Mayor Daly called the Council Meeting of March 12, 1996 to order and welcomed those in attendance to the
Joint Workshop portion of the meeting. He also welcomed the members of the Redevelopment Commission.
Before proceeding, he noted that he received a message earlier in the day from Mayor Pro Tem Lopez that he
will be arriving at the meeting at approximately 3:30 P.M.
Redevelopment Commission Chairman, Robert Linn, called the meeting of the Community Redevelopment
Commission to order, all Commission Members being present with the exception of Commissioner Perreira.
City Manager, James Ruth. This is the scheduled time for a joint workshop with the Community
Redevelopment Commission on downtown Redevelopment. Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community
Development, along with staff members, will bring the Council and Commission up to date on the new
developments in the downtown Redevelopment area as well as the status of the Redevelopment Project as
it stands today.
161: DOWNTOWN ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT: Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community
Development. She will give a brief overview of Project Alpha, the past history of the project and how they have
arrived st where they are today. At the conclusion of her presentation, she will ask for policy direction, discuss
the strategy they have to complete the rest of the project, and also will elaborate on some ofthe issues. She
explained her presentation will be supplemented by slides, hard copies of some of which will be contained in
the booklet presented to the Council/Redevelopment Commission entitled - "What's it All About, Alpha?"
(made a part of the record).
Mm. S'dpkovich's extensive presentation covered the following: How Redevelopment Project Alpha was started
(Redevelopment Agency established in 196'1, Community Redevelopment Commission appointed in 1971,
Redevelopment Project Alpha adopted in 1973), Redevelopment Plan adoption and plan amendment, the
composilJon of Project Alpha (two non-contiguous areas - 200 acres in downtown, 2,366 acres in the Northeast
area, the Anaheim Canyon Business Center), development projects and public improvement projects of the
1970's and 1980's, neighborhood preservation in the 1980's, major development sites, development projects
of the 1990's, new residential development in the 1990% other projects and coming attractions (major
development sites and opportunities). The slide presentation which accompanied the narrative showed the
CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 1996
plans, progression and completed projects of Redevelopment Project Alpha from its start to the present.
Before and after slides of the downtown area were also shown. She also bdefed the investment in the
downtown area to date, both private sector investment and public sector investment as well as the tax increment
history.
The year 2008 is the end of the project although there is the ability to retire debt until 2018. The investment for
the downtown Project Alpha area only will be approximately 800 million dollars over the 45-year period. The
remaining parcais te be redevelopsd are the three 3-acre sites at Lincoln and Harbor and Anaheim Boulevard
and Broadway. There is also one small pamel on Clementine at W. Harbor Place which is a PacBell option
piece.
The balance of the presentation dealt with the issues/opportunities and what staff has been striving for in terms
of the two remaining larger pamels, i.e., movie theaters, Chapman Law School, festival retail/entertainment,
office uses (law, informa'don-based, medical, etc.), Automobile club and visitor information center. She briefed
the activities in process with regard to these uses. She also broached a variety of other issues where the
Agency is directing its efforls to provide a more integrated project. Other issues are the Lincoln and East Street
Ioca~on (north west comer) where there will possibly be a professional office building with historical identity, the
Claudina St]'eet realignment, relocation of the Mother Colony House and Red Cross House, putting an historical
dist~ct in place, etc. A downtown business association is also being investigated. At this point, Mrs. Sfipkovich
asked if there were questions or comments.
Mayor Daly. He congratulated Mrs. S'dpkovich on a fine retrospective of the last 23 years. He invited questions
from the Redevelopment Commissioners as well as Council Members.
Council Member Lopoz. He has been working with Lisa relative to ongoing Redevelopment plans for a year
and is pleased with the results.
Coundl Member Feldhaus stated he was not pleased, and after posing questions relative to building occupancy
and other issues, he expressed his concems relative to the Redevelopment plan. He feels the element that
is missing is the 'urban village" concept and the sense of place. Staff is talking about more office buildings
when there is a glut of offica space around Orange County. He does not feel they have the right development
in the commercial mix that is needed. There are six acres left and if they continue to build office buildings and
bring in students, they are not creating the urban village concept. He is pleased to see progress on signage
and ligh'dng. He feels they are not moving fast enough and the downtown merchants are suffering and need
help now. He would like to see an emphasis placed on efforts to assist these memhants.
