Such a motion shall be used to limit or close debate on, or further amendments to, the main motion and shall be undebatable. If the motion fails, debate shall be reopened; if the motion passes, a vote shall be taken on the main motion.
I. Motion To Amend
A motion to amend shall be debatable only as to amendment. A motion to amend an amendment shall be in order, but a motion to amend an amendment to an amendment shall not be in order. An amendment modifying the intention of a motion shall be in order, but an amendment relating to a different matter shall not be in order. A substitute motion on the same subject shall be acceptable and voted on before voting on the amendment.
Amendments shall be voted first, then the main motion as amended.
J. Motion To Continue
Motions to continue to a definite time shall be amendable and debatable as to propriety of postponement and time set.

8. VOTING PROCEDURE
A. Voting Procedure
In acting upon every motion, the vote shall be taken by voice or roll call or any other method by which the vote of each Councilmember present can be ascertained. The vote on each motion shall then be entered in full upon the record. The City Clerk shall vary the voting order with the Presiding Officer voting last. The City Clerk shall call the names of all Councilmembers seated when a roll call vote is ordered or required. Councilmembers shall respond “aye,” “no,” or “abstain,” provided that when a vote is collectively take n by voice or when a method of voting other than by voice or roll call is used, any Councilmember not audibly and clearly responding “no” or “abstain” or otherwise registering an objection shall have his vote recorded as “aye.” B. Vote Required
Generally, items before the City Council require a majority of a quorum of affirmative votes to carry. Certain motions, when specified in state law, require a majority of the membership of the City Council or a supermajority of four affirmative votes. (Gov. Code § 36936). For illustrative purposes only, these requirements are as follows:
1) Three (3) votes:
a) Ordinances;
b) Resolutions and orders for the payment of money;
c) Contracts involving payments by City over One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).
2) Four (4) votes:
a) Motions to condemn property;
b) Motions to overrule a majority protest to the formation of an assessment district; c) Motions to add an item to the agenda;
d) Urgency ordinances.
C. Roll Call Voting
Any question before the City Council shall not require a roll call vote unless demanded by any Councilmember. It shall not be in order for Councilmembers to e xplain their vote during roll call. Any Councilmember may change his vote before the next order of business.
D. Failure To Vote
Every Councilmember should vote unless disqualified for cause . If a Councilmember is required to vote despite a disqualifying confl ict of interest to achieve a quorum . In that case, the Councilmember shall state the reason, which shall be recorded in the minutes.
When a vote is collectively taken by voice, any Councilmember not audibly and clearly responding “no” or “abstain” shall have their vote recorded as “aye.” Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023

City Council Rules of Procedure Resolution No. 24992
City of Palm Springs Page 21
E. Reconsideration
Except for votes regarding matters which are quasi -judicial or matters which requir e a noticed public hearing, the City Council may reconsider any vote taken at the same meeting or the subsequent meeting under the following circumstances:
1) If there has not been detrimental reliance on the prior decision by a person, or 2) If that action has been taken as a part of the earlier decision , which would be impossible to undo.
The motion to reconsider must be made by a Councilmember who voted on the prevailing side, must be seconded, and requires a majority vote of the quorum for passage, regardless of the vote needed to adopt the motion being reconsidered. If the motion to reconsider is successful, the matter to be reconsidered takes no special preference over other pending matters, and any special voting requirements related to it still apply. Except pursuant to a motion to reconsider, once a matter has been determined and voted upon, the same matter cannot be brought up again.
F. Motion To Rescind
Any Councilmember, regardless of how they voted on the item initially, may move to rescind an action taken at a previous meeting in order to strike out an entire motion, resolution, rule, bylaw, section, or paragraph that has been adopted except in the following circumstances:
1) When there has been detrimental reliance on the original decision by a party affected thereby,
2) When something has been done, as a result of the original decision, which it would be impossible to undo, or
3) When the item is in the nature of a contract, and the other party has been informed of the vote and has taken action in reliance thereon which cannot be undone.
After a motion to rescind has been acted upon, no other motion to rescind shall be made without the unanimous consent of the City Council.
G. Tie Votes
Tie votes shall be lost motions. When all Councilmembers are present, a tie vote on whether to grant an appeal from official action shall be considered a denial of such appeal unless the City Council takes other action to consider the matter furth er. If a tie vote on any matter results at a time when less than all members of the City Council are present, the matter shall automatically be continued to the agenda of the next regular meeting of the City Council, unless otherwise ordered by the City Council.

9. RESOLUTIONS
A. Definitions
As a rule of thumb, it can be said that legislative acts of the City Council (usually a rule of public conduct for long-term application) are taken by ordinance. In contrast, more routine business and administrative matters (usually more temporary and transitory) are accomplished by “resolutions.” The term “resolution” in its general sense will denote any action taken affirmatively via a vote of the City Council, other than one taken by ordinance.
As used in this City, however, two terms are general ly used to denote such (no n- ordinance) actions: “resolution” and “motion” (thereafter recorded by minute entry).
Technically, both are equally effective and binding; they vary only in the for mality of respective memorialization. The most formal is referred to as a “resolution.” In addition to being referenced in the minutes, a resolution will be recorded by a separate document, numbered in sequence, and preserved in a separate set of books. Such “resolutions” are used for various reasons, such as when specifically required by law, when needed as a separate evidentiary document to be transmitted to another governmental agency, or where the frequency of future reference back to its contents warrants a separate document (with the additional “whereas” explanatory material it often recites) to facilitate such future reference and research.
The “motion” is a City Council action recorded by an item entry in the minutes of the meeting at which it was accomplished, and no separate document is made to memorialize it.
B. Resolutions Prepared in Advance
Where a resolution has been prepared in advance, the procedure shall be motion, second, discussion, vote pursuant to methods prescribed in Section 8.A., and the result declared.
It shall not be necessary to read a resolution in full or by title except to identify it.
C. Resolutions Not Prepared in Advance
Where a resolution has not been prepared in advance, the procedure shall be to instruct the City Manager or the City Attorney to prepare a resolution for presentation at the next City Council meeting.
D. Urgency Resolutions
In matters of urgency, a resolution may be presented verbally in motion form together with instructions for written preparation for later execution. After the resolution has been verbally stated, the voting procedure in Section 9.B. shall be followed.
Urgency resolutions shall be avoided except when necessary. They shall be avoided when resolutions are required by law, such as improvement acts, zoning matters, or force account work on public projects.

However, an urgency ordinance may be passed immediately upon introduction and either at a regular , adjourned or special meeting. Except when, after reading the title, further reading is waived by regular motion adopted by a majority vote of the Councilmembers present, all ordinances shall be read in full either at the time of introduction or passage. When ordinances, other than urgency ordinances, are altered after introduction, they shall be passed only at a regular or at an adjourned regular meeting held at least five days after alterat ion. Corrections of typographical or clerical errors are not alterations within the meaning of this section.

