139/114: SUPPORTING CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH RESOLUTION NO. 87-36 RELATIVE TO
PRACTICES THAT MINIMIZE HAZARDOUS WASTE: Councilwoman Kaywood recommended
that the Council support the City of Newport Beach relative to the subject
resolution supporting the use of practices that minimize hazardous waste and
the preparation of a hazardous waste management plan by the County of Orange
pursuant to AB 2948; Councilman Pickler recalled that the City of Anaheim had
previously gone on record in support. He asked that staff subsequently
confirm that the Council had acted formerly on the matter.
MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to receive and file City of Newport Beach
Resolution No. 87-36. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. One Vacancy.
MOTION CARRIED.
173/114: CITY OF CERRITOS~ RESOLUTION NO. 87-7 RELATING TO AIR TRAFFIC
SAFETY: Councilwoman Kaywood asked that the Council support the subject
resolution to preclude another air tragedy such as the one that occurred over
Cerrttos.
Mayor Bay stated while he has no disagreement with the resolution, it is not
the only way to solve the problem. He would prefer that the matter be
continued one week and referred to the Intergovernmental Relations Officer,
since at this time there are a number of complex things going on relative to
296
220
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 14~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
Air Traffic Control. He was not ready to approve the resolution until there
was an in depth look at alternate methods and he did not want to be locked
into one method that would possibly defer another.
MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to continue consideration of support of
the City of Cerritos, Resolution No. 87-7, relating to Air Traffic Safety and
that the matter be referred to the Intergovernmental Relations Officer to
provide additional information to the Council. Councilman Bay seconded the
motion. One Vacancy. MOTION CARRIED.
Later in the meeting it was determined by the Council after Closed Session
that staff be given an additional week to submit a report and that the matter
be continued to Tuesday, April 28, 1987 instead of Tuesday, April 21, 1987.
139: SAFETY STANDARDS FOR CARPOOL OR HIGH OCCUPANCY VEHICLE (HOV) LANES -
ASSEMBLY BILL 699 (SEYMOUR): Assistant City Manager Rom Bates referred to
staff report dated April 8, 1987 from the Intergovernmental Relations Officer
William Sell, recommending that the Council determine its position on
establishing minimum design and safety standards for carpool or high occupancy
vehicle lanes throughout California as outlined in Assembly Bill 699 (Seymour)
and that the Council communicate that position to the City's elected
representatives in Sacramento.
Councilman Bay moved to support AB 699 (Seymour) establishing minimum design
and safety standards for carpool or high occupancy vehicle lanes throughout
California.
Before action was taken, Mayor Bay explained that in the Joint Powers
Authority (JPA) studies and the standards on future freeways in the County,
those standards will be met and there are special HOV lanes which are part of
the design for the corridors, but are down the middle and constructed with
fly-overs which have their own on and off ramps, planned into the corridors so
that they are not part of the actual freeway where a lane as narrow as 11 feet
is taken and designated as an HOV lane.
Councilman Hunter thereupon seconded the motion noting that anyone who drives
the 55 freeway knows that only inches separate the carpool lane from lane #1
which is a dangerous situation. He supports Senator Seymour's proposed bill.
Councilman Pickler. He agrees with the concept and has talked to Senator
Seymour agreeing that guidelines have to be set. However, he (Pickler) feels
this is a Job for Cai Trans. Also, the UCI Institute of Transportation is
making a study and analysis of accidents that have occurred on the 55
Freeway. The problem with the Seymour proposal is it would eliminate the H0V
lane on the 55 Freeway and he does not agree with that. He feels there should
be amendments to the bill and that legislation should not be arbitrarily set
in place, without the people who are involved with the safety factors, i.e.,
Cai Trans. Decisions should be made only after reports are submitted. He
feels it is premature at this time to support AB 699. The Council should
support the provisions of the bill calling for the development of uniform
standards for the design and operation of the HOV lanes. Development of
uniform standards will aid local agencies. At one time, he did vote against
297
City Hall~ Anaheimt California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 14~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
the HOV lane in his capacity on the Orange County Transportation Commission
with the idea that it should be a normal lane Just as the others. He
reiterated, the proposed action is premature and the Council should get all
the information they can before proceeding. There are many people who like
the carpool lane concept and this would eliminate the carpool lane on the 55
Freeway.
