WORKSHOP— FY 2016/17 PROPOSED BUDGET PRESENTATIONS (Finance, Police
Department and Fire & Rescue Department
Debbie Moreno, Finance Director, presented an overview of the proposed FY 2016/17 budget.
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK: Ms. Moreno reported the U.S. economy continued to move forward at
a steady pace and was expected to continue at this pace for the next couple of years with the
real GDP figures projected to grow by a modest 2.7 percent in 2016. She noted consumer
spending had been an important factor in the recovery, along with the improving labor markets,
better home valuations, higher income and wages and lower gas prices benefitting the U.S.
consumer. An average of 2.7 million jobs had been added over the last three years and
unemployment was expected to decline below 5 percent this year. For California, Ms. Moreno
remarked, jobs had increased annually at 3 percent, higher than the U.S. rate of 2.1 and
California was the 4th fastest pace among the states with growth expected to increase
statewide. Specific to Orange County, growth was impressive in a broad area of employment
sectors with the most growth occurring in the construction industry at 10.2 percent in 2015
resulting in the highest number of housing permits since 2002. Anaheim's hospitality and
leisure industry also experienced significant growth and, she pointed out, Disneyland
attendance was at an all-time high with hotel and motel occupancy rates at record levels. Staff
expected that trend to continue into the next fiscal year.
FY 2016/17 BUDGET BY FUND: Totaling $1.7 billion, Ms. Moreno stated the proposed budget
represented an increase of four percent from the FY 2015/16 adopted budget with a breakdown
as follows:
City Council Minutes of June 14, 2016
Page 2 of 27
Enterprise Funds (48%) Consisted of Water, Electric, & Sanitation Utilities, Golf Courses,
Convention, Sports & Entertainment venues, and ARTIC and were
higher by 3 percent due to infrastructure projects focused on improving
reliability.
General Fund (17%) Totaled $299.6 million -An increase of 5 percent over the current year
adopted budget as a result of on-going service enhancements of$2.9
million and increased labor costs mainly in public safety and a modest
inflationary growth.
Internal Services (14%) Higher by 8% due to employee benefit costs.
Special Revenues (10%) Higher by 7% due to planned land acquisitions in the Housing
Authority.
Capital Projects (5%) Lower by 2% as a result of completion of street construction and other
development projects.
Debt Service (5%) Higher by 3% due to scheduled increases in debt service for Anaheim
resort improvements.
Fiduciary Funds (2%) Higher by 4% due to bond funded capital projects in the Successor
Agency.
Other (1%) Other general purpose funds were higher than adopted primarily due to
increased spending in the areas of economic and community
development.
PERSONNEL: Ms. Moreno reported the proposed budget consisted of a full time complement of
1,929 positions with staff focusing on maximizing efficiencies rather than expanding the
workforce. She explained the only new positions proposed for those directly serving the
community were in public safety. The 14 new positions included ten new officers under the 3rd
year of the Council's 40-in-4 initiative, two dispatch positions in the Metro City Fire Authority
JPA, funded 70 percent by partner agencies, and two new council members. She stressed that
of the existing positions, about 14 percent, were hired under the new PEPRA pension formula.
BUDGET BY FUNCTION: Ms. Moreno reported that more than 30 percent of the city budget
was related to non-operating costs such as capital improvements, JPA operations, resort and
fiduciary debt service, and employee benefits. Of the remaining operating costs, 36 percent
related to Providing the Necessities (Public Works and Public Utilities Departments), Ensuring
Quality of Life at 18 percent (Planning and Building, Community and Economic Development,
Community Services and Convention, Sports and Entertainment), and Keeping us Safe (Police
and Fire) at 12 percent. Supporting Activities (Finance and Human Resources) totaled 2
percent while Administering Efficient Government made up the remaining 1 percent of the total
city budget.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM: The total capital improvement program or CIP for FY
2016/17 reflected $295.6 million with no projects planned for the General Fund and most
projects supported by restricted funding sources. Highlights of the proposed CIP included
expansion of the Convention Center, development of the new community center and
gymnasium, as well as a complete renovation of Ponderosa Park, street construction and
arterial roadway improvements. Ms. Moreno pointed out that next week's budget workshop
would focus on the accomplishments and future projects in the capital improvement program.
GENERAL FUND: Ms. Moreno remarked the General Fund (GF) was the main repository of tax
revenues and discretionary funds and the proposed budget reflected 17% of the total $1.7 billion
citywide budget. GF revenues were projected at $300.3 million, a 3% increase over the current
year on-going revenue projections and derived from the big three revenue generators, i.e.,
City Council Minutes of June 14, 2016
Page 3 of 27
transient occupancy taxes (TOT), sales, and property taxes. With the significant growth
Anaheim has experienced, staff was expecting revenues to taper off and moderate in later years
and had revised projections at the mid-year workshop, however, it was now expecting funds to
exceed those projections by another two percent. Last fiscal year, 2015/16, TOT had been
projected to grow 17 percent over the prior year and between 7-8 percent in the next two years.
She added that while measurable growth in TOT was expected in FY 2017/18 upon the
completion of the Convention Center expansion, staff expected much more conservative growth
in years four and five. Regarding sales tax revenues, they had been projected to increase 4
percent in FY 2016/17 with steady growth of between 4-5 percent through FY 2018/19 before
stabilizing at average CPI growth in years four and five. Property tax revenues as well were
expected to have moderate growth of less than 4 percent per year before settling at normal
growth in later years.
ANAHEIM RESORT FISCAL IMPACT: Ms. Moreno reported that in terms of net cost, the
Anaheim Resort had a positive fiscal impact on the city. Revenues generated from the Resort
were $163.3 million with a debt service outflow of$92.8 million, leaving $75.5 million or nearly
one quarter of the city's GF budget to provide for core services across the city. She
emphasized that amount paid for: 155 police officers, five fire companies, the citywide graffiti
abatement, the entire GF budget for parks and libraries, all the community centers, recreation
centers, family resource centers and gymnasiums in the city, including street light power and
street tree maintenance and the maintenance of 5.8 million square feet of medians and
parkways. The proposed GF expenditures totaled $299.6 million, with nearly 2/3 expended on
public safety, another 24 percent spent on providing the necessities and ensuring quality of life.
The remaining 10% was spent on supporting activities and government administration.
FY 2016/17 FOUR KEY BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS: Ms. Moreno detailed the priorities and key
assumptions for developing the budget: 1) all operating budgets were balanced which meant
recurring revenues were at least equal to recurring expenditures. She pointed out while the
budget document showed some funds with a draw on reserves, those draws were for one-time
projects where the city received set aside monies or for which it would be reimbursed by
granting agencies; 2) The proposed base budget emphasized Council's priority of public safety
and neighborhood services and included consideration for labor and benefit costs and other
long-term obligations; 3) opportunities for service enhancements were identified with $7.3
million available for one-time neighborhood and public safety priorities; and 4)this budget had
been accomplished while maintaining existing service levels including the ongoing service
enhancements adopted in previous years.
She explained each year the process of building the budget began with maintaining existing
service levels and included those ongoing service enhancements adopted by Council in the last
three years which reflected $9.2 million enhancements for Public Safety, including more than 30
new police officers, expansion of the public safety career pipeline, one new fire company, three
new firefighters as well as other safety personnel. Ms. Moreno noted while public safety and the
Council's 40-in-4 Initiative to add police officers had been a top priority, neighborhoods were
also of importance, and the city added more than $3 million in services into neighborhoods and
in addition to street improvements, added after school programs and a number of other
programs directly serving Anaheim youth. Additionally, along with ongoing service
enhancements, available funds to support one time endeavors for infrastructure improvements
and neighborhood projects were added reflecting $7.2 million and while some of the projects
were initially approved for one time funding, service enhancements such as library hours,
training for new firefighters, and mobile recreational programs were built into subsequent years
as core service levels. She stressed the proposed FY 2016/17 budget continued to emphasize
City Council Minutes of June 14, 2016
Page 4 of 27
Council's core priorities of public safety and neighborhood services and in addition to the
enhancements adopted over the past three years, the budget also commenced funding to
priority services including ten new police officers, continuation of the successful Community
Care Response Unit program, a full year of operating costs for the Miraloma Family Resource
Center, and staffing to make school facilities available for community use. She added all of
these programs had been included in the base budget and were sustainable in the five year
plan.
THE FIVE YEAR PLAN: Ms. Moreno commented that recurring revenues continued to be
greater than recurring expenditures, which showed the city had a structurally balanced budget
over this five year period. Ongoing service enhancements of$2.9 million were built into the
proposed budget and included the final ten officers of the 40-in-4 Initiative and operation of
Ponderosa Park Family Resource Center expected to open in FY 17/18. In addition, revenue
over performance in the current year was expected to yield $7.3 million that would be available
for one time neighborhood improvements or projects, leaving a final surplus of less than $1
million.
Based on the Five Year Plan, staff was recommending $7.3 million in public safety, street
improvements and park and neighborhood enhancements of a one-time nature. For public
safety, funding was proposed for replacement of the backbone of the countywide 800 MHZ
radio system, the first phase already replaced and the second phase planned for next year (a
one-time cost of$3 million that would be funded by revenue transfer from the GF). Also, a one-
time project for Fire and Rescue that would be detailed by Chief Bruegman later in the
presentation. Other components of the $7.3 million would include street improvements that
would address aging infrastructure and long overdue repairs to streets, sidewalks, curbs and
gutters, upgrading of library software, online tutoring at public libraries, athletic field renovations
and the replacement of playground equipment at three Anaheim parks.
Council Member Murray inquired if there was a cooperative agreement in place with the
Anaheim Union School District. City Manager, Paul Emery, responded funds had been
identified in the budget to develop relationships not only with the Anaheim Union High School
District for joint field use, but with other school districts as well. He indicated $100,000 had
been allocated to supplement staffing to ensure programming was handled appropriately and
$100,000 for fields dependent on agreements put in place. Council Member Murray asked that
in the final budget, staff notate those funds would be available for all school districts. She also
requested that as capital improvement projects were implemented, that signage be utilized to
reflect the project was funded by their local government.
POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET: Ms. Moreno introduced the Police Department proposed
budget for FY 2016/17, consisting of General Fund monies of$129.9 million out of a total
budget of$143.4 million that included service enhancements adopted in prior years as well as
ten new police officers in FY 2016/17.
Police Chief Raul Quezada highlighted some of the department's accomplishments over the
past year and outlined a path for the coming fiscal year. Community engagement remained a
top priority and the department would continue to invest in programs and personnel that built
upon the progress that had been made over the past several years. He indicated that FY
2016/17 was the 3rd year of city council's initiative to add ten officers per year over a four year
period that allowed the implementation of additional community policing strategies that directly
impacted neighborhoods.
City Council Minutes of June 14,2016
Page 5 of 27
COMMUNITY POLICING: From a low of four officers during the recession, the Chief pointed
out the community policing team now had 14 officers working to address crime and problems
while engaging residents in their assigned areas. Outreach efforts would be increased in
neighborhoods with the addition of the mobile PACE program used in local neighborhoods that
offered members opportunities to become familiar with department programs and processes, a
program offered in both English and Spanish. Over the past 12 months, officers, civilian staff
and volunteers facilitated more than 200 community outreach and education opportunities as
the department continued to expand the successful neighborhood and business watch program
aimed to reduce and prevent crimes. He added Coffee with a Cop was another opportunity for
residents to talk and get to know officers in a casual setting.
YOUTH PROGRAMS: Via the Junior Cadet, Police Explorer and GRIP programs, Chief
Quezada stated that more than 3,000 Anaheim youths had been positively impacted by
participating and in the coming year, the department looked forward to examining the current
curriculum to identify any needs or gaps to enhance what was currently offered. Cops 4 Kids
served children between the ages of 5 and 17 who resided in or attended school in Anaheim
and was aimed at establishing positive relationships among youth, police and the community.
Participation in the drop-in programs and organized field trips continued to increase annually,
with the program temporarily at Lincoln Elementary School until a permanent location could be
identified. In the current fiscal year, over 4,500 clients used the services of the Orange County
Family Justice Center (OCFJC), which included counseling, financial support, shelter services,
civil and legal services, safety planning and advocacy. Through direct victim assistance
programs such as Adopt a Family Back to School event, he indicated the Department served 71
youths and their families. In addition, the OCFJC foundation violence prevention classes
reached over 500 children and families. This fiscal year, he pointed out, the OCFJC welcomed
the addition of the Mexican Consulate as an onsite collaborative partner providing victim
assistance services to clients.
Providing Anaheim middle school students exposure to career opportunities in the police and
fire services since 2014, the Public Safety Pipeline would now offer curriculum to students in
their second year in the program; this project would be completed in collaboration with Brick
Consulting and Sycamore Jr. High School staff. He advised the department was looking
forward to expanding to the high school level, offering a complete public safety pipeline from
elementary to high school with a vision of extending it into college.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT: Emergency management and training sessions allowed
personnel to ensure appropriate and current emergency response plans were in place for both
planned and unplanned events such as the recent Donald Trump Rally at the Convention
Center.
