housing for the Council.1. of Churches , read a statement from Reverend I,o i_"
Vickers . Mr. Taylor stressed the difference between this type of haus .n94
which is called rent--supplement or: interest-supplement, and "public - .

for presently existing in rental apartments immediately adjacent to the
proposed development was pointed out by Mr, Lawrence Ridge. Lt. Col.
Millican expressed concern for, the lowering of property values in the
neighborhood .
During the Council_ discussion direct question was given to the effect
on the City' s transportation problems and on the already existing school
crowding which might be caused by the addition of 150 families 'to this
neighborhood. Concern was expressed that this development would not
necessarily alleviate substandard housing problems already reported with-,,
in the city. Question was raised as to the practicality of use of this
area for housing for the elderly due to lack of access to core area
shopping :and medical facilities .
Mr. Glenn Pry gave a brief history of .the public housing as developed in
Redlands . Councilman Knudsen spoke on other types of housing for the
elderly. Councilman DeMi.rjyn moved to deny Coaaditional. Use Permit No .

vestigate the needs of the community generally for this type of housing,
and its suitability in this particular neighborhood. The task :force
would be volunteer and would use some staff help. He estimated it would
take about four months for a comprehensive study and report . Can motion
