Street, and Rutgers on Monrovia Avenue between 18th and 19th Streets, on
Drive Tuesdays, 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Item 8 (b) - Parking prohibition for street sweeping
on Avocado Street between Fairview Road and College
Avenue on Wednesdays, 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
Item 8 (c) - Parking prohibition for street sweeping
on Rutgers Drive between Wilson Street and Avocado
Street on Wednesdays, 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
The Traffic Commission requested that Council reconsider
the tow -away policy and recommended that resolutions be
adopted prohibiting parking for street sweeping for the
above three items with tow -away provision..
Councilwaman Hertzog reported that she had canvassed
the Avocado Street and Rutgers Drive neighborhoods and
those residents favored citations instead of vehicle
tow -away.
Mayor Hall explained that at a previous meeting, the
City Council agreed to do away with enforcement of the
tow -away provision because the members felt that issu-
ing citations is sufficient warning to motorists to
remove their vehicles on street sweeping days.
Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights,
who owns property on Avocado Street, explained that a
portion of that street is zoned cammercial and street
sweeping during daytime hours presents a problem.
The Director of Public Services reported that staff
can make certain adjustments so that street sweeping
in commercial areas and in residential areas will be
at different times. He recommended that these items
be referred back to Traffic Engineering for amend-
ments, including deletion of the taxa -away provision.
MOTION .-On motion by Councilwoman Hertzog, seconded by Vice
Referred Back Mayor Johnson, and carried 5-0, Items 8 (a), 8 (b),
to Traffic and 8 (c) were referred back to the Traffic Engineering
Engineering Division for the amendments recommended by the Director
of Public Services.

Advance Conference Advance for $400.00, for a police officer to
attend the Concord Police Department State Pistol Match
in Concord, and the California Highway Patrol State
Pistol Match in Sacramento, May 18-20, 1984.
Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights,
expressed his opinion that attendance at pistol matches
will not enhance the Police Department, and felt that
the money should be spent for items of higher priority.
The City Manager reported that the Police Department has
had a pistol team.since 1953, that the team consists of
four officers, and that the team enters four matches per
year. He recanmended that the advance be approved.

dure for allocating funds for public service programs.

Parking in College The Clerk presented Traffic Commission recommendations
Park/Amphitheatre concerning parking in the College Park area in connec-
tion with the Pacific Amphitheatre patrons.
The Director of Public Services referred to a letter
from.the Transportation Services Engineer, dated May 3,
1984, which contains recommendations from the Traffic
Commission. The Canmission voted unanimously against a
permit parking program for.the subject area; however,
one of their various recommendations endorses the clos-
ing of the neighborhoods by using barricades this year
and to have staff monitor and evaluate the effectiveness
of the barricading program.
In contrary to the above, the Director again recommended
that Council adopt a permit parking program for the
College Park area to control parking in that neighbor-
hood during Amphitheatre concerts and other Fairgrounds
events. The Director's recommendation is detailed in
his letter dated May 3, 1984.
Karen Millar, 223 Wellesley Lane, representing Concerned
Citizens of Costa Mesa, asked that the barricade program
be continued and to add permit parking as well.
Don Baldwin, 203 Wellesley Lane, also a member of Con-
cerned Citizens of Costa Mesa, stated that barricading
the streets is not adequate protection and asked that
an ordinance be adopted with a tow -away provision.
Arlene Dowski, 332 Hanover Drive, agreed that the barri-
cade program is not sufficient to alleviate the parking
problems and requested that the City adopt an ordinance
implementing a permit parking program. She suggested
that more police officers be used to patrol the area.
Mayor Hall felt that the only way to resolve the parking
problem is to try permit parking. He recommended that
if permit parking is implemented, it should be at no
cost to the residents. The Mayor also suggested not to
utilize a tow -away provision.
Councilwoman Hertzog requested that the Amphitheatre
management be advised of the permit parking if the
Council approves that program.
