Mayor/Chairman Dettloff declared the public hearings open on both the public hearings titled
(1) Development Agreement No. 98-1/Tentative Tract No. 15535/Precise Plan Of Street Alignment
No. 98-1/Conditional Use Permit No. 97-46 With special Permits/Coastal Development Permit
No. 97-15 (Ocean Grand Resort And Conference Center— Waterfront Development Agreement,
and (2) Joint Public Hearing Between City Council And Redevelopment Agency (Waterfront Project)
On A Proposed Amended And Restated Disposition And Development Agreement Providing For
The Sale And Lease Of Real Property Within The Merged Redevelopment Project Area Of The City
Of Huntington Beach To Mayer Financial, LTD.
BOB BIDDLE, representing Huntington Beach Tomorrow and member of the Planning
Commission, stated that Huntington Beach Tomorrow favors the Waterfront expansion project,
however, their organization does have objections relative to the inclusion of language on
Attachment No. 5 of the Summary Report, Page No. 9, Item No. 7, that sets forth that the Agency
and developer are to agree on certain uses or activity limitations on the beach parking lot between
Beach Boulevard and Huntington Street. He informed Council that just as the Planning
Commission voted, it should not appear that the developer has a greater control of the beach than
the public. Mr. Biddle also stated concerns regarding a reduction of the traffic impact fees as there
is no guarantee to the contrary of the letter from Shawn Millbern, Senior Vice President, The Robert
Mayer Corporation, that any jobs created by this project will come exclusively from local residents
and, therefore, the impacts remain. He stated that Huntington Beach Tomorrow supports the action
of the Planning Commission regarding the in -lieu parking fees. Mr. Biddle stated the organization's
concern with the language in the resolution documents stating that oral and written objections are
heard and overruled, as it appears that no action will be taken based on the public input and that it
is an affront to anyone speaking on this issue at this hearing. He stated that Huntington Beach
Tomorrow acknowledges the reason for the application for $6,000,000 in HUD funding but not the
use of the funds. He stated that with respect to the use of Community Facilities District Bonds as a
device to finance the city's participation in this project, that Huntington Beach Tomorrow would
make the comment that no money or methods seem to exist in this community to help pay for
needed infrastructure improvements, additional recreational opportunities or to finance employee
salaries, but that the city seems to have the money to finance private hotels. He stated that
Huntington Beach Tomorrow wishes to compliment Mr. Mayer and Mr. Bone for what appears to be
a great addition to this community but that they have concerns about the financing and public
access to the beach.
CANDY MORGAN spoke regarding the city's obligation to its citizens to keep the city vibrant. She
stated that she believes the proposed project will fulfill the city's duty. She requested approval of
the project.
JIM ABRAHAMSON, Senior Vice President of Hilton Hotels, addressed Council regarding the
many amenities that the project will bring to the city including that the hotel will draw international
visitors.
BOB TRAVER spoke in support of the project stating that he wished only that the project were
bigger.
JOYCE RIDDELL, representing the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce, spoke in support of
the project for reasons including that it will provide sales tax and provide employment opportunities.
JOHN GORDY, representing Delma Pacifica Corporation, stated that he believes this is one of the
most beautiful hotels that he has ever seen and that Huntington Beach deserves this type of
project.

09/14/98 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 7
DIANE BAKER, representing the Huntington Beach Visitors and Conference Bureau, stated that
the city has received approximately $1,000,000 more in transit occupancy tax since the original
hotel was built and that this amount will increase with the new hotel. Ms. Baker stated that
travelling with children has increased 230% and this hotel will bring this type of visitor.
ART AVILES spoke in support of the project as it will bring pride to the community as the city will be
able to have a coastal center that is truly notable and no longer will it be necessary to migrate out of
the city.
TAMLYN HAGEMEISTER, Investment Representative with Edward Jones, spoke in support of the
project stating that the visitors will be spending money at the businesses in the community. She
stated that the design is such that people will enjoy driving by the resort.
DALE DUNN, representing the Huntington Beach Visitors and Conference Bureau, spoke in
support of the project. He stated that he had viewed a model room and that he was very
impressed.
PAT ROGERS, General Manager of the Huntington Beach Mail, stated that she believes the city is
making history tonight. She stated that the 11,000,000 visitors who visit the city will now be able to
stay over.
MELDEE LOVE, Driftwood Mobile Home Park resident, spoke regarding the uncertainty she has
lived under while living at the Driftwood Mobile Home Park. She stated that she feels trapped now
and that continuing delays have been frustrating. Ms. Love requested that the choices presented to
them be given now to avoid the rainy season. She apologized if it has been determined that the
mobile home park residences have been a blight to the city as they have tried to keep their area
nice. She requested approval of the project for the sake of the mobile home residents.
DONALD S. LOVE III stated that Huntington Beach needs this kind of project. He stated that
Pacific Coast Highway will not support the traffic. Mr. Love stated there will need to be buses to
bring up visitors from the airport. He stated his concern regarding the traffic survey being done in
September 1997 where the July 4'i' holiday, other holidays, and surfing events which cause
population increases are not included.
RAY PECKHAM informed Council that his daughter, through her company, had brought 30 persons
for a week's stay at the Waterfront Hilton. He informed Council that the visitors enjoyed their visit
very much and had commented that more upscale restaurants were needed as well as shopping
opportunities other than surfboard shops, etc.
GERALD CHAPMAN stated his support for the project. He stated that he concurred with
Mr. Love's concern regarding the Pacific Coast Highway traffic situation. He spoke regarding the
fact that when the traffic model for this project was done, Pacific Coast Highway was assumed to
become six lanes wide, as it was presumed that the county's Master Plan of Arterial Highways
would be completely built out. Mr. Chapman stated the 31-acre development coming in will
increase traffic more. He spoke regarding the reasons why he believes the city could lose
$11,000,000 in Measure M funding.
RICHARD HARLOW stated that the new Waterfront development expansion plan will be a better
plan than the one proposed in 1988.
LEONARD CRANE addressed Council and questioned how HUD money is involved in the
Waterfront project.

