Parking and Traffic The Clerk presented recommendations from the Planning
Circulation on Commission and Traffic Commission concerning parking
Newport frontage and traffic circulation on Newport Frontage Road, south
Road of 18th Street.
The Development Services Director reviewed the Associate
Planner's memorandum of May 16, 1984, which contains a
chronology of the recent actions concerning this item.
The Planning Commission recommended that, as a temporary
solution, the area be restriped to allow 50 -degree park-
ing on both sides of the frontage road. This would
provide additional parking but would result in a one-way
southbound traffic pattern. As a long-term solution,
the Commission recommended acquisition of a portion of
the landscaped berm currently owned by CALTRANS and
installation of double -loaded 90 -degree parking on the
southerly portion of the frontage road. This would
allow two-way traffic and would provide additional
parking.
The Development Services Director also reported that at
the Planning Commission meeting of May 29, 1984, two
items will be considered: a request from The Golden
Truffle to legalize its operation as a full-service
restaurant and to expand into an adjoining unit; and a
review of the Bamboo Terrace's "Back Door Club".
The Director of Public Services summarized the recom-
mendations of the Traffic Commission which are contained
in the Transportation Engineer's letter to the Council
dated May 9, 1984. The Commission recommended no change
in circulation on the frontage road, and specifically,
not to make it a one-way street. In addition, the
Commission recommended that if additional parking spaces
are required by particular merchants, paving the land-
scaped berm area should be done at the expense of those
merchants. Lastly, the Commission recommended that the
existing one-hour parking be strictly enforced by the
Police Department, and to consider implementation of
valet parking to alleviate the current parking problems.
Kathy Young, owner of the Bamboo Terrace Restaurant,
which is located in subject area, explained some of the
parking problems which now exist. She stated that if
The Golden Truffle is allowed to expand, it would hamper
her business because of the shortage of parking spaces.

At the suggestion of Councilman McFarland, Mayor Hall
directed staff to.forward the applications for the two
restaurants, which were mentioned earlier by the
Development Services Director, to Council for final
action after the Planning Commission hearings.
Mayor Hall suggested that if there is to be strict
enforcement of parking requirements, that the time
limit be extended to two hours.
MOTION A motion was made by Councilman McFarland directing
Staff and Traffic staff to investigate the possibility of using the berm
Cammission Directed area for additional parking; and directing the Traffic
to Investigate Commission to evaluate whether the one-hour parking
Certain Options limit is adequate, or if two-hour parking should be
considered. The motion was seconded by Councilwcman
Schafer, and carried 5-0.

CITY MANAGER
REPORTS The Assistant City Manager presented an agreement with
the County of Orange for the County to perform animal
Agreement with control services for the City of Costa Mesa.
Orange County for
Animal Control The Assistant City Manager summarized his report dated
Services May 21, 1984, and which was discussed at the Council
Study Session on April 9, 1984. Staff has been working
with the County of Orange for the past year on a pro-
posal for animal control services. These negotiations
were a result of the 1983-84 budget sessions in recogni-
tion of the high cost of the program and decreasing
revenues.
The Assistant City Manager reviewed the advantages of
the County services: (1) The County will provide a
broader range of'services; (2) The County will cammit
to an intensive canvassing of the City to license dogs
over a three-month period and will be repeated every
two to three years; (3) The City will save approximately
$150,000.00 during the first year; (4) The County has
a very good record of service under their current con-
tracts with 17 other cities and the unincorporated
areas of the County; and (5) If additional patrol time
over and above that which is normally provided by the
County, there is a possibility that the County will
allow the local agency to purchase additional service.
The disadvantages contained in the report are: (1) The
City will lose some level of local control over the
program; (2) Cost for animal licenses would increase
from $10.00 for unaltered and $5.00 for spayed/neutered
dogs to $15.00 and $6.00, respectively; (3) The County
animal control program is not geared to providing sub-
stantial time for patrol; and (4) If the City were to
contract with the County, it would be necessary, in the
staff's opinion, to follow up with a public relations
program to inform the public of this change.
The Assistant City Manager concluded by reviewing the
conclusions contained in his report and recommended
that the City enter into an agreement with the County
for Fiscal Year 1984-85.
Mr. Pat Dolan, 923 West 20th Street, Costa Mesa, opposed
contracting with the County for animal control services,
and suggested that staff investigate various methods of
implementing the program without loss of revenue.
Richard DeGreve, Orange County Animal Control Director,
explained the County shelter services which the City
already utilizes, and pointed out that dogs without
identification are held for an average of four days,
and those with identification are kept for approximately
nine days.
Ted Pearse, 466 Cambridge Circle, Costa Mesa, opposed
contracting with the County, and commended the City's
existing program, specifically the short response time
by the animal control officers.
Beverly Chappelle, 206 Fairway Place, Costa Mesa,
reported that she had spoken to staff at the Laguna
Beach Shelter and described the program in that city,
stressing the success of its volunteer program. She
requested that Council continue this item for one month
so that she could obtain more information from other
agencies who have made their programs self-supporting.
Costa Mesa residents, Bob Yoder, 155 Buoy Street, and
Lee Gibbs, 1863 Pitcairn Drive, favored local control
because of its efficiency.
The Council Members commended the Assistant City Manager
for the excellent report. Council Members Johnson,
Hall, and Schafer expressed their desire to keep the
animal control services and licensing under City
control. Council Members Hertzog and McFarland favored
contracting with the County for these services.
Mayor Hall suggested that cats also be licensed and
recommended that if the City retains the program, fees

The Development Services Director pointed out that Zone
Exception ZE-84-75 was presented for informational pur-
poses only and no action is required since final action
was with the Planning Commission.
The Development Services Director reviewed the Staff
Report which indicates that the majority of the block
where this site is located is zoned either R3 or R4;
therefore, the rezone is consistent with other sites in
the immediate area. Approval of the project will allow
the site to be brought into conformance with current
parking requirements, as well as allowing for the up-
grade of the site. The Planning Commission and Planning
staff recommended approval.
Bob Yoder, 155 Buoy Street, Costa Mesa, objected to the
higher density.

SP-84-O1/R-84-09/
and Rezone Petitions R-84-09 and R-84-10, Costa Mesa
R-84-10
City Council, to consider development standards and
alternative zonings, including retention of the exist-
xistEast
East17th Street
ing C2 (General Commercial.) zone, or rezone to C1
(Neighborhood Commercial) or CL (Commercial Limited),
for the following properties: 300 through 499 East
17th Street; 315 and 325 East 17th Place; and at 1676,
1678, 1710, and 1714 Santa Ana Avenue. Environmental
Determination: Negative Declaration. The Affidavit
of Publication is on file in the Clerk's office. No
communications have been received.
The Associate Planner reviewed the document entitled,
"SP -84-01, East 17th Street Specific Plan, R-84-09,
R-84-10". In response to concerns of residents in the
area, the City Council directed preparation of the
Specific Plan for East 17th Street from Santa Ana
Avenue to Irvine Avenue. The intent of SP -84-01 is
to alleviate the problems generated by the proximity
of the commercial and residential uses in the area.
Properties in the Specific Plan area total approxi-
mately 33 acres, all zoned C2 and designated for General
Commercial use. Properties fronting on Santa Ana Ave-
nue, Tustin Avenue, and Irvine Avenue within 290 feet
of East 17th Street, are also included in the Specific
Plan area.
The area contains a mix of primarily office and commer-
cial uses. In the block between Santa Ana Avenue and
Tustin Avenue, 57 percent of the land is developed with
shopping centers. Other uses include a bank/office
13.E
building, three free-standing restaurants, a fast food
restaurant, and four automotive service stations.
The block between Tustin Avenue and Irvine Avenue has
no shopping centers. There are six restaurants and
five automotive businesses. A six -story office building
has been constructed near the east end of this block.
Commercial properties in this area directly abut the
backyards of single-family residences.
Residents in the area have expressed concern over
problems relating to noise and privacy. At a meeting
held on March 21, 1984, at the Neighborhood Cammunity
Center, staff presented possible solutions to property
owners within the area. These solutions are detailed
on Pages 5 and 9 of the previously referenced document.
The Planning Commission and Planning staff's recommen-
dations are shown on Pages 12 and 13 of the document.
Larry Kirshenbaum, 427 East 17th Street, Costa Mesa,
strongly opposed rezoning these properties and urged
Council to retain the C2 designation.
Martha Benvenuti, owner of property between Tustin and
Irvine Avenues, also opposed rezoning of East 17th
Street, stating it would be unfair to the business
people in that area.
The following Costa Mesa residents and/or business
owners supported retaining. C2 zoning: Sid Soffer, 900
Arbor Street, Costa Mesa; Bob Yoder, 155 Buoy Street,
Costa Mesa; and Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street,
Santa Ana Heights.
Ted Pearse,' 466 Cambridge Circle, Costa Mesa; and Bob
McLaughlin, 470 Cambridge Circle, President of the Mesa
Heights Homeowners Association, both supported the
Specific Plan and rezoning East 17th Street in order to
alleviate the noise and privacy problems.
Sid Soffer and Bob Yoder spoke again in opposition to
the rezoning.
There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.
Mayor Hall thanked both the homeowners and business
people for presenting their views of the proposed plan.
At the request of Councilwoman Hertzog, the Associate
Planner related the uses permitted in the Cl, CL, and
C2 zones so that the public would be aware of the
differences.
It was mentioned earlier in the meeting that the Council
had discussed the Specific Plan and possible rezones at
two previous Study Sessions and were quite familiar with
the proposals. During discussion, Councilman McFarland
indicated his support to rezone the subject area to Cl
because he felt it would be the best solution for both
the residents and the business people, and the other
Council Members expressed agreement with his statements.