Councilman McFarland requested that consideration be
given to parking restrictions on Saturdays and Sundays
when the Swap Meet is being held at the Fairgrounds.
Councilwoman Hertzog asked about including Clearbrook
Lane within the parking restriction area. The City
Manager confirmed that there is a severe problem on that
street on weekends and suggested that staff meet with
those residents.
The City Manager asked if the parking citation bail can
be set at $50.00 or $75.00. The City Attorney replied
that he will investigate that possibility.
MOTION A motion was made by Councilman McFarland, seconded by
Staff Directed to Councilwoman Hertzog, and carried 5-0, directing staff
Develop Permit to develop a permit parking ordinance to be submitted
Parking Ordinance to the Council at the meeting of June 4, 1984.
Hold Harmless The Clerk presented a Hold Harmless Agreement between
Agreement with the City and the Newport -Mesa Unified School District
School District which was a condition of approval for Zone Exception
ZE-83-118.
..331
The City Attorney reported that Ray Schnierer, of the
School District, has indicated that our agreement is
unacceptable per County counsel. He forwarded the
District's Hold Harmless Agreement which would hold
each agency mutually harmless. The City Attorney
recommended that the City's requirement be waived.
MOTION On motion by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Council -
Agreement woman Hertzog, and carried 5-0, the Hold Harmless
Requirement Agreement requirement for Zone Exception ZE-83-118 was
Waived waived.

Cultural Funding The City Manager presented his statement concerning a
Policy Cultural Funding Policy. The City Council recently
requested the City Manager's staff to research other
canmunities within the State to determine if those
communities fund cultural activities, and if they do,
what type of policy do they use.
The City Manager explained that the purpose of a Council
policy concerning cultural arts would be to provide a
set of uniform guidelines, conditions, and criteria
governing the application and granting of funds to
private organizations for the purpose of supporting
their ongoing operational expenses and/or their sponsor-
ship of special events. The City Manager then read the
seven general policy statements which are contained in
his memorandum dated March 26, 1984.
MOTION On motion by Vice Mayor Johnson, seconded by Council -
Cultural Policy woman Hertzog, and carried 5-0, the Cultural Funding
Approved Policy recommended by the City Manager was approved.
PUBLIC HEARINGS The Clerk announced that this was the time and place set
for public hearings for Malcolm Ross, authorized agent
Ross/Segerstran for C. J. Segerstrom and Sons, 3315 Fairview Road, Costa
Mesa, for undeveloped properties bordered by Sunflower
Avenue, Fairview Road, the San Diego Freeway, and Harbor
Boulevard:
EIR Environmental Impact Report for the Hone Ranch Master
Plan.
GP -83-1B General Plan Amendment GP -83-1B, to amend the General
Plan designation from Industrial Park to Commercial
Center.
R-83-02 Rezone Petition R-83-02, to rezone the property from
MP, Industrial Park, to PDC, Planned Development
Commercial.
The Affidavit of Publication is on file in the Clerk's
office. No communications have been received.
The Planning Cammission made the following recommenda-
tions: accept the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) as
adequate; adopt a resolution approving General Plan
Amendment GP -83-1B, Option I, and implementing Guide-
lines A through E; and approve Rezone Petition R-83-02
by giving first reading to an ordinance.
The Associate Planner gave a slide presentation of the
project and summarized Option I, which is contained in
the Staff Report. This alternative is the development
proposed by the applicant for a land use designation of
Commercial Center and is intended for large areas with
333
a concentration.of diverse or intense commercial uses.
As it is intended -to be applied to large centers, both
local and regional needs will be served, and ready
access to transportation facilities is important. The
site is appropriately located for the requested land
use designation in that it is adjacent to a freeway as
well as several major arterial streets and is not
adjacent to any residential development.
The Associate Planner also discussed traffic and air
quality impacts, housing requirements, and the need
for increased fire and police protection.
Malcolm Ross, of C. J. Segerstrom and Sons, was present
to answer questions from the Council and stated that the
projected canpletion time for this project is 10 to 15
years.
