Manager pointed out that a survey had been taken of
surrounding municipal golf courses, and the results
indicated that the City's green fees were low in compar-
ison to other cities. The City Manager also reported

increases in water and fertilizer costs, and at the
present time general fund money is not used for upkeep
of the golf course. On motion by Vice Mayor Hall, sec-
onded by Councilman McFarland, the senior citizen fees
for the Los Lagos course were reduced from $35.00 to,

4321 Birch Street, Newport Beach, for a Conditional Use
Permit for conversion of existing multi -tenant buildings
to industrial condominiums and for a two -lot subdivision
for condominium purposes, for property located at 711
West 17th Street, in an MG zone. Environmental Deter-
mination: Exempt. The appeal was submitted by the
tenants of the subject buildings. The Affidavits of
Publishing and Mailing are on file in the Clerk's
office. A communication has been received from Edwin
Reeser, from the law firm of Fine, Armstrong, Perzik
and Friedman, 10960 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 1900,
Los Angeles, representing the applicant, which concerns
the tenants' requests for rights of first refusal to
purchase the units, stating that this provision would
impair marketability of the entire project; and also
requestingreimbursement for the dedication required
under Condition 18. The Development Services Director
summarized the application which is detailed in the
Staff Report of,April 14, 1980, and showed slides of
the subject property. :The Planning staff and Planning
Commission recommended approval based on the findings
and analysis, and subject to conditions, all contained
in the above mentioned Staff Report. Also, in a
memorandum of June 11,1980, the Planning staff has
recommended that an additional condition be imposed:
Condition 233, "(a) Each of the tenants of the proposed
condominium shal'1 be given 120 days written notice of
intention to convert prior to termination of tenancy
due to the conversion or proposed conversion. This
provision shall.not alter or abridge the rights or
obligations of the parties in performance of their
covenants, including, but not limited to, the provision
of services or payment'of rent; (b) Each of the tenants
of the proposed condominium project shall be given
notice of an exclusive right to contract for the pur-
chase of their respective units upon the same terms and
conditions that such -units will be initially offered to
the general public or terms more favorable to the
tenant. The right shall run for a period of not less
than 60 days from the date of issuance of the sub-
division public report unless the tenant gives prior
written notice of his intention not to exercise the
right." Edwin B. Reeser, attorney for the applicant,
was present to answer questions from the Council, and
stated that all present leases will be honored. He
further advised that right of first refusal by tenants
would hamper the intent of the conversion. George
Colvin, Psomas and Associates:, responding to a question
from Vice Mayor Hall, stated that a two -lot subdivision
was requested because it would allow more financial
flexibility. Tom Lee, representing the tenants of the
subject buildings, asked that the Council consider the
impact of the conversion on their businesses, and also
requested that if approval is given, that Condition 23
be included. Considerable discussion followed regarding
the 120 -day notice mentioned in Condition 23. Respond-
ing to questions from Council Members Hall and Hertzog,
Mr. Colvin and Mr. Reeser stated that Troy Investment
agrees to all conditions, including Conditions 18, 19,
and 22, but objects to Condition 23. Jack Polans, 2864
Royal Palm Drive, Costa Mesa, expressed concern for
C.A�q
small businesses. There being no other speakers, the
Mayor closed the public hearing. A motion was made by
Vice Mayor Hall, seconded by Mayor Schafer, approving

findings and analysis contained in the Staff Report;
subject to 22 conditions recommended by the Planning
Commission, with the addition of Condition 23 as previ-
ously stated; and adding Condition 24 which is, "No

findings that the structure will have an adverse impact
and is not compatible with development of the area.
The Development Services Director also reported that
the applicant has not submitted plans acceptable to the
City; that the structure was raised on June 13,1980,
at .which time a City Building Inspector went to the
site and issued a stop order; and lastly, that during
an inspection made earlier this day, City Inspectors

failure of the foundation. John Palmer, 204 Broadway,

being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the public
hearing. Victor Newton, the City's Assistant Building
Safety Director, stated that upon inspection of the
site, it appeared that the bottom plate was in contact
with the earth. Vice Mayor Hall asked the applicant if
he would agree to all conditions if the project is
approved, and Mr. Roushan responded that he objected to
Condition 2, "All landscaped areas shall be separated
from paved vehicular areas by six-inch high continuous
cement concrete curbing". After brief discussion,
Steven Stern advised that the applicant would comply
with all conditions. A motion was made by Councilman
