COUNCIL COMMENTS Mayor Pro Tem Deaton said that the Public Works Department purchased a scrubber machine to clean the pier and it took 6 hours for the first cleaning and the pier looks fabulous and will continue to clean the pier. ITEM "A" / BOEING INTEGRATED DEFENSE SYSTEM SPECIFIC PLAN / PROPERTY ADJACENT TO MARINA PARK (Deaton/Miller) The Director of Community Development stated that this item is a discussion item requested by the Council at their May 29th meeting to conduct the beginning to the feasibility analysis to determine if 2 other locations can be rezoned for high density residential use. Boeing will not entertain any changes to the use of their property and Marina site is highly contaminated and not zoned for residential but zoned for oil extraction. Page 6 - City Council 06/24/13 Council discussion and comments: • Clarified that HCD would determine Marina site adequate due to the prior use by oil company; • Marina site was considered by City to use for the community pool — not the same requirements if used for residential; • Clarified that a new traffic study would be needed; • Recommend that the process start over or refer this back to Planning Commission to determine a site; • Rossmoor site has been brought up again but the property owners would not agree to the re-zoning; and • Marina site has 4 acres and could be the same problem as Accurate Storage site. City Attorney stated that the City tried to purchase the Marina property and if they did purchase the property it would not have to be re-zoned and would be a different process. John Douglas, consultant, explained that the goal of the City is to maintain a compliant Housing Element — HCD has certified the City's adopted 2008 Housing Element contingent on the adoption of the zoning change by October 15, 2013 — if the zoning change is not adopted the Housing Element goes out of compliance and the City would have until October 2014 to become compliant with zoning a site for 21 units. The City Attorney stated that in 1990 the City was found out of compliance and a civil suit was filed and the court found that the City had an invalid Housing Element and prohibited the City from issuing any building permits until the City had a Housing Element compliant with State law — the options to meet the October 15th deadline would be to direct staff to explore the Marina site, or to consider the Accurate Storage site which received no action tonight with a 2 to 2 stale mate and can be brought back for consideration. Miller moved, second by Levitt, to direct staff to pursue contacting the 2 oil companies to see if they would allow reviewing of the Marina property and bring an update back to Council at their next meeting — July 8th AYES: Deaton, Levitt, Miller, Sloan NOES: Shanks Motion carried ITEM "B" / MUNICIPAL CODE §9.05.025(B) / ENCROACHMENTS ON THE BEACH (Deaton) The Director of Community Development presented the staff report. The Council discussed the issue stating that the City should be responsible for volleyball poles on both sides of the pier and the City Manager should not have to make the decision who can or cannot place items on the beach. The Council agreed that no picnic tables, benches, etc. shall be left out overnight. Shanks moved, second by Miller, to amend Municipal Code §9.05.025(B) to remove the provision that the City Manager can authorize permanent encroachments. In addition, the Council directed that staff survey the beach to determine where the City can install volleyball poles and the Recreation and Parks Commission approve the recommended list of locations.
