CITY MANAGER REPORT This item was taken out of order.so that a film of the
Measure "C" improvements could be viewed by the public
Measure "C" Update at an early hour. .
After the film was presented, the City Manager summar-
ized his memorandum dated November 4, 1988, relating
to the voters' approval of an appropriation increase
specifically allocated to street maintenance, parkway
repair, and construction of new sidewalks. As of
July 1, 1988, all of the excess proceeds of taxes
accrued frcin prior fiscal years had been spent accord-
ing to provisions of Measure "C Contracts for street
maintenance and parkway improvements have already been
awarded this fiscal year.and will be followed by addi-
tional contracts next spring. Since this item was
informational only, no Council action was required.
PUBLIC HEARINGS The Clerk announced that this was the time and place set
for the public hearings for Ronald Amburgey and Andrew
Amburgey/Carich Carich, 135 Ccmmercial Way, Costa Mesa, for property at
.2233 and 2239 Fairview Road:
GP -88-3B General Plan Amendment GP -88-3B, to change the land
use designation from General Commercial to High
Density Residential;
R-88-07 Rezone Petition R-88-07, to rezone from Cl to R4.
Environmental Determination: Negative Declaration. The
Affidavit of Publication is on file in the Clerk's
,office. No communications were received.
;The Deputy City Manager/Development Services summarized
the Staff Report. The Planning Commission recommended
,approval of GP -88 -3B -and R-88-07, with second reading
of the rezone ordinance held until February 6, 1989, to
ensure adequate time to consolidate the lots and process
la development plan:
'Ron Amburgey spoke in support of the requests, comment-
ing that residential use would generate much less
traffic than commercial use. Responding to questions
from the Council, Mr. Amburgey stated that R4 is the
only zoning which would be economically feasible, and
that he expected to submit project plans in four to six
'weeks.
Robert Hook, 208 Mayfair Lane, located in the Garden
-Park Village development adjacent to the subject site,
reported that the residents of Garden Park would prefer
retaining Cl, or a change to R3 with condominiums or
'town homes. They were opposed to rental units based on
;the fact that homeowners are more interested in the City
than renters.
Leon Tamasyan, President of the Garden Park Village
Homeowners Association, stated that Association members
.oppose R4 zoning. He commented that if the zone were
'changed to R3 and a project similar to the Garden Park
,Village were constructed, it would be acceptable.
Steve Elmer, 206 Mayfair Lane, was of the opinion that
an apartment development would downgrade the neighbor-
�hood. He also suggested that if the Vice Mayor and the
applicant were related, the Vice Mayor should abstain
from voting.
Ron Amburgey stated that condominiums or town homes
would not be proper for this location. He reported on
his intention to build a quality project, and offered
to show the project plans to the homeowners.
There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.
Council Member Wheeler was in favor of a General Plan
Amendment for high density residential; however, he
was opposed to R4 zoning, and preferred R3.
,Council Member Buffa was of the opinion that R4 zoning
'was not too dense for the site, and expressed his dis-
pleasure with the comments implying that renters are
undesirable citizens.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, suggested
;imposing a condition of approval which would allow a
,maximum of 24 units per acre.

Negative Member Hornbuckle, and carried 5-0, the Negative Declar-
Declaration ation of Environmental Impact was adopted.
Adopted
Council Member Wheeler agreed with the statement made by
Mr. Elmer concerning a conflict of interest because of
the family relationship between the applicant and the
Vice Mayor.
Vice Mayor Amburgey contended that there is no conflict
since he does not have a financial interest in the
project.
Council Member Buffa rejected the idea that a filial
relationship'is a reason to abstain from voting. He
commented that -the law merely requires that there is no
financial interest.

Appeal of RA -88-04
set for the public hearing to consider an appeal of the
(PA -88-125)
Redevelopment Agency's denial of Redevelopment Action
Guevara/Modic
RA -88-04 (Planning Action PA -88-125) from Luis Arturo
Guevara, 1747 Anaheim Avenue, Costa Mesa, authorized .
agent for William L. Modic, 1728 Placentia Avenue, Costa
Mesa, for auto sales and service, and outdoor work for a
business located within 200 feet of a residential area
at 1747 Anaheim Avenue, -in an MG zone. Environmental
Determination: Negative Declaration. The Affidavit of
Mailing is on file in the Clerk's office. No com munica-
tions were received.
The Deputy City Manager/Development Services summarized
the Staff Report, stating that this is a dual applica-
tion, a planning action for land use approval and a
redevelopment action for Agency approval. The applica-
tion actually consists of three Conditional Use Permits:
automobile repair in an existing building (along Anaheim
Avenue at Terminal Way), automobile retail sales in the
parking lot, and outdoor automobile repair. In addi-
tion, there is a 225 -square foot storage building on the
site for which there are no permits on file. The Deputy
City Manager reported that this site has an extensive
history of zoning code violations.
The Planning Commission approved auto repair only within
,the building, with conditions requiring that the site be
;improved with landscaping and that the illegal storage
building be removed. The Commission denied the outdoor
sale of vehicles and the outdoor repair of vehicles.
Neither Mr. Guevara nor Mr. Modic were.present at the
Agency meeting, and all requests were denied.
Luis Guevara stated that he has been made aware of the
problems at this site since 1981, and he will attempt
to improve the property in accordance with City stan-
dards. Mr. Guevara agreed to all conditions; however,
he explained that he needed additional time to complete
all the necessary improvements.
William Modic, owner of the property, explained the
problems he encountered with a former tenant who sub-
leased his portion of the site to Mr. Guevara without
making the improvements required by Code. Mr. Modic
asked that Council allow at least six months for com-
pletion of the work.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, disagreed with
the Staff Report, and commented that the neglect of past
tenants is not the fault of Mr. Guevara.
There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the
.public hearing.
MOTION A motion was made by Vice Mayor Amburgey, seconded by
Deny Applications Council Member Wheeler, to deny the applications.
Council Member Wheeler commented that the Redevelopment
Agency guidelines have not been met, and the use is not
compatible with the surrounding area.
Reponding to a question from Council Member Hornbuckle,
'the Deputy City Manager reported that there have been
no complaints from the neighbors.
Council Member Hornbuckle commented that the Redevelop-
ment Plan does state that heavy commercial uses should
not be encouraged in the Project Area for commercially
designated properties; however, this site is not zoned
commercial, and auto repair has been conducted at the
subject site for at least seven years with no complaints
from the neighbors.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION
Council Member Hornbuckle made a substitute motion to
PA -88-125 and
adopt the Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact;
RA -88-04 Approved

