He would like to know how much money is spent relative to the Vacation Buy Back program. He does not believe this policy is common in industry. City Manager Ruth. Answering the Mayor, the buy back is optional to the City employee. They have earned that vacation and accrued it on the books. There is less of a liability paying it off now and getting it off the books. It is also a great morale factor. Historically all cities allow management and other employees in the City to accrue their vacations. If they do not take it 487 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JULY 13, 1993 - 5:00 P.M. off, it remains on the books.

ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION: CUP DENIED (PC93-45) (6 yes votes, 1 no vote). Approved Negative Declaration. HEARING SET ON: The decision of the Planning Commission was appealed by Ron Johnsen, agent for the applicant, and continued from the meeting of June 29, 1993 to this date. PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY: Publication in Anaheim Bulletin - June 17, 1993 Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - June 17, 1993 Posting of property - June 18, 1993 PLANNING STAFF INPUT: See staff report to the Planning Commission dated April 19, 1993. Submitted was additional staff report dated July 8, 1993 from the Zoning Administrator Annika Santalahti noting revisions to the plans previously submitted at the Planning Commission hearing which now eliminated all waivers and also recommending two additional conditions by staff should the request be approved. APPLICANT'S STATEMENT: Ron Johnsen, 6757 Leafwood Drive, Anaheim. He is the applicant, long-term resident and homeowner in the City. He is asking for a second location of his business in the City of Anaheim. His other is in Santa Ana where he has operated a car wash for five years. He provides a service to the community, it is open daily and it is lucrative and profitable. He has had no problems and no complaints with Code Enforcement. He has over 350 signatures of people living in the subject community who support the car wash. (He submitted the petition and a map of the area showing in green those properties who signed his petition.) The opponents have 63 signatures. A percentage of those people who signed his petition in favor of the car wash once signed the other petition of those opposed. When they went door to door gathering the petitions, they brought with them the color rendering of the proposed facility (posted on the Chamber wall). The project was not approved by the Planning commission. Things have changed radically. He went to the Planning Department and asked the next steps. He complied 100% to what the written code states. The people he talked to thought a full-service car wash was going to be there. It will be a beautiful self-service car wash with beautiful landscaping. It will be safe. He has incorporated brand new equipment into the car wash. Sound levels meet code requirements. It will use a clarifier to separate liquids coming off the car. The vacuums are sound proofed and the landscaping is excessive. Mayor Daly. Mr. Johnsen indicates this is a radical departure from the previous design. He asked the City Attorney about the appropriateness of the 492 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JULY 13, 1993 - 5=00 P.M. City Council considering a design that has not been seen by the Planning Commission. City Attorney White. The application is for a particular use under the Zoning Code which in this case happens to be a self-service car wash. As long as the use does not change, there is no legal requirement that the matter be referred back. However, the City Council in the past has made it a practice if there has been a substantial departure in the plans for the particular use, to allow the Planning Commission to have an opportunity to review those plans before the City Council acts. The Council has the opportunity and option to either approve or deny the application tonight. On the other hand, the Council has the option if it desires after having taken the public testimony, to refer the matter back to the Planning Commission for a report and recommendation as to the revised design and whether that changes the Planning Commission's previous decision of denial of the application. The Council would still retain jurisdiction. Mr. Johnsen then introduced several speakers who support the establishment of the car wash. Juan Sanchez, Cleaners Emporium, 2840 E. Lincoln, Suite A, Anaheim (Charbell/Speir/Owner). (Home address, 726 S. Orange, Santa Ana.) People want the car wash. He went around the area. It is safe. It is a very nice place to have a car wash. He is speaking on behalf of the dry cleaners. Jose Dellis. He is representing Tony Garcia VCR - Express TV and VCR. (Home address, 1234 S. Cypress, Santa Ana.) There is a need for the self-service car wash. The area needs to look better. Greg Bennett, Donley-Bennett Architects, 1472 Plaza Drive, Suite 101, Tustin 92680. He is the architect performing the work. They have done quite a few car washes in and around the community and other cities. This property is not an easy one to deal with. Quite a few other projects have been proposed on the site and not many approved. Working from the posted plans and drawings, he explained the specifics of the car wash noting that the white building with the blue tile was the plan used in Chino which won an award. They feel blue is a better image and would be compatible with the commercial as well as residential scale in the area. This or the Terra Cota with tan stucco is acceptable to Mr. Johnsen. The line-of-site diagram shows the proposed landscaping and screen wall at the rear of the property as well as the vertical and horizontal separation of the residential and proposed car wash which is adequate to protect those people for their visual privacy. They proposed a vine to grow up the block wall to reduce graffiti and in front, a thorny bush. They are willing to add an