PUBLIC COMMENTS (all agenda items except public hearings):
Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez provided her annual update on federal legislation impacting
Orange County and the Anaheim community. She stated she had supported and was
successful in getting funding for major transportation projects such as ARTIC and Anaheim's
Rapid Connection Fixed Guideway system, remarking those projects would bring 57,000 new
jobs and $2.2 billion to be spent in this area. Neighborhood housing funds were approved to
keep Anaheim neighborhoods looking good even as foreclosures occurred and a grant for the
Family Justice Center had been obtained as well. Sitting on the Homeland Security Committee,
Congresswoman Sanchez stated UASI grants had also been earmarked towards Anaheim's
efforts in homeland security. She pointed out 16 bills to help small businesses stay afloat in
California had also been passed, offering tax credits, extensions and depreciation on capital
equipment as well as providing for small loans through a micro - lending program. As the
recession impacts lessened, these programs would help create more jobs and more business
for the state. She also discussed a new program for the unemployed who were unable to find a
job and needed help paying mortgage payments, stating it was in the works and interested
persons could call her office for specifics. She pointed out more money was available for
education, especially to community and state colleges and a new GI bill had passed which
would offer up to four years paid tuition at an institution such as UC Irvine or the equivalent
dollars toward a private university, adding that if the veteran did not use this benefit, the spouse
or children could. Mayor Pringle thanked Congresswoman Sanchez for her help in getting
funding for ARTIC and the Gene Autry Bridge, projects that were now moving ahead and critical
to the City.
Bill Badger, resident, explained he had previously sent a letter to the City explaining his
concerns and objections over current golf operations related to fees. Having been involved in
the Anaheim Hills men's club since its inception, he provided historical information on the
operation and the men's club monetary support of the Anaheim Hills pro shop of almost $1
million to date.
Another golf member speaking in support of Mr. Badger's concerns stressed that golf revenues
were down because rates were too high and golfers looked for other less expensive venues.
Another resident supported Mr. Badger stating that the resident rates versus non - resident rates
were unfair to Anaheim citizens.
Chris Emami, speaking to Item No. 17, explained this "Transparency in Government" ordinance
was an idea that was promulgated by the City of Tustin due to issues arising from the City of
Council Meeting Minutes of October 12, 2010
Page 3 of 10
Bell headlines. He reported that he would be meeting with and urging other cities to adopt the
Transparency in Government ordinance and urged Council's approval of the ordinance.
A speaker wearing a face mask was informed he was welcome to speak during public comment,
however was asked to remove his mask before speaking; he refused.
James Robert Reade, resident, mourned the death of a friend.
Alma Ramirez, resident, criticized Congresswoman Sanchez's achievements.
Sandra Perez, resident, thanked Council for their support of affordable housing in the City,
offering her personal story to gain housing as a single mother.
Cecil Jordan Corcoran, Outreach Homeless Ministries expressed concern over gang activity on
certain areas of Lincoln Boulevard.

Mayor Pringle remarked that in light of the situation that had occurred in the city of Bell, the City
of Tustin adopted an ordinance relating to transparency in government and urged other Orange
County cities to do the same. This ordinance and resolution before Council, similar to Tustin's,
would direct staff to place on Anaheim's website a "transparency in government" button,

Once the button was pressed, the following information would be found: City Council and City
board's information, ethics training certifications, statements of economic interest, Form 803's,
campaign statements, elected and appointed officials expense reports, all labor contracts,
council member's salaries, stipends and benefits, a list of all full -time employees, positions, and
salaries and the City's line item budget.
Mayor Pringle then moved to approve RESOLUTION No. 2010 -171 OF THE CITY OF

