No. 1545 Planning Director Gonzales reported on a zone change application requested by Montecito Memorial Park, Index No. A-4-78, to change the zone from R -E to R-14 on property located south of Barton Road, between the San Bernardino Flood Con- trol Channel and Reche'Canyon Road. Mr. Gonzales said this item is being continued from a previous Council Meeting, and reiterated reports and comments made at previous Planning Commission hear- ings and Council Meetings, advising that the Planning Commission maintains its recommendation for approval of Planning Commission Resolution No. 884 and second reading of Ordinance No. 1545. Mr. Gene McMeans, 12004 Glenwood, Reche Canyon, and an unidentified resident of Reche Canyon spoke in opposition to the proposed zone change, due to the increase in traffic that would be generated by this proposed development, and because the Canyon residents want to keep the rural -type atmosphere they now enjoy. Mr. Bill Truscott, Vice -President of Montecito Memorial Park, spoke in favor of the zone change request and proposed development, and stated if the Council Members had any questions, he would be happy to answer them. Councilman Rehrer questioned an 80 acre parcel of County land in that area, and asked if the residents of Reche Canyon knew what the County intends to do with it, as he understood the County is considering a 101 unit development on this parcel. Mr. McMeans advised that he had attended a County hearing on this parcel of land, and the possibility of widening Westwood Avenue was discussed, along with the need for sewer and water services. Mr. McMeans stated another meeting has been scheduled for Monday, November 27, 1978, which he and many other residents from Reche Canyone will attend. After additional discussion among Council Members, Staff and Reche Canyon residents, on Council consensus, this item was tabled until the first regular Council Meeting in December. Mayor Gonzales announced that the City Council would take a five minute recess. Variance P. C. Res.
