City Council Minutes October lI3. 1978
CONSIDERATION OF A COMMUNICATION FROM MR. D.L. BENDETTI AND MR.
JOHN BARR, OWNERS OF LINCOLN CENTER MOBILEHOME PARK: The City
Manager presented a report dated October 5 which indicated Council-
man Lacayo requested that the communication From the owners of the
mobilehome park, dated September 28, to tenants of the park be
placed on the agenda.
Councilman Lacayo stated the letter from the property owners re-
ported on an intended rent increase to be effective December 1, 1978,
the same date that financial information on the park was to be made
available by the owners. He stated bis concern was that the rent
increase was not delayed until after the Council committee had
reviewed the financial records and made their findings in regard to
the investigation of rent gouging.
Mr. John Barr, representing the owner of Lincoln Center, stated
December 1 is a regularly scheduled time for the review of rents
and possible increases and is unrelated to their providing the
financial data on that date. Ne reported they attempted to obtain
the Financial information and an appraisal of the property sooner
but were unable to do so. He stated the information will consist
of complete financial statements for the last 10 year period which
will demonstrate what the park's earnings have been. He felt the
Council's review of the financial data should be based on the rent
structure which the owners will be charging. He urged the Council
to coatinue with its intended study and stated the owners feel con-
Fident that the Council's review will show that rent gouging does
not exist and that the owner is not making excessive profits. Mr.
Barr reported on lease agreements which will be made available to
all tenants in the park through 1981. Mr. Barr felt that delaying
the rent increases until the committee makes its Findings would be
asking for Council approval For the increases and would be tanta-
mount to rent control without the benefit of an ordinance. In
response to Councilman Lacayo's suggestion that there be a mora-
torium on rent increases, Mr. Barr stated that if the Council decides
on a moratorium or rent control ordinance, then they would not be
willing to provide the financial information or pass on Proposition
13 savings to tenants, and 101 of the leases would be null in the
event o£ a rent control ordinance.
COUNCILWOMAN MACLAIN ARRIVED AT 7:15 P.M.
Mayor Hudson stated he felt the Council would be remiss by allowing
a rent increase wben it was in the process of evaluating the last
rent increase, tie stated he asked the City Attorney to prepare a
rent increase moratorium ordinance. Mr. Barr stated their volun-
teering to give the financial information was to give the Council
a chance to see their books and was not For the purpose of having
the Council give approval to any past or future rent increases.
He stated he could not delay a regularly scheduled rent increase
until after the committee makes its findings. Councilwoman Evans
asked if a rent control ordinance could be retroactive in the event
the Council determines that rent gouging has occurred. The City
Attorney reported that if the Council determines that circumstances
exist which gives them the authority to enact rent control, then
the Council could roll back rents to those which are reasonable but
it could not order a rebate of the December rent. Councilwoman
Evans felt it would be appropriate then to make rent control retro-
active. Hr. Barr felt Councilwoman Evans' suggestion to roll back
rents to those in effect before the December 1 increase, in the
event rent gouging is demonstrated, was a viable solution.
Councilman Lacayo requested an executive session to discuss his
concerns relating to possible litigation.

two months, disregarding the possibility of rent control.

Mayor Hudson suggested that the Council make an attempt to obtain
the pertinent information prior to December 1. Councilman Rowan
stated he reviewed the proposed moratorium ordinance and felt its
adoption at this time was premature. He stated he was not satis-
fied that rent gouging has occurred, tte recommended that the Council
proceed with obtaining and reviewing the data and then it will be
in a better position having the Facts to determine if the ordinance
is necessary.