HOMELESS EFFORTS: The homeless outreach team in their collaborative work with nonprofit
organizations and the faith-based community assisted in relocating 540 individuals into
supportive, permanent housing. He remarked it was anticipated the county's first multi-resource
shelter for the homeless population would open in Anaheim in 2017 and offer a much needed
tool and resource to augment the methodology and manner to serve Anaheim's homeless
population.
TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM: Chief Quezada explained the main goal of the traffic safety
program was to reduce injury traffic collisions and to accomplish this, traffic safety personnel
provided safety presentations to more than 22,000 students and 1,300 adults, and would
continue this program in the upcoming fiscal year. He pointed out as new officers were added
City Council Minutes of June 14,2016
Page 6 of 27
to the ranks, it was critical to begin development of these new employees early on, with the goal
of sharing the decades of experience of veteran officers while keeping them connected with the
front line operations of patrol. For that purpose, he stated, the department instituted a rotation
whereby detectives, investigative and other special assignment personnel periodically worked
alongside fellow officers in patrol.
ADVISORY BOARDS: Three advisory boards provided important advice to the department
through the Chief's Neighborhood Advisory Council which consisted of 22 neighborhood
representatives across the city, the Youth Advisory Board that reflected students who were
committed to making positive changes in their community focusing on graffiti and bullying, and
the Chief's Advisory Board that represented key Anaheim stakeholders, including
superintendents, business leaders, advocacy groups and faith based organizations providing
insight and counsel on issues, trends and events that posed challenges to the department.
PERSONNEL/DIVISIONS/TECHNOLOGY: The department recruited and hired the best
qualified candidates reflective of the diversity of the city for its sworn and professional staff. He
shared a larger more dynamic recruiting team was being assembled for the purpose of
attending career fairs, community events, colleges, military institutions and other venues to
attract potential candidates.
The patrol section would take future ownership of the criminal activity occurring on each
respective patrol shift and actively contribute to the department's collective response to
emerging crime trends and hotspots. In addition, the traffic section would conduct real time
analysis to identify causes of injury for traffic collisions and lead enforcement and education
efforts at high collision locations. Anaheim would continue to serve as the lead agency for the
OC Human Trafficking task force. He noted this task force was now comprised of seven
investigators and one supervisor who focused efforts on rescuing victims from lives of criminal
servitude and bringing traffickers and pimps to justice. Recent achievements include
collaboration with the Mexican consulate in the training of their entire staff and community
leaders on this crime and to spot signs of potential trafficking. A separate collaboration with the
Asian American Chamber of Commerce resulted in over$10,000 in donations received to assist
victims of human trafficking. In addition, a faith based advisory council was established for the
purpose of organizing OC faith-based communities to assist the task force in meeting the gap in
services for victims of human trafficking. He added the task force would soon be rolling out a
human trafficking and awareness campaign, entitled End Demand in 2016, to be presented to
men's groups across the county from both faith-based organizations and civic groups.
OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS/GOALS:
• In FY 2015/16, the Department focused on high impact operations which resulted in 49
felony arrests and 69 misdemeanor arrests, to date. The high impact enforcement was not
only a department-wide effort but also a multi-agency collaboration. The concept, he
explained, was to address crime through real time intelligence led policing concepts which
identified and targeted crime hotspots and prolific offenders released from custody as a
result of Prop 47 who were likely to reoffend.
• The Field Services Division was in the process of initiating a customer satisfaction survey to
obtain feedback from individuals who recently interacted with traffic, patrol or investigative
services. The feedback will allow the department to adjust efforts to provide the maximum
amount of services where it was most needed.
• In the ongoing effort to deliver the highest level of service in emergency communications
and dispatch, the Communications Center Quality Assurance Program would be expanded
City Council Minutes of June 14,2016
Page 7 of 27
to identify additional dispatcher training needs, learning opportunities and exemplary
service. Furthermore, the department would conduct an examination and analysis of call
volume and response times, by district, in order to ensure staffing resources were
adequately and efficiently distributed.
• In FY 2016/17, the department would be working with a university consultant to examine
the allocation of resources department-wide to identify opportunities and gaps to better
structure and align personnel to meet current and future demands.
• Embarking on the third year of the 40 in 4 initiative, an additional ten officers would be
added to patrol to fulfill the core function of emergency response and front line service
delivery. These additional officers will be instrumental in the ongoing commitment to lower
response times while maintaining the highest level of public safety service for residents,
visitors and businesses.
• This past year the APD participated in the California State University of Long Beach Body
Worn Camera Study to examine customer satisfaction with body worn cameras with
preliminary results indicating a higher level of public satisfaction when officers were
equipped with and used body worn cameras. The final report is expected in the coming
months and would be presented to the Public Safety Board.
• The park camera project would maximize available technology to enhance ability of
specialized units to stay ahead of trends and the department was working on an overt
camera project at four Anaheim parks. This project would allow better monitoring of parks
by police personnel and the ability for police dispatchers to verbally respond to activities
observed in real time. The implementation of this system was another incremental step to
enhance public safety through crime prevention, investigative capabilities and public
awareness.
• Communication personnel would be exploring the possibility of setting up a real time crime
center in the communications center with the goal to provide timely research of databases
and open source information. This Center would assist officers in the field who were
responding to and handling crimes that were in progress along with dynamic incidents.
This would further provide invaluable and detailed information to the responding officers to
enhance the safety of the public and police personnel while also increasing solvability and
successful resolution to the incidents.
• The department was also implementing a program called Drug Free Anaheim, an
innovative approach that leveraged the work of other institutions and service providers to
offer addiction treatment and resources as an alternative to criminal prosecution to those
individuals who demonstrated the willingness and drive to end their drug addiction and
make lasting changes in their lives. Chief Quezada added that, unfortunately, the
department was notified they would not be receiving grant funding for this program, but was
still committed to launching it to offer an alternative to the drug lifestyle and make a
difference.
• A major incident review team comprised of personnel from the Department, the Office of
Independent Review, the City Attorney's Office and Risk Management would rapidly debrief
and analyze the facts surrounding major or impactful incidents to facilitate decision making
related to training needs, tactics, policies and procedures, equipment, command and
control and community impact.
