1.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - APRIL 26,2005 MEETING
Approved by a vote of 2:0 (Bustamante absent)
2.
VENDING TRUCK ORDINANCE UPDATE
Bruce Dunams gave a comprehensive review of Phase I of the Mobile Vending Truck
ordinance. This review led into an overview of the proposed Phase II ordinance (Exhibit
1). Major discussion issues focused upon revocation procedures and policy, vending
location policy and vending location assignments using alternate lottery proposals. Each
of the above topics led to significant dialogue with the council committee, staff and public
constituency involved.
Staff was directed to complete its work on refining the policy implications of the issues
that were discussed and meet with vending association to get their feedback. Staff was
directed to bring its revisions back to the committee at its next meeting.
3. DEPUTY COUNTY HEALTH INSPECTION PROGRAM UPDATE
Item continued to the next meeting due to the absence of Council member Bustamante.
4.
LEGAL DETERMINATION OF ICE CREAM TRUCKS AS MOBILE VENDING UNITS
Ben Kaufman provided a legal synopsis of the ice cream truck ordinance and its
evolution during the litigation with the cities of Fullerton and Anaheim. It was his legal
recommendation that the committee not fold the ice cream vendors in the mobile
vending truck ordinance since the intent of the ice cream trucks is supposed to the short
duration shorts in the neighborhood community.
138-1
(
Although he acknowledged that there were overlapping issues, he felt the primary issues
facing the community regarding the two industries were clearly distinctive.
The committee members clearly felt there was an over concentration of ice cream truck
vendors in certain areas of Santa Ana (Brooke and Camille streets in particular) and if
there were any legal options to reduce the number of ice cream trucks permitted in an
area for a given period.
5. GARAGE PRE-SALE INSPECTION PROGRAM
Bruce Dunams provided a review of the recently proposed pre-sale inspection ordinance
that developed approximately five years ago and reviewed as recently as 2003. He
elaborated on the specific policy issues related to the development of the proposal and
the strong local resistance of any such program by the local realtors association.
The committee directed staff to outline a program which would only evaluate garages as
part of a pre-sale inspection program. The intent is to outline the parameters of a
program that could be introduced to the entire council for discussion.
6. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Julie Stroud requested the committee evaluate the Los Angeles ordinance regarding
grocery cart retrieval. She suggested that it may be a legal option that the city may wish
to consider.

Renew the contract with Hughes Supply, formerly Marden Susco for the
purchase of Polyvinyl Chloride pipe for a one-year period in an annual
amount not to exceed $25,000.
DISCUSSION
The Water Resources Division of the Public Works Agency uses polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) pipe in areas where acidic soil conditions exist. PVC
pipe is more resistant to these conditions and is used instead of
ductile iron pipe, whenever possible. The pipe is purchased through the
Central Stores warehouse for distribution to the Public Works Agency.
The contract for PVC pipe is designed to provide quality products at
significant savings based on quantity pricing.
On July 15, 2002, the City Council awarded a contract to Hughes Supply,
formerly Marden Susco for a one-year period with provision for three
one-year renewals. The vendor has agreed to renew the contracti
however, the vendor has requested a 11 percent increase due to increases
from the manufacturer as a result of rising costs for petroleum based
products. The vendor has performed satisfactorily during the past
contract period, and staff recommends the final renewal of the contract.

DISCUSSION
City agencies rent equipment and purchase small batch concrete for
special proj ects as well as for a wide variety of routine duties. It
is cost-effective for the departments to rent equipment for a one-day
project in lieu of purchasing the equipment. Rentals include, but are
not limited to: manlifts, generators, chain saws, skid steer loaders,
sod cutters, stake bed trucks with lift gates, carpet cleaners,
plumbing power snakes, electric rotary hammers, concrete trailers with
double axles and electric scissors. Concrete is purchased as batch
plant mix in quantities of one-half yard to two yards. The small
batches of concrete allow quick and easy use for repair projects where
ordering a truck load is cost prohibitive.

