FROM: Jeff Mathieu, City Manager
REVIEWED BY: John Harris, Director of Development Services
PREPARED BY: Israel Gomez, Assistant Engineer
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE A COMMON USE
AGREEMENT WITH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY
FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT – RATHBUN CREEK TRAIL
& KNICKERBOCKER TRAIL
Construction of the Knickerbocker Trail concluded in May 2015. The asphalt half-mile long trail
provides a bicycle and pedestrian connection between Veteran’s Park, adjacent to the lake, and the
Village along the San Bernardino County Flood Control District (SBCFCD) Knickerbocker
drainage channel. The project was constructed under the terms of a SBCFCD Construction Permit.
Similarly, we are engineering and constructing a bicycle and pedestrian trail in multiple phases
along Rathbun Creek to provide a connection between the lake and the San Bernardino National
Forest, with access points to residential neighborhoods, businesses, and local attractions along the
way. A portion of the Rathbun Creek Trail between Elm Street and the “trout ponds” was
constructed in 2018. This portion of the trail will be extended to Big Bear Boulevard in spring
2020, and will include the construction of two (2) pedestrian bridges, one (1) spanning Rathbun
Creek just upstream of the existing concrete channel near Big Bear Boulevard, and one (1)
spanning a small tributary to Rathbun Creek farther upstream. This project will also be constructed
under the terms of a SBCFCD Construction Permit.
SBCFCD requires entities constructing facilities within its jurisdictional area to execute a
Common Use Agreement. The Agreement ensures SBCFCD facilities are accessible for
maintenance and requires us to responsibly maintain the trail. The Agreement also details the
responsibilities of each party and ensures flood conveyance within SBCFCD storm drain channels
is not compromised by our project.
FISCAL IMPACT
Execution of this Common Use Agreement has no direct fiscal impact. Trail maintenance costs for
completed construction projects will be included in future annual operating budgets.

SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE – TRANSIENT
PRIVATE HOME RENTAL INSPECTION SERVICES
Our Transient Private Home Rental (TPHR) Program has become a model for other communities
to follow. The program benefits our community by expanding the number and type of lodging
facilities available, and provides revenue to home owners which may be used for maintenance and
upgrades to facilities. The TPHR Program includes comprehensive regulations to reduce the
likelihood for nuisances typically associated with temporary occupancy such as increased traffic,
noise, and density in residential neighborhoods. Additionally, each TPHR unit is inspected
annually to ensure health and safety standards are met. These inspections are conducted by third-
party professional service providers, contracted by the City, in accordance with California
Building Code and the City’s TPHR Program.
In 2008, the City Council first authorized advertisement for TPHR inspection services.
Periodically, we renew our commitment to the TPHR inspection program by advertising and
identifying qualified third-party professional service providers. Our last advertisement took place
five years ago; thus, we request authorization to advertise for TPHR Inspection Services.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
Soliciting and contracting for inspection services does not constitute a “project” for purposes of
the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et. seq.) (“CEQA”) and
the State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.), and therefore does not
require environmental review. Specifically, under State CEQA Guidelines section 15378,
“project” does not include administrative activities or government fiscal activities that do not
involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a physical change in the
environment. Even if the renewal constituted a “project” for purposes of CEQA, the project would
be exempt from environmental review under State CEQA Guidelines section 15301 (Existing
Facilities), 15320 (Organization of Local Agencies), and 15061(b)(3), which exempts projects for
which it can be seen with certainty will not result in significant environmental impacts. None of
the exceptions found in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 to the use of these exemptions
are present.