• Focusing on continued improvement, the Department conducted an annual strategic
planning meeting to assess and develop specific goals and objectives in anticipation of
future opportunities, challenges, trends and events. Held in January this past year, the
most recent plan review was one of the most productive and provided clarity and purpose
for the upcoming year.
City Council Minutes of June 14, 2016

• Providing highlights of the department's achievements, innovations, programs and
activities, the APD year-end review of 2015 was complete and now available in print edition
or via the department website.
In summary, Chief Quezada reported that during the five year period from 2010 to 2015, there
had been a total call volume increase of five percent, and calls for service increased by 11
percent, while personnel complaints from the community decreased by 44 percent. During the
past three fiscal years, new program participants increased from 2,100 in 2013 to 2,750 in FY
2015/16. In addition, Anaheim had the second lowest violent crime rate in the nation among
cities over 300,000 in population and ranked eighth in property crimes and overall crimes in the
same group. He noted while there were opportunities for improvement in terms of crime
prevention, these numbers were a testament to the commitment of the City Council, all city
departments to public safety, and that the Anaheim Police Department looked forward to
continuing efforts to form a stronger relationship with the community.
FIRE & RESCUE DEPARTMENT
Fire Chief Randy Bruegman reported the Fire & Rescue budget for FY 2016/17 reflected $69.1
million of general fund monies and included service enhancements adopted in prior years such
as the conversion of two part-time safety inspectors, the addition of three firefighters last year to
Engine 7, implementation of a cadet program and following a successful pilot project, the
continuation of the Community Care Response Unit. He indicated it also included funding for
new hires and the firefighter training academy for 12 firefighters. The department employed 275
personnel; 208 sworn, 67 civilians and 10.9 part-time full-time equivalents. In the past year, he
noted there had been a significant increase in call volumes, 16.5 percent in one year likely
attributable to an aging population and the impact of the Affordable Health Care Act with more
people being insured. The breakdown of calls were similar to the past, 85 percent medical, four
percent fire, five percent for other emergencies and six percent service calls. For MetroNet
Communications, calls were up system-wide by 11 percent and the department experienced, to
date, about 3.8 percent increase. He added as the proposed budget was being prepared, that
fact was taken into account as well as review of the Strategic Plan document.
Chief Bruegman thanked the Chief's Advisory Committee that provided excellent feedback
throughout the year. He reported the department submitted its second annual compliance report
to the Commission on Fire Accreditation that was recently accepted and the city had been
awarded the Fire Protection Classification of ISO Class I as of April 1, 2016. He pointed out that
Anaheim was one of 33 cities that received a Class I rating and agency accreditation of about
40,000 agencies that were evaluated by both. The department would continue with preemption
signalization of 25 intersections this past year and because OCTA had stepped up some of their
synchronization, the department was able to install its devices on seven signals this past year
and was in the process of installing an additional 24 along the La Palma Corridor in the next 18
months. He emphasized that program had a significant impact on the department's ability to
reduce travel times.
The department also implemented a Community Care Response Unit last May and began
working on capital projects. Chief Bruegman advised both the Strategic Plan and Standard of
Cover would be updated and before Council for consideration next spring.
FIRE STATION/FIRE EQUIPMENT UPDATE: Staff identified the relocation of existing
resources with the first priority of any capital expenditure being to reduce time to emergencies,
therefore the plan to relocate Station 5 from Kraemer to 2540 La Palma/Sunkist was underway.
City Council Minutes of June 14, 2016
Page 9 of 27
Chief Bruegman indicated the existing building at the La Palma site had been demolished, the
lot prepped for construction, and staff was in the process of selecting a builder/architect for the
design/build project slated to begin later this year. Fire Station 12 at 4950 E. La Palma would
house an engine company from Fire Station 8, a dual company house that would have another
unit moved into that location once the project was completed —all of this he explained would
provide for a better distribution of the department's resources. He continued, two new engines
had been ordered and would be delivered in September along with required apparatus and
would be placed into service shortly thereafter. In addition, the new Quint ladder truck was also
in the next year's proposed budget. Two Type 6 control units were in the process of being
ordered and their equipment and placed into service at some point in the next fiscal year and
one additional Type 3 unit would be added to the existing fleet of four Type 3 units to bring the
total to five and give the department more horse power for Urban Interface Wildfires by being
able to respond to those more effectively.
RECRUITMENTS: In May, he pointed out, ten new firefighters were placed in the field and
currently there were nine openings with the potential of up to 24 firefighter/paramedic vacancies.
MetroNet would also be adding two dispatchers due to increased call volumes and as a member
of the JPA, the Department's share of the cost based on a percentage, was about $61,000+
and was included in the budget.
COMMUNITY CARE RESPONSE UNIT: Chief Bruegman reported this collaborative pilot
project began on Memorial Day last year and to date, this unit dispatched over 8,000 calls, with
323 patient contacts with 51 percent of those contacts treated by the nurse practitioner in the
field, and released with no hospitalization required. Another significant statistic was that after
the CCRU responded, 92 percent of the time, the ALS units that typically would have taken that
person to the hospital and be tied up for 30 minutes to an hour, were able to be released for
more critical calls. He added that the project was given the Public Safety Award for
public/private partnerships by the Association of California Cities, Orange County this past week
and staff was proud of the collaboration and impact this unit was making on the health of the
Anaheim community.
Last year the Fire Prevention Life Safety Division was renamed the Community Risk Reduction
Division which was becoming the industry standard and would focus on multiple efforts to
reduce risk in the city and coordinate inspection services for events at the Convention Center.
The Department was also in the final phases of completing a 6,900 square foot demonstration
garden at Fire Station 10 to showcase drought tolerant and fire resistant landscaping, welcomed
the Ready, Set, Go Block Party at Fire Station 10 for education on fire safety and wildland urban
interface, and conducted 51 used oil filter exchange events at various businesses throughout
the city. In addition, over 20,000 residents participated in 30 community events promoting used
oil and household hazardous waste recycling and the Hazardous Materials Section provided
specialized inspection and assistance in reporting requirements to the state to help business
owners meet their legal requirements. Chief Bruegman stated the focus on next year was home
safety and fire visits, a proven way to reduce fire deaths and injuries throughout the city; and
with that goal in mind, the Department was launching a multi-faced approach. Through a Fire
and Life Safety grant, the department would begin to install 12,000 smoke alarms throughout
the community and along with that offer a safety check and education. He indicated that grant
also provided for two more Smokey Bear signs to be located at Stations 9 and 8. This past
year, a comprehensive vegetation management program began and focused on Deer Canyon
and Pelanconi Parks. He pointed out the department managed the city's Automated External
City Council Minutes of June 14,2016
Page 10 of 27
Defibrillators, with 120 units located in 42 city facilities. Those units would be replaced next
year with an electronic monitoring internet based system.
