End of Consent Calendar. MOTIONS CARRIED. 162,172; REQUEST FOR SPEED BUMPS - HOLBROOK AND GLENVIEW STREETS: Residents of the Holbrook and Glenvtew neighborhood have requested, by petition, that speed humps be installed on Holbrook and Glenvtew. Submitted was detailed report dated April 30, 1990 from the Director of Public Works/City Engineer, Gary Johnson, recommending that the Council disapprove the installation of speed humps within the public right-of-way. Also previously submitted was extensive correspondence and data from the proponents 412 City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1, 1990, 5;30 P,M. which included their initial request dated Aprtl 28, 1989, petitions, diagrams and answers by staff to the requests (all made a part of the record). Mayor Hunter announced that since approximately 60 people were present on this item, the Council would consider it before other portions of the agenda. He assumed there was a spokesman for the group to make the presentation since this was not a noticed public hearing. Also, the Council had received and reviewed the data previously submitted. Mr. Phil Dominguez, 4957 Holbrook (Mr. Dominguez also submitted a notebook of data and photographs which contained some of the material already submitted, as well as additional information including supporting data from other cities relative to speed humps, overview of speed humps, a traffic report from the City of Thousand Oaks concerning speed humps, and traffic reports from the City of Anaheim as well as speed surveys and traffic counts made a part of the record). Working from the aerial photo posted on the Chamber wall, Mr. Dominguez pointed out Glenview and Holbrook Streets and explained why the issue had arisen - the reason being that motorists traveling south on Kellogg are using Glenview and Holbrook to avoid traffic signals on Orangethorpe and Kellogg, causing an extreme amount of traffic traveling through their neighborhood (2,500 cars on Glenveiw and 2,000 on Holbrook in a 24-hour period at an average speed of 33 to 34 miles per hour). Alternatives were discussed and two of the three were rejected with speed humps, as distinguished from speed bumps, being the alternative that the residents would like to see on both Glenview and Holbrook, six on each street. Turn restrictions would not solve the problem of vehicles using the streets and cul de sacing would not allow residents to access Kellogg. Mr. Dominguez then narrated a slide presentation which showed Glenview and Holbrook (the photographs submitted were representative of the slides) and also showed Amberdale Street and Yorba Ltnda where speed humps are utilized. They are also used in other cities (see listing in data presented). Those cities using speed humps to control speed and cut down through traffic had positive things to say as evidenced by the questionnaires included in the booklet. They also did not see any liability problem which is one of the main points of contention with Anaheim City staff. They have worked with Traffic Engineering since November and researched the several options with them and this is the only option they have come up with that will be a solution to the problem, although he knows there are strong concerns about liability. The cost of speed humps range anywhere from $200 to $1,000 each. Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer. The device is an attempt to slow down vehicles by means of an artificial obstruction in the roadway. There are some recent cases where this was considered to be a liability to the City. Only in some instances does it reduce speed. The average speed on the two streets in the 30s is not excessive for what are essentially collector streets. There is additional traffic generated by peak car volumes that bypass the intersection of Kellogg and Orangethorpe. The solutions which staff has put forth to constrain traffic at the intersection of Kellogg is to restrict turns thereby substantially reducing traffic traveling the streets and if that did not work to the satisfaction of the neighborhood, to construct cul de sacs in such a 413 City Hall, ~Daheim, CalSfor~ia - COUNCIL MINUTES - Hay 1. 1990. 5:30 P.M. way as not to encroach upon existing lawns. Either of those two alternatives would create a much quieter neighborhood. If the City opens the door to speed humps, there will be hundreds of requests since these are not the only streets in the City experiencing such problems. The proliferation of these devices would create a burden on the budget as well as an inconvenience to residents. Speed humps are an obstruction to emergency vehicles. It is staff's strong recommendation that speed humps not be instituted. Further, the California Transportation Commission has not approved the speed hump as a traffic control device. The Institute of Transportation Engineers has opposed the use of these devices on the basis of safety. He recommends that one of the other alternatives be used to curtail some of the speeding on the streets. This has been a long-term problem in the subject neighborhood. Staff would like to proceed cautiously first with signing and striping changes to reduce the number of vehicles entering the street and secondly if that does not work to construct cul de sacs. It could be done successfully and provide access but yet would prohibit through traffic on Glenview and Holbrook. Discussion and questioning then followed between Council Members, staff and Mr. Dominguez, wherein costs of the various alternatives were discussed, feasibility of cul de sacing, liability issue, etc. Councilwoman Kaywood also noted that according to the staff report of April 30, 1990, there was not unanimity in the neighborhood that speed humps are the solution to the problem. At the conclusion of discussion, Mayor Hunter stated since this was the first time the Council was presented with the issue, it was not for the Council tonight to pick out plan A, B or C. Although the entire Council wants to help with a solution to the concerns and problems raised, it is not possible to do that tonight. The matter should be put back on the agenda after staff, Traffic, Police and whoever else should be involved has worked with the neighborhood. The Council does not have enough information tonight and the issue needs more review. Councilman Pickler. He agrees this should be referred back to staff and a report subsequently submitted to the Council. As well, the data Mr. Dominguez submitted will be incorporated into the record. Councilman Ehrle. He would like to know the actual cost of speed humps, cost of cul de sating, how many emergency vehicles have used the subject streets in the last couple of years and how many traffic citations have been given. Marsha Clark, 1760 North Glenview. The reality is it is not safe even on the sidewalks. She has lived on the street for 6 1/2 years. She then relayed four accidents involving vehicles that she has witnessed. In order to get an average speed in the 30s, cars are usually traveling over 40 miles per hour. The speed limit i= not enforced most of the time. There are many children in the area as well as schools. Because of the California Vehicle Code, they do not have a chance that there will be improvement. They need something more permanent. 414 City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May ~, 1990, 5;30 P,M, Upon questioning staff, it was determined that six weeks would be an appropriate time frame to submit a report and recommendation to the Council. Mayor Hunter. He is going to direct the City Manager to contact Police Chief Molloy so that during the next six weeks, there will be extra traffic enforcement in the subject area. The matter was then continued to the meeting of June 12, 1990 and during the interim appropriate staff is to work with the neighborhood relative to alternatives to eliminate/mitigate the problem and a report subsequently to be submitted by staff to include the data requested by Council as discussed in this meeting. RECESS; By general consent, the Council recessed for ten minutes. (7:04 p.m.) AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members being present. (7:12 p.m.) 149/108/142: ORDINANCE NO. 5117 - AMENDMENT TO VENDING ORDINANCE: Amending subsections of Chapter 14.32 of Title 14 relating to the sale of goods or merchandise by vehicle. The ordinance was introduced at the meeting of April 3, 1990. (Extensive discussion relative to proposed changes to the ordinance took place March 20, 1990, wherein the City Attorney was directed to prepare the ordinance at the request of the Council see minutes that date). The matter was again discussed at the meeting of April 17, 1990, and subsequently continued two weeks to this date. ORDINANCE NO, 5117: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING VARIOUS SUBSECTIONS OF SECTION 14.32.310 OF CHAPTER 14.32 OF TITLE 14 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO SALE OF GOODS OR MERCHANDISE BY VEHICLE. Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood wanted it indicated on the record and as discussed at the prior meeting, that the Council is considering the ordinance based on public requests received from the vendors and not due to any litigation currently pending. She then asked Mr. Sarmiento, attorney representing the vendors, if he intended to ask for attroneys fees if the ordinance is adopted. Mr. Salvador Sarmtento, attorney representing the vendors. He discussed the issue with the City Attorney and the difficulty he (Sarmiento) has is that there is litigation pending at this time. There is also a Code of Ethics he has to follow and he is not allowed to speak with a particular party being represented by Council and Councilwoman Kaywood would have to go through City Attorney Jack White. One issue is the litigation and one is the ordinance. Councilwoman Kaywood. She surmised that Mr. Sarmiento was not saying he would not be seeking attorneys fees; Mr. Sarmtento answered that he will address the ordinance but relative to the litigation, he would have to go through the City Attorney. He clarified for Councilwoman Kaywood that with regard to the ordinance, he cannot answer the question of whether or not he would be seeking attorneys fees if there are any changes made to the ordinance. 415 115 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1. 1990, 5;30 P,M, Councilwoman Kaywood. Since that is the case, it will make it easy for her to determine that there will be no changes in the ordinance. She wanted to know if anyone wished to speak to the matter. Councilman Pickler. The litigation filed against the City has been because of the ordinance and the Council is considering changing the ordinance. Mr. Sarmiento is being asked if he would withdraw asking for attorneys fees and he, (Sarmiento) is saying he will not. Mr. Sarmiento. If the City wanted to sit down and negotiate an attempt to settle the whole issue together, he is not opposed to that. The litigation was never placed on the table. The only thing discussed in the task force was the ordinance and to his understanding, it is the only thing before the Council. He is willing to sit down and discuss litigation with the Council present. Councilwoman Kaywood. She has heard from people over the years who do not want the street vendors in the City. They do not have one good thing to say about them. They clog up traffic, park in front of driveways, dirt is left behind them, they are a traffic hazard, there is noise, etc. Nobody wants them. Mayor Hunter. He disagrees. He is down the streets all the time and he has yet to have one person come to him to complain about the street vendors. There may be people in the audience but they have never come to him to say they have a problem. He believes there is a bifurcation between any prospective law suit and working on the ordinance. They should not use it as an excuse as to what they might do with the ordinance. The proposed ordinance is still very strict. It ts'time there is more of a level playing field. He is ready to vote on the ordinance. It is not a public hearing but if the Council wants to open it up to public input, they can do so. Councilman Pickler. He has no problem in looking at and making some changes but he does have a problem with the attorney for the vendors indicating that he will continue to sue and also to request his fees while on the other hand the City Attorney is saying if the City passes the ordinance, it will place the City in more Jeopardy. He is not ready to do that. Mayor Hunter. He feels that is an excuse and there has been harassment to the Chicano/Mexican people in the City for too long. It is necessary to work together with the Hispanic community. On issues like this, there is one set of standards for some and another set for the Hispano/Americano$. Mr. Len Spivak, property owner, 1528 Jeffrey (corner of Jeffrey/Lynne), property owner at that location for 12 years. Approximately two months ago, he wrote to the Mayor commending the Council on all the fine work that has been done in the Jeffrey/Lynne area with substantial Code Enforcement but indicated that the one pressing problem related to the street vendors. On one hand the Police Department is trying to eliminate the parking problem while on the other the vending trucks are parked for long periods in the area. A vending truck parked on his property for 2 1/2 hours last week and another 416 City Hall. Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1, 1990, 5;30 P,M, time 1 1/2 hours. He questioned why they are not abiding by the 1/2 hour specified in the ordinance. The vendors seemed to know the hours of Code Enforcement and police patrol and work around those hours. His parkway used to be green but now it is a barren field because it has been trampled down. The vendors generate and leave a great deal of trash. He is looking at the situation from the point of consistency. Before concluding, he relayed other problems he has experienced relative to vending in the area. Amin David. He is present as President of Los Amigos of Orange County, as a businessman and resident of the City. It is obvious to him that the people addressing the issue in a negative fashion were "planted" and asked to be present. They also could have packed the Chamber with people in support of what is just, fair and reasonable. It is ludicrous to argue and try to enmesh the issue of litigation with the ordinance. He considers it capricious and arbitrary. It is a "blackmail" tactic and offensive to the dignity of the Council to try to inject that element into it. They call upon the sensibility of the Council to recognize when their people are constrained in such high density proportions, they are bound to have more trash and more of the things that are visible not only in the Jeffrey/Lynne but other areas. What Mr. Spivak said should be attributed to Code Enforcement. If those violations are occurring, they should be informed. He feels the Council should take a positive vote on the ordinance tonight. Councilman Pickler. He is going to oppose any ordinance changes until the attorney backs off on his fees. Further, even now, Anaheim allows the longest period for vendors to remain in on place which is 30 minutes. In surrounding cities it is five minutes to ten minutes with fifteen minutes maximum in one of the cities. Fern Call. She owns apartments at 123 East Leatrlce Lane. She has stated it would not be bad for a vegetable truck to be in the area because a lot of women do not drive. She does not class people by race or religion. Everybody is entitled to a decent place to live. However, she does not see how they, as owners, can keep them decent. For example, sweeping is done on Friday and today the area is a mess. The debris includes corn cobs which bring in rats. She was in the area on Saturday and Sunday and the vendors were there for two hours and still there when she left. As owners, they are not even allowed to get a sticker to park in front of their garages. There is no place to park. A vending truck takes about seven spaces. She questioned who the City was protecting - the residents who live in the area or the vendors. John Wong, 915 Chestnut Place, Newport Beach. The vending trucks park in front of his properties for not only two hours but half a day or a whole day. He tells them since they attract so many people and debris is left behind, it should be their responsibility to clean the streets. The vendors refuse to do it but the City fined him $200 last month. He asked if they were protecting his tenants or the vendors. Salvador Sarmtento. He feel~ it is unfair when people start mentioning vendors and drugs with the same breath. The people he represents abide by the statutes that exist. If a vending truck is sitting there for six hours, they 417 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1, 1990, 5;30 P.M. should be cited. It is not the