Patricia Schuda, 2895 Palau Place, Costa Mesa, commented on an article in the Daily Pilot Newspaper which refers to Costa Mesa as a mecca for the homeless; and another article in the same newspaper reporting that a transient has been linked to a recent stabbing death. She wanted transients -removed from the neighborhoods, and commented that any thought of allowing the Soup Kitchen to use Rea Community Center boggles the mind. Mrs. Schuda stated that any ! Council Member, past members included, who voted for the massive give-away programs in this City, have created an environment of welcome to the transient population, and they must share in the responsibility for the chaos which has resulted. Fireworks Ban Leona Malcolm, 426 Cabrillo Street, Costa Mesa, urged Council to ban the sale and .use of fireworks, and if Council did not wish to do so, recommended placing the fireworks issue on the ballot for voters to decide. She reported that fireworks were responsible for the fire at her home during the recent July 4 weekend. Margaret Hodges, 420 Cabrillo Street, Costa Mesa, also spoke against allowing the sale and use of fireworks, and suggested having the voters decide on the fireworks issue. The City Manager announced that Council will be receiving a report from the Fire Marshal on fireworks incidents.

He thanked Council for their participation in the committee meetings, and reported that they will be meeting with homeowners groups in Newport Beach and Huntington Beach in an attempt to obtain input on these important transportation issues from citizens in the entire area. 19th Street Widening Diann Osterlund, 329 East 19th Street, Costa Mesa, read a letter and 19th Street signed by mostly Costa Mesa residents, with some signatures of Bridge residents from neighboring cities, in opposition to any plans to widen Dover Drive and 19th Street, or to construct the 19th Street bridge.

He commented that funding for the arts and special events have not been removed from the budget as yet. Mayor Hornbuckle asked about a proposed presentation by the Police Department. The City Manager stated that the presentation could be made at any meeting so designated by Council. The Mayor suggested having it at the meeting of July 20, 1992, if the agenda is not too full. Amplified Music in Jeanne Brown, 951 Presidio Drive, Costa Mesa, spoke about an City Parks incident at TeWinkle Park when 250 picnickers had amplified music which was extremely annoying to the nearby residents. She reported that the police responded to her call and told her there was no Code violation; however, it was her understanding that the City did not allow amplified music in its parks. The City Manager commented that staff has not allowed amplified music in the parks even though it is not spelled out in the Municipal Code. He stated that it may be necessary to adopt an ordinance but enforcement may be difficult. Harris v. City of Barbara Beck Jencks, 443 Flower Street, Costa Mesa, referred to the Costa Mesa Harris v. City of Costa Mesa lawsuit, stating her opposition to construction of an accessory apartment. at 439 Flower Street. Mrs. Jencks asked if new plans were submitted by Mr. Harris, and if so, will they be considered at new public hearings. The City Attorney responded that this issue would be discussed during closed session. Soffer Comments Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, suggested that the City could control loud music at the parks by utilizing that section of the Penal Code regarding "disturbing of the peace". Mr. Soffer again brought up the issue of permits for the police substation on the west side, contending that it does conform to State Code.

The City Manager asked for clarification on proceeding Program with this item in that during the 1992-93 Budget deliberations on June 15, 1992, staff, was directed not to proceed with any new consulting contracts because of Council's concerns with the financial status of the City. He advised Council that staff is in the process of preparing a summary, report on all consulting contracts utilized by the City, the amount of the contracts, and the services being provided. The City Manager commented that this program is funded by CDBG funds, and if the contract were deleted, the program could not be carried out because of insufficient staff. Council Member Humphrey pointed out that a maximum cost for this program has not been defined. The City Manager responded that based on past history, an amount not to exceed $53,000.00 would be appropriate.

