APPEAL TO PC DENIAL OF TT 10656 & CUP 79-5 - CASA DEL SOL APARTMENTS - DENIED
Mayor MacAllsiter announced that this was the time and place set for a public hear-
ing on an appeal filed by Edward H. Petersen, attorney at law, on behalf of Casa
del Sol to the Planning -Commission's denial of Conditional Use Permit #79-5 and
Tentative Tract #10656; a request to convert an existing 448 unit apartment complex
into condominiums. The subject project.(Casa del Sol) is situated on 18.2 acres of
land located on the west side of Brookhurst Street, approximately 600' south of
Hamilton Avenue.
The Acting Planning Director stated staff was prepared to answer any questions
pertaining to the matter.

fication and posting had been met and that she had received no communications or
written protests to the matter.

presented slides depir.ting the property in question. He informed Council of the
options available to the present occupants of the apartment complex to purchase
the proposed condominiums.

were converted to condominiums as many of them were on a fixed income. He urged
Council to abide by the Planning Commission's decision.

Page #5 - Council Minutes - 6/18/79
Bill Kailen stated he believed there was a need to maintain rental unit availability
within-the'City for people who were not in the position to buy a dwelling, such
as college students and people on fixed income; that half of the people now living
in the Casa del Sol apartment complex were on a fixed income. He stated that an
acoustical survey showed that the apartments were not sound proof and mentioned
cracks in the floor and a problem with sewage backing up into the apartments.
Ellen Giles representative of Casa del Sol Renters Association presented Council
with a survey reflecting tenants response to questions regarding the proposed
condominium conversion. The majority of the tenants would not buy if the apartments
were converted to condominiums.
Rex Hoover, representing renters at Casa del Sol, stated he believed there was a
plumbing problem at the apartment complex and that when he was in a position to
buy a dwelling it would be a new building, not a 700 square foot ncisy apartment.
Rick F�iley stated he was an acoustical engineer and a resident of Casa del Sol,
that the acoustics in the apartment building were not suitable for condominiums,
and that a tenant could now complain to the manager about a noise problem created
by a neighbor but this would not be the case of the neighboring unit were owned.
Geor ianne Makris stated she had lived in Building 7 of the Casa del Sol apartment
complex for 9 years, the building was deteriorating, and that her apartment had
been flooded due to a water problem in the above apartment.
Bill JuLK urged Council to consider the need for rentals in the City for workers
w-
in nearby industries and that the City would lose companies that pay the major
share of taxes if there were no apartments for their people. He informed Council
that San Francisco had ordained a temperary halt on condominium conversion; Marin
County ruled that if less than a five per cent vacancy existed, condominiums con-
versions were banned permanently, and pointed out that Huntington Beach vacancy is
well below that limit. He stated that New Jersey laws provide that if there is a
conversion, tenants had three years notification prior thereto.
Peter Similuk informed Council that he was the founder and President of the Hunting-
ton Beach Renters Association; founder and past President of the Community Tax
Payers Association and that the only reason for the request for the condominium
conversion was profit to the owners. He urged Council to disallow the condominium
conversion.
There being no one further present to speak on the matter and there being no further
protests filed either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the Mayor.
Councilman Yoder suggested Council give consideration as to what other cities are
doing regarding condominium conversion: Chicago, stopping conversions; St. Peters-
burg, Florida, stopping conversions and Miami, Florida, stopping conversions.
Councilwoman Bailey asked the Acting Planning Director what the ratio of apartments,
condominium and single family dwelling was in the City. He responded that there
are approximately 10,000 apartment units in five units, or greater, complexes;
8,000 multiple family dwellings, in five units or less; and 32,000 single family
homes.

A motion was made by Yoder, seconded by Thomas, to deny the appeal and sustain the
decision of the Planning Commission and deny Tentative Tract #10656, and Conditional
Use Permit. 79-5, based on the findings of fact promulgated by the Planning Commission,
as follows:
1. The proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and
specific plans insofar as common and private open space are below
that required by ordinance, parking is below that.required by
ordinance and no alternative parking layout presented by the appli-
cant is acceptable, building bulk exceeds that permitted by ordin-
ance, the setbacks of some parking structures do not comply with
ordinance requirements.
2. The design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are not
consistent with applicable general and specific plans insofar as
drive entrances into the project do not comply with Article 936.
3. The site is not physically suited for the type of development, due
to the lack of required parking and common and private open space.
4. The granting of a special permit in order to approve Conditional
Use Permit -No. 79-5 will not promote a better living environment.
5. The granting of a special permit will not provide better land
planning techniques with maximum use of aesthetically pleasing types
of architecture, landscaping, site layout, and design.
6. The .granting of a special permit is not consistent with the objec-
tives.of the Planned Unit Development Standards in achieving a
development adapted to the terrain and compatible with the surround-
ing environment.

sections of the Housing Element of the General Plan of the City of
