City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 7~ 1987, 1:30 P.M.
PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY:
Publication in Anaheim Bulletin March 26, 1987.
Posting of property March 27, 1987.
Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - March 27, 1987.
PLANNING STAFF INPUT:
See Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated March 19, 1987 from the
Chief Building Official, Wayne West, recommending approval of the request
conditioned on compliance with the City of Anaheim Building, Plumbing,
Electrical and Mechanical Codes.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
This is the first time to her knowledge that a request for a
move-on has been received after the move-on has taken place.
APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Sam Difllippo, 1525 Dana Place, Fullerton, Ca. 92637.
His application was submitted to the Planning Department and the
Building Department some time ago. It was his understanding
that it had been approved and he subsequently requested a moving
company to move the building to 514 East Broadway. In the
process of doing so, he removed an old house and he plans to
improve the property for additional housing in the area. This
is his second project, the first located just around the corner
at 327 South Kroeger which the City approved in July of 1986.
That project is an enhancement to the neighborhood and the
current project will also be an enhancement. The Building
Department was requested to inspect the current building before
it was moved and it is his understanding that it passed
inspection.
Norm Priest, Director of Community Development & Planning.
The applicant has moved the building. He thought he had an
approval and moved the structure. Staff has no difficulty with
it and concurs with his application. Apparently there was a
missed signal and it was no more complicated than that. This is
the first time such a situation has occurred.
City Attorney Jack White.
In making a determination on the permit, the Council needs to
make certain findings under the Anaheim Municipal Code. If
approved, the decision must be based upon the following
findings: (1) That the structure proposed to be moved shall be
comparable in value, size, quality, design and appearance of
houses, buildings or structures in the area into which the
structure is to be moved. (2) It will not be detrimental to nor
diminish the value of property in the area. (3) Less than a
majority of the property owners in the area object to the moving
of the house, building or structure on to the property where it
is to be moved. If the Council does not make those findings and
does not determine to approve the permit, then the City has the
ability through both criminal and civil process to require that
the structure be moved off the property.

Cit~ Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES -April 7~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN OPPOSITION:
Glen McClellan, 511 East Broadway.
He can assure the Council that all the residents in the area are
all united and vehemently opposed to the project. Ne thereupon
submitted a petition containing 26 signatures which were
gathered in a short period of time (made a part of the record).
He also submitted a letter written in opposition by one of the
neighbors and photographs showing the structure which was
already moved on to the property, the garage area in the rear,
and also photographs showing the single-family residences in the
area. The neighborhood is very well maintained especially those
houses in the immediate surrounding area which will be dwarfed
by the large structure. All the residences were originally
built as single-family homes and only one had been converted
into a 3-unit apartment with no exterior modification so that it
still looks like a single-family home. Of all the people he
talked to not one failed to express their shock and disgust over
the fact that the structure has been moved since no one had
prior knowledge of the move or had seen any plans. It is not in
keeping with the style of the neighborhood. The neighborhood he
lives in, which is directly across the street, is in the
National Register of Historical Places. He reiterated there is
violent opposition to the move-on. He also questioned the
parking situation. He can only see that there is a four-car
garage that will be in the rear of the fourplex and he does not
know if that will meet parking Code requirements.
Donna Berry, 511 East Broadway.
She is requesting at least a continuance of the matter if not a
denial. The residents they were not able to contact at this
point would be more than willing to sign the petition in
opposition. She also contacted several off-site owners who were
not able to get to her to sign the petition. There is at least
one violation on the property relative to parking. The Code
requires 2.5 spaces per unit or a total of 10 spaces. There
appears to be only four parking spaces provided. There is also
no room for additional traffic on the alley. In talking with
several firemen from the main station located two parcels away,
the feeling is that a lot of additional cars in the area will be
dangerous. There are parking problems on Broadway even now.
Hugo Vazquez, 619 So. Live Oak Drive.
It is a surprise to see that the building was moved before the
move-on request had a public hearing. He does not doubt that
the parcel can be built out with units. With the proper study
and planning, a developer could build units on the property and
meet Code without requiring a public hearing. It would be in
the applicant's best interest if he submitted a color rendering
to the Council along with the plans and design of the units.
273
:1 97
Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 7~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
SUMM~.TION BY APPLICANT:
Sam Difilippo.
