The Imperial Highway Superstreet Study Project was started 5O5 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES May 22, 1990, 5:30 P.M. along with the Katella Superstreet Study (see presentation made to the Council by Mr. Rohani on April 24, 1990 - re: Katella Superstreet Project - initial findings). He explained the public participation program that had been completed thus far, with two additional public open houses scheduled for June 7 and June 14, 1990. They are making presentations to each City Council in order to receive input and comments relative to the preliminary improvement recommendations. Once received, they will be incorporated into the final report, which will be brought back to the Council in approximately two months, asking for approval of the report. He then introduced the project consultant, Rob McCann, LSA Associates. Rob McCann, LSA. They are approximately one half way through the twelve month study process. He then summarized the process up to this point, assisted by a representative of LSA, who displayed the exhibits which were referred to and briefed by Mr. McCann. (Also see Imperial Highway Superstreet Study - Technical Memorandum No. 3 - Alternatives Evaluation Executive Summary attached to which were figures 1 through 8, giving data on six lane and eight lane capacity assumptions in the forecast year of 2010, daily traffic volumes, intersection level of service, RR grade separations/elevated roadway at the intersection of Imperial Highway and Esperanza Road - Orangethorpe Avenue, existing level of service under the no project alternative and existing intersection level of service with Phase I improvements - made a part of the record). He briefed each of the figures/exhibits presented. In looking at the year 2010 projections, out of the 25 intersections involved withfn the study area, 20 are projected to operate at a deficient level of service. The intersections in Anaheim are all forecast to exceed levels of service. Under the six lane arterial highway alternative, it will change the level of service from "red" to "green", but with problematic areas such as at the intersection of Orangethorpe/Esperanza and Santa Ana Canyon Road. They then came up with an option that would satisfy the year 2010 demand, an eight lane alternative within the Imperial Highway corridor. The grade separation at Orangethorpe/Esperanza would be the concept of an overpass. In terms of long term recommendations, the section of Imperial north of Esperanza is the shortest freeway in California and they are recommending it be widened from the existing two lanes to four lanes, which would occur within the existing right-of-way. In concluding his presentation, Mr. McCann stated the preliminary recommendations they are presenting at this time have been submitted to staff as part of the technical memorandum on the study. Once they receive comments back from the Cities, Caltrans and the public, they will be coming back before the Council in July or August for an action on the recommendations. The specific recommendations they have at this time are two, the first being for all the cities to upgrade Imperial Highway to an eight lane superstreet on the cities circulation element, which would also be made on the county master plan and secondly, to begin to initiate the environmental and design work necessary, leading to the construction of Phase I improvements as exhibited. Mr. Rohani then answered questions posed by Councilwoman Kaywood. He also explained that the two projects (Imperial and Katella) are joined by the 506 City Hal%, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 22. 1990, 5;30 Moulton Parkway Superstreet Study. Towards the end of the year all three will be completed. The Commission will then select one of the three projects early next year for funding. Assuming they do not get any additional sources of funding, that is the picture. If they do receive additional funding, they can proceed with possibly two of the projects, or all three. It depends on which projects are selected. If Imperial is selected there will be additional funds because it is a state highway. Not all of the money need be in place now, but they can start with the phasing process, then build up to what is needed. MINUTES; Approval of the minutes was deferred to the next regular meeting.

