CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNI~ COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 19, 1995
Mrs. Stipkovich then introduced Mr. Hank Cunningham, Consultant, who worked
with staff on the strategy and who had previous discussions with Council
Members. The Economic Development Strategy before the Council today is
coordinating all of that input.
Mr. Hank Cunningham, Cunningham & Associates. It was a pleasure for him to be
present today and to have served as Economic Development Consultant for the
City for much of the 1995 calendar year. He then gave a slide presentation,
hard copies of which were submitted (Economic Development Strategy - 1995-
2000). Topics covered were - goals and objectives, the 1990 Strategy and
measurements of success and accomplishments including s~ecific success
stories, Anaheim's strategic attributes, and existing areas of excellence.
(Council Member Feldhaus entered the Council Chamber - 3=30 P.M.)
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Develolanent. Continuing with
the slide presentation, topics covered by Mrs. Stipkovich - 1995-2000 Strategy
-additional programs, BIZ, "Business Incentive Zone", the Canyon Business
Center, Anaheim Redevelopment Agency Alpha Project Tax Increment History,
Commercial Boulevards Program, expansion of the Small Business Program, new
area of excellence (telecommunications/information technology sector), digital
telecommunications system, fiber optics route. She noted that Mr. Aghjayan,
Public Utilities Director and his staff are present to answer any questions
relative to the telecommunications program.
Mrs. Stipkovich concluded with a slide listing the new programs started and
those they would like to start in this fiscal year. She also referred to the
Rating Form submitted (Rating Form - Economic Development Criteria for
Financial Assistance) prepared with the help of Mr. Cunningham indicating what
staff feels the criteria are in asking for policy direction. She also asked
if the Council would like staff to use that form or modify it in any way.
Mayor Daly. He noted .that the five-year plan was submitted in the material
presented which goes into more details. It is clear that the plan will build
on the recent successes of the City's Economic Development Strategies. He
noted that the plan is on the regular agenda today for action under both the
Redevelolanent Agency and the City Council.
Questions followed by Council Members which were answered by Mrs. Stipkovich
and Mr. Aghjayan. Council Member Tait suggested that staff include among
Anaheim's strategic attributes its freeway frontage/access points and its
abundant water supply so that the City is not as dependent on the Metropolitan
Water District (MWD) as are other cities~ Mrs. Stipkovich. Those can be added
to their slide presentation. She agrees those are two additional pluses.
Mayor Daly and Council Members thanked staff and Mr. Cunningham for the
informative presentation.
City Manager Ruth. Kristine Thalman, the City's Intergovernmental Relations
Officer will review with the City Council the feasibility of the proposed COG
(Council of Governments), a regional planning council. The League of
California Cities has been working on the proposal for several months. The
presentation today is to give an overview, possibly forming the council in
Orange County and hopefully getting the City Council's support at the January
9, 1996 Council meeting.

C~TY OF 2t~%HE~ C~L~FORN~ COUNCIL M~NUTE8 DECEI~BER ~9~ L995
Council Member Lopez. He asked what kind of recycling would be involved
noting that this is across the street from the Probation Department and near
Carl Karcher Enterprises.
Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager. This is actually a relocation of
Sunwest Metals without increasing what they do and have done at the other
location, i.e., recycling of glass, paper, household type recyclables, etc.,
but no hazardous waste. There is a building on the front of the property
which would screen what is going on in the back side of the property. It is
across the street from a small office complex and around the corner from Carl
Karcher Enterprises.
Council Member Lopez. That is his concern. He feels they are trying to
beautify certain areas and this proposal does not fit in with what they are
trying to do. He would like to set the matter for a hearing.
Council Member Zemel. Before possibly doing so, knowing something about the
property, it borders Anaheim-Fullerton Towing Company. There are also like
uses in the area. Staff has already recommended this be approved
conditionally.
Greg Hastings then gave additional details of the proposal~ Council Member
Zemel. Sunwest has been located in Anaheim for some time. This has been part
of the overall plan of trying to keep businesses in the City. He asked about
the City's relationship with Sunwest at the other location.
Greg Hastings. At one time, there has been Code Enforcement action, but it is
staff's understanding that in the last two years there have been no
complaints.
Council Member Zemel. He is aware that in order for Sunwest to make this
move, the business had to apply for financing in order to complete it because
it is a larger area. -The company needs to know whether it is going in or not.
They are being relocated because of the I-5 project. He does not want to have
the Council unjustly use their power to have a hearing just to have a hearing.
They are trying to keep businesses in the City and he believes it is the only
place in the City where Sunwest can relocate. The company is liable to
relocate outside the City if the project is delayed and he wants to avoid
that.
Council Member Lopez. He does not know how surrounding property owners feel
about the proposal especially Karcher Enterprises.
Mayor Daly. This is not the appropriate time to debate all of the pros and
cons. He shared some of the concerns expressed by Council Member Lopez but
notes this is a 1.5 acre parcel with about 115' of frontage along Lemon.
There also appears to be substantial landscaping to be installed along that
property line and it anticipates the widening of Lemon Street. He asked staff
to clarify the placement of the fence and the fact that the recyclable
materials will not be visible from the street.
These issues were addressed by Joel Fick, Planning Director and Mr. Hastings.
Mr. Fick also pointed out that there was an added condition by the Planning
Co~mission (Condition No. 3) requiring during the first year of operation the
owner shall pay the cost for bi-monthly Code Enforcement inspections to check
compliance with the conditions of approval so that there will actually be Code
Enforcement monitoring above and beyond the norm. It was also noted that
there was no opposition to the proposal.
13
C~TY OF AN~E~H~ C~L~FORNI~ COUNCIL H~NUTES DECEIVER Lg~ L995
Council Member Lopez. Staff has answered his questions and concerns. He no
longer has any opposition especially since notice was given to surrounding
property owners and businesses with no opposition from them as well. He
thereupon withdrew his request that the matter be set for a Public Hearing.

