REPORTS FROM MAYOR COONTZ
Tape 735
4.1 Update on Jail Issue.
Mayor Coontz gave the following report: Last week, Irvine and Lake Forest unveiled a proposed
settlement with the County Sheriff that would cap the number of minimum and medium security
inmates at the Musick Branch Jail. It sounds good in theory, but what about the maximum
security inmates? That was not addressed at all. For months, and maybe years, the message has
been that Orange County has a serious shortage of j ail beds and that the existing facilities could
not possibly meet the projected demand. That is the message we have been given. Last week,
Sheriff Carona took another look at the projections and changed his mind. Apparently, with the
new Musick proposal, the County will have enough jail beds to see us through a number of years
without adding maximum security jail beds. Will these facilities really be adequate or will we
face another jail debate in a few years? The proposed Settlement Agreement with Lake Forest
and Irvine still requires the Board of Supervisors to pursue a remote jail site.
There are many questions and issues that still need to be resolved. The ultimate decision lies in
the hands of the County Board of Supervisors. We are thankful that Supervisor Smith, Silva and
Coad are doing all they can to protect Orange from bearing the burden of an additional County
jail facility. There is a faint light at the end of the tunnel. Supervisor Smith has formed a
committee that will evaluate South County's Musick proposal and take a close look at the jail
overcrowding issue. The Committee is comprised of a retired judge, two local police chiefs, a

UCI professor, and two local city managers, including our own Dave Rudat. This is the first
time in the past six months that our City will have any real insight into what the South County
cities are proposing.
Last month this Council voted 4-1 to oppose Measure F. A majority of us believe that this
measure would encourage the siting of a second jail in our backyard if it passed with a yes vote.
With our City Manager at the table, among the other people who have been appointed by the
Supervisors, we hope to have solid information about the County jail siting issue to share with
you in the near future.

REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS
Tape 809
5.1 Councilman Slater - presentation of Resolution No. 9230. (OR1800.0.3.18.2)
Mayor Coontz noted a letter dated February 17, 2000 was received from Barbara deBoom,
President/CEO and Phyllis Cahill, Chairman of the Board, of the Orange Chamber of Commerce,
indicating that the members voted to support the reuse of EI Toro Marine Base as an
International Airport. The letter states that it is imperative to use this opportunity to ensure
future growth of businesses in Orange County and that economic growth will be greatly
enhanced by the addition of an international airport. Further, the letter states that the business
community must do everything in its power to assure EI Toro Airport is built.
Councilman Slater reported that at the February 8, 2000 Council meeting he indicated that
Supervisor Coad had asked all City Councils in her district, who had not officially voted to
support commercial reuse of EI Toro, to do so. He noted that although four Council members
have publicly stated their support for the airport many times as elected leaders in Orange, an
official stand should also be taken. Councilman Slater commented there is no doubt that this is
the largest land use decision to face Orange County. Orange citizens have voted twice to support
the airport by margins of 56% and 71 % respectively.
Speaking in opposition:
Carole Walters, (address on file)

February 22,2000
5. REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS (Continued)
COUNCIL COMMENTS:
Councilman Alvarez stated for the record his reasons for not supporting an airport at EI Toro.
When the City chose to join the Orange County Regional Airport Authority (OCRAA), it was to
be done on an informational basis. Had he realized it would lead to making motions in favor of
the airport, he would not have supported joining OCRAA. Councilman Alvarez referenced a
letter from the Airline Pilots Association International, that represents 55,000 pilots who fly for
more than 51 different airlines in the United States and Canada, who do not support the airport,
as they saw a lot of safety and common sense issues that have not been resolved. Councilman
Alvarez said that the proposed EI Toro Airport, with 24 hour flights, will increase the already
existing flight paths out of John Wayne over East Orange, indicating there are currently eleven
flights over East Orange between the hours of 11 :00 a.m. - noon; fourteen flights between 5:00
p.m. - 6:00 p.m.; twelve flights from 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.; and eleven flights from 9:00 p.m. to
10:00 p.m. The Allied Pilots Association (representing American Airline Pilots) submitted a
letter to the County objecting to the easterly and northerly departure path, stating the proposed
path at EI Toro Airport is completely unacceptable to the pilots, and they believe the County
forces proposing the plans are going against all common sense and safety. A letter from the
Western Pacific Regional Safety Chairman of the Airline Pilots Association again details issues
regarding the runway paths. The FAA was reported as saying the take-off patterns may have to
be changed. Councilman Alvarez commented it is hard to support something as a public policy
when it is unknown what the cost or impact will be. He will honor what the voters decide on
March 7"'.
Mayor pro tem Spurgeon referred to his past years of experience with an international airline. As
a general rule, pilot unions have not supported too many existing airports. The FAA will make
the final decision on whether the runways are safe or not. The Director of the FAA has
indicated, in general concept, that he favors an airport at EI Toro. However, a lot has to be
worked out in terms of which runways are used and under what conditions. Mayor pro tern
Spurgeon concluded that he is opposed to Measure F and supports an airport at E1 Toro, with no
increased traffic at John Wayne in the future.
Councilman Murphy commented on the need for an airport. He feels that Councilman Alvarez's
arguments against an airport at EI Toro, are in his opinion, arguments for EI Toro. Flight paths
over East Orange will increase if E1 Toro Airport is not built. It is time to step forward and
reconfirm Council's position with a resolution in support of the airport, with the belief that the
airport will ultimately be built with all the safety and environmental considerations in mind.
Councilman Slater commented that there have been many professional studies stating a need for
an additional airport in Orange County to meet future traffic needs. Ifthere is not an airport at EI
Toro, John Wayne would have to be greatly expanded. The departing flights from John Wayne
Airport are an e-ticket ride for noise mitigation measures. There should not be an expansion of
John Wayne or air traffic at John Wayne. For the future of the County, the future of business,
quality oflife, and economic health for the County, there needs to be an airport at EI Toro.

5. REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS (Continued)
Mayor Coontz expressed appreciation for the new information and opinions received from those
who spoke regarding the airport. The economic viability of Orange County will be severely
diminished ifthere is not an airport at EI Toro. Concern was also expressed with return flights to
John Wayne Airport. Mayor Coontz commented on the amount of public monies being spent in
the south counties to see that EI Toro does not go forward.

7.2. Report from the Director of Community & Library Services regarding the
formation of the Park, Planning and Development Commission" (OR1800.0.10)
SUMMARY: The Director of Community and Library Services is submitting a report regarding
the feasibility of the formation of a Park, Planning and Development Commission. The City
Council, at its meeting on January 25, 2000, requested staff to review ideas presented at that
meeting and report back on the proposed structure of the commission. The City Council recently
adopted the Master Plan of Park, Facilities and Community Services which identifies a severe
shortage in park acreage and identifies several policy recommendations which may be
appropriate for a City Commission to provide guidance for implementation.
The Director of Community and Library Services reported the proposed Commission would be
engendered by the City to pursue the direction of the Master Plan of Parks, work with staff in the
implementation of the process, and serve as advisory to the City Council on implementing the
Master Plan of Parks document. The Commission would be comprised of five members,
appointed by the Mayor, with input from the City Council and City Manager. The goals of the
Commission would be as follows:
. Implement park planning, design and development policies as outlined in the Master Plan
of Parks.
. Develop and implement strategies to solicit community and special interest groups'
regular input regarding acquisition, park and facility needs.
. Review park conceptual designs prior to development and receive public input.
. Review existing parks for possible renovation and use, with public input.
. Encourage and support relationships with volunteer and non-profit organizations
regarding parks, facilities and open space.

7. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS (Continued)
In response to Mayor pro tern Spurgeon, the Director of Community and Library Services
indicated more staff time would be needed to support the Commission.
Councilman Alvarez asked what the difference is between the Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Arts Commission which disbanded in 1996 and the proposed Park, Planning and Development
Commission? How does this Committee fit in with the proposed Rock Creek Park at Prospect
and Walnut and the Citizen's Committee that he and Councilman Slater are involved with on the
Sully Miller and R. J. Noble sites?
Mayor Coontz explained that at the time of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Commission,
the City did not have a Master Plan of Parks, goals and objectives, and there was not the
emphasis on sports activity or parks in general that there is today. The Community and Library
Services Director added that the City also lacked the development it currently has in park
development and renovation. Referring to Rock Creek Park, the new Commission would have
input on its development. The Commission would be involved if the City were to acquire any
land to be developed.
Carole Walters, (address on file), expressed concern with the Commission being political. The
City Attorney noted that the Commission would comply with the Brown Act.
Councilman Murphy commented the goals and objectives will carry forward the Master Plan of
Parks. The community will have the opportunity for input prior to recommendations coming
before Council, as Commission meetings will be publicly noticed.
Mayor pro tem Spurgeon expressed concern for the strain on staff, indicating he cannot support
the Commission.
Councilman Slater commented that he concurs with Mayor pro tern Spurgeon relative to the staff
time involved with a commission. However, the Commission will fill the need to implement the
Master Plan of Parks.

8. REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER (Continued)
Mayor pro tern Spurgeon expressed concern with the proposed policy language that the Orange
Progress "may contain other items which are of interest to the community", indicating the
language is too broad.
The City Manager explained that the intent of the recommended language is to be able to provide
information on upcoming City activities and programs.
Councilman Alvarez commented that he had raised the issue that the Orange Progress should
never have been sent out with a pro-airport insert at the taxpayers expense of $4,800.
Councilman Murphy asked if any additional postage was paid for the insertion in the Orange
Progress? The Director of Community and Library Services indicated that the Orange Progress
is sent out at bulk rate. There was no increase in postage for the subject issue.
Carole Walters, (address on file), commented on the misuse of the Orange Progress.
Bob Bennyhoff, 10642 Morada Drive, Orange Park Acres, expressed dissatisfaction with the pro-
airport insert and suggested Council avoid political advertising.
The City Attorney explained the brochure was paid for by the County. The County and South
County cities are spending enormous amounts of public monies to get their message out relative
to the airport. It is not against Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) regulations to spend
money to get messages out to the community on projects. Campaigning cannot be done on
initiatives such as Measure F. Since the airport is not an initiative, the County and South County
cities can spend monies. A primary reason for the insertion was to save taxpayer funds, i.e., save
mailing costs for the County. There had been no previous policy forbidding the use of the
Orange ProlP"ess for political purposes.
MOTION - Spurgeon
SECOND - Slater
AYES - Murphy, Slater, Mayor Coontz, Spurgeon, Alvarez
Moved to adopt the following policy: The Orange ProlP"ess shall not accept any tobacco,
alcohol, political, religious or sexually explicit advertisements. All advertisements must meet

13. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
COUNCIL COMMENTS:
Councilman Alvarez asked why school fees have been waived in the past. The Planning
Manager explained that in 1974, Serrano Heights (known as Peralta Hills at that time), was
owned by one of the oil companies. An agreement formed with the school district identified
three or four schools within the area and has guided the planning effort in providing for schools
coming forward. The project proposed in the late 1980's did not include a school site. At that
time, the City entered into a development agreement with a plan that did not provide for a school
site, which is the reason a school site is not currently proposed.
The City Attorney commented on litigation which recently concluded, wherein the school district
did try to impose a school mitigation fee. He explained that a statutory fee of a fixed amount can
be collected under State law. A super fee can be imposed if a study is done which justifies a fee
higher than the State statutory fee. In the 1974 exchange agreement referred to by the Planning
Manager, the courts found that the developers dedication of school sites complied with all school
mitigation measures that the developer was to comply with under State law. The developer
cannot be made to pay any school mitigation fees.
The City Manager commented that in reviewing documentation on Serrano Heights back to the
1980's, no requests for schools were made by the OUSD when they had the opportunity to do so.
The Planning Manager indicated that OUSD was closing and selling off school sites in the
1980's due to declining emollment.
The City Manager commented the City desires to help the school district facilitate the acquisition
of school sites or additional classrooms when it has the opportunity to do so. However, the City
is bound by the Development Agreement. During opportunities when the Development
Agreement could have been amended, even as recently as 1997, no requests were made by
OUSD.
Mayor Coontz commented that she and Councilman Murphy are Council appointees to the
Cities-Schools Coordinating Committee. The City is awaiting OUSD's study of fees, which
must be done by State law, in order for them to request additional monies. The City Manager
explained that the City expended monies to hire a consultant to review the district's study.
Before the study was complete, the law changed taking the responsibility from the City and
giving it back to the school district. The information was provided to OUSD. The City has
asked for, but has not yet received, reports relative to classroom counts and other information
they would provide to the State.

Time set for a public hearing on petition by Sun-Cal Companies to consider Zone Change 1203-
99 to modify regulations for residential development areas (DA) 2 and 4 in the Serrano Heights
Specific Plan; and Tentative Tract Maps 14550 and 15656 to allow the subdivision of 16.1

analysis was amended February 19, 1997.
The Planning Manager presented the report, noting a letter was received from the Mabury Ranch
Homeowners Association in support of the project. In response to Councilman Alvarez, the
Planning Manager indicated the park locations in each tract map are approximately 4,000 to
5,000 square feet. Each tract has an additional 4.4 acre neighborhood park.
THERE BEING NO SPEAKERS, MAYOR COONTZ CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.
COUNCIL COMMENTS:
Councilman Slater commented if this had to be done over again, he would probably look at it
differently in light of where the City is today. However, the proposed project is a big
improvement with the density reduction, sparing of the ridgelines, etc. He expressed support of
the project, although tentatively.
Councilman Alvarez commented on the importance of the City upholding its end of the
development agreement. However, he expressed opposition to the project as it does not mitigate
the problem with schools. Attention needs to be raised that parks and schools need to be better
planned for in the future.
Frank Elfend, Elfend and Associates, 18101 Von Karmen, Suite 1260, Irvine, clarified that the
proposal before Council is to reduce density on the project by over 400 units.
In response to Mayor Coontz, Mr. Elfend indicated the first application for the property was
submitted around 1974. Mayor Coontz commented on the importance of the extension of
Serrano at that time to connect with the Anaheim Hills Elementary School.
Mayor pro tern Spurgeon asked that Mr. Elfend do everything he can to work with OUSD to
negotiate more space for schools.