additional wrought iron structure above the 6 foot block wall that meets codes and to put bars up two feet high to prevent people from penetrating further. He then explained the measures taken to mitigate noise, the reduction in bays from 6 to 5, the extensive landscaping proposed, environmental issues, etc. (See three-page letter dated July 7, 1993 submitted by Donley-Bennett Architects giving justification in support of the approval of the car wash which explained the project and the changes that had been incorporated since it was heard before the Planning Commission.) In concluding, he stated he does not think that a couple of concerned citizens is substantial enough to deter the project from going forward. It is a glowing example and a good solution to this difficult piece of property. They would prefer to have the matter heard before the Council tonight rather than refer it back to the Planning Commission although the Commission would probably be in support this time around because there are no negatives as far as exceptions to the code. 493 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JULY 13, 1993 - 5:00 P.M. Mayor Daly then asked to hear from those who wished to speak in opposition, preferably a spokesperson although anyone is welcome to speak. Dale Bradford, 2861 Gerald Circle, Anaheim (over 30 years). He submitted a petition that was previously submitted at the Planning Commission hearing protesting the proposed construction and operation of the self-service car wash because it would substantially lower the value of their homes, create and invite drugs, prostitution, noise, be a general nuisance as well as constant disturbance to the peace and tranquility of the neighborhood. They are respectfully requesting denial of the application. Further, there are four car washes within one mile - two full-service and one self-service. He visited the self-service car wash located within 3/8ths of a mile early one Monday morning and found empty beer bottles, used condoms, etc. The applicant is proposing an 8 foot block wall behind the residential properties. It will be an 8 foot wall 12 feet from their patio which would make it difficult to know if the sun was shining or not. None of the other car washes are adjacent to residential properties but business districts. This proposal is a definite detriment to their residential neighborhood. Cliff Kaywood, 522 S. Jeanine, Anaheim. He is located 300 to 400 feet away and has lived there for 10 years. The homes are worth $200 to $250,000. When he lived on Bush Street, he used to use the car wash on Sycamore and East Streets until it became unsafe to do so. They moved to this neighborhood because of the rapid deterioration in his previous neighborhood. If they allow this' business to invade their neighborhood, they may experience the same situation. The police have had to respond to numerous calls in the parking lot by Alpha Beta (Rio Vista and Lincoln). There are at least four car washes in the area. Even though some beautiful drawings have been presented, he is not happy about the proposal and opposes it. Shirley Swan, 525 S. Jeanine, Anaheim (25 years).. They are an area of residents with pre-school through college-aged children as well as retirees. They live outside as much as inside, weather permitting. If the car wash is allowed, there will be cars going in and out from morning until late at night with horns honking and radios blaring. Their quality of life will not be sustained. The acoustical engineer said the noise would be minimal. The City has done a beautiful job downtown and the quality of life has been improved. They gave great consideration to business locations and types. This is a ~esidential area. These areas are the backbone and strength of any city. She would hope that the Council would give the residents the same consideration. She questions the veracity of Mr. Johnsen. She then relayed concerns relative to Mr. Johnsen's gathering of signatures and the things he told the neighbors. He told one 85 year old resident that if the building was not allowed, the property would be filled with homeless people. Council Member Hunter had expressed his concerns previously (see minutes of June 29, 1993) stating that what Mr. Johnsen had told the Clerk's Office was a lie. The residents question whether Mr. Johnsen would make a good neighbor. Betty Miller, 2857 Gerald Circle, Anaheim. The applicant has harassed the neighborhood insisting that the people take this car wash and that they need the car wash. He has used unethical tactics. He has missed the whole concept of what the residents are fighting for. They are not asking for beauty but for quality of life in their homes. They want to use and enjoy their back yards. They will not be able to do so if they cannot control the noise that will be generated. She went to the car wash one-quarter mile away and sat there different days and hours to listen to what goes on. With just the human element, there is screaming, yelling and profanity. The homeowners in the area have suffered quite a bit from this property. She submitted a number of 494 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JULY 13, 1993 - 5:00 P.M. pictures which are only a few of the many that they have showing the problems now. They have filed many complaints with Code Enforcement. There is complete disregard from the owner of the property for their health and welfare. The homeowner's petition only covered the immediate area because those are the people that would be most affected. She is a 32-year resident. She loves her home and neighborhood and would like to keep it the way it is. The car wash is going to be open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week. They need the Council's support and ask that they reject the petition. REBUTTAL BY APPLICANT: Mr. Bennett. The property has been zoned commercial for quite some time. He agrees that commercial next to single family is a difficult solution. That is why the mitigation measures