A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was
posted at 1:33 p.m. on May 7, 1993 at the Civic Center kiosk, containing all
items as shown herein.
Mayor Daly called the workshop portion of the meeting of May 11, 1993 to order
at 3:10 p.m.
City Manager James Ruth. He asked the Code Enforcement Manager, John Poole to
be present to give an overview of the proposed apartment program. He has had
several meetings with the various groups in the community. It is also part of
the Gang and Drug Task Force recommendation.
107: MULTIPLE FAMILY REGISTRATION INSPECTION PROGRAM:
John Poole, Code Enforcement Manager. The purpose today is to brief the
Council on the program and subsequently get some direction from the Council on
how they would like staff to proceed. The Council was previously informed of
the program in a memo in April. They will continue to hold public meetings
during the next two months and take the matter to the Planning Commission thus
ensuring adequate time for public input. They have received a number of
letters in opposition. He has talked to a lot of the neighborhood Council
people and apartment owners and there is also sentiment for the program. Some
of the people who have written letters have told him they are in favor.
Mr. Poole then briefed and in some cases elaborated upon the information
contained in his May 6, 1993, three page report - such issues as the potential
of a change in the occupancy ordinance in certain areas of the City;
increasing Code Enforcement staff to provide focused enforcement; discussions
of the conceptual inspection program with community and real estate groups
which have an interest in rental housing and suggestions received; the
possibility of using redevelopment/housing set-aside funds for the program,
etc.
In April, 1993, staff took the program along with a draft ordinance to the
Gang and Drug Task Force for review. They approved the proposal and
recommended it along with a draft ordinance being sent to the Planning
Commission.
The City has approximately 44,240 apartment units and the proposed fee for the
inspection program is $18.75 per unit. It would be added to the business
license for all those who currently have a business license or a separate
billing for those who don't. The basic principle behind the program is to
have regular inspections during the three year period. It would require six
persons in the field and one office specialist. The proposed program will
assist the City in controlling overcrowding. The program will serve as
309
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY ll, 1993 - 5500 P.M.
networking back to the owners. What turned the Jeffrey-Lynne area around more
than anything was that they got the owners to be cohesive and they met and
worked together. He then briefed items one through four on page two of his
report - additional alternatives which could be considered if the concept
proposal proves not to be appropriate for implementation.
In concluding, Mr. Poole stated they are proposing to proactively inspect all
apartments in the City. They still think this is the most cost effective
method to correct the problem.
Following Mr. Poole's presentation, Council Members gave their input and asked
questions which were answered by Mr. Poole, City Manager Ruth and City
Attorney White relating to the issue of overcrowding, the difficulty in
proving and prosecuting overcrowding, proposed legislation on the issue, the
cost of $18.75 per unit is just one more tax an owner will have to pay in
these difficult economic times, etc.
Mayor Daly. He would like to give Mr. Poole feedback that will help him to
establish his goals as much as possible. The following were some of the items
discussed between Council members:
To explore the use of the 20% redevelopment/housing set aside
funds, exploring licensing the 24% of the 44,992 total apartment
units not currently licensed, join in the efforts of other cities
to change the law regarding housing occupancy standards, if the
whole program is not implemented perhaps portions can be done,
targeting certain neighborhoods and to find ways to fund a
directed effort in conjunction with the Police and the Housing
Authority.
John Poole. He will work with Kristine Thalman, Intergovernmental Relations
Officer, to determine the status of occupancy standards in the State
Legislature. They have been working with the apartment, managers group, AIM,
and have been able to accomplish some things with them and will continue to do
that. He will look at the use of Redevelopment set aside funds and report on
his efforts. Having gone through the exercise, he believes progress has been
made. He talked to owners he never knew existed. Unfortunately, a lot of the
apartments are owned by those not members of the Orange County Apartment
Owners Association. He does have good direction, will work on it and come
back with the items discussed in a month or so, probably July.