Property is approximately 2.7 acres situated approximately 644 feet
south of La Palma Avenue, abutting the Santa Ana River, having a
frontage of approximately 20 feet (access easement) on the south side of
La Palms Avenue, having a maximum depth of approximately 869 feet, and
being located approximately 1,920 feet west of the centerline of
Imperial Highway.
TO permit an approximately 38-foot high roof-mounted cellular
communications antenna.
ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION~
CUP NO. 3806 GRANTED (PC95-156) (5 yes votes, 2 absent).
Approved Negative Declaration.
Mayor Daly. He asked if the 38' cellular tower meant 38' above the roof or
38' total.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. That is total height. The tower is actually
only 13' 6" high from the existing building roof line. It is also not visible
from the streets as well. There are other existing towers in the area. This
building is owned and occupied by Pacific Bell (Pac Bell). It is consistent
with staff's desire to locate these facilities within or attached to buildings
wherever possible.
14
C~TY OF ~t~NAHE~ C~L~FORN~ COUNCIL N~NUTEB DECEMBER Lg~ L995
Mayor Daly. He expressed his concern that Pac Bell takes more liberties in
Anaheim than any other City. He feels no City would have allowed the huge
tower that is in downtown Anaheim built 15 years ago. He is wondering how and
when they are going to be able to stop the installation of facilities with no
mitigation by Pac Bell. The downtown tower ruined the skyline of old
neighborhoods in Anaheim and Pac Bell has never taken any steps to beautify
the tower. Now, the City has to beg Pac Bell to fix it up and do some minimal
beautification that any reasonable corporation would l>erform. He does not
know why they keep allowing Pac Bell carte blanche to do what they want. He
does not know if any Council Members share his concern. He would like to set
the matter for a Public Hearing.
Council Member Lopez. He will second the Mayor's request to set the matter
for a hearing.
Mayor Daly stated it is necessary to get cooperation for Pac Bell on the issue
of aesthetics in the City.
Council Member Zemel noted that this is only a 13' antenna. He asked the
height of the ones the Council has been approving. This does not sound like
any of the others that have been approved but a much smaller one~ Mr. Fick
answered the range is from 40' to 100'
Mayor Daly. Pac Bell wants to install approximately 500 boxes in the
neighborhoods of Anaheim to service their new fiber optics installation. He
feels they need to know what that corporation is doing to the aesthetics of
Anaheim, not that he would eventually oppose this but that they get something
in return aesthetically.
Joel Fick. He clarified for the Council that he expects to have a finalized
master plan of current and proposed antenna installations during the month of
January.
Since the matter was set for a Public Hearing by the Mayor and concurred in by
Council Member Lopez, a Public Hearing will be scheduled at a later date.