Street, No. 226, Fountain Valley, for a Conditional
Use Permit to allow the addition of a 455 -square -foot
storage room to an existing service station, located
at 1045 E1 Camino Drive in a Cl zone. Environmental
Determination: Exempt. The Affidavit of Mailing is
on file in the Clerk's office. No communications have
been received. The appellant was not present.
The Development Services Director recommended that this
item be referred back to the Planning Commission for
resolution.
There being no speakers, the Mayor closed the public
hearing.
MOTION
Referred Back On motion by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Council -
t6 -Planning man McFarland, and carried 5-0, this item was referred
Commission back to the Planning Commission.
PUBLIC HEARING The Clerk announced the public hearing for the appeal
Appeal of ZE-84-74 of the Planning Commission's denial of Zone Exception
Lenchner ZE-84-74 from Carol Lenchner, 1926 Kauai Place, Costa
Mesa, for a variance from accessory structure height
limits for a satellite dish antenna in the back yard
of an existing single-family residence located at the
above address in an R1 zone. Environmental Deter-
mination: Negative Declaration. The Affidavit of
Mailing is on file in the Clerk's office. No communi-
cations have been received.
The Development Services Director reviewed this request,
reporting that the dish antenna measures approximately
20 feet thus exceeding the height limit by approximately
five feet. The appellant has stated that lowering the
antenna to 15 feet would interfere with reception of
satellite signals. The appellant has planted trees to
screen the dish antenna from the neighboring properties
and has painted the dish and supporting structures a
pale blue to blend with the background.
The Director also reported that the Planning Commission
could not make findings of site hardship or extraordi-
nary circumstances, or findings of compatibility and
1
therefore denied the request. The Planning staff
recommended approval due to reception requirements of
satellite dish antennas and screening of the antenna
provided by the backyard location and landscaping.
Herbert Lenchner was present and spoke in support of
the variance. He stated that he did not intend to
harm his neighbor and moved the dish so the neighbor's
view of the golf course would not be marred. Mr.
Lencher mentioned that if the dish antenna is lowered,
reception will be hindered.
Barbara Martin, 1924 Kauai Place, opposed the variance
and asked that the request be denied. She stated that
the sound from the antenna is disturbing at night and
that such a structure should not be allowed in the R1
zone. Mrs. Martin also commented that the trees which
Mr. Lenchner planted have helped to block the antenna
from her view; however, the trees are in a planter box
which is causing the fence to lean because of its
heavy weight.
Mayor Hall asked if he could resolve the noise and
fence problems, and Mr. Lenchner stated that he would.
Ray Siposs, 5200 Irvine Boulevard, Tustin, technical
advisor for installation of the dish antenna, was
present to answer questions from the Council. He
pointed out that the dish is actually only 12 feet in
diameter, and that some type of insulation will be
installed to reduce the noise.
Mike McCartin, attorney for Mr. Lenchner, was also
present and stated that he represented the appellant in
Harbor Court when the City filed a complaint because of
ordinance violations. During discussion of this matter,
the City Attorney reported that if the variance is
granted, the case will be dismissed.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, commented that
there will be more demands for this type of antenna and
felt it would cause problems among neighbors.
Bob Yoder, 155 Buoy Street, Costa Mesa, asked how much
wind force this structure could withstand, and Mayor
Hall responded that it can withstand a maximum wind
force of 125 miles per hour.
There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.
MOTION A motion was made by Councilman McFarland, seconded by
ZE-84-74 Councilwoman Schafer, to approve the Zone Exception
Approved based on the findings and analysis contained in the
Staff Report, and subject to all conditions shown in
that report, with Condition No. 1 amended to show a
maximum height for the structure to be 20 feet. The
motion carried 4-1, Vice Mayor Johnson voting no.
PUBLIC HEARING The Clerk announced that this was the time and place

