Residential Devele mcnt Allocations Phase IV - 1987
The Phase IV 1987 Residential Development Allocations were tabled to this meeting, f
Due to the passage of Measure N the total number of building permits to be issued
for residential units is limited to 400 annually. A total of 461 building permits for
residential dwelling units had been issued in 1987. Stiff research has determined thatgjk
there is a potential for the issuance of approximately 1,400 additional residential
building permits due to previously ;ranted unused allocations. Since the number of
I building permits for residential units already exceeds the 400 permitted by Measure N, 'kE ,
ax which became effective on December 1.1, 1987, the City Attorney, after careful
consideration, has recommended that no additional residential development allocations
be made until the ordinances implementing Measure N can be prepared and adopted. go
Councilmembers Wormser and Johnson expressed concern about projects in the 'pipelfne.'l
Speaking from the audience was Michael Atencio who felt the allocations should be made
at this time since the applications were ori line prior to passage of Measure N Following
discussion, Councilmember Cunningham moved that action on the Residential Development
Allocations for Phase IV be deferred until ordinances implementing Measure N are adopted.
Motion seconded by Councilmember DeMirjyn and carried unanimously. i
Councilmember Wormser moved to direct staff to bring these Phase IV Residential
Development Allocations applications and whatever is decided at the vesting hearing
on January 1.9, 1988,. to Council for consideration before any new applications are
considered under adopted Measure N implementing ordinances. Motion seconded by
Councilmember Johnson and carried unanimously.
Trolley Car Barn Sale. �
Preservation Officer Cozen explained that the City acquired this historic trolley car
barn at 746 East Citrus Avenue on October 20, 1987, for the purpose of sate to a
developer for adaptive reuse. Efforts to sell brought three offers to purchase the
building. Each prospective buyer offered to pay the full asking price, ($325,000.00)
for the building. All three are developers who are uncertain of the final use:of the � r
building, but feel confident that they will find uses that are permitted under the Zoning ,
Code. They all have agreed that the City may keep a facade easement on the building
' to protect the building from demolition in the future. From here; the offers diverge,
and staff and Commission members have diligently reviewed the pros and cons of each
offer. At this time, staff recommends that City Council counter the offer of Mr. Lawrence
Rael of Rae] Development Corporation, Santa Ana, as contained in the staff report dated
January 5, 1988. Council commended Mr. Cozen for the way this matter was handled
and discussed loan subordination. Councilmember Beswick moved to counter Ms. Lawrence
5. Rael's offer for the purchase of the Trolley Car Barn at 746 East Citrus Avenue as
proposed by staff with the additional requirement that any additional loans on this
property be subject to the approval of the City Council. Motion seconded by Gounciimomber,
