Demands against the Redevelopment Agency and the Housing Authority,
in the amounts of $4,031.02 and $580.06 respectively, in accordance
with the 1975 -76 Budget, were approved.
I. ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY The following matters were considered
by the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency:
DOWNTOWN CONCEPT PLAN - SLIDE PROGRAM Community Development Director
Knowlton Fernald reported that an automated slide program had been
prepared to illustrate the recommendation of the Redevelopment staff
and consultants for general land use and circulation patterns in the
downtown area, said program being prepared for presentation and maxi-
mum exposure in the community. He further reported on the procedure
for implementation of such a plan, advising that a public hearing on
a General Plan Amendment would be scheduled before the City Planning
Commission on February 18, 1976, with an amendment to the Redevelopment
Plan, including land use and circulation elements which by law are
required to be consistent with the City General Plan, to be con-
sidered early in March.
At this time, the twenty -two minute slide program was presented.
(Commissioner Seymour entered the Council Chamber, 10 :55 A.M.)
At the conclusion of the presentation, and in response to
question by Chairman Thom, Mr. Fernald reported that to date, the
program has been presented to the Intermode Committee, the Anaheim
Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, and the Redevelopment Commis-
sion, and it seemed that the initial reaction had been positive. He
further advised that it is intended that, commencing in approximately
two weeks, the program will be presented as information to the commun-
ity as often as possible; and in conjunction, printed materials
including a plan illustrating the circulation and land use plans would
be distributed.

Anaheim Redevelopment Agency Continued
Commissioner Seymour reported he had been present at the Chamber
of Commerce showing, and although the initial reaction was positive,
there was a great deal of material included in the presentation which
the Board members expressed a desire to take more time to absorb.
Commissioner Kaywood questioned where parking facilities would
be provided in the area.
Room
Mr. Fernald replied that generally, parking would be provided
within each given site to serve that particular site.
(Chairman Thom left the Council Chamber, 11 :05 A.M.)
In most cases, it was anticipated that these various sites would be
designed with their parking to be centrally located, and people would
be encouraged to park in one location serving several facilities. In
addition, design would be oriented to the movement of a high density
of around the lake, hotel, office and retail activities.
No action was taken by the Redevelopment Agency.
EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO NEGOTIATE, AMERICAN SPACE INSTITUTE: Mr. Fernald
reported on a recommendation from the Community Redevelopment Commis-
sion for an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement with the American
Space Institute, which is a part of the National Space Institute
'(copies of report and draft agreement furnished each Commissioner).
He read his report, advising that the institute is a non - profit
educational and scientific organization, and noting the stated goals
of the institute. He advised that the Institute proposed to locate --�»
a Space Park and Museum within the Downtown Project Alpha Area, an
eleven -acre portion of a thirty -acre site generally located on the
north side of Broadway Street, south of the alley south of Lincoln
Avenue, between Olive and Atchison Streets; further, the Anaheim
area was selected for this development because it is at the center
of Southern California with its large space contracting and assembly
facilities, and because of the proximity of the downtown area to the
Disneyland and Convention Center area, which attracts more than ten
million visitors annually. He listed the four major elements of the
plans, i.e., a space museum, a space technology demonstration center,
a space information center, and space age attractions.
(Chairman Thom returned to the Council Chamber, 11 A.M.)
It was the recommendation of the Community Redevelopment Com-
mission that an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement with the
American Space Institute for the development of the space park and
corporate headquarters be authorized.
Mr. George Shibata and Mr. George W. S. Johnson, Directors of
the American.Space Institute, were introduced. Mr. Johnson presented
a slide display, pointing out that approximately 90% of the hardware -•
for the U.S. Space Program was assembled in Southern California.
Although the area has contributed a great deal, the industry and the
people associated with the program have not been honored, and it is
hoped that this can be accomplished through the space museum. He
went on to describe some of the attractions which would be on display
both indoors and outdoors, and the existing space museum in Huntsville,
Alabama. Also noted was the intention to work closely with local
school districts to make the museum available for educational pro-
grams.

Anaheim Redevelopment Agency, Continued
Commissioner Seymour inquired the price of admission at the
Huntsville museum, and whether research has indicated the number of
visitors which would be required to render the Anaheim enterprise a
success.
Mr. Johnson replied that the admission is $1.8.0 in Alabama,
with additional profits realized from sales of artifacts, etc. In
Huntsville, the average number is one quarter million visitors per
year, in an area not oriented to the tourist industry. Approxi-
mately one million people per year would be necessary to insure the
success of the larger Anaheim project, and although this will be
examined in greater detail, it is felt that there will be a large
enough number of visitors to support the operation here.
Commissioner Seymour expressed enthusiasm for the proposed
space park and museum, and was of the opinion it would be a good use
for property within Project Alpha.
Chairman Thom concurred, pointing out that two of the largest
space - related industries have facilities in Anaheim, Rockwell Inter-
national, and the Northrop Corporation. It seemed highly important
that this City be chosen as the site for such an enterprise.
RESOLUTION NO. CDC75 -56 Commissioner Seymour offered Resolution
No. CDC75 -56 for adoption, authorizing the execution of an Exclusive
Right to Negotiate Agreement with the American Space Institute for
the development of a -space park and museum on property located within
the Downtown Redevelopment Project Alpha area.

ANAHEIM INTRACITY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM STUDY: The Redevelopment
Agency, at the regular meeting held December 16, 1975, reviewed the
Request for Proposals (R.F.P.) to conduct an Anaheim Intracity Trans-
portation System Study and Analysis, and directed that said R.F.P.
be modified to designate the Multi -Modal Transportation Center as
a particular area for study in the first phase of the transportation
study, particularly as to the projected location of the center in
the area of Anaheim Stadium.
Mr. Fernald reported that modification had been made as requested,
to place more emphasis on the facility's location in the area of the
stadium.
After reviewing the document, Commissioner Seymour stated the
modification satisfied his previous concern, and he thereupon moved
that the R.F.P. be accepted as modified, including a funding ratio
of 75% to 25% for the Redevelopment Agency and the City of Anaheim,
respectively. Commissioner Thom seconded the motion. Commissioner
Pebley absent. MOTION CARRIED.
