City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 26, 1989, 1;30 P,M. ~
FLAG SALUTE: Councilman Tom Daly led the assembly in the Pledge of Allegiance
to the Flag.
119: PRESENTATION - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS; Mr. Ron
Rothschild, Administrative Services Director, first gave the background and
history on how the subject study came about. He also briefed the Council on
the Robert Charles Lesser & Company who performed the study and introduced the
Company's representative Mr. Chris Lineburger.
Mr. Chris Lineburger, managing partner, Robert Charles Lesser & Company.
Mr. Lineburger briefed portions of the extensive report supplemented by
slides. (See report - Economic Development Strategic Planning for Anaheim -
prepared for: City of Anaheim - September 22, 1989 by Robert Charles Lesser &
Company - made a part of the record). "The primary objective of this study
was to assess the current economic status of Anaheim in relation to the rest
of the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan Area..." He noted that growth in
southern California is in a league by itself. He then elaborated upon the
different types of business that fuel such growth. He emphasized that a great
deal of growth is heading this way and that the central Orange County area is
the second fastest growing "downtown" in southern California. He then
addressed the changing metropolitan forces that affect Anaheim relating to the
five following sub-areas: Anaheim Civic Center, Anaheim Plaza,
Commercial/Recreation Area, Platinum Triangle (including the Anaheim Stadium
Business Center), and the 91-Freeway Industrial Corridor. He emphasized that
considerable attention should be focused on the platinum triangle where
consideration should be given to a signage program, landscape program and
strict development standards so that the uses are of a quality level that will
reflect well on the City and all the developers and uses that would want to
occupy that area. He also urged "double use" of the parking areas around the
Stadium and proposed arena. (See recommendations of the study starting on
page 11 of the subject report which addressed each of the subject five areas
and summary conclusions ending on page 14.)
At the conclusion of the presentation, Mr. Lineburger answered questions posed
by Council Members.
Ron Rothschild, Administrative Services Director. The report gives staff an
understanding of Anaheim's position and the trends that are occurring in the
Central Orange County area and need for Anaheim to position itself to take
advantage of the growth that is going to occur. It represents only a first
step and a great deal more work needs to be done. With Council direction,
staff plans on going forward and doing some of the master planning recommended
by Mr. Lineburger to determine the likely fiscal impacts of some of the master
plans for the various areas, examine the City's fiscal responsibilities,
develop marketing plans compatible with the master plans devised to develop
development standards and policies for Council's approval. It will take
months and a lot of staff work, but with the Council's guidance, staff will be
back making some recommendations and putting some policies and standards
before the Council.