Authorize an annual amount not to exceed $300,000 pursuant to the
Newport Bay Watershed Cooperative Agreement with the County of Orange.
DISCUSSION
On June 16, 2003 the City Council approved a five year cost sharing
agreement with the County of Orange for the Newport Bay Watershed studies.
The agreement was estimated to cost a maximum of $200,000 for the first
two years. In addition it provided a long term funding strategy for
implementing the recommendations of the studies.
Based on new budget projections, Santa Ana's share of the costs for the next
three years is estimated at $300,000 annually. The additional costs are due
to a recent order from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board to
regulate nitrogen and selenium discharges into the Upper Newport Bay. The
County of Orange is the lead agency on the studies and will be the main
interface with the Board on the issues.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute a second amendment to the agreement
with Dougherty + Dougherty to design and construct City facility
improvements in an amount of $760,000 for a total agreement not to exceed
$921,090.
DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2004, the City Council accepted a $15 million Urban Area
Security Initiative (UASI) grant from the federal Department of Homeland
Security, through the State of California, Office of Homeland Security.
This ini tiati ve was designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of
urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have adequate
equipment and systems to prevent, respond to and recover from acts of
terrorism. The grant provides total reimbursement to local agencies for
improvements approved and authorized by the Office of Disaster
Preparedness. The City has received authorization for two proj ects to
improve city facilities - upgrading the training room at the City Yard to
serve as the Emergency Operations Center, and the installation of
security bollards at the Santa Ana Train Station.
Emergency Services integrators (ESi) of Augusta, GA performed a facility
assessment to locate the City's Emergency Operation Center (EOC) on the
second floor of the Administration Building of the Corporate Yard at 220
S. Daisy Street. The existing training room is capable of providing the
essential elements required for an EOC. Improvements to the training room
include raised access flooring, reinforcement of glass windows, and
modification of the existing lighting, security and electrical systems.
In addition a separate generator will be installed to serve the EOC.
25F-1
Second Amendment To Agreement
With Dougherty + Dougherty For
City Facility Improvements
July 18, 2005
Page 2
A report prepared by the Santa Ana Police Department recommended
installation of vehicle barrier bollards at the perimeter of the train
station. These will include decorative bollards as well as raised
planters and will meet federal standards for protection of this facility.
An additional project to be included in this contract is the installation
of a fountain on 2nd Street between Broadway and Sycamore. Chiarini
Marble and Stone, a Santa Ana business, donated portions of the proposed
fountain. The improvements includes construction of the fountain pool
with the donated travertine centerpiece, seat wall caps and seat wall
veneer as well as the installation of a new mechanical and electrical
system.
Dougherty + Dougherty have been retained by the City to perform
Architectural Design Services for three park improvement projects
including EI Salvador Center, Santiago Park Wildlife and Wetlands
Interpretive Center, and Centennial Park Playground. They have the
expertise and the manpower to design and construct the facility
improvements and to meet the required schedule of the grants. It is
anticipated that these improvements will be completed by November 2005.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the agreement with
Curbside Inc. for collection and recycling household hazardous waste.
DISCUSSION
Last year the City was awarded a grant from the State Integrated Waste
Management Board for collection and recycling household hazardous waste.
With the grant, residents would be allowed to dispose of their paints,
pesticides, chemicals and other household products during the
neighborhood cleanups coordinated by Neighborhood Improvement.
The City hired Curbside Inc. to provide the required services including
collecting the waste, packaging it for transport and recycling the waste
as appropriate. Curbside's services will continue through the thirty-two
month term of the grant.
Due to the volume of household hazardous waste put out at the curbside
during the neighborhood events, the State has recommended and the
contractor has agreed to provide these services on an appointment basis.
This will allow residents to gather and put their waste out for
collection at an agreed upon time, still providing residents with a
convenient method of removing these products from their homes and
garages.

DISCUSSION
Under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), the Santa Ana Workforce
Investment Board (WIB) and its Youth Council are required to procure and
make funding recommendations in order to provide required WIA services to
local qualified youth. The Santa Ana City Council approved the initial
youth service provider contracts at its November 17, 2003, meeting
utilizing the 2003-04 WIA grant allocation. Services provided to the
youth include comprehensive education and employment preparation services
for In-School and Out-of-School youth who are Santa Ana residents between
the ages of 16 and 21.
On May 27, 2004, the Santa Ana Youth Council recommended approval of the
2004-05 distribution of the WIA youth funds to the current service
providers. This was approved by City Council on July 19, 2004. The
Santa Ana Youth Council's current recommendation is to provide bridge
funds through September 30, 2005, so that services to youth may continue
during the next procurement process. These funds were among the funds
unallocated in PY 2004-05. This recommendation was approved by the Santa
Ana Workforce Investment Board on June 24, 2005. Extending these
contracts will allow the service providers and the service navigator to
continue providing comprehensive education and employment preparation
services to local youth as stipulated in the WIA and ensures a
continuation of services to those youth currently enrolled.

Adopt a resolution approving variance No. 2005-01 as conditioned.
DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
Mr. Hossein Malakooti is requesting to modify Variance No. 2005-01 to
facilitate the construction of a new two-story office building at 801
North Ross Street.
Property Description
The development site is a rectangular shaped vacant parcel of land
comprised of two lots measuring approximately 11,500 square feet, located
on the northeast corner of Ross Street and Civic Center Drive. The
property is located in the Professional (P) zoning district, which allows
professional office uses, and has a General Plan land use designation of
Professional and Administrative Office (PAO) with a floor area ratio of
1.0. The surrounding land uses consist of government buildings to the
south and east, professional offices to the west and residential to the
north (Exhibits 1 and 2) .
Project Description
The proposed proj ect involves the merging of two lots to allow the
construction of a new 4,166 square foot two-story office building
(Exhibits 3 through 5). A lot line adjustment is required and is
currently being processed by staff to combine the two lots.
EXHIBIT A
31A-2
Variance No. 2005-01
June 27, 2005
Page 2
The parking requirement for general office use is three spaces for each
1,000 square feet and general office requires three spaces for each 1,000
square feet of gross floor. As proposed, the project meets the on-site
parking requirements.
The architectural design of the building reflects a contemporary design
(Exhibits 6 through 8) with high quality materials and finishes. As
proposed, the exterior design elements of the building include a smooth
stucco finish, plaster cornice treatment, granite tile and marble, and
lighting accents. Additionally, clear glass windows and metal canopies
will be utilized as accents at the primary entrances.
Analysis of the Issues
On February 14, 2005, the Planning Commission approved Variance No. 2005-
01. The project involved construction of a 2,660 square foot single-story
office building with three-foot setbacks on Ross Street and Civic Center
Drive. A variance was required for the reduced setbacks, as the
Professional zone requires all structures to maintain a 15-foot setback
along front and side yards abutting a street. The Planning Commission
determined that the building was compatible with the existing pattern of
development along Civic Center Drive and approved the variance.
After performing a cost and benefit analysis of the building and off-site
improvements, the applicant determined that a one-story building was not
economically feasible (Exhibit 9). As a result, the applicant has revised
the building design and now requests approval of a two-story building
totaling 4,166 square feet. The building will maintain the same setback
on Civic Center Drive and will increase the landscape setback along Ross
Street from the previously approved three-foot setback to nine feet
(Exhibit 10).
Staff performed a survey of the adj acent buildings along Civic Center
Drive. Except for one building, all of the buildings on Civic Center
Drive have two or more stories (Exhibit 11). As proposed, the building
design will be consistent with the existing development pattern and will
result in positive impacts to the neighboring properties.
The 4,166 square foot building will require 12 parking spaces, which the
applicant will be able to accommodate.
31A-3
Variance No. 2005-01
June 27, 2005
Page 3
In conclusion, staff has determined that the proposed office building has
been designed to be compatible with the surrounding development in respect
to design and height. Additionally, the project complies with the goals
and objectives of the General Plan by creating a new development which is
harmonious in scale and character with the existing pattern of development
in the area and by utilizing high quality design, materials, and finishes.
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends the Planning Commission
approve the proposed modifications to Variance No. 2005-01 as conditioned
(Exhibits 12 and 13) .
CEQA Compliance
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project is exempt from further review per section 15303 (c) as the office
building does not exceed 10,000 square feet and section 15305 (a), which
exempts setback variances that do not create new parcels. Categorical
Exemption Environmental Review No. 04-137 will be filed for this project.