PREPARED BY: Jacky Chan, Assistant Engineer
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE – INFLOW AND
INFILTRATION REDUCTION PROJECT
Water, other than sanitary sewer flows, entering the sewer collection system is referred to as Inflow
and Infiltration (I&I). Damaged pipes and lateral connections, cross-connections, and un-capped
surface clean-outs allow ground water and surface water to enter the collection system. This I&I
decreases capacity within the sanitary sewer collection system and over-burdens sewer pumps. It
also increases wastewater treatment costs significantly. Connections between sanitary sewer
laterals and mainlines, known as Service Lateral Connections (SLCs), are prone to separation,
potentially introducing I&I to the collection system.
We have developed a multi-year project to reduce I&I at SLCs. I&I is reduced by rehabilitating
SLCs through a cost-effective process known as “Top Hat” pipe lining. A resin-impregnated,
fiberglass laminate is shaped to fit within each SLC and seals against the mainline interior surface.
An epoxy compound added to the resin creates a watertight seal and eliminates infiltration
typically caused by tree roots that have grown through SLC pipe joints. This process is completed
within the mainline pipes, eliminating surface trenching and costly street repairs. After SLC
surface preparation, each “Top Hat” liner is installed in less than fifteen (15) minutes.
The Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Project will be completed in multiple annual phases. Each
year, approximately 100 - 150 SLCs within a problematic portion of the sanitary sewer collection
system will be rehabilitated. We request authorization to advertise the first five (5) annual phases
with a single Invitation For Bid. Anticipated costs for each project phase will be included in the
annual City Operating Budget, and annual phases will only be authorized after the City Council
has adopted the annual budget. Additional phases will be bid prior to year six (6) of the project.
The schedule for the first five (5) annual phases is detailed below:

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
The Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Project is categorically exempt from environmental review
pursuant to Section 15301 Class 1(b) California Environmental Quality Act. Class 1 consists of
the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing
public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving
negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's
determination. The types of "existing facilities" itemized below are not intended to be all-inclusive
AGENDA REPORT: AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE – INFLOW AND INFILTRATION
REDUCTION PROJECT
November 25, 2019
Page 3
of the types of projects which might fall within Class 1. The key consideration is whether the
project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use. Class 1(b) exemptions include the
replacement and repair of existing facilities of both investor and publicly-owned utilities used to
provide electric power, natural gas, sewerage, or other public utility services.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with issuing a Notice Inviting Bids. The adopted budget for
Fiscal Year 2019-20 includes funding for Phase 1 of this project.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that Council take the following action:
1. Authorize staff to advertise and solicit bids from qualified contractors for the Inflow and
Infiltration Reduction Project; and
2. Find that the Project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1(b) of the CEQA
Guidelines and authorize staff to file a Notice of Exemption.

SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE MIGRATION OF THE CITY’S PRIVATE
HOME RENTAL COMPLIANCE SOFTWARE (STR HELPER)
TO THE NEW PARENT COMPANY (HOST COMPLIANCE)
On February 13, 2017, the City Council authorized an agreement with Bear Cloud Software LLC, doing
business as STR Helper, to implement a hosted compliance software solution. STR Helper has been
instrumental in identifying unregistered short term rentals (STRs) and furthering compliance with the
City’s Transient Private Home Rental (TPHR) program.
Two years later, on February 25, 2019, Host Compliance and STR Helper announced the merger of
these two outstanding providers of innovative technology solutions for municipalities. With this merger,
the City’s STR Helper application is now being provided by Host Compliance and with no change to
the software offering or terms of the City’s existing agreement with STR Helper. That agreement expires
next February; as a result, the City has been evaluating the added benefits of the Host Compliance
platform in comparison to other similar compliance software offerings such as LODGINGRevs. As was
presented at the recent League of California Cities gathering, Host Compliance is the industry leader
and currently provides services to more than 300 cities and counties including over 90 local jurisdictions
seeking solutions to STR related challenges.
The implementation of the STR Helper application enhanced our ability to identify unregistered rental
properties. Through the merger with Host Compliance, we now have an opportunity to automate manual
processes and integrate related databases (e.g. business licenses, TPHR registrations, transient
occupancy tax (TOT) collections) on one platform to create a more efficient and comprehensive
enforcement effort.
As an existing STR Helper client, our data is already with Host Compliance and will not require any
charges for migration and implementation. As an existing STR Helper client, Host Compliance is
offering a “legacy customer” discount and a fixed three-year pricing model. Because this is a more
robust service offering, the annual cost is approximately $140,000 more than we are currently paying
to Bear Cloud; however, it is estimated that the additional cost will be offset by the elimination of license
fees for other operating platforms that will be integrated in the Host Compliance service offering as well

