The Director explained that Councilman Ybaben formed a committee (Bluebell Park Renovation Committee) and the committee's conceptual design #1 (exhibit "A") shows the playground area relocated to a different area and the Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation - conceptual design #2 (exhibit "B") was to leave the park configuration the same and do some rehabilitation of the facilities and fencing. Councilman Ybaben explained that there are 2 conceptual configurations with no detailed designs and the core issue/question is what kind of support should be provided for organized sports at the park. The goal of the Bluebell Park Renovation Committee was to look at how the park can be an asset to the community and accommodate both the sports teams and the tot lot area be in a safe location - supports concept #1 (exhibit "A"). Councilman Shanks said that he did not agree with Councilman Ybaben and gave a brief history background of College Park East - the developer did not include any parks - issue should go back to the Parks and Rec Commission not staff - favors concept #2 (exhibit "B"). Councilman Antos reported that he took a noise reading of the park area and favors relocating the tot lot and supports concept #1. Councilman Levitt stated his concerns regarding the trees being overgrown, how the trees are destroying the pavement and sidewalks, eliminating the shade in the area, and unexpected costs. Mayor Larson expressed his appreciation of the work the Parks and Recreation Commission has done and stated that his usual policy is to support the person who is responsible to his district therefore he will support Councilman Ybaben's motion. I Ybaben moved, second by Larson to approve design concept layout #1 (exhibit "A") and directed staff to provide Council for final approval a report to include an arborist's recommendation as to the condition of the trees and to have an assessment of the needs of the sport teams' use of the park. AYES: NOES: Antos, Larson, Levitt, Ybaben Shanks Motion carried The City Attomey clarified that the action taken approved conceptual plan #1 (Exhibit "A") subject to the following conditions: 1) that the trees be examined to determine its viability and 2) staff is to confirm the true needs of the sports Page - 3 City Council- 07-24-06 groups to see if the plan would satisfy their needs. Staff will come back before the Council with the final plan after the two conditions are addressed. CITY ATTORNEY REPORT No report was given. CITY MANAGER REPORT No report was given. COUNCIL COMMENTS I Mayor Larson commented that the trailer park is not owned the City and never proposed to be owned by the City, he has stated several times to keep the issue of the trailer park off the agenda, and the City should not be involved with the issues between the residents - the only concern is the repayment of the one million dollar loan to the City.

Page - 5 City Council- 07-24-06 PUBLIC HEARING / ORDINANCE NUMBER 1548/ EXTENSION OF INTERIM ORDINANCE NUMBER 1547/ MORATORIUM ON THIRD STORY BUILDINGS Mayor Larson declared the public hearing open for consideration of extension of interim Ordinance Number 1547. The City Clerk stated that the notice was published in the Sun newspaper on July 13th, 2006, as required by law and no correspondence for or against this item was received by the City Clerk's office. The Director of Development Services indicated that the Council received copies of the correspondence received regarding this issue - 5 were in favor and 17 were against and a petition with 46 signatures was also received. The Director I stated that the purpose of the public hearing was to consider the extension of Ordinance Number 1547 that was adopted by Council on June 26th - according to the provisions of state law an urgency ordinance is only effective for 45 days and before the end of that period the Council must hold a public hearing and receive comments in order to consider the extension of the ordinance and must receive a 4/5 vote. For Council consideration was an ordinance that would extend the previously adopted ordinance to 10 months and 15 days and background material was also provided. The Director explained that the Planning Commission had approved a time schedule to expedite the process of reviewing the Zoning Code - study sessions could be held weekly followed by public hearings by the Commission and the Council - new regulations could be adopted by early 2007. The moratorium issue will require more study due to the community concerns - the petition the Council received indicated the concern of how the moratorium would effect the entire city - the 3 story building issue only effects the residential area in District I zone (medium and high density). The Director presented a map that showed where the properties that are affected are located. Council would rescind the urgency ordinance upon adoption of the new regulation ordinance - by law a report describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the adoption of the urgency ordinance was prepared (July 14,2006) and a copy was given to the Council and a copy was available to public review. Councilman Ybaben clarified that the Council could adopt a date I certain (6 months) ordinance that would ensure everyone would get the job done. Councilman Shanks inquired if covered roof accesses would be affected - response was "no". Mayor Larson asked those who wish to speak to this item to approach the podium and state their name for the record. Mr. Pat Kearns, 15th Street, said that he would like to see the moratorium lifted and still do the study of the zoning codes - his main issue is the lack of parking in Old Town. Mr. Jim Caviola, Ocean Avenue, stated he is in favor of the moratorium - be consistent. Ms. Mitzi Morton, Seal Beach, said she supports the continuation of the moratorium and shorten the study time to 7 months. Ms. Gerri West, Electric Avenue, said she