Mrs. Stipko~ch explained that they are not focusing on offices but are focusing on theaters. Every conference
she attends relative to entertainment/retail, it is affirmed that there is no substitute for movie theaters to bring
people into an area especially at night. The theaters will help all the food users and create a demand for more.
Theaters and festival retail and entertainment is their focus. If they can get office uses through the
telecommunications program, that will be a plus. Other than that, the office market is something they would
not be going after. She emphasized, the highest priorities are theaters and entertainment/retail.
Extensive discussion, questions and input on many issues followed by Mayor Daly and Council Members;
questions were addressed by Mrs. Stipkovich.
Council Member Zemel. He expressed, as he has in the past, how important it is to him to have the Chapman
Law School relocate to the Koll Center. With the businesses downtown, the goal is to attract more customers.
He feels a lot of activity is being provided which is important for the existing businesses and that not going after
more commercial is a good thing. If he was to be critical of anything, he has a question on the downtown
business association. It is good to bring the groups together, but the City has a Chamber of Commerce which
is very active. He is wondering what the relationship is - was their Council direction to have staff start a
downtown business association, how did it happen, is the Chamber included, if not, why not.
Lisa S'dpkovich. She has discussed the matter with Susan Klaren, Director of the Chamber and they feel the
Chamber is very crfdcal to making that work. They are not saying there should be a downtown association, but
CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 1996
that they know the issues, there is an identity problem and there are small operators who cannot afford to
market on their own. In analyzing what other cities are doing when they have a similar problem, many are
forming downtown associations because it is more efficient to do something as a group than as individuals.
She wrote a memo to the City Council indicating staff had analyzed the situation and were thinking about
suggesting that a downtown association be considered. It did not come as a directive from the Council. It is
definitely going to be worked out through the Chamber. She assured Council Member Zemel it was not
competing with the Chamber and that the matter was actually being handled by a Chamber representative,
Gene Brewer.
Council Member Feldhaus then gave his historical perspective on how the idea of a downtown business
association came about; Council Member Zemel commented that ti may seem they are only concerned with
a downtown business association whereas perhaps there should be a west end business association, one for
Brookhurst Street, another for the Northeast Area, etc. where the City can assist rather than lead.
Lisa Slipkovich. She was interested in providing a forum. They threw out an idea and said this is what others
are doing - was there interest, and does it make any sense. Events were a big part of that. It seems with most
downtown associations, one of the key things they do are events; Council Member Feldhaus noted that the
Chamber was invited to participate.
Council Member Zemel. He clarified, if Council has not given Mrs. Stipkovich clear communication on the
contract for economic development with the Chamber, he would like to know about that perhaps in a pdvate
meeting.
Input was then given by Redevelopment Commissioners and questions posed which were addresed by Mrs.
Stipkovich. Commissioner Renner explained that he sat in on the formative meeting of the merchant's
association. He was first involved with a merchant's organization in the 1970's and he feels he has come full
circle where they are still attacking the same problems they had as downtown merchants before there was
Redevelopment - how do they relay their message as downtown merchants that they exist. Communication
with citizens in the commun~ seems more difficult today than ti was 20 years ago even in an age of
communication. He suppods the formation of a merchant's association.
Mrs. S~pkovich addressed add~Jonal questions wherein she reported that there is also an opportunity with the
realignment of the I-5 and the interchange on Lincoln to work on street alignment from Harbor to the freeway
to get better access. Realignment along with special landscaping and a street lighting program could provide
a much closer identity to what they have downtown. Staff has also talked to Norm's Restaurant about every
site they can think of for relocation. The two 3-acre sites are still under the Development Agreement with Koll
and Koll has un~l December of 1997 to present a project they can get financed along with a commitment letter
from a lending ins~ution. The agreement calls for Redevelopment and Koll to jointly redo the site plan for the
property next to the ice rink. The posted site plan indicates a theater with some restaurants and those are the
types of discussions they have been having with Koll - what is their capabii~ of coming up with that kind of
project on the south piece. The design and discussions with Koll previously were all about bringing in Chapman
Law School as a new building on that site and that needs to be reopened as a discussion with Koll as well to
come up with a new site plan. Koll knows they have to start work right now to come up with a concept plan they
can all agree on. Relaitve to the theaters, there are a couple of proposals in house right now so there is interest
from some to do a smaller type project, i.e., perhaps 10 theaters, not 20 or 30 as may occur next to the arena.
Mayor Daly. It is fair to say that the last 5% of the original 200 acres of downtown Project Alpha are receiving
a great deal of scrutiny and they look fo~vard to the coming attractions. The Council has a Liaison Committee
on this subject, he and Council Member Feldhaus, as well as a Chamber Liaison Committee with Council
Member Feldhaus and Zemel as representative. He then thanked staff for the informative presentation and
update and was pleased to have had the opportunity to meet jointly with the Redevelopment Commission.

ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA:
There were no additions to agenda items.
ITEMS OF PUBUC INTEREST:
Peter Healy. He is present to introduce himself as the newly elected President of the Anaheim Municipal
Employees Association. He works in the City's Public Works Field Engineering section as an Assistant
Surveyor. He also introduced Dan Dominguez, a 24-year City employee and an 18-year employee of Anaheim
Stadium worldng as a skilled craftsman, one of the employees that has helped to make the Stadium the pride-
worthy public asset that it is. As the Council moves towards turning over this public asset (Anaheim Stadium)
to a private partner, that within the grand strategic theme of doing so, the people who helped to make the
stadium a coveted asset are not forgotten and the fate of their livelihoods is treated with just consideration.
Mayor Daly. He thanked Mr. Healy for taking the time to introduce himself and for his comments.
Erica Rogers, 24371 Osprey, El Tom - Nursing Student, Cai State University, Long Beach. This semester, one
of her classes is participating in a community health awareness project to make the public more aware of
certain health issues that may arise in the community. She thereupon briefed the health hazards involved with
lead poisoning and the sources of lead poisoning.
Claudis Jonas, 1120 W. South Street, Anaheim. She and her neighbors are requesting that the corner of South
Sb'eet and Manchester Avenue be closed. The City said they wore going to close it in 1998 but they cannot wait
that long. Two years ago, her son got hit by a hit and run driver. Last week, a neighbor's son got hit. They
need to have He corner temporarily barricaded until it is permanently closed. She clarified for the Mayor that
the freeway on ramp is about 30' to 50' away. Cars go speeding to get to the freeway on South Street or off
the freeway to South Street. There is no way a residential area should have to put up with cars going 45 to 50
M.P.H. or more. It is too dangerous for the children. She has talked to staff years ago. She has done so many
things in her area on her own stardog in 1977 including getting nd of the "gang bangers" in the whole area from
Manchester to Walnut. She can no longer do things alone. She got only four people to come with her tonight.
She celled Planning, Street Maintenance and different departments. She talked to a Mr. MartJnez and a lot of
people who said they were going to close the corner. That was 8 to 10 years ago. Letters were sent to the
residents three years ago saying thera would bo a closure in 1997 or 1998 but for sure before 2000. They
need it done now. She urged them to close it temporarily with barricades or whatever it would take.
Mayor Daly. He noted that John Lower, the City's Traffic and Transportation Manager was present in the
chamber audience and he asked Mrs. Jones to speak with him at this time to personally discuss the situation
and to work out a solution. He asked that she give Mr. Lower all parliculara as well as her name, address and

ADD TO ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST: ~oaqe 6)
Scott Blank, 119 Tower, Anaheim proposed a board game called Baseballopoly, similar to
Monopoly (which brings in about $40 million a year) to generate revenues to pay for the City's
$30 million towards the Stadium project. He would be happy to sit down with someone to
address the possibility and its potential.
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1996
phone number and to let him know exactly where she would dike to see the barricade. They will then ask Mr.
Lower to report beck to inform the Council of his analysis and recommendation.
The following people spoke relative to the City's negotiations with Disney regarding Anaheim Stadium
renovalion and related issues:
Scott Blanke, 119 Tower St~eet~ Anaheim. As a resident, he is concemed about the funds needed to redevelop
Anaheim Stadium. He has seen a few ideas to raise money, one being a game called Baseballopoly. The
game Monopoly is a nation-wide game and has been bringing in 40 million dollars a year for 60+ years. He
would dike to discuss the matter to show how this game can raise funds for the community.
Jeff Kimch, 2661 W. Palais, Anaheim. He expressed his concerns over what he has read in newspaper articles
relative to the possible financing for the new Anaheim Stadium proposal. He suggested an agendized
discussion on the altemafives and effect on taxpayers so that the public could have the Council articulate their
positions on the different proposals.
James Thorne, speaking on behalf of the Board of Directom of the Angels Booster Club stated they are in
support of ratification of the renovation of Anaheim Stadium.
Stan Pawiowski, 1433 W. Janeen Place, Anaheim (Member of the Board of Anaheim Stadium, Inc.) He gave
extensive comments and reasons why the City should work toward an agreement with Disney relative to the
renovation of the Stadium and the desire to retain baseball in Anaheim for another 30 years. He cannot see
another owner or company that would be willing to invest the types of dollars Disney is willing to invest to
support besebell in Anaheim. He urged the Council not to let the opportunity slip away.
Keith Murdoch, 516 Wedgewood, Anaheim (former City Manager). The City Council took a bold step in 1964
to bring a stadium and baseball to Anaheim. The Stadium is a good one but it does need to bo able to
accommodate today's baseball industry as well as other events. He does not know the details of the
negotiations that ars in progress, but is centident the Council will consider the proposal carefully and find a way
to take another bold step.
Ken Moore, 606 19th Street, Huntington Beach - President, Orange County Economic Development
Consortium. The Council, the City and its leadership have been visionary in positioning the City to where it is
today. They have created a distinct image for Anaheim and Orange County that would be hard to duplicate
anywhere in the United States and the world. They need professional sports. It is important to the economy
and the Consotrium supports their efforts and leadership in keeping professional sports as a major element
of Orange County and the Anaheim life style.
Gerry McGee, 221 1/2 Onyx, Balboa Island representing the Orange County Sports Association. Professional
besebell is something only 28 cities in the United States and Canada are able to enjoy. This is an opportunity
to work with the most professional management team, the Disney Sports Management Group which offem a
guarantee of quality. They urge the Council's support of the Disney proposal.
Burt Blyieven, 122 Canyon Circle, Villa Park (former Angel pitcher). He first explained what baseball meant
to him growing up in Southern California. Anaheim and Orange County deserve a baseball team. He hopes
the Council makes the right decision in keeping the Angels in Anaheim.
Jack I indquist, 97 Linda Isle, Newport I~each (former President of Disneyland). He is speaking as a private
citizen. Where they are at - is major league baseball going to stay in Anaheim. No one is willing to commit
the resources to renovate Anaheim Stadium other than the proposal from Disney. The City has the ability to
become one of the major sports capitals in the United States along with having one of the leading tourist
attractions in the world a mile away and also with the prospect of a sportstown development. Puffing it
altogether, what it means for the convention and visitor business in Anaheim and Orange County is a
tremendous opportunity. Anaheim is a major league C~ and deserves major league thinking.

OWNER: WILLIAM FACKINER, 740 North West Street, Anaheim, CA 92801
AGENT: ANACAL ENGINEERING COMPANY, P.O. Box 3668, Anaheim, CA 92803
LOCATION: 740-750 Norlft West S~'eet. Property is 1.1 acre, with frontage of approximately 210 feet
on the east side of West Sti'eet, having a maximum depth of approximately 243 feet and being located
approximately 220 feet south of the centerline of North Street.
To establish a 3-lot single family subdivision, with waiver of minimum lot size and width.
ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR:
Tentative Parcel Map No. 95-192 and Vadance No. 4286 DENIED (ZA Decision No. 96-03)
Approved Negative Declaration.
Informational item at the meeting of February 13, 1996, Item B13.
HEARING SET ON:
A review of the Zoning Administrator's decision was requested by Mayor Daly and Council Member Feldhaus
and Public Headng scheduled this date.
PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY:
Publication in Anaheim Bulletin - February 29, 1996.
Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - February 29, 1996.
Posting of property- March 1, 1996.
STAFF INPUT:'
See staff report to the Zoning Administrator dated February 1, 1996.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. This is a resubdivision of two existing lots creating three lots. The zoning is
RS10,000. Two of the lots would be less than that - one at 6,180 square feet and the other at 8,437. The third
is 31 ~240. As a result, staff recommended this item be approved since the subdivision would be consistent with
the Anaheim General Plan, the three lots would average more than 10,000 square feet, the waivers pertaining
to minimum lot size and width are common with the parcels in the neighborhood in the same zone, and the
deplh of the property cmatas a physical hardship in maintaining the property. At the headng before the Zoning
Administrator, the applicant submitted information following the headng that demonstrated and identified a
number of parcels in the neighborhood where the lots were less than 10,000 s.f. There were also five similar
variances granted over the years in that regard. For those reasons and especially with the additional materials
submitted, staff did recommend that the item be approved with the recommendations.
Mayor Daly opened the Public Headng.
Applicant's Statement: Kent Boydstun, 703 N. Anaheim Blvd., Anaheim representing William Fackiner, owner
of the properly and the applicant. He first submitted a site plan showing the subject lots and also a map of the
12
CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 1996
area. He feels they are present today because there was a mb(up with maps that did not highlight and show
examples of e~siJng lots that had been subdivided in the surrounding neighborhood. The house at 740 N. West
is the edginal grove house for that subdivision built many years ago which is now in dilapidated condition. Mr.
Fackiner wants to create a three-lot subdivision to build two new custom homes. The lot size, width and depth
is about the best they could come up with and still have an attractive, usable piece of property that fits into the
surrounding neighborhood. He referred to the map submitted with the color markings which highlights and
shows many of the lots that have been subdivided in the neighborhood. Most have 20' driveways. Several are
in the 5, 000 to 6,000 s.f. range and moat are under 10,000 s.f. He believes the proposal is a good, sensible
land use for the type of property involved.
Mayor Daly. To clarifi/the site plan, he notes that one of the new lots will be directly in front of the existing
house.
Kent Boydstun. He stated that would remain in the 31,000 s.f. lot. The hedge along West Street in front of Mr.
Fackiner's house will also remain as is. At some point in the future, there would still be room to subdivide
another 9,000 s. f. lot off of that and ~11 have another nice residential location, but the only request at this time
is that he be able to subdivide the two on the north side of the property and taking the 20' driveway off the
existing parcel in front of the house.
Mayor Daly asked if the existing driveway will be used as access to the two new homes.
Kent Boydatun answered no. A new ddveway will be constructed. There is one on the north side of the property
by 740. That might be a driveway into a garage from the front. They are planning that the house at 750 be tom
down and a new one built. He further clarified that the access will still be taken off West Street. They will have
the full 20' driveways the Fire Department requires. One is an existing driveway to the south and there will be
a new one on the north side. One house will be on the parcel where 750 N. West is and one will be directly
behind it. That lot is over 240' deep. The appearance of the houses will be something similar in design and
setback to those built to the south next to the Mitchell property.
There being no further persons who wished to speak either in favor or in opposition, the Mayor closed the Public
Headng.
Mayor Daly, in closing the Public Headng, noted that there was no opposition expressed on this item at the
Zoning Administrator hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NEGATiVE DECLARATION: On motion by Council Member Feldhaus
seconded by Council Member Daly the City Council approved the negative declaration upon finding that it has
considered the negative declaration together with any comments received dudng the public review process,
and further finding on the basis of the initial study and any comments received that there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. MOTION CARRIED.
MOTION: Council Member Feldhaus moved to approve TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 95-192 subject to

DISCUSSION ITEM:
168: DISCUSSION ON GOOGIE SIGNS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM.
(Note: the term "Googie Sign" represents a style of architectural design which was prominent in the
1950's and is most associated with coffee shops and roadside motels. The planning Commission's
discussion was'promptad by recent newspaper articles relate to "Googie Signs" in Orange County and
Anaheim; the "Googie Signs" exist in the Anaheim Resort and will eventually be removed; and the
desire to document this type of signage in Anaheim for historical purposes.)
ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION:
Recommendation to the C~ Council that the appropriate City staff be directed to document (text and
photographs) the existence of "Googie Signs" located in the City of Anaheim.
Council Member Feldhaus asked for clarification as to what constitutes a UGoogie" sign.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. It is a term used to characterize 1950's style architectural signs. Newspaper
articles commented on a number of such signs still remaining on Orange County and Los Angeles County.
Noting that the City is going to be taking some of the older signs down, the Planning Commission discussed
the matter at one of their hearings and felt it would be beneficial to document the signs for historical purposes.
He has spoken about the matter to the City Manager's office and the Manager's office feels the Public
Information Office could take photos and work with the Library to document and categorize the signs. An
example of a 'Googie' sign would be the Satellite Shopping Center sign on Katella Avenue near Haster.

Tom Steel, 524 E. Center Street, Anaheim
Art Montez, 8283 Mulberry, Buena Park (LULAC)
Mayor Daly welcomed those representatives who agreed to speak on this issue tonight and thanked them for
their patience in wei~ng to speak. He suggested a five-minute per speaker limit although that may be more than
sufficient.
The following speakers gave their respective positions:
NEUTRAL POSITION:
Lee Podolak, League of Women Voters. Before her presentation, she stated that the Anaheim Council was
the only one in Orange County who called for this kind of discussion on a measure so important to all. She then
explained the provisions of the proposed measure which poses the question - Shall Orange County change
its form of Government by adopting the Charter proposed?
¸18
CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 1996
POSITION IN FAVOR OF MEASURE T:
Mr. Phil Bettencourt, Orange County Business Council. (He later explained that he was not present as a
representative of the Business Council but as a private citizen who spent a great deal of time on the issue as
a member of the Charter Commission.) He first explained what the proposed Charter is about and what it is
not about. He then elaborated on the reasons why the Council and the citizens of the City and the County
should vote Yes on Measure T.
PosmoN IN OPPOSITION TO MEASURE T:
Mr. Steve White, 856 N. Clementine, Anaheim and a member of the Orange County Chaffer Commission. He
addressed the Council on two previous occasions (2/27 and 3/5/96) giving the reasons why he and those he
represents (Concerned Citizens Chaffer Committee Against Measure T) are opposed to the measure. He
urged the Council again to take a posi'don in opposition to Measure T.
Following the presentations, Council Members gave their input and position on Measure T.
Council Member Zemel. He is opposed to Measure T, his main concerns being it takes away the people's
right to vote and increases the likelihood of taxation.
Council Member FekJhaus. He is opposed to Measure T. As a member of the Resolutions Committee of the
League of California Cffies/Orange County Division, he was one of the two members who voted in opposition
with eight voting in favor. City staff is suggesting opposition to Measure T.
Mayor Daly. He is in favor of Measure T. He believes the County needs a Chaffer just as Anaheim has had
a Charter for 35 years. The proposed Chaffer will help to make Orange County government more efficient and
is a necessary first step towards streamlining and operating County Government. It can be amended by the
citizens to reflect future needs.
Council Member Tait. He is opposed to Measure T. While he could support the County being a Chaffer County
since he feels it is in need of major reform, Measure T does not go far enough. He does not believe that they
can get reform by taking away the power of the voters.
MOTION: Council Member Tait moved that the Council go on record as opposing Measure T and instructing
Mayor Daly to vote in oppesYdon to Measure T at the League of Cities Meeting/Orange County Division on March
14, 1996, League of Cities Resolution 4-96. Council Member Tait seconded the motion. Mayor Daly voted No.
MOTION CARRIED.
Relative to Measure U, expanding the Board of Supervisors from 5 to 9 members, the Council was unanimous
in its opposition to the measure thus suppeffJng the League Resolution (5-96) and staff's recommendation.
