Chairman Pringle called the regular meeting to order at 5:06 P.M. in the Council Chambers of
Anaheim City Hall, 200 South Anaheim Boulevard for a joint public comment session with the
City Council.
ADDITIONS/DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA: None
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Pam Folker, resident, addressed her remarks to Item No. 1, the affordable housing project
proposed for the Greenleaf/Glenoaks area. She expressed concern that the high density
project would exacerbate existing graffiti, vandalism and parking problems already in her
neighborhood. She emphasized that within a quarter mile area, there were over 471 apartment
units and she felt the development would increase spillover parking problems. Mayor Pringle
remarked the Greenleaf/Glenoaks site was property the City purchased from Caltrans with the
idea of making it available for affordable housing and had subsequently asked housing
providers to bid on this site plus two other properties owned by the City. He indicated Jamboree
Housing had been awarded the bid to go forward with development of this property and that a
development agreement was now before the City for consideration. From his perspective, he
felt there had been multiple steps along the way in which the City solicited comments from the
community and at this point, he might not be inclined to change the course of this development
which he felt would be an asset to Anaheim. He recommended the neighboring community
work with Jamboree Housing to discuss and work out their concerns during the design phase of
the process.
CONSENT CALENDAR: Authority Member Kring removed Item No. 1 from the consent
calendar for further discussion and moved to approve the balance of the consent calendar,
seconded by Authority Member Sidhu. Roll Call vote: Ayes - 5; Chairman Pringle, Authority
Members: Galloway, Hernandez, Kring and Sidhu. Noes - 0. Motion Carried
2. Approve minutes of the Housing Authority meeting held August 21, 2007.

END OF CONSENT:
1. Approve and authorize the Housing Executive Director to execute an Affordable Housing
4773 Agreement with Jamboree Housing Corporation for the Greenleaf/Glenoaks Affordable
Housing Project could occur with this project, especially with the abundance of
apartments in this area and existing parking problems and asked staff if anything was
being done to remedy that problem.
Authority Member Kring removed this item from the consent calendar to express her concern
relative to spillover parking. She recognized the need for affordable housing in the City, but did
not wish to cause problems for existing residences, especially with the proliferation of apartment
complexes in the vicinity and asked staff what was being done to alleviate these concerns.
Brad Hobson, Community Development Department, stated that the only plans currently on the
table were conceptual plans by Jamboree Housing. He pointed out there would be an on-going
design process and staff would work with the community to get their input. He added Jamboree
had worked with the neighboring community during past projects and would do so again. With
regard to the parking requirements for this project and the density bonus ordinance, he
indicated they were prescribed for this type of development by the State of California and in this
particular instance, more parking was being provided than was required by the State.
Authority Member Kring asked that Jamboree Housing Corporation be cautious about the
impacts of their development on neighbors and moved to approve the development agreement
with Jamboree Housing, seconded by Authority member Galloway. Roll Call vote: Ayes - 5;
Chairman Pringle, Authority Members: Galloway, Hernandez, Kring and Sidhu. Noes - 0.
Motion Carried
