Discussion
Councilmember Slater suggested if a Lot Line Adjustment is routine and not related to
any development, that it be acted on administratively instead of bringing it to Council, as
this may streamline the process.
The Public Works Director reported a recent change in the law now limits Lot Line
Adjustments to no more than four parcels, which could provide an opportunity to
establish a threshold on what can be brought before Council.
The City Manager stated a report will be provided to the Council.

Preparedness (C2500.E.6)Councilmember Coontz reported that in the
last month, she has received a number of direct questions from residents about the City'
s ability to respond to disasters. Their concerns probably came about because of the last
year's disaster in New York City on September 11th and the ensuing press reports recently on national
news about the President's Homeland Security program and accelerated activities throughout the
nation to deal with possible future disasters.Her interest in community preparedness dates
back long before she became a member of the City Council. Over time, the City has
achieved an excellent record of preparing for major emergencies, but that information is not
readily available to the community.She requested, with Council support, that
the City Manager agendize a briefreport on the City's readiness to deal with major disaster
and homeland security issues. The community needs to receive basic information and have confidence
in the City's ability to handle major disasters.She stated a report would be
helpful to know that everything is being done that needs to be done;and suggested information be provided on
Channel 3 and on the City's website.The City Manager will provide a
report.6. REPORTS FROM BOARDS, COMMITTEES, AND

550 7.1 Report from
City Attorney on Pre-Development Agreement between the City of Orange and Del
Rio, LLC (A2100.0 AGR-4069)SUMMARY: The
primary purposes of the agreement are twofold: (1) to establish a framework of guidelines
and procedures for the processing of requested land use entitlements for the proposed residential
project and (2) to obtain City Council input on the project. The agreement does not
limit the City Council's discretion to either approve or deny future requested approvals for the
proposed development. A site plan is attached as an exhibit to the agreement.The City
Attorney reviewed the major provisions ofthe agreement.Councilmember Cavecche
asked if the Park Planning and Development Commission would be reviewing this
project. The Community Development Director stated the specifics of the proposed park
in the development would be reviewed by the Parks Planning and Development Commission at
a later date.Mr. Frank
Elfend, Elfend and Associates, 18101 Von Karman, Irvine, introduced himself as the Applicant.Mayor
Murphy
noted for the record that two letters had been received ill support of the Agreement from
Marilyn Ganahl and Theresa Sears.Bob Bennyhoff,
Orange Park Acres, spoke in support of this Agreement, as it is an opportunity for everyone
to look at the project and think about it.Council Discussion
TAPE 690 Councilmember Slater
stated he likes the amount of proposed park space with this development,the enviromnental
considerations and the proposed traffic circles, and supports the ongoing communication with
the School District. He suggested this be reviewed by the Park Planning and Development
Commission for their input to see if this is on the right track in meeting the City's
park needs. He also expressed concern about the high density in Planning Area 4, which is approximately
16 acres, as the area is mostly single family units and condominiums.Councilmember Coontz
stated there have been many attempts in the past to develop this property, but
none of them can compare to this one. This has been a difficult planning area and PAGE 13

this pre-development agreement sets out opportunities for the Council, staff and the
community to see the blueprint for this project. There is a mix of residential uses in the area and noted
the specific aspects of the development will come along at a later date. She also noted
the importance of the agreement with the adjoining land
owner.Councilmember Cavecche stated she was excited about the proposed park space, which is
far more than the developer would have been asked to provide, and appreciated the developer'
s willingness to give up this space for park purposes. This agreement is setting a standard of
what can be expected of other developers in the future and is a great first step in the process. She
did not have a concern about the proposed
density.Mayor Murphy noted that projects which have community input up front are usually the
ones that turn out the best. This project is setting a standard and is a benchmark of how the
City should proceed in the future. He also noted that the Master Plan of Parks does call out
for development
agreements.The Assistant City Manager stated this is a unique process and provides an opportunity for
the framework of development. He noted the 17 acres of proposed park land in this
development will increase current park acreage for the city, and there is much more open development
with this proposal than other projects which have been proposed in the past for this
property.Mr. Elfend stated they are not proposing any apartments with this project and the higher
density in Planning Area 4 is a trade off in order to provide more parks and
greenway.MOTION - Cavecche
