TEMPORARY MINI-MALL LOCATION - PARKING AND HELICOPTER PAD: Mrs. Schultz advised
that this Joint meeting was requested to discuss concerns of the Library Board
relating to the proposed temporary mini-mall for downtown merchants to be located
between the Police Department building and the Central Library.
Councilman Seymour arrived at 3:15 p.m.
Mr. Priest and Mr. Cunningham reported on the current status of the proposed
temporary mini-mall noting that seven merchants have signed rental agreements and
negotiations are in progress with a lending institution. Copies of a drawing were
distributed showing the proposed location of two modular buildings and 126 parking
spaces. Mr. Priest further advised that the drawing was not a concrete plan and
revisions could be made, if desired.
Discussion ensued wherein Library Board members expressed concern with the impact
the proposed mini-mall would have on the already-existing parking problems in the
parking lot used jointly by the Library and Polic Departments. Co~mnunity Rede-
velopment Commission members questioned the proposed location of the Police heli-
copter pad and discussed the possibilities of relocation ta another area in the
City.
Mr. Griffith co~nented that although no study has been made to determine exact
causes of the present parking situation at the Library, it was felt that the joint
use of said lot with the Police Department personnel and employee parking by Bank
of America and Carl's Jr. contributed to the problems being experienced resulting
in insufficient parking for Library patrons. He requested consideration of a study
to determine the exact causes of said problems and alternatives available to resolve
them.

Central Library, 500 West Broadway, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL/AGENCY MINI~ES -
September 28, 1977,. 3:00 P~..M.
Asst. City Attorney Lowry noted that zoning applications for the Bank of Ameri~a
and Carl's Jr. could be checked for employee parking stipulations and if they are
not fulfilling such conditions, an Order to Show Cause could be issued to both
companies.
It was further pointed out that the 126 parking spaces to be provided in the mini-
mall does exceed the zoning code requirement and that primary access would be from
Harbor Boulevard. Any access to or from the Library parking lot could be secured,
if desired. Mr. Priest also indicated that he would meet with Redevelopment and
Library staff to mark up the proposed site plan drawing in an effort to resolve
any problems.
In reply to concerns expressed as to the helicopter pad, Mr. Priest advised
several alternatives have been discussed with the Police Department, as follows:
(1) to move the facility to the west side of the ex~sting parking lot which would
be the least expensive, but would eliminate approximately 40 parking spaces from
the present parking lot; (2) to provide a roof-top facility to the existing Police
building at a cost of approximately $60,000; and (3) to provide a raised heli-
copter pad over the existing pad at a cost of approximately $98,000. Mayor Thom
added that the Police Department would oppose relocation of said facility to any
other area in the City. Assistant City Manager Hopkins indicated that a meetfng
to resolve this issue would be held with the Police, Library and the Redevelopment
staff.
Council members noted that a decision relative to :ht~ location and development oil
the mini-mall is to be made by the Redevelopment A?,~cy at their meeting to be held
October 4, 1977 and that the proposed developer has noted that October 31, 1971 is
the last day he can break ground in order to have the mall ready for move-~n ~
February 1, 1978. Councilman Seymour expressed concern with the possibility ~. ~he
Police/Library parking situation infringing onto th~~, mini-mall parking lot and
suggested a jointly-funded parking study with the L~brary to determine their needs,
problems, and alternatives available to resolve them; and what impact, if any, the
mini-mall would make on the present Library parking lot.
MOTION: Following discussion as to procedure to be followed for a parking st~dy,
Councilman Seymour moved that the Redevelopment Agency and the City Council enter
