CARRIED.
107: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL TIME - HOUSE MOVE ON 514 E. BROADWAY: Request of
S. J. Difilippo for an additional sixty days to move the 4-plex from property
at 514 E. Broadway to a potential site being proposed for Hope House, on North
Anaheim Boulevard.
City Clerk Leonora Sohl announced that several people requested to speak to
the issue.
Bill Erickson, 301 East North Street. He referred first to the property where
the structure is now proposed to be moved (Anaheim Boulevard), noting that the
property is zoned general commercial and is directly across the street from
the Elks Building which is in the process of being purchased by William
Taormina. The move will not be a beneficial one. Mr. Difilippo should take
his loss and dismantle the structure. He is requesting that the Council deny
the 60-day extension to remove the structure.
Keith Oleson. He has been present at all of the previous hearings. He feels
the only thing more ridiculous than putting the building where it presently
sits is putting it on Anaheim Boulevard. Mr. Difilippo should be made to do
the right thing at least this one time and knock the structure down. He
speaks for all the residents of the area and all the people who have been
fighting the move-on for the past 12 months. It has to stop. He implored the
Council not to put them through the same thing for another year.
Phil Schwartze, 18012 Sky Park Circle, Irvine. He is present tonight as an
interested parent on behalf of Hope House. Several weeks ago he was present
in the Chamber audience when the house move-on was discussed. He initiated a
conversation with Mr. Difilippo with a possibility of obtaining the structure
on behalf of Hope House and moving it to another site. He also explored
possible funding sources. He is asking that the Council provide him a small
96
39
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1988~ 6:37 P.M.
amount of time to find out if there is a way Hope House can acquire the
property and to find a funding mechanism. He believes the problem could be
solved within a 30-day period. With the present cost of construction and
considering the needs of Hope House and the work they do, it seems a shame to
take a building that could possibly be used and tear it down. If there is a
way to pull the acquisition together, he can do it but it is necessary to have
some time to find out if it can be done.
Councilman Pickler. He feels Hope House does fine work. He was also in favor
of having Mr. Difilippo upgrade the structure and to leave it on the present
site but the Council majority is not in favor. The Council has given more
than sufficient time for the structure to be moved. This time he (Pickler)
does not want to see the structure sitting on that property any longer. It is
time that it be moved.
MOTION: Councilman Ehrle moved to deny the request of Mr. Difilippo for an
additional 60 days to move the fourplex from property at 5i4 East Broadway.
Councilman Hunter seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood stated this was the first viable
use of the structure that she had heard but feels if the Council were to allow
another extension of time, it could go on for another year and the
neighborhood has put up with the situation far too long.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. Councilman Bay abstained.
MOTION CARRIED.
i79: REGULATIONS FOR CONVENIENCE MARKETS: Report dated January 26, i988 was
submitted by the Planning Department concerning possible regulations for
convenience markets with floor area of less than 15,000 square feet in
commercial zones. This was Requested by City Council at their meeting of
January 5, 1988 (see minutes that date).
Joel Fick, Planning Director. In response to the concerns and issues raised
by Council Members concerning both convenience markets and small strip
commercial developments on seemingly undersized parcels, staff surveyed other
cities to determine how they regulate such businesses, the results of which
are contained in the January 26, 198~ report. Several alternate
recommendations are presented in the report. The most viable and compatible
with other jurisdictions is not to prohibit them being considered, but to
institute a conditional use permit process. An application could be submitted
and plans approved by the Planning Commission and ultimately City Council. If
the regulations were codified and implemented, they would be looking at six to
ten of these applications that would fall into this size range that would
ultimately be considered through the hearing process.
Councilman Pickler. The staff recommendation is something he has been looking
for. The Council will not be saying no, but at least will have an opportunity
to regulate what goes into a corner. This will bring those below 15,000
square feet to the Council and the Council would then have the opportunity to
analyze the location. He supports the staff recommendations.
97
4O
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2~ 1988~ 6:37 P.M.
After brief Council discussion and questions to staff, Mayor Bay asked the
City Attorney for clarification that what the Council is looking at is a
Planning Department response to a Council request for a concept. He assumes
that if the Council majority agrees with the concept, the next step would be
to direct the City Attorney to draft the necessary ordinance changes that
would be submitted for first reading and then for adoption.
City Attorney White clarified that would be the procedure.
MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved to (a) approve the concept relative to the
regulation of convenience markets as presented by staff in report dated
January 2~, 1988 and (b) direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance
incorporating the recommendations in the January 26, 1988 staff report to be
subsequently submitted to the Council for consideration. Councilwoman Kaywood
seconded ~he motion. MOTION CARRIED.
WAIVER OF READING - ORDINANCE NO. 4898: The title of the following ordinance
was read by the City Clerk. (Ordinance No. 4898)
Councilman Bay moved to waive the reading in full of the ordinance.
Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Hunter offered Ordinance No. 4898 for adoption. Refer to Ordinance
Book.
ORDINANCE NO. 4898: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING THE ZONING
MAP REFERRED TO IN TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE R~ATING TO ZONING.

The Mayor declared Ordinance No. 4898 duly passed and adopted.
114/127: CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY CHARTER: Councilman Ehrle.
He was disturbed by an act taken by the Council acting as the Redevelopment
Agency and also Housing Authority dealing with an administrative decision the
Council made to compensate themselves for the time they put forth as Agency
and Authority Members. He does not apologize for that action. It was not a
violation of the City Charter but an administrative action as authorized by
Government Code. His decision was based upon a Government Code as authorized
by the State and it had nothing to do with the City of Anaheim Charter. He
feels the City Charter is outdated and that it has to be reviewed and
updated. It was approved in 1964 before there was a Redevelopment Agency and
Housing Authority and when the population was well below the almost 250,000
residents in the City today.
98
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2~ 1988, 6:37 P.M.
Councilman Ehrle thereupon moved that the Council call for a Blue Ribbon
Charter Committee to do a complete review of the City Charter over the next
several months and that subsequently Charter amendments be placed on the
November, 1988 ballot.
Councilman Ehrle continued that the committee should review such things as a
7-Member Council, Councilmanic Districts, a full-time Council, etc.
Councilman Hunter seconded the motion.
Before any action was taken, Mayor Bay asked the advice of the City Attorney
relative to the proposed action.
City Attorney, Jack White. He explained, unless justification is made and the
Brown Act waived the best way to proceed would be to place this issue on the
agenda for the next Council meeting in order to discuss further the creation
of such a committee.
Councilman Ehrie amended his motion as follows: That Council discussion take
place at the Council meeting of February 9, 1988 on formation of a Charter
Blue Ribbon Committee to consider amendments of the City Charter and that the
issue be placed on the November, 1988 ballot. Councilman Hunter seconded the
motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood, referring to a statement made
by Councilman Ehrle relative to the great amount of time she spends as a
Council person, stated that she has done so for almost 14 years but she did
not seek to triple her salary in the process because she believes in public
service. Unless he (Ehrle) votes to rescind the action he took on salary
compensation, she feels this is a "cover up".
Councilman Pickler. He has no problem discussing the issue. The Chamber of
Commerce has been talking about the possibility of amending the Charter also.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
114/127: RESCINDING OF RESOLUTIONS INCREASING COMPENSATION - REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY/HOUSING AUTHORITY: Councilman Pickler recommended that the Council
agendize for discussion rescinding of the resolutions adopted on January 19,
1988 which increased compensation for Redevelopment Agency and Housing
Authority Members and placing the issue on the June ballot. He feels such
compensation should be initiated through a Charter amendment which he
considers to be the proper vehicle and not a Consent Calendar. He does
believe the Council is underpaid, and he knew what he was getting into when he
ran for the position. Councilman Pickler moved that in one week the Council
discuss the potential of rescinding the raises they gave themselves and
putting the matter on the June ballot.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated if Councilman Pickler changed his motion to place
the issue on the November ballot instead of the June ballot, she would second
the motion; Councilman Pickier felt that five months was ample time to prepare
an appropriate initiative.
99
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1988, 6:37 P.M.
City Clerk Sohl explained that finalized ballot wording would have to be
prepared and ready by approximately early April. Also, June would be a
Special Election for the City of Anaheim and although it could be a
consolidated Election, it would still entail some additional cost. The City's
regular Election date is November, 1988.
Councilman Ehrle. He favored the June ballot. There is a big difference
between what the Charter says and what the Council did as an administrative
act. He nas absolutely no problem putting the question to the people but what
they did was not in any way, shape or form circumventing the people or
anything else.
