35'8 Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Rios, to close the public hearing. Unanimous vote. Moved by Councilwoman Garcia to consider and approve Planning Commis- sion Resolution Nos. 1064, 1065, 1066, 1067, 1070, 1074 and 1075, and amend and/or consider the remainder of the Resolutions at a later date. Motion died for lack of a second. Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Mayor Huntoon, to approve the -" Planning Commission recommendations and First Reading of ORDINANCE NO. 1647, waiving full reading. Before the voting, Councilman Rios stated the solution to many of these problems and questions seems to be the completion of the Fogg Street Underpass, which would eliminate the majority of the heavy truck traffic through the residential areas. Mr. Rios suggested that the City do a crude, temporary job for the present time, just to make the Underpass usable. Mayor Huntoon stated that he agrees with Councilman Rios concerning the Fogg Street Underpass, and he felt the City could do some- thing of a temporary nature until we obtain the grant funds to com- plete the job. Mayor Huntoon then asked how we stand at the present time on this project. City Manager Elliott stated that first of all, the City would have to establish a fund to do a project of this kind on the Underpass. Mr. Elliott said, secondly, he had written a letter to Senator Ayala re- questing assistance on our grant application for the Fogg Street Underpass, to see if we could be moved on the list from 15th to a fundable position. Councilwoman Garcia stated although she felt the Fogg Street Under- pass was also an important item, the issue here this evening con- cerns the change of zones in various areas of South Colton that will effect both residential and industrial interests. Mrs. Garcia said she thought the intent of the General Plan was to clean up certain areas, eliminate spot zoning, and to use as a guideline in providing the community as a whole with a better place to live and work. Mrs. Garcia stated there are citizens that are worried about their homes and also citizens that are worried about their businesses, and she could not understand how upgrading the Fogg Street Underpass at this point was going to solve the existing problems of rezoning. Mrs. Garcia concluded she felt the City Council should take the priori- ties as they come, and settle the matter of rezoning. After additional discussion, Mayor Huntoon called for the question on the motion. Upon Roll Call, the Vote was as follows: AYES: Two; Huntoon, Rehrer. NOES: Three; Cisneros, Garcia, Rios. ABSENT: None. Motion did not carry. Councilman Rehrer then asked where does the City go from here, and where do we stand. Mayor Huntoon said that everything is status quo, it remains the same as it was before, the General Plan is not in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance or zoning maps. Planning Director Aguilera responded that was correct. Mrs. Yolanda Lopez, 789 West "F" Street, Colton, stated she would like to suggest to the City Council they consider developing a sub -commit- tee to work with Staff and the Planning Commission, in an effort to resolve some of these problems concerning the rezoning and amendments to the General Plan.