fault of the vendors who he represents, it is Code Enforcement. They are not doing their job. If there is a lot of trash in the street then perhaps it is the landlord who is not taking care of the situation. There are ordinances in force right now and there will continue to be ordinances that are directed to those problems. He feels those should be enforced. Pedro Vazquez, 627 Shelton, Santa Ana, representative of the vendors, speaking through Mr. Sarmiento as his interpreter, stated that the problem with the vendors is directly related to the owners of the apartments. The services the vendors give to the tenants and the City is not appreciated. He questioned who they are supposed to serve, the owners or the tenants. He would like all those present today to have the conscience to concentrate on his question, the reasons why the vendors are being hurt physically, morally and economically. They are paying for something they have not done. They do not charge outrageous prices to their customers. They do not have apartments where they put 20 people into one bedroom. They work closely with the community and with the people who live in the apartments, with their people and race. They are not asking the owners of the apartments to permit them to enter. They are asking the Council to consider the vendors and appreciate the work they are doing. Oscar Picasso. He is a resident of the Jeffrey/Lynne area for the last 11 years and has been familiar with the area for the last 20 years. (He is also a member of the South Anaheim Neighborhood Council). With all due respect, the issue is not the trash or the many things that have been said but something else. The police have mentioned the reason why they do not want to have the vendors longer than certain times, is because of the certain groups that hang around. Some years ago people used to go into the area on different days of the week. There was competition, everything was fine, but then somebody decided it was a good idea to monopolize the whole thing. There were some incidents where some of the people who were in the audience got into fist fights because of the situation. The issue is those unwanted people and drugs. Most of those people, if not all are involved in that kind of business on the side. He has gone right into the places and mingled with the people that have to do with prostitution and drugs. He is not only talking about the users but the pushers. If the Council wants facts, he is willing to talk to them and give eye witnesses of the people involved. The City will be spendin§ thousands of dollars in the community center and mini park but the issue is drugs. Some of the eye witnesses do not live in the area but they have talked to the police and privately they are willing to tell them details and the names of the persons involved. Answering Councilwoman Kaywood relative to the time vendors should be allowed to stay in an area, they used to be there for ten minutes and now they stay five or six hours. That is okay as long as they abide by the law and do not mingle their business with something else. They can sell everything as long as they abide by the law and do not hurt the society. He can be reached through the South Anaheim Neighborhood Council and they will give the Council a tour so they will know the circumstances first hand and not because someone else tells them. 418 11/I City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES May 1, 1990, 5;30 P,M, Councilman Daly asked the City Attorney the status of the pending law suit with the vendors and if it was practical to try to solve some of the legal issues as part of the ordinance or to let the law suit take its course. City Attorney White. The matter has not been set for trial date at this time. It is still in one of the preliminary stages and motions are pending. He anticipates it will probably be another year or so away from a resolution in the trial court. The law suit should continue to proceed and take its course. As part of the process, the court automatically schedules settlement discussions and conferences. He will undoubtedly be back to the Council talking about potential settlements of the law suit outside the context of amending the ordinance. The record is clear as can be but the Council is considering these amendments based on the fact that requests were made previously by vendors to ask the Council to make these amendments and the Council has not initiated the amendments in response to the existing litigation just as it is clear that now these amendments will not settle the litigation. He sees no reason why the two have to be intertwined irrevocably at this time. Councilman Pickler. The current ordinance is something that they can live with. Otherwise they are bending over backwards. For example, for a standard infraction in the City, the fee for everyone is $100 for the first offense and then $200 and $250 for the second and third. The proposed change in the ordinance would make it a straight $50 for this one group. He does not think that is right especially when it involves people from outside the area. Many of the vendors do not live in Anaheim. The present ordinance, as it stands, is a good one and changing it will be detrimental, especially to the Jeffrey/Lynne area. Councilman Ehrle. There are vendors who come into the City who do not abide by the City's rules and regulations and make it difficult for those who do abide by those rules. In order to correct the situation, he recommends that after all requirements have been met to obtain a business license for vending tht a license "plate" of some kind be permanently affixed in a visual place on the vehicle. And that way, Code Enforcement will be able to identify those who commit violations and if that occurs two, three or four times, then it will be necessary to look at that particular section of the ordinance. WAIVER OF RF~%DING - ORDINANCE; The title of the following ordinance was read by the City Clerk. (Ordinance No. 5117) Councilman Hunter moved to waive the reading in full of the ordinance. Councilman Daly seconded the,,motton. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Hunter offered Ordinance No. 511? for adoption. Refer to Ordinance Book. ORDINANCE NO. 5117: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING VARIOUS SUBSECTIONS OF SECTION 14.32.310 OF CHAPTER 14.32 OF TITLE 14 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO SALE OF GOODS OR MERCHANDISE BY VEHICLE. 419 111 City Hall, ~Dahetm, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1, 1990. 5:30 P.M. City Attorney White explained because it is necessary that all Council Members agree to waive reading in full of an ordinance or a resolution, and there was one no vote, it is necessary to read the ordinance in full. City Clerk Sohl then read the ordinance in its entirety. At the conclusion of reading in full of the ordinance, a vote was then taken on Ordinance 5117, which had been offered by Councilman Hunter. Refer to Ordinance Book. Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood asked the City Attorney to clarify a point of possible liability for the City in case of an accident in the proposed ordinance should the amount of space for a vehicle to be parked from the intersection be changed from the present 100 feet to 40 feet. City Attorney White explained the law in that regard concluding it was his opinion the City would not accrue any liability by the change. A vote was then taken on the foregoing ordinance: Roll Call Vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Daly, Ehrle and Hunter Kaywood and Pickler None The Mayor declared Ordinance No. 5117 duly passed and adopted. 164/000; ADJUSTING WEIR CANYON ROAD DRAINAGE REIMBURSEMENT AREA: To consider a resolution approving the annual adjustment of fees (from $5,000 to $5,250 per acre) for the established Weir Canyon Road Drainage Reimbursement Area as required per Resolution No. 87R-509. Submitted was report dated April 3, 1990 from the Director of Public Works/City Engineer, recommending approval of the subject annual adjustment. Mayor Hunter asked if anyone wished to speak either in favor or in opposition to the proposed annual adjustment of fees; there being no response he closed the public hearing. WAIVER OF READING - RESOLUTION: The title of the following resolution was read by the City Clerk. (Resolution No. 90R-139) Councilman Pickler moved to waive the reading in full of the resolution.

