ing opportunity to present complaints about rent increases
at Stoneridge Mobile Home Park, and the response dated Octo-
ber 31, 1978 from the Stoneridge Mobile Home Park Owner J.
B. Lawrence commenting on the residents' complaints, and after
hearing the remarks of the following speakers, Council referred
the requests, considerations and deliberations regarding this
matter to the Housing Advisory Commission for recommendation
to Council on December 18, on the unanimously carried motion
of Councilman Bricken, seconded by Councilman Yamamoto.

David Tanner, 723 Stoneridge Drive
Rhona Carter, Continental Mobile Manor, ~220 Nise Drive
Ruth Carr, 1616 S. Euclid, Anaheim
Earl Lane, Golden State Mobile Homeowners League Director,
760-125 West Lomita, Harbor City
Some of the points brought out by the speakers were that mobile
home owners chose their way of life because it is easier and
less expensive; that rental rates were low to start, but that
they are rising beyond the ability of those on limited budgets
and fixed incomes to continue to pay; that disabled and retired
people can't make it; that the escalation of rates is continu-
ous, but is only one of many problems; that Proposition 13
did not help mobile home owners; that the Council consider
forming a committee of knowledgeable people to examine the
problems and recommend solutions; that 6,000 people live in
36 parks in Santa Aha; that in the last 3 to $ years rents have
doubled; that many mobile home owners would prefer to own
their own land rather than pay escalating space rents and
comply with the many restrictions of the parks; that the City
could provide land to be zoned and used for mobile home lots.
Mr. Lane added that there are 196,000 members of the Mobile
Home Owners League and that 50,000 letters have been sent to
members asking support for legislative action; that the City
could write letters to mobile home park owners asking for
voluntary stabilization of space rents; and that the League
is sponsoring a rent relief initiative for 1980.
There were no speakers representing mobile home park owners.
Council members generally concurred that relief for mobile
home parks residents is needed, and asked Staff to work with
the Housing Advisory Commission to investigate the problems
and make appropriate recommendations to Council. CA 16

BUS SHELTER PROGRAM Council continued for
PROJECT 2047 PROPOSAL EVALUATION ninety days (to the first
CONTINUED FOR 90 DAYS Council meeting in Febru-
ary, 1979) consideration
of the offers for bus shelters received in response to invita-
tion for proposals from private advertising companies, authorized
by Council on June 5, 1978, on the motion of Councilman Yama-
moro, seconded by Councilman Brandt, carried 6:0 unanimously.
Councilman Brandt suggested that the City Attorney be instructed
to draft a franchise-type agreement to protect the City's
interests with regard to placing bus shelters in the public
right of way prior to consideration of the matter in February.
The report dated October 11, 1978 prepared by Traffic and
Transportation Engineer Joe Foust analyzed the four proposals
which were received.
Prior to the Council meeting the Council received a letter
dated October 31, 1978, from Rodolfo Montejano representing
Convenience & Safety Corp. of Orange County, requesting the
Council to postpone its decision for bus shelters for 90 days.
Mr. Montejano's letter stated that Mayor John Seymour and the
Anaheim City Council had directed their City Planning staff
to draw up specifications for a new transit shelter design
to best meet the convenience and safety needs of the local
public; and that three shelter designs will be specified:
1) A large capacity shelter for key transfer points;
2) A suburban shelter for unrestricted sidewalks; and
3) An urban shelter for restricted, downtown sidewalks.