as anticipated labor efficiency gains and enhanced compliance capabilities including increased audit
capacity. Beyond the benefits we have identified, owners and agencies would gain an interactive
account management tool which would enable them to monitor account status, identify upcoming
expirations and deadlines, view a summary of pending items, make payments, and access historical
information. This software solution would also offer digital forms for online applications and TOT
reporting which would be systematically matched with online payments.
The adopted budget, is based on the current STR Helper solution which only identifies noncompliant
TPHRs and provides a staffed 24/7 complaint hotline at an annual cost of $27,700. In contrast, the fully
integrated, enhanced service offering through Host Compliance includes Mobile Enabled Permitting
and Registration, Address Identification, Compliance Monitoring, Rental Activity Monitoring and Tax
Collection Support, as well as a live agent 24/7 Dedicated Hotline for neighbors and concerned citizens
to report TPHR problems. The annual cost for this solution is $171,123.
FISCAL IMPACT
The adopted budget for Fiscal Year 2019-20 will require an appropriation from the General Fund
Unassigned Fund Balance of $140,000. The cost for the remaining two years of the proposed three-year
agreement with Host Compliance will be incorporated into the adoption of future annual operating
budgets.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that City Council take the following actions:
1. Authorize an appropriation of $140,000 from the General Fund Unassigned Fund balance; and
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a three-year agreement with Host
Compliance for the short-term rental compliance services described herein.

SUBJECT: ACCEPT AS COMPLETE – MOONRIDGE ROAD
REALIGNMENT AND ROUNDABOUT PROJECT –
ENGINEERING PHASE
The Moonridge Road Realignment and Roundabout Project improves existing street, drainage,
sidewalks, lighting, and landscaping along the Moonridge corridor. The Project adds bicycle lanes,
two (2) traffic calming roundabouts, and pedestrian cross walks along Moonridge Road. On
August 28, 2017, City Council awarded KOA Corporation with a Professional Design Services
Contract to complete the engineering phase of this project. On January 14, 2019, City Council
authorized a change order to the KOA contract to engineer street, bike lane, and pedestrian lighting
that was not included in the original scope of work. The total approved contract amount is
$296,506.56. KOA completed the engineering phase of the project approximately seven percent
(7%) under-budget for $276,553.36.
Throughout the engineering phase of this project, alignment alternatives have been presented and
discussed at several public meetings. Additional public input was solicited at a Capital
Improvements Project Open House in August 2018. Many of the suggestions and comments
received during this Open House were incorporated into the project design. We also met with
Moonridge corridor business owners several times to further refine the design by incorporating
aesthetic elements to create an attractive corridor theme. Generally, these elements include natural
materials, such as stone and weathered timber, for public benches, heavy timber and wrought iron
for lighting, and decorative metal trash and recycling receptacles. A combination of low water
consuming evergreens and colorful plantings complement the aesthetic elements. The constructed
project will create a new retail corridor with businesses catering to outdoor recreation enthusiasts,
that will compliment, not detract from, The Village.
A construction schedule has not yet been determined. The KOA construction cost estimate for this
project is approximately $6,500,000. To date, we have secured $1,500,000 in funding assistance
through the Major Local Highway Program (MLHP) fund. We will continue to research funding
assistance opportunities for this important project. When funding has been secured and
construction is imminent, we will recommend additional design refinements that will be bid as
construction alternatives, such as heated sidewalks and bike lanes, a traffic counting system, and
permanently installed changeable message signs.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2019
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jeff Mathieu, City Manager
REVIEWED BY: John Harris, Director of Development Services
PREPARED BY: Ruth Lorentz, Principal Planner
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION - RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING AN APPLICATION FOR THE SB 2
PLANNING GRANT PROGRAM
On March 28, 2019, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)
issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for a Planning Grant Program, which was itself
authorized in 2017 by the Building Homes and Jobs Act (SB 2, 2017). The purpose of the SB 2
program is to prepare, adopt, and implement plans and process improvements that streamline
housing approvals and accelerate housing production. The program is in its first year and the year
one funding is set aside for planning activities—subsequent years will contain project-level
funding.
Cities with populations of less than 60,000 residents may request between $25,000 and $160,000.
The program is noncompetitive and localities that comply with threshold criteria will be funded.
Threshold criteria includes a compliant Housing Element, submittal of Annual Housing Progress
Reports, documentation of the project’s nexus to accelerating housing production, and
demonstration of the locality’s consistency to State Planning or other Planning Priorities.
The deadline to apply is November 30, 2019. Awards are disbursed as a reimbursement of
qualifying costs. The end of the grant term is June 30, 2022, and projects must be completed by
that date. HCD is working with a private consulting firm—PlaceWorks—to offer technical
assistance, available throughout the entire program grant period.
HCD requires applicants to submit a City Council Resolution authorizing the City to apply and
naming a City designee to sign the application and enter into the Standard Agreement process. A
Resolution is provided in Attachment A. The NOFA is provided in Attachment B.

