After a four-hour 37-minute and 45-second public hearing, the San Bernardino County Planning Commission yesterday declined to endorse a proposal by Alan Greenberg and Jason Landver to develop a 106-room resort hotel to be located on 24.4 acres off Amboy Road not too distant from Gammell Road in Wonder Valley.
Landver and Greenberg had sought a conditional use permit, policy land use amendment and zone change to construct a 106-room hotel, to include an all-night restaurant, spa/wellness center, conference hall and event center, a 6,000-square foot swimming pool, hot tubs, outdoor showers, a 180,000-gallon water tank and a 205-space parking lot on what would roughly total 12 acres within a 21.22-acre parcel and an adjoining 3.18 parcel located at 78201 Amboy Road, not too distant from the southwest corner of Amboy Road and Gammel Road. Those 24.4 acres lie within 223 acres Landver and Greenberg have acquired entailing the site and the land surrounding it.
Representing Landver and Greenberg was a team of consultants, led by the politically well-connected David Mlynarski, a former planning issue staff member with the cities of Fontana and Palmdale and a member of the American Planning Association, the Baldy View Chapter of the Building Industry Association, of which he is currently an executive committee member, the Inland Empire Economic Recovery Corporation, of which he is also the chief financial officer, and the National Association of Home Builders. Landver and Greenberg had turned to Mlynarski, who has a track record of positively influencing city councils, planning commissions and all order of governmental land use and planning officials in favor of the developer clients he represents, because they believed he would be able to work his magic on County Planning Commission Chairman Jonathan Weldy, who is himself a licensed contractor and developer as the president of the Meridian Land Development Company.

(March 23) Eight months after Assemblywoman Eloise Gómez Reyes pulled the plug on legislation she previously sponsored that was intended to insulate homeowners and their families from the harmful effects of the proliferation of warehouses and their encroachment into residential neighborhoods because of opposition, she has reintroduced that bill in a slightly altered form.
Assembly Bill 2840, which was authored by Gómez Reyes (Democrat-47th District) was not considered in last year’s legislative session because of what those opposed to it said were uneven elements in its makeup.
At the time Gómez Reyes withdrew the bill in July, she said she had elected to withhold it because of “concerns around maintaining the integrity of the bill after committee-proposed amendments.”
Gómez Reyes, who is the Assembly majority leader, introduced AB 2840 in March 2022. If it had passed in its original form, it would have required local governments, when approving new logistics projects of 100,000 square feet or more, to impose a 1,000-foot buffer between those projects and homes, schools, health care centers, playgrounds and other places especially at risk from air pollution blamed on warehouse-bound diesel trucks.
AB 2840 would also have required a “skilled and trained workforce,” as defined by the state Public Contract Code, to build warehouses. The bill also called for “local residents” to be entitled to a set percentage of jobs once the warehouse opens.
The California Chamber of Commerce and the Fontana Chamber of Commerce opposed the bill.
AB 284 “exacerbates California’s existing supply chain problems,” Adam Regele, CalChamber senior policy advocate, said publicly.
The bill ignored “California’s robust environmental laws and regulations which already redress and fully mitigate all significant impacts from warehouse development,” Regele said. California and Southern California in particular, Regele insisted, “need more warehouses to spur the economy and alleviate critical supply chain issues. Supply and distribution chains across California are a matter of vital statewide importance.”
This month, saying “Warehouse growth in the Inland Empire and beyond shows no signs of slowing,” Gómez Reyes introduced AB 1000, which she dubbed “the Good Neighbor Policy.”
She said the law AB 1000 will create if passed, “addresses the planning and construction of new logistics centers across California. The bill would permit local governments to approve construction of large warehouses and logistics centers of over 100,000 square feet when they are 1,000 feet from sensitive receptors such as schools, homes and daycares. Local governments would also be able to approve construction of these facilities as close as 750 feet from a sensitive receptor when specific mitigation measures are followed to reduce negative community impacts.”
According to Gómez Reyes, “The development of industrial facilities should not come at the detriment of the health, wellness and quality of life of the community. AB 1000 proposes a fair approach that will not only protect communities, but also offer a chance for a project to show its commitment to being a good neighbor. The status quo is not working for many of our most vulnerable residents and we must find a better way to manage these large projects in order to move California forward.”
