AGENDA ORDER Discussion of the Orange
LEAGUE OF CITIES BUDGET County Division, League
POSTPONED TO EVENING AGENDA of Cities Budget was post-
poned until the arrival
of Councilman Bricken, on the unanimously carried 5:0 motion of
Councilman Yamamoto, seconded by Councilman Garthe.
Prior to the above motion, Councilman Brandt stated that it
seems to be the feeling of League representatives that the
three cent per capita assessment is excessive, and that it was,
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 145 MAY 2, 1977
in fact, voted down at the last League meeting; that some com-
promise might be worked out (i.e. 2-1/8¢, 2-1/4¢) to give the
Director of the Orange County Division a reasonable cost of
living increase, but that there does not seem to be a need for
a full time Director.
Councilman Garthe suggested that the Division designate the items
that could be cut or reduced to trim the budget to 2-1/2¢ or less.
Councilman Brandt's motion, seconded by Councilman Ward, to approve
the budget based on an assessment of 2¢ per capita, with instruc-
tions that a reasonable cost of living and expense reimbursement
increase for the Executive Director would be entertained by this
Council, failed on a 3:2 vote, with Councilmen Garthe and Ortiz
dissenting.
Councilman Garthe's motion that the Council approve an assessment
not to exceed 2-1/2¢ per capita, failed for lack of a second.

AGENDA ORDER - BAKER SQUARE A letter received from
Rowena Macias, represent-
ing the "No on Baker
Square" Committee (Santa
Ana Sponsoring Committee), requested that Item #80 on the Coun-
cil Agenda be considered before the scheduled public hearings
because of the number of people in attendance on the matter. The
request was granted by the motion of Councilman Bricken, seconded
by Councilman Ortiz, and carried 6:0 unanimously.
BAKER SQUARE - VA 76-57 City Attorney Keith Gow
STAFF REPORT reported to the Council
REFERRED FOR PUBLIC HEARING and the audience that he
is satisfied that the
factual determinations made in connection with the Council
approval of Variance Application No. 76-57 for the Baker Square
Development at its meeting of March 21, 1977 adequately support
the findings made by the Council.
Several speakers appeared to request a reconsideration of the
approval of the Variance; they were:
Jose Robles, 708 West Second Street
Mike Andrade, 1042 North Logan Street
Ruby Epps, 626 North Jackson Street
Rowena Macias, 1243 West Sixth Street
Ed Schmidt, 1402 West Seventh Street
Karon Singleton, 804 North Louise
D. R. Hench, 804 North Louise Street
Herculano Ortiz, Jr. 812 North Louise Street
Jess J. Araujo, Attorney at Law, 1140 West Santa Aha Blvd.
In addition to a request for reconsideration the speakers stated
that they were not notified of the hearing on the Variance
application; that the Planning Commission Finding of Fact does
not comply with Municipal Code Sections 41-638(2) and 41-639;
that a rehearing is the most sensible way to resolve the problem
between the Baker Square neighborhood and the City; that the
General Plan specifies High Density Residential for the area,
but that it is zoned Ri, R2, and R3H; that there is a discrepancy
between the General Plan and the current zoning; that the
variance procedure is being used to bring the area into con-
formity with the General Plan; that the use of variances is
intended for use in extraordinary circumstances; that the com-
munity should be given a stronger voice and an opportunity to
better respond to such changes; that the City is requested to
clarify its intention to use the granting of variances to change
the character of the neighborhood; that residents are still
concerned about lack of sufficient parking and overcrowding of
schools; and that there is concern that the apartments will rent
to low income families, increasing problems of maintenance and
vandalism.
Lester Day, 9215 Paso Robles, Northridge, stated that the apart-
ments are not subsidized, but are market rate; that the builder
has made a great effort to provide parking, proper ingress and
egress and safety factors.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
148 MAY 2, 1977
Attorney Araujo asked for a copy of the plans that have been
submitted to the City; he was advised by City Staff that the
plans are available to him and that every effort will be
made to answer any questions he might have concerning the property
and its development.
Planning Director Charles Zimmerman stated that the project is
not low-income; that there will be 90 units on 3.2 acres of a
density of 28.1 units per acre; that the General Plan designation
allows 40 units per acre; and that the variance procedure allows
the City to review more closely the development plans for the
property; that 1-1/2 spaces for each dwelling unit are provided
for parking; and that it is anticipated that the building permit
will be issued the latter part of the week ending May 6.
In answer to the question from Council, City Attorney Keith Gow
responded that a reconsideration can be made at the same meeting
as the original decision or at the following meeting; that Roberts
Rules of Order are the rules of procedure that the Council has
adopted; that Council may only reconsider the matter if it suspends
its rules.
Councilman Bricken's motion, seconded by Councilman Ortiz, to
suspend the rules of procedure pertaining to reconsideration
failed to carry on a 3:3 vote, with Councilmen Brandt, Garthe
and Vice Mayor Ward dissenting.
On the unanimously approved 6:0 motion of Councilman Bricken,
seconded by Vice Mayor Ward, the Planning Department was in-
structed to set a public hearing by the Planning Commission for
