REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR THE CITY OF COLTON For the City Council Meeting of April 3, 2001 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Coilmembers APPROVAL: Henry Garcia, Executive Direct FROM: Robb Steel, Redevelopment Director< SUBJECT: Receive and File Report Regarding the Expiration of Interim Urgency Ordinance 0-03-01 that Established a Moratorium on new Recreational Vehicle Dealerships within the City Of Colton. DATE: Background March 26, 2001 On February 20, 2001, the Agency Board adopted Ordinance No. O- 03-01 which prohibited the establishment of additional recreational vehicle ("RV") dealerships within the City of Colton for a period of 45 days, pending the completion of a study on the effects of establishing new RV dealerships and the adoption of possible amendments to the city's land use regulations. At the time the City Council considered this item, there were no RV dealership applications pending and, as of this date, there are no current RV dealership applications. Following the adoption of Ordinance No. 0-03-01, Agency staff met with representatives from the Community Development Department and City's Attorney's office to determine certain issues to study regarding the impacts that may result from the permitting of additional RV dealerships in the City. At this meeting the group discussed: ■ the City's existing land use regulations regarding siting new RV Dealerships, ■ the legal appropriateness of amending or establishing new land use regulations; ■ the direct or indirect effect of such land use amendments may have on competition and whether these considerations are appropriate public policy matters; ■ the various locations the City would wish to allow new or expanded RV dealerships in the City given their unique physical and environmental impacts; and ■ the appropriate conditions of approval to be imposed upon all RV applications.
