He encouraged everyone to patronize those businesses that contribute to City events such as this, and felt everyone should thank those businesses for their contributions.

He reminded people not to have loud parties. Mayor Alexander stated Code Enforcement is not out to take general areas of the City and target them for violations. He stated each incident should be handled on a case-by-case basis. Councilmember Michael asked City Attorney James Markman to respond to Mrs. Lee's comments under Public Communications. James Markman, City Attorney, stated there are various types of planning actions that come before the Planning Commission and City Council. He stated this breaks into two categories, one is legislative items, like zone changes and general plan changes, things that are not so site specific that apply generally in the City. He stated those always come to the City Council by order of the State Planning Act. He stated on more specific things like variances, issuance of Conditional Use Permits, specific property development approvals, normally in Rancho Cucamonga and in most cities, those can be approved by the Planning Commission. He stated the Red Hill project was approved by the Planning Commission, which is always subject to appeal to the City Council within ten days after the decision is made. He stated even though there was significant opposition to this project, it was not appealed to the City Council. He added that nobody approached a Councilmember to have them appeal this to the Council either, which would have saved a certain amount of filing fees. He stated Red Hill was an extremely unusual situation where a project being argued both for and against on the legislative side. He stated the general plan was before the Council, and the specific project was not before the Council, because nobody filed an appeal on time. He stated when you don't do that the Council loses jurisdiction under the zoning ordinance and the developer's rights are set. He stated this was an abnormal process, but the procedures and ordinances are perfectly normal. :It * '* '* * '* II J.
