large scope of the Plan, it is not known why this property was reclassified, 2 5 a reating a break in the General Commercial continuity along Washington Street. Mr. Aguilera advised the Planning Commission has considered the entire frontage along Washington Street as part of this request in order to better assess the situation. The zoning from the intersection of Barton Road and Washington Street west along the south side of Washington is C-2, and this same zoning continues westerly from the property for approximately 1,000 feet. It is the Commission's opinion that the General Plan was incorrect in interjecting a residential designation among viable commercial uses and zones, therefore, it seems appropriate to reclassify the area consistent with the surrounding classification of General Commercial. Mr. Aguilera concluded if Council concurs, adoption of Resolution No. 4246 would be in order. Mayor Huntoon asked if anyone in the audience desired to speak on this matter. Mr. John Olero spoke in support of the General Plan Amendment and zoning. Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilwoman Garcia, to terminate the Public Hearing. Unanimous vote. Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilwoman Garcia, to approve RESOLUTION NO. 4246. Unanimous vote. General Plan Housing Element Mayor Huntoon declared the Public Hearing open. City Clerk Ramos submitted the Affidavit of Publication and reported that no protests or objections had been received. Mr. Aguilera advised the California Planning law requires that all cities and counties have an adopted Housing Element which conforms to the 1977 Housing Element Guidelines or the new statutory requirements of Article 10.6, Section 65580, et seq., of the Government Code. Statutory and case law have made it clear that local governments in California may not legally approve rezonings, new subdivisions, or public works projects in the absence of a complete and legally adequate General Plan. A General --. Plan that lacks a Housing Element is not legally adequate. Mr. Aguilera continued in order to conform to the requirements of State law, Staff has prepared the attached Housing Element, and if approved by the City Council, the Housing Element will be submitted for review and comments to the State Office of Planning and Research. The State will then have 90 days to comment on our submit- tal. Whether the State comments or not, the City can then adopt the Housing Element, and it will be officially incorporated into Colton's General Plan. Mr. Aguilera concluded if the Council concurs with the Planning Commission's recom- mendation, a motion to instruct Staff to submit the City's Housing Element of the General Plan to the State Office of Planning and Research.
