1 PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Planning Commission Actions - October 24, 1989 P
�d On motion of Councilmember Larson, seconded by Councilmember wormser, the
alt report of the last Planning Commission meeting was unanimously acknowledged as
ij received,
Appeal - Commissian Review and Approval No. 615 - y
J. R. Evans and Associates
The Planning Commission denied an application for a 7,000 square foot multi-unit
)1� commercial retail and service store building on approximately 0.428 acres of land.
located on the south side of Redlands Boulevard, approximately 237 feet west of �I
Alabama Street, C-M Zone, The Planning Commission was concerned about the t
traffic safety, especially that this project might generate more traffic than the
Kragen project because there is a potential for seven shops, as opposed to two. 1,
They were also concerned that the new location for the driveway onto Redlands
Boulevard will cause people to make unsafe left-hand turns from the westbound
s s
'y
through lane on Redlands Boulevard around the end of the existing median. The
�- Traffic Commission reviewed the Redlands Boulevard driveway and various median
alternatives at its meeting on October 26, 1.989. They agreed with staff that the
ql median should be extended by the developer approximately 120 feet to the west to i
�i prevent left-hand turns. An appeal to the Planning Commission's decision to deny o
r,
this application was filed in a timely manner and this was the time and place set for )
the hearing on the appeal. Mayor Beswick declared the meeting open as a public
hearing for this appeal. Int
Planning Commissioner Jan Nicks explained the Planning Commission's action. On
behalf of the applicant, Michael Atencio urged approval of the application and
informed Council they did not feel they should have to go beyond their property
line with the median. The applicant, L. Stephen Ridenour, J. R. Evans Company,
}§l asked Council to consider assistance on the median. There being no further ztFr
comments, the public hearing was declared closed. Noting that the Planning
Commission has not reviewed the recommendation of the Traffic Commission,
�( Councilmember Cunningham moved to remand this matter back to the Planningtt
Commission for their review of the new information with the understanding that if
the Planning Commission again denied the application, that the matter be set for
�s City Council appeal without an additional fee charged to the applicant. Motion
lj seconded by Councilmember Larson and carried unanimously.

X.
This matter was continued from the meeting of October 17, 1989. The Southern f

therefore, no action was necessary at this time.

CDBG The City Council allocated $22,179.00 in Community Development Block Grant
Budget (CDBG) funds in fiscal year 1988-89 to assist in establishing the East Valley

of a full-time Information and Referral Manager. The following year, Council
approved additional CDBG funding for this program for the addition of a part-time
dam. assistant. The United 1,7ay of Redlands Area, CDBG grant applicant and lead
agency for the East Valley Information and Referral Service, is now requesting to
change their proposal by adding a full-time assistant instead of a part-time a
assistant. Staff recommends that Council stay with their original approval of 1.5
staff persons for this rogram for fiscal year 1989-90. Should the United Way wish
