End of Consent Calendar. MOTION CARRIED. 173: AT&T COMMUNICATIONS' APPLICATION FOR RATE INCREASE: Councilwoman Kaywood referred to the subject application (No. 85-11-029) filed with the California Public Utilities Commission on November 18, 1985. She stated since the break up of the telephone companies, citizens found their telephone bills doubling and tripling. Although she ielt objecting to the proposed increase of 7 percent would be fruitless, it should not be allowed to occur without any comment. She wanted to register her no vote on the proposal. The City could send a representative to the hearing before the Commission or send a ~rritten objection. Councilman Pickler felt it would be best for the citizens themselves to write letters which would have more of an impact; Councilman Overholt agreed with Counilwoman Kaywood that as elected officials, they should encourage a return to sanity in the telephone communication field. He asked the City Attorney what they could do to register extreme concern over what was happening in that field. City Attorney, Jack White explained that the Council could adopt a resolution taking an official position of the City and forward it to the Commission which would be considered at the hearing. If they wanted to do something stronger, a representative of the City could appear at the hearing and register the City's complaint. 920 City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 10, 1985, 10:00 A.M. Mayor Roth felt a resolution would be appropriate indicating the Council's concern over the effects of such increases accompanied by a deterioration of service on Anaheim citizens; Councilwoman Kaywood stated that a letter signed by Council Members would be more effective than a resolution. MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved that a letter be sent to the California Public Utilities Commission signed by all Council Members protesting rate increases as well as a deterioration of service provided by AT&T. Councilman Roth seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Bay stated even though he voted for the motion, in reading the data, there were areas he was not opposed to. One of the issues driving up line costs with AT&T was over use by personal computers and various computer hook-ups tying up lines. He was not opposed to increases in those levels if that was one of the prime causes of increased rates. 108: APPLICATION FOR DANCE HALL PERMIT - JACK MURPHY'S: Submitted by Wesley Hayes Demarest, for Jack Murphy's, for dancing 7 nights a week from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., 1233 South Brookhurst. Councilman Pickler did not feel that dancing should be allowed until 2:00 a.m. in establishments surrounded by residential. He would prefer a 1:00 a.m. time limit on this application as well as the previous application (Kartoons and Kaper). A 2:00 a.m. time limit would be acceptable in areas such as the Convention Center/Disneyland area where entertainment was a major factor. Mayor Roth stated even with a 2:00 a.m. limit, he believed that most such businesses started winding down at 1:00 a.m. or 1:30 a.m. Sgt. James Brantley reported the experience has been that dancing and service usually ends at 1:00 a.m. and perhaps 1:30 a.m. the latest. Alcoholic Beverage Commission laws allow service until 2:00 a.m. It would be the Council's prerogative to adopt some type of guideline that would limit those businesses to a 1:00 a.m. time limitation. Councilman Pickler felt that with a 1:00 a.m. time limit, dancing would stop and perhaps drinking. There was a great deal of discussion about drunk driving and many victims of vehicle accidents were those killed by patrons coming out of bars. If dancing stopped at 1:00 a.m., it would possibly limit that trend. He would like the Council to vote a 1:00 a.m. curfew on dancing at those businesses located in residential and commercial areas. Mayor Roth questioned who was going to make a determination of the areas that would or would not be affected. He suggested that the Council act on the subject application today and subsequently give direction to staff to submit a report to the Council with recommendations for consideration of a change in the overall current policy. MOTION: Councilman Bay moved to approve the public dance hall permit submitted by Wesley Hayes Demarest, for Jack Murphy's, for dancing 7 nights a week from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., 1233 South Brookhurst. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. Councilman Pickler voted no. MOTION CARRIED. 921 Cit7 Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 10, 1985, 10:00 A.M. Mayor Roth asked that Sgt. Brantley coordinate with the City Attorney relative to the issue of possibly setting a different time limit for dancing in public places. 123: POSITION CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION STUDY: Councilman Pickler wanted to know if all the companies who submitted proposals were listed in the November 19, 1985 staff report from the Human Resources Department. Human Resources Director, Garry McRae stated there were a number of companies who called and inquired relative to the request for proposals but subsequently declined to be included. The seven listed in the attachment to the report were the formal proposals which were considered. MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved to approve the agreement with Nash and Company, Inc., to conduct a position classification and compensation study for all service, maintenance and skilled craft job classes, at a cost not to exceed $42,950, as recommended in memorandum dated November 19, 1985 from the Human Resources Director. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. 150: CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS FUNDING OF GERONTOLOGY CENTER - CALIFORNIA STATE UNivERSITY FULLERTON: City Manager, William Talley referred to memorandum dated December 3, 1985 from Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, recommending that the Council determine a position on contributing funds towards construction of a gerontology center at Cal State University Fullerton. Staff believed this was strictly a policy issue since it was not a project which the City previously contributed to. Mr. Gordon Shaw, Fundraising Committee of the Gerontology Center, first narrated a slide presentation with regard to the request for funding dealing with the activities being carried on presently, the facilities being used and the proposal for the new Center to be totally funded by private groups or individuals as well as City support and funding from the County of Orange. Of the needed 51.7 million, 1.3 million had already been raised. California State University Fullerton was providing the 2.3 acre site for the Center and would also provide the ongoing maintenance of the facility. Utilities would be a part of that maintenance. (See letter dated November 13, 1985 from Leo S. Shapiro, Co-Chair of the Fundratsing Committee, Gerontology Center Fundrat~tn~ Drive, Conttnutn~ L~arnin~ Rxp~ri~nea (CIA) California §tare University Fullerton, with attachments which explained the program in detail, the specifics of the funding request, the services provided, list of major contributors, campaign funds report, and a drawing of the proposed Center - previously made a part of the record). Mr. David Mohr, Fundraising Committee, assisting Mr. Shaw, described the balance of the services provided. He also pointed out that of the 51,300,000 already raised 5500,000 of that had been pledged among the present 300 members of the program. They were hoping for a May, 1986 groundbreaking. Mr. Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services then elaborated on the discussion presented in his memo of December 3, 1985. Anaheim had one of the strongest programs in the United States with its 922 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 10, 1985~ 10:00 A.M. existing senior citizen program. However, there was presently only one out-reach and research type university conducting comprehensive research into all social and physiological aspects of the aging process, that being the Andres Gerontology Center located on the Campus of USC in Los Angeles. The proposed Center at the Cal State Fullerton Campus would provide a tremendous opportunity to be able to work with a research outreach center to combine and utilize the best of the university world with the best in terms of senior citizen programs at a nearby location. Steve Swaim, Community Services Manager, answering Councilman Overholt, stated that he did not believe the Anaheim senior citizen groups knew of the proposed project at this point. He also explained for Councilwoman Kaywood that he saw the program as an exciting opportunity to do some joint programming. Councilman Overholt stated he would feel more comfortable if the Council first obtained a recommendation from the Senior Citizen Commission and the Anaheim Senior Citizens Group since they were the people who knew the "pulse" of the the senior community. He would prefer to hear a recommendation from them that the program was something that would be valuable in enhancing the fine program already established in Anaheim. MOTION: Councilman Overholt moved that the requested determination of a position on contributing funds towards construction of a Gerontology Center at Cal State University Fullerton be continued to January 7, 1986 and that staff be directed to ask for a recommendation from the Senior Citizen Commission and the Anaheim Senior Citizen Club. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. 181: IMAGINATION CELEBRATION: Request for funding forwarded by Elizabeth H. Dugan, Coordinator, Orange County Imagination Celebration, at the request of Norma Hertzog, Mayor of Costa Mesa, that the City make a donation to the Orange County Imagination Celebration to be held March 8-15, 1986, an educational program of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. This matter was continued from the meeting of December 3, 1985, to this date. Councilwoman Kaywood moved to approve $2,000 from the Council Contingency Fund as a donation for the Imagination Celebration. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. ~efore a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood emphasized that it was a great coup" for the Kennedy Center to have chosen Orange County as a site for the program which would provide a variety of arts experiences for young people and their families helping to build a new audience for the Arts in Orange County that would have a lasting effect not only on the County, but also Anaheim. A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED. 144: APPOINTMENT OF BOARD REPRESENTATIVE - ORANGE COUNTY VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICT: Gilbert L. Challet, District Manager, Orange County Vector Control District, requesting re-appointment of Judie De Perry or a successor, as representative on the Board of Trustees for a two year term of office to 923 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 10p 1985, 10:00 A.M. December 31, 1987. Submitted was letter dated November 22, 1985 from Mr. Challet. Before any action was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood requested a continuance of one week on the appointment. The Council had never received a report since the appointment of Ms. De Perry in 1977. She wanted to at least receive a semi-annual or annual report and a copy of the minutes of meetings held which were no longer submitted. She wanted an opportunity to speak to Ms. De Perry in the meantime. MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to continue the appointment of a representative to the Orange County Vector Control District Board of Trustees, to December 17, 1985. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. 162: REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF HELICOPTER RIDES - GRACE ~APTIST CHURCH: Frank Morgan, Grace Baptist Church, requesting approval to provide helicopter rides in connection with a planned church activity at the Grace Baptist Church, located at 2530 West La Palma, on December 31, 1985, from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Submitted was report dated December 5, 1985 from the Planning Department/Zoning Division recommending denial of the subject. Mr. Frank Morgan, Church Activities Director, Grace Baptist Church, explained his request as outlined in his letter dated November 17, 1985, an activity to take place on New Year's Eve providing an exciting alternative for youngsters of high school and junior high school age when many people would be out drinking and driving. In reading the recommendation of denial from the Planning Department, the objection was directed to the proximity of the activity to residential properties. Mr. Morgan thereupon presented for Council perusal an aerial photograph of the residential block involved showing the house number of the residences in the photograph, which numbers corresponded to the numbers on the petition he was submitting signed by those living in the affected residences that they had no objection to the proposed activity. He went to every house within 300 feet of the proposed landing site and everyone was excited about it. Further, the proposed helicopter approach did not go over any homes or apartment buildings but only commercial. The company with which they were dealing was Boyd Aviation, the same company who performed maintenance on the Anaheim Police Department helicopters, a highly reputable firm. He urged Council approval of his proposal. City Attorney, Jack White stated in reviewing the matter with Planning staff, it was his opinion that helicopter landing sites, even on a temporary basis, constituted a use of property which would bring it within the regulatory provisions of the Zoning Code. There were no provisions in that Code that would authorize temporary helicopter landings without determination by the Planning Department initially that this was what is called an unqualified use under the Zoning Code thereby authorizing the applicant to file a conditional use permit for that use even on a temporary basis. Since it was his opinion that a CUP would be required, there was no procedure legally authorized under the law to grant a CUP other than going through a public hearing process. That process could not legally be waived by a petition even if signed by 100 percent of the people within the 300-foot radius. 924 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 10, 1985, 10:00 A.M. Mayor Roth stated that what Mr. Morgan was proposing was commendable but as explained by the City Attorney, the Council could not grant a CUP without going through the public hearing process and there was no time for such a process to take place before the date scheduled for the activity. He suggested that Mr. Morgan work out of Fullerton Airport where such an activity might be permitted. Additional discussion followed wherein Councilman Pickler expressed his concern in any case flying helicopters in residential, commercial or even industrial areas and the potential of liability involved. MOTION: Councilman Bay moved to deny the request for approval to provide helicopter rides in connection with a planned church activity at the Grace Baptist Church. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. 179: ILEQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME - VARIANCE NO. 3409: Submitted was report dated November 25, 1985 from the Zoning Division, recommending that a retroactive extension time be granted. David S. Collins, Realtor, explained for Councilwoman Kaywood that the project was still viable, the problem being to find someone to operate it when completed. MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved to approve a one-year, four month retroactive extension of time on Variance No. 3409, to expire August 21, 1986. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. 