Consider a resolution approving a Disposition and Development Agreement with WL
Homes, LLC. dba John Laing Homes regarding 5.3 acres located at 124 West Santa
Ana Street and making certain environmental and other findings in connection therewith.
Executive Director of Community Development, Elisa Stipkovich, stated that Items 5 and 6 were
development agreements that related to the downtown area of Project Alpha and the
commercial/industrial project area south of downtown. She noted that the Agency and Council
had approved a exclusive right to negotiate with Laing Homes and Community Development
had been working with them and the community. There had been a total of 31 meetings
regarding the Laing Homes project and ClM project (Item 6), she said, both with various boards
and commissions and community groups. She said that Item 5 was to agree to sell property
located at 124 West Savannah Street so that the developer could build a 56-unit residential
development, 36-units of the homes would be affordable. She noted that the site plan was
available and all of the economic analysis was listed in the staff report.
Mayor Daly opened the public hearing.
Robert Moore said he did not see impact provisions for designing to the impact on the
neighborhood. He said he believed that environmental impact, parking and other impacts
should be stated somewhere in the agreement.
Bill Taormina said he believed that the ownership housing project had been much needed in the
City. He said that this was the key to the re-creation of the downtown core. He said he believed
that the site plan was a result of approximately 20 iterations at a tremendous number of hours
and cost to the developer. The level of quality and craftsmanship was unlike anything that had
been built in the City before.
Jerry Zomorodian expressed his support of the project.
Mayor Daly closed the public hearing.
Mayor Daly asked what the future action items for the project were and Director Stipkovich
explained that there would be future actions to be taken by the Agency and the Council. The
Agency would be reviewing the architecture, design, color and material and Council would
review final entitlements for the site. Concerns raised by Mr. Moore would be handled at that
time, she stated, regarding specific access and egress.
Mayor Daly asked when the future actions would be brought forth and Director Stipkovich said
she believed it would be about 60-days.
Mayor Daly offered Resolution No. 2002R-222 for adoption.

Consider a resolution approving a Disposition and Development Agreement by and
between the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency and CIM California Urban Real Estate
Fund, LP, a Delaware Limited Partnership, regarding certain real property in
Redevelopment Project Alpha, and making certain findings in connection therewith.
Executive Director of Community Development, Elisa Stipkovich, noted that the project included
a library of 80,000 square feet, approximately 550 to 680 new structure parking spaces,
between 60,000 to 76,000 square feet of retail space and 223 to 520 luxury apartments. The
project would be located in the center of the downtown, between Anaheim Boulevard and
Harbor Boulevard, north of Broadway. The public improvement project would incorporate the
public library of 80,000 square feet and would be funded by the Agency and a portion of it
funded by the City, she explained, and half of the parking was replacement parking and public
parking to be used for the library. The private development would be apartments and retail
space, which was estimated at $55million of private investment to go into the downtown area,
she informed. CIM group was the developer and they had a good track record and the ability to
do the project, she noted. Community Development and CIM had been working on the site plan
and discussing with the community and a tremendous amount of public input had been placed
in the project.
Council Member Kring asked if the historic character of the bridge or walkway from the new
library to the Carnegie Museum would be maintained. Director Stipkovich said that Community
Development had many discussions with members of the Museum Board and staff and final
architecture and details of the design had not yet come forward. The final entitlements would
come back for public review and Community Development would, once again, work closely with
the Museum Board and Community.
Council Member Feldhaus noted that he had also been concerned about the integration of the
Carnegie Library and loosing the historical perspective. Director Stipkovich responded that she
understood that it was on the National Register and that was the reason that CIM was hired
since they were familiar in dealing with issues with historical requirements. She explained that
there would be 40-days for CIM to return with architectural designs and Community
Development would be working with the public before presenting the designs to the Agency and
there would need to be final entitlements for the residential mixed-use, which should take
approximately 60-days.
Mayor Daly asked if construction would begin in May 2003, if the project stayed on schedule
and Director Stipkovich said it would be May or June, 2003.
Mayor Daly asked what the sum total of the private investment in the proposed project was and
Director Stipkovich said it was $54.5 million.
Mayor Daly opened the public hearing.
Allan Jeffrey stated that he was part of a community-based group dedicated to developing a
downtown that honored the City's historic past while serving the future community needs. He
said he supported the plans for the library and the mixed-use concept for high-end apartments
along with street level retail uses. He asked what the style of architecture would be and if it
would be similar to the surrounding historic neighborhoods. If that was not the style, he said,
would it be a style that would co-exist with the existing historical structures. He said his
neighborhood recommended that a design review process be set up for the project and he
ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING MINUTES

