AI~ - 123; AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT - PA1 INVESTMENTS: Approving an
affordable Housing Agreement with the developer, Pal Investments, for two
affordable units out of proposed 12 units at 719 and 723 West La Palma Avenue,
for a term of 20 years. Submitted was report dated December 12, 1988 from the
Community Development Department, recommending that the Council approve the
terms and conditions contained within the affordable housing agreement
proposed between the City of Anaheim and PAI Investments.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that the term of affordability of the units as
stated in the agreement is 20 years. She asked if the time limitation could
be extended to 30 years.
City Attorney, Jack White. That would be a matter of negotiation. If it is
agreeable between the two parties, it could be extended to 30 years. The only
mandatory control is for 20 years.
Since Housing staff was not present, Councilwoman Kaywood asked that the
matter be held until later in the meeting.
Later in the meeting (3:17 p.m.) City Attorney White stated it is his
understanding that the owner of the project is present and willing to
stipulate to 30 years affordability with the consent of City staff.
Brian Heller. The project is fully approved. If it is postponed to next
year, it will cost them approximately 915,000. To simplify matters, he would
like to have the agreement approved as is but if the final choice is to
approve it for 30 years or not at all, they would be willing to go along
provided it does not postpone the project in any way. The agreement takes the
signature (and notarization) of the owner and the City.
Mayor Hunter. Since the developer would have a lot of redoing of paperwork to
initiate the project, he asked if Mr. Heller would stipulate some time at a
future date to 30 years vs. 20 years and if that would not resolve the problem.
City Attorney White answered that could be done.
Mr. Heller emphasized that it would be necessary that Planning and Building
have some documentation saying that the agreement has been approved on that
basis.
1167
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 20, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
City Attorney White. The agreement will be recorded. He suggested that they
take the existing document as signed and interlineate 20 years to 30 years and
subsequently have it initialed by the signators which would take very little
time. Nothing is being held up as a result of the affordability. He cannot
make any representation on behalf of Building or Planning.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator. She does not see any reason why
Planning would have a concern. She will make certain that the appropriate
staff person is aware of what has occurred today.
MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to approve the affordable housing
agreement with the developer, Pai Investments, for two affordable units out of
proposed 12 units at 719 and 723 West La Palma Avenue, for a term of 30 years
in~tead of 20 years. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
105; RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT TO pARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION:
Submitted was letter dated December 7, 1988 from the Anaheim Union High School
District reporting that the Board of Trustees of the District appointed Jo Ann
Barnett to continue as their representative to the Anaheim Parks and
Recreation Commission for another term beyond the current expiration date of
June 30, 1989.
MOTION; Councilman Pickler moved to ratify the appointment of Jo Ann Barnett
as representative for the Anaheim Union High School District to the Anaheim
Parks and Recreation Commission for the term expiring June 30, 1992.
Councilman Ehrle seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
105; RF~P¥OINTMENTS TO THE ANAHEIM YOUTH COMMISSION: Submitted was report
dated December 2, 1988 from the Director of Parks, Recreation and Community
Services regarding Youth Commissioner term expirations and recommending that
certain Commissioners be appointed for an additional term.
MOTION; Councilwoman Kaywood moved to approve the recommendation by the Youth
Commission that Kurt Tiedke, Juan-Carlos Martinez and John Moselina be
reappointed to fill their terms which expired December 1, 1988. Councilman
Ehrle seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
185/128/~71; DETERMINING POLICY ON ESTABLISHMENT OF MELLO-ROOS DISTRICTS FOR
THE THREE RANCH DEVELOPMENTS IN EAST ANAHEIM HILLS: Submitted was an
extensive report dated December 15, 1988 from the Mello-Roos project team
(Greg Trombley, Public Works/Engineering, Project Leader), recommending that
the Council determine their policy on the establishment of Mello-Roos
Community Facilities Districts for the Anaheim Highlands, Sycamore Canyon and
The S,,mmtt At Anaheim Hills developments.
City Manager Bob Simpson stated that it was necessary to determine at what
level Council wishes to have Mello-Roos Districts established which will be
explained by staff. Further, the Council instructed staff to cost out certain
items. That data is contained in the subject report.
Greg Trombley, Public Works/Engineering, Project Leader for Mello-Roos
referred to and briefed portions of his 9-page report attached to which were
1168
City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 20, 1988, 1;30 P.M.
