Mr. Heber Meeks, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Councilman Alton E. Scott PRESENT: ABSENT: Council Members Lauber, Saelid, Helms, Scott, Gilb None On MOTION by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried unanimously the minutes of the regular meeting of December 2, 1975 were APPROVED. Councilman Scott abstained as he was attending an official meeting on that date. Public hearings on the following two items were scheduled for January 6, 1976: Appeal from Planning Commission denial of lot consolidation of City-owned property at 65 N. First Avenue. Appeal from Planning Commission denial of a modification request for reduction of the number of required parking spaces for 65 N. First Avenue. Council acknowledged a communication from Wayne A. Butterfield concerning the above mentioned property and staff waS directed to meet with Mr. Butterfield. Councilman Helms stated in part that it would be appreciated if Council could have some definite plan as to the parking in the subject area. Consideration of Community Development Plan and Housing Assistance Plan and participation with the County in receiving Housing and Community Development funds for the fiscal year 1976-77. The Planning Director advised on various actions which could be taken by Council at this time (set forth in his report dated December 18.) It is necessary for Council to take some action at this time which would be tentative as a 1976-77 budget would have to be developed and presented to Council for approval, The fiscal year of 1977-78 would remain general and be subject to amendments. Council would be committed for a year at a time. Mayor Gilb asked for those in the audience who would like to address Council on this matter and David Parry, 101 Santa Ynez Drive, questioned whether or not the program was in the best interest of the City. He felt if Council could come up with some excellent ideas for utilization of funds and as long as Council was convinced there would be no adverse strings attached it might be a different situation. Ed Passmore, 1109 Columbia Road, felt there are two key premises to the program. One is "that an attempt should be made at all times to follow the objectives laid out by HUD and the other is to watch both what HUD and County actions might be if the City failed to substantially try to 12-16-75 - 1 - 21:8922 achieve those objectives. adopt a specific plan for housing. He felt if Council accepts the funds it should the repair and rehabilitation of existing No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously. The City Manager stated in part that although the Act is Federally funded the funds are controlled by the County and he considered it highly unlikely that the County would give orders and recommended in favor of a second application under which the City would receive about $65,000. Councilman Scott recited in part what he had digested along this line I from his recent National League of Cities' Conference. He felt there is flexibility in the program although as Council has been told by staff and by the Citizens Committee housing is the pred~cation upon which the entire program is based. However it is not necessary for it to be an extensive program in housing. Social Services is very much a part. He felt if cities choose not to participate now solutions may not be local much longer. He then called attention to what in his opinion is a dire need for a park in the East Central area, more so than in the West Arcadia section. He suggested moving the item for the West Arcadia parksite to 1977-78 and the parksite for East Central area moved up to 1976-77. Councilman Helms made reference to a matter which was before the Land Committee recently concerning parcels of property in the West Arcadia area which may possibly be available now but which may be lost by a delay in timing. He agreed with Councilman Scott in the need for a park in the East Central section but there is not anything immediately available in that area whereas the property to which he referred may be available now but may be lost if Council delays too long. feedback informat~on Councilman Saelid submitted concerns with the lack'of, complete citizen! contained in the report prepared by Urban Futures, Inc. Mr. Linn of that Company advised that the Planning Director has been provided with some of that information. Councilman Saelid continued in part that as one reads through the Act the paramount purpose of the program is to assist in low income housing; that as much as Council would like to have funds available for parks and the like it is basically a housing develop- ment act. He felt the proposed contract with the County is wide open in terms of its implications and he could not support it. Councilman Helms said in analyzing the program he felt the benefits which could accrue to the City would far outweigh the dangers that he finds inherent in the program. He submitted disappointment in the report pre- pared by Urban Futures, Inc. and felt some of the statistical data is outdated. However, he evinced an interest in one particular memorandum - that which makes reference to funds which are available through the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation for development of parks, picnic areas, tennis courts, etc. He recommended this memorandum to Council for serious consideration and he would vote for this program. I Councilwoman Lauber commented in part that she has no philosophical attitude about accepting Federal funds, however, reference was made to the recommendations of the Citizens Advisory Committee appointed by Council to do just that and its recommendation was that the City not accept second year funding. She mentioned that so many citizens do not realize the monies cannot be used for an auditorium for instance. She felt more reports were not needed and did not feel comfortable with the concept. Mayor Gilb was of the op~n~on that if the City were to take the funds he was in favor of using it for the property maintenance program but had been informed that the funds would not be available until after July 1976. Some discussion ensued on the recommendation of the Citizens Committee. One motion passed 9 to 0 by the Committee that Council not apply for the second year funding and another motion was passed 5 to 4 that if the funds 12-16-75 - 2 - I HEARING (Zone Change) APPROVED ~ " \(; 'i 1 ~ II vPI HEARING (Mayflower Area) ANNEXATION f. . l~ ~r) I (Report j forthcoming) HEARING ZONE CHANGE APPROVED 21 : 8923 were applied for they be used for additional public.inforkation, additional questionnaires and the like. Councilman Saelid then MOVED that the City not apply for second year funding under the Housing Community Development Act through the County. Councilwoman Lauber seconded the motion which carried on the following roll call vote. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Lauber, Saelid, Gilb Council Members Scott, Helms None Planning Commission Resolution No. 917 recommending a zone change from R-2 to R-l for property located at 360 W. Duarte Road (portion of the Holly Avenue School). The Planning Director explored the content of the report dated October 28 and stated in part that the General Plan designates this area as Public Facility and Open Space and since there is no zone classification for such designations it was recommended that the zone change be approved. This would be consistent with the zoning of adjacent properties. Mayor Gilb declared the hearing open and no one desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously. It was MOVED by Councilwoman Lauber, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried on roll call vote as follows that Council determine the zone change would not have a substantial adverse impact on the environment and that the recommendation in Resolution No. 917 be APPROVED. AYES: NOES: AllSENT: Council Members Lauber, Saelid, Helms, Scott, Gilb None None Planning Commission Resolution No. 918 recommending a prezoning desig- nation of R-l for Annexation No. 44 (Mayflower area). It was noted that pre zoning is required by the Local Agency Formation Commission prior to the annexation hearing before that body and the recommended zoning would bring the area into consistency with the General Plan~ Discussion held on problems which could be incurred by annexing properties which would be non-conforming under the City Code but not under the County Code. Council would like a staff study on this and a motion was later made concerning this. Mayor Gilb declared the hearing open and no one desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilwoman Lauber, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried unanimously. It was then MOVED by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows that Council determines this designation would not have an adverse effect on the environment and that the recommendation in Resolution No. 918 be APPROVED. AYES: NOES: ABSENT : Council Members Lauber, Saelid, Helms, Scott, Gilb None None It waS then MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried unanimously that staff include within its study and report a provision with respect to properties annexed to the City in a non- conforming status.

No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously.

Foothill Boulevard) subject to specified conditions outlined in the staff report with the following modification: "5. That the carport on proposed Lot 4 shall comply with the Code or be replaced with parking facilities which do comply." The Planning Director explained that the carport as proposed goes beyond the property and is located partially on the subject property and on property owned by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. Council considered many ramifications of this subdivision to which the developer, Gordon Maddock,explained his efforts to acquire property which now appears to be landlocked.

Council felt this new design was a vast improvement over an original tentative map for the subject property and it was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows that Council determines this development would not have a sub- stantial effect on the environment and that the tentative map of this tract be APPROVED subject to all specified conditions.

The City Clerk asked for a Council decision as to the responsibility for payment of the printing, handling and mailing of the Candidate's Qualification Statement in connection with the forthcoming General Municipal Election to be held April 13, 1976.
