Planning Director Charles Zimmerman stated that a portion of the 11.8 acres approved in Tract Map 9519 for 58 single family residential lots, was zoned R2 and that a condition of the approval of the Tract Map was that the-Applicant apply for a zone change of the R2 portion; that in conformance with that condition the subdivider has filed this Amendment Applica- tion; and that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the application following a public hearing held on December 15, 1976. There were no proponents or opponents; Mayor Garthe closed the public hearing. On the unanimously carried 6:0 motion of Councilman Ward, seconded by Councilman Evans, the Negative Declaration was approved and filed, and the following ordinance was placed on first reading: ORDINANCE NO. NS-1544 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING AMENDMENT APPLICATION NO. 754 FILED BY GRACE ALBERTS REZONING PROPERTY FROM THE R2 (MILTIPLB-FAMILY RESIDENCE) DISTRICT TO THE R1 (SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE) DISTRICT, AND AMENDING SECTIONAL DISTRICT MAP 7-5-9. CA 10 PUBLIC HEARING - E.I.R. NO. 76-9 Mayor Garthe announced AMENDMENT TO GENERAL PLAN that this was the time CONTINUED and place for the public hearing of the Environ- mental Impact Report and Amendment to the Land Use and Open Space Elements of the General Plan to delete 20.4 acres on the south side of Segerstrom Avenue, approximately 400 feet east of Bristol from the Open Space Element and redesignate as Low Density Residential. Prior to any discussion of this matter, at 9:55 P.M., Council- man Bricken excused himself from the meeting, stating that his firm had participated in the preparation of the subject Environmental Impact Report, and that this may constitute a conflict of interest. The Planning Director stated that the property was to be a school site; that it had been declared surplus and was sub- sequently purchased by the William Lyon Company for possible RI single family housing development. Proponent Mr. Gary Frye, representing the William Lyon Company, 5211 Highland Avenue, Yorba Linda, stated that the Company proposed to build moderate priced housing on the property. He assured Councilman Ward that the Lyon Company would follow all the mitigating measures recommended in-the EIR. Proponent Hugh Foreman, Civil Engineer on the project, agreed that areas of potential incompatibility between adjacent uses (apartments and commercial area) and the proposed single family development would be mitigated and that single family low density residential is the highest and best use for the property. Mr. Frye stated that potential buyers of the homes would be given a disclaimer so that at the time of purchase they are aware of possible problems. There were no further proponents or opponents, and the Mayor closed the public hearing. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 14 JANUARY 3, 1977