Buffa Transportation Item 9. on the Consent Calendar was presented: Transportation Improvements improvements for the - Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency (ISTEA) Act (ISTEA) of 1991: Wilson Street, two sections of Fairview Road, Victoria Street, ' and Placentia Avenue. Mayor Hornbuckle announced that she would abstain from voting on this item because two of the projects are within 2,500 feet of her home. She felt it would be appropriate for her to abstain based on a recent opinion from the City Attorney. Vice Mayor Genis proceeded to chair the meeting for discussion ,of the proposed improvements. The City Manager's reason 'for removing these items from the Consent Calendar was the same as for the previous item concerning consulting contracts. He reported that these projects would be Federally funded through the ISTEA program and would add over $1 million to the City's transportation program. Nancy Palme, ,1997 Kornat Drive, Costa Mesa, asked that the rehabilitation of Placentia Avenue include realignment because of the many accidents that have occurred on certain sections of that street. John Feeney, 1154 Dorset Lane, Costa Mesa, asked for an explanation of "rehabilitation". The Public Services Director responded that there are restrictions placed on these funds and they cannot be used for realignment. As to "rehabilitation",' he explained that structural testing must be done on each street per Federal requirement; therefore, costs for upgrading are much higher. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, questioned the short time frame being imposed in order to obtain the funds, and commented that the Federal Government does not have the money to fund these projects. Responding to Mr. Soffer's comment on time frame, the Public Services Director reported that in order for contracts to be awarded in a timely manner, CALTRANS (California Department of Transportation) must have the City's plans by September 1, 1992. MOTION A motion was made by Council Member Erickson, seconded by Funding Source and Council Member Humphrey, to take the following action: Design Agreements Approved Approve funding source and an agreement with Boyle Engineering Corporation, 1501 Quail Street, Newport Beach, for $66,138.00, to design the rehabilitation of Wilson Street from Placentia Avenue to Pacific Avenue, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign. the agreement on behalf of the City.

The motion carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Genis, Humphrey, Erickson NOES: 'None ABSENT: Buffa ABSTAIN: Hornbuckle I Item 11 was removed from the Agenda by the City Manager because the truck has been sold: Request to waive bidding requirements, and request to purchase a' used three -axle dump truck from Carmenita Truck Center, 13443 East Freeway Drive, Santa Fe Springs. The City. Clerk announced that this was the time and place set for the public hearing to consider an ordinance amending Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code to bring it into compliance with the recently adopted 1990 General Plan. The Affidavit of Publication is on file in the City Clerk's. office. No communications were received. The Deputy City Manager/Development Services reported that the ordinance merely updates the zoning code to maintain consistency with the 1990 General Plan. He noted that Pages 2A and 3A of the Agenda Report dated June 25, 1992, contain the proposed Code amendments. Vice Mayor Genis referenced Page 14 of the proposed ordinance which indicates that , the base density for the North Costa Mesa residential area shall; be 25 dwelling units per acre for projects meeting minimum development standards, and suggested adding language relating to State -required density bonuses. Senior Planner Alice Angus reported that in approximately September or October, 1991, Council adopted a density bonus ordinance which states that a density bonus shall be granted only up to the point that it does not exceed the General Plan density designation. She stated that in accordance with that, ordinance, the density could not exceed 35 dwelling units per acre, including any bonus units, in the North Costa Mesa zone; likewise, in an R3 zone, density could, not exceed 20 units per acre which corresponds with the land use designation of High Density Residential. Additional discussion ensued regarding the criteria required to obtain a density of 35 units per acre. The Senior Planner stated that she could bring a copy of the minutes of the meeting at which'the density bonus ordinance was discussed for review at the next Council meeting on July 20, 1992. There being no speakers, the Mayor closed the public hearing. MOTION ! A motion was made by Vice Mayor Genis, seconded by Council Ordinance 92-13 Member Erickson, to give first reading to Ordinance 92-13, AN Given First Reading ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 13 OF THE COSTA MESA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING RESI- DENTIAL DENSITIES AND NONRESIDENTIAL INTENSITIES AND TRIP BUDGETS, with the exception of further investigation of the density bonus section, perhaps a review of the minutes; change "may" to "shall" in the following sections: Page 8, Ordinance Section 12,Municipal Code Section 13-187, Subsection 2; Page 9, Ordinance Section 13, Municipal Code Section 13-199, Subsection 2; Page 10, Ordinance Section 14, Municipal Code Section 13-210, Subsection 2; and Page 10, Ordinance Section 15, Municipal Code Section. 