The motion carried with a vote of 4 ayes and 1 abstention, that being Council Member Hernandez. 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 PAGE 7 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. ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES April 29, 2003 PAGE 8 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. ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES April 29, 2003 PAGE 9 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. ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES April 29, 2003 PAGE 10 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). 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. ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES April 29, 2003 PAGE 11 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 Call vote: Ayes - 5; Mayor Pringle, Council Members McCracken, Tait, Hernandez, Chavez. Noes - O. Motion carried. RESOLUTION NO. 2003R-73 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2003-04661. Report on Closed Session Actions: City Attorney White said there were no actions to report from Closed Session. ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES April 29, 2003 PAGE 12 Council Communications: Council Member McCracken announced that within 2 years, the Prado Dam would be raised to provide protection against a 100 year flood and that there would be a recreation area behind the dam. Council Member Chavez commended staff on the excellent crowd control provided at 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 miles. He noted they would continue to oppose the project. 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. Adjournment: There being no further business to come before the City Council, Mayor Pringle adjourned the meeting at 7:15 P.M.
