It was moved by Councilman Yamamoto, seconded by Councilman Villa and
unanimously carried, to hold the matter over to the evening meeting since
it was expected that there woald be people present at the evening session to
speak on the matter. Councilman Herrin stated that there were people
present this afternoon to speak to the point and expressed the opinion that
they should be heard, since the matter was on the afternoon Agenda.
John O'Farrell, 802 N. Morse Drive, explained to the Council that the
west side property owners had formed a formal organization, with Kevin
O'Mahony as President, and they expected to have a large group at the
evening meeting when Mr. O'Mahony would speak. Reinaldo Valenzuela,
President of the Santa Anita Improvement Association, stated that his
group woald also like to have the matter discussed at the evening session.
Councilman Villa expressed the opinion that this was a very important issue
and that the action taken at the last Council meeting would have far reaching
repercussions.
It was moved by Councilman Herrin, seconded by Councilman Evans, to
rescind the action to hold the matter over to the evening meeting and take

A motion was made by Councilman Herrin, seconded by Councilman Evans,
to adopt RESOLUTION 70-33 RESCINDING RESOLUTION 70-9 APPROVING
PARTICIPATION BY LOCAL HOUSING OWNERS IN TIlE FEDERAL KENT
SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM.
CITY COUNCIL
- 85 - April 6, 1970
FEDERAL RENT SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM (continued)
The matter was discussed at length by Council. Councilman Villa stated
that the Council's action in re s cinding Resolution 70-9 would be implying
that the Council was against low rent housing, urban renewal and dis-
advantaged minorities, He read aloud a letter dated March 17,1970,
addressed to the Senior Planner, from Robert Hirsch, who had requested
the adoption of the resolution by the City Council approving participation
by local housing owners in the Federal Rent Supplement Program, in
regard to the Council's action of March 16, 1970, rescinding the resolu-
tion. Councilman Villa expressed the desire to have a full hearing on
the matter so that everyone could be heard, including bankers, savings
and loan company representatives, and title company representatives.
Mayor Griset stated that he was definitely in favor of Iow rent housing
in this cit~y, but that Mr. Hirsch had specifically stated that his project
would be for the elderly and had then filed for a variance for apartments
most of which would be three and four bedroom apartments. The Mayor
stated that the Council had to be very sure of what they are doing in this
area so that when it does go forward with such a program, the projects
will be the kind we want in our city and will be of benefit to our senior
citizens and the low income group; and he further stated his position
as not being opposed to rent supplement programs now or in the future
as far as Santa Aha is concerned.
Councilman Patterson expressed the opinion that the issue is whether
the Council feels rent subsidized programs should be favored in the
city or whether this particular program should be favored in the city;
and he felt the majority of the Council would favor the rent supplement
program. He suggested that Resolution 70-9, which sets out two speci-
fic locations, be rescinded and a resolution be adopted that does not
specify locations. In regard to the adoption of Resolution 70-9,
Councilman Patterson felt that a representation had been made to the
Council that the project would be for the elderly only; and he thought
that we should favor the program for all the groups defined by the
government,
Councilman Markel expressed his opinion that the matter would
really be confusing if the Council considered adoption of another
r e solution.
Councilman Evans objected to Mr. Villa's statements that the Council
as a group is against low rent housing, and expressed his opinion that
the Council's action was based on the fact that Mr. t-tirsch misled the
Council. Councilman Evans stated he thought that persons wanting to
build these apartments should bring the proposal to the Council on an
individual location basis with the proper plans so that Council could
evaluate; but he did not want to adopt a resolution that does not specify
locations.
Councilman Yamamoto stated that he concurred with Councilman
Patterson's statements. Councilman Villa suggested that perhaps
Council could adopt an open housing resolution. Councilman Herrin
stated his opposition to our city accepting federal funds.
CITY COUNCIL

FEDERAL RENT SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM (continued)
Councilman Patterson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Villa, to
amend Councilman Herrin's motion to adopt Re solution 70- 33, to modify
Resolution 70-9 by the deletion of the third paragraph regarding the two
specific locations which are attached as Exhibits "A" and "B", and the
deletion of the words, "in locations identified on attached Exhibits "A"
and "B" in the fourth paragraph.
Councilman Evans said he would prefer this to be in a form that the
Council could all read and go over.
It was then moved by Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman
Villa, to table the entire matter, the original motion and the amended
motion, until a specific re solution can be prepared, which motion
failed adoption on the following roll call vote:
AYES:
NOES:
ABSENT:
Evans Patterson, Villa
Herrin, Markel, Yamamoto, Griset

Councilman Patterson then read aloud Resolution 70-9 as it would be
modified by his amended motion, which deleted alt reference to
specific locations for low income housing and would permit such
development at any properly zoned location within the City.
After further discussion by Council, it was moved by Councilman Villa,
seconded by Councilman Herrin, to open the discussion to the floor so
that the people present in regard to the matter could be heard, which
motion was adopted on the following roll call vote:

The Mayor recognized the following persons, who spoke in opposition
to the Federal Rent Supplement Program:
John O'Farrell, 802 N. Morse Drive, representing west side
property owners, stating they felt they should have had a chance
to be heard on the matter before Resolution 70-9 was adopted,
and that if a blanket location resolution were to be adopted,
they would like to discuss it before Council acted;
Robert Fair, 1425 Standard, speaking for the Orange County
Apartment Association, who stated they were opposed to the
program as a whole, that is, Federal subsidizing;
Janice Boer, 912 N. Lowell, opposed to a blanket location
resolution;
Gene Duvall, Business Agent for Plumbers Union, who stated
that Iow rent housing would be low cost housing, poorly constructed;
CITY COUNCIL - 87 - April 6, 1970
FEDERAL RENT SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM (continued)
Robert Levin, 815 N. Harbor, who stated it would not be fair for
the people who have invested in business property on Harbor Boule-
vard, that the schools would be overloaded, and that the matter
should be given to a special committee for study;
Mrs. Hendricks, 4701 Oakfield, who expressed the opinion that
it would be better to put in a shopping center in the area, that the
apartment development would overload the schools and the
neighborhood;
L. L. Barnett, owner of business property in the area, who
stated the area should stay commercially zoned;
Reinaldo Valenzuela, representing Santa Anita Improvement
Association, stating the neighborhood needed to be upgraded,
that they wanted to improve the area, and that more people would
bring in more problems.
Frank Benjamin, FHA representative, explained that FHA would not
bring in substandard housing and that any housing would have to be
built according to the City's building codes and that this would upgrade
the neighborhood.
Councilman Patterson moved to make a second amendment to his
amended motion, seconded by Councilman Villa, to add to the amended
motion that any developer of property who intends to avail himself of
Section 101 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965 shall
be required to notify the City Council of the City of Santa Aha of his
intentions. The second amendment to the amended motion was passed,
on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Evans, Patterson, Villa, Yamamoto, Griset
NOES: Herrin, Markel
ABSENT: None
The first amendment to the original motion, to modify Resolution 70-9
as previously set out, was then voted on by Council and failed adoption
by the following roll call vote:

ABSENT: None
Since the first amendment failed to pass, the entire amendment failed

Finding of Fact dated January 26, 1970, and to include a restriction that
there will be no additional parking, no access from the outside, and no
exposed signs for the commercial building. Councilman Markel stated he
was opposed to the commercial aspect of this development, since it is on
the boundary line of a neighboring community, Costa Mesa, and would be
detrimental to that city, since it is all residentially zoned in the area.
In response to a question by Councilman Patterson, the City Manager
explained that our city does have a zone for mixed uses, the C R zone,
which is specifically set up for that purpose, and that there is C R zoning
along Bristol Street which would permit the mixed use on that street.
Councilman Herrin expressed the opinion that the commercial aspect in
the proposed development would be beneficial for the people living in the
development, and that if there is no additional parking to provide for
outside buyers, this would deter them from shopping there. Councilman
Villa stated that in view of the Attorney's opinion that granting one com-
mercial use by variance would affect the ability of the Planning Commis-
sion or City Council to deny commercial use on property similarly situated,
he would be against permitting the commercial building on this application.

PUBLIC HEARING ~ APPEAL 231 Hearing was opened on Appeal
VA 70-4, WARD & HARRINGTON No. 231, filed by Ward & Harring-
ton Lumber Company, appealing
Conditions 10 a, 10 b, 11 b, and 12 imposed on Variance Application 70-4,

mately 195 spaces at 4080 West First Street, approved by the Planning

CITY COUNCIL - 96- April 6, 1970
PUBLIC HEARING ON APPEAL NO. 231 OF VA 70-4 (continued)
Cecil Wright, 60 Plaza Square, Orange, Attorney for the appellant,
displayed a map of the property to Council and explained the surrounding
area. He stated that his client objected to the conditions imposed that
required a north - south street along the west property line from First
Street south approximately 700 feet; allowed only one driveway to First
Street; required street easement for the north - south street; and re-
quired providing a drainage easement along the westerly property line.
He expressed the opinion that because the adjoining 10 acres is owned
by the Garden Grove School District and is a landlocked parcel, they
are being asked to put in the street to solve the access for the school
district property; and he further stated that it would not benefit the
subject property. Mr. Wright stated that they would be solving the
drainage for the neighboring properties. He also stated that most
trailer parks do not have d~dicated streets through the park; that with
dedicated streets, the owner cannot control the traffic through the
park. Mr. Wright expressed the opinion that the conditions imposed
were unreasonable and served'to benefit the school district property.
I{. S. Harvey, 620 Vance Street, with Ward & Harrington Lumber
Company, and Howard Miller, with Contemporary Mobile Homes
Corporation, also spoke in favor of the appeal.
David McCalla, owner of adjoining property on /he west at the corner
of First and Harbor, spoke in opposition to the appeal. He felt that
access off of First Street to the proposed park would be impeded if it
were in the middle of the block rather than at an intersection, and that
the street along the side of the property would be favorable. Mrs.
McCalla stated that it is better to come out of a trailer park onto a
minor street rather than onto a main artery.
The hearing was closed.
After discussion by Council, it was moved by Councilman Patterson,
seconded by Councilman Villa, to deny the appeal, uphold the action of
the Planning Commission, and instruct the City Attorney to prepare a
resolution granting Variance 70-4 subject to conditions in Finding of
Fact dated February Z4, 1970. The motion was adopted on the following
roll call vote:
