The regular adjourned meeting of February 9, 2016 was called to order at 3:35 P.M. in the chambers of Anaheim City Hall, located at 200 S. Anaheim Boulevard. The meeting notice, agenda and related materials were duly posted on February 5, 2016. PRESENT: Mayor Pro Tem Kring and Council Members: Jordan Brandman, Kris Murray and James Vanderbilt. Mayor Tait joined the meeting at 3:37 P.M. STAFF PRESENT: City Manager Paul Emery, City Attorney Michael Houston and City Clerk Linda Andal. WORKSHOP - MID-YEAR BUDGET REVIEW FOR FY 2015/16 Finance Director Debbie Moreno presented the mid-year review of the FY 2015/16 budget, focusing solely on the General Fund. Due to robust revenue growth from an expanding economy, she stated the adopted budget was able to fund service enhancements that offered direct benefits to the Anaheim community. The budget totaled $1.7 billion, emphasized Council's priorities of public safety and neighborhoods while maintaining enhanced service levels with the largest portion reflected in the Enterprise funds at nearly 50 percent (Water, Electric, Sanitation, Utilities, golf courses, ARTIC, and the Convention, Sports and Entertainment venues). GENERAL FUND REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES: Ms. Moreno reported the City's revenue budget was at $286.2 million with a proposed surplus of$10.6 million. Staff had recommended and Council then approved $10.4 million for additional service enhancements resulting in a slight surplus of$200,000 at the end of the fiscal year. A 5-year chart of the General Fund showed that the three revenues sources, Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), Sales Tax, and Property Taxes were anticipated to increase as follows: • For TOT, the adopted budget represented an increase of 11.1% from FY 2014/15 actuals; • Excluding one-time revenues, the adopted Sales Tax revenue was projected to increase 1.4% from the prior year; and • Property Tax revenues were budgeted to increase 5.5%. The Base Recurring Expenditures Chart showed the adopted expenditure budget of$275.6 million with revenues over base expenditures netting $6.4 million. Based on these figures, she remarked, staff would recommend ongoing service enhancements that had an impact of$6.2 million in the current year and that those one-time service enhancements of$4.2 million had been offset by one-time revenues of an equal amount. The bottom line, i.e., the total change in reserves, she stated, would be tight for the current year and for the upcoming budget year as well. She also pointed out the city had added services to the extent possible within the constraints of the five year plan that anticipated increased costs for employee benefits. ON-GOING SERVICE ENHANCEMENTS OF$6.2 MILLION: Based on the five-year plan, staff recommended $6.2 million in public safety, street improvements, and park and neighborhood enhancements of an ongoing nature. Those improvements were listed below: City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 2 of 35 PUBLIC SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS: , For Police, funding was proposed to add 10 new Police Officers, which represented the second year of the City Council's initiative to add 40 new Police Officers over four years. It also included the expansion of the Public Safety Career Pipeline ($2.250.000) • Fire & Rescue funding was for the addition of 3 firefighters at Station 7, funding for a new hire training acadenmy, and the continuation of the Community Care Response Unit pilot program ($1,215,000). STREET IMPROVEMENTS: • Additional funding opportunities included street improvements that addressed aging infrastructure and long overdue repairs to streets, nigns, sidexva|ky, curbs and gutters for the purpose of improving the walkability of Sidexva/ko, ride qVa|ity, and safety of the residential streets /$2.200.000\. PARKS AND NEIGHBORHOODS: • Community Services funding supported expansion of the mobile afterschool program from once a week in 10 neighborhoods to twice a week, and added daily after school recreation programs in 10 parks. She noted that increasing the reach of programs helped strengthen communities and offered youth a safe, supportive environment ($515,000). ONE-TIME PROJECTS AND PURCHASES: In addition, Ms. Moreno exp|ained, staff had recommended $4.2 million in one-time projects and purchases to benefit parks and neighbVFhoods, street innprovemnonto, and public safety as listed below: PARKS AND NEIGHBORHOODS: • Community Services one-time enhancements included the installation of air conditioning and heating in the Peralta Park Recreation Building and provided funds to repair the damaged drainage at Olive Hills park ($1,172,000). • Park refresh projects were also included that added pathway lights, repaired and replaced aging playground ourfeoea, and made needed turf renovation and irrigation improvements to support the City's state-mandated conservation goals ($500.000). STREET IMPROVEMENTS: • Public Works received funding to install illuminated street name signs and provide various upgrades to streets, sidewalks, curbs and gutters throughout the City ($1,540,000). PUBLIC SAFETY: • One-time enhancements included $200.000 for traffic signal pnaennption, a new Type ||| fire engine for wild land evento, and funding for fire clearance at Pelanconi and Deer Canyon Parks ($1,012,000). CURRENT YEAR PERFORMANCE: MS. Moreno reported for the current year, at just past the halfway point, revenue pjections were exceeding expectations. • For TOT, record-breaking growth continued and the city was 5.3% over budget year-to-date and 18.8% over the previous year through December. TOT was pjected to finish the year at $138.7 million, or 15.9% over FY 2014/15. She added the collection of short-term rental revenue continued to be strong and would likely result in a net $3 million in new revenues to the City. Hovvevar, she added the caveat that staff believed much of the TOT growth was m one-time in nature related tothe 0O anniversary celebration at Disneyland. City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 3 of 35 • Sales Tax growth moderated slightly and was above budget by 4.5% year-to date. Ms. Moreno indicated Sales Tax revenues were expected to exceed budget by approximately $1.5 million or 2.0% at year-end, however, that upturn would be offset by an increase in LPMR because it related to increased sales in Disney and Downtown Disney and again, she emphasized, was likely related to Disneyland's anniversary celebration. With the exception of the transportation sector that had declined because of lower gas prices, she stated the remaining sectors were strong and achieved three year highs in the third quarter of 2015. • Property tax continued modest and consistent growth and staff was projecting to end the year 5.2% higher than FY 2014/15, which was just below the adopted revenue growth of 5.5%. Home values remained strong and had increased more than 8% over the past year. ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE: Ms. Moreno reported on the accomplishments through the first half of this fiscal year along with other programs in progress and others that would soon begin. PUBLIC SAFETY ACCOMPLISHMENTS • The Police Department formed a youth advisory board that provided key recommendations and insights on issues affecting youth who had encountered family violence; • The Parents Creating Change program was launched to guide parents on how to positively raise healthy children; • The Police Department conducted more than 85 neighborhood meetings during the first half of the fiscal year and increased the number of officers in Community Policing to a total of 14; • In 2015, Anaheim Fire & Rescue achieved an ISO Class 1 Public Protection Classification, the highest possible rating for a city and one of only three California agencies to achieve this honor and they completed the Installation of Emergency Vehicle Pre-Emption Devices to help maintain swift response times and improve roadway safety by providing green lights to dispatched emergency vehicles using that technology. COMMUNITY OUTREACH ACCOMPLISHMENTS • The City assisted the County in achieving its goal of establishing the County's first year- round emergency homeless shelter complete with services, expected to open by the end of the year; • The Homeless Outreach Team continued to work with non-profit partners to offer outreach and services to the homeless population in the city, and to date, Anaheim Homeless Collaborative moved more than 450 homeless individuals off the streets resulting in a net societal savings of more than $3.5 million annually. Ms. Moreno added that city staff was working on an item to fulfill the Council request of extending the Fullerton Armory's operations past March, which should be considered by Council later this month. • Anaheim Fire & Rescue invested in the community to ensure that everyone in Anaheim was educated and had the tools to safeguard themselves against fires and other hazards and the Homeowners Wildland Safety Checklist and FireSafe Demonstration Garden educated residents on how their landscape and hardscape could help prevent fires from reaching their homes, and Anaheim Fire was also working to clear brush in Pelanconi Park and Deer Canyon to prevent major fires. City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 4 of 35 ~ The Wear Your Helmet Like a Pro program continued to grow and offered free helmets and safety education to school aged children and CERT and RAICES offered opportunities for residents to help keep the community safe. She noted these grassroots groups would play a key role in supporting first responders in the case of any large scale incident in the city. NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH ACCOMPLISHMENTS Ms. Moreno reported the STARS (Study-time, Arts, Recreation & Sports) a free, drop-in program providing academic support, art eOr|ohnnent, sports and recreation activities for children was now offered at eight sites, with two additional sites to be soon added. In addition, the Fun on Wheels program now served ten neighborhoods twice a week. Seniors in Central Anaheim requested an outdoor fitness center with multiple exercise stations which was now provided at the Downtown Community Center. In addidon, neighborhood rehabilitation projects were completed in the Academy, Gaymont, Green|eaf, Tang}evvoVd, Rio Bravo and Sabina neighborhoods, completely funded by bonds. Some of the neighborhood infrastructure projects were nearly half completed in the Academy, Gmynnont, Green|eaf, Tang|em/ood, Rio Bravo and Sabina neighborhoods, funded by bonds with an anticipated completion date of May 2016. Public Works trimmed 6,100 residential street trees, planted 349 tneea, and installed 1,200 new residential street name signs. In addition, Citywide ADA improvements have continued with multiple projects completed atStmddgrd. Chaparral, Maxwell, Pioneer, and Boysen Parks; along with accessibility enhancements at the Haskett Library and the Brookhurst Community Center. In Anaheim Public Utilities this year, she indicated more than 850 energy audits were conducted, the department delivered more than 550 shade trees through the Tree Power Progrorn, and provided 160 efficient appliance rebates. In mddidon, over 250 energy surveys for small businesses were conducted to identify energy saving measures. Brookhurst Park in west Anaheim had 13 new streetlights installed to address safety concerns in the area while new LED lighting helped brighten streets, projecting a more visible and secure environment. On Gilbert Street in west Anaheim, four new street lights were added to illuminate school right-of-ways and major pedestrian orooexva|ks used by students. Regarding water conservation efforts, Ms. Moreno reported Anaheim reached nearly 97% of its goal, per the statewide regulation requiring agencies to conserve water as of June 2015. She noted Anaheim's goal of 20% compared to usage in 2013 equated to 3.3 billion gallons of water by February 2016 and as of January 2016. Anaheim water customers saved 3.2 billion gallons. Ms. Moreno pointed out while the recent weather pattern helped restore the northern snowpack; it was not expected to completely restore supplies to pre-drought |eva|e, resulting in the State Water Resources Control Board extending drought regulations in 2016. To assist with planning for the future, Ms. Moreno addressed Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan, with the goal of establishing a thriving business environment. The plan was designed to attract a wide variety of industries, encourage sustainable deve|opment, remove obstacles to the reuse of existing atructuras, and spur infill development of currently vacant or underutilized parcels. City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 5 of 35 PROGRAMS IN PROGRESS: PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAMS • This year Safe Schools Investigators continued their success with the GRIP (Gang Reduction Intervention Partnership) p[ognonn, reaching more than 800 students than in 2014. • One more class was added to the Public Safety Pipeline with two classes scheduled every week at Sycamore Junior High School with plans moving forward to expand that effort. • As the lead agency of the O.C.

