ITEM 4
MAJOR USE PERMIT P81-13 MODIFICATION
RANCHO ARBOLITOS SWIM & TENNIS CLUB
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. This item was continued from July 16,
1991 at the request of Standard Pacific, operators of the Rancho Arbolitos Swim
& Tennis Club. Staff has initiated consideration of a modification to the use
permit issued for the club in response to Standard Pacific's request to light
the remaining three tennis courts. The original plans approved for the club
placed the tennis courts below the surrounding homes. However, actual con-
ditions reveal the tennis courts at a higher elevation than the homes. Staff
recommends that courts 7 and 8 be lit, and court 9, which is directly adjacent
to the residences on the east, remain unlit to reduce lighting impacts. The
second page of the resolution needs amendment to change the tennis court numbers
from 6, 7 and 8, to 7, 8 and 9. Staff recommends approval with these changes.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Jack Tone, 13106 Woodmont Street
Edward Berger, 13112 Woodmont Street

ITEM 9.1
ORDINANCE NO. 336
WAIVER OF TWICE-A-WEEK WATERING RESTRICTIONS
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. When the water restrictions were adopted
in April as part of Ordinance No. 336, twice-a-week watering restrictions were
included as a part of the effort to achieve the 20% savings goal. The City's
water customers have exceeded the 20% cutback each week, and with the recent
mild summer weather, these restrictions have not been necessary. Staff recom-
mends that the twice-a-week watering restrictions be waived until a new ordi-
nance can be adopted in October setting new seven-stage rules, regulations and
restrictions. Staff anticipates that the current efforts to achieve the city-
wide 20% reduction goal will be sufficient.
Motion by Councilmember McIntyre, seconded by Councilmember Snesko, to approve
staff recommendation, and to include a public awareness campaign to inform the
public as to why these restrictions are no longer required. Motion carried 3-0,
with Councilmember Higginson and Mayor Goldsmith absent.