Under AB 1000, mitigation measures that would allow a project to be within 750 feet of a project include standards related to zero-emission energy, zero-emission vehicles, transportation infrastructure and operation requirements such as a commitment to reducing truck idling in adjacent neighborhoods.
Because of its placement on the route between the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and the rest of the country, which includes the 10 Freeway and the 215 Freeway as well as rail lines, the Inland Empire has seen a boom in the construction of warehouses, distribution centers and other logistics-related facilities over the past 16 years.
Gómez Reyes’ district includes Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace, Fontana, Muscoy, Rialto and part of San Bernardino.
There are 3,027 warehouses in San Bernardino County. In Ontario alone, there are 289 warehouses larger than 100,000 square feet. Reportedly, there are 142 warehouses in Fontana larger than 100,000 square feet.
Fontana has been so aggressive in building warehouses over the last dozen years that the city’s mayor, Acquanetta Warren, is known by those who both oppose and favor warehouse development as “Warehouse Warren.” In 2021 year, California Attorney General Rob Bonta sued Fontana over its affinity for warehouses, forcing the city into a settlement that calls for far greater regulation of the construction of logistics facilities in the city of 208,393.
In Chino there are 118 warehouses larger than 100,000 square feet, 109 larger than 100,000 square feet in Rancho Cucamonga and 75 larger than 100,000 square feet in San Bernardino. Since 2015, 26 warehouse project applications have been processed and approved by the City of San Bernardino, entailing acreage under roof of 9,598,255 square feet, or more than one-third of a square mile, translating into 220.34 acres.
After Ontario, Fontana, Chino, Rancho Cucamonga and San Bernardino, the city in San Bernardino County with the next largest number of warehouses of more than 100,000 square feet is Redlands, with 56, followed by Rialto with 47.
Increasingly, some elected officials, local residents and futurists are questioning whether warehouses constitute the highest and best use of the property available for development in the region. The glut of logistics facilities in the Inland Empire has some thinking their numbers are out of balance. In refuting the assertions of the proponents of warehouses that they constitute positive economic development, their detractors cite the relatively poor pay and benefits provided to those who work in distribution facilities, the large diesel-powered semi-trucks that are part of those operations with their unhealthy exhaust emissions, together with the bane of traffic gridlock they create.
Gómez Reyes, while acknowledging the logistics industry represents limited economic benefits to the region, maintains intensified warehouse construction carries with it environmental hazards that bring those benefits into question.
AB 2840 was supported by environmental groups and environmental justice organizations, including residents of Fontana who did not want more logistics centers built in their community. Nevertheless, the bill ran head on into stiff opposition from economic development advocates. Indicating last July that she believed legislative discretion was called for at that time, Gómez Reyes said last summer, “I made the difficult decision to hold AB 2840 in the Senate Governance and Finance Committee.” Saying the 1,000-foot buffer between 100,000-square feet-or-larger warehouses and sensitive receptors was a common sense approach, and that she had tailored AB 2840 specifically to Riverside and San Bernardino counties, she said that the prospect that opponents of the bill would succeed in keeping from passing convinced her to “look at other opportunities to address the issue of warehousing next to sensitive receptors such as schools and homes in future legislative sessions.”
AB 1000 represents her fulfillment of that commitment.
Others, such as Fontana Chamber of Commerce President Phil Cothran, feel legislation aimed at warehouses will harm the prospect for generating more jobs locally in terms of construction, supply chain management, logistics, development and the transportation industries tied into distribution centers.
“Our area has worked hard for decades, if not centuries, to assure that Inland Southern California can produce jobs and grow businesses by supporting goods movement through rail, truck and trailer transport, the ports, and education programs that build a workforce,” Cothran wrote in a letter he sent to Reyes last year. “AB 2840 strips all local governments across California of their zoning and land use authority, ignores California’s robust environmental laws and regulations applicable to this type of development and exacerbates existing supply chain problems and rising inflation plaguing California by making it harder and more expensive to develop these types of projects.”
Cothran asserted that existing laws and regulations “already require qualifying logistics-use projects and warehouses to comply with a long list of local, state and federal environmental laws” and that AB 2840 “would stop job creation and limit our local commitment to provide for a good quality of life for all.” He said, “[E]xisting law already forces new projects or the expansion of an existing facility to undergo the most rigorous environmental analysis and mitigation measures in the country.”
