cates issued by the Orange County Housing Authority, which provides
rental subsidy to an affordable rental price range, dependent upon
household income. After that five-year period, all units must
remain available to persons 55 years and older, to be enforced by
City staff via zoning regulations, which means that in perpetuity
this project cannot have any unit occupied by anyone under 55 years
of age.
The Director responded to Councilman Edgar that the new applicant
has not requested any subsidy by the South/Central Project Area for
construction of curb, gutter and sidewalk. He added that this area

TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. I TO ORDINANCE NO. 922
FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 17432 TO 17442 MITCHELL AVENUE
Mayor Greinke initiated Council discussion on the possibility of
establishing 62 as the minimum age limit (in lieu of the present

lating in the CC&R's the number of vehicles per unit.
Yuji Naito, 14151 Newport Avenue, project owner/applicant, stated
that the 20 unit project is entirely one-bedroom, which is basi-
cally a one-to-one ratio of cars to bedrooms (with most senior
couples probably owning one car only). The project contains 24
parking spaces, and Mr. Naito noted that he is the owner of the
adjacent property where there is additional parking available in
the morning/evening hours. He added that the project is conve-
niently located to shopping centers, a grocery market, and hos-
pital, and within walking distance to those facilities. Mr. Naito
confirmed his understanding that the project is specifically for
senior citizen housing.
Council/staff discussion followed. The motion was amended by
Hoesterey, seconded by Edgar, to:
1) Introduce Ordinance No. 931;
2) Delete Condition 10 in Exhibit "A" of Ordinance No. 922 as
recommended by the Planning Commission;

Nick Ogden, 13842 Redhill Avenue, commended Council on its concern

ing twelve signatures of residents on West Main and South "B"

review I-5 Freeway widening projects, Council concurred to include

2. SENIOR CENTER PROGRESS REPORT AND DEVELOPHENT STRATEGY
Janet Schwartz, representing the Steering Committee for a Senior
Center (SCSC), expressed delight and thanks for Council's strong
and consistent supportlfora senior citizens center in Tustin.
Following consideration of the inter-com dated April 29, 1985, pre-
pared by the SCSC and City staff, it was moved by Hoesterey, sec-
onded by Kennedy, to appropriate $6,000 to complete the Design
Development Report for the Senior Center and reserve $120,000 for
design services and working drawings to be released when a matching
amount is raised by the Steering Committee for a Senior Center for
construction of the center.
The City Manager suggested that if Redevelopment monies are to be
designated as the funding source that Council express same, and
when the Agency appropriates for land acquisition that it also
appropriate funds according to Option 2.
Councilman Saltarelli expressed preference to appropriate General
Fund monies for the project and encouraged the City to move ahead
in a timely fashion to start construction of a center without fur-
ther delays, i.e. waiting for matching funds, grant funds, etc.
Councilmembers Hoesterey and Kennedy (members of the SCSC) assured
Councilman Saltarelli that the Committee did discuss ultimate
facility size vs. initial size, the architectural plan is such that
it could be a modular type of expansion in the future, and the Com-
mittee chose a site where the Center would not have to move to a
larger site in a few years, and perhaps it would be best if Council
held a workshop to bring everybody up to date as to where the proj-
ect is in terms of faci.lity design.
Councilman Edgar expressed disappointment that the report did not
contain specific dates for presentation of data regarding square
footage, number of seniors to be served, etc. The Director of Com-
munity & Administrative Services responded that staff would meet
with the Committee and consultant and report back to Council within
60 days.
The City Manager redirected discussion to funding. He explained
that if done through Redevelopment funds, money would be appropri-
ated under the Redevelopment Agency. Another alternative is to

appropriate $6,000 from the General Fund to get the project moving,
and defer on the matter of design services. He expressed concern
about allocating $120,000 from the General Fund prior to Council
review of the Fiscal Year 1985-86 Budget. Council should have the
preliminary budget prior to the design development report, and
thereby have the opportunity of having reviewed overall City pri-
orities and determine where the appropriation for the design costs
stands in relation to same.
Further Council discussion ensued. The motion was amended by
Hoesterey, seconded by Kennedy, to appropriate $6,000 from the~~
General Fund to complete the Design Development Report for the~}
Se,ior Ce.ter a,d reserve $120.000 for desig, services and worki.g
drawings for construction of the center. Carried 5-0.
Councilman Edgar noted that he will calendar the 60 days for staff
to report back to Council on July 1, 1985.