Councilwoman Kaywood. In view of the crippling traffic, to eliminate the HOV
lane at this time, without waiting for the studies that are in progress, would
be a mistake. She agrees that to have standards that are uniform throughout
the State in the future for anything being built is the best way to proceed
but she would rather see those standards coming through Cal Trams and the
engineers, experts and professionals in the field rather than a "knee-Jerk"
political move that may not answer the question.
Mayor Bay stated in his opinion if the bill passes it would very likely
eliminate the HOV lanes on the 55 Freeway and he favors doing away with those
lanes as soon as possible since there are many differences of opinion on the
accidents caused as a direct result of the HOV lane. He feels AB 699 is
needed as soon as possible.
Councilman Pickler. He feels the study which is expected to be completed in
June will give more answers so that the Council can make a better decision.
Councilman Hunter. The bill will establish throughout the State of California
minimum design and safety standards for carpool lanes. If it passes, it will
convert the present HOV lanes into general use lanes. He supports Senator
Seymour's bill. If they had such a bill prior to the HOV lanes being
established, there would not be the problem now. He feels the studies will
show a major increase in serious and fatal accidents.
Mayor Bay asked for a Roll Call Vote on the motion to support AB 699:

112/123: LEGAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY CERTIFIED LAW STUDENT - CITY COUNCIL
CONSENT: Councilman Bay moved to consent to representation by Donald P.
Cripe, a California State Bar Certified Law Student, to perform certain legal
services for the City, and authorizing the Mayor to execute the Consent Form
as recommended in memorandum dated April 1, 1987 from the City Attorney.

seconded the motion. One Vacancy. MOTION CARRIED.
105: APPOINTMENTS TO THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION: Appointments to
fill two terms created by vacancies on the subject Commission (Leo and
Stanton). This matter was continued from the meeting of March 31, 1987, to
this date.
Councilman Bay moved that the subject appointments be continued one week since
letters of application to serve on the Co-mission were still being received.
Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. One Vacancy. MOTION CARRIED.
179/106: REQUEST FORREHEARING - GAMES PLUS: Request for a rehearing
submitted by Clay Peters, Games Plus, to retain on-sale beer in a billiard
parlor and amusement arcade on CL zoned property at 3242 West Lincoln Avenue,
denied by Council at a public hearing on March 24, 1987.
Mayor Bay asked the City Attorney if the subject request could be referred to
a Hearing Officer in this case; the City Attorney answered yes.
Rudolfo MonteJano, attorney, 856 North Ross Street, Santa Ana, representing
Mr. Clay Peters of Games Plus, stated he assumed the Council had received a
copy of their appeal requesting a rehearing. He feels a full and fair hearing
is necessary to determine the destiny of the business. He then started to
brief the information contained in the affidavit of merit requesting the
rehearing.
Mayoz Bay interjected and explained that the information being relayed by Mr.
MonteJano at this time and anything further would be fully heard if his
request for rehearing is approved.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved to approve the request for a rehearing submitted
by Clay Peters, Games Plus, to retain on-sale beer in a billiard parlor and
amusement arcade on CL zoned property at 3242 West Lincoln Avenue which was
denied by the City Council at a public hearing on March 24, 1987.
Be/ore action was taken, City Attorney ~;htte explained that under the
ordinance the City Council should designate the Hearing Officer and they could
do so by designating the City Manager or his designee to act as the Hearing
Officer in this particular case unless Council would rather have staff hire an
independent member of the Judicial Arbitration Service. He suggests that it
could be handled internally.
