City Council - Regular Meeting
The City Council discussed and ultimately denied a proposal for a new McDonald's restaurant, citing concerns about the type of development desired for the city and the impact on public health. The council also addressed a cannabis dispensary relocation, which generated significant public opposition due to its proximity to churches and residential areas, and approved the annual action plan for community development block grants and emergency solutions grants.

Y ahora estamos listos a las presentaciones, la presentación del Día de Independencia, junio, 19 de la ciudad de San Bernardino, junio 19, 2026, todos los distritos electorales. Okay, very good. This is the proclamation of the Mayor of Kansas City, June 10th, 19th of June, the Independence Day. In San Bernardino, 865 of the Texas Independence had announced the end of the Civil War and the emancipation. And in that way, the proclamation could be issued on June 19, as the independence of these people would also be the day of jubilation, the day of freedom, with the promise of equality and freedom with a symbol of perseverance of the entire black race that lived in the United States. It is declared, pardon me, and proclaimed June 19 as a national holiday. in all of the United States of North America. And it's also a vibrant community with an incredible contribution to culture and society without really unreachable measurement. And we must also honor, celebrate and preserve and observe June 19 as a reminder of the need to discard and end racism, because all people are equal, no matter their race, their origin, their religion, their gender. So in the Sizzling, the concerts or the concerts of the summer nights in Sizzling, we're going to have the proclamation of this new date, June 19, 2026, as Juneteenth, the day of the impendence in the city of San Bernardino.

I'm here today to talk to this council to take a call.
I'm here today to talk to this council to take a call. I'm here today to talk to this council to take a call. I'm here today to talk to this council to take a call. I'm here today to talk to this council to take a call. but don't punish this prohibition to the people who live from the rent of the houses. And in that way, I, for example, can be a mother who can take care of her son because I have income by renting a house. And this prohibition is punishing families like mine. Their planning committee agreed to this prohibition. Everyone voted for it. And also the C-164 ordinance is really worrying legally. no se pueden prohibir los las rentas a corto plazo entonces esto significa que el uso era lícito y se invirtió de buena fe y también tuvimos un marco legal el cual apoyarnos no hubo ninguno ninguna participación fraudulenta las personas más perjudicadas no son inversores o grandes capitalistas, son tan solo familias que nacieron aquí, nacimos aquí, nos criamos aquí. Esta prohibición realmente nos perjudica y de esa manera fuerzan a los vecinos a perder sus ingresos. Por favor, este programa that generates TOT for the city. I know that there are concerns of the residents in the neighborhoods. I respectfully ask the councilors to interrupt this prohibition in terms of the members of the community who are not investors or multimillionaires, but who live from these rentas, por favor, ayúdenos. Solo perjudica esta prohibición a nosotros, a las personas que, por ejemplo, yo soy una mamá y trabajo en mi casa y me manejo con mis ingresos con estas rentas. Buenas noches. Mi nombre es Ana Rufa Unión. Yo nací y me crié en San Martín. Me gradué de la escuela secundaria y también tengo licencia de la ciudad de California. Entonces, como muchas personas, fui a la universidad y comencé mi carrera. Regresé porque este es el lugar donde yo elegí llevar adelante mi vida y mi familia. Es mi casa. Entonces, se debe reconocer que la maya... part of the people are not large corporations. We are talking about this ordinance, MC 1661, which prohibits short-term income for all all the electoral sectors that recommend that the AMC 1661 amended section 19.02050 provisions and basic definitions and chapter 1904 of residential areas, the development code of San Bernardino that is prohibiting these Propiedades que se rentan para vacaciones y a corto plazo en la ciudad de San Bernardino, nos está perjudicando esta previsión. Son muchas familias las que rentan, rentan para deportes, rentan para eventos familiares. eventos religiosos para la iglesia, gente que viaja con perritos y gatitos, gente que visita a sus parientes. Todas esas personas son las que rentan estas casitas a corto plazo. No van a poder ya hacerlo más. No van a poder visitar más. En California del Sur, que son las casas a rentar a corto plazo, realmente uh le ayudan a las personas con el dinerito que pueden realmente lograr con estas rentas y esta previsión realmente nos perjudica nosotros aceptamos la limpieza aceptamos el silencio aceptamos que no haya ruido aceptamos que se investiguen nuestras casas y los impuestos tambien del TOT You are receiving it. It's an interesting income for the city government. We are all supporting Thank you for your time and consideration. Thank you for your consideration. Yo soy Erica, soy dueño de una casa y estoy oponiéndome a la ordenanza número MC 1661 que prohíbe las rentas a corto plazo en todos los distritos electorales. El AMC 1661 que enmienda la sección 19.0250, las provisiones básicas y sus definiciones, el capítulo 1904 de las zonas residenciales según el Código de Desarrollo de San Bernardino. de las viviendas que se rentan para vacaciones y a corto plazo en la ciudad de San Bernardino. Estoy opuesto, estoy opuesto a esta prohibición de rentar y nosotros tratamos a nuestros vecinos respetuosamente. Las casas están bien, no molestan. Nadie quiere gente sospechosa, pero yo respetuosamente le pido al Consejo to be responsible and to consider that there are responsible people. We who have homes in perfect condition, it would be better principalmente para estas rentas. Entonces, estas rentas solamente ocurren tres fines de semana en todo un año. Muchos de los huéspedes vienen a utilizar nuestras propiedades para, son por ejemplo, profesionales que viajan, viajantes, vendedores ambulantes y viajantes, son enfermeras, licenciadas, family who comes to visit another family, people on vacation and who come to special tasks and sports and they are people who take care of the houses very well, respectfully. Is it really fair to eliminate a complete industry in this way? Why do they eliminate it in this way? We are helping the restaurants and all the is a really responsible way to raise the San Bernardino trade. These rents are helping. Yucca Valley, Riverside, Los Angeles, they all implemented regulations and requirements for these rents. Good evening, mayor and council members. Buenas noches, concejales. Soy Daniela Aguant, y también soy una operadora de alquileres rentas a corto plazo de San Bernardino. Contrario a lo que fue sugerido en la reunión, la mayor parte de nosotros somos dueños y operamos las rentas a corto plazo. Nosotros somos familias. Nosotros no ganamos cientos de miles de dólares de ninguna manera. For example, I rent a house, I have an almost deaf child. This money that I receive with short-term income helps my food, helps my family. I struggle to understand that the city does not have the resources to make the changes. If this prohibition continues, the city will have to spend resources. I also understand that there has been legal action against the city. So with this prohibition, and it will also cost in terms of litigation, they will spend money, councillors, no tendría más sentido regular el aparcamiento ilícito o el ruido de personas que rentan casas y se portan mal y no las personas como las que yo rento que son excelentes y que cuidan a la casa y el vecindario. Respeciosamente le pido al Consejo to understand that the personal experience is not more important than the exceptions. It is important to see the majority, and the majority of those who rent houses have the houses in perfect condition, help the city, do not withdraw this very important source of income that I am renting and that many others are renting. Thank you all. The secretary with the mayor does not hear. Buenas noches, honorable alcaldesa y miembros del consejo. Mi nombre es Arbel, y aquí estoy, no solamente como residente preocupado, sino como una persona que creció en San Bernardino. and that they are really concerned. I want you to reconsider the ordinance, the adoption of ordinance number MC 1661, prohibiting short-term income for all districts, more than $300,000 annually. for the city's income. For example, the taxes that come with short-term income. The infrastructure needs, we can't forget that these incomes and these income help the essential services of the city of San Bernardino, the parks, the streets. With this prohibition, it is really harmful to economic growth. There are more than 100 houses that are rented in the short term. Of these 100 houses that are rented in the short term, only five acted badly, they bothered the neighbors, only five. So there are many more properties that really contribute positively to the community. On the other hand, the concerns of fires, I listened to the previous meetings, but there are no reports of any fires in terms of San Bernardino. As a person who grew up here, it is also very important understand that fires are devastating. In El Tin, in Dorado 2020, 2019, in El Dorado 2020, the Lime fire. And also none of these or none of these fires were caused by short-term rented homes. This decision, if you continue with this provision, will be very harmful for everyone. if you can or you can visit all the electoral districts and all our precincts, you will see that there are no problems with the rents. Many houses have access roads of two cars. They regularly have 5 to 7. So the Thank you so much. Mi pedimento es... La concejala Ibarra pide que no se lleve adelante la prohibición a las viviendas de corta renta. Councilmember Sanchez? Yes. Sí. Councilmember Ibarra? Yes.
Councilmember Figueroa?
Sí, Figueroa, sí, Ibarra. Four to three, prohibition is denied. So that leaves us with a ban or regulation.
So I will move to have a direct staff. I have a vision of a ban or regulation.

areas de la ciudad. Pienso que tendría que ser en toda la ciudad. Si alguna persona vive en una parte de la ciudad, si la restringen o prohíben ahí, manda el mensaje incorrecto. Algo está permitido en una parte de la ciudad, pero no permitido o prohibido en otra parte de la ciudad. Eso no es justo. Gracias, concejal. Los comentarios. Canals? I would like some clarity because the restrictions were specific to the areas of fire. It wasn't really in other electoral districts. It was specifically where the fires occurred. Yes, it was where the fires occurred. Lloret, then Ibarra. My comment is that the areas are in danger of fire. Eric, is that it? No, no, no, go ahead. I just wanted to, I wanted to talk before you voted. That is my comment. We have worked on this for five years and the council has voted twice to ban it. And now we are changing. So I understand the concerns and I understand that The income is not for the city, but for the owners of the houses, I understand that, but we are costing the cost of those four, five, six, or ten, everything that is problematic. We are taking the cost of these problems and also the neighbors are suffering the cost of this. I don't think it should be for specific areas, but I can't support anything that doesn't cover the fire areas. We've had fires in our slums, in our city. They've burned houses in the city of San Bernardino. And really, I don't want them to be I'll kill and rent and those on the ice on a Seattle to reach the incendiary to them in Ortiz. So let me take it as a recall. I look at this coffee girl. I put a space to see you go, but they put a cell para back screen loss. This Tito's electoral is 752. And does this. uh uh un parate arriba de la 210 y después se van a tener que tratar de pensar cómo van a regular abajo de la 210, la autopista. Entonces, esto nunca había permitido, no sé si es correcto, nuestro código municipal no permite the AirBnBs. So if we can move forward with provisions or regulations, we couldn't have a commercial license for an AirBnB, for a short-term income. So no one had a legal business renting in the short term. They needed a license and we're not giving them a license. So they were doing it illegally, renting, yes, yes, right? We have some commercial licenses for long-term rents. I just wanted to clarify what the conversation is about this topic. We have to do two things. So is it all or is it nothing? So I listen, I talked to his residents, Fred, I talked to his residents, I talked to my residents. Entonces, son lugares de alto riesgo y no son dueños de la casa, que pasa potencialmente con los petardos, los fuegos de artificio, las barbacoas. Entonces, si nosotros vamos a volver, yo pido que ustedes contesten las preguntas del Consejo Nacional. because we have understood this three times. Figueroa has talked about a tax for fines. We don't know, we report if the neighbors comply or not. We don't really have a specification of the Airbnb calls and no Airbnb calls because no one has a license, right? of renting short-term homes. When we don't have a license, we don't know who they are. We don't know if they are registered. The number is not exact because there are other mechanisms that are not operational businesses to put your house on rent in the market. So if you come back with information, bring me all the information. That way I can make an informed decision. Speaker 2 en la linea de fuego, tenemos que traer esto en el futuro. Es extremadamente importante porque es un problema de distrito electoral y nosotros estamos tratando de segregar este tema. Necesitamos un poquito más de claridad de cómo la determinación se hace y cuál es una zona de fuego y cuál no es. Eso sería de ayuda sin acusar. Y también estoy de acuerdo que nosotros tenemos que conseguir más información en cuanto a una de las preguntas que yo tengo. I don't want to. I don't know if this is a breakthrough having this conversation. Is this dialogue valid or not? It's fine if all of you submit directions to the municipal manager of the questions that you have, but I don't want you to have your own opinion of what you're doing. So if you have questions, we need you to come back if we're going to talk about the substance. . . . . . . . . . . . . the city that's literally right next to the top of the mountain. But now there's another city that's literally right next to the top of the mountain. or if it's within the fire line. We have to delimit it because I have problems with firecrackers, artificial fires. That's how we determine, we can determine where artificial fires are allowed, firecrackers. So short-term rentals are really dangerous or not for fire. I don't see the argument in terms of short-term rentals, if they have anything to do with fires. There are other parts of the city, for example, the center of the city, are dangerous in terms of fires, yes. and they have no prohibition because they are old buildings or buildings with certain characteristics. So if an area is allowed or not allowed, talking about the fire zones, if they are delimited or not, delimited or not to the fire zones, what are they? That's all. Good comment, Sheret. I would argue that the comment that was made due to the areas of fire would eliminate the seven. in District Electoral 7. It's not correct, really. So this would take, of course, areas of the Foothill, all in District Electoral 7. All four, all five are not there. So regulations are regulations. We regulate. or regul ordenamos después de análisis y sinceramente yo tengo la esperanza que los bomberos estuvieran involucrados en esta conversación pienso que podemos disputar todas las zonas de fuego entonces los expertos traen estas opiniones y trans regulaciones en cuanto to areas of high fire, we have to analyze this. And I said from the beginning, I think mainly that this would have to have been done five years ago. Five years ago, we wouldn't be here tonight for the third time voting and flip-flopping, which is really a big problem, in my opinion. So this has been talked about and it has been tried Muchísimo, los reglamentos son reglamentos y hay que respetarlos. Yo tengo ansiedad de ver a los expertos aquí argumentando con los expertos de seguridad de incendios para que digan cuál es la zona de incendio o no. Último comentario, concejal Ortiz, es un documento público. So I just want to say that the firefighters have to explain this to us. This is what we use. And again, the fact that lack of knowledge doesn't mean that other people are wrong. You don't know what you're talking about. This bothers me so much because there are so many things that are segregated in this city. If we don't want to deal with them, where are the hills? Where are the fires? It's literally a map. Gracias, gracias por hablar de esto nuevamente. Señora alcaldesa y concejales, lo más pronto que puedan ustedes hablar en una audiencia pública o discusión. Audiencia pública, ya discutimos. Sería, por ejemplo, mínimo la segunda reunión en agosto para darnos tiempo Prefiero septiembre, pero agosto. Bueno, si necesitan septiembre, hagan septiembre porque ustedes tienen que hacer su trabajo. No sé si tenemos mucho tiempo. ¿Tenemos un pedimento y hay un apoyo? Sánchez. Mi pedimento por mi pedimento original tenía el punto final en julio. Mi pedimento para otra audiencia. Gracias, Sánchez. September, Sanchez? Yes. Barra, yes. Figueroa, yes. Sheret, yes. Sorry, I didn't hear the request completely. What is the request? Sanchez wants to bring short-term rents with the short-term regulatory rents, first meeting in September. El próximo septiembre, otro año. ¿Qué le parece? Digo que no. A ver, otro año, esperemos. Canas, sí. Flores, sí. Ortiz, sí. Pasa el pedimento 6 a 1. Gracias, gracias.

So again, I know we've talked about this. We're going to expand this contract for the property.

Buenas noches. to all members of the public, I am Christian Rodriguez, I am the manager of the housing division, also the May 6th housing division, we had the first public hearing and the draft was started and the action plan and it was also held and we were given more opinions and more research was done, this is the second Audiencia Publica, donde yo voy a poder presentar el plan de acción para adoptar el año fiscal 2026-27, el plan de acción anual para el subsidio en bloques de, el subsidio de desarrollo.

