Multiple Residential (1,500 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit)on the north side
of Orange Avenue 300 feet east of Kansas Street. Request submitted by MARK
UTZINGER. (Project Planner: Asher Hartel)
Project Planner Asher Hartel gave a brief PowerPoint presentation on the proposed project. Mr.
Hartel stated that Arrowhead Christian Academy, which is located east of the proposed project,
indicated they have concerns about the project due to the impact of their school activities on a
senior housing project. Mr. Hartel stated staff is seeking direction from the Commission on the
"floating neighborhood park" designation that has been placed on the site.
Mr. Hartel stated staff recommends approval of the building elevations,exterior finishes , balconies
and patios, subject to revision as required by the Planning Commission (Condition of Approval 31).
Mr. Hartel stated the landscape plan is conceptual,and staff required review and approval of a more
detailed landscape plan. Mr. Hartel stated there is an issue with the type and height of the trees
proposed along the northerly and easterly boundary adjacent to Arrowhead Christian Academy.
Mr. Hartel stated the proposed project will be heard by the Park Commission on Thursday,January
13th. Mr. Hartel stated he received 110 additional letters of support.
Commissioner Laymon asked Mr. Hartel if the proposed project will meet the requirements for
moderate income housing. Assistant Director stated that senior housing are considered to be low
income housing.
Commissioner Macdonald stated he is confused that staff is recommending approval of the
proposed project, because there seem to be many issues that need to be addressed. Mr. Shaw
stated staff felt they were details that could be handled under an addenda process and staff is
comfortable with the site plan, elevations, and landscaping, however there is some refinement
needed.
Mr. Shaw stated there are some major policy issues that will need to be worked out. Mr.Shaw stated
the Commission can continue the proposed project to resolve the issues. Commissioner Macdonald
asked Mr. Shaw how a five (5) foot tall sound barrier can be proposed on a balcony. Mr. Hartel
stated it was an issue that would have to be resolved.
Commissioner Macdonald questioned whether the project should be redesigned. Mr. Hartel stated
Planning Commission Minutes of
January 11, 2005
Page 3
the revisions could be brought back to the Commission as part of the revised architectural
elevations.
Commissioner Laymon stated it would have been helpful to have the Parks Commission report prior
to review by the Planning Commission.
Chairman Webber asked if the floating park designation could be moved to another site. Mr. Shaw
stated it could moved as the designation is not site specific. Mr. Shaw stated if the City determines it
is an appropriate location for a park site, staff might be required to move forward with the initiation
process for a park.
Commissioner Miller stated the proposed complex is an active senior facility and he is concerned
that there are many seniors who still drive and there may be a high demand for parking.
Commissioner Miller asked Mr. Hartel if this issue was considered when the project was evaluated
by staff. Mr. Hartel stated the reduction to 80 parking spaces was part of the Bonus Density
Agreement that was approved by the City Council. Mr. Shaw stated the proposed project was
compared with existing senior housing projects such as Casa De La Vista and Fern Lodge. Mr.
Shaw stated the applicant might be able to expand further on this issue. With reference to the
sound barrier, Commissioner Miller stated typically a glass barrier is used. Commissioner Miller
asked if anyone has checked on previous developments to see how well the glass barriers have
worked.
Mr. Hartel stated he was not aware of any field tests or results of the glass barriers, however there is
a Condition of Approval for the proposed project that requires the noise barrier be evaluated by an
acoustical engineer.
Chairman Webber opened the public hearing.
Mr. Mark Utzinger, applicant,stated a lot of comprehensive and conscientious planning and design
has gone into the proposed project including neighborhood, community, and senior input. Mr.
Utzinger noted there are two components to qualification for HUD programs, the applicant has to
qualify and the project has to qualify. Mr. Utzinger stated his project's parking is consistent with the
ratios of existing senior projects. Mr. Utzinger stated the project will provide a wheelchair access
shuttle service. Mr. Utizinger stated his intent is to provide the tenants with access into the city
without having to drive.
Mr. Utzinger noted some amenities provided by his project such as washers and dryers in the units,
a pharmacy substation in the clubhouse, and wheelchair access bathrooms and showers.
Commissioner Miller asked Mr. Utizinger how he would determine which units have parking, since
there are 160 units and 80 parking spaces. Mr. Utzinger stated most of the interested parties they
have interviewed indicated that do not have automobiles.
Commissioner Macdonald asked Mr. Utzinger how he proposes to meet the balcony requirements.
Mr. Utzinger stated they propose to have plexiglass on a portion of the balcony,which will be tested.
Chairman Webber stated the matter would return to the Commission for review.