Exhibits A through N which included proposed resolutions on each of the three
Ranches, three declaring the intention to establish a Community Facilities
District, authorizing the levy of special taxes pursuant to the Mello-Roos
Community Facilities Act of 1982; and to conduct a public hearing, and three
resolutions declaring the intention to incur bonded indebtedness of the
proposed Community Facilities Districts (1989-1, 1989-2, 1989-3) pursuant to
the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, and to conduct a public
hearing covering all three Ranch developments. (The detailed report covering
the entire issue was made a part of the record). Staff is looking for
direction from the Council to set a ceiling on the tax rate for policy
direction.
Councilman Pickler. Once the Council sets the rate, and he understands a
figure of 1.8 has been discussed, he asked if that would include all the items
listed by staff and by the developers and those would then be analyzed between
now and the time of the public hearing and staff could then come back to the
Council with additional data.
Greg Trombley answered yes, once the Resolutions of Intent have been filed by
the Council and a public hearing date set for the hearings. That public
hearing date would need to be set within a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 60
days from the passage of the Resolution of Intent to hold the public hearing
to discuss those options. Staff can come back and provide more detailed
information with regard to the options.
Mayor Hunter. It is his understanding at the public hearing, the Council
would make the decisions on those items that could be argued to be reasonable,
area-wide in nature and of benefit to the entire community of Anaheim Hills.
Councilman Pickler mentioned a 1.8 tax rate limit which does not mean that
will be the actual rate. At the time of the public hearing, that can be
"whittled" down to what is reasonable and what actually benefits the area,
area-wide. It is also his understanding that the tax rate for all three
Ranches would end up with a different taxable rate.
Answering Councilman Pickler who referred to the staff report (Page 2), City
Manager Simpson stated staff had already agreed it was very reasonable to
include Serrano Avenue (addition of Serrano Avenue) the bottom number on
Page 2 is the total amount the developers have come forward and requested from
the City. The distinction that is made in the staff report if that is
accepted and it becomes a tax rate, that is the tax rate agreed to by the
City. It does not include the addition of any Mello-Roos taxing or any other
funding mechanisms for schools or for any other purpose.
Extensive discussion then followed during which Council Members posed
questions to staff answered by City Manager Simpson, Greg Trombley and City
Attorney White, which discussions and questions either clarified and/or
elaborated upon the detailed data contained in the staff report. There were
clarifications concerning whether or not the Orange Unified School district
was going to have separate Mello-Roos Districts, the school tax rate, Sycamore
Canyon's need for a determination from the City on what is intended to be
included in order to move ahead with their model homes, the scope of
improvements to be included in the Mello-Roos Districts, etc.
1169
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 20. 1988. 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Hunter stated relative to Sycamore Canyon, he is going to move to accept
the resolution declaring the intent to establish a Community Facilities
District and included in that would be Serrano, Santa Aha Canyon Road, the
Police Substation and also the Weir Canyon extension.
Councilman Pickler interjected and stated if the Council sets a maximum tax
rate of 1.8 on all, they will not be buying into anything until the matter
comes back to the Council at a later date.
City Manager Simpson. If the Council is talking about the 1.8 as the rate
being established by the City, he asked if they were talking about including
the schools in that or only the City portion. If only the City portion, they
will be establishing a tax rate even above what the developers have asked
for. He also clarified for Councilman Pickler that if they establish a 1.8
ra~e and do not include individual items, they will not be holding up the
developers at this time.
Greg Trombley. Bond Counsel advised him that the Council can, (1) approve the
resolutions proposed with an amendment to include whatever capital projects
they would like, or (2) if the Council establishes a 1.8 ceiling, staff would
have to figure out what the dollar amounts equate to to be incorporated into
the resolutions, it would take another step and staff would have to bring back
another Resolution of Intent.
During further deliberations, City Attorney White asked for clarification if
the Mayor was offering the first resolution regarding the Sycamore Canyon
project with an addition to Exhibit A to add in Weir Canyon Road as an
additional item to be financed; Mayor Hunter answered that was correct.
The City Attorney then explained that the second resolution relating to the
maximum tax and the intent to incur bonded indebtedness contained several
different real dollar figures that will then be affected by the fact that in
the first resolution, Weir Canyon was added in. That resolution should be
offered with the understanding that all those numbers must then correspond to
the rest of the improvements that are in the first resolution which would
include Weir Canyon Road.
Councilwoman Kaywood expressed her concern again as she did earlier that
adding Weir Canyon to the rest of the improvements is a gift and it was not
requested. Further, it is a matter of adding $1,680 in additional taxes per
year to the homeowner and in some cases for 25 years. She urged that the
Council think carefully about saddling new homeowners with such an addition.
The idea of adding Weir Canyon concerns her. The developers all signed
agreements making them responsible for all of the costs that every former
developer has been responsible for. On the Santa Aha Canyon Road widening,
there is no question the City had the intent to do that and it is of area-wide
benefit. She does not agree with Weir Canyon or Serrano. She also asked the
City Manager if he felt there was no difference between Serrano and the
acceleration of Serrano.
City Manager Simpson. The motion of Council was to include only those costs
caused by the acceleration of Serrano. Staff could not identify such costs.
1170
54
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 20, 1988, ~;30 P.M.
They were almost insignificant for the acceleration and would have been done
based on the timing of the various Ranch developments. The impact of the
Ranches on Serrano is minimal compared to what the rest of that area was.
Therefore, it seems reasonable to him for the City to fund the Serrano
connection.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. He referred to Exhibit B-6 of the staff report
which identifies four improvements requested by the developer for Sycamore
Canyon. There is a break out for Weir Canyon Road that identifies two
separate improvements the Serrano/Weir Canyon connection of approximately
$2.86 million and item four, the Weir Canyon Road extension that goes
southerly of the Weir-Serrano connection to the S,,mmtt Ranch on the south
which is an additional $1.9 million.
Grig Trombley. In the staff report under the three options, staff listed for
Council's choice not only the construction costs for each project or scenario,
but also the bonded indebtedness. On Sycamore Canyon, (Page 5 of the staff
report) the capital projects as proposed by the developer, the bonded
indebtedness would be $8,360,087 which does include Weir Canyon.
Councilman Daly. He surmised the maximum bonded indebtedness being
recommended for Sycamore Canyon which could include Weir Canyon is $8,360,087
with a maximum tax rate 1.57. That is the highest level staff has recommended.
Mr. Trombley answered that was correct under that scenario which he confirmed
was the broadest scenario of all.
After further discussion about setting the tax rate ceiling, Councilman
Pickler again recommended that the 1.8 figure be adopted for all Ranches at
this time; Councilman Ehrle stated he had no problem doing that because it
will allow flexibility. As previously noted, the maximum tax rate figure
recommended was 1.57.
City Manager Simpson. He does not know where the 1.8 figure came from but if
the Council wishes to set that as a maximum, that is acceptable. Even the
developer's request which staff has not analyzed does not total 1.8 but 1.6.
However, staff will need to go back and convert 1.8 to a dollar figure.
Councilwoman Kaywood emphasized they are talking about shifting the cost which
is normally borne by the developer to the new homeowners. Unless they are
prepared to see a lot of people lose their homes, she urged again that the
Council consider carefully what they are doing.
Mayor Hunter. Those concerns are issues that will be dealt with in the public
hearing. He thereupon withdrew the resolution he was earlier proposing
relative to Sycamore Canyon alone and offered the following resolutions for
adoption, establishing a 1.8 ceiling on the tax rate noting that the Council
could subsequently lower that rate but could not increase it.

(COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 1989-3 - THE SUMMIT).
Before action was taken, City Attorney White suggested an addendum to the
offering of the resolutions that they be offered with the clarification that
the resolutions will include such amendments as are necessary for them to be
consistent with the 1.8 tax rate. Staff will make all the dollar amount
changes.
Mayor Hunter included the addendum as articulated by the City Attorney.
Councilman Daly. He spoke with the City Manager yesterday about various
projects that would be subject to negotiations. He asked if the only projects
on the table will be those outlined in Exhibit A; City Manager Simpson stated
that if the project is not on the list and the list is adopted, the Council
will be limited to discussion of only those projects listed.
Councilman Daly. He would like to suggest that the Council consider adding to
the list the possibility of park improvements and golf course improvements in
1172
59,
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES December 20, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
the Anaheim Hills area. He confirmed for Councilman Pickler that he is
talking about adding those to each of the Ranches for discussion and
negotiation but only to the 1.8 maximum.
Mayor Hunter. These are items being offered for inclusion that Sycamore
Canyon is not even asking for on their "wish list".
City Attorney White, answering Councilman Pickler stated those items could be
added the only difficulty being to make sure the list of improvements
remains consistent with the maximum bonded indebtedness and the tax rate. If
they are added to the list of improvements without raising the ceiling, there
is only so much money for improvements. There are two different maximums -
the list of improvements to choose from and the tax rate maximum and dollar
limits on bonded indebtedness. After the public hearing, those have to equal
OU~.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing resolutions offered by Councilman
Hunter with the clarification as stated by the City Attorney and also
including park improvements anywhere in Anaheim Hills and golf course
improvements.