And also on June 17, 2026, there will be a public hearing to obtain the approval of the board members of the final annual action plan to be presented to HUD. And also in comparison and personal comparison of any review, the plan is presented tonight for approval. CDBG, we have the community program. It has various electable uses. They are public services and facilities, as well as housing rehabilitation, economic development, planning and administration. All activities should benefit people with low or moderate income. and also the activities should prevent or eliminate the carps or poor housing. All activities should also understand the urgent needs and we have annual times every April 30 for a program for the 30th of June program for the end of the year and also how we must comply with the times. The city cannot exceed 1.5 times its annual subscription. This is important. How can we impose this? We need to maintain the funds for the city. It has to be 1.5 annually. It will be studied on April 30th and corrections can be made for the action plan and we can have fall in this or reach the dates. And in this way it can be analyzed and it can also be understood that there are other funds. On May 6th, the Biden allocations for administration, which covers all the time of the municipal staff, and the expenses of staff and operations, and with a maximum allowed of 20%. La sección 108, el repago del préstamo y los fondos que se requirieran. También hay actividades elegibles de administración, sección 108, repago. También servicios públicos y proyectos de instalaciones públicas. For 2026-2027, we anticipate 2.746 million, 2,746,000 final, proposed 2,536,177, approximately 652,290 for repayment of Section 108. El máximo de 15% del servicio público serían 346,500. La figura de 2.7 millones no incluyen ningún fondo de reprogramación y los fondos disponibles no incluyen, como dije, ningún fondo reprogramado. Este proceso asegura que se utilice completamente los fondos disponibles. The public service activities are $346,000, and in this way, they will provide fair houses. The Inland Fair Housing Mediation will provide services to assist the city so that there are fair houses. And in that way, the Inland Empire housing services will also help the neighbors receive stabilizing support, as well as administrative and financial advice. And there will also be public improvement projects to try to address the problem of the homeless. And also, they're going to provide houses for people with low or moderate income. They're going to help with better credit, they're going to help with savings, and they're going to help people buy their home for the first time. And also, public bathrooms will be given to the indigenous people, food, and there will be projects of public facilities that will include the improvements of Perry's Hill Park through prefabricated facilities. El personal va a trabajar juntos para ver la factibilidad de varios lugares y Paris Hill era el lugar donde mejor se utilizaron los fondos. Esta determinación se utilizó en cuanto a opiniones comunitarias y también las eficiencias administrativas y también las inversiones de CDBG y también prefiriendo in the administration and also in the administration, there are regulatory associated costs as well, including the environmental review and also the compliance and America by America requirements and also all the funds available from CDC and its overall efficiency, focusing the funds on a single project They help to maximize the project and efficiency. Finally, this investment also talks about public improvement projects, as already mentioned, with accessible public bathrooms and amenities in all the parks in the city. Here we see the photos. with photos of the modular bathrooms. Each one will have four bathrooms where any gender can enter. The Home Investment Partnership Program is also a program that delivers or promotes resources for projects viviendas para personas de bajo recurso también multifamiliares también proyectos de rehabilitación de las casas también asistencia al comprador de casas o de su casa por primera vez y también nuevas construcciones We have applications for the year 2026-2027. Approximately $1,092,000 proposed, and final $1,161,000. emergency solutions El subsidio de soluciones de emergencia se enfoca en los indigentes, en la inestabilidad de viviendas, en los shelters y mejorarlos. También la prevención de indigentes. 180 días sería el tiempo final de los fondos. 180 días sería según el acuerdo con el subsidio HUD.
for fiscal year 2020.
for the fiscal year 2026 2027 the city expects approximately 238 000 dollars of funds and also 17 900 would be the administration which would be within the 7.5 maximum and we also have 220 000 dollars that will be allocated to the salvation army which really always gives a roof and shelter for the emergency people and also food. La recomendación del personal es que se apruebe y se adopte el año fiscal 2026-2027 con su plan de acción anual para el subsidio en bloque de desarrollo comunitario para la sociedad de inversión home y también para los programas de subsidio de soluciones de emergencias, inclusive todos los cambios incorporados resultando of public processes and also the CBG and also the CDBG and also approve the community development block subsidy and all necessary documents to review and approve for fund activities.

Tengo preguntas por los baños. I've seen this in other cities. There are opportunities to control the times they can be in so that a person is not sleeping all day in the bathroom. Yes, we can talk about that and I can refer it to the Department of Public Works and the Indigent Division to ensure that it is implemented in terms of the CBG and the fund regulations and we can make any specific that they're going to deal with that. So we saw these options and also the public works. I think this is a valuable requirement. I also think there are options for people who bathe in the bathrooms, in terms of maintenance services. In terms of, yes, the houses, for low-income people. Are there projects, yes or no? It's something that we can ensure that people can come and ask us, yes. Typically, HOME requires us to do a competitive process, and in that way, to be able to do projects and also organizations of development that are sin fines de lucro y de esa manera podemos requerir más fondos y también de esa manera podemos pedir otras fuentes de fondos y también ofrecer una pequeña cantidad en cuanto a todos
Thank you. Thank you.
Salvation Army. Salvation Army. Entonces, yo espero que trabajen juntos y que podamos tener una relación con Salvation Army y de esa manera poder ayudar a todos. Las necesidades de nuestra comunidad. Apruebo. Gracias. What do we do to help support these eligible people in terms of housing, rehabilitation projects? No quiero ver que todos estos movimientos sean obstaculizados por la burocracia. Yo quisiera que todos estos procesos puedan salir adelante y que podamos decir que están dentro de ciertos parámetros o ciertos criterios opuestos a lo que podemos hacer completamente diferente. Entonces... So there is more potential for other products. So I just want to make sure that we are fully supporting and that we can really reinforce these projects. We are working. There is this society, this possibility. Yes, we can talk to the planning division. you know, we work side by side when these housing developers, when we do the SBE, or we do the state loan, or we pay the state budget, then there could be some density bonus or exceptions. So typically, at the state level is not required. So it's possible that there could be additional funds provided by the city with training and developing those processes. Because the city might not do it voluntarily. So I'm addressing the council members. If there's anything else, I can make a difference. Yes, it was just that. So, they are two subsidies that really support financially, but if they needed certain criteria, based on some parameters that we could prepare, that we could analyze, that we could extend or delay, I don't want these programs to be hindered by bureaucracy, right? Thank you. apoyo el pedimento gracias entonces tenemos concejal interina Knauss solamente quería hablar sobre los baños teníamos ya fondos para el acceso y para la reparación de los baños creo que tenemos que a reglamentar las adjudicaciones adicionales, asegurarnos que son mantenidos correctamente y también los códigos que se pueden acceder y también de los servicios públicos. Entonces, de esa manera podemos mejorar para ayudarnos. Estamos gastando más de un millón de dólares. Que nos sigamos viniendo, que nos sigamos viniendo para continuamente Thank you Mayor Pro Tem. Thank you Mayor Pro Tem. Thank you Mayor Pro Tem. Thank you Mayor Pro Tem. Thank you Mayor Pro Tem. Thank you Mayor Pro Tem. pagable, es un proyecto de FAIR que no se especificó. Entonces hay una variedad de actividades elegibles y nuevamente tenemos que abrir más específicamente para esos fondos. Nadie fuera acerca de lo que se hicieron con los fondos de CDBG y también la actividad que hemos identificado. is the development project of houses that can be financially accessed. And we also have housing projects, multi-family housing projects, administration projects, as well as housing projects that can be paid and bought for low-income homes. It's a longer process. We work with the builders. We can't commit to the project until we have all the resources and the funds. So in this way, we can ask the builders to explain to us all the resources they need. We work together. And also aspects in terms of plans and also En cuanto a tener el lugar listo para comenzar a trabajar y tener todos los recursos financieros y otras fuentes de finanzas para poder ayudar a los constructores a empezar, cuando estamos seguros que ya todo está listo, podemos proceder a un compromiso sólido. En este momento hemos identificado en cuanto a nuestras intenciones y también no tenemos uno específico que esté listo. So in the meantime, then we have the projects for people who can have new homes. We're talking about the Home project. Yes, that project has still been... fortalecido con los fondos estos 20 de otro años 20 26 20 27 entonces no tenemos para los proyectos de los fondos para rehabilitar casandra the city is going to actually seek a NOFA. So in that way, we're going to be able to cover certain batches. We have a small amount of funds for these houses, but we also have time problems. So if we have a certain amount, for example, ABC, of what comes back to us, and from that point on, we can move forward for a transparent platform in that way. This was specifically for a multi-house project. It's a lot of money for a single project if we don't have identified projects. In this moment, I just wanted to make sure, because Cassandra, I asked you, for example, those of the third age need help with the pipe or the roofs, and when they apply for those services, they tell you that there are no funds. I just want to make sure that there is money for our homeowners who have enough funds to repair their homes. Thank you. ¿Algún otro comentario de los concejales? ¿Entonces tenemos pedimento? ¿Sanchez? Sí. ¿Voto sí? ¿Ibarra sí? ¿Figueroa sí? ¿Sheret sí? ¿Protemcana sí? ¿Flores sí? ¿Ortiz sí? Pasa en forma unánime el pedimento. Gracias. Gracias, concejales.
We'll move on to item number three.
La Audiencia Quasi Judicial, Apelación 226-09, Subdivisión 26-03, Parcela 21096, Mapa de Parcelas Provisorio, Permiso de Uso Condicional 25-02, McDonald's, Distrito Electoral 2, se recomienda adoptar la resolución número 2026-068 de la alcaldesa.

Entonces tenemos la audiencia cuasi judicial, apelación 26-09, subdivisión 2603, mapa número 21096, mapa de parcela provisorio, permiso de uso condicional 25-02, McDonald's. If any member of the council had any communication outside of this public hearing with staff, please share it at this very moment. Ibarra. Ortiz. I did receive emails from the permit requesters and the shareholders. I didn't speak to them at all. I did receive emails as well, and I did meet with them to listen to what they were saying, and I wanted to make this public. Y yo también sí recibí numerosos correos electrónicos de los dueños y no respondí ni me reuní con ellos. ¿Algún otro comentario, Flores? Sí. Yo recibí numerosos correos electrónicos del solicitante del permiso y me reuní con ellos solamente para escuchar. Thank you, thank you, counsel. Thank you, Mr. State Attorney. So we have a presentation, you have three minutes to speak, 20 minutes to speak. Good evening, I'm Christian Carlson, I'm the planning associate for the planning division. I'm going to present the appeal 2609. la propuesta de este proyecto o el proyecto propuesto mejor dicho es aprobar la apelación 2609 y de esa manera to change the denial of April 14, 2026, of the Planning Commission of Subdivision 2603, according to Parcel 21-096 Provisional, and the Conditional Use Permit for McDonald's. In the 116 West Baseline, Baseline Oeste y la Sierra Way Norte, son 74 acres. En los meses recientes ocurrieron varias acciones. El 10 de marzo de 2026, el proyecto continuó by the planning commission. On March 23, 2026, there was a request for appeal 2609 presented, eradicated. On April 14, 2026, the planning commission adopted resolution number 2026-009-PC, denying the requirement. It is repeated that the applicant En marzo 23 solicitó un período de 15 días para la apelación. in cuanto a la negación de abril 14. Tenemos un mapa aéreo para la apelación 26-09. Esta es una imagen de satélite y como se mencionó, el área del proyecto está en la baseline oeste, en la esquina, son casas residenciales al norte y usos comerciales a lo largo de baseline. To give you an idea of the map of the zones, the location is within the commercial zone in red and also the other district, which is blue. The transit district. What is a transit district? This objective is to allow appropriate use of land E también de usos de tránsito, creando nuevas oportunidades para el crecimiento económico y también para el redesarrollo, reduciendo la dependencia en la calidad de of the amount of cars, improve air quality and promote high quality interactive neighborhoods with drive-thru restaurants that generally are using prohibited land within the transit district. However, exceptions will be allowed that will give the city greater economic measures. The history of this property was occupied by Dollar Tree and Chex Cash in 2019 and has been vacant since 2019. How many photos were taken during the recent visit? Approximately three months ago, when we went to the planning commission, our entrance on the eastern side of the property is explicitly open, and it's clear that the next side, the eastern side of the property, I noticed that it was not closed. But there's a reason why it's not closed. Why is it not closed? The reason for which the site has been well maintained was because there were many causes that started in December of 2029 of police codes that watched the place and there was presented vandalism that had occurred. It was reported that the building could also contain asbestos and the building was vandalized on December 24. More recently, in January 23 this year, it was reported that a smaller building was not safe, it was open. que indigentes estaban viviendo adentro y bajo la reinspección se vio graffiti y destrucción. This case is currently pending, according to what was decided tonight. The owner of the property says that the challenges of containing this place have been difficult because of the vandalism and the indigents, and it has also been difficult to find the builder to redevelop this place. This picture was taken a couple of hours ago. A couple of officers told me to visit the site to see what the condition is right now. You can see that it's met with overpopulation. And on the other side, there's also a case of vandalism on site. pastos y arbustos no atendidos vamos al plan del sitio el proyecto propuesto es la consolidación de seis parcelas dentro de una parcela aproximadamente 74 actas con el uso del permiso and also the provision of parking, and also the construction of 3,684 square feet for a commercial building. And it will also provide the installation of two streets where you can enter with the car, with access roads, to support the circulation of the site and also the operational efficiency. that comply with the vehicle regulation and also provides an emergency plan for any vehicle and vehicles so that the traffic is fluid. We also have a plan for the proposed project of how they are going to operate. There will be a full-service restaurant to enter with the car and eat and dine. También teníamos el análisis de que la ciudad de San Bernardino actualmente tiene ocho McDonald's, sirviendo aproximadamente 225,439 residentes. En la ciudad de Riverside actualmente hay 13 McDonald's sirviendo 323,760 residentes. We have the place in the East Highland at 365. And also, approximately, there are 13,827 McDonald's in the United States serving approximately 333 million residents. This is grossly a McDonald's for every 28,179 residents. The city of Riverside has 13 places, 24,900 residents attending. I repeat, there are 13,827 McDonald's that serve a population of 1,333 million residents, an average of 24 residents, 24,904 residents in the city of Riverside, and one per 24,107 residents in the whole country. In addition, this McDonald's proposal would bring money to San Bernardino, and in that way it could be beneficial. Another problem is the perception that restaurant would pay little to the workers. The team worker would pay $20 to $23 per hour. Supervisor de turnos, 22 a 24 dólares por hora. El gerente general asistente, 39 a 47 dólares por hora. El gerente general de 47 a 56 dólares por hora. La Ciudad de San Marino sigue y cumple con los sueldos mínimos de 16.90 por hora. Se le pagan vacaciones y también educación, oportunidades de entrenamiento, 401k plan. Además de estas mejoras del lugar, también va a haber mejoras en el lugar y fuera del lugar, reconstruyendo las veredas existentes para cumplir con Caltrans. Todo esto se puede ver resaltado en el plan del lugar. The project will also improve and beautify the garden, so that it is aesthetically beautiful. So we have 890 square feet. So this would be 6%. As part of the staff analysis, As far as the analysis of personnel, these photos were taken by people in June, this week of June 2026, to see how the place looks. The owner's concern is as far as the individuals and the indigents who mistreat the building or enter. This rendering illustrates the project with how it would look with lighting and how it would look with lenses on. The picture of with lighting would significantly
