Community and Economic Development Deputy Director Grace Stepter reported on October 22, 2019, at the request of Council Member O'Neil, staff brought forth the framework for the proposed Senior Safety Net Program which will assist Anaheim seniors who may be experiencing difficulties in maintaining or obtaining housing, including those residing in mobile home parks. She provided a brief overview of Anaheim's senior demographic, including 11.1% of the population is age 65 or older, and noted 70.2% of senior renter households were experiencing a cost burden. Ms. Stepter advised the program will have three components which include case management, emergency assistance, and tenant-based rental assistance. She reported the case management portion will be administered by the Community Services Department and is available to all seniors. The emergency assistance component will allow for up to three months of assistance for short-term issues. Lastly, she advised the tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA)would be made available for those who need more assistance and would be funded by federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)funds and may be approved for up to six months but may not exceed 12 months. Ms. Stepter detailed the funding for the program, which includes $45,000 from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)funds for case management, $250,000 from Housing Set-Aside Funds for emergency assistance, and $350,000 from HOME funds for TBRA. She presented current income guidelines and noted the priority is for seniors whose income is at or below 30% of Area Median Income (AMI) and paying over 50% of monthly income for rent. She noted, as a pilot program, it would be re-evaluated during the budget preparation process. She also stated the request includes some latitude for the Director of Community and Economic Development to make some minor modifications to policies and procedures, if necessary. DISCUSSION: In response to Mayor Sidhu's inquiry, Deputy Community Services Director Sjany Larson-Cash advised an office would be located at the Downtown Community Center Family Resource Center and staff would be implementing an intake assessment to determine which resources senior residents would need. She also advised staff was actively working on a marketing plan with Chief Communications Officer Michael Lyster and plan to announce the program through the District Community meetings and materials will be made available at community centers, family resource centers, libraries, and senior centers throughout Anaheim. Mayor Sidhu expressed his support for the item to support all seniors and encouraged City Council to support the item to get the program up and running immediately. Council Member O'Neil expressed his support for the item and thanked staff for their work. He was pleased that something was being done for the most vulnerable and least adaptable, to help them bridge gaps. City Council Minutes of February 11, 2020 Page 9 of 22 In response to Council Member Barnes's inquiry, Ms. Stepter advised the priority is based on income levels and those with the highest rent burden. She noted age limits of 55 and older for case management and emergency assistance and 62 and older for the TBRA, based on federal definitions. She further clarified mobile home residents are eligible for assistance and explained an applicant could reapply every five years. Council Member Moreno shared his concern with moving funds from one need to another. He noted his support for authorizing the Community and Economic Development Director to modify the guidelines as needed for the pilot, with documentation. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Ms. Stepter advised three members of the Senior Commission provided meaningful feedback regarding the program, resulting in the change in age eligibility. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Ms. Larson-Cash advised the Senior Commission had not met recently due to lack of quorum and would receive a presentation at their next meeting. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Ms. Stepter advised the $4,000 cap is per household and the case management process evaluates needs for short- or long-term assistance and resources. She also advised the program is tied to the ability to pay versus the rent burden. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Ms. Larson-Cash noted the program would be announced the following day with an anticipated start in March. Further, she advised residents will be provided with a list of required documents to bring to the in-person assessment during the initial phone intake and, if they arrive with the required documentation, may be able to complete the requirements during that time. She advised there are no immigration status requirements to be eligible for the pilot. Council Member Moreno requested the process include conversations with the landlord to notify them their tenant is looking for rental assistance. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Ms. Stepter advised she is unsure how long the pilot funds will last in response to the initial need but estimates it will assist 100 seniors. Council Member Kring expressed her support for the item and also hoped families would step in to support their older family members. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Ms. Stepter advised CDBG money will be coming from the Council on Aging, who returned their money due to receiving grant money. Council Member O'Neil noted the fastest growing demographic in the senior care arena is 85 and over. He also noted the General Fund and other services were not being affected by this program. MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to approve the operating guidelines for the pilot Senior Safety Net Program and authorize the Community and Economic Development Director, or designee, to modify the guidelines as needed, provided that any such modifications do not materially change the purpose or scope of the program; and amend the Community Services Department FY 2019/20 CDBG budget by $45,000 with a commensurate decrease in the Community and Economic Development Department's budget, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Faessel. DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Ms. Stepter advised she cannot determine how many seniors can be assisted at this time but could come back to City Council with analysis. John Woodhead, Community and Economic Development Director, believed they may be able to assist several thousand seniors, but it was unclear how many people would apply for the City Council Minutes of February 11,2020 Page 10 of 22 program. Council Member Moreno expressed support of funding this program through the General Fund should the pilot run out of funding. Mayor Pro Tem Faessel thanked staff for their work on the item and expressed support for the item. MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to approve the operating guidelines for the pilot Senior Safety Net Program and authorize the Community and Economic Development Director, or designee, to modify the guidelines as needed, provided that any such modifications do not materially change the purpose or scope of the program; and amend the Community Services Department FY 2019/20 CDBG budget by $45,000 with a commensurate decrease in the Community and Economic Development Department's budget, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Faessel.

