Larson, Chairman Richard S. Bartlett, Commissioner , x Acting as facilitator, Commissioner Reynolds called the meeting to order at 4:10 P.M. for the purpose of holding a joint study session to discuss the roles of the Planning Commission and Planning Department, communica- tions between the City Council and Planning Commission, and the General Plan. Copies of Chapter 91 of the Redlands Ordinance Code, outlining the duties ` of the Planning Commission, were distributed and will be reviewed for future revision. The role of the Planning Commission is to implement and develop the General Plan. This was discussed at length, and although the General Plan is reviewed whenever an amendment is prepared, Councilmembers and Commissioners felt there was a need to have a study session focused on the entire General Plan. As the Planning Commission has a short. agenda scheduled for their July 12, 1983, meeting, it was agreed to hold a joint meeting with the City Council at 3:30 P.M. on that date for this � purpose. Planning Director Schindler explained the role of the PlannincI and i Community Development Department is to keep abreast of the laws and recommend changes to the Commission, Councilman Martinez felt we need a to have more contact with our State legislators. More and more State mandates are being imposed on local government and not allowing local p control. Councilman Johnson also felt it was very important to improve w4 communications with the County. I ; Commissioner Reynolds suggested a joint workshop-type session could be ri held on a yearly basis at which time everyone could look at the entire x • picture, rather than concentrating on individual applications, and set goals for the coming year. Another idea was to meet jointly on the fifth Tuesday. Also discussed was the possibility of having a benefit volleyball game at the Community Center with City Council, Planning Commissioners, and employees of the City. Proceeds would be used towards the purchase of weight-lifting equipment for the Community Center. Councilman DeMirjyn left the Community Room at 5:00 P,M, a Councilman Gorman was unable to attend this meeting, but asked Mr. Holmes to pass on his thoughts. They included the need for a historic preser- vation element, more green space, stronger sense of asthetics, stronger sign enforcement, and building exteriors controls, He also felt that perhaps standards should be reviewed to see if they are high enough. iCouncilmembers and Commissioners also discussed the future of northwest I Redlands.
