End of Consent Calendar. MOTIONS CARRIED.
185: ESTABLISHMENT OF POLICY REGARDING MELLO-ROOS FINANCING FOR EAST ANAHEIM
RANCH DEVELOPMENTS; Memorandum report dated October 25, 1988, was submitted
by the Staff Task Force evaluating the feasibility and desirability of
Mello-Roos Financing for three ranch developments in East Anaheim Hills,
requesting policy and direction for such financing for revenue shortfall.
Councilman Bay recalled that during the hearings on development of Sycamore
Canyon, The Highlands at Anaheim Hills and The Summit of Anaheim Hills, there
was a potential shortfall for construction of the infrastructure to serve the
area, due to the fact that no shopping center development had been started, as
projected. Since that time, some shortfall had been found involving usage of
Santa Aha Canyon Road and Serrano Avenue, as well as the establishment of a
police substation. He pointed out that the developers have requested a
continuance of this policy discussion.
Gouncilman Pickler stated that if developers of subject property saw a need
for more communication with staff, they should be given that opportunity.
Councilman Ehrle concurred, and moved for a 30-day continuance. Councilman
Hunter seconded the motion, noting that at this time he did not have
sufficient information to discuss this issue; he would like to review
additional reports and information in order to determine other experience with
Mello-Roos in Orange County.
Councilwoman Kaywood expressed concern that this issue should be discussed
today, noting the length of time spent by staff. She felt that to use
Mello~Roos financing would constitute double taxation for new residents coming
into the area.
Councilman Bay spoke against the motion to continue. He advised that all
Anaheim Hills development has had conditions which include developers picking
up the cost of the infrastructure in these new areas; this has been the basic
1015
233
City Hall, Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES - November 1, 1988, 6:30 P.M~
policy everywhere in the City for new developments. The revenue from the
planned shopping center would have been a great help toward paying these
costs, but that has not yet come about. Acceleration of the Serrano
extension, and the added costs for Santa Aha Canyon Road improvements east of
Imperial Highway were added into the structural costs. He is opposed to
removing these costs from the developers and placing them into a tax structure
over the next thirty years. He noted that his idea had been a five to seven
year assessment to handle the shortfall. He is firmly opposed to placement of
these infrastructure costs into the Mello-Roos financing, with tax bills for
new residents being raised up to $2,000 per year or more.
Responding to Councilwoman Kaywood, City Manager, Bob Simpson reported that
discussions between staff and the developers had been ongoing for some time.
He noted that there would have to be a scheduled public hearing in order to
create a Mello-Roos District; today's Agenda item is merely a request for
policy guidance.
Councilman Pickler stated he had no quarrel with the financing; the key was
the tax rate the City would be charging in the areas, and Mello-Roos financing
was one of the alternatives he would be considering.
Councilman Bay stated that 1.05% was the average City property tax rate, and
the raze for the shortfall would be an additional assessment. The figures
appear in the submitted staff report.
The City Attorney clarified that a public hearing would be required in order
to acoDt the Mello-Roos financing, and the tax rate would be established at
that time. If action was taken tonight to not go forward, then no public
hearing would be required.
At the conclusion of further Council discussion, Councilman Ehrle restated his
motion to continue discussion on the proposed financing policy and direction
for four weeks (November 29, 1988, 1:30 P.M.), for additional input.
Councilman Hunter seconded the motion. To this motion, Councilmembers Bay and
Kaywood voted "No". MOTION CARRIED.
109/150/181; INSTITUTE OF MUSEUM SERVICES - GRANT APPLICATION; Memorandum
Report dated October 31, 1988, was submitted by Christopher K. Jarvi, Director
of Farks, Recreation and Gommunity Services, recommending approval of a
General Operating Support Grant Application for Oak Canyon Nature Center,
submitted by the Institute of Museum Services in the amount of $29,600.00.