Roll Call Vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT; COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Daly,' Ehrle, Kaywood, Pickler and Hunter None None The Mayor declared Resolution No. 90R-174 duly passed and adopted. Motions Carried. 511 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 22, 1990, 5:30 P.M. END OF CONSENT CALENDAR. A29. 127/142; PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENTS SECTIONS 500, 501, 510, 515, 518 AND 502: Approving (revising) wording for the proposed charter amendments and corresponding ballot language; and directing that these amendments be placed in the resolution for submission to the voters of the City of Anaheim at the General Municipal Election to be held on November 6, 1990. This matter was continued from the meeting of May 15, 1990 to this date for full Council action. Submitted was joint report dated May 10, 1990, from the City Attorney, Jack White and City Clerk, Leonora Sohl. MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved that all of the items submitted at this time be placed on the November, 1990 ballot, to be approved by the citizens, as they are written. Councilman Daly seconded the motion. Before action was taken, Councilman Ehrle stated that Councilman Daly had indicated that there should be some discussion about the CPI (Consumer Price Index) in the recommendation relative to Council salaries. Councilman Daly. It is his preference to move forward with the package as presented and get ready to act on the next group of amendments. He had talked to Councilman Ehrle about the salary proposal and felt the Council should consider the automatic CPI adjustment as a separate item. He supports the Committee's basic recommendation, but is uncomfortable asking the voters to authorize an automatic cost of living adjustment - either drop the language entirely or make it a separate ballot measure. They have a few months to discuss this as well as the other amendments. Rather than getting bogged down today, he feels they should authorize the language as is and then revisit it along with the rest of the package. Councilwoman Kaywood. She suggested that it be considered at this time because leaving the difficult ones to the end involves major meetings. She asked the City Attorney with regard to General Law Cities, how the salary provision is worded. City Attorney Jack White. There is a provision in the Government Code that sets the maximum amount of compensation for General Law City Council Members, based upon a sliding scale and total population. He does not have that information with him. Councilwoman Kaywood. She feels it best to get that information along with the text and remove the proposed Charter Amendment on the salaries and discuss that at the next meeting. The easiest way might be to pay in accordance with the same procedures permitted for General Law Cities. Mayor Hunter. He feels it might be confusing to the voters and feels that they will understand CPI better. Most people do not know the difference between General Law and Charter Cities. 512 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 22. 1990. 5:30 P,M, Councilman Ehrle. He ~feels the Charter Review Committee has done a good job. Reading through the minutes he noted that there was a higher salary figure discussed, but the Committee finally settled on the $1,200 figure. The Committee was conservative and rightly so. Anaheim is the ninth largest City in the State and the Council salary is $400 a month and the Mayor $800 a month. He then relayed salary figures of Council members in other cities in California, noting again that the figure that the Committee recommended is conservative compared to similar cities in California with like responsibilities. He has no problem with putting the amendment on the ballot as is, however, perhaps they should take one more look at the CPI. MOTION - CHARTER AMENDMENTS; Councilman Daly thereupon moved to approve all of the amendments under Group I Technical Corrections, Nos. 1 through 5, Sections 500, 501, 510, 515 and 518 as submitted under joint memorandum dated May 10, 1990 from the City Attorney/City Clerk, except the proposed amendment under Group II - Substantive Amendments, No. 17, Section 502, Council salaries and that issue be continued and considered with the next group of Charter Amendments to be presented to the Council. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. 179: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN APPEAL OF THE MORATORIUM ORDINANCE (ORDINANCE NO. 5126) WITH REGARD TO BUILDING PERMIT #30970 AND SIGN PERMIT #32227; The location of the property is 601 West Ball Road. The appeal was to consider the request of the property owner for an exemption from the provisions of Ordinance No. 5126 prohibiting certain uses of property which may be in conflict with a zoning proposal the City Council is considering or studying. Submitted was joint report from the City Attorney and Planning Director, dated May 17, 1990, recommending that the Council deny the subject appeal. Mayor Hunter opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak either in favor or in opposition; No one was present to speak to the appeal. COUNCIL ACTION; Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing. MOTION; Councilman Hunter moved to deny the subject appeal on the grounds that neither the building permit nor any other entitlement for the project was exercised, nor was the right of development otherwise legally vested prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 5126, and that said decision be based upon the findings of fact as set forth in memorandum dated May 17, 1990 form the City Attorney/Planning Director, items one through five on pages one and two of the memorandum. Councilman Daly seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED . 123: SALE OF JOLLY ROGER INN; City Attorney White announced the necessity to act on an off agenda item. He explained that the City owns a portion of the property adjacent to the Anaheim Convention Center on which part of the Jolly Roger Inn is constructed, and leases to the current owner. Yesterday he received a request in written form to approve the assignment of the existing 513 9.1 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES May 22, 1990, 5:30 P.M. lease from the current owner to the proposed owner, ETC Anaheim. He was also advised as of yesterday that it is proposed that the escrow on the sale of the Jolly Roger would close on June 1, 1990. Since no Council meeting is scheduled next week, this would mean escrow would not be able to close if the assignment was not approved tonight. He has reviewed the proposed assignment and it does not change the terms of the existing lease on the property. He recommends Council approval, but prior to doing so, a four fifths vote or greater is needed to take action, due to the reasons enumerated, which arose since the 72 hour posting of the agenda as required by the Brown Act. MOTION; Councilman Hunter moved to waive the 72 hour posting provisions of the Brown Act. Councilman Daly seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. MOTION; Councilman Hunter moved to approve the assignment of the lease agreement between the City of Anaheim and Richard E. Duffy and Margaret A. Duffy to ETC Anaheim, relating to the sale of the Jolly Roger Inn to ETC, and authorizing and directing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Assignment, Assumption and Consent on behalf of the City.

