and mailing the notices were in her file. The Mayor directed that
the files become a part of this hearing, and then inquired if any
written communications had been received. The City Clerk responded
that none had been received in her office.
Associate Planner Cosin reported this project exceeded the height
limit for M -1 zone, but was permissible under the precise plan regu-
lations; that the Traffic Study showed that traffic would exceed the
existing capacity of Imperial Highway, that the project would aggra-
vate the traffic; and that the Commission had approved a variance

Code.
Advised that the Commission recommended certification of the Negative
Declaration prepared for the project and approval of the Plan.
The Mayor inquired if anyone present wished to speak regarding this
project.
Mr. John Kilroy, Jr. Executive vice - presendent of Kilroy Industries,
described the proposed project, responded to Council's inquiries and
called upon others involved in this project to make further presenta-
tions.
Mr. Paul Curran of Kober Associates, Architects, presented plans of a
development that would fully meet the City's code, but was undesirable
because of the total coverage of the property and the subterranean
garage. Described the proposed plan as a more attractive development
with landscaping and less office space.
Mr. Donald Frischer of Donald Frischer Associates, Traffic Engineers,
described the method of compiling the traffic study and stated he felt
confident it would meet all the City's requirements.
Mr. Kilroy described plans for encouraging the tenants of the building
- use Public transportation, car and van pools.
Mr. Richard F. Roti, Consultant of International Parking Designs, Inc.,
stated the trend now is that greater numbers of compact cars are travel-
ing in this area and suggested that possibly the municipal codes have
not kept up with the times. Advised that the parking structure is well
in excess of the building's needs.
The Mayor inquired if anyone else present wished to speak on this subject.
Mr. Adam Falvai, 328 East Imperial Avenue, stated if the project did
not meet the requirements of the code, he was then against it and it
should not be allowed; that code requirements should not be bent for
the developer's benefit; that the variance powers of the Council and
Commission seem to'be abused. Asked the Council to reconsider the
excessive height of this project.
No further response being heard, motion was made by Councilman Bue,
seconded by Councilman Siadek, that the hearing be closed. Motion
carried.
The Council discussed traffic problems, parking and code requirements.
Thereafter, motion was made by Councilman Siadek, seconded by Council-
man Bue, that the Negative Declaration for Precise Plan No. 2 -81 be
certified. Motion carried with Councilman Armstrong voting no.
Mr. Kilroy questioned certain conditions in the Council resolution
that differed from the Planning Commission resolution that he had not
been aware of until now.

City Attorney Stone described the changes and the reasons for making
them.

Council resolution, "Prior to the issuance of a building permit,
Developer shall enter into an agreement for reimbursement of a pro-
portionate share of costs of the storm drain, if appropriate, based
upon an engineering study approved by the City." Advised that good
faith must be shown by both parties; that the City is asking Mr.
Kilroy to advance money for the storm drain line without provisions
for future reimbursement; the language does not commit either the
City or developer to any specific percentages and, therefore, further
negotiating will be required.
Mr. Kilroy stated he would like the Council to vote on this tonight
with the changes proposed, providing there is an understanding that
there will be further negotiations with the City.
Motion was made by Councilman Siadek, seconded by Councilman Bue,
