10.PUBLIC HEARINGS TAPE 1872 (RC2500.G.1.4)
10.1 REPLACEMENT HOUSING PLAN FOR 4649 EAST WALNUT AVENUE:
Time set for a public hearing to consider the proposed Replacement
Housing Plan for the property located at 4649 East Walnut Avenue.
CHAIRMAN BEYER OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING.
The Administrator of the Economic Division reported subject property
is located on the north side of Walnut Avenue surrounded by existing
single family residences, and easterly of Hewes Street. The Agency
staff is discussing with the Orange Housing Development Corporation
possible purchase or joint venture to increase the affordable housing
in the city by developing additional single family units.
This is an agreed upon sale with the property owner. It is on one
acre with an existing house on the property. The house has not been
lived in for approximately two years. The existing zoning is R-
1-7.The intention at this time is to build four detached
single family homes to be sold to qualified low to moderate
income buyers.However, because of the zoning, there is a possibility of
a fifth parcel, but will require a conditional use permit
and given discretional approval by the Planning commission
and Council.Section 33413.5 of the Health and Safety Code requires
that a Replacement Housing Plan be adopted by an Agency Board not
less than 30 days prior to the execution of an agreement for
acquisition of this type of property. Since this property is an
ownership property,it has not been rented out and because it is on an acre
parcel, the value is more than what staff considers to be affordable,
staff does not feel it requires the replacement plan. However, to
be prudent and conservative, the pUblic hearing was scheduled to comply
with the State Health and
Safety Code.Director Spurgeon commented, at last week's Agency meeting,
he and Director Coontz abstained from Item 2.4 which
authorized the execution of the Funding Agreement between the
Orange Redevelopment Agency and the Orange Housing Development
Corporation. Directors Spurgeon and Coontz are on the Board of Directors and
the Executive Board of the orange Housing Development
Corporation. Director Spurgeon requested the city Attorney's opinion regarding
their voting responsibility on
this item.The City Attorney opined as noncompensated officers of
a non-profit,non-taxable corporation, it is
legally permissible for Director Spurgeon and Coontz to vote on this item.
Since this is under 1091.5(a) (8), which says if you are noncompensated
and it is a non-profit corporation, you have no
interests. The 1090 addresses a
financial interest, which neither has.Special Counsel, Mark Huebsch, agreed
with the city Attorney's analysis and added that Resolution No.
ORA-0228 only pertains to the replacement housing plan, and
does not

be fulfilled.
Director Coontz expressed concern that Resolution No. ORA-0228
could lead to the involvement of Orange Housing Development Corporation
in a replacement structure. Also, the fact the Attorney for OHDC
had recommended that Directors Coontz and Spurgeon become
non-voting members. It was expressed that this vote should
remain consistent with the August 20, 1991 vote on Consent Calendar Item
2.4.Barbara DeNiro, 1118 E. Adams, asked the price of the
homes. The Administrator of Economic Development indicated, at
this time,pricing has not
been discussed.THERE BEING NO FURTHER SPEAKERS, CHAIRMAN BEYER CLOSED