Councilman Ehrle seconded the motion but that the issue be placed on the June
ballot.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that spending $80~000 for an election is not what
they want to do; City Clerk Sohl stated that $60,000 would be a realistic
estimate for a Special Election.
Councilman Pickier thereupon amended his motion that the issue be placed on
the November ballot since he did not feel that more money should be spent for
a Special Election. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion.
Before action was taken, Mayor Bay spoke against the motion stating that
tonight there had been almost ten minutes of debate on the matter by the
Council.
A Roll Call Vote was taken on the foregoing motion and failed to carry by the

ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Doug Kintz, President - Anaheim H.O.M.E. He first read an article from the
Sunday, January 31, 1988 edition of the Register entitled, "Raise Cane Over
Rising Toxic Threat" having to do with the Sunday, January 24, 1988 fire at
Orange County Steel Salvage. He concluded that pressure will have to be put
on the City Council to finally do something about the situation at Orange
County Steel Salvage.
Jeff Kirsch, 2661 West Palais. He commented on the newly formed Economic
Development Board and the presentation given by its Chairman earlier in the
meeting. There was no mention of quality of life or input from citizens. He
feels citizens need a voice when such plans and ideas are in formative
stages. He would like to see citizens have a knowledge earlier of what is
going on and possibly give some input.
100
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2~ 1988~ 6:37 P.M.
Dave Halbrook, 106 Corral. He referred to an item scheduled to be heard
before the Council as a public hearing at their meeting of February 9, 1988
having to do with the redevelopment of the Anaheim Bowl property. He urged
the Council to drive the area and down the residential streets to get an idea
of the impact of the proposal on their residential neighborhood as well as
traffic and circulation. A proposal of this magnitude needs more attention
than just what is proposed on paper or in a short presentation by the
developer.
Councilman Bay confirmed that the subject public hearing will take place at
5:00 p.m. on February 9, 1988.
RECESS: By general consent, the Council recessed for ten minutes. (8:20 p.m.)
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, ali Council Members
being present. (8:37 p.m.)
174: PUBLIC HEARING - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM AND
BUDGET - 14TH YEAR:
To consider a 1988-89 Program and Budget as recommended by the
Communitywide CDBG Citizen Participation Committee for a total
allocation of $2,121,000 and an alternative program and budget of
$2,277,00 in the event the funding level is not lowered. Submitted
was report dated January 18, 1988 from the Community Development
Department, recommending that the Council approve the 1988/89 CDBG
Program and Budget as recommended by the Communitywide CDBG Citizen
Participation Committee for a total allocation of $2,121,000 and an
alternate program and budget of $2,277,000 in the event the funding
level is not lowered. (The Committee budget recommendations are
comprised of two parts: 1) a basic program and budget for $2,121,000
and 2) backup activities totalling $156,000 for a larger total of
$2,277,000).
Lisa Stipkovich, Acting Executive Director of Community Development.
The Communitywide CDBG Participation Committee met on November i8,
1987 and December 16, 1987. Gladys Wallace, Chairman of the Committee
is present to convey the Committee's recommendation.
Gladys Wallace, 2425 East Lizbeth, Chairperson of this year's
Communitywide CDBG Citizen Participation Committee, briefed the
Council on the two meetings held and the resultant Committee's
recommendations which she read from the prepared document (title -
Committee Recommendations for CDBG Program FY 1988/89).
Lisa Stipkovich.
Staff had a change they would like to recommend after meeting with
several members of the Jeffrey/Lynn community and the Parks and
Recreation Department - that the dollar amount of $50,000 remain the
same but clarifying the type of study to be performed as human and
social service study/implementation which was reflected on the sheet
just handed to the Council.
101
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1988, 6:37 P.M.
Mrs. Wallace clarified that was recommended by the Committee.
Lisa Stipkovich.
One other item under non-profit agencies, the original recommendation
for $67,000 was to go to Turning Point, an organization which is
working with Youth Outreach. Turning Point has indicated they would
not be interested in continuing with the contractual relationship
based upon the requirements that they have a depreciating contract
over the years. Therefore, staff is asking to use a more generic term
for the purposes of submitting the application to HUD and calling it
Youth Outreach Workers and for the exact implementation of that
program to be determined at a later date. That will give a category
that HUD will accept. Those are the only staff changes.
Mayor Bay opened the public hearing and the following people gave their input:
Tony Barobon, 136i West Cerritos, #90, Anaheim, Project Coordinator
for the Gang Intervention Prevention Project, Turning Point Family
Services.
