ning Commission on his change of zone application.

his client to convince the others in the center of the necessity
of a zone change.

ber Strickler, that the Planning Staff be instructed to initiate

cated on the south side of 42nd Street, west of Sierra Way, to a

tial Development at 12 dwelling units per acre to

cated approximately 204 feet west of the centerline
of Arden Avenue, be recommended for approval. (17)
Dolores Aberly of 6330 Orange Knoll, presented a petition
signed by 81 residents opposed to the zone change and three
letters from protestors. She spoke regarding the number of
- 6 -
10/10/83
people who did not receive notice from the Planning Department
and stated that the development is high density creating traffic
impact and is not compatible with existing homes. She further
stated that this development would generate approximately 2,000
additional trips per day for new traffic.
Frank Schuma, Planning Director, explained how notification
is sent. The applicant certifies that all property owners within
a 500 foot radius will be notified and submits addresses, usually
from a title company.
The Planning Director answered questions regarding the
traffic analysis.
Larry Conley of 6320 Orange Knoll Avenue, spoke regarding
differing life styles of people who live in apartments as opposed
to those who live in single-family dwellings. He stated that he
does not object to condominiums, but he does object to non-owner
residents. He also presented concerns regarding emergency access
due to density, and law enforcement services to an area which is
City on one side and County on the other.
Charles Emery, General Building Inspector in the Building
and Safety Department in the City of San Bernardino and an area
resident, presented concerns regarding the deterioration of other
apartments in the area.
Frank Schuma, Planning Director, stated that the general
plan designation is 15-36 units per acre so this would permit
300 plus additional units in an area.
Keith Harwood of Long Beach, the applicant, explained why
apartment market is preferred over the condominium market. He
stated that improvements are 11 to 12 million dollars in range
equaling $800,000 of improvements per acre and that rents will be
$50.00 to $100.00 more than other apartments in the area.
Bill Snell, engineer for the project, gave the history on
the traffic study that was made. The study showed Pumalo would
have adequate capacity for the development proposed but that a
traffic signal may be justified when the entire project is built
out.
The Planning Director stated that the issue of the signal
would be addressed when the review of plans is done.
Everett Herrold, speaking on behalf of Fredericks Development
Company, presented pictures of other apartments this company has
built and stated that the complex will be owned and managed by
this company for a period of at least five years.
Keith Ray of McMahon Partnership, stated that this project
meets the best balance for economics and density. There is a
six foot wall for security, lush landscaping, three recreational
areas, all one and two bedroom units, card key gate, and Pumalo
is the only access.
Keith Ray answered questions regarding the access point on
Pumalo and the economics of the project.
William B. French, an area resident, presented concerns re-
garding incompatibility.
Mrs. Edwards of 6321 Orange Knoll, expressed concerns regard-
ing deterioration of apartment complexes.
Mrs. Aberly asked that if the zone change is approved, that
conditions of approval be established.
- 7 -
10/10/83
Frank Schuma, Planning Director, explained why a zone change
is not conditional.
Mayor Holcomb suggested a conditional use permit requirement
for a multiple family development of over six units per acre.
Council Member Strickler made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Castaneda and unanimously carried, to approve the responses
to comments and to adopt the Negative Declaration for environ-
mental review which has been reviewed and considered.
Council Member Strickler made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Castaneda and unanimously carried, to approve the findings
of fact and the recommendation of the Planning Commission and to
direct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary amendments to
the zoning ordinance.
Council Member Marks made a motion, seconded by Council Mem-
ber Castaneda and unanimously carried, to instruct the staff to
come back with a conditional use permit ordinance for multiple
family units.

DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 1140 - NORTHEAST CORNER OF
BARTON ROAD AND HUNTS LANE - KNORRINGA
In a memorandum dated October 7, 1983, Council Member
Hernandez requested that the action of September 19, 1983 con-
tinuing the appeal filed by Mark Knorringa on the Planning Com-
mission's decision of denial on his request to build two floor
plans below 1,000 square feet for his housing development located
at the northeast corner of Barton Road and Hunts Lane, be recon-
sidered.