000/101/142: ORDINANCE NO. 4655 - ESTABLISHING AN INTERIM FEE FOR PURLTC IMPROVEMENTS IN THE ANAHEIM STADIUM BUSINESS CENTER: Adding Chapter 17.30 to the Code, establishing an interim fee for public improvements in the Anaheim Stadium Business center. This matter was continued from the meetings of November 26 and December 3, 1985, to this date (see minutes those dates where extensive discussion took place and input received). Mr. Douglas Ring, attorney representing Stadium Business Park, 10960 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, explained that two meetings had taken place with staff since the last Council meeting (December 3, 1985). He first wanted to commend staff for their willingness to rearrange their lives and schedules in order to meet with developer~ and had nothing but the highest praise ~or them. He emphasized that the City should be proud of the quality of its staff as well as the spirit, enthusiasm and commitment which they brought to their work, attributes that were not typical in the staff of many other cities with which he had been involved. His primary reason for being present today, however, was to withdraw the objections he registered a week ago relative to the interim fee proposal and its impact on his client. Dennis Abramson, Hanover Real Estate Associates, 1200 East Katella Avenue, Anaheim, also recognized the outstanding Job done by staff. He had appeared at the meeting of November 26 and December 3, 1985. He reiterated the following - that his company had received responses to their EIR, they have been busy with their applications since October of last year when they first started working with City Hall, the Anaheim Area Study work book acknowledged 925 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 10, 1985~ 10:00 A.M. Hanover Real Estate Associates as having 1.235 million square feet in that area. In the interim, they met again with staff but once again there was no ability or willingness on the part of staff to come to any conclusion on his application. Staff had problems committing themselves to any opinion on the matter which might have been favorably acted on on behalf of his company largely because of the precedent staff might have been setting in the circumstances of the application just withdrawn by Mr. Ring. He requested that the Council either pass the ordinance and exclude Hanover Real Estate from it or allow them to work out an amicable agreement. While they acknowledged the need for the ordinance, pleased that it was going to be passed, and supported it in all its parts, somewhere a compromise should be reached with respect to his company. Councilwoman Kaywood asked if any other company was in the same position as Mr. Abramson's. Joel Fick, Assistant Director for Planning, stated that others were similar. There was a distinction inasmuch as Mr. Abramson had initiated his notice of preparation and commenced work on his EIR. However, staff felt the program, as it stands, was sound in terms of the tiering and the benefit allocated to the representative groups. The project was different from those within the tiering system since it was general planned and zoned industrially and there were a number of other such projects that had similar ambitions of being included within the General Plan Amendment areas. For that reason, staff's recommendation had been continually the same. The project should pay the standard fee. Mayor Roth noted that having met with staff, Mr. Abramson did not find that those meetings came to a successful conclusion. If the ordinance was adopted today, he wanted to know if there was any possibility of continuing discussions or any way for the Council to amend the ordinance or take the issue into consideration at a later date. Jack White, City Attorney stated if the ordinance was adopted today, it would take effect in 30 days. At any time after the adoption of any ordinance the Council had the prerogative to amend the ordinance if facts so warranted. The Council could make changes to the fee schedule during the 30-day period but he did not see that any change made would be capable of being adopted as an urgency ordinance which would change the ordinance 20 days hence. Any change made would be effective 30 days after the adoption of the ordinance that made the change. There would be a time frame, if the Council adopted the ordinance today, when the ordinance would be in effect prior to making any changes. Councilman Pickler offered Ordinance No. 4655 for adoption. Refer to Ordinance Book. ORDINANCE NO. 4655: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY 0FANAHEIMADDING CHAPTER 17.30 TO TITLE 17 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING AN INTERIM FEE FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN THE ANAHEIM STADIUM BUSINESS CENTER. 926 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 10, 1985, 10:00 A.M. Before a vote was taken, Councilman Overholt stated that Mr. Abramson did not want to see the door slammed on his ability to continue to have dialogue with staff to try to work something out more palatable to his client but the Council was going to vote on the ordinance today. He asked Mr. Priest his suggestion that might give Mr. Abramson some light at the end of the tunnel. Mr. Norm Priest, Director of Community Development and Planning, explained one of the difficult parts was the fact that he (Abramson) felt by taking environmental actions, he should be entitled to a reduction in fees. Staff had sought to define tiers, and not offer tailor-made treatment for every parcel of land. Staff understood Mr. Abramson's point of view that by filing the environmental documents and undertaking that report would entitle him to some reduction. They