Councilwoman Schafer amended her motion to extend the time for Tentative Tract Map 11621 to December 7, 1984. The amended motion was seconded by Councilman McFarland, and carried 5-0. Paularino Avenue The Clerk presented the results of the Paularino Avenue Traffic Study Traffic Study. The Public Services Director summarized his letter to the Council dated January 6, 1984, which contains the '-following recommendations: (1) Keep Paularino Avenue open; (2) Improve turns at Yellowstone and Trinity Drives by prohibiting parking; (3) Program for left - turn signals at Bristol Street; and (4) Post supple- mental 25 mile -per -hour signs. The Public Services Director announced that a representative from the firm that prepared the study was present to review the docu- ment. Paul Wilkinson, of Linscott, Law and Greenspan, Incor- porated, 150-0 Paularino Avenue, Suite 120, Costa Mesa, gave a slide presentation of Paularino Avenue between Bristol and Bear Streets which was the subject of the study. He summarized the detailed document entitled: "Traffic Study Report, Paularino Avenue Traffic Study, Costa Mesa; California". During his presentation, Mr. Wilkinson discussed existing conditions on Paularino Avenue; future area traffic conditions if the street remains open for through traffic; Paularino Avenue closure alternatives; future area traffic conditions if the street is closed; alternatives to segment closure; noise assessment; and study segment recommendations. During discussion, Mr. Wilkinson answered questions from the Council concerning the various alternatives contained in the Traffic Study. Elsie Mae Deeter, 3067 Yellowstone Drive, Costa Mesa, stated that the Traffic Study was very well done and commented that the Study confirms that problems exist on Paularino Avenue. Mrs. Deeter opposed widening of Paularino Avenue and supported closure of the street. She also expressed her opinion that if the street is closed, property values will increase. Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights, stated that he felt a long-term solution for Paularino Avenue is necessary. Mr. C. Pitoniak, 786 Paularino Avenue, Costa Mesa, supported closure of Paularino Avenue and further com- mented that if Council decides to widen the street, then the City should purchase the properties and also compensate the residents for the inconvenience. Don Montgomery, 801 Paularino Avenue, Costa Mesa, supported the comments made by Elsie Mae Deter, Jerry Odegaard, and Mr. Pitoniak. He urged Council to make a decision so the residents on Paularino Avenue can plan for the future. Nicholas DiPietrantonio, 13651 Olympic Avenue, Costa Mesa, suggested that the City take a survey among the Paularino Avenue homeowners to determine how many people want to relocate and then make a decision on the alternatives contained in the Traffic Study. The Public Services Director presented recommendations from the Traffic Commission which were not previously available: Pursue a means to divert or reduce through -traffic on Paularino Avenue. Do not _close Paularino Avenue by use of barricades, cul-de-sacs, or other means at this time. Do not widen Paularino Avenue as a solution to the traffic problems. Improve Baker Street to the extent possible prior to diversion of traffic off Paularino Avenue. The Com- mission is especially concerned with a storm drain project scheduled for this year on Baker Street at Bear Street. Implement striping, parking, and speed posting meas- ures on Paularino Avenue as soon as possible. Maintain truck and bus restrictions on Paularino Avenue. Consider a westbound traffic diverter on Paularino Avenue approaching Bristol Street forcing all traffic to turn onto Bristol Street. The di'verter would be implemented as soon as short term improvements are completed on Baker Street. During discussion, Mr. Wilkinson answered questions from Mayor Hall regarding reduction of traffic on Paularino Avenue by use of diverters. In response to Councilman McFarland's inquiry, Mr. Wilkinson reported that approximately 90 percent of westbound traffic on Paularino Avenue is local traffic. The Director of Public Services and the Transportation Services Engineer answered questions from the Council regarding the recommendations made by the Traffic Commission. Councilwoman Schafer indicated that she would prefer more time to study these recommendations. All Council Members agreed that the Traffic Commission recommendations and the input from the residents should be discussed at a Study Session. MOTION On motion by Councilman McFarland, seconded by Council - Held Over wonan Schafer, and carried 5-0, this item was referred to the Study Session of February 14, 1984, at 2:00 p.m., in the fifth floor Conference Room of City Hall, and continued to the Council meeting of February 21, 1984. RECESS The Mayor declared a recess at 8:10 p.m., and the meet- ing reconvened at 8:25 p.m. MOTION Warrant 1238 Approved Johnson and McFarland Return On motion by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Council- woman Hertzog, Warrant Resolution 1238, including Payroll 8326, was approved by the following roll call vote: AYES: CODICIL MEMBERS: Hall, Hertzog, Schafer NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: CODICIL MEMBERS: Johnson, McFarland Council Members Johnson and McFarland returned to the Chambers at this time.

