Planning Director Charles Zimmerman, taking excerpts from his report dated JulM 12, 1978, stated that the property address is 162S E. 18th Street; and that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the application on July 10, 1978 because the requested zoning is in substantial conformance with the adopted General Plan and the requested zoning will not be detrimental to existing or proposed uses in the general area. Mr. Bob Miller, 1809 N. Mabury, responded to the Mayor's request for comments, either pro or con, on the rezoning proposal. Mr. Miller stated that he was neither for nor against the proposed rezoning but would like to know what is going to be built on the property. Mayor Evans responded that, to date, a site plan for the property had not been filed. There were no other speakers, and Mayor Evans closed the hearing. Council approved and filed the Negative Declaration, placed the following ordinance on first reading and authorized publication of its title on the motion of Councilman Brandt, seconded by Councilman Garthe, and carried 6:1, with Councilman Bricken dissenting: ORDINANCE NO. 'NS-1442 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING AMENDMENT APPLICATION NO. 798 TO REZONE PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF EIGHTEENTH STREET, BETWEEN MABURY AND WRIGHT STREETS, FROM THE RiB (SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE- PARKING SUFFIX) DISTRICT TO THE C5 (ARTERIAL COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT AND AMENDING SECTIONAL MAP NO. 5-5-9. CA 10 STRAY ANIMALS IN SOUTHWEST Mayor Evans recognized SANTA ANA Mr. Charles Mosley, 1133 STAFF DIRECTED South Spruce Street. Mr. Mosley had filed a petition signed by 65 residents, on behalf of the Corbin-Jerome Centers Advisory Board requesting an increase in Animal Control due to an excessive number of stray animals in southwest Santa Ana. Discussion on the petition had been continued from the July 11 Council meeting to this meeting at his request. Mr. Mosley stated that he had discussed the problem with various members of the City staff. He suggested that the City develop a community awareness program, with southwest Santa Aha as the pilot program area because many people there are willing to work with Staff to improve the stray animal condition. Ms. Judy Stricker, 3001 Royal Palm Drive, Costa Mesa, also spoke, agreeing with Mr. Mosley as to the seriousness and extent of the problem, particularly in parks where children play in the same areas with dog droppings. She stated that she had been involved in humane work for many years, and that the City's problem is one of the worst in Orange County; that at least two more people should be hired to deal with the animal control problem. Councilman Ward moved to direct Staff to prepare a concentrated program to solve the stray dog problem. Councilman Brandt seconded the motion, adding that the Animal Control Staff should consider the possibility of rescheduling its activities to include a "sweep" of an entire area after 9:00 P.M., if necessary. The mo- tion carried 5:2, with Councilman Ortiz and Mayor Evans dissent- ing. CA 95 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 336 AUGUST 7, 1978
