Staff report and power point presentation were given by Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, which is on
file in the City Clerk's office.
Councilmember Kurth inquired how much of this will be open space.
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, stated a majority of it will be in the conservation area.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked why would the City want to annex more land into the City, why would the
County be willing to do this, and what would happen to it if it were not annexed?
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, stated the County has recently changed their philosophy on
development in the unincorporated areas. They feel as a subregional agency development is not
something they should spend time on. They feel it is better left in the hands of local jurisdictions who are
providing most of the infrastructure anyway. He stated most of the land that has been annexed both in
the past and for the future is zoned by the County at three units per acre. He stated all of these projects
are coming within the average County range. He stated if we don't annex the land, the property owner
involved has the right to apply and be granted approval by the County for those densities.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked if this isn't annexed would it be developed under the County.
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, stated yes.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated if this is adjoining our City and really looks like it is part of our City, would
we prefer it is annexed.
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, stated yes.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked about the North Etiwanda Preserve.
Larry Henderson, stated it is north of this area and administered by a County Board. He stated they are
looking to fence the area and prevent dumping.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked how much open space will there be in 10 years.
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, stated the majority of it will be open space or conservation areas.
Councilmember Kurth felt it is important to preserve as much open space as possible. He pointed out
development is going to occur whether the City owns it or not, but felt if the City has it, we can control
what is being developed.