Council Member Simpson. It seems what Mr. Poole is doing is slightly
different than the effort made in the Jeffrey-Lynne area. If it is possible
to use set aside funds, he suggested that they pick an area they believe is
typical and do a pilot project. Further, he questions why four-plexes do not
pay a business license fee. He does not understand the reason why. He feels
they should be looked at.
Mayor Daly. The difficult decision relative to the proposed program is to
fund the staff which Mr. Poole would like to add to his program. He does not
sense there is an interest in a citywide fee program. He wants to give
Mr. Poole feedback so that he can go back to the drawing board and clarify his
goals. He (Daly) likes the idea of targeting certain neighborhoods and coming
up with a way to fund a real directed effort in conjunction with Police and
the Housing Authority.
After further discussion and comments between Council Members and staff, the
workshop portion of the meeting of May 11, 1993 was concluded.

($34.1 million)
Council Member Feldhaus posed questions which were answered by the Finance
Director George Ferrone.
Al7. 168: RESOLUTION NO. - ..... : Approving the naming of the new public
street extending southerly from the east-west portion of Sanderson Avenue to
the Southern Pacific Railroad, and renaming of certain public streets
(portions of Auto Center Drive and Sanderson Avenue), to Phoenix Club Drive.
(This matter was continued from the meeting of April 27, 1993 to this date.)
Dennis Hardin, 1381 Auto Center Drive. He restated his opposition to the
renaming of Auto Center Road to Phoenix Club Drive (see minutes of April 27,
1993 where extensive input was received). He has had a chance to review the
agreement entered into between the City and the Phoenix Club. It seems it
would be possible for the Council to rename the street Phoenix Club Drive up
to the point of the intersection of Auto Center Drive and then it could
continue to be Auto Center Drive from that point northward to Ball Road. It
would allow the access to the Auto Center to be called Auto Center Road, allow
Lincoln-Mercury to retain the same address they have. This would be most
helpful to those in the Auto Center to continue their efforts to stay in
business and generate sales tax. He confirmed with two of the dealerships on
Auto Center Drive, their address would not change.
Paul Gunneman, Phoenix Club. He referred to the input he gave at the previous
meeting (see minutes of April 27, 1993). Subsequently they had another
meeting with Mr. Hardin and one of the principals in the Auto Center. He
explained the suggestion made to Mr. Hardin where Auto Center Road would be
Phoenix Club Drive and the old Auto Center Drive would be entering into
Phoenix Club Drive with an additional sign stating this is Auto Center Drive.
Mr. Hardin was in favor but not completely satisfied. He further noted that
315
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY ~1, 1993 - 5~00 P.M.
the Phoenix Club does not know exactly what kind of building there will be
when the new auto dealership is located at the center which may further affect
their visibility. He urged the Council to vote in favor of the change.
Vinnie Sanchez, General Sales Manager, Quality Lincoln Mercury. Perhaps a
solution would be to construct a sign behind the fence that shows that the
Phoenix Club is down that street. Changing Auto Center Drive will kill off a
lot of business and cause a lot of unnecessary changes for the auto
dealerships there. He made other suggestions relative to signage but stated
he is opposed to the change to the entry way to Auto Center Drive to get
everybody into the facility to begin with.
Gary White, 1321 Auto Center Drive, General Manager, Anaheim Mazda Pontiac.
They want to be good business partners with the City and good neighbors to the
Phoenix Club. One thing of great concern to him is that over the years the
Auto Center has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising and the
theme has been Anaheim Auto Center on Auto Center Drive. Somehow they should
be able to reach an agreement so that the Phoenix Club can get the renaming of
the street at the stop sign that has just been put in so that Quality Lincoln
Mercury and Anaheim Dodge do not have to go through a large expense to make
changes. This possibly could be established by an additional sign by the
freeway advertising the Phoenix Club and Auto Center Drive.