On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Ehrle, the Anaheim
City Council determined that the need to act on the following item arose after
the posting of the agenda for this meeting, on Friday, October 28, 1988, at
11:45 a.m.; and consequently waived the Brown Act requirement relative to
posting the item on the printed agenda. MOTION CARRIED.
In accordance with the recommendation by the Director of Parks, Recreation and

CABLE TV) - CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISE: Finding that the City Manager's
imposition of sanctions regarding M.L. Media Partenrs, L.P. (MulttVision Cable
Television) telephone accessibility performance was warranted and determining
that no sanctions be imposed due to compliance with franchise standards. This
matter was continued from the meeting of August 30, 1988, to this date.
Councilman Bay noted that the public input relating to this issue had been
received at the August 30th meeting and the hearing closed; he thereupon moved
that the City Council find the imposition of sanctions against ML Media
Partners, L.P. (MultiVision Cable Television) telephone accessibility
performance by the City Manager was warranted, due to the deterioration of
telephone service, and that the City Council determine that no further
sanctions be imposed, as recommended in the Staff Report dated October 26,
1988, by the Intergovernmental Relations Officer; however, if the telephone
service again deteriorates to a point where that first action to sanction must
be taken, ML Media Partners be billed for the cost of staff services to go
through the resulting investigation.
It was suggested by the City Attorney that the last portion of the motion
pertaining to billing for staff costs be deleted, since any further
proceedings involving the cable television service company would be based on
the evidence to be presented at a subsequent hearing.
Councilman Bay indicated his willingness to withdraw that portion of his
motion.
Intergovernmental Relations Officer, Kristine Thalman reported that ML Media
Partners telephone statistics had substantially improved to the point of
meeting time limit goals for response 100% of the time for the period of

designated Open Space on the General Plan for tennis courts, and
Parcel 3 had been shown as Open Space, on the condition that the
horse trails on both parcels remain as a consideration. No
homeowners' association is being formed and it was the opinion
of the developer that horse trails were not applicable for this
particular location due to the cost of maintenance.
The developers would like to retain the Open Space designation
for Parcel 2 to remain as a tennis club; however that zoning
would not allow for any type of housing for a security guard.
In response to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Trider
pointed out that use of the horse trails would require riders to
cross too many streets; further, the location of the trails
would require an awkward layout.
STAFF INPUT:
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Gary Johnson pointed out
that the riding trail was shown as a component of the City's
General Plan, and was included as a condition of Tentative
Parcel Map 88-335. A ten-foot trail and easement was to be
dedicated as a covenant against the property to maintain and
repair the trail. Condition No. 2 on the tentative map was
standard for Anaheim Hills developments and if this was not
covered by a homeowners' association the City would establish a
means to accomplish that with the help of legal counsel.
City Attorney Jack White explained that if Parcel 2 were created
under existing zoning, uses would be allowable that would not be
consistent with the Open Space designation under the General
Plan. The tennis club use was permissible under the Open Space
zoning designation.
Responding to question by Councilman Hunter, the City Attorney
acknowledged that there was no way to prohibit a subsequent
owner's making a request for a different zone classification to
allow another use. If a covenant were required on Parcels 2 and
3 to retain them as open space, in accordance with the existing
use on Parcel 2, that would remain in effect until the City
acted to change it, and the owner of Parcel 2 would have to make
such a request.
FINAL STATEMENT BY APPLICANT:
Mr. Trider stated that the developers did not want to restrict
their property by placing a covenant against it.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor B~y closed the public hearing.

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; Councilman Bay moved that Tentative Parcel Map No. 88-335 be denied,
based on the following findings:
1. Proposed Parcels 2 and 3 consisting of approximately 12.34
acres are designated as "Open Space" on the General Plan. Such
designation was approved by the City with the concurrence of the
property owner in connection with the approval of Conditional
Use Permit No. 2809 to allow a llS-unit three-story senior
citizens' apartment project on the southerly 5.3 acres of the
property.
