A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
REDLANDS RELATING TO THE PROCEDURE FOR
ISSUANCE OF CITY BUILDING PERMITS
WHEREAS, in 1987, the voters of the City of Redlands
approved an initiative ordinance to moderate the rate of growth
within the City to preserve the City' s unique environment and
character (Measure "N") ; and
WHEREAS, Section 4 of Measure "N" provides in part that
residential development within the City shall be limited to 400
dwelling units per calendar year in any given year; and
WHEREAS, in February of 1988, the City Council of the
City of Redlands ("this City Council") adopted Resolution No. 4350
establishing criteria for determining whether a development project
was "vested" under the requirements of Measure "N" and therefore
exempt from the Measure's annual limitation on the issuance of
building permits; and
WHEREAS, in 1989, this City Council adopted Ordinance No.
2031 which established an interim procedure for the allocation of
building permits to nonvested residential development projects by
setting aside a certain number of building permits on a monthly
basis for such development projects to assure a continuous supply
of housing for Redlands ' citizens and to protect the reasonable
development expectations of landowners filing for land use
approvals and entitlements within the City; and

DJM32423
WHEREAS, in connection with the adoption of Ordinance No.
2031, the City Council directed the City's Community Development
Department to establish a policy to facilitate the orderly issuance
of building permits until the development community became familiar
with the requirements of Measure "N; " and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department
subsequently established an interim policy whereby building permits
for nonvested development projects consisting of five dwelling
units or more would be allocated on a quarterly basis dependent
upon the project's compliance with the criteria set forth in the
memorandum attached hereto as Exhibit "A; " and
WHEREAS, the establishment of this interim policy created
a "line" of residential development projects that await the
issuance of building permits when they become available each
quarter, and
WHEREAS, over the past three years since the adoption of
Measure "N, " the pace of residential development within the City
has slackened, thereby reducing the demand for building permits;
and
WHEREAS, at its last quarterly allocation of building
permits for 1990, the Community Development Department followed its
interim policy for issuing permits and was informed by each
developer eligible for permits that, because of fiscal or other
constraints, none were in a position at that time (or would be in
the near future) to secure and use building permits; and

DJ1432423
WHEREAS, this City Council finds and determines (1) that
the development community has become familiar with, and adjusted
its development practices to, the requirements of Measure "N, " thus
eliminating the need for an interim policy governing the issuance
of building permits; (2) that given the anticipated pace of
residential development over the next few years, the most orderly,
efficient and economical process for issuing building permits
within the City is on a "first-come, first-served" basis for any
residential development project consisting of five units or more;
and (3) that elimination of the interim policy for issuing building
permits will not adversely impact the reasonable development
expectations of any developers with project proposals pending with
the City; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 2038 further provides that the
City' s interim process establishing a monthly set aside requirement
for building permits for nonvested projects may be changed or
deleted entirely by subsequent Council resolution if the pace of
development so requires;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Redlands as follows:
SECTION 1. The interim policy established by the City's
Community Development Department for issuance of building permits
to nonvested residential development projects consisting of five
units or more is hereby terminated, and such projects shall be
eligible for building permits on a "first-come, first-served" basis

MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGER
FROM: CITY ATTORNEY
RE: PROCEDURES FOR ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS
Pursuant to your direction at your last Council meeting,
we have prepared the attached resolution which would end the
interim process established by the Community Development Department
for the issuance of building permits for large residential
development projects (those consisting of five units or more) . If
this resolution is adopted, these development projects will be
eligible for building permits on a "first-come, first-served" basis
in accordance with the City's process that existed prior to the
adoption of the Measure "N. " You should know that the adoption of
this resolution does not affect the number of permits available on
an annual basis for large development projects nor the present
number of building permits set aside for single family residences,
duplexes, triplexes and mobile homes.