did not look at every parcel to see where, on a scale, that parcel fit but that the tiering originally recommended was appropriate as it was today. Staff was recommending that the Council go forward with the ordinance today. No matter where the tier was established, someone would be just above or below it. Staff had no problem working with developers. He urged that the Council pass the ordinance and if staff arrived at some other approach, would make a recommendation to the Council. Mr. Abramson reiterated they were not Just another developer amongst others but they have been serious developers working in a serious climate of development. The preparation of the EIR report by Phillips Brandt and Reddick cost them $40,000 or 550,000. It was not in its preparatory stage but was complete and filed with the Council, read by the Council's officials (staff) and reported on by those officials. They were prepared to accept a lesser fee than $4.00 and a greater fee than the 52.00. From his point of view, there could be no coming back to the Council and a 54.00 fee today would be a 54.00 after today. They were on record in the Council and in documentation and analysis that had gone before the Council. He asked again that they be excluded from the ordinance. Councilman Bay stated as Mr. Abramson explained, in his view, if the ordinance was passed and became effective in 30 days, there was 4o appeal system raising the question of whether or not an appeal procedure should be built into the ordinance. He asked if it was possible to modify the ordinance to include such an appeal system. City Attorney White stated legally it would be possible to incorporate an appeal process but it would have to be tied to certain standards of review as to the basis for the appeal and what was to be considered on the appeal. He would have some difficulty if the appeal process were meant to be a way in which the fees could be adjusted on an individual case-by-case basis based strictly upon hardship or some subjective criteria. If established, it should be of a type that would allow the hearing body to determine if the property had been properly categorized in one of the tiers or whether or not that determination based upon the standards in the ordinance had been made incorrectly. He did not feel it would be proper as a taxing ordinance for the appeal process to simply build into it a manner in which fees could be individually set on properties subjectively. 927 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 10, 1985~ 10:00 A.M. Councilman Bay questioned whether it was possible to define objectively criteria to put it to an appeal section; Mr. White felt it was possible but that the criteria would have to be determining whether or not the determination was properly made as to which of the tiers the individual property fell. Joel Ftck, Assistant Director for Planning, stated in order for the integrity of the program to remain intact, it was necessary to continue to examine the benefit received corresponding to the tiers established. Staff did not believe that the benefit of the fee program they believed was so critical to the industry could be drawn or modified solely on the basis of having submitted an EIR or any other Planning document. They felt it very critical that the benefit of the tiering as it corresponded to the properties that fell within the respective groups remain intact. That was the difficulty they had in making any other recommendation on Mr. Abramson's property. A vote was the taken on the foregoing ordinance. Roll Call Vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Kaywood, 0verholt, Bay, Pickler and Roth None None The Mayor declared Ordinance No. 4655 duly passed and adopted. Mr. Priest noted as part of the staff report of December 2, 1985, two resolutions were recommended, one dealing with a statement of intent relative to assessment districts and the other relative to anticipated development in the City of Orange. Mayor Roth expressed concern that the report was just submitted to the Council prior to the meeting not allowing an opportunity for analysis of the request; Mr. Priest suggested a one-week continuance. Councilman Pickler stated he had real concerns about what was happening in the City of Orange south of the Anaheim Stadium Business Center and its ultimate impact in Anaheim. It was imperative to let the City of Orange know as soon as possible o~ Anaheim's concerns over the development proposed in that area urging that they work with the City. After further discussion on the issue, Mr. Priest suggested that the matter be trailed until the afternoon Council session to give the Council an opportunity to review the documentation and subsequently act upon the resolutions since time was of the essence. MOTION: Councilman Overholt moved to trail consideration of the proposed resolutions to the afternoon Council session. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