The Development Services Director reported that as each
block is developed, traffic studies will be made to
determine what mitigations must be made. He also stated
that applicant will prepare housing plans during certain
phases of construction and submit them to the City.
Councilman McFarland mentioned that at the Study Session
at which this item was discussed, it was indicated to
Council that the housing required for the project is to
be located within the City.
Dave Leighton, 1074 Redding Avenue, representing the
North Costa Mesa Hameowners Association, suggested that
the residents in the area where new housing is planned
should be consulted before a`housing plan is approved
by the City.
Mayor Hall explained that the.EIR requires that a hous-
ing program be submitted before a project can proceed,
and when that housing plan is presented to the City,
public hearings must be held and at that time citizen
input will be received.
Mr. Leighton referred to the 144 units on South Coast
Road, east of Fairview Road, which were approved as -
affordable housing, but now the units are being
constructed and "for rent" signs are posted on the
site. The Development Services Director pointed out
that although a project is designed to condaminium
standards, it is legal for the owner to rent the units
if he so desires.
Bernard Simon, 1779 Tanager Drive, expressed his opinion
that when a developer receives approval for construction
of condaniniums, he should not be allowed to rent those
units.
Mayor Hall responded that it is a matter of free enter-
prise and that the City did not have the authority to
prevent a property owner'fram renting his units regard-
less of the fact that those units were constructed to
condominium standards, which is more expensive than
rental construction.
Jerry Ireland, 1934 Flamingo Drive, real estate broker,
stated that it was his opinion that housing should be
specified "for sale" or "for rent".
Councilman McFarland expressed surprise at the comments
by Mr. Leighton concerning the project on South Coast
Drive near Fairview Road, and stated he felt that the
property owner has the right to do what he wants with
his project.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, was concerned
about the additional traffic that this project will
produce.
Mayor Hall reiterated that this is a 10- to 15 -year
project which has been studied for over a year. He
reported that the project will create funds to improve
traffic because the developer must pay $45.00 per trip
end for traffic purposes. The Mayor also commented
that if further construction were stopped in the City,
traffic frau other cities would still cause increased
traffic within the community.
Denise Curry, 963 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, agreed with
Mr. Soffer regarding increased traffic, and also ques-
tioned the property owner's right to sell or to rent
his units. She felt that the City should have that
authority.
Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights,
spoke in opposition to the project because of the
increased traffic it will generate.

RECESS The Mayor declared a recess at 8:40 p.m., and the meet-
ing reconvened at 9:00 p.m.
Mayor Hall announced that the next item would be taken
out of order because of the many people who were in
attendance for the appeal of Zone Exception ZE-84-65.
PUBLIC HEARING The Clerk announced that this was the time and place
Appeal of ZE-84-65 set for the public hearing to consider an appeal of the
Tucker Planning Canrnission's denial of Zone Exception ZE-84-65,
from Dr. Renee Namaste Tucker, 3142 Cork Lane, Costa
Mesa, for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a private,
nonprofit social center, and to allow customer traffic
in conjunction with hypnotherapy consultation in a
single-family residence located at the above address
in an Rl zone. Environmental Determination: Exempt.
The Affidavit of Mailing is on file in the Clerk's
office. No canmunications have been received.
Mayor Hall reported that the Council had received a
communication fram Dr. Tucker this evening supporting
her appeal.
The Development Services Director referred to staff's
memorandum dated May 2, 1984, and reported that the
Planning Cammission denied this application which was
described as a Conditional Use Permit to operate a
civic/community club to hold socials and discussion
groups in a single-family residence. The appellant
appealed the item, claiming that the association,
Association Rennaissance Creators (ARC), is private
and nonprofit, similar to other groups that conduct
meetings on a regular basis in private homes. The
Director pointed out that during the public hearing,
it appeared that the use is a private, nonprofit social
center being conducted in conjunction with private and
group hypnotherapy classes. In view of this informa-
tion, the request was modified: Conditional Use Permit
to operate a private, nonprofit social center and to
allow customer traffic in conjunction with hypnotherapy
consultation in a single-family residence. The Costa
Mesa Municipal Code expressly prohibits this use in
all residential zones.