13-230, Subsection 2; and on Page 16, delete "(1) The. Planned development incorporates a relatively high density of development and other design characteristics which reflect an urban design concept". The 'motion carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: ` Hornbuckle, Genis, Humphrey, Erickson NOES: None ABSENT: ' Buffa OLD BUSINESS The City Clerk presented Ordinance 92-12 for second reading and Permits for Use of adoption. The 'ordinance relates to permits for use of public parks. Public Parks The City Attorney referred to a question asked by Vice Mayor Genis regarding a recent court case about fees that could be charged to defray the cost of the permit, and reported that after reviewing Forsyth County v:, Nationalist Movement, it was his opinion that the case does not impact this particular ordinance. Council Member Humphrey commented that Section 12-53(a) states that an organization with 10 or more members must obtain a permit; how- ever, it does not take into . account that an organization may have only 4 members but 200 people are invited. The City Attorney recommended adding "or attendees" after the phrase "having ten (10) or more members". Responding to the Vice Mayor's question, the City Attorney stated that, the ordinance does not contain restrictions relative to sections of the parks which may be used for certain activities; however, permit restrictions could be added if Council so desired. At the request; of Council Member Humphrey, Section 2(b) was amended to read "The Director of Community Services shall issue permits ... " : ("may refuse to" was deleted). Nancy Palme, 1997 Kornat Drive, Costa Mesa, representing the Mesa Verde Homeowners Association, asked if Costa Mesa residents could be given priority for use of the parks. She also mentioned that there is a problem with tour buses parking at Balearic Center. The City Attorney responded that he would investigate the matter of the tour buses. The City Manager reported that the Recreation Division does give Costa Mesa residents priority reservations on a first come, first served basis. Yolanda Davila, no address given, claimed that statistics indicate a 500 percent increase in child rape; therefore, she was interested in child safety at the parks. She felt that enforcement of park policy was inadequate, and asked if this ordinance would prevent illegal activities in City parks. Mayor Hornbuckle recommended that Ms. Davila consult with the City, Manager and Community Services Director and submit specific comments to them. Wendy Leece, 1107 Valley Circle, Costa Mesa, was concerned with the possibility of again allowing "photo days" at TeWinkle Park and stated that if this activity is permitted, there should be close monitoring by staff. John Feeney, 1154 Dorset Lane, Costa Mesa, commented that he had seen the photos taken at the park, and under those circumstances, he would not take his grandchildren to that park. He asked if the ordinance or policy resolves this situation, if permits could be obtained for photo shoots, and if the police could do a background check on those involved in these types of activities. MOTION A motion was made, by Council Member Erickson, seconded by Ordinance 92-12 Council Member Humphrey, to give second reading and adopt Adopted Ordinance 92-12, AN. ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 12-53 OF THE COSTA MESA MUNICIPAL CODE j RELATING TO PERMITS FOR THE USE OF PUBLIC PARKS, including the following amendments: in Section 12-53(a), third line, change to "having ten (10) or more members or attendees"; in j Section 12-53(b), first line, 'delete "may refuse to". Council Member Erickson mentioned that Council wants a policy which will reduce violence to women and children and the Community Services Director has been made aware of that. Responding to a question from Council Member Erickson on the appeal process, the City Attorney reported that the ordinance provides for appeal by any interested party or Council Member .within seven days of the decision. Council Member Erickson requested that Council be notified of permits issued for photo shoots or similar activities. Mayor Hornbuckle suggested that the Community Services Director be notified of Council's request. The motion to adopt the ordinance carried by the following roll call vote: ! AYES: .

The Public Services Director recom- Victoria Street, mended awarding the contract to the second lowest bidder because Project V-92-01 of the low bidder's failure to comply with the project requirements. He reported that the bid bond from the low bidder would be used to make up the difference in cost. MOTION i On motion by Council Member Erickson, seconded by Council Awarded to Environ- j Member Humphrey, 'the contract was awarded to Environmental mental Control 1 Control Systems, Incorporated, 29160 Goetz Road, Quail Valley, for Systems $7,200.00. The motion carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Hornbuckle, Genis, Humphrey, Erickson NOES: None ABSENT: Buffa OLD BUSINESS The City Clerk presented from the meeting of June 15, 1992, a Lease Agreement Lease Agreement with Someone Cares Soup Kitchen for use of the with Someone Cares 1 kitchen and a small office at Rea Community Center at a rate of Soup Kitchen $125.00 per month. The original request was for use of the Multi- purpose Room and kitchen at $356.00 per month. Communications in opposition to the lease were received from Costa Mesa residents/property owners: Linda M. Cichowski, 648 Cove Street; Philip P. Morello, owner of property at 2020 Wallace Avenue; Linda and Michael Stobbe, owners of property at 2058 Wallace Avenue; Bob Barnett, 2090 Meyer Place; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lindeman, Jr., owner, of property at 2073 Wallace Avenue; Richard and Virginia Durkee, ' owners of property at 1925 Wallace Avenue; and Henry Plascencia, 1950 Wallace Avenue. The City Manager reported that since the last Council meeting, the applicant is no longer requesting relocation of the entire program to Rea Community Center since the Soup Kitchen will be using the facilities at the Methodist Church on West 19th Street to serve food. He stated that their only need is for use of the kitchen and small office at Rea Community Center. In regard to the lease, the Mayor stated, that it would be for a six-month period, July 7 through December 31, 1992; "at which time annual review of all leases for the Center will be reviewed. MOTION On motion by Council Member Humphrey, seconded by Council Lease Approved Member Erickson, the .amended