City Council considers the motion and votes.9.
MOTION(S):
If the City Council concurs with staff's recommendation, the following motion is provided:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 8514 and deny the Appeal, and uphold the decision of the Historic & Scenic Preservation Commission to deny Minor Certificate of Appropriateness No. 665.
COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council deny the Appeal, and uphold the Historic & Scenic Preservation Commission’s decision to deny Minor Certificate of Appropriateness No. 665 based upon the evidence in the record and the analysis in this report.
BACKGROUND:
The appellant filed their Appeal (Attachment A) on July 13, 2023, within the required ten days after the decision by the Historic & Scenic Preservation Commission on July 6, 2023.
A) Project Description
Beverly and Kenneth Winchester submitted an application to legalize/approve a 6-foot-high vinyl fence and a rolling slide gate placed within the street-side setback along Grant Street. The vinyl fence and gate were installed by the applicant in April 2022 without any building permits, and without the required approval of a Minor Certificate of Appropriateness and Minor Exception Permit.
The subject property is located at 232 West Olive Avenue (Attachment B - Location Map and Aerial Photograph) in the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) District. The home is not an individually designated historic resource; however, the property is within the Smiley Park Neighborhood Historic and Scenic District (Historic District No. 8). On July 6, 2023, the Historic & Scenic Preservation Commission (HSPC) voted to deny the Minor Certificate of Appropriateness application. The appellant has filed an Appeal to reverse the decision of the HSPC.
B) Property History
Based on the Historic Inventory Sheet (Attachment C) associated with the Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023
309 of 469
subject parcel, the one-story residence was constructed in 1898 and is Victorian style. The following is the description from the Historic Inventory Sheet prepared by Helen Watts:
"The subject property has a Victorian Cottage-style one-story house with a brick chimney, a hip-composition roof with slight bell cast, and exposed rafters. There is a shingled gable with overhang and double windows on all four sides at the attic level, and a decorated frieze. The porch roof is supported by turned pillars, and the porch has wood railing. The main entry is in the front at the center, with a second entry on the left side. Entrance doors are wood paneled with a glass panel at the top. Both entrances have cement steps with cobble stone rails.
Sash type windows have wooden moldings. The house has wooden overlapping siding and there is a decorative crest at the roof ridge." The Sanborn map from 1900 shows the main dwelling at the exact same location and footprint of the present structure. Between 1900 and 1908, a garage was built on the north side of the main dwelling. Between 1938 and 2007, a carport was added next to the garage. Aerial maps from 2004 to 2019 show the same landscaping that was subsequently removed (in early 2022) and replaced with the current vinyl fence. The property owner stated that the fence was constructed in April 2022 (Attachment D - Site Photographs), and replaced shrubs (shown in Attachment E) with the existing fence for the stated purpose of saving water, increasing security, and providing privacy for a future small pool.
The appellant filed their Appeal on July 13, 2023, within the required ten days after the HSPC's decision on July 6, 2023.
C) Historic & Scenic Preservation Commission
The project was originally reviewed by the HSPC on March 2, 2023. At that time, the Commission received the staff report and the applicant’s presentation and continued the public hearing to April 6, 2023 so that the applicant would have more time to contact the fencing company and explore some design alternatives that were discussed at the meeting (such as use of wood fencing, etc.).
A Minor Exception Fence Permit application was submitted concurrently with this proposal. As defined by Section 18.08.585 of the Redlands Municipal Code (RMC), “A side yard adjacent to a street shall be the same as a front yard.” Therefore, pursuant to RMC Section 18.168.020 (B), “Fences and walls not to exceed six feet (6') in height shall be permitted along the side and rear property lines, except that no fence or wall exceeding three feet (3') in height shall be located within any required front yard area.” However, RMC Section 18.168.050 provides for the granting of minor exceptions to the fencing development standards. The Minor Exception Committee met on March 9, 2023 at the subject property, and discussed options regarding the placement and height of the Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023
310 of 469
fence. The applicant requested additional time to consider the design alternatives (such as the distance to pull the fence back from the sidewalk) as well as potential landscape screening options. The applicant also needed additional time to be able to discuss the potential fence placement and landscape alternatives with the HSPC (as that may influence the Commission’s decision about the fence material). Therefore, the Minor Exception Committee meeting was continued to a date uncertain.
The HSPC held the continued public hearing on April 6, 2023. At this meeting, the applicant’s proposal was to relocate the fence and the gate further back from the sidewalk to the next fence post (approximately 6’0” back from the sidewalk), to create space to provide a planter area between the sidewalk and the fence for screening purposes. The applicant also proposed installing landscaping (such as a high hedge up to the height of the fence) to screen the vinyl fence, but the sliding gate portion would not be screened. At the April 6 HSPC meeting, the Commission received the staff report and the applicant’s presentation, and then continued the public hearing to May 4, 2023 so that the applicant would have more time to explore other design alternatives that were discussed at the meeting (e.g. painting the fence, installing wood slats in front of the fence and gate).
The HSPC held the continued public hearing on May 4, 2023. At this time, the applicant proposed to only paint the gate, install one redwood trellis in front of each fence panel, and plant Star Jasmine along Grant Street to screen the fence. The Commission received the staff report and the applicant’s presentation, and continued the public hearing to June 1, 2023 so that the applicant would have more time to explore other types of wood trellis that were suggested by Commissioners (see Attachment F) and provide a sample paint color (wood color preferred) for the fence and gate.
On June 1, 2023, at the applicant's request, the HSPC continued the public hearing to July 6, 2023.
The HSPC held the continued public hearing on July 6, 2023. At this meeting, the applicant’s proposal was to paint the gate, install two green vinyl-coated steel trellises in front of each fence panel, and plant climbing rose bushes and Star Jasmine to screen the fence on three exterior sides (north, south, and west). The Commission did not find the applicant’s proposal consistent with previous suggestions. The Commissioners discussed appropriate alternatives with the applicant (such as paint the entire fence and gate, use wider wood trellises that cover the entire fence panel, and plant only Star Jasmine or an alternative dense foliage). The applicant was not willing to change their proposal; therefore, the Commission voted to deny the Minor Certificate of Appropriateness application.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023