Mr. Craig Wilson, representing the Board of Arrowhead Christian Academy, stated there are the
Planning Commission Minutes of
January 11, 2005
Page 4
competing uses of the school versus the retirement community. Mr. Wilson stated the games,
students, nighttime football games, lighting, and morning practices will create a nuisance to the
retirement community and will impact the police department and other city departments who respond
to these issues. Mr. Wilson stated he did not believe the balcony would adequately address the
noise issues. Mr. Wilson stated if the Commission should decide to proceed with the proposed
project, the Parks Commission power would be usurped.
Ms. Tricia Higgins, 105 Tennessee Street, Arrowhead Christian Academy Operations Manager,
stated for the past seven years she has received complaints on the noise from the school's general
activities and lights only. Ms. Higgins expressed concern that approval of the zone change will not
enhance the relationship between ACA and seniors,and may cause a hostile relationship with those
residents who live next to the field.
Mr. Ron Burgess, 245 Alvarado, Arrowhead Christian Academy Board Chairman, stated ACA
adjoins the proposed project on two sides. Mr. Burgess stated they strongly support senior housing
however they feel a change in the use of the property will be incompatible with daily student
activities. Mr. Burgess stated the sports field is used daily for sports activities and other uses and the
field lights can be kept on as late as 11 p.m. Mr. Burgess stated new units have been built south of
the school and he is concerned of the impact of an additional 160 units.
Commissioner Osborne asked Mr. Burgess what type of night activities occur at ACA other than
football and concerts. Mr. Burgess stated they may potentially add baseball in the evenings.
Ms. Sandy Carnes, 28311 Saffron Avenue, current President of ACAF(parent organization)stated
the proposed complex could be impacted bythe stray baseballs,soccer balls,and footballs because
of its close proximity to the sports fields. Ms. Carnes stated existing traffic issues would be
increased with the additional 160 units.
Mr. Steve Hickock, 105 Tennessee Street, Arrowhead Christian Academy Administrator, thanked
the Commission for the many hours it dedicates to thoughtful planning and development of the
community. Mr. Hickock stated the school has received complaints on noise from the apartments
across the street on Orange Avenue. Mr. Hickock stated that granting of the proposed variance will
create a hostile environment, place an additional burden on the city's police resources, and will
establish a confrontational climate for any further development of their facility. Mr. Hickock asked the
Commission to the deny the proposed project.
Ms. Sherli Leonard, 31534 Highview Drive, representing the Redlands Conservancy, stated every
time a park designation is removed, a "gem" in the emerald necklace is removed.
Ms. Brenda Durant, 109 Sandridge Way, read a letter from Ms. Carol Montay stating her opposition
to the proposed project.
Mr. Mark Sandoval, 111 N. 5th Street, stated it is a great project for the wrong property. Mr.
Sandoval offered to buy the property for industrial use, and stated it could developed with light
industrial buildings.
Ms. Mary Ann Bratton, 79 Orangewood Court, stated many senior citizens support the school. Ms.
Bratton stated every person she has spoken with in her area has been supportive of having a senior

Page 5
development close to the school. Ms. Bratton stated housing for senior citizens is needed in our
community and she voiced her support of the project. Ms. Bratton stated that senior citizens want to
be a part of the community and they want to support the school and its activities.
Ms. Linda Aldaco, 95 Tennessee Street, stated when ACA moved in, they turned on bright lights
which were left on all night long and they let the buses run at 1:00 a.m. Ms. Aldaco stated she has
had to call the police a number of times because of the noise and reflection of lights. Ms. Aldaco
stated she believes that seniors would be a great asset to the area.
Alisa Meehan, 914 Tennessee Street, President of the Marbrisa Condo Association,stated she has
never had a problem with the school noise. Ms. Meehan stated she has never had a problem with
parking and she would prefer to see a residential project in the area rather than a trucking company
or industrial project.
Ms. Bernie Lombard, 1327 Arlene Street, stated they make it sound as if the seniors are dead or
dying; seniors are very much alive; they go to ballrooms at the Joslyn Senior Center and have
dances. Ms. Lombard stated, "Stop discriminating against the seniors and give them their time to
talk."
Harry J. O'Connor III, AARP, thanked Chairman Webber for his perceptiveness, stating no matter
what is built on the property, it will not be conducive to the needs and wants of the school. Mr.
O'Connor stated that ACA has tried to buy the property for years. Mr. O'Connor stated there is a
tremendous need for this type of project.
Mr. Bob Roberts, stated he had an opportunity to speak with project engineer and was told that the
developer would have an agreement with the tenants which should address the concerns that have
been expressed.
Ms. (unintelligible) stated when she has had to call the school to complain, it has been due to
behavior or noise taking place at an unreasonable time.
Chairman Webber offered Mr. Utzinger an opportunity for rebuttal.
Mr. Utzinger stated three acoustic studies were conducted and the third study determined that there
was 50% less noise than other projects in the City. Mr. Utzinger stated the school is a selling point
for potential tenants. Mr. Utzinger stated the consent agreement acknowledges that the school has
uses that will be noisy and will have to be signed off by each tenant. Mr. Utzinger stated the consent
agreement gives away the right to complain.