STEVE BONE, representing the Waterfront Hilton, informed Council of two architects in the
audience who are available to address Council this evening. He presented a slide report showing
the difference in this revised plan from the original plan. The slide report was titled The
Waterfront — Revised Development Plan. The slide report was provided to the City Clerk following
the City Council meeting (September 21, 1998). The slide report included information on the
current development agreement approved in 1998, the commercial/residential components,
information regarding vehicle trips, design intent of the resort hotel, sketches of portions of the
proposed project including the reflection courtyard, pool courtyard, spa grotto, conference center,
function courtyard, aesthetic benefits, community benefits, and economic benefits.
TOPPER HORACH requested information on what is the actual percentage of current employees of
the hotel who reside in Huntington Beach as well as what is the potential percentage of such
employees as a result of the expansion. He stated that he would hate to see activities curtailed on
the beach because of the Waterfront Hotel activities. He requested information on the Hamilton
Avenue extension as to who is going to pay for it as it will have the straight through route to John
Wayne Airport and will be to the benefit of the Hilton Hotel.
There being no one further present to speak and there being no further protests filed, either oral or
written, the hearings were closed by Mayor Dettloff.
Steve Bone, representing the Waterfront Hilton, informed Council that 35% of the current
employees are residents of Huntington Beach and that if projections are correct, there will be
approximately 400 residents of Huntington Beach who are employees of the hotel.
Community Development Director Fallon stated that the Hamilton Avenue extension is not a
condition of this project.
Economic Development Director Biggs responded to the beach events issue. He reported on traffic
impact fees and the HUD Section 108 loan that has been applied for by the city for use in this
project. City Administrator Silver reported on financial aspects of the project. Public Works Director
Beardsley reported on the issue of Pacific Coast Highway. City Administrator Silver addressed the
issue of relocation of the mobile home park residents. Economic Development Director Biggs
reported on the in lieu park fee issue.
Economic Development Director Biggs, at the request of Councilmember Harman, reported on the
status of the mobile home relocation agreement. He stated that there is language in the
Development Agreement No. 98-1 stating that the Development Agreement is not in effect until the
issue is resolved. Economic Development Director Biggs reported on the Wetlands mitigation issue
stating that the Disposition and Development Agreement requires that this must be taken care of
prior to the development getting certain permits.
Councilmember Harman stated his concern regarding the problem of traffic congestion on Pacific
Coast Highway in front of this project, and if the 31-acres is developed extensively, which is a
proposal of which the city has heard about, he asked what is the staff's plan to eliminate this traffic
problem and how will the city get six lanes onto Pacific Coast Highway.
City Administrator Silver responded on this issue. He informed Council that this issue has been
discussed the past eight years and that staff is in very preliminary discussions with the owner of the
31-acre site. He stated that staff is aware of the issue of Pacific Coast Highway and whether or not
to widen it into three lanes in each direction will have to be revisited and that this will be brought
back to Council at a later date to discuss how to deal with it as well as the issue of the on -street
parking that would be removed.

09/14/98 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 9
Councilmember Harman questioned who is going to pay the cost of relocating the beach
maintenance facility and the Economic Development Director reported that the specific obligations
are in the Disposition and Development Agreement. City Administrator Silver stated that the cost
could be more and the cost is not exactly known yet. Councilmember Bauer stated that the Pacific
Coast Highway problem can be taken care of and that $11,000,000 of Measure M monies will not
be lost.
Mayor Dettloff reported on the process that the project has followed.
