No. 2002-281, approving Revised Amendment No. One to expand the agreement
with The Planning Center for providing professional services to update the City's
General Plan to include preparation of the Arrowhead Springs Specific Plan and
related tasks, and authorizing the Mayor to execute said Revised Amendment No.
One.
City Attorney Penman stated that because there were concerns about some of the
language in the agreement, numerous changes had been made.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that she had received several
phone calls from residents regarding the Arrowhead Springs Project questioning why
the City is involved when it is actually located in the County, and why there has been
so much discussion if this is just a study.
Ms. McCammack stated that the language in the agreement needed to be changed so the
Mayor and Council could retain discretion. She stated that although the project would
have to be fully studied before it went forward, only phase one of the three phases of
the project is the study.
Ms. McCammack wanted the residents to know that she is in favor of any development
in the City that will help raise surrounding property values, and she believes this
project will do that if done correctly. She stated that any impacts that are created as a
result of this project would need to be mitigated, and stated for the record that she
believed the eastbound Waterman off-ramp, off the 30 Freeway, absolutely could not be
closed as businesses in the area would suffer.
The following individuals spoke in opposition to the project:
Eli Jaffe, 795 E. Sonora, San Bernardino, CA;
Valerie Lichtman, 860 Bernard Way, San Bernardino, CA;
Jane Snyder, 747 Glendenning Way, San Bernardino, CA;
Beverly Bruce (Bottini), resident of San Bernardino, CA.
Judge Patrick Morris, resident of San Bernardino, CA, stated that he reviewed the
agreement and felt that the impact of the new roadway on existing residential property
values and the impact of the new roadway on loss of open space within the community
should also be studied.
Wilson Baugh Jr., 580 Fairmount, San Bernardino, CA, submitted a petition to the
Council that contained signatures of over 400 residents who are opposed to the
construction of any roadway between Valencia A venue and Harrison Road.
James Funk, Director of Development Services, stated that the study would include an
investigation of the feasibility of possible roadway accesses that might serve not only
12
09/09/2002
Arrowhead Springs, but also the development to the north that is currently impacting
Waterman Avenue, which was to be a temporary corridor to service the mountains.
Mr. Funk assured the residents that public hearings will be held throughout the process
and noted that the specific plan, development agreement, annexation documents, and
environmental impact reports would have to have prior Council approval before
development could take place.
Council Member/Commissioner Derry stated that Arrowhead Springs was going to
develop whether it is in the City or the County. He stated that staff is looking forward
to having the project develop in the City so they can have more influence on the project
and be involved every step of the way. Mr. Derry stated that this process would
probably take years and there would be numerous opportunities for everyone to give
their input.
Ms. McCammack stated that she felt the public should know that the developer asked
that he be allowed to piggyback onto the City's General Plan Update in order to save
himself hundreds of thousands of dollars on the study and the specific plan. She stated
that because the City was allowing him to do this, and had taken back control, she
believed impacts on the residents would be greatly mitigated.
Council Member/Commissioner McCarnmack made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Anderson, that said resolution be adopted. (No vote was
taken. )
City Attorney Penman requested that additional language be added to Exhibit B, Page
13, before the Appendix category, as suggested by Mr. Morris:
" Additional Impacts to be Studied
. Impact of the Proposed Roadway on Residential Property Values
. Impact of the Proposed Roadway on Loss of Open Space in the City. "
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack amended her motion, seconded by
Council Member/Commissioner Anderson, that said resolution be adopted; and that the
following language be added to Page 13 of Exhibit B: "Additional Impacts to be
Studied: Impact of the Proposed Roadway on Residential Property Value, and Impact
of the Proposed Roadway on Loss of Open Space in the City. "
The motion carried and Resolution No. 2002-297 was adopted by the following vote:
