2000/12/12ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA- CITY COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 12, 2000
The City Council of the City of Anaheim met in regular session.
PRESENT: Council Members: Frank Feldhaus, Lucille Kring, Tom Tait. Council Member Shirley
McCracken entered the Council Chambers at 3:18 P.M. and Mayor Tom Daly entered at 3:23
P.M.
STAFF PRESENT: City Manager Jim Ruth, City Attorney Jack White, Assistant City Clerk
Cynthia DanieI-Garcia, Community Services Director Chris Jarvi, Parks Superintendent Jack
Kudron.
A copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was posted on December 8,
2000 at the City Hall inside and outside bulletin boards.
Council Member Kring called the regular meeting to order at 3:16 P.M. in the Council Chambers
of the Anaheim City Hall, 200 South Anaheim Boulevard.
WORKSHOP:
City Manager Jim Ruth introduced the Anaheim Hills Golf Course Clubhouse workshop which
was presented by Community Services Director Chris Jarvi.
Community Services Director Jarvi introduced Architect Mark Meltzer and Associate Steve
Decked who presented the plans and current progress on the development of the Anaheim Hills
Golf Course Clubhouse. Director Jarvi explained that several months ago, City Council asked
to see the plan view as well as some of the elevations of the facility. Secondarily, he asked the
City Council to look at increasing the size of the banquet facility from 250 to 350 people. The
architect, Melzer, Decked and Ruder had been working on the plans since the funding had been
approved for architecture and would be making the presentation, he said. The program for this
facility and the actual size of the rooms, was determined by a public participation process that
lasted for a couple of years, he said. The presentation entailed the site plan, floor-plan overall,
the grill and bar banquet components, architectural elevations, an overhead perspective and a
cost estimate, he said. He added that Community Services was asking for direction on the size
of the banquet facility.
Mr. Meltzer and Mr. Deckerr proceeded with the presentation and referred to the workshop
material available in the City Clerk's Office. Mr. Meltzer said that the style of the building was
very early Californian and the detailing of the building would be more contemporary. A cost
comparison was presented for a banquet facility of 250 people and 350 people. The 250-
person banquet facility would cost just under $6.3 million. He added that the 350-person
banquet facility was under 3,000 square feet more in size and total project cost would be about
$6.79 million.
Council Member Kring asked if there was space for a dance floor and a band in the banquet
room of 350 people and Mr. Meltzer stated that they would have a podable dance floor that
could be brought out and would be easily accommodated. He explained that there would be
enough room so that 175 people could be at an event in the room, such as a dance floor, he
said, or a disc jockey.

Council Member Tait asked if staff recommended the 250 or 350-person facility and Parks
Superintendent Jack Kudron said that in the original concept drawing, they proposed a 320
capacity banquet facility based on community input. They only downsized the amount to a 250-
person facility to stay within the budget scope at that time, he said. The community was
interested in a larger banquet facility and Mr. Kudron said that the project would be funded by
golf revenues. He said that he was also looking at both 30 and 20-year bonds.
Council Member Kring commented that if the City had the 350-person banquet, they would bring
in upscale groups, executive groups and she believed that Parks would be able to pay off the
bonded indebtedness.
In response to Mayor Daly, Parks Superintendent Kudron said there could be more than one
event in a day since the rooms could be divided. The City would receive ten percent of the food
and beverage sales to be used to pay the bonded indebtedness, he said, and that would
amount to approximately $100,000 to $200,000 per year. He said that the remaining amount
would be paid by golf revenues/golf profits. Mr. Kudron noted that last February there was a
resident/non-resident structure put in place and more revenue had been generated due to that.
Combined with the privatization of the maintenance, which also provided net revenue back to
the City, he said it would easily cover the $400,000 to $500,000.
Council Member Feldhaus asked if the City could build the 250-person facility and then add on
later. Mr. Meltzer said that it would be possible to add on to the banquet portion, but because of
the kitchen and bathroom facilities, it would be much more expensive. Mr. Kudron said that the
City could bid both the 250 and 350-person banquet room and see what the cost differential
would be.
Mayor Daly requested a breakdown on all the projected revenue sources.
Council Member McCracken asked what the ranges were of the annual bond cost and Mr.
Kudron replied that it would be about $50,000 per year between the two.
Council Member Tait noted that if the Parks Division could show how this building would
generate the money to pay for itself, he would be for the project.
Mayor Daly asked about the difference in square footage between the current clubhouse and
the proposed clubhouse. Mr. Meltzer stated that the current clubhouse was about 12,000
square feet and the proposed 350-person facility would be about 31,000 square feet. There
would be terraces which would also add about 3,000 square feet, he said.
Community Services Director Chris Jarvi asked for Council direction to proceed with the design
and the size of the facility based on the presentation.
Parks Superintendent Kudron said that he could bring to the Council the financial framework
information on the clubhouse within 60-days and a pro-forma.
Mayor Daly suggested that staff continue planning and designing the clubhouse. In the
meantime, Community Services should bring back to the Council the financial data so the
Council could decide on the size of the clubhouse.