Manuel Ontiveros. He referred to the letter he submitted with a suggested
compromise - to change Sanderson to Phoenix Club Drive and leave Auto Center
Drive as is. The auto center would remain the auto center and the address of
the Phoenix Club will change from Sanderson Avenue to Phoenix Club Drive.
Bill Ehrle, 707 S. Heatherglen, Anaheim, Marketing Director for the Islands
Golf Center immediately across the street from the street known as Auto Center
Drive. He was on the Council when in good faith they negotiated with the
Phoenix Club that the street would be named after the Phoenix Club since they
were a key integral part of the total move with the purchase of the property
for the Arena. On behalf of the Phoenix Club, he would hope the Council would
support the original intent of the negotiations and it should be renamed the
Phoenix Club Drive or street or whatever.
Mayor Daly. He is going to be asking for one more continuance. There have
been some very good ideas presented. He believes there has to be a solution
especially in terms of quality signage regardless of what street names are.
He first suggested a two week continuance; City Clerk $ohl announced the next
full Council meeting will be on June 8, 1993.
Council Member Hunter reiterated his belief, as he did at the previous
meeting, that the City has a legal commitment to the Phoenix Club relative to
signage.
Council Member Feldhaus. Me will go along with the continuance, but
personally does not believe it is fair to the people involved. They have
reached an impasse. He is prepared to make a decision tonight.
City Manager Ruth. It is important to solve the situation as soon as
possible. The concern he has if a decision is not made soon, it will impact
the marketing of the Arena.
Council Member Simpson, working from a map of the area showing the various
streets explained the way those streets are now named at present or will be
named which does not make sense to him. He then made his recommendation
316
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 11, 1993 - 5:00 P.M.
working from a replica of a sign which to him would be fair and logical. What
has been proposed up to now does not seem logical and he feels there must be a
way to compromise and make it logical for everybody.
At the conclusion of discussion, on motion by Council Member Daly seconded by
Council Member Pickler. It was determined that the subject naming and
renaming of certain public streets be continued to Tuesday, June 8, 1993.

PUBLIC HEARING - BUSINESS LICENSES AND FEES - (5:00 p.m.):
To consider an ordinance repealing Title 3 of the Anaheim Municipal Code

resolution adopting certain fees in connection with the Business License
Tax Ordinance and Superseding Resolution No. 92R-134.
Submitted was report dated May 3, 1993 from the City Treasurer, Charlene Jung
recommending the changes to Title 3 of the Anaheim Municipal Code and adopting
certain fees in connection with the Business License Tax Ordinance.
318
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 11, 1993 - 5:00 P.M.
Charlene Jung, Treasurer. The recommendation is contained in the May 3, 1993
staff report. She deferred to Bill Sell, Treasury Manager if there are any
questions.
Bill Sell, Treasury Manager. He confirmed for Mayor Daly that the proposed
changes are entirely in keeping with the direction the Council approved a few
months ago. They met with the Chamber and Business Community and came up with
the items they agreed to. The Council saw those a couple of months ago and
that is what staff presented back to the Council.
Mayor Daly opened the public hearing .
Shirley Lewis, 1241 N. East Street #111, Anaheim. She asked if the cost is
going down $75 per business license. She assumed all the business licenses
were going to drop $75.
Mayor Daly explained that the cost is going down for certain classifications
but not rising for anybody.
Mr. Sell explained that those businesses classified as services will be
reduced from $150 to $75. Those that are in gross receipts their rates do not
change, but there is a minimum fee.
Mrs. Lewis. She explained a problem she has had with a gardener who does not
have a license and flaunts the authorities. Such cases have been reported but
Police and Code Enforcement will not do anything. If the laws are not going
to be upheld by people who are violators, she questioned why should honest
people invest their money back into the City if the City is not going to get
the people who are creating problems.
Charlene Jung. They are starting a strong enforcement program. If Mrs. Lewis
will notify them as to the gardener in question, they will do a follow up.
