THE RB)UIREMENTS CONCER\IING RIGHT-OF-WAY EEDI- CATION WITHIN THE CITY CP COSTA MESA, was given second reading 'and adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Hall, Amburgey, Wheeler, Hornbuckle, Buffa NOES : COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None Request for The Clerk presented a request from Abrams Development, Rehearing of Incorporated, for a rehearing cf Planning Action PA -87-173 PA -87-173, J. A. King and Associates, Incorporated, King/Abrans Rost Office, Box 7992, Newport Beach, authorized agent for Abrams Development, Incorporated, 10861 Cherry Street, Los Alamitos. In a memorandum dated December 28, 1987, the Development Services Director reviewed the past action for this application. On December 21, 1987, Council denied a 163 -unit project. Applicant is requesting a rehearing of Planning Action PA -87-173 for Ahich he has submitted a revised plan consisting of 110 units plus 28 density bonus/affordable units for a total of 138 units. Due to the constraint on the pending second reading of ordinance 87-23 (Rezone Petition R-87-11), the applicant 00 ; requests the Council to consider the revised 138 unit project instead of having to resubmit a new application. (On November 2, 1987, Ordinance 87-23 was given first reading, with the stipulation that secord reading arra adoption will be held for a maximum of 90 days.) Jerry King, 550 Newport Center Drive, Suite C, Newport Beach, referred to his application for rehearing which contains eight issues which he believes remain unresolved. George Leslie, 1874 Parkcrest Drive, Costa Mesa, asked if the revised plan would first be considered by the Planning Commission. Mayor Hall responded that it is not necessary for the application bo be heard by the Commission if that is the Council's desire. MOTION Vice Mayor Amburgey was of the opinion that there are Rehearing Granted sufficient grounds fpr a rehearing and made a motion togrant the rehearing to consider the revised plans. The motion was seconded by Council Member Buffa. Council Member wheeler opposed the motion because it was his belief that grounds for rehearing should be limited to certain new facts or information which were not available at the previous hearing, or could not haw been discovered prior to the previous hearing. Council Member Wheeler suggested denying the request and directing the applicant to submit the new plans through the nornnal channels. Council Member Hornbuckle camented that the Council would not actually be rehearing the same project which was presented at the last rreeting, but would be looking at a project similar to one which the Planning Commis- sion cons iciered for 146 units. The Development Services Director confirmed that the revised plan for 138 units is very similar to the plan previously submitted to the Commission. Jerry King explained that he was asked to submit both plans (146 units aryl 163 units) to the Planning Commis- sion and both projects were addressed in the Staff Report. The motion to grant the rehearing carried 4-1, Council Member Wheeler voting no. Mayor Hall announced that the rehearing will be heard at the ireeting of January 18, 1988, and notices will be mailed to surrounding property owners. Council Member Hornbuckle commented that her vote in favor of considering the 138 -unit project should not be construed as indicating that she supports the density being requested by the applicant. WARRANTS On motion by Council Member Wheeler, seconded by Council Member Hornbuckle, Warrant Resolution 1380, including MOTION Payroll 8726, and Warrant Resolution 1381, were approved Warrants 1380 and by the following roll call vote: 1381 Approved AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Hall, Amburgey, 'Pheeler, Hornbuckle, Buffa NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None 1 1-1 CITY MANAGER The City Manager summarized his memorandum dated Decem- REPOR'I'S ber 21, 1987, an update concerning the Shalimar Drive Task Force. Council established the task force in July, 1987, . tto evaluate existing conditions on Shalimar Drive and to pursue options to upgrade the housing conditions. Six options are contained in the report for implementa- tion of the improvements, and the task force recommended that the Council.support.'Option No. 3: "Considering the condition of "several of the units on Shalimar Drive, we. could undertake a pro -active enforcement program coupled with'_the loan program outline_ d in Opt ion ' 2 to ' upgrade the housing condi- tions. This would involve meetings with the property owners arra appropriate City staff and Council repre- sentatives in an effort to actively upgrade all of the housing stock on Shalimar Drive. This would probably include low interest loans to correct all existing Code deficiencies and improve the appearance of the neighborhood, coupled with reasonable occupancy limits and on-site management. Staff would also recommend efforts to secure Section 8 housing assistance for tenants currently living in the neighborhood. In instances where the property owners refuse to partici- pate in the loan program or upgrade the units on their own, the City would follow through with strict Code enforcemant". Vice Mayor Amburgey reported that he and Council Member Wheeler served as Council representatives on the task force and they both believe Option No. 3 is the most, desirable option should they receive the cooperation of the property owners. MOTION A motion was made by Vice Mayor Amburgey, seconded by Authorized Council Member Wheeler, to support implementation of Implementation Option No. 3, stipulating that if property owners are of Option No. 3 not willing to comply, Option Nos. 4, 5, and 6 shall be utilized as needed.
