AN EXTENDED INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE PROHIBITING
DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS IN SOUTHEAST REDLANDS UNTIL
ADOPTION OF PENDING SPECIFIC PLAN
WHEREAS,, California Government Code Section 65858 allows this
,
City Council, after making certain findings, to adopt as an urgency
measure an interim ordinance prohibiting any land uses which may be
in conflict with a contemplated specific plan; and
WHEREAS, this City Council has contracted for and is awaiting
the preparation of a specific plan for the Southeast Redlands area
as delineated in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference, which specific plan is due to be
completed in October, 1987 and set immediately thereafter for
public hearings and possible adoption; and
WHEREAS, the circulation, drainage, sewage disposal, fire
flow, and water supply problems in this southeast area remain
sufficient to amount to threats to the public health and safety and
the general welfare; and
WHEREAS, this City Council has enacted two previous urgency
ordinances (Ordinances No. 1959 and 1963) to prohibit development
approvals in this area pending preparation and adoption of this
specific plan; and
WHEREAS, it now appears that certain minor exceptions can be
e
made 'to these prohibitions without damaging the City' s ongoing
planning effort, the environment, or the public health, safety or
general welfare of our citizens;
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS does ordain as
follows:
SECTION ONE: This Council finds that the traffic and circu-
lation problems in our Southeast Redlands area, the lack of a
master plan for a drainage system and a sewer collection system
there, the inadequate water pressures for meeting minimum fire flow
requirements in that area, and the need for an additional water
source to serve that area, taken together, amount to a current and
immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare. This
Council further finds that the approval of additional subdivisions,
use permits, variances, building permits, or any other developments
or use entitlements would result in a threat to public health,
safety or welfare.
SECTION TWO: Any uses which may be in conflict with the
contemplated Southeast Redlands Specific Plan remain prohibited.
Therefore, no new subdivisions, zone changes, use permits,
variances, or other discretionary entitlement for use shall be
approved within the Southeast Redlands area. Further, except as
provided in Section Three, no new building permits shall be issued
within the Southeast Redlands area.
SECTION THREE: This ordinance shall not prevent the issuance
of a 'building permit for a structure which otherwise meets all City
laws and regulations and is to be built on a parcel which
-2-
(a) requires no subdivision of property by the County of San
Bernardino, (b) is already served by immediately adjacent domestic
water , (c) is adjacent to existing development on at least one
abutting property line, (d) is located on an improved City street,
and (e) is at least ten acres in size. This ten acre minimum is
established because in the judgment and discretion of this Council
it is the smallest size parcel likely to be consistent with any
reasonable future use to be imposed by the new Specific Plan.
SECTION FOUR: This urgency ordinance shall go into effect
immediately and shall be of no further force and effect one year
from its date of adoption pursuant to State law.
SECTION FIVE: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption
of this ordinance and cause it to be published once each week for
three successive weeks in the Redlands Daily Facts. a newspaper of
general circulation printed and published in the City of Redlands.
ADOPTED this 2nd day of June, 1987 .