the area will be a very purposeful environment that supports walkability,
This is the front of the restaurant. This is the view of the drive-thru. And this is the corner of the North-East restaurant. Without being said, staff provides a resolution for it. It's adopted resolution number 26-008, 26-09, thereby upholding the Planning Commission's appeal on 26-09 and C-103 and C-104. la negación de la subdivisión 2603 que es la parcela provisoria mapa 21096 y el permiso de uso condicional 25-02 y no permitir el requerimiento a consolidar las seis parcelas a una parcela para facilitar el desarrollo establecimiento de operación de 3684 pies en el restaurant mcdonald's drive-thru esto termina mi presentación estoy listo para alguna pregunta gracias Any questions for the staff? I see that Councilor Ortiz has a question. So I have a quick question. Who is currently the owner of the property? She lives in another state but has been the owner for a long time and she has been working with the police division for all these problems but she has really been the owner for a long time and she wants to sell. She does want to sell it, but as I understand it, she has problems selling the property. And that's another of the reasons why she really wanted this improvement, because McDonald's is allowing these improvements and there will be no concern regarding the budget. She is interested in selling to build houses. Ella está interesada vender. Por los pasados seis años, no ha habido ningún constructor que ha querido comprar este lugar, por eso ha estado vacante. No más preguntas. ¿Alguna otra pregunta de los concejales? Muy bien. En este momento, tenemos que el apelante provea el testimonio y las pruebas. Entonces, concejales, no le hagan ninguna pregunta, no interrumpan hasta que el testimonio y las evidencias hayan sido fundamentadas y presentadas. Good evening, I'm C. John Muniz, I'm the Vice President of the Associated Program and also Government Relations and the Strategic Land Use Council. For them, we have worked with McDonald's for a decade. In 2024, I approached community development with this question. la ciudad de san bernard estaría interesada en revitalizar el sitio con un restaurante flamante después de muchísimas horas de colaboración entonces dos años después aquí estamos sumariamente dos años después entonces la comisión de planeamiento y el subtexto de la negación is that this site must be retained for residential development. We have the point 74, the site of Acres with six plots that must be consolidated. They are not accessible for nearby parking and the owner who lives outside the state has also desperately sought a buyer. In the last seven years, there has only been one viable application So this is the McDonald's project that has been presented today. The property owner's rights in this equation are critical. You have to think, the owner wants to sell and wants to deliver to someone who is interested in creating jobs and in economic development. I would also like to say no to something that is really tangible and real. So it's really something amorphous. I would suggest that, from the perspective of root goods, you have to understand that this development is interesting with McDonald's. We are seeing pragmatic policies versus pure probability. The status of the state is extremely horrible and with graffiti and garbage, there is no lighting. And the most important thing is a badly used corner in a very important artery. This is a great opportunity. I have been in the use of land for decades and there is no one who would like to invest in a development of several floors in an acre or more of an acre or less of an acre without parking. He was mentioned Se había mencionado en las ventas sancionales de 4 millones de dólares por año. Entonces la estructura también es de 60 a 75 trabajos de ingresos mínimos con vacaciones y muchos beneficios. De 10 a 15 de estos trabajos is going to be used by ArchWaves, which started in 2015 and is something that has served more than 90,000 employees at McDonald's and has also supported education with millions of dollars from university and pre-university students. This is a great opportunity for these young people to be in the future general managers or franchise owners. The reinvestment in this corner is significant. I was next to a plot with many years of garbage, of refugees using it. It was another restaurant, it wasn't McDonald's. And this restaurant evaluated our property, the values of the people who lived nearby. and also the general psychological sensation that it was full of garbage to live next to that. It was horrible. We know that the local community is critical here. 90% of the people who work at McDonald's will come from 3 to 5 miles around. Approximately 75% will take... when it comes to really seeing the benefits, the number one factor for you to find is over drug use. for drug addicts, indigents, and crime is responsible and active development with a reliable partner. It's not better than having a McDonald's at a multinational level. We have had cities that have told us that they implored us to work 24 hours a day, because this means that the police do not have to worry about this, because they have managers outside, personnel, rotations, supervision, cleaning the place, taking care of the place. And also the McDonald's way of working is 24 hours of operation. So having the restaurant open 24 hours, even if it closes 10 to 11 at night, other restaurants. So the drive-through, the local demand will determine that. If the franchise sees that from 2 to 5 nothing happens, then they're going to close at that time. but they have required a 24-hour use permit, of course. Without the privilege of working with their staff, we have had countless hours of guidance with them. We take their recommendations, which are really important to us. So also the community development, public works, we have had consistent agreements regarding the project that can be implemented in this place, in terms of this place that continues as it is, it's going to continue in a really horrible way, destroyed. waste, indigents, a building totally without lighting and security. It's horrible, this corner of all the people who pass by or work. So this site is really zero for you in terms of profit. I say this with a tremendous amount of experience in the use of land. the use of the city of San Bernardino and all the conversations and all the meetings that we've had with members of the community and with all the conversations with the staff. I'm here to answer any questions regarding the process of this Thank you all for giving me the opportunity to speak. And thank you, thank you for the support of the staff. Thank you. Do you have any, any questions? Hello, thank you very much. You just mentioned that my calls,
It's that we have all that area for ourselves and that there are no other restaurants, other businesses that the owner or the owner has made in the comments. We are here representing McDonald's and we know that there is no other opportunity that has been provided to the owner and also that this has been verified by the team. So you were consulting in general, not only for McDonald's, but you are representing McDonald's itself. Yes, we do consults for different projects, but at this point, here we are representing McDonald's in the last 10 years. You have visited the area here many times. Yes, and this seems to be in the vicinity. Yes, we have been walking around this place. Okay, that was my only question that they had at this moment. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor of Interina. Solamente una clarificación. Ustedes han tocado puertas en el área. ¿Cuál es la retroalimentación que ustedes han recibido? Dejamos diferentes publicidad, tenemos diferentes tiempos durante el día. is typically what we have we have different types of advertising uh practically in these weeks in what you have heard the things that we have to answer opportunities to have these conversations with anyone to be able to support the project we also have online follow-up on instagram in the following locations and also I'm the most accessible person on planet Earth, and Nadine has contacted me about this, but we've made different efforts to be able to contact people at different times. Can you tell us a little bit more about what these efforts consist of? For example, how much publicity have you given? How many doors have you knocked? Around 10? um is We have done this project or public process and the team has tried to manage this. We have tried to leave a little bit more of this time where they really don't need to do this with this jurisdiction, but within the point of Ms. Ibarra, this immediate contact of this is important from our point of extension. Thank you. any other comments for the council without seeing any others? Thank you. At this time, I invite members of the public to comment. Please indicate if you have any support. You have three minutes to address the council.
Ruben Mendoza. Yvette Roman. Juan Hernandez. Bernard De La Garza. Devoris Armstead. Marcia Aguayo. Jose Jimenez. Alicia Aguayo. Robert Carrillo. Thank you.
Please state your team name and address. Thank you. My name is Andy Fuentes. I'm from District 7. I'm here to oppose this appeal and to oppose McDonald's. I believe that people in San Bernardino they're doing well enough with the 8 McDonald's we have. We don't have any fast food cuts, which is what you see here. lavaderos de carros restaurantes de comida rápida siempre es lo mismo sin embargo estamos pidiendo los residentes negocios que vendan brinden más oportunidades a la comunidad quiero que las personas invierten san maradino quiero que el desarrollo económico y más oportunidades pero no otros restaurantes de comida rápido que ya tenemos realmente alrededor de la ciudad
And let's be honest.
is um de acuerdo con el distrito 5. Sí, esto va a proveer trabajos, pero son de bajo costo. San Bernardino no debería poner la barra tan baja que simplemente debemos celebrar todos los restaurantes de comida rápida que vengan aquí. Queremos simplemente otras posiciones de negocios o... on behalf of Senator Luis Gomez Reyes, Compartes de Luis Gomez Reyes. Quiero expresar nuestro apoyo para los residentes, propietarios y defensores de la comunidad que hacen que se escucha su voz en esta propuesta. La comunidad de planeamiento está considerado y han concluido de que esto no es bueno para los corredores de Sierra Way y Baseline. Esto es simplemente más que un desarrollo, una propuesta de desarrollo, sino también todo el futuro que el San Bernardino quiere construir. including housing affordability, public health disparities, public congestion, and empowerment of workers. As we look at the issue of private property investments that create opportunities, support businesses, and vision for the community, we must respect the public process. We must respect the public process. We must respect the public process. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My name is David Friedman, and I've checked every resident in this seven-minute drive from McDonald's. We have a minimum amount in the city, and a decision to develop a parcel of K-8, and this parcel is going to be developed, or it's going to be against the development of the city within this location. Hamos dicho lo mismo, nuevo desarrollo de viviendas, casas. Mi punto aquí es que la decisión para aprobar este McDonald's no es una decisión temporal. This is going to be a permanent recession, and you can't just basically make a general decision to continue all the bad health restaurants in the city. You're trying to support more pollution in the city. Please don't approve this. Good evening. what is I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. in the government. This is really for the substitute effect. Families choose McDonald's because they don't want to go to Jack in the Box or local stores as jobs. This really diminishes the costs. Our business unit has more than 88 chains of fast food and different malls. We have 7,000 This is not a promotion of these. Something else that has been proposed for this place and some of these commissioners is the absence of alternative salt, which has been sufficient. This reasoning is very bad because the production is that nothing else is better. Reflecting on what we're discussing, these effective programs of 3.1 that we can have this in a specific way to reduce this dependency in the sense that we can have this point of 2014 and have this facility consistent with these goals. It's really the use of land that really . . . . . Thank you very much. I am a mother and a house owner in District 1 and I believe that the rest is not within the goals that we can have in the district or within the specific plan 10 years ago that Fred was part of this. I hope that you can simply separate with the community to be able to express all these concerns in this plan. And yes, the property is vacant, but we deserve a better development in the area. There is a pizza house that has a lot of problems with theft and vandalism. And the Walgreens in some blocks beyond also closed it. What survives here are small businesses, the best sushi restaurant, Miyagi, for example, and other different small businesses. So I ask the council to support the council's recommendations and I ask you to please ask or ask the development team to have a better business so that we don't just have a concentration. Sorry. Solamente voy a parar ahí. Gracias. Adiós. Buenas tardes, alcaldesa, consejo. Mi nombre es Ivando Barrero. Soy residente del primer distrito. Esta noche quiero hablar sobre la perspectiva de salud pública. Esto no empieza en el doctor, sino en nuestro vecindario. No estoy hablando en contra de este proyecto, sino realmente porque estoy en contra del desarrollo. Creo en el desarrollo y las inversiones para la comunidad. Y no creo simplemente en quedarnos aquí. Lo que realmente va a ser este McDonald's, is to improve the quality of life in San Bernardino. Tonight, I'm referring to all of these people in 2025 for obesity, where this really impacts San Bernardino much more. Around 55% of young people are 10 to 12 years old who are obese. The community already has access to more than three times as many fast food places. What is this message sending to the community of Abril and Dr. McDonald's, in the decisions that we are making. Really, when we see this presentation and the appeal of the applicant, it shows that improving or installing another McDonald's will have better access to trying to reach more obesity in the community, to have this public health. um the access to this restaurant will be open 24-7, but that's not really true. And that doesn't mean that it's safe to be able to walk. It doesn't mean that a place is open 24-7, but that it also has access to other services without being able to simply trust the opening of a car. um is in the community really increases these chronic diseases. The future of San Bernardino has been quite ambitious, not just for the development with other fast food or window food. We process and other TOD to be able to improve the vision of our city. And when we see these cities of San Bernardino, it's always the same. I ask you, please, Hello, my name is Alicia Wayo. I'm a resident of the first district and I also work with the Institute of Work and my opposition to McDonald's to be able to deny this operation. This average point of $35,000 that it's not really that they can provide this for the future. And it seems that people who have worked in these hours or fast food jobs, you compete with hours. Is that really the reality? I've seen this city and I want to try to build a better city. And this starts with small options like this one. What are the families or children in this community saying that we can only offer them fast food? No necesitamos más cadenas de comida rápida y porque otro alternativa natural pueda venir aquí porque hacemos diferentes decisiones con esos ingresos medios y esto simplemente va a seguir en el círculo de pobreza. Esto es o equivale a la pobreza de la comunidad, no solamente de esta región, sino no priorizar la calidad de vida aquí porque es una parte importante de la calidad de vida. Next. Buenas tardes, alcaldesa y consejo. Mi nombre es Juan Fernandez, presidente y CEO de la Cámara de Hispanos aquí en San Bernardino. Quiero hacer mi comentario en español porque las personas necesitan escuchar a lo que está pasando aquí.
But I think it's very important that McDonald's is in this city. We've been working with business owners for two years and we know that only 15 flyers have passed.
We've seen more business owners who want to revitalize San Bernardino than just one or two hours of 15 flyers.
We need to have that mentality that you yourself in the General Plan say that we want to raise San Bernardino. When will it be time? Last year they gave us the proclamation of Hispanic Heritage and we said we are going to work completely together. My name is Juan Hernandez. I'm the president of the Latin Chamber in San Bernardino.
I'm here to oppose what they're doing here in the McDonald's.
So, y algo que él tomó, que dice que ha estado pasando por 15 clients alrededor, nosotros como cámara hemos trabajado dos años y hemos visitado más negocios y sabemos que quiere revitalizar San Bernardino, pero McDonald's no es la opción.
And what the McDonald's guy said that they turned out 15 fires, that's not true. I've been working here for several years for the Latino chamber. And with this, we're still for more than 15 fires. Garlic.
I think she's not translating it the correct way. But that's fine. So it's going to be a record. So what I'm saying, we are working on it. and 50 players not enough to really say that they care about the community. So San Bernardino has to revitalize, right? And we have to do something. Last year, we got the Proclamation of Hispanic Heritage, and we are here to really work with the community. I know we take too much of the time, but it's on the record what I thought. Thank you.