C1, 162/150; CANYON HILLS COMMUNITY COUNCIL - ANNUAL JULY 4TH FESTIVAL - REQUEST FOR FUNDING SUPPORT; To consider a request from Canyon Hills Community Council for City Council contingency funds, in the amount of $2,500 in support of the annual July 4th festival. Submitted was report dated May 11, 1990 from Chris Jarvl, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services recommending that the Council consider the request from the Canyon Hills Community Council for Council contingency funds in the amount of $2,500. MOTION: Councilman Hunter moved to approve the request from Canyon Hills Community Council for City Council contingency funds in the amount of $2,500 in support of the annual July 4th festival. Councilman Ehrle seconded the motion. Before a vote was taken, Councilman Daly asked for clarification of some of the dollar figures given in the staff report. 523 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES May 22, 1990, 5:30 P,M. Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services. The Canyon Hills Community Council last year received $5,000 in advance from the City. The cost of City services exceeded the' $5,000 and they paid for all City services. They gave back more than $5,000. Immediately following the festival, the Committee reimbursed the City for all event-related expenses. Terry Lowe, Recreation Services Manager. Last year the Council granted $5,000 from the Council contingency fund to support the event. The Community Council was billed for all City services and they paid that back. It exceeded the $5,000 but they did not pay the seed money back. That was a gift of the City Council and they paid for all City services connected with that which slightly exceeded $5,000. Councilman Daly. He surmised that the net cost to the City was $5,000 and this year's proposal is $2,500 under the same assumptions. Terry Lowe. It is anticipated that City costs will be just over $7,000. The Community Council is asking for $2,500. Mary Castle, Chairman, Canyon Hills Community Council. She reported for Councilwoman Kaywood that they raised approximately $16,000 at their recent fund raiser auction. Councilman Pickler. If the Community Council raised $16,000, he asked why they needed additional funds. Mary Castle. The reason they need the money is to show City faith in the project in the hills area. The City has never put on a major function in the hills area and it is important for the citizens in that area to realize the City is behind them, they are working with the City and getting the City support. At this point, they have not made their budget with the money they made on the auction. They need a reserve for next year as well. They will not know their expenses until after the event. They need to have a cushion. Councilman Pickler. If the Community Council does not need the money, he feels there are plenty of places where it could be spent. The Community Council already has the support of City staff. He asked if they did not need the funds, would they return those funds to the City. He would like to see the City get the money back where it can be used in other areas of need. Mary Castle. That question has not come up. If it is not used, they would like to use it for reserve for next year. If it is stipulated that it be returned, then they will do so. Her understanding is that the Cineo de Mayo Fiesta Committee uses the money they receive from the City for scholarships. The Community Council would also like to do the same type of philanthropic things in the hill and canyon area. For instance, there are a lot of homeless people in Featherly Park. It is something they are looking into and considering. It would be nice if the Council would put faith in the Community Council to put that excess money into the community, into Featherly Park or where the Community Council sees the need. They will give the money back if asked to do so. 524 lZ City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 22, 1990, 5:30 P.M. Councilwoman Kaywood. Her understanding relative to Cinco de Mayo is that the moneyis an up front loan and that they have always paid it back from the events that raise money. She would like a confirmation of that. What concerns her is that every group that has an event will want to come in and vie with each other. There is no way that the City budget can be spread to take care of all the requests. It would be a never ending cycle. Chris Jarvi. The Cinco de Mayo Fiesta is slightly different. The money given by the City this year was a $5,000 gift to them. In most years, the City has been able to recover expenses for the event through the running of the carnival. The City runs the carnival and recoups most of the money. If there was bad weather, the City could fall short. The City did recoup all costs including the $5,000 this year. The money is not given as a loan but as a gift and then recouped through another vehicle. Mayor Hunter. Last year the Community Council asked for $5,000 and this year they are asking for $2,500. As the parade becomes more successful, he doubts if the Community Council will continue to come to the City. He feels this ought to be looked at as a gift also. There was general Council consensus that it be a gift just as in the past. A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED. ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST: Bill Ericson, 301 East North Street. He reported that last Saturday with approximately 100 volunteers, 30,000 square feet of graffiti was painted over/eradicated in a three hour period using 55 gallons of paint. He named the areas of the City that were involved and noted also that a number of citations were issued as well. Sixty gallons of paint were also donated to Code Enforcement from Spray On, a subsidiary of Sherman-Williams as well as other accessories. Joe White, 809 West Broadway. He again invited the Council to the corner of Broadway and Citron Street to look at the work being done by City crews which he felt was not in the best interests of the City. Ruth Good, 1359 Sherrill Street, Anaheim, 92804. She lives in west Anaheim where many apartments have been asked for, planned, partially built and/or built. She is on the Magnolia School Board and they are in the process of