The Mayor declared Ordinance No. 4985 duly passed and adopted.
City Clerk Sohl asked if the Council wished to begin meeting on the new
schedule of Council night meetings the first and third Tuesdays of the month
beginning January 1, 1989. (No meeting to be held January 3, 1989).
City Attorney White. The Council has already adopted resolutions under the
Housing Authority and the Redevelopment Agency setting their meetings
co~encing the first of the year for the first and third Tuesdays of each
month at 5:30 p.m. To be consistent, the City Clerk, with the consent of the
Council, could adjourn the Council meeting of January 17, 1989 from the normal
meeting time of 12 noon (Closed Session) to 4:00 p.m. and start just as if the
ordinance were in effect.
The Council concurred.
142/114; SELECTION PROCESS FOR THE TEN-MEMBER BLUE RIBBON CHARTER REVIEW
COMMITTEE: Discussion to consider the process of selecting the ten members of
the Blue Ribbon Go~u~ittee to review the City Charter. This matter was
continued from the meetings of December 6 and December 13, 1988, to this
date. (See minutes those dates).
Councilman Ehrle. He is opening for discussion again his proposal that the
Council Members each have an appointee totalling five and that through the
conu~unity at large by letters of interest or making their interest know~ to
the Council,. that the five remaining members be appointed from that group.
Councilwoman Kay~ood. She referred to the report received from the City
Manager/City Attorney dated December 9, 1988 and noted that the prior
Committee established in 1978, also consisting of ten members, was formed by
each Council Member n~ing two people but with the full Council approving all
ten. It worked out very well and she would like to see the same procedure
followed.
Councilman Daly. Councilman Ehrle's suggestion is a slight modification of
the 1978 selection process with each Council Member nominating one person with
an additional five to be selected from those expressing interest, but all
subject to a majority vote of the Council. He was in favor of that process.
Councilman Ehrle moved that the process for determining the ten appointees to
the Blue Ribbon Charter Review Committee be that each Council Member nominate
one person and that five additional nominees be nominated from letters of
interest received from the community with all nominees subject to a majority
Council vote. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

like to assure in the advertising of the call for applicants for the Committee
that there is sufficient time to reach a broad base.
Councilman Pickler moved that appointments to the Blue Ribbon Charter
Committee be made at the Council meeting of Tuesday, January 31, 1989.
Councilman Hunter seconded the motion. Councilwoman Kaywood voted no as she
preferred the appointment date to be January 24, 1989. MOTION CARRIED.
179/142: ORDINANCE NO. 4987 - PERMITTING BILLBOARDS BY CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT; Adding, amending and repealing various sections of various chapters
of Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to billboards by
conditional use permit. Staff was directed to prepare a revised ordinance at
the meeting of December 6, 1988 (see minutes that date).
City Attorney White explained for Councilman Pickler that the subject proposed
ordinance is identical to the current ordinance with one exception, that it
will make billboards conditional uses in certain zones as listed in the staff
report (see report dated December 8, 1988 from the City Attorney). It was
necessary in doing that to change various sections that are in the ordinance
that now permit billboards as a matter of right to convert that over to the
CUP process. Some of the sections in the Code are being restated. No
regulations have been changed in the existing Code provision other than
permitted uses to conditional uses.
Councilman Pickler offered Ordinance No. 4987 for first reading.
ORDINANCE NO. 4987: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM ADDING, AMENDING AND
REPEALING VARIOUS SECTIONS OF VARIOUS CHAPTERS OF TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO BILLBOARDS.
RECESS: By general consent the Council recessed for ten minutes. (2:59 p.m.)
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present. (3:21 p.m.)
It was determined at this point that the Council would not go directly to
public hearings but instead discuss critical intersections since there were
many people in the Chamber audience who were present on that item.
134/172; DISCUSSION - CRITICAL INTERSECTIONS AND CITY TRANSPORTATION NEEDS'
Discussion to consider setting a public hearing on Critical Intersections -
General Plan Amendment No. 210 adopted on August 16, 1988, and to consider
setting a work session date to discuss the entire scope of transportation
needs in Anaheim.