Anaheim Boulevard. The building was designed to house a brewery, a vvinery, and a distillery-each with a tasting room-with all three MAKE'ers sharing a 3.000 square foot outdoor patio. NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAMS • Anaheim was working with OCTA and surrounding cities to build a series of bridges to separate car traffic from train tracks and these railroad grade separations would improve traffic flow and safety on Anaheim streets. Construction on the Orangethorpe grade separation was on schedule to be completed in May 2016 and the Tustin/Rose project was slated for completed in April 2016. • Anaheim Fire & Rescue was currently in the process of relocating Station 5 and reallocating current resources in the most efficient way possible.

The Department planned to analyze call data from the initial phase of the CCRU deployment to assess program impacts and develop strategies to further enhance this innovative service delivery model. PROJECTS COMING SOON FOR NEIGHBORHOODS: • Stoddard Park would be receiving a completely renovated restroom this month as part of ongoing efforts to replace aging facilities. • The Boys and Girls Club would be relocated from their current location on Broadway to the Community Center at Manzanita Park to better serve the needs of the Boys and Girls Club participants. The building would be expanded to provide additional programming space, enhanced visibility and a welcoming entrance as well as upgrading the roof, installing energy efficient /ightiOg, air conditioning and plumbing fixtures. Ms. Moreno reported this would be the first permanent structure for Anaheim's Boys and Girls Club, and was expected to be completed in spring of 2016. • Little People's Park was to be renovated with significant public input from the neighbors and would include replacement of the gazebo shade structune, conversion of the 1/2 court basketball court to a full oourt, and turf replacement. In addition, historic Anaheim light City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 6 of 35 poles would be integrated into the park with new energy efficient LED fixtures to create better park illumination and a safer environment for this public space. • Ms. Moreno pointed out Circle Park spent many years as a vacant City lot and with the request and input of area residents, would be developed into a new pocket park to include a small playground and picnic area and the installation of artificial turf located near Ball Road, west of Euclid Avenue in West Anaheim. • The rehabilitation projects at Euclid Library in West Anaheim and the Sunkist branch in Central Anaheim would reconfigure the interior and exterior spaces to allow for more flexible use for a variety of community needs. The renovation began this January and reopening was scheduled for June 2016. She pointed out that during the renovation, community members would be able to access library services using the Bookmobile stationed outside the branches during the rehabilitation. • The City was continuing its efforts to engage the Santa Ana River by extending Anaheim Coves to the north of Lincoln Avenue to Frontera Street. The nearly one mile bicycle, riding, and hiking trail would include native landscaping and demonstration gardens and had a Fall 2016 completion date. • Construction recently began on a 10,000 square foot, Skate Park at the northwest corner of Ponderosa Park receiving input from children and young adults during several community meetings. Groundbreaking was December 2015 with an anticipated opening date at the end of 2016. • Ms. Moreno remarked that seven new breweries opened this past year and 10 more were scheduled to open later this year. Golden Road Brewery opened its tasting room and the entire manufacturing facility was expected to open this summer. She added, Carl Strauss Brewery was slated to open a facility on Orangewood near the Stadium this fall and city staff continued efforts to streamline administrative processes to promote Anaheim as a "Brew" city. • The Beach Boulevard Specific Plan (BBSP) project was well underway with staff working closely with the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) to help develop the project. A motel demand study was also underway to understand the true demand for motel rooms along the Beach Boulevard corridor, anticipated to be completed in the near future. In addition, staff was also organizing a developer roundtable workshop to understand how to incentivize new residential and commercial development along the Beach Boulevard corridor. Finally, a city council workshop was planned for March to update Council and the community on the latest information on the Beach Boulevard Specific Plan. • Hotel Development was in the works with development in the Resort area continuing to thrive. Expected activities included the redevelopment of the Park Vue Inn on Harbor Blvd and the development of the four-star JW Marriott hotel on the GardenWalk site. The City also received plans for additional hotel projects in the Resort area and looked forward to the growth these projects would bring. • The construction for the Anaheim Convention Center Expansion seventh expansion, Betterment VII, was currently in progress. Ms. Moreno explained Phase 1 would provide 600 parking spaces and a new bridge connection to the existing facility with an anticipated completion date of August 2016. Phase 2, the remainder of the project, would provide occupancy of the entire facility, slated for completion in the Fall of 2017. She noted while the Convention Center was only half way into Phase 1 of the construction, the following City Counci' Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 7 of 35 groups had confirmed use of the new space; i.e., the American Heart Association, LiOked|D, Keller Williams, the Solar Energy trade show and the Commodity Classic Farm Convention. To recap the presentation, Ms. Moreno restated under the adopted Five Year Plan, TOT was expected to exceed budget by a net of approximately $4 million; sales tax net revenues would be only a few hundred thousand more than budgeted and would offset the slight underperformance of property taxes, and expenditures were anticipated to be right on budget. She pointed out that the slight surplus of$200,000 now showed $3.4 million and in addition, the city ended last year over its projections by about $1.7 nni||ioO, mainly due to state mandated cost reimbursements announced by the state just after the budget was adopted. This would result in about $5.1 million more than anticipated when this fiscal year budget was originally adopted. She pointed out there were still increases in cost to address this year and in the out years for which these funds might be needed adding that the surplus did not include any increased labor costs for the bargaining units that were now undergoing negotiations. Next year staff was anticipating a slight surplus of about $800,000. and staff would continue to monitor the initial projections in the coming months as development of the recommended budget for the next fiscal year was underway. She emphasized staff's focus remained on maintaining existing service levels within a balanced budget and included council policies prioritizing funding for public safety and neighborhoodo, i.e., the addition of ten more police officers for each fiscal year for four years beginning with FY 2014/15. She addressed the city's long-term obligations stating the five-year plan included the increasing costs of funding for Anaheim's long-term obligations including pensions and retiree medical, ensuring that the city could afford proposed services today and into the future. She explained the funding status for Anaheim's pension plans had improved from approximately 64% in 2010, to an estimated 77% at June 30, 2014. The retiree medical plan was closed to new participants, non-sworn personnel hired after January 1, 1996, and sworn personnel in late 2001. She stated there had been a long standing tradition of prefunding this obligation and that Anaheim had reserved about $74 million, and the obligation was more than 30% funded. Ms. Moreno remarked that two rating agonuioe. Fitch and Standard and Poor's, reviewed the City's General Fund credit annually and affirmed the AA ratings which indicated the City had a strong capacity for financial commitments and a low risk of default. BUDGET CALENDAR: The Finance Department was in the process of preparing their budget proposals for FY 2016/17 and those proposals would be reviewed with the City Manager over the coming months to formulate a strategic plan with Anaheim's executive team in April.