In stating she would yet pursue comprehensive regulation pertaining to warehouse development, Gómez Reyes said she believed Cothran was overstating his case. She suggested there are yet gaps in the environmental regulations applied to warehouses.
“I want to be clear that my intention has never been to stop development,” she said. “We did not move forward despite an offer to put in place a moratorium on warehouse development in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties for a full year. I decided not to accept this proposed amendment of a one-year moratorium because I am looking for true solutions for those most harmed. I know we can find that solution and ensure our families in the Inland Empire are protected.”

An era in San Bernardino County governance will close out next month with the departure of Lonnie Granlund as a board member with the Yucaipa Valley Water District.
Granlund has been a director with the district since December 2008.
Granlund’s presence on the board extended for more than a decade the political reach of the Granlund family in the Redlands-Mentone-Yucaipa neck of the San Bernardino County woods.
Lonnie Granlund is the ex-wife of Brett Granlund, who served as a Yucaipa councilman before being elected to the California Assembly in 1994. Brett Granlund remained as an assemblyman until 2000.
Thereafter, he was a principle in Platinum Advisors, a government relations and lobbying firm in Sacramento that had as its clients many movers and shakers in San Bernardino County. In addition, Platinum Advisors represented San Bernardino County’s governmental structure in Sacramento.
The late Bruce Granlund, Brett Granlund’s brother, was also a member of the board of directors of the Yucaipa Valley Water District. Bruce Granlund and Lonnie Granlund served on the board simultaneously. In fact, From December 2012 until December 2014 and from December 2014 until December 2016, first Bruce Granlund and then Lonnie Granlund were consecutive presidents of the Yucaipa Valley Water District Board of Directors.
The Community of Yucaipa, as much or more than virtually every other city or political sub-entity in San Bernardino County, is prone to familial political dynasties.
After Chris Mann resigned his position as a member of the Yucaipa Valley Water District Board of Directors, the board chose to replace him with Greg Bogh, who in December left the Yucaipa City Council after serving on that body for three terms. Welcoming him onto the board was his brother, Board Member Jay Bogh. In addition, Greg Bogh’s wife, Rosilicie, served on the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School Board and is now a California assemblywoman. Greg Bogh’s cousin, Russ, was formerly in the California Assembly. Another cousin, Michael Bogh, has been bitten by the political bug, having vied unsuccessfully for the Highland City Council.
Lonnie Granlund submitted a letter of resignation to her colleagues on the board of directors earlier this month, advising them that they should move ahead with finding a replacement for her at the end of April, when her resignation becomes effective.
“After much thought and much consideration, I have decided to step down from my position on the board after over 14 years of service to the community,” she wrote.
Granlund’s departure does potentially create the possibility of some expense for the district down the road, although not necessarily.
Governing boards of public entities must be composed of a majority of elected office holders. As the Yucaipa Valley Water District Board of Directors intends and most likely will appoint someone to replace Lonnie Granlund, at that point two of the board’s three members will have been appointed, in that Greg Bogh was appointed to replace Chris Mann.
If there were to be a departure of any of the three remaining elected members of the board – Nyles O’Harra, Jay Bogh or Joyce McIntire – that board member could not be replaced by appointment, and a special election, costing the district well in excess of $100,000, would have to be held.
Granlund lives in the district Division 4. The district is now soliciting applicants who live within Division 4 for consideration as her replacement. Those wishing to apply need to do so by April 26. Once those applicants are determined to be qualified by the demonstration that they are registered to vote and live within the boundaries of Division 4, interviews of all candidates will be conducted on May 1 at which time the board is expected to make a selection.

(Narch 23) Redlands city officials have begun their migration out of the current City Hall within the Redlands Civic Center at 35 Cajon Street to what is to become City Hall over the next two to three generations.
Construction of the 92,000-square-foot, six story building began in 1980 and opened in 1981 as the corporate headquarters for Redlands Federal Savings and Loan. More recently it has become known as the Citibank building and has been redubbed the Citrus Center Building.
