E. CONSENT ORDINANCES
F. ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARINGS
Fl. CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 95-16 - SACRED HEART CHURCH - Appeal
of the Planning Commission's approval of the bell schedule for a proposed church and school facility in the
Very Low Residential designation (1-2 dwelling units per acre) of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, located on the
west side of Etiwanda Avenue, between Summit and Highland Avenues - APN: 225-171-12, 20, 22 and 23.
Staff report presented by Brad Buller, City Planner.
Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were:
Mike Cockrell stated he is one of the few residents that was notified for the January 24, 1996 Planning
Commission meeting. He stated he did not feel it was noticed properly. He stated he had conducted
a survey that was presented at the Planning Commission workshop. He continued to state he had
moved here because of the quiet he was expecting to have in the Etiwanda area. He asked that the
Council find that this facility is not in the best interest of the City and that the bells are not allowed as
per the Etiwanda Specific Plan.
James Markman, City Attorney, clarified that both of the appeals are about the bell schedule only.
Jim Frost, 12996 Victoria Avenue, stated he was part of the Etiwanda Specific Plan Advisory
Committee, and that Etiwanda is not the sleepy community it once was. He stated he felt the Planning
Commission did a good job in reaching a compromise. He asked for the Council to accept the
Planning Commission's decision.
Father Gaglia, Pastor of Sacred Heart Church, stated the residents near the church and the Village
of Heritage are appealing the restricted use of the bells for the church. He talked about the
compromises they agreed to make to be within the City's noise ordinance. He asked that the Council
accept their proposal. He stated that page 55 of the Eftwanda Specific Plan does state there will be
churches and schools for this area. He asked for those to stand that support their proposal. (The
appropriate audience stood.) He asked that the Council approve their appeal as so submitted.

Doug Peterson, 6771 Blue Gum, stated had he known when he bought his house that they were going
to have a bell tower so close to him, he never would have bought it. He stated he did not agree with
the bell schedule. He asked that those that live within one quarter mile of the proposed church to
stand. (The appropriate audience stood.) He asked that the Planning Commission be given direction
to go back and eliminate all of the bells.
Larry Matejka stated he filed the appeal and that he did not feel the residents were notified properly.
He felt the bell schedule was unreasonable to be dnging as much as they have been approved to ring.
He felt the Council was going to have to mitigate this issue.
David Berger, Sr., stated they have been members of the Sacred Heart Church for some years now
and felt the bells must continue to ring.
Shelly Cockrell, resident of Eliwanda for three and a half years, stated she has a problem with the bells
because she is Jewish and does not want to listen to bells for another religion. She pointed out that
St. Peter and St. Paul does not ring bells. She did not feel this should be allowed so that she is a
prisoner in her own house. She stated she is also concerned about the traffic.
Cathy Bazaki stated she felt the bells have always been a tradition in the neighborhood. She stated
there is a lot of traffic already in this area from the schools. She stated she is a wedding coordinator
for the Sacred Heart Church and is concerned about all of the horns honking from the wedding.
Rick Andonigas stated just because the bells are a tradition for Catholics, it is not a tradition for
everyone else. He stated people that mow their lawns are not allowed to do this late at night and did
not think the bells should be allowed.
Gina Johnson quoted Justice Black of the Supreme Court. She told about the compromises the
church is willing to make with the bell ringing. She felt if they are within the boundaries of the
Ordinance, what is the purpose of stopping them from ringing.
Barbara Foot stated she would like to hear the bells. She stated she lives in Etiwanda and deserves
the right to hear the bells.
JoAnn Hunt stated she does not want to have to hear the bells and did not feel she should have to be
a prisoner of her own home. She felt this would disturb the quiet in her neighborhood. She also was
concerned about the traffic.
Don Delugas stated he was notified of the first hearing. He felt the noticing was not done properly. He
felt it should go back to the Planning Commission.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated every City has a 300 foot noticing requirement. He agreed this did not
reach a lot of people because of the lot sizes in this area.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated the site was also posted and notices were mailed. He stated there was a traffic
analysis done also. He felt the Planning Commission should have gotten more input from the local residents.
Jeanene Tibbits, Shasta Drive, stated because of the position of the church on the lot and the bell
tower, and because people are running their air conditioning units most of the time and with
grandfather clocks chiming, she did not think people would really hear the bells that much. She really
did not think the traffic would be that much of a problem.