D) Analysis
Certificate of Appropriateness
A "Certificate of Appropriateness" is a permit process that ensures any proposed changes or alterations to designated historic properties and structures located within a historic district are compatible and consistent with the historic character and architectural qualities of the subject property or district. Section 2.62.200(D) of the Redlands Municipal Code states: “Certificates of appropriateness for minor improvements where proposed work does not adversely affect the exterior architectural features of the historic resource nor adversely affect the character or historical, architectural, or aesthetic interest or value of the resource and its site, may be approved by the preservation officer. The preservation officer shall inform the commission in writing of decisions regarding minor alterations.” In this case, the fence is considered a "minor improvement" subject to approval or denial from the staff historic preservation officer. Rather than deny the application, the historic preservation officer chose to elevate this application to the HSPC for decision, to avoid requiring the applicant to appeal the staff decision. As detailed in this report, the HSPC denied the application which is the subject of this appeal to the City Council.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines:
The existing fence does not meet the recommended guidelines of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards due to the existing fence material’s incompatibility with historic building materials and historic style. The Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings states, “The relationship of buildings to each other, setbacks, fence patterns, views, driveways and walkways, and street trees and other landscaping together establish the character of a district or neighborhood”.
Regarding fencing, the Guidelines explain that protective fencing for security may be installed in historic districts/neighborhoods if it is as unobtrusive as possible and should take into consideration the location of the fencing and its visibility so that the fencing does not negatively impact the historic character of the setting.
City of Redlands Historic and Scenic Preservation Design Manual:
The Victorian style is well established in Redlands, with row upon row of Victorian homes in the areas around Olive Avenue, Highland Avenue, and Cajon. The predominant material used is typically wood, wood siding, wood shingles, stone, brick, and masonry. The guidelines state, “Most of the houses would be nearly impossible to duplicate today” and “...in the construction of new buildings in historic areas, materials should be the same as or representative of those used in original construction” (page 4/1-7).
Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023
312 of 469
Regarding decorative elements, the guidelines state, “Architectural detailing is a key factor in all of these styles… landscape elements such as sculpture, fence details, and plant materials should be used in a way that will enhance the historical character of the structure and the site....” (page 4/1-7).
E) Appeal Filed
On July 13, 2023, the applicant filed an Appeal to reverse the decision of the Commission. The appellant’s grounds for appeal state:
“I am writing to appeal the denial of my claim for an existing vinyl fence so I may increase security and provide security for a small fiberglass exercise pool I plan on putting in next year. When we had the fence contractor over, he said I did not need a permit because it was not over 6 feet tall and not a special fence. I have 15 pictures of 6 feet vinyl fences and gates within 5 blocks of my house.”
F) Staff Response to Appeal
The subject property is within the Smiley Park Historic & Scenic District. The original application was reviewed by the Historic & Scenic Preservation Commission in four meetings to allow the appellant sufficient time to consider alternative materials and designs. The Commission has previously approved other fences located in historic districts only when they were wood fences or otherwise compatible with the historic properties. In this case, the appellant had declined to make any substantive changes to their proposal after four meetings.
The Commission felt they were left with no choice but to deny the application due to the inappropriate material of the fence and screening (i.e., vinyl fencing and vinyl-coated steel trellises for a landscape screen) and the applicant’s unwillingness to change the proposed materials.
The appellant states that a total of fifteen properties within five blocks of 232 West Olive Avenue also have vinyl fences. However, staff reviewed the addresses and determined that only three of the properties are within a historic district and have unpermitted vinyl fences. One property located directly across Grant Street from the subject property (at 304 W. Olive Avenue) has both a Certificate of Appropriateness and a Minor Fence Exception Permit for an existing 6-foot-high wooden fence around the rear yard, and although it is similar in height and placement, it is not comparable because it uses appropriate wood materials.
Over the course of four meetings during which the public hearings were continued, the HSPC made multiple suggestions for alternative materials and designs that the applicant could consider. The applicant declined to make any Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023
313 of 469
substantive or significant changes to the vinyl fence and proposed to provide a landscape screening in front of the fence. The Commissioners made several suggestions for wood trellises (see Attachment F) so that climbing vines or landscaping could totally screen the vinyl fence panels, and also considered a treatment to paint the fence and the gate (to simulate wood appearance). The applicant refused to consider using wood, refused to consider painting the fence, and returned with a proposal for vinyl-coated steel trellises (however, the small size of trellises would not be sufficient to provide any substantial screening - see Attachment G).
The Commissioners cited their objective for the fence material to be consistent with the style of house on the property (i.e., use wood fence panels or at least treat the vinyl panels to create a wood appearance) as well as achieve appropriateness for the surrounding historic district. The city’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual identifies the house as Victorian style, which utilizes predominantly wood siding plus wooden trim and treatments. Surrounding houses within the same historic district are likewise Victorian and utilize predominantly wood siding. Therefore, only a wood fence and gate would be fully appropriate and consistent with the subject property and historic district.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
For the denial of Minor COA No. 665, the proposal qualified for exemption from environmental review in accordance with Section 15270 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Section 15270 (Projects Which Are Disapproved) states that CEQA does not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves.
Prior to considering any possible approval of Minor COA No. 665, the proposal must be found to be exempt from CEQA, or else an Initial Study must be prepared to evaluate the proposal’s compliance with CEQA and the relevant threshold criteria pertaining to impacts on historic properties (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5). The HSPC declined to find the proposed vinyl fence to be consistent with the city’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual or the Secretary of the Interior Standards pertaining to historic properties and structures, which therefore precluded using a common exemption category under CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (New Construction of Small Structures).
The HSPC made multiple efforts over four meetings to explore potential design alternatives with the applicant/appellant.
The suggested alternatives may have helped the appellant achieve some level of consistency with the applicable historic design guidelines (which if found consistent, would have enabled using the CEQA exemption). If the proposal is deemed to be consistent with the city’s Historic & Scenic Preservation Manual Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023
314 of 469
deemed to be consistent with the city’s Historic & Scenic Preservation Manual and the applicable Secretary of Interior Standards, then the fence material and its impacts on the subject property (as well as the surrounding Smiley Park Historic and Scenic District) could then be considered to be satisfactorily mitigated and would be a less than significant impact. CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(b)(3) states that generally, a project that follows the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings or the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings (1995), Weeks and Grimmer, shall be considered as mitigated to a level of less than a significant impact on the historical resource.
The HSPC frequently seeks and emphasizes compliance with the applicable Secretary of Interior Standards prior to determining if a proposal may be found exempt from CEQA. If a proposal is found to be consistent, then CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (New Construction of Small Structures) may be utilized for the project. The Commission has previously requested changes to project designs or materials in numerous other applications for the purpose of achieving consistency and also utilize a CEQA exemption. However, at the present time, this current proposal does not appear to qualify for a CEQA exemption (due to the proposed fence height and design, prominent appearance of vinyl material, and lack of any substantial exterior treatment or screening).
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council may continue the public hearing to allow for additional information; or
2. The City Council may overturn the Historic & Scenic Preservation Commission's decision to deny Minor Certificate of Appropriateness No. 665, and thereby approve the appellant’s request to legalize the 6’0” vinyl fence and gate (or subject to additional Conditions of Approval if deemed appropriate).
Note: The City Council would need to determine and find that the appellant's proposal is consistent with the applicable Secretary of the Interior's Standards (so that a CEQA exemption may be utilized).

The pro
perty owner, Kenneth Winchester is requesting approval of a Minor Certificate of Appropriateness to legalize/approve an existing 6-foot-high, vinyl fence and a rolling slide gate with galvanized steel frame located within the street-side setback, adjacent to Grant Street, which extends along western and northern property lines, at the rear portion of the lot. Site Photographs are included as attachment B.
The appl
icant has replaced shrubs with the existing fence for the purpose of saving water, increasing security, and providing privacy for a small exercise pool that is going to be built this year.
BACKGROUND
Proper
ty History: The one-story residence was constructed in 1898 and is Victorian style.
The following is the description from the Historic Inventory Sheet prepared by Helen Watts:
This
is a Victorian Cottage style, one- story house with a brick chimney, a hip composition roof with slight bell cast and exposed rafters. There is a shingled gable with overhand and double windows of all four sides at the attic level. There is a decorated frieze. A recessed at left half of front extends halfway around the left side. The porch roof is support ed by turned pillars.
The main entry is at front center with a second entry at left side. Entrance doors are wood paneled with a glass panel at the top. Both entrances have cement steps with cobble stone rails. The porch has a stick work rail. A large single window is centered at right front. Sash type windows have wooden moldings. The house has wooden overlapping siding and there is a decorative crest at the roof ridge.
Karen F
lippin further described the house in 2013, “The house sits on a corner lot wi th cut stone curbing all around. A low cement wall runs along the lawn. In the southeast corner of the property is a large palm tree, there are also palm trees along Olive Avenue.” Historic Inventory Sheets are included as Attachment C.