The discussion portion of the report gave an overview of the situation and subsequently attached to the report was a summary of projects in process at this time in the CR area. Joel Fick, Planning Director. The City is currently in the process of a major study effort in the CR area, perhaps the most comprehensive ever undertaken in that area. It is an enhancement program that addresses signage, landscaping,. development regulations and also examines existing and future land use projects and associated infrastructure requirements for the next 20 years. The City has a strong desire to comprehensively plan for the area and accommodate the ultimate growth potential for the CR area. It was in that spirit that there have been discussions about how Anaheim could maximize the potential for the CR area and not take steps in the interim to preclude that potential from being realized. As was requested at a Liaison Committee meeting, staff did examine alternatives and has identified that Alternative A, an ordinance prepared by the City Attorney, is one that would most closely implement the goals discussed by the Liaison Committee of letting the area fully reach its potential. Subsequent to preparation of the report, there was another alternative prepared by the City Attorney, the Exhibit "C" Ordinance, that would also accomplish those stated goals. Alan Hughes, Executive Director, Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber, in representing the business community has some concerns relative to the proposed ordinance. Having just received the material, the Chamber has not had the opportunity to look at the proposal in any depth. However, they feel there will be heavy implications involved which will have a great affect on the business community if the proposed ordinance is adopted. The Chamber would like some time to take a look at it and to develop their presentation. It would require that the Council not consider adopting the ordinance on an emergency basis but in a more timely fashion. Tom Kieviet, Farano & Kievtet. He is present on behalf of several developer clients his firm is representing who have land and/or development projects within the CR area. His comments are on their behalf. He echos the Chamber's position that this issue has not had the opportunity to be reviewed and afforded public input and comment by the people most affected. At the least, they are asking that the ordinance not be adopted on an urgency basis but that it go through the normal process. This proposal is extremely unfair to projects that have gone through up to this point. They were before the 421 log City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES May 1, 1990, 5;30 P,M, Council in October to speak to Council's adoption of an ordinance requiring all motel/hotel uses to go through the CUP process. The ordinance was adopted, and on at least two projects his clients went through the expense, time and effort to conduct various studies and meeting all Code requirements. They have been approved by the Planning Commission and subsequently set for public hearings before the Council. Since they have complied with the Code, they anticipate the Council will look at those projects favorably. To now stop them and change the rules when they are so near the end would be grossly unfair. Adoption of the ordinance on this basis could seriously jeopardize projects planned in the area. In particular is the Riviera project which is attempting to present a revised proposal to the City. If the ordinance is adopted, they will be unable to proceed. These projects would be a major benefit to the City. In the event the Council does want to consider adoption of a moratorium, which is what the proposal is calling for, to the extent projects have met conditions up to this point in time and have had Planning Commission approval, those projects be permitted to go forward. They are requesting input from staff on how it will affect their ability to proceed with the Riviera project. He asked that the Council give the matter the serious consideration it deserves. Casey Honeywell, Director of Strategic Planning and Development for the Walt Disney Company. He is speaking in favor of the limited moratorium. The Walt Disney Company has a great interest in the continuing goal in the CR area and the maintenance of standards to ensure quality development in that area. They strongly believe in the evolution of the CR area into a world class tourist destination resort area. Most of the elements are in place but they feel there are two unresolved issues inhibiting growth and development of the CR area - the absence of a comprehensive plan to upgrade infrastructure in support of that growth, and the absence of a cohesive set of design standards and zoning guidelines to ensure quality development. Anaheim has initiated a planning process under the auspices of Joel Flck, Planning Director, and Gary Johnson, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, to address these issues. The proposed moratorium would control development during the planning period and allow for the comprehensive planning process to study such issues as design standards, land uses and transportation measures and ensure that projects in the pipeline would conform to the emerging standards from that study, It is essentially a pro-§rowth moratorium proposed for a very limited period of time as a valid planning tool. They have spoken to a number of business interests in the community and particularly with representatives of the Visitor and Convention Bureau. There is considerable support particularly among hotel owners for the moratorium and particularly for the planning process that this moratorium would support. It is necessary for the continued growth of the CR area in general and Dtsneyland's expansion plans in particular. They strongly propose the institution of the moratorium as drafted. John Swint, 707 West North Street, Anaheim. He has three projects going into the Disneyland area which are presently in progress. Considerable funds have been spent on the projects for traffic impact studies, sewer studies, landscaping plans, etc. He is at City Hall three or four times a week, week 422 110 City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1, 1990, 5;30 P,M, after week and no one has ever said there is an ordinance going to be proposed placing a moratorium on building. It is very unfair that property owners have not been given any notice of such a moratorium. He stands to lose at least $150,000 if the ordinance is passed. He feels it is time for some changes but there should be a warning. City Attorney White. One item not discussed in the staff presentation, if the Council, by a 4/5 vote, adopts this interim measure in any form, it will only be valid for a period of 45 days. During that period, it would be necessary for the Council, if they desired, to extend it beyond 45 days, to conduct a noticed public hearing and as a result of that hearing to then again vote to extend the ordinance, in whole or in part, for a further period of time. If the Council fails to conduct that hearing and vote to extend the ordinance within 45 days, the ordinance will automatically expire at the end of 45 days and all the uses currently in effect will continue without change and any projects in the works would be allowed to go forward at that time. Mayor Hunter asked when the CR area study was anticipated to be completed. Joel Fick. They are currently having meetings on an ongoing basis with the Planning Commission. They are holding workshops and reviewing portions of the Code. It should be completed within the next two months. They are then planning on taking all those regulations to the business community, seeking input from the public and coming back for the formal adoption process through the Planning Commission and Council. The second portion of the study which is the land use transportation infrastructure portion of the study, preliminary results will be in towards the end of summer. Dan Van Dorp, Consulting Engineer, 863 Jasper Circle, Anaheim. They just received the data yesterday and have not had time to analyze it. There are two different ordinances before the Council so it is difficult to comment. One is a total prohibition on any construction and the other exempts certain projects that were approved prior to April 17th provided