ADDITIONS/DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA: None PUBLIC COMMENTS(all agenda items,except public hearings):Prior to receipt of public comments, a brief decorum statement was provided by City Clerk, Linda Andal. Craig Sheets spoke about the proliferation of methamphetamine labs and associated narcotic trafficking in cities throughout southern California. Cecil Jordan Corhern, Outreach Homeless N1inistrieo, read a passage from the Bible. Oliver Omidvan, representing the property owner of 1300 N. Kellogg in east Anaheim, addressed his comments to Agenda Item No. 13, related to a zone change for that property. He stated the building had been vacant for two years and the Crosspointe Church was now requesting to lease the building for a church and invest in the property. He believed the church would be good for the business park and the community and for the Crosspointe congregation; hovvavar, the zoning change would prohibit its use on that site. He added other speakers would speak to the Council on this issue as well. Robert Williams discussed racist flyers that were posted in the Co|ony, asking that the city speak on this matter. He also inquired why there had not been an RFP since 1998 for the city ambulance contract and why his comment on the rebidding of fire extinguishers was not considered as a cost-saving measure for the city. William Fitzgerald opposed the ordinance prohibiting overnight camping in city parks and offered his personal viewpoint on Anaheim's elected officials. Kandee Beas remarked she owned a historic home and looked forward as a task force participant to the STR presentation in two weeks. City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 10 of 35 Mike Robbins remarked he wanted to ban SIRs because they were negatively impacting the quality of life with large groups of strangers coming into residential neighborhoode, more nmioe, more traffic, less parking, and confrontations with renters resulting in police calls for assistance. He added it was a commercial enterprise that had quickly spread and changed the feel and tone of his neighborhood. Translation: Longuage, Spanish. Susanna and Jose, a husband and wife team that had been cleaning vacation homes in Anaheim, opposed a ban on short term rentals. As the sole source of income for this foOni\y. Susanna stated to ban STRs would take the American dream away from her family. An unidentified speaker added his voice in support of STRs, remarking it was not a smart business practice to ban something outright because some issues were raised and that every issue or concern had a reasonable resolution. He urged Council to listen with an open mind and look for a compromise that worked for both sides. Parriz Omidvan, spoke to Item No. 13, stating his son talked about the business aspect of his request to allow church use on his property at Kellogg and La Palma. He spoke to the good that churches offered to communities in terms of societal benefits and how Crosspointe Church had been seeking a site for four years and had just come across his building a few days ago. The Church found his site to be a perfect solution for their needs and their growth and he asked the city to support them in an effort to relocate to the city of Anaheim on this specific property. Bill Oun1ap, Crosspointe Chu[ch, apologized to the city for coming in at the last moment asking for the ability to relocate this church to Anaheim. He recognized the city had been working on creating the Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan for four years and were now at the point of approving it, and he understood the city's position on the rezoning. He pointed out in Costa Mesa there was a corridor of churches in an industrial area, not considered incompatible and the area just north of 1300 Kellogg at the corner of Hunter and PCmte||a, that area was zoned O/44, a commercial use that would allow for a church via a conditional use permit (CUP). He remarked that area that was adjacent to his property could be expanded 1.500 feet which would then allow a church to operate on his property with a CUP. He stated Crosspointe was looking forward to coming to Anaheim and believed they could satisfy some of the restrictions that were a challenge to churches such as parking and would upgrade the building as well. He submitted exhibits that showed the site location being discussed and its close proximity to the DA4 zone and appreciated City Council's consideration of this request. Gian 8tmrbs, commercial real estate broker working with Crosspointe Church, remarked the church had been looking for a new home for four or five yeans, focused in Yorba Linda and then Anaheim. He pointed out this property on Kellogg was next to Yorba Linda and Crosspointe had not been aware of the process Anaheim had been undergoing for this area. He did not understand why this particular property would have religion as a prohibited use. Crosspointe liked the building, it was located at a signalized interchange which would not impact traffic adversely, and up to this point. Crosspointe had looked at 14 buildings over the last five years in an attempt to find a new home. The building had been empty for two years; the adjacent building had been 50 percent empty for over a year. He proposed the following, to allow a CUP application to come in before the specific plan was in effect and to be grandfathered in and go through the CUP process rather than having to change the zoning or impact the hard work that had gone into the specific plan process. He asked the City Council to consider the idea of granting some sort of grandfather clause or give Crosspointe the 90 days needed to get the CUP through. City Council Minutes of February 9,2016 Page 11 of 35 Jordan Bursch, Tyler and Bursch LLP, attorneys retained by Crosspointe Church, remarked he had been recently retained to review the zoning on the property under discussion and came up with a solution. A letter had been sent to the city last night and the city attorney's office had responded. He indicated Tyler& Bursch had dealt in religious land use throughout the country, specializing in churches and religious entities and understood the zoning issues. He stated the Church wanted to be a member of this community and their congregation supported their efforts. Their church had expanded greatly and no longer fit in their present location and he noted that could be a substantial burden based on the new zoning under RLUIPA, Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, which could be a violation of their first amendment rights. He added with the specific plan, it limited the church's use on that property and his firm wanted to work with the city to limit that burden. A couple of options had been mentioned and whether that was a variance or granting the church the right to file a CUP for grandfathering in this use, he would like to explore that to see if there was a way to accommodate this congregation without the need to address RLUIPA. Laura Robbins, 20 year resident, spoke in opposition to STRs in Anaheim. The impacts of the NAMM Convention had impacted her neighborhood, with strangers wandering in her neighborhood at all hours. She added when this STR issue exploded, the discussion became should she move or fight the STRs and eliminate the problem. She wanted a complete ban on STRs to restore the neighborhoods to their previous state. Shawn LaCarra, resident, asked for a complete ban on STRs as the only option available that would return neighborhoods to the way they once were. Brian Moore, senior pastor of Crosspointe Church in Yorba Linda, appreciated City Council's consideration of the church's request. He asked all those who represented Crosspointe Church to stand for Council's edification and talked about the challenges in managing a congregation that had rapidly expanded from 70 to nearly 1,000 people. He remarked this building on Kellogg was the 14th building the church had seen. This property was found last week and the board immediately negotiated the terms of the lease. On Monday, yesterday, while reviewing the property with city staff, the church found out about the proposed zoning change for the site. They asked about expediting a CUP, however, with the new law, it was a 90 day approval process. He added the church was not asking City Council to stop the specific plan approval process or make changes, they were asking allowance to submit a CUP application before the law went into effect, thereby giving the church 90 days to go through the CUP requirements. He recognized that this request came at the very last minute but hoped the Council would consider their request. Joseph Kovakin stated he owned a drug and alcohol treatment facility and a 200 employee construction company, both located in Anaheim and was here to speak about what the Crosspointe church meant to his employees. As a resident and business owner, he supported the church's relocation to Anaheim and hoped the logistics could be worked out between the city and Crosspointe. Tom Miller remarked he was proud to be a resident of Anaheim for the past 20 years, raising his children and grandchildren, and as a board member for Crosspointe, he extolled the positive impacts the church had on himself and his family. He strongly urged the city to allow the church for file for a CUP and allow them to relocate to Anaheim. Jon Stevenson, High Tower Capital representing Crosspointe Church in their entitlement efforts, stated he had worked with the church for about three years now looking for a new site for their City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 12 of 35 congregation. He shared the benefit of this site being currently zoned for religious assembly, had adequate parking and would not have an impact on traffic on La Palma because it was off the beaten path. He added the area that was already zoned DA4 that would permit religious assembly was next door to this property and it was their hope that the plot line could be moved down one parcel and the Kellogg property would be included in that zoning. Bob Dono|omn remarked a resolution had been passed by the Orange County Labor Federation that represented over 250,000 union members in the county as well as NARFE. Chapter 1256 that represented federal retirees in Orange County requesting a ban on short term rentals. He was adding his request from postal workers and South Anaheim District Council recommending a ban on STRs as being detrimental to the city. He added that Judge Banks in Anaheim made the statement that short term rentals were no different from hotels operating a business in neighborhoods. He also requested that Council schedule on the next meeting an item on the STRs nnoratoriunn, because there were people operating STRs that did not have approved permits. He also pointed out that the recent homeowners association ballot in Sherwood Village overwhelmingly voted against a recall effort by the STR owners who objected to the exclusion of short term rentals in that complex. He submitted the resolutions for the record. Pam Donelson read an article regarding Airbnb impacts and the need for zoning laws to separate various types of uses for the mutual benefit of all. She submitted the article for the record. Robert Brunette remarked he lived next to five short term rental properties and spoke to the personal challenges he encountered with the renters. He added noise was a real problem for he and his family, and as to the question should they be banned or managed differenUy, he supported finding a method to better manage the impacts. He added that banning the STRs would still leave neighborhoods forever changed. Alan Bynder, STR oxvner, submitted for the record a number of letters from previous guests who had stayed at his property. Comments ranged from providing an affordable option to hote|o, being able to stay longer and spend more dollars in the city, and visiting more often. He believed STRs were good for business, good for Anaheim, and that by enforcement of the rules, no neighbor should be impacted. Zachary E|nnhu[ot, na8ident, believed vacation rentals filled a need in the tourist industry as Disneyland and other Anaheim tourism attractions continued to grow and had set a tourism record for the second year in a row. He supported STRs as a benefit to the community. Logan Penalosa remarked he and his wife moved to Anaheim to take part in the growing industry of short term rentals and offered wonderful experiences for families with kids. He hoped he would be able to continue to use his education and experience in hospitality management in Anaheim. Felix (Translation: Spaninh), resided in Anaheim since 1998, stating that one of his first jobs was picking up recyclables. Now he cleaned homes for a living and recently purchased a small home in Anaheim. He added there were now three beautiful homes near his house used for short term rentals for families, and he supported that