The S
anborn map from 1900 shows the main dwelling at the exact same location and footprint of the present structure. Between 1900 and 1908, a garage was built on the north side of the main dwelling. Between 1938 and 2007, a carport was added next to the garage. Aerial maps from 2004 to 2019 show the same landscaping that was subsequently removed (sometime in 2021 or early 2022) and replaced with the current vinyl fence. The property owner stated that the fence was constructed in April 2022.
Appl
ication for Certificate of Appropriateness: The application was filed as a Minor Certificate of Appropriateness. Staff was unable to approve the existing vinyl fencing, and the applicant has been informed that wood fencing would be more appropriate to the style of the building and preserve its historic appearance and integrity. Wood fencing would also be more appropriate for the surrounding historic district considering the home styles and predominant use of wood. The applicant has declined to remove the fence and has requested review by the Commission.
Ex
terior Condition: An approximately 4’0” high shrub row was in place (and since removed) where the new fence has been installed. Aerial maps show the shrubs from at least 2004 to 2019. In 2022 the landscaping was removed, the ground was paved, and the vinyl fence was constructed. Additional information about the condition of the exterior is available via Google Streetview and aerial images online. Although the fence can be seen on Google Map, the Google Streetview is not up to date and shows the old shrubs.
ANALY
SIS
A)
Zoning Standards
The subject property is within the High Density Residential (R-3) Zone, and has a required front yard setback of 15 feet and required street -side yard equal to the front yard requirement. On corner lots, in residential districts, side yards abutting the street, shall be not less than the required front yard for lots in the district in which the lot is located, and in no case, not less than fifteen feet (15') (RMC Section 18.148.030). Presently, the property has an existing six foot (6’) high vinyl fence, with a vehicle access gate, which runs along the property line adjacent to Grant Street. The Municipal Code requires that open fences within the front yard setback area not taller than four feet and solid fences may not be taller than three feet; however, the Municipal Code does provide a mechanism to allow variances to these fence requirements. As the height of the existing fence exceeds the height limit of three feet (3’) for solid fences within the front setback, the applicant submitted a Minor Exception Permit (MEP) application. By applying for an MEP, the applicant can request variances or deviations to the City’s wall and fencing standards.

B)
Secretary of the Interior Standards and Guidelines
At
the present time, the proposal does not appear to meet the recommended SOI Standards due to the existing fence material’s incompatibility with the historic building materials and historic style.
The S
ecretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings states the following about historic neighborhoods and districts: “The relationship of buildings to each other, setbacks, fence patterns, views, driveways and walkways, and street trees and other landscaping together establish the character of a district or neighborhood”. Regarding fencing, the Guidelines explain that protective fencing for security may be installed in historic districts/neighborhoods if it is as unobtrusive as possible and should take into consideration the location of the fencing and its visibility so that the fencing does not negatively impact the historic character of the setting.
The pr
oposal is to legalize/approve the existing 6-foot-high vinyl fence and a rolling slide gate, and staff’s concern is regarding the compatibility (or lack of compatibility in this case) of the vinyl material with both the house on the subject property as well as other houses on surrounding residential properties within Historic District 8. The Commission may make recommendations for the property owner to achieve compatibility with the SOI Standards and the City’s guidelines.
C) Ci
ty of Redlands Historic and Scenic Preservation Design Manual The V
ictorian style is well established in Redlands, with row upon row of Victorian homes in the areas around Olive Avenue, Highland Avenue, and Cajon. The predominant material used is typically wood, wood siding, wood shingles, stone, brick, and masonry.
The guidelines note that “most of the houses would be nearly impossible to duplicate today” and “in the construction of new buildings in historic areas, materials should be the same as or representative of those used in original construction” (page 4/1-7).
Regar
ding decorative elements, “Architectural detailing is a key factor in all of these styles…. Landscape elements such as sculpture, fence details, and plant materials should be used in a way that will enhance the historical character of the structure and the site” (page 4/1-7).

Summary
At
the present time, the proposal may not meet the SOI Standards or the City’s historic guidelines due to the fence’s material incompatibility with the historic building material Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023

and historic style. The Commission may make recommendations for the property owner to achieve compatibility with the guidelines.
The C
ommission may also approve Certificate of Appropriateness No. 665 if the property owner will agree to accept and implement the Commission’s recommendations for a compatible fence material and style (as conditions of approval). If so, then the project would then be consistent with the Redlands Municipal Code, the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, and the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual.
Fol
lowing the review by the Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission (on the appropriateness of the fence material only), the application for a Minor Fence Exception will be reviewed by the Minor Exception Permit Committee (scheduled for March 9, 2023).
The Minor Exception Permit Committee will make a decision regarding the fence height and placement on the subject property and incorporate the Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission’s decision on the fence material as a condition of approval.
ENVI
RONMENTAL REVIEW
If
the proposal is revised to use a compatible material (e.g., wood) then the application may be deemed to be consistent with the applicable Secretary of Interior Standards and the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual, and then would be considered to be satisfactorily mitigated and is a less than significant impact (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(b)(3)). In that case, CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (New Construction of Small Structures) may be utilized for the project.
If
the proposal to use vinyl fencing is deemed to be not consistent with the applicable Secretary of Interior Standards and the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual, then the proposal would likely not be able to use an exemption from environmental review.
Significant changes to historic resources are considered to be a potentially significant impact on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064.5(b)(1) and 15064.5(b)(2)).
Alternatively, CEQA Guidelines Section 15270 may be utilized that pertains to projects which are disapproved.
ST
AFF RECOMMENDATION
St
aff recommends that the Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission discuss alternative fencing materials to assist the applicant in achieving consistency with the applicable Secretary of Interior Standards and the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual.
Shoul
d the applicant propose an acceptable fencing material, then the Commission may make findings to approve the application and approve COA No. 665 subject to the conditions of approval.

PRO
POSAL
The
applicant is requesting approval of a Minor Certificate of Appropriateness to legalize/approve an existing 6- foot-high, vinyl fence and a rolling slide gate with galvanized steel frame located within the street-side setback (defined as a front yard) adjacent to Grant Street . The fence and gate extends along the western (Grant Street) and northern (rear) property lines at the northwestern rear portion of the lot around a parking area. Site photographs are included as attachment B.
The a
pplicant’s proposal has been revised to pull the fence and the gate back from the sidewalk to the next fence post (approximately 6’0” back from the sidewalk ), to create space to provide a planter area between the sidewalk and the fence for screen ing purposes. Landscaping would be installed (such as a high hed ge up the height of the fence) to screen the vinyl fence, and the sliding gate portion would not be screened.
BACKGRO
UND
The H
istoric and Scenic Preservation Commission held a public hearing on March 2, 2023, received the staff report and the applicant’s presentation, and continued the public hearing to April 6, 2023. The Commission continued the public hearing so that the applicant would have more time to contact the fencing company and explore some design alternatives that were discussed at the meeting (such as use of wood fencing, etc.).
A M
inor Exception Fence Permit a pplication was submitted at the same time with this proposal. The Minor Exception Committee met on March 9, 2023, at the subject property and discussed options regarding the placement and height of the fence. The applicant requested additional time to consider the design alternatives (such as the distance to pull the fence back from the sidewalk ) as well as landscaping screening options . The applicant also needed additional time to be able to discuss the potential fence placement and landscape alternatives with the HSPC (as that may influence the Commission’s decision about the fence material). Therefore, the Minor Exception Committee meeting was continued to a date uncertain.

ANALYSIS
The pr
oposed (revised) fence location will provide approximately six feet (6’0”) of planter space along Grant Street for landscape screening . To fully screen the vinyl fence, the most likely plant selection would be a hedge type shrub that could grow to 6’0” high and be maintained to fully screen the fence. Several hedge options are available that are a columnar variety and a row could be planted abutting the exterior side of the fence. Staff believes that the proposed fence location pulled back 6’0” will provide sufficient space to provide a dense landscape screen for the fence.
The ex
ception is the sliding gate portion that could not be screened with and significant landscaping or hedge, because a functional driveway would still be needed to the rear parking area behind the house.
How
ever, the revised proposal does not change the material of the fence and the gate, and exposed vinyl paired with the predominantly wood- sided house within a Historic District is still not consistent with City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual . If the vinyl fence is fully screened with a hedge and landscaping at all times, then the proposal may be more consistent with the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards.
ENVI
RONMENTAL REVIEW
If
the proposal is deemed to be consistent with the applicable Secretary of Interior Standards and the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual, then the change would be considered to be satisfactorily mitigated and is a less than significant impact (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(b)(3)). In that case, CEQA Guidelines Section 1530 3 (New Construction of Small Structures) may be utilized for the project.
If
the proposal to use vinyl fencing is deemed to be not consistent with the applicable Secretary of Interior Standards and the City’s Historic a nd Scenic Preservation Manual, then the proposal would likely not be able to use an exemption from environmental review.
Significant changes to historic resources are considered to be a potentially significant impact on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064.5(b)(1) and 15064.5(b)(2)).
Alternatively, CEQA Guidelines Section 15270 may be utilized that pertains to projects which are disapproved.
ST
AFF RECOMMENDATION
If the
Commission agrees that a high landscape hedge (installed and maintained at 6’0” high) is sufficient to meet the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, then the Commission may make findings to approve COA No. 665 subject to the conditions of approval.

The
Commission may also make further suggestions for any changes that may be needed to achieve consistency with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual. The applicant may make further submittals of other alternative materials or designs, if necessary, and the hearing may be continued.
Al

The
applicant is requesting approval of a Minor Certificate of Appropriateness to legalize/approve an existing 6- foot-high, vinyl fence and a rolling slide gate with galvanized steel frame located within the street-side setback (defined as a front yard) adjacent to Grant Street. The fence and gate extends along the wester n (Grant Street) and northern (rear) property lines at the northwestern rear portion of the lot around a parking area. Site photographs are included as attachment B.
The ap

front of the fence and gate, etc.). The hearing was continued again to May 4, 2023.
A M
inor Exception Fence Permit application was submitted at the same time with this proposal. The Minor Exception Committee previously met on March 9, 2023, at the subject property and discussed options regarding the placement and height of the fence. The applicant requested additional time to consider the design alternatives (such as the distance to pull the fence back from the sidewalk) as well as landscaping screening options. The applicant also needed additional time to be able to discuss the potential fence placement and landscape alternatives with the HSPC (as that may influence the Commission’s decision about the fence material). Therefore, the Minor Exception Committee meeting was continued to a date uncertain.
ANALY
SIS
The
proposed fence location will provide approximately six feet (6’0”) of planter space along Grant Street for landscape screening. To fully screen the vinyl fence, the most appropriate plant selection would likely be a tall hedge type shrub that could grow to 6’0” high and be maintained to fully screen the fence. Several hedge plant options were discussed with the applicant that are of a columnar variety, and a row could be planted abutting the exterior side of the fence. Staff believes that the proposed fence location pulled back 6’0” will provide sufficient space to provide a dense landscape screen for the fence.
The appli
cant is proposing to plant honeysuckle plants or climbing rose bushes on each trellis to screen the fence panels (that sliding gate portion could not be screened with landscape). Honeysuckle tends to have denser foliage and is faster growing compared to a rose bush. The proposed honeysuckle is likely a more appropriate selection due to the density of foliage and the potential to grow to 6’0” high within a few years ; however, staff’s concern is that this would not have sufficient dens ity of foliage (and thus immediate screening) as compared to the types of plants that were discussed with the applicant (i.e., a dense row of tall columnar type hedges that would provide immediate screening).
In
stalling wood veneer or wood slats on the gate would be consistent with the Commission’s previous suggestions. The redwood trellis in front of each vinyl panel will help to screen the fencing , except that the posts will only be screened with landscaping and may remain somewhat exposed and apparent to plain view from the public right -of- way.
How
ever, the revised proposal does not change the material of the fence and the gate, and exposed vinyl paired with the predominantly wood- sided house within a Historic District is still not consistent with City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual .

with redwood trellis and hedge type landscaping (except the posts) , then the proposal may be more consistent with the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards . However, a landscape screen would be required to be maintained in place and in good condition at all times by the present owners as well as any future property owners.
ENVI
RONMENTAL REVIEW
If
the proposal is deemed to be consistent with the applicable Secretary of Interior Standards and the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual, then the change would be considered to be satisfactorily mitigated and is a less than significant impact (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(b)(3)). In that case, CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (New Construction of Small Structures) may be utilized for the project.
If
the proposal to use vinyl fencing is deemed to be not consistent with the applicable Secretary of Interior Standards and the City’s Historic a nd Scenic Preservation Manual, then the proposal would likely not be able to use an exemption from environmental review. Significant changes to historic resources are considered to be a potentially significant impact on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064.5(b)(1) and 15064.5(b)(2)). Alternatively, CEQA Guidelines Section 15270 may be utilized that pertains to projects which are disapproved.
ST
AFF RECOMMENDATION
If the
Commission agrees that putting redwood trellises in front of the fence panels , putting veneer or wood slats on the gate and planting honeysuckle, or climbing rose bushes is sufficient to meet the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards , then the Commission may make findings to approve COA No. 665 subject to the conditions of approval.
The C
ommission may also make further suggestions for any changes that may be needed to achieve consistency with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and t he City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual. The applicant may make further submittals of other alternative materials or designs, if necessary, and the hearing may be continued.
Al
ternatively, if the Commission finds that the proposed revisions and conditions of approval are not sufficient to meet the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards , then the Commission may make findings to deny COA No. 665.

PRO
POSAL
The
applicant is requesting approval of a Minor Certificate of Appropriateness to legalize/approve an existing 6- foot-high, vinyl fence and a rolling slide gate with galvanized steel frame located within the street-side setback (defined as a front yard) adjacent to Grant Street. The fence and gate extends along the wester n (Grant Street) and northern (rear) property lines at the northwestern rear portion of the lot around a parking area. Site photographs are included as attachment B.
The ap
plicant is proposing to pull the fence and the gate back from the sidewalk to the next fence post (approximately 6’0” back from the sidewalk ), paint the fence and the gate, install two green vinyl coated steel trellises in front of each fence panel, and plant climbing rose bushes to screen the fence.

The H
istoric and Scenic Preservation Commission held the continued public hearing on April 6, 2023. The applicant revised their proposal so that the fence and gate would be placed six feet (6’0”) back from the sidewalk ( to the next available fence post) to create space to provide a 6’0” wide planter area between the sidewalk and the fence ( for Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023

landscape screening purposes) . The C ommission received the staff report and the applicant’s presentation, and continued the public hearing to May 4, 2023, so that the applicant would have more time to explore more design alternatives that were discussed at the meeting (such as possibly painting the fence, putting wood slats in front of the fence and gate, etc.). The hearing was continued again to May 4, 2023.
The H
istoric and Scenic Preservation Commission held the continued public hearing on May 4, 2023. The applicant revised their proposal so that the fence and gate would be placed six feet (6’0”) back from the sidewalk (to the next available fence post) , paint the gate only, put redwood trellises in front of fence panels (one in front of each panel along Grant Street only), and plant Star Jasmine to screen the fence which would not include the gate. The Comm ission received the staff report and the applicant’s presentation, and continued the public hearing to June 1 , 2023, so that the applicant would have more time to explore a wider type of wood trellis that was suggested by the Commission (shown as “Attachment E”) and provide a sample paint color for painting the fence and gate.
On J
une 1, 2023, the Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission continued the public hearing to July 6, 2023 per the applicant’s request.
A M
inor Exception Fence Permit application was submitted at the same time with this proposal. The Minor Exception Committee previously met on March 9, 2023, at the subject property and discussed options regarding the placement and height of the fence. The applicant requested additional time to consider the design alternatives (such as the distance to pull the fence back from the sidewalk) as well as landscaping screening options. The applicant also needed additional time to be able to discuss the potential fence placement and landscape alternatives with the HSPC (as that may influence the Commission’s decision about the fence material). Therefore, the Minor Exception Committee meeting was continued to a date uncertain.
ANALY
SIS
The
proposed fence location w ill provide approximately six feet (6’0”) of planter space along Grant Street for landscape screening. To fully screen the vinyl fence, the most appropriate plant selection would likely be a tall hedge type shrub that could grow to 6’0” high and be maintained to fully screen the fence. Several hedge plant options were discussed with the applicant that are of a columnar variety, and a row could be planted abutting the exterior side of the fence. Staff believes that the proposed fence location pulled back 6’0” will provide sufficient space to provide a dense landscape screen for the fence.
Pai
nting the fence and the gate would be consistent with the Commission’s previous suggestions. However, the proposal of installing two green vinyl -coated trellises in front Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023

of each fence panel would not be consistent with the wooden trellis that was suggested by the C ommission previously (shown in Attachment E) and does not have enough coverage to screen the width of each fence panel.
The appli
cant is also proposing to plant climbing rose bushes to screen the fence panels, not including the sliding gate. The proposed rose bushes drop their leaves in the fall or early winter and would not be an appropriate screening option. Staff believes Star Jasmine, which was proposed at the May 4 th meeting, is evergreen and tends to have denser foliage compared to rose bushes and may be more appropriate. The types of plants that were discussed with the applicant (i.e., a dense row of tall columnar type hedges that would provide immediate screening), would be appropriate options as well.
Overall, staff believes the current proposal is not consistent with the suggestions received by the Commission at the May 4th meeting.
How
ever, the revised proposal does not change the material of the fence and the gate.
The residence is a predominantly wood-sided structure within a Historic District and the fencing material and gate proposed is still no t consi stent with the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual. If the vinyl gate is disguised with paint color, and the vinyl fence is painted and fully screened at all times with wooden trellises (see Attachment E) with a tall dense hedge -type landscaping (except the posts ), then the proposal may be more consistent with the City’s Historic and Scenic Preservation Manual and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards . However, a landscape screen would be required to be maintained in place and in good condition at all times on all three sides (north, south and west) by the present owners as well as any future property owners.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1 . California Environmental Quality Act. The Appeal is exempt from environmental review in accordance with Section 15270 of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). Pursuant to Section 15 270 (Projects Which Are Disapproved) of the CEQA Guidelines, proposals which a public agency rejects or disapproves are not subject to environmental review. In addition, as currently proposed by the appellant, the vinyl fence and gate may significantly alter a historic resource/district and may cause potentially significant impacts to the environment or a historic resource as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.
Section 2. Findings for Denying the Appeal. The City Council denies the Appeal and upholds the decision of the Historic & Scenic Preservation Commission that denied Certificate of Appropriateness No. 665, based upon the following findings:
A. The proposed fence /gate material, height, prominent location, and visibility within a historic district are not compatible with the subject property or the surrounding Historic District No. 8, and are not compatible with the city’s Historic & Scenic Preservation Manual nor the applicable provisions of the Secretary of Interior’s Standards; and
B. The Historic & Scenic Preservation Commission held four consecutive meetings (public hearings) at which multiple alternatives were suggested to the applicant to consider appropriate fence materials, exterior treatments, landscaping or screening in order to achieve consistency with the city’s Historic & Scenic Preservation Manual and the applicable Secretary of Interior’s Standards; and
C. The applicant/appellant declined to accept any suggested alternatives for their proposal, and the applicant/appellant had proposed alternative materials and landscape screening methods that the Commission determined would not be consistent with the city’s Historic & Scenic Preservation Manual or the applicable provisions of the Secretary of Interior’s Standards; and
D. The proposed vinyl fence/gate material and prominent location on the subject property will significantly and detrimentally alter a historic resource and surrounding historic district, which may be a potentially significant impact to a historic resource as defined by CEQA, and therefore is not exempt from environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines; and
E. The findings contained in Resolution No. 2023 -15 adopted by the Historic & Scenic Preservation Commission are hereby incorporated by reference.
Section 3. Denial of Appeal. The City Council hereby denies the Appeal of the decision by the Historic & Scenic Preservation Commission denying Certificate of Appropriateness No. 665, and the Commission’s denial of Certificate of Appropriateness No. 665 is affirmed and upheld.
Section 4. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective upon adoption.

MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that the Planning Commission’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8513 and approve Amendment No. 1 to the Transit Villages Specific Plan, and I further move that the City Council determine that adoption of Resolution No. 8513 is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 11, 2023, and August 8, 2023, and recommended that the City Council approve and adopt the proposed amendment. The Commission recommended allowing internally illuminated wall and canopy signs for all zoning districts within the Transit Villages Specific Plan (except for designated historic buildings or properties that would be permitted to have external illumination only), and also include general regulations limiting sign illumination brightness to prevent any public nuisances from sign lighting.
DISCUSSION:
The Transit Villages Specific Plan (Specific Plan No. 65) was adopted on October 22, 2022. The accompanying Environmental Impact Report was also certified and adopted on October 22, 2022. The entire Transit Villages Specific Plan (TVSP) area, which covers approximately 947 acres (or 1.5 square miles), has the following general boundaries: to the west by Kansas Street, Redlands Boulevard, Alabama Street, and Tennessee Street; to the north by Interstate 10, Colton Avenue, and Sylvan Boulevard; to the east by Judson Street; and to the Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023
378 of 469
south by Citrus Avenue, Central Avenue, Redlands Boulevard, Olive Avenue, Brookside Avenue, Ash Street, Pine Avenue, Tennessee Street, and State Street. The TVSP area also includes the parcels along both sides of Orange Street between Colton Avenue and Lugonia Avenue (see Attachment A).
Amendment No. 1 to the Transit Villages Specific Plan (TVSP) consists of the components described below (see Attachment E for the proposed new and amended text).
B) Wall Signs
Currently, the TVSP sign standards do not permit internal illumination for new wall signs in all TVSP districts (only external illumination is allowed). Internally illuminated signs (such as channel letters) are prevalent in most shopping centers and commercial corridors throughout the area. Allowing the continued use of internally illuminated wall signs in these shopping centers, corridors, and other contemporary buildings will not diminish or detract from the aesthetic and architectural quality of the built environment. Historic buildings that are included on the City’s list of designated historic resources may only have external illumination for their wall signs (not internally illuminated signs).
C) Canopy Signs
Currently, the TVSP sign standards do not permit internal illumination for new canopy signs in all TVSP districts (only external illumination is allowed). Internal illumination for canopy signs is commonly used (such as channel letters), similar to wall signs. The revised sign code will allow internally illuminated canopy signs in all TVSP districts, except for historic buildings that are on the City’s list of designated historic resources. Buildings designated as local Historic Resources may only have external illumination for any canopy signs.
D) Sign Brightness
The existing City of Redlands Sign Code (Chapter 15.36 of the Redlands Municipal Code) currently includes maximum brightness standards for certain types of signs, as listed in RMC Section 15.36.130. Many sign codes in other cities contain general prohibitions on sign luminosity of such brightness that it becomes a public nuisance or interferes with viewing of traffic signals. Many sign codes also contain general prohibitions against flashing, blinking, spinning, or moving signs.
“15.36.130: MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS:
Internally illuminated signs shall be limited to the following maximum brightness:
Neon signs: Shall not exceed thirty milliamps (30 mA).A.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023
379 of 469
Exposed incandescent bulbs: Shall not exceed fifteen (15) watts. (Ord. 2552 §1, 2004)”
B.
Using these existing standards as a guide, similar standards can be applied within the Transit Villages Specific Plan area for consistency (i.e., new subsection within Section 4.9 of Chapter 4). Sign illumination would be consistent with the above, any external lighting must include shielding to limit glare or overspill, and the new regulations will help prevent any nuisance conditions (such as prohibiting signs that would spin, flash, change colors or intensity, or impact any nearby residential properties).
E) Sign Standards for Special District 1
Currently, properties such as schools located in Special District 1 (SD1) of the Transit Villages Specific Plan do not have explicit sign standards. The amendment would permit SD1 properties to have signs consistent with the normal sign regulations that otherwise pertain to the C-3, General Commercial zone as specified in Title 15 of the Redlands Municipal Code, Chapter 15.36 (Sign Code).
F) Standards for Emergency Shelters
Recent changes to State law allow only certain objective development standards and operating standards to be applied to emergency shelters. Assembly Bill (AB) 2339 became effective on January 1, 2023, and revised Government Code section 65583(a)(4) to list the objective development and operating standards. Other development standards and those that are not objective, and which are not explicitly allowed by statute, would no longer be applicable or enforceable. The City Council Resolution (Attachment E) contains the proposed text amendments to Section 4.8 of the Transit Villages Specific Plan.
G) General Plan Consistency
The proposed text amendments will continue to be consistent with the 2035 General Plan and more than 100 Policies and Actions contained in the 2035 General Plan. The applicable General Plan policies were provided and discussed in Attachment C-3 to the Planning Commission staff report of October 5, 2022 (available at https://www.cityofredlands.org/meeting-agendas-minutes ).
No specific findings are required for the proposed amendment, other than determining the proposal is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of California Government Code Sections 65453 and 65454 pertaining to specific plans, including the requirements for amending a specific plan.
H) Environmental Review
Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023
380 of 469
The proposed text amendments to the Transit Villages Specific Plan (Specific Plan No. 65) will change minor sign regulations contained within the specific plan, as well as update the existing standards for emergency shelter land uses.
The text amendments do not and would not result directly in any development of any parcel of land or any direct or indirect environmental effects. As such, the Planning Commission recommended that the proposed amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15061(b)(3) is commonly referred to as the general rule exemption and exempts projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can continue consideration of the Specific Plan Amendment and direct staff to bring back additional information or modify as directed; or,
2. The City Council can deny the Resolution.

4.2.1. REGULATING PLAN AND ZONES
A. Purpose. This Section establishes the zones applied to property within the specific plan area. The Regulating Plan (Figure 4-1 on pages 4:3-4:4) divides the specific plan area into separate zones that are based on intensities that range from the most intense types of development and land use within the specific plan area to the least intense types, with all zones allowing a broad and varied mixture of land uses.
Each zone allocates land uses and provides detailed standards for building placement, height, massing, articulation, frontage, landscape, and parking.

B. Applicability. The requirements of this Section apply to all renova- tions of existing buildings, all additions to existing buildings, and new buildings within the TVSP area.
C. Sign Permit and Review Requirements. Sign permits and/or build- ing permits shall be required per Section 15.36.080 (Permits and Fees) and 15.36.090 (Permit Submittal Requirements) of the Redlands Sign Code and may be approved by Development Services staff, unless discretionary review is required as specified herein.
D. General Design Standards.
1. Location and Placement
a. Each sign shall be located on the same site as the subject of the sign.
b. In order to avoid sign clutter , signage shall only be allowed on facades that have building entrances.
c. Ground floor business within a building may have one or multiple storefront signs. See Section 15.36.050 (Area
Measurement) and Section 15.36.060 (Height
Measurement) of the Redlands Municipal Code for sign area and height measurement definitions. The maximum num-
ber of signs allowed per building shall per the requirements of the applicable zone (see Sections 4.3.1.H, 4.3.1.H,
4.3.3.H, 4.3.4.H, 4.3.5.H, and 4.3.6.H) and as identified for each sign type (see Section 4.9.F).
d. Upper floor businesses may be identified by Building Identification Signs for principal tenants (see Section
4.9.F.7) and/or Directory Signs (see Section 4.9.F.13). e. Logos or identification symbols are considered signs and shall conform to all requirements of this section.
f. Signs shall not cover , obscure, or interfere with the operation of windows, doors, storefronts, and/or building entrances.
Signs shall not cover or obscure architectural features of the building, including, but not limited to, transoms, cornices, columns, or other architectural elements, details, or orna- mentation.
2. Size. The gross area of all signs on a building facade shall not exceed 10% of the total area of the facade. The maximum sign dimensions and area of each individual sign shall be as identi- fied in the requirements for each allowed sign type (see Section
4.9.F).
3. C olor. Colors on signs and structural members shall be harmo- nious with one another and relate to the dominant colors of the buildings on the project site. Contrasting colors can be utilized if the overall effect of the sign is still compatible with building colors.
4. Design and construction.
a. Except for banners, flags, temporary signs, and temporary window signs conforming with the requirements of
Section 15.36, Article VIII (Temporary Signs) of the Redlands Municipal Code, each sign shall be constructed of perma- nent materials and shall be permanently attached to the ground, a building, or another structure by direct attachment to a rigid wall, frame, or structure.
b. Each permanent sign shall be designed by a professional (e.g., architect, building designer, landscape architect, inte- rior designer, or others whose principal business is the design, manufacture, or sale of signs), or who are capable of producing professional results.
c. Each permanent sign shall be constructed by persons whose principal business is building construction or a relat- ed trade including sign manufacturing and installation, or others capable of producing professional results. The intent is to ensure public safety, achieve signs of careful construction, neat and readable copy, and durability, to reduce maintenance costs, and prevent dilapidation.
5. Materials and structure.
a. Sign materials (including framing and supports) shall be representative of the type and scale of materials used on the project site where the sign is located. Sign materials shall match those used on the building(s) on the project site and any other signs on the project site.
b. Signs shall not include reflective material.
c. Materials for permanent signs shall be durable and capable of withstanding weathering over the life of the sign with rea- sonable maintenance.
d. The size of the structural members (e.g. columns, cross - beams, and braces) shall be in proportion with the sign panel they are supporting.
e. The use of individual letters incorporated into the building facade design is encouraged, rather than a sign with back- ground and framing other than the structure wall.
5. Street address. The City may require that a sign include the street address of the project site, where it determines that public safety and emergency vehicle response would be
more effectively served than if the street address were dis- played solely on one or more buildings on the project site.

