CITY OF SAN BER~ '.RDINO - REQUEST "'4')R COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Page 1 of 2
Concern has been expressed about the absence of a
complete system of public works infrastructure improvements in
the Verdemont Area. In response to that concern, a Verdemont
Area Public Works Financing Plan has been developed to raise the
revenue to finance the installation of public works improvements
on the existing streets. This approach would allow the improve-
ments to be installed at this time, before the area is fully
developed.
Improvements will be installed as depicted on the map
included in the Financing Plan. The improvements include full
width paving (on the established grade), curbs and gutters,
sidewalk, street lights, water mains, sewer mains, and possibly
landscaping. These improvements would basically be constructed
on the existing quarter mile grid streets. Construction of these
improvements will necessarily be done in phases, as funds and
staff are available.

Members of the City Council
City of San Bernardino
Dear Honorable Members of the City Council:
We have an approved Conditional Use Permit number 89-4 for the
development of a Mobile Home Park on Kendall Road at Pine.
The approval was based upon, among other things, a review of the.
impact this development would have on city services, infrastructures,
and related items. After having made this review, the city approved
the development with the imposition of certain conditions. These
conditions included reducing the density by nearly 50%, increasing the
open space requirements, improving and widening of Kendall Road with
street lights, sidewalks, landscaping, traffic signalization and
imposition of a wind requirement that all structures withstand 110 mph
winds. Additionally, adjacent property was donated to the city to be'
used as a public park.
We feel that this project should

Inclusion of this project would be in direct conflict with your
findings and the approvals you have previously made. This project is
not within the specific area of your concern but was included only
because of the road definition which should be changed.
This project is designed to provide affordable housing. All interior
roads, sewers, water system and other utilities are privately owned
and maintained by the mobile home park, not the city. The added
conditions have already increased the cost of the project and further
additional charges or assessments would destroy the affordability of
the project.
Based on the approval previously given by the council, we have
incurred a great deal of costs in developing engineering plans, which
are nearly complete. National Prebuilt Homes located in San
Bernardino, has been retained by us as the manufacturer of the homes
to be built in accordance with the conditions imposed by the city.
They have engineered and scheduled their production in anticipation of
this project. To delay or defeat this project would severely impact
this company and their employees.
In summary, we are in the midst of a development which has been

a moratorium and added costs would defeat the affordability of the
