Mr. Withers distributed a proposed ordinance to a~end the Zoning Code by re-defining the "0" Zone to apply to private, as well as publicly owned land. ORDINANCE NS-1191 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY "O"(OPBN SPACE LAND) ZONE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA PERTAINING TO OPEN SPACE LAND AND AMEND- ING DIVISION 23 OE CHAPTER 41 OF THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE was placed on first reading by title only and full reading was waived on the unanimously approved motion of Councilman Yamamoto, seconded by Councilman Garthe. (6 0 vote) The Planning Commission was instructed to review and consider the re-zoning of the Willowick Golf Course from R-1 (Single- family Residential) to the "O" Zone (Open Space Land) on the unanimously approved motion (6 0) of Councilman Garthe, seconded by Councilman Yamamoto. The City Manager asked if Council were interested in exploring the possibilities of a joint powers agreement with Garden Grove for the operation of Willowick Golf Course and to accomplish the other Santa Ana projects set forth in the agreement which Council considered in conjunction with the Willowick deannexation. Considerable discussion followed. It was pointed out that Willowick's problem was financial; that a majority of the Garden Grove Council desired to maintain it as open space; that a joint powers agreement would necessitate a capital investment by the City for the golf course operation and maintenance, but there are many options available and that contributions need not be equal. Councilman Evans stated that he was not interested in pursuing joint powers agreement and suggested that staff devote some priority to the park, drainage, and water system, and "bury" the rest. a Councilman Markel was also opposed to exploring a joint powers agreement. Councilman Ward favored exploring a joint powers agreement and other means with positively no commitment. Councilman Garthe stated his mind was open on the subject, and that he was interested in more information. Councilman Yamamoto and Mayor Patterson favored exploring the possibilities of a joint powers agreement. Staff was instructed to research the subject further and to report to Council the options for a joint powers or other agreements relative to Willowick and related projects by majority informal agreement.