Councilman Bay amended his motion that the rehearing be held before a Hearing
Officer designated by the City Manager. Councilman Hunter seconded the motion.
City Clerk Sohl noted another agenda item which had previously been set to be
heard before a Hearing Officer (CUP No. 2885) requesting that the motion
approved on April 17, 1987 to set the matter before a Hearing Officer be
rescinded and instead that a public hearing be set to be heard before the
299
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 14~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
Council. The new ordinance relative to setting matters before a Hearing
Officer makes mention of an administrative record to be prepared by the
Hearing Officer but does not set forth any resources whereby that can take
place. In addition to the motion, she would request that if it is the City
Clerk's Office who is to be responsible to provide the record, then she will
require additional resources from the Council Contingency Fund to do so. The
ordinance does not specifically mention the Clerk's Office although the City
Attorney feels it should be an obligation of her office. Her strategy,
therefore, would be to hire a Court Reporter to attend the hearing and prepare
the administrative record.
Mayor Bay surmised then that this was a budgetary matter. He had no argument
with the request which he stated would be handled out of the Council
Contingency Fund.
Mr. MonteJano stated the applicant would be glad to share the cost of the
Court Reporter for the rehearing.
City Attorney White asked if that would then be a 50-50 cost split; Mayor Bay
confirmed that it would be shared 50-50, 50Z for the City and 50Z for the
applicant.
Councilman Pickler asked if at the previous hearing (March 24, 1987 public
hearing) if the hearing, in fact, complied with all legal requirements.
City Attorney White stated that the hearing was fair. The basis for the
rehearing is that the applicant believes he did not have an opportunity to
prepare in advance knowing what the specific charges were. Even though it was
a fair hearing, it is a discretionary matter on which the Council could grant
a rehearing.
Councilman Pickler stated he feels that the public hearing previously held was
sufficient and he is not inclined to grant the rehearing.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion, granting the rehearing request
to be heard before a Hearing Officer designated by the City Manager with the
cost to provide the administrative record to be shared by the both the City
and the applicant on a 50-50 cost share basis. Councilman Pickler voted no.
One Vacancy. MOTION CARRIED.
108: APPLICATION FOR A PUBLIC DANCE PERMIT: Councilman Pickler moved to
approve a public Public Dance Permit submitted by Jesus M. Frias, to hold a
dance at Anaheim Convention center, April 18, 1987, 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., in
accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Police. Councilman Bay
seconded the motion. One Vacancy. MOTION CARRIED.
179/106: REHEARING - CONDITIONALUSE PERMIT NO. 2885 - AUTOMOBILE REPAIR
FACILITY: Rescinding the motion of April 7, 1987 setting Conditional Use
Permit No. 2885, to permit an automobile repair facility on ML zoned property
located at 1884 South Santa Cruz Street, for a public hearing before a hearing
officer and thereby setting it for a public hearing by the City Council. The
suggested date and time for the public hearing is April 28, 1987 at 3:00 p.m.

City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 14~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Hunter asked in this case if a rehearing is granted and heard
before a Hearing Officer if a call could be made to the Attorney's Office
representing the applicant asking if the applicant would share in the cost to
provide the administrative record.
City Attorney ~hite answered that this was an appeal of a Planning
Commission's decision and there is a difference between a request for
rehearing and an appeal. In an appeal, the applicant has the right to an
appeal and he does not believe that legally the Council can require the
appellant to agree to pay for a Hearing Officer especially in a case where the
applicant does not want the matter to be heard before a Hearing Officer. The
only option would be to build into an appeal fee an amount of money sufficient
to cover such costs or set forth a reserve so that in cases where a Hearing
Officer is used, there would be a reserve to cover the cost.
Mayor Bay stated when an appeal of the Planning Commission decision is made
and the appellant indicates he does not want a hearing before a Hearing
Officer but before the Council, that is the Council's prerogative; City
Attorney White answered it was the Council's right even over the appellant's
objection to refer the matter to a Hearing Officer. The final decision is
still made by the Council.
