that there are more
workers than jobs in manufacturing, it could be beneficial to incentivize manufacturing companies to
locate in the City. The public outreach process for the 2020-2025 ConPlan also expressed the need for
job training for residents.
Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or
regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect
job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for
workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.
The City of San Bernardino has developed the San Bernardino Downtown Vision & Action Plan, which
includes the development of the 48.2-acre Carousel District. A goal of the plan is to capitalize on the
Carousel District’s ability to attract visitors to its arts and entertainment amenities by further developing
the area. Projects being considered for this mixed-use development include residential market-rate
housing and retail redevelopment with future phases of office, educational, and/or additional housing.
In addition to development, the InTech Center in Fontana is part of an initiative designed to provide
hands-on training that manufacturing employers are looking for. Manufacturing sectors are growing in
the County and include advanced manufacturing, food, plastics, and metal manufacturing. The center
provides individual certificate programs as well as comprehensive career skill development, such as in
industrial maintenance, pre-engineering, robotics, and IT.
Tens of thousands of new residential units are anticipated. As such, the County also has resources in
place to attract retail by assisting investors with site selection, business planning, obtaining permits to
operate retail, workforce assistance, and demographic and market reports.
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment
opportunities in the jurisdiction?
As discussed above, there is a need for workers in the finance, insurance and real estate sector, possibly
indicating a need for related job training and educational opportunities. Additionally, because of the
finding that there are more workers than jobs in manufacturing, it could be beneficial to incentivize
Packet Pg. 822
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 90
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
manufacturing companies to locate in the City. As mentioned above, job training is a need in the
community.
Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce
Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts
will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.
The San Bernardino Community and Economic Development Department will continue consulting with
County Workforce Development, County Department of Behavioral Health, and County Office on Aging
and Adult Services, all of which are involved in the delivery of housing, supportive services and economic
development to low- and moderate-income San Bernardino residents. Workforce Development provides
job placement services for persons in the County and paid on-the-job training and any equipment that
an employee may require to carry their new job. In the realm of economic development, the City
recently established a partnership with the Mexican Consulate’s Emprendedores program. The program
partners with the Small Business Administration and the City’s Micro Enterprise program to provide
Spanish language training for persons interested in launching a small business or expanding an existing
small business. Through the City’s partnership with the Emprendedores program, the City will cross
promote the services available through Workforce Development.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated?
(include a definition of "concentration")
As discussed below, there are racial and ethnic concentrations and LMI concentrations within the City.
The definition of “concentration” is provided below.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income
families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
A minority concentration is defined as census tracts where the percentage of individuals of racial or
ethnic minority groups is at least 20 percent higher than the City average. An LMI concentration is
defined as a census tract in which the median household income is less than or equal to 80 percent of
the statewide median family income, in which the median family income is less than or equal to 80
percent of the metropolitan area’s median family income, or in which the federal poverty rate is 20
percent or greater.
As discussed in NA-30, five census tracts have a Hispanic minority concentration.
A majority of the City is considered an LMI area (see attached LMI Concentration Map).
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods?
According to the ACS 2014-2018 5-Year Estimates, the median household income for the City is $43,136,
which is less than the County’s median household income of $60,164.
As of January 24, 2020, there are approximately 185 houses in various states of foreclosure throughout
the City. Housing units in foreclosure generally overlap with LMI neighborhoods displayed in the
attached Map.
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods?
The County operates an Employment Resource Center in downtown San Bernardino near City Hall in an
LMI neighborhood. California State University, San Bernardino is also located in an LMI neighborhood.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?
The City has several economic advantages, including modern industrial buildings, convenient freeway
access, and generally lower labor costs.
Additionally, the City continues to encourage economic development and will continue to fund
nonprofits that develop the capacity of residents through job and small business development training.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate-Income
Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2)
Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and
moderate-income households and neighborhoods.
According to the California Interactive Broadband Map, most of the City is served by fixed-service
broadband. Most unserved areas are nonresidential; however, approximately 150 mobile homes are
unserved in the City. Stakeholders also identified a need for internet access among homeless individuals
and housing program participants.
Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet
service provider serve the jurisdiction.
Charter Communications (Spectrum) and Frontier Communications are the primary fixed-service
internet service providers (ISPs) operating within the City. Charter and Frontier generally cover the
entire City, save for the unserved pockets discussed above. Frontier provides DSL and fiber internet,
whereas Charter provides broadband with small pockets of fiber service.
The table attached with this section displays the monthly price of internet (excluding equipment rental
fees) by ISP as of January 24, 2020.
For households that are recipients of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), the Community
Eligibility Provision of the NSLP, or Supplemental Security Income (SSI; 65 years and older), Charter
offers broadband internet access (up to 30Mbps) for $14.99 per month with no equipment rental fees.
Frontier also provides low-cost internet access (1.61Mbps to 12Mbps) for $19.99 per month for
recipients of CalFresh, SSI, Medi-Cal, and Bureau of Indian Affairs programs. This offer also comes with a
Chromebook provided by funding from the California Emerging Technology Fund.
LMI households who are participants of these programs would be able to access the internet at a low
cost. LMI households who are not participants of these specific programs or cannot afford the reduced
price would be unable to access the internet.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.
Climate change is a phenomenon where greenhouse gases (GHGs) produced by natural and man-made
sources trap heat in the atmosphere, causing an increase in the global average air and ocean
temperatures and the melting of snow and ice, which consequently causes sea level rise.
Depending on the level of emissions, by 2099, the average temperature of San Bernardino County is
projected to rise between 3.8 and 6.7 degrees Fahrenheit. Increased temperatures could manifest as
heat waves, which would lead to increased incidents of heat stress and heat stroke and exacerbate
existing health conditions. Furthermore, the lack of moisture in the air, when compounded by long-term
drought, may also increase the risk of wildfires, resulting in more deaths, destroyed property, and
increased air pollution.
Climate change may also cause increased occurrences of extreme weather events, such as storms and
flooding. This would increase fatal and nonfatal injuries, ruin housing, and may result in permanent
displacement.
Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income
households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.
LMI households and those with special needs without the means to evacuate would be more vulnerable
during natural disasters caused by climate change. It would be difficult for households to acquire
transportation and housing accommodations during an emergency. Additionally, housing destroyed by
natural disasters would be difficult to replace in the already constrained housing market.
Furthermore, households without adequate air conditioning systems would also be at increased risk of
heat stress and heat stroke.
Stakeholders identified homeless individuals as having the greatest risk from emergencies and natural
disasters. Extreme heat events require cooling centers; however, resources may not be available to
accommodate all homeless persons. Additionally, it was identified that households at risk of fire hazard
may not have the resources to find replacement housing, and resources may not be available to provide
emergency shelter.

