366 ORDINANCE NO. 1649 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF COLTON AMENDING First Reading ORDINANCE NO. 1602, AS AMENDED, AND PROVIDING FOR CERTAIN ZONE RECLASSIFICATIONS. City Manager Elliott entered the Council Chambers at 7:50 p. m. Zoning Ord. No. 1650 Mayor Huntoon declared the Public Hearing open. Deputy City Clerk Veralrud submitted the Affidavit of Publication and reported that no protests or objections had been received. Planning Director Aguilera reported on a change of zone, from RE to RE/PC, on property containing approximately 142 acres of vacant, hilly terrain located approximately 500 feet south of Westwood, com- mencing at Reche Canyon Raod and continuing west for approximately 8,000 feet. The engineer for the applicant has indicated that the proposed use for the site is the development of 284 detached, single- family dwellings, however, no development plans have been submitted at this time. The Planned Community overlay will allow the appli- cant to vary from the Zoning Ordinance development standards and will allow the applicant to transfer densities. The variations would be subject to the approval of the Planning Commission during the re- view of the required tentative tract. Mr. Aguilera advised that at the Public Hearing, August 9, 1983, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the zone change request as outlined in Planning Commission Resolution No. 1085, and, if Council concurs, it would be in order to consider First Reading of Ordinance No. 1650. Mayor Huntoon asked if anyone present desired to speak on this matter. Speaking in opposition to the Zone Change, because the majority of residents in Reche Canyon want to retain a rural type atmosphere, they are concerned about overcrowding of homes in the Canyon, creat- ing water problems, traffic and fire hazards, impaction of schools, and they would like to maintain a low density, single family state, were the following: Mr. Gene McMeans, 12004 Glenwood, Colton. Mrs. Gerry Farris, 7841 Reche Canyon Road, Colton. Speaking in favor of the Zone Change and proposed project were the following: Mr. Joseph E. Bonadiman, 606 East Mill Street, San Bernardino. Mr. Vandiver, 577 D Street, San Bernardino. Mr. John Theodorou, 8950 Reche Canyon Road, Colton. Mr. Bonadiman added that the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance do allow for the density and number of units proposed. Mr. Bonadiman stated that once the plans have been prepared for this project, they will have to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and Staff, and they would be required to provide the proper utilities, grading, traffic control, etc. Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilwoman Cisneros, the Public Hearing was terminated. Unanimous vote. Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Rios, to waive full reading and pass First Reading of Ordinance No. 1650.