DECLARATION;
APPLICANT: OWNER:
Dominic C. Etchandy, Betty J. Etchandy
1241 North Lakevtew Avenue,
Anaheim, CA 92807
LOCATION/REQUEST: The property is located at 1261 N. Lakeview Avenue
(Suite "A" & "K"). The request is to permit retail sales of silk flowers,
plants and related products (1261A) and retail & commercial laundry and dry
cleaning (1261K).
ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION: Conditional Use Permit No. 3188 was
denied, under (PC89-203); approved Negative Declaration.
HEARING SET ON:
A letter of appeal received September 5, 1989 was submitted by Jim Potter, Jim
Potter Management.
PLANNING STAFF INPUT:
See Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated August 14, 1989.
APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Bob Mickelson, 328 North Glassell, Orange, representing the
applicant.
He briefly described the two businesses involved, industrially
related retail sales of silk flowers, plants and related
products (at 1261 "A") and a retail laundry facility
(1261 ~K~). The purpose of his presentation is to demonstrate
that they are worthy of approval as requested. They are both
family businesses and the families are working in those
businesses to make them successful. The first, the flower
business is one o£ assembling products and distributing them in
a wholesale manner throughout Orange County. They have been in
business for four years, two years at the subject address and
two years at 4308 East La Palma. Since the business was growing
they had to move to the larger quarters and there have been no
problems until recently when a complaint was made that they
might be doing too much retail. They were cited and
subsequently came in for a conditional use permit. It is one
big wholesale area and the company is looking to expand again at
1261 North Lakeview. Customers are primarily wholesale
distributors. He then explained the categories of customers who
patronize the business. They have over 100 regular volume
customers.
931
City Hall, Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES - September 26. 1989. 1:30 P.M.
Relative to traffic, a survey revealed that the business has
been doing in the neighborhood of 10% retail sales, sometimes
less and sometimes more. They kept track of their customers for
12 days, every customer who came to the site. It averaged 18.9
trips per day with the business open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Their drop-in customers, other than large volume dealers, are
primarily the noon time drop-bys from the general area, perhaps
from some of the residential areas nearby. Using an arbitrary
10% drop-in, it is roughly two cars per day. They want to
expand their assembly and do even more wholesale. They do not
want to give up the retail. Some of the customers are referred
to them by retail/resale customers.
Relative to Suite "K", it is primarily an industrial laundry.
They pick up, launder, and deliver hundreds of shirts a day from
that site. They also kept track of the traffic and over a
10-day period, they averaged 6.6 drop-by customers. The rest of
the business is pick up and delivery with their own delivery
vehicles. Of the 6.6 customers, two to three were from the same
industrial complex and were walk-ins. There is no traffic
conflict. They would like to continue in the subject location.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
IN FAVOR: None.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
IN OPPOSITION:
None.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing.
COUNCIL CONCERNS:
Councilman Pickler.
Retail is not allowed in the area. Opening it up, no matter how
small will open it up to additional retail along La Palma. They
will be advertising and additional traffic will be attracted to
the area which Council is trying to prevent as they do not want
retail sales in the industrial area. Traffic and circulation in
the area has not improved and is getting worse. He does not
feel these uses should be allowed in an industrial area.
Mayor Hunter.
He disagrees. The Council recently approved a project on
Raymond that included a small amount of retail on the frontage
portion. Only a very small amount of traffic is experienced by
the businesses. They are not set up to do retail. They are
basically wholesale businesses. Based upon the information
provided, he does not see a problem in approving the request.
He referred to the Lesser report submitted earlier today which
indicated the trend to multiple uses for industrial land.
932
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES September 26, 1989, 1;30 P,M,
Councilwoman Kaywood.
With such an attitude, they will be chasing out industrial
businesses who are concerned about the intrusion of retail and
who have asked that retail uses not be permitted in industrial
areas.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator.
Answering Councilman Daly, she explained that they do have
business licenses. The Zoning Code uses the term commercial
laundry which is intended for what she believes part of the
business does. They collect shirts from other places that are
retail types, launder them and take them back to the locations.
The facility is also doing a walk-in business. One of the
reasons the complaint came to staff, there is signage that
appeared to be enthusiastic to get the walk-by and drive-by
customers. They have a license that probably reads something
like a commercial laundry in the sense of one that does not have
walk-tn customers. The floral location is probably wholesale
and with a license that reads wholesale.
Bob Mickelson.
The problem with the businesses is that their primary use does
not fit in retail and it is more of a problem to move them there
than where they are. They serve the area quite well without
creating any problems. The Council can make the required
findings in the CUP section of the Code that there is not a
traffic problem and there is no threat to health, safety and the
general welfare. They will have full control of the CUP, and it
can be rescinded.
Annika Santalahti.
She explained for Councilman Daly the approximate time frame
involved on a CUP revocation.
Councilman Daly then stated he feels this is a reasonable
exception to the industrial use. It is very much related to
what is going on in the area already. It works well where a
commercial laundry does a bit of retail business.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
Speaking to Mr. Mickelson, she asked if they would be willing to
remove whatever signs or indications that customers can buy
retail inside the businesses.
Jim Potter, 5300 Paseo Panorama, Yorba Linda.
The only sign the cleaners has is the word cleaners on the
outside. It meets all City Codes and is somewhat under what the
standards allow in the complex. There is nothing that
advertises retail. The flower business only says Borneo
Flowers. The silk flower business does not advertise. He
believes originally the cleaners did so but are not doing so at
the present time.
933
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES September 26, 1989, 1;30
Councilman Pickler.
He would like a stipulation that they will refrain from any
advertising. He knows that they have been advertising and
sending flyers out.
Mr. Potter.
He will let the owners know that it is a stipulation of the
conditional use permit.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
She would like to see a stipulation that there be no advertising
in phone books or newspapers.
City Attorney White.
If the Council wants to prohibit advertising in the phone book,
he did not hear that originally. He asked for clarification on
the matter.
Councilman Pickler.
He does not care if they advertise under wholesale in the phone
book but wants no advertising as retail businesses.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT o NEGATIVE DECLARATION; On motion by Councilman
Hunter, seconded by Councilman Ehrle, 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
further finding on the basis of the initial study and any comments received
that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant
effect on the environment. MOTION CARRIED.

read by the City Clerk. (Resolution No. 89R-395)

with the additional stipulation that there be no advertising of the businesses
