A. The Mayor and Common Council do hereby find and
9
determine that in the area described in Subsection E, there
is a concentration of multi family residential housing with
an excessively high crime rate including robberies,
shootings, murders, attempted murders, gang activity, and
drug dealings, resulting in a higher than usual demand for
police services, and a high concentration of blight,
resulting in a higher than usual need for code enforcement,
parking control, and other City services related to blight
reduction.
B. In the area described in Subsection E it is hereby
determined that the excessive demand of City services is a
cost that should not be borne by the general tax payers of
the City, but should be the responsibility of those most
directly involved who are responsible for the condition
allowing such circumstances to exist and have the best
opportunity to alleviate the problem.
C. The Mayor and Common Council do hereby further find and
determine that the existence of an effective homeowner's
association tends to mitigate and reduce the existence of

to being closer to the situation and directly involved
with the people who are affected by the adverse affects of
crime and blight, and are the recipients of improvements in
such situations, and due to the fact that those who own or
reside in residential property have a greater incentive to
care for that property and to make it a safe environment in
which to live.
D. Therefore in the area described in Subsection E the
Business License Tax imposed on the operation of rental
properties pursuant to San Bernardino Municipal Code
Section 5.04.525.F shall be increased by the amount of

restrictions, security measures and the right of the
homeowners association, or if such association fails to do
so, of the City, to enforce such conditions by means of