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
This overview summarizes the key points of each section of the market analysis and sets a basis for
some of the funding priorities listed in the Strategic Plan. The Market Analysis identifies the City’s
housing market, which includes the housing stock, the cost of housing in the City, housing needs for low-
income and special needs populations, and barriers to the development of new housing, especially
affordable housing.
As with many suburban cities, the City of San Bernardino is made up mostly of one-unit detached
structures. Multiunit structures make up the second highest portion of housing stock. Multifamily units
have increased more rapidly than single-family development, but only by approximately two percentage
points. The cost of home purchase is more affordable in the City of San Bernardino compared to other
cities in California. However, like the rest of the state, San Bernardino has followed the same trend of
steadily increasing costs for both homeownership and renting. Housing stock is aging; nearly 70 percent
of residential units were built prior to 1980.
There are many housing resources in the City and County for low-income, special needs, and homeless
households. The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) is the largest provider of
affordable housing in the County. The HACSB owns and/or manages more than 10,000 housing units and
serves approximately 30,000 individuals throughout the County. For special needs, in the City of San
Bernardino alone, there are 39 adult residential facilities providing capacity to accommodate 835
persons; there are 24 residential elder care facilities in the City that accommodate 505 persons. Finally,
the City utilizes the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program to support services that include
emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, street outreach, and HMIS costs.
There continue to be barriers to the provision of affordable housing. But through many initiatives and
supportive services funded by local and federal resources, efforts are continuously being made to
increase affordable housing units, provide supportive services and job training, and offer other tools to
build the workforce for a strong community.

General Allocation Priorities
Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA
for HOPWA)
The City will use most of its federal funding to finance projects targeted to low- to moderate-income
households throughout the City, including those in special needs categories. Based on 2011-2015 CHAS
data, 59 percent of households in the City are low- to moderate-income households. Because more than
half of residents would qualify for CDBG assistance and there are no concentrated areas of poverty, the
City is taking the approach of allocating CDBG funds across the whole City.

As discussed in MA-20, 67 percent of both owner-occupied housing (18,125) and
rental units (20,735) were built prior to 1980. In general, housing begins to require
major repairs after 30 or 40 years of age. Those repairs could include important
health and safety repairs such as for heating/air systems, roof, kitchen appliances,
bathroom or kitchen plumbing, and insulation. Many low- to moderate-income
households may be unable to afford these needed repairs.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
The City will leverage its federal resources with state and private capital in order to develop quality affordable housing for San Bernardino
residents. Additional funds to serve the needs of lower- and moderate-income residents were derived from a variety of other sources, including:
Federal Resources. Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, Tax Exempt Bond Financing,
Community Investment Funds from Dignity Health
State Resources. Tax Exempt bonds, State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, No Place Like Home, Community Reinvestments Funds,
Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) from California State Department of Housing, Veteran Housing and Homeless Prevention Program. In
2017, the governor signed the Building Homes and Jobs Act (SB 2), which established a $75 recording fee on real estate documents to increase
the supply of affordable housing in California. Funding is used to help cities and counties accelerate housing production, streamline approval of
housing development, facilitate housing affordability, promote development, and ensure geographic equity in the distribution of funds. The City
submitted a grant application under SB 2 to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for the sum of $625,000.
Local Resources. San Bernardino County Continuum of Care, Housing Authority of San Bernardino County (HACSB)
Private Resources. Dignity Health, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, San Bernardino Unified School District, City of San Bernardino Successor
Housing Agency
HOME Match. HUD requires HOME recipients to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation. In FY 2019-2020, the City received a 100
percent match reduction due to severe fiscal distress. It is anticipated that in 2020-2021 the City will also receive a 100 percent match reduction.
If a reduction is not granted, the City of San Bernardino will continue to leverage its HOME funds with other housing resources. Any funds that
are used in a HOME activity in excess of the required match will be documented by the City and reported to HUD as part of the Consolidated
Annual Performance and Evaluation Report each year.
ESG Match. HUD requires ESG recipients to match 100 percent of their ESG annual allocation. For those organizations that received ESG funds,
agencies met the match requirement through utilization of volunteerism, in-kind contributions and funds from other local, state and federal
programs. In addition, qualified City staff will provide in-kind services for necessary program oversight, review project work receipts, and
Packet Pg. 841
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 109
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
administer other matching funds from state and federal programs, such as CDBG. Staff timecards will be used to document all in-kind service
hours.
If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs
identified in the plan
According to the City’s 2013-2021 Housing Element update, the City of San Bernardino has enough vacant land and land designated for
residential use to satisfy all projected housing needs. Additionally, the City has not identified any constraints on these sites that would prevent
development or reuse. The City estimates that 12,918 housing units could be accommodated on this land.
Additionally, the governor of California continues to explore the use of state and federal surplus property to provide housing for homeless
individuals
Discussion
The City has enough available land and residential designations to meet the affordable housing needs of the community. HUD allocations are
critical to meeting these needs; however, they are not sufficient to address all the needs of LMI households. Therefore, the City will continue to
continue to leverage other funding sources to provide services to populations in need.

Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System
The City has invested significantly in its CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs, specifically for consulting,
auditing, and program design; however, it remains financially constrained. The City continues to improve
its capacity and effectiveness in using federal funding.
Additionally, the City of San Bernardino participates in the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership
(SBCHP) through the Central Valley Steering Committee on the Interagency Council on Homelessness,
which directs the SBCHP. The SBCHP coordinates homeless services and housing throughout the County.
The partnership understands that homelessness is a massive issue which takes an enormous amount of
planning and resources to address. Given this, the SBCHP continually tries to address gaps in its
institutional structure and bolster its strengths. A gap analysis is performed annually to determine gaps
in the service and structure of the partnership.
The primary gap identified is a lack of funding to house or shelter all homeless individuals in the County.
As identified in NA-40, there are approximately 2,600 homeless individuals living in San Bernardino
County.

Table 52 - Homeless Prevention Services Summary
Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed
above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and
families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth)
Besides CDBG funding, ESG funding is also used to combat homelessness within the City. The City
coordinates with emergency shelters and funds nonprofit agencies that operate emergency shelters and
transitional housing. These shelters offer basic needs and drop-in services. Transitional housing provides
assistance in helping homeless individuals become more stable and continue independent living.
Additionally, the SBCHP coordinates homeless services and housing throughout the County, including for
the City of San Bernardino. The partnership has created an initiative to house veteran families, which
has resulted in 1,260 veteran families being housed between 2015 and 2020. The SBCHP also has
created initiatives to house the elderly and chronically homeless population.
Packet Pg. 844
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 112
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Furthermore, the organization has partnered with the Inland Empire Health Plan to provide health care
services to homeless individuals throughout the County.
Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population
and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed
above
Numerous resources are available for homeless individuals living with HIV/AIDS in the County, including
service providers which provide permanent supportive housing. Additionally, the Inland Empire Health
Plan serves anyone who is chronically homeless, which is defined as an individual who is homeless for
more than a year or homeless four or more times in three years and has a disabling health condition,
which includes HIV/AIDS.
The SBCHP identifies a significant gap of resources for elderly persons and persons with disabilities. On
average, elderly persons and persons with disabilities receive approximately $1,000 per month in social
security income (SSI). However, the HUD fair market rent for the County is $986 for a one-bedroom unit.
This leaves individuals receiving SSI without the means to afford housing, potentially leaving some
homeless.
Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and
service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs
Currently, the SBCHP works with 62 homeless service providers and all cities within the County. Steering
committees, comprising service providers and representatives from some of these cities, including the
City of San Bernardino, contribute to the partnership’s decision-making process. The partnership
encourages continued participation to overcome gaps in institutional structure. Additionally, the SBCHP
performs an annual gap analysis to determine areas in which the partnership can improve.
The partnership is continually finding ways to fill gaps in services, including through partnerships with
nonprofits, businesses, and municipalities as well as through new approaches to problem solving. This
includes motel, hotel, shared, and bridge housing as well as employment training.

SP-50 Public Housing Accessibility and Involvement – 91.215(c)
Need to Increase the Number of Accessible Units (if Required by a Section 504 Voluntary
Compliance Agreement)
Households in California with at least one member living with a disability have a median household
income of $56,600, approximately $26,000 less than the median household income of all households at
$82,000. Consequently, the need for accessible affordable units would be high for this population.
As discussed in NA-35, the average annual income of all vouchers holders is approximately $14,084,
which indicates these voucher holders have limited income to cover basic transportation, medical, food,
and personal needs. As indicated in NA-35, 5,277 voucher holders (37 percent) have requested some
type of accessible feature, demonstrating a need. Given the number of persons with disabilities across
the County, the need for accessible units would be great.
Activities to Increase Resident Involvements
The City does not own public housing units. HACSB Board of Commissioners has regular meetings twice
per month that call for public comment on agenda items. The HACSB also operates a Family Self
Sufficiency Program designed so that residents can be involved in the development of self-sufficiency
goals, job training, and other services. The City provides several programs that public housing residents
can participate including the First Time Homebuyers Program which funds homebuyers with an income
range between 50% and 80% AMI. The City's Infill Program also caters to eligible LMI families wanting to
purchase a home. The City works with HACSB to provide homeownership opportunities as they are
available.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City recognizes that barriers to affordable housing exist and continues to employ strategies to
overcome them. Policies can create barriers to the production of affordable housing and residential
investment because such factors increase costs.
The high cost of affordable housing and residential investment can be contributed to the following:
Lack of Affordable Housing Funds: Funding for affordable housing usually comes from the government at
the local, state, or federal levels or from nonprofit organizations specializing in the construction of
affordable housing. Before 2012, redevelopment had the ability to borrow against future property tax
revenue in order to finance capital projects and address blight; 20 percent of redevelopment money was
required to be allocated toward affordable housing. Due to state budgetary problems, redevelopment
agencies were dissolved. Now the City relies on private resources, federal grant programs, state
resources, and philanthropy to fund affordable housing projects.
Environmental Review: Environmental review can be a long process and is expensive if extensive
environmental review is required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or the National
Environmental Policy Act. Additionally, if a developer is applying to rezone an area or parcel, an
amendment to the General Plan or Zoning Ordinance is required, which is a project under CEQA. Such an
amendment requires environmental review, which can become a long and even political process that
can slow or even stop the development of projects.
Site Improvements: Many parts of the City of San Bernardino are undeveloped and lack adequate
pedestrian and automobile infrastructure to support new residential subdivisions. All new residential
development is required to provide sidewalk with curbs and gutters and must be served by appropriate
roadways consistent with the General Plan Circulation Element and adopted road development
standards. The cost of these improvements increases the cost of development but is necessary to
facilitate pedestrian and vehicular access and movement in the City.
Planning and Development Fees: Planning and development impact fees, such as for transportation,
water, and sewer infrastructure improvements, often add to the overall cost of development. The City’s
fees reflect the fair share of the costs of providing permitting, infrastructure, and services for new
residences.
Infrastructure and Impact Fees: Impact fees are charged to housing developers to pay for City
infrastructure that will support the project, or pay for parks or other City services that protect the
welfare of residents. A primary financial deterrent for developers is the high cost of impact fees.
Construction costs, permitting fees, and impact fees are passed on to the consumer, driving up the cost
of housing at all income levels.