Mayor Bay stated in the subject case, the hearing should be set before the
Hearing Officer as the Council previously voted and the costs will become a
secondary problem.
Councilwoman Kaywood. She expressed concern over the additional cost for such
hearing. She objects to using the Council Contingency Fund to cover the cost
since the fund is used for emergency items; Councilman Pickler stated it was a
new area that had not been tried before and it is worth a try to see what
develops relative to these first two cases.
Hayor Bay stated until staff has had an opportunity to determine what the
costs are going to be and the comparison made, he has no way of knowing what
procedure is going to cost the most.
City Clerk Sohl stated if the Council does not wish to rescind the motion and
allow staff to hire a Court Reporter, then shew ill proceed the way the motion
stands.
City Attorney White stated that a motion to remove the item from the agenda
was all that was necessary.
Councilman Hunter moved that the motion to deny rescinding of the motion
previously made by the Council relative to setting a hearing before a Hearing
Officer on Conditional Use Permit No. 2885 be taken off the agenda.
Councilman Bay seconded the motion. One Vacancy. MOTION CARRIED.

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.
This matter was continued from the meeting of April 7, 1987, to this date.
City Clerk Sohl referred to letter received from the applicant, Mr. Difilippo,
requesting a continuance of the public hearing but without specifying a
specific date.
Mayor Bay stated that the Council had received his request and he asked if a
one week continuance was sufficient; Mr. Difilippo answered yes. He
(Difilippo) also reported in answer to the Mayor that he did not not receive a
copy of the report from the Building Division dated April 10, 1987. (A copy
of the memorandum was thereupon provided).
Councilwoman Kaywood asked if there was more than a majority of ~he homeowners
protesting to the move-on.
Donna Berry, 511 East Broadway. They have contacted virtually
every property owner within the 300 foot radius which contains
43 properties and have received signatures of approximately
2/3rds of those in that area who are opposed. She turned a copy
of those signatures into the Zoning Administrator some time
ago. She had the original signatures with her.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator.
The signatures were submitted to her Just after lunch today. It
was going to take a while to check the 27 signatures submitted.
303
City Hall~ Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES -.April 14; 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Bay asked the City Attorney if over 50% of the properties
were opposed, would that make the hearin~ moot.
City Attorney White answered under the language in the Code
currently the Council, in order to approve the permit is
required to find that less than a majority of the property
owners within 300 feet have protested. If there are petitions,
letters or personal appearances by a majority of property owners
within 300 feet objecting, his opinion is that the Council would
be required to deny the permit.
Councilman Bay stated with that understanding, he is going to move for a one
week continuance on the public hearing on the subject house move-on based on
the request of the applicant and to give staff an opportunity to verify the
signatures submitted. Councilman Hunter seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood asked that it be scheduled as
the first public hearing at the meeting of April 21, 1987.
Councilman Bay included in his motion that the house move-on public hearing be
the first scheduled on next week's agenda.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. One Vacancy. MOTION CARS/ED.
123/136: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: To consider an agreement with California
Lutheran Homes (CLH) to provide financing in an amount not to exceed
$6,000,000 for a 99-bed skilled nursing facility known as Walnut Manor to be
located at 891 South Walnut Street.
PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY:
Publication in Anaheim Bulletin March 24, 1987.
STAFF INPUT:
See Staff Report dated April 7, 1987 from the Director of
Finance George Ferrone to the City Manager/City Council,
recommending that the Council approve the financing transaction
for California Lutheran Homes and authorizing the Mayor to
approve and execute agreements and authorizin~ and directing
certain actions with respect thereto. (See report outlining the
specific agreements).
Eon Bates, Assistant City Manager, stated that Mr. Ferrone was
available to answer questions and to bring the Council up to
date on the financing itself if the Council wished.
Mayor Bay asked if anyone wished to speak relative to the
proposed agreement; there was no response.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Bay closed the public hearing.
Councilman Pickler asked Mr. Ferrone if the City had assisted
before in similar circumstances, if this was standard procedure,
and the City's responsibilities under such an agreement.
304
2i2
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 14~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
George Ferrone, Director of Finance, answered that the City
approved a similar arrangement previously with Anaheim Memorial
Hospital and Martin Luther Hospital. It is a unique privilege
for those kinds of organizations and institutions and the City
has traditionally assisted the hospitals when it is an Anaheim
operation. The City is merely acting as a conduit for CLH to
allow the hospital to raise funds at a lower interest rate and
the City is totally indemnified in every regard. The City will
require the CLH to maintain a letter of credit for the entire
amount of the bond issue, so if for any reason there was a
default, there would be a claim against that letter of credit to
pay off the bond orders. The entire 36 million is bonded. It
is not standard in the fact that in this particular case the
City asked for a total assurance.
Mayor Bay stated he had discussed the matter with Mr. Ferrone
that morning but for purposes of clarification he asked the
maximum risk involved and any downside to the City in any
sense. Was there any risk on the City's part in the transaction.
Mr. Ferrone answered that there is no risk whatsoever on the
City's part in the proposed transaction.
Councilman Bay offered Resolution No. 87R-140 and 87R-141, the first
authorizing the execution and delivery of a First Installment Sale Agreement
with California Lutheran Homes, to provide financing in the amount of
36,000,000 for certain health facilities; and the second authorizing the
financing transaction for California Lutheran Homes, and authorizing the Mayor
and City Clerk to execute the First Installment Sale Agreement and Second Sale
Agreement with CLH; Trust Agreement with Security Pacific National Bank and
CIA/; First Assignment Agreement with CLH; and Certificate Purchase Agreement
offered by Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. to purchase Certificates of
Participation; approving as to form the Preliminary Official Statement
relating to the Certificates and authorizing the Mayor to execute the Final

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Floyd Farano, attorney, representing the agent, Banco
Development Group.
He first submitted letter dated April 18, 1987 which outlined
the presentation he is going to make to the Council on the
subject appeal. Before continuing, he referred to the
February 18, 1987 staff report regarding Eeclassification No.
86-87-22, Page 3a. He wanted the Council to know that the
applicant has stipulated to eliminating waivers b, c and d by
virtue of the fact that there has been a change in signing,
therefore, those requested waivers are no longer required. He
explained for Councilwoman Kaywood that the only change was the
elimination of the sign. They had changed the "footprint" of
what was earlier the Del Taco restaurant to retail. The new
footprint was delivered to staff last week and it is one of the
exhibits posted on the Chamber wall.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator.
Since staff received a copy only last Thursday afternoon, a
report was not prepared to discuss the differences. The exhibit
still shows the sign; however, the basic dif~erence is the
deletion of the drive-thru restaurant replacing it with retail
square footage thereby modifying the overall parking requirement
but it still requires a variance based on straight retail use of
the site without including any food service or restaurant
facilities.
Floyd Farano.
Briefed the letter report dated April 14, 1987 submitted in
support of the appeal - i.e., description of the property, the
revised site plan, the increased number of parking spaces, a
discussion of the traffic study (also see attachment Exhibit 1 -
a s-mmary of a review of traffic and parking factors related to
307
Cit~ Hall; Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 14; 1987; 1:30 P.M.
the proposal by Weston Pringle and Associates, Traffic and
Transportation Engineering firm dated January 22, 1987 -
specifically paragraph 2, Page 1), proposed uses, parking vis a
vis Anaheim Stadium events, and parking control on event days.