Turning Point had to renege on their contract because it was a
depreciating contract. It is the only City contract he has with
depreciating funding and it is not right. It does not mean they are
giving up on the City of Anaheim youth.
Betty Ronconi, 1241 South Walnut, Acting Clmirperson, H.O.M.E. #65,
the Jeffrey/Lynn area.
They are supportive of the recommendations made by the South Anaheim
Neighborhood Council (SANC) and the St. Boniface Parish Organizing
Committee (SBPOC). Meeting human needs in the Jeffrey/Lynn area
should be high priority. CDBG Funding is an opportunity for the
Council to allow cooperation among government and private agencies,
business interests and the private sector.
Joe Rodenbour, 604 North Clementine.
Approximately 115 people are present in the Chamber audience
representing the St. Boniface Parish Organizing Committee regarding
the establishment of a community center in the Jeffrey/Lynn area. The
organization has done thorough research of the situation with renters,
homeowners, H.0.M.E. #65, landlords, Disneyland and religious
congregations. Their presentation will consist of four speakers.
Delia Barella, 1111 Citron Street, speaking through an interpreter,
Fernando Diaz.
She represents the Jeffrey/Lynn community which suffers from
prostitution, vandalism, violence, poor health care, drug addition and
alcoholism. The best solution for their community is a community
center where they can guide their youth and community. If the Council
wants to do something about the problems in their community, then a
community center should be started as soon as possible. They have
also met with the Orange County Consortium which group will work with
the community in dealing with their problems. She urged that the
community center be taken into consideration not under a study but
102
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1988, 6:37 P.M.
that it be started immediately so that it could be working for the
community rather than taking the time to study the community.
Jose Barietos, speaking through the interpreter, stated he is also
representing the Jeffrey/Lynn community and has been living there for
almost ten years. He explained his concern and that of the community
for the children who are at an age when they can be pulled into drugs,
gangs and prostitution. These things happen in the community in the
evening when the children go out to play. It is due to lack of
professional help in the area such as a social worker and youth
guidance assistance that a community center could provide, it is very
much needed in the Jeffrey/Lynn area.
Jacob Felder.
He and his wife have owned property in the Jeffrey/Lynn area for
almost ten years. They are supporting the interest of the community
by participating in the work of the St. Boniface Parish Organizing
Committee's work. There are those who are investing in the area by
making numerous improvements. The business community has also
demonstrated some interest as indicated by a meeting with Mr.
Lindquist of the Disneyiand Corporation who is showing strong interest
in participating in a community self-help type program. The City's
participation is also needed. Mr. Felder then answered questions
posed by Mayor Bay relative to how he limits occupancy in his
apartments. The Mayor had asserted that a lot of the problems in the
area are due to over-occupancy and overcrowding which is allowed by
some apartment owners.
Father John Lenihan, 120 North Janss (Pastor - St. Boniface Church).
The issue is not just the concern of a few people living in the
apartments in the Jeffrey/Lynn area - it is a whole City vision.
Thirty-four million people visit Anaheim annually. The issue is one
that will affect the whole City's ability to maintain its image and it
is an extremely important economic issue. The menial labor done in
the Disneyland area hotels is done by the people who live in
Jeffrey/Lynn. It involves a basic right to a good life and it is
necessary to look at creative ways to make that life a quality life.
In a meeting with the Parks and Recreation Department yesterday there
was agreement that there are huge problems and something must be
done. They discussed the problems relative to particular sites in
terms of parks because of Edison easements and a certain section owned
by the Utilities Department. They would like to keep that option
open. However, their major focus is to move to the central vision of
a community center. He feels that the City does not have a good track
record in terms of studies. They are concerned with the first step
being a good first step, one that promotes self growth and something
from within rather than without. A lot of study has already been
done. Their hope and dream now is that there would be some building
right in the middle of the Jeffrey/Lynn community. They want to have
the Council direct the Parks and Recreation Department to begin right
away studying the possibility of some kind of site for a community
center. They do not want it to go on a long range study basis. Fifty
103
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1988, 6:37 P.M.
thousand dollars is a lot of money to start with. They are concerned
that a $50,000 study will get farmed out to some group who does not
get involved with the people. They like the Orange County Consortium
because they talk to the people and will do a study for a lot less
than $50,000. He also has a letter from Disneyland and they are very
supportive of any kind of plan. (He read a portion of the letter).
T~e hope is that the community center will be phase I and a mini-park
phase II. That is what their concern is all about.
Jerry Resch, 1317 Castle Avenue, Acting Chairman of the South Anaheim
Neighborhood Council. He was also an owner of property for 8 years in
the Jeffrey/Lynn area. As a neighborhood Council, they have been
working on the problems in that area trying to solve them. He is
expressing the Neighborhood Council's support for what has thus far
been said tonight.
Hector Magnani.
He has lived in the area for 33 years. It was a nice area. When the
apartments were proposed to be built, the residents opposed them. In
1984 at the request of the residents the Council instituted
resident-only parking in the area which helped. Regarding the request
for a park, Stoddard park is only two blocks away. The problems that
are experienced in that area are problems that start in the home.
Dagoberto Zavala, Central American Services of Anaheim (C.A.S.A.),
1120 West Santa Aha Street, Anaheim.
His concern goes to the Central American and Spanish community at
large. T~ey have developed an agency, the Central American Services
of Anaheim dealing with the problems of the Central American
community. As refugees, they are facing conditions totally different
than those they faced in the countries from which they came. They
have been doing outreach for their community working with people who
are in need of medical assistance and other problems. He is asking
for support and funding for the organization to assist in these
problems.
Maury Abrams, Chairperson, Board of Trustees, Unitarian Church of
Orange County.
He is ~p~aking in support of tha proposal of C.A.S.A. for funding. He
urged the Council to consider the problems of the Central American
community. Their problems will continue as long as those groups are
not integrated into the community.
Rolando Castillo, University of California Irvine, Department of
Medicine stationed at the North Orange County Community Clinic in
Anaheim which provides medical services for the NOC Region. He
supports the request of C.A.S.A. The Central Am__arican population is
migrating to the United States for very different reasons than those
of other Latin American countries. Considering there is a war taking
place, the community residents are exhibiting a variety of physical
illnesses and mental health needs. Unless these problems are
resolved, there will be negative consequences. Anaheim's assistance
is needed.
104
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1988, 6:37 P.M.
Amin David, 419 South Colt, Anaheim.
He is present to support his brother Dr. Castillo and Los Amigos of
Orange County who he is also representing as their president.
C.A.S.A. needs a place in the county where they can provide the
specialized services needed. There are political and economic
refugees coming to this country, either under pressure or who have
been invited. They strongly support the request as a preventive
measure as well as the proposal made by the St. Boniface Parish
Organizing Committee.
Joann Barnett, 313 North Plantation Place.
She has submitted a report from the Ad hoc Youth Task Force (see
report dated January 28, 1988 to City Manager/City Council from Ad hoc
Youth Task Force - subject project S.A.Y. Youth Outreach). They are
working with diminishing funds but doing well working with the two
agencies that are continuing their contract. With the termination of
the Youth Outreach contract with Turning Point, there will be a total
of approximately $44,000 remaining to fund youth outreach services.
It would be difficult to continue the present level of service with
only this amount of funding and services could only continue for an
additional 12 months. If granted, they would like the CDBG
contingency of $37,000 to be given to them to serve the Youth Outreach.
Mary Jones, 810 West Wilhelmina.
The conditions that exist in the Jeffrey/Lynn area are depreciating
which she knows is of great concern to the City. Since the area is in
St. Boniface Parish, she and her husband as parishioners are also
concerned that action be taken to rectify the situation. They propose
that the Council give serious consideration to giving immediate
attention to finding a solution to the problem as soon as possible.
It is for the good of the City and the good of all citizens.
Ron Bengochea, 1751 South Nutwood.
He is a strong advocate of drug awareness for all the youth in Anaheim
and Orange County as a whole. As a strong family man, he believes
that many of the problems can be taken care of in the home. He is not
sure that a community center is the answer. It is necessary to clean
up the element that is there and to police the area. If a community
center is built and the kids go there, it would be positive but only
with proper supervision, if mot, the "druggies" are going to be in the
center and the kids will be run out. Each neighborhood has to try to
patrol itself and put pressure on the bad elements.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Bay closed the public hearing.
RECESS: By general consent, the Council recessed for ten minutes.
(9:55 p.m.)
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present. (10:17 p.m.)
105
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1988, 6:37 P.M.
Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services.