Relative to the parking, a plot plan was submitted to the
Building Department and Planning Department and the parking has
been satisfied. Behind the garage, between the garage and the
alley way, a carport will be constructed which will provide four
additional spaces. He will be happy to submit a rendering to
the City and property owners relative to the design. The
property is in a zone which permits four units to be developed
and that is the trend of development in that block. He will
also be happy to postpone the matter for a week and bring in
drawings of how the property will look when developed.
According to the mover, he did obtain a permit from the City to
move the building. He (Difilippo) was not involved in the
acquisition of the permit.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Bay closed the public hearing.
Norm Priest, Director of Community Development & Planning.
The building was acquired by Redevelopment but Redevelopment did
not participate in the move. After it was acquired by the
Agency, it was put up for sale and when the sale was concluded,
Redevelopment's involvement ended. It is the new owner's
obligation to seek a permit to place the structure on a parcel
he chooses. His mover advised he did have a permit or paperwork
of some sort for the parcel on which the structure was to be
moved. Staff has no record readily available of that and would
like time to investigate it in more depth. The inspection
referenced in the staff report is a Building Department report
to ensure the structure itself meets Code or could be made to
meet Code.
Mayor Bay.
Where the structure is presently located should not affect the
Council's decision because there was no permission given by the
Council to move the fourplex on to that parcel. His questions
are relative to the zoning in the area which is RM-1200. He
asked if 8 parking spaces was a variance to the Code. In
reading the staff report, approval of the request is to be
conditioned on compliance to all City Codes. He does not see
any mention that there are any variances or CUP's or anything
else needed in this case. The hearing on a move-on should be
limited to whether it is going to be allowed or not and the
Council should not be dealing with variances or CUP's at this
time.
Norm Priest.
If it meets Code, the applicant could build the structure that
is sitting on blocks on the property now without any action by
the Agency or the Council.

198
City Fa!l, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 7~ 198.7, 1:30 P.M.
Annika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning.
The project is required to comply with all zoning standards in
the same way as new construction. It includes parking at a
ratio of 2.5 spaces per unit - 8 covered and 2 open. Ail other
setbacks are required to be satisfied as well. It appears that
there are 8 spaces in the carport but she does not see any open
spaces. The Code is not met on parking since there is a need
for two more open spaces.
Mayor Bay.
The basic Code requirement is 10 spaces for the fourplex at 2.5
spaces per unit. The staff report reflects 8 spaces. He asked
Mr. Difilippo if he had two more.
Sam Difilippo.
There is 10 feet along the east side of the property which would
provide for the two additional tandem parking spaces.
Annika Santalahti.
The Code allows tandem if those spaces are assigned to a given
unit. While theoretically they could be tandem, one is supposed
to be a guest space which should not be tandem. The covered
spaces are all tandem to one another. She confirmed for the
Mayor that the request would require a variance.
Mayor Bay.
This is the first time he can recall that with a house move-on
the move-on also requires a variance.
City Attorney, Jack White.
He first explained the four different types of d~scretionary
approvals that may be required relative to a house move-on
following which he stated that it appeared the request also
needed a zone variance relating to parking. Because of that, as
well as the fact that the Council has a request both from the
neighbors and the applicant to continue the matter, he
recommends the following: That a continuance be granted for the
purpose of allowing the neishbors to determine whether or not
there are sufficient signatures to create a majority protest of
those owning property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the
particular lot and secondly for the applicant to present his
precise plans. Subsequently, prior to granting a relocation
permit, if parking is inadequate, or the structure or plot plans
indicate that zoning provisions are not entirely being met, it
was necessary for the Council to schedule and hold a public
hearing upon application by the applicant to grant variances
from the Code.
Mayor Bay.
He is at a loss relative to continuing the matter because he is
not certain the next step is that the Council reconvene on a
275
1'95
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 7~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
move-on or reconvene with the Planning Commission on a request
for a variance.
City Attorney White.
An option the Council would have is to deny the permit at this
time and if the applicant wishes to file an application for a
variance in concert with a house relocation permit, it can be
done at a later date. If a variance is needed for parking, the
Council could hear both conjunctively.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
She is concerned because the house is already on the property
and it is not on a foundation and it could be a problem in the
neighborhood. If a majority of the neighbors within 300 feet
are opposed, it will have to be moved.
Norm Priest.
Staff can have information back to the Council in one week and
will be happy to submit a report at that time.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved to continue the request for a house move-on
submitted by Sam Difilippo for one week to Tuesday, April 14, 1987 at
3:00 p.m. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. Councilman Pickler was
absent. One Vacancy. MOTION CARRIED.
REQUEST TO RETURN TO CITY MANAGER/DEPARTMENTAL CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS: City
Manager Talley asked if the Council at this point had any concerns regarding
any item under the City Manager/Departmental Consent Calendar portion of the
agenda. If not, he requested that those items be considered at this time,
before the next public hearing, so that staff present for those items could be
excused.
Councilman Pickler entered the Council Chambers. (11:13 a.m.)
CITY MANAGER/DEPARTMENTAL CONSENT CALENDAR: On motion by Councilwoman
Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Bay, the following items were approved in
accordance with the reports, certifications and recommendations furnished each

City Attorney White.
He asked Councilman Hunter if it was his position that he
(Hunter) has an interest in property, the value of which can be
materially affected by any decision the Council will make on the

City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 7~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Hugo Vazquez, 619 South Live Oak, Anaheim, was present to answer
questions.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
The change the applicant is looking for is from CL to RM-1200.
She has a problem with 3-story units and also with changing the
zoning since she feels this would be a good location for
commercial. She is also concerned that there is overbuilding
because of the affordable aspect resulting in 41 units to the
acre when 36 are allowed. She noted however, that the site
coverage was not as great as some of the projects Mr. Vazquez
has proposed. She does not feel this is a good location for the
project.
Hugo Vazquez.
The project is a 14-unit complex located across the street from
a church building which is much higher than his project and also
the new theatre, Freedman Forum. The complex will be compatible
with the building that Councilman Hunter owns which is one side
of the proposed project and also with the home that is on the
other side. It will conform and appear that the same developer
has developed all three parcels. He has met with the neighbors
and with the lady in the house next door who is pleased with the
project and in support of it. The complex is designed with
fireplaces in each unit and has an intercom throughout. Parking
is at 2.5 spaces per unit. With Victorian design, the project
will make a good impression in the neighborhood. The need for
the variances are to provide affordable housing in the
neighborhood. He has signed an affordable housing agreement
with the City and those units (2) will be set askde for a
20-year period. The need for affordable housing outweighs the
variances being requested.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN FAVOR: Nome.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN OPPOSITION:
Donna Berry, 511 East Broadway.
She is protesting on the grounds of the variances being
requested. She is sure the people in the neighborhood would
like to see the building conform to Code. She knows that Mr.
Vazquez tries hard to meet Codes on other buildings and feels he
could revise his plans to meet this one.
SUMMATION BY APPLICANT: Hugo Vazquez.
The area is in desperate need of new housing. The complexes he
has built in the immediate area on Melrose and Olive Streets are
100% occupied and have been since they opened because of the
great need. There is almost a zero vacancy factor in the
282
190
City Hall, Anmheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 7~ 1987, 1:30 P.M.
surrounding area. Rents of $750 a month for 2-bedroom and
2-bath units is due to lack of competition in the area. There
is no one who is opposed to the project who lives in the
surrounding property and there was no one in opposition at the
Planning Commission hearing. He understands Ms. Berry's
concerns. He reiterated there is a great need for housing in
that area.
Debbie Vagts, Leasing Supervisor.
Mr. Vazquez selected the 10% option thus providing 10% of the
units at very low rents, i.e., two 2-bedroom units that will
rent at $415 a month.
Mayor Bay.
The developer meets the requirements for affordable housing and
the underlying General Plan for the area is for multi-housing.
The variance on the actual density for this project is no more a
variance than the Council has seen on any affordable agreement
in the City. There was no opposition at the Planning Commission
hearing and no correspondence was received in opposition. He is
concerned about the opposition that is suddenly appearing in
Council hearings, on a case relating to aesthetics and in
another case now, the opposite of aesthetics. The Project Area
is the only area within the City where the laws talk about the
aesthetics of design. He favors the proposed development at the
subject location based on the policy established by the Council
to do something about the great need for affordable housing in
the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECIARATION: On motion by Councilman
Pickler, seconded by Councilman Bay, 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. Hunter was temporarily absent. One Vacancy.
MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Bay noted that in order to pass a resolution, it would require a minimum
of three votes.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
She has a concern that because of the vacant fifth Council seat
and the fact that Councilman Hunter has a conflict, that she
will be put in a position of voting other than the way she wants
to vote. Her vote will be a reluctant vote and she expects that
Mr. Vazquez will do an excellent Job on this project.
Councilman Bay offered Resolution No. 87R-133 for adoption, approving
Reclassification No. 86-87-27 and Resolution No. 87R-134 for adoption,
granting Variance No. 3638 subject to City Planning Commission conditions.

A review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested by Councilwoman
Kaywood and, therefore, a public hearing will be scheduled at a later date.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that on this request, proposals had been before the
Council several times. She is also concerned that approximately 17 people

5. VARIANCE NO. 3647: Submitted by Doyle E. and Marjorie L. Smith and

Variance No. 3647, and granted a negative declaration status.
A review of the Planning Commission's decision was appealed by the applicant
and, therefore, a public hearing will be scheduled at a later date.
Mayor Bay noted that the Council had the prerogative under the new ordinance
(Ordinance No. 4799) of referring the appeal to a Hearing Officer or holding a
public hearing before the Council. A letter dated March 30, 1987 was received
from Mr. George Savord, Attorney, this morning who is requesting that the
public hearing be before the City Council. He asked the City Attorney if when
the matter is referred to a Hearing Officer, can the outcome then be appealed
to the Council.
City Attorney Jack White. The City Council should designate who the Hearing
Officer will be, if it is referred. If the Council wishes, they could
designate the City Manager and allow him to designate a member of City staff
285
185
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 7~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
to perform that function. The Hearing Officer would gather the evidence and
submit a report and recommendation back to the Council and the Council would
make the final decision. The Council would not hear all of the testimony but
get the record of the hearing conducted by the Hearing Officer and the Council
would then make a final decision in all cases. The decision would still be by
the Council. He explained typically such a hearing is conducted in connection
with Transient Occupancy Tax appeals where a senior member of staff or
department head would be appointed to conduct the hearing and make s-mmary of
the evidence. The other alternative would be to contract with a judicial
arbitration service and have someone outside the City perform that function.
Because of the nature of the subject case, he does not believe it necessary to
go to outside expense. He reiterated the Hearing Officer listens to all
testimony and, in turn, makes a report back to the Council with a
recommendation. The Council will have a record of the hearing - the minutes
or synopsis or summary of the testimony to review. The Council will then make
the decision just as in any hearing the Council conducts but the Council will
not be sitting and listening to the entire public hearing. If the Council
hears it it would be a public hearing. If the Hearing Officer hears it, it
would also at a public hearing. As the notices go out for a Council hearing,
the Hearing Officer would be required to send those notices out and allow
anyone who is interested to testify before him.
Mayor Bay noted that relative to Conditional Use Permit No. 2885 appealed by
the applicant, it was granted by the Planning Commission with specific
conditions set. The request for appeal does not delineate what portion was of
concern.
City Attorney White. Any appeal filed relative to the action of the Planning
Commission, in essence, results in a de novo hearing. Once an appeal is set,
the City has the right to hear the case Just as though the process was
starting all over again.
MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved that the City Manager or his designee be the
Hearing Officer on appeal of the Planning Commission' s decision on
Conditional Use Permit No. 2885 with a public hearing to be held accordingly.
Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. One Vacancy. MOTION CARRIED.

127: CAMPAIGN SIGNS IN CITY HALL: Councilman Pickler stated he understands
the Anaheim Municipal Employees Association (AMEA) has an office in the Civic
Center and is displaying campaign signs. He feels that the display of such
signs in City Hall is out of place. The sign should be removed or placed on a
wall where it is not visible from the outside.
Councilman Hunter stated he understands AMEA leases the space from the City
and, therefore, have a right to put up what they want in that section under
the first amendment of the Constitution.
Councilman Pickler stated Councilman Hunter may be right but he still feel it
is improper to display those signs in City Hall. If the sign is not removed,
in his opinion the required notice should be given to AMEA stipulated in their
lease thereby terminating the lease.
No action was taken by the Council.
139/144: SUPPORTING THE 1987 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM - FOOTHILL/EASTERN CORRIDOR
AND SAN JOAqUIN CORRIDOR: Mayor Bay referred to the material submitted to the
Council in their packets dated April 3, 1987 which included a copy of a sample
resolution unanimously approving the 1987 Legislative Program of the
Foothill/Eastern and the San Joaquln Hills Transportation Joint Powers
Agency. Attached to it was letter dated March 30, 1987 from him (Bay) in his
capacity as Chairman for the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor to all
members of the Board urging that they present the Agency's Legislative Program
for 1987 to their respective Councils for formal ratification and
reaffirmation. He referred to Exhibit A of the March 12, 1987 Board meeting
reflecting the unanimous vote of not only on the Foothill/Eastern Corridor but
also the San Joaquin Corridor Transportation Agency in support of their 1987
Legislative Program for both of the Corridors. Letter from the Building
Industry Association (BIA) dated March 25, 1987, included as part of the
documentation, is also in complete accord and in support of the goals of the
1987 Legislative report.
288
184
Ctt7 Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 7, 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Bay stated he did not get the material in time to have the item added to
the Council's printed agenda. At this time, he was recommending and offered
Resolution No. 87R-136 for adoption, supporting the 1987 Legislative Program
of t~e Foothill and Eastern Corridor and the San Joaquin Corridor. Refer to
Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 87R-136: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM SUPPORTING THE 1987 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM OF THE FOOTHILLAND EASTERN
CORRIDOR AND THE SAN JOAQUIN CORRIDOR.
Before action was taken, Mayor Bay stated that a time limit was involved on
what was starting up in Sacramento this year. The three-pronged Legislative
Program of the Joint Power Authorities was being adjusted to meet some of the
changes that occurred in HR/ voted back in Washington D.C. with the override
of President Reagan's veto, i.e., the possibility of Federal funding up to 35%
of the total program even if toll roads or fees were included, which is a
landmark change with regard to Federal Government policy. They are looking
for the support of the representatives that have already taken place as a back
up to show the City's two State Senators and Assembly people that there is
backing for the Corridors and what they stand for. He is asking the Council
to support his vote on the JPA.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved that the need to take action on the subject
matter arose after publishing of the Council agenda thereby waiving the
72-hour posting provision of the Brown Act. Councilman Hunter seconded the
motion.
Before action was taken, Councilman Pickler questioned why the matter could
not be postoned for one week. He has not been able to study the issue in
depth but he understands the proposal does not have the support of the Orange
County Transportation Comm~ssion (OCTC) and he is a member of that Agency. He
has not had an opportunity to follow through on the Commission's reasons why
and he also understands the proposal does not have the support of the Board of
Supervisors. He is concerned why there is not mutual cooperation down the
line. He was going to have the OCTC put the item on their agenda for their
next meeting.
Mayor Bay. The only concern he heard from OCTC was that they were concerned
that the BIAwas a0t ia full support and asked that the JPA get the letter
which is now included in the material he submitted. The JPA Executive
Director has talked to them and now it is a matter of time &etting it on the
Commission agenda - the same with the Board of Supervisors. They have
referred it to their Legislative Committee for their April 9, 1987 meeting.
The JPA meeting is this Thursday, April 9, 1987 where the Authority hope to
have all the material back in order to start action on lobbying in Sacramento
with the backing of all the cities and the Board of Supervisors.
Councilman Pickler felt if the OCTC and the Board of Supervisors came on board
next Tuesday, that such action would carry a great deal of weight.
Mayor Bay urged a vote today even if Councilman Pickler had to abstain because
of his ties with OCTC so that the matter would be ready to be submitted to the
JPA on Thursday.
289
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 7~ 198,7~ 1:30 P.M.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion declaring the urgency of the
matter and waiving the 72-hour posting provision as outlined in the Brown
Act. Councilman Pickler abstained. One Vacancy. MOTION CARRIED.
Before a vote was taken on the Resolution, Councilman Pickler reiterated his
main concermwas the Board of Supervisors and the OCTC since they represented
all of Orange County. He personally would rather have some answers on why
they were not going along with support of the Legislative Program. He does
not see the urgency in acting on the matter today. He would like to vote in
favor because he feels it is a positive thing but he does not want to do so
today.
