CIVIC CENTER PROTECT: Mayor Dutton acknowledged Glenn Johnson, Chairman, JoAnn
'Barnett, Vice Chairman, and other members of the Civic Center Joint Task Force
and thanked them for their efforts to date.
The MaYor also introduced Dan Rowland and Randy Bosch of Rowland and
Rose, architects for the Civic Center Project.
Mr. Bosch explained that Rowland and Rose has worked closely with the
Joint Task Force for the last several months in determining a design for the
Civic Center Complex keeping in mind: 1.) The need to maintain existing fac-
ilities of the City in operation throughout phase construction of the new Civic
Center; 2.) Utilization of existing properties within the determined study
area, vhich is the area bounded by Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim Boulevard, Broad~ay
and philadelphia Street, comnonly referred to as the "Super Block" for clarity
purposes; and 3.) Determination of the effects of a new Civic Center on the
City in terms of acting as a' catalyst for future City growth. Mr. Bosch pre-
sented, and explained the folloving slides relatin~ to a civic ceutervhich
best serve the City's need:
1. Circulation.
2. Parking.
3. Site use maximization.
Site use minimization.
5. Site use options A. through G.
6. Council-City Hall interface.
7. Public-City Hall interface.
8. Mass in scale.
9. Schematic site plan A. through D.
Mr. Bosch reported that the Joint Task Force favored Schematic Site-
Uae'Option A.as the best plan for the Civic Center, ~ith orientation being given
to both Lincoln Avenue and Anaheim Boulevard, creating an Open Space, such as
a plaza, on both streets. He explained that Phase I constructionwould be dir-
ectly behind the former Bank of America building; that Phase II construction
included an eight-story to,er oriented to Lincoln Avenue with the Council
Ch~nbers attached and expressed to it; that a tiered parking structure holding
600 cars per level, ~hich could be added to or deleted from would be constructed.
in the middle of the Civic Center block; and that primary access to the center
~ould be from Claudina Street off of Broadvay. He further explained that in
order to obtain the feeling of the Civic center, it ~ould be necessary to close
a small portion of Claudtna Street, thereby creating a mall effect between the
existing City Hall and the former Bank of America buildin~.
Mr. Bosch noted that this plan left the required amount of open space
needed to off-set the buildings, provide maximum functuality of the Civic Center,
and allo~ the most feasible arrangement for development of the three primary
corners of the "Super Block". Mr. Bosch then directed the Council's attention.
to a model of the proposed Civic Center.
Mayor Dutton thanked Mr. Bosch for his fine presentation.