DISCUSSION
Eligible Project
The City has consulted the SB 2 technical assistance staff to determine what type of projects the
City could undertake that comply with the program’s criteria. Updates to General Plans, specific
plans, and zoning ordinances are considered eligible activities, provided that the activities will
effectively impact housing production. Several activities were identified that would have a
significant positive impact on housing. These are listed and summarized below:
1) Housing Element Update
The grant program allows no more than 50% of the funds to be used for a Housing Element
Update. The 6th Housing Element cycle will run from October 15, 2021 through October
15, 2029, for which the Regional Housing Needs Allocations will be adopted by October
2020. The estimated due date to HCD, for the completed Housing Element is October 15,
2021.
2) Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR)
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) only provides a Categorical Exemption
for residential projects of 4 units or less. This means that any developments of over 4 units
are subject to Environmental Review making it costly and time-consuming to develop
multiple units, which may be a contributing factor as to why multiple-family housing is not
being produced in the City. The PEIR would replace the standard EIR in the pending
General Plan Update in order to analyze the impacts of future residential growth in the City
and eliminate the need for project-specific review. Individual applicants could then claim
coverage under the PEIR, saving time and money.
FISCAL IMPACT
HCD will notify applicants within 60 days after receipt of the grant application. The SB 2 Planning
Grant Program is a reimbursement grant ending on June 30, 2022. The anticipated cost estimate
for the Housing Element Update is $100,000, of which $80,000 will be requested from the grant
program. The completion date for the Housing Element will be prior to October 2021, so this
project will not have a fiscal impact after the costs are reimbursed. The City’s cost estimate for the
Program EIR is $200,000, of which the City will request reimbursement of $80,000 from the grant
program. The total estimated cost for the combined Housing Element, General Plan Update, and
GPU PEIR effort is $550,000. The City’s cost will be $390,000 after reimbursement.

