8 City Council Minutes May 9, 2017 Vol. 49 Pg. 57 STUDY SESSION ( 15 25) ( Adjourn to Conference Room) 15. DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING A PROPOSED 34 -UNIT MULTI- FAMILY RESIDENTIAL /NEIGHBORHOOD- SERVING COMMERCIAL MIXED -USE DEVELOPMENT AT 6555 BEACH BOULEVARD Present for the discussion was Brady M. Woods, Senior Planner, and Michael Maltzan, Principal, Michael Maltzan Architecture. Mr. Brady and Mr. Maltzan presented a proposal to develop a 34 -unit residential and commercial mixed -use project at the northwest corner of Beach Boulevard and Ninth Street. The project would include 1, 518 sq. ft. of commercial space, 1, 350 sq. ft. of office space and 87 ground -level parking spaces. The proposed building height is 55 feet (five - stories) and access to the development would be off Ninth Street. The property is owned by M +D Properties, owners of The Source, with whom the City has entered into a Development agreement for the construction of a 90 -foot double -sided digital billboard sign for off -site advertising. The proposed mixed -use development is designed to accommodate and complement the digital sign and consider acoustic challenges associated with the adjacent railroad tracks and freeway. The proposed development would require a development agreement and zone change from Commercial General ( CG) and Light Manufacturing ( LM) to General Mixed Use (GMU). The next steps in the process would be 1) conduct a community meeting to receive feedback from the residents; 2) conduct a Planning Commission public hearing; and 3) conduct a City Council public hearing. Following its review, a majority of the City Council conceptually concurred with the proposed design, with Mayor Swift and Council Member Berry dissenting. Mayor Swift cited concerns that the modern design is not compatible with the adjacent historic district (a Brownstone style is more suitable), traffic queuing at Ninth Street is already problematic, the five -story design is too high ( three- stories would be acceptable). Council Member Berry commented that the proposed design is too futuristic for the area and favored a more historic design. User Fees 204 Contracts 70 C DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING A REQUEST FROM PARK WASTE AND RECYCLING ( PARK DISPOSAL) TO INCREASE REFUSE RATES Present for the discussion was David Jacobs, Director of Public Works Mr. Jacobs reported that Park Disposal is requesting an increase to the three components of the refuse rate: the service component (cost to pick up refuse), the recycling component ( cost to remove recyclables at the material recovery facility in Stanton), and the disposal component cost to dispose of remaining waste at landfill). This increase is in response to the County of Orange's increase in the landfill tip fee from $ to $ ( since 2015). In 2015, the City Council adopted a resolution and mailed a Proposition 218 notice to all residents authorizing future increases based on the rate of inflation. This proposed increase falls within that authority. Notice of these 2017 revised rates will be included with each customer's water bill. Following discussion, the City Council concurred with the increase as presented, acknowledging that rate -of- inflation increases were previously authorized in July 2015 under Resolution No , notice of which was mailed to each property owner /water customer prior to adoption of that resolution. 17. DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING HEROES HALL VETERANS MUSEUM SPONSORSHIP Present for the discussion were Aaron France, Assistant to the City Manager, and Bobby McDonald, Board Member of the Heroes Hall Foundation. Mr. McDonald gave a presentation on the history, accomplishments, and mission of the Heroes Hall Veterans Museum located at the Orange County Fair Grounds.

He gave staffs recommendation to fund the project from surplus donated funds in the Buena Park Goes to College account ($4, 000) and the State of the City account ($2,400), with the High School contributing the remaining $ 1, 600. Following discussion, the City Council directed staff to proceed as outlined in the written staff report.

ONARY HOUSING POLICY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING Present for the discussion was Jay Saltzberg, Planning Manager Mr. Saltzberg reported that the City Council requested discussion about inclusionary housing programs. An inclusionary housing program, adopted by ordinance, requires housing developers to set aside a certain percentage of new construction as affordable units or pay an in -lieu fee to be used to provide additional affordable housing. Approximately 20% of California jurisdictions have adopted inclusionary housing programs, including the cities of Irvine, Pasadena, Brea, and Santa Ana. Following discussion, the City Council directed staff to take no further action on an inclusionary housing policy. Mayor Pro Tem Vaughn and Council Member Berry dissented, favoring further investigation of the potential benefits and impacts. Contracts 70 C DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING STREET SWEEPING SCHEDULE ON MALVERN AVENUE NEAR THE METROLINK STATION Present for the discussion was David Jacobs, Director of Public Works Mr. Jacobs reported that the street sweeping schedule for the south side of Malvern Avenue is for Tuesdays. A request was received from a member of the public suggesting the day be changed to Friday when there are less cars parked along the avenue. A survey found that on Tuesdays there are approximately 12 unoccupied spaces, and on Friday, there were approximately 94 unoccupied spaces. Following discussion, the City Council directed staff to change to a Friday street sweeping schedule on Malvern Avenue near the Metrolink Station, taking into consideration that usage of Metrolink on Friday is Tess, creating more available alternate parking. No residential street sweeping schedules would be impacted, and the total expense to the City is approximately $ 500 for new signage. 21. DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING THE CHURCH OF THE REFLECTIONS LOCATED AT KNOTT' S BERRY FARM Present for the discussion was Jim Vanderpool, City Manager City Manager Vanderpool reported that Knott's Berry Farm is desiring to relocate its Church of Reflections in anticipation of future park expansion.

The Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is desirous of taking ownership of the Church of Reflections and keeping it available for public enjoyment as well as private events.

Baron Night, Treasurer of the Mayor' s Prayer Breakfast Committee, spoke in opposition to the manner in which the fundraising efforts are structured. Following discussion, the City Council directed there be no official City involvement in relocating Knott' s Berry Farm' s Church of Reflections to a private location; however, in sentiment, the City Council supported the efforts of private entities to do so. Mayor Pro Tem Vaughn and Mayor Swift dissented, favoring non - monetary support by the City to preserve the historical building for the benefit of the public. 22. CITY COUNCIL CALENDAR No report. 23.