Staff has been working on the problem, working with the CDBG meeting
process and the neighborhood. They recognize there is a problem in
the neighborhood which is a complicated one and something is going to
have to be done. What staff is asking is for $50,000 to do a study to
determine exactly the nature of the problem. What Jeffrey/Lynn is
asking for is basically the same thing, the only difference being the
solution which they have identified is a community center. Staff is
not sure that is the solution. There is no available land in the area
that he can identify. One answer may be to develop something at
Stoddard Park and the other to develop something internal within the
Jeffrey/Lynn area, possibly taking over one of the apartment buildings
for the outreach function. Staff feels a study is needed to know
whether that would be feasible. They are limited by the funding
available to them. Staff would use whatever portion of the $50,000
was needed for the study and the remainder for the implementation of
the study. They are also recommending $67,000 for outreach workers
for the neighborhood. He emphasized that a study is very much
needed. The Manzanita study that was done for the Chevy Chase area
has led to the development of a community center at Manzanita Park
which is about a $400,000 investment. Studies in the past have done
much good. It is better to be prudent and take the time to get a good
solution rather than just a fast solution.
Councilman Ehrle.
He noted that some speakers referred to the Orange County Consortium
to do the study. He asked if there are agencies that staff could
contact immediately so that a study could be done more expediently.
Chris Jarvi.
When staff met with the Jeffrey/Lynn people, the Consortium was
brought up. They are looking at where there had been models elsewere
in the county and similar areas to devise solutions for human needs.
They agreed with the group it was one of the things on which they
would work together.
After posing additional questions to staff relative to the feasibility
of locating a community center in the Jeffrey/Lynn area, available
land, lack of it, etc., Council Members first expressed their wish
that there would be enough funds available to do all of the things
requested not only tonight, but at the hearings before the
Communitywide CDBG Committee. In concluding, the Council consensus
relative to the Jeffrey/Lynn area was that a study is first necessary
to insure that whatever is done to assist in solving the problems of
the area is done correctly and that the study be done quickly.
Mayor Bay.
The idea of a community action task force was brought up by Father
Lenihan. He would encourage the private sector to get involved in the
problem. The public sector is involved to the limits within its own
fiscal constraints and the CDBG budget which comes to the City from
Federal funding. This year it represents an 8.7% reduction from the
106
City Hall, ~-aheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2~ 1988~ 6:37 P.M.
1987/88 and a supplement for backup activities which is a 2%
reduction. Unfortunately, the $2.1 million does not solve the
problems of the world or Anaheim or even the Jeffrey/Lynn area.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved that the Council support and approve the
recommendations of the Communitywide CDBG Committee as submitted in document
titled - Committee Recommendations for CDBG Program FY 1988/89 which includes
$50,000 for the Jeffrey/Lynn Apartment Area Human and Social Services
Studies/Implementation - which budget is in the amount of $2,121,000(A) with
backup activities of $80,000 for the Pearson Park restrooms, $39,000 for Hope
Hous~ and a contingency of $37,000 for a total of $156,000 and a grand total
of $2,277,O00(B).
Before further action was taken, Mayor Bay stated that the
Communitywide Committee does a tremendous job and it is difficult when
dealing with only so much money. The Committee has done their work,
and the recommendations have been made which are logical. Relative to
the Jeffrey/Lynn area, when the staff starts its study and
implementation of looking into whatever social services can be
provided within fiscal constraints that they look at the possibility
of setting up a public/private sector task force which not only
includes Disneyland, but also every one of the major hotels in the
tourist area who benefit from having that labor force close to their
operation. He would like to see all the hotels invited to join in a
Citywide problem on the Jeffrey/Lynn area because government cannot
solve all the problems. That, along with what he considers a very
fine division of the money by the Committee, is part of his motion.
Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. He also would like to see
with the efforts of the St. Boniface Organizing Committee and the
people in the community that they do not wait for a study but that
they get "mad", get into the area and help to clean it up.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
An important issue is the request of the Central American Services of
Anaheim (C.A.S.A.). Looking at the numbers of people as reported by
Mr. Zavala and those arriving in Anaheim - 180 were served this year
and that number is expected to expand to 3,600 in 1988/89. She would
like to see them meet with the Community Services Board to see what
kind of help can be worked out together so that they do not feel they
are forgotten and they can become productive citizens of the
community. The C.A.S.A. request for CDBG funds was $60,000.
Mayor Bay.
He noted that the recommended budget had $199,000 in contingency
funds. He asked staff's opinion taking $30,000 out of contingency to
fund one-half of the C.A.S.A. request.
