# Housing?
Perla Eston, County Housing Authority, reported the two sites under
consideration this evening were located at 108 West Cypress Avenue (five
two-bedroom units) and 48 North San Mateo (eleven two-bedroom units).
The sites were submitted to HUD for price feasibility review. The
appraisal on the Cypress Avenue site is too low for the salep rice and
therefore is withdrawn from consideration. The County Housing Authority
is now asking for approval only for the San Mateo site which is Located
in an R-2 Zone, contains approximately 24,000 senate feet, is surrounded
by apartments, meets HUD requirements, and is not located in an impacted '
swv
chool area. She stressed this request is not for. r specific approval,
G Pw
only approval to proceed with surveys and planning. Miss Ester, stated
KI
that current zoning allows a twenty-five percent density bonus for law- �
f�
income housing, the Housing Authority is asking for eleven units if the
Redlands Planning Commission and HUD will approve.

property, the size of the entrance, parking, lack of children's play
space, the danger the drainage ditch presents, and density In the area by
Victor Blankenship, 1740 Canyon Road; Bill Padavick, 17 Hastings; and
Bowook Paik, 215 San Mateo. Mr. Blankenship also felt that all City,
State, and Federal laws should be followed the same as a private developer'
would be required to do.
a
t# Dr. Rolan Zimmerman, 1004 West Highland Avenue, stated segregation of the Vit,

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS - ADDENDUM
_
1. Resolution No. 3685 - Temporar Street Closures
Resolution No. 3685, a resolution of the City Council authorizing the g k.
Chief of Police to temporarily close City streets for special events
amu, where in the opinion of the local authorities such closure is necessary
for the safety and protection of persons who are to use that portion of
the street during the temporary closures, was tabled to this evening's
<<
meeting on motion of Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilman Riordan.
EPK 2. Street Engineering Contract Award - W.E.S. Engineer.in, Co.
A $33,000.00 contract for preparation of plans for street improvements '
in Census Tract 80 was awarded to W.E.S. Engineering Company as approved
by the office of Community Development on motion of Councilman Martinez,
RE seconded by Councilman Roth. The total project is a CDBG grant in the
amount of $237,974.00.
� 3. Proposition "R" - Ordinance No. 1680 - Allocation Procedures - Schaal
Impaction
Councilman Roth made the fallowing statement; "T would like to bring up
a subject going back to the 'R' allocations. It has been brought to my
attention in the last twenty-four hours that the School District is doing
something that, in my view, is wrong. We all know about the school fee,
and that ties to do with Section 4 of Ordinance 1680. However, the
School District in their consideration of allocation points for the first
s allocation period of 1.984 has been extracting a fee from applicants and
s
removing the negative ten points that they would otherwise be given in
,_>
the other section.
I "We had many discussions in the Proposition 'R' Committee that we had no
RAI
intentions of having mitigating situations under the other sections; and
there is, in my estimation no p1-ace in Proposition 'R,' nor in Ordinance '
1680, that mitigation measures can be taken except under Section 4.
� "I talked with Mrs. Dyke last night and she agreed with me. May I say
also, to make things clearer, I do not feel that the Schools are doing01 i
anything i.ntentionally to produce problems. I feel that this was their
understanding, and I am not making any allegations otherwise. However,
this is something that should not be allowed; it is a dangerous precedent
to set, and it was not intended. If a development is in an area where
there should be no buil-ding, or at least there should be negative points
for a building, then that is the way it should be handled because other-
wise you are going against the spirit of Proposition 'R' also.,
.. Mayor Gorman stressed that Section 2 and Section 4 of Ordinance 1680
had a distinct difference and should not be allowed to merge together;
that one deals with the allocation process and the other deals with
impactions, mitigation, and emergency situations. He added that when ;
this matter was discussed at last Friday's meeting he and Mr. DeMirjyn
held with the School District representatives, the members felt they were
entering into legally binding contracts that they could enforce later on.
Manning Director Schindler explained that three of the twenty applica-
tions received from the School District had a statement on the bottom
agreeing to pay an impaction fee, and these did not get a minus-ten-
point penalty. On this basis, he called the other applicants, and most
of them agreed to do the same thing. He clarified that every one of the
twenty received an impaction penalty.
t Dr. Roth questioned whether or not it was on the basis that the higIS
h
j school was impacted. Mr. Schindler replied that it was not stated.