State and Federal Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wages: The state Department of Industrial Relations (DIR)
expanded the kinds of projects that require the payment of prevailing wages. Prevailing wage adds to
the overall cost of development. A prevailing wage must also be paid to laborers when federal funds are
used to pay labor costs for any project over $2,000 or on any multifamily project over eight units. Based
on discussions with developers, various prevailing wage requirements typically inflate the development
costs by 35 percent.
Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City continues to make the development process more efficient for developers through
amendments to the Development Code. The City plans to make the following updates to its
development code:
•General Lot Consolidation Incentive – This incentive would increase development potential by
allowing a 15 percent density bonus for projects with a residential component, maintenance
plan, and on-site management.
•Density Bonus Provisions – The City plans to update the Development Code to reflect the latest
amendments to state density bonus law.
•Transitional and Supportive Housing – The City plans to update the Development Code to
adequately define transitional and permanent supportive housing to eliminate confusion and
facilitate the review and approval process for this housing type.
•Streamlined Processing – The City plans to analyze potential programs that seek to eliminate
land use constraints related to the development of new housing and rehabilitation of existing
housing. Additionally, the City has applied for an SB 2 planning grant to assist with streamlining.

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City of San Bernardino provides ESG funding to Step Up on Second (Step Up), which provides
essential service referrals and housing placement services to homeless persons and near-homeless
persons. Step Up also provides daily mobile outreach to the most service-resistant homeless population
in the City.
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City funds nonprofits that operate emergency shelters and transitional housing for homeless
individuals. Emergency shelters provide shelter, nutrition, supportive services, counseling, medical
treatment, transportation assistance, referrals to mental health and social service agencies, and housing
assistance. Transitional housing programs provide shelter and services such as job training, financial
literacy training, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and counseling to help individuals reestablish
independent living.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
The City will provide ESG funding for supportive services to assist homeless individuals, including funding
for emergency shelters, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, and street outreach. The City will
also fund nonprofit agencies that operate emergency shelters and provide services to help homeless
individuals stabilize and live independently. The City will continue to fund nonprofits that help homeless
individuals transition to permanent housing.
Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being
discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving
assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education or youth needs
As discussed above, the City funds a number of nonprofits that provide homeless prevention services to
those at risk of homelessness. Additionally, the Coordinated Entry System (CES) is used to quickly
identify, assess, refer, and connect clients to housing assistance and services in the event they are

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards
The City follows all applicable lead-based paint hazard (LBP) regulations, which primarily affect projects
funded by the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program. All applicants are notified about LBP risk and, if
they are low-income and have a child under six at home, are then referred to the County’s LBP
Abatement Program for free paint inspections, lead testing for children, information about LBP, and
abatement. In general, housing built after 1977, zero-bedroom units, and housing for the elderly or
disabled persons (unless children are present) are exempt from this rule.
How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards?
Units built prior to 1980 may contain LBP, to which children under the age of six years are especially
vulnerable. As discussed in MA-20, approximately 31,000 housing units were built prior to 1980, of
which approximately 6,500 are occupied by children under six years of age.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures?
The City, as part of its Housing Rehabilitation Program, requires that all LBP be controlled or abated and
disposed of properly to eliminate or reduce the hazard of environmental or human contamination.

SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families
The City annually allocates federal funds for economic development activities, which includes microloan
programs and Section 108 loan repayment. HUD’s Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program provides CDBG
recipients with financing for economic development activities. The goal of the program is to provide the
public investment needed to catalyze private economic activity in underserved areas. The City utilizes
Section 108 financing to acquire properties for the development of commercial centers and in the
process creates jobs for City residents.
Additionally, the City uses its CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds to reduce the number of poverty-level
families through the provision of supportive services and housing assistance. Specifically, at least 70
percent of CDBG dollars must be used to benefit low- to moderate-income families.
How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this
affordable housing plan
The City allocated up to 15 percent of its CDBG funds annually to public and nonprofit service providers
to offer a range of supportive services, including those that fight poverty. Additionally, the City is using
its funds to support other activities that address poverty, such as housing rehabilitation,
homeownership programs, rental assistance, and economic development.

Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities
carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with
requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the
comprehensive planning requirements
The City undertakes monitoring: program monitoring for ESG, CDBG and HOME.
ESG. The City is required to monitor Sub-Recipients for compliance with ESG regulations. As per Federal
regulations, 24 CFR Part 576 of HUD’s Monitoring Guidance for the ESG Program, the City has developed
comprehensive monitoring process. As part of the monthly claim reimbursement process, a desk audit
will be conducted on each claim prior to approval for payment. Additional information or
documentation may be requested, at the time of desk audit. A recipient will be notified 30 days in
advance of the monitoring visit and interview and provided with a monitoring checklist, tools and
resources. After the monitoring visit, the City will provide Sub-Recipient with a written monitoring
report inclusive of any findings, concerns or comments. If required, the sub-recipient must provide
timely corrective action to findings and failure to do so may result in the withholding and/or return of
ESG funds to the City or other possible remedies as described in the Sub-Recipient Agreement signed by
Sub-Recipient and the City (See attached Sub-Recipient monitoring checklist).
HOME. The City provides ongoing monitoring and conducts annual inspections in order to ensure
compliance with the following requirements for its TBRA program: Units must meet Section 8 Housing
Quality Standards (HQS) and meet lead-based paint standards per the Lead Safe Housing Rule of 24 CFR
Part 35, Units must be of an appropriate size for the household based on either local or state codes or a
PJ’s established standard, Any rent increases by the landlord must be reviewed and approved by the PJ
throughout the length of the household’s TBRA assistance contract. Staff is required to create an
affordable housing monitoring file for each HOME assisted rental property; with the contents of the file
generally including a copy of the recorded affordability covenant, a summary coversheet detailing the
specific affordability requirements for the property as described within the covenant, annual HOME
Income Limit Tables, annual HOME rent schedules, all utility allowance schedules. Program staff shall
retain copies of all correspondence related to the property owner.
CDBG. HD Staff performs monitoring visits at Subrecipient locations to determine compliance with
federal rules and regulations and in accordance with 2 CFR 200.330 and 2 CFR 200.331. Monitoring visits
involve HD Staff members who examine program and financial matters related to the City’s CDBG
Program. Subrecipients answer a series of questions that are consistent with the CDBG Subrecipient
Monitoring Checklist, which includes questions pertaining to the CDBG Program and other federal
requirements (See CDBG Monitoring Checklist). Program staff has developed the following monitoring
procedures to ensure consistency with HUD’s recommended best practices: Send notification letter/e-
mail to Subrecipient prior to scheduled monitoring visit, Conduct entrance interview, Complete CDBG
Subrecipient Monitoring Checklist, including determination if Subrecipient is subject to Single Audit