use. Kaliegh Mungo, resident, supported vacation rentals because she and her family had used STRs for a vacation experience with generations of families coming together. She felt it was important to make Disneyland affordable. City Council Minutes of February 9,2016 Page 13 of 35 Jim Degitz, supported STRs, remarking there were a few in his neighborhood and he had no problem with the tenants. Vacation rental homes were well maintained and they had given a lift to the neighborhood with residents now fixing their places as well and creating a better environment. Martin Mercado remarked he was a resident manager in the Ponderosa community for 12 years, thanking Council for granting parking spaces in the area of Orangewood and Haster. He stated there had been some conflict between the residents for those parking spaces, asking if a meeting could be scheduled to help find a solution to residents who don't give an opportunity for others to use parking spaces in front of their building. Regarding the People's Map, he lived in the proposed District 4 and looked forward to having the map approved as well as the sequencing of elections and to have a representative on the Council who understood the challenges of living in District 4. Gustavo Gonzalez (Translation: Spanish), manager of an apartment complex on Wakefield, appreciated the city's help in providing parking spaces for the building, and reiterating Martin Mercado's request for a meeting to solve some parking problems that have occurred. Mayor Tait referred the speaker to the City Manager who would put him in touch with city staff. Victoria de Gomez, 42 year resident, remarked she was proud to be from Anaheim and looked forward to each member of the city council supporting equal representation for a diverse community. Regarding STRs, she believed they created problems, much like the homes that contain more than one family. Lourdes Sotelo, supported short term rentals, indicating she worked in an STR related business and was thankful for having this job. Brenda Lopez speaking in favor of vacation rentals, remarked she had been working for Frances Noteboom for eight years in their STR operation, had been treated well, and was able to support her family on this income. Ron Bengochea, resident, supported the People's Map and encouraged its approval this evening. Regarding short term rentals, he had 10+ STRs in a four to five block area and for the most part, the rentals had not caused problems. The owners had taken homes that were vacant for some time, remodeled them and put a stop to the issue of kids having parties in homes that were vacant. He believed it was a revenue generator, improved neighborhoods and with the ordinance enforced, should not be a problem. Julie Burnett remarked she had five STRs next to her home and supported STRs, recommending that property owners that did not adhere to the rules have their permits revoked and that the one community that had been stirring up emotions on this issue stop trying to enact a ban in other neighborhoods. Luisa Lam, speaking against STRs, reported her Sherwood Village condominium complex held a special meeting regarding three issues related to STRs; i.e., the removal of the entire homeowner's association board members, amending the HOA by-laws, and reversing a previous vote against short term rentals in the complex. She emphasized that out of the 221 townhomes, 191 votes had been cast and out of those, 126 voters rejected the removal of the board, 124 rejected amending the bylaws and 119 were against reversing the STR rules. She pointed out Ojai completely banned STRs as well as Santa Barbara, suggesting the city consider talking to those officials regarding their ban. City Council Minutes of February 9,2016 Page 14 of 35 Sam Lam, Sherwood Village, remarked STRs were businesses and there were zoning laws put in place for a reaoon, i.e., to protect residents and regulate businesses from impacting their surrounding neighborhoods. The STRs were disrupting the communities and did not belong in residential neighborhoods as it left potential buyers or long-term renters the effect of finding no opportunities to compete for homes in Anaheim. Jennifer<]'Boy|e, resident and a five year employee for an owner of two vacation rentals in Anaheim, opposed a ban on STRs. She maintained the properties, created websites and marketed the STRs, the sole source of income for her and her son. Speaking on behalf of the property owner who could not be present, he was a 30-year resident in Anaheim, who was a responsible vacation rental property owner and had never received a complaint. She noted the guosts, in response to an email request she had sent tOdmV, commented that without a vacation rental available in Anaheim, they would look elsewhere for vacation opportunities. She added vacation rentals offered an affordable experience and she hoped that experience could continue. Edgar De Jesus, AquaBrite Pool Service, stated he had been a resident of Anaheim for 13 years and about 8 years ago, he and his family started a pool maintenance service that included Anaheim, Orange, and Villa Park. Once the STRs proliferated in Anaheim, he was able to add a number of new accounts and hired employees to help service the pools. With 90 percent of his business related to Anaheim STRs, the ban would make a huge impact to his business and he asked the city to take that into account when they deliberate on short term rentals. Tae Price explained how he came to own short term rentals in Anaheim, emphasizing when he identified such a property in Anaheim, he checked in with the Planning Department to determine the process for operating those rentals and was told vacation rentals were allowed in the city. He added the vast mjority of his neighbors were supporters of STRs and many more owners such as he tried not to make a negative impact on the neighborhoods and to take the right steps along the way having been assured by the city throughout the process that they were. TRANSLATION: Language, Sign. Zaniandra Medrosa signed she was deaf, worked at Disneyland, and was here to show her support for the People's Map on behalf of the deaf community and the empowerment of the ADA laws. She wanted the voices of the deaf to be respected and to be heard and that certified interpreters were provided on their behalf. Trevor Muylin remarked he and his family owned a few STRs in Anaheim and they complied with all ru}eo, paid transient occupancy taxes, improved neighborhoods while generating a number of ancillary jobs and supporting many families. Mike Conley, 10 year military vete[an, explained that after spending time in a vacation rental in Anaheim, started looking for homes for the same purpose in the city and confirming with city staff there were no regulations addressing short term rentals. As a property owner he developed relationships with the neighbors, was compliant with the rules put in place through the STR ordinance and requested council consider the positives resulting from STRs during their deliberations. Ryan McIntosh, STR owner and member of the city's STR advisory comnnnittae, remarked he and his wife purchased their first home in Anaheim three years ago and had turned it into a vacation rental. He was concerned about a ban on STRs and how it would impact him and also recognized that residents did not deserve sleepless nights from non-compliant STRs. He asked that each council member take time to consider proposed changes to the existing STR City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 15 of 35 ordinance. He addad, with proper enforcement, he believed it would offer a valuable alternative to the 23 million visitors that Anaheim hosted each year. Daniel Collins, STR openator, remarked one of his neighbors gave permission for him to read an email expressing support for STRs in Anaheim explaining in detail her experiences. She believed if managed properly, the STRs could improve the aesthetic quality of neighborhoods, elevate property v@|uea, provide affordable alternatives to costly hotels for families and generate income for the city in the form of transient occupancy taxes. Mr. Collins added that he had very few problems and had tried to maintain good relationships with his neighbors. Miguel Guer[ePD, resident, indicated he lived across the street from a GTR, one that he owned and operated. The home was purchased and renovated as a short term rental and since that first day, he followed all regulations and requests from the city and continued to believe that if managed oorreoUy. STRs were a benefit. Mindie Hochgesang owned a couple of STRs in the Kaleidoscope community and spoke to the benefits it brought to Anaheim, properties were well [naintained, guests followed all posted rules, including the HOA rules, and the home was rented out to families. She believed that non- compliant STR owners should be dealt with on an individual basis and the city should not take action on a complete ban, when other STR operators were successfully managing their rentals. Duane Roberts, resident, remarked that tonight council was going to put to rest Anaheim's at large system of elections with one based on single member districts, a moment to stop and reflect on the history that led to this change. He advised taking another look at the citizen's advisory committee on elections final report as it offered recommendations to increase resident participation as well as other non-binding suggestions. Jonathan Locieo, Marine Corps veteran, remarked he was a property manager for a vacation rental company and spoke on behalf of owners who cared about their properties and followed the rules. Andres S. Rannirez, stated he lived in the East Latrice area, and was thankful to the city for granting parking spaces on Orangewood and Haster in the Ponderosa community. He pointed out there had been conflicts regarding spaces among the residents and for that reason, he was requesting a meeting with city personnel to find a solution to the problem. He also supported the People's Map, stating he resided in the 4th district and looked forward to having a council member that lived within his own district and would represent those residents well. Vern Nelson reported on a story in the Voice of Orange County a couple of weeks ago, relating to Anaheim police spent and cell phone surveillance devices. He indicated the article was available on the Voice of OC and he believed it was something that should be discussed publicly. Donna Acevedo, nsoident, addressed her comments on the public safety board, indicating there was still no accountability for officers involved in shootings. At the last public safety nneet\ng, the Deputy Chief was asked what were the consequences of an officer not wearing a camera and he responded the officer would be cautioned each time that occurred. She pointed out the community fought for a long time to get those body cameras, but what was the point when they were not used or if the public never saw what was on them. In her viewpoint, the public safety board was a powerless exercise. City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 16 of 35 Arturo Ferreras, resident, addressed his comments to the STR issue. Living in Pepperwood and the adjacent Kaleidoscope community, he stated there were few residents left to complain about the impacts of STRs and now STR owners were threatening homeowner's associations. Carolina Hernandez remarked she was born and raised in Anaheim and lived in the 4th district near Ponderosa Park and was here to support the People's Map and to have good representation in the future as a result of single district elections. Lindsey Caovette spoke in favor of STRs, stating they provided opportunities for families to stay together, to vacation longer, and to be more comfortable. Joseph Kirschman spoke in favor of STRs, remarking the owners were forced to keep their properties in pristine condition to attract vacationers and should not be banned in Anaheim. Julie King read excerpts of emails supporting vacation rentals that she received as a result of her email to her 2015 guests. Emails were received from South Africa, Oregon, Canada and Oregon all of whom addressed how vacation homes addressed their specific needs rather than hotels. Translation: Language, Spanish. An unidentified speaker represented a company that provided cleaning services for vacation homes in the surrounding area, employing 25 people. He asked Council to take into account the secondary jobs that were created by STRs and the importance of those jobs to families. An unidentified speaker explained she was an STR operator and was here to speak in support of vacation rentals because the owner was not able to be present. She talked about the management rules in place, her relationship with the neighbors and the fact that her STRs catered to families only and had never received a complaint. She then read a letter of support from one of the STR neighbors. Jeanine Robbins remarked she had been moved by the kindness shown by residents of the city during film clips of the State of the City address and that it was clear to her that Anaheim was a leader among cities here and abroad. Regarding STRs, she believed the impact of this industry had eroded the fabric of neighborhoods in many ways, including impacting census figures that were brought into play for schools districts funding, election districts and any other funding relating to population. She urged the City Council to help reclaim neighborhoods from professional landlords with a complete ban and phase-out period accompanied by enforced regulations and to make sure there was a private right of legal action for residents to sue these operations. Danny Robbins, resident, addressed the STR issue, stating he decided to do a report on the economics of vacation rentals for his Cal State Fullerton Economic Research Methods class. From an economic perspective, he reported STRs in Anaheim contributed $200,000 a month to city revenues or $2.4 million annually versus Anaheim's total transient revenue of$138 million. As to whether property values increased due to vacation rentals in neighborhoods, a study by Cornell on Airbnb stated STRs raised property values when they were used as owner occupied properties; Mr. Robbins pointed out most of Anaheim's STRs were not owner occupied. A second study showed that STRs did raise property values because they caused a housing shortage, and only benefitted the STR owner, not people thinking about living and working in Anaheim. City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 17 of 35 Ada Briceno, OCCORD/Unite Here Local 11, remarked the rules had changed in many Anaheim neighborhoods when the STR ordinance came into effect, impacting the quality of life. She expressed concern over the safety in neighborhoods with revolving door visitors and the inability for the remaining homeowners to relate as a neighborhood. She encouraged a ban on STRs to bring back strong neighborhoods and help retain the hotel industry jobs that offered good pay with benefits. Roke Katze spoke on behalf of family-owned vacation rentals stating there was a new segment of the tourist economy. He believed Anaheim should compete for this segment of the market and to do it in a way that did not impact neighbors adding that efforts had been made to refine and resolve some of the issues and he hoped the city could come to a mutually agreeable solution and consider options to address the burning issues. He submitted documents. Translation: Lgnguoge, Spanish. Lorena Fierro lived in District 3 and also worked in the city. She spoke to the People's Map, asking that the city complete the districting process which had been conducted in a legal and just manner and vote for approval of the ordinance. Martin Lopez. Sherwood Vi\\a0e, remarked he felt overwhelmed with the number of STR operators and owners speaking and in particular their involvement in Sherwood Village with a pending lawsuit and attempts to recall his homeowner association board members. He was appreciative that the residents of his complex stood behind their board and urged the Council to recognize the impacts and prohibit STRs in the city. Mark Daniels stated tonight was to be a oe/ebn8Uon, a bringing together of the community to adopt the People's Map and instead, the issue of STRs was taking over. He urged a complete ban on STRs, for the reason that commercial ventures should not be allowed to intrude on rasidendal neighborhoods and impact families and their investment in the community. Victoria Michae{e, resident, congratulated Mayor Tait on the State of the City presentation remarking over$80,000 had been raised on behalf of ACT. She also credited Mishal Montgomery for her efforts on this successful event and recommended compensation for the Mayor's aide position be reconsidered by the Council. Regarding CityNet's work on behalf of the homeless, she announced that a homeless man, Tim aka Birdman, who with his service parnot, entertained tourists around Disneyland, would now have his own apartnleDt. offering her appreciation to the city and its partnership with CityNet. John Noteboom, 20 year resident, remarked he and his wife managed STRs and his wife Frances had worked with the city on the STR ordinance in 2013 and continued to work on improving the ordinance as part of the ARA board that was working with neighborhoods. He asked that the city continue to work with the owners and operators and find a way to make vacation rentals work for the benefit of all in Anaheim. Andy Emory read a letter from the Dream Foundation and submitted same, an organization that served terminally ill adults and their families by making dreams come true. In 2015, the Dream Foundation fulfilled 41 Disneyland "dream" requests and used STRs to accommodate families who often had special needs. He requested the city continued to allow STRs in Anaheim and in turn, support the Dream Foundation. He added, he and his wife owned and operated an STR in Anaheim and had spoken to the Planning Department and Business License Division before purchasing a home in Anaheim and had checked with their homeowners association as well. As operators, they had been compliant with STR regulations, paid the required taxes and had not replaced a single family or single rental unit as their purchases had been from retirees City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 18 of 35 moving on to other housing. They believed vacation rentals did bring a benefit to the city and was willing to work with the city and neighbors to insure STRs were successfully operated. Frances Noteboom remarked that she and her husband lived in the same neighborhood of their STRs and could see both sides of the issue. She believed the ordinance with some fine-tuning would address all issues but that better enforcement was needed. She pointed out that when the ordinance was adopted, she had requested it be revisited after six months to evaluate its effectiveness but that did not happen. The transient occupancy taxes collected since July through the end of November was just under$1.5 million and she hoped those monies would find their way back to the appropriate neighborhoods. She remarked the industry was new and urged Council to make Anaheim the leader as to how vacation/STR industry should work in order for it to be compatible for all the stakeholders and for Anaheim to continue to be a family/friendly destination city to provide for all markets. Cynthia Ward, resident, remarked that after listening to the State of the City, she believed there was much more right about Anaheim, than wrong. She was not advocating for or against the STRs, pointing out there were some issues that must be addressed before a decision was made. With so much demand for family friendly affordable rentals, she asked why not reconsider the hotel subsidy policy and address the market for family units in the Resort district. She then inquired if there was any city liability when regulating and permitting a use like STRs where there were none of the standards in place required by the hospitality industry such as ADA compliance, health and safety, use of cleaning chemicals, and handling medical responses or fire emergencies. Jeff Letourneau objected to earlier comments by a speaker stating they were disgraceful, racist and unacceptable and hardly worthy of the civil rights afforded speakers when discussing public policy issues. Greg Diamond remarked the STR concerns raised by the public was most likely making a real impact on the neighborhoods but he was not necessarily stating there should be a complete ban. He suggested the city consider housing courts to deal with situations or having the industry come together and put up some sort of bonding or an additional transient occupancy tax specific to STRs be enacted.

Item No. 34; Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan). Mayor Tait requested staff address the concerns raised by Crosspointe Church during public comments. Council Member Murray added that it would be helpful for a concise overview of the specific plan process as well as addressing the concerns raised ear|ior, adding that she would then ask for a process to address the church's request at the appropriate time. City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 21 of 35 Jonathan Borrego, Planning Services Manager, reported the Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan development had been in process since 2011 when the city received a State grant to update the specific plan. Through that process, an extensive public outreach was conducted that included community workshops, and stakeholder groups as well as public hearings before the Planning Commission and the City Council. Regarding religious use, he stated while churches would not actually be allowed at the specific property discussed earlier, churches would continue to be allowed in four of the seven development areas being established through the specific plan process, an area of about 300 acres. He added the reason church use would not be allowed on that specific site, i.e.,1300 N. Kellogg, was because it was designated for industrial and one of the primary goals of the specific plan was to preserve the industrial areas for industrial use, a topic discussed at length during the public outreach process. He also pointed out that the preservation of those industrial areas was not specific to churches alone, the specific plan identified a list of non-industrial uses that might be incompatible with the industrial businesses in that area. Mr. Borrego offered to speak on any of the processes mentioned to accommodate Crosspointe Church's request. Council Member Murray recognized the work that had gone into development of this specific plan, remarking she had attended many of the meetings throughout the years during stages of the process. She understood the purpose was to create a zone that would attract and bring back middle income and skilled jobs to Anaheim, a focus that was important to the city, but also acknowledged an unusual circumstance that had just been brought to the city's attention. She added she was comfortable proceeding on the vote tonight on approval of the Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan but would like to ask at the appropriate time, for an amendment to be brought back to allow religious purposes on the property at 1300 N. Kellogg Street to allow Crosspointe Church to have the opportunity to pursue use of that site. She added the Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan and the General Plan were adopted at the previous meeting and tonight's vote would address the zoning changes that complemented those plans previously adopted. Mr. Borrego confirmed if staff received direction this evening, he would process a subsequent specific plan amendment to incorporate this piece of property into a development area adjacent to the site that allowed church use, extending the boundary southward to include the Kellogg property which would then allow Crosspointe Church to apply for a conditional use permit. Mayor Tait asked that if a church had been allowed on this site before, would the new specific plan take that right away. Mr. Borrego responded that a church would have been allowed on this property with a conditional use permit, however, there was one change made to the specific plan as there were certain non-industrial uses that would no longer be allowed by conditional use permit in the core industrial area because of the public outreach process He stated an overwhelming message from the stakeholders was to ensure the core industrial area, generally the area north of La Palma Avenue, was preserved for industrial uses. Mayor Tait responded that churches were inherently good and certainly in an area of light industrial use, remarking the East Side Church was north of La Palma. Mr. Borrego concurred adding that very generous legal nonconforming provisions were included so that those uses could stay indefinitely and could even expand without limitations, which was not necessarily typical of a nonconforming provision but in this case, it was important to protect the rights of those existing businesses and not to take any of those rights away. Mayor Tait remarked he would support this item but would ask that staff relook at that issue, adding there had been an article in the paper regarding Eastside Church which is one of those that would not have been allowed after the specific plan and one of the church members attended Rio Vista Elementary and paid for the tuition for the entire kindergarten class, adding City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 22 of 35 that is what a church does. He believed they were inherently good and did not want to see a specific plan making it more restrictive so he would be asking staff to relook at that and possibly amend it.