supports the moratorium and a structure in excess of 25 feet in height would have adverse affect on the neighborhood - when the decision was made to allow 3 stories it did not occur to anyone that someone would attempt to make money out of putting two 25 foot lots together and making a structure as envisioned on 13th Street -the former City Manager was removed because the people wanted to keep Seal Beach a unique small town and not make a quick buck. Ms. Joyce Parque, Seal Beach, said that the Council can do a study without a moratorium - not more than a half a dozen people have even come to City Hall for a permit to build a 3 story building - this is America, what is wrong with making a profit - courts have said that you can not stop someone from building because it takes away your view. Mr. Keith Newberry, 16th Street, said that this issue was brought up about 10 years ago and there was no urgency - urgency ordinance is not needed - the loop hole is building condos - put a I moratorium on all building permits. Mr. Scott Levitt, developer for 13th Street, stated that he is against the moratorium extension - legal parameters of the moratorium and the requirement of extreme matters that the Council was trying to prevent; indigent circumstance and quantifiable effect on public welfare, safety, and health - stated a court case (Lake Tahoe) - there is no damage and no proof to justify the moratorium. Mr. Eldon Alexander, 8th Street, said he attended the Planning Commission meeting and the moratorium does not meet the standards required for an urgency ordinance. Ms. Carolyn Alexander, 8th Street, stated that the moratorium does have an affect on other people - going to the extreme and should not stop all construction - will get fewer larger families in Page - 6 City Council- 07-24-06 I the City - should not use emotional key words - if you want to change the codes then change the codes without a moratorium - go through the normal process. There being no speakers Mayor Larson declared the public hearing closed. Councilman Levitt said that his statements were reported inaccurately in the newspapers and read a short statement: the issue is not about 3 story buildings - it is about denying property owners the legal use of their property - a vote to extend the moratorium is wrong and the City will be sued. Councilman Antos explained that the original ordinance provided for a hardship application process and approved the pipeline projects and recommended that the extension be for 6 months (January). Councilman Shanks said that the Planning Commission can not work that quickly and would like to have the moratorium extended for 7 months and Councilman Antos agreed. The City Attorney clarified that there were 3 properties exempt from the moratorium and that there was a hardship exemption - suggested that whatever time limit that the'Council agree to that the Council also include the hardship exemption language that was in Ordinance 1547, section 4. Councilman Ybaben referred the extended moratorium as a soft moratorium - the City will not stop all 3 story buildings exception will be granted - believes that a moratorium would apply pressure on the Development Department to get the job done. The City Attorney clarified that after the extension period of 7 months is up the Council can legally extend it one more time. Mayor Larson stated that the only reason this is before the Council is because of a 3rd story to a condominium - the Planning Commission can still do a study without an ordinance - can not find a reason to extend the moratorium - no source for an emergency. Councilman Levitt repeated that this is not about 3 stories but rather a condominium - if it was a duplex then it would not have become an issue. Councilman Antos commented that if the moratorium does not pass then the Council does not have any bases to get the Planning Commission and staff to address this in a timely matter. I Antos moved, second by Ybaben, to adopt as amended Ordinance Number 1548 entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH EXTENDING INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 1547, PROHIBITING THE ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS AND OTHER LAND USE ENTITLEMENTS IN THE RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM DENSITY, DISTRICT I, AND RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY, DISTRICT I ZONES FOR ANY CONSTRUCTION OF OR ADDITIONS TO ANY SWELLING UNIT IN EXCESS OF 25 FEET IN HEIGHT DURING THE PENDENCY OF THE CITY'S REVIEW AND ADOPTION OF PERMANENT ZONING REGULATIONS FOR SUCH USES AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF." The extension time period was changed to seven (7) months and Section 5 would be added (hardship language - section 4 in Ordinance 1547). The City Attorney read the title into the record. By unanimous consent, full reading of Ordinance Number 1548 was waived. AYES: NOES: Antos, Shanks Larson, Levitt, Ybaben Motion failed I The City Manager clarified that at the last Council meeting a list of priorities of what needs to be studied by the Planning Commission was approved by Council. The Zoning Code and Local Coastal Plan were the top two priorities - Mayor Larson stated that the Council made it a priority for staff the revise the Zoning Code and to complete the Local Coastal Plan - this will take time. PUBLIC HEARING / CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 06-4 / APPLICANT'S APPEAL /132 - 13TH STREET Councilman Levitt recused himself due to the possible conflict of interest (the applicant is his son) and left the Council Chambers. The City Attorney noted that Councilman Levitt does not have a financial interest in this project. Mayor Larson declared the public hearing open for consideration of Conditional Use Permit No. 06-4. The City Clerk stated that the notice was published in the Sun newspaper on July 13th, 2006, as required by law and no correspondence