follow-up monitoring response to the Subrecipient within 15 working days of the completion of the
monitoring, Allow Subrecipient 15 days to respond to findings and/or concerns, Reply to Subrecipient’s

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
The City will leverage its federal resources with state and private capital in order to develop quality affordable housing for San Bernardino
residents. Additional funds to serve the needs of lower- and moderate-income residents were derived from a variety of other sources, including:
Federal Resources. Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, Tax Exempt Bond Financing,
Community Investment Funds from Dignity Health
State Resources. Tax Exempt bonds, State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, No Place Like Home, Community Reinvestments Funds,
Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) from California State Department of Housing, Veteran Housing and Homeless Prevention Program. In
2017, the governor signed the Building Homes and Jobs Act (SB 2), which established a $75 recording fee on real estate documents to increase
the supply of affordable housing in California. Funding is used to help cities and counties accelerate housing production, streamline approval of
housing development, facilitate housing affordability, promote development, and ensure geographic equity in the distribution of funds. The City
submitted a grant application under SB 2 to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for the sum of $625,000.
Local Resources. San Bernardino County Continuum of Care, Housing Authority of San Bernardino County (HACSB)
Private Resources. Dignity Health, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, San Bernardino Unified School District, City of San Bernardino Successor
Housing Agency
HOME Match. HUD requires HOME recipients to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation. In FY 2019-2020, the City received a 100
percent match reduction due to severe fiscal distress. It is anticipated that in 2020-2021 the City will also receive a 100 percent match reduction.
If a reduction is not granted, the City of San Bernardino will continue to leverage its HOME funds with other housing resources. Any funds that
are used in a HOME activity in excess of the required match will be documented by the City and reported to HUD as part of the Consolidated
Annual Performance and Evaluation Report each year.
ESG Match. HUD requires ESG recipients to match 100 percent of their ESG annual allocation. For those organizations that received ESG funds,
agencies met the match requirement through utilization of volunteerism, in-kind contributions and funds from other local, state and federal
programs. In addition, qualified City staff will provide in-kind services for necessary program oversight, review project work receipts, and
administer other matching funds from state and federal programs, such as CDBG. Staff timecards will be used to document all in-kind service
hours.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
According to the City’s 2013-2021 Housing Element update, the City of San Bernardino has enough
vacant land and land designated for residential use to satisfy all projected housing needs. Additionally,
the City has not identified any constraints on these sites that would prevent development or reuse. The
City estimates that 12,918 housing units could be accommodated on this land.
Additionally, the governor of California continues to explore the use of state and federal surplus
property to provide housing for homeless individuals
Discussion
The City has enough available land and residential designations to meet the affordable housing needs of
the community. HUD allocations are critical to meeting these needs; however, they are not sufficient to
address all the needs of LMI households. Therefore, the City will continue to continue to leverage other
funding sources to provide services to populations in need.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
The City will use its funding for PY 2020-2021 to finance a variety of housing, community development,
economic development, and capital improvement projects. The majority of the funding will be used to
finance projects targeting low- to moderate-income individuals and families throughout the City.
CDBG Benefit Service Areas are defined as geographic locations within the City of San Bernardino where
51 percent or more of the households in those areas are low- to moderate-income. The 2010 U.S.
Census identified approximately 68.9 percent of the City consisted of households with low or moderate
incomes. A map of the Low / Moderate Income Target Areas is attached to this document.
The City of San Bernardino has become increasingly diverse in its racial and ethnic makeup. Over the
past decades the City has seen a shift from a non-Hispanic, White majority to a Hispanic Origin majority.
According to the U.S. 2010 Census, approximately 60 percent of the population is of Hispanic Origin, 19
percent is Non-Hispanic, White, 14.2 percent is Black, 3.8 percent is Asian and 2.9 percent is comprised
of some “Other” race or ethnicity.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
The funding available under the 2020-2021 Action Plan may be used to meet a variety of community
development and housing needs. As part of the development of the 2020-2021 Action Plan, the City
established priority needs based on an in depth analysis of the several factors housing, homelessness,
poverty, special needs, lead hazards, institutional structure, etc. The City will utilize its federal funding to
pursue goals and objectives listed in the section “AP-20 Annual Goals and Objectives” of this document.
The City’s primary intent is to spend its CDBG funds in predominantly low income neighborhoods where
residents have the greatest need for housing/services. The City will focus on low to moderate income
neighborhoods where there is a greatest need in the parks, such as having the playground equipment
replaced, because those are the areas of greatest need.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
Public housing and other assisted housing programs are crucial elements of the City’s efforts to address
affordable housing needs of low- and moderate-income families, senior citizens, disabled individuals,
and other individuals.
The City falls within the jurisdiction of the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB).
This agency administers the Housing Choice Voucher Program, which provides rental assistance to
eligible residents of San Bernardino by providing monthly rental assistance to participants who want to
rent from a private landlord, but cannot afford the full monthly rental payment. The Housing Choice
Voucher program is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
In 2019, the latest year for which data is available, HACSB provided 10,798 housing choice vouchers
throughout San Bernardino County, assisting 25,331 individuals. Of those 10,798 housing choice
vouchers, 2,694 were issued to San Bernardino City residents.
The City will continue to support the efforts of HACSB in the administration of the Housing Choice
Voucher and maximize the use of those funds and other resources in San Bernardino.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
To assist HACSB in addressing public housing needs, the City will do the following:
Monitor At-Risk Units. The City will maintain contact with the owners of at-risk units, encourage the
owner to keep the at-risk units affordable and utilize, if feasible, local incentives to preserve any at-risk
units
Support and Assist Local Non-Profit Organizations. In order to develop or preserve the City's affordable
stock, the City will provide technical and/or financial assistance to local non-profit organizations that
provide affordable housing.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
The City does not own any public housing units, therefore has not undertaken efforts to encourage
public housing residents to become more involved in the management of public housing units. However,
the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) does undertake actions to encourage
public housing residents to contribute and participate in the management and HACSB has a
homeownership program for residents of public housing.
As for homeownership opportunities, the City has initiated an Infill Housing Program that will acquire

