i
That R.P.C. No, 501, a resolution of the Planning Commission for the adop-
tion of Zone Change No. 217, a change of zone from A--1 (Agriculture) District
to R S (Residential Suburban) District for approximately 9.78 acres, be
approved.
Before Council consideration of the Planning Commission recommendation, Drti
Kenneth Roth of 1720 Sarrita Drive read a brief statement, and brought to
Council copies of the State Code, Chapter 4.7 "School Facilities " (NEW) .
This statement referred to Resolution. No. 39 which was adopted on May 8,
1979 by the Board of Education, Redlands Unified School District. This
resolution stated that the Redlands City Schools are impacted as a result
of the occupation of newly constructed residential units, and previously
approved, though not yet constructed, residential. units. Br. Roth pointed
out that under Government Code 65972, the State of California requires the
City Council "shall not approve an ordinance rezoning property to a r°eslden-i
tial use, grant a discretionary permit for residential use, or approve a
tentative subdivision map for residential purposes with the area, " if Coun-
cil concurs with the findings of the School Board.
pan
Tyr. Roth stressed that it is incumbent upon the Council to study the School
Board ' s claims and urged that the Council immediately investigate the con-
ditions and act according to the law. He added that the Redlands children
deserve the best education available, that such is not found in overcrowded
schools, and that this is one of the major concerns of those who supported,
Proposition "R. "
Mr. Ron Nottingham, speaking at length for Vanguard Corporation, urged the
Council to approve this zone change and gave examples of concessions made
by developers in other cities. Council discussed this with Mr. Nottingham... 1
In answer to Attorney Arkin ' s question, Mr. Elliott replied that Council had
not been briefed on the School Board's findings but that meetings were going
to be set up with board members in compliance with the Brown Act. City
Manager Christiansen stated that he and School Superintendent Boysen had
discussed meetings of two Councilmembers and two School. Board members in
order that all could become aware of the effect of the resolution on the
City. Following further discussion, Councilman. Riordan moved that becaute
of the forthcoming Council review of the impaction of schools and because of
possible availability of funds from Sacramento for school use, she would
like to table the matter until these two things are accomplished. The mo
tion was seconded by Councilman Elliott, Prior to voting on the motion to
table, Council had an open discussion with those in the audience. Mr. Hal
Hagen spoke concerning the point system under Proposition "R" and also
briefly described the application made to the state for the senior citizen
housing. Mr. Gus Bisesi addressed Council urging them to "wear one hat and
not allow people to put words in their mouths " Councilman Elliott stated
that each member of Council had recieved :letters from the School Board re-
ferring to Resolution No, 39 and Code Section 65971. Attorney Atkins stressed
that it is incumbent upon the Councilto inform themselves fully in view of
the letter from the schools.
The vote on Councilman Riordan' s motion to table was unanimous.