2. The purpose of the "Open Space" designation in the General
Plan is to specify areas which should remain open for (1) the
preservation of natural resources; (2) the managed production of
resources including food and fiber; (3) outdoor recreation and
the engagement of scenic beauty; and (4) the public's health,
safety and welfare.
3. The underlying zoning on the property is RS-A-43,000(SC)
which would permit construction of a single-family residence on
each proposed additional parcel if the subdivision is approved.
4. Such development or improvements would not be compatible
with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs
specified in the General Plan for property designated as Open
Space.
Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED.

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Diana Hoard, 16811 Hale Avenue, Irvine, California 92714,
representing the owner, narrated a brief slide presentation and
advised that plans presented for The Summit of Anaheim Hills
Planned Community now conformed more closely to the topography
in the area, and would create oak woodlands. The Development
Agreement had been amended and re-stated, resulting in 2,117
units at the present time. The original projected number of
units would still be honored in developer fees, which had
included the widening of Santa Ana Canyon Road.
STAFF INPUT:
Planning Director, Joel Fick reported that a fiscal report had
been submitted for informational purposes by staff, and meetings
had been held with the developers. In this type of project,
experience often reflected costs that exceeded revenues; however
when full build-out was achieved, revenues would exceed costs.
The impact of the reduction of unit numbers was difficult to
project over an estimated twenty years, however the negative
impact was being addressed.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN OPPOSITION:
None.
1025
223
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 1, 1988, 6:30 P.M.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN FAVOR: Bryan Crow, Pastor of the Garden Church, 113 Orange Hill Lane,
Anaheim, advised that the church shared a 500 to 600 foot common
border with subject property, as well as a common concern
regarding the stability of that area, the proposed drainage of
slopes in that area, and the height elevation of the houses that
back up to the garden. The church conducted some outdoor
worship activities, which might be a consideration when the
developers are planning homes at the top of the slope.
FINAL SUI~TION BY APPLICANT:
Ms. Hoard stated that the reduction of units enabled the
developers to utilize more detached dwelling units on the
easterly portion of the property where attached units were
previously projected. In turn, this offset some of the revenue
loss, since the 5,000-6,000 square-foot detached homes would
sell for higher prices than town homes.
Ms. Hoard indicated that she understood the concerns expressed
by Pastor Crow, and advised that the developer had now received
additional geological and soil information which was allowing
them to do a better-informed redesign of the project. It was
their intent to continue working with Pastor Crow in an effort
to mitigate any problems.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Bay closed the public hearing.
SUPPLEMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO, 281; Councilwoman Kaywood moved
to approve Supplement to Environmental Impact Report No. 281 which addresses
the environmental impacts associated with General Plan Amendment No. 244,
Specific Plan no. 88-2, and Development Agreement No. 88-03 (Amendment No. 1)
as recommended by the City Planning Commission. Councilman Pickler seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer. He recommended a wording change to Condition
No. 27 of Planning Commission Resolution No. PC88-282 dealing with capacity of
the intersection of Weir Canyon and Santa Ana Canyon Road which does restrict
some of the development prior to construction of the Eastern Transportation
Corridor. The recommended wording is to the effec~ that the vesting tentative
maps that have been approved will be excluded from consideration; Ms. Hoard
agreed.
Planning Director, Joel Fick recommended and suggested that the final
resolution include the findings and recommendations of the Planning
Commission. This inclusion would clarify several issues in the resolution.

REQUEST/LOCATION: For a change in zone from RM-1200, RM-2400 and PD-C to
PD-C/RM-2400. The subject properties consist of certain lots flanking those
commercial lots fronting on North Anaheim Boulevard between La Palma Avenue
and Cypress Street and further described as follows: (a) 31 lots on east side
of Zeyn Street, beginning 2 lots south of La Palma Avenue and extending to
Wilhelmina Street (currently zoned RM-2400). (b) 2 lots on south side of
Sycamore Street just easterly of intersection of Zeyn Street and 1 lot
immediately south of the 2 lots, which fronts in Adele Street (currently zoned
PD-C). (c) 4 lots on north side of Cypress Street located between 2 alleys
between Anaheim Boulevard and Lemon Street (currently zoned PD-C). (d) 8 lots
on west side of Claudina Street, beginning 1 lot south of La Palma Avenue and
extending to a public alley plus 1 lot facing Mills Drive, which is 1 lot west

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Resolution No. PC88-275 denied Reclassification
No. 88-89-11; approved Negative Declaration.
