Mr. Aguilera advised that at this point, there is nothing that the City can do, be - 27 8 cause the General Plan, which was approved and adopted by the City Council, does designate this area as agricultural and State law prohibits the zoning of property that is contrary to what is stated in a General Plan. Mr. Aguilera said the General Plan can be amended at a later date, however, at this point it would have to remain as is. Discussion then followed among Council Members and Staff with regard to the exist- ing General Plan designation and the prezoning designation as recommended, wherein Councilwoman Garcia and Councilmen Rehrer and Rios felt the Council should abide by the existing General Plan and Staff's recommendations at this point, and later amend the General Plan; Mayor Huntoon and Councilwoman Cisneros felt the prezoning should now be changed to industrial. Moved by Councilman Rios, seconded by Councilwoman Garcia, the Public Hearing was terminated. Unanimous vote. Moved by Councilwoman Garcia, seconded by Councilman Rios, to waive full reading and pass First Reading of Ordinance No. 1634. Unanimous vote. ORDINANCE NO. 1634 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF COLTON AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1602, First Reading AS AMENDED, AND PROVIDING FOR CERTAIN ZONE RECLASSIFICATIONS. Discussion then followed with regard to the General Plan as it now reads and possible future review. Moved by Councilman Rios, seconded by Councilwoman Cisneros, to initiate a General Plan review of the property in question owned by Mr. Singletary. Councilman Rehrer asked if this review pertained to the entire General Plan, or just the area discussed this evening. Councilman Rios responded that he was talking about Mr. Singletary's property. Councilwoman Garcia then asked if the other properties surrounding Mr. Singletary would also be included in this review, or other areas of the General Plan, because she felt if the Council was going to make a review of the General Plan, it should be done in its entirity, and not "piece meal". Mrs. Garcia felt this matter should be turned over to Staff and let them come back with a recommendation. Councilman Rehrer stated that he was in agreement with Councilwoman Garcia because there are probably other property owners in the City with a similar problem, and this should be handled by Staff. Planning and Building Director Aguilera stated the area in question is south of Agua Mansa Road and east of Riverside Avenue, the properties along this area, both in the City and in the sphere of influence of the City and, in keeping with Council- man Rios' motion, Staff would have to look at surrounding properties as a matter of course because we cannot create spot zoning or spot General Plan designation. Mr. Aguilera said he agrees with the concept, that the City should review that area, and Staff needs direction from the Council to review the area south of Agua Mansa Road and east of Riverside Avenue. Councilman Rios stated he would include this in his motion, and Councilwoman Cisneros stated she was in agreement, for the second. Mayor Huntoon then asked for a Roll Call Vote on the motion, which was as follows: AYES: Three; Rios, Cisneros, Huntoon. NOES: Two; Rehrer, Garcia. ABSENT: None. Motion carried. City Attorney Edwards asked if it was Council's intent to then refund the fees to Mr. Singletary and, if so, Staff would need direction in this regard. Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Rios, authorizing and ap- proving refund of fees to Mr. Gaylor W. Singletary for application of General Plan Amendment. Upon Roll Call, the Vote was: AYES: Three; Rios, Cisneros, Huntoon. NOES: Two; Rehrer, Garcia. ABSENT: None. Motion carried. 'J N, < IN3
