INITIAL LIMITATION ON APPLICABILITY OF ORDINANCE a. Because in the development of this ordinance and the City' s Historical and Scenic Preservation Element to its General Plan, competing interests were so forcefully urged at several hearings by residents and property owners; and Ordinance No . 1863 Page three - 52. 10 (1) 21 b. Because these competing interests include (1) preservation of existing unique residences vs. preservation of existing highly-valued residential neighborhoods, (2) the right of financial returns on their investments vs. the right of adjacent residential property owners to the full anticipated enjoyment of their homes and neighborhoods, and (3) the interests of the commercial and development sectors of our local economy in marketing increased participation in Redlands ' unique ambiance, tradition and the quality of life vs. the interests of existing single family zone residents in nurturing and protecting those unique attributes so that they are not overburdened and irrevocably lost both to old and new citizens of Redlands; and C . Because in checking with other cities around California with similar preservation and growth opportunities, city staff has determined that the allowing of a use such as the one established in this ordinance in a single family residential zone is uncommon, but that such a use is much more often permitted in multiple family residential and commercial zones; d. This Council finds that the uses permitted by this ordinance are both so potentially valuable and so potentially intrusive that a geographically limited test program before implementation of this ordinance on a citywide basis would be in the best interests of the City, its residents and its property owners. e. Therefore, this ordinance shall be in effect in the following zones; C-B C-M R-2 C-1 M-P R-2-2000 C-2 M-1 R-3 C-3 M-F A-P C-4 M-2 1--P This paragraph 4 shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission and the City Council one year after the first application approved by the City Council hereunder. {ordinance No. 1863 Page four - 52. 10 (1) SECTION TWO: This ordinance shall be in force and take effect as provided by law.
