a Resolution. Public hearing was advertised for this time and place
No. 4269 to consider whether to designate Historic and Scenic District
No. 2 for properties generally located on Cajon Street and
Historic Fourth Street between Fern Avenue and Cypress Avenue, and
€ and adjacent properties on Fern Avenue, Home Place, and Cypress
Scenic r Avenue . Mayor Pro Tem Larsen declared the meeting open as a
District public hearing for any questions or comments regarding this
No. 2 matter. Council expressed concern that Paragraph No. 7 stated a
licensed architect was required for all new residential or
commercial structures in this neighborhood. Speaking in favor
of establishing this District and responding to this concern
were residents: John Alexandres, Derrill Quaschnick, and David
Baer. There being no further comments, the public hearing was
declared closed. Councilmember Johnson moved to adopt
Resolution No. 4269, a resolution of the City Council of the
City of Redlands designating the Cajon and Fourth Street
Neighborhood as Historic and Scenic District No. 2 with
Paragraph No. 7 to read: "All new residential or commercial
structures shall be designed consistent with Ordinance No.
i 1954." Motion seconded by Councilmember Wormser and carried by j
AXE votes of all present.
Appeal A public hearing was scheduled for this time and place to
consider an appeal filed on a Planning Commission decision
Zone Change regarding Zone Change No. 312, a change of zone from A-1
No. 31211 (Agricultural) District to R-E (Residential Estate) District for #
approximately 1.0 acres of land located on the southwest corner
of Fifth Street and La Salle Street. The Planning Commission
denied this request as it could not render the necessary $
majority vote as there were three for and three against Zone
Change No. 312. Council had excluded this site from the Open
s Space Study Plan as the process to remove it from the
y Agricultural Preserve District occurred prior to March 3, 1987,
and it was grandfathered under this action and allowed to
proceed. Mayor Pro Tem Larsen declared the meeting open as a
public hearing for any questions or comments concerning this
matter.
The applicant, Donald Williams, was available to answer
questions and briefly explained his plans for this property.
There being no further comments, the public hearing was declared
closed. Councilmember Wormser moved to uphold the appeal and
directed staff to prepare an ordinance to effect Zone Change No.
312. Motion seconded by Councilmember Johnson and carried by AXE
votes of all present.
Appeal ' A public hearing was scheduled for this time and place to
consider an appeal filed on a Planning Commission decision to r
Commission deny a request to allow a "cabinet shop" in the C-M Zone. In
Determination considering the request, staff recognized that there is some
No. 46 ? unclarity relative to this use and for this reason initiated an
Ordinance Text Amendment (No. 186) which will remedy this
j situation. Staff recommends that the City Council deny
Commission Determination No. 46 and recommend the applicant file
a Conditional Use Permit application relative to this use after
ordinance Text Amendment No. 186 has been approved. Mayor Pro
Tem Larsen declared the meeting open as a public hearing for any
questions or comments concerning this matter.

ordinance Community Development Director Shaw explained that the urgency
No. 1.999 ordinance would permit the processing of Conditional Use Permit
No. 450 as the Environmental Review, Conditional Use Permit, and
Moratorium Tentative Tract Map review process and approval can adequately
Exemption address the issues of traffic and circulation, drainage, sewer
disposal, fire flow, and water supply as identified in Section I
of Ordinance No. 1959, and approval of this entitlement will not
result in a threat to the public health, safety, or welfare.
The Drafted Live Oak Canyon (Southeast Area) General Plan
Amendment has enumerated numerous policy recommendations
i pertaining to the issues within the Live Oak Canyon area, some
of which are applicable to the proposed project. The proposed
project already has elements that are complementary to these
policy recommendations to include: (a) limited grading - only
30-35 percent of the 60 acre site is graded, (b) maintenance of
a signature ridge, (c) providing adequate fire access - via the
extension of Fairmont Drive as a fire road, and (d) providing
for the extension of a street circulatory system, water, and
other facilities to the site. other issues that may be in
conflict with the draft General Plan Amendment, such as the
issue of vehicular traffic capacity of Sunset Drive, will be
addressed through the environmental review, Conditional Use
Permit and Tentative Tract Map processes such that the integrity
of the Live Oak Canyon (Southeast Area) General Plan Amendment
is not jeopardized.
Councilmember Wormser asked for confirmation that this
application would have to go the environmental review, and Mr.
Shaw responded affirmatively, noting that the traffic
information changes, especially on Sunset Drive, would require
further review. Representatives from the Redlands Association
addressed Council as follows: R. A. Moore reviewed their letter
dated July 17, 1987, expressing opposition to any lifting of or
relief from the moratorium on approval of development in the
southeast Redlands area; Theresa Kwappenberger requested an
environmental review based on CEQA guidelines; and Robert Beck
called attention to other pending projects in the area and
4 320
expressed concern this may open doors to other challenges.
jMr. Osborne, the applicant, noted he has a completely different
view from that of the Planning staff and could not see having to
go through the process again regarding issues that have already
been addressed. Pat Meyer also indicated there was a
significant difference of interpretation and supported the
exemption from the moratorium.
In order to allow Councilmember Johnson time to confer with the
City Attorney, Council. recessed at 8:05 P.M. and reconvened at
8:15 P.M. Councilmember Johnson voiced his rationale to decide
if he should abstain from voting on this matter, indicating he
had privileged information that indicated the City would be in a
better position if the exemption were granted. Noting the
moratorium was under challenge, Councilmember Larsen stated he
s felt Mr. Osborne had been more than fair. Following discussion,
{ ; Councilmember Johnson moved to grant the exemption and adopt
Ordinance No. 1999, an urgency ordinance of the City of Redlands
exempting certain property from development restrictions in the
southeast Redlands area. Motion seconded by Councilmember
Wormser and carried by the following vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Johnson, Wormser; Mayor Pro Tem Larsen