they meet certain other conditions. He represents Anaheim Hotel Complex which did receive approval on December 12, 1989 for a 17-story, 750-unit motel. The ordinance imposes additional restrictions as to the timing of building permits, etc. which were not a part of the original CUP. He does not see legally how those could be imposed. The ordinance states it is an emergency measure for health and safety reasons. The City already has a comprehensive zoning ordinance. Not one of the reasons has a justification or a finding of fact that the current zoning ordinance does not provide for the public health, safety and welfare. He recommends that the Council not adopt the ordinance at this time. Phil Schwartze, 14841 Yorba, Tustin. He has been working on the Conestoga Hotel project and the Coral Reef for about a year and is not sure whether that project is exempt or not. He has not seen the ordinance. They had a review by the Planning Department staff measuring their project against what he believes is in the new CR zone requirements. He believes they meet and exceed those requirements. If Council ultimately adopts that code, hopefully they are already there. If there is an exemption that could be worked out, the Coral Reef is ready to go and will be on the Consent Calendar which will be before the Council shortly. 423 107 City Hal~, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1, 1990, 5;30 P,M, Mayor Hunter ended the public input portion of the discussion. City Attorney White. The Council has been presented with not two but three potential alternatives, the third having been drafted yesterday, thus being unable to make it into the staff packets distributed in advance either to the public or City Council. It is similar to the other two but would extend the interim ordinance to projects that are numerated - the ten different listed types of uses. It would extend those to projects that are not yet under construction or further along. It would provide the projects that had building permits but had not yet started would be subject to the ordinance as well as those projects that did not have building permits as yet. That would be the distinction in what he would call Alternate C. The City Attorney continued that relative to Mr. Van Dorp's comments, there is an adequate statement of urgency contained in the ordinance. There was one other statement made by Mr. Van Dorp that needs clarification. The ordinance does not apply to refurbishing or remodelings, or to obtaining water heater permits. The language says - : ". no permit shall be issued for the construction, erection or expansion of any of the following listed uses." That is intended and would be interpreted by staff to only apply to new uses or expansions of existing uses, not to any remodeling, be it interior or exterior, that does not expand the use of the property when it falls in one of the categories set forth in the ordinance. Councilman Daly. Speaking to the City Attorney, he asked if Council were to adopt one of the proposed measures, could he (White) be prepared to report back to the Council within 30 days on a process for determining an approach regarding all the various projects that have been approved by either the Planning Commission or City Council to date. Is that something that he and the Planning Department could put together. Joel Fick, Planning Director, relayed to the City Attorney that they could do so. Councilman Hunter offered Urgency Ordinance No. 5126 for adoption. Refer to Ordinance Book. ORDINANCE NO. 512G: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM ADOPTING AN INTERIM MEASURE PURSUANT TO SECTION 65858 OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROHIBITING CERTAIN USES OF PROPERTY WHICH MAY BE IN CONFLICT WITH A ZONING PROPOSAL THE CITY COUNCIL IS CONSIDERING OR STUDYING AND DECLARING THAT THIS ORDINANCE IS AN URGENCY MEASURE WHICH SHALL TAKE IMMEDIATE EFFECT. Before a vote was taken, City Attorney White confirmed for the Mayor that the subject matter is on the agenda for Council consideration. The fact that the ordinance was Just received by the Council is immaterial. Adoption will require a 4/5 vote and the ordinance is required to be read in full. City Attorney White thereupon read Ordinance No. 5126 in full. 424 City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINI~ES - May 1, 1990, 5:30 P.M. Before a vote was taken, Councilman Ehrle stated he is going to oppose the ordinance, noting that in the data submitted it is obvious with the number of projects previously approved in the subject area that hundreds of millions of dollars are involved in these projects and the City is telling the business community it is going to shut down that business. A moratorium is a shut down. The area study was to have been submitted by this time and now it will be two more months and the matter will be going through additional Planning Commission review which will take additional time. It is not fair to the business and development community around the CR zone. He is opposed to moratoriums philosophically and politically. He believes it is wrong and does not see an urgency. The Council knows what is needed in the CR zone and they do not need more studies and moratoriums to get things done. The projects in process should go forward in the process and pass or fail on their merits. A CUP process is already in place. It is in the best interest of the City. Councilman Pickler. The CR zone is the heart and life blood of Anaheim. Many of the business people in the area have urged the City to make it attractive and viable. It is something that must be done. He would like to see the study expedited and to convince the City Manager to put in extra dollars into that. It is vitally important to the citizens and the City. A vote was the taken on the foregoing ordinance (Alternate C as read by the City Attorney).

Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - April 20, 1990. PLANNING STAFF INPUT: See Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated March 12, 1990. City Clerk, Lee Sohl. The General Plan Amendment and Reclassification were both denied by the Planning Commission. When these items were subsequently placed on the Council agenda under Planning Commission Informational Items on April 3, 1990, a statement was carried forward from the Planning Commission meeting that the Commission was requesting that Council review the items when, in fact, the Planning Commission had not directed that there be such a review. The Commission did not have any concern regarding their decision of denial. Once the error was recognized which occurred after the Council meeting, the City Attorney determined 427 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1, 1990. 5:30 P.M. in order to protect anyone who might have wanted to set a hearing and allow opportunity for due process that the hearing go forward. At that point, it was not possible to reverse the Council's setting the matter for a public hearing and notice was subsequently sent to property owners. Mayor Hunter. He first asked for a show of hands of how many people were present on the item. There were approximately 12. He surmised that they wanted to leave the General Plan designation and zoning as is without any change. Since the item was on the agenda for a public hearing today due to a misunderstanding, he asked how many people in the audience were in favor of changing the zoning; there was no response. City Attorney White. Because of the fact that this is a General Plan Amendment and Reclassification, these are legislative rather than quasi-judicial items. He senses that the Council is not enthusiastic about adopting the General Plan Amendment and approving the reclassification. It may save time and energy by his indicating it may not be necessary for a lot of people to speak. His sense is that it will be denied and unless someone urgently wants to speak, there would be no need to do so. Mayor Hunter opened the public hearing. PUBLIC DISCUSSION- IN FAVOR: None. PUBLIC DISCUSSION- IN OPPOSITION: None. COUNCIL ACTION: Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilman Hunter, seconded by Councilman Daly, the City Council approved the negative declaration upon finding that it has considered the negative declaration together with any comments received during 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.

