G COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
As considered by the City Council at a .regular meeting thereof held
October 19, 1965 at 3 :00 P.M.
Present : All Council Members , Attorney Carl Davis
1 . Conditional Use Permit No . 103 - E. J . Zeiner Continuation
Consideration of C.U.P. No. 103 was tabled to this date from
the Council meeting of October 5, 1965, in order to allow time
for a report from the County Flood Control District .
At this time, Director of Public Works Shone described on an
aerial map of the city, the proposed alignment for the perma-
nent drainage channel for the Zanja . This will run on an
easement -- sometimes 50 feet and sometimes 60 feet - just north
of the railroad. This location is recommended as being the
most economical place for a permanent cement drainage channel .
On this map, Mr. Shone also outlined a recommended easement
pletion of the permanent channel would be between three and to
years .
Sterling Cox
Attorney Rex Cranmer, Mr. Zeiner, Mr. daek-Ge* and Mr. James
Hicks addressed the Council concerning the desirability of
cleaning out the Zanja. Mr. Zeiner stated that he had li-
censes to permit his cleaning those sections of the Zanja whit
he or Mr. Cox did not own, and that he intended to do this.
Attorney Davis pointed out the City ' s liability in making in-
adequate solutions to problems on private property, and stated
that a municipality assumes duty much higher than any indivi-
dual would assume in a similar situation.
Attorney Davis also pointed out to Mr. Zeiner the possibility
of Mr. Zeiner ' s incurring liability by this development from
nearby property owners or from his own tenants, and he con-
curred and assumed the responsibility therefor.
Following Council discussion, Councilman Wagner made the fol-
lowing motion: "Move to approve C.U.P. No. 103 subject to the
following Engineering Department requirements :
1 . Judson Street :
a. Dedicate right-of-way to provide for 88-foot
street .
b. Install curb and gutter 32 feet from centerline.
c . Install standard roadway between new curb and
street centerline.
d. Contribute $1 , 000 toward the cost of construc-
tion of a new bridge on Judson Street across
the Zanja.
2. Install standard sidewalik in Judson Street.
3. Install ornamental '-street lights and street signs
as required.
4 . Install sanitary sewerage system to serve all lots .
5. Drainage :
a. Deed to San Bernardino County Flood Control.
District a 60-foot right-of-way along the
south property line for the purpose of con-
structing a permanent drainage channel.
b. Construct a reinforced concrete block wall
along the east property line.
C . Dedicate to the San Bernardino County Flood
Control District a 50-foot right-of-way along
the douth side of the presently developed por-
tion of the trailer park and apartment develop-
ment west of Judson for the purpose of con-
structing a permanent drainage channel.
d. Agree to sell to the Flood Control District , at
fair market value, the apartment houses and
other improvements that must be removed to pro-
vide for a permanent channel north of the rail-
road right-of-way. The value of these facilities
to be determined by three appraisers, one to be
selected by Mr. E. J. Zeiner, owner of the de-
velopment , and one by the County Flood Control
District, and the third to be selected by the
other two appraisers.
6. Agree to provide the City of Redlands and County Floo
Control District with a Hold Harmless clause for floo
damage to the trailer park.
7. All improvements to be designed by owner' s civil en-
gineer and installed to the specifications of the
City Engineer.
tor Shone requested that, 11- approved, minute note be made that
the approval was given over the objection of the City Engineer.
The motion carried by the following vote :
AYES: Councilmen Martinez , Wagner, Cummings
,NOES: Councilman Hartzell, Mayor Burroughs
ABSENT: None
In voting "No" Mr. Hartzell made the following statement :
1 . Trailer Parks are not a permitted land use . Original
Ordinance No . 1124 adopted June 16, 1959, permitting
this use was repealed by Ordinance No. 11501 adopted
September 20, 1960, and has not been reinstated since.
2. Cannot be considered as an. expansion of an existing
use because the land now proposed for this use is not
a part of the parcel on which the present trailer park
exists, and is not a part of an integrated plan to ex-
pand.
3. Present trailer park is now a non-conforming use , and
approval of application will amount to an expansion
and perpetuation of such non-conforming use, in viola-
tion of existing ordinance.
4. Cannot be considered as a variance - Section 50. 10,
Ordinance No . 1000, page 16.
Should the members of the Council approve the application, then ;
1 . You are by Implication adopting the study ordinance,
Amendment No. 61 to Ordinance No . 1000, in spite of the
fact that neither the Planning Commission nor the Coun-
cil could reach agreement on its provisions .
2. You are in effect executing an ordinance without public
review or hearing.
3 . You are legislating for and in behalf of special inter-
ests exclusively, in the absence of any general public
-need or desirability for public health, safety and wel-
fare which is contrary to the accepted principles of
democratic government.
Councilman Cummings stated that the application was presented to
Council under Ordinance No. 1202 , prior to the removal of that
ordinance from the Code . The Council has held up the applica-
tion and for this reason it seems unjust to disqualify it at
this time. Ordinance No. 1202 is applicable if the property is
considered a problem parcel, and with all the discussion that
has occurred, I cannot see how the subject property can be called
anything else . This permit can also be justified as being re-
lated to uses already existing in the area.
Councilman Wagner stated that we have a parcel that is difficult
to deal with, trapped between drainage channel, railroad and
streets. This parcel deserves a chance to develop when this can
be done, and a Mobile Home Park is the highest and best use of
this land.

Council consideration of Tract No . 6953 originally scheduled for
