Community Development Director Aguilera reported on the Appeal filed by Kencor Corporation on the Planning Commission denial of File Index No. DC -65-90 and the Design and Architectural Review of 61 Condominium Units. Mr. Aguilera advised the proposed development is located on Canyon Vista Drive, west of Reche Canyon Road, on 11.6 acres of vacant, graded, mostly flat terrain, in an R-E/PC zone, and will contain 61 townhouse units with a total density of 1.8 units per acre. Mr. Aguilera continued this project was approved by the City Council in 1982 and was not changed in 1987 when the new General Plan was adopted, and was graded in 1988, allowing the site to exist. Mr. Aguilera stated the current homeowners in the area were made aware of this project prior to the purchase of their homes. Mr. Aguilera stated the architecture of this project is of excellent quality and the site plan is of superior design quality; the proposed project is in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance and is consistent with the General Plan, and compatible to its surroundings. This pro- posal has been issued a Negative Declaration. Mr. Aguilera said Staff concludes that approval of this project will be "grandfathered" into the Specific Plan as other preapproved projects will be. Mr. Aguilera concluded the only action necessary by the City Council this evening is for approval of the design and architectural review. Mr. Aguilera said should there be a denial on any other grounds than design and architectural review, the owner/developer would have the alternative of taking legal action due to his vested rights in the property. Mayor Gonzales asked if anyone present desired to speak on the design and architectural review only for this project. Speaking in opposition to the proposed project and the design and archi- tectural review were - because of the increase in traffic which is al- ready a serious problem; overcrowded school conditions; proper ingress or egress has not been provided; design is not consistent with surround- ing area and does not blend in; density and size of lots is incompat- ible with the Canyon; the Planning Commission voted this project down: George Fulp, 1497 Cindee Lane, Colton Alicia Jackson, 3030 Canyon Vista Drive, Colton Patricia Pinkney, 3039 Prado Lane, Colton Roger Heinrich, 3034 Canyon Vista Drive, Colton Robert Sparks, 3029 Prado Lane, Colton Key Sup Hong, 3012 Canyon Vista Drive, Colton Mr. Mike Kent, representing Crestwood Corporation, 333 Foothill Boule- vard, Glendora, spoke in favor of the project, stating Staff checked all phases of their proposal and they have agreed to adhere to all of the City's regulations and rules. Mr. Kent stated the only decision he remembers the Planning Commission making with regard to their project was they felt it would be incompatible. 'DEC 1 8 19W 5