City ~all, i-mhe/~, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Sevtember 4. 1973. 10:00 A.M.
The Council then left the Council Table and examined the model of
Site-Use Option A.
Mayor Dutton pointed out that the Task Force was unanimous in its
choice of Site-Use Option A ud~ich would require the removal of the Bank of
A~erica annex, subject to administrative analysis.
City Hanager Keith ~hrdoch explained that by eliminating the Bank of
America annex, Park and Recreation~ould not be moved into this facility until
the complex was co~leted. Hr. ltirdoch advised that there is no current need
to relocate them since some of the space pressure had been eliminated by moving
the Park Division into the former Senior Citizens building on Chartres Street
and leaving the Recreation Division in the church building on Anaheim Boulevard
and Wilhelmina Street. He explained this does make Park and Recreation a split
function, however, they could operate in this situation for a period of two to
three years.
Hr. ~rdoch advised that the plan proposed would allo~ the continued
occupancy of the former Southern California Gas Company building located south
of the alley on the east side of Claudina Street. He advised that Customer
Service would move into the former Bank of America building and'the space
presently occupied by them could be used for other administrative activities.
Hr. Fairdoch stated it would have been helpful if the Bank of America
annex could be used, however, in the light of the small square footage gained
(7,000-square feet), it was felt that the confi~uration of the City Hall complex
should not be modified, nor should the ultimate development plans for the complex
be negated.
Hr. ~hrdoch further explained that the primary advantage of Site-Use
Option Ay as the considerable open space created on Lincoln Avenue and Anaheim
Boulevard, ~hich would act as a catalyst or incentive for the redevelopment of
the downtown area. He advised that ~he more traditional rectangular confi~ura-
tions were less expensive, however, this angular configuration was best for
redevelopment efforts, either conii~uration would serve administrative purposes.
Councilman Thom requested Hr. Bosch to more fully explain the sequence
in phasing with the proposed Plan A.
Hr. Bosch, speaking from the model located in the center of the Council
Chamber, indicated on the model that Phase I includes construction of a two-story
buildin~ located in the middle of the complex containing 32,000-square feet and
is planned to house Development Services Department and Public Works Department;
that Phase II includes an eight-story tower oriented towards Lincoln Avenue to
~hich the Council Chamber would be attached and expressed; that Phase LI also
includes the parking structure which will be constructed in the center of the
"Super Block" and that the remaining areas of the complex would be constructed
when economically feasible or required by staffing. Hr. Bosch clarified the
fact that although the parking structure is scheduled to be constructed during
Phase Il, it can be accomplished at any point in time.
Councilman Sneegas noted that the Bank of America property was pur-
chased at the approximate cost of the land only, and felt, therefore, it was
economically advantageous to be able to center the project now as it relates
to the ultimate plan rather than attempt to save the Bank of America annex at
the cost of a lesser plan.
City Hanager l~rdoch pointed out that use of the former Bank of America
primary building located on the north Side of the alley adjacent to Claudina
Street would be utilized until the completion of Phase II.
Councilman Thom asked for an explanation of the Klopping decision.
Assistant City Attorney Alan Watts explained that the ICloppin~ decision
was a decision rendered in the late 1960's in the case of lloppin~ versus the
City of I~ittier. Briefly, he stated, the City was acquiring properties for re-
development in the downtown areas, and the City Council took certain actions,
nmaely initiation of cond_._-~mtion proceedings, which essentially placed a cloud
on various private properties in the redevelopment project. A couple of pro-
perry owners sued the City, claiming they lost tenants and rents as a result of
73-!11 ~
~it?~la!l. A~batm. California - COUI~ILKiKO~ES - Sentember 4.1973,I 10:00 A. 14.~
Council action. The Court ruled the owners could recOver essentially on
reverse condemnation if damage to the property as a result of CoUncil action
could be proven.
Mr. Watts surmised from the presentation made today that perhaps the
City would be acquiring property and cautioned the Council to at leastbe co~-
nizant of the effects of the Klopping Decision.
Councilman Thom stated that prior to any "definitive" action on the
Civic Center Complex, he would insist upon economic information about the
land in question and legal implications on decisions which the Council may make.
Mayor Dutton advised that because of the [loppins Decision, the Joint
Task Force has been extremely cautious in their recommendations.
Councilman Stephenson asked if the Civic Center Project would be a
part of Project Alpha, to which Hr. Watts replied at the present time it is
not a part, however, as an alternative, it could conceivably work into the
redevelopment plan.
Councilman Stephenson expressed the concern that the City have a
workable plan and the means to accomplish it prior to taking any action. He
related situations in cities where redevelopment projects were dormant for
years before any construction or improvements were made.
Councilman Thom stated it was his feeling that the City should ob-
tain cost figures before making any decision on the Civic Center Complex and
determine if and ho~ any portion of the cost could be interfaced with urban
redevelopment.
Other members of the Council concurred with Councilman Thom. Mayor
DuttOn pointed out that perhaps the course of action to take at this time
would be to pursue Site-Use Option A and obtain the pertinent cost information.
