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.