Lisa Stipkovich.
Typically they like to have 10% contingency but since there are no
capital improvements involved in this program, they are not as
concerned about the contingency funds.
107
2O
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1988, 6:37 P.M.
Councilman Bay thereupon added to his motion that $30,000 be taken
from the $199,000 in contingency funds and address that to C.A.S.A.
Before action was taken, Councilman Pickler stated he does not know if
that is something he wants to do at this time. The Committee did not
say it was a priority and he would like to find out more before
approving those funds; Councilman Bay then withdrew that portion from
his original motion so that the two items could be acted on separately.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved that $30,000 be taken from the $199,000
contingency funds with those funds allocated to the C.A.S.A. organization.
Lisa Stipkovich.
There was a comment at one of the meetings by the Committee to have
the C.A.S.A. Agency approach the Community Services Board. The backup
projects listed were Pearson Park restrooms and Hope House which had a
little higher priority.
Joyce Tippery, Member of the Communitywide Committee.
The hour was late and the matter was overlooked. It was an oversite
on the Committee's part.
Gladys Wallace.
Her recollection was that the Committee never talked about the issue.
Councilman Pickler.
The contingency is there and perhaps they should get a written report
from the Committee and staff. There are other things they considered
more important. He is not ready to go along with the motion at this
time.
Councilman Ehrle.
He agrees with Councilman Pickier. He is not ready to allocate
$30,000 at this time even though it is a worthy cause. They could
vote on the matter any time in the next few weeks after they receive
more information.
Councilman Bay withdrew his motion relative to the C.A.S.A. request.
A vote was then taken on the original motion approving the budget as
recommended along with the recommendation that a public/private sector
task force be established so that together the problems of the
Jeffrey/Lynn area can be resolved.

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Armando Flores (Agent), 1771 West Glen.
He wants to make a living for his family and himself. A taco
stand is a very small place. He does not have very much money
but he can try to make it a beautiful place. The property has
been empty for almost 8 years. He will try to make it beautiful
for the City of Anaheim and for himself.

IN FAVOR NONE:
None.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN OPPOSITION:
Lillian Run0, 1120 Kenwood, Fullerton.
She and her husband own the property adjacent to, and north of
the proposed restaurant and are opposing the request. The
businesses on Manchester between Lincoln and Broadway have only
a few employees. The walk-up restaurant will be a drive-to
walk-up restaurant. Plans indicate only three parking spaces.
The applicant will operate with a maximum of three employees on
site. The site is too small to handle additional parking.
There is a severe parking shortage for customers. The
restaurant's customers will be parking on their property. Trash
will be difficult to control. Hours of operation are requested
from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Anyone will have an excuse to be
loitering in the rear parking area in the late hours when
business tenants have gone home for the day. The rear parking
109
City Mall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2~ 1988, 6:37 P.M.
area is secluded and concealed from Manchester. It would be a
place to peddle drugs, deface buildings and commit other
crimes. The business tenants agree that a walk-up restaurant
would create more problems than any positive impact on their
businesses. She submitted a petition opposing the granting of
Conditional Use Permit No. 2972 signed by the business tenants
of National Picture Frames, Mini Buggy, Imperial Screen and
Anaheim Foam 'n Fabrics, those businesses in the property that
she and her husband own.
June McIntyre, 917 West Sycamore.
She does not believe Mr. Flores could possibly meet the
conditions placed upon him by staff. With the dedications
required of the City, the applicant has to come up with a lot of
square footage he does not have. The proposed bathroom will
open to the outside in the direction of the residential home. A
trash dumpster will be required but s~e does not know where it
can be put. It will be in view of the home across the street.
It is her family home where she was born and her brother now
lives on the property. She feels a high moral obligation to
protect his living space. This is not the place for a walk up
restaurant.
Steve Tamborine, 1185 West Locust.
It is a poor location for a restaurant. It is bad from a
traffic standpoint and there are no sidewalks. It will not even
be a marginal value walk-up. There is also a safety factor.
There is a lot of transient traffic. There are other risk
factors since it is a good location for stop and rob. There is
no security. It is not a typical taco stand. There are no
facilities or adjacent buildings that stay open in the area.
SUMMATION BY APPLICANT: Mr. Flores.