They are tapping into various sources to detect businesses currently operating
that are not licensed.
Additional discussion followed with input given by Bill Sell and also the Code
Enforcement Manager John Poole. Mr. Poole offered to have Mrs. Lewis come and
talk to him about the situation. Code Enforcement routinely does license
enforcement and will look into the matter. There are certain businesses
exempt under State law.
City Attorney White. The public hearing is to remain open until next week.
Under new statutory procedures, it is required to hold two public hearings
prior to the adoption of a new tax increase. He suggested that the matter be
continued to next week, that the public hearing remain open and that action on
the resolution also be held until the next meeting.

City H&11, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 11, 1993 - 5500 P.M.
B8. 179: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 3413 - REQUEST FOR REVIEW OF LANDSCAPE
PLANS:
Requested by: Norbert Waters.
LOCATION: 2501-2521 E. Ball Road.
Review of landscape plans as required by Conditional Use Permit No. 3413
(to permit expansion of a restaurant with on-premise sale/consumption of
beer and wine).
ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION:
APPROVED landscape plan (7 yes votes).
He asked if the City has any control over whether the installation matches
what is on the plans.
Annika Santalahti. She answered yes. Planning staff will be making an
inspection of the property that they follow through with the plan that is
approved. They will be going out to check the property at the point where
they feel the owner should have finished installing the landscaping.
Mayor Daly. It is difficult to tell from the staff report what is required
along Ball Road - 15 trees and 180 shrubs. The reason he is bringing it up,
he was by the property a couple of days ago and it looks the same as it has
always looked. That is a very key entry point to the residential community
along Sunkist. He does not think the property owner has complied with the
spirit of what he committed to do.
Annika Santalahti. This was approved on April 19, 1993. Within the next week
or two staff would be taking a look at it. He has not installed anything
shown on the plans approved.
Mayor Daly asked whether Council might want to continue this or set it for a
time in the future so they could make sure they like the plan that has been
submitted and it will be adhered to. He asked the City Attorney's advice.
City Attorney White. If the Council has interest in reviewing the plans
before giving final approval, they can continue the item and instruct staff to
notify the property owner that he should be present to present the plans at a
date certain in the future for review and to answer any questions the Council
might have. The condition that was approved as part of CUP 3413 provides that
within a period of 120 days from the date of that resolution, which he
believes was July 9, that the plans were to be submitted to the Zoning
Division for review and approval by the Planning Commission. It does not
require a public hearing. Apparently the permittee is in default under that
condition currently by not having timely submitted the plans. Staff could
have the plans submitted within a time period certain and presented to the
Council and have Mr. Waters or whoever present.
MOTION: Council Men%her Daly moved that the matter be continued two weeks to
give a chance for the owner to get together with Planning staff and the City
Manager to be sure what has been submitted is acceptable and that there is
some assurance the landscaping will be installed according to the plan.
Council Member Hunter seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
B9. 179: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2602 - REQUEST FOR SUBSTANTIAL

and properties on Anaheim Boulevard are grandfathered non-conforming

AMENDING VARIOUS CHAPTERS OF TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING
TO ADULT ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESSES.
To consider an Ordinance amending various chapters of Title 18 of the
Anaheim Municipal code relating to adult entertainment businesses.

Recommend adoption to City Council, subject to further revisions related
to parking requirements.
END OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS
Bll. 179: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 3581 (PEP BOYS} - REQUEST TO CHANGE
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING:
The above public hearing was opened on April 20, 1993 and some testimony
received. Subsequently the applicant requested a continuance of the public
hearing to May 18, 1993. A request has since been received from Floyd Farano,
attorney for the medical building, asking for a continuance to May 25, 1993
instead of May 18, 1993. The matter is before the Council for a decision.
City Clerk Sohl. A letter was also received today from Savoy Bellavia, Vice
President Hutton Company asking, as the applicant, that the scheduling of the
continuation of the public hearing be held either May 25 or June 8, 1993.