Yes, Contarador has her name. Good afternoon, council. My name is Amy Malone and I am a proud resident of the city of San Bernardino. I am here tonight to respectfully ask you to deny this decision of the committee. to be able to launch McDonald's in this place of Sierra Way and Baseline. This is bigger than just a fast food business. The question here is if San Bernardino is finally ready to simply to be okay with this type of business that the residents not only deserve. I'm here to defend the city because people need better economic opportunities that improve quality of life. They want a city that plans with intention, not just a city that accepts anything that's easy. The planning commission rejected this project twice for one reason. We are seeing different types of jobs, while these salaries are important. I'm going to ask McDonald's to guarantee these administration positions, to fill in for the residents of San Bernardino, simply to fill in for the people of San Bernardino to be able to have these quite high positions. um can return to the city that they call home. We already have a lot of options for fast food, but what we don't have enough are options for healthy food and developments that can contribute to the development of our residents. Families in this area deserve access to healthy food, better quality of life, simply adding another fast food. It's very far from being able to meet these needs, which is the development that we need to have a better, prosperous future. To create support for the community, to support these local businesses, to create more jobs, and to be able to contribute to the long-term vision of San Bernardino. This is not only to honor the community, but also to move i believe is Creo que hay una decisión de vivienda y es por eso que McDonald's, dentro de esta oposición, nunca he visto a McDonald's, 17 personas en una hora de trabajo, nunca, o un turno de trabajo. Entonces, las únicas personas que tenemos no es suficiente. Simplemente agregar otra cadena de comida rápida, más autos. Trabajos de tiempo medio sin beneficios. Entonces, ¿qué realmente nos brinda la comunidad? ¿Qué estamos tratando de brindar a la comunidad? No hay desarrollo nutricional con otro tipo, cadena de comida rápida. Nosotros necesitamos, necesitamos restaurantes que provean más opciones saludables, no simplemente de comida rápida. No necesitamos eso más. Una última pregunta que tengo. I am not against McDonald's. I would be hypocritical. I'm going to be hypocritical if I tell you that you haven't seen me here regularly on 40th Street, but what I'm against here is the responsible planning. I would like to see this in this development where we have this general plan that is in January, February of 2027, and simply try to respond to a specific plan where there will be other
restaurants in these retail areas, especially in District 1, 2. I want to focus not only on the center, but also on the Aladin 2 neighborhoods, where I know the city quite well. So it needs to be something that's focused not only on the long-term vision of the residents, but also the feedback. It's so important to have feedback from the community about what they want to see in this place. And I think that this specific plan al lado de el equipo de la ciudad que realmente dirección en que es lo que es el desarrollo en vecindarios específicos porque cada vecindario debe tener su propio sabor dentro de la retención de cada uno de los habitantes no entonces me gustaría ver el consejo que hablen un poco más hacia el futuro I've seen that they've started doing that a little bit, which is really good, but I hope that, please, they can deny this appeal. Speaker, please say your name. You have three minutes. Hello, Mayor, Council, good afternoon. Good afternoon, community. We don't need more unhealthy food. I ask you, please, to deny this appeal, to listen to people. We already have enough McDonald's in the neighborhood. What we need is more culinary gems like Miyagi's, Dolores. We also have a really good fish fry on the baseline as well. We also have a place, Alfredo's, for example, where they fry different things. And then we also have another corridor where we need to start thinking deeper about the corridors and how we can change that identity. So being a place that has to be a place that has to be a cultural corridor of women of arts, of housing, that's affordable housing, where we have properties that are more standard. So let's think about that. So we started thinking about this and also within the cost of a fast food that you can really go to a local place and it really costs us the same. So we can go to Lourdes and other places and you will be spending the same. Not only are you spending the same but you have a healthier food. and knows much better. Really the problem that we have decided before is because we are simply trying to see these spaces of strategies that we can try to these places that paint these walls, people start to label them because maybe these people just so you're aware. And if you see how successful your campaign has been around the city, you see how successful your campaign has been around the city, you see how successful your campaign has been around También este proyecto que se construyó al frente de la calle, que han podido trabajar con diferentes necesidades para poder ser exitosos y salir de este círculo de pobreza, porque estamos continuando en invertir en estos negocios que, como mi amigo, amiga Alicia mencionó, que siguen, que simplemente nos mantienen en la estructura de pobreza en la comunidad de San Bernardino. And then we think about long-term development. As we have already mentioned before, we want to be known for more fast food locations or a culinary district that has a very unique character, that offers experiences where McDonald's fails to provide that to the community. So thank you for listening to me and I hope you can try to listen to what the planning commission has already made a decision. Thank you. Next speaker, please say your name. You have three minutes. Buenas tardes, Consejo. Mi nombre es Mirene Nieto y soy residente del Distrito 7. Y sí, estoy aquí simplemente para apoyar a lo que la comunidad dice, porque como dicen, la comunidad, estoy bastante orgullosa de la ciudad, de la comunidad, porque eso realmente hemos llegado a hacer muchas cosas donde nos decimos que merecemos mucho mejor. Y el desarrollo debe ser mucho mejor no solamente de McDonald's, porque una persona fuera del estado donde es dueño de la tierra pueda encontrar um I think that the University of San Bernardino We need more restaurants, but as Michael mentioned, we are a family of four now, and it is really quite expensive, but we are also quite busy. So we go to restaurants for moms and dads to buy these instead of buying at McDonald's, because McDonald's is a little bit more expensive than McDonald's. McDonald's is more expensive than Taco Shop, than this restaurant that fries fish in Baseline. If you give the community the opportunity to explore society, to better understand the city, they will find much more options. we're here now so Now that we're here, we're not going to be able to kick them out. It's just really listening to the community, listening to their commissioners. They've already spoken. Please, give some advice. Do something good. I think you've already had some good conversations and you've tried to talk to each other to make better plans for the city. So keep doing a good job and don't do, and say no to this McDonald's, please. Thank you. Senator, please say your name. You have three minutes. buenas tardes consejo robert allí carrillo desarrollador emergente a quien saber adino tenemos diferentes comentarios pero yo creo que tenemos otros puntos donde hemos dicho yo creo que tenemos que responder So let me clarify something first. is one of them. these typical two years or titulation processes. Correct. Yes, it will take that normally, but the Law Project 1120 is a right where this goes to the different projects from six to seven months. This is intentionally done to be able to increase housing. Another falsehood is that this place is quite small for the next development. Ladies and gentlemen, in front of this place, we are talking about a place that is 1.32 acres, that's 17,000 square feet. mitad de este lugar aqui hemos hemos ido a este proyecto de ley 2011 48 unidades de residentes y fue 10 10 mil pies cuadrados y directamente al frente de este lugar he hecho las investigaciones alrededor de esta calle han utilizado este proyecto de leyes 2011 ustedes pueden realmente construir lugares comensales 125 unidades residenciales solamente estoy diciendo la otra cosa es que está con este alcance de la comunidad alrededor de 50 años soy casi más viejo que todos ustedes excepto del señor fresh usted dijo algo cuando los airbnbs estaban aquí los ingresos no son suficientes para la ciudad este cuatro o cinco millones bien Look at these five million dollars. Do you know what the income of this city is, of these taxes? One percent, 50,000 dollars. I'm going to give you a couple more examples, different plans. I'm going to give you 55,000 dollars. This is really the economic benefit of having a McDonald's. Please see, I'm not just talking, these are facts, because we have to come here again, another thing. Director, but in your appeal, you said wrongly that the place is so small. I have spoken to the owner. is um But the most significant evidence is that in the last seven years, there has not been any interest in this property from any other applicant, from anyone else. El dueño, sí, ya no vive en este estado. ¿Deberíamos simplemente mantenerlo? No. Ese es un problema de derechos de propiedad. Esto no es la propiedad de la ciudad. Estas iniciativas son interesantes y son bastante válidas, pero con respecto a la propiedad privada y poder hacer este desarrollo de propiedad privada es realmente... The development, the decision of the owner of this property, the viable market is interested in being able to make this fast food restaurant. McDonald's simply did not go down in this place, but it was sold. This is a owner who is actively creating a launch path for the COD. We are really at the corner of the COD. If someone enters this area, it simply has nothing to do with it at the moment. We know what the alternatives are based on the current evidence. There is a lot of passion in the room, but none of this has been translated into an opportunity developed for this owner. foreign is 10 years So, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, the information in front of you and be able to see the reach and be able to try to determine these strategies one-on-one for the city. McDonnell is a very important applicant, he is putting this point for his team, without variables, they are providing this landscape. or location of different options that we're seeing is an option. What we haven't mentioned in these conversations is the psychological effect of being able to walk in garbage and other points. That's the important point to be able to respond to this. I live around the city that has simply arrived with more garbage. I didn't like to walk around my neighborhood and now it's a fast food restaurant. As I said, it's not McDonald's. um um opportunity a nucleus where we can provide economic unitaries we know a lot of this where mcdonald's jumps and supports local businesses that have been found in the different valleys Thank you. Thank you. Now we are going to go back to the council at this time. Any last question? Councilor Ortiz followed by Mayor Yarina. Thank you, community and applicant. I have a question for the city, if possible. We know the value of this property. Unfortunately, we don't have that information here. Is it something that is public that we could know? Cinco millones que tenemos enfrente de nosotros este valor, pero podemos tratar de adivinar o acercarlos alrededor de las propiedades que están en baseline en este momento. Ok, vamos a decir medio millón de dólares. Yo creo que esto es importante porque voy a decir algunas cosas que tal vez no les va a gustar, pero tenemos que hablar seriamente con respecto al desarrollo de la ciudad para el aplicante. You're not wrong. But nothing you said was wrong. I don't think you said anything wrong. I don't think you said anything wrong. is important and is an important part of the conversation of capitalism here. And within that point, yes, if this were a viable option since 2019, then where are the other candidates? So as members of the community and as another point, we don't want that, but we don't have anything else. So the vision versus the reality. No podemos argumentar con esto. Les espero tener esa misma energía para poder pelear cuando tratamos de ver estas unidades en el distrito seis.
En lugar de permitir el desarrollo de viviendas. Por lo tanto. As we move forward, I think that's the community trade. We're in a very different position because it wasn't like this six years ago with the young people. ustedes ahora están aquí y nos están peleando por algo se están presentando y hay algo por lo cual el plan general no fue permitido hace 25 años porque no se aprobaron porque todas las personas dormidas estaban entonces ustedes ahora están participando de esta reunión o una reunión por sus creencias, apoyando sus creencias, han venido, pelean, ha cambiado. La juventud ha cambiado el público. And I thank them and I congratulate them. But by denying this, there could be another six-year loan. But that depends on the community. We have to accept the responsibility for fighting things that we want to happen. And just like when we get things, we have to invest in them, right? We're going to go to the other side. We're going to go to the other side. We're going to go to the other side. We're going to go to the other side. and that is the only room that needs to be invested. But these are all, or these proposals are failing because we need to keep considering, because I think that we're almost at the edge of establishing the leadership of councillors with the leadership and with the necessary mentality if we have the element of But we don't implement it. We have to implement housing. So we have the need for multi-use development. En cuanto a la ciudad, cuando hablamos de estas propiedades vacantes y porque la Comisión de Planificación lo está haciendo, el verdadero tema que tenemos es que hemos permitido edificios que estén vacantes durante años sin multarlos. without any fines. So this would be a relief in a bad economy, right? Having these empty buildings and fining them, having income, because they are owners, for example, who are not even in the same state, they come, they invest, they leave, they don't care, they sell, what do they care? We really have to analyze the evaluation if we don't approve this. A maintenance, an honorary maintenance for empty buildings that do absolutely nothing. So what attracts an empty building or a empty place? It attracts more drugs, more drug sales, more problems, more indigeneity, more garbage. We have to have the passion for the community. If you want this to continue, I'm not going to support it if you understand as a community. These are the choices we make for nothing. I prefer you to go to another restaurant with another menu and not this. I can't support this. I think you just literally read all of my bad sentiments. I agree with the ownership rights of the owner, but I also have to say we have a municipal manager who has come here to explain frequently. So with the experience in Rancho Cucamonga, we know that is the country of honey and milk, Rancho Cucamonga. Why has Rancho Cucamonga had so much success in its economic success? So something that he said, because we say no, we deny it. So because of San Bernardino, we continually fall into this problem, this vicious circle. We always say yes, there are no sales taxes. We have all these Starbucks, we have all these car washers. We have to start designing the community that we want to see for our future. And we have to start saying no to all these things that we don't want. We have all chosen to have responsibility and we have choices, we can choose. So we are still here. So we are still fighting for our communities, what are our needs and our families. So I sincerely appreciate what you have done, I appreciate the owner, but I agree with what you say, since this is a community and what we can differentiate is that we are the ones who do these things. We are in these seats here. We have to start creating the city that is conducive to the people who want to create houses in this corner. We really have to start having different opinions, different open minds. So we have to be honest with ourselves. I'm not going to say that this is going to change tomorrow. There is a great possibility that this place will remain empty for a long time, but the challenge is that we have to work. It will be a challenge when we have budgets with millionaire deficits, but we have to move forward with this new mentality, and I say no to this. Demand. Ibarra. Gracias miembros de la comunidad por venir. Entonces había otros que no vinieron, pero sus voces han sido escuchadas. Entonces yo quisiera proponer, yo sé que el solicitante aquí es McDonald's, y yo no sé si el solicitante puede considerar otras opciones. I'm here listening to everyone, so I'm thinking, why can't we have a Sprouts in that corner, for example? Let's have a Sprouts. So I have a McDonald's nearby, so I share that McDonald's, and it's automated. There's very few people, maybe five, five employees, nothing more. So... I don't know daily, but I only see five employees. They work part-time. I work in the fast food industry. They don't give us overtime. They don't give us extra hours. We are the people who don't have benefits. los que trabajamos en comidas rápidas. Yo sé que Ortiz, yo pregunté en cuanto al valor de la propiedad. Entonces una búsqueda era 166 baseline, es que se estima aproximadamente 1.365. in other areas are 1.5. I think we can improve for San Bernardino. If this property is going to remain empty for a little longer, it will remain empty a little longer. And we have to start working on our image. Instead of littering our city, continue alabando a nuestra ciudad y seguir tratando de utilizar el potencial de esta esquina. Tiene mucho potencial esta esquina. Entonces, yo me guío por lo que veo en mi vecindario y también la comunidad. Voto contra. Voto a favor de la negación de la comisión de planeamiento. I did present, and it was approved by the council, the vacant site ordinance, because you are saying no, if that's the final decision. So you can't penalize the person who continues to own properties vacias, pero tenemos un equipo de desarrollo económico. Es posible que nuestro equipo pueda consultar con la dueña y tratar de poder vender esta propiedad de una manera que sea conducente con lo que los habitantes quieran. Si podemos trabajar con el dueño de la propiedad, claro que sí. Y de esta manera, si ellos tratan de poner Y según su propuesta, si ustedes la aceptan o la niegan, nosotros nos atenemos a sus opiniones. Ortiz, por eso el HSS está, realmente han hecho un trabajo maravilloso, el personal municipal. And also, all of Las Vegas, all of the agentes de bienes raíces, all of them, to build the plan. So, as director of economic development, we have to do more. We have to evaluate all of the businesses in the baseline, the corridor, the street and baseline, sorry. So, what can we do? How are we going to do it? We're going to have results or we're going to sit in the chairs talking constantly. So I just want to say tonight that McDonald's, I think it's time to end McDonald's. The interim mayor is right. We have to be responsible for this vote. But as far as we need economic development, we have to study economic development and do it. And in that way, what would this be? What would be our specific plan for this? So what is the objective? Why can't we have these people for more than two years on vacation? This should have been something community-based. That's what's happening. That's what's happening. There's nothing wrong with what's being said, but who wants to do it? Invertir toda esta energía para comprar la propiedad, desarrollar la propiedad, mejorar la propiedad y utilizarla. ¿A quién podemos conseguir? Porque nosotros no estamos de acuerdo con las necesidades y los deseos de nuestra comunidad. Ha habido 25 años en cuanto al plan general, sin más de una relación, tan solo con la comunidad en cuanto a la comunidad de desarrollo. Entonces, realmente los felicito. Canaus says it has another point regarding the process, the change that could be implemented. So we have seen this a lot where the developer or the builder has reached the point of being in the commission or planning committee. So they've already had a lot of funds, a lot of complicated funds, planned to get to that point. They really have a lot of money. So in terms of trade, it's not what we want. something that the committee or the commission could think about in some ways in order not to get to this, in order not to have these conversations with those who want to buy and who have already invested, right? Or who have the planning to invest, not to get to this point, please. So to see how we can achieve what we want. When? What are we doing? So where was our relationship? How to respond? Why can't we walk and go see too? Is there a process, a policy that they can announce? In addition to the warning that there will be an audience, can they tell us something else? Because this person had already gone to investigate the place. Thank you, Maverick. In the previous comment on economic development, we really need a housing director, and with the housing director as a resident, obviously, I'm not speaking as an elected official. He sent us permission via e-mail, and that was really something that attracted me, because it is possible that we could not get to try it, but it showed interest in our community. So where did the development come from? I knew that before because I had been very diligent to send that communication. So I can send that email, but it would be good for us as representatives of the individuals. Not even we know. We are in the dark. They haven't given us anything. It only appears here on the agenda. I try my best to communicate y hacerme valer en las reuniones, pero necesito más información cuando ustedes vengan antes. solamente una pregunta técnica si no se aprueba el distrito electoral puede aprobar cuales son las los parámetros hay una obligación de dar una razón de cuáles serían las decisiones de esta this decision so yes of course we do and specifically if we have a subdivision then each of those has one for denial and you only need one me voy a enfocar en el COE. Ese es el que específicamente habla de los distritos de tránsito. Entonces tenemos el COPE. Entonces lo que se debe cumplir es que ambos utilizan a conditional permit that would not disturb integrity. So, in that way, it complies with all provisions and regulations of the Development Code. So, the one that supports this, the parameter that supports this, I would suggest adding things, if I say it correctly, if it seems a job interview. We can deny that the project has been denied and that the place of the project is located within the commercial CG1 and also the TUI area. And also in terms of the integrity and character of the general district, This McDonald's proposal is not consistent with the vision because the project does not meet the traffic criteria of this corner. Development should reduce dependence on vehicles and have more fluid traffic, not more vehicles. Entonces, de esa manera, apoyar el concepto de desarrollo. Una cosa que yo les sugeriría que agregaran es verlo al But there is an exception. The exception is that the project stimulates the activity of economic development, but there is no definition of what it is. the discretion to determine what that economic development means. So what we can do is unite the proposals of the development in transit and have a prayer that says that the project does not simulate the activity of economic development as defined as the district and their proposals. So the activity that the COD wants is an activity where you can walk, where pedestrians can walk. So I've heard comments, I would just add to that, y también agregaría una sección de la subdivisión de comercio en cuanto que afirmativamente declare que simplemente el COB ha sido negado. Ustedes tienen las decisiones y también hay una sección adicional que afirme esto, que fue afirmativamente negada. ¿Esto, Figueroa, le contesta a su pregunta? ¿Hay algún impedimento? No, no para usted. But I have other questions, yes, I'm just mentalizing everything that's being said. Thank you, advisor. Any other comments? I really want to work as an organic body. I see where we're going, but I also want this to happen in the future, because I want people to be active, to come, to show up. . . . That was the basis of the approval, yes, of the recommendation by the staff. So, Mr. Mayor, you heard the opinions of the councilors and the community in terms of wanting more projects that make sense for that area, conducive to that area? How can you see how to move forward with how to factor these in as factors? So I see that there are opinions of all and less also or at least also the opinion de la comunidad pero yo no quiero que los constructores se sientan amenazados por estas opiniones verdad entonces esta como como comunidad podemos asegurarnos de que tengamos algo que nos sirva como comunidad pero también considerar todos los factores como el constructor también ver balancear las necesidades de cada uno comunidad y constructor So I only need to understand the municipal manager. Technically, what you want is to have a person, the developer or the builder, want commercial activity. So leaving everything else aside, a restaurant or any type of activity. So the more you can invest, the more you can talk to us, trying to look for different topics, right? Objectives. So in that way, it would be more likely that it would affect and will affect development. So because they want certainty, the builders want zoning. It has a certain level of.
