PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Private Walkway - Ed Hales Park - Community Development Director Shaw reported the City Council considered a request on April 16, 2002, from the owners of thebuilding at 109 East State Street to modify their building by the addition of a doorway and walkway to provide access into the building from the Ed Hales Park. The City Council indicated it would be appropriate to receive feedback from the Parks Commission, Planning Commission and the Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission before proceeding with any action on this request. On March 14, 2002, the Parks Commission reviewed the proposal and had no significant concerns and recommended the proposal be approved as submitted. On May 2, 2002, the Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission reviewed the proposal and recommended the City Council deny the proposal as submitted; however, if the applicant does move forward, they would prefer the entrance be on the alley and have a contemporary design and that the sidewalk be oriented to the alley, not the park. On May 14 and June 25, 2002, the Planning Commission recommended the proposal be denied as submitted and only be approved if the entrance is on the alley side. Since the City owns the park, allowing access may limit the City's ability to close or use a portion of the park in the future. If the City Council approves the entrance on the park side, there may be some legal issues that will need to be resolved. If the entrance is on the alley side, then there is no City Council action needed and the applicant would only need a building permit. Bill Cloud, the applicant's representative, was present to answer questions. Councilmembers felt the rear access from the alley seemed most appropriate. Councilmember Haws moved to deny the project as proposed by the applicant. Motion seconded by Councilmember George and carried unanimously. Sign Code Update - Community Development Director Shaw reported the last major comprehensive update of the Redlands Sign Code was completed in 1998. Subsequent to that update, several smaller amendments have been processed. A couple of years ago, the Chamber of Commerce initiated a review of the Sign Code based on concerns of businesses. A list of proposed amendments was developed to address a variety of issues. Workshops and a formal Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment was processed through the Planning Commission last year. On August 28, 2001, the Planning Commission completed their evaluation and forwarded the proposed amendment to the City Attorney for drafting of a revised Sign Code. The City Attorney has been preparing a revised Sign Code based upon the recommendations of the Planning Commission and also to place the Sign Code on firm legal ground.
