ENVIRON?.IE>:FAE ASSESSMENT AND ZONING ORDINANCE ~MENDblENT NO. 81-0]. Amending (2 the R-1 permitted uses, adding a minimum dwelling width and depth, and requiring a design review for all dwellings; to implement SB-1960. Michael Vairin presented the staff report. Mr. Vairin said that SB-1960 would go into effect July 1, 1981. He said it was imperative to have something on our books before this time otherwise applications could be submitted, and they would have to be granted. Councilman Mikels asked where on the map would the mobile homes be permitted. He said that although the ordinance states in lots of 7200 square feet or less, he wanted to know where these were located. He said perhaps the surrounding zonings would not be compatible. He requested that at the next meeting a map be provided showing exactly where the mobile homes could be placed in the city. Mr. Lam pointed out that the law allows us to have a design review process which we already have. If anyone wanted to place a mobile home on a residential lot, they would have to go through the design review process. In this way, we could determine whether a mobile home was compatible with the surrounding areas. Mr. Dougherty said that according to the State law, the city shall not prohibit mobile homes on single family lots if they are placed on a permanent foundation, and they are certified under the Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. Then the law proceeds to permit us to implement a design review and compatibility standards, etc. He said if we don't adopt an ordinance, then we are left wide open to having the possibility of a mobile home placed on any residential lot. Councilman Mikels said his concern was that the Design Review Committee would not be able to control where these homes would be permitted as the ordinance stated and they would end up not being compatible in all 7200 square foot lots with surrounding uses. City Clerk Wasserman read title of Ordinance No. 123-A. ORDINANCE NO. 123-A (first reading) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 61.024A OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 123 BY ADDING SECTIONS 61.024A(a) (6), 61o024(g), AND 61.024(h) TO PROVIDE FOR MOBILEHOMES WITHIN THE R-1 ZONE, MINIMUM DWELLING UNIT WIDTHS, AND DESIGN REVIEW FOR ALL RESIDENTIAL DWELLINGS. Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by Bridge to waive further reading. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public hearing. There being no response, the hearing was closed. Mayor Schlosser set June 3, 1981 for second reading. 4G. AMENDMENT TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE~ CHAPTER 16.24, FINANCING FOR INTERIM SCHOOLS.

STATUS OF STREETS AND HIGHWAY NEEDS AND SUPPORT OF SENATE BILL 215. An oral report with a slide presentation was made by Lloyd Hubbs. The slides depicted the present condition of the roads in Rancho Cucamonga. After the slide presentation, Mr. Hubbs introduced Resolution No. 81-78. He encouraged Council to approve the Resolution which would increase the gasoline tax by two cents. He said that not only did the State need the extra funds for roads and highways, but our city as well. Although the two cents was not even a "drop in the bucket", it was felt it was better than nothing. Mayor Schlosser asked if there were any public comments. There were none. Citv Council Minutes Mav 20, 1981 Page 9 Councilman Bridge asked Mr. Hubbs if there would ever be any way to improve the "boot leg" streets within the tracts. Mr. Hubbs answered probably not very successfully until funds were available. He said they could be financed through assessment districts, but there is general opposition to this method. Motion: Moved by Frost, seconded by Bridge to approve Resolution No. 81-78 with the understanding that it is a compromise bill and insufficient to take care of the problems the State has, and to waive the entire reading. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Frost, Mikels, Bridge, and Schlosser. NOES: Palombo. ABSENT: None. (Palombo stated he was not in favor since it lacked clear definition as to where the funding would be coming from as far as the city was concerned. Mikels stated he approved the Resolution with reservations). City Clerk Wasserman read the title of Resolution No. 81-78. RESOLUTION NO. 81-78 A RESOLUTION OF THE CItY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING SUPPORT FOR SENATE BILL 215 TO INCREASE FUNDS FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE STATE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. 5C.

MKGK had prepared and developed the fiscal model for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The development was now complete, and this was the final presentation to Council. The fiscal model was an information resource tool which would simulate the re- sults of decisions made about land use or fiscal issues. Council received and filed the report. 5D.

Mr. Wasserman requested authorization to execute agreements for the services of Gilbert Aja to represent the city during the negotiations with the county on the site plan of the future law and justice/civic center. Council expressed concern in authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements without first seeing them. However, they did agree that they needed someone to represent the City at this time, and probably Mr. Aja was the best one to have since he had been working on the project up to this time. It was agreed that the City Manager should try to find out how many hours this phase of the program would entail, and to come back to the next meeting with the agreements for approval.
