ment Plan for Redevelopment Project Alpha and the subsequent Environmental

Acting Chairman Moss called the Redevelopment Commission to order.
Before proceeding, Councilman'Roth stated that prior to taking office as a ...�
Councilman in April, 1976, he disclosed that he owned property at 1000 East
Lincoln Avenue, which is located within the boundaries of Project Alpha, in
partnership for approximately 10 years. Due to this fact and upon advice of
legal counsel, Councilman Roth abstained from discussion and voting on all
matters to be considered at the joint meeting.
Councilman Roth left the auditorium (7:45 P.M.)
PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR
REDEVELOPMENT P ROJECT ALPHA AND SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 189:
A joint public hearing by the City Council, the Redevelopment Agency and the
Community Redevelopment Commission to consider the proposed Second Amendment
to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Alpha and subsequent
Environmental Impact Report No. 189.
Mayor Thom declared this the time and place for public hearing regarding the
proposed Second Amendment to Redevelopment Project Alpha as specified in the
notice of public hearing published and mailed pursuant to the California Re-
development law, noting the record contains the following documents:
1. Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Alpha as adopted July 19, 1973,
and amended July 20, 1976.
2. Proposed Second Amendment as changed to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelop-
ment Project Alpha. ---R!
3. Report to City Council on the Second Amendment, as changed, to the Redevelop -'
plan including in separate documents: A) The report and recommendation of
the Planning Commission. B) The summary of activities and information pre-
sented to the Project Area Committee. C) The subsequent environmental impact
report for the proposed amendment.
4. The report and recommendation of the Project Area Committee.
Mayor Thom announced that a written Agenda would govern the course of the
meeting and that all persons who wished to speak would be afforded the oppor-
tunity to do so,having been duly sworn in by the City Clerk; white forms were
distributed to all persons who wished to indicate their approval, opposition,
or to take no position on the proposed amendment and subsequent environmental'
impact report, upon which it was requested that they also indicate whether
or not they wished to speak at the hearing.

Fremont Junior High School, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES
November 23, 1976, 7:30 P.M.
All staff members and consultants who would participate in the presentation
and /or discussion of the proposed amendment to the Redevelopment Plan were
duly sworn in by the City Clerk.
Mr. Norman Priest, Executive Director, stated that while he was fairly new
with the Agency and the City, he had reviewed the record of Project Alpha
carefully and in his experience had found very few such projects so well
scrutinized and so thoroughly brought to the public. As a result the pro-
posed Second Amendment was the best thinking of staff, as well as input of
those people who attended the long series of public meetings.
Mr. Knowlton Fernald, Community Development Director, emphasized for the
people in the audience that the proposed amendment did not make all of
the decisions that needed to be made over the next several years,but it set
long range goals relative to general land use and circulation patterns. He
indicated it was the framework for the Redevelopment Project as it would be
implemented during the years to come.
Mr. Fernald emphasized that to get to this point, citizens of the City and
particularly of the Project area were involved in the process in every way
possible which process included private developers, property owners, residents
and businessmen.
He explained that subsequent to the submittal of a concept plan in December, 1975;
the subject plan.was modified particularly in view of the City Council's state-
ments to redirect the process and goals of the Agency in response to input from
citizens.
Mr. Fernald elaborated on the public forums that followed and the resultant
consensus plan presented by the Project Area Committee (PAC) which plan was
documented at the direction of the Redevelopment Commission in order to bring
it through a series of public hearings. That same consensus plan was also
prepared as an amendment to the City's General Plan and subsequently approved
by the City Council on November 16, 1976.
Mr. Fernald stated that the proposed Redevelopment Plan Amendment being con-
sidered this evening was reviewed and recommended by the Project Area Committee
as well as the City Planning Commission. The proposed plan also included modi-
fication in the text of the plan to bring it up to date in that later hearings
would be necessary to finalize both public and private projects and to deal
with matters such as precise road alignments.
Relative to.the subsequent EIR, Mr. Fernald stated that it examined the environ-
mental impact of the Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan Alpha and that the draft
subsequent Environmental Impact Report dated September, 1976, was prepared in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act and circulated to more
than 26 persons, organizations and public agencies for review. He indicated
that subsequent comments received were outlined in Chapter 15, 16 and 17 of the
subsequent EIR.
Mr. Fernald then briefed the City Council, Redevelopment Agency, Redevelopment
Commission and the audience of the summary portion of the subsequent Environ-
mental Impact Report as well as all of the proposed amendments to the Redevelop-
ment Plan for Project Alpha, Amendments 1 through 14, contained in part II,
"Report to the City Council on the Second Amendment as changed to the Redevelop-
ment Plan for Redevelopment Project Alpha" dated October 6, 1976. For reference,
he also showed slides of the location of the Redevelopment Project illustrating
the two non- contiguous areas involved but stated the primary concern at this
meeting was the downtown area surrounded by Harbor.Boulevard, Broadway, Cypress
and East Streets.
In conclusion, Mr. Fernald emphasized that in light of having spent a great
deal of time and effort on the development of the proposed plan with extensive.
citizen participation in its design, they were ready to move on the implementation
phase upon favorable consideration.