Director of Community and Economic Development John Woodhead advised a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA)was approved by the City Council in July 2019 for the 39 Commons project. He advised, at the time, it was not made clear who would act on the City's authority as the property owner and this item is to make that official designation. DISCUSSION: Mayor Sidhu expressed his support for the item and the importance of the 39 Commons project for revitalization and renewal of west Anaheim. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Woodhead clarified approval was not for design review and final site plan. He advised any items with respect to land use decisions that need to go the Planning Commission will continue to follow the regular process and allow for public participation and input. He advised he will continue to provide updates on the 39 Commons development. Council Member Barnes requested Mayor Sidhu advise her when he is having meetings in her district. Mayor Sidhu advised he will form a task force to represent west Anaheim and residents will be involved. Council Member Barnes expressed her concern regarding the development of a mayoral task force regarding the project. Mayor Sidhu noted he was instrumental in finalizing the 39 Commons project as well as bringing in the homeless shelters through his representation of all City residents. Council Member Kring expressed her support for the item and looked forward to starting construction of 39 Commons. Council Member Moreno requested the City Manager to provide a timeline of the project to ensure accurate information was shared and asked Council to come together around this project. He encouraged Mayor Sidhu to honor Council Member Barnes' request to be included on the task force. City Council Minutes of February 11, 2020 Page 11 of 22 City Manager Chris Zapata reported Council Member Barnes has been working on the project from its inception as well as the Mayor since his election. He was glad the discussion of the project was focused on what was happening rather than what is not happening. Council Member Moreno requested a timeline of the project over the last 5-8 years from staff. Council Member Kring expressed her support of the project, provided information about the needed clean-up actions on the property, and felt it was the best deal for the area. Council Member Barnes referred to the lobbyist webpage where meetings are shown. MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents related to the Subdivision Map Act to facilitate the 39 Commons project located at the northeast corner of Beach Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue, including Lot Line Adjustments, Conforming Deeds, Grant Deeds, Certificates of Compliance, Parcel Maps, Tract Maps, Subdivision Agreements, Maintenance Covenants and all other legal instruments that may be necessary for the development of the parcels for this project, seconded by Council Member Barnes DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tem Faessel noted his involvement in this item when serving on the Planning Commission and expressed his support for the item.

Human Resources Director Linda Andal advised the item is to consider a Resolution adopting a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishing the terms and conditions of employment for classifications represented by the Anaheim Police Association (APA). Since May 2019, meet and confer negotiations had been ongoing and Ms. Andal advised a tentative agreement was reached and subsequently ratified by APA on January 31, 2020. She advised the tentative agreement covers approximately 401 employees in classifications including Police Officer, Police Sergeant, Bailiff, Corrections Facility Supervisor, and Corrections Officer. She provided an overview of the major provisions of the agreement, including the following: a six-year term from June 28, 2019 to June 3, 2025, 14% wage increase over the six-year term including Fiscal Year 19/20 through Fiscal Year 24/25; a 17 1/4% base pay confidential premium for the APA president; and effective next year employee contributions will be reduced beginning in 2020 to 1% employer contribution and 2% employee contribution, subsequent year to 2% employer contribution and 1% employee, and in 2023 total 3% employer contribution; longevity pay of 5% in year five of the MOU (FY23/24)for all sworn employees with 25 years of law enforcement service including 15 years at City Council Minutes of February 11, 2020 Page 12 of 22 Anaheim; in the same year 5% longevity pay to bailiffs, corrections officers, and corrections facility supervisors with 25 consecutive years with Anaheim; an increased annual stipend from $500 to $2,000 for the mounted unit; 2 1/2% specialty assignment pay and a personal leave bank of for up to 25 officer experts who receive drug recognition program certification and a personal leave bank of 13 hours with no cash conversion; bilingual pay conversion from a percentage to a flat rate; and clarifying language on other areas of employment.

