Measure N - Fro osition R Point Rain Sys tem
_ _._.._._._ - -..-._____-s ._-.__
' Staff provided an analysis of what modifications should occur in order that the current
point rating system for Residential Development Allocations (Proposition RlOrdixcance
• No, 1843) can adequately address the following two specific categories under Section 4
i of Measure N: (1) Proximity and access to available City and school services and
(2) Senior citizen needs and price. Staff also recommended adding a suction for phased
projects to assist developers which have completed one or more phases but who still p
. , need to be fully allocated in order to finish their projects. City Attorneys Holmes
? suggested having a workshop session to review the point rating system. Council
concurred to adjourn this meeting to March 15, 1988, at 1:30 P.M.
Council briefly recessed at 4:50 P.M. and reconvened at 5:00 P.M. -

' 'Traci 10082 Wabash and Reservoir Road
' On February 16 1988 Father Louis Hemmers representing 31 Wimbleton heights
homeowners expressed concern over grading of Tract 10082, application of Proposition
R and Measure N and heavy truck traffic on their residential streets, Community
Development Director Shaw reported that staff reviewed the revised grading plans
on February 17, 1988, and compared them with the initial grading plans submitted
° in March, 1979. It was found that the grading was not significantly changed from '
that originally approved and the revised plan was approved at staff level. The project
pre dates Proposition R and therefore was not required to go through the allocation r
process. City Engineer Mutter reported he met with the developer to request voluntary
compliance with the residents' requests regarding the truck traffic and the developer
was willing to change his route. Father Hemmers expressed appreciation for Council
i and staff's sensitivity to their concerns. Mr. Shaw indicated that Chief Building
s'
Official Martinez will meet with the residents to be sure they understand the grading
59
and drainage plans to alleviate their concerns.
Implementation of Measure N - Vested Proiects
_.. _ , Asx
Following the February 2, 1988, meeting, Council took actions to define vesting,
established criteria for vesting and established a procedure for issuing a limited
number of building permits. Vested projects, while exempted from Measure N were
by definition still to be counted toward the overall limit of 400 building permits each
year. Given this definition of vesting and the procedures adopted for issuing permits
on a first come basis, vested projects received no priority over non-vested projects.
Chief Building Official Martinez prepared a memorandum regarding "The Redlands"
Mobilehome Park and implementation of Measure N. Mr. Don Buhler, The Redlands, r.
again appealed to Council for assistance with his unusual project. Councilmember
Cunningham felt that vested people have priority and should be allowed to proceed.
Policy Following discussion, Councilmember Cunningham moved that no projects move forward
except those of the single family homes that are exempted and vested projects until
April 1. 1988, at which time Council will review the permits issued and perhaps set
a number for allocations for the next quarter for those non-vested. Motion seconded ry;
by Councilmember Johnson and carried unanimously.

PUBLIC BEARINGS
Resolution Public hearing was advertised for this time and place to consider the. recommendation
No, 4336 of the Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission to designate l:he Deming Building
located at 526-528 North Orange Street as an historic resource.
Historic Preservation Officer Cozen explained that this building meets four of the criteria for
Resource designation as an historic property. He reported that the Historic and Scenic
Preservation Commission determined that certain significant historic design fc atures
of the building be preserved including the swastika Indian good health symbol. The
owner disagrees with retention of the swastika, which has been there since 1912, The
Commission felt strongly that this symbol should be preserved for its historical
significance because it helps make the building unique, because its retention can help
educate the public about the pre-Nazi nature of the symbol, and because, Redlands'
01, citizens understand the symbol and do not object to it. They expressed the desire +
that a plaque be installed on the building to inform the public of the origins of the
symbol. Therefore, the owner has indicated a willingness to work with the community z
although a design treatment may be used to tone down the symbol.
Mayor Beswick declared the meeting open as a public hearing for any questions or
comments concerning this matter. None being forthcoming, the public hearing was
declared closed, Councilmember Cunningham moved to adopt Resolution No. 4336,
a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redlands designating the Deming Building
located at 526-528 North Orange Street as an historic property. Motion seconded by
Councilmember Beswick and carried by the, following vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Wormser, Johnson, Cunningham;
Mayor Beswick
NOES: Councilmember DeMirjyn who continues to maintain that the building should
v be demolished.