Dr. Tucker was present to speak in support of her
application and stated that her intent was to do the
community a service. She agreed that traffic has
increased since the socials started; however, she has
received permission to use the parking lots of a nearby
church, supermarket, and gasoline station. Dr. Tucker
stated that in order to avoid further confusion, ARC
will no longer offer hypnosis classes, and also men-
tioned that she was not aware that her neighbors
objected to the activities at:her hone until the Plann-
ing Carnmission hearing.
Steven Cherry, 3138 Cork Lane, stated that he is Dr.
Tucker's neighbor and has never witnessed disorderly
conduct or littering as a result of the activities at
her residence. He asked that Council approve the
application since Dr. Tucker has made arrangements for
off-site parking.
Jim Wagner, 3150 Bray Lane, spoke on behalf of all those
residents in the audience opposing the permit. He
stated that there is a parking problem in the neighbor-
hood and traffic congestion due to the activities
conducted at Dr. Tucker's home and urged Council to
deny the application.
Mayor Hall mentioned that an agreement between Dr.
Tucker and the businesses offering use of their parking
lots would be required for the off-site parking. He
also expressed concern with traffic impacts on that
residential area.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, commented that this appli-
cation would only generate 300 to 2,000 trip ends while
the previously approved Segerstron project will generate
77,000 trip ends.
There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.
MOTION A motion was made by Councilman McFarland, seconded by
ZE-84-65 Councilwoman Schafer, and carried 5-0, denying Zone
Denied Exception ZE-84-65 based on the analysis and findings
contained in the Staff Report and in staff's memorandum
May 2, 1984.
NEW BUSINESS The Clerk presented the proposed development of Fairview
Fairview Regional Park for public discussion.
Regional Park
Postcard notices were mailed to those people indicating
they wished to be notified whenever Fairview Regional
Park is scheduled to be discussed by the City Council.
The following communications have been received:
Letter from Robert W. Lynn, President of the Pacific
Bluffs Homeowners Association, 2231 Pacific Avenue,
Unit B-4, requesting that if a park must be developed
in this area, that the proposed lake be located at
the south end of the park and the campgrounds to the
north. The letter also mentions that the residents
were told when they purchased their condominiums,
that the land below the bluffs could not be developed.
Letter from Jon Paradis, President of the North Costa
Mesa Homeowners Association, stating that the Associa-
tion agrees with the position of the Mesa Verde Home-
owners Association in that plans regarding Fairview
Regional Park are proceeding too rapidly, an Environ-
mental Impact Report has been completed, and the deci-
sion making process should include input from citizens
primarily impacted by the proposed development.
Petition containing 108 signatures, requesting that
all parking be planned north of the proposed lake.
A petition containing 517 signatures was presented to
the Clerk during the meeting. The petition expresses
concern over the rapidly developing plans for the
park. It also contains a request to eliminate the
Recreational Vehicle Campground Area, that an environ-
mental impact study and report be provided, and that
other uses be offered to residents living in the area
so that Council might have more citizen input.
The Director of Leisure Services introduced the follow-
ing persons: Ralph Hudson, Chief Recreation Facilities
Design, County of Orange; Richard Hume, Vice President
of The Reynolds Environmental Group, preparers of the
General Development Plan (GDP) Report; and Doreen
Marshall, from the office of Thomas Riley, County
Supervisor for the Fifth District.
Richard Hume, Reynolds Environmental Group, 3190-J
Airport Loop Drive, Costa Mesa, summarized the General
Development Plan Report which was presented to the Mesa
L�
337
Verde Homeowners Association a few weeks ago, and pre-
sented to the City Council at the Study Session of
April 9, 1984.
