SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING - ZTA-5-83 The City Manager requested that Agenda Item "D", Zoning Text Amendment 5-83, relating to additions to nonconforming buildings, entertainment licenses, garages in R-I zones, exempting religious, charitable and non-profit organizations from a Conditional Use Permit for alcohol, and clarifying that a Specific Plan super cedes base zoning provisions, be referred back to staff for preparation of separate reports and ordinances, to be presented to Council under separate public hearings at another time. Risner moved, second by Vanderstaay, to refer this matter back to staff as requested. I AYES: NOES: Brownell, Grgas, Laszlo, Risner, Vanderstaay None Motion carried Councilmember Risner suggested that consideration be given to allowing carports through a Conditional Use Permit in certain instances rather than prohibiting them totally, and possibly separating such use in Zoning Districts Two and Five. with regard to the Specific Plan item, Risner also requested that single family residences be clearly 7-25-83 set forth as exempt from the Specific Plan process, and that the size of properties that could be considered under a Specific Plan be clarified. SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING - ZTA-4-83 Risner moved, second by Vanderstaay, to refer ZTA-4-83, relating to a residential overlay zone, back to the Planning Commission for a noticed public hearing with notification provided to property owners within three hundred feet, as requested by the City Manager. I AYES: NOES: Brownell, Grgas, Laszlo, Risner, Vanderstaay None Motion carried Mayor Grgas invited members of the audience wishing to make comments regarding the proposed zoning text amendments to do so at this time. Mr. James Gilkerson, 1011 Electric Avenue, referred to State law requirements for Specific Plans, stating that a Specific Plan should follow the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan and be consistent with current zoning unless a zone change is implemented. Mr. Gilkerson stated he did not believe the Specific Plan concept was meant to single out one parcel of property or lot to be developed under a Specific Plan. Mr. Gilkerson referred to a proposal presented to the Planning Commission in 1981 by the Bay Motel for conversion to twenty-five condominium units which the Planning Commission denied, citing the current zoning, maximum allowable units, and other Code requirements. Mr. Gilkerson stated that if the overlay zone is approved, the Bay Motel could construct up to twenty-two units which exceeds the maximum units allowed by the Code, and expressed his feeling that the Bay Motel property should not be included in the overlay I zone, suggesting that a zone change for that property would be the proper action. Nancy Kredell, 1615 Seal Way, stated it was her understanding that the proposed overlay zone was a means to resolve the problems existing at the apartment units on Seal Beach Boulevard at Landing, complained about trucks and trailers parked on Seal Beach Boulevard and suggested that the overlay zone be more clearly explained. The Principal Planner stated that the proposed overlay zone would permit a residential unit above a commercial property and a one-for-one replacement of units in the residential zone, and noted that if condominiums were proposed to be built the land would have to be cleared and units constructed pursuant to all existing Code requirements. The City Manager stated that the public hearing notice will be more explicit and offered to look into the truck parking on Seal Beach Boulevard.

Mr. Joseph pointed out that the State pre-budget allocation for Seal Beach was $715,200, that the adopted City budget reflected only $251,180 in anticipation of additional State revenue losses, therefore with activation of the AB8 deflator, the 1983/84 City revenues will be further reduced by $188,800. The Assistant City Manager noted that the legislature will be considering local government funding again when the legislature convenes in August.

Mr. Parker stated that financing is being secured by CHP-80 for resotration of the building , which involves the issuance of industrial development bonds, and that the City Attorney is preparing the lease agreement for the site to be presented to Council at a future date. The City Manager summarized the agreement in principal as follows: I) CHP-80 to pay annual ground lease of $40,000, payments to be made quarterly, with lease 7-25-83 term of forty years; 2) first adjustment of lease in year eleven, lease payment to increase by one-half of the non- compounded increase in consumer prices over the prior ten years; 3) beginning in year twelve and continuing through year thirty, annual rent increase at one-half of prior year's cost of living increase with no further adjustment after year thirty; 4) should CHP-80 sell leasehold, City could receive up to $35,000 additionally, dependant upon sales price; and 5) assuming six percent CPI increase annually, lease revenue to City would total $676,075 over first fifteen years, or annual average of $45,072. The City Manager stated further that the lease is predicted upon three assumptions: I) a lease with Group W for eighty- three percent of the space; 2) issuance of industrial development bond at eight and one-half percent; and 3) hard construction costs not to exceed $616,000. Mr. Parker stated he had looked into an alternative whereby the City would fund the reconstruction costs with a fifteen year loan from the Plant and Equipment Fund which could result in overall increased net income to the City when compared to the CHP-80 lease payments. Mr. Parker expressed concern however with an expenditure of $650,000 from the Plant and Equipment Fund, noting the possibility of cost over- runs and the risks involved on the part of the City to fund the renovation. I Resolution Number 3295 was presented to Council entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF REVENUE BONDS."

The Mayor suggested that architectural and engineering costs be included in such bonds. The City Manager informed the Council that upon researching the law governing issuance of industrial development bonds, there is a provision that precludes business activities that fall within the entertainment category, and even though Group W would be utilizing the facility for offices only, an Internal Revenue Service ruling is being sought to determine if Group W's activities would fall within the entertainment exclusion. Mr. Parker stated he expects to receive a ruling within ninety days. Mayor Grgas requested that the lease agreement include a provision for enforcement of maintenance of the building. Discussion continued regarding interest rates for Industrial Revenue Bonds, ground lease payments and anticipated construction costs. Councilmember Risner requested that consideration be given to arbitrage earnings at a fixed rate of interest, including architectural and engineering costs in the bond issue, and verified the proposed amount of the bond issue to be $500,000.

The Director stated that Southern California Edison Company allocates a portion of their revenue each year (approximately $26,000) towards utility undergrounding and that a total of $323,115 is presently available for such projects in Seal Beach. Mr. Johnson explained that recent changes in Public Utility Commission rules allow the Council to allocate some of this money for undergrounding to private residences, noting however that funding of the sweep, riser and receptacle are not eligible for district funding. Mr. Johnson estimated the cost to adjacent properties to be $200.00. The Director reported that the Committee has recommended that underground projects on Pacific Coast Highway from 12th Street to Seal Beach Boulevard, and Seal Beach Boulevard at Bolsa Avenue to Electric Avenue be implemented in 1985 at an estimated cost of $345,000, and in 1986, Ocean Avenue from lst Street to 8th Street, estimated cost of $145,000.

With regard to the Riverbeach condos, Mr. Parker stated it is his understanding that a land swap is being pursued with East Naples Land Company, and that there is no other activity relating to that project at this time. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Council that the City Manager provide a brief monthly update of activities, issues and developments within the City. Mitzi Morton inquired if an inflation escalation clause was included in the old city hall site agreement; the City Manager reviewed those provisions of the tentative agreement. Councilmember Risner referred to information she had been provided regarding the business inventory tax in the 1983/84 budget.
