STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The City of Westminster has identified a candidate project for traffic improvement
toward which they wish to apply the financial contribution required of the McDonnell
Douglas office tower project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the expenditure of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) toward the
improvement of the Garden Grove Boulevard/Bolsa Chica Road/405-22 Freeway area,
authorize the payment to be made by McDonnell Douglas directly to the City of
Westminster and direct the Director of Community Development to obtain from the City
of Westminster verification of the payment as described.
ANALYSIS:
At its February 16, 1988 regular meeting, the City Council placed Conditions of Approval
on the office tower project to be constructed on McDonnell Douglas property at the
northeast corner of Bolsa and Bolsa Chica. Among those conditions was Number 13, which
outlined the obligation for a financial contribution not to exceed one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000) to be applied toward traffic 'improvements.
Subsequently, Council and staff representatives from both cities met to evaluate the
traffic issues involved. Although several potential candidate projects were identified,
mutual agreement on the precise location(s) or the needed amount for each location was
not achieved. However, the participants did agree that the contribution would best be
applied toward one significant project rather than making marginal partial contributions
toward smaller projects.
The City of Westminster has been preparing plans for the improvement of the interchange
between the 22 (Garden Grove) and 405 (San Diego) freeways and the surface streets of
Bolsa Chica Road/Valley View and Garden Grove Boulevard. The funding for the project is
from OCUTT funds (Orange County Unified Transportation Trust) and matching city
funds. The $100,000 contribution is needed to complete the local match for the project.

Since the proposed project is regional in nature, providing improved surface street and
freeway mobility for all the residents and businesses in the area, staff supports the
proposal and the application of the McDonnell Douglas financial contribution toward the
needed project match.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Not applicable (no city funds).
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Give alternative direction for the expenditure of the $100,000.00 from McDonnel Douglas.

Dear Mr . Sandoval :
During the past few years , the Councils of Westminster and
Huntington Beach and representatives from the Westminster Village
Homeowners ' Association have met to discuss the traffic impacts
for Westminster in connection with the McDonnell Douglas "Towers"
project.
An extensive list of improvements was developed to mitigate the
traffic problems associated with this project, and prior to the
approval of the project by the Huntington Beach City Council , our
Mayor wrote a letter ( copy attached) requesting that McDonnell
Douglas be required to pay $410 , 000 for mitigation of traffic
problems within Westminster .
It has been our understanding that the Huntington Beach Council
required that $100 , 000 be made available by McDonnell Douglas for
alleviation of traffic impacts in Westminster. Based upon this
understanding that $100 , 000 would be available, we set our top
priority at Garden Grove Boulevard/Bolsa Chica Road and Garden
Grove Boulevard/405/22 Freeway ramps for intersection
improvements in connection with the "Towers" project. Capacity
will be increased significantly by the proposed addition of new
travel lanes .
We have construction plans for this area and will be using OCUTT
(Orange County Unified Transportation Trust) funds for
approximately 40% of its construction. Since this project must be
awarded by June 30th, 1990 , so that the OCUTT funding will not be
lost, we are requesting $100 , 000 for expenditure on this project.
It is quite evident that the McDonnell Douglas "Towers" project
will have a serious impact on Garden Grove Boulevard/Bolsa Chica
Road/405-22 Freeway ramps , in addition to thirteen - other
signalized intersections in the City of Westminster . Not only is
increased congestion a problem, but also pavement fatigue which
results in shorter infrastructure life.
Mr. Lou Sandoval
February 21 , 1990

We are respectfully requesting that your Council appropriate
$100 , 000 for this much-needed OCUTT project. Without your
monetary involvement, Westminster cannot provide matching funds
and consequently, the OCUTT funding will be lost and we will be
unable to commence the project.
Enclosed for your review are the preliminary construction project
plans . We would appreciate a response to this letter no later
than March 1 , 1990 .
Sincerely,

Dear John: Councilman
The Westminster City Council requests that McDonnell Douglas pay
$410 , 000 for traffic control devices at the intersections of :
1 ) Westminster Boulevard/Springdale Street, and 2 ) Garden Grove
Boulevard/Bolsa Chica Road and the 405/22 Freeway ramps.
This request is based on information presented and discussed at the
seven meetings held by the McDonnell Douglas Traffic Improvement
Study Committee, which is comprised of City Council members from
Huntington Beach and Westminster and representatives from the
Westminster Village Homeowners ' Association. The Committee developed
an extensive list of improvements needed to mitigate the problems
associated with additional traffic generated by the proposed office
buildings at the McDonnell Douglas Astronautics facility in
Huntington Beach.
The estimated implementation cost for the improvements is some
$8 ,000 ,000 . However, we are requesting only slightly more than 5% of
that amount , which we feel is realistic and reasonable.
Enclosed are drawings of the two areas showing the improvements which
include street/ramp widening, restriping, median modification and
removal, new directional signs , and signal upgrading.
On behalf of the City of Westminster,' I commend and thank you for
your willingness to work with us and look forward to future meetings
of the Committee, where we can address challenges of mutual concern
and develop solutions of mutual benefit.
Sincerely,

