PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT - (Continued) <br /> <br />Mrs. Demetra Rosier, 2506 N. Linwood, asked if this new policy would <br />establish a precedent in regard to Amendment Applications on the agenda <br />and was assured it had no bearing on them whatsoever. <br /> <br />There were no further proponents or opponents in the matter, and the <br />Mayor closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />Councilman Evans asked if the private streets would create police, <br />maintenance, or traffic problems. The Planning Director stated that this <br />is one reason for requiring the private streets to conform to City standards; <br />that the Homewoners' Association would take the responsibility in these <br />matters, but the City could be called in if if became necessary. Councilman <br />Evans also asked if the City would be limited in maintaining street areas, <br />walkways and parkways in the event the Horaeowners' Association would be <br />unable to provide upkeep. The City Attorney stated that the City could <br />assist, but in his opinion the streets should be dedicated to the public and <br />maintained by the public. <br /> <br />Councilman Patterson stated he has been interested in a PRD zone for the City <br />for some time; that the ordinance is restrictive, with all protections, and <br />that density and height requirements would be maintained within the base district; <br />that he would like to refer the report to staff for further review and report; <br />that his only criticism is lack of limitation as to minimum size. <br /> <br />Mayor Griset stated he was in favor of the principle set out but is concerned <br />about density. <br /> <br />Councilman Markel asked if there has been an appraisal of this type of <br />development by lending institutions. The Mayor stated it could be assumed <br />that financial institutions would be interested in lending money on this type <br />of construction. In response to Councilman Markel's question, the City <br />Manager stated that ~he only undeveloped areas in the City available for <br />this development would be in south Santa Ana and across the river in the <br />westerly portion of the City. <br /> <br />Councilman Patterson's motion that the resolution of the Planning Commission <br />and the proposed ordinance be approved in principle, and referred to staff <br />for further refinement and report to Council, was seconded by Councilman <br />Evans, and carried on the following roll call vote: <br /> <br />AYES: <br />NOES: <br />ABSENT: <br /> <br />Patterson, Evans, <br />Markel <br />Yamamoto <br /> <br />Villa, PIerrin, Griset <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />-406 - <br /> <br />December 6, 1971 <br /> <br /> <br />