The business will be operated by himself and his wife. The food
will be prepared under clean conditions. He has been working in
restaurants for almost 20 years and he knows how to handle food.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
She noted that the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. covered a
long span of time. One of the letters the Council received
stated they would have no objection if the business closed at
6:00 p.m.
Mr. Flores stated he would agree to closing at 6:00 p.m. He
also confirmed that he is leasing the land.
Councilman Pickler.
The safety and health standards fall under county jurisdiction.
Relative to City imposed conditions, the applicant will have to
fulfill all conditions in order to do business. He has no
problem with what Mr. Flores wants to do. If it gets to the
110
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1988, 6:37 P.M.
point where the business will be using somebody else's parking
spaces, the tenants will start complaining. If there are
problems, there can be hearings on why the CUP should not be
revoked. He feels Mr. Flores should be given the opportunity to
establish his business. While he realizes there is a residence
in the area, he does not feel it belongs there as everything
around it is commercial or industrial.

Pickler, seconded by Councilman Bay, the City Council approved the negative

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Barry Sullivan, 155 North Riverview, Anaheim Ca. 92808.
The original plan submitted showed a residence at 36.5 feet in
height based on the interpretation of the measurement taken from
the highest point of finished grade or the lot site of the
property. The property is a steep sloping site 90 feet by 230
feet in depth sloping away from the street. The driveway comes
off Penny Lane. From the street side, the house is 1-story high
or 15 feet high from Penny Lane. In order to reach the building
pad which is 20 feet below the street, he tried to keep the
residence as low as possible but still being able to construct a
driveway into the structure. They have been before the Zoning
Administrator three times with the proposal. The third time
there were several opposing positions expressed. One suggestion
was a flat roof. They subsequently devised a plan with a flat
roof. Therefore, the current height being requested is 29 feet,
6 inches and not 36 feet 5 inches. The exact same floor plan
and foot print is being proposed but with a fiat roof.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN FAVOR: None.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN OPPOSITION:
Mitzy Ozaki, 340 Timken Road.
The canyon is a particularly beautiful area which is there for
everyone to share and enjoy except when man decides to destroy
that beauty. The City years ago recognized the assets and the
beauty of the canyon area which inspired them to write the
scenic corridor overlay zone. She read some of the provisions
contained in that Code. The proposed structure, once
11 1/2 feet over Code, now 5 feet, is not in keeping with the
Mohler Drive hillside estates. There is no hardship involved.
Mohler Drive residents have consistently opposed any proposed
violation of the standards. They are totally opposed to any
precedent-setting compromise and are looking to the Council to
maintain the integrity of the Mohler Drive area.
Craig Painter, 767i Cordo Road.
He is speaking on behalf of the people in the Mobier canyon
area. He expressed concern over a variance that was somehow
granted in the area to the displeasure of the residents. The
Council must do everything to maintain the standards that have
been established in the area.
112
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 2, 1988, 6:37 P.M.
Mr. McNames, 320 So. Timken Road.
He referred to the five-page document he submitted to the
Council concerning Variance No. 3726 (received February 2, 1988,
submitted to the Council and made a part of the record). He
briefed portions of the extensive and detailed information
contained therein. He referred to a variance granted in 1986 on
the property adjacent to the subject property. The residents
were very aware that the variance was granted and it is being
used as a justification for the subject variance. Because one
mistake was made is not justification to continue it. They have
all adhered to the City ordinance. The first house on Timken
asked for a variance and the Council said no. The house was
built at 25 feet. The applicant must adhere to the same rules.
Marty Sullivan, 917 So. Glasseil.
They are planning to live in this house and will try to do the
best they can. She is also concerned about the beauty of the
canyon.
SUMMATION BY APPLICANT:
Barry Sullivan.
He rebutted the comments made by the opponents. The property is
unique relative to the properties on either side. They cannot
adhere to the 25-foot height. He has looked at 15 different
ways of trying to get to 25 feet. They propose putting a bank
of trees across the base so that only 25 feet of the structure
will be visible. They had nothing to do with the existing
condition of the lot. They intend to enhance it, landscape it
and put an attractive residence on it.
Audrey Day.
Answering Councilwoman Kaywood, she stated that Mr. Suliivan's
purchase of the property is contingent upon his plans being
approved today.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Bay closed the public hearing.
Councilman Hunter.
He is in favor of adhering to the scenic corridor overlay zone
ordinance. The height should be maintained at 25 feet, not only
for this residence but for all the rest.