Council Member Simpson. If those three dates are unacceptable for the parties
with the exception of June 8, he feels that June 8 should not be acceptable to
the Council since budget public hearings are being held that date and the next
day a hearing on the Disney EIR. He proposed a new date, June 22, 1993.
City Attorney White. Another option, as the Council will recall, when this
was last before the Council, the only one uncertain about May 18th was
Mr. Farano; Council Member Simpson. The only problem with that is there will
not be a full Council.
City Attorney White. If the Council is desirous of having a full Council,
maybe there is no other date but June 22. With all due respect to Mr. Farano,
it is up to the Council.
Mayor Daly. He will poll the Council to see if June 22, is acceptable.
Floyd Farano, 2100 S. State College Blvd., Anaheim. He agrees with Mr. White.
It is obvious the hearing has some emotion and in order to be fair to both
parties and remove any semblance of unfairness, it should be a hearing of the
full Council. He agrees with the 22nd of June and will set his calendar
accordingly. Another request, apparently there was some communication between
the applicant and the City Clerk's Office in writing. He requested that both
parties send any written communications to the other parties as well. He
confirmed they are agreeable with the 22nd or any date with a full Council.

City Ea11~ ~naheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 11, 1993 - 5:00 P.M.
Mayor Daly asked if there was a representative of the developer present; there
was no response. The Mayor then asked the City Attorney if he had any
concerns that the public hearing is pushed too far into the future.
City Attorney White. He does not have a problem. The only problem is if the
other party comes back and says it is unacceptable.
It was determined by General Council Consensus that the continued public
hearing on CUP 3581 be held on Tuesday, June 22, 1993 at 6:00 p.m.

179: PUBLIC HEARING - ARCADE PERMIT NO. 1022:
APPLICANT: Carlos & Salvador Rubalcaba, 531 S. Wayside Street
Anaheim, CA 92805.
LOCATION/REQUEST: The property is located at 804 West La Palma Avenue
and is approximately 0.70 acres, located at the southwest corner of
La Palma Avenue and Citron Street. The request is for approval of an
arcade for a maximum of 27 amusement devices.
ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR:
Arcade Permit No. 1022 APPROVED, less than 50% in opposition received
within 300 feet radius; however, additional opposition received outside
300 feet as well as from the Police Department (ZA93-29).
HEARING SET ON: Council Members Pickler and Simpson requested a review of the
Zoning Administrator's decision and public hearing scheduled this date.
PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY:
Publication in Anaheim Bulletin - April 28, 1993
Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - April 29, 1993
Posting of property - April 30, 1993
PLANNING STAFF INPUT:
See Zoning Administrator Decision ZA93-29 and Memorandum dated May 25, 1993
from the Chief of Police regarding the proposed business.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator. She briefed the proposal for the
Arcade Permit. In this case, the Zoning Administrator cannot deny the permit
since there was less than 50% opposition received within a 300 foot radius.
She noted that additional opposition was received outside of the 300 foot
area, as well as from the Police Department.
Council Member Pickler. He recalls awhile back the Council talked about the
possibility of lowering the percentage to something under 50%. He asked when
the report/proposal will be coming back to the Council.
Annika Santalahti. A draft has been prepared regarding that issue. Because
of some of the recent history on uses of this type, they have also discussed
whether they might want to add other reasons as well such as criminal activity
or things of that nature.
Council Member Pickler. He asked if there was a way that any arcade permit
would have to come back before the Council; Annika Santalahti. A way would be
to require a CUP for such a permit.
Mayor Daly opened the public hearing and asked to hear from the applicant or
applicant's agent; there was no response. Neither the agent nor the applicant
was present.