DISCUSSION: Council Member Barnes expressed concern regarding the salary increases, addressed resident perception, and felt the City cannot afford the large increase. She suggested the City benchmark adjacent cities to determine if the 14% increase is in alignment with their increases. She advised she would not be supporting the item. Council Member O'Neil agreed the numbers were large but he felt public safety was a high priority for Anaheim and expressed his support for the item. He felt the short-term expense was outweighed by long-term benefits. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Ms. Andal clarified staff negotiates based on input from the City Council. She further clarified a six-year agreement is fairly long and a typical contract is three- to five-years. Council Member Moreno expressed concern with the longevity of the contract compared with economic recession timeframes. City Manager Chris Zapata advised they did not presuppose approval on the item, but amounts close to the agreement have been worked into the budget projection. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry regarding higher pay raises than other labor groups, Ms. Andal advised due to a six-year term, it is higher, but noted the last year reflected only a 1% increase. She also confirmed the APA President pay is underwritten by the contract and provides a 17.5% increase. Ms. Andal reported staff surveyed 11 other cities and Anaheim was the only city with full time release for the president but others donate holiday pay or vacation hours and Santa Ana offers premium pay of an additional 20 hours per pay period. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Zapata advised deficit spending was approximately three years out, but staff would find ways to balance budgets. Council Member Moreno addressed equity with this contract compared to those already negotiated and those still in process. Mr. Zapata also advised the contract keeps the current workforce intact and additional positions would put a strain on the budget. City Council Minutes of February 11,2020 Page 13 of 22 Council Member Kring noted increased hiring cannot take place until laws and public negative actions change. She noted Anaheim does the best it can with the officers it has. She expressed her support for the item and would like to hire more officers in the future when budget allows. Council Member O'Neil expressed support for an increased public safety workforce. He cited the high turnover in Fullerton and noted this contract supports retaining the workforce. He expressed his support for the item. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry regarding benefits, Ms. Andal advised the City provides a Retirement Health Savings Account, which the Police Department currently absorbs, and noted the negotiations will shift those costs to the City over the next three years. She further noted the employees currently contribute 3% of their gross pay and the City will contribute 3% of the base pay. Council Member Moreno expressed concern the contract will put the City closer to deficit spending and stated he could not support the item. Mayor Sidhu noted Anaheim has the best Police Department in Orange County and the contract will help keep the best officers on staff. MOTION: Council Member Brandman moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2020-023 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM adopting Memorandum of Understanding establishing terms and conditions of employment for employees in classifications represented by the Anaheim Police Association (effective June 28, 2019 through July 3, 2025), seconded by Council Member Kring.

Lehman Killed in the Line of Duty 7/23/1872" below the renamed street signs at two intersections: Anaheim Boulevard/Lehman Way and Clementine Street/Lehman Way. Police Chief Jorge Cisneros reported the item is to authorize, by Resolution, the renaming of Oak Street to Lehman Way in honor of Marshal Charles F. Lehman of the Anaheim Police Department. He advised this is the 150th anniversary of the formation of the Anaheim Police Department and noted the Anaheim Police Department was the second oldest department in Southern California, just one year behind the Los Angeles Police Department. As part of the historical celebration, he stated the City will recognize and pay tribute to Marshal Charles F. Lehman (End of Watch July 23, 1872) who was the first Anaheim law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty, at the rear of the Anaheim Brewery. Police Chief Cisneros reported staff is recommending a street renaming, the placement of honorary street signs, and the placement of a memorial plaque at Anaheim West Tower in honor of Marshal Charles F. Lehman. DISCUSSION: Council Member Barnes expressed her support for the item and noted Marshal Lehman is the only law enforcement officer in Anaheim to be killed in the line of duty. City Council Minutes of February 11,2020 Page 14 of 22 MOTION: Council Member Barnes moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2020-024 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM changing the name of Oak Street to Lehman Way, and approve the placement of honorary street signs "Marshal Charles F. Lehman Killed in the Line of Duty 7/23/1872" below the renamed street signs at two intersections: Anaheim Boulevard/Lehman Way and Clementine Street/Lehman Way, seconded by Council Member Brandman. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES —7 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Barnes, Brandman, Moreno, Kring, and O'Neil). Motion carried. C280 19. ORDINANCE NO. 6480 (INTRODUCTION)AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending Chapter 18.32 (Mixed Use (MU) Overlay Zone) of Title 18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to uses in the Mixed Use Overlay Zone and making findings and determinations in connection therewith [allow banquet halls in the Mixed Use (MU) Overlay Zone subject to the approval of a conditional use permit]. ORDINANCE NO. 6481 (INTRODUCTION)AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending the zoning map referred to in Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to zoning (Reclassification No. 2019-00327)(DEV2019-00019) [The Colony House, 401 North Anaheim Boulevard; add the Mixed Use Overlay Zone classification to the property's existing "C-G" General Commercial, "T" Transition, and "RM-4" Multiple-Family Residential zones]. Determine that the above actions are exempt from the requirements to prepare additional environmental documentation per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (Class 1, Existing Facilities) and Section 15060(c)(2) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. Planning and Building Director Ted White advised the item is a request for a Zoning Code Amendment to allow banquet halls in the Mixed Use (MU) Overlay Zone subject to the approval of a conditional use permit in addition to introducing an Ordinance to reclassify the subject property to add the Mixed Use (MU) Overlay Zone to the property's existing "C-G" General Commercial, "T" Transition, and "RM-4" Multiple-Family Residential Zones. Mr. White advised the 1.6-acre property located at 401 North Anaheim Boulevard is developed with a 2-story commercial building, also known as The Colony House, and was originally approved by the Planning Commission in 2014. He advised the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) amendment to permit a covered patio extension subject to the City Council's adoption of the Code Amendment and Zoning Reclassification. Mr. White reported the Zoning Code permits banquet halls with the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the C-G zone subject to the approval of a CUP to determine compatibility with surrounding land uses; however, the project site also includes "T"Transition and "RM-4" Multiple- Family Residential zoning, which do not permit banquet halls. He noted the applicant requests to add the Mixed Use Overlay Zone to implement the Mixed Use High land designation and proposes a Zoning Code Amendment to add "Banquet Hall" as a conditionally permitted use in the Mixed Use Overlay Zone. Staff finds the addition of banquet hall to the MU Overlay Zone is appropriate, as it is a conditionally permitted use in other commercial zones. Mr. White advised since the property is designated for Mixed-Use High land uses in the General Plan, a Reclassification to add the Mixed Use Overlay Zone would implement this land use designation. City Council Minutes of February 11, 2020 Page 15 of 22 Therefore, he noted the request is appropriate and would provide greater consistency with the General Plan than the existing C-G, RM-4, and T zones. DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. White advised a community meeting was held and interested parties also attended the Planning Commission meeting. He reported there were questions and comments raised during both meetings but there were no outright objections. Associate Planner Nick Taylor stated the project would not function as a nightclub and noted no code enforcement issues have been raised since the nightclub was transitioned to a banquet hall. Additionally, he noted the maximum occupancy at the facility has been decreased since the 2014 CUP approval, which will lead to smaller events. He also advised this allows the facility renter to acquire both the banquet hall and the outdoor space as part of the rental. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. White reported amplified sound would be allowed on the patio until 8:00 P.M. and the outdoor space will be made available until 10:00 P.M. MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to introduce ORDINANCE NO. 6480 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending Chapter 18.32 (Mixed Use (MU) Overlay Zone) of Title 18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to uses in the Mixed Use Overlay Zone and making findings and determinations in connection therewith [allow banquet halls in the Mixed Use (MU) Overlay Zone subject to the approval of a conditional use permit]; and to introduce ORDINANCE NO. 6481 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending the zoning map referred to in Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to zoning (Reclassification No. 2019-00327)(DEV2019-00019) [The Colony House, 401 North Anaheim Boulevard; add the Mixed Use Overlay Zone classification to the property's existing "C-G" General Commercial, "T"Transition, and "RM-4" Multiple-Family Residential zones], seconded by Council Member Kring. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES -7 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Barnes, Brandman, Moreno, Kring, and O'Neil); NOES —0. Motion carried; ordinances introduced. At 8:42 P.M., Council Member O'Neil recused himself from Item Nos. 20 and 21 due to a conflict of interest due to his public comments at the Planning Commission meeting and position regarding the project and left the dais. In response to Council Member Moreno's point of clarification, City Attorney Robert Fabela recommended Item Nos. 20 and 21 be heard concurrently, as they are interrelated and overlapping. Presentation and discussion of Item Nos. 20 and 21 were made concurrently by staff and City Council. 