2019 NOTICE OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY SB 2 PLANNING GRANTS PROGRAM
I. Introduction The Department is releasing this Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for approximately $123 million to make funding available to all local governments in California under the Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) Planning Grants Program (PGP). The PGP program is intended for the preparation, adoption, and implementation of plans that streamline housing approvals and accelerate housing production. The PGP is authorized by Health and Safety Code sections 50470 et seq. (Chapter 364, Statutes of 2017, (SB 2)). Funding is subject to the December 2018 Planning Grants Program Guidelines (hereinafter referred to as the “Guidelines”), which includes detailed information on eligibility requirements, conditions, and procedures for awarding funds.
II. Program Summary SB 2 (2017) is part of a 15 bill housing package aimed at addressing the state’s housing shortage and high housing costs. Specifically, SB 2 established a permanent source of revenue intended to increase the affordable housing stock in California. PGP grants are funded through 50 percent of the revenues collected during the first calendar year (January through December, 2018). The PGP program is a one-time component of SB 2 that, among other provisions, provides financial and technical assistance to local governments to update planning documents in order to: • Accelerate housing production; • Streamline the approval of housing development affordable to owner and renter
households at all income levels; • Facilitate housing affordability, particularly for all income groups; • Promote development consistent with the State Planning Priorities; and • Ensure geographic equity in the distribution and expenditure of allocated funds The Department, in conjunction with the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, will provide technical assistance to localities pursuant to the provisions set forth in Article VII, Section 700(a) through (e) of the Guidelines. For further information, contact the Department at [email protected] for details regarding local technical assistance. Please refer to the Guidelines for other administrative provisions not summarized in this NOFA.

Note: All localities must pass the Threshold Criteria as stated in section VIII of this NOFA. To ensure compliance with section VIII, all applicants, including those who are forming partnerships, must submit separate, complete and signed application packages, including resolutions, to the Department in order to be awarded funds.
VI. Eligible Activities Applicants proposing Priority Policy Areas, as defined in section VIII of this NOFA, are automatically deemed to accelerate housing production without any documentation or demonstration to the Department. Pursuant to Article III, Section 300 of the Guidelines, a variety of planning documents, planning activities and strategies, are considered eligible activities and must demonstrate a nexus to accelerating housing production, which may include: (1) Updates to general plans, community plans, specific plans, local planning related to
implementation of sustainable communities strategies, or local coastal plans;
(2) Updates to zoning ordinances;
(3) Environmental analyses that eliminate the need for project-specific review;
(4) Local process improvements that improve and expedite local planning;
(5) A smaller geography with a significant impact on housing production including an overlay district, project level specific plan, or development standards modifications proposed for significant areas of a locality, such as corridors, downtown or priority growth areas;
(6) The creation or enhancement of a housing sustainability district pursuant to AB 73 (Chapter 371, Statutes of 2017);
(7) Workforce housing opportunity zone pursuant to SB 540 (Chapter 369, Statutes of 2017);

Eligible activities may be part of a larger planning effort (e.g., a comprehensive zoning code update) if proposed activities have not been completed prior to the NOFA date, are distinct, and demonstrate a nexus to accelerating housing production. As part of the PGP program, HCD, in coordination with the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), will work with a team led by Placeworks to provide technical assistance (TA) to applicants throughout the application period. The TA team will work closely with regions, sub-regions, and counties to help jurisdictions identify activities and provide tools that will accelerate housing production. For further information, contact the Department at [email protected] for details regarding local technical assistance.
VII. Eligible Uses Pursuant to Article III, Section 302 of the Guidelines, grant funds shall be used for the costs of preparing and adopting the proposed activity. Subcontracting is allowable under conditions set forth in Section 302(c) of the Guidelines. Pursuant to Section 302(b) of the Guidelines, grant funds may not be used for administrative costs of persons employed by the grantee for activities not directly related to the proposed activity. No more than 5 percent of the grant amount may be used for administrative costs for any proposed use, to be approved by the Department upon disbursement. Only approved and eligible costs incurred for work after the NOFA date, continued past the date of the Standard Agreement, and completed during the grant term, will be reimbursable. Approved and eligible costs incurred prior to the NOFA date are ineligible

