Merrell-Johnson Companies, acting on behalf of Lovemore Investments LLC, is seeking approval for Tentative Tract Map No. 20443 to subdivide an 18.49-acre parcel in San Bernardino County into 64 single-family residential lots and two lettered lots designated for open space and recreational use. The residential lots will range in size from 0.16 to 0.30 acre, with the lettered lots accounting for 2.75 acres of the overall site dedicated to community amenities. Primary access to the development will be through Hillview Road, utilizing the existing surrounding road network, while five new private internal streets will provide connectivity to the individual lots. The project is being evaluated under a Recirculated Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration to address potential environmental impacts, ensuring compliance with state land use and environmental review requirements. The submission is under the jurisdiction of San Bernardino County, with the project site located in the 92252 ZIP code area, and is being managed by the County’s planning department. Elena Barragan, Principal Planner at San Bernardino County, serves as the primary point of contact for the project, supported by Cheryl Tubbs of Lilburn Corp and Axel Cramer of Lovemore Investments LLC, who is listed as the applicant. The proposal was posted as a forecast on August 4, 2026, with additional details available through the California Environmental Quality Act online portal. The project aims to deliver a residential community with integrated public open spaces, while minimizing environmental disruption through mitigation measures outlined in the recirculated study. The approval process will involve review of land use compatibility, traffic patterns, stormwater management, and infrastructure capacity, with decisions pending final environmental clearances and public input.