City Council/Financing Authority Meeting L. 1.
DATE: 09/19/2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Consideration of an agreement with Reliance Safety Consultants for occupational training to City employees for the period August 1, 2023 through August 1, 2026, with two optional one-year extensions for a total not to exceed amount of $425,000 (Assistant City Manager McConnell)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve a three-year agreement with Reliant Safety Consultants to provide occupational training to City employees for the period of August 1, 2023, through August 1, 2026, with two optional one-year extensions for a total not to exceed amount of $425,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council approve the agreement with Reliant Safety Consultants for occupational safety training services.
DISCUSSION:
City staff, particularly field staff, are required by Cal/OSHA (California Occupational Safety and Health Administration) to undergo safety training to ensure a safe working environment. These training courses cover essential topics such as hazard identification, proper equipment usage, emergency procedures, and compliance with safety regulations. By equipping staff with the knowledge and skills to identify and mitigate potential risks, these trainings uphold regulatory requirements, reduce the likelihood of accidents, injuries, and costly liabilities, while promoting the well-being of both staff and the public they Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023
413 of 469
serve.
Cal/OSHA mandates that safety training is conducted by a competent person who is authorized to train staff for several reasons. First, a competent trainer ensures the quality and accuracy of the training content, providing staff with reliable information on safety protocols. Second, authorized trainers possess the expertise to tailor training to the specific needs and risks of the city’s operations, making sessions more relevant and effective. Third, this requirement helps maintain consistent standards. By entrusting this training to authorized competent individuals, the City can ensure that staff are well-prepared to handle potential hazards and can promote a culture of safety.
On April 25, 2023, Human Resources/Risk Management issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit qualified Occupational Health and Safety Consultant Services to conduct required safety training, tests, and evaluations. The RFP was developed seeking qualifications, similar experience, and pricing. The RFP was posted on Planet Bids and five organizations responded: Reliance Safety Consultants, Pacific Safety Center, Maerly, Safety Center, and Hazardous Materials Institute. Reliance Safety Consultants has extensive experience conducting professional safety training and providing consultation services by competent and qualified subject matter experts. Reliance Safety Consultants has strong references from many local government organizations, maintains strong organizational management, and is committed to providing excellent customer service, quality safety training, and consulting services that adhere to regulatory standards.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council may decide not to approve the agreement and provide alternate direction to staff.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council find that approval of a Professional Services Agreement with Miller Architectural Corporation for the design of the City Hall Facility is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. Staff further recommends that City Council approve the Professional Services Agreement with Miller Architecture for the design of the City Hall Facility for an amount not to exceed $1,368,579 and approve an additional appropriation of the same.
DISCUSSION:
On October 1, 2021, the City acquired the facility known as the Citrus Center, located at 300 East State Street for the purpose of developing a new City Hall location. The facility is a six-story building on-street with underground parking.
Currently, the offices of the City Council, City Manager, and City Attorney are located within the building. Once the facility is fully renovated, the Development Services, Facilities and Community Services, Fire Administration, Human Resources, Management Services, and Municipal Utilities and Engineering Departments will also be located within the building. In addition, the building will retain a variety of tenants that pay market rent.
Staff has been in collaboration with an architectural consultant to conduct a space needs analysis and finalize space programming in order to most effectively utilize existing interiors, resulting in minimized costs for construction and interior improvements. The building will include a ground floor with the City Council Chambers, City Clerk's office, a customer service counter and meeting spaces. Floors two through six will house City departments and tenants, with one floor completely occupied by tenants.
In April 2023, staff advertised a Request for Qualifications for the Development of a City Hall Facility. A total of 103 consultants were solicited and 8 responsive bids were received. A selection committee reviewed and ranked each organization in accordance with the City's procurement policy. Miller Architectural Corporation was selected as the most qualified firm, based on their demonstrated competence and professional qualifications deemed necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required.
The scope of work includes plans and specifications for the renovations, including structural retrofit of the building, and construction management. The proposal estimates the process to take approximately two years, with the design drawing completed in June, 2024 and construction beginning in early 2025. Staff will provide periodic updates to the City Council throughout the entire project Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023

process, including construction cost estimates.
The proposed project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act’s guidelines pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3). Section 15061(b)(3) applies to those activities where it is seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Staff has determined that the architectural services and development of construction drawings will not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, approval of the Professional Services Agreement is exempt from further CEQA review.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may elect not to approve the agreement and direct staff accordingly.

City Council/Financing Authority Meeting L. 3.
DATE: 09/19/2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution No.8512 adopting a Five-Year Capital Project Needs Analysis for FY 24/25 through FY 28/29 and determining this action is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris)
MOTION(S):
If City Council determines the staff recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve Resolution No. 8512.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council adoption of Resolution No. 8512.
DISCUSSION:
In November 1989, San Bernardino County voters approved passage of Measure I, which imposes a one-half of one percent retail transaction and use tax within the County of San Bernardino. Although the Measure I tax was scheduled to sunset in 2010, San Bernardino County voters approved the renewal of Measure I in November 2004 for thirty (30) additional years from 2010 to 2040.
The Measure I Strategic Plan requires each local jurisdiction receiving a portion of Measure I revenues to annually adopt a Five-Year Capital Project Needs Analysis (CPNA). The CPNA outlines the specific regional projects on which Measure I funds will be expended. The Measure I CPNA differs from the Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023
442 of 469
Measure I CIP list. The CPNA is specifically for funding arterial projects identified in the most recent San Bernardino Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Nexus Study. Only projects included in the SBCTA Nexus Study are eligible for an allocation of Measure I CPNA Program funding. The project list is updated every two (2) years, which gives cities the opportunity to add and/or update priority projects. SBCTA staff uses the CPNA and additional information to conduct a cash-flow analysis. Once the analysis is completed, a recommendation for apportionment and specific project allocations is considered by the SBCTA Policy Committee and Board of Directors to determine budgets for each jurisdiction for the next five (5) years.
A portion of Measure I funding is combined with Development Impact Fees collected by the City from each new development to construct transportation improvements. The City is required to adopt the attached resolution to remain eligible for its proportional share of Measure I revenue disbursements from SBCTA. Approval of Resolution No. 8512 allows staff to request reimbursement from Measure I revenues when expenditures related to each of the listed projects occur.
Projects listed in the Five-Year CPNA (FY 24/25 through FY 28/29) include:
Widen Citrus Avenue from Dearborn Street to Wabash Avenue from 2 to 4 lanes.
Traffic signal at the intersection of Dearborn Street and Citrus Avenue; Traffic signal at the intersection of Wabash Avenue and Citrus Avenue; Traffic signal at the intersection of Wabash Avenue and 5th Avenue; Adoption of Resolution No. 8512 is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as it can be seen with certainty that approval of this Resolution will have no physical effect on the environment.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may elect to deny the staff recommendation. However, the City will not be eligible for future Measure I revenue disbursements if the Resolution is not adopted.