This is a public hearing, held pursuant to direction given at the City Council meetings on December 15, 2015 and January 12, 2016, regarding, and that may include, consideration, discussion, modification and action to adopt an ordinance approving the City Council districting map recommended in the Final Report of the Anaheim Advisory E127 Committee on Electoral Districts identified as "Recommended Plan (Map 3)," identifying which four City Council districts will hold elections in 2016 (to wit, Districts 1, 3, 4 and 5 in said map) and which two City Council districts will hold elections in 2018 (to wit, Districts 2 and 6 in said map), and addressing such other matters contained therein related to formation of six City Council districts. ORDINANCE NO. 6360 (ADOPTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending Title 1 of the Anaheim Municipal Code to add Chapter 1.26 (Election of City Council members and Establishment of Council Member Electoral Districts) to establish districts for electing members of the Anaheim City Council "by districts" and election dates for Council districts commencing with the November 8, 2016 general municipal election (Implementing Districting Plan recommended by Advisory Committee on Electoral Districts) (Introduced at Council meeting of January 26, 2016, Item No. 35). At 9:01 P.M., the public hearings were considered. City Attorney Michael Houston reported this item was to adopt Ordinance No. 6360, which approved Anaheim's first district boundary map, the district map recommended by the Advisory Committee on Electoral Districts. The ordinance was unanimously introduced at the January 26, 2016 council meeting by City Council and in addition to adopting the map, sequenced Districts 1, 3, 4 and 5 for election on November 2016 and Districts 2 and 6 at the November 2018 general municipal election. After introduction of this ordinance, he announced, the US Census Bureau released citizen voting age population special tabulation estimates for years 2010 through 2014. During this process to date, the special tabulation data from 2009 to 2013 had been used and this additional estimate was provided in a supplemental staff report as part of the publicly available agenda packet. Mr. Houston added in the event Council would like to have information on this subject, Justin Levitt, the city's demographer, was here to briefly present this additional estimate and speak to its meaning. Following that staff was available for questions. Mayor Tait opened the public hearing for comments. Mark Daniels, resident, spoke to the historical aspect of tonight's action and its importance to the community. He looked forward to the future with education and involvement of the community in civic responsibilities and a successful outcome of the districting election process. City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 24 of 35 William Fkzoeng|d, Anaheim H[)K8E, asserted district elections would not go forward offering his personal views on why Latinos could remain unrepresented. He opposed Disneyland fireworks claiming health impacts on the community and contending state agencies and state and local politicians were biased in favor of Disney. Ada Briceno, OCCORD, thanked Mayor Tait for sharing his vision for Anaheim's future and spoke to the adoption of the People's Map. She offered background on the struggle to address Anaheim's disenfranchised Latino residents and the grass roots process that led to the People's Map. She indicated comments had been raised about the new census data but for the connmnunity. District 3 remained a Latino voter registration majority, and was the most significant component for voters to elect their representative of choice. She recommended moving forward without delay towards Anaheim district elections. Jesus Villa stated he worked at the Sheraton Hotel for over 40 years and was here to support the People's Map, adding it was time for his community, for himself and for his co-workers to have the opportunity to elect a representative from their community. An unidentified speaker submitted a letter from Myrvette Judeh in support of the People's Map, discussing why the voices of the people mattered and the opportunity to participate in the democratic process in the future. Former Senator Lou Correa thanked the Anaheim citizens for being involved in this democratic process and to ensure that their voices were heard. He translated his comments into Spanish and urged council's strong support for this ordinance. Translation: Language, Spanish. Mariana Rivera thanked everyone for their support of the People's Map, explaining what it meant to her personally to be a part of this effort and how she hoped the Guinida neighborhood request for a community center could become a reality in the future. Bobby Donelsori remarked that banning STRs was very important to him but he was also here to support the People's Map. He hoped there would be a high turnout during elections and encouraged everyone to vote and make that happen. Martin Lopez stated Sherwood Village was located on what used to be Precinct 2385 and with 57 short term rentals in his comp|ex, votes would be lost from that community alone. He resided in District 4 and hoped the conclusion of this long process would end fairly with the adoption of the ordinance. Regarding the updated census information, he understood that MALDEF assured the city there was no change in their position and that District 3 continued to be a majority Latino district with 52 percent or more of registered voters and that there were two other plurality Latino districts. He urged Council to ratify the People's Map to allow the city to go forward. Jose Moreno thanked Council for working together through all the challenges and coming to this point in time to adopt an ordinance transforming city government and establishing election sequencing with Districts 1, 3, 4 and 5 in 2016. He hoped there would be unanimous approval and that the new census figures would be of little or no concern in this process as per his discussion with MALDEF. He spoke about previous actions by the City Council such as the $154 million GardenWalk subsidy, $200 million ARTIC prject, $200 million Convention Center expansion, $300 million for the proposed street car subsidy, and a 45 year moratorium on a City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 25 of 35 gate tax at Disney as being "enough" investments for corporate and resort interests while Anaheim's children relied on grants and charity. Anna Ramos Martinez supported the People's Map because she believed it would help make Council Member's jobs easier and looked forward to the conclusion of this process. Greg Dionlmnd, representing himself and his client, Brian Chuchua, to address the new census updated information. He requested Justin Levitt, city demographer, be requested to give a presentation on those new figures. Michael Houston, City Atorney, responded the staff report included supplemental information that included the census data, adding that if members of the public raised questions during the public hearing, they were entitled to do so and Council could ask for clarification as well. Mr. Diamond stated it had been presented in a number of places that the new census data would drop to about 49.1 percent in District 3 but he had done a statistical analysis using the 2009 to 2013 numbers and the 2010 to 2014 numbers and found they were both 49.1 percent, actually .01 percent apart from each other. He added Census Block Group 106, also known as Population Unit 106 extended into Fullerton from the north of District 3 and was presented to th public as having something like 1705 or 1805 citizen equivalents. It turned out there were only 291 and the reason for that was the other 1400 or so were not in Anaheim but were located in Fullerton contiguous to that district. He did not know how that could have occurred that somehow when the figures were presented to the public to calculate how to make districts even and how to make sure a district was over 50 percent, it had been coded wrong. That the number now turned out to be slightly ahort, he added it was probably now over 50 percent given the trend and he did not think it would put the city in any danger because MALDEF and LULAC stated it was not because voter registration was about 50 percent and council should have no concerns about continuing to pass the final ordinance. Rida Hamida thanked the City Clerk for her work and dedication as well as the panel of five judges who were so sincere and cared about the public's input in the process. She thanked everyone involved for making history in Anaheim tonight. Richard Toro talked about his personal involvement in the districting process, thanking Mayor Tait for listening to the voices of the people. He supported ratification of the proposed map and election sequencing and going forward from this point on. With no other comments offered, Mayor Tait closed the public hearing. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Kring moved to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 0380 , AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending Title 1 of the Anaheim Municipal Code to add Chapter 1.26 (Election of City Council members and Establishment of Council Member Electoral Districts) to establish districts for electing members of the Anaheim City Council "by diotrioto" and election dates for Council districts commencing with the November 8, 2016 general municipal election), seconded by Council Member Brandman, DISCUSSION: Council Member Murray requested Justin Levitt respond to the comments made about his statistical analyses. Mr. Levitt remarked that he did not believe the city had made a nnigtake, the data was reviewed and analyzed in the same way data was analyzed last year by aggregating all of the data down to individual census blocks; he added, for those block groups partly in Fullerton and partly in Anaheim, they were desegregated across the block group and then those census blocks in Anaheim were taken out. It was done the same way as last year and his numbers revealed there were 2982 people in the census block that Mr. Diamond identified for last year and approximately 300 in that census block this year, for the city of City Council Minutes of February 9,2016 Page 26 of 35 Anaheim. The majority population was in Fullerton, however, there was a portion in Anaheim that had been taken out. Regarding District 3, it was the second fastest growing district year to year, adding over 1,000 residents of citizens of voting age and of those, over 700 were Asian American. As such, the Asian American percentage of the district went from 13 percent to 15 percent of citizen voting age population. The district also added Latinos and 150 non-Hispanic whites and as a result of that proportion, year on year, the percentage changed just enough to get just below 50 percent. He pointed out it was important to emphasize that there is a margin of error , and this aggregated data was a small unit collected based on a survey of about 1 million people nationally a year, stating the courts told how to use that data and it comes built in with uncertainties. He believed it was very clear that District 3 was around 50 percent and he did not know what the next year would show, but he did know that the trajectory from year 2005 (which was the first year of data the city had) the trend was generally upwards. He stated this was a one year blip on the data and wanted to emphasize as well that the method used this year was the exact same method used last year; census blocks were cut appropriately in order to make sure there was no mistake in counting all of the people in a particular block group in Anaheim, even if only a fraction were actually in Anaheim. Council Member Murray asked if Mr. Diamond's evaluation was accurate based on the scientific analyses Mr. Levitt used. Mr. Levitt responded Mr. Diamond did not discuss desegregation of the data given that a census provided information at the block group level that had to be desegregated down to the block level, a process Levitt followed with the 2009-2013 data and the 2010-2014 data which allocated citizens of voting age to individual census blocks and made certain assumptions about what the proportion of the population was in each demographic group. That data then looked to the 2010 census information to make this determination. He opined Mr. Diamond looked at whole census block groups and perhaps did not look at the old data to get it