PRELIMINARY CONDOMINIUM Planning Director Charles
CONVERSION STUDY - FILED Zimmerman reviewed the
PERIODIC REPORTS REQUESTED status report submitted
to Council of the 90-day
study of the condominium conversion process in the City initiated
by the Planning Commission. He stated that because of an increase
in the number of requests for condominium conversions, an ad hoc
committee was formed to study the impact of condominium conver-
sion on the rental housing market and to develop standards for
converted units to provide for some degree of consumer protec-
tion. He stated that State law requires 120 days notice of
intended conversion to be given to tenants, and that they also
be given a 60-day right of first refusal to purchase the con-
verted unit. Mr. Zimmerman said that the Planning Commission
had directed the Staff to continue its review of conversion impact
on the housing stock in the City with the intention of providing,
at a later date, specific guidelines and development standards
for condominium conversion in the City.

Ana's concerns; that our City is advised that a zone change and
variance are needed; and that the City Council of Orange had
approved a request to amend the Land Use Element of its General
Plan to allow for the high rise development at the southwest
corner of Town and Country Road and Lawson Way in Orange, despite
protests at the hearing on December 6 from Councilman Ward and
residents of northeast Santa Aha.
Anumber of residents were in the audience who wished to speak
to this project; they were:
Gregory W. Sanders, 2636 N. Jessee Drive

The speakers pointed out that the project consists of four resi-
dential towers up to 21 stories high; that there will be in excess
of 700 people in the 5.5 acre site; that there will be 500 dwell-
ing units of 90 per acre; that the project is totally incompatible
with medium residential character of adjacent northeast Santa
Ana area; that the impact of traffic on Santa Ana's Main Street
and residential streets, such as Santiago Street and Valencia,
both of which go through to Memory Lane and Lawson Way, would be
considerable; that Santiago Park is the only open space in the
area for use by an additional several hundred people; that there
are a great number of younger families in the area who have young
children who will be restricted by the heavier traffic flow;
and that they are anxious that the Council take action to stop
the project by injunction.
On the motion of Councilman Brandt, seconded by Councilman Garthe,
carried 7:0 unanimously, Staff was instructed to take any and all
legal action open to the City to oppose the plan. CA 78.11
