Followin a ment of the capital charges, Deane renovated an onsite well and tied it to their irrigation system onsite. Since the �` landscape irrigation system is tied to the domestic system supplied by City water, Dean Properties is providing for use of City water as a backup supply.

The pilot programs started in November, 1988, show that citizen interest and willingness to participate is present. By the tl� end of September, 1989, when the Department of Conservation Contract expires, i,,�( the City will have to have made a decision through the budget process whether i t l ` Redlands will expand the program to Citywide or table this program; pendingt, Federal and State legislation mandates that such programs be instituted. The t., degree of compliance with this legislation by the City is yet to be decided. The ; proposed Recycling budget for 1989-90 is $817,400. This sum would sufficiently , I HA 1 fund a comprehensive, multi-faceted, Citywide recycling program.

Cunningham and DeMirjyn indicated they would not support the sale of these bonds. Mr. Cunningham argued he would prefer to sell the "hotel site" s,,-� 1,1 rather than refinance the bonds. As a new member, Mr. Larson indicated he would need to abstain at this time as he felt he did not have enough information to make ,t 1� a decision. City Attorney Daniel J.

Mayor Beswick declared the meeting open as a public (� hearing for any questions or comments. The applicant, Dick Bartlett assured Council (4� he would comply with all call outs, he did not feel this approval would set a precedent because his property is unique, and urged approval of his application. There being �t no further comments, the public hearing was declared closed. Noting that only one communication from a neighbor had been received by the Council and it expressed ' tri v concern about the parking which Council felt would be adequately addressed and �) N based upon the finding that the house has architectural, cultural, and aesthetic interest or value to the community, Councilmember Larson moved to reverse the decision of the Planning Commission and approve Conditional Use Permit No. 522, subject to the findings required by the Redlands Municipal Code, all department requirements as contained in Planning Commission minutes dated March 28, 1989, (4,` and the following changes to the Planning Department Conditions of Approval: No. 5: Clarification regarding the Concrete curb: Includes all new landscape areas and the planter adjacent to the. driveway.

This should still be a }j recorded agreement. j if5)l No. 23: This condition was recommended for deletion by the Planning Commission. Staff would recommend that this condition be modified to state "Six (6) ,rr, 1 inch high concrete curbs to be placed along westerly interior property } line." The northerly property line is located in a planter area shared with the mortuary; the southerly property line is required by Code to have t a wall; and the easterly property line is adjacent to Center Street. 'i`�4' Vv Na. 24: A portion of the southerly property line is located at the bottom of an open )i flood control channel.

Such wall shall not exceed three feet in height where it is in the front yard area of the abutting residential district." Y X,'t No. 25: Instead of requiring a twenty-foot wide drive, the applicant will provide a unilateral letter of agreement from the mortuary for ingress and egress y ; and parking. This permits the elimination of spaces ten and eleven and 1 Vit provides adequate drive widening in the area to allow for cars to pass one ,"`t {t t another.

Staff explained that r Home this proposed amendment is designed to reduce the bureaucracy assocated with the Occupation current home occupation permit procedures while maintaining existing levels of Permits notification.

The concept of developing a specific plan Village to address the existing Citrus Village Shopping Center evolved from Zone Change Ufa Na 283 which requested a change from G-2 to the G-3 District Because the C-3 s Specific Plan uses were considered too expansive for the site staff recommended the specific No. 41 plan process Progress on filing, the specific plan was stymied when the necessary tf signatures for the application were not obtained. On September 8, 1988, at the -� g lE P� �. request of one of the Center's property owners, the City Council directed the City to be the; applicant. Since that time, seven noticed meetings and hearings have been held. This reflects the neighborhood's concern with the project. The proposed Specific Plan satisfies State law requirements. It is unique in that it addresses an existing development. Staff believes that the proposed Specific Plan is a reasonable 6 ? compromise document that recognizes the neighborhood concerns while encouraging continued economic vitality of the development. As a compromise document, not " everyone is satisfied. The developer desired expanded hours of operation (from 10:00 P.M. to midnight) and the neighbors did not want expansion of the retail use, primarily the proposed music and record retail stores, Staff presented a synopsis ' of the; main topics discussed throughout the hearing process and their resolution in the Specific Plan. Mayor Beswick declared the meeting open as a public hearing for any questions or comments concerning this Specific Plan. :i i Westar Partner, Peter Koetting, owner of Lot 2, reviewed the numerous meetings � held on this application and the 18 revisions made resulting from those meetings. Earlier in the day, he submitted a letter outlining Westar's concerns about signage and hours of operation, and he requested that the shopping center be allowed to SO operate until 11:00 P.M. rather than the recommended 10:00 P.M. Representing the owners of Lot 1, Charles T. Schultz. attorney with Reid & Hellyer, also requested that they be allowed to keep the Center open until midnight or 11:00 P.M. especially on Fridays, Saturdays, and holidays. He also expressed concern about the parking requirements and requested that: the language appearing in the March 8, 1989, ` proposal be used in the Specific Plan. Mark Wesley, Music Plus, described his business and explained that adult entertainment videos were kept in a separate walled-off area with a door. On behalf of the neighborhood committee of which a large number were present at this meeting, Dixie Hardy informed Council they were opposed to the Specific �# Plan and reminded them they had submitted an alternate plan. Working with the WN proposal before Council, she expressed several concerns including: limiting any similar use changes to the Specific Plan, notifying property owners within a 1,200- foot radius of any amendments to the Specific Plan, elimination of the "future building site" on the map included, deletion of any C-3 land uses, not allow any music/record store uses, limit alcoholic sales in a restaurant to beer and wine, delete auto sales f r U) _ _ _ -.-—• - `.v.'-- rt-r—'�yR'� ..—res =ammrt "A& 096 g x 01, from the allowable uses, eliminate beauty/barber schools from allowable uses, change the word "commercial" to "retail" throughout the Specific Plan, and address the parking concerns. Each of these items was reviewed by Council with the developer. j, Dennis Tribble, another neighbor, addressed their concerns about the easterly d , driveway on Cypress Avenue and asked that it be closed and to not allow any adult entertainment videos. Following this lengthy public hearing, Councilmember ` DeMirjyn's motion to deny the Specific Plan died for lack of a second. Noting that �' Councilmembers would like to see the changes agreed upon at this meeting, i� t Councilmember Cunningham moved to continue the public hearing to May 16, 1989.