distressed properties within San Bernardino, rehabilitate them and sell them to income qualified
homebuyers. The City will work with HACSB, to identify any households who may be eligible for the
Housing Choice Voucher Program.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino has not been designated as troubled. Actually it
has a moving to work designation which is a designation that a limited number of PHAs across the
country have.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction
According to the San Bernardino County 2019 Homeless PIT Count there were 883 homeless persons in
the City. A total of 244 individuals were sheltered and 639 were unsheltered. To address this issue, the
City will allocate approximately $295,799 in ESG funds to homeless service providers who are skilled at
transitioning homeless individuals and families from homelessness to permanent housing through a
variety of activities including street outreach, homeless prevention, rapid re-housing, emergency shelter
and essential services.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City is an active member of the San Bernardino CoC and fully supports the goals and objectives of
the San Bernardino County 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness. To reach out to homeless persons
and assess their individual needs, the City will continue to support the CoC’s coordinated entry system,
2-1-1 San Bernardino County. The Coordinated Entry System will provide people who are at imminent
risk of becoming homeless (HUD Homeless definition (Category 2) with problem solving support to
retain current housing or to locate get housing placement.
The City is continuing its contract in FY 2020-2021 with Step Up On Second, with the goal of reaching 78
homeless persons through street outreach, providing social service referrals to 49 of those 78 persons
and facilitating the placement of 13 homeless persons into permanent housing.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City will continue to fund Lutheran Social Services Southern California (LSSC) to provide an
emergency men’s shelter. LSSSC has submitted plans to the City for a preliminary review of a new men’s
shelter with a 75-bed capacity.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City of San Bernardino recognizes that homelessness is a regional issue that impacts every
Packet Pg. 881
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 149
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
community in the region. As the largest community in the County, the City also serves as a hub for
service providers. The City supports the efforts of the network of agencies working to end homelessness
through the Regional Continuum of Care Strategy. The Continuum of Care Strategy involves four key
components, one of which is homeless prevention. The provision of preventative services will decrease
the number of households and individuals who will become homeless and require emergency shelters
and assistance. The City is working to prevent persons from becoming homeless by funding emergency
rental assistance for households at-risk of homelessness.
Utilizing its HOME dollars, the City funded the acquisition of the Golden Apartments a 21-unit apartment
complex that has been rehabilitated and converted into 38 one-bedroom apartments of supportive
housing for homeless persons. Residents moved into their new one-bedroom flats in December 2019.
Golden has onsite health and mental health services available through the Department of Behavioral
Health and Molina Health.
The City has partnered with Step Up on Second to provide street outreach services to homeless persons
and assist them with obtaining their vital documents, housing navigation, transportation to
appointments and placement in permanent housing. To date, in FY 2019-2020, Step Up has housed 13
individuals and provided linkage to services to 78 persons.
San Bernardino County’s 10-Year Strategy for Ending Homelessness was recalibrated in 2013 to focus on
a rapid re-housing approach that is also consistent with a Housing First Model. This approach is intended
to minimize the amount a time an individual or family remains homeless or in shelters. The Housing First
Model also focuses on homeless prevention by emphasizing the need to keep individuals and families in
their current housing if appropriate.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs
The City will continue to support the regional CoC’s efforts to implement the San Bernardino County 10-
Year Strategy for Ending Homelessness. This plan includes a recommendation to focus on discharge
planning in order to prevent people from becoming homeless when they are discharged from
correctional, foster care, health care, or mental health care systems. The McKinney-Vento Act requires
that State and local governments have policies and protocols in place to ensure that persons being
discharged from a publicly-funded institution or system of care are not discharged immediately into
homelessness. In order to meet HUD’s requirements, the 10-Year Strategy has established a Discharge
Planning Committee to focus on improving coordination between discharge planning agencies, local
government, and homeless service providers in order to implement a “zero tolerance” plan that will
prevent persons being discharged into homelessness.

