discussion regarding the sidewalk condition east of Denni, south of Lincoln, Item No. 31-B;

Mayor Kanel opened the public hearing for Consideration of Conditional Use Permit No. 85-7,
and continued it until after Item No. 28, Consideration of City Requirements Regarding
Density Bonuses, was heard due to the relation of the two items.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF CITY REQUIREMENTS REGARDING DENSITY
BONUSES: Planner Mary Venables summarized the staff report dated April 17 , 1985. At the
City Council meeting of April 8, 1985, staff was directed to research alternative methods of
applying the density bonus provision to residential projects. Included in the research were to
be criteria for establishing rents and/or sales prices in relation to the area low-to-moderate
income average, resale controls for ownership units and regulating procedures to insure
compliance with the City's requirements.
Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the City's responsiblity of resale control, persons eligible
for the housing, and clarification of the methods of applying the density bonus provision to
residential projects.
Councilman Partin suggested studying the City requirements regarding the density bonus for
rental units vs. sales units as two separate issues.
In reference to the staff report dated April 17 , 1985, the City Attorney requested that Item
III-B No.3, the first word "the" be stricken and the word "an" inserted in its place.
Mayor Kanel indicated that the City does have the responsibility to provide affordable
housing in the City and added that by approving these two units, it may encourage other
developers to incorporate affordable units into their projects.
Councilman Partin expressed concern that the owners of the eight units would be absorbing
the costs of the density bonus units.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to continue the
density bonus discussion to the budget session workshop scheduled for June 3, 1985, to study
this issue in greater detail.
Councilman Mullen added that he is hesitant to make a decision at this time because of the
project size, but indicated his agreement that the City does have a responsibility to provide
affordable housing.
Mr. Bob Gilbert, Engineer for the project, spoke in support of approval of the density bonus
and addressed the concerns of the Council, indicating that the sales price is in the $90,000

range, which is considered affordable housing; the homes would be single family-self
contained; and the eight units would not be absorbing the costs of the two density bonus
units.
After discussion, the motion to continue this item to June 3, 1985, unanimously carried, 5-0.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. 85-7 AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 12385, TEN UNIT CONDOMINIUM
PROJECT AND DENSITY BONUS ALLOWANCE AT 5462 DE LONG STREET: Planner Vern
Jones summarized the staff report dated April 12, 1985. At its April 8 meeting, the Council
reviewed a request from Manor Builders to construct ten condominium units on a .54 acre
site located at 5462 Df! Long Street, as well as a two unit density bonus allowance and the
related single lot tract map. The report addressed the concerns raised at the Council
meeting of April 8, regarding the location of the sidewalk, the history of the zoning of the
site and the location of the trash enclosure.
Discussion ensued regarding the clarification of the density bonus issue and the question of
whether the project would be developed if the density bonus was not approved.
Mr. Gilbert, 4552 Lincoln Avenue, again spoke in support of the project and responded that
the applicant would not proceed with the project if the density bonus is not granted, adding
that with the increase in the number of units, the condominiums could sell for a more
affordable price.
Mr. Manuel Machado, 5432 De Long, spoke in opposition to the project, and addressed the
issue of the location of the trash enclosure and recreational area.
Ms. Carolyn Cuello, 5362 De Long, questioned the plans for the sidewalks and parkways, as
well as the available parking.
Mr. Essex announced that the City Attorney has requested a Closed Session for matters of
litigation.
CLOSED SESSION: At 8:35 p.m., Mayor Kanel called a Closed Session and the hearing
reconvened at 8:45 p.m.
Mr. Edward South field, representing 8701 Walker, indicated his support for the project, but
added his concern that this development would create a blind intersection at Walker and De
Long Streets. Mr. Beardsley reported that the blind intersection would not be created by the
development of the project, but possibly because of the vehicles parking in the street.
Mrs. Christine Swain, 5362 Crescent Street, added her concurrence that a workshop is needed
to enable further discussion of the density bonus issue, stressing the need for affordable
housing.
Ms. Susan Ver Steeg, 5352 De Long Street, spoke in support of a limited street parking area,
to prevent a blind intersection. Ms. Ver Steeg also questioned the history of the zoning in the
area.
Barry Cannata, 5331 De Long Street, questioned the procedure for submitting a petition to
rezone the area, adding that he is not in favor of high density. Mr. Cannata also indicated
that red no parking zones should be installed on both sides of De Long and trash enclosures
and recreational facilities should be located fronting Walker Street.
Councilman Lacayo warned Mr. Cannata to consider his neighbors desires regarding zoning
preferences before returning to the Council.
Following lengthy discussion, Mr. Gilbert indicated his agreement to a continuance of this
issue pending further study.
It was moved by Councilman Partin and seconded by Councilman Lacayo to continue
consideration of this item to the Council meeting of June 10, 1985. The motion unanimously
carried, 5-0.
RECESS: At 9:18 p.m., Mayor Kanel called a recess and the meeting reconvened at 9s30 p.m.

fourths of an acre of land, which is currently occupied by an automotive repair business on
the front portion of the lot; the remainder of the site is vacant.

and indicated his intention to relocate the rental service on the unimproved portion of the

to install a sewer lateral and under sidewalk drain. These additional construction items
increased the Engineer's construction estimate to $18,252.