The park site contains 283 acres, of which 26 acres are
owned by the City and the remainder are owned by the
County. The draft plan proposes an 18 -hole golf course,
six softball fields, a 22 -acre lake, and recreational
vehicle camping. One-half of the site will be reserved
for open space, trails, picnic area, and natural habi-
tats. The site will also contain an entry booth and
administrative building.
Dr. Alfred Gobar, of Alfred Gobar and Associates,
Incorporated, Brea, reviewed Appendix D, Revenue and
Cost Analyses for Fairview Regional Park, which was
prepared by his corporation.
Exhibit I is a summary of projected revenues for park
uses which exclude golf courses and the slow pitch soft-
ball
oftball complex, Park uses in Exhibit I include picnicking,
bicycling, lake fishing, and boating. Projected revenue
from these activities is $648,883.00 per year, with
operating expenses projected at $600,000 per year. The
Revenue and Cost Analyses states that camping or a
recreational vehicle campground is a component that
implies significant revenue potential but which, for
public policy reasons, may not be a desirable element
in the ultimate design of the park.
Exhibit II is a summary of the probable financial out-
come of developing the 120 -acre portion of the park
site for a golf course as distinct from the assumption
in Exhibit I that the 120 acres would be developed for
turf, trees, and open space.
Exhibit III summarizes the financial outcome for each
investment level assumption for three hypothetical
alternatives regarding how the facility would be oper-
ated. Exhibit IV details the various combinations
of proposed uses.
The Director of Leisure Services reported that per the
agreement between the City and the County, each agency
must pay half the maintenance costs for the park.
George Dernbach, 2065 Swan Drive, stated that he and
several other residents had discussed this project with
the Fountain Valley police personnel since that city
presently has a regional park, Mile Square Park. The
police officer reported that response time by the
sheriff's department for that park is inadequate.
Fountain Valley had offered to do its own patrolling;
however, the County did not wish to pay the cost.
Gilbert Collins, 3159 Sharon Lane, teacher at Estancia
High School, expressed several points of opposition to
the draft development plan: it proposes nothing for
children's activities, such as skateboarding, or grass
skiing, and preservation of wildlife and vegetation is
not adequate. Mr. Collins favored elimination of night
time activities, and reduction of the size of the golf
course to nine holes. He mentioned that he stated his
ideas in a letter to Mayor Hall and the Director of
Leisure Services.
Ed John, 2239 Pacific Avenue, stated that his property
extends to the bottom of the bluff, and requested that
the park be fenced to protect the residents from
vandalism.
John Vozenilek, 2271 Pacific Avenue, spoke in opposition
to the proposed recreational vehicle campsite because of
noise and the cost of additional police protection.
Margaret Weaver, 2211 Pacific Avenue, also opposed the
campsite unless the plan is amended by relocating it to
the north side of the proposed lake.
Jim Wagner, 3150 Bray Lane, opposed any development of
the park.
Larry Campeau, 1955 Balearic Drive, objected to having
a campground within the City limits. He felt security
would be inadequate, the lake would be for the benefit
of the campers, not the community, and asked that the
campground proposal be eliminated from the plan.
Art Reese, 2069 Swan Drive, expressed concern with
traffic and noise impacts if the park is developed.
He also suggested that an Environmental Impact Report
be prepared.
Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights,
opposed the man-made lake because it would be costly to
maintain and not environmentally clean.
Dick Mehren, 1824 Kinglet Circle, favored the site being
kept in its present wildlife state. He felt that there
has been too much development in the City and that this
site may be the last open space remaining in the cammun-
ity. Mr. Mehren also opposed the plan for a third golf
course within the City.
Peter Moore, 1016 Nancy Lane, was concerned with
environment and drainage. Mr. Moore referred to the
storm in March, 1983, at which time much flooding
occurred in his neighborhood, including his own hare.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, stated that the residents
near the park site should be given every consideration
regarding this development and suggested that this
project be put on a ballot.
Alan Weber, 2166 Pacific Avenue, commented that the
proposed plan is an overdevelopment of the site, and
overdevelopment produces failure. He further remarked
that the citizens do not want the lake nor the campsite,
and in view of this, the park should remain as is.
Stephen McNash, 2292 Canyon Drive, reported that his
property is very close to the park and recammended that
a portion of the site be reserved for equestrian use.
Mr. McNash approved of the proposed lake.
Ken Wayman, spoke on behalf of the Newport -Mesa Unified
School District, 1601- 16th Street, Newport Beach, and
expressed the Board's desire that the archeological and
wilderness sites be preserved. He voiced concern over
increased traffic. Mr. Wayman reported that the School
District Board has expressed its willingness to cooper-
ate with the City and the cammunity regarding develop-
ment of the site.
William Vermolen, 998 Modjeska Circle, opposed the
recreational vehicle campsite alternative and urged
Council to retain the park in its natural state.
Phil Salisbury, 1711 Skylark Lane, Newport Beach,
representing the Harbor Soaring Society, reported that
the remote control gliders which they fly are very
quiet. He mentioned that this group has used other
City and County properties for this activity for which
they have paid a fee. Mr. Salisbury expressed a desire
to use the regional park in the future.
Jonathan Schiesel, 1898 Parkcrest Drive, agreed with the
comments made earlier by Mr. Collins of Estancia High
School regarding the need for facilities for children.
He asked if a citizens' committee will be formed to
submit input for the proposed development.
Jack Ross, 1865 Swan Drive, stated that he liked the
idea of a golf course but was concerned about the loca-
tion of the starting facility and parking lot. He asked
that it not be located near the residences.
Michael Noonan, 2293 Pacific Avenue, requested that the
park remain as it is.
Mayor Hall commented that an Environmental Impact Report
will not be done until after a decision has been made for
the park development. He also noted that most of those
who spoke this evening were opposed to the campground.
At the request of the Mayor, the City Manager explained
that the County purchased the property approximately 8
to 10 years ago at a total price of $4 million. He
reported that the City and County have a joint develop-
ment agreement and any plans for the park must be
approved by the City. The Manager also expressed con-
cern over the proposed campsite and lake. He suggested
that the City could proceed in forming a citizens
advisory committee to discuss all options.
Ralph Hudson, representing the County of Orange, was
present to answer questions from the Council. In
response to the Mayor's inquiry, he advised that there
is a time constraint as far as the State is concerned.
The time limit stated in the County's agreement with
the State for development of the park is 10 years and
that time has already past.
During discussion, it was mentioned that there are many
questions to be answered concerning extension of time,
the City's alternatives for development or a decision
not to develop, and formation of a citizens committee.
Vice Mayor Johnson stated that the County should realize
that more time is needed to resolve this issue. Coun-
cilman McFarland preferred keeping the site as it is
but felt it probably isn't realistic.
End of Fairview The City Manager recommended that one other alternative
Park Discussion be considered, and that is for the City to purchase the
land from the County.
RECESS Mayor Hall declared a recess at 11:45 p.m. and the
meeting reconvened at 11:55 p.m.
PUBLIC HEARING The Clerk announced that this was the time and place
R-84-06 and set for the public hearing for Rezone Petition R-84-06,
ZE-84-54 Keith Murdoch and Alan Osborn, 516 Wedgewood Drive,
Murdoch/Osborn/ Anaheim, authorized agents for Ramb Associates, doing

The Clerk also presented Zone Exception ZE-84-54, for
approval of a list of specified non -industrial uses
for an existing industrial development.
The Development Services reviewed the Staff Report and
staff's memorandum of May 2, 1984, and referred to the
Council Study Session of April 30, 1984, when questions
arose regarding increased traffic generated by the
rezone. Staff suggests that since the commercial uses
will primarily serve the adjacent industrial uses,
traffic impacts should be minimal. The Planning
Commission and Planning staff recanmended approval.
Keith Murdoch was present to answer any questions from
the Council, but there were none. Mr. Murdoch agreed
to all conditions of approval for the zone exception.