Counci 'man Mays stated that he had been an employee of McDonnell Douglas fc
the past ten years and therefore he would not participate in discussion c
vote on the issue because of a possible conflict of interest.
Courci 'man Mays vacated his place, at the Council table and left the room.
The Mayor declared the hearing open.
CharlQs Smith , Mayor Pro Tem of the City of Westminster, appearing on beha'
of the City Council of the City of Westminster, stated that the. City of Wes'
minster does not object to the proposed project and that its appeal of tl
Planning Commission ' s approval of this project is based on the belief that tf
$35,OOO proposed traffic improvement in the City of Westminster would not I

ing sources . He suggested the project be approved based upon a condition that
will require payment from McDonnell Douglas for traffic mitigation measures ,
based upon the findings from the proposed joint studies , prior to occupancy of
the first phase of the project. He requested that Condition of Approval No.
13 be revised to read as follows : "Prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy for the Phase I eight story office building, McDonnell Douglas shall
pay for their reasonable share of the cost for traffic improvements within the
City of Westminister as determined jointly by the cities of Huntington Beach
and Westminster based upon a joint traffic study. "

McDonnel Douglas project.
Merle Pautsch , representing McDonnell Douglas Realty Company, applicant,
reviewed the history of the number of employees at the plant and stated the
project under discussion would bring the number of employees back up to the
number employed in the past. He outlined traffic mitigation measures proposed
by McDonnell Douglas . He stated that McDonnell Douglas at this time would
identify $100,000 in lieu of the $35,000 figure for traffic mitigation mea-
sures and would be glad to proceed with that modification .
Weston Pringle stated he prepared the traffic study for the McDonnell Douglas
project and that all of the intersections had problems without this project
and that this project would increase traffic by less than one percent. He
stated that the recommended improvements should be done with or without the
McDonnell Douglas project.
Discussion was held between Mayor Erskine and Mr. Pringle regarding the total
number of trips per day generated by the project.
There being no one present to speak further on the matter and there being no
further protests filed , either oral or ,written , the hearing was closed by the
Mayor.

noise ban on Sunday, the Transportation System Management Plan and mitigation
of traffic on surrounding streets . Discussion was held regarding a Transpor-
tation Sysstem Management Plan Coordinator, a van system to serve McDonnell
Douglas employees , and a joint committee to work together to solve traffic

i Merle Pautsch, representing McDonnell Douglas , stated that first occupancy of
Phase I was targeted for June 1989.
Following discussion between Council and Charles Smith, Mayor Pro Tem of the
City of Westminister, a consensus of opinion was reached that six months was
enough time to reach a decision regarding McDonnell Douglas ' s fair share of
the cost of traffic improvement measures . Mr. Smith urged Council to work
jointly with the City of Westminster to acquire state funds for traffic
improvement.
Following discussion, a motion was made by Erskine, seconded by Finley, tc
sustain the Planning Commission decision , deny both appeals and approve Envi-
ronmental Impact Report 87-4, Conditional Exception Variance 87-95, and Tenta-
tive Parcel Map 87-424 based on findings- and conditions of approval as sei
forth in RCA dated February 16, 1987 , as amended, as follows :
Findings for Approval - . Conditional Use Permit No. 87-44 and Conditiona'
" Exception (Variance) No. 87-95:
1 . The proposed mixed use project, with conditions of approval and mitiga-
tion measures identified in EIR 87-4, will not have a detrimental effec-
upon the general health, welfare, safety and convenience of person-
residing or working in the neighborhood, nor will it be detrimental t(
the vaiue of property and improvements in the vicinity.

proposed uses in the vicinity which include general industrial to th
south , Seal Beach Naval Weapons Center to the west and the McDonnell
Douglas Astronautics Facility to the north and east.
4. The location , site layout, and design of the proposed mixed use offic
project properly adapts the proposed structures to streets , driveways an
other adjacent structures in a harmonious manner. Project entries
deceleration lanes and changes to the existing medians in Bolsa Chic
Street and Bolsa Avenue have been properly designed by a Traffic Enginee
in order to mitigate impacts on the existing circulation system.
5. The combination of the proposed uses on the site, as set forth in Draf
Resolution No. 1387 , are properly integrated on the site.
6. Access to and parking for the proposed mixed use office project will nc

the main entry to the project will encourage employees to use thi
entrance. The speed ramp on the east side of the parking structure wil
facilitate orderly ingress and egress from the parking structure.
7.. The granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 87-95 to- allow fc
more than 50 percent of the front yard setback to be used for parkir
will be offset by the provision of landscape on the site far in excess c
code requirements , insuring that the project will not be materiall

Dear Council Members: Councilwoman
Subject: McDonnell Douglas "Twin Towers" Traffic Mitigation Payment
It has been our understanding since the "Twin Towers" project was approved
some time ago that a condition of approval required McDonnell Douglas to pay
for $100,000 worth of traffic mitigation measures in the City of Westminster.
Based on this understanding, we set our top priority at the intersections of
Garden Grove Boulevard/Bolsa Chica Road and Garden Grove Boulevard/San Diego
(405) and Garden Grove (22) Freeway ramps for intersection improvements in
conjunction with the "Towers" project. Traffic capacity in this congested
area will be significantly increased by the proposed addition of new travel
lanes.
The City of Westminster has an OCUTT project approved to pay for a portion of
the total cost of the improvements, but the $100,000 from McDonnell Douglas is
needed to provide the matching funds. If those funds are not committed at
your meeting of May 7, 1990, we will not be able to award a contract by the
June 30, 1990, deadline for the OCUTT funding.
Without the McDonnell Douglas traffic impact fees, Westminster cannot provide
the matching funds. In that event, the OCUTT funding will be lost and we will
be unable to make the needed improvements.
Therefore, we respectfully request you to take appropriate action to insure
that the $100,000 is committed to Westminster for payment by June 30, 1990.
Sincerely yours, ,.
Charles V. Smith