PROPOSED ORDINANCE & TESTING
PROGRAM FOR MASONRY BUILDINGS
FORMATION OF COMMITTEE APPROVED;
STAFF INSTRUCTED TO DEVELOP
REHABILITATION CODE
Formation of a citizens
committee, consisting of
qualified structural
engineers, was authorized
to evaluate the validity
of test criteria and results
incorporated in an ordinance proposed to reduce earthquake
hazard in existing unreinforced masonry buildings, and to
further consider the whole question of rehabilitation of
buildings in Santa Ana, subject to the approval of the Com-
munity Redevelopment Commission, and with the request that
the Commission recommend names of suitable appointees to the
new Committee, on the unanimously carried 6:0 motion of Coun-
cilman Garthe, seconded by Councilman Ward.
In addition, Staff was instructed to begin work on a comprehen-
sive Rehabilitation Code for Santa Ana buildings, on Councilman
Bricken's unanimously carried 6:0 motion, seconded by Council-
man Ward.
Prior to the motions, Bob Clayton, Rehabilitation Specialist,
stated that the City of Los Angeles ordinance could serve as
a boilerplate to draft an ordinance for Santa Ana to establish
minimum standards for structural seismic resistance of existing
unreinforced masonry buildings to reduce earthquake damage;
and that the Los Angeles materials and the advice of a consult-
ant could aid the Committee in developing a proposed ordinance.
Councilman Ward pointed out the difficulty of establishing a
volunteer committee made up of civil and structural engineers
qualified to consider a highly technical subject. Councilman
Bricken suggested that building rehabilitation be considered
on a scale broader than specifically seismic safety, with the
objective of improving the economic feasibility of building
rehabilitation. CA 87

SO. CALIF. WATER COMPANY Council approved the
REQUEST FOR INTERCONNECTIONS request of the Southern
CONDITIONALLY GRANTED California Water Company
(SCWC) for emergency
interconnections at First and Mountain View Streets and on
Hazard between Euclid and Rosita, to serve new Tracts 10251,
10284 and 10331, subject to a negotiated agreement with the
water company to provide additional water required, on the
unanimously carried 6:0 motion of Councilman Ward, seconded
by Councilman Bricken.
A prior motion by Councilman Ward, seconded by Councilman
Brandt, to deny the request of SCWC for emergency inter¢on-
nections and authorize the Public Works Department to furnish
water to the three tracts, as recommended in the report dated
October 24, 1978, prepared by Senior Civil Engineer Walt
Schraub was withdrawn.
Charles Stuart, Vice President of SCWC, stated that the City
has considered the possibility of acquiring the SCWC system
for many years; that if the interconnection request is not
granted that SCWCwill be forced to install parallel facilities;
that it would be proper for the City to authorize interconnec-
tions which would be beneficial to the City if it chooses to
acquire the system.
Joe Barbot, Heritage Development, stated that his company has
been processing development of Tract 10251 for 1½ years and
wants to complete the development. He requested that Final
Tract Map 10251 be approved regardless of the action taken
on the SCWC request.
Robert Flynn, Marinacci Lindborg, Tracts 10284 and 10331,
stated that his company has already posted the required bonds
and installed trenches, pipes, hydrants and foundations for
Tract 10284 and will be ready for building permits in three
weeks. He wishes to avoid any delay in his development.
Mr. Schraub stated that SCWC does not have the capability to
supply the required S,000 gallons per minute required by the
Fire Code. Assistant City Engineer Robert Eichblatt stated
that the City must agree to allow 6" interconnections to be
upgraded to 10" to provide the emergency water service required
Mr. Stuart suggested that Council authorize the emergency inter-
connections, state the City's intent to buy the system, and
authorize Staff to enter into negotiations with SCWC for acquisi-
tion of the system, including the interconnections. CA 12

sale of beer and wine is necessary to preserve the applicant's
livlihood; that the restaurant contains approximately 1,200

space and 600 for service, with no bar; that the subject
location is surrounded by commercial activity; and that

Joseph Genovese, Attorney representing Lucio and Emilia

provided a good Mexican restaurant; that they have no intention
of staying open past 9:00 P.M.; and thaf the family intends
to run a reputable establishment.
Joe Montoya, 231 East Walnut, also spoke in favor of the
Minor Exception, stating that the restaurant serves good
food; that there is no bar; that consumption of beer with
food generally presents no problems; and that the Quantero's
are a fine family and sincerely mean to run the restaurant in
an orderly fashion.
There were no other proponents and no opponents; the Acting
Clerk of the Council reported there were no written communica-
tions; and the Mayor closed the Public Hearing.

