That Condition Nos. l, 2, and 3, above mentioned, shall be com- plied with prior to the time that the Building Permit is issued, or within a period of 180 days from date hereof, whichever occurs first, or such fur- ther time as the Commission or City Council may grant. 10.

That all signing on subject property shall be in conformance with the M-l zone. Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed by Charles D. Hulen, of Dunn Development, Inc., representing petitioners, and public hearing scheduled this date. Zoning Supervisor, Ronald Thompson, noted the location of subject property, the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, and briefed the evidence submitted to and considered by the City Planning Commission. That although this development would be an asset to the industrial area, it was felt to allow the lOO% kitchen units would result in an efficiency-type apartment complex, therefore, the Commission approved the development as a motel and limited the number of kitchen facilities to no more than lO% of the total units. The Mayor asked if the applicant wished to address the City Coun- cil. Mr. Charles Hulen, of Dunn Development, Inc., addressed the City Council, stating that the applicants wished to have kitchens in all units, so that the vacancy factor would be reduced during the winter months, there- by reducing the financial burden of the applicants. Councilmen Clark and Schutte asked if the Applicant would be satis- fied with 50% kitchens. Mr. Hulen replied that 50% would be appreciated and would probably allow them to keep their business open during the off season. The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council. Mr. Willard Pool, 12550 Brookhurst Street, Garden Grove, represent- ing the Pacific Drive-In Theatre on State College Boulevard, addressed the City Council, advising they had no objections to subject application, however, they were interested in the outside lighting arrangements, and requested that Conditions Nos~ 5, 8 and 10 as recommended by the City Planning Commission, also be included in any favorable action taken by the City Council. 68-300 City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 5. 1968. 1:30 P.M. The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council, there being no response, declared the hearing closed. RESOLUTION: Councilman Dutton offered a resolution for adoption, granting Conditional Use Permit No. 1024, subject to the recommendations of the City Planning Commission. The foregoing resolution failed to carry, by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSTAINED; ABSENT: COUNCILMEN: COUNCILMEN: COUNCILMEN: COUNCILMEN: Dutton and Pebley Schutte and Clark Krein None Discussion was held by the City Council and Mayor Pebley was of the opinion that to grant the Applicant's request would set a precedent throughout the City, allowing motel units to become small, one-bedroom apartments. The City Attorney advised that the present code provisions contain no specific time limitation for action to be taken by the City Council after the public hearing, therefore, subject application could be held in abeyance for an indefinite period of time, unless at some future meeting, there is a finding as to a determination to grant or not to grant. Councilman Clark asked Mr. Hulen if he would accept 8 or 9 kitchens, or if not, what the minimum would be to make the project economically feasible. Mr. Hulen was of the opinion that anyone developing a motel in this particular area would want as many kitchens as possible to keep them on a sound financial basis, but if the Council reduced the number to nine or ten, then that is how they would develop. RESOLUTION: Councilman Clark offered a resolution for adoption, granting Con- ditional Use Permit No. l024, subject to the conditions of the City Planning Commission, with an amendment to Condition No. 11, to allow six units with kitchens, rather than 10% of the total units. The foregoing resolution failed to carry, by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSTAINED: ABSENT: COUNCILMEN: COUNCILMEN: COUNCILMEN: COUNCILMEN: Schutte and Clark Dutton and Pebley Krein None Further discussion was held, and Mr. Hulen questioned if kitchen units were allowed in 10% of the motel units, would wet bars with sinks be allowed in the remaining units. City Attorney, Joseph Geisler, advised that any action regarding use of wet bars would first require an interpretation as to what constitutes a wet bar, and said interpretation be approved by the City Planning Commission and City Council. That the action of the City Planning Commission would al- low three units with kitchens. RESOLUTION NO. 68R-308: Councilman Clark offered Resolution No. 68R-308 for adoption, granting Conditional Use Permit No. 1024, subject to the recommen- dations of the City Planning Commission, with an amendment to Condition No. II to allow a maximum of three of the proposed units to be equipped with kit- chen facilities.