Upgrade Public The City Manager summarized a memorandum of August 11, Safety Computer 1983, from Lieutenant Regan of the Costa Mesa Police System Department, which details the need for the requested upgrade. He specifically mentioned the justifications contained on Pages 7 and 8, The City Manager concluded by requesting that this item be authorized for the 1984-85 budget. Mayor Hall commended Lieutenant Regan for the excellent report. MOTION A motion was made by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Agreement Councilwoman Hertzog, approving the agreement and Approved authorizing funds from the 1984-85 budget. The motion carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: CODICIL MEMBERS: Hall, Johnson, Hertzog, McFarland, Schafer NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: CODICIL MEMBERS: None PUBLIC HEARING The Clerk annnounced that this was the time and place Appeal of ZE-83-154 set for the public hearing for the appeal of the Plan- Cassidy/Dweck ning Commission's decision for Zone Exception ZE-83-154 from J. Brennan Cassidy, M.D., 131 East 17th Street, Costa Mesa, authorized agent for Steven Dweck, M.D., 1507 Sea Crest Drive, Corona del Mar, regarding total signage approved by the Commission for property located at 131 East 17th Street in a C2 zone. Environmental 'Determination: Exempt. The Affidavit of Mailing is on file in the Clerk's office. No communications have been received. The Development Services Director reviewed staff's memorandum dated January 11, 1984, which contains the background and discussion for this application. The appellant has painted a company logo on the easterly side of the building which covers approximately 714 square feet of the 1,218 square feet of building face., According to the Sign Ordinance, a wall sign is not permitted on the easterly side of the building. 232 In November, 1983, the Planning Commission approved a sign variance allowing a wall sign containing 86 square feet; however, it was later found that the actual dimen- sion of the easterly property line is 88 feet rather than 86 feet long. The applicant requested a rehearing and the Commission approved a sign for 133.5 square feet on the easterly side of the building. The approved sign area included 88 square feet, based on the 88 -foot long easterly property line, and 45.5 square feet of additional sign area. Councilman McFarland asked if applicant had obtained a permit for the present sign, and the Mayor responded that the sign was illegal. Doctor J. Brennan Cassidy was present and reported that a permit was not obtained for the existing sign because he was not aware that a logo is considered a sign. Dr. Cassidy requested approval for the existing 714 -square - foot sign, stating that the realignment of 17th Street has caused some confusion for motorists. Dr. Cassidy gave a slide presentation of the area and pointed out the various signs of nearby businesses. He expressed his opinion that the present logo is more aesthetically pleasing than a blank wall. Dr. Cassidy mentioned that he is attempting to purchase the adjacent vacant prop- erty which contains approximately 3,000 square feet. Vice Mayor Johnson was concerned that if the existing sign is approved, and if the adjacent property is developed, the appellant will relocate the sign to another part of the building. Dr. Cassidy responded that he would agree to a condition of approval that the sign will not be relocated. Councilwcman Hertzog reported that she viewed the site from a distance of approximately one block and that the sign could be easily seen from that distance. She also expressed her opinion that the existing sign is much too large. Nicholas DiPietrantonio, 13651 Olympic Ave., Costa Mesa, stated his preferance that signs be kept under control. He suggested that the hand on the sign be replaced by a small arrow. Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights, expressed his opposition to the Sign Ordinance and commented that the existing logo is not a sign, but a graphic. There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the public hearing. Councilman McFarland referred to a comment made by the appellant that ambulances do not bring patients to the center for emergency care and assumed from this state- ment that most people using the facility know where it is located. He also stated that he could not find justification for a sign as large as 714 square feet and that if this sign is approved, other businesses in the area will request the same consideration. MOTION A motion was made by Councilman McFarland, seconded by Upheld Planning Vice Mayor Johnson, to uphold the Planning Commission's Commission's decision approving a maximum sign area of 133.5 square Decision feet. Vice Mayor Johnson commented that the sign is much too large. Council Members Hall and Schafer indicated that they felt the sign was appropriate. The Mayor called for a vote on the motion to uphold the Planning Commission's decision, and the motion carried 3-2, Council Members Hall and Schafer voting no. PUBLIC HEARING The Clerk annnounced that this was the time and place Appeal of ZE-83-170 set for the public hearing for the appeal of the Plan- Connelly/Haagen ning Commission's denial of a wall sign in connection with Zone Exception ZE-83-170, from James P. Connelly, 3008 Main Street, Santa Monica, authorized agent for _ Haagen Development, 3500'Sepulveda Boulevard, Manhattan Beach, for property located at 179-A East 17th Street in a C1 -CP zone. Environmental Determination: Exempt. The Affidavit of Mailing is on file in the Clerk's office. No communications have been received. The Development Services Director reviewed staff's memorandum dated January 11, 1984, concerning this request. The appellant originally requested a wall sign containing 366 square feet with 48 -inch high letters, and a third panel, 10 square feet in area, on one of the existing ground signs. The Planning Commis- sion approved the ground sign; however, the wall sign, even as reduced by the applicant to 145 square feet with 28 -inch high letters, is not permitted by either the Code or the Planned Signing Program. Appellant's justification for the wall sign is that the restaurant is located in the corner of the site and because of its distance from both 17th Street and Orange Avenue. However, several other tenants are located in the corner of the property and have less signage than this business because of its inclusion on one of the ground signs. Staff feels that approval of the wall sign would establish a precedent for similar requests from adjacent tenants. Also, should the adjacent empty property be developed, the wall sign probably would no longer be visible. The Development Services Director also pointed out that the Planning Commission removed the condition requiring conformance of the billboard with the applicable ordi nance requirements because the property owner has no legal control over the billboard. James Connelly was present and answered questions from the Council. He stated that the requested signage was necessary for proper exposure of the restaurant. Councilwoman Schafer stated that'she could not see that the wall sign would give better exposure and mentioned that she had no trouble locating the restaurant. Councilwoman Hertzog mentioned that when she visited the site, she had no trouble locating the sign; however, the name of the restaurant, "Chester's Drawers" confused her because it does not indicate what type of business it is. Councilman McFarland stated that he did not believe the wall sign would be a benefit to Mr. Connelly. Vice Mayor Johnson agreed with Mr. McFarland that a wall sign would not help the success of the business and suggested that instead, the money be spent to pranote the restaurant. Councilman Hertzog asked if Mr. Connelly could utilize a promotional sign for 30 days. The Development Ser- vices Director responded that a promotional banner for 30 days each year is permissible. Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights, again expressed strong opposition to the Sign Ordinance. He stated that he felt the appellant's business, as well as other businesses in the City, will suffer because of this ordinance. There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the public hearing. Mayor Hall stated that one inequity existed and that is the ratio between the frontage, 16 lineal feet, and the business area, 6,500 square feet, and that this should be considered. MOTION On motion by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Council - Upheld Planning man McFarland, and carried 4-1, Mayor Hall voting no, Commission's Council upheld the Planning Commission's approval of Decision additional sign area on the existing ground signs, denial of the wall sign, and deletion of Condition No. 1 concerning the billboard. PUBLIC HEARING The Clerk announced that this was the time and place Parking set for the public hearing for a proposed ordinance Requirements amending Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code for Motels regarding parking requirements for motels. The Affi- davit ffidavit of Publication is on file in the Clerk's office. No commun icat ions have been received. The Development Services Director reported that current Code provisions require motel units with kitchen facili- ties acilities to supply the same parking that would be required