joint powers. The Police Chief informed Council that four of the five buildings
on the site were usable and that two could be relocated to the parks maintenance
area for storage of recreational equipment presently stored at Memorial Hall.
The Fire Chief outlined how the matter could be handled through a joint powers
agreement with the joint powers cities presently using the facilities.
Discussion was held regarding the financial aspect and the Director of Public Works

PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 77-3 - PART 2 - EIR 77-13 AND APPEAL TO
PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL OF A PORTION OF GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 77-3. PART 2
AREA OF CONCERN 2.1
Mayor Pattinson announced that he would abstain from participating in the public
hearing on this matter. He stated that in his opinion he did not have a Conflict
of Interest but that some citizens were not in agreement.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shenkman announced that this was the day and hour set for a
hearing on General Plan Amendment No. 77-3 - Part 2 and required environmental
documents, as initiated by the Planning Commission. General Plan Amendment No.
77-2 - Part 2 contains the following areas of concern; (1) 2.5 - south of Slater
Avenue and east of the railroad right-of-way, and (2) 2.6 Ministerial Item -
Timing of General Plan Amendments. Environmental Impact Report 77-13 deals with
the environmental impacts of the amendment.
The Council in addition to the above, will at this time hear an appeal filed by
Gary Potter to the denial by the Planning Commission of Area of Concern 2.1 (south
of Edinger Avenue and west of Bolsa Chica Street) of General Plan Amendment No.
77-3, Part 2. Copies of Third Draft of General Plan Amendment No. 77-3, Part 2,
Miscellaneous Items are on file in the City Clerk's office for review.
The City Clerk informed Council that all legal requirements for notification,
publication and posting had been met and that she had received a letter from
Thomas Clark, Jr., Attorney for Family Home Builders requesting to address Council,
and an appeal filed by Gary Potter to the denial of the Planning Commission of
Area of Concern 2.1 of GPA No. 77-3, Part 2.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shenkman declared the hearing open.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shenkman stated that ten minutes would be given to each appli-
cant and five minutes for a rebuttal by the public. At this time he stated that
citizens wishing to speak on Area of Concern 2.5 (in favor of the General Plan
Amendment) would be heard.
Tom Clark, Attorney for Mr. Graziadio inquired as to how many votes were required
for the motion to carry, to which the City Attorney responded that four affirmative
votes would be required.
Dick Ramella, representative of Family Home Builders Inc., addressed Council and
stated that he had attended public hearings on the Gothard Corridor. He referred
to 'catch phrases and words' which he believed created a misunderstanding of the
area known as the "Gothard Corridor'. Mr. Ramella was of the opinion that part of
the area should be developed residentially, giving reasons for his opinion. He
displayed slides of the area, He believed that residential development would
encourage higher quality industrial development.
Councilman Bartlett inquired whether Mr. Ramella was aware of any communities or
projects which advocate mixed industrial and residential use, to which Mr. Ramella
replied that his office is personally involved with two projects; one is in Man-
hatten Beach where industrial, commercial and residential uses are mixed. Another,
he stated, was an employment center where the County of Orange approved the employment
PJ

Page #3 Council Minutes - 12/19/77
center and specified in the approval of the General Plan Amendment that industrial,
commercial and residential uses were to be mixed, which met with a great deal of
favorable comment from the Environmental Protection Agency and the State Air Pollution
Control Board. Further discussion ensued between Councilman Bartlett and Mr. Ramella
regarding what could be done to bring about compatibility in residential and industrial
areas.
Councilwoman Gibbs stated that at the San Franscisco conference she had recently
attended, she had been .taken on a tour to see the mixed uses in San Francisco between
residential, commercial and industrial and it was, in her opinion, very effective.
Discussion was held between Councilman Siebert and Mr. Ramella regarding the mixed
uses concept,'and the impact upon the' school district, should an influx of children
be forthcoming.
Holly Boothes, Center of Planning and Research, addressed Council and stated that
she believed one of the most important issues raised by the plan -change request was
the issue of low income housing. She pointed out that the developer is proposing
to combine a very large number of market rate units which will be sold for owner -
occupancy with a much smaller number of low-income units to be occupied by families
who rent them, and that the low-income units will be completely integrated within the
rest of the project. She did not believe the number of units would impact the area,
being only 15 - 207. of the project, and stated that the major thrust of the project
would be to introduce very stable income to the units.
Discussion was held between Council as to the definitation of 'low-income' housing
and the qualifications necessary to be so considered by the State.
Councilman Siebert inquired whether any further information had been given by the
school district, other than the letter which had been previously referred to, and
was told that there was none.
Councilman Siebert expressed concern as to the propriety of Council weighing in its
deliberations of General Plan Amendments or Zone Changes the intended uses when in
fact the City would have no control over that use at this point. The City Attorney
stated that Council had been advised in their consideration of General Plan Amendments
that they should not consider specific projects, however, generalized data, demo-
graphic data, housing, schools, population needs, etc. would be relevent.