PtJBLIC HEARING RE: APPEAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 78-18:
Mayor Hudson opened the public hearing and asked For the staff report.
The City Manager presented a report From the Planning Director dated
October 4 indicating Mayor Hudson appealed the denial of a portion
of the conditional use permit relating to the establishment of a
convenience market at the southwest corner of Lincoln and Denni
at the Council's September 1l meeting. The Planning Commission
on September 7 approved C.II.P. #78-18 For the establishment of a
restaurant including the on-site sale of alcoholic beverages but
denied the convenience market portion of the application which in-
cluded the off-site sale of alcoholic beverages. The City Manager
read a letter of protest from Mr. and Hrs. Brooks who indicated that
as neighbors of the development they objected to another convenience
market in the area and the crowds which this type of business attracts.
The Planning Director presented the development plan and summarized
Staff Report #78-38 dated August 29 which described the development.
Ite reported that the staff did not feel market demand was a justi-
Fiable criteria to use in determining the appropriateness of land
uses. He stated staff supports the development as prooosed. The
Planning Director reported that the establishment of a convenience
market, and a use which provides for the sale of alcoholic beverages,
both require a conditional use permit, but a supermarket is a legit-
imate accessory use not requiring a c.n.p. He reported that the
reason a c.u.p, is required for a convenience market is because its
characteristics differ from a supermarket, For example, the type
and amount of traffic generation, turn-over of traffic, and whether
the use attracts many children or endangers their safety or the
public safety in general, lie stated the applicant should demonstrate
whether the proposed use differs from a traditional convenience
market, lie reported that at the Planning Commission hearing, one
letter in support and four in opposition were received as well as
a petition in protest filed by the 7-Eleven store which does not
conform with the City's petition ordinance. The City Attorney agreed
with the Planning Director's comments and stated the applicant should
demonstrate that the proposed use is not a traditional convenience
market or, if it is, that it meets the standards and criteria appli-
cable to a conditional use permit.
Mayor Itudson asked if the applicant wished to speak.
Mr. Philip Charlton, representing the applicant, stated the "Conven~
ience Food Mart" is an important tenant For the center which they hope
w~l] bene£{t other tenants and enhance businesses ~n adjoining shop-
ping centers, lie stated it is not a 7-Eleven store or a liquor store.
Ile stated the c.u.p, application was filed because of the proposed
beer and wine sales. He reported the store carries a Full line of
groceries at prices competitive with supermarkets. Mr. Charlton
stated the applicant did a market analysis and considered competi-
tion factors. IIe indicated the only objections raised at the Plan-
ning Commission bearing were based on fear of competition with the
7-Eleven and liquor stores. He reported the store's hours of opera-
tion are 7:00 a.m. to midnight, the bnilding size is 3,000 squmre feet
most of which is useable area, and the store does a volume of bus-
iness of a 10,000 square Foot building. }te felt the store would at-
tract from an area larger than the surrounding neighborhood.

Mr. Bill Enhart, 11356 Matinicus Court, Cypress, operator of Omega
Liquor on Lincoln, felt there was not a demand for another store of
this type in the area and he stated there are four such mini-markets
within one and a half miles. He felt the proposed 3,000 square foot
size was more like a convenience market than a mini-supermarket°
Mro ,Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, stated a supermarket
is needed in this area of the city, not a liquor store. He asked
if piuball games were proposed in the store and stated they create
a nuisance. He stated he objected to the opposition based on com-
petition.
Mr. Abraham Vwich, 4500 Lincoln, Cypress, operator of the 7-Eleven
store, objected to another convenience market in the area. Me indi-
cated he would support a supermarket but he did not feel the proposed
store was a supermarket.
Mr. Bill Oreiss, representing the Southland Corporation, owner of
7-Eleven stores, stated a 7-Eleven store does not try to be a super-
market but attempts to provide convenience by carrying staple items
which people need at the moment. He stated their prices are com-
petitive with supermarkets, and a typical store is 2400 square feet
and is open from 7:00 a.m. to midnight.
Mayor Hudson stated he appealed the matter because it was brought
to his attention that the Planning Commission's judgment was based
on the competition factor rather than on the merits or appropriate-
ness of the zoning for the intended use, and he felt the Council
should evaluate the Commission's action.

which indicated Councilman Lacayo requested that the Council con-
sider the possibility of using the LandeI1 School site for senior
citizen programs. He reported the School Board is readvertising
for bids for the facility which are to be opened on November 8.

fac]lit> and is interested in school sites. He inquired aboot tbe

there was only one applicant for the first bidding. He stated they
have received inquiries From several groups, including the Braille
Institute and Christian Life Center, but they did not know if they
would submit bids. He reported the Board is expanding its adver-
tising and has contacted realtors about prospective lessees. Hr.
Calton reported the Board has a process to invite community parti-
cipation as to whether a proposed lessee is compatible with the
neighborhood. He reported Landell School was constructed with
State loan funds and there are certain conditions applicable to the
lease. Mr. Calton stated the Board tries to lease facilities as
soon as possible to limit the liability regarding vandalism. He
reported the present direction of the Board is to lease and not
make a determination on whether to sell school facilities, but
there is pressure from the Little Hoover Commission to close schools
and From proposed legislation which would penalize a district for
t'acilities not used for school purposes. Mr. Calton reported on
the Board's policies for the leasing of school facilities. He
also reported on a Los Alamitos school district unification proposal
and recommended a joint meeting between the City Council and School
Board to consider the matter, tie stated that in view of the reor-
ganization plan and possible penalties facing the District the Board
mnst determine whether to continue the lease basis or change to a
lease/purchase policy.
Following further discussion, the Council agreed to refer the
matter to the Ad Hoc Senior Citizens Committee to pursue the
leasing of a facility for senior citizens and request that they
make progress reports to the Council.