VIII. Threshold Requirements In accordance with Article II, Section 201 of the Guidelines, all applicants must meet the following threshold requirements: (1) Housing element compliance: The applicant must have a housing element that
has been adopted by the jurisdiction’s governing body by the date the applicant submits the application package, and is subsequently determined to be in substantial compliance with state housing element law pursuant to Gov. Code Section 65585 by the time of award. A jurisdiction’s current housing element compliance status can be obtained by referencing the Department’s website at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/index.shtml or emailing the Department at [email protected]. For more information on housing element requirements, please contact Paul McDougall at [email protected]. Pursuant to Section 201(a)(2) of the Guidelines, applicants not meeting housing element requirements may be considered to meet this threshold requirement at the discretion of the Department on a case by case basis by applying factors such as significant progress in meeting housing element requirements (e.g., a draft found to meet statute, rezoning near completion), proposing activities to meet housing element requirements (e.g., rezoning to accommodate housing needs pursuant to Gov. Code Section 65583(c)(1)) and adoption of a compliant element prior to the award of funds.
(2) Annual Progress Report (APR) on the housing element: The applicant must submit the APR to the Department, as required by Gov. Code section 65400, for the current or prior year by the date the applicant submits the application package.
(3) Nexus to accelerating housing production: The applicant must propose and
document plans or processes that accelerate housing production. The application must demonstrate a significant positive effect on accelerating housing production through timing, cost, approval certainty, entitlement streamlining, feasibility, infrastructure capacity, or impact on housing supply and affordability. An application not utilizing Priority Policy Areas must include an explanation and documentation of the nexus plans or processes impact on accelerating housing production based on a reasonable and verifiable methodology and must utilize the Department’s form (see Attachment 2 in the Application). A verifiable methodology may include a statement of support from a non-profit or for-profit developer that is active in the locality. Applicants proposing Priority Policy Areas do not require a nexus demonstration and are automatically deemed to accelerate housing production without any documentation. Pursuant to Section 102(q) of the Guidelines, Priority Policy Areas means any of the following:
CA HCD Notice of Funding Availability 6 SB 2 Planning Grants NOFA Year-1
(a) Rezone to Permit By-right: Rezoning for significant additional housing capacity
without, or lesser, discretionary review, or establishing zoning to permit residential development by-right, particularly multifamily, without discretionary action pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2(h) and (i).
(b) Objective Design and Development Standards: Developing objective design
standards or pre-approved site and architectural plans that facilitate non-discretionary permitting.
(c) Specific Plans or Form based Codes Coupled with CEQA Streamlining:
Designating and rezoning for additional housing capacity or preparing specific plans or form codes that include zoning and development standards and plan-level environmental analysis that can be used to streamline future housing projects and facilitate affordability.
(d) Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) or Other Low-Cost Building Strategies:
Encouraging ADUs and other low-cost building types through actions above state law such as, outreach, fee waivers, pre-approved plans, website zoning clearance assistance, and other homeowner tools or finance tools. Also, establishing other approaches to intensify existing lower density residential areas and “missing model” typologies to encourage significantly more residential development (e.g., duplexes, triplexes) in lower density residential areas.
(e) Expedited Processing: Speeding up approvals and permit processing,
including instituting programs that streamline or consolidate the review process or create a separate process for expedited review of housing projects.
(f) Housing Related Infrastructure Financing and Fee Reduction Strategies:
Develop and implement approaches to local, regional or sub-regional housing related infrastructure financing. Create plans and programs to finance and increase infrastructure with accompanying enhanced housing capacity, such as enhanced infrastructure financing districts. Fee reduction and rationalization approaches, such as reassessing fees to adhere to best practices in reducing costs, deferrals, sliding scales or proportionate impacts fees (e.g., ADUs, transit oriented, and infill development, special needs housing), or fee transparency measures including publically available fee calculators.
Note: HCD will be rolling out best practice toolkits and technical assistance in these topic areas over the course of 2019. Note: If the applicant is proposing only Priority Policy Areas ((PPA), as defined in section VIII, subsection (3) of the NOFA), do not fill out Attachment 2.