Commissioner Laymon asked if the agreement would include future escalation of the property, i.e.,a
stadium. Mr. Utzinger stated it would, as long as the school continues to operate under its current
usage.
Commissioner Miller asked Mr. Utzinger if he would be willing to consider a significant redesign of
his project. Commissioner Miller suggested the driveway be placed as a buffer between the school
and housing,with the units back to back which could further mitigate some of the issues raised. Mr.
Utzinger stated they met with ACA and proposed the same concepts which were not warmly
received. Mr. Utzinger stated they received input from neighbors,seniors,and award winning senior
designers and have received support for the plan as proposed. Mr. Utzinger stated the noise issue
has been addressed and the consent agreement relieves the school of the liability they are worried

about. Mr. Utzinger stated that senior housing in Redlands is woefully inadequate,with up to a two
year waiting list for senior housing. Mr. Utzinger stated the surrounding neighbors are passionately
opposed to commercial development on the proposed site. Mr. Utzinger stated he received
endorsement letters from Redlands Classics(39 homes), Marbrisa Villas (38 homes),Arroyo Vista
Apartments (66 units), and Smiley Neighborhood Association (90 homes).
Commissioner Cook asked Mr. Utzinger how he would address the stray softballs and baseballs.
Mr. Utzinger stated he would be happy to put up nets.
Chairman Webber closed the public hearing.
Chairman Webber asked for a discussion on the noise issue beginning with Commissioner Miller's
redesign suggestion. Chairman Webber stated he likes the project as proposed.
Commissioner Miller stated the noise issue warrants looking at a design alternative. Commissioner
Miller stated if the driveway was relocated to the east boundary, the development would have
internal circulation without having to cross a parking lot and there was be an additional buffer of
seventy(70)feet for the parking area.
Chairman Webber stated he felt the project as proposed "all fits together."
Commissioner Thompson stated moving the building would not make much difference as far the
noise issue, and he suggested the windows on the second story be double paned. Commissioner
Thompson stated the maximum number of home games during the year would be 7, and the
number of practice hours are governed bythe CIF.Commissioner Thompson stated 160 residences
is a considerable resource to the school.
Commissioner Laymon stated she likes the project, however there could be a problem unless there
is an agreement in place. Commissioner Laymon stated she is concerned about the number of
parking spaces proposed for the project.
Assistant Director John Jaquess stated the agreement would be between the project owner and the
tenant and should address the City's concerns. Mr.Jaquess stated the project could be conditioned
to include the agreement. Mr. Jaquess stated that staff evaluated the parking and determined that
the demand will be less than a residential project.
Commissioner Macdonald concurred with Commissioner Millerthat a redesign could greatly improve
the situation. Commissioner Macdonald stated the need for an agreement acknowledges that there
is a problem.
Commissioner Osborne stated he felt it was pretty late to ask the applicant to redesign the project.
Commissioner Osborne stated the seniors who would move into this project would probably not be
opposed to school activities adjacent to their residences. Commissioner Osborne stated he is
comfortable with the agreement.
Commissioner Laymon asked for comments from ACA relative to some of the items that have been
discussed.
Chairman Webber stated he felt the noise issue has been addressed.

Commissioner Cook stated she lives across the street from an elementary school and she has not
been bothered by the noise.
There was no consensus from the Commission for a redesign of the project.
Chairman Webber stated he liked the openness of the central area and he did not see a need for
additional covered parking.
Chairman Webber stated the balcony sound barrier issue will come back to the Commission in
addition to the double pane windows for the units on the second floor.
Commissioner Miller stated there has to be a noise barrier of some type on the housing units which
is one of his motivations for a redesign.
Chairman Webber asked if the Commission would like to hear from the Parks Commission before
making a decision on the proposed project. Commissioners Macdonald, Miller,Thompson, Laymon,
Cook stated they would. Commissioner Osborne stated he would not because the floating park
designation can be shifted to a more desirable area. Chairman Webber stated there was a
consensus from the Commission to table the proposed project until it can be heard by the Park
Commission.
Commissioner Miller asked if the applicant should be given some input from the Commission relative
to the landscaping and architecture.
Commissioner Miller stated the architecture is a California Mission style which is massive.
Commissioner Miller commented that the window surrounds are very nice. Commissioner Miller
noted if the units are "doubled up", the number of elevators could be reduced.
Commissioner Osborne asked why the project is being continued to await the input from the Parks
Commission if the Planning Commission is not the final acting body. Commissioner Thompson
stated the Parks Commission deserves the courtesy of giving the Commission their opinion.
MOTION
It was moved by Commissioner Miller, seconded by Commissioner Thompson,and carried on a 7-0