November 2`3, 1976, 7:30 P.M.
Al
The Mayor called for oral comments, statements and questions on the subsequent
Environmental Impact Report for the Amendment.
Prior to each individual giving testimony, they were duly sworn in by the City
Clerk.
William S. Woods, 1400 Dana Place, Fullerton, Chairman of the Project.Area
Committee (PAC), explained that his group consisted of 16 volunteer citizens
established as a committee by the Redevelopment law to serve as an intermediary
between residents, tenants and business people in the Project area. He indicateu
that PAC had diligently studied the many ramifications of Redevelopment in
Anaheim and considered each of its facets individually at the meeting in which
they voted on the proposed amendments, 11 members were present and in each
instance the vote was 11 to nothing in favor of the amendments.
The Mayor then called for written communications received in favor of adoption
of the proposed Second Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment
Project Alpha:
I. Mr. John Flocken, President, Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, 130 South Lemon
Street - letter dated November 23, 1976.
2. Mr. Larry King, 218 South Florette Street, I representing the Ana - Modjeska
Players.
Although Mr. King did not wish to speak, he noted in his comments that the
Second Amendment on anti -bias made no reference to either the handicapped or
the aged, both of which were on the bias exclusion lists of other such projects.
The Mayor then called for those in favor of the proposed Second Amendment to
the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Alpha who wished
to address the.joint meeting and the following individuals gave all comments
in favor of the proposed amendment: Mr. David S. Collins, 952 Flore Street,
Anaheim; Lt. Col E. F. Rhoads (RET.), 122 North Vine Street, Anaheim.
Both Mr. Collins and Mr. Rhoades were emphatic in stating that it was time
to move forward on the project with zest, zeal and great dispatch.
Mayor Thom called for written communications received in opposition to the
adoption of the proposed Second Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelop-
ment Project Alpha: Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Edwards, 1107 W. West Avenue No. F,
Fullerton, representing the Church of His Holy Presence - Grace Chapel (South
Gate, California); Mr. Adolph Philip Miller, 1859 Random Drive, Anaheim. .
Mayor Thom called for all statements and questions by persons opposed to the
adoption of the proposed Second Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for Rede-
velopment Project Alpha and the following addressed the Council: Mr. Edwin
Peterson, 526 West. Chestnut Street, Apt. A, a tenant and resident in the area
representing Redwood Realty; Mr. George H. Lange, with a business address at
106 North Claudina Street, Anaheim, representing property owners in the Pro-
ject Alpha area of Anaheim; Dr. John Mullender, 1730 Roanoke, Placentia,
Associate Superintendent of the Placentia Unified School District; Mr. John
J. Murphy, Rutan and Rucker, 401 Civic Center Drive West, Santa Ana, repre-
senting the Placentia Unified School District.
Dr. Mullender stated that he was instructed by the Board of Education of the
Placentia Unified School District to present a statement and ask Mr. John
Murphy, legal counsel, also representing the District,to read the statement.
Mr. Murphy indicated that the Board of Education of the Placentia Unified
School District wished to emphasize that it did not take issue with Anaheim's
efforts to rehabilitate the downtown area, but the only issue and position it
requested be conveyed was the manner proposed to finance rehabilitation.
Mr. Murphy read the prepared statement, (on file in the City Clerk's Office)
the substance of which was the fact that approximately 80% of the tax increment
funds going to Project Alpha thus had come from the northeast industrial
section which lies almost entirely within the Placentia Unified School District,
thereby resulting in a tax increase for the property owners of PUSD. The
School District was interested in finding solutions to what they considered to
be a dilemma.

