playground or other quality of life amenities; 8) the future of the Civic

state approval of the architectural plans will be at the discretion of the

including barbeques in the pool area, whether the Civic Center Park will

spoke to request a skilled and trained workforce and apprenticeship

Jonathan Duran, member of the Southwest Regional Council of
Carpenters and member of Southwest Carpenters Local 805, commented
that carpenters could previously afford to buy the homes they worked on
and now are not paid a livable wage, and expressed the opinion that a
local skilled and trained workforce or apprenticeship program would assist
the community.
Mr. Brown stated, with respect to the Agreement between Mr. Betancourt
and Dr. Chiu executed in 2006, the City is not a party to the Agreement.
He stated the Agreement provided for three months of relocation
assistance and first right of refusal for an affordable housing unit in the
future project, and civil remedies would exist for the parties in a case of a
breach in the terms of the agreement. The first right of refusal for an
affordable unit would be outside of the affordable units set aside as part of
the City's project approval. Mr. Ennis provided comments on the best
approach with respect to the private contractual right that the parties to the
agreement can enforce.
The public hearing was closed at 8:45 p.m.
Ms. Saxton recapped Council direction and confirmed if the project is
recommended for approval, there would be an additional condition which
was read into the record stating, "Developer shall obtain from Calleguas
Water District pedestrian crossing at both proposed levels of the project so
as to facilitate pedestrian crossing and access across the Calleguas
pipeline easement between the two project buildings"; and in addition staff
noted that Condition Number 28 will be updated as shown in the staff
presentation. Ms. Saxton confirmed if the applicant is unable to acquire
the access required under the proposed condition, the applicant would be
required to come back to the City Council to request a modification of the
Residential Planned Development permit.
