Mayor Cormack presented Honorary Ultralight Pilot Wins to Mr. Bill Carter who has volunteered much of hrs time toward the city s rn f �A i i r,i,+ n,-.,,.,-. Ms. Naomi Nightingale, coordinator of civil service activities for Jeffalyn Johnson & Associates, said they have been contracted by the State Department of Transportation to do an ecployment study of the Century Freeway transitway. She mentioned the employment study was mandated by the courts Wand part of the Century Freeway Consent Decree, which mandates the State to conduct the study, with focus on minorities and females in particular. She invited the Council to make recoauendations regarding the report, which includes the barriers citizens of Downey may have experienced. The report is due in December. Mayor Connack announced this is the titre for continued discussion on zone Change Case #202, 11000 and 11102-08 Woodruff Avenue Mr. Cutts reported this matter was continued from October llth, and said that if the Council approves the change of zone, it would go from R1-6,000 to R-3. The original application was expanded by staff to include the condominium units located at 11000 Woodruff to bring the zoning into consistency with the City's adopted General Plan. Mr. Cutts said after discussion with the City Attorney, it was deter- mined a Code amendment establishing an overlay zone could be developed, and if so desired by the Council, staff could study the impact of such an ordinance. It was moved by Councilman Quinn to table the Zone Change and instruct staff to develop an ordinance that would enhance the possibility of hane ownership in the multiple family zone. Councilman Jackman was asked if he had listened.to the tape of the hearing on tlni.s matter, and he replied yes. He asked if it is legally possible for the Council to create a R-3 with PUD and make it binding. Council Minutes 10/25/83 -1- 13a � Mr. Newton replied it is possible to create a new overlay zone which, if applied to an area already zoned R-3, could limit development to condominiums or townhouses as distinct land use. However, he said, condominiums and townhouses do not guarantee owner -participation because an owner can rent his unit. councilman Jackman seconded the motion. A discussion was held on wheter this matter could be brought back for approval of the PUD without having to conduct another hearing. It was Mr. Newton's opinion that if the Council's action is the same as was proposed at the time the hearing was conducted and closed, then a new hearing would not have to be held. Mr. Ovrcm indicated that when this matter comes back for action, the people notified of this hearing will receive another notice. Mayor Cormack indicated he is in favor of denying the case because he is in favor of R-1. AYES: 4 Council Members: Jackman, Barb, Davila, Quinn NOES: 1 Council Member: Cormack Mr. J. D. Hallmark, 11000 Woodruff Avenue #2, said there was a letter pre- sented to the Mayor's office to correct some falsehoods regarding who made the request for zone change. He was asked what is preference would be, and he replied he would like the area to remain R-1. It was moved by Councilman Barb to reconsider the zone change and to deny. The motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Lennie Whittington 8542 Manatee, requested Agenda Item VIII-C-1, corres- pondence from Southern California Edison Company, be removed fran Consent Calendar.

He stated that if there is a condition imposed of no access to the lawn, then it should be in>posed on everyone in the City.

Responding to questions, Mr. Ralph explained Margaret Street was originally constructed in the 1920's with possibly some expectation for widening.

Council Minutes 10/25/83 -5- /73 /� Mayor COrmack suggested possibly dedicating the alley to the ajoining pro- perty owners. Counci.lum Barb feels it would be an advantage to the adjoining owners to leave it as it is. Mr. Lennie Whittington said the Hospital owns property all the way to the end of the alley.

Responding to questions, Mr. Jarrett explained there is a fee charged for re- serving the eight courts at Independence Park, and there is a pro on that site to monitor the reservations. However, there is no staff at Furman Park, and since there are only four courts there is no fee for reserving a court. He also explained that from experience by other cities, it is not profitable to install coin meters at the courts because of the vandalism that occurs. Councilman Davila mentioned the City of Inglewood has developed a meter that is difficult to vandalize, and he suggested maybe this could be looked into for installing the same type meter at the tennis courts. Mr. Jarrett was asked to study this matter with regard to consolidating the courts and installing coin meters.

ORAL CCNPWICATIONS - City Council Councilman Barb mentioned last meeting staff presented a proposal for an additional number four lane on Firestone Boulevard in front of Downey High School, known as a bus lane. He said rational was because of early morning traf is backing up at that location, and he mentioned spending two mornings at 7:30 a.m. at the location involved but he found no such problem.

It was moved by Councilman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Jaclana n, and passed by unanimous vote that the Council go on record to have the two bridges removed. Councilman Jackman cited several complaints from people living near the Freeway Corridor who cannot get Cable Te evms>_on service. He has been 1=Onrea by the Cable TV company that because of the small nuxEE of hones involved, they have not run any lines as yet.