Cecilia Fink stated she did not think the bells should be ringing each day. She felt special occasions
and on Sunday was acceptable. She felt her rights will be taken away from her and that she would be
trapped in her own house. She felt no one took her opinion into consideration, and felt people would
not have any peace and quiet.
Tammy Ness and Christina Braden (students) felt someone was going to have to be unhappy no
matter what the decision. They felt everyone needed to compromise.
Brenda Glasco of Etiwanda stated she does not want to hear the bells after she has commuted four
hours each day. She did notwantto have to hear them ringing every hour. She also commented that
she did not receive any notification on this matter.
Casey Woodbury, Cherokee, felt the bells dnging all of the time was not good and that it would disrupt
her family.
Becky Fosten stated she liked to hear the bells ringing.
Larry Lucasic, Cherokee Road, felt there was a safety issue near the church because of the traffic.
He felt there needed to be a compromise for the bell ringing.
John Baker, student, stated he did not feel there was really an issue if the church was within the law.
Ed Baginero stated he is a fireman and gets called out at the fire station by bells. He stated he did not
think he would want to have to hear this at home also because he would be thinking he was supposed
to go to work.
Mark Edder, Cherokee, stated nobody is here to punish the church. He did not think the bells should
be allowed to ring every 15 minutes.
Berry Samboll, Blue Gum Court, stated nobody is against the church, but only something they believe
in. He did not think the neighbors should be disturbed by the bells and felt their privacy should be
respected.
AI Tibbits, Shasta Drive, stated he was not notified about this issue. He felt the sound from the bells
should be put into context with all of the other noises of the neighborhood.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
Councilmember Curatalo felt this group was definitely divided and the City was in the middle. He stated this
was well debated, but that he agreed with the Planning Commission's compromise.
Councilmember Biane stated this was an emotional issue. He stated he would not have a problem with hearing
the bells ring every 15 minutes. He stated the Planning Commission has worked very hard to get this
compromise and that he would agree with the Planning Commission's decision.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated there is a lot of noise in this area that people complain about. He stated he
finds the bells now ringing at the church across from the Price Club very peaceful. He felt with the property
being posted that people in the area knew about the church going in. He stated if he votes no, it is because he
does not feel it is right to do any regulating of the bells. He stated if he votes yes, the bells will be ringing. He
felt the Planning Commission's decision was valid, but that he does agree with Commissioner Melcher and did
not think the Council should decide how to regulate the bells.
Councilmember Williams asked if the bell schedule was part of the CUP.

Brad Buller, City Planner, stated yes.
Councilmember Williams asked if this is a problem in the future, can it be brought back.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated that any condition can be evaluated if there is a problem.
Councilmember Williams stated she has a problem with the 6:00 a.m. start for the ringing of the bells.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated that can be changed if the Council would like it to.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated this can be checked like any other use, that it is not considered a
freedom of religion issue. He pointed out that the check can also be used for a possible modification of the
CUP.
Mayor Alexander stated he agreed with Councilmember Gutierrez if this is really an issue for the Council to be
considering. He stated he did not feel there is a way to make everyone happy on this. He stated he would like
to see it brought back for review in six months after the church is built for an evaluation. He felt notification
boundaries should be extended to between 600 and 800 feet.
Councilmember GulJerrez stated he is disappointed to hear people criticizing a religion which is different from
what they believe in. He stated he is making his decision with respect for this church and any other church.

program. He stated it has really helped stabilize the Districts and that this is the fourth year which these Districts
have not been increased. He reported that they are at the "A" level of service. He brought to the Council's