Mayor Daly asked the City Attorney's advice; City Attorney White. The code
reads in this particular case the permit will be granted unless there is
evidence that the use is detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
morals or general welfare. Therefore, it is incumbent to have in the record
evidence of that. The Council already has the report from the Police Chief
that he (White) feels by itself in the absence of contradicting evidence to be
sufficient to make those findings. If there are people who do want to present
325
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 11, 1993 - 5:00 P.M.
additional evidence, understanding that there is no evidence in favor, they
should have that opportunity. There is already evidence by the Chief of
Police supporting a denial.
Mayor Daly. Since many people have turned out, it might be in order to hear
from some spokesperson to speak in opposition, recognizing that the applicant
is not present.
Don Parsons, 700 W. Humana, Anaheim. He has some additional petitions. (A
group of petitions had previously been submitted in opposition to the arcade.)
It is hard to figure out why they would allow arcades in neighborhoods. It is
right across the street from a notorious target neighborhood, the Citron-Hall
area. They do not need this in their neighborhood. They are trying to bring
the neighborhood back and they see this as a magnet for problems. They do not
need another problem added to the ones they already have.
Henry Baynon. They do not need anymore arcade machines in the neighborhood.
Bill Jollissaint, 1001N. Citron, near the proposed business where he has
lived for 40 years. They do not need an amusement arcade so close to schools,
churches and a residential area. This is not the proper thing for the area
and he urged the council's consideration of the opposition.
Harriett Gurvall, 956 N. Winter Street. There are 343 signatures on the
petition submitted. More came in today. They all have their reasons for not
wanting the arcade - gangs, graffiti, traffic, the necessity for police
surveillance and the safety of the neighborhood. Children are constantly
going back and forth from school. Horace Mann and Patrick Henry Schools will
be in year-round session. They want to preserve the quality of their
neighborhood. The public interest, health, safety, morals and general welfare
will be a factor with the arcade.
Mayor Daly closed the public hearing.
MOTION: Council Member Daly moved that the arcade permit application of
Carlos & Salvador Rubalcaba to permit an amusement arcade consisting of up to
27 amusement devices, as defined in Chapter 4.14 of the Anaheim Municipal
Code, on property located at 804 West La Palma Avenue be denied on the grounds
that such permit would be contrary to the public interest, health, safety,
morals or general welfare for the following reasons:
The proposed site is zoned Commercial, Limited but is in the
immediate vicinity of residential housing areas located to the
north, west and south of the proposed site.
2. Immediately across the street from the proposed site are areas of
known gang activity.
Based upon the experience of the police department, the proposed
amendment arcade, by its nature as a location for young people to
congregate and socialize, would likely become the site of rival gang
activity, violence, vandalism, narcotics sales, and efforts by rival
gangs to establish the proposed arcade as their respective "turf"
through violence, intimidation and other unlawful acts of the rival
gang members.
326
City Hall, An&helm, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 11, 1993 - 5:00 P.M.
Such activity would increase the need for police service in the area
and would be detrimental to the public safety of the merchants,
patrons and residents in the area.
5o
The proposed use would contribute to the noise and loitering in an
area already overburdened by excessive noise and loitering problems
and which noise and loitering would adversely affect surrounding
commercial and residential uses.
Council Member Hunter seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Cl. COUNCIL COMMENTS:
139: PROPOSED SALARY INCREASES - STATE LEGISLATURE:
Council Member Feldhaus referred to an article in the Oranqe County Reqister
of May 8, 1993 regarding proposed salary increases for certain State
Legislators. He would like to have full consensus of the Council to go on
record as opposing any increases until the State can get its budget in
balance.
The Council was in agreement; Mayor Daly noted there was to be a public
hearing in Sacramento on June 11, 1993 conducted by the California Citizens
Compensation Commission, Department of Personnel Administration. Perhaps
staff could do some research on the matter for the Council and bring them
exactly what the proposal is so that the Council can comment prior to the
June 11, 1993 hearing.
ADJOURNMENT: By General Consensus the Council adjourned to Tuesday, May 18,
1993 at 3:00 p.m. (6:37 p.m.)
