A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS
ESTABLISHING GUIDELINES FOR ALTERATION OF PROJECTS APPROVED
PURSUANT TO PROPOSITION "R" AND ORDINANCE NO 1788
WHEREAS, on November 7, 1978, the voters of the
City of Redlands approved an initiative ordinance entitled
Proposition "R" to moderate the rate of growth within the
City to preserve the City's unique environment and
character, and
WHEREAS, Proposition "R" prescribes a program to
limit major subdivision residential development to 450
dwelling units each calendar year through the competitive
evaluation of applications, and requires the City to
prepare and adopt a procedure for such competitive
evaluation, and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the directive contained
in Proposition "R," the City has enacted Ordinance No 1788
providing for the competitive evaluation of projects by
the assignment of points in a number of categories by
City staff, the Planning Commission and the Redlands
Unified School District, and further providing for subse-
quent award of development allocations by the City Council,
and
WHEREAS, Ordinance No 1788 states that a project
submitted for allocations may not be altered prior to
receiving allocations, but is silent as to whether a
project which has already received allocations may later
be altered in any respect, and
WHEREAS, this City Council believes that guidelines
should be available to allow a developer who has already
received development allocations to alter his project in
a manner which would not have resulted in the assignment of
fewer points if the alteration had been incorporated into
the approved application for development allocations, and
that such guidelines would further the purposes set forth
in Proposition "R", and
WHEREAS, Ordinance No 1788 also states that its
provisions may be implemented by resolution to further the
purposes set forth in Proposition "R",
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of Redlands as follows
SECTION ONE Following receipt of development
allocations, the developer of an approved project may file
an application with the City Planning Department for authori-
zation to alter the project in any manner which would not
have resulted in the assignment of fewer points if the
alteration had been incorporated into the approved application
for development allocations as originally submitted Such
application shall be accompanied by an application fee of $500
SECTION TWO Upon receipt of an application to
alter an approved project, the Planning Department shall
determine which point categories addressed in Ordinance
No 1788 might have been affected if the requested
alteration had been incorporated as part of the approved
application for development allocations as originally sub-
mitted, and whether the Planning Department, the Planning
Commission or the Redlands Unified School District is
responsible for assigning points in those categories The
Planning Department shall reassign points in all affected
categories which are subject to assignment by the Planning
Department If the Planning Department finds that the requested
alteration might have affected the assignment of points in any
category subject to assignment by either the Planning Commis-
sion or the Redlands Unified School District, the Planning
Department shall refer the application to either or both of
those assigning bodies for a similar determination regarding
each of the categories subject to their review and assignment
of points
SECTION THREE The Planning Department, Planning
Commission or Redlands Unified School District, as the case
may be, shall report in writing to the City Council any
change in the assignment of points in any category addressed
by Ordinance No 1788 If the City Council determines that
the project as revised would have received fewer total points
than the project originally approved, then the City Council
shall deny the application to alter the approved project
SECTION FOUR If the Planning Department, Planning
Commission or Redlands Unified School District, as the case
may be, determines that the project would not have received
fewer total points if the requested alteration had been
incorporated into the approved application for development
allocations as originally submitted, the City Council may
elect to approve the application for alteration of the project
if it determines that such alteration will further the purposes
set forth in Proposition "R "