He also briefed the site plan posted on the Chamber wall in
relation to the various issues presented in the detailed
report. During his presentation, Mr. Farano stated he wanted to
withdraw the uses listed on Page 3 of Exhibit 1 entitled
Table 1, similar center land uses which listed those uses
contained in 3 other commercial centers. He stated the uses on
the list are not the uses the applicant intends to have in the
subject area. Instead, the uses listed on Page 11 of Exhibit 2
(the second page of letter dated February 17, 1987 from Weston
Pringle) are the uses proposed for the center. Working from the
site plan, he showed how far the closest residential area was
located. He also noted that there was no other retail sales
area in the subject area to serve any portion of the community.
The area depicted is generally referred to as the "Platinum
Triangle." He also showed where the drive-thru was originally
located, now eliminated, and then elaborated on the meeting that
Banco had with Grey Trombley at Anaheim Stadium relative to the
possibility of entering into an agreement for 80 parking spaces
on the stadium lot for the employees of the proposed center
except on event days. Mr. Farano stated it is the applicant's
intention, and they would accept as a stipulation, that the
stores other than food service facilities will close at 5:00
p.m. in the evening on any event day and that will be written
into the leases.
City Attorney White.
He explained that the City currently had several license
agreements for use of parking spaces at the Stadium during the
hours that parking would not conflict with the Angels or Rams
events or any events of the City's other tenants and it requires
that upon a minimum amount of prior notice to the licensee that
those spaces are not available on any given day when there are
events and further that the license is terminable on 30 days
advance notice by either party. The ones entered into up to now
have all been license agreements and he assumes this would be
the same as well.
Mr. Farano continued that the other condition they believe will
be beneficial to the continuation of development as a service to
commercial office (C-O) and industrial is the condition stated
at the bottom of his letter, Page 2, Item D - "Banco is willing
to have the following language included in conditions for
approval - only sales and retail uses which primarily serve and
are compatible with C-O and industrial uses shall be allowed.
Sales and products which attract customers other than commercial
office and industrial uses shall not be considered compatible."
This language was extracted out of the City's Code except it
says they will not install retail uses that are not compatible
and which do not service C-0 and industrial users in that area.
Ctt7 Hall~ Anahelm~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Apr!l 14~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
In concluding, Mr. Farano stated that the developer believes the
4.45 miles depicted in the Exhibit is definitely in need of some
kind of commercial services. It will be an assistance to the
office complexes that are in existence now and that will be
constructed in the future. There are no other retail sources
within walkin~ distance to obtain any retail goods or
merchandise. The proposal will enhance the leasability of the
present commercial office space, one of the complaints from one
of the largest users of commercial office space in the vicinity
being lack of supportin~ services. An office use on the 2.86
acres of land in the area would contribute substantially more
traffic to the intersection of State College and Katella than
the uses being proposed. Further, in order to preserve the
integrity of the area, they are also proposing the following
condition: that the applicant will accept the condition
restrictin~ those uses that are compatible only with retail and
industrial as previously stated and will also insert a condition
in their leases which will require all uses in the center except
food dispensers to close their business at 5:00 p.m. on any
event or game day. Thirdly, they will maintain the park/ng
spaces they are using from the Ci..ty pursuant to a license and
that during game days, they will institute a system relative to
parking similar to that used by Casa Maria and Charlle Browns.
After Mr. Farano's presentation, extensive discussion and
questioning followed between Council Members, Mr. Farano and
staff. A particular concern was the parkin~ situation, the
number of spaces and especially the difficulty the Council felt
would be encountered in restrictin~ businesses in their hours of
operation on game or event days at the Stadium. Miss Santalahti
explained on the original request there were 155 spaces or 58.7%
of the requirement of 264. That was based on a mix of retail
plus the drive-thru restaurant. The revised proposal is 163
spaces proposed which amounts to ?6Z. The requirement of 214
spaces is based on a straight retail requirement. A sit-down
restaurant is not included in those 214 spaces.
Floyd Farano.