HEARING SET ON:
A Review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested by Councilman
Bay and Councilman Pickler at the meeting of October 11, 1988 and public
hearing scheduled this date.
PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY:
Publication in Anaheim Bulletin October 20, 1988.
Posting of property October 21, 1988.
Mailing to property owners within 300 feet October 21, 1988.
PLANNING STAFF INPUT:
See Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated September 26, 1988.
Councilman Bay stated that his motion to review this reclassification and
negative declaration was not an attempt to overrule action taken by the
Planning Commission. Some time ago, the City Council voted to down-zone
RM2400 areas east of Anaheim Boulevard; there were two remaining parcels zoned
PD-C/RM-1200 within the area under consideration, and he wanted an opportunity
to make a recommendation that these two areas be reclassified to PD-C RM-2400,
in order to make the planned zoning consistent with the area.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION/CONCERNS:
Keith Olesen, 332 N. Philadelphia Street.
Those present at the hearing fully supported the action taken by
the City Planning Commission, to study and rezone those
properties not being utilized for parking purposes. The
Commission stated that they did not want to rezone properties to
1028
222
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES November 1, 1988, 6;30 P,M.
PD-C/RM-2400, but they directed staff to study the possibility
of carrying forward those PD-C properties with RM-1200 to
RM-2400, without the PD-C designation. Area residents want to
retain those lots are not being used for parking as
residential. Although the intent was more consistent zoning,
there was no mention in the reports regarding the elimination of
the PD-C Zone; and he felt there were other alternatives for
solving the problems. Parking lots should be located on Anaheim
Boulevard and not in the residential areas.
Sally Horton, 226 N. Claudina Street, Anaheim.
Requested clarification of the proposed changes and the zones
discussed, voicing her opposition and the area's main concern
that no additional residences get turned into PD-C/RM-2400
zoning.
William H. Koon, 821 N. Lemon Street, Anaheim.
Stated that it was his contention that the existing Anaheim
Boulevard parking was under-utilized; during a walk through the
six-block area on September 19th at approximately 1:00 p.m., he
found 198 available parking spaces with only 95 being used, many
of which were occupied by debris, garbage and inoperable
vehicles.
William Taormina, P.O. Box 309, Anaheim 92805.
Owner of several properties on North Anaheim Boulevard. A
number of businesses on the boulevard were combining into a
cottage-type industry, as opposed to strip commercial.
Architectural plans were currently in the blueprint stage, and
it was anticipated to create and maintain a space buffer between
the commercial and the residential uses. Parking along the
store fronts ultimately would be omitted for additional traffic
lanes, and in the future a request would be submitted for
abandonment of some residential streets to effect a private
community.
John Heberling, 726 N. Zeyn Street, Anaheim.
Questioned the topic under discussion; Councilman Bay explained
that the Planning Commission had denied all proposed changes,
and the only change to that action being proposed today was that
the two PD-C/RM-1200 parcels be reclassified to PD-C/RM-2400.
STAFF INPUT:
Planning Director Joel Fick advised that the advertising for the
Public Hearing was worded in such a way that PD-C/RM-2400 was
the only action the Council could take, if they wanted to move
in that direction. Additional study by staff on the remaining
lots was in progress, and if the Council directed, a separately
advertised public hearing could be held to further reduce the
zoning designations. PD-C/RM-2400 was the least intense
designation, compared to the existing zoning.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Bay closed the public hearing.