lease for use of the kitchen and a small office at a rate of $125.00 was approved by the following roll call_ vote: - AYES: Hornbuckle, ,Gens, Humphrey, Erickson NOES: None ABSENT: Buffa RECESS The .Mayor declared a. recess at 8:35 p.m., and reconvened the meeting at 8:50 p.m. OLD BUSINESS The City Clerk presented from the meeting of June 1, 1992, the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space MasterPlan. The City Manager Parks, Recreation, reported that at the last Council meeting, there were inquiries from and Open Space the Parks, Recreational Facilities and Parkways Commission, as well Master Plan as from the Planning Commission; - therefore, this matter was again reviewed by both commissions for additional comments. He stated that not all questions raised 30 days ago have been resolved, in fact, more issues may have been raised.. The City Manager referred to two recommendations contained in staff s Agenda Report dated July 2, 1992: Schedule a public workshop conducted by staff and two members from the Planning Commission, two from the Parks, Recreation Facilities and Parkways Commission, and two from City Council, to review various aspects of the Plan, and come back to Council with a recommendation; and the other recommendation was to direct staff to schedule the Master Plan for formal consideration or policy direction in terms of significant trends and options which Council wants to utilize in the Plan. Responding to a question from the Mayor on the Master Plan conforming to the General Plan, the Deputy City Manager/Development Services reported that the Master Plan now being considered is nothing more than a plan of park facilities; it is not a General Plan Element. He anticipated that after Council adopts a final Parks Master Plan, the Planning staff will then format it as a General Plan Element, appropriate public hearings will be held, and the document will be incorporated into the General Plan. Vice Mayor Genis asked about the number of new residential units proposed east of Bristol Street in North Costa Mesa on the Sakioka and Home Ranch sites. The Deputy 'City Manager estimated that east of Bristol and north of the 405 Freeway, there would be approx- imately 1,200 to 1,500 units on the Sakioka property depending upon ultimate build -out; approximately, 300 units on the Home Ranch site; and on the Arnel property, a few hundred units. She was concerned with having adequate park land in relationship to the number of future residents in that area, and requested that the consultants address that issue. Malcolm Ross, C. J. Segerstrom and Sons, 3315 Fairview Road, Costa Mesa, clarified that Home Ranch contains two parcels: 40 acres north of South Coast Drive, which is the section being discussed; and 60 acres south of South Coast Drive. He stated that at medium density, approximately 327 to 350 units could be built. I ' Vice Mayor Genis asked if anyone looked at the vacant parcel adjacent to Fairview Hospital on Harbor Boulevard, small parcels along the flood control channel, marginal commercial areas, or the tear -downs on the East Side. She was disappointed because there was no mechanism to look for new available sites. The City j Manager responded that staff has compiled a list of vacant parcels which will be made available to Council. He suggested that Council tell staff what their. expectations are; then staff could proceed accordingly and match it with the General Plan. The Vice Mayor asked if it would be possible to develop multi -use fields; suggested looking for smaller areas large enough for one playing field; investigate the potential for land swaps, for example, the parcel at Newport Boulevard and 17th Street; suggested that the property adjacent to. Gisler Park, nowbeing used by a utility company, may be a potential available site, as well as the property next to the railroad ,tracks near Wickes Furniture. Finally, she asked why the golf course was not included with the park acreage for the existing park ratio. Dick Mehren, 1824 Kinglet Court, Costa Mesa, member of the Parks, Recreation Facilities and Parkway Commission and the Fairview Park Committee, was concerned that the Parks Master Plan lacks viable options in that it merely says that if the City does not negotiate a satisfactory relationship with the Newport -Mesa Unified School District for joint use of the fields, everything will end up at Fairview Park. He ,felt the Plan fails to address a major factor which is to purchase additional park land, and stated that this bias was passed on by Community Services to the consultant by saying that the City cannot ; afford to purchase land at its present price. Council Member Erickson commended Mr. Mehren on suggesting possible use of the rear portion of the Harbor Shopping Center property. Responding to Council Member Erickson's inquiry on a joint use agreement, using Estancia High School, Parsons School, and part of the high area of the bluffs for an active recreational site, Mr. Mehren felt that there should be some athletic facilities there, not 40 or 50 acres, but of a size that would not impact the overall effect of the park. Tony Petros, representing Sakioka Farms, 14850 Sunflower Avenue, Santa Ana, was sorry that he had to wait a month to get to this point. It was his understanding at the Planning Commission meeting that there was a 30 -day continuance in which there would be the opportunity for him, Mr. Sakioka, and anyone involved in the discussion to meet with the Planning Commission, Community Services Department; and the consultant, to hopefully come to Council and announce that a Master Plan had been worked out which is acceptable to everyone. Mr. Petros stated that Sakioka was represented at all commission and Council meetings, and within a week after the Planning Commission meeting, he submitted a five- page letter on some of the major issues. Mr. Petros reported that he has made many calls to the departments involved to try to set up a meeting, and his calls were not returned. He