1'7 9 City Manager Calabrese reported on a letter dated November 22, 1978, from Harry G. Andrews, Attorney at Law, expressing his disappointment that the City of Colton has denied the Legal Clinic the privilege to carry on their legal services to the community at the new Center, as they had been doing at the other Multi -Service Center in South Colton. Councilman Rehrer stated that no one has been denied the use of the Centers, how- ever, neither Center has been opened or is ready for occupancy. Mrs. Bea Hernandez, Director of the Multi -Service Center, stated she would appreciate the City Council clarifying this matter, as she did not want anyone making statements that the City is denying any group the use of these Centers.

(1� Mr. Gonzales advised that the recommendation of the Planning Commission is approval of Planning Commission Resolution No. 884 and proceed with Second Reading of Ordi- nance No. 1545. Mr. Gene McMeans, 12004 Glenwood, and Mr. Bill Lembrecht, of Westwood Avenue, spoke to the City Council opposing the zone change and the proposed development, stating it is very important that the City of Colton support the Reche Canyon residents in their petition opposing this matter, as the County denied the residents' request op- posing a similar project near Westwood Avenue and have approved the development. Both opponents stressed that the residents of the Canyon want to retain the rural type atmosphere and country living they now enjoy. Mrs. Claire Jean Smith, 11794 Reche Canyon Road, spoke in favor of the zone change and proposed development, stating that no one has the right to impede growth and progress, or deny an individual the right to develop his own property. Mr. Bill Truscott, Vice -President of Montecito Memorial Park, stated the proposed development will not have a detrimental effect on the Canyon, and will be an asset to the City. Mr. Truscott said if the Council Members had any question about the development or property, he would be happy to answer them. Councilman Rehrer stated that in all fairness to the developer, and in lieu of the County's decision approving that development on their land, he felt this zone change request and the proposed project should be approved.