There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.

Vehicles ordinance concerning abandoned, wrecked, dismantled,
or inoperative vehicles. The Affidavit of Publication
is on file in the Clerk's office.

The Development Services Director outlined the modifi-
cations to Municipal Code Sections 11-65 et seq. which
are contained in staff's memorandum of May 2, 1984.
Section 11-65.1 has been added which gives the City
enforcement alternatives. A definition of an inopera-

is necessary to the operation of a lawfully conducted
business or commercial enterprise". Subsection (a)(3)
of Section 11-67 has been reworded to refer specifi-
cally to a Conditional Use Permit.
Roy Pizarek, 1923 Whittier Avenue, reported that he had
done a survey of inoperative vehicles in his neighbor-
hood several weeks ago and he found there were 97
vehicles. He submitted his documentation to the Clerk.
Mr. Pizarek mentioned that the residents in his area

Denise Curry, 963 Arbor Street, stated that she has
just become aware of the dangerous conditions caused by
abandoned vehicles, for example, potention fire hazards.
She also mentioned that these vehicles have a negative
effect on the appearance of the neighborhood.
Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights,

PUBLIC HEARING ! The Clerk announced the public hearing to consider an
Appeal of ZE-83-121 appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of Zone
Curtis/Botts Exception ZE-83-121, from Jack Botts, 2490 Fairview
Road, Costa Mesa, for an extension of time for a
Conditional Use Permit to allow off-site parking by
Pacific Amphitheatre patrons on a seasonal basis, for
property located at the above address in a C1 -CP zone.
Environmental Determination: Exempt. The Affidavit
of Mailing is on file in the Clerk's office.
Communications in opposition to the permit have been
received from Veronica and Douglas Rhodes, 328 Hanover
Drive, Costa Mesa; and from Arlene and Arthur Dowski,
332 Hanover Drive, Costa Mesa.
The Development Services Director referred to staff's
memorandum dated May 2, 1984, which states that the
Planning Commission denied renewal of the permit because
they felt that approval would allow the management of
the Fairgrounds and Amphitheatre to avoid the responsi-
bility of mitigating the adverse impacts of the various
uses on the surrounding neighborhoods. Staff is con-
cerned because of potential traffic circulation and
pedestrian traffic problems as well as the site's loca-
tion directly adjacent to a residential neighborhood.
Tobie Curtis, authorized agent for Mr. Botts, 2349
Notre Dame Read, Costa Mesa, mentioned that he resides
in the College Park area which has been severely
impacted by traffic generated by the Fairgrounds and
Amphitheatre. Mr. Curtis stated that this permit had
been approved for the prior year, and since there have
been no complaints from the neighbors, and since the
managers of the Fairgrounds and Amphitheatre have done
nothing to improve the parking and traffic situation,
he felt Mr. Botts's request should be approved. He
also mentioned that if parking is allowed at subject
site, it would alleviate the parking problems being
encountered in the nearby neighborhoods. Mr. Curtis
commented that the applicant -has a right to use his
property to produce additional income and pointed out
that the Amphitheatre patrons will park on the site
anyway and under those circumstances, there would be
no supervision of the premises.
Mayor Hall expressed agreement with sane of Mr. Curtis's
comments and stated that the applicant was in the middle
of an unpleasant situation. Mayor Hall reported that
he was with the police while they patrolled the area on
a Saturday night when a concert was being held, and
noticed that cars were parked at applicant's business
even though the gas station was closed.
Councilman McFarland stated that the people that sent
letters opposing the request do not live near the
applicant's property. He felt that since the nearby
neighbors have not voiced any objections that the
permit should be approved.
Mr. Curtis agreed to all conditions except Condition
No. 4, "Applicant shall ensure that all trash between
the Amphitheatre and the site is cleaned up after the
performances". Mr. Curtis stated this is unrealistic
and agreed to trash clean-up on the site only.
There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.