for residential units of the same size. The ordinance specifies the number of spaces required and provides that one space per unit must be covered. The proposed ordinance will not change the number of spaces required, but will delete the requirement to cover the parking, except for the manager's unit. There being no speakers, the Mayor closed the public hearing. MOTION On motion by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Vice Ordinance 84-2 Mayor Johnson, Ordinance 84-2, being AN ORDINANCE OF Given First THE CITY CODICIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, Reading AMENDING TITLE 13 OF THE COSTA MESA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR MOTELS, was given first reading and passed to second reading by the following roll call vote: AYES: CODICIL MEMBERS: Hall, Johnson, Hertzog, McFarland, Schafer NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None PUBLIC HEARING The Clerk announced that this was the time and place Ramp Slopes in set for the public hearing for a proposed ordinance Parking Garages amending Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code concerning ramp slopes in parking garages. The Affi- davit of Publication is on file in the Clerk's office. No communications have been received. The Development Services Director referred to staff's memorandum of December 12, 1983, and stated that based on the information contained therein, staff suggests that the ordinance be amended to provide two separate maximum slopes: one for transition ramps, and one for ramps with direct access to parking, and to include criteria for consideration of Conditional Use Permits. The criteria are listed in the memorandum. There being no speakers, the Mayor closed the public hearing. 235 MOTION On motion by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Vice Ordinance 84-3 Mayor Johnson, Ordinance 84-3, being AN ORDINANCE OF Given First THE CITY CODICIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, Reading CONCERTING RAMP SLOPES IN PARKING GARAGES, was given first reading and passed to second reading by the following roll call vote: AYES: CODICIL MEMBERS: Hall, Johnson, Hertzog, McFarland, Schafer NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None PUBLIC HEARING The Clerk announced that this was the time and place Abandonment South set for the public hearing to consider the abandonment of 17th Street of surplus City right-of-way located between Tustin and Between Tustin and Irvine Avenues, south of 17th Street. The Affidavits Irvine Avenues- of Publication and Posting of the Property are on file in the Clerk's office. Notifications of the.public hearing have been mailed to affected utility companies. No communications have been received. The Development Services Director reported that staff has recommended that the public hearing be continued to the meeting of February 21, 1984, to allow for discus- sion of concerns regarding future development of East 17th,Street at the joint Council/Planning Commission Study Session of February 14, 1984. Bob McLaughlin, 470 Cambridge Circle, Costa Mesa, asked that this item be continued to a later date. MOTION On motion by Councilwoman Hertzog, seconded by Vice Held over Mayor Johnson, and carried 5-0, the public hearing was continued to the meeting of February 21, 1984, as requested by staff. NEW BUSINESS The Clerk presented Zone Exception ZE-83-165, Daniel Dworsky, FAIR and Associates, Incorporated, 2029 Century ZE-83-165 Park East, Suite 350, Los Angeles, authorized agent for FAIR/Sakioka Sakioka Farms, Incorporated, 14850 East Sunflower Ave- nue, Santa Ana, for a Final Development Plan for a 15 -story, 182 -room residential hotel, with a restaurant containing 1,900 square feet and meeting roans contain- ing 3,500 square feet; and a variance frau parking requirements, located at the northwest corner of Anton Boulevard and Sakioka Drive in a PDR -UC zone. Environmental Determination: Environmental Impact Report accepted for General Plan Amendment GP -83-1A. The Development Services Director reported that the project is discussed in detail in the Planning Staff Report. Analysis of the project shows that it sub- stantially complies with all development standards of the PDR -UC zone, and that several environmental miti- gation itigation measures will be implemented to reduce potential energy and noise impacts. Referring to applicant's request for a parking variance, the Director stated that parking variances, permitting parking reductions of up to 30 percent, have been previ- ously reviously granted to the South Coast Plaza/Town Center area. The requested variance proposes a 14 percent parking reduction which is well within the range of previously granted variances. Because the hotel use is expected to overlap with the uses of the meeting rooms and restaurant, as well as with neighboring uses, the pro- posed variance appears to be a reasonable adjustment to the parking requirements. The Planning Commission recommended approval subject to conditions contained in the Staff Report with Conditions No. 3, No. 6, and No. 14 amended as follows: No. 3. "The driveway width providing access to Anton Boulevard shall be designed, in conjunction with staff, to be approximately 40 to 57 feet in width." No. 6. "Facilities shall be provided for separation of waste materials in the proposed hotel." No. 14. "Provide for installation of three Class A fire hydrants on-site, location to be deter- mined by the Fire Department staff." Michael Oberst, Transpacific Development Company, 21515 Hawthorne Boulevard, Suite 500, Torrance, developer for the project, submitted colored photographs of the model of the "Guest Quarters" residential hotel. Mr. Oberst gave a brief description of the total project, answered questions from the Council, and agreed to all conditions as amended by the Planning Commission. MOTION A motion was made by Councilman McFarland, seconded by ZE-83-165 Vice Mayor Johnson, approving Zone Exception ZE-83-165, Approved based on the findings contained in the Staff Report, and subject to conditions as amended by the Planning Commission. The motion carried 5-0. Final Decision Councilwoman Schafer referred to the last paragraph in for Final staff's memorandum of January 11, 1984, concerning the Development Planned Development Ordinance which allows the Council Plans to delegate decision-making authority to the Planning Commission for Final Development Plans. The memorandum further states that should the Council so desire, the Final Development Plan for the second phase of the Sakioka development may be decided upon by the Planning Commission. All Council Members agreed that final action for Final Development Plans should remain with the Council. 15 -Year The Clerk presented a resolution approving the Orange Transportation County Transportation Commission 15 -year Transportation Investment Plan Investment Plan and authorizing the placement on the June 5, 1984, ballot, a proposed one percent sales tax for financing Transportation Plan projects. Mayor Hall stated that this item had been discussed at length at the special joint meeting with the Planning Commission and Traffic Commission held on January 10, 1984. He reported that the resolution must be adopted in the form submitted. Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights, spoke in opposition to the proposed resolution because he felt the plan would not solve the traffic problems in Orange County. He also stated that it was his under- standing that if the Council adopted the resolution, it would be an endorsement of the proposed tax. Mayor Hall explained to Mr. Odegaard that adoption of the resolution only indicates Council's approval to put the tax measure on the ballot for a decision by the voters. MOTION On motion by Vice Mayor Johnson, seconded by Councilman Resolution 84-11 McFarland, Resolution 84-11, being A RESOLUTION OF THE Adopted CITY CODICIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFOI]IA, TO JOIN WITH THE COUNTY OF ORANGE AND OTHER ORANGE COUNTY CITIES TO AUTHORIZE THE PLACEMENT OF THE TRANS- PORTATICN INVESTMENT PIAN ON THE JUNE 5, 1984, BALLOT, was adopted by the following roll call vote: 1 237 AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Hall, Johnson, Hertzog, McFarland, Schafer - NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None Planning-- The Clerk presented a request from Planning Commission Commission to receive compensation for one additional meeting in Compensation January, 1984. The Planning Commission is scheduled to have six meet- ings eetings in January and Resolution No. 80-91 requires Council action for the Commissioners to be paid for more than five meetings in a month. The Council Members agreed that additional compensation for the special meeting is not justified. ORAL Jerry Odegaard, 1642 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights, COMMLV ICATIONS addressed the Paularino Avenue Traffic Study which was discussed earlier in the meeting. He suggested that Paularino Avenue a long-term solution would be to first condemn the Traffic Study properties on that street and then make a decision on how to alleviate the traffic problems. Orange County Nicholas DiPietrantonio, 13651 Olympic Avenue, Costa Transportation Mesa, referred to the ballot measure for a one percent Plan increase in sales tax to support a Transportation Plan for Orange County. He suggested that Orange County cities question County officials concerning the traffic problems which exist, and the poor condition of Newport Boulevard. Noise Complaint Mr. DiPietrantonio also reported a noise problem he is experiencing. His hone is located next to the Full Gospel Fellowship building and its trash bin is adjacent to his bedroom window. His complaint is that the trash pickup at 5:00 a.m. is very disturbing.
