WORKSHOP SESSION:
The Assistant City Manager stated that staff would be providing the results of the pre-
development analysis for the former Mackay School site and seeking Council
comments on these results. He stated that four recommendations would be presented
for consideration by the City Council.
The Assistant City Manager introduced Dr. Rex Swanson, Metropolitan Consulting,
LLC, and then provided background information on the former Mackay School site.
The Assistant City Manager stated that the services provided by Metropolitan include:
1) Assisting the District in coordinating third party consultants for the preparation of a
site constraints analysis, Phase 1 environmental assessment, and AL TA survey; 2)
Complete a market analysis of potential land uses for the site; 3) Prepare revenue
scenarios; and 4) Prepare a report summarizing their findings.
Dr. Swanson stated that the District views student generation as an important aspect for
developing the site because they are trying to generate additional students and also the
issue of potential income. Another issue that was looked at was the potential to do
affordable housing on the site, including senior apartments, family apartments, for-sale
townhomes, and for-sale clustered detached single-family homes. He stated that
residual land uses were developed for each of the uses and the lowest land value was
the senior apartments. It was discovered that singh:Hamily homes generate more
students per acre than apartments or townhomes.
He stated that they developed two options: 1) Build the entire site as single family
homes with an estimate of $16 to $18 million in proceeds; or 2) Build 90 family
apartments at 30 to an acre with the balance of singlE~ family homes with proceeds of
$9 to $13 million per acre. He stated that further discussions between the City and the
District were held about the possibility of combining townhomes and single-family with a
portion of the town homes being affordable units.
The Assistant City Manager stated that staff recommends the continued partnership
with the District on the development of the property of for-sale housing of both attached

and detached homes. He stated the next step would be to prepare some preliminary
site planning.
He stated that the District understands that the development of the site will create an
inclusionary housing obligation, but there are some creative approaches that can be
applied to achieve some affordability.
Council Member Luebben asked about the District hiring a contractor to build
apartment-type homes and retain ownership and management by hiring a management
firm. This would generate ongoing revenue while still maintaining ownership of the
structure but give them opportunity to sell the property in the future.
Dr. Swanson stated that he previously did a project in another city that was structured
as a ground lease with participation in a net cash flow. He stated that the risk level is
high for this type of project.
Council Member Seymore asked about the Senior Center and senior apartments, and
the relationship to the District.
The Assistant City Manager stated that the City developed and still owns the Senior
Center but the apartments adjacent to the center were thought out by design.
Dr. William Eller stated that the City and District engaged in a land swap that was
creative. The Wicker Drive property was swapped with the property located behind the
Senior Center, which resulted in 128 units of senior housing. The District is a 60%
limited partner in the project with a private developer and generates approximately
$250,000 annually. The project was about six years in development before it came to
fruition and has been a benefit to the City and the District.
Dr. Eller stated that the District entered into the initial agreement with Metropolitan in
order to determine the highest and best use, and what the potential long-term financial
potential of the project might be. The result of the study and consensus of the Board of
Trustees is that single family homes or combination mix for affordable purposes is
probably the best case scenario.
He stated that given the District's significant financial issues, the goal is to create an
independent financial resource that does not make the District dependent upon the
state.
Mayor Pro Tem Sondhi asked how the density figures were determined for the single-
family detached units.
Dr. Swanson stated that cluster housing was anticipated in order to keep the pricing
within market range.
Mayor McGill stated that he supports the concept of the project but that in time, the
Council will need to address the issue of open space.
Dr. Eller stated that he feels this is a wonderful opportunity for the District and the City
to accomplish mutual goals in using this resource for the community. He stated that he
appreciates the cooperation with the City Council and positive discussion with staff.
It was the consensus of the Council to proceed with the process as recommended by
staff .
The following spoke regarding development at the Mackay School site:
Debbie Fountas, Cypress Football Club
Philip Ruan, Cypress Football Club and A YSO
At 6:26 p.m., the Mayor recessed the meeting.

Council Member Luebben asked about replacing thE~ full grown trees with a larger
replacement tree rather than the 24 inch box trees and if the City is obligated to replace
the trees with the same type.
The Associate Planner stated that in the past, landscape personnel have indicated that
trees larger than 24 inch do not do as well. He stated that the Specific Plan does
indicate that eucalyptus trees are required but there are a variety of species that could
be looked into.
The public hearing was opened.
Lynn Mutch, Kimley-Horn and Associates, stated that the applicant has indicated that
he accepts the conditions.
Mayor McGill asked if there was anyone who wished to speak in favor of the item.

Council Member McCoy stated that he would not be in favor of removing 60 full grown
trees to facilitate parking when a parking structure has previously been approved for
this business.
Mayor Pro Tem Sondhi stated that she understands there is a cost savings with this
project but PacifiCare had obviously thought of the cost when the parking structure was
approved initially. She asked if this parking is replacing the exact same parking that
would have been built in the structure.
The Associate Planner stated that to the best of his recollection, it would be
approximately half of the parking provided by the parkin!~ structure.
Mayor McGill stated that he is in favor of the concept of moving forward with the parking
lot facility but not without some significant tree replacement or design that would take
into account some of the trees lost.
The Assistant City Manager stated that rather than forcE~ a decision this evening without
the full benefit of adequate information, if the applicant would agree to a continuance,
that would give staff some time to get a representative from PacifiCare to attend and
offer comments about their reasoning for the parking lot.
Mr. Mutch stated that there is no objection to continuing this item.
It was moved by Council Member Luebben and seconded by Council Member
Seymore, that the public hearing be continued to the October 24, 2005, City Council
