LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
1. COUNTY ZONING STUDY - PINON FLATS
Recommendation: That the Council support County Change
of Zone Case 4716; and express reservations about the removal
of Sections 2 and 11 (South Palm Canyon area) from the River-
side Extended Mountain Area Plan (REMAP) .
Planning Director reported that this matter was reviewed (123)
in detail at the last study session; that the proposed change
covers an extensive area, mostly mountainous, within the
City's Sphere of Influence, particularly Palm Hills and
South Palm Canyon; that the resolution was revised as a
follow-up to study session discussion, to reflect language
that the Council recognizes and respects the Tribal Council
jurisdiction regarding Agua Caliente Reservation land which
is part of the proposal , and does not intend to recommend
or support any infringement of such jurisdiction; and that
a further clarification may be required, in that the resolu-
tion as drafted, recommends the exclusion of Sections 2
and 11 (Andreas Cove and South Palm Canyon area) from the
Change of Zone, but it should be from the REMAP.
City Attorney stated that the Council could adopt the resolu-
tion, with direction that either language as appropriate
should be inserted, recognizing that it has taken prior
positions that these areas be dealt with separately.
Councilmember Smith stated that since the two areas affect
the Andreas Cove area, in which he has previously stated
his conflict, he would abstain on this matter.
Resolution 16120 recommending approval of the zone change,
with exclusions as recommended, was presented; after which,
it was moved by Apfelbaum, seconded by Birer, and unanimously
carried, Smith abstaining, that Resolution 16120 be adopted.
