{I PRESENTjATION I{
Bob Mitchell, a member of C.R.E,A,T.E. , which is a group of property
u's
owners and interested citizens, addressed Council regarding strategy this
group has been developing during the past year for revitalization of
downtown Redlands. He described the core area of approximately 170 acres j
as property bounded by Church Street, Vine Street, Texas Street, and
Colton Avenue, and the target area as bounded by Sixth Street, Redlands j
I
Boulevard, Eureka Street, and the Freeway. Studies how that most of the
property in the target area is locally owned and that the owners are enthu-
siastic and ready to go. Mr. Mitchell stressed there is an urgent need
C.R.E.A;.T.E. to start planning now in order to improve the front door to the city and
Presentation to support the existing businesses. A strong partnership with the City
and the owners is needed for a joint solution. C.R.E.A,T.E. does not
I
want the bulldozer approach but wants to build upon the positive and
minimize removal of land from the property tax rolls. Redevelopment funds
could be used on a case-by-case basis for seed money. i
Mr. Leon Armantrout thanked Council for the opportunity to make this pre- I 17„=
sentation and showed a slide presentation of this group's ideas. He
commented that it was no wonder that "Redlands was the best kept secret in
Southern California” considering the condition of the land near the approac --
to downtown from the freeway. He pointed out the positive elements that

are already existing such as Carlson Hardware, Rettig Machine Shop, Kramer'�s
Paint Shop, Cabin Craft, Mitten's Letters, Rapid Data, Custom Engineering, tt
Turn of the Century, and Tom Medlicott's Stained Glass Studio. He
I t I Iili,
invited Council to join this group and celebrate this idea.
Mr. Mitchell urged the Redevelopment Agency to enter into a contract with
�ttr � a consultant firm to proceed. A work statement has been prepared and
EN� C.R.E.A.T.E. has contacted different firms for proposals. He felt that a
`h= C.R.E.A.T.E.
� y final commitment of resources was needed contigent upon a consultant's
�< Presentation
favorable report. He also recommended that a citizens' organization was ;(
needed during the study to assist in providing input and hoped that
I�r
C.R.E.A.T.E. could provide this service through the Redlands Redevelopment
Agency's Executive Director. Also recommended was the establishment of a f
. r
central source for a point of contact and storage of records and, again,
C.R.E.A.T.E. would be happy to do this. �It�
I(Ni: Councilmembers individually expressed their support of this idea and desire( V,
4
to do whatever they could in view of the City's financial standing. 4�
, Councilman Gorman recommended this be scheduled on an agenda for a special
Redevelopment Agency meeting for consideration and study.
PUBLIC JIEARZNG '<
I�Jl
Public hearing was advertised for this time and place on Ordinance No. 1788 E�
an ordinance of the City of Redlands implementing the initiative ordinance
•� � �� to moderate growth within the City and repealing Ordinances Nos. 1680, 1717�, ��,�
C 1
1742, and 1748. Mayor Roth declared the meeting open as a public hearing I, €
IS--I it
F"4 for questions or comments concerning this ordinance.
a
Mr. William Cunningham, member of the Redlands School Board, presented a Uo
suggested revision to Section 8, Schools. One of the revisions wouldS;
s�4 include the word "safe" to describe walking distance. The School Board Al
would also like to reinstate a minus 10 in paragraph i4 (e). Councilman
Martinez felt this was a reasonable request and should be incorporated in
,74I
in any amendments.
(`� (
�r
Mr. Swen Larson, Chairman of the Planning Commission, publicly thanked t'B
i' Ordinance
fv
No. 1788 Council for their support and explained that after a meeting with Mayor 3�(h
Roth it seemed that the recent disagreement between Council and the Plan-
ning
lan ning Commission was mostly due to lack of communication and that the two
3
Proposition
R" bodies are not that far apart. He went on to say the Commission was
Si
willing to abide by Council's decision, and he hoped we would have a
better Redlands for it.
Mr. David Waters, 7 East Citrus Avenue, expressed his disappointment that
the sub-committee did not include any citizens in its membership. He felt ( � s
S I this new ordinance was forcing development into the north side of town I � 4
where the schools are already impacted and where there are drainage problem ,���r�S��
He also felt that the allocation and tentative approval should run concur-
rently
oncur
rently with the application. ttt�t

