294 Chamber of Commerce
<br />Mayor Gonzales read a letter from the Chamber of Commerce regarding "Colton Days",
<br />scheduled for October 21 through 28, 1979, and suggested that a resolution be pre-
<br />pared for this special event.
<br />CORRESPONDENCE:
<br />Transaortation
<br />Mayor Gonzales read in full a letter from the Manager of the Lake Cadena Mobile
<br />Home Park, requesting the City's assistance in restoring bus service to the resi-
<br />dents of the Park through R.T.D. The letter stated the only service they now have
<br />is Dial -A -Ride, which has proven to be ineffective.
<br />Mayor Gonzales suggested that this item be referred to the East Valley Transit
<br />Service Authority for their recommendations.
<br />Councilwoman Cisneros felt the City Council should discuss this matter, make recom-
<br />mendations, and do something to assist these Colton residents.
<br />Mr. Milton J. Morris, Manager of the Lake Cadena Mobile Home Park, stated that for-
<br />merly the R.T.D. traveled along La Cadena Drive, from Los Angeles to Riverside, and
<br />made stops in front of the Park, however, now the bus company travels the freeway
<br />which has, in effect, cut them out. Mr. Morris also advised that OMNITRANS comes
<br />within approximately two blocks of the Park, making a U-turn, which also eliminates
<br />their bus service for the Park residents.
<br />After additional discussion, on Council consensus, Staff was instructed to write
<br />letters to both R.T.D. and OMNITRANS regarding the feasibility of establishing
<br />bus service to the residents of Lake Cadena Mobile Home Park.
<br />PLANNING COMMISSION REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
<br />Conditional Use Permit
<br />P. C. Res. No. 919
<br />Planning Director Gonzales reported pursuant to Council direction, Staff has con-
<br />tacted a representative of the Corps of Engineers regarding the application from
<br />Robertson's Ready Mix to screen and haul sand from a site adjacent to the Santa
<br />Ana River.
<br />Mr. Gonzales continued that a contract will be let between the Corps of Engi-
<br />neers and Paul Hubbs, Contractor, to remove the sand from the concrete -lined
<br />river bottom, the sand to be placed on designated levees or removed from the
<br />site, with only one levee site that will be mandatory to fill.
<br />Mr. Gonzales advised a representative from Robertson's Ready Mix has been con-
<br />tacted and has agreed to build a 15 foot berm to mitigate any possible noise
<br />created by the screening operation, and the route to and from the site could be
<br />defined to an exact route, being north to "M" Street, then east to Interstate
<br />10; also, the hours of operation could be shortened from 6:00 a. m. to 6:00
<br />p. m., with a 30 -day review.
<br />Mr. Gonzales concluded the Planning Commission recommends approval of Planning
<br />Commission Resolution No. 919, with conditions., and if Council concurs and
<br />wishes to amend the conditions, it would be in order to approve Planning Commis-
<br />sion Resolution No. 919, with said amendments.
<br />Mr. Jess Vasquez, 677 South 8th Street, Colton, stated he had opposed this Permit
<br />and operation in the beginning, however, after visiting the applicant's plant in
<br />Rubidoux, he now feels that the City could live with this business.
<br />Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to approve Planning Com-
<br />mission Resolution No. 919, Index No. C-5-79, with amendments to conditions. Vote
<br />was unanimous.
<br />Conditional Use Permit
<br />P. C. Res. No. 923
<br />Planning Director Gonzales reported from his memorandum dated July 25, 1979, re-
<br />garding a Conditional Use Permit application requested by the San Salvador Church,
<br />to construct meeting rooms with restroom facilities, in connection with the exist-
<br />ing church facilities, on property located at 178 West "K" Street.