Keith Corzine, Chairman, Transportation Committee, Anaheim Chamber of Commerce
and District Manager of the Automobile Club of Southern California. He is
appearing today as Chairman of the Transportation Committee representing the
Chamber of Commerce. He then read a prepared statement, a synopsis of which
is as follows. The Chamber is representing the business community and
1175
47
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 20, 1988, 1:30 P,M.
recognizes the necessity of being proactive in planning for the future. They
compliment' the City and staff for the farsightedness in developing General
Plan Amendment No. 210 covering the critical intersection program. Anaheim's
program as it exists ties in with the Orange County Transit Districts Master
Arterial Highway Plan. The Chamber feels the implementation of the critical
intersection program is just that - critical. The Critical Intersection
program and the Transportation Corridor program, in its entirety proposed by
staff and approved by the City, does not need further study but immediate
implementation.
Mr. Corzine then added before concluding that he is recognized mostly as
Manager of the Automobile Club. He has taken the liberty of having the Club's
Transportation Engineering staff look at Anaheim's critical intersection
prggram. The Automobile Club fully supports the fundamental concept of
coordinated land use and circulation general plan statements. They view the
City of Anaheim's approach to identifying critical intersections a positive
effort to meet traffic growth and projections in the community. The club
supports this effort. Further, they commend Anaheim's Public Works and
Traffic Engineering staff for their leadership in developing a comprehensive
planning and transportation policy program and see that effort as an important
model for Orange County and other southern California communities.
Councilman Daly. One of the things on his mind when he asked for a workshop
was full disclosure to the Council and citizens of the enormous backlog of
projects facing CalTrans and the economic shortfalls that exist in the
CalTrans budget over the next five years which will result in long time
frames, if the City expects CalTrans to fund and build the very important
bridge and interchange projects. That is the information he hopes to get from
staff during the workshop. It will then be possible to determine where the
City's other transportation priorities fit in.
Councilwoman Kaywood. In the work session, she feels that many questions will
be answered and after such a work session, it will be possible to set a public
hearing; Councilman Daly stated a public hearing on critical intersections is
necessary in any event. He is convinced there is a need for some adjustment
to be made on the critical intersection plan. He has serious questions about
the scope of the plan and believes that other priorities exist. He intends to
find every dollar he can for accelerating the interchange and bridge
projects. A 33-intersection plan is too broad for him and a public hearing is
needed to be held the week following the work session.
Councilman Daly thereupon moved that a public hearing be set for Tuesday,
January 31, 1989 at 3:00 p.m. to consider revisions to the City's Critical
Intersection Plan.
Before action was taken, Mayor Hunter felt the public hearing date would
perhaps be premature, that after the workshop the Council can decide whether
or not a full blown public hearing is necessary.
Councilwoman Kaywood. She also feels that setting a public hearing at this
time is premature. Since the work session will be in depth, after it is
concluded, they can determine if a public hearing is needed. If it is set at
1176
48
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES December 20, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
this time, the public hearing will already be advertised and it may not be
necessary but it will still have to be held.
Councilman Ehrle. He agrees with Councilman Daly in evaluating the shortfalls
and also holding a public hearing. He thereupon seconded the motion.
A vote was then taken on the motion by Councilman Daly, seconded by Councilman
Ehrle, that a public hearing on the Critical Intersection Plan be set for
Tuesday, January 31, 1989 at 3:00 p.m. Councilwoman Kaywood voted no. MOTION
CAPRIED.
176; PUBLIC HEARING - ABANDONMENT NO, 88-6A; In accordance with application
filed by Bill Taormina (Anaheim Disposal Company), 2761 White Star Avenue,
Anaheim, CA 92806, public hearing was held on proposed abandonment of a
portion of Blue Gum Way between Blue Gum Street and White Star Avenue and that
portion of White Star Avenue lying westerly of Blue Gum Street, pursuant to
Resolution No. 88R-404 duly published in the Anaheim Bulletin on December 1
and December 8, 1988, and notices thereof posted in accordance with law.
Report of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer dated November 7, 1988,
was submitted recommending approval of said abandonment.
Mayor Hunter asked if anyone wished to address the Council regarding the
proposed abandonment; there being no response he closed the public hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION; On motion by Councilman
Hunter, seconded by Councilman Pickler, the City Engineer also determined that
the proposed activity falls within the definition of Section 3.01, Class 5 of
the City of Anaheim guidelines to the requirements for an Environmental Impact
Report and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the requirement to file an
EIR. MOTION CARRIED.

PLANNING STAFF INPUT:
See Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated November 21, 1988.
APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Kent Boydstun, representing the developer.