When they have to do this re-sonification, they have to make a calculated decision with respect to their economies. At this point, they had to see the CP, which is usually, they're going to think that this is probably something double, but in this case, the biggest problem is the best sonification of the TOD, specifically another component within this So that is something we'll have to think through because you're trying to improve this economic development. That's the question you have to ask yourselves. If you want this economic development, what are the biggest restrictions that you're putting in? And then you're going to have to go through certain processes.
And so then some people will do it, some won't.
So what I'm trying to do through this project is try to create a little more certainty. I wanted to add some clarification to your question because if I'm reading behind your question i think what you're asking is could the city have avoided the project if the urban republic was saying we don't want this project how would this project have been stopped and how would this project have been stopped and how would this project have been stopped and how would this project have been stopped so there's two things going on one is that A developer has the right to be heard. They have the right to be heard. So it's just a matter of who did this project, who was noticed as the public hearing, and who should be noticed as the public hearing. This will not prevent them from being heard before the planning commission. And then what happens here has to be an appeal to be able to come here. The way to get to what you're trying to do is to be able to submit this code. So one solution as part of this project would be a manager for engine development, probably the only exception for a restaurant and drive-thru.
So that there is no exception.
If that were the case, then staff can tell them at the counter, no, we're not ending this application because it's not allowed under the code. And that would have stopped. And that would have stopped. It just doesn't solve why we have so much work to do to ensure certainty, right? I don't know how you say it, we are open for business. to have this team to be able to take this and understand. At this point, we haven't done the voting, but that's what we're trying to do, to be able to get more attention. or to be able to take more attention. I just want to mention what we've said, the context of what we've said in these two and a half years, within this economic development, regarding the viability of this project. These conditions that allow them to use this land, where we can justify this project. What we've said in the past, we have different restaurants, that we are able to suggest approval or recommendation to the Planning Commission. And we have this approval of the planning commission. And this is really not you. I know you have recommended and you have done your job. You have done it very well. And we have this experience and development to be able to recommend what you thought was most appropriate for young people. And within the code, So this is really not the fault of our team in the city, but to determine is simply the code, but it is necessary for our cities to be able to have clarity and certainty, especially with the investments that are being made, because we are trying to be able to close this gap that maybe fuera esta codificación de la zonificación que tal vez la comunidad aún no lo quieran. No creo que un desarrollador quiera estar donde no lo quieran. Entonces realmente es lo que estamos tratando de responder y realmente no tengo las respuestas específicas. Yo creo que simplemente tiene que ser un poco más diálogo interno con el equipo. ¿Cómo podemos llegar a llegar a este proceso donde nuevamente simplemente estamos yendo de adelante atrás con esta misma información? This is our goal that we need. We are open for business. We want this. But at the same time, we want good businesses. We want smart developments where we don't want a city that is just car wash and fast food. It's the nature of San Bernardino. I see that all the meetings How do we start deciding the city that we all want? Thank you. Customer and Firefall, the customer team. the department of planning. There's a project that's not abiding by the current zoning per se, that they need additional permitting.
Maybe at that point, this is where staff can reach out to the community members in that area.
And we've tried to reach out to the community members in that area. And we've tried to reach out to the community members in that area. And we've tried to reach out to the community members in that area. And we've tried to reach out to the community members in that area. And we've tried to reach out to the community members in that area. And we've tried to reach out to the community members in that area. And we've tried to reach out to the community members in that area. And we've tried to reach out to the community members in that area. And we've tried to reach out to the community members in that area. And we've tried to reach out to the community members in that area. And we've tried to reach out to the community members in that area. And we've tried to reach out to the community members in that area. And we've tried to reach out to the community members in that area. And we've tried to reach out to the Because I'm really sorry that it has to go through this situation for two years of going and coming. But it should have been a clearer process when they applied for the first time. And it's something that maybe we have to improve with the development of the city. Because this is within my understanding. And from there, it goes from planning to planning. And from there, they go to planning and they go to planning. And then there's appeal, and then there's us. That's the process, as it should be. But with my suggestion, maybe in the future, if a project really needs an additional permit, this will go to the development of the community, that it has approval from the community before it comes to this point. Thank you. Councilor Ortiz. Yes, Mayor, thank you. I just want to make sure that we are clear, because I think that Councilor Figueroa is pointing out where we don't have a total a control a total control uh i think simply mcdonald's doesn't have a sales window model and when we reviewed this permit and then they had a termination there's nothing in which they haven't tried to reach this standard point within this particular project i think the specificity is that not everything we're trying to provide while we're fixing things
is a movement to be able to try to do something better and establish a way because what is really going to happen is going to happen Y lo que va a pasar es alineación donde no hay este punto legal donde son las expectativas de la comunidad. Quiero tratar de llegar a alcanzar mi moción para el lenguaje del fiscal de la Ciudad de Derecho. Yo puedo repetirlo si hay una moción y los apoyo, puedo leerlo antes de su voto. Siguiente. Hay una votación y un apoyo. Thank you. I'm looking at these parts of the district map. This really looks pretty impressive. How is this being designed? How did you come up with this? Or did you get it from somewhere else? That map was already created decades ago. So there are 13 TODs and the purpose of this is to be able to create interactions with transit and the stations where they have been able to spread within the city for any type of commercial use. So there is nothing in particular with respect to what is there, but specifically it is for the center within these more commercial uses. Y queremos ver esta mapa de designación donde esta propiedad cae or the TOD covers around the five parts of the project. So, is that really measured from the center point of the Baseline and East Street, or was it really measured by the traffic light? Unfortunately, at this moment, I don't have the answer to that. Thank you. Okay, thank you. Thank you. There's a motion and support. Yes, Councilor Sherrod. Yes, Councilor Sherrod. Yes, I just want to make a comment after the TOD for the 13th. Those are extensively developed. And that really... Thank you. We have to close the public hearing before taking this vote. let's close these public comments on 8 and 3 followed by the mayor if i can for clarity Estas resoluciones de poder encontrar estos puntos específicos, añadir esos pedidos para poder desarrollar los puntos económicos y los propósitos del DOD. Y segundo, poder agregar una resolución para 26-03 y el esta noche y 26-02 esta noche. ¿Consejal Sanchez? No. ¿Consejal Ibarra? Sí. Council Member Figueroa? No. Council Member Figueroa? No.
Council Member Charette?
No. Council Member Canaz? Yes. Council Member Flores? Yes.
Council Member Ortiz?
Yes. Motion passes 4-3 with Council Member Figueroa. Motion passes 4-3 with Council Member Sanchez.
Thank you.
I'm going to vote in opposition.
Mayor Shekhar, please read the motion to the record.
Seguimos al artículo 4 para los 6001 para poder el uso de cannabis comercial ubicado en 225 y Airport Drive para proveer el cambio de ubicación y transferencias. Abrimos los comentarios públicos a las 8 y 4. Please introduce yourself. Good evening, Mayor. Good evening, Mayor. Good evening, Mayor. Good evening, Mayor. Good evening, Mayor. Good evening, Mayor. Good evening, Mayor. Good evening, Mayor. Good evening, Mayor. Five minutes, please. Thank you.
Localizados 225 y el adjunto. Entonces estamos hablando del permiso comercial de cannabis. El permiso 26001 requerimiento para enmendar el CBP 22004 para la administración PTR localizado en 225 este airport drive para proveer un cambio en la ubicación y transferencia de Dueños, se recomienda que la alcaldesa y el consejo de San Bernardino, California, apruebe el permiso comercial de cannabis S.B. y también la propuesta de aplicación, el requerimiento del aplicante en cuanto a este permiso comercial. to approve the change of location and the transfer of owners. The change of location would be from 225 East Airport Drive to 1602 East Highland Avenue and the transfer of owners of the PTR administration. The current location of the operation is shown here inside a commercial park near Hospitality Airport Drive. And we also see the current location in Hospitality. The new site will be in the corner of the West Highland Avenida 1602. La designacion de sonamiento de el nuevo lugar es dentro de el comercio general y que se adapta al operativo de cannabis y también es comercial al este y al sur, al norte y al este, es industrial. Es importante saberlo porque típicamente dictan que los usos comerciales no pueden estar a 600 pies de una residencia. But section 510 to 250 says that the commercial cannabis operation cannot be at 600 feet from any residential plot. For this reason, there is no problem in terms of housing near the proposed site. También se debe contemplar que este lugar está cerca de dos iglesias diferentes. Y por la sección, por el artículo 2050, en cuanto a comercios de cannabis B3, la proximidad del negocio propuesto a instalaciones religiosas y bibliotecas en existente So the city is going to consider the proximity of the commercial cannabis trade proposed, its proximity to the church facilities. And also the existing place is an empty market, which according to our records has been empty since September of 2023. The commercial license was not renewed. It was vacant. So the evaluations are going to be, the proposals show new paintings, new posters. In this way we can see in the photo the southern part, this would be the east evaluation in this new photo. Y luego podemos ver también el norte y oeste de la locación propuesta. También pienso que el operador particular desea que el comercio, la tienda sea transferida They operate this business called Higher Round, and they have really done exactly what was asked. They have paid their taxes religiously. He is a good operator, and they have really done things right, and everything is going very well. Se recomienda que la alcaldesa y los concejales de la Ciudad de San Bernardino de California prueben este permiso comercial de cannabis comercial CCB 26-001, cambio de locación y transferencia de dueños de PTR Management LLC localizado en la 225 East Airport Drive. ¿Alguna pregunta? Sabemos que el solicitante, perdón, está aquí. Si hay alguna pregunta, muchas gracias. ¿Tienen algún requerimiento del público? Sí. Tenemos tres requerimientos de Trevor T., David, Dolores Armstead. Acerquense al podio en este momento, por favor. Declaren nombre y apellido y comiencen a declarar. This is an emphatic no. We don't need another marijuana trade on the west side. So we don't care who owns that place. We don't need another place to sell marijuana. We are already saturated. The location is close to hospitals, a hospital, restaurants, houses for elderly people, churches. We don't need the marijuana store there. Look at your memo. The churches don't want it. The hospitals don't need it. And the elderly don't need another cannabis store in the western part of the country. Enough of the shit they're throwing at us. We want to uplift the western side. We can do things better. We don't care who owns the place. We don't like the place. We don't need it in the western part of the country. We need nice shops, small businesses, not this type of business. We need something that helps us. nos embellezca y favorezca nuestro. Buenas noches, alcaldesa y concejales. Esto realmente es un reflejo de la reunión que tuvimos antes en cuanto a una hora y media que hablamos acerca de qué es lo mejor para la comunidad. Para mí es cada vez más obvio, especialmente para algunos de ustedes, que esto nunca is what you have in mind, really. You don't think about this. We voted not to bring the McDonald's. You voted to bring warehouses, warehouses, a lot of things. So what have you brought to the city? This portion that the community wanted. What did they bring? What could they have used? in their daily lives, because you know that West Side, the North, has not one Starbucks. Now, one in the country, Dutch, where you can go in, sit down, and buy yourself a little coffee, and have something to eat. Not one Dutch Brothers, not a franchise, not a franchise of McDonald's. What seems to be the problem? Why do we have a problem? This is not racism. We are not really no estamos aceptando esta mentira. Es una mentira absolutamente y no hay nada en la orden del día, concejal Flores. Hace un año y medio que pudiera traer algo maravilloso para el distrito electoral 6. Y aquí estamos, el primer artículo y es un dispensario de cannabis cerca o en el medio de vecindarios, casas, iglesias, albergues, o mejor dicho, hospitals for the elderly. This is all the propaganda. You only do propaganda so that we believe that you want the best for the city. And if you really do it, then this would be important for all the other districts. There is no new development. to come to the sixth district, it's doing absolutely nothing. It's just bringing more marijuana. That's where we are. So, other than McDonald's, that's what you bring, McDonald's and marijuana sales. It's not necessary that people are sitting here all night so that you understand that you understand, so that you understand. Al Palazzo, that is one block from where I live. I'm going to cry. from Rancho Cucamonga to make this a better city. My family made me to stay in Rancho. My children in Rancho. Just next to it is historical properties.
The Bud was an institution.
