PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Planning Commission Actions - January 10, 1989 On motion of Councilmember Johnson, seconded by Councilmember Wormser, the report of the last Planning Commission meeting was unanimously acknowledged as received. MW Northeast Specific Plan Work Program Community Development Director Shaw reminded Council that they had requested more information on a draft work program for the Northeast Specific Plan work program at their December 20. 1988, meeting. Staff contacted. John Blayney, the General Plan Consultant, and he initially felt he could prepare a cost estimate in time for this report. However, the issue of Norton Air Force Base's possible closure arose, and staff became less sure of the optimum land use pattern in the area because the large impact. of Norton's noise contour may disappear. Land use issues are very much up in the air at the present tune, and the consultant needs extra time to consider land use issues and to prepare a budget. On motion of Councilmember Cunningham, seconded by Councilmember Johnson, Council unanimously directed staff to return with comparative cost estimates for the Northeast Specific Plan work program as soon as possible. Resolution No. 4466 - Building Permit Allocations Community Development Director Shaw reported that in late December, the Davies Project, with 44 vested (rion-single family) units, was issued permits within calendar year 1.988. This reduced the number of permits which need to be set aside for vested projects in 1989 and staff recommended adopting Resolution No. 4466 to expand the number of building permits available on a quarterly basis from 44 to 55. Council discussed the Osborne reserve which is needed in light of the court decision and felt ois change was not necessary at this time, Michael At:encio urged Council to allow all permits to be issued as needed by the developers. Mr. Shaw said staff had discussed different schedules but felt it was best to spread the permits over a quarterly basis in view of the impact on staff and the community. City Attorney McHugh responded to Mark Biakenship's inquiry about the Osborne case. During the ensuing discussion, Councilmember Johnson announced he would have to abstain from this matter as he had done business with one of Mr. Atencic's clients. Council took no action on this resolution. Resolution No. 4468 - Intent to Annex (No. 67) Resolution No. 4468, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redlands declaring its intention to initiate on its own motion proceedings to annex certain uninhabited territory (Annexation No. 67) which consists of approximately 100 acres owned by the City or in escrow to the City and is located between California Street, Nevada Street, Palmetto Avenue, and the Santa Ana River Wash, was unanimously adopted on motion of Councilmember Cunningham, seconded by GounCilmember Johnson. Subdivision No. 13765 ySteve Rosenberg - Final Approval All requirements as contained in Council minutes of December 1, 1987, having been complied with, it is the recommendation of the Planning Division ghat final approval p g be granted for Subdivision No. 13765, an application to divide approximately 7.58 acres of land into 25 lots for property located northerly of San. Bernardino Avenue, approximately! 650 feet easterly of Occidental Drive, R-1 and R-S Zones.

Donley on motion of Councilmember Johnson, seconded by Councilmember DeMirjyn. Annexation Michael Atenico requested Council to clarify action taken at their November 15, 1988, No. 69 meeting relating to Annexation No, 69 and the pre-zoning designation. Council's action permitted his client to request a change of zone at no additional cost when the annexation was completed. His client would prefer R-E zoning rather than the automatic A-1. There was no mention of a General Plan amendment being required prior to the filing for a zone change. Mr. Atencio noted that the surrounding property is zoned R-1 and General Plan amendments were not done for these zone changes. Gommunity Development Director Shaw felt a General Plan amendment was necessary and noted that the Northeast Study includes this property, but it appears the applicant wishes to proceed earlier. Following discussion, Councilmember Wormser moved to direct staff t:o initiate the necessary General Plan amendment and zone change and process the applications simultaneously as part of the cost of the annexation. Motion seconded by Councilmember Cunningham and carried unanimously. Point: Mr. A. C. Nejedly, Andly Development, addressed Council about a problem he is Allocations encountering regarding the points allocated for streets.

The certificate of participation which provided funding also required that the project be completed no later than February 1, 1989, and that any funds not expended by July 1, 1989, be transferred to the debt service fund. It is recommended that the Redlands Boulevard parking structure project not be constructed at this time and that the funds designated for the construction be allowed to revert to the debt service on the certificate of participation.