(2:04 p.m) 179: PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2730 AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION: APPLICANT: American Medicorp Development Co., 1 River Front Plaza Louisville, Kentucky 40201 ZONING/LOCATION/REQUEST: To construct a 100-unit senior citizens' retirement facility on property located at 631 South Beach Boulevard, with Code waiver of minimum number and type of parking spaces. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Resolution No. PC85-233 granted Conditional Use Permit No. 2730 and approved EIR - Negative Declaration. HEARING SET ON: A review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested by Councilwoman Kaywood at the meeting of November 19, 1985. PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY: Publication in Anaheim Bulletin November 27, 1985. Posting of property November 28, 1985. Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - November 27, 1985. PLANNING STAFF INPUT: See Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated October 28, 1985. COUNCIL CONCERNS: Councilwoman Kaywood. Item No. 16, Page 4 of the staff report states at least one occupant in each unit be 55 years of age or older and the covenant shall be recorded. The senior citizen age in the City of Anaheim is listed at 62. The City is pre-empted by the State on projects of 150 units or more. The subject project is only 100 units allowing for a 62 year age limit. She asked if the applicant would specify a 62 year age limit for both occupants. The units are smaller with less parking than regular senior apartments. APPLICANT'S STATEMENT AND ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS POSED: Manny Aftergut, Agent, Goldrich Kest and Associates, 10233 Ventura Boulevard. He is agreeable to the 62 year age limit. In the case of a married couple they would have to mak~ sure both were age 62. In their extensive experience, the typical covenant states in the case of a married couple, at least one of the partners must be 62. Considering the type of facility proposed, such an age restriction would not be an imposition since the average age in their existing facility is 82. He was, however, concerned over the precedent setting effect in terms of the City. He would abide by the City's wishes. 931 Cit~ Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 10, 1985~ 10:00 A.M. STAFF INPUT: Annika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning. The specific regulation is in the senior housing apartment projects. There are several congregate care facilities and all had age restrictions similar to the State regulation - that one occupant can be 45 years of age; Councilwoman Kmywood. That provision involved projects of 150 units or more. The City's ordinance was passed prior to the State law and after a great deal of discussion, the minimum age was set at 62. Jack White, City Attorney. The Senior Citizen Housing Ordinance adopted within the last year was based upon a recently adopted provision in the Civil Code providing that no covenant could be enforced as to any real property involving senior housing which would be more restrictive than to require one of the occupants to be at least 62 years of age if the project was less than 150 units, or require that the occupant be less than 55 years of age if the project was 150 units or more. The City's ordinance was adopted based upon that same standard contained in the Civil Code. The subject project is under the Senior Citizen Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, the Council had leeway as to the age but, in his opinion, could not be more restrictive than the State law mandate providing that only one resident be 62 years of age. The 55 comes through other channels and is not in compliance with the Senior Citizen Housing Ordinance adopted but would be appropriate legally if Council wanted to make it 55 because they are not seeking the type of relief that the Senior Citizen Housing Ordinance allows. He reiterated the State law provision stating that covenants restricting the age of occupancy on rental property cannot be more restrictive than to require one of the occupants be 62 years of age. It was his opinion the City would not be able to enforce it as to the second occupant. It was his recommendation that that restriction not be imposed. The second occupant was required to be either 45 years of age or providing the sole assistance and care to the one 62 years of age or older. It cannot be just a convenient co-habitation but that the younger person is providing physical care to the senior citizen. He also clarified if the 62 year old passed away, the younger person would still be able to live there and take in another partner as long as that person was 62. The original draft of the City's ordinance provided both had to be 62 but while it was in the drafting stages, the State law was passed providing only one be 62. APPLICANT'S STATEMENT: Manny Aftergut. He also clarified that staff parking was included in the total of 44 spaces. They had approximately 14 such facilities in operation with approximately 1500 rooms, the oldest one having been in existence 12 or 15 years. They have a long track record and a good one. They are the operators of La Palma Royale in 932 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 10~ 1985~ 10:00 A.M. Anaheim and they have never had problems with parking or with being a burden to the neighborhood. The proposed facility is the same type of facility as La Palma Royale but with an even higher parking ratio. PUBLIC DISCUSSION- IN FAVOR : None. PUBLIC DISCUSSION- IN OPPOSITION: None. EXHIBITS, MATERIALS SUBMITTED: None. COUNCIL ACTION: Mayor Roth closed the public hearing. CHANGES TO PROPOSAL AS A RESULT OF COUNCIL CONCERNS: On age limitation, one of two people sharing the same unit must be 62 years of age or older. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Pickler, the City Council approved the negative declaration upon finding that it has considered the negative declaration together with any comments received during the public review process, and further finding on the basis of the initial study and any comments received that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. MOTION CARRIED. Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 85R-510 for adoption, granting Conditional Use Permit No. 2730, subject to City Planning Commission conditions and relative to the age limitation that one of two people sharing the same unit must be 62 years of age or older. Refer to Resolution Book. RESOLUTION NO. 85R-510: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2730. Before a vote was taken, Mr. Aftergut referred to one of the conditions imposed (see Condition No. 3 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 85R-233) relative to payment for in-lieu park fees prior to issuance of a building permit. He sent a letter to Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, explaining the type of development they were planning pointing out that any impact from their facility on Parks was a positive one. They were taking elderly people away from parks and senior citizen recreation centers and providing park amenities within their own facilities. He asked that consideration be given relative to whether congregate care facilities offering 5,000 square feet of amenity space and a $50,000 annual budget for supervised recreational facilities ought to pay the full fee that would otherwise be chargeable to 933 City Hall~ Anahetm~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 10, 1985, 10:00 A.M. apartment units without age restrictions. They could live with the condition on their proposed project but wanted the Council put on notice that they felt it was fair for the Parks Department and Planning Department to try to work out a fair and reasonable fee considering the positive impact of their facility in draining people from public facilities. Annika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning. Parks and Recreation is looking at congregate care facilities as possibly potentially being a fourth level in-lieu fee amount but at present there was no such level in the ordinance. A vote was then taken on the foregoing resolution. Roll Call Vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Kaywood, Overholt, Bay, Pickler and Roth None None The Mayor declared Resolution No. 85R-510 duly passed and adopted. 177: PUBLIC HEARING - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY HOUSING POLICY REPORT: To consider and review the Redevelopment Agency Housing Policy Report, which involves the Agency policies in connection with housing, development, and low-income assistance to be followed in issuing single family Mortgage Revenue Bonds.

PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY: Publication in Anaheim Bulletin November 25, 1985. STAFF INPUT: Norm Priest, Director of Community Development and Planning. On this item and the one following, Council had already taken action at the Redevelopment Agency and Housing Authority today. The public hearing is a legal requirement. Should the City wish to issue bonds next year, this is a procedural stage. PUBLIC DISCUSSION- IN FAVOR: None. PUBLIC DISCUSSION- IN OPPOSITION: None. COUNCIL ACTION: Mayor Roth closed the public hearing. 934 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 10, 1985, 10:00 A.M. COUNCIL CONCERNS: Councilman Bay.

It is a possibility that Certificates of Participation will be used but every issue would have to be considered by the Council individually. Counci]mmn Bay. He had no problem with State bonds or County bonds but with the City issuing Certificates of Participation for any purpose. He wanted his vote clear that he was in favor of the policy relative to bonds, but not Certificates of Participation. Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 85R-511, approving the Housing Policy Report under Internal Revenue Code Section 103A and directing the publication and filing of said report with the Internal Revenue Service by the City Clerk.

The ambitious project was conceived to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of Disneyland. Also the date chosen would have been the 84th Birthday of its founder, Walt Disney. Mayor Roth and other Council Members praised the volunteer efforts which brought the event to fruition as well as giving accolades to the SKYFEST Committee, The City's Public Information Office, employees of the Convention Center and all other employees involved and the approximate 3,000 volunteers who worked early, long and hard inflating the balloons with helium coordinating their efforts to meet the 2 p.m. deadline for total release. An important aspect of the launch was the fact that it was the largest balloon launch ever recorded and officials from the Guinness Book of Records were on hand to audit, verify and ultimately record the event in the Guinness Book. A representative of National Geographic was also present. The Mayor, on behalf of the Council, again thanked everyone involved resulting in a most successful conclusion of a very large and historical undertaking which was reported by local and nationwide media. He asked that letters of thanks be sent to those schools and organizations who made the event possible. RECESS - CLOSED SESSION: Councilman Bay moved to recess into Closed Session.
