           Agreement No. 12,651 between American Golf Corporation (AGC) and

               Improvement Fund from the current $1 per round to 4% of total golf
               course revenues.
           2. Revises the standards set forth in the Course Maintenance,
               Performance Requirements and Golf Course Operations sections
               of the current agreement to equal the standards applied at specific
               "higher end" municipal courses. 
           3. Modifies the current Fee Schedule for years 2004 through 2006 to
               include:
               a. Revision of fees annually over the next 3 years (see
                  Attachment B of the agenda report).
               b. Revision of the Weekend Reservation Card Program (see

           Commission voted 6-1 to support the Rose Bowl Operating Company's
           recommendation to amend Agreement No. 12,651 between American
           Golf Corporation and the RBOC, and provided the following additional
           recommendations:
           1. Residents are given the option of reserving tee times one day in
               advance of non-residents if they are willing to pay the non-resident
               fee,
           2. A discounted rate to be established for golfers meeting low-income
               standards,

           4. Once new revenue sources are realized, golf course revenues

               support the City's recreation and parks program.

  A.  CONTINUED APPEAL:  APPEAL OF DESIGN COMMISSION DECISION
       TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION FOR CONCEPT DESIGN APPROVAL
       FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A SIX-STORY MIXED-USE PROJECT AT
       250 SOUTH DE LACEY AVENUE
       Recommendation of City Manager:   
       (1) Acknowledge that there are no native, landmark or specimen trees on
       the site.  As stated in the Initial Study, "there were a number of large trees on
       the subject site.  Recently, these trees were cut down to make way for the
       proposed mixed-use project.  At the time the trees were cut down, none of
       the trees were on the City's list of Native or Specimen trees.  As such, there
       will be no locally designated trees that will be removed as a result of the
       project;"
       (2) Affirm the decision of the Subdivision Committee that the initial
       environmental study concludes that the proposed project will not have any
       significant effects on the environment (Attachment E of the agenda report);
       (3) Affirm the decision of the Subdivision Committee to adopt the Negative
       Declaration (Attachment F of the agenda report);
       (4) Find that the project complies with the Citywide Design Principles in the
       Land Use Element of the General Plan; the West Gateway Specific Plan
       Design Guidelines; the Central District Design Guidelines; the Purposes of
       Design Review in Section 17.92.010 of the Zoning Code; and the Design
       Guidelines for Windows in Multi-unit Residential Projects if modified to
       comply with conditions of approval (Attachment A of the agenda report); and
       (5) Affirm the decision of the Design Commission to approve the application
       for concept design approval with the conditions listed in Attachment A of the
       agenda report, and add a new Condition 9 as outlined in the supplemental
       City Manager's memorandum.
       Recommendation of Design Commission: On January 12, 2004, the
       Design Commission considered the application for Concept Design Review. 
       There were no negative public comments, and the Commission voted
       unanimously to approve the application.  Although the staff report
       recommended a continuance because of seven design concerns, the
       Commission decided that these issues could be resolved by establishing
       appropriate conditions of approval and by tracking the progress of the project
       at a 50% review and a final design review.  The Commission approved the
       Concept Design subject to eight conditions of approval listed in Attachment A
       of the agenda report.
