PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT Mayor Garthe announced
APPLICATION 740 - ORD. NS-1311 that this was the time
APPROVED; FIRST READING and place for the pub-
lic hearing of Negative
Declaration and Amendment Application No. 740 to prezone
property from the M1 District (in the County of Orange) to
the M1 District (in the City of Santa Aha) generally located
on the north side of Dyer Road between Halladay Street and
Grand Avenue (Holly Sugar property).
Planning Director Charles Zimmerman stated that the Zoning
Code allows the City to prezone property in order to give
some assurance at the time of annexation of the zone that
will be established; that the 55.42 acres of M1 zone was
determined to be compatible for the facilities that exist
at this time; that public hearings were conducted by the
Planning Commission, and no one appeared in favor or in
opposition to the prezoning; that this property, if annexed,
would not be detrimental to the surrounding area, and would
conform to the General Plan; and the Planning Commission
recommends that the City Council approve the prezoning in
accordance with Exhibit A.A. 740-A.
John Savaadra, 2219 South Cedar, appeared as a representative
of the Delhi community to determine the impact of the pre-
zoning on the surrounding residents.
Mayor Garthe explained that the Holly Sugar plant is on a
County island; that they are considering annexation, but wish
to be assured that the zoning on annexation will be M1 so
that they can continue to operate in the same location; that
this annexation will provide Santa Ana some tax money for the
services they already provide to the plant; and that the
situation for the surrounding residents will not ~hange.
Planning Director Zimmerman assured Mr. Savaadra that there
are no plans to change the zoning of any of the surrounding
residential areas.
There being no further speakers, Mayor Garthe closed the pub-
lic hearing.
On the motion of Councilman Evans, seconded by Councilman
Brandt, the Negative Declaration was approved and filed by

PUBLIC HEARING - STREET ALIGN- Mayor Garthe announced
MENT 1SB , FLOWI~R ST. - APPROVED that this was the time
ORD. NS-1313 -FIRST READING and place for the public
hearing of the Negative
Declaration and Specific Plan for Street Alignment No. 1SB -
Flower Street between Civic Center Drive and Seventeenth Street.
Public Works Director John Stevens stated that on May 17 he
brought before the Council the proposal to reduce the width
of Flower Street from 64 feet to S8 feet, thus.eliminating
the'need for 6 feet on the easterly side of the street; that
the new alignment would allow for clearance of all the build-
ings on the easterly side of the street effecting a savings
of $150,000, $114,000 in right of way costs, and $36,000 in
construction costs; that instead of a raised median, there
will be a painted 10 foot channelization with adjacent lanes
11 feet wide; that the painted channelization will allow
turns into driveways; and that the Planning Commission recom-
mends approval.
Those speaking in opposition to the specific street alignment
of Mlower Street between Civic Center Drive and Seventeenth
Street were:
Irene Pimental, 1416 South Flower
Helen Younger, 41510 Orange Place,
Sue Reed, 1420 North Flower
Hemet
The objections were to.the loss of the-parkway trees, to the
taking of property from both sides, and acquisition costs;
and that more consideration is being given to the movement
of traffic than to the quality of life.
There were no further speakers; Mayor Garthe closed-the public
hearing.
Councilman Ward said that Flower Street is one of the prettiest
in the City; that he has been to the Park Board stating his
concern about preserving the character of the street.
Councilman Bricken said that trees are a renewable resource,
but that maybe Staff has not taken a very creative look at
the question; that Staff might consider some 0thor form of
treatment, mounding or berming, to give some esthetic quali-
ties on the side of the street; that he would like to see if
Staff can treat the parkway rather than planting three-year
old trees, give it a little more "oomph" and preserve the
quality by doing something a little bit more than what is
planned; and that in the long run the street has to be widened.
Councilman Evans stated that maybe the money could be used
elsewhere to provide routes to the downtown area and Civic
Center. Councilman Brandt agreed by saying that we ought to
work on Bristol and Broadway as the traffic routes to the
Civic Center.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 280 JULY 19, 1976
In answer to Cbuncilman Brandt's question regarding the width
of the parkwayi Public Works Director John Stevens stated
that the curb Fill be moved back, and rather than leave a
2-1/2 foot parkway that is difficult to maintain, Staff has
planned an 8 f~ot sidewalk with tree wells. Councilman Brandt
stated that he, would like to see a little more work done to
work out an acceptable treatment of the property.
The Council consensus was that some form of treatment plan
should be developed by the Staff, working with the residents,
to enhance traffic, pedestrian and aesthetic needs'0f the
community, and[to preserve the residential atmosphere of the
street; and that the plan should then be submitted to Council
for approval.
On the motion of Councilman Brandt, seconded~by Councilman
Bricken, and c~rried (5:2), with Councilmen Evans and Ortiz
dissenting, the Negative Declaration was approved and filed.
On the motion ~f Councilman Brandt, seconded by Councilman