Mr. Elfend indicated they will continue to try to work with OUSD to create a ten acre pad to
build the school. The ten acre pad is made up of approximately four acres of land owned by
SunCal. OUSD currently has approximately six acres of undeveloped land next to the four acres,
which is basically a ravine that would need to be filled. SunCal will grade the ten acres at
SunCal's cost, which is a great benefit to the OUSD. Between the two properties, there would be
roughly ten acres. SunCal has agreed additionally to provide OUSD with another four acres of
flat land and improve their parking lot. An offer to provide land to OUSD has been made. As of
today's date, an agreement has not been reached.
Councilman Murphy expressed support for the project with the change to single-family
dwellings and reduced density.

13.3 APPEAL NO. 466, VARIANCE NO. 2068-99, WESTERN TECHNICAL
SERVICES (A4000.0 APP-466) Tape 5057
Time set for a public hearing to consider Appeal No. 466 by Western Technical Services of the
denial by the Planning Commission to allow a telecommunications tower and antennas to exceed
the maximum permitted height by 75 feet. The site is surrounded by industrial buildings in the
M-2 Zone (Industrial Manufacturing) and located at 526 West Blueridge Avenue.
NOTE: Negative Declaration 1616-99 was prepared to evaluate the environmental impacts of
this proj ect.
THE APPELLANT STATES THE FOLLOWING REASONS FOR THE APPEAL:
"This is a request to allow an opportunity to present new information and argument for Board
consideration."
The Planning Manager presented the report.
MAYOR COONTZ OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING.
APPELLANT: Robert Jordan, 602 S. Hilda Street, Anaheim, clarified their intent is for a 130 foot
tower; a 140 foot tower would include omni-style antennas. Mr. Jordan rebutted the decision
made by the Planning Commission for denying their variance request.
In response to Councilman Murphy, Mr. Jordan explained their original request with the City
was to erect a 130 foot tower, indicating they were advised that code allows for a 65 foot tower.
They were told to submit their request for the 65 foot height; build the structure capable of going
higher; and submit through the variance process.
Mayor Coontz asked if there is any record of that activity? The Planning Manager indicated staff
would have been very clear with Mr. Jordan, as a few years ago staff went through an extensive
process of reevaluating where cellular antennas could be located, acceptable heights, etc. An
environmental document was done based upon allowing them in the industrial and commercial
areas as long as they were a certain distance away from residential areas at the 65 foot height.
Anything above 65 feet falls into a different category. The location of this site, in the opinion of
staff and the Planning Commission, did not provide uniqueness that qualified it for a variance
request.
The Fire Chief cornmented a new problem has arisen in the County of Orange during its
transition of all police and fire tachtical radio frequencies from an analog to a digital system are
dead spots, whereby vehicles could not receive or transmit information. The reason for dead
spots was found to be the influence of certain digital telephone technology upon radio systems.

Speaking in opposition:
Phil Anderson, 435 N. Equestrian, commented his primary concerns are aesthetics and property
values. Mr. Anderson urged Council to uphold the Planning Commission's decision and deny
the variance request.
REBUTTAL:
Robert Jordan commented they do not desire to drive down the price or value of the property and
that he does not believe that property values would be negatively affected. The tower
structurally complies with the code. The proposed tower does not set a precedence. Mr. Jordan
referred to the 500 Edison towers around the property relative to aesthetic issues raised. Further,
FCC licensing and restrictions govern the type of situation the Fire Chief addressed.
The City Manager asked what the 65 foot tower is currently being used for? Mr. Jordan
responded the tower is empty. They have not moved forward with installing equipment until this
issue is resolved.
MAYOR COONTZ CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.
COUNCIL COMMENTS:
Councilman Slater commented he feels the project will have a negative visual impact on the area,
the quality ofthe site and its surroundings.
Councilman Murphy commented that in addition to the visual issues, he cannot find a special
circumstance of the property that would allow for the granting of a variance.
Mayor Coontz commented on the need for review of the City's ordinance based on the
information provided by the Fire Chief.
Councilman Alvarez expressed opposition to the variance request in order to stay consistent with
his views on signage in the City.
