A coalition of local municipalities and governmental agencies and entities and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, as the largest single landowner in the environs of the long-shuttered Norton Air Force Base, are engaging in an overt and concerted effort to promote commercial, industrial and some residential development in a 700-acre expanse north of the aerodrome now known as San Bernardino International Airport. At the same time, local residents, advocates for the financially distressed, environmental activists and organizations and entities and individuals as powerful as the California Attorney General and his office are sounding out opposition to the wholesale conversion of that land to a productivity that will have what they say will be a consequent destructive impact on the currently present residents who will be displaced and those who will remain.
In 1994, the Department of Defense as part of its nationwide military asset and priority conversion program closed down Norton Air Force Base, which was first established as a 900-acre Army Air Corps facility two miles east of downtown San Bernardino and had spent the major duration of its existence mainly as an Air Materiel/Air Force Logistics Command and then as a Military Airlift/Air Mobility Command installation. The U.S. Military’s presence had become a major element of the local economy, representing a substantial infusion of capital into Highland, Redlands, Loma Linda, Grand Terrace, Colton and, of course, San Bernardino. Those six municipal entities entered into discussions about the civilian reconversion of the base property. The San Bernardino International Airport Authority, known by its acronym, SBIAA, dedicated to transforming the base itself into an airport, and the Inland Valley Development Agency, called IVDA, which was intended to redevelop the land around the airport, were formed. After initial activity in which all of the nearby cities and the county were involved in both joint powers authorities, the San Bernardino International Airport Authority was chartered with the County of San Bernardino and the cities of San Bernardino, Colton, Loma Linda, and Highland as participants. The Inland Valley Development Agency was created under the aegis of the County of San Bernardino and the Cities of Colton, Loma Linda, and San Bernardino. Continue reading →

After an interminable 14-year delay in proceeding with its proposed 28-home housing development in Carbon Canyon, Coto de Caza-based Stonefield Development has given up on the project, which was originally approved by the Chino Hills City Council in 2009.
Stonefield, beginning in 2016, had requested and was granted multiple extensions on the undertaking, a subdivision covering 34.73 acres of vacant land northwest of Carbon Canyon Road and east of Fairway Drive, over the years. Previously, Chino Hills officials granted those extension requests and was once again this year set to grant the company another.
Since 2009, the traffic flow on Carbon Canyon Road has increased substantially. Recently, the California Department of Transportation, known by its acronym Caltrans, sought to impose a requirement that the developer do major improvements for the Fairway Drive/Carbon Canyon Road intersection. Among those improvements are either or both the addition of acceleration and deceleration lanes on Carbon Canyon Road and traffic signalization at the intersection. Continue reading →

Making the fifth managerial advancement in his 31-year career, Twentynine Palms City Manager Frank Luckino is leaving San Bernardino County’s 17th most populous municipality to take the administrative helm in the Riverside County city of Desert Hot Springs.
Luckino applied to be considered in the running to succeed Luke Rainey as Desert Hot Springs’ city manager after the latter resigned abruptly in February. He was one of 29 competing for the job.
The field of 29 was reduced to around a half dozen by late August and Luckino was one of at least six candidates interviewed in early September. He was brought in for a second and final interview late in September.
The Desert Hot Springs City Council ultimately determined that Luckino’s considerable experience in managing cities and agencies in the desert has rendered him better qualified than those he was competing against, including some very experienced and accomplished municipal professionals, to take the reins in the 33,132-population city. The Desert Hot Springs City Council in a specially-called closed session on October 3 voted to hire Luckino.
His move to Desert Hot Springs from Twentynine Palms, where the population currently stands at 27,491, represents a modest move for Luckino up the municipal evolutionary chain. Continue reading →

Pete Renteria, who killed his grandparents and an uncle during what is believed to have been a psychotic episode in January, was taken into custody on Saturday, September 30 following his murder of another man.
At the time Renteria was captured, authorities did not know who he was or of his connection to the January slaughter of his relatives.
On January 30, 2023, one of the residents of a home located at 4804 Ramona Place, a usually quiet cul-de-sac in the unincorporated San Bernardino County area known as the West End situated north of Chino, south of Montclair, west of Ontario and east of Pomona and the Los Angeles County line, came into the domicile just after 9 p.m. There he found the lifeless bodies of three other residents of the home, Sonia C. Ramirez, 68; her husband, George M. Ramirez, 72; and their son, David Ramirez, also known as David Renteria, 43. The three had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
Deputies with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department were summoned to the 1,350-square foot, two-story three-bedroom home at 9:09 p.m. Deputies working out of the Chino Hills Sheriff’s Station, which is roughly 6.4 miles from the home, were dispatched to the scene, arriving there after a driving time of about 11 minutes.
During the initial investigation, nearby residents said they heard what they thought were fireworks going off earlier in the evening. Continue reading →
