Mayor Kurth stated that the staff report and public hearings for Items N2 - N6 would be considered
together.
Candyce Burnett, Senior Planner, presented the staff report.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Michael, Ms. Burnett confirmed that the one of the changes was
transferring the residential density from one location to another. Discussion was held with the City
Council regarding the current location of the residential units, the proposed height and the desire to
keep Victoria Gardens a vibrant community with flexibility in design and housing options.
Mayor Kurth opened the public hearing.
Brian Wynne, Project Manager for Forest City, addressed the amendments. Forest City is not
seeking to increase or decrease the number of units allowed but would like to relocate 290 units to
the Main Street area. He addressed the two height zones, noted that the specifics would be placed
on a Council agenda at a later date and stressed the need for flexibility in the development of
Victoria Gardens.
In response to Councilmember Spagnolo, Mr. Wynne indicated that the movement of the residential
units into the Main Street area would create a successful downtown feel. The ideal mix of uses
should include a residential component to be successful. Mr. Wynne did not know what type of
housing component would eventually be placed at Victoria Gardens. He indicated that a marketing
study would be needed to determine the best fit for the project.
In response to Mayor Kurth, the Planning Director confirmed that tall buildings should be safely
constructed. Linda Daniels, Redevelopment Director, indicated that up to 600 units were
contemplated in the area adjacent to Victoria Gardens. As 310 condominiums were eventually built,
the amendment moves the 290 excess housing units to another location.
Mrs. Daniels responded to Councilmember Gutierrez and stated that the Shay property was not
part of this project. Mayor Pro Tem Michael noted that approval of these amendments would
provide the framework for Forest City to submit a proposal. He noted that public hearings were held
by the Planning Commission, who has recommended approval of this matter.
Councilmember Gutierrez enjoyed Victoria Gardens and wondered if the larger structures would
negatively impact the feel of the center. In response, Mr. Wynne concurred that it would be a design
challenge but indicated that it could be done. Councilmember Gutierrez hoped that a spectacular
feature could be developed in this next phase. He requested that the parking problem and traffic
circulation be addressed.
Ed Dietl inquired why the taller buildings could not be developed in the area currently occupied by
the condominiums.

John Lyons expressed concerns with parking and stated that the area needs to accommodate
vehicles with trailers and boats.
Jerie Lee expressed concerns with developing new residential units, noting that water and parking
would need to be provided.
John Anicic addressed traffic problems at the corner, noting that there are major traffic problems
now. He felt that more homes would add to the problem.
In response, James Troyer, Planning Director, stressed that more footage was not being added.
600 homes were originally conceived for this area and an environmental impact report was done.
Jerie Lee expressed a concern with moving the residential units into the Main Street area.
Mayor Kurth closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Williams concurred with the proposed amendments and hoped that the economy
would improve so that residential units could be built. She noted that parking would be a crucial
issue and inquired how the parking problem would be addressed. In response, the Redevelopment
Director addressed various parking scenarios, noting that whatever is planned would need to
address the parking requirements.

billboards in the middle of the City and place a billboard adjacent to the I-15 freeway.

and for providing space on the message display board for City messages.
In response to Councilmember Spagnolo, it was noted that it would take about six months to
construct the billboard. The land that the current billboards are at would remain intact.
Mayor Kurth opened the public hearing.
Jim Witch indicated that he was present on behalf of the applicant to answer any questions.
In response to Councilmember Gutierrez, Mr. Witch stated that if all of the advertising spaces were
not sold, the company would provide additional time to the City. He confirmed to Mayor Pro Tem
Michael that the City would always receive six seconds per minute of advertising time on the
billboard.
In response to John Lyons, it was noted that this company did not own the land that the gas station
occupies.
