In response to Councilmember Arkin's inquiry, Mayor Brown confirmed they have to choose a map at this meeting. In response to Councilmember Balch's inquiries, Councilmember Arkin stated she would like to incorporate Pleasanton Meadows into District 2, shift District 4 further north, and shift District 3 further east. She added this may have to put Val Vista back into District 1. She doubted whether the many ripple effect changes could be performed successfully. Councilmember Arkin moved to approve the Tangerine Plan. Councilmember Testa seconded the motion. In response to Councilmember Narum's inquiries, Mr. Wagaman clarified Bondi Ranch is kept whole by the Tangerine Plan, but Lund Ranch is split. He added it also splits downtown and creates a small split of Val Vista but one which only incorporates the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office and does not impact any population. He confirmed the Tangerine Plan does split a neighborhood. Councilmember Balch stated he does not like the Tangerine Plan. He stated Heritage Park, Danbury Park, Rosepark are more akin to District 2 than District 4. He added he has a significant challenge separating Bondi Ranch and Lund Ranch from Mission Hills. He questioned how they can even consider the Tangerine Plan when they are splitting districts down two-lane residential Independence Drive. He stated he cannot support the Tangerine Plan. Councilmember Balch made a substitute motion to approve the Lime Plan. Councilmember Narum seconded the substitute motion. MOTION: It was m/s by Balch/Narum to approve the Lime Plan as recommended and as noted. Motion failed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Balch, Narum Noes: Councilmembers Arkin, Testa, Mayor Brown Absent: None Councilmember Arkin stated the Bondi Ranch situation in the Tangerine Plan does not bother her because of the census block. In response to Councilmember Arkin's inquiry, Mr. Wagaman stated during the live drawing exercise they were close to having a full district rotation to include Danbury Park and its surrounding neighborhoods into the Tangerine Plan's District 2. He provided multiple possibilities adding they would have to further explore if it were possible. He suggested possibly moving Parkside and Amberwood Meadows into District 1. Mayor Brown stated Ironwood Village is an age-restricted gated community but the core of the Ironwood neighborhood off of Mohr Avenue features very large homes. She noted the other communities in the area are smaller bringing this section of town diversity and income variance. In response to Mayor Brown's inquiry, Councilmember Arkin stated by school boundaries, these neighborhoods fall into District 2. Councilmember Balch suggested keeping Ironwood in District 4 and moving the others to District 2 expressing concerns about the sound walls. He added this could help reduce the shifting. Mr. Wagaman stated the Tangerine Plan may not be the best vehicle for these changes. He suggested using the Cherry Plan, shifting downtown into District 4 and the area south of downtown into District 3 City Council Minutes Page 9 of 14 February 24, 2022