CITY OF ANAHEIMv CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER Lgv 1995
Council Member Zemel. There have been parking problems relative to this
property. He knows there is a potential of using the TRW lot as co-parking
for the two. He asked if that was going to happen.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. There is still active discussion'with
Redevelopment staff on the issue. There is a new tenant just west of that
facility and there are on-going discussions. This iea minor application.
The proposal is a Juice Stop. A lot of the parking concerns on the property
have been improved with the opening of the parking structure behind
Cinemapolis. The two property owners are cooperatively working together.
Also, with the prospect of active negotiations on the parking, the situation
looks promising.
Council Member Zemel. His concern is adding another fast food operation to
the already existing parking problem.
John Lower, Traffic and Transportation Manager. In previous discussions, they
were looking at the possibility of shared property with the commercial
property to the south of Cinemapolis and Imperial Promenade. With the recent
installation of the traffic signal which started operation about a week ago,
that is again a possibility.
Mr. Fick also confirmed that staff's recommendation to the Planning Commission
was a positive one.

ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION:
CUP NO. 3792 APPROVED revised site plan (PC95-162) (7 yes votes).
Approved waiver of code requirement.
Negative Declaration previously approved.
Council Member Feldhaus. He is trying to determine whether the code is too
lax or too restrictive on parking. In this case, 159 spaces are required but
30 spaces are proposed.
John Lower, Traffic and Transportation Manager. The City's code for
warehouses is very high. It is grouped with industrial. The intent is to
review the matter and to have a much lower rate for warehouse use. In this
case, there was a parking study supplemented with field investigations and
subsequently the recommendation was approval of the parking waiver.
Council Member Lopez. His concern is that this is the only storage facility
he has seen on Lincoln west of Anaheim Boulevard. It does not fit in with the
things they are trying to do in the west end of Anaheim.
Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager. He believes the reason why the
applicant chose the site, the property was too deep to have commercial use in
the back. The storage facility is right at the rear property line and is a
buffer to the apartments. To his knowledge, this is the only storage facility
on Lincoln. The closest is Manchester.

CITY OF ANItHEIMv CALIFORNIA COUNCIL XINUTE8 DECEMBER 19v 1995
Council Member Lopez. He will not support it and would like to hear what the
people on the west end have to say.
Council Member Zemel. Before doing so, he asked if this project is allowed by
right under current zoning or does it require a CUP.
Greg Hastings. This requires a C.U.P. Self-storage in a commercial zone
requires a C.U.P. and in a commercial center with three or more units also
requires a C.U.P.
Mayor Daly. He asked if staff was comfortable with all the mitigations. The
project meets code and has adequate landscaping; Mr. Hastings answered yes.
Council Member Feldhaus seconded the request of Council Member Lopez and,
therefore, a Public Hearing will be held at a later date.
Council Member Feldhaus asked that the Council be given a Planning Commission
Action Agenda on this item; Council Member Lopez asked that the Beach