City of Santa Ana
Planning Department.
Re: ModificationslRevisions to DP 2004-42 (Variance)
801 North Ross St.
Santa Ana, CA 92702
Dear Sir.
Our original plan was to develop a building approximately 2600 square feet of which
approximately 1300 square feet would have been a dental office and the rest general
office space at above site.
After considering the cost of development of the project which includes a large sum of
offsite improvement costs including but not limited to the reconstruction of the entire side
walk along Ross St to the east as well as the entire side walk along Civic Center Drive to
the south of the property and widening and repaving ofthe alley to the east.
If under any circumstances the dental office does not succeed and the space is to be
leased, as office space the income generated is not sufficient enough to sustain the
property, furthermore the site is better suited for general office use.
We have proposed a 2-story office building approximately 4,200 square feet. Of the
many different design schemes we developed and presented to the planning department
staff the current one seems to be the best option.
The landscape area to the east of the parking lot abutting the alley has been reduced by
approximately 63 square feet, in lieu of that we have made the planters along Ross St to
the west as well as the one on the east side along the alley and south side much larger
which will be planted with larger trees visible from Civic center Drive.
As with our previous submittal and discussions through out this project we are always
open and welcome any suggestions the planning department may have with regards to
exterior color and material to be used, treatment elements as well as any landscaping
concerns they may have.
Sincerely.
Hossein Malakooti

variance 2005-01
June 27, 2005
Page 1 of 2
Findings of Fact
A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location, or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found
to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapter.
The development proj ect has special circumstances that warrant
the granting of a variance. The proposed building has street
setbacks of three feet and nine feet from the front and side
property lines. A survey of the existing front yard setbacks of
the adj acent structures along the north side of Civic Center
Drive has determined that the most immediately adjacent
buildings have zero setbacks. Additionally, due to the shape
and size of the lot, the denial of the variance would deprive
the property owner the privilege of constructing a quality
office development. By being compatible with the existing
pattern of development, the proposed yard reduction should not
have a negative impact to the existing street pattern.
B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The approval of this variance will allow the property owner to
utilize the property to the best extent possible and allow him
to construct a high quality office development. The
establishment of this structure is consistent with the
development pattern along the north side of Civic Center
Drive.
C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
The granting of a variance will not be detrimental or injurious
to the surrounding properties. The new structure will be
aesthetically compatible with the surrounding properties within
the Civic Center, which offers a variety of office, government
service buildings and architecture styles. The proposed project
accomplishes Goal 2.9 of the General Plan Land Use Element,
Mi.lJf6
Variance 2005-01

Page 2 of 2
supporting new development which is harmonious in scale and
character with existing development in the area and Goals 2.1
and 2.2 of the Urban Design Element, encouraging creative
architectural design and consistency with the existing pattern
of development.
The encroachment into the front and side yard setbacks will not
have a negative impact on the existing neighborhood character
and will provide architectural design that will follow the
existing pattern of development. Goal 2.7 of the Urban Design
Element states proj ects must exhibit a functional, comfortable
scale in relation to the neighborhood; the compatible setbacks
of the structure with the existing structures along the north
side of Civic Center Drive will accomplish this goal.
D. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City.
The variance will not adversely affect the General Plan as it
will be consistent with the goals and policies expressed in that
document. Additionally, Office is a permitted use in the
Professional zoning district. Goal 3.5 of the Urban Design
Element Policy Plan is to encourage projects that are consistent
wi th the architectural character of the neighborhood. The
office building will be architecturally compatible with the
existing pattern of development. The structure has been
designed to provide architectural consideration and articulation
and the encroachment of the structure into the front and side
yard setback will not negatively impact the existing pattern of
development along the north side of Civic Center Drive.