commented that he supports this type of proactive planning; however, he felt it was important that. the City provide a plan in a fiscally, environmentally, and socially responsible format. Mr. Petros contended that there are major inconsistencies between the Parks Master Plan and the General Plan which must be addressed, and briefly mentioned some of the issues raised' in his letter and to which staff has not responded. In addition, Mr. Petros mentioned the need to follow California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. The City Manager apologized to Mr.. Petros for his calls not having been returned and advised him that staff will be responding to the points made in his letter. The Mayor asked the City Attorney to investi- gate the CEQA requirements. Vice Mayor Genis commented that the Master Plan had a subtle slant towards heavier ' use . of Fairview Park because of the unavailability of funds, and did not believe that viewpoint was appropriate. She stated that the cost of utility construction at Fairview Park e has not been addressed. The Vice Mayor was surprised to see a recreation building and- gym at Fairview Park and wondered how that came to be. She asked about the use of the gym at the Downtown Community Center, and stated that if it is heavily used, perhaps another gym site should. be found. Vice Mayor Genis asked for comments from Council on several issues to be passed on to the consultant::i'whether or not to include the golf course acreage in the population -per -acre standard; whether Council wants to look at land dedication on some of the major vacant sites, or in -lieu fees; the feeling about Fairview Park; whether the linear open space on Victoria Street is really a viable recreation area; and input on private volunteer efforts on the bike trails and for the parks in general as far as encouraging private dedication and private volunteers. Council Member Erickson had no ,problem with including the golf course as park space as long as it' did not detract from Council's goals. He felt that park dedication would be required, especially north of the 405 Freeway. As to Fairview Park, he did not envision the entire bluff top being developed as'.an active recreational site, but in conjunction with Parsons School and Estancia High School, he believed it would bean opportunity -to have a convenient park for the west side and. Mesa Verde areas. Council Member Erickson commented that all areas of the City should have adequate athletic facilities and felt that an agreement with the School District would work. As to the linear open space on Victoria Street, Council Member Erickson strongly objected to that area being counted as park space. Council Member Humphrey had several concerns: there are no alternatives to the City/School District joint powers agreement; there are no specific site locations addressed as to where people fit and where they seem to be; no one has explained the omission of the golf course from park space acreage; and swapping land sites has not been addressed. He wanted to make sure that the concerns of all parts of the community are heard clearly. Vice Mayor Genis suggested exploring..density transfers or at least providing a mechanism to utilize density transfers to provide more open space if a property owner wished to pursue that route. Mayor..Hornbuckle responded to . the issues raised by the Vice Mayor: agreed that the golf course should be included as a recreational facility since it fulfills the recreational needs of a large portion of the -community, and should be included in calculation of the amount of acreage needed; the linear open space on Victoria Street is a good idea for providing open space, but probably not for recreational space; in regard to Fairview Park, address the issue of lights impacting homeowners, including those residents on the south end of the park; agreed with the possibility of a joint use with Parsons School and Estancia High School since it would save the City a considerable amount of money and also provide a better 4 j I i facility for the schools to use. Mayor Hornbuckle's preference was to obtain a joint powers agreement with the School District for use of their facilities, and commented that this is not a new idea since it is done in many other communities, such as the City of Irvine. She stated that the greatest advantage to the City is that it provides neighborhood parks,, bit if a joint powers agreement were not possible at this time, alternatives should be in place. i The City Manager commented on one other item which was not discussed: staff s advisement to the consultant relating to Council's financial priorities, that is, no new taxes, no tax increases, not using City reserves, nor raising alternative means of revenue. He stated that in reviewing the fiscal priorities set by Council, there was not much room for recommending new ways of acquiring property. He stated that if the financial issues were set aside for the time being, more creativity could be included. Mayor Hornbuckle responded that as far as she was concerned, she wanted to see a document that would set out an ideal plan, then back down from there depending on the City's financial status. She mentioned that the financial status of the City changes from year to year and the City probably will not be operating under these conditions five years from now. Council Member Erickson stated that since the golf course has been privatized, he expected using some of that revenue for the parks system. Vice Mayor Genis reported that there are a number of private schools, some of which have fairly substantial sites, and she would like to see some mechanism to obtain those sites should any of those schools become available. In addition, she mentioned that there has been some talk about closing Whittier School, so if that should become available, that should become a priority item for acquisition. She suggested investigating use of County, sites which are within the City's sphere oto serve as parks for the east