Statement for inclusion in the City Council Policy Manual:
It is the policy of the City Council that all City

temporary units by community service and nonprofit
organizations.
In considering such a request, the commissions and
boards should recognize the possible benefits which
would be provided to the community by allowing the
use of the temporary units. Such requests may
include: (1) Allowing the organization to establish
its presence prior to or during the processing of
building plans and construction of permanent facilities;
and/or (2) During an interim period when existing facilities
are being expanded to meet increased community needs. When
considering such requests, commissions and boards may apply
reasonable conditions that would insure the architectural
compatibility with surrounding areas and replacement of the
temporary units with a permanent facility.
APPEAL OF ARCHITECTURAL BOARD OF REVIEW ACTION, LIGHT
STANDARD AND MONUMENT SIGN ALTERNATES (JIM SLEMONS HONDA)
(67) Appeal:
An appeal of the June 16, 1982, action of the Architectural
Board of Review in denying requested modifications to the
approved lighting and monument sign program for the Jim
Slemons Honda project to be located adjacent to Camino
Capistrano. The original approval was granted on February 3rd.

Project Manager, Himes/Peters Architects and Associates,
Inc., 119 E. Alton, Santa Ana, California 92707,
representing Jim Slemons Honda, in opposition to the
Architectural Board of Review decision.
Exhibits were on display, and the Director of Community
Planning and Development provided background information
on the light standard styles and the request for an interior
lighted monument sign.
Discussion:
Thomas O'Keefe, 2323 North Broadway, Santa Ana, Attorney
representing the appellant, advised that the intent is to
have the lights on only during hours of operation, with
security lighting only thereafter; shields are to be placed on
the lights to prevent light overflow to adjoining properties.
Jeff Pawlowski, Himes/Peters Architects, spoke in support of
the requested 17' high light standards for the lot area;
advised that decorative fixtures would be installed along the
front of the property; requested issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy; and, advised that the approved fixtures were
submitted by the firm's lighting expert but not approved by
the owner.
Withdrawal of Request for Sign Modifications:
Mr. O'Keefe withdrew the request for modifications to the
approved monument sign and requested that the company be
permitted to open for business with interior lights only and
not the car lot lighting.
Fred Grittiger, lighting representative from E1 Toro, spoke
in support of the requested Auto King light standards with
400 watt lighting lowered to 20 feet as minimal.
Carolyn Nash, representing the Architectural Board of Review,
advised that the Board approval was with the understanding
that deflectors would be installed and that the light poles
would be 10 feet high to the bottom of the lamp.
Councilman Bland cited concerns with unnecessary exterior
lighting and supported decorative fixtures with the light
confined to the property, 400 watt lamps, and hours of
lighting restricted.
Conditional Denial of Appeal:
It was moved by Councilman Friess, seconded by Councilman
Schwartze to uphold the decision of the Architectural
Board of Review, including the condition requiring installation
of light deflectors and security lighting only allowed after
business hours. The motion was amended to direct staff to
cooperate with the issuance of a Use and Occupancy Permit
prior to installation of the light fixtures and to allow the
applicant to request Council review of the lighting after
installation. Council concurred with the amendment, and the
motion carried with Councilman Bland voting in the negative.

Center;
(2) Alternate B, a Consolidated Off -Site Directional Sign
Program;
(3) Alternate C, Individual Off -Site Tract Directional
Signs.
Application of Programs:
There was a consensus of Council that any approved sign
program would apply only to developments located within the
City limits.
Discussion:
AA motion Councilman Bland and seconded by Councilman
Schwartze to approve Alternate B was subsequently withdrawn.
Councilman Hausdorfer suggested an off-site program be
initiated for a 90 to 120 -day trial period. Warren James,
representing Bear Brand Ranch Company, supported Alternate
C. Tom Jenks, Valle Pacifica, stated that the majority of
homes are purchased by persons driving by developments.
Preparation of Urgency Ordinance:
It was moved by Councilman Schwartze, seconded by Councilman
Friess and unanimously carried that staff be directed to
prepare an urgency ordinance for submittal to Council on
August 3; the ordinance is to include the concepts contained
in Alternates B and C.
Proposed Flag Program:
A motion by Councilman Schwartze and seconded by Councilman
Hausdorfer supporting an urgency ordinance, effective for 90
days to allow 6 flags in front of each development by permit,
failed to pass. It was moved by Councilman Hausdorfer,
seconded by Councilman Friess and unanimously carried that
staff be directed to submit an on-site flag program for
Council consideration on August 3rd.

AD HOC COMMITTEE
CONSIDERATION OF CITY OPERATION OF
(23) Written communications:
(1) Report dated July 20, 1982, from the Ad Hoc Equestrian
Facility Committee requesting Council review of the
proposed concept for installation of a municipal stable
facility on property in the vicinity of Avenida Siega
and Calle Arroyo.
(2) Supplementary Memorandum dated July 19, 1982, from the
Director of Public Works correcting statements in the
above Report and clarifying the February 3, 1981,
Council action in approving equestrian use at the site.
Discussion:
Councilman Friess, member of the ad hoc committee, reviewed
the issues involved with regard to costs and extent of
improvements, limiting boarding fees to $100 per month and
economic feasibility, lease back concept, recreation classes,
and enhancements to Cook Park such as parking areas, water
lines, and landscaping, and bid procedures. Mayor Buchheim
cited concerns with the possibility of competing with private

enterprise and favored utilizing the stable for recreation
programs. Councilman Hausdorfer stated that the City's
commitment to the equestrian lifestyle commenced with the
General Plan and that incorporating programs on a pay-as-
you-go basis would be consistent and not in competition with
private enterprise. Mr. Friess advised that the lease
provides for six horses to be available for instruction;
there are no provisions for a rental string of horses; the
equipment has an estimated lifespan of 15 years and the
equipment and improvements would be paid for over a 10 -year
period of time; the facility would pay for itself. Councilman
Bland noted that equestrian use should be available to more
people. Mayor Buchheim suggested limiting facility use to
City residents; Councilman Hausdorfer noted that residents
should have a priority, but that the operation must be
profitable and requested comment from the Equestrian Commission.
Jill Hanna, committee member representing the Equestrian
Commission, stated that the facility is one of the few
projects in the City that would generate funds; with the
lease back concept, improvements would be paid for by the
operator; an opportunity exists for the City to work positively
with a full equestrian program.
Approval of Concept:
It was moved by Councilman Hausdorfer, seconded by Councilman
Schwartze and unanimously carried to approve the concept of
the City constructing and operating a boarding stable in C.
Russell Cook Park at the present site of Wagon Wheel Stables
and Mission Trail Stables with direction to the committee to
work with a 5 -year pay off plan; staff was directed to
commence processing development plans.
