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. MOTION On motion by Council Member Buffa, seconded by Council 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.

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.

Rinker, 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.