Mrs. Phyllis Eldridge, 441 Via Vista Drive, stated there has been much give! jSSj
� !�4
and take with a number of people trying hard to implement Proposition "R.
She urged Council to not dilute "R" because the people have spoken. She
also expressed her concerns with drainage.

PUBLIC ,HEARING (Continued)
I Mr. Norman Langley expressed his concern about tentative tract map apProva�
which is now to be done prior to receiving allocation points. These
iy ���4t°
approvals have conditions attached that the developer agrees to and must ����
1S
i ,rrr,
mitigate in some instances, and he felt this was a direct conflict when
a developer agreed to do something but lost points on "R."
Mr. Bob Roberts felt this new ordinance penalized developers in many ways
and that it very poorly addresses affordable housing. He felt the priori
4,{
ties were shaky and that high interest rates have not really tested "R."
�iiF I 1
si
r ? Mr. James Coffin, 1140 West Highland Avenue, expressed many concerns which �ji5�`tk
br he submitted in writing. These concerns covered drainage, providing (`<ri
improvements that upgrade service to the whole community, park fees,
architectural design variety, grading, landscaping,g, and preservation of
agricultural preserves. Mr. Coffin strongly felt that the life of an RDA
�sf should be the same as a tentative map with the same extension considera-
tions required by the map act.
1 Mr. Joseph Janezyk, 719 Buckingham, made a point of observation that I ,
projects on the north side are ususaliy purchased by "outsiders" and hill
�
owners are usually "insiders" moving up.

„R by the School Board; motion seconded by Councilman Johnson. Council

'! discussed the revisions at length and approved the motion by the following
vote. AYES: Councilmembers Roth, Martinez, and Johnson; NOES: Council- 1`
41 members DeMirjyn and Gorman.
�
Council discussed drainage at length. Councilman DeMirjyn suggested extra J IIN
s`1
points be alloted for one acre lots. Councilman Johnson suggested points {i
be allocated based on contribution to run off. He expressed grave concern
with rewarding the San Timoteo Creek basin with ten points and thet7
r
possibility of a suit against Redlands if Loma Linda was flooded. Council-I
j
man Roth felt this suggestion should be reviewed by the Public Works
Department and Commission for input and perhaps could be incorporated in
the next revision. Councilman Gorman felt that "washing away Lorna Linda" j
was somewhat an exaggeration and had no difficulty with the consistency
of the present system of awarding points. He stated he was not concerned
about future litigation in this regard. Councilman Martinez stated that
the citizens of Redlands should be aware of the legal funds spent in the
past six to eight months, and he is not sure if we can continue at this j
rate. He stated he was very concerned if this ordinance was not refined.
Councilman DeMirjyn then moved to add to No. 4, Storm and Flood Drainage, l
a ten point bonus for one acre or large lots that are in the minus ten
zone. Motion seconded by Councilman Martinez and failed by the following
vote: AYES; Councilmen DeMirjyn and Martinez; NOES: Councilmen Roth,Gorman,,
and Johnson. Councilman Gorman recommended that the Public Works Commis-
sion review this idea and give us their thoughts for future reference, i

Councilman Martinez questioned the rationale in the parks category. it
was pointed out there was a need to address this issue in accordance with
ttl
Proposition "R." There was also a short discussion regarding Proposition
try "S" which does not apply to the new phase of building in Plymouth Village ( ,
( ` Councilman Roth explained, in response to some of tonight's speakers, that )
Proposition "R" says allocations shall be in tentative tract form and
since there is no legal reason why we cannot do this, Council wanted to
try it.
Councilman Martinez moved to change the filing and -allocations dates for � �1
Ordinance 1982 under Section IIS-C as follows: the first allocation date for 1982 `
itA0� No. 17,88 shall be August 20 and the first filing deadline for 1982 shall be June 30!