And now we have a nice restaurant there. and a church. Y también ese edificio en Mount Vernon, al lado de fiestas, era en los 50, era Quintis, era un restaurante precioso donde la gente podía comer. ¿Cómo vamos a traer Mount Vernon al presente? Miren a Rancho Cucamonga al lado, vecinos. No tenían derecho a hacerlo porque yo era un niñito, mi cuñado nació en el valle, un rancho, y con mi hermana. Nadie iba a rancho. Nadie iba. Había viñedos. No pueden entender lo que está pasando. Esto es lo que la gente le está diciendo. Y ahora esta porquería quieren ustedes traer al lado de un complejo para ancianos de la tercera edad a una cuadra del hospital comunitario. Doctor Brown me salvó la vida en ese hospital. Yo me enfermé de neumonía a los 16 años. When my mother took me to see him at the Waterman, he went to the community and said, if he hadn't come, in two days he would have died. That neighborhood has so much potential, so many vacant plots that we could consistently have parks. Where is the nearest park? Shutter Park? Yes. So I'm writing a document for Mount Vernon. Thank you, Mayor, for getting the document. Then I'll talk about that when you give me three minutes. Don't you understand? Don't you understand the problem? It's about telling the people of San Bernardino, you deserve better things, better things, and you represent us. And you're going to say, hey, like when I went to the Trick or Treat on Halloween, go back to the west side. To the west side, sorry, to the west side is where you belong to what you belong to 65 years ago. God, please. Hola, señor Smith, soy residente de San Bernardino y agradezco la oportunidad de poder hablar hoy. Entonces, la integración es importante. Nosotros vivimos mucho en la comunidad, entonces la estructural y también nuestras infraestructuras locales y nuestros corredores tienen sitios vacantes. We don't have to ask for government changes, but when the door is opened to these districts, and they haven't filled any benefit to the community, but massive damages, and you are responsible. to help our city in three ways. First, direct funds for schools and education, and also for the public schools system, and also to update technology, and also in this way to have programs for graduates, for children. Second, also a pantry could create stable jobs for low income residents. And also these crops and these miners who sell them can transform these empty places. And that's what is needed. Third, the funds can compensate all the operators to get the market out of the shadows. and also in this way, in a new decade, have more investment in robots and streets and also programs. We have a choice. We can develop or we can work here for our families and our schools. So in this way, we can work for San Bernardino. Just because it's a marihuana store doesn't mean it's bad. Colorado tienen dispensarios y no les va mal. Piensen, no tienen deudas, nos pueden salvar. No hay más presentaciones oradores en cuanto a este artículo de la oposición. Gracias. Cierro la audiencia pública a las 8.36 p.m. Veo al concejal Ortiz y a Flores. Gracias, alcaldesa. Bueno, yo siempre pensé que la ciudad con su sabiduría tendría que haber creado en una jurisdicción donde se pudiera permitir las tiendas de cannabis
Hay viviendas.
Creo que dijo que no había viviendas hoy.
Hay viviendas.
y residencias en el área, pero la manera que esta área está el sonamiento, que hay un corredor que aplica con las residencias cuando las casas tienen dueños. En este caso, en esta área es industrial y comercial, entonces no es particularmente sensible. Vamos a volver a esta instalación de almacenamiento, esta bodega. Entonces, de esa manera podemos votar en la audiencia que se pudiera de esa manera. Esto ocurre porque las viviendas se niegan a las personas, se les niegan viviendas. So there are excuses for not developing houses. So these can be the owners of these places, these facilities to sell cannabis, this commercial corridor in the western part, It's still very extensive, the whole commercial part. So everything that is available or empty, then again, like McDonald's, is only, I think, we have another opportunity, right? To really determine that we could build houses. It's not enough that cannabis really The only thing I hear is commercial. We're talking about Colorado.
This didn't happen here.
So I don't want this smell of cannabis everywhere. So we need houses. The 18 shops, shops, and also the amount of criminal activity and all these things, the previous mayor, the previous mayor,
Thank you. Thank you.
Flores Figueroa Ibar. Thank you, Mayor. I would like to help the members of the public because I had the opportunity to walk through that community area, to talk to the merchants, the neighbors, and everyone shared what happened here, the same public comments. Hay gente opuesta a los comercios. Entonces, según Ortiz, ha dicho que tenemos que mejorar en términos de asesoramiento. Entonces, nuevamente, en cuanto a que estos lugares están más cerca, porque estamos cerca de la biblioteca, de iglesias, hospital, establecimientos para ancianos, estamos en el proceso de que no hay algo
For them or something in which we can walk around the street and be patient. So having said that, I really share that these same agreements we can deny these businesses. I don't think this location is an adequate location for this business. Thank you, Councilor Figueroa, followed by Councilor Ibarra. I really hate to put you in this situation, if you have this information or not, but do you really have a disclosure of the CCPs and the applications with respect to how many have been reached in each district? no tengo realmente el número exacto en cada uno de los distritos pero sé que la concentración está en la menos de la mitad de la ciudad son 16 que son ya operacionales y dedicados específicamente a estos micro negocios y durante los últimos ccps que se han dado en seis años aproximadamente How many crimes of level one have been attributed to these locations? So, in general, of these updates that have been given to this council, it is a fairly low number of incidents that have occurred with these locations. So, just like these last ones, we have included information that there were around three or four incidents that have resulted, whether in robberies or So, it doesn't mean that any of these cannabis locations have a high number of crimes in the city. Do they still require 24 hours of security? Yes, that's right. And I think that I can give an example of three locations that currently have three of these locations. And there is another location on E Street or something close as well. There have been some incidents or problems in these locations, none of which we have knowledge of. There are no more questions. Thank you. Councilor Alibarra.
Yes, quickly.
I was here when we were approving the streets and I don't remember 1602 being these permits for cannabis. Part of this is the change of location, so the current license is 225 East Airport Drive, which has been currently listed as the cultural part. Y nunca se ha abierto, nunca ha sido operacional. Y no recuerdo haber aprobado este lugar en específico para cualquier tipo de cannabis. Entonces estoy tratando de recordar. Y esa realmente información ni siquiera está en la parte detrás de la información. Una propiedad que había rentado, pero no se dice en qué dirección. Entonces para mí tengo que regresar a ver mis notas antiguas para confirmar. Pero no recuerdo haber tenido una habitación aprobada en la avenida Highland. As part of the original part of district 7 that had been given in these licenses, these initial parts, Y estas licencias que estan disponibles cuando podamos incrementar estos numeros permitidos en la ciudad. Entonces estos son permisos que estan en la ciudad donde se han podido ver estos permisos de cannabis en las operaciones. Y luego no es algo que hemos aprobado aquí en el nivel de consejo correcto. Porque no recuerdo, realmente recuerdo muchos de los lugares que hemos aprobado. Pero yo sé que tenemos uno en el segundo distrito donde no se ha abierto. Pero no recuerdo haber aprobado eso en el distrito 6. No, 1602 no está aprobado. Lo que estoy diciendo es que esta es una reubicación del 10 25 en las operaciones de este proceso y dentro de esta reubicación del proceso es parte de esta acción. and the things that we have approved for the cannabis permits, not originally of what we know, but of what has to be done within the area, the designation, the guides, and this is the application approved based on the requirements, not by actions, but by the regulations. I know that we have restrictions as well. don't think almost as the space here and the agency as you can see this is a red or this is a little bit incident yeah yeah most number of the. Unica ubication kicker ever could care tipo de excursion. serían las iglesias y esto realmente se basa en de caso en caso bajo las ubicaciones y los negocios se ven 10 250 7 10 250 donde se ha propuesto estos negocios de cannabis para estas ubicaciones existencia en los tiempos del permiso que se ha dado pero las iglesias no están excluidas So, we can look at this location, and we can look at the proximity of this church right next door. I don't want to approve this, but it's not necessarily a firm, wild decision, but we can look at this location, and we can look at the proximity of this church right next door. For additional clarification, council did take action on and instead of 2019 within the code 1901 Updating this verbalization of the zoning, it is originally mentioned that this cannabis operation cannot be done within 600 feet within these residential uses of use or parcel. The amendment code changed this language to only require it to be the residential area and not the use. entonces en este caso porque las estos son las partes de residenciales o comerciales y no han excluido esta ubicación para la aprobación de el uso de cannabis tal vez mis colegas pueden confirmar eso es un parte del área correcto para el norte de la propiedad hay la parte sur y este pero nuevamente Eso es todo de mi parte. Thank you. Gracias. ¿Algún otro comentario? ¿Usted tiene otro comentario? Oh, no sé qué, algo frente a la calle, no importa. Este es el frente de la calle. Porque realmente yo entiendo lo de la iglesia, donde realmente no hay un requerimiento, pero lo pueden utilizar. Yo creo que es por eso que estamos aquí correcto, porque estamos determinando I don't know who you are, excuse me. I'm actually the owner and when it's appropriate, I'd like to speak. I think the question and the solution allows us to determine whether the 600 feet, but not just the residential area, Correct. Yes, that was a misunderstanding. Correct. Thank you. Any other comments? I have a few questions. This is different from the last articles we have, but this says transfer based on the criteria we've mentioned. and it's based on the sonification. So this is on the body to decide how that narrative is zoned. With that being, I mean, it's not a decision, it's more of an outcome. So when we have this application to know if it reaches the criteria of the guides that we have, Entonces, han llegado a este requerimiento de la zonificación donde hemos podido ver otros requerimientos de los aplicantes donde hemos visto esto dentro de las áreas alrededores dentro de estos pies y dentro de estos negocios de cannabis moviéndonos en una ubicación y lugar vacante donde We can renew the improvement of the tenants and try to contribute to these income sales. At this moment, there is no specific policy that we are looking at, but the factors for this and I don't think that I think we are all um a poder tratar de traer algunas partes del area, como por ejemplo, no tenemos Starbucks, no tenemos bancos, cualquier cosas que los otros distritos tienen sin como nosotros podemos del sexto distrito. Nuevamente, no tratando de ser enteramente because we need to believe that authority. But I think that the challenges of how you can have in mind to be able to move the city forward as we want, as a community. Because we have to remind ourselves, as we govern, it's for the people, for the people. And we've been chosen for these numbers of residents, and we have to respond to the public, to the community, and to the team that will help us reach these visions, representatives to the people. This evening is really a lot of work. So, again, I appreciate your feedback. I appreciate your feedback. me gustaría agregar antes de tomar un voto de esta moción con el consejo que sea esta aprobación para la transparencia de la propiedad en el port drive estoy de acuerdo y cuando estamos viendo esta audiencia publica si ustedes quieren escuchar y reaperturar la audiencia publica If we have these two actions, then we have to make sure. Councilor Ortiz, I think my question is, why is it not operable? Is it simply because you have to try to build something and a license that you are deciding when to use it? I just want to know why this has not really been applicable. Podemos hablar un poquito más, pero nuestra conversación es con el dueño actual basado en las ubicaciones donde no ha habido visibilidad para poder aperturar lo que pueda regresar a ser operacional. Gracias. Disculpe, alcaldesa, ¿podemos reaperturar la audiencia pública? Sí. Yes, please say your name. I'm Roy Organizia. I'm... And we, in the last four or five years, we've had these active complaints about licenses and retail operations in Redlands. And these three million dollars, which is actually a lot of money, and if we have to guess, it's the 20-30% of those 3 million dollars in red. We hope that the allocation is a key and there's a lot of saturation in this district 3. I don't think there's one complication. There's one complication. There's one complication. There's one complication. of these construction sites and when we acquire this for the city regulations and this is not adding a permit it is simply moving to another location that they are doing very well for the city so it is not saturated with what they are doing for this purpose so we are going to be raising the property So we went from one investment to one investment to reinvest in the city. We considered the city to be a good business, a good business and a good business for us. We're compliant for license. They've been involved for a long time. We're compliant, you know, we're just, you know, we're going to face the difference.
you know, living wage ordinance. And, you know, we'd just like you guys to reconsider this location. This airport location where it exists today
We are making zero income and here they are losing money around these three million dollars. We will have to contribute and also open a store that has been well founded around these 12 stores within which we respect the residence within this community. All the documents for the end of the day is not just the the cuckoo practically, but to protect 2016, 2017 in this ordinance to be able to have a resistant operation. And we have other stories or other applications where we can make a safe place and be able to have where these associations of the city, where we have have this in mind. Thank you. Is there any other additional comment for the councilor, the councilor Ibarra? I have heard a contradiction. I don't know if you have taken this into account, but you have mentioned that you have mentioned millions in this location of the airport. Is it a good location or is it a bad one? Because we have really operated within Redlands Avenue, Redlands Boulevard, not in the airport. We have bought the airport and it is actually fine. So if you are seeing where this place is coming from, if there are those residential places, if you are seeing what can help the community, unfortunately, the way in which we have approved this, we have had to visit the community and make sure that there is a certain distance within this legal part of the operators that we have. And that's why we're not legal here. They're illegal. But there are two places where we're talking about these churches. And these are places that exist for dinos. You haven't closed them in five years. Yes, there are.