RESOLUTION NO. 2005-20
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AMENDING VARIANCE NO.
2005-01 TO ALLOW A REDUCTION IN THE FRONT AND
SIDE YARD SETBACKS FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED
AT 801 NORTH ROSS STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. On February 14, 2001, Planning Commission approved Variance No.
2005-01 for a reduction in the front and side yard setback requirements to
facilitate the construction of a new office building at 801 North Ross
Street. The project involved construction of a 2,660 square foot single-
story office building with three-foot setbacks on Ross Street and Civic Center
Drive. The Planning Commission determined that the building was
compatible with the existing pattern of development along Civic Center
Drive and approved the variance
B. The applicant now seeks an amendment of Variance No. 2005-01. The
applicant has revised the building design to a two-story building totaling
4,166 square feet. The building will maintain the same setback on Civic
Center Drive and will increase the landscape setback along Ross Street
from the previously approved three-foot setback to nine feet
C. On June 27,2005 Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing
on the amendment of Variance No. 2005-01
D. The Planning Commission determines that for the amendment to Variance
No. 2005-01 the following findings, which must be established pursuant to
Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 in order to grant a variance
from the provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, have been
established:
1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location, or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found
to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapter.
31A-19
Resolution No. 2005-20
Page 1 of 4
The development project has special circumstances that
warrant the granting of a variance. The proposed building
has street setbacks of three feet and nine feet from the front
and side property lines. A survey of the existing front yard
setbacks of the adjacent structures along the north side of
Civic Center Drive has determined that the most immediately
adjacent buildings have zero setbacks. Additionally, due to
the shape and size of the lot, the denial of the variance
would deprive the property owner the privilege of
constructing a quality office development. By being
compatible with the existing pattern of development, the
proposed yard reduction will not have a negative impact to
the existing street pattern.
2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The approval of this variance will allow the property owner to
utilize the property to the best extent possible and allow him
to construct a high quality office development. The
establishment of this structure is consistent with the
development pattern along the north side of Civic Center
Drive.
3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
i. The granting of a variance will not be detrimental or injurious
to the surrounding properties. The new structure will be
aesthetically compatible with the surrounding properties
within the Civic Center, which offers a variety of office,
government service buildings and architecture styles. The
proposed project accomplishes Goal 2.9 of the General Plan
Land Use Element, supporting new development which is
harmonious in scale and character with existing
development in the area and Goals 2.1 and 2.2 of the Urban
Design Element, encouraging creative architectural design
and consistency with the existing pattern of development.
ii. The encroachment into the front and side yard setbacks will
not have a negative impact on the existing neighborhood
character and will provide architectural design that will follow
the existing pattern of development. Goal 2.7 of the Urban
Design Element states projects must exhibit a functional,
comfortable scale in relation to the neighborhood; the
compatible setbacks of the structure with the existing

structures along the north side of Civic Center Drive will
accomplish this goal.
4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City.
i. The variance will not adversely affect the General Plan as it
will be consistent with the goals and policies expressed in
that document. Additionally, Office is a permitted use in the
Professional zoning district. Goal 3.5 of the Urban Design
Element Policy Plan is to encourage projects that are
consistent with the architectural character of the
neighborhood. The office building will be architecturally
compatible with the existing pattern of development. The
structure has been designed to provide architectural
consideration and articulation and the encroachment of the
structure into the front and side yard setback will not
negatively impact the existing pattern of development along
the north side of Civic Center Drive.
E. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project is exempt from further review per section 15303 (c) as the office
building does not exceed 10,000 square feet and section 15305 (a), which
exempts setback variances that do not create new parcels. Categorical

DISCUSSION
The City's Dangerous and Abandoned Building Program has proven to be an
effective tool to abate dangerous and abandoned structures that create an
attractive nuisance for children and provide harborage for illegal
activity. The abatements are accomplished by board-ups and/or demolition.
Property owners are given 2 to 30 days to abate the conditions or the
City, through its contractors, will perform the work. The property owner
is then notified of the outstanding abatement costs every 30 days until
the Planning and Building Agency is reimbursed for the expenditure.
Each year, the City finds it necessary to seek legal recourse in order to
recover the uncollected costs expended for abatement of dangerous and
abandoned properties. This year the outstanding charges for work
performed on three parcels is $1,264.24 (Exhibit 1). The property owner
names are provided in Exhibit 2. The most effective method of collection
is to submit these charges to the office of the County Auditor/Controller
in order that they may be placed as a lien on the property tax rolls.
Charges must be submitted to the County by their deadline of August 10,
2005.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution affirming the fiscal year 2004-2005 Weed Abatement
Program Report and authorize the transmittal of uncollected weed
abatement charges and postings to the Office of Auditor-Controller,
County of Orange.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency operates a year round program to maintain private
properties free of weeds and rubbish. City sanitation inspectors post
properties notifying owners of unsightly or unsafe conditions. Property
owners have ten days to abate the conditions or the City will perform the
work through its contractor. When posting a property a second time
within twelve months for the same violation, the City assesses a posting
charge. The property owner is notified of such outstanding charges every
30 days until the charges are paid.
Each year the City finds it necessary to seek legal recourse in order to
recover the uncollected costs of posting violations and cleaning various
parcels throughout the City. This year there are $47/392 in outstanding
charges for parcels cleaned by the Ci ty contractor and posted by city
crews (Exhibit 1). The most effective method of collection has been to
submit these charges to the Office of the County Auditor-Controller. The
fees are included in the property tax rolls and if in default, are
payable when the property changes ownership. The County/s deadline for
inclusion is August 10/ 2005.
