PARKING STI~CT~ IN OLD TOWN T~STIN _ _ The Community Development Director provided a recap of the report dated August 3, 1981, prepared by the Community Develop- ment Department on the matter. Staff/Agency discussion followed. Douglas M. Gfeller, Gfeller Development Company, 2070 Business Center Drive, Irvine, spoke on the matter and requested that Agency action on the plaza be deferred to allow downtown area businessmen the opportunity to meet with Gfeller and City staff to fully explore and understand how cul-de-sacing of "C" Street will impact the downtown business area. He further requested approval of the joint parking structure. The Community Development Director concurred with Mr. Gfeller's comments relative to deferring action on the plaza. Following favorable comments on Mr. Gfeller's suggestion, it was moved b_~ Saltarelli, seconded by Edgar, to direct the City Attorney to contact Gfeller Development Company's attorneys to formulate an agreement with Gfeller Development to construct a municipally- owned parking structure over the at-grade parking facilities used by the Stevens Development. In response to Mr. Edgar, Mr. Gfeller provided clarification on financing of the project. John Prescott, 18752 E. 17th Street, Santa Ana, complimented the Agency on its accomplishments in redevelopment. Mr. Prescott made reference to a parking study conducted earlier by staff whereby a shortage of parking spaces was defined, and felt the Agency may be acting too hastily on a two-story parking structure as opposed to a three-story structure. The Community Development Director responded to Mr. Prescott's concerns regarding the downtown parking deficiency and stated that additional spaces are not currently warranted at this site and would not stimulate redevelopment in other downtown areas. The Interim City Manager indicated staff plans to present a report to the Agency at its next meeting which addresses future plans for development of downtown parking. Mr. Gfeller clarified that Gfeller Development is not requesting nor agreeable to a delay on the parking structure. The Community Development Director added that the parking structure is intended to optimize a particular block and will not attempt to meet other farther-range needs downtown. Messrs. Edgar and Saltarelli concurred. Motion carried 4-0, Kennedy absent. 81 It was moved~by Hoesterey~ seconded by___Edga~r, to adjourn at 4:28 p.m. to the next regular meeting on August 17, 1981. Carried 4T~0~, Kennedy absent. CHAIRMAN