For some time, Redlands officials have been contemplating a move out of the current City Hall. In 2008, the Redlands Safety Hall which was built in 1963 and consisted of the city council chambers that were in use until 1994, the police department and the city jail, was shuttered because of concerns about seismic stability and structural flaws, including the presence of asbestos.
Since constructing a new City Hall which would contain a police and fire department headquarters as well as offices for all city departments would likely cost upwards of $30 million, the city in late 2020 made an offer to ESRI, which had acquired the Citibank building, to purchase that edifice, located on the south side of East State Street, between Seventh Street and Eighth Street.
Reportedly, that offer was $15 million, less than half of what city officials would have to pay in architectural, engineering and construction costs alone in building new municipal quarters. ESRI made a counteroffer of $16 million and in June 2021, the city closed a deal with ESRI to purchase the bank building.
While some city residents were opposed to the purchase and conversion, city officials saw multiple advantages to establishing City Hall in the highly visible Redlands Federal Savings and Loan building. It is large enough to contain all of the city’s departments in one place, with room to spare for future growth in those offices. The building itself is also eminently identifiable, as the tallest structure in the city.
Officials believe that for less than $2.5 million, the interior of the building can be adapted to the city’s departments and their varying needs. The council chambers will be located, most likely, on the third floor. By late 2024 and certainly no later than 2025, all of the city’s departments and offices will be relocated into the building.
Renovations and tenant improvements to the fifth and sixth floors have been ongoing for more than 18 months.
This week, City Manager Charles Dugan, Assistant City Manager Chris Boatman, Communications Manager Carl Baker and City Attorney Yvette Abich Garcia began functioning out of the sixth floor of the Citibank Building.

Ontario (March 23, 2023) – The musicians of the Ontario Chaffey Community Show Band and the Chaffey Adult School are proud to present “A Salute to James Bond” on Monday April 24, 2023 at 7:30 p.m. in Merton E. Hill Auditorium located on the campus of Chaffey High School on the Southwest corner of N. Euclid Ave. and Fifth Street in Ontario. Early concert goers are invited to arrive at 7:00 p.m. to be entertained by the “Woodwind Celebration” ensemble in the lobby while enjoying complimentary coffee and cookies. The performance is free to the public.
The April concert features a repertoire of theme songs from James Bond movies that span the course of more than a half century. James Bond was born from the imagination of British author Ian Fleming, who was best known for his series of Bond spy novels. He drew from his wartime service and his career as a journalist for much of the background, detail, and depth of his stories about his super spy.
The concert program will include theme songs from the first Bond film, Dr. No produced in 1962, to the 2012 movie Skyfall. Show Band soloists include dancer Kathy Soderlund who will perform in “From Russia With Love” and “Diamonds are Forever.” David Grasmick will play a piccolo trumpet solo on “You Only Live Twice.” Natasha Le will sing “Nobody Does It Better” from The Spy Who Loved Me. Saxophonist Francisco Mowatt will be featured on “A View To A Kill.” Assistant Director Pat Arnold will perform a tenor saxophone solo on “You Know My Name” from Casino Royale. The outstanding musicians of the Show Band will highlight the evening with their performances of “The James Bond Theme,”
“Goldfinger,” “Live and Let Die,” “For Your Eyes Only,” “License to Kill,” “The World Is Not Enough,” and “Skyfall.”
The performance will be narrated by Todd Haag, Principal of the Chaffey Adult School, and retired Chaffey District teacher Debbie Haag.
Please be sure to join us for this exciting evening of Bond hits and do not forget to invite your family and friends! You can also support the Show Band by visiting and feeding our Hungry Tuba located in the lobby of the auditorium. The concert will be broadcast on local Ontario cable Channel 3. Check your cable listings for the date and time.
The Ontario Chaffey Community Show Band was founded in 1985 by R. Jack Mercer and is now under the direction of Dr. Gabe Petrocelli and assistant directors David Schaafsma and Pat Arnold. Band members represent at least two dozen communities throughout Southern California. Adult musicians and students are invited to participate. Rehearsals are held on Monday evenings from 7 to 9:00 p.m. at the Chaffey High School Jack Mercer Band Room. The band performs monthly concerts on the campus of Chaffey High School as well as at other venues throughout the community. All performances are free to the public.