He has been before the Council on the project in the past. It
started out as a 31-unit, 3-story project. They subsequently
met with the neighborhood and came back with 28 units and other
conditions. It was approved by the Planning Commission and
following that set for a public hearing by the Council at which
time the project was denied because it was felt the density was
too high. The project has since been redesigned and is now a
2-story, 24-unit senior citizen apartment complex. A senior
housing complex will put the least amount of traffic on Gilbert
Street. It is well designed ~nd does not intrude upon the
neighbors. He has spoken with Dr. Smith who feels there are no
longer any problems but there are a couple of conditions that
the immediate property owners to the north have asked for and
which the developer is willing to accommodate Re: Condition
No. 19 which calls for a 6-foot block wall. In August they
agreed to construct an 8-foot wall with the consent of both
1178
City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 20, 1988, 2:30 P,M.
property owners. Re: Condition No. 31 that there be a steel
ribbon on the south side of the fence to protect the wall from
being backed into. They would also be willing to do that.
There was also a pedestrian access to Bruce street but they have
agreed to block that access. He would like approval of the
project and is willing to make the initial modifications as
stated.
Dr. Clark Smith.
He is a 25-year resident of the neighborhood and is speaking for
the neighbors. Regarding density, when the Code is ignored
relative to density levels, it impacts on the entire
neighborhood. One of his definitions of a slum is over
population. However, the density issues have now been dealt
with in a manner that they can live with. Relative to the steel
ribbon, it should be on poles and not bolted into the wall. If
those issues are addressed along with the pedestrian walkway
there should no longer be a problem. By closing the walkway
off, it will cut down the foot traffic in the area which is not
good or safe for the residents.
Mrs. Pritz.
She owns the property adjoining the project. She is present
with Dr. Smith and they are happy with the suggestions - the
8-foot wall and also the steel poles and then the ribbon, not
the ribbon directly on the wall. She is also pleased with
eliminating the access to Bruce Street.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN FAVOR: Herb Eggett, 904 South Bruce Street.
He is strongly supportive of the project and cannot think of a
nicer project for the property. The residents have lived with
the vacant lot eyesore for many years. There can be nothing
worse than what is on the property now. He urged Council
approval of the project.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN OPPOSITION:
None.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing.
City Attorney White.
He noted that the Code provides a maximum 6-foot wall height
limit. In order to approve an 8-foot wall, a variance would
have to be granted which the public hearing has not been noticed
for. If the Council approves an 8-foot wall, it will be
necessary to continue the matter in order to do the proper
advertising.
1179
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 20, 1988, 1;30 P,M.
Mr. Boydstun.
They are in a time problem. The property has been in escrow
since July. He has a seller and it needs to be acted on today
so that escrow can close by the first of the year.
City Attorney White.
He recommended that the Council approved the project and then
amend the condition to say that an 8-foot wall will be required
which will require approval of a separate variance. The
applicant will have approval in order to start the project and
some time between now and final building inspections will have
to process the variance to construct the 8-foot wall.
EN~.IRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilman
Pickler, seconded by Councilman Hunter, 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.
WAIVER OF READING - RESOLUTION: The title of the following resolution was
read by the City Clerk. (Resolution No. 88R-442)
Councilman Pickler moved to waive the reading in full of the resolution.
Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Pickler offered Resolution No. 88R-442 for adoption, with amendment
to Condition No. 20 to include that an 8-foot block wall be constructed and
maintained along the north property line in the required areas but that a
variance for waiver of the maximum height must be filed by the petitioner and
approved prior to final building and zoning inspections and amending Condition
No. 8, that there be steel posts connected with steel ribbon installed between
the parking spaces which abutt the north property line and the block wall and
that access to Bruce Street be eliminated. Refer to Resolution Book.

Requested by Robert M. Fiscus, Tait and Associates, Inc, 800 N. Eckhoff
Street, P.O. Box 4429, Orange, CA 92613, for an interpretation of Condition
No. 12 of Resolution No. 88R-7 pertaining to separate public men's and women's
restrooms in connection with the convenience market/gasoline sales being
1180
44
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES December 20, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
developed on property at 2175 W. La Palma Avenue. Submitted was report dated
December 12, 1988 from the Planning Department, recommending denial of the
request thereby retaining the condition that separate men's and women's
restrooms be provided.