Discussion
In 2018, the City declared a shelter crisis which allowed agencies to apply for the State’s Homeless
Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) funding. Four agencies serving homeless persons in the City of San
Bernardino received $2.1 million in HEAP funds that can be used over four years. The CoC’s coordinated
entry system provides a single point of entry for people who are homeless to be screened and assessed
for a range of CoC and City funded homeless programs, including emergency shelters, transitional
housing, permanent supportive housing, and rapid rehousing services. All contracted service providers
report outcomes based on the countywide outcome standards developed by the County Office of
Homeless Services, in order to inform future adjustments to the service system.
In FY 18-19, the City facilitated the purchase of two (2) multi-family properties by Foothill Aides Project.
In FY 19-20 those properties will be rehabilitated and leased to low-income persons with HIV/Aids.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
The City recognizes that barriers to affordable housing exist and continues to employ strategies to
overcome them. Policies can create barriers to the production of affordable housing and residential
investment because such factors increase costs. The high cost of affordable housing and residential
investment can be contributed to the following:
•Lack of Affordable Housing Funds: The availability of funding for affordable housing has been
severely affected by the dissolution of redevelopment agencies. Prior to 2012, redevelopment
activities and funding was the City’s primary tool for assisting with neighborhood revitalization
efforts and production of affordable housing. The loss of this funding represents a constraint for
the City of San Bernardino’s efforts to continue to support neighborhood revitalization. Now the
City relies on private resources, federal grant programs, state resources, and philanthropy to
fund affordable housing projects.
•Environmental Protection: State law (California Environmental Quality Act and California
Endangered Species Act) and federal law (National Environmental Policy Act and Federal
Endangered Species Act) regulations require environmental review of proposed discretionary
projects (e.g., subdivision maps, use permits, etc.). Costs and time delay resulting from the
environmental review process are also added to the cost of housing.
•Site Improvements: Many parts of San Bernardino are undeveloped and lack adequate
pedestrian and automobile infrastructure to support new residential subdivisions. All new
residential development is required to provide sidewalk with curbs and gutters and must be
served by appropriate roadways consistent with the General Plan Circulation Element and
adopted road development standards. The cost of these improvements increases the cost of
development, but is necessary to facilitate pedestrian and vehicular access and movement in
the City.
•Planning and Development Fees: Planning and development impact fees, such as for
transportation, water, and sewer infrastructure improvements, often add to the overall cost of
development. The City’s fees reflect the fair share of the costs of providing permitting,
infrastructure, and services for new residences.
•Permit and Processing Procedures: Builders and developers frequently cite the cost of holding
land during the evaluation and review process as a significant factor in the cost of housing. The
City of San Bernardino’s development review process is designed to accommodate growth
without compromising quality. Project quality is of critical concern, as the City faces challenges
in securing foreclosed single-family homes and poorly maintained multifamily complexes.
•State and Federal Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wages: The State Department of Industrial Relations
(DIR) expanded the kinds of projects that require the payment of prevailing wages. Prevailing
wage adds to the overall cost of development. A prevailing wage must also be paid to laborers
when federal funds are used to pay labor costs for any project over $2,000 or on any multi-
Packet Pg. 884
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 152
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
family project over eight units. Based on discussions with developers, various prevailing wage
requirements typically inflate the development costs by 35 percent.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The City undertook a major effort to eliminate constraints, with respect to land use regulations, by
developing and adopting a new Development Code that unified and simplified the City’s development
regulations and processes. That effort was followed by a reorganization of the City to unify the various
development-related departments into a single Community Development Department and a one-stop
permit counter. The City has made the following additional amendments to the Municipal Code in order
to further reduce barriers to affordable housing:
1.General Lot Consolidation Incentive - Small, individual lots offer limited development potential,
and generally cannot support onsite property management. Development opportunities could
be increased through a small-lot consolidation program that offers a 15 percent density bonus
for projects with a residential component that are committing to a maintenance plan and having
on-site management. The City is anticipating amending the Development Code to incentivize lot
Consolidation.
2.Density Bonus Provisions - Density bonus projects can be an important source of housing for
lower and moderate income households. The City anticipates amending the Development Code
to reflect the latest amendments to State density bonus law.
3.Transitional and Supportive Housing - The City plans to amend the Development Code to
adequately define transitional and permanent supportive housing and permit these uses based
on unit type, in accordance with Senate Bill 2.
4.Streamlined Processing - The City is committed to continuing the streamlining of development
activities and regulations and will continue to analyze potential programs that seek to eliminate
land use constraints, particularly as related to the provision of new housing and rehabilitation of
existing housing. The City amended its Development Code in 2012 to make it more user-friendly
and to minimize confusion for staff and the development community. As part of the
Development Code update, the City also introduced a new streamlined type of Conditional Use
Permit: the Minor Use Permit (MUP). The MUP is reviewed by the Development/Environmental
Review Committee rather than the Planning Commission, which requires less staff time (and a
relatively shorter process for developers), lower fees, and can be used in lieu of a CUP for
certain qualified projects.
5.The City will update its General Plan.

To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the
Packet Pg. 885
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 153
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Consolidated Plan calls for the investment of CDBG and/or HOME funds to preserve and rehabilitate
housing units and provide homeownership opportunities to low and moderate-income households.
For PY 2020-2021, the City will continue to fund its Infill Housing Program and its Owner Occupied
Residential Rehabilitation Program (OORP). The OORP will be funded with carryover funds from last year
that were not fully expended. Through the City’s Infill Housing Program, the City will acquire,
rehabilitate vacant and/or underutilized parcels of land and create housing affordable to low- and
moderate-income households. The Owner Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program will provide
deferred loans for the rehabilitation of single family units owned by low and moderate income
households.
Although the City no longer has access to redevelopment funds, the City will continue to leverage its
CDBG and HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources, including land conveyed
to the City for the purpose of creating affordable housing for low- and moderate- income households.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
To address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, the City will allocate CDBG, uncommitted HOME
and ESG funds through the Action plan in projects that provide financing for the affordable housing
development, housing rehabilitation, job creation, public facility/infrastructure improvements and
homeless prevention. Lack of resources is the primary obstacle to meeting underserved needs. In order
to leverage additional ongoing resources for housing and homeless services, the City is applying for the
Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds which are administered by the State Department of
Housing and Community Development to It anticipated that in the 2021 the City can receive up to $1.6
million in PLHA funds.
The City will also support HACSB’s efforts to obtain additional rental assistance funding, especially for
seniors and lower-income households.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
Packet Pg. 887
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 155
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
The City will invest HOME funds to expand the supply of affordable housing and will use HOME funds to
preserve and maintain existing affordable housing through the City of San Bernardino’s Owner-Occupied
Rehabilitation Loan Program.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
To reduce lead-based paint hazards and in accordance, housing constructed prior to 1978 and assisted
through the City of San Bernardino’s Owner Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program will be tested
for lead based paint hazards. If lead based-paint hazards are found, safe work practices or abatement
procedures will be included in the scope of work for the rehabilitation of the housing unit. All
procedures will be in compliance with 24 CFR Part 35.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
For PY 2020-2021, the City will support:
•An Infill Housing Program that will acquire and rehabilitate/construct underutilized properties
within the City and when complete sell these homes to low- and moderate income households
•Micro Enterprise Program that will provide small business development training and support to
income qualified clients who are wish to start their own small business.
•Service providers who can provide street outreach, rapid-rehousing, homeless prevention,
emergency shelter, and other essential services to homeless and near-homeless persons and
families.
•The improvement of various park facilities within income-eligible areas of the City that provide
recreational and support services to low- and moderate-income residents of the City.
•The efforts of HACSB, who provides rental assisance and conventional housing to low-income
households.
•The efforts of the CoC, San Bernardino County Behavioral Health Administration, Office of
Homeless Services and various Homeless Service Agencies to provider public and social services
to residents living in poverty, including health services, counseling, educational programs, food
distribution, academic and vocational training, youth services, and senior services.
•The goals and objectives of San Bernardino County 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness.
•The CoC’s coordinated entry system, 2-1-1 San Bernardino County that provides persons who
are at imminent risk of becoming homeless with problem solving support to retain current
housing or to locate another housing placement.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
During the next year, the San Bernardino Community & Economic Development Department will
continue consulting with and inviting a wide variety of agencies and organizations (i.e. CoC, HACSB,
National CORE, County of San Bernardino Community Development and Housing Agency, etc.) involved
with the delivery of housing and social services to low- and moderate-income San Bernardino residents.
Packet Pg. 888
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 156
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
This will allow to coordinate the City's activities by not duplicating efforts and to know what other
agencies are doing. Currently, the City is working with the Center for Community Investment and Dignity
Health (Accelerating investments for Healthy Communities). The City's collaboration with CCI and
Dignity Health has resulted in the investment of $1.2 million in permanently affordable rental housing in
the City. These types of collaborations build the capacity for the City to continue providing affordable
housing.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
During the next year, the San Bernardino Community & Economic Development Department will
continue consulting with a wide variety of agencies and organizations such as HACSB, County Workforce
Development, County Department of Behavioral Health and County Office on Aging and Adult Services
involved with the delivery of housing, supportive services and economic development to low- and
moderate- income San Bernardino residents. Workforce Development, for example, provides job
placement services for person in the County and also provides up to three months of paid on the job
training and any equipment that an employee may require to carry their new job. In the realm of
economic development, the City recently established a partnership with the Mexican Consulate’s
“Emprendedoras” program. The program partners with the Small Business Administration and the City’s
Micro Enterprise program to provide Spanish language training for persons interested in launching a
small business or expanding an existing small business. Through the City’s partnership with the
“Emprendedoras” program, the City will cross promote the services available through Workforce
Development.

