142 A30. Discussion concerning the proposed amendments to the Anaheim Campaign
Reform Law (Chapter 1.09 of Title 1 of the Anaheim Municipal Code).
City Attorney, Jack White, presented the staff report. He noted that he had provided an
amended copy of the proposed ordinance to Council, in which the proposed
amendments had been noted in red and blue.
Mayor Pringle explained that he had worked with Shirley Grindle, a well-known activist
on campaign reform law, to address issues he experienced in the last election. He
added that he wished to see the opportunity of providing for office holder expenses,
which the current city regulations did not permit. This would insure that if a Council
Member wanted to do something in the course of holding their office, they would have
ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
April 29, 2003

an office holder account that could pay for it, not just the account of the taxpayer's
public dollars.
He noted the changes Mr. White referred to in blue were changes to the document that
was in the Council's packet and were very technical changes and changes that had to
deal with how to dispense with the office holder account dollars at the end of a term in
office. Mayor Pringle reviewed various sections of the proposed campaign reform
ordinance.
Shirley Grindle presented a memo where she outlined three issues. One was the office
holder account, which she did not support. She asked if the accounts were established
that a mechanism be set up for accepting funds for office holder expenses; that
contributions do not exceed the contribution limits; that it is tractable and that Council
does not misuse the funds for other purposes.
Two areas where she expressed concern were intra-candidate transfers and the filing of
a post-election campaign statement. She noted the courts had said that the transfer
must be allowed and it must be done subject to the contribution limits. She explained a
recent situation where a transfer took place at the state level. On the post-election
statement, she noted that there was too much time from the last pre-election statement
and the January 31 st of the next year statement. She wished to see candidates that run
in the November election be required to file a statement no later than 15 days following
the election.
Council Member McCracken asked if an elected official had funds in their campaign
account, do they need an office holder account.
Mr. White responded that an office holder could use any campaign contribution to pay
office holder expenses.
She asked what would happen if the office holder had no surplus funds and no debt,
would they borrow money to establish an account.
Mr. White said that while elected officials could currently collect contributions and use
for office holder expenses that would cut into the use of the funds for any other use.
The proposed ordinance would allow the officials to segregate those office holder
expenses and contributions to be used for those expenses from contributions that would
be used for a subsequent election and not count towards the $1,000 contribution limit
for the next election. He clarified that the office holder contributions would count
towards the $1 ,000 limit for the prior election cycle.
Council Member Tait noted he favored strict disclosure and he supported the post-
election campaign report.
Council Member Chavez noted that as a new candidate, the paper work was
cumbersome for someone with no experience. He agreed that disclosure was very
important.

Council Member McCracken said she had no concerns with either recommendation
submitted by Ms. Grindle.
Council Member Hernandez said he was uncomfortable with an office holder account
and expressed concern with what the residents would think. He said he had no problem
with the post-election report.
Mayor Pringle told the City Attorney that he felt there was general consensus to add the
two additional amendments recommended by Ms. Grindle to the proposed ordinance
and that introduction of the item should return to the next agenda.
5:30 P.M. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
B1.
RESOLUTION NO. 2003R-72 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM designating Winston Road between Iris Street and Palm Street as a
"Permit Parking Only" street (Permit Parking Area No. 15).
149
Alfred Yalda of the Public Works Department presented the staff report.
Mayor Pringle opened the public hearing.
Joan Koenigsberg said she represented a group of neighbors that could not attend. She
expressed the resident's desire to have permit parking, citing that they could not put out
garbage cans and there was extra trash and exhaust, dirt and smoke.
Mayor Pringle asked if permit parking was issued on Winston Road, would the residents on the
adjoining streets be affected.
Mr. Yalda said only residents with property fronting on Winston would be allowed to get parking
permits. He said staff had contacted residents on Petal and Margate and received no response.
Ms. Connensburg thought people would be deterred from parking on the side streets.
Mayor Pringle said he thought it encouraged people to park on the side streets and he
expressed his concern.
Dave Hall said he agreed with Mayor Pringle that cars would now park on the side streets since
they could no longer park on Winston.
Gene Kasaka said the reason he and his neighbors presented the petition was to improve the
quality of their daily lives on their street. He said the volume of parking on the streets had
increased greatly over the last years. He explained that people left trash on the lawns and they
would feel safer with permit parking.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor Pringle closed the public hearing.