Weston FrlnEle did the parkln~ study and used the items on
Page 11 of the material he presented (see report submitted). He
was given the square footages and those were the uses he
considered and quantities that he was given on the studies when
he computed 155 spaces would be adequate. Those uses were
before him at the time he did the studies.
Mayor Bay.
He stated he did not doubt what Mr. Farano reported but staff
did not have those figures in order to compute what the Code
is. Staff would need the same figures Weston PrinEle used in
order to compare their opinion on what the Code is.
309
City Hall., Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 14~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
Annika Santalahti.
On traffic studies, the original intent of the variance
procedure for parking tied into the anticipation that they would
have existiu~ users so that an analysis could be site specific.
The three centers addressed in the documentation submitted are
not comparable to the same location. If a project exists in a
certain form, it is clear what uses there are. The subject
project, however, is based on projects that do not exist for
staff at all except on paper.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
She noted the project could be all restaurants and then nothing
would close and restaurant use would need a full compliment of
parking. Any other location in the City is not comparable
without having Anaheim Stadium next to it.
Debbie Fank, Assistant Traffic Engineer.
The project currently has 214 spaces without the additional
square footage of the restaurant which means that the project
will be even at less than 76% and they cannot accept only 76% at
that particular location.
Councilman Pickler.
He has a problem with the proposal in any case. Everything
listed as possible uses in the center caters to retail. This
location is in the Platinum Triangle and this project does not
fit into what the City wants to see in that area. Services that
support commercial will be incorporated into the buildings that
are going into the area. He emphasized he feels the proposed
retail center is out of place in the subject location. He is
also concerned with the proposed parking and especially
concerned with the traffic and circulation in that entire area.
It will attract more retail customers than Just those people in
the surrounding commercial office and industrial.
Mayor Bay.
He is not ready to give his final opinion on the proposal since
the Council is lacklu8 the info,marion that has to be reviewed
by the Traffic Engineer. He can also foresee all kinds of
problems of enforcement and no matter how many conditions are
worked out, he does not know how the City would ever enforce
them especially those businesses who would have to close at
certain times and the many other issues involved.
Floyd Farano.
Perhaps he has to assemble more and different information
relative to the development to present his case more clearly.
There is no doubt in his mind or the minds of the people who do
the feasibility studies that this is the right place for the
project they are proposing.
310
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 14~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Bay.
The Council is only looking at what the developer proposes to do
with his property against the City's basic Codes. At the same
time, they have to have firm enough numbers on a change to a
design that is before the Council for hearing. Those numbers
have to go to the City's professionals in Planning and Traffic
so they can give some comparison in order to know what they are
looking at. He suggested that Mr. Farano continue the hearing
until the information is set up that way.
Councilman Pickler.
Although he has no problem continuing the public hearing, the
facts will only get worse. Staff has figured every space in the
proposal as retail without any eating spaces. If eating spaces
are added, the percentage of parking spaces projected now will
decline.
Debbie Fank.
She confirmed that was correct.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN FAVOR: None.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN OPPOSITION:
Mr. Don Kiely, 2110 East Katella, Anaheim, Ca. 92803.
The applicant has apparently made changes that he (Kiely) has
not had an opportunity to review. He has long understood the
subject property was going to be an office project. They have
serious concerns relative to the intensity of the proposal and
the parking proposed. The parking is about 3 quarters of what
is required by City Code. Insufficient parking in this proposed
parking would have a detrimental effect on his business and
tenants. (See Mr. E/ely's letter dated April 9, 1987 outlining
in detail the concerns he has relative to the proposed
development).
Mr. Kiely confirmed for Councilwoman Kaywood that if the
proposal complies with parking required under City Codes, he
would not be objecting to the development.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved to continue the public hearing on
Reclassification No. 86-87-22 and Variance 3636. He assumed that it was not
necessary to continue the public hearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 2883
since the drive-thru restaurant was eliminated.
Before any action was taken, Mr. Farano stated he would like to
request a continuance on both items, the Conditional Use Permit
for the drive-thru as well.
Mayor Bay stated the key is whether the project is going to be
straight commercial, or restaurants since the big factors change
in the parking requirements when restaurants are included. If
311
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 14~ 1987t 1:30 P.M.
the developer could determine a limitation on the square footage
of sit-down restaurants that require the added parking and
commit to that across the whole development, then the uses would
fall into the other categories, those requiring 5.5 spaces per
1000 square feet. When talking about the bank and a complete
revision of the design, his reaction to that would be that the
developer go back to the Planning Commission and start over. If
there are time constraints and they want to keep it at the
Council level, the developer will have to come up with a square
footage on generic uses so the Council will know what to look at
relative to parking. It may be they will have to drastically
reduce some of the uses that require that parking in order to
come closer to the Code and in order to get the approval they
are seeking.
Councilman Bay then amended his motion for continuance that the public hearing
on Reclassification No. 86-87-22, Variance 3636 and Conditional Use Permit
No. 2883 be continued to May 12, 1987 at approximately 3:00 p.m. requesting
that the information needed by staff be submitted to staff by the applicant
within the next two weeks to give sufficient time for a staff report to be
prepared. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion for purposes of discussion.
Mr. Farano asked instead for a six week continuance.
The motion was amended to six weeks or Hay 26, 1982.
Councilman Pickler.
He reiterated this is a project that is not going to get any
better because of the restaurants. This shopping center does
not belong in that area and he wants to uphold the Planning
Commission's decision of denial.
Councilman Hunter.
He sees a number of problems and it may be something that needs
to start all over from scratch by going back through the
Planning Commission process. He is concerned about the parking
conditions especially in the Stadium area. With the possibility
of an arena being built nearby, he sees major problems with
regard to parking. He also does not believe it is feasible
telling businesses that they have to close at 5:00 p.m. He is
agreeable to a continuance.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
She has concerns relative to this particular corner. It is a
show place entrance into the Platinum Triangle. She will not
agree with any parking waivers.
A vote was then taken on the motion, continuing the public hearing for six
weeks with revised plans to be submitted to staff in four weeks and failed to
carry by the following vote:

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION - (RECLASSIFICATION
NO. 86-87-22~ VARIANCE NO. 3636 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2883: 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. One Vacancy. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Pickler offered a resolution denying Reclassification No. 86-87-22,
Variance 3636 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2883, upholding the findings of
the City Planning Comm~ssion.
Mayor Bay.
He is going to oppose the resolutions of denial primarily
because in talking about the Platinum Triangle that whole area
is as commercial as an area can get and the type of development
being proposed will be needed. The project needs to be changed,
improved and brought back in.
City Attorney Jack White.
If the modification in the plans is so significant that a
hearing was not even held on the specific project in question
i.e., if this is a different project, not only should it go back
to the Planning Commission, but legally it would have to go
back. He does not know if they are at that point at this time.
Floyd Farano.
He requested that the Council reconsider its position on the
extension of time he requested. All the Council's comments are
appropriate. With the thoughts and guidance received from the
Council today, the continuance will enable them to revise the
plans accordingly. Otherwise the cost and time of starting all
over again is substantial. In the event they find that in
reconsiderin~ the project the changes are substantial, they
would so advise the Council and request that the matter be
referred back to the Planning Commission.
After further discussion, Councilman Pickler agreed to go along with the
continuance period. He thereupon withdrew the resolutions of denial
previously offered by him.
Councilman Bay again restated his motion to continue the public hearing on the
Reclassification, Variance and Conditional Use Permit for six weeks to May 26,
1987 at approximately 3:00 p.m. requesting that the information that is needed
313
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 14~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
by staff be submitted to staff by the applicant within the next four weeks to
give sufficient time for a staff report to be prepared.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. One Vacancy. MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Bay noted that Mr. Farano had made a commitment that if it is their
decision to do a major redesign of the project, he will let the Council know
and will request that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission.
