Mr. Aguilera concluded since the road has been dedicated to the City and will serve as access to residences located within the City, Staff recom- mends approval of Resolution No. R-66-91, initiating the proceedings for LAFCO NO. 2681. Mr. Larry Johnson, 11930 Reche Canyon Road, Colton, spoke in opposition to the proposed annexation, stating there is no need for an additional road at that location, and this matter needs to be given more considera- tion. Moved by Mayor Gonzales, seconded by Councilman Rehrer, to adopt Reso- lution No. R-66-91. Before the voting, Councilwoman Cisneros stated that City Manager Stratton had some questions about this issue and was requesting it be referred back to Staff. Mayor Gonzales stated he would withdraw his motion. Coucilman Rehrer stated he would withdraw his second. Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Roman, to refer annexation proceedings of Peppertree Lane in Reche Canyon, LAFCO NO. 2681, back to Staff for review. Unanimous vote. CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Agua Mansa Enterprise Zone Economic Development Director Zamora reported in 1989, AB 251 was ap- proved in the State Legislature allowing existing State -designated En- terprise Zones to expand zone areas by 15%. Although the 15% expansion is a one-time provision by the State, the entire expansion effort does not need to take place at once, but can be completed in increments over the life of the Zone; however, the City cannot exceed 241.95 total acres. Regulations also provide that zoning of the area be commercial or industrial and that boundaries be contiguous to the existing zone and continuous. Mr. Zamora continued Southern Pacific Transportation Company has pro- posed an intermediate running repair locomotive facility to be located south of the I-10 at Sycamore Avenue. The proposed site, consisting of 22.42 acres, is adjacent to but not within the boundaries of the Agua Mansa Enterprise Zone. It is zoned heavy industrial and is contiguous to the zone boundaries. The company has formally requested, before the AMIGA Executive Board, that the City of Colton consider expansion of its Enterprise Zone boundaries to include proposed project areas. Mr. Zamora stated the proposed project consists of a 100,000 square foot structure, which will more adequately accommodate the changing requirements of the Railroad's locomotive servicing operation than does the existing arrangement at the plant in Los Angeles. Total investment in the project is $26 Million, and construction completion is antici- pated in September or October, 1992. 5 NL 2 14% 1991
