City Council Minutes Page 2
Monday,July 29, 1991 -830 am.
Councilman Roalman questioned how other cities have handled this issue,if low-interest mortgage bonds have
been successful, and how financial institutions address mixed use. He could support the general goalto
preserve/protect and increase the existing supply of affordable housing. Also, ?
Geor¢e Moylan.Executive Director of the Housing Authority, reviewed what he considered to be the sad state
of affairs for lending institutions toward commercial and residential projects. He-felt the requirements were
so difficult at this time it made it virtually impossible for developers.
Councilwoman Pinard suggested addressing the issue of financial practices of lending institutions and banks
as a City or County issue and urged the City to contact the League of California Cities and others for their
assistance. She also suggested providing a percentage requirement for giving residential to agricultural land.
Councilman Reiss cautioned that trying to achieve affordable housing through artificial means by holding the
supply down,could create two different and distinct classes. He felt strongly that this would create a negative
effect on the free market.
Councilwoman Rauna urged protection of existing housing stock
Brief comments were made by Charles Lon¢,John Price and Dave Smith.
10:20 a.m. Mayor Dunin declared a recess.
1035 am. City Council reconvened; all Councilmembers present

share of dwellings affordable to low-income and moderate-income residents. They supported requiring a direct
contribution to meet affordable housing needs from non-residential projects through fees and mixed use
development. Rezoning to be encouraged to provide new mobilehome parks and genreal consensus to support
in concept the Planning Commission recommendation guidelines regarding new expansion areas. Staff directed
to prepare a study looking at the financial impacts on the City,the ability of developers to fund projects,and
impacts on other housing costs. The study should identify a range of costs and options.

AUTO DEALER RELOCATION/REUSE
Glen Matteson, Associate Planner, reviewed the agenda report stating Council was being requested to reach
consensus on whether or not it wished to pursue A) an expanded Auto Row, and B) the use of downtown
properties vacated by auto dealers when they move.
Councilman Roalman expressed a concern about rezoning properties near Auto Park Row without knowledge
of whether other auto dealers are interested in moving into it.
After discussion and upon general consensus, Council supported the goal to encourage the expansion of auto
dealerships in the auto park area and not allow expansion of auto dealerships in non-auto center locations.
When dealerships move, properties will become non-conforming and lose their designated use.
AIRPORT AREA
Glen Matteson.Associate Planner,reviewed the airport area which included the unincorporated area extending
between South Higuera Street and Broad Street, north and west of the County airport, up to the Margarita
expansion areas proposed residential development. City and County General Plans have shown different
designations for much of this area because the area could have a large non-residential development capacity.