Mr. ~hrdoch advised two items are dependent upon an expression by
the Council of which option to pursue, one being to advise the architect not
to consider the Bank of America annex in their plans. Mr. ~ordoch stated the
architect has already been given an indication not to consider it and if
Council feels contrary to this approach, they should so indicate at this time.
Mr. ~airdoch stated the second item needing direction is the activity
of the architect, who has been givm the responsibility of desisning a building,
and who must be given sufficient direction by the Council in order to proceed.
He suggested that the architect advise what decisions are needed at this time
in order to proceed.
As to cost figures, Mr. Nurdoch explained that it is only possible
to obtain estimates based upon impressions ofvalue, which maychange. He
stated that even after obtaining cost figures, the Council must knov the
means by which the costs are to be met.
Dan Rowland, architect, advised he needs at this time concurrence
from the Council that location of Phase I is a proper location so that they
can move ahead in an orderly fashion with the design of the building.
Rovland explained that Phase I does eliminate the former Bank of America annex.
Councilman Stephenson asked if Phase I was set far enough back from
Lincoln Avenue and Anaheim Boulevard so as not to require demolition of any
existin~ buildings along the street frontages, to which Hr. Rowland answered
affirmatively, notin8 construction vould stay should of the alley behind the
bank of America building.
Mr. l~rdoch pointed out that Phase I does, hovever, project acqui-
sition of the Willdan Ensineerins Company property vhtch includes a ?,000-
square foot building, and is located on the west side of Claudine Street,
i~mediately south of the parking lot, which must be acquired regardless of
the confi~uration selected for the Civic Center. He advised they have been
negotiating with Willdan and they are willins to Jointly employ a mutually
acceptable appraiser to determine the value of the property for purchase at
the apprtased figure. Mr. Fairdoch explained that Willdan has been vorkin~ on
73-712
City mall, ~etm. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Seotember 4. 1973. 10:00 A. IL
plans for remodeling and expansion, however, if the City must ultimately acquire
the property, they would prefer to sell now.
Councilman Sneegas voiced the opinion that appraisal of the Willdan
property~ould be the first logical step to pursue since acquisition of that
property is vital to any configuration of a civic center in this area.
Hr. l~lrdoch stated along with authorizing negotiations for acquisition
of the Willdan property and advising the architect to proceed with design of
Phase l, the closing of a portion of Claudine Street should also be considered.
Hr. Rowland explained that only existing City o~ned properties would be
affected by the closure of a portion of Claudine Street and that there is no satis-
factory development of the property that does not include this closure.
Regarding the acquisition of the Willdan property, Councilman Thom
asked if any dotter a=ounts were discussed with the owners.
Hr. Nurdoch answered that only an approach to obtain figures has been
discussed and that since an improved building and land were involved, without
an appraisal, no accurate market value could be determined.
Assistant City Attorney Watts cautioned the Council that if they author-
ize the contract with Willdan Engineering to mutually employ an appraiser to deter-
mine the market value of the property, they must be prepared to make the actual
purchase.
Hayor Dutton asked the City Hanager if monies were available for the
purchase of the Willdan property.
Hr. F~rdoch replied there are many variables in the availability of
funds; that the answer depends on Council's intent whether to proceed with a
portion of construction or complete construction in which case a bond issue may
be necessary; or to proceed under phase construction in which case Revenue Sharing
Funds could be used. Another variable to be considered is the fact that the com-
mercial activities proposed in the Civic Center ~ould logically fall within Pro-
Ject Alpha and under this redevelopment concept would be eligible for Project
Alpha funds. He advised he could have some answer by this afternoon's meeting,
however, without knowing the market value of the property, his answer would be
based upon an estimate only.
Mayor Dutton expressed the opinion that in order to build most economi-
cally, the Civic Center should be completely built at once, and use a combination
of Revenue Sharing Funds and a bond issue to finance the construction.
Councilman Stephenson felt that citizens recognize the need and neces-
sity which exists today for a Civic Center, and that construction should be com-
pleted with a bond issue approach to financing, without use of Revenue Sharing
Funds.
Councilman Thom concurred with the Mayor's suggestion of the combina-
tion of the Revenue Sharing Funds and a bond issue, however, preferred phase
construction in order to "pay as you
Councilman Sneegas preferred to proceed without incurring additional
bonded indebtedness, and felt use of the Revenue Sharing Funds and phase con-
struction was better.
Assuming that Council wants to purchase the property, Hr. ltzrdoch asked
if the approach of employing a mutually acceptable appraiser, with the City and
Wtlldan Engineering cousnitted to accepting the determined value, ~as the appropri-
ate manner in which to proceed. By unanimous consent, the Council agreed.
Hr. ltirdoch advised that he was Just informed that the Assessor's market
valuation of the Willdan property is $75,080.00.
Councilman Pebley questioned the $75,080 fignre, surmising that the
buildin~ is 7,000-square feet and rents for 30 cents a square foot per month,
or $2,100 a month or $24,000 a year. He advised that land is normally wot'th
eight times its yearly income, or in this case approximately $193,000.00.