Chief Bruegman noted that last year, the Department grew its presence on social media for
community risk reduction measures. They also supported the Every 15 Minute program
reaching over 3,500 junior and senior high school students educating them about the dangers of
drinking and driving and also supported the Spark of Love program, helping to stuff 31 buses
that distributed over 147,000 toys for Christmas throughout the county. The Wear Your Helmet
Like A Pro program supported by Disneyland, the Angels and the Ducks, provided for the
distribution of 1,100 safety helmets last year and to date, the department had given over 4,500
helmets to children throughout the community. He added then when fire staff participated in
these events, they were able to engage directly with members of the community in a non-
emergency manner and provide education and information.
SUPPLEMENTAL REQUESTS: Chief Bruegman reported that included in the proposed budget
were supplemental requests to address some of the ongoing organizational needs with
$325,000 earmarked for replacement of vehicles. Also budgeted was $290,000 to replace the
West Net, an electronic alert system for firefighters, with a direct link to a CAD system. Another
$200,000 would be used to continue the traffic signal preemption, with the Department
anticipating to complete another 25 traffic lights, bringing the total number of lights retrofitted to
90. And, lastly there was $135,000 budgeted for next year's academy to purchase equipment
needed for the recruits to enter the academy.
Council Member Murray thanked the Chiefs for their presentations and wondered if there could
be a way to help promote or provide heart defibrillators in the schools in some capacity. She
was pleased that revenues continued to outpace projections that allowed the City to continue
the 40—in-4 Initiative. Council Member Brandman remarked that with Fire & Rescue down by
nine positions, it was a better position than three years ago as the city was just coming out of
the recession.
PUBLIC COMMENTS RE FY 2016/17 BUDGET:
William Fitzgerald offered his views on Anaheim politics and the impact to city services.
Cynthia Ward requested the following regarding signage on city capital improvement projects:
requested if bonds were involved, that should be disclosed along with the amount required to
repay the bonds before project completion and whether agreements were secured from trade
shows committing to the Anaheim Convention Center because of the expansion project. She
pointed out that Anaheim's General Fund was no better off than other cities because of the
Resort presence, because they managed to pay for the same core services as Anaheim did on
property and sales tax revenues. Mayor Pro Tem Kring remarked that both NAMM and Natural
Products had long-term contracts with the city and would not have signed those contracts
without the expansion of the Convention Center. With regard to Resort revenues generated,
Council Member Murray stated other cities were looking at tax increases and Anaheim did not
have to take that approach during the recession or at any point after the recession.
Receiving no further public comments, at 4:39 P.M., the FY 2016/17 Budget public hearing was
continued to June 21, 2016 at 3:00 P.M. for discussion of the remaining department proposed
budgets ending with final adoption of the budget document.

Council for consideration.
Michael Robbins, resident, addressing the Short Term Rental (STR) issue announced that the
post office listed STRs as vacant homes with no mail delivered which represented a loss of
around $600 per year per home or$300,000 annually to the U.S. Postal Service along with
numerous other negative impacts from STRs. He then read an article from Dublin, Ireland,
speaking out against STRs that skewed the market when it came to sales and rents. He
pointed out the problem was worldwide and he hoped it would be stopped here in Anaheim.
Jeanine Robbins, resident, remarked the importance to not only ban future STRs but to ban the
existing facilities. She detailed a specific incident that happened on May 16th and asked Council
for a complete ban on STRs.
City Council Minutes of June 14,2016
Page 13 of 27
Mike Eveland pointed out that City Council's biographers spoke about advocating for Anaheim
families and communities and he hoped Council would live up to their word and completely ban
STRs on June 29th with no permit renewals issued as of July 31st
Cecile Eveland stated she had purchased her family home with the intent of making it a final
destination and because of the impacts from nearby STRs, she had given up and was selling
her home. She urged Council to fix this problem and ban STRs, both old and new.
Regina Powers, Anaheim Union High School librarian, supported the effort to establish a poet
laureate for Anaheim, remarking it was a way to connect young people with literature in new and
exciting ways. Mayor Pro Tern Kring requested information on the process with Ms. Powers
responding that possibly representatives of the Anaheim public library or other school districts
could be involved in selecting a poet laureate who might live in Anaheim or relate to Anaheim in
some manner.
Nicole Zarate represented PATH, a community service program aimed at creating a safe and
healthy Orange County by eliminating problems associated with alcohol and providing
responsible beverage service training to establishments selling alcohol. To date, she remarked,
PATH had trained nearly 400 bartenders in Anaheim working closely with the Alcohol Beverage
Control staff for that purpose. She highlighted local establishments that voluntarily had staff and
management trained, the Phoenix Club and certain restaurants within the Packing House.
Duane Roberts, resident, reported on the outcome of a complaint he filed against Chief Raul
Quezada regarding statements made of the events at the KKK rally on February 27th remarking
the complaint had not been sustained. He spoke to the need for city staff to get key facts
straight before delivering information to the public and that he would not pursue the matter any
further.
Mark Daniels, resident, talked about the loss of Amin David, a long-time community leader and
activist who founded the Los Amigos of Orange County. He announced a memorial service
planned at St. Anthony's Claret Church on June 20th and invited the community to attend and
further recommending that Little People's Park be renamed after Amin David.
Pam Donelson spoke out against STRs, detailing the negative impacts she and others in
Sherwood Village experienced and submitted a map that revealed just how many STRs were in
this small townhome complex. She urged a complete ban on STRs.
Bobby Donelson, Sherwood Village, encouraged the public to attend the public hearing on June
29th regarding STRs in the city. He repeated language used by STR renters towards his wife
and granddaughter and further warned of the political consequences should STRs continue in
Anaheim. In addition, he took exception to the request to hold applause for public comments,
emphasizing he wanted the ability to support other's comments.
Council Member Murray remarked when profanity was repeated in the council chambers, it went
out into the living rooms of every resident and child listening asking that the public exercise
caution when they speak. She further remarked that Mayor Pro Tern Kring was not stopping the
public's right to speak by asking to withhold applause, but was trying to ensure that everyone
had an opportunity to comment during long meetings by moving the meeting forward in an
efficient manner. Mr. Donelson apologized for his language.
Keith Olesen spoke to Item No. 26 on the consent calendar, a development with one factor that
would impact surrounding neighborhoods for a long time. Residents of these 160 dwelling units
City Council Minutes of June 14, 2016
Page 14 of 27
would generate 1,200 vehicular trips per day and the plan was to channel them onto Cypress, a
small neighborhood street and then onto the intersection of Cypress and Anaheim Boulevard, a
block from the Lincoln Boulevard intersection. Neighbors believed the most logical traffic
ingress/egress was to block Lemon off at Cypress and channel traffic in and out of that block on
Lemon to the Lincoln Avenue traffic light. He asked that this item be pulled from the consent
calendar for further discussion on the negative traffic impacts this project would have on the
surrounding community.
Elsa Garcia, speaking to Item No. 27, stated she was opposed to parking permits for her small
cul-de-sac of six homes, adding there should be another way to address the impacts of the
nearby convalescent home on Ball Road rather than to require permits for parking on her street.
Mayor Pro Tern Kring requested the Acting City Attorney explain the permit parking process for
neighborhoods with Ms. Pelletier responding a request was made, a vote taken by the
neighborhood and in this instance, she indicated that all but one of the residents were in favor of
permit parking, which resulted in this resolution before Council for approval.
Cynthia Ward, resident, spoke out against restricting applause during public comments,
remarking if time constraints were an issue, Council could use other avenues to move the
process along by eliminating Council's ability to respond during this portion of the meeting.
Mayor Pro Tern Kring did not agree, remarking that it was not very often that members of the
Council used "point of personal privilege" during meetings.
AJ Blackwood requested an action item be placed on the agenda revising the public comment
guidelines emphasizing he had heard slanderous, derogatory and hate speech uttered and he
did not think it should be allowed to happen regardless of the right to free speech and that the
public should not stand in silence when it occurred. Mayor Pro Tern Kring requested the city
attorney speak to the first amendment right. Kristin Pelletier responded that all speech, whether
it was slanderous or inflammatory, was protected because everyone had a right to speak in a
public setting, and if the speech actually disrupted the meeting that was where the line could be
crossed, but that did not apply to hecklers' vetoes or the audience reaction, it had to be the
speaker who disrupted the meeting.
Arturo Ferreras, resident, emphasized there was a limit to freedom of speech and if the speaker
violated the dignity and rights of others, it should cease. Regarding STRs, he emphasized that
the social fabric of neighborhoods should be protected and valued above and beyond the
business of making money in a residential area. He urged a ban on STRs.
An unidentified speaker wanted a ban on STRs, remarking her family was tired of living next to
them and just wanted the peace, quiet and respect of her community back. She had lived in a
townhome complex for 16 years and felt financially unable to leave, while the impacts of STRs
worsened every day.

THE CITY OF ANAHEIM vacating seven portions of excess right of way along Lincoln
Avenue and Anaheim Boulevard in accordance with Condition of Approval for Tentative
Parcel Map No. 2012-148 generally located at 200 North Lemon Street pursuant to

(Abandonment No. ABA2015-00319-2).
Approve a Quitclaim Deed with Uptown Anaheim Apartments, LLC, authorize the City
Clerk to record the Resolution, and deliver the Quitclaim Deed to escrow for recordation
in the Orange County Recorder's Office.
Dan DeBassio, Acting Public Works Director, remarked that on October 19th the Planning
Commission adopted a resolution amending the tentative parcel map for a proposed
City Council Minutes of June 14,2016
Page 19 of 27
development of a four-story mixed use project of 220 apartment units with 18,000 square feet of
retail space.
Last December, he stated, City Council approved the PUT Option, Purchase Agreement and
Joint Escrow Instructions between the city and EQR Anaheim Limited Partnership. At that time,
he pointed out, the affected land was under the jurisdiction of the city as Successor Agency to
the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency; however the city had now acquired title to that land and
wished to exercise its PUT option and convey the seven remnant parcels to the developer per
the agreement. Per the requirement of the Streets and Highway Code for summary vacation of
land, he indicated staff determined the seven remnant parcels to be vacated were excess right-
of-way means and the value based on review of an accredited valuation report for a purchase
price of$24,994 was considered by staff to be fair and reasonable estimate of fair market value
for the land and was agreeable to the applicant.
Council Member Brandman remarked there had been much concern in the Colony community
as to exactly what had been unanimously approved by the Planning Commission asking if
tonight's action changed the approved plans in any way. Council Member Brandman also
disclosed that had this project come before the City Council during the time the Planning
Commission considered it, he would not have participated in the discussion because the
environmental documentation had been conducted by his family's former business; however,
that time restriction had now elapsed and he was making sure that his neighbor's questions
were fully answered.
Jonathan Borrego, Planning Services Manager, responded that the project as it was currently
designed could actually function with or without the acquisition of that scalloped property and
when the project was originally approved by the Planning Commission in 2014, the assumption
was that the developer would be able to acquire that piece of land along Lincoln Avenue that
would give them a linear street frontage on Lincoln. He pointed out once the Redevelopment
Agency assets got hung up with the state, it was clear that the developer might not be able to
acquire the property and came back to process a project revision that pushed the building back
slightly to increase the setback which would then accommodate the project if they were not able
to acquire the scalloped land. At that time, they processed a revision to the parcel map to
reconfigure the front lot lines and that project revision was approved by the Planning
Commission in 2015, a year later, which meant the project as currently designed could be
constructed with or without that scalloped remnant parcels. He added if this item was approved,
the land would be acquired by the developer and the plan would go back to the original project
design with a straight property line in the front and the developer would need a lot line
adjustment to straighten out the lot line because the parcel map showed the scalloped area. He
emphasized it did not materially affect the project either way. Council Member Brandman asked
if it was the intention of the developer to go back to the original plan with Mr. Borrego
responding in the affirmative stating it was the reason the developer was asking for this action.
Mayor Pro Tem Kring commented that residents did not want access off of Cypress asking if the
project would then use the Lincoln access. Mr. Borrego stated the access would be on Cypress
as described earlier and that the issue of access had been thoroughly debated through the
various public hearings and many community meetings at various stages to discuss that issue
and the amount of commercial space that was being provided in the mixed use component.