Robert M. Fiscus, Tatt and Associates, Consulting Engineers for Chevron. The
reason this situation has come about, the project as presented to the Planning
Commission' and City Council in the Exhibits always had one restroom, intended
to be a restroom for both men and women. The way Condition No. 12 was written
was vague - "during regular business hours of operation of subject facility
men's and women's restrooms shall be available to the public." Council's past
history is that they require two separate restrooms generally included in the
conditions of approval. They are proposing one restroom to be accessible for
men and women. The issue was never addressed until last week when they were
ready to pull permits. Chevron feels they are complying. It is a small site
with a small building of 950 square feet. For that reason, it only has one
restroom. They have already dedicated 12 feet to the City which reduces the
size even more and also are providing quite a bit of landscaping. It was
never a question and it was never addressed or brought up by the Planning
Commission or the Council. Nobody ever said anything about additional
requirements. They are requesting that the City Council find that Chevron is
complying with the intent of the condition and that they can proceed with
their project. They are in the process of having the building fabricated.
They are not asking to be alleviated of the obligation to provide a restroom
but that the Council interpret that they are in compliance. The actual
wording of the condition does no say two separate restrooms.
Councilman Pickler. The proposed project is going to be an improvement to
that corner. He has no problem with just one restroom. He thereupon moved
that the Council approve an interpretation of the condition allowing one
restroom that will serve both men and women.
Before action was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood stated she is going to speak
against the motion. She feels it is necessary to have two restrooms.
Mr. Fiscus. He understands but theirs is a site sight with a small building.
They thought they were in compliance. They will be addressing dual restrooms
and will be happy to provide those in the future.
Councilman Daly seconded Councilman Pickler's motion for the purpose of
discussion. He then posed questions to Mr. Ftscus.
Mr. Fiscus confirmed that he was dedicating 12 feet along both La Palma Avenue
and Brookhurst Street, providing quite a bit of landscaping, and the 35-foot
logo and price sign presently on the property will remain.
Councilman Daly. He is willing to make an exception on the project in terms
of providing only one unisex restroom but in exchange is asking that the
applicant drop the sign down 20 feet to conform to more modern sign standards.
City Attorney White. The matter before the Council today is clarification of
an ambiguity. If any other parts of the project are going to be changed, it
1181
4t
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 20, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
would be necessary to do so at a public hearing. Further, because Condition
No. 12 is specifically worded to say men's and women's restrooms it may be
appropriate to set the matter for a hearing in order to amend that condition.
Anntka Santalahtl, Zoning Administrator. As a condition of this particular
Conditional Use Permit, she believes that both the Planning Commission and
Council required that the two prior CUP's and a sign waiver be terminated.
There is a letter in her office at this time asking for termination and it
relates to the sign. The property is within 300 feet of residential zoning to
the northeast and the sign Code provides that the height shall not exceed 25
feet when located closer than 300 feet. The letter was received from a
representative of Chevron and she assumed they realized what they were asking
for.
Rogert Fiscus. They did submit the letter to Planning Staff and they will
conform. Since they are requesting a termination of the waiver and variance,
they can bring the sign down to 25 feet to conform. Further, he takes
exception to the City Attorney's contention that the wording of the condition
is explicit. In the past, it has been very explicit with two separate
facilities called out but in this case it is not. Physically there is no room
on the site to add another restroom. It will not fit on the site which was
redesigned in conjunction with the City Traffic Engineer. They closed two
driveways and maximized on-site circulation to set that up.
Bob Gilbertson, Chevron U.S.A., Project Manager. They purchased the property
and own it in fee. They met with Councilman Pickler at the site and showed
him the site plan. Councilman Pickler expressed the City's concerns in terms
of the critical intersection plan, access, etc. He (Gilbertson) then
explained what they did in redesigning the site which was explained at a
previous public hearing before the Council. If the application is approved,
it would remove the carwash from the property and relieve some of the pressure
on the site. They do feel the public is entitled to a separate men's and
women's restroom but also feel that the wording of the condition was
ambiguous. The issue was subsequently never raised. If required it will
create a problem building. Some of the pros and cons to a separate
"out-house" is a building with a separate men's and women's restroom but out
of the visibility and control of the cashier. Being a separate building it
will invite loitering, vandalism and possibly some drug dealing and will
perhaps not be as well maintained. The proposed restroom is fully visible to
the cashier and can be controlled from the cashiering area where complaints
can easily be registered if there is a problem.
MOTION; Councilman Pickler moved to interpret Condition No. 12 of Resolution
No. 88R-7 as requiring only one restroom. Councilman Daly seconded the
motion. Councilwoman Kaywood voted no. MOTION CARRIED.

REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
C17. 179: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO, 2169 - REQUEST FOR REVIEW OF REVISED
PLANS; Request from Dick Rogers from Safaris International Inc.,
(leaseholders) regarding property located at 4060 East La Palma.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of revised plans under
Conditional Use Permit No. 2169 to the City Council (labeled Exhibit Nos. 2
through 5), subject to amending existing Condition No. 3 and adding 9 new
conditions (Condition Nos. 5 through 13).