The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolution No. PC73-1§9, denied
said variance. Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed
by Sterling I. Bogart, President of Nora's Restaurants, and public hearing sch-
eduled this date.

of the project under Variance No. 2527 would be trivial in nature and that no
environmental impact report or statement is required. Councilman Sneegas
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Roberts noted the location of subject property and in explaining
the requested waivers advised that because of the proximity of subject property
to residential zoned property, the sign height is limited by Code to 25 feet
(50 feet, 10 inches proposed). He further reported that the proposed location
of the sign would actually encroach into the ultimate right-of-way of Lincoln
Avenue and if the variance is approved, it would be necessary for the property
owner to obtain an approved encroachment permit for the sign to encroach with-
in the right-of-way of Lincoln Avenue.
In summary, Mr. Roberts read the findings of the City Planning Com-
mission on which their denial of said variance was based.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council.
Mr. Sterling X. Bogart, President of Norm's Restaurants, Inc., 5827
Hoyt Avenue, Los Angeles, submitted a drawing of the proposed sign together
with a list and location of their 16 restaurants. He stated Since the City
Planning Commission meeting and in an attempt to cooperate and comply as nearly
as possible to the Code, they found they could reduce the height of the sign
to 42 feet and eliminate the flashing or blinking and would so stipulate.
In way of background information, Mr. Bogart'reported they had been
in business 25 years operating in 11 cities; they are a 24 hour, 365 day op-
eratiQn and the Anaheim facility will be their first venture in Orange County
and represent an investment in excess of $600,000. He stated the sign is their
logo and the only identification they have as each restaurant differS in archi-
tectural design and that this trademark, or lOgo, is produced in all the printed
media.
He thereupon showed pictures of other installations again calling
attention t° the fact that the restaurants are not a prototype structure.
Mr. Bogart reported that Mr. Behnke, the realtor handling the sale
of the property, contacted 25 people within 400 feet of the proposed restau-
rant site and no objections were received. In addition, no one spoke against
the sign as originally requested at the City Planning Commission hearing.
Mr. Victor Newlove, architect, representing the firm of Arnet, Davis
and Newlove and Associates, 5767 Wtlshtre Boulevard, Los Angeles, advised that
in designing the restaurant building, they were required to take into consider-
ation the sign and design the angles of the building to incorporate the sign.
He stated that' this was a very important part of the architectural design and
if the sign is lowered to a height less than 42 feet, it will not be readable.
(Rendering of the proposed restaurant was shown and Mr. Bogart ad-
vised that the sign was not intended 'to be freeway oriented.).
Mr. Newlove reported the sign was oriented to the entrance of the
restaurant and placed near the corner for good composition andbeing in the
street setback they realized and agreed that when the street is widened, they
will remove the sign.
Mr. Bert Arnold, owner of property at 1224 West Center Street, dir-
ectly to the ~ear of subject property, addressed the Council in opposition,
feeling the height of the sign would tend to make a midway of the street and
be a devaluating factor to surrounding properties.
Mr. A. J. Schutte (former Anaheim Mayor and City Councilman),
addressed the Council in favor of said variance, calling attention to the need
of such a facility in the area.
Mr. Schutte noted other signs in the immediate vicinity of a similar
height and felt these signs had not been a detrimental factor to the Area. Mr.
Schutte advised experience has shown once a project such as this is developed,
the value of the surrounding properties is increased.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council; there
being no response, declared the hearing closed.

noted subject lot was at the end of a cul-de-sac street and questioned why it
was omitted from the subdivision and also questioned whether or not there might
be a sealed or capped well or pipe remaining beneath the property from when
Standard Oil o~ned the lot.
Mr. DiFilippo did not know why the lot was omitted from the surround-
in~ subdivision but reported that he has a letter from Standard Oil Company,
the loaner ovner of the property, to the effect that the water ~ell has been
back filled and meets safety requirements.
Mr. Lambert was of the opinion that the hous~movin$ permit was not
for a family to move into the neighborhood but to bring an older dwelling into
a nicer neighborhood for resale.
Brenda Curtis, 1812 Boisseranc, addressed the Council in opposition
advising of the value of their home and also those in the adjacent subdivision
tract to the'east. She advised that the purchase of a home is a primary
v~stment for a family and requested the values in this case be considered.
Mr. DiFiltpp°, in ~ebuttal, stated that the purpose of moving the
house onto the lot was due to the fact that the lot on~hich it presently ex-
ists has been sold for commercial purposes. He stated that they would conform
to the neighborhood to the best of their ability.
The Mayor determined sufficient evidence had been given and thereupon
declared said public hearing closed.'