ture at the northwest corner of the site within 90 days
of final action on this project"; amend Condition of
Approval No. 3 to reflect the, use of drought -resistant
plants; amend Condition of Approval No. 5 to read: "All
outside vehicle hoists shall be removed before expira-
tion of the six-month Conditional Use Permit"; and deny

Rinker Canpany, Post Office Box 7250, Newport Beach,
owner of the .office building at. 275 East Baker Street,
opposing use of the subject site for automobile rental
service.
The Deputy City Manager/Development-Services reviewed
staff's memorandum dated November 3, 1988, and clarified
some confusing issues regarding the application. He
explained that the'MP Zone (Industrial Park) allows
storage behind a completely enclosed six-foot high fence
or wall; therefore, a permit is not required. Secondly,
waiver of interior landscaping is not required because
the applicant has revised his plans. Lastly, the Plan-
ning Commission determined that merely the fueling of
vehicles does not require a Conditional Use Permit. In
view of this ''information, the only remaining item to be
considered by Council is a permit for the car wash.

,a 5 -foot setback, larger motel rooms could be provided.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, was of the
opinion that the setback ordinance was adopted to ensure
'adequate Emergency vehicle access.

senting the mobile home park residents, reported that

;Council Member Hornbuckle reported that when she came on
the Council in 1984, she took a tour of the streets in
various parts of the City with a Public Services staff
member, and he mentioned at that time that the streets

CITY MANAGER
REPORTS The City Manager thanked Council Members Hall and
Council Members Wheeler on the fine job they have done while serving
Commended as members of the City Council.
The City Manager presented an I-405 Project Study Report
Study Report from the Transportation Services Manager dated Novem-
ber 7, 1988. He reported that even though this item is
not on the Agenda, it is an urgent matter which must be
acted upon by Council as soon as possible.
MOTION �On motion by Council Member Wheeler, seconded by Council
I-405 Study Declared Member Hornbuckle, and carried 5-0, the I-405 Project
an Urgency Matter ,Study Report was declared an urgency item.
The City Manager recommended approval of an appropria-
tion fora maximum of $25.,.000.00 frcxn development trip
charge funds -for additional professional services needed
to complete the I-405 Project Study Report. He reported
that the total estimate from IWA Engineers is $75,000.00;
however, staff believes two-thirds of that amount is
transit -related, and he -intended to contact the Orange
County.Transit District (OCTD) requesting that OCTD fund
the transitway items before the City commits any addi-
tional revenues. The City Manager stated that the
$25,000.00 would allow the balance of nontransit changes
to be made to -the I-405 improvements for processing
through CALTRANS.
Responding to a question from Vice Mayor Amburgey, the
City Manager stated that if OCTD were not willing to
provide the transit -related funds, staff will contact
CALTRANS and suggest that the transit requirements be
deleted.
MOTION A motion was made by Vice Mayor Amburgey, seconded by
Appropriation Council Member Hornbuckle, to appropriate $25,000.00
and Change,Order from unappropriated development trip charges for addi-
"F" Approved tional professional services required to complete the
I-405 Project Study Report; and to approve Change Order
"F" in an amount not to exceed $25,000.00 to the con-
tract with IWA Engineers, 17390 Brookhurst St., Suite
100, Fountain Valley, to complete activities specified
by CALTRANS to fulfill requirements for the I-405
Project Study Report, exclusive of the transitway items.
Council Member.Buffa opposed the motion, stating that
the I-405 Access Study is by far the most important
traffic project in the City,.the project has been
delayed for months, and will apparently be delayed
further because of a casual request from OCTD that
transitways be included.in the design. He ccwmented
that even though the City Manager will actively pursue
obtaining funds frcan OCTD he cannot support a transit -
way that does•not,exist, and has no funding in place.
The motion carried 4-1, Council.Member Buffa voting no.