side. i In response to an inquiry from the Vice Mayor, the Deputy City Manager/Development Services reported that the Master Plan was not processed as a General Plan Amendment as yet, knowing that this document would be subject to so many changes. He stated that the final draft of the Parks Master Plan will be environmentally analyzed and then processed as a true element of the General Plan. He emphasized that this is the City's first Master Plan of Parks, and the best way to proceed is to wait until a final draft has been approved before adding it to the General Plan. I During discussion on having the consultant make a presentation to Council, the City Manager reported that the consultant has been provided tapes of previous discussions and will be given a tape of this meeting; therefore, the consultant should be able to give a full presentation at the next Council meeting, addressing all questions which have been raised. MOTION Vice Mayor Genis made a motion, seconded by Council Member Hearing Set for Humphrey, directing staff to schedule a presentation by the July 20, 1992 consultant at the meeting of July. 20, 1992. Council Member j Humphrey's concern was that the development community's comments have not. been addressed. Mayor Hornbuckle stated that the City Manager has made note of that and will relay it to staff. Tony Petros asked if action will be taken at the next meeting. The City Manager responded affirmatively and announced that notices will be sent to allparties involved in the process. Mayor Hornbuckle called for a vote on the motion to schedule the public hearing on July 20. The motion carried 4-0. OLD BUSINESS Mayor Hornbuckle announced that the next item, request for Golf Course rehearing on the decision for operation of the Costa Mesa Golf Rehearing Trailed Course, would be. trailed until after closed session. NEW BUSINESS The City Clerk presented a request for modification of Planning PA -88-144 Action PA -88=144, a Planned Development for the 21 -story, 288 - South Coast Plaza foot high Plaza Tower, for Malcolm Ross, authorized agent for South Coast Plaza, 3315 Fairview Road, Costa Mesa, to delete Code or Ordinance Provision No.' 35, requiring dedication of a right -turn pocket on Avenue of the Arts; and a request to abandon an easement on Avenue of the Arts. The Public Services Director reported that since adoption of the 1990 General Plan, an easement for southbound Avenue of the Arts traffic making a right turn onto Anton Boulevard, is no longer needed because new traffic figures indicate that the movement is no longer significants,`_.. He stated that the Planning Commission recommended deleting the requirement for a right -turn pocket and accompanying right-of-way. MOTION On motion by Council Member Humphrey, seconded by Council Deleted Right -turn Member Erickson, and carried 4-0, the requirement for a Pocket southbound right -turn pocket on Avenue of the Arts at Anton Boule- vard was deleted. MOTION On motion by Council Member Humphrey, seconded by Council Resolution 92-72 Member Erickson, Resolution 92-72, A RESOLUTION OF THE Adopted CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, SUMMARILY VACATING AN EXCESS RIGHT- OF-WAY LOCATED ' ON AVENUE OF THE ARTS, COSTA MESA, was adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Hornbuckle, Gems, Humphrey, Erickson NOES: None ABSENT: Buffa NEW BUSINESS The City Clerk presented a request to close a portion of Magnolia Closure on Street at Vehicle Parking District No. 1. A letter was received from Magnolia Street Jane Lindstrom, owner of property at' 12.0 East 18th Street, stating that a partial closure of Magnolia Street would hurt the merchants more than it would help the residents. A petition containing signatures of 19 residents on Fullerton Avenue and Magnolia Street favored placement of a wall at the west end of Magnolia Street. The Public Services Director summarized the Agenda Report dated June 29, 1992, which provides background data for the project and proposed improvements: reconstruct damaged pavement areas; modify parking and traffic circulation allowing one-way access into the parking lot from 18th Street; provide two accesses (one-way in, and. -one-way out) from Broadway; eliminate vehicle access from the alley parallel to and north of Magnolia Street; install an 8 -foot high wall; install landscaping and irrigation improvements along the easterly property boundary adjacent to the proposed wall; provide for enhanced lighting facilities; slurry seal the Vehicle Parking District parking lot and five adjoining privately owned lots; and restripe parking stalls which would increase parking spaces from 79 to 104. The Public Services Director stated that the major element of the plan is closure of Magnolia Street to restrict any vehicular or pedestrian access to and from the parking lot from the neighboring residential areas; however, the Transportation Commission recommended that a physical barrier not be installed at the end of L� Magnolia Street. He also reported that the cost for the project is $115,000.00 which would be taken from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), funds. Responding to a question from Vice Mayor Gerais regarding on-going maintenance, the Public Services Director stated that; if the project were approved, staff could negotiate with property owners in an attempt to develop a maintenance district. Joseph Newberry, owner of a business at 1804 Newport Boulevard, Costa Mesa, was opposed to constructing the wall, asserting that it would create more maintenance problems rather than solve them. In regard to participation in a maintenance district, he reported that he maintains his own lot. John Ryan, 129 Broadway, Costa Mesa, suggested installing a temporary wall to see if the plan will work. He felt that the residents on Magnolia Street would be the only beneficiaries of the plan, and residents on Broadway would be negatively impacted. J. C. Humphries, 1835 Newport Boulevard, Costa Mesa, stated that as a property owner in