down, because even using Justin Levitt's data, Mr. Diamond would have had the same results as seen in the spreadsheets, that is, 292 citizens of voting age in the census block group that Mr. Diamond commented had 1,400. Mr. Levitt also pointed out that in Anaheim that area was a retirement community and in 2010, 16 percent of that population was Latino. Of the area in Fullerton, 80 percent were Latino because it was a different city, community and neighborhood which was reflected in the city's data. Mr. Levitt stated he would stand by his work in this matter. Council Member Murray appreciated Mr. Levitt's remarks, adding that he had ensured a fair and balanced process and she was ready to move forward. As a cautionary measure, Council Member Murray reported she had reached out to both MALDEF and LULAC, both local and state chapters to ensure that the organizations who represented Latinos confirmed their position of supporting the judge's recommended map that was before Council this evening to prevent future legal challenge. She also took this opportunity to refute earlier testimony, remarking there had been a mid-year budget workshop today that highlighted the fact Anaheim was one of the most structurally sound and balanced budgets in the state with solid revenue streams and a bright fiscal future. Significant investments had been made principally in neighborhoods and public safety and she emphasized, Anaheim had an extraordinary budget and she felt it was important to refute an earlier comment on Anaheim's near penniless state. Mayor Tait restated the original motion for Council's information and vote as follows: MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Kring moved to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 6360, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending Title 1 of the Anaheim Municipal Code to add Chapter 1.26 City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 27 of 35 (Election of City Council members and Establishment of Council Member Electoral Districts) to establish districts for electing members of the Anaheim City Council "by districts" and election dates for Council districts commencing with the November 8, 2016 general municipal election (Implementing Districting Plan recommended by Advisory Committee on Electoral Districts), seconded by Council Member Brandman, DISCUSSION: Mayor Tait spoke to the lengthy process that ended in this historic moment in history, with the adoption of the recommended districting map that would change the way Anaheim would be governed, bringing government closer to the people and making city hall more accountable.

(INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending the zoning map referred to in Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to zoning (Reclassification No. 2015-00280) (DEV2015- 00057). RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM approving and adopting Conditional Use Permit No. 2015- 05804 and determining that said action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15332 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (DEV2015-00057) (1609 and 1615 West Cerritos Avenue). RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM approving Tentative Tract Map No. 17882 (DEV2015-00057) (1609 and 1615 West Cerritos Avenue). Jonathan Borrego, Planning Services Manager, reported this item was an appeal of a request to permit an 11 unit single family residential project. The zoning entitlements for the project included a zone change, a conditional use permit and a subdivision map. The Planning City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 28 of 35 Commission reviewed this proposal at its December 14, 2015 public hearing and after receiving public testimony both in favor and in opposition to the project, the Commission approved the requested actions by a vote of 6:1. He indicated an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision was subsequently filed by Ms. Linda Owen and Stephanie Bergland. Project Detail: Mr. Borrego provided the following project details: • The 1.9 acre project site was located on the north side of Cerritos Avenue just east of Euclid Street, was developed with two single family homes with surrounding land uses that included single family homes located in the RS-2 zone in all directions. • The applicant proposed to construct 11 detached single family homes with access to the homes to be provided by a new private street accessed from Cerritos Avenue. The private street would include five on-street parking spaces and all but one home would have a three car garage and a driveway with two open parking spaces. Overall, the development would supply 61 parking spaces which far exceeded the 44 spaces required by code. • The two story homes would have elements of traditional Tuscan and Italian style architecture and would range from about 3,000 square feet to 3,500 square feet in size with three different floor plans proposed consisting of 4-5 bedroom units with an option for a 6th bedroom. • The project was located in the RS-2 single family residential zone, and a reclassification or rezoning to the RS-4 zone was being requested because it allowed for lot sizes smaller than the 7,200 square feet required under the existing zoning. The proposed lots ranged from between 5,482 square feet and 6,853 square feet in size, and averaged 6,472 square feet. • The general plan land use designation for the project site was low density residential and the allowable density range for this site was up to 6.5 units per acre with the project proposed at 5.7 units per acre. • Although the proposed RS-4 zoning was not listed as a typical implementing zone for the low density residential designation, the general plan allowed typical implementation zones to be substituted provided that the general plan density was not exceeded. Therefore, the RS-4 zone may be applied to areas with low density general plan designation and this approach had been used with other recently improved infill residential development, most recently with the residential project approved on the former Riverdale Elementary School site. • Single family residential development in the RS-4 zones was allowed subject to the approval of a conditional use permit and the project met all applicable zoning code requirements for the RS-4 zone; therefore the Planning Commission approved the conditional use permit. • A tract map was required to subdivide the property to accommodate the proposed use and included 11 numbered residential lots and four lettered lots designated for the private street and landscaped areas that would be maintained by the homeowners association. The tract map complied with all applicable regulations and was consistent with the density allowed under the general plan. Public Outreach: Mr. Borrego reported City staff and the developer hosted three community meetings with homeowners residing in the surrounding neighborhood. From those meetings, he indicated residents expressed a variety of concerns regarding the proposed development. Based on the feedback received, the developer then dropped one lot from the subdivision which had the effect of increasing the average lot size from 5,700 to about 6,400 square feet and also reduced the project density from 6.3 units to the acre to 5.7 units to the acre, City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 29 of 35 currently proposed. He noted one additional issue that came up during the public outreach was the issue of short term rentals as this neighborhood was in an area that had numerous vacation rentals and in response to the concerns raioed, the applicant agreed to include a provision in the pject CC&R's to prevent their use as short term rentals and that condition of approval was included in the resolution for the tentative tract map. Appellant's Concerns: Mr. Borrego remarked the first concern raised was regarding the proposed zoning consistency with the existing low density residential general plan designation. As he had mentioned emr|ier, although it was not listed as a typical implementation zone, the RS-4 zone is allowed as long as the general plan density was nnaintainod, which was the case in this instance. Another concern raised was the smaller easements or setbacks which would be allowed under the RS-4 zone; i.e., the project as proposed actually exceeded all of the setback requirements allowed under the proposed zoning and exceeded the rear yard setbacks allowed under the RS-2 zone so in effect they actually do exceed the minimum rear yard setbacks that would otherwise be allowed if the property were to maintain its existing RS-2 zoning. Mr. Borrego reported there were also concerns raised related to communications the Planning Commission had with the developer prior to the Planning Commission meetings. He stated the members of the Planning Commission who had ex parte meetings with the developer verbally disclosed that fact at the public hearing. Another issue was regarding sidewalk gaps in the area with Mr. Borrego stating the developer would be required to install full sidewalks and parkways in front of the project site and a couple of remaining sidewalk gaps to the west of the site would be addressed through the Public Works Department grant funding for the sidewalk gap on the south side of the street with future grant funds to be pursued to close the remaining gap on the north side of Cerritos. Concerns were also raised regarding public notification efforts with Mr. Borrego indicating that all notice requirements of the project were met and verified. Mr. Borrego stated traffic impact on Cerritos Avenue was another issue discussed at the Planning Commission and during community meetings. He advised staff conducted an additional traffic analysis and found that impact to Cerritos was a very small increase generated by this project. Regarding traffic congestion on Cerritos, he indicated that the street currently operated at Level Service B and was expected to continue to operate at that level after the project was constructed as well. In response to residents' concerns about traffic on Cerritos and surrounding stnaets, he indicated the city recently received four traffic calming petitions requesting assistance in this matter. The traffic engineer held neighborhood meetings in February attended by about 50 residents who learned about neighborhood traffic management programs and spillover parking programs. He added that Traffic Engineering staff would be meeting with the neighborhood traffic calming committees in the coming weeks to begin development of traffic calming plans for this area. He ended the presentation stating both staff and the Commission believed the proposed project was designed in a manner that would provide a quality living environment for future residents and one that was compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood. Staff recommended denial for the requested appeal and to uphold the Commission's approval of this development request. Mayor Tait opened the public hearing for comments, providing specifics on the process. Linda Owen, appellant, respectfully requested a postponement of this hearing due to the lateness of the hour and because a number of individuals intending to speak had departed. Mayor Tait asked if there were any legal issues should the meeting be continued with Mr. Houston responding that the continuation should be made part of the record and that the public City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 30 of 35 hearing be left open as part of that action. Council Member Vanderbilt asked to hear from the applicant whether there was a hardship to continuing this item with the applicant responding they would agree to a continuance to the next council meeting. MOTION: Mayor Tait moved to continue Agenda Item No.17 to the next meeting and that the public hearing would remain open, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Kring. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 5: (Mayor Tait and Council Members: Brandman, Kring, Murray and Vanderbilt). NOES — 0. Motion to continue carried. Mayor Tait disclosed for the record that he had met with the applicant and received communications from the appellant. Council Member Brandman disclosed he had also met with the applicant and received communications from some of the residents in the project area. Council Member Vanderbilt remarked, upon request of the applicant, he met to discuss the project with staff present and also received numerous communications regarding the appeal. 18.

