from previous Council Meetings at the request of the applicant, Mr. Harry L. 15 1 Keiffer, all three decisions, or recommendations, of the Planning Commission. Mr. Aguilera continued that during a previous Planning Commission meeting, Mr. Keiffer appealed the Staff requirement of an Environmental Impact Report for Tentative Tract No. 9674, however, the Planning Commission upheld Staff's deci- sion to require an EIR for this project due to the number of possible impacts upon the environment, and the decision to require an EIR thereby rendered his Tentative Tract application incomplete and could not be heard or processed by the Commission as per State law. Mr. Aguilera conluded Staff recommends that Index No. A-6-81, zone amendment, be sent back to the Planning Commission for further study in view of the fact that the new General Plan has been adopted, that the Environmental Impact Report Appeal be denied on the grounds that the City is required to follow State law under the California Environmental Quality Act, and that Tentative Tract No. 9674 be denied since it is an incomplete application until the required EIR is submitted. Mayor Gonzales asked if anyone desired to speak on this matter. Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to terminate the Public Hearing. Unanimous vote. Mayor Gonzales asked what was Council's desire on Resolution No. 4169. Councilwoman Cisneros referred to a Mailgram from Mr. Harry L. Keiffer requesting CEJ a continuance on this matter, stating she felt the continuance should be granted. Q Councilwoman Garcia said a continuance on this matter has been granted several times Q now, and she felt the matter should be settled. Councilman Rehrer said he would go along with the request for a continuance this time, but it would have to be the last. After additional discussion, Mayor Gonzales asked for a Roll Call Vote on the request from Mr. Harry L. Keiffer for a continuance of the Public Hearing on Planning Commis- sion Resolution No. 1010 to Tuesday, March 2, 1982, which was as follows: AYES: Three; Cisneros, Hayes, Rehrer.

City Clerk Ramos submitted the Affidavit of Publication and reported that a letter of protest had been received from James S. and Zona Appleby. Planning Director Aguilera reported that this zone amendment concerns the prezoning of property commonly known as the Agua Mansa Cemetery area from M-1, light manufac- turing, City of Rialto, to P.F., public facility, City of Colton, which is required as the final steps of the annexation procedure with the Local Agency Formation Com- mission. Mr. Aguilera advised the Cities of Colton and Rialto have negotiated for an exchange of territory that will result in returning a historical landmark, the Agua Mansa Cemetery, to the City of Colton and, in return, provide for a more logical delivery of City of Rialto municipal services. Mr. Aguilera continued the proposed change of zone to Public Facility would render -- these properties in conformance to the Colton General Plan requirement for public, quasi -public designation and, once given this zone change, the properties should be compatible with the surrounding uses. Mr. Aguilera advised an Environmental Review has been conducted and a Negative Declaration has been issued by the Local Agency Formation Commission. Mr. Aguilera stated the Planning Commission, at a public hearing held January 12, 1982, reviewed and studied this matter and recommended approval of the prezoning as outlined in Planning Commission Resolution No. 1013. Mr. Aguilera concluded Staff would recommend First Reading of Ordinance No. 1615. Mayor Gonzales asked if anyone present desired to speak in favor of or in opposition to this matter. Mr. James S.