They are requesting approval of the two subject properties for multifamily use. The current use of both properties is oil field production. This is the cleanest, most straight forward presentation they have made to the G0uncil to date. The use is the most appropriate for the properties. The neighborhood is multiple family residential.

Carleton Avenue, Anaheim, CA 92801 LOCATION/REQUEST: The property is located at 606 N. Carleton Avenue. The request is for a waiver of minimum lot size for accessory living quarters to retain a 379 square-foot accessory living quarter with kitchen facilities. ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION: Variance No. 4014 denied (PC90-46) (5 yes votes, 1 no vote, and 1 abstained). HEARING SET ON: A review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested by Councilman Hunter and Councilman Daly at the meeting of March 20, 1990, and public hearing.scheduled this date. PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY: Publication in Anaheim Bulletin April 19, 1990. Posting of property April 19, 1990. Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - April 20, 1990. PLANNING STAFF INPUT: See Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated February 26, 1990. APPLICANT'S STATEMENT: Wally Courtney, 917 Center Street, agent for Mr. and Mrs. Ulloa. The Ulloas have a 4-year old mentally disabled grandson who needs attention 24 hours a day. The subject property contains a permitted rumpus room in the backyard detached from the house. It was ideal for the family since they take turns caring for the 432 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May %, 1990, 5;30 child. The availability of the rumpus room on the property enables a son and wife to live there. The family moved in in September and were immediately approached by Code Enforcement responding to complaints. The neighbors complained that too many cars were being parked on the property and that improvements were being made without permits. When Code Enforcement investigated the matter they found that all the cars were running and registered. Since a large family is involved and live in the neighborhood, they came to the property to help. The Ulloas were also doing extensive remodeling, all with permits. Code Enforcement was called to the property several times, one time because of complaints that four or five families were living on the property which was not so. Code Enforcement found a cooking unit in the rumpus room which is not permitted. The variance being requested is the closest thing allowable with the current City Code. The Planning Commission turned the request down. The Ulloas have no intention of making the room a rental unit. It is for their son and family for the needed care of the handicapped child. He is asking for the continued use of the cooking facility which was there when Mr. Ulloa purchased the property. He clarified for Councilwoman Kaywood that the child was his son's child but not the one living with him. The City Attorney then clarified upon Council questioning that the problem is that the kitchen facilities that are in the second unit make that a separate residential unit and if there were no kitchen facilities there would be no problem. Councilman Pickler. He has a concern with making living quarters out of a rumpus room. It does not belong in that area. The family has to find another method of taking care of the child. Converting the room into living quarters will be a detriment to the area and it is something that is not legally meant to be. PUBLIC DISCUSSION: IN OPPOSITION: John Burke, 649 South Carleton, across the street. At the last Planning Commission meeting he and his wife were falsely accused by Mrs. Berryman, the agent who actually represented the Ulloas, with having ethnic prejudices. He did not respond thinking that no one would take her seriously. One of the Planning Commission members repeated the accusations after the public comments were closed and tried to convince the other Commissioners to grant the variance on the basis that they were anti-Hispanic. Nothing could be farther from the truth. He then explained his community involvement especially on behalf of the Hispanic community. 433 95 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1. 1990. 5:30 P.M. IN OPPOSITION: IN OPPOSITION: Last fall there were many cars parked on and near the property in question as well as construction equipment. The number of cars have been reduced and construction equipment is no longer in evidence and the property looks better than it has in years. He is happy to have the Ulloas as neighbors. The real issue is whether or not the City will create a precedent by granting a variance which will allow auxiliary living quarters in an area where there currently exists no such variance. It would allow others to do the same, condemning the neighborhood just as in other parts of the City. If the property is sold, the variance goes with the property. He urged the Council to ratify the decision of the Planning Commission for the same reasons they rejected it and for the same reasons the City has a code in the first place. George Sbardellati, 627 Carleton. The owner has nine rentals in Anaheim. He and his real estate man got together on this. They are both sophisticated and know what they are doing. He believes they are trying to get away with something. This should not be approved. Cornelia Coggeshall, 640 North Carleton. The request is to use the home as they see fit for their own family and they are not asking to turn it into a rental. Only one family wants to use it. If approved, when the house is sold, there will be a duplex on their street. She suggests that they give permission for this family to use it for the family but when the house is sold, that the refrigerator and stove be removed. Phil Carlson, 645 Carleton, across the street. The parking and property has improved, the question being will there be a change to a rental property. It may not be the owner's intention but he could move his family out and rent the room for extra income. He suggested at the Planning Commission meetings that the Code be changed so that a special needy family could use the property with proper safeguards. The property was being rented before. The property has turned into a rental and the enforcement problems go along with that. Frank Yurohara, 601 North Dwyer Drive. If the variance is allowed, everyone else will want to do the same thing. It should be turned down. Paul Kott, 504 North State College Boulevard. He is not saying he is in favor or in opposition. He takes exception to remarks made by Mr. Sbardellati implying that there was some inpropriety between the real estate agent and the owner of the property. Wally Courtney is associated with his office 434 Cit~ Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1, ~990, 5;30 and he is going above and beyond the call of duty on the Ulloas' behalf. The testimony by some of the people opposed have stated that the property has been improved from what it used to be. The room has been a rental for the last nine years illegally and he assures some of the neighbors will say they knew it to be so. Now that some individual would like to come in and legalize it for his own family, the penalty is coming into play. He believes there could be a compromise. Henry Ulloa. He is the owner. He is not looking for a rental unit. It is foolish for anyone to believe he would spend $300,000 for the property to have a small rental room in the back that would bring in minimal rent with the inconvenience of having strangers on his property. His son is buying a house right now and will be there for about another year. His daughter may then move in to take care of the child. His grandson has been awarded to him by the court. That is why he bought the property. He thought it was legal. He does not like the way he has been treated by the neighbors. Jo Berryman, 801 South Brookhurst. Mr. Ulloa bought the property under the impression that his