Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission - Mrs. Meryl McDowell, chair- Y man of the Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission said the Commission is recommending an amendment to Ordinance No. 1000 which would allow 0r historic properties, that might otherwise be lost to Redlands because of '�"� "' their size, for possible conditional use permits. She stated the Commis- sion is not endorsing any particular project, nor advocating anything buts an allowable, orderly consideration of uses for historic homes other than ! U� { primarily residential. The Commission is recommending the following Historl.c wording as an amendment to Section 52.00, Conditional Use Permits, of Properties Ordinance No. 1000: "Any commercial use of a registered property (Ordinance No. 1600) which use is reasonably expected to foster the Conditional preservation and public enjoyment of the registered character of such 9 � Use Permits property_" Mrs. McDowell pointed out that the conditional use process goes on a case by case method of restrictions on each application. She (i�ibs�t also clarified the use of registered property in accordance with Ordinaneo its �( No. 1600, and stated the Commission does not envision use of the register as a list of possible commercial places. She urged that Council submit this amendment to the staff for review. She also suggested adoption of � h` I the Uniform Building Code Exemptions for Historic Properties and the State ,1�(zr. Historic Building Code. rp rj Mr. Ron Running expressed his concerns over the proposed amendment which � he is afraid may foster speculations for historic structures and thereby f' i increase the costs for use as a residence. He also feared this amendments would allow spot zoning and felt commerical intrusion into residential neighborhoods was a negative factor. He expressed his hope that Council would concentrate commercial development in the downtown district and allow residential neighborhoods to be preserved- Representing a large group of residents present in the standing-room-only Chambers, Mr. William Branch, 1151 West Crescent Avenue, stated they believed that the proposed amendment violated the very purpose of zoning i laws and conditional use permits; that it would provide a legal basis j for inserting incompatible commercial uses into an existing and stable residential neighborhood; that it was doubtful that the proposed change would accomplish its objective for preserving the character of historic property; that it would encourage the registration of properties in residential areas for the sole purpose of converting them to commercial j use=_; that it would encourage the purchase of historic residential properties with a speculative intent; that it would ultimately result in the violation of several neighborhoods with commercial uses, which would not promote the safety and public welfare of the surrounding residences, and that it would change one of the original intents of the historical registration ordinance, which is the desire of owners of historic properties to protect their properties. He concluded stating the proposed amendment was bad land use law that would foster imcompatiblq uses that would adversely affect the community and may not preserve the original character of these historic properties, and requested that pro this i Council reject proposed osed amendment. Mayor Roth thanked everyone for their presentations and said this would require a lot more study. Councilman DeMirjyn stated that his silence expresses that he would reject any commercialism going into neighborhoods. Council then recessed briefly to allow clearing of the Chambers, I I CR 263' APPLICAyTIONS AND PETITIONS At its October 26, 1982 meeting the Planning Commission approved Commission Review and Approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 89 for the addition of rfitt tsl >�` Appeal a rectory on property located at 1100 Occidental Drive.

Councilman DeMirjyn said there seemed to be some misunderstanding with -' the Planning Commission finding and asked if the Planning Commissioners present would care to speak at this time. Ordinance No. 1802 planning Commission Chairman Swen Larson, speaking for himself, stated he Specific favored the curvilinear plan as opposed to the double knuckle as he felt Plan No. 31 it was obviously the better for traffic flow. He had felt that if access Orange, to Alabama was denied, the project would be delayed and in turn delay Tree Lane compensation back to the City. Although he did not think any of the Commissioners favored. additional traffic signals on Alabama, the addition of one more could be sequenced properly for the flow of traffic. Commissioner Scott Reynolds also spoke stating that upon reflection and ' further discussion with knowledgeable people, he now preferred the curvi- linear plan, and that if he had the opportunity to review it again, he would be in favor of the curvilinear plan. Councilman DeMirjyn moved to refer Specific Plan No. 31 back to the Plan- ning Commission for a report; motion seconded by Councilman Martinez. Mayor Roth reiterated his position of being stead-fastly against OrangeP. ' Tree Lane being connected to Alabama, but if the majority desired this, he i wanted the curvilinear alignment. u i Councilman Gorman observed that at one time the Fast Valley Complex was agreeable to taking Orange Tree Lane to Lugonia Avenue. He felt that whatever the decision was that ultimately the City will have to Live with it for generations, and he has a great deal of problem with the situation p where he is receiving a recommendation that does not give proper deferance; i to long range consideration. -3 The motion to refer Specific Plan No. 31 to the Planning Commission for a report was then approved,by the following vote: AYES: Councilmen DeMirjyn, Martinez, and Johnson; NOES: Councilmen Roth and Gorman.