TAXI CAB P~...21IT - IMPERIAL CAB COMPANY: Request of Robert Reymundo to operate Imperial
C~b COmPany service in the City of Anaheim was submitted.
Mr. Reymundo addressed the Council advising that they presently service
the Cities of Cypress, La Palma and Hawaiian Gardens and request permission to
operate five cabs within the City of Anaheimwhich cabs will be purchased as soon
as the permit is granted.
City Hall~ Anaheim,. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 4! 1973! 1:30 P.M.
He stated that in his opinion with the growth of Anaheim, there is
a definate need for another cab service as many calls requesting their service
are received from Anaheim. Further when there is only one cab company or any
other type of service, they tend to relax the standard of service.
Mr. Reymundo advised that they would like to operate the cab from
Beach Boulevard westerly and that they had no interest in the area around
Disneyland or the Convention Center.
Mr. Donald Kirk, 535 South Helena Street, addressed the Council ad-
vising of his difficulty in obtaining cab service in Anaheim and stated, in
his opinion, the present service is "lousy". He stated he was both for and
against the application.
Mr. Arthur Grey, Attorney representing the Yellow Cab Company, pre-
sent operator within the City of Anaheim, reported that he has read over the
application and found no evidence of the ability to perform either financially
or with adequate equipment and secondly there is no showing of need and nec-
essity.
Mr. Grey stated that the application notes that when they are granted
the permit they will purchase five cars which almost indicates that perhaps the
permit is a method to obtain the five additional cars. In addition, he called
attention to evidence of inadequate insurance and that nothing in the applica-
tion gave details as to the equipment, radios, the transmission methods, how
and where the cabs will be dispatched from.
As to a limited permit to operate only within a certain area, Mr.
Grey was of the opinion that it Would be extremely difficult, from a policing
point of view, to administer such a permit.
As to need and necessity, Mr. Grey reported that Yellow Cab Company
presently has over 80 permits for the City of Anaheim and keeps 15% to 20% of
their cars in reserve at all times to carry the peak situations.
In addition, attention was called to the new bus service added to the
public transportation throughout the City which,if anything,would augur against
bringing in additional operators.
Mr. Seymour, on behalf of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, reported
that they,being the entity that receives all types of complaints, do not have
nor have they ever had one letter of complaint against the Yellow Cab Company.
He stated that although the Chamber of Commerce believes in private enterprise,
in the transportation area if further integration is permitted, the citizenry
of Anaheim could suffer.
Mr. Reymundo questioned Yellow Cab's service to Anaheim and reported
the 75 or 80 cabs serve the 13 different cities inwhich they. have permits to oper-
ate. H~ further added that they were not out to hurt the Yellow Cab Company
and doubted if five additional cabs would.
Councilman Thom stated that although he favored private enterprise
he recognized public transportation requires proof of need and necessity and
that if there was a need and necessity it would have been evidenced by com-
plaints on the Yellow Cab Company. In addition he also recognized that the
operation of the Orange County Transit District in Anaheim has undoubtedly
affected the operation of cabs in the area and would further illustrate a
lessening need for more service.
At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman Thom reluctantly moved
that the request of the Imperial Cab Company be denied on the basis that need
and necessity have not been provided by the Applicant. Counci'lman Pebley
seconded the motion. NOTION CARRIED.
EN NT_PERMITN_O. 73-3~: Application filed by Richard E. Bartecher on behalf