for or against this item was received by the City Clerk's office. The Director of Page -7 City Council- 07-24-06 Development Services explained that the Council has 2 separate considerations: 1) appeal of CUP 06-4 for property at 132 - 13th Street for a condominium development and 2) a pUblic hearing to approve a tentative parcel map on the subject property. The 3 options are: 1) uphold the Planning Commission decision, 2) grant the applicant's appeal (approve TPM 2006-160), and 3) deny CUP 06-4 in its entirety - a resolution will need to be drafted and brought to Council for adoption. The Director went over the Planning Commission process - backup material included in the staff report. The appeal was filed in a timely manner. Staff combines the appeal and TPM in the same staff report but two I separate legal notices were sent out as required by law. The Director explained the process that the Council needs to follow to consider the appeal he also provided pictures of the existing property. The Council received copies of correspondence received - 18 in favor of the 3 story condominium and 1 in opposition. Mayor Larson asked those who wish to speak to this item to approach the podium and state their name for the record. Ms. Joyce Parque, Seal Beach, said she is in favor of the appeal - the applicant followed codes and went through the process - the owner has agreed to the project - this would be 2 home ownerships not rentals - showed pictures of other projects. Mr. Scott Levitt, developer of 13th Street, gave a summary of the process and stated his cause - met all the requirements for a condominium (CC&R'S) - received a waiver from the Coastal Commission - if this project was a single family duplex then no CUP would have been required - believes a flyer that was sent out with misleading information caused this problem - read sentences from the General Plan that was omitted from one of the Commissioners statements - will be building a duplex in the next 30 days. Shanks moved, second by Ybaben to waive Section 17 and 18 of Resolution 5179 to consider the remainder of the agenda items after 11 :00 p.m. and adjoum the meeting by 11 :59 p.m. - no objections. Mr. Jim Caviola, Ocean Avenue, said this project is not compatible with the I neighborhood and the owner of the property is not present and urged to uphold the Planning Commission decision - no special privileges. Ms. Gerri West, Electric Avenue, asks to uphold the Planning Commission decision and stated that escrow is subject to Council approval - maximum height is 2 stories. Ms. Mitzi Morton, Seal Beach, stated she opposes the appeal - build a 2 story condo or build a 3 story duplex. Mr. Warren Morton, 13th Street, said not to build 3 stories. Mr. Scott Levitt rebutted that the owner is required to sign all the documentations/papers and is aware of the project - escrow will close on July 26th - there is no difference from a 3 condo and a 3 story duplex. There being no speakers Mayor Larson declared the public hearing closed. The City Attorney clarified that the same building can be built as a duplex (rental) without any CUP and the code provides an opportunity for Council to review if this condominium project is compatible and if Council finds grounds that this is not compatible you have no options to look at this as a duplex (no CC&R'S). Antos moved, second by Shanks, to uphold the Planning Commission decision and direct staff to draft a resolution for approval of CUP 06-4 with conditions limiting the height to 2 stories; and to draft a resolution approving Tentative Parcel Map 2006-160. AYES: NOES: Antos, Shanks Larson, Ybaben Motion failed I The City Attomey noted that if there are no other motions that receive a majority vote then the decision of the Planning Commission will be upheld. Councilman Ybaben stated that it appears that the Planning Commission is creating a new zoning law that says if you build a rental units then you abide by the current law and if you build a condo then you have a new law that says it can only be 2 stories high - Planning Commission does not have the authority to do this - the building will be built anyhow. Page - 8 City Council - 07-24-06 Ybaben moved, second by Larson to grant the applicant's appeal and direct staff to draft a resolutions for approval of CUP 06-4 and Tentative Parcel Map 2006- 160 for a three-story development with a 35 foot height limit on the rear half of the subject property, subject to appropriate terms and conditions as determined by City Council. AYES: NOES: Larson, Ybaben Antos, Shanks Motion failed I Ybaben moved, second by Larson, to continue this item, (unfinished business) without public hearing, to the next Council meeting for further deliberation. AYES: NOES: Antos, Larson, Shanks, Ybaben None Motion carried Councilman Levitt returned to the Council Chambers. PUBLIC HEARING / RESOLUTION NUMBER 5488 / PUBLIC WORKS / ADJUST BIDDING THRESHOLD / CITY CHARTER SECTION 1010 The Mayor declared the public hearing open for consideration of adjustment to bidding threshold on Public Works contracts. The City Clerk stated that the notice was published in the Sun newspaper on July 13th, 2006, as required by law and no correspondence for or against this item was received by the City Clerk's office. The City Manager said that the City Charter, section 1010, allows the threshold for public bidding to increase per the engineers news record - increase from $22,400 to $23,200. Mayor Larson asked those who wish to speak to this item to approach the podium and state their name for the record. There being no speakers Mayor Larson declared the public hearing closed. I Antos moved, second by Ybaben, to adopt Resolution Number 5488 entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH CONFIRMING AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE BIDDING THRESHOLD ON PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 1010 OF THE CITY CHARTER."