November 23, 1976. 7:30 P.M.
In closing, Mr. Murphy stated for the record,opposition to the further -
implementation of Project Alpha so long as it included the northeast industrial
section of Anaheim and urged deferral of the Second Amendment until either an agree-
ment between the Agency and the District was reached or until the Second Amend—
ment was revised to exclude from Alpha the territory within the Placentia
Unified School District.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to speak.
Mr. Thomas Catterson, 856 North West Street, Anaheim, stated he was concerned
that the Redevelopment Plan would be successful in bringing about more smog
and pollution than now existed. He noted that a great deal of effort was made
to inform the people of the Redevelopment Plan and he was surprised that such
an effort was not made simpler by putting the matter on the ballot so the
electorate could vote on it.
There being no further written or oral comments received in favor, opposition
or taking no position on the Second Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for
Redevelopment Project Alpha and subsequent Environmental Impact Report No. 189,
the Mayor declared the public hearing closed.
Acting Chairman Moss declared the public hearing before the Community Redevelop—
ment Commission closed.
The Mayor asked if any Agency Members wished to ask questions or needed further
information or clarification of the final subsequent EIR; there was no response.
ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY RESOLUTION NO. ARA76 -38: Councilman Seymour offered
Resolution.No. ARA76 -38 for adoption, certifying the subsequent EIR relative to
the Second Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Alpha.

The Chairman declared Resolution No. ARA76 -38 duly passed and adopted.
The Mayor asked if any Members of the Council or Redevelopment Commission
desired to ask questions or needed further information or clarification of
the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan or subsequent EIR or
related documents.
Mr. Priest suggested that it would be appropriate to respond to certain
questions raised and that he and Mr. Fernald would speak to them from an
operational standpoint,and Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Hopkins from a legal stand-
point.
Relative to the question of including the provision for the aged and handi-
capped, Mr. Jacobs indicated that this was not required by law but he had seen
these categories included in other recent projects.
Mr. Priest referred to the matter of the church on Broadway which he presumed
was the one to which the people representing the Church of His Holy Presence
was speaking. He explained that discussion had been held with the Pastor and
members of the Church indicating the Agency's willingness to work with them
76 -63
Offi

November 23 1976 7:30 P.M.
on the assumption that the Church was structurally sound. Mr. Priest
was of the opinion that it would be possible to coordinate the matter with
the overall development.
Mr. Jacobs indicated that if the Church could not remain, it would be properly
paid for and possibly relocated so there would be no financial sacrifice as �a
alluded to in the comment received. He added that if it were found to be
structurally sound and remained in the area, there would be added value with
the surrounding neighborhood having been rehabilitated.
Mr. Priest spoke to the concern of both Mr. Collins and Rhoads that the Agency
should move forward as rapidly as possible. He explained that initial negotia-
tions were proceeding and that relative to Lincoln Avenue, its precise align-
ment would be going before the Planning Commission in the not too distant future.
Mr. Jacobs emphasized that the proposed changes did not require Lincoln to
be moved north or south, but that precise alignment would be worked out with
individual property owners and developers who might come in.
Mr. Priest indicated that relative to the comment by Mr. Lange on the use of a
parcel of property suggested to be changed from.commercial to residential, thereby
bringing about inverse condemnation, the proposed plan specifically provided
that compatible commercial uses along Lincoln may remain in those locations
where it would be physically possible to do so. He asked that Mr. Fernald
give the background which led to the designation of the area as residential.
Mr. Fernald explained that in the concept plan, the area in question - -the
vicinity of Harbor Boulevard, Lemon Street and Anaheim Boulevard - -was considered
to be the one for intensive commercial development considering its location.
In the final analysis, however, the block of residents involved expressed a
strong desire to have the areas remain residential which resulted in finding
that determination.
Mr. Jacobs referred to the comment made by Mr. Lange concerning inverse con-
demnation and stated that if the Agency purchased the subject property, it
would be purchased as commercial property and not residential thereby necessitating
purchase at commercial prices. If the owners decided to keep the property and
subsequently decided to build on it, they would have to build residential.
Stewart Moss wanted it made clear that what was taking place at the meeting was
not a rezoning action. Mr. Jacobs explained, however, that adoption of the
Redevelopment Plan would require rezoning to take place at an appropiiate time.
Mr. Priest then asked Mr. Jacobs to speak to Dr. Mullender's concern dealing with
the financing of the project which essentially involved the interpretation of the
Redevelopment law.
Mr. Jacobs explained that subsequent to the meetings between members of the
School District, Redevelopment Agency, Council Members, Agency staff and his
staff, it was his understanding that a list of facilities was to be prepared by
the School District and submitted to the'Agency. He indicated there was apparent-
ly some confusion as he was awaiting such a list before proceeding.
Both Dr. Mullender and Mr. Jacobs agreed that there was a communication gap
relative to the draft agreement to be provided by the City. O."W%
Mr. Jacobs emphasized there was no clash with the Placentia Unified School
District and.while they were not totally opposed to the method of financing
the Redevelopment Project by the use of a tax increment, they wanted to be
certain it was not detrimental to them. He was confident that negotiations
were at a point where a quick solution would be found. '
Mr. Jacobs explained that the Code Section referred to in the statement previ-
ously read by Mr. Murphy did not undercut the basis for adoption of the Project
and, in fact, broadened it. He stressed that the northeast industrial area
was not included for the sole purpose of obtaining an allocation of taxes with-
out substantial justification for inclusion. The area was included for
Code purposes. He further stated that the matter was somewhat irrelevant in
light of the first alternative suggested in the prepared statement, which alter-
native could be worked out expeditiously as soon as the necessary data was
provided by the School District.