proceeded to address funding issues. One source of funding was for the library and the other
for the apartments and retail and he said he believed that it should be mandatory that if one part
of the funding process fell through, that the other part of the project be resubmitted for review on
a stand-alone basis.
Cynthia Ward said she had the same concerns as Mr. Jeffrey and asked for a design review
process to make sure that the construction of the site was compatible with the library.
Mayor Daly asked Ms. Ward if she was comfortable with the size of the building, if the
architectural detail could be worked out. Ms. Ward responded that it was appropriate for the
site. She said she had been against any sort of physical attachment to the Carnegie because of
the National Register status and it was contrary to the Department of Interior Standards for
historical restoration and she asked to see both developments contingent upon funding of both
pieces and not be able to have one without the other.
Dean McCluskey said he had purchased the building at 225 South Harbor Boulevard, which
was undergoing $250,000 in tenant renovations and moving his advertising agency to the
downtown area. He said he was supportive of an urban environment where he and his staff
could walk to work and walk across the street to restaurants and a library was an excellent idea.
He asked that the project be tied to the development and expansion of the library and that
special consideration be taken to be certain that any bridge would be aesthetically pleasing and
was part of the architecture of the building.
Susan Faessel spoke on behalf of the public library and expressed support of the central library
project. She noted that this was a chance for Council to show support of the library.
June Lowry stated that the Anaheim Public Library Foundation supported the redevelopment
project in the Project Alpha area. The library would be a focal point for revitalization of the
downtown area, she added.
Nick Ellovaivovich said he was president of the Anaheim Museum Board of Trustees and on
behalf of the Board, said that they supported the downtown library project. The Board was
thankful, he said, for agreeing not to physically link the historic landmark Anaheim Museum
building with the new library.
Dean Reynolds said he was active in the historic society and that the project would be
advantageous to the entire community.
Ann Nupsa said she was the historian for the Anaheim Cemetery and made continual use of the
library. She said that the library offered many programs to every age group and she was in
support of the project.
Melanie Doss said she worked at Anaheim Cemetery doing research for people across the
country and had made great use of the history room in the library. She stated that she was in
support of the library project.
Bill Taormina said that when the project was finished there would be approximately 500 people
living in the central core of the City. He said that the City was fortunate to have ClM spend $55
million of their money to build the project and this would generate over $500,000 of property tax
every year.

Mayor Daly closed the public hearing.
Mayor Daly asked how the new buildings would be designed in a way that complimented the
existing, historic and Carnegie building. He noted that the downtown residents did not support a
direct physical link of the new buildings to the Museum. There may be some ways to indirectly
tie the properties together so that for appearances and usefulness, he said, there were some
linkages.
Mayor Daly asked what the direction to the architect would be if the Council approved the
agreement. Director Stipkovich said that there was a consistent comment from all of the
different groups had to do with the architecture being compatible with the buildings that were
there, particularly the Carnegie, and that it reflected the history of the City. She said that
Community Development had selected Hardy, Helzman and Pfifer who had done work for the
Los Angeles library and they were capable of understanding all of the issues. She assured
everyone that the architecture would be reviewed by all the community groups and said that
Community Development would be happy to have a workshop to give people input as the
design went forward. The architects and the developer would do the same and she said she
wanted this to be a project that everyone would want to support.
Mayor Daly asked if the architect would continue to generate ideas about how to make the most
of the museum building and how to tie it to the surrounding structures. Director Stipkovich said
that Community Development would like to have a solution to link the uses and create synergy
between the Carnegie and its uses as well as the new library. There was a problem with
handicap access that Community Development needed to deal with, she said, and the architect
would be asked to be creative and sensitive and to show the ideas and concepts to the different
groups to try and work out something that everyone would want.
Council Member McCracken noted that she had gone with the Community Development staff
and architect to Los Angeles Public Library and the renovation was more than anyone could
have dreamed that the architect would have come up with. The architect had disguised parking
and an atrium had been added onto the building and the Los Angeles Public Library building
was also a historical building, she informed. She said she believed that the architect and his
company was a very talented group of professionals and Council and staff should be working
with them to find opportunities for the new library building, residential and parking structures.
Mayor Daly offered Resolution No. 2002R-223 for adoption.
RESOLUTION NO. 2002R-223 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF

Glenn Mondo said he represented the applicant on Item B2 and that they agreed and accepted
all of the actions and conditions imposed by the Planning Commission on the project.
Don Meyers appealed to the City regarding the Lincoln Avenue beautification project and how
the lane closure had affected his business at 1771 West Lincoln. He noted that staff had met
and he asked if a decision had been reached.
City Manager Morgan stated that Mr. Meyers had representatives that were preparing detailed
information about the hardship that it would create on the business. The City wanted to study
those details, he said, and it would be revisited with the Council when the information was
received from Mr. Meyers.
Mr. Meyers said that he had given close to 1,000 signatures and Manager Morgan responded
that Council had indicated that they wanted staff to take a good look at what the impacts were.
Mr. Meyers asked what specifically Council and staff wanted him to show them.
City Attorney, Jack White, said he believed that his staff had been in contact with Mr. Meyers'
attorney and had provided his attorney with the City's view of the situation and the attorney
agreed to provide substantial information about how the median affected the business and what
it would do as far as requiring large vehicles to access the property in a different way. Attorney
White said he understood that median islands created inconvenience to businesses as well as
impacting the traffic flow and what the City was trying to ascertain was how significant for the
business the impacts would be. More information could be transmitted to Council to determine
whether there would need to be any change in the current plan, he added.
Michael Baker thank the Council for their continued support of the Boys and Girls Clubs of
Anaheim.

ten years. Executive Director of Planning and Community Development, Joel Fick, noted that
staff's recommendation had been consistently five-years. He said that staff had concerns about
the project because of the large number of antennas and the Planning Commission had heard
from the applicant about this being a regional facility and critical to their overall network and
consequently gave them a ten-year time limitation.

Readvertised from the meeting of October 1,2002, Item C2).
Planning Director, Joel Fick, announced that the City received a letter from the State dated
October 11, 2002 advising that the housing element was in compliance with State law. He
noted that Planning Commission had re-reviewed the element and recommended approval.
Mayor Daly noted that the State suggested that if any of the identified sites were not developed
according to their preferences; namely density and affordability, that the housing element may

have to be amended in the future. He asked if there was an inventory of the proposed sites to
be developed with affordable housing.
Mr. Fick responded that there was and was monitored annually.
Mayor Daly asked how many of the units were proposed in the Mountain Park Development and
Elisa Stipkovich, Community Services Director, answered that the current housing element
indicated over 8,000 units. Mayor Daly asked how many would have to be affordable under the
proposed housing element and Ms. Stipkovich replied that the City did not identify where the
affordable units were, but did identify where, number of units and the density of each type of
development. She added that the State made certain interpretations based on the densities in
terms of what they felt would be affordable.
Council Member McCracken added that the new State requirement pertaining to the change of
density was State law.
In response to a question from Mayor Daly regarding the 8,000 units at Mountain Park, Mr. Fick
responded that the housing element reflected the current adopted plan by the City, which
reflected the current specific plan.
Mayor Daly asked if only 2,000 units were built instead of the proposed 8,000, regardless of the
percentage of the units, if any, are considered affordable, would that increase the burden of
providing Iow income housing in other parts of the City.
Mr. Fick said he did not believe so.
Mayor Daly opened the public hearing.
Scott Darrell, Executive Director of the Kennedy Commission, noted that their community
members and volunteers with the Commission had been involved in reviewing and making
recommendations on the housing element and focused towards encouraging policies that would
allow affordable housing production. He said that while they felt the document was still flawed,
they were pleased to see the commitment from the City to continue to work with community
members to put together an affordable housing ordinance. He acknowledged the staff that had
worked on the proposed element.
Mayor Daly asked Mr. Darrell if he felt there was a city in Orange County that had done more
regarding the affordability challenges than Anaheim. Mr. Darrell answered that there were cities
that were doing more in terms of producing more, such as Irvine and San Clemente.
Mayor Daly asked about the overall housing stock for affordability. Mr. Darrell said the City of
Anaheim deserved recognition for the community revitalization programs and the rehabilitation
of existing housing stock. He added that what the Kennedy Commission was advocating was
production of units to meet the workforce demands.
Mayor Daly wondered about the fairness of focusing on the production of new units, noting that
Irvine's existing housing stock was no where near as affordable as Anaheim's.
Mr. Darrell noted the fairness was a valid question, that the housing element law was not a fair
law.

Hearing no further testimony, Mayor Daly closed the public hearing.
Mayor Daly explained that the City of Anaheim had been the affordable housing leader in
Orange County for years and yet did not receive credit for it by the State.
Council Member Tait agreed that there was not a good choice and he urged State legislators to
work on the housing requirements. He felt the City carried more than its fair share of the
affordable housing burden.
Mayor Daly moved, seconded by Council Member Kring, to approve the CEQA Finding of
Negative Declaration. Motion carried unanimously.