Cigarette trade and illegal tobacco. Cannabis too. So there is an illegal place near the church today. So cannabis is legal. We have the verification of the zoning in this particular plot. So I'm confused. So, is that what you're telling me? So, as far as what respects me, it's very close to the residences. So, I'm a person who writes about politics, and so I really respect our own rules. Yes, you respect the rules that are respected. Speaking of a residential area, this is not a residential area, it's close, but it's not. So in the parameters that we really have to work on, then we can comment that the staff has worked terribly hard, they have done a very good job, thank you. personal you mentioned previously of two actions. So one is to transfer the name. So you encouraged us to have the municipal body and also in terms of the place, is it something that can help the staff to this person or this owner to see in another place that makes sense to him? To clarify, the staff supports the actions of the board, but looking for alternative places is something we can do. But this current operator is completely invested in the property, in the investment that they want to make in that place. We would have el agrado de trabajar con el solicitante con este artículo en particular y el personal siempre tiene la voluntad de trabajar con nuestros solicitantes Sánchez. nosotros establecimos una política, hicimos las reglas y las reglas son que nosotros no utilizamos parámetros que no conformen con las zonas residenciales. So the areas that are called soft or sensitive, this is an example, they're all in the center, they're all very close to community centers, centers, old people's establishments, and they really haven't improved the quality of life of these people in these sensitive areas. We're now talking about this impossible task when we are looking for another place, when this place has already been completed. We go five miles from any sensitive receptor. We are really completing with our order and we say, well, this is a little too close. Five miles, we go six miles. So they have desestimado las reglas, el lugar cumple con la ordenanza. Entonces, tenemos que decirle, no, no, váyase, busque otra propiedad, venga más tarde y dígame si nosotros pensamos que esto está bien. No importa si cumple o no con la ley. Entonces, dicho sea de paso, no es un mandato, es algo que aprobamos. Estábamos todos aquí cuando lo aprobamos. We cannot not consider the use of the informative. Tonight we sent many messages very close that we don't want to continue with this. So I'm going to approve the recommendations. Is there a substitute motion with support? Yes. Let's see. Better said. This is about the houses, right? And the church. So if there is discretion that it's very close to a church, why would we be sitting here if we didn't have the option, like there wasn't an option to do something different that could include something that's present to us. And I think Realmente yo pienso que hemos tenido esta conversación. No es algo que, no puede ser un lugar donde nosotros tengamos un McDonald's o esto porque está muy cerca. No me diga que no le importa porque esto es lo que nosotros acabamos de hablar. Why if there is opinions of the councilors that they can choose and talk with the staff, that they work together with the owner something that they could or could not get a license for. Why continue all these negotiations with the owner when we haven't decided anything yet? And if the staff doesn't need us and they fix everything on their own, they cook up the whole problem or the matter with the owner, why do they want us here? Why are we here? So they come here and say, this is already done, it's already cooked. And then people say, we don't want this. So here we are, in the middle. So whenever the councilors have an opinion on politics, and if we don't correct the issues, we will continue to have this problem. So years later, with other councilors, with other perspectives, that they don't want cannabis. So we can see how it all worked out. In the past, I have no objection, sir, that you have a license. Licensing is not a problem. The problem is that the community doesn't want you in the community. So if we didn't listen to the community, we wouldn't be doing our job. If we're not properly making the laws work and we close certain establishments that the community doesn't want, then I know there have been requests for $5,000 that have been paid for the license, but why did they come to this? There are many things that work, but when the communities don't want, and the city didn't tell this person You're going to try a place that may or may not have. It's not our problem, it's your problem. Why are you creating problems, you, municipal staff? We have two things. So I continue with the request. seguir adelante con la transferencia de este negocio en cuanto a su nombre, pero no aprobar el lugar, porque está muy cerca de la iglesia. Apoyo el pedimento, pero hay sustitutos. ¿Cuál es el apoyo? Ah, entonces Sánchez, ¿qué dijo Sánchez? Entonces, yo voy a ser muy breve. McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's We have a museum for McDonald's. And here we are sending the messages to the community. We leave two buildings vacant, totally empty. And I want to know, I understand that we should be working with builders to help them develop the community, but it is not our job to look for agitators. I would like to open a marijuana business. busquenme un negocio que cumpla. Entonces nosotros buscamos a nuestro personal para buscar el hogar. Eso es lo que estamos haciendo. ellos están cumpliendo. Ellos jugarán según las reglas. Cumplieron las reglas. Estamos mandándole un mensaje muy peligroso a los constructores, a la comunidad de edificios. Tengo amigos que son constructores que están en el negocio de construction de edificios porque no vienen a aplicar para construir casas y la respuesta dice que un constructor de viviendas dice porque voy a venir a san bernardino cuando puedo ir a todos estos otros these other regional cities and it's a lot easier to work with them. We're all here doing our service, trying to make this place easier and making this place easier. But we're not doing it. We're not accomplishing this conversation that we're talking about. So again, I'll close with my comment. I'll close with my comment. I'll close with my comment. I'll close with my comment. I'll close with my comment. I'll close with my comment. I'll close with my comment. Flores, y después seguimos con el pedimento. Gracias, alcaldesa. Tengo una pregunta para el gestor municipal. Tenemos dos opciones. Entonces, ¿de quién es la licencia y también la transferencia de propiedad? Nosotros hemos podido aprobar en este momento el pedimento y poder seguir adelante con este asunto de la propiedad a otra reunión. This question for my colleagues, to be able to make a substitution request, please. So we're going to ask for the request and the substitute request and we're going to ask for the vote. If I heard it right, So that's why what you're asking for? Yes. Thanks to Mayor Atran and Councilor Flores. The substitute requests have to be conditional. So in this way we will be able to make the substitution. We will make the substitute request to approve the transfer of the permit. transfer uh the new property transferred to a different council if they're willing to do that We're real investors in the city. It's our real money. I don't see, like in our church here, I don't see, like in our church here, I don't see, like in our church here, I don't see, like in our church here, I don't see, like in our church here, I don't see, like in our church here, I don't see, like in our church here, I don't see, It's not a controversial article. It's not controversial. No, no. Mr. Flores, antes de transferir el nombre y la otra acción para continuar a una reunión futura entonces para entender que esto es correcto para estamos tratando de pasar este tema para una reunión futura I'm always for community commitment, but do you want a community meeting? What do you want? Pienso que necesitamos algo claro en cuanto a las expectativas. Entonces, la expectativa es una reunión comunitaria, sí. Entonces, para tener las voces escuchadas de todas estas personas, mejor dicho, no sus voces, sino sus opiniones, ¿verdad? Entonces, para que esta persona pueda vender su visión, hacernos entender. So do you want to maybe work with staff in order to conduct a new meeting? So staff, did you have a personal comment? As far as community engagement is concerned, . . . present a comment, but we have not conducted or carried out any community approach to the previous requests. So a request like that, but only for the clarity that the public was notified within 600 feet of that place. What was the original request? Ortiz originated the request, there was support and the recommendation. I believe that this was the replacement replacement request. If the recommendation of the staff is denied to approve the recommendation replaced by the councilor Ortiz to transfer the location with a replacement replacement request and also to to move the place in terms of asking for a new audience. So the request must be different from the request you made. Who supported the original request? Did Mario get a second? So at this moment, the request for replacement that Sanchez and Choret supported is the first thing we're going to vote on. The disapproval of both articles and the original request was that the councilor Ortiz denied the change of the place, but the transfer of the permit. She carried out that amendment. The original request was to deny in its entirety. No, that wasn't the original request. To deny both the transfer of the license and the place. No, no, it wasn't like that. Oh, God. So you denied it because we weren't there, we were in the third. So the request was to approve the transfer and the support. That was what happened before. To clarify, I think that the request or the requests are different. Let's take the most recent request and vote. If it fails, we go back to all the requests. Let's start with the most recent request to see if it is accepted unanimously. So we have a conditional substitute request supported and also clarify the request. And if not, the municipal secretary, please, will repeat that request if necessary. Let's see. Repeat, please. Approve the transfer of loans and move the portion of the items to a future date. Do you support this? Nothing? We go to the substitute request presented by Sanchez. We go back.
We can do two motions.
Councilor Sanchez, please. for the motion of the councilor sanchez which was different and is valid she can simply leave her motion and the substitute motion that is really at this moment is ready to be voted which is the one we can repeat please and the support yes Mayor, I'm sorry, I really need clarification. I understand that the first motion was the first, Council Member Ortiz. The second motion was the first, Council Member Ortiz. so for the concejalibarra yes and then the second substitute motion by sanchez the third was a substitute option and this one failed if i'm not remembering and then there is a substitute there is a fourth and this is a fifth but please please you can answer that Yes there was a substitute There is a substitute motion made and there is no impediment for anyone to make a substitute motion where we have previously made a substantial different motion. Now let's go back to the next motion, which is from Councilor Ortiz, followed by Councilor Lebarra. And please, you can repeat this motion so we can make the vote. to approve the transfer of property and change the, deny the transfer. Councilor Sanchez, no. Councilor Barra, yes. Councilor Figueroa, no. Councilor Sherrod, no. Councilor Lenterino, no. Councilor Flores, yes. Councilor Ortiz, yes. la moción pasa falla cuatro a tres gracias ahora regresamos a la moción por consejal sancho seguido por consejal jared y por favor usted puede repetir esta moción y hacer la votación Councilor Sánchez, no. Councilor Figueroa, no. Councilor Figueroa, no. Councilor Figueroa, no. Councilor Figueroa, no.
Councilor Figueroa, no.
Councilor Figueroa, no. Councilor Figueroa, no. Councilor Figueroa, no.
Councilor Figueroa, no.
Councilor Figueroa, no. Councilor Figueroa, no. Councilor Figueroa, no.
We have reached 9.23.
Now we have the resolution of 9.24. If we can extend more than 10, we have to vote. What are the articles to vote on after this meeting? There is a motion to continue the meeting. I would like to make a comment on this. I know that some of these are sent by the state and have to be sent and approved for July 1st. I think we have to make better decisions with the rest of the states. Please, if the team can identify which ones are. Maybe there's an additional public hearing. Sorry, two public hearings and two. Please. Commissioner Sanchez?
Yes. Commissioner Brevard?
Motion passes unanimously. Thank you for your advice. We move on to the next audience, number five, for the benefit of Zach Scheldt. I'm going to give this to the interim mayor because we have to have these contributions. Interim Mayor, please. You need to excuse me for this as well. This is, um, Okay, so I'm opening the public hearing at 9.26 p.m. and with the equipment that we can present this article. Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor, members of the council, this article is un requerimiento de la ciudad para poder adoptar esta resolución basada en la equidad de impuestos y el acto de visibilidad, donde esto viene del sistema de SAC Health incorporado para poder actualizar esta aplicación Y con este requerimiento es algo que es mandado por los impuestos de la ley. Esto no es algo donde la ciudad está impuesta de manera financiera, sino que estamos pasando las organizaciones y alcanzando el proyecto así de lo que está alcanzando dentro de esta jurisdicción basado en las leyes federales que están requeridas para adoptar la resolución aprobando. los requerimientos por los aplicantes para asegurar estos 500 millones de dólares. Y si no, no estamos seguros de para qué es toda esta evidencia. Consejero Ortiz. Basado en la información, me gustaría mover la aprobación. Thank you. We have to close this hearing. Do you have any other questions or comments for the team? We have an additional requirement to talk to Dolores Arnson. tenemos 95 millones de dólares para nosotros para estos 95 millones de millones de dólares pueden ustedes explicarlo en inglés para poder entender para poder entender lo que están diciendo gracias en estos 500 millones de dólares The city is not looking for it, but to be able to ensure this loan based on these federal taxes, where they are located in the city of San Bernardino, it has to adopt this resolution recognizing this particular requirement. It has nothing to do with the city or adjustment by the organization. With this, this is practically to allow public comments. What we are doing is adjusting public comments. If not, there is no other point to be able to make these positive or negative points of these funds. solamente estamos proveyendo para que la gente pueda expresar sus opiniones y hemos hecho esto anteriormente si esto es alrededor de estos puntos que hemos presentado anteriormente muchas gracias tenemos los aplicantes que necesitan hablar hay una moción ya un apoyo lo está cerrando I just want to give...
Okay, thank you very much.
If there are no other questions from the council. We are going to close the public hearing at 9.30 p.m. Voting approved. Mayor Tarino, do you want me to read the recommendations? Yes. Mayor Tarino.
We have no obligation.
All right, thank you. We can call for the question. Yes. Council Member Navarro. Tengo un comentario rápido. Estos prácticamente todos danos las bendiciones para que puedan aprobar este préstamo, ¿correcto? No. Estos nuevamente estamos facilitando.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
The motion passes 6 to 1 with Councilor Figueroa and Mayor Trim excusing themselves from voting. Excuse me, 6 to 0.
Thank you Mayor Fontana.
Thank you Mayor Fontana. We will now move on to Article 6 of the United Kingdom Code, fiscal year 2026, fiscal year 2027, fiscal year 2031, capital improvement program. We are opening the hearing at 9.32 p.m. If we can present, please. Yes, councillor, since this is exactly what we have seen in the budget, we can evade. There is a motion. I would like to make a motion to evade. Is there any opposition from the mayor? There is no opposition. Okay, so I just wanted to make a comment. If it's appropriate time to do this. Obviously, we have to pass the budget, but I think that I'm sending my, many times for my feelings about this society budget. I'm not proud of this pride, passing a budget that structurally is invalid. Future outlook is what I most, It's really what I'm quite worried about, what we're moving on to after tonight. I really need more discussions, substitutes, on how we can get out of this trap, looking at our budget. The other thing we're seeing within this significant part, and I can't see anything else with these changes in income, what we're generating with respect to some of the visas, I think we're predicting around 200% of what we're seeing, which I think is 900, and all of a sudden since it's inflated to over $281,000 and now the $2 million that we're proposing for the fiscal year, this is really a significant difference. And I'm not trying to discredit the team for what they're doing, but things that we've put in in order to adjust things and make sure we're able to try to balance that and see what we're doing with this credit, but we're just indicating that we're failing. It's just not quite the credits for me.
do not know We do have to pass this.
I understand that, but I haven't heard enough activity in future planning to be able to get out of this hole. Thank you, Mayor Trinan, for the good comments. Before I read the committee's ideas, I want to make sure that I'm following the public comments. Do we have any public comments? Yes, we have two. I'm going to start here. Miriam Nieto and Michael Segura. Please get to the podium These two people have 3 minutes
Good afternoon, Council. Thank you again. We are here to support the budget and funding.
Thank you for this funding for the arts and culture parts of this corridor, recognizing that this corridor is quite important for the development of the city. In addition, we have these new activities, these new residencies and and I really appreciate that you guys are taking a chance. um
hello my name is manuel segura i'm here speaking as a resident of san bernardino san bernardino
Y esas inversiones en este arte es crítico para poder tener esas innovaciones que están pasando en nuestros negocios, más negocios locales y diferentes apoyos que tenemos. Estos rengocios locales de San Bernardino, algunos de ahí. Y estos programas, to see if we can include these businesses in ERC, something that you have supported in the past, these businesses in Cal State and these centers of entrepreneurship of the university where we can maintain these businesses and offer these different vacant lots where we can return them, something that they need.
and purchase the space or they can lease out a space.
We've seen creative businesses close, we've seen them grow. Some of them don't have the business background, so they don't have a revenue source, but they are critical as you bring the life to the area of San Bernardino, the life to the area of San Bernardino, where we are still creating hundreds of people out of San Bernardino.
They didn't have any support really from the city, and they didn't have those resources,
I wouldn't want to see more of that happening, so I'm guessing it's not critical. And it's a smart investment. We're trying to see how we can invest in art and how we can strategically place it to be able to bring in double investment and bring in double philanthropy as well as other non-profit supporters. Thank you all for listening.
It was hard to get out at the public hearing in the middle of the day. You know, luckily, this is my job to be an honest leader. But, yeah, I know it's late.
We have to get back to our families. Thank you all for coming. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, say your name and then I'll read it out loud.
Kim, you're hitting the nail on the head.