extended family could live there legally. Code Enforcement has descended on the family and have harassed them from the day they moved in and are still doing so. She did not know there was a rental in the back. After trying to comply with all the rules imposed upon him, Mr. Ulloa has actually been defeated by a hostile neighborhood that does not understand the situation. She feels they have been stampeded by one person who has gone around the neighborhood with a petition saying that it was going to change the area to R2. It is not the way to change zoning in Anaheim. She asked that the Council give the Ulloas a variance for 7 years. She then clarified for Councilwoman Kaywood that she sold the house to Mr. Ulloa and the reason she is involved emotionally, she has seen the Ulloas harassed and persecuted. The house was searched three times by Code Enforcement. Mayor Hunter. The real issue is whether or not there should be a granny unit granted in a residential area. The peripheral matters are not focusing on the issue - whether or not to allow a 397 square foot accessory unit on the property as a living area. Henry Ulloa. He then explained the times Code Enforcement representatives came to his home to check his house because people had complained that 20 people were living there. They came back three times and also took pictures in his home. When they came a fourth time he told them that was the last time they can come into his house. 435 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1. 1990. 5:30 P.M. John Poole, Code Enforcement Manager. The reason they took photos, there were complaints that kept being made and they had to substantiate those one way or the other. Code Enforcement did not find overcrowding but found conditions that he would think would be upsetting to the neighborhood when the Ulloas first moved in but part of that was caused by construction and a lot of vehicles. They have since turned things around. He takes exception to the fact that Mrs. Berryman stated they were harassing anyone. They do not do that but take a humanistic approach to all Code Enforcement. This is a difficult situation and the Mayor has outlined it very well. The point is whether they want three people to live in a less than 400 square foot unit in single family property, not about Code Enforcement procedures. It is a land use issue and nothing else. Councilman Ehrle. He asked the City Attorney to give a brief legal description of the granny unit; City Attorney White confirmed that this particular application does not come under the granny unit provisions. It is a request for a variance from requirements in the subject zone. IN OPPOSITION: Bill Gebhardt. His mother lives immediately next door at 650 North Carleton where he had lived up to two years ago for 29 years. Mr. Ulloa is a sophisticated investor who owns a number of properties. He should be sophisticated enough to know the rulings that 379 square feet is not legal living space. It does not even meet the requirement of what the government considers a sleeping room. Mostly the neighbors are concerned about property values going down if it has the inkling of an R-2 property multiple family dwelling. He empathizes with the family but the concern is for the neighborhood. SUMMATION BY APPLICANT: Wally Courtney. He is aware Code Enforcement does not harass citizens of Anaheim. They may have unwillingly been cooperating with the neighborhood who took turns calling Code Enforcement out to the property. As mentioned, the rumpus room was actually being illegally rented several years prior to the Ulloas buying the property but the neighbors did not complain. The Ulloas moved in and Code Enforcement was called out four times. One possible solution is to approve the CUP or variance which would then expire at a specified time or date thereby alleviating the neighbors concern that it may turn into a rental unit. COUNCIL ACTION: Mayor Hunter closeu the public hearing. 436 94 City Hall. Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1, 1990, 5;30 P,M, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION: On motion by Councilman Hunter, seconded by Councilman Pickler, the City Council ratified the determination of the City Engineer that the proposed activity falls within the definition of Section 3.01 Class 3, of the City of Anaheim guidelines to the requirements for an Environmental Impact Report and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the requirement to file an EIR. MOTION CARRIED. WAIVER OF READING RESOLUTION: The title of the following resolution was read by the City Clerk. (Resolution No. 90R-148) Councilman Hunter moved to waive the reading in full of the resolution. Councilman Daly seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 3241: OWNER: B.U. Patel and Loren Wagner 650 Town Center Drive Suite 190, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 AGENT: Farano and Kteviet 100 S. Anaheim Boulevard, Suite 340, Anaheim, CA 92805 LOCATION/REQUEST: The property is located at 201 West Katella Avenue. The request is to permit a 12-story, 384-unit hotel. ACTION T~KEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION: CUP No. 3241 granted (PC90-47), with modifications to Condition Nos. 8, 15, and 37, and deletion of Condition No. 9 (7 yes votes); approved Addendum to EIR No. 293, including Mitigation Monitoring Program. HEARING SET ON: A review of the Planning Commission's decision requested by Councilman Daly and Councilman Hunter at the meeting of March 20, 1990. This matter was continued from the meeting of April 17, 1990, to this date. 437 91 City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1. 1990, 5;30 PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY: Publication in Anaheim Bulletin April 5, 1990. Posting of property April 4, 1990. Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - April 6, 1990. PLANNING STAFF INPUT: See Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated February 26, 1990. An additional request for a one week continuance to May 8, 1990 was received from the agent, Farano & Klevtet. City Attorney White. In view of the action taken by the Council in adopting Ordinance No. 5126 for a period of 45 days which ordinance would not permit the approval of this conditional use permit at this time, it would be his recommendation, based on input from the attorney for the applicant, to either continue this for a period of not less than 45 days or to deny it on the basis that it does not comply with the interim ordinance now in effect. Councilman Hunter moved to continue the public hearing on Environmental Impact Report No. 293 (previously certified) and Conditional Use Permit No. 3241 for 45 days. Councilman Daly seconded the motion. Before action was taken, Tom Kieviet, Farano & Kieviet, attorney for the applicant, stated he was not sure he understands what staff will be coming back with in 30 days with regard to pending projects and if this would be one of the projects involved. Councilman Daly asked if there was any way to continue such matters less than 45 days. City Attorney White. The Council could continue the matter from week to week although it is cumbersome to do so. He suggests even if staff comes back with a report in 30 days, it is going to be very close to the, 45-day period before any action is taken on the existing ordinance. Putting the matter over to the closest meeting after the 45-day period, he feels would be the best that can be done at this time. He suggested that it be a date certain since no additional legal notices will be sent regarding the public hearing. Councilman Hunter modified his motion that the 45-day continuance be June 19, 1990 which is the closest date to that time period. A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED. 170/155; PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT TO CONDITION NO, 5 OF TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO 13997 AND MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION: REQUESTED BY: William R. Pearce, Hunt Enterprises, Inc. 12844 Inglewood Avenue, Hawthorne, CA 90250 LOCATION/REQUEST: The property is located at 400 West Wilken Way. At the August 1, 1989, City Council meeting, Tentative Tract No. 13997 together with 438 City Hal%. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May %, %990, 5;30 P.M. Conditional Use Permit No. 3168, and Reclassification No. 88-89-55 was granted by the Anaheim City Council to permit a 2-lot, 106-unit residential condominium complex, the first of 2-phases at 400 West Wilken Way. The applicant now requests reconsideration and/or possible amendment to Condition No. 5 of Tentative Tract No. 13997 which relates to construction of a standard cul-de-sac at the terminus of Wtllowbrook Lane. PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY: Publication in Anaheim Bulletin April 19, 1990. Posting of property April 26, 1990. Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - April 26, 1990. PLANNING STAFF INPUT: See Staff Report from the Planning Department dated April 24, 1990. Phil Schwartze, Agent. Mr. Gnotta, President of the Wtllowbrook Homeowners Association is also present to speak. The plan posted on the Chamber wall was that which was approved by the Council in April. It shows the extension of Willowbrook with a crash gate located at the end. They found as they were processing plans that there was a condition contained in the resolution which they somehow overlooked that required a full cul de sac to be located there. It is not their intention nor has it ever been to build a full cul de sac there. They are proposing a modified cul de sac. He has a copy of the plans with him. They have met with the Willowbrook Homeowners Group and have discussed this with them. They are in agreement with the modified cul de sac. Mayor Hunter asked for an update from staff. Art Daw, Deputy City Engineer. The matter was discussed with the Fire Department yesterday and they have no objection to a modified cul de sac. It would also be acceptable to the Engineering Department. Dave Gnotta, Smoketree, 2311 South Mlrna Court, Fresldent of the Homeowners Association. He has been made aware that the Council probably has received letters from different people. He had discussions with those people who did not quite understand what had happened. The bottom line is, eight months ago they were under the impression there was not going to be a cul de sac because there was no longer going to be an entrance at the subject location. That is fine with the homeowners. The concept of the modified cul de sac shown on the drawings Mr. Schwartze has, as opposed to what is on the Chamber wall, that is what the homeowners want and that is what the developer wants. 439 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1, 1990, 5;30 P.M. Fern Call. She owns property at 333 West Wtlken Way. She was present at the previous meeting. She was never notified subsequently and there was no postings on the street. She is the one the units are going to look down on. She does not understand the situation. Everything is "dumping" on Wtlken Way and there have been many terrible accidents there. The Council is only listening to the people from Smoketree and giving them everything they want. COUNCIL ACTION: There being no further persons who wished to speak either in favor or in opposition, Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION; On motion by Councilman Hunter, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the City Council does hereby approve a mitigated Negative Declaration on the subject project and accompanying Mitigation Monitoring Program pursuant to Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code on the basis that the Planning Commission/City Council has considered the proposal with the mitigated Negative Declaration and accompanying Monitoring Program, together with any comments received during the public review process and further finding on the basis of the Initial Study that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney White. The information he has is what is on the board right now does not show exactly the modification of the cul de sac. What is proposed that would be approved by this differs somewhat from the exhibit on the board. Art Daw. The modified cul de sac should have a minimum radius of 25 feet and that can be constructed within the existing 64-foot right-of-way. David Gnotta. He knows there was a dlseussion about the 25-£0ot radius but within the plan Mr. Schwartze has it provides for a 20-foot radius which would save them from getting involved in having to purchase some of their green belt area. He clarified for the Mayor that they would be happy with a 20-foot radius with landscaping. Art Daw. The 25-foot radius is set by maintenance as minimum that street sweepers can maneuver. There are many cars that cannot turn around on a 20-foot radius. Dave Gnotta. Essentially it is a dead end right now. There are five homes basically involved. They do not get very much traffic with a 440 City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 1, 1990, 5;30 P.M, maximum of three vehicles ever parked there. There is absolutely no problem turning around as it is. The street sweeper goes down there now. It misses sweeping in the corners but the residents have taken care of that problem themselves. There is a full-time person on site who sweeps out the corners. They are accepting responsibility for that. After a brief discussion between Council Members and staff on the issue, Councilman Hunter moved to approve an amendment to Condition No. 5 of Tentative Tract No. 13997 as follows: "That, as approved by the City Engineer, either: (a) A modified cul de sac having a twenty (20) foot radius shall be constructed at the northerly terminus of Willowbrook Lane; or (b) A standard cul de sac shall be constructed within the subject property in accordance with Engineering Department Standard Detail No. 107. Any gates to the subject proposal shall not be constructed within said cul de sac." Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. 179; EFFECT OF URGENCY ORDINANCE ON PLANNING COMMISSION INFORMATIONAL ITEMS; Councilwoman Kaywood. She questioned what action if any needed to be taken relative to Consent Calendar/Informational Items which may be subject to the urgency ordinance. City Attorney White. Ail of the items on this agenda would be subject to the provisions of the interim ordinance the Council adopted earlier this evening. If no action is taken by the Council on matters that would otherwise be subject to the interim ordinance and that ordinance expires at the end of 45 days, the item would automatically be approved and they could get a building permit and commence construction upon expiration of the 45 days. 179; ITEMS ~ - B9 FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 9. 1990 - INFORMJkTION ONLY - APPEAL PERIOD ENDS MAY 1, 1990; Bi, RECLASSIFICATION NO. 89-90-43.

Mr. John Swint explained that the project involved is outside the CR zone and not subject to the ordinance adopted. The project is a hotel and it will be a first class hotel. Councilman Daly asked how come these historically have been outside the CR area. Annika Santalahti. It is because it is south of Orangewood. Ail the area north of Orangewood is in the CR area. This is a few hundred feet away from Garden Grove City limits and not in the commercial-recreation area. If Council wished, they could direct staff to take a look at the situation and consider the CR area being expanded as well as the CR zone. All the motels south of Orangewood have been approved in connection with CUPs while with the CR area they previously were permitted uses. John Swint. Ail motels that are built south of Orangewood are all 10-foot setbacks off Harbor as opposed to 35 feet for the rest. Councilman Daly. That is why he is bringing it up. He is surprised to learn that Orangewood is the boundary. He feels CR area runs all the way into Garden Grove and to Chapman. The Council took no action on this item.