20. ORDINANCE NO. 6479 (ADOPTION)AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending the Zoning Map referred to in Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to C280 zoning (Reclassification No. 2017-00309) (DEV2017-00039) [Reclassify the property from the C-G (General Commercial Zone)to the RM-3 (Multiple-Family Residential Zone); 54 attached, two and three story, single-family residential units with modified development standards] (6501-6513 Serrano Avenue; introduced at Council meeting of January 28, 2020, Public Hearing Item No. 14; continued from Council meeting of February 4, 2020, Item No. 13). City Council Minutes of February 11, 2020 Page 16 of 22 Determine that the proposed Reclassification No. 2017-00309 to reclassify the property was adequately analyzed pursuant to the Environmental Impact Report certified in conjunction with the project on January 28, 2020. Planning and Building Director Ted White provided a brief history of the project, The Residences at Nohl Ranch, a 54-unit, single-family attached residential development. He noted Item No. 20 is the second reading of the Rezoning Ordinance to reclassify the property from C-G General Commercial to RM-3 Multiple-Family Residential and act as final approval for the project. Item No. 21 is a request for rehearing submitted by a resident. He explained the proposed project is located on the northeast corner of Serrano Avenue and Nohl Ranch Road and consists of residential units to be constructed in eight, 2- and 3-story buildings, consisting of flats and townhouse style residences. He provided a brief history of public meetings and hearings regarding the project where the Planning Commission denied the project on October 28, 2019, an appeal was submitted by the applicant, City Council opened the Public Hearing and received testimony from over 30 speakers on January 13, 2020 and continued the hearing to January 28, 2020, City Council approved project entitlements and introduced the Rezoning Ordinance on January 28, 2020, and the second hearing of the Rezoning Ordinance was considered and discussed by City Council on February 4, 2020 and continued to February 11, 2020. Mr. White advised the continuance of the second reading, at the request of Council Member Barnes, of the Rezoning Ordinance was to provide City Council additional time to review building permit and code enforcement records and for the applicant to provide any additional information regarding the viability of the commercial center. He advised a review of building permits over the last 10 years showed mostly tenant improvements, sign permits, building improvement permits, and mechanical permits for the replacement of the HVAC unit serving the center. He advised code enforcement related activity was mainly due to unpermitted temporary signs and businesses operating without proper business licenses. He advised the parking lot condition issue was remedied in 2016. He reported there have been three code enforcement cases since 2016 that have been closed. Mr. White advised staff had not received any new information regarding the applicant's study or corroborating statements made by the public disputing the applicant's information by the time the staff report was finalized. However, he reported the applicant has since provided information regarding lease rates, maintenance costs, and overall viability of the center. Mr. White advised a Request for Rehearing was submitted by a resident opposed to the project on February 5, 2020, and is a prerequisite for judicial review or relief relating to a decision made by City Council and must be acted upon within 30 days or the request will be deemed denied. He also noted the granting of the rehearing by City Council would vacate the prior decision of Council and result in a de novo public hearing. Mr. White reported the petitioner cited an unfair hearing and relevant evidence being excluded by the City Council at the hearing. He advised staff reviewed the request and does not believe the grounds for a rehearing have been met by the petitioner, as a fair hearing occurred, there were opportunities before and during the hearing to provide evidence, and no relevant evidence was improperly excluded. He presented four options to City Council to consider including all implications, as follows: 1)Approve the project by denying the request for rehearing and adopting the Rezoning Ordinance; 2) Reconsider the project by approving the request for rehearing and not adopting the Rezoning Ordinance, basically a do-over; 3) Deny the project by denying the request for rehearing, not adopting the Rezoning Ordinance, and directing staff to prepare a General Plan Amendment (GPA)to re- designate the property from Medium-Density Residential to Commercial-Neighborhood Commercial land use; and 4) Uphold GPA and deny the project, by denying the request for rehearing and not City Council Minutes of February 11, 2020 Page 17 of 22 adopting the Rezoning Ordinance, leaving open the possibility for a similar residential project to be proposed in the future. DISCUSSION: Mayor Sidhu thanked staff for their detailed work, thanked the public for expressing their views both in support and opposition, and expressed his continued opposition to the item as the wrong project for the site. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. White advised each option requires two votes from the City Council. Council Member Moreno addressed public input and sentiment regarding proposed projects and expressed his support for a policy which would distribute affordable housing across the districts and be fair across developers. He expressed his opposition to this specific project but noted he is supportive of responsibly developing affordable housing in Anaheim. MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to not adopt the ordinance, to deny the request for rehearing, and direct staff to prepare a General Plan Amendment re-designating the property from Medium-Density Residential to Commercial-Neighborhood Commercial land use. Motion failed for lack of a second. DISCUSSION: Council Member Kring requested the applicant come before City Council to answer questions from the public. City Attorney Robert Fabela advised the public hearing was closed but it was at the discretion of the Chair to allow the applicant to answer any clarifying questions. Mayor Sidhu recommended Council Member Kring read the answers from the applicant to clarifying questions. Council Member Kring reported one potential tenant was denied tenancy at the Serrano Center because it was a cannabis dispensary. She also referenced her experience as a small business owner and noted confidentiality of rental rates was not uncommon. She noted the applicant provided rent rates and provided comparisons between it and the closest commercial center, which is the Anaheim Hills Plaza. She also reported the Serrano Center's staff spends approximately 20 hours per week in maintaining the property. She addressed certain businesses that had already worked to relocate as well as the property owner providing relocation assistance. Lastly, she read a letter from a resident stating they had been heckled due to their support for the project. Council Member Barnes thanked residents for participating in the hearing process and providing their input. She stated the City Council has heard the voice of the residents, especially those of Anaheim Hills whose Council Member recused themselves from the proceedings. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry regarding the 45-day review period for the Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Mr. White noted there were 100 responses to the EIR and the public was given 45 days to review, which is 15-days is longer than required by the state but standard City practice. She noted residents are concerned about traffic issues in the area, even with a professional study showing no additional traffic impacts. She further noted that the number of reported accidents would not be considered significant to the environmental review. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, City Manager Chris Zapata advised he has not discussed Serrano Avenue traffic issues with Council Member O'Neil. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Public Works Director Rudy Emami advised traffic studies were completed as part of the EIR and did not show a negative impact as a result of the project. City Council Minutes of February 11, 2020 Page 18 of 22 In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Emami advised the empty lot across from Nohl Ranch Elementary is owned by the City. He advised the lot can be reviewed through the budget process for potential funding as a drop-off point for the school. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Fire Chief Pat Russell reviewed the evacuation plans for Nohl Ranch Elementary School. He advised on red flag days and in the event of a fire event, busses will be staged at Ronald Reagan Park and Crescent Elementary and would be escorted to Orange High School. Additionally, he noted traffic would be handled manually instead of using stop signs and traffic signals to assist with the flow of traffic. He also advised a practice evacuation is being discussed and planned with Police and Fire Emergency Management and Public Works regarding barricades in the near future. Council Member Barnes recognized the need for community and expressed her opposition to the item. She expressed hope that another location could be found for housing and addressed the possible closure of the commercial center despite the vote outcome. In response to Mayor Pro Tern Faessel's inquiry, Mr. White recapped the voting options for City Council. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. White advised if the City Council vote is tied, the General Plan land use designation of Low-Medium Density Residential would remain in place and the zoning would remain commercial. Mr. Fabela advised Option 3 would need to be approved in order for the property to remain commercial, if that was the intent of Council. Mr. White noted that the General Plan designation and Zoning Code could differ based on Anaheim's status as a Charter City, and the commercial center could continue. Council Member Moreno requested the Economic Development Office work with the property owner to be more viable should it remain commercial. MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to not adopt the ordinance, to deny the request for rehearing, and direct staff to prepare a General Plan Amendment re-designating the property from Medium-Density Residential to Commercial-Neighborhood Commercial land use, seconded by Council Member Barnes. Motion subsequently amended and then withdrawn. DISCUSSION: In response to Mayor Pro Tern Faessel's inquiry, Mr. Fabela explained the approval process for Option 3 and that each component could be voted on separately. Mayor Sidhu expressed his desire to take separate votes on Item Nos. 20 and 21. Mayor Pro Tern Faessel expressed concern the item being voted upon was not agendized. In response to Council Member Moreno's point of clarification, Mr. Fabela advised the items can be approved individually. Council Member Moreno amended his original motion. AMENDED MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to not adopt the ordinance and direct staff to prepare a General Plan Amendment re-designating the property from Medium-Density Residential to Commercial-Neighborhood Commercial land use, seconded by Council Member Barnes. Motion subsequently withdrawn. DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tern Faessel re-stated his concern with including direction to staff as that was not included on the agenda. Council Member Moreno withdrew his previous motion.