HIGHLAND ANNEXATION ISSUE - JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES
In a letter dated September 16, 1983, Larry Hendon, Executive
Officer of the Local Agency Formation Commission, requested that
the Mayor and Common Council reconsider its decision not to sub-
mit an application for annexation into the City of Highland and
perhaps decide to go forward with its original plan to make a bid
for the annexation of the entire East San Bernardino-Highland
area. (24)
A letter dated September 30, 1983 was received from william
J. Wood, Executive Vice President of the San Bernardino Area
Chamber of Commerce, requesting discussion on some concerns and
perceptions the Chamber of Commerce has relating to the Highland
Cityhood issue. (25)
Bill Ridenhour, President-elect of the Chamber of Commerce,
stated the Chamber of Commerce's position which is opposition to
any deannexation of areas within the City and they believe that
the Highland area could be best served by incorporating into the
City of San Bernardino.
- 10 -
10/10/83
He also stated that the Chamber of Commerce encourages the
City to take an aggressive campaign to sell the City of San Ber-
nardino and proceed with the annexation of the Highland area, to
reconsider their decision to allow a trade off of deannexed land
for closing islands within the City, and to reconsider their de-
cision to drop annexation plans.
Mayor Holcomb spoke at length regarding the City's strategy
and the role of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCl in
the Highland Cityhood issue.
Lou Yeager from the Chamber of Commerce, stated that the
Chamber of Commerce is prepared to launch a campaign to sell the
positive aspects of San Bernardino but the Chamber of Commerce
needs a commitment from the City's government regarding the High-
land issue, for example, the representation of the area through
additional wards.
Mayor Holcomb spoke at length regarding the benefits of
annexation including reduced water and sewerage rates.
Larry Hendon, Executive Officer of the Local Agency Formation
Commission, thanked the Council for use of the Council Chambers
for LAFC meetings and asked the Council to reconsider their deci-
sion. He stated that in view of the Local Agency Formation Com-
mission, a case can be made of the entire area within the City
of San Bernardino.
Mr. Hendon answered questions of the Council. When asked
"Can a City of Highland have economic viability without detach-
ment of property from the City of San Bernardino", Mr. Hendon
replied that a more appropriate City would result from detachment
and that in his view, it would be difficult to form a City of
Highland without detachment from the City of San Bernardino.
Mr. Hendon answered questions of the Council regarding LAFC's
position in the annexation matter. He stated he has urged the
City to make a definitive statement in regards to its position on
detachment but would not indicate what he would recommend to the
LAFC if the City did take a position on no detachment.
Mayor Holcomb suggested that the Mayor and Common Council
make a formal request asking the LAFC to hire the best outside,
independent, neutral planning firm they can find who will look at
this issue and the cost advantages and disadvantages to the
Highland area being part of the City of San Bernardino with specific
attention pertaining to the Water District and water quality and
additional fire and pOlice protection in the area. Based on their
professional expertise on the cost effectiveness of a City of
Highland, the City of San Bernardino will rest its case.
Council Member Marks made a motion to request the LAFC to
hold in abeyance all matters in the Highland annexation until
the LAFC has hired an independent consultant to do an economic
feasibility study of the advantages of everyone becoming part of
one City, on what it would take to make a viable City of Highland,
regarding the cost of subsidies going into mnincorporated areas
within the City or near the City and to look into the advantages
of one water district serving the area.
After discussion, Council Member Marks made a motion,
seconded by Council Member Strickler, to approve this matter in
principle and ask the staff to come back with a detailed form
motion in the afternoon session.
The motion carried by
Members Castaneda, Reilly,
Council Member Hernandez.

Larry Hendon of the Local Agency Formation Commission,
answered questions of the Council stating that this action would
probably prove what the LAFC already knows, that City services
would be cost effective for the Highland area: the study would
cost $20,000 to $30,000 and would take six months to complete.
Jim Lynas of 1160 East Sonora, asked the Council to reconfirm
that they will permit no significant detachment from the City of
San Bernardino.

A memorandum dated October 3, 1983 was received from Craig
Graves, City Treasurer, and Warren Knudson, Finance Director,
stating that the City of San Bernardino experiences a negative
cash flow in the general fund during the first five months of the
fiscal year due to the timing of revenues received. They recom-
mended in their memorandum that tax and revenue anticipation notes
be issued to provide the City immediate access to funds that would
not have been received until later in the year and the City would
have the opportunity to move quicker on projects which benefit
the citizens of San Bernardino. They further explained that the
rate of the notes are below the rate of investment return the
City can achieve. (S8)
Craig Graves, City Treasurer, was present and answered ques-
tions. He stated that the City has received a rating from Moodys,

net revenue in the amount of $55,500.
Mr. Bob Spellman of Miller and Schroeder Municipals, stated
that this issue would have no effect on the City's credit rating
on other bond issues.

anticipation notes would allow the City to undertake capital im-
provements without waiting for anticipated revenue.

Warren Knudson, Finance Director, passed out a chart showing
the cash flows for each period for fiscal year 1983-84 and ex-
plained that without the tax and revenue anticipation notes, the
City uses interfund transfers to operate during the deficit of
the general fund.
Warren Beebe, Bond Counsel, explained the intent behind the
legislation which allows the issuance of tax and revenue antici-
pation notes. These notes will have the purpose of smoothing out
the dry spells of revenue income.

sive needs analysis of the City and study the various alterna-
tives available to meet these needs. The Committee felt facilities

ment of a Request for proposal in order to implement and select

Manager who would coordinate all City data processing functions

changeover within a reasonable period of time to ensure the