MOTION A motion was made by Councilman McFarland, seconded by
Extension of Councilwoman Schafer, to approve the extension of Zone
ZE-83-121 Exception ZE-83-121 subject to all conditions contained
Approved in the Staff Report, with Condition No. 4 modified to
read that applicant is responsible for cleaning his own
property but not the public right-of-way; and based on
the following findings: applicant is willing to meet
the conditions as modified; and approval of the request
is not detrimental to the area nor does it cause a
hazard for pedestrians because of the crosswalk and
signals located at that intersection. The motion was
seconded by Councilwoman Schafer, and carried 3-2,
Mayor Hall and Councilwoman Hertzog voting no.
NEW BUSINESS The Clerk presented Zone Exception ZE-84-78, Richard A.
ZE-84-78 Sewell, 136 Rochester Street, Costa Mesa, authorized
Sewell/School agent for the Newport -Mesa Unified School District, Post
District Office Box 1368, Newport Beach, for a Conditional Use
Permit to exceed the allowable density, and variances
from open space, parking, building height, building
separation, and setback requirements, for a 79 -unit
apartment project at 1857 Placentia Avenue in an R4
zone. Environmental Determination: Negative Declara-
tion.
A communication was submitted to the Clerk from Robert
E. Weimar, 823 Towne Street, Costa Mesa, opposing the
project.
The Development Services Director showed slides of the
property and reviewed staff's memorandum of May 3, 1984.
As the memorandum indicates, the project is being
processed under the provisions of State law relating to
density bonuses for affordable housing projects. A
second aspect is an agreement between the builder and
the City to assure that the units in the density bonus
program are made available to low- and moderate -income
households. While Mr. Sewell has indicated general
acceptance of the Density Bonus Agreement, he would
prefer to limit the qualifying units to one -bedroom
units while staff prefers to provide a mix of both one -
and two-bedroom units.
The Development Services Director also mentioned that
nine residents from the Towne Avenue single-family
343
tract south of the project site met with the applicant
to voice their concerns regarding the project. The
applicant offered to provide adjacent residents with
trees to further buffer their hares fran the proposed
apartment project. In view of this information, staff
suggests that Condition No. 39 be added: "Applicant
shall provide three 15 -gallon trees, to be selected by
the applicant, to interested haneowners on Towne Avenue
who back up to the subject property".
Richard Sewell was present and explained that the 17
units which must be set aside for low- and moderate-
incane households should be determined by what the
market demands at certain times. He pointed out that
the bonus agreement is a 30 -year contract and he felt
that the mix of one-bedroan and two-bedroan units
should be determined by the market demand.
The Development Services Director stated that he is
confident that the applicant will work with the City
regarding the above matter; however, he felt that
this type of option may set a precedent.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, stated that the local
newspaper no longer prints local news. Mr. Soffer aired
his concerns regarding development of Fairview Regional
Park. Lastly, he mentioned the graffiti problem which
exists at Whittier Elementary School and in the vicinity
of Whittier Avenue and 19th Street.
Terry Lovitt, owner of apartment units at 863 Center
Street, Costa Mesa, stated that his property is located
in the vicinity of the Sewell project which was approved
this evening. He reported that he has done extensive
upgrading of his property and others in the area have
done the same; however, he and others in the neighbor-
hood are having a difficult time renting their units
because of drug trafficking, prostitution, and litter.
He stated that the police have been very helpful and
asked that the City assist in cleaning up that area.
Costa Mesa Float Les Becker, 465 Cambridge Circle, Costa Mesa, member
of the Costa Mesa -Newport Harbor Lions Club, requested
funding, in the amount of $2,600.00, for the Costa Mesa
Float which will be used in the Lions Club parade and
three other parades in the County. Mr. Becker stated
that the theme for the float is "Salute to Sports".
Mr. Sewell concluded by stating that this project is
not a good environment for children because of the
•
high density. He agreed to all conditions of approval
except the unit mix recamnended by staff.
