A motion was made by Council Member Buffa, seconded by Council
Member Humphrey, and carried 5-0, to read all ordinances by title
only.
Carey Ward, 126 East 19th Street, Costa Mesa, asserted that the
City Council has been using the reserve account to balance the City
Budget. It was his understanding that reserve funds have been
reduced from $32 million to $14.7 million, and contended that the
problem seems to be the high cost of salaries which he estimated to
be over 70 percent of the operating budget. The City Manager
agreed that costs must be reduced, and reported that 50 percent of
the budget is for public safety, such as police and fire. Vice Mayor
Genis commented that when she became a Council Member four
years ago, she believed the reserve was only $10 or $11 million, and
could not recollect that the account had ever been as high as $32
million. The City Manager confirmed that it had never been that
high. He explained that a certain dollar amount is taken from each
year's revenues and placed in the reserve account, and that this
money can only be used for extreme emergencies.
I
Bil Garvin, 1092 San Pablo Circle, Costa Mesa, referred to several
issues discussed at the last Council meeting regarding access far the
handicapped detailed on Page 11 of the minutes for October`: -19,
1992, and felt they had not been adequately addressed: :re -moving
the barrier which blocks the ramp at 19th Street/Newport. Boulevard;
contract with the MacIntosh Center; and an explartadon of a letter
from Rick Pickering, Assistant to the City Manager, regarding the
1
J
City Hall building being in compliance with Federal standards. He
asked for any information available regarding the Macintosh agree-
ment. Mr. Garvin stated that the Attorney General is in Costa Mesa
because he could find no other way to have City Hall brought up to
applicable standards. Council Member Humphrey reported that Mr.
Garvin gave him a copy of an Access Survey Form . which he
received in Sacramento, and gave it to the Deputy City
Manager/Development Services for use in evaluating City buildings.
Business Burglaries Greg Scafferty, owner of 'A-1 Glass Door Window and Mirror
Company, 2204 Newport Boulevard, Costa Mesa, thanked the
Deputy City Manager/Development Services for his assistance
relating to three burglaries at his place of business.
Soffer Comments Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, commented on several
issues: (1) The City's sponsoring the "Shop Costa Mesa" program,
but purchasing its police vehicles outside the City because the law
mandates that the City must purchase from the lowest responsible
bidder, and asserting that, to the contrary, the City failed to follow
the law requiring it to sell items to the highest bidder; (2) Mr.
Garvin's having to constantly pursue the issue of adequate access for
the handicapped; (3) basing parking requirements on the trip ends
generated by a business; (4) the City's losing building permit files;
(5) the restaurant and sign ordinances being anti -business; and (6) a
claim that the City is spending more money than it receives. The
City Manager refuted Mr. Soffer's claim that the City does not
operate within its budget.

City of Costa Mesa R-92-069 City of Costa Mesa, to rezone sites within Planning Area
No. 4 to be consistent with the 1990 General Plan. Environmental
Determination: Environmental Impact Report No. 1044 adopted for
the 1990 General Plan.
Price Shapiro, 338 Ogle Street, Costa Mesa, representing the Mesa
del Mar Apartment Owners Association, spoke in opposition to the
request, claiming that the rezone would reduce apartment property
values by 25 percent. In response to a question from Vice Mayor
Genis, Mr. Shapiro stated that the general location of the apartment
properties are on Valencia Street, Mission Drive, El Camino Drive,
La Salle Avenue, and Mendoza Drive.
Mayor Hornbuckle reported that there is some interest on the
Council to refer this item back to the Planning Commission for
reconsideration because some Council Members have concerns about
a few of the changes.
Vice Mayor Genis was concerned with Sites A and IL She noted
that Site A is proposed to be rezoned R1, yet there are condominium
developments in that area. She felt the Planned Development (PD)
zone would be more -appropriate. In regard to Site H, the Vice
Mayor commented that the site contains an office complex at El
Camino and Mendoza Drives and she did not believe Council
intended to rezone this property to residential. She felt the intent
was to ensure that the existing use did not become more intense.
Vice Mayor Genis suggested a clean-up amendment to the General
Plan for Site II.
Carey Ward, 126 East 19th Street, Costa Mesa, spoke against the
proposal to down -zone apartment sites, and commented that the 1990
General Plan greatly reduces the value of these properties.
Roy Pizarek, 1923 Whittier Avenue, Costa Mesa, commented that
the citizens of Costa Mesa had two years to provide input for the
General Plan, and most residents were in favor of stopping high
density development.
MOTION/Referred A motion was made by Council Member Humphrey, seconded by
Back to Planning Council Member Erickson, to refer this item back to the Planning
Commission Commission for further changes, and to be brought back to Council
for a public hearing to be held at a future date. At the

Gave Instructions instruction to the Planning Commission to make recommendations
to the Planning to Council, not completely based on the General Plan, but based on

concerns about Site A. The amended motion was seconded by
Council Member Erickson, and carried 5-0.

Pope Family Trust representing Rosemary Siler, 13571 Cloudesly Drive, San Diego,
appealing the Planning Commission's approval of Planning Action
PA -92-56, Redevelopment Action RA -92-10, Linda Horton,
authorized agent for Pope Family Trust, 4201 Long Beach
Boulevard, No. 306, Long Beach, for Conditional Use Permits for
a restaurant with seating for more than 12 in a commercial building

residential zone; and deviation from shared parking requirements,
for property at 145 East 19th Street, Suite B-4, in a CL -P zone.
Environmental Determination: Exempt.
The Deputy City Manager/Development Services summarized the
Agenda Report dated October 22, 1992, and showed the site plan on
the overhead screen. He indicated the parking spaces to be used by
the restaurant, and explained that the center of the parking lot is
jointly owned by the Mesa Theater owner, Rosemary Siler, and the
shopping center owner, Pope Family Trust. The Deputy City
Manager stated that the disagreement regarding the parking lot is a
civil matter and the City cannot intervene.
Paul Barba, representing Rosemary Siler, reported that the Pope
Family indicated that the restaurant will be in existence only until
December 31, 1993; however; he felt an agreement should be
required between Siler, Pope, and the tenant, in which Pope and the
tenant waive any right to extending the Conditional Use Permit
beyond the aforementioned date so that ongoing negotiations for sale
of the property by Ms. Siler will not be jeopardized.
Patrick Walsh, 5 Park Plaza, Suite 800, Irvine, representing the
Pope Family Trust, commented that the parking issues were fully
and thoroughly aired at the Planning Commission meeting; therefore,
there is no basis for the appeal. He stated that the Conditions of
Approval for the Conditional Use Permit require more parking by
restriping the lot; therefore, the increased use will be matched by
increased parking spaces. In conclusion, Mr. Walsh pointed out that
his client is merely requesting this use until the end of 1993 as
shown in the Conditional Use Permit.

Jody Campbell, 337 Ramona Place, Costa Mesa, representing
Rushco Enterprises, owner and operator of Harbor Towing,
commended City staff for working with the towing companies in
resolving some issues in the ordinance that were a concern.
Robert Eger, owner of Doctor Tow and Automotive Services, 114
East 16th Street, Costa Mesa, addressed an insurance requirement
in Section 9-282 of the ordinance which states that a towing
company's insurance shall be executed by a company duly licensed
under the laws of the State of California to be an insurance business.
Mr. Eger claimed that this requirement would quadruple his
insurance costs and drive him out of business.

provides greater protection to the public and that he was
uncomfortable with allowing off -shore insurance companies to
provide coverage .because there is no recourse for the insured if the
company closes its doors. Police Captain Dave Brooks reported that

licensed companies go out of business.
