<br />Mr. Aguilera continued the applicant's property is zoned R-1, which
<br />allows 7,200 square foot lots. The approved Tentative Tract contains
<br />looms averaging 10,000 square feet, and the applicant would like to
<br />make a change to reduce the size of the lots to 7,200 square feet,
<br />thereby increasing the number of lots from 20 to 27.
<br />Mr. Aguilera advised the Planning Commission held a public hearing on
<br />this matter, August 28, 1984, at which time several surrounding prop-
<br />erty owners protested the change and, because the majority of the sur-
<br />rounding properties contain lots larger than what the applicant wishes
<br />to create, the Planning Commission agreed with the adjacent residents
<br />^ and denied the request. The applicant appealed this decision, which
<br />brought the matter before the City Council.
<br />Mr. Aguilera concluded if the City Councilagrees with Planning Com-
<br />mission Resolution No. 2020, recommending denial, adoption of Resolu-
<br />tion No. 4512 would be in order.
<br />Mayor Huntoon asked if anyone present desired to speak in favor of this
<br />matter.
<br />Mr. Philip E. Brown, of Brown and Mullins, Inc., 2150 North Arrowhead
<br />Avenue, San Bernardino, stated the developer, Nibko & Associates, wish
<br />to change the number of lots in this tract from 20 to 27, reducing the
<br />square footage per lot to 7,200, which is permitted in an R-1 zone.
<br />Mr. Brown stated this change will effect a reduction in the per lot
<br />Q cost, which will make for more affordable housing at a more reason-
<br />able price. Mr. Brown stated the development will be fully improved
<br />Q with new and wider streets, sewer and water, curb and gutter, etc.
<br />Mr. Brown advised that the developer has other projects in the area
<br />that are attractive and doing well.
<br />Councilwoman Cisneros stated that she has received many phone calls
<br />about this development, and there seems to be clot of misunderstand-
<br />ing and concerns from the surrounding property owners.
<br />^ Mayor Huntoon asked if anyone desired to speak in opposition to this
<br />matter.
<br />Speaking in opposition to the proposed development were the follow-
<br />ing, stating the project was not compatible or consistent with the
<br />surrounding residences, the residents wanted to keep the 10,006
<br />square foot lot size that is predominant in that area, and they
<br />did not feel the development would be beneficial to the City:
