. The report of the Planning Commission's meeting of December 18,
1975, was presented noting Mr. Lazzarini withdrew his request with the
understanding that, under the City's Urban Development Polic" he could
apply at a later date as this property was within the City Limits and
did not have to be considered by LAFCO.
Councilman Pate entered at 4:09 p.m., and took his seat at the
Council table.
It was moved by Councilman stout seconded by Councilman Link and
carried that the Council concurs with the Planning Commission's action
regarding the property of Edward Lazzarini and that land outside the Urban
Service Area, but within the City Limits, need not be bound to hearing
constraints of that which would come before LAFCO.
It was noted that the Fllanning Commission, at their meeting of
December 18, 1975, voted to reconsider their prior decision regarding
the Dixie-Rea property, and that the Planning Commission re-affirmed
their decision not to include said property in the Urban Service Area.
It was further noted that a portion of the 193 acres was already in.
Discussion was had on consideration of the remaining 183+ acres in the
Urban Service Area. -
City Administrator Wood noted that water and sewer lines were
extended to the property prior to the freeway construction, and he felt
this property has the best potential for service of any undeveloped
industrial land in the community.
Councilman DeBell stated he would be in a position to reconsider
the matter of the Dixie-Rea property in an effort to create a larger
inventory of industrial land.
The Mayor noted a motion from a councilmember who previously
voted against inclusion of the Dixi-Rea property in the Urban Service
Area was needed for reconsideration by Council.
It was moved by Councilman DeBell seconded by Councilman Childers
and carried that the Council reconsider their previous action of not
including the Dixie-Rea property in the Urban Service Area. Councilmen
Pate and Stout voted IINo."
** (see omission below)
Councilman Pate stated he felt the more suitable piece of property
is the Blocker property south of town and that the City shouldn't begin
developing across the freeway until IIwe decide how far east we want to gO.1I
Councilman Stout was opposed to the decision as the property was
not adjacent to, nor near, the railroad tracks and that he feels rail
service is necessary for industrial development.
The Mayor noted that the type of development was a matter to be
considered at a later date and that putting the property in the Urban
Service Area does not give a green light to the future use of the land.
Further discussion was had at Council level.
It was moved by Councilman Duffin seconded by councilman Link
and carried to amend the previous motion by including the Dixie-Rea
property in the current five-year Urban Service Area. Councilmen Pate
and Stout voted "NolI on the motion.