that area, he would be happy to participate in maintaining the site. He opposed closing Magnolia. Street and construction of a wall because it merely would shift the problem from one place to another, and felt that the plan would be detrimental to the merchants on Newport Boulevard. Mr. V. Gailey, 129 Broadway, Costa Mesa, contended that the proposed closure on Magnolia Street would ruin the businesses, and spoke about the poor condition of the parking lot. Alvin Pinkley, 1833 Fullerton Avenue, Costa Mesa, opposed the project and suggested that the money be used elsewhere. Bob Hoffman, 360 East 19th Street, Costa Mesa, representing the East Side Homeowners Association, agreed with Mr. Ryan's suggestion of having a temporary wall for approximately 90 days to determine whether or not the plan will work satisfactorily. Richard Sewell, 136 Rochester Street, Costa Mesa, claimed many of the problems are caused by the Goat Hill Tavern. He agreed with having a one-way at 18th Street entering the parking lot, and suggested placing a two-lane exit in the middle of the parking lot, not next to the flower shop. In addition, he recom-mended having the alley which leads to Fullerton Avenue blocked off at the parking lot. Mr. Sewell was willing to pay his share for maintenance of the parking lot. Mr. Sewell spoke again to report that hiring security guards to protect his property in San Diego has helped considerably. He also suggested using a gate which could be closed at night and left open during the day. Valerie Gailey, 129 Broadway, Costa Mesa, was opposed to construction of the wall, and predicted that if a wall were installed, it probably would be filled with graffiti in a very short time. Peter Maxson, Omar's Custom Picture Frame and Gallery, 1812 Newport Boulevard, Costa Mesa, commented that the Transportation Commission was against this plan, and it was his opinion that the wall would only benefit Goat Hill Tavern, not help traffic circu- lation. The second time Mr. Maxson spoke, he commented .that a wall would merely shift the problem from one area to another. Fred Jansson, � 1800 Newport Boulevard, 'Costa Mesa, agreed with most comments made in opposition to the wall. He claimed that lack of enforcement of existing laws is the problem. During his second time at the. podium, Mr. Jansson commented that an eight - foot wall would not help people living on the second story. Fred Whittaker, 1816 Fullerton Avenue, Costa Mesa, wanted the wall built because of the drunk driving incidents which have occurred in the neighborhood, and because of the United Parcel and beer trucks using that parking lot. He recommended limiting the weight of trucks on Magnolia Street. Mary Whittaker, 1816 Fullerton Avenue, Costa Mesa, also spoke in support of erecting the wall. MOTION A motion was made by Council Member Erickson, seconded by Referred Back to- Council Member-'' :- .Humphrey, to uphold the Transportation Transportation Commission's decision not to erect a wall on Magnolia Street, and Commission to refer this item back to the Commission to consider alternative circulation patterns which shall be provided by staff; to direct staff to place signs on Magnolia Street regarding truck weight limitations; and to ask merchants to come back with a plan for maintenance of the parking lot. Mayor Hornbuckle stated that she would not support the -motion because she felt this was an issue started in 1989 at which time fences were to be installed to separate the parking area from the residences, etc., and she felt this has been going on much too long. The motion carried 3-1, Mayor Hornbuckle voting no. The City Manager mentioned that there are issues outside the scope of the Transportation Commission, and suggested coordinating a meeting with interested residents and business people, and the Transportation Commission, to see if a more multi -faceted approach could be developed. With the consent of Council, the Mayor directed the City Manager to proceed. Council Member Humphrey commented that the idea of a gate seemed like a workable solution; however, a commitment would be needed from someone to open and close the gate. The City Manager 'addressed the issue of specific problems on Friday and Saturday evenings, and suggested that there is a: means whereby a contract could 'be drawn up with the entity causing the demand, similar to the Pacific Amphitheatre and Fairgrounds, to provide necessary personnel to patrol that area. NEW BUSINESS The City Clerk presented Council Policy No. 500-6, street banners Council Policy 500-6, for special events. The City Manager reviewed his Agenda Report Street Banners dated June 25, 1992, which details the method by which banners would be approved and addresses key points with which Council expressed some concerns, such as, placement, length of time the banners would be in the public right-of-way, and who could place such banners for special events. Mayor Hornbuckle noted that only Costa Mesa -based charitable, nonprofit organizations are eligible to place banners; however, she suggested including other public agencies, specifically referring to the banners which are now in place for the Orange County Fair. The City Manager stated that this addition should be spelled out in the policy. Vice Mayor Genis requested that the policy include a stipulation for review of the content of the banners, and that the banners shall not be similar to traffic signs. The City Attorney reported that the latter issue is covered in the California Vehicle Code, and confirmed that Council could control some of the content; however, this policy does not address content, it simply says that the `3 1-A,4 4 i City would like to see the content of the banner when the request is 'submitted. MOTION !A motion was made by Council Member Humphrey, seconded by Amended Policy ; Vice Mayor Genis, and carried 4-0, approving the policy with the Approved !addition of allowing other public agencies to place special event !banners, and requesting an amendment to the Sign Ordinance.