Councilman Siebert inquired whether there was any way that Council has the ability
on a zone change to more or less lock in the use, to which the City Attorney replied
that from time to time the City Council has deferred second reading of an ordinance
in order to ensure that certain projects would be developed in a pure form; that
Councils do feel 'cheated' when they change the property zoning, thinking that a par-
ticular project will be developed and in fact it does not transpire.
Mr. Clark reminded Council that the General Plan does not include just the land use
element but also housing and the possibility of low-income housing, which in his
opinion, is clearly addressable at this time, and also that the City has a responsi-
bility to the community to provide housing for every economic segment.
Hann Perez, member of the Downtown Redevelopment staff and speaking as a Planning
Program Coordinator of Arch-Tekton, addressed Council and referred to his letter to
Council regarding the General Plan Amendment, Part 2. Mr. Perez spoke in favor of
developing the area industrially, giving reasons for his opinion.
Page #4. - Council Minutes - 12/19/77
Mark Porter, President of the Home Council, addressed Council and spoke in oppo-
sition to the proposed change of land use in the area.
Bruce Greer, City, addressed Council and spoke regarding the peat problem in the
area, referring to a letter from Mr. McCorder on the matter and the Law Master
Report. He referred to the wrecking yard which had been shown in a slide earlier
in the meeting and stated that once the area is built up around it, it would be
economically impossible to keep it as such.
Bill Soloman, City, addressed Council and stated that he operates a recreational
storage yard on ten acres of land adjacent to that of Mr. Graziadio. He suggested
keeping residential buildings out of the industrial area.
Dr. Lazar, addressed Council and spoke of the area remaining industrial. He stated
that he believed industrial development___....
must be separated from residential._
Ron O'Neil, real estate broker, addressed Council and stated that he owned property
in the Redondo Circle area. He stated that there was a need for industrial devel-
opment in the area and gave reasons for his opinion. Mr. O'Neil inquired as to who
would own the proposed low-income housing project and how long it would be before
the project was sold and would no longer be a low-income housing development. He
did not believe that an approximate income of $16,000 constituted a 'low income'.
Connie Mandic, City, addressed Council regarding the educational issue referred to
earlier in the meeting. She stated that the letter to -the school district did not
make adequate inquiries regarding an influx of students and pointed out that Oakview
School is already impacted with low-income students.
W. L. Hamm, City, addressed Council and stated that he owned property adjacent to
the property in question on the east side. He stated his concern were the proposed
zone change to be approved and a City ordinance which states that where residential
property abuts industrial there should be a SO ft. buffer zone on each side. Mr.
Hamm stated that he could not afford to give 50 ft. of his property because people
wanted to build houses next door, and that as there is no place surrounding this piece
of property, outside of his house, which is not industrial, it would be spot -zoning.
_John Chapman, Center of Planning and Research, addressed Council and spoke in favor
of mixed uses in the Industrial Corridor, giving reasons for his opinion. He
believed that this particular parcel should be developed residentially, referring
to the public facilities, parks, schools, etc. Discussion was held on the matter.
Manny Perez stated that he believed that because of the basic site feasibility,
it would be difficult to develop residentially and commercially.
There being no one further to speak on the matter, and there being no further pro-
tests filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the Mayor Pro Tempore.
Councilman Coen stated that he would have no difficulty in making a decision on
this matter, it should be one of the last areas to be rezoned, and he will vote in
opposition to the proposed change of zone.
Councilman Siebert agreed with Councilman Coen that this should be one of the last
areas to be rezoned, giving reasons for his opinion.
Page # 5 - Council Minutes - 12/19/77
Councilwoman Gibbs stated that she was in favor of low-cost housing, of which she
is a proponent but would vote in favor of industrial development because of the
need to maintain some of it.
Councilman Bartlett commented on the area and attempts Council had made in the past
the develop the area, which were defeated because of soil conditions. He believed
that the Federal Government would eventually have to take over the land because of
the soil conditions.
Councilman Shenkman stated that he did not feel that most of the Industrial Corridor
would develop industrially; there is an excess inventory of industrial development,
and that he believed the City is stuck forever with the 'junk' there now. Councilmen
Shenkman gave his suggestions for development of.the area, and in conclusion, urged
Council to try to come forward with a united from and some long-range planning for
the area.

APPEAL TO DENIAL BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF AREA OF CONCERN 2.1
Mayor Pattinson announced that an appeal had been filed by Gary Potter to the denial
by the Planning Commission of Area of Concern 2.1 {south of Edinger Avenue and west
of Bolsa Chica Street of General Plan Amendment No.' 77-3 Part 2.