Ultimately, he stated, the Planning Commission approved access on Cypress. He noted there
was a condition of approval of the development that required installation of a traffic diverter to
prevent northbound traffic on Lemon Street which was one of the primary concerns of the
community at that time and that condition still remained; a diverter must be installed on Lemon
City Council Minutes of June 14,2016
Page 20 of 27
Street before the project could be developed unless an alternate design was approved by the
city engineer. Because Council had received a number of inquiries about the ingress/egress of
this project, stating it would place too much of a burden on small streets, Mayor Pro Tern Kring
would request the city engineer reevaluate the plan, talk to members of the Colony and see if a
better option could be implemented. Mr. Borrego remarked staff was open to speaking to the
developer, but ultimately it was their plan, and it had been approved and this would be a
fundamental change to the project design and open it up for CEQA review once again as it
would change the traffic patterns for the project. Mayor Pro Tern Kring indicated she did not
want to delay the project. Council Member Murray inquired if the Planning Commission had
discussed the traffic impacts when their initial approval had been given with the response given
they had discussed the matter at great length.

RESOLUTION NO. 2016-088 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ANAHEIM confirming the Diagram and Assessment and providing for the
Levy of the Annual Assessment in and for the Anaheim Resort Maintenance District.
Dan Oregel, Public Works Department, reported in July 1999, Council approved the formation of
the Anaheim Resort Maintenance District based upon a vote to do so by the property owners in
the area known as the Anaheim Resort. These property owners voted to levy an assessment on
themselves to ensure the long-term quality of maintenance, repair and replacement of Resort
area public improvements specifically to maintain a unique and outstanding destination area.
On May 17, 2016, Council initiated the FY 2016/17 annual levy proceeding by accepting the
assessment engineer's report and scheduling this public hearing. The assessment engineer's
City Council Minutes of June 14,2016
Page 21 of 27
report indicated the levy would generate about $4.4 million which would go into the Resort
Maintenance District fund specifically for the operation and maintenance of the district. Mr.
Oregel stated the Resort District Advisory Board had reviewed and approved the levy and
proposed budget and with Council's approval of this item, the ARMD assessment would be
confirmed and the levy would be implemented.
Mayor Pro Tern Kring opened the public hearing for comments.
William Fitzgerald objected to the levy stating that taxpayer funds secretly went into the
Anaheim Resort Maintenance Fund to pay for maintenance and repairs and that there was an
imbalance between the Resort area and the surrounding residential communities that lacked
maintenance upkeep.
Bob Donelson supported this levy, stating it made sense that the property owners in the Resort
area paid for the maintenance and upkeep to attract visitors and tourists rather than using
taxpayer funds.
Mayor Pro Tern Kring remarked that six years ago, the hoteliers in Anaheim and those on the
border of Garden Grove, self-assessed their profits by two percent, which meant the visitors to
the Resort were paying for the maintenance and upkeep of the area. She added it was a
successful endeavor; it paid for the Anaheim Plaza at the Convention Center and also helped
financially support some of the transportation programs in the Resort.
With no other comments offered, the public hearing was closed.
Council Member Vanderbilt remarked that there were several pages in the assessment report
that identified a number of small parcels that had a levy of$1 or$2 related to time share
properties and he was curious whether those were the appropriate assessments for those time
shares. Mr. Oregel responded that following the last meeting when questions were raised, staff
followed up with the consultant that prepared the engineer's reports and it was confirmed those
assessments were for individual time shares on an individual week basis and that they were fair
assessments for those units. Council Member Vanderbilt added that one of the speakers
mentioned that the Anaheim taxpayers paid for the replacement of broken sidewalks, and while
the fund mentioned maintenance it discussed mainly cleaning the sidewalks. He asked if
replacement sidewalks were funded from the General Fund. Mr. Oregel responded that for the
record, there was $200,000 of general fund monies contributed to the Anaheim Resort
Maintenance District reflective of the amount of funds that would be expended on a general
level of service to maintain an area of that size, therefore, indirectly there was some general
fund taxpayer monies involved, but the majority of the $4.4 million was self-assessed monies
collected from the businesses and did not include the repair and replacement of sidewalks.
MOTION: Council Member Brandman moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2016-088, of the
City of Anaheim confirming the Diagram and Assessment and providing for the Levy of the
Annual Assessment in and for the Anaheim Resort Maintenance District, seconded by Council
Member Murray.

ORDINANCE NO. 6373 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM approving that certain Development Agreement
No. 2015-00002 by and between the City of Anaheim and Jefferson at Stadium Park,
L.P. and authorizing the Mayor to execute said agreement for and on behalf of the City
(DEV2015-00078).
Introduced, as amended.
David Belmer, Planning Director, indicated this public hearing was for the proposed Jefferson
Stadium Park, a project that was considered by the Planning Commission at a public hearing on
May 16 and unanimously recommended for approval to the City Council. The approximately
17.5-acre project site was located at the southwest corner of State College Boulevard and Gene
Autry Way across from Angel Stadium and within the Platinum Triangle. The developer of this
site was seeking to develop Jefferson Stadium Park, a mixed-use consisting of residential,
retail, and open space uses. In 2007, he stated, a project known as "The Experience at Gene
Autry Way" was approved on this property; however, it was never constructed and in 2015,
Jefferson at Stadium Park LP purchased the property and was now proposing a new project and
development agreement for the property.
The proposed development consisted of 1,079 for-rent residential units, 9,800 square feet of
commercial uses, a public park, and local street system that would serve the proposed
community. It was proposed to be constructed in three phases, with Phase I beginning at the
western portion of the property, Phase II in the middle portion, and Phase III on the State
College/Gene Autry Way corner.
PHASE I: Director Belmer reported the first phase would provide for a 370-unit, five-story wrap-
style apartment meaning the residential units would be wrapped around the parking structure
and would not be seen. Many amenities would be offered with each phase of the project with
Phase I including a clubhouse, pool and amenity deck. The first phase would have an
articulated architecture making a statement at the corner that set the project off, with varying
roof heights, differentiating building wall depths and various architectural enhancements. A 1.1
acre public park would be completed in the first phase as well, to be placed south of the Phase
II building, adjacent to Artisan Court. Amenities included a dog park, an open grass field, shade
structures and tables, bocce ball courts, a half basketball court and outdoor exercise equipment.
As part of the development agreement, the developer was required to construct and dedicate
the parkland to the city and to maintain it thereafter. He pointed out that the size of the park
City Council Minutes of June 14,2016
Page 24 of 27
was derived from the Platinum Triangle requirement that for every unit developed,
approximately 44 square feet of open space was required.
PHASE II: Mr. Belmer indicated this phase would include a mixed-use, five-story wrap building
in the middle of the site with 376 units, including 12 live/work units that would be located along
the Gene Autry property frontage. This phase would also feature a roof top amenity deck for the
residents and other private recreation amenities, including a fitness center, game room, pool,
BBQ and fire pit lounge area, and a clubhouse. He noted the architectural style of this phase
was intended to represent an urban city center, with varying contemporary design features.
