set for the public hearing to consider Specific Plan
SP -76-02A
SP -76-02A, Revised, for property located north of
Revised
the San Diego freeway-, west of Bear Street, and east
of San Leandro Road. The California Environmental
Quality Act requirements have been met by the
Environmental Impact Report for General Plan Amend-
ment GP -76-2A, accepted by Council September 20,
1976. 'The affidavit of publication is on file in
the Clerk's office. A communication was received
from Daniel Gott, 953 Dahlia Avenue, Costa Mesa,
expressing objections to the plan -as proposed.
Doug Clark of the Planning staff discussed the two
main issues of the proposed plan. first, he
addressed the subject of park land dedication
requirements. The City's dedication/in lieu fee
ordinance requires that.the City determine whether
fees or land dedication will be required of a
development. The Planning staff recommends that
Arnel Development be required to dedicate approxi-
mately four acres adjacent to the existing Wakeham
Park, to meet this requirement as part of their
proposed development. The Planning Commission
recommended in this,regard that the requirement be
met by a,combination of in lieu fees and/or dedica-
tion, and shall be provided based upon the need as
decided upon by the City. The next issue to be
addressed concerned the question of allowing a density
credit for the 4.2 -acre dedication of South Coast
Drive in the calculation of dwelling units for the
project on the south side of South Coast Drive. The
Planning staff recommends against allowing a density
credit. The Planning Commission recommended that a
density credit be given for the street dedication,
but added that this .recommendation should not be
construed- as'a precedent for granting density credit
in the future for street dedications. The City
Manager made a recommendation that the Arnel Develop-
ment Company not be required to dedicate the four
acres for park purposes, with the thought that the
fees collected could be used for -acquisition of a
larger park site on the west side which he feels is
a higher.priority.George Argyros, 1651 East'Fourth
Street, Santa Ana,, described the development of Parcel
B. Mr. Argyros further stated that the park dedica-
tion previously discussed would not be possible due to
the fact that the -property -being developed is on a
ground lease and not owned by this developer. Paul
Diehl, President of the North Costa Mesa Homeowners -
Association, 1092.Santa Cruz Circle, spoke in support
of the staff's recommendations concerning the park
dedication and density credit. Daniel Gott, repre-
senting homeowners in the Greenbrook Tract, presented
a petition containing 237 signatures opposing the
alignment;of'South Coast Drive. Mr. Gott expressed
great -concern that the construction of South Coast
Drive, as proposed, will have extreme adverse
environmental impacts on the surrounding residential
areas. Mr. Gott presented a proposal.for the re-
alignment of this street, and further reported on
discussions with the Arnel Development Company
concerning additional landscaping that could be
provided if the street width were reduced. Harry
Rinker of the Arnel Development Company, spoke in
response to Mr. Gott, expressing a willingness to
provide additional landscaping on the north side of
the street if the City were to eliminate certain of
their requirements. The City Manager indicated that
the matter of South Coast Drive was an item to be
more appropriately addressed when the Precise Plan
is considered. There being no other speakers, a
motion was made by Mayor Raciti, seconded by Vice
Mayor Hammett, and carried, to close the public
hearing. On motion by Councilwoman Smallwood,
seconded by Councilwoman Hertzog, the Planning
Commission's recommendations'were supported with
one amendment that the park land dedication
requirement be satisfied by in lieu fees, and