Approved, as amended. Jonathan Borrego, Planning Services Manager, reported Item No. 18 would permit a 162 unit single family attached residential project with 900 square feet of commercial space at the northeast corner of La Palma Avenue and Anaheim Boulevard. The project included an amendment to the city's General Plan, a zone change, a conditional use permit and two subdivision maps.

Project Details: Mr. Borrego highlight the following details of the proposed development: • This was a seven acre site with surrounding uses of industrial to the northeast, La Palma Park to the west across Anaheim Boulevard, and a residential neighborhood to the south across La Palma Avenue. The site was currently developed with commercial and industrial buildings. • The proposed project would include 104 townhomes, 54 duplex units, and four corner flats, with unit sizes ranging from 1,450 to 2,500 square feet in size with access to the residences provided from driveways along La Palma Avenue as well as Anaheim Boulevard. The project would also provide a common recreational area that included a recreation room and swimming pool with a small portion of the property designated for open space by the general plan and the balance of the site designated for mixed use residential. Mr. Borrego pointed out the open space designation resulted from an old street alignment but that later intersection improvements resulted in the current configurations. • The applicant was proposing to amend the general plan to remove the open space designation, to create a consistent mixed use residential designation on this site. A second general plan amendment was requested to amend the circulation element of the general plan to modify traffic circulation exhibits; i.e. to remove the diagonal right turn road connector from westbound La Palma Avenue to northbound Anaheim Boulevard and the amendment would correct the circulation map by removing this road segment. City Council Minutes of February 9, 2016 Page 32 of 35 * The projectinclVdadtmotentativetnactnnapotoacoonlnnodatatmop ject phases; the first map was for 152 condominium units and the second was for ten condominium units and a commercial unit. The smaller map included nearly half an acre at the corner of Anaheim Boulevard and La Palma Avenue and the larger map encompassed the remainder of the property. Mr. Borrego indicated the purpose of the two maps was to segregate a portion of the project area owned by the city as the Successor Agency to the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency and that this portion of the project would contain ten condominium units and the commercial area. The design would allow the applicant to move forward with grading and construction of the first phase and proceed with the second phase after the purchase of the city-owned properties was completed. * Mr. Borrego reported the development standards of the mixed use overlay zone were based on the existing underlying zone and in this case, those underlying zones were industrial and commercial and the development standards in those zones were not suitable for residential development. It is for this reason that the zoning allowed modifications to these standards through a conditional use permit process and the applicant had requested modifications to these standards to allow a minor setback reduction and to allow the prject to be developed at a density of 23 units to the acre where at the minimum 36 units to the area was typically required. The Planning Commission carefully considered these requests and determined the modifications were minor in nature and the density modification resulted in an overall superior pject design and recommended Council approval of the conditional use permit. Mr. Borrego stated an initial study and mitigated negative declaration was prepared for the project in compliance with C|EQ/\, and mitigation measures were identified and were included in the draft resolutions for the project. With implementation of these measures the project impacts would be reduced to a level considered to be less than significant and he noted staff believed the proposed project was consistent with and supported several general plan goals and policies. The development would provide a quality living environment compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and for these reasons staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval of these requests. Council Member Vanderbilt requested information on the new circulation proposal which made this a four-way intersection as opposed to having a gradual turn into northbound Anaheim Boulevard. He remarked that presently there were many that traveled north on Anaheim Boulevard and made that right turn in order to get on the freeway at the and of Anaheim Boulevard with no stop sign. He pointed out this proposal would require a forced stop. Public Works Director Natalie Meeks responded staff would time the traffic signal to allow a driver to make that right turn, however, the free right turn would be eliminated and if the light was red at La Palma/Anaheim the driver would be required to stop before making the turn, a safer movement for pedestrians who had a difficult time with non-stop traffic accessing the freeway. She added that the industry was moving away from free right turns because it was difficult for pedestrians to cross at those locations and by using a standard intersection with dual right turn lanes, it would accommodate the capacity coming north on Anaheim Boulevard. Mayor Tait opened the public hearing for comments, establishing guidelines for speakers. Ed Gallagher, Interval Communities, explained the process began in 2014 with the development of the first site plan, which had now been redesigned and created in different product types, different road alignments and revision of the intersection numerous times to accommodate the traffic flow. The architecture changed, and a corner monument with retail and four-story condominiums was designed to accommodate what worked both for the city and the developer. He added there were two maps under consideration because a portion of the projectinthe City Council Minutes of February 9,2016 Page 33 of 35 corner of La Palma/Anaheim Boulevard was owned by the Successor Agency and when the project first began, it was anticipated that the property would be freed up in time to have one map. It became clear that was not going to happen, and two maps became the alternative. He pointed out that the State approved their Long Range Management Plan at the end of 2015 and now the project could be completed in one phase. He pointed out the benefits Anaheim would see from this project: i.e., Interval Communities would reconfigure the intersection, including the traffic signal, the signal at the interchange of La Palma and Anaheim going north would be redone, some of the bus stops would be changed and widened and they would contribute to the Carl Karcher Way/Anaheim Boulevard traffic signal and improvements as well as the traffic signal at Harbor and La Palma. The total impact fees for Interval Communities, including school impact fees, was $2.5+ million and he hoped at a subsequent council meetings to be able to purchase and abandon some existing rights of way through that intersection at the corner of La Palma and Anaheim Boulevard. He added the development of this corner would promote future development in that corridor and there were a number of surrounding properties that had the mixed use overlay designation. He added the brick façade of the four story corner building would have the old urban "stoop" units that faced onto and emptied onto the main streets, in character with what the city envisioned for that area and he believed would be the first step in beautifying this location. William Fitzgerald remarked he was part owner of the property on Lemon Street across from this project and he was opposed to the project siting loss of jobs, traffic congestion, and the loss of city land. Bobby Donelson, Sherwood Village, supported the project stating it would enhance that area. His concern was the same concern he had for any residential development in the city, and that was the potential for the units to become short term rentals in the future, encouraging the city to add a restriction on the property to prohibit short term rentals in this development. Mayor Tait asked staff if there were any restrictions on short term rentals as part of the approval of this project with Mr. Borrego responded they were not included as part of this application but that staff had discussed the issue with the applicant. To the question posed, would Interval Communities be open to such a condition, Mr. Gallagher remarked that typically there was a minimum 30 day restriction for rental of property but that had not yet been determined. After some discussion, City Attorney stated, for clarification purposes, that it appeared the applicant was willing to have a restriction included on the tentative tract map that there be no rental less than 30 days allowed. The applicant's attorney responded that the applicant would agree with such a condition as described by the city attorney. With no other comments offered, the public hearing was closed. Council Member Murray thanked the applicant and staff for working together collaboratively over many months on this project that had received nearly unanimous approval before the Planning Commission and from the people who lived in the neighborhood. She stated it would beautify and provide additional retail opportunities for residents and improved traffic flows as a major gateway corridor to downtown and would be a vast improvement to the area. She also disclosed she had met with the applicant. Mayor Tait indicated he had met with the applicant as well as did Mayor Pro Tem Kring, who expressed her support for this project that would energize this part of the city. Mayor Tait added that one of his concerns on such big projects was to make sure the quality of materials used would stand the test of time, asking staff to monitor that aspect of development and he offered his support to the project as well.

DISCUSSION: Council Member Vanderbilt stated there were many positive aspects to the project but he still had concerns on the traffic flow based on his experience watching traffic stack up on Anaheim Boulevard heading north in the intersection and onto the freeway. He asked for further assurances that the traffic would actually improve with the new configuration. Natalie K8eeks, Public Works O|roctor, responded staff had conducted a number of traffic studies looking at the traffic at that intersection. Currently there was a single right hand turn lane, and the proposal was to have dual right-hand turns to accommodate the traffic moving north on Anaheim Boulevard to make that jog onto La Palma. She added staff questioned that intersection from the beginning, but after several traffic studies and with the developer giving additional dedications to allow for the right width on La Palma to accommodate the travel lanes, sidewalks and pedestrian access, she concurred with the traffic studies. Mr. Vanderbilt asked if all four sides of the intersection would have a pedestrian crossing with Ms. Meeks replying that the east side would not have a crosswalk to encourage pedestrians to cross on the west side of Anaheim Boulevard to have more free traffic movement in making that major turn. Council Member Brandman remarked he had also met with the applicant and as a resident of the Co|nny, he was familiar with this property and looked forward to seeing a transformation to this part of the city that would lead to further revitalization of this north area of Anaheim.
