Mrs. Chance, 1237 Antonell Court, Beaumont read a letter of request from the Citizens' Group for Upgrading Beaumont Building Code, which is as follows: "June 14, 1971 Hon. Mayor and Beaumont City Councilmen: Beaumont, Calif. Gentlemen: We are requesting the City Council to review the existing building requirements in view of the fact that a new concept in construction and financing is presently not only being considered, but is already being implemented in our community. The values of homes in a community are determined by new types: of development, either positive or negative. The HUD 235 and 236 funding is presently an untried con- cept that has not had time to be evaluated as to how it effects adjacent and nearby properties. Consequently, before we accept this, or modular construction, or any other new idiea in community develop- ment, we request that a more thorough review and evaluation be con- sidered. We request that the City Council take a more active role in the issuance of construction permits in order that citizens' reactions be reflected in future development of the City. We request that appropriate ordinances be considered where the Planning Commission has the authority to serve as a regulatory control committee whereby all new construction be reviewed by the Planning Commission for its impact on the surrounding development. While we would be happy to see our City grow, we feel that grow for growth's sake is NOT progress, but to grow for highest and best use of the land AND the needs of the people IS progress. Sincerely, CITIZENS' GROUP FOR UPGRADING BEAUMONT BLDG. CODE NOTE: This petition has not been circulation city -wide. The signatures hereon are mainly of the residents in the areas involved. However, some residents from farther away wished to make their feelings known and signed also." The heading on the petition reads as follows: "We the following Residents of the City of Beaumont, Do Hereby Request the City Council of the City of Beaumont to pass a 30 day Moritorium on the Issuance of Building Permits for Single Family Residential Dwellings in order for said City to closely review the present requirements for said Residences. We further recommend said City Council to be extremely cautious on type of Housing proposed for this community in the immediate Future, Including Low -Cost and/ or High Density type Residences." Mayor Haskell at this time extended thanks to the Citizen Committee and asked if they are after architectural controls. Mr. Znykowski, Cherry Avenue asked question of Mr. Don Warner of the Planning Commission regarding was this brought to the Planning Commission. Was informed it was not necessary, since this subdivision ..rr was approved and finaled several years ago. Mrs. Remy, 1300 Blk. Michigan spoke against this low -cost housing program. Mrs. Chance asked whether they checked with the schools before starting this project. Mayor Haskell spoke regarding FHA financing and controls and the fact that HUD and FHA operate under same funds and under same controls. Mrs. Chance spoke again regarding the points system of FHA. Mrs. Ethel Remy, of Mich. Avenue spoke regarding trying to differen- tiate between the straight FHA and Subsidized housing. Mr. Remy spoke regarding the subsidized housing. Jack Chamberlin, Mich. Avenue feels they are stuck with this housing, however feels building codes should be updated and asked how close to side lot lines houses can be built. Mayor Haskell stated present laws state min. lot size is 60' wide, 5' side yard setbacks, min. 7200 sq. ft. in lot size, min. size of dwelling is 850 sq. ft. per housing unit in the R -1 Zone. Bud Mathewson, 1299 Penn. Avenue spoke about upgrading the building codes and can they as citizens control the quality of building, such as lot size, bedroom size, garage size, etc. 2691. City Manager Ward stated should set up committee to,work with the Planning Commission on land use, and possibly up grade any future subdivisions. Mr. Paul Remy, stated the City of Beaumont has progressively built better housing and does not feel HUD is operating legally. Bill Jones, 1380 Orange spoke regarding the subsidized housing. Mr. Jack Chamberlin spoke regarding these being built to minimum standards. Mr. Mathewson spoke said the government would pick up the tab is they cannot meet their payments. Was stated that 3 houses have been sold and in one instance to one woman with 9 children. Mayor Haskell asked what is going to happen to this woman with 9 �.. children if they are not welcome in one neighborhood, where are they welcome. d' QMr. Remy spoke again about this type of housing. Q City Attorney stated you cannot do anything with what has already transpired, the building codes are set by the State. The City can up grade zoning and land use, however city cannot legislate res- trictions only the original subdivider may do so. Bill Jones spoke again. Mr. Blaze, 1300 Blk Mich. Avenue spoke about the subsidized housing. City Manager Ward spoke ref: City of Pomona and what they have done, stating they had passed resolution opposing Section 236 of the FHA, however they declined to pass resolution opposing Section 235. It was stated you cannot legislate against a Federal Statute. Jack Chamberlin asked about architectural controls. Was stated it would be a violation of the constitution. Was stated that deed restrictions are put on the property by the Subdivider and not the City. Mayor Haskell asked if they could have a small group of the citizen committee to work with the Planning Commission regarding Subdivision Ord. and Land Use Ord., such as 5 or 6 persons on the committee. City Attorney recommends no more than 5 or even less than 5 persons on the committee. Mr. Don Warner of the Planning Commission stated takes longer than 30 days to study changes for new or amended ordinances. The group was invited to attend a Planning Commission meeting to be held on June 24th, 1971. Regarding the request for a 30 day moratorium on building, Mayor Haskell does not feel in good conscious he could declare a moratorium. Mrs. Remy spoke again. Ti V _ City Attorney Berk stated he wants it to be placed in the Council minutes that he is opposed to the Council placing a 30 day moratorium on building, that the council would be inviting a lawsuit by doing SO. Dean Brennan asked several questions as to how Banning has by- passed the 235 program. Was stated that Banning has not bypassed the 235 program that they have some houses built under this type of financing program. Was stated possibly could require that every time a building permit r■�' is applied for could be reviewed by the City Council. City Manager Ward felt that committee should meet with Mr. Bentley of FHA to answer any questions they have. Should be limited to 5 members of the committee and not the entire Citizens Committee. Should be encouraged to put everything in writing. Mayor Haskell spoke regarding council adopting a resolution that no building permit be issued until it is reviewed by the City Council, whether it could be done or not. It was not felt this would be the proper step to take. Was recommended that this matter be deferred. Mr. Burhop spoke about this matter. Was asked if area survey taken on these houses and was the city aware was FHA. Should have checked whether schools or city can handle it. Mr. Jack Mobley spoke. City Attorney stated to place a moratorium the city would be inviting a lawsuit. Jack Chamberlin asked would it be possible to enjoin the FHA. Mr. Brennan spoke regarding committee and the moratorium and feels would be detrimental to place a 30 day moratorium. City Manager Ward feels this would be a deprivation of private rights. Mr. Brennan feels the moratorium should be aside. Mr. Bud Mathewson spoke again. Councilman Hightower made a motion, seconded by Councilman Valdivia: That the petition and 30 day moratorium be tabled and that a copy be forwarded to Mr. Bentley of FHA when he meets with members of the citizen's committee. Ayes: Councilman Mason, Valdivia, Hightoue r and Haskell Noes: None. Absent: Councilman Rodeman.