Council received and filed the report prepared by Administra-

which addressed the objections of area residents to the use
of the park for soccer. The report concluded that the major
problems at MacArthur Park have been either corrected or are
in process of being resolved. CA S2
APPEAL NO. 396, A.A. NO. 804 Mayor Evans announced that

DENIED APPEAL this matter; he did not
participate in its con-
sideration because of a conflict of interest; and he left the
Chambers at this time and did not return to the meeting.
Vice Mayor Ward opened the Public Hearing of Negative Declara-
tion and Appeal No. S96 of the denial of Amendment Application
No. 804 to rezone property located on the northwest corner of
Euclid Street and McFadden Avenue from the Ri (Single Family
Residence) District to the C5 (Arterial Commercial) District.
Planning Director Charles Zimmerman, using display maps and
slide projection, described the land use in the area, and
at the proposed site, which is now occupied by a vacant ser-
vice station; he summarized the information contained in the
Planning Department report dated October 6, 1978, stating that
neighboring uses are primarily low density residential in
accordance with the General Plan. He said that the Catholic
Church at the southwest corner of Euclid and McFadden had
objected to a previous request for variance for a Seven-Eleven
store at 629 South Euclid Street, and that it was denied by
the Planning Commission and appeal denied by Council; that two
variances and a conditional use permit had been approved in the
area for residential uses in 1976, 1977 and 1978; that the Com-
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 458 NOVEMBER 6, 1978
mission recommends denial of the Amendment Application because
the proposed C5 zoning would not be in the best interests of
the neighborhood, would be poor land use, and would be in
conflict with the General Plan.
Owen M. Powell, Diversified Properties, Inc., 4500 Campus
Drive, Newport Beach, stated that he had sought the advice
of the Planning Department Staff as to a reasonable use for
the property; that Staff had expressed the opinion that the
best use would be a neighborhood convenience commercial center;
that he asked the procedure for implementation of this sugges-
tion and was told to seek a zone change to C5; that he applied
for the zone change, and was unaware of any potential opposi-
tion; that he subsequently became aware of objections of the
Church and condominium residents at the Planning Commission
meeting; that when Father Bowers expressed concern about the
sale of liquor, porno magazines, and adult activities, he (Mr.
Powell) had discussed with Deputy City Attorney Richard Lay
a declaration that would specifically prohibit these activities,
and was told by Mr. Lay that there was no legal precedent nor
any legal impediment for such a declaration; that a draft was
drawn up which he would be willing to accept as a condition of
use and record; that in his opinion the properties at the
intersection are not suitable for single family development;
that Staff has asserted that the proposed zoning is compatible
with good land use principles; that the closed service station
detracts from the neighborhood; that a commercial development
would serve the residents and remove an eyesore.
Opponent speakers were Terry Oxenham, 615 South Euclid, Presi-
dent of the Homeowners Association for the condominium at the
northeast corner of Euclid and McFadden; Jack McGervey, 615
South Euclid, presented a petition which he stated contained
138 signatures of neighbors in the immediate area requesting
denial of the proposed zone change; and Molly Walsh, 615 South
Euclid,
The opponents stated that the proposed zoning would be "spot
zoning" and detrimental to the neighborhood; that Mr. Powell
was unable to assure residents of the type of tenants that
would be in the building; that C5 zoning includes a multitude
of permitted uses; that five new homes are being built and
that there is a need for more; that the traffic is already
heavy and dangerous for pedestrians; and that no more business
is needed in this location.
In rebuttal, Mr. Powell stated that he could cite examples of
these two land uses existing in harmony together; that he is
proposing a 5,000 square foot building which would be a mini
shopping center; that although he could not specifically know
in advance the nature of each business, desirable tenants
would be sought and conditions imposed.

mendation to Council.

ORAL cOMMuNICATION Victor Twadell, 3734 South
VIC TWADELL Towner, commenting on a
MAC ARTHUR PARK report which was received
and filed earlier in the
evening meeting, stated that use of MacArthur Park for soccer
should be limited; that there is no area available for other
use when soccer is being played; that the turf is not the type
to withstand heavy use; that soccer games are now being played
in mud; that he hates to see the Park go down the tubes; that
portable restrooms don't provide adequate facilities; that on
September 18 there were eight broken sprinkler heads; that low
maintenance ground cover is needed in a buffer area; that the
alleyway is not being maintained at all; that he is not
anti-soccer, but rather anti-destruction of the Park.'
Council informed Mr. Twadell that the matter is expected to
come back for further consideration on November 20, and that
hopefully solutions to the problems can be found; they thanked
Mr. Twadell for his comments, and invited him to attend the
