Redlands Daily Facts’ reporter Sandra Emerson has recently covered articles regarding the case of residential development around Redlands Municipal Airport area.
The Case
A proposal from Diversified Pacific LLC for a residential development of 55-single family lots was presented to the City Council and approved by Planning Commission in fall 2014. Before that, a public hearing was held in July to discuss the possibility of rezoning a part of the city’s Agricultural Preserve land to residential estate, which would be constructed by Diversified Pacific. In December, the developer brought the plan Redlands Airport Advisory Board but facing inquiries and raised concerns of residential encroachment could jeopardize the airport operations in the future.

According to the updated plan, the helicopter flight pattern was moved 1000 feet to the north of San Bernardino Avenue. Also in the plan is the revision of safety zones surrounding the airport (City of Redlands, 2015). As shown in figure 1, zone B2 was cut back and replace by C designation, which is the common traffic pattern. The city moved zone C so that Redlands Sports Park could be built, and due to the less strict regulations of residential occupation, the area open more opportunities for developments. Most of the land covered in the recent project is in the C zone. Although the plan for the residential construction conform to Redlands’ General Plan, pilots and Airport Advisory Board were against this program and argued that although flying pattern was limited in zone B2, zone C will likely to be affected by noises. After
First, rezoning action is quasi-judicial in nature, subject to strict scrutiny on certiorari review. Second, a landowner who demonstrates that proposed use of the property is consistent with comprehensive plan is not presumptively entitled to such use. Third, a landowner seeking to rezone a property has burden of proving that proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan, and consequently burden shifts to the zoning board to demonstrate legitimate public purpose of maintaining existing zoning classification. Finally, the board is not
The proposed project will be located, “in the northwest portion of the City of San Marcos in North San Diego County. The site is situated to the west of the northern terminus of Las Posas Road, southwest of the San Marcos Highlands Specific Plan Area, northwest of the Santa Fe Hills residential community, and east of unincorporated lands within San Diego County”. The citation and all detail regarding the project come from the initial study, “CITY OF SAN MARCOS INITIAL STUDY EIR 16-001 MURAI SPECIFIC PLAN”. The area is currently undeveloped, but lays adjacent to an already existing residential area. The project area will be accessed from the public Las Posas Road.
If the lot you want to build on is not properly zoned for your proposed development, you must obtain the proper zoning by filing an application for a zoning change. The process takes approximately 12 weeks and includes two public hearings. If you would like to file for a zoning change, it is recommended that you make an appointment with a planner before coming into the office. Call (214) 670-4209 to make an appointment or for more information regarding the rezoning process.
With a growing real estate market, investors can expect a good return on their investment. In addition, the industries within the town bring in new residents and potential business income.
It would then seem only appropriate for the city to use the abandoned site as its primary snow dump, ironically hiding the reclaimed land. The Bayview Yards is cut with roads, railways and transit ways, leaving the barren landscape feeble and unattractive. Although interest has sparked to rekindle the site, city council member, Randolph Wang, stressed that an extensive study “to evaluate the financial feasibility, explore the suitable…design of urban form, and establish an implementation strategy” is required before further action can be made.
The Iowa City Zoning Code was designed to be developed together with the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan; the goal is to stimulate the progress of a better quality of life for the population. Moreover, the regulations cover the provisions of the law for land use control in Iowa City. The document regulates the land use authorization for each of the zones and details the specific areas outlined in Iowa City. There are many land use area in the Iowa City Zoning Ordinance, as shown in Map 1 (Appendix C). However, this document will cover the use of residential land and will explain three of them: the Low-Density Single-Family Residential Zone (RS-5), Medium Density Multi-Family Residential Zone (RM-20), and Neighborhood Stabilization Residential
There is emphasis on the responsibility that planners must serve the interest of the public through techniques that inform and structure debates and foster understanding (OPPI, n.d.). Members should respect the diversity of needs and values of the public while providing clear and accurate information on planning matters. These sections also cover the consequences on the natural and built environment. Through the planner’s action it is evident that he has neglected the interest of the public and has put the values of the developer first by presenting limited information. The planner did not foster understanding by providing clear and accurate information. Instead the information provided was vague and was not accurately represented since affects were not covered adequately in terms of the long-term consequences. Section 2.7 to 2.9 in the CIP addresses the fact that planners are responsible for disclosing full information when possible conflict of interest arise (OPPI, n.d.). In this case the developer and their proposed development and the public and the adjacent environmentally sensitive area created a conflict of interest. the conflict of interest was that the developer wanted to develop a community that aligns with their proposed plan whereas existing residents wanted to change the proposed plan to protect the forest. Since a conflict of interest arose the planner was responsible for

With the rapid growth of commercial air travel in the 1970s, the FAA recognized that the nation’s airports contributed significantly to the national economy and international commerce, as well as being a critical mode of transport for the public. Airports needed funding to improve safety and maintain airport infrastructure such as runways, taxiways, NAVAIDS, and land acquisition. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) formed the National Airport System Plan (NASP) to ensure these significant airports received Federal grants to make these improvements. The FAA revised the NASP with the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 and called the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) to reflect the further expansion.
Your Planning Commission (PC) publicly hears rezoning proposals, considering their long-term effects. Your property is surrounded by Agricultural Zones with Multiple Family Housing across the street. Rezoning to a General Business District would create an unconnected zone called a “spot zone.” This is the allowance of a more “intensive” use of land than your neighbors. While your karate studio may not be bothersome, a zoning change is permanent, meaning your site could become far more intensive in the future and may disrupt your neighbors. It is unlikely the township will favor this option. You could possibly sue. The courts utilize a comprehensive plan, which Lake Township lacks, to judge the legality of the “spot zone.” However, rezoning is still inadvisable since the new zone will compound problems by making your residence a “non-conforming” use. Your house would be “grandfathered in,” meaning you could continue using it, but a non-conforming use cannot expand, change, or significantly improve. . Perhaps the best argument is, a likelier and less intensive route
The land that was chosen for the Airport site was in Adams County but it lacked infrastructure development. This means DIA will need to create that infrastructure like water, power, and sewage disposal. In turn, this will increase DIA project costs. In the case study from Project management: a systems approach to planning, scheduling and controlling, Adams County also negotiated an agreement with DIA but it limited DIA “to such businesses as airline maintenance, cargo, small package delivery, and other such airport-related activities” (Kerzner, 2001, p. 643). In both the examples, we see that negative stakeholder involvement was detrimental to
Over a period of two years the developer was able to acquire sufficient real state to cross the threshold needed to qualify for SAP- Special Area Planning Zoning. It allowed them more flexibility on the open space requirements and density limits. Also, the special zoning allowed an arrangement with the local government to integrate the Eighth Street Metromover Station into the complex.

When people learn that I practice and preach about chastity, many are taken back. It’s not often that you find a young, teenage girl unashamed in her choice to remain pure. I’ve accepted that if I’m going to live a pure lifestyle, I can’t expect the world to understand my decision.