Packet Pg. 890
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 158
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
as follows:
The City does not anticipate using other forms of investment beyond those identified in Section
92.205.
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used
for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
HOME Recapture Provision If Buyer at any time during the Period of Affordability sells or transfers
the Eligible Property, whether voluntarily or involuntarily due to foreclosure or other circumstance,
the following provisions shall apply, pursuant to 24 C.F.R. Part 92.254:
1. If Buyer sells or transfers the Eligible Property within the first two years of the Period of
Affordability, City shall recover from the Net Proceeds, if any, the entire amount of the HOME
Subsidy, or such lesser amount as the Net Proceeds may permit to be recovered. The Net
Proceeds are the sales price paid to Buyer minus repayment of loans that are superior in priority
to this Affordable Housing Covenant and the Deed of Trust securing it, and any closing costs.
2. If Buyer sells or transfers the Eligible Property after occupying the Eligible Property for at least
two years (24 months from the Delivery Date), City’s recovery from the Net Proceeds shall equal
the amount of the HOME Subsidy, reduced by a percentage determined by dividing the number
of Buyer’s full years of occupation of the Eligible Property by the number of years of the Period
of Affordability, and multiplying the result by 100. In calculating recapture of the HOME subsidy
only full 12-month periods of occupancy will be utilized in the calculation. For example, if Buyer
sells or transfers the Eligible Property during the third year, before the completion of the full
third year of a ten-year Period of Affordability, the percentage reduction of the amount of the
HOME Subsidy to be recovered by City shall equal 20 percent: (2 years ÷ 10 years) × 100 = 20.
Assuming sufficient Net Proceeds, City would recover 80 percent of the HOME Subsidy. If there
were not sufficient Net Proceeds, City would recover 80 percent of Net Proceeds, whatever the
amount.
3. In no event shall City’s recovery exceed the amount of the Net Proceeds.
The City requires that its CHDO/subrecipients, who carry out HOME funded ownership programs,
utilize the noted recapture provisions, which are part of the affordability covenant executed by the
homeowner and recorded against the property.
In its homeownership and single family rehabilitation programs the City utilizes the homeownership
limits for the San Bernardino Metropolitan/FMR Area provided by HUD.

Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 159
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired
with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:
Measured from the Delivery Date and determined based on the amount of the HOME Subsidy, as
follows:
Amount of HOME Subsidy Period of Affordability
•Amount of HOME Subsidy: Less than $15,000 Period of Affordability: 5 years
•Amount of HOME Subsidy: $15,000 to $40,000 Period of Affordability: 10 years
•Amount of HOME Subsidy: More than $40,000 Period of Affordability:15 years
The City's affordability covenant requires that HOME units acquired with HOME funds remain
affordable for the period noted based on the amount of HOME subsidy. The City requires that its
CHDO/subrecipients who carry out HOME funded ownership programs utilize the noted recapture
provisions, which are part of the affordability covenant executed by the homeowner and recorded
against the property.
In its homeownership and single family rehabilitation programs the City utilizes the homeownership
limits for the San Bernardino Metropolitan/FMR Area provided by HUD.
4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is
rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that
will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:

is rehabilitated with HOME funds. The City will not undertake the refinancing of single family units
rehabilitated with HOME funds. With regard to eligible beneficiaries, the City will adhere to the
requirements under 24 CFR 2.203 with regard to income determinations; 92.216 with respect to
incomes of applicants; 92.253 with regard to tenant protections and selection and other HOME
regulatory requirements that ensure beneficiaries are not precluded from participating in HOME
funded programs.
The City utilizes Notice of Funding Availability and Requests for Proposals to solicit applications for
funding under the HOME program. Solicitations for applications are conducted as funds are available