In response to Mayor Daly, Superintendent Kudron stated that Community Services managed
the construction in-house on the Downtown Community Center and it was a tremendous
amount of work on the staff. Public Works Contract Administrator's costs were included in the
administrative costs and it was extremely important, particularly with big projects, that the City
have someone representing the City's interests on a day to day basis on the construction site,
said Mr. Kudron. The construction services manager would be bid out.
Council Member McCracken said that she would prefer the large facility but she would like to
have the information that the Mayor had requested so that the Council could make a decision
and Parks could move forward.
City Manager Jim Ruth stated that they would have that information and the pro-forma for the
Council by January 9, 2001.
Mayor Daly asked about a developer processing a plan for a wedding facility in the hills. City
Manager Ruth responded that it was on Santa Ana Canyon Road and that there was public
opposition to it. City Manager Ruth believed that the size was about a 200 to 250 person facility
and that Planning had received some schematics in the past. City Manager Ruth would make
the information available to the Council.
The City Manager concluded the workshop.

recommend to the City Council that the Council consider the adoption of an
interim moratorium on development of the property located at 2951 to 2961 West
Lincoln Avenue for such time as is necessary to develop an environmental
overlay zone to consider the environmental conditions of the property; further,
that the moratorium be considered as a non-urgency item on the basis that there
are a variety of State procedures that serve as a backstop against fast
development of the property. (7 yes votes)
Continued Reclassification No. 2000-00038 to the December 18, 2000 Planning
Commission meeting in order to allow time for the City Council to consider the
adoption of an interim moratorium on development of the property located at
2951 to 2961 West Lincoln Avenue.
Continued from City Council meeting held November 14, 2000, Item B3.
Community Development Director Elisa Stipkovich said, in response to Council Member
Kring, that the developer was no longer considering residential land use for the property.
She said that a study was done and the developer was now looking at commercial uses.
Community Development recommended that the Council refer the item back to the
Planning Commission so that Community Development could work with the developer,
the community and the Planning Commission to do a general plan amendment for
commercial land uses on the site and also look at rezoning. The moratorium on the
property was a request from the Planning Commission to consider rezoning and if
referred back to the Planning Commission, Community Development could work with
them on an alternative land use.
Director Stipkovich noted that Community Development was studying whether there
might be some additional overlay on that property and that there were additional
environmental agencies that had to be involved in the development there. Community
Development recommended a general plan for commercial use there, she said. They
were looking at some open space uses and were trying to identify if the current codes for
open space were applicable or would slight modifications have to be made.
Council Member Kring moved to take no action on the moratorium and refer the entire
matter back to the Planning Commission for additional study, seconded by Council
Member McCracken. Motion carried unanimously.
