The amendment requested was to exclude the Hyatt property from the election requirement. The staff recommended that, if the Council wishes to consider an amendment, the City Attorney should prepare the appropriate language. The City Council held discussion on the request for the ord{nance amendment. Mayor Hudson indicated he did not favor a waiver of the ordinance requirement and felt that a development proposal fop the Hyatt property should go on the ballot. Councilman Rowan favored the election if there is a development proposal that ap[~ears reasonable and in the best interests of the entire community. Councilwoman Evans indicated that she was open to alternatives with regard to the ordinance based on the fact that the Hyatt property differs from other industrial-zoned properties. Councilwoman MacLain indicated she did not favor repealinq the ordinance and felt there could be other solutions to the problem. The City Attorney reported that Ordinance #562 applies uniformly to properties and does nos provide for variances and the Council would lack the authority to grant a waiver for certain cases. Mr. Joe Hardcastle~ 4588 Blanca Drive~ Cypress~ stated he objected to placing a development proposal for the Hyatt property on the ballot since he did not feel a zone change was necessary. He felt the Hyatt property should be developed with a light industrial use. Ms. Mary Walker, attorney representing Hyatt Die Cast, spoke in support of their request for the ordinance amendment and stated the Hyatt property is unique compared to other industrially zoned prop- erties since it is completely surrounded by residential use. She stated they are not requesting a repeal of the ordinance, only a specific amendment to exclude the Hyatt property. She requested -5- City Council Minutes N~vember 27, 1978 that the Council direct the City Attorney to investigate whether a variance from Ordinance ~562 is possible. Regarding the election requirement, she did not feel an election next November would be timely enough to insure the relocation of Hyatt's operation as they propose or that a prospective buyer of the property would still be interested. Mayor Hudson stated he felt it was inappropriate for the Council to consider the ordinance amendment without the Council having a formal development application to consider and being able to determine whether there is a sufficient basis to call an election. The City Attorney reported that Ordinance #562 does not provide for exceptions and is uniformly applied to all properties designated on the General P~an for industrial use. Ne did not feel the general variance pro- visions (Section 17.8) of the Zoning Ordinance, as applied to the mandatory referendum provisions, would be available to exclude the Hyatt property from the mandatory referendum by reason of the fact ~haz t}~e mandatory referendum would not deprive the Hyatt property of any privilege enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity or ~nder the same industrial zone classification. He also stated the i{yatt property has no physical configuration or topography which makes it different from industrial properties elsewhere which would qualify it for a variance pursuant to Section 17.3 from the mandatory referendum. He stated he would research whether the Council may grant a legislative exemption to provisions of Ordinance #562. Following further discussion, the Council agreed to direct the (?~ty Attorney to research a legislative exemption to Ordinance #562 for the Hyatt property and to present a report for the January 8, 1979 meeting. Mayor Hudson stated that he did not support a legislative exemption. RECESS: Mayor Hudson called a recess at 7:50 p.m. The meet:icg was ealle~ back to order at 7:59 p.m. with Councilman Lacayo absent.

She also recommended that the property owners pay fop the necessary improvements at the *ime of development of the properties.

The staff reported that the City should receive sufficient revenues to pay Fop the street maintenance cost, which is approximately $1600 per year and based on the streets being brought up to the existing standard of other streets in the City. Staff indicated that capital improvements represent the major costs. Councilman Rowan spoke in support of the annexation and felt the long-range positive impacts outweighed the negative ones. He felt the area was unique since it is completely surrounded by the City. The Planning Director stated that the report serves two purposes: while it analyzes the consequences of annexation it also will serve as a basis for the City's discussions with the County regarding Housing and Community Development Act funding by describing the necessary improvement requirements and their costs.