CITY OF ~NAHE~ C~LIFORNIA COUNCIL H~NUTE8 DECEMBER Lg~ L995
HEARING SET ON= A review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested
by Council Members Daly and Tait at the meeting of November 14, 1995, and a
public hearing scheduled this date.
PUBLIC NOTICE REOUIREMENTS MET
Publication in Anaheim Bulletin - December 7, 1995.
Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - December 7, 1995.
Posting of property - Dece~er 8, 1995.
PLANNING STAFF INPUT=
See staff report to the Planning Commission dated October 30, 1995.
Mayor Daly. His concern was brought up by Council Member Tait on another such
application, that it is a good policy to set some type of time limit on any of
the installations, especially the ones that are quite tall. This will keep
the applicant on notice so that as technology evolves they will take the
opportunity to replace the tower with something more modern and not so
intrusive. He is going to suggest a ten-year time frame. If the technology
has not changed enough and the applicant wants to reapply, they could do so at
the time. He also wants to be certain that the School District was mutually
supportive.
Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager. The School District signed the
original application. He believes there is a lease with the School District.
Mayor Daly opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Joe Milone, AirTouch Cellular, 3 Park Plaza, Irvine. This is a
replacement for the existing tower. AirTouch is in the process of launching a
new power-band cellular service. This is a change in the pole one for one.
It is structurally stronger and the additional antennas will be placed lower.
He confirmed they do lease the space from the School District and it is a 20-
year lease. They are not opposed to a time limit. It is fair and they can
live with that. A request he does have is with the time limit if there is the
possibility of having it be a staff level review in 10 years rather than a
Public Hearing process. There was nobody at the Planning Commission hearing
in October in opposition. The School District is in support. If technology
does not change in 10 years, it would save time and money if it could be a
staff level review.
Mr. Milone then described the pole and its components for Council Member Zemel
as well as describing the surrounding land uses.
Mayor Daly. He asked the City Attorney's advice relative to the staff level
review rather than a definitive time limit.
City Attorney White. He does not believe that is technically feasible and
still have a limit on the permit. That is the difference between a review and
a limitation. The language he has just written out would suggest a new
Condition 9 that "would provide that this C.U.P. shall expire years
from the date of the resolution at which time both the monopole and the
equipment shall be removed unless a new C.U.P. has been approved therefor."
That would require a new Public Hearing.
Mayor Daly. The planning staff recommended five years and the Planning
Co=~ission chose not to act on that. Perhaps they are leaving it up to the
Council to set policy.
21
CTTY OF ~NAHETM, CALTFORNTA COUNCTL MTNUTES DECEMBER 19, L995
Joel Flck, Planning Commission. What the Planning Commission did in lieu of
five years, they imposed the two conditions which he believes the Council
added in one other application -- that if antennas were ever lowered relative
to their location on the monopole, that the monopole itself had to be lowered
in height and that the monopole and equipment shall be removed from the site
at such time it is no longer in operation. Staff is still supportive of a
time limit. One thing that was not clear in the testimony, the pole replaces
an existing 100' pole that exists there now. He confirmed for the Mayor that
it does have more apparatus on it.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, Mayor Daly closed the
Public Hearing.
Council Member Tait. He agrees with some outside time limit. It provides
some incentive to remove it later on. He believes on the last application
they set a time limit of 12 years and in order to be consistent, the Council
could impose the same here. He would support either 10 or 12 years.
Council Member Zemel. He had a concern with this request and the matter which
was set for a Public Hearing, the difference being, this pole is 116' and the
other a 13' pole whip antenna. Staff has recommended approval of both. He
would urge some consistency in this area.
Council Member Lopez. He would support 10 years on this application.
City Attorney White. In offering the resolution, a condition should then be
added that the permit shall terminate 10 years from the date of the resolution
ant that the pole and equipment be removed unless a new C.U.P. is approved. A
10-year limit replaces the need for an administrative review.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATIONs On motion by Mayor Daly,
seconded by Council Member Tait, the City Council approved the negative
declaration upon finding that it has considered the negative declaration
together with any comments received during the public review process, and

CITY OF AN~IM, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 19; 1995
Council Member Zemel. He has opposed the application only on the grounds that
the Master Plan Study is not complete and there are possible health concerns
not yet answered by staff.
Mayor Daly noted that members of the public had entered the Council Chamber
after Items of Public Interest. He explained that generally, public comments
are invited at the start of the meeting. He asked if they were present to
speak on an issue.
149: OVERFLOW pARKXNG ON BLUEBELL -- ORANGEWOOD/HASTER AREAs Mr. Frank
McCormick approached the podium and stated they wanted to know what kind of
action the Council is taking on the overparking on Bluebell.
Mayor Daly. The Council has received a few calls and letters on the issue. A
ban on street parking was approved in the Leatrice-Wakefield-Mountain View
neighborhood near Mr. McCormick's neighborhood. As he understands, staff was
looking at some type of permit parking plan or some other steps to help
residents deal with the overflow parking because of the parking ban in the
next block.
Frank McCormick. They are concerned about so many people parking on their
street and also leaving their trash behind. They are also concerned about
having strangers walking around their neighborhood.
Mayor Daly. Council will ask staff to bring forward a schedule for bringing
about some closure to the situation. One of the steps will be an analysis of
the permit parking system that he had previously spoken about with Mr.
McCormick when he was contacted by him. Traffic Engineering has sent a
response back to one of Mr. McCormick's neighbors. In order to institute
permit parking, all or most of the neighbors will have to agree.
Council Member Tait. He asked if this is a result of the parking ban in the
Orangewood-Haster neighborhood~ Mr. McCormick confirmed that was correct.
City Manager Ruth. Under current City Council policy, 75% of the affected
homeowners would have to sign the petition for permit parking. Staff would be
more than happy to work with the neighborhood. He knows that Traffic and Code
Enforcement as well as the Police Department have been working on the matter.
They will get back to Mr. McCormick in the next couple or three days.
Mayor Daly. Mr. Peters has also been a spokesman for the residents and he
(Daly) know that he has talked to Traffic Engineering staff on the matter.

businesses in the City and the blue team to work with businesses in existence