PHASE III; Phase III consisted of a mixed-use, six-story podium building with 333 units and
9,800 square feet of retail space that would take advantage of the high visibility at the corner of
State College and Gene Autry Way. Mr. Belmer pointed out the developer initiated a proposed
minor modification to the amount of retail space in Phase III that he would discuss later on in the
presentation. The building was also highly articulated in its architecture and included a unique
corner element to provide an entry statement and access to the retail plaza and the entire
development. This building, he explained, was designed with a sports influenced theme, given
its proximity to Angel Stadium. The building included a clubhouse for residents with a glass wall
that overlooked the Stadium and as with the other phases, various private recreation amenities
for use and enjoyment of its residents would be provided.
Mr. Belmer indicated a General Plan Amendment and an amendment to the Platinum Triangle
Master Land Use Plan was required due to the shift and location of the park and the road that
provided access to the development and that these amendments were consistent with long-term
goals for the Platinum Triangle. In addition, approval of this project required approval of a
development agreement that would offer assurances the applicant needed to develop the
project over time and would also ensure that the public benefits were constructed. Mr. Belmer
indicated final Site Plans for each of the phases of development had been reviewed and
approved by the Planning Director for compliance with the Platinum Triangle development
standards and were attached to the development agreement. In addition, the applicant was
requesting a tentative parcel map to subdivide the property and establish the public streets.
Regarding CEQA, he stated in 2010, the City Council certified the Subsequent Environmental
Impact Report No. 339 to allow continued development within the Platinum Triangle and as part
of this project; staff prepared an Addendum to this EIR which concluded that the previously
analyzed environmental impacts were addressed with this project, as it was less intense than
the previous one. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan had been created as well to
mitigate the impacts of the proposed project and included all applicable mitigation measures
from this EIR.
Lastly, he stated, staff, as well as the Planning Commission, believed the Jefferson Stadium
Park project was well-designed and well-planned and would continue the long term vision of the
Platinum Triangle and therefore recommended approval of the requested actions to the city
council. The minor modification proposed by the applicant was to increase the amount of retail
space in this project from 1900 square feet to about just under 15,000, and by adding about
4,800 square feet, the retail would wrap around the corner and in staff's viewpoint, create a
retail plaza at that key intersection.
Mayor Pro Tern Kring inquired if there was adequate parking with the increase in retail space
with Mr. Belmer responding that as part of that modification to add the retail space, the
City Council Minutes of June 14,2016
Page 25 of 27
developer also made a slight modification to its parking structure that supported the Phase Ill
building to add slightly more parking to accommodate the additional retail.
Mayor Pro Tem Kring then opened the public hearing for comments, setting guidelines for the
speakers. She also disclosed that she had spoken to the applicant's representatives with
Council Member Brandman indicating that he had also met with the applicant and received
subsequent communications from them. Council Member Murray indicated that her staff had
met with the applicant and was briefed on the project and Council Member Vanderbilt indicated
he had also met at the applicant's request.
Heidi Mather, represent JPI, the developer of the Jefferson Park Project, thanked staff for
working collaboratively for the last ten months to bring the project forward. She provided a brief
slide presentation to highlight the breadth of JPI's experience, remarking the western division
had been in California since 1996 and developed over 5,800 units in northern and southern
California, and additional units in Arizona. She added that JPI had a project under construction
in the Platinum Triangle, a 400 unit development scheduled to open later this year that
represented a $120 million investment in the city. With the Jefferson Stadium Park project, she
pointed out the three phases totaled about $370 million, a project that would make a significant
investment in Anaheim. She pointed out the approximate location of the property and its close
proximity to the stadium and to other residential uses planned in the Platinum Triangle, the
Lennar site and that of LP Global that is coming to the city later in the year. She noted between
Phases I and II, as part of the Phase I development, was the continuation of Union Street so
that the north/south public street would connect to Union Street that would be built by Lennar at
the northern end. In addition, the public park must be installed and operational as part of Phase
I and the development agreement was required before the final certificate of occupancy. And in
Phase II, JPI would be constructing a private street between Phases I and II, a public access
street that connected from Gene Autry down to Artisan, as well as improvements along Artisan.
She indicated Phase II was a slightly modified version shown to Planning Staff as mentioned in
the staff presentation; 4,800 square feet of retail space along the corner would be added,
wrapping the retail along the corner for a strong retail element at State College and Gene Autry
Way and wrapping down the southern end. Ms. Mather presented a slide showing the vehicular
access points for the live/work units, the retail space as well as the public park, noting that one
of the Planning Commissioners had a question about the ability of people to drive to the park
and that this slide showed 26 public parking spaces not reserved for residents. Regarding the
live/work spaces, the concept was to rent the space with the unit with a one year lease
commitment offering an opportunity to launch a business and then to move onto a larger space
as the business grew. She added Lennar had about 40,000 square feet of retail planned for
their community to the north and LP Global had a larger commercial component; adding that JPI
anticipated commercial on this site would complement the surrounding uses, with a restaurant,
coffee shop, and neighborhood-serving commercial uses.
For the public park, there would be two off-leash dog parks, a small area on one side for smaller
dogs and a larger area for the bigger dogs which would be a complement to the park that
Lennar was going to build and other pocket parks within the Triangle that did not have off-leash
provisions and a ten minute walk for nearby residents. Regarding architecture, Ms. Mather
stated the designer used complementary architecture in all three phases but wanted to make it
clear that each building was a separate development with its own architectural elements.
William Fitzgerald objected to the project, remarking it would construct 1,000 cracker box
apartments with limited parking that would look like a slum in ten years.
City Council Minutes of June 14,2016

Bob Donelson encouraged the city to put a restriction on the CC&R's to ensure these units
could not be used as short term rentals, a policy that had been used for the last three
developments coming to the city.
With no other comments offered, Mayor Pro Tem Kring closed the public hearing.
Mayor Pro Tern Kring asked the applicant if they would be amenable to putting a restriction on
short term rentals in the HOA and CC&R's with Ms. Mather responding, they were apartment
communities and would be professionally managed, but there would be no objecting to placing
that type of restriction on the units.
Council Member Vanderbilt stated there was a leasing office and he anticipated the
development would have a minimum leasing requirement with Ms. Mather concurring.

4,800 commercial square footage, thereby revising the CEQA resolution, the Development
Agreement and the Final Site Plan by approving the following resolutions and ordinance,