studying year-round education because there are so many children in their district schools. She understands the apartments that were started a year or two ago on the corner of Ball and Dale are about to be finished. When they are, it is going to impact some of their schools. There were also condominiums proposed to be built on Volare and Orange. The last time she spoke before the Council when the project was discussed, it was suggested to the builder that he downgrade the project to 12 to 15 units. They are now back to 20 units. Also where the Heritage Apartments are located at 425 North Magnolia, the owners there want to build 336 apartments instead of 525 9 City Hall, Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES - May 22, 1990, 5;30 P,M. 128. They do not need any more apartments. She mentioned she would like to see a moratorium on apartment building especially in West Anaheim. She wants to see a slowdown of so many apartments. More than one half of the dwelling units in the Magnolia School District are apartments. They do not need any more. There is no place any more where people can live for a reasonable amount of money. They would like the Council to give direction to the Planning Commission to slow down or stop the apartment building. Bob Carter, 513 South Aaron. He is the representative of a group of approximately 2,000 residents in the west Anaheim area - the Orange Avenue Group. He wants to make an official request on behalf of those people that the City Council do something to downzone their area in a similar fashion to what is being done in the central Anaheim area. They would like the downzoning extended as far west as Anaheim City limits. Joel Fick, Planning Director. The City has looked at all the parcels from State College Boulevard all the way to the west City limits. As part of the comprehensive housing study that Council reviewed, a number of general plans have been initiated and in excess of 300 acres have already been acted upon by the Planning Commission and the Council and addressed through the overall studies to determine more realistic densities for the neighborhoods. As part of the housing study, the staff has looked at all properties designated on the General Plan for Medium Density or zoned RM-1200 from State College Boulevard all the way to the western City limits. Mayor Hunter. Most of the downzoning has occurred in central Anaheim and one tonight was in south Anaheim. He believes they are to revisit some of those areas in the western portion of the City. He referred to the magnitude of the projects proposed - some 300 units, 100 units, and what effect and impact such projects have on City services. The western portion of the City is where most of the apartments are and are continuing to be built even at a faster rate than he anticipated. Anything that is RM-1200 and RM-2400 the developers keep coming in wanting density bonuses and variances. They need to look at West Anaheim because he feels it is overbuilt with apartments and it has to slow down. They are to give direction to the Planning Commission that there be no more variances or reclassifications and to put the brakes on the west end of the City relative to allowing additional apartments. Councilman Pickler suggested that a report be submitted by the Planning Department to the Council relative to the situation. Planning Director Fick stated that staff can look at the issue and submit a report to the Council with some suggestions as to options. Councilman Daly. He suggested that staff compile all the downzonings done to date into a package and share the package with Mrs. Good and Mr. Carter so that he can review it with the Orange Avenue group, parcel by parcel. There have been about 25 different downzoning actions in the past six months. 526 10 City Hall. AnaheSm, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 22. 1990. 5:30 P.M. Bob Carter. In the City of Anaheim approximately 50% of all available housing is rentals and almost 25 to 30% of those are in the west Anaheim area. It is overwhelming. The traffic and crime rate is getting worse. Some of his neighbors are afraid to come out of their houses. People have even been run over while walking on the sidewalks. Councilman Daly interjected and expressed concern that Mr. Carter was unfair in implying all the problems are due to apartment dwellers and that there should not be any more apartments. The Council frequently turns down developers' proposals for apartments and has been encouraging ownership developments. After further Council discussion on the issue, Councilman Pickler stated he does not want to give the Planning Commission any direction. They are doing their job. In finality, the Council sets policy. Councilman Ehrie. He would never vote for a moratorium or vote against apartments or condominiums but would vote for quality projects. The Council looks at projects on a case-by-case basis. What the Council can do, and is doing, is looking closely at new properties that come before them. Ruth Good. She is not intimating that no downzoning has taken place. The reason she is present, most of the developers say they are going to be downzoning but subsequently ask for variances to be upzoned. She wants the Council to make sure the downzonings are not upgraded through subsequent actions. Leopoldo Gonzalez. Almost a year ago they started seeing a lot of people dealing drugs in his neighborhood. He has called the police and called the narcotics division but they do not see that anything has been done to help. He called the City last week and was told the situation would again be reported to the police. Every day the situation is worse. He has a family and is very concerned. No one will call the police because they are afraid. The people broke his windows and tried to rob his car and they told his wife if they called the police again, they will be in trouble. They said they will kill her if they call again. That is why he is present. Mayor Hunter asked Mr. Gonzalez to give his name and phone number to a staff person and somebody from the Police Department/Narcotics Bureau will contact him. ADJOURNMENT: Councilman Hunter moved to adjourn. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (7:35 p.m.) LEONORA N. SOHL, CITY CLERK 527
