was received and filed.
2. MODIFICATION OF APPROVED USES OF OWNER PARTI IPATI N A REEMENT -
H ME FURNISHINQ CENTER SHIRLEY YU G00.40
Written Communication:
Report dated April 20, 1993, from the Executive Director, regarding the request from Paseo Capistrano
Limited Partnership/Shirley Yu for the Agency to approve a modification to the Owner Participation
Agreement to allow a family entertainment center -type business, which is a nonconforming use, within
the Plaza Del Obispo Home Furnishing Center. The proposed tenant, Beach Ball Fun House, an indoor
playland with tunnels, bubble balls, turbo slides, climbing equipment, ropes, netting, and restaurant,
would occupy a 5,000 -square -foot area within the center. The applicant based the request on her
inability to lease space to home furnishing tenants and the difficulty such uses have had during these:
recessionary times. Staff recommended that the use be approved, subject to conditions regarding
parking.
Mr. Scarborough made an oral presentation. He recommended that this item be continued to the next
meeting to allow more time for several businesses to review this proposal and provide comments to staff
and the Board of Directors prior to Board action.
Director Hausdorfer recommended that in the interim, parking issues be addressed as well as any
concerns raised by other businesses. He felt that the project would be positive for the community but
needed additional research. Director Jones concurred and requested that any fmancial considerations
for this project be related to the Home Furnishing Center instead of the Price Club Center. Director
Vasquez felt this was a sign of the times; that markets change and intended uses change. He felt this
type of business would provide a positive environment for families and was glad to see it being

considered. Chairman Nash expressed concerns with modifying the uses originally approved for the
center (high-end furniture stores) since that was the agreement with the property owners as well as the
tenants in the center. Although she felt that the Beach Ball Fun House would be a welcome use in
the community, it might be detrimental to the existing stores in the proposed location since it would not
attract the appropriate clientele for the furniture stores. Since it might also discourage other top-quality
furniture stores from locating in the center, she felt the proposed use would be more compatible in
another center. In addition, the use could set a precedent for other similar uses to locate in the center.
She suggested that the agreement include other tenants as well as the property owner since the existing
stores should be considered first.
Continuation of em:
It was moved by Director Hausdorfer, seconded by Director Campbell, and unanimously carried that
this item be continued to the meeting of May 4, 1993, to allow further review by area businesses.
3. REQUEST TO RECEIVE NEW BIDS - LITTLE HOLLYWOOD REHABILITATION.
PHASE I (NIEBLAS HOUSEI AWK HOUSE YORBA HOUSE), (.6(8.10)
Director Jones advised that although he lived within 2,500 feet of this project, he would vote in this
matter because he felt the project would not have a significant impact on the value of his property and
would, therefore, not be a conflict of interest.
Written Communication:
Report dated April 20, 1993, from the Planning Director, recommending that staff be authorized to
receive new bids for the rehabilitation of three homes in the Little Hollywood area. Two bids for this
project were received March 1, 1993. The low bidder subsequently requested that its bid be dropped.
The second bid exceeded the pre-bid estimate and was found unacceptable in accordance with the Public
Construction Act, §20658.2.
Authorization to Receive New Bids:
It was moved by Director Hausdorfer, seconded by Director Campbell, and unanimously carried that
staff be authorized to receive new bids for the Little Hollywood Rehabilitation, Phase I.