Councilman Clark seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. RECLASSIFICATION NO. 67-68-70 AND VARIANCE NO. 1965: Councilman Dutton noted at the last meeting Mr. . Ta1t recited State law provisions and points and authori- ties relative to action taken by Councilman Schutte, with reference to "Con- flict of Interest" in the above-noted zoning applications. Councilman Dutton advised that he had requested the City Attorney to explore the situation and report on what constituted conflict of interest, and thereupon asked Mr. Geisler to inform the Council of his findings on the common law and .public policy as it applies to this case. l Mr. Geisler referred to two papers on the subject, prepared by City Attorneys, which were copied and delivered to each Councilman. He stated the papers contained suggestions and recommendations, however, the opinions were Il... basically the same .as he previously reported, and that is, a conflict of in- . terestwou1d be i1iega1 when dealing with a contractual matter with the City. As to any other conflict of interest, there were no particular rules or regu- lations. Regarding the case presented by Mr. Talt, Mr. Geisler advised that there are specific requirements, clarified by law, where a conflict of in- terest does not exclude a councilman from participation, such as a hearing of protest on an assessment district, and as another example, selecting a mayor. Regarding a zoning matter, there were no laws to cover this situa- tion, nor any cases that hold a conflict of interest to be illegal, however, the recommendations made, as :;O':3C?: in a third paper which he has requested to be sent to him, deals with a provision where a city council may adopt, by ordinance, a Code of Ethics, wherein the areas of conflict of interest, where a councilman must disqualify himself, would be detailed. Mr. Geisler stated he has read most of the points and authorities cited by Mr. talt, however, he did not have a written report in connection with this. One area which Mr. Geisler advised he would prepare a written recom- mendation was a Charter Provision, requiring three affirmative votes to adopt an ordinance or resolution, as the Charter, as written could prevent a major- ity of a quorum from adopting a resolution or ordinance. If a procedural or- dinance is considered, it should also set forth the final disposition of an ordinance or resolution, in the case of a tie vote. In answer to Councilman Dutton, regarding subject incident, Mr. Geisler restated his opinion in that this was a conflict of interest, however~ not a disqualifying conflict of interest that would prohibit a vote. -, I I J I I r 68-309 City s.11. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 5. 1968. l:30 P.M. Councilman Dutton questioned the Council's action, and noted pos- sible litigation, due to the fact that in each instance Councilman Schutte voted before the vote became tied. Councilman Dutton thereupon read excerpts from papers prepared for the City Attorney,Division of t~e League of California Cities, as duplicated for each Councilman, covering briefly the following: l. Paper presented by Robert Costello, City Attorney of Redwood City, on "An Analysis of Conflict of Interest - Statutes Adopted by the 1963 Legislature," relative to a non-contractual matter, wherein prosecution may result under certain sections of the Government Code and Penal Code. 2. "Ethics in Public Life," statements of fO,rmer President Herbert Hoover. 3. Synopsis of specific cases where participation was ruled a conflict of interest, and where participation was required. 4. Description of "Personal Interest," as contained in the Palo Al to '-Code. Councilman Dutton advised that in reading the contents of the pa- pers submitted, in his opinion, Councilman Schutte's participation in sub- ject zoning case was misconduct in office. He further stated that he would have preferred to have the case referred back to the City Planning Commis- sion, in that the City Council operated on a basis different from that of the City Planning Commission. Discussion was held, and Mr.' Geisler noted that in none of the papers presented is there legislation on a specific ca.se law on disqualifi- cation, except as it refers to contracts. Further, should the action be contested, proof that the action was contrary to the public interest would be required. He noted that the action taken by the City Council was as recommended. by the 'City Planning Commission, and in his opinion, it could be defended as legal. Councilman Dutton felt there should be an amendment to the Charter, to clarify this point, or an ordinance enacted setting forth clearly when a conflict of interest exists and does not exist. Councilman Dutton further reported onv::'dous statements permitted by COUtt:::~_:-!'(l.en, w::, th. complete immunity, and 'felt that rather than making d~ging insinuations about a fellow Councilman, if it were felt certain con- ditions were facts they should be referred to the District Attorney. Councilman Clark concurred with the recommendation than an ordin- ance be enacted to clarify this situation beyond any doubt, so that there would never be e recurrence of a similar incident.
