142/107: ORDINANCE NO. 4698 - HANDBILLS: Amending Sections of Title 7
relating to the distribution of handbills.
City Attorney Jack White explained in light of recent litigation involving the
City of Anaheim specifically with regard to the distribution of handbills and
charitable solicitations at both Anaheim Stadium and Anaheim Convention
Center, his Office reviewed the City's applicable ordinances and today was
recommending an amendment to the handbill ordinance to bring it in line with
the court cases that have involved the City and with the cases that have been
decided both Federally and in the State of California. The proposed ordinance
had been reviewed and concurred in by the staff at both Stadium and Convention
Center. He recommended that the ordinance be given first reading today.
Councilman Roth offered Ordinance No. 4698 for first reading.
ORDINANCE NO. 4698: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING SECTIONS
7.24.030, 7.24.050, 7.24.060 AND 7.24.070 AND ADDING SECTION 7.24.080 TO
CHAPTER 7.24 OF TITLE 7 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO DISTRIBUTION
OF HANDBILLS.
Councilman Overholt noted that although his question did not deal with the
amendment before them today, the ordinance spoke in terms of a resident who
has expressed an opposition to distribution. He wanted to know how someone
could do that.
Mr. White answered there were two ways, a resident could either post a sign in
a conspicuous place on the residence or orally indicate to whoever may be
distributing the handbills not to leave one. If those were utilized but
ignored by the distributor, it would be a misdemeanor.
108: VACATING HEARING - TENDER TOUCH MASSAGE: City Attorney Jack White
explained that he was requesting that the Council by motion vacate the hearing
date set for the Tender Touch Massage Parlor on February 25, 1986 and refer
the matter to an Administrative Hearing Officer for preparation of record in
that case with a recommendation back to the Council for subsequent action on
the permits involved. He had discussed the matter with the attorney for
Tender Touch and they agreed, subject to Council approval, to have the matter
referred to the Judicial Arbitration Service. The cost of preparing that
record and bringing a recommendation back to the Council would be split
equally between the City and the owner of the business. Because of the
lengthy nature of the proposed hearing, it would be more expeditious for the
Council to refer the matter to the Hearing Officer.
109
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 18~ 1986~ 10:00 A.M.

that the matter be continued for two weeks.
MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to continue the discussion on senior
citizen condominiums to Tuesday, March 4, 1986. Councilman Overholt seconded
the motion.

rental ordinance were necessarily reflected in the condominium ordinance.