Mayor Pringle, addressing the City Engineer, said he was concerned about shifting the problem
from one street to another. He noted that the extra parking seemed to be coming from the
apartments on Gulinda Lane.
Gary Johnson said he discussed that same concern and staff felt that could be a potential issue.
He explained that they corresponded with residents on both of the streets to see if they had an
interest in being included in the permit parking area. He said they were not interested, response
rate being about 20%. He said if the permit parking for Winston was approved and it did
become a problem, the other streets could circulate a petition and the area could be expanded.
He added that because staff had a valid petition, according to policy, it was brought forward.
Upon a question from Mayor Pringle, Mr. Yalda explained how the permit system worked.
Council Member Chavez asked how visitors would park and Mr. Yalda explained the two types
of permits. Mr. Chavez felt the issue of parking was part of the lack of housing issue and he
expressed concern that people that were parking there now would just park somewhere else.
Council Member Hernandez asked if the overcrowded parking was coming from a nightclub
located in the area.
Mr. Yalda said he did not think so; the impact was mostly from the Gulinda Lane apartments.
Council Member Tait wondered if the resolution was passed and the problem moved to area
side streets, was there a way to revoke the action.
City Attorney White answered that it could be undone; it would require another public hearing.
City Engineer Johnson said staff was discussing this with the Police Department because they
had 10 requests pending and it was now a citywide issue, seeing it more and more as they look
around the city. He said staff was examining other solutions besides permit parking and
considering asking Council for a moratorium on the permit parking until staff could sort it out and
do it on a more systematic and broader basis.
Mayor Pringle asked if there was no parking on Gulinda Lane and Mr. Yalda responded that
there were about 5 units purchased by the school district, they were demolished and the curbs
were painted red because of concern with certain activities. Two of the apartments west of Iris,
he explained, belonged to the Redevelopment Agency and the rest were apartments with a lot
of the overflow parking, parking on Winston.
Mayor Pringle noted that the residents followed the policy that was in place and it was difficult
not to follow through with the policy in place. He suggested the policy be revisited and he was
interested in addressing the thought of creating a moratorium so this did not happen on a
sporadic basis and look at more of a global focus on what was happening in impacted
neighborhoods where there was parking challenges.
Council Member Tait offered Resolution No. 2003R-72 for adoption, seconded by Council
Member Hernandez. Roll call vote: Ayes - 5; Mayor Pringle, Council Members McCracken,
Tait, Hernandez, Chavez. Noes - O. Motion carried.

B2. WAIVER OF CODE REQUIREMENT
179 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2003-04661
AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION
OWNER: Song Hi Park, 3480 Torrance Boulevard, Suite 100 Torrance, CA 90503
AGENT: Dwyer Beesley, P.O. Box 17783, Anaheim, CA 92817
LOCATION: 115 North Gilbert Street. Property is approximately 0.21-acre having a
frontage of 78 feet on the west side of Gilbert Street, located 240 feet north of the
centerline of Lincoln Avenue.
To permit a 9-unit "affordable" senior citizen's apartment complex with a density bonus
with waivers of (a) minimum landscape setback abutting an arterial highway, and (b)
minimum structural setback.
ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION:
Waiver of Code Requirement approved (6 yes votes, Commission Romero absent).
Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-04661 granted (PC2003-44).
Negative Declaration approved.
(Planning Commission's decision appealed by the property manager of an adjacent
commercial center)
Joel Fick presented the staff report.
Mayor Pringle opened the public hearing.
Dwyer Beesley, Agent for the project, explained that the 9 unit senior project proposed was a
mirror project to one he built 14 years ago immediately to the north of the subject property. He
said the project would have 9, 1 bedroom units and of the 9 units, 5 would be affordable. He
said he had tenants that had lived there 10 or 12 years. He said he had 8 parking spaces for
the 9 units in his existing project and not once in 14 years did he experience a parking problem.
Currently 5 out of the 9 units had cars, he noted and public transportation and shopping was
close. He added that he had owned apartments in the city for 27 years and had never had a
code enforcement violation.
David Israelsky, who managed the shopping center adjacent to the property, said he felt it was a
poor use of the property, he said it ruined the whole connection of the shopping center. He
said his other concern was with the parking, 1 space per unit, would be insufficient.
Mr. Beesley reported that he and Mr. Israelsky had met with staff to work out any problems and
at the meeting he had asked Mr. Israelsky if there were any other problems, to which Mr.
Israelsky answered no. He noted that now Mr. Israelsky was saying it he did not think it was the
best use of the property. He said he always wanted to have the parcel so he could make his
project come together, like a U shape. He felt the shopping center had been a larger violator of
parking, citing that Tuesday and Thursday nights, people attending Weigh Watchers parked
onto his lot. He added that he had a parking study done and it indicated that the shopping
center was underserved by 20 parking spaces. He offered to Mr. Israelsky if he brought his
shopping center to meet the current parking requirements, he would place the restriction of one
car per senior unit.

Mayor Pringle asked how long Mr. Beesley had owned the property and Mr. Beesley answered
that it was in escrow now. Mayor Pringle asked how long the property had been vacant and Mr.
Beesley said there had been a single-family home on the property; it had been vacant for 10
years.
Mayor Pringle asked Mr. Fick the zoning and Mr. Fick noted it was CL, limited commercial;
general retail, office uses, light commercial and the senior project was permitted by conditional
use permit.
Council Member Hernandez noted that the Planning Commission had granted a density bonus
and Mr. Fick answered that the net effect was probably the addition of two additional units.
Council Member Hernandez questioned the statement that the parking requirements on the
shopping center were under served and Mr. Fick said staff had just heard that information and
had not had time to research it.
Council Member Tait asked if the additional senior complex to the north also had one to one
parking requirements. Mr. Fick said it was a little less than that; there were 8 parking spaces
there rather than 9. He said the code changed 6 or 7 years ago to make it a one to one ratio.
Council Member Tait asked if staff had any indications of a parking problem on the site and Mr.
Fick responded there had never been one call or complaint about that project being
underserved and no code violations.
Council Member McCracken asked if the wall was going to be removed so that the parking area
would be 17 spaces. Mr. Fick answered yes; the applicant was going to that as part of the plan
so the entrance to the project would be more attractive and inviting.
Council Member Chavez asked if the density bonus made the project feasible and Mr. Fick said
that it did, it authorized the project to exercise the same types of standards that existed to the
project to the north and also, in exchange for that, as the applicant mentioned, there would be 5
units of the 9 units that would be affordable, 3 would be very, very low income units, and 2
would be very low income units.
Mayor Pringle noted that although there were concerns, he felt it was a compatible use of the
property and mirroring with the neighboring property allowed for an attractive compliment to the
area.
Council Member Tait moved to approve the CEQA FINDING: NEGATIVE DECLARATION and
offered Resolution No. 2003R-73 for adoption, seconded by Council Member McCracken. Roll

the Pond and Stadium and that he was working with the residents of Hermosa Village
regarding the parking situation and a possible alternative parking site under the power
lines. He indicated that he would participate in a press conference the next day
regarding the year-old unsolved death of a child due to abuse. He asked staff to review
police protocols for responding to child abuse calls.
Council Member Hernandez stated that he and Council Member Tait attended the
Orange County Transportation Authority hearing on the Centerline Project and that they
were concerned over the expenditure of 1 ~ billion dollars for a rail line extending 11

Council Member Tait requested to have placed on the next agenda; discussion of
criminal penalties for violation of a Conditional Use Permit, noting that he felt civil
penalties could be used.