TENTATIVE. TRACT NO. 7567 - DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS: Request of Grant Company of
California for exemption for Tract No. 7567 from City's present Drainage Policy
was submitted together with report of the City Engineer recommending as follows:
"That Grant ComPanY of California be permitted to iu~nediately install
interim desilting facilities downstream from Tract No. 7567 to be approved by
the City Engineer and upon completion of these interim facilities and the post-
in~ of a bond by Grant Company, et al, for the ultimate drainage facilities to
the point of disposal,the condition of the bond being that if the construction
of the drainage facilities is not commenced by August 15, 1974, the bonding
company will be obligated on the bond to pay the City of Anaheim the face amount
of said bond. Subsequent to the posting of such a bond, the City of Anaheim
will grant a grading permit and permit Tract No. 7567 to be recorded.
It is further recommended that Grant Company, et al, assume full
liability pursuant to an agreement to be approved by the City Attorney for the
maintenance and stability of the interim desiltin$ facilities holding the City
of-'Anaheim harmless to all parties for damages'that could occur due to the
installation or construction of such facilities."
Mr. Maddox advised that the above revised recommendations in his
opinion would accomplish the City's purpose because of the non-availability
of pipe, he could see no way the storm drain Cbuld be install~d in the in~ued-
iate future. The above recommendations, he felt, would solve the problem for
the forthcoming rainy season.
Dr. John W. Barnes, 5040 East Crescent Drive, advised of some appre-
hension statin~ they felt Condition No. 45 was a protection for the City and
homeowners in the area and still allowed orderly development of the hills. He
noted the Proposed interim facilities were not intended to eliminate erosion
or floodin~ problems that currently exist.
73-72~
City _Hall~ Al~aheim! California - COUNCIL MIl/lITES - September 4~ 1973!
Dr. Barnes stated that their main concern is that the permanent under-
ground facilities be installed as soon as possible and no later than October,
1974, and requested a completion date of October 15, 1974, be included in the
Engineer's recommendation.
Mr. Naddox questioned the possibility o£ guaranteeing a completion
date.
Mr. Watts advised that if both dates are included there is created two
conditions to be met instead of one and it ~ould be much easier and faster to
enforce if there was only the starting date rather than wait for the expiration
of the october date before collecting the bond money so that installation can
be made by the City.
Dr. Barnes felt there would be no objections to the insertion of a
completion date for the purpose of showini good faith.
Mr. Murdoch suggested the.wording be in effect "if they have not started
construction on a contract containir~ a completion date for the construction of
the storm drain by August 15, 1974, the money would be paid the City so that the
City can perform".
Dr. Barnes stated their concern was that the facilities be completed
before the rainy season.
In answer to Council questioning, Hr. Murdoch explained the method
of arriving at a bond amount figure and advised that the preliminary estimate
of the project was $240,000.
With the revision that the developer require a completion date on or
before October 15, 1974 in the contract or in any event comphte the construction
by that date, Councilman Sneegas moved the recommendations of the City Engineer
be approved. Councilman Stephenson seconded the motion. NOTION ~IED,
Hr. Donald Fredrickson, representing Grant Company of California~
stated their objectives was to obtain a grading permit to record the tract and
to construct the improvements within the tract and in conjunction they would con-
struct the interim facilities and post the required bond.

with the requirement of a completion date were again reviewed and agreed to by
Hr. Fredrickson.

not now be used for the remodeling of the former Bank of America buildin~ and
in addition listed the following City owned properties that are felt to be
surplus and could be sold:
1. Former fire station site at La Palma Avenue and Part Street.
2. Improved lot at the southeast corner of Cerritos Avenue and
Nut~ood Street.
3. Fomer fire station site consisting of two improved lots with
residences at Eucltd and Westmont Streets.
4. Small parcel adjacent to the new North Substation on Pauline

5. Improved residential lot on the south side of Tyler Street be-
tween Western and Grand Avenues.
6. Triangular parcel east of Beach Boulevard, south of Lincoln
Avenue, adjacent to the flood control cha~nel.
7. Surplus property acquired with the purchase from gtchandy for
street right-of-way at Western and Orange Avenues.
8. Well site on the west side of Western Avenue, north of Lincoln

9. Church property on Anaheim Boulevard, presently used by the Park
and Recreation Department (reconvnended t~t this parcel be held
in abeyance for additional study to determine if the activity
could be moved to the Civic Center location).
10. Well site at Damon and Pythias Avenues.
11. Parking lot at the northwest corner of Lemon Street and Broadway.
Mr. Murdoch felt with those three sources of revenue, the cost of
the Willdan p~operty could adequately be covered.
Of the properties reported, it was considered that the parking lot
at Lemon Street and Broadway (11) might be held,together with other properties
in the downtown area,for possible sale to the Redevelopment Agency. Mr. Murdoch
advised however, that it appears that the Redevelopment Agency will not have
fUnds until the following fiscal year. He further felt that even if th~ park-
ing lot (11) and the church property (9) were not sold, that with the contin-
gency fund and the unused amount in the remodeling fund, sufficient funds
should be available for the purchase of the Willdan property.
At the conclusion of the discussion, on motion by Councilman Sneegas,
seconded by Councilman Dutton, the staff was instructed to negotiate an agree-
ment with Wtlldan Associates to select a mutually acceptable appraiser to
appraise the Willdan property for possible purchase by the City at value estab-

was accomplished by Resolution No. 71R-189 which then required a variance to
the minimum site area requirements on Lot 11 (the southernmost parcel) prior
to C-1 zoning. Since that time all lots have been sold by Nz. Key and the
owner of the three most northern lots would like to proceed with the zoning.
RESOLUTION NO. 73R-389: At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilm&n Pebley
o~fered l~solution No. 73R-389 amending Res°lution No. 68R-219 to provide that
an ordinance reclassifying the parcels be adopted as each parcel complies with
conditions.
