whether or not Costa Mesa should be in the business of
offering adult classes when the private sector also offers the
same classes had not been addressed in the criteria or in the
analysis of the Agenda Report. The Community Services
Director stated that the Parks, Recreation Facilities and
Parkways Commission had discussed this issue and
recommended that staff provide Council with an instructional
class selection criteria shown on Attachment 1, Page 4 of
the Agenda Report; however, the Commission agreed that as
long as the criteria. and the minimum participation level had
been met, the class should be offered.
Council Member Cowan stated that the above-mentioned
Attachment 1 does not address the various requests from
Costa Mesa residents as to the specific classes they would
.like the City to offer. She also noted that staff has
determined that no other city has a written policy regarding
the selection of classes; however, this is not addressed as
an alternative and the Agenda Report should explain why no
other city has a written guideline or policy. She felt that
perhaps this, item should be continued so that staff can
respond to several questions she outlined in her
memorandum to the City Manager dated December 16,
1996.

act upon requests .from residents regarding instructional
classes. The Community Services Director outlined the

transfers with or without filing a protest. .

conditions which the City Council places on future ABC
licenses can be brought forward by City Councils in the

Permits being required for those businesses selling alcoholic
beverages. The Deputy City Manager responded

been a problem, it may not be viewed well by ABC.

Screening, land use designation at 2865 Fairview Road from High
Segerstrom Density Residential to' General Commercial. The Deputy City
Manager reviewed 'the Agenda Report dated December 11,
1996.
Council Member Erickson asked what other General Plan
designations would be acceptable on this site that would not
generate high traffic as general commercial. The Deputy
City Manager replied that the appropriate zone for this site
would probably be Planned Development Commercial (PDC),
which is a very restricted zone, possibly Light Industry, or a
vocational school use.
The Deputy City Manager 'responded to a question from
Council Member Cowan by stating that this particular site is
almost too small for a specific plan but a development
agreement would be appropriate. He stated that a
development agreement should be signed prior to second
reading of the ordinance because once the zone change goes
into affect, the property owner has full rights under that
zone.
Paul Freeman, representing C.J. Segerstrom & Sons, 3315
Fairview Road, Costa Mesa, stated that they have had a
:problem in marketing the site and there is also a significant
problem of ground water and soil contamination. He felt that
this site would not be an ideal location for residential
development due to high traffic volume. He reported that
their intent for this site is for a low -impact, nonintrusive use.
Council Member Erickson asked if it would be acceptable for
the restrictions to be recorded on the deed as to the amount
of traffic and the type of use allowable for the site if in the
future, that property is sold to another owner. Mr. Freeman
responded that it would be acceptable.
MOTION. On motion by Mayor Pro Tem Monahan, seconded by
Accepted Appli- Council Member Erickson, the application was accepted for
cation for Over- the overriding reasons discussed by the applicant and
riding Reasons Council, and because this property cannot be sold or
developed as high density residential.
Council 'Member Erickson asked the maker of the motion if
he would consider some of the overriding reasons to which
the applicant has committed, that is, a use that would create
;less traffic than a high density residential development.
'Mayor. Pro Tem Monahan asked Mr. Freeman for clarification.
:Mr. Freeman commented that his intent was to develop a
,low -impact project, so perhaps the appropriate language
would be "not to exceed the traffic that would be permitted
,under the current designation."
AMENDED Council Member Erickson stated that he agreed with Mr.
MOTION/Added Freeman on the language and asked if the maker of the
Overriding Reason motion would incorporate the language into the motion.
Mayor Pro Tem Monahan concurred. The amended motion
was seconded by Council Member Erickson, and carried 5-0.