01
Mr. Schindler pointed out that Ordinance 1680 requires that each agency
that provides a service must file a letter stating that this allocation
will not impact their services, and added that he had, this afternoon,
received a letter from Assistant Superintendent Bill Gibson which stated
that the schools were impacted and referenced back to the original school
resolution. There were no schools identified.
Mr. Schindler also reminded Council of the time schedules. Public hearing1h.
is advertised for June 26 as the first allocation of 1980, with the actual,
allocation date to be no later. than July 15; the second allocation has
already begun with the closing date of May 15, and the allocation date
of August 15. He added that any change would need to be made by resolu-
tion.
tt
PIaANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS - ADDENDUM (Continued)
Mr. Gorman commented that in the discussion last Friday, the District l
members announced that at the School Board meeting on the second Tuesday
of June, they would request the administration to provide, for the meeting
of the fourth Tuesday, "new information and to hold public hearing at
that time to discuss for the public's purposes and plead their case: on 04
school. impaction."
He added, "I think it would be an act of bad faith if we did somethincr
that otherwise preempted the school board's ability to hold their
meetings. My personal feeling is there is sufficient cloud hanging over
w this whole question that perhaps we should be careful about how we move
on this issue right now."
City Manager Christiansen recommended moving the dates for both alloca-
tions to benefit the School. Board and in the event the allocations are
completed early, the dates could be set back.
Following discussion, Councilman Roth made the following motion: "I
move that we invalidate the current numerical scoring by the School ;
District, and in the process inform them that there will be no mitigation ! t
under the Point Allocation System. I would also request the School Board
tag
to give a numerical scoring in accordance with Section 2, Paragraph 9,
Subsection 'e' of Ordinance 1680 as amended by Ordinance 171.7. 1 also
move that the dates of allocations be combined and moved to not sooner
than September 15."
Councilman Riordan asked that a request be included in the motion for "a
data base for their declaration of impaction." Council concurred that
this should he a separate motion. ME
LH
Councilman Riordan then seconded Dr. Roth's motion.
Mayor. Gorman restated the motion, including that the point count submis-
sion b the School Board School Administration was not 10-1 y J prepared in
accordance with the guidelines of Ordinance 1680, Paragraph 9; that
Council is requesting that the count be revised and resubmitted in accor-
dance with Paragraph 9; that Council believes Paragraph 9 specifically K, Nr
prohibits pre-mitigation, and with the date for the combined allocations r:'y
be not sooner than September 15. Approval was given by the following
roll call. vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Riordan, Roth; Mayor Gorman
NOES: None
eA ABSTAIN: Councilmember Martinez
ABSENT: Mayor DeMirjyn &_
M
Councilman Riordan then moved that the Council request in writing from
the School Board, at the same time as their submittal of allocation
points, an update on current enrollment and the validation for their
declarations of impaction wherever they may be made, and it should be
made on a school by school basis. Dr. Roth seconded the motion.
Mrs. Riordan then stated: "We have said very specifically 'within any
school attendance boundary' continuously in discussions so I feel it is
very important that in order to evaluate a project based on the school
attendance. using 9e that their data must support it, or not support it,
whichever. And I think it's a simple thing to request and recognizing
that we must use it in our evaluation because there may come a time r
when, at another point, there may be an area where we may consider_ `
overriding impaction if we disagree with it. I mean that it is something i
hN !; that exists for this Council and we always have to remain cognizant of
our rights for that. That is my reason for my request." � „+
Mayor Gorman siad, "I might add that at least in some people's minds,
they held that having once defined the approach in Section 2, that it
automatically would be carried into Section 4. Clearly others have
chosen not to interpret it that way; certainly that is probably an area M .
k.
which we should look to in the future to clarify."
Councilman Roth said, "I think there's a difference in the way this thing
can be said. What we are talking about in Section 2 is a school atten-
dance area; what we're talking about in Section 4 is the district-wide
t ' problem. I think it has to be looked at that way and we have to keep that. �.Sr
in mind at all times."