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
20. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. 2010 -00002 (DEV2010- 00064)
OWNER /APPLICANT: Dan Miller, Irvine Company, 550 Newport Center Drive,
Newport Beach, CA 92660
AGR -6523 LOCATION: The Mountain Park project site consists of approximately 3,000 acres
located generally in Gypsum Canyon in the City of Anaheim. The site is located
immediately south of the Riverside (SR -91) Freeway, and the Eastern Transportation
Corridor (SR -241) bisects the site into eastern and western segments.
The applicant requests a Development Agreement by and between the City of Anaheim
and The Irvine Land Company LLC and The Irvine Company LLC to provide for the
development of the Mountain Park Specific Plan; a planned community consisting of
2,500 residential units, public park and school site, and various public and private
infrastructure improvements.
Environmental Determination: Previously- Certified Environmental Impact Report No.
331.
ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION:
Motion recommending City Council approval of Development Agreement No. 2010-
00002 (Dev2010- 00064) VOTE: 6 -0 (Chairman Faessel and Commissioners Ament,
Karaki, Persaud, Ramirez and Seymour voted yes. Commissioner Agarwal was
absent) (Planning Commission meeting of August 30, 2010)
MOTION: K/H Find and determine that previously- approved Environmental
Impact Report No. 331 is adequate to serve as the required environmental
documentation for this request.
ORDINANCE NO. 6186 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM (i) approving Development Agreement No.
2010 -00002 by and between the City of Anaheim and The Irvine Land Company LLC
and The Irvine Company LLC (ii) making certain findings related thereto, and (iii)
authorizing the Mayor to execute said agreement for and on behalf of the City.
C.J. Amstrup, Planning Services Manager, reported this item was a request by the Irvine
Company to enter into a development agreement for the Mountain Park project. This
agreement, he pointed out, did not include any changes to the approved Mountain Park
Specific Plan. The Mountain Park community would create 2,500 residences, a park, school,
fire station and other public facilities on approximately 8,000 acres located south of the
Riverside Freeway and adjacent to the 241 toll road. When the Mountain Park Specific Plan
was originally approved in 1994, Mr. Amstrup reported it contained nearly 8,000 residences. At
that time the City entered into a development agreement with the Irvine Company. The original
project was never pursued at the request of the Irvine Company and Council canceled the
agreement in 2004. He noted the Specific Plan was updated in 2005 and the scale of the
project was reduced from 8,000 units to 2,500 homes and at that time, the Irvine Company did
not request a development agreement as development of the community was expected to
Council Meeting Minutes of October 12, 2010
Page 7of10
begin shortly after the approval. Due to ongoing difficult market conditions, construction of the
project was then delayed.
Mr. Amstrup indicated the development agreement would provide the Irvine Company with the
vested right to develop the property in accordance with the specific plan for a period of 20
years and included the following public benefits: early dedication and cooperation on
construction of water reservoir, contribution of $500 per resident for improvement of youth
sports facilities, agreement to explore the use of renewable energy for 25 percent of the
dwelling units that would be constructed within the project and the early payment of fair share
construction costs spent by the City for improvements to Weir Canyon Road and La Palma
Avenue. He added the Planning Commission had approved this agreement on August 30,
2010, and staff recommended Council approval of this project.
Mayor Pringle opened the public, requesting the applicant to speak first.
Dan Miller, Irvine Company, stated that what was before Council this evening was exactly the
agreement approved in 2005. The public benefits, the amount of units, and the specific
infrastructure requirements all remained the same and this action would provide Council with a
chance to memorialize those requirements in an agreement. When marketing conditions
improved, he added, the project would be developed.
Alma Ramirez, resident, asked the developer to consider housing for military veterans and their
families.
With no other speakers, Mayor Pringle closed the public hearing.
Council Member Kring moved to find and determine that the previously- approved Environ-
mental Impact Report No. 331 was adequate to serve as the required environmental
documentation for this request and to introduce ORDINANCE NO. 6186 OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM (i) approving Development Agreement No. 2010 -00002
by and between the City of Anaheim and The Irvine Land Company LLC and The Irvine
Company LLC (ii) making certain findings related thereto, and (iii) authorizing the Mayor to
execute said agreement for and on behalf of the City, seconded by Council Member
Hernandez. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5: Mayor Pringle and Council Members: Galloway,

ORDINANCE NO. 6187 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM (i) approving Amendment No. 1 to
Development Agreement No. 2005 -00007 by and between the City of Anaheim and
Macquarie Platinum Katella Inc. (ii) making certain findings related thereto, and (iii)
authorizing the Mayor to execute said amendment for and on behalf of the City.
C.J. Amstrup, Planning Services Manager, reported in 2005, Council approved a development
agreement in conjunction with a 336 -unit condominium project located on Katella Avenue in the
Platinum Triangle. Although construction began shortly after approval, completion of the project
was stalled due to financial difficulties experienced by the original builder. In February 2010, the
Macquarie group acquired this project and was now completing construction of the 92 units
included in the project's first phase. The development agreement had been approved for an
initial five year term which expired this month and the applicant was requesting a five year
extension of the agreement. Mr. Amstrup pointed out, approval of this request would extend the
term of the agreement to October 12, 2015 and that the developer indicated the requested
extension was due to the downturn in the economy and believed the extension would provide
enough time to complete and sell Phase 1 and develop the remaining phases. He indicated the
Planning Commission reviewed this request on August 30 and recommended Council
approval. The Commission also recommended a new milestone be added to the agreement
requiring the completion of Phase 1 by December 31, 2011 with the applicant assuring staff the
deadline could easily be met as completion of Phase 1 was anticipated for early 2011.
Mr. Amstrup ended his presentation remarking staff recommended approval of this request as
the proposal allowed the extension of the development agreement and allowed the project to be
developed consistent with the City's vision for the Platinum Triangle. Extensions of the
agreement would also be consistent with extensions granted to other Platinum Triangle projects,
including A -Town Stadium, A -Town Metro and the BRE project.
Mayor Pringle opened the public hearing for comment, asking the applicant to speak first.
Dale Pinney, First Western Development, remarked the project was taken over by Macquarie
Bank, the original lender, who stepped in to finish the first phase of the project. This extension,
he explained, would allow time to complete the other three phases as market conditions
improved. Mayor Pringle asked if the developer's market studies showed strength in the market
now to build for -sale condominium units with Mr. Pinney responding that Macquarie believed it
could enter the market as one of the few for sale properties in the area which should be a
benefit.
Alma Ramirez urged for the hiring of a professional resident manager to insure property values
remained constant.
With no other comments offered, Mayor Pringle closed the hearing.