David Dahl, City, addressed Council on behalf of the appellant, Gary Potter. He
requested a Master Plan Amendment to a high density residential zoning from commer-
cial, showing a slide and indicating the area in question. He stated that in his
opinion, the feasibility as a commercial lot is extremely marginal. which is why the
appeal was made by Gary Potter. Mr. Dahl referred to the staff analysis presented
at the Planning Commission hearing which indicated that the frontage was not con-
sidered adequate to serve the entire parcel; that the rear of the parcel would have
to obtain its access along a private driveway behind the shopping center located on
M
Page #6 - Council Minutes - 12/19/77
Bolsa Chica Street; that the economic feasibility of the current Master Plan renders
the property extremely difficult to develop, and the staff presentation indicated
that there was sufficient commercial development in the immediate neighborhood.
Mr. Dahl stated that. Gary Potter proposed the change to high density residential
because it meets the locational criteria for high density zoning site. He elab-
orated on reasons for this opinion, and stated that he had obtained a petition
from residents in the area indicating that they would not be opposed to a Master
Plan change to an R-3 designation. The petition was given to the City Clerk.
With reference to the effect of the proposed Plan Amendment on the local environ-
ment, Mr. Dahl referred to the Environmental Impact Report prepared by staff which
gave all the arguments to which he could have referred. He spoke of the overall den-
sity of the project and referred to the City's new 'Q' zoning (or 'Q' suffix) which,
he stated, would allow Council to reduce the maximum density permitted in this R-3
zone. Mr. Dahl proposed a maximum density of 20 units per gross acre.
In conclusion, Mr. Dahl stated that a marginal commercial use was being compared
to a "well planned residential complex", and he respectfully requested that City
Council approved the Master Plan Amendment.
Considerable discussion followed between Council and staff and it was determined
that the reason the Planning Commission had designated the area commercial was
because there appeared to be a number of objections from neighboring property
owners, the area had been designated commercial for some time and it was felt gen-
erally that it could still be put to some viable commercial use.
Wally Nickel addressed Council and stated that he wished to emphasize that it was
his suggestion that the ultimate zoning sought in the area would be something in
the line of R-3, with no more than 20 units to the acre in the suffix as a solution
to the density.
Dr. J. Raymond Long, City, addressed Council and indicated on the map where he
proposed to build his veterinary hospital, which area, he stated, was owned by
his wife. He stated his concern that residents were in close proximity to his
proposed hospital which he believed would increase vandalism in the area.
Dr. H.H. Eighmy, City, addressed Council and referring to the map, stated that
the records should show that the owner of the property in question is not Mr.
Potter; that the sale of the property is contingent upon the zone change. He
stressed that the majority of people who signed the petition were renters of
property in the area and not owners. Dr. Eighmy expressed concern for the myriad
of traffic in the alley behind the apartments and the problems of parking in the
area.
George W. Psaros addressed Council and expressed concern for parking in the area,
stating that he sees a strong parallel between this case and that which just
preceded it. Mr. Psaros was in favor of the area remaining commercial.
Wally Nickel stated that whatever commercial use was found for the area would
generate more traffic than residential, in his opinion. He was in favor.of resi-
dential development and suggested racquetball courts for the area.
Considerable discussion was held on the matter between Council and staff.
Page #7 - Council Minutes - 12/19/77
Helen Psaros, City, addressed Council and suggested office -type development for
the area and stated that she was not in favor of residential development.
Discussion was held between Council on the necessity of frontage for office -type
development.
There being no one further present to speak on the matter, and there being no
protests filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the Mayor.
A motion was made by Siebert to sustain the Planning Commission's recommendation.
The motion died for lack of a second.
The City Attorney stated that the motion should be to approve the General Plan Amend-
ment in the positive and reminded Council that a straw vote required four affirmative
votes.
A motion was made by Siebert, seconded by Coen, to approve the General Plan Amendment,
Area 2.1 - 77-3, Part 2.
Councilman Coen stated that he was inclined to favor a more modified residential plan
rather than commercial.
Mayor Pattinson stated that he could only see the area being developed as a possible
car -wash or possibly offices.
Councilman Shenkman stated that in his opinion, it would be a difficult parcel to
develop commercially; that it was important to have frontage and that he was in
favor of residential.
Councilwoman Gibbs stated that she would be in favor of low -residential.
Councilman Siebert stated his concern for density in the area; he would like it
controlled. He stated that he would vote for a change from commercial to residen-
tial, if the density could be controlled.
Mayor Pattinson concurred with Councilman Siebert and suggested that it be reflected
in the minutes in order that when the matter does come again before Council for
zoning, they are aware of it.
The motion made by Siebert, seconded by Coen, to approve the General Plan Amendment,
Area 2.1 - 77-3, Part 2 was withdrawn.