it would be allowed to do this.

to grant a variance as follows: (1) That there are exceptional or extra- ;,i
?x ordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to the
intended use that do not apply generally to other properties or uses in the same vicinity and zone; (2) That such variance is necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by t}'�,;
i +4t# other properties in the same vicinity and zone district, but which is
denied to the property in question; (3) That the granting of such variance
will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property
Or improvements of others in the vicinity (at this point Utilities Engineer)

jThe Mill Creek Cooperative Water Project Agreement, of which the City is

a party to, requires that the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water Distridt �`pY�:
execute an agreement with the Southern California Edison Company toh��;
provide for the diversion of water above the Edison Santa Ana Plant No. 3 ',-`�
and Mill Creek Plant No. 1. The letter for Council approval only indicate dri��4
that Council agrees with the opinion of District Counsel and that Counsel
has no objections to Edison Company changing thea{1,"
{{� { j p y g g point at which water is ,
delivered to parties of the Mill Creek Water project Agreement. A letter �,;
i`
dated May 13, 1982, from City Attorney Dallas Holmes indicated more timeRol
was needed for legal counsel to examine the documents. d��y
�j I Stating he felt sufficient study had been done, Councilman DeMirjyn moved

iAN
for approval of this diversion agreement, Councilman Johnson seconded the
jmotion. (
IWI
David Garcia addressed Council with the recommendation that this diversion
'Ell "
�V agreement be approved tonight subject to legal counsel review with a V"
particular look at the legal aspect in connection with the water rights
Water issue to make sure the City's water rights arc- not adversely affected by
DiversipnY
lY� this document. He further stated that he and John Donnelly had reviewed Agreeme�t
V),61 the document in detail and were convinced it was a good document.
k{{j,a 11
f}lye Edison Councilman Johnson differed with the staff recommendation stating that Mr. �
Company,,
Anderson of Best, Best and Krieger had reviewed the entire document for
U ', the North Fork Water Company. He felt that as Best, Best, and Krieger was
� ,1 C the City's attorney by contract, that the document had been reviewed by
the City's attorney and had been accepted as not adversely affecting any
water rights in the agreement, He further explained the need for acting
tonight to avoid a possible change in the cost the Department of Water
Resourse pays. He reiterated that the letter from Mr. Holmes did not say
there was any problem with water rights.
The question was called for and the motion to approve the diversion agree-
ment was approved by the following vote: AYES: CouncilmertS-iers DeMirjyn,
Martinez, Johnson; NOES: Councilmembers Roth and Gorman.
Following the vote, Attorney Riddell stated that his office has not
reviewed this document to determine water rights that may be claimed by
the City of Redlands. He assumed that Mr. Johnson was correct that Mr.
Anderson had reviewed the agreement to check North Fork Water Company
rights, but felt sure that the agreement was not checked to determine if
the City of Redlands water rights were adversely affected.
Councilman Roth stated he did not understand this document without legal ,
l i YaG
counsel, hence the reason for his negative vote.
j Councilman Gorman stated it was highly inappropriate because of a parlia-
mentary manuever not to have been able to ask the staff several very
simple questions on this matter and that he was very disappointed with the
manner this Council handled this matter. j

Attorney Riddell distributed copies of a memorandum he prepared for the

answer any questions Council might have. V
Mr. Riddell then explained the role of the city attorney and the policy
S of his office which was to practice oreventivelaw and to provide a quality �
i
of service which hopefully would keep the City out of court rather than
sir in court. It is hopeful that in that practice the city attorney would 0'� ;.
be able to keep the fees to a minimum and yet provide a high quality of
