PUBLIC COMMENT
Jeffrey McConnell, Grand Terrace stated whenever there is a typographical error in a
staff report, it is corrected at the City Council meeting. On August 1, 2019, the Planning
Commission was to hear his application for a Conditional Use Permit however there
was a typographical error in the hearing notice which was brought to the attention of
staff and the City Attorney. The City Attorney recommended that the item be
rescheduled to correct the error and Mr. McConnell wants to know why it couldn't be
corrected at the public hearing which caused his project to be delayed one month.
Mayor McNaboe asked why the City Council does not need to bring Agenda Item G.6
back to City Council due to the typographical error in the staff report.
Adrian Guerra, City Attorney stated in Mr. McConnell's case, it was a public hearing
notice and the purpose of a public hearing notice is to provide the public with a good
idea of what is going to be discussed at the public hearing. In that instance, the size of
the property was described as 0.5 acres when in fact the actual property is five acres.
Accordingly, the public hearing notice was providing incorrect notice of what the actual
project was. For that reason, he recommended, and staff agreed, to cancel the public
hearing and re-notice it to ensure that the notice is accurate. In the case of Agenda Item
G.6, the addresses for the properties that are at issue and being sold are correct, the
APN numbers that are identified on the agenda are correct, they all reference the same
properties that are subject to the purchase and sale agreement, and they are not
pointing to any other property. There was an interchange between two of the properties,
but those two properties are still subject to the purchase and sale agreement.
Bobbie Forbes, Grand Terrace does not want apartment complexes built at the location
but would be okay if apartments were built on top of retail businesses.
Council Member Jeff Allen moved to approve the item with the correction to the
assessor parcel numbers outlined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement in Staff
Recommendation No. 1.
1. APPROVE THE AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL
PROPERTY AND JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS BETWEEN THE CITY OF