OLD BUSINESS ;The City Clerk presented an Old Business item which was trailed Request for Rehearing ; from earlier in the meeting: a request for rehearing on operation of from Environmental the Costa Mesa Golf Course and Country Club from Environmental Care for Operation of Care, Incorporated, 24121 Ventura Boulevard, Calabasas. The City Golf Course Manager advised Council that the issue to be decided is whether to grant a rehearing, that is, if sufficient grounds are presented by the appellant to reopen the entire issue. The City Attorney confirmed that if Council were to find that there is new information which was not available at the last hearing, a public hearing should' be set for the next meeting on July 20, 1992. Gene Gianulli, representing the appellant, Environmental Care, �. Incorporated, stated that at the last meeting, he made a request to be ! part of the negotiations, but Council ignored the request and elected to go with Mesa Verde Partners. He felt there may have been some issues which the Review Committee should have passed on to Council. Mr. Gianulli commented that he merely wanted to let Council know that Environmental Care can offer more than the other companies, and felt he was not given that opportunity. He spoke about the many amenities his company had to offer, especially in regard to maintenance, as well as the expertise of the Arnold Palmer i 1 F "'1375 Management Company. Mayor Hornbuckle responded that Council was prepared at the previous meeting to hear whatever he had to say, and she recalled, that there were a number of questions he declined to answer., Vice Mayor Genis felt that the appellant did not meet the requirements of the Municipal Code for granting a rehearing. MOTION A motion was made by Vice Mayor Genis, seconded by Council Rehearing Denied Member Humphrey, to deny the request for a rehearing. Council Member Erickson could not support Environmental Care, but he did feel there was additional information in regard to the Arnold Palmer Management Company; however, it was not in the proposal. He mentioned that there will be another closed session on July 13, 1992, to discuss contract negotiations with Mesa Verde Partners; therefore, this is not a closed issue as yet.. The motion to deny the request carried 4-0. COUNCIL Council Member Humphrey was tired of seeing all the remaining COMMENTS campaign signs throughout the City:_ He -wanted to know if there were some way staff could. remove the sighs and send them back to Campaign Signs the candidate with a bill. The City Attorney reported that the City has an ordinance regulating removal, -of the signs and it would be appropriate for staff to proceed. Air Quality Reclaim Vice Mayor Genis announced that the long awaited reclaim program Program on air quality will be heard by the Air Quality Management District (AQMD) on Friday morning, July 10, 1992. Fireworks Vice Mayor Genis expressed her disappointment that the fireworks restrictions imposed by the City last year were completely ignored during the July 4, 1992, holiday. Based on that which she observed, Vice Mayor Genis was considering supporting a total .ban on fireworks. Commission Vice Mayor Genis noticed that in the Planning Commission and Absenteeism Transportation Commission minutes, there are indications of a lot of absenteeism, and she wanted to send a message that the commissioners are expected to show up for their meetings. She commented that the commissioners ' who have been serving the longest seem to have the best attendance records and complimented them for that. Conflict of Interest Vice Mayor Genis referred to City Attorney Opinion No. 92-10, Code Conflict of Interest, which stated that if Council had wanted to apply the Conflict of Interest Ordinance to Congressional elections, the ordinance could have been changed accordingly; but it was her understanding that the ordinance applied to all elections. The Vice Mayor suggested that if the City is not preempted by Federal law, she would like to see the Council pursue implementation of amendments to the City's Conflict of Interest Code to include all elections. Orange County Fair; Mayor Hornbuckle announced that the Orange County Fair starts on Workers' Compensa- July 10, 1992, and that she will be representing the City on the tion Symposium "Today" television show featuring the 100th anniversary of the fair.