Mr. Jacobs then briefly remarked on additional comments that were made: (1)
Negotiations with the shopping center people were for the purpose of ascer-
taining that the cost for such a center would be justified, (2) Under the
Redevelopment process, as opposed to a Federal process, useful life buildings
are kept unless there is a better financial use, (3) Store front rehabilita-
tion such as being proposed in Garden Grove was not applicable in Anaheim,
(4) The project was truly a public /private contemplated situation; public
expenditures were only to the extent that they would bring about public /private
solutions to the problems.
Mayor Thom explained that the very clearly stated goal of the Agency, Council
and Commission was a plan flexible enough to accommodate what the private sector
could and would do relative to Redevelopment in Anaheim and that the function of
their respective bodies was to provide those tools in law in order to be able
to work with the private sector in planning an orderly redevelopment process.
He explained that working in cooperation with the private sector was the only way
such a project would survive economically as long as the plan was also in the
general parameters of community desires.
Relative to the realignment of Lincoln, the Mayor emphasized that it may or may
not be aligned but it would be dependent upon a proposal the Council,
Agency and Commission would be considering. He reiterated that, the plan
provided the flexibility to accommodate a.project the citizenry and the private
sector may want.
Concerning smog and pollution, the Mayor indicated that the environmental
impact report spoke to the matter but further consideration would be part
of future discussion and decision making when the appropriate time arrived.
Mr. Jacobs interjected that if the verbiage relative to the "aged" and "handi-
capped"were to be added,that they be added under Amendment 6, after the.wor:d
"sex" on the bottom of Page 3, as well as Amendment 10 on the fourth line
of the bottom of Page 5 after the word "sex ", and recommended that the_Commission
might want to speak to the change and make a motion recommending same.
On motion by Commissioner Bay, seconded by Commissioner Dinndorf, the
Redevelopment Commission included the words "aged'and'handicapped'to Amendments
6 and 10 of the Second Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment
Project Alpha at the location so designated by legal counsel. Commission Members

Before a vote was taken, Commissioner Bay wanted his views known
relative to the way in which he saw the Second Amendment changing the
Redevelopment Plan. He explained that four changes were involved: (1) It
eliminated the previous tourist oriented, commercial- recreation areas to
preserve the residential areas of the City, (2) It increased the flexibility
of the Plan to what.he called design to development which he considered to
be the best way to plan anything that was going to take 30 years to complete,
(3) Because of the added flexibility, it increased the Agency's power and
put the prime responsibility of the effectiveness of the on.the Rede-
velopment Agency, which is the Council, and on the.CBmmission, (4) It now
defined and increased public owned improvements thereby making it clear
that there would be community improvements included in the Plan.