APPLICANT:
Orville B. Woods, et al,
621 North Pine Way,
Anaheim, Ca. 92805
ZONING/LOCATION/REQUEST: to construct a 20-unit apartment complex on RS-7200
zoned property located at 1224, 1228 and 1236 East La Palma Avenue, with the
following Code waivers: (a) required type of parking spaces, (b) maximum
structural height, (c) minimum structural setback, (d) maximum wall height.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Resolution No. PC86-1 granted Variance No. 3523,
and approved EIR - Negative Declaration.
HEARING SET ON:
Review requested by Councilwoman Kaywood at the meeting of January 28, 1986.
PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY:
Publication in Anaheim Bulletin February 6, 1986.
Posting of property February 7, 1986.
Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - February 6, 1986.
PLANNING STAFF INPUT:
See Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated January 6, 1986.
COUNCIL CONCERNS:
Councilwoman Kaywood.
She referred to Page 4-d of the staff report which reflected
some of her concerns mainly, the City Traffic Engineer was
concerned about the type of parking being insufficient, i.e.,
the number of covered spaces and staff agreed. Relative to the
minimum structural height, the staff report indicated that there
was a 48-foot setback to something. In speaking with Mr.
Crowley, Agent, he said that 51 feet was the closest. Relative
to the minimum structural setback to La Palma, 20 feet is
required and the report indicates 8 to 44 feet.
113
City Hall, Anaheimt California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 18t 1986~ 10:00 A.M.
APPLICANT'S STATEMENT AND ANSWERS TO CONCERNS EXPRESSED:
Massoud Monshizaddh, 1524 Victoria Way, Placentia.
Regarding parking, he had worked closely with Paul Singer who
helped design the parking. At the January 6, 1986 meeting with
staff no one objected.
STAFF INPUT:
Annika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning.
The Traffic Engineer's concern was the number of parking
spaces. He was not going to be quite as critical about setback
waivers to establish those spaces. The applicant is providing
the required number of 50 parking spaces, but only 33 covered
spaces with 40 required or 7 spaces short.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
That allows more density because it takes less space for open
spaces than covered parking.
Massoud Monshizaddh.
To the east and west is R3 zoning and there is no setback
requirement. The 51 feet is to the south. The project did not
have a 20-foot landscaped setback between the single-family
homes and the development.
Dr. Ron Crowley, Agent, 1700 Raintree, Fullerton.
They considered eliminating the small deck off the very last
unit but for aesthetic reasons left it on. They felt it was the
consensus of the Planning staff, as well, so that there would be
continuity throughout the whole building. The closest they
encroached to the building was 15 feet ranging out to 52 feet
giving an average in excess of the 20 feet required. There was
a large amount of green space provided on La Palma far in excess
of most of the other projects in the vicinity. The corner
handicapped parking was at 13 feet and the other end was at 18
feet averaging 15 feet which was the maximum encroachment.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN FAVOR: Ralph Blanchard, 1280 East La Palma.
In the past 20 years~ the subject property has deteriorated and
the proposed project is an improvement. He has been a resident
since 1960 and is in support of the project. He confirmed for
Councilwoman Kaywood that his property had an intent to multiple
family and he planned to do a similar development.
Orville Woods, applicant and owner, 621 North Pine Way.
Most of the maps did not show the cul-de-sac that backs up
against the property. One single-family residence in the rear
was at 148 feet and there were only two other property owners
affected in the 30-foot and 40-foot corners. In talking to the
residents, they were anxious to know why construction was not
proceeding. One resident was especially looking forward to the
7-foot wall since at present he was depending on a board fence
propped up by trees. He urged the Council to approve the
114
City Hall; Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 18~ 1986~ 10:00 A.M.
project. He confirmed to Councilwoman Kaywood that he was the
owner of all three houses.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN OPPOSITION:
None.
EXHIBITS, MATERIALS SUBMITTED:
None.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
It was not unusual since the neighbors wanted to do the same
thing that they would all be in favor of the project.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Roth closed the public hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilwoman
Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Pickler, 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.
COUNCIL CONCERNS:
Councilwoman Kaywood.
If the variance is approved as presented, it was going to have
three or at least two dangerous precedents. Minimum structural
setback is 20 feet required with no less than 15 feet anywhere.
The project has 8 feet. If allowed on this project, other
applicants will point to it as a reason for granting the same
for them. On a busy street like La Palma, the more setback, the
safer.
On the open parking spaces, the Council had allowed and even
encouraged those on senior citizen projects because of the
safety factor and the overall reduction of cost of a project
thus being beneficial to seniors. The subject project has 33
current spaces with 40 required which is another
precedent-setting action which will be requested by other
developers. The Traffic Engineer did say that there was an
insufficient number of covered spaces and staff agreed.
Relative to maximum structural height, where the intent to
multiple was on the west, the 48 feet would not be a problem but
not having the complete 20-foot landscape setback next to
single-family was another precedent. However, that was also
another intent to RM-1200 and that would be a reason why
changing the RS-7200 (single-family) to apartments would be
acceptable to the neighbors. She did drive by the area and the
condominiums that Mr. Monshizaddh had already built did look
nice, but it was a crowded situation considering that previously
there was one house per lot on that street.

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Gerald Bushore, 721 North Euclid, Ste. 202, representing
California Lutheran Homes.
California Lutheran Homes (Walnut Manor) has been serving the
community since 1936. The plans submitted today represent the
116
194
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 18~ 1986~ 10:00 A.M.
culmination of two years work representing a total concept which
he described, and a master plan. They were also changing some
of the convalescent home beds into a total facility containing
99 beds. A Certificate of Need bad already been granted by the
State. They hope to fill that convalescent home with the people
who are already residents of Walnut Manor. However, it is open
to all people. He then explained the unique features of the
facilities. Presently there is a 3-story unit on the property
which had been there for some time. The facility itself had
been on the property since 1936. It is necessary to look at the
whole facility including the cottages. Taking the overall
10-acre plus site, the density is not as great as it would be on
a 2 1/2 acre site.
Pastor Edgar Doering, Walnut Manor.
He explained for Councilman Overholt that they still had a
number of life contracts in effect with residents of the home
and also had some programs for subsidizing people who for one
reason or another Walnut Manor could serve better than anyone
else.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN FAVOR: None.

IN OPPOSITION:

Barry Jones, T. A. Jones, East 17th Street, Costa Mesa,

He answered questions posed by Councilwoman Kaywood relative to
the roof design especially the flat portion. It was not likely
that there would be leakage problem if designed properly.