Councilwoman Kaywood moved to set a public hearing to consider revised plans
for Conditional Use Permit No. 2169. Councilman Daly seconded the motion.
MOTION CARRIED.
C18, 179; REQUEST FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF PROPOSED USE ("ART CATLERY" IN
CR ZONE: Th~ property is located at 2~1 West Katella Avenue. The applicant,
Nelson R. Brewart, Brewart Coins and Stamps, requested a determination from
the Planning Commission that his proposed use for the subject property is
considered to be an art gallery. His current business, Stamps and Coins
Collects business has been located at 403 West Katella since 1975. (See staff
report to the Planning Commission dated December 5, 1988).
After a brief Council discussion on the matter, City Attorney White explained
if the Council so directed him, he will prepare an ordinance either making the
requested use a permitted use in conjunction with art galleries or making it a
conditional use where each subject request would be processed on a conditional
use basis.
MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved to direct the City Attorney to prepare an
ordinance making the above a conditional use in the CR Zone. Councilwoman
Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

C19, 179; R~QUEST FOR CODE AMENDMENT ~ERTAINING TO BOWLING ALLEYS IN THE "ML"
ZONE; Request received from Chase O. Sanderson, Jr., Sanderson J. Day
Development, to permit bowling alleys as a conditional use in the ML Zone both
in and out of the Anaheim Canyon Industrial Area). Approval of the request is
recommended by the Planning Commission. (See staff report to the Planning
Commission dated December 5, 1988).
Councilman Pickler. He has a problem with this request even with a CUP. The
Industrial Area is one the City has been losing. Bowling alleys do not belong
in the Industrial Areas.
Councilwoman Kaywood. This use would also bring people from outside into the
Industrial Area. It should be reserved for uses that will create jobs. She
is.opposed.
Councilman Daly. The property is right next to the Camelot Recreation Area;
Councilman Ehrle noted in this one area there are already recreational uses.
Looking at the industrial base and knowing the concept of bowling alleys,
there are many industrial and City leagues which would attract a great many
adults from the hours of 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. He does not have a problem with
the proposal.
Further discussion followed wherein Council Members Pickler and Kaywood
elaborated on their concerns relative to maintaining the integrity of the
Industrial Area; Councilman Hunter noted that, if adopted, an ordinance would
permit such a use only under a CUP. Subsequently at the time the CUP is
requested, the Council can incorporate appropriate conditions.
MOTION: Councilman Hunter moved to direct the City Attorney to prepare an
ordinance permitting bowling alleys in the ML Zone, including the Canyon
Industrial Area, subject to the approval of a CUP. Councilman Daly seconded
the motion. Council Members Pickler and Kaywood voted no. MOTION CARRIED.

The Mayor declared Ordinance No. 4986 duly passed and adopted.
107/127/114; MOBILRHOME RENT STABILIZATION ORDINANCE - REQUEST FOR OUTSIDE
LEGAL COUNSEL: Councilman Ehrle. He referred to the subject proposed
ordinance which resulted from the petition initiative process. Last week the
Council requested a fiscal impact study. He is now suggesting that the
Council go to outside counsel for an analysis of the ordinance from a legal
point of view. The City Attorney had indicated it would be best to go to
outside counsel to do the analysis. (See minutes of December 20, 1988).
City Attorney White. If Council wishes to have a legal analysis done, he
would recommend it be done by outside counsel. If the ordinance is eventually
adopted, it provides that it has to be administered, in part, by the City
~rtorney's Office and enforced and defended. To avoid the appearance of a
conflict of interest in rendering an opinion as to the validity of the
ordinance and subsequently defending it, it would be best to use outside
counsel for an analysis. He also explained if the Council wishes to take
action today since they are under a 45-day time constraint, it would be
necessary under the Brown Act to find that there is a necessity to act upon
the matter today in order to afford outside counsel time to give an analysis
of the ordinance and, therefore, waiving the 72-hour posting provisions of the
Brown Act and instructing the City Attorney to have outside counsel review the
ordinance.

Ordinance and to submit a report to the Council within 45 days from

City Attorney White. He will use someone who is experienced in mobilehome
park matters and specifically in land control. He would also suggest a report
be brought back to the Council as an attorney - client privileged
communication and if the Gouncil wished to have the matter public, they could
then do so.