Village approving the issuance of mortgage revenue bonds for
financing the construction of Costa Mesa Family Vil-
lage in the Wallace Neighborhood Strategy Area. The
Affidavit of Publication is on file in the Clerk's
office. No communications have been received.
Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights,
spoke in opposition to the use of mortgage revenue bonds
to finance this type of project.
e3. 0
The Development Services Director referred to staff's
memorandum dated May 21, 1984, concerning Condition
No. 8. Staff had originally included a condition that
the restaurant be limited to use by motel patrons only;
however, after several discussions with the City
Attorney and the applicant, staff suggests that Condi-
tion No. 8 be modified as follows to more closely meet
the intent of having the restaurant available to motel
guests: "Food and beverage service shall be limited to
overnight guests of the motel and a Land Use Restriction
shall be recorded stating this restriction prior to
release of occupancy". By reducing the number of rooms
frau 180 to 174 and reducing the area of the restaurant,
as shown in a modified plan, as well as the inclusion
of Condition No. 8 (restaurant billing) and Condition
No. 9 (signage for the restaurant) per the applicant's
suggestion, staff felt that justification for the
overlapping parking was valid.
Mr. Ray, the applicant, was present and agreed to all
conditions except that portion of Condition No. 8 which
states that the Land Use Restriction must be recorded.
The City Attorney stated that the requirement can be
enforced by the City without the recorded restriction.
Jerry Odegaard, 1632 Pegasus Street, Santa Ana Heights,
Vice President of the Sherwood Estates Homeowners Asso-
ciation, read a letter received from the applicant, and
stated that the haneowners feel that their needs have
been met because of the landscaping proposed for the
southerly boundary of the project site which abuts the
Sherwood Estates properties.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, did not oppose
the project but questioned the validity of denying the
public the use of the restaurant.
MOTION A motion was made by Councilwanan Schafer, seconded by
ZE-84-53A Vice Mayor Johnson, and carried 5-0, adopting the
Approved Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact, and
approving Zone Exception ZE-84-53A subject to all condi-

Housing The Clerk presented a request from the Planning Commis -
Development sion for the establishment of a Housing Development
Committee Commission.
Mayor Hall referred to the Assistant City Manager's
memorandum of May 15, 1984, which summarizes the objec-
tives of_the proposed committee. The specific tasks
deal principally with technical issues, such as,
exploration of current market conditions as they relate
to zoning regulations, development standards, building
codes, and project processing. Along with the memoran-
dun are copies of the Committee Formation Application,
and an outline which specifies the goals and objectives
of the committee.
Walter Davenport,, Chairman of the Planning Commission,
was present to answer questions from the Council, and
commented that he felt the committee should function
freely in that no Commissioners would be included in
Committee; however, they would attend the meetings.
Mayor Hall and Councilman McFarland expressed their
support of forming such a committee.
MOTION A motion.was made by Councilman McFarland, seconded by
Formation of Vice Mayor Johnson, and carried 5-0, approving forma -
Committee tion of a Housing Development Committee as recommended
Approved and that committee members will be selected by the
Planning Commission.
CHOC/PADRINOS/KFWB The Clerk presented a request to hold a CHOC/PADRINOS/
5K and 10K Race KFWB 5K and 10K race in the South Coast Metro area on
Sunday, September 23, 1984.
The Assistant City Manager stated that staff has not
made a recommendation because it has been Council policy
not to allow these events on City streets. He.suggested
that if the race is approved, that the conditions"shown
in his memorandum of May 10, 1984, be imposed. The `.
conditions are:
(1) Insurance be provided to the satisfaction of
the City Attorney;
(2) No detouring of traffic;
(3) Police officers stationed at each intersection
to stop traffic and pass the runners; then move
traffic;
(4) Signals at affected intersections would be placed

at each intersection to control traffic and paid
for by the sponsors of the race (special events
rate at $15.41 per hour with a three-hour mini-
mum).
Mike Harrison, 14321 Chambers Road, Tustin, one of the
sponsors of the.race, was present and agreed to all
conditions.
Councilwoman Hertzog suggested that Calvary Chapel be
notified that their members will be required to detour
on that Sunday.
MOTION
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Johnson, seconded by
Race Approved

request subject to conditions recommended by staff.

construction of the senior citizens project on property
Senior Citizens
bordered by Orange Avenue, Bay Street, and Laurie Lane.
Housing Project
He reported that the block wall is encroaching six
inches into the public right-of-way and no building
permits were obtained for the wall. Mayor Hall
responded that it would be unfair to punish the St.
John the Divine Episcopal Church, developer of the
project, for the contractor's error. The Development
Services Director advised the Council that the church
has been informed to apply for an abandonment of the
six inches and a modified variance. Mr. Yoder asked
to be notified when this item is put on the Planning
Cc mission Agenda.
Housing Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, favored the
Development formation of the Housing Development Cammittee which
Cc mmittee was approved earlier in the meeting. He suggested
that the canmittee goals also include caimercial
properties.
