be authorized.
Mr. Jack Alter, Vice President of Mazza Properties, Inc., was present and at
the invitation of Chairman Seymour, came forward to advise that original plans
for subject properties were changed because they now feel that commercial or
o €ffce use would be impossible on these parcels. He pointed out that over
1,000 senior citizens are on the waiting list for the Village Center; therefore
they were proposing a seven -story senior housing development for Parcel 4(c) as
the most economic development. If available, they planned to request HUD

Section 8 financing, if it can be obtained. The "total care" concept of
senior housing, which would cost residents approximately $600 -$900 per
month, had some interest. Their plans for such a facility consisted of
257 one - bedroom units of about 400 square feet each, and included a paramedic
room. The highrise condominium complex proposed for Parcels 4d and e contained
290 two - bedroom, two -bath units of approximately 1,258 square feet each,
which would sell for $75,000 to $80,000. The total development would consist
of three towers, which would be designed around a center utility area.
Mr. Alter noted existing proposals for development in the Downtown
Redevelopment Area which would create an additional demand for housing.
Mrs. Kaywood inquired whether by authorizing the ninety -day negotiation
agreement, the Agency would be approving the proposed project.
Mr. Priest replied that the Agency would be indicating approval of the con-
cept of intensive residential development for the three parcels, but not the
density proposed,nor the design.
Mr. Seymour stated that the concept proposed seemed worthwhile, and if the
neighborhood concerns of traffic, utilities, etc. could be answered, the
proposed project would be a tremendous addition to the Redevelopment
Project.
At the conclusion of the discussion, Mr. Roth moved that the proposed
ninety -day negotiation agreement with Mazza Properties, Inc., be authorized.
Mr. Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
161.158: RELOCATION CLAIMS AGAINST THE CITY No relocation claims pending
over a ninety -day period were reported.
ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Anaheim
