PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Planning Commission.Actions -August 1.8, 2992 - On motion of Councilmember Larson, seconded by Councilmember Cunningham,the report of the last Planning Commission meeting was unanimously acknowledged as received. Smiley Park Historic Neighborhood-Heritage Specific Plan- Mr. Cunningham left the dias and did no participate in the discussion due to a possible conflict of interest. Community Development Director Shaw reminded Councilmembers that at its meetings on February 18, 1992, and May 19, 1992, it continued the hearing on designating Smiley Park Neighborhood as Historic District No. 8. The Council determined it was important to ensure that the proposed District did not conflict with the Heritage Specific Plan being prepared for the area. The Council requested an update on the Heritage Specific Plan and its relationship to the Smiley Park Neighborhood District and also inquired as to the District" potential impact on City-owned properties. The Heritage Specific Plan incorporates a larger area than the Smiley Park Neighborhood Historic District, although most of the Historic District is located within the Specific Plan Boundary. A Committee made up of representatives of businesses, churches, and residents in the area have been working with staff on preparing a draft specific plan. A key component of the plan will deal with the issue of parking. A parking survey was conducted in April and the analysis and recommendations from the survey are being prepared by Kunzman and Associates. It is anticipated that the parking-traffic report will be completed by the end of September. The recommendations from the report will then be reviewed and incorporated into the specific plan along with solutions to other issues in the area. Steve Long, a planning consultant, has been a key representative of the committee and will be putting together the draft plan in cooperation with staff. Staff estimated that it would take at least another 120 days before a final draft of the specific plan could be completed. The City-owned houses are scattered throughout the Smiley Park area adjacent to downtown Redlands. The area is linked by a unique linear park, Smiley Park, conataining facilities that make it the cultural focus of the City. Within the park boundaries are found the City Hall, the A.K. Smiley Public Library(listed on the National Register of Historic Places), the Lincoln Memorial Shrine, the Redlands Bowl (outdoor amphitheater), and senior citizen roque and shuffle-board courts. Surrounding the park on neighborhood streets are the Joslyn. Senior Center, Post Office, Contemporary Club and churches (dating from the earliest days of the City). The City of Redlands is the largest single landowner in the area with its public park land and thirteen residential structures. On behalf of the residents in favor of this designation, Jon Harrison urged the City Council to approve the Smiley Park Historic and Scenic District with the following modifications: retain original district boundaries; include all properties within the district boundaries except: 1.1 Grant Street, 32 South Eureka Street, 126 Grant Street, 128 Grant Street, 168 South Eureka Street, 1.72 South Eureka Street, 180 South Eureka Street, 245 Grant Street, 247 Grant Street, 307 Grant Street, 31.6 Grant Street, 36 South Eureka Street, 40 South Eureka Street and 440 South Eureka Street; include publicly maintained areas (cut stone curbs, street trees, street lights)which front the excluded properties; require a certificate of appropriateness as defined in Chapter 2.62 of the Redlands Municipal Code for any moving, demolition, or new construction of replacement structures on the excluded properties; and include the following properties owned by the City of Redlands: 154 South Fourth Street, 120 West Olive Avenue, 320 West Olive Avenue, 185 South Eureka Street, 136 Grant Street and 114 West Vine Street. Mr. Harrison also urged the City Council to continue preparation of the Heritage Specific Plan and the traffic study. Councilmember Milson moved to adopt Resolution No. 4836, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redlands designating Historic and Scenic District No. 8 (Smiley Park Neighborhood) with the revisions presented by Mr. Harrison. Motion seconded by Councilmember Larson and carried by the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers Larson, Milson; Mayor DeMirjyn NOES: Councilmember Foster who preferred to wait until the specific plan was completed. ABSTAIN: Councilmember Cunningham I-10 Landscaping- Community Development Director Shaw reminded Councilmembers that the City was awarded a grant for funding landscaping of the new I-10/State Route 30 Interchange in Redlands. The original grant proposal was $589,000 and$450,000 was awarded. In addition to this funding, staff has been negotiating with Caltrans and SANBAG in obtaining and additional$290,000 of the 1993-94 STIP funding to make up the shortfall within the interchange and expand the landscaping along the I-10 Freeway to California Street. At the same time staff contacted Stan Chapman and subsequently Community National Corporation as possibly expanding the boundaries of the project all the way to Mountain View. The advantages of receiving funds now and installing the landscaping within the next year is that the landscaping will be enjoyed for a longer period of time and will mature while the area is developing. Also under the agreement Caltrans would agree to maintain the landscaping. The drawback is that the landscaping may not be as substantial as if it were installed with each individual project. The City currently has a letter from Chapman Investment Company and an indication of interest from Community National Corporation. If the City Council agrees with the concept, staff will continue to negotiate with Caltrans to prepare plans and install landscaping from California to Mountain View. Councilmember Larson moved to authorize staff to negotiate with Caltrans to expand freeway landscaping from California Street to Mountain View utilizing funds from the Chapman Investment Company and Community National Corporation and return the proposal for City Council consideration and action. Motion seconded by Councilmember Milson and carried unanimously.

Mr. Shaw and Community Services Director Rodriguez presented the alternate on-site locations which have been reviewed. Councilmember Larson moved to construct the Senior Nutrition Multi-Purpose Center at its original proposed location, attached to the southerly end of the Community Center.
