The Clerk reported that notice had been duly published. Director Hightower presented the July 11 staff report which contained the background on the several public hearings held by the Council and the Planning Commission on this matter. Staff recommended alternative 3,B or C as listed in the staff report, with a requirement for at least 15% affordable housing units. Council then - inquired as to the Planning Commission's action on this item which was to deny 12 units per acre. Public testimony was as follows: Representing the owners were Mr.-Howard Adler, Thomas Tyo, and Mark Roemer. They stated their support for the General Plan Amendment and urged the Council's approval of the change in density to 6 -12 units per-acre. They requested specific directions to staff regarding the affordable COUNCIL -3- 7/17/84 housing issue, that the City consider some incentives for providing this afford- able housing, and requested that action be taken on this matter at the meeting. Additionally, they commented on the appropriateness of this density for the Golden Cove area, and agreed with the conclusion of the Williams, Kuebelbeck Report that this area was suitable for residential zoning and not enlargement of the commercial area. Mitchell Lawford, owner of the adjacent 1.06 acre parcel also spoke in favor of the rezoning. Speaking in opposition to the change in zoning were the following residents: Irene Caley, 6905 Vallon Drive; Franklin C. Weiss, 30711 Via La Cresta; Dorian Dunlavey, 3255 Parkhurst Drive; Martin Mok, 30845 Via La Cresta; Lin Hendrich, 27915 Longhill Drive; Jacey Hart 28733 Covecrest Drive; A. J. Edridge, 30945 Rue de la Pierre, and John Arand, 5731 Mistridge. These residents expressed concern about future growth requiring additional commercial area in the City, the increase in traffic as a result of residential zoning, keeping the residential density low, and whether future development of Marineland would require more commercial facilities at Golden Cove. Representing St. Paul's Lutheran Church was William Messer who expressed the concern of that organization about access to these proposed housing units since they would have to use an easement across the church's property. He said that the church is currently negotiating with the owner of the adjacent 1.06 parcel. There being no response to the Mayor's call for further public testimony, she declared the hearing closed on motion of Councilman Hinchliffe, seconded 'by Councilman McTaggart and carried. RECESS AND At 9:12 P.M. the Mayor declared a brief recess, RECONVENE the meeting reconvened at 9:25 P.M. Councilman Hinchliffe moved, seconded by Councilman Ryan to consider a General Plan Amendment. The motion carried on a 4 -.1 vote with Mayor Pro Tem McTaggart voting in opposition. Council then discussed the Williams, Kuebelbeck report and the conclusion that build -out to support a commercial area would not take place until around the year 2000, and the fact that this area had an access problem that needed to be addressed. Concern was expressed that future constraints on travel and pollu- tion control might require small commercial areas such as this. Additional discussion followed regarding the access problem behind the existing center and the easement situation with St. Paul's Church. Councilman Hinchliffe moved, seconded by Councilman Ryan to zone the 6.3 acres to residential density of 8 units per acre with the condition that a lot line adjustment or easement be made to resolve the access problem and that some resolution be made to the access situation with St. Paul's Church. By consensus it was agreed that this main motion would be set aside so other components of the matter could be discussed. Discussion then took place on the affordable housing segment of the project and the basis to be used*for the qualifying income for the affordable units. An amendment to the motion was COUNCIL -4- 7/17/84 #700Y -B4 moved by Councilman Ryan, seconded by Councilman Hinchliffe that the project have 25% affordable housing, using the Rancho Palos Verdes median income.
