The Affidiavits of Publishing, Posting, and Mailing are on file in the Clerk's office. No communications have been re- ceived. Councilman Hall requested an opinion from the City Attorney as to whether or not he should partici- pate in this hearing due to his former involvement on the Planning Commission. The City Attorney replied there was no legal reason to prevent him from parti- cipating in this discussion. The Associate Planner pointed out that the minimum lot size in an R1 zone is 6,000 square feet, and that the average lot size of Tract 9936 is 5,542 square feet, and 5,617 square feet in Tract 10057. The Associate Planner further explained the variances and indicated that a total of 111 of the 126 proposed lots have a minimum of one requested variance, and some have as many as four variances. The Planning Staff recommended denial. The Planning Commission recommended approval subject to Section X of the Staff Report dated August 28, 1978. The Planning.Staff.maintains that the hardship claimed by the applicant, shape of the property re- sulting from the alignment of South Coast Drive, is not justification for the requested variances. The Planning Staff feels that the installation of South Coast Drive is a.recognized planning tool and simi- lar streets are required of other developers. Further, the Planning Staff maintains that Specific Plans are an additional recognized planning tool and have applied to other properties without variances from lot.size standards. The Associate Planner stated that approval of these variances would consti- tute rezoning the property from R1 to Planned Develop- ment - Low Density. Robert Mickelson, 3823 Casselle Avenue, Orange, representing Arker, Incorporated, reviewed the project and outlined three basic find- ings as required by Code. These findings were: (1) Extraordinary circumstances involved that created hardships for the development; (2) Proposed use would not be materially detrimental to other develop- ments in the general area; and (3) Granting of the permit will not be materially detrimental to the- health, safety, and general welfare. Mr. Mickelson also discussed the 12 findings on which the Planning Commission based their recommendation for approval. Ms. Jean Robins, 1807 Tahiti Drive, Costa Mesa, ques- tioned whether the Council was going to uphold the present ordinances or change them by variances.. Leonard Hampel, 401 Civic Center Drive West, Santa Ana, stated that the Tentative Map had been approved in July, 1977, and that the City also approved a Final Development Plan with minor variances at that time. Mike McLaughlin, 925 Crocus Circle, Costa Mesa, representing the North Costa Mesa Homeowners Association, read an editorial from the October 12, 1978, edition of the Costa Mesa News, and pre- sented the 12 findings on which the Planning Commission based their decision, and his arguments against the findings.

Mr. Hampel, Mr. Mickelson, and Mr. McLaughlin spoke again.and reinforced their ideas Recess on this subject. The Mayor declared a recess at 9:45 p.m., and the meeting reconvened at 10:00 p.m. The City Attorney advised.the Council that despite some statements made by others to the contrary, approval of this application was not, as a matter of law, a subversion.of the initiative process or a rezone by variances, giving a detailed explana- .tion, with reasons. He also stated that his office could legally defend.and.support the Council's de- cision either to. -grant or deny.the request, depend- ing upon how they found the facts to exist. On motion by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Council- woman Hertzog, and carried, the request was denied, incorporating the findings contained on Page 6 of the Planning Staff Report of August 28, 1978, their memo of September 15, 1978, and comments made during the Council's discussion.of this item.