We need to be thinking about revenues in the long term. Now I understand government because I came from government. Government is here to you. We are on parallel tracks here. One is a balance that's hidden, but what's our vision for the future? a balanced budget, but what is your vision for the future? I met with the municipal director this week, thank you, how kind, and I asked him to redistribute a document that I wrote, and I went to that meeting with a goal. We can And I said, why not give it to San Bernardino, Victoria Gardens, and not Greenville? But make it better. Improve on it. So I gave them a history of the evolution of different types of development, community centers, commercial centers. So before they built Victoria Gardens, they knew exactly what they were going to have. Entonces, los constructores vinieron y dijeron, el señor Hahn murió quien había construido todos los centros comerciales. Entonces, ¿qué les parece el estilo de vida? that people start to come out and appreciate our Mediterranean climate, also with their shopping experiences. So that was what San Bernardino was before, 50, 60 years ago. So let's make a Victoria Gardens, or better. So we're going to give them architecture peatones, soluciones. Nunca traigo una propuesta sin soluciones. Siempre le doy soluciones. Baseline, Watermark, Avenida Highland. Entonces, les puedo dar soluciones para todas las calles, pero en este momento ya no tengo tiempo, no tengo más en los minutos. Entonces, con todos estos artículos que se declararon independientes, voy a volver, voy a volver. Gracias. Cierro la audiencia publica a las 9.43 de la noche. Entonces, concejal Ortiz. Gracias. Tengo evidencia. Entonces, nosotros hablamos en cuanto a las reservas financieras, guardamos dinero. Entonces, tendríamos más dinero en los ingresos. Entonces, then we have the preparation of a general plan then also with the housing element and also that in January there were opportunities that we can agree on in the next six months for the preparation to prepare what you are saying So is that really beneficial? That was my question. As far as So we are ready for this development. So with the sales tax, then how much can we have or collect in property taxes and trade? So in this way we will be able to Thank you. Thank you for the motion. Is there a second? Just one more comment, and I don't know if this is, because we've been having this conversation, kind of just to speak about, and I mean, what's your opinion on the taxes and the property taxes? I think this is going to be a long-term thing, when it comes to our proposed development, as we're proposing, how to move forward in terms of other developments, if at least we could have that dialogue. So, as Ortiz was saying, for these particular developments. So it would be an option A, first, for us to move forward with these conversations to claim more of our property taxes and improve, and not just one type, we do this, we do that, and do nothing. So, as you mentioned, and I say to people, there's nothing that we can expect. When I saw the headlines, the news that Rancho Cucamonda was going to recreate its center, and also during COVID they were talking about developing the center, that there were no funds and then there are funds and we are still talking and talking and talking. That's the only thing we can talk about. So what is very worrying and challenging, we are still talking about a general plan, We don't even have plans to implement it. So what's the point of the budget? What money do we have to invest in our city and in that way continue to invest? That's my problem. At the moment we have a very small budget, terribly small. So we can continue to plan with a vision. So in this way we can Thank you. Thank you. We'll continue. tengo que hablar con el gestor municipal a ver un comentario para él. Entonces, en cuanto a el desarrollo cultural, entonces, especialmente tenemos a course that must be managed by your office, right? So when we talk about arts, it's visual arts, but there are other arts, right? So we have the artistic part, actors, painters, et cetera, a lot of them. So in terms of these arts, so it could really be Figueroa M. another part of my recommendation is in terms of the historical preservation of our culture. So the recommendations, right? And also, if you could go with that part of the recommendation, we will be able to do something, right? So we would have a development So this was our contact. Again, there's a lot of people who say, art can be so many things. Even Steve Maller integrates art. Mathematics is also art. You can include mathematics in art. So we can talk about the corridor in the city center, but it's also just There are many different branches in art, not only visual art. So I would like to be in that committee. It would be wonderful to review all the applicants and see what we can do. Thank you. Muy bien, entonces tendríamos que trabajar conjuntamente con ese comité, ¿verdad?, gestor municipal. Entonces yo también puedo contestarle a la alcaldesa interina acerca de lo que ocurra varias veces. I would like to emphasize for the art portion, as for the art director or the department that works closely with the arts that the commission is going to launch and all of this, and also in terms of how the developers feel. So I think that we will probably collaborate with the mayor's office Yes, yes, it's a team that can do it and that emphasizes the importance, right? Exactly. It's a great opinion and point of view. I want to make sure, and in terms of the return of our investment and also in terms of the Presidency of the Arts and Preservation, The benefit of the investment is what will really bring economic development for the center of the city of San Bernardino and also the purpose that we really must be catalytic to be able to get more investments, not just one project here, another project there, but a current of investment. So, in this way, podemos adjudicar un millón de dólares y de esa manera tener el retorno de nuestra inversión, continuar invirtiendo. Es lo que debemos hacer. Gracias. Vean Bloomberg en las ciudades donde la cultura y los artes, y Riverside hicieron también un trabajo maravilloso. Entonces, hay comunidades exitosas que tratan de llevar a cabo este esfuerzo. Hagámoslo. Any other comments, Ibarra? I'd like to thank the staff for putting this together. I saw the capital project, which is a little bit more global. And I'd also like to thank the municipal staff for all the articles that we have here that have passed, especially the street signs. I think Kamás mentioned Trish Gray and how she was here and cut or divided the funds into eight parts for various projects, something that's missing here. So I remember, for example, the signals that we owed the judicial 500,000 each year for five years to pay it. And now on the list, let's see. Calle 15. Queda un remanente 1.5 millones para los fondos de la medida S, pero no explica por año cómo llegamos ahí. Basándonos en lo que ha dicho el público, no veo el plan para ejecutar y ver que estos artículos den fruto, veo que los costos estamos atascados hasta conseguir los fondos para poder subdividir y ver qué es lo que podemos hacer realmente en la ciudad. Estamos con las manos atadas en cuanto a lo que podemos hacer. Gracias, personal, por escucharnos y por traer estos artículos a la mesa. ¿Algún otro comentario? Gracias. Gracias por mejorar San Bernardino. ¿Pedimento? Sí. ¿Hay un apoyo? Sí. ¿Miembro del Consejo? Sánchez, sí. Ibarra, sí. Figueroa, sí. Suret, sí. Protein Canals, sí. Flores, sí. Ortiz, sí. Pasa en forma unánime este pedimento. Bueno, por lo menos quiero decir una cosa y solamente quiero decir una sola cosa más en cuanto agradecerle a todo el personal por todo el trabajo que ha llevado a cabo y por este proyecto realmente que han hecho. Muchas gracias. Vamos a seguir con los ítems de discusión. If we can start with the 15 first, then we'll go with the 15. The 15 is in terms of discussion. So we have the district number 202-2026, the special tax for four and also the staff presentation, please.
I want to support this.
Is there a request for support? Is there opposition?
Well, let's continue.
Number 32, the last one in discussion, the 707. So we have the presentation. Thank you for the presentation. It's not necessary. These, no, I understand. Can I amend any of these or is that basically what I think? So basically, we're going to make the request.
Emotion? Yes.
We're ready. Sanchez? Very good. Ibarra? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Comentarios publicos. Comentarios publicos. Fuentes Andy, Scott Olsen, Al Palazzo, Eric Marquez, Kim Calvin, Dolores Armstead, Jim Smith, Virginia Marquez, Emilio Lulio, Jr. Tim Prince, Carmen Gallegos, Orman Williams, William Nieto, Michael Figueroa.
Thank you again.
My apologies to all the public commentators for the public comments. I skipped them, sorry. So we may go to the public comments. You have three minutes each. Last week I gave you a document. Please make a copy of this document and let everyone else know. That document was immense in terms of how we can rebuild the San Bernardino Center. I'm working with what we have and also and realize whatever what I'm offering you. And I'm telling you, Figueroa, because I'm telling you how we can use the arts to transform this city. And again, Muchisimo dinero, muchisimos ingresos. Por favor, alcaldesa, deles mi documento. Este es el documento del gerente municipal. No, es el que le di hace una semana. Es el centro de la ciudad. No es el Carrusel Mall. Es de las veredas aledañas. Cómo poder... at Depayment City and how we can go and bring the performance out from Cucamonga. The whole Neighborly Service, the fact is that a lot of people came to have dinner here at the Fox Theater, at the Fox Theater, and they had a lot of food, they had to walk, they had to take a walk, they had to take a walk, they had to take a walk, they had to take a walk. So we're talking about resources. So we have to rebuild. We can go to all the dimensions of Las Vegas. We can do that. And better. So what's going to rebuild the city is a movement, a passion, a renaissance. We have to build bridges with them.
I have ideas, and I tell you we have ideas. The problem with the government is that if you don't have the money, you don't want to think about the idea. And I'm not asking you to come with this idea. I'm just saying, let me sit in this place to give you the idea. And you know what I'm going to tell you. If you have a good idea, I can't escucharla, pero como no lo van a tener, le voy a decir que si ustedes se benefician de las personas de San Bernardino y se mueve esta ciudad en adelante ahora sin darles estos diferentes consultantes caros, den a las personas lo que necesitan. my name is michael segura i spoke before i just want to thank you all for passing this budget this million dollars thank you also for lifting these taxes So, just going back to the arts, one thing we want to make sure the governance of the government is to the point where the people's farmers and our coalition that we build in, we want to make sure that we're not providing as people who've been advocating for this. So, the business in the car, is that an integration now, or a selection? Three different houses, three little bluebird boutique,
And all the residents, the artists, the cultural fairs that have been a part of all the work we've been doing to get to this point. Now, stuff our coalition is working on currently, we're continuing to do the work on the corridor, on the East Street corridor.
And in this corridor on the east side, to be able to see this funding around this corridor, within these fundings, to be able to have this support from the city. Another thing that we are looking at is these funding mechanisms to be able to spend money on these different reports and policies.
um we're just excited to continue to partner with you and make sure that
uh thank you very much Muchas gracias. Gracias por su paciencia. Siguiente.
Por favor. Diga su nombre.
Buenas tardes, honorables miembros del consejo. Mi nombre es Martina Marquez y soy una residente de siempre y miembro del consejo del 2023, del 2003 al 2018 y primer candidata al primer distrito. Quiero agradecerles a todas las personas que for me, it was an incredible experience. I felt connected by many new voters in the first district in the west of Mary Rockers for the different complexes of residents. I have met many first voters and I have also met many others who have been citizens of our community for the first time. y tengamos ese impacto de las personas en los últimos 84 años, su respuesta era bastante importante. Voten porque es su responsabilidad como ciudadano americano y esto es por detener estos últimos meses en la lluvia, en la tierra, en el viento. And it's in this time that we are taking the leadership as a withdrawal. I can travel around the world, but my city is my home and I am not going anywhere. San Bernardino is currently facing different difficulties and we are experiencing representing this first district during the bankruptcy, bankruptcy on December 2nd and being able to vote in our city. Thank you. Next speaker, please say your name.
We have three minutes. Good evening.
I have a couple of questions and one is for the city manager. Where do you live? In Fullerton. OK, this is going to help me understand how it is that you have different articles in the council. That are totally. Nada aceptado de lo que tiene a la comunidad que tenga que decir que necesita. No creo que ustedes tengan un concepto de lo que realmente San Bernardino necesite. Y esa es mi opción personal y es de las acciones que yo veo que usted toma. Miembro o la concejala. How is this possible? These situations were extremely similar, except for that you did see that it was 600 feet in a church, and that church probably had about 200 members. cada domingo los estacionamientos es bastante lleno y los martes y miércoles usted va a poner una tienda de cannabis cerca de ellos al frente de la calle miembros de la comunidad que viven usted ha recibido una notificación no no lo hemos recibido the people who have taken over these communities or the rural areas. So, definitely, And of course, Fred and Ted and Juan are going to do what they normally do, but I'll probably, and I'll add in the slides, where 60s have their name on it. Some of these 40s and 60s have their name on it. I'll be not sure, but as well. But the fact that you all make these sort of decisions on a general plan, and if you just might stay 25 years outdated so that you can make moves like you just did, So how do they achieve that? With this general plan to be able to have this city in the future? So I'm just wondering if you're talking about a part of the Good afternoon, honorable mayor, members of the council, members of the community. I am a resident of San Bernardino, a 35-year-old lawyer. And I want to make some comments on the appropriate role of the city attorney or the city attorney. The city attorney is not a judge. The city attorney will not order you to do anything. We have a history in this city of 26 years under Jim Penman, a very strong city attorney, very important and direct attorney. Y sabemos dónde esto nos lleva. Hemos ido de la ciudad antigua de hasta esta ciudad de bancarrota. Su interés financiero es contribución de campañas dictados por sus opiniones legales. Son consejos legales aquí. Lo que estamos viendo con esta opinión legal. Bueno, no voy a regresarlos a la escuela, pero déjenme recordarles que son diferentes fuentes de ley donde esta es la constitución donde podamos tomar esta presidencia legal y los puntos legales de que no todas las decisiones se publican en California. But in nuestras opiniones publicas, there's been a decision by a court of appeal that this opinion should be published because it's useful. Because it should be used with these different facts that we are given when we go to this law school. We are given facts to the law and then you look at the law and then you look at the laws that apply to these facts. And they say that when a city has a lawyer and there aren't many businesses, but when you have two or more prosecutors, that's where you can try to have these legal opinions and there's a lot of openness for opinion. When you have this legal counsel, there's a president. Importante, hay una citación, un nombre de caso, hay un código que se estatúa donde dice que quizá la constitución y el porqué tenemos estas opiniones legales que mencionan, donde liberan esta responsabilidad al público, donde se ve este control de estados hasta que ustedes puedan interpretar su propia resolución. Eso no es una opinión legal. Gracias. Señor Contralor, por favor, diga su nombre. Tiene tres minutos. My name is Scott Olson. And what I'm going to say tonight is that it has to do with this committee. My name was mentioned on February 2nd and I can go back. My first experience was in front of this espionage. Sandra, I'm here to serve the committee as much as you want, as long as I'm not reelected. I may or may not be the only committee. The same goes for District 1 with Teddy Sanchez. I was informed early on when I came back for a second time that when they voted to approve the community, we were not allowed to vote on anything related to government but as a condition on me as a candidate, And you know what?
this current point and how we can we don't have an obstacle here to be able to discuss it for all the public to see it
So if not, we're going to have to have this committee because everything we do is trying to help the mayor or other things. We're going to get an answer that no, we can't do this for this reason. The second point is that our last meeting was quite surprising because I wasn't there in April and the people who attended these committees were members of the committee, they voted, they didn't want to do anything in 2026. Entonces hicieron esto sin tener un desafío, un solo desafío en frente de ellos. ¿Por qué tenían que votar de que no estaba presentado aquí? Regresamos aquí al siguiente punto para poder empezar una discusión. Bastante infeliz de lo que hemos obtenido en este punto político. Entonces no hablo con este comité, hablo por mí mismo. Cuando me siento, cuando siento en hablar con excepción de Fred, porque realmente no está dentro de un miembro de este comité. Todo esto es culpa porque el resto de ustedes, cinco de ustedes, ustedes, miembros del consejo, votaron en no hacer nada hasta el 2028. first of all i'm the appointing of the of the mayor and i wanted to talk to her And specifically, we can make some very important decisions. We've talked about a lot of important things in our committees, but nobody knows about it because we're not really seeing how these I don't know how much that's going to cost you to be able to do a conference about what's happening in the city of San Bernardino. We have unanimous votes to preserve the names of Hogan Park, the city of Hogan Park, the history of these exquisite parks. There is no racism, nothing that had to be done to preserve the history of California, to preserve the history of San Bernardino. This is the most important thing. We are seeing the important part of the image of the city of San Bernardino. And unfortunately, it has been a long counseling of what we're talking about, because there's something very specific to do. And I want to encourage you to do that. And I'm willing to go ahead and tell you how many people in the city are on the call to do what you say, and I want to encourage you to do that. of second part uh and i hope you agree with this when it comes to a vote thank you thank you for being here thank you for your patience the next speaker i'm going to say his name has been a long night i have a lot of things to talk about but the first Hay un comité de revisión hace una semana atrás y no hubo una conferencia por YouTube y esos videos aún no están publicados en ninguna plataforma. Entonces esta presta reuniones importantes de lo que fue. I don't know. The McDonald's will have to close at 4 p.m. because the kids who leave the school go and fight. And this really happens in different McDonald's around the city. And the last thing... you you Deceived by my comment that I made And I don't know why, because you've done so many things, but until you agree with you, I am. I'm deceiving you and you're putting a lot of things in my head. So I don't think you should do that, especially to a 14-year-old boy, to be able to put this comment here. And you really are something important.
Me pareció muy grosero lo que usted hizo, realmente sumamente grosero lo que hizo también con el abogado municipal y los abogados municipales. Estuvo usted muy grosero. Entonces, por favor, usted sigue atacando. Entonces, nosotros necesitamos... to let you know that everything is being recorded, that we have, please look and investigate, because we need to have, of course, television or recording of absolutely everything that is being done. So it's the section of the special committees, the special commissions. then we conclude the public comments very well municipal secretary and all the public for your patience and then we are going to go now to the current sessions and bar I just wanted to tell you tonight about Thank you. Thank you. I just want to say thank you to the board of regents. I just want to say thank you to the committee. I want to say thank you to the board of regents.

We went to the Heinz Park in Double Heights Park, and I also want to congratulate the association and also the mayor for coming with me, door to door, delivering brochures, and also for the night. Thank you to all the parks for really helping and we also had a lot of fun and I was able to take a new member of the Forest family and also to the animal shelter. We also spent a good night. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. As we said before, I also attended Station 227 this morning, the new really artistic station, the second new one, and we started the construction. There was going to be more. And I understand that the fire department has something in mind as well. to build the 227. It was built in 1953. It definitely needed more construction or renovation. So in Arrowhead, in Bay Creek, and also yesterday, I went to have coffee with a policeman. And then we had 85 who came to talk to the police, to talk in front of a cup of coffee. So they have done a wonderful job for the Eastern District.