put forth by the Planning Department and other departments are so restrictive. There is an inherent conflict but this project does not aggravate that conflict. He disagrees on all counts that the car wash will worsen crime, drugs, violence and prostitution. There is also economic demand for the car wash and Mr. Johnsen is the most capable of making that decision. The 6-foot block wall is already substantially present at the site currently. If the neighbors want to maintain a sky view, they will respect that by not planting trees there. The property is vacant now and the neighbors perceive that as a benefit to them and a buffer from the noise associated with Lincoln. There are one or two lots that will be affected. There are concerns that are valid but not significant enough to deter the project. It is a good piece of infill architecture that adheres to the code. They urge support of the project. Mayor Daly closed the public hearing. Mayor Daly. It is his belief one reason they require a conditional use permit for these kinds of uses is because there are certain uses in commercial zones not as appropriate as others. The fact that this is immediately adjacent to a single-family neighborhood is the most significant part of the application. He does not think a car wash is appropriate next to single-family homes and will be moving to deny the conditional use permit consistent with the Planning Commission decision. Council Member Feldhaus. The way he sees it, there are about 16 residences directly affected that did not sign the petition circulated by the applicant. The developer states it is insignificant to have this property right next to the residential zone. He believes it is insignificant to the applicant because it is not his home and his long-term investment that is being affected. In the code they provide for a transition from residential to commercial zones. He is asking for a waiver of the landscape setback abutting both the ~in~l~-family r~id~ntial ~on~ as well as the a~terlal highway. The hours of operation are from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week. There will be lighting as well. He does not believe this use should be contiguous to the residential zone. Council Member Simpson. He asked for clarification that the waivers have been set aside by the new design; Joel Fick, Planning Director. The waivers through the redesign of the project were eliminated. 495 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JULY 13, 1993 - 5:00 P.M. Council Member Pickler. The design or anything else was not the reason the Planning Commission turned it down; Joel Fick. That is correct. While there were concerns regarding some of the waivers, the Planning Commission had concerns about noise from car radios, trash in the area, etc., but the overriding concern of the Planning Commission and staff was the incompatibility of the land use of the car wash adjacent to residential. Some individual commissioners had comments or concerns that the commercial use should be conducted wholly within a building that would be on that site. Mayor Daly. He first moved to approve the negative declaration; City Attorney White. The Council could also deny the CEQA finding. The reasons articulated for denial of the CUP relate to the environmental issues of the use on surrounding properties. It may be in order to deny the negative declaration. Mayor Daly agreed. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTALQUALITY ACT FINDING: On motion by Council Member Daly, seconded by Council Member Pickler, the City Council has considered the proposed Negative Declaration together with any comments received during the public review process and on the basis of the Initial Study, find that there is substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. Council Member Hunter was absent. MOTION CARRIED. Council Member Daly offered Resolution No. 93R-154 for adoption, denying Conditional Use Permit No. 3592 with findings as previously adopted by the City Planning Commission. Refer to Resolution Book.

"ayor Daly. He agrees this is a hardship piece of property. The turnout from the residents indicates the neighborhood, especially those immediately affected, do not support the proposal.

Mayor Daly. This hearing was set by Council Members Pickler and Feldhaus. asked that they describe any questions or give comments they may have regarding the project. He Council Member Pickler. Some weeks ago when he read the application regarding this agenda item, he was under the impression it had been approved. He was concerned and did not feel it should be used for what is planned. He misinterpreted the Planning Commission's action. (The Planning Commission approved the reclassification and denied the conditional use permit.) He thereupon set the matter for public hearing which was concurred in by Council Member Feldhaus. He confirmed for the Mayor that he is in support of the Planning Commission action in denying the conditional use permit, but approving the reclassification. APPLICANT'S STATEMENT: Benny Quach, owner, 12561Lucille Avenue, Garden Grove. He has been trying to make improvements for over a year at 1007 W. Lincoln. They have received several letters from Code Enforcement to upgrade the building. He tried to open a flower shop and another shop but it did not survive. He also tried to do catering. It seemed the only solution would be to put up more money. They cannot sell the property. He is a commissioned mechanic. The only solution he sees is to open something in his own field. He has already got the loan to open a car repair shop. They got support from Planning and Zoning to say that they could go ahead. If they are allowed to open, it will bring an asset to the community and a financial asset for the City. It will not generate any noise. He is asking the Council to give him a chance as a minority and new citizen of the City to open the shop as the only commissioned shop in the area. Mayor Daly opened the public hearing.
