OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

present: Wade Herrin, Vernon S. Evans, J. Ogden MarkeL Jerry M.

MINUTES It was moved by Councilman Herrin,
seconded by Councilman Evans and
unanimously carried, to approve the
Minutes of the Regular Meeting of April 6, 1970, the Adjourned Regular Meeting
of April 9, 1970~ and the Adjourned Regular Meeting of April 13, 1970, with a
correction suggested by Councilman Villa in the April 6 Minutes regarding the
Federal Rent Supplement Program, in the second sentence of the first paragraph
on Page 86, to read as follows: "He read aloud a letter dated March 17, 1970,
addressed to the Senior Planner, from Robert. Hirsch, which stated:
'iRe: 808 North Harbor Boulevard
Harbor Park Apartments
Dear' Mr. Zimmerman:
I have just been informed about the action taken last evening
in rescindiFg the earlier rent supplement r.~sotu~ion granted
us for two locations within the City of Sanla Aha The facts
of my presentation at an executive meeting of the City Council
on January 19th seemed to have been grossly disloried by the
citizen group last evening.
For lhe record again, we asked for the rent supplement resolu-
tion by the City for two specific locations we have in escrow
since October. The passage on February 17ih allowed these two
sites for participation in the Federal Rent Supplemeni Program.
We could then accept as occupanls of apar~,ments lo be built at
either site "qualified low income families who are elderly,
handicapped, displaced, victims of natural disaster or occupants
of substandard housing",
The 17th and Fairview site was already zoned R-4 and we made
application for an FHA insured mortgage under Section 221(d) (3}
~. ~ior citizen rent supplement. FHA has very little of these
funds to place under this program and we were hopeful of
obtaining FHA fc. uds by the summer. With respect to the Harbor
and Hazard location which is presently zoned C-4, we were not
even in a position to submit this until we knew apartments
CITY COUNCIL

MINUTES (continued)
would be granted within this C-4 zone. Our plan consisted of a
family type apartment project in which the smaller units (one
and two bedrooms) would still be eligible under the Federal Rent
Supplement Program for senior citizens. This development is not
being designed expressly for senior citizens and now, as a result
of last evenings unfortunate misstatements, which I did have a
chance to rebut, we will not have rent supplement help available
for senior citizens at this location either.
With regard to the Harbor and Hazard property, we are still
interested in pursuing this for a family type apartment project
even without the rent supplement help for potential senior citizen
tenants.
Our request, therefore, at the April 13th hearing before the
planning co~ission is a variance to allow a planned garden
apartment complex in a C-4 zone.
I personally regret the actions of some individuals before your
City Council last night, and trust my comments have helped to
clarify what our plans had been.
I now will have to cancel the escrow at 17th and Fairview be-
cause of the lack of rent supplement help for the 120 one bed-
room apartments we proposed for that 4 plus acre site.
EXECUTIVE SESSION At 2:10 P.M., the City Council adjourned
to Executive Session for approximately
one hour for consideration of appointments
to the Civic Center Commission for replacement of Thomas F. Larsen, who

announcement of appointments for both the Civic Center Co~mission and the
Human Relations Commission would be made at the May 4 Council meeting.

1R Schildrneyer, proposing amend-
Sectional District Map 6-5-9, to prezone from the A 1 District to
District property located on the south side of Fairhaven Avenue
Grand Avenue and Glassell Avenue.
,~i Bueche, 1971 S~ Ritchey Street, representing the applicant, spoke ]n
~ of tl~e amendment application Mr. Bueche expressed the opinion that
~. are certain safeguards built in R 4 zoning that would protect the iR 1 uses;
he did not be]./eve tt 4 zoning would be detrimental to R 1 zoning because
rl..;, resirict/ont~ placed on tt 4 which make it compatible with R 1; that there
s(/veral aparlment projects in the area; that because of the orientation of
?articular piece of property to Glassell, Fairhaven, and Orange, it
~?,ould be zoned R 4; and that he felt R 4 zoning would enhance the northeast
of lhe C~ty and would be in keeping with the land use of lhe area
persons spoke in opposition to the amendment applic at,on:
James Noe, Jr., 2440 N. Grand, who read a letter written by
bis father, of the same address, who is out of town, objecting
to the amendment application, citing adjacent properties are
zoned R 1, that Old Grand cannot handle increased traffic; that
it would set a precedent for apartment zoning requests on the
remainder of the surrounding undeveloped property, and that
it is the only area left in the City for R-1 development.
John Leahy, 2640 N. Linwood, who stated that the adjoining
property owners had presented a petition containing approximately
200 signatures to the Planning Commission objecting to the
R 4 zoning; that the R 4 has saturated the area, and that it would
create a traffic problem.
Judith Zander, 2611 Linwood Avenue, who displayed maps of
the area showing present use of the land and stated that the
proposed rezoning would set a precedent of R-4 zoning for
remaining parcels.
Gary Woods, 1413 E Keegan Way, who stated that the area had
reached the saturation point in apartments constructed or under
cons}ruction.
Jerry Kress, 1420 E. KeeganWay, who spoke on the overcrowd-
ing of the scbools which R 4 would bring about.
William Stillway, 1402 E. Keegan Way, who spoke on the traffic
problem that would be created by R 4 zoning in the area
In rebuttal~ Mr. Bueche stated that statistics show 3 (;hildren per
mit per apartment per net acre composed to 1.2 in R-1 zoning; that
~he prezoning revolves only 8 acres which in no way commits the City
~o similar zoning of neighboring properties; snd that traffic: may be
~.~u]att:d by various methods that are available to the City when the
development plans are submitted.

to the south was a chicken ranch, another stable was southeast
of the property, and to the east was Mr. Peterson's property;

Jack Lightfoot, 202 S. Newhope, the applicant for the conditional use
